Astrology Secrets Revealed; Astrology over the years evolved into into various flavors and different different schools who followed enforced their application with different rules. Astrology Astrology is a divine science and it has to be simple to reveal the behavior of complex phenomenon of nature. For any newbie who likes to be aware of this science often finds astrology as a complex study like one reading a mystery novel written b y a mystery author. In this document I try to demystify the astrology and illustrate simple rules that should be obvious to believe. My intention is to bring more wider acceptance of astrology, astrology, not just as a tool to predict people's future but understand life as it is. If one is wondering how simple it will be in my explanation, let me reason out with a simple illustration; in our body we have different senses touch, taste, smell, hear, sight which reflect in different organs in a body but these senses are defined in the genes which are defined at birth. Here one may think gene is a complex thing to understand, yes it is this simple truth that manifests itself in a complex phenomenon. By the way, I don't claim expert in all the astrological studies nor done profound research or have practical experience; but I am excited to reveal my thoughts as a child who discovers simple phenomenon without somebody's help. Also Also in doing so I have changed the concepts and new references that reason out perfectly with the fundamentals I have outlined.
Defining Horoscope Houses In a horoscope there are twelve houses, it was told that first house represent body, second house wealth and so on; why do these houses represent body, wealth, wealth, courage etc. How can such complex phenomenon be classified into 12 houses? The 12 houses in the horoscope show how the spiritualistic and materialistic interact in 12 different areas of life. These 12 houses can be broadly classified into three areas of life in our environment, personal houses where Jiva identifies with other Jiva, social houses, where where Jiva mutually shares with other Jiva and universal houses where Jiva is identified identified by other Jiva without his knowledge. knowledge. The power or control given to Jiva by God in spiritual and materialistic nature differ in the 12 houses in horoscope. As per the Advaita philosophy spiritual and matter exist in three levels – Bramhan (Soul level), Jiva (material life that connects to our soul) and Maya (the reality which is illusion that the material life connects to). The table below shows how the spiritual and matter exist in the 12 houses of the h oroscope with simple examples that illustrate it's kartatwas in human life at three levels - Bramhan level, Jiva Level and Maya Level and also the power of control given to Jiva (what's not it should be understood as the power is given to other to control).

Life Struggles – Rahu & Ketu Rahu is the point in the horoscope where Jiva breaks the bond with Bramhan for Maya and Ketu is the point in the horoscope that Jiva breaks the bond with Maya for Bramhan. That's the reason Rahu is understood as Maya karaka and Ketu as Moksha Karaka. In the process Rahu and Ketu create the imbalances between matters related to the Bramhan and Maya in their houses respectively. respectively. So Rahu exaggerates the house matters it is in and Ketu depresses the house matters it is in as the Jiva is in pursuit for material happiness and vise versa for spiritual pursuits. pursuits. Often the mind (moon) urges to balance the Bramhan Bramhan and Maya to what divine has destined for the soul (sun) that's why some often regard Rahu and Ketu as malefic planets. If one asks why this imbalances and any benefit of it? Divine has g iven power to Jiva to control what He controls but with a little twist. Rahu in the horoscope shows where Jiva has been given the po wer to grab the control of materialistic matters of the house from other Jiva; but has to give this materialistic power back to the house matters where Ketu resides. Say if one has Rahu in 10th house, Jiva has power to grab the Maya matters of 10th house like status in career but has to give this power back to other Jiva who control the 4th house or where Ketu resides i.e. surrender to home family members or mother. Coming to Ketu, there is little difference how it manifests. Ketu in the horoscope shows where Jiva is in control of the Bramhan matters of the house of other Jiva but has to surrender to other Jiva's Bramhan house matters where Rahu resides. Say one has Ketu in 11th house he is in control of other people's gains but has to surrender to the Bramhan matters of where Rahu resides i.e. give the intellect wealth to other people.
Retrograde Planets In horoscope when the planets are retrograde the houses reference should be reversed i.e. 12th house becomes 2nd house and 2nd house becomes 12th house. Rahu and Ketu which are retrograde by nature. So Rahu and Ketu gets support from the left house for Maya and Bramhan matters respectively where they reside and suffer form the matters of right house Maya and Bramhan matters respectively to where they reside.
Zodiac – Planets The earth revolves round the sun and it passes through twelve zodiac, stations or signs. During earth's revolution when it passed each zodiac, the celestial phenomena reflects or governs human activity on the principle of "as above, so below", so that the twelve signs are held to represent twelve basic personality types or characteristic modes of expression. expression. Planets themselves don't have any unique energy that should should differ between them. But how come they are identified identified with different different significations in the horoscopes? horoscopes? Planets
activate unique characteristics in human and our environment with their different gravitational forces. From ancient times it has been defined that the zodiac signs are classified with what planets they rule because they showed benefic and also most influential in the matters it is defined. If in planets occupy other zodiac signs they lose their significance or act negative. Also Also each zodiac sign is associated with one of the elements of nature fire, earth, air, or water.

Nakshatras The 27 Nakshatras (Nakshatra is a unit of measure in space so they represent group of star constellations in the sky) and 9 planetary bodies can be distinguished by three gunas Tamas(darkness), Tamas(darkness), Rajas (dynamism) and Sattva (liberation). The Divine relationship with gunas is - Maha Vishnu rules the Sattva guna; Bramha rules the Rajas guna and Lord Shiva is rules the Tamas Tamas guna. The nakshatra is represented at three nd levels and planet is represented at two levels (2 & 3rd). The missing first level in planetary body is reflected by the zodiac lord of the planet it is occupied. The first level of gunas in Nakshatra Nakshatra defines what type of zodiac sign range they are in i.e. the first 4 zodiac signs are Rajas in nature (Aries to Cancer) and second 4 zodiac signs are Tamas in nature (Leo to Scorpio) and last four signs are Sattva in nature (Sagittarius to Pisces). The 9 planetary bodies also show the same gunas as represented in the ruling planet of the Nakshatra. In one's life there are four basic aims or Pursharthas - 1. Dharma 2. Artha 3. Kama 4. Moksha. The simple meanings of these four aims are Dharma - to sustain, Artha - to seek, Kama - to want and Moksha - to
surrender. surrender. In the horoscope where Dharma is Jiva rules over the matters of the house tooth and nail, where as in Artha house Jiva constantly struggles to possess the matters of the house, where as in Kama house Jiva constantly desires from others (not with it's own effort) and where as Moksha house shows where Jiva surrenders.

Observation: Observation: −Stars in Aries to Cancer are in Rajas −Stars in Leo to Scorpio are in Tamas −Stars in Sagittarius to Pisces are Sattva Time Time is integral part of life or Jiva. The two gunas in the planet are subjective and objective which can be explained by the time how h ow it emphasis. The rule here is Time in Tamas Tamas represents past, Rajas represents present and Sattva represents future. future. The table below illustrates the time emphasis emphasis on each planet also what it struggles. Also Also shows the planet's missing guna(s) which they want. Note if the planet finds the missing gunas in their environment they are balanced otherwise show unbalanced results. Planet

Note: I have changed gunas of Venus because often it's described as the most Rajas planet in it's nature. If you notice Venus nature it is the source of creation because Bramha rules the Rajas guna. Also I have changed Rahu to Uranus and Ketu to Neptune both at planetary and nakshatra tables. Rahu and Ketu show where the life struggles at materialistic and spiritual side of life, it effects human life indirectly. indirectly. But Uranus and Neptune which are planetary bodies in or solar system exert the gravitational forces on earth and uniquely influences our lives and environment. Please apply the traditional rules for Uranus and Neptune because it show some much relevance to our lives than using the Rahu and Ketu. Also Also in the Vimshottari dasha Rahu and Ketu can be replaced to Uranus and Neptune.
Interlink with Zodiac and Nakshatras The power to each house comes from the Nakshatras Nakshatras and Zodiac. The Zodiac and nakshatra nakshatra are two forces in life. The Zodiac is a static spiritual force that is defined at birth which shows how the Maya influences Jiva in all matters of the Bramhan. On the other hand Nakshatra is a Dynamic materialistic force which shows how the Bramhan influences to Jiva in all matters of Maya that the Jiva wants to to do with it's free Will. Wondering how the static and dynamic forces or energies unfold in the house matters of the horoscope? It's through the planets. Let's understand the cycle. The house spiritual matters are ruled by the Zodiac Lord. The zodiac lord gives it's own personal style of Zodiac to the house spiritual matters. The placement of the zodiac lord (planet) in the horoscope decides which house controls it's house matters. So far this explains how the static force unfolds in the horoscope. Navamsa chart shows whether the planets planets are favorable or not spiritual matters matters of the house. On the other hand Nakshatras which are key to the timing of events in Jiva's life influences the house matters of horoscope dynamically. It's based on three moving variables, Nakshatra Dasa, planets and Bhava Cusps. Before we understand how Nakshatras manifests it's influence, let's understand the Law of Karma because Nakshatras hold Karma them. Divine has bestowed the free will to Jiva to do Karma. Along Along the path what Jiva chooses to do Karma is often influenced by the Nakshatras directly. It's interesting to know that Jiva takes birth based on the past life Karma and also based on the Karma of the Maya (Illusion or reality). Similarly Jiva initiates a new event based on the Karma done before. The key here is to know that future destiny is based on the Karma done prior to the birth or event but the karma done today can alter the future good or bad of the destiny that will unfold. The Nakshatra Dasa system sho ws what planet or planets influence the free will at any given time in Jiva's life. Next the planets in the horoscope are assigned a Nakshatra which define what Maya or materialistic matters matters it controls. Finally the Bhava cusps which signify the matters of the house. The sub-lord of Nakshatra shows whether the planet is favorable or not for materialistic aspects of house. For Astrology Astrology analysis using horoscope it may be important to know that zodiac influences or spiritual influences are studied on the Lagna chart but the nakshatra influences or materialistic influences influences are studied on the Bhava Chalita chart.
Divinity One may wonder why each planet effect us differently in the first place, when they are just pure masses of bodies, where no life exist on them? them? The sun controls the solar system and supports Jiva on the earth. The other planets which revolve round the sun create unique influence to the life on the earth. The Sun which itself revolves around the center of the milky way, which is controlled by the Divine. Turning to divinity we connect the center of the milky way which controls the sun which will alter the effects that's destined by law of nature.
I think I have dug one more step closer to Astrology's Astrology's core knowledge but the journey continues!.
