Why Mars is Exalted in Capricorn at 28 degrees❓
✅Mars popularly known as Kuja in vedic astrology is a karaka, or indicator, of brother and siblings, assertion, aggressiveness, soldiers and military endeavors, mechanical ability, engineers and surgeons, commanders and rulers, accidents, violence and war, ambition, strength, arguments and conflict, passion and desire. Like Surya, the Sun, Mars most powerful position is in the 10th House. He is a particularly beneficial planet for Cancer or Leo Ascendants. His nature is PITTA, or fiery. His gem is red coral and his direction is south. Mars' day is Tuesday and he reaches full maturity at age 28.
It is powerful in Pisces and Aquarius, Mrighshira, Dhanishtha, and Chitra and its nakshatras.
✅Mars is the great planet of energy and it also represents fire element. The essential difference between Mars and Sun is; Mars is purely energy whereas Sun is energy with soul. The exalted sign for Mars is Capricorn which is a cardinal sign with earth element. The degree of exaltation is 28 degrees.
⏩Mars is exalted in 28 degrees Capricorn because here he is in the height of the sign, which represents the achievement of ambitions. But he is also ready for redirection, because the degree of his exaltation touches the 29th degree and a planet in the last 3 degrees of a sign is already looking for the next.This makes him restless and impatient, ready to move towards new aims. In Capricorn Mars is like fire controlled and enclosed in a hearth made of earth, which can be directed for useful purposes like a steam engine or to give warmth and comfort. People with Mars in Capricorn has power, strength, courage and aggression almost like Sun but more to carry out mundane tasks in life without the higher goals and vales of Sun.
⛔Dhanishta Nakshatra brings out the best of Mars and he is extremely happy here.
Dhanishta is the 23rd of the 27 nakshatras or lunar mansions.
The name roughly translates as “Famous”, “Wealthy”, “Most heard of.”
Ruled by The Warrior Mars – the planet of energy, impulse, and action.
Dhanishta can harmonize the polar opposite energies of Mars and Saturn.The active go-getter mars is well supported by the practical, realistic wisdom of Saturn.
Shiva is the main deity of this constellation and which destroys ignorance and the craziness of the mind but does so with musical grace.The symbol of Dhanishta is Drums – related to Lord Shiva’s Damru and a flute – related to Lord Krishna’s musical instrument. If you observe both of these instruments are hollow and it signifies the need to be receptive to the frequency of the universal higher mind without falling trap to our personal limited ego.
⛰Dhanishta is also ruled by the collective Gods called Ashta Vasus.⛰
