    Virgo Asc/ Sag Moon here.... during my Mars dasha i closed my business, divorced my husband and moved out. I lost a lot including money but I gained my freedom and healed my physical ailment! It was very turbulent and difficult at first, but i leaned on to Spirituality and realized I have many gifts of clairs. i am now in harmony with my ex husband and have qa beautiful home (small but overlooking a nature reserve and can see both sunrrise and sunset on the horizon on good sunny days.

    Thank you so much for this video! 🙏🏼 this was extremely informative and helpful. I’m 37 and just entered my Mars Mahadasha, I was wondering what was happening because things started changing for me overnight! I’ve been a vegetarian for 3 years I have Mars and Ketu in Scorpio, I’m a Leo rising and a Sag Moon. I also have Jupiter and My moon in my 5th house. I have a feeling the next 7 years are going to be BIG. I feel I’ve been preparing for this my whole life. 💗

    I remember i did become a vegetarian in this dasha though it wasn't a conscious choice. I was so young. I think i was about 12 years old. Now that i think about it my menstrual cycle also started in this dasha and I always had really heavy periods in those years. I have mars in aries in the 4th house sitting with venus the 5th lord. But Shani has his 10th aspect on this house. I never put all these things together. Thank you for these insights Gina

    so crazy, i went vegan just a few days into this mahadasha, i decided it needed to happen 2 days into it and then comitted 2 days later i believe. 🤯
    i’m a cap lagna (shravana) w moon (krittika) in 4H and mars (shatabhisha) in 2nd!
    i have to work on killing insects tho yikess, my family kinda encourages it though; i’m not apt to doing it at all. so i’ll stop doing that
    from asc- rules 4th & 11th houses
    from moon- rules 1st and 8th houses
    so i’m 2 years into this mahadasha now. sudden change? absolutely! like hello, covid-19. the pandemic kinda saved me though, in a way. my aries moon is conj rahu and i was feeling really badly about myself (1H theme) right before covid hit and felt like i needed to be homeschooled, i simply couldn’t take going to school anymore. then i didn’t have to go physically (all virtual) but fell wayyyy behind on my work even though i was usually a pretty good student. my grades never ended up recovering LOL. i’m graduating later this month tho.
    my veganism itself was a sudden change. but recently (april), my grandmother in law passed away very unexpectedly of covid. like SUPER suddenly. she was the primary caretaker of her ailing husband and autistic son, so they had to move into our house. (4H theme)
    my father passed in 2018 during my moon-venus mahadasha (i have afflicted moon and debilitated venus😅) and during my mars dasha i started receiving social security benefits. kinda unexpected as i didn’t receive much from him while he was alive. (8H theme)
    so i covered the 1st 4th and 8th houses; concerning sudden changes in the 11H? i cut off a friend suddenly during this time, august of last year if i’m not mistaken. i still think about it -.- as a krittika moon though i’m no stranger to severing ties with people if i feel the friendship doesn’t serve me. my experience with friendships has always been a bit rocky but now i’m just over them, lol. i’ve always been a bit of a misanthrope, it peaked in middle school but the feelings have come back with a vengeance. so that’s my experience so far. now that i’m recounting it it seems like a lot LOL. tbh though i’ve been way too lax with myself and i’m taking it upon myself to get things in order and make some strides this summer as i’ve been extremely stagnant for the last year+.

My mother (over 50) has a Gemini ascendant and is currently going through mars mahadasha, she developed a rare blood disorder called thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) which caused her platelets and blood count to become severely low, it came out of nowhere. TTP doesn't even run in our family. Thankfully she is doing much better and the disorder is in a latent period and will probably never flare up again. When she went to the hospital for a severe headache the physicians discovered that her platelet count was very low. She would have never guessed that it could be a blood disorder. Thank you.

Mainly moving away from toxic people, I became a notooo nice person. but fair, yes! I try to be! love? Unfortunately I don't believe it! And on vdd, I don't even want to. I feel the desire to work, work and contribute in this way to the world. whatever is good for me is only the result of good deeds. I want my freedom! Without having to take care of ngm! wedding?! Only if it's fate! So, live Dasa Sandhi, My Mars period starts in 2022/2023. May Mars come and free me once and for all from toxic people, I want to live, work and be free! Is it too much for Mars?
