Mangal dosha in horoscope

One of the biggest misconceptions and fears in the Hindu society with respect to marriage is the presence of Mangal Dosha in the natal horoscope. Mangal dosha occurs, when Mangal is placed in the ascendant, 4th, 7th, 8th or 12th house of the natal chart. However, majority of the astrologers include the 2nd house also in the Mangal dosha list. People in whose natal chart Mangal is placed in the above positions are under the influence of Mangal.

Mangal is considered to be a commander-in-chief among all planets. It symbolizes immense courage, aggression, vitality, confidence and warrior qualities. It drives the fire of independent spirit and sense of purpose among individuals.

Notions about Mangal dosha:

Some of the most common misconceptions about the planet Mangal is that if a person is born on a Tuesday, he is said to be dominated by Mangal. This, however is not true. Mangal in his own house or exaltation will considerably reduce the ill effects of the Mangal Dosha. The most famous misconception about being a Mangal is that if he/she is married to a non-Mangal, then the spouse is bound to die. The above can be seen in a few cases, where Mangal is severely afflicted; overall strength of the horoscope also needs to be checked.

Common effects with respect of Mangal in the natal chart

Mangal in the first house - quarrelsome on even minor issues; combative and dominating in relationship.

Mangal in the 2nd house - harsh speech.

Mangal in the 4th house - aggressive emotional nature, which may effect the career-front, with frequent changes in profession.

Mangal in the 7th house - a lot of energy; differences with family members.

Mangal in the 8th house - early death of the mate.

Mangal in the 12th - financial losses, many enemies and repressed anger.

According to Parasara's Brihat Parasara Hora Shastra, if Mangal is placed in the lagna, 4th, 7th ,8th and 12th houses, without any aspect or conjunction of the benefit planets, then the husband of such a women certainly have an early death. Hence it is understood that if Mangal has an aspect of a benefit or is conjunct with a benefit, then there is no dosha.

An exception to this however exists. "If a woman with the widowhood yoga marries a man with a similar yoga of loss of spouse, then such yoga will get cancelled." Hence the second exception given by him is that Mangal Dosha is canceled, if both the girl and the boy have Mangal Dosha.

Exceptions to Mangal dosha

Mangal dosha gets canceled in some special conditions as defined below:

When Mangal is in its own sign Mesha, exalted Karkataka or in the houses owned by planets considered to be his friends viz., Ravi, Guru and Chandra.

If Mangal is in the 2nd house, but in the signs of Mithuna or Kanya.

If Mangal is in the 4th house, but in Mesha

If Mangal is in the 7th house, but in Karkataka or Makara.

If Mangal is in the 8th house, but in Pisces.

If Mangal is in the 12th house, but in Vrushaba or Tula.

For Karkataka and Simha lagnas, Mangal is a yoga Karkataka and so no dosha wherever it is placed.

For Kumba lagna, if Mars is in the 4th or 8th house.

If benefic Guru or Sukra occupies the ascendant.

If Mangal is in conjunction or aspected by Guru or Chandra.

If Mangal is in conjunction or aspected by Ravi, Budha, Sani or Rahu.

Mangal Dosha is considerably reduced, if Sani aspects the houses owned by Mangal, but subject to the other planetary positions in the natal chart. Remember that even if a person has severe Mangal Dosha, after the age of 28, the effects of Mangal Dosha are reduced.

General remedies to Mangal dosha

People who are afflicted with severe Mangal Dosha should marry a person having the same quantum of Dosha. Also such people should worship Lord Hanuman daily, by reciting Hanuman Chalisa. They should visit the temple of Lord Hanuman on Tuesdays. Another remedy is to keep an idol of Kesariya Ganapati in the pooja room and worship Him everyday.
