According to Vedic astrology, Mars is debilitated in a horoscope when it is placed in the sign of Cancer, which in simple words means that Mars becomes the weakest when placed in Cancer compared to its placement in all the other signs. Debilitated Mars is associated with many bad things by many astrologers and it is believed by a number of astrologers that debilitated Mars always works negatively in a horoscope and it brings bad results for the native under its influence. This is not the case in actual practice and debilitated Mars can work positively as well as negatively in a horoscope depending on the other deciding factors and depending on the overall tone of the horoscope of a native under consideration.
The word debilitated simply relates to the strength of Mars in a horoscope and it doesn’t relate to the nature of Mars in a horoscope. Accordingly debilitated Mars placed in different houses of a horoscope can give benefic as well as malefic results depending on the nature of Mars as well as depending on the overall tone of the horoscope. We will now discuss some of these benefic as well as malefic effects which can be experienced when debilitated Mars is placed in different houses of a horoscope. While discussing some of these effects, it should be noted that due to its debilitation, Mars alone generally doesn’t provide strong positive or negative results and it needs to be supported by other positive or negative planets in order to produce such results. Hence we will discuss good or bad results given by debilitated Mars in combination with other positive or negative planets in a horoscope.
