Pitra Dosha is a powerful concept in Vedic astrology that connects your present-life struggles with the unfulfilled karmas of your ancestors. When ancestors’ souls are not at peace, their energy may reflect as obstacles, delays, and repeated problems in the descendant’s life.

Is Pitra Dosha real?
How does it affect life, marriage, career, and health?
And most importantly—how can it be resolved?

🔮 What Is Pitra Dosha?

Pitra Dosha forms in a birth chart when ancestors’ karmic debts remain unresolved.
Astrologically, it is usually linked with:

• Affliction to the 9th house (ancestors, fortune)
• Sun or Moon being afflicted
• Rahu/Ketu influence on the 9th house or its lord

Pitra Dosha does not mean a curse—it indicates pending ancestral responsibilities.

⚠️ Common Symptoms of Pitra Dosha

A person affected by Pitra Dosha may experience:

• Repeated failures despite effort
• Career stagnation or instability
• Financial problems across generations
• Delay or problems in marriage
• Childbirth issues
• Sudden losses in family
• Mental stress, fear, or restlessness
• Family disputes without clear reason

👉 These problems often repeat generation after generation.
