Every planet has very peculiar energy and likes his surrounding to match this. The house of the Horoscope represents different parts and areas of life, irrespective of the corresponding zodiac sign.
For example, the first house will always represent the health of the person irrespective of any sign.
Planets when placed in certain houses (Bhava) they tend to die because the energy of the house is different from what the planet represents. This is independent of the zodiac signs. Exaltation, debilitation and own sign (Swakshetra & Mulatrikona) are based on zodiac signs.
The word Marana means dying, karaka means significance and sthana means placement. It means when planets die due to their placement in a certain house.

When planets in Marana Sthana they die, which causes the destruction of the house they rule. It as been said that planets go to marana sthana due to past life karma and wrath of Lord Shiva, who cause them to die. The dasa of marana planet brings death like suffering and can also cause death, if the ascendant of the native is weak. The houses own by the planet in marana also causes troubles.
Shri Ram had Mars in the 7th house in Marana Sthana. Mars in 7th house makes a person extremely kind hearted and benevolent if Mars is alone. Mars in the 7th house also destroys all the enemies and the person is fearless warrior. Shri Ram was the greatest warrior and non can defeat him. Mars causes marriage problem in the 7th house. Shri Ram’s consort Goddess Sita was abducted by Ravana and Shri Ram had to fight a war to get her back. 7th house is house of love and war, Mars over here forces the person to go to war.
Mahatma Gandhi has Ketu and Sun in Marana Sthana. Ketu in the 4th house destroys home and marriage. Mahatma Gandhi lived in an ashram like a saint. He came from a very wealthy family but lived like a Sadhu (saint), and also become celibate after marriage.
Sun in the 12th house also in Marana sthana denoting loss of wealth. He abandoned all his wealth and dedicated his life to Satya. Marana Sun can also grant a government status and indeed he is the Father of the Nation.
Adolf Hitler, the person responsible World War II and killing millions of people. Jupiter, Mars, Mercury and Rahu are all in marana sthana. This person has a lot of death energy. Mars is in marana in own sign causing a Ruchaka Mahapurusha Yoga, making a person know for his killing and fighting power. This yoga is with the Atma Karaka Venus making sure that he will rise in power. Rahu in 9th house in marana sthana causing disbelieves about religion and race and false notions. Jupiter in the 3rd house is dead and can not stop the killing spree of Mars. Jupiter signifies human life and when Jupiter goes to Marana the native may kill others or himself. In this case both came true. Mercury in Marana means initially he may be a good person but two malefics in 7th house makes a person very cruel and deadly. He shot himself just after marrying his girlfriend, indeed 7th house is the house of love and war.
The Native’s Moon is in the 8th house in Marana Sthana. The native suffered from various health problems, depression and trouble at home. We see that Moon is also the Atma Karaka so the suffering is at the soul level. The Native committed suicide at the age of 26, as Jupiter in Marana Sthana either kills himself or the native may kill others.
Mars and Rahu are in Marana Sthana. Mars is with Saturn in the Bhadhaka Sign. The native faces tremendous setbacks in life, and many disputes. Rahu is own in sign in Marana Sthana, causing a lot of problems. There are many planets in the signs of marana planets. Jupiter and Venus in Aries become defunct as their Lord Mars is dead. The exchange between Jupiter and Mars only makes the things worse. Mars is the Atma Karaka, the native will face a big battle in life.
Moon and Mercury are in Rahu’s sign and also suffer from the death energy. There is a lot of suffering in life as all four kendras (quadrants) are hit.

Akshat Ji,
Can you clarify few things .MKS results of planets you explained vis a vis lagna of the native but can this principle be extended and understood as that where ever the planet is it is mks for some particular Bhava of the horoscope.
For example Saturn in any bhava is MKS for that particular Bhava.
Rahu in any bhava is mks for tha bhava the falls ninth from it.eg Rahu in 3rd will be work and function as mks for the 7th bhava of the horoscope ,surya 12tg from any bhava will be act as mks for that particular Bhava and like wise for every other planet.
Please elaborate about remedies sir,it would be really helpful
