Saturn and Mars

Dear Readers,

Saturn or Mars planets are most probably the most feared planets. They are natural malefics in a chart. Why do people fear these planets?

Fear arises due to lack of knowledge. If one spends time in understanding these two planets, one will stop fearing these planets and instead will wait for these planets to bestow their grace on the native.

Some might think, I am crazy, but wait, lets take a bit of time to understand these planets.

Just take a 50,000 Sq Ft view of these planets and their rulership in a Kalpurush chart. Kal prush chart is nothing but a chart who's lagna is Aries.


Mars is given the lord ship of the 1st house and 8th house and Saturn is given the lordship of 10th and 11th house.

The 1st house, is the most important house in the chart and that depicts SELF. The 8th house is both the beginning and ending of life.

Saturn on the other hand rules 10th and 11th house. 10th house is the highest point in the chart and it denotes Profession of the native and 11th house is that of Success of the native. Saturn rules upchay sthan of the house of growth, heap and prosperity of the Lagna.

Now, take a few minutes to think about what I wrote above. The 1st house and 10th house are very important house. 1st house is that of Dharma, 10th house is that of Artha, 11th house is that of Kama, and 8th house is that of Moksh. So these two planets are rule all 4 pillars of a life and these being Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksh.

If a persons 1st house, 10th house, 8th house and 11th house are spoiled, then one can only imagine what would become of the native. If these two planets are spoilt in the chart, then the four pillars of life get disturbed and a person will not be able to do any work nor will get any success and that would affect his confidence and individuality.

Now, if these planets become powerful in a chart then the status of the entire chart will go up and its only people with strong Mars and Saturn who will leave a mark or will be capable to take on huge endeavors or can do big and amazing things in life.

Just think about it, 1st house is for SELF, 8th house is for Individuality, 10th house is for Profession and Karma and 11th is to achieve success.

So, does this make you sit back and think about the power that these two natural malefic planets have.

This will also make one think about the portfolio of the planetary cabinet as well. Why is it that the Maharishis allocate the most important house to these Natural Malefics? What was the purpose of it?

To understand this question, lets start to delve deeper and study them as Karak planets......
