When Sun or the lord of the ninth house is placed in the ninth house of a horoscope and it is afflicted by a malefic planet which is also placed in the ninth house, Pitra Dosh is formed in the ninth house of such horoscope. Pitra Dosh in the ninth house can cause many types of problems for the native under its impact, depending on its strength and on the overall horoscope of the native. Pitra Dosh formed in the ninth house of a horoscope is undoubtedly the worst type of Pitra Dosh as this is the only house of the horoscope where the Sun itself can form Pitra Dosh by afflicting a house. Ninth house is the only house of a horoscope which can lead to the formation of double Pitra Dosh in the horoscope, if malefic planets are placed in this house.
As we already know that the affliction of any malefic planet to the ninth house of a horoscope can form Pitra Dosh in the horoscope, if the ninth house of a horoscope is afflicted by virtue of the placement of one or more than one malefic planets in this house along with Sun, double Pitra Dosh may be formed in the horoscope. For example, if a combination of malefic Rahu and Sun is placed in the ninth house of a horoscope in the sign of Cancer, such result may be experienced. Malefic Rahu may afflict Sun as well as the ninth house of this horoscope and hence double Pitra Dosh may be formed in the horoscope. Similarly, the presence of any other malefic planet in the ninth house of a horoscope can lead to the formation of double Pitra Dosh in such horoscope.
Pitra Dosh formed in the ninth house of a horoscope can trouble the native almost on every front of his life and it can cause serious problems in one or two spheres of native’s life, which are generally permanent in nature. Ninth house is the house of luck in a horoscope and the formation of Pitra Dosh in this house of a horoscope can reduce or destroy the luck of the native; and no one can achieve much without luck. Hence this type of Pitra Dosh can trouble the natives under its impact with a wide variety of problems or so to say, it can hit them almost in every sphere of their lives.
Some natives may feel the heat of such Pitra Dosh in the sphere of their profession due to which they may have to face many types of problems in their professions, depending on the overall tone of their horoscopes. Some of these natives may not find well paying jobs and they may have to engage in low paying as well as low standard jobs. In an extreme case of this type when such Pitra Dosh is strong and it is supported by other malefic planets of a specific type in a horoscope, the native under its impact may suffer from extremely tight financial equation throughout his life, primarily due to his inability to earn well from his profession.
When touching its extremes, this type of Pitra Dosh can produce beggars who may have to feed on the money donated by other people, people who may spend most of their lives in charitable organizations, people who may run away from their families and live in asylums for very long periods of time, people serving long sentences in prisons which may be far away from their homes and many other such people who may suffer from continuous and almost permanent types of troubles and miseries. Most people under the strong influence of this type of Pitra Dosh hold no respect in the society and on the contrary; they may have to keep facing social disgrace and disrespect, time and again in their lives.
This type of Pitra Dosh can trouble the natives under its impact with some of the strangest and most troublesome types of problems where the quantum of such problems depends on the overall horoscopes of these natives. For example, the natives randomly and suddenly chosen for kidnappings, the natives held captives or hostages for long periods of time, the natives having to spend long periods of time on deserted islands on account of shipwrecks, the natives taking wrong medicines by someone else’s mistake and getting ill for long periods of time, the natives getting injured or even killed in some kind of fight or crossfire in which they may not be involved at all; and all other types of natives who may not intentionally get themselves into troubles but who may get into such troubles on account of bad luck, may be under the strong malefic influence of Pitra Dosh present in the ninth house of their horoscopes.
The most troublesome aspect of this type of Pitra Dosh is that the natives under the strong influence of this defect may not suffer because of their own mistakes in many cases, and they may suffer on account of pure bad luck which may land them into troubles every now and then; even when they may have done nothing wrong to deserve such troubles. This is what makes it the most difficult to handle type of Pitra Dosh as there is virtually no wisdom or word of advice which can save people suffering from this type of Pitra Dosh.
Even the wisest of the people suffering from this type of Pitra Dosh may suffer from many types of problems, not only due to their mistakes, but because of their wisdom. It means that the natives suffering from such Pitra Dosh may have to face many problems due to their wisdom, their skills, their knowledge or some other qualities that they may possess; as some influential or powerful people may be jealous or fearful of their qualities. Hence such influential or powerful people may try to destroy these natives as they may see these natives as potential threats to them, in the future. You see, how Pitra Dosh formed in the ninth house of a horoscope can make even the best of your virtues; your greatest enemies.
Pitra Dosh in the ninth house of a horoscope can trouble the natives under its impact with many types of problems before and after their marriages, depending on the overall tone of their horoscopes. Some natives under its impact may not get married on time and their marriages may get delayed till late or very late in their lives. Some other natives suffering from this type of Pitra Dosh may have to face many types of problems after their marriages and such problems may intensify with the addition of other negative planets to their horoscopes. In an extreme case of this type when such Pitra Dosh is strong and it receives support from other marriage breaking planets in a horoscope, the native under its impact may have to go through more than one broken marriage.
Considering an example, if Pitra Dosh is formed due to the presence of malefic retrograde Saturn and Jupiter in the ninth house of a horoscope in the sign of Pisces, malefic Ketu is placed in the first house of this horoscope in the sign of Cancer and malefic Rahu is placed in the seventh house of this horoscope in the sign of Capricorn, the native may face problems. The native under the combined effect of such Pitra Dosh and other malefic planets may start facing problems soon after his marriage and such problems may intensify with the passage of time. These problems may ultimately break the marriage of the native after a making him suffer for a significant period of time and he may settle in his second marriage only.
At the same time, if malefic retrograde Venus is placed in the seventh house of this horoscope in the sign of Capricorn along with malefic Rahu; and malefic Mercury also joins this combination in the seventh house of this horoscope when all other planets are placed in the already mentioned houses of this horoscope, the equation may become much more negative. The native troubled by such Pitra Dosh and other malefic planet have to face more than one broken marriage and he may settle in his third or fourth marriage only, or such native may not get married after his second or third failed marriage and he may remain single for the rest of his life.
Apart from this, Pitra Dosh formed in the ninth house of a horoscope can trouble the native with many other types of problems depending on the overall tone of his horoscope. Vedic astrology is equipped with many remedies that can reduce the strength of Pitra Dosh formed in a horoscope. These remedies include the application of gemstones, yantras, poojas and charities. Doing suitable remedies can certainly help reduce the strength of this defect and the native may witness better or much better results in the spheres of his life, which are affected by Pitra Dosh in his horoscope.
