Bad relationship with siblings in Astrology

Bad Relationship with Siblings in Astrology: Key Chart Indicators & Remedies

In Vedic astrology, tensions with siblings are often revealed by malefic influences on the 3rd house, which governs brothers, sisters, short travel, and communication. When planets like Saturn, Mars, Rahu, or Ketu afflict the 3rd house—or its ruler is in challenging positions—it may result in misunderstanding, separation, or rivalry among siblings.

1. Malefic Planets in the 3rd House or Its Lord

• Saturn or Ketu in 3rd house: Indicates emotional distance, responsibilities, and lack of trust.
• Mars or Sun exalted in 3rd house: Sparks conflict or ego clashes during communication.
• Lord of the 3rd house in 6th, 8th, or 12th house: Relationships suffer due to illness, debts, or hidden issues.
• Debilitated or afflicted 3rd house lord: Weakens bonds and opens the door to dispute.

2. Malefic Aspects on the 3rd House

Negative aspects from Saturn, Mars, Rahu, or Ketu toward the 3rd house—or its lord—increase tension, communication gaps, or silence between siblings :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}.

3. Role of Rahu & Ketu

Saturn in or aspecting the 3rd house often creates emotional distance and harsh responsibility. It can make siblings feel burdened or disconnected :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}.

Exalted Mars or Sun in the 3rd house sparks ego‑driven clashes, hurt pride, and short‑fuse arguments—often over trivial matters :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}.

Conclusion

In astrology, challenging relationships with siblings emerge when the 3rd house or its ruler is afflicted by Mars, Saturn, Rahu, or Ketu. Adding in factors from D‑3 or Navamsa, or related house influences, confirms long-term or karmic discord. However, planetary remedies—like poojas, mantras, charity, and gentle communication—can significantly lessen tensions and improve familial harmony.
