Your Lagna (ascendant) and Mars placement are calculated from these details. Only your chart is needed — no partner required.
Why Cancellation Conditions Change Everything
Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra prescribes 6 conditions under which Manglik Dosha is cancelled or reduced. Most astrologers check only Mars position and declare you Manglik — without verifying whether your chart satisfies any Dosha Bhanga (cancellation) rules. This leads to unnecessary worry and rejected marriage matches based on incomplete analysis.
“Our families almost rejected the match because of Manglik dosha. The report showed Mars was in its own sign — cancellation condition #1 applied. Our pandit confirmed it. We got married last year.”

“Three websites said I'm Manglik. This report checked from Lagna, Chandra, and Shukra — showed 2 cancellations apply and severity was Alpa (mild). My mother finally agreed to the match.”

Manglik Dosha — Frequently Asked Questions
Manglik Dosha (also called Mangal Dosha or Kuja Dosha) is determined by Mars placement in your birth chart. Per Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra (Chapter 81 — Manglik Dosha Vichar), if Mars occupies the 1st, 4th, 7th, 8th, or 12th house from Lagna (ascendant), Chandra (Moon), or Shukra (Venus), the native is classified as Manglik. However, the crucial question is not whether Mars is in these houses — but whether classical cancellation conditions (Dosha Bhanga) neutralize the effect. BPHS describes 6+ such exceptions, and most free tools check none of them.
The Manglik label alone is incomplete without checking cancellation conditions prescribed in BPHS. For example: if Mars is in its own sign (Mesha or Vrishchika), the dosha is significantly weakened. If Jupiter (Guru) casts its benefic aspect (Shubha Drishti) on the 7th house, the negative effects are neutralized. If Mars is conjunct with benefic planets, or if your partner also has Mars in Manglik houses (mutual cancellation), the dosha may not apply at all. Our analysis checks all 6 classical conditions — not just the Mars position.
Yes, in many cases — particularly when cancellation conditions apply. The common advice to only marry Manglik-to-Manglik is an oversimplification of the original shastric rules. Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra and Phaladeepika both describe scenarios where a Manglik can marry a non-Manglik safely: when Mars is in own sign or exaltation, when benefic aspects neutralize the 7th house, or when the overall Ashtakoot gun milan score is above 18 with no Nadi Dosha. The full report analyzes your specific chart against all these conditions.
Severity (Alpa, Madhyama, Purna) depends on which house Mars occupies, its dignity (own sign, exaltation, or debilitation), and whether the dosha appears from Lagna only or from Chandra and Shukra as well. Mars in the 7th or 8th house is generally more impactful than the 1st or 4th. Mars in its own sign (Mesha/Vrishchika) or exaltation (Makara) reduces severity. If the dosha appears from all three reference points — Lagna, Chandra, and Shukra — it is considered Purna (full). Our report calculates a precise severity score factoring all these variables.
Nadi Dosha is a separate compatibility factor checked during Ashtakoot gun milan (eight-fold compatibility matching). It is determined by comparing the Moon's nakshatra (birth star) of both partners and relates to health and progeny compatibility. Nadi Dosha carries 8 points — the highest weight in Ashtakoot — and has its own set of exceptions based on nakshatra pada and rashi. We check both Manglik and Nadi Dosha with their respective exception rules in the full compatibility report.
