Mangalik or Mangal Dosh is common cause in India for delays in Marriage. People are scared when they see Mangalik horoscope. There are lot of confusions over this topic and most of the time astrologers have their opinion about it, which differs from one astrologer to other. So today we will see what exactly is these Mangal or Manglik horoscope.

First of all we need to know that which horoscope is considered as Manglik. For this check the lagna kundli and in it if 1^st house, 4th house, 7^th house, 8^th house and 12^th house has Mars placed in it then we call it as a Mangalik horoscope. Some people in south India also considers that if Mars sits in 2^nd house it is also a Manglik horoscope.

Now next thing is whether the Manglik and Mangal Dosh are one and the same. The answer to this question is certainly No.These are 2 different things actually and they are being used together by many astrologers which creates a lot of confusions among people.

So we know that which is Manglik horoscope from the above discussion, now what makes this Manglik horoscope a Mangal dosh horoscope. For this there are few rules which are as follows:

1. When the Mars in the above houses is afflicted by malefic planets like Saturn, rahu, ketu.
   1. When the Mars in the above houses is afflicted by Functional Malefics like the rulers of 6^th house, 8^th house or 12^th house.
   2. When the dispositer of mars is in bad position. For example Mars is in 7^th house in Virgo, and the dispositer of Virgo i.e Mercury is ill placed in 6^th, 8th, 12^th house.
   3. One more important point in this regard is to see degrees at which Mars is placed. In this regard it is said that first 15 degrees of Odd signs are rule by hora of sun, and 2^nd 15 degrees of even signs are rule by hora of sun, so if mars is placed in the above houses and if it is in hora of Sun then naturally it is Hot and capable of giving results associated with the Mars.

Now there are also confusion that Mars at some position doesn’t creates mangal dosha even if sits in the 12^th, 1st, 4th, 7th, 8th houses. Also some people say that if sits with Jupiter than there is no dosha, and lot more conditions are discussed in public to prove that particular horoscope is not a Manglik horoscope. We will clarify this concept.

For these see what are the qualities of Mars, which are fighting, quarrel, domination, war etc. which are considered negative from the marriage perspective. Now see that when Mars will be able to do more of this in a horoscope, naturally when he is strong, having effect of malefic planets, right. Now when Mars will not be able to do such things, see below:

1. When Mars is combust i.e when it is close to Sun, significance of Mars is lost.
2. When it is debilitated, i.e when it does not have power.
3. When it is retrograde motion, in retrograde motion the original significations of planet are not that effective.
4. When it is aspected by benefic Jupiter, Venus, Moon. Then also negative significations are reduced.
5. When the Mars is sitting with benefic Planets.
6. When Mars is yogakaraka planet, i.e ruling Kendra or trikona houses simultaneously, this happens in the case of Leo and cancer Ascendants people.
7. When it is lagna lord, which is Aries and Scorpio.

So in the above cases we can say that the significations of Mars as a Malefic are reduced to a considerable degree, and hence it is not considered as ill or harmful from the marriage perspective.

There is also one exception which most commonly people used to cancel Mangalik yoga, which is the position of Saturn. It is said that when Saturn is in specific houses it cancels manglik yoga, these are given below:

Saturn in 5^th house:  Aspects 7^th house, 11^th house, 2^nd house

Saturn in 7th house: Aspects 9^th house, 1^st house, 4^th house

Saturn in 8th house: Aspects 10^th house, 2^nd house, 5^th house

Saturn in 10^th house: Aspects 12^th house, 4^th house, 7^th house

Saturn in 12^th house: Aspects 2^nd house, 6^th house, 9^th house

Now the logic which is given behind this is that from these positions Saturn either sits in 7^th house or aspecting 7^th house and 2^nd house. Now as we all know 7^th house is a house of marriage, and 2^nd house is a house of Family, so when Saturn aspects this houses it is said that manglik yoga gets cancelled , which I think is not correct totally because merely by aspecting a particular house by Saturn how can that situation is eliminated completely, important to see here that Saturn is only aspecting houses and not Planet Mars.

In matchmaking also people see the Saturn position as a remedial measure for Mars, particularly while matching Manglik and Non Manglik horoscopes, which does not work as per my analysis. That is in that cases also it cannot completely guard against the aspects of Mars on important houses from marriage perspective which are 7^th, 8^th, 2^nd.

What I mean to say here is that the manglik situation or Mangal dosh situation cannot be justified completely from the Saturn’s aspect on houses or its position. It only provides some level of protection. So it is better if a Manglik horoscope is match with another Manglik horoscope for better synergy of horoscopes. Also as Mars represents energy it is better if we match horoscopes when both persons have manglik energy in their charts.  It is only when the energy gets neutralised in the chart of the 2 people and ill effects gets nullified.

So does it mean that Manglik cannot marry Non manglik at all, the answer to this is clarified from the below points.

1. If 7^th lord is strong, and 7^th house is aspected by benefics.
2. If any of the cancellation rules applies to mars. I.e if Manglik situation is cancelled.
3. If other points like gunas, 36 points etc are matching.

Hope this will clarify your doubts on mangal dosha
