Understanding Mars Affliction in Vedic Astrology
Manglik Dosha (also called Mangal Dosha or Kuja Dosha) occurs when Mars (Mangal) is placed in the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th, or 12th house of the birth chart. It is said to affect marriage harmony.
1st House (Lagna): Affects overall married life. 2nd House: Affects family and finances. 4th House: Affects domestic happiness. 7th House: Most critical — directly affects spouse. 8th House: Affects longevity of spouse. 12th House: Affects physical relationship. Note: Some traditions consider only 1, 4, 7, 8, 12 (not 2nd house).
Manglik Dosha cancels out in several situations: Both partners are Manglik. Mars is exalted (in Capricorn) or in its own sign (Aries/Scorpio). Jupiter or Venus aspects Mars. Born on Tuesday. Mars is in the signs of the 7th lord. Waxing Moon (Shukla Paksha) birth in some traditions.
Manglik marrying Manglik (ideal). Kumbh Vivah (marrying a peepal tree or idol first). Vishnu Puja and reciting Mangal Stotra. Wearing red coral (Moonga) after consulting a Jyotishi. Fasting on Tuesdays and worshipping Lord Hanuman.
