Mangal in Karka in your kundali
Mangal is debilitated in Karka: its weakest sign. Its matters need extra effort, though Neecha Bhanga (cancellation) by a strong Chandra or an exalted planet can turn this into great strength.
Mangal is the karaka of energy, courage, siblings and property. In Karka these matters take on the colour of the sign: Karka is the Moon's own sign: sensitive, caring and deeply attached to home, mother and family.
In a water sign, Mangal acts through feeling, intuition and care.
