Guide ## How to read a dosha 1. ### A dosha is a flag, not a verdict The texts that name a dosha also say when it does not apply. A calculator that only says yes or no has done half the work. Each check here grades the dosha and lists the cancellations it found in your chart. 2. ### The whole chart is read, not one line of it One placement does not describe a person or a marriage. The lagna, the Moon, the dasha running now and the strength of the planets all change how much a dosha counts. Read the result beside your full kundli. 3. ### What the texts prescribe is an observance Where the tradition prescribes a remedy, it is a fast, a prayer, a visit or an act of giving. Where a remedy is listed here, the text it comes from is named. FAQ ## Dosha questions, answered Short answers about what a dosha is and which one to check. A dosha is read on the whole chart. Start with your kundli. [Make my free kundli](https://vedicsense.in/kundli) What is a dosha in a kundli? A dosha is a placement or pattern in a birth chart that the classical texts mark for a closer look. It is not a judgement on a person. Most doshas come with stated conditions that reduce or cancel them, and a full reading weighs the whole chart. Which dosha should I check first? Check the one you have been asked about. For a marriage, families usually ask for the Manglik check first, then Nadi and Bhakoot from the two charts together. Sade Sati and Shani Dhaiya are Saturn's transit periods, so they are about timing. Can a dosha be cancelled? Often, yes. The texts that define a dosha also list what cancels it. For Mangal dosha that includes a strong, well placed Mars, or both partners carrying the dosha. Each check here tests those conditions and shows which ones apply to your chart. Are these dosha checks free? Yes. Every check on this page is free and shows its working, with no sign-up for the answer. Free account ## Save your family's kundlis in one place Save each birth once.
