The fifth house of horoscope represents children, love affairs, romance, entertainment, creativity, fame, spiritual growth, politics and many other things. Pitra Dosh formed in the fifth house of a horoscope can create problems related to all these spheres and many other types of problems; depending on the overall horoscope in question.
Let’s first consider Pitra Dosh formed due to affliction to Sun in the fifth house. Suppose benefic Sun and malefic Saturn form Pitra Dosh in the fifth house of a horoscope in Sagittarius. In this case, Sun becomes the lord of the ascendant. Saturn represents the sixth and seventh house. Sun is stronger than Saturn in Sagittarius. Through its general and specific significances; Sun represents courage, confidence, intelligence, creativity, authority, father, health, immunity, lifespan, personality, profession and the ability to produce children in case of male natives, among other things. Through its general as well as specific significances; Saturn represents patience, discipline, marriage, husband, wife, partnerships, delays, diseases, disputes, disagreements, arguments, litigations, court cases, financial debts and crime among other things.
As a result, such Pitra Dosh may create problems related to health, lifespan, personality, profession, father, children, love life, spiritual growth, creativity and religion among other things. The type and quantum of such problems depend on the strength of such Pitra Dosh, on the overall horoscope as well as on the running times. The strength of such Pitra Dosh depends on the placements of Sun and Saturn in various nakshatras and navamshas within the sign of Sagittarius. Apart from this, influences of other benefic and malefic planets and the running times also affect the strength of this defect.
Looking at nakshatras, the sign of Sagittarius features three nakshatras; Moola, Poorvashada and Uttarashada. If both Sun and Saturn are placed in Moola, such Pitra Dosh may create serious problems. This type of Pitra Dosh may especially prove troublesome for health, lifespan and children. If Sun is placed in Moola and Saturn is placed in Poorvashada; the problems may be significant but not serious. This type of Pitra Dosh may especially prove troublesome for romance, love life, creativity and profession. When Sun is placed in Moola and Saturn is in Uttarashada nakshatra, the problems may become significant or serious; depending on the placement of Sun in various navamshas within Moola nakshatra. This type of Pitra Dosh may especially prove troublesome for romance, love life and children.
When Sun is placed in Poorvashada and Saturn is in Moola, the problems may be serious or very serious. This type of Pitra Dosh may create problems related to all significances of Sun, the first and the fifth house. If both Sun and Saturn are placed in Poorvashada, the problems may be significant. Such Pitra Dosh may especially prove troublesome for children, love life, profession and creativity. If Sun is placed in Poorvashada and Saturn is in Uttarashada, the problems may be significant or serious. This type of Pitra Dosh may especially prove troublesome for profession and children.
If Sun is placed in Uttarashada and Saturn is placed in Moola, the problems may be serious. Such problems may be related to all spheres affected by this type of Pitra Dosh, though the sphere of profession may not be troubled as much as the other spheres. When Sun is placed in Uttarashada and Saturn is in Poorvashada, the problems may be significant; especially for the spheres of children, love life and creativity. When both Sun and Saturn are placed in Uttarashada, the problems may be significant; especially for the spheres of love life, children and creativity.
Moving on to navamshas, such Pitra Dosh may form 81 combinations in various navamshas within the sign of Sagittarius. Let’s discuss some of them. When Sun is placed in Aries, Leo or Sagittarius navamsha and Saturn is placed in Aries, Leo, Scorpio or Sagittarius navamsha; the problems may be significant but not serious. When Sun is placed in Aries, Leo or Sagittarius navamsha and Saturn is placed in Taurus, Gemini, Virgo or Libra navamsha; the problems may become serious or very serious.
If Sun is placed in Taurus, Gemini, Cancer or Virgo navamsha and Saturn is placed in Taurus or Gemini navamsha, the problems may become very serious. Looking at the worst option, if Sun is placed in Libra navamsha and Saturn is placed in Taurus navamsha; such Pitra Dosh may cause maximum damage. This type of Pitra Dosh may create very serious problems related to all spheres of native’s life; affected by this defect.
Here again, whichever of these spheres are protected by benefic planets; they may suffer less. Whichever spheres are neither protected nor troubled; they may suffer significantly. The spheres which are troubled by other malefic planets also, may suffer the most.
Let’s consider the influences of benefic and malefic planets on such Pitra Dosh. If malefic Moon is placed in the fifth house, the quantum of problems may increase. The addition of malefic Rahu to the fifth house may further aggravate the problems. In this case; such Pitra Dosh may prove extremely difficult to handle and it may create serious problems related to all the spheres affected by it.
Looking at the sphere of love life; such Pitra Dosh may altogether deny the possibility of a love affair or it may get the native stuck in a troublesome love affair; depending on the finer factors as well as on the overall horoscope.
Such malefic combination may also get the native engaged in an extramarital affair. Such affair may break the marriage of this native and he may also have to face social disgrace due to such affair. Looking at another probability, the native may have a child through an extramarital affair and the child may remain hidden from the world for a significant period of time. After that, such affair as well as the child may come to the knowledge of people. This revelation may break the marriage of this native and he may lose the custody of his children from such marriage. The native may have to pay big amount of money towards the settlement of divorce and he may also face social disgrace and bad reputation. The term ‘big amount’ in this context is relative to native’s financial status which depends on his overall horoscope. It means if the native is a millionaire, he may have to pay millions through such court settlement. If he’s a billionaire, he may lose billions through such settlement.
Let’s discuss Pitra Dosh formed in the fifth house due to affliction to the lord of the ninth house by one or more than one malefic planet. Suppose, benefic Moon and malefic Ketu form Pitra Dosh in the fifth house of a horoscope in Pisces. Moon rules the ninth house in this case. Moon is strong in Pisces but Ketu is stronger since it is exalted in Pisces. Through its general and specific significances; Moon represents father, mother, spiritual growth, emotional wellbeing, education, religion and luck factor; among other things. Ketu represents delays, losses, destruction, the occult, unfortunate events and diseases among other things. As a result, such Pitra Dosh may trouble the general significances of Moon as well as the significances of the fifth and ninth house through the significances of Ketu.
Hence the native may face problems related to the spheres affected by such Pitra Dosh. The type and quantum of such problems depend on the strength of such Pitra Dosh as well as on the overall horoscope and running times.
Let’s start with nakshatras. The sign of Pisces features three nakshatras; Poorvabhadrapada, Uttarabhadrapada and Revati. If Moon and Ketu are placed in Poorvabhadrapada; such Pitra Dosh may create serious or very serious problems. This combination may especially prove troublesome for mental health, father and mother of the native. If Moon is placed in Poorvabhadrapada and Ketu is placed in Uttarabhadrapada, the problems may be significant or serious; especially those related to creativity, children and love life. If Moon is placed in Poorvabhadrapada and Ketu is in Revati, the problems may be significant or serious; especially those related to mental health, creativity, mother and father.
When Moon is placed in Uttarabhadrapada and Ketu is in Poorvabhadrapada, the problems may be significant or serious; especially those related to love life, creativity and mother. If Moon and Ketu are placed in Uttarabhadrapada, the problems may be significant or serious; especially those related to love life, children, father and mother. If Moon is placed in Uttarabhadrapada and Ketu is in Revati, the problems may be serious; especially those related to love life, father, mother and children.
If Moon is placed in Revati and Ketu is in Poorvabhadrapada, the problems may be serious; especially those related to mother, father and mental health. If Moon is placed in Revati and Ketu is in Uttarabhadrapada, the problems may be significant; especially those related to love life, mother and father. When both Moon and Ketu are placed in Revati, the problems may be significant, serious or very serious; especially those related to mental health, mother and father.
Let’s look at navamshas. The sign of Pisces feature 9 navamshas. The first navamsha falls in Cancer and it is ruled by the fourth part of Poorvabhadrapada nakshatra. The next four navamshas from Leo to Scorpio are ruled by Uttarabhadrapada nakshatra. The last four navamshas from Sagittarius to Pisces are ruled by Revati nakshatra. Moon and Ketu can form 81 types of Pitra Dosh within the sign of Pisces by virtue of their placements in various navamshas. Let’s discuss some of these combinations.
When Moon is placed in Leo, Virgo, Libra or Capricorn navamsha and Ketu is placed in Virgo, Libra, Capricorn or Aquarius navamsha; the problems may be significant. Among these combinations; the placement of Moon in Leo navamsha and that of Ketu in Aquarius navamsha may prove least troublesome for the native. Moon performs well in Uttarabhadrapada nakshatra and it does well in Leo navamsha. Ketu is strong in Pisces, it is comfortable with Revati but it is not strong in Aquarius navamsha.
If Moon is placed in Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra or Capricorn navamsha and Ketu is placed in Scorpio, Sagittarius or Pisces navamsha; the problems may be serious. Moon is good in all these navamshas but Ketu is strong in the sign of Pisces as well as in Scorpio, Sagittarius and Pisces navamshas. Hence the damage done may be serious since Ketu has advantage over Moon.
When Moon is placed in Scorpio, Aquarius or Pisces navamsha and Ketu is placed in Scorpio, Sagittarius or Pisces navamsha, the problems may become very serious. Ketu is strong in these navamshas and it is exalted in the signs of Scorpio and Pisces. Hence it gains great strength in these navamshas. Moon is debilitated in Scorpio and it is not strong in Aquarius. Hence it may suffer more in these navamshas.
When it comes to Pisces navamsha, it is a special case for Moon. Though Moon is strong in the sign of Pisces; the last navamsha of this sign ruled by Revati is an exception. Moon forms Gandmool Dosh in the last navamsha of Revati nakshatra. Gandmool Dosh in this case may prove troublesome for native’s own health and lifespan as well as for those of his mother and father. Moon represents mother in general and in this case, it represents father also, through the ninth house. Hence the placement of Moon in Pisces navamsha and that of Ketu in Scorpio, Sagittarius or Pisces navamsha may create very serious problems.
The placement of Moon as well as Ketu in Cancer navamsha may also create very serious problems. Though Moon is strong in Cancer; Poorvabhadrapada is a difficult to handle nakshatra. Poorvabhadrapada nakshatra deals in duality as well as destruction and Ketu also deals in destruction. Hence the placement of Moon in this navamsha along with Ketu may create very serious problems; especially the ones related to native’s mental health and the wellbeing of his mother.
Looking at the worst possible combinations in this sign, if Moon is placed in Scorpio or Pisces navamsha and Ketu is placed in Cancer, Scorpio or Pisces navamsha; such Pitra Dosh may prove the most troublesome. Moon is debilitated in Scorpio and it forms Gandmool Dosh in Pisces navamsha. On the other hand, Ketu is destructive in Cancer navamsha since it is ruled by Poorvabhadrapada nakshatra; and Ketu is exalted in Scorpio as well as Revati. Hence these combinations of Pitra Dosh may prove disastrous for the native. As a result, the native may witness very serious problems related to the spheres affected by such Pitra Dosh.
Here again, whichever of these spheres are protected by benefic planets; they may suffer less. Whichever spheres are neither protected nor troubled; they may suffer significantly. The spheres which are troubled by other malefic planets also, may suffer the most.
Let’s look at the influences of other benefic or malefic planets on such Pitra Dosh and that of the overall horoscope. Suppose malefic exalted Venus is also placed in the fifth house of this horoscope along with Ketu and Moon. The overall negativity may increase significantly in this case since Venus also forms Pitra Dosh by afflicting Moon. As a result, the native may suffer from serious problems related to the spheres affected by such Pitra Dosh. The addition of malefic Mars to the fifth house may further deteriorate the equation. Accordingly, the number as well as the quantum of problems posed by such malefic combination may become even higher.
In this case, three malefic planets afflict Moon thereby forming Pitra Dosh. In addition to this, these malefic planets also afflict each other. Venus represents its general significances as well as the significances of the seventh and twelfth house in this horoscope. Mars represents its general significances as well as the significances of the first and sixth house. It means such malefic combination may create problems related to the general significances of Mars, Moon, Venus and Ketu as well as those related to the significances of the first, fifth, sixth, seventh, ninth and twelfth house.
As a result, this malefic combination may shift the overall theme of this horoscope towards negativity; and strong benefic influences may be required to shift such theme towards positivity. Since the fifth house is the battleground for these malefic energies; maximum damage may be witnessed related to the significances of this house. Let’s consider a couple of examples to understand this concept in a better manner.
Suppose this malefic combination is placed in the horoscope of a female native. In this case, she may face serious problems related to her mother, father, health, lifespan, love life, children, marriage, profession, luck factor, finances, creativity, spiritual growth and a number of other things. Let’s look into the sphere of children and see what may happen there. Such Pitra Dosh may cause delay in child birth as well as various types of medical complications related to childbirth; depending on the overall horoscope. As a result, the native may not be able to deliver a child till late in her life or she may not be able have a child throughout her life.
Such malefic combination may also make the native suffer from abortions. Hence one, two, three or even more conceptions of this native may fail and she may not be able to deliver a child. A child may also die within this native’s body before delivery and she may suffer from poisoning as well as other medical complications. This female native may also witness the birth of a dead child. In an extreme case when the overall horoscope is also malefic and strong; the native may die during delivery; along with her child. The scope of damage caused by such Pitra Dosh formed by three malefic planets is limitless and it may entirely destroy the sphere of children in the horoscope of a female native.
Let’s see what this malefic equation may do in case of a male native. Such Pitra Dosh may create serious problems related to children for a male native also. However, he may not face the medical complications faced by the female native since he doesn’t go through the process of conceiving a child. Such Pitra Dosh may deny the possibility of children to the native; unless there are strong grace saving factors in his horoscope. For example, if benefic Jupiter is placed in the seventh, ninth or tenth house of this horoscope and benefic exalted Sun is placed in the sixth house in Aries; the native may have a child or children. Such native may either be able to have children of his own after facing a number of problems, or he may get such children through adoption.
