Which aspect of horoscope tells about Pitru Dosha?
Pitru Dosha in a horoscope is identified by analyzing the ninth house, which represents ancestors, blessings, and dharma. Malefic planets like Rahu, Ketu, or Saturn in the ninth house or aspecting it can indicate Pitru Dosha. Additionally, a weak Sun or affliction to the Sun in the chart signifies ancestral karmic debts. Remedies often involve performing rituals like Shradh, Tarpan, or donating to honor and pacify the ancestors.
The ninth house and the Sun in a horoscope reveal Pitru Dosha. Afflictions from Rahu, Ketu, or Saturn to these signify ancestral karmic debts. Additionally, specific placements in the fifth house or eighth house may also hint at Pitru Dosha. Remedies include performing Shradh rituals and chanting ancestral mantras.
Pitru Dosha or ancestral karmic debt results from unresolved duties or obligations toward one’s ancestors. The following factors can indicate Pitru Dosha in an individual’s natal chart:
- Afflictions to the 9th house or its lord by malefic planets (Saturn, Rahu, Ketu, or Mars)
- A weak or afflicted Sun
- Afflictions to the 2nd house or its lord such as Rahu/Ketu or Saturn’s placement

- Rahu or Ketu in 1st, 5th or 9th house
- An afflicted 8th house or its lord
- Rahu in conjunction with Sun or Moon
