What is Manglik (Kuja) Dosha?

In Vedic Astrology, Manglik Dosha (also called Kuja Dosha or Mangal Dosha) is an important factor affecting marriage. It occurs when Mars (Mangal) is placed in certain houses in a birth chart, creating obstacles, conflicts, or even delays in marriage.

πŸ”Ή A person is Manglik if Mars (Mangal) is placed in any of these houses in the Lagna (D1), Moon (Chandra), or Venus (Shukra) chart:

  • 1st house (Ascendant)

  • 2nd house (Family & Wealth)

  • 4th house (Domestic Happiness)

  • 7th house (Marriage & Spouse)

  • 8th house (Longevity of Marriage)

  • 12th house (Bed Pleasures & Foreign Settlements)

πŸ”Ή Stronger Dosha if Mars is in 7th or 8th house, as it directly affects marriage.

πŸ”Ή Mild Dosha if Mars is in 2nd, 4th, or 12th house.
