Manglik dosha: common questions
What is Manglik dosha?
Manglik (Mangal dosha or kuja dosha) is the traditional rule that Mars in the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th or 12th house affects marriage matching. It is checked from the lagna and from the Moon; some also check from Venus.
How common is it?
Very common. Six of the twelve houses count, from two starting points, so a large share of all people (often quoted as 40 to 50 percent) are Manglik by at least one count. That is one reason astrologers weigh it very differently.
What cancels Manglik dosha?
Commonly quoted cancellations include Mars in its own sign (Mesha, Vrishchika) or exalted (Makara), Mars with Jupiter or aspected by Jupiter, Mars with the Moon, certain sign and house pairs, and both partners being Manglik. We list the ones that apply to your chart.
Does Manglik end at age 28?
This is a popular belief, not a rule from the classical texts. Mars matures around 28 in some traditions, which is why some families relax about it after that age.
