Pitra Dosha is considered very important in the view of Vedic astrology. Due to this dosha, the native does not have mental peace despite having everything in his life; his work gets spoiled almost before completion, he has to face unwanted problems, and along with that, due to immense love in the family, it becomes difficult for the family to sit together for some time. The native either does not get the happiness of children, or if he does get it, then he remains distant from the children, and the children go on the wrong path and insult him.
Yoga of Pitra Dosha—When the Sun, Moon, or Jupiter in the birth chart of the native is afflicted by the inauspicious planets Saturn, Rahu, or Ketu and is placed in the Lagna, 5th, 9th, or 10th, then this dosha is formed. There are many misconceptions about this dosha, due to which the common man is scared and entangled in many types of worship or remedies. Therefore, one should think very carefully and take measures regarding this dosha, by which many people also earn their money, but nothing comes out. Due to the presence of Jupiter in the seventh or eighth house in the horoscope, the person must have cheated his life partner in the previous birth, or the person leaves the house to avoid family responsibilities; that is why he is not able to get domestic and marital happiness in this birth.
Results of Pitra Dosha—Many sages are of the opinion that due to this dosha, one has to face troubles and problems throughout life. Due to which the person has to suffer from his children, or he suffers loss of money due to some bad habit and criminal activities. The person gets unnecessarily entangled in government work and gets punished in prison. There is an obstacle in the growth of the lineage or education of the person. Such a person does not get physical disease or marital happiness.
According to other yogas, if the Moon is afflicted in the seventh house in the horoscope of the person, then the person had given trouble to his mother due to his wife in the previous birth; that is why his marital happiness is diminished in this birth. If the Moon is afflicted in the fourth house, then the person must have given trouble to his mother in the previous birth; that is why the happiness of the mother decreases in the current birth, and he pays his debt by serving her throughout his life. Such a person is also cursed with many diseases, due to which he has to suffer from some disease throughout his life. This is also called Matra Rin Dosh.
In some Pitra Dosh, the ancestors of the person are cursed, due to which they are not able to remain satisfied in their womb, due to which their descendants also have to pay for it. Just as the children use the property of their father or grandfather, similarly the descendants have to pay for the good and bad deeds of their ancestors. If this dosha is present in the horoscope of a person, then it is due to the deeds of many births, and this dosha is suffered by many generations after one generation.
