Manglik dosha, also called Mangal dosha or Kuja dosha, is a placement of Mars in the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th or 12th house of the birth chart. This calculator counts the house of Mars from your Lagna, your Moon and Venus, and shows the result from each one.
Use the time from your birth certificate if you have it. The house of Mars from your Lagna needs an accurate birth time.
What you will see
AI-powered Vedic charts, personalised daily remedies, and verified astrologers you can chat with, call or book.
Everything comes from one chart calculation, the same one the Lagna calculator uses.
The house of Mars counted from your Lagna, from your Moon and from Venus, each with its sign and a yes or no for a Manglik house.
Which of the three points Mars is in a Manglik house from, stated plainly, for example from the Lagna and the Moon.
When Mars is in the 2nd house from a point, the result says so and gives the count without the 2nd house too.
The sign Mars is in, and whether it is one of its own signs (Mesha, Vrishchika), its exaltation sign (Makara) or its debilitation sign (Karka).
Your birth chart in North Indian or South Indian style, so you can see Mars, the Moon and Venus in their houses.
If your Lagna, Moon, Venus or Mars sits close to the edge of a sign, the result says which count could change and how.
The house of Mars from your Lagna depends on the Lagna, and the Lagna changes sign about every two hours. A birth time that is off by an hour can move Mars into a different house from the Lagna.
The Moon moves about 13° a day, so the count from the Moon can change too when the Moon is near the edge of a sign. Mars and Venus move about a degree a day or less, so the count from Venus rarely depends on the birth time. If the result shows a note about an edge, that count is the one to double-check.

Vedic Astrology
DKSCORE calculates your chart in the sidereal zodiac with the Lahiri ayanamsa for your date, time and place of birth. This page then applies the Manglik rule to that chart.
The house of Mars is counted from the sign of your Lagna, the sign of your Moon and the sign of Venus. Mars in the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th or 12th from a point is a Manglik house from that point.
The sign of the reference point is the 1st house, the next sign the 2nd, and so on. Mars's house is the house of its sign.
The calculator reports where Mars is and the sign it is in. It does not apply cancellation rules or grade the dosha, because those rules vary between traditions.
