Mars (Mangal) in the 2nd House
Mars in the 2nd sharpens the tongue and speeds up spending: the texts warn of harsh words, family quarrels and money spent as fast as it is earned, with complaints of the teeth or face.

The 2nd comes from South Indian practice and is one of the six houses this site counts for Mangal dosha.
Measured speech and a fixed savings rule are the practical remedies; earning through land, engineering, food or technical work suits it.
Which sign falls in the 2nd house depends on the lagna, and the sign changes Mars's strength there. For a Sagittarius (Dhanu) lagna this house holds Capricorn (Makara), where Mars is exalted; for a Gemini (Mithuna) lagna it holds Cancer (Karka), where it is debilitated. It is the yogakaraka for Cancer (Karka), Leo (Simha) lagna.

- Mangal (Kuja) dosha: this house counts; the table above marks the signs where a classical cancellation applies. The Manglik calculator checks a whole chart, from the lagna, the Moon and Venus.
Mars mahadasha runs 7 years. This placement speaks most clearly then — in Mars's own mahadasha, in its antardashas inside other mahadashas, and in the dasha of the lord of the 2nd house. Saturn's and Jupiter's transits over this house, or over the planet itself, wake it too.

- Chant the Mars mantra: Om Kraam Kreem Kraum Sah Bhaumaya Namah. Sit facing east after sunrise — Tuesday is the strongest day for it. Chant 3 malas a day (324 repetitions), keeping count on a 108-bead mala. Keep it up for 40 days without a break — that completes the traditional 10,000.
- Give a Mars donation. Give red lentils, jaggery, copper on Tuesday, before noon. Offer it to a soldier, sportsperson or younger brother, or to anyone in genuine need. Give quietly, in person, without expecting thanks.
- Daily practice for Mars. Plant a neem tree; be of service to your siblings. Keep it up every day for 40 days — consistency is the remedy.
Make your kundli and open the card for the 2nd house: it shows the sign there, where its lord sits and which planets occupy it — so you can see whether Mars really is in this house for you, and in which sign. The row of the table above for your lagna is then yours.
