But it is difficult to predict on literature reading. We have to be perfect or we might interpret very wrongly.
Suppose the Mangalik Kundli has a Mangal in Manglik Area. But if it is in lower degree i.e. 1 degree then it is called Bala Avastha. It will not harm the person. But some says that the person is manglik and he will have problems in marriage.
Such cases make us to predict wrongly. So be careful. Good Luck
