Mangal Dosha Checker

Mangal Doṣa (also called Kuja Doṣa or Maṅgalika) is a classical pattern where Mars sits in the 1st, 4th, 7th, 8th, or 12th house from the ascendant — houses that traditionally relate to marriage and partnership. Indian astrology evaluates this pattern carefully, with several classical cancellation factors that often soften or remove it entirely.

What This Reading Tells You

• •Whether Mangal Doṣa is present in your chart and how strongly.
• •Which house and sign Mars occupies, and what that combination classically indicates.
• •The classical cancellation factors that may apply — Mars in own/exalted sign, aspected by Jupiter, the partner also being Mangal, and others.
• •A calibrated reading — most modern Vedic teachers consider the doṣa overstated; we apply the cancellation rules honestly.

Classical Tradition

The doṣa is documented across classical and modern texts, treated most explicitly in Mantreśvara’s Phaladīpikā and contemporary systematizations (B.V. Raman, K.S. Charak). The classical view is that Mars in these houses brings tension to marriage themes — but every classical text also lists the cancellation factors that frequently soften the pattern.

How We Compute It

We identify Mars’s house position from the ascendant in your natal chart, then check against the classical cancellation rules: Mars in its own sign (Aries or Scorpio), exaltation (Capricorn), or debilitation (Cancer); Mars under benefic aspect (Jupiter or Venus); both partners being Mangal; and others. The output is graded: present, present-but-cancelled, or absent.

How To Read The Result

A present-and-uncancelled Mangal Doṣa traditionally calls for careful partner-matching but is not a verdict against marriage. Most modern Vedic astrologers treat it as one input among many. The cancellation rules apply in a majority of cases — read the specifics before drawing conclusions.
