“Action is greater than inaction.
Perform therefore thy task in life.
Even the life of the body
could not be if there were no action.”
–Bhagavad Gita 3.8
How do we express our energy when we want to achieve or manifest something? This is a matter for Mars. Mars provides us with the courage and desire to express our enthusiasm, talents and passion. Through Mars we can assert our individuality and our adventurous spirit.
When Mars associates with malefic planets (when he is in bad company) he becomes selfish and can assert himself at the expense of others. He may become aggressive and violent. Mars is the main planet responsible for accidents, conflicts and wars.
When Mars associates with benefic planets (when he is in good company) he can be a true warrior. He may defend, support and be an advocate for others. Mars can be a planet of integrity guided by honor and valor.
Mars has rulership over knives and sharp instruments. Such tools can be used for good, but they also have the potential for violence. When Mars associates with mental planets, such as Mercury or Moon, the mind becomes sharp, quick, and insightful. However, his association with these planets can also result in impatience and rudeness.
Mars gives us technical knowledge. He uses logic and strategy. He also rules our muscles and gives physical prowess.
Mars relates to brothers, siblings and comrades. Early in life, Mars may teach us to stand up for ourselves through relationships with our siblings. Reflecting the quality of Mars, siblings can be competitive, but may also defend and support one another.
On a physical level, Mars governs the blood and muscles. Wearing a gemstone for Mars is beneficial when one is anemic and can aid in building muscle mass. A strong Mars is good for the reproductive system, especially for men.
Mars provides us with energy and assertiveness. This planet is sharp and gives intelligence and insight. A positive Mars brings out our determination and motivation.
Mars is a warrior and it is of benefit to wear gems for Mars when we want to increase courage, independence and a willingness to fight for what is right. Gems for Mars assist our determination to follow a spiritual path and to apply spiritual techniques, especially ones that are physical, such as Hatha yoga. They are also an aid in self-inquiry. Mars can penetrate the surface in its quest for acquiring true knowledge.
Please note that every planet has positive and negative qualities. Mars is a malefic planet and can cause harm if it is not well placed in your chart. It is important to determine if a gemstone for Mars is of benefit to you. Have your birth chart analyzed by a Vedic astrologer before you decide on a gemstone.
