Mars, Alochak Pitta, and Immunity
1.
Alochak Pitta and Mars
- Alochak Pitta: Governs perception, clarity,
and the fire of vision.
- Mars’ rulership: Mars rules Alochak Pitta,
signifying sharpness, decisiveness, and the ability to act.
- Functional link: Just as Alochak Pitta allows
us to “see clearly,” Mars provides the impulse to act with clarity and
courage.
2. Mars
and the Nervous System
- Mars → Nerves: Represents the raw conduction
of impulses, the fiery transmission of signals.
- Mercury → Neurons: Governs the fine wiring,
synaptic communication, and intellectual coordination.
- Jupiter → Myelin Sheaths / Nerve Ends: Symbolizes protection, insulation,
and the wisdom of proper nerve function.
- Integration: Mars provides the drive
(nerve impulse), Mercury the messenger (neuronal communication),
Jupiter the guardian (myelin protection).
3. Mars
and Majjā Dhātu
- Majjā Dhātu (Bone Marrow): The seat of vitality,
regeneration, and immunity.
- Mars’ connection: Mars rules marrow, linking it
to courage, vitality, and the body’s defense system.
- Blood and Immunity: RBCs and WBCs are generated in
bone marrow. Mars thus governs both vitality (RBCs) and defense (WBCs).
4. Mars
and the 6th House
- 6th House (Ari Bhava): Associated with disease,
obstacles, and service.
- Saturn as Rog Karaka: Saturn signifies disease,
chronicity, and limitation.
- Mars as Defence: Mars represents the immune
response, the body’s active fight against disease.
- Dynamic Balance: Saturn shows the challenge
(disease), Mars shows the resistance (immunity).
Philosophical
Synthesis
- Mars is not mere muscle power
but the inner fire of defence and action.
- Alochak Pitta shows Mars’ role
in clarity and perception.
- Majjā Dhātu reveals Mars as the
source of vitality and immunity.
- In the 6th house, Mars stands as
the warrior of health, while Saturn is the teacher of limitation.
