Guru Chandal Yoga – A Toxic Combination of Guru and Rahu in Your Kundli

There are many scary planetary afflictions (Graha dosh) that happens in the birth chart. Guru Chandal Yoga is one of them. The combination of Jupiter (Guru) and Rahu is notoriously known as Guru Chandal Dosh.

What is Guru Chandal Yoga?

The planet Jupiter is known as Guru in Sanskrit and Chandal (Mlechha) means mean or demon. Hence, it is known as Guru Chandal Dosh.

The planet Jupiter has a major role in creating this yoga in your birth chart.

When the planet Rahu and Ketu conjoins together with the planet Jupiter (Guru) in any house is called Guru Chandal yoga.

In some cases, the conjunction of Guru and beneficial Ketu becomes auspicious which is called Ganesh Yoga.

The horoscope of Pt Jawaharlal Nehru is a burning example of Ganesh Yoga.

General traits of the planet Jupiter, Rahu and Ketu

The Jupiter is an auspicious planet. The person with powerful Jupiter will be liberal, generous, spiritual, social worker and rich. The planet auspicious Jupiter in the birth chart also makes one a good ruler or administrator.

The Jupiter in a female horoscopy makes the lady a good wife, good mother, good daughter-in-law and a mentor as well.

The inauspicious Rahu in a male native can make the person self-centered and sensual. While the female native is courageous and forceful. Generally, Rahu in a female native makes the native clean and tends to have a luxurious lifestyle. They get attracted to their opposite-sex even after marriage.

The female native with Ketu becomes very powerful, self-made and independent. They are likely to have separation from their husband or become a widow.  The male natives are spiritual and have a philosophical bent of mind. They get attracted to married women or widows.
