Mangal Dosha Calculator – Am I Manglik?
Free · No signup · Lahiri ayanamsa · Swiss Ephemeris · Whole-sign houses
You are Manglik if Mars sits in the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th or 12th house from your Ascendant (and it is often also checked from the Moon and Venus); many charts have the dosha cancelled by Mars's sign or aspects.
| Houses counted | 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 12 in whole-sign houses. Toggle to drop the 2nd house. |
|---|---|
| References | Default verdict uses Lagna + Moon. Venus is always shown. Turn “check from Venus” on to count it. No-time mode uses Moon + Venus only. |
| Severity | 3 counted references = high / Strong. 1–2 = partial (Mild or Moderate). 0 remaining = none. |
| Cancellations applied | Mars in own sign (Aries/Scorpio) or exalted (Capricorn); Mars conjunct or aspected by Jupiter (1st/5th/7th/9th). These can move the verdict to Present but cancelled. |
| Listed only | Sign-house exceptions (2nd Gemini/Virgo, 12th Taurus/Libra, 4th Aries/Scorpio, 7th Cancer/Capricorn, 8th Sagittarius/Pisces); Mars in Leo/Aquarius; Mars conjunct Moon; Mars strong in D9 (own/exalt or kendra from D9 Lagna). Owner still verifies school. |
| Off by default | Age-28 folk reduction. Partner-also-Manglik belongs on the matching page, not here. |
| Precision | Lahiri ayanamsa, Swiss Ephemeris. Lagna needs a birth time. Unknown time skips Lagna and warns. |
What is Mangal Dosha
Mangal Dosha, Manglik, Kuja Dosha and Chevvai Dosham are names for Mars occupying certain houses that traditional matching treats as a friction flag in marriage charts. It is a house-count from Lagna, often repeated from the Moon and sometimes Venus. It is not a medical diagnosis and it is not a ban on marrying.
Houses that cause it and why
The list used here is 1, 2, 4, 7, 8 and 12 in whole-sign houses. Those houses touch the body, family speech, home, partnership, longevity/in-laws and the bed. Mars there is read as heat in those rooms. The 2nd house is the most disputed item on the list, so it is a toggle.
Lagna vs Moon vs Venus
From Lagna the dosha is tied to the body and the house structure. From the Moon it is tied to mind and the matching Moon-to-Moon screen. From Venus it is a relationship-karaka check some writers add. This page’s default verdict uses Lagna + Moon. Venus is visible in every result. Without a birth time, Lagna is skipped and Moon + Venus are used, with a warning.
Cancellation (Parihara) rules
A surface hit can still be cancelled. Auto-applied here: Mars in Aries, Scorpio or Capricorn; Jupiter conjunct Mars or casting 5th/7th/9th aspect. Listed but not auto-cleared: the sign-house exception table, Mars in Leo or Aquarius, Mars with the Moon, Mars strong in D9. Age 28 stays off. Two Manglik charts cancelling each other is a matching rule.
Manglik and marriage: what it does and doesn't mean
The flag is a traditional caution in matching, not a prediction that a relationship will fail. Plenty of charts show the dosha and a cancelled remainder. A non-Manglik partner is not “incompatible” by this page alone. For marriage questions, run both charts through 36 gunas, then read 7th houses, Venus and dashas.
Remedies mentioned in tradition
Popular notes mention kumbh vivah, fasting on Tuesdays, and Mars mantras. They are listed as tradition, not as services this site performs. This page does not sell a remedy. Results are educational and for entertainment, not medical, legal or financial advice.

FAQ
How do I know if I'm Manglik?+
In this calculator you are Manglik when Mars occupies the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th or 12th whole-sign house from Lagna, and the same houses from the Moon (Venus if you turn that on). The verdict card then says Mild, Moderate or Strong from how many of those references hit, or Present but cancelled if a used parihara applies.
What is Anshik/partial Manglik?+
Partial / Anshik here means 1 or 2 counted references hit, not all three. The page labels that Mild (one) or Moderate (two). High / Strong is three counted references. Schools differ on whether the 2nd house and Venus count, which is why those are toggles.
Does Manglik dosha get cancelled?+
Often. This page auto-applies Mars in own sign or exaltation, and Jupiter conjunct or aspecting Mars. Other common notes — sign-house exceptions, Leo/Aquarius, Moon conjunction, D9 strength — are listed as ✓/✗ and do not change the points unless you treat them as your school. Partner-also-Manglik is a matching rule, shown here as not used.
Can a Manglik marry a non-Manglik?+
Traditional matching often prefers two Manglik charts together, because the dosha is said to cancel between them. A Manglik / non-Manglik pair is not a medical or legal bar. Use the 36-guna page for both Manglik checks plus Nadi and Bhakoot, then read the 7th houses rather than treating this one flag as a marriage verdict.
Does Manglik dosha end at 28?+
Some popular notes say the dosha reduces after 28. That folk rule is listed here and is off. Turning it on would only mark the row; this page does not silently clear a Strong verdict at age 28.
Is 2nd house Mars Manglik?+
Many North Indian lists include the 2nd house. Some do not. The default here counts it. Use the “count 2nd house” toggle if your family panchang omits it.
Is Manglik checked from Moon or Lagna?+
Both. The common flag on this site uses Lagna and Moon. Venus is shown in the table and is counted when you ask for it, or when birth time is unknown so Lagna cannot be trusted. Kuja / Chevvai Dosham names the same Mars-house screen in South Indian usage.
