Vedic astrology

Preface





I take this opportunity to thank the erudite reader and fellow astrologers for receiving my first book; namely, Maharishi Jaimini's Upadesa Sutras. While every effort was made to explain every stanza with umpteen examples, it was not possible to do complete justice and fully explain the ramifications of the various stanzas in a horoscope. This need to provide a holistic approach to Vedic astrology by combining the best predictive tools has been fulfilled in this book. The first 3 Chapters explain various tools and paradigms available in Vedic astrology as well as their usages. I agree that this list is quite exhaustive and the tools felt to be of general acceptance and easy to use have been added. There are certain tools that are taught traditionally in families having Jyotish tradition. I have given some very valuable methods of timing events which, it is hoped, would be of considerable use to all astrologers. For example, Jataka Parijatha gives considerable importance to 5th Bhava in timing death of native. Unless taught, it would be quite impossible for average astrologer to know how this is to be applied. One method would be to add Vimsottari Dasa years of Grahas influencing 5th Bhava, expunge multiples of 30. The remainder added to date of Sankranti (solar ingress of month of death) would give the date of demise. Another method is to take the strongest Graha influencing 5th Bhava and the death will occur in lunar day (Tithi) ruled by it. The fine timing of such events as death will be of considerable use both in birth charts as well as swearing-in charts of governments. A step by step explanation has been offered which would be of considerable use for the beginners as well as the most advanced astrologers.

Narayana Dasa



Any Udu Dasa system, be it the best Vimsottari or Astottari Dasa, is essentially a method of timing the state of mind as it is calculated from Chandr. It is possible that at times, native would be having many good things happening and yet, the mind would be disturbed. Thus in interaction of native with his environment, two independent factors come into play. One is the input from environment in the form of messages and influences and the other is the way individual perceives, processes and reacts to messages. Vimsottari Dasa gives working of the mind at a particular point of time and shows inherent ability or otherwise to interpret and the way native would receive these messages. However, a good astrologer should also have a predictive tool to determine messages that would come from environment. This is the key to Jyotish and is known as Narayana Dasa. Although I have explained Narayana Dasa in my translation of Maharishi Jaimini's Upadesa Sutras, there have been some responses that a more exhaustive explanation is necessary. This book has shown actual use of Narayana Dasa in many instances and if after this, the request persists, I would be most glad to oblige.

Is Jaimini different from Parasara?



Some sections of astrological community have tried to show that Maharishi Jaimini is different from traditional Parasari Jyotish and having been trying to either hide their ignorance behind this argument or having been cashing in this difference by showing that their Jaimini system is superior or by ascribing exclusive membership to this Jaimini club! We should take a cue from the most illustrious Dr. B.V. Raman who has always maintained that Vedic astrology requires a holistic approach and has authored many books including works on Jaimini, Parasara, Prasna, Tajaka etc. Jaimini has purposely refrained from starting a new school of Vedic astrology and has named his classic as Upadesa (advisory) Sutra (stanza). Time and again, he has referred to standard texts as Siddha's. It is obvious that Maharishi Jaimini has purposely underplayed his classic work to avoid any misconceptions that could arise in the future, and yet these have cropped up. It is my earnest request to astrological community to kindly refrain from showing the minor difference of views as difference of systems and to develop a holistic approach to Vedic astrology.

Misconceptions



A number of misconceptions have been found to exist even among some of the leading lights of today. While it is a well-known fact that 4th Bhava refers to formal education, some astrologers have been teaching that 5th Bhava deals with this! The fact is that 4th Bhava deals with education. 2nd and 11th from this Bhava have primary Argala (intervention) on it. Hence, 5th Bhava, being 2nd from 4th Bhava will intervene in its affairs and rules knowledge obtained by native due to this education. 11th from 4th Bhava is 2nd Bhava ruling speech and shows the speech training, languages and other skills acquired due to the education. Problems arise when modern day astrologer tries to propagate his own theories instead of trying to understand wisdom of the Seers. This book is an attempt to understand and apply the wisdom of the Maharishis and it is possible that in spite of the best effort, at places the explanation may be found to be inadequate. I shall be most grateful for the response of the learned readers and for their constructive criticism.

Introduction

Chapter I





Vedic Dasa system is the most potent predictive tool for an astrologer. Astrology, as is being practiced today in India, largely relies on Vimsottari Dasa that uses a 120 year cycle incorporating fixed periods for 9 Grahas including 7 planets from Surya to Sani and nodes Rahu & Ketu. Popularity of this Dasa system stems from its easy calculations, fixed unambiguous periods and recommendation of Parasara1. However, Kalyan Verma2 mentions results on the basis of Moola Dasa and in a similar fashion different authors have given importance to different systems. Brihat Parasara Hora Shastra lists a host of Dasa systems including Kalachakra Dasa which is now gaining some popularity among Indian astrologers. Again, in the use of Vimsottari Dasas, what is often overlooked is the riders. This results in incorrect predictions and remedial measures are quite off the mark. For example, Tara Dasa is a part and parcel of Vimsottari Dasa that is often overlooked to the detriment of Vedic astrology. Thus, it is necessary to first understand principles involved and then to pick up Dasas that are most universally applicable so that practicing astrologers could develop a certain amount of expertise in them.



Classification



First classification is on the basis of progression where those Dasa systems using Surya signs are called Rasi Dasas and those using lunar mansions (constellations) are called Graha Dasas. Progression could also be on the basis of Panchatatwas or of other divisions of zodiac. Second classification is on the basis of method of reckoning. This could be from Lagna, Atmakarak, Chandr constellation, starting letter of name, Surya's longitude in a Rasi etc. Third classification is on the basis of usage into Phalita Dasa (fruitful / event prognostication) and Ayur Dasa (longevity / health).



Udu Dasa



Among constellation-based planetary periods, Vimsottari Dasa (120 year) and Astottari Dasa (108 year) stand out as being of universal application. The sum of periods of luminaries equals period of the tutor (Guru) of Dasa system. Thus Graha Guru is Guru of Vimsottari Dasa (Surya 6 + Chandr 10 = Guru 16), while Sukr is Guru of Astottari Dasa (Surya 6 + Chandr 15 = Sukr 21). Other constellation-based Dasas suffer from a number of limitations and since they lack universality of application, they may be overlooked by practicing astrologers (details of Dasas can be had from Brihat Parasara Hora Shastra or any other standard text). However, in actual practice it will be seen that Vimsottari Dasa with Guru as Guru is the best constellation-based Phalita Dasa, while Astottari Dasa with Sukr (Sanjeevani Mantra) as Guru is the best constellation-based Ayur Dasa. Secondly, Ududasas are very helpful in pinpointing event while its occurrence will require confirmation from a Rasi Dasa.



Narayana Dasas



Narayana Dasas (alias Padakrama Dasa) comprising 3 types of Rasi Dasas for movable, fixed and dual Rasis in Lagna is the best Phalita Dasa. Dasas for movable Rasis are also called Chara Dasas (readers may refer to my book "The Upadesa Sutras of Jaimini" for details about this and others Rasi Dasas). Lagnadi Rasi Dasas (also called Sudasas) are generally used for timing finance, fortune, marriage etc. and are to be used in preference to Narayana Dasa, only when Chandr Rasi is stronger.



Ayur Dasas



Ayur Dasas can be classified on the basis of reckoning Dasa either on the basis of gestation / pregnancy period (where one Antardasa is equal to period of gestation) or on the basis of maximum longevity. Navamsa and Shoola Dasas are framed on the basis of one Antardasa being equal to period of gestation of a particular animal. For example, for human charts, gestation period (pregnancy) is for about 9 solar months which becomes Antardasa. 12 such Antardasas give Dasa of a Rasi at 9 years and 12 such Rasis give maximum longevity at 108 years. In this manner Shoola Dasas for all animals can be determined. Problem that naturally arises is estimation of period of pregnancy or "gestation" of inanimate objects and horary charts. For this purpose, maximum longevity is first considered and then periods distributed amongst Rasis. Now, maximum longevity of human being has been given by most standard texts as 120 years. If this period is equally distributed among 12 Rasis, Dasa of each Rasi will be 10 years and will be more than Navamsa / Shoola Dasa of 9 years or Sthira Dasa - average of 8 years. This is Sandhya Dasa of 10 year periods and is used when short, middle and long life is estimated in the ranges of 40, 80 and 120 years respectively (readers may refer to "The Upadesa Sutras of Jaimini" for longevity estimation).

Maximum longevity system finds its use in mundane matters like say, the swearing-in ceremony of the Prime Minister or such matters. For example, maximum longevity of the Lok Sabha is 5 years indicating that Shoola Dasas will have a period of 5 months for each Rasi (being one-twelfth of maximum longevity). Thus, Ayur Dasas require an intelligent application of mind. If, on the other hand, Udu Dasas like Astottari are to be used, these can be scaled down proportionately.

A correct assessment



A correct assessment of the initiating point for Vimsottari Dasa holds the key to timing events. Jataka Parijatha XVIII, 33 - 35. [Sanskrit Slokas] Strongest among the following: (a) Lagna star, (b) Chandr star, (c) "name initial" star, and (d) Chandr star at query, will furnish starting Vimsottari Dasa. Starting with Dasa of Lord of the strongest star and in order of (Vimsottari) constellation Dasa, erudite astrologers predict destiny of nativity. [Sanskrit Slokas] If Rasi containing Utpanna constellation (next stanza) be stronger than other 4 in preceding stanza, it is possible that events of life will unfold on the basis of this Utpanna constellation as the starting point. Ending of all Dasas will be difficult. [Sanskrit Slokas] 4th, 5th and 8th constellations from that occupied by Chandr be ascertained. Vimsottari Dasas are calculated from each of these stars (i.e. Lord of stars furnishes first Dasa). Dasa from 4th star is called Kshema, from 5th star is called Utpanna and from 8th star is called Adhana. If Dasas (at any point of time) have a common ending date for any Dasa, then this can show death. For short, middle and long life, 3rd, 5th and 7th Dasas respectively will furnish the death inflicting Dasa. Thus, excluding star occupied by Chandr at query, we have four possible constellations that can initiate Vimsottari Dasa. These are (a) natal Chandr constellation, (b) natal Lagna constellation, (c) name letter constellation, or (d) Utpanna (5th from natal Chandr) constellation. Whichever of these associates with Guru or Budh or Rasi occupied by constellation quarter is aspected by Guru or Budh gains the strength to furnish Vimsottari Dasas. However, Vimsottari Dasas from Chaturasra stars (4th & 8th constellation) are to be used for longevity determination only. Parasara (BPHS, 48, 207 - 209) teaches that Tara Dasas are also Vimsottari Dasas and are initiated by the strongest Graha in Kendras to Lagna. However, the nomenclature used is "Janma, Sampat, Vipat, Kshema etc." on the basis of constellation from Chandr. For example, if in a chart planets are present in all Kendras, Vimsottari Dasa initiated from Chandr star etc. will not yield satisfactory results. Strongest Graha in Kendras furnishes first Dasa. Thus, if Chandr is in Margasiras and Rahu, being strongest Graha in a Kendra furnishes first Dasa, it is called "Sampat Dasa", as Rahu owns 2nd star from Margasiras. However, such an ideal situation may not always arise and it is necessary to have universally applicable rules. Satyacharya (Saravali 41, 3) opines that first Dasa will be of strongest between Lagna, Surya and Chandr. This is followed by other Grahas in Kendras, Panapara (succedants) and Apoklimas (precedants) in the lines of Lagna Kendradi (Graha) Dasa. Kalyan Verma (Saravali 41, 4 & 5) endorses this view and adds that if Kendras (from Lagna / Surya / Chandr, whichever is strongest) are occupied by more Grahas, then the strongest will give first Dasa. If strengths are equal, then Graha having a longer Vimsottari Dasa shall furnish first Dasa. However, this scheme (of Kendradi Graha Dasas) is applicable only if at least one of Surya, Chandr or Lagna is strong (i.e. Budh [?]). If none of the three is strong, Vimsottari Dasa scheme given by the preceptors (like Parasara etc.) should be considered. Surya, Chandr and Lagna form the tripod of life. Jaimini (Upadesa Sutras) teaches that the stronger between Surya and Lagna shall be the governor of physical body. Hence Ayur Dasas should be initiated either from Surya or Lagna, whichever is stronger. Similarly, stronger between Chandr and Lagna shall be the governor of head. Hence Phalita Dasas should be initiated either from Lagna or Chandr, whichever is stronger. Thus, Vimsottari Dasa should be initiated from Lagna or Chandr ignoring other options of Utpanna (5th star), name star or query star. After choosing stronger between Lagna and Chandr, check if four Grahas are in Kendras from it. If so, then Kendradi Graha Dasa / Tara Dasa is applicable. If not, take the longitude of Lagna / Chandr in constellation and determine Dasa balance at birth for progression. If Chandr is in 8th / 12th Bhava either from Lagna or 7th, Vimsottari Dasas calculated from Chandr will not yield results unless a powerful Guru / Budh aspects.

Miscellaneous predictive tools



Besides Dasas, Vedic astrology employs a number of simple tools in the form of charts / diagrams called Chakra's. These include Astakavarga Chakra's, Sudarsana Chakra, Pataki Chakra, Kalachakra etc. Astakavarga is an elaborate scheme and should be studied from standard texts.

Sudarsana Chakra




Sudarsana Chakra is a circular depiction of zodiac in anti-clockwise manner with Lagna, Chandr and Surya at the top in three concentric circles. For example, draw Sudarsana Chakra of a native born on 7th August 1963, at 21:14 IST at 21 N 28, 84 E 01 (chart 1). Chart 1 - Sudarshana Chakra

Janma

Aroodha

Timing of events is done by progressing at the rate of one year for every Bhava from Lagna. However in reality, Guru progresses at the rate of one year per Rasi. Hence auspicious events like marriage etc. are timed by progressing from Rasi occupied by Guru or its 7th Bhava at 1 year per Rasi. Similarly, Sani progresses at 2 1/2 year per Rasi and inauspicious events can be timed by progressing at that rate from Rasi occupied by Sani. For example, let us time the marriage of native. Guru is in Lagna and progressed at 1 year per Bhava it will aspect / conjoin Sukr in 17th, 21st, 23rd, 25th, 29th, 33rd, 35th, 37th etc. year of life. Now, Sani is in 11th Bhava and is progressed at 2 1/2 years per Bhava from its natal position. In 17th year Sani will progress over natal Sukr while in 21st year it progresses over Kanya (natal 7th Bhava). In 23rd & 25th year Sani progresses over Thula and aspects natal Sukr. Thus, marriage is not possible in 17th, 21st, 23rd & 25th year. In 29th year Sani progresses over Dhanur and does not aspect nor conjoin natal Sukr. Thus marriage can occur in 29th year as per Sudarsana Chakra. Native was married in 1991 at the beginning of 29th year of life. Similarly other important events can be timed from their natural significators. Month and days of good / evil are timed from Surya / Chandr respectively. Sudarsana Chakra Dasa is also for one year per Bhava, Antardasas for one month per Bhava and Pratyantardasas for 2 1/2 days per Bhava. These can be learnt from standard texts like Brihat Parasara Hora Shastra.

Sarvatobhadra Chakra



Draw 10 horizontal and vertical parallel lines to obtain 81 squares placed in 9 columns and 9 rows. 28 constellations starting with Krittika and including Abhijit, the intercalary constellation, are placed in the outer squares excluding corners. Vowels are placed in 2 main diagonals excluding the centre. Consonants are placed in 2nd & 8th row and column and 12 Rasis in 3rd & 7th row and column. 5 Tithi types are placed in central cross to complete Sarvatobhadra Chakra (see Figure 1).

Figure 1 - Sarvatobhadra Chakra

1st, 6th & 11th Tithi are called Nanda; 2nd, 7th and 12th Tithi are called Bhadra; 3rd, 8th and 13th Tithi are called Jaya; 4th, 9th and 14th Tithi are called Rikta and 5th, 10th & 15th Tithi are called Poorna, both in bright and dark fortnight. Aspect of Grahas is considered from star where they are stationed. Surya aspects 14th & 15th star, Chandr 14th & 15th star, Mangal 1st, 3rd, 7th, 8th and 15th star, Budh 1st & 15th star, Guru 10th, 15th & 19th star, Sukr 1st & 15th star, Sani 3rd, 5th, 15th and 19th star. Aspect of natural benefics produces good results while that of malefics obstructs and causes problems. page ~ 10 ~




If Graha is in its regular motion, Vedha (sphere of influence / affliction) is on Samukha (opposite) star. If it is faster than normal next star has Vedha, while if it is retrograde previous star has Vedha. There are various other types of Vedha mentioned in traditional literature. For example, 1st, 4th, 12th, 13th, 14th & 20th star from Surya have Dakshina Vedha and any Graha in these stars suffers from this affliction. If Graha (except Rahu) is in 10th or 11th star from Surya, Dandavedha results in loss of court cases, punishment etc. Constellation occupied by Chandr is called Janma Nakshatra, 10th star is Karmakshatra (place of work), 18th star Samudayika, 4th star Jati, 7th star Naidhana (death), 12th star Dasa, 13th star Abhisheka, 19th Adhana (epoch / conception), 22nd Vinasika (destroyer) and 25th Manasa. Grahas stationed in these stars have a profound influence on concerned activities / events. Latha is reckoned from star occupied by Grahas. If natal Lagna star / Chandr star is in Latha of a transiting Graha, signification of transiting Graha suffers. 12th star from Surya counted in reverse, 3rd star from Mangal counted in reverse, 22nd star from Chandr counted zodiacally, 6th star from Guru, 7th star from Budh, 9th star from Rahu, 5th star from Sukr and 8th star from Sani counted in reverse is their Latha. If birth star is in Mangal Latha distress and financial losses are shown; in Sani Latha sorrow wounds and losses are shown, as abject poverty, loss of livelihood etc. are seen in Rahu Latha. Guru Latha shows troubles to relations and other close aides, while Budh Latha shows business losses, livelihood loss etc., as Sukr shows separation from spouse etc. Other results of Vedha etc. can be studied from standard texts. A Graha placed in a star afflicts / supports the letters (of name), Rasis, Tithis and other stars placed along its diagonals. Thus, a Graha placed in Poorva Bhadrapada star afflicts the letters , , , , stars i.e. Abhijit, Punarvasu & Chitra and Rasis Mesha and Vrishabha. In this manner, Gochara (movements of Grahas / transits) and especially of significators should be studied for timing events.

Saham



A Saham is a point in horoscope signifying a particular event in life. This is studied in addition to the concerned Bhava. While a Bhava may signify more than one event, Saham focuses on only one particular event. Kesava gives 21 Sahams while Neelakanta gives 50 Sahams. Some of important Sahams are listed in table 1. Grahas / Rasis influencing Saham indicate the period of fructification of the event indicated by Saham.

Note 1: If Lagna is not positioned between Minuend and Subtrahend, 30° should be added to the formula to obtain Saham. For example, in chart 1, let us calculate Punya Saham. Birth is at night. Punya Saham

Since Lagna (Meena) is in Rasis from Chandr (Kumbha) to Surya (Karkataka), 30° is not to be added. page

Note 2: Grahas / Rasis conjoining Saham or its Lord shall indicate the event signified by Saham. Grahas / Rasis having unobstructed Argala (intervention) shall support the event, while Grahas / Rasis obstructing Argala shall hinder events. For beneficial Sahams Argala should be stronger than the obstruction for good results.

Special Lagnas



Various special Lagnas like Hora Lagna, Ghatika Lagna, Vighatika Lagna, Bhava Lagna, Varnada Lagna, Pranapada, Arudha Lagna, Upapada etc. are used in Vedic astrology. These should be studied from Brihat Parasara Hora Shastra, Upadesa Sutras of Jaimini and other traditional Vedic astrological literature. There are other Lagnas like Shri Lagna (Jaimini Sutras) and Indu Lagna for deciphering wealth and prosperity. 

360° of zodiac is divided into 12 Rasis of 30° each and 27 constellations of 13° 20' each, starting from 0° Mesha. The details about Rasis and constellations should be studied from standard texts. Concepts and predictive principles which need elaboration are being treated in this book.

Yoga



Yoga means union and implies the coming together of two or more aspects of life. This could be favorable (Subha Yoga) or unfavorable (Asubha Yoga) depending on Rasis, Grahas and Bhavas involved.

2.1



Yoga Karaka



A Yogakaraka is a Graha capable of bringing good fortune to native because of the ownership of two favorable Bhavas of the chart including one trine. For example, for Karkataka Lagna, Mangal owns 5th and 10th Bhava and naturally links Bhava of name, fame, reputation and success with Bhava of authority, power and knowledge. Thus, Mangal becomes a Yogakaraka and Rasis / Grahas conjoined / aspected by Mangal will enjoy the benefits indicated by Mangal. The mere existence of a Yogakaraka does not guarantee Rajyoga in the chart. Instead, it indicates the possibility. Yoga occurs if Yogakaraka is conjoined, aspected by or exchanged Rasis with another beneficial Graha, i.e. there should be a relationship (Sambandha) between 2 or more Grahas to cause Yoga. Yoga can be of various types involving every concept of Chart 2 life. For example, for a Karkataka Lagna, Guru rules 6th and 9th Bhava and a relationship between Guru and Mangal can bring the highest Yoga called Dharma Karmadipati Yoga which ensures a lot of power, status, fame and fortune, as 5th, 10th and 9th Bhava are involved. Jaimini gives certain other yardsticks (like placement) for a more detailed prediction. If this Yoga is in 1st / 7th Bhava, it fructifies in later life and that too after enduring a lot of hardship and struggle. We find this in horoscope of Bhagwan Sri Ramachandra (chart 2) where Guru and Chandr conjoin in Karkataka Lagna, resulting in Gajakesari and Mahalakshmi Yoga. Jaimini (Upadesa Sutras) gives this as a combination for undying fame and Sri Ram is adored and idolized by Hindus as Dharma Avatar. Dharma Karmadhipati Yoga is along Lagna and 7th Bhava and indicated suffering and hardship before the beginning of Rajyoga. Sri Ram was exiled for 14 years which were spent in wild jungles when his wife was abducted. Aided by the apes (Mangal exalted in 7th Bhava is the cause of destruction of foes) and Sri Hanuman he was able to defeat the Lanka king Ravana and retrieve his wife. Subsequently he returned to Ayodhya to rule over India. Thus, in timing of Rajyogas, these subtle points should be borne in Chart 3 mind. Chart 3 - Bill Clinton (President of USA), 19th August 1946, 03:47 am CST, Hope, 33 N 40, 93 W 36. In chart 3, there are a number of Rajyogas and Maharaj Yogas. Just like chart 2, Chandr and Guru are involved in a Gajakesari Yoga, that too as Lords of 1st and 9th Bhava. However, the axis is 4th & 10th Bhava instead of 1st & 7th Bhava. There is a (relatively weaker) Dharma Karma Dhipati Yoga as 9th Lord Guru aspects 10th Bhava and 10th Lord Mangal aspects 9th Bhava. Jaimini teaches that Rajyogas occurring in 2nd & 4th Bhavas fructify early in life and the road to success is relatively easier. He became page ~ 12 ~

governor of Arkansas in 33rd year of age (1979) and President of USA in 46th year. Thus, Graha in 2nd / 4th Bhava can give Rajyoga or Duryoga in early life. While Guru gave early Rajyoga to Bill Clinton, Sani caused exile for Sri Rama by being in 4th Bhava.

Karaka



Karaka means significator. Grahas have natural, fixed and temporal significations called Naisargika, Sthira and Chara Karakatwa. Similarly, Grahas aspecting / conjoining special Lagnas become Karakas for the same (readers may refer to Brihat Parasara Hora Shastra, Jaimini's Upadesa Sutra and other standard works for more details). Hora Lagna signifies wealth and sustenance as Ghatika Lagna signifies power and authority. A Graha that aspects, conjoins or is Lord of Lagna and Hora Lagna becomes a Dhana Yogada, while a Graha that aspects, conjoins or is Lord of Lagna and Ghatika Lagna becomes a Rajya Yogada. If all three of Lagna, Hora Lagna and Ghatika Lagna are influenced by a Graha, it will surely be a Rajyogada.

Vipareeta Yoga



If Lords of two malefic Bhavas associate, a Vipareeta Yoga is generated. For example, if 6th Lord and 12th Lord conjoin, the enemy suffers losses and thus native gains. If this association also occurs in a Dusthana (3rd, 6th, 8th or 12th Bhava) then Vipareeta Rajyoga results. Similarly, if Sani becomes a Yogakaraka (e.g. for Vrishabha or Thula Lagna) and is placed in a Dusthana from Lagna, a powerful Vipareeta Rajyoga results, because Sani is a natural significator of 6th, 8th & 12th Bhava. Thus, placement of Yogakaraka for suo-moto generating a Rajyoga is dependent on its nature. Chart 4 Chart 4 - Karunakaran (ex-chief Minister of Kerala), born on 5th July 1918, at Chirakkal (near Trichur), India. Conjunction of Lords of 4th & 5th Bhava, Surya and Budh, results in a Rajyoga. Similarly conjunction of 11th Lord (Guru), 4th Lord (Surya) and 2nd Lord (Budh) results in a powerful Rajyoga and since this occurs in 2nd Bhava (and Grahas involved are natural benefics) it will fructify in early life. Karunakaran joined the "Quit India" movement at the age of 24 and gradually rose in politics. Lagna is Vrishabha and Sani owning 9th and 10th Bhava becomes Yogakaraka. Since Sani is placed in 3rd Bhava (Dusthana), a powerful Rajyoga is generated. Mahadasa of Sani was from December 1970 to 1989. He became Home Minister of Kerala in April 1977 and later Chief Minister, leader of opposition (1978 - 80), again Chief Minister (28th December 1981 to 17th March 1982). Thus, Sani was able to generate a powerful Rajyoga on its own by being in a Dusthana from Lagna. Such a Yoga is essentially a Vipareeta Rajyoga and benefics should not conjoin it, else their natural signification shall be destroyed. For example, if Vrishabha ascends with Sani in debility in 12th Bhava, a Vipareeta Rajyoga is generated. Now, if Guru conjoins Sani, native will lose his sons while simultaneously enjoying other benefits of Rajyoga. Chart 5 - P.V. Narasimha Rao (ex Prime Minister of India), born on 28th June 1921, 01:00 pm IST, 18 N 00, 79 E 35.

Chart 5

Sani is not a Yogakaraka for Kanya Lagna, but conjunction of Lord of Kendra (Guru of 4th & 7th Bhava) and Lord of a Trikona (Sani of 5th Bhava) generates a Rajyoga. Conjunction of Lords of 3rd & 8th Bhava (Mangal) and 12th Bhava (Surya) in 10th Bhava with both Grahas having directional strength generates a Vipareeta Rajyoga. Conjunction of Budh (Bhadra Mahapurusha Yoga ) has strengthened Vipareeta Yoga but damages Budh, indicating alienation by destruction of colleagues. However, during Dasa of Surya he became the Chief Minister, and during Mangal Dasa he became the Prime Minister of India.

Cooperation



Every Graha needs cooperation of others for giving good results. These cooperators or obstructers are called Pachak (literally "ripener"), Badhak (literally "informer"), Karak (literally "helper / doer") and Vedhak (literally "obstructer / piercing").

* G - Grahas taking natural portfolio of Pachak, Badhak, Karak and Vedhak. * B - Bhavas reckoned from individual Grahas (Surya to Sani) that act as Pachak, Badhak, Karak and Vedhak. Table 2 gives cooperators / obstructers for each of seven Grahas from Surya to Sani, as per Vyankatesh Sharma (Sarvartha Chintamani, I 119 to I 124). Pachak Graha / Bhava is inimical to Surya. 12th Rasi / Graha from Chandr is inimical to it. Vedhak Graha / Bhava is inimical to Mangal & Budh. Pachak Graha / Bhava is inimical to Guru as the Karak Graha / Bhava is inimical to Sani. Pachak is the ripener of a Dasa and normally gives career achievements, favor from superiors, education, many friends and acquaintances (popularity) etc. If also friendly to Dasa Lord, clothes, ornaments, ruling powers, wealth etc. are obtained. Some adverse results can be expected if Pachak is inimical to Dasa Lord. Bodhak fructifies the results of one's efforts. This is positive or negative, dependent on the natural and temporal relationship with Dasa Lord as well as cooperation relationship. Karaka Graha, unless very well placed, tends to give adverse results like diseases to family, theft, conflict etc. Vedhak, if friendly to Dasa Lord, shows troubles, change of residence, travel and loss of money. On other hand, if Vedhak is inimical, good results are felt. While analyzing results of Dasa / Bhukti it should also be borne in mind that Grahas in 6th, 8th & 12th from Dasa Lord act inimical towards it. Net result will be favorable / adverse, depending on whether Dasa Lord is adverse or favorable (i.e. Vipareeta Phala). Grahas in 7th from Dasa Graha always give adverse results. Other effects of Dasa / Antardasa should be studied from standard texts like BPHS, Sarvartha Chintamani, Jataka Parijatha, Jaimini Sutras etc.

Badhak

The term Badhak means obstruction. Rasi in 11th from movable Rasis, 9th from fixed Rasis and 7th from dual Rasis are their Badhak Sthanas (places of obstruction). Lord of Badhaksthana, called Badhakesh, is symbolic of Sri Ganesh (Vighneswara) and becomes the controller of success / failure. Table 3 gives Badhak places.

Rasi Dristi



For estimating the strength, as well as for reading the results of Padakrama Dasa, an important concept is that of Rasi aspect i.e. Rasi Dristi. (1) Every movable Rasi is aspected by 3 fixed Rasis except Rasi adjacent to it. In a similar fashion, every movable Rasi also aspects the 3 fixed Rasis except the one adjacent to it. (2) Every fixed Rasi aspects and is aspected by 3 movable Rasis except Rasi adjacent to it. (3) Dual Rasis aspect each other. Thus, Mesha, a movable Rasi, is aspected by and aspects Simha, Vrischika and Kumbha, i.e. 3 fixed Rasis excepting Vrishabha Rasi adjacent to it. Similarly, Vrishabha, a fixed Rasi, is aspected by and aspects 3 movable Rasis, Karkataka, Thula and Makara excepting Mesha, movable Rasi adjacent to it. Again, Meena, a dual Rasi, is aspected by and aspects Mithuna, Kanya and Dhanur. Grahas placed in these aspecting Rasis also aspect the aspected body. Thus, if Guru is placed in Mesha, Rasis Simha, Vrischika and Kumbha will be aspected by it due to Rasi Dristi. Readers should familiarize themselves with Graha Dristi (planetary aspects) and all other basics of astrology to appreciate Padakrama Dasas.

Argala



The term Argala is broadly interpreted as intervention and is unique to Vedic astrology. In day to day life, every activity, for whatsoever purpose, has intervention of a number of factors including men, material and money. These inter-relationships are quite inter-woven into complicated relationship which can only be deciphered astrologically through Argala analysis. The rules: (1) Every activity has a ruling Bhava called Karyabhava and a ruling Graha called Karaka (lit. "significator"). (2) Bodies (including Rasis and Grahas) in 2nd, 4th and 11th Bhava from Karaka of Karyabhava have direct Argala. That is, they have a direct say on the affairs concerning the significator. (3) Bodies in 12th, 10th and 3rd Bhava from the significator obstruct Argalas produced by Rasis. (4) Malefics (natural or temporal) in places of Argala cause Papargala, while benefics in such places cause Subhargala or beneficial intervention. (5) To determine stronger between Argala and its obstruction, the strength of concerned Rasis be examined as explained in para 4.4. (6) Bodies (including Rasis and Grahas) in 5th and 8th from Karya Rasi of Karak cause indirect Argala or secondary level intervention. (7) Bodies in 9th and 6th Bhava remove / obstruct Argala caused by 5th and 8th Bhava respectively. The relative Rasi strengths should be examined for conclusions. (8) An exception to above rules is that malefics in 3rd from the Karyabhava or Karaka cause Subhargala. 7th Bhava is undefined and can either oppose or harmonize.

An example To get acquainted with the concept of Argala, let use examine the financial prospects in horoscope of Mr. J.R.D. Tata (JRD), an industrialist of international stature. JRD was born on 29th July 1904, at 22:14 GMT, in Paris (48 N 52, 02 E 50 - chart 6). While a detailed analysis should be made Figure 3 - Argalas example from 2nd Bhava and significator, this is restricted to the significator who is more important. Dhankarak (lit. "wealth significator") is Guru and is strong in Mesha Lagna. 2nd Bhava, Vrishabha, a beneficial Rasi causing Subhargala, is obstructed by another beneficial Rasi, Meena, in 12th Bhava. Figure 3 - Schematic representation of Argalas on a hypothetical Karaka placed in Mesha. Argalas (A) and their obstructions (O) have been shown in suffix. Both Rasis are unoccupied. Vrishabha, a fixed Rasi, is aspected by Surya, Sukr and Sani in movable Rasis, while Meena, a dual Rasi, is aspected only by Mangal in Mithuna (a dual Rasi). Vrishabha is stronger as it is aspected by a larger number of Grahas (besides its Lord Sukr), indicating that Subhargala is stronger than obstruction. Since 2nd Bhava indicates net wealth accumulated, we may infer that net wealth is much larger than expenses.

Chart 6

4th Bhava from Guru is Karkataka with Surya and Sukr causing Subhargala which is obstructed by Makara with Sani in 10th. Since Karkataka has more Grahas than Makara, Subhargala is retained, indicating ownership of immovable properties. Aspect of Chandr (Lord of Karkataka) and Ketu (Grihakaraka) on Karkataka from page ~ 15 ~

fixed Rasi Kumbha render it very strong and gives many properties. 11th from Guru is Kumbha, a malefic airy Rasi with Chandr (causing Subhargala) and Ketu. It may be noted that for Padakrama Dasas, Ketu is a benefic. Hence, this Argala will be beneficial. Mithuna with Mangal in 3rd Bhava obstructs Argala, but obstruction is removed as the number of Grahas in Kumbha is more than that in Mithuna. This indicates the possession of movable properties. Chandr and Ketu in Kumbha (fixed Rasi) are aspected by Surya and Sukr from Karkataka (movable Rasi). While Chandr - Sukr aspect indicates vehicles of all kinds, association of Ketu (aerial direction) gives airplanes. Argala caused by 2nd, 4th and 11th and their obstruction are direct Argalas indicating visible wealth in the form of bank balance, movable and immovable properties respectively. However, Argalas of 5th and 8th Bhava are indirect Argalas indicating invisible wealth. Another important feature in this chart is that Grahas are placed in 4th and 11th Bhava as 2nd is vacant, indicating that JRD believed in the creation of wealth in the form of movable and immovable properties rather than mere accumulation of money in banks. 5th is Simha with Budh and Rahu causing both Subha and Asubhargala respectively. There are no Grahas in Dhanur and hence no obstruction. 5th deals with speculation and movable assets. Thus, native would be in possession of valuable shares, art and artifacts, furniture and other such miscellaneous items of wealth. 8th is Vrischika causing Papargala that is obstructed by Kanya, Vrischika (fixed Rasi) is aspected by 3 Grahas (Surya, Sukr and Sani), while Kanya is only aspected by Mangal. Hence, obstruction is removed and inheritance (and other forms of hidden wealth) assured. Aspect of Sani from 10th Bhava Makara indicates TISCO, steel industry of JRD's father. Around 1922 - 23, TISCO had already vastly expanded capacity to meet the world war needs of colonial India and after the war, saw a slump in demand and stiff foreign competition that threatened its closure (obstruction of Kanya aspected by Mangal did show up). However, aspect of Surya (Gov.) and Sukr (Patriots in Parliament, on 8th Bhava caused the historic Steel Industry (Protection) Bill to be passed in June 1924. 7th Bhava is beneficial Thula and tends to harmonize rather than obstruct. Thus, in this manner, Argalas and their obstruction should be examined. We can conclude that every Graha and Rasi, directly or indirectly, influence every other Graha and Rasi either by aspect or by Argala. An important concept emerging is that every Graha, directly or indirectly does influence the affairs of every other Bhava.

In order to study a horoscope, various charts including birth chart (D-1 Janma Chakra), Navamsa (D-9), Drekkana (D3) and other relevant divisional charts [Vargas] besides Arudha, Varnada, Upagraha charts etc. should be cast accurately. Position of special Lagnas, and especially Hora and Ghatika Lagna's should be shown. Karta, Kevala and Yogada should be identified and indicated separately. Similarly Atma and other Chara Karakas (temporary significators) in 8 Graha Chara Karaka scheme, considering the longitude of Rahu from the end of Rasi, should be shown in a table. The following have a direct bearing on the affairs of a Bhava and should be analyzed carefully to determine prevalence: Bhava, nature of Rasi and Grahas conjoined or aspecting. Lord of Bhava (called Paka), its strength and nature of Rasi wherein stationed. Dispositor of Lord of Bhava. Lord of Navamsa occupied by dispositor of Lord of Bhava. Arudha and Varnada of Bhava. The strength and position of fixed, temporary and natural significators of Bhava. Bhava as reckoned from Arudha Lagna and Varnada Lagna. Yogas (combinations) both good / bad in Bhava or wherein Lord of Bhava is involved. Argala (intervention) of other Rasis and Grahas as well as Virodhargala (obstruction). The prevalence should be ascertained. (10) The strength and influence of the concerned Sahams as well as a detailed scrutiny of the concerned divisional chart. Kalyan Verma (Saravali) (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) (7) (8) (9)

[Sanskrit Slokas] Divisional charts hold entire knowledge about the future of a horoscope, without which it is impossible to lay a step into astrology. There are various divisional charts prescribed in Vedic astrology. While most translators have interpreted the word "Dhanam" as "wealth" for Hora chart (D-2), yet not a single astrologer in the entire Indian subcontinent uses Hora chart for wealth. Trimsamsa (D-30) is distributed over all Rasis except Simha & Karkataka, whereas in Hora chart Grahas are placed only in Simha & Karkataka. Thus, if Trimsamsa deals with "Naidhanam" or "death & disease", Hora should deal with "Dhanam" or "life & health". In any case, this area requires considerable research. Chaturthamsa (D4) gives "Bhagya" or "fortune" and should include wealth of all kinds including immovable properties. Similarly, page ~ 16 ~


»  Chapter II - Birth time rectification


Kalamsa (D-16) should be understood as higher division (second cycle) of 4th Bhava (12 + 4 = 16) and deals with movable properties like vehicles, TV, fridge and luxuries of all kinds. Being a division in 2nd cycle it directly touches conscious mental plane and hence indicates happiness or sorrow. Since 12 Rasi division is primary division, it follows that all sub-divisions of Rasi will fall in a sequence that repeats after every 12 divisions. Thus, D-16 chart would be 1st harmonic (or second cycle) of D-4 chart (16 = 12 + 4) or a D-40 chart would be 3rd harmonic of 4th cycle of 4th Bhava (40 = 12 × 3 + 4). The harmonic is related to the plane of consciousness and determines the manner and extent to which the individual is aware or influenced by the environment that is being examined. 1st cycle covering charts D-1 to D-12 rules over the physical plane. It covers such matters as physical body (D-1), wealth (D-2), coborns (D-3), children (D-7), properties and fortune (D-4), spouse (D9), work (D-10), parents / elders / heritage (D-12), death (D-11), power (D-5) etc. 2nd cycle or 1st harmonic technically covers charts D-13 to D-24 and rules over conscious mental plane. Technically 12 charts are possible but Parasara has restricted the scope to 3 primary areas of mental activity, namely Shodasamsa (D-16) ruling over matters of general mental happiness, luxuries, vehicles etc., Vimsamsa (D-20) wherein occult studies, spiritualism, religiosity etc. are examined and Chaturvimsamsa (D-24) ruling Siddhi, i.e. accomplishment / skill in any branch of learning and including all vocational / professional studies. 3rd cycle (or second harmonic) covers charts D-27 & D-30 and rules over sub-conscious mental plane. Saptavimsamsa (D-27) shows the strength and weaknesses of the individual. Surya is the soul, Chandr the mind, Mangal the physical strength, Budh the speech, Guru the intelligence, Sukr the happiness, Rahu the ego and Sani represents the sorrow. The strength / weakness of these Grahas in Saptavimsamsa chart will indicate the strength / weakness of horoscope. 4th cycle (or 3rd harmonic) rules over spirit world and only 2 charts namely Khavedams (D-40) and Akshavedamsa (D-45) are included. The consideration here is for the ancestors and maternal (D-40 = 3 × 12 + 4) and paternal (D-45 = 3 × 12 + 9) are signified respectively. Thus, these charts indicate the fruits of Karma of ancestors that has befallen the destiny of native. 5th cycle (or 4th harmonic) goes beyond spirit world and into past births of native himself. Here the heritage of Karma of the individual is of great relevance and hence only chart considered is Shastiamsa (D-60). It is for this reason that Shastiamsa has the highest weightage in Vimsopaka scheme. However, amongst divisional charts, after Rasi chart (D-1), Navamsa (D-9) enjoys a primary place. Details on the use of divisional charts should be studied from standard texts. Upadesa Sutras of Jaimini gives considerable details on the use of Navamsa (D-9), Trimsamsa (D-30), Kauluka / Shastamsa (D-6), Panchamsa (D-5), Rudramsa (D-11) and Saptamsa (D-7). Readers may refer to my translation of the same. In divisional charts the focus is on specific Bhava under reference. For example, Dasamsa (D-10) is also called Karmamsa or Suarga Chakra (pathway to heaven). The focus is on 10th Bhava in that chart. Artha Trikonas (2nd, 6th, 10th) shall normally determine the choice of profession. 7th Bhava represents business and is Maraka (killer) to 6th Bhava representing service. 8th is Bhava of retirement from service as it is 11th from 10th. This is also Bhava of gambling, loans for business and inherited business / profession. 4th Bhava is the premises. 9th Bhava indicates the boss. If Lagna Lord is in 9th Bhava, person shall be quite independent or prefers to be his own boss. Thus, business is more suitable for such people. On the other hand, 5th Bhava shall represent followers or subordinates and if Lagna Lord is in 5th, native shall prefer to be a subordinate or be in service. Various rules in standard texts should be suitably interpreted in each of divisional charts.

Birth time rectification



However, for a proper assessment of divisional charts birth time should be rectified first on the basis of Navamsa, Dwadasamsa and other important divisions and then fine-tuned on the basis of Vighati (birth time) (Jaimini Sutra). Birth time from sunrise or sunset (for day / night birth) Chart 7 should be converted into Vighatis and divided by 9. The remainder, if a fraction, should be increase to next integer and counted from Surya in order of weekdays to obtain ruling Graha at birth. This confirms the sex as male, female or eunuch. Fine-tuning of the time should also be done by Kunda correction. Take longitude of Lagna and multiply by 81. Expunge multiples of 360°. The remainder should be in Trikonas to Janma Nakshatra (natal Chandr star) or Nama Nakshatra (name star). Chart 7 - male, born on 22nd / 23rd May 1955, at 30 N 21, 76 E 52, reported time between 01:30 am to 02:00 am (corrected 01:54 am IST). Native of chart 7 approached author to have his horoscope cast and reported the time of birth between 01:30 am to 02:00 am in the early hours of 22nd / 23rd May 1995. Thus, Lagna was in the range of 10R 28° 06'. Thus, there was no doubt about Lagna as native was of average height, slim and dark complexioned that fitted Lagna. First step in chart correction is to verify existing relatives and since the range Lagna for the given time spanned between two decanates, the question of coborns was taken up. Arudha Lagna is in Mithuna (odd Rasi - direct count). 11th Bhava page ~ 17 ~


»  Chapter II - Birth time rectification


has Sukr in Mesha indicating that native should be the eldest and elder coborns if any would perish. This was confirmed. 3rd Bhava is Simha aspected by Sukr and Sani from movable Rasis by Rasi Dristi. 3rd Lord Surya conjoins an exalted Chandr in Vrishabha and is aspected by Guru and Sani from movable Rasis. There will be many younger coborns and at least one will not have long life span (due to aspect by Sukr). This was confirmed. Drekkana Lagna could either be Mithuna or Thula. With Mithuna, Chara Bhratru Karak (BK) Sukr would be in 3rd Bhava indicating that first younger coborn will be strong. With Thula Lagna, Rahu would be debilitated in 3rd as 3rd Lord Guru would be in 8th from it. Sani, Mangal etc. would aspect 3rd indicating early death of next coborn. It was confirmed that the immediately younger co-born had died shortly after marriage (Guru is spouse significator for a female). Next coborn (5th Lord) Sani conjoins Mangal to show a brother. Next (7th Lord) Mangal shows a brother as 3rd coborn. Next (9th Lord Budh) shows a sister as 4th coborn, next (11th Lord Surya in Vrishabha) shows a sister as 5th coborn and next coborn. Details of reckoning individual coborns may be learnt from Jaimini Sutras. The sequence of coborns was confirmed by native thereby indicating 3rd Drekkana in Lagna (i.e. range of Lagna was shortened to Kumbha 20° to 28° 06'). There are three possibilities of Navamsa Lagna in Mesha, Vrishabha or Mithuna within the above range. Native informed that his wife had died after two children. Upapada (UL) is in Mesha with strong luminaries in 2nd. However, 2nd Lord Sukr is ill placed in 3rd from Lagna. Similarly, 8th Lord from Lagna (Budh) is severely afflicted by Mangal and Ketu, indicating accident and other dangers to spouse, as 8th Bhava and Lord are 2nd (Maraka) from 7th Bhava (spouse). To confirm the misfortune of early loss of spouse, both Grahas should preferably be placed in a Dusthana from Navamsa Lagna. Mesha Navamsa Lagna would have both Sukr and Budh in Kendras, and is not acceptable. Vrishabha Navamsa Lagna would have a preference over Mithuna as both Sukr and Budh would be ill placed, besides Mangal and Ketu would be in 7th to indicate the accident. Further, the Chara Darakarak (DK) Budh would be in 12th from 7th Bhava (first wife). Now, presence of Sani in Navamsa Lagna would indicate one who earns by own skill. Native confirmed this and Navamsa Lagna was fixed in Vrishabha, i.e. Kumbha 23° 20' to 26° 40' range. Now, this range of 23° 20' to 26°40' will include two Saptamsas, first from 23° 20' to 25° 43' and the other from 25° 43' to 26° 40' (i.e. Karkataka or Simha Saptamsa Lagna). With Karkataka in Saptamsa (D-7) in Lagna, 5th Lord (reverse count) is Guru indicating a male child in conjunction with Rahu. Similar is the case with Simha Saptamsa Lagna where 5th Lord (zodiacal count) is also Guru. Thus, first child should be a son and perhaps having many ailments. This was confirmed as first child is a disabled son. 2nd child is seen from 7th Lord. For Karkataka Lagna, 7th Lord Sani in Meena would indicate a son whereas for Simha Lagna 7th lordship would be availed by Rahu (instead of Sani being stronger) and in conjunction with a debilitated Guru would indicate a daughter. Since 2nd child is a daughter, the choice of Saptamsa Lagna was Simha (i.e. Lagna in the range 25° 43' to 26° 40'). Now, 2nd marriage is seen from 8th from Upapada and 8th from 7th Bhava (i.e. 2nd Bhava). Both Rasis and Lords are quite strong indicating a second marriage. This was confirmed. Similarly, the children from second wife are seen from 8th from 5th Bhava. In Saptamsa (D-7), 5th is Dhanur and 8th from it is Karkataka. Thus Karkataka shows first child from second wife and Chandr in Mesha (odd Rasi) will indicate a son as first born. 3rd from Karkataka (counted zodiacally as Lagna is odd) is Kanya and its Lord (Budh) conjoins Sukr to indicate a daughter as second child of second wife. 3rd Bhava from Kanya is Vrischika (continuing Manduka Gati) and its Lord Mangal, although debilitated, is in fruitful Karkataka to indicate a short-tempered and energetic son as third child from second wife. All this was confirmed by the amazed native. Birth constellation Minimum Lagna degree Kunda = 325° 43' × 81 Expunging multiplies of 360°, Kunda

= Rohini (4) = Kumbha 25° 43' = 325° 43' = 26383° 03' = 103° 03' (Pusya)

However, Kunda should be in Hasta (also ruled by Lord of birth constellation, Chandr). Thus, Lagna cusp should be increased by 40', i.e. at 10' per constellation from Pusya to Hasta - 4 stars. Lagna cusp should be rectified to 26° 23', for which the time of birth was 01:54 am IST. The final test of a corrected chart is its predictive value and the death of father as anticipated, and that too after a coma (7 days) did prove the accuracy of chart.

First, and perhaps the most difficult estimate in a chart is longevity. There are umpteen methods for estimating longevity in Vedic astrology. The views of the ancients were summarized by Kalyan Verma3 where a choice between Pirdayu, Amsayu and Nisargayu are recommended on the basis of Surya, Lagna or Chandr being the strongest respectively. If neither of the three is strong, method of Jeevasharma should be used. These methods can be studied from standard texts and, although of some relevance, have been found to give readings that can be quite off the mark. Besides, these are time consuming and require cumbersome mathematical calculations. Brihat Parasara Hora Shastra lists various methods of longevity calculation (BPHS, Chapter 45). Upadesa Sutras of Jaimini gives 4 important methods of longevity estimation. 3 of these have also been explained by Parasara etc. and have been found to be very accurate. These are as follows: (1) Methods of 3 pairs. (2) 8th Lord placement. (3) Method of 3 Lords.

Determination of longevity compartment

2.1



Method of pairs





This is based on 3 pairs of Rasis including (a) Rasi occupied by Lagna Lord and 8th Bhava4 Lord, (b) Lagna and Hora Lagna, and (c) Chandr and Sani. Movable Rasis have a high energy level thereby causing long life, dual Rasis have middling energy thereby causing middle life and fixed Rasis have low energy indicating short life. If both constituents of a pair are in the same Rasi type (i.e. movable, dual or fixed), life span shown by it is taken. Instead, if 2 Rasis are of different types, by the principle of exclusion, Rasi type not covered shall indicate life span. For example, 3rd pair is Chandr and Sani. If both are in movable Rasis, long life is indicated or if both are in dual Rasis middle life is indicated and if both are in fixed Rasis short life span indicated. If, however, Chandr is in a movable Rasi and Sani is in a fixed Rasi, Rasi type not covered (i.e. dual Rasi) shall indicate longevity at middle life. In this manner longevity indicated by each of the 3 pairs is to be ascertained. Now, if 2 or more pairs indicate the same category of longevity, then this should be taken as primary longevity of chart. If all 3 pairs indicate different categories of longevity, that indicated by the pair of Lagna and Hora Lagna at (b) above shall prevail. If, however, Chandr is in 1st or 7th Bhava, longevity indicated by the pair of Chandr and Sani at (c) above shall prevail. Having determined primary longevity, the position of Atmakarak in 1st, 3rd, 7th or 9th Bhava may be checked to ascertain whether Yoga Vipareetam is to function. This causes a dramatic change in life span from long life to middle / short depending on the placement of 8th Lord and vice versa. Simultaneously Kakshya Hrasa / Vriddhi and Rasi Hrasa / Vriddhi should be examined, on the basis of conjunction on Lagna / Paka Lagna and Atmakarak / Guru respectively. In this manner, Ayur Khanda (life compartment) at short (0 - 36 years), middle (36 - 72 years) or long (72 - 108 years) is fixed.

2.2



8th Lord placement



Determine stronger between 8th Bhava Lords from Lagna and 7th Bhava, i.e. Lords of 2nd and 8th Bhava. The stronger Graha becomes Rudra. Rudra placed in a Kendra (1st, 4th, 7th, 10th), succedent (2nd, 5th, 8th, 11th) or precedent (3rd, 6th, 9th, 12th) Bhava results in long, middle or short life span respectively. Similarly, 8th Lord from Atmakarak is called Maheswara (i.e. head or Rudras). Longevity is also seen from the position of this 8th Lord in Kendra or precedent Bhava.

2.3



Method of 3 Lords



3rd method is based on the placement of Lords of 1st, 10th and 8th Bhava (and Sani). If the three Lords are strong and well placed in Kendras etc., long life is indicated. If two of the three are strong, middle life is indicated and if only one is strong short life is indicated. If none of the three are strong life will be very short. If longevity of mother of native is being considered, treat 4th Bhava from Lagna as Lagna of mother. 1st, 8th and 10th Bhava are 4th, 11th and 1st from Lagna. The strength of these Lords will determine longevity.



Narrowing of longevity compartment



Having determined longevity compartment, it is now necessary to narrow down the same for predictive purposes. There are various Ayur Dasas which should be learnt from Jaimini, Parasara and other texts. First 4 Rasis represent 3 4

Kalyan Verma, Saravali [Sanskrit Slokas]. 8th Bhava is on the basis of Vriddha Karika. page ~ 19 ~


»  Chapter III - Pinpointing the period of death


Alpa Ayus (short life), next 4 Rasis represent Madhya Ayus (middle life) and last 4 Rasis represent Purna Ayus (long life). From among the 4 Rasis in a longevity compartment, the death inflicting Rasi should be carefully chosen keeping the following in view:

3.1.1.



Shoola Dasa



(1) More malefics in a Rasi render it stronger to kill. (2) A malefics Rasi is more capable of inflicting death. (3) Malefic aspects are worse than malefic conjunctions, while benefic aspect of Guru or Charakarak may prevent death. (4) Rasi occupied by Rudra or its Trikonas. (5) Rasi occupied by Sthira Karaka (fixed significator) or its Trikonas; 8th Lord from it or Trikonas; Arudha Lagna. (6) Rasi occupied by Maheswara. (7) Rasi conjoined / aspected by Chandr and Sukr / Mangal.

3.1.2.



Navamsa Dasa



The criteria for choice of evil Dasa is the same as that for Shoola Dasa except that evils are seen in 8th Bhava in addition to Dasa Rasi.

3.1.3.



Paryaya Dasa (alias Gochar Dasa)



Dasa of 3rd Rasi from Arudha Lagna or Saptamaroodha, Rasis aspecting these or its Lords shall give the period of death.

3.1.4.



Manduka Dasa



This is generally applied to Rudramsa (D-11 chart) as expounded by Maharishi Jaimini and begins from 11th Bhava. Death and defeat occurs when Dasa comes to Lagna or 8th Bhava or Rasis occupied by their Lords or its Trikonas. Various other Rasi (Ayur) Dasas have been expounded in Jaimini Sutras.

3.2



Jagannath's rule



This is based on the position of 8th Lord from Lagna. If 8th Lord is in 10th, 11th or 12th Bhava, death is in 1st quarter of longevity compartment. If 8th Lord is in 7th, 8th or 9th Bhava, death is in 2nd quarter; in 4th, 5th or 6th Bhava, death is in 3rd quarter, and in 1st, 2nd or 3rd Bhava, death is in the last quarter of longevity compartment. For this purpose 8th Lord is always reckoned zodiacally. For example, if long life (72 - 108 years) is indicated and 8th Lord is in 10th Bhava, death should occur in 1st quarter (9 years). Thus longevity is narrowed down to 72 - 81 years. This is a thumb rule and is subservient to Dasas.

3.3



Parasara's formula



This is normally applicable to the method of pairs. Take longitude of Grahas / Lagna / Hora Lagna that finally determines longevity. If two or more pairs finally determine longevity, longitude of all Ayur Yogakarakas (longevity determinants) should be considered. If determinant (i.e. Graha / Lagna) is at the beginning of a Rasi, it contributes in full, whereas at the end of a Rasi it contributes "nil". Thus, exact longevity should be fixed proportionately taking the average longitude of all determinants, irrespective of Rasis. Longitude of Rahu should be seen from the end of Rasi it occupies. For example, if Chandr (at 17° 05') and Sani (at 13° 22') determine longevity at middle life (36 - 72), determine the average longitude ((17° 05' + 13° 22') ÷ 2) at 15° 13' 30". Now, reduce this from 30° (30° - 15° 13' 30" = 14° 46' 30"). Divide the result by 30 and multiply by 36 (length of longevity compartment). Thus, Ayurdaya = (14° 46' 30" ÷ 30°) × 36 = 17 years 8 months 23 days. Hence longevity = 36 + 17-8-23 = 53 years 8 months 23 days. Readers should be cautious while applying mathematical models for Ayurdaya.



Sudarsana Chakra



After having narrowed down the period to the nearest decade or Dasa during which death is to occur, it is necessary to identify years when the same can occur. This is done by Sudarsana Chakra. For the purpose of pinpointing year of death, Sudarsana Chakra Varsha are seen from Lagna, Surya & Chandr, at 1 year per Rasi. Death can occur during the years ruled by Rasis that are either conjoined or aspected (Graha Dristi) by Sani. Sani aspects Rasis in 3rd, 7th and 10th from its position.

5



Pinpointing the period of death



Death can occur during Vimsottari Dasa etc. periods of the following: (1) Lords of 2nd or 7th Bhava or Grahas conjoining or aspecting them. (2) Lord of Lagna, 8th or 10th if weak and afflicted can kill native. page ~ 20 ~




(3) Lord of 3rd Bhava (8th from 8th) and Lord of 5th Bhava (8th from 10th) will only kill if other Maraka Grahas instigate them by being in conjunction. (4) Grahas in 2nd / 7th Bhava or aspecting these Bhavas or in 8th or 3rd Bhavas become secondary Maraka and can kill native. (5) Grahas conjoining or aspecting Sani or dispositor of Sani can be a secondary Maraka, as Sani is Ayushkarak. (6) Lords of 6th and 11th Bhava can kill provided Lord of Lagna is weaker than them. Jaimini call these Danda (6th Bhava - punishment) and Hara (11th Bhava - emancipation cause).

Step 1: Determination of longevity compartment. (a) Method of pairs

 Lg Lord + 8th Lord = Gu (movable) + Ch (dual) = short life  Lg + Hora Lg + Dhanur (dual) + Makara (movable) = short life  Ch + Sa = Kanya (dual) + Kanya (dual) = middle life Short life combination dominate. However, Surya as Atmakarak is in Lagna indicating Yoga Vipareetam, i.e. short life is altered to middle of long life, depending on position of 8th Lord. Chandr (8th Lord) is in a Kendra indicating alternation to middle life. Thus, the method of pairs gives a longevity of 36 - 72 years. However, due to Yoga Vipareetam, he lost his father and Guru at an early age. (b) 8th Lord placement 8th Lord Chandr is placed in a Kendra indicating long life. However, Sani conjoins Chandr causing Kakshya Hrasa and longevity compartment is reduced to middle life. Thus, this method gives a longevity compartment reduced to middle life. Thus, this method gives a longevity of 36 - 72 years. (c) Methods of 3 Lords Lord of Lagna and 10th Bhava is Guru which is moderately strong. Lord of 8th is Chandr which although placed in 10th Bhava is afflicted by Sani and shall not contribute to Ayurdaya. Thus, Lord of 1st & 10th Bhava (two Lords) indicate middle life span (36 - 72 years). Step 2: Determination of death inflicting Dasa. (a) Both Navamsa and Shoola Dasa begin from Dhanur. The middle life compartment is from 5th to 8th Dasas, i.e. Mesha to Karkataka. Mithuna aspected by Atmakarak and Vrishabha aspected by Guru may not kill. Mesha is not only a malefic Rasi as compared to Karkataka, but is also conjoined Mangal and aspected by Sani, besides being in Trikonas to Arudha Lagna (Simha). Thus, 5th Shoola Dasa is likely to inflict death. Hence longevity is reduced to 36 - 45 years. (b) Jagannath's rule 8th Lord from Lagna is placed in 10th Bhava indicating death in 1st quarter of the compartment. Hence longevity is at 36 - 45 years. (c) Parasara's formula Grahas determining Madhya Ayus are Chandr & Sani. Chandr + Sani = 17° 29' + 13° 50' = 31° 19' Average longitude = 31° 19' ÷ 2 = 15° 40' Thus, Ayur contribution = (30° - 15° 40') ÷ 30° 36' = 17 years 2 months 11 days. This indicate death in the end of 2nd quarter of Madhya Ayur (45 - 54 years) and is different from (a) and (b) above and should be rejected. Step 3: Having narrowed down the death inflicting period to 1st quarter of Madhya Ayus, it is necessary to determine the year of death. Sani is placed in Kanya and aspects Vrischika, Meena and Mithuna. Lagna is in Dhanur and is progressed zodiacally at 1 Rasi per year. Thus, three cycles cover 36 years, i.e. 37th year is again in Dhanur. Meena is 40th year, Mithuna is 43rd year. Similarly, Chandr is in Kanya and 37th year from it is again Kanya. Vrischika is 39th year and Meena is 43rd year. The final choice should be based on Vimsottari Dasa or Antardasa of Shoola Dasa. page ~ 21 ~

However, Atmakarak Sani is in Lagna indicating Vipareeta Ayur Yoga and longevity is reduced to middle life (36 - 72 years). (b) 8th Lord placement Guru, 8th Lord from Lagna is placed in 11th Bhava (Parasara) indicating Madhya Ayur (36 - 72 years). 8th Lordship is on the basis of Vriddha Karika and readers not conversant with this may refer to my book on Jaimini's Upadesa Sutras. (c) Method of 3 Lords Lords of 1st, 8th and 10th Bhava counted zodiacally are Chandr, Rahu (of Kumbha) and Mangal. Chandr & Mangal are fairly well placed in Kendra and in Simha in 2nd respectively. Rahu is ill placed in 6th Bhava in debility. Thus two Lords indicates Madhya Ayur (36 - 72 years). Step 2: (a) Determination of Dasa Shoola Dasas start from 7th Bhava and progress regularly. Madhya Ayur Khand is from Vrishabha to Simha. Vrishabha and Karkataka aspected / conjoined Atmakarak & Guru are unlikely to kill. Both Mithuna aspected by Rahu & Sukr and Simha conjoined Mangal and aspected by Chandr are likely to kill. Thus death is likely between 45 - 54 years or 63 - 72 years. Chart 10 (b) Jagannath's rule 8th Lord from Lagna counted regularly and as per tradition, is Sani. Sani is placed in 1st Bhava indicating death in the last quarter of longevity compartment, i.e. Ayur 63 - 72 years. Step 3: Sudarsana Chakra.

»  Chapter IV - Lagna


Primary longevity indication is at long life. However, Atmakarak Sukr is placed in 7th Bhava indicating Yoga Vipareetam, i.e. longevity compartment should be altered on the basis of 8th Lord placement. 8th Lord Surya [Sukr ?] is not in a Kendra indicating reduction to short life (0 - 36 years). (b) 8th Lord placement 8th Lord is placed in Panapara [? Sukr is in Kendra] from Lagna indicating Madhya Ayus (36 - 72 years). (c) Method of 3 Lords Lord of Lagna and 10th Bhava, Guru is debilitated in Rasi [Chakra] and also ill placed in 8th Bhava in Navamsa. Similarly Atmakaraka and 8th Lord Sukr is placed in debility in Badhakasthana as well in 12th Bhava in Navamsa. Thus all 3 Lords are very weak indicating that longevity will be even below Alpa Ayur and may be Yogaristha (8 - 20 years) or even Balaristha (0 - 8 years). For Balaristha Chandr should also be ill placed or afflicted. However, in this chart Chandr is in a Kendra in a friendly Rasi in Rasi [Chakra] and is also in Meena Navamsa averting the possibility of Balaristha. Step 2: Determination of Shoola Dasa For Yogaristha (8 - 20 years) the three Shoola Dasas are of Kanya, Thula and Vrischika. Dasas begin from 7th Bhava which is stronger than Lagna. Atmakarak is in Kanya as Guru aspects Vrischika and are unlikely to kill. Thula has a debilitated 8th Lord Surya (Vriddhakarika method) in 8th Bhava from Lagna (counted zodiacally) with Ketu. Ketu in death inflicting Bhavas indicates death due to a mistake. Thus, death due to Yogaristha is likely in the period 10 - 18 years. Step 3: Determination of death inflicting year is done by Sudarsana Chakra by counting from Meena at 1 year per Rasi. Sani is in Vrischika and aspects Makara, Vrishabha and Simha. Thus the death inflicting years could be 11th, 15th and 18th year. Girl died in 11th year due to an accident at home. Vedic astrology has provided excellent methods for determining longevity that should be applied in an intelligent manner. However, longevity of sages should not be predicted as, having conquered their senses and by the strength of their virtues, they have Iccha Mrityu (death at own will). Saravali [Sanskrit Slokas]. 

Lagna significations



Lagna indicates physical body, complexion, appearance, head, intelligence, strength and energy and represents native in all divisions, especially Navamsa (D-9). Satyacharya adds fame and reputation, success and status etc. to be judged from Lagna. Lagna represents the self. Lagna, Arudha Lagna and Varnada Lagna should be examined independently. The strength of these Lagnas, Karaka Surya and Chara Atmakaraka (temporary soul significator) are vital to chart. If Surya has unobstructed Argala on Lagna or if it obstructs Papargala then it shall favor native with status and fame. If Lagna Lord conjoins or aspects Surya (even by Rasi Dristi), a good moral character is vouchsafed and it gives a happy and sunny disposition. Similarly Atmakarak (Chara) having unobstructed Argala on Lagna or obstructing Papargala gives good health and a blessed life. Instead, if Atmakarak is ill placed or obstructed, horoscope is marred. Similarly, the position of Surya and Chara Atmakarak should be seen from Arudha Lagna to determine status and position of native. A similar judgment from Varnada Lagna gives his relative position in his community. However, Varnada Lagna plays a vital role in matters concerning health and death.

Chart 11 is horoscope of 1st Prime Minister of India. Lagna is Karkataka in Rasi (D-1) chart and Kumbha is Navamsa. Karkataka made him sensitive emotional, novel, affectionate and a good planner with a good sense of value and economy while Kumbha made him strong willed, intelligent and scientific in his outlook. He was a good author and produced great gems like 'Discovery of India' etc. He had a strong memory, a good education with higher studies in a foreign land etc. Lord of Lagna (viz. Chandr) is in Lagna producing intelligence and setting the stage for a Mahapurusha Yoga due to the blessings of Surya god. Rasi dispositor of Chandr is Chandr itself reinforcing Mahapurusha Yoga while constellation is Aslesha ruled by Budh (Vimsottari Dasa scheme). Budh is in 4th Bhava with 4th Lord Sukr (Malavya Mahapurusha Yoga) and indicating the blessings of parents, properties, education, charm and working with a missionary zeal. He belonged to one of the most elite families of British India. His father Sri Moti Lal Nehru was a great lawyer with vast properties, vehicles etc. and played a crucial role in guiding his fortunes. What was the activity requiring missionary zeal? We find infamous Kalamrita Yoga in horoscope with Ketu (rebellion, revolt) in the lead that is destroyed by Guru's conjunction to form Mahapadma Yoga. He was a zealous freedom fighter and had to undergo imprisonment a number of times before finally freeing India and becoming 1st Prime Minister. Lagnesh Chandr is also Atmakarak setting the stage for selfactualization and is in Guru Navamsa activating Mahapadma Yoga. Being in Lagna, Rajyoga will function only in latter life. Surya in 5th Bhava also indicates that middle part of life will be very difficult and that a child (Indira Gandhi) will have powerful Rajyogas. Lagna has unobstructed Argala of Surya. Varnada Lagna in 2nd Bhava is in Simha confirming Rajyogas. Arudha Lagna is in Mesha as its Lord Mangal is in 6th from it showing that status in life will not be easily achieved and that enemies would have to be overcome. However, Mangal aspects Arudha Lagna to indicate ultimate success. Sani and Rahu cause Papakartari Yoga on Lagna indicating defeat and bondage as well as loss of reputation.

* Periods considered from Rahu / Ketu respectively.

Narayana Dasa Rasi should be treated as Lagna. If Dasas are reckoned from Lagna, then Dasa Rasi itself be treated as temporary Lagna. If instead Dasas are reckoned from 7th Bhava, 7th from Dasa Rasi should be treated as temporary Lagna. In chart 11, Lagna is stronger than 7th Bhava. Narayan Dasas are given in Table 4. Ghatika Lagna is in Vrishabha and is aspected by Makara, Thula and Karkataka. Ghatika Lagna represents power and authority to be welled and is vital in horoscope of a politician. Makara has powerful Mahapurusha Yogas in Kendras, Rahu in 6th Bhava giving victories, Mangal in 9th giving energy. Antardasas begin from Simha (occupied by Sani) and are not regular but jump to every sixth Bhava. In general, Antardasas beginning from Sani should be regular, but not in Simha as Sani can not dominate over Surya. During Makara - Karkataka (Oct. 1929 - Mar. 1930) Nehru became the president of Indian National Congress and declared complete independence as the goal (Chandr as Lagnesh in Lagna very independent and free). Note Guru - Ketu / Mahapadama Yoga in Dhanur. On 26.01.1930, Chandr was in Dhanur in Mula (Ketu) star. Similarly the famous Dandi March started in 12.03.1930 when Chandr was in Karkataka. This period was vital in bringing Nehru to the center stage of national politics. Imprisonment occurred in next Antardasa Makara Dhanur (Mar. 1930 - Aug. 1930) as Rahu is in Badhak and luminaries occupy 8th & 12th Bhava. Dhanur houses the "rebel" combinations aspected by Mangal and Rahu. The subsequent Dhanur Dasa (1931 - 1943) generally saw a tough struggle with Nehru becoming President of INC in 1936 (Dhanur - Vrischika) and 1937 (Dhanur - Karkataka) due to the strength of luminaries and Rasis either aspecting Ghatika Lagna or 7th from it. Dasa of Thula (1944 - 1956) was the period of Rajyoga as it houses Malavya Yoga, Budh (star dispositor of Lagnesh) and aspects Ghatika Lagna while being in 7th from Arudha and Hora Lagna. In Thula - Vrischika Nehru became head of the Interim Cabinet (Sep. 1946) and finally secured the Independence of India in Thula - Dhanur. Both Mahapadma Yoga and Guru Chandala Yoga functioned simultaneously as one gave independence to India and made Nehru its 1st Prime Minister while other partitioned the sub-continent causing rioting and mass slaughter. The most affected were 2 areas of Guru viz. Punjab (Dhanur) and Bengal (Meena) as well as Delhi. Although his political mentor Gandhiji passed away in next Antardasa, star of Nehru (viz. Chandr) was in 10th Bhava (success) up to 1956. The subsequent Dasa of Kanya with Mangal saw his popularity decline and his death. Thus, Lagna (and its movement as per Narayan Dasas) plays a key role in delineating major events / trend of chart.

Chart 12

B: Astrologer Chart 12 - male, born 23rd January 1960, at 12:32 pm IST, at 26 N 29, 80 E 21. Chart 12 has Mesha rising in Rasi chart and Vrischika Navamsa Lagna. Martian features are pronounced. However, Lord of Janma Vighati is Surya placed in Makara indicating male birth, of dark complexion. (For Vighati Graha, refer to Jaimini's Upadesa Sutras: Stanza 4.3.3 to 4.3.12). Lagna Lord Mangal is in 9th Bhava with Lords of 2nd, 7th, 8th, 9th 10th, 11th & 12th indicating mixed influences with those of Sani predominating as it is Atmakarak. Navamsa Lagna is also aspected by Atmakarak Sani indicating that native will develop skill and proficiency in a traditional field. He is a good astrologer. Surya in 5th from Navamsa Lagna gives him government service but with debilitated Budh much rise is not promised. Arudha Lagna is Simha and its Lord is in a Sani's Rasi afflicted by Rahu and Budh. Budh as 2nd Lord from Arudha Lagna is in debilitated Navamsa and is also combust. Native, of and on develops fevers, stomach and skin problems especially during Budh sub-sub-periods. Aspect of Guru on Lagna, Arudha Lagna and conjunction with Lagnesh Mangal does give recovery and protection.

Chart 13

Lagna in 2nd half of Mesha does indicate a darker complexion. Native is of short to medium stature, stocky and well built, and on the heavier side with a muscular physique.

C: Singer Chart 13 - Lata Mangeskar, born on 28th September 1929, at 10:32 pm IST, at Indore, 22 N 43, 75 E 51. Chart 13 is horoscope of the melody queen of India who has to her credit the largest number of recorded songs. Guru rising close to the cusp of Lagna does give a melodious voice. She is of short stature, full face with small eyes and a short neck. The face is lustrous. She was slimmer in youth. She is a very good artist and is determined, practical and elegant. Almost all physical and mental attributes of Rasi Vrishabha are to be found in this chart as Sukr also dominates Arudha Lagna and the Atmakarak Guru is in Vrishabha. Guru conjoining Lagna both in Rasi and Navamsa gives brilliance which is seen in her music. Chandr in 5th from Navamsa Lagna produces a good singer. Certain, leonine traits of pride, leadership, cheerful jovial disposition, responsible & dutifulness etc. are also seen due to Navamsa Lagna. In general, the health is good as Atmakarak Guru is in Lagna both in Rasi and Navamsa. Chart 14

D: Dancer Chart 14 - female, born on 7th April 1991, at 02:06 pm IST, at Cuttack, 20 N 29, 85 E 52, Surya rise 05:35 am IST. Birth Vighati in chart 14 is 1277.5 (or 1278) and the reminder on division by 9 is zero or nine itself. 9th Graha is Ketu indicating a female birth. Ketu is in Karkataka with exalted Guru indicating a very beautiful girl of very fair complexion and intelligence. Parivartan Yoga between Chandr and Guru in 6th and 1st Bhava causes Rajyoga both for self and father (Guru is also 9th Lord). Negative effects of Lagna Lord in 6th Bhava are destroyed due to Parivartan Yoga. page ~ 28 ~




She has a round face, very fair complexion, small nose and delicate features from Karkataka that blend with good height, openheartedness and good bearing of Dhanur & Meena (Navamsa Lagna). Arudha Lagna is Vrishabha aspected by an exalted Guru as its Lord Sukr conjoins Budh (theatre and dance). She has learnt Odissi dance at a very young age and has been giving various stage performances.

E: Entrepreneur Chart 15 - male, born on 3rd November 1945, at 03:15 pm IST, at 16 N 32, 80 E 36.

Chart 15

 Atmakarak: Sukr In chart 15, Lagna Lord Guru is in 7th Bhava in the company of debilitated Sukr. Arudha Lagna is in Dhanur and its Lord Guru conjoins debilitated Sukr in 7th Bhava showing birth in a lower class family. Since Guru is in a Kendra, Sukr attains Neechabhanga (cancellation of debility). Thus negative aspect of wasting away life and roaming around due to Lagnesh in 7th shall not apply and dramatic rise would occur after marriage. Rasi dispositor of Lagna Lord, viz. Budh, is 7th Lord in 9th Bhava ruling higher education. Dasa of Guru brought about marriage with the daughter of an industrialist, and with his blessings M.S. and Ph.D. in engineering from U.S.A. Now, he has established himself as a man of Crores by manufacturing HV instruments. Dasa of Sani, conjoining Yogakarak Mangal has only added to his fortunes. Thus, Lagna plays crucial role in making or marring a chart.

Chart 16

Chart 16 - male, born on 12th November 1934, 06:14 pm IST, at Cuttack, 20 N 29, 85 E 52. Vrishabha rises in chart 16 in Vargottama Navamsa (i.e. occupying same Rasi in Navamsa). Native is of middle stature, fair complexioned, small eyes and is very intelligent. Lagna Lord is in 6th Bhava in its own Rasi. Its Rasi dispositor Sukr is also in 6th as its constellation (Visakha) dispositor Guru is also in 6th Bhava indicating the danger of enmity and strife in his life. However, during the periods of Lagna Lord (or its dispositors) the enemies will be vanquished. During Vimsottari Dasa - Antar of Guru - Sukr, native had a ten Crore industry in 1982. Narayan Dasa of Mithuna, in spite of its faults of Sani, Rahu and Chandr in 8th had the powerful 4 Graha conjunction involving various Rajyogas, Parijatha Yoga etc., in 5th Bhava. This resulted in the establishment of the ten Crore fastener project. With the advent of Dasa Makara, the entire tide turned against him as Rasi is very severely afflicted and native spent a decade in litigation with Government, taxmen etc. Finally in 1994 in Makara - Thula he paid the committed tax and peace came, although no happiness. However, since 9th Lord and Atmakarak Sani was in Rasi, native was destined to see two grand-children in Makara Kanya and Makara - Vrischika (Antardasas from Sani in Makara are reckoned zodiacally and regularly). Going back, Dasa of Vrishabha was poverty stricken with Sani, Rahu & Chandr in 9th Bhava. Next Dasa of Dhanur saw him struggling for his education and, thanks to the unobstructed Argalas by all Grahas, he did rise. The unobstructed Argala of Chandr and Rahu saw him swimming for his life during two flash floods. During Karkataka Dasa he graduated with superb marks and a scholarship. Dasa of Kanya (22 - 33 years) was the golden period. He joined Government service and was married in Kanya - Kumbha (Kumbha has Darapada). 1st son was born page ~ 29 ~

Meena is 5th, Vrishabha 7th and Karkataka 9th from Mantraroodha representing 1st, 2nd and 3rd son respectively. In Kanya - Vrishabha native was awarded a Gold medal by the Vice President of India for his brilliant work at the Kiriburu mines, as should be expected under the directions of 5th and 1st Bhava since conjunction of Lords of 1st and 5th Bhava constitutes a Rajyoga (Jaimini Sutra). Thus the results of good or bad Yogas of Lords of Bhavas fructifies during the periods of Rasis when rising in Narayan Dasa. Similarly the inherent weaknesses of a chart like Lagna Lord in 6th Bhava would show during the periods of Rasis having Naisargika Karaka Sani or aspected by it. Chart 17

F: Film stars Chart 17 - Amitabh Bachchan. Chart 17 is a horoscope of the most famous name in Bollywood - Amitabh Bachchan. Kumbha rises with Ketu in it aspected by Sani to give a slim, bony and tall figure. 2nd Lord from Lagna Guru, is exalted and aspects Lagna and Arudha Lagna in Vrishabha (Rasi Dristi). 2nd from Budh has Chandr in 9th Bhava indicating that the voice will be his source of good fortune. Sukr, Lord of Arudha Lagna is debilitated in Kanya indicating there will be many difficulties before marriage (Sukr) and fortune (Lord of AL) smile at him. Lord of Arudha Lagna conjoins Mangal (indicating courage to face obstacles and success in competitions), Surya (indicating success and fame) and exalted Budh (indicating acting / dancing talent). Neechabhanga Rajyoga of Sukr (indicating personal rise) can be brought about either by Guru or Budh if they are strong in Kendras to Lagna or exalted. Both Guru and Budh are exalted, but in Dusthanas.

Narayan Dasa of Vrishabha forming a part of Sarpa Yoga (3 malefics in Kendras without benefics) shows tremendous suffering (26 - 29 years). The next Dasa of Thula saw him enter into the film industry. Chandr in Thula aspects Lagna, Arudha Lagna and Lagna Lord to ensure fame and great popularity among the masses. Exalted Guru is also in Kendra from Thula to give Neechabhanga Rajyoga for Sukr, ensuring marriage, children, finances, properties etc. The next Dasa of Meena from 1981 to 1990 not only saw him as a superstar but also brought him into parliament and politics (malefics Sani and Rahu are in 3rd from Dasa Rasi). Exalted Budh is in a Kendra as Guru Lord of Meena is exalted to indicate Neechabhanga Rajyoga. Next Dasa of Simha (1990 - 2001) has, so far, proved to be disastrous as it is a part of Sarpa Yoga. His best friend, ex Prime Minister Mr. Rajiv Gandhi was assassinated and now another well-wisher Princess Diana has passed away. His attempts at mega production movies (Guru in 12th from Dasa Rasi) like Shehenshah and Mrityudata have bombed at the box office and his huge TV company ABCL is also struggling. Next Dasa will be better. Remedial measures to remove Sarpa Dosha are advised. Chart 18 Chart 18 - Raj Kapoor. In chart 18 Arudha Lagna is in 10th Bhava indicating fame. Lord of Arudha Lagna, Mangal is in a dual Rasi Meena aspected by Surya and Budh (Rasi Dristi). As explained earlier in chart 17, this is a specific combination for success in movies and theatre. Since Guru conjoin this ability / knowledge could be inherited and it was since Raj Kapoor took after his actor father Prithviraj Kapoor and dominated Bollywood for a long time. His acting talent and genius won him many accolades. Strong jupiterian influence on the combination shows his choice of romantic themes and "good samaritan image". This is in contrast to Amitabh Bachchan (chart 17) dominant Mangal influencing Budh giving him the "angry young man" image.

Chart 19

G: Nobel laureates Chart 19 - Mother Theresa, born on 27th August 1910, at 05:30 pm, at Skopje, 44 N 47, 20 E 37.

 Hora Lg: 04-22-53  Ghatika Lg: 11-05-53 Mother Theresa alias Aghes Gowxna Bojaxhiu was born in Yugoslavia to migrant parent from Albania as would be indicated by debilitated Lagna Lord Sani. Sani is also debilitated in Arudha Lagna indicating that she will be a renunciate. She suffered calamities in early life when 3rd Dasa of Rahu started (i.e. birth was in Chandr Dasa) and came to India at 18 years of age just when Vrischika Narayan Dasa started (17 - 26 years). During Vrischika and Thula Dasas up to 1945 she was busy teaching at Entally in Calcutta which coincided with the end of Rahu Dasa. 4th Dasa (beneficial) was of Guru in 9th Bhava with exalted 9th Lord Budh. Thus Guru will give the results of Budh and since it aspects Lagna will give high morals, great reputation and lifetime achievements. This coincides with Kanya Narayan Dasa 1945 - 1957, during which she established the Missionaries of Charity. It may be noted that benefics in 3rd and 6th Bhava from Arudha Lagna do not produce cowardice, but instead show renunciation and charity and a peace loving disposition. In charts of all great saints like Mother Theresa, Swami Vivekananda etc., Guru and other benefics will surely be in 3rd or 6th from Arudha Lagna indicating non-attachment for material wealth and charitable disposition. Since long life is indicated, as per canons on Dasa, death should be expected in 7th Vimsottari Dasa. With the advent of 7th Dasa (Ketu) in 1996 the health deteriorated drastically and she passed away in Ketu Dasa - Sukr Bhukti in 1997. Ketu and Sukr are in Badhak and 7th Bhava from Lagna respectively, and in 8th Bhava from AL as Sukr owns 2nd & 7th Bhava from AL. Although Mother has been given a number of awards, the highest was the Nobel prize for peace (10th December 1979). This should be expected during the periods of Rasis / Grahas positively influencing Lagna / A1. Sani is debilitated in AL, is Lord of Lagna and attains Neechabhanga Rajyoga due to the presence of Sukr in a Kendra both from Lagna and AL. Dasa of Mesha Narayan was from 1978 - 1982 and shows Neechabhanga Yoga for fame, recognition etc. during its period. Ghatika Lagna is in Meena aspected by other dual Rasis. She was awarded the Nobel Prize during Mesha Dasa - Dhanur Bhukti. Sani although debilitated is retrograde (Neechabhanga) showing that she will have the divine power of Kali Mata to uplift the poor and wretched. In her death poor and desolate have lost their divine mother, but there are others who will continue the wonderful work she has begun as Lord of Arudha Lagna (Mangal) is strongly conjoined Surya in Simha in 8th Bhava - she will live beyond death. 

2nd Bhava significations



2nd Bhava deals with wealth including cash balance, assets of all kind etc., family, eyes (Parasara), mouth / face, voice / speech and food. While Lord of 1st Bhava is akin to Brahma (creator), Lord of 2nd Bhava is akin to Vishnu (sustainer) and Lord of 7th is akin to Rudra (destroyer). 2nd Bhava from Arudha Lagna deals with the sustenance of Yogas while 2nd Bhava from Upapada or 7th Bhava will deal with the sustenance of marriage. The natural significator of this Bhava is Guru the sustainer in astrology, and for this reason is said to represent Mahavisnu or the family deity. Hora Lagna (which moves twice as fast as Lagna) is the wealth point of horoscope and is also examined with Lagna for determining longevity. 2nd Bhava from Budh should also be seen for voice.

Grahas in 2nd Bhava

2.2.1.





Concept of Argala



In order to understand the effects of Grahas the concept of Argala should be applied. If Surya is in 2nd Bhava, native will have a good income since Surya in 2nd has Argala on 11th Bhava. Similarly Surya in 2nd gives good food to sustain Lagna. However, being a mild natural malefic Surya in 2nd Bhava will also have Argala on 12th Bhava ruling expenditure. Hence, native will spend lavishly, sometimes even beyond his means. If instead Sani, another malefic was in 2nd, it will also have Argala on 11th, 12th and 1st Bhava. However, results will be quite different as significator of 11th Bhava is Guru and Papargala of Sani will make income a herculean task. Since Sani is significator of 12th Bhava, the expenditure will he high and on unwanted causes and since its enemy Surya is significator of 1st Bhava, it will surely kill without hesitation and will delay food / eating timings or the food consumed may be putrified. In this manner the effects of Grahas in 2nd Bhava should be understood. page ~ 31 ~



2.2.2.




Disposition



Next point to be seen is disposition of Graha / Rasi. If Chandr is in 2nd Bhava native shall have great wealth. However, if Chandr has malefic aspects of Surya or Mangal there will be instability in the income. Aspect of nodes could destroy all wealth and cause penury. Aspect of Sani could completely deny income and native may go begging. If Chandr is waxing the income will increase, while a waning Chandr shows gradual reduction in stored wealth. Aspect of Sukr will give Dhanayoga (wealth), while that of Guru will remove all evils. The nature of aspects will also vary according to Rasis. Surya's aspect on Simha or of Sani on Kumbha is good for Rasi. If a strong Guru is in 2nd Bhava, a Dhanayoga results. This is in contrast to the dictum "Karaka Bhava Hrasya", i.e. a significator placed in Bhava destroys it. A lot will depend on disposition of significator. Mangal aspecting Guru gives a powerful Dhanyoga. A well aspected Guru will also protect Lagna due to Subhargala. Aspect of either of tamasic Grahas Sani, Rahu or Ketu on Guru could be disastrous causing losses due to weaknesses (Shadripu), disease and theft.

2.3



Placement of Lord of 2nd Bhava

2.3.1.



In Lagna





Placement of Lord of 2nd Bhava in various Bhavas shows the extent of wealth and attitude towards materialism, family, food etc. If 2nd Lord is in Lagna, native will be tight-fisted in money matters and wealthy. As Lagna relates to the self, the money will be acquired by his own effort and intelligence. Since 2nd Bhava also relates to 2nd marriage (being 8th from 7th), native will be passionate and subservient. Instead, 2nd Lord in 2nd Bhava will make native rich, enhance the possibility of a 2nd marriage. 2nd Lord in 6th would give wealth and status by success in war / competition etc. This result of placement of 2nd Lord could also apply to Rasi and constellation of 2nd Bhava Lord as well. It should also be noted that sources of wealth indicated by placement of 2nd Lord also become sources of loss if it has any connection with 12th Bhava. Thus, a 2nd Lord in 6th will be aspecting 12th Bhava and shows losses of wealth through enemies.

2.3.2.



2nd Lord in 2nd & 3rd etc.



Since 2nd Lord is Sri Vishnu (sustainer of horoscope), Grahas and Bhavas placed in 4th (nadir) from it tend to be weakened. Thus, if 2nd Lord is in 1st Bhava, 4th Bhava representing one's family becomes hostile while 2nd Lord in 2nd Bhava tends to damage / destroy offspring. In 3rd Bhava, 2nd Lord will destroy enemies and so on.

2.3.3.



Arudha of 2nd Bhava



Placement of Arudha of 2nd Bhava (A2) from Lagna and Arudha Lagna should be closely examined for family deity etc. If Arudha of 2nd Bhava is in a Dusthana from Arudha Lagna, native shall not have conducive relationship with family and if in Kendras / Trikonas, there will be amity among the family members. If Dhanapada (A2) is in 11th, native gains well from family and if in 3rd from Arudha Lagna, the family gains from native. Similarly position of Dhanapada from Lagna should be studied for determining wealth of chart.

2.3.4.



Wealth



Wealth will also come from such activities whose Arudhapadas are in 2nd Bhava. Thus, Upapada in 2nd Bhava will bring wealth from spouse and marriage will be in a wealthy family. Placement of 2nd Bhava from Varnada Lagna can completely alter the complexion of a chart. Varnada Lagna in 2nd Bhava is very conducive to wealth and status while the same in 12th Bhava shows indulgence in nefarious and antisocial activities.

2.3.5.



Additional examinations

Similarly, Artha Saham, Hora Lagna Navamsa (D-9) and Hora (D-2) chart should be examined along with suitable Dasas like Sudasa, Vimsottari Dasa or Narayana Dasa etc. Placement of 2nd Lord in constellation of 3rd, 5th or 7th Vimsottari Dasa Lord does not augur well for finances. In addition, Lagna and its Trikonas should be examined as it is the tripod over which the entire chart rests. The results of Lords of various Bhavas in 2nd Bhava and that of Lord of 2nd Bhava in various Bhavas should be studied from standard texts. In general it should be borne in mind that the weakness of Grahas or their Papargala on Lagna cause losses while their strength or Subhargala on Lagna causes profits. Thus a 2nd Lord in 8th Bhava could either bring a huge dowry or cause loss through alimony depending on its strength.

Surya, Chandr and Guru. Guru attains Neechabhanga because of exalted Chandr in Lagna. 2nd Lord Budh is in 12th Bhava. This should have been a Daridra Yoga (poverty) but for two factors. First is the presence of Varnada Lagna in 2nd Bhava that considerably enhances status and results of 2nd Lord in 12th gets modified to that of Lord of Varnada Lagna in 11th from it resulting in Dhanyoga (wealth). Second is the fact of conjunction of Lagna Lord Sukr with 2nd Lord thereby strengthening it, besides their dispositor Mangal becomes Atmakarak (God) and is placed in 11th from Lagna. Thus the losses are modified to gains through similar sources. Rasi Mesha would indicate gains through fire, factories, metals, army, police etc. and 12th Bhava shows gains from foreign sources, expenditure (or taxes of others / citizens), hospitals, jails (fines / fees), secret societies etc. Normally, the taxes, tolls, fines, fees etc. collected by the Government of England were in her name (Lagna Lord conjoins). A lot of money flowed into the British coffers from foreign colonies. True to its nature martian Mesha gave considerable wealth from conquest, war and expansion. Arudha Lagna and Atmakarak are in Meena. 2nd Bhava is fiery Mesha with Budh and Sukr in it unaspected by any malefic. Parasara says that Budh so placed can make a person as wealthy as King. During Budh Dasa the fortunes of England took an upward surge. Darapada (A7) is in Trikona to Arudha Lagna and their Lords, viz. Chandr and Guru, aspect 11th from Arudha Lagna and are also in mutual Trikonas. A perfect Srimantah. Hora Lagna in Vrishabha is conjoined royal Grahas Surya & exalted Chandr and is aspected by debilitated Guru indicating that the huge fortunes of the British Monarchy would belong to her by inheritance (Guru is 8th Lord). Exalted / debilitated Grahas give a lot of money (Jaimini Chart 21 Sutras). Chart 21 - Krishnaraja Wadiyar IV, born on 4th June 1884, at 10:18 am LMT, 12 N 00, 76 E 38. Lg Ch Ma Sk Ra

Sri Krishnaraya Wadiyar IV (chart 21) was the King of (erstwhile) Mysore and perhaps the ideal ruler of his times as can be seen from the presence of powerful benefics Guru and Sukr in fruitful Karkataka Lagna causing the most beneficial Hamsa Mahapurush Yoga. Lagna, Hora Lagna and Ghatika Lagna are conjoined / aspected by Surya, Sani & Budh (3 Rajyogas). Chandr as Lord of Lagna conjoins Hora Lagna (wealth) and aspects Ghatika Lagna (power) (Rajyoga). Sukr is Lord of Hora Lagna, conjoin Lagna and aspects Ghatika Lagna (Rajyoga).     

Lagna Lord Chandr and 5th Lord Mangal are in mutual aspect (Rasi Dristi) in 4th and 2nd Bhava generating a powerful Rajyoga that will function in early life as 2nd & 4th Bhava are involved. Contrarily, if Rajyoga is in 1st & 7th Bhava it will function in later life. King lost his father when he was only 11 years of age and was coronated in his 19th year proving the validity of Jaimini Sutras. Thus Yogas, good or bad, in 2nd Bhava will function in early life. In Navamsa, Kumbha rises aspected by Sukr & Chandr (Rasi Dristi), creating a powerful Dhanyoga (see charts of Indira Gandhi, JRD Tata etc. for the same). 2nd Lord in 8th Bhava is Guru indicating wealth through inheritance. Guru is conjoined / aspected by Rahu & Sani, 2 Lords of Kumbha Lagna. Inheritance Yogas also indicate the demise of parent / relative. During Rahu - Sani - Guru (Dasa - sub-period - sub-sub-period), father passed away in the last part of 1894, paving the way for inheritance of the throne. There are other ways to confirm this event, but not having a direct bearing on 2nd Bhava. Even in Rasi chart 2nd and 8th Lord Surya & Sani conjoins in 11th. Narayan Dasa of Mithuna was from 10th to 20th year Chart 22 (1893 - 1904). Father expired in Mithuna - Mesha (Dasa Antara), but coronation did not occur immediately. Ghatika Lagna is in Vrishabha and is aspected by Makara, Thula and Karkataka. Antardasa of Vrishabha preceded the death of father. Of the 3 Rasis aspecting Ghatika Lagna, Karkataka is the most capable of conforming Rajyogas, housing powerful benefics. The coronation was held on 8th August 1902 in Mithuna Karkataka (Dasa Antara = 4th Aug. 1902 - 4th Jul. 1903). Pratyantar Dasa was Thula housing Lagnesh Chandr, Arudha Lagna and Hora Lagna and aspecting Ghatika (4th Aug. 1903 - 1st Sep. 1902). The coronation should be expected when Chandr transits a favorable Rasi and constellation Lord should signify Dasa of Mithuna and Antardasa of Karkataka show that Chandr itself is bringing forth Rajyoga. During the period of 4th August 1902 to 1st Septmber 1902, Chandr transits Hasta, Sravana and Rohini on 8th, 18th and 27th respectively. Rohini is ruled out as Vrishabha would be Chandrastama from both Janma Rasi (natal Chandr) as well as Arudha Lagna. Kanya is preferable to Makara as, in the transit chart 22, four malefics are in Kendras to Makara and Sukr is in 6th (evil) Bhava from it. The coronation was held on 8th of August 1902 in Hasta star. Again, while Kanya is in 7th Bhava (Kendra) from Mantrarudha (A5 Meena), Makara is in 11th from it. Dhana / Rajyogas should be expected when ascending node of Chandr (i.e. Rahu representing head - crown) transits Arudha Lagna or its Trikonas. Here Rahu was transiting Arudha Lagna in Thula. Similarly, Rajbhanga Yoga functions when Ketu (representing headlessness - loss of crown) transits Arudha Lagna or its Trikonas. Rahu represents Bhoga Marga (materialism) while Ketu represents Moksha Marga (spiritualism). Chandr representing conscious mind hankers for material pleasures and causes Shakti Yoga when conjoined with Rahu in Trikonas to Lagna (Jaimini Sutras). This Yoga can be very destructive as for personal glory and aggrandizement native would not hesitate to make any sacrifice. Similarly, Surya represents the soul that hankers for emancipation and with Ketu in Trikonas to Lagna would cause Siva Yoga and spiritualism of a very high order. Such people would not hesitate to sacrifice themselves for the benefit of others. In charts of saints this transit of Ketu in Trikonas to Lagna / Arudha Lagna / Paka Lagna helps in determining the timing of Pravrajya Yoga (renunciation; this concept of Siva and Shakti is the root of Vedic astrology). For predictive purposes standard texts prescribe drawing of a chart for the beginning of a Dasa. While in Vimsottari Dasa it is difficult to time the exact moment in which a Dasa begins, Narayan Dasa is very convenient as Varsha Pravesh chart (solar ingress chart) for starting date should be prepared.

Chart 23 Chart 23 - Solar ingress for Mithuna Dasa - 4th June 1893, 02:21:46 pm LMT, 12 N 00, 76 E 38. Chart 23 is Dasa Pravesh chart for the beginning of vital Mithuna Dasa (1893 -1904) of Sri Krishnaraya Wadiyar (chart 21). Kanya, 3rd from natal Lagna rises with 9th Lord Sukr conjoining 8th Lord Mangal in 10th Bhava indicating danger to life of father. Presence of Guru and Rahu in 8th from Lagna identical with their placement in natal Navamsa chart confirms the danger. This is also supported by presence of Lagna Lord Budh in 9th Bhava that is not conducive to father's longevity. Conjunction of Surya indicated Rajyogas for self. Similarly Chandr in 5th also indicates power and authority. Since the combination indicating health of father associate with 2nd & 4th Bhava, they function at the beginning of Dasa and father died in 1894 while luminaries indicating Rajyoga are in Trikonas to Lagna and indicate results in the end of Dasa. He was coronated in 1902. Compare chart 22 & 23 which are quite identical. Mangal and Sukr are in the same Rasi while Surya and Budh of chart 23 have progressed to 11th from Kanya in chart 22, which is Lagna (crown) in chart 23. In Dasapravesh chart Chandr occupies a Kendra from natal Lagna. Readers will appreciate that various tools of Vedic astrology are in perfect union with each other and that it is up to the astrologer to be able to decipher star position.

Chart 24

Chart 24 - J.R.D. Tata, 29th July 1904, 10:14 pm GMT, 48 N 52, 02 E 50. The financial implication of Argala on Guru has already been explained in Chapter II. 2nd Bhava is Vrishabha as its Lord Sukr is placed in 3rd (Upachaya) from it resulting in growth of the wealth. 2nd Bhava has Papargala of Mangal which is removed by Guru in 12th from it. Similarly Argala of Budh and Rahu in 4th from it is obstructed by Chandr and Ketu, showing hard fought business battles as Budh is Lord of 6th Bhava. 2nd Bhava is aspected by Sani, Surya and 2nd Lord Sukr (Rasi Dristi). Sani forming Sasa Mahapurush Yoga is also Subhapati (dispositor of Chandr) and has given TISCO (Tata Iron & Steel Company) in inheritance (aspects 8th Bhava) from father (Surya). The real wealth will be controlled by Sukr in 4th Bhava (family) and conjoining Surya (institution / company Tata Sons Ltd the holding Company). Thus Sani (steel - Tisco) formed the backbone around which Tata empire was built. 2nd Lord in 4th Bhava with Sukr will surely give wealth through vehicles explaining next giant TELCO that has now diversified from heavy-duty truck to big cars. The strong placement of 2nd Lord in an Upachaya has resulted in great diversification to become among the leading industrial houses in India which includes Tata Tea (Budh Argala on 2nd Bhava and Lord Sukr), Soaps and detergent (aspect of Chandr on Sukr in Karkataka), Civil aviation (Ketu has Argala on Guru and aspects 2nd Lord Sukr) etc. However, it should be noted that Chandr and Ketu are in Badhak place from Lagna and in 8th from 2nd Lord Sukr indicating many difficulties like intense competition from 'Nirma' while the civil aviation company was taken over by Government to become Air India. Arudha Lagna is in Simha and 2nd Bhava is Kanya showing gains from gardens (Tata Tea), intellectual pursuits (Tata Institute of Fundamental research - Budh conjoins Rahu), Advise (Tata Consultancy Services) etc. 2nd Lord Budh conjoins Rahu to show gains in computers etc. The list is endless showing that given the right planetary placements there can be no end to growth.

 Balance of Mangal Dasa years 06-00-02. Lagna Lord Chandr in chart 25 is in 7th Bhava showing a wanderer if weak and a very rich man, if strong. 9th Lord in 12th shows a poor father (linen weaver). Both constellation (Mangal) and Rasi (Sani) dispositors of Chandr are very strong placed in own Rasi and exaltation. However, since Lord of fortune and Karaka for wealth Guru is in 12th Bhava, native would have to sail to distant lands for his fortune. Sani (steel) is exalted in 4th Bhava from Lagna forming Sasa Mahapurush Yoga and is also Subhapati (dispositor of Chandr). Being exalted in 7th from Arudha Lagna (Mesha) it not only causes a Rajyoga but also has Digbala (directional strength). Sani rules western direction and the family sailed for the wild west (USA) on 19th May 1948 [? - 1848] in Rahu - Sani - Sukr (Dasa - Antara - Pratyantar). 2nd Lord from Lagna (Surya) is in Hora Lagna in 5th Bhava conjoining Mangal, Sukr and Ketu. This indicates great wealth from speculation etc. In Vrischika it shows his initial investments in oil properties. 2nd Bhava from Arudha Lagna has Rahu indicating great financial strain during Rahu Dasa. Fortunately 2nd Bhava is aspected by Sani & Budh (Graha Dristi) and by four Grahas from 8th including 2nd Lord from Lagna and Arudha Lagna Sukr & Surya. With the advent of Guru Dasa fortune smiled and his rise started from 1865 in Guru - Budh. In 1972 [? - 1872] in Guru - Chandr he introduced the Bessemer steel process that was to be the foundation of his Dhanyoga. In 1888 he took over the Homestead Steel Works in Sani - Mangal periods. Mangal is dispositors of 2nd Lords of both Lagna and AL. During Budh - Sukr he consolidated his holdings (1898) in Carnegie Steel Company. With 2nd Lord from Arudha Lagna in 8th, the attitude would be to hold one's money securely and finally in Budh - Surya in 1901 Carnegie sold his interests to retire. While Surya in 8th from AL causes retirement, as 2nd Lord in 5th, Carnegie would prefer to consolidate instead of gamble. Readers may note the rare Dhanyoga in both JRD (chart 24) & Carnegie (chart 25) as Sukr and Chandr aspect Navamsa Lagna.

Table 7 gives Sudasas of Carnegie. The financial changes are far more easily deciphered by Sudasas (refer Jaimini Sutras). First Dasa of Kanya is only aspected by Guru as its Lord conjoins Sani, indicating a hand to mouth existence. During next Dasa of Mithuna (12th Bhava) housing 9th Lord Guru, the family migrated to USA in search of fortune. Dasas of Meena and Dhanur up to February 1865 saw gradual rise due to aspect of Guru. As such Dasas of Apoklimas will not be very beneficial except for aspect / conjunction of Guru, no other Graha is present. 2nd Lord from Lagna & AL are in Panapara and so is Hora Lagna (Vrischika) and Varnada Lagna (Kumbha). The year 1865 was the turning point in his life as with the advent of Simha Dasa the blessings of a strong 2nd Bhava showered on him. Dasa of Vrischika with Hora Lagna, Sukr, Surya, Mangal & Ketu made him steel giant of USA. Conjunction of 2nd Lord of Arudha Lagna and Lord of Hora Lagna made him among the richest men in the world. With the advent of Karkataka Dasa he consolidated his assets into Carnegie Steel Company, sold them off and retired with about a billion dollars in 1901.

2nd Bhava from Arudha Lagna is Simha with Rahu in it as Lord Surya is placed in 11th from Arudha Lagna indicating his initial stint at Government service. Lord of Arudha Lagna conjoins Lagna with Guru to form the Gajakesari Yoga that gave undying fame. This combination also aspects Vrishabha with Surya and Budh in it to indicate success in movies. As Gajakesari Yoga aspects 2nd from Arudha Lagna (Simha) and its Lord, it brought great riches. This was largely during Dasas of fixed Rasis as well as in Karkataka Sudasa. With the advert of Mesha Sudasa (Dec 1882 [1982] - 1884 [1984]) that houses Sukr Lagna Lord and Hora Lagna, NTR floated his own political party (Telugu Desam) and within a year romped into the Chief Ministership of Andhra Pradesh. Malefic Mangal and Sani in 3rd and 6th caused the victory as they were aided by Gajakesari Yoga in 7th Bhava and Sukr in 1st Bhava from Mesha. Surya and Budh in 2nd from Dasa Rasi also caused Rajyoga. Thus it will be seen that Sudasas are an invaluable tool to time success / failure in politics. Similarly the decline can be seen during Dasa of Thula with malefic Mangal and Sani in 9th & 12th Bhava from Dasa Rasi. 2nd cycle of Kanya put the nail in the coffin. Chart 27

 Shri Lagna: 5R 05° 42' 21" (Kanya) 2nd Bhava in chart 27 is Simha conjoined by Sani and Mangal. As 7th Lord in 2nd, wealth from abroad is indicated and as 8th Lord Sani will only indicate inheritances / occult practice. Chandraswami was a Tantrik who did receive donation for his occult practice. Mangal as 5th Lord in 2nd shows wealth from disciples and followers and as 10th Lord in 2nd, his own effort. Hora Lagna is in Meena, a watery Rasi, in 9th Bhava and conjoined Rahu indicating wealth from overseas / foreigners. Lord Guru is in 7th in debility with Lagnesh Chandr (Gajakesari) and aspecting 2nd Bhava (Rasi Dristi) showing that Chandraswami will have international fame, a following overseas and that his foreign associates will be responsible for his rise (Gaja Kesari Yoga) or his down fall (Rahu). Aspect of this Gajakesariyoga on Mangal shows his close association with Mr. Adnan Kashoggi, international arms dealer. From Lagna there are equal number of Grahas in 5th and 9th Bhava showing Bandhan Yoga (imprisonment / bondage). Since Grahas involved are Badhak Lord Sukr and 8th Lord Rahu, not only will there be captivity, but his health will also be poor during this bondage. The charges against him are seen from Rahu in 9th Bhava - since in Hora Lagna (wealth) these relate to "bribe" and "fraud / cheating / usurpation of bribe money". Person filing the charges is seen from Sukr - a Brahma in Lakhubhai Pathak. Similarly from Paka Lagna (Makara) Rahu and Sukr are in 3rd / 11th generating Bandhan Yoga. Equal number of Grahas causing Argala and Virodhargala give Bandhan Yoga. Narayan Dasas begin from Makara (7th Bhava) and results are to be seen from 7th Bhava from Dasa Rasi. Dasa of Vrishabha is from 1996 - 2002 and 7th is occupied by Sukr. Chandraswami has been taken into custody since then.

Tantricism Navamsa has mystic Vrischika rising with Sani in it showing that Swami will wear the garb of a Sanyasi. He has Ketu and Sukr in Trikonas to show the strength of Tapas due to Mantra (5th Bhava) and teacher (9th Bhava). Sani, Sukr and Ketu influencing Navamsa Lagna give Tapasya Yoga. Atmakarak Budh is exalted in Kanya and has two malefics Surya and Rahu in 5th aspected by Sani from 3rd. Rahu with Chandr aspect is Shakti Yoga (destructive powers) involvement of three malefics show the level (75 % of maximum) and Rasi Makara gives the widest scope including spirits, ghosts etc. Presence of benefics mitigates the misuse of these powers. However, although Lakhubhai Pathak has since expired (Sukr is out of the scene), Rahu (charges, litigation - aspects Budh) is difficult to remove without jupiterian involvement. Chart 28

Surya in 4th, under the circumstances, gives a thatched hut to live in and they have made a Jhuggi for themselves. Arudha Lagna & Dara Pada are together (Srimantah Yoga), Hora Lagna is in 9th Bhava, Sasa Mahapurush and various other strong features become defunct in the face of KSY axis. 2nd from Arudha Lagna has Guru well placed in Dhanur (temple). 9th Lord & Lord of Lagna [Navamsa] Mangal conjoin Guru, 2nd Lord Budh and Sukr. Within a few months of her birth, father was able to manage a chowkidar job in a temple. This was possible only because Grahas in Dhanur page ~ 38 ~




aspect Kanya by Rasi Dristi. Vargottama position of Rahu - Ketu has worsened matters. Between Lagna & 7th, the latter is stronger. From Kumbha, Chandr is in 8th Bhava (abject poverty & Sani in 1st, Ketu in 2nd & Rahu in 8th cause Kemadruma Yoga - Jaimini Sutras). Since this Yoga is formed from Lagna / 7th Bhava, poverty is a regular feature of chart. Mere presence of Rahu in 2nd Bhava does not cause Daridra Yoga. However, if Guru is in 2nd, 5th, 9th or 12th from Rahu, this Yoga is caused. Conversely, if Guru is in 2nd, a powerful Dhanyoga is caused. However, Rahu in 2nd, 5th, 9th or 12th from such Guru can obstruct it and cause Daridra Yoga. In this manner chart should be studied before declaring results. 2nd Bhava deals with various other aspects like food, speech, 2nd marriage, extramarital ties etc.

Speech defects

Chart 29

A: Late speaking Chart 29 - male, born on 11th November 1962. 2nd Bhava in chart 29 is Karkataka conjoined two powerful malefics Rahu and Mangal (debilitated but in exalted Navamsa) and aspected by Sani and Ketu from 8th Bhava. This should have caused Daridra Yoga, but for the fact that there is a Parivartanyoga between Chandr and Mangal involving 2nd and 11th Bhava and causing a powerful Dhana Yoga. If 2nd Bhava is a watery Rasi conjoined malefics, speech defects are sure to occur and native did not speak. In his 4th year after the boy did not respond to medicine, parents were advised to propitiate Lord Siva on Mondays by offering milk (2nd Bhava is Karkataka). In 5th year, after Narayana Dasa shifted from Mithuna to Kumbha, the boy started speaking. Although he stammers slightly, he has pursued with his prayers and Lord has blessed him with speech. Since Kumbha was conjoined Guru, remedy was expected. This prayer has also destroyed whatever evil in the 2nd / 8th axis to generate a powerful Dhana Yoga. But then, success came due to already existing Guru in Trikonas. Chart 30 Chart 30 - male, born 6th December 1967. In chart 30, Sani is in Lagna, Rahu in 2nd and Ketu in 8th to cause Kemadruma Yoga. However, presence of Sukr in 8th destroys Kemadruma Yoga. Again Rahu in 2nd has Guru in 5th to generate a Dhana Yoga. Disease in seen from 8th Lord and like chart 29, 8th Lord is in 8th Bhava, thereby aspecting 2nd Bhava to indicate speech defects. This is again supported by 2nd Lord Mangal in 11th in a wet Rasi Makara with Chandr. Native spoke very late in his 6th year. The remedy should have naturally come in his 8th year but the early recovery was due to Gayatri Mantra of his father (Surya & Budh is 9th Bhava).

Chart 31

B: Stammering Chart 31 - male, born on 16th February 1965. In chart 31, 2nd Lord Surya in 8th with Sani indicates a liar thereby causing destruction of wealth. However it also indicated marriage in a wealthy family and luxuries from that marriage. Thus has happened in 1996. In Navamsa, Makara rises with Sani and Mangal in it with Ketu in 2nd and Rahu in 8th generating a powerful Kemadruma Yoga. As Sani and Mangal are in Lagna his elder brother will be instrumental in helping him throughout life. His marriage, job etc. were all done by his brother. Ketu in 2nd from Navamsa Lagna shows speech defects like stammering and premature graying hair. Native stammered in childhood and spoke properly after his 11th year (1st Narayan Dasa of Makara - 11 years). Subsequently after 20 years his hair started graying. Other aspects of 2nd Bhava, like extramarital relations / 2nd marriage, has been dealt in a subsequent Chapter. page ~ 39 ~

3rd Bhava significations



3rd Bhava concerns coborns, confidants, courage and mental strength. Malefics in 3rd Bhava give valor while benefics make one timid. Since 3rd rules the arms, it shows the skill or tool in hand. For example, Sukr in 3rd may produce a skilled artist while Mangal in 3rd produces a wielder of the spear or other arms. Malefics in 3rd give Rajyoga, i.e. native tends to fight for power and position while benefics in 3rd give a peace-loving disposition (or timidity), i.e. native tends to renounce power and strive for the sake of peace. 3rd Bhava deals with the part of intelligence whereby personal skills are developed and hence is called an Upachaya (Bhava of growth). As indicated, Sukr would give skills for painting, Budh for dancing or acting, Guru for writing (i.e. wielding the pen), Ketu for meditating etc. While Mangal would give skills for wielding the spear, Sani for the bow or staff, Rahu for bombs and poisons and Surya for sword or light firearms. Thus 3rd Bhava is vital to the growth and development of native. Since 3rd also aspects 9th Bhava ruling Dharma (natural religion / principles), natural malefics would damage traits of 9th Bhava while benefics would promote the same. Thus, for example, Mangal in 3rd would also aspect 9th Bhava and one who wields the spear will also follow a 'Dharma' of using the same, whether for defense or offence is a secondary question. But natural law tends to promote world peace and hence to be a saint, one has to renounce all forms of violence and adopt Ahimsa (non-violence). This is all the more true from Arudha Lagna. An ideal situation would be one in which 3rd Lord would join natural malefics (preferably Surya giving gallantry), while benefics alone are placed in 3rd Bhava. Dhimantah Yoga (pursuit of knowledge / skill development) is produced if Lagna or its Lord associates with 3rd, 5th or 6th Bhava or its Lord.

3.2



Coborns



Coborns are seen from 3rd Bhava (younger) and 11th Bhava (elder) from Lagna and Arudha Lagna. These Bhavas from Lagna determines their physical presence (body) while from Arudha Lagna their numbers, ruling stars etc. are known. Malefics in strength in 3rd Bhava from Lagna destroy younger coborns while weak malefics gives them physical strength. For example, Mangal in 3rd generally denies younger coborns, but if Mangal is in Karkataka a very strong younger brother is born. Sani in 3rd / 11th from Arudha Lagna is detrimental to younger / elder co-born and in conjunction / association with Rahu, it causes death. Sukr rules the sperm through which native attains birth, hence the name "Sukra". Since for conception various spermatozoa, each carrying a different soul, put up an intense competition to fertilize the ovum, spermatozoa that succeeds is the soul carrier of native represented by Sukr. Thus Sukr indicates the 'selfish' nature of all animals (and specifically of native himself in chart) and will tend to eliminate all competition with whom native has to share the blessings of this world. Hence a Sukr in 8th will indicate a premature delivery / still born child before native birth. Similarly Sukr conjoining / aspecting 3rd / 11th will tend to eliminate younger / elder coborns respectively (count from Arudha Lagna for 3rd & 11th Bhava should be zodiacal or reverse, depending on whether Rasi is odd or even respectively). The number of younger / elder coborns is the numbers of Grahas conjoining / aspecting Lord of 3rd / 11th Bhava respectively. Rasi Dristi of Grahas be considered for this purpose. Details regarding individual coborns are seen from Drekkana (D-3). 1st younger co-born is seen from Lord of 3rd Bhava, next from Lord of 5th Bhava (i.e. 3rd from 3rd as per Manduka Gati) and so on (ref. Jaimini Sutras). 1st (immediate) elder co-born is seen from 11th Lord from Drekkana Lagna, next from 9th Lord (i.e. 3rd from 11th counted in reverse) and so on.



Death



3rd Bhava, being Pada of 8th Bhava (i.e. 8th from 8th Bhava) also has a vital say in the circumstances and place of death. Malefics in 3rd from Arudha Lagna give a violent / unnatural death, whereas benefics give a natural death. If Guru and / or Sukr influence 3rd, there is prior knowledge of death. Chandr could indicate a watery grave. Mangal indicates death by a spear or such other sharp weapon etc. Similarly death circumstances of other kith & kin can be seen from their Sthira Karakas (fixed significators). Rasi in 3rd determines the place of death. For example, Surya in 3rd Bhava in Kanya in chart of Mahatma Gandhi gave death in a garden due to a bullet (Surya - light firearm) and the assassin attributed a political motive. A movable Rasi shows death in distant place, fixed - indoors, and dual shows a short distance like garden etc. An exhaustive treatment is given in Upadesa Sutras of Maharishi Jaimini.

3.4



Placement of 3rd Lord



Placement of 3rd Lord in different Bhavas should be examined both from its aspects and Argala to determine results. Being Lord of Mithuna (copulation) it should be treated as a malefic. For example, a 3rd Lord in 5th Bhava will aspect 11th (gains) to indicate help / gains from brothers, sons friends etc. As it has Argala on 2nd Bhava, it causes growth of wealth and family. Having Argala on 4th Bhava, it causes happiness. Argala on 7th gives benefit from spouse and promotes affairs of the same. For beneficial results to fructify, a lot would depend on placement and strength of dispositor. In aforementioned example if 5th Lord, being dispositor, is in 12th Bhava, then there will not be much gain from coborns and sons as they themselves would not be financially sound. However, during the natural period of page ~ 40 ~




Graha, some support will be there, like Sukr as 3rd Lord in 5th Bhava showing younger brothers support / help between 24 - 28 years. Generally placement of 3rd Lord in Dusthanas (6th, 8th or 12th Bhava) is considered auspicious as native has his sexual urge (and other animal instincts) well under control. If placed in these Bhavas with Lords of other Dusthanas, Vipareeta Rajyoga occurs. Involvement of 3rd Lord and / or Mangal shows sudden gains through conquests (both terrestrial or in the board room) if 6th Bhava is involved. Involvement of 8th Bhava shows legacy, inheritance etc.

3.5



Placement of Grahas



Placement of Grahas in 3rd Bhava will give results on the basis of Bhava ownership as well as their nature. Since 3rd Bhava primarily deals with sexual intercourse, placement of Lords of any Bhava will tend to bring martian influences on the said Bhava. If, for example, Lagna Lord is in 3rd Bhava, native will be dynamic, enterprising, bold and fortunate (since Graha would aspect 9th Bhava). Here martian influence on Lagna is good as it would give a robust physique and success in battles. If instead 7th Lord is in 3rd Bhava, wife would be of doubtful character or if 9th Lord is in 3rd Bhava, father would be a wretch / debauchee. If instead 8th Lord is in 3rd Bhava, native himself may have more than one attachment as 8th Bhava rules break of marriage. 4th Bhava has Argala on 3rd Bhava being in 2nd from it and shows the place of intercourse. 7th Bhava being 5th (love) from 3rd Bhava shows person with whom the intercourse occurs. If Rasi in 3rd Bhava is owned or conjoined a benefic, love making (attitude) is tender, while malefics show violent sex. The progress of the intercourse is seen from Lord of 3rd Bhava while its success / failure is seen from Arudha Pada of 3rd Bhava (A3 Pada). For example, if Surya is in 2nd, 6th, 8th or 12th Bhava from A3 Pada, native may not be fertile. If Surya is so placed from Arudha Pada of 9th Bhava (A9 Pada), then also infertility could result as 9th Bhava is 3rd from 7th (ref. Upadesa Sutras of Jaimini).

3.6



Journeys



3rd Bhava, being 12th from 4th, shows short journeys within or neighboring the place of residence. 4th Bhava (being 2nd from 3rd) has Argala and shows vehicle used for this journey. 7th Bhava (being 5th from 3rd) has Argala and shows people with whom this journey is made. 6th Bhava (being 4th from 3rd) has Argala and shows assistants (driver, palaquin bearer etc.) in the journey. Lagna (being 11th from 3rd) has Argala and shows that such short journeys have a direct bearing on health and status of native. Thus, a short journey like a morning walk can have a positive impact on Lagna while daily communication in big cities can be quite tiresome and negative for health.

This shows an aggressive personality that will be tempered down / controlled due to Guru. Arudha Lagna is Simha and 3rd Bhava is a beneficial Rasi Thula with Guru in it showing non-violence (Ahimsa). 3rd Bhava from Arudha Lagna (AL) has Argala on 2nd Bhava and since there are no Grahas in AL, this Argala is unobstructed indicating that during Dasa of Guru Swami Vivekananda will have great wealth, controlled temper / calm and will achieve recognition as a saint (3rd from AL has benefic Guru). In fact, all benefics Guru, Budh & Sukr are in 3rd / 6th from AL to confirm his saintly disposition. He has written some immortal classics like Rajyoga etc. due to Guru in 3rd Bhava. With the advent of Guru Dasa on 30th May 1892, his poverty gradually vanished and he received money from West (USA) to establish Belur Math of Ramakrishna Mission etc. Chart 33 Chart 33 - male, born on 30th August 1955, at 11:45 pm IST.  Arudha Lg: Simha In chart 33, 3rd from Arudha Lagna has a powerful malefic Sani in exaltation as Rasi Thula is aspected by Ketu, Mangal, Surya and Sukr by Rasi Dristi.

Native is a colonel in army. 3rd Bhava from Lagna has an exalted Guru that is aspected by Ketu (Rasi Dristi). Thus, Ketu aspects 3rd from Lagna and page ~ 41 ~

Saravali and other texts indicate birth of twins in these circumstances. As Budh conjoins 2 male Grahas Surya and Mangal in a male Rasi, younger coborns should be brothers. Arudha Lagna is Simha with Bhratrukarak Rahu fortifying 3rd Bhava Thula. 3rd Lord Sukr is in an airy fixed Rasi Kumbha aspected by Ketu, Guru and Rahu from movable Rasis by Rasi Dristi. While Ketu could indicate a sister, Rahu & Guru will indicate two brothers. In Drekkana (D-3), Kumbha is 3rd Bhava with Sani and Rahu as its two Lords showing the twins. Chara Bhratrukarak Rahu is fortified in 11th Bhava (Upachaya) from Lagna.

Timing birth - Dasa & sub periods Dasas functioning in 1st decade of life are Budh and Ketu and both are capable of giving coborns. However, in Drekkana, Budh is quite afflicted as Ketu draws the strengths of Mangal, natural co-born significator and is more likely to give coborns. From Arudha Lagna, 3rd Lord is Sukr aspected by Ketu and hence coborns (twins) were born in Ketu Dasa - Sukr sub-period. Sub-sub period was that of Sani, Lord of 3rd Bhava from D-3 Lagna. This period of Ketu - Sukr - Sani was from 14th September 1980 to 20th November 1980 and sidereal Surya could be in any Rasi from Simha to Vrischika. Month of birth - solar transit during birth will normally be in a Rasi in Trikonas to 3rd Bhava from Arudha Lagna or Rasi occupied by its Lord or Rasis of exaltation / debilitation of 3rd Lord from Arudha Lagna. 3rd from AL is Thula as its Lord Sukr is also in an airy Rasi. Thula is also occupied by Bhratrukarak Rahu. Thus solar transit of Thula between 16th October 1980 to 16th November 1980 shall give month of birth of twin younger brothers. Similarly Paksha, Tithi and Nakshatra of Chandr can be determined as per canons on the subject. Lagna of birth - Lagna of birth of coborns is to be seen from 3rd Bhava, its Lord or Bhratruarudha (A3). If 3rd Lord conjoins Surya alone, then Rasi itself could determine Lagna. Other Grahas conjoining could divert Lagna. Here 3rd Lord Budh conjoins Surya and Mangal. Hence, a martian Rasi should be expected to ascend. Bhratruarudha (A3) is in Meena indicating Vrischika as the final Lagna The twins were born on 25th October 1980 in Krishna Paksha Dwiteeya, Bharani star (Sukr) at 09:04 am and 09:15 am when Vrischika was ascending.

Chart 35 Chart 35 - female, born on 5th February 1969, at 04:43 pm IST, at Hissar (India).  Bhratrukarak: Chandr  Arudha Lg: Kanya (AL)  Bhratru Arudha: Vrishabha (A3) In chart 35, Arudha Lagna is Kanya an even Rasi. Hence 3rd and 11th Bhava are reckoned in reverse as Karkataka and Vrischika respectively. However, the results of Bhavas will be examined in natural zodiacal order. In this chart, Chandr, Lord of Karkataka is in 12th Bhava from Arudha Lagna indicating loss / absence of younger coborns (true she is the youngest). Vrischika has two Lords Mangal and Ketu with the latter aspected / conjoined Guru, Sukr, Rahu and Sani indicating upto six elder coborns (true -she has six elder brothers and sisters). In Drekkana chart (D-3) an even Rasi Karkataka ascends. Hence, 11th Bhava is reckoned in reverse as Kanya and its Lord Budh conjoins a debilitated Guru to show that the immediate elder co-born is a sister. Since this conjunction occurs in a movable Rasi in 7th Bhava from Lagna, foreign travel and residence (in Japan) for higher studies is indicated. The direction is seen from Guru (NE). 11th from Kanya is Vrischika (reverse direction count) having two Lords Mangal and Ketu. Ketu conjoins a male Graha Surya whereas Mangal is in Mithuna (female). Next two elder coborns are twins, one male and other female. 11th from Vrischika in reverse direction is Makara. However, Makara already houses 2 sisters as indicated by Budh and Guru and should normally have limited the number of elder coborns. Since the number is actually higher, next Rasi Kumbha will indicate co-born. This movement to every 3rd Rasi and then, if required, crawling to next Rasi, comes under Manduka Gati (frog movement). Rahu, Lord of Kumbha is in Meena with exalted Sukr indicating that next elder coborn will be a male. 11th from Kumbha in reverse direction is Mesha and its Lord Mangal is placed in Mithuna showing that next (eldest) co-born shall be a female. However, since Mangal has already signified a co-born (one of the twins), this eldest sister will be seen from Mesha. To confirm readings, I had ventured that this eldest sister is very emotional (Chandr) and rash (Mesha) in temperament and has a disturbed married life (Rahu & Sukr in 12th Bhava from Mesha). This was confirmed. In this manner, treating each of Grahas / Rasi as Paka Lagna of each of the coborns many details of their lives can be confirmed and their wellbeing in the future predicted.

Shoola Dasas for younger brothers. Not only is Dhanur 3rd from Bhratrukaraka Sani, it houses a debilitated Rahu and is Badhak (obstruction - natural) Rasi from Bhratruaruda (A3) in Mithuna. Thus, death was to occur in Bhratrishoola Dasa of Dhanur.

Year of death This can be tentatively fixed from Sudarsana Chakra. Sani is in Thula and aspects Dhanur, Mesha and Karkataka. Counting years from 3rd Bhava, we have 39th (Mesha), 42nd (Karkataka) & 45th (Thula). His brothers died in his 42nd year (Nov. 1995 - Nov. 1996).

In the present case both Vrishabha and Karkataka are in 6th / 8th from Dhanur as well as in 8th / 10th from Thula (housing Bhratrukarak Sani) respectively.

Chart 37

 Upapada Lg: Simha (UL)  Arudha Lg: Thula (AL) The relationship with coborns depends on two factors. First is nature and placement of Lord of Drekkana (D-3) Lagna vis-a-vis Grahas / Rasi determining the co-born and second is atmosphere prevailing that is seen from Drekkana Lagna itself. In chart 37, the most fruitful and peaceful Meena rises in Drekkana indicating a desire for harmony that is vitiated by presence of Mangal (war, property) that is aspected by Rahu from 5th Bhava. This indicates property disputes with coborns. She is the youngest born. Let us examine each of individual elder coborns. Immediate elder co-born is a twin elder sister born at 07:10 am. An even Rasi rises in Lagna in Drekkana and elder co-born are to be seen from every 11th Bhava counted in reverse, i.e. Vrishabha, Karkataka, Kanya, Vrischika, Makara and so on. Sukr, Lord of Vrishabha is in a dual Rasi Mithuna explaining the immediate elder twin sister (ES1). Now treat Mithuna as Lagna of the immediate elder sister and study chart. Upapada of this sister (UES1) is at Karkataka with Rahu (instigator of property dispute) in it and I ventured that property disputes have arisen on account of machinations of this brother-in-law who has also been considerably tormenting her sister (Sukr). This was confirmed. Next elder co-born is a brother (EB2) as Chandr is in Mesha. He is emotional and does not take enmity unless provoked. Property dispute will see him changing sides very often (Chandr). Next elder co-born is a brother (EB3) as Budh 11th Lord from Karkataka (i.e. Lord of Kanya) is in Vrishabha. This brother will believe in 'Meemamsa' and will not be a part of the dispute. Normally Budh in Vrishabha will indicate a female, but Parivartan Yoga between Budh and Sukr alters the situation. Thus Sukr in a male Rasi gave a sister while Budh in a female Rasi gave a brother. Next elder co-born will be seen from 11th from Kanya in reverse, i.e. Vrischika and its Lords Ketu and Mangal. The latter indicates brother (EB4) who being in Trikonas to Rahu and aspected by the latter has fallen prey to machinations and has adopted belligerent tactics to posses the paternal property. 2nd elder brother Chandr (EB2) being in a Rasi of Mangal is very strongly influenced by this 4th elder co-born (EB4). Next elder co-born is Sani (Lord of Makara) in Vrischika indicating a sister (ES5) who has not been very fortunate, while next elder co-born (ES6) is ruled by Guru Lord of Meena and is very rich and fortunate as it is placed well in Simha. Having completed six Rasis, Manduka Gati (frog jump) progresses to next Rasi from Meena to Kumbha. Rahu Lord of Kumbha is in Karkataka and indicates next elder co-born (brother EB7) who will also be active in manipulations with brother-in-law (UES1). Next elder co-born is seen from 11th from Kumbha, i.e. Dhanur and since Guru already indicates a female, this elder co-born (ES8) will be a sister who is pious. In this manner each of coborns can be identified and Dasabhukti shall give their periods of good / bad fortune.

After undertaking certain Vedic remedial measures, property dispute suddenly ended. Coborns have compromised and are building a multi strong complex that will suit everybody. 

Significations of 4th Bhava



4th Bhava is a Kendra and forms one of 4 pillars on which horoscope is founded. It rules such vital matters as mother (significator Chandr), vehicles (significator Sukr), home & buildings (significator Ketu), lands (significator Mangal), motherland (significator Sukr), childhood, wealth from real estate, land like mining, petrol etc., education (significator Budh), especially formal education, relatives (esp. maternal), happiness (significator Guru & Sukr for luxuries) etc. Thus, a proper examination of 4th Bhava will require an in-depth examination of a number of divisional charts. These include Chaturthamsa (D-4) wherein home and properties are studied, Dwadasamsa (D-12) for mother and other elders comprising the cultural heritage, Shodasamsa (D-16) for vehicles and all other luxuries that make living comfortable, Hora (D-2) for wealth that would accrue from real estate, Dasamsa (D-10) that is examined for profession that would be related to real estate / mining etc., Chaturvimsamsa (D-24) wherein formal and informal education and other skills learnt are examined, Khavedamsa (D-40) wherein good / evils from maternal relatives and Karma inherited from mother's side is examined, and Akshavedamsa (D-45) wherein Karma inherited from paternal elder relatives is examined.



Grahas in 4th Bhava



Grahas in 4th Bhava have direct Argala (intervention) on Lagna and can alter the nature of Lagna. Malefics like Surya, Mangal, Sani or Rahu (in the increasing order of evil) can considerably damage a chart.

4.2.1.



Surya



If Surya is in 4th, happiness is reduced unless 4th is Simha or such Rasi where Surya is strong, like Mesha. Native is called upon to take a number of responsibilities on account of parents and proves to be an ideal child in that sense. Argala of Surya on Lagna produces a good soul and god-fearing disposition, gives a robust personality fond of pomp, show & glitter.

4.2.2.



Chandr



Chandr in 4th Bhava gives a happy disposition and good learning. Being a watery Graha, Jaimini ascribes travels like river, lake or sea voyages to this position of Chandr. Unless afflicted by Sani, native is blessed by his mother and is always fortunate being helped by ladies. Since Guru gets exalted in 4th Bhava of natural zodiac, some astrologers add birth of a son to this position of Chandr. However, general principle to time birth is to see Trikonas, 7th & 12th Bhava from concerned Bhava. For example, if birth of children is being predicted, Grahas in Trikonas to 5th Bhava, its 7th & 12th Bhava can give birth of a child. Thus, birth of a child can occur during period of a Chandr in 4th Bhava as it is 12th from 5th Bhava. Native shall be religious and respectful of priests.

4.2.3.



Mangal



Mangal in 4th is considered an unfortunate combination. By its nature it will give poverty, anger, family disturbances especially for parents, troubles, problems pertaining to real estate business, instability of residence and a dilapidated / broken down / badly located home, great labor in childhood etc. Since it has Argala on Lagna, traits of Mangal like bellicose disposition, short temper, hardheartedness etc. will be seen in native and will mark a period of misfortunes. However, if Mangal is placed in its own Rasis, ownership of lands and properties is assured while if placed in Karkataka or Vrishabha, negative impact on the nature of native is negligible as fire of Mangal is quenched.

4.2.4.



Budh



Some astrologers opine that Budh in 4th is ineffective. Excellent vehicles and wealth are assured as well as good education. As Budh rules the speech, native may have oratorical skills or may be a singer. Since 4th is the place of mating, it is likely to give many love affairs and disturbances at home. He may be troubled by his paternal inheritance and tends to accumulate useless items like a child.

page ~ 45 ~



4.2.5.




Guru



A well placed Guru in 4th Bhava gives education, home, happiness, vehicles, properties etc. Its Argala on Lagna works like a divine shield against various evils and can give name, fame and reputation. A happy home is vouchsafed. Early life will be easy, luxurious and peaceful and parents will be a great asset.

4.2.6.



Sukr



Sukr in 4th gives excellent friends, properties, vehicles, spouse, home and happiness. Childhood is very happy and comfortable and parents are fortunate. Education is also very good. If Sukr is with Ketu and Mangal in 2nd or 4th Bhava a Rajyoga is constituted that will begin functioning in early life.

4.2.7.



Sani



Conversely Sani in 4th causes one to be selfish, conceited and hardhearted. Home is dirty or dilapidated. Besides, causing Argala on Lagna, Sani also aspects the same indicating a lazy person who will always be troubled due to his own errors / isolation. He is overburdened with work (Graha in 4th aspects 10th) and is always pulled down due to the same as well as domestic bickering. Even if well aspected or conjoined, Sani cannot give permanent happiness. Sorrow, especially in childhood is assured. The source of sorrow is seen from Grahas / Rasis influencing Sani. For example, if Chandr conjoins Sani, early demise of mother could be a shock to young child. A lot of physical effort will be required to achieve success and depending on Rasis, Yogas etc., the same may come late in life.

4.2.8.



Rahu



Rahu in 4th can be damaging for all matters of 4th Bhava unless exalted or in own Rasi (Kumbha). Unless Chandr is placed in 4th or 12th Bhava or in strength, early demise of mother may occur. Even in such places, Chandr should have Paksha Bala and should not be in Gandanta or Dagdha / Soonya Tithi. Native may be addicted to pleasures and could consequentially take to bad ways thereby ultimately seeing a lot of sorrow. Since Rahu will have Argala on 2nd, it will influence wealth and sudden rise / fall in the same will occur. Rahu in 4th can either produce a saint or a fraud depending on the nature of Grahas in Lagna. If Satwik Grahas like Surya, Chandr or Guru are in Lagna, a saint is produced. Contrarily, if Tamasic Grahas like Mangal and Sani occupy Lagna, a fraud is produced. Rajasik Grahas Sukr and Budh will give results on the basis of placement, conjunction aspects etc.

4.2.9.



Ketu



Ketu in 4th is auspicious for landed properties and buildings and income from the same. However, associates and friends could belong to lower categories and native will be luxuriant. Troubles in inheritance and family peace are indicated. Native will be hardhearted and short-tempered and will tend to ascribe to groups or gangs. Ketu in Dhanur is considered auspicious.

Placement of 4th Bhava Lord



Lord of 4th Bhava is the controller of happiness and hence determines all that will motivate native inwardly. Its placement in 3rd or 6th Bhava may make native fond of combat. If it is in Lagna, being in Trikonas to 9th Bhava, he will have good relations with his father and will gain from father's position / authority. Instead, in 2nd, native will hanker for wealth and will be inimically disposed to his father. In 10th, 4th Lord tends to make home / mother unstable and relation between parents may be constrained. However, professional success is also indicated. Some astrologers opine that 4th Lord in 7th Bhava makes one exceedingly learned. However, 4th Lord would oppose Lagna and unless other factors are strong a high education may not be assured. Instead, 4th Lord in an Upachaya (3rd, 6th, 10th or 11th Bhava) does indicate growth of 4th Bhava especially if it is Vargottama or conjoined / aspected by Lord of Trikona (1st, 5th or 9th Bhava). Such association would constitute a Rajyoga and will lead to growth of Bhava. Instead, even if 4th Lord is placed in a Kendra, if it associates with Lord of a Dusthana (3rd, 6th, 8th or 12th Bhava), Bhava will suffer.

4.3.2.



Other placements of 4th Lord



There are other small riders that should be borne in mind. For example, 4th Lord in 8th Bhava is always bad excepting Surya in Dhanur where, as 4th Lord it will surely give properties in foreign lands. If 4th Lord conjoins / aspects any of significators like Chandr, Mangal, Ketu etc., such signification of 4th Bhava is enhanced. For example, 4th Lord conjoining Budh and Chandr gives Sarada Yoga (a name of Goddess Saraswati, divine teacher) and great learning, writing etc. is indicated in chart. If instead it conjoins Mangal or Ketu, lands / buildings are obtained and Sukr conjoining gives excellent vehicles while Guru gives happiness and prosperity. Relationship with one's mother shall depend on placement of 4th Lord from Lagna Lord as well as from Chandr. It will also depend upon placement of Chandr from Arudha Lagna. If Chandr is in 7th or 12th from Arudha Lagna, there is friction / losses due to one's mother and hence, relationship is not smooth. Similarly if Chandr is so placed from Upapada, friction / losses are due to mother-in-law. page ~ 46 ~



4.3.3.




Arudha Pada of 4th Bhava



Arudha Pada of 4th Bhava is called Matru Arudha and its placement in Kendras / Trikonas from Arudha Lagna indicates the blessings of properties, home, mother etc. If Matru Arudha is in 3rd / 11th Bhava from Arudha Lagna there is a friendly relationship with mother. If Matru Arudha is in 6th Bhava form AL enmity results, if in 8th Bhava from AL, mother belongs to a poor family and if in 12th Bhava, losses are indicated. If Chara Matru Karak (Graha that becomes temporary significator of mother in a chart) is placed in a Dusthana from Matru Arudha, mother may have poor health. If each of Sthira Karakas (fixed significators) of 4th Bhava is well placed from Matru Arudha, signification prospers. For example, if Matru Arudha (A4) is 6th Bhava from Arudha Lagna with exalted Chandr in it, native's mother will surely be powerful and prosperous, but relationship with mother will not be good.

4.3.4.



Source of happiness



Placement of 4th Lord from 4th Bhava also indicates source of happiness etc. or its denial. For example, if 4th Lord is in 12th Bhava, it will be in 9th from 4th Bhava and native will be denied happiness from father.



Chart 38

 Arudha Lg: Kumbha (AL)  Matru Pada: Vrishabha (A4)  Upapada Lg: Kumbha (UL) In chart 38, Vrischika rises with an exchange of Bhavas (Parivartan Rajyoga) between Sani, Rahu (Lords of Kumbha 4th Bhava) and Mangal Lord of Lagna. While this combination is a Rajyoga guaranteeing happiness, it does indicate a strong attachment for mother. Lagna Lord in 4th gives ill-health to mother and she could be short-lived. However, the latter part has not happened due to Parivartan Yoga. Matrupada is in Vrishabha with a debilitated Ketu in it showing lack of domestic harmony due to a nagging mother who will always be ailing with one disease or other. Arudha Lagna is in Kumbha with Chandr in 12th Bhava from it showing that native will like his mother, but she will hate him and will be cause of losses. Since Chandr in 12th is aspected by Sani, Rahu & Ketu native was driven out of his shop-cum-clinic and his mother not only agrees with such an action of younger brother, she is openly antagonistic towards native. However, whenever she falls sick native rushes to her side and takes care of her. A very peculiar situation has developed in which native keeps getting kicked, yet is duty bound to his mother. Since 11th Bhava (gains) from Arudha Lagna is aspected by Budh he has asked a relative to intervene and resolve property dispute. It may be noted that due to Parivartan Yoga between Sani and Mangal, Sani gives results of Mangal and indicates losses from younger brother (Mangal). It may also be noted that since Guru is in 7th from Arudha Lagna, as 11th Lord and Karak, elder coborns are denied, i.e. native is the eldest. Chart 39 Chart 39 - male, born on 4th January 1964, at 04:00 pm IST, at Delhi, 28 N 39, 77 E 13.  Arudha Lg: Kanya (AL)  Matru Pada: Mesha (A4) In chart 39, Arudha Lagna is in Kanya with Chandr in 12th Bhava in Simha aspected by Sani and Sukr from Makara and Matrupada (A4) from Mesha. This shows strained relationship with mother (Chandr) who will cause loss of properties (Chandr in 4th Bhava aspected by (A4) from Mesha) in collusion with native's elder brother (Sani) and sister (Sukr). This event occurred in 1996 in the beginning of Mesha Dasa (Narayan - Padakrama). Mesha is not only 12th Bhava, it disposits Matrupada and aspects Chandr in 12th from Arudha Lagna. Mesha is also 8th Bhava from Arudha Lagna and has Argala on Sani and Sukr in Makara showing gains to elder brother and sister. 4th Lord Surya is in 8th Bhava as Guru is in 11th showing that many properties will come in life. Surya also conjoins Bhoomikarak Mangal and Grihakarak Ketu to confirm this reading. Native has acquired his own house now and is working hard to build his fortunes.

page ~ 47 ~




It may be noted that 12th from Arudha Lagna is Bhava of losses and unless 4th Bhava / Lord is strong it could indicate early loss of mother. In both Chart 38 & 39, Lord of 4th is strong by conjunction with friendly Grahas / Rasis or involved in some Yoga.

Chart 40 - male, born on 12th January 1966, at 06:20 am IST, at Madras, 13 N 04, 80 E 16.

Chart 40

Chart 40 is horoscope of a leading newspaper magnate as is evident from the powerful Dharmakarmadhipati Yoga of Surya and Budh in Lagna. Since 7th Bhava is involved in Yoga it includes business related to publishing and guarantees power and proximity to political leaders. Arudha Lagna is in 11th Bhava in Thula with Chandr (mother) in 12th from it. This is further aggravated by conjunction of 4th Lord Guru with Rahu in 6th Bhava from Lagna and Surya. Matrupada (A4) is in Karkataka in 8th Bhava as its Lord is in 12th from Arudha Lagna. Native lost his mother early. Since Chandr is aspected by Budh (relatives) and Surya (father) and also due to Guru Chandal Yoga of 4th Lord, maternal relatives ejected his father out of family business. His father had to struggle very hard to reestablish himself. Silver lining is presence of Upapada (UL) in 4th Bhava in Meena. Native married a lady from the family of his maternal relatives that marked the end of differences and harmony returned to the family.

Timing The demise of mother is timed from Matru Shoola Dasas (refer Jaimini Sutras). In this chart, 10th Bhava is stronger than 4th and will initiate Matru Shoola Dasas. Both Mangal and Chandr are in Trikonas in earthy Rasis. Thus, earthy Rasi or fiery Rasis in 8th can cause death. Shoola Dasas beginning from Kanya are for 9 years each and mother's death occurred in 1st Dasa itself. There is another method to confirm the longevity of mother. Consider Lords of 1st, 8th and 10th Bhava counted from 4th Bhava from Lagna. Here 4th Bhava is Meena and Lord of 1st and 10th Guru is afflicted by Rahu in a Dusthana from Lagna. 8th Lord Sukr is also afflicted by Mangal and Rahu & Ketu. Since none of the three is strong, negligible longevity is indicated. This method of longevity estimation finds mention in most of important works like Brihat Parasara Hora Shastra, Jaimini's Upadesa Sutras, Jataka Parijatha etc. If at least one is strong, longevity is upto 36 years and if 2, upto 72 years and if all 3 are strong, Matrusukha even beyond 72 years of life of native.

Chart 41

 Arudha Lg: Kumbha (AL)  Matrupada: Kanya (A4)  Upapada: Makara (UL) Details about spouse are to be examined from Upapada. In chart 41 Upapada (UL) is in Makara in 12th from Arudha Lagna. Ketu is in 4th Bhava from Upapada as natural mother significator Chandr is in 7th Bhava from it. This indicates either opposition from mother-in-law or her demise before marriage. In Navamsa 10th Bhava represents mother-in-law being 4th (mother) from 7th (spouse). Surya ruling 10th Bhava is placed in 8th Bhava confirming demise of mother-in-law before the marriage.

Timing demise of mother-in-law Sthira Karaka for wife and in-laws is Sukr as per Jaimini. 4th Bhava from Sukr is Meena which should be treated as Lagna of mother-in-law. 8th Lord (Rudra) from Meena is Sukr placed in Dhanur. Now, Jaimini has explained that Shoola Dasas for father are also applicable for all relatives of father and Shoola Dasas for mother are applicable for all maternal relatives. Hence, Shoola Dasas for spouse should also apply to all relatives of spouse. These begin from 1st or 7th Bhava whichever is stronger. Hence, Dara Shoola Dasas begin from Thula and are for 9 years each. Next step is to estimate tentative longevity. As indicated earlier the longevity is low for mother-in-law. Now, treating Meena as Lagna, Lords of 1st (Guru), 8th (Sukr) and 10th (Guru) are all placed in Dusthanas (3rd / 12th) from natal Lagna. 3rd Dara Shoola Dasa of Dhanur should prove to be a killer and page ~ 48 ~




mother-in-law should have died between 18 - 27 years of native, i.e. November 1975 to November 1984. Mother-in-law expired in 1978.

Property In this chart also Matrupada (A4) is in 12th Bhava from Lagna and 8th Bhava from Arudha Lagna (AL) Kumbha. Lord of Mani Arudha viz. Budh is in malefic Vrischika (litigation / dispute) in conjunction with Sani (elder coborns) and aspects Makara, 12th from Arudha Lagna. Narayana (Chara) Dasa of Mesha from 1991 - 1997 houses malefic Ketu that obstruct Argala of Sukr on Lagna besides being in aspect to Budh and Sani in Thula. When native met the scribe in November 1997 it was clearly stated that professionally he would have suffered a severe setback and that in last 6 years in spite of all remedial measures like using blue sapphire and emerald (!) native would have lost property that would have been taken over by elder coborns. In fact by using blue sapphire (Sani) and emerald (Budh) vibrations of these Grahas causing losses is aggravated. Instead a white sapphire would be ideal to harmonize beneficial influences of Sukr and Guru on 11th Bhava from Arudha Lagna and Matrupada.

Chart 42

 Arudha Lg: Karkataka (AL)  Upapada Lg: Vrischika (UL) In chart 42, Upapada is in a martian Rasi Vrischika and there are no Grahas either in Trikonas to it nor in 7th Bhava (Vrishabha) from it. Thus, Lord of Upapada will signify Lagna of spouse. Mangal is Lord of Upapada as well as 7th Lord and is well placed in 7th Bhava forming Ruchak Mahapurush Yoga. Examine planetary positions from Paka Upapada Lagna (Mesha). 12th is Meena aspected by Chandr and Rahu. Chandr in Moola is in Gandanta Nakshatra and some bad news pertaining to mother-in-law's health should be expected around the time of fixing the marriage (i.e. engagement). Explaining the above to the lady and indicating that she should keep fast on Tuesdays as well as other remedial measures to ensure that the marriage comes through, the scribe waited for results. After a few days lady again contacted astrologer and she was sternly asked to keep far away from 'boyfriends' in office and that it would be a kind of self-arranged marriage (Mangal in 7th). A few days later girl met prince charming and got engaged but within a month her fiancé's mother expired due to a cardiac arrest. However, she persisted with Vratas (fasts etc.) and the marriage came through. According to Jaimini, Sthira Karaka for husband is Guru. 4th from Guru is Mesha. Nov, treating Mesha as temporary Lagna of mother-in-law, 8th Lord therefrom (Mangal) is placed in Mesha. Thus, Dara Shoola Dasas of fiery Rasis can be dangerous. Between Lagna and 7th Bhava, the former is stronger with 2 Grahas, thereby initiating Dara Shoola Dasas of 9 years each. Dasa of Dhanur is from 18th to 27th year (October 1991 to October 2000). Mother-in-law expired in 1996 in Antardasa of Mithuna (3rd Bhava from Mangal housing Sani & Ketu and Badhak from Dasa Rasi Dhanur).

On seeing this chart I had enquired as to whether native has had at least on strong emotional bond (both physical and mental) with a lady for more than one year. This was replied to in affirmative. Astrologically, I follow the code for marriage as given in Mahabharat, i.e. couple should be mentally and physically united for one solar year at least. Ceremonies differ from one culture to another. Upapada is in Vrishabha with Mangal in 2nd Bhava in Mithuna clearly showing this attachment in youth. In such a situation, 8th from Upapada should be treated as Upapada for 2nd marriage. This is Dhanur and its Lord is in Thula which is Lagna of the lady in chart 42.

Demise of mother Chandr and Mangal are in mutual aspect in dual Rasis. 4th Bhava is stronger than 10th Bhava and will initiate Matru Shoola Dasas. Dasa of Kanya between 18 - 27 years proved page ~ 49 ~




to be the killer. Kanya houses Chandr with aspect to Mangal (Rudra Graha from Chandr). Arudha Lagna (AL) is in Simha with Ketu in it. Hence planetary positions (as well as Argala) should be reckoned in reverse. This is an important principle. Chandr is in 12th from Arudha Lagna (Ketu) showing early loss of mother. Matru Arudha (A4) is in Vrischika and should be examined. Transit of Sani in Trikonas to this and Guru in inauspicious Bhavas should prove adverse. This happens in 1996 when Guru transits Makara (3rd) and Sani transits Meena (5th). Again from Shoola Dasa Rasi Kanya, Lords of Dusthanas (3rd, 6th, 8th & 12th) are Ketu, Sani / Rahu, Mangal and Surya. Death occurred in Kanya - Simha Shoola Dasa - Antara housing Chandr & Ketu respectively. The peculiar connection between marriage and loss of mother at the same time is seen from presence of Chandr aspecting 8th from Upapada, i.e. 2nd Upapada in Dhanur while being in 12th from Arudha Lagna (Ketu). Thus lunar vibrations give 2nd attempt at marriage and loss of mother. In Navamsa, 7th Lord is in 9th Bhava with Ketu showing abnormal circumstances at the time of marriage. By Sudarsana Chakra, marriage should occur in 27th year in period of 3rd Bhava that is in 7th from Sukr in 9th Bhava. Month of death is seen from Chandr in Navamsa or Dwadasamsa. Chandr is in Vrischika in Dwadasamsa. Death occurred when Surya was in Vrischika.

 Arudha Lg: Simha (AL)  Upapada Lg: Kumbha (UL)  Matrupada: Vrishabha (A4) Chart 44 is quite similar to chart 38. However, in chart 44 Ketu is stronger than Mangal as it conjoins Atmakarak Chandr exalted in Vrishabha and determines Arudha in Simha (instead of Kumbha as in chart 38). This brings about a sea of change in chart. Upapada in both charts is in Kumbha but in chart 38 it conjoins Arudha Lagna making for a happily married house holder while in chart 44 Upapada in Kumbha is opposed to Arudha Lagna in Simha and aspects 12th Bhavas Karkataka & Thula. Native preferred life of a monk at ISKCON. Both chart 38 and chart 44 have exactly similar combinations bearing on 4th Bhava except that chart 38 has Arudha Lagna in 4th Bhava while chart 44 has the same in Simha where 4th Bhava Kumbha aspects 12th from Arudha Lagna. Further, Chandr becoming Atmakarak is in Ghatak Rasi from Lagna in Vrishabha in 7th Bhava (grand-mother). Since Vrishabha is stronger than Vrischika, it initiates Narayan Dasas and the period of Vrishabha is for one year. Thus, within 1st year of birth native was separated from his parents and lived with his grand-parents.

Chart 45

 Arudha Lg: Meena (AL)  Matru Pada: Dhanur (A4) In chart 45, 4th Lord Budh is well placed in its own Rasi Mithuna generating a Bhadra Mahapurush Yoga. It is subject to a negative Papakartari Yoga between Surya and Ketu that indicates loss of vehicles etc. at the time of downfall in business. Kanya 4th Bhava has Argala of Surya in 11th from it obstructed by Sani, Rahu & Chandr in 3rd Bhava from it. Sukr and Ketu in 9th Bhava from it are unobstructed. In Kalamsa (D-16) Karkataka rises with Mangal in 4th Bhava involved in a Parivartan Yoga with Sukr in 5th Bhava. Exact implications of this Parivartan are to be understood as that during sub-sub-periods of Sukr native will prefer to purchase vehicles ruled by Mangal (i.e. choice of army, like Jeeps, Land Rovers, Tata Sumo, Gypsy etc.). The number of the vehicle, expunging area codes etc., should be divided by 12. The remainder should be counted from Mesha. This should be in Arudha Lagna or its 5th, 7th or 9th Bhava or Rasi occupied by its Lord. After entering business native purchased his 1st vehicle on 9th January 1991. Dasa, sub and sub-sub-period was Ketu page ~ 50 ~




- Guru - Sukr. The number of the vehicle was 6966 which divided by 12 gives a remainder of 6 (Kanya). Rasi is in 7th Bhava from Arudha Lagna in Meena. Number of vehicle, when digits are added, gives a single number of 9 (6 + 9 + 6 + 6 = 27, 2 + 7 = 9 - Mangal). Vehicle was a Maruti Gypsy (Jeep). Astrological combinations pointed towards success and rise and in a short span of a few year, he had accumulated half Crore rupees. Chandr on the date was in Swati star in Thula 4th Bhava in Kalamsa as Surya was in Dhanur, Matrupada. With the advent of Sukr Dasa, downturn in business was destined to occur and he took a massive loan for expansion. Simultaneously, he changed his vehicle for a better Tata Sumo. Vehicle was purchased on 15th July 1994 when Chandr was in Kanya in Hasta star during Dasa, sub and sub-sub period of Sukr - Sukr - Mangal. The number of vehicle was 6957 (remainder 9 Dhanur). The sub-sub period was of Mangal who owns Marak places (2nd & 7th) from 4th Bhava in Kalamsa (D-16). Thus, Parivartan Yoga does not automatically make both Grahas benefic. Type of the product is indicated by Mangal while benefic sub-sub-period is indicated by Sukr. With vehicle number sign (VNS) in Dhanur that does not fit into 1st, 5th, 7th or 9th from AL, a massive downfall was expected and it happened. He was on the verge of selling off his factory when he met the scribe. He was advised to first dispose of his Tata Sumo and take another vehicle with VNS at 12 and total of 3 (Guru ruling AL). He was also told that this will happen around October 1997. In Dasa, sub, sub-sub period of Sukr - Surya - Sukr, he purchased a second-hand Sedan of number 3612 (remainder 12 Meena) in October 1997. His business has started picking up and he repaid more than 50 % of debt. Following inferences should be drawn from this case study: (a) Vehicle number sign (VNS) should be in 1st, 5th, 7th, 9th or Paka Arudha Lagna. (b) Total of the digits of the number should be of a Graha beneficial to AL else vehicle can meet with an accident. Table 11 - Numbers of Grahas Surya 1

(c) Vehicle should be purchased during sub-sub-period (Pratyantar Dasa) of Lord of 4th Bhava in Kalamsa (D-16 chart also called Shodasamsa). (d) Lord of 4th Bhava in Kalamsa (D-16) chart should be regularly propitiated for happiness and comfortable life. Till October 1997, when I felt he would purchase a second-hand car, he had various options before that, but only in October 1997 he was offered a Contessa. Number of the car when divided by 12 leaves a remainder of 12 (i.e. fully divisible) which is the same as his Arudha Lagna. His Chart 46 business has automatically started picking up. Chart 46 - male, born on 16th July 1948, at 10:10 am IST, at Poona, 18 N 34, 73 E 58. In chart 46, there is a Gajakesari Yoga in 4th Bhava as its Lord Mangal is placed in 2nd Bhava from Lagna. This indicates the possession of a beautiful house and properties, more so since Mangal is also placed in 4th from Arudha Lagna as 4th Lord Budh is in strength in AL. Native owns factory sheds which he hires out. Arudha Lagna has a powerful Budh - Sukr conjunction in Mithuna indicating possession of fine vehicles. In Kalamsa chart (D-16) Kanya rises with Budh in 9th Bhava to show that luxuries of life will come from father (inheritance). 4th Bhava is Dhanur with Yogakarak. Sukr in it confirming possession of fine vehicles as 4th Lord Guru forms Gajakesari Yoga with Chandr in 2nd Bhava to show all luxuries of modern life. From 4th Bhava, 2nd Lord Sani (a dire malefic for Dhanur) is in 8th Bhava while Mangal not only causes unobstructed malefic Argala on Sukr & 4th Bhava but also aspects Lagna and 4th Bhava (by Rasi Dristi). In Rudramsa chart (D-11) Sukr is in 6th Bhava as malefic Lords of 3rd, 6th and 8th Bhavas, Mangal and Sani, cause Papakartari Yoga on 4th Bhava. Jaimini teaches that in Rudramsa, 6th Bhava should be examined for punishment and 11th Bhava for death-like suffering. Sukr in 6th Bhava indicates punishment due to a weakness for opposite sex. Native was warned to stay away from prostitutes as stars had clearly warned that a severe punishment was coming. In February 1997 during Vimsottari period of Sukr Dasa, Mangal Antara, Sani Pratyantar when he was heading page ~ 51 ~




towards his nocturnal addition, his car overturned. He survived, but injury to his right hand was severe and had to be operated upon. The question posed was whether hand would have to be amputated? 4th Bhava rules loss of arms as per Jaimini and we have Sani - Surya conjunction in Matrupada (A4 Karkataka) pointing at danger. This question was being posed as Pratyantar Dasa of Sani. However, Surya (Ista Deva - Lord Siva) is also Lord of Lagna and Karkataka was aspected by Guru and Chandr placed in 4th Bhava. With a silent prayer to Lord Siva I had replied that the arm would be saved but a few more operations will be required uptill November 1997 when Antardasa of Mangal ends. Keeping with my request Mahamritunjaya Japa was performed and native recovered. After 3 surgeries his arm and right palm have had more than 95 % recovery.

Properties



In Chaturthamsa (D-4) of chart 46, 4th Bhava is Simha with Dhankarak Guru placed in it. Unless Dhankarak Guru is well placed in Chaturthamsa, it is unlikely that native can have wealth through properties. 2nd from 4th Bhava (& Guru) has Mangal and exalted Budh. This Argala indicating possession of properties (Mangal Bhoomikarak) and some of these will be of great commercial value (Budh - business). Thus combination confirms wealth through hiring out as well as using one's own commercial establishments. Native has 4 large factory spaces in Okhla industrial area of Delhi and uses one for his own business. Ownership is guaranteed by exalted Budh (lordship of 2nd and 5th Bhava) and its placement in 5th Bhava (what one owns - Shristhana). Hiring out of buildings factory space is shown by conjunction of 4th Lord Surya with Ketu (Grihakarak - buildings / factory space) in 3rd Bhava (signing of agreements / contracts). 3rd Bhava obstructs Argala of 5th Bhava and hence, during the period of leasing out the factory native can not use it for his own purposes. In this manner effects of obstruction of Argala are to be examined. If obstruction is caused by functional benefics to 4th Bhava, there will be no problems with tenants while functional malefics can give various problems. Sukr, as Lord of Chaturthamsa Lagna plays a controlling role as it represents native and shows his ideals, views etc. regarding properties. Being in 2nd Bhava, it shows his view as being purely wealth oriented. This has Subha Argala (benefic intervention) both on Lagna as well as 4th Bhava thereby showing income from properties that will fill his coffers. Since this Argala is unobstructed, this wealth will accrue unobstructed. Mangal as 7th Lord shows tenants and it conjoins exalted Budh while in mutual aspect with Sukr (Rasi Dristi). A debilitated Chandr is in 7th Bhava aspected by Surya, Sani, Ketu & Rahu. This is a very bad situation. Mangal is also 12th Lord and its aspect on Sukr in 11th from 4th Bhava will tend to deplete revenues from properties. Argala of Mangal on 4th Bhava brings back properties under the control of native, i.e. tenants leave. Native was warned that during Sravana (July - August 1997) in Dasa Antara of Sukr - Mangal in his 52nd year (of life) disaster would strike and some of tenants will have death like suffering and may leave the factories. Unfortunately, this happened as one tenant left, 2 suffered severe financial setbacks and 4th had such a shock that he committed suicide.

Chart 47

In chart 47, 4th Bhava is Mithuna afflicted by Rahu (exalted) as 4th Lord Budh is Vargottama in 6th Bhava. This is in aspect to 5th Lord Chandr in 12th Bhava. Lagna Lord is well placed in strength in Lagna but in watery Meena. This clearly indicates residence away from home but within the country. During Dasa of Guru native stayed at home and completed his education up to 10th standard (matriculation). Sani is 12th Lord, dispositor of Chandr, placed in a movable Rasi and in aspect of Sukr. Even in Navamsa and Chaturthamsa, Sani conjoins Sukr. Thus, Sani Dasa indicates change of residences away from home, but within limits (India) set by Guru.

Place of birth Place of birth is seen from 4th Bhava and with exalted Rahu dominating it shows birth in house of maternal grandfather. Navamsa Lagna is used to indicate general direction of house or delivery room. Watery Rasis show North, fiery Rasis East, airy Rasis West and earthy Rasis South. Since Navamsa Lagna is a watery Rasi, North facing house / room with an East-West road or corridor is indicated. page ~ 52 ~




Narayana Dasa in Chaturthamsa In Chaturthamsa (D-4), Narayana Dasas begin from Rasi occupied by Lord of 4th Bhava in Rasi (D-1) chart. In chart 47, Meena rises and Lord of 4th Bhava (Mithuna) is Budh. Budh is placed in Vrischika in Chaturthamsa. Hence Chaturthamsa Narayana Dasas begin from Vrischika. Periods of these Dasas are obtained by treating Chaturthamsa chart independently and following the same method as outlined for Chara Dasas. Order of Dasas will be obtained by treating 1st Dasa Rasi as Arambha Rasi (starting Rasi). In the present case starting Rasi is Vrischika and order of Dasas will be every 6th in reverse direction (refer Jaimini's Upadesa Sutras). During most of Vrischika Dasa native resided in house of his maternal grand-father. With the advent of Mithuna Dasa up to 1969 family was residing in small town that was the office for his father when in mining area. In 1969 his father left government job to join private sector near Rourkela (Orissa). This job was for a period of 4 years during Makara Dasa (1969 - 1973). Since Makara houses Surya and its Lord is exalted, very fine company bungalows were provided during this period. With the advent of Simha Dasa, family moved to Bhubaneswar (Chandr - Bhubaneswari Devi) and native stayed in Bhubaneswar for 7 years coinciding with Simha Dasa (1973 - 1980) during which he completed his 10th standard Board exams. With the advent of Meena Dasa in 1980 and beginning of Sani Dasa (Vimsottari), the stage was set for leaving home for higher studies and true to direction of Rahu (SW) in Meena in D-4 chart native travelled from Bhubaneswar to Bangalore for his pre-college (plus two) studies in science. This period of Meena (1980 - 1983) coincided with pre-college and was followed by Thula (1983 - 1995).

Dasa of a Rasi can be divided into 3 parts each controlled by Rasi, its Lord and Graha in Rasi. This is different from sub-periods which are of 12 Rasis. Thus period of Thula (1983 - 1995) can be divided into 3 parts. These are controlled by Thula (1983 - 1987), Sukr (1987 - 1991) and Sani (1991 1995). During Dasa of a Rasi, direction is seen from it or its 7th Bhava whichever is aspected by Guru, Budh or 4th Lord. Thus, during Thula controlling period (1983 - 1987) in Thula Dasa, direction shall either be given from Mesha or Thula. Mesha is aspected by Budh and native travelled south (Mangal) to study engineering in Madras (Mesha). The course was for 4 years. Rasi occupied by Dasa Rasi Lord is called Paka Rasi and Rasis aspected by Paka Rasi (Rasi Dristi) are also seen for directions. Thus during Sukr (Paka Rasi - Thula) controlling period (1987 - 1991), direction can be obtained from Paka Rasi Thula or Rasis aspected by Thula, i.e. Simha, Vrishabha or Kumbha. During period 1987 - 1991, native was in Bhubaneswar (Chandr Simha) for most of the time. During the last phase of Sani in exaltation, native travelled in Northern direction to reside in Delhi (1991 - 1995) in connection with a job, and in present Vrishabha Dasa (1995 - 2000) he continues to reside in Delhi. North-Western direction of movement occurred due to Chandr and certain remedial measures native had undertaken.

Mangal, Surya, Sani and Budh by Rasi Dristi. In Chaturthamsa (D-4), Budh is in 2nd Bhava as Parivartan Yoga between Sukr and Chandr persists involving 4th and 7th Bhava. This is a powerful combination for properties and luxuries of every kind. Gajakesari Yoga between Guru and Chandr has also persisted in D-4. Mangal as Lord of Chaturthamsa Lagna is in 5th Bhava causing Argala on 4th Bhava that is obstructed by Rahu placed in 12th from 4th Bhava. Conjunction of 9th and 4th Lords Chandr and Guru in 7th Bhava show paternal properties that will give fame due to its expanse. 5th Lord Surya (father) in 8th (legacy) with Sani (inheritance) show inheritance of the same. Strong position of 4th Lord in Chaturthamsa in a Kendra and its involvement in such powerful Yogas with benefics indicates that native will gain a lot from his motherland and will not have to wander to other places in search of a fortune. No doubt that these combination gave him erstwhile kingdom of Mysore.

Education



4th Bhava deals with formal education and school where one is educated. 5th Bhava, being 2nd from it shows knowledge gained (Karaka Guru). 9th Bhava rules higher education. We will be restricting the scope to basic education, informal learning and such other matters.

Chart 49

Chart 49 - male, born on 12th November 1934, at 06:15 pm IST, at 20 N 29, 85 E 52.  Atmakarak: Sani  Matrupada: Dhanur (A4)  Arudha Lg: Meena (AL) Native of chart 49 was born in a poor Brahmin family of Puri (Orissa) as is evident from placement of Lord of Arudha Lagna in 8th from it and 6th from Lagna. However, there are a number of interesting Rajyogas in horoscope due to presence of 4 benefics in Thula. These include Parijatha Yoga (Labhesha, Vidyesha, Dhanesha Yoga) or combination of Lord of gain (11th), education (4th) and wealth (2nd). This conjunction of Guru, Surya and Budh has produced a powerful Rajyoga that promises rise in life (Surya attains Neechabhanga or cancellation of debility due to Mangal in a Kendra in 4th Bhava) due to education / learning. Sharada Yoga is also seen with Chandr in Kendras to Budh and placed in 1st decanate of a movable Rasi (in case Chandr was in a fixed or dual Rasi, it should be in 2nd / 3rd Drekkana respectively for the Sharada Yoga). Sharada is a name for goddess of learning. This is further strengthened by presence of Matrupada in a Kendra from Arudha Lagna. Thus, combinations indicate good education. In spite of birth in a very poor family native stood 2nd in board exams, qualified for scholarship assistance and became an engineer. Indications of Rasi chart should be confirmed in Siddhamsa (D-24). In Siddhamsa, Chandr is in a fixed Rasi (stability of mind) as its dispositor (called Subhapati) is exalted and aspects Lagna. This shows good mathematical and analytical skills and prepares the ground for a good scholar. Surya, representing illumination, is also in a fixed Rasi as it's dispositor Sukr is exalted in 9th Bhava of higher education with debilitated Budh. Thus, Budh gets Neechabhanga. 9th Lord and Karaka for knowledge Guru is exalted in Lagna forming a Dharmakarmadhipati Yoga (DKY) with Mangal that is excellent for higher education. Viewed from 4th Bhava (Thula), Lord is exalted and its dispositor Guru is also exalted. Debilitated Chandr in 2nd Bhava causes Papargala (malefic intervention) that has Neechabhanga but no obstruction. Thus, during Vimsottari Dasa of Chandr, problems in education occurred and there was a danger of discontinuing studies. However, with the advent of Mangal Dasa, native travelled a short distance to reside at his brother-in-law-s house and completed his education and later in Puri he finished his matriculation with flying colors. Nodes are well placed in 10th Bhava and are aspected by Mangal involved in DKY. Thus, Rahu Dasa gave results of Yoga and native received scholarship to complete his engineering. During Rahu - Sani he was offered scholarship to pursue his Masters and Doctorate studies in USA by the great philanthropic industrialist Shri G.D. Birla, but due to a tight financial situation at home the same had to be declined and he took up a job. Sani is Lord of 7th & 8th Bhava and a malefic for Karkataka and is placed in 12th Bhava (foreign travel). Sani also aspects 9th Bhava (higher education) and is a Yogakarak reckoned from 4th Bhava Thula. Thus, this travel to a foreign country and higher studies would page ~ 54 ~

 Arudha Lg: Vrishabha (AL)  Matru Arudha: Mithuna (A4) In chart 50, Arudha Lagna is in Vrishabha with Rahu in 12th Bhava. This is a specific combination for great religiosity and spiritualism. Rasi chart (D-1) has a powerful Dharmakarmadhipati Yoga (DKY) in Lagna producing great knowledge, learning and international fame due to Guru in Karkataka. Guru is also in Lagna in Navamsa showing a genius intellect. In Navamsa, 5th Bhava has exalted Chandr and Rahu. This coupled with Guru in Lagna gives ability for critical examination of scriptures and production of masterpiece literature. His lifetime work "Savitri" is perhaps greatest prose in contemporary Indian literature. In Rasi chart, Lords of 11th, 4th and 2nd Bhava are conjoined in 2nd in Simha (Labhesha, Vidyesha, Dhanesha Yoga or Parijatha Yoga). This is a very powerful combination for learning and native was very well educated and, against all odds, did compete and clear ICS examination to serve as a bureaucrat in British India. In Siddhamsa (D-24), there is a powerful Gajakesari Yoga in Lagna. Gajakesari Yoga in 1st / 7th Bhava can give a lot of fame and in Siddhamsa, this fame comes due to knowledge / learning. Guru as Lagna and 4th Lord shows good attachment towards learning. It is also Subhapati (dispositor of Chandr) placed in Lagna showing that mind is inclined towards learning. Surya is in a fixed own Rasi Simha in 9th Bhava with nodes (foreign influence) and gave him higher studies for competitive examinations (ICS) in a foreign land. Sukr generates a Vipareeta Rajyoga with Sani in 3rd Bhava (conjunction of Lords of 6th and 3rd Bhava in 3rd). Conjunction of Badhakesh Budh with this combination removes all Badhak (obstacles) in the path and education is uninterrupted. Noteworthy placement is that of Mangal 5th Lord ruling knowledge in 12th Bhava in Vrischika. It was during Mangal Dasa that his learning of the occult and mysticism, spiritualism and Yoga started in a strong way. This was supported by his most ardent disciple 'Sri Ma' who was born in Mesha Lagna of Mangal. Chandr, as 8th Lord in Lagna also supports mysticism and occult studies. 

5th Bhava significations



5th Bhava is a Trikona and is Rasi determining future prospects on the basis of Purvapunya. It controls the middle age and matters pertaining to knowledge, learning, children, love, affection, authority / power and Bhakti (prayer or Mantra) are divined from it. Guru is natural significator of all these matters and in addition, Sukr signifies love and affection while Surya / Mangal would signify authority and power respectively. There are various paths for Deva Upasana (lit. worship / spiritualism) of which Bhakti5 / Gyana6 Yoga is seen from 5th Bhava and Vimsamsa (D-20) chart. Dharma is seen from 9th and meditation from 12th Bhava. Love and affection are seen from Sukr and Navamsa (D-9) chart where as Guru governs universal brotherhood (Vasudeva Kutumba). Power and authority are examined from Dasamsa (D-10) and Panchamamsa (D-5) as well. Grahas in 5th Bhava have a pronounced influence on Lagna and can considerably alter nature of Lagna. It is for this reason most authorities have given similar results for Grahas 5 6

in 1st and 5th Bhava. In 5th from Navamsa Lagna or Karakamsa, the skill and intelligence of native is seen and accordingly his profession is shaped.

5.2



Argala of 5th Bhava



Grahas in 5th Bhava have Argala on Lagna, and unless obstructed by more Grahas in 9th Bhava, they can force matters on native. In general, Graha in 5th Bhava should not be inimical to Graha in Lagna. For example, if Guru is in Lagna, Sukr, Budh, Sani or Rahu in 5th Bhava can be quite disastrous as they will hinder the blessings of Guru. Instead Surya, Chandr or Mangal will be very favorable. Grahas in 5th leave their distinct impression in chart. If Surya is in 5th, being a loner, it will give few children and will not be very beneficial for female children. Instead, Sukr in 5th favours female children, but can be very malefic for mother as it will be in 2nd from 4th Bhava (ruling mother) and is a natural enemy of Naisargika Matrukarak Chandr. However, being natural significator of mother tongue / motherland, it will make native devoted to his nation. Surya in Bhava of knowledge gives brilliance, creative abilities and imagination. Native is happy-go-lucky type and likes socializing as opposed to Sani in 5th that gives melancholia, loss or deprivation of children and stupidity. Mangal in 5th can cause loss of children and having Papargala on 7th Bhava, by being in 11th from it, it causes domestic disharmony, i.e. fight with spouse. Caesarian child birth is likely and its aspect on 11th Bhava may cause fights / differences with friends. Thus, although native is intelligent, he is brash and impulsive and is often the cause of his own problems. In this manner effect of a Graha in 5th Bhava can be divined. Nature of deity worshipped is seen from the strongest Graha in 5th Bhava. Vedic deities of Grahas are as follows: Table 13 - Graha's deities Surya Shiva

Chandr Gauri / Parvati

Mangal Kartikeya / Skanda

Budh Vishnu

Guru Indra

Sukr Sachi, Lakshmi

Sani Brahma

Rahu Durga / Simhika

Ketu Ganapati

A very elaborate scheme of Brahminical deities and other forms of worship of the Middle Ages in India is available in Prasna Marga. Vedic scheme of deities has the sanction of Parasara and Jaimini. Entire gamut of remedial measures is controlled by 5th Bhava and is beyond the scope of this book. The above deities should suffice for Hindu's.

5.3



Placement of 5th Lord



Placement of 5th Lord is crucial in determining direction of life after marriage and upto middle age, i.e. period governing birth of children and growing up. If 5th Lord is in Lagna, native in very intelligent, kind-hearted and knowledgeable. He could also have good knowledge of politics and other affairs connected with Surya (Karak of 1st Bhava). 5th Lord in 2nd gives love for money and good finances. He may have a good voice and be a singer and will be well placed. Aspecting 8th Bhava from 2nd, it could bring in diseases and death. If 5th Lord is a natural malefic, it could be adverse for wealth. Having Papa Argala on 4th Bhava (i.e. being placed in 11th from 4th), it could cause sorrow and general unhappiness. Thus, the effects of placement of 5th Lord in any Bhava will be governed by the following: (a) Its nature as a natural benefic or malefic. Natural malefics are better off in Dusthanas from Lagna, i.e. 3rd, 6th, 8th or 12th Bhava. (b) The matters connected with Bhava where Lord goes will be emphasized as 5th Lord will surely give knowledge of the field. (c) Bhavas on which 5th Lord has Subha / Papa Argala (i.e. benefic / malefic intervention) shall be affected in a positive or negative manner. (d) Bhavas aspected by 5th Lord, both by planetary and Rasi sight (Graha / Rasi Dristi) shall give results during their Dasa. (e) Placement of 5th Lord from Chandr and Guru should be examined for self and children respectively. For example, if 5th Lord from Lagna is placed in 2nd from Chandr Rasi, native will be a good singer. If said Graha is a malefic and is connected with Mangal and Budh, there will be disease in the throat. Thus, placement of Graha from Chandr Rasi is to be similarly viewed as it were from Lagna. For matters concerning children, placement of 5th Lord and Grahas should be seen from Guru. If there are Grahas in strength from Guru, they can indicate the number and nature of children. Placement of 5th Lord from Guru will indicate extent of gains from children etc.

Mantras



I have seen that many astrologers are quite free in the matter of prescription of Mantras (sacred spells or mystical formulae). If 5th Lord does not have good relationship with Lagna Lord, propitiation of 5th Lord with spells could endanger life of children. Hence, the choice of Mantra should normally be in the lines taught by Maharishi Brighu as follows: (a) Graha in 5th Bhava. If more than one is there, then the strongest Graha shall show the guiding Mantra. For example, with Surya in 5th, Brighu Sutram advises worship of Surya god. This could start with monosyllable (Beejakashara) "OM" or "HRIM" to be followed by Astakshari and so on. In one Brighu chart with Mithuna Lagna page ~ 56 ~




and Badhak Lord Guru in 5th Bhava the worship of Guru is advised. Thus, first criteria for the choice of Mantra for the whole life should be Graha in 5th Bhava. (b) Graha aspecting 5th Bhava should be chosen only if there are none in 5th Bhava. (c) If there are no Grahas occupying or aspecting 5th Bhava, then Mantra should be of Lord of 5th Bhava and only if it has a good relationship with Lord of Lagna. (d) If in above case, Lord of 5th Bhava does not have good Sambandha with Lord of Lagna, its dispositor should be chosen. Similarly, during periods of Grahas having nothing to do with 5th Bhava, it's Lord or Mantra Pada (A5), prescription of Mantras of Graha will be of no avail. There are various other matters specified in texts like Prasna Marga (translated by Dr. B.V. Raman) etc. Vimsamsa (D-20) should be examined for worship.

Procreation & children



There are umpteen rules in standard texts to judge capability for procreation and the number of children. There is no substitute for hard work and good astrologer should study all these texts. However, a few rules are discussed below which will show some of the principles involved.

5.5.1.



Children



(a) Natural benefic Grahas in 5th Bhava are not detrimental for children even if they own malefic Bhavas like 6th, 8th, 12th etc. (b) Similarly, natural malefic Grahas in 5th are not conducive for happiness from children. (c) If 5th Bhava is owned by either Sukr or Chandr and is aspected or occupied by Sukr or Chandr, many children will be born. The principle involved is the strength of the fluid element (Jala Tatwa) in the body. Thus, it is a prerequisite to have strong fluid elements influencing 5th Bhava. If instead, fiery elements are present, remedial measures will be necessary. (d) If 5th Bhava is Makara occupied by Sani and Mangal, native has 3 daughters. If instead, this combination is in Kumbha in 5th, native has 5 children while in other Rasi, children will be denied. Combination of 2 malefics Sani and Mangal can be very damaging for 5th Bhava in any Rasi, but in 5th in Rasis owned by Sani, 5th Lord is strong. (e) If Guru is in 5th Bhava, there will be 5 sons of which 3 survive. If Guru in 5th is in Meena very few children are seen while a stronger Guru in Dhanur (Moolatrikona) children are obtained with difficulty. If Guru is even stronger by being in Karkataka or Kumbha (Guru in Kumbha gives results akin to being in exaltation) in 5th Bhava, children will be denied. This is based on the principle of "Karaka Bhava Nyasa", i.e. a natural significator placed in Bhava damages the significations. (f) If there are many malefics is 12th Bhava, children may not be born. Malefics in 12th Bhava deny physical felicity between the couple and hence children are not produced.

Pregnancy



In the matter of pregnancy, Saptamsa (D-7) holds the key. This has already been explained in detail in my book Maharishi Jaimini's Upadesa Sutras and a few examples have been added at the end of this Chapter. Suffice is to say that final result should be pronounced only after examining Saptamsa chart as in some cases where 5th Lord is exalted and Guru is very strong in a Kendra, children have been denied. Remedial measures in this case are seen from Santana Tithi (Santana Tithi is the difference in longitude of Surya and Chandr multiplied five times each and divided by 12° after expunging multiples of 360°).

5.5.3.



Posyaputra Yoga



Posyaputra Yoga or obtaining of a child not one's own is seen when 5th Bhava or Lord is associated with Rasis of Budh or Sani. If 5th Bhava is also conjoined or aspected by Sani and Mandi, this is due to the denial of children. If instead Upapada or 7th Bhava / Lord associates with Rahu, this child could be due to marriage with a widow who already had children from 1st marriage.

5.5.4.



Denial of children



The denial of children could be due to curses incurred in the past birth. These have been elaborately listed in Brihat Parasara Hora Shastra along with the remedial measures and include Brahma Shapa (curse of priest / astrologer), Pitru Shapa (curse of father or elderly paternal relative), Matru Shapa (curse of mother or her lineage), Satru Shapa (curse of enemy) etc. Let us examine Brahma Shapa to understand the underlying principles. Conditions for this curse are as follows: (a) Rahu in Meena or Dhanur - Rahu represents the curses of past birth and is hence a Karmic control Graha. In Rasis of Guru it shows the curse due to a priest, judge or a good astrologer etc. (b) Guru should be conjoined or aspected by Mangal and Sani - Guru is debilitated in Makara owned by Sani and exaltation Rasi of Mangal. These Grahas aspecting Guru can block it to the extent of denying (Mangal) or delaying (Sani) the fruits of Guru (children). Simultaneously, 9th Lord should be in 8th Bhava to confirm the curse. If this condition is not fulfilled, remedial measures will help easily. page ~ 57 ~




(c) Surya, Chandr or Guru as 5th Lord, if placed in 8th Bhava with malefics. Guru, Karaka of 5th is called Brahmanaspati (fruits of Brahma) and hence, Satwik Grahas Surya, Chandr or Guru will represent saints, Brahmins (priests) and learned men respectively whose placement in 8th Bhava (curse) with malefics will deny progeny. (d) Guru in 5th Bhava conjoined or aspected by 6th Lord - 6th Bhava is Maraka for children and association of its Lord with Guru in 5th Bhava (already causing loss / denial due to Karaka Bhava Nyasa) will constitute a curse (6th Bhava - anger, enmity) from a Brahmin (Guru). In this manner type of curse can be understood and suitable remedial measures should be seen from Brihat Parasara Hora Shastra. These curses can occur in any Trikona (1st, 5th or 9th Bhava). If in 9th Bhava, they afflict father and fortune of native and if in Lagna, they afflict the name and life of native.

5.5.5.



Procreation confirmation



However, before pronouncing a curse and its remedy, astrologer should confirm that chart is physically capable of procreation. Maharishi Jaimini has given two infallible methods to confirm this. (A) Deha - this method is based on Rasi chart. Determine Arudha Padas of 3rd and 9th Bhava from Lagna and Surya. Arudha Padas of 3rd and 9th from Surya (AS3 and AS9) constitute the ability to sustain an Atma (soul) in the form of sperm, i.e. sperms should have life in them. Arudha Padas of 3rd and 9th from Lagna (A3 and A9) constitute physical ability to procreate. If Surya is in 2nd, 6th, 8th or 12th Bhava from any of these Padas, the same is damaged resulting in infertility. Similarly, if Sukr and Budh conjoin these Padas they produce infertility. If either of 2 Padas is not damaged, childbirth is delayed and not denied. If Padas from Lagna are afflicted as above, medical attention is required and astrologer should not attempt remedial measures unnecessarily. (B) Saptamsa - Saptamsa has final say in the matter. If Sani, Sukr and Budh are in Trikonas alone, then native is barren irrespective of all Yogas in birth chart. This is an overriding rule.

5.6



Timing of birth



Timing of birth of individual children, their nature, abilities and fortune is seen in Saptamsa chart. This has been explained in detail in Maharishi Jaimini Upadesa Sutras. First child is seen from 5th Bhava counted zodiacally or reverse depending on whether Lagna is odd or even (some take Vimsapada / Samapada for this reckoning). Subsequent pregnancies are seen from every 3rd Bhava (Manduka Gati). Thus, if an odd Rasi ascends in Saptamsa, individual pregnancies are seen in 5th (first pregnancy), 7th (second pregnancy), 9th (third pregnancy), 11th (fourth pregnancy) etc. If an even Rasi ascends in Saptamsa, individual pregnancies are seen in 9th Bhava (first pregnancy), 7th (second pregnancy), 5th (third pregnancy), 3rd (fourth pregnancy) and so on. Sex of the child is seen from Lord of Rasi ruling Bhava of pregnancy. If Lord is exalted or conjoins male Grahas (Surya, Rahu, Guru, Mangal) the issue is male. If Lord is debilitated or conjoins female Grahas (Chandr, Ketu, Sukr) the issue is female. Sani and Budh are eunuch Grahas, but I have found them to indicate female and male children respectively. If Lord of Bhava ruling pregnancy is neither exalted nor debilitated nor conjoins other Grahas, then sex of the child is seen from the nature of Rasi occupied by it. All odd Rasis excepting Kumbha and Mithuna are male birth Rasis while all even Rasis except Karkataka and Meena are female birth Rasis.

Table 14 - Birth - gender of Rasis Male Rasis (01) Mes (04) Kar (05) Sim (07) Thu (09) Dha (12) Min

Female Rasis (02) Vrb (03) Mit (06) Kan (08) Vrk (10) Mak (11) Kum

Details regarding fortunes of individual children can be predicted by treating each of Rasis occupied by Lord of pregnancy as Lagna. For example, Rasi occupied by 7th Lord should be treated as Lagna of the child from 2nd pregnancy. If Lord of the child has good Sambandha (relations) with Lord of Saptamsa Lagna, there will be amicable relation between the parent and child. If Lord of any child is in 7th from Saptamsa Lagna, the said child will oppose the parent. If Lord of a child is in Kendra from Lord of Saptamsa Lagna, then the parent and child become Parampara Yogakaraka (mutual co-workers). If Lord of the child, being a natural benefic, is placed in 3rd or 6th Bhava from Saptamsa Lagna or its Lord, then the child shall be responsible for the defeat of parents or the parent shall suffer loss of wealth etc. If Lord of the child is in 12th Bhava from Lord of Saptamsa Lagna, the child will reside in a foreign land away from the parent. In this manner fortunes of individual children can be foretold. Similarly, marriages of children are seen from Upapadas from Lord of the child. These principles can also be applied to Drekkana Lagna for coborns. Controlling Bhava for children in male charts is 5th Bhava and in female charts is 9th Bhava. Thus, Maraka (killer) Bhava in male charts will be 6th Bhava (being 2nd from 5th) and in female charts it will be 10th Bhava (being 2nd from 9th). Thus, if Lord of a child is placed in these Bhavas or conjoins 6th / 10th Lord or if 6th / 10th Lord is in Bhava of the child, pregnancy maybe lost or the child may die.

5.6.6.



Lord of Saptamsa Lagna



For all child births, Lord of Saptamsa Lagna holds the key. If Lord is in 6th / 10th Bhava, male / female native maybe averse to children. If Lord of Saptamsa Lagna associates with 8th Bhava, disease may result causing delay or denial of children. Graha governing Vimsottari Dasa should have Subha Argala (benefic intervention) on Lord of Saptamsa Lagna or obstruct Papa Argala. Then only can childbirth occur during Dasa of Graha (Satyacharya principle of treating Dasa Graha akin to Lagna is used in this manner). page ~ 58 ~




Antardasa Graha should have some relationship with Lord of the child / pregnancy, or be placed in Trikonas, 7th or 12th from it. Thus Dasa Lord takes Lord of Saptamsa Lagna to Antardasa Lord who brings particular child. This Yoga results in childbirth. Pratyantar Dasa is normally of a Graha in Trikonas to Saptamsa Lagna who invariably contributes Lagna of the child (timing rising Rasi at the time of delivery). For a double confirmation, learned astrologers would do well to prepare independent Narayan Dasas from Rasi occupied by Lord of 7th Bhava (in Rasi chart) in Saptamsa. For example, if Meena is Lagna in Rasi (D-1) chart, 7th Lord is Budh. Rasi occupied by Budh in Saptamsa will initiate Narayan Dasas.

5.7



Power



Power or the rise due to Karma is seen in Dasamsa (D-10) which has been dealt with separately. However, authority is seen from 5th Bhava and Panchamamsa (D-5). Grahas placed in strength in Panchamamsa will give Rajayogas. 5th Bhava and Lagna in D-5 chart should be examined for this purpose. Ascendancy to power and coronation are seen from this division. If Lagna at the time of swearing-in or coronation is a Dusthana from Lagna, the power is lost easily.

Thus, there is a likelihood of absence of children. However, since Guru is retrograde, children should be adopted or obtained in abnormal circumstances. Arudha of 3rd Bhava from Lagna (A3) and Surya (AS3) is in Mesha with Surya in 7th Bhava therefrom showing procreative abilities. Arudha of 9th Bhava from Lagna (A9) and Surya (AS9) are in Kanya conjoined Budh and with Surya is 2nd Bhava from them showing infertility. Since Lagna is stronger than 7th Bhava, results of A3 are expected to predominate over A9 and it is inferred that native is fertile. Now, Guru in Kumbha shows absence of children but its retrogression and Sani 5th Lord conjoining Karmic Graha Ketu shows children after remedial measures. Next natural step is to examine marriage and here, 7th Lord Mangal is debilitated in 10th Bhava (sudden marriage - own decision) with Rahu (widow). In Navamsa, Sani and Ketu are in 7th Bhava as 7th Lord Mangal is in 2nd Bhava (2nd marriage) Vrischika showing that the lady he is to marry may be older than him or equal age and that she will marry a second time. As watery Rasis dominate both in Rasi and Navamsa for 7th Lord, she will be a Brahmin. During Rahu Dasa Mangal Antardasa, between 1987 to 1988, native fell in love with his friend's widowed sister-in-law. She was a Brahmin. He secretly married her in a temple and with the advent of Guru Dasa, he lived separately with her. Saptamsa also has Kumbha in 5th Bhava aspected by Budh from Simha. Posya Putrayoga is clearly indicated in Saptamsa and confirms the initial readings in Rasi chart. Kumbha has 2 Lords Rahu (in Meena indicates male) and Sani (in Kanya with Ketu indicates female). Thus, native will also adopt 2 children, one male and other female of the widow whom he remarried. This marriage and adoption itself is natural indication of Grahas and remedial measure that was undertaken subsequently showed that since 7th Lord Mangal conjoins Guru, a son would be born of the wedlock. This son was born during Guru Dasa, Budh Antara. Although a little out of context, readers may note that Upapada is in Mithuna with Rahu and Mangal in 2nd from it. However, Lord of Upapada was exalted and conjoined 2nd Lord from Upapada., i.e. Budh and Chandr conjoin in Kanya (Sri Krisna). Native was advised to go to Lord page ~ 59 ~

 Arudha Lg: Kanya (AL)  Mantra Arudha: Karkataka (A5)  Darapada: Meena (A7)  Upapada: Karkataka (A7) In chart 52, Surya is in 5th Bhava indicating few children, chiefly male and is involved in a powerful Parivartan Yoga with Budh involving 4th and 5th Bhava. This is Rajyoga indicating great rise is life through political patronage and wealth after birth of a son. These initial readings are further confirmed by presence of Arudha Lagna (AL) in 5th Bhava in Kanya. However, 5th Bhava is Kanya as its Lord Budh is in mutual aspect with Sani. This hints at possibility of Posya Putra Yoga and Saptamsa (D-7) should be checked. In Saptamsa, Kanya is 5th Bhava aspected by Sani and Mangal from Meena indicating possibility of one adopted son. Since Vrishabha is in Lagna and is an even Rasi, counting should be in reverse for individual pregnancies. 5th Bhava counted in reverse will be 9th Bhava Makara with Budh in it again confirming Posya Putra Yoga. Sex of this first adopted child is seen from Lord of Makara (Sani). Sani is in Meena (male) conjoining Mangal (male). Hence, first child will be an adopted son. Now, why will the couple adopt a child when Guru in Lagna in Rasi (D-1) chart can remove all Putra Dosha? 7th Lord Mangal is debilitated in 3rd Bhava hinting at a love marriage. Its conjunction with Sukr in Upapada confirms the love marriage. With Budh in 2nd aspected by Sani, this is sure to happen. In Navamsa, 7th Lord Sani conjoins debilitated Rahu in Vrischika indicating marriage with a widow. 7th Lord from Naisargika Darakarak Sukr is Sani and is placed in strength in Kumbha in Rasi and conjoins Rahu in Navamsa (D-9) to again confirm this marriage. Since both Rasi and Navamsa occupied by Sani are fixed, wife will be staying in a close-by place. Chara Darakarak (temporary spouse significator) is Guru, placed in debility in Makara in Navamsa indicating that spouse will have to go through a turbulent period of death of first husband etc. before this marriage. All readings of 5th from Lagna are also applicable to 5th from Guru to confirm the adopted son. Thus marriage with a widow and having a son already born from her are indicated. This event can be timed from beneficial relations to Upapada and 12th Bhava. Chandr in 12th will surely give marriage during its Dasa from December 1985 to December 1995. Chandr has Subhargala of Guru, Sukr and Budh, while Argalas of Guru and Sukr are unobstructed, that of Budh is obstructed only by Ketu. Since Argala of Budh (5th) and its obstruction by Ketu (9th) are equal, they generate a Bandhana Yoga of sorts. Again, Papargala (malefic intervention) of Sani (11th) on Chandr is equally obstructed by Rahu (3rd) generating a Bandhana Yoga. From Lagna, Papargala of Rahu (2nd) on Lagna and Darakarak Guru is equally obstructed by Chandr (12th). Thus, with support, Chandr in 12th will destroy the evil of Rahu in 2nd Bhava. Subhargala of Budh both on Lagna and DK (Guru) is obstructed by Sani while Subhargala of Budh on Upapada is obstructed by Rahu. Thus, in spite of seeing many eligible girls during Dasa - Antara of Chandr - Budh, native could not marry. It was only in Chandr - Sukr Dasa Antara in his 31st year that native married. Sukr is in Upapada and was in Trikonas to Sudarsana Chakra Dasa Rasi (31st year - 7th Bhava Vrischika). Vrischika also has Sani & Rahu in Navamsa. In Saptamsa, Rahu - Ketu axis is in 2nd and 8th Bhava and should have limited the number of children to only one had it not been for Guru in Lagna (D-1) and conjunction of 7th Lord in D-7 chart with the adopted son (Sani). Second child in D-7 chart is seen from 3rd from 9th Bhava in reverse direction, i.e. 7th Bhava and its Lord Mangal conjoins Sani (female). Second child or first issue of native was born in Chandr - Surya - Budh, Dasa - Antara - Pratyantar and was a female (girl child). Next issue is seen from 3rd from 7th Bhava in reverse or 5th Bhava. Its Lord Budh is in Makara and has Sukr, Lagna Lord in 6th Bhava (Maran Karaka) when Sukr becomes Lord of Saptamsa Lagna, the issues (Grahas) placed in 8th from it cannot survive unless conjoined Ketu (Ganapati) as these issues will have Sukr in Marankarak Sthana. Then either the child or father will survive. Next issue is seen from 3rd from 5th Bhava in reverse, i.e. 3rd Bhava. This has Chandr in Karkataka and a boy child was born, as expected in Mangal - Rahu - Budh (Dasa - Antara page ~ 60 ~




Pratyantar). Dasa Lord aspects Saptamsa Lagna Lord Sukr and can give children. Antardasa is decided from Lord of the issue (in this case Chandr). Grahas in Trikonas to Chandr or its 7th or 12th Bhava can give this child Rahu qualities, besides having Argala on Mangal (Dasa Graha). Ketu obstructs Argala of Rahu, but Sukr with Rahu removes obstruction. Thus the child was born in Mangal - Rahu. Pratyantardasa is normally decided from Grahas in Trikonas to Saptamsa Lagna. Budh in 9th Bhava is qualified and gives children in its Pratyantar Dasa. Thus, in timing events for childbirth, the following rules should be borne in mind: (a) Dasa Lord should be related to Saptamsa Lagna or have Argala (unobstructed) on Dasa Lord. In case obstruction is equal in strength to Argala then remedial measures will work during Dasa. (b) Antardasa Lord should be seen from Trikonas to Lord of the issue or its 7th or 12th Bhava, or strong Argalas. (c) Pratyantar Dasa Lord should be seen from Saptamsa Lagna, its Trikonas and other such beneficial Bhavas for child birth.

 Arudha Lg: Kanya (AL)  Upapada Lg: Simha (UL)  Mantraroodha: Kanya (A5) Chart 53 is spouse of chart 52. 7th Lord from Lagna is Sani placed in 9th Bhava (rich husband) conjoined Rahu and Sukr. This generates a dangerous Yoga for destruction of spouse (Rahu & Sani conjoining 7th Lord & Sukr in 9th Bhava). Presence of 2nd Lord Surya and 3rd Lord Budh is also not beneficial for 7th. Upapada is in Simha (2nd Bhava - wealth) conjoined Chandr showing that first marriage will be in a wealthy family. The length of married life is seen from 2nd Lord from Upapada Lagna (UL) or Grahas in 2nd. 2nd Bhava is Kanya with its Lord Budh in debility in Navamsa while Rasi is subject to a disastrous Guru Chandala Yoga of Guru and Ketu aspected by Dara Nasa Yoga of Sani, Rahu & Sukr from Meena. Marriage should be timed from Upapada and 7th Bhava in Rasi and Navamsa and occurred in Dasa - Antara - Pratyantar of Surya - Guru - Sani. Due to Guru Chandal Yoga, she was cheated into marriage with a man already suffering from cancer. However, in the true Indian tradition she remained with her husband and even agreed to have children from him. In Saptamsa (D-7) chart, even Rasi Meena rises and counting for individual pregnancies should be in reverse direction. 5th Bhava counted in reverse is Vrischika having 2 Lords Mangal & Ketu placed in Mesha and Vrishabha respectively. Unlike Purush Jataka, in Stri Jataka, 9th Bhava becomes primary controller of children and 10th Bhava becomes Maraka for children. 10th Bhava in Dhanur and its Lord Guru, if ill placed can terminate pregnancies. Now, between Mesha & Vrishabha, the latter is stronger and Ketu will determine the issue. In conjunction with Guru it causes Chandal Yoga and pregnancy was aborted. This occurred in Surya - Sani Dasa - Antara. Second issue is seen from 7th Bhava (3rd from 9th Bhava in reverse direction) and its Lord Budh is exalted (son) in Kanya. With the advent of Surya - Budh Dasa - Antara, she was carrying this issue. We have already seen how Budh in debility in Navamsa shall terminate life of husband and this happened in March 1992 during Budh Antardasa of Surya's Dasa. However, since she had already made a promise to her dying husband, she carried and delivered the child towards the end of Surya - Budh period on a Wednesday. Her sacrifice and forbearance won her admiration of the community and native of chart 52 came forward to remarry her. Second marriage is seen from 8th Bhava from Upapada Lagna, i.e. Meena. Among 3 Grahas in it, Sukr is the strongest and determines her second husbands Lagna (Vrishabha is Lagna of chart 52). First pregnancy from second husband will be her third pregnancy. This is seen from 5th Bhava in D-7 chart (3rd from 7th Bhava in reverse direction). Its Lord Chandr is in Vrischika (female) conjoined Sukr (female) and debilitated Rahu (female). Thus, first issue after remarriage was a girl. Next pregnancy is seen from 3rd from 5th Bhava in reverse, i.e. 3rd Bhava Vrishabha. Vrishabha is conjoined 10th Lord Guru and Ketu. This pregnancy was terminated / aborted. Next pregnancy should not have normally occurred due to Rahu - Ketu axis, but due to Guru also being Lagna Lord page ~ 61 ~




and Lord of last pregnancy with Ketu, it gave a son (normally for determination of sex of child, chart of father is a better indicator). Chart 54 Chart 54 - male, born on 16th June 1956, at 11:45 pm IST, at Calcutta. In chart 54, 5th Bhava is Karkataka and its Lord Chandr is placed in a mercurial Rasi (Kanya) in a Kendra. There are no Grahas in 5th Bhava. In Navamsa, Chandr is in Mithuna (mercurial Rasi). Counting from Mithuna to Kanya we have four Rasis, i.e. Chandr has to gain 3 Navamsas to reach Kanya or upto 3 children should be anticipated. 5th from Guru is Dhanur aspected by Surya & Sukr from Mithuna and also Chandr (by Rasi Dristi) indicating upto 3 children. In Saptamsa (D-7), an even Rasi Kanya rises indicating counting for pregnancies / issues should be in reverse. First issue (5th Bhava in reverse or 9th Bhava Vrishabha) is ruled by Sukr and since it conjoins Guru (male) is Simha (male), masculine factors dominate to indicate a son. Next issue (7th Lord Guru) is also in 12th Bhava Simha (male) and conjoins Sukr (female) to indicate a female issue. Thus, native had 2 issues, one son and one daughter from his first marriage. Note that Rahu - Ketu axis is along 6th 12th Bhava to limit the number of issues to 2 only (9th Bhava & 7th Bhava respectively). Upapada is in Vrishabha conjoined 7th Lord Budh. It has 2 Grahas viz. Surya and Sukr in 2nd Bhava. Surya is in debilitated Navamsa indicating early loss of wife due to ill health. Native's first wife suddenly developed a strong mental disease during Guru - Guru Dasa - Antardasa. Death cause is seen from 3rd Bhava from Upapada or Chara Darakarak. 3rd from UL is vacant as its Lord Chandr shows mental affliction, whereas 3rd from Surya (Chara Darakarak) has Guru showing sorrow or melancholy and lack of appetite. In Navamsa, Surya is debilitated in Thula and Dhanur in 3rd from it is vacant indicating that the immediate cause of death will be fall from a height. This occurred in Guru Dasa - Sani Antara Sani Pratyantar. Being in 7th from Upapada in the company of a debilitated Rahu in Vrischika, Sani would not hesitate to do this act. As 7th Lord in Navamsa in 2nd Bhava (2nd marriage), it is to bring into wedlock a remarried woman. In Saptamsa (D-7) 5th Rasi from Kanya is Makara ruled by Sani. Since this crosses Rahu - Ketu axis, it shows adoption and since Sani conjoins Surya, it shows a male child. Native's second marriage was with a divorced lady who had a son from first wedding. Native has adopted the child and they are a happy family now.

Chart 55

In 1996, a couple met the scribe and showed this chart (of male). They had lost faith in astrology and had visited at the insistence of a friend. 5th Bhava from Lagna is unoccupied but subject to both, a Papakartari Yoga and a Subhakartari Yoga. 5th Lord Mangal conjoins Chandr. Janma Tithi being Amavasya (Krisna - 15th) Chandr will give results akin to Rahu and can be very dangerous. 5th from Arudha Lagna (AL) has Sani indicating sorrow related to children. Mantra Arudha (A5) is in Kumbha afflicted by Sani. Parasara has taught that Gauna Pada (Upapada - UL) should be auspicious for all matters of spouse and children. Although Upapada is in Karkataka a fruitful Rasi, its Lord Chandr is very weak having Roopa (face) of Rahu due to Amavasya Tithi and is afflicted by Surya and Mangal. In Saptamsa, Vrishabha is in Lagna and count should normally be in reverse direction. However, its Lord Sukr is involved in a Parivartan Yoga (exchange - alteration of views, readings, nature etc.) with Guru. Since Rasis involved are Dhanur and Vrishabha, due to exchange, counting of Bhavas for issues will follow order of Dhanur (zodiacal count) instead of Vrishabha (reverse count). This is an important principle in understanding implications of Parivartan Yoga. Thus, first issue will be seen page ~ 62 ~




from Kanya instead of Makara. Budh being Lord of 5th Bhava is in a fruitful Rasi Thula, but in 6th Bhava and conjoined debilitated Surya (female due to debility). 6th Bhava is a Marak place for children in male charts and only Sukr placed here can survive although born prematurely in 7th month. In view of the above, I ventured that their first issue would be a female and may suffer from severe ill health or have Balarista Yogas in chart. The look on the faces of the couple was enough to tell me that a point had been won for Vedic astrology. Gentleman admitted that he had just recently lost his 4-month old daughter within a few days after shifting to Delhi from Madhya Pradesh (North direction travel - Budh). Now, 7th Lord Mangal (ruling second issue) is conjoined Rahu (male) and Sukr (female) in Dhanur (male). Even if due to Parivartan Yoga, effect will be like conjunction of Rahu, Mangal and Guru in Vrishabha and a male issue was predicted. Thus, both ways only a male child is seen. Pratyantar Dasa would be of Chandr (in 5th Bhava) fixing Lagna as Karkataka for the child. I advised native to keep a fast on all Mondays and propitiate Lord Siva with Panchakshari Mantra as Upapada was in Karkataka. If this was done sincerely, second issue, a male child would be born in Karkataka Rasi (expected Nakshatra was Aslesha whose deity is Rahu as Tithi of Chandr was Amavasya). A few months later the jubilant father came to give good news of birth of the son with sweets. The child (male) was born in Karkataka Lagna, Karkataka Rasi, Aslesha Nakshatra. Lord Siva had answered their prayers and a "famous" son was born.

 Arudha Lg: Vrishabha (AL)  Upapada Lg: Meena (UL)  Mantra Arudha: Kanya (A5) In chart 56, 5th Bhava from Lagna and Arudha Lagna is vacant and its Lord Budh is debilitated. Neechabhanga (cancellation of debility) is brought about by Guru in a Kendra from Lagna. Guru also destroys Kalasarpa Yoga to form Mahapadma Yoga. Thus, the name, fame etc. promised in Lagna shall begin to materialize after 30 years of age (Gu) and will reach great proportions after 43 years (Rahu - Ketu). In Saptamsa (D-7), Vrishabha an even Rasi is in Lagna indicating reverse count. However, there is a Parivartan Yoga (exchange of Rasis) between Surya and Sukr involving Vrishabha and Simha. Hence count shall be zodiacal as given by Simha instead of reverse as given by Vrishabha. Budh is exalted in 5th Bhava indicating that first issue is a son (name Narayana or Sri Vishnu - Ista Devata of Budh. Astakshari Mantra "OM NAMO NARAYANAYA" has the power to exalt Budh). Second issue is seen from 7th Bhava and its Lord Mangal conjoins Sukr to indicate a female issue.

Timing birth of second issue In view of Parivartan Yoga, temporary Lagna for timing birth of children should be taken as Simha. Lagna Lord of Saptamsa is Sukr having Argala of Rahu and also aspected by it. Thus, Rahu Dasa can give children. Sukr is also in Simha temporary Lagna (Paka Lagna). 7th Lord Mangal is conjoined Sukr, has Argala of Budh, Rahu & Ketu. Thus, Budh is qualified to give the daughter. Although Budh is obstructed by Sani, in view of exaltation, obstruction is removed. Pratyantar is to be decided from Trikonas to Lagna and in this case, Paka Lagna, due to Parivartan Yoga. Thus, Mangal, Sukr or Rahu can give the issue in its Pratyantar. Since Antardasa is to be of Budh, Pratyantar of Rahu in 4th from it (Argala) is preferred to Mangal or Sukr in 12th Bhava from it. Thus, Dasa - Antara - Pratyantar (Vimsottari) is Rahu - Budh - Rahu between 25th October 1997 and 13th March 1998. Month and Tithi of birth can be learnt from standard texts. Lagna is to be decided from Trikonas to Saptamsa Lagna or its Lord whichever is stronger. Lagna is stronger in Saptamsa due to Guru and amongst its Trikonas, for second issue, Vrishabha is stronger than page ~ 63 ~




Kanya being a Kendra to 7th Lord Mangal. In Vrishabha, there are 2 Grahas Surya and Guru and the latter is likely to determine Lagna of the issue as it is contributor of strength to Vrishabha. Among 2 Rasis of Guru, Meena is likely. The daughter predicted was born on 9th November 1997 in Kumbha Rasi Satabhisa star in Meena Lagna.

Budh & Sukr are not natural malefics, but malefics for child both as they tend to obstruct natural Putrakaraka Guru. Hence, placement of Sani, Sukr or Budh in Trikonas to Saptamsa Lagna can deny children. Parivartan Yoga between Surya and Mangal (fiery Grahas) involving 5th and 8th Bhava constitutes a Duryoga (malefic combination), constituting the curse of a Brahmin that can deny children. Out of 4 factors of Arudha of 3rd and 9th Bhava from Lagna and Surya, A3 and AS9 are in Mesha with Surya in 8th from it conjoined Sukr & Budh indicating that native could be barren. In Saptamsa (D-7), fiery Mangal is again in 5th Bhava in Kumbha. Lagna Lord Sukr is in 8th Bhava (disease) with Budh (barren) and Badhak Lord Surya clearly indicating denial / delay of children due to some physical defect. In female horoscopy, 9th Bhava is the prime controller of children and 10th Bhava is Marak Sthana (death inflicting Bhava). Chandr is 10th Lord placed in 10th Bhava and being natural significator for motherhood denies the same. Narayana Dasas for chart 57 are in adjoining table. Dasa of Simha began in 1987 and I ventured that the couple was married after 1987 and in spite of a long Table 15 - Chart 57 - Narayana Dasa spell of married life, they were childless. This was confirmed as with the Dasa Years Period advent of Simha Dasa, they were married and in spite of all medical aid, Mes 4 Nov. 1966 - 1970 they were still childless. Simha is involved in exchange with Vrischika Vrb 6 1970 - 1976 that has Upapada (marriage) and is also a part of Brahmin's curse for Mit 5 1976 - 1981 childlessness. Involvement of such fiery Grahas like Surya and Mangal Kar 6 1981 - 1987 and Rasis Simha and Vrischika shows that the curse is quite strong and difficult to overcome. However, with the advent of Kanya Dasa, some Sim 9 1987 - 1996 remedy can be tried. Keeping in view Brahmin's curse, she was advised Kan 10 1996 - 2006 to recite Gayatri Mantra. To quell the overdominant fiery element and also to bring blessings of Chandr, she was advised to add Jala Beeja Aksharas or Varuna Akshara. Mantra reads: "Om Yam Yam Yam Sah Bhur Bhuvah Swah Tat Savitur Varenyam Bhargo Devasya Dhimahi Dhiyo Yonah Prachodayat". From Vimsottari Dasa standpoint, Rahu Dasa has started from 1987 and hope is likely during Rahu - Sukr Dasa Antardasa. Question of fertility has been dealt in detail in my book Jaimini Maharishi's Upadesa Sutras. Examples cited therein should be studied to obtain a better understanding of this issue.

In chart 58, 5th Lord Mangal is in 12th Bhava with Ketu and 6th Lord Sukr. It is strong in its own Rasi but weak in position by being in 12th Bhava from Lagna and 6th Bhava from Lagna Lord Guru. In Navamsa, Mangal is in Kanya thereby indicating about 2 children (Vrischika (8) minus Kanya (6) gives 2). Mantrarudha (A5) is strong in a Kendra Mithuna conjoined Lagna Lord and Putrakaraka Guru. Temporary significator (Chara Putrakaraka) Mangal is used to time wellbeing of children. In Saptamsa (D-7), Mesha is in Lagna with Surya and Ketu in Trikonas. As 5th Lord in 5th Bhava, first issue indicated by Surya is a male and native has a son. 7th Lord Sukr is in dual Rasi Mithuna (female) conjoined Sani indicating possibility of birth of twins in second pregnancy. Aspect of exalted Budh by Rasi Dristi confirms this. However, Budh is also 6th Lord and survival of pregnancy was doubted. Pregnancy / childbirth is likely to occur during sub-period of Ketu in 5th Bhava. During Budh - Ketu - Sani (Dasa - Antara - Pratyantar) pregnancy occurred. Treat Mithuna as temporary Lagna of second pregnancy. Lagna Lord of D-7 chart, i.e. Mangal represents native and its placement in 2nd Bhava from Mithuna in debility threatens life of the twins as native himself would be against their birth (true). Native's brother-in-law was informed that chances of survival of pregnancy was remote as Mangal in debility in 2nd showed that native would compel an abortion. Conjunction of Guru and Chandr does not alter the situation as both these Grahas are friendly to Mangal and inimical to Sukr. Guru is also Badhak & 7th Lord from Mithuna. The twins were both expected to be girls. Sookshmantar Dasa of Guru in Budh - Ketu - Sani period was from 7th January 1998 to 16th January 1998. Now, if 5th Bhava in natal chart represents children, 8th Bhava from 5th is 12th Bhava that represents longevity of children. Arudha Pada of 12th Bhava, called Upapada or Gaunapada plays a crucial role in determining longevity of children and continuity of lineage. Thus, fasting on days ruled by Lord of Upapada is the best natural remedy against all evils. Death of children or termination of pregnancies can be seen during months when Surya is in Trikonas to Upapada as it would activate 8th Bhava from 5th. Upapada in chart 58 is in Simha and Surya would be in Dhanur between 15th December 1997 to 16th January 1998 and there was every likelihood of abortion. Brother-in-law was informed that the matter would become serious in 2nd week of January 1998. Pregnancy was medically terminated on 10th of January 1998 when Chandr was in Vrishabha (Ghatak Rasi from Chara Putrakaraka and 5th Lord Mangal) in Margasiras (Mangal) star in Sukla Paksha Trayodasi (Guru 13th) Tithi. Chandr was in perfect Trikona to natal Budh. Chart 59 Chart 59 - female, born on 27th January 1955, at 06:32 am, Victoria, 128 W 22, 48 N 25. Lg Ch Bu Sa Sk

Mangal is also Chara Putra Karak as in chart 58. Mangal is aspected by its exalted, retrograde and Vargottama dispositor Guru natural significator for children. Thus childbirth Yogas are strong in chart and presence of 5th Lord and Chara Putrakarak in a fruitful, watery Rasi augers well for 5th Bhava. Arudha Lagna and Mantra Arudha (AL & A5) are both in Kumbha, a malefic Rasi, but conjoined AK Chandr and Budh (dualistic Graha). 5th from AL is a dual Rasi Mithuna. In Saptamsa (D-7) Mesha is Lagna (just like in chart 58) and 7th Lord is in Vrischika a Rasi that indicates twins. 5th Lord (first issue) is in 7th Bhava (second issue) in debility, aspected by Budh (dual Graha indicating possibility of twins) and Rahu (male). It is also aspected by Chandr & Ketu. Most standard texts prescribe involvement of Rasis Mithuna, Kanya, Vrischika or Kumbha for birth of twins. While mercurial aspect indicates birth of twins, as 6th Lord, it could destroy pregnancy. However, in a female chart, if Chandr is in strength, by blessings of Santana Gopala Sri Krishna, children will be safely delivered.



6th Bhava deals with enemies, bad work, service, servants, relatives, mental tension, boils, injuries, agriculture, etc. In physical body it represents the region below navel & back. Natural significator for enemies, bad work, boils, cuts and injuries is Mangal while that for service, agriculture, toil, servants, and physical pain / weakness is Sani. Budh signifies relatives and excessive thought causing mental tension. These are Naisargika Karakas (natural significators). Fixed significators for relatives have been explained in detail by Jaimini and are used for the purpose of longevity estimation. Guru signifies paternal grand-father while Sukr will signify maternal grand-parents. Budh generally signifies close relatives. 6th Bhava is an Upachaya (Bhava of growth) as well as a Trika (Bhava of evil). Thus, Lagna Lord conjoined or in aspect to 6th Bhava or its Lord results in Dhimantha Yoga (intelligent work or growth of intelligence). Since all enmity is purely related to material world, enemies are seen from Arudha Pada of 6th Bhava and Varnada of 6th Bhava. Varnada of 6th Bhava is calculated in same manner as Varnada of Lagna. Native's own prowess, i.e. whether he will fight for material gains or renounce them is seen from 3rd and 6th from Arudha Lagna. Similarly prowess of enemy is seen from 3rd and 6th Bhava from Shastarudha (A6) if natural benefics like Guru, Sukr, Budh etc. are in these Bhavas from Arudha Lagna, native is defeated or renounces the material world. If instead natural benefics are in 3rd / 6th Bhava from Shatruarudha (A6) enemy is vanquished. The support that one gets from relatives (especially maternal uncles etc.) is seen from Varnada Lagna. 6th Bhava from Varnada Lagna (VL) shows one's own maternal uncles and other supporters, while 6th from Shasta Varnada (V6) shows supporters and relatives of enemy. For example, in Mahabharata (epic) the battle is between Yudhistir and his cousin Duryodhan. Thus in chart of Yudhistir Arudha Lagna (AL) will represent him and Shastarudha (A6) will represent his enemy Duryodhan. Bhagwan Shri Krishna, maternal uncle of Yudhistir is seen from 6th Bhava from Varnada Lagna while Sakuni, maternal uncle of Duryodhan, is seen from 6th Bhava from Satru Varnada (V6). Since these Bhavas relate to intellect, Mahabharat shows the battle of wits between Sri Krishna and Sakuni, 2 uncles. This is a difficult concept. A few illustrations have been given in this Chapter.

Grahas in 6th Bhava



Natural or temporal malefics in 6th Bhava give very good result. Surya gives happiness, good physique, success in war, gallantry etc. If Surya is strong or conjoined / aspected by benefics, good results will be felt. Instead, if Sani conjoins Surya or Rahu eclipses it enmity with father and torment by disease, respectively, will occur. If Surya has a higher longitude than Sani or Rahu, the evil will be overcome and relations with father / torment by disease will cease. Instead, if Surya has a lower longitude than Sani or Rahu, the evil will be more in evidence. Mangal or Sani in 6th Bhava is a very good combination. However, if these Grahas are debilitated, Rajyoga results due to success in all competitions. If such a debilitated Graha is also retrograde, enemy is not defeated and shall, later on, gather forces and defeat native. If debilitated Graha is placed in exalted Navamsa, Neechabhanga Rajyoga results in sudden elevation / promotion. If debilitated Graha placed in exalted Navamsa is retrograde, the elevation is for a short time and when, in transit, Graha becomes retrograde, native shall fall from power. Too many malefics joining 6th Bhava will give rise to powerful and dangerous enemies as 6th Bhava gains strength due to presence of many malefics in it. Mangal in 6th makes native industrious, but his effort will not be fully rewarded. While he defeats enemies, they may continue to plot against him. His subordinates will be tormented due to his bad behavior and this results in employee dissatisfaction. Natural or temporal benefics in 6th Bhava weaken significations of Bhavas ruled by them. If Sukr is in 6th Bhava, the matter / persons governed by Rasis Vrishabha and Thula are annihilated. Native suffers from various health complications till marriage. It has been found that health of native improves drastically after marriage. Budh in 6th Bhava indicates ill health due to mental tension or agonies. Budh may cause native to do work that he detests or to do service under undesirable circumstances. However, he will have work satisfaction in spite of impossible odds. Rahu or Mangal conjoining Budh causes native to become rebellious mutineer or a terrorist. A weak Budh indicates troubles from colleagues. Native also suffers due to Tantriks and bad Mantras of evil people. If Gnati Karaka (7th Chara Karaka) is propitiated, evils will end. Guru in 6th Bhava gives good food (as it aspects 2nd) and speech. Native is often helped by people who are defeated. Job satisfaction and recognition are sure to come along with opportunities. page ~ 66 ~

Lords of Dusthanas in 6th Bhava



Lords of 3rd, 6th, 8th or 12th Bhava in 6th Bhava give good results as signification of Dusthanas (evil Bhavas) ruled by them suffer annihilation. This causes Vipareeta Rajyaga if Lord of 6th is also present in a Dusthana (3rd, 6th, 8th or 12th Bhava) and native gains by the loss of others. If Sukr is 6th Lord involved in Vipareeta Yoga, a death or evil results in the family of in-laws or other relatives of spouse around the time of Rajyoga (elevation / promotion) of native. If Guru is involved as 6th Lord, then one's own family suffers around the time of Rajyoga of native. Thus, depending on lordships and natural signification, Grahas placed in 6th Bhava or Bhava occupied by 6th Lord could cause enmity or its annihilation. If 6th Lord is in 5th Bhava, it could cause children or friends (as it aspects 11th Bhava) to become inimical. Other Bhavas aspected by 6th Lord by Rasi Dristi will also show the source of enmity. If 6th Lord is strong and friendly to Lord of Lagna, its propitiation will end strife and enmity and bring about a change of heart. Natural tendency of any person is to be inimical towards those matters / Bhavas wherein 6th Lord is placed. If 6th Lord is in Lagna, he is inimical towards his own family and self. Since 6th Lord would be in 8th Rasi (disease) from 6th Bhava, it gives disease to enemies and good health to self. Danger from dog bite or such hazards in ever present. If 6th Lord is in 2nd Bhava, which is Maraka Sthana (killer Bhava), native is inimical towards his enemies. As 6th Lord is in 9th Rasi from 6th Bhava, enemies suffer misfortunes while native himself becomes fortunate. Similarly, 6th Lord in 3rd Bhava causes one to detest coborns, be cowardly and angry. Being in 10th Rasi from 6th Bhava, it ruins career and wealth of enemy while promoting natives own career and wealth. Similarly effect of 6th Lord in all other Bhavas can be understood. While signification of Bhavas indicated by counting from 6th Bhava to its Lord are damaged for enemy and promoted for native, reverse is true for Bhavas indicated by counting from 6th Lord to 6th Bhava. For example, if 6th Lord is in 2nd Bhava, it is in 9th Rasi from 6th Bhava and the fortune signified by 9th Bhava is destroyed for enemy and promoted for native. However, counting from 6th Lord to 6th Bhava, we have 5 Rasis showing that enemy is helped by his children while native himself is troubled by children.

Lagna Lord in 6th Bhava



Lagna Lord in 6th Bhava with 6th Lord can give boils and other disease in private parts. Similarly, Grahas, whose Rasis have Arudha in 6th Bhava can give disease in private parts. For example, if 4th Lord is in 11th Bhava, boils / disease in privaties is seen as Matrupada (Arudha of 4th Bhava) will be in 6th Bhava. Bhava occupied by 6th Lord will indicate person suffering from boils, cuts or other diseases related to heat (Mangal). If 6th Lord is in Lagna, native himself suffers, in 3rd a co-born suffers, in 4th mother suffers and so on. The region where these problems occur is seen from Grahas conjoining 6th Lord. Surya indicates head, Chandr face, Mangal throat, Guru stomach / navel, Budh back, Sukr eyes, Rahu or Ketu lower region. There are various other dictums in standard texts.

Some very powerful combination are present in this chart. Sani placed in Karkataka in throne or Guru placed in Meena in throne can result in a powerful Rajyoga. Throne is 1st or 10th Bhava. Hitler has Sani placed in 10th from Lagna and in AL in Karkataka. Rahu is in 9th Bhava aspected by Chandr and Guru resulting in a powerful negative Shakti Yoga (see Maharishi Jaimini's Upadesa Sutras). Rahu placed in Shastarudha (A6) will surely give rise to enmity and warfare during its period, and being in exaltation involved in Shakti Yoga and Guru page ~ 67 ~




Chandala Yoga, this war will be of dangerous dimensions causing much destruction to world peace (Guru). The conglomeration of 4 Grahas including AK & Lagnesh Sukr (self & ideals), Budh (Dharma 9th Lord principles), Surya (politics) & Mangal (Ruchak Mahapurush Yoga) in a martian Rasi has resulted in a powerful Rajyoga. Since Rasi involved is martian Mesha with god of war in it, all Grahas function towards a single goal, i.e. war and territorial aggression. In Shastamsa (D-6) a martian Rasi Mesha is in Lagna with 6th Lord Budh in it giving great capacity for scheming in war. This aspected by Rahu, Sukr, Mangal, Ketu and Sani by Rasi Dristi and by Rahu and Sani by Graha Dristi. This gives a very wicked mind in war effort. Grahas in 2nd and its aspects can cause death and defeat. Surya is in 2nd Bhava aspected by Guru from Karkataka. Hitler was born in Vimsottari Dasa of Atmakarak Sukr which shows a difficult childhood. Dasa of Atmakarak can be turbulent period for native while that of Gnatikarak (GK Rahu) will be turbulent for enemies. Narayana Dasas of Hitler start from 7th Bhava, Mesha and progress in zodiacal direction. Since Dasas start from 7th Bhava, Phala (results) will always be seen from 7th from Dasa Rasi. Mesha Dasa was for 12 years and Hitler lived with parents as results were of Lagna Thula. Next Dasa of Vrishabha gave evil results of Vrischika for a period of 11 years (1901 - 1912). Hiller lost his father in 13th year and his mother 2 years later. This event can be easily verified by Vimsottari Dasa as well. In Dwadasamsa (D-12) death of father is seen from 3rd and 10th Bhava. Sukr in 3rd is a killer for both parents while as 3rd Lord Sani will kill father as it is 7th Lord from 9th Bhava. Father died in Sukr Dasa Sani Antardasa. Since Sani is also 4th Lord, it will not kill mother and 7th Lord from Sani, i.e. Budh is empowered to do so as it also conjoin Chandr and disposits Guru. Mother died in Sukr Dasa Budh Antardasa. In year 1914 in Mithuna Dasa - Kumbha Antardasa Hitler enlisted in Bavarian army. Results were of Dhanur being in 7th from Dasa Rasi having Gajakesari Yoga that is afflicted by Ketu. Table 16 - Adolf Hitler - Narayana It was during this phase that Hitler had a narrow escape from death Dasas and started believing that providence (Guru & Chandr combination) Dasa Years Period Age had saved him to achieve a higher goal. The warped thinking could Mes 12 1889 1901 12 result from Guru Chandala Yoga that co-exists with Gajakesari Yoga. Vrb 11 1901 1912 23 With the advent of Karkataka Dasa, Hitler showed his interest in Mit 10 1912 - 1922 33 politics and joined National Socialists. In 1933 during Simha Dasa results of Kumbha 5th Bhava (authority, power etc.) were realized Kar 7 1922 - 1929 40 when Hitler became Chancellor of Germany after a Putsch. Surya and Sim 5 1929 - 1934 45 Mangal in 3rd from Kumbha and Sani in 6th give success due to Kan 5 1934 - 1939 50 Parakrama (bravery). Thu 6 1939 - 1945 56 Vrk 5 1945 - 1950 61 Dasa of Kanya between 1934 - 1939 April gives results of Meena in 6th Bhava and has Sani in Trikonas (lies, falsehood) and Rahu in 4th (cold-hearted). Guru Chandala and Shakti Yoga functioned simultaneously to mesmerize the allies into inactivity when in March 1938 in Makara Antardasa (4th Bhava - home, lands) Hitler simply marched into Austria. This Yoga again functioned in March 1939 with the takeover of Czechoslovakia in Meena Antardasa. This was an easy affair with negligible resistance as Meena is a very beneficial and peaceful Rasi. However, with commencement of Thula Dasa, allies woke up and Ruchak Yoga, Lakshmi Yoga etc. functioned being in 7th from Dasa Rasi. Result during this Thula Dasa (1939 - 1945) would be of Mesha and a World War started in September 1939 in Mesha Antardasa itself. For successful war effort, direction should be on the basis of Dasa Rasi. Dasa Rasi is Thula and Western direction is suitable showing rapid success and territorial gains as Poland, Belgium, Holland, Norway and France fell by 1941. Simha is Badhak Rasi from Dasa Rasi and has 4 Graha conglomeration in Badhak Rasi from it. It is also 3rd Bhava from Shastarudha (A6) and being a malefic Rasi shows that enemy (allies) will have good luck and become aggressive. Simultaneously it is 2nd Bhava from Arudha Lagna and being malefic, obstructs Arudha (AL). The great error of Hitler occurred on 22nd June 1941 when he changed his tactics and attacked Soviet Union in Eastern direction (direction of fiery Rasi Simha). The day was a Sunday (ruled by Surya), Surya was in Shastarudha (A6) favorable for enemy and in page ~ 68 ~




12th from AL, unfavorable for Hitler. Chandr was in Krittika constellation ruled by Surya in the morning and Narayana Antardasa was Simha. This fatal error of Hitler was to change the course of the World war. In next Antardasa of Kanya (October 1941 to April 1942) stars again shifted to favor Hitler being 3rd from AL aspected by Shakti Yoga and Guru Chandala Yoga when Japanese joined the Axis and attacked Pearl Harbor on 7th December 1941 and rapidly marched upto Rangoon by March 1942. On 7th December 1941 Surya was in 22° of Vrischika in Trikonas to Arudha Lagna and in 6th from Shastarudha (A6) thereby favorable for Hitler and evil for his opponents. It was in Trikona to natal Sani. The war ended with the end of Thula Dasa and death of Hitler. Important principles emerging are: (a) Surya in Trikonas to Arudha Lagna (AL) favors native while in Trikonas to Shastarudha (A6) favor the opponent. (b) Rasis in 3rd and 6th from Arudha Lagna (AL) if malefic or afflicted by malefic give success to native while in similar places from Shastarudha (A6) they favor the opponent. Benefic Rasis / Grahas give opposite results. (c) Beneficial Rasis / Grahas in 2nd, 4th, 5th, 7th and 8th Bhava favor native / opponent depending on AL / A6 respectively. Malefic Rasis / Grahas give opposite results. (d) Chandr is best placed in 12th Bhava form Arudha Lagna for territorial conquest and protection of home territory. Chandr so placed from A6 will aid the opponent. Transit Chandr should be studied from natal Chandr and Lagna. These rules can also be applied for deciding success / failure in elections. It is relevant to note that defeat is seen from 2nd Bhava from Shastamsa (D-6) Lagna. In Hitler's chart, 2nd in Vrishabha with Surya in it as Rahu is in Simha with a host of Grahas. For Mesha, Sukr is the chief Maraka and with the advent of Sukr Antardasa in Rahu Dasa from 16th July 1942 the fall of 3rd Reich set in that finally collapsed towards the end of period in 1945. Even Antardasa of AK was disastrous. How did Hitler die? This has been dealt with in separate Chapter. Let us examine charts of a few of Hitler's friends and foes.

 Arudha Lg: Mithuna (AL)  Darapada: Mithuna (A7)  Shastarudha: Mesha (A6) Chart 61 is horoscope of F.D. Roosevelt, President of USA during war years. Compare this to chart 60 of Hitler. Shastarudha (A6) of Adolf Hitler is in Mithuna which is Arudha Lagna (AL) of Roosevelt. Shastarudha of Roosevelt (chart 61) is in Mesha with debilitated Sani afflicting Guru and aspected by Rahu from Vrischika. Arudha Lagna of Adolf Hitler has Sani in Karkataka. Thus Hitler is clearly identified as one enemy of Roosevelt. Other enemy should have something to do with Rahu and Vrischika. This is seen in chart 62 of Emperor Hirohito of Japan who has Rahu in Lagna in Vrischika. Although the World War had started in 1939, USA stayed out as Narayana Dasa of President Roosevelt was of Mithuna, Arudha Lagna having a powerful Sasi Mangala Yoga. Dasa of Vrischika with debilitated Rahu was to provoke USA when on 7th December 1941 in Vrischika Dasa, Karkataka Antardasa, Japanese attacked and destroyed Pearl Harbor, largest naval base of USA in Asia - Pacific region. As indicated earlier Rahu in Vrischika was in Lagna of Emperor Hirohito of Japan. The place of attack is Antardasa Karkataka (Pearls etc.) indicating Pearl Harbor. In transit, Surya was in Vrischika in 6th from AL and on natal Rahu and tends to favor Rasi while Chandr in Janma Rasi in Mithuna on natal Mangal showed very great losses to life and property. Typical of poisonous Rahu and venomous Vrischika, the sting was sudden, deadly and chilling. Since Vrischika is a malefic Rasi having malefic Rahu in 6th from Arudha Lagna, in the long run Roosevelt was destined to win. From Shastarudha in Mesha, Vrischika is 8th Bhava and a malefic Rahu in a malefic Rasi can signal death and disaster for enemy. 9th Bhava is place of succor and support. For Vrischika, this was Karkataka when Pearl Harbor was attacked. Since Arudha Lagna is Mithuna, 9th Bhava Kumbha provides protection. This is an airy and very evil Rasi. Thus the end of war would be marked by a terrible event representing the ire of Kumbha. Budh in it shows that deity is Sri Vishnu and Sudarsana Chakra (a weapon that cannot be obstructed) will be used. Being dualistic Budh in Kumbha in any Saptamsa chart can indicate twins, and in the context of war, choice of targets will be dual page ~ 69 ~




Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Atom bomb that destroyed these cities and population on 6th August 1945 was the ire of Shri Vishnu using Sudarsana Chakra. Event occurred in Kumbha Antardasa in Vrischika Dasa. Surya was in Karkataka and Chandr was in Mithuna. However, constellation was Ardra instead of Margasira as on 7th December 1941. Since 6th Bhava also deals with disease and decay, presence of Shastarudha (A6) in 9th Bhava shows disease in legs. Sani debilitated and afflicting Guru and aspected by Rahu from Vrischika will show the crippling paralysis of legs that President Roosevelt suffered from.

Enemies are seen from Grahas and Rasis aspecting Shastarudha (A6), partners & friends are seen from Rasis / Grahas joining or aspecting Darapada (A7). Roosevelt has Darapada (A7) in Mithuna that is aspected by 4 dual Rasis and is conjoined Mangal and Chandr. Winston Churchill the Prime Minister of England during the war years was born in Kanya Lagna with Mangal in it. Naturally they were to be on the same side. Hitler has Darapada (A7) in Makara aspected by Vrischika, Simha and Vrishabha. Both Benito Mussolini (Duce of Italy) and Emperor Hirohito (Japan) were born in Vrischika Lagna. Grahas debilitated in Rasi or Navamsa, if related to 2nd from Upapada cause destruction of spouse. If placed in 2nd from Arudha Lagna, native is himself destroyed, while if placed in 2nd from Shatrupada (A6) enemy is destroyed. Thus, Grahas in debility can be a hidden blessing in chart. In chart 61, Ketu is debilitated in Vrishabha both in Rasi and Navamsa and is placed in 2nd Bhava from Shatrupada (A6) and in 12th Bhava (worship) from Arudha Lagna. Thus, debilitated Vargottama Ketu brings unflinching blessings of Shri Ganeshi on the President and completely destroys his foes. In Shastamsa of both Roosevelt and Hitler, Rahu, Ketu and Sukr are in 5th Bhava with the difference that Sukr and Ketu are 2nd and 8th Lords in Hitler's (D-6) chart while these are 10th and 4th Lords in Roosevelt chart. Thus, Ganapati (Ketu) becomes greatest force protecting Roosevelt and finishing Hitler. It was during Vimsottari Dasa of Ketu that President Roosevelt fought and defeated Axis powers. Ruling Tejas Beeja (infra-red heat) Ketu also symbolizes A-bomb (heat) that finally ended the war. Chart 62 Chart 62 - Emperor Hirohito, 29th April 1901, 21:05, Zone 9.00, Tokyo, 139 E 46, 35 N 42.

 Arudha Lg: Kumbha (AL)  Shatrupada: Dhanur (A6)  Atmakarak: Budh Chart 62 is horoscope of emperor Hirohito of Japan. Budh is not only Atmakarak, but is also placed in debility in Vargottama in 2nd Bhava from Arudha Lagna. The advent of Budh Antardasa in Guru Dasa (24 June - 30 September 1945) resulted in destruction of Japan by allied forces. Basically, Shatrupada (A6) with 2 Grahas and Guru is much stronger than Arudha Lagna (AL) in Kumbha. Guru is Lord of Shatrupada afflicted by retrograde Sani. In Guru - Guru Dasa - Antara (23rd October 1940 to 12th December 1942) Japan not only entered war but almost overrun SE Asia. With the advent of Sani Antardasa Japan tasted defeat. Being closely conjunct Guru, Sani as 2nd Lord from Shartupada (A6) protects the same and also gives results of Guru while Guru gives results of Sani. In Shastamsa (D-6), Meena is in Lagna and its Lord Guru has gone to 6th Bhava indicating a period of war during Guru Dasa. Presence of Sani in 6th with Guru gives the same results as explained for Shatrupada (A6) earlier and Sani afflicts D-6 Lagna Lord Guru. Thus, while Japan gained during Guru - Guru Dasa - Antara it lost during Guru - Sani. In Shastamsa, Lords of 2nd and 7th Bhava are real Marakas (killers). If these are placed in Lagna, native suffers while if in 6th, enemy suffers. Mangal 2nd Lord is placed in its own Rasi in Mesha and aspects 6th Lord Surya. Budh 7th Lord is debilitated in Lagna. Thus, during Guru - Budh Dasa - Antardasa, Japan suffered A-Bomb attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki and was defeated.

In early morning of 28th August 1997 (Wednesday night Vedic system) native called the author and informed that a theft had occurred at his residence on previous night (just after midnight). Vimsottari Dasa Antara was Sani - Guru. As Guru was in 7th Bhava from Dasa Lord Sani some conflict / tension or ill health was to occur. Since Guru is Lagnesh in Arudha Lagna, these experiences will all be ultimately beneficial to native and no real loss can occur. Narayana Dasa Antara Pratyantar was of Meena - Kanya Karkataka. Meena is Arudha Lagna with Guru, Kanya is Badhak place from Meena and has Sani in it showing ill health and theft / losses. Karkataka is Shastarudha (A6) and will give such negative happenings. This period was to last for a month from 27th August 1997 to 26th September 1997. In transit Sani was in Narayana Dasa Rasi Meena and Arudha Lagna while Guru was retrograde in Makara in debility. On the moment of theft Chandr was transiting Ardra Nakshatra (ruled by Rahu, Trikona to birth star). Since native had slept late after midnight, burglary would have occurred around 04 - 05 am. Lagna rising was Karkataka which is Shatrupada (A6) 8th Bhava from natal Lagna and Shastamsa (D-6) Lagna of natal chart. Transit of Lagna, Rahu and Sukr were the same as natal Shastamsa (D-6). In natal chart, Shatrupada (A6) has Surya and Mangal (2 malefics) in Badhaksthana (place of obstruction) in Vrishabha which is also Dhanapada (A2). Jewelry worth Rs. 40.000 and some cash (Rs. 3.000) was stolen. However, while placement of these malefics in 11th from Shatrupada showed theft / loss of gold, being Badhak from A6 and in 3rd Bhava from AL, they would also favor native. Being Lords of Trikonas from Lagna, they would be favorable after propitiation. Lord of A6 (Chandr) conjoins Rahu and is placed in 12th Bhava from AL showing the thief. In Shastamsa, malefic Rahu in 2nd Bhava steals wealth and is aided by debilitated Sukr in 3rd. 6th Bhava from D-6 Lagna has Guru, Mangal and Surya. As 2nd Lord (killer) Surya in 6th Bhava can cause havoc for enemy / thief. It is evident that protective forces were very strong and that with suitable remedy, wealth could be recovered within 7 days (Mangal). Hindu tradition teaches that when wealth of Guru was stolen by Pani's he propitiated Surya who searched the globe and recovered 2/3 of it. So, native was advised to constantly recite Surya Astakshari ("Om Ghrini Surya Adityah"). He was also told that since Rahu is in 12th from Arudha Lagna, it will make native very religious and spiritual and conjoining Chandr (Lord of Shatrupada A6) God had chosen such an experience. As advised, native went to the police and later after Sankalph, constantly recited Surya Astakshari. The thief was caught on Friday near Ambedkar Nagar, New Delhi by efficient Delhi police just as Chandr entered Karkataka. He was page ~ 71 ~




produced before native on Saturday, 30th August 1997 at 01:00 pm. Transit Lagna was Vrischika 12th Bhava which is Maraka for 6th Bhava and which, if beneficial, gives good sleep. This is also 9th Bhava from Arudha Lagna (AL) and protective force for native. Chandr in transit was in Pusya star in Trikona to natal Guru (in Uttarabhadra star). However, since Meena - Kanya - Karkataka was to last from 27th August 1997 to 26th September 1997, native was to recover his wealth (physically) only later. With the advent of Narayana Dasa of Meena - Kanya - Simha (27th September 1997 to 26th October 1997) native was called to identify the jewels on 6th October 1997 in Anuradha star (Vrischika) and received about Rs. 35.000 worth jewels on 7th October 1997 at 07 pm. Lagna rising at the time of physical possession of the jewelry was Mesha, 2nd Bhava from Arudha Lagna having natal Budh while Chandr was in Jyestha star (ruled by Budh). If Budh is in 2nd from Arudha Lagna it gives abundant wealth and Lagna rising and transit Chandr only prove efficacy of this dictum.

 Atmakarak: Mangal  Arudha Lg: Kanya (AL)  Shatrupada: Kumbha (A6) In chart 62, 11th and 6th Lord is Mangal, a natural malefic placed in an Upachaya in 6th Bhava as Atmakarak. Both as 6th Lord and AK it gives troubles etc. to purge native of his sins of past birth. 6th Lord gives punishment while AK punishes to remove the sins of last birth. Being in 6th Bhava, this indicates boils over entire body. Since his early teens native has been constantly troubled by boils and large pimples over the face and back. Punishment is severe if, in Navamsa also, Atmakarak being a natural malefic aspects Lagna by Graha Dristi. This happens in chart 63 where Mangal aspects Lagna both in Rasi and Navamsa by Graha Dristi. This brings bad heat on the body resulting in boils. It also gives Rajyoga. If Mangal is in 3rd or 8th from AL, Lagna or AK in Rasi / Navamsa in any Rasi other than Karkataka / Vrishabha, these boils are sure to erupt. Depending on the intensity of Mangal these will be pimples / boils or chicken / small pox. If Sani etc. aspects, these will be for long period while Surya / Ketu give short term problems of high intensity. The only saving comes from Chandr and its own / exaltation Rasi Karkataka / Vrishabha. In chart 63, Shatrupada (A6) is in Kumbha (as Ketu is stronger than Table 18 - Chart 63 - Narayan Dasa Mangal due to association with Surya) and has Rahu in it. Dasa of Dasa Years Period Age Rahu started early in 1979 in his 11th year and continued upto Mit 4 1969 1973 4 September 1997 and native was troubled by boils & pimples. Sani Kum 9 1973 - 1982 13 aspects Mangal and Rahu and has Papa Argala on Mangal by being in Thu 9 1982 - 1991 22 4th from it. This is obstructed by Surya & Ketu in 10th Bhava from Kan 12 1991 - 2003 34 Mangal. These boils were extreme during Rahu - Mangal Dasa Antardasa. With the advent of Guru, native learnt Shanti Mantras by Vrb 2 2003 - 2005 36 which the boils disappeared from face, but shifted to the back (temporary). Aspect of Sukr on Mangal from Karkataka shows immediate cure as Chandr in Vrishabha in exaltation is permanent cure. Narayana Dasa of Vrishabha 9th Bhava from Arudha Lagna is to function from 2003 to 2005 when this problem is expected to disappear completely. If we were to use natural years of rising of Grahas, Budh Lord of Lagna and Arudha Lagna will rise in 34th year and skin problems will surely disappear fully. In any case, the use of a rosary of crystals (sphatik) has already started working wonders as this has the cooling power of Chandr.

6th Bhava from Lagna is a fiery Rasi aspected by Mangal only, both by Rasi and Graha Dristi. This indicates boils and sores. 6th Bhava from Arudha Lagna is Kumbha occupied by 6th Lord Sani (long-term problems of boils) and Surya (short period intense heat). As Lord of Shatrupada (A6) Surya is sure to give problems in its period. Narayana Dasa of Kumbha is from 1976 to 1985. Since this as a malefic Rasi, effects of this Rasi will be seen in the last 1/3 portion of period, i.e. 1982 - 1985. In beginning Grahas in Kumbha give results, i.e. Surya & Sani from 1976 - 1979, then its Lord Rahu shall give results from 1979 - 1982 and then Rasi Kumbha rules from 1982 1985. During the phase of Grahas, Surya gives result earlier and Sani being a co-Lord of Kumbha gives result later. In 1976 due to effect of Surya and Mangal already in AL / aspecting 6th Bhava from Lagna, native suffered from chicken pox. Subsequently due to effect of Sani (germs / unclean scales of chicken pox) elder brother also suffered from chicken pox. Aspect of these Grahas on 11th from Arudha Lagna (elder brothers) may be noted. I have indicated another method for timing events in these above lines. Dasa period is divided into 3 parts to be ruled by Dasa Rasi (1/3) Grahas in Dasa Rasi / aspecting it (1/3) and Lord of Dasa Rasi (1/3). If Dasa Rasi is a malefic Pristodaya Rasi it rules the last part, if a benefic Sirsodaya Rasi it rules 1st part and if an Ubhayodaya Rasi (Meena) it rules the middle part. Next consider Grahas in / aspecting Dasa Rasi and its Lord. Benefic Grahas by nature give results earlier. This is a cumbersome method and readers can develop expertise only after adequate practice. Antardasa method of timing is simpler. By using this, disease of native is easily timed as Kumbha [?], if 12th Bhava is associated with Mangal and Budh native develops disease of the nose and throat. In this chart, 12th Bhava is Mithuna, a mercurial Rasi aspected by Mangal by Rasi Dristi. During Kumbha - Mithuna Dasa - Antara native developed serious disease of the throat with sores and pus boils and had to be given penicillin for treatment. As indicated earlier, if Chandr associates with 6th Bhava also, boils / pimples will appear on the face. While Mangal is the strongest influence on AL and 6th Bhava from Lagna, Chandr being Lagna Lord has gone to Shatrupada indicating boils on the face. With the advent of Simha Antardasa in Kumbha Dasa in 1980 native started having large pimples on the lace. Chandr in Shatrupada as its Lord Surya conjoining Sani indicate long-term problems that have continued till the end of Meena Dasa in February 1996. Dasa of Mesha is from February 1996 to 2001. Rasi houses 9th Lord Guru and powerfully aspects Upapada (UL) in Simha having beneficial Chandr. Since Upapada is in 2nd Bhava, it was predicted that in early 1996 native will get married into a wealthy family (UL in 2nd Bhava). The wife will also be born in Karkataka Lagna (due to Chandr in UL). Family of spouse / spouse will be close to home town (7th Lord from Sukr is Chandr in a fixed Rasi) and in Eastern direction (Orissa is in Eastern part of India - Chandr is in Simha a fiery Rasi). Father-in-law will have strong political links (due to Surya ruling Upapada) and may suffer from spinal / other health problems (Surya associates with Sani). This event occurred in 1996 exactly as foretold. Rasi associating with 9th Lord gives reverence for Lord Vishnu and with the advent of Mesha Dasa in 1996, on his birthday an elaborate worship of Sri Vishnu was organized. However, it may be noted that Upapada (UL) and Satrupada (A6) are both in Simha and within a year of marriage relation with wife was severely strained. Chief cause of problem is Surya ruling Shatrupada and Upapada and being placed in 6th from Arudha Lagna. Problem developed in the form of an ego hassle between father & father-in-law. 2nd from Upapada in Kanya ruled by Budh which also aspects Upapada and Satrupada in Simha. During Mesha - Kanya in page ~ 73 ~




October 1997, native arrived at Delhi to start a new life as Kanya is Arudha Lagna and its Lord Budh becomes Atmakarak and is exalted in Navamsa. Native immediately got a job as a sales manager. In spite of this scribe advising him to get his wife after 5 months in March 1998 during Mesha - Simha, native decided on impulse (due to Mangal in AL) to bring his wife and the disaster began. A friend of his (born in Kanya Lagna which is also 2nd from Upapada) is quite characterless and refuses to marry. Native claimed that this friend and his wife had developed illicit relation. This strained marital relations. Native left his job and went back home in December 1997. Thus, it will be seen that as a Yogakarak from Lagna and Lord of Dasa Rasi, sub-period of Kanya having Mangal, was a very good chance for native to start a new life. But, Antardasa of 6th Rasi from Dasa Rasi does not give stable Yogas and Upapada associating with Shatrupada (A6) created havoc for him due to bad aspect of Budh on it. In Graha Sambandha, Chandr in Upapada is very friendly to Budh while Budh hates Chandr and will disrupt her life. Once again it will be seen that sometimes people are afflicted by such negative vibrations that they do not heed the advise of their astrologers and end up suffering. Antardasa of Mesha is to be seen from it or its 7th Bhava Thula. Mangal is alone in Kanya while Sukr conjoining Atmakarak Budh is stronger to initiate Antardasas. These will be in reverse starting from Makara.

 Arudha Lg: Meena (AL)  Satrupada: Kumbha (A6) In chart 65, Lagna Lord Chandr is debilitated in Vrischika but has attained Neechabhanga due to Mangal and Sukr being in Kendras in their own Rasis and generating 2 Mahapurush Yogas, namely Ruchak & Malavya Mahapurush Yogas. Saravali teaches that all Rajyogas and Mahapurush Yogas become non-functional if luminaries Surya & Chandr are debilitated or weak. If Surya is weak, Yogas will never start and if Chandr is weak, Yogas cannot be sustained. Both Budh and Sukr are flanked by luminaries and it will seem, viewed only from Lagna, that a period of Rajyoga is about to begin. However, from Arudha Lagna (AL in Meena) 3rd and 8th Bhava are very evil and presence of Budh and Sukr in 8th Bhava in Thula will threaten life of native. Since this is 4th from Lagna ruling vehicles, danger will come from vehicles. Budh as 3rd Lord shows short journey was being made from Lucknow while Sukr will reinforce vehicle accident part as it rules travels. Shatrupada (A6) is in Kumbha and is aspected by Budh and Sukr. This Budh and Sukr will give inimical results in chart. Being in 9th Bhava from Shatrupada these Grahas will protect enemy / evil Shasta forces and will bring ruin on native. Thus, entire rosy picture of Malavya Mahapurush Yoga etc. is completely altered when hidden nature of Budh and Sukr are revealed by AL and A6. A rare combination of Sani and Ketu is in 12th Bhava from Lagna. If Sani conjoins Rahu / Ketu in 1st to 6th Bhava from Lagna, the last rites of mother will not be performed by native while if they conjoin in any Bhava from 7th to 12th from Lagna, the last rites of father will not be performed. Thus, Sani and Ketu will put native in such a situation that he cannot perform the last rites of his father. From Arudha Lagna, Sani & Ketu are in 4th Bhava causing Papargala (malefic obstruction) through vehicles and properties (matters of 4th Bhava).

Timing event It is evident from above that during Dasa Antara of Budh & Sukr, in Pratyantar / Sookshmantar of Sani & Ketu or viceversa, this accident can occur and a situation could arise that there would be danger to life of father as native would not be in a position to do the last rites. page ~ 74 ~




When Rahu is in Dhanur in debility, transit of Guru in Dhanur will mark an evil period. This transit of Guru was in 1996. When such an evil transit of Guru over debilitated natal Rahu occurs there can be disaster to elders of family and to ones reputation / profession. Simultaneously Sani & Ketu were transiting in Meena in 9th Bhava in Arudha Lagna. Transit Sani over Arudha Lagna can be very bad as transit Surya over Arudha Lagna is very good. A very fine timing of events is through Brighu transits. In this method, transit of Graha both in Rasi and Navamsa is seen. Thus, on the day of the accident, i.e. 21st May 1996, Vimsottari Dasa, sub-period sub-sub period and sub-sub-sub-period was Budh Sukr - Sani - Ketu. Guru was retrograde in 23° 25' Dhanur, i.e. in Vrischika Navamsa. This is technically called Rahu Bhava Chandramsa as Rahu is in Dhanur in Bhava (Rasi occupied by transit Guru) and Chandr is in Vrischika (Navamsa occupied by transit Guru). This brings destructive powers of Rahu on one's personal affairs (Chandr). Similarly, transit Sani foreboding evil was on Arudha Lagna (AL) and in Thula Navamsa (Sani 10° 52' Meena). This brings forth transit called Arudha Bhava Mritamsa as Navamsa transit of Sani is in 8th from Arudha Lagna, and as explained earlier, Budh & Sukr in 8th from Arudha Lagna were activated to give the accident. Thus while using Vimsottari Dasas, good knowledge of Brighu transits is an added advantage for perfect timing. In Dwadasamsa (D-12), 9th Bhava (father) is Karkataka. Dasa Lord Budh is evil in Vrischika being aspected by Rahu 8th Lord from Karkataka. Sukr in 10th can be a Maraka for father being in 2nd from 9th Bhava. Sani is 7th Lord from Karkataka placed in 4th (vehicles) from it in a venusian Rasi and Ketu is in 12th from Sani and with Mangal indicating sudden death. Father died in violent accident on 21st May 1996 in Mangal - Sukr - Sani - Ketu Vimsottari period. Shoola Dasas can also be used to time death. Death of father can be expected in month when Surya transits natal Navamsa. Surya is in Vrishabha Navamsa in natal chart and on the day of the accident, it was transiting Vrishabha. Chandr was transiting Mithuna that is occupied by natal Sani & Ketu and Chandrastama was in progress as it was in 8th Bhava from Janma Rasi (Vrischika). Native's jaw was severely damaged in the accident and he lost his left eye permanently. Thus, he was not in a position of performing the last rites of his father. If Sani is alone in 12th Bhava, left eye may be squinted while with Ketu, it can badly damage / blind the left eye. This came to pass. As such Sukr is also a Karaka for eyes and during combined influence of these Grahas the evil occurred. Now, specific Karaka for left eye is Chandr and Chandr & Sukr were transiting Mithuna over natal Sani & Ketu and in 8th from Janma Rasi.

 Arudha Lg: Makara (AL)  Satrupada: Thula (A6) In chart 66, birth has occurred in Jyestha Gandanta (Chandr in last quarter of Jyestha star) signifying danger during childhood. As such native was a premature delivered and there was danger to life at birth and upto 1 year during Narayana Dasa of Meena (1 year) housing 3rd, 6th and 8th Lords Sukr and Surya. Next Dasa of Karkataka was for 7 years (2nd to 8th year). Karkataka has Rahu in it, is 7th Rasi from Arudha Lagna and its Lord Chandr is debilitated in Vrischika. This would also not be a very good phase, threatening danger and Balaristha (infantile danger of death etc.). Arudha Lagna is badly afflicted by conjunction of Sani and Ketu in it. As Lord of Arudha Lagna Sani, by itself will not be bad, but during conjoined period with Ketu Rahu it will reveal itself awfully. In 1966 during Ketu - Guru Dasa - Antara, parents of the child called on Yogi Minto Maharaj who lovingly caressed left eye of the child and said that a storm shall blow, but the child will be protected. Chandr is Atmakarak (left eye) and is in Vrischika. Just like chart 65, Chandr as Lord of Lagna was in Vrischika, here it is Atmakarak in Vrischika. 3rd Bhava from Arudha Lagna is Meena with Sukr (vehicle, eyes Karak) in it. Shastarudha (A6) is in Thula owned by Sukr showing danger from vehicles. During Narayana Dasa - Antara of Karkataka - Karkataka (having Rahu and Chandr in debility) native was also simultaneously under Vimsottari Dasa - Antara of Ketu - Sani that school bus in which he was travelling overturned. Miraculously, all children were alive. The elders managed to get out but the little children including native were trapped and later rescued. Native suffered an injury in the navel (Brahma Sthana Sani) and a rod just glanced his left eyebrow that was cut and bleeding, but the eye was saved. Blessings of saints always count. The storm did blow, but the child was saved. page ~ 75 ~




Shastamsa provides an easier clue with Rahu and Ketu in 12th Bhava and Sani in 12th from Ketu. Chandr and Sukr conjoin in Lagna showing the part of body (eyes, especially left eye due to Chandr conjoining Sukr 8th Lord). Aspect of Sani on Lagna and Mangal is not desirable as it links accidents to native.

 Arudha Lg: Dhanur (AL)  Satrupada: Mithuna (A6) Various animals from which one could suffer have been listed in Jaimini Upadesa Sutras and other texts. Normally reference is to Navamsa. For example, if Navamsa is Mesha, rats & cats, if Vrishabha quadrupeds, if Mithuna skin problem, worms, if Karkataka water dwelling creatures etc. Danger is seen from Lord of Badhaksthanas and Grahas in 6th Bhava or its Lord. In chart 67, Meena is in Lagna and Kanya 7th Bhava in the place of obstruction. 7th Lord is Budh placed in 6th Bhava clearly indicating danger. If Lord of Badhaksthana (Badhakesh) is in a movable Rasi, obstruction can be easily removed, if in a dual Rasi, then also with some difficulty it can be overcome, but if Lord is in a fixed Rasi native will have to suffer obstruction. Since Budh is in a fixed Rasi no amount of propitiation will help and native is destined to suffer. Animals / danger indicated by Budh is to be seen from its Navamsa. Budh in Simha Navamsa indicates danger form dogs, tigers and other canines. This is reinforced by presence of Ketu (dogs) in 10th Bhava from Lagna in a constellation of Sukr (female - bitch). Sani in 2nd Bhava is also another classic combination for dog bite and in chart 67, Sani is in 2nd from Arudha Lagna. In Rasi chart, Budh is in 6th from Guru (a bad position for Vimsottari results) and in 7th in Navamsa (ill health or danger to physique). In Shastamsa, Guru is Lagna Lord and is afflicted by 2nd Lord Sani. As explained in earlier examples, 2nd and 7th Lord are the real killers and if they conjoin Lagna or Lagna Lord, native is afflicted, while if they conjoin 6th Lord or 6th Bhava enemy is afflicted. Sani also aspects Lagna, 6th Bhava and 6th Lord Sukr. Thus Sani is equally bad for both native and enemy. 6th Lord Sukr is in Lagna, another classic combination for feline danger and with Mangal this is sure to occur. As 7th Lord Budh aspects Lagna and 6th Lord Sukr and is a danger to both. Thus, native was destined to suffer the bite of a dog (female) in Vimsottari Dasa - Antara - Pratyantar Sookshmantar - Pranantar of Guru - Budh - Sukr - Ketu Sani on 13th February 1969. Event occurred at around 01:30 pm and transit horoscope is chart 68. Transit of Sani and Rahu in Lagna is very bad as that of Guru suffering from Chandala Dosha in 8th from Janma Rasi (Kumbha) is bad. Chandr was transiting Ghatak Rasi Dhanur (for Kumbha Janma Rasi, Ghatak Gochar Rasi is Dhanur) in a constellation of Sukr over natal Ketu. Surya was in 9th from Satrupada (A6) and in Janma Rasi (natal Chandr) and was thus very unfavorable. Lagna rising at the time of event was Mithuna Shatrupada (A6) in natal chart containing Rahu. Since transit rising Rasi is 4th from birth Lagna the place where it occurred was the school. In this manner, evils of 6th Bhava can be judged in matters concerning physical body. page ~ 76 ~

 Arudha Lg: Meena (AL)  Satrupada: Karkataka (A6)  Darapada: Kumbha (A7) In chart 65, there are a number of Grahas in 6th Bhava giving rise to a number of Rajyoga and Duryogas. In any war / battle, the strength of Lagna Lord plays a crucial part. Here Lagna is Vargottama and conjoined Lagnesh Sukr in Navamsa. Sukr is in own Rasi both in Rasi & Navamsa. Arudha Lagna is in Meena with 4 Grahas in 8th Bhava in Thula. This will give a tendency to gamble with one's life especially as Lord of Arudha Lagna is also in 8th from it. Arudha Lagna is unconjoined and unaspected, but has Mangal in 6th from it indicating that during period of Mangal native maybe tempted to use unscrupulous methods to earn money. This also gives success in battles and produces a great warrior. Darapada (A7) indicates business and Rasis / Grahas aspecting show the types of business(es) and partners respectively. In chart 68, Darapada (A7) is in Kumbha. This Kumbha shows company and its name starts with "S". Difference between Graha Dristi and Rasi Dristi should be clearly understood as external and internal affairs of company, respectively. Darapada (A7) is aspected by 3 Grahas Rahu, Guru and Mangal. Although native consulted many collaborators, the deal with Japanese finally came through as Mangal aspects both Darapada (A7) and Arudha Lagna (AL) and is placed in Simha. Thus, Mangal in 7th from Darapada (partner of company) is collaboration - Japanese. Guru in 9th from Darapada (financier as 2nd Lord also) is the banker and Rahu in 12th Bhava (expenditure) from Darapada is vendor / supplier. Rasis aspecting Darapada (A7) are 3 movable Rasis Mesha, Karkataka and Thula. Thus, these Rasis will furnish owners of company (or partners of native). Thula has 4 Grahas, Surya (Government - it was a joint venture with a state Government), Sukr (native himself who held 2nd largest share after Government). Note degrees of Grahas. Surya with the highest degree has largest share. Sukr is 2nd. 3rd highest was held by a goldsmith Guru and 4th highest by a trader (Budh). Karkataka has Ketu in it showing a partner who was never part of "inner group" but because of an old friendship was given a share. He was a lawyer handling only criminal cases (typical of Ketu who always protects thieves and anti-socials). Mesha aspecting Darapada shows interest of Mangal (Japanese) who had planned to join at the time of expansion. Shatrupada (A6) is in Karkataka and has Ketu in it. Thus, there was every likelihood of disruption due to Ketu and native was advised by many well-wishers to keep the lawyer out of company, but that did not happen. During Guru - Sukr Dasa - Antara to Guru - Chandr, company was set up, factory built etc. With the advent of Mangal Antardasa in Guru Dasa, expansion was planned by the public issue which stretched into Guru - Rahu; this bombed due to blunder of the banker (Guru obstructed by Rahu) who said that the issue was oversubscribed but later said that there was a communication error. Rahu has Papargala on both Arudha Lagna (name, reputation, status) and on Lagna (health) that are unobstructed. It aspects Satrupada (A6) with Ketu in it and lawyer suddenly decided to enter politics to oppose Government (Ketu lead the revolt). Naturally seeing Ketu becoming malefic, the host of Grahas in 6th including Surya (Gov.), Guru, Budh (partners etc.) all became malefic. Sukr too has Papargala of Rahu and native had a disastrous fall with umpteen court cases, newspaper propaganda etc. Within 6 months all his movable assets were lost paying lawyers fees etc. But true to the strength of Lagnesh, he was determined to fight it out. Rahu in Trikonas to Lagna gives bronchial problems and breathing difficulties. Native suffered from severe asthma & bronchial problems everyday evening and had to be carried to the hospital for oxygen. This crisis continued till 23rd September 1987 when Dasa of Sani began. Litigation due to Budh in 6th in Shastamsa was the real killing factor. page ~ 77 ~


»  Chapter X - 7th Bhava


In Shastamsa (D-6) Sani is Lord of Lagna in 3rd Bhava giving tremendous fighting powers. In fact a beneficial Sani can be a very deadly fighting force and the lawyer who had been the cause of entire tragedy developed cancer. Every month he had to be flown to Bombay for treatment. He suffered miserably and after a long painful treatment expired. Aspect of Sani as 2nd and Lagna Lord on Rahu and Ketu in 12th Bhava (secret enemies) can be very disastrous for them. All cases ended in the favor of native due to propitiation of Atmakarak. However, in spite of several attempts native has not really regained lost glory. 

Chapter X






7th Bhava deals with marriage, sex, passion and related happiness, foreign travel and residence and business related matters. It is also Maraka (killer) as it is 12th from 8th Bhava dealing with longevity, i.e. loss of longevity (just like 3rd Bhava also deals with longevity being 8th from 8th Bhava and 12th from 3rd Bhava, i.e. 2nd Bhava is also a Maraka). It shows first marriage (significator Sukr) along with Upapada (Arudha of 12th Bhava). Being 10th from 10th Bhava it has a strong say in business and profession and being 4th from 4th Bhava it also influences happiness. Thus Grahas in 4th and 10th Bhava can influence 7th Bhava and vice-versa. For example, a natural malefic in 4th Bhava can damage sexual relations of the couple, as they will not find a suitable place for mating. Similarly, an exalted Graha in 10th Bhava will give a big name or status and it will influence partner both in marriage and business. Thus malefics in Kendras cause one to be passionate and such combinations like Sarpa Yoga (presence of malefics in at least 3 Kendras without any benefics) are easier to understand in that they show uncontrolled passions that can be very damaging. Presence of benefics controls this passion and keeps it within socially acceptable levels. 7th Bhava is the door through which native interacts with the world and shows his public relations (significator Sukr).

7.1.2.



Argalas of 7th Bhava



7th Bhava has Argala on 3rd, 4th, 6th and 9th Bhava. Thus matters concerning coborns, copulation etc. under 3rd Bhava will be influenced by 7th as happiness, mother, vehicles etc. (4th Bhava) are. Hence it is not advisable to view any Bhava in isolation, as it tends to distort the image. Being 2nd from 6th Bhava, it is killer for enemies, pets and servants and any link between 6th & 7th Bhava could have wide ranging implications. It could mean something as innocuous as getting married after joining service or having a working wife, or something as serious as having to marry your maid or even bestiality. This will depend on Grahas, Rasis and Lord of Lagna as well. Being 11th from 9th Bhava, it determines the good fortune of native and income / gains of father. Thus 7th Bhava can be a determining factor for end to enmity and harmony (significators Guru & Sukr). Obstruction to these Argalas (planetary or Rasi intervention) is seen for 11th, 10th, 5th and 8th Bhava in 3rd, 4th, 9th and 6th Bhava respectively. Thus, a malefic in 7th Bhava will not only show bad attitudes of spouse, it could also damage relations with co-born, mother or father. However, if a malefic is in 7th Bhava and a stronger benefic is in Lagna, native will intervene in such a way that relations between mother and spouse are not hampered.

7.1.3.



Upachayas from 7th Bhava



7th Bhava is an Upachaya (3rd, 6th, 10th & 11th) from 5th, 2nd, 10th and 9th Bhava resulting in growth of the same. Thus prospects of children, love etc. ruled by 5th Bhava are enhanced by 7th Bhava (marriage). Family and wealth (2nd Bhava) grows, name and profession are enhanced (10th Bhava) and good fortune (9th Bhava) results from a beneficial 7th Bhava. Similarly Upachayas from 7th Bhava are 9th, 12th, 4th and 5th Bhava. These Bhavas depend on beneficence of 7th Bhava to grow. Thus, for example, if malefics are in 9th Bhava they bring misfortune on native and being in 3rd (copulation) from 7th Bhava, cause spouse to become very brave to the extent of forgetting social norms for extra-marital relations. This has been described by Sri Krishna7 as the loss of Dharma (9th Bhava) resulting in corruption of women.

7.1.4.



Marriage



Marriage is seen from Upapada (Arudha Pada of 12th Bhava UL or A12) while business is seen from Darapada (Arudha Pada of 7th Bhava - A7). However, partners for both business and sex are seen from Darapada. Thus, if Darapada is in a Dusthana (6th, 8th & 12th) from Arudha Lagna physical relations with wife will either be negligible or not be there. This is also not good for business stability. However, if Darapada is in 3rd / 11th from Arudha Lagna, there will be cordial physical relations with spouse but poor business prospects. If Darapada is in a Kendra or Trikona from Arudha Lagna, Srimantah Yoga results. Length of married life is a separate issue and should be seen from Upapada. A couple could stay married long because of the strength of Upapada and still sleep apart because of Darapada.

Place of rebirth



Place of rebirth is also seen from 7th Bhava, as it is 8th Bhava (disease / evil or longevity that cause delay in achieving emancipation from rebirth) from 12th Bhava ruling emancipation. Being 9th Bhava (Dharma - principles) from 11th Bhava it shows the guiding principles in making and retaining friends. Thus a bad spouse can estrange one from friends and colleagues.

Grahas in 7th Bhava

7.2.1.



Surya





If Surya is in 7th Bhava or Upapada, spouse has a very high family status and may be proud or have other qualities of Surya. As Surya is opposed to Lagna, native could have a bad character and could suffer from Government action. This will be modified to a large extent by nature of Grahas in Lagna as Rahu in Lagna with Surya in 7th could produce addiction to drugs and other psycho-tropic substances. This can also happen during Dasa of Grahas associated with Lagna or its Lord or Atmakarak and having Surya in 7th Bhava. A beneficial Surya in 7th or Darapada gives assistance and favor of competent people or Government in business and other spheres. Surya, unless debilitated, can never be malefic for Upapada.

7.2.2.



Chandr



If Chandr is in 7th Bhava spouse is of fair complexion and emotional. This can cause a lot of emotional problems and native himself could suffer from heart disease (Chandr is Karaka for the heart). This gives a weak constitution and delicate body. Being a natural benefic in 6th from 2nd Bhava, wealth is forever fluctuating. Similarly, relationship of native with friends is not deep and only temporary. Native always has sex on his mind and this causes emotional disturbances. If Chandr in 7th or Upapada is afflicted and weak, spouse may suffer from mental disturbances.

7.2.3.



Mangal



Mangal in 7th causes sorrow in married life as it has Papargala on 4th Bhava. It gives a short-lived spouse. Even if spouse lives due to aspect of Guru or Sani on 7th Bhava, short temper and bad behavior will spoil marital relations. Native himself is proud and haughty and very warm-hearted, but most relationships are short-lived due to Mangal being in 9th from 11th Bhava.

7.2.4.



Budh



Budh in 7th or Upapada gives a young looking spouse, business connected with books and publishing and knowledge or involvement in litigation. Native is quite popular and can be friendly to all and sundry. Spouse will be very learned and intent on acquiring more education. If afflicted by Sukr and Sani, spouse could be barren. As such, Budh gives weak morals in matters of opposite sex unless aspected by Guru. If instead, Chandr is in Trikonas to Budh, laxity of morals will surely occur. This position gives good business acumen.

7.2.5.



Guru



If Guru is in 7th Bhava, spouse is very learned and could be an author. Native has longstanding friends, is kind-hearted and very fortunate in marriage. Native is always successful in competitions as Guru ends enmity and strife. Good fortune comes after marriage.

7.2.6.



Sukr



Sukr in 7th gives strange sexual appetites, liaison with prostitutes, longstanding but both good and bad friends, and an easy going disposition as it is in 4th to 4th Bhava. Spouse is beautiful, cultured and loving. Artistic skill may also be seen. Financial gains could accrue from marriage or after marriage.

7.2.7.



Sani



Sani in 7th Bhava has directional strength and promotes foreign travel and residence. However, spouse will be industrious, determined and older than normally expected and will be detached. Health will be poor and finances will not be bright in spite of prodding.

7.2.8.



Rahu



If Rahu is in 7th Bhava, native is inimical to spouse or spouse is a widow/er. Spouse will be short-tempered, liking war and controversies or diseased. This is a bad marriage and liaison with prostitutes and other bad ladies is indicated. Poverty comes after marriage. Friends are very bad and native is tormented by enemies. In 7th or 12th from Arudha Lagna, Rahu makes native very religious.

7.2.9.




Ketu



Ketu as Mokshakarak is ill placed in 7th Bhava as it shows detachment from spouse or no marriage at all. Even if marriage takes place, it is with great difficulty. However, in Upapada Ketu gives a very spiritual spouse. It should be noted that whichever Bhava Ketu is placed, fruits of Bhava are denied, and at most times even the best of astrologers will fail to make a definite prediction about it.

7.2.10.



Placement in 12th Bhava



Placement of Grahas in 12th Bhava and Upapada are vital in determining marital bliss and timing marriage and its length. 7th Bhava is used for timing sexual union, partners etc. Results of various Grahas in 7th are also seen in Darapada and conjunctions with 7th Lord as well as 7th from Navamsa Lagna.

7.3



Placement of 7th Lord & other Lords in 7th

7.3.1.



First consideration





First consideration is that 7th Lord behaves like Sukr. Thus in Lagna native is good looking, fortunate but very dominating and strict with spouse and partners. If 7th Lord is in 2nd, spouse will be a Maraka (killer) instead of partner and very evil person. Position could indicate marriage with one already married earlier. Sukr ruling harmony is of opposite temperament of Mangal ruling disharmony and war. The traits of Mangal are felt on 3rd Bhava from 7th Lord. If 7th Lord is in 2nd, happiness is ruined and if in 3rd, children are in danger of accidents etc.

7.3.2.



Second consideration



Second consideration is Darapada. If 7th Lord is in 2nd Bhava Darapada will be in 9th Bhava indicating incestuous relations (if at all) with elders like fatherly figures, Gurus or the boss. Thus sex dominates over principles in natives life. If 7th Lord is in 3rd Bhava, Darapada will be in 11th Bhava (Maraka of children) indicating sorrow from children or loss of children. However, native has excellent qualities of head and heart and very good relationships with friends and all others. In this manner results of source of extra-marital relations and Bhavas negatively affected by Darapada should be judged.

7.3.3.



Status of spouse



Status of spouse is seen from placement of 7th Lord and Upapada. If 7th Lord is in 6th, 8th or 12th Bhava, spouse will belong to a very low status and a culture gap is seen in the couple. Placement of 7th Lord in various Bhavas will indicate the attitude of native towards spouse. If in Lagna, native is dominating over spouse, if in 4th loves spouse and family, if in 7th harmony and respect while in 10th, native is obsessed about spouse. Similarly other Bhava positions can be seen.

7.3.4.



Placement of other Lords



Placement of other Lords in 7th Bhava should be examined keeping in view the matters of 7th Bhava. If Lagna Lord is in 7th Bhava, spouse and others dominate native. If 2nd Lord ruling finances is in 7th, it gives good finances due to big business and industry but the money matters will be dominated by sexual appetite and laxity of morals can be seen in both native and spouse unless there is a strong Lagna Lord.

7.3.5.



Nakshatras



All results of placement of 7th Lord in various Bhavas or placement of other Lords in 7th Bhava can also be seen from constellation owned by them. For example, if Lagna Lord is in a constellation of 7th Lord, results of Lagna Lord in 7th Bhava like dominated by spouse etc. will be seen. Such people have to make tremendous compromises to keep family together. Some astrologers opine that relationship between the couple is to be seen from Lagna and 7th Lord. However, these Grahas are always natural enemies in all charts and the system of examining relationship from Arudhapadas yields better results.

7.3.6.



Carrying the instincts



7th Lord can carry its beneficial or killer instincts to Bhavas aspected by it. This will depend on its own position. In 7th it will create Mahapurush Yoga and bless native with happiness, success, good spouse etc. while in the 11th children suffer.

7.4



Other considerations

7.4.1.



Upapada





Upapada holds the key to marriage. If its Lord is exalted, spouse is from a high status, if debilitated, from a low status. Nature of spouse is seen from Grahas in Upapada and those aspecting it. The length of married life is seen from Graha page ~ 80 ~




in 2nd from Upapada and its Lord. There are various rules in standard texts8 that work with remarkable accuracy even today. For example, if Lord of Upapada is in 12th Bhava, native may not marry at all.

7.4.2.



House of spouse



House of spouse is seen from Lord of 7th Bhava from Sukr. If this Graha is in a fixed Rasi or Navamsa, spouse is from the same town or region. If it is in a movable Rasi / Amsa, spouse is from a distant land while if in a dual Rasi, spouse is from a land not very far nor adjoining. Thus, 7th Bhava from Sukr and its Lord as well as 7th Bhava from Lagna and its Lord will furnish the marriage timing.



Coborns of spouse



Coborns of spouse are seen in the same manner from Upapada as they are seen from Arudha Lagna for native. Grahas placed in 7th and 12th Bhava from Upapada show strained relations with particular member of spouse's family. Thus if Surya is in 12th Bhava from Upapada, father-in-law would either have expired before marriage or if alive strained relations occur. Similarly, if Chandr is in 7th from Upapada mother-in-law will be very inimical and will make every effort to break the marriage.

7.4.4.



Yogas



Generally Grahas placed in Lagna, 3rd, 7th or 9th Bhava give their Yoga and other results late in life. Thus if a Rajyoga is in 7th Bhava, results will be late.

7.4.5.



Matching charts



There are various rules pertaining to matching charts. Rules for matching Janma Rasi can be seen in standard texts. Chandr Rasis in mutual Kendras is most preferred. Lagna of spouse should preferably be Upapada, its Trikonas, 7th Rasi or Rasi occupied by its Lord.

7.4.6.



Extra-marital affairs



Extra-marital affairs are caused by Rahu and other malefics in 2nd or 7th from Upapada. Upapada or Sukr in 12th from Arudha Lagna or Navamsa Lagna respectively shows an attitude to reject spouse. This could lead to extra-marital relations. Darapada (A7) shows the sex drive and Grahas and Rasis involved show possibility of contacts. If Darapada is in a Dusthana (3rd, 6th, 8th or 12th Bhava) from Arudha Lagna or is not connected with it sexual drive may be there, but it will be largely curtailed and difficult to materialize. If Upapada and Darapada are connected, a love partner could become a life partner. If Upapada is in a Dusthana from Arudha Lagna as Darapada is in a Kendra, extra-marital relations could develop due to enmity / rejection of spouse.

7.4.7.



Sexual drive



Sukr is main Graha that controls sexual drive and all happiness and material pleasures. As it gets exalted in Meena, Guru can lead to exaltation of Sukr and purity in sexual relationships. Budh rules Kanya, Rasi of debility of Sukr and can cause Neechabhanga (good results of Sukr) or debility of Sukr depending upon its influences. Thus, Guru in Trikonas to Navamsa Lagna or Budh promotes chastity while Chandr in Trikonas to Budh tends to make a person unchaste and unfaithful. Budh and Sukr in Vrischika Navamsa, Rasi of debility of Chandr makes a person over-sexed and totally free in sex. There are various other dictums on this in texts.

7.4.8.



Lagna



Lagna represents ideals / principles. Sani and Ketu in Lagna without Sukr in Rasi or Navamsa produce a fake spiritualist and can give uncontrolled lowly sexual habits. Mangal and Sukr influencing 2nd from Navamsa Lagna give excessive sex while Ketu curtails it / ends it.



Timing marriage



Timing of marriage is done from Narayana Dasas and Sudarsana Chakra. In the latter, Sukr is the focal point as Dasa progresses at the rate of one Rasi per year. In the former, Ketu and Sukr give marriage as do Rasis and Grahas well associated with Upapada. Vimsottari Dasa or any suitable Dasa should be used keeping in view peculiarities of chart. Vivaha Saham is also used while Jalapatha Saham and Paradesa Saham are used for foreign travel and residence. Foreign travel and residence are also seen from 3rd, 9th and 12th Bhava and has been dealt with in a subsequent Chapter.

7.5.1.



Vimsottari Dasa



There are many rules for determining Vimsottari Dasa. These include periods of 7th Lord or 7th Bhava or Grahas conjoining them or aspecting them. Sukr & Chandr are chief watery elements that promote marriage. Lord of 7th from Brihat Parasara Hora Shastra and Maharishi Jaimini's Upadesa Sutras are recommended. Readers can also refer to my article "Resolving the Upapada Riddle" in Astrological Magazine (1997). 8

page ~ 81 ~




Sukr and Grahas conjoining or aspecting Sukr give marriage. This is seen in Rasi and Navamsa. Grahas in constellation of 7th Lord or Lord of constellation of 7th Lord can give marriage. Timing can be accurately done from Navamsa. Primary point is that Dasa Graha in operation should have conjunction / aspect or unobstructed Argala on Navamsa Lagna or its Lord or obstruct malefic Argala to promote marriage. Similarly, association of Antardasa Graha with 7th Lord or to have unobstructed Argala on it, is necessary. Pratyantar Dasa will normally be of a Graha in Trikonas to 7th Bhava in Navamsa or one of Lords of Kama Trikona. However, by this method of Vimsottari Dasa it is possible to shortlist many periods within marriageable age and still one cannot be sure if marriage is occurring at all. By using Narayana Dasas a fairly accurate time can be indicated.

7.5.2.



Transit of Guru



Transit of Guru over 7th Bhava, 7th Lord or Navamsa of 7th Lord can give marriage. Transit of Guru or its aspect (by Rasi Dristi) on 2nd from Upapada can give marriage. Simultaneously, 2nd Lord from Upapada should be strong in transit.

 Arudha Lg: Simha (AL)  Darapada: Simha (A7)  Upapada: Dhanur (UL) In chart 69, 7th Bhava is afflicted by Rahu Chara Darakarak (A7), eclipsing 5th Lord Surya (ruling romance and love) and conjoined 6th Lord Budh. Surya is ruler of Arudha Lagna and Darapada and shows strong attachment of native to his lady love. Eclipse of Surya by Rahu shows that there is a danger of a terrible separation and that too is confirmed by conjunction of Budh as 6th Lord with Surya and Rahu. This gives a fatal attraction. Since Surya is Lord of Darapada, it gives a relationship before marriage. Upapada is in Dhanur with Mangal and Ketu in 7th & 5th Bhava respectively. Thus, Lagna of his lady love could be a martian Rasi (his fiancé and wife was born in Vrischika Lagna - see chart 71). Mangal in 7th from Upapada shows that marriage will be strongly opposed by his brother-in-law and Chandr in 12th from Upapada shows bitter enmity of mother-in-law. Lord of Upapada, Guru is also placed in 12th Bhava from Lagna that will generally deny marriage. In Navamsa, Guru is in debility, Chandr is not only debilitated in 12th Bhava from Upapada, it is also in 8th Bhava showing early separation. However, 2nd Lord from Upapada (Sani) is very strong in a Kendra and Trikona both in Rasi & Navamsa, but its Rasi dispositor is Chandr, which as explained earlier is totally against marriage. When this native and his fiancé called on the scribe in first week of February 1997, he was asked to show chart, but purposely avoided the same, and instead showed chart of his fiancé (chart 71). My opinion is recorded hereunder. In chart 69, 7th Lord and Kalatra Karaka Sukr is debilitated in 6th Bhava. This is the worst possible placement, "Shasta Sukra Maranakaraka", i.e. Sukr in 6th Bhava shows death in Bhavas ruled by it and in present context will mean 2nd & 7th Bhava ruling first (and second) marriage. 7th Lord from Sukr is Guru placed in its own Rasi Meena. This position of Guru in a dual Rasi shows that spouse will Chart 70 be from some distance (not very far) from home in North Eastern direction. Fiancé was from Muzaffarnagar (U.P.) while native was residing in Delhi with parents. In spite of clear warning of this scribe, native consulted some Pandit who blindly looked into Panchang (ephemeris) and declared 04 pm of 14th February 1997 to be suitable. Native was running Vimsottari Dasa of Sukr, Guru sub-period and Rahu sub-sub period. Chart 70 - marriage time transit 14th February 1997, 07 pm IST, New Delhi. page ~ 82 ~




Planetary positions did indicate a sudden marriage as all 3 Grahas positively influenced Upapada, but Pratyantar of Rahu in Antara of Guru shows Guru Chandala Dosha, i.e. that advise of the adviser (Guru) will not be headed carefully. Whenever Rahu becomes Chara Dara Karaka it gives very sudden unconventional marriages, especially if placed in Kendras. Marriage can be a bad experience. First point to be noted is that in spite of going to an astrologer and getting an appointed time for marriage, the same was not adhered to and instead marriage was held at 07 pm. Basic rules in determining marriage time have been totally ignored. (a) There should be no Grahas in 7th Bhava. Here Surya is in 7th, an error already present in natal chart shows up in marriage chart. (b) There should not be any Grahas in 8th Bhava specially malefics like Mangal / Ketu. Here a terrible combination of Sani and Ketu are present in 8th Bhava as 8th Lord Guru is in debility. (c) Sukr Kalatrakarak should be strong in election chart and 6th Bhava (Shasta Sukra Maranakaraka) should be strictly avoided. Sukr is in 6th in company of debilitated Guru. (d) Malefics should preferably be in Upachayas. None of malefics are in Upachayas and are instead in 2nd - 8th axis indicating early break / separation. Having flaunted all the rules, inevitable was to happen soon. Due to bitter opposition of mother-in-law and brother-inlaw (as explained earlier) wife was coerced to walk out on him. She left in first week of April 1997 in the beginning of Vimsottari Dasa of Sukr - Sani - Sani.

Timing of marriage While general rule of association of Grahas ruling Vimsottari Dasa with 7th Bhava and Upapada are easily seen, specific rule for Navamsa should be seen. (a) Vimsottari Dasa Graha should associate with Navamsa Lagna, or have Argala on it or remove malefic Argala on it. Sukr is Lord of Navamsa Lagna. Hence it qualifies to give marriage to native. (b) Vimsottari Antara Dasa Graha should associate with 7th Lord from Navamsa Lagna, or have Argala on it or remove malefic Argala on it. 7th Bhava from Navamsa Lagna is Vrischika with 2 Lords Mangal and Ketu. Both are placed in Dhanur. Guru owns Dhanur and is placed in 2nd from it. Thus Guru has Argala on Mangal and Ketu. (c) Vimsottari Pratyantar Dasa Graha should be in Trikonas to 7th Bhava, or its Lord or Sukr. Rahu is in Trikonas to Sukr. Thus, specific confirmation of timing can be seen in Navamsa (D-9) chart for marriage.

Transits (a) Transit of Guru should have some contact with 2nd Bhava from Upapada by Rasi Dristi at least. Guru was transiting 2nd Bhava from Upapada in Makara. This gives the year 1997. (b) Transit of Surya could be in Trikonas to Rasi or Navamsa of 7th Lord. 7th Lord Sukr is in Kumbha Navamsa. Surya was in Kumbha at the time of marriage. (c) Chandr in transit was in Krittika Nakshatra. This is not advisable for marriage as star tends to produce isolation instead of sealing marriage. Main point is the strength of Guru to determine marital happiness. In both charts 69 & 71, Guru is debilitated in Navamsa. This gave a 2-month marriage, tremendous strain and heart burn. Next point is that Arudhapada (AL) and Darapada (A7) are in the same Rasi. Thus, native loved his wife very much and was even neglecting his business to keep her happy. But then, eclipse of Surya was destined. Chart 71 Chart 71 - female, born on 22nd July 1976, Muzaffarnagar, 14:27 IST, 29 N 28, 77 E 41. Lg Ch Ma Sk Ra

Prima facie this promises a loving and devoted husband and a good marriage that brings good fortune. However, Guru is debilitated in Navamsa indicating Rajbhanga Yoga, i.e. misfortunes. This is present in both chart 69 & 71. Arudha Lagna and Darapada are in Shastastaka (mutual 6th - 8th positions) showing that her attitude towards spouse will be negative. Upapada (UL) is also in 12th Bhava from Arudha Lagna showing her tendency to reject husband. Such a negative situation will arise only if native makes a page ~ 83 ~




wrong choice (!). Lagna of husband should be seen in Trikonas to Upapada or its 7th Bhava. Mangal is neither in Trikonas nor 7th Bhava from UL. Alternatively Rasi occupied by Lord of UL. Mangal is again not present in this Rasi nor is in Mesha. Thus, choice of Mesha Lagna boyfriend for marriage was a short-sighted one. However, Mangal aspects Upapada by Rasi Dristi from Simha and choice was made accordingly by her (error of judgment). This was destined as Darapada & AL are in Shastastaka. She was under Vimsottari Dasa of Rahu, sub-period of Guru and subsub period of Budh. In Navamsa, Rahu has Argala on Lord of Navamsa Lagna. Sub-Lord Guru is placed in 7th Bhava and being in 4th from Sani has Argala on 7th Lord while sub-sub-Lord Budh is conjoined Sukr (i.e. in Trikonas to Sukr). On enquiry, the lady was honest enough to reply that she had already decided to marry her fiancé (chart 69) and had called on the scribe at the behest of a close friend. Although friendship could be a few months old, excessive intimacy Table 20 - Chart 71 - Narayana Dasa would have developed only when Surya entered Makara around 15th Dasa Years Period Age January 1997, as it would be in Trikonas to Darapada (A7) showing Vrb 2 1976 - 1978 2 extra-marital attachment and sub-sub-period was that of Lord of Dha 5 1978 - 1983 7 Darapada, Budh. There are a host of Grahas in 7th from Upapada. Kar 3 1983 - 1986 10 Surya shows opposition by father-in-law, Sukr shows opposition by sister-in-law, Sani shows opposition by elder brother-in-law while Kum 7 1986 - 1993 17 Budh shows opposition by other kith and kin. The lady was heading Kan 2 1993 - 1995 19 for a difficult time. She was told that if she marries before Kumbha Min 10 1995 - 2005 29 Sankranti (i.e. before Surya leaves Makara on 13th February 1997) marriage will last, else tremendous opposition and insurmountable obstacles are seen. As destiny would have it, marriage took place on 14th February 1997 and within 2 months such dramatic developments occurred like her mother creating a big drama and her brother-in-law showing muscle power that she bowed and left for home. Chandr is Lord of 7th from Upapada (mother is dead-against marriage). Meena Narayana Dasa of Chart 71 started in 20th year from July 1995. Its Lord Guru is placed in 7th from Lagna in a debilitated Navamsa, but is also in 7th from Navamsa Lagna. Meena is in Trikonas to Sukr and Lord of Upapada. Marriage is likely in Antardasa of Ketu, Sukr or Rasis & Grahas connected with Upapada. Ketu is in 6th from Lagna in Mesha and Antardasa of Mesha in Meena Dasa was from May 1996 to 22nd March 1997. In July 1996 the girl left home to stay in a hostel in Delhi for her higher studies as Ketu in Mesha aspects 4th Bhava (education) by Rasi Dristi. She fell in love being stuck by cupid's arrow (Ketu) and married on 14th February 1997 within the same period. As soon as Mesha Antardasa ended on 22nd March 1997 and Chart 72 Meena Antardasa started she walked out on her husband in first week of April 1997. Thus, Narayana Dasas are an invaluable tool to judge and time such incidents. Guru was in transit in Makara aspecting natal Sani Lord of Upapada and its own natal Navamsa. Kalasarpa Yoga (KSY) in chart is noteworthy. Chart 72 - male, born on 27th May 1951, Solavana, Madurai, 09:02 pm IST. Lg Ch Bu Sa R Ra

Darapada (A7) in 12th from Arudha Lagna does show that native may tend to ignore his wife as she will be a simple house wife. Upapada is in Simha conjoined Ketu Mokshakarak showing that spouse will be a very religious and devout person. 2nd from Upapada is Kanya and its Lord is placed in a Trikona in Rasi chart and Trikona in exaltation in Navamsa chart. This promises a long married life. Although Sani is in 2nd from Upapada, it is in Makara in Navamsa in a Trikona. However, as Darakaraka it shows considerable problems pertaining to some financial matters of spouse during its long Dasa. Wife inherited a huge property in Sani Dasa, but could not really enjoy it as her brothers went to the court. Throughout Sani Dasa this story continued and with the advent of Guru Antardasa towards the end of Sani in 1997, the cases ended in her favor and in the beginning of 1998, property was ready for sale / expansion in the form of rebuilding new flats that would be sold ultimately and 2 flats would page ~ 84 ~

be retained by them. Thus as Atmakarak tends to punish native for misdeeds of last birth, Darakarak brings trouble for spouse. From amongst Trikonas and 7th from Upapada, 7th Bhava Kumbha is the strongest with Chandr and Rahu. Thus Lagna of wife is given by Chandr as Karkataka. Sukr in 7th Bhava should give bad results for spouse going by the rule "Karaka Bhava Nasa", but instead as Atmakarak in 7th Bhava, it indicates that spouse will be very God-fearing and devout. Besides, AK should be fortified in a chart. Upapada in 9th Bhava brings good fortune through marriage. Marriageable age of a person is after 18th year and Dasa operating was Thula. Thula is 3rd Bhava from Upapada and is place of death of spouse. If marriage occurs during such a period, unless Guru is very strong, spouse may either pass away or marriage breaks (see previous chart 71 where marriage occurred during Dasa of Meena and during Antardasa of Meena, it broke leaving a very bad scenario all around). Since no such negative incident is shown in chart, Thula will not give marriage especially when it is also 8th from Arudha Lagna. Next Dasa is of Kanya 2nd from Arudha Lagna, capable of giving marriage, but is 8th from Chandr and has Mrityupada (A8) and Sani in it. Next Dasa of Vrishabha could give marriage as it houses Surya as Lord of Upapada, but it is 3rd from AL. Makara, next Dasa aspects Upapada in Simha and Surya in Vrishabha. Hence it will give marriage. Now, between Makara and Karkataka, the latter is stronger and its Lord Chandr placed in Kumbha furnishes first Antardasa. As explained earlier, this Rasi determines spouse and is in Trikonas to Sukr to give marriage between May 1980 to September 1980. Marriage occurred on 14th September 1980 in 30th year of native. Because of Atmakarak Sukr in 7th Bhava, i.e. to avoid any mishap on the lines of "Karaka Bhava Nasa" and since Upapada was in 9th Bhava (Dharma, temples) in Simha, native was advised by his father to visit some pilgrimages before uniting with his wife. Thus, they united only on 25th September 1980 after 11 days from marriage. This was also to offset any negative implication of Sani (R) in 2nd from Upapada. Astrologers should give such intelligent remedial measures based on chart rather than blindly prescribing gems and stones. In transit Guru was in Simha on 14th September 1980 at the time of marriage aspecting natal 2nd Lord from Upapada Budh in Mesha. Chandr was in Swati star in Thula. However, the couple waited for Guru to proceed to Kanya 2nd Bhava from Upapada before uniting on 25th September 1980 (the day Guru entered Kanya). Such sincere following of serious astrological advise has blessed them with a long married life and good growth in fortunes after marriage. In Chapter VIII related to children, a number of examples of abnormal marriages and adopted children have been given. These may be studied for timing marriages.

 Arudha Lg: Kumbha (AL)  Darapada: Simha (A7)  Upapada: Karkataka (UL) In chart 73, Atmakarak Guru is in 7th Bhava as 7th Lord Mangal is in 9th Bhava conjoined Darakarak & Kalatrakarak Sukr. Thus Yogas for marriage are very good promising good fortune and rise after marriage especially when Sukr is in 9th Bhava. However, 7th Lord Mangal is subject to "Kuja Stambhan" by Rahu as it also afflicts Sukr giving rise to a very malefic combination. This combination has the potential to destroy marriage and give a wayward life but for AK Guru in 7th Bhava. Darapada (A7) through which one comes into contact with opposite sex is in Simha, Royal Rasi showing politicians and government servants. This has 9th Lord Budh in it showing employer or friends as it is in 11th Bhava also. Upapada is in Karkataka in 10th Bhava of profession and is conjoined Surya showing marriage in a family of much higher social status. Surya is also Lord of Darapada (A7) indicating prior contact / friendship before marriage. Lord of Upapada, Chandr is in 5th Bhava from Lagna ruling love affairs. Thus, there is no doubt that she will have a love marriage at the time of entry into service with a politician / bureaucrat. She joined Government service on 15th July 1991 and was married to a Brahmin, colleague (Budh in Darapada shows friend / colleague in 11th Bhava) also a Gov. servant on 29th August 1991 (Thursday). The colleague belongs to a good family. 7th Bhava from Sukr has Ketu in it as 7th Lord is, again Guru, placed in a movable Rasi (showing long distance) in Mesha (showing Eastern direction). Spouse hails from Orissa which is in Eastern direction from Bombay. Both had to travel to Delhi before their meeting and marriage. Fiery Rasis generally show Eastern direction, water Rasis show page ~ 85 ~




North, air Rasis show West and earth Rasis show South. This can be modified by direction of Graha. For example, if Sukr is in Karkataka and Sani is in 7th in Makara, direction could be West (Sani) instead of South (Makara). Dasa of Vrischika was from 20th to 27th year of native. Although Vrischika aspects Upapada, it has Rahu and Mangal in 8th Bhava indicating a period of strife. This aspects Surya Lord of Darapada showing good help from politicians and involvement in politics, but cannot give marriage as Chara Darakarak Sukr is in 8th Bhava from Dasa Rasi. Next Dasa is of Dhanur with Ketu in it, Atmakarak in Trikonas and aspected by Chara Darakarak and Kalatrakarak Sukr and 7th Lord Mangal. Lord of Dasa Rasi is Guru placed in 7th Bhava. Thus, this Dasa will surely give marriage. Now, between Guru and Budh 2 Lords of Dasa Rasi and its 7th Bhava Guru is stronger being Atmakarak. Marriage occurred in first Antardasa itself. Marriage was sudden.

In Vimsottari Dasa, Guru ruled 16 years from 23rd November 1975 to 23rd November 1991, and as it aspects Navamsa Lagna, is qualified to give marriage. Marriage can occur in any of Antardasa of Mangal, Surya, Sukr, Rahu, Chandr or Sani as these Grahas either aspect 7th Bhava or have Argala on 7th Bhava. However, since Narayana Dasa was not favorable, all horoscope matching and even one engagement failed. Since Dasa - Antara was Guru - Rahu the lady visited a "Nadi" astrologer who gave her an Aghora Mantra (Tantrik Mantra) to speed up marriage. This was towards Vrischika Narayana Dasa. It may be noted that Mantrapada (A5) is in Vrischika an insect and malefic Rasi. It is aspected by Surya (in debilitated Navamsa) and Guru showing worship of Lord Siva (Surya / Guru) but in a crude manner (Vrischika). Marriage occurred only as predestined in Guru - Rahu - Chandr Dasa - Antara - Pratyantar on 29th August 1991. Guru in transit was in Simha in 2nd from Upapada with Lord Surya. Chandr was in Dhanur and Lagna was Dhanur (Dasa Rasi) the day was Thursday (Guru). Arudha Lagna (AL) and Darapada (A7) are in Samasaptaka (mutual 7th) showing good harmony and love between the couple. However, Upapada has Sukr (sister-in-law), Mangal (younger brother-in-law) and Rahu (widows) in 12th from it showing many troubles from these sources. Surya in Upapada shows staunch support from father-in-law as Chandr Lord of Upapada brings blessings of mother-in-law.

Upapada is in 8th Bhava with a debilitated Chandr as its Lord Mangal is in 9th Bhava in company of debilitated Rahu. This shows early death of spouse / fiancé. However, Sani also aspecting this debilitated Rahu & Mangal denies marriage. These Grahas also cause Papakartari Yoga on Upapada and debilitated Chandr in it. Debilitated Chandr is also in 8th Bhava and any marriage is not long lived. Guru although exalted, is in 8th Rasi from Dhanur and 12th from Arudha Lagna. As Darakaraka, its placement in 12th from AL is undesirable, especially in a female chart.

Dasas Dasa of Ketu in 3rd Bhava is from 18th to 25th year and will not be beneficial due to its debility in 3rd Bhava. Being in 11th from AL, it does give income from export trade. Next Dasa of Atmakarak Sukr is from 25th to 45th year and denies marriage. Thus, due to peculiar planetary positions, all denying marriage, the same could not occur.

 Arudha Lg: Vrischika (AL)  Darapada: Mesha (A7)  Upapada: Simha (UL) In chart 75, 7th Lord Chandr is also Chara Darakaraka placed in Lagna. However, it is in Rasi Sandhi (junction of Rasi) and quite weak, being aspected by Rahu and no benefic either conjoining it or aspecting it. Arudha Lagna is in Vrischika and presence of Chandr (temporary DK) in 3rd Bhava from it is undesirable. Kalatrakarak Sukr is conjoined Sani and just like previous chart, Rahu is in 2nd Bhava from Upapada Lagna aspected by Sani that conjoins Sukr. Thus, if at all marriage occurs, some kind of cheating should be envisaged. Surya, as Lord of Upapada, conjoins 9th Lord in 11th from Lagna and in AL. Thus, marriage could occur during Antardasa of Surya in Dasa of Rahu. This happened in December 1995 during Rahu - Surya Vimsottari Dasa - Antara. In Navamsa, Rahu aspects Lagna as Surya aspects 7th Bhava and both are in Sama Saptaka (mutually 7th - this position is favorable in Navamsa). Narayana Dasa during period was Simha - Makara. Simha is Upapada and can give marriage while Makara houses Darakarak and 7th Lord Chandr and aspects Simha. However, although marriage was celebrated in the night, bride went back home the very following morning within 2 hours of arriving in house. Thus, Sukr afflicted by Sani and the latter's aspect on Rahu had played its role as the lady was a chronic spondylitis patient and had very weak legs. She could hardly walk and 7 rounds around the holy fire were perhaps longest distance she had walked in her life! Native simply went by the advise of some elderly relative and was cheated. He is now fighting a legal battle for cheating and future prospects of marriage are remote especially with Dasa of Guru placed in 3rd Bhava from Upapada Lagna and 12th from Arudha Lagna.

 Arudha Lg: Kanya (AL)  Darapada: Karkataka (A7)  Upapada: Kumbha (UL) Chart 76 is horoscope of one of the top politicians and statesmen of India. Arudha Lagna in Kanya clearly shows his strength in Delhi (ruled by Kanya) as he has almost always won elections to Parliament. Benefics Budh and Guru in 3rd and 6th from Arudha Lagna produce a saint. Unfortunately though Guru is in 6th from Arudha Lagna, it is also in Upapada. Thus Upapada fails to become functional as Guru in 6th indicates a form of renunciation, i.e. Upapada or marriage has been renounced. Similarly, Chara Darakarak Guru is placed in 6th from Arudha Lagna. 7th Lord from Lagna is Sukr afflicted by Mokshakarak Ketu and conjoins Sani in 12th from Navamsa Lagna. This conjunction either delays marriage, or if in 12th Bhava, can deny it altogether. Darapada in 11th from Arudha Lagna and aspecting Upapada throws up hope (as A7 is in 9th Bhava and its Lord Chandr is in 10th Bhava), but that shall also fail to fructify as Chandr is in 12th from Arudha Lagna. To add to this list of negatives for marriage, 7th Bhava has a Papakartari Yoga between Mangal and Rahu being in 6th & 8th Bhava. Other hope lies in aspect of Budh and Sani (a subordinate / junior) on Darapada (A7), but this will fail to page ~ 87 ~

 Arudha Lg: Karkataka (AL)  Darapada: Dhanur (A7)  Upapada: Vrishabha (UL) Chart 77 is horoscope of Sankaracharya designate of Kanchi Kamakothi Peetham H.H. Sri Vijayendra Saraswati. 4 Grahas, Sukr, Sani, Mangal and Chandr are Vargottama, i.e. very well placed to give their blessings on him. Darapada (A7) showing interaction with other partners, colleagues etc. has Atmakarak Chandr (representing divinity) in Vargottama showing that he treats every human being with great respect and with divine affection. Rahu in 7th Bhava is not good for marriage and Mokshakarak Ketu in Lagna shows strong spiritual leanings. 3rd and 6th Bhava from Arudha Lagna (AL) should be conjoined benefics for renunciation / spiritualism. This has Guru, Ketu and Atmakarak Chandr showing no attachment whatsoever for material gains. Although Upapada is in 9th Bhava, its Lord is in 8th Bhava both from Lagna and Navamsa Lagna, and that too Kalatrakarak Sukr. Again, like previous charts, Sukr is conjoined Sani and aspected by Rahu in a Dusthana (8th Bhava) from Lagna showing delay / denial of marriage. 2nd Lord from Upapada is also in 6th Bhava and self-denial of marriage is indicated. Finally, Chara Darakarak Sani is also in 8th Bhava in debility again pointing at self-denial of marriage. Thus every factor points at marriage denial. Greatest difference between previous charts and present one is placement of Atmakaraka in 4th Bhava just like that of Sri Ramakrishna Paramhamsa. Difference is that Sri Ramakrishna had Rahu as Lagnesh (ruling physical body) and Atmakarak in 4th Bhava, and being a natural malefic tremendous suffering for self-purification and achievement of Yogic powers is indicated. However, in chart of Sri Vijayendra Saraswati Chandr is a great natural benefic and is Lord of Arudha Lagna in Darapada showing that he will be working very hard to enlighten the people and spread the message of Sankara of Universal brotherhood and love. Another way to confirm celibacy is to look at 5th Bhava and its Lord. Here 5th Lord Sani is in 8th Bhava both from Lagna and Navamsa Lagna. Chara Putrakaraka Budh is in 6th Bhava as natural significator Guru is with Ketu (showing renunciation). Table 23 - Chart 77 - Narayana Dasa Parasara (BPHS) teaches that if malefics afflict 2nd from Upapada Dasa Years Period Age or if its Lord is afflicted and ill placed, loss of spouse or renunciation Vrb 11 1969 - 1980 11 occurs. 2nd Bhava from Upapada is Mithuna and its Lord Budh is afflicted by 12th Lord Surya in 6th Bhava. Chandr is Atmakarak in Kar 7 1980 - 1987 18 Badhak Sthana from Mithuna in Dhanur. Thus, renunciation Thu 6 1987 - 1993 24 occurred in the fag end of Chandr Dasa in Surya Antardasa on 29th Mak 8 1993 - 2001 32 May 1983. Denial of marriage is one thing and renunciation / Mit 8 2001 - 2009 40 priesthood choice with celibacy is another. For matters of renunciation and spiritual development Parasara and Jaimini Maharishis have explained Drig Dasas. These Dasas always begin from 9th Bhava and their period is taken the same as Narayana or Chara Dasas. Drig Dasas always begin from 9th Bhava which is Dharma (spiritual / God) Bhava. Details can be studied in my book on Jaimini Upadesa Sutras. Some Drig Dasas of chart 77 are in adjoining table. First Dasa is of Vrishabha which is Upapada and renunciation is unlikely as also 3rd & 6th Bhava from it do not have benefics nor do 2nd, 4th & 5th have malefics. Next Dasa of Karkataka is Arudha Lagna, and as explained earlier has Ketu, Guru and Chandr in 3rd & 6th Bhava. Renunciation is sure to occur. Antardasas of Karkataka shall begin from Rasi occupied by its Lord or Lord of 7th Bhava from it whichever is stronger. Between Chandr and Sani, the latter has a conjunction of Sukr and is stronger to initiate Antardasas. Renunciation occurred in 6th Antardasa, i.e. Kanya Antardasa housing Guru and Ketu in 3rd from Dasa Rasi Karkataka. Important transits for renunciation are that of Sani, Guru and Ketu. On the date of renunciation, Sani was exalted and retrograde in Thula aspecting Arudha Lagna as Ketu Mokshakarak was transiting Dhanur occupied by Lord of AL (Chandr) and Atmakarak. Simultaneously Guru's transit in 12th from Janma Rasi also did not aspect 2nd from Upapada. Chandr in transit was in conjunction with Ketu in Dhanur in Moola star owned by Ketu. This is an page ~ 88 ~




auspicious moment for renunciation. Important Dasas begin from 2001, when Drig Dasas of Mithuna, Kanya, Dhanur and Meena aspect Atmakarak, for a total period of 30 years. (Note: Sukr in 8th Bhava is seen in charts of many Sanyasis).

 Arudha Lg: Meena (AL)  Darapada: Kumbha (A7)  Upapada: Kumbha (UL) In chart 78, 7th Lord Budh is in 11th Bhava in conjunction with debilitated Surya. Arudha Lagna in Meena is conjoined Lagna Lord Guru and both Darapada and Upapada are in 12th Bhava from Arudha Lagna in Kumbha conjoined its Lord Rahu (in Vargottama). Thus, first wife is represented by debilitated Surya and by Rahu in Upapada. Since Upapada and Darapada are in 12th Bhava from Arudha Lagna, native will reject his spouse. Since Grahas involved are Guru and Rahu, some serious differences are indicated. Marriage occurred in Chandr Dasa Rahu Antardasa and differences developed within a day of marriage and the bride left. 4 Grahas in Simha in 7th from Upapada show the extent of opposition. Rahu in Upapada also does not speak well about nature of spouse. Rahu placed in 7th or 12th Bhava from Arudha Lagna gives such strange / bad experiences and will tend to make native spiritual and God-fearing. Thus Rahu tends to oppose Arudha Lagna showing that native must be a religious and God-fearing person. Although separation occurred, divorce cases went on. Second marriage is seen from 8th Bhava from 7th, i.e. 2nd Bhava and 8th Bhava from Upapada. Similarly, third marriage is seen from 8th Bhava from 2nd, i.e. 9th Bhava and 3rd Bhava from Upapada and so on. 8th Bhava from Upapada is Kanya with Sani in it. This will indicate a religious or sickly wife. 2nd Bhava from Lagna is also owned by Sani as 2nd from Navamsa Lagna has Ketu to show a very religious and dutiful spouse. Marriage (2nd) occurred in Chandr Dasa Sani Antardasa and native lived happily. However, sickness took over (as Surya is debilitated in 2nd Bhava from Sani) and spouse expired in Mangal Dasa Rahu Antardasa. Simultaneously his ex-wife filed a case for some damages and criminal breach of trust. Initially things were favorable but with the advent of Sani Antardasa in Mangal Dasa from 14th January 1996, native lost his job and everything was going against him. When native met your author in Vimsottari Mangal Dasa Sani Antardasa Guru Pratyantar, he was a completely dejected man enquiring whether he will go to jail, i.e. if bondage is shown. Since Antara Dasa of Sani was to end in February 1997, and since Mangal is Lord of Dasa, native was prescribed a yellow topaz of 13 Ratis weight in silver. This was to be worn only temporarily and a Mantra of Devi Shakti Bagalamukhi was given along with the advise to worship 9th Lord and Subhapati Surya everyday morning. When a person is passing through a bad time, it is better to make him sit down home and practice Mantras. Native turned a new leaf to the amazement of all relatives and with the advent of Budh Antardasa, the court case suddenly ended (in 2nd hearing) in his favor. However, since Rahu was in 12th Bhava from AL, he would have to pay some settlement / damages and native was categorically told not to extend the case, if the Hon'ble judge allows, and to pay damages. In 2nd hearing Hon'ble judge intervened and passed a suitable judgment. The case was over in Mangal - Budh - Sukr, Vimsottari Dasa, sub-period and sub-sub-period. Next sub-sub period was of Surya. In Dasamsa (D-10), Surya is 5th Lord placed in 9th Bhava in Dhanur. Native was now asked to remove temporary topaz and wear a fine ruby in gold ring for the rest of his life and to worship Surya god. 5th Lord from Dasamsa Lagna gives exact period of appointment and native got a fine job in Mangal - Sukr - Surya Vimsottari Dasa Antara - Pratyantar and left for Bombay. Subsequently, he got a jump in December 1997. He is fine and full of life.

Chart 79

 Arudha Lg: Mesha (AL)  Darapada: Vrischika (A7)  Upapada: Kumbha (UL) Native of chart 79 is a computer expert. Lagna is subject to a Papakartari Yoga by being sandwiched between Rahu and Mangal. Mangal in 12th makes her a "Mangalik" as Rahu is also in 7th Bhava from her Upapada Lagna. Thus, Mangal and Rahu create a form of Bandhan Yoga (captivity or bondage). Rahu is in 5th from Arudha Lagna showing some kind of a love affair as its dispositor Surya goes to Darapada (A7) showing a relationship with business partner clearly. Besides being in 7th Bhava from Upapada. Rahu will surely obstruct normal marriage functioning of chart. Native's own attitude is not good as Lagna Lord Chandr is in 12th from Upapada Lagna. Other factors like 7th Lord in 6th (Sani) with Sukr (6th Sukr is very bad) and 6th Lord Guru are quite undesirable. Native was married in 1988 towards the end of Kanya Narayana Dasa. Kanya aspects Meena 2nd Bhava from Upapada Lagna, 7th Lord Sani and Lord of Upapada (Sani) as well as Sukr Kalatrakarak.

With the advent of Simha Dasa in November 1989, she planned to leave her job and start a business with a Table 25 - Chart 79 - Antardasa of Simha colleague.

During Antardasa of Kumbha 8th Bhava Mes 9 Nov. 1992 - Aug. 1993 from Lagna, she and her colleague (male) resigned from Vrb 9 Aug. 1993 - May 1994 the job to start a business. It may be noted that during Mit 9 May 1994 - Feb. 1995 Dasas of the nodes (Rahu & Ketu) or of Kumbha or Kar 9 Feb. 1995 - Nov. 1995 Vrischika, one half of Dasa is good / enjoyable while other Sim 9 Nov. 1995 - Aug. 1996 half can be quite taxing and punishing. Antardasas from Kan 9 Aug. 1996 - May 1997 Ketu to Rahu are called Bhoga Marga or enjoyment and Thu 9 May 1997 - Feb. 1998 Antardasas from Rahu to Ketu are Moksha Marga or spiritually enlightening (positive) or punishing Vrk 9 Feb. 1998 - Nov. 1998 (negative). Antardasa from Ketu (Kumbha) to Rahu (Simha) was enjoyable phase in which she worked very hard to establish the company that always seemed to make losses as her partner built two palatial houses! It was during this period that she cheated on her husband and had an affair with partner. The gains are seen from 11th Bhava from Arudha Lagna. Since Lord of Darapada (A7) Mangal aspects 12th Bhava from Arudha Lagna and is also placed in 12th from Lagna, partner has cheated her both financially and morally and has given her a small portion (Ketu is also co-Lord of A7 placed in 11th Bhava from AL). During Kanya Antardasa serious problems developed and in Thula Antardasa, on the advise of this scribe she quit business to take up her own job work. These periods till November 1998 are quite taxing and she even attempted suicide in Thula Antardasa (Rahu in Badhak, Rasi is 4th Bhava that gives great happiness or sorrow). However, Mantra practice and meditation have helped. Chart 80 Chart 80 - male, born on 8th October 1940, Lahore, 06:30 am, 31 N 34, 74 E 22. Lg Ch Sk Bu Ra

In chart 80, Kanya is Lagna with Surya (12th Lord), Mangal (3rd & 8th Lord) and Rahu (6th Lord) in it. This may show laxity of morals. Arudha Lagna is Vrischika and these Grahas placed in 11th from it show income from Government (Surya), land (Mangal) and foreign / hidden sources (Rahu). Native was a government servant who took premature retirement to start his own business. Darapada (A7) is in 9th Bhava in a venusian Rasi aspected by Lagna Lord. Budh. Thus native will always be attracted towards business and close contacts with outsiders. Lord of Darapada and Upapada Sukr is in 12th from Lagna. Just like previous chart in which Ketu as Lord of Darapada (outside male) was in Upapada, here too Darapada and Upapada are linked. In positive sense this gives a love marriage and in negative sense extra-marital relations. 7th Lord Guru is in 8th Bhava in close conjunction with debilitated Sani, as Ketu goes to 7th Bhava. A bad combination for first marriage. Thus, first marriage ended in an amicable divorce (thanks to Guru for ensuring peace) and native got married again. However, in Navamsa Kanya a mercurial Rasi rises with Budh in Trikonas and Chandr is in Trikonas to Budh in Lagna. This is a specific combination for very loose morals. Native has had hundreds of bed partners as this is a very specific combination for laxity of morals. 2nd Bhava from Navamsa Lagna is owned by Sukr as Sukr conjoins Rahu in 10th Bhava in Mithuna aspected by Mangal. This also shows excessive sexual abuse and umpteen extra-marital ties. Since Ketu is not in 2nd Bhava, it is unlikely that this will cease. However, since Ketu aspects Sukr and Mangal by Rasi Dristi, it will show some effect of cutting back on the encounters after middle age as Ketu in 7th Bhava will give its results in later life. Thus, irrespective of Dasa, Yogas in natal chart continue to function on the basis of stars and days ruled by them. Dasas help to highlight important changes.

However, there is no contact between these Bhavas except that Sani aspects Dara Karak Guru and Kalatrakarak Sukr. Sani aspects Upapada as Guru aspects Darapada by Rasi Dristi. Guru is also placed in 9th Bhava from Navamsa Lagna indicating good character. However, Ketu placed in Darapada aspects Arudha Lagna and due to aspects of Lords of A7 and UL on each others Rasis, a mistake (Ketu) could occur. There is specific combination of Budh and Sukr in Vrischika Navamsa aspected by Chandr by Rasi Dristi to show many contacts with opposite sex. 2nd Bhava from Navamsa Lagna is not owned by either Sukr or Mangal, but has Mangal in it as 2nd Lord join Sukr in Vrischika. Thus specific combinations for extra-marital ties exist although these may not be a regular feature due to Guru in Trikonas to Navamsa Lagna.

Timing extra-marital ties Sani is 2nd Lord from Upapada Lagna and Budh is 7th Lord of Mithuna. Extra-marital ties could develop during Sani Dasa Budh Antardasa and it did. Native got involved with a lady in the office and had to send her away to Germany in Sani - Ketu Dasa - Antara. As explained earlier Ketu being representative of Sri Ganapati among Grahas cannot tolerate these things as it leads the people away from emancipation / spiritualism.

 Arudha Lg: Mithuna (AL)  Darapada: Dhanur (A7)  Upapada: Meena (UL) In chart 82, Darapada is in 7th from Arudha Lagna showing easy contact with opposite sex. If Darapada (A7) itself is in a Dusthana from Arudha Lagna, contact with opposite sex will be difficult and all other Yogas will remain in the form of frustration (sexual) or desires. Upapada is in 8th Bhava from Lagna and Rahu is placed in 2nd from it showing danger of contact with prostitutes (Rahu). Lagna Lord itself is weak in 12th Bhava and ideals will be lacking and is with 7th Lord Sani. As 7th Lord is in 12th and Lord of Upapada (Guru) is with 12th Lord Chandr native will tend to ignore and reject spouse. Darapada is aspected by Sukr and Budh in Arudha Lagna. 10th Lord Sukr shows that the lady could reside close to his place of work. The lady resides in a Jhuggi (hutment) near factory and is a laborer. Budh conjoins Sukr and in Navamsa, Budh is in Dhanur in Trikonas to Chandr (showing definite laxity of morals) instead of Guru. While Guru is in Trikonas to Lagna, it is afflicted and obstructed by Sani and Ketu showing that some form of black magic (Sani & Ketu) could be used to obstruct judgment of person (Guru), Kalatrakarak Sukr is also in 12th Bhava from Navamsa Lagna showing rejection of spouse, but not denial of marriage. It is also 7th Lord from Navamsa Lagna and rejection is surely to be attempted in its period. Native was married in Ketu - Guru Dasa Antara period and had two sons during Ketu Dasa. With the advent of Sukr Dasa in September 1990 he started having affairs clandestinely. When Sani transited natal Upapada in Meena after February 1996, native became very close to that laborer lady near his factory and he would suddenly develop a kind of fit with eyes becoming big and would be mad to meet her. In natal chart Sani is already in Meena in Navamsa afflicting Guru with Ketu. Besides Meena is Upapada and Sani transit in it results in marital problems. In 1996 - 1997 both Sani and Ketu were transiting Meena and Vimsottari Dasa Antara was of Sukr - Chandr. As 12th Lord in debility with Guru, Chandr tends to bring separative forces on Upapada. It is also in Trikonas to natal Budh. Native decided to leave his family and take a separate flat to live with this "new love". At this time Antardasa of Mangal in Sukr Dasa had just begun. Mangal is a powerful Yogakaraka for Upapada and aspects it. It is also in 2nd Bhava from Lagna. Native's wife approached your author with the problem and was given a powerful Mantra of Lord Hanumanji (deity of Mangal) and assured that come what may and no matter how powerful black magic was, Lord Hanumanji will definitely prevent her husband from straying. It may be noted that Mangal is 4th Lord (2nd from 3rd Bhava ruling arms), is dispositor of Guru and Rahu and aspects Rahu, thus protecting its ally Guru and destroying Rahu, is Lord of Badhaksthana (place of obstruction) and can give accidents or other hazards and is inclined to do so in 2nd Bhava from Lagna. One night in spite of helpless begging of his spouse, native again decided to visit his paramour. His car overturned in a bad accident and he severely damaged his hand. In spite of various operations this has not cured till now. With the advent of Rahu Antardasa in Sukr Dasa from November 1997, he has again resumed his nocturnal habits with his broken hand as his spouse stopped Mantra. Inherent weaknesses in a chart will continue to show up and regular practice of Mantra etc. is the best remedy. Incidentally, Lagna of his spouse is Meena, Upapada in chart of native.

Arudha Lagna is in Kumbha and Upapada Lagna representing spouse and married life it's in 12th from it (rejection of spouse) and in 8th from Lagna. Darapada (A7) is in 11th Bhava with Rahu in it showing sexual abuse page ~ 92 ~




as it's Lord Mangal is not only Atmakarak, but is also placed in 7th. This confirms that many contacts with opposite sex (Darapada) will be for short-term relationships. Rahu is Lord of 9th Bhava (Kumbha) and is placed in Darapada. 7th Bhava from Navamsa Lagna has a very bad combination of Sani and Ketu showing Jara Yoga (many sexual contacts). It also brings misfortune on spouse in the form of loss of job etc. Native had many flings. Finally she got married to a colleague. It was a love marriage as 11th Lord and Lord of Darapada Mangal is in 7th Bhava (mere infatuation). Spouse lost his job soon after marriage and went through a very rough patch. In the meantime the lady had a brilliant career and helped establish a huge business as CEO. She had one child from her husband and even got pregnant from her employer and had to terminate pregnancy. Marriage and child occurred when Sani transited Dhanur having natal Mangal Lord of Darapada. Affair etc. happened when Sani transited Upapada in Makara. Now, Sani finally arrived in Kumbha in 1994 and till February 1996 she went through a turbulent phase as Karma caught up with her. Marriage collapsed and a divorce came through. She was frustrated with her life and finally left the job. Between February 1996 till April 1998 as Sani transits Meena its natal position in 2nd from Arudha Lagna, she visited USA to start a new life. Nothing worked out as Sani was also in 10th Bhava from natal Lagna and natal Chandr. She changed a new leaf, became religious and started worshipping Lord Siva to wash her sins. As Sani transits 3rd from Upapada, exhusband's fortunes improved. Besides Sani and Ketu in 7th Bhava in her natal chart would no longer affect him after divorce. Thus her good time and her previous employers bad time would start after April 1998 when Sani transits Mesha having natal Rahu in Darapada. His Karma of ruining a family would catch up with employer as Sani in 3rd from Arudha Lagna and 11th from natal Chandr gives a new life to the lady. Thus, in this manner transit of Sani Lord of Karma can be examined to understand and time events. In Chapter IV of Maharishi Jaimini's Upadesa Sutras I have given many examples for flings, sexual encounters and prostitution.

 Arudha Lg: Karkataka (AL)  Darapada: Kumbha (A7) Chart 84 is horoscope of Sigmund Freud who is father of human psychology. Thula Lagna shows his ability to weigh pro's and con's and arrive at a balanced judgment. Lagna Lord Sukr becomes Chara Darakarak and is also natural significator of spouse and sex. It is placed in 7th Bhava with Atmakarak Surya and Rahu showing research (Rahu) related to human psyche (Surya) and sexual desires (Sukr). Arudha Lagna is in 10th Bhava showing intelligence, especially since Lord of Arudha Lagna is exalted (high status due to his mental abilities). Chandr joining Budh shows ability and agility of the mind to go into depths and hidden secrets (8th Bhava from Lagna) that torment people. Darapada (A7) related to sex and contacts is in 5th Bhava that also rules knowledge and that too in a highly intellectual Rasi Kumbha. Sani, a Yogakaraka for Thula is also Lord of Darapada and is placed in 9th Bhava of higher knowledge (or studies) and links knowledge relating to development of sorrow, frustrations, etc. with Darapada (sex). Rahu is another Lord of Darapada (sex) and shows research studies etc. as Lord of 5th Bhava and is placed in 7th Bhava (sex, passion, love) with Sukr (Chara Dara Karak - wife and Naisargika Kalatrakarak - opposite sex, love, relationships etc.). Conjunction of 9th and 10th Lords Budh and Chandr constitutes a powerful Dharma Karmadhipati Yoga that page ~ 93 ~




sets the stage for achievements. In 8th Bhava this comes through hard work and research studies or delving into unknown. 7th Bhava is also subject to a Subhakartari Yoga between Guru, Sukr and Budh. Sani is also natural significator of 6th and 8th Bhava and will bring effects of Subhakartari Yoga in its Dasa. It was during Sani Dasa that all Grahas functioned favourably. Even Mangal is in 12th Bhava and Freud was able to successfully prove (at that time) that focal point of this world is sex, i.e. sex runs the world. He was able to link trauma, desires and motives to sex and show how it affected human psychology both at home and work. In Navamsa, intellectual Kumbha rises with Budh Graha of Buddhi (intelligence) in it. Lagna Lord Sani is in 10th Bhava in Vrischika (occult, research) with Atmakarak Surya. This link between Navamsa Lagna and Atmakarak results in a powerful Rajyoga that brings very high status, fame and achievements. This happened in Dasa of Sani. In Dasamsa (D-10) Kumbha is also in Lagna with 8th Lord (research) and 5th Lord (knowledge) Budh (intelligence) in Lagna. 10th Lord Mangal is in 7th Bhava of practice / business with 6th Lord (patient) Chandr. Thus his profession is linked to patients having mental (Chandr) problems of all kinds. Lord of wealth and gains Guru is in 12th Bhava (hospitals) in Makara (mental disturbances). Thus his gains were linked to psychiatric practice and hospitals where people having mental disturbances visited. Sani is Lord of Dasamsa Lagna and dispositor of Budh and Guru and is placed in 6th Bhava in Karkataka. Thus Dasa of Sani and later of Budh were most rewarding. His theory that sex runs the world was accepted and he was later recognized as father of modern psychology.

 Arudha Lg: Meena (AL)  Darapada: Kumbha (A7) Chart 85 is horoscope of Osho (Acharya Rajneesh). 5 Grahas conjoin in a Kendra. This produces Pravrajya Yoga or spiritualism. If 4 or more Grahas conjoin in a Rasi, depending on other factors this can also produce a powerful Rajyoga as in case of Hyder Ali or Adolf Hitler. Here all Grahas are in 7th Bhava (sex) in a jupiterian fiery Rasi Dhanur. Conjunction of Lagna Lord Budh with Darakarak (Mangal) and Kalatrakarak (Sukr) in 7th Bhava gives knowledge of sex and its importance in basic human motivation. Sukr is also 5th Lord of knowledge. 9th Lord showing higher studies or knowledge is Sani who has also joined this combination. Thus entire focus of chart is on 7th Bhava with the mind also in it. Compare this to chart of Sigmund Freud where 5th Lord, Darakarak & Sukr are in 5th Bhava. THE difference is that, in Freud's chart Surya joins the combination while for Osho Chandr joins the combination. Darapada (just like Freud's charts 84) is in Kumbha an intellectual and philosophical Rasi showing deep thinking about human behavior and sex and is in 9th Bhava of higher knowledge (connected with spiritualism, Dharma etc.) while in Freud's charts this was in 5th Bhava of material knowledge. Thus, Freud's theory on sex motivating the world was based on 5th Bhava while Osho's theory of sex obstructing or aiding spiritual growth and ruling spiritual world was based on 9th Bhava of higher knowledge. Arudha Lagna is in Meena Rasi of Maharishis, with its Lord Guru is exalted as Atmakarak. Retrogression of Guru shows 2 things. Firstly, it gives Graha many rays by which it will function quite independently and lead native into a very difficult path and secondly it will give some effects of debility by which Osho may have to face accusations from some followers. Arudha Lagna is conjoined Rahu and this will surely give accusations / allegation during Antardasas of Rahu in any Dasa. As such Rahu gives good results in Kumbha and Meena. If Ketu (renunciation) is in Arudha Lagna a renunciate is born. Such people are prepared to lose all possessions of material world. If Rahu is in Arudha Lagna an enjoyer is born. Such people believe in enjoying material pleasures of this world and living a fully satisfied life. What Osho expounded was the theory of materialism by which only after cravings of the body and mind are fully satisfied can person be free to contemplate on God. This is the theory of Ajivikas as taught by Ajita Kesakambalin. These were also called Carvakas or Lokayatas. General teaching of materialistic school was that all religious observances and morality were attempts at futility. The mind can contemplate in God only after it has enjoyed all this and naturally rejects it. This theory was severely criticized by then Hindus, Buddhists and Jains and so was Osho criticized by his contemporaries. Rahu in Arudha Lagna shows philosophy of material experience for higher salvation (as it aspects Ketu) and also shows criticism of orthodoxy. Whenever Rahu aspects Arudha Lagna in any chart this controversy / criticism is sure to come. page ~ 94 ~




Sukr in 7th Bhava is debilitated in Navamsa in 12th Bhava with Rahu. This clearly shows liberal attitude towards sex and rejection of morals prescribed by society. Osho's rise can be timed from Arudha Lagna Meena. This is aspected by all 5 Grahas by Rasi Dristi showing fame / Rajyoga. Graha Dristi / conjunction on Arudha Lagna is of Mangal, Rahu and Guru. Osho had his Kundalini awakening or spiritual insight in Chandr Dasa Surya Antardasa. This was followed by Mangal Dasa showing gradual rise but hard effort. Rahu Dasa gave good rise and establishment of temples etc. International fame and world recognition came in Guru Dasa. Normally Dasa of Atmakarak can be difficult as it leads to spiritualism. This would not be true for an exalted Guru as while giving spiritualism, it will reduce sorrow to the bare minimum. In Navamsa, Guru is placed in Meena with Mokshakarak Ketu in 6th Bhava. As it conjoins Grihakarak Ketu and in such strength as Lord of AL in exaltation and in Karkataka (4th Bhava of nature - cities / homes of people) it resulted in establishment of a huge township is USA and many centres throughout the world. In Dasamsa, Guru is again in its own Rasi in Dhanur in 7th Bhava giving Hamsa Mahapurush Yoga results. Rahu in 8th Bhava shows retirement from material life and is good for spiritual pursuits. Dasa of Rahu from December 1960 to December 1978 established Aharya Rajneesh as Maharishi of a new philosophy. It was during Guru Dasa that the real Rajyog was seen. Dasamsa has a powerful Panch Grahamalika Yoga (5 Grahas in a row) starting from Guru in 7th Bhava to Budh in 11th Bhava. Thus, Acharya Rajneesh not only expounded spiritual philosophy of sex but also established its practice. With the advent of Sani Dasa Graha of restriction and control / sorrow, Ashram no longer flourishes as Osho is not in his physical body anymore.

 Arudha Lg: Thula (AL)  Upapada: Simha (UL) Chart 86 is horoscope of Bill Clinton President of USA. Arudha Lagna and Darapada are in the same Rasi Thula showing that there cannot be any dearth of contact with opposite sex. However, Guru as Darakaraka is placed in Thula showing a very strong attachment with spouse. Upapada is in 2nd Bhava in Simha with strong Surya in it aspecting AL & A7 in Thula. This Yoga of Guru and Surya concerning AL, A7 and UL show that intrinsically Mr. Clinton is a good man who has a high value for his marriage. 2nd and 7th Bhava from Upapada show cause for break in marriage. Mangal and Sukr conjunction in 2nd, that too in a mercurial Rasi is undesirable especially with Sukr in debility. It shows very short-term attachments with other women. Since 2nd Lord from Upapada Budh conjoins Sani, these women could be subordinates who would have tried to tempt the President. Since Budh also conjoins Chandr in Vrischika native will have to face considerable mental turmoil on account of these allegations of subordinates and other women. However, as a rule scandals will not be there unless Rahu aspects Arudha Lagna. In this case Rahu is in 8th from Arudha Lagna in Vrishabha and shows some deadly enemies who are gunning for him. Rahu aspects Rasis Karkataka (Lagna, Sani - subordinate, Mangal - other colleagues) and Arudha Lagna from a venusian (female) Rasi Vrishabha showing that enemies will try their level best to spoil his reputation with sexual allegations. As Sukr is debilitated in 2nd from Upapada, these ladies supporting enemies are also aiming to finish his marriage. Chandr Atmakarak is strong in 10th Bhava and Guru & Chandr in 1st / 7th Bhava from AL will give lasting fame. However, Rahu has Papargala on Chandr showing that President Clinton cannot fight against these enemies single-handedly. He will need fighting fire of Surya (as Lord of Upapada in UL it shows wife) and political aides and Guru (wife as Chara Darakarak and supporters as 9th Lord and also church). Narayana (Chara) Dasas for Bill Clinton start from Lagna which is stronger than 7th Bhava. Since Lagna has Sani in it, Dasas will be regular and zodiacal due to the rider "Sanau Ucche Tyeke."

Rajyoga "If Atmakaraka and Pitrukaraka conjoin / aspect 1st / 5th Bhava, Rajyoga results." Chandr is AK and Sani is PK. 5th Bhava is Vrischika aspected by both Chandr & Sani from movable Rasis resulting in Rajyoga. "If Lords of 1st and 5th Bhava conjoin / aspect each other or 1st / 5th Bhava, Rajyoga results." Chandr is Lord of Lagna as Ketu is a co-Lord of Vrischika 5th Bhava, placed in Vrischika. Chandr in a movable Rasi is in mutual aspect with Ketu in Vrischika page ~ 95 ~

resulting in Rajyoga. Since Rasi Vrischika produces 2 powerful Rajyogas, this should fructify in early life between 27 to 37 years of age during Vrischika Dasa. He became Governor of Arkansas at 33rd year of age and has had Rajyoga since then.

"If 2nd and 4th Bhava have equal number of strong Grahas, Rajyoga is caused that will function in early life." Surya in such strength (exalted Navamsa) in 2nd in Simha and Guru in Vargottama in 4th Bhava are Upapada Lords and Darakarak respectively showing that stars of his wife will catapult him to the White House. He won 1st presidential election in November 1992 when Surya transited Arudha Lagna and entered the White House in early 1993. Effect of a Dasa is felt slightly before its beginning. From Makara 4th Bhava is Mesha with 'white' Chandr in it aspected by powerful royal Surya from Simha showing royal residence. Since this Dasa is till 1999, he was destined to win next election and continue residence in the White House.

Dasa of Makara will give a very powerful Simhasan (throne) Yoga - "If Guru is in Meena or Sani is in Karkataka in the throne (1st / 10th Bhava) Simhasan Rajyoga occurs." Aspect of Surya on Dasa Rasi fortifies Rajyoga while that of Rahu tends to destabilize it Since Rahu aspects from Badhak Rasi in a venusian Rasi, sex scandal will be the method. Since Makara is a Table 27 - Bill Clinton - Forthcoming malefic Rasi, negative effects will be felt towards the end of period - Antardasa of Mesha Dasa. The scandal started seriously in Antardasa of Kumbha owned by Rahu and 8th Bhava (see adjoining table of Antardasa of Makara Dasa Antardasas of Makara). Antardasa of Meena aspected by Mangal Antara Months Period and debilitated Sukr is worse. However, towards the end of Dasa Antardasa in January - February 1998 results of Guru will be Kar 6 Aug. 1993 - Feb. 1994 seen and wife (Darakarak Guru) in Arudha Lagna will come out Sim 6 Feb. 1994 - Aug. 1994 very strongly to his rescue.

Since Rasi is aspected by Guru (Darakarak) and has Argala (intervention) of Surya (in Vrb 6 Aug. 1998 - Feb. 1999 Upapada - wife), the fight put up by his wife will be admirable. Mit 6 Feb. 1999 - Aug. 1999 Truth (Guru) will prevail. Next Dasa of Kumbha from 1999 to 2006 is 8th Bhava showing retirement. As this is aspected by Atmakarak Chandr and Darakarak Guru, President will ultimately manage to end the strife, but damage would be done.

Chapter XI






8th Bhava deals with death and longevity, debts, disease, ill-fame, inheritance and loss of friends. It is Bhava of occult studies and Para Gyana. Significator for longevity is Sani, destruction of body is Ketu, destruction of mind (Chandr) and soul (Surya or Dharma) is Rahu. Mangal is significator for debts. Rahu causing destruction of the mind is also significator for ill-fame and as cause for destruction of the soul it gives disease with Ketu / Sani. Sani gives food and inheritance from the dead / death ceremonies and anything related to the dead. All evils are generally seen from 8th Bhava from Lagna, Arudha Lagna and Atmakaraka. Important divisional charts are Trimsamsa (D-30) where all evils are seen and Ekadasamsa or Rudramsa (D-11). The latter is also used to determine victory / failure in battles and time loss of friends etc.

8.2



Timing of death



In timing of death, 3rd Bhava, being 8th from 8th Bhava is examined for the place of death. 3rd Bhava from Arudha Lagna gives circumstances and place of death. 10th Bhava from Lagna and 8th Bhava are of fructification and are used to time event of death. Distance of the place of death is seen from Rasis occupied by 8th Lords from Lagna, Arudha Lagna, Atmakarak or Sani. Sani should be used first. If Graha (Lord of 8th Bhava) is in a fixed Rasi, it will be at home or in the residence, if in a movable Rasi, place of death is far and if in a dual Rasi, it is nearby or while commuting. page ~ 96 ~



8.3




Period of death



Since 8th Bhava and its 8th (i.e. 3rd Bhava) are places of longevity, 12th (loss) Bhava from these, i.e. 7th Bhava and 2nd Bhava respectively show the loss of longevity or death. Thus, Lords of 2nd / 7th Bhava or Grahas in these Bhavas or connected with these Lords can give death during their period. This is seen from Rasi (D-1), Navamsa (D-9) and Trimsamsa (D-30). Similarly death of coborns (Drekkana D-3), enemies (Shastamsa D-6), spouse (Navamsa D-9), children (Saptamsa D-7), parents / elders (Dwadasamsa D-12) etc. can be ascertained.

8.4



Argala of 8th Bhava



8th Bhava has Argala on 4th, 5th, 10th and 11th Bhava showing one's general state of happiness and living conditions (4th Bhava), Mantra, children and supporters (5th Bhava), spouse (7th Bhava), Karma (10th Bhava) and gains (11th Bhava) have a direct bearing on longevity. Thus, it is vital to bear in mind that birth chart alone is not the final say in determining longevity. Texts say that saints and spiritualists extend their life as per their desire. Similarly many people tend to lose longevity due to their Karma. Prasna Marga advocates the use of Prasna chart along with birth chart to fix longevity. Malefics in 8th Bhava have Subhargala on 6th Bhava of enemies. Thus malefics in 8th Bhava cause Dustamaran Yoga (bad death) and show Parakrama Bala (courage / strength) of enemy. Thus during Narayana Dasa of Rasis having malefics in 8th Bhava, one is defeated by enemies and runs into debts and troubles. His happiness, lands, children, spouse and Karma (profession) have troubles while his enemies succeed in battles / troubling him. Similarly Vimsottari Dasa of Grahas in 8th Bhava can give rise to bad results like death of spouse self (as 8th Bhava has Argala on 7th Bhava) etc.

8.5



Arudhapada



Arudhapada of 8th Bhava is called Mrityupada (A8) and Grahas and Bhavas have a direct bearing on it as if they were in 8th Bhava. Thus, Sani in Mrityupada can give long life but many diseases in childhood. Grahas in Mrityupada can be very adverse for one's profession etc. Like Surya is Karaka for Lagna, its transit in Arudha Lagna or its Trikonas is good for native while transit of Sani over Arudha Lagna is very bad. Similarly, Sani is significator of death and its transit over Mrityupada can give rejuvenation of life and good results while transit of Surya over Mrityupada or its Trikonas gives death. Rasi occupied by 8th Lord is considered worst in horoscope and residence in direction indicated by Rasi can bring ill health, disaster and sorrows. This is also true for Mrityupada.

8.6



Grahas in 8th Bhava



Results of individual Grahas can be studied from standard texts. Generally Grahas should not be in 8th Bhava as Karakatwa (signification) gets damaged. Guru is representative of God and stands for world peace. If Guru is in 8th Bhava Asura Yoga is generated as native does not pray nor respect peace. Again benefics show a peaceful end while malefics show a difficult or bad death. Rahu in or aspecting 8th Bhava from Lagna, AL, AK is a clear indication of Dustamaran Yoga (bad, unnatural death). Weapon that causes death is seen from 3rd Bhava from Arudha Lagna. Surya indicates light firearms, Mangal - spear or lance, Rahu shows bombs while Sani shows long-range guns or bows. Guru or Sukr give prior knowledge of death to person or his close associates. This could be in the form of a forecast, intuition or a coma. Chandr shows danger from water or other living creatures. Sani and Rahu influencing the death show that native is overpowered and killed mercilessly. This can also cause urinary complaints as do Mangal & Ketu. Ketu could show the axe and such other sharp weapons. If Rahu and Chandr associate with 3rd / 8th from AL, AK or Lagna, death could surely occur during period of Rasi. If Atmakarak itself is in 3rd or 8th from AL or Lagna, death cannot occur, i.e. somehow native survives bad Dasa. Mangal alone can give mumps, small pox and other inflammatory diseases provided Rasi is not Karkataka or Vrishabha. Chandr normally shows death due to a living being, animal or water. Nature of 4th Bhava from Chandr is first principle. Thus if Chandr is in Thula, death could be due to clubs (Makara) or if Chandr is in Simha death could be due to snake poison or reptiles (Vrischika). Second principle is to see Navamsa occupied by Chandr. If Navamsa is Karkataka or Vrischika water dwelling creatures or poisonous snakes etc. Adjoining table gives an exhaustive list of effect of Navamsas. Death is also seen in 2nd and 6th Navamsa from that occupied by Graha.



Thus after ascertaining the death, it is necessary to time it. There are various methods for this called Ayur Dasas. These include Navamsa Dasa, Shoola Dasa, Niryana Shoola Dasa, Gochara Dasa (3 varieties called Chara, Sthira & Dwisbhava Paryaya Dasas that are to be exclusively used in Shastamsa), Manduka Dasa (to be exclusively used in Rudramsa), Sthira Dasa, Brahma Dasa etc. Rudramsa and Manduka Dasa is very vital for use in battles, elections etc., while Shastamsa and Paryaya (Gochar) Dasa is used for timing diseases, troubles from enemies etc. This is a very vast study and serious readers can refer to my translation of Upadesa Sutras (Jaimini) for learning these where examples have been given. Simplest and effective Dasa is Shoola Dasa which is a Navamsa Dasa and is very flexible. Dasa starts from 1st / 7th Bhava, whichever is stronger for self & spouse. Similarly for father (9th Bhava) or younger co-born, determine stronger Rasi between 3rd / 9th Bhava that will initiate Shoola Dasas. For any concerned person, Bhava ruling or its 7th, whichever is stronger, shall initiate Shoola Dasas. Thus, at any point of time 6 different Shoola Dasas will be in operation for all 12 Bhavas. These Dasas are for 9 years each Rasi, covering zodiac in 108 years. First 4 Dasas are called Alpa Ayus Khanda (short life portion), 5th to 8th Dasa are called Madhya Ayus Khand (middle life portion) and 9th to 12th Dasa are called Purna Ayus Khand (long life portion). First step is to determine Ayur Khand. Second step is to determine death-inflicting Dasa and Antardasa. This will narrow down the period to 9 months. Now fix month on the basis of Surya's transit in Trikonas to Mrityupada, Sani etc., then Paksha, Tithi and Lagna can be ascertained.

Determining Ayus Khand



There are 3 important methods to determine the Ayus Khand. These are: (a) Method of pairs of Lagna and 8th Lord, Lagna & Hora Lagna and Chandr & Sani (JS, Chapter II, Part I9). (b) Strength of Lords of 1st, 8th and 10th Bhava. If all 3 are strong and do not associate with Sani (not applicable if Sani is one of Lords itself), long life is indicated. If 2 are strong - middle life, if 1 is strong - short life and if none is strong, hardly any life is shown. (c) Lagna & Chandr method (JS, Chapter III, Quarter II). These methods can be learnt from illustrations.

Marak Rasis



Among Dasas, Rasi occupied or aspected by Guru or Atmakarak may not kill. Rasi occupied / aspected by Chandr & Mangal or Chandr & Sukr can kill. Rasi aspected or conjoined natural malefics can kill. Rasi of Rudra (8th Lord) or its Trikonas from concerned Sthira Karaka (fixed significators). These points should be borne in mind for determining Shoola (Dasa of death). It should be noted that if Atmakarak Graha is in 1st, 3rd, 7th or 9th Bhava, Vipareeta Ayus Yoga is caused and Khanda is altered. Thus short life could be altered to middle or long life and vice-versa. This will depend on placement of 8th Lord. For example, in 4th, 7th or 10th Bhava, 8th Lord under Vipareeta Yoga gives middle longevity. Importance of Khandas should be understood. Brahma (or zodiac) is said to have 3 Nabhis (3 navel signifying birth) at 0°, 120° and 240° respectively marking out 4 Rasis each from Mesha, Simha and Dhanur. Birth chart of individual also has 3 navels at 1st, 5th and 9th Bhava marking the beginning of each Ayus Khand.

Rath's rules and examples



Vedic astrology uses system of 108 Navamsas which equal total number of years contributed by 12 Rasis in Shoola Dasas of 9 years each (9 × 12 = 108). Thus year of death is seen from Sudarsana Chakra Dasa of Navamsa. According to this system, year in which Sani is in Trikonas to Chakra Lagna (Lagna is progressed 1 year per Rasi), death will occur. However, I give an important thumb rule (let us call it Rath's rule (1)10 - after late Pandit Jagannath Rath). Progress Trimsamsa (D-30) Lagna at the rate of 1 Rasi per year. Year in which Sani is in Trikonas or 7th will give death. This rule is applicable in most divisional charts. Rath's rule (2) Month of death is seen from transit of Surya in Trikonas to Arudhapada of 8th Bhava (Mrityupada - A8). Rath's rule (3) Tithi (Vedic date) of death is seen from strongest Graha in 5th Bhava from Lagna or Sammukha Rasi. If none are there, then Rasi occupied by 5th Lord (9th Bhava / Lord for females). Tithis ruled by Grahas are on the basis of Kalachakra - Surya (1, 9), Chandr (2, 10), Mangal (3, 11), Budh (4, 12), Guru (5, 13), Sukr (6, 14), Sani (7, Full Chandr Purnima), Rahu (8, New Chandr - Amavasya). Rath's rule (4) Lagna at the time of death will be in Trikonas to Arudha Lagna, its 7th Bhava or Rasi occupied by Lord of Arudha Lagna (same principle as reckoning Lagna of spouse - from Upapada). Karaka for debts is Mangal and its placement in 8th Bhava from Vimsottari Dasa Graha, or its placement in 8th from Narayana Dasa Rasi without any benefics in 12th Bhava indicates debts and strife. Similarly, 2nd Lord in conjunction with malefic Sani or Lord of 8th Bhava can give debts in its period. Period of 8th Lord can lead one into debts and strife. 8th Lord in Dasamsa (D-10) chart or Grahas in 8th Bhava can cause considerable trouble and, depending on their nature and strength, cause loss of service, lawsuits and even imprisonment. If 8th Lord or Graha in 8th Bhava is well connected with Lord of Dasamsa Lagna, it can cause inheritance of a legacy in the form of factories, headship of institutions or political parties, kingdom etc. 8th Bhava in Navamsa (D-9) chart can bring about the death of spouse and can give extra-marital affairs if connected to Budh. Thus 8th Bhava can be a blessing or curse, depending on planetary positions and whether 8th Lord has Subha Argala (beneficial intervention) on Lord of Lagna or otherwise. 8th Lord can give a huge loan from bankers to set up or run a business. Thus, 8th Bhava tends to favor 7th Bhava by causing Argala on it and disfavor 6th Bhava by being in 3rd from it. Thus a benefic in 8th Bhava favors business and not service, especially in Dasamsa while a malefic favors service by having beneficial intervention on 6th Bhava and malefic intervention on 7th Bhava. 8th Lord in Lagna can be very bad in any chart. In Saptamsa, this can show denial or delay of children, in Dasamsa it shows chronic debt, while in Rasi chart it gives susceptibility to diseases or chronic diseases. For example, if Rahu is in Trikonas to Lagna while 8th Lord joins Lagna or Lagna Lord, native suffers from chronic bronchial problems and breathing difficulties. JS - Maharishi Jaimini's Upadesa Sutras. Jagannath rule has been given in my translation of Upadesa Sutras wherein after determining Ayus Khand (Kakshya / portion) a thumb rule is applied to determine whether death is in 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th portion. If 8th Lord is 10th, 11th or 12th Bhava, death is in 1st Shoola Dasa of portion; if in 7th, 8th or 9th Bhava, death is in 2nd Shoola Dasa; if in 4th, 5th or 6th Bhava, death is in 3rd Shoola Dasa, and if in 1st, 2nd or 3rd Bhava, death is in the last Shoola Dasa. This is a thumb rule. 9

Diseases are seen from Rasi, Navamsa and Trimsamsa (D-30) charts. Grahas in 8th Bhava or its Trikonas will surely give disease especially if they are malefic. Placement of Atmakaraka in any Bhava other than a Kendra or Trikona in Navamsa sets the stage for a weak constitution and diseases crop up during bad periods. Dasa of Atmakarak if connected to Lagna and Shatrupada (A6), Mrityupada (A8) or 6th or 8th Bhava brings ill health and disease, else trouble will be in other areas. Atmakaraka does not prefer to kill but to punish native for past sins and prepare spiritual path for the future. Disease is also seen from Navamsa Rasi occupied by Lord of Badhak Sthana (obstruction Bhava). For movable Rasis, 11th Bhava, for fixed Rasis 9th Bhava and for dual Rasis 7th Bhava is obstruction Bhava. Navamsa occupied by Lord of Bhava of obstruction shows the type of physical trouble. This is also seen from Grahas in obstruction Bhava and their Navamsas. Care should be taken to check Chandr, Lagna and other Graha positions in Gandanta and other such evil positions. Timing of disease and all physical problems is best done from Shoola Dasas (or any other Ayur Dasa). 22nd decanate from Lagna and 64th Navamsa from Chandr's Navamsa and their Lords play a significant role as they bring effects of 8th Bhava on physical body. Incidentally, 22nd decanate is also 8th Bhava in Drekkana (D-3) chart while 64th Navamsa is 4th Bhava from Chandr in Navamsa chart. Lords of these Bhavas and Grahas in them can be very evil if in strength. Body parts and other standard aspects of medical astrology should be studied from standard texts. Timing evils through Vimsottari Dasa requires knowledge of certain principles governing Dasa system. These include: (01) Treating Dasa Graha as temporary Lagna (Satyacharya principle). Thus Antardasas of Grahas in 7th can focus results on 7th Bhava that will give results of a Maraka period bringing disease and other evils. (02) Pachak, Bodhak, Karaka and Bedhak should be used (Sarvartha Chintamani, Sloka 1.22.). (03) During Dasa of Surya, Grahas in 6th Bhava from it become very inimical. Similarly, Grahas in 12th Bhava from Chandr, 12th Bhava from Mangal, 3rd Bhava from Budh, 6th Bhava from Guru, 4th from Sukr and 6th from Sani are very inimical throughout Dasa and their evil manifests fully during their Antardasa. Thus, these places should be vacant for a Graha's Dasa to be favorable. Nodes Rahu & Ketu may be treated as akin to Sani & Mangal respectively (Sarvartha Chintamani, 1.125 & 1.126). (04) Bhavas from Dasa Graha, for which it is a natural significator, should have beneficial Grahas. Else, signification suffers. Thus, if a person has Mangal in 8th from Sani, during Dasa of Sani, significations of 8th Bhava like health of spouse, debts etc. will be quite adverse. If benefics or naturally friendly Grahas are in these places, results will be very good. For example, if Surya is in 5th from Guru, its Antardasa in Dasa of Guru will be excellent.

 Arudha Lg: Mesha (AL)  Mrityupada: Meena (A8)  Hora Lg: 9R 09° 22' In chart 87, a Nadi had made prediction of native's death in his 70th year in Sravan month (Surya in Karkataka), Sukla Paksha 14th Tithi, in Mesha Lagna. Native, however died in his 59th year in Sravan (Surya in Karkataka), Sukla Paksha 6th Tithi in Mesha Lagna. Was Nadi reading missing out some point? Let us attempt to time death.

Kakshya (A) (a) Lg Lord+ 8th Lord =fixed +fixed = short life (b) Lg + Hora Lg = dual + movable = short life (c) Sa + Ch = fixed + movable = middle life Guru is conjoined Lagna Lord, Atmakarak (Chara - Budh) and natural Atmakarak Surya. This causes Kakshya Vriddhi to middle life 36 - 72 years. (B) Lagna Lord is in Dusthana (6th Bhava), 10th Lord Guru is in Dusthana (6th Bhava) as 8th Lord Sani is in Trikonas (9th Bhava). This indicates short life as only Sani is strong. However, since Lagna Lord is also Atmakarak, it is strong and middle life is given by two factors (36 - 72 years).

Shoola Dasa Shoola Dasas begin from Lagna or 7th Bhava whichever is stronger. Rasis are equally conjoined and aspected but Budh becomes Atmakarak to indicate that Shoola Dasas begin from Mithuna. Madhya Ayus Kakshya is from 5th Bhava till 8th Bhava, i.e. Thula to Makara. Vrischika is conjoined Guru and Atmakarak Budh and cannot cause death. Makara is page ~ 100 ~




8th Bhava and although conjoined exalted Mangal, is aspected by Guru and AK from Vrischika (in Shoola Dasas only use Rasi Dristi) and is not likely to kill. Thus, between Dhanur and Thula, the former with debilitated Rahu is also Badhaksthana and is likely to kill native. This would mean death in 7th Shoola Dasa, i.e. 54 to 63 years. Death occurred in Dhanur Dasa Dhanur Antardasa.

Year of death (a) Navamsa method - Lagna is in Mithuna in Navamsa and Sani is in Makara. Death can occur in 52nd, 56th or 60th year (incorrect). (b) Rath's rule (1) - Lagna in Trimsamsa (D-30) is Thula and Sani is in Dhanur. Thus, death can occur in 51st, 55th 57th or 59th year. Death occurred in 59th year (correct). (c) Month of death - applying Rath's rule (2), Mrityupada (A8) is in Meena. Hence Surya should be in Trikonas to this Rasi, i.e. Meena, Karkataka or Vrischika. Surya was in Karkataka at the time of death (correct). (d) Vedic day of death (Tithi) - applying Rath's rule (3), strongest Graha in 5th Bhava is Sukr and is also 5th Lord. Thus, Tithi of death could be Shasti (6th) or Chaturdasi (14th). Native died in Shasti Tithi on 12th of August 1994 (correct).

Notes on Nadi reading Readers will appreciate that Nadi uses a different system of reckoning years of death on the basis of Rudramsa (D-11). Thus, out of 11 Rudras, death inflicting year is determined. In present case Rudra is 4th. Thus, death can occur in 48th year (44 + 4), 59th year (55 + 4) or 70th year (66 + 4). Secondly, choice of Vedic day as Chaturdasi (14 = Sukr) is on the same Rule as Shasti (6 = Sukr). (e) Time / Lagna of death - applying Rath's rule (4), Arudha Lagna is in Mesha. Hence death can occur when a fiery Rasi is rising. Native died at 10:45 pm when Mesha was Lagna (correct).

Kakshya (A) (a) Lg Lord + 8th Lord = movable + movable = long life (b) Lg + Hora Lg = dual + movable = short life (c) Sa + Ch = dual + movable = short life Since 2 Sutras give short life, primary Kakshya is short life (0 - 36 years). Guru Lagna Lord is exalted as its dispositor is Atmakarak. This can cause Kakshya Vriddhi, i.e. increase of longevity compartment (to 36 - 72 years). (B) Lagna Lord in 8th Bhava while 8th Lord and 10th Lord in Trikonas give 2 out of 3 factors strong. This indicates Madhya Ayus (36 - 72 years). (C) 8th Bhava from Lagna

= movable

8th Bhava from Chandr

Thus by the principle of exclusion Madhya Ayus (36 - 72 years) is obtained.

page ~ 101 ~




Shoola Dasa Shoola Dasas begin from Mithuna, 7th Bhava and progress zodiacally (always). Madhya Ayus Kakshya is from 5th to 8th Dasa, i.e. Thula to Makara. Although Guru is exalted it is conjoined Rahu and debilitated Mangal in 8th Bhava showing that death can come due to black magic or by reciting some Mantras incorrectly or such means. Thus, Guru is quite severely obstructed and may not protect native. Chandr is Atmakarak and normally protects horoscope, but unfortunately, is conjoined Sukr to generate a specific combination that will kill. It may be noted that Sukr is 6th Lord ruling enemies and in 5th Bhava it will obstruct prayer Mantra. Chandr is also Prani Rudra of chart as it is 8th Lord. Among Rasis Thula to Makara, only Vrischika is aspected by 2 combinations (Rasi Dristi only). Thus death will occur in 6th Shoola Dasa (45 - 54 years) of Vrischika.

Year of death (a) Navamsa method - Sani is in 7th Bhava in Navamsa. Death can occur in 51st, 55th or 59th year. Death occurred in 54th year (incorrect). (b) Rath's rule (1) - Sani is in Lagna in Trimsamsa. Death can occur in 49th, 53rd, 55th or 57th year. Death occurred in 54th year (incorrect). Thus, none of methods of Sudarsana Chakra in divisional charts is foolproof and Nadi system of determining the year on the basis of Rudra holds the key.

Month of death Rath's rule (2) - Mrityupada is in Thula. Thus, death can occur when Surya transits wind [air] Rasis Mithuna, Thula or Kumbha. Surya was in Thula at the time of death (correct). This method of using Mrityupada has given very satisfactory results.

Vedic date of death Rath's rule (3) - 5th Bhava is Mesha with 3 Grahas in it. Of these, Chandr as Atmakarak is the strongest. Hence death can occur in Dwiteeya or Dasami Tithi (2nd / 10th Tithi). Death occurred in Dwiteeya (correct). This traditional tool is very effective.

Vedic time (Lagna) of death Applying Rath's rule (4), Arudha Lagna is Kumbha. Hence rising Rasi at the time of death should be any Rasi Thula, Mithuna or Kumbha. Rising Rasi (Lagna) at the time of demise was Mithuna (correct). This traditional tool of using Arudha Lagna has invariably been correct.

Transits Transit of Surya in Thula, Tithi (Chandr date) and Lagna have already been explained using Rath's rules. Jeeva Saham is a vital point signifying life force of native. Jeeva Saham (life point) is determined in natal chart as follows: Sa - Gu + Lg = Jeeva Saham (day births) Gu - Sa + Lg = Jeeva Saham (night births) If Lagna does not fall between minuend and subtrahend, add 30°. Since Sri R. Santanam was born at night, Jeeva Saham is calculated as follows. Gu - Sa + Lg + 30°

= 3R 26° 07' - 2R 03° 17' + 9R 02° 16' + 30° = 11R 25° 06'

Transit Sani should obstruct this life force (Jeeva Saham) to cause death. Sani was in transit in Meena conjoining the Jeeva Saham.

Vimsottari Dasa In Rasi (D-1) chart 2nd Bhava is aspected by Guru, Mangal & Rahu is conjoined Ketu and 2nd Lord Sani is in 7th Bhava. Guru suffers Chandala Dosha and is empowered to kill. In Navamsa Guru aspects 7th Bhava and disposits 2nd & 7th Lord Sukr. Chandr is 8th Lord in Rasi chart and conjoins Sukr Maraka in Navamsa. However, final confirmation must come from Rudramsa (D-11). Bhavas for timing death, as per tradition are 1st, 8th, 5th & 10th Bhava. Guru is 5th & 8th Bhava Lord placed in 3rd Bhava. Mangal is in 8th Bhava in company of Sani and Rahu. It is placed in 6th Bhava (inimical) from Guru and aspects it. Chandr conjoins 10th Lord Sukr. Death occurred in Guru Mangal - Chandr Vimsottari Dasa - Antara - Pratyantar. page ~ 102 ~

 Arudha Lg: Vrishabha (AL)  Mrityupada: Makara (A8)  Hora Lg: 4R 29° 12' (HL) Chart 89 is horoscope of late Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi who was assassinated on 21st May 1991, at about 10 pm at Sriperumbudur, Tamil Nadu.

Kakshya (a) Lg Lord + 8th Lord = fixed + fixed = short life (b) Lg + Hora Lg = fixed + dual = long life (c) Sa + Ch = dual + fixed = long life Basic life span is long life, at 72 - 108 years. Atmakarak Budh is in Lagna showing Vipareeta Ayur Yoga. Thus, Budh (some relative or colleague) gains life as native's life span is reduced according to placement of 8th Bhava Lord. Since 8th Lord is in a 1st Bhava this is reduced to middle life (36 - 72 years).

Shoola Dasa Shoola Dasas begin from Simha and are for 9 years each. Thus Madhya Ayus is from 5th (Dhanur) to 8th (Meena). Makara is conjoined Ketu and aspected by specific death inflicting combination of Chandr & Sukr from Simha. Thus Makara indicates death period. 6th Shoola Dasa (45 - 54 years) will be the end. Death inflicting Shoola Dasa Rasi will be Lagna of the assassin (in chart of Shri M.K. Gandhi, death occurred in Mithuna Shoola Dasa, and Lagna of the assassin was Mithuna). Ketu in Makara shows a female terrorist. Place and nature of death is seen from 3rd from Arudha Lagna and 8th Bhava (reckoned directly or as per Vriddha Karakas). 3rd from Arudha Lagna is Karkataka and has Rahu in it to show Dustamaran Yoga (bad death / unnatural and violent). Rahu in 12th Bhava shows secret enemies who will hatch a plot to assassinate him. He was killed in a violent bomb blast. 8th Bhava from Lagna & AK by Vriddha Karika is Karkataka with Rahu in it to show violent incident. 8th Bhava from Lagna & AK as per regular reckoning is Meena a dual Rasi showing death due to travelling and within country. Since all Grahas except Sani (wife - 7th Lord), Mangal (family - 4th Lord), Rahu (plotters) aspect deathinflicting Rasi from Simha, death occurred during a large public gathering before 1991 elections. Rahu and Ketu are one and the same demon. Rahu represents head that plots (Prabhakaran and other LTTE chiefs) while Ketu represents headless (and obedient) mercenaries who execute the orders. In any subversive operation, these nodes deserve special attention as in negative they can be very bad.

Year of death (a) Navamsa method - in Navamsa, Sani is in 7th Bhava showing possibility of death in 39th, 43rd or 47th year. Rajiv Gandhi died in his 47th year (correct). (b) Rath's rule (1) - in Trimsamsa Sani is in 1st Bhava showing death in 41st, 45th or 49th year (incorrect). These rules for year determination are not very handy tools and should be used with caution.

Month of death Rath's rule (2) - Arudha Pada of 8th Bhava (A8 Mrityupada) is in Makara. Thus Surya should be in an earthy Rasi (Vrishabha, Kanya or Makara) at the time of death. Surya was in Vrishabha on 21st May 1991 (correct). This rule is invariably correct.

Vedic date of death (Tithi) Rath's rule (3) - there are no Grahas in 5th Bhava and 5th Lord is in Simha conjoining a host of Grahas including Surya. Surya shall dominate in Simha and Tithi can be Pratipad (1) or Navami (9). On 21st May 991 at 10 pm Tithi was Navami (correct). This rule is also invariably correct. page ~ 103 ~




Vedic time of death (Lagna) Rath's rule (4) - Arudha Lagna (AL) is Vrishabha. Hence Lagna at the time of death could be Trikonas or 7th from Vrishabha. Lagna was around the last degree of Vrischika, 7th Bhava from AL (correct).

Saham transit Since Sri Rajiv Gandhi was born in day time, Jeeva Saham is seen as follows: Jeeva Saham

= Sa - Gu + Lg + 30° = 2R 14° 13' - 4R 12° 12' + 4R 14° 46' + 30° = 3R 16° 47' (Karkataka)

At the time of death, Sani was transiting Makara and aspecting Jeeva Saham in Karkataka. With these cases we have been able to provide a very systematic method for determining longevity, month and time of death. Umpteen cases have been provided in my translation of Maharishi Jaimini's Upadesa Sutras. These may be studied to obtain some expertise in determining Kakshya and Dasa.

Political legacy In Dasamsa (D-10) of Rajiv Gandhi 8th Lord Chandr showing inheritance from mother is placed in Makara. Karma is seen from Artha Trikona (2nd, 6th & 10th Bhava) while business is seen from 7th Bhava. Mangal as 12th Lord joins Budh in 6th Bhava (service) to show his profession (service) as a pilot. However, luminaries in 2nd and 10th Bhava would compel him to join politics (Surya). This occurred due to untimely demise by assassination of his mother Smt. Indira Gandhi in October 1984 and by force of circumstances created by Chandr, he was compelled to inherit political legacy of congress (I) party and became Prime Minister of India. Since Chandr rules inheritance / congress (I) legacy, examine Argala from it. Rahu has Argala that is fully obstructed by Sani & Ketu indicating that political legacy (Chandr) would at a later date fall into other's hands (Sani - old man). Rahu has unobstructed Argala on Lagna and creates circumstances like sudden death and vacuum that pressurize native to join politics. Sani and Ketu also have Argala on Lagna. Sukr (wife / younger brother in 3rd Bhava) tries to remove it and advise him not to enter politics, but Sani and Ketu are stronger. The riotous situation needed control and Rajiv Gandhi was compelled by his destiny to enter politics and inherit legacy in Vimsottari Dasa of Rahu - Guru - Sani. Chart 90 - female, Indira Gandhi, born on 19th November 1917, 23:03 IST, 25 N 28, 81 E 52.

Chart 90

Chart 90 is horoscope of late PM Smt. Indira Gandhi who was assassinated on 31st October 1997. Arudha Lagna is in Mesha and 3rd Bhava is Mithuna with Ketu in it (death by mistake / error of judgment) aspected by Rahu (Dustamaran Yoga - assassination / violent death), and Sukr (entertainment / camera / TV). She was assassinated by her personal bodyguards who were a part of extremist outfit when she was going to garden (Mithuna / Kanya aspects) to give a press interview to a TV crew (waiting with cameras etc.). This press is seen from Budh in 8th Bhava from AL. 8th Bhava from Lagna and AL are fixed Rasis hence death was in her own house. Shoola Dasas begin from Makara. She was killed in Simha Dasa with Mangal in it aspected by Chandr. However, while using Navamsa Dasas this will be seen in Kanya as it begins from Mesha. Difference in Shoola & Navamsa Dasas is the weightage given to Atmakarak & Lagna Lord respectively in protecting native. In Shoola Dasas AK plays a vital role and Rudra Yogas (Chandr & Sukr, Chandr & Mangal) will always dominate. This makes predictive aspect easier and hence Shoola Dasas are recommended. Thus, Shoola Dasa - Antardasa was of Simha (Mangal) and Makara (Chandr) and fatal combination of Chandr and Mangal in mutual aspect worked. Thus, this will narrow down period of death between 19th August 1984 and 19th May 1985. page ~ 104 ~




Month of death Rath's rule (2) indicates that Mrityupada A8 in Thula would require Surya to be in Mithuna, Thula or Kumbha (note: Mrityupada has been calculated from Rahu instead of Sani as it is stronger in company of Sukr as Sani is alone). Surya was in Thula at the time of death.

Vedic date of death 9th Bhava (female chart) is vacant and its Lord Guru is placed in Vrishabha. However, it is subject to a Parivartan Yoga (exchange of Rasis resulting in exchange of duties) with Sukr. Thus Sukr shall do the work of Guru and, in conjunction with Rahu, Tithi determined would be Astami (8) or Amavasya (New Chandr, Tithi 30). She was killed on Astami (8) Tithi (correct - Rath's rule 3).

Vedic time of death Arudha Lagna (AL) is Mesha, and she died when Dhanur was in Lagna. Being in Trikonas to Arudha Lagna, it proves Rath's rule (4). Chart 91 Chart 91 - Princess Diana, born on 1st July 1961, 02:10 pm (summer time), 01:10 pm GMT. Lg Ch Bu R Sk Ra

 Arudha Lg: Dhanur (AL)  Mrityupada: Dhanur (A8)  Darapada: Vrischika (A7)  Upapada: Mesha (UL) Chart 91 is horoscope of Princess Diana. There are various time of birth given by many sources. However, time given by Yogiraj Karveji, great mystic of India, is 01:10 pm GMT with about 25° of Kanya in Lagna. Let us confirm whether this data fits the date & time of death. She died a violent death due to a car crash on 31st August 1997 at 01:00 am. Thus, actual death could have occurred anywhere between 01 am to 04 am (officially declared time).

Transit Surya Surya was in Simha at the time of death. Thus Mrityupada (A8) in natal chart should be in fiery Rasis or in Kumbha. In the wide time range of 12 noon to 09 pm (GMT), only 2 possible Lagnas, Kanya and Makara can have this feature.

Transit - Lagna of death Although official time given was 04 am till doctors tried all medical means to save her, death should have occurred in Mithuna Lagna. This would be 7th from Arudha Lagna in Dhanur (for Kanya Lagna). If Makara Lagna is chosen, Arudha Lagna will be in Thula and death Lagna in Mithuna fits. However, Thula, Vrischika and Dhanur as natal Lagnas just do not fit.

Shoola Dasa Princess Diana died in her 37th year, just at the beginning (first Dasa, first Antardasa) of 5th Shoola Dasa. With Kanya Lagna, this will be Makara Dasa - Makara Antara. Makara has Chandr in it aspected by Sukr from Vrishabha and Mangal & Rahu from Simha. It is also conjoined Sani and debilitated Guru could not do anything. For Makara Lagna, Chandr would shift to Kumbha and Shoola Dasa - Antara would be of Vrishabha aspected by Guru & Sani only. This is unlikely to kill. Hence only Lagna that can furnish Shoola Dasa, Surya transit (month) and time (Lagna) is Kanya.

Place of death 8th Bhava from Kanya and Dhanur (Lagna & AL) are movable Rasis showing that death will be in a distant land. She died in France outside her home country England. Nature of death is seen from 3rd Bhava from Arudha Lagna. This has Ketu (accident / error of judgment) in an evil Rasi Kumbha. Death was by accident. The car overturned at high speed killing 3 people and one survived. It may be noted that Ketu is Lord of Darapada (A7) ruling extra-marital relationships and lovers. She was with her fiancé at the time of the crash. Thus, there is no doubt that Darapada (A7) page ~ 105 ~




caused her death. Vedic date of death (Tithi) is seen from 9th Bhava from Lagna. This has 9th Lord Sukr in it indicating that death could occur in Shasti (6) or Chaturdasi (14). She died on Chaturdasi (14) Tithi again confirming that rising Rasi would be Kanya.

Marriage Upapada is in Mesha as its Lord Mangal goes to royal Rasi Simha with Rahu. This is aspected by Chandr, Guru and Sani from Makara. In Navamsa Mangal in 11th Bhava. Chara Darakaraka is Sukr, and also as Kalatrakarak and 9th Lord is in 9th Bhava of good fortune. Thus, her good fortune was her marriage. Although 7th Lord Guru is in debility, it conjoins Sani and AK Chandr to give Neechabhanga and indicate royal status. 2nd from Upapada has Sukr showing outside contacts / relations as cause of break in marriage. This is sure to happen when Sukr is in a Dusthana (6th, 8th, 12th) from Navamsa Lagna. The worst is 6th Bhava position which occurs in this chart in Navamsa. Engagement occurred on 24th February 1981, in Rahu Dasa Surya Antardasa and she was married on 29th July 1981 in Rahu Dasa Chandr Antardasa. Rahu is the strongest Graha influencing Upapada and is in Simha. In Navamsa, Surya is in Kumbha (owned by Rahu) as Rahu is in Vrishabha in great strength. Surya also gave results of Bhadra Mahapurush Yoga in conjunction with Budh in 10th Bhava in Mithuna. Chandr is in 5th from Rahu in Navamsa and conjoins 7th Lord Sani to give marriage in its period.

 Arudha Lg: Simha (AL) Chart 92 is horoscope of the greatest Saint of modern India - Swami Vivekananda. At the outset I should remind the readers of basic teaching that LONGEVITY OF A PERFECT SAINT SHOULD NOT BE PREDICTED as they have gift of Iccha Mrityu (self-willed death - not suicide). Swami Vivekananda was such a Saint born with Atmakarak Surya in Vargottama Navamsa in Dhanur Lagna and Navamsa Lagna is in 12th Bhava (Bhava of emancipation) from Karakamsa. This combination is also seen in chart of his Guru Sri Ramakrishna Paramhamsa. Sukr and Ketu in Trikonas to powerful Guru in Navamsa Lagna show his perfect understanding of scriptures, and all branches of learning including Jyotish (perfect Gyana Yoga). However, let us study Ayur Yoga in his chart for academic purpose. Kakshya is Madhya Ayus (middle life 36 - 72 years) and Shoola Dasas begin from Lagna Dhanur. Middle life Shoola Dasas range from Mesha to Karkataka. Mithuna is aspected by Sani & Chandr combination and could kill but for aspect of Atmakarak Surya that is too powerful and would save him. Vrishabha is aspected by Guru. Thus between Mesha and Karkataka, both aspected by Rahu, the former has Mangal in it forming a negative combination. This will indicate death between 36 to 45 years. However, Vimsottari Dasa running during Mesha Shoola Dasa would be Lagna Lord Guru. Vimsottari Dasa running at the time of Karkataka Shoola Dasa would be that of Budh and this would have been prediction of any astrologer under normal circumstances.

Chart 92 a

Chart 92 a - Punya Tithi of Swami Vivekananda, 4th July 1902, 09:10 pm IST, 22 N 32, 88 E 22. What is Iccha Mrityu? In the book "Vivekanand: A Biography" by Swami Nikhilanand it has been recorded that Swami Vivekanand had foretold his longevity at 40 years. He had stated in a letter that his worldly duties were coming to an end and that he wanted to take rest forever... that there was a deep desire to stay in isolation. Sri Ramakrishna Paramhamsa had stated that after his worldly task was accomplished, Narain (Swami Vivekananda) would go permanently into a Samadhi (Yogic trance) page ~ 106 ~




and after he realizes his true nature, he would refuse to continue to stay in this body. When Guru or Sukr is in 3rd Bhava from Arudha Lagna, native or his near ones are aware of the end is quite apt for this chart where Guru is in 3rd Bhava from Arudha Lagna in Thula owned by Sukr. Swami Vivekananda was running Dasa of Guru and Antardasa of Sukr. As Pratyantar Dasa of Budh dawned, Swamiji obtained a Panchanga (Vedic ephemeris) and studied planetary positions just before a week from D-day. All people at Belur Math could see that Swamiji was quite perplexed about some planetary calculations that took "some time" to decide. Some modern day Sanyasis shun astrology. I wonder how many of them could have told their minds to Swamiji. In fact, a true Gyana Yogi respects knowledge in every form for in it he sees Sri Dasa Maha Vidya (10 great forms of knowledge of Divine Mother personifying all creation). In an apt repetition of the last supper in which Jesus Christ had washed the feet of his pupils (signifying handing over of charge of Guru). Swami Vivekananda also washed hands of his pupils after dinner. On 4th of July 1902 after evening prayers, Swamiji retired into his chamber with orders that unless he called none was to enter. For about an hour he chanted a Mantra with rosary and meditated. Then he called the pupil and asked him to open windows and use a fan. There was a slight shiver that ran down his body. He took a very long and deep breath and held it for 2 to 3 minutes (Pranayama). He repeated this and his eyes rolled and were fixed at the middle of his eyebrows. Suddenly there was a glow on his face and a very peaceful countenance. Little blood came out of his eyes, nose and mouth. This is confirmation that soul has left through Brahma Dwara. Maha Samadhi (Yogic death) occurred at 09:10 pm. Planetary positions are in chart 92 A. Rath's rule (2) - Mrityupada (A8) is in Vrischika and Surya should have been in Meena, Vrishabha, Karkataka or Vrischika at the time of death. This did not happen showing that predictive tools normally applicable for mortals does not really work for such advanced Yogis. Rath's rule (3) - Arudha Lagna is in Simha thus allowing death Lagna to be either Simha, Dhanur, Kumbha or Mesha. The end came when Kumbha was rising confirming use of Panchanga by Swamiji to time Samadhi. Rath's rule (4) - 5th Bhava is Mesha with Mangal in it. Thus under normal circumstances, the end should have come on Truteeya (3) or Ekadasi (11) Tithi. Swamiji willed his end on Chaturdasi (14) Tithi. Thus, important lesson to be learnt is that it is futile to attempt to time death of Saints for they have rare gifts from Lord. We can only make a postmortem after incident is over. Chart 93

Timing disease Chart 93 - male, 12th October 1956, at Madras, 12:15 pm IST, 13 N 05, 80 E 17.  Arudha Lg: Mesha (AL)  Mrityupada: Mesha (A8)  Satrupada: Simha (A6)  Atmakarak: Guru  Birth star: Uttarasadha (21) In chart 93, 8th Lord Chandr is in Makara, 10th Bhava of natural zodiac ruling legs and knee. Readers can check for themselves that this chart has Madhya Ayus (36 - 72 years) and that Shoola Dasas beginning from Mithuna can be very dangerous at Vrischika (45 - 54 years) and Makara (63 - 72 years). Vrischika is 8th Bhava from Arudha Lagna having Sani and Rahu conjunction aspected by Chandr. This causes disease of legs (Sani) and serious nervous problems like paralysis (Rahu). Since Chandr aspects this combination it will divert evil forces of Rahu and Sani to fluid system of the legs that can cause elephantiasis (fileria etc.). Shoola Dasa of Vrischika starts in 1991 and is till 2000. Conjunction of Rahu and Sani in 8th from AL can cause Dustamaran Yoga, but aspect of 8th Lord Chandr on it causes disease. Since this combination is in 12th Bhava from Lagna, it shows hospitalization, long-term treatment etc. Atmakarak Guru is in Satrupada (A6) with 6th Lord Sukr. In Navamsa, Atmakarak is well placed in Dhanur, but is very evil in 3rd Bhava from Navamsa Lagna. Further, in Rasi chart it is placed in 8th Bhava from Chandr causing Sakata Yoga (obstacles, turmoil, disease) and is placed in 12th from Chandr in Navamsa again causing Sakata Yoga (Guru in 6th, 8th or 12th from Chandr causes Sakata Yoga). Thus with the advent of Guru Dasa in 1995 knee problem became serious and chronic ill health resulted. The legs were almost immobile and native could not stand up even for a few minutes. Sani is Gnati Karak (GK) and its Vimsottari period should be favorable. Vimsottari Dasa period of Gnatikarak gives strength to fight enemies, remove page ~ 107 ~




disease and recover. Antardasa of Sani in Guru Dasa started on 30th November 1997. Native received a Mantra of Ganapati, wore a Moonga (red coral) and his leg recovered miraculously. He was walking by January 1998 and even travelled to Delhi. Mangal being in Trimsamsa Lagna gives good physical strength and quick recovery from disease and the coral worked wonders. However, some Ayurvedic doctors who were treating him earlier came up with new findings. One said AIDS, another kidney malfunction and a third said liver TB!!! Native was shuttling between hospitals, test laboratories and doctors for the past one month and bank balance dwindled (Sani is 2nd Lord of wealth in 12th - hospitals / doctors in 8th from AL - disease with Rahu -undetectable disease). Native was advised to throw those papers / test reports in dustbin and wait till Pratyantar of Budh (Lord of Trimsamsa Lagna). With the advent of Vimsottari Dasa - sub-sub-sub period of Guru - Sani - Budh he travelled to Delhi (North - Budh), met his old family doctor (Guru) and has regained physical health. In Trimsamsa Budh is exalted, but afflicted by 8th Lord Sani and nodes. Hence, it was better to wait for Budh than to take wrong medication. Chart 94 Chart 94 - female, 3rd May 1981, at Delhi, 06:30 am IST, 28 N 39, 77 E 13.  Arudha Lg: Meena (AL)  Mrityupada: Meena (A8)  Atmakarak: Sukr (AK) Chart 94 has a 5 Graha conjunction including Atmakarak Sukr in 12th Bhava. For timing disease, Lord of 22nd decanate from Lagna (same as 8th Lord in D-3) and 64th Navamsa from Chandr (same as Lord of 4th Bhava from Chandr in D-9) are also to be examined. In D-3 chart, Vrishabha rises and Guru is 8th Lord. Guru is also Lord of 8th Bhava in Rasi chart and conjoins Badhakesh (Lord of obstruction) Sani in 5th Bhava. Thus, disease can be anticipated in Shoola Dasas of dual Rasis that aspect this Guru & Sani combination. Type of disease / trouble is seen in Navamsa occupied by Badhakesh Sani. Sani is in debility in Mesha in Navamsa (D-9) chart (head) conjoining Chandr (mind) and Ketu (eclipse). Ketu that further afflicts this Sani & Chandr is also placed in Badhak Sthana (place of obstruction) in Rasi chart in Makara. Chandr is in Gandanta (i.e. 1st Navamsa of Mesha) and is very dangerous. In Navamsa, 4th Lord from Chandr (64th Navamsa) is Chandr itself and shows disease. Thus, all 3 Grahas Sani, Chandr & Ketu independently and jointly show disease of head region like fits etc. In Trimsamsa (D-30) disease is seen in 8th Bhava and its Trikonas. 8th Bhava is Dhanur with Mangal in it and Chandr in 12th Bhava in Mesha. This again confirms danger in head region. Shoola Dasas begin from Vrischika and in 1989 in Shoola Dasa - Antara of Vrischika - Kanya she had her first epileptic fit. Subsequently after Dhanur Dasa started, these have became dangerous and violent and she has been getting temporary relief due to good doctors (see Lagna Lord and AK Sukr in 12th Bhava ruling doctors / hospitals). However, since Dhanur aspects Badhak Lord and Mrityupada in Kanya / Meena respectively, this disease could continue till her 18th year and since this combination is in 5th Bhava (prayers) a sincere bow to Lord Siva with Mahamrutunjaya Mantra would help. Her father has started this Mantra seriously and considerable improvement is seen. It may be noted that during Shoola Dasa of Rasis that aspect Arudha Lagna, death-like suffering can occur. Here Arudha Lagna is in Meena aspected by Dasa Rasi Dhanur.

Thus 2nd from AL has a debilitated Graha as 2nd Lord Guru is debilitated in 3rd Bhava (place of death) from AL in Makara. 3rd and 8th Lord from Lagna, i.e. Sukr, is also debilitated in 7th Bhava. Guru gets Neechabhanga page ~ 108 ~




(some cancellation of debility) due to Sani in a Kendra and negligible longevity indicated by debility of Lords of 1st, 10th & 8th Bhava would be enhanced to short life. Shoola Dasas begin from Kanya and period of Vrischika Dasa (18 27 years) could be bad due to AL in Vrischika aspected by Mangal and debilitated Guru. However, Guru's aspect always provides relief through doctors etc. She developed serious liver problems and later even kidney disorders. She has had 2 two successful operations (thanks to Guru aspect). Next Dasa would be of Dhanur with debilitated Rahu aspected by Ketu and Sani. This could be dangerous and she had been given a Mantra for propitiating Guru. Disease and its cure were both brought about by Guru ruling the liver, as martian aspect also damages liver. Kidney problems are seen from Sani & Ketu in 4th while Dasa of Vrischika shows accumulation of poison in the body, i.e. excretory system fails. Shoola Dasas are an invaluable tool in timing disease. Medical astrology requires some working knowledge of medicine, diseases, their causative factors and cure. Chart 96 - male, 12th November 1934, at Cuttack, 06:20 pm IST, 20 N 30, 85 E 50.

Chart 96

In chart 96, Arudha Lagna is in Meena with a host of Grahas in 8th Bhava in Thula. This indicates a natural gambling and risk taking ability. Conjunction of Sukr and Guru constitutes a Vipareeta Rajyoga as they are Lords of 6th and 8th Bhava in Rasi chart. Mrityupada (A8) is in Simha with Mangal in it. This is very adverse as it indicates debts and strife due to negative effects of Mangal as 7th & 12th Lord, i.e. poor business plans and excessive expenditure. Mangal is also in 8th Bhava from Atmakarak (Sani) and Chandr showing that residence in one's birth place (fixed Rasi in Eastern direction - Simha) shall prove to be very adverse for peace and prosperity. Rahu is a very beneficial Graha as it conjoins Yogakarak Sani to indicate its results. In Navamsa, it is in 12th Bhava indicating residence away from home and secret enemies. In Dasamsa, it is debilitated in 7th Bhava in Dhanur that is very adverse for business and favors service. During Rahu Dasa, native had a fantastic career graph with an initial stint with State Government, then Central Government in mining where he received Vice-President of India's gold medal for meritorious service in Rahu Dasa Budh Antardasa. Budh has Subhargala on Rahu and is Lord of Dasamsa Lagna. It is also 2nd & 5th Lord in Rasi chart placed in 10th Bhava from Rahu. Later in Sukr Antardasa of Rahu Dasa, he left Government service to join private sector and had fantastic jumps till the advent of Mangal's Antardasa. Mangal is also placed in 8th Bhava from Rahu in Rasi chart and is very adverse for finances. It shows a period of strife. Since it is a natural malefic placed in 6th Bhava from Arudha Lagna, native may be tempted to misuse his position and make some money on the side. He also purchased land to build his house during this Mangal Antardasa and also shifted his official residence to a house that was supposed to be "jinxed". Things started going all wrong and with the advent of Guru Dasa, he left the service to start business of his own. Guru is natural benefic owning 7th Bhava in Dasamsa and promotes business instead of service by being in 9th Bhava of independent work. Guru is 8th Lord in Rasi and Navamsa and will surely promote Mrityupada with Mangal in it. Since Mangal is 7th Lord (Karaka Sukr) and due to Vipareeta Yoga, native ran into immeasurable debts till the advent of Sukr Antardasa when his project was sanctioned and his debts were cleared. Business flourished till Antardasa of Mangal in Guru. Mangal is a malefic in 6th Bhava from AL and prompts one into strange / wrong means to make money. Native got involved in some Hundi transaction, which although regular businesses feature, was used by his opponents in Rahu Antardasa to malign him. Rahu Antardasa again saw business tumble and assets get destroyed. A malefic in debility in 7th Bhava in Dasamsa destroys business and promotes service. Native was dragged into court cases. Since Rahu is in Trikonas to Lagna in Rasi chart and Lagna Lord conjoins 8th Lord, chronic bronchial problems started and oxygen was needed every evening. Court cases ended with Sani Dasa and native took up a job. However, his position has been going from bad to worse as effect of Mangal in 8th Bhava from AK continues as he continues to reside in Eastern direction. Solution under such cases is to use a diamond for Sukr and positive effects of 7th Bhava.

Chart 97 - male, born on 23rd November 1930, at Nawgang Assam, 14:14 IST, 26 N 21, 92 E 42.

Chart 97

In chart 97, Rahu is in Lagna in Rasi (D-1), Navamsa (D-9) and Dasamsa (D-10) chart thus becoming an important significator of Lagna. Guru is naturally very inimical to such a Rahu and its placement in 4th Bhava may not damage family affairs, but will surely damage Bhava it aspects. Thus 10th Bhava with powerful Sani - Chandr Yoga comes under direct gaze of Guru. Guru is also Lord of Mrityupada (A8) placed in Arudha Lagna (AL) thereby connecting malefic affairs of 8th Bhava with affairs of native. This may not cause physical harm, bur can surely damage his image (Maya is governed by Arudha Lagna). In Navamsa, Rahu, Guru and Budh are Vargottama. During Guru Dasa, Grahas in 6th Bhava from it become highly inimical. Thus Budh is not only Lord of Badhaksthana, in Rasi and Navamsa, but also placed in Vargottama in 6th Bhava from a Vargottama Guru. A malefic Budh indicated law suits and court cases and trouble related to profession. Surya & Sukr in 6th Bhava from Guru is also bad showing trouble from Gov. and ladies. With the advent of Guru Dasa on 31st January 1992, native retired from Government service. Guru is a natural benefic and Lord of 5th & 8th Bhava in Dasamsa chart controlling authority from Government and retirement, loans etc. Being in 8th Bhava, it has Subhargala (benefic intervention) on 7th Bhava of business by being in 2nd Bhava from it. This ensures business success, loans etc. and being aspected by Dasamsa Lagna Lord Surya and 4th Lord Mangal brought some money from real estate business in Antardasas of Guru and Sani till October 1996. However, as 8th Lord in 8th Bhava it gives retirement from service. 6th Bhava from Guru in Dasamsa is Lagna itself with Rahu in it indicating that Rahu will be very malefic for professional matters throughout Guru Dasa. In Lagna, it spoils reputation of native and with the advent of Guru Dasa, his old enemies showed their heads and after his retirement, dragged him into a case in count involving misuse of authority (Rahu in Simha in Dasamsa) for monetary benefit (Surya in 2nd Bhava). As indicated earlier, Budh being in 6th Bhava from Guru in Rasi and Navamsa charts is prime cause of court cases. During Antardasa of Budh in Guru Dasa, court case went against him and high court ordered his detention. A stay was obtained and a review petition was filed in November 1997 during Pratyantar Dasa of Chandr. It may be noted that Antardasa Graha was in 6th from Guru and 12th Bhava from Chandr (these are evil places for these Grahas as per Sarvartha Chintamani). 



9th Bhava looks into father (significator Surya), teacher (significator Guru), fortune, religion (significator Surya), spiritualism (significator Ketu) and God (significator Guru), higher studies & higher knowledge, long distance travel (significator Sukr), joining of religious order or Diksha (initiation into Mantra etc., significator Guru), past life and cause of birth (significators Sani & Rahu respectively) etc. Being 5th from 5th Bhava, it controls future and stands for grand-children as well. Since it is the real protector of individual, it is called Vishnu Sthana or Dharma Bhava. As 7th from 3rd, it stands for spouse of co-born. Dharma, in broader sense, stands for principles that a person adopts in his life. Thus, since 9th Bhava has Argala on 6th, 8th and 5th Bhava, these principles have a telling impact on friends & foes alike as well as on children & grand-children of native. Hence the need for a good Guru and Mantra Diksha. Argala on 8th Bhava implies that 9th Bhava tends to make native debt-free thereby giving wealth and good fortune to native by preventing accidents and various evils represented by 8th Bhava.

9.2



Argalas



In a similar manner, 10th, 12th, 1st and 7th Bhava have Argala on 9th Bhava or have capacity to intervene in its affairs. Malefic in 10th Bhava is not only bad for father, but also obstructs smooth flow of good fortune. Thus, a Sani in 10th Bhava can cause vast fluctuations in one's fortunes, as it is capable of obstructing Guru significator. Similarly, nodes in page ~ 110 ~




10th Bhava can act very inimically to father and obstruct career growth, relations with superiors etc. Benefic in 12th Bhava will have Subhargala on 9th Bhava thereby intervening in religious matters like bringing native into contact with his Guru etc. They also point towards long journeys for the purpose of foreign residence or longest journey of soul after death. Lagna also alters the flow of good fortune or otherwise as it has Argala on 9th Bhava. A malefic or debilitated Graha in Lagna shows lack of ideals and teachings or blessings of 9th Bhava are not absorbed. In the same manner, a natural malefic in 7th Bhava can give a bad spouse who will hinder observance of principles. Relationship of Lords of Bhavas with that of 9th Bhava and significators are to be examined for a complete picture.

9.3

Elders



All elders are seen in Dwadasamsa chart (D-12), as is the lineage. Father is seen in 9th Bhava from Lagna and Surya. Grand-father is seen in 5th Bhava from Lagna and Surya. Grand-mother is seen in 12th Bhava from Lagna and Surya. Similarly, mother is seen in 4th Bhava from Lagna and Chandr. Maternal grand-father and grand-mother are seen from 12th Bhava & 7th Bhava respectively from Lagna and Chandr. Dwadasamsa plays a significant role in shaping childhood and heritage of native and should be examined closely. If Lord of Lagna rising in Dwadasamsa is placed in Dusthana in Rasi chart, death of such a relative could occur prior to birth of native (or just after). However, if significator is conjoined a powerful Guru or Budh, survival is assured after some calamity. For example, if Surya is in 8th Bhava in Rasi chart as Dwadasamsa Lagna rising is Simha or Meena, death of father will occur before birth of native. Grahas in 2nd or 7th Bhava or their Lords or Grahas conjoining these Lords or aspecting these Bhavas from each of aforementioned elders could cause their death. Thus for father, 2nd / 7th Bhava would be 10th or 3rd Bhava. Grahas influencing these Bhavas cause death of father in their Dasa periods.

9.4



Karma



Karma inherited through generations from father's lineage is seen in 9th Bhava in Akshavedamsa (D-45) while that inherited from mother's lineage is seen in Khavedamsa (D-40) and its 4th Bhava. Similarly, Karma inherited by native in his past births is seen in Shastyamsa (D-60). It is for this reason that Parasara gives highest weightage to Shastyamsa chart in Vimsopaka strength scheme. 9th Bhava plays a significant role in these charts. However, an indepth examination of these higher divisions is beyond purview of this book.

9.5



Religion



Religiosity and spiritual leanings are seen in Vimsamsa (D-20). Grahas in Trikonas to Vimsamsa Lagna provide the deities native will like to worship as well as his Mantra. This divisional chart is very personal and connects individual to the occult. Mantra recitation is seen in 9th Bhava (Japa), Bhakti (love / adoration of any deity is seen in 5th Bhava) while meditation is seen in 12th Bhava. Karakas for these are Guru, Sukr and Ketu respectively while overall control is with luminaries. Dasamsa (D-10) is also examined about the work (Karma) that individual does to further his spiritual leanings. This could be gigantic task of setting up Ramakrishna mission or headship of Advaita Math's of Sankaracharya. For example, in every Dasamsa of head (Sankaracharya) of Kanchi Kamakoti Peetham Dasamsa Lagna seems be a water Rasi (being in Trikonas to Karkataka) with a powerful Guru - Mangal Yoga. Pravrajya Yoga is caused by conjunction of 4 or more Grahas in a Kendra. However, there will be many children born during the day or conjunction of these 4 or more Grahas may continue for some period. How then do we identify priest or saint? What will be extent of renunciation? Renunciation of material and bodily wants is complete renunciation. Thus if Lagna is aspected by Sani (Brahma) or if Subhapati (Lord of Chandr Rasi) is only aspected by Sani, Brahma Vrata is taken. If Sani alone aspects Lord of Lagna or vice-versa, Pravrajya Yoga occurs. If all Grahas aspect Lord of Chandr Rasi by Rasi or planetary sight, then native becomes a famous Sanyasi. If 4 or more Grahas are in Kendras with Lord of 10th Bhava, then native attains heaven after death. If Guru is in Meena in Lagna, Nirvana is indicated. If Guru, Chandr and Lagna associate with Sani, native renounces worldly pleasures. Parasara gives a fine hint to examine Upapada that deals with marriage. If Ketu is in Navamsa Lagna aspected by Sani, native is a fake Sanyasi while Sukr joining this combination produces a powerful Tapaswi (one practicing penance).

Worshipping



The later day texts say that Surya produces a worshipper of Surya god, Ganesh and Shakti and one reciting Gayatri Mantra. Chandr gives a Saivaite or a Bhakti Margi (creed of adoring deity). Mangal gives a begging tendency while Budh can produce a seller of herbs / medicines in the garb of a monk or a Tantrik. Guru produces truthful saints and true saints (Gyana Yoga) while Sukr produces a Vaisnavite. Sani produces Tantriks and Aghoris etc. and can give very severe penance. Benefic Grahas should be in 3rd or 6th Bhava from Arudha Lagna or malefic Grahas should be in 2nd, 4th or 7th for renunciation. Rahu in 7th or 12th Bhava from AL produces deep spiritualism. Renunciation can be timed from Drig Dasa and Arudha Lagna. This can also be timed from Vimsottari Dasa of Atmakarak, Sani or any benefic in 3rd or 6th Bhava from AL or any other malefic in other Bhavas as indicated.

Hindu deities

Hindu deities at the time of Maharishi Parasara or Jaimini were Siva (Surya), Parvati (Chandr), Kartikeya (Mangal), Vishnu (Budh), Indra (Guru), Sachi or Lakshmi (Sukr as spouse of Indra or Vishnu respectively), Brahma (Sani), Durga (Rahu) and Ganapati (Ketu). Inclination of Christian is seen from Holy Ghost (Surya), Virgin Mary (Chandr), Crusaders (Mangal), Jesus Christ (Guru), Pope and other saints (Budh), angels (Sukr) etc. Later day Hinduism page ~ 111 ~




developed many gods and demi-gods although Parasara mentions Dasavatar or 10 forms of Sri Vishnu that 9 Grahas and Lagna represent. Similarly, there is the cult of Earth Mother and Dasa Maha Vidya.

Grahas in 9th Bhava



Surya or Guru as natural Karakas of 9th Bhava do not suffer from Karaka Bhava Nasa, i.e. they do not damage signification of 9th Bhava and instead enhance them. Even if Surya is in Thula in 9th Bhava, if either of Sukr or Mangal is strong in a Kendra, good fortune results. Native is principled, righteous and truthful. If Rahu afflicts Surya, early death of father could result in misfortune. If Budh afflicts Surya, the mind could be full of doubts and wrong thoughts. Guru in 9th Bhava is a blessing in any chart promising goodwill, honesty, blessings of superiors and Guru, spiritual and religious, native does a lot of good service for society. Natural afflicters of Surya and Guru are Sani and Rahu. If Sani is in 9th, a ruby will be useful while if Rahu is in 9th Bhava, native may not stop lying or getting into intrigues until Guru becomes favorable or a yellow sapphire is used (doctrines of Suka Nadi). These also bring misfortunes on father and Guru. Hence, use of concerned stones is advised. If Sani is in dignity, it gives an attitude of renunciation while Rahu makes a person go to extremes to fulfill his desires. Chandr in 9th shows foreign travel and even possible residence, as it is Karaka for home. If afflicted, this can bring tremendous misfortunes while if well placed from Arudha Lagna, it promises good fortune throughout life due to blessings of one's mother. Mangal in 9th Bhava makes one very crude and haughty. Given to anger and very courageous, native could like arts and worship Rudra. Budh in 9th is a great blessing giving principles, honesty, good deeds and family happiness unless afflicted by natural malefics as Budh is changeable. Ketu can give excellent spiritual experiences or bad company due to its headless nature. Position and strength of Guru is important for giving a good direction to Ketu. Hence, many astrologers advise use of a gold band in the ring finger when Ketu is in 9th Bhava. However, these Grahas in 9th Bhava from Arudha Lagna are very beneficial and not only protect native, good fortune and monetary benefits accrue. 9th from Arudha Lagna is contributor of material benefits. Grahas in 9th Bhava from Navamsa Lagna make one passionate. This is more true for Mangal and Sukr while Guru makes one obedient to Guru and Surya makes one very dutiful to father.

9.9






9th Lord represents Divinity in chart. If 9th Lord is in Lagna, native is intelligent, well bred and interested in public service as 9th Lord also represents Government / ruler. These results will be modified based on Grahas involved. As in chart of Bhagwan Sri Ram, 9th Lord Guru was exalted in Karkataka Lagna with Lagna Lord Chandr. He was born with Divine virtues and Lakshmi Yoga existed in Lagna itself. Since 9th Lord conjoins Chandr, his mother(s) could make or mar his fortune and during period of Sani in 4th Bhava (mother), a step-mother compelled him to take exile for 14 years. Since 9th Lord was in Lagna (significator Surya also for father and self), his father expired and he had to undergo tremendous hardships. Thus, when Grahas conjoin 9th Lord, Bhavas signified by them should not be conjoined malefic Grahas. Principles governing life of native are seen from Bhava position and Grahas conjoining 9th Lord. If Chandr conjoins 9th Lord, native is very concerned about public view and shapes his life accordingly or if 9th Lord is in 3rd Bhava (ruling passion / copulation), native is quite passionate and his father will be untrustworthy. If 9th Lord should aspect Lagna by Rasi or Graha Dristi to produce higher learning and knowledge. For higher education, Chaturvimsamsa (D-24) should be examined.

Grahas influencing 9th Bhava etc.

Understanding effect of significators



Well known dictum "Karaka Bhava Nasa" which means that "Karaka is bad for Bhava" does not always apply to placement of natural significators in Bhavas signified by them. For example, Surya is not bad in 9th Bhava nor is Guru bad in 2nd or 9th Bhava nor is Sani bad in 8th Bhava. In all these cases, signification of Grahas is considerably page ~ 112 ~




enhanced by their placement in particular Bhava. Thus native with Surya in 9th Bhava is obedient and trustworthy while Guru in 2nd gives good wealth and Sani in 8th enhances longevity which is contrary to word 'Nasa' meaning reduction or destroy. Even Sukr in 7th does not reduce its signification and enhances passion / sex. Therefore, what else could this dictum mean? Other reference by term 'Karaka' is to Chara Karakas or 8 temporary significators. 2 situations arise:

9.11.1.



First situation



First situation arises when Lord of a particular Bhava also becomes temporary significator for Bhava. For example, Lord of Lagna can also be Atmakarak or Lord of 7th Bhava could be Darakarak. Now, the job of a particular Charakarak is to cleanse Bhava of all sins. Thus, period of Atmakarak can be a very trying one as it punishes native for past sins and prepares the way for future development of soul. During this period of punishment, Lord of Lagna plays protective role for Lagna. Now, if Lord of Lagna itself were to be Atmakarak, soul cleansing / punishment could be quite severe and native could either become greatest saint like Sri Ramakrishna Paramhamsa or Mother Sarada (see chart 100 & 101) or could become a devil incarnate (e.g. Adolf Hitler). Similarly, if Lord of 7th Bhava were to be Darakarak, native could have a very spiritual outlook towards marriage and maybe even denied any form of contact, but relationship may not be spoilt (e.g. Mother Sarada - chart 100). In negative, this can cause marital disharmony and could teach very hard lessons on marriage.

9.11.2.



Second situation



Second situation arises when natural significator of a Bhava is also temporary (Chara) significator. For example, Surya could be Atmakaraka both natural & temporary as in the case of Swami Vivekananda and could promise an illustrious life devoted to the welfare of people provided it is connected to Navamsa Lagna in some manner at least. However, native will not be selfish or conceited in any form and will be compelled by his inner nature to give away more than he gets. This can create some personal problems in life. If Sukr were to be Chara Darakarak as well, then, if ill placed native could have some bad experiences pertaining to sex or will be very passionate or very cold., i.e. extremes of sexual behavior are indicated. Thus, in both ways dictum "Karaka Bhava Nasa" does work with Chara Karakas.

Kundalini Shakti is serpent power that is dormant at base of spine called Mooladhara Chakra. There are 7 Chakras including Mooladhara at base of spine, navel, solar plexus, heart, throat, forehead and top of head. 7 Grahas from Surya to Sani signify these and Mokshakarak Ketu is overall significator for the same. In chart of Acharya Rajneesh, Bhagyaroodha (A9) is in 5th Bhava Thula as its Lord conjoins many Grahas in 7th Bhava in Dhanur. Guru is Atmakaraka having exchange of Rasis (and consequently duties) with Chandr. Thus, Chandr shall give results of exalted Atmakarak and Lord of Arudha Lagna Guru. In Vimsamsa (D-20) Simha Lagna has Sukr in it. There is Parivartan Yoga (exchange of Rasis) between Lagna and 10th Lords Surya & Sukr resulting in a powerful Yoga for success in spiritual and occult pursuits. Chandr is Lord of 12th Bhava ruling emancipation & meditation and is in debility in Vrischika occult Rasi ruling Kundalini Shakti etc. As 8th Lord (occult / supernatural events) and 5th Lord (prayer, Mantra etc.) Guru conjoins Chandr in 4th Bhava in Vrischika and fully energizes Chandr to give a page ~ 113 ~




powerful spiritual experience. Lords of Vrischika, Mangal & Ketu are placed in Makara. Exaltation of Mangal and placement of Sukr in a Kendra from Lagna cause Neechabhanga Yoga of Chandr. It may also be noted that all benefics are placed in Kendras and Trikonas while all malefics are in Dusthanas (6th & 8th) or Upachaya (10th). Thus at the beginning of Vimsottari Dasa of Chandr in Antardasa of Sukr in 3rd week of March 1953 (around 14th - 20th March) he suddenly became very remorse and desolate with a kind of nervousness that could not be explained. On 21st March 1953, Rajneesh had a thrilling experience as if some spiritual power entered into the body and its light was unbearable for his human eyes. There was a strange power pulling him out of his body and since then, the body and soul have existed like separate entities. This is a clear expression of astral travel. These kind of occult experiences are closely connected to 8th Bhava and Mrityupada (A8) as it amounts to "dying" for a short while. Mrityupada of Osho is in Vrischika and Surya representing soul should transit Trikonas or 7th Bhava from this Rasi to give any experience akin to death. Surya was in Meena on 21st March 1953. Rath's rule (2) has worked correctly. However, it should be clearly remembered that death has not occurred. Hence, Chandr would not obey Rath's rule (4) and 5th Lord / 5th Bhava would not decide Vedic date (Tithi). Tithi (Vedic date) was Saptami (7) ruled by Sani 8th & 9th Lord of chart. Besides, Chandr was in 12th Bhava from natal Lagna and aspecting Mrityupada from Vrishabha. Vidya Saham (learning point) is 1R 03° 19' in Vrishabha transited by Chandr. Punya Saham is in Karkataka with exalted AK Guru in Trikonas to AL. Normally, renunciation is timed by transit of Mokshakarak Ketu in Trikonas to Arudha Lagna. On 21st March 1953 Ketu was transiting in Karkataka 5th Bhava from Arudha Lagna and Punya Saham and natal AK. This is necessary for such events like Kundalini awakening etc. Transit of Surya, Chandr & nodes has been explained. For further reading, Prasna Marga is recommended for daily transit of Surya - Chandr - Rahu (Chakra). It is significant that Sani was transiting 11th from natal Chandr and aspecting Pars Fortuna (Karkataka 27° 29') while Guru was in 5th from natal Chandr in mutual aspect with Sani. Thus, all transits were very favorable for event. Earlier discussion on Osho (chart 85) may be seen and it may be noted that this is not a case of Pravrajya Yoga, i.e. there is no renunciation. Rasi Meena typically explains Osho's philosophy of Universal Love. Chart 98 a - transit for 21st March 1953, for Mithuna Lagna of Acharya Rajneesh.

ISKCON - the Divine mission (Bhakti Yoga)



When Sri Dinanatha Dasa of ISKCON showed horoscope of Srila Prabhupada as that of Makara rising with Deva Guru - Guru in 8th Bhava in Simha, certain doubts arose. 8th Bhava Guru is said to generate an Asura Yoga with quite Tamasik (base) qualities that was in contrast to Satwa Guna of Srila Prabhupada who lived among drunks and downtrodden people in USA and preached the name of Sri Krishna to them without himself ever getting into those habits or ever becoming materialistic. So overwhelming was the strength of his Satwa that thousands of people chose a pure and pious Vaisnava life. His faith and teachings are centered on Namakirtana expounded by Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu in following stanza: Harernama Harernama Harernamaiva Kevalam, Kalou Nastaiva Nastaiva Nastaiva Gatiranyatha, Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare, Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare. Birth - 01st September 1896, at around 16:00, in Calcutta, 22 N 30, 88 E 23 (given by himself). A Jyotishi had cast his horoscope and made family happy by auspicious prediction that at 70, he would cross the ocean and become a great exponent of religion and open 108 temples. The time recorded in the 19th Century India is quite variable and it goes to the credit of learned astrologers of those days who would also consider charts of parents and automatically correct horoscope before making such a serious prediction. First consideration is that Srila Prabhupada was one of the greatest devotees of Sri Vishnu avatar Jagannath Krishna. Hence, Guru should be fortified in a Kendra or a Trikona. There should also be specific combinations in chart to show this devotion like Lagna Lord in 9th Bhava with 9th Lord makes one a great devotee of Vishnu. If Grahas involved in this Yoga have Satwa Guna like Guru, Surya or Chandr, native will do a lot of service like building temples (significators Guru & Surya). Secondly, when we talk of crossing the ocean, 7th, 9th or 12th Bhava comes into picture. Since prediction of foreign travel is linked to preaching and building temples, 9th Bhava should indicate both and should have Yoga. Third vital hint comes from the age "70 years". In table [30] under para 9.10, secondary years of Surya to affect fortune (9th Bhava) are 48 and 70 years. Thus, Surya should be either Lord of 9th Bhava or strongly associating with 9th Bhava or its Lord for Jyotishi to have made this prediction. Accordingly, chart of Srila Prabhupada has been corrected - birth on 01st September 1896, at 15:24 LMT, at Calcutta.

 Arudha Lg: Mesha (AL)  Upapada: Kumbha (UL)  Bhagyapada: Vrishabha (A9)  Mrityu Pada: Meena (A8) Dhanur a very honest, truthful and God-fearing Rasi is in Lagna in Vargottama with its Lord Guru in 9th Bhava with 9th Lord Surya and Mokshakarak Ketu in religious Rasi Simha. This alone can fully explain his great devotion for Sri Jagannath Krishna (Vishnu Avatar) as well as strong Satwik Guna like that of Maharishi's as well as prediction about foreign travel at 70 years (Surya is 9th Lord in 9th Bhava in 3rd Chaturthamsa). The point is that prediction did come out true. This also explains the fact that Abhay Charan (Prabhupada) had learnt all prayers and religious practices from his father (Lagna Lord conjoins 9th Lord in 9th Bhava) and that his father was not very long-lived (father expired in his 35th year in Pitri Shoola Dasa of Vrischika that is in Trikonas to Karkataka 8th Bhava, as per Vriddha Karika, from Sthira Pitrukarak* Surya in Simha). Dwadasamsa (D-12) has Mangal in Vrischika in Lagna showing birth in an upper middle class family. Treat 9th Bhava from Dwadasamsa Lagna as Lagna of father. This is Karkataka with Guru in 2nd with Ketu and aspected by 2nd Lord Surya and 7th Lord Sani and Rahu. His father died in 1930 in Guru Dasa Surya Antardasa. From Karkataka, Lord Chandr is in 10th Bhava as Budh is in 7th Bhava showing his fathers profession as a cloth (Chandr) merchant (Budh). 4th Bhava from Dwadasamsa Lagna should be treated as Lagna of mother. This is Kumbha with its Lord Rahu and religious sun. However, this eclipse combination can produce either a short-lived saint (Surya) or a long-lived criminal (Rahu). His mother was very pious and died very suddenly in Rahu Dasa Sukr Antardasa. Rahu eclipses 7th Lord from Kumbha and by conjunction will give its results to kill. Sukr is Lord of Badhaksthana from Kumbha debilitated in 8th Bhava. In Rasi (D-1) chart, Sthira Matrukaraka* Chandr & Mangal are in Vrishabha and 8th Bhava as per Vriddha Karika is Mithuna. Thus, death of mother can occur in Matri Shoola Dasas of airy Rasis. Matri Shoola Dasas begin from 10th Bhava Kanya as it is stronger than 4th Bhava Meena and progress zodiacally at 9 years per Rasi. Mother died in his 17th year in Matri Shoola Dasa of airy Rasi Thula that has Sani in it. His father's disposition was cool (Chandr) while his mother was dark (Kumbha) and tended to be fiery (Surya). 1899 - escaped narrowly from burning when his cloth set on fire playing with matches and put the fire out. He retained a small scar on his leg. Karakamsa is Thula with Rahu in it and Mangal in 9th Bhava. This will indicate fire hazards. Personal burns from fire will be caused if these Grahas associate with Navamsa Lagna. Rahu, as AK will give a lot of trouble as in chart of Sri Ramakrishna Paramhamsa (chart 101) and it aspects Guru Lord of Lagna. Mangal aspects Navamsa Lagna. Results of Rahu will be given by its dispositor Sukr. Thus in Mangal Dasa Sukr Antardasa he had this fire accident. In Rasi chart, Lagna Lord Guru is in 9th Bhava (legs) and is aspected by Rahu and Mangal. It also has Papargala of a debilitated Sukr. Thus, the scar was to remain in his leg representing the end of ill effects of malefic aspects on his beneficial Lagna Lord. 1902 - asked his father to have his own Radhakrishna Murtis to worship and offer his food. Rahu Dasa Rahu Antardasa. Rahu is Atmakarak and Lord of Vimsamsa Lagna. Hence, its period will make native very religious. When even such Grahas like Rahu lead towards religiosity, how can native stray? Thus, when natural malefics become AK native automatically becomes religious, as there is negligible natural obstruction to this path. Sani another Lord of Vimsamsa (D-20) Lagna is in 5th Bhava with Chandr in a mercurial Rasi. This will give devotion for Sri Krishna. 1904 - started learning Sanskrit & in 1905, he was initiated by Kul Guru. Budh signifies learning of languages, while Guru rules Sanskrit. Sani gives traditional knowledge. page ~ 115 ~




These Grahas influencing 9th Bhava in Rasi Chart by placement, aspect or Argala (intervention) and placed in Trikonas, especially 1st or 5th in Navamsa will show learning and good knowledge of Sanskrit and traditional literature. Guru is Lagnesh in 9th Bhava having aspect of Rahu and conjoined Surya. It has Argala of a powerful exalted Budh in 2nd from 9th and Argala of an exalted Sani in 3rd from 9th Bhava. These 3 Grahas along with Mokshakarak Ketu are placed in 5th Bhava from Navamsa Lagna giving perfect knowledge of Sanskrit and ability & drive to translate / comment on such voluminous and Divine literature as Srimad Bhagavatam. Learning started in Rahu Dasa Guru Antardasa. In Chaturvimsamsa (D-24), Rahu is 9th Lord aspecting 9th Bhava as Guru is dispositor or Lagna Lord Budh and aspects it to show the beginning of education in Sanskrit. 1916 - began College at Scottish Churches & in 1920 passed B.A. examination but was disinclined to take the degree because of a new nationalistic fervor. Starting of higher education is seen from Chaturvimsamsa (D-24 chart) as well as Rasi & Navamsa. Rahu aspects 9th Lord Surya in 9th Bhava in Rasi chart to give higher education starting from Rahu Dasa Surya Antardasa in 1916. In Chaturvimsamsa, Rahu is 9th Lord aspecting 9th Bhava as well as Guru & Surya in 4th Bhava. However, Surya aspects Budh Lord of Lagna of D-24 chart thereby initiating higher education in its Antardasa. Guru is also Lord of 10th Bhava (i.e. 2nd from 9th Bhava and thereby kills or ends). With the advent of Guru Antardasa, Srila Prabhupada completed his education. As Lagnesh in 9th Bhava, Guru makes person very independent and it was natural that he felt strongly about independence of India. 1921 - first son born. 1924 - birth of daughter. In Saptamsa, 5th Lord ruling first child is Sukr exalted (male) in Meena (male) and conjoined Sani (female). Male factors dominate and a son was born in Guru Dasa (Lord of Meena having Argala on Lagna Lord Budh) Sani Antardasa (conjoining 5th Lord). Next issue is seen from 3rd Bhava from 5th, i.e. 7th Bhava. 7th Lord Guru conjoins Ketu to give a daughter in Budh Antardasa. 1954 - left his wife after she traded his precious Srimad Bhagavatam for tea. 1959 - September, accepted Sanyas from Keshav Maharaj in Mathura. This separation happened at the beginning of Budh Dasa. Natural benefics in 3rd & 6th Bhava from Arudha Lagna will give the time of Sanyas (renunciation). Budh in exaltation is in 6th Bhava from Arudha Lagna and will gradually lead native to renunciation. It is also in 8th from Upapada in Kumbha (Rahu) and conjoins debilitated Kalatrakarak Sukr. Both Budh and debilitated Sukr aspect 2nd from Upapada. Sanyas occurred in Budh Dasa Sukr Antardasa, as both Grahas are natural benefics in 6th Bhava from Arudha Lagna. In Vimsamsa, Budh is 5th Lord (prayers, Diksha etc.), Sukr is 9th Lord (Guru), and both are in debility (complete renunciation) and aspect 5th Bhava by Rasi Dristi. 1977 - November 14th - Moksha at about 07:25 pm. Short life combination has been altered due to Vipareeta Ayur Yoga as Atmakarak Rahu is in 3rd Bhava. This gives long life 72 - 108 years. Ketu in 7th Bhava from AK shows that native will pass away in first 1/3rd portion of longevity compartment. Since compartment is for 36 years, 1/3rd part is for 12 years from 72 - 84 years. This will give 2 Shoola Dasas 72 - 81 years in Kumbha and 81 - 84 years in Meena. The former has AK and will not kill while the latter has aspect of debilitated Sukr. This gives range 81 - 84 years. Now, 2nd Lord from Lagna is Sani and as per table [30] under para 9.10, Sani rules 82nd year. Srila Prabhupada departed for Vaikuntha (Heaven) in his 82nd year. Surya was in Thula defying standard rules and probably indicating that Srila actually attained Moksha. Lagna rising was Vrishabha, Rasi occupied by Lord of Arudha Lagna.

 Mrityupada: Vrishabha (A8)  Darapada: Kanya (A7) Chart 100 is horoscope of divine Mother and wife of Sri Ramakrishna Paramhamsa, Srimata Sarada. First noteworthy point in charts 100 & 101 is that Lagna Lord is also Atmakarak (God representative) and has Argala on Lagna. Thus, the couple were indeed Divine living a simple, austere life and teaching Dasa Maha Vidya. Arudha Lagna and Darapada (A7) are in the same Rasi Kanya showing good understanding and compatibility with spouse. However, Upapada (UL or A12) is in 8th Bhava from AL showing that couple did not have any physical contact. This is also confirmed by 7th Lord Sani becoming Darakarak. Thus, spouse will be very religious and will refrain from any form of physical contact. Yet couple had excellent understanding due to Darapada (A7) and AL (note: in all such cases where physical contact is denied, Lagna of spouse shall not be determined from Upapada as per standard rules. Instead, since Upapada is in 8th Bhava from AL, Lagna of spouse will be in 8th from Lagna, i.e. 8th from Karkataka. Lagna of Sri Ramakrishna Paramhamsa was Kumbha. This is another method to Lagna determination). When asked by her niece, Sharada Ma had replied that she represented Divine Mother Bagalamukhi11. In Das Mahavidya, Bagalashakti is mother of Mangal. In horoscope of Sarada Mata, Lagna Lord Chandr (Divine Mother) itself is Atmakarak and is conjoined Mangal showing her true nature as Adishakti Bagalamukhi. In Navamsa, Tapasya Yoga exists with Sukr in Simha (fiery Rasi) aspected by Sani from Kumbha and with Ketu in 5th Bhava. She performed powerful austerities and penances (by testing her concentration) by sitting in boiling summer heat with fire burning all around. Atmakarak Chandr is in 5th Bhava aspecting Lagna Lord Surya. Conjunction of Chandr & Budh gives Sarada Yoga or Krishna Yoga and in Trikonas to Sukr & Ketu this takes the form of knowledge of scriptures, texts, Mantras etc. Exaltation of Guru in 12th Bhava shows strong spiritual powers and renunciation as well as Sarada Math (a sister concern of Ramakrishna mission). In Vimsamsa also Karkataka rises with Chandr in exaltation in 11th Bhava. Shakti Yoga is exceedingly powerful. Budh, Rahu & Ketu in Trikonas aspected by exalted Chandr show her worship of Ganesha & Durga and later after meeting Sri Ramakrishna Paramhamsa, Kali (5th Lord Mangal conjoins Sani in 8th Bhava). Guru is seen from Bhratrukarak. Mangal as BK is also Lord of Upapada. Hence, her husband was her Guru.

Timing marriage 7th Bhava Makara is stronger than Lagna. Hence, it shall initiate Narayana Dasas. Antardasas shall begin from Vrishabha occupied by Sani Lord of Makara and shall be direct (due to Sani). Since Makara houses Sukr, Dasa can give marriage. Antardasa would be of Rasi with Ketu or influencing Upapada. Rasi Vrischika has Ketu in it and also aspects Upapada Mesha. Makara (Sukr) Dasa, Vrischika (Ketu) Antardasa is from 22nd December 1857 to 22nd August 1858 (5th year of age), and Sarada Mata was married to Sri Ramakrishna Paramhamsa when she was 4 years old (i.e. in her 5th year). Thus, timing of marriage with Narayana Dasa is very accurate. Since Sani is 7th Lord and Darakarak and is also placed in Kumbha in 7th Bhava in Navamsa (D-9) considerable age gap of about 17 years existed between the couple. However, she was to join her husband later after growing up. This would amount to "double marriage" with the same person and any Kalatra Dosha of Sukr in 7th Bhava was automatically remedied (an important remedial measure for Sukr in 7th Bhava is to have marriage twice with the same person. By this multiple marriages etc. are all avoided). Sri Ramakrishna was also Guru of Sarada Mata as Lord of Table 31 - Drig Dasa of Sarada Mata Upapada is also Bhratrukarak. Thus, her meeting with her spouse after growing up would amount to renunciation / Dasa Years Period Age Diksha Yoga with Guru. This can be timed by using Drig Min 3 Dec. 1853 - Dec. 1856 3 Dasa. Drig Dasas begin from 9th Bhava Meena and are Dha 12 Dec. 1856 - Dec. 1868 15 succeeded by 3 aspecting dual Rasis reckoned in reverse Kan (AL) 10 Dec. 1868 - Dec. 1878 25 direction as Meena is a Samapada (even-footed) Rasi. Renunciation (or Diksha) is seen from Arudha Lagna Drig Dasa. Arudha Lagna is in Kanya and Drig Dasa of Kanya is from 15th to 25th year (December 1868 to December 1878). In her late teens Sarada Mata left her parents home to live with her husband Sri Ramakrishna. Sani and Rahu in 2nd from Upapada and 9th Bhava from Arudha Lagna show difficulties she had to face before meeting him and finally being accepted by him after assurance that she will never be a hindrance to his penance and, instead, would be of service to him and temple. Affliction of Sani and Rahu to 2nd Bhava from Upapada does not promise a very long married life and death of spouse is seen from Shoola Dasas of Trikonas to Guru. Shoola Dasa of spouse always begins from 1st of 7th Bhava. 7th being stronger initiates Shoola Dasas from Makara. These Dasas will be regular and for a period of 9 years each. Guru is in Dhanur and Trikonas to this are 11

fiery Rasis. 8th Lord from Guru is Chandr placed in Simha (fiery Rasi). Shoola Dasa of Mesha was from 27th to 36th year. Sri Ramakrishna attained Nirvana (expired) on 16th of August 1886 when Sarada Mata was in her 33rd year and in Shoola Dasa of Mesha.

Longevity (A) Khand (a) Lg Lord + 8th Lord = fixed + dual = long life (b) Sa + Ch = fixed + fixed = short life (c) Lg + Hora Lg = movable + fixed = middle life Since all 3 terms are different, (c) shall give results and longevity compartment is 36 - 72 years. (B) Shoola Dasas begin from Makara and middle life would be from Vrishabha to Simha. Vrishabha with Sani & Rahu could have given death, but Simha with Chandr conjoined Mangal and aspected by Sukr (2 Rudra Yogas) is quite capable of giving death. Thus longevity is between 63 - 72 years. She left the body on 21st July 1920 at 01:30 am. Transit chart for Punya Tithi (moment of Nirvana - transit) is 100 a.

(C) Rath's rule (2) - Mrityupada (A8) is in Vrishabha and Vrischika its 7th Bhava is stronger due to Budh. Thus, Surya should be in watery Rasis. Surya was in Karkataka in transit on 21st July 1920 (this is a slight rule deviation as is seen in charts of saints alone). (D) Rath's rule (3) - Sammukha Rasi for Karkataka is Kumbha. There are no Grahas in 9th Bhava from either Lagna or Sammukha Rasi. However, Sammukha Rasi is stronger than Lagna (Kendra from AK), and 9th Lord from it (Sukr) will determine Tithi as Shasti (6) or Chaturdasi (14). She expired on Sukla Shasti (6) Tithi. (E) Rath's rule (4) - Arudha Lagna is in Kanya and Lagna at the time of demise was Vrishabha (Trikonas to Kanya).

Arudha Lagna is in Mithuna with Guru in it showing his image (Maya) in this world as a saint. A true renunciate shall have Rahu (representing desire) in 7th / 12th Bhava from AL. Rahu in 12th Bhava shows his complete renunciation and in Vrishabha, renunciation was of wealth (2nd Bhava of natural zodiac Vrishabha) and sex / passion (Sukr is Lord of Vrishabha). Perfect Brahmacharya Yoga exists. Further, just like chart 100, 7th Lord Surya becomes Darakarak showing a spiritual outlook towards marriage. Thus, charts 100 & 101 were divinely matched charts where Lagna Lord was also AK and 7th Lord was also DK. Upapada in both charts is in Mesha (note: since any contact was denied in marriage Lagna of spouse should be 11th Bhava or 6th Bhava because 11th Bhava is 6th from 6th Bhava. This is seen in the same manner as we did for chart 100 by counting from

AL to UL. Thus spouse can be in Karkataka or Dhanur Lagna. Sarada Ma was born in Karkataka Lagna). Navamsa Lagna has again got luminaries in Trikonas. Places of worship are 12th Bhava from Atmakarak and 6th Bhava from Atmatyakaraka. 12th from AK is Dhanur (Lagna / native himself) with Surya (Siva) in it. Thus native, i.e. Sri Ramakrishna himself will represent Siva and will be worshipped by the people. Atmatyakaraka Mangal is in Karkataka and 6th therefrom is again Dhanur, reconfirming our readings. 9th Bhava is Thula with exalted Sani in it. However, Sani is retrograde and in terms of worldly pleasures will give opposite results Pravrajya Yoga (renunciation) instead of Rajyoga (wealth and comfort). 9th Lord Sukr is exalted in 2nd Bhava, but is in debilitated Navamsa. This is again Pravrajya Yoga (i.e. Rajbhanga Yoga - native will not have material wealth, but will never be lacking in spiritual lustre as Sukr is exalted). Thus, fortune of 9th Bhava is poverty but spiritualism. In Vimsamsa, 9th Bhava is strongest Trikona with Chandr in it in Kumbha. He adored Divine Mother Kali. Since Sukr conjoins Chandr he even worshipped his wife Sarada Ma as personification of Divine Mother and could never touch her. Chart 101 a It is noteworthy that Sri Ramakrishna Paramhamsa had lccha Mrityu (i.e. left the body due to his own wish) on 16th August 1886 at 01:06 am (51st year). Transit chart 101 a gives planetary positions at the time of Nirvana. While death should normally have occurred in Dasa of Simha, it happened in Karkataka Shoola Dasa due to aspect of Budh (Rudra). Just like chart 92 of Swami Vivekananda, none of standard astrological rules work as saint has risen above the power of Grahas to control, i.e. he exercises self-control in its perfect / complete sense. Only rule that worked (as in chart 72) is Rath's rule (4) whereby Lagna rising at the time of death was natal Arudha Lagna.

Makara rises with a powerful Sani & Chandr conjunction in 2nd Bhava. This combination in 4th, 10th & 11th Bhava gives Rajyog and in 1st / 10th Bhava in Karkataka can give Maharaj Yoga. In other Trikonas it produces Kali Yoga (i.e. person has to face a lot of strife & hardship and by worshipping Maha Kali Rajyog results). In other Bhavas this can cause Prav Rajya Yoga. Sani is not only dispositor of Chandr, it is also strongest influence on Chandr in Bhava of wealth. This is a Pravrajya Yoga that will make native (Sani is Lagna Lord self) to renounce wealth and all possessions. Since this placement of Lagna and 7th Lords causing Sani - Chandra Yoga is also in 12th Bhava from Arudha Lagna, it will destroy all attachment to personal wealth. 8th Lord from Lagna (Surya) is in 7th Bhava showing poverty (personal). 8th Lord from Lagna / Arudha Lagna aspecting Lagna / AL or conjoining 7th Bhava from it gives poverty. Sukr Naisargika Karak for happiness and worldly comforts is in 8th Bhava - a combination seen in charts of many renunciates, monks (Sanyasis). Darapada (A7) is in 9th Bhava but its Lord Budh is in 6th Bhava (denial) with Ketu (renunciation / Moksha). Thus, native renounces physical page ~ 119 ~




contact with opposite sex in any form or manner. Upapada (UL) is in Simha in 8th Bhava, and in 6th Bhava from Arudha Lagna. Upapada has Yogakarak Sukr, but its Lord Surya is placed in 12th Bhava from it. Thus, any question of marriage in whatsoever form is ruled out. 2nd Lord from Upapada (Budh) is placed in 6th Bhava with Mokshakarak Ketu. This denies marriage bonds altogether. Deity to whom native shall have personal attainment is seen from Trikonas in Vimsamsa (D-20 t). Surya (Surya / Siva) and Guru (Guru / Siva) are in Trikonas to Vimsamsa Lagna showing personal attachment only to Siva. This will make native service oriented and he will do a lot of work for moral upliftment of masses (Siva worship makes a person open-hearted and Sani Chandra Yoga in Rasi chart makes a social worker). Atmakarak is Guru and it shall dominate affairs of native. In Rasi chart, Darakarak Rahu is very inimical to Atmakarak and is placed in 3rd Bhava from AK and 12th Bhava from Lagna, thus denying marriage. Being in Bhagyarudha Rahu destroys any desire for personal fortune as well. However, as Lord of Bhagyapada (A9) Guru gives fortune through renunciation. Readers may note that Navamsa Lagna rising is in 12th Bhava (place of worship) from Atmakarak Guru. Thus, native himself is revered and worshipped. This combination will be seen in charts of very big saints who will be worshipped during their lifetime and even after their Nirvana (e.g. Ramakrishna Paramhamsa, Swami Vivekananda etc.). Secondly, Lord of Navamsa Lagna itself is Atmakarak. However, it is not placed in Navamsa Lagna. Thus, native shall not be born in a royal family but will attain a very high status. Chandr is in 9th Bhava in debility in Navamsa (Rajbhang Neecha Yoga - renunciation) and aspects Karakamsa and Lord of Navamsa Lagna Guru. This gives a lot of popularity and Sri Jayendra Saraswati will be loved by many people. Dasamsa has a watery Rasi Vrischika rising, and Guru & Mangal are in mutual aspect in 6th - 12th axis. This Guru Mangala Yoga for a watery Rasi rising in Dasamsa (D-10) is a clear-cut combination for headship of Sri Kanchi Kamakoti Peetham (Sankaracharya Math at Kanchi). Conjunction of luminaries Surya & Chandr as 10th and 9th Lords respectively produces highest Dharma Karmadhipati Yoga. This conjunction in 5th Bhava (of authority, subordinate, followers etc.) gives divine power to remove evils and enlighten anybody / everybody. Conjunction of Mokshakarak Ketu with this Rajyoga in spiritual Rasi Meena speaks volumes about spiritual height of Sri Jayendra Saraswati. It is noteworthy that this powerful combination for enlightenment is in 12th Bhava (worship) from Atmakarak.

As shown in chart of Sri Vijayendra Saraswati (chart 77, Chapter X), renunciation is timed from Drig Dasas and Arudha Lagna. Drig Dasas always commence from 9th Bhava (Sloka 2.4.21 to Sloka 2.4.23 - Upadesa Sutras of Maharishi Jaimini). Thus, renunciation of Sri Jayendra Saraswati should be expected to have occurred during Drig Dasa of Arudha Lagna (Meena) during July 1950 to July 1955. Antardasa would be of 8th Bhava / Lord Surya that is Vargottama in Trikonas to AL. Surya is also Lord of Mantrarudha (A5) in Simha. Renunciation occurred in March 1954 in Meena Dasa Karkataka Antardasa. In Vimsottari this occurred just before the advent of Guru Dasa.

Timing headship Since it has been already shown (in Dasamsa especially) that Sri Jayendra Saraswati was destined to lead the highest seat of Hindu religion, i.e. Sankaracharya Math, timing of this headship can be done from Drig Dasa and Lagna. Timing can also be done from Narayana Dasa and Ghatika Lagna. Drig Dasa of Makara which is Lagna is from July 1991 to July 2002 and Sri Jayendra Saraswati has become Chart 103 head (Sankaracharya) of Math after Nirvana of his Guru. Next chart 103 is of his Jagad Guru. Chart 103 - male, Kanchi Jagad Guru Sri Chandrasekar Saraswati, born on 20th May 1894, 01:25 pm, 11 N 57, 79 E 32. Lg Ch Bu Sa R Ra

Both charts 102 and 103 have Bhagyapada (A9) in Dhanur showing their fate / fortune tied to Kanchi Sankaracharya Math. Chandr is debilitated in Vrischika as its dispositor Ketu joins Sani to generate a Pravrajya Yoga. Since Sani is Atmakarak and also aspects Chandr, renunciation is definite. Sukr is exalted in 8th Bhava showing complete suppression / renunciation of desire for contact with women (physical) as well as removing worldly desires. Chandr debilitated in Arudha Lagna is enough to cause renunciation. However, with Chandr in AL and Guru in 7th Bhava from it undying fame is promised in chart. Thus both Yogas for fame and renunciation co-exist. In Navamsa, Chandr is Vargottama* (very powerful to give results of its indications) and in Lagna with Surya in 5th Bhava. In chart 102 also luminaries are in Trikonas to Navamsa Lagna. Karakamsa is Kanya with Sani in it aspecting Navamsa Lagna. This links Navamsa Lagna and Karakamsa and 2 Grahas Chandr & Sani are Vargottama indicating complete renunciation. Sukr & Ketu in Trikonas to Karakamsa give a strong internal desire to perform very severe austerities and penance (Tapaswi Yoga) and can give great skill / knowledge in astrology. Aspect of Sani (AK) on Navamsa Lagna transforms internal desire for Tapasya (penance) / astrology into reality. Vimsamsa has Guru in 9th Bhava showing devotion to Guru / Lord Siva. 9th and 5th Lords (ruling Dharma and Mantra) are in 7th Bhava (Lord Siva) showing sincere practice of Dharmamantras of Lord Siva. Kuladevata is seen from 4th Lord as Siva Yoga is seen from 7th Lord. 4th & 7th Lord Budh conjoins Surya in 2nd Bhava. Shankaracharya belongs to a lineage of Saivites and has a strong Siva Yoga. In Dasamsa, a watery Rasi Meena rises with Surya & Budh in Lagna showing headship of Math. Both luminaries are in Trikonas (just like chart 102) and there is a powerful Guru - Mangal Yoga conjoined with 8th Lord (just like chart 102) showing that Dharmakarmadhipati Yoga, Guru - Mangal Yoga (with 8th Lord ruling renunciation) are features that will exist in charts of Shankaracharyas.

Timing of renunciation is best done from Drig Dasas. Drig Dasas begin from Mesha in 9th Bhava as shown in adjoining table. Dasa of Arudha Lagna can give renunciation provided Yogas exist.

in 7th from Arudha Lagna gives a powerful Rajyog as Rahu debilitated in 12th Bhava from Arudha Lagna gives both Rajyog (due debility in 12th Bhava) and a very saintly disposition (by placement in 7th / 12th Bhava from AL). Physical body is seen from Lagna and 9th Bhava has overall control over the legs. 9th Bhava Vrishabha is aspected by Sani, Sukr and Guru from moveable Rasis. Aspect of Sukr and Guru is very beneficial whereas that of Sani can damage legs. Sani is also dispositor of 3rd and 8th Lord Mangal. Atmakarak Budh (also Lagna Lord) is subject to a Papakartari Yoga between Sani on one side and Rahu & Surya on other. Shatrupeeda (pain on body due to enemies) because this also has Papargala on Lagna and Chandr. In Navamsa, the body part afflicted is seen from 4th Bhava from Chandr. Chandr is in Karkataka and 4th therefrom is Thula. With Navamsa Lagna in Kumbha, Thula is 9th Bhava ruling legs. This is again aspected by Sani and Sukr from Vrishabha. Aspect of Sani damages legs and causes Shatrupeeda whereas that of Sukr provides relief. In Trimsamsa (D-30) Sani is in 2nd Bhava (Marak) with Lagna Lord Sukr. It is Lord of 9th Bhava (legs). Since Chandr is in Lagna Trikonas, Vimsottari Dasa will apply very well in this chart. Dasa of Sani started on 8th January 1997 and Sani was transiting Meena 3rd from AL showing Rajyog continuation. However, from Meena Sani aspects Lagna & Chandr (Kanya), Rahu & Surya (Dhanur - secret enemies / plots) and 9th Bhava (Vrishabha - legs) by planetary sight. Bhagya Pada (A9) is also in Meena. During Sani Dasa Sani Antardasa in January 1998, he broke his right leg. It may be noted that except for Yogakarak Grahas, malefics placed in 10th Bhava from Arudha Lagna will not give excellent Yoga in their Antardasas.

 Arudha Lg: Kanya (AL)  Bhagyapada: Thula (A9) 9th Bhava shows independence and freedom that native enjoys. In Rasi chart, Lagna Lord in 9th Bhava makes native of independent views and spirit. In Dasamsa (D-10) this shows independent work like lawyers / other professionals or businessmen. In chart 105, 9th Bhava is a malefic Rasi Kumbha as 9th Lords Rahu and Sani are in Lagna in company of malefic 6th and 11th Lord Mangal. This is one of the worst combinations that can occur in a chart causing considerable confusion of ideas and extreme views. As such malefics owning 9th Bhava and placed in Lagna will make native so independent that he will transgress social limitations. Rahu shows actions that even benign god Guru will not forgive while Sani shows illegal activities being opposed to Surya. Mangal show violence and heinous crimes in conjunction with these malefic Grahas. Sani is also 8th Lord and Atmakarak and during its period will tend to punish native very severely by curtailing freedom and causing imprisonment. With the advent of Sani Antardasa in Rahu Dasa from 28th September 1997 native was sentenced to prison. However, even in prison, he was badly beaten up by other inmates (Mangal conjoins explosive Sani - Rahu conjunction) and hospitalized. If Sani transits Rasi occupied by Lord of Lagna, one is defeated in war / court cases etc. and suffers great humiliation. Sani transited Meena Rasi occupied by his Lagna Lord Budh between February 1996 and April 1998. In December 1997 - January 1998 during Rahu - Sani Dasa Antardasa, Sani was in Meena. This transit in 8th from Janma Rasi (natal Chandr) is also called Kantaka Sani (thorn in the foot, i.e. obstruction to 9th Bhava of fortune). Rahu transit was page ~ 122 ~

in Simha natal Chandr Rasi. Thus, beneficial results of 9th Lord should not be taken for granted and, under adverse placement, a malefic 9th Lord can be all the more malefic. In Navamsa, Rahu is in 8th Bhava, but position of Atmakarak Sani in 3rd Bhava (8th from 8th Bhava) with Mangal is all the more evil.

 Arudha Lg: Vrischika (AL)  Bhagyapada: Makara (A9) Chart 106 is of a famous singer Autumn Jackson. Arudha Lagna has Rahu in it and Sani in 8th Bhava generating a partial Kemadruma Yoga that will result in considerable loss of wealth and prestige. Kemadruma Yoga is caused by presence of malefics in 1st, 2nd and 8th Bhava from Lagna, Arudha Lagna and Navamsa Lagna. If present in Lagna, bitter poverty results throughout life while if present from Arudha Lagna, it causes a severe setback like downfall in business or reputation. Rahu in 5th Bhava can be most unpredictable giving Rajyoga at times and Duryoga at other times depending on beneficence of Guru w.r.t Antardasa Graha. Atmakarak Guru is 9th Lord ruling freedom and is placed in 8th Bhava showing obstruction to personal freedom. In Navamsa, Guru is ill placed in 3rd Bhava showing a severe setback. Conjunction of Navamsa Lagna Lord Sani with AK Guru and Chandr gives international fame, but conjunction of Atmakarak with Sani in 3rd Bhava can cause imprisonment / bondage as in previous chart 105. Rahu is also placed in 12th Bhava from Navamsa Lagna in Makara. Thus, Rahu Dasa Guru Antardasa gave excellent results. Rahu Dasa Sani Antardasa from April 1995 activated some very adverse combinations like partial Kemadruma Yoga in Arudha Lagna that gave loss of reputation and wealth in court cases and finally imprisonment due to conjunction of a debilitated Sani in Navamsa with AK in a Dusthana (January 1998). AK is Ista Devata in a chart and unless it is fortified in a Kendra or Trikona, adverse results would accrue. If Lagna Lord of Navamsa Lagna conjoins AK native rises in life. Note: Various cases on loss of parents have been illustrated in pages 186 - 194 and other parts of the book Maharishi Jaimini's Upadesa Sutras. These may be studied. 

10th Bhava deals with prosperity growth (significator Guru), Karma including all works, actions (significator Sani), professions & career (significator Budh), fame (significator Surya). It represents midheaven and plays a vital role in chart, second in importance only to Lagna. Low Astakavarga Bindu in this Bhava can considerably weaken a chart. All Grahas in 10th Bhava generally give very good results. Even Rahu gives pilgrimages if in 10th in natal chart or from Narayana Dasa Rasi. Bhava whose Lords are in 10th Bhava gain considerable strength and activities ruled by them succeed. 10th Bhava has Argala on 6th, 7th, 9th and 12th Bhava thereby directly affecting enemies, servants, fortune, and sleep that are ruled by these Bhavas and other matters as well. For example, Chanakya12 says that a king can never fall if his servants are faithful. If servants are faithful, 6th Bhava is favorable and enemies also ruled by 6th Bhava cannot win. This automatically affects status ruled by 10th Bhava. Similarly, success automatically brings more business and associates, besides keeping spouse happy. One's boss, Guru or lady luck ruled by 9th Bhava does matter in one's career. 12th Bhava rules final emancipation and meditation. Bad actions in 10th Bhava will reflect adversely on 12th Bhava and Moksha will be denied in the long term while sleep could be adversely hampered in the short term. A fine solution to this negative cycle would be to take up transcendental meditation (TM). 11th, 1st, 2nd, & 8th Bhava have Argala on 10th Bhava or are capable of affecting actions and other matters ruled by 10th Bhava. Thus gains, self, and net profit or loss will influence decisions and actions. If an exalted or strong natural benefic is in Lagna, native will 12

be guided by its ideals and this will have a strong impact on his decisions and action. In this manner, Argalas and their obstruction should be understood.

Connection of 9th Bhava with other Bhavas



5th Bhava is 8th from 10th Bhava representing birth (beginning) and longevity (time of implementation of an action (10th Bhava). Thus, 5th Bhava rules authority and power that one enjoys due to skills & knowledge as well as one's Purva Punya. Timing of joining a new job is done from 5th Bhava. Rajyogas also need to be confirmed in Panchamamsa (D-5) and Dasamsa (D-10). 11th Bhava from Lagna is "Hara" or end of life. Similarly 8th Bhava being 11th from 10th Bhava is place of retirement or end of career. 8th Bhava, if beneficially disposed, can give huge loans to take up large enterprises and its Argala on 7th and 10th Bhava can give a new boost to one's business. If ill disposed, one's business will run into endless debt and ruin. The following may be borne in mind while analyzing Dasamsa.

10.2.1.



Analyzing Dasamsa



Dasamsa should be analyzed in detail independently like Rasi chart. Artha13 Trikona is composed of 2nd, 6th & 10th Bhava. Grahas in these Bhavas will have a direct bearing on the functioning of native. Any Graha in 10th Bhava is independently capable of giving good Yoga that could mean power, rise and success in one's career. In addition, 7th Bhava should also be studied, as it is Pada to 10th. If Surya dominates in these Bhavas, a political career or similar public service is indicated. Mangal gives police, intelligence related activities, army etc. Guru produces lawyers, judges, priests, astrologers etc., Budh gives business, writing & publishing, trade etc., Sukr gives entertainment and all works of beauty while Sani gives burden, menial jobs etc. Rahu can indicate imports while Ketu shows exports etc. A list is provided at tables below.

10.2.2.



Service or business



6th Bhava rules service and 7th Bhava rules business. If there are more Grahas in 6th Bhava, or if is otherwise stronger, service is indicated. A stronger 7th Bhava gives a business enterprise. Similarly, 6th Bhava promotes service while 7th Lord promotes business. This could mean instability in service during period of 7th Lord. Similarly, debilitated malefic in 7th Bhava will encourage service and damage the business.

10.2.3.



Boss & subordinates



Boss is seen from 9th Bhava while subordinates are seen from 5th Bhava. During period of a malefic Graha having Papargala (malefic obstruction) on 9th Bhava, one is tormented by the boss (or ex-boss), while a benefic having Subhargala (benefic intervention) shall give a very good and helpful boss. Thus in charts showing any kind of employment, concerned Bhavas for the self are 1st, 6th & 10th. 3rd Bhava from these (3rd, 8th & 12th) can cause problems. 8th Bhava will show retirement, 3rd Bhava shows short leave, while 12th Bhava shows long leave.

10.2.4.



Lagna Lord in 9th Bhava



Lagna Lord in 9th Bhava makes a person very independent (he likes to be his own boss) and business is best advised in such charts or employment with a lot of scope for independent work. 2nd Bhava is 8th from 7th Bhava and shall play a crucial role in starting any business. In simpler words, starting of any business is determined by the finance available. Kendras to 2nd Bhava are 5th, 8th & 11th Bhava showing money that is put in by partner, loans from banks etc. & self respectively.

Grahas in 10th Bhava



Grahas in 10th Bhava generally always give good results. Surya and Mangal that get directional strength in 10th Bhava can be a great blessing in any chart providing dynamism and success. Surya indicates pride, respect, position, status, responsibility, independent views, and help from politicians and senior officers. Chandr shows fluctuation of fortunes and success in public dealings, water or liquids, emotional views and changeable of work etc. Sani indicates rapid rise and fall, hard work. Ketu indicates routine job. In this manner, standard texts provide considerable information on results of Grahas in 10th Bhava based on nature of Graha. Second basis is to see relationship of Graha on Bhavas it has Argala15 on. If Surya or Guru is in 10th Bhava, Argala on 9th Bhava is very favorable and will promote father, Guru and good fortune. This will simultaneously destroy evil effects of malefic Grahas in 9th Bhava. If Rahu or Sani is in 10th Bhava, it will have Papargala on 9th Bhava and father / Guru will have to suffer. Sani will cause many downturns in fortune and life will be a battle of sorts. However, Sani will have Subhargala on 12th Bhava of which it is a significator and the native could learn spiritual practices like Pranayama16 that will be very beneficial. Ketu in 10th Bhava will also have Papargala on 9th Bhava but it will have a Subhargala on 12th Bhava of final emancipation (Ketu is Mokshakarak). This will lead native into spiritual path and teach meditation etc. Malefic Grahas in 10th have Papargala on 6th Bhava and can destroy signification of 6th Bhava. For example, if Ketu is in 10th Bhava it could be very malefic for dogs and such pets, while Sani can create many enemies. Budh or Sukr in 10th Bhava can be a blessing for business. However, Ketu or Budh in 10th will make native very fickle-minded. Third basis is to consider Bhavas having Argala on Graha in 10th Bhava. Lagna has Subhargala (intervention for creating happiness) on 10th Bhava. If Graha in Lagna is friendly to Graha in 10th Bhava, then native has job satisfaction, and if inimical, there will be a lot of dissatisfaction. Thus Argala of Lagna on 10th Bhava can promote or damage the prospects of 10th Bhava because of personal desires and whims. 11th Bhava has Dhanargala (wealth intervention) on 10th Bhava. Thus, incentives like bonus can make a dent [?] on performance. For example, if Rahu is in 11th Bhava results of one's actions will come suddenly while Sani will delay the fruits. Retrograde Grahas can even deny the fruits of actions until they become direct in transit. 8th Bhava has Labhargala on 10th Bhava. Thus, it determines the end of a work or career. 11th Bhava from any Bhava has responsibility of finishing it. This has been aptly stated by Maharishi Jaimini in stanza "Tanou Tana Danda Hara17", meaning 6th is Bhava of punishment and 6th from 6th (11th Bhava) is the destroyer (Hara). There are neither real enemies nor any real diseases in this illusionary world. These are only means for Lord to punish us for our sins. People born on Shasta Tithi18 (6th day of waxing / waning lunar cycle) or during period of Grahas in 6th Bhava from Lagna or Dasa Rasi can suffer many problems due to enemies. Fasting on Shasta and worshipping Lord Shiva / Kartikeya is best means to take punishment on oneself. This will end the enmity. Similarly, people born on Ekadasi (11th day of lunar cycle) or during period of Grahas in 11th Bhava from Lagna or planetary Dasa Rasi, can suffer due to Shad Ripu (6 forms of weaknesses like non-vegetarian food, alcohol, sex, etc.). They should fast on Ekadasi days and worship Sri Maha Vishnu to overcome these weaknesses. Fourth point is to consider placement of Graha from various Bhavas. For Argala - Graha / Rasi intervention in 2nd, 4th, 5th & 11th Bhava. Pranayama - Yogic breathing and holding of breath in harmony with a Mantra. 17 Maharishi Jaimini's Upadesa Sutras 18 Tithi is Vedic lunar day extending by 12° of arc as reckoned from full Chandr. 15

example, Sani in 10th will be in 8th from 3rd Bhava and will give a long-lived younger co-born. It will also aspect 7th Bhava to promise a long life to spouse. There is a saying Brahma19 (Sani) gives life, Vishnu20 (Budh) gives wealth and all means of sustenance, and Shiva21 (Guru) gives marriage, children, Guru [teacher] and all blessings. Thus if Sani aspects any Bhava, it gives long life to that Bhava but if it conjoins a Bhava, its longevity is curtailed. Sani conjoining Lords of 1st, 10th & 8th Bhava can reduce longevity. Surya or Guru in 10th Bhava will be in 8th from 3rd and can destroy Dharma & fortune of younger brother because they are very inimical to 6th Bhava from their placement (Sarvartha Chintamani). It was for this very reason that horoscope of Srila Prabhupada (chart 99) had to be rectified.

10.4






Placement of 10th Lord will tend to carry effects of significators (Budh, Sani, Surya & Guru). Thus if 10th Lord is in Lagna, due to effects of Budh native will be fickle-minded, due to effects of Sani native will have ill-health in childhood (till 10 years - Maharishi Parasara), due to effects of Surya native will prefer to pursue an independent profession and due to effects of Guru native will have fame, status and honor. Good results of Simhasan22 Yoga (10th Lord in 1st / 2nd Bhava) will come after middle age as Grahas in 1st, 7th & 9th Bhava give their results in later life. Second basis is that 10th Lord shows direction of Karma and source of fortunes. If 10th Lord is in 2nd Bhava or associates with 2nd Lord, family business will be source of livelihood. If 10th Lord is afflicted, then family business will be disrupted and cause misfortune of native. Strength of Guru significator of family deity is a crucial factor. Since 2nd Bhava rules food, 10th Lord will also indicate business / profession related to hotel industry if significator Chandr also influences 10th Lord. If 10th Lord is in 3rd Bhava or associates with 3rd Lord, the job may involve constant travelling and short journeys especially if Sukr associates with 10th Lord or is in its Trikonas. Co-born (ruled by 3rd Bhava) will further the career of native. Third basis is to count the number of Rasis from 10th Bhava to 10th Lord and vice-versa. If 10th Lord is in 3rd Bhava it will be in 6th from 10th Bhava and the latter will be in 8th from it. This implies short-term (8th Bhava) service (6th Bhava) or contracts (3rd Bhava) that can be executed over a short period (8th Bhava). If 10th Lord is in 5th Bhava, it will be in 8th Rasi from 10th Bhava that will show research, occult studies and gambling or speculation. From 10th Lord, 10th Bhava would be 6th Rasi (Upachaya23) showing growth and achievement. It will also show service for the orphans, handicapped and old / sick people (8th Bhava effect). It should be borne in mind that natural benefics like Guru and Chandr if placed in 8th from their Rasi, could cause damage to the same while their involvement in Parivartan and other Yogas will modify negative results. Fourth basis is to consider placement of 10th Lord or 10th Bhava from Paka & Arudha Lagna. Paka Lagna is Rasi occupied by Lord of Lagna. If 10th Bhava or 10th Lord is in Badhak24 or Dusthana25 from Paka & Arudha Lagna, results are obstruction and destruction respectively.

10.5



Natural strength of Bhavas



Natural strength of Bhavas has been mentioned in books like Laghu Parasari etc. Kendras, in the rising order of 1st, 4th, 7th & 10th are stronger than Upachayas in the order 3rd, 6th & 11th (10th has been excluded as it is considered the strongest Kendra). Upachayas are stronger than Trikona 5th & 9th Bhava (Lagna is excluded in this as it is placed among Kendras). 2nd & 12th Bhava have no strength of their own and depend on other Bhava lordship of their owner. 8th Bhava is always evil and is never stronger than Lagna. Thus on the basis of lordship Grahas can be placed in the following ascending order of natural strength (influence) in chart: 2nd, 12th, 5th, 9th, 3rd, 6th, 11th, 8th, 1st, 4th, 7th & 10th Bhava Lord. It is evident that 10th Lord is the most influential Graha in chart as 10th Bhava is the most potent Bhava for any Graha to be placed. This fact should be borne in mind while analyzing Rajyoga and Duryoga, i.e. combinations for prosperity and penury.

10.5.1.



Kendradhipati Dosha



Kendradhipati Dosha or negative effect of the ownership of Kendras by benefics implies reduction in their beneficence. Benefic owner of a Kendra is still a benefic and does not become a malefic. Similarly, a malefic Graha owning a Kendra will not remain a malefic and that does not imply that malefic becomes a benefic. This loss of beneficence of a benefic Lord of Kendra is called Kendradhipati Dosha. This flaw is annulled if Graha is also well placed in a Kendra or Trikona. Similarly, a malefic Graha owning a Kendra sheds its maleficence may not occur fully. For example if Sani is Lord of 10th Bhava for Vrishabha Lagna, its placement in 12th Bhava in debility will give excellent results like power, position and a good career. If malefic is also Lord of a Trikona in addition to its ownership of a Kendra, then it becomes a Yogakaraka producing auspicious results.

10.5.2.



Yogakaraka



Yogakaraka means capability for producing auspicious results. Lord of Lagna is natural Yogakarak in any chart as 1st Bhava is a Kendra and a Trikona. Lords of Trikonas (5th & 9th Bhava) are important for wealth and sustenance while Brahma is Almighty God personified as Creator. Vishnu is Almighty God personified as Sustainer. 21 Shiva is Almighty God personified as Protector (and emancipation [and Destroyer]). Yama is god of death. 22 Simhasan means a throne and is seen in 1st / 10th Bhava. 23 Upachaya - Bhavas of growth, i.e. 3rd, 6th, 10th & 11th Bhava. 24 Badhak - Bhavas of obstruction. 11th for movable Rasi, 9th for fixed Rasi and 7th for dual Rasi is Bhava of obstruction or Badhak. Lord of this Bhava is Badhakesh. 25 Dusthana - lit. evil Bhava. 3rd, 6th, 8th & 12th Bhava are Dusthana. 3rd, 6th & 11th Bhava are Trika. 19

20

page ~ 127 ~




Lords of 4th, 7th & 10th contribute to happiness. 1st, 10th, 7th & 4th Bhava / Lords represent 4 Ayanas (goals of life) called Dharma, Artha, Kama, Moksha (readers may refer to Srimad Bhagavat Gita for a detailed explanation of these goals). Yoga has been loosely interpreted as union / association and in astrology, this implies conjunction, mutual aspect or exchange of Rasis. A weaker Yoga is caused by one Graha aspecting Bhava of other and vice-versa or by exchange of constellation called Sookshma Yoga. Association of Lord of a Kendra with Lord of Trikona results in Rajyoga producing auspicious results. Thus if 10th Lord associates with 9th Lord, Dharma Karmadhipati Yoga results. This is the highest Karma Yoga. Another form of this Yoga is association of Lord of 10th Bhava with Lord of 5th Bhava. Gyana Yoga (that leads to Moksha) is caused by association of Lord of 4th Bhava with Lord of a Trikona. This Yoga gives great learning and knowledge. Subha Yoga or good results are produced by placement of Lord of a Kendra in a Trikona. Dur Yoga or inauspicious results are produced by placement of Lord of a Kendra in a Dusthana (evil Bhava). However, Duryoga is modified if it associates with Lord of a Trikona. Rajabhanga Yoga is caused by association of Lord of a Kendra with Lord of a Dusthana in an evil Bhava. If instead, they associate in a Kendra, Vipareeta Rajyoga occurs. Vipareeta Rajyoga is also caused by association of Lords of 2 Dusthana in an evil Bhava. For example, if Vrishabha Lagna has Guru and Sukr in 6th Bhava, they are Lords of 8th and 6th Bhava (Dusthana) associating in an evil Bhava (6th Bhava) resulting in destruction of enemies and good prosperity. If Kanya Lagna has Mangal (3rd & 8th Lord), Budh (1st & 10th Lord) and Surya (12th Lord) in 10th Bhava in Mithuna, Vipareeta Rajyoga results during period of Mangal & Surya only. Mahapurush Yoga is caused by placement of a Graha in its own Rasi or in exaltation in a Kendra. The strength of luminaries is very vital for initiating Rajyogas and sustaining the same.

10.6



Position of Grahas from Chandr Rasi & Hora Lagna



Kalyana Verma26 emphasizes the importance of Grahas in 10th from Chandr Rasi and Hora Lagna. The mind is the controller of all actions and activity. Grahas in 10th Bhava from Chandr Rasi or Lord of 10th Bhava from Chandr Rasi will give considerable information about career and fortunes of native. Similarly, 10th Bhava from Hora Lagna should also be seen after studying 10th from Lagna. For example, if Mangal strongly influences 10th Bhava from Chandr by placement or lordship, native may travel to a distant land for his livelihood. If malefic Grahas are in 10th from Chandr, native could be a remover of evils like doctor (removes disease - Lagna), priest (leads to God - Surya) or astrologer (direction of life - Chandr) or in negative, one who will trouble and cheat others.

In chart 107, Chandr is in Kumbha and 10th Bhava from it (Vrischika) is unoccupied. 10th Lord is Mangal (residence away from hometown for livelihood) placed in 9th Bhava, confirming the residence in a distant place. Since it is in a dual Rasi, this will be within the region / Indian subcontinent and Mithuna could indicate Northern direction due to its Lord Budh. Since Mangal is also 7th Lord, it indicates love marriage with Sukr. 27th & 28th year are ruled by Mars27. In her 27th year when Surya transited Mithuna in 2nd week of July 1991, she left her hometown to join Government service in Delhi (Northern direction). In her 28th year on 29th August 1991, she married her colleague.

Grahas in 10th Bhava from Navamsa



Grahas in 10th Bhava from Navamsa or Karakamsa28 determine wealth. Malefic Grahas placed in 10th Bhava or aspecting 10th Bhava cause fluctuation of fortunes and losses, while benefic Grahas give stable fortune and wealth. Navamsa dispositor of 10th Lord of Rasi chart can make or mar the career depending on its placement and relationship with Lord of Lagna and 10th Bhava. If it is a malefic and highly inimical to Lord of 10th Bhava, then Dasa of 10th Lord will be very unfavorable, especially in sub-period of Navamsa dispositor. If dispositor is associated with a beneficial Sani or Lord of 6th Bhava, native has many attendants. Kalyan Verma29 adds that source of wealth is seen from signification of Graha / Lord of 10th Bhava. Surya indicates wealth from father, Chandr from mother, Mangal from enemies, Budh from friends, Guru from brothers, Sukr from ladies and Sani from servants. Details of results of Rasis and divisions in 10th Bhava as well as effect of individual and combination of Grahas can be studied from Saravali and other texts. If 10th Lord is in a fixed Navamsa, native may have a desk job and stability is indicated, if in a movable Navamsa, native will be moving around for his fortune. Dual Rasi in Navamsa gives mixed results.

Unemployment etc.



Unemployment, underemployment and loss of job are indicated by placement or association of Sani with 10th Bhava or 10th Lord. Contrarily, Guru indicates a good nature and virtuous actions. Debilitated Grahas in 10th or malefics in 10th in Navamsa also indicate unemployment or underemployment. In Dasamsa, 6th should have malefics for difficulties in service as benefics or strong Grahas related to 7th or 8th Bhava will tend to make him leave the service for a business. Ill fame is indicated by association of Mangal and Sani or other malefics with 10th Bhava or 10th Lord, or Papakartari Yoga on 10th Bhava / Lord or if 10th Lord is in a malefic Navamsa. There are various combinations in standard texts bearing on 10th Bhava that need a methodical study.

Navamsa Lagna is Vrischika with Budh and Sukr in Trikonas showing flexibility and an ability for critical analysis in her writing. This produces a good author. Dasamsa Lagna is Karkataka (Brahman - intellectual work) with Chandr and Budh in 2nd Bhava showing her personal desire (Chandr is Lagnesh and mind) for writing (Budh). Mangal (Yogakarak and 10th Lord) is with Sani 7th Lord (independent work) and 8th Lord in 6th Bhava (service) showing that she will get some authority (Mangal - 5th Lord) in her initial service and that she will be working independently. This indicates short contracts for writing columns, magazines etc. However, Chandr with Budh shows her books. Since this is in Simha aspected by 9th Lord Guru in 8th Bhava, she will work independently and earn much due to the popularity of the books. Sukr is again in Trikonas to Budh influencing nature of literature produced and in 10th Bhava promises grand success during its period. Arudha Lagna (AL) in Thula, a venusian Rasi with Ketu in it shows that she will be spiritual and will Chart 109 believe in Freudian theory that sex runs the world. While she has been writing for sometime, Dasa of Sukr has resulted in her great rise and popularity since 21st January 1988. Budh as Amatyakaraka (next Chara Karak after Atma) plays an important role in determining profession. It may also be noted that Dharma Karmadhipati Yoga has been weakened due to placement of 9th Lord Surya in a debilitated Navamsa in 12th from Navamsa Lagna. Thus although she may be attracted towards politics, the same will not be good for her. Secondly, Upapada is in Kumbha and 2nd Lord from it (Guru) is placed in a Dusthana both in Rasi and Navamsa. In Navamsa it is in debility. Thus, stability of marriage does not occur and 2 or more marriages are indicated (this has occurred).

Arudha Lagna is in a mercurial Rasi Mithuna with Sukr and Budh conjunction again indicating the same. Darapada (A7) is in Dhanur aspected again by Sukr, Budh to show manufacture of furniture. Lord of Darapada (business) is Guru conjoining Chandr in Vrischika indicating 2nd business of real-estate (Vrischika - Mangal) where factory buildings (4th Bhava with Chandr) are rented out. In Navamsa, Chandr is in 10th Bhava in Simha and has Parivartan Yoga with Surya, indicating management of business and support of father in initiating his profession. In Dasamsa (D10) Mesha is in Lagna with Budh and Rahu in 6th Bhava. Exalted Budh dominates Arthatrikona and in 6th Bhava should indicate service instead of business. However, there are 2 Grahas in 12th Bhava obstructing service. Surya so placed indicates inheritance (8th from Simha) from father and this will take away possibility of service. However, Budh with Rahu indicates furniture and small machinery / metal for the same like modern office chairs, cupboards etc. 10th Lord Sani is in 9th Bhava (independent work) and aspects 6th Bhava Budh to show his direct involvement in business. 9th Lord Guru in Lagna also points towards independent work / business. 7th Lord Sukr is in Mithuna aspected by Sani shows the type of business.

Sani is also in 10th Bhava in debility and gets cancellation of debility due to its dispositor Mangal being in a Kendra from Lagna. Rahu is unconjoined and unaspected, but it aspects Mangal whose results it will give. Arudha Lagna is in Mesha with Mangal and Sani clearly indicating his career as linked with sports (Sani) and fighting arts (Mangal) thereby producing a boxer. These Grahas also rule color of dress (blue or red) and Arudha Lagna - career is boxing. Rahu in Simha is in Badhak to Satrupada (A6 - enemy / competing boxer) and Muhammad Ali showed his skills from early childhood from Rahu Dasa. Guru is in 2nd from AL & A7 and 8th from A6 thereby clearly supporting his boxing. Thus, Muhammad All had a long boxing career that stretched through Rahu and Guru Dasas. Sani is Atmakarak and is Lord of Navamsa Lagna besides also aspecting Navamsa Lagna. This ensures Rajyoga, i.e. rise and success of a high order. In Dasamsa (D-10), Mangal is Lord of Lagna in 9th Bhava (independent work / contracts) with exalted Guru showing tremendous rise and fame during Guru Dasa. 10th Lord Surya is in 12th Bhava in debility (significator Sani - sports) aspected by Mangal (fighting arts) showing boxing. It maybe noted that in Dasamsa, Grahas in exaltation or in debility show success and good income. The greatest achievement in his boxing career was in 1978 (37th year - Sani). Rajya Pada (A10) rules titles and its Lord Sani conjoins Mangal (name "world"). Rajyapada in Makara with luminaries, Sukr and Budh show that the title will be won a number of times.

Normally Sani & Chandr conjunction should be in 4th, 10th or 11th Bhava to produce Rajyoga. Arudha Lagna is in Mithuna with Gajakesari and Sani / Chandr Yoga. The former produces a famous person. 10th Bhava has Surya and Budh in it showing high intelligence and a medical profession (Surya) as well as a passion for writing (Budh). Sukr and Ketu in Trikonas to Navamsa Lagna produce a brilliant astrologer capable of accurate calculations and critical analysis of charts. Aspect of Sani (added to the above combination) on Navamsa Lagna produces a Tapasvi (one who strives for Divine realization through a penance - here astrology was the method). While aspect of Sani as Atmakarak produces a famous / capable person, its ownership of malefic Bhavas from Lagna in Rasi chart brings in diseases like arthritis and gout. A natural benefic in 4th Bhava from Navamsa Lagna is very helpful for knowledge (5th Bhava) in astrology (8th Bhava) as 8th Bhava will be in 5th from this natural benefic. Nostradamus has 5th Lord of Rasi chart (D-1) Chandr placed in 4th Bhava in Navamsa. He used to adore Chandr and was kind-hearted. In Dasamsa (D-10), 10th Lord Sani is in Meena (hospitals / medical) with Rahu showing outstanding abilities as a doctor to handle dangerous diseases. Lagna (self) and 6th Lord (patient) Sukr is with Surya showing his admirable work and success in curing plague victims in many plagues that infected Provence (France) without bleeding the patient (Mangal is in 12th Bhava - does not prefer the knife). However, Chandr in 8th Bhava shows his deep desire for the occult studies as 8th Lord Guru in 10th Bhava produces an astrologer of rare skill. The greatest achievement of Nostradamus are his "Centuries" that are proving true day after day. Upapada is in Thula and 2nd Lord from it viz. Mangal is in debility in a watery Rasi (infectious water borne disease). His first wife, son and daughter died in one stroke in a plague and the fact that he could not save them caused considerable loss of reputation. In Dasamsa, Subhargala of Chandr (reputation) on 10th Bhava is obstructed by Mangal. Since Mangal in also in 9th Bhava (Guru) from Navamsa Lagna, around this time he also quarreled with his senior colleague (or Guru) Sealiger. He lived for 62 years 6 months and 7 days and died in 1566 in Kanya - Kumbha Shoola Dasa - Antardasa. Surya was in Mithuna (occupied by Lord of Mrityupada) during death. Chart 112

 Arudha Lg: Makara (AL)  Rajyapada: Mesha (A10)  Darapada: Vrischika (A7) Chart 112 is horoscope of Mr. T.N. Seshan an I.A.S. Officer in Government of India who later became the chief election commissioner (a constitutional post). 10th Bhava in Rasi chart is fiery Dhanur and 10th Lord Guru is placed in 6th Bhava (service) in Simha (Government). Conjunction of Mangal and Guru in Simha is a powerful Rajyoga (Dharma Karmadhipati Yoga) and Lakshmi Yoga (conjunction of Lords of 1st and 9th Bhava). In Dasamsa (D-10), Mangal is Lord of Lagna in 9th Bhava and Guru is 9th Lord in 11th (aspecting 5th Bhava Simha - authority / power). Seshan's career (service) started in Mangal Dasa and ended with Guru Dasa in 1991. Sani is Lord of Arudha Lagna and its placement in own Rasi in AL gives a Mahapurush Yoga. In Dasamsa Sani is 10th Lord placed in Lagna, indicating great power and authority as well as independent functioning. As indicated earlier, Grahas in debility in Dasamsa can give excellent results, and Sani debilitated in Mesha will give brilliant results. Thus, with the advent of Sani Bhukti in Sani Dasa from 1991, Seshan was elevated to the post of Chief Election Commissioner. However, Sani in Dasamsa Lagna makes native powerhungry as will be observed is many charts including Adolf Hitler. 5th Lord Surya in 10th Bhava indicates person (Rajiv Gandhi - Lagna Simha) who will be responsible for elevating him to the post of cabinet secretary and later as chief election commissioner. Debilitated Sani aspects Surya and being very inimical to Surya, during its period influenced Seshan to come down heavily on all politicians irrespective of their party or linkages. He introduced system of electoral identity cards and various other electoral reforms that reinforced the faith of the public (Chandr in 5th Bhava) in electoral process. With the advent of Budh Antardasa from 1994, Budh being 6th Lord (enemies) in Dasamsa, placed in 5th Bhava (authority) the aggrieved politicians, cutting across party lines wanted his wings clipped and his authority diluted. 6th Lord in 5th Bhava reduces / damages authority. The visible opposition (not true opposition) comes from 7th Lord in Dasamsa. 7th Lord Sukr conjoins Guru in Kumbha showing two people (Sukr - Mr. Krishnamurti, Guru - Mr. Gill). Budh rules 5th Bhava from both Guru and Sukr and hence during Sani Dasa - Budh Antardasa, these 2 officers were also appointed as election commissioners with equal powers with the CEC. Budh had his way and Seshan gradually lost power. Ketu is in 8th Bhava in Dasamsa showing retirement etc. Ketu Antardasa in Sani Dasa is invariably bad and his attempt at politics between March 1997 to April 1998 have been quite fruitless. Chandr signifying bureaucracy is 5th Lord (authority) in Rasi chart, placed in 10th Bhava (profession). In Navamsa, it is in Lagna showing public service, especially as the Atmatyakaraka, and is placed in 5th Bhava (authority) in Dasamsa as 4th Lord (home state). Seshan belonged to Tamil Nadu cadre (home state) of Indian Administrative Service. It may be noted that Surya is Atmakarak placed in Dhanur Navamsa representing saints like Swami Vivekananda and that Navamsa Lagna of Seshan is in 12th Bhava (worship) from Atmakarak making him a very religious and spiritual person. Timing of Rajyoga should be done from Bhava placement of Grahas concerned. If Grahas are in 2nd, 4th, 10th or 13th Bhava, Rajyoga functions in early life. If Grahas are in 1st, 7th, 3rd or 9th Bhava Rajyoga functions in late life and if in other Bhavas Rajyoga is in middle age. Seshan has Atmakarak Surya and Budh in 2nd Bhava from Lagna and 4th Bhava from Arudha Lagna showing Rajyoga in the form of powerful Government service in India (Surya is 6th Lord service, Budh is 4th Lord - home). Dharmakarmadhipati Rajyog is in 6th Bhava showing great power and authority in his middle age. Profession choice between service or business is seen in 6th and 7th Bhava in Dasamsa. Both are unconjoined and 6th Lord Budh (service) is in 5th Bhava (authority) with Chandr (bureaucracy) in a Rasi Simha owned by Atmakarak. 7th Lord Sukr conjoins Guru, but is in Badhak Sthana from Lagna. From Lagnesh Mangal, Budh is in a Trikona while Sukr is in a Dusthana. Thus, the professional choice was Chart 113 Government service.

 Arudha Lg: Dhanur (AL)  Rajyapada: Meena (A10)  Hora Lg: Meena (HL)  Ghatika Lg: Simha (GL) Horoscope of Dr. Murli Manohar Joshi (chart 113) has 10th Lord Mangal exalted in 12th Bhava with Lords of Lagna (Sani), 4th & 9th (Sukr) and Rahu. The strength of 10th Lord and its conjunction with Lagna Lord (also strong in own Rasi) shows independent views while its conjunction with Sukr results in Dharmakarmadhipati Yoga. Natives born in this Yoga will be god-fearing, truthful and very industrious. Sukr is also 10th Lord from Chandr Rasi. Arudha Lagna is in Dhanur and its Lord Guru, a natural benefic is placed in 10th Bhava (throne / Rajya) from it. Lagna (self / position) and Ghatika Lagna (power / authority) are in Samasaptaka while Hora Lagna (wealth) is divorced from them. This shows that native can never be motivated by wealth to compromise or misuse his position and authority. Such honesty is a rare phenomena in politics of developing nations and its occurrence in horoscope of a present day politician shows that India is in threshold of a new phase where its high spiritual ideal of truth (Om Tat Sat or Satyameva Jayate) will find a strong place in the body politic. Surya and Budh in Arudha Lagna show him as a politician and a teacher. He is a very learned man and has spent his life teaching physics at university. Politics is his passion (Surya is 7th Lord from Lagna). He is well versed in a number of branches of learning including traditional studies (Guru in Trikonas to Navamsa Lagna). Mangal in 5th from Navamsa Lagna makes him bellicose while Sukr in Trikonas makes him a patriot. Inner strength of a chart is known by placement of Lords of Kendras, Trikonas and beneficial Bhavas of Rasi chart in Kendras / Trikonas from Navamsa Lagna (D-9). Simultaneously Lords of malefic Bhavas of D-1 (Rasi) should be placed in Dusthanas in Navamsa. In chart 113, all Grahas are placed in Kendras / Trikonas from Navamsa Lagna except Chandr which owns 6th Bhava in Rasi chart and its placement in 6th from Navamsa Lagna leads to defeat of enemies. Sukr is Atmakarak that is aspected by Lord of Navamsa Lagna Sani. Grahas Rahu and Guru conjoining it in Navamsa will lead to Rajyoga. In Dasamsa Rahu is placed in 12th Bhava showing that he is a very straightforward person but may suffer due to intrigues of others during Rahu Dasa August 1979 to August 1997. Chandr is placed in 5th Bhava indicating defeat of Rahu and bringing power and authority for him. 5th Lord Sukr in Lagna also ensures power and indicates his deep patriotic fervor. Thus, during Rahu Dasa, Chandr Antardasa, Sukr Pratyantar Dasa he became the Home Minister of India for a brief period of a fortnight. Since Dasa was of Rahu, Rajyoga did not last long. Mangal is Lord of evil 6th and 11th Bhava and is placed in 8th Bhava showing retirement / political wilderness. During Rahu Dasa Mangal Antardasa (July 1996 to August 1997) he was in the doldrums as due to machinations of his enemies, he gradually slipped from power. Guru is 7th and 10th Lord and its placement in 9th Bhava is a clear-cut Rajyoga. With the advent of Guru Dasa, his fiery fighting nature of Rahu Dasa underwent a transformation whereby his wisdom has come to the fore and BJP (party) has found great acceptance among masses and intelligentsia alike. Party / organization is seen from 10th Bhava in Dasamsa. Meena in 10th Bhava represents lotus (Guru) symbol of BJP, that is destined to bloom from Guru Antardasa till Chandr Antardasa in Guru Mahadasa. Professional determination is done from Arthatrikona in Dasamsa and Ketu in 6th shows service as a professor teaching mathematics / physics while Surya in 2nd Bhava shows politics. Coming to transits, transit of Sani in 8th from natal Chandr is called Kantaka Sani (thorn in the leg) and Dr. Joshi had some problems in the leg. Its transit of Rajyapada (A10) results in loss / renunciation of title / position and its aspect on Arudha Lagna (AL Dhanur) from Meena is bad for one's image. This transit is between February 1996 to April 1998. However, Guru transits Arudha Lagna Dhanur in 1996 thereby resulting in a great victory that could not be sustained. Year 1997 was difficult as Guru transited natal Rahu and Sani was free to wreck havoc on both Arudha Lagna and Rajya Pada resulting in loss of health (Guru transit), image / power (Sani aspecting AL) and status / position (Sani on A10). Since Dasa was favorable, the party gained in spite of all odds. Guru in 9th Bhava in Dasamsa shows that Dr. Joshi will be completely faithful to his political mentors and Gurus while Rahu as 9th Lord in 12th Bhava shows that some people will try their level best to create differences between him and his leader. Fortunately Dasa of Guru has just started from August 1997 and with Sani moving out of Rajyapada in April 1998 as Guru moves into Meena (A10) in June 1998 better days lie ahead. Conjunction of 4 Grahas in a Rasi other than a Kendra does not give Pravrajya Yoga. However it brings native into close association with saints and Sanyasis whose blessing will be of great value during Guru Dasa.

Every Graha in chart contributes to Rajyoga starting with Grahamalika Yoga from Lagna (self) to 5th Bhava (power, authority) involving 7 Grahas in 5 continuous Rasis. The starting point and terminal Rasi of Grahamalika Yoga indicates method / purpose for the beginning and fruits respectively. Lagna as starting point indicates establishment of "self" or Rajyog and 5th Bhava as the terminal Bhava with 5th co-Lord Rahu in it shows final result - crowned with success. Mutual aspect between Chandr (10th Lord) and Budh (9th Lord) results in a Dharmakarmadhipati Yoga (the most powerful Rajyog). Since Budh is also dispositor of Chandr (Subhapati) it leads the mind in direction of true spiritualism and since this Yoga occurs in 3rd & 9th Bhava, it will fructify in later life. This found expression in his toleration of views and his encouragement of all kinds of beliefs and opinions culminating in the founding of a synthetic faith that culled out best practices of all religions in Budh Dasa. Chandr and Budh are within 3° aspect. 3 very powerful Mahapurush Yogas caused by exaltation of Mangal (Ruchak), Sani (Sasa) and own Rasi placement of Sukr (Malavya) in Kendras to Lagna made Akbar a towering personality. While Mangal made him daring and reckless and a most able general, Sani brought him passionately loyal followers who would rekindle the dream of a politically united India. Sukr made him attractive, gentle and compassionate. Jawaharlal Nehru31 observes "those compelling eyes of his were vibrant like the sea in sunshine... In him the old dream of a united Indian again took shape, united not only politically in one state but organically fused into one people".

Jaimini's difficult Rajyogas Conditions for Rajyoga cited in Upadesa Sutras are stringent and easily help us to differentiate between various grades of horoscopes in the matter of status, power and authority. Yoga and results are very specific. (a) Association of Lords of 1st and 5th Bhava is a Rajyoga that gives power and authority. Lagna Lord Sukr and 5th Lord Sani conjoin in Lagna in great strength (also forming 2 Mahapurush Yogas). This implies personal authority and undying fame. It gives many followers and subordinates. (b) Association of Atmakarak and Putrakaraka (5th Charakarak) is a Rajyoga. Atmakarak Sukr and Putrakaraka Rahu are in mutual aspect in Thula and Kumbha as these Rasis aspect each other. This gives passionate followers and a powerful Rajyoga as his orders are willingly obeyed and he is loved by his subjects. (c) Equal number of powerful Grahas in 2nd and 4th Bhava constitutes a Rajyoga. Graha in 2nd Bhava has Dhanargala on Lagna while 4th Bhava has Subhargala on Lagna. Since 2nd and 4th Bhava are involved, Rajyoga functions in early life. Chart has 11th Lord Surya in 2nd Bhava which is natural harbinger of Rajyogas and Mangal (exalted) in 4th Bhava which is natural significator of lands and also 2nd Lord. Thus, Rajyoga would function in early life and would come through conquest and war. Narayana (Padakrama) Dasas begin from Thula and Vrischika 2nd Bhava having Surya and aspected by its exalted Lord Mangal is for 3 years from the 13th to 15th year (1554 A.D. - 1557 A.D.). Akbar reconquered Delhi and established the Moghul empire in 1556 A.D. Lagna, Surya & Mangal are all in 24th degree. (d) Grahas associating with Lagna, Hora Lagna and Ghatika Lagna or their 7th Bhavas are Yogada (harbinger of Rajyoga). Sani, Sukr and Guru are in Lagna, 7th from Ghatika Lagna and aspect Hora Lagna. Rahu and Ketu are in 30 31

Hora Lagna / 7th Bhava from HL and aspect Lagna and Ghatika Lagna. Thus 5 clear Yogadas obtain in Rasi chart. Mangal owns 7th from Lagna, disposits Ghatika Lagna and aspects Hora Lagna. (e) Sukr and Ketu in 2nd give many vehicles while Sani with Ketu gives many elephants. These Grahas placed in 2nd from Navamsa Lagna gave him all paraphernalia associated with royalty and Sani gave him a fondness for his elephants (especially in association with Guru in Rasi chart). (f) Karakamsa associating with Navamsa Lagna is a Rajyog. Sukr is Atmakarak in Akbar's chart and is Lord of Lagna in Rasi, Navamsa and Dasamsa as well. It is also placed in Drekkana Lagna. Akbar was born in a royal family and became emperor of India till his death in Budh Dasa Guru Antardasa. His personality was attractive and fantastic. He established a united India that stretched from Bengal in East to Gujarat in West and from Hindukush in North to Godavari in South. He had such gems like Raja Birbal & Abdul Fazl to promote justice and literature and such faithful and able generals like Raja Man Singh to consolidate his conquests and bring Indian sub-continent under his banner.

She is regarded as founder of modern nursing. Chandr is natural significator for nursing, and is placed in Navamsa Lagna in Makara. Lord of Navamsa Lagna Sani is in 12th Bhava (hospitals / resting place for the sick / wounded) with Mangal (soldiers). In Rasi (D-1) chart, 9th Lord Sukr is in 10th Bhava showing her attitude of treating her work as her prayer. Budh associating with Chandr indicates medicine. In Rasi chart, Sukr is dispositor of exalted Chandr in 9th Bhava as Budh is 10th Lord (work) in 8th Bhava (disease) in Mesha (soldiers / war). In Navamsa, Chandr in Lagna is aspected by Budh and Atmakarak Guru from Vrishabha (Rasi Dristi). While aspect of Budh shows medicine and nursing, aspect of benign Atmakarak Guru indicates remarkable achievements in life. Guru or Chandr in strength in 1st / 7th Bhava brings fame. In chart 115, Chandr is exalted in 7th from Arudha Lagna with Surya. Position of luminaries shows her divine and caring work and her fame due to the same. Exchange of Rasis between 6th and 7th Lords also brings one into constant contact with distressed and diseased people thereby also indicating nursing. It may be noted that Rasi Meena ruling hospitals, nursing etc. is involved, especially when Sani as Lord of Darapada (A7 - one's business) and Rajyapada (A10 - Karma / place of action) is placed in Meena. Rahu as Atmatyakaraka, placed in Meena in Rasi and Kanya in Navamsa indicates the same, but makes the job very challenging and dangerous in conjunction with Sani. Dasamsa has Rahu in 10th Bhava in Kumbha as 10th Lord Sani is in 12th Bhava (hospitals / resting places) in Mesha (soldiers / war). Guru in 6th Bhava is 8th Lord (disease). Thus, main Grahas involved in Arthatrikona show nursing of sick / wounded people. Sukr as Lagna Lord in 7th Bhava shows travelling in connection with work to martian (war) areas (Vrischika). Lagna with Budh in it aspected by Chandr shows considerable knowledge of medicine as Budh is 5th Lord and Chandr - Budh association shows medicine. Since Chandr is in 9th Bhava with Surya as aspected by Budh, this knowledge would come by working with learned doctors. page ~ 135 ~

 Arudha Lg: Kanya (AL)  Rajyapada: Dhanur (A10)  Rogapada: Kanya (A8) Chart 116 is horoscope of the greatest music composer Ludwig Van Beethoven (1770 - 1827). Determined venusian Rasi Vrishabha is in Lagna with Atmakarak Chandr in 7th Bhava indicating a Yoga for fame and success. This is further confirmed from Atmakarak Chandr in Navamsa Lagna that gives great literary skills and abilities associated with singing or music. Chandr is involved in a Parivartan Yoga with exalted Guru involving 1st and 5th Bhava (Rajyoga) which produced extraordinary genius (Guru) in music / symphony composing (Chandr & AK). Guru is also 10th Lord of Navamsa Lagna in exaltation. 10th Bhava in Rasi chart is airy Rasi Kumbha (symbolizing ears) as its Lords Rahu and Sani are in watery Rasi (intellectual profession) with Chandr (mind, music) or its Rasi. Sukr aspecting Lagna and AK (Rasi Dristi) brings harmony to symphonies and other music composed. Rajyapada (A10) that brings honors and accolades due to one's good work (or otherwise if afflicted) is in Dhanur conjoined its Lord Guru, 4th Lord Surya and 2nd & 5th Lord Budh. This conjunction of Lords of 2nd, 4th and 11th Bhava is called Parijatha Yoga (celestial tree Kalpavriksha32) and occurring in Rajyapada, it shows that native will produce brilliant symphonies that will make him an all time legend. Dhanur is also 8th Bhava and Guru is Table 36 - Beethoven - Narayana Dasa also 8th Lord of disease / disability besides being 11th Lord Dasa Years Period Age (ears). Narayana Dasa of Dhanur was from 1811 to 1823 during Vrk 7 Dec. 1770 - Dec. 1777 7 which Beethoven produced his greatest symphonies. He also became deaf in 1819 in his 49th year. 8th Lord Guru is called Mit 6 1777 - 1783 13 Rudra and its Trikonas are called Shoola (trident). Shoola Mak 6 1783 - 1789 19 Dasas of Beethoven start from 7th Bhava Vrischika and he Sim 8 1789 - 1797 27 became deaf in 1819 in Shoola Dasa - Antardasa of Mesha Min 3 1797 - 1800 30 Simha. These Rasis are in Trikonas to 8th Bhava, 8th Lord Thu 3 1800 - 1803 33 Guru and 8th from Arudha Lagna. He died in his 57th year Vrb 8 1803 - 1811 41 (1827) in Shoola Dasa - Antardasa of Vrishabha - Kumbha. Dha 12 1811 1823 53 (Note: Madhya Ayus Yoga - Shoola Khanda is from Meena to Kar 7 1823 1830 60 Mithuna. Meena and Mithuna are aspected by Guru and Mesha is aspected by Atmakarak Chandr thereby leaving Vrishabha (in Trikonas to AL) to inflict death). The remarkable part of Beethoven is that in spite of becoming deaf, he continued to compose and his 9 symphonies are ranked as the greatest ever written. Who else but a determined Vrishabha with its Lord Sukr in 9th Bhava (fiercely independent and determined) could have continued to produce masterpieces after such a debacle? In Dasamsa 10th Bhava is a jupiterian Rasi Dhanur (genius at work) with its Lord conjoining Chandr (music, mind) in 2nd Bhava to show that composing of poetry / music would be his life objective. Budh in 10th Bhava gives excellent writing & skills and the pen shall not be put down in spite of all obstacles. Sukr and Sani in 9th Bhava show that composition will have perfect harmony and metre (Sukr) that will be beyond the best of critics to show a flaw while Sani brings a deep sorrow / melancholia into at least one symphony. It is rumored that one of his symphonies is not under mass production as it has caused a few very emotional people to get depressed and end their lives! Such Kalpavriksha is symbolic wish-fulfilling celestial tree of lndra, God of gods. It implies a lifetime achievement if occurring in Rajyapada and such places. 32

powerful emotions can only be produced by Atmakarak Chandr in Navamsa Lagna (ability to strongly impress the minds of listeners) while Sukr in Darapada shows the kind of joy / sorrow (in Makara) that audience feels. Vimsottari Dasa can also be used effectively to time events. In Dasamsa, Chandr conjoins 10th Lord Guru in Arthatrikona, Mangal is a Yogakarak and aspects Budh in 10th Bhava, Rahu as 12th Lord is well placed in 6th Bhava and aspects Budh in 10th Bhava and Guru & Chandr in 2nd Bhava. Thus, throughout Dasas of Chandr, Mangal and Rahu, in spite of all obstacles, this pen (symbolized by Budh in Dhanur in 10th Bhava) produced the greatest symphonies. From Lagna (Rasi chart), Mangal is Lord of 7th & 12th Bhava and is placed in 2nd Bhava. It will not hesitate to do evil especially as it is 8th Bhava from Navamsa Lagna. It aspects Arudha Lagna and 8th (disease) and 11th (ears) Lord Guru placed in 8th Bhava. Guru is also placed in 7th Bhava from Lagna and 6th from Navamsa Lagna. Guru is placed in 2nd from Rahu in Rasi chart and 12th from Rahu in Navamsa chart. Beethoven died in 1827 in Rahu Dasa Guru Antardasa. The strength of influence of a Graha is seen not only from divisional charts, but also from its aspect with Lagna. Sukr is in perfect Trikona to Vrishabha Lagna to produce such a genius artist.

 Arudha Lg: Kanya (AL)  Rajyapada: Dhanur (A10)  Rogapada: Kanya (A8) Sukr is natural significator for beauty. In chart 117 of Susmita Sen, 10th Lord Surya is placed in Lagna showing success, name and fame in the year ruled by Surya (21st / 22nd). Mutual aspect between Surya and exalted 9th Lord Chandr results in a Dharmakarmadhipati Yoga (highest Rajyoga). Chandr in 7th Bhava is, by itself, a combination for fame and success. 10th Bhava is Simha a fiery Rasi showing success in professions involving 'light' and cameras. Subhargala of Sukr in 2nd from it is partly obstructed by Sani in 12th from it. Similarly, Papargala of Mangal in 11th from it showing failure in attempts and retirement etc., is obstructed by Rahu and Budh in 3rd from it. Rahu is also 10th Lord from Chandr Rasi and is placed in Thula, venusian Rasi showing success in a career related to beauty. Its conjunction with Atmakarak Budh guarantees success especially due to "Vach" or spoken word. Sumita's success is largely attributed to her brilliant replies in beauty pageants. Rahu is also placed in 10th Bhava from Arudha Lagna with Budh. Benefics in 10th Bhava from AL do give good results. Thus Rahu shall give results of Budh natural benefic in 10th from AL showing success while Budh shall give results of Rahu. Chandr and Budh in Trikonas to Navamsa Lagna make one very sexy and give a lot of sex appeal. This is suitable for such professions as modeling. Exalted Rahu again conjoins Budh and aspects Chandr in Trikonas to Navamsa Lagna to indicate results of these Grahas in its Dasa as it aspects Surya in 10th Bhava from Navamsa Lagna to give success and a great fortune. Titles / honors are seen from Rajyapada (A10). Rajyapada is in Vrischika with Guru (Brihaspati - Lord of "Universe") in Trikonas in Meena. Thus, the highest title that she won was Miss Universe as indicated by Guru in 5th from Rajyapada. Arudha Lagna and Darapada (A7) are in one Rasi in Makara resulting in Srimantah Yoga. Strength / status in seen from Lord of this Rasi and Sani placed in Karkataka can give a Rajyoga of highest order. Crowning moment as Miss Universe was in Narayana Padakrama Dasa of Karkataka and Makara Antardasa in 1996. Vimsottari Dasa Antardasa was Rahu - Rahu. In addition to its Rajyoga giving potential from Rasi and Navamsa, Rahu is 5th Lord of Dasamsa chart placed in 10th Bhava with Surya (initiator of Rajyoga) with Rahu - Rahu Dasa - Antardasa (9 July 1995 to 21st March 1998). Real Rajyoga started in 21st year of life and Susmita was catapulted to worldwide fame, honored by page ~ 137 ~




President of India and premiers of various nations across the globe. She received a large prize money and many gifts that made her rich. During this phase, she even made her debut in movies. Other significant Yoga is Grahamalika Yoga from 5th to 9th Bhava. It may be noted that Narayana Dasa of Karkataka with Sani Lord of AL & AL in it having aspect of 9th Lord Chandr and 10th Lord Surya clearly indicates Rajyoga. Rasi is also in Kendras to AL & A7, and Trikonas to Rajyapada (A10) and the title (Guru in Meena).

 Arudha Lg: Makara (AL)  Rajyapada: Mesha (A10)  Darapada: Vrischika (A7) Chart 118 has only Guru in Trikonas to Lagna in Rasi chart and Guru and Sukr in Trikonas to Navamsa Lagna. This Jaya Yoga makes Aiswarya Rai a very beautiful and attractive woman. In a beauty pageant, other competitors should be treated as colleagues / competitors and not as enemies. Thus, Darapada (A7) shows competition instead of Shatrupada (A6). Darapada of Aiswarya Rai is in Vrischika, showing that Lagna of her colleague / competitor as Vrischika (Susmita Sen, chart 117, her chief competitor is born in Vrischika Lagna). Similarly, Darapada of Susmita Sen (chart 117) is Makara showing that Lagna of her chief competitor Aiswarya Rai to be an earthy Rasi Kanya (Trikonas to Makara).

Title Rajyapada (A10) is in Mesha with Mangal (Lord of earth / world) in it. Thus, she was destined to win Miss World title. Unfortunately Guru is not in Trikonas to Rajyapada and hence, Miss Universe title never came to her. It may be noted that both Susmita Sen (chart 117) and Aishwarya Rai won their titles when Sani transited 3rd Bhava from Arudha Lagna. Women with a strong Guru will be shy to shed their clothes in front of an audience. In both charts 117 & 118, Guru is debilitated either in Rasi or Navamsa and such hesitation will not be seen in successful models. Budh, 10th Lord from Lagna as well as Chandr Rasi is placed in Darapada showing that natural choice of profession will be related to Sukr (Karaka for Darapada). 10th Bhava from Dasamsa Lagna is owned by Sukr that conjoins Guru in 5th (Trikona) Bhava from Lagna bringing profession, beauty and body into the picture. Mangal in 10th Bhava in Dasamsa promises a very bright future in Mangal Dasa from June 2000. 10th Bhava in both Rasi and Navamsa is strong. In Rasi, it is conjoined Sani and Ketu (in debility) aspected by Sukr, Chandr and Rahu (debilitated). Debilitated nodes in Kendras give Rajyoga while combination of Lords of 2nd, 9th and 11th Bhava in a Kendra, aspecting 10th Bhava is a powerful Rajyoga that started in Chandr Dasa Budh Antardasa when she won Miss World title. Sukr Antardasa in Chandr Dasa in 1998 & 1999 will be very promising and she will be very successful as an actress in Hindi movies. Malefics, exalted / debilitated in 2nd Bhava give light colored eyes. Surya debilitated in Thula in 2nd has given Aishwarya Rai light colored eyes that make her ravishingly beautiful. Why would Budh Antardasa in Chandr Dasa, connected in 12th Bhava in Dasamsa give such success? They form a part of Grahamalika Yoga that starts from Mangal in 10th Bhava till Sani in 2nd Bhava. Thus, during their conjoined period, effect of Malika (garland) functioned.

Age for big break The age at which the big break comes is seen from strongest Graha influencing 9th Lord and 10th Bhava. As in chart of Susmita Sen (chart 117) 9th Lord Chandr is aspected by Surya (first chance) that is also 10th Lord (success) showing the age at 21 / 22 years (table 30). Similarly, in chart 118, 9th Lord is Sukr that is conjoined Chandr (second chance / attempt) as both aspect 10th Bhava. Age indicated by Chandr is 23rd / 24th year (i.e. 1996 / 1997). The break that made her an international figure came in that year. page ~ 138 ~

 Arudha Lg: Simha (AL)  Rajyapada: Mesha (A10)  Hora Lg: Thula (HL)  Ghatika Lagna: Thula (GL) Alfred Nobel (chart 119) is a name we remember every year when 6 Nobel prizes are awarded. These prizes are regarded as the most prestigious / highest awards in their respective fields. Lagna, Hora Lagna and Ghatika Lagna are all in one Rasi Thula conjoined Lords of 2nd, 9th and 11th Bhava Surya, Mangal and Budh and with Guru in 7th from them in Rajyapada (A10) in Mesha. This gives 4 powerful Yogadas (Rajyogas). Conjunction of Lagna Lord Sukr and Yogakarak 5th Lord Sani is another Rajyoga. As this occurs in 12th Bhava it gives considerable independent thinking, knowledge (5th Bhava) related to chemicals (Sukr) and ability to work hard (Sani). Rahu, ruling original research is in 9th Bhava in exaltation aspected by Yogakarak 5th Lord Sani that conjoin Sukr (8th Lord research). 10th Lord Chandr is in 4th Bhava (Trikonas to 8th Bhava) showing a career where the intellect will prevail. Sukr (chemicals) is also 10th Lord from Chandr Rasi and Arudha Lagna and is placed in mercurial Rasi (intellect / study of it). Navamsa Lagna has Surya in it with Rahu in 5th Bhava (combination found in chart of Albert Einstein who has Rahu in Meena in Navamsa Lagna and Surya in 5th Bhava - he developed knowledge that produced Atom bomb). This combination has been said to cause death by snakebite / fire if in 2nd Bhava and related to Lagna, native shall have ability to create dangerous fires (Alfred Nobel discovered that nitroglycerine in combination with a porous inert absorbent such as charcoal etc. can be an explosive mixture that can be safely carried and sold. He developed dynamite). Since Budh Atmakarak conjoins Rahu, "fires" shall be of great commercial importance. As 9th Lord in Lagna in Rasi chart with 2nd & 11th Lord, Budh promised a very large earning / fortune due to commercial demand for this "fire" (dynamite) and Alfred Nobel amassed a huge fortune due to his discovery. In Dasamsa, 10th Lord in 2nd Bhava, and Surya should have determined profession as an institutional head. Exaltation of 2nd & 8th Lord Guru in 9th Bhava and Lagna Lord in 3rd Bhava is another powerful combination promising success and authority / name & fame of a high order especially when in conjunction with 9th Lord Chandr. Guru is also in 9th Bhava from Arudha Lagna in Rajya Pada (A10). Nobel Prize that was constituted with his legacy is seen from Rajya Pada (A10) in Mesha with Guru in it. 12th Bhava from Arudha Lagna shows expenditure and since this is ruled by Chandr, prizes are made in his name (this is also 10th Bhava). Guru is Putrakaraka and signifies followers or fellow scientists who he wished to honor for pure, successful research in physics, chemistry and physiology. Literature, economics and peace are other areas. Readers may compare this chart to that of Emperor Akbar (chart 114) and note validity of Rajyoga emphasized by Jaimini and Parasara.

Pierre and Marie Curie, whose research in radioactivity had made a colossal leap for science. Rajyapada (A10) for Pierre Curie (chart 120) is calculated from Ketu (co-Lord of Vrischika) instead of Mangal as Rahu becoming Chara Atmakarak makes its counterpart Ketu much stronger than Mangal. Atmakarak is always strongest Graha in any chart. Lagna Lord Sani in 6th Bhava in Karkataka gives "Dhimantah" Yoga, i.e. native will be in pursuit of knowledge and will be very intelligent. Similarly, Chandr in 9th Bhava makes a person very intelligent and always engaged in higher learning / research. Arthatrikona in Rasi chart (D-1) is dominated by Sani and Sukr (exalted & Vargottama) in watery (intellect) Rasis. Watery Rasis are called Brahman Rasi and promote Gyana Yoga (i.e. pursuit of knowledge) and Sukr is dispositor of Chandr (Subhapati) besides being a Yogakarak (4th & 9th Lord) for Kumbha. Sani is placed in 10th from Chandr Rasi, indicating a lot of physical labor in his research as well as success in "starting some work" implying discovery etc. In Navamsa, Budh is in Mithuna in Lagna indicating scientific eminence as Sukr is exalted in 10th. Sani and Sukr are again in Arthatrikona. In his Dasamsa Sani is in 10th Bhava (being a Yogakarak for Thula Lagna and is with Lagna Lord Sukr). This is a powerful Yoga for success in one's work. In 1898 during Sani Dasa Sukr Antardasa Pierre and Marie discovered radium and its radioactive properties. Several tons of pitchblende (Sani) which is source of radium and uranium yielded 0.1 grams of pure radium chloride. Impact of Sukr in promoting science (chemicals Sukr) is evident in this chart as it dominates Artha Trikona and is very strong in 10th Bhava in Dasamsa. Vimsottari Dasa yields excellent results when Chandr is in 9th Bhava and it was during Sani - Sukr that discovery was made. However, Rajya Pada (A10) is in Kumbha and their efforts / success would take time to be recognized and appreciated. Rahu is in Kumbha that is aspected by its Lord Sani (Rasi Dristi). In Dasamsa, Rahu aspects 10th Bhava with Sani in it Thus, in 1903 Pierre and Marie Curie shared Nobel Prize for physics with A.H. Becquerel. Pierre was under Vimsottari Dasa - Antardasa of Sani - Rahu. It may be noted that Rahu is in or aspects Rajya Pada in both charts 120 & 121 of Pierre and Marie Curie. It is also in 5th Bhava in Thula in Navamsa of both charts. Since Rajya Pada is in Lagna which is already strong with its co-Lord Rahu in it as Sani is in Karkataka (aspecting Kumbha by Rasi Dristi), the name of person shall be remembered for a long time. Unit of measurement of radioactivity, "Curie" is after Pierre and Marie. Chart 121

 Arudha Lg: Mesha(AL)  Rajyapada: Makara (A10) Please also see previous chart of Pierre Curie. Marie Curie (chart 121) has Surya in 5th Bhava indicating brilliance. Surya has Neechabhanga (cancellation of debility) as all 3 of Mangal, Sukr and Sani are in Kendras from Chandr indicating that mind (Chandr) shall cause rise, fame and success. 10th Bhava is devoid of Grahas as 10th Lord Guru is very well placed in 9th Bhava (higher learning / knowledge) with Chandr forming Gajakesari Yoga that gives a good name, fame and excellent reputation. Such natives are dedicated to the pursuit of knowledge and are truthful. Conjunction of 4 Grahas in a Dusthana (6th Bhava) does not give Pravrajya Yoga (renunciation). Conjunction of Lagna and 6th Lords, Budh and Mangal is a Dhimantah Yoga giving high intelligence. Similarly, conjunction of Lagna and 5th Lords Budh and Sukr is also a Dhimantah Yoga besides being a Rajyoga. Thus Budh becomes a powerful Yoga Karak and Rajyoga and Dhimantah Yoga can function in conjoined period of Budh and Sukr. From Arudha Lagna, Lagna and 6th Lords are Mangal and Budh that conjoin to again indicate Dhimantah Yoga, and page ~ 140 ~




as 1st and 3rd Lords, they conjoin to again indicate Dhimantah Yoga. Marie Curie was very brilliant and worked incessantly for pure science and pursuit of higher knowledge she discovered radium (with her husband) Pierre in 1898 when she was under Budh - Sukr Vimsottari Dasa Antardasa (Chandr in 9th Bhava indicates that Vimsottari Dasa gives perfect results). In Navamsa, Atmakarak Chandr is in Lagna indicating self actualization and achievement of one's desires. There is a Grahamalika Yoga from Lagna (Vargottama) to 6th Bhava having Budh (Lagna Lord - self) and Guru (7th Lord husband). Thus she and her husband were together in the project. In Dasamsa, 7 Grahas are in Kendras with Chandr and Budh in 10th Bhava as Sukr, Ketu and Sani are in 7th. Thus, discovery of Radium was made in 1898 in Budh Dasa Sukr Antardasa (Sukr is Yogakarak in Dasamsa). Rajya Pada (A10 - recognition / awards) is in Makara aspected by 4 Grahas from Vrischika and Rahu from Simha. She was given Nobel Prize (physics) for her discovery and work in radioactivity in 1903 in Budh Dasa Rahu Antardasa along with her husband Pierre and Mr. Becquerel. She again received Nobel Prize for chemistry (1911) in Ketu Dasa Chandr Antardasa (Chandr is in 10th in Dasamsa as Ketu conjoins Sukr in 7th Bhava) for isolating metallic radium. Both Chandr and Ketu conjoin 10th Lord Guru in 9th Bhava (in Rasi chart) thereby giving its result. They are also placed in 2nd Bhava from Rajya Pada thereby causing Argala that is unobstructed. Her fame is undying and her name "Curie" shall always be remembered as it forms the basic unit for measuring radioactivity.

As Lord of Upapada Sani indicates that matters related to his spouse could adversely affect his career. Salesmanship requires charming and winning over people to accept your goods and Sukr is an important significator as it also shows travelling related to profession. Sukr is 10th Lord from Chandr and is placed in a fixed Rasi in 9th Bhava showing that job opportunities could come in South Eastern direction (Sukr) in foreign lands. Conjunction of Mangal and Ketu shows technical skills / engineered items. Budh 10th Lord from Lagna joins 9th Lord Surya to form a powerful Dharma Karmadhipati Yoga. There is cancellation of debility of Surya caused by Sani in Kendra from Lagna and Mangal & Sukr in Kendra from Chandr (mind - Mantra). Rajyapada is in 12th Bhava (sales). Parivartan Yoga between Surya and Sukr (9th & 11th Lords) has a Kartari Yoga on 10th Bhava and native sells TVs and all domestic electronic appliances. In Dasamsa (D10) 3 benefics including Sukr dispositor of exalted 10th Lord is placed in 12th Bhava (sales). Although 7th Bhava is stronger than 6th Bhava, Sani placed in it will show service instead of business. Thus, 10th Lord Sani takes him for service to the world of business and entertainment (Sukr) and Sukr gives him specific job of sales. Treat 6th Bhava as Lagna for service. This is Kanya and Grahas in 2nd / 7th from this Bhava will work detrimentally towards this Bhava. Its Lord Budh is debilitated and conjoins 9th & 12th Lord Guru (tends to make him independent). Sani is placed in 2nd from it. Mangal is Lord of Dasamsa Lagna as well as 8th Bhava and will give both good and bad results pertaining to Dasamsa. During Mangal Dasa Sani Antardasa Sukr Pratyantardasa, native got a good offer as sales manager in a multinational company and he went to China and SE Asia for the job in Mangal Dasa Sani Antardasa Surya Pratyantardasa (Surya is 5th Lord in Dasamsa - joining of new job / authority). Unfortunately due to a divorce case pending in the court, he took leave and returned to India in Mangal Dasa Sani Antardasa Guru Pratyantar Dasa. With the advent of Budh Antardasa in Mangal Dasa from February 1997 he was jobless and embroiled in a court case. Native was advised to perform certain Vedic remedial measures and in Mangal - Budh Sukr Vimsottari Dasa - Antara - Pratyantar the case ended in his favor. In subsequent Surya Pratyantardasa in the same period he got a new job related to selling paint (Budh) and left for Bombay. Surya is 5th Lord of Dasamsa chart and will always give new job opportunities / employment during its period. In Rasi chart it conjoins 7th Lord and ends enmity. The case also ended in his favor. page ~ 141 ~

Chart 123

Chart 122 123 - Ms. Kavita, born on 5th August 1960, at 09 pm IST, at Madras, 18 N 05, 80 E 17.

 Atmakarak: Chandr  Arudha Lg: Mithuna (AL)  Rajyapada: Kanya (A10) Chart 123 is horoscope of the publisher and owner of Starteller a monthly magazine on astrology. 10th Bhava is Dhanur with Guru in it forming a powerful Hamsa Mahapurush Yoga and conjoining Chandr to give Gajakesari Yoga that brings name and fame. Sani and Chandr in 10th Bhava is a powerful combination for success and rise as Guru & Sani form Brahma Yoga that makes one successful in initiating any activity, religious and spiritual. Since astrology is based on determining the future on the basis on starting time (beginning of life or an event), Brahma Yoga is very helpful for astrologers. 10th Bhava is also aspected by Mangal and Rahu. In Navamsa, 10th has Guru, Ketu and Sukr. 10th Lord Mangal is involved in a Parivartan Yoga with 9th Lord Guru showing that Karma shall be related to Dharma. Dasamsa has all Grahas in Kendras / Trikonas as 10th Lord Budh (ruling writing / publishing) is in a watery Rasi (intellect) Meena (ruled by Guru - astrology) and conjoined Mangal (inks / printing). Rahu conjoins this combination to initiate the magazine publication that has been gradually improving. Dasa of Guru begins from June 2000 when a number of Rajyogas and Mahapurush Yoga will function. Kanya is Rajyapada as well as 10th Bhava in Dasamsa showing publishing etc. Presence of luminaries in 10th with Moksha Karak Ketu will indicate the nature of magazine - astrology and spiritualism. In Guru Dasa with association of best astrologers of the world, she will bring the magazine to a very high standard.

Chart 123 124 - male, born on 16th December 1961, Delhi, 09:49 pm, 28 N 39, 77 E 13.  Arudha Lg: Vrischika (AL)  Rajyapada: Simha (A10)  Atmakarak: Chandr In chart 124 Mangal owns 10th Bhava from Lagna and conjoins 2nd Lord Surya (significator of father) and Budh (12th Lord - foreign land) in 6th Bhava. These Grahas are also placed in 10th from Chandr. Mangal placed in 10th from Chandr indicates going to a foreign land for one's livelihood. Chandr is Atmakarak in 9th Bhava and this is sure to happen. Combination of Mangal and Budh indicates electrical engineering. 10th Lord from Chandr is Guru which is also 9th Lord (foreign travel) and is dispositor of Lagna Lord placed in 7th Bhava with 7th Lord. Native follows his father to a foreign land where they find suitable livelihood and residence. Since Chandr is in 9th Bhava, this will occur in early childhood when native's father goes abroad to Zambia for his fortune (job / contact with Zambian Gov.). Native is himself employed as an electrical engineer in Zambia. In Dasamsa (D-10) Guru and Ketu are in Arthatrikona (2nd & 6th Bhava), showing legal knowledge, instrumentation etc. 6th Bhava is stronger than 7th Bhava to show service instead of business. 10th

Lord Budh is in Lagna (earns early due to his skills and is independent in his views) in a fiery Rasi (engineering etc.) with Mangal (electrical engineering - Mangal + Budh + Surya). Dharmakarmadhipati Yoga of Surya & Budh in Lagna gives a lot of responsibility which he will fulfill quite ably. Rahu in 12th Bhava in Dasamsa shows that he maybe subject to machination of crafty enemies and jealous colleagues. This happened in Rahu Antardasa of Surya Dasa in 26th June 1996 to 21st May 1997 and native preferred a change in his job. Sani aspecting Lagna (or Lagnesh) in Dasamsa makes a person very hard working but will give green-eyed colleagues in the office.

Chart 126

 Arudha Lg: Kanya (AL)  Rajyapada: Simha (A10)  Upapada: Meena (UL) In chart 126, 10th Bhava has Rahu placed in it having Argala (intervention) of Sani in 2nd from it that is fully obstructed by Guru and a debilitated Sukr in 12th from it. This is also 10th Bhava from Chandr. In Dasamsa (D-10), 10th Bhava is a martian Rasi Vrischika with Sani in it showing a career related to thieves (Sani) and police (Mangal). 10th Lord Mangal is in Mesha in 3rd Bhava (courage etc.) in company of shadowy Rahu ruling secret services and Budh. Martian influences dominate to show service in CID (intelligence department) of police. Sani in 10th Bhava promises many ups and downs in career. Native was working in intelligence department of Rajasthan police during Rahu Dasa (till 1983 - 1984). 10th Lord of Rasi chart and Chandr Rasi is Sukr placed in debility in conjunction with Guru. Thus Guru will indicate results of debilitated Sukr. Guru is also Lord of Upapada placed in 7th from it with debilitated Sukr as Ketu is in 2nd from Upapada. This shows delay / denial of marriage and instability in family life. In Dasamsa, Guru is placed in 8th Bhava to indicate resignation from service. With the advent of Guru Dasa in 1984, native left Government service with the notion that he would do better in business. Unfortunately Guru is placed in 8th Bhava from 7th Lord Surya (in Dasamsa D-10). Thus, any business that he takes up will wind up in a short while resulting in huge losses and destruction of parental property that he inherits in bits and pieces. Guru in 8th Bhava in Dasamsa shows this inheritance for doing business. As 2nd & 11th Lord in 8th Bhava resignation from service should be normally expected during period of Guru, but the success of business will depend on 7th Lord Surya. Guru Dasa ends only in September 2000 and till such time, there is hardly any likelihood of success in any business. Chart 127

 Arudha Lg: Mesha (AL)  Rajyapada: Karkataka (A10)  Mrityupada: Vrishabha (A8) Chart 127 has Surya in 5th Bhava showing a high level of intelligence. Native was a doctorate and eminent upcoming scientist in London. Lord of Lagna Chandr, 5th and 10th (Mangal) and 6th and 9th (Guru) conjoin in 7th Bhava to give many powerful Rajyoga including Dhimantah Yoga (1st & 5th and 1st & 6th), Dharmakarmadhipati Yoga (9th & 10th), Lakshmi Yoga (1st & 9th), Rajyoga (1st & 10th and 1st & 5th) etc. Since this combination is in 7th Bhava, these Rajyogas are to function in a foreign land. This is also supported by Parivartan (exchange) Rajyoga between Sani and Guru involving 7th and 9th Bhava. Guru also gets Neechabhanga (cancellation of debility) due to Mangal and Chandr in Kendras from Lagna and each other. However, there is a strong warning in Parivartan Yoga as Sani going to 9th Bhava gives misfortunes around 36 / 37 years and Guru 9th Lord in debility can reverse the good fortune if native were to reside near birth place (Indian subcontinent) instead of the foreign land. Now, Sukr in 5th Bhava indicates deep patriotism and love for motherland. Unfortunately Sukr is Badhakesh (Lord of obstruction) and is afflicted by Rahu 8th Lord besides being in debility in Navamsa. As 10th Lord of Navamsa, its debility will destroy wealth and fortune. Lagna Lord Chandr (of D-1) is also placed in 8th Bhava in Navamsa chart. In Dasamsa, Guru conjoins Sukr to indicate Rajyoga in the beginning but can give negative results of 3rd Bhava (8th from 8th Bhava) during adverse periods. Chandr is 10th Lord in 8th Bhava showing retirement / resignation for achievement of higher ideals. Its eclipse by Ketu is most undesirable threatening destruction of career. It is also placed in 8th from Guru. During Guru Dasa Chandr Antardasa, native left his brilliant research career in U.K. to return to India. Unfortunately nothing materialized and for one reason or other he could not reestablish himself. His brilliant career was abruptly stopped in 1972 (36th year) and he was jobless till his death in 1992. Although Sani is a Yogakarak in Dasamsa, its placement in 3rd Bhava is most undesirable. Even Sai Baba of Shirdi who had Sani in 3rd from Dasamsa Lagna had to beg for his food during Sani Dasa. Sani also threatens destruction of fortune in 9th Bhava in Rasi chart and good fortune of Guru was fully reversed. It is also placed in 12th Bhava from Arudha Lagna being 10th Lord. In every division and from every Lagna, AL etc. Sani is ill placed. Thus, Dasa of Sani continued negative career indication till his death in Sani Dasa Rahu Antardasa. Readers may note that such a brilliant person with a double doctorate had his 10th Bhava destroyed at an early age simply because of an emotional decision. In spite of Rajyogas, it is negatives that should be carefully checked. Incidentally, Sri Girish Sarma passed away on 25th September 1992 at around 08:45 pm in Delhi. Sani & Chandr pair initially determine longevity at 72 - 108 years, but since Atmakarak Mangal is in 7th Bhava, Vipereeta Ayur Yoga occurs and longevity compartment is reduced to 36 - 72 years. Death occurred in Shoola Dasa - Antardasa of Karkataka - Kumbha. Punya chart 128 has Arudha Lagna of natal chart in Lagna (see Rath's rules). Surya is in Kanya, Trikonas to natal Mrityupada in Vrishabha. 5th Bhava in natal chart has Rahu as strongest to kill. This will indicate Vedic date as Amavasya (Krisna 15) or Astami (8) Tithi. Tithi at the time of demise was Amavasya. Thus, all rules for determining year, month, Vedic date and Lagna have worked. Vimsottari Dasa at the time of death was Sani Dasa Rahu Antardasa. Rahu transits 12th Bhava from Sani in debility in Dhanur as Sani transits point of Yoga in Makara over Chandr Lord of natal Lagna. Important inferences in this chart are: (a) (b) (c) (d)

Parivartan Yoga can indicate reversal of fortune, i.e. Yoga can be very benefic or very malefic. Yogakarak Grahas of Rasi chart should be well placed in Navamsa and Dasamsa. There should not be any Duryogas associated with Parivartan and other Rajyoga. Primary indications of Grahas like fortune in foreign land etc. should be meticulously followed.

Chart 128

 Arudha Lg: Kanya (AL)  Rajyapada: Dhanur (A10)  Atmakarak: Budh (AK) In chart 128, there are 2 powerful Hamsa and Bhadra Mahapurush Yoga formed by Guru and Budh in own Rasi in Kendras. Conjunction of 9th, 10th and 11th Lords is a Rajyoga, that occurring in 7th Bhava brings good fortune for spouse. Lagna has Brahma Yoga by conjunction of Guru and Sani. This Yoga produces a learned person and leads to Gyana Yoga (pursuit of knowledge). This Yoga is in Rajyapada (A10) and also 10th Bhava from Chandr and indicates teaching profession. All Rajyogas or Mahapurush Yogas etc. depend on strength of Surya to initiate Yoga and strength of Chandr to sustain Yoga. Surya, although well placed in Rasi chart is in its debilitated Navamsa with exalted Sani. This combination shows a good career (service) of spouse as Sani is 7th Lord in Navamsa and is exalted in 10th from it with 10th Lord Sukr. Sukr Dasa started in 29th November 1980 and her spouse, an electrical engineer, is working in a Government owned public sector undertaking and has done very well in his profession. In Dasamsa, Surya in well placed in 5th Bhava, but conjoins Sani (delay / denial) while Chandr is ill placed in 3rd Bhava. Chandr in 3rd / 8th can show renunciation (Pravrajya Yoga that is opposite to Rajyoga). Arthatrikona has Rahu in it that is unaspected by any Graha. 10th is a jupiterian Rasi Dhanur (teaching etc.) as 10th Lord Guru is in debility (low career profile). 7th Lord Budh is also in debility (poor business prospects) and is in Trikonas to strong 6th (service) Lord Surya. She serves as a teacher for a public school in Delhi and since Sukr aspects 10th Bhava, has had a relatively fine job, during Sukr Dasa (November 1980 - November 2000). As 8th Lord Sukr gave many breaks in career.

Timing raise In Dasamsa, Budh has some Neechabhanga due to its placement in a Kendra from Lagna. Both Budh and Sukr are in Kendras. Specific sub-sub period should be related to 5th Lord for gain of authority. 5th Lord Chandr is ill placed in 3rd Bhava, but is in exaltation with 2nd Lord (wealth) Mangal. She got the raise (salary jump) and some other benefits on 14th February 1998 in Sukr Dasa Budh sub-period Chandr sub-sub period and Mangal sub-sub-sub period. Forthcoming Dasa of luminaries (Surya & Chandr) will see her elevated as head of institution (principal of school) as she retires in Mangal Dasa (placed in 3rd Bhava - 8th from 8th Bhava). Chart 129

However, it is placed in Lagna in Dasamsa. Thus, native will break away from traditional lines / careers and will rise and make a name in some intellectual field. This is more so as Guru is dispositor of Chandr as well as 10th Lord from it. page ~ 145 ~




Conjunction of Lagna and 5th Lords, Sani and Sukr, is a powerful Rajyoga as it also includes Sasa and Malavya Mahapurush Yogas of Sani & Sukr respectively. Conjunction of Surya, the harbizer of Rajyoga is an added asset (readers may compare this chart to that of emperor Akbar). Surya attains Neechabhanga (cancellation of debility) due to Sukr in strength in a Kendra. Conjunction of Sani exalted Atmakarak with Lagna in both Rasi and Navamsa charts sets the stage for a life of achievement. Arudha Lagna has a powerful Dhanyoga (wealth) with Chandr in 9th and Guru in 2nd Bhava. Bill Gates is among the richest men in the world. Darapada (A7) ruling business is in Kumbha and is aspected by Sukr, Surya & Sani from Thula by Rasi Dristi. Lord of Darapada, Sani is exalted and is involved in a number of Rajyogas in Lagna. Rahu co-Lord of Darapada is debilitated in Rajyapada (A10). This indicates a very successful business as Grahas in exaltation / debilitation bring in a lot of money which is the chief objective of any commercial enterprise. Sukr Dasa started in 19th year on 7th April 1974 and Bill Gates showed his genius at an early age. The business was a big success and 'Microsoft' has become a household name. In Dasamsa, 10th (profession) and 7th (business) Lord Guru (intellect) has conjoined Ketu (small machines, computers) in 4th Bhava (office premises). Thus, his business / career relates to office automation / improvement of office work through software for computers. 7th Bhava with Lagna Lord Budh is much stronger than 6th Bhava (empty) that shows business instead of service. Arthatrikona has Sani and Rahu in Trikonas showing manpower / labor development and huge machines / factories that will produce the software. Sukr shows private sector in general, and adds beauty to his work. Software has very attractive features and is very user friendly. Surya in 9th Bhava and Chandr in Lagna confirm initiation and continuity of Rajyoga / Dhanyoga respectively. With the advent of Surya's Dasa in 7th April 1994 Bill Gates has established his presence worldwide and has left all competition behind.

 Arudha Lg: Kumbha (AL)  Rajyapada: Mithuna (A10)  Upapada Lg: Mithuna (UL) Sanjay Dutt (chart 130) has exalted Chandr in 7th Bhava indicating success and fame as Sukr, its dispositor, goes to 10th Bhava with Lagna Lord Mangal (anger) to show his successful film star image as angry young man. Rahu is placed in 11th Bhava (Trika - malefic) from Lagna and 8th from Arudha Lagna. It is also placed in 12th Bhava (secret enemies) from Dasamsa Lagna. Thus, Rahu Dasa from 21st to 39th year (22nd April 1980 - 1998) cannot be good. In spite of this negative Dasa, there was success in Antardasas of Sukr besides being Subhapati it generates Srimantah Yoga with Lagna Lord, is well placed in Thula in 2nd in Navamsa. In Dasamsa it is Lord of Lagna (self / success) and 8th (inheritance - father & mother were both top film stars) and has Yoga with Sani in 5th Bhava. It is noteworthy that Upapada (first wife) and Rajya Pada (A10 - name, fame, success) are in the same Rasi Mithuna. This will link first marriage to his professional success. Similarly, Sukr as 7th Lord in 10th Bhava links first marriage to his professional success. Surya is dispositor of Sukr and is placed in a debilitated Navamsa showing page ~ 146 ~




danger to first wife due to ill health (Surya). Recent research in medical astrology links Rasi Karkataka to dreaded disease cancer and Surya is in Karkataka. Similarly Lord of Upapada & Rajya Pada (Budh) is conjoined Surya in Karkataka. Surya is in 2nd Bhava (Maraka - killer) from Upapada & Rajyapada and is placed in a debilitated Navamsa. This is a specific combination for early loss of spouse and ill fame at the same time. During Rahu Dasa Surya Antardasa, his first wife, who was ailing due to cancer, expired. He was also sent to jail for illegal possession of arms and suffered a lot of humiliation. As such Rahu is ill placed in 12th Bhava (secret enemies) in Dasamsa in Kanya (Budh - own people) while Surya is Lord of Badhak and leads obstruction. This again happened in Chandr Antardasa. From Arudha Lagna, Surya & Chandr are associated with 6th Bhava as Rahu is in 8th Bhava. It was only in Mangal Antardasa that he was released and the law was amended. Mangal is Lagnesh and is placed in 2nd from Surya in a debilitated Navamsa, thereby acting as a killer for Surya / Karkataka. It is also placed in 7th Bhava from Arudha Lagna (killer for enemies). Second marriage is seen from 8th Bhava from Upapada and 8th from 7th Bhava (i.e. 2nd Bhava). 8th from Upapada is Makara aspected by Mangal, Sukr and Chandr from fixed Rasis. This shows a suddenly arranged love marriage. Rahu is in Trikonas to Makara. Marriage with Rhea Pillai occurred suddenly one night in Rahu Dasa, Mangal Antardasa, Chandr Pratyantardasa. These Grahas should simultaneously associate with Lagnesh, 2nd Bhava (second marriage) and Trikonas to Lagna in Navamsa chart respectively. Rahu (Dasa) is in 4th Bhava (Argala) from Budh Lord of Navamsa Lagna and aspects Lagna. Mangal (Antardasa) aspects Sukr in Thula in 2nd from Navamsa Lagna as Chandr (Pratyantardasa) is in Trikonas (5th Bhava) from Navamsa Lagna. Dasa of Rajyogkarak Guru (AK) placed in 10th Bhava in Navamsa and Dasamsa is about to begin from 22nd April 1998.

Industry - milk product (ghee)

Chart 131

Chart 131 - male, born on 23rd November 1954, Sadhura, 10:45 am, 30 N 23, 76 E 54.  Arudha Lg: Kumbha (AL)  Rajyapada: Vrischika (A10)  Atmakarak: Mangal In chart 131, 10th Lord is in 11th Bhava with 3 other Grahas including exalted 2nd Lord Sani (money matters) and 11th Lord Sukr (gains). Chandr indicates milk products. Rajya Pada (A10) in Vrischika has conjunction of 9th Lord Surya showing large factory to produce ghee (fat). Rajyapada is owned by Mangal that is placed in exaltation in Bhava of Sani. Thus, in Sani Dasa Mangal Antardasa he set up a huge plant to manufacture ghee and other milk products. Rajyapada has Papakartari Yoga of Sani and Rahu on it and in subsequent period of Sani Dasa Rahu Antardasa between January 1995 to October 1997, factory became sick and had to be shut down. Sani is Lord of AL and is exalted in 9th Bhava from it showing his sudden elevation to a high status in Sani Dasa. 10th Lord from Chandr Rasi is Chandr that shows use of milk (milk products) in business while Guru exalted in 10th from Chandr shows its conversion to Ghee. In Dasamsa (D-10), 6th Bhava with Chandr is stronger than 7th Bhava (empty). However, Argala is removed by 2 Grahas in 8th Bhava. Now, Grahas in 8th Bhava have Argala on 7th Bhava. Thus, Grahas in 8th Bhava if favorable will promote business instead of service. Budh is Lord of 1st and 10th Bhava and will surely favor these Rasis thereby indicating a business career instead of service. Rahu is a malefic in 8th Bhava and damages Budh. 7th Bhava is unoccupied and its Lord Guru is placed in 9th Bhava (independent business) with Sani (few partners) in Vrishabha (clothes, cowshed). Thus business of native was centered around clothes and garments. He decided to start manufacture of ghee (fat) in Mangal Antardasa of Sani Dasa as Mangal is placed in 10th Bhava with Yogakarak Sukr. Mangal with directional strength gives engineering and factories are established. Mangal is also in 2nd from Sani. Decision to go public was in Sani Dasa Mangal Antardasa Chandr Pratyantardasa. Chandr rules public and its placement as 11th Lord in 6th indicates Duryoga (misfortune). This occurred in Rahu Antardasa. Rahu is placed in 12th from Sani and 8th from Lagna and afflicts Budh Lord of 1st & 10th Bhava. Native was warned that his factory would be put up for auction in Sukr Pratyantar of Sani Dasa Rahu Antardasa and that he should worship Lord Hanumanji and take a stay from the court. Factory was put up for auction in Sani - Rahu Sukr - Rahu Dasa - Antara - Pratyantar - Sookshmantar period and native managed to get a stay. Sukr is a Yogakarak benefic and conjoins Mangal whose results it will give. It is also in 3rd from Rahu. The reasons for advising stay was forthcoming Antardasa of Guru. Narayana Padakrama Dasas have final say in all affairs. Dasa of Makara (1992 - 1996) has exalted Mangal in it as its Lord Sani is exalted with 3 Grahas in 11th Bhava. During Dasas of naturally malefic Rasis, results of Grahas and its Lord are felt in the beginning and results of Rasi are seen in the end. Thus 4 year period can be broadly divided into 2 sub-periods of Grahas (1992 - 1994) and Makara Rasi (1994 - 1996). Mangal exalted in 2nd, 2nd Lord exalted in 5th and Surya in Rajyapada (A10) aspecting Mangal gave huge project and grand fortune in first phase (1992 - 1994). page ~ 147 ~




Makara is a natural malefic Rasi and is Maraka for Lagna and Rahu is in 12th from it to show downfall and great distress in second phase (1994 - 1996). As Mangal is in 12th Bhava from Arudha Lagna its Karakatwa (signification) is lost / destroyed. Native lost 2 younger brothers (significator Mangal) in an automobile accident in this phase that marked the beginning of his downfall. Whichever Graha is placed in 12th from Arudha Lagna, its Naisargika Karakatwa (natural signification) is lost / destroyed. Similar placement in 12th from Upapada shows loss of such relation in in-law's family. Next Narayana Dasa of Vrishabha is from 1996 - 2001. It is a natural benefic Rasi and shall give results in the beginning (say 1996 - 1998). Surya in 7th shows opposition from Government, Guru in 3rd and Sukr in 6th are Marana Karaka Graha, i.e. signification of their Bhavas will be damaged / destroyed. Guru ruling 1st & 4th Bhava shows damage to health / reputation and properties while Sukr owning 6th & 11th Bhava damages servants, increases enemies and damages income. Chandr and Budh in 6th from Dasa Rasi (Vrishabha) are neutral if not evil, Sani is beneficial in 6th and Rahu in 8th is disastrous showing loan, debt traps and poverty / losses. All this has occurred so far between 1996 - 1998, first part of Vrishabha Dasa. In second phase (1998 - 2001) results of Sukr are expected and the same will make a change / return of fortune. Chart 132

Insurance officer Chart 132 - female, born on 22nd August 1966, Bombay, 08:46 am, 18 N 58, 72 E 50.  Arudha Lg: Vrishabha (AL)  Rajyapada: Simha (A10)  Hora Lg: Thula (HL)  Ghatika Lg: Kumbha (GL) In chart 132, 10th Bhava is vacant and its Lord conjoins a host of Grahas in 11th Bhava, of these Grahas the strongest is exalted Guru and the weakest is Mangal. Being natural malefic conjoining all benefics, it will dominate and 8th lordship shows insurance sector. Conjunction of Lords of all Kendras with Sukr 9th Lord and Yogakarak has generated a number of Rajyogas including Dharmakarmadhipati Yoga. There are a number of Grahas in 10th Bhava from Chandr to show powerful Yogas like Gajakesari etc. Compare this to chart 131 that also has from Grahas in 11th Bhava and Surya in 12th in Rajyapada. Yet the former is an industrialist and this native is an officer is an insurance company. Important difference is Arudha Lagna which determines "Maya" or image of person. Chart 131 has 4 Grahas in 9th Bhava from AL whereas chart 132 has none. Exaltation of 11th Lord from AL, Guru shows great fortune after marriage. After her marriage, she built a huge flat and the couple are doing very well. It will be appreciated that if only Rasi chart 131 & 132 are considered, it will be difficult to explain the significant difference in status and profession. In Dasamsa (D-10) of chart 132, there is a Grahamalika Yoga from 9th Bhava Guru to Sukr in Lagna. There is also a Parivartan Rajyoga involving Lagna Lord Chandr (exalted) and 11th Lord Sukr. Mangal in own Rasi in 10th Bhava gives technical expertise and zeal in work and produces a very efficient person. With all this, we find that 7th Bhava is much weaker than 6th Bhava and native will have to take up a service instead of an independent business or profession. There are also no Grahas in 8th Bhava to stop the influence of 6th Bhava. The area of work is determined by Rasis and Grahas involved. Sani and Rahu show dead / dying and other calamities while Guru as Lord of Rasi shows providential help / protection. This clearly points at insurance sector. Sani and Rahu are also Lords of 8th Bhava ruling calamities / death. Guru is also 9th Lord and is placed in 9th Bhava (Government) being aspected by Surya (Government). The insurance company is owned and controlled by the Government. Narayana Dasas begin from Meena (7th Bhava is stronger than Lagna) and progress zodiacally as per Padakrama scheme. 3rd Dasa of Vrischika is from 19th to 25th year. Antardasas begin from Karkataka occupied by Mangal and are in reverse direction. Ghatika Lagna is in Kumbha aspected Chart 133 by Karkataka, Vrishabha and Thula. She started earning at a young age by taking tuitions etc. from 19th year. In 6th Antardasa Kumbha (having Ghatika Lagna) she joined service in insurance company. Thus, Ghatika Lagna is an invaluable tool in timing the beginning of a job or Rajyoga.

 Darapada: Kanya (A7)  Atmakarak: Rahu (AK) In chart 133, Ketu is in 10th Bhava showing a routine profession, good behavior, poor decision making and a lot of social service. This also gives a lot of clerical work. Lagna Lord is debilitated without Neechabhanga (cancellation). Its placement in Darapada (A7) shows that although he belongs to business community, he will himself not be in business. Rajyapada (A10) is in 8th Bhava in Dhanur showing intellectual / deskwork, but its Lord is in debility in a saturnine Rasi Makara with Sani indicating a lot of physical labor in the desk job. 10th from Chandr is again Dhanur and above applies in toto as there are no Grahas in Dhanur. Rajyapada (A10) is also in 12th Bhava from Arudha Lagna showing a weak Rajyapada low / middle status. Parivartan Yoga between 5th and 6th Lords brings service (6th) into direct contact with Poorvapunya / future (5th). This also indicates errors in Pooja / Mantra. Rahu becoming Atmakarak will make a person religious as evil Grahas taking responsibility of directing one's spiritual / religious affairs. Atmakarak does not leave much room for other Grahas to take a person on the wrong path. In Dasamsa, 6th Bhava is much stronger than 7th Bhava with Ketu (routine jobs / service) in it. Although Mangal obstructs Ketu, it does not bring a beneficial Argala on 7th and instead causes Papakartari Yoga on 7th Bhava. 7th Lord Guru is placed in 8th Rasi from it in Thula. Natural benefics placed in 8th from their Rasis damage significance of Bhavas. Thus, Guru's placement indicates a damaged business prospect. Arthatrikona is dominated by this Guru that has already denied business / independent profession and service in public sector is left out. Lagna (ability / self) and 10th (Karma) Lord Budh is placed in 4th Bhava showing that the work is related to preparing documents (Budh in jupiterian Rasi) and will be indoors / related to office interior or its functioning (note that a similar 10th Lord in 4th is typing related work / office automation etc.). Thus, stenography / typing is the profession of native. As 5th Lord joins a debilitated 9th Lord Sukr, authority is denied and whatever power that native will enjoy will only be delegated by 9th Lord Sukr. Chandr exalted in 9th Bhava shows that native shall have good fortune of working with some idealistic (exalted) bureaucrats (Chandr). Native started his career at an early age in Ketu Dasa Sani Antardasa. These Grahas are placed in / own 10th Bhava in Rasi chart and 6th Bhava in Dasamsa. Sani also owns 5th Bhava in Dasamsa. His career will end with the advent of Mangal Dasa.

Dhanur indicate strife and financial problems respectively. In Antardasa of Dhanur in Kumbha Dasa (September 1996 to June 1997) native was suddenly asked to quit. He had been working very hard and had increased turnover of company three-fold, yet this reward! While it is easy to predict trouble from Narayana Dasa of Kumbha - Dhanur, Vimsottari Dasa of Guru - Mangal does not easily explain problems in work but for the fact that Mangal is a malefic in Dasamsa.

Native was advised to worship Surya god with Astakshari Aditya Mantra (Om Ghrini Surya Adityah) and was told that he will get a job around mid-July 1997 in a company having contacts partnership with foreigners or a multinational. Antardasa of Makara in Kumbha Dasa (June 1997 to March 1998) has Rajyapada (A10) and efforts of native will be recognized. Chandr and Sukr in 5th from Makara also promise the job. In Vimsottari, period of Guru Dasa Rahu sub-period and Rahu sub-sub-period would be operative. In Dasamsa Rahu is 9th Lord placed in 10th Bhava with Chandr (cooling). Guru is 10th Lord of Dasamsa. Thus in Guru - Rahu - Rahu he got the job in first week of July, proving prediction right although it was off the mark by 7 days. It will be appreciated that Dasamsa has been used almost independently in timing results using Vimsottari Dasa. Second point is that Narayana (Padakrama) Dasa has an overriding influence on chart. 



11th Bhava deals with elder co-born, income and gains, realization of hopes and friends. As explained under 3rd Bhava, elder brothers or sisters of native are seen from 11th from Arudha Lagna while those of spouse are seen from 11th from Upapada33. Reckoning34 of 11th Bhava for the sake of determining co-born, is zodiacal or reverse depending on whether Arudha Lagna / Upapada is an odd or even Rasi respectively. If Sukr aspects or conjoins 11th Bhava, it will destroy elder co-born. If Sukr is placed in 8th Bhava, it will destroy elder co-born or there could be a premature delivery or abortion before native. Sani and Rahu in 11th also deny elder co-born. Sani alone in 11th shows loss at a late date. Rasis and Grahas involved as well as Drekkana35 should be considered before a conclusion. Death of elder coborn is timed through Shoola Dasa36 starting from 11th or 5th Bhava, whichever is stronger.

11.2



Friends



Friends are seen from 11th Bhava from Lagna itself. Grahas in 11th Bhava show kinds of people who are secretly friendly to native. For example, if Surya is in 11th, boss or father will quietly favor native while if Sani is in 11th, subordinates will support him. Grahas in 5th Bhava show people who will openly favor and support native. It may be noted that friendship or support is determined from natural signification of Graha as well as Bhavas owned by it but Lagna of friends / supporter is not determined by Grahas. Similarly, enemies who come out openly against native are seen from 6th Bhava while those who are secretly inimical are seen from 12th Bhava. There can be friends and enemies in all walks of life. For example, friendship / enmity between brothers is seen from Drekkana while friendship / enmity in profession is seen from Dasamsa37. Dwadasamsa38 is studied for friendship / enmity with parents / step or foster parents while friendship / enmity in studies is seen from Chaturvimsamsa39.

11.3

Gain



Gain is a very broad term and can include gain of objective, money, teacher or almost anything and everything. The gain of money or income is seen from 11th Bhava from Arudha Lagna while 12th Bhava from Arudha Lagna shows sources of losses. Sources of gain / loss will be on the basis of natural signification of Grahas. Surya will indicate gain from Government or father, Chandr from mother or bureaucrats, Mangal from younger brothers, army, police etc., Budh from uncles, relatives and litigation, Guru from priests, judiciary, Government, advisers & counselors, Sukr from Arudha Pada of 12th Bhava (A12) or UL for Upapada Lagna. It is also called Gauna Pada and signifies spouse. This is based on Vimsa (odd) or Sama (even) Rasi and not on Vimsapada (odd-footed) or Samapada (even-footed) Rasi. 35 D-3 chart used for co-born. Mantreswara also advises its use for profession, but this is not advised by Seers and others. 36 A longevity (Ayur) Dasa that has fixed periods of 9 years for every Rasi and always progress zodiacally. 37 D-10 chart used for profession & power. 38 D-12 chart for parents, elders and heritage. 39 D-24 chart for education, learning and other Siddhi. 33

women, public service etc., Sani from servants, low people, Rahu from foreigners, import and Ketu from elephants, exports etc. Natural benefics in 11th show legitimate sources of income while malefic Grahas show illegitimate sources of income. 11th Bhava is 6th from 6th Bhava. Hence, malefic Graha in 6th from Arudha Lagna show receipt of black money or illegitimate gains through bad means. For example, if Mangal is placed in or owns 6th from Arudha Lagna, native would misuse his powers by threatening or frightening others to gain money. Again, for example, if Guru owns or is placed in 6th from Arudha Lagna, native will never threaten or frighten anybody for money. Thus natural benefics in 3rd and 6th from Arudha Lagna produce a saint while malefics so placed will deny renunciation. Malefics in 6th will indicate service in armed forces or police and native should simultaneously have a natural benefic in 11th to assure honest earnings. Sources of gains / losses for others are seen from 11th / 12th from other Arudha Padas. Sources of gains are also seen from Grahas having Bindu40 in 11th Bhava from Lagna in Astakavarga41 Chakra while Grahas having Bindus in 12th Bhava show sources of expenditure or losses. If total dots in Sarvastakavarga are higher in 11th Bhava, income is higher that expenditure while more dots in 12th Bhava show more expenditure. Thus, if one worships Lord of 11th and travels in its direction, gains are sure to accrue.

11.4



Gains of other objectives



Gains of other objectives are seen from 11th Bhava from Bhava signifying the object. Thus 11th Bhava has primary Argala (intervention). For example, if one plans to have a building or property, 4th Bhava signifies the objective. 11th from 4th is 2nd Bhava ruling wealth / finance. Hence, to gain objective of purchase of a property, 2nd Bhava should be strong, that is native should be able to arrange finance for the same. Jaimini calls 11th Bhava as "Hara" in Sloka "Tanou Tana Danda Hara". Hara is a name for Lord Shiva, image of god signifying the end. It is only in the end that we determine the victor or the vanquished or the gain or denial. Thus, 11th Bhava from any Bhava is crucial to determining the end results. For example, 10th Bhava rules profession or career and 11th from this is 8th Bhava that determines the end of career or retirement. Again, 12th Bhava is 11th from 2nd and shows the end of wealth. Similarly, Lagna signifies life, status and power and 11th Bhava from this signifies end of life, status or power. If 11th is favorable, life, status or power is enjoyed for a long time and if unfavorable, the same is denied or lost. This is timed from Rudramsa (D-11). Manduka Dasa42 is applicable to Rudramsa chart and commences from 11th Bhava (Hara) from Rudramsa Lagna. Movement of Manduka signifies Rasi occupied by Hara from time to time. Manduka Dasa of Lagna or 8th Bhava in Rudramsa can cause defeat and destruction to native, specially if it is an odd Rasi.

11.5



Argala



12th, 2nd and 9th Bhava have primary Argala (intervention) on 11th Bhava by being in 2nd, 4th and 11th from it respectively. Thus the need to meet expenditure (12th Bhava), to accumulate wealth for various purposes (2nd Bhava) and good fortune (9th Bhava) can influence Bhava of gains. Malefic Grahas in these Bhavas can pressurize a person to resort to illegitimate income while benefic Grahas help one to meet the needs through legitimate means. For example, if Chandr is in 11th Bhava and Rahu is in 12th Bhava, then the gains are normally through mother or such sources indicated by Chandr. However, malefic Rahu in 12th Bhava will give various unwanted and sudden expenditures that will tempt native to illegal gains. In various texts we find dictums like "if Chandr is in 12th Bhava, native has good friends". Now, in 12th Bhava, Chandr will have Subhargala43 on 11th Bhava and this intervention gives good friends. Similarly, malefic Grahas in Lagna will have Argala on 11th Bhava and a lack or ideals or scruples could result in illegal gains.

11.6



Argala of 11th Bhava



11th Bhava has Argala on 10th, 8th, Lagna and 7th Bhava by being in 2nd, 4th, 11th and 5th respectively from these Bhavas. Depending on nature of Graha, these Bhavas will be promoted or destroyed by 11th Bhava. For example, if Surya is in 11th Bhava, it could influence 10th Bhava by indicating high public service. If Sani was in 11th Bhava, its Argala on 10th Bhava makes a person very hardworking, its Argala on 8th Bhava promotes longevity, its Argala on Lagna makes native orthodox and its Argala on 7th Bhava delays marriage or create separation / destruction of spouse. Results could be both positive and negative and can occur simultaneously during period of Graha.

11.7






Grahas in 11th Bhava should be examined from Argala perspective to determine nature of results. If Surya is in 11th Bhava, native is ambitious (Argala on 10th), rich (2nd Bhava has Argala on Surya) and famous (Argala on Lagna). If malefics afflict Surya, opposite results will accrue (that is Argala of Surya should normally be treated as beneficial unless it is afflicted when the same Argala shall be malefic and intervention will damage Bhavas where Surya intervenes). Since this is 7th from 5th Bhava, it can harm children, especially the eldest. Being in 8th (inheritance) from 4th Bhava as well as having Argala on 8th Bhava, a positive Surya gives paternal property. If Chandr is in 11th Bhava there will be many friends and a full Chandr will gives many gains and fulfill all desires. A weak Chandr causes Dot signifying influence in Astakavarga Chakra. A tool of Vedic astrology using Lagna and 7 Grahas from Surya to Sani (Astha - eight variables), whereby 8 different charts (Varga) are created. Summation of these is called Sarvastakavarga (lit. all Astakavarga). 42 Manduka means frog. Details can be had from Upadesa Sutras of Maharishi Jaimini. 43 Subha - beneficial, Argala - intervention. 40 41

fluctuation in incomes as it is the nature of Chandr to wane and wax. Its Argala on 1st and 10th Bhava can bring fame and success. This also gives popularity and competence. If Mangal is in 11th Bhava, native has many acquaintances, but hardly any friends. The gain is sudden and Argala on 10th Bhava and Lagna may result in some fighting or litigation. In positive, this gives employment in armed forces or police. Argala on 8th Bhava can indicate danger from accidents. Aspect of Mangal on 2nd Bhava and conjunction of 2nd Lord with Mangal in 11th gives a lot of money, but the child will speak late (Budh, significator of speech is inimical to Mangal). Normally, this delay is till first Narayana Dasa44. Its Argala on 7th Bhava can cause marital disharmony. Budh in 11th Bhava gives many friends and native has early gains, fulfilled hopes, harmonious marital relations, disinterest in sex (Sukr is debilitated in a Rasi of Budh and in 7th Bhava of which Sukr is significator. Thus, Budh tends to negate the influence of Sukr on 7th Bhava. It is for this very reason that emerald is not advised for newly married couples). Guru in 11th Bhava gives excellent friends, fulfilled hopes, freedom from debts and help from powerful people. Argala on 1st and 10th Bhava can bring fame and power. Sani in 11th has been extolled in various scriptures. However, native is a loner or has few friends and gets along well with elders. Its Argala on 10th Bhava causes setbacks and trouble in career and because of Argala on Lagna reputation may suffer. The hopes and aspirations may be dashed or delayed till 36th year. Although native looks healthy, aspect of Sani on Lagna damages health and gives internal weaknesses that could surface at the time of death or during Dasa of Sani. Longevity is assured. Rahu in 11th is a Rajyoga and excellent results have been attributed for this position. A weak or afflicted Rahu shows secret enmity and loss of reputation. Ketu gives sudden gain of money in 11th. Friendship is with questionable characters. Its Argala on 10th gives routine jobs while the same on Lagna indicates danger of accidents. Since it is very inimical to Chandr, Argala of 2nd Bhava on Ketu is undesirable as native lacks harmony in family life and his relationship with some family members is bad. In this manner, results of Grahas in 11th Bhava can be understood.

11.8






Placement of 11th Lord has a telling impact on longevity. In Lagna, 2nd or 8th Bhava, 11th Lord curtails longevity while its placement in 3rd, 5th, 7th or 11th Bhava shows long life. In any case, 11th Lord can be bad for health if associated with 2nd from Arudha Lagna. Like all other Lords, 2 Bhavas it influences will also be known by counting from 11th Bhava to its Lord and vice-versa. For example, if 11th Lord is in 7th Bhava, it is in 9th Bhava from its Rasi implying good fortune and a religious nature. Next point is that Rasis, Bhavas and Grahas associated with 11th Lord show sources of gain. If it is in 1st Bhava or aspects the same, gain is through one's own effort. If it is in 2nd Bhava, gains accrue by using family wealth or other assets. If it is in 7th Bhava, gain from business and in-laws is assured, while in 9th Bhava gain comes from higher learning, travel, father, temples etc. Similar deductions can be made from position of 11th Lord in different Arudha Padas. If 11th Lord is in Upapada, then native marries into a powerful or rich family while if in Matripada, native is happy and endowed with all comforts and vehicles. Bhava occupied by Labharoodha (A11) is always favored by native. For example, if A11 is in 9th Bhava, native adores his father. Labharoodha associating with Upapada shows that spouse has a good income. Bhava occupied by 11th Lord shows ill health for the relation. For example, if 11th Lord is in Lagna or aspects the same, native suffers while its placement in 7th Bhava or Upapada shows a sick spouse. In this manner, placement of 11th Lord can be examined. Vimsottari Dasa of 11th Lord is generally unfavorable.

Thus, exports ruled by Ketu are bound to fetch good profits. 11th Lord from Arudha Lagna is placed in Thula with exalted Sani and Sukr showing labor oriented work (Sani), related to garments (Sukr). Mangal and Rahu aspect 11th Bhava from AL indicating use of machines (Rahu) and the exports that will fetch good profits. Mangal and Surya aspecting 11th from AL show that exports will be to Japan and such other countries. Narayana Dasas begin from Thula (stronger than Mesha in Lagna). Dasas of Makara (21 - 25 years) and Kumbha (25 30 years) were of no avail. During Kumbha Dasa she had many setbacks and had to undergo tremendous suffering as attempts at business failed. Dasa of Meena (30 - 39 years) aspects 11th Bhava from AL Mithuna. With the advent of Meena Dasa in 1984 she established good contacts in foreign lands (note that Guru is exalted in 12th Bhava from AL and that Meena is 12th Bhava from Lagna). Thus, 12th Bhava became primary source of gains because it aspects 11th Bhava from AL. During these 9 years she was able to establish her business and achieve a fairly good position as an exporter. In queries pertaining to gain / income, 11th Bhava from AL plays a significant role. 10th Bhava from Navamsa Lagna / Karakamsa is also an important source of income. In this chart, 10th is Meena with Ketu (exports) in it aspected by Sukr (garments) from Navamsa Lagna. In Rasi chart, Chandr is in Vrischika and 11th Bhava is Kanya with Surya in it showing good political connection. This is again aspected by Ketu from Mithuna and Mangal & Rahu from Dhanur. Thus, by examination of 11th Bhava from Arudha Lagna Chart 137 and Chandr as well as Labhapada we can establish source of income / gain.

Dhanur. 11th Bhava therefrom in Thula unconjoined but aspected by Rahu (machines), Sukr (clothes, travelling, private sector administration etc.) and Ketu (computers etc.) by Rasi Dristi. It also has aspect of Sani (servant / service) by planetary sight. Sukr & Ketu conjunction is strongest influence and shall prevail. He is a manager in computer division in a private sector multinational company. Besides having considerable expertise in computers, he also travels throughout Delhi during the day and has a lot of jobs that require travelling outside. Dasa of Sukr started on 28th November 1990 and since then he has had a very stable job in company which is quite contrary to 8th lordship of Sukr. As 8th Lord in 6th Bhava, Sukr generates a Vipareeta Yoga and in 9th Bhava from Arudha Lagna it promises good fortune. Thus, good fortune came in the form of a stable respectable job, but for one reason or other the marriage (significator Sukr) is delayed. Labhapada (A11) is in Trikonas to Arudha Lagna showing easy gains, i.e. there will not be any major difficulty in servicing a job or holding on to it. A debilitated Sani in Labhapada promises a very good income after 36 years (natural year of Sani). Grahas in exaltation / debilitation are good for financial affairs. Once again it will be seen that 11th Bhava / Lord from AL (Sukr) has decided source of income as service (6th Bhava) in computer division (Ketu). Vimsottari Dasa has given very good results as Chandr is in Lagna - birth is in Krishna Paksha (dark fortnight) in a day (strong Lagna).

Its Lord Sukr is placed in Karkataka in 8th Bhava from AL in the company of Surya. Thus, primary source of income is government service and this will be first vocation of native. Labhapada (A11) is in a Trika from Arudha Lagna indicating difficulties / troubles in reaching his destined place of income. Native, although an engineer, preferred Gov. service. Chandr is dispositor of Surya & Sukr and aspects Labhapada & 11th Bhava from AL by Rasi Dristi. Budh also aspects Thula and Sani by Rasi Dristi, whereas Sani only has Papargala on Thula that is obstructed by Surya & Sukr. Chandr has Dhanargala on Sani that is equally obstructed by Ketu. Thus from Sani Dasa Ketu Antardasa till Sani Dasa Chandr Antardasa in 1991 native had a very difficult time due to untimely collapse of his father's business and various litigations etc. In Sani Dasa Chandr Antardasa Budh Pratyantardasa he jointed central government as an officer. Mutual aspect between Chandr and Budh has generated many Yogas including Sarada (Saraswati) Yoga. Since all of Sani, Chandr and Budh own / associate with 12th Bhava from Lagna, he had to shift residence in North Western direction (Chandr) from his home town for joining Gov. service. 11th Bhava from AL has determined the time and source of income whereas 12th Bhava from Lagna determine physical shifting of residence. Sani as Atmakarak in 11th shows that he has very few true friends and is friendly with his subordinates. Chandr in 12th Bhava has Subhargala on 11th giving many associates.

Rudramsa (D-11) & Manduka Dasa



Chart 139

 Arudha Lg: Karkataka (AL)  Labhapada: Thula (A11) Mahatma Gandhi (chart 139) was champion of Indian freedom movement against British colonial powers. In Rudramsa (D-11) Rudra Dwara is Rasi occupied by 8th Lord Guru, Kumbha. Rudra Dwara means doorway through which death comes. Rudra Bahya is Rasi causing death and in Rudramsa (D-11), this is Lagna itself. This is again Kumbha. Afflicted Rasis in D-11 chart are Vrishabha (Surya & Rahu), Karkataka (Mangal), Meena (Sani) and Vrischika (Chandr & Ketu). Of these Rasis, Meena aspects 8th Bhava (Kanya) and Karkataka aspects Lagna (Kumbha). Death is likely to occur during Dasa of a Rasi aspecting / in Lagna / 8th Bhava whichever is odd. Now, between Lagna and 8th Bhava, the former is an odd Rasi and shall determine period of death. Thus, death is to occur in Manduka Dasa of Karkataka. For details of Manduka Dasa please refer to Chapter III, Quarter III of Upadesa Sutras of Maharishi Jaimini. Manduka Dasa Rasi indicates immediate strategy employed by native whereas Rudramsa Lagna will indicate overall policy adopted towards war / politics in his life. In Rudramsa, Lagna is occupied by Guru (Om Tat Sat / truth / peace) and Budh (Mimamsa - compromise) and Mahatma Gandhi taught the most modern and spiritual approach of Ahimsa (non-violence) and Satyagraha (truthful path) in politics. This path was followed ever since its inception in South Africa, but with the advent of Karkataka Dasa in October 1941 with bellicose Mangal in it Gandhiji suddenly changed strategy to a more aggressive Quit India movement (in 1942). Just as Lagna determines death / Chart 140 defeat for native when Manduka Dasa comes to Rasi, similarly, death / defeat of enemy is seen from 6th Bhava. Thus, during Manduka Dasa of Karkataka the British would surely withdraw as it is 6th Bhava. Since Sani and Guru are associated in a powerful Parivartan (exchange) Yoga, both aggressor and native will be killed (JS 3.3.58). Aspect of Guru shows burning fires and riots (JS 3.3.80) while aspect of Budh on Manduka Dasa Rasi and its conjunction with Rudramsa Lagna shows disputes and quarrels (JS 3.3.79) like the partition of India & Pakistan. All these things happened and British left India. Partition occurred with riots etc. and finally Gandhiji died.

Iraq war Chart 138 140 - Iraq, "born" on 3rd October 1932, at Baghdad, 00:01 am, 44 E 25.  Arudha Lg: Thula (AL)  Satrupada: Mesha (A6) Chart 140 is mundane horoscope for birth of Iraq. 10th Lord Mangal in Lagna indicates that army shall have an important domination / say in governance of nation. Arudha Lagna is in Thula with emotional Chandr in it showing policy making that will be more emotional (based on popular consensus) than logical. Satrupada (A6) in Mesha shows existence of powerful enemies. In Rudramsa (D-11) a malefic Rasi Makara is in Lagna and its Lord Sani has gone to 8th Bhava (of death) in another malefic fiery Rasi Simha with Ketu (armed forces, aerial direction). In any Rudramsa chart, 1st and 8th Bhava are vital to longevity and health. Malefic Rasis in these Bhavas or these Bhavas associating with malefics threatens danger / death during Manduka Dasa. page ~ 155 ~




Manduka Dasa begins from 11th Bhava (Vrischika) and progresses in reverse direction as shown in table. Dasa of Simha, 8th Bhava having Sani and Ketu in it, is from 1987 to 1995. This clearly indicates a war and considerable destruction / defeat due to one's own mistake (Sani is Lagnesh, Ketu mistake). Simha shows terrible fires and Ketu indicated aerial power of enemy that will cause devastation and complete destruction of Iraqi forces. Iraq war was due to attempted take over of Kuwait by Iraqi forces (mistake of Iraq itself). The rest is history. However, after 1995, Manduka Dasa of Mithuna has started and Rudra has entered enemy's Bhava (6th Bhava Mithuna). Chandr in 6th indicates that its enemy (USA - Bill Clinton) may suffer from loss of reputation (Chandr). Guru and Budh in 6th threathen fires, riots and disputes between its other enemies (i.e. Kuwait, Saudi Arabia etc. may have some difference, England and other Chart 141 European nations who cooperated with USA earlier will not cooperate as much in the future). Mangal in 6th threatens strife / war among erstwhile allies. However, since 6th Bhava is a beneficial Rasi much of negative indications, war etc. will not materialize. After 1995, Iraq will be in a stronger position to bargain, but it will again be making a mistake.

It will be seen that in Rudramsa (D-11) 6th Bhava is far too powerful and beneficial than Lagna. Hence, it will be in the best interests of Iraq and world peace to forsake its aggressive posture.

 Arudha Lg: Mithuna (AL)  USA President 1933 - 1945 In chart 141, Arudha Lagna is in 11th Bhava Mithuna with a powerful Chandra Mangala Yoga that shows bravery and success. Rudramsa (D-11) has Simha rising devoid of any conjunctions whereas 6th Bhava of enemy has Surya (fires / destruction of Dharma / order), Rahu (great devastation and uncontrolled fires) and debilitated Guru (riots, fires etc.) indicating war in enemy's Bhava (6th). Surya as Lagna Lord in 6th Bhava shows that native (US forces) go to enemy's ground (Germany) to fight battles. 6th Bhava has its malefic Lord Sani in Trikonas in Kanya. This Rasi is also aspected by a malefic Mangal from 8th Bhava. Meena (sea) showing initial setbacks caused by his enemies ruled by Mangal (Japanese) to the naval bases (Pearl Harbor). It is pertinent to note that Manduka Dasa of Kanya from 1937 to 1946 with Sani (6th Lord) shows that finally enemy will be defeated. Its aspect on 8th Bhava resulted in tremendous sudden losses caused by surprise attacks like bombing of Pearl Harbor (Mangal in Meena). Victory / defeat will be decided on the larger number of malefic influences on 1st / 8th Bhava for self and 6th for enemy. In D-11 chart, other than Mangal no other malefic is adverse to 8th except for Sani's aspect. Instead, 6th has Surya, Rahu and Sani in Trikona. Presence of 6th Lord Sani in Manduka Dasa Rasi Kanya show that Rudra (god of death) would be on 6th Lord / enemy. This clinched the issue in favor of allies.

Since Manduka Dasa did not aspect 6th Bhava it clearly shows reluctance of U.S. President to join the world war. However, Antardasa of Meena (sea) in 8th Bhava with Mangal (sudden attack) between July 1941 to April 1942 proved to be otherwise. Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor on 7th December 1941 in early hours (Brahma Muhurta - Meena). This surprise attack on Hawaii island U.S. naval base resulted in destruction of 8 battleships and other warships, crafts, hangers, air fields etc. that forced USA to join World War II. The tide turned in favor of allied forces from Makara Antardasa (January - October 1943) page ~ 156 ~




and they went on to win the war. President Roosevelt died in office (in his 4th term) on 12th April 1945 in Vrischika Antardasa (11th Antardasa). Vrischika is in Trikonas to malefic Mangal in 8th Bhava. Guru is 8th Lord in a saturnine Rasi and aspects Sani (both aggressor & native are killed). It may be noted that Manduka Dasa of Kanya with Sani in it marked period of 2nd world war. Sani, as Lord of Makara (Rasi that debilitates Guru (world peace) is significator for end of world peace and consequential world war. It is also noteworthy that in Rudramsa (D-11) of Adolf Hitler (next chart) Manduka Dasa was of Rasi having Sani.

Rudramsa is the most important division of a chart to determine war & peace. Following principles can be used: (a) Dasa of 1st / 8th Bhava, whichever is a male Rasi or afflicted by malefics can give death / defeat. (b) Dasa of 8th Bhava or Rasi having significator of 8th Bhava (Sani) results in destruction of peace and fight / wars can result. This will not happen in Dasa of 8th Bhava if it is a benefic or only has beneficial conjunctions. (c) Dasa of 1st Bhava or of Rasi having Surya / Mangal (Atma / physical body) can be harmful for health. (d) Budh shows disputes whereas Guru shows fires and other natural calamities. (e) Rahu Manduka Dasa can be very evil. Chart 142 Chart 139 142 - Adolf Hitler, born on 20th April 1889, 06:30 pm LMT, 48 N 00, 13 E 00. Lg

Chart 142 is horoscope of Adolf Hitler, the cause of World War II. 8th Lord Budh is in Vrishabha. Rudra Dwara and Rudra Bahya is Vrischika. These are aspected by Chandr, Guru and Budh indicating great mental agony, fires and natural / man-made disasters like world war (Guru afflicted by Rudra) and disputes (Budh) like the World War II. Compare this Rudramsa to that of President Roosevelt (chart 141). Both have Guru debilitated in Makara (end of peace) and were running Manduka Dasa of Rasi having Sani. Simha Dasa (1937 - 1945) marked period of WWII. With the advent of Mithuna Manduka Dasa in 1945 Hitler committed suicide in a cellar in Berlin. Budh indicated that a close ally / friends finally causes death / defeat. Till his death Hitler kept on repeating that he had been betrayed. However, we should give the devil his due. He was decent enough to marry his long standing mistress Eva Braun one day before they committed suicide. Sukr aspects Rasi Mithuna in Rudramsa. However, Rudra Bahya is Vrischika and in Rasi chart, Upapada (signifying marriage) is in Vrischika. Besides precise timing of world war, Rudramsa also indicates defeat & death of Hitler. Readers will note that Rahu is in 12th from Arudha Lagna. This will produce a great believer and can produce a great saint or devil worshipper. It is believed that Hitler often heard voices and spoke of a voice that bade him to act or directed his effort.

Chart 143

In chart 143, Arudha Lagna is in 11th Bhava in Makara afflicted by conjunction of Sani and Ketu. Chandr, although in debility has got Neechabhanga due to an exalted and Vargottama Sukr in Lagna. Thus, Balaristha Yogas are cancelled and although native was born prematurely in 7th month, he survived. Malefics in 11th Bhava or 11th Lord can be a dire malefic, especially during its Dasa. Thus, malefic Ketu in 11th Bhava conjoining 11th Lord shows danger of accidents, especially when it affects AL or its 8th Bhava. During Ketu Dasa Sani Antardasa, in his 6th year, the school bus of native collided in the ghat roads of Orissa. There was a miraculous escape and none of children were injured. However, the left eyebrow suffered a severe cut (Chandr in debility in Jyestha Gandanta and Sukr in 3rd from AL - Chandr (left eye) is also in Badhak from AL).

Guru is placed in a Trika (6th Bhava) from Lagna and is aspected by Sani. Both Sani and Mangal aspect AL in Meena, showing danger of an accident. Dasa of 11th Lord is normally unfavorable.

12th Bhava deals with punishment (significator Sani), long journeys (significator Sukr), misfortune & bad habits (significator Rahu), bed pleasure (significator Sukr), sleep (significator Chandr), meditation (significator Ketu), donation (significator Guru), secret enemies (significator Rahu), Heaven (significator Guru), left eye (significator Chandr and Sukr for eyesight) and expenditure (significator Sani).

Pleasures of bed



Pleasures of bed or its denial either due to divorce, separation or spiritual discipline or simply misfortune are studied from 12th Bhava and Upapada (Arudha Pada of 12th Bhava, also called the Gauna Pada). The dictum "Karaka Bhava Nasa" has been found to apply especially when natural significator of marriage Sukr is Lord of a malefic Bhava like 6th or 12th and is placed in 12th Bhava. This causes Vipareeta Yoga but can lead to loss of spouse. Upapada and marital bliss has been explained under 7th Bhava. Since Argala of 2nd Bhava (eating) on Lagna is obstructed by 12th Bhava (fasting), any person passing through a troubled married life should fast on the days ruled by Lord of Upapada.

12.3



12th as secret Bhava



12th is a secret Bhava and if 10th Lord is associated with this Bhava, it can show work related to secret societies (significator Ketu), espionage (significator Rahu), counter-espionage (significator Ketu), investigation etc. If nodes are not involved, secret service related work will not be there and native will travel to a foreign country for his employment. Sukr and 12th Lord should be strong to show this foreign travel and residence. 7th, 9th and 12th Bhava have a vital say in foreign affairs and residence with the latter being deciding factor. 4th and 8th Bhava, being Trikonas to 12th Bhava influence decision to travel abroad. Malefics in 4th Bhava indicate disturbed domestic affairs in hometown that influences decision to leave for a foreign land, whereas 8th Bhava can show foreign travel for medical treatment or any other reason that Grahas in 8th indicate. 7th Bhava is equally important in foreign travel and

page ~ 158 ~




residence as its significator is Sukr. Jalapatha Saham45 and Parades Saham46 should be examined in case of a doubt. A question often asked is as to what exactly constitutes foreign travel? Whether it implies crossing national boundaries like cross-country travel or whether it will mean travel within country where the culture is quite different? National boundaries have been created largely on the basis of geographical and cultural differentia. In countries like India where there can be a very different culture from one region to another, case should be treated as travel and change of residence. Astrologically, difference would be in placement of Lord of Lagna. For example, if Lagna Lord is in Lagna and in Vyayamsa47, native travels to a different place in country for his livelihood. Similarly, if Lagna Lord is in 7th, 9th or 12th Bhava and is also in Lagnamsa48, native lives in a different region from his birth place.

12.4



Self-undoing



12th has been aptly called Bhava of self-undoing whereby ones ego is destroyed and soul is purified for onward journey to Heaven. It can show terrible misfortunes whereby one is punished for sins of Karma49 or can be all forgiven like Meena 12th Bhava of natural zodiac. 4th, 8th and 12th Bhava represent the state of individual in his last period, time of death and after death respectively. Materialism and its fruits and joy are represented by demonic teacher Sukr while spiritualism and its fruits are represented by Divine teacher Guru. Thus if spiritual Grahas like Surya, Guru and Ketu are strongly influencing Lagna or 10th Bhava, they would indicate low materialism and high spiritualism whereas, if Chandr, Sukr and Rahu are strongly influencing Lagna or 10th, they indicate high materialism and poor spiritualism. Reverse will hold true for 12th Bhava. For example, in horoscope of Mrs. Indira Gandhi or J.R.D. Tata it is natural to expect a powerful materialistic Yoga like combination of Sukr and Chandr in Navamsa Lagna or Trikonas that aspect Lagna. Thus, Lagna indicates what a person accepts and 12th Bhava indicates what one rejects or loses. If Rahu is in 7th or 12th Bhava from Arudha Lagna, native rejects the fruits of materialism completely and becomes very spiritual. Similarly, Chandr in 12th Bhava from Arudha Lagna shows loss of Rajyoga (or kingly status) while its placement in 12th Bhava from Lagna makes domestic / personal affairs go awry as native is callous about material benefits. This position of Chandr is essential for Shiva Yoga as it makes native selflessly dedicated to some cause (i.e. Adi Sankara's dedication to revival of Hinduism). 12th Bhava from Lagna and Arudha Lagna are slightly different in that they show self-rejection and unwanted loss respectively.

12.5



Ista Devata



Ista Devata50 is seen from 12th Bhava from Karakamsa51. Grahas from Surya to Ketu indicate Shiva, Gouri, Kartikeya, Vishnu, Sambhasiva, Lakshmi, Narayana, Durga and Ganapati respectively as per Jaimini. Parasara and others refer to Ista Devata as Shiva, Parvati (alias Gouri), Kartikeya (alias Skanda), Vishnu, Indra, Sachi Devi (wife of Indra going by principle of Sukr as significator of wife and feminine gender. Lakshmi as the consort of Vishnu is also in the same lines), and Brahma. We can add Chandi and Vinayaka (Ganapati) to this list for Rahu and Mokshakarak Ketu respectively on the basis of dictum "Kaloh Chandi Vinayaka". Similarly for material benefits, 6th Bhava from Atmatyakaraka52 determines deity while Bhratrukaraka determines Devata as Guru or teacher. In this manner, 3 Charakarakas (temporary significators) Atma, Amatya and Bhratri play a crucial role in determining deity / personification of god, who will give ultimate emancipation, look after native in present birth and guide native as a teacher respectively. Trikonas to Karakamsa indicate knowledge of secret Mantra53, Yantra and Tantra depending on the number of malefics as 2, 3 or all 4. However, if malefics are in Trikonas to Navamsa Lagna, they make life miserable and native suffers. There lies vital difference between Karakamsa and Navamsa Lagna. Similarly, Vimsamsa54 should be examined in detail to assess deity.

12.6



Bhakti Marga



5th Bhava shows Bhakti Marga (path of adoration and selfless dedication) and Mantra as Arudha Pada of 5th Bhava is also called Mantrapada. 9th Bhava shows the temple and Japa or constant repetition of Mantra and other spiritual Jalapatha Saham - water / ocean crossing point (JS: Kar 15 - Sa + Lg + 30° for day birth or JS: Sa - Kar 15 + Lg + 30° for night birth). 30° is not to be added if Lg is between position of minuend and subtrahend. 46 Pradesa Saham - foreign residence point (JS: 9th Bh - 9th Lord +Lg + 30° for day birth or JS: 9th Lord - 9th Bh + Lg + 30° for night birth). 30° is not to be added if Lg is between position of minuend and subtrahend. 47 Navamsa of Rasi in 12th Bhava in Rasi chart. For example, if Lagna is Mesha, 12th Bhava is Meena and any Graha placed in Meena Navamsa is said to be Vyayamsa. 48 Navamsa of Rasi in Lagna in Rasi chart. For example, if Lagna, is Mesha, any Graha placed in Mesha Navamsa is said to be in Lagnamsa. 49 Deeds or actions. Bad Karma results in punishment. 50 Chief deity indicating passage of soul. Parasara and Jaimini Maharishis have attached highest importance to Ista Devata seen from 12th Bhava from Atmakaraka. Bondage and emancipation are to be examined from this. 51 Navamsa of Atmakaraka is called Karakamsa. 12th Bhava from this in Navamsa chart itself. 52 Atmatyakaraka is Graha with 2nd highest longitude irrespective of Rasis, while Bhratrukaraka is 3rd highest in 8 Grahas temporary significator scheme. 53 Mantra implies all mystical formulae using sound vibrations for controlling and directing hidden forces of the mind (Mana). Yantra implies additional use of materials like drawings, stones, gems etc. Tantra includes all magic or spiritualism of the highest level going beyond limitations of physical body (Tana). 54 D-20 chart that is used to determine spiritual progress. 45

practices. 12th Bhava deals with such powerful occult practices as meditation, Samadhi, Pranayama etc. Jaimini has aptly added 12th Bhava to signify the nose. Hence in Pranayama, breath is controlled and stopped by holding the nose and Mantra is recited (5th from 8th Bhava - Yam). 4th Bhava shows family deity (Kula Devata) who is worshipped for happiness and unity of family. 12th Bhava is Bhava of meditation of all types - Dhyana (conscious), Dharana (transcendental) and Samadhi which is the best way to relax as well as to attain perfect peace. This is also Bhava of sleep and the mind and body relaxes and gains strength.

12.7



Expenditure



Coming to expenditure, very Grahas indicating gains in 11th Bhava from Arudha Lagna will indicate sources of losses if associated with 12th Bhava from AL. Surya will indicate losses due to father while Chandr due to mother and so on. Native will normally like people / relations indicated by Grahas in 12th from AL, but the latter will hate him thereby causing losses. Hence they fall in category of secret enemies. If Lagna and 12th Lord are associated and Sukr also associated with 12th Lord, native will make huge donations for spiritual purposes. Malefics associating with 12th Bhava show loss of sleep and trouble from secret enemies. The best way to appease Grahas in 12th Bhava is to fast on days ruled by them.

12.8



Argala



12th Bhava has Argala on 11th Bhava by being in 2nd from it. Thus, the need for meeting expenditure drives a person to augment income. Malefic Grahas associating with 12th Bhava or Lord show sources of expenditure. If Lagna Lord or dispositor of Atmakarak were to aspect 12th Bhava from it, a spendthrift is born. Similar result will accrue if 12th Lord from Lagna aspects Lagna or 12th Lord from Atmakaraka aspects Atmakaraka. Thus, Atmakaraka Rasi should be treated as a Lagna and planetary positions studied. Similarly various other Karakas give details about other relations. 12th Bhava also has Argala on 9th, 8th and 2nd Bhava thereby having the power to directly influence matters in these Bhavas. For example, first sign seen in people practicing transcendental mediation (TM) is that their appetite increases. Thus, positive vibrations of 12th Bhava generated through TM are immediately transmitted to 2nd (eating), 8th, 9th and 11th Bhava. While effects on 2nd Bhava are immediately visible, those on other Bhavas show up gradually in the form of better health, better fortune, religiosity and higher income. Similarly, 1st, 2nd (only malefics), 3rd, 4th and 10th Bhava have Argala on 12th Bhava and can influence its affairs. Thus, poor health, bad speech / food, excess of sex life, general happiness and workload tend to disturb meditation practice or sleep and will bring negative influences on 12th Bhava.

12.9






Grahas in 12th Bhava have a bearing in as much the same manner as Argala. Their lordships will also affect beneficence / maleficence of Bhava. For example, if Surya is in 12th from Arudha Lagna, father may be short-lived. If in 12th Bhava from Upapada Lagna, father-in-law may be short-lived. In 12th from Lagna, the job is quite insecure as it is in 8th from 5th Bhava ruling authority. As significator of Lagna it shows residence in a foreign land. Powerful politicians and superiors become secret enemies as Surya signifying such people is in Bhava of secret enemies. Chandr, Surya and Lagna are controlling stars of 1st, 2nd and 3rd portion of life. Thus with Surya in 12th Bhava, at least 1/3rd part of life is in dire straits but native is self made. Surya is a loner by nature and its Argala on 2nd Bhava can distance native from his family. Its Argala on 11th Bhava can give gains from Government if Surya is Lord of a beneficial Bhava. Its Argala on 9th Bhava can give great spiritual attainments especially if it is in 12th Bhava from Karakamsa (i.e. Sri Ramakrishna Paramhamsa). In this manner, effect of other Grahas can also be examined and should be studied from standard texts.

12th Lord



12th Lord causes losses and grief to Bhava it is placed in. If 12th Lord is placed in 1st, loss of health is shown while in 2nd, it shows loss of wealth. 12th Lord placed in Dusthana, especially with Lord of a Dusthana or a natural malefic causes Vipareeta Rajyoga. If 12th Lord conjoins a natural benefic or Yogakaraka, it gives Rajyoga during its period provided it is associated with 10th Bhava in Dasamsa. Similarly, Grahas placed in 12th Bhava show losses and grief to Bhavas they own besides indicating a poor background. For example, if 7th Lord is in 12th Bhava, spouse could be from a poor family or if dispositor of Sukr is in 12th Bhava, wife will hail from a poor family. 12th Bhava is the only Bhava where Badhakesh gives excellent results. For example, for Kanya or Mithuna Lagna, Badhaksthana (obstruction Bhava) is 7th and its Lord Guru if placed in 12th Bhava gives excellent results. Its Dasa will be marked with joy and great prosperity.

 Arudha Lg: Makara (AL) In chart 145, Vrishabha a fixed Rasi is in 12th Bhava with its Lord Sukr in it afflicted by 11th and 6th Lord Mangal. Irrespective of Rasis, Sukr in 12th threatens loss of spouse. Sukr is 5th Lord and shows that event could be tentatively timed around period of birth of children. Sukr is dispositor of 7th Lord Guru and its placement in 12th Bhava can be very damaging for affairs of 7th Bhava as it indicates loss of spouse or severe ill health of spouse.

Upapada Upapada (Arudha of 12th Bhava) is in Kumbha with Rahu in it. This makes Guru all the more malefic for marital affairs as being 2nd Lord from Upapada it is placed in a Dusthana (8th Bhava) from Navamsa Lagna showing early widowhood.

Shoola Dasa Shoola Dasa of native and spouse begin from 7th Bhava (as explained in an earlier Chapter). Guru is fixed significator (Sthira Karaka - used for longevity) of spouse and is placed in Thula. Death of spouse can occur in Trikonas to Rasi occupied by Guru. Kumbha has Rahu and is aspected by Sani, Budh, Surya, Chandr & Guru. Beneficial aspects could provide relief, but effects of Rahu dominate and danger of widowhood exists in Kumbha Shoola Dasa. Shoola Dasa beginning from Dhanur arrive at Kumbha between 18 - 27 years of age (i.e. 1988 - 1997) during which widowhood should be expected, especially during birth of a child.

Transits (1) Sani - Gaunapada (or Upapada UL) should always be auspicious for a happy married life. Marital tension can be easily timed by transit of Sani over Upapada or Rasi occupied by Lord of Upapada or aspecting it. In chart 145, Upapada is in Kumbha occupied by one of its Lords Rahu as its other Lord Sani is in debility. This makes Upapada inauspicious and weak. When Sani transits Kumbha, it will afflict Upapada as well as cast an aspect on its Lord in Mesha. Transit would occur between 7th March 1993 to 4th June 1995 during which marital discord / loss of spouse can be expected. (2) Rahu - transit of Rahu should afflict natal Guru and 7th Bhava / Lord to indicate widowhood. Rahu transited Thula, Rasi occupied by Guru and 7th Lord between 3rd May 1994 and 20th November 1995 during which unfortunate event was destined to occur. Now, using Shoola Dasa, transit Sani and Rahu, period can be narrowed down to 3rd May 1994 to 4th June 1995.

Vimsottari Dasa During this period native would be under Vimsottari Dasa of Sukr and Antardasa of Guru, which, as indicated earlier threatens life of spouse. Guru is Chara Darakarak and its period can be bad for spouse. Second son of native was born on 16th May 1995 and her husband expired on 29th May 1995 in Sukr Dasa Guru Antardasa Chandr Pratyantardasa. Surya was in Vrishabha in transit in 12th Bhava and Chandr was also in Vrishabha in 12th Bhava at the date of death of husband. Tithi at death was Pratipad (1) ruled by Surya in Chart 146 11th Bhava in natal chart. Chart 144 146 - female, born on 2nd October 1969, at Udhampur, 06:23 am, 32 N 55, 75 E 07. Lg Ch Bu R Sk Ra

 Upapada: Thula (UL) In chart 146 Sukr is in 12th Bhava in fixed Rasi afflicted by 3rd Lord Ketu. Sukr is also Lord of Upapada and is placed in a Dusthana in Rasi chart and in debility in Navamsa chart. Arudha Lagna is severely afflicted by aspect of Sani, Rahu and Mangal while Upapada is aspected by Rahu (widowhood). Conjunction of Budh and Guru is laudable especially with Budh in exaltation, but they have conjunction of Surya, 12th Lord indicating loss of reputation (Lagna), happiness (4th Lord Guru) and spouse (7th Lord Guru). Surya is also closely conjunct Lagna and placed in Navamsa Lagna thereby gaining the strength to indicate its results. Navamsa which is litmus test for marital bliss has Lagna Lord Sukr in debility with Surya in Lagna. Surya in Lagna is not very malefic, but when 7th Lord conjoins Sani in Simha, it can be evil. 2nd Lord from Upapada is Ketu (it may be noted that Ketu is stronger than Mangal) and conjoins Sukr (already weak in debilitated Navamsa). Ketu is in 12th Bhava in Rasi chart and 8th Bhava in Navamsa chart. Compare this to chart 145 where Sukr is also in 12th Bhava and 2nd Lord from Upapada Lagna is placed in 8th Bhava from Navamsa Lagna. Widowhood is indicated. First person she was engaged to committed suicide. Second and third engagements resulted in marriages, but both spouses expired early. In both charts 145 & 146 it will be seen that Sukr is in 12th Bhava as 7th Lord is afflicted by 12th Lord or its dispositor is in 12th Bhava. Chart 147 Chart 145 147 - male, born on 3rd November 1986, at Delhi, 10:23 am, 28 N 40, 77 E 13.  Arudha Lg: Meena (AL) In chart 147, Sukr is in 12th Bhava and is aspected by Rahu. Sukr is Lord of Navamsa Lagna and has conjoined Mangal while Rahu is in 7th Bhava in Navamsa Lagna. Upapada is in Karkataka and its Lord Chandr is severely afflicted by Sani and Rahu in Meena. 2nd Lord from Upapada is Surya and is placed in debility. There are 4 Grahas before Surya indicating that loss of one or more wives is expected. Besides Sukr in 12th Bhava, 2 Lords of 12th (Mangal & Ketu) are in 10th Bhava afflicting Budh and Guru Lords of 7th Bhava and Lagna. Compare this to chart 146 where the same combination of Budh and Guru in Kanya as 1st and 7th Lords exists and is afflicted by 12th Lord. Sani would be transiting over Meena Rasi occupied by Lord of Upapada (Chandr) between February 1996 to April 1998 which would be a very difficult time for marriage. First girl native was engaged to committed suicide. Second marriage ended in disaster as wife developed bone cancer and native's business etc. flopped. When Lord of Upapada conjoin Sani, health of spouse could suffer during its period. Vimsottari Dasa - Antara of Sukr - Sani was from September 1994 to November 1997 during which period all this happened. Marriage ended in a divorce in mid 1997. Although native had many proposals after that, he was advised to wait till April 1998 when Sani would leave Meena and Chandr would be free from affliction. Simultaneously, Rahu would also leave Kanya where 7th Lord Budh and Guru are placed.

Chart 148 is horoscope of a Krishna devotee Sri Guruttama Dasa. Arudha Lagna has combination of Budh (Sri Vishnu) and Moksha Karak Ketu in it. Rahu in 7th or 12th Bhava from Arudha Lagna makes a person very spiritual. Narayana Dasa after 9 years of age show great turmoil (Makara Dasa 9 - 20 years). Dasa of Vrishabha in 9th Bhava and Sukr is Lord of Vimsamsa (D-20) Lagna (Vimsamsa Lagna is in Vrishabha). Thus Dasa of Vrishabha will show growth of spiritualism etc. During this period he took keen interest in spiritualism development and joined ISKCON, and was initiated into Mahamantra. Atmakarak is Rahu showing that native is a born spiritualist / religious person, especially when Rahu is in 7th from Arudha Lagna (see chart of Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa). Karakamsa is Thula with Rahu and Mangal in it showing some terrible emotional disturbances. Mangal is Devatakaraka (DK) representing Guru and is placed in 12th Bhava from Lagna (Bhava of self undoing). Native did progress spiritually, but saw a great emotional setback in the fall of his teacher. 12th Bhava from Karakamsa (Navamsa of Atmakarak) is Kanya that is unoccupied. Hence Lord of Kanya (Budh) shows Ista Devata as Sri Mahavishnu. Among Trikonas to AK the only natural benefic in strength happens to be Budh in Mithuna again indicating Sri Vishnu (now Parasara teaches that 10 Grahas (9 Grahas from Surya to Ketu and Lagna) represent Dasavatara of Bhagwan. Surya - Sri Rama, Chandr - Sri Krishna, Mangal - Sri Narasimha, Budh - Sri Budha, Guru - Sri Vamana, Sukr - Sri Parasurama, Sani - Sri Koorma, Rahu - Sri Varaha, Ketu - Sri Matsya and Lagna - Sri Kalkin). Having ascertained from Navamsa that Ista Devata is Sri Vishnu, look into Vimsamsa where Chandr is in 5th Bhava to clearly indicate specific form of Sri Krishna. With the advent of Sukr Dasa native settled in a married life but decided not to have children (Sukr and Budh are in Trikonas to Saptamsa Lagna aspected by Rahu). The couple travel throughout Europe selling merchandise. Profits are used to build a temple of Sri Jagannath (Krishna). Sukr in 11th from Arudha Lagna shows gain / income by efforts of the couple while luminaries in 12th Bhava show the use of fruits for building a temple especially when 12th Lord from Lagna and 12th from AL, Surya & Mangal respectively, are involved in a powerful Parivartana Yoga.

Chart 149

 Arudha Lg: Dhanur (AL)  Atmakarak: Chandr In chart 149, Lagna and 12th Lord conjoin in Kumbha (saturnine Rasi). Involvement of Sukr indicates foreign residence. Arudha Lagna (AL) is in Simha with Mokshakarak Ketu in it indicating that direction of life shall be towards final emancipation from cycle of rebirth. Navamsa Lagna conjoining Atmakarak Chandr indicates a powerful Rajyoga that will function within boundaries of renunciation and will make him a senior monk in ISKCON (religious order of Srila Prabhupada). Karakamsa is Kanya with Surya in 12th in its own Rasi showing that Ista Devata should be Lord Siva or Sri Rama. Budh is very strong in Trikonas to Karakamsa and aspects 12th Bhava from it (Simha) by Rasi Dristi modifying above reading to Sri Vishnu. Now, in Vimsamsa, Surya and Chandr are very strong in Trikonas. In 5th Bhava, Chandr clearly indicates Bhaktimarga of Sri Krishna. Travel to India would be an important event in his life. 12th Lord Mangal conjoins Sukr (significator for travel), Guru (spiritualism, India) and Rahu. Rahu is also very page ~ 163 ~




spiritually disposed in chart as it is in 7th Bhava from AL and will indicate foreign travel and residence for the sake of spiritual growth. Thus in Guru Dasa Rahu Antardasa, native left comforts of USA for life of a monk in India. Lord of Lagna, Sukr conjoining 12th Lord in a saturnine Rasi will surely show foreign residence. In Sani Dasa Sukr Antardasa, he had applied and obtained an Indian citizenship! He happens to be among 5 (few) foreigners who have really accepted renunciation (renunciation of citizenship of USA is really a difficult decision implying complete and total change). He has lived in India for about 10 years now. Benefics in 3rd & 6th Bhava from Arudha Lagna indicate renunciation. In chart of Sri Mahanidhi Swami, Budh & Chandr are the only benefics in these Bhavas. Hence constant recitation of name of Sri Krishna resulted in renunciation and high spiritual attainments. Vimsottari Dasas of Sani (upto November 2007), Budh (November 2024) and Ketu are to follow and residence shall continue to be in India. From above explanation it is evident that Dasa of Sani indicates Tapasya (meditation, Siddhi etc.) while great spiritual attainments will be seen during Budh Dasa, especially in Antardasa of Atmakarak Chandr. During such a period, a vision of Sri Jagannath (Krishna) is likely. Dasa of Mokshakarak Ketu will also be spiritually very rewarding. Thus decision to renounce his last straw to materialism (citizenship) shall not go in vain.

Sani is a Yogakarak for chart and owns 4th Bhava controlling education while it is placed in 11th and aspects Lagna having Sukr. 12th Lord Budh is also 9th Lord and shows foreign residence due to higher education, especially when placed in Meena Navamsa in Lagna. Both Sani and Budh have directional strength in Navamsa. In Chaturvimsamsa (D-24 - education), Lagna is Thula and Sukr is placed in 10th in company of exalted Guru, Rahu & Ketu. 9th Lord Budh ruling higher education, is also 12th Lord (foreign residence) and is placed in 7th Bhava (away from home). Thus, higher education is destined away from home in a foreign land. Rasi exchange Parivartan Yoga between Chandr & Guru and placement of Lagnesh & 5th Lord (Rahu) in Karkataka shows that education will be related to such lines ruled by Chandr like eating, home management etc. During Sani Dasa Sukr Antardasa in January 1998 native left for higher studies in Europe. 4th Lord in Rasi chart is Sani which is placed in Vrischika in D-24 chart. Thus, Narayana Dasa of D-24 chart shall start from Vrischika. Since Sani is placed in starting Rasi, Dasas will be regular and zodiacal and normal Padakrama (jumping to every 6th Rasi) will not be used. Dasa of Makara is from 16 - 18 years of age and Rasi is aspected by Sani and Surya showing some frustration and mediocre performance. Next Dasa of Kumbha is aspected by exalted Guru, Lagnesh Sukr and 9th Lord Budh and nodes (foreign) showing realization of hopes, good performance etc. Antardasas begin from Rasi occupied by Lord of Dasa Rasi. Thus, Rahu stronger co-Lord of Kumbha is placed in Karkataka to initiate Antardasa of 7 months each. Plans to go abroad for higher studies were made in Mithuna Antardasa and with the advent of Vrishabha Antardasa (8th Bhava) Sukr & page ~ 164 ~

Sukr gets cancellation of debility due to Budh (Vargottama) in a Kendra from Lagna. Thus, foreign travel and residence due to higher education is indicated. Sani is 12th Lord from Arudha Lagna and is placed in a movable Rasi as Rahu coLord of Kumbha 12th Bhava from AL is placed therein. Unfortunately both Sani & Rahu have a Papakartari Yoga on AL and Sani will be transiting Meena (AL) between February 1996 - April 1998. Native left for England in Dassehra (late 1997) for taking PLAB test in November 1997. Unfortunately Rahu Dasa Sani Antardasa was till November 1997 and transit Sani was also unfavorable in AL. He was not successful. In D-24 chart, Thula is in Lagna and both Sani and Rahu are in 9th & 7th Bhava respectively. Sani is in mutual aspect to Guru, 3rd Lord in Dhanur. Thus, while foreign travel came through in Rahu Sani success in examination was not given. Budh is dispositor of Yogakarak Sani and is aspected by it. It is also 12th Lord and 9th Lord promising foreign residence for higher education. Its position in 11th from Chaturvimsamsa Lagna is very favorable for realization of hopes in educational activities. Budh is very strong in Vargottama position and native will again take PLAB test and ECFMG test (that are essential for higher medical education in American universities) in 1998. In early 1996 when this native was finishing medical college, this scribe had predicted early marriage with a beautiful girl of own choice, birth of a son in Rahu - Budh period and higher studies with a brilliant medical career. On 1st March 1998 native's father wrote to confirm that native had passed PLAB test and a part of ECFMG test (part II is in March 1998 and he is expected to pass this).

and 10th (Dharma Karmadhipati Yoga) Lords in 12th Bhava indicating that fortune and career are in a foreign land. Conjunction of 4th and 7th Lord Budh with this is yet another Rajyoga showing possibility of education, both school (4th Lord Budh) and college (9th Lord Mangal) outside home. 12th Lord Sani is strong in Arudha Lagna (AL) in Makara and aspects exalted and Vargottama Sukr (Malavya Mahapurush Yoga) in Lagna. Chandr as Atmakarak is also placed in 9th Bhava of foreign travel. Rahu strongly aspects both Lagna and 9th Bhava showing foreign influence. Thus all factors point towards foreign travel and a life in a foreign land. In Navamsa, Sani is 12th Lord and is placed in 4th Bhava in a venusian Rasi. Malefics in 4th Bhava tend to take one away from home. Sukr is exalted. In Chaturvimsamsa (D24) Sani is dispositor of debilitated 9th Lord (higher education) and is placed in a Kendra causing Neechabhanga Raja Yoga for Guru. During Sukr Dasa Mangal Antardasa native went to a public school hostel in South India. During Sukr Dasa Guru Antardasa, his performance dipped (Guru is debilitated in 10th Bhava in Chaturvimsamsa) and he was unable to secure an admission into any engineering college in India. With the advent of Sani Antardasa in Sukr Dasa, in September 1983 he left for USA for pursuing higher studies in mechanical engineering. Sani causes Neechabhanga (cancellation of debility) of 9th Lord (higher studies) in D-24 chart. In 4th Bhava it shows education outside hometown and aspect of foreign travel has already been discussed. However, Rahu and Ketu (computers etc.) are in 9th Bhava in D-24 chart and will show higher studies related to subjects ruled by them instead of Sani / Mangal. During Sukr - Budh his performance dipped and he dropped out of engineering computer college to join and finish his education in computer science and management. In the same period he completed his education (Budh is in Lagna in D-24) and joined an American company GTE that is among largest in telecommunication. He has continued to reside abroad since 1983 and has settled there. As clearly indicated by chart his education, life, fortune and Karma are all in a foreign land.

Chart 153

 Arudha Lg: Thula (AL) Chart 153 is horoscope of an officer of Indian Economic Service. Dasa of Guru did prove to be excellent for service as he had joined as an inspector in Excise department of Central Government. Later in Guru Dasa Sukr Antardasa he qualified IAS Allied service (C.S.S) and even later cleared I.E.S. examination in Guru Dasa Chandr Antardasa. When native met the scribe in 1991, he was told that his stay in allied service was for a short term as dominance of Guru will take him towards economic service and such activities. Guru is also 9th Lord ruling higher education and is strong in Meena in 9th Bhava with Sukr. Change occurred due to Gajakesari Yoga in Navamsa Lagna in Guru - Chandr period. In 1995 native again enquired as to whether he would have good fortune of higher education in economics (Master degree / training) in a foreign country as he had already been short listed for the same. Rahu is Atmakarak and is placed in Lagna showing that it will be quite difficult to leave India. Its conjunction with 5th Lord (authority / responsibility) and 10th Lord (work) Mangal indicates that he will be given too much of work and job requirement in GOI will not allow foreign travel / studies etc. Although Vargottama, Rahu is AK and is unlikely to give easy results / desires, in Siddhamsa (D-24) Rahu is again in Lagna and page ~ 166 ~




studies in foreign lands etc. or higher education is likely to be denied as it is not only 8th Lord, but afflicts Lagna. 9th Lord is Guru (economic) and is placed in 12th Bhava with 7th Lord Sani. This is likely to give some kind of job related (Sani) training in economics. In 1997 native went to USA for training. There can be many more trips as Lord of Siddhamsa Lagna is Chandr and is placed in 7th Bhava in Makara.

Chandr placed in 12th Bhava from Arudha Lagna is very bad for sustaining Rajyoga while its placement in Simha and aspect to A10 initiates Rajyoga. Thus, during Guru Dasa Chandr Antardasa, although he became PM of India, Rajyoga did not exceed 15 days (Chandr - fortnight). However, as expected, during Guru Dasa Mangal Antardasa he again became PM since Mangal is very strong in Rajyoga and is placed in 10th Bhava in Dasamsa. In Dasamsa, Rahu Graha ruling foreign affairs is in Thula in conjunction with 4th Lord (home / ministry). Thus, native has been adept at handling work / ministry of external affairs. Aspect of 5th Lord Guru on this combination of 4th Sani & Rahu in Thula gives considerable knowledge of foreign affairs while placement of 12th & 7th Lord Sukr in 7th Bhava gives suave and diplomacy needed for the job. Even in recently formed BJP Government in March 1998 he has retained the ministry of external affairs. Chart 153 155 - P.V.

every kind of obstruction. Just like chart 154, Dasamsa (D10) has 4th Lord Mangal in Thula with Rahu. Shri P.V. Narasimha Rao was an able Minister in external affairs ministry during regime of Smt. Indira Gandhi. When Sani transited 2nd Bhava from Arudha Lagna and during Dasa of Mangal placed in 10th Bhava from Dasamsa Lagna he became Prime Minister of India. Conjunction of 12th Lord Surya (in Rasi chart) with 3rd & 8th Lord Mangal results in a powerful Vipareeta Rajyoga. Normally, this becomes an unstable Rajyoga (short-term) if it occurs in a Dusthana (3rd, 6th, 8th, or 12th Bhava) and can be very stable if occurring in a Kendra and supported by such powerful "personality" Rajyogas like Bhadra Mahapurush Yoga (Budh in 10th in own Rasi conjoins and supports it). In real term this takes peculiar form of support from one's own enemy / opposition as indicated by malefic lordship of Surya & Mangal and Budh indicates ruling stars of opposition that supports him (Budh is Lagnesh of BJP and Atmakarak of Shri Vajpayee - chart 154). During periods when Sani in transit aspects Arudha Lagna, there can be trouble from enemies and subordinates. Fall from power etc. is sure to occur if it simultaneously aspects Rajyapada (A10). Transit of Sani in Meena was over his Janma Rasi (Sade Sati main part) over Rajyapada (A10) in Meena and aspected Arudha Lagna (AL) in Dhanur. Although he won election (Guru is Badhakesh in 12th Bhava), Congress Party of which he was president was badly defeated. A shaky Gov. was installed in Delhi by conglomeration of various regional leaders. Shri Rao was ousted from presidentship of the party and his most trusted confidant Sri Sitaram Kesari took over the reigns. His wings were clipped by Sani and he was even denied a ticked to fight 1998 elections. With Sani leaving Chandr, Rajyapada (A10) and not aspecting AL (Dhanur) after April 1998, better days lie ahead for him politically. Simultaneously, Shri A.B. Vajpayee (chart 154) will have Sani transiting Rajyapada (A10) having its Lord and Lagnesh Mangal in it. This transit would also be in 8th Bhava from AL (health). The point is that both chart 154 & chart 155 are external affairs Ministers of India who later on became Prime Minister as Rahu is 10th Lord in Lagna in Indian independence chart.

Ketu is co-Lord of Lagna. Sukr is 7th and 12th Lord and its conjunction with 10th Lord and Ketu surely indicates secret service / espionage / counter-espionage and indicates a lot of travelling in connection with the job.

Sani is closely conjunct Lagna in Rasi and Navamsa showing traditional / ancient learning, Pranayama (methods of controlling breathing / yogic breathing etc.). In Dasamsa, Arthatrikona is dominated by these Grahas Sani and Ketu in spiritual Rasi Meena showing native as a teacher of transcendental meditation. Compare this to chart 156 where conjunction of Sani and Rahu (Bhoga) in Vrischika gave secret service, whereas Ketu (renunciation) instead of Rahu gives meditation and spiritualism. Native is renowned in the field of transcendental meditation and has attained worldwide reputation for Yogic flying. 9th Lord becoming Atmakarak and placed in Vargottama in Dhanur shows that Guru will be a powerful and very spiritual person. Various Yogas and close association with Guru (Maharishi Mahesh Yogi) were seen during Dasa of Atmatyakaraka Rahu. Dasa of Guru has brought long period of stay in India and various research into Ayurveda, traditional medicine, pure food and very good meditation. He has been well established as a teacher of TM due to Guru owning Meena and dispositing Sani and Ketu in Dasamsa. Rajyapada (A10) is in Thula with exalted Sani and it is expected that during Sani Dasa he will occupy a very high seat / position of teaching in Maharishi Mahesh Yogi movement. Close conjunction of Surya and Rahu indicates an eclipse and Rahu indicates great spiritualism / renunciation whereas Surya can be negative. In such a scenario, if Lagna / AL is in Kumbha native is spiritual whereas in Simha reverse is indicated. A similar combination of Rahu & Surya is seen in chart of Sri Chaitamya Mahaprabhu (in 4th Bhava Kumbha in D-12 chart of Srila Prabhupada Surya & Rahu conjoin to show a very spiritual mother). In chart 157, AL is in Kumbha showing that native is very spiritual and during Rahu Dasa he will renounce the world. Upapada is in Dhanur and its Lord Guru is in 8th Bhava again showing renunciation. A sage is born. Parasara teaches that marriage / renunciation should be decided from Upapada. If Lord of Upapada is ill placed in 8th / 12th Bhava or is in debility in Rasi or Navamsa, indication of Upapada are spoilt and renunciation will occur.

Although there are no rules gives in standard texts about space travel, standard rules concerning 12th Bhava should apply. Let us examine chart of Neil Armstrong, first man on Moon (chart 158). 12th Bhava from Arudha Lagna (AL) is Dhanur occupied by Chandr and Sani. Sani is a Yogakaraka for Vrishabha Lagna and as Lord of Arudha Lagna, its conjunction with Chandr promises undying fame. Activity due to which fame will come is seen from Bhava occupied by Chandr / Lord of AL from AL. Since it is 12th Bhava, it would be due to long journeys and such activity. 12th Lord from AL (Guru) is in a dual Rasi aspected by Chandr, Sani & Sukr (Gajakesari Yoga aspecting Lord of AL / Lagna gives fame). 12th Lord from Lagna is Mangal that is aspected by Ketu & Surya by Rasi Dristi. Thus, these 5 aspecting Grahas can indicate long journey during their period. Neil Armstrong landed on Moon on 20th July 1969 and walked on Moon on 21st July 1969. Vimsottari Dasa Antara and Pratyantar was Chandr - Ketu - Sukr. All 3 Grahas are strongly involved with long distance travel. Besides Chandr is in constellation of Ketu (ruling vertical / aerial motion). Since profession is also involved, this should show in Dasamsa. In D-10 chart, Chandr is in 9th Bhava aspecting 12th Bhava by Rasi Dristi while 9th and 12th Lord Guru is with Ketu in 8th Bhava. Antardasa Graha Ketu is also placed in 12th Bhava from Chandr. Thus journey to Moon was started in Chandr - Ketu - Ketu (Dasa - Antara - Pratyantar). Sukr is both Lord of 7th Bhava (foreign land - Moon surface) and 2nd Bhava showing end of journey. Thus, in Chandr - Ketu - Sukr he walked on Chandr. In Shodasamsa (D-16) chart connected with vehicles and travel, Chandr is 7th Lord placed in Lagna to show fame due to travel. Sukr is in 12th Bhava with 9th Lord while Ketu aspects 12th Bhava. Readers may note that strong influence of Gajakesari Yoga (Chandr & Guru) on Lords of Lagna (Sukr) and AL (Sani) not only gave undying fame, but then in spite of a Chandr in 8th Bhava, Vimsottari Dasas did yield good results due to lunar influence.
