When a good astrologer sees benefic exalted Mars placed in the tenth house of a horoscope, the first thing that comes to his mind is authority. This is because the tenth house of a horoscope primarily deals with profession, visibility, recognition, success and authority. Hence the presence of any strong benefic planet in this house of a horoscope is likely to bless the native with some of these things depending on the general as well as specific nature of the planet placed in this house; and depending on the overall tone of the horoscope of the native under consideration. Moving on, when benefic exalted Mars is placed in the tenth house of a horoscope in the sign of Capricorn, the sign Aries ruled by Mars falls in the first house of this horoscope. Hence Aries rules the first house or the house of ascendant in such horoscope and Mars being the planetary lord of the sign Aries becomes the lord of ascendant in this case.
As we already know that among all the planets, the lord of ascendant in a horoscope if the most important planet in that horoscope, hence any type of strength or weakness to this planet may have significant effects in the horoscope, whether such effects are positive or negative. As Mars being the lord of ascendant is exalted in this case, it gives more strength to the house of ascendant as well as to the entire horoscope since any type of strength given to the ascendant in a horoscope can strengthen the entire horoscope. Therefore this horoscope becomes strong by virtue of its lord of ascendant being placed in its sign of exaltation. Moving on, Mars is the planet of courage, bravery, initiative, physical strength and other such qualities, which are the qualities possessed by leader type of people who gain authority and recognition of one type or the other, by virtue of such qualities.
Coming to the result, the planet which can bless the native with courage and leadership qualities is exalted and it is placed in the tenth house of a horoscope which also signifies leadership and authority. Hence the planet wants authority and recognition; and the house of its placement supports all these things. As a result, the natives under the effect of such benefic exalted Mars in the tenth house of their horoscopes may come across very good professional results, if their horoscopes allow such results. As already mentioned by me, the overall tone of a horoscope is the most important factor in a horoscope and no single planet can govern a horoscope, even if that single planet is the lord of ascendant, it is exalted and it is placed in one of the most supportive houses of a horoscope, for the agenda it carries. Therefore, if the overall tone of a horoscope is supportive, benefic exalted Mars placed in the tenth house of that horoscope can bless the native with some very good results through the field of his profession.
Apart from profession, benefic exalted Mars in the tenth house of a horoscope can also bless the native with good results related to marriage, finances, health, fame and many other types of good results. Accordingly the natives under the effect of this benefic influence may come across some of these good results depending on the overall tone of their horoscopes. Coming back to profession, the natives under the effect of this benefic influence may succeed in a wide variety of professional spheres and the scope of professional spheres covered by this benefic influence may not be limited to any number of professions. This is due to the reason that when exalted lord of ascendant is placed in the house of profession in a horoscope, the native can get engaged in almost any type of profession, depending on the overall tone of his horoscope.
Most natives under the effect of such benefic exalted Mars tend to get some type of authority or recognition in their lives and accordingly they may get interested in fields of profession which can give them recognition and authority along with financial benefits. Some of these natives may engage in various departments of government and they may claim authority as police officers, administrative offices, revenue offices, taxation officers, law officers, judges, ministers in government and many other types of professionals. For example, if benefic exalted Mars is placed in the tenth house of a horoscope in the sign of Capricorn, a benefic combination of Sun and Mercury is placed in the first house of this horoscope in the sign of Aries, benefic Rahu is placed in the eighth house of this horoscope in the sign of Scorpio and Ketu is placed in the second house of this horoscope in the sign of Taurus, the native may become a police officer.
The native under the combined effect of all these benefic planets may join police force and he may achieve good amount of success through this field of profession. At the same time, if benefic Moon is placed in the fifth house of this horoscope in the sign of Leo, the equation may become much more positive. Accordingly the native under the combined effect of all these benefic planets may appear in some competitive exams for selection in police force and by means of success in such exams, he may get selected for the highest possible direct rank in police force. The benefic effect of such exalted Mars combined with the effect of all other benefic planets in this horoscope can bless the native with very good amount of success through this field of profession. As more benefic influences add to this horoscope, the native under the combined effect of all such benefic influences may achieve even more success through this field of profession.
Taking a look at another example, if benefic exalted Mars is placed in the tenth house of a horoscope in the sign of Capricorn, benefic Saturn is placed in the twelfth house of this horoscope in the sign of Pisces and a benefic combination of Mercury and exalted Jupiter is placed in the fourth house of this horoscope in the sign of Cancer, the native may join foreign services. Such native may represent his country in one of its foreign offices like an embassy or a high commission, in various countries of the world. The combined effect of these benefic planes can also bless the native with a post of authority in foreign services. At the same time, if a benefic combination of Sun and Moon is placed in the fifth house of this horoscope in the sign of Leo, the equation may become much better.
As a result, the native may appear in some competitive exams for selection in foreign services and by means of success in such exams, he may get selected for the highest possible direct rank in foreign services. As more benefic planets add to this horoscope, the native may receive even better results through this field of profession. For instance, the presence of benefic exalted Venus in the twelfth house of this horoscope in the sign of Pisces along with benefic Saturn can render some beautiful results to this native. As a result, the native under the effect of all these benefic planets may get posted in some of the most beautiful countries of the world and he may also get married to a beautiful woman from a foreign country, if the laws of his country allow such marriage.
On the other hand, malefic exalted Mars placed in the tenth house of a horoscope can trouble the native with problems related to his marriage, profession, finances, reputation, overall health and many other types of problems. As a result, the natives under the effect of this malefic influence may come across some of these problems depending on the overall tone of their horoscopes. Such malefic exalted Mars can especially prove bad for the professional aspect of the native as tenth house of a horoscope primarily deals with the profession of the native and the placement of any malefic planet in this house of a horoscope is likely to cause problems in the professional sphere of the native. Some natives under the effect of this malefic influence may not get professionally established till late in their lives and they may not be able to find stable jobs or permanent professions. These natives may have to struggle till late in their lives in order to find a permanent profession.
If such malefic exalted Mars is supported by some other malefic plants in a horoscope, the native may not be able to find a permanent profession till his age of 35. Such native may only get some temporary jobs and he may have to remain jobless between such temporary jobs. Some other natives suffering from such malefic exalted Mars may have to face setbacks and failures through their professions and they may also face financial losses through their fields of profession. If there are some other malefic influences in the horoscope of a native, which support malefic exalted Mars in the tenth house of his horoscope; the native under the combined effect of such malefic influences may have to suffer from the complete loss of a profession. It means that such native may start a business of his own and in a matter of few years, he may lose all the money invested in such business; and he may also have to suffer from debt and other problems, under the effect of these malefic influences.
