Ruchaka Yoga

Mars in own sign or exalted, in a kendra. Courage, leadership, strength.

Classical reading

One of the Pancha Mahapurusha. Forms when Mars occupies its own signs (Aries, Scorpio) or its exaltation (Capricorn) in a kendra. Classical reading: courage, athletic prowess, military or executive leadership, decisive personality, and physical strength. Ruchaka (clear / radiant) reflects Mars's direct, uncompromising signature when properly housed.
