Psychological
Problems & Nandi
Prof D.A.Nigandhi has been an ardent
student of this nadi astrology since few
decades and has delved deeper into the
hidden caves of nadi astrology. The
problem with nadi astrology is half the
time it works and half the time it doesn’t
but when it works it gives you the most
stunning prediction that Parasari &
Jaimini astrology cannot give you, hence
the fascination for Nadi astrology since
many years of so many savants of this
science. His book on Researches in Nadi
astrology has just been launched and is
available in Saptarishis Astrology Book
shop.

N adi texts or Samhita Shastras
forms the basic part of
astrological science. While in
North India Nadi texts are known as
“Samhita Granthas.” Thus many Nadi
texts or Samhitas were written by all the
Seven Sages during gatherings in front of
Goddess Mata Parvati. She was having a
divine love for vaidic texts. The texts were
compiled and engraved under the
supervision of Mata Parvati. Some Nadi
texts are Saptarishi Nadi and Bruhat Nadi
Astrology and Saptarishis Brahmavakya.
All these three texts were preserved in
Tamil Nadu and available even today in
Tamilnadu as it is considered by some to
be the parental home of Mata Parvati. It is
believed that these basic texts including
different volumes in the name of every
sage were written in the period between
5,000-7000 years ago. Some Bha Chakras
(horoscopes) are added later on by the
followers till 500 years ago. Even Nandi
Samhita is subjected to such additions as
verifiable on close scrutiny.
Psychological problems can be divided
broadly into two types 1) Psychiatric or
mental imbalances, which is for a
1
temporary period and 2) Psychological disabilities which are of permanent
nature, but such cases are very rare in Nadi texts.
For detecting psychological imbalances, the position of following three planets is to be
carefully analyzed.

1) Moon, as the significator of mind;

2) Mercury, significator of intellectual prowess or ability; &
3) Sun, significator of soul, Atma as the persons with a weak “atma”-soul is vulnerable
to psychological problems.
Now, if all the above planets are afflicted and Rahu-Ketu is combined with the three, then
only a person looses the balance of mind or becomes whimsical or mad in layman’s terms.
Also, it must be taken into account that imbalance effects may start from three years of age,
except in some rare cases. It is a fact that psychological imbalance in such cases is not by the
birth, but it starts after some years only. This kind of mental imbalance is not permanent or
lifelong. Let us discuss all the three above matters one by one.
But before going into deep, one important matter is to be considered first and that is
“illusionary effects or cloudy vision,” which is caused by Rahu –Ketu. It is very clear that
the affliction to all the three planets, mentioned above, by Rahu and Ketu leads to various
levels of psychological disorders. Depending upon the role of Rahu in the combination, more
time and effort to cure such natives is required. Such natives, from childhood, should be
brought up by the parents in a way that situations of disappointment should be avoided by
all the possible means. Whenever we analyze a horoscope, if such a situation or combination
is found, we advise the parents clearly that, “In any circumstances, such child, should not be
shifted or sent to hostel, boarding, or to foreign country and should not be separated from
the parents”. The illusionary effects or cloudy vision by the Rahu –Ketu affliction warrants
parental love, affection and attention necessary to tide over.
(1) If in any Horoscope if Moon has Rahu in the 5th House from Moon for which a term can
be given that is Re-Reflationary vision or Aspect “Punaravartit Drasti” or Moon –Rahu

conjunction degree wise combination, than it can become a severe case, and if there are
no planets in between 5 houses, five years of that time or time cycle, are very difficult.
An example of 1976 born two Males /Boys, had taken birth between two days, having
similar Bha Chakras or Horoscope, both boys had lost /spoiled 5 years in education. Here
Gemini Moon had Rahu in the 5th house, Tula. In both the cases ordinary Astrologers
considered this phenomenon as polluted –“Dushit” Moon. While according to Nadi texts
which narrate it as, “Mother’s Birth is in “Daityaamsha” means mother will be of
Demon quality or Mother’s mind must not be working. It was found out by researches
that, “such Native’s- Grandmother or Mother’s mind must not be working or must have

 lost mental or psychological balance. It is also found out that, if Moon is in even sign
than she must have lost one female child or miscarriage. Otherwise in case of odd sign
Moon, must have lost a male child in early days etc. anyhow, but this combination states
that, he or she must have survived from drowning, and in other farther stages this
combination provides heavy expenses or heavy losses during Saturn’s transit in the life.
It shows “No proper decision in the life.”

An example chart is given below.

Chart 1: Succo, Roberto Date: 4/3/1962 Time: 13:10 MET (-1:00) Gender: M Place: Mestre,
Italy Lat: 45 N 29 Lng: 12 E 15

Italian serial killer who shot and killed his parents and seven other persons. Captured, he
was assigned to lunatic asylum & killed himself in February 1988. He has Moon in the 9H
and Rahu in the 5th from it and in Lagna and in the sign of Cancer (owned by Moon).

Chart2: Vacher, Joseph Date: 11/16/1869 Time: 01:00 LMT (-0:26) Gender: M Place: Beaufort,
France Lat: 45 N 43 Lng: 06 E 35
French psychopathic serial killer who, from May 1894, strangled, knifed, raped, sexually
mutilated and disemboweled seven women and four youths.
One of 15 kids, as a young man he served in the military. From the time he was a kid, he
was vicious, shy and lazy. In 1893 a girl resisted his advanced so he hurt her badly. He was
sent to an asylum where he attempted suicide, shooting himself in the head. He was
wounded, but survived.
When released on 1st Apr 1894 he thought that his persecution mania was over, but he
promptly began his gruesome murders that eventually reached the total of 22 people over a
period of 3 1/2 years.

Vacher was arrested on 4th Aug 1897. Upon sentencing, he was carried semi-conscious to the
guillotine where he was executed on 31st Dec 1898. He has Rahu in the 5th from Moon.

In all these cases, Rahu is in 5th from the moon.

Since all these cases are discussed in various astrological forums and for want of space, we
abstain from the long discussion.

(2) Mercury means intellectual ability or sharpness or mind. Mercury is a eunuch planet.
Being denoted by “Mohini Swarupa”, mercury assumes the quality and significations of
the planet with whom he is conjoined. Sun –Mercury combination provides education of
Accountancy. If it is with Mars (Mercury –Mars,) it gives expert knowledge of
mathematics. Basically Mercury being demonic in nature is a friend of Rahu. If there is
Mercury –Rahu combination, it constitutes “Bahu vidhya Yoga”; person will have
education or knowledge in many fields, even though Rahu will shadow over the
intellectual ability and the native may lose his/her intellectual ability. If there is sun
Mercury –Rahu combination in a Horoscope, then Sages Like “Nandikeshwara” states
“this birth of the Native’s Father will be the last one and no re –cycle of births for the
father.”

This native, a post graduate in Arts, was admitted in a lunatic asylum in 1992 and escaped
from there in 1999. He knows about 8 languages including German.

(3) Similarly, is the case of sun, the atmakaraka. If sun is strong, “Aatmabal” or power of
soul will be high which will make the native to face any situation, even from worst
position, the native comes out unscathed. If soul power or Sun is weak, then the person is
indecisive and finds it difficult to take decision even in small matters. The combination
of Sun Rahu, so many a times disrupts the power of soul. Even if the combination may be
in the exaltation house of Sun, the resultant effects are more or less the same. Here Sun
becomes weak because of Rahu consuming all the powers.
Thus, in any horoscope, if Sun, Mercury and Moon, all three planets are in clutches of Rahu
–Ketu axis, then such person has to take medical treatment from a psychiatrist or a mental
doctor. In most of such cases it is proved that, they mostly all had to take medical treatment.
So many such examples can be cited. Readers are requested to apply these techniques in as
many charts as possible. Transit of Jupiter and Saturn on Rahu is proved to be a bit difficult
and afterwards, the cure starts for temporary psychological imbalances.
