Horoscope

Through Modern Techniques (Third Revised & Enlarged Edition)

M.S. Mehta IFS (Rtd.)

Guide & Editor K.N. Rao

About The Book It has been my experience as teacher of Astrology in Bhartiya Vidya Bhawan that students find it difficult to comprehend various rules of astrology and fail miserably in giving correct predictions. As a result they get frustrated and discouraged. Moreover, most of the books on astrology available in the market, and some of these are good books, have not been able to keep pace with fast changes taking place in the world. For example dozens of new professions and branches of science have opened up, but there is hardly any reference about this in major books. In Bhartiya Vidya Bhawan under guidance of KN Rao lot of serious researches are going on in various topics of astrology. This book has taken this into considerations and has published the latest techniques and results of these researches. This book has specially been written taking into considerations needs of students to comprehend astrology and be able to give correct predictions in shortest possible time. I have made a step by step approach to explain intricacies of astrology. I am sure students will find this book rewarding. There are new articles hitherto unpublished on mundane astrology. The book contains rules for foreign travel, owning houses and assessment of intelligence and wealth, career counseling and pitfalls in marriages etc. and above all how to assess the personality and character. The book has been result of years of hard work and research. I was much encouraged to write this book after the success of my two earlier books on astrology, "Planets and Travel Abroad" and "Ashtak Varga - its concept and Application" which have gone into second edition. Any comments and remarks for improvement of the book will be gratefully accepted. M.S. Mehta

Preface to the Third Edition It is very heartening to know that the first two editions of the book were well received and sold out in record time. Numerous letters of appreciation received by the author have vindicated K.N. Rao's comments in the foreword of the first edition that this is easily the best book in the market on the subject. This has encouraged me to revise the new edition and add new chapters on Yogni Dasha and Mundane astrology. The chapter on Vimshotari Dasha has been thoroughly revised and rewritten in the light of new researches of K.N. Rao. The chapter on Yogas has also been thoroughly revised and chapter on marriage has been revised in the light of new researches. I am sure that the students of astrology will find this book a great asset which will improve their predictive ability to a very great extent.

Foreword The most notable feature throughout of this book by ShriM.S. Mehta is the interweaving of yogas, the examination of their strength and the dasha as a useful and effective predictive tool for astrologers. Eighty or more years ago, when books on the predictive techniques of Hindu astrology were written such interweaving was always missing. Even in the best of well-structured books which have come out in the recent decades, there is lot of vagueness and unsynthesised approach inspite of impressive compilation. A book that should come out now with so many people knowing astrology has to be an advanced one, combining three features: yogas, dashas and transits of planet to show why what has happened or is happening had to happen. It is not an easy task even if the scheme of the book is to cover all the twelve houses of a horoscope and show it. But the success of Shri Mehta is very commendable and comes out as its most striking feature. All this became possible because for years now Sliri Mehta has been studying, writing and teaching scores of students as a result of which his insightful understanding stands out in this book. This is easily the best book on the predictive techniques of a horoscope with a balanced approach to the judgement of each house. Yet, one must remember, learning through books has its own advantages and limitations. All such learning must be supplemented through personal experience to appreciate and depth of the superb techniques of Hindu astrology. K.N. Rao 20 March 2002

Acknowledgment This book would not have been possible but for the guidance and encouragement of Shri K.N. Rao who is not only a great teacher but is also a great philosopher and saint. He has been the guiding light of hundreds of students whom he initiated into astrology and showed them the light of Jyoti, the real meaning of Jyotish. This light has been burnt will ever be the guiding star of life of hundreds. With his own humble way of living, dedicated teaching and preaching of astrology, Rao has not only become a legend but has set an example in the great traditions of our gurus and Mahatmas which is the real contribution of India to the world. Mr. Rao who is author of twenty-nine books of astrology is the editor and founder of Journal of Astrology, a prestigious magazine devoted to research and has written hundreds of articles which have been published all over the world. He has rediscovered the ancient truths hidden in our classics and many of his rules like that of double transit of transit of Saturn and Jupiter have become law and are quoted by the savants of Astrology. His predictions about the chaos and devastation taking all around us in the present day world which is the result of "entry of Rahu/Saturn in Rohini," have become classical examples of the truth and veracity of Astrology. The communal riots in Gujarat have come no surprise to the persons who have read his earlier predictions given years in advance. The failure of Monsoon this year inspite of the earlier claims of India Meteorological department that rains would be normal in 2002, are testimony to the truths of great science of astrology and the predictions about which was given by Rao in classes and in articles much in advance. He is the founder of School of Astrology in Bhartiya Vidya Bhawan which to-day has over a thousand students has become the largest school of Astrology in the world. I have made full use of his researches and have quoted liberally from his books and articles in my book to make astrology instructive and inspiring.

Above all his most important contribution is kindling of the light, the showing of Path on which to tread to achieve happiness and eternal bliss. That has been his major contribution for which we are indebted to him and in all my humility I dedicate this book to him, if some of the students and I am sure there would be many, are benefited by this book and find the inner meaning of Astrology, I would be amply rewarded. I am also thankful to Narinder Sagar and his son Saurab who have given me all the cooperation in publishing this book.

Introduction How to Read a Horoscope ? (Important Factors) To be able to give predictions accurately one has to be familiar with the rules and also have faith in astrology, one's Guru and God. The mere surrender to Divine and behef in religion and spiritual values will increase the predictive ability. Judgement of a horoscope needs great skill. Years of teaching experience has shown us that beginners get frustrated quickly as the predictions do not follow mathematical rules as a result even after studying astrology for years they are still confused as to the significance of first lord in the third house or role of Sun in the fifth house etc. The predictions have all the tendency to go wrong. The students get discouraged quickly and they start losing interest in this divine and spiritual subject. It is not only the students who get frustrated but the astrology also gets discredited in the process. Keeping in view these difficulties we have devised a course of lessons aimed at making a person conversant with the art of reading horoscope in an easy and concise way in the shortest possible time. Following important steps should be taken before starting delineating the horoscope. Step 1. To study the horoscope you must have following three charts: a. Birth Chart or Rasi Chart: This is also known as main horoscope or Janam Kundali. h. Chart treating Moon as the Lagna: This is important, as according to Maharishi Parasara horoscope should be studied not only from the ascendant but also from Moon treating it as Lagna. This has been made clear in Shloka 11 chapter 14 of Brihat Parasara Hora Shastra. For example if we have to judge wealth, we should study second house from the birth chart as also second from Moon.' If the result is positive from both Lagna and Moon; there is going to be

plenty of wealth. If the second house from Lagna shows wealth but second from Moon does not give a good picture then wealth will be moderate and so on. In still getting greater accuracy we should treat Sun as Lagna also. c. Navamsa and Relevant Varga Charts: Navamsa is an important divisional chart. No prediction should be made without consulting this. Its utility and other related matters have been discussed in a separate lesson on Vargas or divisional charts. General Rule: Planet favourable in Rasi but weak in Navamsa, either debilitated or in enemy house or in evil houses minimize good effects of Rasi. If planets improve in Vargas they give good results in Rasi chart. If planet is strong both in Rasi and Navamsa it is fullycapable of giving excellent results. d. Chart of the Dasha Scheme: It is no use giving prediction unless you have the Dasha scheme before you. A horoscope may have all the Raj Yogas but if the proper Dasha does not come good Yogas rarely give fruit Another important principle is to treat Dasha lord as Lagna and evaluate other houses accordingly. For example second house from the Dasha lord will represent wealth, third brothers, fourth property and so on. This is important principle as given in Phala Deepika. Step 2. General Assessment of the Horoscope - Signs Rising: a. You must feel the horoscope and the horoscope should be ready to tell its own story. See how many planets are exalted or aspecting their own houses. These houses are strengthened and give the frill results of their signification. In this you should concentrate on the sign rising and the sign in which Moon is located. All Rasis have their own characteristics and have their story to tell. For example Virgo is an intellectual sign but not so strong to resist diseases. A person with Virgo rising will lie down in the bed on even slight indications of bad cold, whereas a person with Aries sign rising will be still active and moving around even when he is running temperature of 100 degrees. Maladies of

ordinary nature do not bother him. He has tremendous stamina to resist these. A separate chapter has been devoted to signs rising and their results. This can be seen in the separate volume of this book. "Astrology - BasicFacts". These should be memorized. b. Ascertain the placement of the planets, and in which types ofRasis they are placed If majority of planets are in movable or char Rasis, the person is fond of travelling, his ideas change and in course of time he travels a lot. If majority of planets are in fixed or Sthir Rasis person is of conservative ideas and is of fixed habits. He normally stays at one place and is good at making factories and works at a regular and constant place. Majority of planets in dual or Dwishbhava Rasis give result in between. The person are sometimes here and sometimes there. They do not have fixed ideas which are liable to change. Again check placement of planets in different type of Rasis. If majority of planets are in fiery Rasis the person has great initiative, his ideas arc high and he aims to achieve great things in life. Majority of planets in earthy sign make one practical and industrious, in airy signs intelligent and fond of reading and in watery signs emotional, receptive, intelligent and of unstable mind. Step-3. Planets in Kendras or Trikonas: a.

b.

c.

Check the position of planets. The best place for benefits is Kendras and Trikonas. Here the planets become very strong. And strong benefits are necessary to give you maximum comforts in life. If the planets are in Kendras and are in their own signs they give rise to Mahapurush Yogas of prosperity. The malefics in Kendras unless they are exalted or in their own houses become strong to give trouble in life. For example malefics in the fourth house will destroy peace of mind, are not good for accumulating property as also are bad for mother. Similarly malefics in the 7th house will destroy married life. The best place for malefics are 3, 6 and 11 houses (not

their lordship, which makes them evil). They are extremely good here. d. A horoscope in which benefics are in Kendras and malefics are in 3, 6 and 11 is considered to be a strong horoscope and generally person rises very high in life. Step 4. Raj Yogas Present in the horoscope. After this, have a look at the placement of planets and the type of Yogas these are forming. The more Raj Yogas in the horoscope, the greater the prosperity and rise in life. Because of the importance of the subject a separate chapter has been devoted to Yogas. It has been our observation that the combination of Kendra and Trikona lords form the most powerful Raj Yoga. Without these Yogas it is not possible to achieve high status in life. Step 5. Strong and Weak Planets Astrology is nothing else but deciphering the results of strong and weak planets. A strong Sun gives a high status in life, makes one a leader, gives fame, wealth and prosperity, whereas a weak Sun give all type of problems including loss of reputation and wealth, struggle and strife. A strong Mars makes you fearless, takes you to the top of profession, and gives land and property, whereas weak Mars gives accidents, quarrels, various diseases, violent murders and massacres. Signification of each and every planet should be clearly understood and committed to memory. We have dealt with this subject exhaustively in a separate chapter. Broadly speaking the signification of each planet is given below, but before that we must know when is the planet strong and when it is weak. Because these will give diametrically opposite results. The, exact strength of a planet can be known through working of Shad-Balas and use of Ashtak Vargas. However, where it is not available or where the time is short the following thumb rules should be applied for strong and weak planets respectively. Strong Planet A Planet is Strong if it is; a. exalted b. is in its Mooltrikona sign/own house, in friend's Rasi. c. is conjunct with or aspected by benefics.

Well placed planets and their effect on character A strong and well-placed planet leaves his imprint on the character of the person. In this regard primary credit goes to Lagna lord/ planet placed in Lagna, 10lh lord or planet placed in 10th. Sun Strong Sun gives qualities of leadership, kindness; generosity makes one free from disease, gives energy and wealth. It gives nobihty of mind, loyalty, truthfulness, fearlessness, glory, success and victory. According to Phala Deepika, Sun gives fame courage and magnetism. A good Sun not owning 6,8 or 12 and owning a Kendra or Trikona placed in 1st is a great source of strength. In the natural zodiac it is lord of auspicious fifth house, which represents Purva Punya, Karmas of the past life. A strong Sun is a great factor for success in fife. Weak Sun makes one egotist, fond of flattery, gives false pride, vain glorious, and fond of exaggeration. Moon Moon makes one kind humane, sympathetic extremely generous, emotional, fond of travel, romantic, imaginative and exposed to public fife. They fall in love for the sake of love, without self-seeking. That is why they make good writers. It is Karka for mind and gives mental strength and prosperity. Weak Moon makes one unstable, unreliable, shifty wandering, moody, without any aim. Mars Strong Mars gives courage, initiative, daring warmth of feeling and truthfulness. Person with strong Mars especially in Lagna or on Moon sign know no fear. Gandhiji was bom with Chitra rising, Lagna lord in Lagna with Mars. He had great energy and moral strength, which cannot make him defeated. (See Horoscope of Mahatma Gandhi P-27) Weak Mars tends to encourage quarrels and strife, violence destruction, and proneness to accidents. It makes one lawless, licentious and thief, ready to commit rape and murder.

Introduction Mercury Strong Mercury makes one intelligent, humorous and quick-witted. It gives new knowledge, honours in sports and profits in business. With Venus it gives talent for music. Weak Mercury makes one nervous especially with Rahu, shifty, gives mental derangement and skin trouble. Jupiter Strong Jupiter makes one cheerful, hopeful generous, just incapable of lasting resentment, disposed to grandiose schemes, social, easy going and sympathetic with magnetic personality. Gives eminence in every thing. Grants wisdom and Sadgati. According to Jatak Parijat, Jupiter in the 4th gives Sukhmeva (only happiness). Jupiter is Karka for Dharma, religion, compassion, spiritualism, inner Gyan, truthfulness and righteousness, if well placed in the horoscope is gift from God. Placed in Lagna, where it gets directional strength and aspects, 5lh and 9* houses, the houses of Purva Punya and good fortune, it washes away hundreds of sins. According to Brihat Parasara Hora Shastra Jupiter in Kendra is a great protector. Ill placed and weak Jupiter leads to exaggeration, extravagance, high living and bragging. In the first house it makes one self indulgent, fond of food and makes one corpulent. Venus Venus makes one elegant, artistic, refined, cultured and social. He appreciates the things of beauty which is joy forever. Strong Venus makes one handsome, gives sex appeal and personal magnetism and makes one interested in music, art, dance and fine arts. Weak and afflicted, makes one pervert, unclean and disorderly. It spoils happy married life and causes delays in marriage. Saturn Saturn makes one philosopher and melancholy. Thrifty, careful cautions and slow. Patient and enduring, steadfast in devotion, has strong likes and dislikes. Copies foreign customs. Afflicted and weak Saturn makes one mean, morbid and cruel. Extremely selfish, unfortunate and neglected. Step 6. Role of Dusthan Houses According to Brihat Parasara Hora Shastra 6, 8, and 12 houses are Dusthanas or Trika houses. These houses are evil with a negative

role and have adverse implications for the chart. The 6th house even though is an 'Upachaya' house is the house of debt, diseases and enemies. Eighth house is the house of death, accidents, chronic diseases, thefts, suffering, humihation and obstacles. The twelfth house relates to expenditure, destruction, loss and downfall. Not only these houses are evil but lords of these also have propensity to do evil. Malefics in these houses cause untold misery and are weaknesses of the chart. Signification of a Bhava suffers if its lord is in 6, 8 or 12. Similarly lords of 6, 8 and 12th destroy the signification of house with which they combine or associate. For example if Lagna lord is in 6, 8 and 12 and is afflicted with the conjunction or aspect of malefics, health would suffer. Similarly placement of lord of two i.e., lord of wealth in 8th, 6th or 12th is not auspicious and good for wealth. Same will be the result if lords of 6, 8, or 12 are in Lagna or 2nd house or for that matter in any house. This applies to all the houses. Note: No Bhava should be treated as bad because all Bhavas are part of a divine scheme and have a certain function to perform. Sixth Bhava is good to achieve victory, eighth Bhava is important part of Moksha triangle and is goodfor awakening kundalini, and is also necessary for deep researches. Twelfth Bhava is essential for achieving Moksha or salvation. Step 7. Nakshatras Nakshatras have an important role to play in prediction. Memorize the placement of Nakshatras in each Rasi. We have a separate chapter on Nakshtras giving an easy rule to memorize them, their lord etc. Generally if the planets are in the Nakshtras of benefic planets or in their own Nakshatra they get strengthened. Nakshatras are important otherwise also. Bharni Nakshatra is not considered auspicious. Bajpai - Musharaff talks were held in Agra during last visit of Pakistan's President of India. These talks were held under Bhami Nakshatra and hence were doomed to failure. Again K.N. Rao's world famous predictions that entry of Saturn in

Rohini Nakshatra leads to war and world wide calamities has come truemany times. When Saturn was in Rohini Nakshatra World Trade Center in USA was given a devastating blow by the terrorists on 11th September 2001. And rest of the events, war in Afghanistan, overthrow of Taliban regime, bankruptcy of Argentina, famines, fires and floods in various parts of the world, Indo Pakistan border clashes etc. are testimony to the truths contained in classical books and vindication of Hindu astrology. Step 8. Dasha Scheme The Dasha scheme allotted at birth is result of one's Karma. If one gets good Dasha like Dasha of benefic planets, of Lagna lord or lord of nine in the beginning of fife, one has initial advantage. The education is good and as a result the prospects for a good job increases. In this connection Dasha of the 5th lord should be watched as 5th house represents Karmas of previous fife. If this lord is afflicted and this Dasha comes in life, this could be a troublesome period as the bad Karmas of previous life are going to bear their Suit. The best Dasha of life are Dasha of an exalted planet, Dasha of tenth lord and Lagna lord. JL Nehru the famous late Prime Minister of India got the right Dasha at the right time. He got Dasha of unafflicted Moon, his Lagna lord in 1948 and later that of strong 10th lord Mars, who is aspecting its own 10th house. He was catapulted to the post of India's first Prime Minister in August 1947 and to glory and fame bypassing the claims of Sardar Patel. His tenth house was very strong being aspected by its own lord and three benefics Jupiter, Mercury and Venus. Step 9. Combination of Good Houses with Evil Houses Please remember that there are two types of houses in the horoscope Group I Houses 1, 4, 7 and 10 (Kendra Houses), 5th and 9th (Trikona Houses), 2nd (house of wealth) and 11th (house of gain). Group n Houses 3rd, 6th, 8th and 12th The combination of houses in type 1 with each other give good results like wealth etc. and are called Dhana Yogas. For example

Techniques

combination of 1 st lord with 4th or 7th lord or with 5th or 9th lord with 2nd and 11 th lords are considered good and are wealth giving combinations. Similarly, combination of 5th lord with 4 or 2 or 11 is good. In the same way combination of any of the lord of 3,6,8 or 12 with any lord in group II is good and gives wealth. This also constitute Vipreet Raj Yoga e.g. combination of 3rd lord with 6th or 8th or 12th lord/house is good. But combination of any of the lords in group 1 with any of the lord in group 2 gives evil results. Similarly combination of any of the lords in group 2 with any lord in group 1 leads to evil and is called 'Daridra' or poverty giving Yoga. Step 10. Planets in their own houses or aspecting their own houses do good : According to Phala Deepika houses associated or aspected by thenown lords or benches or planets owning auspicious houses produce good results provided they are not associated or aspected by malefics. These good effects will be insured even when the planets are debilitated or combust. Supposing Saturn is posited in the eighth house in its own Rasi Capricorn then even though Saturn is a natural malefic planet and has the tendency to spoil all the houses where it is located, but since in this particular case it is in its own house it will give all the good results of the eighth house. It will bestow native with long life, give sudden gains and inheritance and protect him hum diseases and accident. But since this Saturn is also lord of nine, it as lord of nine in eight will spoil the signification of 9th house, for example he will not be so luckly, there will be obstacle on the road to success, it might cause problems for father during its Dasha etc. Now take another case for Virgo Lagna here Saturn is lord of five and six, a good house and a bad one. Supposing it is posited in the fifth house then even though it is malefic but just because it is in its own house it will give all the benefits pertaining to this house like native will have good children, he will be well educated, will be lucky in lottery, romances etc., but since it is also lord of six, there will be some hindrances and obstacles, education will be there but not so high; children will be bom but not many and so on. Step 11. Ownership of Good and Bad houses If a planet is lord of both a good house and a bad one then for the

Introduction

assessment of his overall effects see in which house its Mooltrikona sign is located. If it is located in a good house overall effects will be good. For example in Gemini Lagna Saturn is lord of eight and nine. In this case Saturn's Mooltrikona sign is in ninth an auspicious house, therefore, overall effects of this Saturn will be good. But in case of Virgo Lagna where Saturn is lord of 5th and 6th, its Mooltrikona sign is in the sixth. Therefore, Saturn of this Lagna will be overall malefic in nature, but it will have its good effects of lord of five also. It will give education but not so high etc. Step 12. Judgement of a Particular House: For judgement of any house the following three factors are to be taken into account; a. House b. House lord/ its dispositor - Dispositor is the lord of Rasi where the planet is located, e.g., in the horoscope on next page the dispositor of Moon is Mars, as Moon is in Scorpio Rasi whose lord is Mars. Not only the planet should be strong, its dispositor should also be strong i.e. should not be in 6, 9 or 12 or debilitated/combust etc. c. Karka - For example if we have to study the fourth house we will have to see the condition of the 4th house, its lord and Karka. Fourth house represents many things, property, mother, vehicles etc. For property we will see the condition of Karka for property which is Mars, for mother Karka is Moon and for vehicles Venus. House A house is strong if: (a) It is aspected by its own lord or has its own lord placed in it. (b) has benefic planets or is aspected by benefic and (c) is in 'Shubhkartari' Yoga. i. A house is considered weak if it has malefic planets or is aspected by malefics and is under Pap Kartari Yoga. For example if second house has benefic planets or has the aspects of benefic planets it will give wealth, the face will be beautiful and speech would be charming. And if 2nd house has its own lord or has the aspect of its own lord wealth would be there, its quantum will be depending upon presence of other Yogas for wealth. Similarly, the malefic planets will spoil the effects of 2nd house.

ii. Lord of the House: A strong lord of the house will promote the effects of the house. We have already explained the results of strong and weak planets. Example: An exalted fourth lord will give much property if the Karka Mars is also strong, ill. No prediction should be given unless you have taken into consideration the condition of Karka also. For example to predict about marriage you will consider not only 7th house and 7th lord but also its Karka Venus. A strong and well placed Venus is necessary for a happy and successful married life. iv. According to Phala Deepika malefics should not occupy 5, 9, 4, 8 and 12 from a house. Example: This is the horoscope of a famous musician Dr. Baikrishna Murali. We will study the condition of the mother: For giving predictions about mother we will study 4th house, 4th lord and Moon and one more factor 4th from Moon. This is an additional tool: for father we will also see 9th from Sun, for children 5th from Jupiter, for brothers 3rd from Mars and for wife 71h from Venus and so on. Fourth House: Let us study the fourth house first. Fourth house is vacant and has no benefic or malefic aspect. Fourth Lord: 4th lord is Jupiter which is with a malefic Sun and aspected by Saturn. The fourth lord is heavily afflicted. Dr. Baikrishna Murali Musician Rahu

Karka: Karka for mother is Moon. Moon is debilitated and is in the 12th. It is in Pap Kartari Yoga and is aspected by Mars. Thus Karka is totally afflicted and is powerless to protect the mother. In Ashtak Varga it has only three Bindus and hence is very week. In Na.va.msa also Moon is afflicted by Mars and 8th lord Mercury. Fourth from Moon: The fourth from Moon is Aquarius sign which is aspected by Saturn. The fourth lord from Moon is Saturn and is aspected by Sun and Mars. Fourth house and fourth lords are badly afflicted. Result: Balamurali lost his mother when he was quite young. Other Points to be remembered are : 1. According to Phala Deepika if the house under examination is in the 6th, 8th or 12th from the Lagna, that house is destroyed. The same will be the result if that house is occupied by lords of 6,8th or 12th. The house concerned will, however, flourish if it is aspected by a benefic. 2. Malefics occupying the 6th, 8th and 12th house with reference to Lagna or other house under examination cause the destruction of that house, according to Phala Deepika. 3. "Whichever house is occupied by the lord of Lagna gains in prosperity and well being. The good effects of such houses are enhanced if their lords are associated or aspected by the lords of Lagna" - Phala Deepika. 4. According to Phala Deepika Shloka 41, Sun and Moon are declared to be auspicious even when they own the 8th house i.e. for the people born in Makara and Dhanu they are respectively auspicious. This is because the Sun becomes the creator for person bom in Makara, while the Moon becomes the owner of the house in which Jupiter lord of Dhanu is exalted. 5. Lord of any house under consideration should not be in 3rd, 5th or 7th Nakshatra reckoned from Janam Nakshatra. The third Nakshatra from Janam Nakshatra (nakshatra in which Moon is located at birth), is called Vipat Tara, 5th is Pratyari whereas 7th Nakshatra is called Vadha Tara. The lords of these Nakshatras are evil according to Phala Deepika.

Chapter 1 First House or Lagna Body and Personality The first house is known as Tanu Bhava. It represents: 1. Body, its form, colour, complexion etc., 2. Personality. 3. General prosperity, 4. Beginning of life, childhood. 5. Health and character. According to sage Sattyacharya first house shows stay in foreign land, good and bad acts, place of residence, Balarishta or death at a young age, happiness or unhappiness. Uttara Kalamitra assigns 33 significations to the first house, among these are body limbs, hair, happiness, fame and freedom from ill health. 'The body, its complexion, its characteristics, fame, qualities, happiness or unhappiness, residence abroad, splendor, strength and weakness are known from first Bhava,' says Jatak Parijat. According to the same book 'the more auspicious the rising sign is, the longer will one live and be happy, and be in the good books of the rulers. According to K.N. Rao, Lagna, Moon and the Sun are three tripods on which a horoscope stands, if all the three are strong, the horoscope becomes powerful, and person is renowned, gets well recognized and may even achieve international fame. Phala Deepika is also of the view that strength of a horoscope depends to a great extent on the strength of Lagna, Sun and Moon. Role ofNavamsa Features and nature of a person are known from the lord of rising Navamsa at his birth or from powerful planet occupying Lagna. Its complexion is known from the Navamsa occupied by Moon. All good and evil in life of a person are known from Lagna as per Jatak Parijat. 'With Sun in its own Navamsa and Moon in its own sign, native becomes a king' - Phala Deepika Importance of Lagna (Ascendant) and Lagna Lord The role of Lagna lord cannot be over emphasised. A strong Lagna lord assures success in life. It is likened to engine of train of one's

1st House

Destiny. The more powerful the engine, smoother is the journey of life. According to Jatak Parijat if the rising sign is aspected by its own lord, one will be master of riches, be a genius and would bring good name to his family. Strong Ascendant Lord It is said that a person rises in life in proportion to the strength of Lagna lord. The mere occupation of Lagna by benefics or aspect of benefics is harbinger of good fortune. Lagna with benefics or aspected by functional benefics bestows great fortune in all walks of life. Vargottam Lagna adds additional strength. If the Lagna lord is placed in a Kendra along with a lord of Trikona or conjoined with lord of 10 native will enjoy prosperity and long lease of life. Lord of Lagna and lord of 8 both strong aspected by benefics give long life. According to Phala Deepika if lord of Lagna is strong the native becomes famous, will be happy and prosperous. If, however the lord of Lagna be placed in 6th, 8th, or 12th or is debilitated or in the sign of a malefic the native will be miserable and live in undesirable place. He will lead a sickly fife. (This could be true only if Lagna lord is afflicted). According to the same book if Lagna lord is exalted, person will be a king provided it is not in 6th, 8th or 12th. Health Parasara says that, if Lagna lord is well placed and is placed in Kendras or Trikona the native will enjoy good health. The health suffers if Lagna lord (i) is placed in 6th, 8th or 12th. According to same authority if Ascendant lord along with malefics occupies 6th, 8th or 12th house and is devoid of the conjunction or aspect of a benefic, the native will have short life or will have no issue, (fi) is combust (iii) is debilitated (iv) is in enemy's sign (v) has lost in planetary war (vi) if there are no benefics in Kendras (vii) if malefics are not in 3th, 6th and 11th (viii) if Moon has no Pakshabala, is in 6th, 8th, and 12th and is badly afflicted by malefics. While malefic planets are not considered good in 8th house, the Saturn as Ayush Karka (significator of long life) gives long life in 8th house. For strong health and long life Lagna lord should be stronger than 8th lord.

Afflicted 1st House a. The health of the person is not good if the first house is with malefics or has the aspect of malefic planets and b. Is in Pap Kartari Yoga. Bad Dasha a. Dasha of the malefic planets or lords of 6th, 8th and 12th are not conducive to good health. Note: Only one factor cannot give bad health. If Lagna lord is in 6th, 8th, and 12th and is also afflicted by the aspect/ association of malefics. only then the health suffers. b. Aspect on Lagna lord: malefic aspect causes problems for the health, while aspects or conjunction with benefic planets is good, says Parasara. // there are malefics in the first house the birth, infancy or youth becomes traumatic. Body and personality is obscured, disfigured or problematic. Handsome Personality Benefic in Ascendant makes one handsome, while malefics are not conducive to good looks - Parasara. According to Stree Jatakam if second and twelfth lords are benefic and join Lagna with no malefic planets, body becomes beautiful. Aspect of Moon or Venus on the first house or their strong placement in kendras give a handsome personality. General Prosperity According to Brihat Parasara Hora Shastra, Lagna lord, Jupiter, Venus, Mercury in Kendra and Trikonas, makes one healthy, wealthy and successful. Lagna lord in a movable sign and having aspect ofbenefics also gives fame, wealth and happiness. Lagna lord in 12th in its own Navamsa causes Vimal Yoga which brings luck, prosperity and influence, (see horoscope of Nargis Dutt). According to Prassan Reed 6th lord in 12th as also Lagna lord makes one rich. Lagna with/aspected by its own lord is a major Raj Yoga because it gives one an initial advantage in fife.

■■ First House This is a good combination for fame and riches. The person enjoys good health and has a long life. He is generally a success in life. He will be thoughtful and intelligent. However, if Lagna lord is afflicted with malefics it will cause bad health. According to Parasara he will be fickle minded, will have two wives and will be immoral. Second House This is a combination for earning money by self-efforts. One is learned, happy, good natured, religious minded and honourable. He also looks after his near family and relatives and is generous. He is successful in business and has great power of observation. Third House This is a good combination for artistic abilities. One is courageous, respectable, fortunate, intelligent, happy, famous as a musician artist or a mathematician.

Lagna lord in 3rd house gives vigour and spirit. According to Parasara one will be equal to a lion in valour, will have all kinds of wealth and will be intelligent and happy. If the lord is afflicted it will give opposite results, his vitality and strength suffers. Fourth House This is a good combination for wealth and prosperity as Lagna is a Kendra as well as Trikona, so association of Lagna and fourth house causes Kendra Trikona Raj Yoga. It is good for fame, riches and good education. This combination is good for prosperity to mother also. The health of the person is good. According to Parasara native is blessed with paternal and maternal happiness, has many brothers and will be lascivious and charming. The fourth house represents mind and the Lagna is body. Person becomes involved with his personality and tries to look handsome and attractive. Fifth House Lagna lord in the 5th is always auspicious. It is again a combination of Kendra and Trikona. It makes one famous, liked by rulers and makes one very intelligent and gives artistic abilities. According to Bhavarth Ratnakar for Aries Lagna Mars in 5 gives fame during its Dasha. And Jatak Parijat says 'If the Lagna lord is in 5th or 9th, or with lord of 5,9 or Lagna, father of the person is a famous man'. In the horoscope of Dr. Rabindra Nath Tagore, first lord is in the 5th exalted. Lagna lord in 5 is always auspicious-But Parasara says that it does not give much happiness from sons and first child may not live long. (This may only happen if the lord is debilitated or afflicted.) Sixth House If the Lagna lord is strong it may give a high rank in the army, or may take one to medical profession where one may prosper. However, Lagna lord in the sixth with malefics or having aspect of malefics is not good for health. One will also be troubled by his enemies.

Seventh House While it is good for general health and prosperity as Lagna lord aspects its own house; it may some times give two marriages. Lagna lord in movable signs in the 7th house may give much travelling also. Eighth House If Lagna lord is strong it makes one learned, popular and with a religious bent of mind as 8th is an important part ofMoksha triangle. Otherwise, one with Lagna lord in the eight with malefic aspect/ association gets chronic and incurable diseases. According to Parasara he will be sickly, thievish, extremely wrathful, a gambler and interested in others' wives. According to Bhavarth Ratnakar one is lucky in Aries Lagna if Moon and Mars are in Ascendant or in eight. Prashar says he will also have knowledge of occult powers. If the Lagna lord is strong one gets unexpected wealth, lottery, legacy and money through speculation.

If hill Moon and Venus join Atma Karka in the Navamsa the person will command great wealth. 3. If the 11th house from-Pad Lagna is occupied or aspected by planets, one becomes rich. 4.

Example Queen Elizabeth 21.4.1926 a. In the horoscope of Queen Elizabeth, lord of 9 from Lagna is Mercury. It has been allotted 8 Kalas. The lord of nine from Moon is Jupiter who gets 10 Kalas. Add 8 and 10 together, and you get 18 Kalas. b. Divide 18 by 12 and you get a remainder of 6. c. Count 6 from Moon. This is Sagittarius, the 12th house which in this particular horoscope is Indu Lagna. Some of the astrologers use Jaimini system for computing Indu Lagna, and make use of Jaimini aspects. In this Kalas (rays) or units are the same. But the method of counting 9 is different in odd Queen Elizabeth /\ Indu Lag / i \ Ketu / Lafi \ 9 / Jup JxDt Sfli Mars / \

In Jaimini system, movable Rasis (Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn) aspect fixed Rasis (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius) excepting adjacent ones and vice versa. The dual Rasis (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces) aspect one another. The aspect of Rasis means planets in it. The more planets aspect Indu Lagna, the better is the results for wealth.

A planet in its own house or exaltation sign makes one millionaire. ii) Exalted malefic (Saturn, Sun and Mars) planets in Indu Lagna give immense riches towards the end — Koteshwar Yoga. Even malefics in this Lagna give wealth, though not so much. iii) Even one benefic planet in Indu Lagna aspected by benefic or malefic gives plenty of wealth. • iv) Occupied by pure malefics it gives moderate wealth. v) All planets situated in it or aspecting this Lagna give wealth during their Dashas. vi) Also planets situated in trines or quadrants (trikona and Kendras), from this Lagna give wealth during their Dasha -Antardasha. vii) It has been observed that Jupiter in transit, when it comes in Kendras from this Lagna gives property, wealth and happiness. viii) The planets situated in 3, 6,8 and 12 from this Lagna destroy wealth.

the person enjoys all material happiness and is prosperous. Add the Bindus in Lagna, 2nd, 4th, 9th, 1 Oth, and 11 th from Lagna. If this total is more than 164, the person will be prosperous. The 12 houses are divided into 4 groups; Bandhu: 1,5 and 9 Sevaka: 2, 6 and 10 Poshak: 3, 7 and 11 Ghatrka: 4, 8, and 12 If Poshaka figures are higher than Ghataka figures, the person is wealthy. If Sevaka is higher than Bhandhu the person will always be subservient to others. If Lagna lord has exchanged places with the 4 th lord or its lord has connections with this house, the person will be as wealthy as a king. All the seven planets if associated with 6 to 8 Bindus in their own Ashtak Varga bestow plenty of wealth to the individual. The results are accentuated if planets are exalted (with the exception of Saturn in Lagna), or are in own or Mooltrikona houses, and occupying Kendra or Trikona houses. Dispositor of Jupiter if well placed in Kendras or Trikonas and has more than 4 Bindus in Jupiter's Ashtak Varga bestow great riches. If Jupiter is having more than 4 Bindus and is associated with Venus in a Kendra or Trikona the native becomes highly prosperous. Venus with 5 Bindus in Aries or Scorpio and aspected by benefics give wealth, prosperity and vehicles. Position in Kendra or Trikona gives better results.

Loss of Wealth or Yogas of Poverty 1. 2.

If the Sun is in deep debilitation i.e. is at 10° Libra, all good Yogas, according to Parasara are cancelled. Kemadruma Yoga, when there are no planets in 2nd or 12 or in Kendra from Moon, this Yoga is generated. This is not a good Yoga for prosperity.

Rao replied that the girl would be married very soon and with a man having lot of property. Please see the following horoscope.

This girl was passing through Mahadasha of Moon, Vargottam and the Antar Dasha of Mars, Lord of Lagna aspecting 10th house. Moon has also the aspect of 5th lord Sun and 10th and 11th lord Saturn. With strong Gaj Kesari Yoga and a strong 4th house/4th lord she was bound to find happiness and property, which could only be found in her husband's home. As the luck would have it, a rich landlord ofU. P. was looking for a match for his middle-aged son who had dislike for fashionable girls and wanted a plain looking and not too educated a girl to be his wife. So the destiny brought them together and catapulted this girl into a rich family with all the paraphernalia of wealth and property. Such is the power of a strong Vargottam 4th lord. Ownership of Palatial Houses Some people are born very lucky, 'with a silver spoon in the mouth', as they say, and bring also a great deal of good luck to their parents. The nature is kind to them and they five all their life in luxury and idyllic surroundings, with palatial houses and related paraphernalia. See the horoscope of Pundit Jawahar Lai Nehru. K.N. Rao, in his book The Nehru Dynasty' has dilated on this subject and says that while Nehru, a pampered child was surrounded by luxury, with a private swimming pool and tennis court as yet he was born when his father was not so rich and used to live in locality of poor people, Rao gives astrological' reasons for Nehru subsequently living in luxuries and grandiose building by stating that

'with Mercury and Venus in Libra in the 4th house, he was destined to live in a luxurious house. In Mercury-Venus period of Nehru, his father moved to a better locality and in Mercury-Rahu (1897-1900) the family shifted into famous Anand Bhawan. Mercury in the 4th house is well understood for this change, the 12th in the 4th being the combination for change of residence. Why the Rahu sub period had to be significant can be understood if it is seen that Rahu in the 12th house is in the 4th from 9th. The 9th house is the father and 4th from 9fh house with Rahu in it aspected by Jupiter had to give to Nehru's father a grand mansion, Anand Bhawan. It may also be noted that 4th house has 30 benefic points in Ashtak Varga and its lord Venus is extremely strong in its Moolatrikone sign with 6 points. Mars, the Karka for property is again strong with 6 points. However, it is in the enemy house. This may be the reason that unlike modem politicians he did not go on amassing huge landed assets. From Jaimini angle the 4th from Karkamsa, Lagna, Dhanu, has the aspect of Mars, strong Jupiter and exalted Rahu - again a good combination for owning palatial houses. Maharishi Parasara in Brihat Parasara Hora Shastra has laid emphasis on the strength of the 4th house/4th lord and its placement in Kendra and Trikona. Sarvarth Chintamani has in addition linked 9th house and position of a benefic in 3rd house also. Combination with 10th lord provides multistoried buildings. It has also laid emphasis on the Kendra position of lord of Navamsa occupied by 41h lord. Position of Mars, Karka for property and houses is also very important. According to Sanketa Nidhi if Mercury is in the 4th, house would be artistic, with Moon new and Jupiter gives strong and durable houses. Sun and Ketu flimsy, Saturn and Rahu old, Venus lovely and Mars gives a building prone to fire. Jatak Tatwa says that 1. Moon and Venus in 4th house give multistoried house. 2. Planets in exaltation in 41h house - same results as above. 3. Ketu and Mars - brick houses. 4. Jupiter - a house of timber. 5. Sun - a hut of grass. . 6.

With Saturn and Rahu there is house of stones, rocks etc. Mars or Ketu again gives house of stones. In case there is Jupiter in 4th from Karkamsa the house is made of wood. 2. All Raj Yogas, Mahapursh Yogas and Dhana Yogas formed with Moon - Sunapha, Anapha, Gaj kesari, Chander Mangal and Adhi Yogas are important. 3. Role of Vargottam Lagna and Vargottam planets in the horoscope together with exalted planets, in Mooltrikona signs etc. add luster to the horoscope. 4. Role of 4fh house/lord and Karkas for property Mars and Jupiter in Kendra Trikona invariably provides one with a house. Venus the great benefic has special role to play.

Deep Scrutiny 1. Check the placement of Jupiter, Venus and Mars and ensure that they are placedin a good place, i.e. in Kendras, or Trikonas. 2. Houses are made in the Mahadasha of Jupiter, Venus or Mars. 3. For timings in transit Jupiter should be in 1,4,8 or 12 houses. 4. Happiness of having a house should be judged from 4,8, and 11 houses. Good Nakshatras promise happiness. 5. Jupiter has a major role to play. If it is exalted, in Mooltrikona or own house, in 1, 4, 8 or 10, promise of having a house of one's own - a good house - becomes certain. 6. Though Jupiter is a significator for a, house, if such a Jupiter is associated with Rahu, Saturn, Jupiterian promise of a house is fiilfilled, but an old and dilipidated house is the result. 7. If Jupiter and Venus together establish relationship with 1, 4,8, 10 houses, promise of a good house is assured. 8.

Saturn and Sun in 4th house, mean worries for house most of one's life.

9.

Saturn and Sun combined in the 4th, can also mean good house as a tenant. 10. Moon in the 4, farm or farm house.

11. Venus in 4, house with a garden. 12. Exalted Satum-good or many houses. 13. Rahu in 4, or own Nakshatra person is deprived of house. 14. Ketu in 4 buy and sell farms and make profit. For living house should be in the East, hospital in the West, and garden and place of entertainment in South. Mr. Rao who is a pioneer in modem researches in Astrology has laid great emphasis on examination of Chathurthamsa as if it were the main chart. This has given excellent results. In this Lagna, Lagna lord, 4th house, 4th lord and placement of Mars, Jupiter and Venus are to be seen. Case Study I Owner of this horoscope has property worth hundreds of crores.

But for studying vocational or education at college/University level we will study the fifth house. Parasara calls fifth house as house of intelligence as also of learning and Maharishi Jaimini uses 5th house for education. Fifth house also denotes talent, devotion to God learning, and wisdom. Jupiter Rules talent, intellect, learning, wisdom and children. According to Jaimini Sutras Jupiter joins Karkamsa or the fifth from Karkamsa, one is all rounder and knows many branches of knowledge, well read in sciences and author of various works. He becomes a versatile genius. Mercury and Venus is good combination for intelligence, education and knowledge. 5th house in Shubh Kartari Yoga, Jupiter in Kendra or Trikona is good for education. Mercury and Venus in 5th house gives success in academic career. The disposition of Moon on the cusp of Ascendant or on the cusp of 5th house denotes flair for Music and poetry.

The 5th lord of Saptamsa, Jupiter is with a beneftc Mercury but is aspected by 6th lord, Mars, who is the Lagna lord and so a helpful planet also. The marriage took place in the Dasha of Rahu who is not a child giver. From September 1982 the Dasha of Jupiter started which is a qualified child giver. In 1983 the Antar Dasha would be that of Jupiter which will be the best period. In 1983 Saturn was in Libra the 5th house and Jupiter in Scorpio on the 5th lord. In 1983 he had his first child after 10 years of marriage.

The 5th house is aspected by retrograde Saturn meaning delay in birth of children. The aspect of Jupiter, provides some relief. 2. The retrograde 5th lord Venus would give erratic results. 3. In Saptamsa the 6th lord Mars is in the 5th house. Here again the aspect of Jupiter provides some relief. 4. The 5th lord of Saptamsa, Venus is in the 6th house aspected by Sun, Mercury (Lagna lord) and Saturn the 8th and 9th lord. Note: Saturn the 9th lord in both the horoscopes is a qualified child giver. 5. After 1965 Rahu - Venus period started. Rahu in the 9th house is qualified to give children. Venus is the 5th lord. Transit In the second half of 1967, Saturn was in Pisces but retrograde in the 9th house and Jupiter in Leo was aspecting the 9th house. Mars transiting between Scorpio and Sagittarius was aspecting the 5th lord Venus. On September 1968 when Saturn was in Aries, aspecting the 5th house and 5th lord, and Jupiter and Mars in Leo aspecting the 9th house, his wife prepared to deliver a baby. Denial of Children Yogas that Deny Children This has been discussed in details in Chapter 14 of the book "Planets and Children" by K. N. Rao. In brief the Yogas that deny children are as follows : 1. Beeja/Kshetra Sphuta should not be associated with 8th lord, Mercury, Saturn or Rahu. Nor these sensitive points should have affliction both in Rasi and Navamsa charts. 2. Rahu in the 5th house in the Rasi of Mars or Rahu in the 5th aspected by Mars. 3. Conjunction of Rahu with the 5th lord. 4. Rahu in Lagna, Mais and Jupiter in the 5th. 5. Rahu and Mercury in the 5th. 6. According to Mantreshwara conjunction of 5th and 7th lords or exchange between them denies children. (This is true in some cases only.) 7. Weak Jupiter, weak Lagna lord, weak 5th and 7th houses deny children. This is known as "Anapathya Yoga". 8. Lagna lord and 5th lord in 6th, 8th or 12th with Jupiter debilitated and Mercury and Saturn in 5th. 9. Saturn in 5th aspected by Moon. 10. 2nd, 5th and 7th lords conjunct in one house-Navamsa lords of these planets malefic and also occupying malefic signs. These combinations in classical books have been dealt with under the head curses of snakes, father, mother, brothers etc. It has been observed that if Rahu, 5th house/5 th lord and Lagna are

94


afflicted it is due to curse of father. If Moon and 4th house are afflicted it is due to the curse of mother. 3rd house/lord and Mars represent curse of brother etc. Example Chart : \

VI - Sex of Children 1. 5th house 5th lord planet aspecting or posited with them and Jupiter normally give a clue to ascertain the sex of child. This should be examined from, Rasi Chandra Lagna Navamsa and Saptamsa charts. 2. Use can also be made of 'Putra Pada' and 5th from Beeja/ Kshetra Sphuta. Putra Pada is as many houses away from 5th lord as 5th lord is from the 5th house. 3. Sun Mars and Jupiter are male planets, Moon Venus are female and Saturn and Mercury are eunuchs. Their association with 5th house 5th lord give a clue to the sex of a child. 4. Also see whether 5th house/lord fall in masculine or feminine Rasis. All odd Rasis are male and all even signs are female. 5. Retrograde planets give unpredictive results. 6. Dashas are also indicative of the sex of children. Dasha of a male exalted planets give normally birth of a son. 7. 5th lord in 5th favourably disposed gives number of sons. 8. 5th lord in exaltation or occupying a Kendra or Trikona gives many children. 9. Mercury and Ketu in company of Sun in a male sign behave like male planets. Planets in association with male planets in male Rasis give sons. 10. Moon in the 5th house normally gives a daughter as a first child. 11. According to Sarvarth Chintamani the children should be considered from the 5th, 7th and 9th houses. 12. According to Jatak Parijat malefics in 6th, 8th and 12th from 5th house are not conducive to birth of sons. 13. The sex of first child should be studied from the 5th house, the second from the 7th and 3rd from the 9th. Lesson No. 7 Birth of Worthy Children 5th house, 5th lord, Karka Jupiter and position of Sun enable one to find whether one will get worthy children or not. 1. Jupiter as the 5th lord and Sun well placed give children. 2. Strength of the 5th lord and its placement in Kendra and Trikona is pointer to happiness from children. 3. Jupiter's aspect on the 5th house or the 5th lord and 5th house having benefic aspects give birth to children who bring a good name to parents. 5th house should be assessed from Chandra Lagna also.

5th lord's association with 6th lord give birth to a child who is hostile to father. Likewise association of 5th lord with 8th and 12th lords gives similar results. In this due care should be taken to assess benefic aspects and other mitigating circumstances like placement of good Lagna lord, luminaries and presence of other Raj Yogas. Malefic effects on 5th house/5 th lord give birth to children who become source of mental torture and agony This point has been highlighted by K.N. Rao in his monumental work "Karma and Rebirth". See the following horoscopes of an illustrious couple, a father and a mother

Father's horoscope 1. Note the position of 5th lord Jupiter, placed in the most powerful Kendra, the tenth. 2. There is no affliction to the 5th house. 3. The 5th lord Jupiter is also aspecting the 9th lord Moon in the 2nd house, the house of Kutumba. 4. The Moon in mm is aspected by the Lagna lord and exalted 4th lord ensuring Raj Yoga and happiness. 5. 5th house from Moon Aries is aspected by the 9th and 10th lords from Moon, Sun and Mercury, making a powerful connection between Poorva Janama and Karma. Mother's Horoscope (see chart next page) 1. 5th lord Jupiter is in the 10th again, the Karmasthan with exalted Moon unafflicted by malefics making a very powerful Gaj-Kesari Raj Yoga. 2. 5th house is unafflicted. 3. 5th liom Moon is aspected by its own lord Mercury having Neech Bhanga Raj Yoga with exalted Venus, the Moonsign lord and 10th lord liom Lagna. It is no doubt that the offsprings of this noble couple attained eminent positions in life, remained devoted to their parents all their life and became a source of inspiration and nobility to hundreds around them. VIII- Number of Children In these days of family planning it is very difficult to ascertain the number of children. Some methods mentioned in the classical books are given below. These give accurate results in limited number of cases only 1. The number of children can be ascertained from the number ofNavamsas the 5th lord has moved.

In Ashtak Varga the number of children is known from the benefic Bindus containedin the 5th from Jupiter in Jupiter's Ashtak Varga. The Nakshatra method which gives slightly better results is not mentioned here.

As an Upachava 6th gives beneficial results also but its Dusthana results are not disallowed from showing Human life exists so long as it can withstand onslaught of hostile forces of nature outside. Strength of inner attributes withstand competition from outside. Weak attributes meet defeat and in consequence suffer pain physically and mentally. Sixth house and planets relating to 6th show weakness or strength of the native, his opportunities and limits to fight against foes and misfortune. In the modem world where the struggle for existence is acute, sixth house must be strong to give you all the material advantage and crush opposition but it should be weaker than Ascendant.

competition. Malefics in the 6th House Malefics in the 6th are considered good, and show strength of the horoscope, but they should not be afflicted while benefics are considered wasted. However, if three afflicted malefics planets are located or aspect the 6th or 8th house, person remains sick since birth and suffers due to machination of enemies and undergoes monetary losses. Benefics in the Sixth Benefics in six are considered wasted because the best position for them is Kendras where they become strong and give material and monetary advantage to the person concerned. However, they save one from diseases, debt and litigation. Strong Moon with more than 5 Bindu (benefic points of Ashtak Varga, makes a man millionaire (Horoscope of Henry Ford). According to Bhavarth Ratnakar. Moon in six makes one intelligent and in third fickle. Good benefics, not afflicted in a good Rasi give good results.

If Venus is exalted in Navamsa it gives a dignified wife, if Vargottam she is cultured. Similarly position of Mars should be examined.*A retrograde Mars and that which is debilitated or aspected by malefics causes problems in marriage. Examination of Navamsa If the Navamsa occupied by lord of seven is benefic and lord of seven is also associated with benefics, it shows a good and happy married life. Placement ofLagna Lord/Moon vis a vis 7th lord and Venus: Lagna lord and Moon should be well placed (means they should not be in 6, 8, and 12 position) with respect to 7th lord and Venus for mutual harmony otherwise there will be frustration and discontentment.

However, before applying these rules it may be understood that no one combination can make a person immoral in sexual behaviour or steadfast in marital fidelity. The horoscope should be seen as a whole to arrive at any firm conclusion. Role of Venus : 1. Venus should not be afflicted especially when it establishes a role with 7th house. If Venus is afflicted by Saturn the person does not care for moral customs and may have relations outside the caste. The affliction by Mars leads to uncontrolled sexual desires. Rahu's affliction leads to scandals. If Venus is in Ascendent debilitated or in interplanetary war and is also present in Lagna of the Navamsa the sexual desires become uncontrollable. 2. Affliction of Venus by debilitated planets or planets in interplanetary war especially when 7th house is involved. 3. Venus in Gemini Rasi: A large number of articles have been written on the role of Venus in Gemini Rasi. It is held that Venus in Gemini Rasi causes married unhappiness unless there is exchange of Rasi between Venus and Mercury. Venus in Gemini Navamsa gives problems after marriage and may lead to extra marital relations. However, it should be understood that this is a classical combination for artists and musicians also. 4. Seventh eighth and ninth houses in a horoscope either from Lagna or from Moon should not be consequently occupied by malefics. This causes disturbance both before or after the marriage. 5. Location of Saturn in 7th house in Navamsa chart gives unconventional marriage and also disturbs marital harmony. It

may lead to post marriage marital infidelity. Interplanetary war between first and 7th lord is not good. In the female horoscope the placement of 7th lord in the 9th is not considered good. It may lead to erratic sexual behaviour of husband. The husband may have two wives or have illicit relations outside marriage. It is called Saptni Yoga or Avaklatra Yoga. In female behaviour also there may be tendency to have many relations outside marriage if the lord is heavily afflicted. 8. There should not be malefics in the 8th from Lagna, Moon or Venus. Eight is the house of sexual acts and should be fiee from affliction. 9. Afflicted Mars also disturbs married life as it represents husband in a female chart and sexual drive in a male horoscope. 10. The presence of Saturn in the 9th house is not considered good even when exalted or in a friendly house. It disturbs marriage. Opposition to Marriage: To judge whether there will be opposition to marriage always consult Varga chart Chathurthamsa or D/4. Also see Dasha scheme. If Rahu is misplaced say in Antardasha it is in 6, 8, and 12 from the Mahadasha lord the girl will run away from the house to get married. If Dasha - Antar Dasha lord are in Trikona reconciliation will take place. D/4 shows disturbance at home. In girl's horoscope check Dasha / Antar / patyantar at marriage and see from D/4 whether there is change in house or not, 4/10 house afflicted or not. See whether (Darakarka) is in 8th it will cause problems. In transit when Jupiter, Sat/Jupiter aspect Darakark time of marriage has come. (Jaimini aspects) Venus is comfortable in airy-earthy signs. Its debilitation can be ignored in Kendra-trikona. Sun is worst enemy in marital matters. Two together in fiery sign except in Sagittarius-marriage crumble in operating period of sub lord. Sub lord is more important. Lagna and Moon should be harmoniously placed from 7 / 7 lord. Adverse placement of Moon or Lagna from 7/7 lord - and Venus are main factor for disharmony. Kendra, Trikona, 3/11 are good positions. Moon with 7/ Tlord and Venus direct or indirect association is cause for happy married fife. 6. 7.

Operative period of sub lord is important- if enemy of Lagna or Moon and weak and afflicted contact with 7/7 lord or Venus is not good. - See Transit also if malefics planets are involved. Planets in seven-influence marriage, pay special attention to Lagna lord if in 7, and planets with it. Whatever Lagna, Sun and Moon have spiritual and mental base and as such are important. In male, Venus and Moon should not be afflicted. In female Saturn should not afflict Mars and Sun and Venus. Benefics in 9 house bring help from relations of wife. Malefics cause trouble. Mangali Dosha or Kuja Dosha The concept of Mangal Dosha or Kuja Dosha is the most dreaded and most misunderstood concept in matching the horoscopes in Astrology. The untrained and unskilled astrologers misuse this to the hilt and as a result many a parents of the prospective brides or grooms have sleepless nights in finding the right matches for the daughters and sons. As the conditions stand today, finding right matches for would be brides is an arduous task where women are paraded like cattle for the scrutiny of would be bridegrooms. As it is, the parents of the girls have difficult time in finding right matches for the daughters, the concept of Kuja Dosha compounds the problem by restricting the choice, thus adding to their miseries. As a result they have sometime to falsify the horoscopes thus compounding the problems and making. It still worse. It is very interesting to note that classical texts on Jyotish hardly make a reference to the Kuja Dosha. They only make a passing reference to results of Mars in different houses. What is Kuja / Mangali Dosha Kuja or Mangal is another name for Mars, the most malefic planet in the horoscope. It is said that if it is located in houses 2nd, 12th, 4th, 7th and 8th house in the horoscope of a girl it will lead to the death of the husband or if it is in the horoscope of a male it will kill his wife. The basis for this is following Sanskrit Shloka: Dhanvyaye or patale jamitre or ashtame kuja: Strinma bhartri vinashach bhartarunam strivishanam which means if Mars is in the 2nd, 12th, 4th, 7th and 8th house in the horoscope of a female, the death of the husband will occur.

138 Analysing Horoscope Through Modem Techniques Similarly placed in husband's horoscope leads to death of wife." Some scholars are of the opinion that 1st house should also be included because from here Mars aspects the 7th house. These houses have to be judged from 1) Lagna, 2) Moon (it is alternate Lagna and represents mind and 3) Venus, as Venus is the Karka for sex. The Dosha is strongest fiom Venus, little less strong from Moon and least strong from Lagna. Why these houses: 1. Mars in the 1st House: it is bad because from here it aspects the 7th house of marriage, the fourth house of mental peace and eighth house of longevity of marriage (as it is 2nd fiom 7th, the house of marriage). 2. Mars in the 2nd House: The second house represents Kutumba or family. From here it also aspects the eight and hence it is bad for longevity of marriage. 3. Mars in the 4th House: Fourth rules domestic happiness or peace of mind, fiom here it aspects 7th house. 4. Mars in the 7th House: The 7th house represents house of marriage, or husband/wife. According to Phala Deepika with Mars in the 7th, person wanders on roads and loses his wife. According to Saravalli the subject's wife dies, he will be unhappy and leads a sinful life. 5. Mars in the 8th: Eight represents longevity of husband or wife. It is also house of 'Mangalaya' (Saubhagya). Mars in the eighth house has been universally condemned in the astrological literature. It is supposed to give following results i) It is said to effect the longevity of the person or the spouse. ii) Accidents, injuries to the person may happen. iii) One gets hindrances in all walks of life. It is said that well placed planets in Kendras and Trikonas are not able to give lull effect because of the placement of the Mars in the eighth. Exceptions : 1) For Kanya (Virgo) Lagna Mars in its own house gives a long fife.

7th House

139

2) For Mesha (Aries) Lagna. Mars again gives long life. 3) For Mithun (Gemini) it is exalted and again gives long life. However, according to K.N. Rao. Mars in the 8th also gives landed property, being significator of land in the house of inheritance. ii) It gives some additional source of money (fair or unfair means) iii) There is some injury or accident. iv) In married life it gives some problem relating to health of self, spouse or children. 6. The 12th represents Say anna Sukha, pleasures of bed or sexual enjoyments. Mars from here aspects the 7th house of marriage. Therefore, the placement of Mars in these houses is detrimental to the spouse and hence is known as Kuja Dosha. Cancellation of Kuja Dosha. i) It is believed that if such a Dosha is found in both the horoscopes of bride and bridegroom the Dosha gets cancelled. ii) If one of them has Mars in Lagna, the 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th or 12th, and the other Saturn, Rahu or Ketu in any one of the above houses then too the defects gets cancelled. iii) It is also believed that this Dosha does not operate after 28 years of life. Unfortunately, the family Pundits attach too much importance to this one factor in matching of horoscopes whereas there are many other negative or positive factors to be assessed before an announcement is made about the compatibility. It has been observed that in hundreds of horoscopes there is no kuja Dosha yet the marriages have broken down or spouses have died. Similarly there are horoscopes where Kuja Dosha is present yet the couples have had long happy married life. What is important is that horoscope should be seen in totality and other factors for a happy marriage life should be assessed. For example in choosing the match for a girl the emphasis in the horoscope of would be bridegroom should be 1) He should have a long life 2) He should be able to financially support the family. 3) He should be of sound morals 4) Married life should be happy

140 Analysing Horoscope Through Modem Techniques Similarly for choosing a bride the emphasis should be on i) High morality and good looks. ii) Behaviour and capacity for adjustment. iii) Happy married life. iv) Behef in religion and traditional values. v) Ability to look after children and give them fine upbringing. vi) Long, disease free life. While matching horoscopes the basic astrological principles must be kept in view. These are i) Benefics in Kendras and Trikona are good and promote happiness. They also give long life. ii) Malefics in 3,6 or 11 promote happiness by lending strength to the horoscope, keeping in check the manifestation of negative factors. Dr. B.V Raman's view as given in his book "Electional Astrology" is quoted here for guidance. "Granting that Kuja Dosham is a factor whose occurrence should not be ignored, there are antidotes which are not generally known to the rank and File of Hindu Astrologers." The exceptions as stated by him are: 1. In the 2nd house Mars is not bad in the signs of Mercury that is Gemini and Virgo. 2. In the 4th Mars does not give rise to. 'Mangal Dosha' in its own signs Aries or Scorpio. 3. In the 7th Mars does not give any Dosha in the signs of Cancer and Capricorn. 4. In the 8th it does not give rise to Dosha in the signs of Jupiter i.e. Sagittarius or Pisces. 5. In the 12th house there is no Dosha in the signs of Venus i.e. Taums or Libra. 6. According to him there is no Kuja Dosha in the sign Leo or Aquarius. And Dosha is counteracted by the conjunction of Mars and Jupiter or Mars and Moon. 7. Mars does not confer Dosha, if it is exalted or is in its own house or its exaltation Navamsa. It is harmless in Cancer or Leo.

For Rasis Taurus Gemini, 2, 3 - Cancer Leo 4, 5, - Virgo Libra 6, 7 -, Scorpio Sagittarius 8,9,- Capricorn Aquarius 10, 11 - Pisces, Aries 12, 1, 2/12 position not bad as Rasi lord are friends. 4. 3/11/position is benefic 5. 4/10 is benefic and gets hill 7 marks but in 2, 5 - 4, 7, - 6, 9, - 8, 11-10, 1, 12, 3 positions are malefic as Rasi lord are enemies.

6/ 8 position is called ShadAshtak and is bad as Rasi lords are enemies, but if like in Aries Scorpio, In Gemini / Capricorn, Cancer / Aquarius, Rasi lords are friends or same position is not so bad. 6/8 position causes disease and death. 1/7 position is good and gets 7 points. Except in Cancer / Capricorn, Leo and Aquarius. Malefic Bhakkoota lose maleficience if 1. Rasi lords are friends. 2. Proper Nadi has been matched. 3. Navamsha's lords are friends. 4. Both horoscopes have benefic Tara. 5. Vashya and Nadi matching is present. For ready reference use chart on next page. 8. Nadi: Matching There are three Nadis, 1. Aadi 2. Madhya and 3. Antya i) Aadi Nadi has Nakshatras Ashvini, Ardra, Punarvasu, U Phalguni, Hasta, Jyeshta, Moola, Satabhisha, Poorva Bhadarpad ii)Madhya Nadi: Nakshatras are Bhami, Mrigsira, Pushya, P Phalguni, Chitra, Anuradha, Poorvaashada, Dhanishta, Uttarabhadrapad. in)Antya Nadi has Nakshatras Krittika, Rohini, Ashlesha, Magha, Swati, Vishakha, Uttar Ashadha, Shravan and Revati. Boy and girl should not belong to same Nadi. If they belong to different Nadis give 8 points. 1 If bride belongs to Bhami Nakshatra and boy belongs to Chitra Nakshatra it is same Nadi and is called Nadi Dosha Exceptions: If boy and girl have same Janam Rasi but different Nakshatra there is no Nadi Dosha. Example both have their Moon in Gemini, one is bom in Ardra Nakshatra but other is born in Punarvasu Nakshatra, hence there is no Nadi Dosha. In case both are bom in same Nakshatra but different Rasi, still there is no Nadi Dosha For example both are born in Krittika Nakshatra, but one is bom in Aries Rasi and other in Taums hence there is no Nadi Dosha. Krittika, one in Aries other in Taums no Dosha. 111) Both may be bom in same Nakshatra but in different Charnas even then there is no Nadi Dosha.

7th House

151

Boy's Nakshatra immediately after girl's Nakshatra is considered inauspicious, For example boy's Nakshatra is Pushya whereas girl's Nakshatra is Punarvasu. This matching is not enough. 1. One should see longevity of both from their individual charts 2. See also Longevity from each other chart. Any combination for widowhood in one's chart must have a similar combination in other chart which will cancel out the Dosha 3. Examine in both the horoscopes houses 2,4,5,7 and 12Twelfth house for pleasures of the bed. 4. Dasha in both charts are important and must be analyzed. 5. Kootas should be analyzed in the end only. 6. Match house wise Dosha. If Mars is in the 7th house of a horoscope, it is important that it should be in the 7th in other horoscope also. Marriage - Destructive Nakshatras Dr. Raman in his book MuhUrata says "It is common behef that girls born under the influence of certain destructive Nakshatras bring out the death of certain relatives of husband." 1. For example girl bom in Jupiter's Nakshatra Yaishakha Libra (3) and Scorpio (1) brings destruction of husband's younger brother, so an effort is made to find a groom who has no younger brother. Even when the horoscope is good it is rejected on this ground. However, it should be noticed that only last quarter of Yaishakha is evil and not the other three Padas. 2. Birth in Moola and death of father-in-law: Boy or girl in the first quarter of Moola Nakshatra (in Sagittarius Rasi) is supposed to cause death of father-in-law. But birth in last three quarters of Moola is beneficial. 3. Birth of a girl in Ashlesha (Cancer Rasi) is supposed to cause death of mother-in-law. It should be noted that only first quarter is bad. 4. Girl bom in Jyeshta is supposed to cause death of elder brother of husband. Again only first quarter is bad.

From first column downwards find the birth Nakshatra of girl. From that point horizontally trace boy's Nakshatra. This gives you total point. MATCHING OF HOROSCOPE FOR MARRIAGE

Chapter VIII Eighth House (House of Longevity, Sudden Gains and Humiliation) The eighth house ofAyu or Mrityu deals with 1. Longevity. 2. Misfortunes. 3. Debts. 4. Sins. 5. Intrigues and scandals. 6. Enmity. 7. Death, sudden and untimely, cause of death, total destruction. 8. Difficulties, impediments, grief, unhappiness from sins committed in past births. 9. Calamities, Stealing. 10. Secret enemies. 11. As 2nd from 7th, shows earning of wife. 12. Obstacles. 13. According to sage Sattyacharya, this also deals with enemies. 14. Accusations, intrigues and scandals. 15. Interest in occult sciences. 16. Diseases of secret parts and generative system. If 8th lord aspects its own house and also 11th house it gives victory over riyals. Eighth house rules longevity or duration of marriage. Cluster of planet in 8 especially benefics give much wealth 8th forms part of Adhi Yoga. In female chart 8th house tells about her sexual activity. Afflicted Moon in sign of Saturn is not good for morals. Dasha connected with 8th lord/house brings change. "Whenever, 8th lord is stronger than Lagna and the 10th lords, native is subject to scandal or disgrace". - R Laxmanan 8th lord in different Houses The placement of 8th lord in any house excepting its own house

8th House

155

does not give good results. It is basically a lord of hindrances. Eighth lord with Markesh in any house causes death accident. In malefic houses 3, 6, 8 and 12 this could mean self created death or suicide. Even in malefic Rasis/ houses this could mean suicide. 1st House According to Parasara 8th lord in the first makes health suffer, gives wounds and makes a person detractor of gods and Brahmins. It also gives (i) poverty (ii) debt (in) bad health and (iv) displeasure ofgovt. superiors. This rule does not apply to Aries and Libra Ascendants where lord of eight and Lagna are the same. In Aries it is Mars and in Libra it is Venus. The lords of eight in these cases will not damage the house but will give good results like health of the native will be good, he will have legacies and a long life. Similarly in Pisces Ascendant, the eighth lord Venus will be exalted in the first House and the person will be rich, handsome with a commanding personality and long life. Strong eight lord in Ascendant gives long life. 2nd House He will have problems of eye, tooth. Will have no time to eat good food. According to Parasara he will be devoid of physical vigour and will possess little wealth and will not regain lost wealth. But eight lord in two will be aspecting its own house the eight and hence in that case will give inheritance, hidden wealth and long life. This position is not good for family life where the wife and children will be separated in case other factors are there. 3rd House Third is 81h from 8th i.e. in the third house it is very conducive to long life. But aspect of 8th lord on 9th may ruin the prospects of father as aspects of 8th or 6th lord carries dangerous implications. Native may have Enmity with his father, problem with brothers fears, and mental anguish. According to Parasara he will be devoid of vigour and will have no servants. 4th House Will cause problems for mother. May be he is devoid of mother or his mother does not have good health. There will be no finances and peace of mind. It will be a problem to have a house, lands or conveyances. Vehicles will be stolen or there might be accidents. Will be betrayed by friends.

156 Analysing Horoscope Through Modem Techniques Fifth House According to Parasara native will be dull witted. He will have few children and be long-lived and wealthy. Commenting on this Girish Chand Sharma in Brihat Parasara Hora Shastra says "That the native having this combination will be prompted to study history, ancient languages like Greek, Latin, or Sanskrit because the eighth house is the house of dead objects and the fifth house is the house of education. In Gemini and Virgo Ascendants, the 8th lord being placed in the 5th house will be in his sign of exaltation. In the Leo and Aquarius Ascendants, the 8th lord, being placed in the 5th house, will be in his own sign. Therefore, benefic effects will be gained in these Ascendants, in Pisces Ascendant this combination makes the native a mining engineer." 6th House In case the 8th lord is placed in the 6th house, the native will win over his opponents, will have a diseased body and in childhood he will face danger through snakes and water. The danger of snakes will be potent if Rahu is also involved, as Rahu is Karka for snakes. In modem times snakes could also mean poison or poisonous drugs. The persons who die of wrong administration of drugs have this combination. 7th House Native will have two wives and if it is in conjunction with a malefic there will certainly be loss in his trade. It is not clear as to the meaning of two wives. In modem times it is not possible to have more than one wife. Most probably this will apply after the death of first wife or after having divorced first wife. Since the 8th lord spoils the significance of 7th house it certainly means the first marriage is on the rocks. This is also a combination for separation or divorce. "In the ending of any marriage the role of 8th house or planet in the 8th is well known" - K.N. Rao 8th House Will be long lived. If the 8th lord is weak, the longevity will be medium and the native will be a thief, be blameworthy himself and will blame others as well. 9th House Native will be betrayer of his religion and a heterodox, he will be the husband of a wicked wife and will steal others wealth.

Poverty 1. 10th and 3rd lords weak. 9th lord combust or debilitated. 2. Rahu in 9 from 9 i.e. 5, and its dispositor in 8th, and 9th lord in fall. 3. Ascendant lord debilitated. Saturn in 9th from Moon. Early Death of Father Sun is significator for father for day birth, while Saturn is treated as significator for father for night birth. 1. If Sun is aspected by Mars and Saturn in case of a day birth it soon leads to death of father. This rule does not apply if there are benefic aspects. This will be more likely if houses involved are 9th or 10th. 2. The child's father and paternal grand father will die early if Sun is in the ascendant with Mars and Saturn without benefic aspect of Mercury, Jupiter and Venus - Phala Deepika. If Sun is hemmed between two malefics or is conjoined with malefics one born in day time loses his father early. This may also happens if Sun has Mars and Saturn in the 8th without benefic influence. In the case of night birth if the 8th from Saturn is occupied by Mars and Rahu or Sun it is not good for the longevity of father. Hence 8th from Sun for the day birth and 8th from Saturn for night birth should be free from malefic influences. If the Sun/Saturn is in movable Rasi the father may die from poison or weapons. He may also be away at the time of birth of child.

Chapter X Tenth House House of Karma, Honour and Fame The tenth house is Karamasthan and deals with: 1. Means of livelihood, profession. 2. Rank, authority, command. 3.

In Western astrology 1 Oh house is house of father as it is opposite to fourth, the house of mother. However, in Vedic astrology generally the 9th house is treated for father as 9th house is House of Gum and in ancient times father was Guru. Sage Parasara treats 9th house as house of father. But since 10th is second or 'Marka' for 9th sometimes father's longevity is also seen from 10th house. Lord of ten in various houses : In the 1st House, Rises high in life. Self employed or high ranking officer.

In the 8th House Breaks in career. Combination with 8th lord deteriorates profession. Benefics give high rank for short while.

Before a judgement is pronounced on the profession it becomes necessary to determine the academic background and achievements of the person concerned. For this we will study the Fifth house and its lord. Though Jatak Parijat assigns education to the 4th house and discusses the combination that give rise to great learning, but Jatak Parijat also calls 5th house as house of intelligence. Parasara, however, mentions 5th house as dealing with learning and high intelligence. In Jaimini the 2nd and the 5th house are referred to as dealing with education and learning. Uttarkalamitra and Sarvarth Chintamani give education to the 2nd house. It may be so because the second house deal with Kutumbha or early childhood, so this house deals with earlier part of education. The fourth house represents mind and its lord is Moon. If mind is not sound there is hardly any scope for receiving good education. In natural Zodiac 4th house has been assigned to Moon which is Karka for mind, hence the importance of this house for education. Modern professional courses will have to be judged from the fifth house/lord. In natural zodiac it is house of 'Purva Punya' and its lord is Sun who represents Atma, the things divine. Sun is giver of fight and Karka of success and fame. Hence importance of the 5th house and 5th lord/karka for success in day to day fife. Jupiter - is Karka for 9th house, wisdom and religion. For judgement of high academic achievements the important planets are Sun, Mercury. Jupiter and Moon. Saturn becomes necessary for giving perseverance and ability for hard work.

187 How to Study Profession from the horoscope (Based on article published in Journal of Astrology April June 2000 by K.N. Rao) The profession is judged by locating the key planet which is either; i. Tenth house, lord of tenth house, planets in the 10th house, aspects of planets on the 1 Oth house. Tenth house should be seen from Lagna, Moon and Sun, whichever is the strongest. Bhatotpala and Gargi are of the opinion that tenth house from Lagna and Moon both should be studied as a person may have income from various sources and not merely from the stronger of the two. ii. Lord of Navamsa of the 1 Oth lord, again from Lagna. Moon and Sun whichever is the strongest. hi. Planets influencing Lagna, lord of Lagna. iv. Planets involved in making Yogas with Moon and Sun like Sunapha, Anapha, Vasi, Vesi etc. They will tell us the source of income. In addition notice should be taken of following. 1. Second and eleventh houses show nature and quantum of income The planets placed here indicate nature of wealth earned. 2. Fifth house to study the pattern of education and the intelligence of the person concerned. Fourth house is also important: pleasure derived from the profession. Rahu and Ketu axis in the 4th sometimes show profession in engineering. Fourth is also seen for education. 3. Dashas and Antra Dashas prevailing give us a clue. 4. Study of Yogas: Yogas are also important. Important Yogas will give clue lo nature of profession. Saraswati Yoga will make a person inclined to fine arts. Presence ofLakshmi Yoga and strong eleventh house will make one involved in business. 'Nabhas' Yogas also give a indication to the nature of profession. 5. In prediction special significance is attached to Uppachaya houses, 3. 6, 10 and 11. Planets in them assume special power. That is why benefics in 3, 6, 10 and 11 give birth to 'Vasumati Yoga', which gives plenty of wealth. For the people who are in service the 6th house gets additional

188


importance as it is 9th to 10th and 10th to 9th house. Use of Jamini Astrology in determining profession and extent of rise. Here Uppada and Karkamsa Lagna are important. 7. In addition to Rasi chart use will be made of Vargas especially Navamsa and Dasamsa. Navamsa should be read for all type of predictions and Dasamsa especially for profession. Sources of Income and Profession: According to Varahamihira, see (10th from Lagna, Moon and Sun) and find out which is strongest of the three. This would show profession. This also applies to lord of the Navamsa of 10th lord if there is no planet in the 10th. Out of the three, Lagna, Moon, or Sun the planet whoever is strongest will suggest the profession. If it is: Sun Basic (a) Gold (b) Jewellery (c) Medicines (d) Holy work of initiation of Mantras (e) Wool (1) Grain (g) Juices It also mean father, denoting inheritance, government service, doctors, scents, ambassador, law suits, ruby, metal works. Trees, timber, forest, fire, firearms. If Sun is exalted money is earned by self-acquisition. Banking auditing and stock exchange. State Services, administration and management. Persons in authority. A strong Sun in the 10th house, aspected by benefics raises a person to great social, political and economic heights by his own effort. A weak Sun aspected by malefrcs leads to many obstacles and frustrations in life. Connection of Sun with Saturn is not a good combination, and causes difficulties in career especially if Sun is within 7° of Saturn. Good aspect of Saturn makes one a high government officer. Sun in Scorpio may make one a famous doctor. Sun-Moon - Political Science, psychology, metaphysics. Sun-Mars: Politician, diplomatist, army, government servant, iron steel industries, sugar refining, agriculture, jute mills. Affliction with Mars causes friction with employer, but a well-placed Mars confers high rank. May be holding post of a Minister or a judge. Represents success in administrative career, administrative ability, and distinction. 6.

Examples ; Taken from the article "About Professions" by K.N. Rao pubbshed in Journal of Astrology April June-2000. Strongest from Lagna Moon and Sun. 1. From the strongest of this see who is the 1 Oth lord and see who is Navamsa lord of that tenth lord. 2. Now apply the same classification to the Navamsa lord of the 10th lord from among the strongest tenth lord from Lagna, Sun and Moon. The best way of deciding the strongest of the three lords is from the use of Graha Bala assessment. Sometimes the assessment may be confusing. In such cases help should be taken from the method used by Jaimini. Here Atma Karka, Amatya Karka and Karkamsa Lagna become the focal points. This method is being explained separately.

Timing Promotion or Confirmation in Service These are important principles taught by K.N. Rao and taken from his book 'Ups and Down in Career". Laws: 1. In every horoscope analyze the Yogas first. In case of pronouncing judgement on promotion or elevation in status first see how many Raj Yogas are there in the horoscope. According to K.N. Rao these Raj Yogas are nearly 25. The more such Yogas are present in the horoscope the greater is the rise. If majority out of these are present, the person rises to dizzy heights. 2. When some of these are present, combinations are capable of bestowing glory and enhance the status of the person. Double Transit : When the above two conditions, i.e. the presence of Yogas and operation of favourable Dasha, Antardasha are operative double transit phenomenon should be brought into consideration. This double

200 Analysing Horoscope Through Modem Techniques - transit phenomenon is a favourable transit of Saturn and Jupiter as follows. (a) Jupiter: In transit, Jupiter should be aspecting the Moon or the 10th house hum Moon or the Lagna. The transit of Jupiter in a trine from Lagna or the Moon is also a favourable position but importance should be given to Jupiter in the 10th from Moon or from Lagna or the Jupiter's aspect on the 10th house from the Moon or the Lagna. (b) Saturn: Saturn should be aspecting the 10th lord whenever anything important is to happen. Saturn's aspect on the 10th lord should be treated as only a part fulfillment of the promise.

Jupiter: At the time of her elevation, Jupiter was in the 1 Oth from her Lagna and Moon. Saturn: Saturn from Scorpio was aspecting her 10th lord Jupiter in Taurus. Gain and Loss of Power According to Varahamihira. "The person gets the royal power in the Antardasha of the most powerful planet who combines in the 1 Oth or of the 1st. He loses that power in the Antardasha of the planet who is unfriendly or Neecha house because such period is called Chidra Dasha. Then he must seek protection from a powerful king." Varahamihira Take a planet in the first or 10 and whichever is the stronger predict acquisition of power during that Antardasha. If there are no planets in the first or the tenth find out which of the lord is strongest and ascribe the power to him during his Antardasha. Such kingly power or office will be lost when the Antardasha of a planet, which occupies an unfriendly or debilitated Rasi, intervenes. This is called Chidra Dasha, which means accident or misfortune

202


as well as hole, and therefore he gets into unfortunate position by losing his power. Obstruction in Career 1. If Kalasarpa or Kemadruma Yoga has anything to do with 10, 9, or 6 or their lords there is obstruction in career. 2. Combination or mutual exchange of Mars and Saturn, Sun and Saturn, lords of 12 or 10, 8 and 10 create obstmctions. 3. Afflicted lords of 6,9 and 10 or when they are in 'Papkartari' Yogas. Transfers In natal or horary astrology houses 1,4,7 and 10, the four Kendras are involved in transfers. Ascendant is personality, 4th his welfare and affliction to 10th house is transfer. Chatturthamsa should always be considered. (Greater auspicious results occur in the major period of 3rd lord than in 10th lord if both are related- Bhavarth Ratnakar - see horoscope of Narsimha Rao) Three Dashas are considered important, of (i) 10th lord, ii) Lagna lord, iii) exalted planet. According to Parasara following results are expected in the Dasha of 10th lord. Dasha of the Strong 10th lord If lord of the 10 is exalted in an angle or a trine and be in the company of Jupiter, one will be endowed with worthy deeds. According to Parasara if 1 Oth lord is without strength one will face obstruction in work. One will gain in royal patronage and in business if 10th lord is in conjunction with benefic planets. Opposite results will happen in reverse situation. Adverse Combinations i) Weak 10th lord - "If the 10th lord is in the 8th along with Rahu, the native will hate others, be a great fool and will do bad deeds." Parasara ii) Malefics in 10th - If the 10th and 11th are occupied by malefics one will indulge in bad deeds and will defile his own men. Lords of 10 and 3, combination-deprived of fortune in Dasha of 10

lord but will enjoy fortune in Dasha of 3rd lord. - Bhavarth Ratnakar. "When the 10th Bhava is inauspicious person will be void of honour or pride". Jatak Parijat. Dasha Scheme; Dasha scheme is the unfolding of our Karmas. What is happening to us is nothing else but as depicted in the Dasha scheme. If one gets good Dashas of benefic planets or of good lordship like 5 or 9 or 10 early in life one is bound to have good education. Dashas of lord of 6, 8 and 12 will disrupt education. For finding education related professions concentrate on 5th house, its lord, Karka and Dasha scheme. This will give very good results in determining profession. If lords of Mahadasha, Antar and Patyantra Dasha are linked with 5th house, the education is bound to be good. The planets Mars, Saturn, Rahu and Ketu give technical oriented education. Fame Giving Combinations Strong 10th Lord and benefics in the 10th Planets in the 10th house have a great say in giving success and imparting a moral tinge as also give one rank and status. According to Parasara if 11th lord is in the 10th and the 10th lord is strong and there is aspect of Jupiter one gets fame. Other combination for fame according to Parasara is 10th lord in 9th, Lagna lord in 10th and Moon in the 5th house. According to Phala Deepika if a benefic planet is placed in the 10th house or if the lord of the 1 Oth house is placed in Kendra Trikona, in its own sign or sign of exaltation, or when lord of Lagna is posited in the 10th house one becomes very famous. He is also engaged in meritorious deeds. He is fortunate like a king and has long lease of life. Combinations for Performance of Meritorious Deeds 1. If four planets are placed in 10th house including lord of ten this gives birth to Sanyas Yoga. 2. Many benefic planets in tenth house, Jupiter and Mercury in 10th house one perform meritorious deeds. 3. Moon in 10th house and lord of ten strong one takes dips in holy Ganges 4. If Rahu or Sun are in the 10th one bathes in Ganges.

Saturn, Rahu, Mars in 10 produces criminals, anti social, pickpockets, rapists, murderers, dacoits. Profession - Doctors The profession of medicine and curing people of diseases is considered to be noble profession. 'Vedo Narayano Hah' (doctor is god) According to Puranas God was bom as Dhanvantari during the churning of the Milky Ocean, holding pot Ml of nectar to cure humanity. Charak and Sushruta were other names in the field of curative medicines or of medicines treating body Kava (body) and Vajikarna (rejuvenation). Emphasis on social service to humanity has changed these days to that of financial gains. From pure caring and looking to root cause of diseases the emphasis today is super specialisation and most expensive laboratory tests. The young and intelligent are now thinking of this profession for financial gain and status symbol rather than humility and social service. The change in emphasis would also mean change in planetary influences, so while basic combination in classical books relating to drugs might be the same the mental inclination as given in classical books may shift from role of Jupiter

Analysing Horoscope Through Modern Techniques Profession - Business

Business means money earned through own efforts via trade. A person will do business only if he has or is able to earn much profit. For which education is not so much important as business sense. 1. So the businessmen will normally have plenty of Dhana Yogas and their 11th house would be strong. The 7th house is traditionally known as house of business and so is Tula Rasi. Tenth house will be involved in any case as it deals with occupation. A strong 10th house gives the ability to pursue right profession at the right time and make a success of it. The houses 2 and four are for accumulation of wealth. Their combination with 5th and 11 houses are good for wealth. If 5th and 12 houses are weak and so are Mercury and Sun there is tendency to accumulate money through illegal means. A weak Mars and a weak Saturn strengthen this tendency. This could be neutralized by a strong Jupiter. For the persons who make big empires in business and create new industries all the three Lagnas. Ascendant. Sun and Moon are very strong. These are the people who make new industries and roll in millions. The weak Lagna and weak Chandra Lagna are major handicaps for a person who wants to set up his own business. A weak Sun or Surya Lagna means lack of energy, poor stamina and vitality. It also means lack of initiative and gives a habit of dependence on others. They can't take vital decisions in life and avoid responsibilities. If one of the Lagnas is weak it should be compensated by the strength of the other. 2. Businessmen must have plenty of enterprise, for this a strong Mars is necessary. 3. Businessmen must be lucky also. They need a strong 9th house. 4. Mercury is traditionally the planet of commerce. This should be strong. Venus has a role too, as it is also Goddess of wealth. 5. A strong Jupiter is necessary for luck and a strong Saturn for perseverance and ability to do hard work. For persons who deal in jewellery combination of Venus Moon is necessary as it represents Jewellery. (Mercury Moon conjunction,

opposition or placement in 2/8 houses involves losses.) Rahu Mercury in 10th house represent sudden gains as also sudden losses. Combinations given in Classical Texts 1. According to Phala Dccpika "Moon in Libra aspected by Venus makes one a trader. 2. According to Hora Sara Moon in Libra makes the native clever in business. 3. Again Moon in Virgo gives success in business. 4. According to Jatak Tatwa Moon and Mars together promote business. 5. The 10th lord in a Kendra, Trikona or in 11 house and aspected by benefics make the native a merchant trader. 6. Maharishi Parasara has described Mercury and Moon belonging to Vaishya caste meaning those who deal with trade and agriculture. Mercury is significator for trade and Moon for agriculture. The planets Venus and Mercury belong to "Rajo Guna" meaning attached to worldly enjoyments. They represent desire longing and attachment. Thus Mercury and Venus give desire for earning money and enjoying so called good things of life including sexual attachments. 7. According to Parasara Saturn belongs to "Shudra" class or meaning service in modem times. Its aspect on 1 Oth or 10th, lord is not good for starting one's own venture unless Saturn is strong. 8. In classical books 'Dhana Yogas' have been defined. These have been given in a separate chapter on judgement of financial prosperity 9. If there are five or more planets in the visible half, houses 7 to 12 and 10th house and 10th lord is not aspected by Saturn normally one is self independent in business. Same results occur if five or more planets are in 10, 11,12, 12 and 3rd houses from Lagna. More than five planets in this position show the person has capability to pursue an independent vocation. 10. There should be good Raj Yogas of Kendras and Trikonas combinations, which add strength to the horoscope.

Atma Karka Sun as natural Atmakarka Parasara: Out of all the Karkas Atmakarka is the most important and has the prime say on the native just as the king is the most famous among the men of his country and is the head of all affairs and is entitled to arrest and release men. Just as the Minister cannot go against the king, the other Karkas cannot predominate in the affairs of the native. If the Atma Karka is adverse, other Karkas cannot give their benefic effects. Similarly if Atma Karka is favourable, other Karkas cannot predominate with their malefic influences. Observations: Jaimini Atmakarka Sun the natural Karka for soul is normally very strong in the horoscopes of the blessed ones. Atma Karka is the most powerful planet. It is like the Sun around which other planets revolve. If the Atmakarka is in exaltation or benefic Rasi or conjunction, though the person is in prison he may be liberated, will five in holy places and will get Moksha.

of knowledge, Vedic literature Raman Maharishi Horoscope Aurobindo Ghosh. 9th from Karkamsa benefics gives truth as in ideal. (Horoscope of Raman Maharishi). Karkamsa with Ketu has the aspect of Saturn, Tapaswi or recluse. Horoscope of Aurobindo Ghosh. Only Saturn and no other aspect makes one imposter. Atmakarka and Ketu in Navamsa aspect of Venus Deekshta or performer of Yajnas. (Horoscope of Kanchi Parmacharya). If there is benefic in the 12th while its lord is exalted or is conjunct or aspected by benefics, one will attain final emancipation. Parasara: If the fifth lord is in the 9th, native will be prince or equal to prince, will author treatises, be famous and shine in his race. Placement of 5th lord in 9th is good for authors. Vairagya 'Vairagya' should be the base on which the whole edifice of spiritualism stands. Mahatma Budha would have become a great king Chakarvartin - king of kings if Vairagya was not in the horoscope. According to Adi Shankar Acharya state of Smadhi is easy for those who have intense Vairagya. Smadhi comes easily to the people who can control their mind. From Samadhi comes true Knowledge, from true knowledge one gets liberation and from liberation one gets bliss. Vairagya is result of Saturn, Rahu, on mind or the 4th house and Moon (Karka for mind.) In hundred per cent of the cases Moon had the aspect of Saturn, Mars or Rahu or in Rasis of Mars aspected by Saturn or vice versa. See this in drekkan as also in Navamsa. Role of Moon Moon occupying the drekkan of Mars and receiving aspect of Saturn is combination for renunciation. Moon, Ketu, Saturn, Jupiter, form a powerful combination for a Mahatma. If this combines with Atmakarka Sun, it gives knowledge of the Self attained through Bhakti. Chaitanya Mahaprabhu - (Radha Krishan Bhakti) In horoscope of Chaitanya. Moon the 12th lord (Sanyas) of the horoscope and Karka for mind, is with Ketu, aspected by Saturn and Mars - Mind in trouble and searching. Jupiter also aspects the combination - devotion and Bhakti. Ketu - Jupiter is also spiritual combination. II Speaker of Truth - A good second house/lord, HI Separation from Home

In houses 5, 9, 12 from Lagna or Moon 1) Dispositors of Rahu and Ketu should not be related for spiritual uplift. 2) Ketu in the 5th and 9th kindles the power of mind. It should not be afflicted and its dispositor should be well placed. 3) Ketu gives best results for spiritual upliftment with lord of Lagna. 9, or 5, and Jupiter aspect or placement or if these lords are in Trikona from Ketu. In that case it gives spiritual yearning in 8th and 12th also. 4) Ketu Moon Jupiter triangle is excellent. 5) Ketu's association with Atma Karka or Sun or its trinal position with respect to these planets is excellent. Examples: Ketu in the 5th Adi Shankar Acharya, Ramanuj Acharya, Aurobindo Ghosh. Ketu in the 9th Vallabh Acharya Aspect of Jupiter on Ketu: Swami Moorkanandji, Raman Maharishis, Kanchi Paramacharya, Swami Prabhupad. Yogas A malefic planet in the 7th and some planet in 8th. - Parasara Similar verse a malefic in 7th - ascetic answering planet in the 9th. Ketu in the 12th should be with 5th, 9th lords or Jupiter.

Analysing Horoscope Through Modern Techniques Men/Women with a Mission in Life

(Taken from an article by K.N. Rao published in Journal of Astrology October - December 1998). Whether a person is with a Mission or not can be proved by applying following tests. A good Second House The second house is the house Niyam or the house of ethical conduct. Malefics in it show either no mission or deceit in the guise and the pretensions of a Mission. "If the second lord is conjunct with malefics and if the second house has malefics, such a person indulges in backbiting, is a har, and becomes a patient of Vaat Roga." Parasara A good tenth House Parasara says again "If there are malefics in the 10th and 11th houses the person indulges in lowly deeds and becomes hostile even to his kith and kin." If the 10th lord is debilitated or if there is malefic in the 10th house and there is malefic in the 10th from 10th or 7th house, one performs lowly deeds. After applying these tests, examine the following 1. There should be benefics or benefic influences on the 2nd house. This will include the association of Yoga Karka planet for a particular Lagna and the 2nd house. 2. Connection of Jupiter or benefics with the 1 Oth house/lord. 3. Connection of Jupiter or benefics with the 10th house or the 10th lord from Moon. 4. Connection of Jupiter or benefics with the 10th house or 1 Oth lord from the 10th lord of birth horoscope. 5. Connection of Jupiter and benefics with 1 Oth to 10th house/ lord. Remember: If the 10th lord from Lagna is debilitated and / or the 2nd house has malefics the suffering of the person resulting from evil Karma will be endless.

In some cases Dasha Antar Dasha of 5th lord or planets placed in 5* house as 5lh house is 8th from the 10"'. 3. Dasha Sandhi or Dasha Chidra can show a change in career whether for good or bad depending upon the planets concerned. 4. Transits of planets particularly Saturn or Rahu in the 5th or the 10* house from Moon or Lagna. Transit of Saturn in the 10th house in case of politicians gives a fall. In other cases it may bring about a crisis in career. 5. Saturn - Venus or Venus Rahu period must be carefully scrutinized. 6. Dasha, Antar Dasha of afflicted or debilitated lords. 7. Dasha of a retrograde planet or a planet aspected by retrograde planet can cause upsets in career. 8. Saturn's aspect or transit over natal Sun can both be good or bad. 9.

11th House a)

If 11 th has more benefic points than 10, rise in life is great. Greater the difference greater is the rise. If the difference is more than 4 or 5 Bindus are more, the person is extremely lucky in life. In the horoscope of Pt. Nehru, the 10th has 26 points and 11thhas 35, a difference of 9 Bindus - it means the Dame luck would always be kind to him. b) If the 10th house is strong (28 or more Bindus), but II is weak, at some stage there has been a stagnation in career. c) A very weak 10th house should not be interpreted as bad if 11 is strong enough as it is capable of lifting the native. Variation Saturn is the significator for profession, and is the planet of masses, public adoration, mass hysteria, and elections. Apply all these rules to 10th and 11th from Saturn also. In case of politicians and bureaucrats who have a godfather this is a must. In case of those who have powerful relations placed as administrators etc. the 10th and 11th from Sun should also be seen.

Chapter XII Twelfth House House of Loss, Expenditure, Foreign Travel and Mysticism The twelfth house is the last house of the Zodiac and is known as the house of loss. It is also House of destruction, expenditure and downfall. According to Phala Deepika, if lord of 12 is placed in any house, its signification suffers. Similarly, if lord of any house is placed in twelfth, the things represented by this house undergo a loss. For example if lord of four is in twelve it could mean loss of property (though in some cases it could also mean residence abroad). Similarly lord of seven in twelve would cause delay or problems in marriage. In Vedic Astrology the 12th house to every house is its house of loss. For example the 12th from 9th house is 8th and hence it's house of loss to the ninth house or house of loss to house of fortune. ('Bhagya') The twelfth house also represents Meena Rasi or sign Pisces in the natural Zodiac. The owner of this sign is Jupiter, the Preceptor of Gods. Venus gets exalted here in the form of Love of Divine and Heavenly bliss. The Mercury is debilitated here. This sign is also a mystical sign, the sign of spiritualism. The placement of Jupiter in Navamsa in Pisces leads to Moksha. Jaimini astrology also assigns great significance to this Rasi as placement of Jupiter here as Karkamsa Lagna or to the placement of a benefic in the 12th from it leads to 'final bliss.' The twelfth house represents 1. Maturity of mystical. 2. Losses and theft. According to K.N. Rao lords of 6,8, 12 cause loss of prestige and money if lords of 2,11 and 12 are also afflicted. 3. Extravagance 4. Expenditure. Since this house is primarily a house of expenditure, if 12 lord is placed in benefic Vargas money is spent in honourable way. With malefics the expenditure is on vices like wine, women, illegal gratification, gambling etc. With benefic aspects father takes good care of wants of the native 5. Confiscation, embezzlement. Association of 12 lords with malefics causes a tendency to cheat, embezzle and misappropriate money.

12th House

6. Sayan Sukh (pleasures of bed). 7. Hospitals. 8. Jails. 9. Left eye, feet. 10. Residence in foreign countries. 11. Final emancipation or Moksha. 12. Downfall. 13. In female horoscope twelfth house is indicator of character and sensual outlook. This house has its positive aspect also, besides granting emancipation and residence abroad, Jatak Parijat says that if lord of 12 is strong, the native has his own wealth (self-acquired), lives long and is happy. Benefic Aspects / associations:- Benefic aspects on the 12th house means residence abroad, good fortune, and dehghtful journey. Aspects/ association of benefics shows religious fervor, devotion, piety charity and dedicated life. According to K.N. Rao Mahatmas are inclined to leave their bodies in the sub periods or sub sub periods of 9th or 12 lords' Malefic aspect, and Pap Kartari Yoga, leaves country for fear of government, vagrant life and denies pleasures of bed. In the Dasha of lord of twelve one experiences debts, expenses, and unhealthy and wicked company. If 12th lord is weak and is aspected by 6th lord, money is spent on litigation relating to property, misappropriation etc. Mars and Saturn in Lagna 12, or second house is a combination for accidents. Planets in 12th House Sun: According to Maharishi Parasara Sun in the 12th for Libra Ascendant makes a person live for hundred years, meaning it gives him a long life. Generally if the Sun is in the 12th there will either be no conception Vandayaa or if other influences predominate birth of first child will be in the middle ages. Afflicted Sun Afflicted Sun - Weak eyesight, not good for spiritual progress, immoral life, not successful in life, health suffers. According to Jatak Bhamam relations with father suffer.

This is also the opinion of Phala Dccpika. Gives foreign travel, gets trouble from government, is failure in politics. May be imprisoned. According to Mansagri, the person is idiot, has sex with many women, is ugly and has a weak constitution. Clandestine love affairs. Trouble due to opposite sex. If afflicted lives away - scandal or ill health. Moon Afflicted Moon - narrow-minded, does not care for feehngs of others, weak body, eyesight weak. According to Jatak Bhamam, gives large number of enemies, weak eyesight. The person is emotional, has foreign travels. In fiery signs is lean, angry, jealous and rash. 12th house, movable sign with Moon in it means travel abroad. Strong Moon and Venus in 4, 5 or 7, has weakness for other sex. Mars Selfish, hateful, loss of wife, fiery, disease. According to Jatak Bharnam, it gives diseases of eye operation if afflicted, excessive expenditure, Enmity with friends, imprisonment, angry in disposition. Fear from thieves; Desire to deprive others of their wealth. Mercury According to Jatak Bhamam the native is clever but deceitful, cunning and is of impure heart. It also gives foreign travel. 12th house, movable sign with Mercury in it involves lot of travel. Loss of money, sinful deeds. Jupiter Not religious. Sexually inclined, later in life spiritual. Jupiter in 12 is not good for children, but good for Moksha. According to Jatak Bharnam, person is full of anger; his feehngs are confused, is devoid of intelligence. If Jupiter is not well placed in the twelfth house it brings out the negative qualities of Jupiter, of extravagance, of wasting money, bragging, bad eating and drinking habits, is idle and jealous. Is fond of travelling. If Jupiter is in its own house or exalted in the 12th house it is good for spirituality and attainment of highest form of bliss. See the horoscope of Swami Moorkhanandji.

Leo Lagna: lord of twelve Moon is in Lagna aspected by Saturn and Mars. Though this is a combination for Sanyas also, the health of the native suffers. In the words of K.N.

Twelfth lord in the first makes one handsome, sweet tongued, gives weak constitution, makes one feeble minded. In movable and dual Rasis it gives travel abroad. Sixth lord and 12th lord in Lagna give long life provided 8th house is not afflicted. It is also a combination for jail and living abroad. Exchange of Lagna lord and 12th lord is not good. Person is disliked by people. He is miser with no intelligence. 12th lord in I and Kendra Trikona having malefics only one leads a poor and dull fife. 12th lord in Second.

Combinations for Travel Abroad This has been dealt in detail in my book "Planets and Travel Abroad". Following is a gist of combinations for travel abroad. Houses Involved First House According to sage Satyachari if lord of the first house is in 7th and associated with a benefic, the native would live in a foreign country and die there. Third House Third house represents short journeys. Ninth lord in the third means travel abroad for pilgrimage. This combination is common in Muslim pilgrims who travel on "haj" abroad. Fourth House Fourth house is the house of residence. Affliction to this house takes a person abroad for settlement. Seventh House This house also deals with residence abroad. Lord of nine in the 7th house means seeking fortune abroad. Eighth House This normally involves journey by sea in connection with sickness. Travel by sea has been replaced by air travel. Ninth House Ninth house signifies long journey. 9th lord in 9th with Rahu makes ones father famous in foreign country. Ninth lord in the 12th means living in Guru's Ashram abroad. Twelfth House Twelfth house has been given a major role for residence in a foreign

If it is posited with an exalted planet or in a friendly house or is aspected by a planet that is friendly or in exaltation or when that Rasi is occupied by friendly planets - person will stay in his place ofbirth. If lord of 12th from position of lord of Lagna is enemy, debilitated or weak, the person goes to a foreign country. He will stay abroad permanently, if Venus as friend is there or aspects the place. If Sun is there it will be a small town. If the planet is strong, it will be a prosperous place. Jatak Parijat Lord of 12 from the position of Lagna lord is in Kendra or Trikona from Lagna, person stays in place pleasing to his heart. If Jupiter, Moon or Venus aspect this place he goes to a beautiful place. If this is in 2nd from lord of Lagna and is unfriendly, person stay in his own land. Jatak Parijat Settlement Abroad — Snap Shot Prediction The inhibition Hindus had in earlier decades about going to foreign countries after crossing the "seven seas" has vanished. A common question being asked of astrologers these days relates to settlement abroad. A snap shot method for giving quick predictions is given below with illustrations. However, like other snap shot methods, it has its limitations. This rule has, however, been widely tested and generally found to be accurate. The parameters are 1. Fourth house/lord, its affliction from the Lagna. 2. The role of Rahu/Ketu and its connection with the 4th house and/or the 4th lord. 3. It has been observed that whenever fourth house/lord is afflicted or fourth lord is ill placed (6,8 & 12) in a horoscope, person leaves his native place to settle abroad. 4. If some how or the other, Rahu/Ketu are also involved then residence abroad becomes almost a certainty.

Chapter XIV Transit Result of Transit of Planets with special reference to Ashtak Varga It should be remembered that results of transit cannot take precedence over those promised in the birth chart. The birth horoscope is the main important chart containing the Dasha scheme binding us all in the grand design of Karma. The whole scheme of destiny is nothing else but the unfolding of Karmas. The good or bad events that occur in our life are the fruits of our Karmas. For example if children are not promised in the horoscope then, howsoever results may be good in transit (Jupiter and Saturn's' aspect on 1/5 axis), birth of children must not be predicted. In fact transits should be given secondary importance to main events promised in Dasha scheme. While primary importance is given to transit of planets from Moon, the transit should also be considered from Lagna. However, all the great ancient Acharyas emphasize that transits should be considered from Moon only. In judging the results of transit following factors should be considered. I — Transit of planets in good and bad houses In considering whether a transit is good or bad, the position of planets from Moon at the time of birth is taken into consideration in Vedic Astrology. Mantreswar states in the book Phala Deepika, that among all the Lagnas the Moon's Lagna is the most important for assessing the effects of transits. The sign where Moon is posited at birth is important, and is called the radical sign of Moon, which is also known as Chandra Lagna, or sometime as Rasi. Good Position for transit of plartets with respect to radical Moon. Sun: gives good results while transiting 3,6,10 and 11 positions from radical Moon. In other houses it gives malefic results. Mars: gives good results while transiting in 3,6, and 11. In other houses it is bad. Saturn: Also gives good results while transiting 3,6 and 11 houses from radical Moon while it is bad in other houses.

Transit

293

It will thus be observed that malefics Sun, Mars and Saturn give benefic results while transiting 3,6 and 11 from radical Moon. In addition Sun is good in 10 also as it gets directional strength there. Moon is also good in 3, 6 and 11 from her radical position as also in 7 and 10th Benefics Mercury, Jupiter and Venus are good in 2 and 11 also. Mercury is good in 4,6, and 8 and 10. (as also 2 and 11)Jupiter is good in 5,7 and 9 in addition to 2 and 11. Venus is good in all houses except 6, 7 and 10. Rahu and Ketu: Rahu in transit acts like Saturn except in 10th from radical Moon where it gives great gains. Ketu gives results like Mars. They are good in 3,6, 10 and 11 from Moon. II— Good and had results of Planets Sun Good results with strong Bindus — In addition to results due to lordship of a particular house, Sun gives cheerful mood, victory over enemies, high status, health and wealth. Bad Results: weak Bindus — Loss of wealth (houses 2, and 12), diseases due to affliction of Sun (blood pressure, heart disease, chest ache, eye disease, stomach ache (houses 1, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9 and 12), obstacles, aimless travelling separation from family, displeasure from government). Moon Results of Good Moon: strong Bindus — wealth, good food, bed room comforts, clothing, friendship, association with opposite sex, joy, happiness, prosperity and good health. Evil results of had transit of Moon: weak Bindus — fear, troubles of all sorts, loss of wealth and health, disturbance of peace of mind, domestic unhappiness, laziness and jealousy - diseases of Moon, lungs, asthma, cholera, diarrhea, lunacy, digestive disorders, jaundice, impurity of blood etc. Mars Good transit with strong Bindus — Authority, success over enemies, victory, lands, wealth, enjoyments. Bad transits with weak Bindus — Quarrels, exchange of hot

Mercury Good transits with strong Bindus — wealth, prosperity, honour, good character, happiness, and friendship with good people. Bad transits - weak Bindus — Loss of wealth, wicked speech, dishonour, grief, loss of position, dull intellect, disease of Mercury nervous disorders, brain, skin, anemia. Jupiter Good transit with strong Bindus — Wealth, prosperity, children, royal favour, association with noble persons, domestic happiness, knowledge, lands, houses marriage, promotion. Bad transits, weak Bindus — loss of wealth, disgrace, expenditure, loss of position, change of place, domestic unhappiness, death, imprisonment, disease, accidents (8th house) separation. Disease of Jupiter liver, cancer, jaundice, diabetes. Venus Good transit many Bindus — Luxury, perfumes, dress, enjoyments, marriage, children, wealth, prosperity, domestic happiness, pleasure trips, fame, land, houses Bad transits weak Bindus — debt, disgrace, litigation, losses, evils from women, ill health of wife. Saturn Good transit strong Bindus —Wealth, servants, land, pleasures, victory, permanent job, leader of masses, married happiness, honours. Bad-transit: low Bindus—111 health, death, fire, enemies, journey to distant places, separation from relatives, miseries, loss of wealth, obstructions, delay, imprisonment calamities, grief. Windy and phlegmatic diseases, rheumatism, dyspepsia, deformity, chronic diseases. Ill—Points of Obstruction or Vedha When a planet transits through a sign whether favourable or not, if there is another planet moving at vedha point the effects of transit will not be felt. Following are the benefic and Vedha points of each planet.

Transit

Suppose Sun is transiting over the third house, it is bound to give good results, but if a planet is simultaneously also transiting the 9th house no good results would be produced. Conversely if a planet is transiting over 9th house, and simultaneously another planet is transiting on the third house, the evil results will not be felt.

Similarly there is no vedha between Moon and Mercury, as Moon is father of Mercury. IV —A planet when transiting in a Rasi with more than 30 Bindus gives excellent results. Similarly, a planet transiting in a Rasi which in its own Bhinashtak Varga has more than 4 Bindus gives auspicious results. V — A planet while transiting a Rasi of its exaltation or in its own house behaves well, whereas while transiting in its Rasi of debilitation is destructive. Saturn entered its Rasi of debilitation on 17 April 1998. The results had been disastrous on a global scale. Fires, floods earthquake wreaked havoc all around. Economies of South East Asia tumbled. Floods submerged the whole country of Bangladesh. NATO bombarded Yugoslavia on an unprecedented scale. The exodus of refugees from Kosova reminded one of barbaric Middle Ages of murder, arson and loot. In India the stability

There were other causes also - the entry of Venus, Lagna lord of horoscope of independent India, in Taurus/Gemini and its affliction which has been discussed in detail in my article in Journal of Astrology. In the sign Mithun, in the Bhinashtak of Moon representing mind, in the independent horoscope of India, there is no Bindu. VI — Sade Sati 'Sade Sati', is a Hindi word meaning seven and a half. In astrological term it means a seven and half year period of transit of Saturn in the 12th, 1st and second place from the location of Moon in the birth horoscope. Since normally Saturn stays in a Rasi for two and a half years, this covers a total period of 7-1/2 years. Let us illustrate with an example:- In J.L. Nehru, horoscope Moon is located in Cancer, his period of Sade Sati would start when transiting Saturn enters Gemini, which is the 12th house from Cancer. Here it stays for 2-1/2 years, it then moves over to Cancer the 1st house from Moon and latter on after again 2-1/2 years sojourn in Cancer goes to Leo. This 7-1/2 year would end when Saturn completes its stay in Leo. Saturn stays in Gemini, Cancer, and Leo for a total stay of 7-1/2 years in the three crucial Rasis 12th, 1st and 2nd from Nehru Chandra Lagna. This is the period known as Sade Sati. Mr. Katwe's definition A Maharashtrian astrologer late Shri Katwe states that when Saturn is within 45 degrees from natal Moon, Sade Sati would begin and would end when it moves again 45 degrees away from Moon. There is some substance in this theory, as suppose Moon is located in Aries at 27 degrees, then would the period of Sade Sati start when Saturn enters Pisces, the 12th sign from Aries, or would it be more appropriate for it to start when it reaches 12 degrees Pisces or 45 degrees before Moon? According to Katwe period of Sade Sad starts at the time Saturn enters at 12 degree Pisces and ends when Saturn completes 12 degree Gemini and not when it enters Gemini.

Moon. There is no mention of word Sade Sati in classical books of Astrology yet the very mention of this word sends jitters through the spines of millions of naive people. It is said to cause "Chattar Bhang" (loss of protectors). It is a common superstition that during the first round of Sade Sati of Saturn: i) People lose their grandparents. ii) In the second round they lose their parents and hi) In the third round, if they are lucky to live this long they often lose their own Lives. While there is no mention of word Sade Sati in any of the classical books yet mention has been made of ill effects of Saturn during transit through 12, 1 and 2nd houses of Moon. Let us see what these books have to say about this transit. Practically all the books agree that transit of Saturn in all the houses except 3, 6 and 11 from Moon cause evil. Saturn is a malefic planet and is Karka for limitation, hindrance, delay, death, murder, rape, sexual perversion, separation, pain and agony. It causes loss of money, theft and poverty. It makes one dull, morose and gloomy. Result of transit of Saturn on the 12th house from Moon Mantreswar in Phala Deepika states that Saturn in transit from 12th house to Moon does not give any gain in business, causes loss of wealth through enemies and sickness to wife and son. Similarly other results are 1st from Moon — 'diseases and performance of funeral rites' 2nd from Moon — Loss of wealth and children. Is Period of Sade Sati dreadful? According to traditional astrologers, besides 'Ashtam' Shanithis is the most dreadful period; instances are cited; i) Mahatma Gandhi was assassinated on 30th January 1948, during his period of Sade Sati ii) Indira Gandhi lost her mother in her first Sade Sati and her husband and father in her second Sade Sati. She also became a Minister in the cabinet of Lai Bahadur Shastri during same period.

As against this i) J L Nehru has his Moon in Cancer. In 1947 when he became the first Prime Minister of India, The Saturn was transiting in Cancer. ii) Shrimati Indira Gandhi became Prime Minister in January 1966, when she was running her Sade Sati. iii) Moraqi Desai's Sade Sati proved very lucky for him. In his second Sade Sati he became a cabinet Minister in Maharashtra, and in third Sade Sati he became Prime Minister of India. In Journal of Astrology, April - June 1999 issue a brilliant deep study of results at' Sade Sati has been done under guidance of K.N. Rao. This proves beyond doubt that the period of Sade Sati cannot be bad it i) The operative Dasha / Antar is beneficial ii) If 12th, 1 st and 2nd houses from Moon have more than 30 Bindus each in the Sarvashtak Varga, the result of this transit would be beneficial. This was the case in Nehru's horoscope. iii) If in the Bhinashtak Varga of Saturn it has more benefic points in these houses the results of this transit cannot be bad. iv) The results would again be not bad if Saturn is transiting through own/friend's house etc. See also the Nakshatras surrounding Moon. If these are beneficial, results of Sade Sati cannot be bad. vi) Aspects of other planets should also be taken into consideration. Benefic aspects give excellent results, while malefic aspects cause evil. VII— Transit through Nakshatras Natal Star: The natal star is the Nakshatra in which Moon is located at the time of birth. In the horoscope of Nehru the Moon is in Cancer Rasi at 17 degrees. 51 minutes, in Ashlesha Nakshatra of Mercury (number 9). This is his birth Nakshatra or natal star. Phala Deepika has given in details the results of transits of various planets in different Nakshatras. This view is at variance with that given by other authorities. According to them the transit of v)

Transit

299

planets in 3rd, 5th and 7th Nakshatra from the birth Nakshatra and their trines (12 and 21; 14 and 23, and 16 and 25) cause misery in life. The 3rd Nakshatra is known as Vipat Tara (star), whereas 5th is known as Prathiram and 7th is called as Vadha Tara. When benefic planets transit these Nakshatra the results are not good, but when malefic planets move over these stars the results are very bad, especially when these are associated or aspected by malefics, or are in retrograde motion or become combust. The results of transit of various planets, as given in various classical works are as follows: Sun is malefic in 1st, 14th, 16th, 19th, 1 st and 23rd Nakshatra from birth Nakshatra. It is good in others. Moon is malefic in 1st, 19th, 21st and 23rd Nakshatra from birth Nakshatra, in others it is benefid. Mars is malefic in 1st 3rd, 5th, 7th, 12th, 14th, 19th and 21st Nakshatra from Janam Nakshatra, in other places it is good. Mercury, Venus and Jupiter are bad in 1st, 3rd, 7th, 10th, 12th, and 27th star from birth Nakshatra. They are good in other places. Saturn, Rahu and Ketu: Their transit in 1st, 7th, 10th, and 27th Nakshatra from birth Nakshatra is evil. It is good in others. According to Mantreswar the transit of Saturn, Rahu and Ketu in 1 st, 9th, 1 Oth, 11 th, 26th and 27th Nakshatra from Janam Nakshatra is bad. VIII— Transit in Kakshaya This is an important concept in Ashtak Varga. Each Rasi of 30 degrees is divided into eight equal parts of 3° 45'. The lords of these kakshaya are Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Sun, Venus, Mercury, Moon and Lagna in that order. A planet while transiting in a kakshaya whose lord has contributed a Bindu (this can be ascertained from Prasthar Chakra of each planet) gives good results, while in transiting in a Binduless kakshaya evil results are manifested. There is another concept of interpretation of results. Suppose Saturn in transit reaches the kakshaya of Mars, and Mars has contributed one Bindu, then the result of transit in this kakshaya will not only be good, but Saturn here wilt give the results of its own signification as also that of Mars. This has been illustrated with

300


examples in the chapter on kakshaya in my other book. IX — Temporal Benefic and Malefic for different Lagnas While judging the result of transit of a planet its lordship must be taken into account whether it is benefic or malefic for a particular Lagna. This concept is peculiar to Vedic Astrology and has been elaborated by Maharishi Parasara in Brihat Parasara Hora Shastra. In this connection following principles should be memorized; i) Lagna Lord is always Benefic i.e. Mars for Aries and Scorpio Lagnas and Saturn for Cancer and Aquarius are benefics. ii) Lord of 5th house and lords of 9th house are always auspicious. iii) Mars for Cancer, and Leo Lagnas, Saturn for Lagnas of Venus, Taurus and Libra, and Venus for Lagnas of Saturn Capricorn and Aquarius are Yoga Karkas, being lords of Kendra and Trikona. iv) Malefic lords of Kendras cease to be malefics, and benefic lords of Kendras have Kendra Adhipati Dosha and do not give benefic results. X — Aspects The aspects during transit are also important. Benefic aspects on a transiting planets give good results, while malefic aspects may prove disastrous. XI — Retrograde Planets A retrograde natural benefic planet transiting a favourable house enhances the signification of the house, while transiting in an unfavourable house the results will be less destructive. A retrograde natural malefic becomes more destructive. If it is transiting through a good house, meaning 3,6, and 11 etc.; its good effects are decreased. If it is transiting through an unfavourable house its results become malefic. XII— Dasha in Operation i) Dasha of a benefic planet — A benefic planet whose Dasha is running, while in transit, passing through a favourable house gives benefic effects to the maximum. In evil houses the benefic effects are reduced.

Transit ii)

301

Dasha and transit of malefic — Transit in malefic houses make the results worse, whereas the transit through benefic houses reduce the harmful effects. XIII — Effect of Combustion Planets when transiting through favourable position from Moon if become combust (get obstructed by Sun rays), or get eclipsed by Rahu/Ketu cannot give good results, whereas they give bad results in transiting through unfavourable houses in similar circumstances. The planets get combust in their nearness to Sun within certain specified degrees. The Mercury gets combust if it is within 3 degrees from Sun The Moon gets combust if it is within 12 degrees from Sun The Mars gets combust if it is within 17 degrees from Sun The Jupiter gets combust if it is within 11 degrees from Sun The Venus gets combust if it is within 9 degrees from Sun The Saturn gets combust if it is within 15 degrees from Sun XIV — Pap Kartari Yoga If a planet, while transiting, gets hemmed in 'Pap Kartari Yoga', its good effects are diluted in favourable houses, and in unfavourable houses its evil effects gets accentuated. XV — Shubh Kartari Yoga In Shubh Kartari Yoga the results are opposite. XVI — While transiting, the position of other planets should also be taken into account. The placement of benefic planets in 4th, 8th, and 5th and 9th from its position is good, whereas malefic planets cause evil. These rules are similar to what have been prescribed by Parasara in judgment of Dasha/Antardasha. xvn—In passing through the first 10 degrees of a sign, Mars and Sun give immediate results. Transits of slow moving planets, Saturn and Jupiter are held to be most powerful. The two and half-year results should be judged from Saturn, the yearly results from Jupiter, the monthly from other planets and daily results from Moon. XVIII — Treating each planet as Lagna for transit results. Phala Deepika, a respected old treatise on Hindu astrology has propounded the principle that for assessment of transit results the

302


placement of each planet in the birth horoscope be treated as Lagna and results of various houses assessed accordingly. This will be clear from following example. XIX — while transiting over a sign having no Bindus in its Ashtak Varga, a planet will give very bad results, which may even, entail loss of life. But while transiting over a house with 7 or 8 Bindus excellent results would be forthcoming like high government job or substantial profit in business. XX — Timing result of transit According to Phala Deepika the good or bad results will occur only when a planet crosses the degree of its longitude in the birth horoscope. For example if in the birth chart Jupiter is at 15 degrees in Aries and it is transiting in Scorpio having 8 Bindus then the good effects of this house will be forthcoming only when Jupiter reaches 15 degrees. XXI — The effect of the house will be promoted even when a malefic occupies his own house. If a planet were in his sign of debilitation or in his enemy's house, the house occupied will be damaged. XXn — "If a benefic happens to own a Dusthan (6, 8 or 12), it will destroy the house occupied by him even when he may be occupying his sign of exaltation, malefic in exaltation will do good to the house occupied by him if it owns a good house." Phala Deepika. XXIII — The transit of planets in houses containing more Bindus is productive of good. This rule does not apply to houses 6, 8 and 12, for performance of auspicious functions.

Chapter XV Dasha How to Interpret Dasha There are many types of Dasha prevalent for delineation of a horoscope. Parasara himself mentions about 32 Dashas. But the most popular Dasha in Kaliyuga is Vimshottari Dasha. The other Dashas in vogue are Ashttotari and Yogini. A Vimshottari means hundred and twenty. This is the total years allotted to all the planets representing 120 years of a full span of man's life. While applying Vimshottari Dasha it is necessary to follow Parasari principles, which have been summarized as below. 1. Lords of Lagna, and Trikonas (5th and 9th houses) are always auspicious. 2.

Planet who is exalted, in its own or friendly house, gets debilitated in Navamsa or is in inimical sign in Navamsa gives mixed results in the first half and favourable results in the second half. 5. The house aspected by its lord gives good results during its Dasha. 6. Dashas of the planet who are involved in Raj Yogas give good results. Combination of Kendra Trikona is a Raj Yoga of a high order. 7. According to Laghu Parasari Dasha of a planet associated with the lord of the 5th or 9th is also auspicious.

Dasha

307

be most malefic for progeny unless it has relation with lord of trine or angle. 18. If an exalted or auspicious planet occupies 5, 6, and 7 places from a planet, it gives auspicious results. 19. Similarly a planet in 4th exalted or in its own house gives good results. Adverse Dashas: (See also Dasha Chidra at the end this chapter) Dasha Chidra: Taken from Varahamihira Brihat Jatak The person gets the royal power in the Antardasha of the most powerful planet who combines in the 10th or in the first. He loses that power in the Antardasha of the planet who is unfriendly or Neecha house because such period is called Chidra Dasha. Then he must seek protection from a powerful king. Take a planet in the first or 10 and whichever is the stronger predict acquisition of power during that Antardasha. If there are no planets in the first or the tenth find out which of the lot is strongest and ascribe the power to him during his Antardasha. Such kingly power or office will be lost when the Antardasha of a planet, which occupies an unfriendly or debilitated Rasi, intervenes. This is called Chidra Dasha, which means accident or misfortune as well as hole, and therefore lie gets into unfortunate position by losing his power. Note (Dasha Chidra is also the beginning of a new Mahadasha or ending of an old Mahadasha. These represent, changes in one's life.) See previous page. Other bad Dashas are: 1. Dasha of a planet conjoined with a malefic is bad. 2. Dashas of malefic planets give adverse results. 3. Dasha of a planet who is weak in Ashtak Varga and debilitated is bad and confers losses. This is known as 'Rikta Dasha'. 4. Dasha of a planet who is at the lowest point of debilitation or in enemy's Navamsa or in inimical sign is called Arishta Dasha' (period of misfortune). One loses health, wealth and name. 5. Avrohini Dasha proves most in-auspicious if the Dasha lord is in inimical or in debilitation sign or in the Navamsa of the same sign. 6. Dasha of retrograde planets give unpredictive results. In medical

308


astrology they give adverse results and are not good for health. 8. The planet in last degrees of sign is not capable of giving good results. 9. Dasha of a planet with 'Mandi' is not good. 10. Planets placed in 3rd, 5th or 7th Nakshatra from .Janam Nakshatra give adverse results. 11. Planet aspected by malefics or in Papkartari Yoga or combust does not give good results. 12. Dashas of the lords of 6, 8 and 12 are inauspicious. According to Phala Deepika Dasha of any one of the lords of 6, 8 and 12 in the Antra of any one of them gives bad results. Similarly Dasha of planets posited in 6, 8 or 12 or Antra of any one of them is bad. 13. According to Phala Deepika there will be theft in the house, troubled by enemies during Dasha of a malefic planet and Antra of any one of the 3rd, 5th or 7th Nakshatra reckoned from Janam Nakshatra. It will result in Dasha of a malefic and in the Antra Dasha of the lord of the Moon or the 8th house therefrom. 14. All debilitated planets in inimical sign or in 6 and 12 will produce adverse results. Similarly, malefic placed like this will cause misery. 15. The native will face danger from enemies, suffer loss or position and earn hostility of persons who had been his friends, during Dasha of a planet and Antra Dasha of the planet who is (1) inimical to lord of Dasha (2) who is in inimical sign (3) one who is posited in the 6th or (4) who is inimical to lord of Lagna. 16. The planets posited in 6, 8 and 12 from lord of Dasha are not good, rest give good results, Important: Planets in their Dashas will give two types of results 1. Relating to their own signification like Sun for authority, Mars for land, brothers, Jupiter for wealth and children, Venus for wife, wealth etc. 2. Relating to their ownership of different houses. For example lord of 5 and 9 will give auspicious results while those of 6,8 or 12 will give adverse results.

How to Interpret Dashas: According to Laghu Parasari all the planets good or bad, when in their Dasha and their own Antra Dasha do not give good or bad results according to their nature. Even a Marka planet does not become a killer in its own Antra. It may not give any effect but some effect, however little it may be, would be felt. According to Parasara treat Dasha Nath as Lagna. If there are malefics in 5th, 8th and 9th horn the sign having running Dasha their Dashas will be troublesome. Results of Antardasha Lord 1. If lord of the Lagna is posited in its own Navamsa, Dwadasamsa, or Drekkan, the Antras are going to be auspicious. Similarly if it is also placed in its own Trimsamsa or that of its friend, results will be good. 2. If the lord of the sign in whose Navamsa the lord of Lagna is posited is occupying the Navamsa, Drekkan or Dwadasamsa of a friend and is aspected by a friend, its Antra is said to be auspicious. 3. The Antra of a planet occupying the Navamsa, Dwadasamsa or Drekkan of the 5th and 8th lords are auspicious. Similarly Antra of a planet occupying Navamsa, Dwadasamsa or Drekkan of the 4th house is good. 4. During the Dasha of benefics not related to Yoga Karka and Antardasha of one of the Yoga Karka, and Patyantra Dasha of other good planet, auspicious results are generally experienced. During Dasha of related planets good results in full are witnessed. 5. Even malefics (lords of 6,8, and 12) having relation with the Yoga Karka planets give good results depending upon their strength and relation with Yoga Karka planet in their main and sub period. Inauspicious Dasha 1. Dashas of the lords of 6, 8 or 12 are inauspicious. 2. If the lord of the Marka associates with that of 6th or the first, its Antra brings fever.

Dasha

3.

Similarly, the Antra of the Lagna lord associated with lord of six will cause diseases as per the characteristics of the Shadvargas of the planet in the Rasi of which Lagna lord is located, e.g. in the Shadvargas of Moon it will cause dyspepsia etc., in that of Mars blood disorder etc. 4. In the Dasha of lord of 6 and Antra of a Markesh there is danger from arms and chances of great suffering. 5. If Rahu, Ketu, Saturn or Mars are associated with Markesh and occupy the 8th, their Dashas and Antras cause diseases. 6. If the Lagna lord and lord of 6 are associated with the lord of 8 or Markesh their Antras cause harm. Lord of malefrcs may cause death whereas benefics give sickness. Special Results of Dasha and Antradasha of Venus and Saturn: According to Uttarkalamitra if Saturn and Venus are both strong and become Yoga Karka results of their Dasha and Antardasha are very unfavourable. (Strength means exalted, own house, Vargottam etc.) Under such condition the native will be as good as a beggar even though he may be rich like Kuber. But if one is strong and another is weak the native will enjoy good results according to character and strength of stronger planet. If both of them be weak and are posited in 6, 8, and 12 or one of them is situated in 6th or 8th place or another, or they own any Dusthan or are posited there or associated with lord of Dusthan the results of their Dashas or Antardasha will be exceptionally good. Dasha of the 9th lord Based on an article "If Luck is strong " by K.N. Rao (Published in Journal of Astrology July — September 2001) According to K.N. Rao if a strong and favourable Dasha comes in one's life one becomes an achiever and even a historical figure. "A strong 9th house and 9th, lord and / or ninth lord or the Navamsa condition of the ninth lord, make so much difference to the strength of a horoscope if the primary condition of the Lagna or the Lagna lord not being weak exists. In this scheme of things the lilih house and

316


the 5th lord too must figure because it is 9th from 9th" In fact, Vargottam Lagna, VargottamMoon, exalted planets in birth horoscope or the Navamsa and a good Dasha scheme help one overcome many adversities and make one rise high.

The iron lady and Prime Minister of England for a 10 years. The 9th lord Mercury is Vargottam with exalted Yoga Karka in Lagna. Vimshottari Dasha There are many types of Dasha prevalent for delineation of a horoscope. Parasara himself mentions about 42 Dashas. But the most popular Dashas in Kaliyuga is Vimshottari Dasha. Among

318


other Dashas in vogue are Kaal Chakra, Ashtottari and Yogini. Vimshottari means hundred and twenty. This is the total years allotted to all the planets representing 120 years of a full span of man's life. While applying Vimshottari Dasha it is necessary to follow Parasari principles, which have been summarized as below. 1. Lords ofLagna, and Trikonas (fifth and 9* houses) are always auspicious. 2. Lords ofKendras and Trikona when combined give Raj Yoga of a high order. 3. In the Rasis of Venus Taurus and Libra, Saturn is Yoga Karka, while in the Rasis of Saturn Capricorn and Aquarius, Venus is Yoga Karka. Similarly, for the Rasis Cancer of Moon and Leo of Sun Mars is Yoga Karka as these are lords of Kendra and Trikona. 4. Lords of 3, 6 and 11 are evil. 5. Lords of 8 and 12 are neutral and give result according to planets they are associated with. 6. If a benefic planet is lord of two Kendras it ceases to be benefic- Kendra Adhipati Dosha. Similarly, malefic lord of two Kendras shed malevolence but act in a benefic manner only if they are also lord of a Trikona. 7. Lords of houses 2 and 7 and planets posited in them or aspecting them become Markas if the time of death has come. Saturn and Rahu also become unqualified Markas if Dashas of lords of two and seven does not come at the predestined time. Some Definitions 1. Sampooran Dasha: Dasha of a planet which is very strong and occupies highest degree of exaltation 2. Poorna Dasha ; strong and exalted planet's Dasha. 3. Rikta Dasha - empty or without good results: Planet with no strength and debilitated. "Dasha of a debilitated 3, 6, or 8 or debilitated planet placed in 3,6 and 8 gives very good results." - Parasara 4. Arishta Dasha: extreme degree of debilitation ,inimical sign or Neecha Navamsa

Dasha

319

5. Avrohini - getting down -towards Neecha 6. Arohini: moving towards exaltation getting up. 7. Good in the beginning Poorvaardha (initial half) and mixed in Uttarardha latter half. Planet strong in exaltation or Mooltrikona sign or in own and friend's house but in Na.va.msa debilitated or in enemy house give good results at the beginning and bad at the later half. 8. Neshta Dasha: malefic Dasha combust, debilitated, inimical sign inimical or Neecha Navamsa. 9. Vakri or Retrograde: Honour injured -fall from position: According to Saravalli a benefic planet in retrogression becomes strong and confers kingdom. Malefic planets retrograde give grief and purposeless wandering Retrograde creates deficiency for house owned and where posited. Retrograde increase effect of the planet it is with or aspects. 10. Dasha of a planet in 3, 6, and 11 gives fulfillment of desire Results ofAntra : Malefic Mahadasha Malefic Antra is painful. Mahadasha malefic / Antra benefic - evil first benefic later. Benefic / benefic - good. Benefic / Malefic - benefic first malefic later. Position 2/12, 6/8 causes loss of wealth, mental trouble. Interpretation of Dasha - Important Principles While interpreting the results of Dashanath KN Rao has taught an important principle which is normally overlooked by ordinary astrologers. The principle is to treat the dashanath as lagna and predict accordingly. According to Rao put your finger on the Mahadasha planet and read the chart from there." This rule is based on principles enunciated by Parashara and classical book Phaladeepika. Emphasizing the role of making dasha lord as lagna Parashara writes " The placement of Mars in kendra, trikona or in the 3rd and 11th house from lord of Mahadasha ( Rahu in this particular case) there will be gain of red cloths, journey, meeting with the king, prosperity to children, abundant goodness from God etc" Similarly, according to Phaladeepika "Whichever house reckoned from the lord of Mahadasha is occupied by lord of the sub period, it is only the result arising from that house that will come

320


to pass in that sub period, and if the lord of the sub period happens to be the 6lh 8lh or 12Ih from Mahadasha lord , the result will be most unpleasant, while the remaining houses will give favourable results. This principle will be clear from following example given by KN Rao in his book, "Timing Event through Vimshottari Dasha". Sit

Analysis of the Horoscope Good technical Education; For education to be good see the dasha scheme, This will also tell you whether the education is technical or not. Examine it from Lagna (the 5th house has Ketu aspected by Mars) which in turn is aspected by Saturn. This promises technical education. Now see the dasha scheme: At the age of 11 he got the dasha of Mars which is in the 10lh house of distinction with directional strength aspected by Saturn. This confirms technical education. Mahadasha of Rahu : Rahu is in the 1 Th, a good position to be in and is with Sun lord of five and Mercury lord of 7 and 10 making a Rajayogas. This dasha is bound to be good. From Rahu debilitated Jupiter having Neecha Bhanga Rajyoga is in the 4* and Saturn fourth and 5'h lord from Rahu is in the 6,h from Rahu. That shows success through competitions. Now see from Moon: Rahu is with 10* lord Mercury with Sun which shows government service. Now examine the condition of Saturn the sub-period lord.Satum is in Kendra from birth lagna and in the house of Jupiter which has been praised by Uttarkalamitra. It is aspected by Mars, 5* lord in the 10th house. Then from Rahu it is in the 6'h house of competition : from Moon it is the 5lh and 6th lord in the 7th, a Kendra which has been describes as the place of pad praptihz position giver. Most important is the next sub- period of Mercury the 7lh and lO'Hord. This showed both high position and marriage. In navamsa Rahu is in the 11th house again and Saturn is in the 7th house of padprapti and marriage. From Rahu in navamsa Saturn is in a trine aspected by Jupiter and is with Mercury, the 5th lord also receiving the aspect of Jupiter from the 5,h house. The best feature of navamsa is that Jupiter aspects Mercury, Saturn and Rahu and the Moon from the third house. Rahu period was bound to be good. While discussing the Mahadasha of Jupiter , Rao states that next period of Jupiter would be comfortable but not as good as that of Rahu. Because it is debihtated. But being involved in an exchange with Saturn it must have been a period of making property. 'What must have remained towards the end "of Jupiter period is an undistinguished record. See it in three ways: From the debilitated Jupiter in the birth horoscope, Rahu is in

322 Analysing Horoscope Through Modem Techniques the 10,h house with 6th and 8* lord, though Mercury here as the 9lh lord could have prevented the ruination of his career. In the navamsa Rahu in the third house is being aspected by 8* and 12th lord from Jupiter. In the dashmansha, Rahu is with the 8* and 12th lords- hardly good for rise in power. Now the next dasha of Saturn aspected by Mars, the 12* lord in the birth horoscope, shows some controversy, bad confidential reports or lackluster performance as a result of which he would be overlooked for promotion. There were chances that person would be transferred to some public sector undertaking particularly where there was some construction or house building activity. Saturn in the 4* shows houses , Mars represent lands and being the twelfth lord a deputation as well, a deputation which may necessitate his retirement from service. The tenth lord of navamsa is in the 8* house while 10th lord of dashmansha is aspected by Sun from the 8* house. In such cases early retirement becomes beneficial. Role of debilitated Planets in the Horoscope : One should not be afraid of debilitated planets in the horoscope. It has been observed that in majority of the horoscopes of celebrities there are one or two debilitated planets. In the horoscope of world famous sitarist Ravi Shankar, Moon is debilitated in the 6* house. Moon is in Anuradha nakshatras which has been praised in classical books as conferring Rajyoga. The debilitated planet in three ,six , eight and twelve houses is also good as per principles of Parashara. In Ravi Shankra's horoscope the Saraswati yoga is visible from lagna as well as from Moon. This yoga of art, music and high learning is formed when three benefic planets Venus, Mercury and Jupiter are in 2nd house, trines or Kendras from lagna or Moon. Saraswati is goddess of learning, music and fine arts. Another horoscope of world known figure and a Noble Prize winner is that of Albert Einstein who has two debihtated planets Moon and Venus. Moon is again in the 6* house in Anuradha Nakshatra conferring Rajyoga. Mercury gets Neechabhanga Rajyoga by its association with an exalted planet Venus. This horoscope has again Saraswati Yoga both from lagna as well as Moon which according to Phaladeepika gives intelligence, mathematical skill as well as artistic ability, talent etc.

Dasha Chidra (Based on article written by K.N. Rao in Journal of Astrology - April - June 2001) Every Mahadasha represents a major change from one set of circumstances while Antardasha in Mahadasha shows changes within pattern set by Mahadasha. Generally the change of a Mahadasha and the beginning of another is a landmark remembered as a Dasha Chidra. Some of the astrologers stress negative and disastrous changes only. However a change is a change. The changes in the Dashas could be of four kinds. a. From benefic to benefic b. From benefic to malefic c - From malefic to malefic d. From malefic to benefic. This will be visible in the changes from last Antardasha of the

324


Mahadasha ending the beginning of the new Mahadasha whose Antardasha will be the same as that of Mahadasha lord. Examine the Following: 1.

House lordship of the Dasha lords - of ending or beginning of a Dasha lord - whether functional malefic or benefic.

2.

3.

Placement of the Dasha lords - beginning and ending Dashas, whether in auspicious houses Trikonas or Kendras or in Dusthan houses. Conjunction of Dasha lords, ending - beginning .

4.

Aspects involved and conditions of the planets aspecting.

5.

Condition of the planets involved in Dashas exalted, own house, combust, debilitated etc. Whether planets are retrograde or direct.

6.

The Yogas planets are involved in.

7.

Study of Vargas - Good or bad fortune is flowing from which Varga. Special importance ofNavamsa and Shashtyamsa (1/ 6()lh division). Shashtyamsa should be studied only if birth time is correct.

8.

Placement of changing Mahadasha lords from each other 2/ 12, 6/8 or 5/9 etc.

9.

Check with other Dashas Yogini or char Dasha. When does the Dasha Chidra begins - it is not easy to answer. It has been seen to have begun in some case in penultimate Antardasha of a Mahadasha and not the ultimate one. For example it may be Jupiter- Mars, followed by Jupiter -Rahu and continuing in Saturn- Saturn. It might have been observed that person have a big rise after many years of struggle or they might have a sudden fall after years of prosperity. Basically all these changes take place during Dasha Chidra. Please note in some case the 6/8 position of Mahadasha and Antardasha seem to be more effective in showing changes that have occurred. Note the degrees of the planets involved in Dasha Antardasha. The closer they are in degrees more effective are the results.

This person lost property worth crores in Mahadasha of Mars. Lord of eighth Mars is in the 4th house aspecting Jupiter lord of four property and Karka for wealth. Lord of two wealth Venus is combust and is with lord of twelve Sun. Second house of wealth is aspected by Saturn lord of sixth from the 12* house. Jupiter is Bhadak and has Kendra Adhipati Dosha. It is afflicted by Mars and its aspect on the second house could not provide much relief. This person was once rich as 11111 house of gains is strong aspected by its own lord Moon. Special Results of Dasha and Antradasha of Venus and Saturn According to Uttarkalamitra if Saturn and Venus are both strong and become Yoga Karka results of their Dasha and Antardasha are very unfavourable. (Strength means exalted own house, Vargottam etc.) Under such condition the native will be as good as a beggar even though he may be rich like Kuber. But if one is strong and another is weak the native will enjoy good results according to character and strength of stronger planet. If both of them be weak and are posited in 6, 8, and 12 or one of them is situated in 6* or 8* place or another, or they own any Dusthan or are posited there or associated with lord ofDusthan the results of their Dashas or Antardasha will be exceptionally good.

conjunction in such houses, with one or both debilitated or a malefic for the horoscope. As 'Jupiter' states in his book, 'What the stars foretell', this rather amusing and seemingly paradoxical operation of Venus and Saturn is an " exception to the general rule." But Venus and Saturn are close friends as is obvious that each one is Yoga Karka in other's sign. Venus is Yoga Karka in Capricorn and Aquarius Lagna and Saturn is Yoga Karka in signs with Lagna of Venus, Taurus and Libra. r-*

Chapter XVI Yogini Dasha Yogini Dasha is very popular in northern India. Some of the astrologers steeped in ancient tradition use only Yogini Dasha. On this basis they seem to give some very accurate predictions. According to Brihat Parasara Hora Shastra, Yogini Dasha was revealed by Lord Shiva to Goddess Parvati. There are 8 types of Yoginis which are in the following order. Their total operative period is 36 years. At the end of this cycle the next cycle starts again in the same order and this continues.

According to classical texts the planets, Moon, Sun, Jupiter, Mars, Mercury, Saturn, Venus and Rahu have been evolved respectively from Yoginis, Mangala, Pingala, Dhanya etc. Yogini is a Nakshatra based Dasha. The Mahadasha of each yogini starts with itself and follows in a regular order as above. Calculation of Yogini Dasha Note down the Nakshatra number in which Moon is in the birth horoscope. Add three to the number (there are 27 Nakshatras. Eight Yoginis are to be rotated amongst them. If we divide 27 by eight, remainder is three) and divide by eight. Remainder gives the

Yogini Dasha number which represent the Yogini operative at birth as per .order in the table above. Example: Suppose in a horoscope the Moon is in LIBRA Lagna at 16° 40'. It is, therefore in Swati Nakshatra whose number is 15. Add 3 to no 15 and you get 18. Divide 18 by 8 (no of Yoginis). This gives a balance of 2. The second yogini as per table above is that of Pingala. In this horoscope of Mother Teresa, Moon is with 26 degrees in Aries. It is in Bharani Nakshatra whose number is 2. Add three to 2 and you get five. Since the figure is less than 8 we will let it remain the same. The 5th yogini at birth as per table above is Bhadrika whose lord is Mercury and whose duration is 5 years. Mother Teresa 26-08-1910, 14:25 Hours, Skopje (Yugoslavia) SAT MOOSl

Chapter XVII Nakshatras Zodiac of 360 degrees has 27 Nakshatras or fixed Stars. Each Nakshatra has a span of 13o20'. It is further divided into 4 parts each of 3 degrees, 20 minutes. Each part is also called a Charan orPada as also Navamsa. Nakshatras are important in the sense that the whole scheme of Parasari Dasha system is based on position of Moon at time of birth in a particular Nakshatra. The main source of information on Nakshatras are Vedas, Puranas, Mahabharat and occasional reference in classical books on Astrology, mainly Jatak Brihat of Varahamihira. Nakshatras are fertile field for research as some of the great secrets of Astrology are hidden in them. Knowledge of Nakshatras is a must for Muhurata or for choosing auspicious moments. Birth Star In Hindu Astrology Birth Star is called 'Janam' Nakshatra. This is the Nakshatra in which Moon is located at birth.' Jyotishis' of old school give great importance to this factor. According to other school of thought ascertain whether the Moon or Ascendant is strong. The Nakshatra in which stronger of the two is posited is known as 'Janam' Nakshatra. Still others take lord of Ascendant in place of Ascendant and compare it with Moon to see which is stronger of the two. The Nakshatras have a great importance in predictive astrology. The placement of lord of a house in 3rd, 5th and 7th Nakshatra from Janam Nakshatra is considered as evil. Though sometimes their importance is overstated yet with our present knowledge we should be very cautious in pronouncing judgement. Horoscope has to be seen in totality and is not to be condemned just because birth is not in an auspicious Nakshatra. Some Misconceptions Some misconceptions from the ancient times are being scrupulously followed by the traditional astrologers. According to whom the birth in following Nakshatras are considered inauspicious.

386 Analysing Horoscope Through Modem Techniques For Girls For children of female sex birth in the following Nakshatras are considered inauspicious. Ardra, Ashlesha, Satabhisha, Pushya, Moola, Chitra, Jyeshta and Krittika. These girls unless otherwise suitable are supposed to bring death, strife, sorrows after marriage. Boys Male children bom in the mother's Nakshatra bring death to father, while those bom in fathers Nakshatra lead to mother's death. This rule does not apply to girls. Gand Mool Nakshatras Special Importance has been attached for births in Ashlesha, Magha, Jyeshta, Moola, Revati, and Ashvini which in Hindu Astrology are known as "Gand Mool Nakshatras". They are considered inauspicious both for boys as well as girls. These Nakshatras are Nakshatras of Mercury and Ketu and occur at the conjunction of signs 4, and 5 (Cancer and Leo), 8 and 12 (Scorpio, and Sagittarius), 12 and 1, (Pisces, and Aries). According to Hindu Jyotish, Sandhi - strength of a juncture point is weakened because of the intermingling or transition of two different energies. Gandanta (end of the cheek) portions of the Nakshatra is another type of sandhi which is considered inauspicious. These portions are 1. Last Pada 30o20' of Ashlesha, Jyeshta and Revati (Nakshatras of Mercury) 2. And first Pada or 3020 of Ashvini, Magha and Moola (Nakshatras of Ketu) Gandanta is particularly bad because it is a double sandhi, a juncture of two Rasis as well as two Nakshatras. Planets located at these points are very weak and supposed to cause major problems in life unless proper remedial measures are taken. These Nakshatras are supposed to cause following harms

These Nakshatras should be memorized for predictive purposes, Muhurata, Parasari Dasha, Yogini Dasha etc. According to some pundits there are 28 Nakshatras. This additional Nakshatra has been allotted number 22, thus shifting number of the rest of Nakshatras. Revati will thus get number 28. Aid to Memory Remember Nakshatras repeat after 9th. For example Nakshatras 1.10 and 19 belong to Ketu. Nakshatras 2,11 & 20 belong to Venus 3,12&21 belong to Sun 4,13 & 22 are of Moon 5,14&23 belong to Mars 6,15 & 24 are of Rahu 7,16 & 25 belong to Jupiter 8,17 & 26 belong to Saturn and 9, 18 & 27 belong to Mercury.

Chapter XYHI VARGAS Zodiac consists of 360 degrees or 12 Rasis of 30 degrees each. Each Rasi or sign is further subdivided into number of divisions. These divisions are called Vargas. Vargas are basic tools available to Vedic astrologers for predictive purposes. The success of Hindu astrology over all other systems available in the world goes no small measures to this division of Rasi into Vargas. Basically Vargas are used to measure the strength of planets. As it is well known principle of Astrology that only strong planets are capable of giving good results. The weak planets not only fail to deliver results of their signification but also spoil the results of the Bhava where they are placed or the Bhavas over which they transit. To give a small example the 5th lord, represents, among other things, education. If this 5th lord of the birth horoscope keeps repeating in various Vargas in its own house, sign of exaltation or in friend's house the achievements in the educational field of the person concerned would be really high. KN Rao is the first astrologer in this century who has used Vargas with stunning effect for giving accurate predictions. His use of Saptamsa for birth of children has been highlighted in his book "Planets and Children." While Maharishi Parasara has divided the Rasi in 36 (Shodasvargas), the Vargas that are commonly used are as follows: Vargas L Shadvargas (6 fold Division) D-l D-12 1. Rasi 5. Dwadasamsa 2. Hora 6.

Importance of Vargas 1. In the golden age of Hindu Astrology the Vargas had a considerable importance. No predictions were given without consulting the relevant Varga charts. In this material age, because of hankering after money and paucity of time the modem so called astrologers rarely use Vargas. That is why the results are generally not good. The only Varga that is being considered is Navamsa. With the new scientific study of astrology introduced by K.N. Rao the use of Vargas is being revived with remarkable effect. 2. Basically the Vargas are used to measure strength of the planet. A strong planet who is well placed in Dasvargas gives excellent results. In Navamsa if a planet repeats itself in the same Rasi, is known as Vargottam. A Vargottam planet gives more or less as good results as that given by an exalted planet. Various names have, been given to planets if they keep themselves repeating in their own signs/signs of exaltation in Dashavargas. In Dashavargas (ten Vargas) if a planet a) repeats itself twice is known as Parijat b) repeats itself thrice is known as Uttam c ) repeats itself four times is known as Gopura d) repeats itself five times known as Simhasan e ) repeats itself six times is known as Parvata repeats itself seven times is known as Devalokan g) repeats itself eight times is known as Brahmloka i) repeats itself nine times is known as Airavata

Analysing Horoscope Through Modern Techniques repeats itself ten times is known as Sreedham An Uttam 5th lord makes a person highly educated, a Gopun makes one learned and gives great name and fame, while Simhasan makes him a Minister or an advisor. Vargas gives us great help in studying various aspects of life, like wealth, marriage, children, profession etc. During his Dasha or Antardasha if a planet is free frorr malefic aspects in most of the Vargas it gives excellent results. If an exalted planet becomes debilitated in Shadvargas or is placed in enemy's house it does not give good results. In contrast to this if a debilitated planet becomes exalted or is placed in own/friend's house improves its position. A Vargottam debilitated planet also gives good results. Lagna Vargottam and two or three planets Vargottam give riches and prosperity. The Lagna Navamsa lord assumes great importance in prediction. Its association aspect with other planets becomes auspicious in giving good results. If Lagna lord of Rasi and Navamsa are both strong and have benefic association, life becomes smooth and prosperous. Similarly Lagna lord of Rasi and Drekkan, if well placed, give a successful career. According to Phala Deepika if the benefic planets be endowed with strength in Shadvargas, the native would lead a happy and prosperous life. According to same book if the Ascendant falls in a malefic Rasi in the Shadvargas, the native will be short-lived and will be poor and miserable. This will be compensated to some extent if the dispositor of ascendant is strong. In such cases person will be happy, prosperous and of high status. According to Hora Ratnam planets in various malefic divisions in Sapt Varga produce a cruel person, while in benefic division they produce a kind hearted and benign person. The Vargottama planet in Navamsa acts like exalted planet and gives excellent results. A debilitated planet or placed in enemy Rasi in Vargas gives

trouble some time during its Dasha. If a debilitated planet in Rasi chart becomes exalted or is placed in friend's house in Navamsa then he does not give bad results. 17. An exalted planet does not give good results if it becomes debilitated in Navamsa. If there are many planets in Shadvargas who are aspected with own Navamsa Pati (lord) or in the Rasi of Navamsa Pati (lord) then their Dasha brings happiness and gives good results. Even such malefic planet do not prove to be troublesome. 18. If in Shadvargas, in majority of cases Lagna/lagna lord has benefic combination then life becomes happy and prosperous otherwise opposite are the results. 19. If the Lagnesh of Rasi chart and that of Navamsa are strong and have benefic aspect then the life is successful and prestigious. 20. If the lagnesh of Rasi chart and that of Drekkan are in good condition and strong that is they are aspected by benefics etc. then the person has a successful career, creates goodwill and happiness all around. 21. If a planet is debilitated in both Rasi and Navamsa then it becomes Vargottam and gives good results. 22. Malefic planets in Rasi chart improve their results if they are well placed in Navamsa. In the light of above let us discuss various Divisional Charts. 1. RASI This is the basic and most important chart, which is also known as birth horoscope. It is different from the word Rasi normally used in Hindu astrology which denotes the sign in which Moon is placed at birth. It should be clearly understood that this chart is of basic importance. What is not promised in this chart and the Dasha scheme cannot be given in other charts. If the children are denied in the birth chart and are not promised in the Dasha scheme, then howsoever, the other charts may be good, birth of children will not occur. So is the case with other facets of life. 16.

II HORA From Hora is judged wealth, prosperity and second house signification. It is the division of a sign in two parts of 15 degrees each in odd signs 1,3,5,7,9and 1 l,the first 15 degrees go to the Hora of Sun, while the last 15 go to the hora of Moon. In even sign 2,4,6, 8, 10 and 12 this process is reversed. The first 15 degrees go to Moon while last 15 degrees go to Sun. In the above horoscope Lagna is in odd sign with less than 15 degrees, hence it is in the hora of Sun. The Sun is in even sign with more than 15 degrees therefore it will be placed in Sun's hora. Moon is more than 15 degrees and is in even sign therefore it will be in the hora of Sun. Mars is in even sign with more than 15 degrees therefore it will be in hora of Moon. In the similar manner Mercury will be in the hora of Sun while Jupiter will be in the hora of Moon. Venus with more than 15 degrees is in odd sign, therefore it will be in the hora of Moon. Saturn with more than 15 degrees is in the even sign therefore it will be in

409

the hora of Sun. Similarly Rahu and Ketu will be placed in the hora of Moon. The final picture will be as follows. Hora Moon: Mars, Jupiter, Venus, Rahu, Ketu Sun: Lagna, Sun, Moon, Mercury, Saturn Sun's Hora According to Varahamihira if malefics are placed in Solar Hora in odd signs one becomes famous, undertakes great work, possesses strength, wealth and great personal attraction. The male planets, Sun and Mars and Jupiter to some extent give good results in Sun's Hora. Some astrologers are of the opinion that Jupiter should be better placed in Moon' Hora as in Sun's hora it gives diseases of liver and upper abdomen. Benefics and female planets give best results in Moon' hora. Signification of a planet suffers if it is in a wrong hora. 1. Sun and Mars, if placed in odd Rasis and in Sun's hora, give much courage and strength. It gives success in politics and high rank and give plenty of initiative and drive. 2. Atma Karka (the planet which has the highest longitude minus Rasis in the horoscope), give spiritual development in Sun's hora. 3. Majority of planets in Sun's hora, and Lagna in Moon are good for financial prosperity. 4. Planets in odd signs and Sun's hora are good for material things, they give much self confidence, but disturb mental peace. 5. The planets here have the tendency to give riches through fair or foul means. 6. Mercury in Sun's hora give break in education if other combinations are also there. 7. Similarly Moon in Sun's hora disturbs peace of mind and gives emotional disturbance. Here aspects on Moon should also be taken into account while giving prediction. 8. Venus in the hora of Sun may give weak sexual life and disturbed married fife if other combinations are there. 9. 5th lord and male planets in the hora of Sun give male children. 10. The signification of a planet suffers if it is in a wrong hora.

Note:

It has been observed that in the horoscopes of notable spiritualists Sun is in Moon' hora while Moon is in Sun's hora. The significance of this will be discussed in greater detail in a separate paper.

Hora of Moon According to Varahamihira if benefics join the lunar hora in even signs, the person becomes tender hearted, handsome, happy, popular, intelligent and polite speaker. 1. Benefics and female planets give best results in Moon's hora. They make a person handsome, give attractive personality and make one popular with other sex. 2. Benefics in Hora Lagna make one fortunate, wise, intelligent, jovial and give a magnetic personality. 3. Even sign in Ascendant and hora of Moon give money with less labour and effort. 4. Venus in Moon's Hora gives sweet behaviour, attractive personality and company of women of high society. Other combinations should also be checked. 5. Mercury here gives good intellectual power and high academic education. 6. Jupiter in even sign and hora of Moon give high rank and sometimes service in financial field. 7. 5th lord in even sign in the hora of Moon give female children. 8. It should be clearly understood that Sun, Jupiter and Mars are very powerful in the first half of odd sign, and Moon, Venus and Saturn give best results in 2nd half of even sign. 3. Navamsa This is the most important Varga. Much of the credit of success of Hindu Astrology goes to Navamsa. This chart should be treated at par with birth horoscope and chart with Moon as Lagna No prediction should be given in any sphere of life, particularly on marriage without consulting this chart. This chart clearly shows the strength and weakness of planets. Navamsa is basically consulted for married life, tempreament, character of the spouse, timing of marriage, happiness and marital tensions. It also gives useful clue in practically all spheres of life. Each sign of 30 degrees of the zodiac has been divided into

Vargas

411

nine parts consisting of 3 degrees and 20 minutes. This has correlation with one fourth part of a Nakshatra consisting of 13 degrees, 20 minutes, and is called a Pada constituting again 3 degrees 20 minutes. (Nakshatras are 27 in number, and if we divide thezodiac of 360 degrees by 27, we get arc of one Nakshatra equal to 13o20'.) There are various methods of making a Navamsa chart. Here we give the easiest one, so that these could be easily memorized. Since each Navamsa consists of SÔ', first ascertain which Navamsa a planet or Lagna is by seeing its longitude. For example 1st Navamsa is from 0 to 3o20', second from 3o20' to 6o40', 3rd from 6o40' to 10°, 4th from 10° to 13o20' and so on. Remember 3rd Navamsa finishes at 10°, 6th finishes at 20°, rest is easy. Example: Planet is having longitude of 22o40'. Since 6th finishes at 20° and one Navamsa is of SÔ', planet is in the 7th Navamsa. Now start counting as follows: i) In movable Rasis (1,4, 7 and 10: Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn) the counting starts.fromRasi itself i.e. where the planet is located. ii) In Fixed Rasis (2,5,8 and 11) the counting starts from 9th place from its location hi) In dual signs (3, 6, 9, 12) the counting starts from the 5th position. Example In Mahatma Gandhi's horoscope Lagna is 11 056' in 4th Navamsa and is in movable Rasi therefore the counting will start from this Rasi (Libra). The 4th from Libra is Capricorn. Hence, Navamsa Lagna will be in Capricorn. Sun in dual Rasi Virgo is in the 6th Navamsa. In dual Rasi the counting starts from the sign 5th from it. 5th from Virgo where Sun is placed is Capricorn. 6th from Capricorn is Gemini. Sun will therefore be in Gemini Navamsa. Moon with 28° 15' is in 9th Navamsa and is placed in movable Rasi Cancer The counting will therefore start from the Rasi itself. 9th from Cancer is Pisces. Moon will therefore be in Pisces in Navamsa chart. Mars with 26023' is in 8th Navamsa in movable Rasi Libra. Therefore counting will start from Libra itself. 8th from Libra is Taurus. Therefore Mars will be in Taurus Navamsa. Similarly other planets should be placed in Navamsa chart in the manner explained above.

412


The Navamsa chart would take the following shape.

II Method: First ascertain as above the number of Navamsa planet is in. Then with the help of chart shown, add number given in each Rasi. This will be the sign in which planet is located. Example: —-—■ t— - — 1 0 9

In Mahatma Gandhi's horoscope Lagna is in the 4th Navamsa in Libra. From the above chart we find that there are six points in Libra. Adding 4 and 6 we get number 10 which is Capricorn. Lagna will, therefore, be in Capricorn. Sun is in Virgo in the 6th Navamsa. Virgo has 9 points in the chart above. Adding 6 and 9 we get the number 15 or 3 which is sign Gemini. Sun will, therefore, be in Gemini Navamsa. Moon with 28° 15' is in the 9th Navamsa in Cancer. Cancer has 3 points. Adding 9 and 3 we get the number 12 which is sign Pisces. Moon will, therefore, be in Pisces in Navamsa chart. Mars is in Libra in the 8th Navamsa. Libra has 6 points

Vargas

413

therefore adding 8 and 6 we get figure 14 or 2 which is Taurus. Mars will, therefore, be in Taurus Navamsa. Similarly workout the position of other planets. Remember: The planets in the first Navamsa in movable Rasis, 5th in fixed Rasi, and 9th in dual are Vargottam. It means these are in the same Rasi in Navamsa as in the birth horoscope. Importance of Navamsa According to Phala Deepika if lord of the Ascendant is strong in Navamsa one attains all types of happiness. According to Hora Ratnam status about the lost article is to be obtained from Navamsa. Vargottama Navamsa The meaning of Vargottama planet has been explained. The first Navamsa of a movable sign, middle one of the fixed sign and last one of the dual sign are called Vargottam. According to Hora Ratnam one bom with such a Navamsa Ascendant will be the chief of his race, means he will be very prosperous. There are various variations of Vargottama planet. It can be Vargottama in 1. Exaltation 2. Mooltrikona sign 3. Own sign 4. Friendly sign 5. Enemy sign 6. Debilitation sign The power to do good decreases in descending order. The question now arises as to what type of results a Vargottam debilitated planets give. Opinion is divided here, but we are inchned to agree with those who believe that a Vargottam debilitated planet is capable of causing lot of mischief. 1. In Vargas this is the most important chart. No prediction should be made without consulting Navamsa charts and it should be read as birth chart. South Indian astrologers attach great importance to this Varga and do not give any prediction without consulting this chart. The relative value allotted to Vargas in Shadvargas by classical writers are Rasi 6 Hora 2

414 Analysing Horoscope Through Modem Techniques Drekkana 4 Navamsa 5 Dwadasamsa 2 Trimsamsa 1 According to this Navamsa is almost at par with the birth chart. 2. It shows strength and weakness of planets. Debilitated planets may become exalted in Navamsa and hence may improve its position and vice a versa According to ancient texts a debilitated planet, if exalted in Navamsa, gives the result of an exalted planet. However, it will be more appropriate to say that its position is improved and does not give the bad results it is supposed to give. 3. To see the strength of the horoscope, count the number of Raj Yogas in the birth horoscope. Compare these with those in Navamsa. If the number of Raj Yogas do not substantially decrease, the strength of the horoscope stays. But if the number is substantially decreased the horoscope does not remain as powerful as it is supposed to be. 4. If lord of the ascendant is strong in Navamsa, this becomes a great asset, and the personality of the person becomes impressive and prosperity increases. According to Jatak Parijat appearance of the person can be determined according to the lord of ascendant in Navamsa or the strongest planet placed in the ascendant of the birth chart. Lord of the ascendant in Navamsa would in this case become very important if it is also strong in birth chart. 5. In determining profession Normally profession is judged from lord of 10th in the birth horoscope, 10th from Lagna, Moon or Sun whichever is strongest. But this will give correct results in only 50 per cent of the cases. Still better results can be obtained from the lord of Navamsa of the 10th lord. 64th Navamsa In medical astrology lord of the 64th Navamsa is evil and causes trouble in its Dasha/Antardasha. Calculation Place the degree of the Moon in the sign 8th from it, and determine the Navamsa of that sign. The lord of that Navamsa is lord of 64th Navamsa, and along with planets falling in Navamsa chart, act as malefic.

Vargas

415

In the usual Navamsa chart, the sign falling in the 4th house from Moon happens to be 64th Navamsa. Example: Mahatma Gandhi's horoscope In this horoscope Moon is in Cancer with 28° 15'. Place this degree 28015' in the sign 8th from Moon i.e. in Aquarius, and determine its Navamsa. Since this is 9th Navamsa in a fixed sign (Aquarius), in Navamsa Chart it would be placed in Pisces. (Counting would start from 9th from Aquarius which is Libra. 9th from Libra is Gemini). If we see the Navamsa chart we find that 4th from Moon is Gemini. The Lord of Gemini is Mercury, which is lord of 64th Navamsa and hence evil. 7. Navamsa and Marriage Navamsa chart is utilized in timing of marriage, j udging the quality of married fife, looks and behavior of partner, character," mental and physical characteristics of spouse, matching of horoscopes, divorce death and separation. I) Happiness in Marriage importance of Navamsa Lagna and 7th lord of birth chart. Married life is happy if Navamsa Lagna is exalted, is in its own sign and is aspected/ conjunct with benefics. It is still better if 7th house/ 7th lord of Navamsa chart is also studied. Sun Moon opposition in 1/7 axis means continuance bickering. Saturn, lord of scarcity in 12 mean denial of beds/sexual pleasures. Looks and behavior of wife/husband See the condition of Lagna/lord in Navamsa and planets it is with, if it is with Moon wife is beautiful and vivacious. i) With Venus beautiful and artistic. ii) With Mercury knowledgeable and witty. iii) With Jupiter religious and pure type. Sun gives haughty, Saturn mean, Mars aggressive and angry, Rahu/ Ketu unreliable, cheat and low minded spouse. Most of the astrologers use 7th in Navamsa Lagna to get description of husband and wife, both mental as well as physical- Moon is mainly concerned with mental characteristics. Matching of Horoscopes Lagna or the Moon of the spouse matches with Rasi occupied by lagna/ Moon in the Navamsa of native.

4 Drekkan (D-3) or Decanates Each sign consists of 30 degrees, which is divided into three parts of 10 degrees each, 1 to 10 degrees are in the 1st Drekkan, 10 to 20 degrees in second and those which are from 20 to 30 degrees belong to third Drekkan. Planets/Lagna falling in the first Drekkan belong to sign itself, the second Drekkan are in the sign 5th from it and the third Drekkan is in the sign 9th from it. Example: Mahatma Gandhi's horoscope In this horoscope Lagna is of 11 056', hence it is in the 2nd Drekkan and, therefore, it will belong to sign 5th from it. The sign 5th from Libra is Aquarius, therefore the Lagna of Drekkan would be Aquarius. Sun with 16055' is again in 2nd Drekkan. Therefore in Drekkan chart it will be in sign 5th from it which is Capricorn. Moon with 28° 15' is in 3rd Drekkan in sign Cancer. Therefore in Drekkan chart it will be placed in the sign 9th from it which is Pisces. Similarly other planets should be placed in Drekkan chart. In the case of Mahatma Gandhi the Drekkan chart would be as follows: Sm

L The chart is seen for brothers and sisters and happiness derived from them.

It also shows the number of sisters/brothers of the person concerned. 3. According to Varahamihira in Brihat Jatak if Moon is in his own or friendly Drekkan the person will be handsome and virtuous. If the Moon is in other Drekkan person will get the characteristic of the lord of Drekkan. This is the opinion also of Phala Deepika. according to which person will be handsome as well as rich. 4. If the Moon is in serpent Drekkan the person will be vindictive and excitable. The serpent Drekkans are Cancer II and III Scorpio I and II Pisces III If Moon is in armed Drekkan a person is fond of killing or murdering. If the Moon is in bird Drekkan, person is fond of travelling. The definition of these Drekkan a is given below. 5. Nature of death is ascertained through 22nd Drekkan. The lord of 22nd Drekkan is death inflicting. Its lord during its Dasha, if other factors corroborate, can be fatal or can give serious health problems. 6. Malefics in rising Drekkan and trines If Saturn is in the rising Drekkan and malefics are in other Trikonas, 5th and 9th places, it indicates a diseased body. Mars in place of Saturn in rising Drekkan denotes death, while Sun in such a situation indicates disease, deformity or death. Use of Drekkan is also made to locate nature of disease". Saravalli. How to Calculate 22nd Drekkan In the Rasi chart place the degrees of Lagna in the sign 8th from it. Ascertain its Drekkan in the normal way. The lord of the sign where this Drekkan falls is lord of 22nd Drekkan, In the normal Drekkan chart the lord of 8th house is lord of 22nd Drekkan. The ascendant is of 11 05 6' of sign Libra. Place these degrees in 8th sign from Lagna which is Taurus. Count from Taurus, since it is in the 2nd Drekkan, the Drekkan would fall in the sign 5th from it or in Virgo. If we see the Drekkan chart of Mahatma Gandhi we find that in this chart the 8th sign from Lagna is Virgo. The lord of Virgo is lord of 22nd Drekkan and hence is evil. (In the normal Drekkan chart lord of 8th is lord of 22nd Drekkan.) In all those cases where violent death has occurred involvement of Saturn, Mars Rahu Ketu would be there on 22nd

drekkan or Lagna of Drekkan chart would be afflicted with these planets. In the case of violent death of Mahatma Gandhi there is aspect of Saturn/Mars on 22nd Drekkan (8th house Drekkan chart). 4. Sex of Younger Brother If third house in Drekkan is a male sign and is occupied/ aspected by male planets and Mars is also strong a younger brother is born. 5. Auspicious moments to start journey Journey should not be made in Ayudh Drekkan as its effects would be defeat, litigation and loss. This rale can also be applied to sports teams embarking on ajourney to participate in world sports like test matches etc. Ayudh Drekkans are Aries I & III Gemini II & HI Leo I, II, & III Libra HI Sagittarius I & III Virgo II Aquarius I, II & III Journey in Sarpa Drekkan or Nigadh Drekkan leads to arrest SARPA DREKKAN are Cancer 11, & HI Drekkan Scorpio I & II

Distinguished Children '^Benefic Drekkans, occupied and aspected by benefics give eminently successful, happy, good and distinguished children." Jatak Parijat St 112 to 116. 10. Liberal Interpretation of Slokas Varahamihira describes the first Drekkan of Sagittarius as 'Face of a man with body of a horse holding a big bow.' This could be interpreted to mean a person of tremendous energy on the move always in execution of his plans. Experience has shown that persons bom in first Drekkan of Sagittarius have these qualities to a great extent. Profession Brihat Jatak in Adhyaya 23, Sloka 6, "If Saturn aspects Drekkan sign occupied by Mercury while in Kendra from Lagna, native is an artist." Medical Astrology If rising Drekkan is in middle and Saturn is in the 6th normally there is a backache to native. Similar would be the result if in Navamsa both 6, and 8 are afflicted. Lagna of D-12 will show what kind disease a person suffers from, airy, watery, fiery or earthy. 5. Chaturthamsa (D - 4) This chart is seen for fate, destiny or 'Bhagya', movable and immovable property and conveyance. Good use has been made of this chart in predicting construction or owning of houses. See my article in "Journal of Astrology", July, 1999. Each sign of 300 is divided into 4 parts of 7o30'. First part of planets/lagna falling from 1° to 7o30' falls in the sign itself. 2nd part from 7o30' to 15° fall in the sign 4th from it. The third part 15° to 22o30' falls in the sign 7th from it. The fourth part 22c'30' to 30° degrees falls in the sign 10th from it. Example In the case ofMahatma Gandhi's horoscope Lagna is of 11056' which is 2nd part hence the counting will start from the sign 4th from it. 4th from Libra is Capricorn. Hence the Lagna of Chaturthamsa would be Capricorn. Sun with 16055' is in 3rd part in Virgo, hence counting would start from the sign 7th from it. The 7th from Virgo is Pisces. In Chaturthamsa chart Sun would be placed in Pisces.

Ruhu 6. Saptamsa (D-7) This divisional chart is seen for children, happiness from them, their sex, and other related matters. See K.N. Rao's Book 'Planets and Children' for the effective use made of this chart. Each sign of 30 degrees is divided into 7 parts of 4° 17'each. In odd signs counting starts from the sign itself whereas in even signs counting starts 7th from the signs where the planet or Lagna falls. Example: Mahatma Gandhi's horoscope

In case of horoscope of Mahatma Gandhi Lagna is in odd sign with 11056' that is 3rd part the sign 3rd from Libra is Sagittarius hence the Lagna of Saptamsa would be Sagittarius. The Sun with 16055', is in 4th part. Since Virgo where Sun is located is even sign the counting would start in the sign 7th from it. The 7th from Virgo is

422


Pisces and 4th from Pisces is Gemini Sun would therefore be in Gemini in Saptamsa chart. Similarly the position of other planets should be worked out. The Saptamsa chart in case ofMahatma Gandhi would be as above. If in Saptamsa Lagna is in odd sign and is aspected/conjunct with benefic planets, son gives pleasure and happiness to father. If Lagna is even sign and is aspected by benefics etc. daughter is source of pleasure to father. If instead malefics aspect Lagna etc. opposite are the results. To see the Saptamsa chart you must study the condition of lagna lord and 5th lord. If they are strong and well placed that is aspected by benefics etc. then the children will give all type of pleasures to the parents and achieve name and status. According the Mansagri if in Lagna of Saptamsa, there is Moon or any other benefic planets then the person concerned strong (Prakarmi), famous (Pratapi), co-operative (Sahyogi) and is a warrior (Sahasi). He is friendly type and spreads happiness all around. If any planet is at the last saptamsha and is in own house and exalted then the person concern is fond of horse riding and does many dangerous things. This type of person lives away from friends and brothers. In the Dasha of exalted and benefic planets in Saptamsa the person proves to be lucky and receives the recognition from the king. If in the 3rd house of Saptamsa there is Sun, Mars or Jupiter then the person becomes rich by honest means. The exalted and strong planets in Saptamsa during their Dasha give money and happiness. In case they are debilitated or weak they give opposite results. 7. Trimsamsa This chart is seen for i) miseries and happiness. ii) evils or Arishta' hi) for study of character Each sign of 30 degrees is divided into 30 parts of 1 degree each.

As Jupiter is in even sign counting would start from Cancer. 3rd from Cancer is Virgo, so Jupiter in Chaturvimshamsa would be in Virgo. HOW TO READ THE CHART For education we normally see the 4th and the 5th houses. See the condition of these houses/lords not only in birth chart but also in Chaturvimshamsa chart. If they are also well placed in this Varga educational achievements will be high. See also the condition of the Dasha lord during the age when education career is being pursued. It will give you good idea regarding progress of education. Their placement in 6,8 or 12 or aspect by malefics would show interruption in education. 13.

Khavedamsa (D-40) Also known as Chatvarimshamsa is seen for studying the auspicious and inauspicious effects of horoscope on the native. Each sign of 30 degrees is divided into 40 parts of 0° 45' each. For odd signs counting starts from Aries and even signs from Libra. Suppose Moon is in Capricorn at 3° 25'. It is then in the 5th part. As Scorpio is an even sign the counting would start from Libra. 5th from Libra is Aquarius where Moon will be placed in Khavedamsa chart. 15. Akshvedamsa (D -45) This chart is seen for character and conduct of the native and also for the general auspicious and inauspicious effects. Each sign of 30 degrees is divided into 45 parts of 0° 40' each. Counting starts from Aries in movable signs, from Leo in fixed signs and Sagittarius from dual signs. Suppose Mercury is in Cancer 11 o50' degrees in 18th division. Cancer is movable sign, therefore counting would start from Aries. The 18th from Aries is Virgo where Mercury would be in Akshvedamsa chart. 16. Shashtiamsa Chart (D-60) Is seen for general auspiciousness and inauspicious indications. Each sign of 30 degrees is divided into 60 parts of 0o30 each. Ignore the sign position of the planet. Multiply the longitude of the planet by 2. Ignore minutes and divide the degrees by 12. Add 1 to remainder. The resultant figure may be counted from the sign where planet is posited. Example Suppose Saturn is in Aries at 13° 10'. Multiply by 2 and we get 26o20'. Ignore the minutes and divide the degrees by 12, we get 2 as remainder Add 1 to this and we get 3. Counting 3 from ARIES, the sign where Saturn is located we get Gemini, the sign in which Saturn will be placed in Shashtiamsa. Its lord is Mercury. Maharishi Parasara has given the names of Shashtiamsas which are read in direct order in case of odd signs and in reverse order in case of even signs. Presiding deities are benefic or malefic as their name suggest. Each Shashtiamsa is of 0° 30'. The names of presiding deities are:

The above Division of Shashtiamsa give us a good aid in prediction. For example if 2nd or 11 lord is Jupiter and is in the Shashtiamsha ofKubera, one becomes very wealthy. If the 7th lord is a benefic planet in the shashtiamsa ofNirmal, wife is pure. Similarly 7th lord as Venus in the Shashtiamsa of Chandramukhi makes her extremely beautiful Similarly if lord of a house is in malefic shashtiamsa, the signification of the house suffers.

Chapter XIX Yogas and Planetary Combinations What are Yogas Yogas in Astrology mean planetary combinations, which may give good or bad results depending upon the nature, condition and strength of the planets. Raj Yogas The Raj Yogas are the planetary combinations that give rulership, ministership, high rank and status. The planets/houses that are involved are Lagna/lagna lord, the Sun, 10th house and its lord, 7th house as it is 10th from 10th. According to Sarvarth Chintamani, 2nd house should also be considered for bestowel of Raj Yoga, as this is 5th from 10th. A native becomes ruler, Minister, Prime-Minister and President, if above houses and lords are strong. Lagna lord strong and aspecting Lagna is a major Raj Yoga. Even a debilitated planet aspecting Lagna gives Raj Yoga. According to Parasara even if a single planet aspects the natal Ascendant, or Hora Lagna or Ghatika Lagna, the native becomes a king. Importance of Shadvargas If the 'Shadvargas" (Rasi, Navamsa, Hora, Drekkan, Trimsamsa and Dwadasamsa) of the Ascendant is occupied or aspected by one and the same planet, a Raj Yoga is formed. Raj Yogas: According to K.N. Rao, Raj Yogas of highest type are nearly 25: i) When majority of these are present in the horoscope one rises to dizzy heights. ii) If some of these are present rise is to middle level, hi) If these are few rise in life is ordinary. Strength of Yogas and proper Dashas are also important. Dasha: Any planet connected with 10 house/ lord or 7 house/ lord gives honour and position provided it is well placed. Prominent Raj Yogas 1. Lords of 2 and 5 in 2, or 5, or in 9 and 10. 2. Lord of 2, and 11 in 10. 3. Rahu in 4,5,10, and 11. (in his Dasha)

KENDRA TRIKONA RELATIONSHIP According to Parasara the Kendras or angles are known as Vishnu Sthan' (house of Lord Vishnu), while Trikonas are called 'Lakshmi Sthans' or (houses of Goddess Lakshmi). If lord of Kendras establish relationship with a Trikona lord, it leads to Raj Yoga of a very high order. Lakshmi is the consort of Lord Vishnu the supreme god. Any relation between Trikona and Kendra lords has the blessings of both Sri Vishnu and Lakshmi and is very auspicious throughout the life of a person. Following are the conditions under which these connections between Trikona and Kendras are established. 1. Exchange between the two. 2. Mutual aspect. 3. Conjunction In addition to this, though to a lessor degree, is the relation if the two are in their own houses. These relations may also be checked from Navamsa also. Most important Raj Yoga is the connection of lords of 9 and 10. This is also known as Dharam Karam Adhipati Yoga. 10th is the most powerful Kendra and 9th is the most powerful Trikona. Uttar Kalamrita highly praises this Yoga. Kendra Trikona combination is so important that it overcomes slight blemish of lordship of 3, 6, 8. Relation of 4 and 5 lords makes one Minister or advisor to an institution and is also prosperity giving Yoga. The following Raj Yogas are taken from Uttarkalamitra. Relation between 9th and 10th lords from 10th house from Lagna. This means relations between 6 and 7 houses. Relation between 9th and 10th lords from 9th house from Lagna. This means relations between 5 and 6 houses. Relation between 9th and 10 lords from Sun. Relation of lord of Rasi where Moon is located to Lagna and Navamsa lord of Moon.

If placed in one Rasi it makes a man very fortunate. Note: Definition of Atma Karka -The natural Atma Karka or significator of soul is Sun. However, the term used here is as per Jaimini Astrology. Here Atma Karka is the planet which has attained the highest longitude in the horoscope. To measure longitude we omit rasi in which planets are placed. The 5th planet in descendant order in longitude from Atma Karka is known as Putrakarka. 2. According to Dr. B .R. Raman Navamsa Lagna and Atma Karka in the same sign cause a powerful Raj Yoga. 3. Three planets in exaltation make one very learned; three in own house a Minister; three debilitated an idiot, three exalted in Rasi but occupying evil Navamsa make one unhappy and wicked.' — Chandrakala Nadi (The Tamil Jatakalankara says that one with 3 debilitated planets becomes a slave/ servant of a famous person.) 4. If Atmakarka is in a benefic Rasi / Navamsa the native will be wealthy. If there are benefics in Karkamsa Lagna, he will be king-Parasara. 5. Arudha Lagna and 'Darapad' in mutual Kendras or Trikonas or 3/11 from each other. The definition of these Karkas which are used by Jaimini is given at the end of this chapter. 6.

Neech Bhanga Raj Yogas Neech means debilitated, Bhanga means breaking. When a Yoga neutralises the effect of a debilitated planet it is known as Neech Bhanga Raj Yoga. This becomes effective under following conditions. 1. If the Rasi of the lord where the debilitated planet is located (this is known as the dispositor of the debilitated planet), is exalted in the horoscope, it gives rise to 'Neech Bhanga' Raj Yoga. Example: Jupiter gets debihtated in Capricorn Rasi. If in a horoscope it is debihtated, i.e. is in Capricorn, then if in that horoscope lord of Capricorn i.e. Saturn is exalted, it gives rise to Neech Bhanga Raj Yoga. 2. If a debilitated planet is in conjunction with another planet who is exalted, the debihtation gets cancehed. Example Venus as debilitated planet is placed in Virgo, but it is with Mercury who is exalted there the debilitation gets cancelled. Same would be the position if Saturn as debilitated planet is with Sun in Aries, or Sun in Libra is with Saturn. According to 'Kumar Swamyan', a celebrated book on astrology in Tamil, this is only cancehed if the planets are in Kendra from Moon. 3.

5.

If dispositor of the planet (lord of the sign), where debhitated planet is located is in its own sign, even then the debihtation is cancelled. According to Phala Deepika if the debihtated planet is aspected by the lord of the house in which it is located, even then the debhitation is cancelled. The lord of the sign in which a planet is debhitated should be in Kendra to Moon or Lagna. Results: Neech Bhanga Raj Yoga gives as good a result as an exalted planet, but not without some kind of initial trouble or scandal.

From Lagna i) Lagan Adhi Yoga or Chandra Adhi Yoga According to Varahamihira ifbenefics occupy the 6, 7 and 8th houses from Moon, the Yoga is known as Adhi Yoga. A person bom in this Yoga will become a general, a minister or a king, and will be in enjoyment of great pleasures and wealth, with subdued enemies, long life and free from disease and fear. Brihat Parasara Hora Shastra "Should the benefics be in 6, 7 and 8 from Lagna devoid of conjunction /aspect of malefics, Lagan Adhi Yoga is produced making one good person, learned in Shastras and happy." It also speaks of benefics in 6, 7 and 8 from Moon causing this Yoga. These benefics, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus may be together in one sign, or distributed in two, or three signs, in any way. Vaidyanath restricts Lagan Adhi Yoga to the condition that 6, 7, and 8 should not be occupied or aspected by any malefic nor should a malefic occupy the 4th the house of happiness. It may be noted that 6,7, and 8th are the 9th, 10th, and 11th from 10th (all indicative of wealth and reputation). This Yoga guarantees commanding position for the native.

Adhi Yoga is a Raj Yoga. For it to be effective, it is desirable, that three benefics are strong and well placed ,not combust, eclipsed or debilitated and not combined with malefics. And Moon should be strong and full. Though it is a simple Yoga, Adhi Yoga is all the same a great Yoga, giving wealth position and power. Strength of 6 and 8 gives success in medical profession. In Chandra Adhi Yoga mental side is more involved and it rules out mental afflictions. ii) Amala YogaThis Yoga is formed when there is a benefic in the 10th from Ascendant or from Moon. This benefic should be without any malefic aspects. A pure Amala Yoga gives lasting fame for years to come. According to texts with this Yoga one is honoured by the king, has power, is pious-charitable and virtuous and helpful to others. iii) Vasumati Yoga-Benefics in 3, 6, 10, 11 - give great wealth. iv) Lagan Adhipati and Dhanadhipati, lord of 1 and 2, related to each other 4 kinds of Dhanayogas are formed. v) Parijat Yoga: Normally a planet is strong if in addition to it being strong itself, its dispositor i.e. lord of the Rasi in which it is located is also strong. (A planet is strong if it is exalted, is in its own house, in Kendra Trikona, in friendly Rasi aspected by benefics etc.). In Parijat Yoga, which is a powerful Raj Yoga the emphasis is in second dispositor of Lagna lord being strong. It goes like this, ascertain the Rasi -in which Lagna lord is located. Call it A'. See in which Rasi the lord of A' has gone. Call it 'B'. If lord of 'B'is in a Kendra, Trikona or in its own house or in exaltation sign Parijat Yoga is caused. Another version; Ascertain the Rasi in which Lagna lord is placed. Again call it A'. Locate where the lord of A is posited in Navamsa. If it is in Kendra, Trikona own house or exalted, Parijat Yoga is caused. Result: Possesses elephants and horses- meaning is very rich, generous, and respected by the government.

If Parijat Yoga is combined with Sanyas Yoga the person is widely respected and recognised and holds spiritual authority over hundreds and thousands. Even kings pay homage to him. It is better if there are no planets in 6 and 8 because it makes one free from enemies and debts. It is more of a wealth giving Yoga rather than political power giving Raj Yoga. vijParvata Yoga: This Yoga is formed if benefics are in Kendras while, 7 and 8 are vacant or occupied by benefics only. According to Phala Deepika Lagna lord should be in Kendra, Trikona, exalted or in its own sign. Result: modest, virtuous, famous king. b) According to Jatak Parijat this Yoga is formed in two ways. i) benefics in angles; 8 and 12 free, one planet in 9 strengthens this Yoga. ii) Lagna lord and 12 lord in mutual angles and aspected by friendly planets. The Tamil edition of Parasara Hora describes this Yoga in two forms, benefics in Kendras and 6. Alternatively benefics should be in angles and ninth house. There is another version of Parvat Yoga given in Phala Deepika according to which the dispositor of Ascendant lord should be in his own sign or Mooltrikona sign identical with an angle or trine from Lagna. According to Jatakadesa Marga if Lagna, 7th or 10th are occupied by planets while 8 and 12 are unoccupied this Yoga is formed. There is no mention of benefics or malefics in angles. Hora Sara has an jdentical version. Thus benefics in angles give most potent results which take place in their Dashas. 4.

It is our experience that undue importance should not be given to this Yoga and the horoscope should be seen in totality. How Formed? If in a horoscope all planets are located between Rahu and Ketu, this Yoga is caused. Supposed Results: If this combination occurs in the annual mundane chart of a country it will strike disaster. It will bring war and destruction unparalleled in history. Country will face defeat and its people will go through an agonizing time. War, starvation, diseases and epidemics would follow. In individual horoscopes it will destroy the family of the person concerned. He will face much hardship. His property and wealth will disappear and his career may come to an end. His relations and friends may be the cause of sorrow and abandon him. No reference has been made in classical books about this Yoga and if horoscope is strong otherwise, the Lagna lord and lord of nine are strong, benefics are in Kendra Trikona, malefics are in 3, 6 and 11 and adequate good Raj Yogas exit with proper Dashas one may ignore harmful effects of this Yoga. Dr. Raman is of the opinion that this Yoga is defunct. 1. If a single planet is with Rahu or Ketu or outside the axis of Rahu and Ketu. 2. The evil gets neutralized if the Lagna is between Rahu & Ketu. However evil gets intensified if Lagna is between Ketu and Rahu. It is also the opinion of some of the astrologers that this is not operative if planets are hemmed between Ketu and Rahu, others hold different view. 21. Matsya Yoga Benefics in Lagna and the 9th house. Mixed planets in the 5th and malefics in 4 and 8: Result: Astrologer, kind, virtuous, strong, beautiful, famous, learned and pious. Note: According to some versions malefics should be in 9th and not benefics. According to Jatak Parijat malefics should be in

Theft occurs when lords of 2/11 are in 6 and are connected with Mars / Saturn. When lords of 2 and 6 are aspected by malefics, Mars/ Saturn. 22. KahalaYoga 1. According to one version lords of 4 and 9 posited in Kendra from each other while Lagna lord is strong. 2 According to this 4th lord Jupiter should be in angles while Lagna lord is strong 3. According to another version 4th lord should be in its own sign or sign of exaltation and should be conjunct with 10th Lord. Result: The person is energetic, adventurous, cunning, has an army and is lord of few villages. Mantreshwar puts Kahal Yoga as differently, according to which dispositor of Ascendant lord should be in exaltation or own sign identical with a trine or an angle. This makes a man kind, noble, prosperous and benevolent. Nabhas Yogas Reference to these Yogas have been made by Parasara Hora Shastra and Saravalli. According to Parasara results of these Yogas are felt throughout life irrespective of Dasha periods. According to him there are 32 Nabhas Yogas which have a total of 1800 different varieties.

Part B Mundane Astrology Chapter I Mundane Astrology is that branch of Astrology which deals with the worldly events, like war and peace, earthquakes, floods, famines, droughts, plagues, communal riots and strife, rise and fall of nations, duration of the governments, death and abdication of the head of the state, economy of the country, general prosperity and economic recession and major political events which affect the nation and life of people as such. Importance of Mundane Astrology Varahamihira in his monumental work Brihat Samhitahas said that "Just as the night devoid of lights is utterly blind, and the Sun dark, even so will a king grope in life in dark like a blind man on the way, if he is not guided by a good Astrologer". He has also said that a single astrologer i.e. one who studies the course of destiny can achieve what a thousand elephants and four times as many horses cannot do. Signification of Planets in Mundane Astrology Sun Represents persons in power, kings, prime Ministers, government, heads of state, big commercial firms, new undertakings, judges and persons in authority, honour, fame, big name and reputation earned, influence in the comity of nations, leadership and guidance to other powers. It also represents bureaucracy, political, religious and influential business people. If Sun is afflicted the nation becomes conceited and self centered. Moon People in general or common men, agriculture, liquids, milk, groceries, women in general, democracy, matters of common and public nature. Fishing industry and navigation, oceans and pearls, water transport, nursing profession, air hostesses, merchants, clothing business, travelling agencies and salesmen. When Moon is heavily afflicted in the horoscope it would mean important changes are going to take place which may portend ill for

Mundane Astrology Chapter in Ruling Signs of Countries Ptolemy, who is the father of the Western Astrology, has divided the whole world into various signs. Other astrologers subsequently modified this list. While this list cannot be depended upon, experience has shown that by and large this gives accurate results. Ptolemy's distribution in 2nd century A.D. was more or less Nirayana as Aynamsa was at that time one or one and a half degrees. Varahamihira has devoted two chapters in assigning constellations to various regions of India and some adjoining countries. These have been allotted on the basis of Nakshatras or constellations, which more or less have stood the test of time. The scheme on which this has been divided is known as Koorma Chakra, which has been described separately. Ruling Sign of India: 1. Since Varahamihira's time India comes under the sign Capricorn. There is no doubt that Capricorn governs some parts of Northern India. Dr. B. V. Raman, however, considers Virgo to be India's ruling sign as Virgo (Kanya) symbolizes Kanyakumari, the southern most tip of India. 2. Delhi the Capital of India is governed by the sign Scorpio (Vrischik). 3. India got her independence on 15th August 1947 at midnight. At that time the sign rising was Taurus (Vrishab). The independence horoscope of India is given separately. The story behind time chosen is given by K.N. Rao in an illuminating article "How Hindu Astrologers Saved the Nation", in Journal of Astrology July— September 1997. 4. India was declared a Republic on 26th January 1956 in Bharani Nakshatra. The sign rising was Meena and the horoscope is given separately. USA: Astrologers differ, but more or less majority allots Gemini (Mithun) as the ruling sign of the Independence Day of 4th July 1776. The timings of holding the convention at Philadelphia are not certain. Rao thinks the mling sign could be Leo as it is giving better results. This has been discussed by him in the article in Journal of Astrology in the issue of January — March 2002.

Mundane Astrology Chapter V Mundane Astrology- Important charts and Principles Following factors must be considered. 1. Horoscope of the country concerned. For India the horoscope of Independent India 14/15 August, 1947, 00:01 AM, New Delhi. Lagna Taurus or Vrishabha. 2. Any thing relating to Constitution, Republic Day Horoscope 26.01.1950. Lagna Meena or Pisces. 3. Horoscope of Hindu New Year which sets the trend for M year. Chaitra Shukla Paksh Prati Pada. New Moon— Sun and Moon are in Meena Rasi. This date has to be referred to from Panchanga. For the year 2002 the date was 13th April 00:51 hrs. The Lagna was Dhanu. This would give a fairly good picture of what is to come in the year under review. 4. Entry of Sun in movable Rasis, 1, 4, 7 and 10. (Mesha Karka Tula and Makar). The entry of Sun in cardinal points Rasis Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn is important. Horoscopes of entry time in these Rasis be made and result assessed. Entry of Sun in rest of Rasis is also made use of. This is known as Surya Vithi or time & entry of Sun in all the 12 Rasis, representing 12 months of the year. 5. Horoscope of the New Moon and full Moon every month to see immediate results. This will give results with reference to particular country, each fortnight. For example the lunation takes place in Makar Rasi and Rahu and Saturn are there. Then the country represented by Makar suffer greatly. Its people are discontented and restless, nation as a whole faces bad times, Cabinet is shaky for that particular month. During the same month this lunation might have taken place in the 10th house of some country which shows there might be death of the President or Prime Minister. Lawlessness will prevail and there may be signs of revolution. If the combination occurs in the 51h house there would be set back to educational system and entertainment industry in the third house, of some country would dismpt rail system and communication. In 2nd house of another country there will be

497

financial chaos, retrenchment and falling exports. Thus the evil effects will happen all over the world in one form or the other. 6. Planetary Cabinet Seven planets change portfoho every year. These portfolios are kings, Prime Minister, commander in chief, lord of vegetation, lord of minerals, lord of juices, grain, cattle etc. The planet which is king in one year may becomes Prime Minister next year. These details are given in Panchang of each year. 7. Role of Sun, Moon and Mars The Sun and Moon are generally royal planets; if in any year either of these do not become the king, then royalty suffers. Similarly Mars is permanent commander in chief. If in any year he does not become the commander in chief, the army and navy in that year suffer. All these details must be considered. The affliction to Royal Planets set a trend for the events affecting government each year. 8. Role of Eclipses Eclipses (graham) play a great role in national astrology. The influence will be exercised for a period of six months before and six months after the appearance. The effect of eclipses will be felt in countries where these are visible. If two eclipses, one solar and one lunar, occur within 14 days, there will generally be national disaster like war, assassinations etc. There were two eclipses in March 1914 within 14 days, and Suryanarain Rao predicted the outbreak of the World War I. Eclipses have great significance in Mundane Astrology. Eclipses also affect leaders and nations. Eclipse take place along Rahu /Ketu axis. 9. Comets Appearance of Comets and directions in which they appear should be considered. The countries represented by the signs in which comets appear normally suffer. Varahamihira of Brihat Samhita has written in details about it.

498


It has been recorded in history that when large comets made their appearance great misfortunes have fallen in the shape of earthquakes, famines, and wars. In 1903 a comet was discovered in the sign Aquarius which represents war and in 1905 an important event in the form of Russo Japanese War took place in which the Japanese defeated the Russians .It was an event of most importent significance in which a European Nation was for the first time defeated by an Asian country. This was presage for rise of nationalism in the most of Asia and Far East. Prior to appearance of Haley Comet whose return occurred in 1910, there were great changes in the world like earthquakes and famines followed by Chinese revolution of 1911. It is said that comets appearing in the east presage the birth of a New Prophet, in the west in cardinal signs they show trouble as they represent wars and invasions. The comets appearing in the signs representing particular countries show trouble in that part of the world. 10. Earthquakes This is a fertile subject for study and research. Following principles should be noted: 1. Result of eclipses in fixed signs in Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius especially in Taurus and Scorpio. In this connection it is important that some planets like Saturn form an aspect to point of eclipse. 2. These are also the result of conjunctions of planets if they take place in the fourth house of a nation. 3. Jupiter in Taums or Scorpio forming an evil aspect with Mercury. 4. Earthquakes happen if there are many planets in the four cardinal Rasis, Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn. 5. The timing of the new Moon is important.

The day 15th August, 1947, chosen for Independence Day was most inauspicious. There was a combination of five planets Wlt h Sun and Saturn in Cancer or Karkha. Moon was weak and Rahu was in Taurus, a source of wars and bloodshed as has been discussed later in separate articles.

500


In 1947, when the English rulers had decided to grant independence to India on 15th August Hardeo SharmaTrivedi, a famous Astrologer, and publisher of Shri Vishwa Vijay Panchang (almanac) in Hindi, and Surya Narain Vyas of Ujjain, told Dr. Rajendra Prasad, who was later became first President of India that it was not an auspicious day. When it became necessary to stick to 15 August, Hardeo Sharma Trivedi chose midnight for three reasons. 1. Moon would have entered Pushya Nakshatra a 'Mahan' Nakshatra, most favoured for Muhurata. 2. It should be midnight at Abhijit Muhurata calculated as follows Sunrise on August 15, 05 hrs. 33 min., 31 Seconds Sunset 18 hrs. 57 min., 31 Seconds Time for next sunrise counted from Sunset 10 hrs. 36 minutes Half of which is 5:18 Add to sunset time. This comes to midnight 12 hrs. 15 minutes. 24 minutes before or after 12:15 is Abhijit Muhurata. 3. Lagna rising would be Taurus or (Vrishabha), a fixed sign, favoured for foundation of buildings etc. Sir Woodrow Wyatts has mentioned the names of these astrologers in an article on May 1988 in the Central page of the Times, London. "This is how the Indian astrologers saved the nation." (Pakistan has already broken into two because of their not believing in Astrology and choosing movable or Char Lagna.)

In the independence horoscope, 10thlord Saturn is conjunct with 4 other planets and Moon weak. It is Sanyas Yoga in the house of preaching. Luckily Moon is in Pushya Nakshatra which is a saving grace. Fortunately there is also Gajkesari Yoga. In Republican Horoscope, 10th lord Jupiter, is debilitated in 11 th house with 6 and 8 lords. It explains why we had so many, amendments to the constitution some of which atrocious. We put restrictions on Hindus by Hindu Code bill but none on Muslims for marrying 2nd time. During Rajiv Gandhi time in 1985-86. Shah Banu judgement given by Supreme Court was nullified by amendment. 5. While in the case of Independent India we have two Yoga Karka dashas of Saturn and Mercury Republican horoscope was the worst. It started with Ketu Dasha, followed by most unfortunate Venus and Sun lords of 8 and 6. 6. Republican Horoscope has three retrograde planets. Other Horoscopes Used for Giving Yearly/Mundane Predictions: The soli — lunar new year commences from the time of Chaitra Shukla Pratipada during the end of Amavasya coincides with the beginning of Shukla Pratipada. Moon and Sun are conjunct in Meena Rasi. Ruler of the day or Vaar when Pratipada is running at sunrise is designated as lord of the year.

And in Moon's Bhinashtak Varga, Gemini has a zero benefic point. Moon is the mind and whenever Lagna lord transits in the Rasi of Gemini having no Bindu, the whole political body of India suffers.

King Dashratha was warned that this would lead to terrible famine and also war. Dashratha reached Shani Yuga, he was greeted by Saturn and is told that as a result of Saturn's nature all would be destroyed. Somehow Dashratha was saved. Saturn was happy with Dashratha as later had paid him respect and praised him to ask for a boon. Dashratha asked Saturn to save the world from the agony of wars and famine. Dashratha recited famous Neel Shani Stotra Saturn and DashrathaSatum in Rohini "Causes Rohini Shakat Bhedan Yoga" - which causes, wars, famine and communal riots. K.N. Rao, researches Prism of Prediction in 1984 and in Journal of Astrology 1997 April- June has shown that Saturn in Robin has meant war 1.

Communal riots in India 27.2.2002 — 57 people mostly Kar-Sewaks were killed when four bogies of Ahmedabad bound Sabarmati express were set on fire at Godhra railway station in Gujarat on 27.2.2002 by the Musbm mobs. The bain was carrying Kar Sewaks returning from Ayodhya after participating in 'Poorna Ahuti Yagya' a precursor to constmction of Ram Temple. There were over 2000 attackers. Riots spread all over Gujarat. 28.02.2002 more than 150 people were killed. Riots spread to Ahmedabad which was the worst effected and other towns of Gujarat. Riots spread in other parts of (Gujarat. Rajkot, Surat, Vadodaras). Riots in Haryana, Kaithal, where religious structure were demolished. Incidents reported in Punjab Kapurthala. In UP vehicles damaged in Kanpur.

Chapter IX Planetary Cabinet and King (Raja) of the year / Cloud etc. To predict events for the annual year it is necessary to make Planetary Cabinet for the particular year. King of the Year : There is some controversy regarding choosing king of the year. Various Indian Panchangs (ephemeris) use different systems. The most acceptable principle is that Lord of year should be the lord of the day on which Hindu New Year starts. (Hindu New Year starts on Chaitra Shukla Paksha Prati Pada as explained earlier). For the year 2003, the Hindu New Year started on April 1, at 24hrs 49 minutes (see page 22 of Lehri's Indian Ephemeris). This according to English calendar is 2nd April, 2003 which is Wednesday. Raja or King for 2003 would be Mercury, lord of Wednesday. However, according to "Kalaprakasika", an ancient classical text the Raja or king of the year is the planet which is mling the day (day of the week) on which Sun enters the first point of Aries. For example for the year 2003 the Sun entered Aries on 14th April 2003 at 11 hr 47 minutes. On 14th April it was Monday. The lord of Monday is Moon. Hence the Raja or King of the year would be Moon. But this method of choosing lord of the year does not find favour with other school of thought. The accepted principle is to make Mantri or Prime Minister lord of day on which Sun enters Aries. I Mantri or Prime Minister: The Minister is decided on the basis of the planet which rules the day on which on Sun enters first point of Aries. In 2003, Sun entered Aries on April 14 at 11 hrs 47 minutes which was Monday. Hence Prime Minister for 2003 was Moon. Lord of Paddy Crops is decided on the basis of the planet which rules the day on which Sun enters firs point of Cancer. Sun entered Cancer on July 16 at 26 hrs 13 minutes. It was Wednesday (sunrise to next sunrise). Lord is Mercury.

512


Lord of Fruits and Vegetation is decided on the basis of the planet which rules the day on which Sun enters first point of Libra. In 2003 this was on 17 October 22 hrs 32 minutes which was Friday. The lord was Venus. Lord of Mineral kingdom is decided on the basis of the planet which rules the day on which Sun enters first point of Capricorn. Sun's entry in Capricorn was on 14 January 2003, at 17 hrs 25 minutes which was Tuesday. Lord of the day was Mars. Lord of Clouds is decided on the basis of the planet which rales the day on which Sun enters first point of Ardra. Sun entered Sunday June 22 at 14 58. The lord is Sun. Lord of Corns is decided on the basis of the planet which rules the day on which Sun enters first point of Sagittarius. Sun entry into Sagittarius was on Tuesday 16 December 2003 at 12 hrs 59 minutes. Lord is Mars. Lord of Fluids is decided on the basis of the planet which rules the day on which Sun enters first point of Gemini. The Sun entered Gemini on Sunday, 15 June at 15 hrs 19 minutes. The lord was Sun.

Chapter X Mundane-Rasi Sanghatta Chakra - Nakshatra Sanghatta Chakra Taken from article by K.N. Rao "Prism of a Prediction". Use of Chakras in Mundane Astrology In the Padma Purana there is the story of Lord Dashratha being warned by astrologers that Saturn's entry'in Rohini (Taurus 10° to 13o20') cause devastating war. India was involved in both world wars 1914-18 and 193945 when Saturn was in Rohini. And in 1971 there was war with Pakistan. It has been observed that when other malefics like Rahu Ketu transit in Rohini and are aspected by Mars, war or war like situation takes place. In the months of May and June 1984 concentration of planets in Rohini aspected by Mars opened a chapter ofblood stained history in Punjab. In the context of Punjab problem it may be seen that no war or war like situation can take place unices Saturn. Mars and Rahu meet and plan out scheme of destruction. An important Chakra prescribed by lord Shiva which a great Mahatma had recommended to K.N. Rao is Sanghatta Chakra of two types, one for the Rasi. Other for the Nakshatras. Many a times when Parasara aspect seem to be absent, Chakra aspects ignite. In the 30th May 1984, eclipse it would appear that Saturn and Rahu not mutually aspecting each other but now look at the Sanghatta chart.

Chapter XI Conjunction - Opposition of Planets (Based on Articles by K.N. Rao) In mundane astrology conjunction of heavy planets is extremely important. These indicate great events and changes and are turning points in the history of nations. Whenever, Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Rahu/Ketu, any two planets conjoin or come in opposition or are in Kendra from each other important events happen. I Saturn Jupiter is the most important conjunction which occurs every 20 years. The first conjunction falling in each triplicity is known as "Great Mutation" has a very important and lasting effect, and when the places of other conjunctions, eclipses, and lunation which occur after it fall thereon, or in opposition thereto, major events are triggered. Results of this Conjunction: 1. Dr. B.V. Raman observes that U.S.A President elected under or about the time of this combination dies in office. Instances have been given of death of President Garfield, Abraham Lincoln, President Roosevelt and President Kennedy. 2. In recent history on 8 August, 1940, the Saturn - Jupiter conjunction took place in Aries. Both the planets become retrograde and again became conjunct on 10 October 1940. The results were 1. Intensification of Civil Disobedience movement in India which ultimately led to India's independence 2. Attack on Russia by Hitler. 3. Japan's attack on Pearl Harbour. , Attack on Pearl Harbour, 7th November 1941 MarR

Again this conjunction took place in 1961 which had far reaching implications. In India the Chinese started nibbling at Indian territory which ultimately led to the humiliating defeat of India in October 1962. In Unites States there was a great fiasco at 'Bay of Pigs' and there was great confrontation of USA with Russia over missile crisis in Cuba and both the countries came very much close to a nuclear war. There was birth of great Civil Rights movement for grant of equal rights to black Americans who lived there in pitiable conditions since the era of slavery . Rest of the world saw end of colonial era. New states won their freedom. The Americans suffered a humiliating defeat in Vietnam According to K.N. Rao it is necessary to remember that dramatic changes do not happen immediately after the conjunction or opposition of Saturn and Jupiter. It is only when Mars conjoins or aspects it, the process appears very dramatic, violent and is remembered as a historical landmark In 1989: September November, Saturn and Jupiter opposed each other (Saturn in Sagittarius and Retrograde Jupiter in Gemini), accelerated the i process of historical world changes. The collapse of Berlin wall and break up of the Soviet Union. In Russia it gave birth to Pereestroika and Glasnost, the reforms initiated by Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev

The Gulf war started with the American attack on Iraq in January 1991, Saturn, Jupiter were in opposition, Sun, Saturn, Moon and Rahu were within 1 degree and there was exact conjunction of Saturn - Rahu on 21 January 1991 in Capricorn. The air attack of US forces on Iraq began.

In India Rajiv Gandhi was assassinated on 21 May 1991. There was opposition of Jupiter, Mars with Saturn. II According to Kumaraswamiyam "If Saturn, Mars and Rahu conjoin or oppose each other, there will be heavy loss of human life all over the world." The conjunction of Mars and Jupiter occurs every twenty seven months, conjunction of Mars and Saturn about every two years, conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn every twenty years etc. These conjunctions have serious repercussions in the signs in which these take place and their effects last for considerable Ill-Saturn Rahu Conjunction, Opposition and Kendras position from each other: Rahu Saturn is an evil combination. This is the combination of two destructive energies and bring much misery in the world. Rahu is also a Muslim and a foreigner. Indian History is replete with the instances when this combination has brought misery to Hindus on an unprecedented scale. Mohammed Bin-Qasim invaded Sindh in AD 711-712, defeated King Dahar. "For three days the inhabitants of Debacle were ruthlessly slaughtered. The local temple was defiled and

He crossed Yamuna on 2nd December, 1018. Defeated local kings. Hindu womenjumped into the river to save themselves from being dishonoured. But his greatest atrocities were committed in the sacred city of Mathura. This city was studded with magnificent temples. The city had an aura of grandeur. Muslim historians had estimated the worth of temples hundreds and crores of rupees in those days. It is estimated that masons must have taken 200 years to complete them. Among the large number of idols in the temple, five were made of pure gold, the eyes of one of them were laid with two rubies worth one hundred thousand Dinars, and other had a sapphire of a very heavy weight. All these five idols yielded gold weighing 98,300 Miskals. The idols made of silver numbered 200. The city has been said to be raised to the ground and all temples set ablaze. The idols of gold and silver were looted. The choicest of women were raped and carried away in slavery and the city was pillaged for 20 days.

Venus - 3.9.1989 to 3.9.2009: Advent of TV - Beauty contests western style morals and living, Mahadasha Venus- Jupiter - 4.11.99 to 5.7.2002. This would be followed by Venus Saturn from 5.7.2002 to 3.9 2005. Interpretation of Mahadasha of Venus: Advent of TV. Telecommunication revolution in India as Venus as Lagna lord is making excellent Raj Yogas with Yoga Karkas Saturn as also with lord of 2nd and five as also with lord of wealth and 5th house Mercury which has led to phenomenal progress of IT industry and India earning huge reserves of foreign exchange. In telecom sector India has become one of the most advanced countries in the world. There is also great progress in film industry with films like Lagaan and Devdas becoming big hits in the international arena. Today Bollywood is vying with Hollywood in glamour, name and fame. This Dasha has also seen Indian girls earning world beauty titles and great strides in producing jewellery and fashion designs. Since Venus is with Saturn there is departure from the traditional values. There will be much exposure of sex and fashion shows. Indian women will break away from traditional shackles and take important roles in music, dance drama, TV, films and beauty contests. The Dasha of Venus as Lagna lord would have made India one of the most progressive states but for the fact that Venus is combust. Its closeness to Saturn has also given diseases like Aids and addiction to drugs etc. Venus is also the 6* lord of war and diseases and since there is concentration of planet in the third house of neighbours the border wars has become a permanent feature of India. There will be onslaught of diseases. As it is spread of AIDS is taking alarming proportion. Venus is also with Saturn the planet of masses and depressed classes or Dalits who will influence the political set up in the country. Saturn is also Yoga Karka being lord of 9Ih and 10th. Hence the caste considerations will have upper hand in the polity of the nation. Being Yoga Karka Saturn would also mean that the masses especially the Dalits, OBCs and the Schedule castes,


529

schedule tribes would have a major say in formation of governments. The aristocracy and upper castes would be relegated to a secondary position. The Antardasha lord is Jupiter, lord of 8lh and 11th for this Lagna and hence malefic. It is in the enemy Rasi also, that makes it unprincipled and braggadocio. In the sign of Venus in the 6th it becomes fond of sex and high life without much moral values. However, there will be great interest in music and art. Though the music and dance would not be of traditional values but more of Bhangra and Rap type. It is also aspecting the 9th and 12th lord Mars and is making Vipreet Raj Yoga by being 8th lord in the 6th. While there be gains in foreign related enterprises not much progress would be made in creating communal harmony. Jupiter is placed in Uppachaya house where this is aspecting tenth, twelfth and 2nd house of wealth. As Uppachaya house this would give increasingly good results, since this is house of growth. As Karka for wealth it is aspecting tenth house as also the second house which is good for the finances of the country. However, for lord of eleven to be in the 6th is not good for financial gains.

The 12m April was Friday. Technically, Saturday starts at midnight at 00.00 Hrs when date changes but According to Hindu calendar day is from sunrise to sunrise. Therefore, lord of the year would be Venus of Friday and not Saturn of Saturday as some Panchangs state. The results of different planets becoming lord of a particular year have been given in a separate chapter. In this particular case Venus is the Raja. Venus has got the evil lordship of six and 11 in this horoscope. It is also in 'Pap Kartari' Yoga and one of its signs Taums has three malefics Mars Saturn and Rahu. It is/however, in the auspicious fifth house aspecting its own house of gains and it is also with the 10lh lord meaning the Prime Minister of the country inspite of the criticism would remain popular and country would be well off financially inspite of setbacks. The results of Venus as lord of the year is given by Varahamihira as follows: "During the year presided over by Venus there will be happiness and prosperity all round". There will be food and water, wining and dining and merry making. There will be victory to the kings, and the enemies will be humbled. (It will be a Feel Good year!) The First House Lagna is aspected by its own lord which gives the nation health and vitality. It is aspected by Jupiter, which is a planet for expansion and optimism. Since it is aspecting from the 7th house the relations with a prosperous country


531

(USA) would be good who will understand India's point of view. Lagna is also aspected by afflicted Mars from the 6th house, house of war (Enemy will create troubles but nation has the strength to face the enemy and come out victorious.) Second House Lord of the second house is Saturn. It is in the 6th house with Mars and Rahu. The position of lord of wealth is not good in the 6th house. Here it is with Mars meaning expenditure on armaments. Since this is also with Rahu, great deal of money will be spent on defense in a war like condition. Third House Third lord in the 6th means border clashes. Third lord Mars is with Saturn and Rahu which shows heightened crisis at the border and likelihood of war. Since third lord is Mars it may cause accidents in railways, fire and agitation. It is also a Vipreet Raj Yoga which means great strides in telecommunication, satellites launching, radio and television. (Rahu is radio). Steel and defense production (Mars). Fourth House Sun is the 9th lord with 8th lord Moon in the fourth house. Ram Janam Bhoomi controversy will revive. There will be criticism of the government though because of presence of Sun and its dispositor Jupiter in the 7th (Pad Prapati) government will remain fully entrenched inspite of criticism. There will be new finds in underground mines and minerals. The problem relating to religious matters like Ram Janam Bhoomi may be initiated in secrecy or since the 8th lord is involved there are chances of its breakdown. Fifth House Fifth house relates to children, birth rate, education, all forms of national pleasures and entertainment, theatre, cinema sports, public park, speculation and stock

532

Analysing Horoscope Through Modern Techniques exchange. Morals, immorality, scandals, crimes relating to immorality. High society and functions. Upper house of Parliament, Rajya Sabha, House of lords schools, educational places Ambassadors and diplomats from foreign countries Danger to ruler as it is 8th from 10th. There is interchange between 5th and 6th lords. This is also interchange of Mars and Venus. Entertainment take form of vulgarity, nudity and sex exploitation which is depicted in film and literature, magazines etc. There are two benefics in the fifth house. Mercury as lord of tenth and 7th in fifth is creating a Raj Yoga while there is interchange between 5th and sixth house where Rahu is located. Rahu is also exalted. While entertainment industry will flourish and there might be big gains from IT industry (because of Rahu), since 5* lord is in the sixth also and is with malefics the gains may not be as great as anticipated. Since this house is also 8th from tenth it shows longevity of government. Since there are two benefic planets in this house, government will continue to remain in office but because of interchange with the 6th there will remain bickering among the cabinet members and not so savory incidents may take place. Fifth in the sixth may also mean illness amongst children and problems in the educational field. Since fifth also deals with stock exchanges, two benefics here may show stability but interchange with the 6th is not good for the healthy grow of stock exchange.

Sixth House Sixth House represents armed forces, territorial attacks war also. Labour classes, labour unions strikes, State loans and debts. Medical and other services and diseases in general. The presence of three malefics will create war like frenzy. India and Pakistan had both mobilized their troops in May -June and were poised for a war. The Prime Minister Shri Vajpayee had even asked Jawans to be prepared for the final war. Since there was an interchange with the 5th house


533

there was a last minute withdrawal from the brink because of heavy pressure from USA. There were chances that war may go nuclear as President of Pakistan Musharaff had openly claimed, involving untold misery on the subcontinent. Finances and Debt: 2nd lord Saturn in 6th is not good for finances but it is also with 5th and 12th lord which may infuse foreign funds from abroad. Three malefics in the 6th house will assure victory in case of war and combination of 5th lord in 6th and 3rd lord Saturn also in the sixth causing Vipreet Raj Yoga will ensure expenditure on modernization of armed forces with the help of foreigners (role of Rahu and Mars as lord of twelve.) The sixth lord relating to armed forces is well placed in the fifth with benefic Mercury. It may show acquisition of sophisticated arms by the armed forces especially its air and naval wings. Sixth lord Venus is with 10th lord Mercury in the 5th house. Venus represents women, and Mercury denotes youth. There will be increasing role of women in government, educational and literary fields as also in sports. This year is also the year of women. Seventh House The placement of Jupiter, Lagna lord in the 7th is very good especially when lord of seven Mercury is in the fifth with a benefic planet. Since Jupiter represents capitalism the relations with foreign countries especially America will improve. Treaties and agreements will be signed and the prestige of country will rise high. Women will be happy and will be honoured. Since Jupiter is significator for rehgion and spiritualism its aspect on Lagna will make people more spiritual and undertake pilgrimages to holy places.

534


Fighth House There is no planet in the eighth house which is good. The house is, however, aspected by Saturn. Saturn is lord of two and three and may cause some accidents of rail or air. There may be heavy loss of revenue and wastage of public money. The health of the cabinet or important personalities would be good on the whole excepting some ailments suffered by head of the sate, government or important person. The lord of eight Moon is in the fourth. Its role has been discussed in the fourth house. The opposition will be in disarray. Ninth House The 9th lord Sun is in the fourth house of education which is good for the progress in education and field of research. It is with the 8th lord Moon. Moon represents chemicals, liquids, so there may be advancement in chemical and medical fields. (Sun is doctor). Tenth House There is no planet in the 10th house. It is aspected by Sun, lord of five which is good for the overall smooth running of cabinet. However, it is with 8th lord Moon that may bring some unexpected problems for the Cabinet. The 10th lord is Mercury, which is a benefic which is good for cabinet. Eleventh House The 11th lord Venus is in the fifth with Mercury planet of communication and trade. It is aspecting its own house which augurs well for gains from trade, communication and I/T industry. Many agreements may also be signed with foreign countries. International relations will improve and nation may have a good name in the comity of nations.


535

Twelfth House The twelfth house has Ketu aspected by Saturn and Mars. Foreign spies will be active. Many conspiracies will be hatched against the state. There will be much expenditure and great amount of money will be squandered and misappropriated. Organized crime will flourish. The twelfth lord Mars is in the sixth badly mauled aspecting its own house which while giving strength to the house would cause many financial scandals.

Chapter XIII Earthquakes In recorded history more than 15 million people have died in earthquakes or because of earthquake after-effects such as landslides, fires and tidal waves. In its most devastating form, an earthquake can wipe out an entire community in minutes. A list of major earthquakes of the world is given in the appendix. Earthquakes result from the stain caused by movement of the places that make up the Earth's outer shell and are directly associated with the activity that occur at ocean ridges, trenches and faults. If the Earth's crust cannot accommodate itself to the strain it breaks up, releasing tremendous amount of energy in the form of sudden violent shocks. The most intense earthquake activity is round the margin of the Pacific in the Circum—Pacific belt. About 75% of all shallow earthquakes, 90% of intermediate earthquakes and almost all deep earthquakes take place in this belt. It snakes its way up the west coast of South American, loops through the Caribbean and backs up at the west coast of North America to Alaska and across to Asia., Indonesia, New Zealand and the Antarctic. Another belt spreads across the Alps and North Africa., along the northern shores of the Mediterranean, eastwards through Iran and the HIMALAYAS, then through Southern China to join the Circum - Pacific belt. From the amplitude, or size, of the recorded waves, seismologists can determine the magnitude of the earthquakes. EARTHQUAKE MAGNITUDE is a measure of the seismic energy released at the focus, graded according to Richter Scale named after Charles F. Richter, a Californian seismologist, who devised it. The Richter scale of magnitude is logarithmic; this means a shock of magnitude 8 emits waves with an amplitude ten times greater than that of waves emitted by magnitude 7 shock, 100 times greater than that of waves emitted by a magnitude 6 and so on. The very largest earthquakes ever recorded have magnitude of about 8.9 on the Richter scale, but fortunately they are very uncommon. An earthquake with a magnitude greater than 8.5 occurs

Earthquakes

537

somewhere in the world once every five to 10 year. By contrast, more than 300,000 shocks with magnitude in the range of 2.2-2.9 occur every year. The reasons for the earthquake to happen are being studied by scientists all over the world. The latest study conducted by United States Geological Survey have predicted that there will be major earthquake in San Francisco by 2030 which would cause devastation on an unprecedented scale involving loss of billions of dollars. K.N. Rao Journal of Astrology January March 2002 While there are various reasons for this strain to occur and scientists all over the world will keep on arguing the subject has been dealt with in details by Hindu Maharishis and astrologers. It has been established that there are astrological factors which are responsible for aggravating the situation. In India there was a major earthquake at Bhuj Gujarat of more than 8 Richter scale on 26 January 2001. In which more than 30,000 persons died. This earthquake was predicted by K.N. Rao in the magazine Week of 14 January 2001. It was Garga Maharishi who gave us predictive techniques for forecasting earthquakes Russians have now established that eclipses and new and full Moon have a great role in causing seismic activity. A research team has been formed in Bhartiya Vidya Bhavan under the guidance of K.N. Rao to study major causes of the earthquakes. The first result has been published in an article which appeared in April-June 2001 in Journal Of Astrology. This research team has studied 170 of the severe earthquakes and have found that i) 55.8 per cent of the earthquakes have occurred during the period covering the 5 Tithis i.e. 2 Tithis immediately preceding new Moon or full Moon including day of the new Moon and full Moon and two Tithis just following the new Moon or full Moon including day of the new Moon and full Moon. ii) 33.5 per cent of earthquakes have occurred during 14th to IstTithi including intervening new Moon/full Moon. iii) 17 per cent of the earthquake have occurred during new Moon/full Moon.

Other Factors responsible for Earthquakes: Role of Eclipses: 1. Earthquakes normally follow close on the heels of eclipses and especially in the countries where eclipses occur in the 10th or the fourth houses. 2. According to western astrologers if there are any planet in fixed signs at the moment of eclipse, then earthquake will occur in those parts of the world where such planets are either rising, setting or culminating or on the Nadir. Thus, if at an eclipse the planet Saturn should be 30 degrees from the meridian, then earthquake will occur in that part of the world which is the same distance from Greenwich, east or west according to position of Saturn. 3.

At the time of earthquake there will be many malefic aspects or conjunction of malefic planets. These malefic planets will form an aspect with previous eclipses. An eclipse may be forerunner of earthquake, but earthquakes will not happen unless there are many aspects with the eclipse. Signs Taurus and Scorpio are notorious for earthquakes especially when Saturn, Rahu, Mars and Jupiter are in the signs. Taurus especially has the Rohini Nakshatra the implication of which has been explained separately. Jupiter in Taurus or Scorpio and having aspect, Conjunction of Mercury causes frequent earthquakes. The position of planets at each ingress of Sun into Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn and at the time of New Moon should be observed. Note the countries in whose 4th house the malefic planets are placed or have aspect should be noted. There might be some seismic disturbance. Concentration of planets at the beginning of movable signs (within 1 degree) Aries, Cancer, Libra andl Capricorn. The countries and localities in which earthquakes will happen can be ascertained as follows. First with reference to the sign ruling different countries and cities especially with reference to four quarterly ingresses of Sun and noting the longitude in which eclipses occur.

The timings of occurrences of earthquakes have been noticed between midday and sunset or between midnight and sunrise. A major planet, Saturn, Jupiter or Mars have been found to be retrograde at the time of earthquakes. Major planets in Kendras or Trikonas from each other contribute to occurrence of earthquake. Placement of Moon and Mercury in the same Nakshatra. There is importance attached to airy and earthy signs on day of earthquake. In some cases earth has been found to be nearest to Sun at the time of earthquake. The 1 st, 4th, 7th, 8th, 10th or 12th houses have been found to be afflicted at the time of earthquakes. The western astrologers put great emphasis on the role of extra terrestrial planets Uranus, Neptune and Pluto in causing earthquakes. Even a foreign scientist was constrained to point out that in majority of the cases when earthquakes happened the planet Uranus was almost directly overhead the place of origin. The placement of Uranus in signs Taums and Scorpio has sinister meanings. If Neptune has gravitational effect on Uranus then both Neptune and Uranus would have combined effect of gravitational pull on the earth. However, this needs detailed study and research and its results would be published in our future researches. Earthquake of Bihar 16.1.1934 Vcn

1. There is conjunction of Saturn with Saturn and Rahu with opposition of Jupiter. 2. Mars is afflicting Moon who is in 8th from traditional Lagna Capricorn of Afghanistan and Pakistan. 3. There was an annular solar eclipse on 15 and 16th January. This position of eclipse is aspected by Jupiter and is conjunct with Saturn. Locating Places of Earthquake: While it is easy to locate the timings of the earthquake which is found out by conjunction, opposition of major planets, eclipses the location of the place where earthquake might occur is quite time consuming process. In which some help could be got by remembering the signs ruled by various countries. The fourth/8th houses from mling sign as also Lagna would be afflicted. The position of the new Moon ,full Moon and the signs in which eclipses happen provide further clue. The horoscopes for eclipses and ingress of Sub in all the four cardinal signs should be noted. 2. The chart for entry of Sun in Aries is very important. For the earthquake to happen 8th and fourth houses assume importance. They should be severely afflicted. It should be remembered 8th house shows mass tragedies. The eclipse in a particular year should be under malefic aspect for the earthquake to happen. Interconnection between Mercury and Saturn, and Mercury behind the Sun should be noted. The affliction to Mercury by Saturn or Mars and their aspect on Lagna and 8th house should be taken note of. If the Nakshatras of Moon, Rohini, Hasta and Sravan are occupied by lord of or a malefic planet, it may cause earthquake. The planets Saturn, Jupiter, Rahu or Ketu and Mars arr normally found in at least one earthy sign at time of earthquake. Alternatively Mercury or 8th lord are afflicted. The position of above planets in airy signs is equally important with Mars in earthy sign. The eclipses should be carefully noted The planets affected by it give a clue to happening of earthquake.

The time when a planet becomes retrograde or when it becomes direct has its implication in timing major events of history. In the light of above let us study some of the devastating earthquakes. Earthquake of Gujarat 26.1. 2001, 8: 46 AM This was one of the most potent earthquakes which caused destruction on a very large scale and shook the foundation of Indian economy. It occurred in Bhuj, 65 miles northeast of Jamnagar. This earthquake was so powerful that its effect Was felt throughout Northwest India and much of Pakistan. Its reverberations were heard as far as Nepal and Bangladesh. This place was also earlier devastated by an earthquake on June 16, 1819.. In this tragedy more than 18, 602 people lost their life and 166,836 people were injured. Six hundred people became homeless, and 3,32,0000 houses were destroyed. The total loss was estimated to be equivalent to 1.3 billion dollar. Gujarat Earthquake: 26.1.2001 8.46 AM 11

Chapter XIV Principles of Astro - Meteorology Based on the book "Applied Astrology, Individual Monsoon Forecasting and New Researches" by K.N. Rao. When Sun reaches and crosses 6° 40 ' in the sign Gemini (Mithun) in Ardra Nakshatra (around June 22) the Monsoon arrives in North India and when Sun reaches 10° in Virgo (Kanya) on September 26, it begins to withdraw. The Moon in certain Nakshatras joining with other planets or when aspected by them can cause or hinder rain. Following principles for rain may be observed: Principle Nol: Though there are actually twenty-seven Nakshatras (Constellations), for the purpose of Astro Meteorology forecast, 28 Nakshatras are made use of. Twenty-eighth Nakshatra is Abhijit and it is allotted a space towards the end of Uttarashada (no. 21). These 28 Nakshatras are spread out in seven Nadis.

It is well known that the entry of Sun in various Rasis and Nakshatras regulate the season. Venus and Mercury are always very close to Sun. Signification of seven Nadis: 1. Parchand. Ruled by Saturn means extreme heat of the summer.

2. 3. 4.

Pawan: Ruled by Sun means strong hot winds of summer. Dahan: Ruled by Mars depicts fierce heat. Saumaya: Ruled by Jupiter strikes a balance between intense heat and soon to come cool early Monsoon showers. It is also called Madhya Nadi. 5. Neer: ruled by Venus, a watery planet represents first showers of Monsoon. Neer means water. 6. Jal: Ruled by Mercury. Also means water - plenty of rain of Monsoon. 7. Amrita: Ruled by Moon a watery planet signifies rains in abundance. Torrential down pour. Neera, Jal and Amrit are also called Uttari or Sajala Rasis. Three Fold Classification: The sapt Nadi is divided into three categories: Yamya: first three Nadis Prachand, Pawan and Dahan are known as Yamya Nadis. They are also called Dakshin Nadis. Soumaya: next three Soumaya, Neera and Jal mean drop in temperature. Sheetal: last one Amrit means cool. Principle No 2 When many planets are in one Rasi, especially in one Nakshatra with Mars and Sun joining them and Mars is with Rahu, there can be a terrible downpour even if it is not the regular Monsoon season.

To cause such extraordinary fluctuations at least two out of the five malefics Saturn Mars, and Sun Rahu and Ketu must conjoin or form an aspect with two water-producing planets like Moon and Venus. b) On 15 April 1983, Sun, Moon Mercury and Mars had received the aspect of Saturn from Tula, a terrible downpour had taken place all over northern India. In 1987 when every body was talking of drought Rao had predicted in a letter to news paper Statesman that the spell of drought would be broken. It will be thus clear that when there is concentration of planets in one Rasi, the weather begins to fluctuate and when Moon joins them this fluctuation becomes clear. Principle No 3 Whatever may be the season, there must be a weather fluctuation when Moon joins Venus or when Moon is fifth or ninth from Venus. In the rainy season, it causes good rain unless there are factors preventing rains. Principal No 4 When Mars transits from one Rasi to another then within two days, there is perceptible change in weather and in the rainy

550


season there must be a good rainfall. Mars is the most powerful planet causing rainfall. For example note the following dates in the year 2002. Mars changed Rasis on: 10th January it entered Pisces, On 21s1 February it was in Mesha, and on April 5 it entered Taurus. On May 19 it was in Gemini, on July 4, it entered Karka and on August 20 it was in Simha. Fluctuations in weather including rainfall in rainy season were noticed on these days. In mundane astrology such transits of Mars are also associated with major tragedies and fire accidents depending on planetary combinations. Principal No 5 Similarly when a major planet changes a Rasi, it causes momentous events. In the case of weather it must cause a very noticeable change. In year 2002 it was noticed that on February 28,2002 Rahu entered Taums Rasi. There were heavy storms and communal riots in Gujarat and other parts of India. On July 5 Jupiter entered Cancer there was severe heat and talk of war with Pakistan. The change of Rasis by Mercury and other heavy planets usually presages onslaught of storms, rains, lightening, heat, thunder and cause political disturbances as well. Principal No 6: When planets retrograde and on the day these become direct there is change in temperature, humidity and what the meteorologists say as "disturbances". But among all the planets Mercury must be singled out for spectacular and physically experienced weather fluctuations. Venus: Among all the planets it is Venus whose retrogression or direct motion does not singly affect weather condition unless other planets help accompanies it. Venus (Special) In Astro meteorological literature Venus always has a special meaning and it has to be studied in depth for even market fluctuations. Venus is Devata, Manushya and Rakshasha meaning

go^ man and devil. Its setting and rising are important considerations. Some other Principles 1. There will be rain if strong Moon is in a Rasi whose lord is aspecting it. 2. More benefics in Dakshina Nadi will cause rain. 3. If there are more malefics in Uttara Nadi there will be no rain. 4. If Mercury and Venus, Mercury and Jupiter and Venus and Jupiter are together in a Rasi there is cloud formation. In favourable Rasi and favourable aspects there will be rain. Malefic aspects cause strong wind and less rain. 5. Venus behind slow moving planet causes wind. Many planets in Pawan Nadi cause destructive wind. Factors Preventing Rain There are about 31 principles preventing rains in India. Only three are more important and are mentioned here. i) When Sun is in between Venus and Mercury there is a break in the sense that for some days there is dry spell. When it started happening in late August and early September in 1988, the Indian Meteorological Department rushed to the conclusion that the monsoon season was over. On this basis instmctions were issued to all concerned departments including authorities controlling dams, to store water at a particular level. This was a mistake as this was followed by terrible rain which endangered Bhakra Nangal dam and the authorities had to release surplus water which created disaster in Punjab and neighbouring territories. The Punjab terrorists found a cause to shoot down Major General Kumar Director of Bhakra Dam Authority. Had the Meteorological department been aware of this phenomenon of Sun between Mercury and Venus causing temporary break in rain they would have avoided this disaster. ii) ffl)

If Jupiter and Mars are within 30 degrees of each other it prevents rains. But the worst combination is when Mars is ahead of Sun in the rainy season. This was so in the year 2002 and hence

552


rains were delayed. This has been explained in Ardra Parvesh Chakra for year 2002. Forecast of Rains 1. The method followed is to add 195 days to a certain day astrologically arrived at in the month of November- December. This gives first day of the monsoon showers. It comes correct within an error of margin of 48 hours. 2. Four astrological charts are prepared to examine how planets would affect winds, humidity, moisture, and cloud formation and cause rain. 3. Local observations are carried out in May- June of winds and clouds or local and regional rain. Animal Behaviour: Short range forecasts a) In the rainy season if the sky is overcast and your pet dog refuses to go outdoors it is sign of coming rain. b) If the kites are flying at the height of about 400 feet, it is indication of rain or storm. c) If spider has started weaving web outdoors, it indicates departure of rain. d) The croaking of frogs is indication of rain. e) The exultant cries of peacock are an indication of cloud formation. Areas of Research: 1. There is need to study Garbha Dharan (impregnation of clouds) towards the fag end of Dakshinayan (17 July to 30 January as the particular day when the Moon enters a particular constellation (or Nakshatra). This should be done to predict rain during the Indian monsoon. 2. Similarly for winter rains, the Garbha Dharan is to be observed in the Uttarayana period (14 January to 16 July). 3. Next stage in astrological research is the Shukla Pratipada of Chaitra, which is between March 13, and April 14 every year. 4. Then there is Rohini Yoga in the month of Ashaarh. During this month Vayuparikshan has to be done daily and the flow of winds dutifully recorded. 5. The last stage is to cast the horoscope of Ardra Parvesh to make final prediction about rainfall and the points of

Meterology

553

obstmction in Ardraparvesh are to be borne in mind. In the year 1987 in the Ardra Parvesh horoscope the Moon is in the Niijala (waterless Rasi). The forecasts on the basis of planetary configuration were i) All Kendras or quadrants were occupied by malefics, rains will not be timely ii) Mars aspected by malefics will create dry spells. hi) Sun being behind Mars till August 24, (Bhadrapad Krishna Amavasya) is not indicative of good rain but shows drought. "Aage Mangal Peeche Bhand Varsha hoi aus Sman." "Sravan me aage chala Ravirath se Kujray, Bhadhav Krishna Pankhlo varsha Swalpa Dikhay.' The reference is to scanty rains caused by Mars being ahead of Sun till 24 August. To predict about date of rains following principles should be followed. 1. After the Sun has entered Mrigsira Nakshatra towards the end of May, the southwest monsoon begins to strike Kerala coast. When Sun enters Ardra (22-23, June) every year Monsoon advances towards northern India. 2. When the Sun enters Kanya Rasi middle of September the Monsoon prepares to withdraw from Northern India. 3. When the Sun enters Hasta Nakshatra, it causes rain in Bihar which a Bihari calls Hathiya rain. But by that time monsoon withdraws from rest of Northern India. 4. When the Sun enters Chitra, it causes some occasional rain, otherwise southwest Monsoon withdraws totally. In Indian tradition this is reference to the bird Chatak that supposedly waits for the raindrop of Swati. 5. Conjunction of Sun with Saturn causes cold wave in upper India. Role of Sunspots on weather: The latest researches in science have established the relation of extreme hot weather and role of sunspots. It has now been proved that sunspots have direct connection with extreme heat. (Sunspots are dark spots, some as large as 50,000 miles in diameter, which move across the surface of the sun, contracting and expanding as they go).

554


It was reported in the newspaper Hindustan Times on 13 April 2003 that extreme and erratic weather is due to the connection of the sun and the earth that has so far not been studied. This factor has greater impact on the climate than greenhouse gases. In major researches undertaken between March 18 and 23 a deep connection was noticed between the sunspots and the earth which established beyond doubt role of sunspots in causing extreme heat. A British scientist E W Maunders who has established connection between sunspots and erratic weather conducted earlier researches on this. New science of Helios- seismology is taking important steps to prove planetary influence on weather. Timing of Rain This is a topic, which needs thorough knowledge and study of various aspects of rain. In Brihat Samhita there is a chapter to work out timing of rain. It is stated that in the month of Aggarhayan of Shukl Paksh Padi Pada from the date Moon enter Poorva Asahi Nakshatra that day should be treated pregnancy of clouds. Prospects of Rain Study the atmospheric conditions on three days in the lunar month of Ashada (June- July) when the Moon transits through Rohini, Swati and Uttarshadha Nakshatras. These are respectively called Rohini Yoga, Swati Yoga and Ashadi Yoga days. If on these days sky is covered with huge clouds, serpent like white in certain parts and black in others, or the sky is covered with red clouds and marked by lightning immediately before sunrise and after sunse., this is sure sign of heavy rains during monsoon. Swati and Ashadi Yogas On the Swati Yoga day rainfall throughout day and night shows uninterrupted rain for several days in winter. Wind from east or northeast indicates good rain and good crops while wind from other directions presages little rainfall in future. Continuous hot wind from southeast or high wind from southwest at sunset may bring terrible famine. Rohini Yoga When the Moon passes through Nakshatra of Rohini in the dark half of lunar month Ashada, Rohini Yoga is caused. If on the Rohini Yoga day sky is clear and sun hot, there will be rain the rainy season. Much misery and no rain are caused if unusual

555

phenomena like meteoric falls, thunderbolts, mock fires etc. occur on Rohini Yoga day. Delivery of Clouds; Delivery or birth takes place 195 days after when the Moon will be in the same Nakshatra seven sidereal months. Clouds that conceive in the bright and dark halves of the month (Mrigsira -November - December) and in the bright half of Pausa (December -January) will be delivered of rain the in the dark half of Jyeshta (May J une) or vie versa. On both these days rain will be moderate. Ardra Parvesh Chakra The rainy season in northern India starts with the entry of Sun in Ardra Nakshatra. The horoscope drawn at the time of entry of Sun in Ardra gives clear indication about the direction and strength of the monsoon. The time when Sun enters Ardra Nakshatra is given in ephemeris and Panchangs. The horoscope is drawn with Delhi as place of birth or entry of Sun in this Nakshatra. However, some astrologers are of the opinion that the place of entry taken should be Varanasi. This Monsoon season lasts till the entry of Sun in Swati Nakshatra. From Ardra to Swati Nakshatra is the rainy season. It is only some times that it rains when Sun is in Swati Nakshatra. The rain of this Nakshatra is very useful for Rabi crops of wheat, gram, Sarson etc. To interpret the chart it is necessary to understand the role of Rasis and planets. Rasis Twelve Rasis have been divided into following categories: 1. Fiery - Aries, Leo and Sagittarius. 2. Earthy - Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn. 3. Airy - Gemini, Libra, Aquarius 4. Watery - Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces. How much water is there in each Rasi is given below: Fiery Rasis: Aries 25%, Leo 0%, and Sagittarius 50%. Earthy Rasis: Taums 50%, Virgo 0%, and Capricorn full. Airy Rasis: Gemini Nil, Libra 25%, Aquarius 50%. Watery Rasis: Cancer full, Scorpio 25%, and Pisces full.

556


While giving predictions it should be borne in mind the percentage of water each Rasi has and direction in which it is located. The planets Moon, Venus, Mercury and Jupiter gives plenty of rain, while malefic planets Sun, Mars and Saturn are dry, preventing rain. Role of Sun and Mars: They become intense dry when only they are together. Also if Sun is behind Mars there is no rain. Ghagh, a poet has said "Mangal Rath Age Chale- Peeche chale jo Sur - Mand Varishti tab janiye padsi sagle shoor". (With Mars ahead of Sun there is no rain) Sun and Saturn: If in any year Sun and Saturn are together in a Rasi in summer there will be extreme heat and if they are together in wintry season it will be extreme cold in that year. Saturn is Karka for wind and dryness. This will bring strong wind, storms etc. This even drives away clouds of rain if it is in airy Nadi. If Saturn is in watery Nadi then it causes storms and rain especially when it is with watery planets or is aspected by watery planets. So the prediction about rain is to be given by combining Rasi effects with those of planets. This is how horoscope of Ardra Parvesh is judged. Directions in the Horoscope: Eight directions are shown in the horoscope. Lagna is always east, tenth house south, seventh house is west and fourth house is north. In between are the four more sub directions. Northeast, northwest etc. 1. East: The places in the east are Bengal, Bihar, and Jharkhand, Mizoram, eastern Madhya Pradesh 1st House. 2. Northeast: 2nd and Third House: Bhutan, Assam, Meghalaya Amnachal Pradesh, Nagaland, Manipur, Sikkim. 3. North - 4th House - Delhi, Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, U.P. Nepal, part of Jammu and Kashmir, Tibet, Uttar Anchal. 4. Northwest: 5th and 6th house: Baluchistan, Rawalpindi, Peshawar, Afghanistan. 5.

LagEast Ket How to Read the Horoscope of Ardra Parvesh: 1. First see the directions and Rasis therein. 2. The Rasis will show how much water will be there as per chart above. 3. See the location of Planets and the aspect or directions they represent The planets will give rain as per table below: Planet Element Watery Content 1. Sun Fiery Dry 2. Moon Watery Water 3. Mars Fiery Dry 4. Mercury Earthy Water 5. Jupiter Akash Water 6. Venus Watery Water 7. Saturn Airy Dry and windy From the above it is clear that benefic planets Moon, Mercury, Jupiter and Venus are good for rain. The Karkas for dryness, drought (Sookha) are Saturn Sun and Mars. However, since Sun is life giver as well as Karka for Soul its effect on rain is not so bad. Sun and Mars is not good combination for rain. Please remember whenever Mars is ahead of Sun there is no rain.

558


In the above horoscope the Sun and Mars are together at the time of Ardra Parvesh on 22 June. At the time of Ardra Parvesh there is no rain and Mars will move ahead of Sun in Karkha on 29th June. This is not favourable for rain. The rain will only happen when Sun moves ahead of Mars. The dates should be ascertained from ephemeris. Saturn is Karka for wind and dryness. This planet brings wind, storms and is responsible for driving away clouds in Nadis of wind. If it reaches Jal Nadi or is aspected by watery planets it causes rain and storm. In this way give prediction about rain by combining planets, Rasi and Nadis from Sapt Nadi Chakra. Let us apply these principles to the above horoscope. East Direction - Lagna: Lagna is Kanya. It represents eastern direction. Kanya has 0% water. The Navamsa Lagna is Aries with Mars as Lagna lord aspecting Lagna. This represents heat and dryness. Bengal, Bihar, UP, Punjab Haryana Himachal Pradesh would have heat at the time of Ardra Pradesh. There will be no rain in these parts. The summer will be hot with practically no rain. North East: Assam Bhutan and North east portion will have plenty of rain as Saturn is in North East Jupiter, Moon and Venus has aspect in the same direction. There will be heavy rain with storm. The Rasis concerned are Tula and Vrischik. Tula is airy Rasi with 25% water and Vrischik is watery Rasi also with 25% water. North: Has been discussed above. Ardra Chakra is for the whole of North India. In northern India there is Sagittarius Rasi with the aspect of Sun, Mars and Mercury. Dhanu Rasi has 50% water. It has aspect of its own lord Jupiter who is a watery planet and is with Moon another watery planet. This is good for rain but the aspect of Sun and Mars and Mercury give late rain. And Gemini and Virgo are Rasis without water there will be shortage of rain. Southeastern Monsoon. Northwest: There are Capricorn and Aquarius Rasis, which have water. Makar has 100% water and Kumbha has 50% water. There is aspect of Mars and Saturn. There will be rain with high wind. But because of aspect of Mars the rains will be late. The western parts of Uttar Pradesh, Punjab Haryana, and Kashmir will comparatively have rain but rather late. As a result there will be

good harvest. In the East and middle portion of Uttar Pradesh there will be less rain and loss of agriculture. West: West has Meena Rasi. It has 100% water with Rahu in it. There will be rain with wind. Rahu represents wind and storm. Southwest: Moon and Jupiter are in the South West direction. Venus is also in its own Rasi with aspect of Saturn. Result: Maharashtra and Gujarat will have heavy rain with storms and wind. There will be good southwesterly rain. South: In the South of India there is Mithun Rasi with 0% water. There are also Mars, Sun and Mercury, which promise very little rain. Southeast: Has aspect of Saturn and Jupiter. The Rasis involved are Cancer a watery sign with 100 per cent water and Simha with no water. There will be plenty of rain in Orissa and Andhra. There will also be storms and heavy wind. Result: In southwest portion of India there will be plenty of rain. But because of storm there will be plenty of loss. There will be shortage of rain in eastern part of India. In Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan the rains will be late and hence danger of drought. (Sookha). Example Horoscope for 2002 Sun enters Ardra Nakshatra 22 June 2002, 8:50 AM

Lord of Lagna is Moon in Scorpio with water content 25% and is also with Ketu and aspected by Saturn and Mercury which is not very promising. In Navamsa, however. Moon is in its own sign but is aspected by a hot and dry planet Mars. In Sapt Nadi

Chakra Moon is in Parchand Nadi whose lord Saturn is in Dahan Nadi, which is not good for rain. So in this season though there will be rain but not in abundance. 2. However, important fact is that in this horoscope Mars is ahead of Sun. Hence rains will be delayed till Sun moves ahead of Mars which happens in early August. Hence rains in northern India would be delayed till early August. (Note: This is exactly what happened in the year 2002 contrary to meteorological department's prediction that rains will be on time, thus vindicating Vedic astrology). Example Horoscope: Predictions for the year 2003 on the basis of Ardra Parvesh Chakra. Time of making the Horoscope: Sun enters Ardra Nakshatra on 22nd June at 14 hrs 58 minutes. (This can be found out from Lehri's ephemeris for the year 2003 on pages 43 (Entry of Sun into Nakshatras). The horoscope cast for this time is as follows:

Moon, a watery planet is in Pisces a watery sign which has 100% water and hence excellent for rain. 3 Also Lagna is an airy benefic sign and Ardra Pravesh Chakra represents weather condition for North of India there will be plenty of rains with winds and storms (aspect of Mars on Venus). Lagna also represents East and being an airy Rasi indicate there will be rain with wind and storms in the east of India. 4 Mercury is in Taums with Venus promising good rain. While Venus and Mercury are in Prachand Nadi indicating fierce weather but lord of this Nadi Saturn is in Saumya Nadi indicating weather change. 5. In the west because of fiery Rasi there will be shortage of rain. Lagna lord is in the 8th house with the aspect of Mars a fiery planet But Mars is in Jal Nadi and in the horoscope it is in Aquarius Rasi which has 50% water promising rain with wind (airy sign). Because Mars is fiery planet there is possibility of shortage of rain at some places and excess of rains at others. 6. In the South there is watery Rasi with exalted Jupiter so there will be plenty of rain at most places. 7. In the north, Capricorn Rasi promises good rain as it has 100% water but its lord Saturn is in airy Rasi with fiery planet Sun because of which there will be storms, dust wind and rain. 8. Jupiter in second from Sun would be good for rain but presence of Saturn with Sun gives extreme conditions of storm and heat and shortage of rain. The lord of Lagna in its own house promises good rain in some parts of the country. Day of Heavy Rain 8 July 2003 SVtnSa SunAlcr.
