Planetary Aspects
All Planets aspect 7th house from the position occupied by them.
However Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Rahu, Ketu, have special aspect
besides 7th aspect. The planetary aspects are as under:-
Sun, Mercury, Venus 7th
Mars, Saturn 96 30 40 67 20
Now add up all the Shashtiamsa values. The result is the total
Sthana Bala.
Directional Strength (DIG BALA)
Dig Bala means directional strength. The Sun and Mars are
powerful in the South i.e when they occupy the 10th house.
Saturn gets full directional strength in the West, the seventh
house. Moon and Venus get maximum directional strength
when positioned in the North (fourth house). Mercury and
Jupiter function well in the first house (the East).
The points opposite to powerful points are powerless points
which when occupied give no directional strength. Actually
180 th degree from powerful point is powerless point. For
example Sun gets maximum directional strength in the 10th
house i.e south and zero directional strength in 4th house i.e
north direction.
A planet gets maximum Dig Bala when it is in midpoint of the
bhava (house) where it functions especially well. If for
example the Sun is located right in the middle of the tenth
house it gets maximum Dig Bala and is given 60
Shashtiamsas. If the Sun is in the middle of the fourth house
it is given 0 Shashtiamsas.
Dig bala gives a good indication for how strong a planet is in
its house.
The morning is a great time for studying and learning. That is
why Mercury and Jupiter, planets which have to do with
studying and learning, are strong during that time of day (at
that time the Sun is near the ascendant). The Sun and Mars
are energetic planets which need the energy that is available
around noon (at that time the Sun is in the tenth house).
Saturn is the planet of shades, which are at its maximum
during the evening (when the Sun is opposite the
ascendant). Moon and Venus are soft planets which function
good during the time that is meant for sleeping and making
love (at midnight the Sun is in the fourth house).
Temporal Strength (KALA BALA)
This has to do with the strength which a planet has because
of the time of the day. It is strength of time.
It consists of following 9 different factors:
After everything has been calculated we add it all up and get the
total Kala Bala.
Motional Strength (CHESTA BALA)
The Sun and Moon do not get Chesta Bala values. They
move in a fairly regular pattern and do not go retrograde
ever. The other planets turn retrograde when they are on a
specific distance from Sun. Planets which are relatively fast
get a low chesta bala value. The slow moving planets are
able to focus their energy more because they stay in one
place for longer duration. The maximum amount of
Shashtiamsas to be earned is 60.
Permanent Strength (NAISARGIKA BALA)
Each planet gets a certain amount of Shashtiamsas
according to the luminosity it has. Sun is the brightest planet
it is given 60 Shashtiamsas whereas Saturn is the faintest
and gets 8.57 Shashtiamsas. This means that the amount of
Shashtiamsas a planet receives according to Naisargika
Bala is in every chart the same.
Aspect Strength (DRIK BALA)
Drik Bala is called aspect strength. Planet aspect the
zodiacal degree in opposition (180 degrees from it). The
point which is 120 degrees from these planets get a partial
aspect of 50%, the point which is 90 degrees from the planet
gets a 75% aspect, the point which is 60 degrees gets a
25% aspect and the point which is 30 or 150 degrees from
the planet gets no aspect at all. If a planet is aspected by
benefics the planet receives a positive Shashtiamsa value. If
a planet is aspected by malefics than it gets negative Drik
Bala points.
TOTAL SHADBALA
In order to obtain the total Shadbala of each planet, all six
types of Balas are added. Drikbala is added or subtracted
depending upon whether it is positive or negative. The result
obtained is the Shadbala of planets in Shashtiamsa which
divided by 60 gives Shadbala in Rupas.
It is important to realize that the influence of certain
Shadbala factors is much greater than others. Simply
because the amount of Shashtiamsas to be gained by
certain Shadbala factors is much greater than by others. As
an example: the amount of Shashtiamsas which can be
gained by the factor Sthana Bala is a lot more than what can
be gained by Dig Bala. Therefore the six Shadbala factors
are not equally important.
Somebody has affirmed rightly,"The directional strength
of Sun is most important, in moon's case it is
Pakshabala which should be given prime importance
and for other planets it is Oochabala which should be
brought under consideration primarily."
According to the Shadbala rules every planet needs a
certain amount of Rupas to be strong. According to these
rules Mercury needs 7 Rupas, Jupiter needs 6 Rupas,
The Moon needs 6 Rupas, Venus needs 5 Rupas, Saturn,
the Sun and Mars need 5 Rupas. These values are seen as
the minimum requirement for a certain planet to be strong.
The total Shad Bala in Rupas is divided by this minimum
requirement and then we get the Shad Bala ratio. The most
interesting about this Shad Bala ratio is to see whether a
planet has more or less than the minimum requirement.
" 8th house is a place of longevity. 8th place from the 8th house,
ie, the third house is also a place of longevity. The twelfth places
from both (8th and 3rd) are 7th and 2nd houses which act as killer
of the native, the 7th being more fatal than the 2nd"
It is observed that many politicians were assassinated when they
were undergoing the period of fatal planets, ie, lords of 2nd or 7th
houses. If Mars, Saturn, Rahu and Ketu get involved with 2nd,
6th, 7th, 8th or 12th house or with their lord, the probability of
assassination is increased.
Chart of Mrs Indira Gandhi is strengthened by three exchanges of
planets, of which the two are making good Rajyogas. These are -
1. Exchange of ascendant lord Moon with seventh lord Saturn. 2.
Exchange of second lord Sun with fifth and tenth lord - auspicious
Mars. 3. Exchange of sixth lord Jupiter with eleventh lord Venus.
Although the ascendant is weakened by the influence of three first
grade malefics (hemmed by Mars and Ketu and occupied by 8th
lord Saturn), yet its vitality is animated by the aspect of its own
lord Moon which in turn is aspected by divine Jupiter. This
enabled Mrs Gandhi for hard decisions in crucial span of time. For
Cancer ascendants the Saturn is animator as well as detrimental
and fatal. Mrs Gandhi's political life was guided by the various
aspects of Saturn, the major period of which was started from
Dec. 1970 when she was in chair of PM. During the period of
Saturn - Ketu she lost her power, dignity and modesty of her
political life when she got defeated in the election to the
Parliament in March 1977 but in the period of Saturn Venus she
won the election to the Parliament and was sworn in for PM in
Jan. 1980. It was Saturn-Rahu-Rahu a crucial period when she
was assassinated at the age of 67 by her own body guard on Oct.
31, 1984. In her chart Saturn being the lord of 7th house is fatal
and Rahu - Ketu both are detrimental. Rahu occupies 6th house
from the ascendant and its dispositer Jupiter occupies the 6th
place from Rahu. In this way a cruel relationship among
ascendant, sixth and eighth houses is responsible for her
assassination.
One should not get immediate conclusion for the time of death of
a person on the basis of the period of lord of 2nd or 7th house. It
is worth while to know a broad spectrum of the age of the native
by studying the nature of the sign that contains -
Lords of 1st and 8th houses.
Moon and Saturn
Lagna and Hora lagna
In the chart of Mrs. Gandhi the lords of 1st and 8th houses ie,
Moon and Saturn occupy movable signs indicating long life. Since
the ascendant is hemmed in between malefics, she might get
more than middle age.
In the chart of Rajiv Gandhi, ex Prime minister, the ascendant is
weakened (hemmed and aspected) by three malefic planets, but it
is augmented by the disposition of Moon in fixed and Saturn in
dual sign as well as conglomeration of five benefic planets - Sun,
Moon, Mercury, Jupiter and Venus. Moreover, the ascendant
being vargottam gets some extra strength that conferred on him
beauty, body and bravery. However, the lords of 1st and 8th
house being in a fixed sign and malefic influence of Mars and
Saturn on 8th house and its lord indicate his short life. Since the
ascendant is fortified by many benefics, the age might touch to
middle. He was at the age of 47 when assassinated on May 21,
1991 in a bomb explosion by a female militant of LTTE in the
period of Rahu - Mercury. Both these planets are inimical and
venomous because Rahu is in the place of secret enemy,
conspiracy and assassination while Mercury is fatal being the lord
of second house. The lord (Moon) of Rahu occupied sign in the
ascendant, aspect of 6th lord Saturn on the ascendant and aspect
of Mars on the 8th house show loss of life. In this way a cruel
relationship among ascendant, second, sixth, eighth and twelfth
houses is responsible for his assassination. It would have been in
the period of Rahu - Saturn from Jan 87 to Nov 89 because
Saturn also has sufficient fatal character.
Mahatma Gandhi at the age of 79 was assassinated on Jan. 31,
1948 in Delhi during Jupiter - Ketu. There has been some
ambiguity for his correct birth time and hence correct rising sign of
ascendant whether it is Virgo or Libra. I consider Virgo ascendant
which is benevolent for long life near to 80 years because lords of
1st and 8th houses are in movable signs but Jupiter being lord of
7th house is fatal. Ketu posited in 5th house (ie, 8th place from
10th house) is sufficiently inimical after receiving the aspect of 8th
lord Mars. For Virgo ascendant, Mars being the owner of 3rd and
8th houses is full of fatal characteristics such as fire, injury,
wound, accident, violence and destruction. So it vitiates the
aspected planets.
Shaikh Mujibur Rahman, Founder and President of Bangla Desh
was assassinated at the age of 55 on Aug. 15 1975 by an army
officer during the period of Saturn - Jupiter. In his chart Mars, lord
of ascendant has lost its vigour* because of two first grade
malefics (Saturn and Rahu). The 12th house* (assassination) is
highly afflicted by the presence of Mars - Rahu and Saturnine
aspect. Such combination of these three planets drains away the
comforts of the concerned house and hence in houses 1, 8, and
12 they are indicative of short or middle life. We know that Mars -
Rahu conjunction is synonym of a bomb or an explosion. An evil
aspect of Saturn on Mars or vice versa creeps into sudden
calamity. It is beyond doubt that in his chart Jupiter being lord of
2nd house is fatal but Saturn itself is not fatal. It is the Venus that
being owner of 7th and 12 houses incepts the instincts of being a
killer and instills its instincts by its direct aspect on Saturn.
"If malefics occupy 6th, 8th, or 12th houses and the lord of the
lagna is weak without any influence of benefics, the native is short
lived."
Benito Mussolini born in a poor black-smith family began his
carrier as a correspondent. He stirred the public for socialist
agitation by his revolutionary articles and speeches. For such
revolutionary activities he was arrested and got suffer
imprisonment. In his chart the ascendant is beset by the aspect of
errant, erratic, erroneous, agonist and revolutionary association of
3 planets - Moon-Mars-Saturn. It fascinated him to be a fascist
who believed in fight for the progress of a country. So he had
been an extreme socialist using extremism. In his view
democracy and peace are just like a stagnant water of a pond and
hence an inertia to the progress. This is comparable to some
other revolutionary union of planets observed in the charts of Karl
Marx (Sun, Moon and Rahu aspected by Saturn), Adolf Hitler
(Sun, Mars, Mercury and Venus aspected by Saturn) and
Maharana Pratap (Mars, Saturn and Ketu). However, conjunction
of benevolent planets viz. Moon-Mars in 7th, Jupiter-Venus in 8th
and Sun-Mercury in 9th houses spread his popularity in masses
as much that the king of Italy invited him to be sworn in as the
head of the Govt. on Oct. 27, 1922 during Jupiter - Venus period.
In second word war he faced defeat everywhere. So he lost his
faith in masses and became the victim of public rage. He tried to
escape into Switzerland but he was arrested on 28 April 1945,
and, together with some members of his Fascist Cabinet was
executed by partisans and ultimately got assassinated. This is
noteworthy that Mars-Saturn conjunction like Mars-Rahu is violent
for causing sudden calamity like dog-death and Jupiter being lord
of 2nd (or 7th) house is highly fatal.
Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of USA and one of the
greatest American heroes was born in a poor family who earned
his living by working on the river as a boatman, by splitting rails
and acting as postmaster. With little formal education he had all
the qualities of a good statesman. His humour, eloquence,
patience, courage, charity and kindness established him in
masses who one day elected him as President. He attended a
theatre on the night of April 14, 1865 where John Wilkes Booth,
an actor shot him through the brain and on the morning of 15th he
died. It was Saturn-Mercury period. At first instance both these
planets in his chart are not fatal like the lords of 2nd and 7th
houses but they are influenced by them. It is well known that
Mercury is a dependant planet that shows the characteristics of
conjoined planet. In his chart Sun-Mercury duo occupy the
ascendant. Therefore, Mercury squeezes the intrinsic fatality of
the 7th house through its lord Sun and becomes fatal indirectly.
Simultaneously, Saturn as a lord of ascendant is a producer of life
even then being a lord of 12th it is related to death. In Laghu-
Parashari Saturn is considered as a master of death and
becomes a first grade fatal planet among others.
If Saturn is related to a fatal place or fatal planet in any way, it
becomes itself a cruel fatal.
Pramod Mahajan, general secretary of BJP and a minister in A B
Vajpayee Govt. was grievously wounded by his younger brother
Pravin who shot at him at his residence on April 22, 2006 at about
7.30 AM. The three bullets caused internal damage to his body
that eventually led to his death during Saturn-Moon-Venus (or
Sun) period. According to sources although Pramod supported his
siblings morally, socially and financially yet the two brothers were
on bad terms for about two years as a consequence of sufferings
of Pravin from ill-treatment, humiliation, frustration and inferiority
complex of the feeling of a poor brother of a rich and powerful
man (Pramod). Astrologically, for Leo ascendant Saturn being
lord of 6th and 7th houses is a cruel fatal planet. In the chart of
the native Saturn in retrograde state is posited in 12th house and
by its aspect vitiating the Moon that has drawn the fatal
characteristics of 12th. The third vitious planet is either Venus or
Sun, neither is life saving because Venus being lord of 3rd has
lost its auspiciousness and further it is posited in 7th house, a
giver of death. If we look at Sun, it is in an embarrassed state
being occupying 6th and having aspect of fatal Saturn.

The great poet Kalidas in his script Uttar Kalamrita also accepted
Rahu exalted in Taurus and Ketu in Scorpio but he considered
Gemini as mooltrikona for Rahu and Virgo for Ketu as well as own
sign Aquarius for Rahu and Scorpio for Ketu while other
astrologers expressed their ambiguity on this issue. A
comprehensive view of different astrologers on exalted,
mooltrikona and own signs of Rahu and Ketu appears in the box.
Similarly, there is an ambiguity for their aspect. Some consider
their aspect like Mars (4, 7 & 8) while some consider like Saturn
(3, 7, & 10) and others consider like Jupiter (5, 7 & 9th).
As per experiences, in ones horoscope, Rahu is considered
powerful to bestow fortune and success when exists in Aries,
Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo and Aquarius while Ketu,
inturn, is powerful in the opposite signs, ie, Libra, Scorpio,
Sagittarius, Capricon, Aquarius and Pisces. Although Rahu
considers the lumaniries Sun and Moon as his enemy, but impart
successful results in their signs, Cancer and Leo. However,
Kalidas considered Cancer and Leo as enemy of Rahu and Ketu.
Rahu is a friend of Mercury, saturn and Ketu but Sun, Mars and
Venus are his enemy and Moon and Jupiter are neutral to him. If
Sun and Venus or Sun and Saturn associate together in a sign,
Rahu is considered to provide adverse results. In this state Rahu
spoils the good traits of his house and the native observes
obstacles in the path of progress and success. The cojunction of
Saturn-Rahu vitiates the horoscope with Shrapit Yoga which is
responsible for tremendous difficulties in the life of the native.
In general, Rahu carries the positive and beneficial tone of Jupiter
and hence stands for growth and development and self help while
Ketu expresses the restrictions and obstacles of Saturn and
hence thought to restrict growth. In this way Rahu represents
positive objectives and Ketu denotes the easy way out with little
opportunity for growth. Thus Rahu signifies materialism and
desires, whereas Ketu signifies spiritual tendencies and process
of the refinement of materialization to spirit but obstacles in the
material realm. Rahu is considered to be wile, deceitful and
dishonest. After all, Rahu did succeed in tricking Vishnu in serving
him immortal nectar. Therefore, Rahu is described as a liar, foul
mouth and full of criticism about others. He creates psychiatric
disorders and other diseases of mind, especially when conjunct
with Moon. However, if well placed in ones horoscope, Rahu
gives courage, prestige and fame. It can bring out extraordinary
qualities in terms of supernatural in an individual. Rahus negative
tendencies such as to destroy intelligence can be removed by
strengthening Mercury which represents intellect. Perhaps this is
the reason that Rahu is considered beneficial in Mercurys sign,
Gemini and Virgo.
Ketu is considered both malefic and benefic, as it causes sorrow
and loss, and yet at the same time it turns the individual to God
and the final liberation from the cycle of birth and death.
Therefore, Ketu is an indicator of intelligence, wisdom, non-
attachment, penetrating insight, derangement, and psychic
abilities. Despite of such negative characteristics, we survive with
the wrath of these evil planets because they are bound to affect
one or more houses in our horoscopes.
Rahu-Ketus placement in horoscope
Since Rahu and Ketu do not own any particular house, the
question is how do they impart their good or bad effects ? The
answer was given by Maharishi Parashar in 13th and 21st dictum
of Laghu Parashari that they act as per their position in house as
well as association and relationship with planets.
Rahu-Ketu axis in 1st and 7th houses : This place stands for self,
life, longevity, vitality, complexion, nature and out look towards life
of the native. Lal Kitab considers this place of Aries, a fiery sign.
In fact, all fiery signs (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius) in ascendants give
independence, broad out look, outgoing personalities, courage,
enthusiasm and leadership qualities. An unafflicted Rahu in this
position augments these characteristics and gives opportunities of
earning wealth and property from unexpected sources. But, if
afflicted then he is not only responsible for ill temper but also
causes diseases of mouth and teeth. By the effect of Mars-Rahu,
the teeth of the native become weak and begin to fall at the age of
40 years. However, in 1st house Rahu is considered better than
Ketu for marital snugness and physical gains - accumulation of
wealth, position and prosperity. But, in 7th house Rahu becomes
exorbitant for sexual urge, especially when Rahu gets associated
with Mars or Venus. It is stated in astrological texts that if Rahu in
7th house is hemmed by malefics such as Sun, Mars or Saturn
then discord of married life and even danger to the life of life
partner is most likely to occure. In my experience, multiple
marriages of the native have been observed. In 1st house Ketu in
adverse position is not conducive to health, religious and
cheritable thinking and working.
In the chart of Salman Rushdie, an Indian-British novelist and
essayist, the 7th house is vitiated by Rahu-Venus conjunction
which is responsible for that Rushdie is fond of women and
practically has been married four times.
Rahu-Ketu axis in 2nd and 8th houses : The Second house
signifies tangible assets such as finances and intangible assets
such as eye sight, memory, tongue and eloquecy. Profoundly, this
is a place of accumulation of wealth, education, honor and
longevity where this axis is not considered good. Because, if
either node is afflicted (by any of Sun, Mars, Saturn) or
associated by Venus, the native develops bad habits and his
tongue is not praise-worthy. Businessmen, if have such afficted
Rahu-Ketu axis in 2nd and 8th houses, should be aware of heavy
loss of wealth.
Rahu-Ketu axis in 3rd and 9th houses : The 3rd house signifies
courage to implement the intelligence, younger brothers and
sisters and short journeys while 9th house is a place of destiny.
The axis in these houses gives a sharp, courageous, inventive
mind, progressive attitude and dedication to work. Thus Rahu-
Ketu do well in these houses, where they give lot of money,
movement in a direction selected to proceed towards progress,
victory and success. The person wears a golden crown, a symbol
of richness, power and triumph. When Rahu-Ketu are in 3rd and
9th houses and malefics in 6th and/or 8th, the axis cannot be
considered good for longevity of the native as well as his younger
brothers. If some-how the 3rd and 9th houses are bad, the 5th will
also prove bad. If the 9th is occupied by Sun or Moon, then Rahu
or Ketu in the 5th will neither affect the issues of the native or the
native himself adversely. Rahu or Ketu in watery sign in 9th house
provide opportunity for foreign travel.
The role of Rahu-Ketu in 3rd and 9th houses in ones life can be
illustrated by considering the chart of Adolf Hitler, born in a poor
family but was a veteran of world war 1 and got leadership of the
Nazi party in Germany. In his chart, Rahu occupies Gemini sign in
9th house, a trine place and receives benign aspect of Moon and
Jupiter. This is one of the best positions of Rahu in a horoscope,
under the influence of which the native gets name, fame,
prosperity, position, bravery, prowess and triumph in social and
political arrays. Hitler had progmatic ideas rather than dogmatic
and hence passion to do work of valour. He promoted
nationalism, antisemitism and anticommunism with his
charismatic oratory and then on the morning of 30th Jan 1933, in
the period of Rahu-Jupiter, he sworn in as Chancellor of
Germany. In his life, Rahus period was commenced in March
1933 for 18 years. It bizare that Hitler committed suicide on 30th
April 1945 in the period of Rahu-Moon, why? Rahu is at 7th
position (fatal place) from Moon.
Similarly, the chart of Industrialist Dhiru Bhai Ambani shows
Rahu-Ketu axis in 3rd and 9th houses. The native was born in a
family of poor school teacher but planetary forces made him
ambitious, materialistic, desirous of status and power and infact
he was proved goal oriented. No one can have as much energy.
Rahu-Ketu axis in 4th and 10th houses : This a very sensitive
place of the horoscope which signifies property, conveyance,
domestic happiness and wellbeings of mother.
Vedic astrology does not considere this axis good in 4th house
but Lal Kitab considers good. Phaldeepica says that with Rahu in
4th house, the native will have a short span of life and seldom
happiness. Similarly, Mansagari does not depict good results, ie,
the native shall be devoid of wealth, happiness and paternal
property. Actually, these adverse consequences are observed
when the node is influenced by another malefic such as Sun,
Mars or Saturn. I have found that Sun-Rahu Mars-Rahu and
Saturn-Rahu in 4th house squeeze the fragrance of life. A male
native of a chart with Sun-Mercury-Venus-Saturn-Rahu could not
accumulate wealth, property and conveyances, however, he is
bestowed with good family. A female native with Mars-Rahu in 4th
house could not avail domestic and marital happiness through out
her life. According to Lal Kitab 4th house belongs to Moon which
is an enemy of Rahu. If Rahu is alone (free from afliction) in 4th
house and Moon is strong, the native would be intelligent,
wealthy, prosperous and enjoying comfortable life. If Rahu is
malefic and Moon is weak then the native would lead his life full of
poverty and devoid of maternal happiness.
Rahu-Ketu axis in 5th and 11th houses : 5th house is a place of
intelligence, luck, speculation and progeny while 11th house is of
material gain. Lord of either an angle or a trine in 5th house
bestows Rajyoga to the native and, therefore, he would be
induced to use his potential for spiritual and matreial gain. Such
persons will be noble, learned, courageous and successful in their
life. If Rahu or Ketu be placed in the 5th and there are inimical
planets in the 8th then strokes of misfortune will hit the native
through the 11th house. The relatives indicated by the planets of
the 5th and 8th houses will also be affected. In this situation the
earnings of the native will also be affected very adversely, if the
2nd house is empty. Nothing will be able to save the native. Now
the planets of the 10th and 5th will also turn to be malefic
whatever be their natural character. Ketus placement in eleventh
and twelfth house is considered extremely auspicious, where it
gives results to make a persons worth equivalent to that of kings.
If Rahu and Ketu are with either Sun or Moon in 5th, 6th, 8th or
12th house, Pitru Dosha appears which destroys the benefics of
the horoscope of the native and create obstacles in the path of his
progress.
Rahu-Ketu axis in 6th and 12th houses : In horoscope, 6th house
denotes debt, disease, enemy, mental worries, extravagance,
obstacles and calamity in life while 12th house signifies
expenditure, loss, confinement, conjugal relations, secret enemy,
conspiracy, foreign travels, divine knowledge, emancipation and
renunciation. Since 6th house is considered a place of Virgo sign
ruled by Mercury and12th house a place of Picease ruled by
Jupiter, Rahu in 6th is in a state of exaltation and Ketu in 12th
house is an indication of emancipation and renunciation. It is
observed that Rahu-Ketu axis in 6th and 12th houses confers the
potential for good judgement of how to struggle in life. Such
natives have outstanding organisational and administrative
capabilities and hence conquer enemies in either battlefield of
business, politics and administration. The axis gives opportunities
of foreign travel. Ketu in sixth house is a good placement in
making an individual generous and famous. Infact, in 12th either
node when is free from Mars and Venus but receives aspect of
divine Jupiter, initiates the native towards spiritualism who triumph
himself over materialism. According to Lal Kitab 12th house is
Pakka Ghar of Rahu, from where the native gains divine
knowledge. but, if at this place, Rahu is associated with Mars or
Venus, then these adverse associations indice the native towards
extravegance. Such natives get entangled in licentious activities
and then they are stray dogs (drown in debt and disease).
For illustration if we consider the charts of Nehru family, we find
Rahu-Ketu axis in 6th and 12th houses in the charts of Pt. Motilal,
Pt. Jawaharlal, Smt Indira Gandhi and Sh Rajiv Gandhi. All of
them faced a lot of struggle in their life and scaled high of name
and fame as a major political leader of the Congress Party, a
pivotal figure in the Indian independence movement and Prime
Ministers of India (not Pt

Psychology Problems & the Role of 4th House in Horoscope April 2012
Puneet Vohra
Articles in this Issue | Related Articles | Views : 527 |
The Fourth House shows your home and how you tend to act
there. It also shows relationship with the parent of lesser
influence, usually the father, the first few years of your life and
paradoxically, the last years of your life, what we become as we
get older. The fourth house of yourhoroscope governs areas
related to home, family and property. Your roots, family
background, childhood, inner emotions, immovable possessions,
domestic life, the end of life and endings in general are covered
by this house. Psychological foundations and conditioning are
also found in the 4th house. There is some controversy as to
whether this house covers the Father or the Mother. One might
say that the parent with the most influence is covered by this
house. In my practice, the Mother is found in the fourth house and
the Father in the tenth house. Given that females are ruled by the
moon in your chart and the moon is the natural ruler of the fourth
house, I use the fourth house as a significant factor of the mother.
This house also covers the one that nurtures, which is primarily
the mother. The 4th house cusp is formed in your chart by the IC,
the Imum Coeli. This is the lowest point of the chart, the nadir, on
the zodiac wheel. This is why it is described as being our roots,
our foundation of life. This point is directly opposite the
Midheaven (MC) or the tenth house. Cancer is the sign that
governs the 4th house in the natural zodiac. Unhappy feelings are
a lot like weeds. Neglect to take them up by the roots and they'll
just grow back again. Yet who probes willingly into the soil where
emotions grow? Finding the roots of feeling can be hard. You
might learn this under the gray skies of a Saturn/Moon transit. If
you're like most people, you'll try to ignore your depression. You'll
put on a happy face for loved ones. You'll pretend to be caring,
cool-headed or commanding at work. You'll send energy to your
1st house image, your 7th house partner, or your 10th house
career. But eventually, inexorably, you'll fall. And the 4th house is
where you'll land. The 4th is where we go when we collapse. It
rules home and family, ancestors and homeland. It provides a
literal retreat. Push ourselves too hard and we'll likely end up at
home, sick in bed. Suffer a devastating loss and we may knock on
the door of a family member and ask to be taken in. But the 4th is
just as much a retreat of the imagination. It is our psychic hearth.
It holds the memories that both comfort and haunt us. As the base
of our chart, it represents both the ground and mystery of our
being. If we lean over the chasm of the 4th, we'll find, as the poet
Rilke wrote, something dark and like a web, where a hundred
roots are silently drinking. The 4th house in any birth chart has
various significations such as house, vehicles, peace of mind,
mother etc. Generally most astrologers look at the 4th house with
a view to deciphering whether the native will be blessed with
comforts and vehicles. A significant aspect of 4th house is
attributable to mental peace and inner purity. Generally 6th lord in
4 goes under the name "Kapata Yoga" or yoga for becoming a
thief. It generally refers to lack of cohesion in thought, word and
deed. Malefics in 4 or aspecting the 4th house make a person
deceitful in all dealings and this in turn deprives the native of
peace of mind. Mental stress is caused if the 4th house is
aspected by malefics. In medical astrology malefics in 4 can lead
to cardiac problems. Mars is "Bhoomi Karaka", if Mars is afflicted
in the 4th, one will be bereft of happiness and also property
related dealings will suffer. To understand the full features of 4th
house we need to look at Moon, Mars and Mercury. Moon is the
karaka for mother. So Moon and the 4th lord both afflicted lead to
deprivation of maternal happiness. The greatest source of joy and
comfort in this world is a loving mother. There is a saying that
when a person is born, God also designates a "Guardian Angel"
to look after that person. We know that a loving mother is the
physical equivalent of that Guardian Angel. When Moon is
afflicted, one's mother will not be of any help to the native. So that
could be one causative factor for mental anguish. "Insanity or
madness will not be present unless the Moon and Mercury are
involved in heavy afflictions". This is because Moon rules the
mind and Mercury rules certain emotions like sense of humour.
To conclude, one will be blessed with peace of mind, happiness
and comforts if the 4th house and 4th lord are free of any blamish
of any sort. Benefics such as Jupiter or Venus aspecting the 4th
house would also give a person, cheerfulness, joy and
enthusiasm.Today most doctors all over the world assess a
person's state of mind before writing out a prescription.Stress is
now considered as a serious causative factor in many
psychosomatic disorders.So all afflictions to the 4th need to be
reckoned before diagnosis of such disorders is made. REMEDIAL
MEASURES To treat often mental problems moon stone along
with panch mukhi rudraksha and yellow saffire are used for
healing. Silver made Chandra yantra is given to wear it in neck.

R- Revolutionary mindset
A- Awful, gives awareness
H- Hallucinations, hypnotism, and hidden
U- Unexpected, unrecognized diseases.
While assessing a horoscope if we dont consider the role of the
nodes- Rahu and Ketu, efforts are a waste. Since these nodes
have not been assigned the ruler ship of any house, are generally
ignored by some of our esteemed astrologers, but these very
nodes have the potential of dynamite- either so called for good
and bad. Before we come to the conclusion let us first consider
the nature of the planet Rahu In this article.
Rahu comes from the sanskrit word Rah means hide - that
refers to what is secret, mysterious and profound. Rahu is the
luck factor behind instant success or failure. Rahu is supposed to
be the naughty though mighty child of Maya which is not only
illusion- but also any magical power or force or captivating
knowledge that can be capable to turn the life of a person like the
wheel of fortune for the best or the worst.
Rahu Naam Vipritam- Rahu can be compared with a coin having
two sides with opposite nature- Rahu represents criminals and at
the same time represents detective who pursues the criminal,
Rahu is the force acting through a healer, who cures the diseases
which Rahu itself signifies. So an important duality is attached to
Rahu - Poison neutralizing poison that must be understood.
Rahu is called a shadowy planet, a chaya graha, as it loves all
kinds of shadowy activities. It is the ruler of the artificial lighting as
it tries to imitate Sun, so all types of photography used by
television and cinema, are part of Rahus influence. It is the planet
of creativity and inspiration and is responsible for the information
technology i.e. the internet and the World Wide Web as it signifies
foreigners and combined activities.
Rahu is the planet of intuition, and may be called the master of
manipulation. Rahu can be considered to be expert among the
planets when it comes to scheming and plotting that is why it can
be said to be the better politician than Saturn. Rahu is the luck
factor behind instant success or failure, its result both good and
bad manifests in such an unexpected manner that the native
involved hardly has any time to react to the situation.
Rahu is supposed to maintain friendly relationship with Mercury,
Venus and Saturn. It is neutral towards Jupiter and Mars, and
maintains enmity with Sun and Moon. According to the ancient
Vedic system, nature has three major gunas- rajasic, satavic, and
tamasic. Rahu can function in all the three modes. Rahu gives
prosperity when functions in a rajasic mode, Rahu gives
knowledge and wisdom when functions in a satavic mode, Rahu
gives inertia, inactivity, demonic tendencies and destruction when
functions in tamasic mode. Rahu likes the night time - this is
probably the reason why most criminals choose night time for
their activities.
As it has not been assigned the ruler-ship of any houses, Rahu
takes the traits of the sign in which it is posited or with whom it is
posited. So the signification of Rahu follows directly from its
nature and disposition.
When Rahu combines Venus- sexual offences and deviation are
the results.
Rahu with Mars - brutality, revolution, insensitivity and
ruthlessness.
Rahu with Saturn- excessive rigidity and orthodoxy, unnecessary
tortures.
Rahu with Jupiter -religious bigotry, misuse of position and
authority, excessive materialism.
Rahu with Sun- self aggrandizement, power and control games,
fascination for the unusual.
Rahu with Moon- fear and phobia, emotional and psychological
disturbances.
Rahu with Mercury- lying, deceit, trickery, harmful intent,
versatility, quickness of thoughts and communication ability.
It is generally seen that the house where this planet is posited
gets highlighted and the native usually experiences a certain
degree of luck or unusual happening as far as its signification is
concerned. In this topic we will discuss Rahus role placed in 4th
house with Venus in its debilitation, in Sagittarius and involve in
Kaal Sarpa dosha.
The native started Rahu major period when he was 18 years old,
because of its association with Venus, the native played the role
of revolutionary throughout the Rahu mahadasa, only to fulfill his
strong urge for comfort and luxury. It made him the slave of his
own desires and promoted greed and deceit to gain his own ends.
This is primarily materialistic placement which assures success in
Venusian pursuits that also proved that sex is the root of
everything. As this combination takes place in 4th house it helped
him gain the property but created immense troubles for the
mother and disturbed inner peace to the extent that his mother
lost her life, and because of Saturns placement in the 10th house
with Ketu , the native could not put his efforts to establish
professionally. He shattered the hopes and the expectations of
the parents.
Such is the intensity of this planet, by heart the native is good,
cant even think to harm others , but due to its illusory nature the
native was the victim in the hands of this planet, and all the
significations connected to the 4th house blown away like a
dynamite.
However to calm down the negative effects of the planet, one
must recite the following mantra 108 times (one mala) everyday-
Om Bhram Bhrim Bhraum Sah Rahve Namah
Wednesday and Saturday are the days assigned to the planet.
One must feed the birds with bajra on these days and must
worship Goddess Durga every day.
Note- The incident mentioned in this article is based on real life of
a native whose birth details are like these- DOB-19-02-1974,

There have been innumerable discussions about the most
dreaded planet SATURN. People are scared when they come to
know that their Saturn dasha is about to start or they are
undergoing the Sade Sati or Dhaiya of Saturn. There is no doubt
that Saturn is called a malefic planet, who as a judge takes
control of our Karmic actions. He is a slow task master, who gives
the results very slowly. He has got tedi (vakri) drishti which is
supposed to have evil effects wherever it rests.
SATURN = SA+TURN as the name suggests- turns the things
around and brings adversities. There is no denying the fact that
due to its malefic nature it harms the native whenever its Dasa or
Antardasa comes. In its positive plane it makes the person Karma
oriented & makes life clear as a crystal. As you sow so shall you
reap. This planet takes away from you the most desirable things
of your life, gives you setbacks, but at the same time puts you on
the right path, gives you self realization. If you follow the right
path, this planet confers on you all the happiness & fills your life
with abundance.
In this topic we will discuss Saturns role in the horoscopes and
how this planet works for Aries & Taurus ascendant people. In
Aries ascendant, Saturn owns two houses 10th (karamsthan)
&11th house (labhsthan). The 11th house from any moveable
ascendants is the Badhaka Sthana and the lord of this house is
called Badhakadhipati (an obstructing force). Hence, the role of
Saturn for Aries ascendant is not good. Saturn gets exalted in
Venus sign- Libra and is debilitated in Mars sign Aries. Saturn
casts its aspect on 3rd, 7th, & 10th houses.
In Taurus ascendant, Saturn becomes a Yoga Karak planet. A
planet which is lord of Kendra Sthan and also of a Trikona Sthan
(because of the dual lordship of the houses) becomes Yogakarak
by itself, and confers good results in its Dasa and Antardasa. In
Taurus ascendant, Saturn owns two houses the 9th( Lakshmi)
sthan and 10th( Vishnu) sthan. Being Yogakarak, if it is placed in
kendra sthan from lagna, it gives good results concerning that
bhava. For example, in Taurus ascendant, if the Yogakari Saturn
is placed in 7th house, it enhances the good results of this bhava.
The spouse belongs to a good family with high ideals and
principals in life. From 7th bhava it aspects the lagna from its 7th
aspects, hence fortifies lagna, it casts its 3th aspect on the 9th
house, since it is its own house, it gives good results concerning
to 9th house. If any other planet is placed in the 9th house, Saturn
offers extremely good results through that planet. Also, whenever
Dasa and Antardasa arrive of that planet, Saturn aspects its 10th
aspect on 4th house and if any planet is positioned there that
planet is also fortified.
Lord Krishnas horoscope is the best example in this context. The
immortal Bhagvadgita, preached by the Lord, when Arjuna
became uncertain about his duty, Krishnas sermons inspired the
moral and spiritual thought and actions of innumerable persons
and offered solutions to their problems. He showed the way to do
the things and to do ones duty by being non-attached and further
illustrated this in His own life.
With this analysis of the planet Saturn, we sum up that we should
not be scared whenever there is dasa or antardasa, rather we
should prepare ourselves with the inherent qualities which this
planet has as the karmic controller of all the human beings on this
earth. It is endowed with the power to punish or reward according
to our karmas.
However, to ward off the evil effects of sade sati or dhaiya, we
should chant this mantra with great devotion on every Saturday-
Om Sham Shaneshcharay Namah, and do japa of 10 names of
Saturn everyday-
Om Konasthaye Namah
'Om Raudratamkay Namah'
'Om Yamay Namah'
'Om Babharve Namah'
'Om Manday Namah'
'Om Pipplaye Namah'
'Om Pinglaye Namah'
'Om Shaneshcharaye Namah'
'Om Saurye Namah'
'Om krishnaye Namah'
'Om chayaatamjaye Namah'

Man takes birth. The struggle for existence begins since then.
Fate and destiny bring him face to face with his
Karmas. Astrology would make us believe that ones past Karmas
as well as present Karmas conjoin to shape mans Karmakshetra.
The stage when the Karmas begin to manifest in rewards can be
tentatively called that portion of ones life when service begins, or
a shop is opened. Various careers await everybody. In
accordance with qualifications and experience, one enters the
professional field. In the Hindu way of life, there are the famous
sixteen Samskaras through which one human life passes.
Unfortunately, going to workplace is not one of those sixteen
Samskaras. All in all, the 12 houses of the horoscope reserves
the tenth house for ones professional life, from where we
delineate the multifarious facets of a career.Strictly speaking, in
the long-drawn struggle in every mans life span is the most trying
and demanding phase is his capability to earn money. And money
comes by toiling. Every activity performed be it a job, a contract,
a shop- results in reward of money. Therefore, predicting about
ones profession is quite a tricky affair. For the time being if it is
taken as granted that profession is another name for toil, then
necessarily there is element of Martian character creeping in. For
good reasons, we can ruminate that 10th House in the Kaal
Purush Kundli is the exalted Rashi of Mars, from where it aspects
the Lagna and the 4th House, as also the 5th House. Since
Jupiter occupies 4th House being in its exaltation, Rashi and
Jupiter is 9th lord, the link between 1st, 5th and 9th houses gets
established. The grand scheme of the Creator goes a little further
also. The 5th Lord Sun occupies, Lagna being its exaltation sign,
which Mars aspects. These three are the Dharma houses.
Performing our Karma is nothing but our Dharma. In delineating
profession, we have to scrutinize Rashi Chart, Navamsha and the
Dashamsha. A- Rashi chart Look for Lagna and its Lord.
Examine 10th from Lagna, the Moon and the Sun. See 10th
from Arudha Lagna also. Strength/weakness of dispositor of
Rashi 10th Lord be seen. B- Navamsha Chart 10th House,10th
Lord from Navamsha Lagna. 10th House, 10th Lord from
Karkamsha Lagna. whether 10th Lord of Rashi in friendly/enemy
Navamsha. C- Dashamsha Chart 10th House and its Lord.
Position of 10th Lord of D/1 in D/10 is also important. It ensures
good career, if in exaltation, own sign. Lagna and location of its
Lord also ensures good career. If a common planet emerges from
A,B,C above or two planets may have connections with each
other in Rashi chart and having relationship through their
Nakshatras, one is able to pinpoint the planet which is going to
influence the career profile of the native. Gains through Yogas
Parashari System : Wealth giving Yogas play an important part in
getting gains through profession. If planets connected with these
Yogas happen to be present at the start, or middle of profession,
one can get a boost in the career. Jaimini system : AK, AmK, PK,
DK and 5th Lords are the planets that are givers of gains. Any
two, or more out of five, if aspecting Chara Dasha, MP/AD shall
definitely give gains through profession. While examining the first
salary drawn, following rules are to be seen: Amk should
influence MP/AD, or be in 10th/11th from them. Indu
Lagna/Lagnesh should influence MP/AD, or be in 10th/11th from
them. AmK in transit is either influencing MP/AD, or is in 10th/11th
from them. Sat and Jup in transit show a connection with 10th
House, or 10th Lord from Lagna. Dashas and Transit Dasha of
Lagna Lord/10th Lord/exalted planets shall give gains. If benefic
Dashas succeed one after the other at prime time, one is poised
to make spectacular gains. Dasha of Lagna Nakshatra Lord
always gives gains in MP/AD. Dashas of Yogda planets of first
order are very beneficial for a boost in the profession. Yogda
planet is one which aspects by Jaimini method Lagnas of D/1, D/3
and D/9 charts. Dashas of Yogi Planets always give good results
(Yogi planet is calculated by adding longitudes of Sun and Moon
and a constant of 3Rashi-3 degree-20 Minutes. The star Lord of
the resultant is known as Yogi Planet. Transit of Saturn and
Jupiter should have a positive aspect of the planet that had
emerged as a profession Lord of the native or with 10th House, or
10th Lord. Ashtakavarga Bindus If Bindus in 5th House are less
than those in 10th House, one enjoys the career, because 10th
House is 6th from 5th House. If 11th House has more Bindus than
10th house, it is a good omen for better career, because it
suggests that gains are more than the effort Example In order to
understand the above mentioned principles chart of a female
native is given below for delineation of profession. DOB 15-10-
1984 at 12.33Hours. Lat 28N26 Long 77E19. Mercury is
appearing as the 10th Lord from Lagna, Moon Lagna, Arudh
Lagna in D/1 chart and Lagna, Karkamsha Lagna in D/9 chart.
Mercury, Moon and Sun are in the Nakshatra of Mars. Rahu is
placed in the Nakshatra of Sun. Moon and Mercury are
Vargottama. Native is presently doing MCA/BCA. Yogas:
Parashari: Powerful Vipreet Rajyoga. 8th lord Moon in 6th and 6th
lord in 12th. Also Dhana Yoga prevails because 2nd Lord Saturn
in 11th and the 10th Lord Mercury in 11th. Jaimini : AK Sun, PK
Jupiter and 5th lord Mars aspect each other and Thereby form a
powerful Rajyoga. Yogda Planet : There is no Yogda of the first
order. But Jup and Mars are in Lagna of D/1 and D/3 plus Sun
aspects Lagnas of D/1 and D/9. These three-Jupiter, Mars and
Sun qualify to become Yogdas of the second order and contain a
promise to help the native in career. Yogi Planet is Jupiter in the
Nakshatra of Ketu. Nakshatra lord of ascendant is Venus and its
placement in Rashi chart with Ketu in 12th house is considered to
be good. Exalted planets are Rahu, Moon and Saturn in Rashi
chart. Ashtakavarga Bindus in 5th, 10th and 11th houses
respectively are 22,. 31 and 38. Parashari Method Dasha system:
Native is likely to pass out in Rahu-Moon and Rahu-Mars periods
( 1/2005 to 8/2007). Since Rahu and Moon both are exalted, they
will most likely assist the native in clearing the MCA in 4/2007.
Soon after the native clears the MCA, a job placement may be
awaiting in the wings, because the period shall be Rahu-Mars
(7/2006 to 8/2007). Two factors are likely to trigger this event: (a)
Rahu is 6th lord, which represents service and in Nakshatra of
Sun (9th lord) and aspecting 10th and 2nd houses. (b) Mars is
5th/12th lord in Lagna, with powerful Lagna lord and also Yogda
planet of second order. Transit: Transit and sojourn of Saturn in
Cancer wef 9/2004 to3/2007 aspecting 10th house and 2nd house
is auspicious. Later when Saturn reaches Leo in March, 2007, it
will aspect 2nd lord, 3rd house and MP lord Rahu. Transit of
Jupiter in Scorpio takes place in 8/2006, from where it aspects
MP lord Rahu and the 6th House. Thus it is seen that this transit
is helping and aiding Dashas in getting promised results in Lagna
chart. Ashtakavarga Bindus: 5th house down and 10th up. 22 vs
31 Bindus with support of 38 in 11th house tell their own story in
respect of rewards from career. SPECTACULAR gains, if
supported by good Dashas one after the other at proper time.
When MP of Rahu ends in 8/2007 at the age of 23, Jup shall
operate upto 2023. Jupiter is Lagna lord and 4th lord in Lagna
with Mars (5th and 12th Lord) and aspect of Saturn (2nd and 3rd
Lord) Jupiter is Yogda planet of 2nd order and a Yogi Planet in
the Nakshatra of Ketu. Ketu is exalted in 12th house with 6th and
12th lord Venus and it is likely to support Jupiter. Thus the
Mahadasha of Jupiter should see the native scaling new heights
of career. Mallika Yoga : When 7 or more planets are posited in
continuous houses, Mallika Yoga is formed. In this case 9th lord is
in 10th, 10th lord is in 11th, 11th lord is in 12rth, 12th lord is in
Lagna and Lagna Lord in Lagna itself. It is quite a feature that 4
planets are posited in progression, forming the famous Mallika
Yoga, which promises high financial status and popularity to the
native. Jaiminis Principals and Applications In order to work out
first salary income of the native, following steps should be studied
(as already pointed out in this essay) : Moon the AmK should
influence MP/AD or be in 10th or 11th from them. The Chara
Dasha of Virgo runs from 10/1998 to 10/2009, while the AD of
Gemini operates from 2/2006 to 1/2007, thereafter Cancer takes
over wef 1/2007 to 12/2007. Moon misses to influence the Virgo
Rashi but definitely does so in the case of Cancer, which it
aspects and is 11th from it. Indu Lagna Scorpio aspects Lord of
Virgo (Mercury) as well as Cancer the AD Lord. Indu Lagnesh
Mars aspects Virgo the MP Rashi and 10th from it. Out of 5
forceful stations which matter, AK AMK PK -DK and 5th Lord,
3 are aspecting MP Virgo and majority aspect the AD of Gemini
and Cancer. AmK in transit, i.e. Moon, shall always influence
MP of Virgo and the AD Rashis, since it is a fast moving planet.
The transit of major planets Saturn and Jupiter is, however, not so
clear in aspecting the 10th House, or the 10th Lord, although the
transit of Jupiter on 28th Aug 2004 in Virgo is positing of Jupiter in
10th House itself. AK (Sun) PK(Jupiter)and 5th lord (Mars) are
all aspecting each other from powerful positions, thus making a
grand Rajyoga. This combination is relevant not only in the MP of
Virgo, but shall also continue to dominate in the MP of Sagittarius.

Significance of Gulika April 2012
Suresh Chandra Mishra
Articles in this Issue | Related Articles | Views : 410 |
Gulika also called as Maandi, holds a position of prime
importance in the evaluation of a natal chart. Like Rahu and Ketu,
having no physical existence it always makes a difference in the
natal chart output. By nature it surpasses all natural or functional
malefics. Gulika or Maandi In Vedic astrology, Gulika or Maandi
are considered synonymous although some people consider them
as different entity differentiate between them. Gulika denotes a
certain segment of time ruled by Saturn. The word 'Maandi' is
derived from Manda, another name of Saturn. According to the
Brihat Prashara Hora Shastra ( #
(d;0 Fixing the Gulika The position of Gulika is
different for daytime (from sunrise to sunset) and night-time (from
sunset to sunrise). The duration of the day or of the night(as the
case may be) is divided into eight parts. The segment belonging
to Saturn is known as Gulika. For daytime, the first segment
belongs to the planetary lord of the weekday on which Gulika is to
be determined. The next segment belongs to the planetary lord of
the subsequent weekday and so on till the seventh segment
belongs to the planetary lord of the weekday that falls fifth from
the weekday under consideration. The subsequent segments
belong similarly to other planets that rule the weekdays in natural
order. The eighth part here too is without a lord. In each case the
part belonging to Saturn is called as Gulika. The Controversy
Some people opine that the cusp for the ending moment of
Saturn's part is the Gulika Sphut. However, this concept results in
an erroneous understanding of the following shloka from the
Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra. 0f #
m(0 0 1H # That is : The
cusp of the sign rising at the beginning of the Gulika segment is
considered as Gulika. From this the chart must be analysed.
Results of Gulika Gulika in the first house most certainly reduces
the good results of the chart. The impact is maximum in terms of
malevolence when the cusp of the lagna and the Gulika are close
in degrees. This means that birth taking place at the
commencement of the Gulika -Kaala suffers the maximum
affiction. In such a situation, the Raja-yogas or other benefic
yogas lose their potence. The phaladeepika states. 0 #
(3 . E When the nakshatra of the lagna and
Gulika are mutually trinal, the basic benevolence of the lagna
nakshatra lord (LNL) is lost. Nakshatras 1,10 and 19 from each
other are mutually trinal. Gulika spoils the benefic significations of
most of the houses by occupying them. Thus, all troubles ensue
when Gulika occupies the lagna. In the second house, it curtails
family comforts and financial savings. Poor social status results
when Gulika occupies the fourth house. In the fifth, it leads to
troubles from progeny And so on. Of all the sub-planets, Gulika
and Yamakantaka (the sub-planet represented by Jupiter's
segment) surpass all others in maleficence and beneficence
respectively. Only in house 3,6,10 and 11 Gulika generates
beneficial results. In the tenth house, however, it indicates delay
in getting established in a career. The good results of Gulika
(from its placement in the above houses) are lost when the rashi
and navamsha lords of Gulika are neecha (debilitated) or
combust. Gulika with natural Karakas The association of Gulika
with a natural Karaka always destroys the good effects of that
Karaka. Classics hold the opinion that Gulika conjunct with the
Sun creates lack of comforts for father, with the Moon it is bad for
mother, and with Mars it is adverse for brother. when Gulika joins
Mercury, the native becomes mentally disturbed. With Jupiter, the
native becomes a hypocrite. Gulika with Venus brings troubles
from women and ruins marital life. Association with Saturn leads
to disease and skin disorder, with Rahu it leads to proneness to
infection, and with Ketu fear from fire. Gulika can alter the results
of other planetary yogas in the chart. All good yogas are lost
when the birth time and the gulika-kaala coincide together with
another inauspicious factor like Mahapaata, Gandanta, Visha-
Ghati, etc. (refer to our book : Panchadhyayee) A Special Rule A
point 180 from Gulika is also considered as acutely malefic in the
natal chart. This point must be taken into consideration when the
lethal potential of a planet is to be determined. This is better
known as the Pramaana Gulika in Vedic astrology. The dispositor
of Gulika or Pramaana Gulika may prove fatal during its dasha,
etc., displacing the other maraka or killer planets. Dashas and
Transits The dasha periods of the dispositor of Gulika or its
navamsha lord may prove hazardous. Gulika in houses 1,5 or 9
authorises the lagna lord to disburse the maraka effect during its
dasha. Trouble results during the dasha of a planet that happens
to be an associate of Gulika in the rashi chart. Severe troubles
are also likely during the dasha of any planet associating with
Gulika in the navamsha or the dwadashamsha charts. Specially
adverse results ensure during the dasha periods, of Jupiter or
Saturn when they associate with Gulika in the navamsha, or the
dasha of the Sun when it associates with Gulika in the
dwadashamsha, or that of the Moon associating with Gulika in the
Trimshamsha chart. The Pramaana Gulika deserves the same
treatment as Gulika (vide supra). The transit of Saturn and
Jupiter over the navamsha sign lord of gulika, that of the Sun over
the Dwadashamsha sign lord of Gulika, and that of the Moon over
the Trimshamsha sign lord of Gulika, put the native in trouble.
This is according to the prashna Marrga, which states. (A
,
; 1 / Es,
L3t
All trikona (1,5,9) rashis should be considered in
application of transits. Gulika and accidents Gulika is extremely
important as an active killer in vedic astrology. It is used in the
judgement of longevity, along with dasha and transit. The latna,
the Moon and Gulika falling in Dwiswabha (dual) or Sthira (fixed)
signs prompt multiple ailments and fatality. In Chara (movable)
signs, they lead to good health and long life. The lagna, the
Moon and Gulika falling in mutual trikonas in the navamsha chart,
particularly in rashis 4,8 and 12 are fatal. Such a native is disease
prone and accident prone. This is according to the following
dictum of the Prashna Margga : (( L3
@A uEL3 @ Gulika and
Longevity For the calculation of longevity, the lagna, the Moon,
the Sun and Gulika are all important. A special rule for
assessment of longevity involves using the cusp of the lagna and
the longitudes of the Sun, the Moon and Gulika. This is as follows
: Lagna + 5 +Gulika = Prana Sphut. Moon + 8 + Gulika = Deha
Sphut Gulika + 7 + Sun = Mrityu Sphut When the sum of Prana
and Deha is more than the Mrityu, the native is likely to live long.
However, if Mrityu is bigger than the sum of Prana and Deha, a
sudden end of life is indicated. In the chart of late Indian Prime
Minister Indira Gandhi (November 19, 1917, at 23:11 hours IST :
at 25 N27', 81E51') the lagna is 3s2722', the Sun is 7s0407',
the Moon 9s0535' and Gulika 1s2923'. The sum of Prana and
Deha is 1s0216' while Mrityu is 2s1504'. The native met a tragic
end. Although Gulika is favoured in the third house, it turns
death-inflicting when joined by or aspected by Saturn. Gulika in
the third with the Moon or receiving the full aspect of the Moon
causes tuberculosis or other internal fatal disease. Daily Results
of Gulika Add the cusp of the lagna to the 'longitude' of Gulika.
The month when the Sun transits the resultant sign leads to
troubles and miseries. The most hazardous day is when the
Moon transits the sign obtained from adding the longitude of the
Moon to that of Gulika. Add the lagna, the Moon and Gulika. The
resulttant 'rashi' is to be considered fata. The month, the day and
the lagna indicated by the sum obtained above must be avoided
in all major ventures. Gulika may ensure successful conception
when : (i) Gulika and the Moon are in the same sign, (ii) Gulika is
with the fifth lord, (iii) Gulika is aspected by the fifth lord, (iv)
Gulika is in the other sign of the fifth lord, (v) Navamsha lords of
Gulika and the Moon are related mutually. A successful
conception results when Jupiter transits the trines of Gulika rashi
or Gulika navamsha rashi. When Gulika is in any of the first six
rashis (Mesha to Kanya), consider the transit of Jupiter from the
Gulika rashi. When it is in the last six signs (Tula to Meena),
consider the transit from Gulika navamsha rashi. Raja -yoga from
Gulika The Phaladeepika states. The dispositor of Gulika, or its
navamsha lord, placed in a kendra or trikona, or in its own sign or
in exaltation, nullifies the adverse effects of Gulika and gives yoga
effects, though its lethal propensity (markatwa) would remain
intact. To mitigate the Evil The evil of Gulika must be neutralised
by prescribed remedies, Says Prashara : 0 2;
1 Prashara thus recommends that one should
worship lord Shiva regularly in the evening, bow down to the Sun-
god and lord Vishnu in the morning, and light a holy lamp of 'ghee'
before Lord Shiva in a temple. This would defy the evil arising out
of an adverse disposition of Gulika.

Jupiter is the largest planet of Solar system and karaka of all the
attributes listed above. Jupiter is highly benefic, auspicious,
devotional planet and is often called the planet of fortune, the
Guru of God. He is the significator (karaka) of prosperity,
marriage, progeny and for all good things in life as well. People
take sigh of relief when they come to know that they are under the
influence of dasha of Jupiter. If Sun & Moon are like the King and
Queen of the Royal family, Mercury the Prince, Mars the
Commander In Chief, Venus for all the luxuries, Saturn for all the
subordinates, Jupiter is the Priest - who is divine, true & sattavik
by nature. Jupiter in Sanskrit is known as Brahaspati or GURU
and GURU holds a prime importance in anyones life, sometimes
more than mother & father.
GURU GOBIND DOU KHRE, KAKE LAGU PAYE
BALIHARI GURU APNE, GURU GOBIND DIYO BATAYE.
In Kalapurush Kundli, Jupiter is the Lord of 9th (Bhagyasthan) &
12th(vyayasthan) houses. It aspects 5th, 7th, & 9th houses. His
aspect is more benefic than His placement, wherever His aspect
goes, those houses flourish & expand. For ex if Jupiter is placed
in 9th house, 1st, 3rd, & 5th houses. For example, wherever
a horoscope gets aspects of Jupiter, it become auspicious.
There is always a feel good factor with this Planet. A true
Jupitarian ( in whose horoscope Jupiter is well placed without any
malefic influence) is not only blessed with a certain kind of aura &
a divine spark in his personality, but if there are any doshas in
his horoscope , they also get cancelled and the native leads a
smooth & happy life.
Jupiter represents the drive for insight on an intellectual,
philosophical, & religious level. Jupiter is said to bring great good
fortune, & his influence is to expand the effect of everything that
come into contact with it. Jupiter takes 12 years to orbit the Sun,
He spends almost one year in each sign. Therefore, his influence
is very important & more inclined to the collective rather than
personal.
However, in todays fast life where Mercury s gifts-
communication gadgets are plenty, Venus blooms with all its
materialistic comforts, Mars and Saturns energy heat up the
environment with all their machines & atomic bombs, there is
urgent call for Jupiters calm & peaceful bliss.

Planetary Aspects
All Planets aspect 7th house from the position occupied by them.
However Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Rahu, Ketu, have special aspect
besides 7th aspect. The planetary aspects are as under:-
Sun, Mercury, Venus - 7th
Mars - 4th, 7th, 8th,
Jupiter, Rahu, Ketu - 5th, 7th, 9th
Saturn - 3rd, 7th, 10th
meaning, "When in a horoscope the lords of the 9th and the 10th house
together occupy an auspicious house, it constitutes a Raja Yogaa. When
the lords of other Kendra and Trikona houses are similarly placed, i.e.,
join together in an auspicious house, the resulting Yoga is called
'Sankha'. The Raj Yoga formed by the 9th (dharma) and 10th (Karma)
lords is famous as Dharma-Karmadhipati Raja Yoga (DKRY).The native
with strong DKRY in his horoscope attains high status, success and
fame in his profession. The native born with Sankha Yoga is blessed
with all types of comforts in life.

3. Astrology: An Introduction
E I #35 . 1 2
E A
1 cruel, harsh in speech, hates women, dull-witted,
earns livelihood with the help of others and has a big family.
It is observed that the culmination of progress in an
individuals life is directly related to the tithi on which the birth
takes place in Shukla Paksha from the New Moon till the Full
Moon. On the other hand, those born in Krishna paksha
seem to have difficulty in adjusting themselves in their
environment and subject to other indications in
the horoscope, are not as successful. Krishna Paksha
people born in wealthy families in many cases end up in
poverty or lose their authority and power, unless there are
other strong favourable Yogas to sustain them in life. To
elaborate the point further, a person born at the New Moon
in a poor family rises slowly and surely through his own
efforts to a position of prominence and fame. His progress
would extend over his entire life, and at the time of death he
would be in a much higher position than at any other
previous time In his life. A person born midway between
Shukla Pratipada and Poornima would peak at about middle
age and start decline from that time till the close of his life.
An individual born at Full Moon or a few tithis before it, is
quite likely to be born in a wealthy and distinguished family
and starts his life full of promise and opportunities, but
somehow experiences decline and might fade away into
insignificance. Conversely, persons born in Krishna Paksha
immediately after Full Moon show a gradual decline
extending over a long period. When the birth takes place
half-way between Poornima and Amavasya, this
degeneration will culminate at middle age and from that point
the person will experience a gradual rise. An individual born
just before Amavasya will be frivolous and dull in early years,
but near about his youth his life will take a positive turn for
the better. The growth of those born in Shukla Paksha and
the decadence and degeneration of those born in Krishna
Paksha according to Hinduism is the result of ones
prarabdha (result of deeds of past lives) which is working out
in this life, beyond the control of the individual. This is
reflected through the location of the Moon at birth. Other
planetary position and operation of dasa-bhukti of planets
generally corroborate the findings based on birth tithi. In
case of Krishna Paksha birth, benefic dasas generally come
late in life. Discussion of Horoscopes 1) Shri Atal Behari
Vajpayee was born on Krishna Chaturdasi, just before
Shukla Paksha, in a mediocre family. After completing his
education he made steady rise in his political career. Exalted
Yogakarka Saturn in Lagna forming Sas Yoga gave its
result during Rahu dasa(Sani vat Rahu). After holding many
ministerial posts, and remaining Leader of Opposition he
became Prime Minister of India. He is respected by all the
parties. 2) Smt. Indira Gandhi was born on Shukla Shasti
with 9th lord Jupiter aspecting 2nd lord Sun in 5th house,
she was born in a prosperous and powerful family. After
Independence, she worked behind the scene for her
illustrious father and first Prime Minister of India. On her
fathers death in 1964 she was elected M.P. for the first time
and remained Minister for Information and Broadcasting in
Shri Lal Bahadurs Ministry. On his death she assumed the
office of Prime Minister in 1966 and held it till 1977 when she
lost election. She regained office during 1980, and was
assasinated in October, l984. Being born in about middle of
Shukla Paksha she had charming personality and enjoyed
affluence. She came into limelight in middle age after her
fathers death and after two years became P.M. The end
came suddenly and removed her from Indian political scene.
3) Male: The native was born during middle of Krishna
Paksha, in: an ordinary family, due to which he could not
study after Matriculation. He started his career as typist in a
Govt. office and by the dint of his hard work retired as private
Secretary. As 5th lord Jupiter and 9th lord Moon are forming
Gajkesari Yoga in 10th house, after retirement, at the
beginning of Jupiter dasa, he joined a Private Firm drawing
more pay than he was drawing at retirement. His two sons
are well placed and look after him and his wife very well. The
native is leading a comfortable life. It may be noted that the
best dasa of Jupiter came after retirement and gave its
benefic result in his old age. 4. Female: The lady was born
on Shukla Chaturdasi in Sun dasa. Her education suffered
due to her mothers illness, yet she completed her
M.A.(Eng.), B. Ed. She had to leave teaching assignments
due to some reason or the other. In short she did not get
result commensurate with her efforts so far. Shortly after
birth started Krishna Paksha, the sequence of dasas has not
been helpful, and she has struggled in life.
What is a House?
The circle of the zodiac is divided into 12 divisions called houses.
Each house does not necessarily extend to 300 - it is either less or
more. According to the Vedic astrology, ascendant is the mid point
of the first house and mid heaven is the mid point of the tenth
house. A house starts approximately 150 before the mid point and
extends about 150 beyond the mid point. The point at which the
first house ends and next house starts is called "Bhava Sandhi" and
the house extends from first Sandhi to the next. However, the
whole sign does not fall in one house. A house normally extends
over two signs. Each planet, depending upon its degree, falls in one
sign and one house. The house as visible in the Lagna chart is not
the planet's actual house position.
House division
For any date, time and place, there are some stars rising in the
eastern origin and some stars setting in the western horizon. This is
because of the earth's rotation around its axis. The eastern horizon
is called the first house, whereas the western horizon is the 7th
house. The point above the head of the person is called the mid
heaven or the 10th house. In Indian system of house division the
rising point, the setting point and the mid heaven point are
considered the center of the 1st house, 7th house and 10th house
respectively, whereas in the western system these are considered
the starting points of the houses.
The planets Sun and Pluto to move to previous house as per Indian
system of house division, because Sun is at Cap 1014' and the 11th
house starts from Cap 30 5', hence leaving Sun in the 10th house.
Similarly Pluto is at Virgo 30 49', 7th house starts from Virgo 60
54' thus leaving Pluto in the 6th house. Hence Chalit chart is as
shown.
In the Chalit Chakra, it is clear from the placement that Sun and
Pluto to have moved out from their house to the previous house.
The cusp chart as per the western system is shown as follows :
Here Sat and Mon move to the 1st Cusp, Plu and Uranus in 6th
cusp Jupiter in 7th, Neptune in 8th and Sun in 10th, rest in the
same cusp as in Lagna.
If we do a comparative study we find the house of the planets in
the given horoscope in Lagna, Chalit and cuspal charts as follows:
Planet Lagna Chalit Cusp (Ind.Sys.) (Wes. Sys.)
Sun 11 10 10Mon 2 2 1Mar 12 12 12Mer 10 10 10Jup 8 8 7Ven 10
10 10Sat 2 2 1Rah 12 12 12Ket 6 6 6Ura 7 7 6Nep 9 9 8Plu 7 6 6
From the table we notice that many planets change their cuspal
position compared to Lagna chart whereas only a few change in
the Chalit chart. This is because in the cuspal chart ascendant
degree is taken as the start of the house and not the middle. So the
probability of change of house is increased. Secondly, in cusp
more planets move to the previous house, again because the start of
house in cusp is higher than in chalit.
Important
It is very important to consider the house division for correct
predictions. The planets show their behavior according to the
house they occupy. The behavior is enhanced depending upon its
strength, which is determined depending upon the sign or
Nakshatra it occupies. Hence use Lagna chart only to know the
sign in which a planet is posited and use Chalit chart to confirm the
house position of the planet. Do not take the aspects as per the
house or Lagna chart. Look at the degrees to determine if there is
any aspect between two planets.

Rahu should be at the upper end and ketu at the lower end.
There is no planet outside the arch.
That there is no planet conjuncting with Rahu or Ketu.
That all the seven planets should face Rahu,which is always
retrograde.
What is Kaal Sarp Yog result :
Rahu in first house and Ketu in 7th house: Downfall, loss of
position and reputation, mishappening, marital discord, loss
of wife and children.
Rahu in second house and Ketu in 8th house : Reduction in
wealth and health causes poverty, worries defects in body
and lot of travelling.
Rahu in 3rd house and Ketu in 9th house : Involved in
criminal activities, unpopular, waste energy and wealth,
selfish, accident prone and paralysis is possible.
Rahu in 4th house and Ketu in 10th house : Loss of property,
disappoint-ment, loss of job and business, unhappiness,
sarpdosha unhappy and unsettled life.
Rahu in 5th and Ketu in 11th house : Heavy losses in
litigation, failure in love affair, loss of children and betrayal by
friends.
Rahu in 6th house and Ketu in 12th house : imprisonment,
secret enemies, bad health and serious sickness and set
backs in married life.
Note : The impact is more severe if Rahu has support of Sun
and Saturn.
Duration of Kal-Sarpn Yoga :
Rahu in 1st house: upto 27 years of age.
Rahu in 2nd house: upto 33 years of age.
Rahu in 3rd house: upto 36 years of age.
Rahu in 4th house: upto 42 years of age.
Rahu in 5th house: upto 48 years of age.
Rahu in 6th house: upto 54 years of age.
Notes :
It causes malefic impact on houses occupied by Rahu and
Ketu.
It causes malefic impact on houses aspected by Rahu and
ketu.
It spoils the benefic planets joining with Rahu and Ketu.
It causes severe hardship when related with Sun and Saturn
or the lords of the houses occupied by Sun, Saturn,Rahu
and Ketu.
Its impact will be clearly noticed during periods and
interperiods of Rahu and Ketu.
Its impact is more severe when Rahu/Ketu are in 1,5 or 9th
position from themselves or Sun, Mars and Saturn.
Sometimes it pushes a man to great heights.
Sometimes it gives benefic results, when Rahu/Ketu are
aspected by benefic planets, specially Jupiter or Venus.
Ketu is always 180 degrees from the longitude of Rahu
In case Uranus, Neptune or Pluto are outside the arch of
Rahu and Ketu, no Kal-Sarp Yoga is formed.
Ketus aspect is less malefic than Rahu
Raja Yogas in the chart are more effective than Kal-Sarp
Yoga
This Yoga causes great harm to th4e family, society and
nation through the person who has Kal-Sarp Yoga
This Yoga plays important role in Mundane Astrology
Rahu joining ninth Mars in any chart create criminals or
suicide or serious accident or murder
Rahu and Saturn joining in any house destroy the 7th house,
the house opposite them
Rahu in transit creating relations with Jupiter or Venus gives
benefic results
Ketu moving over any planet is evil for the significations of
the concerned house
Rahu and Ketu generally behaves like lord of the sign
occupied by them or the planet conjuncting with them.
If Ascendant is outside the arch of Kal-Sarp Yoga, the
malefic impact is reduced.
The dispositors of Rahu and Ketu also play important role in
determining the benefic or malefic impact.
Rahu in 3rd or 6th house in Aries, Taurus or Cancer sign
does not give malefic results. It is benefic and gives benefic
results.
Rahu in 10th house or aspecting 10th house and its lord
along with Sun and Saturn destroy the natives career. In
case of 7th house separation and divorce id possible
Rahu and Mars in 3rd house causes accident and damages
to life.
Rahu + Mars + Sat in ascendant: Dangerous personality.
Astrology
In above mentioned yoga the Sun is not treated as a malefic planet and
so is the case with sign Leo. Thus the malefic signs are Aries, Scorpio,
Capricorn and Aquarius while the malefic planets are Mars, Saturn and
Rahu/Ketu.
Further the Sage opines that results mentioned in first sutra are not to be
pronounced in case the planets involved are benefics and same holds
good by the aspect or by occupancy of the Sun.
When the Up-pada itself or its 2nd house contains sign Gemini even
then the native will be a polygamist.
The sign rising in ascendant is Gemini While 12th contain sign Taurus.
This 12th house is tenanted by three planets viz. Jupiter, Venus and
Rahu. Since the lord of 12th house has not moved hence Up-pada is
Taurus it self. Now the 2nd house from Up-pada has sign Gemini and
the native is known polygamist.
In case Up-pada or its 2nd house is tenanted by the lord of sign falling in
said houses or lord of Up-pada or its 2nd house be placed in its own sign
native is likely to loose his/her spouse after the age of 50 years. Here the
meanings of sutra are bit confusing. Sage wants to say that suppose Up-
pada contains sign Aries in that case the 2nd house will contain sign
Taurus. In case the either of lords of these houses happens to occupy its
own sign Viz. Mars, lord of Up-pada, be posited in Aries or lord or 2nd
Viz. Venus happens to occupy Taurus or these lords viz. Mars or Venus
be posited in the second sign of these two planets viz. Scorpio in case of
Mars and Libra in case of Venus is capable of giving native a successful
married life. There is a third condition also in case the variable
darakarka is placed in its own sign the results are same as mentioned
above.
Note: Here again the above example meets with requisitions. Up-pada,
though in Rahu/Ketu axis but the native has a successful married life. It
is due to the presence of lord of sign falling in Up-pada is posited here
along with best benefic Jupiter.
Native is born with sign Aquarius rising in ascendant with lord of
ascendant viz. Saturn placed there in. This Saturn happens to be the lord
of 12th house and it has travelled one sign ahead thus one sign ahead of
this Saturn sign Pisces will be Up-pada. Lord of Up-pada is Jupiter and
this Jupiter in turn is placed in 11th house in its own sign thus the rule as
mentioned above applies here. Native is leading a happy married life for
more than 50 years of marriage.
If the lord of Up-pada is debilitated or aspected by debilitated
planet/planets, the spouse of native will come from lower status than that
of native.
If Up-pada or its 2nd house is occupied or aspected by benefic
planet/planets, spouse of the native will have beautiful and attractive
looks. Same rule will apply in cas lord of Up-pada or its 2nd house or
variable darakarka conjoins with benefic planet/planets.
Sign Virgo rises in ascendant. Lord of 12th house viz. the Sun is placed
in sign Scorpio which is four signs away from Leo. Fourth from Scorpio
is Aquarius. Thus Aquarius becomes Up-pada. 2nd house from Up-pada
contains sign Pisces which is occupied by its own lord Jupiter and
aspected by Venus and Moon. The Moon is variable darakaraka also it is
conjunct with Venus while aspected by Jupiter. Due to the influence of
benefic planets on the 2nd house from Up-pada and on the variable
darakarka native got a very beautiful and charming wife.
In case Up-pada and its 7th house or its 2nd house and its 7th house
(which shall be 8th house from Up-pada) are under the influence of
Saturn and Rahu or Saturn and Mars by placement or aspect the native
will be separated from his/her spouse with in a short period after
marriage. The separation can be due to divorce or sudden demise of the
partner.
Sign Gemini rises in ascendant. Lord of 12th house viz. Venus is posited
in 10th house and this Venus is 11 signs away from Taurus the sign
falling in 12th house. Now 11th house from this Venus is 8th house from
natal ascendant, thus Capricorn becomes Up-pada. The Up-pada is
occupied by Mars and its 7th house by Saturn. The native got legally
separated from his wife just after two months of marriage.
When Up-pada or its 2nd house is tenanted by or aspected by Venus and
Ketu the spouse of native is likely to suffer from urinary, kidney disease
which leads to passing out of blood along with urine.
Sign Scorpio rises in ascendant and the 12th house from ascendant is
having sign Libra in it. Lord of 12th house Venus has moved one sign
and placed in Scorpio. Now one sign ahead of this Venus is sign
Sagittarius, thus Sagittarius becomes Up-pada. The 2nd house from Up-
pada is occupied by Ketu and aspected by Venus. Native's husband
suffers from serious kidney affliction which leads to passing out of
blood along with urine.
Sign Gemini rises in ascendant while its 12th house contains sign
Taurus, whose lord Venus is posited in sign Leo i,e. four signs away
from Leo. Now the 4th sign from Leo is Scorpio, thus Scorpio becomes
Up-pada. Lord of Up-pada viz. Mars occupies its own sign Aries and
this Mars aspects Up-pada. Thus by the placement of Up-pada is under
the aspect of Jupiter and Saturn as well. This aspect causes nervous
breakdown to the wife of native and she suffers from severe depression.
If the Up-pada or its 2nd house is connected with Mercury and Ketu by
placement or aspect the spouse of native is likely to suffer from known
as "Asthistrava". This is a bone disease which leads to discharge from
bones due to some severe affliction of bones.
In case Up-pada or its 2nd house is under the combine influence of the
Sun, Saturn and Rahu, the spouse of native will suffer from bone fever
"Asthijawara"
In case Up-pada or its 2nd house happens to be any of sing ruled by
Mercury viz. Gemini or Virgo and these are further occupied or aspected
by Saturn and Mars, the spouse of native will suffer from one or other
disease related with nose.
In case Up-pada or its 2nd house are influenced by Jupiter and Saturn by
placement or aspect the spouse of native is likely to suffer from disease
related to nervous system.
In case Up-pada or its 2nd house are influenced by Jupiter and Rahu by
placement or aspect the spouse of native is likely to suffer from dental
disease.
If sign Virgo or Libra happens to become Up-pada or its 2nd house and
either of this is influenced by Saturn and Rahu by placement or aspect
the spouse of native will be lame or will suffer from arthritis/gouts.
Latitude:
These are imaginary lines, parallel to equator. The equator
represents zero degree latitude.
North pole is 900N and South Pole is 900S.
Longitude :
These are imaginary vertical lines parallel to the prime meridian,
which pass through Greenwich where the British Royal
Observatory is located. The prime meridian is at 00 longitude and
we count 1800E in East, to 1800W in West. 1800E and 1800W
coincide and represent the same vertical line just opposite to
prime meridian.
Unlike parallel of latitude, all meridians are of equal length. Any
place on earth can be uniquely assigned a longitude and latitude
and any such coordinates define a single point on earth. Delhi has
a longitude of 77013'E and latitude of 28039'N.
Since earth is spherical, every degree of longitude does not
represent equal distances.
Span of 1' of Longitude or Latitude :
Let us determine the distance represented by 1' of the longitude
or latitude; that is, how much distance changes the coordinates by
1'.
Earth's mean radius "a" = 6371 km.
Considering the earth as sphere 10 of longitude at latitude f= p.
acos.km. .........1 180
At Delhi (f = 280 39' N) 10 of longitude = 97.6 Km.
Thus 1' of longitude at Delhi
=1.626Km. 1 mileand 10 of latitude = p x a Km. .........2 180
For all longitudes
10 of latitude = 111.2 Km.or 1' of latitude= 1.853 Km. 1.16 mile
For all practical purposes, in India we can consider 1 mile, making
a difference of 1' in longitude or latitude or combined difference of
both.
From formula 1 and 2 it is obvious that the distance in North or
South makes a variation in latitude, which is constant for all
places on earth. However the longitude at least changes as much
as latitude and the variation becomes more and more prominent
as latitude increases. This is obvious because of the fact that
equator the circumference of earth is maximum, where as it
reduces as latitude increases and rate of change of circumference
also increases with the increase in latitude.
A table can be drawn for distance covered by 1' of longitude at
different latitudes.

Variation of Longitude and Latitude in a City
For latitudes like in India a city, which has span of 40 Kms. or a
distance of 25 miles, can make a difference of 25' in longitude
and latitude. This is particularly so in case of Delhi and Mumbai,
where the city stretches to over 40 kms. diagonally. In Delhi,
where the accepted coordinates 280 39' N & 770 13' E are for
New Delhi Railway Station, easily makes a difference of over 25'
in longitude and latitude from one end to the other.
For example Nangal in South-West of Delhi has coordinates 280
33'N and 770 06'E, whereas Vikas Kunj in North-East coordinates
of 280 45'N and 770 18'E, thus reflecting a difference of 12' in
longitude and 12' in latitude, with a total difference of 24'. Similarly
in Bombay Dahisar in North has coordinates 190 16'N and 720
51'E, whereas Colaba in South has coordinates 180 54'N and 720
49'E, making a difference of 22' in latitude and 2' in longitude,
again making a total difference of 24'.
However small cities are normally only half or even less than half
the size of Delhi or Bombay. Towns are only a few kms. in length
or breadth, thus making a total difference of few minutes in all. If a
centre point is chosen then the difference does not exceed more
than 1' or 2' in latitude and longitude combined. For this reason
for most of the towns and places, 1' accuracy in longitude or
latitude is just sufficient, whereas in metropolitan cities a further
breakup into small area is advisable.
To understand the total difference caused by longitude and
latitude, let us convert the maximum combined difference in Delhi
or Bombay (~25') into time. We find it is equivalent to 100s of
time. And from a centre point it is only 50s. i.e. less than a
minute! Thus when time of birth is accurate only to a minute level,
taking the center point of even the metros for longitude or latitude
is not going to add much to the inaccuracy in results.
Computation of Distance:
We have seen above that there is a direct relationship between
distance and the longitude or latitude. We can easily compute the
aerial distance between the two points on earth if we know their
coordinates accurately.
For rough computations of distance, we may simply add up the
difference of longitude and latitude and equate that to miles.
Example : Calculate the distance between Delhi and Mumbai
approximately.
Coordinates of Delhi 280 39' N 770 13'ECoordinates of Mumbai
180 58' N 720 50' EDifference 90 41' and 40 23'or 581' and
263'adding the two, distance between Delhi and Mumbai is 844'
844 milesTaking 1 mile = 1.6 Km. difference between Delhi and
Mumbai is 1350 Km. approximately.
Distance between two points on the earth's surface having
longitude and latitude L1, f1 and L2, f2 respectively can be
computed accurately by first computing the angular distance
between the following points by the following formula :
Cos d = Sin1.Sin2+Cos1.Cos2.Cos (L1-L2)
then computing the required linear distance by the following
formula S = 6371p d/180 kms.where d is expressed in degrees.
(Note: The formula does not work well for very small values of d)
Example : Calculate the distance between Delhi and Mumbai,
taking the following coordinates.
Delhi : L1 = 770 13' E 1= 280 39' N Mumbai: L2 = 720 50'
E 2 = 180 58' N
Cosd = Sin280 39'.Sin180 58'+Cos280 39'. Cos180
58'.Cos(770 13'-720 50')
on solving, Cosd = 0.983324945
or d = 10.477956950
so, s = (6371*p*10.47795695)/180
or s = 1165 kms.
Note : - The result is accurate up to a few Kms. The inaccuracy is
mainly due to flattening of the earth, which has been ignored in
the present formula.
Longitude and Time
Sun is the best time-keeper throughout the world. It Sun regularly
rises and sets every day. Local time can be measured by the
shadow cast by the sun. All the places on a meridian have midday
at the same moment. If the earth rotates from West to East,
places East of Greenwich are ahead of Greenwich time and those
in the West behind it. Since the earth rotates 3600 in 24 hours,
every 150 there is a difference of 1 hour.
Standard Time
Local time of places which are on different meridians differ. In
India there will be a time difference of about 1 hour and 45
minutes in the local time of Dwarka in Gujarat and Dibrugarh in
Assam. It will be difficult to prepare a time-table of trains which
move from one corner to another. It is therefore necessary to
adopt the local time of some central meridian of a country as the
standard time for the country. In India 820 30'E is treated as the
standard meridian. The local time at this meridian is taken as the
standard time for the whole country.
Some countries have a great longitudinal extent and so they
adopt more than one standard time. For example USA has as
many as 5 standard times. The earth has been divided into 24
time zones of one hour each. A few countries like India adopt a
time zone in between the two, like 5 hour zone.
Time Correction
In countries with high latitudes, day duration changes drastically
from say 6 hours in winters to 18 hours in summers. At poles this
difference becomes so large that there is day for six months and
night for six months.
In Northern latitude May, June are longer, whereas in Southern
latitude December January are longer and they have summer at
this time. In summer the sun rises very early. To take the
advantage of sun light, the clocks are advanced by one hour
during summer for about six months and it is set back to original
position during winter. This advanced time is called "summer
time" or "day light saving time". At some places the correction is
done for 2 hours and it is called as "double summer time".
Similarly sometimes it is only half an hour correction. Since this
adjustment is only to save light, it is subtracted before we do any
astronomical calculation.
Summary
For astrological purposes we need date, time and place of birth.
City of birth is normally sufficient as place of birth. Along with this
one should know the standard time zone and the day light saving
time correction to know exactly and correct the time of birth.
With the knowledge of coordinates we can even determine the
distance between two points. Longitudinal distance play vital role
in time gap
In the new year when Sun enters Aries (Aries Ingress), the
horoscope prepared on the basis of
it's time as ascendant is called Universal Horoscope. The
good-bad events of the world are analyzed on the basis of
this horoscope.
If in ascendant of this horoscope, there are benefic planets
or ascendant is aspected by benefics then crops of all things
are good.
The twelve houses of universal horoscope indicate 12
months of samvat as is depicted in illustrated horoscope.
The good-bad results are known by the planets situated in
various houses of horoscope. The house having benefics is
considered lucky.
The malefics indicate unlucky results. The results are
predicted on the basis of good-bad properties of planets.
The presence of malefics-Sun, Mars, Saturn and Rahu in 7th
house of universal horoscope damages the ripe crops.
If there are benefics in 2nd, 12th or quadrant houses in own
sign or friendly sign then good crops are indicated and prices
come down. Otherwise high prices or drought are likely.
Example : We wish to prepare the universal horoscope of
2059. By ephemeris it is found that Sun is entering Aries at
05.49 hrs on 14th April. The horoscope based on this time is
as shown.
In this horoscope there are malefics in 3rd and 9th houses.
Therefore unlucky events are predicted for Jyeshtha and
Margsheersh.

Major Role of the Moon in any Dasa, Bhukthi Results July 2005
G. Sumathi
Articles in this Issue | Related Articles | Views : 221 |
The Vedic Astrology strongly emphasises that Chandrama
Nakshtranamadhipathi means Moon is the significator or ruler of
the stars. Udu means the planet Moon. That is why the
Vimsotari Dasa system comprising 120 years is also called as
Udu Maha Dasa. In this method 9 planets are allotted with their
respective Number of years on the basis of a group of 3 stars
assigned to them , in which moon is posited at the time of birth.
As the mind is ruled by the planet moon Varaha mihira in his
valuable Brihat Jataka chapter VIII stanza 11 reiterates
Prarabdha himaghou dhasha swagrihe maanaarthasoukyaavaha
koujey dhooshayathi sthriyam budhagrahe vidhyasuhrdvikthadha
durgaranyapathaalayae krishikari simhe sitharkshennadha
kusthridha mrigakumbayorgurugrhe maanaarthasowkyavaha The
general meaning of the above sloka (not in the sense of verbatim)
indicates that whatever be a Dasa or bhukthi of any planet that
runs in a nativity , it is very important to note down the position of
the Moon on the date of such commencement of dasa and
bhukthi. Hereinafter the position of such moon gives clue to
interpret the entire dasa and bhukthi. This is a justified truth that
any amount of reaping the good or bad result is suppose to affect
directly the mind only, the ruler of which becomes the moon
alone. This apart Varahamihira in his very first sloka itself pray the
Sun God as Moorthithvey Parikalpathaha means Lord Shivas
Ashtamoorthis viz., The Sun, Water,Earth, Air, Fire, Sky ,
Yayajuka (sacrifice performer) and the Moon are the primary
agencies for the Creation , Protection and Destruction of the
Universe. Mihiras exemplory knowledge in having given greater
importance to the Moon is also a reason that while all the planets
are having debilitated Navamsa in their exalted sign, the planet
moon alone is not having debilitated Navamsa in her exaltation
sign Taurus.
"If the Moon with malefics occupies the 5th, 7th, 9th, 12th, 1st or 8th
house, and is not aspected by or combined with powerful Venus,
Mercury or Jupiter, death comes early."
Diseases and Signs : A weak and afflicted Moon in the 6th house causes
frequent illness and native does not enjoy good health.
According to Laghu Jataka (Ch. IV. 2) Moon is windy, phlegmatic and
controls blood Any affliction to Moon causes diseases due to these
factors. The likely diseases caused by Moon when in different signs are
as follows:
Moon in Aries : The health is average. Affliction to the Moon causes
disease of lungs, breathing problems and blood related ailments.
Moon in Taurus : Being exalted, the Moon gives good health and
endurance. When afflicted the native suffers from diseases of eyes,
throat, tonsils, speech and neck.
Moon in Gemini : The native is healthy, but the Moon's affliction causes
diseases of lungs, breathing problems and blood related ailments.
Moon in Cancer : Being in own sign, the Moon here gives good health.
If afflicted, it causes diseases of the chest, stomach and blood.
Moon in Leo : The native is healthy. If afflicted, the native suffers from
giddiness, heart and blood ailments.
Moon in Virgo: The native is healthy and has good resistance against
disease. An afflicted Moon causes stomach, digestive and skin problems.
Moon in Libra: The native is healthy and has good resistance. When
afflicted, the native suffers from kidney, blood, urinary and back
problems. He may also have head and stomach ailments.
Moon in Scorpio: The Moon is debilitated here and hence the native
falls sick frequently. Health i weak in childhood mostly. He suffers from
urinary troubles and diseases of private part.
Moon in Sagittarius: The native has a strong build, but if Moon is
afflicted he suffers from blood, liver and nerve ailments, sciatica and
lumbago pains.
Moon in Capricorn: The native has little resistance to diseases due to
which ill health torments him for long. He suffers from constipation,
urticaria and rheumatism.
Moon in Aquarius: The native has good resistance power, but if Moon is
afflicted he suffers from anaemia, giddiness and weakness. He may also
suffer from eyes and nervous complaints.
Moon in Pisces: Moon here attracts diseases and native catches infection
early. He suffers from blood related ailments, diseases of feet, soles and
corns.
Ailments in Moon Dasa : The Moon causes illness during his Dasa,
according to his location in the horoscope as follows:
If Moon as Ascendant lord is weak and afflicted in the 6th, the
native suffer from one or the other ailment.
If weak and afflicted Moon is in the 8th or 12th house with a
malefic, and there is no benefic in a Kendra then there is danger of
Balarishta (death in childhood).
Moon is the karaka for the right eye in female charts and the left
eye in male charts. When Moon is lord of the 2nd or the 12th
house and afflicted by Saturn or other melefics, the native suffers
from eye diseases which weaken the eyesight.
Moon covers the chest, and Mercury breathing. When Moon, sign
Cancer, Mercury and sign Gemini are afflicted by Rahu and
Saturn, the native suffers from asthama.
When Moon, Sun Mars are in the 6th, the native suffers from colic
pains.
When Moon and Cancer are afflicted by Saturn, Rahu and Mars
without any benefic aspect, the native gets tuberculosis.
Moon controls the flow of blood and Mercury the skin. When both
are afflicted by Saturn, Mars and Rahu, then the native suffers
from leucoderma ( white patches on skin).
When Moon is in the 5th, 8th or 12th with Rahu and afflicted by
any other malefic, then the native is psychiatric, timid, depressed
and has suicidal tendencies.
Effects of Transit : The transit of planets in different houses from natal
Moon causes illness related to the house occupied by the Moon and the
karkattwa of the transiting planet.
Name of Planet Transit from Natal Moon Causing Illne
Sun 2,5,8, and 12.
Moon 4,8 and 12
Mars 1,2,4,5,7,8, 10 and 12
Mercury 3,7,9 and 12.
Jupiter 3,6,8 and 12.
Venus 6,7 and 10
Saturn 1,2,4,7,8 and 12.
Rahu 1, 5, 7, 8,9 and 12
Ketu 1,4, 7, 8, 10 and 12.
Timing of Operation : According to classics, surgical operation of the
part of the body represented by the house through which Moon is
transiting on the date of surgery will not be successful. For example,
when Moon is transiting through Aries, then the operation of head and
eyes should be avoided. When Moon is transiting Taurus, then tonsils,
throat and mouth surgeries should be avoided. In addition, the sign
representing the part of the body being operated upon should be
occupied by or aspected by benefics and Mars and Saturn should not
aspect each other.
Taking of Medicine : Medicine taken when Moon transits Cancer and
Pisces (watery signs) produce good results. Though Scorpio is also a
watery sign it is excluded because Moon is debilitated there. Chaturthi,
Navami, Chaturdasi and Amavasya Tithis should be avoided for start of
medication. Similarly, taking medicine on Janma Nakshatra day is not
fruitful. While starting the medication the 7th, 8th and 12th houses
counted from the Moon and Ascendant should be without any planet.
During acute illness, condition improves when Moon in transit conjoins
benefic planets. When Moon conjoins with the lord of the 6th, 8th or
other malefics, then there is deterioration in one's condition and the
medicines taken may not produce the desired relief. For psychiatric
treatment, the transit of the Moon through Cancer and Pisces (watery
signs) and in Gemini, Libra and Aquarius (airy signs) is helpful.
Remedial Measures : When weak and afflicted Moon is causing disease,
the native should strengthen him by:
Wearing a good quality pearl of 6.25 to 6.5 ratti in silver on the
little finger of the right hand during Shukla Paksha on Monday
after Moonrise after due purification of the pearl.
The native should wear white clothes and donate white items
(milk, curd, rice, white flowers, white sandal, silver ring, etc.) on
Mondays to a young Brahmin lady.
The native should touch the feet of his mother (charansparsha)
daily in the morning and seek her blessings.
He should propitiate the malefics afflicting the Moon through Puja
and Mantra japa.
The following Sloka of Durga Saptasati is effective for early
recuperation. It should be- recited daily in morning after bath, lighting a
pure Ghee lamp and sitting in front of the photograph or idol of Goddess
Durga. One, three or eleven malas (108 times) of the Sloka using Tulsi
beads or Rudraksha should be done depending on the severity of the
disease. When the native is not able to do it himself, then a member of
the family can do it on his behalf after taking a Sankalpa to that effect.
The Mantra is as follows:
Diseases are the result of sins committed in past births. The remedial
measures are medicines, charity, Japa, Homa and Divine Worship.
Among other measures Mrityunjaya Mantra Homa has been regarded
panacea for all types of diseases.
Moon is in 12th house and aspected by Saturn from 6th house. Mars
aspects 2nd house (right eye) and Ketu aspects Sun. Sun though in own
house is in papkartari yoga. The native during Moon dasa had eye
problems for about 7 years. The next dasa was of Mars who is posited in
8th house and aspects 2nd house. Due to persistent eye problem and
weak eyesight, a checkup was done at AIIMS Delhi which diagnosed
weakness of optic nerve due to chronic eye ailments. The native cannot
move during bright Sun light.
