Basics of Nadi Astrology

The important thing one has to understand here is that each of the nadis use different
techniques for predictions.
The different kinds of nadis are Bhrigu nandi nadi, Sukar nadi, Siva vakya nadi, Agastiyar
nadi, sani nadi,budha nadi, guru nadi,ganesha nadi, kumara nadi, kamakshi nadi, jeeva nadi,
saptarishi nadi etc.
Bhrighu nandi nadi is a type of nadi where sage bhrigu discusses with lord nandikeshwara
about the patterns of destiny in various people's life.
The position of Saturn, Jupiter, Rahu and Ketu is very helpful for nadi astrologers, while
instant predictions.
As per nadi astrology remedial measures mainly stress on the native going to a temple,
donations of food items or articles and chanting mantras. The chanting mantras based on
vimshottari dasha and bhukthi/antr lord.
The broad-based pattern of ones life can be easily deciphered useing the nadi principles.
For example when mars and rahu [ dragon head] combine together the native will not live
near his or her siblings or if they live together the siblings will have problems in life.
As per Ancient Nadi books each planet has got fixed causatives [ Karakatvas]
Sun - Represents King, Father, Son, Respect etc
Moon- Represents Mother, Mind, Motion,Travel,Loss,Liquid etc
Mars - Represents Power, Husband, Anger, Arrogance, Brother,Blood etc
Mercury - Represents Friend, Intelligence, Trade etc

Rules to Follow - House of Profession

Saturn is the only planet to indicate Profession both for male and female natives
If the saturn is Retro, then the casuatives of the planets positioned in previous sign from a
sign wherein Saturn is Retrograded , should also be incorporated while considering
profession
If Saturn is Retro in Aries , which is east, its previous sign pisces is north. Besides this,
Cancer and Scorpio are also north signs.
Therefore the combination of various planets and their casuatives should be incorporated
along with Saturn while delineating the profession.
If Saturn is not Retrograded, then the same and similar directional signs to be considere
along with the sign where saturn is positioned.

The character attributed to the rashi as well as the casuatives of the planet situated alongwith
the Saturn should also be considered
The Seventh House from a rashi where Saturn is positioned is an aspecting sign. The third
and eleventh sign from that of the above Seventh sign will become the same directional
signs.
For example :
If Saturn is positioned in cancer which is a North direction, the seventh house to cancer is
capricorn, which is a south direction and at the same time, third house there from virgo is of
south direction and the eleventh house there from cancer is taurus will also become south
direction.
Therefore third, seventh and eleventh signs are mutually aspecting rashis. Thereby , the
planets positioned in virgo, capricorn will become effective on saturn positioned in cancer.
The planets positioned in those signs have effective aspect on saturn.
The planets positioned in fifth, ninth sign from a sign where saturn is positioned are
considered as they are in conjunction with saturn. The planets positioned in third, seventh
and eleventh signs are considerd to be aspecting planets to saturn.
The planets positioned along with Saturn or Saturn get exchanged with any other planet to
their respective own houses , then the causative of those exchanged planets should also be
taken into account while giving predictions. [ Ref by Mr R G Rao ]

As per Nadi Astrology

House of Profession :
Saturn is the Lord of Profession. The prediction, is told from the Planetary Combinations of
2,5,7,9 to him.

House of Husband : [ Female chart ]

Mars is the Lord of this House. The prediction, is told from the Planetary Combinations of
2,5,7,9 to him.

House of Wife : [ Male Chart ]

Venus is the Lord of this House. The prediction, is told from the planetary combination of
2,5,7,9 to him indicate the Husband, Nature, Profession.
Mind, Intellect and ego always prevail in all living beings. The combination of planets, at the
time of birth ascribes specific characters to the native.
For example, when a baby is born at a time when sun rays are falling on mars, the combined
radiation being cast on earth, characteristics the native born at that time and at that part of
the earth with egoism, pride etc.
In the same manner, when mars rays fall on Jupiter at the native's birth time, the native will
be of emotional type, over confident and adamant. In case of Jupiter aspecting Mercury in
the natal chart, the native will be educated and fluent in speech.
Thus astronomical positions of the planets affects human beings on earth. These principles
are adopted in astrology. Astronomical data is collected, adopted and interpreted for
practical purposes of predictions..
The planetary transit will indicate the auspicious and inauspicious results from time to time.

Nadi System of Astrology

In the nadi system of astrology, to arrive at the prediction part, it is necessary to know
1. The characteristics of the respective planets
2. The caustivity of respective planets.

4. The sign in which the respective planets are posited.
5. The 2nd,5th,7th,9th and 11th signs from such planets
6. Friendly and inimical aspects of the respective planets.
It is traditionally common amongest most of the astrologers to consider the ascendant as the
most important aspect in predictional astrology.
These astrologers consider the lagna or the ascendant as representing the person of the
native. But in the nadi system of astrology, in a male horoscope Jupiter represnts the native
and in female horoscope venus represnts the native. In the nadi system, signs , degrees,
minutes and seconds of planets positions are extremely important for predictions. The 12
bhavas are divided amongest the 9 planets whether it is nadi system or any other system,
signs , degrees, minutes and seconds showing the motions of the planets nad their causitivity
are very important.

Maandi and Gulika in Astrology

Every planet has certain sub-planet like moon to the sub-planet of earth. Mars has 2, Jupiter has
12, Saturn has 10 sub planets. Among the 10 sub-planets of Saturn Maandi or Titan of Gulika is the
biggest one. Maandi is considered as the son of Saturn.
According to the latest findings there are 21 Sub-planets for Saturn. Only one planet namely Titan
or Maandi is revolving in clock-wise direction and other sub-planets in the Anti-clockwise direction.
Everybody is facing unexpected problems in his life. As per astrology goods yoga's give success,
attaining the power, good health, gains in finance, higher education, peaceful family life, dutiful,
kind hearted children, enjoying religious rites. Arishta or bad yoga's bring quarrel sum wife,
worries, miseries, ill health, poverty, mental disorder, hateful relations and children, accidents,
physically handicapped etc.
Maandi is considered to the departed spirits of unnatural death. The object of comparing the
Maandi and departed spirits is as the Maandi linked with the souls of brother, father and mother and
also one of the main reasons of the individual's death.
Death of an individual is occurred in the Saturn's dasa, bukthi, Andram, Sushma or Prana periods
only. Maandi is considered to be the son of Saturn. So, we can understand very easily that Maandi is
also connected with Pretha and offering the prayers to the ancestors will also satisfy Maandi. The
ancestor's death may be natural or unnatural.
Many sages, Rishis have mentioned the ill effects of Maandi. Some of them noted as Maandi and
some body called as Gulika. Kalidasa in his uttara kalamrita explained clearly that Maandi and
Gulika were the two sons of Saturn and not one and the same.
Maandi Udaya or rise - Particular time
Gulika Time - Duration of 90 minutes

The exact time of Maandi udaya or rise should be determined according to under mentioned
methods
1. Duration of Day [ Sunrise to Sunset]
2. Duration of Night [ Sunset to Sunrise]
3. Maandi udaya Ghatis of week days 26,22,18,14,10,6,2 from Sunday to Saturday respectively for
day time birth.
4. Maandi udaya Ghatis of week days 2,6,10,14,18,22,26 from Tuesday to Monday respectively for
Night time birth.
5. Divide the duration of the day by 30 and multiple the Maandi Udaya Ghatis for that day.
The result is the Maandi Udaya Time on that particular day. In the same method divide the duration
of Night by 30 and multiply the Maandi udaya Ghatis given for that night birth. The result is the
Maandi Udaya Time of Night. Add the exact Night time with sunset then the Maandi time can be
arrived for Night Birth.
Gulika Period
The period of particular day or night when divided by 8 will indicate the length of a part ruled over
by each of the planets. First 7 parts are allotted to 7 planets and the last part given to Gulika.
Order of seniority for Gulika period for day time is from Saturn and Night time from Mars.
