Mars’s Drishti
Mars in Taurus, bhava 2, casting its gaze across the chart.
Mars's gaze lands on Raven's fifth and eighth houses, stirring restlessness in her creative expression and forcing her to confront hidden fears and desires rather than gloss over them. That same gaze touches Jupiter, which means her natural optimism and sense of possibility get tested and sharpened by Mars's need to prove itself, making her beliefs less abstract and more hard-won. Saturn watching Mars back keeps her from recklessness, though it does create a tension between her drive to act and her caution about consequences.
Where Its Gaze Falls
In Vedic astrology every graha aspects (casts drishti on) the house opposite it; Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Rahu and Ketu have extra special aspects. Wherever Mars’s gaze lands, it colours that area of life.
