Pitru Paksha 2025 falls between 7th and 21st September. It’s a special two-week period when people honor their ancestors and seek their blessings while during this time, family karma and ancestral issues often come to the surface. Many perform simple rituals to clear these obstacles and invite peace, stability, and prosperity into their lives. This year is extra interesting because Pitru Paksha overlaps with Mars moving into Libra on 13th September. Mars is the planet behind Manglik Dosha, which can create delays in marriage, conflicts in relationships, or instability with partners and so, doing Manglik remedies along with ancestral rituals during this period can help calm Mars and ease both personal and family karmic challenges.
Why Mars Plays a Big Role in Manglik Dosha
Manglik Dosha happens when Mars is in the 1st, 4th, 7th, 8th, or 12th house in your horoscope also people with this placement often face challenges in love and marriage. Mars is a fiery planet while it gives energy, passion, and drive, but when it’s unbalanced, it can create tension and arguments between partners. Every Mars transit affects marriage, career, and temperament. This September, Mars will move into Libra, a sign ruled by Venus, the planet of love and harmony. Since Mars is fiery, it doesn’t feel very comfortable here, making this transit very important for relationships.

Why Pitru Paksha Is the Best Time for Remedies
Pitru Paksha is meant for clearing ancestral karma. Many issues in marriage or relationships are connected to family patterns. Manglik Dosha is about personal planetary energy, while Pitru Paksha deals with family karma. When both happen together, it’s the perfect time to do remedies. Performing Tarpan and Shraddha rituals now softens Mars’s aggressive influence and brings blessings for smoother relationships.
Zodiac Signs Most Affected
Aries: Mars rules Aries, so this transit is intense. Misunderstandings or marriage delays may appear. Tarpan rituals, offerings at Hanuman temples, and disciplined actions help calm Mars energy.
