Mars in the 2nd House and Anal Disease
Mars as a fiery, cutting planet: When Mars occupies
the 2nd house, it can afflict the region of the mouth, throat, and digestive
tract. But in deeper medical astrology, the 2nd house is also linked with food
intake and assimilation, which connects downstream to the rectum and anus.
Anal disease possibility:
Mars here can cause ulceration, fissures, piles, or
fistula due to its fiery, inflammatory nature.
If Mars is afflicted (by Saturn, Rahu, or aspect from
malefics), the risk of chronic anal disease increases.
Mars in earthy signs (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn) may manifest
as hardening, obstruction, or painful evacuation.
Mars in watery signs (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces) may manifest
as bleeding, pus, or infection.
Jupiter in the 8th
House or Linked to the 8th Lord
8th house significance: The 8th governs chronic
disease, hidden disorders, and the excretory/reproductive organs.
Jupiter’s role: Normally benefic, but when placed in
the 8th or linked to the 8th lord, Jupiter’s expansive nature can aggravate
growths, swellings, or abnormal tissue development.
Anal disease possibility:
Jupiter here can indicate haemorrhoids, polyps, or
glandular swellings in the anal region.
Being a planet of “expansion,” Jupiter may cause enlargement
of veins (piles) or growths.
If Jupiter is afflicted by Mars or Saturn, the condition may
become painful, bleeding, or obstructive.
Jupiter in watery signs may cause mucus-related disorders,
while in fiery signs it may cause burning and inflammation.

Mars + Jupiter connection: If Mars is in the 2nd aspect
Jupiter in the 8th, or if they are in a mutual relationship, the risk of serious
anal disease increases, combining inflammation (Mars) with growth/expansion
(Jupiter).
Horary (Praśna) application: In medical horary, Mars
in the 2nd or Jupiter in the 8th can be judged for rectal disease queries.
Remedial perspective: Classical texts often prescribe
cooling measures (Moon, Venus influence) or mantras for Mars/Jupiter
pacification to mitigate such fiery/glandular afflictions.
Mars in the 2nd = fire in the channel of food → anal
fissures.
Jupiter in the 8th = growth in the channel of excretion → haemorrhoids/piles.
Together, they show how fire and expansion combine to produce chronic
anal disease tendencies.
1. Mars in the 2nd House
The 2nd house governs food intake, speech, family, face,
mouth, and stored wealth.
Mars here tends to bring sharp speech, disputes inthe family, fiery digestion, and accidents related to food or teeth.
From a medical perspective, the 2nd house connects to the digestive
tract and assimilation, which downstream links to the rectum and anus.
2. Mars’ Aspect on the 8th House
Mars aspects the 8th house fully from the 2nd (his 7th aspect).
The 8th governs chronic disease, hidden disorders,
reproductive organs, anus, longevity, and transformations.
Mars’ fiery, cutting nature afflicting the 8th can manifest
as:
Anal diseases (fissures, piles, fistula, bleeding)
Ulcers or wounds in hidden organs
Inflammatory disorders of the rectum and reproductive
system
Sudden accidents or surgical interventions in those
areas
3. Combined Effect
Mars in 2nd → fire in digestion.
Aspect on 8th → fire in excretion and chronic disease
zone.
Together, this creates a digestive-to-anal disease
pathway: improper assimilation → inflammation → rectal disorders.
If Mars is afflicted (by Saturn, Rahu, or Ketu), the
condition worsens into chronic, painful disease.
If benefics (Jupiter, Venus) influence, the severity may
reduce, but the tendency remains.
🩺 Medical Astrology
Correlation
Mars = heat, inflammation, surgery
2nd house = intake, digestion
8th house = anus, chronic disease
Aspect = fire travels from mouth to rectum → anal
disease possibility.
Classical texts often note piles, fistula, ulcers, and
blood disorders under this configuration.
Mars in 2nd aspecting 8th = “Fiery digestion burns its
way to the anus.”
It shows a direct inflammatory link between food intake and anal
disease, especially when malefics join or afflict.
