Questions people ask
What is Kaal Sarp dosh?
Kaal Sarp dosh (Kalasarpa yoga) is a birth chart in which all seven planets fall on one side of the Rahu–Ketu axis, hemmed between the two nodes. It is read from the chart at birth, so it never changes; this page checks it from your birth date, time and place.
How do I check Kaal Sarp dosh in my chart?
Enter your date, time and place of birth on this page and it casts the chart and checks whether every planet lies between Rahu and Ketu. It also says when a planet sits exactly on a node, which most schools treat as breaking the yoga, and whether it runs Rahu to Ketu (Kalasarpa) or the reverse (Kala Amrita).
What is Mangal dosha (manglik)?
Mangal dosha, also called manglik, kuja dosha or chevvai dosham, is Mars in certain houses of the birth chart, counted from the rising sign, the Moon and Venus. It is weighed in marriage matching; this page shows where Mars sits and which classical exceptions cancel it.
Is Mangal dosha canceled if both are manglik?
Yes, by the common rule: Mangal dosha on both sides, or on neither, is treated as matched. The horoscope matching page checks this for the two charts together, along with the eight kootas and ten poruthams.
