Q – Sushma Mehra, Mumbai, India – Karan ji please explain manglik perspective while checking marriage compatibility?
Karan Sekhri – Manglik is a technical term used in astrology. A person has to have some basic knowledge about horoscope to check planet Mars (Mangal) position in one’s lagna or natal chart. If Mars is placed in Lagna (first house), fourth house, seventh house, eighth house and twelfth house in the natal chart then he or she is manglik. These individuals should marry those who have same Mars placement in their respective natal charts. Also if Planet Saturn in placed on the same house then it can be considered positively like for example boy’ horoscope has Mars in the fourth house so a girl horoscope should have either Mars or Saturn in the fourth house to nullify Manglik effect in marriage.
