If Mars occupies any of its own signs Aries or Scorpio, the man gets honour from the Government of the day. He is much travelled, an official of the Army trader and a wealthy person. He has injury on his body, is a thief. He is over sexed. In case Mars occupies signs of Venus in Taurus or Libra he is under the influence of his wife, is opposed to friends and is adulterous. He knows magic tricks, is well dressed, timid and meets cold treatment to others.
