Can Mangal Dosha or Kuja Dosha be warded off? Are Mangal Dosha remedies really effective? What causes Mangal Dosha in Kundli? Acharya Raman explains the intricacies of Kuja Dosha in lucid language in this article.
Mars is a fiery planet ruling two signs - Aries and Scorpio. It owns three constellations naming Mrigshira, Chitra and Dhanishtha. Mars is considered bad if positioned in houses 1, 2, 4, 7, 8 and 12 from ascendant, Moon and Venus. Natives with such positioning of Mars are called Manglik. It is believed that Mangal Dosha or Kuja Doahs is worst when it is from Venus than Moon and ascendant as in this way the probability of having Mangal Dosha increases three fold.
Such placements of Mars is considered bad since ages. There are many astrologers in present time who consider Mangal Dosha as non-existent, which is misleading. At the same time, I would like to state that, some of the astrologers scare people with ill-effects of Mars or Mangal Dosha. And they recommend people for Hawans, Japa and Puja etc to fill their own pockets. I believe no one can dodge fate and whatever is destined will happen. No astrologer on this planet can change it. Astrologers are meant to foretell events that will happen in native’s life.

There are remedies by which one does get relief and those remedies are applicable against some placements of Mars in Kundli, but they are not meant for everyone. Those who are bound to get relief by performing remedies, reach the right person at the time of crisis and perform the suggested remedy. Others wander here and there on the doors of many astrologers and saints without any result. Had remedies been so powerful to cure everyone then this whole world would have been tension-free and full of joy, but we know that reality is exactly opposite.

Mars is fiery, aggressive and fighter planet. It is considered as commander in the planetary government. People having Mars in ascendant lose temper soon, are willing to quarrel and enjoy it. In second house, the speech of the native gets foul and invite problems for himself or herself. In 4th house, Mars aspects the 7th house which is prime house of marriage and, if malefic for the person, the marriage is bound to suffer. In 8th house, Mars causes widowhood and in 12th house end of marriage either by death or divorce of the partners. Such natives are married after delay. This is what is mainly told about Mars effects and this has to be seen from the ascendant, Moon and Venus equally.
Birth Details of the native is: 13-11-1974, 6:15 am, Ashoknagar, M.P. Mars is in ascendant. The native never enjoyed married life and dominated the partner. Hysteretic activities like inflicting injuries on self by cutting, banging head on the wall, screaming and using foul language for the partner and family were displayed. The native got married and after two years the partner left home because of such activities. Some more such cases are as follows:
As far as my opinion is concerned, Mangal Dosha or Kuja Dosha exists and should be well considered before marriage. It is my suggestion to everyone - if you are going to marry a person having Mars-Rahu, Mars-Ketu, Mars-Saturn conjunction or only Mars in aforementioned houses, it will be wise to understand and know all about that person in advance so that there are no unpleasant surprises after marriage.
As always, there are exceptions to this rule of Manglik Dosha damaging the marital life. There are some placements and positions of Mars where it does not come into full throttle and thus the native enjoys good married life. They are:
In the examples given above, there will be some having these exceptions too, but then Mars might have got afflicted due to some other reasons like Rahu (Ascending Lunar Node) or Ketu (Descending Lunar Node) affinity.
Finally, the most important thing is - those who are destined to suffer in marital life will somehow marry a native with afflictions of Mars or other planets. So, what remains is with us is caution, which is the strongest shield for us to fight against the ill-effects of Mars or Mangal Dosha/Kuja Dosha.
