Sun and Mars Conjunct in the Birth Chart

The Sun is pitru karaka and the karaka of office. Mars is the karaka of conflict, land, siblings, and cutting skill. Together they can describe a person who leads by force, a technical or surgical competence, or a temper that answers to rank. The sign lord modifies both. In Mesha, Mars is in its own sign and the Sun is exalted, a dignified version of the heat. In Karka, Mars is debilitated and the Moon disposits a fallen commander beside the Sun. In Simha, the Sun disposits Mars in the Sun's own sign. Calling every Sun-Mars pair angry ignores Mesha. Calling every pair royal ignores Karka.

Grahan yoga is the Sun or the Moon with Rahu or Ketu. Sun-Mars has no node in it. Mars does not eclipse the Sun. Mars loses a measure of independent action when it is swallowed by solar light, and the Sun's agenda dominates the pair. Remedies that treat this like Rahu, with a nodal gem, are aimed at the wrong graha. Sunday is the Sun's day. Tuesday is Mars's day. A discipline follows the graha you have decided to address, after lordship is known. For Simha lagna Mars rules the 4th and the 9th and is yogakaraka, so Mars in with the Sun may be a yogakaraka combust in the lagna lord's sign. That is worth supporting only if you have named those houses. For Vrishchika lagna the Sun rules the 10th and Mars rules the 1st and the 6th, a mixed feed.

The Sun's mahadasha is 6 years. Mars's mahadasha is 7. Sun-Mars antardasha inside the Sun period is 6 times 7 divided by 120, which is 4 months and 6 days. That short slice is when both are running together. Outside it, one of them may be silent. A remedy does not separate the birth conjunction and does not cool a house the way an aspect from Jupiter does. If Jupiter aspects the pair, say so. That aspect is the chart's own moderation. A ruby or a coral feeds one of the two grahas and should not be chosen from the conjunction's name alone.
