Mars in the 8th house of a Horoscope: Mission Impossible

Son your Ego is writing checks, your body cant cash! J

What I have observed over the years that Mangal or Mars draws a lot of attention from non-Astro folks. So I thought of
writing down a quick article about Mars effects in all the 12 houses. I will try to cover in a very objective manner
keeping side my creativity (whatever little) aside.

A Horoscope is called as Manglik if Mangal is placed in one of 1, 4, 7, 8, 12 houses; i.e. 5 out 12 people in this world are
Manglik (aprx 42%). It indicates that it is not a big deal then? There are various varieties of Mangal coined by
Astrologers: Kadak Mangal, Soumya Mangal etc! J Mangal with a Soumya planet like Moon or Venus is usually treated as
Soumya. Or Mangal in Gurus drushti is called Soumya. Even the one with Shanis drushti is considered Soumya! So
basically --- All Manglik varieties are Soumya?! J More on that later.

Mars is the governor of: Blood, Siblings, sports, land, vehicles, speed, aggression, adrenaline, The South direction.

Mars in the 8th house of a Horoscope (Moksha/Spiritual Trikon, Inheritance, Mrutyu/Death or rather Ayushya Sthan,
Internal Reprod organs, Kidney)

The 8th house is not in sync with the 1st house; it opposes the 1st house (self) and shows the obstacles, physical pain or
loss of energy. The 8th house is 2nd in spiritual triangle (4 8 12) and shows yoga, alternative medicine, occult,
mysterious stuff or hidden/secretive stuff. It is called as Mrutyu (death) house but is also called as ayushya (life) house,
more than longevity it shows the situation (type/nature etc) at the time of death.

Mars in the 8th house is troublesome to self. These folks write cheques their body cant cash! J They are known to do
stuff beyond their physical limits. Mission impossible hero Ethan Hunt is the best example of the 8th house Mars. It is
obvious that these folks drive bikes & cars VERY fast they tend to know the bike/car limits instinctively but rest of the
folks dont! J It is a stupidity to give them even a bicycle in their childhood be prepared to attend them anytime! Yes,
Jupiter drushti on this Mars makes it much tolerable as Jupiter allows them to do all these things with calculated risks
and know exact limits of these things. Multiple marks on their face (teeth, eyes, eyebrows, nose) are very common due
to childhood activities. Yes, this excess energy tends to get channeled better from the age of say 28/29 etc for guys and
say 24/25 for girls. Saturn movement on this Mars or opposite (or even 4th) to this Mars teaches them very valuable
lessons not to take matters beyond a certain limit. If this signal is ignored -- the repercussions are far more serious (loss
of a finger, broken legs or even permanent damage affecting quality of life) of course this Mangal needs to be too
much of a badly placed in order for this to happen and even then there are so many social / family values etc pulls to
keep folks away from this.

There is an excess energy in these folks which is for everyone to see. They seem not to get tired, they are but they do
not think that way and continue to put in efforts with the same vigor. They do go through periods of excess hard-work
and then recuperation by over-sleeping/resting. The 8th house does give Sinusoidal wave of energy dissipation. A High
peak followed by a high valley. Their sports career or overall career also seem to have the same pattern of periods of
tremendous hard work followed by periods of Business-As-Usual. They can accelerate any time they want & also again
go to cruise control when they think so. It is VERY VERY difficult to brand them or to predict them with accuracy!

They speak very fast unless Mars is in a fixed sign and also their speech is not clear in childhood. It takes time for them
to say R! J Sanskrit shlokas can really clear their speech/tongue. Eating habits are usually irregular and they like to eat
spicy stuff. Eating at some shabby joints is quite likely (tapari stuff) as the 8th house does shows such hidden or not very
well known places. These are the folks who suggest that certain place has very good wada-paav or Misal that not many
people are aware! J

This Mars of course shows karmic obligation towards siblings (all kinds including cousins) and they usually tend to be
elder ones in the family in their generation or have to act like one. It also shows some bad land related karma in the
family. This karma if bad could cause blood related issues in the family to make you spend exactly the equivalent
amount the family gained due to land stuff. Kidney failures, piles or any kind of blood issues indicate such stuff. Karmic
healing works wonder for any 8 or 12 house planets. Donating blood, land(!) to No Profit Organization works wonders.
Donations to blood cancer research institutes, helping cousins, siblings also wonderful. Needless to say gym/regular
walk/running is a must to keep blood circulation regular as 8th house does show irregular stuff for sure. (Bachchan
Sahab is an example of 8th Mars -- The accident happened when Saturn was going over Mars and other planets in the
8th house)

There are Countless examples from my childhood where I jumped from 3/4th floor into construction sand or went to an
apartment on 3rd floor from other apartment gallery and so on; broken teeth due to Kabbadi (Trying to get hold of
Harkesh Singh) a scar still on my lips (a stitch that came out); stitches in my head (no kidding HEAD the noise that
reverberates in your head when they put stitch in head is amazing to say the least!) J Trying to walk on the walls of
adjacent building wall (Chandranagar in Nashik) full of glass pieces specially put for me! J (Spending hours on tamarind
trees and taking pride in climbing any kind of tree!) Knowingly running in to a tree full of thorns to take a catch (3 balls
5 runs you got to attempt that catch!) J Trying to take a VERY fast turn on sand (bicyclecountless injuries on knees);
Broken arm at the age of 4/5 etc
