Mangal Dosha in Kundali
What is Mangal Dosha?
• Essentially, it's a condition that arises when Mars is positioned in certain houses of a person's birth chart.
• These houses are considered to be particularly influential in matters of marriage and relationships.
• Traditionally, the houses considered are the 1st, 4th, 7th, 8th, and 12th.
• The belief is that Mars, a planet associated with energy, aggression, and sometimes conflict, can bring challenges to marital life when placed in these specific positions.
How to Know Mangal Dosha present in your Kundali
Mangal Dosha (also known as Manglik Dosha or Kuja Dosha) occurs in a person's Kundali (birth chart) when Mars (Mangal) is placed in certain houses, affecting marriage and relationships. Here’s how you can check for Mangal Dosha in your Kundali:
1. Identify Mars' Position in Your Kundali
Mars is considered malefic when placed in any of the following houses:
• 1st House (Lagna/Ascendant)
• 2nd House
• 4th House
• 7th House
• 8th House
• 12th House
If Mars is present in any of these houses in Lagna Kundali (D1 Chart) or Navamsa (D9 Chart), it indicates Mangal Dosha.
2. Check for Partial or Full Mangal Dosha
• If Mars is alone in these houses → Full Mangal Dosha.
• If Mars is conjunct with benefic planets (Jupiter, Venus, or Moon) → Partial Mangal Dosha or may get canceled.
3. Consider Planetary Aspects and Remedies
• If Mars is in its own sign (Aries, Scorpio) or exalted (Capricorn), the dosha may be weakened.
• If Mars is aspected by benefic planets (Jupiter, Venus, Moon), the dosha’s effects may be reduced.
4. Mangal Dosha in Both Kundalis
• If both partners have Mangal Dosha, it cancels out and has no major effect on marriage.
5. Check Dosha Cancellation (Mangal Dosha Parihara)
Mangal Dosha can be nullified in some cases, like:
• Mars in Cancer, Leo, Sagittarius, Pisces is less harmful.
• If Mars is in 2nd house in Taurus or Libra, the Dosha is weak.
• If Mars is in 8th house in Gemini or Virgo, the Dosha is weak.
