Saptarishis Astrology Update
O n the auspicious occasion of Datta Jayanti (1st Dec 2009), the day of Lord Dattatreya who is
considered the Guru of Gurus and a Guru avatar of Brahma, Vishnu, Maheshwara, this issue of the
magazine which is a 922 odd page volume is being placed at the holy feet of Late Shri C.S.Patel who
started the movement of removing rare shlokas from unknown manuscripts and presenting it in english for
the benefit of the astrological world and hope that the injustice done to him by publishers of magazines and
books at that time is healed to some extent now. By honoring such a gifted soul who did not have any guru
or parampara or organisation or great money behind him one only exemplifies that even you can also
become a C.S.Patel of Jyotish if you work honestly without craving for position, money or fame but have
true concern of helping the jyotish community and not just for name sake.
This issue has been the one where maximum work has gone and one hopes that the readers of the
magazine enjoy it as much as the extreme hard work that has gone into it by the volunteers, writers and
team members. Though there has been more than 2 months delay in getting this out due to various factors of
administration, it is sufficiently big around 930 pages for readers to mull over it minutely for the next 6-9
months. The only difference would be a new entrant would finish reading this issue within a month whereas
a true seeker would spend few years trying to find the meaning of each shloka presented and testing the
various techniques presented. Each one of you including the new entrants are requested to mull on it for
years and to test each technique aggressively. Our vision is not to be seen every month or every 3 months but
to remove the hidden knowledge and manuscripts out as it is felt that today we practice or teach astrology
after just 10-20 years of learning without having read all the available material on astrology, this is Un-
Shastriac and a practice that must be stopped by us only (complete jyotish community). To translate and
hunt manuscripts it takes time and hence would like to come out either once or twice a year and concentrate
on travelling over interiors of India with our limited resources. Hence once again a change in policy must be
mentioned wherein the next probable date of release could be June-July 2010.
BSPs
A
lso one of the significant reasons behind this development is with the resources at hand it’s become
a bit tougher and we would rather concentrate on writing on Bhrighu Saral Paddathis and make
some steps towards finishing the Rishi Debt that the jyotish community is needed to do. As of now
there are 300 Bhrighu Saral Paddathis out of which we have received (for the lack of a better word)
around 60, out of which more than 15 are lost by us due to not noting it down properly & memory issues, but
the rest of it must be aggressively tested and as quickly as possible written in article form for you all to test it
further and understand what the technique is saying and most important what it is not saying. Even if we
present 2 BSPs in an issue, in this lifetime we would not cover the complete 300 hence in this issue many are
given. There is a specific methodology that is not mentioned in all Bhrighu Saral Paddathis articles which is
the key to ‘How to use it’. This is difficult to explain in written form but if you constantly use it then you
would get the Master Key yourself of how to use it more and more effectively, after 18 months of constant
use you would surely reach at a much higher level than even what we have attained. But one must not forget
that to use BSPs the rules of Jyotisha Purusha need to be followed otherwise failure in ones usage will surely
result, this is what has been written and observed.
We request more translators, typists, proof readers, Sanskrit scholars, english language editors to
come forward as there is a dearth of them especially the ones who can selflessly do this for the future
generations. Even a work like typing an article or manuscript is not considered low status volunteer work
and infact we here at Saptarishis Astrology have the highest regard for those who do it. These are far bigger
than the gurus of today. The amount of manuscripts and old works lying with us is so much that one only
worries as to when it would come out for everyone since today there is truly a lack of quality information for
Jyotishis and to bridge that gap would take centuries hence our hurry in creating such big volumes. The next
issue which would be the 2nd Anniversary Issue would be dedicated to volunteers, translators, authors and
copy editors of the magazine. For the Anniversary Issue we invite letters from all to express their criticism
or appreciation for the articles presented so far which would be published in the Anniversary Issue.

mountain. He does not at all have feelings
in his mind about “me” and “mine”. Such
a person is forever a renunciate (sanyasi).
In this state of his mind he is dissociated
from the fruits of actions and he is ever
763
happy. Such a person does not have to leave his home, family and possessions to become
a sanyasi because he is already dissociated from desires in his mind. (5:19-22). He whose
intellect is free from desires does not get caught in the bindings of the actions. A person
attains the qualities of a sanyasi (renunciate) only when desires are given up. Therefore both
Karmasanyasa (renouncing actions) and Karmayoga (performing actions without desire for
fruits) are the same. (5:23-25). Only ignorant persons think that the two (i.e. Jnyanayoga of
the Sankhyas and Karmayoga) are different but those who have experienced Self know that
they are not different. (5:26-28). One who follows the Yoga path attains very soon the bliss
of the Brahman but one who cannot succeed in it wastes his efforts and cannot be a real
renunciate. (5:32-33).
Attitude Of A Non-Doer Is Necessary
A person who has kept his mind free of delusion and by purifying it with the help of
Guru's mantra merged it in the Self, becomes the Self. (5:34). A person who, after
getting rid of desires, has
become consciousness (Brahman) itself,
pervades the expanse of the three worlds
(i.e. heaven, earth and the nether)
through the form of the Self, even by
being at one place. (5:36). For such a
person language like "This is done by me"
or "I want to do this" becomes redundant
and he remains a non-doer in spite of his
actions. Because such a person is not
even conscious of his body even though
his outward behaviour and his bodily
functions appear to be normal. Then
how can he have the ego about his
actions? (5:37-38).
When we think about the Almighty God
we see that the all-pervading God is
apparently a non-doer. He creates this
expanse of the three worlds but He does
not get involved with these actions even
if you call Him a doer. He raises
populations of creatures from the five
elements (earth, water, air, fire and sky or space. See note at the end of the Chapter) and He
is in all, but belongs to none. In fact He is not even aware about the creation and destruction
of the world. (5:76-79). He assumes form by taking birth but His formlessness is not
affected. Therefore to say that He creates, maintains and destroys is rooted in ignorance.
(5:81-82).
When this ignorance is totally destroyed then delusion goes and non-doing nature of God
becomes clear. Once a person is convinced in his mind that God is a non-doer then the
fundamental idea that "He is not different from me" is naturally established. Once this sense
has arisen in the mind then he does not see himself different from anything in the three
worlds and considers the world to be as liberated as he is. (5:83-85). Such persons have a
sense of equability towards everything in this world, (5:88). Such men of Knowledge do not
764
notice differences between different creatures. (5:93-95). Listen now to the characteristics of
the person who possesses this sense of equability. (5:102).
Indifference To Success Or Failure
O ne who is not affected by the success or failure (or gains and losses) of his actions is
a person with sense of equability. He is the Brahman personified. (5:103-104). Due to
the limitless internal bliss of the Self he is not attracted towards the external
worldly pleasures. (5:105-106). It is only those who have not experienced this internal bliss
that are attracted towards the impermanent worldly pleasures. (5:110). The pleasures of the
sense-objects are actually miseries from the beginning to the end but ignorant people cannot
do without them. (5:120). It is these people who are addicted to the sense pleasures that have
given the appearance of truth to this worldly delusion of Maya. (5:126).
Persons who have controlled passions totally are not at all aware of the sorrows born out of
sense-pleasures. (5:129). They are internally filled with bliss. But their way of enjoying that
bliss is unusual. They are not aware that they are the enjoyers because they are in a state of
egolessness and oneness with the Supreme. (5:131-133). This Bliss of the Self is the best, is
indestructible and limitless. Only the desireless persons are worthy of it. (5:146). If you ask
how these persons reached this stage while still living, it is because first they give up the
pleasures with dispassion and concentrating at the point in between the eyebrows and while
controlling the breath (Pranayama), they meditate with their eyes turned backwards. (5:151-
153). Thus their mind turns inwards and through the state of samadhi they take the life-force
and the mind upwards towards the experience of Brahman. When mind dissolves all desires
and ego also dissolves. Therefore he who experiences the bliss becomes one with Brahman
while still living. (5:155-157).

Om Shree Ganeshayae Namah
Saptarishis Astrology Remedies

By
Rabinder Nath Bhandari, India.
Copy Editor: Anup Das, India.
Rabinder Nath Bhandari was born on 26th Dec

1950 and is a science graduate from Punjab University.
He has been studying astrology since 1978 in which 28
years. Being well versed in Urdu, Punjabi, Hindi &
English he has carried out indepth studies on the Lal
Kitab and has delved deeper into Present day
Palmistry along with Indian Samudrik Shastra apart
from doing vast amount of readings for people. He is
passionate about nature photography & often gets
carried away with the simplicity of the Grand designs
of the Gods, this simplicity reflects in his persona
making him an extremely humble and loving human
being. He is considered one of the foremost authorities
on Lal Kitab alive today.
T his section titled Saptarishis Astrology Remedies that was announced in the last issue will be a
regular section in each issue of Saptarishis Astrology. Albeit for this C S Patel Manuscript
Centric Issue, we have dropped all regular sections to accommodate the manuscripts
translations done by earnest scholars. This section will be presented as readers are eagerly waiting for
remedies from a long time. I have taken up a few cases of the numerous cases with an intent to highlight
specific atypical points in the chart / hand so that even scholars can benefit from this analysis. Some
readers have sent low quality hand pictures which are not readable and hence dropped from this section.
Readers are humbly requested to send high resolution pictures for clarity. If the case is unique then we
may also contact readers in different net forums to benefit the readers of SA. The remedies offered by
me will be based on Vedic Astrology and of Lal Kitab which actually is Elemental Remedy based on
Tatvas (Elements) of nature. There lies some doubt about its being a part of Indian Astrology, but in
reality its origin is from the Himalayan region of India. To appear in this section please mail us your
birth details along with digital copies of your both hand prints (without hand prints requests cannot be
attended to) to remedies@saptarishisastrology.com with a cc to admin@saptarishisastrology.com

In this case, I would specifically like to study a time period around 38th year of his age, i.e. just year 2003
(as exact date of start of mental problems is not quoted in the query) as quoted by him, during which he
suffered from mental problems and from that time till date (…looking for some job or business).
Which palm lines suggest about strength of various planets?

(With reference to lal kitab)
There are some points, which I have marked by encircling some area on the palm which speaks a
lot about the strength of some planets; these can be correlated with planets while reading the Horoscope
as well.
772
1) On the right hand palm, from the beginning of the heart line, there are many downward moving
branches, which run up to a length of an approximate age of 38 years, this confirms the position
of the planet Moon being very weak and during this period, the native will have to face some
emotional set backs, which appears to be a continuous process.
2) At the age of approximate 38 years of native, just below the Mount of Sun, a break appears in the
Heart Line. This is an indication of serious ill influence by the planet Moon, which disturbs the
native at an emotional plane, which at a later stage transfers its effects to the mental plane
(represented by the planet Mercury).
3) At the point encircled and marked No 3, there appears a break and a cross, from within the break
on the head line and the cross a fine line moves towards the Saturn Finger (Long Finger) which
indicates about the weakness of the planet Mercury and the line towards the Mount of Saturn
displays some ill influence at this time by the Planet Saturn.
4) After this break in Head Line, it’s further stream stands adversely affected and this line appears
to be followed by an axe line (kuthar rekha), which represents its effects just equal to an Island
formation (confusion in making decision due to duality of thoughts, while making any decision)
and confirms further influence of planet Mercury to be read as weak for future readings from
Horoscope.
5) In both hands, presence of a broken Girdle of Venus, which crosses the mounts of Saturn and
that of Sun, thus renders their influence weak. This line also cuts the Line of Sun and reduces its
strength. This also adds to emotional sensitiveness and Venus in such hands generally gives
negative effects.
6) Analysis of area concerning Life Line - it is also a weak line which tells about the weak
constitution and is not capable of giving a smooth life pattern.
7) Mount of Mars is depressed and is covered by a number of lines, which renders planet Mars as a
weak planet.
8) Fate line too is cut down by a cross line at the age of 38 years, after which it is not clear in your
palm shot, where as the line of Sun can be traced after this period.
Planets in horoscope:
1) Planet Sun is placed in the 12th house, which is associated with Saturn in Navamsha Chart and is at
23 degree. This placement of 2nd lord in the 12th house is a negative point, which will affect the
native’s financial position and add to unwanted expenses of his savings and earnings (because Venus
the 11th lord of the Chalit chart Is placed in the 2nd house in Leo)
2) Planet Moon is placed in 5th house and is in association with its permanent enemy Ketu, which
generally eclipses Moon and at the same time, it is also in its debilitation sign i.e. in Scorpio. When,
ascendant lord is very weak and is under malefic influence through aspect of 8th lord, Saturn renders
natives live a struggling life, make a note of this rule.
3) Mars in this chart appears to be a bit powerful due to its good position in Navamsha Chart, but it’s
placement in 3rd house (6th from 10th house) in basic horoscope renders it as a trouble creating
planet regarding career.
4) Mercury is also not a good planet for natives with Cancer ascendant, because of its inimical relations
with Moon. Mercury is also the lord of 3rd and 12th house. Mercury is also associated with Ketu in
Navamsha Chart.
5) Jupiter is placed in 11th house in association with Rahu, which turns Jupiter to a silent spectator
hence makes Jupiter ineffective.
6) Venus, which is supposed to be a beneficial planet for Cancer Ascendant, is also receiving ill
influences from Rahu, which is occupying it`s sign Taurus (because Rahu and Ketu give their
influence through that planet, in whose sign they get placed). In the Navamsha Chart, Venus is also
associated with Ketu.
7) Saturn is placed in the 8th house as 8th house lord, and aspects Moon the ascendant lord, which adds
negative influence by affecting Moon.
Relation of Rahu and Ketu’s stand is already explained in above quoted planetary positions.
773
Transit of planet Saturn during 2003:
On 01/01/2003, Saturn was at 0.30 degree in Gemini and on 31/12/2003, it was at 15.52 degree in the same
sign. This placement was in 12th sign from Ascendant, where Sun is placed which is also the 8th sign
from the Moon. All health related problems were caused due to the ill transit of Saturn the 8th lord,
transiting the planet Sun, which is placed in the 8th from the Ascendant lord Moon. It is said that when
Saturn transits 8th house from Moon, it creates trouble just equal to death (serious health trouble) or imprisonment
to the native.
Suggested Remedies:
1) Donate rice / milk on Monday; try to get blessings from seniors by paying respect to elderly
persons.
2) Wear a white pearl in right hand ring finger.
3) Donate green millet (SABUT MOONG) on Wednesday.
4) Make it a habit to clean your teeth with water first, as and when you rise early in morning.
5) Avoid losing temper and develop a balanced nature in behaviour with every one.
6) Reference Sun line – even after this period of trouble, it indicates that although you are hard
working, but due to the absence of a clear Fate line and island formation in the Head line you
feel confused in taking any decision in selecting a proper path in your life (regarding career). Try
to fix your mind in a single direction and you can become a good healer.
7) Avoid wearing black color clothes and refrain from alcoholic drinks.
8) Place common salt and green millet in two earthen pots separately in your bed room.
9) Good moral character is must for those, in whose hands; Sun line is cut / crossed by presence of
Girdle of Venus, if they want to derive full results from Sun Line.

Sh. Chiranjilal Purohit Ji has asked only about his Ketu Mahadasha period, but I will discuss
some other aspects of this horoscope, which will throw some light regarding to health related field.
In the birth chart Ketu is placed in the Ascendant in association with Venus and Jupiter. 1st house lord,
Sun is placed in the 12th house along with planet Mercury (lord of 2nd house), but in Nirayana Chalit
Chart, Ketu is placed in the 12th house along with Sun and Mercury. The second combination which is
of worth mentioning in this chart is that of planet Moon and Saturn, which are placed in the 6th house.
The current transit of Saturn is in Virgo. In the Ashtakavarga tables, Saturn had received ZERO
benefic aspect, thus the transit of Saturn in this sign will give malefic effects.
777
According to LAL KITAB system of prediction, in the current year annual chart, all the four
house in centre of horoscope i.e. 1st, 4th, 7th and 10th house are lying vacant and Rahu is placed in 8th
house, for which some specific remedy of Rahu is required to be performed.
Lalkitab Chart Year 2009 - 2010
Overall, effects of all above combinations can be summarised in a few words:-
1) Effects of Ketu will be specific to health - weakness in lower limbs, starting from Lumbar region
and also general debility because of its malefic effects on planet Sun, the ascendant lord.
2) Ketu will also create some skin related diseases, i.e. some kind of skin allergy, eczema or boils.
3) Ailments produced during planet Ketu Mahadasha confuse medical attendants in diagnosis.
4) Above combinations will also affect Vision because, as it affects the 2nd lord, Mercury and both
luminaries in the Chalit Chart i.e. Sun and Moon are afflicted.
Suggested Remedies:
1) Worship Lord Ganesha.
2) Give bread to Dogs out of your food and serve mixed grains of seven types (SAPTDHANYA
OR SATNAJA) to birds.
3) Float dry coconut in running water on Saturday or donate mustard oil on this day.
4) Avoid wearing Black, Blue or clothes of mixed colours i.e. black and white combination, a
combination representing planet Ketu.
5) To strengthen planet Sun, avoid excess intake of common salt, avoid losing temper and take
some sweet after breakfast.
6) To protect your eyesight, which may also be affected due to combination of planet Moon and
Saturn, don’t take pure water for 43 days, while taking water, mix something, such as sugar,
common salt, lemon, milk or fruit juice etc.
7) To ward off ill influence of planet Rahu`s placement in 8th house in this years chart, it is
advisable (if you can perform): take eight kgms of wood charcoal, four kgms of metal Lead (cut
in eight pieces and float these items in flowing waters on any Saturday during day time and
make sure that the skies are clear and sunny.

Query 3: Venkatesan Gopalachary, (Tirunelveli) India
Venkatesan Gopalachary writes about his problem:
Dear Sirs,
I read with interest the May 2009 issue of Saptharishi and amazed to find that Saptharishi can help its readers
solve their problems.
I understand that Mr. Bhandhari will be answering the questions raised by readers concerning solutions to their
problems.
I have a cancerous problem of often losing jobs in short periods of time. I will be grateful if Mr. Bhandhari can help
me solve the mystery.

(Hand Prints Not Provided For Readings)
Important Note (Why Hand Readings Are Must)

While doing Astrological calculations as per data provided, I noticed that three planets i.e. 1st. Saturn
2nd.Rahu and 3rd Ketu were transiting at a degree, in which these may occupy different houses while
using different Ayanamsa tables for calculations at that period, so two different charts as per
Chitrapaksha Ayanamsa and B.V.Raman Ayanamsa are given below, however in both cases, Niranayna
Bhav Chalit Charts are same.
In such cases, where planets present a doubtful picture, it is a must for an Astrologer to apply
corrections based on readings / confirmations from some major life events or to do rectifications
according to Samudrik Shastra i.e. by reading planets from palm lines or other aspects based on ILAM-
E-QIAFFA (as per LAL KITAB ).

Lagna Chart Lalkitab Chart Year 2009 - 2010
Bhav chalit kundli plays an important role while interpreting a horoscope (as Late, Pandit Kewal
Krishan Ji, RajJyotishi, from Patti Amritsar used to say that : BINA CHALIT CHAKKRA, NATTO
JANAM PATRA, which means that without Bhav Chalit Kundli, a Horoscope is of no value.
This rule will apply here in such cases, where planets at such degree, as in this case present a doubtful
placement in different houses.
Overall, effects of all above combinations can be summarised in few words…
1. Placement of Saturn in 3rd house, which is 6th from 10th house, and placement of Moon, which is 6th
lord from 10th house in 10th house plays a negative role in relation to the career. Further, in Chalit
Kundli, Mars is associated with Saturn, which is lord of 12th from Ascendant and that sign is also
occupied by a malefic planet Rahu.
2. Sun, which is the 4th house lord, is also weak in birth chart as well as in Chalit Chart.
783
3. Mercury is also placed in 6th house in birth chart.
The main Karaka Planets are weak as the major planets are in Baal or Mirit awastha (just below 5 degree
or beyond 25 degree), and Jupiter is also combust, so it can be clearly interpreted as a life full of struggles.
Suggested Remedies:
1. Pour milk on Monday in some well.
2. Daily feed some part of your food to crows.
3. Avoid use of black color and reduce excess intake of common salt.
4. Be balanced in behavior just like a scale.
5. Wear green emerald or onyx in short finger or ring finger of your right hand on Wednesday.
6. Worship Durga Maa, as you are currently passing a Mahadasa Period of Mercury.
7. Saturn is also in transit of 8th house from Moon, so make it a habit to float Dry Coconut on
Saturday in running waters.

Right hand shot:
787
Left hand shot:
From hand shots of David Suche, it can be very clearly noticed that in the Right Hand, a line
from beginning of life line moves towards the mount of Jupiter, this makes him very much ambitious
and adds leadership qualities by birth. Fate line tell a story of a self made person, who will rise to a high
level with it’s self working and will invest most of his earnings in landed and buildup properties. A faint
line, which I have highlighted with pen tool, starts from life line and moves up into mount of Saturn,
confirms above mentioned type of investments. But, it’s negative influence is that, in the long term, as
and when the time to enjoy the fruits of his fate comes, Saturn will withdraw all support and ruin the
native and bring him on footpath, especially when such properties are used as living as resting places
temporarily for visitors. (Negative influence of planet Saturn)
Life Line, which is forked towards its termination, points out towards a weak health and a life
full of financial crisis towards old age. (A fork is the sign Mars negative – MANGAL BAD).
Poor formation of Heart Line at various points (just from its very beginning and also at later age
periods) is an indication of weak Moon, which represents a very much disturbed emotional life.
In his Left Hand, Fate line is fragmented at various levels, which shows a much variable life
style. Life Line is absent towards termination, which is treated as a bad sign in any hand. The Head
Line also moves upward to join the Heart Line towards its termination. This is an indication of
emotional shock, after which the brain force loses its co-ordination of thoughts and ideas which are to be
implemented in future plans.
788
A strange picture of life is presented in both palms, which tells that FORTUNE TURNS LIKE A
WHEEL OR JUST LIKE A SWING, WHICH MOVES UP DOWN OR CAN BE COMPARED
WITH RAINBOW COLORS. This means that at one point of time there will be ocean full of riches
and at the other there will be no shine like sands of poverty.
Similarly, weak status of above mentioned three planets i.e. Saturn, Mars and Moon is visible
and total spoiling of game of life appears to have occurred during the negative transit of planet Saturn
from planet Moon and Vimshottari Mahadasha of planet Saturn.
Suggested Remedies:
1. Float dry coconut in running waters on Saturday.
2. Wear a white pearl of approximate weight five carats.
3. Give sweet bread to poor.
4. Avoid wearing black clothes.
5. Try to keep your mind cool and calm.

meticulous observation skills sharpened native or even matching of horoscopes
through decades. He has been a beloved between 2 partners, we should consider the
friend of Saptarishis Astrology since many following rules:
years and now has written the very first
article of his life for Saptarishis Astrology at General Rules:
this ripe age of 70. We expect many articles 1) The 1H (the native himself), 2H
to come out of his experience and in this (family) soubhagya of spouse, 4H

hard work is appreciated in teaming up of marriage life, sex desires), 8H
with P.M.Padia and making this possible. (soubhagya – span of marriage life and
sex ability), 12H (sexual compatibility,
bed pleasure). If these houses or their
790
Lords are afflicted by natural malefic planets (Sun, Mars, Saturn, Rahu, Ketu), the
married life will be disturbed and give separation or divorce. If we find afflictions to 3 or
more of these factors, the chances of problems increase. Please note that for this method, it is
more important to consider the 7H, 8H and 12H with their Lords and karaka
(significator) of 7H (Venus for males and Jupiter for female). Most important if the lord
of 5th, 7th, 8th or 12th is retrograde and if it is malefic and at the same time in any of these
houses (5, 7, 8, 12) then there will be more chances of divorce.
2) Same observations as above will have to be made in the Navamsha chart (D-9) particularly the
good or bad Navamsha positions of the Rashi Lords of 7H, 8H and 12H. So, we should analyse the
Navamsha in itself like we’ve done for the rashi and also see the Navamsha positions of the rashi
lords.
Note: the Karaka for the 2H is Jupiter – for the 4H it is the Moon – for 7H is Venus or Jupiter.
Nakshatras Based Rules:
3) If the Center point (cusp) of the above bhavas (1H, 2H, 4H, 7H, 8H, and 12H), their Lord and
their karakas are in Nakshatras of malefic planets, especially Ketu and Rahu, then marriage
life will be disturbed. The cusps considered here are according to the Sripathi Bhava
calculations (all Vedic astro softwares should have this option).
4) The Moon does not give good results in Anishtakaal Nakshatras (bad for Moon).
Following are the Anishtakaal Nakshatras:
a. The 2nd and 3rd padas of Pushya (6o41 to 13o20 Cancer)

b. Ashlesha (16o41 to 30o00 Cancer)
c. Magha (0o00 to 13o20 Leo)
d. 1st pada of Uttara Phalguni (26o41 to 30o00 Leo)
e. 1st and 2nd padas of Chittra (23o21 to 30o00 Virgo)
f. 4th pada of Vishaka (0o00 to 3o20 Scorpio)
g. Jyeshta (16o41 to 30o00 Scorpio)
h. Mula (0o00 to 13o20 Sagittarius)
i. 3rd pada of Purva Ashada (20o01 to 23o20 Sagittarius)
If the Centre point of 1H, 7H, 8H and 12H is in the above mentioned nakshatras or the
Lords of the 7H, 8H, and 12H and 7H karaka (Venus or Jupiter) are in the above
mentioned nakshatras, this will give disturbance in married life.
The Moon in these Nakshatras will give hardship in life. At the time of birth, if Moon is
in any of these nakshatras, the birth time is called Anishtakaal (Inauspicious time). To
remove the inauspiciousness of these, Vedic astrology suggests performing particular
religious Pooja.
5) If Venus is in the 1st pada of Ashwini Nakshatra (0o00 to 3o20 Aries) or, if Venus occupies
Krittika Nakshatra (26o41 Aries to 10◦00 Taurus), married life will be disturbed.
Other Principles:
791
6) When the 12L is aspecting or conjunct the 7H, or the 7L or 7H karaka or, if the 7L or its
karaka is in the 12H and afflicted by malefic planet.
7) Ketu or Rahu being in the 7H or any two malefic planets conjunct in the 7H or with the
Lord of 7H or its karaka then disturbance in marriage life occurs.
8) Saturn in the 2nd, 8th or 12th house aspected or conjunct with other malefic planets.
9) The Lord of 2H in the 12H or vice versa.
10) When the 8L and 12L conjoint or aspect each other this also is bad for marriage life.
11) Malefic planets afflicting houses 6 and 12 or their lords or karakas of 7H, is one of the
reasons of divorce (because 6th and 12th houses are for sexual compatibility and bed
pleasure for each partner).
12) If the 7th Lord or karaka is placed in the 6, 8 or 12 house or, if the Lord of 6, 8 and 12 is in
7H afflicted by malefic planets, this may also give divorce. If any of these factors are
retrograded, it will also disturb marriage life.
13) In the native’s chart, if Venus and Jupiter are in the 6H or 8H from each other, this gives
disturbance in married life.
14) 7H, 8H, 12H or its lord or karaka(s) of 7H being hemmed in by natural malefic planets
(called Papakartari yoga) brings afflictions.
If any 3 principles or more apply on a chart, then divorce can be predicted depending on the
strength of the planet to give effect or not.
Master Principle for Exceptions:
15) If the Lord and/or karakas of houses 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8 and 12 are in an angle house (kendra) or
in a trine house (trikona) and are aspected by, conjunct with, or ‘hemmed in’ (Subha
Kartari yoga) by benefic planets, this will protect and save the marriage life. Similarly, if
benefics occupy, aspect or hem in the above houses, it also proves beneficial.
So, above all, we need to judge how many bad and unfavourable yogas are present and evaluate
their strength. At the same time, we should see how many good and favourable yogas are found
and what their strength is. If bad yogas are more powerful than good yogas, this will
definitively create difficulties, disappointments, hardships and unhappiness in the life of the
native. And if good yogas are prevailing over bad yogas, there will be happiness, harmony, peace
and progress and marriage life will thus be saved. This mastery of
finding the fine balance between good yogas and bad yogas and coming
to a conclusion can come to you only with ‘Experience’ which no course
in astrology can teach.
We will examine some charts to get a better view of the intertwining

of these factors. Let’s see which one from our selection of famous
personalities will win the laureate of afflictions (competition will be
tight between some of our candidates). Our first criteria will be the
number rules for each and for the finalists, we’ll give you the count of afflictions present.
792
Chart 1: Martha Stewart
Well-known American entrepreneur. In 1960 she met Andy Stewart, 23, a Yale law student
and they married the following year; one child.
To her dismay, Andy moved out in 1987 and they divorced in 1990. The separation was not
amicable and Andy got a court order to keep Martha away. A non-stop compulsive achiever
known for a tendency to run over people, she was said to have put Andy down often.
Let’s start with rule #1 which spells out that houses 7, 8 and 12 with their Lords and 7H
karaka are the first factors we want to examine. We’ll immediately note that the 7H is
hemmed in, its Lord is in the 6H of quarrel and divorce with Ketu and the 7H karaka is in
the 8H with Saturn and receiving Rahu’s aspect – this is bad… Mars is also the 2H Lord.
This also implies that houses 6 & 12 are damaged (rules 1, 6, 7, 10, 11, 13 apply).
Saturn (the Lord of the 4H) is well placed in the sign of Taurus (Kubera = wealth – is she
not the glorious and prosperous queen of household?), but it is in the malefic 8H. It is with
Jupiter, a natural benefic who is nonetheless by its dispositorship of Mars & Ketu. The 1st &
8th Lord, Venus, is hemmed in (rules 1 & 7, 11, 13).
The 1H receives Mars’ aspect, 2H does receive Saturn & Ketu’ aspects and the 4H receives
Sun & Rahu’s glances. Nevertheless, Jupiter does aspect the 12H, 2H of family and 4H of
domestic happiness but these are not free from malefic influences – besides, the 4H karaka
the Moon, receives no malefic aspects but no benefic glances either so, rule 14 does not apply.
This kinds of bundles it for marriage troubles but we’ll still list the Nakshatra afflictions,
just in case anyone had any doubt.
Nakshatra afflictions...
The Ascendant is in Swati (Rahu is Lord) and Saturn the 4th Lord, is in Krittika (Sun)
(rule 2). The Moon is in Mula (Lord Ketu) (rule 3).
793
With all this, Martha Stewart gets 8 negative rules applying.
Chart 2: Linda McCartney
American photographer and musician, a chef and cook-book writer who also happened to the
wife of former Beatles Paul McCartney. Together, they lived an uncommonly stable
marriage contracted on 3/12/1969. For 29 years, she and Paul never spent a night apart except
for one ten-day period when he was arrested and held in a Tokyo jail for having marijuana
on his person. They lived most of their time on a farm in West Sussex, England.
But before, while a student at Sarah Lawrence and the University of Arizona, she married,
had a daughter and divorced in 1963.
Her marriage to Paul McCartney ended when she died of Cancer on April 17, 1998 in
Tucson, AZ.
Born about 2 months after Martha Stewart, we will observe some similar positions as they
even have the same Ascendant.
Again here the 7H is hemmed in and is aspected by Rahu since the Nodes have changed
houses. So now the Lord of the 7H and 2H, retrograde Mars, is alone in the 6H of quarrel
and divorce and faces Rahu’s dispositor, the Sun, placed in the 12H so, houses 6 & 12 are also
damaged – especially since Mars’ can’t help misbehaving, being retrograde. The 7H karaka,
Jupiter (dispositor of Mars & 6L), is with retrograde Saturn in the 8H. Saturn (Lord of
houses 4 & 5) is well placed in the sign of Taurus, but it is in the malefic 8H and it not on its
best behaviour either due to retrogression and being dispositor of ketu. Mercury, the 12th
Lord is in the Ascendant and aspects the 7H. Mercury is conjunct Lagna Lord Venus and
4H karaka Moon – these 3 receive Ketu & Mars’ glances (rules 1, 5, 7, 10, 11, 13 apply).
The 2H receives Jupiter & Saturn’s aspects. Jupiter also positively aspects the 12H and 4H –
let it be mentioned that the 4H as such receives no malefic influence. Venus, 4H karaka
Moon and Mercury are in the Ascendant, an angle, creating Malavaya, Raja and Dhana
yogas. This brings positive relief although Mars and ketu still aspects them all.
Additionally, Jupiter and Venus are in 6/8 relation (rules 1, 12, 14).
794
Nakshatra afflictions…
The Ascendant and its Lord are in Swati (Rahu). Saturn, 4th Lord, is in Krittika (Sun is
Lord), Jupiter is placed in Mirgashira (Mars), the center point of the 8H is in Ardra (Rahu)
and 12th Lord Mercury is in Chitra (Mars) (rules 2 & 3).
Linda McCartney amazingly gets 9 negative rules but these are not as excruciatingly negative as in
Martha Stewart’s case (or other celebrities below) as there is a sense of balance brought in by
favourable yogas – we must conclude that some of the afflictions affected her in other ways
(like dying of breast Cancer with the Moon conjunct 8L & 12L and receiving Mars’ aspect).
Chart 3: Salman Rushdie
Indian writer, a Moslem famed for the condemnation by the Ayatollah of Iran along with
his death sentence given on 2/14/1989, for writing his book "Satanic Verses," 1989. He was
married to his first wife Clarissa Luard from 1976 to 1987 and fathered a son, Zafar. He
married American writer Marianne Wiggins in 1988. They divorced 3/02/1993. In 1997 he
married Editor Elizabeth West and the couple had a son in May 1997. Still married to West,
Rushdie became a couple with 29-year-old Indian model, author and New York City society
girl Padma Lakshmi in early 2000 and they married in Manhattan on April 17, 2004 in a
traditional Hindu ceremony. This was Rushdie’s fourth marriage.
Controversial Mr. Rushdie has Mars in the Ascendant, in its own sign (Ruchaka yoga) and
mutually aspected by both Jupiter and Saturn (Raja & Dhana yogas). Retrograde Jupiter
(also 12th Lord) in the 7H is aspected by Mars and Saturn. Mars is also 8th Lord. Ketu in the
8H aspects the 4H and the 12H. Venus in the 2H is with Rahu and hemmed in (rules 1, 5, 9,
11, 13 apply).
Lord and karaka of 4H, the Moon, is exactly conjunct the Sun (Amavasya) and becomes a
malefic. The 6H receives Saturn and Rahu’s aspects and we have already seen the condition
of Jupiter as 12th Lord. Venus and Jupiter are in 6/8 relation (rules 1, 10, 12).
Other favourable yogas such as Guru-Mangala, Kalpadruma and Vipareet are also present.
To all this, we can add a full course of…
795
Nakshatra afflictions (!)
The Ascendant is in Ashwini (Ketu) while the centre point of the 2H is in Krittika (Sun),
that of the 7H in Swati (Rahu), of the 8H in Anuradha (Saturn) and of the 12H in Uttara
Bhadrapada (Saturn) – so, the centre points of 5 out of the 6 houses under scrutiny are
afflicted. Additionally, Ascendant Lord Mars (1H & 8H) occupies Krittika (Sun), 4H
karaka Moon (also 4th Lord) is in Mrigashira. (Mars) (Rule 2) (He sure looks like the winner
as far as Nakshatra afflictions are concerned… so far).
With all this action, Salman Rushdie gets 8 negative rules all categories considered.
Chart 4: Pamela Anderson
Canadian-American actress, star of the most watched TV show in history, "Baywatch," a

sand-sex-surf-saga marketed to more than 40 countries and watched by a billion people
every week.
After a four-day courtship with "Motley Crue" drummer Tommy Lee, she married him on a
beach in Mexico, February 1995, wearing a white bikini. They had a son on 6/05/1996. With
stormy battles over substance abuse, she filed for divorce on 11/19/1996, Los Angeles, they
reconciled five minutes later. The marriage finally broke up in spectacular demonstration of
spousal abuse that took Tommy Lee to jail and Pamela to the divorce court. He kicked her
once in the back and once in the buttocks. She filed a court order to keep him away.
In April 1999, Pamela had a much publicized bust reduction to balance her exaggerated top-
heavy shape. This monumental event was followed with the announcement of reconciliation
with her drinking, tattooed mate, referring to his beating as an "isolated event." On
4/23/1999 she moved back to their $1.5 million Malibu home, thrilled that her boys have their
daddy back. Their reconciliation soon ran its course and by 2001, Pamela was hot'n'heavy
with rocker Kid Rock.
Free from the afflictions we seek, the 7H even receives an exalted Jupiter aspect (rule
14!) 7L Mars, however, is opposite Saturn while karaka of 7H Jupiter (also 8H Lord), in the
3H is free from aspects. The 8H that shows the gains from marriage receives the combined
aspects of Sun, Mars, Saturn and Rahu (that hurts!) Rahu conjunct the fourth house karaka
796
Moon sits in the 12H that also receives Mars’ aspect – this goes to say that the axis of the
6th and 12th house is harmed by the Nodes (rules 1, 10, with intensity).
The Ascendant is hemmed in between Sun and Rahu and its Lord (Venus) receives Rahu’s
aspect. The 2nd Lord is retrograde, conjunct the Sun and they receive Ketu’s aspect (rules 1,
13). Pamela also has favourable Raja and Gajakeshari yogas.
While the Ascendant is in Mrigashira (Mars), its Lord is placed in Magha (Ketu). The 4th
Lord Sun is in Ardra (Rahu). The 4H centre point is Ashlesha (Mercury), 4H karaka Moon
is in Ashwini (Ketu), that of the 7H is Jyeshta (Mercury) and 7H karaka Jupiter is in
Pushya (Saturn). Then the 7th & 12th Lord, Mars, occupies Chitra (Mars) (rules 2 & 3).
So (hey) Pamela Anderson gets 5 negative rules.
Chart 5: Woody Allen
American comedian, writer, actor and film director, screenwriter, play writer and musician,
gifted and appealing. The ultimate pessimist, Allen is an hedonic, one who is
psychologically unable to enjoy himself; in therapy for over 20 years, perhaps the funniest
neurotic of the 20th century.
At 19, he married a 17-year-old student, Harlene Rosen. The marriage lasted five years. He
married a second time, to actress Louise Lasser, and they had several good years together
before calling it quits.
He is said to have been ‘together’ with his co-star of 5 movies, Diane Keaton.
In the fall of 1979 he met Mia Farrow, who had seven children. They slowly began a
relationship early in 1980, wondrous at how different they were. The relationship began
falling apart in the end of the '80s.
On 12/01/1991, he began an affair with Soon-Yi (about age 21), one of Farrow's adopted tribe.
When Farrow found out, it became a highly public explosion. She accused him of molesting
daughter Dylan on 8/04/1992, which was never proven.
On a chilly afternoon, 12/23/1997, Allen, 62, married Soon-Yi Previn, 27, at a municipal
building in Venice, Italy.
797
To start with, the 7H receives aspects from Ketu and Mars; 7L & 4L Jupiter is in the 2H
facing the benefic Moon and karaka Venus is conjunct Rahu that creates a Pitru dosha in the
5H. Venus is hemmed in by Rahu and Saturn. The 8H, where 4H karaka Moon is placed,
receives Saturn & Mars’ aspects and the 8L is aspected by Rahu. Saturn in the 6H aspects
the 12H and Mars aspects 12th Lord, the Sun (rules 1, 10, 13, 14).
Mars in the Ascendant receives Rahu’s aspect – same Rahu is in a very close conjunction
with Mercury, the Ascendant Lord (rule 1).
His Ascendant escapes difficult Nakshatras! But then, the centre point of the 2H is Swati
(Rahu), that of the 4H in Mula (Ketu), that of the 7H Uttara Bhadrapada (Saturn), for the
8H it is Ashwini (Ketu) and the 12H cusp is in Magha (Ketu). The 12th Lord Sun is in Uttara
Ashada, its own Nakshatra (rules 2 & 3). To balance his difficulties, Mr. Allen also has Raja,
Dhana, Gajakeshari, Kalpadruma and Brahma yogas.
We’ve got 5 consistent negative rules for Woody Allen.
Ready for another cinema character? Here she comes….
Chart 6: Brigitte Bardot
French actress called "the French sex-kitten" for over 25 years, lush and pouty. A model at 15
for magazine covers, she became the protégé of director Roger Vadim; they married on
12/20/1952. The press have chronicled her misfortunes with relish, her marriage
misadventures, the abandonment of her baby son and her suicide attempts.
Actor Jacques Charrier was her second husband and the father of her son, and millionaire
playboy Gunther Sacks was her third husband. On 8/16/1992, she was married in
Switzerland for the fourth time to seven-year-younger Bernard d'Ormale. When she
overdosed on pills on 11/14/1992, her husband said it was an accident.
798
The 7H has the 4H karaka Moon (9L) and they both receive Rahu’s glance. Meanwhile,
Venus (7L and 12L) is uncomfortably sandwiched (hemmed in) between Ketu/Mars in
Cancer and Sun in Virgo whilst the 7H karaka Jupiter (2L & 5L), conjunct Mercury (8L) in
the 12H, receives Mars and Saturn’s aspects (7H matters get a full score). The 8H receives
Jupiter’s benefic aspect and retrograde Saturn (4L), is conjunct Rahu and aspected by Ketu
conjunct Mars (6L) intensifying the difficulties. This means that the 6H/12H axis is
afflicted (rules 1, 8, 10, 11, 13).
The 4H receives Mars and Venus’ glances and no aspects are found on the 2H (rule 1).
Some of the favourable yogas ornamenting Ms. Bardot’s chart are Chamara, Amala,
Brahma, Raja and Dhana yogas…
The Ascendant is in Jyeshta (Mercury) and the 2H cusp is in Uttara Ashada (Sun). The 7th
and 12th Lord, Venus, occupies the 1st pada of Uttara Phalguni (Sun). Meanwhile, 7H karaka
and 2nd Lord Jupiter is in Chitra (Mars) and 4th Lord Saturn is in Dhanishta (Mars) (rules 2
& 3).
Brigitte Bardot gets a pungent 7 negative points.
Chart 7: Donald Trump
American entrepreneur who made a fortune estimated at $1 billion by finding and buying
losing properties and turning them around.
Trump had a 13 year marriage with Ivana whom her met in 1975, producing three children;
Donald Jr. in 1978, Ivanka in 1982 and Eric in 1986. Their divorce in 1991 was highly
publicized with accusations of his affair with Marla Maples and Ivana reaming Trump for as
much as she could at the time, settling for a $3.5 million dollar home and $14 million. With
this being only 1.5% of his net worth, she continued to pursue for a higher settlement. With
the publication of Ivana's tell-all book, Donald brought a $25 million law suit against Ivana
799
7/30/1992 for breach of privacy. His tempestuous relationship with Marla Maples
included a public shouting match in October 1992 in a restaurant. Their daughter Tiffany
was born 10/13/1993. Trump separated from Marla in May 1997 with a pre-nup between one
and five million.
Giving her a $2 million 12-carat diamond ring, Trump became engaged to Slovenian-born
model Melania Knauss on April 26, 2004. They have lived together for the past five years.
The multi-millionaire married for the third time on January 22, 2005 in Palm Beach, Florida,
this time to Melania Knauss. The marriage ceremony was scheduled to begin at 7 PM.
The 7H receives a mixture of Rahu, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn’s glances. Saturn (7L & 8L) is
conjunct karaka Venus in the Lagna and they both receive Ketu’s aspect. The 8H receives
Mars’ aspect while the Sun (2L) is conjunct Rahu. Retrograde 2H karaka Jupiter (6L & 9L)
receives Rahu and Saturn’s glances. Mercury, the 12L is in his own house and receives no
aspects – however, the 12H is hemmed in between Sun/Rahu and Saturn (rules 1, 11, 13).
Raja Yogakaraka Mars is in the 2H and aspects the Moon (4H karaka) which is in a fallen
condition and caught up in a total eclipse (!) (Rule 1).
The Ascendant occupies Ashlesha (Mercury) and 2nd Lord Sun is placed in Mrigashira
(Mars). The 2H karaka Jupiter is in Chitra (Mars again), the 4H cusp is in Swati (Rahu),
the Moon is in Jyeshta (Mercury), the 7H center point is in Dhanishta (Mars) and 12th Lord
Mercury is in Ardra (Rahu) (rules 2 & 3). We can easily imagine that Mr. Trump’s chart
reveals Raja and Dhana yogas but also a Tapaswi yoga for an austere and dedicated person…
(to his cause).
“The Donald” gets 5 negative rules.
800
Chart 8: Nathalie Wood
American actress, one of the few child stars who was able to make the transition from child
roles to teenage and adult roles.
Natalie' love life was active and complicated. She married actor Robert Wagner in 1957 when
she was 19. The couple bought a house and tried to meet the demands of their respective
careers. Neither handled money very well and soon the marriage was in trouble. They
divorced after five years. Gossip columnists reported every spat and suspected liaison.
Natalie was romantically linked with actor Warren Beatty and the two became the most
written about Hollywood duo of 1962. After they split up, Natalie and Warren remained
close friends.
She later was engaged to Arthur Loew and Ladislav Blatnik, a shoe manufacturer from
Caracas. Natalie also dated Elvis Presley, Raymond Burr, Frank Sinatra, and Henry Jaglom.
Six years after her divorce from Wagner, Natalie married the handsome Brit, Richard
Gregson, an agent turned producer. They had one child, a daughter named Natasha but
divorced in 1972. Natalie then married Robert Wagner for the second time. They had a
daughter, Courtney, and Wagner adopted Natasha.
Retrograde karaka and bhadakesh Jupiter (also 4L & 7L) is in the 6H (divorce, wars) and is
recipient of an 8H Mars aspect (Mars is also 8L). Saturn, the 6L of conflicts and 5L of
romance occupies the 7H and receives Rahu’s aspect. The 8H which holds 4H karaka Moon
is sandwiched between Saturn and Ketu (hemmed in); the 8L, Mars is fallen and badly
combust by the Sun as 12L – plus, they both receive Rahu’s aspect – Mars and the Moon
exchange houses (2 bad Lords for Virgo rising). 6L, 6H and 12L are all afflicted by malefics.
But, benefic Jupiter and Venus also occupy the 6H and 12H respectively (rules 1, 9, 10, 11, 13).
Saturn and Ketu aspect the Ascendant while Lagna Lord, Mercury, is conjunct Mars and
Sun receiving Rahu’s aspect; the 4H receives Saturn’s aspect and Venus, Lord of the 2H of
family life is in the 12H (rules 1, 8). This good lady has some Raja and Dhana yogas.
801
Here the center point of the 2H is Swati (Rahu). The 7H karaka Jupiter, also 4th and
7th Lord, occupies Shatabishak (Rahu), 8th Lord Mars is in Pushya (Saturn) and the 12H Lord
Sun is in Pushya (Saturn) (rules 2 & 3).
Nathalie Wood obtains a consistent 8 negative rules like Salman Rushdie.
Chart 9: Britney Spears
Spears married childhood friend Jason Allen Alexander on January 3, 2004, at The Little
White Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas. The marriage lasted 55 hours, ending with an
annulment stating that Spears "lacked understanding of her actions to the extent that she
was incapable of agreeing to marriage because before entering into the marriage the Plaintiff
and Defendant did not know each others' likes and dislikes, each others' desires to have or
not have children, and each other's desires as to State of residency".
In July 2004, Spears announced her engagement to Kevin Federline, three months after they
met. Federline had recently been in a relationship with actress Shar Jackson, who was eight
months pregnant with their second child. On the night of September 18, Spears married
Federline in a surprise, non-denominational ceremony at a residence in Studio City,
California, filing legal papers on October 6. She gave birth to her first child, Sean Preston
Federline, nearly one year later, on September 14, 2005 in Santa Monica, California by a
scheduled caesarean section.
‘Brit’ announced her second pregnancy in May 2006 during an appearance on The Late Show
with David Letterman. Just two days before Sean's first birthday, Spears gave birth to her
second son, Jayden James Federline on September 12 in Los Angeles. Spears filed for divorce
from Federline on November 7, 2006, citing irreconcilable differences and asking for both
physical and legal custody of their two children, with visitation rights for Federline. The
couple reached a global settlement agreement in March 2007 and their divorce was finalized
in July.
802
While the 7H receives Saturn, Rahu and Mars’ aspects, karaka Jupiter (Lord or 4H & 7H)
is in the 2H of family life which is hemmed in Saturn, malefic Mercury and Sun (tough
start). The 8H receives Jupiter’s benefic aspect but the 8L, Mars, is placed in the 12H,
hemmed in between Rahu and Saturn. Saturn (6L), placed in the 1H receives Ketu’s glance.
12th Lord Sun which is conjunct Mercury, the Lagna Lord, is aspected by Saturn, Mars and
Rahu – so, Sun and Mars are exchanging houses (3H & 12H). Mars also afflicts the 6H
(rules 1, 9, 10, 13, 14).
Venus (2L) placed with 4H karaka Moon is conjunct Ketu to the very degree and the 4H
receives no aspects but is hemmed in between Mercury/Sun and Ketu (rules 1, 13). Amongst
her glorious yogas, Britney has Gajakeshari, Amala, Raja and Dhana yogas, and
interestingly, a couple of ascetic’s yogas: Tapaswi and Parivraja.
To make a long story short, basically, all houses’ centre points, all karakas and pertinent
house Lords are in bad Nakshatras. That was rules 2 & 3.
With all this, “Brit” gathers some 6 negative rules.
Chart 10: Margaret Trudeau
Canadian noted family, the daughter of a former cabinet minister and political wife of Pierre
Trudeau from 3/04/1971 to 1976. They had three sons by 1974 when M. Trudeau was
hospitalized for psychiatric treatment.
She left the marriage in 1976 for the drug-culture option of the "Rolling Stones" and racketed
around New York "making the scene." She appeared in the film "Kings and Desperate Men"
in 1978 and wrote an autobiography, "Beyond Reason" in 1979, divorced Trudeau in 1983 and
married Fried Kemper. They had two children, a boy in 1985 and a girl in 1990. Maintaining
her link with show biz, she spent three years as a local talk show host. Her husband went
bankrupt in 1993 and now runs a smaller realty firm.
803
Jupiter, Mars and Saturn all aspect the 7H (some good and some bad), Jupiter aspects
Venus (7L & 12L in the 9H) while karaka Jupiter (2l & 5L) is free from aspects. Ketu glances
at the 8H and 8L Mercury occupies the 11H that is in a perfect Papakartari yoga. Mars (1H &
6H) conjunct Ketu receives Saturn’s glance – so, Mars and the Nodes afflict the 6/12 houses
axis. We shall note that the 12H and its occupants are hemmed in by Mercury and Jupiter
(some positive) (rules 1, 10, 14).
Jupiter is in the Ascendant which is good but 4H karaka Moon in the 2H receiving Rahu’s
glance; 4L Saturn is conjunct the Sun and the 4H receives the combined aspects of Ketu,
Saturn and the Sun aspect (rules 1). Not many yogas in this chart but, out of all our
personalities, Margaret Trudeau is the only person with 2 trines and the 7L receiving benefic
aspects – these are 5H, 9H & Venus.
The Ascendant which occupies the 4th pada of Vishaka and all houses cusps are in bad
Nakshatras save for the 4H. The Moon is in Mula (Ketu) and the 4th Lord, Saturn is in
Magha (Ketu). Venus, the 7th and 12th house Lord is in Pushya (Saturn) (rules 2 & 3).
Canada’s ex-lady earned 4 negative rules.
Our finalists are…
Britney Spears = 6 rules

Brigitte Bardot = 7 rules
Martha Stewart = 8 rules
Salman Rushdie = 8 rules
Nathalie Wood = 8 rules
Linda McCartney = 9 rules
We’ll need to proceed by elimination. To make a more detailed count, we have scientifically
considered each malefic influence or aspects on all houses, Lords and karakas concerned.
Linda McCartney = gets a total of 28 afflictions. Besides, she does have 3 benefics on angles
and nice yogas despite some bad hits -
Martha Stewart = has 22 afflictions. Some good placements are found but they do not create
the benefic yogas we’d wish to find. The difficulties are rather intense like the lady herself -
Salman Rushdie = surprisingly gets a total of 21 afflictions. Yogas, yogas, yogas… are to be
found here. But his Moon (mind) is quite afflicted -
Brigitte Bardot = gets 25 afflictions. She’s got some very nice yogas though -
Nathalie Wood = gets 24 afflictions. Some good yogas are there but the difficulties are quite
concentrated -
Britney Spears = has 35 afflictions (!) Yeap, she’s got good yogas but her ascetic yogas suggest
that she would benefit in using her inborn capacities to perform austerities for simplifying
804
and purifying her life – in doing so, she could benefit from them; otherwise, they may
just destroy her (so far, she has been doing the “otherwise”)…
The laureate of afflictions is won by… Britney Spears!!

In the next issue I would give out special rules for ascertaining happy marriage life and
especially laying more stress on those rules which over rule the bad yogas.

Australia Writes
himanshu is made up of him+anshu "him" in sanskrit means ice (as in
himalaya - house of ice) and anshu is a form of the root "ansha" meaning
part put together, himanshu means piece of ice.
More than 10 years ago - when I visited NASA, Huston, TX,USA - I told
them that "hima-nshu" is what NASA calls Moon.
The rishis of ancient times, did not name him "himanshu" just like that.
There was a reason and a motivation for calling him "himanshu" now, they
(NASA scientists) have reconciled with that piece of intellectual
information.

NASA finds water on the moon

WASHINGTON (AFP) - A "significant amount" of frozen water has been
found on the moon, the US space agency said heralding a giant leap
forward in space exploration and boosting hopes of a permanent lunar
base.
Preliminary data from a dramatic experiment on the moon "indicates the
mission successfully uncovered water in a permanently shadowed lunar
crater," NASA said in a statement on Friday.
"The discovery opens a new chapter in our understanding of the moon," it
added, as ecstatic scientists celebrated the landmark discovery.
"Yes indeed we found water and we did not find only a little bit but a
significant amount," said Anthony Colaprete, project scientist and
principal investigator for the 79-million-dollar LCROSS mission.
The data was found after NASA sent two spacecraft crashing into the
lunar surface last month to probe Earth's nearest neighbor for water.

difficult.
publisher of Saptarishis Astrology.
The information given by our ancestral
astrologers about Nodes are very useful but
it requires deep thinking to interpret its
predictive influence with reference to
experience of present time. After
continuous study and review on the basis of
experience of fifty years in the field of
806
astrology, the author has tried to give the specific interpretation about the influence of
Nodes in this article. North Node and South Node are only sensitive points and do not have
physical body of their own. So they are considered shadow planets.
But effect of these Nodes is observed similar to physical planets. In an agricultural land if there
is a shadow under the big tree, it is observed that no crops can be grown in the area of this shadow.
Similarly whenever shadow of these Nodes covers any sign of the Zodiac, it gives
unpredictable effect to that sign and also to the planet which becomes lord of this sign.
According to the basic principle of astrology, North Node (Rahu) is considered mouth of
serpent and it is broad that shows development; while South Node (Ketu) is considered tail of
serpent which is narrow that shows restriction.
Influence of North Node - Rahu:
N orth Node always gives good result in the signs of Mercury and Venus. North
Node is considered as shadow of Moon. Shadow always remains inseparable from
its object. The North Node being the shadow of the moon, it gives strong effect in
the sign of Moon that is Cancer. North Node is not favourable in fiery sign i.e. in the sign of
Aries, Leo & Sagittarius. It is therefore clear that North Node in the sign of Taurus, Libra,
Gemini, Virgo, Aquarius and Cancer gives beneficial result whether it is situated alone or
with other planets. Though the result of North Node in above signs is favourable but not
straight forward and it creates difficulty for giving the good result. North Node in these signs
gives success by one’s intelligence, firmness and strong efforts. North Node gives good
result for the matter pertaining to material world.
Whenever, North Node is places in any house in the sign other than signs of Mercury,
Venus and Moon, it creates many difficulties for the matter of that house and planet which
owns the sign and gives adverse result which can not be avoided. Therefore it is clear that
North Node in the sign of Leo, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn & Pisces does not give
favourable result.
For an instance, if North Node in Scorpio sign placed in the sixth house, it creates difficulty
in the service of a native. In this situation, native has to pass through tough period with
quarrels and court cases and it so happens that native has to leave the service.
Influence of South Node - Ketu:
N orth Node is considered as broad portion while South Node is considered as narrow
portion. Therefore, main characteristic of South Node is to create narrowness and
restrict the circumstances for giving beneficial result in the life of a native. Our
ancestral astrologers have considered the South Node for giving spiritual knowledge and
therefore it gives salvation. South Node is connected with occult science, religion, spiritual
reading and also with modesty and humbleness. South Node gives good result for the matter
pertaining to non-material world.
South Node is favourable in fiery sign i.e. in the sign of Aries, Leo and Sagittarius. South
Node gives beneficial result in the signs of Mars and Jupiter i.e. in the signs of Aries,
Scorpio, Sagittarius and Pisces. As per natural characteristic of South Node, it is a planet of
restriction and impediment. Therefore, if it is placed in unfavourable sign other than the
signs of Mars and Jupiter, it creates totally negative results for the matter pertaining to that
807
house and planet which owns the sign. For an instance, if South Node is placed in the second
sixth or tenth house in unfavourable sign such as Taurus, Libra, Gemini and Virgo, then the
result of these houses is experienced totally negative, that is in the second house, shortage of
money, in the sixth house difficulty in service and in the tenth house failures in career are
observed.
Prediction of North Node - Rahu:
N odes represent the planet which is owner of the sign in which these Nodes are
placed. If North Node is in Taurus, it represents the planet Venus and gives the
results of Venus. In this case, North Node will give the result which Venus is
supposed to give. Here North Node is giving the result; therefore result of Venus will be
very beneficial because North Node is considered giving favourable result in the sign of
Venus. Therefore, Node is the main planet which gives the result of the house in which it is
placed. The planet which is owner of this house will give subsidiary result.
For an instance, Venus is placed in Virgo and North Node is placed in Taurus. Here Venus is
in debilitated sign, but North Node will not give adverse result of Venus because North Node is
placed in its favourable sign of Venus. Therefore, North Node will give the beneficial result of
Venus. This can be interpreted clearly during Vimshottari Dasa System. In this case
whenever, a native passes through Venus period, it will not give beneficial result. In this
period a native experience shortage of money and prosperity. But when a native passes through
North Node period, then native experiences good result of Venus and gets money and prosperity.
North Node, in the sign of Sagittarius and Pisces gives specific results. For an instance, if
Jupiter is placed in an exalted sign of Cancer and North Node is placed in Sagittarius, then
North Node represents Jupiter. North Node is placed in unfavorable sign of Sagittarius;
therefore it does not give beneficial result regarding the matter of Jupiter. Therefore, during
Vimshottari dasa period of North Node, a native will get adverse and evil results of Jupiter
even though Jupiter is placed in its exalted sign of Cancer. For clarification of this principle, the
following birth chart is given.
Case 1:
Native - Male
Date of Birth - 30 / 31-05-1955, Time of Birth - 4-20 AM, Place of Birth -
Nadiad (Gujarat)
808
Vimshottari Rahu period: 22-11-1969 to 23-11-1987
In the above chart Ascendant is in Aries and Jupiter is in Cancer placed in the fourth
house. North Node is in Sagittarius and placed in ninth house. Jupiter is in its exalted sign
Cancer. But North Node placed in the sign of Jupiter, is not beneficial for giving the result
of Jupiter. Here North Node represents Jupiter. Therefore during the Vimshottari Dasa
period of North Node, it is supposed to give the results of Jupiter relating to the matter of
fourth house (Mother, House, Peace, Happiness etc.), ninth house (father) and twelfth
house (Bondage).
Here North Node is placed in unfavourable sign of Jupiter, therefore a native gets adverse
and evil results for the houses mentioned above during the period of North Node. Ninth
House shows the Father, native’s father lost both the eyes and so he had to live in ordinary
state during this period. In this circumstance native’s father was helpless, jobless & had to
live under the care of relatives with complete dependency. Native’s father lost his income
and he could not have his own house. Therefore the native had to live without any facility of
education and comfort and suffered many difficulties during this period.
Prediction of South Node - Ketu
P rediction of South Node is similar to North Node; South Node gives beneficial result
in the signs of Sagittarius and Pisces. For an instance if in a birth chart of a native,
Jupiter is a weak planet; it gives weak result during the Vimshottari dasa period of
Jupiter. But if South Node is placed in Sagittarius in the same birth chart, native gets good
results for the matter of Jupiter during the Vimshottari period of South Node. It also gives
the good result of the house in which South Node is placed.
South Node in the sign of Mercury, Venus and Moon gives adverse result. Gemini, Virgo,
Taurus, Libra and Cancer are unfavorable signs of South Node. For an instance, in a birth
chart of a native, if South Node is in Cancer and Moon is in Taurus or Cancer, then during
the Vimshottari dasa period of South Node, a native gets adverse result for the matter
pertaining to Moon. The reasons are that South Node is in unfavourable sign of Cancer
giving adverse result of Moon. Moon is placed in its own or exalted sign of Cancer or
Taurus, but South Node will spoil the result of Moon because it is in unfavourable sign of
Cancer as mentioned above. In a natural horoscope, the sign Cancer shows the fourth house
which indicates internal peace and happy family life. But in this case, South Node in the
sign of Cancer shows the lack of above matter of fourth house and creates adverse
circumstances and many difficulties.
For clarification of this principle, the following birth chart is given.
Case 2
Native : Female
Date of Birth : 5-12-1952, Time of Birth : 00-10 AM, Place of Birth : Nadiad
(Gujarat)
Vimshottari Ketu period: 18-01- 1996 to 18-01-2003
In the above chart Ascendant is in Leo and South Node is in Cancer and placed in twelfth
house. Here South Node is in Cancer and therefore it represents the Moon, the owner of the
809
sign in which South Node is placed. South Node in the sign of Cancer is unfavorable for
giving beneficial result of Moon. South Node in the sign of Moon is supposed to give
1
adverse result for the matter of twelfth house in which South Node is place, eleventh house
in which Moon is placed and for the Karaka matter of Moon. This adverse result is
experienced during Vimshottari Period of South Node.
The matter pertaining to twelfth house is bondage, feeling confinement, restriction in every
walk of life etc. Native’s home life is totally disturbed. Husband of the native is not of her
liking. She has no issues due to ovary problem and therefore she feels lonely at home. Native
feels confinement at her own home and seeks solace and peace at different residence of her
relatives.
The matter pertaining to eleventh house is benefit and ambition. Native is qualified with
M.A. B.Ed with Library Science, but she could not get proper service according to her choice
and wherever she has served, she could not remain more than three months due to her
mental unsteadiness. Cancer also indicates liver in human body, therefore South Node is
sign of Cancer gives adverse result to digestive system. Native suffers from indigestion and
acidity and has to take medicine regularly for this trouble.
Conjunction of Planets with North Node (rahu) and South Node (ketu)
W henever a planet or planets are in conjunction with Nodes, then during the
Vimshottari dasa period of the planet, connected with the Node, it will give
very beneficial result to the native if Nodes are placed in their favourable signs.
For instance, in a birth chart, if North Node (rahu) is in Virgo in conjunction with Jupiter
and Saturn. Here, North Node is placed in its favourable sign of Virgo; therefore, beneficial
results are experienced by a native during Vimshottari dasa period of Jupiter and Saturn
which are in conjunction with North Node. During this period a native gets good results in
his life for the matter relating to Jupiter and Saturn with his intelligent efforts because
1 Publisher: Refer to editorial where we have mentioned 11H for wife & children, in case of female natives it would be
husband and children, you can see how this chart vibrates with Ketu’s dispositors effect in the 11H and has not given her
children and good marital life.
810
North Node is in the sign of Mercury. Similarly it can be interpreted for the result of
the planets in conjunction with South Node.
For clarification of above principle, the following birth chart is given
Case 3
Native : Male
Date of Birth : 10 / 11-06-1922, Time of Birth : 1H – 45M- AM, Place of
Birth : Ahmedabad (Gujarat)
In the above chart, Ascendant is in Pisces and North Node is in Virgo placed in the seventh
house in conjunction with Jupiter and Saturn. The native has following period of
Vimshottari dasa in his life.
1-09-1984 to 1-09-2000 Jupiter Period
1-09-2000 to 1-09-2019 Saturn Period
During the period of Jupiter, native got good result about family and astrological activity. In
year 1986 marriage of daughter happened and his son got service in insurance company, in
year 1993, marriage of son in highly established family, these are the auspicious events in the
life of a native. In year 1988, native started his office in Ahmedabad for astrological
Consultation. During the above period, native began to write a book on astrology and came
across many opportunities to deliver lectures and teaching on astrological subjects.
During the period of Saturn native has completed his writing of book on the subject “Art of
Prediction in Astrology”. The book was published with good response in November-2000.
Again in year 2007, the second edition of this book was published. During the same year
2007, native wrote a new book on the subject “Prediction of Transit Planets”. Therefore,
during the period of Saturn from 1-09-2000 and onward, native has achieved high esteem in
astrology and public exposure. Considerable progress and development in astrological field is
experienced by native during this running period of Saturn2.

Publisher: One may notice previous commentaries by Saptarishis Astrology, we have always maintained that 11H is the
house of Jyotisha ‘too’ and here one can see that during the period of the 11L that is Saturn the native attained high esteem in
astrology and his writings were published.
811
Planet Gripped by North Node and
South Node:
A Planet in conjunction, opposition or in
square aspect to Nodes is considered as
gripped planet when the degree of the
planet is less than the degree of Nodes.
The closest grip between planet and Node
will be within five degree difference
between.
Result of gripped planet is observed less

than expectation or almost nil. If powerful
planets are gripped by Nodes, they also do
not give good result. There is all possibility
to be wrong in astrological prediction
whenever such type of planetary situation
arises.
For clarification of this principle, we take
the same birth chart as mentioned above.
In the above chart, Ascendant is in Pisces

Around 111 years ago, the great personality
that was Subhash Chandra Bose was born in
Cuttack, Orissa. He was a brilliant student,
and did his B. A. in Kolkata. In England he
passed the I.C.S. examination with merit.
Out of his rebellious and independent spirit
arose his life mission. He joined the
national movement for the liberation of his
motherland from the British, a cause for
which he sacrificed his life. He was greatly

He has several articles published in the surrounding his tragic death, a most

Structure and Nature: Aries Ascendant 24°36´, medium height, Moon in Pisces in

towards his goal with great might, vigor and militant
temperament.
On Aries Ascendant at 24°36´ the fixed star ARIETIES (a

pearly white star situated on the horn of the Ram) was
transiting at 26°00´. This star’s characteristics are like Mars
conjuncts Jupiter according to Ptolemy. I.e. rulership,
positivity, prone to bloodshed, bravery, firmness, gain of
ruling power, true militancy. The Moon, Virgo 07°29´, in
trine with (1) Sun Capricorn 11°09´ (2) Mercury 09°36´ (3)
M.C. Capricorn 12°21´ gave him intelligence, ambition,
rulership, and determination.
All these clues give us satisfactory answer to the validity of the chart.
Officially, Bose died in a plane crash over Taiwan, while flying to Tokyo on 18 August 1945.
However, his body was never recovered, and many theories have been put forward
concerning his possible survival. One such claim is that Bose actually died in Siberia, while
in Soviet captivity. Several committees have been set up by the Government of India to
probe into this matter. Here I have considered only the ‘Death Mystery’ of Subhash
Chandra Bose. Since much is known about his life and mission, I have not analyzed the
other events in his life for want of space. Yet, to mention in brief, during the ages 11 to 18, he
814
was running the Vimshottari dasa of hot, red, and youthful Mars. Then, from ages 19 to 36,
he ran Rahu dasa. Rahu in the 10th house in the constellation of ascendant lord Mars (also in
trine to it) gave him foreign travel, jail, political involvement, etc. He was elected as
president of the Indian National Army in 1938.
The session held at Haripur, defeating Pattabhi Sitaramaiya, the candidate proposed by
Mahatma Gandhi (Jupiter / Mercury) formed Indian National Army on 21-10-1943
(Jupiter/Sun Period)
Life Span or Longevity: Jaimini is the best for judging longevity of any nativity. Ayur-
Khand (span) at short (0-36 Years), Middle (36-72) and Long (72-108) is fixed in the system.
(1)Method of Pairs/Principle of exclusion: Ascendant lord and 8th lord Mars (in Taurus-
Fixed sign) shows short life. (2) Ascendant Aries-movable sign and 8th cusp Scorpio-fixed
sign –shows middle span. (3)Hora lagna in Virgo 20°-dual sign and ascendant is movable
sign shows short life.
Out of above three pairs—short life (up to 36) is indicated, but Subhash Chandra Bose died
on 18-08-1945 according to the reports then received, at the age of 48 years 6 months 24 days.
So, the Ayur khand actually fell in middle-span (36-72 years).
Kakshya Vriddhi:
(1) Venus, the lord of Pakka Lagna and also lord of AK (Atma Karak – soul significator) and
dispositor of Lagna Lord and 8th lord Mars- aspected by Jupiter the lord of fate, elevates the
span from short to middle (36-72).
(2) Strongest of the 8th lord or 8th from the 8th (3rd lord) becomes Rudra. If it is posited in the
house 2-5-8 or 11th than Middle life span is to be taken. Here the planet Venus, being AK, is
posited in the 10th shows middle span (36-72).
(3) 8th lord from AK if posited in 2-5-8 or 11th, the succedent houses, than middle span is
indicated. Here 8th (Capricorn as per Jaimini System) lord from AK is Saturn, posited in 8th
from Ascendant also shows middle span.
(4)8th lord from AL is Saturn, posited in the 8th give middle span.
Now the planets, touching the longevity, contribute as follows:
Each degree = 1.1 Year (according to scholar Iranganti Rangacharya). Thus: Ascendant
degree, Mars, Sun, Moon, Venus and 8th cusp give
(1) 36 + (30 – 25 Asc. Degree ) 1.1 = 41-06-00 ( yr- m-d )

(2) 36 + (30 – 19 Mars ) 1.1 = 48 –01-06
(3) 36 + (30 – 11 Sun ) 1.1 = 56-10-24
(4) 36 + (30 – 07 Moon ) 1.1 = 61-03-18
(5) 36 + (30 – 20 Venus ) 1.1 = 40-04-24
th
(6) 36+ (30 – 23 8 Cusp ) 1.1 = 43-08-12
815
-----------------
291-10-24
The total divided by 6 gives 48-07-24 yr-m-d. as longevity. Netaji died at the age of 48-06-25
yr-m-d.
One more rule, supports the middle span, which is: If 8th lord from AK (Here Saturn) from
Ascendant is in 7-8-or 9th house than death occurs in the 2nd quarter of longevity
compartment (1 house = 9 Years X 4 =36 years, up to short life span) 2nd quarter comes
between 47-03 yr-m and 49-06 yr-m in the middle compartment tallies with above total years
of longevity at the time of death.
No hope for Purnayu - as in Trishamsa chart, 8th house occupied by Rahu- Ketu in
Capricorn and in Scorpio Navamsa Ascendant, the 8th house is occupied by Mars and Pluto.
Badhakesh Saturn for Aries Ascendant in 8th opposing Mars (body lord) and aspecting Sun
can’t grant more years to the native withholding it’s Karakatwa for 8th house being
badhakesh !!
Year of death: Progressed Trishamsa Ascendant at the rate of 1 year per house gives clue for
the dangerous year keeping life-span in mind in the connection with proper dasa. This
progressed house, in Trishamsa, should form trine with Saturn or should transit from the 7th
to Saturn. The aspect sometimes also gives the year of death.
Here Trishamsa Ascendant is Gemini , counting 1 year per one house anti clockwise, the 49th
death year of Bose, comes to Ascendant itself. Saturn in the 4th house aspects Ascendant,
the 49th Year. The sign arrived at the sum of Rashyadi of Ascendant, Sun and Mandi comes

Month of Death: Month of death is seen from the transit of Sun is trine to Mrityupad (
Arudh of 8th House ). Here Arudh of 8th falls in Leo, transit Sun (on 18-8-1945 ) was in Leo,
aspected by natal Mars and Saturn, forming square aspect with both the planets.
Lunar-day ( Tithi ) of Death: The strongest planet in the 5th House or 5th Lord shows the
Tithi – here Jupiter is in the 5th in Leo shows 5th and 13th lunar day and 5th Lord Sun in the
10th house shows 1st and 9th tithi ( according to Jaimini System ). Here 9th Tithi was just
over at the time of death ruled by the Sun.
Time (Lagna) at Death: The sign of Arudh (AL) Lagna or it’s trine should rise at the time of
death. Though the time of death (Formasa, Taiwan) is said to be at 14-45 Hrs. The rising
sign was Scorpio 20°43´. Scorpio is in 8th to Natal chart with Uranus and Saturn showing
the tragic death. We can take Libra (Trine to AL) and Sagittarius the 8th to AL as variations.
Dasa at Death: In Jaimini System, Navamsa or Shool dasa is considered to ascertain ones’
death. Here starting from Ascendant, the dasa of the 6th House occupied by moon – can kill
the native. This house falls between 45th to 54th of Age. Bose died at the age of 49th running.
According to Vimshottari Dasa, death took place in Jupiter Major, Moon Sub, Venus sub -

Uranus (Gemini drishti) gave bad death.
Also from AK (Aquarius) the 8th is Capricorn (Jaimini) where above mentioned position of
planets and aspects gave the DUR- MARAN. Jeeva- Saham Cancer 17° was transited by
Pluto Cancer 17°52 which was in Trine to 12th Cusp Pisces 17°29´!
Prior to death Sun eclipse on 23°34´ Sagittarius was at Shadashtak distance to 10th house
where 23°32´ Capricorn Rahu was on 09/07/1945 . 64th Navamsa is the 4th house from the
moon in Navamsa. Moon is in Pisces in Navamsa and 4th to it comes Gemini (in the 8th)
where Mars and Pluto gave DUR-MARAN.
Death by Fire / Accident:

If Saturn is in sign of Sun or Mars then Death is certain due to fire. Here Saturn is in the
Scorpio in the 8th aspected by the Mars. The Sign occupied by the Mandi ( here Capricorn in
the 10th at 23°21´ is in opposition to Mrityu -Saham Cancer 10°03´ ) was in Trine to Transit
Mars and Uranus both in Taurus 24° shows death by fire
/accident .
Fixed star Sharaton was in Aries 11°- 46´ ( in the Ascendant

) has nature of Mars conjuncts Saturn, Vivian Robson says,
it causes bodily injuries, unscrupulous defeat, destruction
by fire, war or earth-quake. Here star Sharatan is in the
square aspect to 10th cusp Capricorn 13°-20´, also with the
Sun Capricorn 11°-09´ in the 10th.
Nature and Place of Death:

The nature of death is seen from the 3rd house from Aarudh
818
Lagna.
Gemini is AL, 3rd from Gemini is Leo where A8 (Mrityu Pada) falls. 8th from AL is
Capricorn, the movable sign and 8th from Leo is Cancer ( according to Jaimini System ) the
movable sign with Ketu gave DUR-MARAN at distant place.
Mrityu pada A8 is in Leo shows east direction. Bose died at Formasa (Taiwan).
Doubtful Part of Death:

Death of Bose (as recorded in the History) is doubtful according to some of the Section of
the people. Commissions were formed by the Government. Report of the last commission
was not tabled in the Parliament. The said report is very confidential about the death of
Bose. West Bengal at large is not happy with the Government. At Kolkata, in Indian
Museum, under Bose’s portrait, year of the birth is mentioned but next to it is “Question
Mark “ for perhaps doubtful death !!
Here are some of the classical combinations relating to mystery of death:

HeeHes<Jee%ee yevOetjeefμe efmLeles<eg #eerCes leejevee³ekesÀ μe$egjeμeew ~~

pee.Hee.Dee³egoe&O³ee³e - μueeskeÀ 108
Person dies during journey by enemies if 4th and 10th house are occupied by malefic and
waning Moon is in 6th or 8th. Here this condition applies exactly.
ceeleefj μe$egCee nle: - pewefceveer, DeO³ee³e-3.3.38

If Occupant in the 8th (here Saturn) is in Leo Navamsa, death is caused due to enmity .
This condition applies to this chart.

If Virgo is the sign next to the Navamsa sign occupied by the planet in the 8th in natal chart
native is suppose to have fear from enemies. (here next to Saturn is Virgo in Navamsa ) .
Jupiter in 3rd to AL, premonition of death to native himself or his close companion. here
Jupiter is in 3rd to AL ( Gemini) where Mrityu pada (A8) falls. Cornel Habibur Rehman
was saved and witnessed the tragic event. Yearly chart of death year 1945, has Leo as
ascendant and lord Sun is in 6th, enemy’s camp. Muntha is in Aries in the 10th, long
memorable journey, Munthesh Mars is with 2nd lord (Marak) Mercury and Ketu opposed by
Rahu and Saturn. In conclusion I may say, this chart has no longevity more than proved
satisfactorily as above as middle- span, No Purnaayu combinations are present.

Jaimini Chara
Dasas and Prediction
By
Gary Gomes, USA
T his article will show how to use

the Jaimini Chara Dasas as a
predictive tool.
The Chara dasa system of prediction is a

general use Mahadasa, similar in its
flexibility to the Vimshottari dasa system
that works very well for most predictive
patterns. The next section will provided a
brief recap of the way in which this system
is set up, based on principles taught by
K.N. Rao on his trips to the United States
in the mid-1990's.
Basic principles:
A Brief Overview Of Jaimini Astrology

Gary Gomes is the current President of the Jaimini is predominantly practiced in the
Council of Vedic Astrology. He has been a Andhra Pradesh area of India, but its
practicing astrologer since 1990 & has governing principles are also discussed in
been published in numerous magazines. He detail in the encyclopedic compendium of
teaches Jyotisha through the American astrological techniques, the Brihat Parasara
College of Vedic Astrology, Kepler Hora Sastra. The BPHS has enough
material in it to keep most of us studying
College, and Dirah Academy International.
Jyotisha busy for several life times. The
He has special interest in some of the lesser Jaimini factors are not referred to
explored systems of Vedic astrology, such as specifically as Jaimini indicators.
Jaimini and Chandra Kala Nadi However, when one reads P. S. Sastri's
techniques. He can be contacted for translation of the Jaimini Sutras, or either
readings or lessons at crystalx@verizon.net of Mr. Rao's texts on Jaimini Astrology,
or at www.crystalexpectations.net & one realizes that these principles are, in
http://www.councilvedicastrology.org fact Jaimini principles. There are other
Jaimini texts which have emerged over the
years (including The Jaimini Upadesa
Sutras written by Sanjay Rath, Jaimini
Sutramitrum by Iranganti Rangacharya
and a recent translation in process by Ernst
Wilhelm of the United States).
820
However, Mr. Rao's texts go the furthest in explaining how the Jaimini dasa systems work,
and are still, in my opinion, the clearest exposition of Jaimini principles available in the
West.
The following are the major differences between Jaimini and "standard" Parasara astrology:
1) The use of sign mahadasas (Chara, Sthira and Shoola dasas are the best known, but
there are approximately 44 mahadasas used in Jaimini astrology);
2) The use of padas. Padas are indicators in the signs. The best way to explain a pada is
to illustrate it. Suppose we are looking for the marriage pada in a chart. The seventh
house is the marriage house in a standard chart. Let us assume we have a Libra
ascendant. Aries is the seventh house in this chart. The ruler of the seventh house is
therefore Mars. Then let us assume that the Graha Mars is in the sign Capricorn. This
sign is ten signs away from Aries. We then count ten signs from Capricorn to get the
pada for marriage matters. Thus, the sign Libra is the marriage indicator for this chart.
Issues connected with marriage (and partnerships in general) will reach fruition
during the mahadasa or bhuktis of Libra.
3) The extensive use of karakas. There are karakas in Parasara astrology, but these are
based on certain "natural" karakas of the planets. For example, Venus is the natural
karaka for marriage and Mars is the karaka for brothers. However, in Jaimini
astrology, the Karakas can be any of the planets. (I choose to follow Mr. Rao in
choosing to exclude the North and South Lunar Node -- Rahu and Ketu -- as Jaimini
karakas for most purposes. There are seven karakas which are judged in terms of the
planet which is highest in degree to that which is lowest in degree, regardless of sign
placement. The karakas are, in descending order, the atma karaka (the indicator of
self), the amatya karaka (the indicator of career); the bhatri karaka (the indicator of
siblings and father); the matri karaka (the indicator of mother and education); the
pitri (Or putri) karaka (the indicator of children, intelligence and creativity); the gnati
karaka (the indicator of strife, disease, and spiritual sadhana); and the stri or dara
karaka, the indicator of marriage (and partnerships in general). Most authors, Parasara
included, mention 7 and 8 karakas. In the Jaimini Upadesa Sutras, both 7 and 8
karakas are mentioned, indicating to me that both must have some utility for
interpretation. NOTE: The dasas of Rasis which include either the Atma Karaka or
Gnati Karaka are considered to have more difficulties than normal, and the dasas of
rasis that contain the amatya karaka, matri karaka, putri karaka, and dara karaka are
generally favorable. The bhatri karaka and combinations of the two groups tend to be
neutral in auspiciousness. These karakas are of extreme importance in judging a chart,
especially in terms of career potential and, especially, for judging spiritual potential, as
indicated in both the Brihat Parasara Hora Sastra and the Jaimini Sutram. Also,
although this stance is not universally endorsed, it has also been my experience that
the Jaimini karakas work especially well when we analyze the planetary mahadasas
and the maturity of planets.
The calculation of the Chara dasas is done as follows:
Sequence of Mahadasas
The dasas start from whichever sign is in the lagna. So, for a Libra ascendant, Libra
would be the first mahadasa. For a Virgo ascendant, the first mahadasa would be Virgo, for
Aries ascendant the first mahadasa would be Aries. There are no exceptions to this.
821
The next thing to look at is how to ascertain the direction of the mahadasas. The pattern of
the dasa sequences is as follows:
Aries Lagna -- Sequence of mahadasas = Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra,
Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces.
Taurus Lagna -- Sequence = Taurus, Aries, Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn, Sagittarius, Scorpio,
Libra, Virgo, Leo, Cancer, Gemini
For Gemini Lagna -- Sequence = Gemini, Taurus, Aries, Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn,
Sagittarius, Scorpio, Libra, Virgo, Leo, Cancer
For Cancer Lagna -- Sequence = Cancer, Gemini, Taurus, Aries, Pisces, Aquarius,
Capricorn, Sagittarius, Scorpio, Libra, Virgo, Leo
For Leo Lagna -- Sequence = Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius,
Pisces, Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer
For Virgo Lagna -- Sequence = Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius,
Pisces, Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo
For Libra Lagna -- Sequence = Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces, Aries,
Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo
For Scorpio Lagna -- Sequence = Scorpio, Libra, Virgo, Leo, Cancer, Gemini, Taurus, Aries,
Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn, Sagittarius
For Sagittarius Lagna -- Sequence = Sagittarius, Scorpio, Libra, Virgo, Leo, Cancer, Gemini,
Taurus, Aries, Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn
For Capricorn Lagna -- Sequence = Capricorn, Sagittarius, Scorpio, Libra, Virgo, Leo,
Cancer, Gemini, Taurus, Aries, Pisces, Aquarius
For Aquarius Lagna -- Sequence = Aquarius, Pisces, Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo,
Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn
For Pisces Lagna -- Sequence = Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn, Sagittarius, Scorpio, Libra,
Virgo, Leo, Cancer, Gemini, Taurus, Aries, Pisces
To determine the length of the maha dasas indicated above, look at the placement of the
ruler of the signs, and count from the sign in question either forwards or backwards, as cited
below. If a planet is in its own sign, it is assigned twelve years.
Aries -- Count Forward to Mars' location, then subtract 1

Taurus -- Forward to Venus' location, then subtract 1
Gemini -- Count forward to Mercury's location, then subtract 1
Cancer -- Count backward to the Moon's location, then subtract 1
Leo -- Count backward to the Sun's location, then subtract 1
Virgo -- Count backward to Mercury's position, then subtract 1
Libra -- Count forward to Venus' location, then subtract 1
822
Scorpio -- Count forward to Mars' (or Ketu's) position, then subtract 1*
Sagittarius -- Count forward to Jupiter's position, then subtract 1
Capricorn -- Count backward to Saturn's position, then subtract 1
Aquarius -- Count backward to Saturn's (or Rahu's) position, then subtract 1*
Pisces -- Count backward to Jupiter's position, then subtract 1
*If there are more planets in the sign in which Mars or Saturn sits, then the counting is done
to this sign; if there are more planets in the sign in which Ketu or Rahu sits, the counting is
done to that sign.
If Mars is in Scorpio, and Ketu is not, then, Ketu is selected. If Ketu is in Scorpio and Mars
is not, then Mars is picked. If both are alone in signs, then determine which among Ketu or
Mars is at higher degree. The planet at higher degree is the winner.
If both are at the same degree, then count to the planet at higher minute. If both are at
higher minute, count to the sign with higher second. This same way of determining the
winning planet, for terms of counting the number of years to be assigned to the sign in
question, is to be used for Saturn and Rahu in the case of Aquarius.
The number which results from the counting (including the sign from which the counting
starts) is then to subtract 1 from the total. This will give the mahadasa in years.
The following examples will illustrate some of these principles.
Suppose an individual has a Taurus rising sign, with Venus in the fourth house. This makes
his first mahadasa Taurus, and it will last for three years (4-1). He has Mars in the twelfth
house in Aries; his next mahadasa (Aries) will last for twelve (12) years. Let us assume he
has the Planet Jupiter in the third house in Cancer; the next mahadasa (Pisces) will
(counting backwards) last for 8 (9-1) years.
Let us now consider the Aquarius mahadasa; this uses the principle that the planet with the
higher number of companion planets will be chosen to be the sign to which counting will be
done. In our hypothetical example chart, the Rahu is in the same sign (Cancer) with the
Sun, Mercury and Jupiter. Saturn is in the same sign with the Moon (in Taurus).
The choice of Rahu as the sign to which one would count to get the mahadasa length is
obvious according to the principle already stated. The Aquarius mahadasa (which we count
backwards to get), gives us an Aquarius mahadasa of seven (8-1) years.
Special Yogas
Jaimini astrology uses a variety of special yogas or combinations which do not exist in other
types of Jyotish. The two most unusual (but, in their own way, very logical) are the special
combinations which have to do with Saturn and Venus. Venus, in combination with, aspected
by or aspecting the Moon, produces a special auspicious combination in Jaimini which manifests during
the mahadasa of one of the signs in which the planet sits. (Remember the special aspects which are
unique to Jaimini)
Likewise, there is a special combination in Jaimini astrology which makes use of Saturn. In
823
standard Parasara astrology, the planet Saturn is often interpreted as a bringer of hardship,
but in the tenth house or when casting an aspect on the Moon, Saturn produces a
phenomenal rise to power or intense charisma, respectively.
Likewise, there is a really positive influence when Saturn aspects the Karakamsa sign in the
Rasi (natal birth chart). The Karakamsa sign is the sign in which the Atmakaraka planet sits
in the Navamsa chart, transferred to the natal chart.
Finally, Upagrahas are a very valuable predictive tool that can be used for enhancing
interpretation of Jaimini Chara Dasas.
Let's look at a chart:
William Rehnquist, former Chief Justice of the Supreme Court:
October 1, 1924, 11:32 AM, Milwaukee, Wisconsin
Rehnquist has had several major achievements in his life, starting in 1952 when he was Class
Valedictorian of his graduating class at Stanford Law School.
He was a law clerk for Justice Robert Jackson from 1952-1953.
He was in private practice in Arizona from 1953-1969, serving as legal advisor for Barry
Goldwater's presidential campaign in 1964.
He served as Assistant Attorney General of the United States from 1969-1971 under
President Richard Nixon.
On December 10, 1971, he was confirmed as an Associate Justice on the United States
Supreme Court and in 1986 he became Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.
824
In 1999, he presided over the impeachment trial of then President William Jefferson Clinton.
Let's look at his Chara dasas for these events:
October 1, 1949- October 2, 1958, he was in a Cancer mahadasa.1
October 2, 1958 -October 1, 1960, he was in a Gemini mahadasa.
October 1, 1960 – October 2, 1963, he was in a Taurus mahadasa
October 1, 1963 – October 2, 1973, he was in an Aries mahadasa
October 2, 1973 – October 2, 1977, he was in a Pisces mahadasa
October 2, 1977 – October 2, 1982, he was in an Aquarius mahadasa
October 2, 1982 – October 2, 1985, he was in Capricorn mahadasa
October 2, 1985-October 1, 1996, he was in a Sagittarius mahadasa
October 1, 1996 -October 2, 1999, he was in a Scorpio mahadasa
October 1, 1999 – October 2, 2009, he was in a Libra mahadasa
Cancer mahadasa is the natural ninth house mahadasa. Cancer is aspected by Jupiter, his
Bhatri (indicator of teacher) planet and Mars (his Gnati or hard work planet); Rahu in the
ninth house alone gives great status in life, and its lord Moon (his career indicator planet
aspected by Saturn, his Putri Karaka or luck indicator planet). So the ruler of the sign will
still have some say in Jaimini astrology and you will see that the karakas work together to
support the ruler of the sign. This period, although a period of effort (gnati karaka) and
ambition (Bhatri Karaka) would have brought honor (Putri and Amatya Karakas) during its
dasa. So, valedictorian and clerking for a Supreme Court justice is a very impressive career
start. Cancer is also his 3rd, 5th and 11th arudha, indicating very good luck
Although he was active during his Gemini and Taurus dasas, his national prominence
started when he was legal advisor to Goldwater, which started in 1963-1964, concurrent with
his Aries dasa commencement. Since Aries is the natural sixth house indicator in this chart
(the house of competition/politics), this house is blessed; also, similar to Mr. Rehnquist's
Cancer dasa, the ruler of Pisces is Bhatri Karaka, which helps ambition. The Sun is the
status provider in the chart, in his eleventh house giving a raise in status. His appointment
as Assistant Attorney General came during an Aries-Scorpio dasa, a time of great drive and
skill in his chart (Venus, Mercury and Jupiter, several skills enhancing and yoga producing
planets aspect Aries in this chart. Scorpio is the indicator of partnerships in this chart, and
Jupiter being in this sign indicates luck on his part in partnerships.

His appointment to the U.S. Supreme Court occurs in her Aries-Aquarius dasa. Similar to
his Cancer dasa, Aquarius disposits to his twelfth house (public service) Jaimini Raj Yoga of
Saturn and Moon, and to Rahu in the ninth house. Aquarius contains his competitive planet,
aspected by Libra, his eight, tenth and second house dasa. Also, Aquarius is his fourth house
indicator of status, giving rise in status in life, perhaps unexpectedly (eighth house Arudha).
The ascension to the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court was nominated June 17, 1986 by
President Reagan, during a Sagittarius-Libra dasa—again, his Saturn-Moon conjunction
produced a Raj Yoga and he took the position during a Sagittarius-Virgo dasa, with his Sun
as leadership indicator in the chart showing a rise in aspiration (11th house).
The 1998 Libra dasa commenced with his inclusion in the second impeachment trial in U.S.
History, a peak event for any Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.
Just from this simple exposition of events in the late William Rehnquist's life we can see the
dasas in the chara dasas functioning smoothly and indicating significant events in the
former Chief Justice's life. I will follow up with subsequent articles supplementing this
analysis and integrating the upagrahas.

statement. They went about it with
mathematical precision. They teach us “Action is the insignia of life.” The law of life
proclaims that none can remain even for a moment without performing activity. Everyone is
made to act helplessly according to one’s own inner temperament. Natural law indicates that
if one chooses to remain idle one is petrified and perishes.
The basic nature of man is the cumulative effect of all his past thoughts, desires and actions. Past
activities are the cause. Present nature or constitution is the effect. This is indicated by Nabhas
Yogas.
Vedic astrology divides the Karma (action) in three categories namely:
(i) Sanchit - Total accumulated Karma or remaining unexhausted Karma Phala

(Fruits of action) from all previous births. These are identified with the help of
various Yogas formed in the nativity.
(ii) Prarabdha - Bhagya (Fate and Destiny) - This is indicated by various Dasas
(directions) operating at a given time.
(iii) Kriyaman - Actions that manifest into fruits in a given period on a specific time of
the life of individual. These are ascertained with the help of Transit of planets.
The word ‘Yoga’ is derived from its root Yuj, which means to join, to unite. In
astrology, Yogas means a special planetary combination, which reveals inherent inclinations,
possibilities of political power and influence, wealth, asceticism, misery, debts, dishonesty,
corruption etc. If special Yogas for aristas or misfortune are present in a horoscope, the
person will face miseries in life, even though according to ordinary astrological rules, such a
horoscope is a promising one. Thus extensive knowledge of Yoga is very necessary for
proper assessment of horoscope’s indications.
There are innumerable Yogas expounded in Jataka Granthas. Dr. Sukhadev
Chaturvedi, head of the astrology department of Shri Lal Bahadur Sanskrit Vidyapeeth,
New Delhi, made a compilation of 832 main Yogas. Even, these do not include such Yogas
which are based on some specific principles like :(1) Yogas of two, three planets and so on,
(2) Yogas in Vargas, (Divisional Charts), (3) Raj Yogas, (4) Sanyas Yogas, (5) Female Jataka
Yogas, (6) Yogas for finance and poverty, (7) Yogas for service and business, (8) Yogas
based on Char Karakas, (9) Yogas based on Pada Lagans and (10) Graha Arudhas.
Prashna Marga gives the following definition on the formation of astrological Yogas of
various categories in Chapter 9:

“There are seven ways for formation of various Yogas: (I) Those formed by position,
(ii) by houses, (iii) by planets, (iv) formed with the help of all the three - position, houses
and planets, (v) by position and houses only, (vi) by position and planets, (vii) and those
formed by houses and planets. The position means the placement in 12 Rasis (signs)- Aries
etc. (The signs are also identified as Exaltation, Mool -Trikona etc. for planets). The houses
mean the 12 houses commencing from the Ascendant (Lagna). The planets mean the nine
planets Sun etc. The combination of these constituents causes the formation of various
Yogas of different categories.
The strongest constituent in forming a particular Yoga is called the “Yogakarta” and it
is this which gives the results of Yoga (in its directional period-dasa and during transit).
‘Brihat Parasara Hora Shastra’ is an ancient and extremely comprehensive treatise on
Vedic Astrology. In fact, this book lays down the basic fundamentals of Indian Astrology.
Maharishi Parasara narrated this Shastra to his disciple Maitraye around 1800 B.C.
(According to Vishnu Purana, V.E. point was in first quarter of Krittika Nakshatra in that
Era).
After describing the characteristics and effects of (i) planets, (ii) signs-rasis, and (iii)
houses or bhavas (in fact Sixteen Division Charts are basically bhava charts of different
categories), Maharishi Parasara expresses the importance of Yogas in following words as a
concluding remark in Chapter 36 of ‘BPHS’:”

“Up till now, I have explained the methods to judge the auspicious and inauspicious
results of planets based on the twine principles: number one, based on the ascendant
(Lagna), the rising sign at the time of birth; and number two, based on the lordship of the
houses. However, there are different categories of Yogas like Nabhasa Yoga etc., which are
to be considered in depth before arriving at a final judgment and prediction for a nativity.”
Parasara has, therefore, laid extra emphasis on the consideration of Yogas, out which
the Nabhasa Yogas attain an apex position.
NABHAS YOGA
There are 32 main Nabhasa Yogas, which are classified in four categories.
The word “Nabhasa” means the sky. As such, the Yogas are formed in the sky with the
help of all the three constituents, namely all the seven planets (excluding Rahu and Ketu),
all the 12 signs and the 12 houses (including all shodhas vargas - 16 divisional charts), are
called the Nabhasa Yogas. In these Yogas, all seven planets participate simultaneously.
Each nativity will have at least one yoga out of 32 main Nabhasa Yogas.
The main question which arises is that why are only seven planets are considered and
Rahu and Ketu are excluded? There are fundamental reasons for excluding these two

834
Chhaya Grahas (nodes of the moon). This aspect needs to be examined in some detail as it
contains the key to understand the purpose and utility of the Nabhasa Yogas.
The Jeeva or the individual soul or self is in reality Pursha, who operates in this world
through the causal, subtle and gross (physical) body. The causal body is the combination of
soul and the mind (manah) - the sun and the Moon. This represents the creative principle in
the Universe .The causal body is constituted of mere desires (Vasanas). Therefore this body
is the seed of one's personality in the unmanifested form. The causal body manifests and
functions itself as the subtle (astral) body (the linga sareer), which operates with the help of
five senses of perception represented by Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn. In other
words, the subtle body is composed of feelings, emotions and thoughts generated on account
of accumulated Vasanas from past births. Thus, the linga sareera represents the personality
of an individual. This personality functions through the Gross body.
Nabhasa Yogas indicate basic traits and personality represented by the subtle body. The
subtle body is like a sapling. It can be made to grow any way one likes. Similarly, the
indications given by Nabhasa Yogas can be changed, modified or molded into any direction
based on the vibration generated by the placement of Rahu and Ketu along with other Yogas
in the nativity operating from time to time.
The causal and subtle body operates through the Gross body. The gross body is like
fully grown tree, which cannot be modified. As much, you can change or modify your
feeling, emotions and thoughts manifesting in the Gross body, if you can control at the level
of the subtle body, which supports the Gross body. Thus, Nabhasa Yogas contain and
provide basic information that ultimately helps the individual to operate and use his own
free will for the improvement of his lot.
Parasara narrated 32 Nabhasa Yogas. These are divided in four categories; there (3) are
called Ashraya Yoga, two (2) Dala Yogas, twenty (20) Akriti Yoga and 7 (seven) Sankhya
Yogas. These 32 Nabhasa Yogas again have 1800 different varieties (sub-divisions).
These numbers-32 and 1800 are of mystic nature as they represent subtle body (and not
the gross body). The soul is immortal and never changes, it is the manah- mind that is
responsible for the cycle of Birth and death, creation and destruction.
The Moon returns to the same point in the Zodiac in about 18.60 years, (which is the
sidereal the period of Rahu and Ketu). If 32 is divided by number 1800, the remainder will
always be 14. The number 14 represents 14 bhuvans (mansions) in which soul reappears as
jeeva to exhaust his accumulated karma. Therefore, these numbers indicate the universal and
immortal cycle of Karma.
Even, in the days of Varaha-Mihira and Kalyan Varma, the Nabhasa Yoga are given
due importance. But, it is little surprising that Saravali says;
;ouk|SfoZLrjr% dfFkrk ;ksxkLrq ukHklk ukEukA
v"Vkn'k 'krxqf.krkLrs"kka }kf=ka'kfng o{;sAA22@2AA
"Yavan and other Acharyas indicated 1800 Nabhasa Yoga. I, Kalyan Varma indicate
their 32 main categories."
Bhattotpala in his famous commentary on ‘Brihat Jataka’, mentions that he could not
get the opportunity to study such monumental work- "Brihat Parasara Hora Shastra".
There was a state of neglect of Nabhasa Yogas in last 1500 years. We have even
forgotten that Parasara was actually the original and primary source of information on
Nabhasa Yogas.
835
This article is mainly based on following classics:
1. "Brihat Parasara Hora Shastra, translated by Girish Chandra Sharma-Chapter 37.
(Published by Sagar Publication New Delhi)
2. "Brihat Jataka by Varaha-Mihira, Chapter12
3. "Saravali by Kalyan Varma-Chapter 21
4. "Horaratnam" by Balbhadra, Chapter 6 (Published in Hindi by Motilal Banarasi
Das, Delhi)
5. "Hora Sara" by Prithuyasas-Chapter 19
The Sanskrit Slokas are not included is this article. These can be referred from original
texts.
The following points are very important and should always be kept in mind while
considering Nabhasa Yogas:
1. All the seven planets-Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn take
part in these Yogas. Any Yoga, which considers less than seven planets or also
includes Rahu and Ketu, will not generally be considered in the category of
Nabhasa Yoga. This principle is adopted at many places in Hora Shastra e.g. (1)
Determination of the longevity (Ayurdaya) of planets by the methods of Pindayu,
Nasargayu and Ansayu (2) Astaka Varga System.
2. Nabhasa Yogas basically recognize three groups of signs moveable, Fixed and
dual. The signs of a particular group always fall in angular Houses from each
other. The emphasis is not placed on the signs of exaltation, mooltrikona etc. of the
planets. This is on account of the fact that Nabhasa Yogas indicate basic traits of
personality i.e. the feelings, emotions and thoughts generated in the subtle body
(linga Sareera) on account of one’s sanchit karmas. The other Yoga tries to amend
or mould these traits.
3. Similarly Parasara gives importance to angular houses and the Graha Mallika
Yogas. All indications of the subtle body manifest in the Gross body, through the
actions of individuals. This makes the angular houses most important.
Furthermore, the angular houses are greatly influenced by the planets, which are
placed in their adjacent houses. This is the principal that makes the Graha Mallika
Yogas very important and effective.
(4) The Sun and the Moon operate on the level of creative Principle. They cannot be
branded either Malefic or Benefic while considering Nabhasa Yogas. The Sun will
act as Malefic or Benefic if it is conjoined with Malefics or Benefics respectively.
The Sun, when placed alone in a house, will act as krura (a mild malefic) as
Atman-the Soul is neither enemy nor friend of the Jeeva. The Moon is the cosmic
and pure Mother and, as such, will act as benefic; the principle of waxing or
waning Moon does not apply while considering Nabhasa Yogas.
(5) Jupiter, Mercury and Venus will act as benefic, and Mars and Saturn will act as
malefic.
(6) Lordships of planets, their combustion, interplanetary war etc are also not
considered in Nabhasa Yogas.
(7) The above observations may be explained in another manner. The natural
signification of planets, signs and also houses do not change but the same manifest
with the help of other Yoga’s or placement of planets in certain houses or signs.
836
Similarly, Nabhasa Yogas indicate the natural traits of the personality of an
individual and these never change. These traits manifest in the life of an individual
with the help or superimposition of other Yogas. This is an important point, which
should not be lost sight of.

Asraya Yoga
1. Rajju Yoga: If all the planets are situated in moveable signs (1, 4, 7 and 10), they cause
Rajju Yoga.
Effects: The native born in this Yoga will be found of wandering, will be charming,
remain in good health, fortunate in distance places (away from home) and will be of a cruel
and wicked disposition (This means- hard task master).
Parasara has given six natural characteristics or traits of the native when born with
Rajju yoga. These significations will act as catalyzing agents, whenever any other Yoga will
operate. In this manner, the overriding effects of Nabhasa Yogas may be considered.
2. Musala Yoga: If all the planets are situated in fixed signs (2, 5, 8 and 11), they cause
Musala Yoga.
Effects: The native born in this Yoga are endowed with honor, wisdom, knowledge and
wealth, will be dear to the king (i.e. persons of authority), will be famous, will have money,
sons and be of a firm disposition.
Parasara indicated 8 (eight) outstanding characteristics for a native born in this Yoga.
All these good qualities are basically on account of firm disposition. This is based on the
838
trait of the fixed signs, as against the moveable signs, which makes the native restless and of
a wondering nature.
3. Nala Yoga: If all the planets are situated in dual signs (3, 6, 9, and 12), they cause Nala
Yoga.
Effects: The native of Nala Yoga will have some kind of deformity in body parts (a
limb may be less or superfluous), will be very skillful in accumulating money, be helpful to
relatives and friends and be of a charming disposition.
The natives of Nala Yoga have a lot of flexibility, attraction and delicacy; whereas
moveable and fixed signs indicate clear-cut traits in disposition. The natives of this yoga are
not blessed with the sound body. Their fondness for amusements and multiplicity in their
behavior create considerable conflict in their minds.
Notes:
(1) There are divergent views on the meaning of the word ‘Ashraya’ and also on the
formation of Ashraya Yoga. As a matter of fact, these three Ashraya Yogas are the
backbone of most of the Nabhasa Yogas.
(2) The word “Ashraya” means to depend on something .The first view therefore is
that these yogas are dependent on the nature of signs i.e. moveable, fixed and dual
and are thus called Ashraya Yoga. The other view is that other yogas depend on
Ashraya yogas. Both views have their own merits. The nature of the sign is bound
to affect the characteristics of a planet which is placed in it.
(3) The signs of the same nature always occupy houses in an angle from each other.
Most of the Nabhasa Yogas are formed on account of the placement of planets in
angular houses e.g. Gada, Shakata, Vihaga, Vajra, Yava, and Kamal. All these
Yogas will take the basic traits from one of the three Ashraya Yogas. Let us take
the example of Kamal Yoga. This Yoga is formed when all the planets are in
kendras to the Ascendant. Naturally, the results are bound to vary depending upon
whether angular signs are moveable, fixed or dual. Accordingly the effect of Kamal
Yoga will dependent on the Ashraya Yogas.Same comments are applicable to other
yogas, in which all seven planets are placed in angular houses to each other.
(4) These Yogas will be indicative of the most powerful results when formed in the angular
houses from the Ascendant. Parasara teaches five Ascendants namely - Ascendant (rising
sign), Moon, Sun, Paaka Lagna (the house in which Lagna lord is placed) and Pad Lagna.
When an Ashraya Yoga is formed with the Ascendant as Kendra, all the other four
ascending signs will also fall in angular houses. Naturally, such an yoga is bound to
generate very powerful effects. These comments would also be applicable to Gada, Shakata,
Vihaga, Vajra, Yava and Kamal Yogas in which all the planets are placed in angular
houses from rising sign.
(5) Pure Ashraya Yoga will be formed if all the seven planets occupy three angular
houses from each other. If all the planets occupy any one sign, Gola (Sankhya)
Yoga will be formed. If all the planets are placed in two angular signs, either of the
Yogas - Gada, Shakata or Vihaga will be formed. If all the planets are placed in all
the four Kendra houses, Vajra, Yava or Kamal Yogas are formed.
(6) It is important to note that whenever any Nabhasa Yoga is formed involving
angular houses (signs) from each other, the results of such Yogas will certainly be
affected by one of the three Ashraya Yogas depending upon the signs (moveable,
839
dual, or fixed).
(7) Ashraya Yogas can be formed when all the seven planets are placed in Kendra
(angular), Panaphara (Succedent) or Apoklima (Cadent) houses. When the planets
are placed in Panaphara or Apoklima houses, the results will be mild and may be
felt in the later part of the life.
(8) The Sun, Mercury and Venus will always be together in one sign whenever Ashraya yogas
are formed. This is true for all the Nabhasa Yogas when formed by placement of planets in
angular or trinal houses from each after. In such cases, the Sun will act as benefic.
Dala Yoga
When only benefics or malefics occupy angular houses, then two kinds of Dala Yogas are
formed. In Nabhasa Yogas, when the Sun is placed with benefic planets, it acts as a benefic.
The Sun placed with malefics or not conjoined with any planet will act as mild malefic in
Nabhasa Yogas. The Moon will always be considered as a benefic. As such Saturn, Mars and
Sun (when not with benefics) are considered malefics. Moon, Mercury, Venus and Jupiter
and also Sun (When with Benefics) will act as benefics. The necessary explanations are
already given in this article
Dala Yoga basically means that benefic and malefic planets are segregated from each other.
The effect of these Yogas will be most effective when formed in Kendras from the Lagna.
(i) Maala Yoga: If all the benefics occupy three angular houses, and the malefic are placed
in houses other than the Kendras, Maala Yoga is formed.
Effects: Maala Yoga will make the native always happy, endowed with conveyance, robes,
food and other articles to enjoy life; such natives will prove to be good husbands and
will be endowed with the company of females of good character.
Parasara has brought out two points in this Yoga:
(a) Any reference house will be strengthened and endowed with good qualities if the
remaining three angular houses are occupied by benefices, whether it be the
ascendant, Moon, Sun, Paaka Lagna, Lagna Pada or any other reference point or
house.
(b) Benefics in angular houses generate a righteous and splendorous life, free from
passion and greed.
Some authorities believe that the Moon is not included among the benefic planets in
this Yoga. This is an erroneous view. However, the Moon may also be considered as an
ascendant for this Yoga. Venus and Mercury will always be together in this Yoga. If the
Moon and Jupiter occupy two angular houses, the auspiciousness of the Yoga can be judged
by the readers themselves. This Yoga will be operative if the Moon is also in an angular
house with benefics, otherwise the Maala Yoga may not be fully effective. The Maala Yoga
will be even more effective if a benefic planet owns the sign rising in the ascendant.
(ii) Bhujang (Sarpa) Yoga: If all the malefics occupy three angular houses and the benefics
are placed in houses other than the angular ones, Bhujang (Sarpa) Yoga is formed.
Effects: The native born in Sarpa Yoga will be a crook, cruel, endowed with self-inflicted
poverty, always surrounded with miseries of all kinds, and always looking to enjoy others'
food and drink.
Such Yogas are rarely formed. There are only two malefics Saturn and Mars. When
Saturn and Mars are in an angular position and the third angle is joined by Sun (not
840
conjunct with Mercury or Venus), only then this yoga is formed.
(This Yoga is of a common occurrence in horoscopes and yields to adverse results if
Rahu and Ketu are placed in 4th and 10th houses, though it may not fall in the category of
Nabhas yoga ).
The Sarpa yoga generates extreme passion and greed. The other features are already
discussed under Maala Yoga.
Comparisons Between Ashraya And Dala Yogas
As explained above Ashraya Yogas are formed and operate in their purest form if all
the seven planets occupy three angular houses. If all planets are in one, two or four angular
houses, then other kinds of Akriti Yogas become more effective.
In the two Dala Yogas, the benefics or malefics should occupy three angular houses.
This means that Dala Yogas are an extension of Ashraya Yogas. In Maala Yoga, if benefics
occupy moveable, fixed or dual signs, three different kinds of Yogas are formed. The best
results will be seen when all the benefic planets are place in fixed signs in angular houses.
Similarly, Bhujang Yoga can be divided into three different categories.
As such, Dala Yogas are a different version of Ashraya Yogas.
Akriti Yogas
Parasara discussed 20 main Akriti Yogas in BPHS. The names of the Yogas are given
according to the figure that is formed due to the placement of planets in the nativity.
1. Gada Yoga: This Yoga is formed when all the seven planets occupy two successive
angles.
Gyan Mukta says:
yXukEcqSjEcquxLFkrSokZ lIrkEcjSjEcjyXulaLFkS%A
,oa prq/kZ dfFkrks xnkjO;% 'kqHkk'kqHkS% [kspjdSLrq loSZ%AA
According to Muktavali, four kinds of Gada Yogas are formed when all the seven
planets occupy successive angular houses. This means that all the planets should occupy the
1st and 4th houses, 4th and 7th houses, 7th and 10th houses or 10th and 1st house from Lagna.
However, if all the planets occupy other successive angular houses, like the 2nd and 5th
houses, 3rd and 6th houses and so on, then Gada Yoga also will be operative but the effects
will be different.
Effects: The natives of Gada Yoga will put in concerted efforts to earn wealth, will
perform sacrificial rites, will be skilful and efficient in the knowledge of Shastras and will be
endowed with wealth, gold and precious stones.
Such results are powerful if all planets are placed in houses in angles from the
ascendant. I have already explained the reasons in my notes on Ashraya Yogas that the
planets generate very powerful Yogas if placed in Kendra houses. Gada yoga natives earn
wealth by fair means and by using their skill and putting in persistent hard work. The
results will be modified according to whether the planets are placed in moveable, fixed or
dual signs. This means that the results of Ashraya Yogas are to be correlated with the above
effects. The placement of planets in auspicious or powerful houses will not over-ride the
signification of the signs. Yogas give effects with the help of the planets, houses and signs,
841
all put together.
Gada Yoga has another interesting feature. Whenever all planets are placed in the
adjacent angular houses from the ascendant, these planets will influence and aspect the
remaining to angular houses. For an example, if planets occupies fourth house, the native
will try to strengthen his physical existence and search for situation and people who can
offer material and moral security out of his role in the outside world (which symbolizes the
10th house). On the other hand, if planets are occupying the 10th house, the native will not
only draw away from the concern of the family and home, but he will find solace and
fulfillment in enhancing social status, career, profession and may seek honor from people of
authority.
Except in the case of Gada Yoga, when all the seven plants occupy two houses (signs), Parasara
and other Jataka Granthas have mostly indicated mixed or bad results. Such yogas are the four Akriti
Yogas namely Shakata, Vihaga, Sringataka and Hala and one sankhya-yoga namely Yupa.
2. Shakata Yoga: This Yoga is formed when all the seven planets occupy the ascendant
and the seventh houses jointly.
Effects: Shakata means some kind of vehicle. The persons born in Shakata Yoga will be
afflicted by diseases, will have ugly or diseased nails, will be foolish, will earn living by
pulling (or driving) vehicles/carts, will be poor (able to meet both ends with difficulty),
devoid of friends and relatives (as he will be always on move). Varaha Mihira says such a
person will have a mean wife. Lagna Chandrika adds that he will be clever in money matters, and
in spite of other problems, he will have a happy disposition and will have stable sources of finance.
Shakata Yoga involves the Ascendant and the seventh house, which represent the self
and partners. These houses are complementary to each other. Malefic influence indicates a
mean wife and a profession involving travel. Parasara says that the seventh house represents
wife, journey and even absence from home without any prior information. This Yoga yields
better results if malefic planets own the ascendant and benefics are placed therein. In such
an event, Lagna Pada will fall in the tenth house and the planets in the Ascendant will
provide Subha Argala on it.
3. Vihaga Yoga: This Yoga is formed when all the seven planets occupy the 4th and 10th
houses from the Ascendant.
Effects: Vihaga means bird, which always flies from one place to another. The persons
born in Vihaga Yoga will be fond of roaming, earn with the help of subordinate jobs, act as a
messenger (or tale bearer), act as a pimp i.e. sustain himself on professions which depend on
prostitution or trading in women, be shameless and always ready to pick quarrels. Lagna
Chandrika says that the native enjoys and feels happy in roaming around, in picking
quarrels and acting as a pimp for prostitutes.
The fourth house represents Mana - mind and as such controls the inclinations and
character of the individual. On the other hand the 10th house represents profession (some
authorities say livelihood of an unstable nature). When all the planets are in the 4th and 10th
houses, all the important Lagnas (except the Ascendant) will also fall in this axis i.e. Moon,
Sun, Paaka Lagna and Pada Lagna. This Yoga generates defects in character because malefics
occupy the 4th/10th axis. In the present day context, this Yoga generates an inclination for
professions like salesmanship, marketing jobs, modeling, and prostitution, indulgence in sex

842
activities etc. The above results shall accrue if malefics and benefics are mixed in two
houses. If malefics will be placed in 4th house and benefics are in 10th house, the person will
earn money by fair means but indulge in notorious activities. However in the reverse case,
the person may be a dacoit, swindler etc, but will be of a charitable disposition. Ashraya
Yogas will modify the effect according to the nature of the signs placed in angular houses.
If all the planets are placed in opposite houses, say 2nd and 8th, 3rd and 9th, 5th and 11th,
or 6th and 12th, the results will be worse than in Shakata and Vihaga Yogas.
It may be pointed out that in these Yogas, the Sun, Venus and Mercury will always
occupy one house, and the placement of the Moon, Jupiter, Mars and Saturn will generate
different kinds of effects. As in Kendra houses, the Moon and Jupiter will form a Gajakesri
Yoga, a stable source of income is foreseen in both the Yogas, inspite of poverty and other
defects. Such persons will not cheat others unless influenced by Rahu/Ketu or by other
adverse Yogas.
Parasara has indicated four different kinds of Yogas, when all the seven planets occupy all the
four angular houses. These Yogas are Vajra, Yava, Kamal and Vaapi. Horasara indicates three
Yogas namely Mangala, Madhya and Kleeba. Kamal and Mangala Yogas are the same. Yavana
Jataka makes two additional divisions of Vaapi Yoga, namely Madhya Yoga (when all planets are in
Panphara houses) and Kleeba Yoga (when all planets are in Apoklima houses).
4. Vajara Yoga: If all the benefics occupy the Ascendant and 7th house and malefics
occupy the 4th and 10th houses, Vajra Yoga is formed.
5. Yava Yoga: If all the malefics occupy the ascendant and 7th house and benefics
occupy the 4th and 10th houses, Yava Yoga is formed.
These are very important Yogas and have far-reaching implications. Varaha Mihira in
Chapter 12, Sloka 6 says:
iwoZ'kkL=kuqlkjs.k ek tzkn% Ñrk%A
prqFkZHkous lw;kZTKflrks Hkor% dFke~AA
“I have described the Vajra and other Yogas adopting the view of former writers. How
can Mercury and Venus occupy the 4th sign from the Sun?”
I wish to make following observations on these Yogas:
(1) The objection of Varaha Mihira is valid. Some authorities tried to prove the validity of
the Yoga in a roundabout manner. Such explanations do not have much worth when
Varaha Mihira raises the finger of doubt based on some specific principle. It appears
that Varaha Mihira objects on two specific grounds; number one, Mercury and Venus
cannot fall in angular houses from Sun and number two, that the Sun is a malefic and
falls in same category as Saturn and Mars. The first objection is based on an
astronomical reality which cannot be wished away by giving any argument.
(2) With regard to the validity of second objection, the following observations are to be
examined. Parasara originally narrated these Yogas around 1800 B.C. Satyacharya and
other authorities had adopted them. Sage Parasara was surely aware about such
objections. I have already given reasons in the Introduction of this article, that the Sun
will act as a Kurura (not malefic) when placed alone or with malefics. The Sun will act
843
as benefic when placed with benefics. Mars and Saturn will always act as Malefics .The
Moon, Mercury, Venus and Jupiter will always act as benefics. Under the
circumstances, Vajra and Yava Yogas are fully operable and their formation is not
affected by the presence of the Sun with benefics i.e. with Venus and Mercury. Jaimini
Updesh Sutras also accepts the Sun as a benefic and considers it a malefic only in
special circumstances.
(3) There are some other interesting and special features In Vajra and Yava Yogas. Malefics and
benefics are segregated in these Yogas like in the two Dala Yogas. In Vajra Yoga, benefics
occupy the 1st and 7th house axis and in Yava Yoga the 4th and 10th house axis. Parasara has
given a very specific condition for Kamal Yoga that no angular house should be vacant and
malefics and benefics should be placed mixed together and not in segregated form. In Gada
Yoga the planets occupy adjacent angular houses but there is no such condition that malefics
and benefics should he placed either in a mixed or segregated condition, whereas for Vajra and
Yava Yogas there is no specific condition that all the four houses should be occupied. This gives
the following interesting possibilities:
(a) If either Ascendant or seventh house is occupied by all benefic planets and
similarly either the 4th or 10th house is occupied with all malefic planets, the
effects of Gada Yoga will be operative duly modified by Vajra Yoga. (This means
that the malefics and benefics are placed in a segregated condition but also forming
Gada yoga.)
(b) Similarly, if either the Ascendant or seventh house is occupied by malefics and
either the 4th or 10th house is occupied by benefics, the effects of Gada Yoga will
be operative, duly modified by Yava Yoga.
(c) The further modification of these results will be necessary according to Ashraya
Yoga, depending on whether moveable, fixed or dual signs are placed in the
angular houses.
(d) Vajra and Yava Yogas will operate fully if all the angular houses are occupied.
(e) If only three angular houses are occupied, the effect of Asharya Yogas will be more
prominent.
(f) Similarly, in Dala Yogas, the condition is that three angular houses are occupied by
either benefics or malefics, but then the planets should be placed in a segregated
manner. Parasara has not put specific emphasis that all the three angles should be
occupied (unlike Kamal yoga where all angular houses must be occupied). Let us
take the example of Maala yoga. From the Ascendant or any other house, if the
other three angular houses (it may be either one or two or all the three) are
occupied by benefics and these houses are not occupied by malefics, Maala Yoga
will be operative. Of course, it would be more effective if all three angles are
occupied. Let us suppose that if all the three angular houses from a malefic plant
are occupied by all the benefics, then the Dasa of the malefic planet will not be
adverse. In the case of Vajra yoga, if all the malefics are placed in the 4th or 10th
house (either one of the two houses) and benefics occupy both the 1st and 10th
houses, a partial effect of Maala Yoga will be operative and the adverse results will
be considerably reduced. Similarly, if benefics are placed in one house and malefics
occupy both the other houses, the adverse results will grossly increase on account
of the partial effects of Sarpa Yoga. At the same time, Ashraya Yogas will be
operative in full as only three angular houses are occupied.
844
Ashraya, Dala, Gada, Sakata, Vihaga, Vajra, and Yava Yoga are formed based on
angular houses; as such these Yogas are inter-dependent on each other and should not be
viewed in isolation.
Effects of Vajra Yoga: The native born in this Yoga will be happy, valorous and
charming in the beginning and at the end of his life. In the middle position of his life and
during his young age, he will be devoid of desires and fortunes and will be villainous and
inimical to people.
All Jataka Granthas have followed Parasara and narrated almost similar results for
Vajra Yoga. The affliction to the 4th and 10th houses makes existence difficult in middle age
and generates bad character.
Effects of Yava Yoga: The native of this Yoga is happy in the middle portion of his life,
is endowed with wealth and progeny, is of a charitable disposition and has firmness of mind.
Due to the auspicious influence on the 4th and 10th houses, the native will observe fasts and
religious rites and has Satvika feelings. Such a native suffers grief and sorrow in the
beginning (childhood) and at the end of life i.e. in old age.
Auspicious influences on the 4th and 10th houses brings peace of mind and the native
enjoys excellent mental and physical health. Malefic influences on the ascendant and
seventh house bring disease, miseries and sorrow in childhood and in old age particularly
after the age of 54 years. This Yoga is more beneficial in middle age if ascending sign is
owned by benefics. If the ascending sign is of dual nature, the native will suffer from some
kind of permanent disability in the body.
6. Kamal Yoga: Kamal Yoga (Yavan Jataka calls it Mangla Yoga) is formed when all
the seven planets occupy all the four angular houses from the ascendant. No angular house
should be vacant. Further, malefics and benefics should be mixed with each other.
Effects: This is a rare but very powerful Yoga. All Jataka Granthas accept the view of
Parasara. In Indian mythology the lotus is a symbol of purity, beauty and elegance. Parasara says that
a native born in Kamal (lotus) Yoga will be endowed with grandeur and be virtuous, long-lived, free
from untimely death, very famous and pure, will perform hundreds of auspicious deeds and be ruler of
the earth. Yavanacharya says that such a native will do auspicious acts during his whole lifetime and
will be an able and powerful orator. He will have beautiful and auspicious progeny, be long-lived and
intelligent.
In fact, Kamal Yoga has the capability to purify the person and take away all the evils
generated by other Yogas. God incarnate, Lord Rama had 5 planets in the Kendra houses. (I
have not come across any horoscope so far having all the seven planets in all the four angular
houses.)
7. Vapi Yoga: This Yoga is formed when all the seven planets occupy houses other than the
angular houses. (In Vapi Yoga, all the planets should not be confined either to Panphara or Apoklima
houses only).
Effects: The person born in Vapi Yoga will be skilful in accumulating wealth and also skilful in
earning wealth, will be endowed with enduring wealth and happiness, be blessed with progeny, will
enjoy art, dancing and surroundings which are pleasing to the eyes and will live like a king. Varaha
Mihira says that such persons will live in moderate comfort over a long period, will be able to invest
his savings in secured investments, and be a miser. Jataka Bharana says that such persons are skilful
in earning wealth, are famous in their community, happy, proficient in some skills, beautiful but enjoy
happiness at a moderate level.
This is a common Yoga found in many nativities when seven planets fall in eight
845
houses other than the angular houses. The results will vary to a great extent from native to
native. For example, if the Ascendant lord occupies the 6th, 8th or 12th house, the miseries in
life may increase, whereas placement of the Ascendant lord in a trine, the 2nd or 11th house
will be beneficial. This is the reason, why the Jataka Granthas have given different results.
On the other hand, if most of the malefics occupy the 3rd and 6th houses and the benefics
occupy the 2nd, 5th, 9th and 11th houses, this Yoga will yield better results.
Horasara gives the following two Yogas (as an additional version of Kamal and Vapi yogas):
7(a) Madhya Yoga: When all the planets occupy panaphar (2nd, 5th, 8th and 11th) houses,
Madhya yoga is formed.
Effects: The native of this Yoga will live in other countries, be troubled by relatives
and be timid in nature. He will not have lasting wealth, will have few issues and will be in a
bad state at the time of death.
7(b) Kleeba Yoga: When all the planets occupy Apoklima (3rd, 6th, 9th and 12th) houses,
Kleeba Yoga will be formed.
Effects: The native born in this Yoga will be grieved, will live away from his birthplace,
be in the company of mean women and be fond of disputes. He will have a short life and his
death may occur in a distant place away from home.
Kamal, Madhya and Kleeba Yogas are generally not found in horoscopes. I feel that
even if 5 or 6 planets are in angular houses from each other, these Yogas will be operative to
a great extent. The results of these Yogas should be read along with Ashraya Yogas, because
angular houses will have signs of a similar nature. Jupiter and Saturn occupy angular houses
at an interval of about five (5) years, when the formation of such Yogas are possible.
Yogas Based On Placement In Trinal Houses
8. Shringataka Yoga: Shrinagataka Yoga is formed when all the seven planets occupy
trines from Ascendant (1st, 5th and 9th). (The placement of planets in even two trinal houses
from the Ascendant will make this Yoga operative, because shringataka means horns.)
Effects: The native born in Shringataka Yoga will be fond of quarrels, study in battles,
be of happy disposition, dear to the king (i.e. influential persons in society), endowed with
an auspicious wife, otherwise he may have an inimical disposition towards women. Varaha
Mihira says that such persons will be slaves to their wives.
In general this Yoga generates auspicious, prosperous and happy results. This is
basically on account of the presence of Jupiter in a trine, from where it also aspects the other
two trine houses. Mercury, Venus and Sun will always be together in this Yoga. This Yoga
is possible when Saturn and Jupiter are trine to each other. Such a combination occurs at an
interval of about seven (7) years.
9. Hal Yoga: This Yoga is formed when all the planets are placed in trines to each other,
except the trines from the Lagna, i.e. when all the planets occupy the 2 nd, 6 th and 10th houses,
or the 3 rd, 7 th, and 11th houses or the 4 th, 8 th and 12th houses.
Effects: Such persons earn money after putting in a lot of physical labor, have a big
846
appetite (gluttonous), are penurious, lead a miserable life, earn their livelihood by agriculture
and upbringing of animals (like cow, horses, sheep etc.), work like a servant. As a matter of
fact, such persons earn their livelihood after putting in a lot of hard work and labor.
This is a combination of trade and commerce with the help of relatives and friends.
Each trinal placement, of course will give different effects. However, Jataka Granthas give
only general results for this Yoga.
Important Note
It may be noted that when Jupiter and Saturn are conjunct, there arise possibilities of formation
of many powerful yogas, which require the position of all the planets in angular or trinal houses. This
is the reason why the conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn brings epochal and far-reaching changes in
society. These conjunctions occur every 20 years with an advance of about 123 degrees from previous
conjunction. This conjunction occurs in the same sign after about 60 years with a mean advance of
about 9 degrees from the previous conjunction. In about 794 years, Jupiter and Saturn conjoin almost
on the same degree (the difference may be one degree only). As such Saturn and Jupiter control
Epochal events with a cycle of about 20 years, 60 years and a final cycle of 794 years. These
conjunctions always bring far-reaching effects when they occur in the sign of Aries. In the last 120
years these conjunctions occurred on April 18, 1881 at the 10th degree, on October 20, 1940 at the 20th
degree (when both the planets were retrograde), again on February 15, 1941 at the 16th degree, and
finally on May 28, 2000 at the 29th degree in the sign Aries . The twentieth century (52nd century of
Kaliyuga era) has seen, without any iota of doubt, epoch-making changes in the field of scientific
achievements and unprecedented changes in social order all over the world.
The importance of Kamal and Shringatak Yogas may be looked at from this point of view also, as
these Yogas are controlled by the cycles of Saturn and Jupiter. Maharishi Parasara may have
indicated powerful effects for these yogas on account of such considerations.
10. Yupa Yoga: This Yoga is formed when all the planets are placed in the first four
houses from the Ascendant (i.e. in 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th houses). Parasara has not imposed the
condition that all the four houses should be occupied, but the Yoga will be most effective if
all the houses are occupied and no house in between is unoccupied. (If one house is vacant,
Shoola Yoga, a Sankhya Yoga, will be more effective).
Effects: The persons born in Yupa Yoga will have spiritual knowledge, will be
interested in doing sacrificial rites (Yajnas), be endowed with wife and valour, interested in
keeping fasts and other religious observations and be distinguished.
All Jataka Granthas have given similar auspicious results for Yupa Yoga. There is a
rule for Graha Maalika Yogas that the house from where Yoga commences, controls the
good effects of the Yoga. In Yupa Yoga, the Lagna should be powerful. The above
auspicious results will be felt in full measure if the Ascendant, 2nd and 4th houses are
occupied by benefics and the 3rd house by malefics.
11. Shara (Arrow) Yoga: When all the seven planets occupy four houses from 4th house
(i.e. 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th houses), Shara Yoga is formed. Varaha Mihira calls it Ishu or Vana
Yoga.
Effects: The person born in this Yoga will be a maker of arrows, be the head of a prison,
will earn money by hunting animals in forests, be a non-vegetarian (tamasic food), be of a

847
violent disposition and a creator of low class and rough handicrafts. Varaha Mihira adds that
such persons will indulge in torture.
The persons of such Yogas generally indulge in activities like manufacturing weapons
for unlawful objectives. Their handiwork will lack refinement and fine skill. In case the 4th
house is auspicious and powerfully disposed, this yoga will lead to favorable results.
12. Shakti Yoga: When all the planets occupy four houses from the 7th house (i.e. 7th, 8th,
9th and 10th), Shakti Yoga is formed.
Effects: This Yoga signifies denial of wealth, the native will be unsuccessful in
undertakings, miserable, have a mean and lazy disposition, be cruel, well-versed in the art of
war, in the modern context be adept in winning arguments or convincing others, be of a firm
disposition and will ultimately obtain good results. Varaha Mihira says the person will not
be skilled in work and will be without money and comfort.
Parasara’s views are more balanced. According to him, such persons will ultimately win
the day on account of their firm disposition and capability and determination to convince
others.
13. Danda (Stick) Yoga: When all the planets occupy four houses from the 10th house
(i.e. 10th, 11th, 12th and 1st), Danda Yoga is formed.
Effects: Such persons will be away from wife, children and their own wealth, may have
to adopt cruel methods, live away from their relatives and friends, be miserable, and may
even serve mean people. Varaha Mihira says that such persons will be separated from
persons affectionate to them and will not hesitate to earn their livelihood by employing low
class means.
In Sanskrit, Danda is indicative of persons who roam away from place of birth in the
search of livelihood. In olden days this was a bad indication and the evils attached to such
circumstances are mentioned in this Yoga. In the modern age such a Yoga may prove a boon
for persons who try to settle or visit distant lands for their livelihood. In horoscopes in
which the 10th, 11th, 12th and 1st houses are occupied, the native either settles down in a foreign
country or may visit foreign countries frequently to earn money.
Graha Maalika Yogas

When planets occupy five or more than five consecutive houses, such Yogas are called
Graha Maalika Yogas. In Nabhasa Yogas Rahu and Ketu are not considered. Parasara
indicated only four Yogas of this category, namely Nauka, Koota, Chhatra and Chaapa
Yogas. Yavan Jataka and Bhavartha Ratnakar by Shri Ramanujacharya includes other Graha
Maalika Yogas. I am including all these Yogas for the benefit of the readers.
14. Nauka Yoga: If all the seven planets occupy the seven houses commencing from the
Ascendant, Nauka Yoga is formed.
This Yoga will give full effects if all the houses from the Ascendant to the seventh
house are occupied. However, it is essential that the ascendant and seventh house should be
occupied for Nauka Yoga to be operative.
Effects: The persons born in this Yoga will depend for their livelihood on water-born
minerals, pearls, creatures etc., (these days fishing and dealing in pearls and coral etc. is a big
industry), and they will be wealthy, over-ambitions, famous and renowned. On the negative
side, the native will be cruel, miserly, greedy and avaricious.
In this Yoga all the planets are placed in the invisible half of the horoscope. Jataka
848
Bharana says that such natives also have thievish tendencies. All the planets placed in five
consecutive houses are a common occurrence. However, it is rare find a configuration when
all the seven planets are placed in seven consecutive houses. This is the reason that
Kalasarpa Yoga (i.e. when all the seven planet are on one side of Rahu-Ketu axis) is found
commonly in many horoscopes.
15. Koota Yoga: When all the seven planets occupy houses from the 4th to the 10th house
this Yoga is formed.
Effects: The person of Koota Yoga will be unreliable in speech, will be head of a prison
or one who will be in-charge of bonded labour, may encounter liquidity problems, be crafty,
cruel, and will live on hills and in fortresses (meaning large villas).
These persons are generally honoured, reputed, employ lot of bonded labour, but do not
hesitate to earn money by questionable means.
16. Chhatra Yoga: This Yoga is formed when all the planets are placed from the 7th to
the Ascendant, i.e. in the visible half of the nativity.
Effects: The person born in this yoga will provide protection to his family members and
associates, be kind, will be very dear to the influential people in society (i.e. kings, ministers
or persons of high status), will have excellent intelligence, be happy in the beginning and
end of the life and be long lived.
As the planets are placed in the visible half of the nativity, such persons will be of great
excellence, good fortune in profession, obtaining favors from government and other
organizations etc. If the 10th house is occupied by benefics, they will also enjoy a good life
even in their middle age.
17. Chaapa Yoga: When all the planets occupy houses from the 10th to the 4th house,
Chaapa Yoga is formed. Saravali and Yavan Jataka also call it "Varnuka Yoga".
Effects: The natives of Chaapa Yoga will not speak the truth, will provide protection to
thieves and criminals (in modern terminology they may resemble underworld dons), they
themselves will indulge in criminal activities, will wander in forests, be devoid of fortune, be
happy in the middle part of their lives. However, Varaha Mihira and other Jataka Granthas
say that they will happy at the end and in the beginning of their lives.
The planets placed in angular houses will control the fortunes of the native.
Graha Maalika Yogas From Yavan Jataka

(1). Shayani Yoga: This Yoga is formed if all the planets are placed in five houses
commencing from the Ascendant. (In Yupa yoga, all planets are placed in four houses from
the Ascendant)
Effects: The natives of Shayani Yoga will get lot of honor on account of the fame and
prominence of their families and they will be endowed with lasting happiness,
(2). Jangal Yoga: This Yoga is formed if all the planets are placed in five houses from
the 4th house.
Effects: The natives of this Yoga are generally adept in serving others.
Such a Yoga is prominent in housewives, in well-to-do families. They try to look after
their families well. Such persons enjoy helping their kith and kin.
(3). Nishrayani Yoga: If all the planets occupy five houses from the 7th house,
Nishrayani Yoga is formed.
Effects: These persons are very clever, act as ambassadors and traverse a lonely path.
849
They sometimes get trapped or deceived by others.
This is a very powerful Yoga as its name suggests. Nishrayani means leader. Such
persons rise in life due to their intellectual abilities and persuasive skills. They always rise if
they work in groups.
(4). Kunta Yoga: If all planets occupy five houses from the 10th house, Kunta Yoga is
formed.
Effects: If this Yoga starts from the Sun in the 10th house, the person is full of fighting
spirit and shines like the Sun. Otherwise a person of this yoga will be of fiery disposition
and be able to overcome all adversities.
Kunta means a spear with a pointed sharp edge. Such persons therefore fix their eyes on
a specific goal in life and are able to win over all adversities
(5). Pankti Yoga: When all the planets occupy six consecutive houses commencing
from the Lagna, 4th , 7th or 10th house, Pankti Yoga is formed. These Yogas are called Nagar
Yogas.
Effects: If this Yoga commences from the Lagna, the person enjoys a status like a king,
but if this Yoga commences from 4th, 7th or 10th house the person enjoys a status like a
minister. These persons enjoy urban social life.
(5a). Pankti Yogas of different kinds are formed when all the planets occupy six houses
in consecutive order. It commences from any house other than an angular house (1st, 4th, 7 th
or 10th). Such Yogas are simply called Pankti Yogas (but these Yogas do not fall into the
category of Nagar Yoga.)
Effects: These persons also enjoy life, but depend for their prosperity on agricultural
proceeds and animals. They are able to fulfill all their desires and use their knowledge for
productive work. On the negative side, they do not have any set goal in life i.e. they lead
town or village life as it comes to them.
Note: Ramanujacharya says that Graha Mallika Yoga occupying five, six, seven, eight
or nine houses will be fortunate provided the Yoga starts from the Lagna or the Sun. He
suggests the presence of all nine planets including Rahu and Ketu. However, as we are
discussing Nabhasa Yogas only, Rahu and Ketu are not being considered. The following
points should be kept in view while considering Graha Maalika Yogas.
(1) The commencing house is most important and controls the effects of the Yoga to a
large extent.
(2) If the Yoga starts from an angular house, or a powerful Sun, it yields auspicious
and powerful results.
(3) If the planet in commencing house is weak, the Yoga will not yield good results.
(4) Dr. B. V. Raman gives a table in his translation of Bhavartha Ratnakar, which is
reproduced below for ready reference:
Starting house of Results
Graha Maalika Yoga
(1) Lagna King, commander, wealthy,
nd
(2) 2 house Very wealthy, dutiful, resolute, unsympathetic
rd
(3) 3 house Ruler, rich, sickly, surrounded by brave men
th
(4) 4 house Charitable, liberal, wealthy
th
(5) 5 house Malicious and famous

(6) 6th house Greedy, somewhat poor
(7) 7th house Coveted by women and influential
(8) 8th house Poor and henpecked
(9) 9th house Religious, well-to-do, mighty and good
(10) 10th house Respected, virtuous
(11) 11th house Skilful and lord of lovely women
(12) 12th house honored, liberal and respected
Parasara also narrates the following yogas:

18. Ardha Chandra Yogas: Ardha Chandra Yogas occur when all the seven planets
occupy seven houses commencing from any house other than the angles (i.e. the 2nd, 3rd,
5th, 6th, 8th, 9th, 11th or12th). Thus if we begin from the 2nd house, the first Ardha Chandra
Yoga will be formed when all the planets occupy the 2nd to the 8th houses. These Yogas are
eight in number.
Effects: The person born in Ardha Chandra Yoga will be fortunate, the general of an
army (means that he will command over people), will have a splendorous body, be a favorite
of the king, be strong and be endowed with gems, gold and armaments (according to
Saravali).
Parasara is of the view that the seven planets should occupy all the seven houses.
However, this Yoga will manifest even if five houses are occupied consecutively. In some
cases, it is found that either Rahu or Ketu occupy the intervening house. Even though such a
Yoga will not fall in the category of Nabhasa Yogas, but powerful effects of Graha maalika
Yoga will be felt. As suggested by Ramanujacharya, Graha Maalika Yoga operates even if 5,
6, 7, 8 or 9 houses are occupied by eight planets. As Ardha Chandra Yogas commence from
Panphara or Apoklima houses, it gives prominent results in young or old age respectively.
Note: Many learned savants in astrology maintain that Kala Sarpa and Kala Amrit
Yoga’s are not mentioned in any ancient Hora Granths. Graha Maalika And Ardha Chandra
Yogas Paved The Basis Of These Yogas. When ever, all the planets are placed (particularly
in consecutive houses) on one side of two points which are 180 degree away will give rise to
such yoga’s."
19.Chakra Yoga: If all the planets occupy six alternative houses commencing from the
Ascendant, Chakra Yoga is formed.
Effects: The person of this Yoga will be either an emperor or a greatly honored saint
whose feet even the kings, bearing crowns studded with bright stones, will bow their heads
to. This Yoga is formed when all the planets are in odd houses (i.e. 1 st, 3 rd, 5 th, 7 th, 9 th and
11th houses). If odd signs occupy these houses, the emperor will be of widespread fame, will
have a powerful disposition and be wealthy. This combination is more suited for emperors.
If all the planets are in even signs, the person will be of gentle manners, have sweet speech
and good intelligence. The latter combination is more suited to saints. Chakra Yoga
basically gives a lot of power, authority and influence over others.
20. Samundra Yoga: If all the planets occupy six alternate houses commencing from the
nd
2 house, Samundra Yoga is formed.
Effects: The person born in Samundra Yoga will be endowed with many precious
851
stones and much wealth and splendor; will enjoy all kinds of pleasures, be very popular
among people, will have sons, a radiant personality and lasting wealth.
In fact, this is a combination of wealth and a splendorous life.
Sankhya Yogas:
These are seven in number. I give below these Yogas in tabular form:
(1) Gola Yoga — all planets in one sign
(2) Yuga Yoga — in two signs
(3) Shoola Yoga — in three signs
(4) Kedara Yoga — in four signs
(5) Pushpa Yoga — in five signs
(6) Dama Yoga — in six signs
(7) Veena Yoga — in seven signs
Before discussing these Yogas, it would be advantageous to discuss their special
features:
(1) One or another Sankhya Yoga is always present in every horoscope. I may be
permitted to say that Sankhya Yoga has its own effect on each nativity and acts as
a catalyst. It may not be forgotten that Nabhasa Yogas are indicative of a
combined Karakatva (signification) of the nativity. They do not give results
directly but with help of other Yogas.
(2) If any particular Sankhya Yoga is present, then the chart is to be carefully scanned
to see which other Nabhasa Yogas are present and operating. Suppose any one of
the Yogas like Kamal, Vajra, and Yava is present, then the effects of Kedara Yoga
will be felt at some stage. For example, if Gada Yoga is operating, the effects of
Yuga Yoga will definitely manifest at some stage.
(3) Gola, Yuga and Shoola Yogas generate adversities in the native's life, while the
remaining four Yogas help in generating even Raja Yogas, if other conditions are
favourable.
(4) It may always be remembered that Nabhasa Yogas do not operate in isolation of
each other, but try to be co-operative with each other. In all Yogas formed by the
angular position of planets, Ashraya Yogas will be operative. Whenever the
malefic and benefic planets are segregated from each other, the effects of Dala
Yoga will be felt. Sankhya Yogas will modify the effects all other Yogas. There
should not be any doubt about it.
Effects Of Sankhya Yoga
1. Gola Yoga (all planets in one house). Jataka Granthas have given diverse results: The
person of Gola Yoga will be strong, be devoid of wealth, learning and intelligence, be dirty,
be always sorrowful and miserable. Hora Sara says such persons will have a short life, have a
defect in some limb, will be devoid of relatives, wife and sons. Hora Sara further says that if
the above Yoga is formed in the Ascendant, 9th, 10th or 11th house, the above results will not apply.
Mythological literature indicates that Meghnath, the son of Ravana, had Gola Yoga in
the 11th house.
852
2. Yuga Yoga: Such persons will be hypocrites, be devoid of wealth, right conduct,
progeny and mother and be declared outcasts by society. Hora Sara says that such persons
will be disabled, harsh in speech and shameless, will incur debts, be short lived, and have
lack of ability.
The effects of this Yoga are generally bad. If Gada, Shakata and Vihaga Yogas are
formed without involving angular houses, the effects of Yuga Yoga will be felt more
prominently.
3. Shoola Yoga: Shoola means thorn. Such persons will be sharp but devoid of means to
achieve success in life, violent in behavior, rejected and scorned by society, very brave and
get fame in war (fights). Hora Sara says that such persons will be clever and will pursue
many vocations to earn their livelihood, be sickly, earn by sale and purchase, and will be
childless in spite of two marriages (meaning that they may not be happy or lucky with
regard to progeny).
These persons are very crafty and are ruled by expediency only. Their wealth and profession is
never steady. When any Ashraya Yoga is present involving three angular houses from the Ascendant,
a cunning or crafty statesman is born, famous for his machinations. Their wealth and fame will
always vary in sine waves and such persons are really very tough and difficult to deal with.
The above three Sankhya Yogas do not always yield good results. Even other good and
auspicious Yogas are overshadowed by these Yogas. In case all the planets are placed in three
houses in Kendras or trines from the Lagna, then the effects of Shoola Yoga will be
neutralized to a great extent.
4. Kedara Yoga: Such a person will be a benefactor to others, will earn name and fame
by his own efforts, agricultural products will be the mainstay of his livelihood, he will be
truthful, happy, dutiful, will be sluggish in taking decisions (if other good Yogas are present,
then he may act after giving due consideration to all aspects), will earn honors and wealth.
Most powerful Nabhasa Yogas are formed when all the planets are in four angular
houses. In such a situation Kedara Yoga becomes operative automatically. This is one of the
very auspicious Yogas. When the planets are placed in four consecutive houses, Kedara
Yoga will again become operative.
Now the effects of three Yogas, when all the planets are placed in five, six or seven
houses, will be explained. These Yogas will enhance the good results of Graha Maalika
Yogas and help to generate Raj Yogas.
5. Paasha Yoga: Paasha is rope, which is used to tie, to bind together or to restrict. The
person with Paasha Yoga will be burdened with many responsibilities and expenses, be
skillful in work, will have a crafty disposition, and will have many servants and a large
family to support. On the negative side he will be very talkative and be devoid of virtues and
good manners.
This Yoga is a mixed bag. On account of their crafty nature, such persons land
themselves into trouble with authorities. Girish Chandra Sharma says that if the Ascendant
lord is placed in the 2nd Drekkana of Scorpio (Paasha Drekkana) in the 6th, 8th, and 12th house,
it forms a Yoga for imprisonment.
In Graha Maalika Yogas when planets are placed in five houses and if the commencing
sign is occupied by benefics and is strong, the native obtains good results, otherwise this
Yoga can give a lot of problems as Paasha Yoga, which is also formed, starts showing its
853
results.
6. Daamini Yoga: Paasha may represent a rope, which is equivalent to a noose also.
Dam or Daamini indicates money or a group of things. This is an auspicious Yoga. The
persons born in Daamini Yoga will be thoroughly gentle, helpful to others, will have
righteously earned wealth, be very affluent, famous, endowed with many sons and gems (or
sons who will be like gems in society), will have fortitude and be learned. He will be devoted
to public welfare and be a noted scholar.
7. Veena Yoga: Such a person will be a lover of songs, dances and musical instruments,
be skilful and of happy and loving disposition. He will be the chief among his own family,
wise and expert. He will love the right things and will be full of enthusiasm.
Some additional Nabhasa Yogas are given in Hora Sara, Yavan Jataka and Vridha
Yavan Jataka. These Yogas are given below for the benefit of readers.
1. Safal Parvat Yoga: This is a kind of Maala Yoga. When all the benefic planets occupy
the 1st, 7th and 10th houses, and malefics are placed in the other houses, Safal Parvat Yoga is
formed.
Effects: The person of this Yoga is very powerful and influential like a king. This is a
good Yoga for successful politicians.
2. Kalash Yoga: This Yoga is formed when all the malefics occupy the 1st, 7th and 10th
houses and benefics are placed in the other houses.
Effects: The person of this Yoga will accumulate a lot of material wealth and will work
for the upliftment of good people of saintly disposition. (Such results are possible if the
Ascendant lord is powerfully disposed and the 4th house is under benefic influence.)
3. Dola Yoga: When four planets occupy the 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th houses and the other
three planets occupy the remaining three Kendras, then Dola Yoga is formed. (Dola means
roaming about here and there).
Effects: Such a person enjoys travelling and remains happy and prosperous.
4. Pipeelika Yoga: This Yoga is formed when benefics occupy the 6th and 12th houses
and malefics are placed in the 3rd and 9th houses.
Effects: These persons are devoid of property and wealth. (This is a kind of Vajra
Yoga.)
5. Garta Yoga: When malefics occupy the 6th and 12th houses and benefics occupy the 3rd
and 9th houses, Garta Yogas formed (it is opposite to Pipeelika Yoga).
Effects: Such persons are always unhappy, worried about others and poor.
6. Nadi Yoga (River Yoga): When benefic planets occupy the 5th and 11th houses and all
the malefics occupy the 2nd and 8th houses, Nadi Yoga is formed. (Nadi means small river.)
Effects: These persons are lucky, live like kings, and travel in auspicious Nakshatras
(meaning that they enjoy travelling for good and auspicious undertakings).
7. Nad Yoga: When malefics occupy the 5th and 11th houses and benefics occupy the 6th
and 8th houses, this Yoga is formed.
Effects: Such persons are very wise and blessed with sons (6th and 8th houses provide
unobstructed and benefic Argala on the 5th house of wisdom and progeny).
8. Varaha Yoga: When all the planets occupy the 1st, 4th and 5th houses, Varaha Yoga
will be formed.
854
Effects: Such natives will command land, wealth, happiness and wisdom.
9. Kantaka Yoga: When all planets occupy the 2nd, 3rd and 4th houses, Kantaka Yoga is
formed.
Effects: Such natives will be wealthy and learned but short lived, and will have no
issue.
Varaha and Kantaka Yogas fall in the category of Soola (Sankhya) Yogas. Varaha Yoga
yields better results.
10. Sankha Yoga: This Yoga is formed when all the planets occupy the 1st, 4th, 9th and 11th
houses. This is a kind of Kahala (Sankhya) Yoga.
Effects: Such persons will be a repository of virtues, brave and well versed in the
Shastras.
Conclusion
Nabhasa Yogas indicate the natural significations of the nativity. As such the results
are not felt directly or straightaway. This can be explained by an example. Saturn is the
significator of grief, servants, hard work and foresight. If Saturn is placed in the Ascendant
in sign Aries, the native will be required to put in a lot of hard work but he will get only
grief in return. However if Saturn is placed in the seventh house in Libra, he will gain
wealth and comfort in return for his efforts and labor. Similarly, the signification of
Nabhasa Yogas will manifest and depend on the other Yogas in the nativity.
Dr. B. Suryanarian Rao, in his commentary on Brihat Jataka quotes Bhattotpala:
"Rich men may have external objects for enjoyment, but their minds may be greatly
affected and they may feel themselves miserable, through various other causes. Poor men
may have external marks of misery, but at heart they may feel quite happy and contented.
Happiness and misery (wealth and poverty, health and disease) are relative terms and are
made so by the bent of mind the man possesses and the view he takes of the presence of evil
and good about him.”
Thus, the overall signification of a nativity, indicated by Nabhasa Yogas, will manifest
and amend itself according to other Yogas. These effects will be felt in directional periods
and transits.
One has to cultivate art of prediction with the help of Nabhasa Yogas, because these
Yogas indicate the personality of the astral body.

To
The Editor,
Saptarishis Astrology
www.saptarishiastrology.com
Sir,
We enclose herewith a detailed article on Jaimini's Upapada for publication, if that meets your standards.
Upapada Sutras by Shri. Jaimini are drafted for male nativities. Modern day females have right to select
/reject/divorce their husbands on various grounds of disharmony, physical, mental or sexual disabilities. Looking
into the needs of modern times, we were desperate that Upadesha Sutras become applicable to female charts also.
After years of experimentation we discovered “Agra” (A¢) sign, for finding Upapada for female charts. Thus
“%ppd< pd< ipÇnucrat!“, of male natives becomes “%ppd< pd< ipÇ¢at!.“ for females. With this modification, now
Upapada Sutras become applicable with full force to charts of both sexes.
We do not have facility of computers to check the accuracy of charts used in the article. We entirely depend on
charts available in books and journals. Kindly check them, if you so desire.
Sincerely yours.
(Jagdish Raj Ratra)

A-2, Rishi Nagar,

Word of Appreciation
Jaimini Sutras have always been enshrouded in mystery, for long due to the very nature of sutras, which by their
very nature are very brief. Upapada (%ppd) or Gaunapada (gaE[pd) is one such factor that has always been
subject to multiplicity of opinion amongst scholars. The mystery here is about what the sage meant when he
talked of pitranucaraat (ipÇnucrat! ). Some scholars opine that it is the 12th bhava while some say that since the
2nd bhava rises after the Lagna bhava on the horizon one should treat the 2nd bhava as the Gauna bhava
(gaE[Éav), whose pada can be called the upapada. Then some opine that for odd rasis rising as lagna one should
treat the 2nd as the Gauna bhava (gaE[Éav) and for even rasis the 12th should be considered the Gauna bhava
(gaE[Éav), whose pada shall be called upapada. There are some scholars who claim that for female this should be
reversed as is done in case of Putra bhava (puÇÉav) for Stree jataka (female astrology). Some scholars have
another explanation for the word pitranucaraat (ipÇnucrat! ). They say that the word Pitra (ipÇ) is not to be
interpreted by “katapayaadi” (kqpyadI) decryption method but to be taken to indicate the bhava of Pita that is
father and hence it is the Gauna bhava (gaE[Éav) of the 9th bhava which is to be taken as the bhava whose pada
shall lead to Upapada. Each of these arguments has its own distinct logic. It is then no wonder that most
astrologers keep away from the Jaimini sutras as these complexities are too much for them. Jagdish Raj Ratra has
taken great pains to unravel this aspect of Jaimini sutras and given a new direction to the whole method of
calculation of upapada and shown here how the principles of sage Jaimini can be applied with the help of
numerous charts. We hope that this article will help give a new insight into the application of Jaimini principles,
to our learned readers and encourage them to carry out more research in this, least understood and most talked
about, branch of Vedic astrology.

Upapada:
The Ultimate Determinant Of Family
& Marriage Life
A Novel Exposition

Jagdish Raj Ratra, India
Copy Editor: Chandrashekhar Sharma

Readership Level: Scholars
I
n arranged marriages Matching of Horoscopes
ranges from fashion to necessity. Koot Milan is
done from Nakshatra-Padas of would be brides
and grooms. Some experts perform 'Graha
Milan', yet the future spousal life remains a mystery
or rather a Lottery.
The Rishis of yore solved this problem of

uncertainty. They developed a system, whereby
from horoscope of a groom, harmony and turmoil
of Conjugal Life, Virtues and distractions of wife,
the number of children she will bear, the number
of co-born she has, (the Mayaka of her root
Jagdish Raj Ratra is B.Com (hons) L.L.B family) could be predicted. The method was
through Upapada Kundali. By certain rules, one
Fellow (F.I.I) worked in Insurance Sector (LIC of the houses in male horoscope was chosen as
Of India) for 38 years. He has been dedicated reference to lagna which was called 'Upapada'.
Shri Jaimini, whose Sutras are like an ocean in a
to serious study in astrology since last few
decades. He retired in Feb 1996, has special cup, define Upapada - upapadaM (%ppd<), padaM
interest in Jaimini Astrology. He Researches (pd<), pitranucaraat (ipÇnucrat! ). This contains
on
three key words - (1) Pitree (ipt&), (2) Anuchara
a) Why there are 150 nadis in a sign and
what is the span of each nadi (Anucr), and (3) Padam (pd<). If we can
b) What is their importance and its understand them, we shall know Upapada. A
contribution in natives age span? little review of these magic words is necessary.
Padam (pd<) or Aroodha (AaêF) is known to all
students of astrology. (yavdIzaïy< pd\]a[am!²)

"As far as a Sign-lord is away from its sign that
far away is the “Padam” from the sign-lord., is
the basic rule, e.g. Mars, the lord of Mesha rasi, if
placed in Simha, (Mesha to Simha are five signs)
which is five signs away from Mesha, counting
again the five signs ahead including Simha i.e.
Simha, Kanya, Tula, Vrishchika and Dhanu, are
five signs. Thus,
857
Dhanu is Aroodha of Mesha, whose lord occupies the fifth house from it. This rule is applicable to all
non-kendra placement of sign lords.
Special Rules: (1) svasthe daaraaH.(SvSwe dara>,) & (2) sutasthe janmaH. (sutSwe jNm>,) now
daaraaH (dara>) is plural of (the word) daaraa (dara). So, it refers to more than one sign or bhava.
Sva (Sv) has more than one meaning. (i) Swa is own. (ii) Putting numerical value to Swa is 4. (iii)
Dara's numerical value is, Da = 8. Ra = 2. If written in speaking order, it is 28. expunging multiples of 12,
we get 4. [Having collected the numbers from the letters used, we have to reverse them. Then divide the
same figure by twelve, and obtain the remainder. Thus the word daaraa (dara) stands for 28 divided by
12, it stands for the figure 4 indicating 4th house.]
If Simha lord is placed in his own sign, there is zero gap between sign and sign lord, in terms of signs.
Rishi says extend this gap to 4 signs, eg. If Mars is in Mesha, its pada is in Kataka.
The second connotation is that, if that gap between sign and sign lord is four signs, [then also extend to
another further a total of four signs], to get Aroodha, eg. If Mars, the Lord of Mesha is placed in Cancer,
count four signs away [from Kataka] which is Tula, which is Aroodha of Mesha. These are special rules
for [concerned] sign lord's placement in first Kendra, but second Kendra placement from his sign comes
under general rules to which one sign reduction is applicable in Aroodha to retro lords of Pitree,
Agrachara and Anuchara signs. sutasthe janmaH. (sutSwe jNm>,) is special rule for placement of sign lord
in the 3rd Kendra to his sign. The word Suta (sut) is seven, and the word Janma (jNm) is ten,
numerically, under katapayadi paddhati. This rule says, if sign lord is placed in seventh from its sign,
though gap is seven signs, extend it ten signs ahead to reach the Aroodha. This is the rule for third
Kendra placement. To the fourth Kendra placement general rule is applicable, as no specific rule has
been framed. These Kendra placement rules override vriddha karikas and their followers. Rishi rejects
them.
Summary of Padas:
Placement of Sign Lord Aroodha of Sign

First House Fourth House
Seventh House Fourth House
Second House Third House
Eighth House Third House
Third House Fifth House
Ninth House Fifth House
Fourth House Seventh House
Tenth House Seventh House
Fifth House Ninth House
Eleventh House Ninth House
Sixth House Eleventh House
Twelfth House Eleventh House
This summary of padas (Aroodhas) is valid where Lagna degrees and Planet degrees are not available.
Wherever this information is available the padas are calculated by formula:
Pada = Sphuta (degrees) of bhava lord X 2 – Bhava sphuta.
Under special rules, simply add 90°, 120°, 180° etc. to the bhava sphuta to get the Pada.
858
Pitree (ipt&) is a key word in definition. Almost all scholars have put numerical value of Pitree
(ipt&) condensed to one i.e. rising Lagna [bhava]. A careful study of Jaimini Sutras will reveal that, his
predictions on Jataka are not based on rising lagna but, on derived lagnas such as seven karakamsha
lagnas, twelve Aroodha Lagnas, [including one Upapada-Lagna], Varnada Lagna, Gulika etc.
Bhavesha Ashraya Raashi (Éavez Aaïy razI that is the Rashi that gives shelter to the Bhava lord)
is very significant in Aroodha system. Here rising lagna is subordinate to the sign of placement for
Lagna Lord, because the placement sign is the place in the horoscope from where it shall discharge its
horoscopic duties by aspects and other relationships. Hence, placement sign is called Pitree (ipt&) Bhava.
(Éavezae yÇ itóit s> ipt&,). This concept has given excellent results in age calculations, in thousands of horoscopes.
Anuchara (Anucr) is the one that follows the person ahead of him. Suppose A, B, C three persons
are standing in queue. A is first in queue, B second, and C as third. Hence B is anuchara of A. C is
anuchara of B. A is leader of (A¢cr) of B. B is Agrachara (A¢cr) of C. Applying this logic to signs that
rise in the east. Suppose Mesha is rising in the East, whose Agrachara (A¢cr) was Mina. When it
passes off, Vrishabha shall follow as Anuchara (Anucr).
We shall chart the odd signs as per Praachi VrittiH Vishameshu' (àacIv&ÄI iv;me;u).

Merging the two groups, we get Anuchara and Agrachara signs as under:

12 Pisces 1 Aries 11 Aquarius
Anuchara sign (Anucr razI) is relevant for male nativity and Agrachara sign (A¢cr razI) for female nativity. As
per Vedic tradition, wife is Anuchara (follower or one who walks behind) of husband, and Husband is (leader or
one who walks ahead) Agrachara.
Having understood Pitree, Anuchara and Padam, we can easily locate Upapada in any horoscope.
Please note, in Aroodha, no distinction is made between even and odd signs. Their count is always
forward. If a bhava lord is retrograde, such retrogration needs special attention and are subject in
themselves, as explained herein after. Sri Jaimini gives following Sutras.
papSy papyaege àìJya darnazae va, (Paapasya Paapayoge pravajyaa Daara Naasho Vaa.) (J.S. 01.04.05.)

In a nutshell, benefics by aspect (Jaiminian Aspects) and conjunction on Upapada, or its lord,
blesses native with blissful married life. While malefics create differences, tensions, quarrels, disloyalty
and even divorce. It has been observed that, Ketu by aspect or conjunction on Upapada or its lord, denies
marriage. If benefics force marriage. Ketu kills spouse or destroys marriage, while other malefics create
disharmony.
Practical utility of Upapada is available in the following horoscope discussed by late Dr. B. V.
Raman, at page 760, of October 1986 issue of [The] Astrological Magazine. In this piece Raman gives
instance of his flop interpretation of Kalatra Bhava of one Sri Acharya of Tirupati at Allahabad in
March 1938.
How is my Kalatra Bhava? was asked by 48 years old Acharya. Mr. Raman writes - my analysis
was simple following Parashara. The lord of the seventh house Sun is in Kendra in association with
Jupiter and Mercury and otherwise un-afflicted. Depositor of Sun, Mars is exalted, but in the twelfth
house with Venus and Ketu, aspected by Lagna lord Saturn. Thus, while the seventh house is somewhat
afflicted, there is no denial of marriage. Since Moon is in a malefic sign and aspected by Saturn and
Mars. This makes you impulsive and quarrelsome. Due to this, your wife could have left or died.
The Acharya became furious and remarked that, he took pity on his knowledge. He said, "No
astrologer in India including 'Jyotisha Samrat' has succeeded in analyzing correctly my seventh house.
He told - 'My first marriage took place in my 12th year and wife died in 18th year. And my second wife
marriage performed in the 18th years and bore me two sons and four daughters. She also died in 41st
year. My third marriage was performed when I was 43 years and she too died in my 47th year, after
giving birth to a female child, who also died. Today, I have no wife and have come to this place to spend
rest of my life. I myself know astrology but cannot figure out which yoga have caused these deaths''.
860
The horoscope quoted by Shri Raman is difficult to decode as far as 7th house is concerned.
Using Jaimini definition of Upapada we shall try to understand, whether it is applicable to this chart.
The sign allotted to Lagna Lord Saturn is Kataka (an even sign). It also is Pitree. It qualifies for
backward counting. Its Anuchara is Mithun. (See chart of Anuchara and Agrachara). Aroodha for
Mithun is Mesha, which becomes Upapada. It is a malefic sign. But sign lord being exalted should grant
multiple wives which it did grant. But how many? Three benefics Sun, Mercury and Jupiter aspect
Upapada, denoting three wives.

But all died. Ketu's conjunction or aspect on Upapada or its lord, or both or on marriage granting
planets, destroys wives (spouses). Here Ketu joins Upapada lord (Mars) and aspects three marriages
granting planets destroying all marriages.
End of Part I
We will demonstrate role of Ketu on Upapada over dozen cases in Part II. Thereby confirming
our interpretation of Upapada passes the test of scrutiny.
Upapada Part II
Deviating entirely from traditional meaning of Upapada we have visualized new concept of Pitree [sign]
(ipt& razI) and Anuchara [sign] (Anucr razI) and proposed Agrachara [sign] (A¢cr razI) for female
natives. We have made random selection of charts from various sources - astrodata bank - Articles by
renowned authors appearing in widely read magazines.

spoils the game.
867
We observe that, in cases of celibacy (Siddhas, Shankaracharyas, Spiritual men) no marriages,
disharmony, divorce or destruction of spouse, Ketu is involved by aspect or conjunction over Upapada sign or
Upapada Lord. In the first place Ketu denies marriage and if benefics force marriage, it destroys them.

nowhere involved with Upapada and its lord, the native should have been a family man. Has Jaiminian
failed ? No. Notice carefully Kanyaa sphuta is 1760 36' (i.e. Lagna Sphuta minus 600.) and Mercury is 2120
58'. The gap between them is 360 12'. When we add 360 12’ to the longitudes of Mercury, that is 2120 58',
we get 2490 10', i.e. Dhanu becomes Upapada. Which is under aspect of Ketu, along with Venus. Ketu
has destroyed sensuous, Venusian role and made him Brahmachari and Spiritual Man.

Now, we will discuss difficult charts, where Lagna lord or Lords of Anuchara and Agrachara bhavas are
in retrogration. Here, Upapada worked out in normal procedure, do not respond to the realities of life.
How to tackle them? There is no guideline in texts.
We are of the view, that retrograde planets have their corpus or body in one sign, and their
inclinations are focused in the previous sign. Compare such a planet to a retreating soldier who is firing
in his front, but stepping backward to his previous bunker for safety. In such a situation, we propose to
use both signs - sign of placement and previous sign. Take Agrachara / Anuchara bhavas from previous sign,
but keep the order of forward and backward count applicable to sign of placement of retrograde plane.
To explain the thought, an illustration chart is given.

Dhanu is Lagna and its lord Jupiter, as retrograde, is placed in Mithun, which is Pitree. It's body is
placed in 7th bhava, while it's inclinations are towards 6th bhava. Take Agrachara and Anuchara from
Vrishabha, but count will be forward, as Pitree is an odd sign. If it is male chart, Anuchara is Mithuna,
follower of Vrishabha. If it is female chart, Agrachara is Mesha, predecessor of Vrishabha. Let us
prepare chart of Agrachara and Anuchara signs, for odd and even Pitree Lagna signs having retrograde
planet.

Having fixed the procedure for locating Anuchara/Agrachara signs, we might face another problem in
locating Aroodha for Anuchara/Agrachara signs, if their lords are retrograde. We propose to locate
Aroodha as usual, but reduce one sign from such Aroodha to reach Upapada.

Pitree Vrishchika. Lagna lord Retrograde. As per Retrograde chart, Agrachara is Vrishchika. Upapada
being Meena. Ketu aspects Jupiter. Upapada Lord being Uccha, showing multiple marriages. She
became widow early in life.
It is likely that, there might be cases which do not respond to Upapada and Ketu combination. We
remember a Chandrakaka Nadi dictum "based on Parashara Principles' that, a male who has Jupiter in
the 3rd house, will make his in-laws (from where he gets wife) prosperous {7th is spouse or wife, 9th
from 7th is 3rd his in-laws (Wife's father)}. Another dictum - aspect or conjunction of Rahu + Saturn on
3rd house, or its lord, destroys chances of marriage. If the marriage does occur then such
aspect/conjunction, destroys the marriage.
So far we have demonstrated the effects of ketu on Upapada. Over the centuries astrological scholars
were unable to crack Upapada, and thus discarded it, as useless, having no practical value.
It is surprising - even 'Chandra Kala Naadi' which uses every tool of prediction, prescribed by Shri
Parashara has not made a mention of Upapada even once. This may be due to the way Upapada had
been defined under Parashara system, in their times, did not match with realities of Life. Therefore,
they dropped Upapada in their Nadi.
We have presented before astrological community interpretation of Upapada as defined by Shri Jaimini
and its utility. Still more work, is needed on this topic. Some one will do that in future.
We would request the parents that apart from traditional method of horoscopic matching, they should
also study Upapada of 'WOULD-BE' (Groom/bride) before taking final decision.
We are of the opinion that, each Jaimini Sutra is a topic in itself. Perhaps nobody knows that simple
looking first Sutra of Jaimini %pdez< VyaOyaSyam>, contains full profile of Jaimini Jataka Shastra having
581 sutras spread over 3 chapters each divided into 4 sections each. We propose to write on it, some day.
Lastly would like to thank Shri K. Bhushan, one of the senior most student of this shastra in this
country & always a great inspiration to me and others, with whom this particular discussion on
Upapada & Pitree dates back to 11 years back & without whose support this article would not have been
written.

Thy Notes – 2
By
Saptarishis Astrology
Bhrighu Chakra Paddathi (BCP) & Prashna
Our office accountant came and said there is a problem, we instantly did question. Noticed
that Moon is in the 6H so there is a health issue, the Hora Lord was also Moon and Kaala
Lord is Saturn sitting in the 10H of father. The dispositor of this moon is also with
debilitated Sun (karaka father) the 9L of father & also 10L Mercury. So both ways 9H or 10H
of father are afflicted. He said it is heart problem of father so we saw the 4H in the chart and
also the 4L from 9H or 10H. This 4L from 9H is Mars sitting with Ketu indicating operation
and in the 8H of longevity, so the conclusion was it’s a serious question re the longevity of
the father. He said he has been admitted to the Govt hospital in Kerala and he does not want
to shift to private as they would charge a lot. So our attention while he was talking went to
Lagna Lord Jupiter sitting in the 2H of money. So the issue was about money, where lagna
lord sits the issue is seen is a dictum that many a times comes true. The dictum of where Moon is
in the prashna chart does not always come true and there is more to it. The Key is at times to look
in the Navamsa chart too and here in the Navamsa chart Moon is in the 8H with Ketu so
the question is about longevity. Unfortunately Moon in one of the most important
divisionals is with Saturn who is the 8L of death there and in the 4H of one’s home. So
death or a chronic disease to an old man (Saturn) can come in ones house.
Now Saturn has to play a very important role and in Rasi chart it is in the 10H and in Bhava
Chalit Chart it has gone into the 9H of father. Saturn means Peeda karaka (troubles
significator), always look at it in a prashna chart, don’t ignore it at all. Saturn in a Prashna
Chart signifies the Karma that is pending. It is gone in the Bhava Chalit Chart in the 9H of
father, in the sign of Leo whose lord Sun is the karaka of father and the boy needs to rush to
his native place and be next to father.

BCP
H ow do you use BCP to double check what is happening and where is the remedy.
We asked him what is the age of his father currently and he said 64 years. Now
deduct from age multiples of 12 (refer Vol 3 issue for articles on BCP). So deduct
60 from 64 which is the 4H of heart and he had to query relating to heart condition of his
father. The 4H has A8 (longevity) A6 (diseases) and HL (money) in it. Its lord Jupiter is
with Rahu in the 2H of family and money. The issue is of the heart of the father or you can
take it this way since 9H is father, 8th from it which is the 4H is the issue, which is the
longevity of the father (4H). Do u see now with BCP methods one can double check the
prashna.
You will notice that there is some logical issue here since 1H is self the querent and the 64th
year is not of his but of his father, yet it has been observed that by some strange coincidence
it does work at times and gives us clues.
Actual BCP Method

One is seeing from Prashna about father so see 9H is father, its 64th year would be 4th from
9th house which is the 12H, it has Gulika Mandi so there will be problem to father in the 64th
yar, now its lord is Mars (operation) with Ketu (scissors) in the 8H of longevity (question
for client) but in 12th (hospitals) from 9H of father in the sign of Cancer (heart-4H of natural
zodiac) it is aspected by Jupiter, so Jupiter will give the remedy as it is also 6H (health) from
9H of father. All this is matching and within an hour from this write up we would come to
know if operation is really needed or not. The remedy lies in the recitation of mantra of
Jupiter as it is in the 2H of the chart.
As predicted to the accountant his father did go to hospital, money was an issue so they
operated in a Govt hospital instead of private hospital and he has now come out of the
hospital (Jupiter’s aspect) with the bi-pass operation which went well. Probably in the next
issue will try to reveal some more methods of usage of BCP which since a year we have
ignored.

Sahams
When predicting with Varshaphal and Tajika in general, Sahams play an extremely
profound role. Sahams must always be assessed in every Varshaphal or the astrologer would
most certainly miss something important during the year. There are many Sahams and of
course, it is impossible for each one to give
their effects during every year. For a Saham
lord to give its effects, the planet must be For a Saham lord to give its effects, the
endowed with strength by either having a planet must be endowed with strength by

to these factors; the more able it is to give its Drekkana, Hora or Navamsa.
effects.
After determining childbirth is a major focus of the year through the methods mentioned
previously with regard to the Muntha, Muntha lord, Year lord, Sun, etc., then it is important
to consider the Sahams pertaining to childbirth. They are the Prasava (Delivery of Child)
Saham and the Putra (Progeny) Saham. To determine if the Saham is activated, assess the
following factors:
• The Saham is conjoined the Year Lord
• The Saham is in the Muntha
• The Saham lord aspects the Ascendant or the Ascendant lord and is related to the 5th
house lord or 9th house lord, or the Saham is in the 5th or 9th house. This is only in the
Varshaphal chart.
Timing – Method 1
To time the event of childbirth, there are two methods.

a) Using the Patyayini Dasa, you determine the planet that will give the event by
strength (pancha vargiya bala) and lordship of relevant houses.
b) Look at the Tajika Yogas formed by this planet. When it forms a Tajika yoga with the
Ascendant Lord, Year Lord, Muntha Lord or Ascendant, then the event will take place
in its dasa or antardasa.
c) To determine whether it will be the dasa or antardasa of the planet, you must first
determine the type of Tajika yoga it is forming.
877
d) If it is an applying Tajika yoga, then the event will take place in the planet’s dasa that
comes first within the dasa sequence. The antardasa will be that of the aspecting
planet.
e) If the Tajika yoga is a separating yoga, then of the two planets, the event will take
place in the planet’s dasa that comes second in the dasa sequence and the antardasa of
the other aspecting planet.
Timing -Method 2
This method seems to give the event more often than Method 1.
a) Find the Saham in the Varshaphala chart and determine its Shastiamsa (D-60) sign.
b) Using Mudda Dasa and using the Shastiamsa, the event will happen in the dasa of
either the lord of this sign, the ruler of the lord of the Shastiamsa Sign, or the lord of
the 5th house from this Shastiamsa sign.
c) To determine which of these planets will give the event in its dasa, you must take the
strongest by dignity utilizing Parasara principles.

the D 60 and some charts might not match what other free softwares display.
878
Ascendant in Natal Chart is Cancer
Muntha: Capricorn
Year Lord: Mercury
Muntha Lord: Saturn
There is a focus on childbirth due to the year lord being in the 9th
house and the 9th lord. The Sun is also in the 9th house. Mercury is
imbued with very high Pancha Vargiya Bala at 14.038. The Muntha
is Capricorn which falls in the 7th house in the Rasi. Shiloh was
born just a few days before Angelina’s next birthday so she was
conceived within this year, so 7th house indications would be
revealed and are correct. Now that we have established that this
chart holds the possibility of children, let’s go further.
The Prasava or Delivery of a Child Saham falls at 13:19 Pisces. The Putra or Progeny Saham
falls at 18:43 Aries. The Lagna is being aspected by Jupiter to 40.9 points out of a possible 60.
Anything over 40 is a strong aspect. Therefore, we can see that the Prasava Saham will be
activated. Not only is it aspecting, it is within the Ascendant which gives Jupiter, the
Saham lord, extra power.
The Shastiamsa of the Prasava Saham occupies Taurus. For timing of childbirth, we have
three possibilities. Taurus is ruled by Venus, so Venus dasa could bring the birth. The ruler
of Venus, the Moon, could also bring the birth. Mercury, as the ruler of Virgo, the 5th house
from Taurus, could bring the birth. As it was, Shiloh was born in Venus/Ketu
dasa/antardasa of the Mudda Dasa. Venus is in neutral dignity and also rules over the
Moon and Mercury in this case, so Venus has quite a lot of say in bringing the baby into this
world.
Case 2: July 19, 1951 in Glendale, California at 20:33. First born child came into this world on
April 2, 1972
879
Native, Age 20 Varshaphala and Shastiamsa.
Ascendant in Natal Chart is Aquarius

Muntha is Libra
Year Lord is Saturn
Muntha Lord is Venus
The year lord, Saturn, occupies the 5th house in the Natal chart and the Muntha occupies the
9th house in the Natal Chart. The Sun rules the 9th house. Also, here again, there is a heavy
emphasis on the 7th house. Her son was born within 2 weeks of exactly nine months of her
birthday so it very well could have been that he was conceived in this year with Saturn the
year lord being in the 7th house and with strength at 11.831 of Pancha Vargiya Bala. Three
factors point toward children being a focus of the year.
The Saham of Progeny is at 6:53 of Gemini conjoined the Year Lord. Its Shastiamsa is
Cancer. In the Mudda dasa, her son was born in Moon Dasa which lasted between March
9th and April 9th.
Case 3: March 2, 1969 in Lakeland, Florida at 06:38. Child was born September 21, 1990.
Native, Age 21 Varshaphala and Shastiamsa.
880
Natal Ascendant is Pisces
Muntha is Sagittarius
Year Lord is Sun
Muntha Lord is Jupiter.
In this chart, the Muntha falls in the 9th house. The Muntha Lord falls in the 5th house in
the Natal Chart and the Year Lord, which is also the Sun, rules the 5th house. So, clearly,
children are a possibility. The Saham for Delivery of a Child falls in Leo and its lord, the
Sun, is the Year Lord. The Sun aspects the Lagna within orb. The Progeny or Putra Saham
falls is in Cancer at 00:41, directly on top of the Muntha lord, Jupiter. However, it is the
Delivery of a Child Saham that will give the birth. The child was born during
Mercury/Mercury dasa/antardasa. The Shastiamsa of the Prasava Saham is Virgo. The
possible candidates for the dasa lord in Mudda dasa were Mercury, Saturn and Venus.
Mercury rules over Virgo and consequently Saturn and is in a great friend’s sign. Venus
rules over the Saham lord, Mercury, and is in enemy’s dignity. Therefore, it is only natural
that the Mercury dasa would give the birth.
One can utilize these methods not only for childbirth, but also for marriage, falling in
love, increased wealth and promotion in career. All that is needed is to substitute the 5th, 7th
and 9th houses with the relevant houses regarding these subjects and then manifestation and
timing of manifestation can be predicted.

O n 4TH April, 2009, I received a

phone call from a lady, who was
weeping while talking to me and
said that her husband had met with an
accident, received head
882
injury and is now admitted in a Hospital at Chandigarh. He is lying in a subconscious state
and attending doctors say that his life is at risk and they will have to perform an operation of
his brain. But she trusted me and asked for some remedy, if I can recommend something for
avoiding this operation and to protect his life.
On that day, I advised her to do some charity at temple. Next day, she came to me early in
morning asking for remedial measures. After reading planetary influences and also his palm
lines, as his hand prints were already with me in my computer, I advised her to donate or
take ½ kg, Barley grains and approximately same quantity of Jaggery (gur – a sweet
product made from sugar cane juice) in the evening time within two hours after Sun set to
some religious place, and advised her to repeat it for three days continuously at the advised
time and stop after that, because it is very clearly mentioned in LAL KITAB, as for any
turmoil in brain or brain fever, Rahu is mainly affecting planet, just like molten LAVA
beneath earth layers, so with the help of this remedy, ill effects of planet Rahu can be totally
controlled, and may be helpful in treating such cases. In this case, according to the hand lines
or horoscope of native, rahu was the main affecting planet to the brain but longevity of the
native was not hampered.
She started performing the advised remedy from the same day evening and on the third day
evening time, when she last visited the temple and returned back, native started giving some
response and after a weeks time, he was discharged from Hospital and got cured without any
operation.
I understand that when there is only ill health indicated, it can be cured by performing very
simple remedies.
Birth Chart and Annual Chart according to LAL KITAB are given below:
Similarly, you can also have a look on the Palm Lines of native in attached image:
883
In the annual birth chart, we can very clearly see that Sun and Rahu are again in 8th house,
which is supposed to be the big loss causing return of planet rahu over Sun as per natal chart.
From, palm lines of native, you can very clearly see the points, which I have marked both in
Left and Right hands, most adversity is shown in Left Hand, influences of which can be
cured with the help of remedies, where as in the right hand, there are signs of longevity,
protection and life line is uninterrupted except head line, which wears an island on it (4),
which will affect natives brain power for some time.
Above quoted example shows that:

Curing Ill Influences Of Planet Through Habits Of Native:
E very individual when observed closely indicates the dominating planet by choice of
color in general use, his character, behavior with relatives, his personal behavior and
eating habits etc. The native will not be in the habit of using items related to the
dominating planet in excess, where as on the contrary, if any planet is very weak, he will be
used to make use of items in excess, related to that planet. For example, if the Sun is the
dominating planet, the native will avoid excess use of common salt and will not like to eat salty
preparations. Similarly, if the Mars is weak,
if the Sun is weak, excess intake of common the native will be used to eat sweet
salt should be avoided, one should correct his preparations in excess. However, if the Mars

ancestors and pay respect to his parents, must
do charity and refrain from accepting In similar manner choice of colors
donations or charity. influences up to a great extent, so there is a
great stress paid on use of or to avoid some
colors according to planetary placement in
birth chart or according to palm lines in the hand of native.
Human behavior of a person in worldly matters, and with his fellow beings or relatives is
also under the influence of dominating or adverse affecting planets. So, it is also advised in
Lal Kitab, repeatedly not to behave against the fixed norms for planetary behavior, according
to their placement in Birth Chart.
If any one want to correct or ward off ill influences of negative planets, it is a must for him
to refrain from intake of items e.g. if the Sun is weak, excess intake of common salt should be
avoided, one should correct his nature by controlling his temper, he must follow old traditions laid
down by our ancestors and pay respect to his parents, must do charity and refrain from accepting
donations or charity.
So, first of all, more stress should be paid to correct those habits, which generally destroy
good effects of planets on native, which are generally indicated, while interpreting a Birth
Chart according to Lal Kitab, which I will like to say as Lal Kitab Warnings, which should
not be ignored, before advising any Lal Kitab remedy.
886
Few examples from Lal Kitab:
Example: 01
Sun in 11th house:
Sun in the 11th house is quoted as fully religious minded, but selfish with luxurious life. If
native is a vegetarian and religious, will be a man of power and authority, and live a long,
happy life.
But it is also quoted in the same chapter:
Zubaan Teri Gost Ka Khaana Jo Maangey

Likhey Khud Lawalidy Vidhaat Kalam se.
If a person, in whose Horoscope, the Sun is placed in 11th house and is a meat eater, will be like eating
boiled flesh of one’s own kith and kin and will remain issueless up to the age of 40 years and at the
end, he will lose his male child).
This is a warning to a person born with the Sun placed in 11th house of Horoscope, which is
very clearly mentioned in Lal Kitab, which I have found and observed many times come
true. Logic behind this is explained in a unique way in Lal Kitab, as Saturn is the real
significator of 11th house (own house of Saturn) but Jupiter also exercises its powerful
influence here (fixed house of Jupiter).The 11th house is treated as Court of Jupiter, where
Saturn takes an oath to decide all matters in a judicious manner.
In this case, the Sun is expected to be fully religious, but when native behaves against the
expected planetary behavior, by indulging in bad vices represented by Saturn, i.e. eating
meat etc, Saturn will write a decree for his father, the Sun. In Lal Kitab, there are mentioned
Baits of Sacrifice for every planet which means that a real planet spoils the effects of other planet
instead of its own, in this case the Sun will take benefit of this and push forward Ketu to be
punished or in other words, ill effects of Sun will be transferred to Ketu. This is the main
reason for trouble to ones male child which is represented by Ketu. So, before performing
any remedy for this planet, it is must for a person with Sun in 11th house to refrain from use
of meat etc.
Example: 02
Sun in 10th house:
Placement of the Sun in 10th house of horoscope, it is advised to native that he should not
wear dark blue and black color clothes and avoid moving bareheaded. White and wheatish
color turban or cap will give auspicious results. Source of light in western wall of his house will
give adverse effects. He should avoid stay for long time with his in-laws and keep good
relations with them. Hot tempered nature will spoil him.
Why all this is quoted in this house alone?
887
Reason for this can be very well explained in the light of Lal Kitab. As 10th house of
horoscope is the own house of Saturn, when Sun comes to the house of Saturn, it will make
Sun a weak planet. So, to protect Sun, first of all, remedies are done through colors of
malefic planets, i.e. Saturn & Rahu, the native is advised to wear white clothes instead of
Black And Blue colored clothes and keep head covered with white cloth. Secondly, to correct
Rahu, help through behavior with relatives of Rahu is advised. Next, native is advised to
control his temper and reduce the use of common salt (salty items), which are representing
items of the Sun.
If native follows above guidelines in his life, when the Sun is placed in 10th house, he will be
a successful person. There are more remedies, which may be performed in addition to
changes as quoted above, but these changes will give him a great relief.
Example: 03
Venus In 10TH House:
According to Lal Kitab, native with Venus in 10th house of horoscope gets very many
occasions for indulging with other women, but there is a warning “will be deprived of children
and there will be no conception for a period of 12 years from the day of sex with other women”, where
as on the other hand, it is also quoted if such person maintains good character, Venus will give good
results and will live a luxurious life. This is a clear example of behavior (karma) of native,
which spoils or improves the results of the concerned planet, by obeying guidelines given in
Lal Kitab, in relation with planetary behavior.
There is a great number of such remedies, which are quoted in Lal Kitab in connection by linking every
planet with every house of horoscope and also by paying attention towards ill influences of other
planets on concerned planet, which are very much logical in their explanation, when someone tries or
makes an effort to understand these remedies. Every remedy works effectively when performed strictly
according to Lal Kitab direction.
As every body part is linked to some planet, so there are a number of remedies
which can be performed through the concerned body part:
In Lal Kitab, relationship of Planets with various body parts of human beings is very well
explained; e.g.: (Nine planets as quoted on face in Lal Kitab) ________
Jupiter _________________: Nose and forehead

Sun______________________: Right eye ball
Moon ___________________: Left eye ball
Venus ___________________: Cheeks
Mars +Ve________________: Upper Lip
Mars –Ve________________: Lower Lip
Mercury________________: Teeth and frontal part and tip of nose
Saturn__________________: Hairs of eye brows and eye lashes specially
Rahu ____________________: Chin
Ketu_____________________: Ear
888
Similarly, every part is representing some planet, and there are a number of remedial
measures quoted to ward of ill influences of different planets, as an when required by linking
that remedy with concerned planet and house of horoscope with that body part, which prove
very effective in giving curative results, few examples of which are quoted below:
1. Application of Saffron or Turmeric Tilak (Dot) in central part between eye brows on
forehead (to improve the position of Jupiter, when it is ill affected by Mercury or
Rahu or when Jupiter is giving negative results due to it’s weak placement).
2. Cleaning of nose early in morning with water and keep nose dry (a remedy for
Jupiter).
3. Cleansing teeth every morning with fresh water immediately after getting out of bed
(a remedy for Mars –Venus, through by curing Mercury).
4. Use of Alum (an item of Mercury planet) for cleaning teeth for 43 days is
recommended (to correct ill influences of planet Mercury).
5. Piercing of nose is recommended (a remedy of Mercury).
6. Piercing of Ears is recommended (a remedy of Ketu).
7. Tie up pure white silk thread on both toes of feet (a remedy of Ketu).
8. Let the rain water pour onto summit of head of the native, because it is written in a
symbolic way i.e. Brahaman di bodi minh mangdi, which suggests for a remedy of moon
to ward of ill influences of Jupiter’s placement in 7th house of horoscope.
And there are many more remedies quoted in a similar way, having a link with body parts,
which when performed according to Lal Kitab directions, works wonderfully and results are
astonishing.
So, from this, it is evident that it is also of much importance to be careful in knowing the link of
planets with body parts and adopt concerned remedial measure in the same way as per laid down
guidelines in Lal Kitab.
Effects of plants / animals/ pets/ main entrance of residential place/ metals and utensils
used in daily routine life of a person are also to be studied accordingly to select a proper and
permanent cure for ill influences of weak planets. In the similar way, native’s behavior with
his relatives linked with various planets is also supposed to be maintained accordingly as per
Lal Kitab guidelines.
There are so many other warnings related with our daily routine work, which are also
helpful to common man for smooth sailing of life of a person:
When the general remedy is of no use, the under noted remedies will be helpful within a
time of hours:
1. Mars Negative: Sugar and sesame combined balls (rewaries) to be thrown in

running water.
2. Jupiter: Application of Saffron on forehead, tongue, umbilical point is
recommended.
3. Sun: Put Jaggery (gur – an sweet product made from sugar cane juice) in running
water.
4. Moon: Place milk or water in a pot towards head side of bed during night time and
put it in Keekar (Acacia tree) in the morning time.
889
5. Saturn: Donate Mustard Oil after looking in it, the shadow of your face should be
seen in that mustard oil and then it is to be donated. (Chhaya Paattar Daan).
6. Venus: Donate Cow or Millet (Jowar / Churry).
7. Mars Positive: Give sweets or sweet meals in charity or flow Jaggery in running
water.
8. Mercury: Punch (make a hole) a copper coin and flow it in running waters.
9. Rahu: Donate white color radish with leaves or flow wooden charcoal in flowing
waters.
10. Ketu: Serve dogs with bread from your food.

There are so many helpful remedies quoted in Lal Kitab, but always keep in your mind, the
first line of Lal Kitab i.e.

his hand prints were not available for Astro Palmistrical readings, but still I am giving his
birth chart and annual chart with available details of his last days because it is quoted in Lal

Lal Kitab clearly points out to the astrologer to consider the longevity of native first and if
he finds some adversity therein, it is the moral duty of astrologer not to disclose this time
(time of death) before hand, because this may put the concerned person in a state of worry,
because there may be some error while doing calculations, because it is also quoted in Lal
Kitab in its very beginning i.e.
Duniyavi hissaab kitaab hai

(these are worldy calculations)
koyee daawaa e khudai nahin
(not a final verdict of almighty)
So, it is a request to all and specially to learned astrologers, who understand this system of prediction
to be careful while selecting and recommending any remedy by considering permanent effects (planet
effect) and curable effects (rashi phal effects) i.e. From right hand and from left hand readings
respectively and follow laid down rules according to Lal Kitab.
Khush raho aabad dunya,

maal o jaan badhte raho
Madad malik apni dega,
neki khud karte raho……
These lines are from Lal Kitab, as blessings to all from our respected Pandit Rup Chand Joshi Ji
(writer of Lal Kitab) and also an advice to do good always.

Dharak & Dharakansha
Horoscope
By
Paresh Desai, India
W e have come across many such

situations where in spite of
giving prediction
considering all the principles of Phalit
after
Jyotish, our predictions have gone wrong.

One of our great Jyotishacharyas of yester
years Varaha Mihir has given us the
principle that “a native will get good and
favourable fruits of the house whose lord is
strong and powerful in the birth horoscope
provided that it is also strong in the
Navamansha horoscope”. This has been

there are few instances where this principle
has pursued deep study of astrology since has not been proved correct. My Guruji

where ‘Only Sarvatobhadra Chakra’ is used of all the principles of Phalit Jyotish he had

the illustrious legendary celebrity astrologer went to his Guruji for the explanation and
of Bombay, Shri Ravindra Desai who had solutions. His Guruji also thought about

25 years and then developed his own system told my Guruji that he had taught him all

Desai to reveal some rare secrets in this space nothing more to offer.
in the coming years. My Guruji kept on thinking about it
and one day, he suddenly thought of Tarak.
Our jyotishacharyas have described about
Tarak in their literature. My Guruji
prepared a table of Tarak and put all the
planets in the nakshatra under Tarak in
which they were situated at the time of
birth respectively. He found out that a
planet which came under favourable Tarak
gave favourable fruits but a planet which
came under unfavourable Tarak did not give
good or favourable fruits even though it was
1
893
strong in birth horoscope as well as in Navamansha horoscope as per the principle
of Varaha Mihir. He studied many charts in this way and found out that a planet which is
strong in the birth horoscope and also in the Navamansha horoscope has to be strong or
favourable in Tarak also. Then and then only it was capable of giving favourable or good
fruits of that house. He verified this in many horoscopes or charts and came out with the
modified principle that “a planet which is strong and favourable in birth horoscope and also in
Navamansha kundali gives favourable and strong fruits of the house of its lordship only if it is present
under good or favourable Tarak”.
T o understand this properly, we must first understand the concept of Tarak given by
our learned Rishi-Munis. They studied the effects of different nakshatras on planets
starting from the nakshatra of Moon. Why nakshatra of Moon? In Indian Vedic
Astrology, whenever a planet is giving fruits of its house, Moon plays very important role.
Moon is considered as our mind in astrology and it is through our mind that we feel
happiness or unhappiness, joy or sorrow. All the emotions and feelings are because of mind.
Moon is also very close to earth and whenever a planet is going to give fruits, it transfers its fruits to
Moon and Moon transfers them to the native and this way native gets Shubha or Ashubha fruits as
per the transit of planets. So Chandra Rashi Kundali (Moon Rashi horoscope) is used for
Gochar prediction in our Nirayan system of Indian Vedic Astrology.
Our learned Rishi-Munis observed the effects of various constellations on planets as
per its distance from the constellation of Moon. They studied the effect of nakshatra on
planets in giving fruits when it is in the same constellation as that of Moon. Then the effect
of second constellation from Moon was studied and so on. In this way they studied the
effects of all 27 Nakshatras on planet’s behavior in giving fruits and they found out that
there were nine types of effects as per the distance of specific nakshatra from the
constellation of Moon. Considering the nakshatra of Moon as the first Nakshatra, the effects
up to nine nakshatras were different and same effects were repeated from 10th Nakshatra to
18th Nakshatra and from 19th Nakshatra to 27th Nakshatra. This way nine groups of
nakshatras were formed each having three nakshatras. These groups were given the name of
Tarak. Each Tarak was given a name as per its effect on planets. The names they gave were
in serial order
1 Janma 2 Sampad 3 Vipad

4 Kshema 5 Pratyari 6 Sadhak
7 Naithan 8 Mitra 9 Adhimitra
As we know there are 27 Nakshatras or constellations. Our learned Rishi-Munis

considered the nakshatra of Moon as the first nakshatra and placed this nakshatra below
Janma Tarak. Then second nakshatra from moon was placed in second Tarak i.e. Sampad
Tarak. This way they placed nine Nakshatras under nine Taraks in serial order. The 10th
Nakshatra was again placed under Janma Tarak and next nine nakshatras were put under
nine Taraks respectively in serial order in second row. Again 19th nakshatra was placed under
Janma Tarak and remaining nakshatras were placed under respective Tarak in 3rd row. In
this way three rows of nine nakshatras were formed under taraks. Each Tarak contained
three constellations. So Tarak is nothing but the group of nakshatras. The nakshatra of
moon is considered as the first nakshatra. So Janma Tarak will contain 1st, 10th and 19th
2
894
nakshatra from Moon’s nakshatra, Sampad Tarak will contain 2nd,11th and 20th nakshatra
from Moon’s nakshatra and so on. If we see this in tabular form it will be as follows.
Sr. Tarak Serial Number of Nakshatra

No. from Moon
1 Janma 1 (Nakshatra 10 19
of Moon)
2 Sampad 2 11 20
3 Vipad 3 12 21
4 Kshema 4 13 22
5 Pratyari 5 14 23
6 Sadhak 6 15 24
7 Vadha 7 16 25
8 Maitra 8 17 26
9 Adhimitra 9 18 27
The effect of each Tarak on planets in short is as follows:
1. Janma Tarak: Fruits obtained as per the strength of the planet in birth horoscope.
2. Sampad Tarak: More than expected fruits are obtained.
3. Vipad Tarak: Fruits with worries and obstacles in the beginning.
4. Kshema Tarak: Fruits for family and enjoyed with family members.
5. Pratyari Tarak: Fruits with hopes and despair or hopelessness.
6. Sadhak Tarak: Fruits with constant efforts.
7. Naithan (Vadh) Tarak: Destruction of fruits at the last moment.

8. Maitra Tarak: Fruits with the help of friends or recent acquaintance
9. Adhimitra Tarak: Fruits obtained with the help of family members or very close
friends.
My Guruji changed the word “Naithan” to “Vadha” (Sudden end – slaughter) as it is

more appropriate.
As the planets were imbibing the effects of Tarak under which they came, my Guruji
changed the word Tarak to Dharak as the meaning of Dharak is to wear or to take the effect
of some thing else. E.g. when a car is painted red, we say it is a red car, when it is painted
yellow, we say it is a yellow car. Similarly a planet coming under a particular Tarak takes
the effects of that Tarak. So we can say that it has taken the effect of that Dharak and will
give fruits as per the characteristics of that Dharak.
Characteristics of Dharak
1. Janma: This is the first Dharak. The Nakshatra of Moon is placed under this Dharak. 10th
and 19th Nakshatra from Moon also come under this Dharak.
a) Its meaning is taken as “As It Is” i.e. a planet coming under this Dharak gives fruits or
results of its house as per its strength or weakness in the birth horoscope.
3
895
b) If it is strong and powerful in the birth horoscope and is equally strong and powerful
in Navmansh kundali, then it gives good and favourable fruits of the house of its
lordship.
c) The fruits are obtained easily and also last for a long time.
d) If it is weak in the birth horoscope and also in Navmansh kundali, then it gives weak
fruits or unfavourable fruits of the house it represents.
e) If it is strong in birth horoscope and weak in Navmansh kundali or vice versa, it gives
mixed fruits. A strong planet gives good fruits and a weak planet gives poor results of
the house it represents if it comes under Janma Dharak.
2. Sampad: This is the second Dharak. 2nd, 11th and 20th Nakshatra from Moon comes under
this Dharak in three rows respectively.
a) In Sanshodhanatmak Sarvatobhadra chakra, the meaning of Sampad is taken as “More
Than Expected.” It also means extra or additional or more or excessive.
b) That means a planet coming under this Dharak gives fruits of its house of lordship in
excess or more than what a native was expecting. Sampad Dharak makes the planet
coming under it to give more fruits of its house.
c) Suppose a person is doing some consultation and expects to earn Rs.5000/- as his fees
but his client would be very happy with his consultation and gives him Rs.7000/-
which is more than what he had expected for. So a planet coming under this Dharak
gives more fruits than its capacity or its strength in the birth horoscope.
d) Similarly if malefic planets are giving worries or unfavourable fruits than the native
will get more worries than what he had expected for.
3. Vipad: This is the 3rd Dharak and 3rd, 12th and 21st Nakshatra from Moon comes under this
Dharak.
a) Vipad means Obstacles or Worries.
b) These obstacles and worries are found in the initial phase of the deeds. These worries
and obstacles get over as the deeds progresses.
c) A planet coming under this Dharak always gives worries and obstacles while giving
the fruits of the house it governs. As the native continues his work, these obstacles
and worries start getting removed and the deeds get completed eventually.
d) But there is no charm at the end of the work as the native has to pass through lot of
difficulties and worries even for executing a simple work. E.g. a person wants to buy a
car of particular model and colour. He goes to the showroom of that car and books his
car. He is promised the delivery of the car after 7 days. He goes to the showroom for
delivery but his car has not reached the showroom. So he is told to come after another
7 days. He again goes after 7 days to find out that the car of his choice of colour is not
there. He is not interested in other colour so he is promised delivery of the car of his
choice of colour after another 7 days. After 7 days he gets the car of his choice but
there is no happiness or charm of obtaining the car of his choice as it has come after so
many obstacles and frequent visits to the showroom.
e) So a planet under vipad Dharak does give fruits of the house it governs but after
obstacles and hardship in the beginning.
4. Kshema: This is the fourth Dharak and 4th, 13th and 22nd Nakshatras from the Nakshatra of
Moon come under this Dharak.
4
896
a) The meaning of Kshema is “Easily Obtained And Enjoying Fruits With Whole Family”. It
also means that whatever fruits native gets, he shares them with his family members
and enjoys with them.
b) Whenever there is worries about the fruits of the house, he dose not share his worries
with his family members but keeps it to him.
c) Thus a planet coming under this Dharak gives fruits of the house it governs easily,
without worries and as per expectation and are enjoyed by whole family.
d) We can take two meanings of this Dharak. 1. Fruits are obtained easily, without many
efforts and 2. They are enjoyed with whole family.
e) Native will not use the fruits for self only but will distribute them to all family
members and relatives who are in his contact.
f) As there are always two sides of a coin, here also fruits obtained are of two types.
When benefic planets are giving fruits, they are obtained easily and enjoyed by the
family but when fruits are obtained by malefic planets, i.e. when unfavourable fruits
are obtained and there are worries and less fruits in spite of hard work, native does not
like to pass on his unhappiness or worries to his family members. He would try to
keep his worries and unhappiness or failures to himself.
g) We can take an example of a person doing a job. He will earn his salary every month
and give money to his family. Whatever he earns, he uses for the happiness of his
family. But when he loses his job, he gets worried but does not tell his family about it.
He does not want his family to worry about it and be unhappy. But his family would
come to know about this in due course and every one in the family will be sad and
unhappy.
h) But this is a good dharak, so whenever the unfavourable transit of planets is over, the
person will get another job and every one in the family will be happy. So this dharak
involves his family in both favourable and unfavourable situations.
5. Pratyari: This is the 5th Dharak and 5th, 14th and 23rd Nakshatras from the nakshatra of
Moon occupy this Dharak.
a) The meaning of the word Pratyari is “Nirasha” i.e. “Despair’’.
b) The planet coming under this dharak gives fruits of the house it governs in such a way
that the situation is very hopeful to start with and the native is confident that he will
get the fruits soon but suddenly the situation changes and it becomes hopeless. Native
looses confidence of getting fruits and becomes disappointed.
c) But this situation does not remain for long and as the transit becomes favourable, he
again becomes hopeful of getting fruits. This way, the planet coming under this
Dharak gives fruits of its house always with hopes and despair.
6. Sadhak: This is the 6th Dharak and 6th, 15th and 24th Nakshatra from the nakshatra of
Moon come under this Dharak.
a) The meaning of Sadhak is “Sadhana or Intense Efforts”.
b) The fruits of the house are not obtained without making efforts if the lord of that
house is placed under this dharak. It makes the native continuously work or keep on
making efforts to obtain the fruits of the house.
c) If a person makes efforts to achieve some level and achieves it and stops making
efforts thinking that the level will be maintained without much effort, he finds it
difficult to maintain that level.
5
897
d) That means that the native has to be constantly active to keep on getting the fruits of
the house if the lord of that house is placed under this dharak.
e) If native stops working, the fruits also stop coming in.
7. Vadha: This is the 7th Dharak and 7th, 16th and 25th Nakshatra from the nakshatra of Moon
comes under this Dhark.
a) The literal meaning of Vadha is Slaughter. It means Premature and Sudden Death.
b) Here its meaning is taken as sudden and premature loss of the fruits of the house if
the lord of that house comes under this dharak.
c) This dharak is not considered as a good dharak.
d) There is sudden loss of the fruits of the work which is near completion. Native is
confident of getting the fruit of the work he is doing but suddenly something
untoward happens and picture changes suddenly and everything is lost.
e) The fruits of the work which native was about to get are suddenly lost and the native
does not understand what went wrong.
f) If the planet coming under this Dharak is strong and powerful then it gives the fruits
of the house during benefic rotation, then suddenly the fruits are stopped from coming
in but after some time when the rotation of benefic planets start, he starts getting the
fruits of that house again.
g) That means there are many ups and downs in getting fruits of that house.
8. Maitra: This is the 8th Dharak and 8th, 17th and 26th Nakshatra from the Nakshatra of
Moon comes under this Dharak.
a) Maitra means Friend or Some Person With Recent Acquaintance.
b) The planet coming under this dharak gives fruits of its house with the help of a friend
or some other person.
c) That means some person, a recent friend or an acquaintance becomes instrumental in
getting the fruits of that house. If the native works himself, he may find some delays
or obstacles or may not be able to do it satisfactorily but if he asks someone to do his
work, then the work will be done nicely and satisfactorily. So someone becomes
instrumental in getting the fruits of that house.
d) During benefic rotation of planets, native gets good fruits with the help of others but
during malefic rotation of planets, native gets worries and may not get the desired
fruits. E.g. a person wants to buy a railway ticket. If he goes himself to railway station
or booking office, he would find a big queue. He may have to stand for a long time
and waste his time but if he contacts some railway booking agent on phone, he will
get the ticket without standing in long queue and without wasting his time and ticket
will be delivered at his door step.
e) It is also observed that when a planet under this Dharak it becomes capable in giving
fruits and if there is no one at that time to help the native, he may not get those fruits.
9. Adhimitra: This is the 9th Dharak and 9th, 18th and 27th Nakshatra from the Nakshatra of
Moon comes under this Dharak.
a) Adhimitra means Family Members or Very Close Friend or Someone Very Close To The
Native.
b) Here also a close friend or a family member becomes instrumental in getting the fruits
of the house whose lord is placed under this Dharak.
6
898
c) If native tries to get the fruits of the house with his own efforts, he may not get the
desired result but gets the fruits with the help of a close friend or a family member.
d) Here also during benefic rotation of planets, native gets good fruits with the help of a
family member or a close friend but during unfavourable rotation of planets, the same
close friends or family members become instrumental for native getting bad fruits or
worries of that house.
Dharakansha Horoscope
D harakansha Kundali is one of the research works of my Guruji Dr. Ravindra Desai,
it would be prudent for the erudite scholar to work further on it for its miraculous
snap shot results in judging houses.
I. He calculated the Dharak of each planet and placed them in the house in which the
respective planet is situated in the birth horoscope.
II. He then studied the effects of dharak on that house and found out that Dharak plays a
very important role in modifying the fruits of that house.
III. If a favourable Dharak is present in the house, it increases the favourable fruits of that
house but if an unfavorable Dharak occupies that house the fruits of that house
become unfavourable even if the house is strong in the horoscope.
IV. If more than one dharaks were present in the house then their combined effects were
observed on the fruits of that house.
To understand this properly let us prepare a Dharkansha Horoscope of a native and
study the effects of dharaks on the fruits of that house.
To prepare Dharakansha Horoscope, one has to prepare a birth horoscope with spasta
grahas (Degreecal position of planets). From this, find out the constellation of each planet.
One has to prepare a dharak chart and place each planet under the Dharak in which its
Nakshatra is present. Then find out the dharak of each planet. Place the dharak of each
planet in the house where it is situated in the birth horoscope. This way dharakansha
kundali will be ready.
Let us take few examples.

Predictions from Dharakansha Kundali:
Adhimitra Dharak in 1st House: Adhimitra means family members or very close friend and
the 1st house is the house of body and mind. Family members and close friend of the native
become instrumental in proper growth of mind and body of the native and also in
maintaining it fit. They also help him in his deeds for getting stability in his life and to
maintain it. But during malefic rotation of planets, they become instrumental in bringing
him mental and physical worries and also for his stability in life.
Vipad in 2nd House: Vipad means obstacles and worries and 2nd house is the house of financial
matters, wealth and family members. Native is finding obstacles and worries in his deeds for
getting money and saving it and also for creating wealth. He is finding obstacles and worries
in the beginning of his deeds even if they are straight forward and simple. Native has to
work for removing those obstacles and then he will succeed in his efforts of earning money
and getting wealth. But there will be less charm in spite of getting money and wealth as
native has to pass through lot of hardships and extra work. This is also the house of family
members so there may be worries in his relationship with his family members. As the lord
of this house Mars is situated in third house, native will earn money and get wealthy by his
self efforts and enterprises and his brothers or sisters may become helpful.
Kshema in 2nd House: Kshema means to get fruits easily and to enjoy them with family
members. 2nd house is the house of money, wealth and family members. So native will be
able to earn money easily and save them for the future. He distributes the fruits of second
house among his family members and his relatives or his well-wishers and enjoys with them
happily. He does not use or keep money for himself alone. Native also shares his wealth
9
901
with his family members and enjoys with them. But whenever there are financial worries or
worries regarding his wealth, he would not share them with his family members. This is the
special feature of this Dharak.
Pratyari in 3rd House: Pratyari means despair and the 3rd house is the house of new
enterprises. This is also the house of brothers and sisters. Whenever native thinks of doing
some new enterprise he finds that the atmosphere is not always favourable. The atmosphere
which was favourable when he started his deeds does not remain same for long. After some
time he would find some obstacles and unfavourable circumstances which make him lose his
hopes about the out come of his deeds. His mind fills up with despair. But this despair also
does not remain for long. As the rotation of planets improve, the place of despair is taken up
by hopes, this way there is always the atmosphere of hopes and hopelessness regarding the
fruits of this house.
As this is also the house of brothers and sisters, the relations of native with his
brethren are sometimes very good and sometimes there is worries.
Sadhak in 3rd House: Sadhak means Sadhana or Tap or to work continuously or constantly
either mentally or physically. Native has to work constantly for obtaining the fruits of his
deeds. If he stops his deeds then the fruits of his deeds would stop coming in i.e. he has to
work constantly for achieving and maintaining the fruits of his deeds or enterprise. Suppose
native has established a company and has fixed certain target for income and works to
achieve his target and is happy after achieving it. He thinks that his company is well
established now and there will be no problem if he focuses his attention to some other
business. But as soon as he stops looking after his company, the business slows down and his
income decreases. He again has to focus all his attention to the affairs of this company and
again he will start getting fruits i.e. he has to look after his company affairs even after it is
well established. Then and then only he would get proper and continuous fruits.
Sampad in 5th house: Sampad means extra or more then one’s expectation. 5th house is the house
of education, intelligence and children. Some take 5H for higher education note this. Native
was an average student during school; parents were always worried about his education. But
he got more marks than his efforts during exams. He got better results in his exams than his
expectations. During graduation studies he got first class through out. Then he gave CET
for MBA but could not get admission in India. He was totally disappointed. He then read
about Australian University fair and attended the seminar. He submitted his certificates and
was selected for MBA by one of the best universities of Australia and has completed 2
semesters with credits and he was one of the top ten students out of 70 who were selected for
industrial training. This means that whenever there is a rotation of malefic planets over 5th
house, he would get worries which are more than his expectations but whenever there is a
rotation of benefic planets over this house, he would get much better fruits than his
expectation.

Karve Guruji – An Exposition

By
R.G.Krishnan, USA
K arve Guruji (respectfully called in this manner by his devotees) is a well known
person in the astrological world. He, Karve Guruji along with his daughter Pinki
and son Sandeep visited our house at Murphy, Texas and stayed with us from May
22nd until May 30th, 2009. We consider this as our good fortune and a blessing that a highly
spiritually elevated person like Karve Guruji could spend his time with us and perform his
daily poojas in our house. This was his second visit to our house. He had earlier visited our
house for the first time in 1995 and stayed with us for a week.
Karve Guruji is a blessed soul who got divine vision in his childhood and is also a self
realized person. During his stay with us from May 22 to 30, 2009 we had several occasions to
chat with him whenever he was free from his daily poojas.
On each such occasion, I took the opportunity to ask him as
many questions as possible about his early childhood and as
to how he got “Siddhi” that is super normal powers and high
degree of intuition with the help of which he is able to
comprehend date and time of birth of any one who meets
him or talks to him over the telephone. I also asked him
questions about his Guru from whom he got the astrological
knowledge.
Karve Guruji is a very humble person and as such he
did not want any publicity about him. However we tried to
reason out with him stating that he owed to the Astrological
world to tell about him and to spread his message of love to
all human beings and to bring to their notice the Divine
mantra he got in his divine vision.
He replied stating that all things that happened in his
life were by the will of God and that he did not plan for it
nor will he take any credit for the various things that happened in his life.
I asked probing questions to him, to his daughter Pinky and to his son Sandeep and the
information gathered from such questioning is given below which I share with the readers of
the Saptarishisastrology magazine
Karve Guruji’s Birth & Early Childhood.
S hri Karve was born on an Ashadi Ekadasi day, (the exact year of his birth is not
known as he was born in his parent’s home at Pune (old name Poona) in a middle
class Brahmin family household. In those days births that took place in homes were
not recorded by the local Municipality. Due to this reason he did not have any birth
certificate. His father was a pious Vedic Brahmin and his grand father was also a pious
Vedic Brahmin. They both devoted their entire time in doing prayers & meditation and
903
2
spent a considerable part of their time to go to Varanasi [old name Benaras] and to do
‘Tapasya’ (penance) there.
In his early childhood, he was guided by his parents in doing daily prayers and other
Vedic rituals as done in any Brahmin family. When he came of school going age he went to
a nearby Municipal school at Poona itself. However he did schooling for two years only and
then dropped out of school as the school education did not interest him.
His First Exposure To Astrology:

In his early childhood, some time in the year 1938 or 1939, he happened to pick up a
used book from an old books shop. He said that something made him pick up this book as it
fascinated him from the very beginning. In that book he found horoscopes of Lord Sri Ram
and Lord Sri Krishna were given with some astrological comments. That was his first
encounter with Vedic Astrology. Reading this book was a thrilling experience to him and he
felt that as if that he knew the subject (may be from his past births). With great interest he
read the book over and over again as the two horoscopes made a big impact on his young
mind. He soon memorized these two horoscopes along with the astrological comments on
them as contained in that book.
The details of these two horoscopes are as under:
Sri Ram’s Horoscope:

Sri Ram was born in Punarvasu Nakshatra in Kataka Rasi (Cancer Moon sign) Kataka
Lagna (Cancer ascendant), with a Jupiter exalted and well placed in ascendant (Lagna).
Saturn exalted and well placed in 4th house, Mars exalted and well placed in the 7th house,
Venus exalted and well placed in the 9th house, Sun exalted and well placed in the 10th
house along with Mercury, Rahu in 6 and Ketu in the 12th house. Thus lord Rama had 5
planets in exaltation signs and one planet in own sign. He told me that this horoscope made
big impact in his mind and it seemed to him that he was familiar with astrology as he could
understand the book very clearly.

Sri Krishna’s Horoscope
Lord Sri Krishna’s horoscope has the following placement of planets:

He was born in Rohini Nakshatra in Vrishabha Rasi (Taurus Moon sign), Taurus
ascendant (Vrishabha lagna). Sun strongly placed in own house and in the 4th house in Leo
sign (Simha Rasi), Mercury strongly placed in Virgo sign (kanya Rasi), Venus strongly
placed in own house in Libra (Thula Rasi), Mars exalted and placed in Capricorn sign,
Saturn strongly placed in own sign Aquarius, Jupiter strongly placed in own house in Pisces,
Rahu placed in 6th house from ascendant and Ketu placed in the 12th house from ascendant.
Thus Lord Krishna had in his horoscope 5 planets well placed in own sign (Swagrahee) and 2
planets well placed in exaltation signs. These two horoscopes made a big impact on his
young mind and he read this book with interest over and over again. Around this time he
felt a deep urge to learn more and more about astrology by reading more books and by
discussing the matter with astrology knowing persons.
Shortly, after this book incident, in the year 1939, he met his first Guru by the name of
Hari Bhau Dikshit. He gave him the initial knowledge in Astrology. Later in the year 1945
he met Sri GaneshViswanath Joshi. He was a born blind but knew astrology and was a
bachelor. He used to sit in a temple all day long every day and tried to guide astrologically
the various persons who came to seek his guidance. By the blessings and guidance of Shri
Joshi he developed his knowledge further & could also astrologically guide persons who had
come to him with their problems.
Around this time the number of people from all walks of life seeking astrological
guidance from him was increasing day by day and he did his best to help them astrologically.
One such person was Shri Harivansh Rai Bachchan, father of Super Star Amitabh Bachchan
who had come to Poona to attend one “Kavi Sammelan” (Meeting of poet artistes) in the
year 1942. He had told Karve Guruji that his wife was expecting a baby and wanted to know
about the future of that baby. Karve Guruji told him that a son will be born to him soon who

will have a very bright future and that he will become a famous person down the road &
will be visible throughout the world. Later a son was born to him who was named Amitabh
Bachchan and every one knows about Amitabh Bachchan now is a super star of Indian
Hindi movies
In the year 1943 Lata Mangeshkar then a teenage girl met him and wanted to know
about her future. Karve Guruji told her that she will become a famous person down the road
and her name will be practically in the lips
of every citizen of India. All of us know
about the singing sensation called Lata
Mangeshkar. Around this time many
astrology knowing persons used to meet
him and discuss astrology with him. In the
year 1944 one famous astrologer of that time
by name Sahu Modak met him and
discussed astrological points with him.
In the year 1944 One Inspector
general of Police in then Bombay
Presidency( now called Maharashtra State)
by name MaruthikarNarainkar Kamte met
him and took him to Yerawada Jail to meet
Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru who was lodged in
that prison (jailed by the British Rulers for
taking part in freedom movement). Karve
Guruji told Mr.Nehru at that meeting that
he will be the first Prime Minister of
Independent India and that day is not far of.
Every one knows that India became independent in the year 1947 and Mr.Jawaharlal Nehru
became the first Prime Minister of Independent India. Around this time the father of Sri
Shantaram had met him and told him that he is worried about the future of his son. Karve
Guruji told him not to worry as his son will make a big mark down the road and will become
very famous all over India. Everyone knows about V.Shantaram a highly successful Movie
figure.
Around this time, many Hindu Sadhus and Sanyasis & some saintly persons from
Muslim community, used to meet him often and all of them used to tell him that he is a
blessed person & that he will be able to see God in a divine vision very soon.
Shortly after this on 8 Aug, 1945, he had a “Divya Dhrishti” (Divine Vision) at a Vishnu
temple, at Poona. In that Divine vision he could see in the Idol, the God Vitthal, God of
Pandharpur temple – God Balaji of Tirupathi temple and God Srinathji of Dwarka temple.
They all appeared before him as if he was watching a TV screen.
This was his first divine vision and during that divine vision he experienced a blissful state
of mind and a feeling of happiness of the highest order never so far experienced in his life.
Soon after this incident many Hindu Sadhus and Sanyasis used to meet him and told him
that he will be able to see many more such “Divya Dhrishtis”(Divine Vision) in his life.
On 18th August 1952 at 7 pm, through the help of one Sanyasi, he could get a grand
divine vision in which he could see Lord Vishnu in Vishwadarshana. It was like watching
TV screen and during this Divine Vision the mantra “Om Shri Vishvadarshan Devatayai
906
5
Namaha” was given to him. Since then he has been reciting this mantra in his daily
pooja & he continues to do so even now.
He has since asked several persons who sought his guidance to chant this mantra daily
as a remedy to overcome their problems as this mantra will help to invoke the blessings of
the Almighty God.
His Marriage & Family Life

Karve Guruji got married in the year 1957. Since he did not have a formal education he
did not work on any job. He used the family fortunes for making his living and the family
fortunes gradually got dwindled. His family consists of three sons and three daughters.
Although he never worked on any job, by the grace of God he has been running the family
comfortably until to-day without any problem as most of the people who sought his
guidance generally helped the family by giving some donation.
Karve Guruji’s Trips Abroad:

He was invited by Arsha Vidya Gurukulam at Saylosburg PA, USA in the year 1995
to attend an astrological seminar. As part of that trip he visited Texas and stayed with us in
our home for about 15 days. Subsequently he has been visiting USA almost every year
during summer. He has also visited countries in the Middle East. During 1997 he was invited
by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi to Nether lands and there he was conferred the title of
“Satpursuha’’ by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi.
Karve Guruji is a tireless person. It is amazing that at his age (estimated to be about
80 yrs old), he observes fasting on every Monday which means that he will not take even
water after he gets up until he finishes his daily pooja and after that he will take a small
quantity of special food prepared for such fasting days. He observed this fast during his stay
in our house and we were amazed to see his energy level was the same as on non-fasting
days. He attributed this to “Daiva Shakthi” that is divine help. I have heard of Sages living
in Himalayas living on pure cosmic energy as they live in caves in remote areas where food
and water is generally not accessible. Likewise may be Karve Guruji is able to absorb energy
from the cosmos (cosmic energy) on such fasting days. It was really amazing.
Karve Guruji’s Message To Readers Of Saptarishis Astrology Magazine

He says that the mantra he got in the divine vision namely “Om Shri
Vishvadarshan Devatayai Namaha” should be chanted for overcoming all problems by each
and every one irrespective of the religion they may belong, as this is a universal mantra for
all religions and Gods. The flyer given by Karve Guruji is attached for information of all
readers at the end of this write up.
May God bless Karve Guruji with long life so that he can be a source of inspiration to the
younger generation?
For the benefit of those readers who wish to call Karve Guruji they may call his daughter
Pinky Karve in India, I have given below the cell (mobile) number & landline number of
Pinky Karve in India. Before calling her the readers are advised to keep a copy of their

Longevity
In Astrology
By
Dr.S.C.Kursija, India
I f we read any classical book we will find a

chapter on longevity and some principles to
know the time of death. Death is ultimate
end of the life. Every Jeeva is to die. These
classical books were written hundreds of years
back. Then natives were not afraid of death.
They wanted to know their period and time of
death because they were honest and true to their
karma. They knew that rebirth will give more
energy and force to work more hard for uplift of
soul. But the present man is afraid of death. He
knows that he is not doing right things and doing
karma only for the benefit of present life and

sckursija@yahoo.com. periods
1) Alpa Ayu 2) Madhya Ayu and 3) Purana Ayu.
910
Alpa Ayu (short span of life) is up to 32 years. It has been divided in to again three periods.
¾ Sadhyorista immediate death within one year
¾ Balarishta one to 12 years
¾ Yogarishta up to 20 years
Madhya Ayu (medium span of life) is up 64 to 75 years. It has been divided in to again three periods
¾ Madhya Alpa ayu
¾ Madhya-Madhya ayu
¾ Madhya Purana Ayu
Purna Ayu Age (full span of life) is more than 70 years and up to 100 years
¾ Deerga Ayu more than 100 years up to 120 years
¾ Parama Ayu more than 120 years.
We are mainly concerned up to Purna Ayu. There are nearly 82 methods of calculations of the span of
life and all fails to calculate accurate span of life as the native has free will to do karma. He can increase
his life by controlling his Karma and devoting in good karma. He can decrease his life span by bad
karma and immersing himself in the philosophy of eat, drink and do merry or living the style of W
cube. Wealth, Wine and Woman.
Our Rishis were very concerned about the span of life. They evolved methods to determine the span of
life. They evolved A. Amshayu, B. Nisargayu, C. Pindayu and D. Lagnayu. They said that
¾ If lagna lord is strong and have aspect or conjoined with benefic planet, one should determine
the span of life by Amshayu.
¾ If Sun is strong then determine the span of life by Pindayu.
¾ If Moon is strong then determine the span of life by Nisargayu.
It was only Acharya Satyacharya who said that the span of life should be determined only by Lagnayu.
Standard methods of Judgment of Longevity
(1) Method of three planets: Placement of Lagna lord, 10th lord and 8th lord in movable, fixed or
common sign. The Movable sign represents Purna-ayu, Fixed sign represents Alpa-ayu and Common
sign represents Madhyam-ayu. (PAM)
(2) Method of three pairs: (a) Lagna lord and 8th lord (b) Saturn and Moon; (c) Lagna and Hora
lagna posited in movable, fixed or common sign (PAM). Movable + Movable=Purna-ayu; Fixed +Fixed
= Alpa-ayu; Common + Common + Madhyam ayu
(3) 8th Lord Placement:
(a) Occupation of Kendra indicates a Long life.

(b) Occupation of panaphara house indicates Madhyam life.
(c) Occupation of apoklim house indicates Alpa-ayu
(4) Kakshya Vridhi of Ayu: If Jupiter is posited in 7th or Lagna or conjoined with benefic planet
or aspected by a benefic planet. Only Jupiter is not enough, powerful planet in Kendra or trine, indicates
long life.
(a) When Ascendant (lagna) is hemmed in between benefic planets
(b) When benefics are in trine from Ascendant.
(c) When benefics planet is posited or aspects lagna
(5) Kakshya Harana of Ayu:
911
(a) If Saturn is debilitated or in enemy sign and associated with or aspected by a malefic planet.
This reduction will not be done if Saturn is posited in exaltation, own sign, or not aspected or associated
with malefic sign.
(b) When Saturn is posited in Kendra from Jupiter or Kendras are aspected by Saturn along with
Mars.
(c) If Moon is posited in 8th or 12th from Ascendant.
(d) If Saturn is posited in Lagna or Rashi i.e. sign of Moon
(e) If Saturn is posited in 6th, 8th or 12th from Ascendant or Rashi
(f) If Saturn conjoined with Lagna Lord or Rashi lord.
(g) If Lagna is hemmed in between malefic planets.
(h) If Malefic planets are posited in lagna, 8th, 3rd, 5th, 9th, or 11th from Lagna.
As our span of life is dependent on our “Sanchit” and “Prarabdha Karma” our Rishis emphasized on the dasha
and antar dasha of Marakesha and Badhakesha. When span of life is decided on Marakesha and Badhakesh,
it is called Dashayu.
The 8th and 8th from 8th i.e. 3rd are the houses of longevity. The 12th from these houses i.e. 7th and 2nd are
the Maraka houses, their lords are called Marakesh. The badhaka lord for movable sign is 11th lord, for
fixed sign is 9th lord and for dual sign is 7th lord. There are some learned astrologers who are not ready
to accept 9th lord as badhaka for fixed sign. They say that it is lord of the trine and Sage Parashara has
said that the dasha and antar dasha of 9th lord is beneficial as it is house of Lakshmi. But they forget that it
is Apoklim1 house also.
The lagna, lagna lord, planets in lagna and planets associated with lagna lord are also responsible for
longevity.
The 10th house and 10th lord, planets posited in 10th and planets associated with 10th indicate present
karma which can increase or decrease the span of life.
Therefore the three planet, Lagna, 10th and 8th lords are the easiest method to calculate the span of life.
After calculating probable span of life, one should look for the dasha of maraka and transit during that
period.
We read in “Mahabharata” that mass destruction was caused by malefic planets surrounding Sun at the
time of war. Sun is the soul of the Kala Purusha i.e. of the Universe. Varahamihira calls the Sun as
Kalatma-The soul of time. Therefore it is important to consider Sun in matters of longevity.
If the span of life is going to expire then the dasha and antar dasha of Marakesh i.e.
(1) The Lord of 2nd house,
(2) The Lord of 7th house
(3) The malefic planets posited in 2nd,
(4) The malefic planets posited in 7th,
(5) The malefic planets associated with 2nd lord,
(6) The malefic planets associated with 7th lord,
(7) The malefic planets aspecting 2nd lord,
(8) The malefic planets aspecting 7th lord,
(9) The lord of the sign occupied by 2nd lord in navamsha,
(10) The lord of sign occupied by the 7th lord in navamsha.
(11) The 12th lord

Brihat Jataka Chapter 1 Shl - 18. The houses next to the angles are known as the Panapharas or Succedent houses.
The houses next to the Succedent houses are termed the Apoklims or Cadent houses. The fourth house is known as
Hibukam, Ambu, Sukham and Vesma. The seventh house is known as Jamitram. The fifth house is called Trikonam.
The tenth house is known as Mesurana and the 10th.
912
(12) The planets posited in 12th house.
(13) The planets associated with 12th lord.
(14) The lord of the sign occupied by the 12th lord in navamsha.
(15) The 8th lord
(16) The planets in 8th house can cause death if the span of life is going to expire.
(17) If the span of life is going to expire then if Saturn is lord of 3rd, 6th, 11th or 8th and associated with
marakesh its dasha or antar dasha can also cause death.
(18) If the span of life is going to expire then the dasha of a benefic planet associated with marakesh
can cause death.
So in Laghu Parashari it is clearly said that if the span of life is going to expire then only the dasha and
antar dasha of marakesh can cause death, otherwise not. Therefore it is the duty of an astrologer to
know the possible span of life i.e. Alpa, Madhya or Poorna and then see the dasha and antar dasha of
marakesh.
Since the subject is vast we will touch the matter in general way and these will be in connection with
Alpa, Madhya and Poorna ayu.
The principles according to Sage Parashara

Alpayu – Short Span Of Life
(1) If the Lagna Lord is posited in movable sign and 8th lord in dual sign.
(2) If the Lord of Lagna and 8th Lord are posited in fixed sign.
(3) If Saturn and Mars in Lagna and Jupiter in 6th and Moon in 8th,
(4) If lagna lord in 8th aspected by malefic planet.
(5) If the Lagna Lord is weak and malefic planets in 6th, 8th, 12th
(6) If 8th lord in kendra aspected by a malefic planet.
(7) If Lagna Lord is posited in 6th, 8th, 12th, and not aspected by a benefic planet, and conjoined or
aspected by a malefic planet.
(8) If Lagna Lord is conjoined by a malefic and malefic planets are posited in kendra not aspected
by a benefic planet,
(9) If malefic planets are posited in 2nd and 12th, not aspected by benefic planet,
(10) If Lagna Lord and 8th lord are combust, debilitated, posited in enemy’s sign, and posited in
6th, 8th or 12th house.
(11) If 8th lord or Saturn is combust, debilitated, or posited in enemy’s sign,
Madhyayu – Medium Span Of Life

(1) Lagna lord in immovable sign and 8th lord in fixed sign.
(2) The malefic planets in 2nd,3rd, 4th, 5th, 8th, and 11th
(3) The malefic and benefic planets occupy kendra and trikona
(4) Jupiter as lagna lord becomes weak and malefic planets in kendra and trikona.
(5) The benefic planets in kendra and trine and Strong Saturn in 6th and malefic planets in 6th and
8th
(6) Hora lagna in fixed sign.
Poornayu – Full Span Of Life

(1) If Lagna Lord and 8th lord in movable sign,
(2) Hora Lagna in dual sign
(3) 10th Lord in 5th and 8th lord in exaltation and benefic planets in Kendra.
(4) The benefic planets in Kendra and malefic planets in 3rd, 6th and 11th.
(5) The benefic planets in 6th, 7th, and 8th and malefic planets in 3rd, 6th, and 11th.
(6) 8th Lord in lagna and aspected by Jupiter or Venus.
(7) The Lagna Lord, 8th Lord and 10th Lord in Kendra or trikona or 11th.
(8) The Lagna Lord or 8th in 8th or 11th.
(9) The Lagna Lord or 10th Lord in kendra,
913
(10) The lagna lord, 6th lord and 12th lord in own houses.
According to Sage Parashara, the movable signs give Poornayu, fixed sign gives Alpayu, and
Dwisvabhava sign gives Madhyayu. He has made three groups to judge the longevity of a native, (1)
Lagna lord and 8th lord, (2) Moon and Saturn, (3) Lagna and Hora lagna.
If lagna lord and 8th lord are posited in movable sign or one in fixed sign and other in dual sign, one
enjoys Poornayu.
If both are posited in dual sign or one in movable and other in fixed sign, the native enjoys Madhyayu.
If both are posited in fixed sign or one in movable sign and other in dual sign, the native enjoys Alpayu.
If the entire three groups indicate Poornayu, the native lives for 120 years, if two members indicate
Poornayu, the native lives for 108 years if only one indicates Poornayu, the naïve enjoys 96 years of life.
Similarly 80, 72, 64 respectively are the years for the Madhyayu
Similarly 40, 36 and 32 respectively are the years for Alpayu
The final decision of longevity is to be taken from Lagna and Hora lagna, if all the three group members
give different results.
Hora Lagna
T he calculation of Hora lagna in the text is not sound mathematically. The text says that if the
birth lagna is odd sign, add the Ishta kala to the longitude of the Sun. If the birth sign is even,
add the Istha kala to the longitude of the lagna, which looks unsound. More over the longitude
of the lagna or Sun has not been taken in to account. It is clearly said that the Ishta kala is the time
from sunrise to the birth time of the native. Therefore the longitude of the Sun should be taken into
account. We should take the standard time deduct the local time of the sun rise. It will give the Istha
kala in hours and minutes. The hours indicate sign and minutes divided by 2 indicates the longitude of
the lagna. The Hora lagna will be the Longitude of Sun in sign and degree and minutes plus the sign
and hours and minutes arrived at by Istha kala.
Suppose we desire to the Hora lagna of Delhi at 4pm.. the sun rise is at 6hrs and 19 minutes. The
4pm means 16hrs.Now 16-00 minus 06-19= 9 hrs and 41 minutes. 9hrs are the sign and 41 divided by 2 i.e.
20-30 is the longitude of the sign i.e.9s-20 degree and 30 minutes is the longitude; add longitude of the
Sun on that day. It will give the Hora lagna with longitude.
If Moon is posited in lagna or 7th from lagna then lagna and Moon gives the final indications.
If Jupiter is posited in lagna or 7th in strength and conjoined or aspected by a benefic planet, then one
section of life is increased i.e. Alpayu becomes Madhyayu, Madhyayu becomes Poornayu and Poornayu
becomes Amitayu.
If Saturn is one of the members of the group indicating span of life, one should deduct one section of
the life. If Saturn is posited in his own sign or exalted, or yoga karaka, not conjoined or aspected by a
malefic planet, one should not deduct the section of life.
BPHS chapter 39 shloka 31—50

Sage Parashara has given other methods also, such as 8th lord and Saturn, 3rd lord and Mars etc. The
above method is mainly applied.
Sage Jaimini has taken the three groups as Parashara but with little difference A) Lagna lord and 8th
lord, B) Moon and lagna, C) Lagna and Hora lagna, not Saturn.
Moreover both have not taken into account the 10th house and 10th lord in its account, where as 10th
house and 10th lord indicate karma of the native during present birth. The karma of the present birth can

reduce or increase the kakshya of the birth i.e. from Alpayu to Madhyayu, from Madhyayu to
Poornayu or from Poornayu to Madhyayu.
Some rules of Jaimini

Alpayu: if four or more planets in from 9th to 12th houses,
Madhyayu: If four or more planets in from 5th to 9th house
Poornayu: if four or more planets in from lagna to 4th house.
Kalidas in Uttarkalamrita
Alpayu: if malefic planets are posited in Kendra and trikona, 8th and 12th
Madhyayu: if benefic planets are posited in 2nd, 3rd and 11th
Poornayu: if benefic planets Jupiter, Venus, unafflicted Mercury and full Moon and trine lords are
posited in kendra or trine.
Ramadayalu in Sanket Nidhi
According to him if the planets are posited in last portion of the sign it contributes little toward its
longevity. If planet posited in own sign or exaltation or friend’s sign contribute long life.
Some Observations
Long life is indicated
(1) If benefic planets are posited in benefic houses, Kendra or Kona with strength. The malefic
planets in Upachaya houses.
(2) No malefic planet should be connected with 8th or 8th lord except Saturn.
(3) If 8th lord, 3rd lord and 10th lord are strong and posited in kendra.
(4) If Lagna Lord and 8th lord are posited in movable sign with benefic aspect.
Madhyamayu is indicated
(1) If benefic and malefic planets are posited in kendra and kona.
(2) If lagna lord is weak and 8th lord is strong without benefic aspect, and 8th house has no malefic
planet but has benefic aspect.
Alpayu is indicated
(1) If malefic planets are in kendra, kona and benefic houses.
(2) Weak lagna lord and 8th lord or both posited in fixed sign.
(3) If Saturn is weak and not aspected by a benefic planet.
Source Of Death
8th house from lagna or Moon which ever is strong indicates death and source of death. When there are
many planets in 8th, death will be due to disease of various kinds pertaining to these planets. One’s
death should be expected to happen caused by humour to the sign of the 8th house or to the Navamsha
sign occupied by the 8th lord.
• Sun indicates death due to fire.
• Moon-water,
• Mars-weapon,
• Mercury-by fall,
• Jupiter-by fever,
• Venus-by indigestion,
• Saturn-by hunger
915
• Sign or Navamsha belong to Aries be unoccupied: fever, poison, disorder of stomach and
biliousness. If Aries is occupied or aspected by a planet, death will be caused by disorder belonging to
that planet. (It should be considered in each sign.)
• Taurus: death is caused by vitiation of three humours of the body, by weapon, or fire.
• Gemini: due to cough, asthma, excessive heat, colic and the like.
• Cancer: due to rheumatism, insanity, or diarrhoea
• Leo: due to boil, poison, weapon, or fever.
• Virgo: due to disorder of stomach, quarrel, a fall from a piece,
• Libra: due to own faults, fever,
• Scorpio: due to jaundice, enlarge spleen,
• Sagittarius: due to fall from a tree, wood, weapon, water.
• Capricorn: due to derangement of mind, plough, colic,
• Aquarius: animal, weapon, poison of serpent, cough, consumption, un-natural death.
• Pisces: serpent bite, while on journey, through storm, or machine.
Place of death
The rising Navamsha of the chart indicates place of death.
• Aries-forest or where sheep and goat are abound, cow shed
• Taurus-forest where animal graze
• Gemini-residence
• Cancer-water resort
• Leo-forest, distance place
• Virgo-if forest, distance place
• Libra- market place
• Scorpio-uneven place in the ground
• Sagittarius-cowshed
• Capricorn-water resorts, near river, in well etc.
• Aquarius-residence
• Pisces-water resort
These are the general indications from classical books particularly from Hora Sara.
Let us apply the above principles on some charts.

Case 1
Dr. B.V.Raman DOB Aug 08, 1912, TOB 19:43 hrs, Bangalore. Dr. B.V.Raman – the father of modern
Astrology, his life was not an easy task. He died on Dec 20, 1998 after 86 years of span of life.
916
The lagna lord Saturn is posited in fixed sign Taurus a friends sign in Kendra and aspected by Jupiter
who is in a kendra. The 8th lord Mercury is posited in fixed sign with malefic planet. 8th house is
occupied by Ketu a malefic planet. If we go by the method of Alpayu, Madhyayu and Poornayu, we can
say that the native will live for Alpayu. But as the lagna lord, 8th lords 3rd lord and 10th house and 10th
lord are posited in kendra, lagna lord is aspected by Jupiter and lagna lord aspects its own lagna, so the
native lived a long life. Moreover lagna lord and 8th lord are posited in movable sign in navamsha is
giving Poornayu. The benefic planet Venus exalted in kendra. At least two lagna should be strong. The
lagna is aspected by his own lord and Moon is posited in the sign of friend and dispositor Mars who is
in Kendra in his friend’s sign.
Case 2nd
The native was born on Sep 26, 1913, at 21:00, at Tenali Andhra Pradesh. He is still alive 2009.
917
The lagna lord Venus is posited in Kendra and aspected by Jupiter from own sign, 8th lord Jupiter is
posited in his own sign, 3rd lord Moon posited in own sign, 10th lord Saturn in lagna indicates long life.
The native is plus 95 and all faculties are normal. Moon in his own sign, lagna lord in Kendra gives two
strong lagnas.
Case 3
The native was born on 17-10-1977, 18:15 hrs Faridabad. He died on 17-07-1996 at the age of 19 years.
The lagna lord Mars is debilitated in Kendra, lagna is aspected by Sun in debilitation. Mars is 8th lord
also and 8th house is aspected by Gulika. The 3rd lord Mercury is posited in 6thhouse with Rahu and 2nd
lord Venus, a maraka. The 10th lord Saturn is posited in 5th house in the house of enemy and hemmed in
between Mars and Rahu. The two lagnas, birth lagna lord Mars and Sun are debilitated. Moon is posited
in the sign of Jupiter, but Jupiter in 3rd is detrimental to 9th. So all the three lagna are weak. He died at
the age of 19 years.
Case 4
The native was born on 23-3-1951, at 19:00, Bulandshahar UP. He died on 10-1-1996
The native died at the age of 45, Madhyayu
918
"The Lagna is Virgo and lagna lord Mercury is posited in 7th and is debilitated, detrimental to lagna.
8th lord Mars is posited in 7th, aspecting the lagna and 10th, afflicting Moon and Sun. Retro Saturn is
posited in lagna, aspecting 3rd, 7th and 10th. Saturn is 5th and 6th lord. 3rd lord Mars is again posited in
7th. 2nd lord Venus is in 8th. 7th lord Jupiter is posited in 7th aspecting lagna, 3rd house which gave
him Madhyamayu. 10th lord Mercury is debilitated in 7th.It is the position of Jupiter which gave him
Madhyamyu."
More cases of span of life can be given. It will only multiply the volume, but the result will be the same.
The lagna and lagna lord, 8th house and 8th lord, 3rd house and 3rd lord, 10th house and 10th lord should be
strong for Poornayu. If two or three are strong it will give Madhyamyu and if are weak and afflicted
Alpayu is give as span of life. There are three lagnas (Asc) in a horoscope. All three lagnas should be
strong for Poornayu (full span). The strength of two or one gives Madhyamyu (medium span). When
all three lagna are weak it gives Alpayu (short span).

interest in astrology for a long time and has (Newtonian) physics failed to explain very

Research (ISAR).and Journal of the Mindshift for quantity) refers to the discrete units that
Institute. Recently, he has published a book the theory assigns to physical quantities
Why Astrology is Science: Five Good such as the energy of light and
Reasons. electromagnetic wave.
Classical physics explained all physical

phenomena in the world with two entities –
1
920
matter and fields. Drop a stone from a bridge. The stone is made of matter. It drops
because the earth’s gravitational field pulls it. Earth as a matter produces gravitational field
which pulls the other much smaller matter like stone following Newton’s laws of motion.
Scottish physicist James Clark proposed another field called electromagnetic field laying
down the laws of electric and magnetic fields. Electricity and magnetism are not two
separate fields but different aspects of a single electromagnetic field. Maxwell figured out
that light is also an electro-magnetic field at certain frequencies.
However, problem came with the classical physics in explaining why iron glows red around
thirteen hundred degrees. According to classical physics, black bodies should glow bright
blue at all temperatures. German scientist Max Planck solved this problem by proposing that
matter particles do not vibrate any way they please, but at frequencies that follow the simple
rule:
E = nhf
Where E is the particle’s energy, n is any integer, f is the frequency of the particle’s
vibration, and h is the Planck’s constant. This was the first foundation of the quantum
mechanics. Following this, the most celebrated scientist of the twentieth century Albert
Einstein explained the photoelectric effect – light’s ability to eject electrons out of metal –
using Max Planck’s quantum action. Einstein also showed that light consists of shower of
particles called photons.
While physicists were puzzling over the light’s seemingly contradictory properties - waves
and particles, French physicist Louis de Broglie hypothesized that all entities have both wave
and particle aspects. The wavelength of a photon can be obtained from its momentum by the
formula:
p = h/λ
Where, p is the momentum, λ is the wavelength, and h is the Planck’s constant. But, this
wave function differs from ordinary waves in that it carries no energy. For an ordinary
wave, the square of its amplitude measures its energy. For a quantum wave, the square of its
amplitude at a certain location represents not energy but probability, the probability that a
particle – localized quantum of energy - will be observed by a detector placed at that
location.
2
probability = (amplitude of wave function)
The fundamental principle of quantum mechanics is based on the laws of probability, not
laws of certainty. Probability is a measure of the relative number of ways an event can
happen. The probability that a coin, when tossed, will come up heads is exactly ½ or 0.5. But
the result of any toss is uncertain. But, if we flip the coin enough number of times, say a
million times, we will find that heads showed up very close to half a million times making
the probability of heads almost ½ or 0.5.
Danish physicist Niels Bohr, who is considered the founder of quantum mechanics,
proposed that electrons can exist only at discrete energy levels around the nucleus of an
2
921
atom which prevents them from spiraling into the nucleus as classical physics
predicts. Let us look at the picture of a hydrogen atom in its ground state. If we think that
the electron is looping around the nucleus as shown in Figure 1A, then we are 80 years out of
date. According to quantum mechanics, the probability density plot of the electron in
hydrogen atom is shown in Figure 1B. The density of the dots represents the probability of
finding the electron in that region.
Figure 1A: Electron looping around the nucleus in hydrogen atom according to classical
physics.
Figure 1B: Electron probability density cloud of hydrogen atom according to quantum
mechanics.
The size of an atom is ~1 x 10-10 meter. The central nucleus where 99.9 percent of the atom’s
mass resides is ~1 x 10-15 to 1 x 10-14 meter. The size of an electron is not exactly known, but
thought to be of the order of 1 x 10-14 meter. If the nucleus were the size of our Sun, then the
hydrogen ground state would be twenty times larger than the solar system. If the electron
were really a point particle moving around the atomic space, it would reside in a space so
vacant that it would make solar system seem crowded. Now, if we consider the wave
function of the electron with its probability density, then the probability density will fill up
the whole atomic space. For instance, let us try to push our hand through a wall. Since atoms
3
922
are mostly empty space, their electrons are too small to stop us. But, the probability
density clouds of the atoms push our hand back. Pretty effective, aren’t they?
German physicist Werner Heisenberg proposed uncertainty principle for the quantum
mechanics stating that position and momentum of a particle can not be accurately
determined simultaneously. If the position of the particle is accurately known, then the
speed and direction of the speed will have poor accuracy. This is because the measurement
itself changes the position or speed or direction of the particle. This is not obvious in the
macroscopic world around us. If we want to measure the length of a table with a tape, the
measurement does not change the length or position of the table in our acceptable measuring
capacity. In the case of electron, measurement becomes different. The very act of looking at
the electron with a super high power magnifier uses light made of photons. These photons
would have enough momentum that they once hit the electron would change its course.
Heisenberg wrote the uncertainty principle as:
ΔpΔx = h ………………………………. Equation 1
On the right side is the Planck’s constant divided by 2π. Momentum is represented by p, and
position (distance) is represented by x. The Δ symbols mean ‘uncertainty of’, not ‘change of’.
Hence, Δx is the uncertainty of position, and Δp is the uncertainty of momentum. Since h on
the human scale is extremely small, Δx and Δp are, for all practical purposes, zero in
everyday world.
The attributes of an electron are contextual [1] depending on how they are measured. An
example of a contextual attribute is the color of an object. If you go to a shop to buy a dress,
the color of the dress you choose will depend on the light in the shop. If the dress you choose
is white, but the light in the shop is bluish, then the dress will have the bluish tinge.
Moreover, if you are wearing tinted glasses, then the color of the dress will also depend on
the tint of your glasses. Hence, the contextual attributes of an object depends on the
environment and the person observing or measuring it.
Astrology
A strology is based on the idea that the cosmic events happening in the universe affect
the events happening in the Earth. The basic concept of astrology is that the planets
and zodiacs affect the health and energy of a person. By studying the patterns and
cycles of the planets and zodiacs, astrologers have gathered data thousands of years ago how
cosmic patterns and events affect human life. The planets and their relationship between
themselves and with zodiacs change constantly, but can be predicted accurately by
mathematical calculations. Thus by comparing the position of the Earth to the planets and
zodiacs, astrologers can explain the present event and predict the future.
The cosmic energies that we know so far are the protons of elements of the periodic table.
The dominant elements are hydrogen and helium along with other elements (lithium,
beryllium and boron) with a few like carbon and oxygen. These cosmic rays on their way to
the Earth are deflected by the electromagnetic field present throughout the galaxy. When
these cosmic rays reach the Earth, they collide with the atoms of the upper atmosphere of
4
923
the Earth releasing showers of gamma rays, X-rays and subatomic particles. There may be
other forms of cosmic energies reaching the Earth that are still to be discovered.
Our Sun is producing energy bursts continuously not only in the form of heat and light, but
as radio waves, ultraviolet rays, X-rays, and gamma rays. A solar flare is a sudden local
explosion in a particular region of the Sun’s atmosphere releasing intense bursts of X-rays,
ultraviolet rays, radio waves and energy particles [2]. A constant stream of electrons from
the Sun is responsible for the Auroras on the Earth.
The space surrounding the Sun and its corona is plasma. Each planet has a plasma sheath,
the size of which is determined by the difference between the electric potential of the planet
and that of the nearby solar plasma. The shape of the plasma is like a tear drop with the
pointed end facing away from the Sun. The Sun and all planets except Venus and Mars have
intrinsic magnetic field. There are strong “Dust Devils” in Mars which is a storm of highly
charged particles. The planets and their satellites very close to the Earth also act as shields
for the energy flow reaching the Earth. The effect of shielding of the Moon is particularly
strong for the Earth. Thus the cosmic energies reaching the Earth are also affected by the
solar system.
How these energies affect a person is still to be understood. One theory is that it affects the
biofield of a person. Modern science has confirmed that the human body is not just a
physical structure, but is also composed of energy field. This biofield or human energy field
(HEF) is the frontier of modern science, and the development of diagnostic and treatment
systems. Dr. Victor Inyushin [3] at Kazakh University in Russia has done extensive
research in the area of biofield and has suggested the existence of a bioplasmic energy field
composed of ions, free protons, and free electrons. The bioplasmic particles are constantly
renewed by chemical processes in the cells and are in constant motion. There is a balance of
positive and negative particles within the bioplasma that is relatively stable. A shift in this
balance causes a change in the person or organism. At the same time, some of this energy is
radiated into space. Dr. George De La Warr and Dr. Ruth Brown built instruments to detect
radiation from living tissues, and developed Radionics, a system of detection, diagnosis and
healing from a distance, using the human energy field. They took photographs using the
patient’s hair as antenna. These photographs showed internal diseases, like tumors, cysts
inside the liver, and cancers within the brain.
The biofield energy has been known in the past and has been called by different names in
different cultures, such as qi in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), ki in Japanese Kampo
system, doshas in Ayurvedic medicine, prana in Hinduism. The imbalance in the biofield
energy causes sickness and disease. This concept has been in the practice of many forms of
therapy, like acupuncture, qiqong, ayurvedic, homeopathy, and therapeutic touch.
Similarity between Quantum Mechanics and Astrology
L ike quantum mechanics, astrology is also based on probability. Astrologers have

collected data thousands of years ago how certain pattern of zodiacs and planets
provide certain attributes. Sun sign represents the zodiac that the Sun is in at the time
of a person’s birth. For example, the attributes of a person with Sun sign Aries is –
5
924
leadership, energy, aggressiveness, courage, confidence, arrogance and belligerence. It
does not mean that every Aries person will have these attributes. It means that the
probability of an Aries person to have these attributes is higher than other Sun signs. The
actual figure of probability is not quoted so far, but only be calculated statistically from very
large numbers of collected data.
The uncertainty principle of quantum mechanics applies to astrology as well. The Sun sign
of a person means that the zodiac of the Sun sign, the Sun and the Earth are in line. The
energy particles from the Sun sign zodiac and the Sun reach the Earth, and affect the people
born at that time. But, the energy particles on their way to the Earth can be impacted by the
electromagnetic fields and gravitational fields in the path, and the solar system as described
earlier. Thus there is some uncertainty how much of these energy particles can reach the
Earth. Similarly, there are some uncertainties on the attributes assigned to the Sun signs.
These attributes have been based on the collected data so far. How extensive the data
collection has been is not known and the attributes may change as more data are collected. If
the uncertainty of the energy flow is ΔE, and the uncertainty of the assigned attributes are
ΔA, then
ΔE ΔA = astrology error
As we see from Equation 1, the multiplication of the uncertainties of position and

momentum in quantum mechanics equals Planck’s constant divided by 2π. In case of
astrology, the values of astrology error and its constancy are not known. But, what is
accepted so far is that there is a margin of error in astrology analysis and prediction.
The contextual attributes mentioned in quantum mechanics apply to astrology as well. If the
astrology prediction is that a person is going to win some money, then for a poor person
living in poor neighborhood, winning $100 may be substantial and the neighbors might
congratulate him. But, for a rich person living in rich neighborhood, this amount may be
insignificant and will go unnoticed by the neighbors. Hence, the effectiveness of the
prediction depends on the environment and the observers.
Conclusion
"I think I can safely say that nobody understands quantum mechanics." - Richard P. Feynman, US
physicist.
No one has yet claimed to understand quantum mechanics, but it has been successful so far
in explaining the behavior of particles at the atomic and subatomic level. Einstein never
accepted the probability theory of quantum mechanics. His famous saying – “God does not
play dice”. He had constant debate with Niels Bohr about quantum mechanics, but they
agreed that somehow quantum mechanics explains the behavior of atomic and subatomic
particles.
Couldn’t the same thing be said about astrology? First thing that should be realized that
astrology is not certainty but probability. Second thing is that the astrology is based on the
data collected over a certain periods few thousand years ago. That data collection has not
continued; hence astrology attributes have not been updated. Astrology has not been
6
925
accepted as a science by the scientific community. In order to get astrology accepted as
a science, its basis should be similar to quantum mechanics – (1) duality of cosmic energies
as particles and waves, (2) probability, not certainty, (3) uncertainty principle of cosmic
energy flow and human attributes, and (4) contextual attributes.
The scientific basis of astrology should be how cosmic energies affect human biofield. There
are two limitations here. First, scientists so far know very little about the cosmic energies.
Our universe is made up of 74% dark energy, 22% dark matter, and 4% ordinary matter
consisting of baryons [4]. So far nothing is known about the dark energy and dark matter.
Second, very little is known about human biofield, although currently some research work is
going on. Until the study of human biofield is taken into mainstream scientific research, the
full effect of cosmic energies on humans will not be understood.

Reviews
Ernst Wilhem – Last year, 2008, was the launch date

of Saptarishi Astrology online astrological journal, which
for the first time unveiled a fraction of India’s astrological
knowledge to the entire world via the internet. Sure, there
have been and are other astrological magazines that have
revealed interesting principles of astrology, but these had
small circulation in comparison to Saptarishi Astrology
which was made available to anyone everywhere and
that for free. Saptarishi Astrology has made the vastness
of the Astrological Library of India available worldwide. In this first Saptarishi Astrology
book the finest gems from amongst the many gems to be found in the Saptarishi Astrology
online journal have been selected for you.
Starteller – These are some of the rarest articles ever found on Predictive Astrology. Some
obscure concepts that have been hidden for centuries are presented here. All articles are
exceptional; some of them demand re-reads and further research.

The Mayonnaise Jar

Contributed By
Carole McMechan, Canada
When things in your life seem, almost too much to handle,

When 24 Hours in a day is not enough,
Remember the mayonnaise jar and 2 cups of coffee.
A professor stood before his philosophy class

And had some items in front of him.
When the class began, wordlessly,
He picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar
and proceeded to fill it with golf balls.
He then asked the students, if the jar was full.

They agreed that it was.
The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured

them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly.
The pebbles rolled into the open Areas between the golf balls.
He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.
The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar.
Of course, the sand filled up everything else.
He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with a unanimous 'yes.'
The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table and poured the entire
contents into the jar, effectively
filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed.
'Now,' said the professor, as the laughter subsided,

'I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life.
The golf balls are the important things - family,
children, health, Friends, and Favorite passions –
Things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, Your life would still be full.
The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, house, and car.
The sand is everything else --The small stuff.

931
'If you put the sand into the jar first,' He continued,
'there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls.
The same goes for life.
If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff,
You will never have room for the things that are important to you.
So...
Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness.
Play With your children.
Take time to get medical checkups.
