What is Angarak Dosha? Is it a Dosha or Yoga?
Exploring the positive impact of Mars and Rahu Conjunction
There is a lot of buzz around “Angarak Dosha” or “Angarak Yoga”. This is formed when Planets Mars and Rahu conjoins in a rasi or a sign in a horoscope. Should it be called as Dosha or should it be termed as Yoga? Dosha is something negative while Yoga is not. Going by the positive benefits of Mars and Rahu, their conjunction should be called as “Angarak Yoga” instead of “Angarak Dosha”. Let’s delve deeper into this.
Understanding Mars and Rahu ♓️
In Vedic Astrology, Mars, the red planet, symbolises strength, courage, and determination. Its fiery nature fuels ambition and leadership qualities while also harboring potential for aggression if not channeled positively. Rahu, a shadow planet, brings unpredictability and innovation to the astrological realm. Associated with unconventional fields like technology, Rahu's influence is enigmatic, often leading to transformative experiences.
Mars and Rahu are often termed as “BAD” planets. But in reality, there are no bad planets in any horoscope.
Contrary to popular belief, Mars and Rahu aren't inherently malefic planets. Instead, their influence depends on their placement in a person's horoscope. Factors like house placement and divisional charts play crucial roles in determining their effects. Mars and Rahu can yield positive outcomes, especially when positioned in houses associated with material gains and comfort. So, when there are no bad planets, how can conjunction of two planets be bad?
Decoding Angarak Yoga & Dispelling Misconceptions ♓️
The conjunction of Mars and Rahu is often termed as Angarak Dosha or Angarak Yoga. There is no mention of this term in any classical Astrology texts although there are lots of slokas about Mars and Rahu conjunction. This conjunction recurs approximately every two years. Recently, this celestial phenomenon unfolded in April 2024 as Mars journeyed through Capricorn and entered into Pisces, where Rahu was already present. While Mars takes about 680 days to orbit around the zodiac, Rahu's orbit spans approximately 18 years and 6 months, moving backward through the zodiac signs.
Angarak Yoga, like Mangal Dosha or Kuja Dosha, suffers from misconceptions. We have earlier discussed about concept of Manglik or Mangal Dosh.
