Eased by tradition

Mars in house 2 from lagna, eased by tradition.

  • The lagna is Kataka or Simha. For these lagnas Mars rules good houses and is seen as helpful.
  • Mars is in Simha or Kumbha. Some families see this as easing it. (some families)
  • From lagna: house 2

Shaded squares are the houses in this rule, counted from the lagna. Rule used: Houses 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 12, counted from the lagna only, whole-sign houses, Lahiri ayanamsa.

All the relief rules families use
  • Mars is in its own sign (Mesha or Vrischika), where it is calm and steady.
  • Mars is exalted in Makara, its best sign.
  • Mars sits in a sign that eases it for that house (2nd in Mithuna or Kanya, 4th in Mesha or Vrischika, 7th in Makara or Kataka, 8th in Dhanus or Meena, 12th in Vrishabha or Tula, 1st in Mesha).
  • The lagna is Kataka or Simha. For these lagnas Mars rules good houses and is seen as helpful. (applies)
  • Jupiter is with Mars or looks at it. Jupiter's blessing softens Mars.
  • The Moon is with Mars (chandra-mangala yoga), which many see as easing it.
  • Mars is in Simha or Kumbha. Some families see this as easing it. (applies)
  • Both partners have it: it balances out. Check this on the matching pages.

Mars stands for energy and courage. Traditions differ on the houses, the reference and the reliefs, and many families say Mars settles after the age of 28. Read this as one point for a calm family talk; the couple's understanding and care for each other matter most.

Questions people ask

What is Mangal dosha?

Mangal dosha, also called manglik, kuja dosha, chevvai dosham (Tamil) or chovva dosham (Malayalam), is a tradition in Indian astrology about where Mars sits in the birth chart. When Mars is in certain houses, families like to match the chart with care before a marriage. It is one point among many, not a judgement about a person.

Which houses give Mangal dosha?

Most families and almanacs use houses 1, 2, 4, 7, 8 and 12. The older verse lists 1, 4, 7, 8 and 12. Many Tamil and Kerala families use 2, 4, 7, 8 and 12. Pick the list your family follows; the page always says which rule it used.

From the lagna, the Moon or Venus?

The lagna (rising sign) is the main reference. Many families also count from the Moon sign and from Venus, and give the lagna the most weight. Choose Lagna and Moon, or all three, to see each one.

What are the cancellation (relief) rules?

Common ones: both partners have it; Mars in its own sign (Mesha or Vrischika) or exalted (Makara); Mars in a sign that eases it for that house; a Kataka or Simha lagna; Jupiter with Mars or looking at it; the Moon with Mars. The page lists the ones that apply to your chart.

What if both partners are manglik?

By tradition the two balance each other, and many families see this as a good pairing. You can check both people together on the marriage porutham and kundli milan pages.

I do not know the birth time. Can I still check?

The lagna needs the birth time, so the page counts from the Moon sign instead and says so. If you have a printed horoscope, choose From the chart and pick the lagna and Mars sign from it.

Does the effect end at a certain age?

Many families say Mars settles after the age of 28. It is a belief rather than a rule in the books, so it is shown as a note, not counted.

Is anything sent anywhere?

No. The planets are worked out on your phone or computer. Birth details stay on this device.
