Some people have good horoscopes, then they also face problems in their career or relationship. Also, they face a setback in their reputation. Have you ever thought about why? One of the possible reasons could be the presence of Guru Chandal Dosha.

So, what is Guru Chandal Dosha, and what is its meaning? In our Vedic astrology, 'Guru' means planet Jupiter or Brihaspati. Jupiter is the planet of wisdom, and it provides prosperity and good deeds. Whereas 'Chandal' means Rahu or Ketu. Both these planets are shadow planets, which cause illusion, unnecessary thinking, and confusion.  So, when Jupiter combines with Rahu or Ketu, it forms Guru Chandal Dosha. 
 

Know The Symptoms of Guru Chandal Dosha

Now, the question arises, how to identify Guru Chandal Dosh in the Kundali? Or which planet causes Guru Chandal yog? The best astrologer studies your Janam Kundali and checks the position of Jupiter and Rahu, and Ketu. So, when Jupiter comes in conjunction, i.e., in the same house as Rahu or Ketu, then it forms the yog of Guru Chandal in the Kundali.

Thus, if you have a strong Jupiter and weak Rahu or Ketu, then this Dosh is mild. But the negative effect of this dosh increases when you have a weak Jupiter and strong Rahu/Ketu.  So, how to identify whether you have this dosh in your Kundali? Commonly, if you are facing problems in making decisions, you lack trust or there are lots of misunderstandings in your relationship,  or even you have ego problems or are facing clashes with elders, then you have high chances of Guru Chandal Dosh.

Everyone doesn't need to face the above symptoms. Further, the effect of this yog is different on every person. The fact is that its effect depends upon your overall planetary combination along with your present Mahadasha or Antardasha.

So, what are the general effects when Jupiter, Rahu and Ketu come together? Let us know its effect on all the phases of life.

Career and Education:

The natives of this dosha struggle to focus on studies. They also often change their career path. Though these natives may be talented, they face setbacks due to hidden enemies or false allegations.

Financial Aspect

The natives may earn good, but they may suffer sudden loss and thereby suffer from wealth instability. They may also be inclined towards bad advice, or suffer from poor judgment or may be overly ambitious.

Personality

The natives are impulsive. Why so? Though Jupiter gives them knowledge, Rahu or Ketu creates illusions. Thus, these natives are constantly confused between wise decisions and confusion.

Spirituality

Mostly, the natives are opinionated. They firmly believe in their thoughts. It often leads to overconfidence. Further, they also challenge the traditional beliefs and lack faith in religion.

Apart from these, the Guru Chandal Dosh also affects marriage. Though you can know your compatibility with our free Kundali matching.

Further, the native may find it difficult to create a balance between their emotions and expectations. Though at times, the outside interference or difference in social status may also cause hindrance in a happy marriage. However, if you have a strong Jupiter, then you will overcome these problems with patience.
