Derived from Sanskrit, “Shunya” translates to “zero,” “emptiness,” “void,” or “nothing.” In Vedic Astrology, Shunya Dosha is a condition where something is missing, leading to a sense of fruitlessness or restlessness in certain areas of life.

What is Shunya Dosha?

Shunya Dosha occurs due to specific combinations related to the lunar day (tithi) or the Vedic month in which you were born. These combinations can cause certain signs, houses, and nakshatras in your birth chart to become “Shunya” or empty. This emptiness often manifests as dissatisfaction, unfulfilled desires, or a lingering sense of restlessness in various aspects of life.

How Does Shunya Dosha Affect You?

Understanding which parts of your birth chart are impacted by Shunya Dosha is crucial for comprehending its effects on your life. For instance:

  • 7th House (Relationships): If the 7th house is affected by Shunya Dosha, you may experience challenges in forming or maintaining lasting relationships or marriages.
  • 5th House (Children): Issues may arise concerning children, such as difficulties in conception or a strained relationship with them.
  • 10th House (Career): If the 10th house is impacted, you might find it difficult to feel satisfied in your career, regardless of how many times you change jobs. There could be a persistent sense of disappointment or emptiness in your professional life.
