Effects of Mars Transit in Astrology
The dignity, placement, or nature of Mars in the horoscope must be evaluated. A benefic planet that has good dignity causes good outcomes, but a malefic planet causes negative outcomes.

You may also be action-oriented at work and possessive in your personal relationships. Land or property matters may be to your advantage.
A weak or afflicted Mars in the 7th, 8th, or 12th house spoils marital happiness and health and brings problems in professional life. You will be impulsive, harsh, and too passionate.
