How to find Pitra Dosh in Kundali

There are many combinations in a chart that can show pitra dosha, but mostly they include a combination of luminaries (Sun or Moon) with Rahu and Ketu. Some common combinations of Pitru dosha include:

1. Sun and Rahu/ Ketu conjunctions

This is one of the most direct combinations. The sun represents our father and our lineage, and Rahu and Ketu are considered to be karmic planets. This represents karmic blockages from a past life.

Ketu represents the things that we have mastered in a previous life, while the position of Rahu indicates where we need to learn and grow in this lifetime. In deciding the presence of pitra dosha, they play a critical role.

2. Afflicted 9th house

The 9th house represents our father, dharma, and fortune. If the 9th house or 9th lord is afflicted by planets like Rahu, Ketu, or Saturn, it suggests a strong possibility of pitra dosha. If the 9th house lord is placed in the 6th, 8th, or 12th houses in your chart, then it also indicates the possibility of a pitra dosh.

3. Rahu in the 9th house

Specifically, Rahu in the 9th house can lead to issues in fortune due to pitra dosha.

4. Rahu in the 1st house

If Rahu is in the ascendant (1st house) and the ascendant lord is in a malefic house (6th, 8th, or 12th) or the Sun is debilitated, Pitra Dosh may be present.
