Frequently Asked Questions
What is Guru Chandal Dosha?
Guru Chandal Dosha forms when Jupiter (Guru) is conjunct — or aspected by — Rahu or Ketu in the birth chart. The shadow planet is said to "corrupt" Jupiter's wisdom and benevolence, affecting judgement, ethics, faith and guidance from mentors.
How is Guru Chandal Dosha calculated?
The chart is computed with the Swiss Ephemeris (Lahiri ayanamsa). If Jupiter shares a house/sign with Rahu or Ketu, the dosha is Strong (conjunction); if a node aspects Jupiter, it is Moderate. This calculator checks both.
What are the effects of Guru Chandal Dosha?
It can bring unconventional thinking and questioning of tradition, but also poor judgement, misplaced faith, conflicts with teachers or elders, and ethical lapses. A strong, well-placed Jupiter reduces the effect; the running Dasha matters too.
What are the remedies for Guru Chandal Dosha?
Traditional remedies include Jupiter (Brihaspati) mantras, worship and charity on Thursdays, respecting Gurus and elders, and — where advised — a yellow sapphire after chart evaluation. A qualified astrologer should assess the whole chart.
