  • Courage and warrior spirit
  • Athletic ability
  • Property and land gains
  • Leadership in tough situations
  • Technical / engineering skill
  • Strong willpower

When Mars is afflicted

  • Anger and impulsivity
  • Accidents, cuts, burns
  • Blood pressure issues
  • Manglik Dosha (marital delays)
  • Aggression, conflict
  • Skin inflammation

Remedies for Mars

  1. Chant Om Angarakaya Namaha (108× on Tuesdays)
  2. Recite Hanuman Chalisa daily
  3. Fast on Tuesdays
  4. Wear red coral set in copper (after Kundli check)
  5. Donate red items (masoor dal, red cloth) on Tuesdays
