Mars – The Negative Side
On the negative side, it is impatient, impulsive, and quarrelsome. An
afflicted and weak Mars indicates that the native lacks the necessary positive
skills and fails to rise high. The person will use his strength to fulfill his
desires and can go to any extent. Irrespective of how many fingers are burnt,
the fulfilment of desire is important for him, and if the person is running on
the Mahadasha of Mars, then dangerous consequences can be possible, as he is
not ready to give up his desire under any circumstances.
An afflicted Mars indicates that the native tends to lose his temper
easily and, without a second thought, begins to verbally abuse others. Such an
individual possesses a quarrelsome nature and remains ready to pick a fight
over even the most trivial matters. Such people lack listening skills and are
more interested in talking incessantly. For instance, people are prepared to
engage in a street fight over something as minor as a small scratch on their
car.
The afflicted Mars does not like differences of opinion with anyone. The
native argues in vain; instead of giving any intelligent argument, he prefers
to use abuses and force and feels the joy of winning the argument (battle).
These natives are perpetually ready to fight, regardless of the issue at hand.
This impulsive and combative temperament signifies that Mars occupies a weak
position in the horoscope.
While a strong Mars signifies an individual endowed with immense courage,
endurance, and zeal. Rather than becoming entangled in petty troubles and
disputes, a strong Mars grants a person the mental fortitude and self-control
needed to rise above trivial matters and focus their energy on achieving major
goals.
An afflicted Mars indicates that a person may be prone to a quick temper.
Those unable to control their anger and impulses often inadvertently harm their
goals, damage their relationships, and derail their life trajectory and
outcome. Constant entanglement in various disputes and conflicts creates a distance
from success in life, as a strong Mars is essential for achieving success. A
strong Mars transforms desires into action, whereas a weak Mars can lead to
procrastination, a fear of moving forward, and an unwillingness to take risks.
