In Vedic astrology, it is believed that placement of Mars in one of the houses numbered 1, 2,4,7,8 or 12 in a horoscope, where the rising sign or ascendant is taken in the first house; Manglik Dosha is formed in the horoscope. For example, if a native is born with Aries in his/her ascendant and Mars is placed in the eighth house of his horoscope in the sign of Scorpio, it is said to have Manglik Dosha formed in the horoscope.

Manglik Dosha in a horoscope can cause problems like delay the marriage of the affected native and it is said to create disturbances after his marriage. It can be of types depending on Mars placement in the house and depends on some other factors. Whereas there is clear that Manglik Dosha of very good strength supported by other malefic planets in a horoscope can create all these negative effects, these results are not frequent. Like all other yogas in Vedic astrology, Manglik Dosha is a rare concept and it doesn’t form frequently in a horoscope, it is believed to be.

If the position of Mars is in the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th, or 12th house from three charts I.e. Moon chart, Venus Chart as well as Natal Chart, then it will be high mangal dosha. The native under high mangal dosh is said to go through a lot of hurdles in their life.If the position of Mars is in the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th, or 12th from one of these charts I.e. from either Moon chart, Venus chart or Natal chart, it will be known as low mangal dosha. Natives under the influence of high mangal dosha will also go through problems but its implications will not be as severe as high mangal dosha.

Manglik Dosha And Its Effects On Marriage

Manglik Dosha is only one defect in Vedic astrology, which can cause the marriages of the natives under its impact in a negative way, and there are many others like Kaal Sarp Yog, Pitra Dosha, Nadi Dosha, and Bhakut Dosha, which said to result in equally serious problems in the marriages suffering from them.

There are many other conditions and the real scope and quantum of damage caused by Manglik Dosha when it is formed in a horoscope. Mangal means the Mars planet in English, Manglik means something related to or that is created by Mars; and Dosha means defect. As a result of this Manglik Dosha means a defect formed by Mars. As a defect is a negative word, the logical condition of defect or Dosha to form in a horoscope should be the planet causing such a defect. It is nearly unimaginable that a positive planet causes defects! Hence if Mars placed in these six houses is working positively in a horoscope, the possibility of the formation of Manglik Dosha is ruled out and Mars may form much good yoga in horoscope, including Manglik Yog.
