Understanding Planet Mars
Mangal
is red hot planet and known as commander among all the nine planets.
Mars Being a planet of fiery nature he deals in combat , energy ,
strength (physical) and power, Mars has command over our blood and
muscles of our body. Mars also represents younger brother , sexual
strength and passion, because of his connection with aggression and
power natives with strong mangal in horoscope are found courageous and
strong in confidence, He rules over the 3rd house of horoscope who rules
the start of any work (initiatives, decision taking by natives) , How
fast one can take any action.
People
with strong Mars are often found in defense services, Police or such
kind of job where muscle power is needed importantly. Among 12 signs
Mars is the Lord of Arise (mesh) and Scorpio (Vrishchik) , Fighter mars
gets exalted (uchha ) i.e. became very strong in enemies sign (Capricorn
– makar rasi, lorded by rigid saturn) and becomes debilitated (very
weak ) in sweet and cool watery sign Cancer (karka rasi, lorded by sweet
moon). Only A great fighter can have such kind of nature. Main deity of
Mangal is Lord Hanumanji, Maa Durga and Mother Baglamukhi. Ruling
Direction of Mangal is south. Mars is known as son of mother ear th
that’s why his another name is Bhumi Putra .
What is Mangal Dosha
This
is very unfortunate that without understanding the logic and updating
ourselves on astrology we take the decision for two lives, We react very
smart while choosing clothing, party arrangements and other things
related to marriage but decession on horoscope matching and mangal dosha
issues taken by own without any expert advise, without expert guidance
either we select a imperfect match or we loose a perfect match . We
have always been misguided on mangal dosha front by most of the so
called professional family pundits who take undue advantage of our faith
on them. Mangal dos ha in not bad as it has been shown to us , It is a
dur yoga (Bad yoga) , which can harm in very few cases , it is not very
harmful every time. It can never be came the cause of deat h for any
(husband or wife) , that an astrologer must judge the s ad events from
their horoscopes , only one planet can not be the responsible.
One
more belief on mangal is not logical of giving delays in marriage and
such natives got married after 28 years only. It always depends up on
7th house , his lord and karaka of the 7th house, if mangal is aspecting
as lord of 7th house or deeply connected with 7th house then only he
can be claimed as responsible planet.
Mangal
dosha forms when mangal placed in 1st, 4th, 7th, 8th or 12th house of
the horoscope, some of the south Indian astrologers include 2nd house in
this list.
1st
house(Lagna) deals in self, own personality and body , placement of
Mars here makes a person practical, energetic, dominating , passionate
and aggressive, most of the times involves in disputes, sometimes makes
accident prone . Mars directly aspects 7th house (spouse –marriage) and
becomes the reason for dominating towards spouse or put him in disputes
with spouse.
Mangal
deals in energy and his placement in any house indicate towards area
of consumption of energy. If he comes in 4 th house then native spends
most of his/her energies in home or ho me affairs , most of the times
this yoga becom es the disputes and fights among the family members, He
again aspects 7th house of marriage and spouse and involves spouse in
his issues. Apart from a dur yoga it is very good yoga for land and
properties.
7th
house deals in marriage, relationships and physical relationships ,
being his presence here it is considered that hotness and aggression of
mars can spoil th e beauty of this 7th house . Mars is always connected
with violen ce and accidents that’s why scriptures have indicated
towards the possibility of such negative happenings .
Eighth
house is the ho use of Major accidents , death and long term health
issue , this house also shows the length of married life, Mars being a
violent planet increases the possibility of negative events (without
benefic aspect and in case w hen yogas for such events are placed i.e. o
ne can not claim another horoscope for such happenings) . Most of the
times he spoils the relationship.
12th
house of chart deals in losses , secret enemies, secret desires and
pleasure of bed , native with such posit ion of mars may became very
introvert , even depressive during negative dashas . he may not be able
to so close and open to tell hi s/her partner , he may have secret
relationships , 7th house again get aspect of mars from this position.
Now
the facts most of t he people are unaware for , These are the yogas who
destroys the negativity of mangal dosha (cancellation of manglik
dosha)..if some one has mars placed in 1 st or 7th house the another
horoscope should never have same posit ion of mars , Mangal dosha will
be cancelled only when mars is placed in opposite house , for exam ple
if one has in 1 st then another should have in 7th or wise versa.
- Sun , Saturn and rahu also considered melafic planets, Natives with Mangal dosha can also be married to natives who carries presence of these planets in respective houses, better if found in opp. Ho use for example if one has mars in 1st then he can marry to a person with Saturn or sun in 4th or 7th house .
- Jupiter is most satvik planet , his blessings is enough to remove any dosha or evil from the horoscope , if his aspect on M ars or his presence is enough to remove the Manglik dosha, Light of Jupiter on Mars removes all the evils or negativity from the Mars.
- First is important to check the presence of such yoga in both horosc ope who can destroy the marital peace, even all the areas o f life should be examined carefully of both horoscope who can affect partner’s life .
- 7 th house of horoscope deals in marriage and spo use, Venus is the karak a for the happy married life and pleasure of bed and Jupiter’s blessings is the important to have peaceful and healthy married life, presence of both in Kendra or trikona removes the manglik dosha.
- If Mangal in a horoscope is placed in 1 st house in mesha or in 4 th in vrishchik , 7th in taurus, makar or karka , 8th in kumbh or meena , or dhanu in 12th does not produce evil, Those charts does not comes under category Manglik horoscope.
- If Dispositor of Mang al i.e. lord of the sign in which mangal is plac ed , is placed in Kendra or aspacted by the Jupiter then also evil elements of Mangal gets removed.
Match
making is the most important step bef ore fixing the marriag e and
should be taken very seriously , another areas what you take seriously
ar e part of marriage celebrations but real celebration starts only
after selecting a right match, so horoscope matching should be given the
1st priority .
