VedicAstrological Series PREDICTIUEf,STROIOGY

by M.N.KEDAR

Publishedby BharatiyaPrachya Evam Sanatan Vigyan Sansthan PREFACE

/\ strologyis a divinescience which enablesus to ll\peep into the future.The Vedic (most commonlyknown as Hindu System of Astrology) generallyunderstood the scienceconnected with Horoscopereading, , Horary, Varshaphala, Mundane,MeteorologY etc. The horoscopedepicts a pictureof the results of the Karmas done by the native in his past births (knownas SanchitKarmas), which are generally calledBhagya. Bhagyais only the accumulatedbalance of 'Karma Phrala'availablein the presentbirth, out of the SanchitKarmas. When a Karma is done there will be its result,which is mustto be enjoyed/suffered by the native. The Karmas done by a Personcan be easily groupedinto the followingthree groups :- (i) sANcHlT KARMAS (ii)PRARABDHA KARMAS (iii)KRIYAMAN OR AGAMIKARMAS The horoscopeshows SanchitaKarma i'e' the bafance of fruitsof the karmasdone in the pastbirths (likea balancesheet of the pastgood and baddeeds)' but of these SanchitaKarmas the result of some karmas,which are knownas Prarabadha,are alloted for this birth(present birth). The nativeis supposed to enjoythe fruitsof the good karmasand to suffer misieriesfor his sins.The fructificationof these dependupon the orderof the dashathe "ative gets duringthe presentbirth and on the gochara(transit position). The thirdcategory of the karmasi.e. Kriyaman and Agami Karmas is the karmasthe nativewill do in this birth.The resultsof these karmascan be enjoyedby the nativeduring the presentbirth or they may also go to the depositof SanchitaKarmas. This againdepends upon the orderof the dashaand transit positionthe nativegets during the presentbirth. We have seen many peopleworking sincerely and are quiteeligible to achievecertain results, but they don't get it. The personswho were less sincereand were also not capableof getting,do get the favourable results.The differenceis becausethe favourable givesone the successand the unfavourable perioddenies the sameto the other. The predictivepart is the most difficultand undependable one. One has to work hard to understandthe meaningsand applicationof the mysteriousprinciples of Astrology.We shouldpray God to help us in learningthis sacredscience and also in servingthe humanbeings with the help of VedicAstrology. Thepredictive astrology needs knowledge about the characteristicsand functionsof ,signs, houses, , dashas and use of all limbs of astrologyfor getting accurate predictions. Here in this book author has tried to explain every rule of astrologywith an illustrationto give the readera crystalclear picture. This simple method would help the readerto do thecorrect judgement of thg . Th[s revisededition is preparedafter merging thethree volumes which were f irst published in 1993. Threeeditions of theseexhausted during the lastfive .Not only beginners,but the seniorstudents and even most of the astrologershave appreciated the workand are alsousing this as a referencebook. In this revisededition, some Annexureshave been incorporatedand some clarificationshave been addedwhere ever it was feltnecessary, to makethe bookmore useful. lf the readersappreciate the book,they should thankto my Guruand almightyGod. My mistakesmay be excused.I will welcome' the letterssuggesting the improvements.

1.1(a) Hindu Astronomyconsiders Solar system with referenceto its constituents,the nine pianets and twenty seven stars (nakshatrasor constelrtions). Our'solarsystem (which is knownto us) is only a fragmentof the universewhich has manyother such solarsystems. Out of manyluminous bodies sighted in the skies, some are stars,yet some are planets (known as grahas). The stars (nakshairas or asterisms)have no movement.planets move through lhe nakshatras(or asterisms) in the (Bhachaki).

1.1(b) The Planetsdo not havethe same meaning in.astronomyand astrology.The Moonin astronomy reflectslight from the Sunbut in astrologyit has been given the same rank as that of the Sun. Rahu and Ketu (fhe dragon's head and dragon's tail) are just the nodalpoints in astronomy.ln astrologyihese are knownas shadowyplanets (chayya graniil Rahuand Ketu always remain exacily 1g0oapart f rom each other.Their positionsare formedwhen the Moon crossesthe eclipticfrom Northernlatitude to southern latitudeand vice versa. PredictiveAstrology

1.1(c) TheZodiac (circle of 360")has no beginning or end,it is just a circleof light.To measurethis circle an arbitrarypoint is takeninto consideration which is the first pointof 0 degreeof the first star Ashwini. The Zodiacof 360' if dividedby 27 (numberof constellationsin a Zodiac)gives 13"20' being mansions of eachnakshatra. Each nakshatra is furtherdivided into four parts called padas or charansmeasuring 3"20' each.Which means'thatthe Zodiacof 360" is dividedinto 108 partsmeasuring 3"20' each. The entireNirayana Zodiac is dividedinto three equalspan of 120' each,we willhave rashis end point knownas GANDANTAconciding with the end pointof Nakshatra.There will be there such situations - First at the endof Piscesand beginning of Aries,secondly at the endof Cancerand beginning of Leoand thirdly at the end of Scorpioand beginningof Sagittarius. (Nakshatrasinvolved are - Ashwini,Ashlesa '- Maghaand Jyestha- Moola). 'givenThe names of nakshatrasand their lords are in the table below.Each planet is given the lordshipof 3 nakshatrasout of these27 nakshatras. In additionto these 27 nakshatrasthere is Nakshatraranging lrom 276"40'to280'53'34".

1.1(e) We all knowthat the earthtakes 24 hours to rotateon its axisand 365 days 6 hoursto go round the Sun. Due to Earth'srotation on its axis,we get phenomena,sunrise'and'sunset'. The revolution the 'seasons'' of the Earthround the sun gives To make it simpleto understand,we say the Sun is moving roundthe Earth,and that sun risesin the east and sets in the west.Whatever be the Rashi,out of the twelveRashis, that risesin the eastat any particular placeandtimeofanevent(maybeabirthofanative or anyother event) is knownas'' ,'Lagna' ' 'LJdayrashi" 'Risiig Sign', or That Signbecomes the Ascendant. 1.110 The rateof motionof earth is 15oper'hour (approximately),for the purposeof decidingbirth L"gnu i.e.it covers360" in 24 hours.Each signs rises in ine east one by one and takes roughlytwo hours durationto passihrougn the easternhorizon' ln this orderthe 12 FiashistaRe 24 hours(a completeday). on the basis . In astrology,predictions are made of planetarypoditions in the horoscopeaccording to theirlordship, Karakatwas, their rank in the planetary cabinet.The remediesare suggestedtaking into consideration,the differentdeities irldicated by the planetsand nakshatras.In prashnaShastra and matchingof horoscopes,even the consonantsand PredictiveAstrology vowels are considered because tiley are also governedand ownedby sevenplanets. presenily a discussionabout them may appearto a beginnera futileand uselessexercise. All combination and yogas ,areformed on the basisof interrelationshipbetween differentplanets, their positionsin differentRashis, in differentNakshatras and their mutual distance and positions.Similarly the motionof the planetscalled -'GocnRRn'helps in timingof events.Let us discuss themone by one.

1.1(g) MoTloN oFTHE PLANETS We havediscussed that the nakshatrasare fixed in Zodiacand have no movement.The planetsmove throughthese nakshatras.The planetshave their speedof motion. Planet Motion per day (approx.) Sun 1 degree Moon 13 to 15 degrees Mars 30 to 45 minutes Mercury 65 to 100Minutes Venus 62 to 82 minutes Jupiter 5 to 15 minutes Saturn 2 minutes Node 3 minutes Withsuch different motions, a planetestablishes a relation(through longitudinal distances) with other planets.This relationship of the planetsprt eachother havegreat deal of utilityin Astrology.-t{t Planetarymovements can be fully understood f rom astronomicalliterature (refer to Book on "AstronomyReIevant to Astrology"byV.P.Jain published Predictive Astrology by Sansthan)and (Narad ,Garga Samhita, VashishthaSamhita etc.)

1.1(h) NATUBALBENEFIC AND MALEFIC' PLAN ETS The sevenplanets own 12 signs,as shownin table in para1.1(d) ibid. Rahu and Ketuhave no placeof theirown. But they give effect of the signthey occupy or the planetsthey are associated with. The detailed discussionwill be takenup lateron. Amongthese planetsthe Sun, Saturn,Mars, decreasing Moon, Rahu and Ketu, afflictedMercury are malefics. Jupiter,Venus, increasing Moon, well associated Mercuryare benefics. Note: (1) DecreasingMoon and increasingMoon due to the Motionof Moonwith respectto the positionof the Sun.When Moon is aheadof Suntill it reaches180 degree apart, the Moon 'Poornima is increasing(called Ka Chand' Shukla Paksha Moon or Waxing Moon). Beyond180" to 0' (whenit joinsSun) is the motionof Moonapproaching Sun is called decreasingMoon (called Paksha Moon or (ffut qq) 'AmavasyaKa Chand'or waning Moon),0" to 120' medium,120" to 240" auspicious(strong) and f rom240" to 0" she (the Moon)is bereftof strength. (2) According to Sage Parashar Mercury becomesmalefic if he joins a malefic.lf . WaningMoon and Mercu ry aretogether, both are malefic. (3) Accordingto Sages Mantreshwara,Kalyan Varma,Mahrishi Vashistha and Parashara Predictive Astrology

the Sun is not malefic(paap graha) but a Kruragraha (cruel, unkind, rigid). Being the soul of universeand Karakafor father can neverbe same likeother malefics. He may be strict. The westernastrologer Sepharical has treatedthe Sun as a benefic planet.The other western astrologers have treated the Sun as responsiblefor causing separation.

1.3 PLANETS:THEIR EXALTATION ETC. We havealready read about the planetstheir lordship of the signs(Rashis) in para 1.1(d)and theirsome charactersticsetc. in Para1.2. Due to the motionof the planetsin the Zodiac,they pass throughcertain degrees of constellationsand Rashis(signs), they acquire or loosestrength or power. In this chapterwe will discussthe positionof the planetswhere they are treatedstrong, strongest, medir.imor otherwise.lt is essentialto know about Predictive Astrology the strengthof the planet,otherwise we will not be ableto predictwhether in certainsituation a planet wouldgive good, evil or nileffect. The followingchart will give us the positionof the planetsacquiring certain positions by virtueof theirLongitudes.

1.3(a) EXALTATIONAND DEBILITATION Planetis exaltedor debilitatedwhen positedin a particularsign in the particulardegree. (Point of deep exaltationand debilitation.)

S.No. Planet Deep Exaltation Deep Debilitation

Sun Aries 10" Libra 10" Moon Taurus 3" Scorpio 3" Mars Capricorn28" Cancer 28" Mercury Virgo 15" Pisces 15' Jupiter Cancer 50 Capricorn 5" Venus Pisces 27" Virgo 27" Saturn Libra 20" Aries 20" Rahu Taurus 20" Scorpio 20" Ketu Scorpio 20" Taurus 20" Hereis the controversy,some astrologerstake Rahuexalted in Gemini,Ketu exalted in Sagittarius. DebilitatedRahu in Sagittariusand Ketuin Gemini. To explainthe above,the entire sign Leo is ownedby the Sun (the Sun from 0" to 20" of Leo is treatedas in Mooltrikona)and if the Sun is in Leo, we say the Sun is strongbecause he is in his own sign.lf the Sun is in Aries,we saythat the Sun is in the signof gxaltationand therefore strong or thatthe Sun is exahed.But if the Sun is in Libra.the Sun is Predictive Astrology 45 in his sign of debilitationand thereforeweak or the Sun is debilitated. Exaltedplanets give good result and debilitated planetsgive reverseresult. The debilitatedplanet becomesweak, hence is notin a positionto giveresults properly.The maleficwill not cause inauspicious resultand the beneficwill not give auspicious results. The 3rd degreeof Taurusis the Moon'shighest degreeof exaltationand the 3rd degreeof Scorpiois herdeepest debilitation point. The debilitation points are found by adding180o to exaltation.While in a state of fall, planetsgive resultscontrary to those when in exaltation.7th sign from exaltationsign becomessign of debilitation.

For Example: Sun exalted,lord of 2nd house(speech) with Mercury lord of third and twelfth(lntellect and Logic)and Venus(Poetic) lord of fouthand eleventh,posited in 10th house.He was masterof strictestlogic, yet so sweet-tongued,that he was able to convince thousandsand thousandsof his opponents. Sri GautamaBuddha, Prophet Mohammed, Sri Ramanujacharya,Swami Vidyaranya all had exalted Sun. The Sun representsAtman, A Sattwikaguna, Philosophical,and philanthropicdispositions. Aurangzebhas debilitatedSun. He hadexalted Moon (Manasor Mind)which indicated vast ability and patience.The dispositionof the Sun madehim habituallyauspicious and the mistakes of hispolitical conductwere sufficiently evident. For the guidanceof studentswe have shown the distinctionbetween the behaviourof an exalted planetand a debilitatedplanet. But it shouldbe well 'understoodunless the completeanalysis of the horoscope,together with other Astrological principles (whichwill be discussedlater on) is doneno f ruitful resultsor final conclusion can be arrivedat. Therzpointof discussionabout the planets Predictive Astrology 47 positedin own sign,exalted sign, mooltrikona sign, f riendlysign, debilitation and enemy's sign is to make the students understandthe effects of relative strengthof the planets.A beggaris no chooser,he dependsupon the helpof others.There is a saying "Wherethere is a will there is a way"or "A man is makerof his own fortune"but unlesshe is strong enoughand also permitted by thecircumstances, he will not achievebetter results.

1.4 UCCHABHILASHI Any planetwhich is in a signpreceding its exaltation sign or pointis calleduchchabhilashi, and tendsto. givefavourable results. 1.a(a) A planet when moving after crossing its debilitationpoint and movestowards the point of exaltation(which is a pointjust at a distanceof 180 degreesf romthe deeppoint of debilitation)is called Aarohi (3Tr*fr). 1.4(b) When a planetcrosses the highestdegree of exaltationand movestowards the deep point of debilitation(which is also at a distanceof 180degrees f romthe pointof exaltation)is calledAvrohi (3To-*fr). 1.a(c) ln the first case the planetis said to be gainingstrength and in the othercase the planetis losingstrength every minutetill it losses all the strengthat the pointof deepdebilitation.

1.5 MOON We know that the Moon is very powerfulwhen it is full Moon.When she crossesthis pointof full Moon and starts reducingstrength day by day (called waning Moon) till it reaches the point of final combustionwith Sun (whenthe differencebetween Predictive Astrology the Sunand the Moon'slongitudes is zeroit is called Amavasyaday). This fortnightis calleddark half (KrishnaPaksha). The othertransit of Moonf romthe Sunto just opposite position (7th house from the Sun) at a distanceof 180degrees is calledwaxing Moon. Moonis gettingstrength day by day till it reachesat a differenceof 180of romsun and is calledf ullMoon. This fortnightis calledbright half (ShuklaPaksha). The momentshe crossesthe Sun's longitudeand movesfurther she is called'NewMoon'.

2.1 We havelearnt the 12 partsof the Zodiaccalled Rashisor Signsand theirnames in para1.1(d). We are also acquantedwith the planetsowning these Rashisand also understood the characteristicsof the planets. In this lesson we will discuss about the characteristicsof the signs(Rashis). Unless we are awareof the effectsof the signsand theirnature, we will not be able to understandthe effectsof the combinationof the planetsin thesesigns. So we have to seriouslyunderstand the characteristicsof the twelvesigns. (A) The twelvesigns are grouped,according to thei.r characteristics,as under:

3.1(a) KARAKA It literallymeans that whichdoes or a factoror a suffix denotingthe factorresponsible for a result.One who does the work of otherson their behalfas a duty assignedto him or givessimilar results as expected from other planet, is called Karaka for that planet. Karakatwais the duty assignedto him (Karaka).ln the astrologicalterms a planetdoing the work of a house is called Karakaof that house(Bhava). Here a questionarses as to what is a house.

The fourth house and the lord of the fourth house(means the lordof the signwhich is fourthf rom the sign of Ascendantor Lagna),will tell us about the motherand vehicleboth. lf while analysingthe chartwe find that: (a) Thereis a time of changewhich is shownf rom the study of 4th housei.e. an old one is to be replacedbY a new one or Predictive Astrology

(b) lt is a bad periodfor the resultsof the fourth bhavai.e. some trouble is indicatedto takeplace. Shouldwe predictchange of vehicleor house or mother.lt is a badperiod for mother,vehicle or for what?So to arriveat a particularpoint (question or event)the Rishishave given us manymethods, such as the differentvargas etc. The Karakasare alsovery helpful to analysesuch matters and helpus to reach to an accurateprediction. The Moon(as Karaka) tells us aboutthe mother. Any afflictionto the Moontogether with afflictionto 4th houseand 4th lordwill show a badperiod for mothel. In a similarway if an astrologerfinds affliction to the 4th houseand 4th lordand insteadof the Moon, to Venus(Karaka for vehicle)a predictioncan be givenabout vehicle. Thus it would now be clear that the matter (events)governed by any house or its lord should alsobe judgedf romthe Karakaplanet for that bhava to arriveat a preciseconclusion. The useand importanceof the knowledgeabout the functioningof planets,and their Karakatwas and theirrelations with different bhavas in the horoscope is very relevant.Unless these three factorsare well considered, any conclusion witt be wrong or unscientific. 3.1(b) Firstlywe will read aboutthe Karakatwas or dutiesassigned to the planets:.

4.3 Whenthe planetsoccupy their signs of exaltation, mooltrikona,own house etc., they give results according to theirmood or natureso acquired. Thismood or nature has been given Deepta, Swastha,Mudita, , Sakta,Prapeedit, Deena, Vikala, Khala etc.by the Parashara,Mantreshwara and other learned scholars, as shownin the tableon the page no.46 & 47. Accordingto BRTHATPRASARA HORA the resultsare as under: Planetin Deeptaavastha bestows kingdom, authority, courage,wealth, vehicles, marriage, progeny and honourf rom kingetc. during the dashaperiod. Planetin Swastha avastharesults in soundhealth, gain from king or governemnt,education, fame, affectionand love, marriage,prosperity, land and religiousfeelings etc. during own dashaperiod.

Vikal Avasthaof a planetduring own dasha period willgive uneasiness, restlessness, worries (physical and mental),death of friends,wife, children, dearth of clothes,vehicles, trouble from thieves. The planet in Khala avastha causes quarrel, seperationf rom father, trouble f romenemies, loss of wealthand landand the nativecriticises his own men. Kopa avastha of the planetresults in many kinCsof troubles,loss of education,wealth, wife, children, troublesfrom son,eye trouble etc,

(2) Retrogradeplanet has beenput in SAKTA AVASTHAby same learnedastrologers. CONCLUSION Generalviews of allthe Sagesare that: . (i) The Planetsin DeeptaAvastha give the Predictive Astrology

most beneficresults and give a happy, gentle, kind and lovable nature, comfortableposition with full respects, wealthetc. to the nativeduring the dasha of that planet. (ii) The strengthof the planetdecreases f rom Deepta to Sukhita, Swastha, Mudita, Shanta,Sakta and so the powerof giving goodeffects also reduces and becomes nil whenthe planetsis Prapeedita(Combust) whereit becomeshundred percent malefic. The effectsof each avasthaas availablein Mansagriaregiven in the tableon page52-53. Even afterthe studyof the analysisgiven by the learned astrologersthe studentsare supposed to frame their own methodsbased on theseprinciples to interpret the positionof the planetand its effectslikely to happenduring his dashaperiod.

6.1(a) Most of the horoscopeswhen relied upon without proper checking results into failure of predictions.lt thereforebecomes necessary to verify the accuracyof the mathematicalcalculations of the horoscope.Another problem is that the parentsdo not note the exacttime of birth eitherdue to non availabilityof watchesor for other reasons.The doctors in hospitals too are not aware of the importanceof birthtime for astrologicalpurposes. There is a controversyabout the time of birth whetherthe correcttime for birthis (i) Firstsight of the part of body (ii) Fallout of the body on floor (or table)or (iii) first cry of the child.The nursesor doctorsattending to the deliveryare firstconcerned aboutthe safe deliveryof the child and sometimeit resultsinto notingdown the incorrecttime of birth. While the importanceof the correctinstant is so much,we cannotlay any hard and fast rules which will enable us to find out this exact instant.lt is acceptedby learnedastrologers that the exacttime of birth is the time whenthe umbilicalcord is cut. /t Predictive Astrology 91 is the time when the child becomes an independant body.The childwas getting, untilthen, everything with the help of mother'sbody. Now an independant functionof the bodyof the childstarts, and the child takes his first breath.The time of first cry can also be taken.In manycases the childdoes not cry for manyhours. lt can againpose a problem.

6.1(b) Sage Varahamihirahad stated that the planetaryposition in the birthhoroscope and those at the time of conceptionare foundto have intimate connection. While describingthe various combinations governingthe processfrom conception (garbhadhan) to deliveryof the child,the importanceof the Moon as a sourceof impregnationetc. has been proved. Thereforeit is possibleto rectifythe time of birthby adjustingthe Moon and Ascendantat birth and at conception. Sage Varahmihira observes in Brihat Jataka as under : Findthe particulardwadashamsha of a sign which the Moon occupies at the time of conception (garbhadhan).Note the numberof dwadashamsha or the rashiin whichthis dwadshamshafalls. Count from this rashi as many rashisas the numberof dwadashamsharepresented by dwadashamshain question(the dwadashamshaof Moonat the time of conception).The transit of Moonin the rashiso found in the monthof delivery,the birthof a childmay be expected.

Example : Supposethe Moonis 6'10"25'atthe time ol conception. Here Moon is posited in Tula. The number of 92 Predictive Astrology dwadashamshais fifth, whichfalls in Kumbha.The numberof dwadashamshais five,so countfifth Rashi fromKumbha i.e. Mithuna. So the birth of thechild can be whenMoon transits Mithuna (fifth Rashi from Kumbha).

6.1(c) ACCORDINGTO DR.B.V. RAMAN : 'This branchof Astrology(birth verificationand rectification)does not come withinthe scopeof a beginneror an amateur.And birth times can be rectified only by menof experienceby a consideration of pronouncedlife events". 6.1(d) In caseof lndiraGandhi and RajivGandhi, there was a controversy among the learned astrologersabout the lagnasof the two charts.In case of lndiraGandhi the horoscopewas discussed in astrologicalarticles taking her lagnaas karkaor Simha. Since 1982, the predictions"bad for her health"were given, taking her lagna as Karakalagna and also on the basisof Simhalagna. She died in October1984, but the astrologerscould not reconcile on her correctlagna. The same was the caseof Rajiv Gandhi'shoroscope. We will simplysay that to fix the correctbirth time, is a very difficulttask before an astrologer.An experiencedastrologer, after properlyapplying the astrologicalprinciples can do this rectificationon the basisof the past eventsin the lifeof the native. 6.2 For theoreticalpurposes, for the studentof Jyotish,we discusssome of the rules which are generallyaccepted by learnedastorlogers: Note:One of our student'slagna has beenf ixed (in 1990)as Sagittariusby someastrologers but, others havefixed Capricorn as his lagna.The predictions have been given by both the groups.The high Predictive Astrology percentageof predictionsfrom Sagittarius have come true.Still the nativehimself being a learnedastrologer couldnot decideabout his correctlagna (till 1999). To find the Nakshatraof birth Multiplythe time intervalbetween Sunrise and time of birth (converteOintJ,Gnatis) by four and divide the productby nine. The remaindermust give the ruling constellationwhen counted from Ketu's nakshatras(Ashwini, Magha or Moola). Example I : (A) Bio-data(Tools for calculation) Dateof Birth = 19-9-1931 Sunrise Sunset 6hrs12mts 18hrs19mts Timeof Birth = 3-30a.m. (lST) Placeof Birth= Delhi Sun'slongitude = 52o7' Janmanakshatra (as per horoscope)= MoolaI pada (B) No.of hourspassed f romsunrise to BirthTime = 21Hrs18mts (C) Time differenceat (B) convertedinto Vighatis = 53 Ghatis15 Vighatis or 3195Vighatis (D) Nowcalculate Janma Nakshatra = 3195x4+9 = 142O0/9 (fullydivisible) Remainderis O This shows some minor correctionis r.equired hereas the remaindershould have been one (Moola Nakshatra). Predictive Astrology

lf we makecorrection of (-) 2 Vighatisand take Vighatisas 3193the positionis as under: 3193x 4 +9 = 12772+9 = 1419 119 Remainderis One i.e.nakshatra is Moola.The correcttime should be fiftythree Ghatis and thirteen Vighatisafter sunrise. Example ll : (A) Bio-Data(Tools for calaculation) Dateof Birth = 10-6-1933 Sunrise Sunsef Shrs27mts 19hrs13mts Timeof Birth= 9-11am (lST) Placeof Birth= Delhi Sun'sLongitude = 1.25o53' JanmaNakshatra = PurvaPhalguni lV (as per horoscope) (B) Numberof hourspassed from Sunrise to birthtime = 3hrs44mts (C) Time differenceconverted into Vighatis = 9 Ghatis20 Vighatis or 560Vighatis (D) Now calculateNakshatra = 560x4+9=248 8/9 Accordingto this calculationthere is a wrong result.Hencethe timeof birthneeds some rectification as we havedone in the earlierExample No.1. Then correctremainder should be two insteadof eight(as countedf rom Magha,Phalguni is Numbertwo) lf we make correctionof (+) 3 Vighatisto 560 and get 563 Vighatisas correctedtime the position Predictive Astrology 95 is as under: 563x 4+9 =2252+ 9 = 250 2/9 we get remainder= 2 Nakshatrascounted from Maghais PurvaPhalguni. Ther:eforethe correctedTime = 9 Ghatis23 Vighatis Herewe haveseen that a minoradjustment in time of birthwas required.In the firstcase the time was reducedby two Vighatisor fortyeight seconds to birthtime. In examplell thetime is to be increased.

6.3 TO FIND LAGNA AT BIRTH This methodwill be appliedafter taking into accountthe correctedtime of thesevery cases.Let us see the results.In this methodwe will check Ascendant(Lagna) As we knowthe Lagna is the sign ol Todiacrising in the Easternhorizon at timeof birth. At timeof sunrisethe sign where Sun is positedrises in the East.The portiontraversed by the Sun in that signtill the previousday will be the lastto risein the East.The exact point (longitudeof the Sun in that signon a date)of thatsign at whichSun is positedat (timeof Sunrise)the time it risesin the East.After that Rashione after the other rahsis at intervalof about two hours,rises turn by turntill the nextsunrise. The part of the sign upto the elapseddegrees of the Sun,rises just before sunrise and the signjust oppositeto the Sun sign (seventhsign) rises at sunset.The sign fourth from Sun's sign rises at midday,the tenthf romSun's sign rises at the horizon at midnightand so on. lt is clearthat the Ascendant of a Birthchart is totallylinked to the positionof the Sun.The followingexamples may be studiedand the formulaemay be triedon the horoscopein yourrecords (havingcorrect Planetary positions and time of birth). Predictive Astrology

Example l; (Refer to the bio - data given in the example6.1) (A) (i) Sun'slongitude = 5"2"7'or = 5"2.12" (ii) Numberof Ghatispassed from sunrise = 53 Ghatis13 Vighatis or 53.22Ghatis (ascorrected in the example) (B) Multiplynumber of Ghatisat (A)by 6...... (ii) = 53.22x6 =319.32 (C) Add Sun'slongitude (devoid of sign)to (B) = 319.32+2.12" =321.44 (D) Dividethe product(arrived at C)by 30 (because eachRashi is of 30") = .321.44+ 30 = 1oc+21 .44 lgo (E) Add 1 to the quotient= 10 + 1 = 11 (F) Countedf rom Sun'ssign (Kanya) the Lagnais = 11 + 5'= 16 - 12 = 4 -+ KarkaRasi (11th from Kanya)which is correctas Lagnaof the nativeis Karka 26"45' Example Il :

(A) Sun'sposition = 1.25"53'or 1"25.9o Numberof Ghatispasseci from sunrise = 9 Ghatis23 Vighatisor9.38 (B) Multiplynumber of Ghatisat (A) by 6 =9.38x6 =56.3 (C) Add Sun'slongitude (devoid of sign)to (B) = 56.3+ 25.9 = 82.2 (D) Dividethe productby 30 = 82.2+ 30 Predictive Astrology

= 2 22130 (E) Add 1 to the quotient = 2 +1 = 3 (F) Countf romthe Sun'ssign i.e. Vrish the Lagnais Karka(Cancer) Thirdfrom Taurusis Karka(Cancer). By applyingthis methodwe have calculated Karka Lagnafor this nativewhich is correctas per horoscopewith us.

6.4 BIRTHTIME RECTIFICATION The abovediscussions were to correctthe birth time.This wholeexercise is a mustfor an astrologdr beforehe makes any forecastabout the native.To correct Lagna there are many other methods. Accordingto MaharishiParashara no Lagnais to be takenas correctuntil Lagna is testedby'Pranpada' method,'gulika'or'Mandi'etc. Let us discussa few such generalmethods : Theprinciplesare:. L,wr 4.

6.5 (i) lf a personis bornwithin the first half of the day,calculate seventh from the Nakshatra associatedwith Sun. Lagna will fall in the sign indicatedby that Nakshatra. (ii) lf a personis bornin the secondhalf of the day, calculatethe twelfth Nakshatrafrom Ravi'sNakshatra. The signindicated by the nakshatrawill be his Lagna. (iii) lf a nativeis born duringfirst half of the night, sign indicated by seventeenth Nakshatraf rom sun's Nakshatra will be the Lagna. (iv) lf the nativetakes birth during second half of night,the Lagnawill fall in twentyfourth Nakshatrafrom the Nakshatraof Sun. Predictive Astrology 99

Other Opinions (v) lf a personis born aftermidday before the Sunset,from Sun'sconstellation the 12th Nakshatraindicates Lagna. (vi) lf a native is born within midnight the / ninteenthNakshatra, and if after midnight the twenty fourth Nakshatrafrom the , Nakshatraof Sun willindicate the Lagna. Tesf.' In second case the principles are not applicable- Sun is in MrigshiraI (25"53').(rule l). In first case it applies(rule iv). Sun is 2o7' (secondpada) in Nakshatrano. 12 (U.Phalguni).

6.6 ANOTHERMETHOD (Use of Rahu,Sun and Lagna) Add the numberof Rashiwhere Rahu is posited, numberof lagnasign and number of Sun(which is to be reckonedas onealways) add 3 to the productand divideby 7. lf remainderis evennumber chartof female lf rernainderis odd number chartof male Casel: Rahuis in signnumber = 12 Numberof lagna = 4 Numberof Sun = 1 17 Add 3 17 +3=20 Divideby 7 20+7=2 617(Rem. 6) Remainderis even= A Femalechart. 100 Predictive Astrology

6.7 Herethe stressis on the characte?isticsof the sign in which Lagnafalls. The constructionof the physicalbody will be dependingupon the sign of lagnaor Moon.

(d) lf Marseffect is'on lagna or Moon- Native'sbody willbe strong,well built etc. (e) lf Venusaspects - curly hair,beautiful eyes, lustreor graceetc. (f) lf Saturnaspects lagna or Moon (PAC)will not be fat and will havemore hair. (g) Sun in lagna will give strong body,bald head, royalgait.

(h) Moon'seffect will give soft body,beautiful face and curly hairsand largebeautiful eyes. (i) Mercury'seffect will give mediumheight soft bodyand greenishskin. The Gulik or Mandiahd Pranpadaetc. can also be used to rectifythe birth time. The same will be discussedin laterbooks.

6.8 CONCLUSION The methods discussedabove are some of the methodsused for fixingthe lagnaand also correct nakshatras.This helps us in rectification of birthtime. The most dependablemethod is of casting at least Saptavargas, calculation of mahadasha, antardashaand pratyantardasha and also calculate transit for the important events of tiie of the native. Every event is to be tallied with these three maior factors (i) Promise in the chart (ii) lts fructification according to dasha etc. (iii) Timing of the event with the help of transit. All these can be done only when at least sufficient knowledge of Astrological :principlesand their applicationsare well understood. The student must learn the subiect from some experienced, learned astrologers and also gain experiencein the company of his guide or Guru only then the rectificationof birth time becomespossible Dr. Raman has given us a large number of books to study the subiect.The future generation will be indebtedto him for his serviceto the divine science.TheIndain Council of AstrologicalSciences (Regd.)Madras through its chaptersall over India, speciallyDelhi Chapter l, underthe guidanceof the great astrologerof this century Dr. B.V. Raman is propagatingastrology. Since 1987 Delhi Chapter (the first institutionwhich startedastrology classes in 102 Predictive Astrology

India) is conductingastrology classes for the elite peopleof this country,with a scientific approach,to provethe utilityof this divinescience.We always stressthe needfor verificationof the birthchart with the past eventsof the life of the nati',"-.Unless the past eventsare verified,no futureprediction should be given and if there is any need the necessary correctionin time of birthetc. is to be made: "Our approachshould be from knownto unknown." This subject can be well explainedto the researchstudents with ten or twenty examplesbut here we have to learn and understandthe above principlesthoroughly.

(c) The associationof Mercurywith Marswho is seventhlord (associationof lordsof ninthand seventh) (d) The association of Venus and Mars (associationof lordsof f irst and seventh). 7.2 Theabove associations show that there is some connection between the lords of Kendras and Trikonas.Kendrasare Vishnusthanas and Trikonas are Lakshmi sthanas. This means that the combinationof these two assuresthe grace() of bothVishnu and Laksmi(). One is very luckyif he hastheir combined grace (kripa). It appearsthat the horoscopeis very strong. 7.3 Herewe are to learnonly the readingof birth charton the basisof the knowledgewe haveacquired from the discussionin the previouschapters. By doingthis exercisewe may be ableto know the futureawaiting the nativeor the accumulated karma phala of his past births known as Sanchit Karmas.Some of the SanchitKarmas are to be enjoyedor sufferedin the presentbirth knownas "Prarabdha".What are PrarabdhaKarmas and when their resultswill manifestin the presentbirth? The great Rishishave devised many methods or toolsto find outthe answerto thisquestion. One such great system is the systemof Dasha( CelestialPeriod). These Dashas (Periods)are further dividedinto Antardashas(Sub-periods). 7.4 MaharishiParashara has given the following Dashas( CelestialPeriods) of Planets: Vimshottari,Ashtottari, Shodasottari, Panchottari, Satabdika,Chaturshiti-sama, Kalachakra, Chara, Predictive Astrology 107

Multiplythe dashaperiod (of the planetwho is lordof that Nakshatrain whichthe Moonwas posited at the time of birth)by the periodof stayof the Moon in thatJanma Nakshatra that hasexpired and divide it by the total periodof the stay of the Moon in that Nakshatra.The f igurein years,, days etc.so arrivedat will showthe expiredperiod (Bhukta dasha) of the dasha. ' Thisf igure when deducted from the total period of the dasha (allottedto that planetwho is Janma Nakshatralord) will give the balance of dasha (bhogyadasha) to be enjoyedby the native at the timeof birth.

7.7 CLASSICALMETHOD OF CALCULATION Exampte: Suppose the Moon is in Mrigasira Nakshatraat the time of birthwhose lord is Mars. The expiredperiod of Mrigasirais fiftysix ghatisand fifty five palas (or 3415 palas).The total periodof Mrigasira (tirne taken by Moon to traverse the Mrigasiranakshatra) is fiftynine ghatis thirty one pala (or 3571palas). . 3415x7 +3571 (Totalof expired period(x) No. of years allottedto Mars (+) the total periodtaken by Moonto traverseMrigasira Nakshatra) = 23905+ 3571 = 6 years - 8 months- gdays- 54ghati' 47 pal is Bhukta dasha.

Therefore3 months- 20 days- 5 ghatisand 13 palasare the balanceof Marsperiod available at the timeof birth. This methodis basedon panchangasand is known as traditional(or classical)method. 7.8 MODERNM ETHOD Todaythe Researchersin Astrologyhave devised many simplermethod to calculatethe balanceof dashaat birth.For this we haveto knowthe longitude of the Moonand the JanmaRashi. In the earlierchapters we haveread that there aretwenty seven nakshatras(covering 360 degrees), each nakshatrameasures thirteen degrees twenty minutesand has four padaseach measuringthree degreestwenty rninutes. Such nine padas (measuring 3 degrees20 rninutes)of 2% Nakshtrascomprise a Rashi (sign) of thirty degrees.The start of both Nakshatraand Rashi chakrais from zero degrees Aries(the first point of Zodiac).

The modernmethod can be betterunderstood with the followingpractical illustration. Example:

Calculatethe Moon'slongitude for the givendate and time.Let us see the horoscopeof MahatmaGandhi in Para7.1. Moon'sLongitude is 120"-10'or4.0o.1 0' or Simha0o-10, Refer to chart ll. AstrologY 116 Predictive see belowthe columnof simharashi against d$grees 0' 00- - The balanceof Ketu= 7 years- Omonth 0 day' Refer to chart lll. Againstten minutesbleow the columnof Ketu we find one monthone day.Deduct this f rom seven years,we get = 6 years 10 months 29 daYs' This is the balanceof Ketu dasha runningat the timeof birth.

7.9 EFFECTSOF DASHAS RishiParashara says : qrrg"i frRre-q-qqici EEti qaq I q-6["ri q g qriq qsTF{Rerfu4t|-{q | | There are two kindsof effectsof dashas: (1)General_Thenaturalcharacteristicsofp|anets causesgeneral effects' (2) Distinctive- Planetsgive the effectof the lord of Rashi in whichthey are posited'the planet with whom positedor by whom aspected' Herethe formula given below will help us to remember this: P = Posited A = Aspected Q = Conjuncted So rememberPAC for distinctiveeffects' Forthe presentwe maysay that dashasare very importantto be usedfor predictivepurposes' Let us further explain the use of dashaf romthe followingillustration: Mr.A has a pronotefor Rs' 10'000/-and also fix he has to pay Rs.b,OOO to some body'He is in a Predictive Astrology 117 as to what to do, unlesshe knowsthat the date of maturityof the Pronoteis beforedue date of payment of debt.lf this is the positionhe is safe.He will get the money,before the duedate of the payment.Who can help him for this , nobody except the maturity date on the pronote. The dashaplays the role of tellingthe maturity date.So we calculatethe correctdegrees of the Moon to find out the balanceof VimshottariMahadasha runningat the timeof birth.

7.10 CALCULATIONOF ANTARDASHA(Sub periods of the Mahadasha) Thereare morethan one method of calculations,one of themis as under: (i) Mutiplythe numberof yearsof dasha of the planet whose Mahadasha(major period) is runningby the numberof yearsof the dashaof the planetwhose anatrdashais to be known. Dividethe productby ten, the quotientwill be and remaindermultiplied by three will indicatedays. Example: JupiterMahadasha (16 years) The first antardashawill be of Jupiter,second of Saturn,third of Mercuryand so on (the order of dasha,sub and sub-subperiods is the same). Jupiter= 16 x 16= 256+ 10 = 25 months-18 days or 2 years 1 month18 daYs Saturn= 16 x 19 = 304+ 10 = 30 months-12days or 2 years6 months12 daYsand so on. (ii) Anothersimple calculation is as under: Jupiter(M.D.) / JuPiter(A.D.) 118 Predictive Astrology

By multiplyingthe number of years of the MahadashaNath and the AntardashaNath we get : (i) 16 x 16 = 256 (ii) Dividethe figure at (i) by 10 vyeget 25.6 (iii) 25 is Monthsand 6 if multipliedby 3 wiltgive days i.e.3x6=15days The anatardashaperiod of Jupiterduring Jupiter mahadashawill be = 2 years 1 month18 days In thisway the A.D.of anyplanet can be calculated.

7.11 PRATYANTAARDASHA (SUB-SUB PER|ODS) To find out Pratyantardasha, we will do in similar manner: Jupiter'santardasha in Jupiter'smahadasha = 2 yrs 1 mth 18 days Jupiter'spratyantar = 16 + 120 x 2-1-18 or 25 months18 days (or 768 days) = 768+120x16 = 6.4 x 16 = 102.4days = 3 months12 days9.0 hours Saturn = 6.4x19=121.6 = 4 months1 day 14.4hours and so on. Anothersimple methodis given under: Jupiter's pratyantar dasha in Jupiter's antardashain Jupiter'smahadasha- 16x16x16= 512days = 3 months12 days t hours36 min. 405 Predictive Astrology 119

Saturn's pratyantar dasha in Jupiter,s antardashain Jupiter'smahadasha_ 16x16x19=608days =4months 1 dayl4hours 24min. 405

Note:The year is takento be of 360 days. The studentscan practiseany method which they think most easy and accurate.These methods can be usedin similarways for further reducing the dasha which wiil give the period in days and h"ours and so on.Wecan f ind out in hoursand minutes also. This means it can be known that at a particular. mo-ment the periodthat is runningis favourableor unfavourabre.what wiil be the resultof the particurar actiondone at thattime. 7.12 The mahadashagives us a pero\das allottedto the planet.The antardashabrings Oo\,vn tnis perioO a to minimumof B lz monthsanO to ai maximumof three years four months,and the pratyantardasha furthershortens the periodto 5 days g.i6hours (Sun/ Sun/ Sun) to maximum6 monthi 20 cflays(Venus/ V91ys/ Venus).This process helps us to tilmeilie event withinmaximum period of six months.This can further be reducedto shook:hT" dasha(sub_sub_.rU p"rioOy andso on,the formulafor calculation is the sanre. . .

SECTIONII ASPECTS(DRISHTI)

9.1 We have learntabout the characteristicsof signs (Rashis)and planets(graha)' The positions(Awasthas) of planetsby virtueof theirmotion in the Zodiac( or say in signs of exaltation,debilitation, friends house, own houi, enemy'shouse etc. or retrograde,Acceleration lf'the etc.) show that the planetis strongor weak' planetis in - (i) Pradeepta,Sukhita, Swastha, Mudita and Shantathe resultswill be very good' (ii) Vikala, Nipidita (tortured say defeated in Planetarywar) Khala,Kshudhit, Atibheeta etc' will giveverY bad results.

9.2 The above effectsof the planetsare modified becauseof PACconnections if they are associatec withotherp|anets.Theassociationorconnectionor relationbetween the planetscan be : (A) Due to their Positions(P and C) (1) in the samehouse or conjunction (2) in each other'snakshatras , (g) havingexchanged houses 136 Predictive Astrology

(B) Dueto theiraspect (Drishti) on eachother-(A) (1) A planetaspecting other planet (2) A planetaspecting other planet and in turn aspectedby otherplanet (Mutual Aspects). The'A'above is understoodbecause we have learnt that the planets own some houses and 'B' nakshatras. is yet to be discussed.Now we will discuss about the "Aspects".The aspect of the benefic planet increases the good effects of the planet/house aspected by it. The aspect of malefic reduces the good effects of the planet/house aspected by that planet. Example : (a) Sun is aspectedby ;upiter Jupiteris the most beneficpldnet. So aspect . of Jupiteris.good. This will increasethe good effects to be given 'Sun' by or reduceljhe\' maleficeffects to be givenby'Sun'. 'Sun'is (b) aspectedby Saturn ln this case : (i) Saturnwill causereduction in the benefic effectsto be givenby'Sun' (ii) Saturnwill resultinto enhancementof the maleficeffetcs to be givenby'Sun'. Note:Theabove examples are given just to explainthe simpleeffect of aspectof a beneficor a maleficplanet. Here we have not taken into accountmany other valuableinterpretations and points which are neccssary to be consideredbefore any conclusion is takenfor the effectof the aspectsof a planeton otherplanets. These can be discussedafter understanding/ learningthe subjectthoroughly. Predictive Astrology 137

9.3 Aspectof the planetshave also a major effect in f ructification of the resultsof anyplanet. The aspect are countedf romsign to sign.They are good or bad accordingto the (i) relationof the aspectingplanet with the planetaspected. (ii) the maleficor beneficnature of the planet " who is aspecting. ' Maharishi Prashara: Accordingto him every planethas f ull aspecton the seventhhouse f rom its position.(Example : Marsposited in Meshagives f ull aspecton TulaRashi, the seventhhouse f rom Mesha. whereMars is posited).

9.4 SPECIALASPECT Three planetsin additionto aspecton the seventh house have full aspecton some other housestoo. Theseaspects are : (i) Marshas fourth and eighth aspect in addition to the seventh. (ii) Jupiterhas fifthand ninthaspect in addition to seventh (iii) Saturnhas third and tenthaspect in addition to seventh The planetsMars, Jupiter and Saturn being outer planetslravetwo additionalaspects which are consideredto be f ullaspects, in comparisonto other planets.

9.5 RAHUAND KETU (A) The questionof the seventhaspect is notthere, becauseone of them is in the seventhf rom the other. So the one and seven axis is always 138 Predictive AstrologY

coveredby their positions'The effectol their axiscovers both the housesoccupied by them' The only differenceis of their positionswhich can be explainedas under: posited in Mithuna (Gemini),Ketu ' Rahu is automaticallyfalls in Dhanu(Sagittarius) exact 180"opposite to Rahu.So both Mithunaand Dhanu are affectedby their axis (thesetwo planets).We maysay Rahuis aspectingDhanu or Ketu is aspectingMithuna by their seventh aspect,but it is not requiredat all. (B) Thereis differencedue to position: (a) Rahu in Mithunais treated as exalted' Rahu'seffect on Mercury'ssign will be different from the positionof Ketu in Mercury'ssign (Mithuna) (p) Ketu if positedin Mithuna,the axis will be s"m" effectingboth Mithuna and Dhanu,but the positionof Ketu in Mithunais in a debilitation sign.Ketu's effect on Mercury( - Wisdom) is betterthan the Rahu'seffect on Mercury' Note: There is differenceof opinionregarding the sign of exaltationof Rahuand Ketu'Rahu in Vrish {Taurus)is alsotreated as exalted.Ketu in Vrishchika (scorpio)is treatedas exalted.We may studyboth, but in practicethe resultsare foundmore favourable whiletreating Rahu exalted in Vrish(Taurus) the sign of Venus. Thereis controversyon the aspectsof Rahuand Ketu.Dr. B.V.Raman has also talked aboutthis in his book HTNDUPREDTCTIVE ASTROLOGY' Somelearned astrologers take Rahu'sseventh aspectand no aspectfor (etu as Ketuis treatedas blind.According to VenketeshwarDaivangya Rahu Predictive AstrologY and Ketuhave full aspecton the seventhhouse only' Some learnedastrologers are taking Rahu's fifth,seventh, ninth and twelfth aspects as f ull aspects and fourthand eighthas 3/4th,third and teltthas 1/ 4th aspects.

9.8 Herewe havetaken each house as under: 1) 3rd house from 60' to 90" 2) 10thhouse from 270" to 300' 3) Sthhouse from 120"to 150' 4) 9th house from 240" to 270" 5) 4th house from 90' to 120' 6) 8th house from 210" to 240' 7) 7th house from 180' to 210" Note:Thismay be useful in casethe effectof aspect is seenfrom degreeto degree.

9.9 SOMEOF THE ASPECTSARE TREATED VERY GOOD 1) lf a planetaspects its own sign by seventhor special aspects will certainly increasethe significationsof that house. 2) When beneficplanet aspects the other benefic planet 3) When a yoga Karakaplanet aspects the other yoga karakaplanet. (Here'YogaKaraka', means a planetwhich is lord of fifth or ninth on one hand and also lord of eitherfourth or seventhor tenthon the otherhand. This aspecttogether with the resultsof suchplanets, will be takenup in laterchapters). The effectof the natural'Benefic'and'Malefic' planetscannot be ignoredon the groundthat they are functionalbenefic and malefic.In the advanced coursesthe studentswill learn how to calculatethe 'Graha 'Bhava Bala'and Bala'whichonly revealthe exact quantum of the strengthof the planetsand their aspects.Here it is sufficientto understandthat Predictive Astrology 141 the aspect of beneficplanets is alwaysfavourable whereasthe aspectof maleficplanets is not always favourhble. We believethat the Jupiter'saspect sprinkles GangaJal (holywater of riverGanges). lf any Bhava is aspectedby Jupiter,though the lordand the house are both badly afflicted,the nativeis bound to get somefavourable results in respectof that Bhava.

9.10 ACCORDINGTO WESTERNASTROLOGY (As discussedby Dr. B.V.Raman in his book HTNDU PRT E DC tTtVE ASTROLOSY) The aspectsare reckonedfrom mutuallongitudinal distances6f planets.When one planetis at a certain numberof degreesaway f romanother body, they are said to be in asPect' orbsof Aspect Conjunction: lf two heavenlybodies are in the g" same Longitudes Opposition: When the distancebetween two bodiesis 180 degrees Trine: Whenthe distance between two B" bodiesis 120degrees Square: When the distancebetween two g" bodiesis 90 degrees Sextile: When the distancebetween the Z" two bodies is 60 degrees Parallel: Wherrtwo bodies have the same 1" declination(Kranti) Declination: (whichcan be calculatedaccording ' to Grahaand BhavaBala) The effectof an aspectis felt evenif the planets are not exactlyin the mutualdistances (mentioned aboveas betweenthe two heavqnlybodies), therefore a so-calledorbs of aspect(as shownabove) are taken. 't42 Predictive AstrologY

9.11 The influenceof an aspect(e.9. sextile) starts when the planetsare fifty three degreesaway from eachother, gradually increases and will be maximum at sixtydegrees. After that point starts decreasing till the differenceis sixtyseven degrees where it is nil. The good or bad effectsof aspectsdepends uponthe angle of aspects.Theopposition (180 degrees) and square(90 degrees)are alwayssaid to be evil irrespectiveof the natureof the planetsforming the aspects.The sextile(60 degrees) and the trine (120 degrees)are alwaYsgood.

9.12 In Vedic Astrology the aspectsare good or bad accordingto the natureand characteristicsof the planets.The aspectsof the most beneficplanet Jupiterwill be alwaysgood, if it happenedto be f unctionalbenef ic also the benefic results are assured.lf Jupiterposited in Meshaaspects Saturn in Tula,which is an opposition"aspect and is,bad accordingto westernastrology. This is an absolutely wrong inference,according to Vedic Astrologyand also on the basis of the resultsexperienced by the learnedastrologers. It wouldbe betterto practiceand to acquireself experienceand get the results.But here we are concernedwith our Vedicsystem only.

9.13 Letus understandthe importance of aspectsand theireffects according to vedicastrology, on the basis of the followingdiscussion on the horoscopeof Sri Chaitanya(Page 79 ol NotableH.oroscoPes) A.

KEY PLANETSFOR SIGNS

10.1In Vedic Astrology its describedthat the planets and rashishave their individual as wellas combined effectson the inhabitantsof the earth.Their effects havebeen seen havingcontrol on: (i) the lifeevents of the humar'tbeings (ii) on crops,rains, earthquakes (iii)political atmosphere of a nation,etc. There effectscan be assessedby taking the planets and their positionsin respectiverashis together,lt meansthe positionof a planetor transit of a planetin any rashihas its peculiareffect' The characteristicsof planets,rashis and of theirkarkas, havealready been discussed in detail.The effectsof planetsin differentrashis (signs) will be discussed in Chapterl2. Inthis Chapter discussion will be regardingthe planetswhich have their importance with refernceto Lagnasfalling in differentrashis' Dr' B.V'Raman has definedthem as Key planets in his book Hindu predictiveAstrologY.

10.2Lagna is the centrepoint in a birthchart. The other eleven bhava's(houses)give their effects accordingto their positionsf rom the Lagna. ,nPf Pn'ipnrr' Predictive Astrology 147

(i) The4th, 7th and 1Othhouses f romLagna (falling respectivelyat a distanceof 90" to 120",180" to 210" and 270"to 300') are knownas Kendra Sthanas(squares or quadrant). (ii) The 5th house (from 120' to 150') and 9th house (from 240" to 27O")f rom the Lagna are known as TrikonaSthanas (trines).

Thesehouses are countedf rom Lagnasign. Here in the aboveexample we havetaken Aries as Lagna. Lagnaof the birthchart is both a kendraas well as trikonasthana. Thereforethe positionis as under KendraSthanas = 1,4,7,10 TrikonaSthanas = 1,5,9A (i) KendraSthanas are defined as Sthanas. (ii) TrikonaSthanas are defined as LakshmiSthanas. 148 Predictive Astrology

10.3 RAJAYOGAS Whena planetof grouo(i)joinsthe planetof group(ii)or viceversa or if the lordof oneof the housesof group(i) is positedin the houseof group(ii)or there is a connectionof aspects (DrishtiSambandha) between them, it becomesa RajaYoga (an auspiciousYoga) which is boundto give good results.This is clear, when the two lords one of Kendra(Vishnu) and the other Trikona(Lakshmi) joins, they show the grace of bothVishnu and Lakshmi.The nativegets the kripa (grace)blessings of LakshmiNarayan. Due to this Yoga(means association of one with the other)the nativewill have favourableresults in respectof the bhavasconcerned as well as generalprosperity in lifeand enjoygood luckduring the dashaperiod of theseplanets.

10.4 YOGA KARKA A planetwhich is lordof KendraSthana and alsoof a TrikonaSthana (because of the dual lordshipof the houses)becomes Yogakaraka by itself. Thisdoes not needthe joining of otherplanet to produceRaja Yoga (auspiciousresults) Example: For: (a) TaurusLagna Saturnlord of 9thand 1Oth (b) LibraLagna Saturnlord of 4th and Sth (c) CancerLagna Marslord of Sthand 1Oth (d) LeoLagna Marslord of 4th and 9th (e) CapricornLagna Venuslord of Sthand 1Oth (f) AquariusLagna Venuslord of 4th and 9th These six lagnashave superiority over other h Predictive Astrology 149 .No otherLagna has this benefit. Similarly the three out of the sevenplanets, only can enjoy this specialstatus.

10.5 KENDRADHIPATYADOSHA The beneficplanets which are lordsof the kendrasthana are termedas planetscarrying Kendradhipatya Dosha. SqrDqa-q'rllqr q frvrfu TT sEI I (Parashara) The beneficsby virtueof theirlordship of Kendra will not indicatebenef ic effects.There is no mention that they will produce bad effects.This can be interpretedthat the benefic planetwhich has a nature of givinggood results,will becomeneutral and will not givebenefic effects because that planet happens to be the lord of Kendra Example: GeminiLagna Jupiterlord of 7th and 10th Virgo Lagna Jupiterlord of 4th and 7th SagittariusLagna Mercurylord of 7th and 1Oth PiscesLagna Mercurylord of 4th and 7th E{r fusg'lgg: gqilw B,*tHn I (Parashara) The malefics being lord of Kendra will not give inauspiciousresults.The benefics and maleficsbeing lord of Trikonawill always produce auspicious effects. Lagna being lord of Kendra and Trikona is alwayssupposed to give beneficresults. ar;t d;#rqerq fdi'\q gr{e-q I In para 10.4 it has alreadybeen clarif ied that 150 PredictiveAstrology anyplanet which is lordof KendraorTrikona becomes Yogakarakaplanet and give auspicious results. Hence when Lagnais lord of both Kendraand Trikona,the auspiciousresults will be achievedby the native duringthe periodof the dashaof lagnalord. Nofe; (i) Lagnalord owning another kenda 4th, 7th or 1Othshall not prove inauspicious. (ii) A malefic evenif it owns a kendrawill not becomeauspicious, though it will not be inauspicious.We may considerit to be neutral. (iii) Weak Moon by virtue of lord of Kendra becomesneutral. (iv) The blemishedAngular lordship will be in descendingorder - Venus,Jupiter, Mercury, Moon. Referalso AnnexureI

10.6BADHAKA STHANAS AND THEIR LORDS The 11th, 9th and 7th houses f rom any char (moveable),sthir (fixed)and dwiswabhava(dual) ascendantsrespectively are the BadhakaSthanas.

(i) The good and bad effectsof the lords of the 12th, 2nd, 8th houses depend on their association.They give effect of the ho'u5es, where they are positedin or the p'lanetswith whom they are associatedwith. They are strongerfrom 12th (strong),2nd (stronger)and 8th (strongest)in ascending order.In sometext the orderis 2nd,,8th,and 12thin whichcase ascending order will be 2nd, 8th and 12th. (ii) The 8th houseis 12th (houseof expenditure or wear and tear or depreciation)from 9th 152 Predictive Astrology

house and is bad for bhagya(luck) i.e. never auspicious.So 8thbecomes inauspicious house. (iii) lf a planet is lord of the 8th and is also Trishadayadhipati(lord of 3, 6, 11) becomes ' moremalef ic. This condition is possiblein only followingcases: Lagna Planet Lord of the house Taurus Jupiter 8th, 11th Virgo Mars 8th, 3rd Scorpio Mercury 8th and 11th Pisces Venus 8th and 3rd (iv) lf the 8th lord is also lordof Trikona(1, 5, 9) it becomesfavourable and benefic effectscan be expectedduring the period of dasha of that planet. Note: (a) The Sun and the Moon are exemptedfrom Ashtamadhipatya dosha. q F*vrqctsq qqiq-firiFitq I (b) The 8th houseis 5th from 4th house,4th from Sth, 2nd from 7th house etc. hencewill give favourableresults in respectof these house. Thereforethis housecan be treatedas neutral (i.e.gives good or bad resultsaccording to situations).

10.9 (i) ApachayaSthanas : 1,2, 4, 5,7, 8, 9,12 (ii) UpachayaSthanas : The3rd,6th,1Oth and1 1th houses. Predictive Astrology 153

(iii) Panapara(Succeedent): The 2nd, sth, 8th and1 1th houses. , (iv) Apoklim(Cadent) : The3rd, 6th, 9th and12th houses.

10.10The connectionof Kendraand Trikona lord with each otherforms very auspiciousyogas which give fame,status, wealth, success, etc. to the native.The effectof such yogaswill be discussedin Chapterl3 on "SpecialYogas". The discussionhere is to clearlyidentify and to understandthe good and bad planetsfor each ascendant.Before we proceedto the Key planeti (tabulatedbelow) for eachsign, it maybe notedthat the intensityof goodor evileffects of the planetsand theircombinations will alwaysdominate the results.

10.11The abovetable will help us to easilyfind the role of the planetsfor a particularLagna. Literatmeaning of "Key"is an instrumentfar turning bolt of a tock.Key alsomeans a systemfor sloving cipher or code. For prediction an astrologer has to trace the sensitivepoint in the horoscope from where the future can be unlocked. The Key planets help in finding out the strengthsand weaknessesof the birth chart. ln addition to furnishing the above table the detailed discussionin respect of each rashiis given ab under:

10.12ARIES Mars is the lord of 1st and 8th. Aries is the Mooltrikonasign of Mars.Mars will be helpfulto 156 Predictive Astrology auspiciousplanets. Jupiter (9th lord) and Saturn (1Oth and 11th lord) if theyare together will not give benef ic results(11th house is Saturn'sMooltrikona house and 11th is Badhakasthana for char Lagna).Jupiter if afflicted,willgive bad results. Saturn if afflicted,will inflict death.Venusis a definiteMaraka (gtr': 1ftTrBr6f,r). Moon will givemixed results.

10.13TAURUS Sun and Saturn are auspicious.Mercury is also auspiciousbut to some extent.Jupiter has been treatedas ill disposedand Marakabecause he owns both the evil houses.Moon the 3rd lord,Venus (lord of lagnaand 6th house)being lord of 6th (librabeing Mooltrikonasign for Venus)is marakaplanet. Sun is treatedauspicious alongwith Saturn and Mercury, Whilesun is lordof Kendraonly. Malefic lord of kendra is not supposedto giveinauspicous results and if he beinglord of kendrais simultaneouslylord of trikona also,becomes auspicious. Here sun is the ownerof one houseonly perhaps this is the reasonthe sage Parasharahas said: gdt efiF{oTotl.Mercury is the lordof 2nd (Marakasthana) and 5th (Trikonahouse), but has been defined somewhatgood (erogqqq;111 Mercuryjoins Saturn and Sun will give benef ic results effectively.Mercury alone may not be veryauspicious. Marsbeing lord of 7th and 12this termedas Maraka because7th is MarakaSthana and the Mooltrikona signis of Mars12th (inauspicious house) from Taurus. Moon too becomes Marakawhen connectedwith other Marakaplanets.

10.14GEMINI Jupiter(lord of 7th and 10th)and Saturn(lord of 8th and 9th) if they are togetherno beneficresults (the Predictive AstrologY 157 positionbeing the lordol gth and 1Othtogether) are expected.Saturn lord of 8thand Jupiter's Mooltrikona houseis 7th which is Badhakasthana for dual sign Lagna.(The benefic planet which is lordof kendradoes not giveauspicious results because of kendradhipatya dosha). The Moon is the prime killer 1utfrSwFrrm) dependingupon her association.

10.15CANCER Mars,Jupiter and the Moonare auspicious'Saturn and the Sun are Killersbut they give effect as per theirassociation. This means Saturn(lord of 7th and 8th) and the Sun (lordof 2nd) are Marakas,but they giveeffects not independently,but are capable of doing goodor bad as pertheir relationship with others' Venus is also not auspicious,being lord of kendra(the 4th houseLibra is Mooltrikonasign) and alsolord of 11thhouse (which is Badhakasthana for charaLagna). Venus has a dual roleof malefic to do evils. Jupiteris also termed as auspiciousplanet, inspiteof his lordshipof 6th (theMooltrikona sign)' Peinapsbecause the mostbenef ic Trikona is 9th and jupiteiis closestfriend of the Moon(Lagna Lord), ihe auspiciousresults are statedto be obtainedby the native.

10.16LEO Mars,Jupiter and the Sun are auspiciousplanets' Saturnand the Moonare Killers(they give good or bad resultsaccording to theirassociation)' Saturnis bad, becauselord of the 6th and 7th and is enemyof Lagnalord. {: Mercurythe lordof 2nd (Mooltrikonasign) and 158 Predictive Astrology

11thand Venusbeing enemy of lagnalord, lord of 3rd(mooltrikonasign) and 10th (Kendradhipatya dasha)become inauspicious.

10.17VrRGO Mars,Jupiter and the Moonare malefics.Mercury and Venusare auspicious.Venus is killeras well (qrdrfi m'fr,).The sun will give effect dependingon his association.(l1d :).Saturn being lord of 5th and friend of lagna lord will give good results(but Parasharahas said nothingabout Saturn here and alsofor Gemini lagna except for associationof Saturn and Jupiter).Saturn is also lord of 6th, may cause somehardship also (6th house is Mooltrikonasign). Mars beinglord of 2nd & 8th can also act as a killer.

10.18LIBRA Mercuryis treatedas auspicious.Mars is definedas killer.Mars is lord of 2nd and 7th and Sun lord of 11th, (Badhakasthanadhipatifor chara Lagna),an obstructingforce are inauspicious.Jupiter is lordof 3rd and 6th is the maleficand alsoenemy of Lagna lord (Jupitertreats Venus as an enemy).

10.19SCORPIO Venus,Mercury and Saturnare malefics. Jupiter and Moon are auspicious.Venus, Mercury and other maleficscause death. Mars is rieutralfor this Lagna (as Venusis for LibraLagna). Mars beinglord of Lagna (auspicious)but lord of 6th which is his mooltrikonasign (lnasupicious).

10.20SAGITTARIUS Marsand Sun are auspicious.Sun and Mercuryare capableof conferringa yoga.Saturn though a killer, PredictiveAstrology 159 does not inflict death.Jupiter is neutral.Venus acquirespowers to kilt;as he is lordof 6th and 11th and enemy of Lagna lord, a high class maleficfor thisLagna. Saturn is alsokiller being lord of 2nd and 3rd.Venus if associatedwith Saturn and becomes killer. Mercuryis lord of 7th and 1Oth(two kendras) and the 1Othis mooltrikonasign. lf Mercuryjoins the Sun (9th lord)or Mars (Sthlord) both auspicious for this Lagna, gives beneficresults. Association of the Moon and Jupitercan also conferexcellence. (When jupiter and the Moonare together, they give rise to Gajakesariyoga whichwill be discussedin Chapter13).

10.21CAPRICORN Venusand Mercuryare auspicious.Saturn will not kill of his own beingLagna lord (rq: tfli q Ef,r).Mars and other malefics may inflict death(efu vm' gurew:) Sun is neutral. Marslord of 4th(Mooltrikona) and 11th(Badhaka sthana)will give adverseresults. Jupiter is lord of 3rd and 12th (Mooltrikona)so gives unfavourable results.The Moon is the 7th lord (Marakasthana). perhapsfor this reasonSage Parasharahas said: gw$n

10.22 AQUARIUS Jupiter,the Moonand Marsare malefics.Venus and Saturnare auspicious.Venus is the only strongest Rajayoga. karaka (being lord of 4th and9th). Jupiter, the Sun and Mars may act as killers.Mercury is medium(may give mixed results). Jupiter (lord of 2nd and 11thhouses), the Moon(6th lord) and Mars(lord of 3rd and 10th) are malefics (qrw:). Predictive Astrology

10.23PTSCES Mars with Moon or Jupitercauses Rajayoga.Moon and Marsare auspicious.Mars is the mostpowerf ul. Marsis a killertoo, but will not killof his own,being also lord of Trinehouse (9th house).Mars does not kill of his own unlessinstigated by anotherkiller Saturnor Mercury.Saturn, Sun, Venus and Mercury are evils.Saturn is the lordof 11thand 12th,both evil houses.Venus lord of 3rd and 8th is also lord of two evil houses.Sun ruling6th house is also an inasupiciousplanet.

AYURDAYAAND MARAKA

11.1 The two topicswill be discussedone by one. We havealready discussed in the previouschapters about planets,their characteristics,ownership and avasthasetc. and aboutrashis. their characteristics and karakatwasetc. The methodsto corrector verify the birthtime, calculationof dashas,aspects of the planetsand effectsof Lagnafalling in differentrashis havealready been discussed in detailsand clarified. The importantKarakatwas of concernedhouses and mainlythe 8th housewhich is calledAyusthana, and 2nd and7th housewhich are Marakasthanasare being discussedin this chapter.When we talk of age and maraka,our attentiongoes to 8th,2nd and 7th houses. 11.2AYURDAYA rilg YE EqrRq ! (a-{|-{i q Fd6.qr I fl=i gdq qq Et-{R | | In the aboveshloka Sage Parasharasays that he is telling about longevityof a nativewhich is difficult even for ,with the intention of benefittingmankind. 162 Predictive Astrology

For longevitysome learnedastrologers praise yogasand othersoperating dasha periods. They say withoutthese even the Munisare also not able to predictlongevity (Sarvartha Chinatamanf Note:This being a difficult and lengthy topic, it would be fully discussedin a seperatebook, where the calculationpart will be covered.Here the discussion willbe in detail,but without mathematical calculations of longevity.

11.3 The judgementof longevityis a must for a thoroughanalysis of any birthchart. The firstthing afterthe birthof a nativeis to see his longevity,before any futureprediction is given.lt is saidthat in case of a human being, it is difficultto determinethe longevityof a childwithin the first twelve years. This periodof 12 yearsis dividedinto three groups: (1) Firstfour years depend'upon the Purva Janmasins of the mother. (2) Secondfour years depend upon the Purva Janmasins of the father. (3) Third four years native'sown PurvaJanma stns. eTrdq-ES Enfrq-d'rddqdfficlowq €t: I qffiKKRRl Erg:Yrcf,J sokr\: 115tfr mqtf ll (Phaladeepika)

11.4 STRENGTHOF SANTANBHAVA The Sthhouse is SantanBhava and this is the house whichalso represents"Punya Karmas of pastbirth". It seemsthere is a connectionbetweem the past karmasand progenyand the 9th house,the Dharma Bhavaand house of father.(lt can also be said to "|ryr Predictive AstrologY 163 il representfore-fathers, because Lagna is Sthfrom 9th andthe Sthhouse is the 9thf romthe gth house' Again f romSth, the 9th houseis Sth).Unless the nativehas goodwishes of hisfore-fathers and father, he cannot havea son.lf thereis any affliction to Santanbhava, only worship,charity etc. is the remedialmeasure (whichis representedby the 9th bhava).ln case of para 11.3 supra the father is to performsuitable religiousrites preceded by the Mantrasand oflerings of oblationsby pouringof ghee etc. in havan (holy fire)as prescribedbY our Sages.

11.5 BALARISHTHA(lnfant Mortality) Periodupto eight years of an individual'slife is called as Balarishta.The periodf rom 8 yearsto 20 yearsis termed as Yogarishta.Both the yogas are bad for a child.An astrologermust see the birthchart of newly bornbaby from this angle. lf the birthchart showsinauspicious yogas such as: (i) Dina MritYu When the birth is duringday time,in the following nakshatras: & ..

The Moon is posited in 6th, 9th or the 12th from Lagna and has PAC with malefic- the child dies soon. b.

Only the life span will be decided.The three main systemsof calculationare: (a) Amasayu (oT{rB- Calculatedwhen the Lagna lord is ,morepowerful than the Sun and the Moon.The periodcontributed by Lagna and planetswill be the age. (b) Pindayu (fustg)- Atsocalted Grahadattayurdaya i. e. the total term of life grantedby all the planets. (c) Nisargayu(Mu:) - the years allottedto the planets.

11.17ANALYSIS FOR LONGEVITY 1. Lagnais aspectedby malefic only.Here Mars is Lagnalord. The aspectof Mars is good for health.Because the aspectof the lord on its own house strengthensthe Pk'ava.But for healthand longevitypurpose this will be treated as a maleficaspect too. 2. Moonin 12thwith Ketu and aspected by Saturn 3. Lagna lord Mars in 7th aspectedby Saturn (Saturnbeing retrograde gives effect from Leo also) 4. there is maleficin the 8thfrom the Moon(i. e. Mars,which causes accidental death). 5. Thereis no benefic in kendraf rom Lagnaexcept Venus(Lord of 2nd and7th a maraka)which is combust.So no use of from beneficin kendra. 6. Similaris the positionfrom the Moon. Only Lagnalord (Moonsign Lord)Jupiter in Kendra which is again badly afflictedby Saturn and Rahuand betweenmalefics. Jupiter is in Mars constellationand Marsin Jupiter'sconstellation. 7. The Ayush karakaSaturn is againaff licted by Rahu. Referto the principlesof longevitydiscussion in earlierparas. The discussiongiven above shows affliction to the basichouses and lordsis harmfulfor the longevity.These aff liction are responsiblefor the reductionof lifespan f romfull life to mediumlife span. Note:For detailedanalysis see Annexure- lll

11.18 MARAKA Marakaplanets are thosewhich possessthe power of inflictingdeath. Death generally occurs during the periods and sub-periods of planets becoming marakasfor the native. ,,r47fl Predictive Astrology 185

Fromname itselfit appearsthat the discussion will be about the planetswhich causesmiseries/ death.For better understanding the topic, the readers arealso advised to referto thechapter on KeyPlanets where referencesabout these planetshave been tabulated(Para 10.10 to 10.23). For longevitywe consider8th (Ayusthana)and 3rd (being8th f rom 8th).The marakascause reduction in longevity.This means an expenditure/losswhich resultsin reductionin the periodof life span.The expenditure/lossis representedby 12th house.In astrology12th Bhavais termedas qqqrq (houseof expenditure).So the 12thto 8th is 7th and 12thto. 3rd is 2nd. Thereforethe housesof death are 2nd and 7th.Their lords become Marakas. Let us discuss thesepoints one by one. 11.19MARAKA POWER (i) Out of the two 2nd and 7th, the 2nd is more powerful Marakathan 7th. (ii) The 2nd house as Dhana Bhava(house of income)or VaniSthana (house of speech)is morepreferred by people.The wealth is useful 'health whenthere is both and life'(long life) -otherwisewealth is of no use.When doctor's advice is not to take rich food for health, reasonsput restrictionson enjoyingcomforts of his belongings.lf the nati'veis havingthe graceof GoddessLaxmi and LordVishnu i. e. Graceof LakshmiNarayan (the combination of Kendraor Trikonaboth givingeffect on Dhana Sthana)the nativeenjoys sound health and happiness.So is thecase of 7thhouse, one is luckyto havea happymarried life if 7th lord and house are strong.The other effectsof thesehouses (2nd and 7th)will be of Maraka. 186 Predictive Astrology

(iii) The Lordof 2nd and 7th, the maleficsposited . in thesehouse, malefics posited with the lord of 2nd and 7th houses etc. all become Marakas. (iv) The dasha of a beneficplanet related to the 12thlord may givedeath/troubles. (v) ,The dashaof strongmalefic may alsocause death. (vi) The lordof the 8th houseduring its dasha may give deathto the native. (vii) The 12thhouse is 12thto Lagna,so the same resultscausing death of body (physicalbody representedby Lagna,the first house) (viii) The l2th.houseis termedas MokshaSthana (houseof terminationof presentlife).

11.20The Marakasin ascendingorders are: (i) 12th,3rd, 8th, 7th, and 2nd. (ii) The occupantsand lordsof 6th and 11thare alsotreated as secondgrade killers. (iii) The lordsand the planetsposited in Sth,9th, 1Othand Lagnaare also the Marakasof last category.

11.21ROLE OF PLANETARYPERIOD Unlessthe end of life is therethe dashaof 2nd and 7th lordwill not becomeMaraka dasha. The lord of 2nd may give wealthand the lord of 7th (if there is age of marriage)may givemarriage. lf there is dasha of the lords of these Marakasthanasor malefic planetbut the life is there, the nativemay not meetdeath but facevery difficult situationsor diseaseor accident(q-sq qr rrggqtr-€). Predictive AstrologY 187

11.22(i) The dashaof a malefic planetin the Antara (subperiod)of a beneficplanet will not cause death, but in the subperiodof a malefic planet (though not related to dashanath)may give death. This meansa beneficplanet if positedwith a malefic planet,the maleficplanet during his major periodand subpeiod of thatbenef ic planet will not give death.But the same malefic planetduring subperiod of anothermalefic (thoughthat malefic is notassociated with majorperiod lord) will cause death. (ii) The threatto longevityshould be predicted , throughthe evil effect arisingfrom 8th house reckonedfrom the Lagna or the Moon,through the evil effectof the sign representingnavamsha occupied by the lordof the 8th house.

11.23In the examplegiven in para11.15 the native met withan accidentduring the dasha: Moon( Mahadasha/J upite r (Antardasha)/Me rcu ry (Pratyantardasha). '12th 1. The Moon,is the lord of 4th, positedin aspectedby Saturn(1Oth and 11th lord), Jupiter (gthand 12thlord) and positedwith Ketu.The Moonhas acquiredMaraka powers. The Moon is in the constellationof Mercury'Mars is in 8th from Moon 2. Jupiteris thelord of 12thposited in 6th and afflicted by Saturnand Rahu.Jupiter is the dispositorof the Moonand positedin 7th from the Moonwith Saturnwhich is lord of 12thfrom the Moon. Jupiterlord of 12thposited in 6th and in 12th from Lagnalord, has acquiredmaraka powers' 188 Predictive Astrology

3. Mercurythe lord of 3rd, 6th positedin 11th housein the nakshatraof Mars.Mercury is also lord12th f rom lagnalord Mars. From the Moon, Mercuryis the lord of 7th positedin 12thand has exchangedthe housewith the lord of 12th Saturn.The positionof Pratyantar dasha Nath also to be seen from Mahadashalord and Antardashalord. Jupiter is in the 7thfrom the Moon (MDlord), Mercury in the6th from Jupiter (AD lord) and 12th from the Moon,(MDlord). The positionagain becomebad for the native.Thus Mercury also became Maraka.This subjectwill be better understoodfor practicalpurposes, if studiedalong with the Gochara (Transit),which pin pointsthe exact time of fructification,

PLANETSIN DIFFERENT SIGNS

The twelve signs of the Zodiac have their own characteristicsand peculiarities.So do the nine planetshave" ln this chapterthe discussionwill be regardingthe combinationof .two i. e. a planetand a rashi"The readersmust haveseen by now that the planetmay be ownerof anysign, but also found bieng posited in dilferentsign. Sometimeswith other planetstoo. lt also happensthat the ownerof one signexchange their sign with some other planet. Say Mars(owner of Aries)posited in Capricorn.The lord of CapricornSaturn is positedin Aries.Here Saturn and Marshave exchanged their places. Here the Mars has got exaltationand Saturndebilitation. Saturn gives 1Othaspect to Mars, in turn Mars give 4th aspect to Saturn. The two planets are closely connectedwith each other. There will be some reaction of such combinitations.The mixingof bluecolour with yellow gives green colour.ln the same way if a planet is positedin a sign, the mixtureof the characteristics of the two will producesome differentresults. The effectof such mixtureis to be understoodas this is W Predictive Astrology 191 very essentialfor predictiveastrology. A discussion aboutthe planetsin differentsigns is as under:- 12.1 THE SUN (1) Sunin Aries (i) The nativeis courageous.intelligent, active, ownerof lands.head of villageor town,involved , in social and welfare activities, and has prominent personality.The native may be phlegmatic,may suffer f romdisease connected with blood etc. He will have strong body.He willbe famousin Arts,fond of war,f ierce, fond. of roaming,dutiful, do valorousdeeds etc. He will be well conversantwith shastrasand will ' commentupon them. , (ii) Sunis exaltedin this sign resulting in proneness to f requentwanderings. Sun is the lordof the , Sthf rom this sign.The nativewill haveexcess of heat,so energetic,inclination to ruleas the natureof Sun and Mars(Lord of Aries)is kingly . and commandingrespectively. The native inherits marked personality, royal and r commanding appearance, irritable and impulsivenature. Sun in Ariesmay denote able doctors,poison curing physicians,will give strongbones to the native,etc. The native does not likesubordination. Aries is the first sign of the Zodiac represents"Head". Sun again represents"Soul and Head".The nativehas a tendency to rule or will be haPPY in , commandingposition. This position is goodfor politicalaspirations. (2) Sun in Taurus (i) He may sufferf rom diseaseof oralcavity, face and eyes. He w'ill have emaciated body, 192 Predictive Astrology

He willbe intellligent. (ii) The Sun andVenus are enemies. The position of Sun (lordof 4th f romthis sign)is not very comfortableposition for him. Sun beingsoul becomessensuous, as the effectof this sign will be inherited.As regards Tatwas are concernedthe Sun is lord of fiery sign and " placedin earthysign again friend no problem. Thiswill makethe nativepractical tolerent and sympathetic.The effects discussed in (i)above will happenas it has been descreibedso by the sages.But the analysisin the para,shows thatthe nativemay be inclinedto haveallthese things/mayhave them but therewill not be full effect,as he mayhave no time/moneyto acquire them.TheSun is a fiery planet in the sign of Venus (Bhoga)will destroy the comforts (enemy's house) or the soulmay not be interestedin wordly things. (3) Sun in Gemini (i) He will be a scholar,mathematician, good conversationist,capable of givingtremendous speech,famous, learned, modest, astrologer, knowledgeof shastras,Grammarian, -famousastronomer, for his policies,will have good conduct, will havetwo mothers. Predictive Astrology 193

(ii) The Sun is friendof Mercury,but Mercuryis neutraltowards Sun. FrornGemini, the Sun is lord of 3rd sign.The combininationof Sun and Mercurygives a yogaknown as "Budh- Adityayoga" whichis very common yoga, which means the native is highlyintelligent, skillful in all works, good reputation,personal respect and has all comforts , of life.A fool may havekingdom, but will never be able to enjoyit for long.lt is only the wise and strong man who can rule.Sun a royal planetin the signof wit.Airy sign again shows intelligence.The native will be expert in knowledgederived from worldlyexperiences. (4) Sun in Cancer (i) He willnot be steadyin mind.He will be famous for his royalqualities and will hate his own man. He will be unluckyin respectof wife.He may havecruel nature, disobedience to father,fully , conversantwith effects of "Kaliyuga".Wealthy, unkind,indolent, unhappy, expert astrologer, geographerand scientisttravelling and has independent nature. A sickly person, be ' troubleddue to imbalanceof phlegmand bile, : will be intoxicant. (ii) The Sun a plhnetof heat in waterysign, lord of the 2nd housef romKaraka, 2nd lord in lagna . good for wealth, but bad for health. The closenessof Sunand Moon, weakens the Moon whichrepresents health. This causes sickness. Sun loosesits nobility and energyin thissign. (5) Sun in Leo (i) Stablemind, firmness in decision,hard working andcourageous, enthusiastic, valorous, renowned for his capabilityand good qualitiesbright in 194 Predictive AstrologY

appearance,respected by kings,helps and satisfies others. He is strong,cruel, independent, has organising capacity and talent for propaganda.He will destroyhis enemies,will wanderin forests,hills and fortresses. The native will be king,plentiful in wealthand famous. (ii) Herethe lord is in his own sign.This shows thatthe Sun is strong.Hence good effects and gives sound health.A royal planetin a royal sign.Sthir Rasi has a planetof strongand sthir (stable,firm etc.) nature.The nativewill have highsoul. (6) sunin pqOIira (i) The native gets wealth from the king or Government,soft spoken,fond of repeating songs sung by others,capable of defeating animals.He will be skillfulin ,songs, playinginstruments, Mathematician, taste for literature,scholar, an expert writer, good memory,lucid comprehension, soft and kind speech,Artistic, Poet, Linguist. (ii) Sun and Mercuryform Budh - Adityayoga, the sameposition as of Sunin Gemini'But here it is better,because this is Mercury'sExaltation and Mooltrikonasign too, Mercuryis more powerfulin Virgo. In GeminitheSun was nearer to his exaltationpoint. Here Sun is near the debilitationpoint and also lord of 12thf rom this sign. Sun is weak.This is earthysign. The characteristicsof this sign will be more prominentsuch, as mathematician,writership, authorship,lucid, kind, clever and soft speech etc. TheSun is'Neecha bhilashi', which shows that the Sun (Atma) is becomingweak. So the % PredictiveAstrology

nativemay becomeselfish. Because of the effectsof Mercurythe nativebecomes cunning also. (7) Sun in Libra (i) Drunkard,loose morals,may co-habitwith other'swives, wicked, frank, manufacturerof liquors,fear from king, quarrelsome, nature to oppose,creates disturbances, dirty, poor" ready to work for others,submissive, base, wicked. He will facef rustration,destruction and heavy expenditure. (ii) In this case also the positionis same as that. of TAURUSi. e. Sunin Venus'shouse. Sun and . Venus are enemies.ln TaurusSun is near exaltationsign but this is signof debilitationof Sun. Sun in this sign loosesstrength. Sun representing -'Atman' (Soul) is totally degraded, hence moral values gone or completelysurrendered to characteristicsof Librasign. Sun in Libraof 10degrees will singly be capable of nullifying all other good combinationsin the horoscope.TAURUS was Earthysign (practicaltolerent, sympathetic etc.) but Librais Airy sign (not hardworking), the seriousnessgone and the nativewill build castlesin the air.

unprincipled,idiotic etc. He may havemilitary ability,incompatible, lust for war, and surgical skill. He will havebase wife or will sufferdue loss of wife. (ii) HereSun is in f riendshouse also. The position can be that of Aries.Aries is a fiery sign and thisis waterysign, which is a enemysign for a fiery planet.The good qualitiesof Mars and Sun inheritedby the signAries, Sun beingin exaltationand in Mooltrikonahouse of Mars, can notbe availablehere as the Sun(just come out of the sign of debiiitation)is nearerto the sign of debilitation(weak). But Sun is lord of the 10thf rom this sign, the nativemay acquire the qualitieslike a ruler,military ability and surgicalskill. Otherwise all bad resultsonly, suchas quarrelsome,suffering on accountof wife, feai' from weapons,fire, poison,eye troubleetc. will be there,if afflicted.

The relationbetween the two olanetsis also not very friendly.Perhaps the combinationof the characteristicsof Sagittariusand Venus is capableof bestowing the nativewealth, happy marriedlife, good sons,high position, ministership and has been describedthat the nativewill shine like a Sun of his family (ea'TqrT). (10) Venusin Capricorn (i) The native will have weak body, will be imprudent,ambitious, learned, subtle, fond of low classwomen, unprincipled, boastful, due to fearof expendituremay prefer to cohabitwith old women,weak due to greatworrries, fond of livingin the companyof poetsand also in jungles.His condition will be miserabledue to heavy expenditure,will suffer from heart diseases,be a liar,skilful in cheating,be a eunuch,devoid of good acts,very distressed, be a dunce,interested in other'swork and will endure misery (ql;|q Tci qaYK{dI).

All are auspicious positions.But the resultsattributed by sages are not very good. ' The positionof Venus in Saturn'ssign may causeprogenic ability. He and hiswife will be PredictiveAstrologY

weak in constitution.Venus will inheritthe characteristicsof Saturn,visiting to prostitutes, cheatingothers, unhappy marriage, misfortunes, may face manyobstacles in his livelihood. The auspiciouseffects of Sth,1Oth, gth and 4th (Kendraand Trikona sthanas) will alsobe there. The nativewill prosperin life. ln the modern context the Saturn-Venuscombination may give knowledgeof technicalsubjects, work connectedwith womenor upliftmentof lower castes,politics and also gainsthere from, as Varahamihirahas also said that Venus in Capricornwill makethe nativefortunate and also interestedin low castewomen. He may be havingbad resultsdue to combinationof Saturn- Venus,but will also have fortunesbecause of goodrelations between Saturn and Venus. (11) Venusin Aquarius (i) Venusin Aquariusmakes the nativemiddle stature,handsome, affable, persuasive, witty, timid,chaste, calm, helpful, humanitarian and be likedby all. He will be lackingornaments and beautifulclothes, but will do nice deeds lMrara-cct) and will be lazy. He will lose his all earnedwealth. He will sufferfrom diseasesand excitement, failurein all ventures,(qig_qFdnD will visit other women,will not be virtous, be inimicalto elders and to his own children.He will be devoidof bathing,good food, good clothesornaments etc.and wiil be physicallydirty.

The positionis similiaras to that of Capricorn being in the sign of Saturn, but being Ucchhabhilashi,Venus (a greatdesire to enjoy worldlycomforts), together with the effectsof Saturn(which represents servants, low caste, low and meandeeds etc.) will makethe native attractedtowards women, enjoyment, laziness etc.which brings illuck and diseasesboth. (12) Venusin Pisces (i) Venus in Piscesattributes to the native - tactfulness,popularity, ingenious, modesty and good education.He will be powerful,exalted, respected,pleasure-seeking, liked by all and will be middlestature. He willbe as richas king,he willbe victorious and get wealthwhen he attacksenemy, fond of givingcharities etc. Hewill be courteous,liberal, virtuous, very wealthy, ' will destroyenemies, be famousin the world, excellent,distinguished, dear to king,be endowed with good speechand wisdom,be liberal,will derivewealth and respectfrom the virtuous,will , keep up his promise,will maintainhis family membersand be endowedwith knowledge.

He willaddress the assemblywith wisdom and in a noble way.He will have great desiresor ambitions,will be passionateand emotional in his behaviour.He will be long lived, well reputed,intelligent and will be successfulin achievinghis target. (v) Conclusions (a) The resultsor effects'ofthe yoga given by all sagesare by and largethe same. One fact is similarin all the views that Jupitershould be in Kendrafrom Moonor theyare mutually in Kendra.The differences are - 1. Jupiter is posited in kendra from lagnaor Moon. 2. Conjunct or aspected by other benefic' - parashara 3. Moon is not combustor weak and is aspectedby the planets Venus, Jupiterand Mercury.This is another type of Gajakesariyoga. - Jataka Parijata lf the Moon is strongand is positedor aspectedby Venus,Jupiter and strong Mercury,it has been foundto give good results.Venus and Moon if aspectingeach other, give very good results. (b) Kumara Swameeyam,a popularTamil classicdescribes thus: . "Thewaxing Moon and Jupiterare in 4th or are 1Othf rom each causes Gajakesari yoga." Predictive Astrology

(c) Anotherview is thatthe Moonand Jupiter are in Kendrafrom each other but Mercury should not be in the Sth housefrom the Moonnor the Moonshould be aspectedby Mercury,only then there is Gajakesariyoga. (d) There is anotheropinion that duringthe dasha periodof Venus,the Gajakesari yoga also givesthe results. With so manyviews it is betterto accept: "Jupiterin kendrafrom Moon or if they are mutuallyin kendrafrom each other"Yoga is formed. The aspect of benefics- Venuswill enhance the good resultsof this yoga. The nativewill be polite,generouQ, builder of villages,towns, or nations,magistrate, will be famousand will havelasting reputation.

Balancece of Marsdasha at birth = 2yrs-0- 2Odays combustion(1Oth lord, the Moonis debilitated). The native is highlyeducated, learned and skilledin shastrasetc., rose to a highposition in Govt.service, renowned Astrologer and is known as a teacher of Astrology.He has producednumerous researches (publishqd in Astrological Magazine, Times of Astrology, Jyotishmati, Vigyanetc.) and also author of many books. The differencebetween the resultsin two charts is that in the chartnumber lX the Jupiterand the Moon have mutualaspect. The Moon is Predictive Astrology

exaltedand powerful.Jupiter is approaching ownsign and is aspectedby lagnalord Saturn. In chart numberX Jupiteris exalted,but the Moon(1Oth lord) is veryweak. Conclusion Bothwill get fame, wealth and name.But in the chart lX the nativewill get a fame which is immortaland ever increasing. He will be known as generous,fatherly personality, who was a scholarand YUGPURUSHA.But in case of chartX, the resultscannot be thesame, as the 1Othlord is weak.This will mostly depend upon the orderof dashas. (vii) Thisyoga can be 12x4= 48 types.From Moon's positionir; each sign it canbe 117,114,1/10and both in the samesign. The effectsof eachyoga (allthe 48 types)will not be the same.Moon is strongin two signs(Taurus and Cancer), Jupiter is strong in three Cancer,Sagittarius and Pisces.Moon is weakin Scorpioand Jupiter is weakin Capricorn.The resultsof thisyoga will differaccordingly. ln theabove two illustrations in first case this yoga is afflictedby Saturn andthe Moonthough heading near the Sun but of 1Othtithi & is exalted,so not weak.ln the secondcase the Moonhas just come out of combustion,and approaching debiliation is not strongas well as positedwith Venus (lord of the sign,a beneficwhich is good) and Mars (a malefic) which is bad. lt may be understoodthat the resultswill be moreauspicious in caseswhere bothJupiter and Moon are well posited and will go cn decreasingin the reverseposition. ln case wherethe Moonis weak,combust and also afflicted,the effectmay be nil also. Predictive Astrology

13.5(6) ChandraMangala Yoga (i) lf Marsand Moonare posited in thesame rashi - the native will have earnings through unscrupulousmeans, will be a sellerof women, willtreat mother harshly and will do mischiefto her and alsowith other relatives. (ii) Dr B V Raman in his book "Three Hundred combinations"reiterates that this yoga acts as a powerful one and the nativeacquires his financialworth. He may be doing business connectedwith beer, bar etc. lf Marsand Moon are well disposedthe earrringswill be from respectablemeans. Say if Moonand Mars are . positedin Taurus,Capricorn, Aries or Scorpio . and if thereis aspectof benefics,the results describedabove in (i) may not be the same. The results will be depending upon their positionin favourableor unfavourablehouses, and also uponthe dasha.The good and bad resultsof suchyoga are seenacccording to the lordof dasha. (iii) In the chartX the Moonand Marsare posited together,both are not well posited(neitherin own house nor strong) but posited with a beneficVenus (lagna lord) and has Jupiterin 1Othf romthem (Moon and Mars).The readers can testthe resultson casesknown to them.

13.5(5) ChandradhiYoga (i) Whenthere are benefics posited in 8th,6th and 7th f rom the Moon- there is AdhiYoga. The nativewho has thjs yogain the birthchart willbecome King or Ministeror chiefof an army. - Parashara Predictive Astrology

(ii) Accordingto Jataka Parijata the native born underthis yoga is likelyto be heaf,of policeor Army,a Ministeror Ruler.He will be at the heightof prosperityand pleasure, will overcome his foes and live long.He will be very litile exposedto diseasesand dangers. Nofe;Chartlll (Smt. IndiraGandhi) and Chart lV (MorarjiDesai) have this yoga.ln case of Shri Morarji,the Sun is in oppositionto the Moon. (iii) lt is also viewedby learnedastrologers that if the Sun is in oppositionto the Moon,the effects of the yogawill be minimised. (iv) Bhattotpalahas quotedfrom the Srutakeerti, the followingseven types of Adhi yogas- The threebenefic planets(Mercury, Jupiter, Venus) are placedin 6th,7th and 8th from Moon (a) Occupy6th, 7th and 8th (allthree) (b) Occupy6th and 7th (c) Occupy6th and 8th (d) Occupy7th and 8th (e) Occupy7th only (f) Occupy8th only (g) Occupy6th only (v) The yoga will be fruitful and strong if the benefics in 6th, 7th and 8th are superior, mediumor ordinaryin strengthas described by Badarayanaand Parashara.According to Phaladeepikathey will give results,if they are noteclipsed and alsonot aspected by malefics. (vi) lf thereare malefics in 6th,7th and 8th houses from Moon it will be called Papadhiyoga, lsee horoscope of Mrs. lndira Gandhi in para PredictiveAstrologY

13.5(2)(iii)land may give adverseresults. lf there are beneficsin 6th, 7th and 8th it will be classified as SubhadhiYoga. In Chart lX (Dr.B V Raman)in para13.5(5)vi' there is Chandradhiyoga becauseJupiter is positedin 7th housefrom the Moon.Also see the Chart Vll in para 13.5(a)(iv)the yoga is formedby the presenceof Jupiterin 6th (Leo)' Sun, Mercury,Mars in 7th (Virgo,land Venusin 8th (Libra). No singleyoga is capableof givingcomplete results,unless, the yoga is very strong a.nd dasha of the planet(which is strong)involved in the yoga is there. It is betterto analysisthe birht chart in its totalitybefore giving any predicitionon the basis of a yoga.

13.5(8) AmalaYoga (i) lf thereis a benefic(only) in the 1Othhouse f rom lagnaor the Moon - thereexists Amala yoga. The nativehaving this yoga in the birth chart willbe honouredby the king(government), will enjoymuch comforts and pleasures. He willbe interestedin givingcharities, fond of relatives, will be helpfulto othersand will be piousand virtuous. - Parashara (ii) lf there is alsoa malefic withthe benefic in the 1Othhouse, the effect of the yoga will be blemished.lf there is a strongbenefic in the 1Othhouse the nativewilll get lasting fame and name. (iii) Accordingto Phaladeepikaalso, the yoga is 290 Predictive Astrology

formedwhen there is a beneficplanet in the 1Othhouse f romlagna or the Moon.The native will be virtuous,he will havefaith in religion, will be very happy,fortunate, will be honoured by the king,have an amiablenature, and will alwayshave a smile on his face. In both the chartsillustrated in 13.5(5)(vi),there is Jupiter in the 1Othhouse f rom lagna.In the second caseit is far strongeras Jupiteris exaltedand alsoin 1Othf romlagna as wellas Moon. Thus all qualitiesdescribed for this yoga are presentin these cases.Though they have not beenhonoured by the king (government),but they are beingvisited by Ministersand high rankingofficials of the government.They both, are respectedbecause of their successful predictions.

13.11 (3) lt is observedfrom the earlierdiscussion in para13.11(1 to 2) thatthelords of 6th,8thor 12th i{ positedin each other'ssign are generallycausing disease,miseries etc. to the native.The positionsof 6th lordin 8th,8th lordin 6th,6th lordin 12th,12th lord in 6th,8th lord in 12thor 12thlord in 8th give Vipreet Rajayoga. : VipreetRajayoga is a yogawhich gives results whichwere otherwisenot expected(evil effects are expectedfrom these houses and their lords) from that yoga, because of their certain positionsin the horoscope. 'lf certaincombinations of planetswas to give resultsof a Rajayoga,but due to some factorsthat yogais defunct,we sayRajayoga bhang or cancellation Predictive Astrology 313

of Rajayoga.But whencertain position of the planet was to give bad resultand due to placementof that planetin the chart that yoga is not in a positionto give inauspiciousresults, will be called Vipreet Rajayoga. In chartlV in para13.5(2) of Shri.Morarji Desai, the 12thlord Venus is in 8th and alsolord of 6th Mars is in the eighth.These lords of 6th and 12th have causedtwo VIPREETRAJYOGAS. The readersmay referto variousdiscussion made on the basis of versionof classicaltexts. For interpretationpurposes, we cannottake it as it is.We haveto analysethe completehoroscope. The associationof Mercury( | and lV lord)and aspect of exaltedJupiter (7th and 1Othlord) are also to be considered.Venus is 12thas wellas Sthlord, involved in exchange with the 8th lord Saturn (causing exchangeof Sthand 8th lord). Literarily,the VIPREETRAJAYOGA can be said to be formedby positionof 6th, 7th and 8th lords in the housesof each other eitherjointly, severally or inter exchanginghouses. This is definedas "giving good results".But the correctmethod would be to study the positionof these planetsin detail with a openmind.

13.11 (5) The reasoningbehind this i: that when the inauspiciousplanet is weak,the unfavourable resultwill be less or reduced,because the planetis not strongenough to givehis f ull effect. The bad planetin a bad bhavawill lose its bad effectsand alsospoil the badeffects of the concerned bad bhava,in which it is Posited. lf theyare crippled,the evileffect vanishes and prosperitydawns on the native. ' Theestablished principle of Astrologyis thatthe lord of 6th, 8th and 12th badly affectsthe houses whereverthey are posited. To be observed:lf lordsof 6th, 8th and 12th if positedin enemy'shouse, or debilitatedor combust will alsogive resultsof VipreetRajayoga.

13.11 (6) As givenin PhaladeePika: The exchangeof theirsigns by 6th, 8th or 12thlord, with lordof othereleven houses will not giveRajayoga but will causeDainya Yoga. This makesclear that the positionof the lords of 6th,8thor 12thhouse in eachother's sign will give Rajayogaand not the exchangeof placeswith other lords.(Shloka 32/yogaadhYa) Predictive Astrology 315

The nativewas runningthe periodof Mercury- Venus- Mercury,(till August 28, 1983)when it was predictedto himthat the "tide" would turn in hisfavour in an unexpectedway. The predictionwas given 316 Predictive Astrology becauseof two Vipreet Rajayogas- 6th lord Venus in the 12th,the 8th lord Jupiterin the 6th, both aspectingeach other.The Mahadahsa was of Mercury positedin lagna(yogakaraka and forming Rajayoga with the Sun, the lord of 4th) Antaraof Venus(Vipreet Rajayoga)lord of 1st and6th and pratyantarof Mercury, Thetrouble started in Mercury-Venus - Saturn (October23, 1982to April4, 1983). The Mahadasha Nathand PratyantarDashanath both yogakarka and also strongly posited in lagna and 5th house respectively.But the nativehad to sufferset back. Herethe Venus (Vipreet Rajayoga planet) did not give favourableresults, though Venus is alsolord of lagna. It can easilybe said thatVenus being lord of 6th (a houseof quarrel)created trouble. The damagewill be repairedbecause Venus being lagna lord is both kendraand trikonalord. VipreetRajayoga can be understoodas reversing the presentposition, not permanentlybad because two yoga karkaplanets and lagnalord are involved. We cannot forgetthe positionof Mahadasha/ Antardasha/Pratyantardasha f rom each other. Mercuryhas Venus in 12th(a houseof exitor change or transfer),Venus is in 8th from Saturnand Saturn is in 6th from Venus (Causing6th/8th position say Sadashtak).6/8 positioncauses trouble,but the planetsinvolved were all yogakarka saved the native from a permanentdamage. lt can not be said that only VipreetRajayoga saved him. The retrogression of Saturnis also to be considered.

The fall of Mr. Morarji Desai from Prime Ministership(became P.M. on 24-3-77) will be between July 11 to 17, 1979 was predicted.He resignedon 1sth July,1979.The dasha period was Mercury- Venus- Jupiter,May 7,1979 to September 23, 1979,Moon Sookshma f rom July 11 to 22, 1979. Thereare VipreetRaja yoga as under: (i) Venuslord of 12thin 8th.(Venus is Sthlord also) (ii) Marslord of 6th in 8th.(also lord of 11th) (iii) Venusand Marsare together,with lagnalord. Hereagain a pointis to be seenthat the Vipreet Rajayogaformed by the planetswhich happensto be lord of the Sth and 12th (Venus),the lord of 6th and 11th(Mars) and both are positedwith another auspiciousplanet Mercury which is the lordof lagna (a kendraand trikonalord). lt is also an astrological principlethat wheneverthere is associationof lagna 318 Predictive Astrology lordwith any bhavaor planets,they derivestrength. Herethe 8th houseis strong(Longevity - Morarjiis long lived),the Rajayoga(Mercury - Venus),the associationof Mars- Venus- Mercury.Over all, here the mostbenefic planet Jupiter is aspectingthis bhava from an exaltationsign (givingcombination of 7th, 1Othlord Jupiter and I and lV lordMercury and joined by Sth lordVenus). The dasha was of Mercury (lagna lord associatedwith Venusforming Rajayogaand also associationof lord of 11th house),antardasha of Venus (the Sth lord, associatedwith Mercurythe lagnaand 4th lord,again retrograde Jupiter posited in 2nd aspectingVenus, Mercury etc. alsoforming Rajayogainvolving 7th and 1Othhouse too). So Mercury/Ketu/Mars(all in shadastaka)make him PrimeMinister it cannotbe saidthat only Vipreet Rajayogagave this goodeffect and also bad during Mercury/Venus/Jupiterwhen he resigned.The detaileddiscussion on the happeningol this event will be discussedin someother book.

has describedthem, to enhancethe evileffects. Whe reas Ph a I ad e e p ika and Utta ra kal a m r it a have giventhis a name- VipreetRajayoga. For discussionit is enoughto treat it as Vipreet Rajayogaand inferthat VipreetRajayoga will giveauspicious results to the native. Accordingto Dr.B.V. Raman these furnishus a cluehow the lordsof Dusthanas by occupyingDusthanas can overcomethe evil due to such malefic ownership.ln actual practice,the very pleasantresults ascribed, givecontrary results. Therefore,in interpretingthese three yogas the astorlogersshould take the evil natureof the lordsof evilhouses too intoconsideration.

Note:

(1) Ghatikalagna Ghatikalagna changeswith everyGhati (24 minutes)counted f romsunrise. This can be calculated as under: (i) Notethe birthtime in Ghatiand Vighatis. (ii) Considerthe Ghatispast as numberof rashis or Ghatilagna. The Vighatis divided by 2 will givedegrees and minutes. (iii) The productso arrivedin rashi,degrees and minutesbe addedto the longitudeof Sun as at sunrise. The exactGhatika lagna will be found. Example - Birthtime = 30ghatiand 30 Pal(vighati) Sunrise = S.40A.M. Sun'slongitude = 5'12o0' 30 ghatis+12 = 6 rashis 30 Pals(Vighatis) + 2 = 15i.e. 15 degree thus note 6 = signsor rashis15' andadd it to longitudeof Sun at sunrise: (i) 6x30 = 180'+15" = 195' (ii) 5x30 = 150'+12o = 162" Add the two 195'+162"= 357"+30 = 11"27"0' Ghatikalagna is Pisces27 degrees. (2) Hora Lagna This lagna changes after 21/zGhatis (60 minut-bsor PredictiveAstrologY one hour)f romsunrise. lt can be calculatedas under: Differencebetween birth time and time of sunrisemay be dividedby 2Vzand the quotientin signs,degrees may be addedto the longitudeof the Sun.This will giveHora Lagna. Example - (i) Birtht.ime = 30 Ghati30 Pal (ii) Sun'slongitude = 5'12"10' (iii) Birthtime in Ghatiand Palwhich is afterSunrise, so deductionof time of sunriseis not required' (iv) Birthtime + 2/z or 30.5+ 2.5 = 12.5or 12'5"0'. (v) Addto the longitudeof Sun= 5'12"10'+12'5o0' = 5"17"1 0' (vi) Horalagna = 5"17"10' Nofe:Thefigure arrived at (iv)i.e. difference between sunrise& birthtime, should be addedto the longitudeof the Sun, if lagnais of odd rasi (sign),otherwise to the longitudeof lagna'Here the simple methodto calculateHora lagna is illustrated.

C (i) lf the sameplanet is positedor aspecting lagna in all the shadvargas(Rasi, Hora, ,Trimshamsha, Navamsha and Dwadshamsha)a Rajayogais formed withoutdoubt. (ii) lf beneficsare positedin lagna,2nd and 4th whilea maleficis in the 3rd,the native will be a kingor equalto a king' (iii) lf the 6th,8th and the 3rd are occupiedby debilitatedplanets, the lagnalord is exalted or is in own houseand aspectsthe lagna - causesRajaYoga 324 Predictive Astrology

(iv) The positionof 1Othlord in his ownhouse , or in exaltation,aspects the lagna,there will be a Rajayoga. (v) lf one of the 6th,8th and 12thlords being in debilitation aspects the lagna - a Rajayogawill be caused. (vi) lf the 4th lordis in the 10thand 10thlord is in the 4th,the lordsof 5th and9th aspect the 4th and 10thlords. The nativewill attain kingdom. (vii) lf sth lord is positedin lagna,the 4th or 1Othlord with 9th lordor with lagnalord - the nativewill becomea king. (viii)The Moon and Venusare in 3rd and 11th or aspects each other, a Rajayogais formed. (ix) (a) lf one or two or three planetsbe in exaltation,the nativewill be wealthy, like a king or become a king respectively,if the nativehas taken birth in royal family. (b) lf five planetsin exaltation,even the nativeborn in a lowfamily will become a king

(These all togetherposited in different situationwill make 16 RajaYogas) (ii) lf lagnaor Moonis Vargottam(when the planet is in the samesign in navamshaalso in which that planetis positedin lagna)and aspected by five oFSiX planets, other than Moon, will makethe nativea king. (iii) lf the lagnahas exalted Sun (Aries lagna) along with Moon,the nativebecomes ruler' Predictive Astrology

13.12 (5) There are hundredsof yogasdescribed by sagesin varioustext books.After readingthese yogas an observationcomes to the fore that the strongposition of planets,lagna, luminaries and their connectionwith kendra,trikona etc, givethe results of Rajayoga.. In thosedays, these yogas were usefulfor the predictiongiven to the kings.Today the meaningof Rajayogacannot be interpretedthat they will make Predictive Astrology 327 the nativea king.These yogas, in the modernage of democracy,can meanthat the nativewill be conferred witha highposition in Government.He tnaybecome M.P., Minister,Governor, Chief Minister,Prime Ministeretc. lf the Rajayogaplanets are closelyconnected with the Sun and the Moon,political power may be the result.lf yoga is connectedwith Mars,the native maybecome a dictator,or a highranking army officer or a commander-in-chief.Therefore, a thoroughstudy of planetaryposition and analysisof horoscopein detailcan helpto find the resultsof any yoga.

13.'12(6) The Rajayogasformed by Kendra and Trikonalords can be as under- LAGNALORD A (i) Lord of lagnaand lord of 4th. (ii) Lord of lagnaand lord of 7th. (iii) Lord of lagna and lord of 1Oth(strongest kendra). (iv) Lord of lagnaand lord of Sth. (v) Lord of lagna and lord of 9th(strongest trikona). (vi) The above Raja yogas can be in the followingthree forms:- (a) Lagna lord and kendralord posited togetherin kendraor trikona. '(b) Lagna lord and trikonalord posited togetherin kendraor trikona' (c) The lagnalord has exchanged houses with kendraor trikonalord. (d) Thereis mutualaspect between lagna Predictive Astrology

lordand the lordsof kendraor trikona. (e) Lagnalord together with the lordsof kendraor trikonaor both positedin lagna,kendra or trikona. FOURTHLORD B (i) The 4th lordposited with 5th lord. (ii) The 4th lordposited with 9th lord. (iii) Exchangeof placesby 4th with 5th or 9th lord. (iv) 4th lord in Sthor 9th house. The abovewill be strongRajayogas.

13.12 (7) RajabhangaYoga There are yogas which will cause cancellationof Rajayogas.Some of theseyogas are given below for generalinformation of the readers: (i) Jupiter in debilitation.Those planets in debilitationwhile one such planetis in 2nd house and a malefic in 1Othhouse, destroys Rajayogas. (ii) ln the above(i) situation,if thereis no planet in exaltation. (iii) Weak Moon in the last degreesof a sign. (iv) lf the Moon,lagna or bothare not aspectedbe any planet. (v) lf there is no planetin kendrasthanas. (vi) The Sun in debilitationdestroys all Rajayogas. (vii) Debilitatedplanet in lagnaand a malefic in 1Oth house. We can conclude that the strong position of Jupiter (important for steady and healthy progress, peace and tranquility), Sun and Moon (powers), Venus (Rajasic, a karaka for worldly pleasures and comforts)and the 11thhouse is a must for a powertul Rajayoga to give auspicious and full results.

GENERALJUDGEMENT OF HOROSCOPE

14.1 Meaningof Judgement This is a topic which will help us to apply our knowledgeobtained after reading the earlierthirteen chapters.By judgementwe meanto form an opinion regardingthe strengthof the horoscopeor we can 'a-ytn"favourabIeandunfavourableindications shownby the birth chart of the native.In the words of Dr. Raman:- "ln the judgementof a horoscopean astrologer will come acrossmany a pit fall. Each housedeals with differentsignifications and the same set of combinationsobtaining in a particularhouse might influencethe differentsignifications comprehended by the house, in differentwaYS""

14.2 ASTROLOGYA SUPERSCIENCE Astronomyand MathematicalAstrology are scienceswhich help us to erect the birth chart, to find dashabalance at birth,different vargas, Ashtaka vargas etc. Predictivepart of Astrologyis a super sciJnceof qcienceswhich helps us to read out the effectoftheseplanetarycombinations.Without Predictive Astrology seeingthe face of the nativeor knowingabout him or hisfamily background, his past,present and future events can be predicted. lf there is failure of predictionthe astrologeris blamedwho in turnblames the nativefor furnishingwrong data to him.This is nothingbut an exerciseof passingon the buck to some one else. Results depend upon honestY The sages have give;r many tools to test the authenticity(correctness) of the datafurnished. Some of these have been discussedin the chapter on "Rectificationof birth charf".An astrologermust follow . the instructionsgiven by Parasharain his book.lf he does so the chancesof committingmistakes should be le'ss,or if he commitsa mistakehe willaccept his failure honestly and with courage.Sincerety of purposeis essential.

14.3 SUCCESSOF PREDICITIONDEPENDS UPON GOD'S GRACE The preparationof the chart,vargas, calculation of dashasetc. and properanalysis of the chart are all in the hands of an astrologer.There is something beyondthe reach of human beingswhich is called kripa (graceof God) which helps in givingaccurate prediction.The astrologeris simplya messengerof God. He is called Daivagyabecause he knows how to tell past,present and futureof a nativeor nation. The native,before he approachesan astrologerfor prediction,should pray to his deityor Godor his own lshta ()qnd requestHim that the astrologer to whom he is goingto visit may be ableto tell him abouthis futureor enlightenhim to see how far the nativecan mould his f utureevents or whatwill happen to the problemfaced bY him. Predictive Astrology

14.4 Thereare four elements (def in the horoscope i.e. Fire,Earth, Air and Waterbut five elementsin humanbody. Aakash (Ether) element is missingin the birthchart.

Thirdly,he should not utter degradingwords aboutany otherastrologer. An astrologeris calleda 'Daivagya',which meansone who knowsthe future or destiny.He is likea'Daiva'.'Daiva', has no reason to utter bad words aboutother Daiva.The desires, anger and greedinessare disastrousand are the gates of hell for an astrologers.These should be shunned.An astrologershould be polite,honest, courteous, truthful, sympathetic, social and approachableto the peoplein troubleetc. Bfui T{6-i{E grq qRrq.qrflq: 1 o.FT:drtrwarT drrcaqrioq *ti tqdq n Gita 16-21

14.6 JUDGEMENTOF HOROSCOPES Due to the graceof greatastrologer late Shri M.S. Sitharamiah,whom I haveheard while doing judgement of horoscopesand my 'Guru'who has taughtme astrology,blessings and benevolenceof my parents and kindnessof God, I havelearnt some methods, or a techniquedeveloped in me to analysethe horoscopes.This part of Astrologyis the mostdifficult one. My lectures have been appreciatedby the studentsand audience.Hence these books are before the readers.The predictioncan be givenonly after properjudgement of the horoscopeand afteranalysis of the planetarycombinations is carriedout. As a studentof astrologyI will try to explainthe proper methodto do analysisand judgement of horoscopes. My failuresmay be ignoredtreating me a student. The appreciationfor the goodexpressions should be doneof my teachers.Here I will restrictmy discussion to give a hint. The defectsand mistakesmay be pointedout to me for correctingmyself.

The horoscopewhich have planetsin kendrais a stronghoroscope. lf theseplanets are benefic,it.is , all the better.The horoscopeis strongdue to benefics beingposited in kendraas wellthe beneifcsin kendra safeguardthe nativef rom all Arishtas.lf maleficsare posited in kendra, they also strengthen the horoscope.The positionof both maleficand benefic planetstogether give mixed results. - (ii)' Now check the positionof trikonasthanas.lf occupied,the native'schart is capableof giving favourableresults. The horoscopehas strength. (iii) Gheckthe yogas and Rajayogaspresent in the chart. (iv) The awasthasof Planets. (U) The dasha balance at birth, and the order of the dashaswhich the nativeis supposedto get duringhis lifetime. 14.6 (2) MethodologYof Judgement R6sition of Bhavas and their significations: t Each bhava of the horoscoperepresent many things.The fourthhouse signifies mother, conveyance, houseproperties, etc. The astrologerwill haveto find out the proper indicationsfor any one of these.The PredictiveAstrology studyof the followingwill help us to findwhich one of the significatorsof a particularbhava is effective at a particularPoint of time. (i) Analysis of the first house Analysethe positionof lagna, lagna lord and the Moon- (a) lf all the three are well posited,aspected by beneficsand auspiciousplanets, the nativewill havesound health. (b) lf anyone of themis afflicted,some problem can be there. (c) lf two of them are afflicted,may be having weak health. (d) lf all the three are afflicted,the native is very much exPosed. (e) In case all the three are afflictedwe may also analysethe positionof the Sun, to arriveat f inal positionabout the health. (ii) Analysis of the fourth house The analysisof all the twelvebahvas should be done in the same way as describedhere. Let us take anotherexamPle of the 4th house- (a) lf the lord of the 4th house and the fourth house(bhava) both are well posited,there will be happinessin the family,happiness from mother,the native will have land, property,vehicles and good educationetc' lf there is afflictionthe results will be reversed.lf the lord of the 4th is weak, combust, debilitated and afflicted- by malefics,all significations of the 4th house will be badlYafflicted. Predictive Astrology

Karakashelp to differentiatethe effect of 'beplanets on the housei.e. the bad results will in respectof which event of life or in respectof whatthing. (b) Underthe abovecircumstances, there is a great problembefore us. Had there been beneficeffects or auspiciousplanets were positedwith the 4th lord and also in the fourth house,it could be easilypredicted for good education,availability of house, vehicles, happinessfrom motheretc. In case of an affliction,should an astrologer predictbad for mother'shealth, education, disturbancesin the familyor the health problemof the native,loss of propertyor an accidentor what ? In suchsituation we need the help of karakas,The karakasfor the 4th houseare - (i) Moon Mother (ii) Venus House,Vehicle (iii) Mercury- Education (c) Say there is afflictionto Moon.We can easilysay trouble to motheror to the health of the native.Here also the learnedsages have advisedto studythe followingpoints to havedeep analysis - (i) See 4th from 4th (i.e.8th house) (Principleof "BhavatBhavam" W W), (ii) Study4th housefrom the Moon. lf both these also indicatesimilar results, the predicitionabout the mothercan be givenaccordingly. Predictive AstrologY

(d) To makethe predictionfool proof,the Sages have devised divisional charts. In the prdsentcase understudy we needto study -the DwadashamshaChart. ' lf in allthe casesf rom(a) to (d) a similarposition is indicated,the predicitongiven will be accurateone. 14.7 USE OF DASHASINTHE JUDGEMENTOF HOROSCOPE Afterjudgement of the horoscopeor afteranalysing the positionof all the twelve bhavas in a similar -manneras discussedin para 14.6,the astrologeris to study the dasha order. dashai.e. the Mahadashaand Antardasha ' The runningwill indicatethe eventslikely to happenduring that particualrperiod. lf thereare powerfulRai4rogas presentin the birth chart, but the dasha period of the planetsinvolved in the Rajayogadoes not come during the life of the native,there will not be full resultsavailable to the native for that particular Rajayoga.Similar will be the case if there is any Arishtayoga. Unlessthere is a dashaof the planet involvedin any Arishtayoga or Rajayoga,the native will neithersuffer nor enioyon accountof suchyogas. There will be minorperiods of Antardasha'of the planetsinvolved in Rajayogawhich will givesome effectsof these yogas.

(b) Saturn, the lord of 7th and 8th being retrograde,aspects Sun and Mercuryby the 1Othaspect (treating Saturn in Pisces).The' retrogradeplanet is treated to give effect of the previous house also. This means the combinationof Sun (2nd lord),Mercury (3rd and 12th House)is also affectedby the 1Oth aspect of Saturn (the lord of 7th and 8th house).The positionis not favourable.Saturn is enemyof Sun,the lord ol 2nd (finances).

Much depends upon the dashahe getsduring that particular period. The nativecould pass BA in 1962,during the Mahadashaof Mercury(which is not a good planet Predictive Astrology for Cancerlagna). He joinedsome private iob in May 1962,immediately after graduation, These incidents approvethe discussionmade by us in preceeding paras.

14.8 (7) (a) As regards 6th house, we have already coveredthe discussion,while describingthe 2nd houseposition. No use of repetition. (b) Seventh house and its lord : The 7th lord positedin the 1Oth(Karamsthana), the 7th has Venus(Karako Bhavanashaha i.e. the Karaka (signigicator)of any bhava,if positedin that bhava,the good effectsare spoiled),there is aspectof Jupiteron the 7th house.There is also connectionof Jupiterwith Saturn(which is alreadyshown in para 14.8 (6) and also ' evidentf rom discussionin preceedingparas), - apparentlyshows that there is no connection between the 7th lord and the 9th lord, but becauseof retrogressionSaturn establishes connectionwith lagnalord and Mars(5th and 1Othlord), 1Oth house, 9th houseand 9th lord, 4th houseand 4th lord,aspecting own house (7th)and also with the Sth houseand lord of the Sthhouse Mars.

14.8 (8) Eighth house and its lord The 8th lord is againSaturn. The positionof Saturn in 1Oth(a strongestkendra) is very good.No aspect' Thereare malefics andbenef ics bothin 2nd and 12th houses.Which is againgood. The positionof Ketuin the 8th not good for healthand maritalhappiness. The positionof lagnalord with Marsand Saturn(R) with no beneficaspect is againvery bad.Only the aspectof Venus on lagna is a beneficaspect. We have already discussedthe healthaspect while discussingabout lagna. The 8th houseis houseof longevity.The positionof Saturnand Venus a benefic in kendra,promises good longevity. The 8th lord in 1Othshows hindrancesor changesin profession.The lord of 1Othwith lagna lordin 9th.There will be changes,but all will be for betterfuture.

14.8 (9) Ninth houseand its lord We have alreadymade sufficientdiscussion about the 9th bhava.The repetitionis madein brief. The 9th househas lagnalord and Marsthe lord of l Othand Sth,a very goodposition' The lord of 9th Jupiteris in 11th(not bad), retrograde means strong and effectof Saturn(R)is also there.Mixed results are expected. Afflictionof malefics Marsand Saturn not good. Afflictionof retrogradeSaturn on Jupiterthe 9th lord againvery bad. There is Rajayogaof Marsand Moon, but due to these afflictions,the nativemay not get very good rise, unlesshe gets an auspiciousand yogakarakadasha at propertime. The resultswill be testedwhile discussing 1Oth house. The positionof 9th house treating it as lagna was discussedin 1a.8(2)(e),which shows a very goodposition for father. Predictive Astrology

The afflictionto 9th houseand the positionof 9th lord in enemy'shouse, aspected by Saturn, reducesihe gainsand comforts,help and company of father.Sun the karakafor father also ieceives aspectof Saturn,which shows tough time for father.

14.8 (10)Tenth house and its lord The tenrhlord Marsis positedin 9th with lagnalord. It has alreadybeen explainedin para 14.8(1).The connectionof 1Oth and 9th means Karma and Bhagya,Karma and Dharmaand a closerelation of the nativewith religion,he will have full faith on religionand will performreligious activities. He will havegreat regard for his fatherand will also respect seniorsin age.The relationbetween lord of Karma, Bhagyaand lagnalords shows the nativewill make hisfortune with his ownefforts and will not have much help from parents,because of afflictionsto the 9th house and 9th lord. The results will be more favourableif dashaof auspiciousplanets is there at the propertime. Professionof the Native Let us see the eventsconnected with profession. The analysisof 9th and 1Othhouse in relationto the dashaperiod of planetsconnected with these houses. lmportant events Dasha Period (i) The nativegot firstjob in Mercury/Jupiter May1962 (ii) Changeof job in Dec.,1962 Mercury/Saturn (iii) Changeto Govt.job Mercury/Saturn February5,1965 (iv) Changeof place,due to Venus/Rahu posting(transfer) to Delhi, July1980 to Sep.1986.

The strongposition of 10th lordcould give him allachievements. A question can be raisedthat above positiondoes not show the involvmentof Moon or Mars (causingRajayoga) and 9th lord Jupiter.The connectionbetween Jupiter and Saturn;Mars and. Moon; and Mercury and Sun has alreay been discussedin preceedingparas. The nativequalified departmentalexaminations during the sub periodsof Moon,Mars and Jupiterin the Mahadashaof Venus. The successin theseexaminations could only qualify him forthe promotions. 14.8 (11) Eleventhhouse and its lord (a) ln our discussionswe have coveredall the points, is no use of repeatingthe same. there 'lth lf a discussionis madeabout the 1 and 12th house,it will simplybe a repetitionof what is saidearlier. (b) The 11th housemeans gains, elder brother, 7th f rom Sthetc. The 11thlord is well posited in 7th,the financialprogress and gahs In life will be with the helpof wife.lt may also mean morethan onewife, because of the positionof 11th lord and karakaVenus, but the aspectof 7th lord Saturn and 9th lord Jupiterwill not permit more than one wife.The aspect of Jupiteralso controlsthe instinctin the native to have morethan one wife. Predictive Astrology

14.9 (12)Twelfth house and its lord The 12thlord Mercuryin 6th with lordof 2nd. 12th house receivesaspect of Mars and Saturn.The afflictionto 12thand 12thlord, may cause disturbance in sexlife. Generally it giveseither delay in marriage or problemsof adjustmentafter marriage. The aspect of Jupiteron 12thlord qnd Venus is againa saving from disaster.The marriige of the nativetook place very late,at the age of 29 years4 months. 14.9 DYNAMICCONFIGURATION Afterdoing the analysisas in precedingparas, the positionof otherfactors in the horoscopesare to be studied. (1) Lagna lord positedin Libra Navamshaand receives8th aspectof Mars,with no benefic aspect.Mars was also aff licting Moon in Rashi chart and there is affliction of Mars in Navamshatoo, whichis not goodfor health (2) The 5th lord Marsis Vargottam(means in the samesign in birthchart as wellas Navamsha qhart).In Navamsha,Jupiter, which is exalted, aspects Mars.The positionof Sth lord is improved.Hence the nativecould continue studies and qualify in three departmental . examinations. (3) The 7th lordSaturn, debilitated in birthchart is positedin maleficsign. In Navamshathe position has improvedby his position in Jupiter'ssign. In birth chart there was connection , of Jupiterwith Saturn (Jupiter being retrograde givingeffect of beingposited in Aries)and in NavamshaSaturn is positedin Jupiter'ssign. No aspectis on Saturn.The nativewill get an educatedand goodnatured wife. Predictive Astrology bsz

(4) The 9th lord Jupiterin Navamshais exalted and positedwith lagnalord of Navamsha.The positionis an improvedone. (5) The combinationof Sun and Mercurygives Budh-Adityayoga. The nativewill be wise, intelligentetc. and goodat Mathematics. (6) Marsconjoins Moon causing Yoga.This meansthe nativewill earn through unscruplousmeans, a sellerof women,treating motherharshly and doing mischief to her and other relatives. The differencein this yoga is that Moon is lagna lord and Mars is a yogakaraka(lord of Sthand 1Oth). The Moon is UCHCHABHILASHI (approachingexaltation) and also of Shukla Paksha(Bright Half). The yoga is formed in the 9th house.So the resultswill not be the sameas givenin classictests. The nativemay not havecordial relations with mother and also with his wife or he may be harshwith them. Butthere will be auspiciouseffect of this yoga. (7) Lagnadhi Yoga:The planetsposited in 6th, 7th and 8th fromlagna, the yogais formed.lf beneficplanets, a subha yoga or if malefic planetscause this yoga Ashubhayoga or if malefic& beneficboth, the resultswill be mixed. The personwill be politeand trust worthy, will havean enjoyableand happylife, surrounded by luxury and affluence, will defeat his enemies,will be healthyand will live long. ln the chartin questionthe yogais formedby maleficand beneficboth. (8) 'DhurDhuraYoga: There are planetson either Predictive Astrology

(10) Vipreet Rajayoga;The lord of 12th house Mercury is posited in 6th cause Vipreet Rajayoga. See para 14.8(10),the resultsof Mercury dashaenjoyed by the native. (11) Cancellation of Debilitation.' Saturn is the only planetwhich is debilitatedin the birth chart.There is cancellationof debilitation: (a) The lord of the sign, where Saturn is exaltedis positedin kendra(Venus in'the 7th fromlagna and 1Othfrom Saturn). (b) Sun who is exalted in Aries, is also positedin kendraf rom the Moonand in trikonaf rom Saturn. (c) The Saturnis alsoposited in kendraf rom lagna. Results: Referto para 14.8 (10).The nativegot very good resultsduring sub periodof Saturnin the Mahadasha of Mercury(involved in VipreetRajayoEa). The discussionmade in Chapter10 to 13 along with the discussionsmade in earlierchapters, if Predictive Astrology

understoodproperly, the presentdiscussion will be followedvery easily.Judgement of horoscopeis possibleonly after thorough understanding the basic principlesof Astrology.Secondly follow the method of analysisdescribed in this lessonstep by step.

The Medium,short and full life span can be found from the principleslaid down in tablein para11.12. For furtherestimate of longevity,a properanalysis of the planetrayposition and yogas etc. can helpus to knowthe increasbor decreasein the yearsof the lifespan. Whether it wouldbe beginningor middleor end of the span so foundor will it crossoverto other span. , tnthe example in para11.15, we haveseen that accordingto the principlesthe life span calculated as "Full"or "Purna"(which is about66 years).But . the analysisof the chartindicates as under: 1. Lagnais aspectedby the lagnalord (good), _: but no otherbenef ic aspect.The lagnalord is a malefic and alsothe lordof the eighthouse, positedin seventhhouse (Maraka sthana). This meansMars may not becomedirect Maraka, butwill cause damage according to its nature (accidentaldeath). 2. Lord of Lagna: Marsis positedin the house of Venus(not bad).The aspectof Saturn(R) on Marsis not good. 3. Karaka for life and health the Moon - The Moon is badlyafflicted, though aspected by Jupiter.Jupiter is also not very strongbeing positedin the signof Mercury,in sixthhouse and afflictedby Saturnand Rahu.Jupiter will PredictiveAstrology

alsobecome Maraka, being in 12thf rom lagna lord,in sixthfrom lagna,in seventhfrom the Moonand is alsolord of 12thhouse. 4. Karaka for First house the Sun - The Sun is positedin enemysign, with enemyVenus and afflictedby Mars. 5. 8th lordand 8th houseare afflictedby Saturn. 6. The third houseis aspectedby Saturn.The lord of third positedin friend'shouse, but aspectedby Saturn. 7. Saturn,the Karakafor longevityis strongbeing retrogradeand positedin friend'shouse. lt is good position.With Rahu, in 6th house, involvedin exchangeof 6th and 11th (both inauspicioushouses) and beinglord of sixth will prove helpless before Mercury (who happensto be Marakain thiscase.) Conclusion; Fromthe above(1 to 7) studyof the principle 11.11(1),indicates that the longevityis going to be reducedand not enhanced. 8. In thirdand eleventh,no maleficis positedand in 6th housetwo malefics and one benefic(not favourable). 9. Benefics in kendra -The beneficsin kendra increaseslongevity. The two malefics and one benefic(which happens to be Maraka)are in kendra. 10. 8th house, if owned by a malefic and'also aspectedby a malefic(not favourable). Conclusion : Noneof the principleslaid down in para11.11 are favourable for long life. 11. Gaj KesariYoga - Giveslong life. But this yoga is afflicted.The axis of theyoga is 6 and 12.The Predictive Astrology

resultscannot be very favourable.The span of lifecannot be shiftedf romMadhya to Purna, rathercan pose dangerto the full life span (para1 1.15) of MadhyaAYu. 12. The reductionfrom PurnaAyu to MadhyaAyu. is becauseof the followingreasons : (il The horoscopehas become accident prone (a) The afflictionof the Moon and lagna lord. (b) Mars positedin 8th housefrom the Moon (showsaccidental or sudden death). (c) No beneficin kendrafrom the lagna, onlyVenus is a benefic,but which is alsocombust. (d) Fromthe Moon,Jupiter, a beneficin kendra,but afflictedbY Saturn. (e) No benefic in the 8th house from lagna,Saturn gives malefic aspect on 8th house.(Saturn's position in 8th increasesthe longevity,but the aspect is not good). Conclusion : Wheneverthe bad transitand malefic planetsor inauspiciousplanets or Marakaplanet's dasha concides,there will be dangerto the life of the native.The nativedied during the Moon/Jupiter/ Mercuryperiod. (a) The Moon is positedin the 12th house,weak afflicted.The positionof the Moon in 12th is also not good. (b) Jupiter,being 9th lord during the Antaraof the Moonwill give good effect.

ANNEXUREV (Chapter13) Yogas Withoutthe help of yoga(support) a mancannot be successfulin lite. He maybe strong,learned and capablein all respects but without the help of some one, thegoal cannot be achieved. Man is a socialanimal. To keepthe bodystrong and in workablecondition one needsto do exerciseor yoga.To have the grace of God oneneeds yoga sadhna. There are social bindings. In astrology,the combination ofplanets give brightness to the resultsof planetryeffects. There are manybooks onastrological yogas but no where the comments about howthe yogas are formed ? Howmuch result that yogas willbe able to produce? Whenthese give their results? Whatare the reasonsbehind the formationof these yogas? The learnedreaders have to findthe answer on thebasis of theirresults given in theclassical texts withreference to the presenttime. Sages have given namesto theseyogas on the basisof resultsof these planetaryconfigurations found by them. Thereare manytypes of relationsbetween the plan' ets.Thisrelationship has been given the name of Yoga. Someof the relationsare : (r)Exchange of houses.Sometimes the planets exchangetheir signs such as the Sun in Aries and Mars in Leoor Jupiter in Aquarius and Saturn in Pisces. (r) Placementof planetsin samesign i.e.con- junction.Jupiter and Saturnin Piscesor Aquariusor theSun and Mars in Aries. Predictive Astrology (rl) Mutualaspects. One planet aspecting other planetand also aspected by the later.Jupiter in Aries andSaturn in Libraor Surrin Cancer and Mars in Cap- ricorn.(Samsaptam aspects). Mars aspecting from Pis- ces to Saturnin Geminiand Saturngiving tenth as- pectson Mars. (iv)Connection between the planetsbeing pos- itedin kendrafrom each other. As in (irr)above there is mutualaspects and also they are in kendrafrom each other. (v)Connection due to trikonaposition between the two planets. (rz)Single aspect. A planetaspecting other planet, butthe laterdoes not aspect the former. (vir) Sooksh ma (Relation)Sambandha. (a) Exchangeof Nakshatra.A planetbeing in the constellationof other planet, which in turn is in hiscon- stellation. (b) Exchangeof Navamsas.Two planets in each other'sNavamsha. Theabove combinations show that the planet gets strengthor supportfrom other planet provided they are notinimicalto each other. ln chapter13 the yogas formed from the Sun, the Moonand lagna together with few other yogas includ- ingRaja yogas formed due to relationshipof the lords of kendraand trikona have already been discussed. Somemore yogas, which are also found usefulto increasethe ability to makepredictions are discussed as under: Predictive AstrologY 1.lf a beneficplanet is in own house, friend's house, in mooltrikona,exalted and is positedin anyof the 12 bhavas,while the lordof the bhavais alsowell posited andstrong the following yogas are formed.
