Mars is known as the planet of aggression, assertion and dynamism in Vedic astrology. When Mars is placed in Shatabhisha Nakshatra, it creates a unique combination that can lead to both positive and negative outcomes. This is an air element nakshatra, which generally brings intellectual pursuits and humanitarian efforts. It is ruled by Rahu (North Node) which represents the need to break through limitations and rebel against conventional wisdom. With all its positive attributes, this placement of Mars requires a cautious approach for those who are born under it.
