Impact of Mars transit on India

India got its independence on August 15, 1947 at midnight. In the chart for India drawn for Delhi, the Ascendant rising is Taurus at 7.46 degrees. The 3rd house which signifies the bordering nations, that is, our neighbours is having as many as five planets namely Moon, Mercury, Pluto, Saturn, Venus and Sun. At the time when India got Independence, the dasa was of Saturn. Now the dasa is of Mars from September 9, 2025, and it will be for a period of 7 years till 2032.

Mars is posited in the 2nd house in the sign Gemini at 7.27 degrees in the nakshatra of Rahu placed in the first house.

However, the events based on the dasa are also activated by the transit of the dasa lords. As far as the Mars is concerned it resides in one sign when the motion is normal for approximately for 45 days. At times once in approximately 2 to 3 years the movement of Mars is very unusual where it goes direct and retrograde between one/two adjacent signs for a period ranging from 180 days to 290 days at the maximum. When the stay is only in one sign for more than 200 days the effect is even worse. When the stay is for about 270 days or more between two adjacent signs many important events take place.
