It is generally seen that a strong Mars will give a good result with respect to above-mentioned significations while a weak Mars represents the deficiency of the same.
Other Astrological Considerations:
Mangal own two signs namely Mesha and Vrischik. It is deeply exalted at 28 degrees Makara (Capricorn) and deeply debilitated at 28 degrees Karkata(Cancer). Its Mooltrikona Rashi is Mesha(Aries).
Namaste Arvind,
A great post. It is of interest, Mangala is the owner of the natural 8th house, scorpio, that of Moksha ( 4th 8th, 12th); Mar's is the Commander and Chief, He is Skanda. He is also known as Hanumanji. He is that of agni and that of this earth.
It is also worth noting that Managala co-lords Scorpio with Ketu. This ketu is the karaka of moksha... very interesting. As this begins to unfold why Surya is exalted in Aries ( A Mars house, yes?) and the Nakshatra of Ketu, the mokshakaraka...and Surya in Aries is still in the northern path, it is all starting to fill in.
As ketu owns the 1st Nakshatra of Aries (mesha), and Ketu is the Moksha-Karaka. It is most natural for Surya (Atma-karka) to be exalted in the first natual rasi , and in the postion of the Moksha's home ketu...
That is, the Atma is exalted in Moksha... this is your answer to Surya's exaltation.
This is the brilliance of Jyotish. The reason's behind the exaltations and debilitations, all with purpose...as with Moolatrikona, that is, a postion where the graha does his expected work the best.
You have fun at home, you rejoice being at home , you are exalted. Surya is exalted as Atmakaraka in Aires, joyful of being in Moksha.
In the Moolatrikona rasi , it is now back to business, like you perhaps going to your office and doing your business. Surya then does this too, as all the other graha's go 'to their office' to do what is expected of them in thier influence. Like that , this is a easy way to consider these postions.
Mangala is auspicious in Jyotish, and is courage of the Kshatriya, yes? Kshtriya's protect, this Mars of courage is for protection and defense. Hense Hanumanji and Skanda-ji.
