What the texts say

What does Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra say about Mars antardasha in Saturn mahadasha?

Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra gives Saturn-Mars verses 55 to 62 of chapter 57. For a strong Mars, verse 57 lists command of an army, royal favour, growth in farming and cattle, a new house and happiness for siblings ¹². Read today, that is leadership, property and support from brothers and sisters.

The cautious verses read like a list of everyday risks. For a debilitated or combust Mars, or Mars in the 8th or 12th with malefic aspects, verses 58 to 60 name loss of wealth, wounds, quarrels with co-partners, distress to father and brothers, travel abroad and needless spending ². Verse 62 names a fire offering and giving a bull ².

Phaladeepika keeps the same tone. Sloka 21.54 lists loss of position, quarrels with relations, fever, risks from fire and weapons, more opponents and eye trouble ³. Astrologers read both lists against your Mars, and practical care with driving, tools and tempers costs nothing.
