Hello and welcome. In this one we'll speak a bit about Mars planet in your chart
which is retrograde in your natal chart and in your Navamsa chart as well.
Because natal signifies the tree and Navamsa signifies the fruit of what
it's going to yield later on in life post 36 years of age right that's the
principle. So we will study about Mars retrograde with two powerful women's
chart natal and Navamsa in the case study in this video. First of all just to
recap what is a retrograde planet. Remember Sun and Moon can never be
retrograde as a principle of astrology and Rahu and Ketu the North and the South
node of the moon are always retrograde so wherever they associate with even with
Sun and Moon they try to push them back that's why they are animical to Sun and
Moon. Okay so retrograde as a principle in astrology signifies the overdrive of a
planet and its energies. So you're trying to compensate the soul is trying to
overcompensate the signification of that planet which planets can go
retrograde well all of the rest of them right right from Mercury to Venus to
Mars to Jupiter and Saturn all of these planets can go retrograde except Sun and
Moon and Rahu and Ketu everything can go retrograde so we're covering that also
in our retrograde playlist. Mars retrograde signifies overindulgence in the
house matters means wherever Mars is placed if it first house the person
will be overindulgent in general in all areas of life if it is third house it is
in matters of skill if it's second house it will show it towards the family and
so on. So excessive action and drive because Mars is action and Mars is
drive to accomplish something Mars is an action oriented planet it doesn't like
to sit around Mars excessive care of body and health why do I say that Mars is
the significator of the ascendant the body so it rules just about everything
excessively taking care of body going to gym going to yoga going through this and
that Mars retrograde can also do that. Third point Mars retrograde has effects
in the house it sits in as well as third place from its position of course
Mars is the seventh aspect the fourth aspect and the eighth aspect as well but
we're not covering that here we're just looking at one fundamental
signification of Mars as a retrograde planet which has effects in the house
in which it sits as well as third place from its position counting Mars as the
first place and then counting three right Mars plus one plus two
the third place. Okay let's take the case study now of a politician in Tamil Nadu
state in India who's no more with us Jaya Lalita one as a case study let's
analyze her natal chart and the nakshatra and the namaamshah of Jaya Lalita
so this one is Jaya Lalita's natal chart in which Mars retrograde was placed in
Maga nakshatra in the third position she's a Gemini ascendant was a Gemini
ascendant in punarvasu nakshatra if you remember the significations of punarvasu
nakshatra the basic theme was winning second time so she failed a lot of times
as a politician but she kept reinventing herself and then succeeded
eventually to become one of the most popular leaders of that state in India
she was the chief minister for many years so that's the basic theme of punarvasu
itself right now Mars is placed retrograde in the third house first of
all the third house Mars is strong and in Leo because Shara ascendant is Gemini
number three number four number five right there did have space for anything
else stuck in there Mars retrograde was there what did it provide her Mars
third house retrograde in natal intense mental energy with Mars retrograde in the
third house mental energy is intense focuses skills keen intellect wanting to
overcompensate to there'll be an old drive to refine skills this lady was first
an actor in Tamil cinema and she was a good one at that first to refine the
skills in her acting perhaps obsessive thoughts in communication Mars can lead
to obsessive thoughts of communication patterns in the third place third house
become fixated on certain ideas making challenging to let go of mental
preoccupation third house is the house of skills right so first it amplifies
the overdrive of Mars in that house if it's Mars is retrograde might engage in
debates and arguments with great passion communication style can be assertive
aggressive confrontational all of these qualities if you look at them make for a
very good politician she was a great debater even in the local parliament of
us in her state personal style and looks intense focus on personal style
remember Mars is a significator of physical appearance like I said
appearance well groomed she's always meticulous about her clothing hair style
after all she was an actor and a very popular one before she became a
politician may engage in rigorous fitness routines dietary practices to maintain
a desirable physical appearance this was when she was having a career as an actor
active lifestyle natural active inclination for sports physical
activities third house hands-on skills with the body Mars I'm not sure whether
she was into sports or not this indicates that of course it's in my
Anakshatra so she will look for leadership Leo sign of Leo Mars is
exalted in the sign of Leo but Mars itself is retrograde I'm just running
through the commentary here aggressive approach to younger relationships and
peers third house is the house of peers and also for younger siblings so that
may be also happening with her not sure now third place from Mars counting
starting from Mars one two three would be the fifth house in a chart so it looks
at this fifth house and Mars retrograde kind of brings that aspect over here
intense creativity she was an actor in the beginning years of her career
creative expressionist backed by intense passion drive approach to artistic
endeavors guess what she was an actor self expression with strong sense of
determination and enthusiasm for hobbies leisurely activities great vigor and
determination and competitive spirit all of these are needed for a successful
actor assertive self expression this came into even her political life
assertive in communicating thoughts and feelings Mars is an assertive planet and
if it's retrograde more so just check your chart can be powerful tool in
self expression artistic pursuits intense romantic passion fifth house is the
house of romance not sure how many affairs she had or whom she had love
life with but approach to romantic relationships is marked with passion and
intensity Mars is over amplified the soul is trying to compensate for the
energy of Mars look at it that way that will simplify the whole approach to
understanding this of course you are taking the ascendant nakshatra Mars
nakshatra themes if you want to go that direction and if you want to take the
cusp of the ascendant and how is playing out in the third house as well as the
fifth house those will be going into details but let's now get into another
lady called alien durek she was the first woman naval officer decorated in the
u.s. long ago not about second world war I think let's get into her chart and see
how Mars retrograde played out for her she was also a powerful woman okay before
that I just missed this point Navamsa of Jaya Ritha and Mars in the first house
itself in areas Mars is in his own sign ascendant was a shwini very fast
mowing nakshatra so the name of the first house how did Mars retrograde
play out for her with Mars retrograde in the first house she had an intense
personal energy drive aggression post 36 years of age probably that's when she
shifted to politics not sure meticulous personal style and appearance
everything is focused on personal style appearance competitive spirit would be
the driving force she was highly competitive and because of the punar
sunakshatra she's failed a number of times first time it succeeded second
time she did not succeed first time all the other politicians made fun of her
but she came back with far more aggression and she succeeded competitive
spirit strong leadership quality she was a natural leader challenging in
challenges in managing anger Mars in the first house inherently makes a person
very aggressive okay for anyone forward or Mars going reverse reverse it's even
more it might be challenged for her to manage her anger maybe lashing out a lot
Mars retrograde effect will be in the third place from itself in this case on
the third house itself remember ascendant started from the third house but
Navamsa the same Mars retrograde went into the first house so now it's effect on
the third house very effective communication expression of thoughts
ideas and confidence bordering on aggressiveness
politicians require this especially in India yes already nearly leadership in
local communities see this is what drove her perhaps to become a politician
because Mars is very strong in areas it's his own house so leadership in local
communities neighborhood associations organizations focused on communication
and clarity passionate and a certain nature has made this lady a formidable
debater she spoke with the aggressor in the parliament passionate intellectual
pursuits now not to sure about this I haven't investigated it could be there
competitive with younger siblings in PS second third house younger siblings
second house elder siblings yes frequent short journeys and all the aspects of
Mars I'm pretty fat she took a lot of short journeys in her political career
at least because she had a good campaigning all the time right so as
jail does Navamsa now let's get into an indirect that's the natal chart of
an indirect she was the decorated naval officer the first rare admiral woman in
us so basically this lady was a nurse first and then she was promoted to
the rank of rare admiral which is top rank in naval service
Sagittarius ascendant in poor Vashada in her Mars in a natal chart was retrograde
in the 11th house all about community and third position from that natal Mars
was the ascendant itself so it affected her directly whatever she did for the
community with drive and passion she brought to the first house Mars in
Swathi very individualistic very original thinker type of lady Mars 11th in
the natal intense desire for social engagement she did took care of wounded
soldiers in the army in the services for in the Navy she possesses a strong
desire for social engagement and involvement passion for ideals she
might have been a very passionate lady about her ideals and beliefs being in
the service it becomes very patriotic in nature
displaying competitiveness within group settings I don't know this for
certain but it certainly indicates that passion for social causes if the same
first this lady was a nurse she took care of wounded soldiers so that's the
social cause in itself deeply passionate about social causes of her
times whatever times they live in remember astrology also always has to be
sort of understood in the context of your society your culture your the times
in the living it has to be current we cannot take archaic stories and bring
it down to current date that will be ridiculous deeply passionate about social
causes she may have actively participated in movements groups
organizations to make a positive impact on society 11,000 is Aquarius but this is
like Mars in Aquarius yes although it is in the sign of Libra so it is all about
others very strongly and she would have displayed this as a concern for society
leadership in social circles she may have been assertive and passionate from
birth right up to 36 native right now the effect of this retrograde Mars is
third position comes to the ascendant as which is in poor Vashaka nakshatra
meticulous attention to personal style you may have been one of the spic and
span nurses in the services in the naval services she might have paid a lot of
attention to her style always neat and clean and dressed well all forces are
really people working in the defense forces are usually very well dressed
excessive care for body and health maybe this is what was the inclination for
getting into health line after all she was a nurse in the beginning witness
routines dietary practices maintaining physical appearance and health because
first house is the body Mars retrograde looks at it and becomes very very
cautious and very careful and very observant about their own physical
appearance and health issues okay assertive energetic personality she may
have been very assertive as a child and she also exhibited some leadership
qualities which later helped her define that she became the rare admiral now
what is poor Vashadhavi always good the ascendant nakshatra emotional
enthusiasm is needed to build teams for victory maybe this is the reason why she
was promoted to the rank of rare admiral now let's see her Navamsha Navamsha
ascendant is in Leo leader naturally poor Falguni but the Mars went to the
seventh house the Mars in seventh house typically doesn't do very well because
you start showing aggression towards your partners very passionate highly
sexual in nature because Mars retrograde will provide that but third place looks
at the ninth house and the nakshatra in which Mars is sitting is very interesting
that the Bisha which is a hundred physicians no wonder she was a nurse
nursing a lot of people wounded soldiers Mars in seventh Navamsha assertive in
social settings natural leader in social gathering seeds left seven house
house of Libra and sign of Aquarius once again so it's all about the community
for her she spent her life in community she didn't even get married once because
her whole drive of this Mars was about community she had no other distractions
competitive spirit in relationships she didn't have any relationships because
she is this would not work she's all about community seventh house easily brah and
there is a sign of Aquarius you can't get any more about community than that
right and the third place from that seventh to ninth house in Namshara is in
Aries once again Mars is very good there in Aries passionate pursuit of
knowledge she studied a lot of books in her lifetime approach to learning with
enthusiasm and vigor why because it's a ninth house house of knowledge wisdom
understanding seeking knowledge intellectual pursuits passionate quest
for meaning and purpose we don't know this this lady is passed away a long time
ago but must have been the case if you know something about alien to it can
leave it in the comment box competitive spirit in learning you may learn about
possess a competitive spirit Mars is competition by default yes it rules the
first house and it also takes care of the third house fastest well in the third
house all the Gemini rules a third house Mars first and eight but it does very
well in the third and sixth as well but if it looks at the ninth it'll start
focusing on learning right so this must have what been what dictated the life of
an end you reckon we just taken one planet remember we are not considered
other planets or other aspects any such thing just wanted to give a sample of
how to read the Mars retrograde if you have one in your chart because the same
retrograde planet will go into Navamsha also is retrograde remember that a
retro in planet in natal will go retro in all the other divisional charts and you
have to measure the third place from where it is sitting because that retro
will be focused in that area okay we shall deal with another one in the next
meanwhile decay be safe
