Pitra Dosha Calculator

The calculator builds a sidereal birth chart using your birth date, exact time and place. It counts whole-sign houses from the ascendant, then checks whether the Sun shares a sign with Rahu or Ketu and whether either node is in the ninth house. A result means one of these selected placements is present; it is not a complete assessment of Pitra Dosha. You can also view the planetary placements in your free Kundli birth chart.

The ninth house is traditionally associated with lineage, teachers and dharma. The Sun is also considered in some ancestral interpretations. A full chart reading considers the ninth lord, aspects, dignity and dasha. No single placement proves a family problem or a past-life cause.

In Vedic astrology, Pitra Dosha (Pitru Dosha) is the idea that a birth chart can show unresolved matters connected with ancestors. The word pitra means forefathers. Different schools define it in different ways, which is why you will find several lists of "Pitra Dosha combinations" online that do not match each other.

The Sun can stand for the father and for inherited patterns, and the ninth house is linked to lineage, teachers and dharma. Some traditions look closely when Rahu or Ketu joins the Sun or occupies the ninth house. These are interpretive conventions. They are not evidence that a person carries an ancestral debt.

A positive result tells you which combination triggered this calculator. The Sun and a node sharing a sign is a broad check and does not measure how close they are in degrees. A node in the ninth house is also only one placement. Both need context from the ninth lord, aspects and planetary strength.

Some astrologers also look at the Moon with a node, Saturn aspecting the Sun or the ninth house, an afflicted ninth lord, or planets in the ninth house in difficult signs. This calculator leaves those out on purpose so the result stays easy to explain. If your astrologer uses a wider definition, expect their answer to differ from this one.

The result does not judge the ninth-house lord, divisional charts, aspects, dasha timing or family history. The same placements can be read quite differently by different astrologers. Use the result as a starting point for understanding your chart and not as a diagnosis or a forecast of hardship.

Families who follow the tradition often observe Pitru Paksha, offer tarpan with water and sesame, perform shraddha rites, feed Brahmins or the needy, or donate in the name of ancestors, especially on Amavasya. Many people do these out of respect for family elders whether or not their chart shows anything. They are matters of faith and custom, not a prescription from this tool.

Pitra Dosha is one of the topics where people are most often pushed into expensive rituals. A chart placement does not prove that anything is wrong in your family. Be careful with anyone who links the result to illness, a death or bad luck, or who demands a large payment for a puja. If you want a ritual, speak to someone your family already trusts.

Use a recorded birth time and check AM and PM. The ascendant can change in about two hours, and that changes which sign counts as the ninth house. Pick the exact birthplace from the suggestions too, since the coordinates go into the calculation.

पितृ दोष की परिभाषा अलग-अलग ज्योतिष परंपराओं में बदलती है। यह कैलकुलेटर केवल दो प्रकार के संकेत देखता है: सूर्य का राहु या केतु के साथ एक ही राशि में होना, और राहु या केतु का लग्न से नवम भाव में होना।

सकारात्मक परिणाम किसी पारिवारिक समस्या या पूर्वजों के कारण को सिद्ध नहीं करता। पूरी कुंडली, नवम भाव के स्वामी और अन्य ग्रहों को साथ देखकर ही अर्थ निकालें। अपनी ग्रह स्थिति जन्म कुंडली में देख सकते हैं।
