Graha Yuddha Dosha Calculator
What is Graha Yuddha Dosha?
Graha Yuddha Dosha is read when Graha Yuddha ("planetary war") occurs — two of the five tara grahas (Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn) within about 1° of each other in the same sign. The planet that "loses" the war (by classical rules of brightness, longitude and nature) gives weaker results for a time. The Sun, Moon and nodes do not take part in planetary war.
The dosha highlights that one of the fighting planets is temporarily disadvantaged, so its house lordships and significations may need extra support until the war's effects ease. The winner can become more forceful. In practice this often shows as a stretch of uneven results in the affairs of the weaker planet, not as a lifelong doom.
What matters is which two planets are at war, who loses, and which houses they rule for your ascendant. A war involving a key functional benefic asks for remedies and patience; other wars may be minor. Enter exact birth details so the degrees are precise, and always read Graha Yuddha within the whole chart and the running Dasha rather than from the war label alone. Support for the losing planet during its Dasha is often the most practical way to work with the war.
