What is Guru Chandal Dosha? What are its effects if it is present in the horoscope?

Guru is considered the most auspicious planet, but when Guru forms a conjunction with Rahu or if Rahu and Ketu are in aspect of guru, it creates a negative influence known as Chandal Dosha in the horoscope. The term "Chandal" refers to a person who is considered outcast from society rather than a specific caste. When Chandal Dosha occurs in a horoscope, it can lead to various kinds of troubles.

What are the disadvantages?

If Chandal Dosha is present in the horoscope, the individual may get involved in unethical activities. Their endeavors often fail, and they face repeated problems in life. Such individuals may also face societal condemnation. Difficulties arise in employment and business, and they may fall into bad company. Guru is a benefic planet, while Rahu and Ketu are considered malefic. The effects of this conjunction can vary depending on the house in which it occurs.

First House: Chandal Dosha can lead to a decline in character, and the person may attempt to earn money through unethical means.
