Graha Guide

Mangalमंगल

Mangal governs action, courage, sharp force. In a real chart it is read through sign, house, dignity, aspects, and timing.

Nature: natural malefic Tone: drive, conflict, stamina Rules: Aries, Scorpio
Function

Mangal is read for action, courage, sharp force. It adds a concrete layer to interpretation because planets tell you what is acting, while signs tell you how it acts.

That distinction is why Nithya does not reduce astrology to a single sign summary. The graha layer carries timing and behavioral nuance.

Rulership

Mangal rules Aries, Scorpio. Those signs often inherit its style, priorities, and problem-solving rhythm.

Reading checklist

  • Which sign and house is Mangal in?
  • Is it strong, weakened, combust, or under pressure?
  • Is its mahadasha or antardasha currently active?
  • What are the current transits doing to it?

Backend usage

Nithya uses graha data for kundali generation, current transits, and Vimshottari sequencing. That lets the app connect chart structure with timing instead of showing disconnected glossary text.
