Mars (Mangal) is the planet of energy, action, courage, and aggression in Vedic astrology. It governs our willpower, physical strength, and the ability to take initiative. When Mars is debilitated, its natural qualities become weak and distorted. Mars is considered debilitated in the sign of Cancer (Karka Rashi), which can impact various areas of life depending on its placement in the birth chart.
General Effects of Debilitated Mars
Lack of Courage and Confidence: The native may struggle to take bold decisions and show hesitation in difficult situations.
Emotional Aggression: Instead of expressing anger openly, the native may suppress it, leading to frustration and emotional outbursts.
Weak Physical Strength: The person may have low energy levels or health issues related to blood, muscles, or the nervous system.
Conflict in Relationships: Debilitated Mars can create misunderstandings, aggression, and lack of harmony in relationships.
Delayed Actions and Procrastination: The native may face delays in important tasks or lack the motivation to take action.
Debilitated Mars in Different Houses
1st House: Lack of physical energy, weak personality, or delay in personal achievements.
4th House: Disputes in domestic life, lack of peace at home, or problems related to property.
7th House: Aggression in marriage, conflicts with spouse, or separation.
10th House: Struggles in career, unstable professional life, or conflicts at the workplace.
12th House: Losses due to impulsive actions, hidden enemies, or legal issues.

Conclusion
A debilitated Mars in the birth chart can create challenges in physical strength, relationships, and decision-making.
