Doshas & checks · computed with the Swiss Ephemeris
Manglik Dosha Calculator
Mangal Dosha checked from the Lagna, Moon and Venus — with cancellations.
Manglik Dosha (also called Mangal, Kuja or Mars Dosha) is present when Mars occupies the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th or 12th house. The classical method checks Mars from three reference points — the Lagna, the Moon and Venus — not the Ascendant alone. This calculator computes Mars's exact sidereal house from all three, scores how strongly you are Manglik, and shows every classical cancellation (Manglik Bhanga) rather than issuing a blunt red flag.
Manglik Dosha — also called Mangal Dosha, Kuja Dosha or Mars Dosha — is about where Mars sits in your chart, and it is one of the most over-diagnosed conditions in astrology. This free Manglik calculator checks Mars by your date of birth from all three classical reference points (Lagna, Moon and Venus) and shows any mitigating factors instead of a blunt, scary flag.
What you'll see
- Mars's house from the Lagna, Moon and Venus
- Whether you are Manglik, and how strongly (partial vs full)
- Mars's sign, dignity and any classical cancellation
- Whether the dosha is heavy enough to matter for marriage
- A 12-house visual of Mars's placement
What is Manglik / Mangal Dosha?
Manglik Dosha (Mangal Dosha) is the placement of Mars in the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th or 12th house. Because Mars governs aggression, energy and conflict, classical astrologers weighed these placements when assessing marriage — the worry being that an afflicted Mars in a relationship house can bring friction. The same condition is called Kuja Dosha in South India and Bhom or Mars Dosha elsewhere; they all mean the same thing.
What most free calculators get wrong is checking Mars only from the Ascendant. The classical method checks Mars from three reference points — the Lagna (Ascendant), the Moon (Chandra) and Venus (Shukra) — because each governs a different layer of married life. This tool checks all three and tells you how many are actually triggered, so you get a real picture rather than an instant red flag.
How to check Manglik Dosha by date of birth
To check Mangal Dosha you need your date, exact time and place of birth — the same inputs any honest Manglik calculator requires, because Mars's house depends on your Ascendant, which changes every couple of hours. Enter them above and the engine computes Mars's real sidereal position from the Swiss Ephemeris and reports its house from the Lagna, Moon and Venus.
You are then told whether you are Manglik, whether it is partial (Anshik) or full, and — crucially — whether any classical cancellation (Manglik Dosha Bhanga) applies.
Manglik Dosha cancellation and remedies
A Manglik flag is rarely the final word. Mars in its own sign (Aries, Scorpio) or exalted in Capricorn, Mars aspected by Jupiter, both partners being Manglik, or Mars in certain signs for certain Ascendants all reduce or fully cancel the dosha. This tool surfaces these cancellations rather than hiding them to scare you.
Where a genuine, strong dosha remains, traditional remedies range from timing the marriage thoughtfully to Mars-pacifying practices. None of that should override two compatible charts — the dosha is one factor among many, not a verdict.
Frequently asked
What is Manglik Dosha?
A condition where Mars sits in the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th or 12th house, checked from the Lagna, the Moon and Venus. It is also called Mangal Dosha, Kuja Dosha or Mars Dosha, and is traditionally weighed for marriage compatibility.
How do I check if I am Manglik by date of birth?
Enter your date, time and place of birth above. The tool computes Mars's exact position and reports its house from the Lagna, Moon and Venus, then tells you whether you are Manglik and how strongly.
Can Manglik Dosha be cancelled?
Yes. Mars in its own sign or exaltation, an aspect from Jupiter, both partners being Manglik, and several other classical rules reduce or cancel the dosha. This tool surfaces the cancellations (Manglik Bhanga) rather than hiding them.
Is Manglik Dosha the same as Mangal, Kuja or Mars Dosha?
Yes — they are different names for the same condition. 'Mangal' and 'Kuja' are both names for Mars, so Manglik Dosha, Mangal Dosha, Kuja Dosha and Mars Dosha all refer to the same Mars placement.
Can a Manglik marry a non-Manglik?
Often, yes. Whether it matters depends on the strength of the dosha and whether it is cancelled, not on the label alone. A weak or cancelled dosha rarely outweighs two otherwise compatible charts.
