Mars in the 1st House

Tanu Bhav — self, body, personality

Favourable Results

The native (the person whose chart it is) is valorous like a lion, agile, fond of wandering, sharp in temperament, fearless, and proud. He has a firm, strong body, is free of disease, and is long-lived. He succeeds in fields such as sports, the army, and the police. Such a native is noble, and he never forgets a kindness or an honest deed done to him. He is renowned and wins honour from the government and the like. If the native is male, he is sure to have brothers; and if he is himself the eldest brother, he is master of a fortune that always defeats his enemies. He profits in the company of relatives of his own age (especially an uncle, a nephew, and the like). If Mangala (Mars) is retrograde (vakri), he is handsome. A Mangala placed in an exalted sign (ucca rashi), or a benefic Mangala, makes him wealthy, learned, a surgeon, or an engineer. If he is an ascetic (tapasvi), the curse he pronounces never goes in vain.

Unfavourable Results

The native is ugly, sickly, a liar, devoid of wealth, and given to consorting with other men's wives. His mind stays filled with confusion and torment. He is a tale-bearer and quarrelsome, and the habit of living off others ruins him. He suffers injury from weapons such as iron, the staff, and the bullet, and his body bears wounds. He is afflicted by diseases of the head, the eyes, the abdomen, and the teeth, by disorders of the blood, by boils, and the like. In life, obstacles generally arise before any undertaking can be accomplished. He has to stay apart from his wife, his sons, and the like, or else his wife suffers bodily affliction. If the native is wicked and sinful, he may even remain without progeny.
