Reasons And Effects of Pitra Dosh in The Kundli

Presence and Signs of Pitra Dosh in Kundali

Pitra Dosh in a birth chart is formed by the movements and placements of planets like the Sun, Moon, Rahu, Ketu, and Saturn. When Rahu & Ketu creates trouble for Sun in the 9th house, this causes Pitra Dosh in the birth chart. The presence of Pitra Dosh in the horoscope is shown when Rahu, Ketu, and Saturn afflict the Moon.

The placement of Ascendent and Rahu in the 9th house is also responsible for Pitra Dosh in Kundali.

The placement of Rahu in the 2nd house also gives rise to Pitra Dosh in kundali.

2. If your forefathers have done something wrong to outsiders or strangers, their cuss words might create dosh in kundali.
3. If the well-being of elderly people is neglected then dosha can occur in the horoscope.
