Effects of the Ashtakavarga of Mars: Consideration of brothers (co-borns), valour and patience is done from Mars' Ashtakavarga. If the number of rekhas is larger in any rasi after Trikona Shodhana, there will be gains of land, happiness from wife and great happiness to brother when Mars passes through that rasi in transit. If Mars be weak, the brothers will be short-lived. There will be distress to brothers when Mars transits a rasi without rekhas. Here also the Yoga Pinda of Mars should be multiplied by the number of rekhas in the Ashtakavarga and the product be divided separately by 27 and 12. The remainder will denote the nakshatra and rasi respectively. The brother will suffer whenever Saturn transits that nakshatra or rasi (or the trikona nakshatras or rasis).
