Mangal Dosha refers to the condition where a person is born with the influence of Mars or Mangal. In various parts of India, Mangal Dosha has different names. It includes Chova Dosha, Sevi Dosha, and Kuja Dosha. Mangal Dosha can have countless negative impacts, especially in marital life. If a person without Mangal Dosha marries a person with it, their marriage might fail. Here, in this article, we will look into how Mangal Dosha happens, its different types, effects, and remedies.

As mentioned earlier, we can relate Mangal Dosha to Lord Mars. He is the commander-in-chief of the Celestial cabinet and the God of War, as per the Hindu Mythology. Lord Mars can be aggressive, and people with his presence in their Kundalini could imbibe his characteristics. Mars could be cruel and present truthful events in such a light. He is also malefic and can give the person with Mangal Dosha the ability to fight. It can be a reason that leads to conflicts between married couples.

Mangal Dosha or Kuja Dosha occurs when Mangal or Mars ascends in the first, second, fourth, seventh, eighth, or twelfth house of a horoscope chart. When Mars is present here, it can result in tension, dissatisfaction, and marital life could end as a disaster.

Types of Mangal Dosha: There are mainly two types of Mangal Dosha. They are High Mangal Dosha and Low Mangal Dosha. High Mangal Dosha refers to a condition when Mars is present in the first, second, fourth, seventh, eighth, or twelfth houses of your three charts.

The three charts include the Moon chart, Venus chart, and the Natal chart. Here, the effect of Mangal Dosha can be very high. It can also be a higher Mangal Dosha when Mars is in the 7th and the 8th houses. Dosha on the Venus and Moon chart is stronger than when it is in the Natal chart.

When it comes to Low Mangal Dosha, Mars is present in the first, second, fourth, seventh, eighth, or twelfth houses of any three charts. It could be the Natal, Moon, or Venus chart. You can have a Low Mangal Dosha when Mars is in the 1st, 2nd, 4th, and 12th houses. These are the two main types of Mangal Dosha that can affect a person.

Effects of Mangal Dosha: Mangal Dosha can have different effects based on the house in which Mars is present. If Mars is present in more than one house, then its impact can be more. Here, we will look at the effects caused by the presence of Mars in the first, second, fourth, seventh, eighth, and twelfth houses.

1. Mars in the first house can affect the spouse of the person with Mangal Dosha. It can lead to conflicts and violence in their marital life.
2. Mars in the second house can result in problems in the family. It can also cause turbulence and disturbance in your professional life.
3. Mars in the fourth house can have an adverse effect on a person's career. He or she might have to shift from one job to another due to different problems. Financial issues are yet another crisis for a person with Mars in his or her Kundalini.
4. Mars in the seventh house can cause shortness of temper, and the person could be aggressive. He or she would also have fights with their parents and loved ones.
5. Mars in the eight house can make a person lazy, reckless, and find it hard to handle finances. There are high chances for him or her to lose his or her parental properties.
