Questions
About Manglik dosha
What it is and why it is often less serious than people fear.
What is Manglik dosha?
A chart is called Manglik when Mars sits in the 1st, 4th, 7th, 8th or 12th house from the ascendant. Tradition links this placement to friction in married life. Some South Indian traditions add the 2nd house.
Do you count from the Moon and Venus too?
This check follows the classic rule and counts from the ascendant, which decides whether a chart is Manglik. Some astrologers also count from the Moon and Venus; Siddhesh looks at those in a consultation.
Can Manglik dosha be cancelled?
Yes. Mars in its own sign or exalted, Mars in certain signs for a given house, or Jupiter joining or aspecting Mars are among the traditional cancellations. Marrying another Manglik is also considered balancing.
Does Manglik dosha fade after 28?
A popular belief says so, but the classical texts don't. It is better to judge the actual chart than rely on age.
