Horoscope matching is a very important step in India for settlement of marriages. Hindu families generally act according to the dictates of the horoscope. “Manglik dosha” becomes a big issue in the settlement of marriage of a girl or a boy because it is considered to be the most important parameter in match-making. Marriages, at times, get abnormally delayed due to such problems.

The placement of “Mangal” (Mars) in the horoscope is the main parameter for consideration of “Manglik dosha“. A person can be considered “Manglik” if in his horoscope Mars is placed in the “lagna” (ascendant), the fourth house, the seventh house, the eighth house or the twelfth house. Some astrologers and astrological texts consider the second house also for judging “Manglik dosha”.

There may be reasons why these houses have been given importance in match-making. The “lagna” represents the self. The placement of Mars in the “lagna” may make a person aggressive and violent. The second house represents “kutumb” (immediate family). Placement of Mars in the second house may cause problems in adjustment with the family. The fourth house is the house of comforts. Placement of Mars in the fourth house can mar family comforts. The seventh house is the house of marriage and the placement of Mars in the seventh house may create misunderstandings in marital life. The eighth house is the house of “ayu” (longevity) and also the “suhaag bhava” (house indicating longevity of marriage). Hence, placement of Mars in this house indicates danger to self as well as spouse. The twelfth house is the house of marital happiness and placement of Mars in this house is also not considered good.

The counting of houses should be done from the “lagna“, the Moon and the Venus. With so many houses and parameters involved, it becomes hard to find a horoscope without a “Manglik dosha”. However, in case where “Manglik dosha” is severe i.e., when Mars is heavily afflicted with no benefic associations or aspect, “Manglik dosha” can cause problems in marital life.

For elaborating “Manglik dosha”, we have taken reference from “Jatak Bharnam” which happens to be a trusted astrological classic dealing in Vedic astrology. We have translated some of the verses of the book dealing with the effects of placement of Mars in the “lagna“, the second house, the fourth house, the seventh house, the eighth house and the twelfth house.

a)  If Mars is placed in the “lagna“, the native may be prone to mental illusions, may have a diseased body, may be courageous but violent and may travel far and wide.

b) If Mars is placed in the second house, the native may be poor and may keep friendship with evil-minded people. He may be devoid of wisdom, merciless and inimical to kith and kin.

c) If Mars is placed in the fourth house, the native may have problems from friends, vehicles, fear of fall from vehicles, enhancement in body disease and general weakness.

d) If Mars is placed in the seventh house, it may cause several types of sufferings. The native may have problems from enemies, unnecessary worries, body weakness and sorrows produced by attractions to opposite sex.

e) If Mars is placed in the eighth house, the native may have eye disease, bad luck, problems due to blood-related disease and inclination for mean works. It may also cause general dullness of mind and make the person critical of holy people.

f) If Mars is placed in the twelfth house, the native may have enmity with friends, eye disease and a restless body. He may indulge in unwise expenses of wealth, may lose self-esteem and suffer from bondage.

People often quote the following verse showing the veracity of the “Manglik dosha”.

“Lagne vyaye cha patale jamitre chaasthame kuje,
kanya bhartri vinashaaya bharta kanya vinaashaka”

Meaning: – If Mars is in “lagna“, fourth house, seventh house, eighth house or the twelfth house of the horoscope, the spouse (husband for a girl and wife for the husband) causes the death of the spouse.

Can Mars alone cause such tragedies in marital life? Normally, it has been observed, that if Mars is without any malefic association or aspect, it may not cause havoc in marriage. Therefore, the verse cited above cannot be followed blindly. Sometimes divorce or separation may also result from “Manglik dosha” if the afflictions are severe.

Cancellation of “Manglik dosha”:-

There are some situations in which “Manglik dosha” gets cancelled and advice for marriage may be given.

a) If there are similar afflictions in the horoscopes of the boy and the girl, the “Manglik dosha” gets cancelled.

b) If one of them has Mars in the “lagna“, second, fourth, seventh, eighth or the twelfth house and the other has Saturn or “Rahu / Ketu” in the “lagna“, second, fourth, seventh, eighth or the twelfth house, then too, the defects get cancelled.

Reduction in “Manglik dosha”:-

In some cases the effects of “Manglik dosha” get diluted considerably if other parameters of the horoscope are matching. Marriage may be recommended on such dilutions also.

a) Benefic planets in “Kendra” (quadrant) and “Trikona” (trines) increase the happiness in marital life.

b) Malefic planets in third, sixth and the eleventh house make the horoscope strong. This helps in checking the negative factors with respect to marriage.

c) If Mars is placed in its own house, it generally does not spoil it. Hence, if Mars is placed in Aries or Scorpio and placed in the “Manglik” position as described earlier, it may not harm.

d) Aspect of Jupiter on Mars or placement of Jupiter with Mars is said to reduce the “Manglik dosha”.

e) Mars placed in conjunction with Saturn or “Rahu / Ketu” is said to reduce the “Manglik dosha”. However, this is debatable as malefic associations may multiply the problems.

It remains a point of argument whether cancellation of “Manglik dosha” ensures marital happiness or only prolongs the duration of unhappy married life.

I worked in the field of clairvoyance and astrology for a long time until I retired about fourteen years ago – which was my choice- and yes I did predict it would happen!

It frightens me that there are so many so called clairvoyant and astrology sites online now, many of them frauds or incompetent but well meaning.  So I decided to take a look and see what was on offer.  I would like to be able to recommend someone now that I am retired, as I know people will always be needing expert guidance and predictions.

Many of the sites I saw were set up by people simply to sell advertising space.  Others were clearly changing their arm trying to sell so called spells that I could see did not exist.  Then there are the ones who have a reasonable reputation but not many, and their idea of a website is usually simply a sales site where you can pay now for a consultation.

I was delighted to see that Rosemary Price is still available for readings.  Delighted because I remember her from many years ago. She has been recommended by newspapers, experts, famous clients, been asked to be on television.   Totally different and far better than the other sites I looked at.  And her site is not a sales site.  It gives you a lot for free. There is a forum you can use to swap info and news with like minded people.   There are free astrology readings.  There is much more free of charge.  You can also get a job working for Rosemary if you are that way inclined, or get a personal consultation with her.  There are a lot of options.

Rosemary Price may be retiring – who knows?  It is years since I spoke to her.  So make the most of the chance to speak to her or use her site before she does.

Rosemary Price is at http://www.webclairvoyant.com

It has become a common practice for a friend of mine to check her horoscopes daily. In fact, it is the main reason why she buys the paper daily. Knowing about the latest events in the community is second place to knowing about what the day brings to her.

Thousands of years have passed since the first time humans learned to value the signs given by the skies. Ever since then, the wonders of the sky have captivated people of different genders from all races and with various ages. The stars have become a fishbowl of answers to mankind’s many questions. However, not everyone believes this. Actually, out of 6 people, five ends up in doubt about astrology and the science behind it.

Actually, it is not hard to believe one’s horoscope. It can actually end up revealing a lot about an individual’s life and overall existence. At times, it can become highly accurate that one can end up questioning why it cannot be true.

A thorough assessment of the basis of astrology makes it really something to question about. It lacks the necessary scientific background that can support its existence and believability factor. Its processes are not based on any kinds of science and organized data gathering and analysis.

All these reasons are enough to prove why every person on the face of the Earth should take some time before completely believing and actually acting out based on a specific astrological reading, no matter how good or bad, exciting or dreadful, happy or sad it might be.

In addition to the daily horoscopes in the newspapers or in magazine fillers, there are a lot of websites offering free readings for anyone who is interested. There are also services that send out daily readings to an individual’s email. Some people even pay a good amount of money for such.

To some people, whatever their horoscope reading for a specific day actually serves as a guide on what they should and should not act on for that day. Other people even choose to dress according to what their horoscope says. There are those who use their predicted lucky numbers for betting games and gambling opportunities with the hope that the predictions are going to come true.

Another very significant use of a horoscope reading is in terms of one’s relationships. Most of the freely published horoscope readings focus on an individual’s love life and what might become of it in the nearest future. This might be quite helpful since it keeps a person’s hope burning, but it can be debilitating in the way other people tend to strictly follow what the horoscope has to say.

When it comes to the question on how real horoscopes are, it really just depends on the person. Just like any other things, faith in that something is important. Hence, anyone who has faith in his ability to succeed in something is surely going to go a long way when acting upon that faith. There might be certain coincidental occasions when one’s reading is highly similar to what happens in real life, but it is actually up to the individual to believe whether that occurrence is a factor of the horoscope or a happening on its own.

As mentioned in my last article, I have done serious research on this subject. Namely, why there is birth? and death?. Why there are so many lives in earth?.

Everyone of us know well that we are going to die one day and why should we suffer from tension/diseases and other complications?.Why is that all the people work for earning millions and millions?. Why is that only some small group make huge wealth? and in spite of hard work, millions suffer even for making a penny?.

Some handful of people rule billions and billions of people and why is this happening?. These billions of people could never raise up in their life like those handful of rulers and why?.

Without knowing as to why we live and suffer, is it necessary to spend billions and billions for visiting space?, where there is absolutely no possibility of any life nor we can ever think of going there to live.

Why is that the whole world having so many research experts, educationists, top class scientists could not find out this basic truth of life?. Why no one including UN have never delivered the real solution for all the people to live happily?.

After seriously thinking on this subject and try to find out solution for all these things, I found out some answers for many mysterious happenings. In fact, I could not gather many informations about all the things,I have found out,I can say with authority that this is the only way by which we can try to find out solutions for many of our complications.

My research and serious work I did for more than 4 decades, is not  enough and I need huge details of past people lived. It means, If I have the perfect history of about 5 to 6 generations of a particular family, then I can clearly establish the reasons for individuals suffering.

Once the above steps are completed, then it is easier to find out a solution to get rid of the problems. At present I have studied about 50 families and their generations, which has consumed four decades ( and which also is not complete), and with 100% perfection, I could find out solutions for them.

Though it looks easy, it is not so,and anyone making this attempt will face severe problems on the way.It requires very soft/ slow approach to locate the origin of complications.While doing so,one should not have any egoistic or selfish approch. It is better to undergo training beforehand, so that they will not land in severe complications.

Sagittarius, the 9th sign of the zodiac, is a fire sign. It has an expansive, and spiritual nature. The nomad, the sage, the philosopher of the zodiac; Sagittarius seeks to find the meaning behind things.  It strives to understand the higher laws in their lower manifestation, and the lower laws in their higher manifestation. Athletic, and with a love of the expanse of the great outdoors, it is communicative, far reaching and loves to learn, travel and share knowledge.
Sagittarius rules the hips and thighs, but also the sight, as it is known as the ’seer’ of the zodiac. It dares to hope, to have faith and sees the bigger picture or greater meaning of things. Conversly it is over-optimistic and leaps upon an idea, biting off more than it can chew, and then has to deal with the devil-in-the-detail, which it tends to overlook.

The sign is ruled by the giant planet Jupiter, the principle of growing through experience and adventure. Sagittarians are very good at sailing close to the wind, perhaps taking a gamble, and trying out various paths or ideologies, all the while gathering experience which leads to wisdom in later years. It eventually graduates from the eternal student to the sage-mentor side of it’s nature.

People with Sagittarian characters are optimistic and good at uplifting or motivating others. This archer needs a target to aim at, without this they can feel lost and powerless, but they must learn not to rely on others to set the targets for them.  Any career where they can deliver a higher meaning or expanded view is suitable for this sign.  Teaching, humour, breaking boundaries in sport or barriers in art or religion, law or language fits well with the vibration of Sagittarius.

This sign, though, does have a clownish side to it’s nature and is connected with travelling shows like circuses and fairs where they can show their atheletic skill. The teacher and idealist within wants to transmit whole concepts through analogies or symbols to be re-assembled by others in their own unique way, according to their own perspectives.
