Mangal Dosha Calculator (Kuja Dosha)
Analyze your birth chart for Manglik / Mangal Dosha (Mars placement in 1st, 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th, or 12th houses from Lagna or Moon).
How I Calculate Mangal Dosha
Mangal Dosha (Kuja Dosha) occurs when Mars (Mangal) is placed in specific houses—1st, 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th, or 12th—relative to the Ascendant (Lagna) or Moon. In Vedic astrology, Mars represents heat, drive, and assertive energy in partnerships.
I evaluate Mangal Dosha by extracting Mars's exact sign and house coordinates using Swiss Ephemeris (`pyswisseph`) routines under Lahiri Ayanamsha.
The engine checks for Mars in houses 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, and 12 from both Lagna and Moon, while checking standard classical exceptions (such as Mars in its own sign Aries/Scorpio or exalted in Capricorn) which cancel or soften the dosha.

Houses Involved in Mangal Dosha
House 1 (personality/temperament), House 2 (family harmony), House 4 (home peace), House 7 (marriage/spouse), House 8 (longevity/joint assets), and House 12 (intimacy/expenses).
Classical Cancellations & Neutralizations
Vedic astrology recognizes many cancellation rules (Bhanga)—such as Mars placed in its own sign, aspected by Jupiter, or paired with a fellow Manglik partner.
Constructive Energy Alignment
Mars energy is best directed toward shared physical activity, open communication, and constructive passion rather than fear or anxiety.
