Mangal Dosha or Mangalik

When the malefic planets like Saturn, Mars or Rahu are placed in unfavourable houses in the horoscope, such occurrences force a number of complications, challenges and negative effects in a person’s life. Mangal Dosha is one such unfavourable planetary condition in the horoscope. Mangal Dosha happens when the Mangal Graha or Mars is found occupying the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th, 12th house of a person’s horoscope.

Mars is called the God of war and this planet remains unmarried. Strangely, the planet which is itself unmarried creates such combinations in the horoscope of the native that constant problems remain in not just marriage proposals but also married life. Therefore it is generally advised that a Mangalik person should get married to a Mangalik or else there will be a bad effect on married life.

At the time of matchmaking, we become afraid when the astrologer tells us that our child is a Mangalik and fear is installed in the minds of parents especially for the girls’. The Planet Mars seems to be especially harsh on girls and their proposal is either discarded or selected with utmost care.

The planet Mars rules blood in our bodies. Scientifically, if the RH factor of the bride and bridegroom are same then during childbirth, some medicine is prescribed for the girl. In earlier times, people noticed the same and avoided such proposals.

Match making should be done scientifically and kept important. The prime importance should be given to longevity. If a chart promises good longevity even if a Mangalik marries a non-mangalik, no harm is caused.

Characteristics of this Dosha:

● People of both the sexes can be Mangalik.
● The planet of Mars represents respect, energy, ego and self-esteem. Therefore one with the Mangal Dosha has a volatile temper. Mangalik individuals thus face a lot of problems in bending and adjusting with their partners.
● The energy of Mangalik individuals can be compared to that of fire. Therefore this energy needs to be used in the right direction and in doing something constructive, or otherwise they might become ruthless.
● Mangal Dosha affects the married life, mental state, and also leads to financial loss.
● If a Mangalik person is born on Tuesday the effects are nullified.
● Also the marriage between two Mangalik individuals cancels the negative effects.

How Mangal Dosha (Mangalik) is formed:

The reason for forming Mangal Dosh is the defects related to Mars. In the scriptures, Mars is considered a factor of anger, power, bravery and good luck. If the planet Mars is corrupted in the horoscope, then the person will be angry, arrogant, and powerful. If such a person is married to a non-Mangalik, then the Mangalik person will try to suppress the other partner with his passion, bravery and anger. In such a situation the marriage cannot be successful.

Astrology says that even if a Mangalik is married to a non-Mangalik, then there are tribulations and sorrows in the married life and sometimes the life partner is also left behind. In general, it is believed in Hindu society that if a boy or a girl has Mangal dosha in the horoscope and he/she is married to a non-Mangalik, then the life partner might lose his life. Astrology says it is right to get a Mangalik married to a Mangalik as the marriage of the two of them automatically ends the Mangalik Dosh, so most people choose a Mangalik life partner for the marriage of their Mangalik native.

When is Mangalik Dosh considered to be dangerous?

1. When Mars is situated in the 1st house:
   The 1st house represents the house of the spouse. Thus it normally affects married life leading to unnecessary conflicts. Both the partners shall enter into conflicts often leading to physical assault and violence. Due to such unacceptable behaviour such a person might suffer from tension, distress, separation or even divorce.
   
2. When Mars is situated in the 2nd house:
   When Mars is in the 2nd House brings a lot of troubles to the person’s family life. It also creates obstacles in married life and professional life.
   
3. When Mars is situated in the 4th house:
   When Mars is in the 4th House results in adverse results in professional life. Often people will have to shift between jobs. The final outcome shall not be satisfactory. The person shall also experience financial problems. If it is placed in the 4th house, then also sometimes the native gets married before time. But if marriage takes place at a very young age then the problems come in the marriage and they are not successful.
4. When Mars is situated in the 7th house:
   If Mars is in the 7th House makes a person highly irritable and ill tempered. Such a person has too much energy and will be ill-tempered resulting in not being able to maintain cordial relationships with family members.

5. When Mars is in the 8th house:

Some Myths regarding Mangalik Dosha:

● Mangal Dosha ends after the age of 28 years.
No, Mangal Dosha does not end after the 28th year of age. In fact, if a Dosha is present in any horoscope, it remains present for life. As per Vedic astrology, Mars enters into a different form after the 28th year of the native age. The fierceness or energy of Mars gets channelised after the 28th year, but that does not apply to marriage astrology.

You never get rid of Mangal Dosha if it is present in your horoscope. You have to take any astrologer’s guidance to deal with it.
● Can Mangalik Dosha delay the marriage?
Among the effects of Mangal Dosha, one is indeed that it can delay marriage. But, Mars does not act alone but some other planet must be acting as the sole delayer, whereas Mars may be aggravating the issue.
● Mangalik marry non-Mangalik?
A mangalik can marry a non mangalik but with utter care with the guidance of any good astrologer. So, Good consultation is highly recommended before taking any such decision.
