Mangal Dosha Check

Deluxe Astrology's Mangal Dosha calculator checks all 6 triggering houses (1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 12) in your Rasi chart, assesses Mars's dignity and classical cancellation conditions, and rates dosha severity from negligible to strong.

Mangal Dosha — also called Kuja Dosha or Chevvai Dosham in South Indian traditions — is one of the most checked conditions in Vedic marriage astrology. A person with this placement is called Manglik (or Mangalik) in common usage. Mars sitting in the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th, or 12th house of a birth chart creates this dosha. The concern is straightforward: Mars is a hot, aggressive graha. When it occupies houses directly connected to marriage (7th), domestic peace (4th), or the spouse's longevity (8th), its energy can create friction, arguments, or delayed marriage.

But context changes everything. Mars in its own sign Aries or Scorpio in the 7th house behaves very differently from a debilitated Mars in Cancer in the same position. Jupiter's aspect on Mars neutralizes much of the aggression. And the most practical cancellation? Both partners being Manglik — which is far more common than people realize. Classical texts like Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra list over a dozen cancellation conditions. A blanket "you are Manglik, marriage will fail" verdict from a basic calculator ignores all of this nuance. This tool checks every cancellation rule.
