South Direction Yantra

The planet Mars represents the active emotional and vital projections of the self towards the outside world. Thus it represents energies hidden in matter, however trying to manifest themselves in the matter. The negative aspect of Mars also entails the chaotic and destructive forces. Just like the sun and the moon embody the polarity of the sexes on a higher platform, Mars and Venus represent this polarity on the sexual level. Mars is the active male pole personifying strength, courage, and enthusiasm. Without its influence, no interest, no passion, and no determination will ever develop. Mars is the planet of deed, clearly directed towards a goal.
