Pitru Paksha 2025: How does Pitra Dosh affect us?

Astrology suggests that Pitra Dosh can arise for various reasons. The primary cause is when a family member dies unexpectedly and their last rites and tarpan are not conducted properly with full rituals, causing the soul to wander even after death. This results in the deceased suffering in the afterlife, and their sadness and anger affect the living family members, particularly the head of the household, leading to Pitra Dosh.

Additionally, Pitra Dosha can occur if Ketu is aligned with the Sun in the second, eighth, or tenth house of a person's horoscope. To alleviate Pitra Dosha, religious ceremonies such as Shradh, Tarpan, and Havan-Puja should be performed. The Garuda Purana mentions that Pitra Paksha is the ideal time to resolve Pitra Dosha.
