Enter your birth date, time and place above and this free calculator tells you whether Angarak yoga, also called Angarak dosha, is present in your chart. You see the signs of Mars, Rahu and Ketu, whether Mars shares a sign with either node, the house the pair falls in and how many degrees apart they are. The verdict uses the same rule as the dosha panel of the free kundali, so the two always agree.
How it works
The calculator works out your sidereal planets (Lahiri ayanamsa, mean node) and your rising sign. If Mars and Rahu stand in the same sign, Angarak yoga is present. It also checks Mars with Ketu, which the free kundali lists as the Ketu form of Angarak, and reports it on its own line. Rahu and Ketu always stand in opposite signs, so Mars can share a sign with one of them at most.
Angaraka is one of the names of Mars; Jataka Parijata lists it among them (ch. 2, sloka 3, in V. Subrahmanya Sastri’s translation). The yoga itself is a name from later astrological writing. We have not found it in the classical texts we cite on this site, so the page names the rule it uses rather than a verse.
Reading the result
The answer at the top says whether the yoga is present and, if it is, the sign, the house from your rising sign and the distance between Mars and the node. A table then shows both pairs with the signs, whether they share one, the degrees apart and the status the free kundali gives. If a pair is present, the calculator adds what is worth knowing: whether Mars is in its own sign, exalted or debilitated, whether it is combust, and whether Jupiter’s aspect falls on the pair, which the free kundali lists as the classical softening factor for such pairs.
The guide to Mars and Rahu together and the guide to Mars and Ketu together describe how each pair is read in each house.
Where traditions differ
Because the yoga comes from later writing and not from one classical verse, definitions vary. Some count only Mars with Rahu, and some include Ketu, as the free kundali does in a separate line. Some count the pair whenever the two share a sign, and others also look at how close they are in degrees. This calculator follows the free kundali: the same sign decides it, and the degrees are shown for reference only.
Angarak yoga is a different thing from Mangal dosha. Mangal dosha looks at the house Mars occupies counted from the rising sign, the Moon and Venus; the Mangal dosha calculator checks that.
What it does not do
It does not predict accidents, anger or any other event, and it offers no remedy. Mars with a node is a pattern to read with the rest of the chart: the strength of Mars, the house, the aspects and the dasha running. Many charts have it, and nothing here is a reason for worry.
Frequently asked questions
↳ What is Angarak yoga?
Angarak yoga, or Angarak dosha, is the name later astrological writing gives to Mars and Rahu in the same sign. Angaraka is one of the names of Mars. This calculator uses the rule of our free kundali: Mars and Rahu in one sign.
↳ How do I check Angarak yoga in my kundli?
Enter your birth date, time and place above. The calculator checks whether Mars shares a sign with Rahu or with Ketu, shows the house and the degrees between them, and gives the same verdict as the dosha panel of the free kundali.
↳ Does Mars with Ketu count?
The free kundali lists Mars with Ketu separately, as the Ketu form of Angarak, and this calculator does the same, so the result keeps the two lines apart.
↳ Is Angarak yoga the same as Mangal dosha?
No. Angarak yoga is Mars with Rahu in one sign. Mangal dosha is Mars in the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th or 12th house counted from the rising sign, the Moon or Venus. A chart can have one, both or neither.
↳ Is Angarak yoga in the classical texts?
We have not found the yoga itself in the classical texts we cite on this site. The name and the rule come from later writing, which is why definitions vary and why the page names the rule it uses.
↳ Should I worry if it is present?
No. It is one pattern among many, and a reading weighs it with the strength of Mars, the house and the dasha. The page makes no prediction and recommends nothing to buy.
