Why Mars is not considered Manglik in own Sign/Rashi or in Exaltation.
For Aries and Scorpio ascendants(Mars is Lagna Lord), in sign of exaltation(Capricorn) Mars becomes Functional benefic so will give auspicious results wherever he is placed. An Lagna lord does not give malefic results in an obvious way. So for these two ascendants, the ‘Manglik’ dosha does not exist. There will be aggression but as the lagna lord, will also give some ability to utilize these energies in the best possible manner.
If Mars is in his own sign (Aries, Scorpio) or his sign of exaltation (Capricorn) and placed in Kendra(1,4,7,10) from ascendant RUCHAK YOGA is formed. Depending upon the relevant factors in Chart, grant happiness and fortune. The aggression of Mars will be utilised productively.
Why some consider Mars in 2nd House forms MANGLIK DOSHA:
Signification of 2nd house in respect to Marriage : Family, Wealth, Speech, Planning of Budget.
Marriage and family are connected to each other. Successful marriage lies in the root of a good family. Mars is a natural malefic placed in 2nd house can give issues related to all these significances. Like problem related to money, harsh speech, unnecessary arguments and disputes in the family due to its aggressive and impulsive nature. A malefic Mars affects the relations of a native with family members. There may be a constant difference and anxiety between the couple. Can also cast negative instinct in children .As Mars from the 2nd house aspects the 5th, 8th and 9th house, may cast negative impact on the significance of these houses pertaining to marriage.
5th House of Love and Children.
8th House of sexual relationship and longevity of husband.
9th House of Fortune, ethics and wisdom.
Love, Commitment, and Friendship: The Foundations of a Successful Marriage
When these four houses(5th,7th, 11th,12th ) are not in harmony, one may face:
Romance without commitment, a whirlwind of passion without staying power.
Commitment without romance, a marriage of duty not joy.
Friendships without bond, a lonely union despite social circles wide.
Karmic bonds without connection, past lives collide in present discord.
These imbalances may lead to turmoil, loneliness, and disconnection within the marriage, challenging the foundations of a harmonious union.
Key Astrological Combinations for Inter-Caste Marriage:
- Influence of Rahu on the 7th House or Venus:
- If Rahu is placed in or aspects the 7th house or Venus, it can indicate a marriage that defies traditional norms, including inter-caste marriages. Rahu represents the unconventional, and its influence brings unusual or non-traditional relationships.
- Rahu in the 12th House:
- Rahu in the 12th house of the horoscope may indicate a spouse from a different caste, culture, or even a foreign background. The 12th house is associated with foreign lands and distances, which can translate into a marriage outside the native’s community.
- Venus in a Dual Sign:
- Venus placed in a dual sign (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, or Pisces) can indicate flexibility in relationships and sometimes suggests a marriage with someone from a different caste or background.
- Affliction to the 7th Lord:
- If the 7th lord is afflicted by malefic planets like Rahu, Ketu, or Saturn, it may indicate marriage outside the traditional norms, possibly leading to an inter-caste marriage.
- Influence of Saturn and Rahu on the 7th House or Venus:
- Saturn and Rahu together influencing the 7th house or Venus can indicate a strong possibility of inter-caste or non-traditional marriage, as both planets are known for creating situations that challenge societal norms.
- Moon and Venus in Mutual Kendra (1st, 4th, 7th, 10th houses) with Rahu/Ketu:
- When Moon and Venus are in mutual Kendra positions with the involvement of Rahu or Ketu, the native may be inclined towards a marriage that is unconventional or outside the caste.
- Navamsa Chart (D9):
- If the 7th lord of the Navamsa chart is associated with Rahu or Ketu, or if there is an exchange between the 7th lord of the Rasi chart and the 7th lord of the Navamsa chart involving Rahu/Ketu, it can signify inter-caste marriage.
- Mars in the 7th House or Aspecting the 7th Lord:
- Mars, when placed in the 7th house or aspecting the 7th lord, may create situations where the native marries someone from a different caste, especially if Mars is associated with Rahu.
