Nature

Natural malefic: cutting, fiery, tamasic in classical listing — the energy of the soldier and the surgeon. Its friction builds courage, protection and decisive skill when given honest work.

Significations (karakatvas)

Karaka of strength and courage: brothers and siblings, land and property, engineering and weapons, surgery, athletics, commanders, blood and muscle, logical drive. Where Mars stands, you fight, build or defend.

भाव फल · Maṅgala through the 12 houses

Maṅgala in the 1st house (तनु भाव)

Tanu Bhāva

A warrior's constitution: energy, directness and athletic drive define the person; the practice is patience — power under command. (A classical mangala-dosha seat: see the dosha note in _meta of this corpus — always read with its cancellations.)

Maṅgala in the 2nd house (धन भाव)

Dhana Bhāva

Forceful speech and boldly pursued wealth; the tongue can cut. Trained, it becomes decisive counsel and courage to earn on one's own terms.

Maṅgala in the 3rd house (सहज भाव)

Sahaja Bhāva

Mars in its natural terrain of courage: initiative, technical skill, prowess in competition and enterprise; the classic seat of the self-made effort.

Maṅgala in the 4th house (बन्धु भाव)

Bandhu/Sukha Bhāva

Fire under the hearth: drive around property, vehicles and family matters; energy at home needs a constructive outlet — renovation, protection, training — and then it fortifies the base. (Classical mangala-dosha seat; read with cancellations.)

Maṅgala in the 5th house (पुत्र भाव)

Putra Bhāva

Passionate intelligence: sharp strategy, sporting and speculative flair, dynamic engagement with children and creative risk.

Maṅgala in the 6th house (अरि भाव)

Ari/Ripu Bhāva

The general in the sixth: classical strength — enemies, debts and diseases are met and defeated; formidable capacity for disciplined work and competition.

Maṅgala in the 7th house (युवति भाव)

Yuvatī/Kalatra Bhāva

Heat in partnership: attraction to strong, independent partners and spirited dealings; the art is turning sparring into teamwork. (The principal mangala-dosha seat — and the one most hedged by cancellations; never read alone.)

Maṅgala in the 8th house (रन्ध्र भाव)

Randhra/Āyu Bhāva

The surgeon's Mars: penetrating research, crisis competence and transformative courage; energy is guarded by prudence with risks, and depth-work becomes its best arena. (Classical mangala-dosha seat; read with cancellations.)

Maṅgala in the 9th house (धर्म भाव)

Dharma/Bhāgya Bhāva

The dharma warrior: conviction defended with energy, adventurous journeys, a spirited relationship with teachers and doctrine — faith with muscle.

Maṅgala in the 10th house (कर्म भाव)

Karma Bhāva

Digbala — Mars's directional strength: ambition lands; command roles, engineering, athletics and enterprise flourish through sheer executed effort.

Maṅgala in the 11th house (लाभ भाव)

Lābha Bhāva

Gains seized: energetic networks, income through bold ventures and competition; ambitious friends and goals that yield to sustained assault.

Maṅgala in the 12th house (व्यय भाव)

Vyaya Bhāva

The hidden fire: energy for foreign ventures, ashrams, hospitals and behind-the-scenes work; unexpressed, it frets — given discipline (sadhana, service, training), it liberates. (Classical mangala-dosha seat; read with cancellations.)
