Mars in Fourth House in Vedic Astrology

This is not a good position for Mars, as it will tend to cause the native some turmoil and strife as far as the domestic scene goes. Trouble will occur at times with, or through the parents, particularly if one of them is highly excitable or of a high strung nature. At the same time, despite the friction, there will be a desire for home comforts and for having the home as a base from which to direct external affairs. The native will have to use discretion and patience if he is to blend his home life with his ideals. Mars in the fourth house can cause problems in family or in homeland or the person often leaves the birthplace. When Mars is retrograde in fourth house one has ingrained need to dominate inside family or has dominant parent, and one needs to transcend destructive aspects of that relationship, and general dependence on others.
