Manglik Dosha Calculator

Manglik (or Kuja) Dosha is one of the most widely discussed conditions in Vedic astrology — Mars placed in the **1st, 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th, or 12th house** counted from your Lagna, your Moon, or Venus. This calculator checks all three reference points independently on your single chart and reports exactly which one(s) qualify.

Ayanamsa: Lahiri (Chitrapaksha) · Rule (BPHS): Mars in the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th, or 12th house from Lagna, the Moon, or Venus (checked independently)

What Manglik Dosha Is

These six houses touch marriage, family, and shared resources most directly, so Mars's naturally fiery, assertive energy placed there is classically read as a caution flag for marital friction — not a fixed prediction, but a factor worth accounting for in marriage timing and partner selection.

Why Three Different Reference Points Are Checked

Classical practice checks Mars's house position not just from the Lagna, but also counted from the Moon and from Venus independently — a chart can be Manglik from any one of these three references even if it clears the other two, which is why this calculator reports all three explicitly.

Why Strength (Not Just Presence) Matters

This calculator distinguishes "strong" Manglik (triggered from the Lagna reckoning specifically) from "moderate" (triggered only via the Moon and/or Venus reference) — a distinction many practicing astrologers weigh when assessing just how significant the condition is for a specific chart.

Manglik Dosha Calculator FAQs

What is Manglik Dosha?
A classical Vedic condition where Mars occupies the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th, or 12th house counted from the Lagna, the Moon, or Venus — traditionally treated as a caution flag for marital friction.
Is Manglik Dosha the same as Kuja Dosha?
Yes — Kuja is Mars's classical name, so Kuja Dosha and Manglik Dosha refer to the identical condition.
Does being Manglik mean marriage will fail?
No — it's classically read as a factor worth accounting for, not a fixed prediction; many traditions also recognize cancellation conditions and matching a Manglik partner with another Manglik chart as ways this is traditionally addressed.
Why check Mars from the Moon and Venus, not just the Lagna?
Classical Kuja Dosha practice checks all three references independently, since a chart can qualify as Manglik through any one of them even when the other two are clear.
How is this different from the Manglik Compatibility Calculator on this site?
This calculator checks a SINGLE person's Manglik status; the Manglik Compatibility Calculator compares TWO people's Manglik status together and checks whether they classically cancel each other out.
