Rules for Manglik Dosha Formation
Before understanding Manglik Dosha, it is essential to know how it forms. The following rules define its formation:
- Mars is categorized as a malefic planet in the birth chart.
- Mars is placed in the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th, or 12th house of the birth chart.
- Mars is strong and powerful in the horoscope.
The above three conditions lead to the question: "Am I Manglik?"
You might have noticed that I have included the 2nd house (2H) in Manglik Dosha. This is because, in South India, the 2nd house is also considered for Manglik Dosha, while in North India, it is not.
The 2nd house in a horoscope represents speech. If Mars is malefic here, it can make a person's speech aggressive. This aggressive nature can lead to disputes in relationships, including conflicts with a partner, leading to separation or divorce. Due to this, I have included the 2nd house in the rules for Manglik Dosha.
Rules for Absence of Manglik Dosha
Even if the above rules indicate Manglik Dosha, the following conditions can nullify its effect:
- If Mars is a yoga-karaka planet in the birth chart.
- If Mars is at 0, 1, 2, 28, or 29 degrees in the horoscope.
- If Mars is combust due to the Sun.
- If Mars is in conjunction or aspected by Jupiter.
- If Mars is in its own sign.
- 7th house rule – If the 7th house lord is placed in the 7th house or is aspecting it.

Manglik Dosha Analysis:
| Yoga Karaka | Degree | Strength | Strength | Degree | Malefic Influence |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Venus | 17° | 100% | 50% | 22° | Mars |
| Jupiter | 22° | 50% | 100% | 13° | Rahu (debilitated) |
| Saturn | 01° | 0% | 100% | 13° | Ketu (debilitated) |
| Mercury (Combust) | 27° | 0% | |||
| Moon | 15° | 100% | |||
| Sun | 19° | 50% |
In the above Libra Ascendant chart:
- Mars is categorized as a malefic planet.
- Mars is strong and placed in the 12th house.
- All conditions for Manglik Dosha are met.
However, the 4th rule states that if Mars is conjunct or aspected by Jupiter, Manglik Dosha is nullified. Here, Jupiter is conjunct with Mars in the 12th house, neutralizing the Dosha.Best Astrologer Delhi
Jupiter is a benefic planet representing family and harmony. Its conjunction with Mars eliminates the negative effects, preventing the creation of Manglik Dosha.
Example 2
| Yoga Karaka | Degree | Strength | Strength | Degree | Malefic Influence |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sun | 04° | 25% | 25% | 25° | Moon |
| Mercury | 19° | 50% | 0% | 29° | Rahu |
| Venus | 19° | 50% | 0% | 29° | Ketu |
| Mars | 08° | 50% | |||
| Jupiter | 01° | 0% | |||
| Saturn | 29° | 0% |
In the above Leo Ascendant chart:
- Mars is strong and placed in the 7th house.
- However, Mars is a yoga-karaka planet in this chart.
- A yoga-karaka planet always gives positive results and does not create Dosha.
Thus, this horoscope does not have Manglik Dosha despite Mars being in the 7th house.
Example 3
Name: Deo Prasad Ganguly
Date of Birth: 07/04/1986
Time of Birth: 11:45 AM
Place of Birth: Chirimiri
| Yoga Karaka | Degree | Strength | Strength | Degree | Malefic Influence |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mercury | 26° | 25% | 0% | 0° | Moon |
| Sun | 23° | 50% | 50% | 11° | Mars |
| Venus | 12° | 50% | |||
| Jupiter | 16° | 100% | |||
| Saturn | 15° | 100% | |||
| Rahu | 07° | 50% | |||
| Ketu | 07° | 50% |
In this Gemini Ascendant chart:
- Mars is malefic and strong.
- Mars is placed in the 7th house.
- None of the Manglik Dosha cancellation rules apply.
Thus, this horoscope has a strong Manglik Dosha. This individual experienced divorce and later had a second marriage, for which I personally matched the horoscope.
Rules for Neutralizing Manglik Dosha
Even if Manglik Dosha exists, its negative impact can be neutralized by the following rules:
- Matching 27+ Gunas – If 27 or more Gunas match during horoscope compatibility for marriage, the effects of Manglik Dosha are nullified.
- After the Age of 35 – If a person crosses 35 years of age, Manglik Dosha loses 90% of its effect. Before this age, it often causes marriage delays, court cases, divorce, or problems in childbirth. By 35 years, the negative influence fades away.
Precautions for Manglik Dosha
If you suspect that you have Manglik Dosha, even without horoscope details, you can identify it through life experiences. If you face relationship troubles, aggression, or conflicts, follow these precautions:
- Avoid Sexual Relations on Tuesdays – Never engage in sexual activities on Tuesdays.
- Control Anger – Convert anger into positive energy and focus on work. Control speech and let actions speak.
- Avoid Unhealthy Food – Do not consume food just for taste; eat only nutritious foods.
- Donate Blood – At least once a year, donate blood to a needy patient. This is the most effective remedy for Manglik Dosha.
Remedies for Manglik Dosha
If you or your partner suspect Manglik Dosha, follow these remedies:
- Marry Another Manglik – If possible, marry another Manglik person to cancel the Dosha.
- Tree Marriage – If marrying a non-Manglik, perform a ritual marriage with a Peepal tree first (e.g., Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan did this).
- Plant & Nurture Two Trees – After marriage, plant two Peepal trees and care for them until they mature.
Additional Remedies
- Chant “Om Aam Angarakaya Namah” 108 times daily.
- Donate items related to Mars on Tuesdays (red clothes, copper, lentils, food for the poor, jaggery for monkeys).
- Recite the Hanuman Chalisa daily.
- Fast on Tuesdays, consuming only milk and water.
- Meditate on the Om mantra every morning.
