Ghataka means an experience of an extreme negative sense, both mentally as well as physically.

So, you can apply this to;
A) Transits
B) horoscope matching (synastry)

Ghataka can play out in 5 dimensions relating to Quality of dangers. The 5 dimensions of Ghataka are;

- Moon Ghataka (reputation)
- Tithi Ghataka (mentally)
- Day Ghataka (physically)
- Nakshatra Gathaka (emotionally)
- Lagna Gathaka (physically)

Below the tables. Basically it's like this;
I'm a Libra Moon (sideral) so I have to avoid (in synastry OR in transit);
- Sag Moon
- Rikta Tithi
- Thursday
- Shatabhisaj nakshatra
- Virgo Asc for the same gender / Pisces Asc for the opposite gender.

You can see under which Tithi and at which day of the week you were born with this calculator;

1. Determine the janma rasi of partner 'A'... label it JR1
2.Determine the janma tithi of partner'A'...say JT1
3. Determine the ghataka tithi of partner 'A' from table l...call this GT1

4. Determine the janma rasi of partner 'B'...say JR2
5. Determine the janma tithi of partner'B'...sayJT2
6. Determine the ghataka tithi of partner 'B' from table l...call this GT2

7. If JT2 = GT1, then partner B shall afflict injury and cruelty on partner A and/or

8. If JT1 = GT2, then partner A shall afflict injury and cruelty on partner B.

If a female is born in Taurus Janma Rasi (the natal moon), we see from table-1 that the ghataka tithi for this Taurus Moon is “Puma” (find the birth rasi under column-1 and then go across the row and find the ghataka tithi under column-3).

Thus any men born on pahcaml, dasaml, purnima or amavasya (refer table-2) shall prove to be bad and shall cause serious setbacks in her life. If marriage occurs between two people bom in each other's ghataka tithi then they will quarrel and inflict serious physical/mental wounds on each other.

The Ghataka is indicated to be an alarming dosha in relationship issues. If that is so, should this dosha be taken into consideration in matching of charts for marriage and give a final verdict through it ? It may happen, that the charts are well matched kutawise but may have tithi or day ghatak, should it be rejected strightaway ?

[Visti] Ghataka is essentially the evil of Mars, and in relationships we need to be very careful about this as the karakas Venus and Mars are deeply inimical towards each other, to the extent of Mars causing Kuja dosha and what not to delay or end the marriage. So Ghataka is a very important part of matching horoscopes also. Prefer to reject tithi-ghataka relations as they invariably will give some mental suffering.

04. For relationship issues, are all Ghatakas of Rasi, Tithi, Day,Nakshatra and Lagna are essential or a few may be overlooked ?

[Visti] Lagna, Rasi and Tithi Ghataka are quite essential, whilst Nakshatra and Vara Ghataka should only be seen if you fear that the partners are going to beat each other up or kill each other as these last types of ghataka deal with the body. Lagna, Rasi and Tithi ghataka deal with emotions.
