Mangal Dosha (Manglik) Checker
Checks your real computed Mars position against the classical Manglik Dosha (Mangal Dosha) house rules, evaluated from three separate reference points — your Ascendant, Moon sign, and Venus sign — since traditions differ on which to use, and shows exactly which houses are involved under each.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Mangal Dosha real?
It's a traditional Vedic astrological concept, not a scientifically validated claim — this tool computes the classical planetary geometry involved (Mars's house placement from three reference points) so you can see exactly what traditional practitioners look for, without asserting it as fact.
Does Mangal Dosha cancel out if both partners have it?
Classical texts describe matching two Manglik charts as neutralizing the affliction between that specific pair — this is a traditional matching rule you'd apply by comparing each partner's individual result, not something this calculator determines automatically.
Is the 2nd house always included in Mangal Dosha?
Practice varies — some North Indian traditions check only the 1st, 4th, 7th, 8th, and 12th houses, while South Indian astrology specifically emphasizes the 2nd house as Sevvai Dosham. This tool shows all three reference counts (Ascendant, Moon, Venus) individually so you can see exactly which houses are involved under either convention.
What's the difference between 'High' and 'Low' Manglik?
'High' means Mars falls in a dosha house counted from all three reference points (Ascendant, Moon sign, and Venus sign); 'Low' or 'Partial' means it's present from only one or two of the three.
Are there exceptions that cancel Mangal Dosha?
Yes — classical texts describe several cancellation (Bhanga) conditions, such as Mars sitting in its own sign (Aries or Scorpio) or exaltation (Capricorn), or receiving a Jupiter aspect. This calculator shows the raw house-placement result; exceptions are a separate traditional layer astrologers apply on top of it.
