Manglik Dosha in Horoscope
Manglik Dosha, also known as Mangal Dosha or Kuja Dosha, is one of the most discussed topics in Vedic astrology, especially concerning marriage. This dosha occurs when Mars (Mangal) is positioned in specific houses of a person’s horoscope. Manglik Dosha is believed to create delays, obstacles, and discord in married life if not addressed with proper remedies.
Mars is the planet of Strength, Aggressiveness, Energy and its placement in different houses of a particular horoscope indicates its characteristics, depending upon whether Mars is benefic or Malefic in the Chart. A benefic Mars or exalted Mars in Capricorn makes one a balanced and decision making leader in the society. A malefic or debilitated Mars in cancer makes one uncultured and rude.
Planet Mars denotes courage, valour, anger, aggressiveness, arrogance, physical strength, risky pursuits, adultery, administrative capability, leadership, command of an army, dominance, royal pursuits, injury, surgical operations and warfare. It has a bilious constitution. It rules over the musculature and bone marrow in the body. Mars also represents the brothers or siblings of a native, as also the southern direction. Heat, summer, burns and fire are also under the control of Mars. Where the person has Manglik Dosha with malefic placement of planet, it effects each and every aspect represented by planet.
Thus how Mars will react in a particular nativity, depends entirely on the sign it occupies and the house it is placed in. Therefore there seems to be little justification in outright stamping Mars as malefic simply because it is in one of these positions of Kuja-dosha, without honestly judging the sign occupied, houses it is lording over, its strength in Sadvargas or the influence it is subjected to or is casting on the chart in general and on 7th house or the factors related/connected with marriage in the chart under consideration.
