Usual Effects of Mars in 3rd House

Mars in 3rd house makes you aggressive and brings you immense energy to multitask and learn many subjects. It also makes you direct in speech, without a filter in communication.

Due to your argumentative nature and aggressive energy, you get disheartened quickly if things do not work out as per your expectations. This might lead to psychological imbalance. This can also disturb the relationship with siblings and create sibling rivalry or denial of brothers.

The position gives you the courage, drive and capacity to acquire wealth through hard work, but when it comes to communication, you will speak your mind in a shrewd and abrupt manner, which will not be beneficial in any profession or business.

The 3rd house signifies siblings, short travels, writing, and studies; represents your subconscious thinking pattern, mental health, learning capacity, and planning skills. When Mars is posited in this house, it elevates the inner weaknesses and ferocity and creates havoc from inside, which disturbs your mind and well-being. Mars, being a fast-moving planet, will make you take hasty decisions, which will create problems.
