In the previous write-up, Part 1,  we read about the results of Mars in different houses within the horoscope. Now, let us expand on the concept by looking at each house that Mars is placed in, separately. 

The first house, or Lagna of the chart defines one’s personality and character. From this position the personality of the person, his form, physical strength, immunity, his will, his sense of aspiration and greed can be studied. In this place, Mars, in his own house or either Aries or Scorpio, or exalted, in its sign of Capricorn can give good qualities to that person. Such a person will exhibit qualities of courage,  enthusiasm, self-confidence, self-respect, and physical strength. On the other hand, if the Martian energy in this house gets afflicted, then  the same energy can make an individual aggressive, extremist, reckless and arrogant. It might also make the person critical of others and such a person can also turn out to be extremely stubborn.

From the first house, Mars energy directly impacts the 4th, 7th and 8th houses in the chart, thus directly impacting family well-being, physical happiness and financial well-being - in either the positive or a negative manner.

Mars is fiery in nature resembling the fire element and is especially conducive for the male persona. In the modern day,  if the nature of the spouse is not complementary, then the person with mars in the first house can be seen taking or undertakes very bold initiatives to fulfill their own aspirations. In the case of women, while women were confined within the four walls of the house, qualities of  bravery, courage and aggression were of no use. But in the modern-day society, where women are working shoulder to shoulder with men, these qualities are understood in the right perspective and appreciated, not just by her family, but her spouse and even the society in general. 

Mars, in lagna, while in its major Dasha or antardasha or in gochar, or under the impact of other plants, can  cause panic, brain disorders, eye injuries, chiropractic symptoms, weight loss, blood disorders and so on. The impact of Martian energy should also be seen from its nakshatra placement and the placement of the lord of the house, Mars sits in. For example, if Mars sits in the first house of Taurus, then the position of Venus, and the nakshatra placement of both Mars and Venus should be taken into account.

 Some examples of people with Mars in the first house within the horoscope are - Prime Minister Shri. Narendra Modi and actor Ranbir Kapoor.
