H e retorts vehemently ‘Marriage will happen or not? This basic question we Indian Jyotishis
can’t predict with guarantee. What do you all want to do with Obama? As if he is going to
give you all an award. Leave me in peace, he has his own astrologer who is guiding him don’t
worry about him, worry about yourself, clean your heart and come back when you are reformed’.
The time we met him must have been wrong, yet when truth strikes your heart you are
absolutely numb. On the way back we kept on thinking what the yogi said and co‐relating it with the
same words in our Bible, and the path outlined in it which we are not following. Our obeisance to our
Bible ‘The Last Book of Astrology’ the book that has made our lives, catapulted our path in Jyotish to
abnormal level as compared to what was before, though many light years still to cross. That book does
not contain techniques of astrology but far more vital secrets of Astrology as it talks about The Path. To
understand this Path & the Biggest Kept Secret of Astrology let’s get started below on a journey that
would stretch in many of the publitorials. The breathing should be slow and deep, as what follows is
complex information even for the seasoned Vedic astrologer who is used to this house to house decoding
yet at many places lot of things would need to be unraveled.

4th House – The Astrology of Throne

This house is called the house of Primary Education, although we can split it up to 2H, 5H, 9H of higher
education and 8H of occult & so on. But ancients have focused on the 4H as the house of education,
throne, heart, Pure Intent, comforts & happiness. We must request the westerner astrologer to stay with
us till the end of this long piece to know the Secret Of Astrology that we found only being mentioned in
‘The Last Book of Astrology’. For it is such a secret that no tradition lays stress on and all of us today
have forgotten its importance. Let us take 4H and its relation with Natural Zodiac (Aries as Asc)
referred to as the chart when God created this Universe by some and called since time immemorial in
India as the Naisargik Kundali. We would take the 4H as the central house and move to other houses to
judge how this knowledge of the 4H behaves & is in turn influenced so that at the end we realize the
key to the 4H of education of astrology that we all seek.

1st
4th house is the central pillar of one’s existence when one is born as it is the house of mother whose
breasts we suck to survive, from it the milk (nectar‐knowledge) flows. Your first learning (education)
starts in your mother’s arms when she teaches you the real meaning of the word Maa, Mom, Mother. It
is also the sign of Cancer whose lord is Moon which stands for mother, it is a watery sign yet it is not
11
violent water; it is calm and soothing like mothers love. So in order to gain knowledge, the student of
this science needs to be ‘Calm’ (key) and for the 4H to prosper you need to have movement (watery
sign) in this house, so your information (education) should move and cannot be holed up, as stagnant
water will one day create diseases. That is the reason they say for an astrologer, if one does not have
vices yet suffers from heart disease (4H), then one has holed up the knowledge, if there are blood
pressure problems then as blood is not flowing properly, knowledge from your heart (4h)) does not flow
properly. If your knowledge is not pure then your heart swells giving you ego and attitudinal problems
(5H) as the 2nd from 4H is 5H of attitude, and 2nd from any house is the gains of that house. That is the
reason they say in ancient India that when they see an astrologer showing off information (education)
that he did not have a good guru, for if he had, this would not be the result at all. The ‘Last Book of
Astrology’ says ‘The weight of Knowledge is so much; man cannot bear it hence he bends down due to
the weight (gets humbled) ‐ that is the reason one with true knowledge would always be humble, never
have ego, never get angry or run others down on the subject of knowledge.’ Sign ruling the 4H whether
fixed, dual, moveable, airy, fiery all will add further color to your approach to education & level of
learning, it’s a natural watery sign (Cancer), if fire element comes here in 4H its not comfortable.
Suppose fiery sign/fire element has come in watery sign in 4H, then water becomes hot and boils and
evaporates, finally no water. So if one’s house (home) catches fire then it means one has done
something drastically wrong with ones knowledge (4H) as fire on water is naturally not possible,
against nature and Mother (4H) nature is angry with you or it could also mean among many other things
1
that your students are going to deceive you soon as students is 5H and 12th from it (4H) will show the
loss of 5H or one has misused ones mantras (5H of mantra) hence there is fire in your home (12th from
2
5H). Hence astrologers in India do not speak about fire in one’s home for they know this rule if they
learnt astrology from the way tradition teaches you that is Natural Zodiac or Kaala Purusha Kundali.
4H is mother and education and that is the reason Mother Saraswati is considered the Goddess of
3
Learning in India, she is not called just Saraswati but addressed as Maa Saraswati . 4H of natural zodiac
is Cancer sign which as per our texts mean ‘residing in forest’ hence to gain real knowledge one must go
internal in seclusion & not external in forums or organizations, become quiet and calm like the water
energy of Cancer. That is the reason it is said ‘Astrology is the knowledge of Monks’ (Jyotish Sanyasiyo
ka Vidya Hain) since they are always secluded. Remember Linda Goodman secluded herself from the
rest and became the No.1 author, the first to come on New York Times Best Seller List.

2nd
2nd from 4H of education is the 5H it is gain of education that gives you knowledge & intelligence (5H
matter) and you feel proud at times due to your education as 5h of the natural zodiac is ruled by Leo the
Lion who resides in forest and hence for gain of knowledge (5H) one must become secluded where
Astrology becomes your religion. But if knowledge becomes a tool for your ego or fame (5H) then your
intelligence (5H) gets marred and what you write (3rd is writing, so 3rd from 3rd which is 5H is the
Resultant House. the 3rd house of writing) can become egoistical & this ego becomes a harm inflictor
(marak) to the 4H of education thereby stopping your further growth of the 4H. In Vedic astrology the
2nd from any house is the house of sustenance and thus if you do not sustain anything properly this same
2nd house becomes a ‘Harm Inflictor’ for the previous house. If you have malefics in the 5H of
intelligence or aspecting it (e.g. Saturn, Nodes) then your intelligence will become marred as you cross
36 years of age & worse after 42, the ages of Saturn & Rahu or till those age it will be marred, depending
on the sign. If a retrograde malefic influences this house then you will misuse what you gained (5th is 2nd
from 4th house) from your education of previous life as you grow old. Most astrologers say this to scare
parents (that a child’s education will suffer a break when such malefics influence) to sell remedies and

1
Please keep in mind that the whole article is in context of our discussion of astrologers learning/knowledge gain.
2
Somehow no one bothers to ask what was the karma, what was the esoteric reason behind burning of the ancient libraries of Nalanda
University & Royal Library of Alexandria. There has to be a karmic reason. What sin did we all commit that our knowledge got burnt
down.
3
There are various schools of thoughts on this, normally we take 5H as Creation (Brahma) & 4H as Saraswati Goddess, but in Tibetan
regions they take the reverse for deities of various houses for remedies. Sticking to Brahma for 5H can seem logical as 5H is children and
you create (brahma) / give birth to your children.
12
gain money, yet the other side of the coin is misuse or no use of one’s education & all your mantras (5H)
won’t be able to save your children or save you from the wrath of your students as both children and
students are 5H matters and the house placement & aspects of malefics in a chart show ones sins.
Unfortunately we ignore this rule when we delineate our favorite astrologer’s charts.

3rd
3rd from the 4H of the Information of Education is the 6th house, and in natural zodiac it is Virgo ruled
by Mercury, the planet for communications. So 3rd from 4th becomes the writing that you do in astrology
of what you learn (4H), and if there are malefics in this house then you can develop lots of enemies (6H
is enemies) and also diseases through your writing. Some of us develop lung problems if our writings
demean others educational material & we wonder why. That is the reason the monks of astrology never
write as they know that people outside in cities are narrow minded and would not digest their writings,
but their gain is freedom from enemies and disease as they gave up writing. They don’t write for forums
or fight with other astrologers. Example: if one has Rahu (Dragons Head) in 6th house, ones writings
will be read by foreigners more (Rahu means foreigners), it would be research oriented (Rahu shows
research), by being a malefic who wanted superiority over Gods (mythology) Rahu will make one
demean others in your writings creating fights by being controversial, one would not reveal the true
information in her/his writings as Rahu has tendency to hide as per Indian mythology when Rahu the
demon cheated the gods to gain nectar by disguising himself as a god. Take another case concerning
ones learning, Dragons Head implements its energy in the 3rd from itself ‐ ref Aug 08 Vol 3 issue of SA ‐
so if you have Rahu in 4th house it will make you write (3H) to fool others as Rahu fooled the Gods to
gain nectar (money) & to influence naive foreigners (Rahu means foreigner) and create fights (6H is
fights) this will give you disease as 6H is disease. Depending on the sign it will be incurable or curable.
As 3rd from 4th house of learning is 6H of accidents then if one has an accident combination in ones
chart one should be careful of not hiding ones knowledge as 6H gets activated and accident is caused.
When we hear of an astrologer having a chronic accident we first enquire if that astrologer was
approached by a student or publisher and if he refused sharing the knowledge. Often the answer we get
is yes.

4th
4th from 4th is the 7th house of public life & position in public life (pada prapti), this 7H is the Resultant
House of the 4H, the concept is called Arudha in Sanskrit, which you calculate by counting the number
of houses away from its original position. This can be applied to all houses. Example: if we want to find
out the resultant house of the 5th house in a chart we will count 5 places from 5th house and we get the 9th
house. The intelligence of the 5H gets converted to the wisdom & philosophy that is seen from the 9th
house, e.g. if you see children from 5H, no malefics aspecting it or its lord but you see malefics
influencing 9H or its lord then you deduce some problems in area of children. Coming back to 7H (4th
from 4th) this sign in natural zodiac is Libra, the result of one’s education is to make one a balanced
individual especially in public life as an astrologer. As it is the resultant house of your education if you
become unbalanced in your dealings towards knowledge it in turn affects ones 4H of education. As it
becomes the 7th house of relationship, problems in the 4H reflect on our relationships, often one finds
that astrologers are the most difficult people to deal with in their strive for public standing and often
their marriages are ruined due to wanting self projection & pushing partner in background.
Now if the 4th house is pure then your education brings you great success in acquiring fruitful
public positions, you become a useful astrologer in the public eye. If 4H has restrictive planets
influencing it (like Saturn) then your education can be restricted at any point in your life, and if no
positive influences then you do not get public limelight (7H) effect. Example: if you have Rahu
influencing the 4H then your knowledge is incomplete as Rahu could not devour the nectar completely
and his head was cut off by Chief of Gods as per Vedic Mythology resulting in Rahu & Ketu. 10th from
7th house is the 4H of learning, 10th means karma, the result, how an astrologer behaves in public life
ones learning increases or decreases. If lot of time is spent doing conferences (7H ‐ public life), ones
further learning is reduced as the action (10th) is in the 10th from it. That is the reason you find that
many famous astrologers after one point stagnate since they spend too much time doing publicity stunts
(nautanki). Good learning (4H) ensures good Publicity (7H) automatically since the karma of 7th is
dependant in the 4H of learning.
13
5th
5th from the 4th house of Learning is the 8th house of occult and longevity/survival. You can survive as
an astrologer in this world only if you have good learning; the gain of occultness of the 8H is a result of
the previous merits of the 4th house of Learning, since the 5th means previous births merits (poorva
poonya) & 8th is the Storehouse of Previous Merits (Poorva Janma Raj Kosh). The natural sign of the
8H is Scorpion: if your merits are not good the science will bite you and that is the reason elders in India
do not encourage a householder to practice astrology as without knowing the roads (tradition) of the 8H
of scorpion you can get sting badly & end up in poverty or misery. From the 8th house the 4th house of
learning is in the 9th (fruits) from it, which means Previous good merits in matters of Learning or
Knowledge gives fruits of good learning of astrology in this life. This is the hidden logic behind why
elders say 8H is the house of occult/astrology. So if we cheat people of knowledge, books or manuscripts
or hiding it (8H is house of hidden) you will suffer in next life when it comes to your astrological
knowledge and other areas too, but here our discussion is on learning astrology and astrologers, not
other areas of life. The 5th shows ones attitude so the attitude by which you do your studies (4H) is
governed by the 8H and the fruits therein of ‘Continuous Flow of the Learning Cycle’.
The 8H is the house of darkness and solitude and you need to be the Apprentice of the Master
but in solitude that’s the key as it is 8H. Now if your Master has many students you won’t get the
solitude (ekant) to do your studies. Often we think that books are our best gurus since we are alone
(8H) with our books. Why didn’t our sages have 10,000 students under them? Why did Jesus not have
more than 12 disciples? Was their knowledge not superior to attract many? Because they knew that
energy could be transferred to very few, unlike today’s Gurus who are in the business of wanting more
and more students? Their true worth is seen by the number of students a guru has.

6th
6th from the 4H of Learning is the house of 9th house of Teacher, Righteous actions (Dharma), Wisdom,
God’s blessings & Fruits of One’s Life. Now 6th means service/efforts/hard work/obstacles/gratitude,
in order to get wisdom to become a Guru one needs to do extreme hard work and serve (6th) ones Guru.
It is a fiery sign (Sagi) and your teacher at times gets angry with you but if our ego is so much that it
hurts us, then we do not get the Guru ‐ period. But is there a true guru today, one can spend lifetimes in
a city or forum and you won’t find one. 9th house is the house of Sagittarius in the Natural Zodiac
whose lord is Jupiter the natural teacher. 9H is the house of Gods too so when we don’t get a guru we
make God our Guru, and its far better than today’s Guru who accords you titles of Guruism depending
on how much you served (6th) them with praise or money. What should be the relationship towards our
God (or guru) & our learning, well as it is 6th from 4H and 6th shows serving, faith and bowing down,
that’s what it should be as when you have full faith only then you, bow to someone or to God.
When we bow down in full faith to our Gods or Guru or Master, we gets in return the Occult
Knowledge (as the 4th house is 8th from 9th), so in order to learn anything from anyone whether it be a
colleague or book or magazine we must show humility (6th) and be ready to learn, but if we show 9th
house trait of already being a Guru, what will we learn? The energy will go into the 12H of loss (9th
energy of Guruism from 4th is the 12H). There is a negative side to the 6th as it shows selfishness. And so
when we take this selfish attitude of the 6th from the 4th house towards our guru (9H) then true love,
true knowledge does not come to self (1H as it is 5th from 9th) but when we convert this selfishness into
honest gratitude we get the real knowledge (9H). Here unfortunate is the Guru (9H) who is born with
many sins of previous life to get a selfish student, for e.g. Internet Paramparas (tradition) have many
gurus who are most hated by their students and Gurus are aware of this, even the student knows the
guru is aware of their hatred but all of them butters their gurus alas true knowledge has not come out
from the gurus as a result not a single of the Paramparas can predict to save their life. We must pity
such students and such Gurus who, in spite of knowing the game they are playing with each other, are
so dependent on each other for surviving today in the ‘Age of Fame Astrology’. The 9H is the house of
prosperity and is governed by the deity Laxmi, Goddess of Wealth, when we serve our Guru we get
everlasting wealth his true love which is unconditional, is not unconditional love the greatest wealth of
all since time immemorial.
6th from any house is the house of jealous, as enemies are jealous of us or vice versa and we can’t
speak good about our enemies or vice versa. 6th from the 4th house ones knowledge is the 9H which is
14
the house of Higher Knowledge, it is our by our hard work (6th) that our knowledge becomes refined
and becomes higher knowledge (9H). As it is the house of higher knowledge we as astrologers should be
careful that we do not carry the negative side of the 6th house energy from 4H to 9H as we can then
become jealous of others higher knowledge and this is often the trap of the 6th houses energy of
selfishness & greed. When we tend to hate or dislike or argue with others who have higher knowledge
(9H) we are converting the 6H of hard work energy to become jealous energy and thereby the Source
that is the 4H gets spoilt effecting our own learning. As we tend to continuously criticize others works
(9H). Often you will find out that the Supreme Astrologer who has understood the meaning of the
word Jyotish never privately or publicly criticizes others higher knowledge whether it be in form of
books or articles. You will observe that not a single Sage has ever criticized another Sages work.
You come to know the worth of how one will progress in astrology if he or she reads a great book
on astrology and no praise comes from him, if no praise comes you know which type of 6H energy is
travelling from his 4H since when one gets jealous of someone’s success surely he is not your friend
(4H) but you are taking him as the enemy (6H) and this happens mainly when you do the Astrology of
the Throne (4H) and not Astrology of the Heart (4H). This is the difference in the 4H energy. This
scribe has observed over many years of observation when he learns a secret technique from an astrologer
and when he teaches the same to another astrologer, he is not much interested in learning and after
learning it has no praise for it as if he has learnt all the techniques of astrology.
We noticed the 4H of heart methodology from a master who had no tradition in astrology, no
guru yet he went on to become a Master of the science & also world famous. Those were the nostalgic
days when sitting at his feet we would hear stories of him praising other astrologers’ works, always
praising. So much love flowed. No doubt the energy flowed from his 4H to 9H and back to his 4H with
more higher knowledge, much more than what others ever got.

7th
As the 1st house is self and 7th house is the Man that comes out in the world to interact with it, same is
the 4th house of Learning and the 7th from it becomes the 10th house of what comes out of that learning,
which, being the 10H, can either be your profession or your free serving to help people. It being the sign
of Capricorn in the natural zodiac is ruled by Saturn, one must be careful with what is done with this
learning (of the 4th house) as when Saturn strikes no mantra can save, and we know that even Gods had
to go into hiding for years due to Saturn. Our obeisance to Gods and planet Saturn both. At times when
this 10H is spoilt due to actions of previous or this life, an astrologer develops problems of the knee as
10H & Capricorn is knee, this knee problems cannot be ignored by a prudent astrologer.

8th
This is the best house; the 8th from 4th house is the 11H of gains of money, gain of position and gains in
fulfillment of desires. Ruled by Aquarius the Pot Bearer who some say needs to overflow to function
and some say it should not overflow being half empty whereas some say the pot of the sign is actually
empty. It is the pot of Occult Knowledge of the 4H of Learning (8th from 4th); this is the real Occult of
the Astrology. 4th house sign is Cancer which is water element and this water must flow through ordeals
(8H) into the Pot of the 11H of Aquarius and it is then only (struggle energy of 8th) that the pot becomes
full to give you Gains that is signified by the 11H.
Now, the 8th house is more to do with magic, tantric activities, austerities and unfortunately the
astrology of today, which is far different than astrology of olden days. Think of it this way: if 8H is
occult then 4th (education) from 8th is the 11th house. And 8th from 4h is also 11H, both ways we come to
4
the same 11th house that is Aq that is ruled by Saturn and the natural Obstacle House of the zodiac (For
Aries, Cancer, Libra & Capricorn the 11th from it is the Obstacle Sign). No wonder to gain money or
position or fulfillment of desires humans face so many obstacles and get it after a lot of effort, and as the
elders say, Saturn gives results after delay—it’s not delay, it’s the hard work and efforts signified by
Saturn to cross the obstacles (11H). The difference between a good and a bad astrologer is Saturn; the

4
After this editorial was finished, we came across our Nadi notes book and found written there that Aq is another mystic science of zodiac
besides Sc, besides 8th from any house is the mystic house of it since it carries with it Sc energy. The color of Aquarius is deep‐brown and
if one notices the headings of each article, paragraphs & borders of pages of this magazine are deep brown in color by coincidence.
15
good astrologer has worked hard burning midnight oil to test each and every technique he finds in
books. See, oil is signified by Saturn and night is when Saturn is strong.
The problem here is the fortune (4th) of this occult knowledge (11H) is governed by 2H (4th from
11 ) and also Saturn implements itself in the 4th from where it sits. Saturn is the Dharma Holder
th

(Judges Righteousness in Each One) so one’s speech has to flow with Truth & what you do with this
Mystic Knowledge is governed by Saturn. No doubt the ancients and as late as C. S. Patel have said you
must always speak the truth. But this is so tough in today’s world. If you speak the truth in today’s
world you are banned from forums of dictator astrologers, if you suggest that before we decide on
anything lets first remove those 60,000 manuscripts (Saturn) on the topic you get banned by Fuehrer’s
Of Astrology who do not realize that one day people with only 6 years of astro knowledge will come &
remove the carpet under you. As 6 year olds represent Indigo Children and color Indigo is the higher
octave of Saturn as per some.
Why is the water to flow continuously from Cancer to Aquarius since you need to make many
pots that can contain your ever increasing learning. See the clay of the Aq pot is made of mud (earth‐
4H), now this is made with hands (11H & 3H) & some water (4H). The Saturn here is the toughest to
deal with, as it is a fixed Saturn here rather than a moveable Saturn of Capricorn, if one is too fixed it
breaks the Pot‐ knowledge gone and if one is too soft the Pot cannot be made. This should give a clue as
to what kind of energies we require to benefit in gaining knowledge when it comes to the real mystic
knowledge of the 4H of our learning. The other clue for Indian Astrologers who take Lord Ganesh
(elephant headed) as Lord of astrology and pray to him for excellence in astrology is for the reason that
Lord Ganapati is considered as the remover & creator of obstacles (11H) as we all know and the 11H
5
(Aq) is ruled by Lord Ganapati . We hope now the logic of Aq‐Astrology & Lord Ganesh is grasped by
Indian astrologers. In India the richest city is Mumbai & also hosts Bollywood, this city holds the
biggest festival in the whole of India for Lord Ganapati as he removes obstacles (11H) and gives gain of
desires & money (11H) which Mumbai has.

9th
9th from 4th house of learning is where the heart of God is, and is called the house of pleasures and
spirituality. If you reside (4H of home) in the heart of God won’t you enjoy pleasures & spirituality? 9th
from any house is the fruits of that house hence they said donate knowledge as 9th (fruits) from 4H of
knowledge is the 12H of charity & also the fruit of the happiness of 4H (sukhastana‐4h). For more into
this readers can refer to Sri Krishna’s words in Bhavishya Purana (holy text) that we translated for the
first time for the benefit of readers in Vol 2. The sign is Pisces of the natural zodiac and it is the water
where fish moves around, so the fruits of this action are ever flowing and also feeds others (fish). This
12th house is the house of the heart (4th from 9th) of the Guru, the Master and of the Gods. So once you
donate true knowledge without worrying about the fruits of it then God falls in love with you as his
heart is yours and you will automatically get more knowledge as 12H is the Knowledge of the Gods (4th
from 9th). That is the reason there is a verse in sanskrit which says that to hold knowledge and not allow
anyone to bring out knowledge is a sin which cannot be reversed. Alas today’s organizations and Gurus
do not want you to bring out knowledge, if you bring it out their throne gets threatened as they practice
the astrology of thrones.
It is important to note this relation that, as the 4th house is the 5th (poorva punya/merits of
previous birth) from the 12H of Gods heart/spirituality. Hence it is your previous births merit of
donation of knowledge by which you get good education (4H) of this science in this birth. Please re‐read
the above verse and see the cycle is complete – 9th from 4th your fruits (9H) of donation (12h) of
6
knowledge in previous life (12H) & it comes back (5H) as knowledge (4H) in this life. That is the
reason it is said donate without your shadow coming to know of it, without any conditions in your
donation, we can’t say ‘Give me $250 for my article or magazine’ but it can’t be free either as anything
free has no value since gratitude died 2000 years back.

Here it can be this life also depending on the sign occupied there and other multitudinal factors.
16
10th
10th from the 4th house is the house of karma (10th) of the education that you learn. This makes you or
breaks you by giving you ego about it as the 1H is the house of ego. In reverse, since 4th house is the 4th
from the 1H, it bloats your heart (4H) giving you a bigger ego, making the 4H ‘Fixed’ and not flowing
like water which it should be as 4h is sign of Cancer. This energy movement becomes cyclic 4th to 1st to
4th and becomes a black hole most astrologers cannot escape including this writer. That is the reason for
gain of true knowledge in olden days the monks were advised begging as a ritual so that their ego
becomes zero and flow of energy goes on and on in a cycle as the monks were not after gold but after
knowledge.

11th
11th from the 4th is the 2H of wealth, speech and family. As such 11th stands for gain and 11th from any
sign stands for gain or no gain of that house. If your actions in the 4H are good then there is gain in the
11th from it resulting in prosperity to you & family; if the actions are bad then your whole family goes
down. The natural 4H sign is Cancer and hence its Obstacle Sign would be Taurus, which means if you
do not allow free flowing of energy in the 4h which is its natural birth‐right (cancer sign) then you
7
create Obstacles in the 2H of family, wealth and speech. How is this 4H so instrumental – if one does
not want to learn or does not allow one to learn, then one’s heart (4H) will get fixed, which is against
the very basic nature of the 4H. Hence the result will be destruction of wealth or family or speech or
eyesight at one stage of life. Depending on the sign it will be either in this life or next or next to next
and that’s the reason Sage Parasara wrote 5000 years back that ‘Hence, everyone should have knowledge
of Jyotish, particularly the Brahmin. The one, who, is devoid of knowledge of Jyotish, blames this Vedic
Science will go to the hell called Raurava and will be reborn blind.’

Mark the words blind and knowledge of Sage Parasara. The logic of this verse as to why sage mentions
blind has so far eluded most so we here make a humble attempt to explain a part of it. See co‐relate this with logic
8
as to why it is said that Jyotish (11H) is the eye (2H) of the Vedas (4H) from whatever you read in the paragraph
titled 11 th. Vedas means the highest knowledge as per Indians and is tough to understand. Take Vedas as 4H, the
supreme part & gain of this knowledge of Vedas would be the 11th from it, as 11th symbolizes the highest
gains in a chart and the 11th from 4th is the 2H of eyes, hence ‘Astrology is the eye of the Knowledge’ has
been cryptically by our ancients as astrology opens our eyes to see the difference between illusion and
the reality of our existence, that is our past actions that result in future results. This whole concept
deserves an article but let’s see it from other angles. If we take 9th of essence from 4H of the 4Vedas, we
get 12H of spirituality & right eye and it is just astrology becomes a Spiritual science. If we take 8H as
Astrology of Occult, then the 2nd (eye) from it becomes the 9H of higher knowledge. Astrology becomes
your eye to see the plan of God (Vedas).

There is so much more to this for example see 4H and take 11th from it which is 2H of speech. In
India it is said that an astrologer needs Vak Siddhi which means the words (prediction) that comes out
of his mouth should become true. Now mouth is 2H, 3rd from any house is the action of that house
which becomes 4H, if malefics are in 4H it becomes an impediment as malefics signify impediments,
now as food for thought go to charts of those astrologers whose prediction failed on your charts or those
gurus who often fail in their predictions and in some of their charts you would find a malefic in 4H or
association of 4L with malefics. Unfortunately no astrologer writes on this particular aspect since he
would lose his business.

12th
12th from 4H is the natural 3rd house of writing and also the house of charity of knowledge (4th) as 12th
means charity. That is the reason when an author writes a book (3H) or gives a lecture he donates (12th)
his learning (4H). Donation is always unconditional love and hence if one writes a book but does not

Again 11 th energy of Ganesh‐obstacles comes here, hence for vak‐siddhi (predictive ability) since ages astrologers pray to Lord Ganesh.

reveal his full knowledge in his writing on that topic his donation is not accepted by the Universal
Energy which is male female combined that is Gemini of 3H of Natural Zodiac. Reverse is 2nd from 3rd
house of writing and good communication skills, it results in gains of more knowledge (4th is 2nd from
3rd) & fortune (4H of fame & fortune). The 3rd house is the natural sign of Gemini, the combination of
the male‐female energy, the unbiased one: your writing needs to unbiased, for without which knowledge
would not grow. Your writing should be honest, admitting your failures, and not such that one day a 6
year old kid (Mer‐Gemini) comes to tattoo on your hand, this sentence, ‘I Do Not Know Astrology’.
Remember Mercury is the kid and the 12th house is the loss of the 4H of knowledge, hence they say in
India for those egoistic astrologers that one day a kid (Mer‐Gemini ruled) will come and show your
inferiority (loss) to you, if you have so much of ego (4H of pride) on your knowledge. Indians can refer
to the ancient story of Prahlada & Dhruva – 6 year olds who reduced the ego of their opponents. It is
said in every era they are reborn to drive out the old egoists. As 12th from 4H is 3H of writing, it also
means that by writing what was yours (4H) is no more yours (12th from it) and it belongs to the world,
as it being 12th it is charity of your knowledge whose sign is Gemini in natural zodiac, which stands for
intelligence as it is ruled by Mercury, and in next life or this you are rewarded with more intelligence
due to your charity of knowledge.

In order to avoid length of this write up we have not used Elements (Tatva) and many other
characteristics of each sign. But what is the bottom line, what is the so called Biggest Kept Secret of
Astrology. It is the 4H of:‐

Heart

Y es without a good heart one cannot learn astrology, one may learn information, become a great
predictor but the basic meaning of the word Jyotish (not using the word astrology here) will not
be understood by us. You see the 4H is the house of the mother; here the mother and the kid
unite as the kid sucks the milk from her breasts which are located also near ones heart, it is not the milk
here that flows, it is the mother’s love from her heart which flows to the kid and that is how Learning
Flows from The Heart. If heart is not pure, what will one teach to others, what knowledge will you
share? Remember what our old teachers said: ‘I taught him with my heart’ (Dil Khol Ke Sikhaya).
Because the guru and student are in love with each other. The student (5H) gains from the 4th. When
you start a science you start for the love of it, because your heart (4H) wants you to learn that science.
At that time you are not worried about what you gain from the science, about the politics of
practitioners of this science, just like a mother while feeding her baby does not wonder if the baby is
going to take care of her in old age. One of our proof readers was travelling in the local metro train,
correcting the articles, and a girl next to her said, Oh Astrology, I want to learn it, go to America and
make money out of it, but I am not finding time to start the study. This is the condition of Indian
Astrology. It’s not wrong to make money or not to make money out of it, what’s wrong is there is no
intention to learn the science for its Holisticity (must coin a new word here). Show us a Guru who
checks your intention when you approach him to learn. Too many of today’s gurus are in the business of
creating thousands of students, and too many students aren’t concerned enough to check the heart of the
guru.
Malefics as we know spoil the houses they sit with or associate with. Forget about the complex
rules let’s just stick to this basic rule and see this through an example. If Rahu sits in the 4H of heart,
the heart of the person is spoilt and such a person is called Kapati (man who cheats) in India since Rahu
by very nature tried to cheat the gods of the nectar. This Rahu in the 4H wants to go ahead in life by
hook or crook. That’s what Rahu displayed in the Nectar story of Indian mythology. In India, Astrology
is considered a very divine science and of the gods. That is the reason in ancient India one would not
teach astrology or mantras to a student who has Rahu in quadrants to the Asc or trinal to the Asc, as
when in trines to the ascendant it afflicts the mind of the native or can give him false guru and no guru
wants to be that false guru. Just for the record this author also has one of the above negative
combinations but which astrologer tried to check that? The moment money is shelled out they start
teaching, even if not money then for the sake of increasing ones students count they teach. Do current
Gurus check your chart before they start teaching you? No they don’t? This Rahu influence is so

18
beautiful that Parampara secrets are revealed not in India but abroad (Rahu’s influence again) but this is
the way the world is. Students join the Guru’s Institution and leave it when they find out the Guru is a
politician and a cheat, yet will still join back shamelessly since we are so hungry for this 4th house of
Throne of Knowledge as we can easily cheat (rahu) young entrants by imparting further courses and we
think Saturn from 10H is not looking at our 4H.
It took this writer incidentally 2 years of gap to decode this verse from ‘The Last Book of
Astrology’ – ‘To Learn Astrology Infidelity Is The Most Important Virtue’ – ‘The Rishis (sages) do not
like Infidelity’, why did it take so long since we forgot that 4H is the house of chastity. Here Babaji is
not referring to sexuality related infidelity but knowledge (4H) related infidelity as one needs to be
honest to ones knowledge capability, otherwise guru/higher knowledge becomes obstacle to gain (6th is
obstacle & 6th from 4H is 9H of guru or higher knowledge).

As we close this long piece, let’s see a movie that is considered by many to be one of the greatest
9
spiritual movies of recent times ‘Jerry Maguire’ – starring Tom Cruise & Cuba Gooding Jr, who plays
Rod Tidwell. Jerry (Tom Cruise) is a Sports Agent & one day writes about dishonesty (4H) in sports
profession and gets fired. He has no clients except his Tidwell, now see what Wikipedia says ‘Tidwell
tests Jerry's resolve through a very long telephone conversation, which culminates in the famed "Show
Me the Money!" telephone yelling match between Rod and Jerry. Later on when Tidwell can’t make it
big he accuses Jerry of being lousy, then Jerry gives the famous mantra ‘You know why you don’t have
the $10 million dollar contract. You Play With Your Head, Not Your Heart’. He goes on to later win a $
11 million dollar contract – notice the synchronicity of the number 11 and now check what you read in
the 11th from 4th and also the 11H of a chart, all of it is governed cum controlled by the Key which is the
4H of Heart, money is just the bi‐product let’s not forget that. Let’s all do the Astrology Of The Heart
instead of becoming No.1 & doing the Astrology of the Throne.

In June 2008, AFI revealed its "Ten top Ten"—the best ten films in ten "classic" American film genres—after polling over 1,500 people
from the creative community. Jerry Maguire was acknowledged as the tenth best film in the sports genre. The dialogue ‘Show Me The
Money’ comes in the AFIs 100 movie quotes at 25th ranking.
