Like, if Mars is ruling 3rd house then it shows that person’s youger sibling can become a partner in business related with real estate.


9.Then in whichever house/sign Mars sits in chart, that shows in which area or direction of life that Martian activity will be exhibited. Mars (Dara Karaka) position in any house will show that which area of life the native would like to put efforts in order to manifest results of Mars as Darakaraka. Like, for a Scorpio ascendant, if Mars is in 5th house/Pisces then native may like to have love marriage kind of scenario. It also represents someone who is very active in meditation along with their partner. But for Taurus ascendant person, if Mars is placed in 4th house/Leo then person can get into property related business along with their partner.


10. If any planet is conjunct with Mars then it adds its own flavor of things/representations which can add to Martian results. Also, it is the dignity of Mars which will decide whether person will either be protective or dominating towards partner.


Dignity - Dignity of Mars would indicate if the native will attain the purpose of Mars as Dara 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 manifest aforementioned results 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 the same results in later life. Mars dignity and strength also indicates the kind of support the native may get from Brother or Male Friends in manifesting these results.


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