Frequently Asked Questions
What is Grah Dosh in Vedic astrology?
Grah Dosh refers to planetary afflictions or challenging alignments in a birth chart. These aren't "bad luck" but rather cosmic patterns that highlight areas of life requiring awareness, effort, or healing. Common doshas include Shani Dosh (Saturn's challenging aspect), Guru Chandal Dosh (Jupiter-Rahu conjunction), and Pitra Dosh (Sun-Node affliction related to ancestral patterns).
How accurate is this Grah Dosh calculator?
This calculator uses full Keplerian orbital mechanics with iterative equation solving, not simplified tabular data. Planetary positions are accurate to within ~0.1° (approximately 7-8 arc-minutes). It employs Lahiri Ayanamsa for sidereal conversion and calculates true Rahu/Ketu node positions with perturbation corrections.
What should I do if a Grah Dosh is detected?
Awareness is the first step. Each dosh carries both challenges and hidden strengths. For example, Shani Dosh builds resilience and discipline; Guru Chandal Dosh sharpens discernment. Practical remedies include mindfulness practices, charitable acts, mantra meditation, and conscious alignment with the positive qualities of the involved planets.
