Mangal Dosha – Myths vs Reality
Mangal Dosha or Manglik Dosh is one of the most discussed issues in Vedic Astrology. A lot of people are scared of it, and many times it is linked with marital or relationship issues. But in reality, there are so many myths related to Mangal Dosha that the truth is hardly anything like what people imagine. At AstroParivar, we believe true guidance is not based on fear but clarity. So let’s get into the myths and realities so you know the truth.
What is Mangal Dosha?
In astrology, a Mangal Dosha is when the planet Mars (Mangal) sits in any of these houses in your birth chart – primarily, 1st, 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th or 12th house. Or, on the traditional side of things, this placement can mean hardships in marriage, relationships and occasionally career or health. In other words, it’s about Mars in your life, and it isn’t always bad. Mars is the planet of action, courage and passion. How it impacts you depends on the whole birth chart and not one placement by yourself.
Common Myths About Mangal Dosha
Myth: Manglik people can only marry other Mangliks
There are lots of people who believe that if a Manglik person marries a non-Manglik, certainly the bride or groom will expire or may have to face serious problems after marriage.
Reality: While it is very necessary to match the horoscopes of both the bride and groom, a Manglik can marry a non-Manglik provided there are no contradictory factors in their charts. Some solutions and provisions negate or minimise the effect of Mangal Dosha.
Myth: Mangal Dosha always leads to the separation or death of the spouse
It’s one of the greatest fears that people have.
Fact: A Mangal Dosha does not directly translate to tragedy. They could mean stronger temperaments, more arguments or energy in relationships. It can be balanced with patience, empathy and astrological solutions if known properly.
Myth: It affects only marriage
A lot of individuals often believe that this Dosha affects one’s wife or husband only.
The reality: Wherever Mars is in your specific chart, it can also impact energy, career and financial matters. Not all Manglik matches have the will to empower their partners, often, such individuals are much more ambitious and resolute themselves, which can be a good thing.
Myth: Harm due to Mangal Dosha is for life
Reality: Its impact may vary in different ages, planetary periods (dasha), and yogas alone or with remedies. In truth, astrologers usually comment that when a person's age is over so many years (usually 28), the effects of the Dosha become milder.
Myth: Mangal Dosha is present in a woman only.
It’s an old bias some families have.
Fact: Mangal Dosha can happen to everyone – man or woman. For any gender, astrology operates in the same way. The key, of course, is to consider the entire chart to see the full effect.
The Reality -What to do for Mangal Dosha
Analyse the full chart
One planetary placement never reveals the whole person. A good astrologer will look at other planets, aspects and positions before making an assessment.
Remedies work
There are also many pujas, mantras (prayers) and rituals like the Mangal Shanti Puja that can alleviate its negative impact. But you’ll be happy to know that gemstones or certain types of fasting can help too.
Marriage after matching charts
For marriage, the matching of horoscopes is significant to discover the harmony. Many happily married people with both Mangal dosha in their horoscopes.
Channel Mars energy positively
Mars brings passion and energy. Sport, exercise, making something new or taking on a leadership role can be ways for them to put this energy in positive directions.
Why You Should Not Fear Mangal Dosha
