How do I check Pitra Dosh in my kundali?

Look for: Rahu or Ketu in the ninth house; the Sun conjunct Rahu in any house; Saturn afflicting the ninth house or its lord; or the ninth house lord in the sixth, eighth, or twelfth house. Secondary indicators include malefic planets in the fifth house, severely afflicted Jupiter, or Moon conjunct Rahu. Saturn and Rahu together form Shrapit Yoga, a strong ancestral karma signal. A qualified pandit needs the full chart and family Shraddha history alongside these placements for a complete assessment.
