MARS AS A KILLER

[Guest guest]

The planet that has Agni or fire as its chief or main trait. The

word Agni should be taken in its broadest sense, so as to include

not only the phsical fire, wheather the cooking fire, the lightening

fire in the form of the sun, that of the burning coal in the

furnace, or in the killn or , the electricity in heating apparatus,

but also the fire of AMBITION, the fire of DIGESTION, etc.

The journey of the rockets to the planet Mars has given proof of

the fact the colour of the planet is red. This is exactly the clour

alloted by the astrology to Mars.

The red colour is one of VIOLENCE owned and patronised by those they

have the colour of their flag as RED, the name of their flag as the

red flag, the name of their renowned spots as the red square, the

name of their propaganda machine as the red star and so on.

The science of symbology has linked the colour red with ambition

and active pursuits. The GOD ALMIGHTY has created this universe with

a snigle matter that remains for ever, but in three states of red,

wihte, and black. The red stands for ACTIVITY AND AMBITION. The

wihte for HARMONY, and black for LAZINESS. The same idea of three

gunas is expressed by the yoga shastra by giving the names PRAKASH

i.e light to the white, KRIYA or activity to the red the RAJAS and

STHITI. Inertia to the black or the TAMAS. In short the planet Mars

stands for te RAJAS guna and all that it means as explained above.

By its very striking red colour the planet Mars is in the sky

like the hump of a bull, just as a bull is distinguished from the

cows and oth females by virtue of its hump, in the same manner the

plnet Mars in th sky is conspicuous by its red colour.

Mars is a male factro and acts to women like the seed of a man.

This satement of the veda is again pregnant with great meaning which

has been elaborated by the astrological shastra. Mars by its action

on moon is the cause of the monthly course in women on earth. This

shows how Mars is instrumental in making a woman capable of

conceiving.

We may illustrate the KILLING nature of the cruel Mars by the

birth chart of ABRAHAM LINCOLN president of America.

Sun+murcury in legna Aquarius

jupiter+venus in 2nd house pices

Ketu in 3rd house aries

Mars+Rahu yuti in 9th house libra.

Saturn in 10th house scorpio

Moon in 12th house capricorn

The historic fact of the assasination of the American president is

illustrated by the influance of Mars and ketu on the factors

denoting the mode of death, viz. the 1st and the 8th housed of the

birth chart and their lords. It would be recalled that Rahu n Ketu---

- the shadowy planets have the 5th and 9th aspect like jupiter.

Keeping this principle of Maharshai Parashar in view, we would

observe that Rahu is fully aspecting i.e throwing its influence on

the ascendant by its 5th aspect, and doing so throws on the lagna

the killing effects of Mars with which it is located as a shadowy

planet. Now carfully mark the fact that Murcury who si thus under

the influence of Mars through Rahu is the lord of the 8th house from

the ascendant. Hence the said influence of Mars ont the ascendant

and the lord of the 8th house denotes death through violence.

Again Mark the fact that the sun, too, is under the killing

influence of Mars, and since the sun is the lord of the 8th house

from chandra lagna, it also denotes the same event i.e. death by

violence. Once again mark the fact that Ketu is aspecting full with

5th aspect the 7th hose of the horoscope. This house being 8th form

the chendra lagna, by affliction through Ketu also denotes death

through violence. Like Rahu, Ketu too is influenced by Mars and

hence there is on the 8th house from the Moon not only the influence

of ketu but also of Mars. Mars and Ketu being equally cruel and

violent there is double killing influence on the said house. Thus

both the 8th house from the moon and its lord are under the violent

influence of Mars and Ketu.

Jupiter and Venus aspecting the 8th house of the birth chart

seem, prima facie, to act against a violent end, but wait and note

that Venus is the lord of the sign occupied by the Mars and as such

is acting as Mars. As regars Jupiter, he too is here a violent

planet. How? because his moola trikona positive sign---- sagittarius

falls in the 11th house----- which house being 6th to 6th (bhavat

bhavam) acts as the 6th house--- the house of injury and violence.

Jupiter, too , is thus acting as a violent plaet. In short , we see

how Mars, augmented by Ketu and other factors of violence , brought

about death by assasination. Mars is in this manner a great killer.
