The wrong alignment of planets and stars or the faults in our stars can have a very adverse effect on our lives. However, Vedic astrology brings to you solutions to avoid such malefic planetary influences.  

Indeed, Vedic astrology has a say in whatever we achieve or fail to achieve in our lives.

There are 9 planets and the position of these planets in a person’s horoscopes plays a significant role in his/her life. So, when the planets holding our positive karmic deeds come into function, we get favourable outcomes in our lives; however, when the planets holding our negative karmas in life come into play, we experience the opposite. 

So, let us further try to understand this fascinating science:

Graha Dosh 

• Mangal Dosha:  For mangliks, Mars is in the first, second, fourth, seventh, eighth and twelfth house. A weak mangal in kundali can cause you problems related to marriage. When a person mixes with a manglik, he/she can also suffer. However, there are some exceptions if Mars is sitting in its own Rashi houses. An astrologer can give you a better idea.  
• Nadi Dosha: Before a couple can get married, astrologers look for Nadi Maha Dosha, also known as Nadi Dosha. The Nadi dosha causes people to withdraw marriage proposals. The nadi dosha causes infertility, difficulty in conceiving, marital crisis, mentally disabled children, and a lack of physical intimacy between couples. A professional astrologer can guide you on this if you are seeking a remedy.  
• Guru Chandal Dosh: The Planet “Jupiter” which is also known as “Guru” is of utmost importance in developing the intellectual capabilities and wealth of a person. Guru Chandal Dosh occurs when Rahu/Ketu and guru are in conjunction. It can cause financial debt, inconsistencies in school and work, frequent marital conflicts and alienation from people who are close to the individual.
• Grahan Dosh: Also known as Chandra Grahan Dosh and Surya Grahan Dosh. It occurs when the sun and moon are in conjunction with rahu and Ketu. It can cause frequent marital disputes, and miscarriages and even if the child is conceived – he/she would suffer from illness. Also, the bearer is prone to mental illnesses like depression. 
• Gandamool Dosh: The Gandmool Dosha is a Sanskrit term that refers to the astrological chart placement of one’s natal Moon at the time of birth. When one’s natal Moon falls within any of the six of the 27 stars that make up one’s planetary alignment, then they are said to be born with the Gandmool Dosha. The naksatras (stars) are: Ashwini, Revati, Magha, Ashlesha, Jyestha, and Moola, and are known to be ruled by Rahu and Ketu. This doshas not only affects the child, but it also affects the father of the child and also the family members. 
• Kaal Sarp Dosha: This condition occurs when Rahu is in the 10th house, Ketu is in the 4th house and the planets are squeezed in between. It can lead to the person facing challenges in life such as unhappiness and struggles in personal as well as professional lives.   
• Pitru Dosh: Carrying the weight of sins committed by ancestors. This dosha also occurs if proper shraddha rituals of ancestors or forefathers are not carried by their descendants. It can also occur if descendants do not treat their forefathers well. The bearer needs to make atone for the sins through punitive measures. It occurs when the planets in the 9th house, the sun, and Jupiter are in conjunction with Rahu and Ketu.
