Listen, your Kundli is not just some mystical roadmap gathering dust in your grandmother’s cupboard. It is basically your cosmic GPS, and trust us, some of the detours it reveals are wilder than a midnight ride through Bengaluru traffic. But here is the thing that will make you sit up straight: those mysterious doshas lurking in your birth chart? They are not just astrological small talk. They are the real deal, and honestly, they deserve more attention.

Kundli doshas are like that friend with no boundaries. They just show up in your life uninvited, make themselves at home, and start raiding your snacks. You did not ask for them, you definitely don’t want them around, but here they are, poking holes in your plans and throwing shade on your dreams. Kundli doshas have been quietly messing with your wins, your relationships, and your whole vibe since your birth.

The drama behind Kundli Doshas

So what exactly is a dosha? Picture this: when you were born, the planets were throwing their own little tantrum in the sky. Some decided to park themselves in all the wrong spots, creating what we call planetary malefic positions. These cosmic rebels are essentially the reason why your perfectly planned life sometimes feels like it has been put through a blender.

The universe decided to encode these challenges right into your birth chart. It’s kind of like finally getting a designer dress you had been eyeing for a long time, only to discover a tiny rip hiding in the lining. It looks flawless on the hanger, but there is always that one loose thread silently waiting to ruin your day.

Kundli Doshas you need to know about

Manglik Dosha: Manglik Dosha is the OG drama queen of the zodiac. It shows up when Mars decides to throw a tantrum in your 1st, 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th, or 12th house. And Mars isn’t exactly known for subtlety. It is associated with all bold moves and big energy. When it crashes your chart in the wrong place, things can get a little explosive. Think relationship turbulence, delayed marriages, or just general chaos where there should’ve been calm. Mars, babe, take a seat.. Mars positioned in the first, second, fourth, seventh, eighth or twelfth house in a Kundali creates Mangal Dosha. The result? Your love life becomes more complicated than a Christopher Nolan film. If you are Manglik, you have probably heard the classic ‘marry another Manglik’ advice more times than you have watched Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham. But here is the tea: this dosha doesn’t just messes with your wedding plans; it can delay marriage, create relationship turbulence, and sometimes even cause separation. Dramatic? Yes. Fixable? Absolutely.

Kaal Sarp Dosha: Kaal Sarp Dosha is a kind of Shakespearean tragedy in the world of astrology. It occurs when all seven planets get trapped between Rahu and Ketu. Imagine being caught between two cosmic serpents having a standoff. The result of it makes your life feel like it’s stuck in a web of struggles and emotional turbulence. People with this dosha often feel like they are running on a treadmill. You put in lots of effort, but somehow don’t get anywhere. Kundali Doshas such as Kaal Sarp Doshas and Mangal Doshas can be very dreadful and negative in an individual’s life. It may cause physical ailments, failures, divorce, money loss, poverty, job loss and even death.

Pitra Dosha: Pitra Dosha is literally carrying your ancestors’ unfinished business. It happens when the Sun is afflicted by malefic planets like Rahu, Ketu, or Saturn, and is exactly like inheriting an awesome vintage car with serious problems under the hood. Pitra Dosha can manifest in your life as sudden health issues, financial instability, or that crushing feeling that your family line is somehow cursed. The good news? You can actually work on clearing this karmic debt.

Shani Dosha: When Saturn decides to throw shade (literally), you get Shani Dosha. This planetary placement can turn you into someone you barely recognise: more selfish, money-hungry, and frankly, not the most pleasant person to be around. Saturn’s tough love approach means lots of life lessons, but delivered with all the subtlety of a sledgehammer.

Chandra Dosha: Chandra Dosha occurs when the Moon is having an off day in your birth chart. Wearing a Pearl after consulting an astrologer can help you fend off the ill effects of Chandra Dosh. This dosha affects your emotional stability, relationships, and can even cause physical health issues. Think mood swings that would make a teenager jealous, relationship drama that rivals reality TV, and stress levels that could power a small city.

Nadi Dosha: Nadi Dosha is the one that shows up during marriage matching and says, ‘Hold up, let’s talk about your future babies.’ This dosha can create challenges in conception and marital harmony. It is like having a cosmic red flag in your love story.

How to find your Doshas
