Aspects from the 7th house

Mars's glance falls on:

• the 1st house by its 7th aspect: it adds drive, and at times friction, to self and body; that house is Pisces, ruled by Jupiter, so compassion is what it touches.

• the 2nd house by its 8th aspect: it pushes wealth, family and speech into action; that house is Aries, ruled by Mars, so speed is what it touches.

• the 10th house by its 4th aspect: it energises career and status; that house is Sagittarius, ruled by Jupiter, so optimism is what it touches.

Which nakshatra: Virgo in parts

Virgo spans parts of 3 nakshatras, and the one Mars occupies adds its lord's agenda for Pisces rising:

• 0°–10° Virgo: Uttara Phalguni, ruled by the Sun, lord of the 6th here, which brings work, health and rivals into it; in love it seeks a committed, contractual partnership and keeps its word.

• 10°–23°20′ Virgo: Hasta, ruled by the Moon, lord of the 5th here, which brings children, intelligence and romance into it; for work it points to crafts, healing hands, writing, accounting and trade.

• 23°20′–30° Virgo: Chitra, Mars's own nakshatra, which concentrates the placement; its gift is the eye of a maker, its shadow vanity and perfectionism.

Love and marriage

In the 7th Mars gives a passionate, energetic or assertive partner and strong attraction; the marriage is lively, and agreeing on how to argue is as important as agreeing on what to do. More generally, Mars adds passion, protectiveness and impatience: attraction is quick and strong, and anger must not become the language of the relationship. The 2nd lordship links it with kutumba, the family unit, which classical texts read alongside the 7th for married life. The 7th lord for Pisces rising is Mercury, and Mars is a natural enemy of it, so their agendas can pull in different directions. Mars in the 7th counts for Mangal dosha in the usual lists; it is always cross-checked from the Moon and Venus and against the partner's chart, and on its own it never decides a match. Virgo holds the 7th for this ascendant, so Mercury's strength shapes the marriage too.

Career and money

Mars in the 7th favours business and partnerships with energetic people, but deals need clear contracts to avoid disputes. Typical careers for Mars, more widely: technical, physical and competitive work: engineering, the uniformed services, surgery, construction. Career is ruled by Jupiter for this ascendant, and Mars counts as a natural friend of it. Virgo is earth: practical, tangible, long-term work suits it. Its aspect on the 10th (Sagittarius) reaches the career from here. As 9th lord (a trine) in an angle, Mars brings fortune into visible life; if it is joined by an angle lord, the combination becomes a raja yoga. Financially, earning is energetic and impulsive; property and hard assets suit it better than loose cash. Its aspect on the 2nd (Aries) reaches savings and family wealth.

Family and home

Domestically, brothers, property and an active, sometimes argumentative household are themes. For the home itself, Mercury (lord of Gemini, the 4th) is the main witness.

When it gives results: the Mars dasha

Mars's Vimshottari mahadasha runs 7 years; in it, and in Mars antardashas, the 2nd, 7th and 9th houses come forward. For Pisces rising the tone is mostly constructive. Results are said to mature after about age 28.
