Mars in Sagittarius
Mars in the sign of Sagittarius: Here Mars is in a good placement, since this sign is friendly towards it. Indeed, practically every one of the seven principal planets is well placed if it is in the sign of Sagittarius; from this we can understand how favourable this sign is. Sagittarius is ruled by the pious planet Jupiter; it is a holy sign. Those planets that are placed in this sign will noticeably manifest their qualities in the life of this person. Therefore a person with Mars in this sign will fight for a good cause; he will direct his energy towards the raising of the material or the spiritual life of society. The classical texts assert that this person will be respected by the sages, he will have a good command of some craft, will be a chief, a doctor, will be wealthy, will have excellent mental abilities. Good possibilities for the birth of children may also manifest, an ability to inspire others to action, at times an imperious, commanding nature. (Tom Hopke)

Commentary: Being in the Rashi Dhanu [the sign Sagittarius], Mangala [Mars] will develop in the person a spirit of freedom, openness, enthusiasm and ambitions <aspirations>. Such a person is a good satirist; he possesses steady thinking, and retorts flash very quickly in his mind during discussions. If Mangala is aspected by Guru [Jupiter], then the person will be invincible in the Shastras (in discussions on the Shastras). Such a person has bold thinking, he loves travel, is far-sighted and full of warlike tendencies.
If Mangala [Mars] is under the influence of other malefic Grahas [planets], then an accident may happen to the person during a journey, he will quarrel with his brothers and sisters, will incur losses because of his servants and will suffer defeat in court.

Mars in Sagittarius: A very good, strong placement; Mars falls into the favourable, friendly 9th sign. Some classical Vedic sources are ambiguous and speak of a negative influence. Sagittarius is a friendly sign and the house of good fortune, but lustful, active, passionate Mars, falling into the affairs of the 9th sign, may bring it about that the person brings into spiritual organisations the energy of sex and dissipation. There may be injuries, blows, problems with the joints of the legs, the lower back, rashes on the legs. But this is in a person of low vibrations.
Leadership and organisational abilities, spiritually aspiring, a strong goal reflex. In other respects the placement is good, especially if the person sets goals correctly and attains them; Mars gives him strength. Besides that, Mars is close to Capricorn, the point of its exaltation, and gives good results in terms of public activity, especially in the upachaya houses.
