Unfavorable Placement of Jupiter Disrupting Life
Vedic Remedies to Mitigate Affliction and Generate Positivity
What is Chandal Dosha?
In the birth chart, Chandal Dosha occurs when the planet Jupiter is in conjunction with the malefic planets Rahu or Ketu. Jupiter is called Guru in Vedic Astrology. Chandal refers to an Asura, which is Rahu. Hence, the Dosha is also known as Guru Chandal Dosha. The Dosha can cause malefic effects in the native’s life.
How Cosmic Alignment Creates Chandal Dosha
The Chandal Dosha occurs when there is Jupiter-Rahu or Jupiter-Ketu combination in the birth chart. Jupiter plays a significant role in this Dosha. This planetary placement can make life very difficult for the native.

Jupiter-Rahu/ Jupiter-Ketu Conjunct in 3rd House
The combination of Jupiter-Rahu or Jupiter-Ketu in the 3rd house can cause Chandal Dosha and give a pessimistic speech. It can also make the native a betrayer and a spreader of hatred.

Jupiter-Rahu/ Jupiter-Ketu Conjunct in 8th House
The Jupiter-Rahu or Jupiter-Ketu combination in the 8th house can create a destructive attitude and may end the life of the native. There may be accidents. If Jupiter and Rahu combine in the 8th house, there may be injuries and pains in the abdominal area, scarring for life.

Jupiter-Rahu/ Jupiter-Ketu Conjunct in 9th House
The combination is lethal if it is in the 9th house, with the native unaware of roots and unlawful. The native can breaks all norms and religious beliefs. They may spread wrong ideas and beliefs and adopt the wrong approach.
However, this Dosha is not very malefic in all houses, and if Jupiter is stronger and well placed, and can control Rahu, then the native could go a long way with minimal loss. Jupiter combined with Ketu is not considered Chandal Dosha by astrologers in the Northern part of India. It makes the native more spiritual and isolated from the world.

AstroVed’s Dosha Remedial Programs
Much of our life has been shaped and influenced by the time of birth. The planetary positions at the time of our birth play a crucial role in determining, with other details, how our life will pan out. Derived from Sanskrit, Dosha signifies physical disorders. In Vedic Astrology, Dosha signifies bad conditions found in the birth chart or horoscope. The planets that occupy the twelve houses in the natal chart will not be placed in a favorable position.
The malefic planets combine to override all good and positive effects in a native’s horoscope, thus causing an adverse impact on their life.
