Most Dangerous Graha Doshas in a Birth Chart!
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

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

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.

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.

Q: Can a Manglik marry a non-Manglik?
A: Yes, a person with Manglik Dosha can marry a non-Manglik.
