Whenever people consider Janampatris for marriages, their top priority is to know whether the native (boy or girl) is MANGLIK (blemished by MARS) or not. If it turns out to be one from it, then what will be the remedial aspect for it, what prayer should they perform, whom should they calm the GOD or the person, so and so forth becomes their concern. The parents or any person dealing with this is not at fault. There are many myths about this genre with no proper explanation as to what is what and how it works in one’s life, which acts as a fuel for them to think the otherwise scenario.
MANGLIK DOSHA or MARTIAN BLEMISH means the placement of the planet MARS in a certain position in native’s horoscope, that may affect his/her married life. These positions are 1-4-7-8-12. (Though, if MARS is exalted or debilitated with its placements in these houses, then the native won’t be considered as a MANGLIK. Exalted sign for MARS is CAPRICORN and debilitated sign for MARS is CANCER.) Also, this is considered in respect of the Ascendant; the Moon sign; planet Venus(for males); and planet Jupiter(for females). The reason for doing the matching from these four aspects are:
A. Ascendant stands for the native’s overall life.
B. Moon sign stands for the different thinking pattern of the native’s mind. {and this is the most important part from which MANGLIK DOSHA should be considered}
C. Venus, as it is the prime significator of marriage. It indicates all sort of pleasures that a human may have in their respective lives. As well as the significator of WIFE and MARRIAGE for males.
D. Jupiter, as it is the prime significator of harmony and understanding that a person may possess. It is the significator of HUSBAND and MARRIAGE for females.
{P.S. Venus and Jupiter are both important planets that must be considered from both the charts of male as well as female. As they both are very important aspects of matchmaking. The negative impact of MARS in the chart tends to decrease, if it is aspected by the planet VENUS or JUPITER. Also, most importantly VENUS should not be in Saturn’s Rashis or signs, ie, in CAPRICORN or AQUARIUS, and also in its
You will all be in a shock to know that more than 70% of the population on this planet are blemished by MARS. So, is it that everyone has to suffer from the effect of MARS. All of us have some problem or the other, but MARS is not the only reason for it, there are a lot many aspects of viewing the horoscope of the native.
The word MANGLIK DOSHA or MARTIAN BLEMISH is considered to be very scary. But, it will be better to understand the nature of the planet MARS as well as the nature of the houses it connects with before getting scared of it. MARS stands for STRENGTH, AGGRESSION, FIGHTING ZEST, DETERMINATION, BRUTAL DESIRES, and ANIMAL INSTINCTS. The houses mentioned above stands for:
1 – Native’s life as a whole
4 – the native’s Thought process; Bedroom life
7 – Marriage Partner
8 – Sex life; length of Martial Bond
12 – Sexual bond and Sexual pleasure
{It is better to mention here that these houses are very important for marriage matchmaking.} Now, when MARS is directly related with these above-mentioned houses(as in, placed in these houses), it will create restlessness; speediness; impulsiveness in the matters that the house govern. If it is placed in the 1st house, it will aspect the 4th – 7th – 8th houses; if it is placed in the 4th house, it will aspects the 7th – 10th – 11th houses; if it is placed in the 7th house, it will aspects the 10th – 1st – 2nd houses; if it is placed in the 8th house, it will aspects the 11th – 2nd – 3rd houses; and lastly, if it placed in the 12th house, it will aspects the 3rd – 6th – 7th houses. With each of its placements, it is affecting the house where it is placed as well as where it is aspecting. Minimum one and maximum two of the houses that is essential for marriage and to calculate its harmony, which is getting affected by MARS. This all adds in risking the actual interest of the married life, as in, through over gratification of sex appetite; exceed the limit of humanity, as in, get physically violent, if they don’t get their desired amount of sex from their respective partner; brutal or animal-like desires for physical intercourse; living their life in an unprincipled way; violent attitude; and furious mood due to extreme passionate disposition of such individuals.
This is the sole reason why astrologers advise the native’s parent as well as to the individual to get them married to another Manglik or martian blemished person. As they both can understand and fulfill each other desires without giving any harm to their married life.
Still, many marriages suffer. For what reason? If both of the married partners are Manglik and got married, then why are they suffering, they should be enjoying their life, but in reality, it is not happening at all.
In several astrological classics, authors have mentioned that SATURN – SUN – RAHU – KETU, and MARS are considered to be the evil planets. Now, a very relevant question arises, Is MARS the only cruelest planet of them all? And the answer to it is NO. All these planets have a negative influence; any form of their association with any houses or other planets will create difficulty for the native in that particular aspect of life. Here, it is married life which we are considering and all the other houses which are important for its calming result in life. They all too indicate unpleasant happenings in the native’s married life, the more the association of these planets the more of the negative influence of it will be on the native’s married life.
As an astrologer or someone who can study the horoscope for their own knowledge and intelligence should understand and consider these planets, the 1st house and the 7th house in the native’s horoscope. But, the most important considerations must be given to the 7th house in the native’s horoscope; the 7th house from his moon sign; VENUS for males; and JUPITER for females.
If the 7th house; its lord(for both the charts) and the significator of marriage and their life partner for the native is afflicted by any of these evil planets, then the married life is to be considered problematic as well. But, the degree of problems and sufferings are related to the amount of association 7th house; its lord; and its significator has with these evil planets.
I know this is not the answer that you all were looking for in this article. But, I felt to mention it here, because it is important to understand that it is not only MARS which is responsible for the sufferings there are other things also to look out for.
But, still, my question points to why only MARS and not any other planet is given such importance of a yog. I have asked this to my Guruji, to which he replied saying:
Firstly, MARS stands for the physical strength any human being can hold and this inner strength helps the person to understand his mind, pleasures, needs, wants, so and so forth.
Secondly, he said, looking MARS from aspects in a native’s horoscope helps to understand the power of MARS as a whole, ie, is the native in question is physically strong enough for the intercourse. From ascendant, it denotes a native’s physical strength; from the moon sign, it denotes native’s mental strength.
Thirdly, he said, all of this combined with the martial houses tells you the bond of the married couple.
In nutshell, it comes down to that been a Martian Blemished or Manglik child is not a curse, but with proper consideration and knowledge, one can overcome with the delusions that have been created over it.
