When Sun or the lord of the ninth house is placed in the second house of a horoscope and it is afflicted by a malefic planet which is also placed in the second house, Pitra Dosh is formed in the second house of such horoscope. Pitra Dosh in the second house can cause many types of problems for the native under its impact, depending on its strength and on the overall horoscope of the native.

Pitra Dosh formed in the second house can trouble the natives under its impact with problems related to their professions due to which these natives may come across a number of problems through their professions, depending on their overall horoscopes. Some natives suffering from this type of Pitra Dosh may have to engage in low paying jobs and they may not find well paying jobs till late in their lives, despite being qualified for such jobs. If such Pitra Dosh is strong and it is supported by other malefic planets in a horoscope, the native under its impact may not find a well paying job till 41 years of his age and he may have to engage in low paying jobs. In an extreme case of its type when such Pitra Dosh is strong and it is supported by other malefic planets in a horoscope, the native under its impact may have to engage in labor class jobs throughout his life and he may have to face financial tightness for his entire life, due to not earning well from his profession.

Considering an example, if Pitra Dosh is formed due to the presence of malefic exalted Saturn in the second house of a horoscope in the sign of Libra along with debilitated Sun and retrograde Mercury; the native may suffer from this problem. The native under the malefic impact of such Pitra Dosh may not earn well from his profession and he may have to face financial tightness, at least till 36 years of his age. At the same time, if malefic debilitated Mars is placed in the eleventh house of this horoscope in the sign of Cancer along with malefic Ketu, malefic Rahu is placed in the fifth house of this horoscope in the sign of Capricorn and malefic Venus is placed in the twelfth house of this horoscope in the sign of Leo when all other malefic planets are placed in the already mentioned houses of this horoscope, the equation may become much more negative.

The native troubled by such Pitra Dosh and other malefic planets may not earn well from his profession for his entire life and he may only be able to get low paying or very low paying jobs. The collective influence of such Pitra Dosh and other malefic planets can also make this native remain jobless many times in his life and he may especially remain jobless for more than two years; during his age of 35 to 40. This native may have to suffer from extreme types of financial problems between these years of his age and he may only witness some relief after his age of 40 or even after his age of 41.

Some other natives under the impact of such Pitra Dosh may have to face financial losses through their businesses due to which they may not witness significant professional growth till late in their lives. If such Pitra Dosh is medium in strength, the native under its influence may face setbacks and financial losses through his business till his age of 41 and he may start seeing better results after that. However if such Pitra Dosh is strong and it is supported by other malefic planets in a horoscope, the native may have to witness financial losses and other types of setbacks through his business, till the end of his professional career. In an extreme case of its type when such Pitra Dosh is very strong and it is supported by other malefic planets of a specific type, the native under its impact may have to shut down his business many times in his life, on account of big financial losses and other types of setbacks.

This type of Pitra Dosh can also create problems in the sphere of marriage of the natives under its impact due to which some natives suffering from it may face many types of problems before and after their marriages. Some natives troubled by such Pitra Dosh may not get married till late or very late in their lives, depending on the strength of this defect in their horoscopes. Such Pitra Dosh can delay the marriages of some natives on account of many types of problems in their families, like a native suffering from it may have more than one sister and he may wish to get his sisters married before his marriage, as this native may not have his father. By the time this native gets his sisters married, it may become late or very late for him to get married.

Some other natives suffering from this type of Pitra Dosh may want to focus on their professions and they may decide to get married after achieving certain level of success in their professions. These natives may not achieve such level of success till late or very late in their lives due to the malefic impact of such Pitra Dosh; and hence their marriages may get delayed. I have personally witnessed many natives suffering from this type of Pitra Dosh who decided to get married after achieving the professional targets set by them. Such natives didn’t achieve those targets till their age of 36 or even till their age of 41; and hence they couldn’t get married till late in their lives. In an extreme case of this type when such Pitra Dosh is strong and it is supported by other marriage delaying planets in a horoscope, the native under its impact may not get married throughout his life, on account of various reasons depending on his overall horoscope.

This type of Pitra Dosh can also cause problems after the marriages of some natives where the type and quantum of such problems may be different in case of different natives, depending on the overall tone of their horoscopes. Some natives under the malefic impact of such Pitra Dosh may face problems in their marriages due to serious issues between their wives and their family members. If such Pitra Dosh is strong and it is supported by other marriages breaking planets in a horoscope, the native may face one or even more than one broken marriage on account of problems between his wives and his family members; as well as due to problems between him and his wives.

Pitra Dosh in the second house of a horoscope can also affect the lifespan of the native in a negative way and accordingly the natives under the impact of this type of Pitra Dosh are likely to have lifespan which may be shorter or much shorter than the average lifespan. Some of these natives may die at young ages; especially when this type of Pitra Dosh is formed due to the presence of malefic Rahu with Sun in the second house of a horoscope, or a combination of malefic Saturn and Sun is present in the second house of a horoscope. For instance, Pitra Dosh formed due to the presence of malefic exalted Saturn and debilitated Sun in the second house of a horoscope in the sign of Libra can significantly reduce the lifespan of the native and hence such native may die at a young age, on account of various reasons depending on the overall tone of his horoscope.

Pitra Dosh in the second house can also have an adverse impact on the education of the native due to which some natives under its influence may not perform well at their education, whereas some other such natives may have to discontinue their education due to various reasons, depending on their overall horoscopes. This type of Pitra Dosh may trouble the education of the native right from his childhood and hence the native may perform poorly at studies, right from his childhood. In an extreme case of its type, when such Pitra Dosh is strong and it is supported by other malefic planets in a horoscope, it can devoid the native of even basic education, on account of various reasons depending on his overall horoscope.

For example, Pitra Dosh formed due to the presence of malefic Mars and Sun in the second house of a horoscope in the sign of Gemini can make the native uninterested in studies and hence he may not receive much education due to his own unwillingness. On the other hand, Pitra Dosh formed due to the presence of malefic Mars in the second house of a horoscope in the sign of Aquarius along with Sun and Mercury may create serious problems in the family of the native; and the native may choose to discontinue studies in order to solve those problems.

Apart from this, Pitra Dosh formed in the second house of a horoscope can trouble the native with many other types of problems depending on the overall tone of his horoscope. Vedic astrology is equipped with many remedies that can reduce the strength of Pitra Dosh formed in a horoscope. These remedies include the application of gemstones, yantras, poojas and charities. Doing suitable remedies can certainly help reduce the strength of this defect and the native may witness better or much better results in the spheres of his life, which are affected by Pitra Dosh in his horoscope.
