Astro Vedica on Mars

You all know that Mars is comingto its closest approximation to the Earth, ever, on August 27th.Astro Vedica on Mars-" Next in our line of planetary consideration is Mars. Mars is a planet of warrior caste as is the Sun. In fact, Mars was the Roman God of War. Actually, Mars is Kartikeya in the Vedic scheme, the commander-in-chief of the demigods. There are stories in the Puranas about how Karttikeya defends the demigods against a group of materialists known as Daityas.As a fiery warrior planet, Mars imparts energy, resistence, courage, anger and a fiery temperment.The ability to challenge is naturally communicated by the Martian element. The military and weapons such as artillery, spears, rifles, and explosives are indicated by Mars as well as any sharp, pointed weapons.When the Martian fire is well channelled and sublimated- basically by good house position, sign position, good association or aspects- this planet's influence can be positive. When this type of Mars is prominent in a chart, one will go forward in life, in whatever sphere, with energy, fight and resistence. Such Martian influence will make a person constructive. But an unbridled Mars, maybe in a negative house or sign, or in association with a planet such as Saturn, can see a person engaged in an aggressive, touchy, course and or even destructive mode. Work as a butcher is representative of Martian energy which has not been sublimated.Mars is a natural indicator of various important aspects of life. For example, Vira or strength is indicated by Mars. People with a prominent Mars in their horoscope would have good muscular development. Mars is the Bhratru-karaka, or the natural indicator of brothers and sisters. To have brothers is considered a source of strength for an individual, so they are naturally indicated by Mars. Included in this classification would be not only brothers, but all types of collaterals. Bhoomi-karaka is another name of Mars; it means that Mars is the karaka for lands and properties, such as buildings. A typical Martian occupation would be military service. But any type of work with heat and fire, such as working in kitchens, boiler rooms, factories, or fire fighting would be Martian. Mars is a planet of logical nature, so occupations involving mathematics, such as engineering and science, could be due to principally Mars." http://www.hiddenmysteries.com/delucia/index.html
