Grahan Dosha
What it is
A luminary (Sun or Moon) joined with a node — an eclipse-like signature on the chart’s sources of confidence and feeling.
Formation rule
The Sun or the Moon occupies the same sign as Rahu or Ketu.
What our engine checks
Sign-level conjunction tests for both luminaries against both nodes; the afflicted luminary is named.
Severity grading
Low when present; none otherwise.
Source & honesty note
CONVENTION — the eclipse-association of luminary–node conjunctions, widely followed in modern practice; tendency-scoped here.
Tendency-scoped reading only: a dosha is a factor to weigh, not a verdict on a life. Cancellation and remediation depend on the whole chart and are traditionally assessed by a qualified astrologer.
