Pitra Dosh

You need to understand that Pitra Dosh is not the curse of your ancestors; it is the sum total of your forefathers’ misdeeds that have followed you into this birth. Pitru Dosha could occur in your life if your ancestors had killed, tortured or stolen from someone, or if they had gathered wealth using wrong means or had harbour wrong intentions throughout their lives.

So, if your elders or ancestors had committed these sinful deeds or had been involved in deceit and malefic practices, you will have to pay for their past karma in this birth. This is the reason for the Pitra dosh to appear in your horoscope. You will have to bearmany punishments in various aspects of your life.

This type of dosh can be nullified by either constantly performing good deeds or just waiting until the punishment period is over. The beneficial effects of a different planet and Mahadasha Will be of no use when this dosh is ongoing. If you face unexpected problems time and again or you are not able to conceive a child, these are signs that you might have Pitra dosh. However, this is a generalised way of viewing the dosh.

There are varied planetary combinations which could cause the arrival of different kinds of Pitra Dosha in your life. These planetary positions could occur between Rahu and Ketu, Venus, Saturn and Rahu. Many other such patterns can also be formed.
