Mangal Dosha is determined by counting the house Mars occupies from two reference points: your lagna (ascendant) and your Moon sign. If Mars lands in the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th, or 12th house from either point, that placement is traditionally considered dosha-forming — a factor Vedic astrology associates with friction, delay, or intensity in married life if left unaddressed.
This free checker calculates both counts using real sidereal astronomy and the Lahiri ayanamsa, the same method used throughout AstroMystra's calculators. It's a quick, honest first look at your Manglik status — not a full analysis.
A complete Mangal Dosha reading also considers which sign Mars occupies, whether it is aspected by benefic planets like Jupiter, and whether any classical cancellation (parihara) applies — for example, Mars in its own sign, in its exaltation sign, or in the 1st house. This checker intentionally does not evaluate those factors; for the full picture, see AstroMystra's AI-powered Mangal Dosha Analysis.
Provide your date, time, and place of birth. An exact birth time is needed for the lagna-based check, since the ascendant shifts roughly every two hours.
We calculate Mars's real sidereal position at your exact birth moment, along with your lagna and Moon sign, using the Lahiri ayanamsa.
Mars's house position from both your lagna and Moon is checked against the six dosha-forming houses (1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 12) to determine your Manglik status.
Mangal Dosha is a condition in Vedic astrology where Mars (Mangal) falls in the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th, or 12th house counted from the lagna or the Moon sign. It is primarily discussed in the context of marriage compatibility.
This free tool checks Mars's house position from your lagna and your Moon sign — the two most common reference points for Mangal Dosha. It does not check Mars from Venus, evaluate Mars's sign or planetary aspects, or apply classical cancellation (parihara) rules.
Yes. Classical Jyotish recognizes several cancellation conditions (parihara), such as Mars in its own sign or exaltation sign, Mars in the 1st house, or a strong aspect from Jupiter. This basic checker doesn't evaluate those — see our full AI Mangal Dosha Analysis for a complete read including cancellations.
It's required for the lagna-based check, since the ascendant changes roughly every two hours. Without a birth time, this tool can still check your Moon-based Manglik status.
