Introduction
In this post, I would like to explain what happens when your natal Rahu is conjunct with Mars. These series are dealing with Rahu and Ketu (the North Node and the South Node, respectively) conjunctions to other planets. If you are curious where your Rahu and Ketu are placed, please click HERE to calculate your chart. I also offer past life readings on my ETSY STORE, in which I go more deeply into interpreting your Rahu and Ketu. The following is just an overview that will help you get some ideas about the effects of Rahu Mars conjunction.
What Rahu Conjunctions Represent
In Vedic astrology, Rahu represents the area of our inexperience in this lifetime. Planets conjunct with Rahu tend to be weaker and less developed. This is because the qualities they represent may not be fully or healthily established in the native’s character and behaviour. Due to uncertainty about how to approach these attributes, individuals may exemplify them in strange, unusual, or even false ways. Positively, this can lead to original and out-of-the-box thinking. However, negatively, Rahu influencing planets through conjunction can result in many confused choices and mistakes.
Rahu Mars Conjunction
Having your natal Rahu conjunct with Mars indicates that in your recent past lives you had not learned how to healthily approach matters such as competition, fighting, assertiveness, willpower, and aggression. This deficiency can make you overly aggressive, angry, pushy, and impulsive when your life is not going in a desired direction.
Due to a resulting frustration, you may feel like problems in your life make you feel overwhelmed. It is difficult for you to know how to deal with pain, effort, and exertion. You may also not know how to deal with competition. You may lack healthy balance in using your will, which you had not properly developed in your recent past lives. This creates troublesome situations in life as well as frustration and a lot of unnecessary anger when your will is thwarted or challenged.
You need to learn a proper application of will, part of which is to know when to use it and when not to. In this lifetime, it will be important for you to learn how to stand up against injustice, take initiative, and not let other people abuse you, walk over you, or cross your boundaries.
At the same time, it will be essential for you to become better at knowing when it’s the right time to quit or to let go of something, so that you do not appear to other people as a pushy and confrontational person. You will need to spend more time on creating the life you truly want for yourself in a healthy manner. This has to be done with a balanced amount of assertiveness and diplomacy.
Poisons and Toxicity
An interesting thing about this placement is that you need to be careful about what kind of substances (food or drinks) you consume. Rahu symbolises poison, which makes you likely to consume toxic products that are not good for your health. When combined with fiery Mars, this placement of Rahu could create inflammations within your body, skin problems, allergies, and issues with your blood because of what you eat or drink. In metaphorical terms, there could be some psychic sensitivity to negative emotional and mental energies around you.
If you have this conjunction, it would be crucial for you to maintain purity of your body and your soul. You may want to consider paying attention to your diet. Occasional fasting would also do good for you. Lastly, the fiery nature of Mars can be pacified by water sports and eating colder food, especially in summer.
