Mars rules Aries and Scorpio. Mrigashira, Chitra and Dhanishtha are the constellations ruled by Mars. On 2nd March, after travelling to 4th quarter of Chitra, it will turn retrograde.

People with exalted Mars and debilitated Mars are source of usual and at times big trouble for the society. Mars produces Mars dosha, which creates havoc in married life if not treated properly. Mars makes a man a warrior by choice and when there is no good reason to fight, the person finds the reason just for the sake of fighting, be it his or her own family or surroundings. Though there are 9 planets and 12 signs and 27 constellations, Mars alone is enough to cause ample damage which other 8 cannot rectify by their summed up powers. Conjunction of Mars with Rahu or Saturn is seen as very bad and we will be witnessing Rahu, Mars and Saturn, all three major malefic planets together in Libra till 14th July 2014.

In India, we are having election festival these days and it is going to continue until lok sabha elections. This is a time for media to make the most of the political environment to gain viewership ratings. The competition is getting harder and harder by the day. The weaker one is being punished just because of lack of money and connections. Twenty crores is not even a percent of a peanut in Indian election these days. There is likely to be a minor accident of a popular politician in this span. Some influential and powerful people may fall sick of a dangerous illness. Natives who are wearing Red coral, Hessonite, Blue sapphire better remove them when Mars meets the other two.
In Virgo, Mars will cross constellations of Sun, Moon, and Mars. And in Libra it will go through Mars, Rahu and Jupiter constellations. Mars will get ample time to roam in his own constellation in 2014. Virgo is a dual, feminine and an earthy sign ruled by Mercury and is its mooltrikona sign. Libra is movable, odd, cruel, masculine and an airy sign. All the three planets, Mars, Mercury and Venus are neutral towards each other.
