When the planet Mars or Mangal is placed in the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th, or 12th house in a horoscope, it is said to cause Mangal dosha. The person is referred to as Manglik. This placement can affect an individual’s marital life due to the characteristics of Mars. However, Manglik dosha, Mangal dosh or Kuja dosha needs thorough analysis before being confirmed. There are various mitigating factors, and a good astrologer will always look for the exact interpretation rather than scare the individual with dire prospects. So, make sure you seek the counsel of an ethical and learned astrologer.
