Manglik calculator
Whether Mars sits in a manglik house of your chart, by the one rule with a source, with the other common counts shown beside it.
- The verdict by the sourced rule
- Mars counted from the lagna, the Moon and Venus
- Variants labelled, never mixed into the verdict
Manglik: no
Mars is in the 6th house from the lagna, outside the 1st, 4th, 7th, 8th and 12th. Khankhoje 1943, pp. 223–226
By common practice, not in the texts read, Mars would also count from the Moon. That never changes the verdict.
The sourced rule
Mars in the 1st, 4th, 7th, 8th or 12th house from the lagna, in either partner’s chart, is held harmful to the marriage. Khankhoje 1943, pp. 223–226
Other counts
Common practice adds the 2nd house, or counts from the Moon or Venus. The texts read do not; these counts are shown beside the verdict and never change it.
For a couple
Matching two charts adds Khankhoje’s own cancellation for a couple. Kundli matching
Questions
The rule, its source, and what is only common practice.
What is manglik dosha?
Mars placed in certain houses of a birth chart, held to be harmful to a marriage. The rule used here: Mars in the 1st, 4th, 7th, 8th or 12th house from the lagna, in either partner’s chart. It is a 1943 author’s exposition; no classical text read states the rule for birth charts. Khankhoje, Sulabh Jyotiṣ Jñān (1943), pp. 223–226
Which houses count?
The 1st, 4th, 7th, 8th and 12th, counted from the lagna. The 2nd is not in the list. Khankhoje, Sulabh Jyotiṣ Jñān (1943), pp. 223–226
What about the 2nd house, or counting from the Moon or Venus?
They are common practice, not in the texts read. The answer shows them separately, and they never change the verdict.
Can it be cancelled?
Khankhoje gives one rule for a couple: if the groom’s Mars is in the 1st, 4th or 12th, the bride’s Mars should be in the same houses, or failing that her Saturn. He adds that Mars’s strength by sign and degree should be weighed first. No other cancellation has a source in hand, so none is applied. Khankhoje 1943, p. 226
Why is there no verdict without a birth time?
The houses are counted from the lagna, which needs the time of birth. Without one, only Mars’s place from the Moon is shown: common practice, not in the texts read.
How it is worked out
Read the methodology- The rule
- Mars in the 1st, 4th, 7th, 8th or 12th house from the lagna: Khankhoje, Sulabh Jyotiṣ Jñān (1943), pp. 223–226.
- Houses
- Whole signs from the lagna. The counts from the Moon and Venus, and the 2nd house, are common practice, not in the texts read, and never change the verdict.
- Cancellation
- Only Khankhoje’s own rule for a couple, described above; none is applied to a single chart.
- Privacy
- Your details go to the calculation once and are not stored, unless you open the full kundli, which saves a chart.
