Every planetary combination has a specific significance. Some combinations bring success and fortune, while others create obstacles in life. One such problematic planetary combination is of Shrapit Dosha. If you are not able to balance its energy, then it will cause delays and failures. But what exactly is Shrapit Dosha in Kundali? How does it affect us? 

The word 'Shrapit' is derived from the Sanskrit word 'Shrap', meaning curse. Therefore, in simple words, Shrapit Dosh is the combination of Saturn and Rahu. When these two planets aspect each other in the birth chart, then it forms Shrapit Yog in the Kundali. As we know, Saturn is the planet of Karma and discipline, and Rahu creates illusion and unfulfilled desires. So, when these two planets come together, it means that the native is carrying the burden of past life in this life. It reflects that in a past life, the native must have caused suffering or injustice to someone, and therefore, in this life, he is repaying the previous debt. Like this Dosh, Guru Chandal Dosh also adversely affects your life. Know in detail about this Dosh and follow the remedies to succeed in life.
 

How to Find Shrapit Dosh in Kundli?

The best astrologer minutely studies the birth chart before deciding about Shrapit Dosh. In general, this Dosh forms when malefic planets like Saturn and Rahu are together in any house of the birth chart or if both these planets directly look at each other. Further, it may also occur when Saturn lies in the 1st, 5th, 7th, 8th, or 10th house and Rahu influences it.

Moreover, a mild Shrapit Dosha occurs when Saturn aspects Rahu in an enemy sign. Though the astrologers also check the house which Saturn and Rahu occupy. For instance, if this combination exists in the 7th house, then natives may have marital issues or a delay in marriage. But what happens when these planets exist in the 10th house? In this case, natives may face problems in their careers. Further, this combination in the 1st house causes self-doubt in the mind of the native, and they feel an emotional burden.

Though when benefic planets like Jupiter or Venus are present, the effect of this Dosh is reduced. But on the other hand, when other malefic planets aspect this combination, then the effect is intensified. Therefore, we suggest getting a complete and thorough horoscope analysis from the best astrologer before coming to any conclusion.

How Sharapit Dosh affects our lives? Though the effect of this Dosh depends upon the placement of Saturn and Rahu, along with their strength. But in general, the Shrapit Dosh brings struggles in one's life, which is repayment of the Karmic debt. Natives often do not get the desired results despite putting in hard work. Apart from this, the natives face the following problems:

*Natives face continuous delays and struggles in their education, career, success, and marriage.

*There may be continuous guilt, frustration, illusion, overthinking and confusion.

*There are chances of chronic illness that will take longer to heal.

*In addition to this, there may also be trouble in the relationship and an ego clash, disturbing the peace at home.

*Financial instability is also a common effect of this Dosh. As a result, there may be less or no investment. Also, the chances of incurring losses are high.

Now, let's come to another question, which is 'how long does Shrapit Dosh last'? Though the effect depends upon the strength and position of planets, its impact is more substantial during Saturn and Rahu Dasha, Antardasha, and mahadasha. However, we at Best Jyotish suggest effective remedies to reduce the intensity of its effect.

What Is the Karmic Significance of Shrapit Dosh?

Shrapit Dosh is bad, but it also encourages its natives to correct the mistakes of past lives. Its natives have a strong sense of responsibility. So, once they learn how to channelize their energy in a positive way, they become empathic. 

Further, this Dosh makes its native inclined towards spirituality. As a result, natives value inner peace and ethical living more than material success. Apart from this Dosh, there are other Dosh that affect your life.

What Are the Effective Shrapit Dosha Remedies?

How to overcome Shrapit Dosha? Though this Dosh has a negative influence, with proper and practical remedies, you can neutralize its effect. The astrologers at Best Jyotish suggest specific, effective remedies:

*Daily chanting of the Maha Mritunjay Mantra and Hanuman Chalisa is beneficial.

*Performing the Shani Rahu Shrapit Dosh Nivaran Puja is also helpful. So, how much does Shrapit Dosh puja cost? In general, the cost may vary between ₹8,000 and ₹25,000, depending on the number of pandits and puja duration.

*Donating things like black sesame seeds, mustard oil, iron, or black clothes to people experiencing poverty on Saturdays is considered good. In addition to this, feed stray dogs or donate to a nursing home.
