Mangala orders us to pierce the calling of our soul. As Skanda, he is the commander of Shiva’s army and its most valuable weapon. He possesses the fire that burns all ignorance and bestows the highest light of knowledge. This warrior knows first-hand that his fiery nature can quickly turn into judgment, anger, and self-criticism. We rarely take the time to ask why? What or why is it that Mars, both in western and Eastern astrology, is “malefic” often feared and problematic. Writer and Astrologer Alice Sparkly Kat, explores the etymology and history of how humans have related to this planet and gets to the core of why Mars (as Ares) is considered the “other.”
