These are internal psychological weaknesses that block your spiritual path to peace and success.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;\">Understanding them is the first step toward self-mastery.

These are as follows:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;\"><b>1. Kama<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;\"><b>Meaning:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Lust<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;\"><b>Associated Planet:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Venus<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;\"><b>Termed To Be:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Path To Hell<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;\"><b>Action To Practice:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Practice gratitude and simplicity in your life<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;\">Kama is not just physical lust, but any overpowering desire or craving for worldly pleasures, possessions, or experiences. It\u2019s the constant need for &#8220;more.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;\">When Venus is afflicted, it enhances the need for pleasure. It also makes the person struggle with commitment or become a slave to luxurious habits, mistaking them for lasting happiness.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;\"><b>2. Lobha<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;\"><b>Meaning:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Greed<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;\"><b>Associated Planet:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Mars<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;\"><b>Termed To Be:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Path To Hell<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;\"><b>Action To Practice:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Perform charitable acts of time, money or knowledge<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;\">Lobha is the desire to acquire and collect wealth, power, or material things. It blinds one to their needs and leads to isolation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;\">An afflicted Saturn creates a mean nature, intense attachment to wealth, and a general lack of generosity. This person may always feel poor, even if they have much.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;\"><b>3. Krodha<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;\"><b>Meaning:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Anger<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;\"><b>Associated Planet:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Rahu<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;\"><b>Termed To Be:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Path To Hell<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;\"><b>Action To Practice:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Think before speaking and practice forgiveness<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;\">Krodha relates to explosive rage, irritation, or bitter resentment. It\u2019s the reaction that occurs when a desire is blocked or unfulfilled. It destroys peace, reason, and relationships.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;\">Mars is the driving force; when unchecked, it erupts as aggression, conflict, and arguments. An afflicted Mars can make a person volatile, prone to arguments, impatient, and unable to forgive.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;\"><b>4. Mada\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;\"><b>Meaning:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Pride<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;\"><b>Associated Planet:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Ketu<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;\"><b>Termed To Be:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Difficult Experience On Earth<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;\"><b>Action To Practice:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Doing selfless service<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;\">Mada refers to an inflated sense of self-importance. It is the ego that makes you look down on others based on wealth, caste, beauty, or knowledge. It prevents one from learning and accepting.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;\">Malefic Rahu makes one highly arrogant, boastful, and obsessed with status. It&#8217;s the &#8220;look-at-me&#8221; energy that prevents actual inner growth.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;\"><b>5. Moha\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;\"><b>Meaning:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Attachment<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;\"><b>Associated Planet:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Saturn<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;\"><b>Termed To Be:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Difficult Experience On Earth<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;\"><b>Action To Practice: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Deep meditation to see the truth<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;\">Moha is a deep, blinding illusion that makes you believe temporary things are the source of your happiness. It\u2019s a powerful form of ignorance that leads to pain.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;\">Moha is the illusion that binds us, and Ketu&#8217;s negative energy creates a mental fog that stops us from seeing the truth. Moha confuses you and blinds you to reality.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;\"><b>6. Matsarya<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;\"><b>Meaning:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Jealousy<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;\"><b>Associated Planet:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Mercury<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;\"><b>Termed To Be:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Difficult Experience On Earth<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;\"><b>Action To Practice:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Genuinely celebrating others\u2019 success &amp; wishing them well<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;\">Matsarya refers to a feeling of ill will towards another person&#8217;s success or happiness. It&#8217;s the inability to celebrate another&#8217;s good fortune. It causes constant inner turmoil and bitterness.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;\">Mercury governs this internal Ripu. When malefic, Mercury makes one constantly compare oneself and one&#8217;s fortune to others, leading to bitterness and an inability to be happy for a rival&#8217;s success.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Also, <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/instaastro.com\/numerology-horoscope-2026\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Your Numerology Prediction 2026<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;\"><b>Two Paths Of Shadripu: Hell and Difficult Experience<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;\">The ancient texts often group the Shadripu into two distinct categories based on their immediate consequences on the soul:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;\"><b>1.
