Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn: these 5 Planets own two signs each. Like Mars owns Aries and Scorpio. Aries is Mooltrikona Sign of Mars. If we look on elementary nature of these two signs of Mars, both are totally different like Aries is a Fiery Sign while Scorpio is Watery Sign. Also both are in 1-8 placement (also known as Shadastak). Depending on characteristics, Aries is considered as Active Sign and Scorpio as Passive. Aries Mars practice much masculine features while Scorpion Mars is of Feminine features along with more emotions.

Same way. other 4 planets have one active Sign and other Passive Sign.

As Laghu Parashari, Asc play an important to judge the results multiple signs of a Planet. According to each Asc...the House wise Placement differs. Like, if a Planet owns one Kendra Sign and one Trine sign.. then such a Planet is considered Rajyoga Karka (or benefic).

Here, both Sign's placement as per houses occupied by them according to Asc... act as a guide tool for results experienced by them. Further Planet's own placement with respect to each Sign/House and from Asc become important factor.
