Mangal Graha (Mars Planet) in Vedic Astrology

The Planet of Energy, Action & Courage

Introduction to Mangal Graha

In Indian Vedic Astrology, Mangal (Mars) is known as the fiery planet of energy, strength, bravery, and aggression. It signifies courage, assertiveness, military strength, willpower, and physical vitality. Mangal plays a key role in determining a person’s drive and ability to take initiative.

Astrological Significance

Mangal represents the Fire element (Agni Tattva) and rules over the zodiac signs Mesha (Aries) and Vrishchik (Scorpio). It is considered a malefic planet, especially when afflicted, and is strongly associated with conflicts, property, siblings, and ambition.

Positive Traits of a Strong Mars

• Bravery, leadership, and confidence
• Strong physical and mental energy
• Quick decision-making and execution
• Winning attitude and competitive spirit
• Technical and engineering skills

Effects of a Weak or Malefic Mars

• Anger issues, impulsiveness, or violence
• Conflicts in relationships and marriage (Mangal Dosha)
• Accidents or injuries due to rashness
• Lack of motivation and courage
• Land/property disputes

Mangal Dosha (Manglik Dosh)

When Mars is placed in certain houses (1st, 4th, 7th, 8th, or 12th), it creates Mangal Dosha, especially influencing marriage and partnerships. It can cause delays or difficulties in marriage if not remedied through rituals or matched horoscopes.

Remedies for Afflicted Mars

• Worship Lord Hanuman or Lord Subramanya (Kartikeya)
• Chant Mangal mantra: "Om Angarakaya Namah"
• Recite Hanuman Chalisa on Tuesdays
• Donate red lentils, jaggery, or red clothes on Tuesdays
• Wear a Coral (Moonga) gemstone after expert consultation

Mars and Career

A strong Mangal supports careers in defense, police, surgery, engineering, sports, real estate, and construction. It helps in overcoming opposition and attaining quick results through aggressive strategies.
