Siddhānta — the theory
M aṅgala is raw force — the energy that wills, wants and acts. The Sun is who you are; the Moon, how you feel; Maṅgala is what you do about it. It is the warrior in the chart, and like any warrior it can defend or it can wound. Before we open the two lenses, hold one image: fire is neither good nor bad — everything turns on where it is aimed.
Movement I · Siddhānta — two lenses on Maṅgala
Mars is drive and assertion — physical energy, desire, anger and courage. It governs how one acts, wants, competes and defends; its sign colours the whole martial character.
Maṅgala is the senāpati, the commander — kāraka of energy, courage, brothers and land. Its sign and dignity show how the will strikes, and where conflict and property are met.
Mars is the force of will, and the path turns it inward. The same fire that quarrels with the world becomes tapas — the heat that burns away one's own weakness. The true battle is not with another but with the lower self; a harsh Mars is not a flaw but an instruction: here is the fire you are asked to aim.
“The warrior who conquers himself is greater than the one who conquers a thousand.”
You carry a fire, and it must go somewhere. The West reads its surface — drive, desire, anger. Jyotiṣa reads its depth — the commander, courage, the blood and the brothers. The spiritual path names its purpose — the same heat turned inward as tapas, the conquest of the self. So the sign, house and dignity of your Mars tell you the shape your fire takes. Mastery is to read that shape on sight — and, in time, to aim it true.
Abhyāsa — hands at the wheel
Theory is the hook; this is the work. Drag Mars around the dial — or click any sign — to move Maṅgala, and watch the fire change character as it passes each house. Move through all twelve until each temperament is a reflex.

Prayoga — read the life, place the light
Abhyāsa gave you the sign and asked how {{ planetEn }} behaves there. Now work the way a reader truly works — backward. Read a life shaped by {{ planetEn }}, decide which sign it stands in, and place the light there on the wheel. No options are listed and no score is kept; a wrong guess costs nothing — only the reasoning you build.

Siddhi — read it cold.
No passive completion. Here is an unseen placement. Name the nature of this force before the answer is revealed — the wheel will tell you at once whether you have it.
