What is Pitru Dosha and how it affects your family
I see my ancestors, their ethereal forms merging with the twilight landscape. I feel their peaceful, guiding presence. Pitru Dosha is a karmic condition that occurs in a birth chart when there is an imbalance or unresolved ancestral debt. The word "Pitru" refers to forefathers or ancestors, and "Dosha" means a flaw or disturbance. Pitru Dosha is not a curse, but rather an indication that certain responsibilities or spiritual duties toward ancestors may have been left unfulfilled—either by the individual or their lineage. Astrologically, Pitru Dosha is often formed when the Sun, Moon, or Rahu-Ketu are placed in certain houses or when malefic planets occupy the 9th house (the house of father, dharma, and blessings). It is also linked to afflictions in the 2nd and 5th houses, which represent family, children, and lineage. The 9th house, in particular, reflects blessings from ancestors and the karmic merits passed down through generations. When this house is disturbed, it may signify that the flow of ancestral grace is blocked. People with Pitru Dosha in their horoscope may face recurring problems such as delay in marriage, childbearing issues, financial instability, family disputes, or health concerns that don't respond to normal remedies. The idea is that these challenges are not entirely personal—they stem from unhealed energies or duties owed to departed ancestors. In Indian tradition, Shraddha rituals, Tarpan, and feeding the poor or animals during Pitru Paksha (ancestral fortnight) are considered effective remedies. These acts are performed with the intention of bringing peace to the souls of ancestors and healing the karmic lineage. Even chanting mantras like the Pitru Gayatri or Mahamrityunjaya Mantra, or performing donations in their name, is said to help balance this Dosha. Pitru Dosha is a reminder of our deep connection with those who came before us. It urges us to honor our roots, fulfill our duties with gratitude, and consciously heal the invisible bonds that influence our present. By doing so, we not only resolve hidden blockages but also invite blessings for future generations.

Srikalahasti temple may soon get AI-powered pilgrim services
Tirupati: Srikalahasteeswara Swamy Temple is set to witness a digital transformation with the introduction of artificial intelligence (AI) services, as proposed by local MLA Bojjala Sudhir Reddy. On Wednesday, the MLA met with Google Vice-President Thota Chandu during his visit to the historic temple and discussed the potential role of AI in enhancing pilgrim services. During their meeting, MLA Sudhir Reddy briefed Thota Chandu about the significance of the temple, the heavy daily footfall, and the unique Rahu-Ketu pujas performed there. After Chandu participated in a Rahu-Ketu puja, the MLA held a detailed discussion with him regarding how AI could be integrated into temple operations to address issues faced by devotees. Referring to a similar initiative by the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD), the MLA pointed out that the use of AI in Tirumala has already shown promising results. TTD had previously conducted trial runs using AI-based crowd monitoring technology to manage queues and streamline darshan experiences for pilgrims. These trials, overseen by TTD EO J Syamala Rao and other officials, were conducted over a week and are likely to be officially approved soon if proven successful. The TTD's AI system involves the installation of smart cameras across compartments, entry points, and exit routes to monitor pilgrim flow and queue density in real time. It collects data on different darshan categories — Sarvadarshanam, Slotted Darshan, and Special Entry Darshan — and helps estimate waiting times with precision. The ultimate goal is to reduce congestion and ensure a more seamless darshan experience, with most devotees completing their visit in under an by this model, MLA Sudhir Reddy urged Thota Chandu to prioritise the implementation of similar AI technology at Srikalahasti, even ahead of its full deployment in Tirumala. In response, the Google Vice President assured his support and expressed willingness to facilitate the integration of AI at the temple.

Rahu-Ketu Transit on May 18, 2025: What this celestial event means for your zodiac sign
In a year already marked by powerful cosmic events, yet another major planetary movement is poised to take place — one that astrologers say could alter the trajectory of personal and collective destinies. On May 18, 2025, the Rahu-Ketu transit, a phenomenon that occurs approximately every 18 months, will shift the astrological energies for all 12 zodiac signs, lasting until December 5, 2026. During this celestial realignment, Rahu, the north lunar node, will move from Pisces to Aquarius, while Ketu, the south lunar node, transitions from Virgo to Leo. This transit follows two other significant shifts — Saturn's move into Pisces on March 29 and Jupiter's upcoming transition into Gemini on May 14 — forming a rare and potent alignment of four major slow-moving planetary forces. Understanding the Shadow Planets Rahu and Ketu, often called shadow planets, have no physical form but hold immense astrological power. They represent the points of intersection between the Sun and Moon's orbital paths and are always in retrograde motion. Rahu is associated with ambition, illusion, and material desires, while Ketu governs detachment, intuition, and spiritual evolution. In Nadi Astrology, this transit is analyzed from the Ascendant (Lagna) rather than the Moon sign, offering a unique perspective on the energies set to unfold. Here's What Each Sign Can Expect: Aries : Financial turbulence may arise due to Rahu in the 11th house, while Ketu in the 5th may bring unexpected challenges concerning children. Spiritual exploration could offer solace. Taurus : Career instability is likely with Rahu in the 10th house. Ketu in the 4th could signal sudden changes in residence or property. Ancestral assets and partnerships may come into focus. Gemini : Rahu's 9th house transit may affect elders or mentors, while Ketu in the 3rd could lead to spontaneous travel. Relationship harmony is likely to improve. Cancer : The 8th house Rahu influence may bring financial strain or hidden issues to light. Ketu in the 2nd might alter dietary patterns or communication style. Job shifts are possible. Leo : Marital or partnership discord is possible with Rahu in the 7th house. Meanwhile, Ketu in your Ascendant boosts introspection and spiritual transformation. Positive news from children may uplift spirits. Virgo : Rahu in the 6th house raises health concerns, while Ketu in the 12th may disrupt sleep or cause feelings of isolation. Spiritual pilgrimages may offer healing. Libra : Academic or creative pursuits could be disrupted due to Rahu in the 5th. Ketu in the 11th suggests sudden gains or connections through social work or charity. Scorpio : Home and workplace stress may emerge as Rahu moves into the 4th house. Ketu in the 10th could shift career priorities or bring surprise job changes. New relationships may develop. Sagittarius : Delayed travel and spiritual yearning are likely with Rahu in the 3rd and Ketu in the 9th. Family interactions may take a more peaceful turn. Capricorn : Family tensions could arise with Rahu in the 2nd house, while Ketu in the 8th might cause health disturbances or deep introspective phases. Financial prudence is crucial. Aquarius : A major self-reinvention is on the horizon as Rahu transits your Ascendant. Ketu in the 7th house could shake up partnerships. Sudden monetary gains are also indicated. Pisces : Hidden expenses and overseas dealings may surface with Rahu in the 12th. However, Ketu in the 6th house brings favorable outcomes in legal matters and competitive exams. Career advancements are likely. The Bigger Picture While this Rahu-Ketu transit carries karmic implications and potential upheavals, its impact is not isolated. The combined force of Jupiter, Saturn, Rahu, and Ketu, along with individual dasha sequences (planetary periods), will define how these energies manifest for each individual. Astrologers advise using this time for self-reflection, spiritual practice, and mindful decision-making. For those navigating critical life events—be it career, marriage, health, or finances—this transit offers both challenges and hidden opportunities. As always, astrology serves as a guide, not a guarantee. Greater awareness of these cosmic patterns can help individuals make conscious choices and evolve with the times.
