Re-Defining Tajaka Varshaphal Charts (Annual Solar Return Charts) Om Gam Ganapataye Namah Om Rishibhyo Namah Om Sree Gurubhyo Namah Re-defining Tajaka Varshaphal Charts (Annual Solar Return Charts) P.V.R. Narasimha Rao June 15, 2014 (version 1) Warning : All copyrights are reserved with author. This article cannot be reproduced in any form in part or in full, without express permission from the author. Introduction Annual solar return charts based on Sun's return every year to his exact natal position are popular in Vedic and western astrology. Divisional charts of Tajaka varshaphal never worked with any consistency for this author with Lahiri ayanamsa. The discovery of Pushya-paksha ayanamsa and refinement of the definitions of some divisional charts based on an independent interpretation of Parasara and resulting experimentation, made divisional charts work reasonably well with Tithi Pravesha charts, but not with Tajaka varshaphal charts. When this author broke from tradition, went back to a teaching of Maharshi Parasara in “Vishnu Purana” on solar years and re-defined Tajaka varshaphal chart, divisional charts of Tajaka varshaphal started showing more consistent patterns. The new definition will be shared in this article with examples. Acknowledgment The basic idea of this research was inspired by a writing of Sri K.N. Rao, albeit in a different context. In his article “Jaimini Chara Dasa – My approach – 2” in “Journal of Astrology” (please see the internet link http://www.journalofastrology.com/article.php?article_id=317 ), he wrote in 2010 November that a particular pratyantardasa ended on Aug 17 th as per his calculations and on Aug 18 th as per “Jagannatha Hora” software. He showed that his calculation explained the event better. Being also the author of the software in question, this author took a look into the dicrepancy. He noticed that Sri K.N. Rao was using mean tropical solar year (365.242 days), while the default dasa year definition in the software (which can be changed by the users) was true sidereal solar year (365.256 days). The gap accumulates every year and can change dasa dates by a day as one gets older! This made the author think of Tajaka varshaphal charts. Traditionally, they are are based on sidereal solar year (i.e. Sun returning every year to his natal position in the sidereal zodiac). This author questioned it and experimented. That is how this research started. Solar Calendar A solar year is of 365.242 days (tropical) or 365.256 days (sidereal). Tropical solar year is the time period in which Sun traverses the tropical zodiac once. Sidereal solar year is the time period in which Sun traverses the sidereal zodiac once. For casting the varshaphal chart every year, astrologers now-a-days use sidereal solar year, i.e. they find when Sun returns to his natal sidereal longitude. However, this is inconsistent with the teachings of Maharshi Parasara to Maitreya in “Vishnu Purana” chapter 2.8 . Maharshi Pararsara taught Maitreya that a solar year consists of 2 ayanas and that each ayana consists of 3 ritus (seasons). This link to seasons clearly points to tropical zodiac. A solar year based on tropical zodiac ( i.e. the time Sun takes to complete exactly one rotation around the tropical zodiac) is tied to seasons. For example, when Sun enters tropical Aries, day and night are of equal length and it is spring. When Sun enters tropical Cancer, day is the longest and it is summer (in northern hemisphere). When Sun enters tropical Libra, day and night are of equal length and it is autumn. When Sun enters tropical Capricorn, day is the shortest and it is winter (in northern hemisphere). If we take the sidereal zodiac, it is not tied to seasons. When Sun enters sidereal Aries every year, he will be in the vicinity of particular stars associated with sidereal Aries, but the season changes over the years! Not stopping at that, Maharshi Parasara explicitly taught Maitreya that Uttarayana starts when Sun enters Capricorn and the day length is the smallest then. When Uttarayana ends, Sun leaves Gemini and enters Cancer and the day is is the longest then. That makes it obvious that Pararsara is referring to tropical signs here! Sidereal vs Tropical Zodiac As mentioned above, Maharshi Parasara clearly used tropical zodiac when defining solar years in “Vishnu Purana”. When teaching divisional charts in “Brihat Parasara Hora Sastram”, he taught how nakshatras are aligned to rasis and how navamsas map to quarters of naksatras. So he used sidereal zodiac there. This author's conclusion is that both tropical and sidereal zodiacs are needed: • Sidereal zodiac: Used for all matters related to space , i.e. definition of rasi chart and divisional charts • Tropical zodiac: Used for all matters related to time , i.e. definition of months, seasons, ayanas and years. Tajaka Varshaphal Definition Tajaka varshaphal chart is cast every year when Sun is exactly at the same tropical longitude as at birth. Judgment A Tajaka varshaphal chart can be judged just like the natal chart, except that it is effective for just one year. Rasi chart can be used along with all divisional charts. One need not use various Tajaka methods for judging this chart and can use standard Vedic astrology methods in rasi and divisional charts. Rasi Chart vs Divisional Charts : Rasi chart is like a combination of all floormaps of all floors in a multi-storey building, while divisional charts are like different floors. If the northeast corner has something in the combined floormap, it may be in any floor. Similarly, if the 5 th house is strong in rasi chart, it may show childbirth, promotion in job, academic distinction, successful mantra sadhana etc and we can check the 5 th house in D-7, D- 10, D-24, D-20 etc (respectively) for further insights. Indications in rasi chart may be weak, but have to be strong in the corresponding divisional chart. The writeup “Unified Nakshatra Dasa Approach” at http://www.vedicastrologer.org/articles defines a method of picking the best nakshatra dasa in a chart. This works well in natal charts and Tithi Pravesha charts, but does not work well in Tajaka varshaphal charts. This author has not yet found a dasa system that works reliably. Replicating Calculations You can download “Jagannatha Hora” software from http://www.VedicAstrologer.org/jh and select Pushya- paksha ayanamsa. In addition, you will need to set some divisional chart calculation options to follow this write-up. Some divisional charts are computed incorrectly by people now-a-days. In the main menu of “Jagannatha Hora” software (version 7.67 or higher), you can select “Preferences”, “Related to Calculations” and “Set Calculation Options as recommended by author”, to set divisional chart calculations as used in this write-up. Comparison We will see a few examples that contrast: (a) The old definition (return to natal sidereal longitude), Lahiri ayanamsa & standard definitions of divisionsl charts (b) The new definition (return to natal tropical longitude), Pushya-paksha ayanamsa & reformed definitions of divisional charts Example 1: Academic Distinction Birthdata : 1970 April 4, 5:50:40 pm (IST), Machilipatnam, India (81e08, 16n10) Event : He stood first in his state in 12 th grade exams with a record score in May 1987 and also got admission to Indian Institute of Technology. Education is seen from siddhamsa (D-24) chart. Rasi & D-24 charts with the 2 approaches above are shown below. In the old rasi chart, the 5 th house is not particularly strong, with 4 th and 11 th lord Mars in it. But lagna lord aspects 5 th and 5 th lord is with 9 th lord. There are some signs, but not strong. In the old D-24 chart, the 5 th house of distinction and recognition contains nodes. The 5 th lord Mercury aspects the 5 th house, but he is debilitated. Lagna lord is weak in an adhisatru rasi. Overall, the chart does not strongly explain academic distinction. In the new rasi chart, lagna lord is in 5 th with 9 th lord and gives a raja yoga. That 5 th lord and yogakaraka Saturn has 79% aspect on 5 th house. The 5 th house is quite strong. In the new D-24 chart, the lagna lord Jupiter is exalted in the 5 th house and that is a clear combination for academic success, recognition and fame. Lord Moon is also placed in a mitra rasi. A functional benefic in the 8 th house gives sudden results of a beneficial nature. Example 2: Childbirth Birthdata : 1970 October 5, 12:32:20 pm (IST), 80e21, 15n49 Event : He had a child in 2000 September. Saptamsa (D-7) chart shows progeny. Rasi & D-7 charts using the 2 approaches are shown below. In the old rasi chart, lagna lord is in 5 th house, aspected by Jupiter. Though 5 th lord is in an inimical sign and not particularly strong, this can indicate childbirth. In the old D-7 chart, lagna lord Sun is in marana karaka sthana in the 12 th house. The 5 th lord of children, Jupiter, is retrograde in an inimical sign and 5 th house does not have any strong associations. Overall, there are no clear indications of childbirth in the year. In the new rasi chart, lagna lord Saturn is in 5 th house (longitude-wise). Though debilitated, he is retrograde and gets neecha bhanga. The 5 th lord Venus is closely conjoined with 7 th lord Moon (within 7º) and gives raja yoga. Overall, 5 th house is strong enough. In the new D-7 chart, lagna lord Moon and 5 th lord (and yogakaraka) Mars are in own signs.

  • Drekkanna - the D/3 Chart = Dreshkhamsa
    DREKKANNA - THE D/3 CHART = DRESHKHAMSA Drekkana the D-3 chart = dreshkhamsha = a graphic representation of the placement of each radix graha into one of the 36 Drekkana BPHS Chapter 6: Shloka 7-8. Dreshkamsha: "One third of a Rashi is called Dreshkamsha. These are totally 36, counted from Mesha, repeating thrice at the rate of 12 per round. The 1st, 5th and the 9th Rashi from a Rashi are its three Dreshkhamsha and are,respectively, lorded by 1. Narada, 2. Agasthya 3. Durvasha." The meaning of the word DRESH – KANA DRESH mens seeing or visualizing objects which are apparent or hidden (obscure) in nature. KANA means corner or trine (Trikona). Therefore, Dreshkana represents the varga (division) where the signs, trine to each other, convey apparent as well as hidden personality and nature (swaroopa) of the native. Quotes From: David Frawley. the Astrology of the Seers, p. 186: "In this harmonic the first 1/3 or ten degrees 00° 00'-10° 00' of any sign ruled by itself. The middle 1/3,10° 00'-20° 00', is ruled by the subsequent sign of the same element. The last 1/3, 20° 00'-30° 00', is ruled by the final sign of the same element. For example, the first 1/3 of Sagittarius is in the harmonic third of Sagittarius, the second 1/3 in the harmonic third of Aries, and the last 1/3 in the harmonic third of Leo. Hence, if Saturn is located in a birth chart at 15° 20' Sagittarius, it would be in the harmonic third of Aries.

  • Two Vedic Astrology Articles
    www.BhaktivedantaCollege.org Two Vedic Astrology Articles Copyright © 1999 by Shiv Kumar Chada 1. Hora, The Least Understood Divisional Chart 2. Nadi Jyotish 1. Hora, the Least Understood Divisional Chart By Shiv Kumar Chadha Hora is the divisional chart in Vedic Astrology, used for assessing the financial standing of the subject. The first half of odd signs and second half of the even signs, have the Hora of the Sun, whereas the second half of odd signs and first half of even signs have the Hora of the Moon. Currently Hora chart being made by the astrologers or computer programs, displays planets in Cancer and Leo signs only, leaving other signs blank. This is not correct way of making this chart and therefore does not help in interpreting it properly. Parashar in chapter 6 verse 6, has clearly stated that Horas are 24 in number with the 12 signs Aries to Pisces making two rounds to occupy these 24 Horas. To explain it, divide each sign in two parts and place Hora signs in Romans underlined as I, II, III, make them look distinguished in the diagram attached.

  • Drekkana Varga by Ernst Wilhelm
    Drekkana Varga By Ernst Wilhelm www.astrology-videos.com “Happiness, etc. with relations should be known from Drekkana.” -Sanketi Nidhi “A planet in its own decanate confers virtues".” -Saravali Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra states that the Drekkana indicates happiness with siblings, though Sanketi Nidhi expands upon this idea to include happiness with all relations. An important point, the Drekkana indicates the happiness that the native has with siblings/relations, not the life of the siblings. The life of the siblings is indicated by the relevant Bhava cusp that represents the sibling (3rd for younger, 11th for elder) and that Bhava cusp needs to be read in all Vargas – that is how the life of the siblings is to be read. What the Drekkana itself represents is the capacity that we have to work with all our relations towards mutually fulfilling goals and thus it indicates our happiness with our relations. Afflicted Bhavas and afflicted lords indicate those people in our live with whom we work less effectively; while strong Bhavas and lords in good Lajjitaadi Avasthas indicate those people with whom we work very effectively. Individuals with a good Drekkana are socially able, while those with troubled Drekkanas are socially unable. Remember that the 3rd Bhava, for which the Drekkana is the important Varga, represents an individual’s social ability. The social ability represented by the Drekkana and by the 3rd Bhava is initially developed through the association with siblings, and so ability with siblings is an important aspect of the Drekkana, but the Drekkana is not limited to our social ability with just siblings, it reflects our social ability with everyone that we come across.

  • Uma-Shambhu Hora

Narasimha Rao August 26, 2012 Warning : All copyrights are reserved with author. This article cannot be reproduced in any form in part or in full, without express permission from the author. Introduction Maharshi Parasara taught many divisional charts at the beginning of his masterpiece “Brihat Parasara Hora Sastram”. Hora chart is one of those charts. Parasara recommended seeing wealth in that chart. Computation of hora chart has become controversial. This is what Parasara said: sUyeRNÖaeivR;me razaE sme tiÖprItkm!, iptríNÔhaereza deva> sUyRSy kIitRta>. razerx¡ ÉveÏaera taítuiv¡zit> Sm&ta>, me;aid tasa< haera[a< pirv&iÄÖy< Évet!. süryendvorviñame räçau same tadviparétakam| pitaraçcandrahoreçä deväù süryasya kértitäù|| räçerardhaà bhaveddhorä täçcaturviàçatiù småtäù| meñädi täsäà horäëäà parivåttidvayaà bhavet|| Literal meaning : Lords of horas are Sun and Moon in odd signs and reverse in even signs. The deities corresponding to lunar and solar horas are pitris (ancestral manes) and gods. Half of a sign is a hora. There are 24 of those remembered. Starting from Aries, two cycles of horas occur. Current Interpretations View 1: Some scholars interpret Sun and Moon being the lords of horas to mean that planets occupy either Cn or Le in hora chart and no other signs. Weakness : This interpretation ignores the expression “parivritti dwayam”. There are no two cycles starting from Ar here. More fundamentally, a chart that uses only two signs always is not too logical. View 2: Some scholars interpret Sun and Moon being the lords of horas to refer to day strong signs (Sun) and night strong signs (Moon).

ABSTRACT In Vedic astrology the subject of longevity has been exhaustively dealt in a very detailed manner. To start with, the life of a person is broadly classified Balarishta Yoga, Madhyarishta Yoga, Yogarista Madhyayu Yoga, Deerghayu Yoga and Purnayu Yoga or Amithayu. For finding out this there are various combinations or yogas for each category of life length which have been mentioned in ancient Vedic Astrology texts and have stood the test of time. But some of the malefic yogas may affect adversely such yogas and make the person die with some problems. Here the idea of the researcher is to provide a short note on such malefic yogas. Introduction Vedic Astrologers starts their work on horoscope analysis and DARIDRA YOGA future prediction by checking the life span or longevity of the If the lord of the 11th house be in the 6th, 8th or in the 12th house, person first, because what is the use of predicting events related a person born will be poor and miserable .He may be in debt and to career, marriage, wealth, relationship and fame if there is no will commit dirty deeds. longevity beyond few years.

  • Mantreswara's Phala Deepika
    MANTRESWARA'S PHALA DEEPIKA English Translation, Commentary and annotation by Dr. G. S. Kapoor Preface Shri Mantreswara's 'Phaladeeplka' holds a most distinguished position amongst the great ancient astrological classics alongwith Brihat Parasara Hora Sastra, Varahmihira's Brihat Jataka and Vaidya Natha's Jataka Parijata. It deals in a most comprehensive and authoritative manner with almost all the astrological aspects of human life. There can be said to be nothing that this great work has omitted from its purview. Some of the important subjects dealt with in a lucid manner in the book are: description and characteristic features of the various signs, planets and bhavas (houses), the various kinds of strengths of planets and their awasthas with their effects, sources of livelihood, yogas or planetary combinations leading to affluence and poverty, effects of planets in different houses, effects of different Ascendants, Female horoscopy, matters relating to matrimony and progeny determination of longevity, judgment of houses, various kinds of Dasas and their effects, Ashtakavarga and its importance in the judging of effects of transit of planets, transit effects of planets and constellations, and description and influence of upagrahas. The author of this book Shri Mantreswara is believed to have lived in the 13th century when this valuable work must have been compiled. It is said that he belonged to a family of Namboodari Brahmins and he was born in tirinevelley District of the erstwhile Madras Presidency (now known as Tamil Nadu). He was a devotee of Sukuntlambki Devi. As a young man his name was Markandeya Bhattadri. To attain knowledge he is said to have travelled to far off places like Badrika Ashram in Himalayas and Mithila Pradesh - By sheer dint of hard work and devotion, he became well versed in the Vedanta philosophy and in the knowledge of other sastras, and by severe observance of fast, penance and meditation, he became gifted with divine knowledge and assumed the name of Mantreswara.
