Debilitated Mars in Fourth House
When debilitated Mars is placed in the fourth house in a horoscope, Aries rises in the ascendant. Debilitated Mars is benefic in the fourth house in many cases though it may turn malefic in some cases. This may happen when Mars is afflicted by malefic planets, such as through conjunction and/or aspects. As the number of malefic planets and the strengths of such planets increase, Mars may become more malefic.
Since Mars is weak due to debilitation, it may become easy for malefic planets to add negativity to Mars. If debilitated Mars is afflicted by one or more than one malefic planet in the fourth house, it may turn significantly or highly malefic. Apart from that, the overall theme of horoscope having such debilitated Mars can also turn it malefic in some cases, when such theme is malefic. The concept of benefic planets turning malefic due to influences of malefic planets has been explained in Manglik Dosh section of the book ‘Match Making and Manglik Dosh (Revised Edition)’.
Let’s look at some results which may be given by debilitated Mars in the fourth house when it is benefic. Such benefic debilitated Mars can bless the native with good results related to health, lifespan, mother, marriage, education, properties, vehicles, profession, finances, reputation, authority and several other good results, depending on his overall horoscope.

Benefic Moon is placed in the first house in Aries, benefic Sun is placed in the eighth house in Scorpio, Mercury is placed in the seventh house in Libra, benefic exalted Rahu is placed in the sixth house in Virgo, and benefic exalted Ketu is placed in the twelfth house in Pisces.

On the other hand, malefic debilitated Mars in the fourth house of horoscope can trouble the native with problems related to health, lifespan, mother, marriage, education, profession, finances, reputation, properties, vehicles and several other problems, depending on his overall horoscope and running times.
Since Mars is weak due to debilitation, the native may face problems related to health and he witness reduction in lifespan.

Taking an example, suppose debilitated Mars is placed in the fourth house of a horoscope in Cancer with malefic Mercury. Malefic Ketu is placed in the ninth house in Sagittarius, malefic Rahu is placed in the third house in Gemini, debilitated Venus is placed in the sixth house in Virgo, Saturn is placed in the twelfth house in Pisces and debilitated Moon is placed in the eighth house in Scorpio.
