What is Mangal Dosha ?What are the Effects and Remedies of Mangal Dosha ?

Mars is one of the cruel planets out of the nine assigned to judge the future of a person. Hindu Vedic astrology gives a lot of weight to this planet and when it comes to marriage, the placement of Mars is seen with great caution.

What is Mangal Dosha

If Mars is placed in any of these 12, 1, 2, 4, 7, and 8 bhava then it creates a dosha called “Mangal Dosha”. It is believed and also seen in thousands of charts that mangal dosha cause minor to grave damages in the life of couple and death is very likely outcome of this dosha.

Vedic astrologers emphasize that a person with mangal dosha should marry only a native having the same mangal dosha otherwise the marriage will not continue. He will suffer a lot in his life and also may have to see the death of the spouse or divorce or permanent separation.

These are the possibilities which are happening otherwise also but when this dosha is present in the horoscope then the chances are very strong that any of these incidents can happen with the native.

There is lot of fear in general people for obvious reasons for this dosha.

Why is it considered harmful

In Vedic astrology Mars is given three aspects which are 4, 7 and 8. It is the planet of courage and fearlessness. It is given the role of commander in the planetary cabinet. War or quarrel is his natural attribute. Harsh, rigid and dominating nature is also due to Mars only most of the times.

When mars is placed in such houses it aspects the houses related to harmonious marriage and these aspects or the placement of Mars in those houses causes the spouse or the native to be very quarrelsome and dominating.

In today`s world no one like to be dominated due to the financial independency and this in long run causes separation, divorce and physical abuse too.

Thus it is very important that one gets his horoscope checked along with the person with whom the marriage is going to be fixed.
