Some of The Last Words of God via The Last Prophet [PBUH]
(Riyad as-Salihin 1808)
Furthermore, if Mars is also conjunct with either Rahu or Ketu, it makes the native excessively desirous. It makes them crave for physical union with partners, often immorally.
The malefic effect on Mars in this house also causes great disharmony with younger siblings which causes dominance issues and loss of cooperation. Dominance issues lead to all kinds of problems with siblings.
The reason why the physical union is connected to the 3rd house is that the given house is powerhouse or Bhavat Bhavam of the 8th house (intercourse). At the same time, the 3rd house itself belongs to the triangle of desires in which Mars exhausts its energy on the satisfaction of desires.
If Mars is aspected by or conjunct with other malefic planets (Sun, Saturn) it indicates complete detachment with younger siblings. In other words, these natives have near no contact with and live in separation from them.
However, a lot is also dependent on the holistic chart and incoming energy rays from other planets in the natal birth chart.
Namely, if Mars is conjunct with or aspected by a natural benefic planet (Moon, Mercury, Venus, Jupiter) then the above mentioned negative results are not manifested.
Hence, it indicates that the native has younger siblings and good cooperation with them.
Moreover, a positive influence on Mars in the 3rd house also provides the necessary skills and motivation to gain a good amount of wealth.
A lot of effects are also dependent on dignity of Mars in the 3rd house. Accordingly, if Mars is in friendly sign, it indicates that the native is valorous which supports them in their efforts and ventures.
If Mars is in its own or exaltation sign, it becomes very powerful and extracts all the auspicious outcomes from the 3rd house.
That is, the younger siblings of the native will be strong, healthy, and long-lived.
A powerful Mars in the house of courage makes these natives extremely brave and valorous which makes them capable of undertaking large scale projects with success. In classical texts, it is expressed as being powerful and victorious on the battlefield.
