Mangal Dosha Calculator — Check Your Manglik Status Free
Check your Manglik status across Lagna, Moon, and Venus charts along with classical cancellation rules and remedies.
Mangal Dosha (also called Manglik Dosha, Kuja Dosha, or Chevvai Dosham) occurs when Mars sits in the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th, or 12th house of your birth chart. In Hindu marriage matching, it's one of the most-checked placements because three of those six houses — the 2nd, 7th, and 8th — govern family, marriage, and shared life directly. This calculator checks Mars against your Lagna (Ascendant), Moon, and Venus charts, then applies classical cancellation rules before giving you a final verdict — not just a raw 'yes/no.'
How It Works
Enter Exact Birth Details
Enter exact birth date, time, and place. An inaccurate birth time can shift Mars into a neighboring house and change the result entirely — precision matters here more than almost anywhere else in astrology.
Build Three Charts
The calculator builds three charts: the Lagna chart (Ascendant-based), the Moon chart (Chandra Lagna), and the Venus chart (Shukra Lagna).
Check 6 Dosha Houses
Mars' house position is checked against the six dosha houses: 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, and 12 across all three charts.
Apply Cancellation Rules
Classical cancellation rules (Mangal Dosha Nivaran) are applied to determine whether the placement is active, neutralized, or reduced.
About Mangal Dosha
Mangal Dosha is one of the oldest and most consulted placements in Vedic marriage astrology. Mars — Mangal — is the planet of drive, aggression, courage, and heat. In most houses of a chart, that heat is an asset: ambition, protection, competitive edge. But when Mars lands in one of six particular houses — 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, or 12 — tradition holds that its intensity presses directly on self, family/speech, home, marriage, shared resources/longevity, or isolation. A person carrying this placement is called a Manglik.
The dosha is regional in name but consistent in principle across Indian traditions — Kuja Dosha in the South, Bhauma Dosha in classical texts, and Chevvai Dosham (or Chovva Dosham) in Tamil practice. Both men and women can be Manglik, and the placement is checked the same way for both.
Mangal Dosha Houses & What They Mean: • 1st House (Lagna): Self, personality, physical vitality (Moderate intensity — affects temperament in marriage) • 2nd House: Family, speech, wealth (Moderate intensity — can create friction in family relations) • 4th House: Home, emotional foundation, mother (Moderate intensity — can unsettle domestic peace) • 7th House: Marriage, partnership, spouse (Strongest intensity — most classically significant placement) • 8th House: Longevity, shared resources, transformation (Strong intensity — associated with sudden change or obstacles) • 12th House: Loss, isolation, foreign travel (Moderate intensity — can create emotional distance in marriage)
Common Cancellation Rules (Mangal Dosha Nivaran): • Mars in its own sign (Aries or Scorpio) or exalted (Capricorn) in a dosha house — neutralized since Mars is comfortable. • Mars aspected or conjunct Jupiter, a natural benefic, softens the dosha considerably. • Both partners are Manglik — when both partners carry Mangal Dosha, tradition holds that the two placements cancel each other out for that specific match. • Age-based softening — while the chart placement is permanent, its practical intensity lessens as emotional maturity develops past Mars-ruled life stages.
Traditional Remedies (Practices of Pacification): • Mangal Shanti Puja (often performed at Mangalnath Temple in Ujjain). • Tuesday Fasting (Mangalvaar). • Hanuman Chalisa recitation and Mangal Mantra japa. • Kumbh Vivah (symbolic ceremony before marriage to absorb initial intensity). • Red Coral (Moonga) gemstone (worn only with proper astrological guidance).
Does Mangal Dosha Really Threaten a Marriage? This is worth addressing directly: classical texts treat Mangal Dosha seriously, but a single placement was never meant to be read in isolation. A qualified astrologer weighs Mangal Dosha alongside the full birth chart: overall planetary strength, other yogas present, and Gun Milan compatibility. Two Mangliks marrying each other is considered a complete non-issue. Mangal Dosha is a factor to understand and account for, not an automatic verdict against a marriage.
