The 9th house in a birth chart is considered the house of religion and also the house of father. If the 9th house is afflicted by malefic planets, it indicates that the ancestors' desires were left unfulfilled. The natural malefic planets are Sun, Mars, and Saturn, which behave differently in various ascendants. However, Rahu and Ketu have a negative impact in all ascendants.
Pitra Dosha
When the 9th house, its lord, or the 9th house from the Moon and its lord is afflicted by Rahu or Ketu, it is considered Pitra Dosha. This dosha can cause various problems, including stress, incomplete education, career struggles, and physical or mental disabilities.
Remedies for Pitra Dosha
1. Somvati Amavasya Puja: On Somvati Amavasya (a Monday coinciding with Amavasya), visit a nearby Peepal tree, offer a sacred thread to the tree, and another to Lord Vishnu. Perform 108 circumambulations around the tree, offering sweets after each circumambulation. Recite the mantra "Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya" during the circumambulation.
2. Feeding Crows and Fish: Offer laddus made of rice and ghee to crows and fish every Saturday.
