Relationship between Pitradosh and Vastu

Pitra is located in the south west corner of the house i.e. naitratya kon. Whenever full Pitradosh gets formed in the horoscope of a person, rahu (which symbolizes negative energy) gets strong, and negative energy reflects on the house of the person. In a house, positive energy flows from ishan kon and negative energy flows from naitratya kon. Whenever, in a horoscope, Pitradosh exists (i.e. Rahu gets strong), in that situation the house in which person lives has vaastu dosh in naitratya kon.
