The Terrible Effect of Mars: Understanding the Impact of Manglik Dosha
Mars, often referred to as the red planet, carries a significant influence in astrology, symbolizing animosity, anger, and virility. It governs qualities like temperament, determination, enthusiasm, security, aspiration, and consolation. Mars encourages us to confront challenges and strive for excellence, promoting assertiveness and fearless nature.
**Mars: The Warrior Planet**
In astrology, Mars is known as the planet of vitality, activity, and desire. It represents the survival instinct and can be seen as the nature of those who are the true “survivors” of humanity. When Mars is present in the Ascendant, it bestows an appearance of youthfulness. It controls enthusiasm and indicates a strong and wild sexual desire.
In India, Mars plays a crucial role in marriage as parents often consult astrologers to analyze the potential couple’s birth charts, fearing the influence of this planet on their union. It is believed that Mars’s position can determine whether a marriage will be happy or end in disgrace.
**Understanding Manglik Dosha**
Mars, representing energy and impulsiveness, can have adverse effects when it influences emotional aspects, family life, relationships, and love. This negative influence is known as Manglik Dosha.
Manglik Dosha occurs when Mars is positioned in the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th, or 12th houses from the Ascendant or the Moon.
The presence of Manglik Dosha can lead to a combative nature, excessive independence, recklessness, and even aggressiveness in our relationships.
**Issues Arising from Manglik Dosha**
Manglik Dosha can not only create issues in marital life but also disrupt marriages entirely. If left unaddressed, it can turn a married life into a conflict zone, with both spouses experiencing severe problems, and in some cases, even fatalities. The adverse effects can also extend to education, career beginnings, business, and other life aspects.
In a couple, jealousy, possessiveness, and behaving as if one is superior to the other can result from Mars’s position in specific houses or its interaction with other planets, leading to explosive conflicts and even violence.
**Who is a Manglik?**
A person with Manglik Dosha is called a Manglik and must ideally marry another Manglik to mitigate the effects of Mars and find success in their love life.
**How to Identify Manglik Dosha?**
To determine if you or your partner are Manglik, it’s essential to consult an astrologer who can create a birth chart to pinpoint the exact placement of Mars.
**Effects of Manglik Dosha on Different Houses**
**1. First House (Ascendant)**: People born with Manglik Dosha in the first house tend to experience conflicts in their relationships, often leading to physical aggression and violence within families.
**2. Second House**: Mars in the second house creates numerous issues in a person’s family life, significantly affecting both personal and professional aspects.
**4. Fourth House**: Mars in the fourth house leads to negative outcomes in one’s professional life, often necessitating a change of workplace and financial troubles.
**7. Seventh House**: Mars in the seventh house makes a person highly irritable and short-tempered, resulting in aggressive behavior. This can lead to numerous family and partner conflicts.
**8. Eighth House**: Mars in the eighth house indicates a person who is generally lazy and careless about managing finances, frequently resulting in significant financial losses.
**Solutions to Mitigate Manglik Dosha**
Several astrological remedies are used to mitigate the effects of Manglik Dosha, including donating clothes or other items to ironworkers and offering support to poor and winged creatures on Tuesdays. Traditionally, there is a practice known as “Kumbh Vivah,” a symbolic marriage with a clay pot, to avoid misfortune in marriage.
Fasting on the first Tuesday of every month during the Shukla Paksha phase and chanting the Mangal Graha Shanti mantra can also help alleviate the effects of Manglik Dosha. Daily recitation of the Gayatri mantra and the Hanuman Chalisa is recommended, and visiting a Hanuman temple on Tuesdays, making offerings, and charitable donations can also be beneficial.
