By the rule most calculators use, you are Manglik when Mars sits in the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th or 12th house. It is usually counted from the rising sign (lagna), and often also from the Moon and from Venus.
Being Manglik is also called Mangal dosha. Mangal is the Hindi name for Mars.

Where does the Manglik rule come from?
The Manglik rule is a popular tradition. Families often bring it up when they compare charts before a marriage. It is not in the classical texts our readings are checked against.
That doesn't make it meaningless to the people who hold it. It does mean nobody should be afraid of it.
What do we do instead?
We don't sell remedies for Mars. If partnership is the part of life that keeps repeating for you, the free reading looks at the planets that actually have a say in it in your chart, with your dates.

Open the sample readingAm I Manglik if only one count says yes?
By the strictest reading, yes. But by that reading, nearly nine in ten people are Manglik. That is why many families look only at the count from the rising sign.
Can a Manglik marry someone who isn’t?
Of course. The rule is a tradition, not a law of nature. Many people who follow it also follow its long list of exceptions. We don't grade those.
Does Manglik mean something bad will happen?
A placement shared by about half of everyone is not a verdict on a marriage. And we don't make predictions.
Why is my result different on another site?
Sites differ in which counts they use (rising sign, Moon, Venus), in whether they apply exceptions, and in the zodiac. We show each count on its own, in the Vedic zodiac, with no exceptions applied.
Partnership, read properly.
