4 Practical Ways To Strengthen Your Mars

Mars is the driving force behind all of our actions, embodying qualities like courage, passion, and determination, but also impulsiveness and aggression. A positive Mars makes you believe in yourself and gives you the courage to stand up, propelling us past obstacles towards our goals. A negative Mars can lead to impulsivity, fear, and passive-aggressiveness.

As a warrior planet, Mars thrives in conflict but achieving success in life, whether in business, health, or relationships, depends on channeling this energy wisely. Choosing the right battles and setting meaningful goals are essential to harnessing Mars’ potential.

The placement of Mars in a birth chart is pivotal, especially in relationships. For instance, Mangal Dosha or being Manglik can influence relationship dynamics significantly. Mars’ reluctance to compromise highlights the importance of managing and strengthening Mars in one’s astrological chart to foster harmony and stability in partnerships.

So, all you need to tackle Mars, is just to tame him and strengthen him.

Here are 4 Practical Ways To Strengthen Your Mars Based on Mars’ Placement in Your Birth Chart

1. Donate – Based on your birth chart there are very specific things that you personally could and should donate to strengthen your Mars.

2. Honor Lord Hanuman – Lord Hanuman is closely associated with Mars. His courage combined with his one-pointed devotion for Lord Rama is the quality of a strong mars. According to where Mars is placed in your birth chart there will be a specific mantra for you to chant.

3. Find Which Finger Relates to Mars – Your fingers, excluding the thumb, represent the 12 zodiac signs. You can honor Mars by touching the sign where it is placed. i.e. if your Mars is in Scorpio there will be a specific part of your finger that you could touch with your thumb, whilst praying or chanting.

4. Honor Kartikeya or Skanda During Mars Hora – Honor Kartikeya or Skanda, the Hindu warrior god and son of Lord Shiva, who governs Mars. Praying to him can help you harness Mars’ positive attributes. The most effective way to pay homage is through Japa (meditative repetition) and mantra chanting, ideally performed during Mars Hora for maximum spiritual alignment.
