Please check this introductory article to understand the theme and purpose behind this series - https://www.astrosaxena.com/articles/NewSeries-PlanetsasJaiminiKarakas-IntroductoryArticle


Let’s cover this article under following points -


Mars – Mars represents our will power, courage, ability to take actions, aggressive nature, anger, our fighting ability, brother, male friends, a boyfriend for a girl, a soldier, an athlete and real estate etc. Basically, Mars represents actions/efforts, and wherever it transits, we start or we should start taking actions in that area of life.


Amatya Karaka - It is planet with the 2nd highest degree. It is known as Amatya Karaka or support to Soul Significator. Amatya means Minister, who helps the King (Atma Karaka). So, this planet and its position in chart will indicate towards things which will help you in finding your destination or life purpose. So, it is a drive up to destination. Amatya Karaka normally helps us in finding the right life path.


Results of Mars as Amatya Karaka - As I see, following results can be prominent when Mars becomes someone’s Amatya Karaka -


1.Mars is a planet of dominance, control, will power and strength. Hence, professions related with these traits like Soldier, Police Officer, Sports Person, Lawyer or any profession where we are supposed to protect or safeguard others are ideal professions as per Mars.


2.So, when someone has Mars as Amatya Karaka, it shows that person can be involved in any of the above activities of protecting and safeguarding others by which he gets to his destination which is represented by Atma Karaka. Now, there can be confusion as to what is difference between Mars as Atma Karaka and Mars as Amatya Karaka if person needs to become a Protector anyhow?
It can be understood through this example -


a.Suppose someone has Jupiter as Atma Karaka and Mars as Amatya Karaka. Then person needs to reach a position of Guru or Guide and his will power, courage and protective ability will become the way to reach that position. So, it creates someone like a Motivational Speaker.


b.Then suppose someone has Mars as Atma Karaka and Jupiter as Amatya Karaka. In this case, person needs to reach a position of Protector and hisknowledge will become the way to reach that position. So, it creates someone like a Lawyer or Activist or even Sports Coach.


3.It is also a guidance that person can be good at any work of protecting, safeguarding etc. So, they can work as Lawyer, Activist, Army Person, Police Person or in Security Agencies etc.


4.As Mars also represents Sports Person or Athlete, they can also be interested in being a Sports Person. Basically, Mars represents our competitive nature. So, any activity, which involves lots of competitiveness, can be treated as a Martian activity which can help a person as Amatya Karaka in finding his destination in life represented by Atma Karaka.


5.It also shows that someone can be in works related with Land, Real Estate and Construction etc as Mars represents these things too.


6.Now, whichever house Mars rules in your chart through Aries and Scorpio signs, those houses would also indicate possible activities which can help in reaching destination in life . It also shows that who all will be helpful in achieving the target.


7.Then in whichever house/sign Mars sits in chart, that shows in which area or direction of life that Martian activity will be exhibited. Like, for a Capricorn ascendant, if Mars is in 4th house/Aries then native can be protector or defender of home land. But for Libra ascendant person, if Mars is placed in 3rd house/Sagittarius then person can be protector or defender as Lawyer or Activist as Sagittarius represents Law and belief system.


8. If any planet is conjunct with Mars then it adds its own flavor of things/representations which can bring authority to person.


Dignity - Dignity of Mars would indicate if the native will attain the purpose of Mars as Atma Karaka early in life or with delays in life. He will attain it easily or with difficulties. If Mars is in good dignity with impacts of benefic planets then it may indicate that person may find his destination easily or in early life itself whereas if Mars is losing dignity or impact of malefic planets are there on Mars then person may find his destination in later life. Mars dignity and strength also indicates the kind of support the native may get from Brother or Male Friends in finding his destination in life.


Final conclusion would depend on overall analysis of chart with lots of other factors along with Mars’s position.


Hope this helps. Thanks,
