Manglik Dosh and Its Emphasis on Kundali Matching

Manglik Dosha: It is believed that astrology is the combination of Science and Art because it includes the elements of both the branches along with intuitional knowledge of an astrologer. Both these branches prove their importance on different aspects of astrology. 

At one side astrology is a science that deals with the astronomy or mathematical part and intelligence imparted in the subject and on the other side it is also an art when it deals with prediction and reading part of horoscopes based on the astrological principles. Both the braches completes each other when it comes to the prediction of any astrological event.

In Indian Culture, the importance of 16 Sacraments (Sanskar) is known to all, which starts from conceiving and completes after the death of a native. One of the most important sacrament or Sanskar is Marriage. It is considered very auspicious as well as important because this sacrament keeps the generations on in this world. Marriage is not just meant to fulfil the personal desires and requirements but also to ensure a responsible generation. Hence Marriage in Indian Culture is not only a ritual of physical and mental relation but it also considered a very sacred bond. As Marriage is a very important part of an individual’s life, therefore parents fixes the marriage of their children after considering so many factors to ensure a blissful and everlasting Marriage leading to happiness, peace, harmony and prosperity.

The two major factor which majority of Indians consider before finalizing the marriage are Kundali Matching (Kundali- Milan or Gan/Gun Milan) and secondly but most importantly Manglik Dosha. In this article we will talk about Manglik Dosha and its emphasis on Kundali Matching. 

Traditionally according to Vedic Astrology, kundali Matching is done prior marriage in which the significance of Nakshatra and Moon Sign is very high. The kundali Matching as per Vedic Astrology is commonly known as Ashtkoot Milan. In most of the cases the Ashtkoot Milan suggests that Marriage is preferable but Manglik Dosha does not allows the same. So Let us talk About the Manglik Dosha.

MANGLISH DOSHA

In Scriptures Manglik Dosha is defined as:

Lagne vyaye ch patale jamitro chashtame kuje |

Shtri bharturvinashanch bharta ch stri vinashanam ||

The placement of Mars in the Lagna, Fourth, Seventh, Eighth and Twelfth house of a boy or a girl creates Manglik Dosha or Kooj Dosha, and it is considered malefic and painful for family and marital happiness of the family. Generally in the consideration of Manglik Dosha, the placement of Mars is  analysed from the lagna but in many scriptures and literatures, it can be analysed from Moon and Venus also.

If any of the native has the similar placement of Mars in his chart, then the native is advised to marry an individual with the same dosha. Many learned astrologers and experts have different opinions about the Manglik Dosha which tells us about the malefic and adverse or ill effects of Mars on the marriage, marital life and the family life.

EFFECTS OF MARS IN DIFFERENT HOUSES

Generally Mars is considered a malefic and cruel planet and it is believed that the ill placement of Mars in any house destroys the good results of the house as well as the house where this ill places Mars aspects.

Lagna: If Mars is not well placed in Lagna, then it affects the health and behaviour of the native. The aspect of Mars on 4^th house adversely affects the happiness and peace of the family. Its aspect on 7^th house creates issues related to marriage and its aspect on 8^th house is affects the longevity of native.

Fourth: In general, it is assumed that the ill placement of Mars in the 4^th house creates an eclipse in the familiar happiness and can lead to a separation or divorce in between married couples because it is aspecting 7^th house which is 4^th from 4^th and also aspects 11^th house which is 12^th from 12^th.

Seventh: The presence of Mars in the 7^th house causes the difference between the loved ones or spouse and it created short temperedness. This is the house of marriage so it will be affected.

Eighth: The placement of Mars in 8^th house adversely affects the 2^nd and 3^rd house. 8^th and 3^rd houses are analysed for longevity so the bad placement of Mars in this house affects the age of native.

Twelfth: When Mars is ill placed in 12^th house, it reduces or destroys the bed pleasure along with the other good results of this house. As 12^th is 6^th from 7^th, it is also the house of disease for a couple and it is also 8^th from 5^th, it is also the house of child’s longevity.  Hence the bad placement of Mars here creates and all-round and multifunctional damage.
