Mars in Aquarius

Mars in the sign of Aquarius: For Mars this sign is neutral. It contributes to the appearance of a person inclined to competition and argument, possessing a certain strength. A slight shadow lies upon their good name; they are the object of envy. They are inclined to a logical perception of things, but often they accumulate too great a quantity of energy in their mind. Therefore they often grow angry. They may be troubled by problems connected with the heart and the circulation. They are surrounded by a certain pleasant, attractive energy. They love to wander, are disposed to meditation, and fall into poverty at various periods of their life. They may be rude and use intoxicants.

The classical texts mention «a small number of children, an ability to forgive quickly, sincerity and knowledge in the field of various languages and sciences». By its nature Mars is an unfavourable planet, and Saturn, the lord of Aquarius, is also malefic by nature, and therefore this combination may lead a person born with Mars in this sign to perform actions unworthy of the level of his knowledge. These people are inclined to complain: it often seems to them that they are deprived of good fortune and deceived by fate. (Tom Hopke)

Mars in Aquarius: kind, a volunteer. Helps the poor and the helpless. He helps himself and teaches others to care for the helpless. Good relations with relatives. A good marriage. They keep offences within themselves and at a certain moment may explode. They are kind but dissatisfied with life. A fondness for alcoholic drinks. Death will come far from home or among strangers. In the second drekkana Mars gives great intelligence. A very successful marriage if Mars is in the third drekkana. (Mahesh Dharmadasa)

RESULTS OF THE PLACEMENT OF MARS IN AQUARIUS

If Mangala is placed in Kumbha, then the person will be devoid of courtesy, ill, disposed in opposition to his kin, exceedingly vicious and oppressed by the fact that he is the father of many sons.

Commentary: A person with this placement in his birth chart works hard in order to satisfy his aspirations. He can easily overcome the most difficult obstacles on his way to attaining a goal. Such a native is an active worker in any organisation; and the management of any organisation is impossible without him. He has a scientific outlook and an unchanging opinion; he loves freedom, is inventive, beneficent and hard-working.

If Mangala [Mars] receives a malefic influence, then the person's decisions will be unstable, his character exceedingly unrestrained; he will be disposed in opposition to those close to him, boastful, quarrelsome and exceedingly angry. If this placement is formed in the 11th Bhava [house], then these results will be more intense.

Mars in Aquarius: On the one hand, it is in a somewhat hostile sign, but on the other hand many sources say that Mars in Aquarius, especially for women, is better than in Capricorn. Such a placement gives wisdom. The people are very compassionate, giving, spiritual. There is no powerful martian drive, but kindness comes from them; they know how to bring what they have begun to a conclusion; nobility, in a certain sense a withdrawal into spirituality. Aquarius would like to serve and protect others, and Mars is precisely such a planet of strength and might. The eleventh house in the abstract horoscope; Mars in the 11th house is the best placement after Mars in the 10th house. Especially if Mars is aspected by a favourable planet, this will give stunning results and success in business; such people will serve others.

Among the negative points there may be problems with the knees, the blood, rashes.

«My son has Mars in Aquarius as a yoga-karaka — he always stands up for the weak. He says wise things».

«Mars in Aquarius in the 5th house — my knees were always scraped».

«My knees crack something awful».
