Astrology has rightly highlighted that Pitra Dosh should rather be referred to as a mediation for cursed ancestors, because it helps one understand that there is unresolved karma tied to one’s ancestors. Many people get confused thinking this is a disease but it is actually a process to heal and grow. In this post, we shall study the phenomenon of Pitra Dosh, how to identify its signs and follow up with how we can reduce its impact.
What is Pitra Dosh?
In the simplest of forms, Pitra Dosh means certain unresolved duties or karmas associated with one’s ancestors represented in their astrological zodiac chart. One such reason may be due to lack of appropriate performance of the ancestral rites and/or rituals, due to scorn for customs, or due to lacking one’s duty towards the family tree. Rather than attributing Pitra Dosh to the curse’s nature, it could be viewed as the need to heal the ancestors and complete the tasks that were left unresolved by them.
3 Key Causes of Pitra Dosh in Astrology
- Ninth House Affliction: This is recourse to the worst level of Pitra Dosh which is believed to be very severe in terms of karma and ancestry problems. An afflicted ninth house has a more adverse meaning.
- Affliction to the Sun: If Pitra Dosh is caused due to malefic aspects over the Sun issues will be less critical than the case of direct ninth house affliction. Still, problems involving the scope of ancestral karma may be there.
- Affliction to Lord of Ninth House: The result of this ninth Pitra Dosh will generally constitute an affliction as seen with the ninth lord ie usually only a moderate dose of Pitra Dosh where some Karasa or ancestral karma exists, but these do not reach a high degree.
Ways to Remove the Problems Caused by Pitra Dosh
To transcend the effects of Pitra Dosh is through a deliberate attempt to respectfully acknowledge your ancestors and heal past life-threatening wounds. There are four powerful methods:
Remember Your Ancestors
Unresolved struggles incorporate a picture of the past that could if reminded, incorporate balance. Performing the Pitra Shraadh rituals like Tarpan and Pind Daan strengthens one’s connection with his/her ancestry and create a way to heal the karmic blockages in order to have more peace in life.
Perform Charitable Duties
Needy people should be fed as well as other acts should be done in the name of ancestors so that the Pitra Dosha can be relieved. Such altruistic activities serve to negate unpaid karmic balance and create some fresh impetus that boosts not only one’s own karmic development but also that of his entire family tree.
Heal Ancestral Relations
Relationship problems with family members can easily bring about due burdens. It can be therapy if blame is taken away and hurt is ignored while remaining respectful, open, and ready to cooperate within the family. These issues will not only help you, but they also serve your ancestors and the heritage that they bring.
Conclusion
Pitra dosha is an indicator of imbalance in karmas. It shows the karmic energy that needs to be resolved, to strengthen one’s roots. Therefore, if these simple things are done, together, we can create a future full of health, happiness, and abundance, where our karmic energy may thrive alongside every other aspect of life, and every family may be made stronger.
Seize control of your fate. Pay debts from family history and enter into a more promising tomorrow.
