What is Angarak Dosha In Astrology
Angarak Dosha: When Mars (Mangal) and Rahu or Ketu are placed together in the same house in Kundali or very close to each other then the dosha is created. Mars is a planet of fire, aggression, energy, and action, whereas Rahu and Ketu are shadow planets and create confusion, obsession, and sudden results.
When these planets come together, they create a lot of heat and intensity, just like fire meeting smoke. This is why the dosha is named “Angarak,” which means burning coal or fire spark in Sanskrit.
