Mars or Angaraka is a red, fiery, and aggressive planet. It represents leadership, courage, war, anger, and confidence. When they come together in the same house in a person’s horoscope, the native may experience terrifying events in life. Mars and Rahu conjunction is called Angarak Yoga. This yoga is considered to be very inauspicious, and people fear it. This conjunction occurs once in 18 months.
