Mars as darakaraka

Mars as darakaraka attracts an energetic, bold and direct partner. The union is passionate and active but has its sparks of argument, so it is important for the couple to channel their shared energy into common goals.

How the partner appears

Mars governs decisiveness, strength and protection. In the role of darakaraka it describes a spouse who is active, sporty and independent, often connected with technology, engineering, the military or police, medicine or real estate. Such a partner makes decisions quickly and does not like long hesitation.

The dynamics of the relationship

• a vivid start to the relationship, quick rapprochement;
• arguments and clashes of character that flare up and die down quickly;
• the spouse is ready to protect the family and take on difficult tasks;
• shared sport, building work or business strengthens the couple.

The strength of Mars

In Aries, Scorpio or in exaltation in Capricorn, Mars as darakaraka usually gives a strong and reliable partner. In debilitation in Cancer, or next to Rahu or Saturn, irritability, rivalry within the couple or difficulty reaching agreement are possible. This should not be confused with manglik dosha, which is determined by the position of Mars in the houses rather than by its karaka role. A rule of resolving conflicts at once and calmly helps.
