KUJA DOSHAM/MANGALIK - ADVERSE EFFECTS

In the traditional Hindu Astrology we come across Kuja Dosham in marriage match making and compatibility. The very word sends shivers along the spine of the opposite side. The moment they hear that Kuja Dosham exists in one chart, they drop it and say you find a match with similar Kuja Dosham. Kuja Dosham means the presence of Mars- Kuja-Mangalik- in houses 2,4,7,8,12 from Lagna as well from Moon sign is bad and will cause death or separation of spouse and hence should be avoided for marriage alliance unless both the parties have Kuja Dosham-Mangalik.

The second house from Lagna deals wealth, longevity, communication and transport and the presence of Mars - Kuja in this affects the smooth sail of life in these fields and thus may cause death or separation of spouse and hence should be avoided.

The presence of Mars - Kuja in 4th house from Lagna, the house that deals with the subjects of family, mother, and thus Mars, a harsh and fiery planet, causes danger to those fields governed by the 4th house and hence should be avoided for marriage alliance.

The 7th house from Lagna, the house of spouse and partners, should not have the presence of Mars - Kuja and if present may cause disputes and death of spouse. So an alliance with Mars in seventh house shall be avoided.

The 8th house is the house for health and death and the presence of Mars - Kuja is a potential danger to the native of the chart and hence an alliance with short life shall be avoided.

The 12th house is for health, expenditure and the presence of Mars will affect the longevity of the native and an alliance with short span of life shall be avoided.

The above are to be seen from both Lagna and Moon sign. Either is considered as Kuja Dosham.

For the above reasons an alliance having Mars placed in 2,4,7,8 & 12 are considered as people having Kuja Dosham or Mangalik and shall be avoided unless the other party is also having same Kuja Dosham-Mangalik.

However traditional Hindu Astrology has provided certain exemptions even if the Mars - Kuja placed in these houses with the following conditions.

1. If Lagna or Moon sign is Cancer or Leo or Capricorn or Aries or Sagittarius this Kuja Dosham does not apply or does not harm.

2. If Mars is in Second House and the second house is Gemini or Virgo it is to be presumed that no Kuja Dosham exists.

3. If Mars is in 12th house and the 12th house is Taurus or Libra then also he will not have the applicability of Kuja Dosham.

4. Like wise Mars in 4th house and the 4th house falls in Aries and Scorpio then Kuja Dosham does not apply.

5. If 7th house is in Capricorn or Cancer and the Mars placed in any of them, then also Kuja Dosham is not applicable.

6. If Mars is in 8th house and the 8th house falls in Sagittarius or Pisces then Kuja Dosham does not apply.

7. If Mars is associated with Jupiter (Guru/Brihaspathi) or Mars is associated with Moon or Mercury in the same sign then also Kuja Dosham is not applicable.

8. A general opinion is that if Mars is in 2nd or 12th in the male horoscope or Mars in 4 and 7 in female horoscope or Mars in 8th in either horoscope the escape from Kuja Dosham may not be available irrespective of above exemptions.

Hence traditional Hindu astrology suggests to proceed with an alliance if both the horoscopes are having Kuja Dosham/Mangalik.

However in Sayana system views on position of the Mars differs. In this regard separate articles named HUBBY HOW DO YOU LOOK LIKE? AND YOUR'S A LOVE MARRIAGE? were already placed
