What are doshas and how to identify them

The meaning of doshas in astrology is the condition that has issues, bad and unfavorable things. Doshas is a word taken from the Sanskrit language. Indian astrology doshas occur because of the bad position of the planets somewhere in the twelve houses of your birth chart. To identify the position of the planets your birth date and time of birth is required. Based on that the birth chart is prepared which will tell the position of planet when you were born. If the malefic planets ie saturn, rahu, mars etc are placed in certain specific houses then they affect your good part of the horoscope leading to vedic astrology doshas.
