There’s a well-known saying: “A known enemy is better than 1000 unknown enemies.” Humans often fear uncertainty the most. For example, the fear of darkness stems from not knowing what might be concealed within it. Similarly, in life events, knowing the causes, especially for misfortunes, provides a sense of control. This is where astrology plays a role. It reveals the underlying reasons behind troubles or misfortunes. The positions of the planets and our karmas can significantly impact events in our present lives. This presence of Dosha in one’s Kundali reflects these influences.

“Dosha” refers to an unfavourable influence in a person’s horoscope or birth chart. These doshas arise from certain unfavourable planetary positions or combinations, among other reasons. They influence various aspects of a person’s life. Some of the major doshas are Kaal Sarp Dosha, Mangal Dosha or Manglik Dosha, Shani Dosha, Rahu-Ketu Dosha, and Chandra Dosha. Here, we will learn about some of the most worrisome doshas one can face, how they are formed, their consequences, and, most importantly, remedies against them.   

Mangal Dosha

What is Mangal Dosha?

Mangal Dosha is formed in a person’s horoscope when Mars is placed in certain houses. These houses are the 1st, 4th, 7th, 8th, and 12th. The dosha is assessed from the Lagna (ascendant), followed by the Moon and Venus. As per Southern Indian astrology, even the positioning of Mars in the 2nd and 5th houses is also considered Mangal dosha.

Consequences of Mangal Dosha

• The 7th and 8th houses, especially with Mars, can pose relationship challenges.

• Ideally, a successful marriage avoids Mangal Dosha.

• Issues may arise if only one partner has Mangal Dosha.

• Compatibility matching is crucial for both partners with Mangal Dosha.

• Associated with delays in childbirth.

Remedies for Mangal Dosha

• Recite Hanuman Chalisa,

• Chantra the mantra “ॐ भोमाय नमः” (oṃ bhomāya namaḥ) 108 times,

• You can also conduct Manglik Dosha Nivaran Puja after consulting with an astrologer.

• Visit a temple and worship Goddess Durga, especially on Tuesdays.

Shani Dosh

What is Shani Dosh?

According to astrology, the Shani Dosha is considered to be the most painful of all types of doshas. If there is a combination of Shani Dosh in a person’s horoscope or Saturn is situated in the wrong house in the horoscope, then the person himself sees the symptoms of Shani Dosh. 

Consequences of Shani Dosh

• Negative energy develops in life.

• There are hindrances in the job and the person’s health does not support you.

• Because Shani is the Lord of the Gods, its effect lasts for the entire time.

Remedies for Shani Dosh

• Donate to the poor on Saturdays and provide them with clothing and food.

• Feeding gram laddoos to black dogs accelerates Saturn-related businesses.

• Observe a fast on Saturdays; have a meal only after sunset.

• Serving cows pleases Lord Saturn.

• Avoid buying any metal or plastic items on Saturdays or during New Moon days.

• Light a lamp under the peepal tree on Saturdays during the evening, using sesame oil. Add a bit of black sesame oil to the lamp.

• After sunset on Saturdays, worship and seek blessings from Lord Hanuman, and recite the Hanuman Chalisa 3, 7, or 11 times.

Kaal Sarp Dosha

Cause of Kaal Sarp Dosha

Kaal Sarp Dosha is caused by the positioning of Rahu and Ketu in a person’s birth chart. If all seven major planets are within the axis of Rahu and Ketu, Kaal Sarp Dosha arises. This dosha can have adverse effects on various aspects of life, such as jobs, money, personal life, marriage, and health.

Consequences of Kaal Sarp Dosha

The seven major planets in astrology are the Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn. The presence of Kaal Sarp Dosha is believed to hinder the effective results produced by these planets. You can get help from expert astrologers at NamoAstro to identify the presence of this dosha in their kundali.

The Dosha is said to particularly impact married life, leading to issues like arguments and ego-related problems over time. For instance, if someone has Capricorn as their zodiac sign with Rahu in Lagna (1st house) and Ketu in the 7th house, along with the other major planets positioned within the axis of Rahu and Ketu, it may create challenges in relationships and business partnerships.

In terms of job and career, the Dosha can affect the 10th house, which represents job and reputation. For example, if Cancer is in the Lagna (1st house) and Rahu is in the 4th house (Libra) while Ketu is in the 10th house (Aries), along with other planets within the Rahu-Ketu axis, it may have negative effects on the individual’s job prospects.

Remedies for Kaal Sarp Dosha

• Recite Durga Chalisa.

• Perform Kaal Sarp Dosha nivaran puja

• Recite Hanuman Chalisa.

• Perform Homa for Rahu and Ketu on Tuesdays.

• Worship Goddess Durga and Lord Ganesha.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can a Manglik marry a non-Manglik?

A: Yes, a person with Manglik Dosha can marry a non-Manglik. The compatibility of a Manglik with a non-Manglik can be influenced by the overall planetary positions and aspects in both individuals’ horoscopes. If the planetary placements in the non-Manglik’s horoscope harmonise well with the Manglik’s chart, it can help mitigate the potential challenges associated with Manglik Dosha. It’s advisable to consult with a knowledgeable astrologer for a more detailed analysis of specific horoscopes and personalised guidance. However, astrology experts usually recommend that only a Mangalik should marry a Mangalik.
