Pitra Dosha

In Jyotish, Pitra Dosha refers to chart indications linked to ancestral karma. It is often associated with the Sun, 9th house, and the influence of Rahu, Ketu or Saturn. In Hindu tradition, remembering ancestors through shraddha and tarpan is a long-standing duty and an act of respect.

Who it is for

People who have been told they have Pitra Dosha and want to understand it, and families wishing to learn about ancestor-remembrance traditions.

What the consultation covers

• The Sun, 9th house and 9th lord, and their conditions
• Rahu, Ketu and Saturn's influence on these points
• Traditional meanings, stated carefully
• Family practices: tarpan, shraddha, charity, Pitru Paksha observances
• How each tradition in your family or community handles them (for example, some Maharashtrian families observe shraddha with their family priest)

What to provide

Birth details and, if relevant, your family's customs.

Limitations

Pitra Dosha is an interpretation. It is not proof that ancestors are displeased and no medical, financial or family problem should be attributed to it without other evidence. Please be wary of anyone who uses it to create fear.
