Mars in Lal Kitab: nature and remedies

Mars is the planet of courage, brothers, property and the drive to act.

Lal Kitab splits Mars in two: Mangal Nek, the protective, brave Mars, and Mangal Bad, the hot-tempered one that burns what it touches. Its own houses are the 3rd (courage and brothers) and the 8th (sudden events). Which face Mars shows depends on the house and on the planets beside it.

Mars remedies are about cooling heat and sharing sweetness: giving masoor dal, floating batashe in flowing water, keeping good terms with brothers, and keeping your temper. Lal Kitab says a person who protects the weak gets the best of Mars.
