- Partial — strongest in the 10th
- Aspects from here

- Its mahadasha
- 7 years
The classical texts warn of friction with the father, teachers or religious authority, and of rash decisions about fortune.
Law, the forces, coaching and leadership in a cause suit it; arguing with elders is the pattern to soften.
Which sign falls in the 9th house depends on the lagna, and the sign changes Mars's strength there. For a Taurus (Vrishabha) lagna this house holds Capricorn (Makara), where Mars is exalted; for a Scorpio (Vrishchika) lagna it holds Cancer (Karka), where it is debilitated. It is the yogakaraka for Cancer (Karka), Leo (Simha) lagna.

Mars mahadasha runs 7 years. This placement speaks most clearly then — in Mars's own mahadasha, in its antardashas inside other mahadashas, and in the dasha of the lord of the 9th house. Saturn's and Jupiter's transits over this house, or over the planet itself, wake it too.
Mars mahadasha: what its 7 years bring · See your own dasha — the dasha calculator
- Chant the Mars mantra: Om Kraam Kreem Kraum Sah Bhaumaya Namah. Sit facing east after sunrise — Tuesday is the strongest day for it. Chant 3 malas a day (324 repetitions), keeping count on a 108-bead mala. Keep it up for 40 days without a break — that completes the traditional 10,000.
- Give a Mars donation. Give red lentils, jaggery, copper on Tuesday, before noon. Offer it to a soldier, sportsperson or younger brother, or to anyone in genuine need. Give quietly, in person, without expecting thanks.
- Daily practice for Mars. Plant a neem tree; be of service to your siblings. Keep it up every day for 40 days — consistency is the remedy.
Make your kundli and open the card for the 9th house: it shows the sign there, where its lord sits and which planets occupy it — so you can see whether Mars really is in this house for you, and in which sign. The row of the table above for your lagna is then yours.
