Symptoms of Pitra Dosh

Symptoms of Pitra Dosh: Pitra Dosh is considered a serious defect in Hinduism and astrology. This is a defect which deeply affects a person's life. It is believed that when ancestors remain dissatisfied or unsatisfied, their descendants have to face this defect. Its effect does not last only for one generation, rather it continues from generation to generation. If you are facing problems in your life like continuous financial crisis, discord at home and obstacles in having children, then it can be a sign of Pitra Dosh. Let us know what is Pitra Dosh, its main symptoms and what are the simple ways to get rid of it.

What is Pitra Dosh?

According to astrology, when there is a conjunction of Sun and Rahu (or sometimes Saturn, Ketu) in the horoscope or some special planetary positions are formed, then it is called Pitra Dosh. The presence of Rahu-Ketu in the ninth house (house of religion and father) and fifth house (house of children) also gives birth to it. This defect can also occur when the ancestors have not been offered the proper tarpan, shraddha or last rites, or they are sad or angry due to some reason.
