MANGALIK DOSHA
As per birth chart of Vedic astrology, when malefic planets like Kuja (Mars), Shani (Saturn), Rahu, and Ketu occupies certain positions, it creates Doshas (malefic results). Vedic Astrology advocates various doshas such as Kala Sarpa dosha, Pitru dosha, Naadi dosha, Kuja Dosha, etc. There are certain conditions for each of these doshas to form. The nature and period of impact of these doshas vary from one another. Some gives their influences for a short period of time, while others could harmfully impact individuals for a loner period, extending upto many years, including life time.
Accordingly, there is Mangal dosha (name will be vary in different part of country such as Sumangalik dosha, Angaraka dosha, Bhom dosha, kuja dosha, chovvai dosham, chovva dosham etc), which is due to unfavourable position of planet mars in horoscope and that can cause problems like delays in getting married, health issues to partner, bitter acrimony, enmity among couples and untimely death of partner etc… If the placement of planet Mars happened in the 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th or 12th houses from the ascendant /lagna or Moon or Venus, then it is called mangalik dosha.
However, this isn’t the only condition to form the Kuja dosha; there have to be certain other conditions to trigger this malefic formation. If Mars is placed in the 7th or 8th house, then the possibility for Manglik dosha is severe.
Basic signification of Planet Mars in horoscope:
• Planet Mars symbolizes immense courage, energy, will power, and self-confidence.
• Negatively, it causes aggression, irritation, anger, volatile temper, argument, conflict, competition, domination, violence, injury, destructive nature and disaster.
Negative results of Kuja Dosha on Marriage
The position of mars in the following houses is supposed to create certain negative conditions which could harm negatively in married life:
Houses Significations Effects of Kuja Dosha
2nd house Speech, wealth of family and happiness Unwanted debates, diminishing family wealth after marriage, lack of income, harsh words, misunderstanding among partners.
4th house Childhood and its experiences Negative environment at home, aggression, frequent quarrels.
7th house Marriage and Partner Differences with spouse, physical abuse, dominating nature over partner
8th house Welfare of the spouse Sudden early death of partner, accidents, problems with in-laws.
12th house Conjugal happiness between couples Quarrels and fights when in bedroom. Unhappiness and lack of satisfaction in sexual life, extra-marital sexual relationship etc
Always there are exemptions for the formation of mangalik dosha, such as favourable position of mars in horoscope, aspect of positive planets such as Jupiter etc. However, my observation and past experience shows very limited cases of overcoming from mangalik dosha. This dosha leads to an abusive marriage in terms of verbal, physical & emotional attacks, lack of spiritual growth etc ., if proper remedies are not performed in due time.
Therefore, mangalik dosha needs to be seriously considered during the time of marriage. Compatibility, (graha samiyam ) means position of all planets in both charts needs to be keenly matched for success of a marriage.
In order to get a proper matching horoscope native needs to do Pooja and remedies in consultation with any learned astrologer.
