Mars in Capricorn
Mars in the sign of Capricorn: In this sign Mars is exalted; this placement is the best for Mars. I know many people
who have such a combination in their horoscopes, and they are all energetic, devoted people, able to work selflessly for long hours. These people can perform important, difficult work; they have good friends; there are periods of disorder in their family affairs. According to Doctor B. V. Raman, the most renowned Indian astrologer, such people will «love luxury, will be educated, well-known, will possess great ardour». These people work for the good of some good cause; they are invariably useful to their relatives. In their former lives these people practised sacrifices, observed the vow of celibacy and performed spiritual service.
This position of Mars (as of any other exaltation of a planet) in the horoscope must be treated with respect. We may also note the possibilities connected with real estate, the working of mechanisms, mathematics, surgery, sport, military action and other qualities of Mars. (Tom Hopke)
Mars in Capricorn: active, strong, brisk, cautious. Takes responsible work upon himself, successful in the professions chosen (doctors, military men, sportsmen, estate agents). Law-abiding, helps everyone, but receives no help from others himself. Known as generous. Unsuccessful affairs before marriage. A successful marriage. Mars in the second drekkana (from 10 to 20 degrees) gives wealth. A good placement for business, and also if Mars is in the third drekkana (from 20 to 30 degrees). (Mahesh Dharmadasa)

RESULTS OF THE PLACEMENT OF MARS IN CAPRICORN
If Mangala is placed in Makara, then the person will show valour in war, will be happy because his wife is happy, will be occupied with affairs against those close to him, will possess magnificence and will hold the attainment of his goal in his own hands.
Commentary: The Rashi Makara [the sign Capricorn] is the Rashi of exaltation of Mangala [Mars]. Therefore Mangala manifests its qualities to the greatest degree while in this Rashi. In such a person there flows a stream of strength and energy, of invincible bravery, enthusiasm and a wish to do something extraordinary; all this will manifest in him to a considerable degree. Such a native wants to be the most important and to be ahead of everyone. He knows how to organise, direct and lead to a considerable degree.

Mars in Capricorn: Mars in exaltation is its strongest placement.
Boldness, ambition, resolve and patience. A heroic nature. Mars in Capricorn gives the strength to attain what seems unattainable. Strong energy comes from them. A very good ability both to obey and to lead. In my experience these are more executors, middle managers, since leaders of corporations and presidents are usually characterised by a strong Sun. They are good organisers. They have influential friends. A subtle and receptive mind; they will attain much through their intuition. Such people are inclined to various risks and speculations; usually they become well-known in their profession and attain fame, and occupy a good, authoritative post.
Such a person has accumulated much sexual energy in a past life, and this placement often occurs in those who were monks in a past life (especially if Mars in Capricorn is in the 5th and especially the 7th house). If Mars is well placed, such people have strong logic. Mars is responsible for science, consistency, the art of war.
Exaltation, a very powerful placement, enormous inner strength. They can build relationships; diplomacy, kindness, an athletic, strong physique.
If Mars is afflicted, then the person becomes too impulsive, insistent, persistent and very rude. He may fawn upon people, associate with them out of fear rather than out of respect, be excessively shy.
It is important for such people to work in a team, to learn to respect other people, because the Sun gives nobility and the ability to be diplomatic, while in Mars this is manifested to a lesser degree.
Also, if the person lives in passion and ignorance, then there may be losses through authorities and opponents. Separation from a beloved, from friends and relatives. Friends may be false. Usually the knees and joints of such people suffer; there may be rheumatism, fevers.
It is recommended to donate gold, copper, ghee, flour, red clothing, red flowers, red peas. Sweet food should be thrown into a river, into flowing water.
