Astrology is a wonderful science or rather art. It incorporates the study of the positions of the planets and the star signs. Astrology studies the effects of planets on the lives of people. In Vedic Astrology, five planets are considered to be cruel as they have bad effects on the lives of people which they govern. These are Mars, Saturn, Sun, Rahu, and Ketu. Mars is one planet which is said to have the most severe effects on the birth horoscope of a person. It is especially harmful to married life if it is placed in an unfavorable position.

Mangal Dosha is said to be created when Mars is located in the first, second, fourth, seventh, eighth or the twelfth house in the Kundali. Mangal Dosha should be checked in Lagna Chart, Moon Chart, and Venus Chart. A person under the influence of this Dosha is said to be Manglik. Mangal Dosha is also known by the names of Kuja Dosha and Bhauma Dosha. If none of the three charts is affected by Mars then the person is Non-Manglik.

Let us now have a look at some important characteristics of Mangal Dosha:

Person of any sex can be Manglik. Mars is a symbol of respect, self-esteem, ego and energy. A person under the impact of this Dosha has a short temper. Manglik people face difficulties in adjusting with their partners. Manglik people possess tremendous energy like that of fire. This energy must be channelized in the right direction otherwise, it might lead to destruction. Mangal Dosha affects the marital bliss and mental state. It also leads to financial loss.The effects of the planet are nullified if the person is born on a Tuesday.Two Manglik people married to each other nullify each other’s effects.
