An Article on Angarak Yoga (Rahu-Mars Conjunction) by a student Rahul.

Kindly see this, it will help a lot - https://www.astrosaxena.com/articles/maraconj

This conjunction happens when The Mars (the planet of energy, courage, aggression & will power) comes together with Rahu(a planet of unique things, materialistic desires, leftover karmas from past life and confusion). 

This is known an Angara Yoga because the Mars (fire) is conjuncting Rahu (blowing things out of proportion). 


Let's understand what The Mars & The Rahu individually are before understanding the conjunction. 


The Mars- our will power, courage, ability to take actions, aggressive behavior, our fighting ability, brother, male friends, a boyfriend or a romantic interest for a female, a soldier, an athlete, real estate, sex drive etc. 


The Rahu - Foreign things, foreign lands (here foreign means anything that we are not familiar with), drugs, medicines, intoxication, fame, wealth, success, obsession, past-life incomplete wishes, movies, television, internet, social media, unusual things, unique things, creativity, rule breaker, unorthodoxy, rebelliousness, illusion, blowing things out of proportions, materialistic things. 


Let's understand Rahu and Mars together. 


Rahu alone works differently than Rahu being with any planet. As Rahu is shadowy planet and it blows things out of proportion. So whatever, Rahu receives here from the Mars, Sign, House and Nakshatra, it will blow it 100 × (multiplied 100 times). 


Dignity of Mars 


If Mars is in good dignity sign-wise and nakshatra-wise, Rahu will blow it up or simply Rahu will make Mars into Mars 100×. If Mars is not in good dignity, Rahu will blow up the other traits of Mars like Aggression and Impulsiveness. Mars in good dignity means immensely high amount of courage and will power, so much that native may not even realize (Rahu bringing confusion here). The more challenging & competitive the work is, the more the native is likely to get benefits from this conjunction. 


This conjunction is like having a massive nuclear reaction going inside you and as we know nuclear reactors require highly sophisticated and focused work to get the best of the reaction, example (the sun). While more importantly, the reaction must not get derailed or it may turn out to be a biggest catastrophic event, example (Chernobyl Disaster - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_disaster  ). 


So the pendulum of efforts oscillates between the best results (our Sun- nuclear reaction going on for millions of years and will continue to do so for next billions year, keep the whole solar system alive to the worst results like Chernobyl and Fukushima Disaster (from the after effects of the both the whole world is trying to overcome - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fukushima_nuclear_accident  ). 


Rahu comes from a group of so-called bad planets (Rahu, Ketu and Saturn). They are most misunderstood and feared planets. So, Rahu here is just going to take up the qualities it gets from its environment (House, Sign, Nakshtra and conjucting planet in this case) and blowing it out of proportion. 


The most important points here are the utilization of this immense nuclear-cum-volcanic energy. 


As The Osho said in most meaningful and insightful manner, everyone is born with energy, if we do not take it upwards, it will naturally go downwards. So in this case, for this 100× energy, the native is required put his/her best efforts in the most positive direction. 


Apart from dignity of the Mars, the maturity age of The Mars plays a huge role here in directing this 100× energy, after 28 years of age, native will most likely be able to put his best efforts in the best direction. 


Apart from the house where it happens, Mars own 2 houses in chart, it aspects 4th, 7th & 8th house from itself while being karaka of so many important things and people. Rahu co-owns Aquarius sign, aspects 5th, 7th, & 9th from itself being karaka of so many important things. This 100× energy is going to have a significantly high impact on the native and so many aspects of his/her life. 


Handling stress, anger, direction & efforts may be really challenging in the beginning of the life. 


Rahu's and Mars's Antardasha and Mahadasha may being big challenges and big results out of these challenges - https://www.astrosaxena.in/astrology/info/1670/mahadasha-activation-and-its-results  


Taking help from Jaimini concepts, the native may get the best results even if the Mars is not in good dignity from the house/sign/Nakshtra wise from Ajeeva Karakas (non-living significance - fame, wealth, achievements and materialistic goals) while the best dignity too can pose a challenging situation in Jeeva Karakas (living significance - Relationships and Friendships). 


Free Will Vs Destiny 


Many people are of the opinion that Mars is our will power and Rahu (which is also leftover desires from past lives, which you are where to fulfill) is out destiny. So, it is Free will be Destiny. 


Instead of going into whether it is your free will or destiny which will emerge victor. 


Just understand one simple fact, you with your conscious and best efforts (Mars) do not want anything bad and Rahu (Destiny or God's will) doesn't also want anything bad for you. No planet has any kind of enmity with you. 


Going beyond seeing everything as 'Good' and 'Bad'


It's our opinion and faith in something that makes an event as good (if we like it) or bad (if we do not like it). 


With consciousness and awareness, you can turn around the seemingly inevitable catastrophic event and work towards achieving the higher of this bodily incarnation of the soul. 


As The Osho said the best, if you feel you are unlucky and only bad things happen to you, you are going to attract only bad things and people. 


Most importantly, if we feel we are lucky and have faith that this 100× energy is a blessing in disguise for you to achieve anything you want(by putting the best efforts) & overcome any challenge the society or anyone may throw.


Practically speaking, the native need to exhaust his body as much as possible by doing any physical activity or any exhausting sport while directing all energies & efforts towards a goals or ambition. 


A important planet (player) in the game is The Moon


For a greater understanding of The Moon’s role in life, see this -

As the Rahu which is also called as north node of the Moon, it is also a planet is illusion and confusion, this 100× energy may impact all relations, health career of the native. The position & dignity of the Moon (our mind and emotions) plays a vital role. 


A Moon in good dignity sign/Nakshtra wise is going to help native a lot in handling difficult situation & big challenges. 


A Moon not in good dignity, may embolden the reality, (Native may feel fear and insecurity by 100×). 


Daily physical exercise or activity along with 5 minutes of mediation after waking up and before going to bed or even a self-positive talk can do wonders for the native. 


Rahu normally not being considered a karaka (significator) of anything in Jaimini concepts, we can still consider him as the karaka of destiny while the Mars as karaka of Karma. 


So. the best results can be a person fulfilling all the desires he/she was supposed to fulfill in this incarnation when The Karma aligns itself with The Destiny. 


Final Words: Conjunction of The Rahu and The Mars is also called as "Vijaya Yoga", a yoga or combination for victory or victories. It's all up to you how you want to call it a negative vibes giving- Angarak Yoga or positive vibes giving - Vijaya yoga.


To have a win-win situation, you can call it "Angarak Yoga" destroying or burning negativity and all bad from life and "Vijaya Yoga" helping you become triumphant against challenges of life.
