The Fourth house of horoscope represents mother, home, family, community, nation, traditions, beliefs, security, education, properties, vehicles, emotional and mental health, emotional wellbeing, peace of mind and many other things.

Let’s start with signs and let’s look at the general trends. Manglik Dosh formed in various houses may possess minimum strength when Mars is placed in Cancer since Mars is debilitated in this sign. This defect may be significant or strong but not very strong when Mars is placed in Taurus, Gemini, Virgo, Libra, Aquarius or Pisces. Manglik Dosh may become strong or very strong when Mars is placed in Aries, Leo, Scorpio, Sagittarius or Capricorn.

Let’s take an example for Manglik Dosh in the fourth house; to understand this concept in a better manner. Suppose malefic Mars forms Manglik Dosh in the fourth house of a horoscope in Virgo. Gemini rises in the ascendant and Mars rules the sixth and eleventh house in this horoscope. Since Mars is not strong in Virgo, such Manglik Dosh may not cause very serious or destructive type of problems related to marriage; in general.

Through its general as well as specific significances; Mars represents courage, bravery, initiative, immunity, reforms, aggression, stubbornness, impulsiveness, anger, hot-headedness, profession, financial gains, increments, expansions, friends, associates, networks, economies, stock markets, sudden gains, profits, goals, ambitions, greed, diseases, disputes, disagreements, arguments, litigations, court cases, financial debts, enemies and crime among other things.

Hence such Manglik Dosh may create a number of problems related to the marriage of the native; depending on the relevant factors as well as on the overall horoscope. This type of Manglik Dosh may delay the marriage of the native and it can also cause problems after the marriage of the native.

Let’s look at some of these problems. The native may have significant or serious differences of opinion with his wife and the couple may not get along well. The quantum of such problems may increase with time and the marriage may fail. The couple may engage in arguments, disputes and clashes on regular basis and they may also engage in acts of physical aggression at times. Such Manglik Dosh may spoil the atmosphere of house so much that the native may prefer to stay away from home, as much as possible. Whether he may be able to do so or not; depends on his overall horoscope.

Hence such native may try to keep himself busy with work or he may pretend so. Doing so, he may be able to leave early in the morning and return home; late in the evening. Even when at home; the native may prefer to engage in something related to his profession or something else; instead of spending time with his wife. This is because whenever the native and his wife get together; arguments may start in a short period of time. Such arguments may lead to disputes and disturbances. Hence the native may try to avoid his wife, in order to stay away from such problems.

However, due to the malefic influence of such Manglik Dosh, he may not be able to do so very often. One reason or the other may show up and the couple may end up fighting with each other. Whether the marriage lasts for a short duration of time or its lasts lifelong; the couple may not have harmonious relationship between them. It means that if the overall horoscope is supportive for longevity of marriage; the couple may choose to continue marriage; more due to duties and obligations than due to love and affection.

Such Manglik Dosh may also trouble the native with various types of psychological problems and such problems may adversely affect his marriage. In some cases; the marriage may suffer because the native may have such problems and he may not be able to attach proper value to his wife and marriage. In some other cases; such problems may begin after marriage; primarily because of the stress created by the relationship between the native and his wife. In an extreme case of this type, the native may suffer from serious psychological disorders.

Such Manglik Dosh may also affect the wellbeing of native’s wife; especially when Venus and Jupiter are not healthy in the horoscope. Native’s wife may suffer from health problems or the native may mentally torture her a lot; depending on his overall horoscope. Taking an example, if Venus is placed in the seventh house of this horoscope in Sagittarius and a combination of Sun and Mercury is placed in the sixth house in Scorpio, the native may trouble his wife a lot. Such native may keep finding reasons to trouble his wife; especially mentally. Hence he may find flaws in whatever she does; and he may try to degrade her.

Looking at another variation, suppose malefic Mars is placed in the fourth house along with Sun and malefic Venus; Mercury is placed in the third house in Leo and Jupiter is placed in the sixth house in Scorpio. In this case, the wellbeing of native’s wife may be in trouble. Accordingly, she may suffer from various types of health issues; both physically and mentally. She may also suffer from complications related to children. This is because Venus represents the ability to produce children in female natives. Apart from that, Venus rules the fifth house in this horoscope.

Venus is debilitated and it is afflicted by Mars. Apart from that, Sun may render more weakness to Venus through combustion. Therefore, the native may face issues related to children; and his wife’s health may be a major factor. Hence native’s wife may face medical complications when she tries to conceive, she may not be able to conceive till late and she may also witness abortion. Apart from that, the first child of this couple may have abnormalities; especially mental abnormalities.

Let’s look at the influence of nakshatras on Manglik Dosh formed in the fourth house. The sign of Virgo features 3 nakshatras; Uttaraphalguni, Hasta and Chitra. If Mars is placed in Uttaraphalguni, such Manglik Dosh may create significant, serious or very serious problems; depending on the placement of Mars in various navamshas within this nakshatra. This type of Manglik Dosh may especially prove troublesome for the health and longevity of marriage. Hence the native may witness one or two broken marriages.

If Mars is placed in Hasta, the problems may be significant or serious but not very serious. Uttaraphalguni is ruled by Sun and it is a relatively difficult nakshatra. Hasta is ruled by Moon and this nakshatra promotes the concept of family in general. Hence malefic Mars may not crate very serious or destructive type of problems when it forms Manglik Dosh in this nakshatra. This type of Manglik Dosh may prove troublesome for the equation between the couple and they may face serious issues related to compatibility. Such issues may aggravate after the couple has children.

Such Manglik Dosh has a tendency to create serious differences between the couple; on account of the affairs related to children. It means the native may want one thing for children and his wife may want another or the opposite thing. This may apply to the day to day choices and it may also apply to the important decisions related to children. For example, the native may try to impose discipline and other likewise conditions on his children whereas his wife may be strongly against them. Hence the couple may often have arguments and clashes regarding how the children should be raised as well as regarding a number of their affairs.

Depending on the overall horoscope; the situation may reverse. It means that the native may have liberal attitude towards his children whereas his wife may have strict approach towards them. In both the cases; the couple may engage in serious arguments and disputes on regular basis and the children may suffer; as they may get stuck between two opposite forces. Even if the marriage survives; such Manglik Dosh may create rift in the family. Either the native or his wife may lose the love and support of the children in the long run. It means the children may bend towards one parent and they may often stand by his or her side; whenever major disputes arise between the couple. This may continue for as long as the marriage lasts.

If Mars is placed in Chitra nakshatra, the problems may be serious or very serious. Chitra is ruled by Mars and this nakshatra is generally not favorable for healthy marriage. Hence the native may face serious issues related to various aspects of marriage; depending on his overall horoscope. This type of Manglik Dosh may create more disturbances through silence than through words.

Drawing a comparison, when Mars forms Manglik Dosh in the fourth house in Uttaraphalguni nakshatra; the couple may engage in arguments and disputes. Such arguments and disputes may break the marriage; relatively soon. When Mars forms Manglik Dosh in the fourth house in Hasta nakshatra; the couple may engage in arguments and disputes; more or much more compared to the first case. However, such disputes may not break the marriage or they may take long to do so. Hence the couple may keep fighting as well as verbally abusing each other; but the marriage may continue.

When Mars forms Manglik Dosh in the fourth house in Chitra nakshatra; silence may kill the marriage, more than words. The couple may engage in arguments and disputes during the beginning phases of marriage and then; one or both the partners may choose to remain silent instead of engaging in verbal arguments. However, such silence may not be a good one and it may be a very bad one.

When you fight with a relative or friend; you believe in the relationship and you try to save it by making them understand; your point of view. However, if you stop arguing or fighting and you instead choose to ignore or avoid such relative or friend; it means you have lost interest in such relationship.

The same may happen in this case. One or both the partners may lose interest and they may choose the way of minimum interaction with each other. This state of silence may rule throughout their lives if the marriage sustain; or it may break the marriage; depending on their overall horoscopes.

Let’s look at navamsha placements of Mars within the sign of Virgo. This sign features 9 navamshas; ranging from Capricorn to Virgo. Uttaraphalguni rules the first three navamshas from Capricorn to Pisces. Hasta rules the next four navamshas from Aries to Cancer. Chitra rules the last two navamshas; Leo and Virgo.

When Mars is placed in Cancer navamsha; such Manglik Dosh may create significant problems. Among all 9 types of Manglik Dosh formed by Mars in the fourth house within the sign of Virgo; this is the least troublesome one. Hence if the overall horoscope of the native is supportive for marriage; the native may be able to save his first marriage; despite problems and setbacks.

When Mars is placed in Aquarius, Pisces, Taurus, Gemini or Virgo navamsha; the problems may be significant or serious. Mars is not strong in these signs though it may do well in most of them. Such Manglik Dosh may break one marriage of the native; depending on his overall horoscope.

When Mars is placed in Capricorn, Aries or Leo navamsha; the problems may be serious or very serious. Mars is strong in all these signs and it may cause serious damage. The placement of Mars in Capricorn navamsha may prove very troublesome for the native. Mars is exalted in Capricorn and Uttaraphalguni is a difficult to handle nakshatra. Hence this type of Manglik Dosh may break one or two marriages of the native; depending on his overall horoscope.

Between Aries and Leo; Mars is stronger in Aries. However, it may cause more damage when it is placed in Leo. This is because Aries navamsha is ruled by Hasta nakshatra; which is generally favourable for relationships like marriage as well as for concepts like home and family. Leo navamsha is ruled by Chitra nakshatra. Mars rules this nakshatra and it is generally not favourable for matrimonial bliss as well as for harmony between the partners. Hence Mars may cause more damage in Leo navamsha, compared to Aries navamsha.

Moving on, the influences of benefic and malefic planets on Mars in a horoscope. Suppose malefic Mars forms Manglik Dosh in the fourth house of a horoscope in Virgo and benefic exalted Mercury is also placed in the same house. Mercury is stronger than Mars in Virgo.

The native may face significant or mild problems related to marriage in this case; and he may not face serious or very serious problems. Such benefic combination may produce good or very good results related to education, profession, health and overall wellbeing of the native; depending on his overall horoscope.

On the other hand, if Jupiter, Venus and the seventh house are weak or afflicted; the native may face problems in marriage. Taking an example, suppose a combination of Sun, Mars and Mercury is placed in the fourth house in Virgo and debilitated Venus is also placed in the same house. Venus is partly malefic in this horoscope. Since it is weak in Virgo; it may get afflicted by Mars and it may become significantly malefic. As a result, the overall combination in the fourth house may now hang in balance and the outcome of this combination may depend on the rest of the horoscope; as well as on the running times.

If a benefic combination of Moon and Jupiter is placed in the tenth house in Pisces; the overall horoscope as well as the combination in the fourth house may turn benefic. However, if a malefic combination of Jupiter and Rahu is placed in the sixth house in Scorpio, malefic Ketu is placed in the twelfth house in Taurus and Saturn is placed in the eighth house in Capricorn, the equation may change.

In this case, the overall horoscope may become malefic. Hence the combination in the fourth house may also turn more malefic than benefic. In this case, Manglik Dosh may gain strength once again. Hence Mars forms Manglik Dosh and it afflicts Venus. Jupiter being the lord of the seventh house is engaged in a malefic combination with Rahu; and Guru Chandal Yoga is formed in the sixth house.

Depending on the finer factors as well as on the running times; such Manglik Dosh supported by the overall malefic horoscope may break two, three or more marriages of the native; on account of serious problems. Much depends on the placement of Moon in this horoscope, since the placement of Moon controls running times.

Suppose Moon is placed in the fourth quarter of Poorvabhadrapada nakshatra in Pisces in the tenth house of this horoscope. Jupiter rules this nakshatra. Hence the native is born under Jupiter Mahadasha which may rule the timeline till native’s age of 4 years. After this, the 19 years Saturn period starts. Saturn period is followed by 17 year Mercury period and Mercury is benefic in this horoscope. It means the native may be under the influence of Mercury period between his age of 23 and 40 years.

Since these are the most important years for marriage; the native may not face the most serious type of problems indicated by Manglik Dosh and Guru Chandal Yoga. Hence the native may witness one or two broken marriages and he may settle in his second or third marriage.

On the other hand, if Moon is placed in the third house in Leo in the third navamsha of Poorvaphalguni nakshatra, the overall equation may change. Poorvaphalguni is ruled by Venus. Hence the native is born under Venus period. Since Moon is placed in the third navamsha of Poorvaphalguni; only about 8 years of Venus period may be left. After Venus, the period of Sun for 6 years and that of Moon for 10 years rules the timelines and then the Mars period begins.

It means the periods of Mars and Rahu may be in effect between this native’s age of 24 and 49 years. Both Mars and Rahu form defects which directly hit the sphere of marriage. The years of age from 24 to 49 are the most important years for marriage. Hence Manglik Dosh and Guru Chandal Yoga may cause significant damage in this case. As a result, the native may face three, four or more broken marriages during these periods; on account of serious problems. The native may also lose one of his wives to death; due to malefic impact of Mars.

So far, we have discussed the outcomes if Mars is joined by benefic planets. Let’s see what may happen when malefic planets influence Manglik Dosh in a horoscope. Suppose malefic Mars forms Manglik Dosh in the fourth house of a horoscope in Virgo and malefic debilitated Venus is also placed in the same house. Venus is partly malefic in this horoscope. However, the combined effect of weakness due to debilitation and affliction from Mars may turn it into a significantly malefic planet in the horoscope.

In this case, Manglik Dosh may gain even more strength and such malefic combination may hit a number of spheres of this native’s life. Among them; the sphere of marriage may be hit most severely; in case the native is male. Hence this malefic combination may break two or three marriages of the native on its own.

If malefic exalted Rahu is also placed in the fourth house along with Mars and Venus; the problems may intensify. This combination may turn highly malefic and all three planets may afflict one another. Mars rules the sixth and eleventh house whereas Venus rules the fifth and twelfth house in this horoscope.

Through its general and specific significances; Mars represents courage, bravery, initiative, immunity, reforms, aggression, stubbornness, impulsiveness, anger, hot-headedness, diseases, disputes, delays, disagreements, arguments, litigations, court cases, financial debts, enemies, crime, profession, financial gains, increments, expansions, friends, associates, networks, economies, stock markets, sudden gains, profits, goals, ambitions and greed; among many other things.

Through its general and specific significances; Venus represents creativity, romance, women, wife, beauty, money, luxuries, children, love affairs, romance, entertainment, creativity, fame, spiritual growth, politics, foreign lands, hospitals, ashrams, refugee camps, prisons, sleep, dreams, imaginations, fantasies, perversions, mediation, spiritual growth, liberation, paranormal, supernatural, the occult, mysteries, illusions, losses, delays, addictions, vices, confusions, secret missions, investigations and many other things.

Rahu represents brother-in-law, father-in-law, intuition, psychic perception, mysteries, illusions, cleverness, corruptions, perversions, sudden gains or losses, crime, drugs, prostitution, gambling, various types of addictions, compulsive behaviour patterns, unfortunate events, accidents, diseases, delays, losses, destruction and many other things.

Hence such malefic combination may create problems related to all these spheres. Rahu is the strongest among these three planes; Mars comes second and Venus is the weakest. Hence the spheres related to the general as well as specific significances of Venus may suffer the most. It means such malefic combination may create serious or very serious problems related to marriage, wife and children among other problems.

The native under the influence of such malefic combination may physically as well as mentally abuse his wife or wives. Such native may often indulge in verbal violence against his wife and he may also engage in physical violence at times. Such malefic combination may create sadistic tendencies in the native and it may also render various types of perversions to the native. Due to such sadistic tendencies as well as perversions; the native may also engage in sexual violence against his wife. Unless there are corrective planets in the horoscope, such native may force his wife to engage in various types of sexual acts; which may be unnatural and painful.

Such native may also seek the company of sex workers and he may lose a lot of money in pursuit of sexual pleasures. Since the sixth house ruled by Mars deals with diseases, Rahu deals with mysterious and hidden things, and Venus represents women in general; the native may get infected with a sexually transmitted disease (STD) through a sex worker. If the rest of his horoscope is favorable for lifespan; such disease may not be a fatal one. However, if the rest of his horoscope shows reduced lifespan and the running time indicates problems; the native may get infected with a fatal STD like HIV AIDS.

Looking at a variation; if a combination of retrograde Jupiter and retrograde Saturn is placed in the sixth house in Scorpio in Vishakha nakshatra; the native may pass on such STD to his wife also. Whether such STD may be troublesome or fatal; is dependent on the overall horoscope of the native as well as that of his wife.

If debilitated Sun is placed in the fifth house in Libra and Mercury is placed in the sixth house in Scorpio along with Jupiter and Saturn; the native may get infected with a fatal STD and he may die before his age of 45; depending on the finer factors as well as on the running times. For example, if Moon is placed in the eleventh house of this horoscope in Aries in the fourth navamsha of Bharani nakshatra; the native may die before his age of 45.

The native is born during Venus period with about 4 years left. Hence the planetary periods of Mars and Rahu may rule the timeline between native’s age of 20 and 47 years. The native may contract a fatal STD like HIV AIDS during this period and he may die before the end of Rahu period.

Coming back to the basic setup of Mars, Venus and Rahu in the fourth house, such malefic combination may also create a number of other problems related to marriage and other spheres. The native may witness the death of one or more than one of his wives. The couple may face problems related to childbirth. Hence the native may not have his first child till late or very late; depending on relevant factors. The native may have a child who may be physically or mentally challenged. The native may engage in an extramarital affair and he may have a child or children from such extramarital affair. The native may never marry this woman and her child or children may never get native’s name. Apart from these; the native may face a number of other problems; depending on his overall horoscope.
