Transits and natal references
Introduction
P.V.R. Narasimha Rao, B.Tech, M.S.
By transits or gochaara, we mean the motion of planets in the skies. By the tran
sit or chaara or
gochaara position of a planet, we mean the position occupied by a planet at a gi
ven time. By the natal
or radical or birth or janma position of a planet, we mean the position occupied
by a planet at the time
of ones birth.
By correlating the transit positions on a given day with the natal positions of
several reference points,
we can draw some conclusions about the nature of results experienced by the nati
ve on that given day.
Transits from Moon
The most popular natal reference in transit analysis is Moon. Moon is the signif
icator of mind and
analysis of planetary positions with respect to Moon shows the mental state. Dep
ending on the houses
occupied by transit planets with respect to natal Moon, they exert different inf
luences on ones mental
state. The transit of Vimsottari dasa lord is particularly important, because he
natal lagna may affect the vitality of the native and create obstacles in his ef
forts. On the other hand,
paaka lagna explicitly stands for the physical self and a malefic planet transit
ing in paaka lagna may
give bodily complaints. Similarly planets occupying or aspecting arudha padas in
transit may give
relevant results. For example, Saturns transit in A10 (arudha of the 10
th
house) can be bad for career,
Jupiters transit in A9 is good for fortune and so on.
Transits and Divisional Charts
Though the motivation for the approach described here comes from some principles
described in
classics, the actual approach is essentially based on this authors own researches
. This author heard
about Bhrigu transits, which correlate the transit positions in navamsa chart with
the natal positions
in rasi chart. However, he does not know much about the tradition of Bhrigu tran
sits to conclude
whether or not his findings are loosely related to that tradition.
Though this author prefers to teach only those approaches that have the sanction
of maharshis, he finds
this particular approach superior to most other techniques of transit analysis.
Moreover, this approach
does not violate any teachings of maharshis. This is also a fertile area for res
earch and deserves our
attention. Hence it will be covered here. However, readers are advised to keep i
n mind that what
follows is a product of the very limited intelligence of this author and hence p
rone to errors. Readers
are encouraged to question and to conduct further researches in this area.
We said that a planet occupying or aspecting a rasi in transit influences the ma
tters signified by
the houses and planets stationed in that rasi in the natal chart. For example, w
e said that Jupiter
transiting over Venus may give marriage. However, we know that navamsa is the ch
art that shows
marriage. So, is there any significance for Jupiters rasi chart transit over the
navamsa of Venus? In
other words, if Venus is in Cancer in navamsa, can Jupiter transiting in Cancer
in transit rasi chart
bring marriage?
We do not have different zodiacs for different divisional charts. All the divisi
onal charts use the same
zodiac. So Cancer in natal navamsa chart and Cancer in transit rasi chart are no
t different. They are
one and the same. If Jupiter transiting in Cancer can influence the house and pl
anets stationed in
Cancer in rasi chart, he should be able to influence the house and planets stati
oned in Cancer in
navamsa chart too [for example if Venus is there this signifies marriage]! We ca
n extend this logic to
all the divisional charts.
Rasi chart shows everything that exists at the physical level. Divisional charts
1)
In the Transit Rasi Chart above (see example 2 for Rasi D-1 chart) when does Jup
iter exactly transit
the Punya Sahama point (Fortune, good deeds etc.) after the date of 2
nd
April 2008 @ 10:44 am. The
computer calculations show that this occurs on the 31
th
August 2016.
Analysis: The 8
th
house (from birth Lagna) in the D-2 chart is occupied by malefics (Ma, Ju, Mo).
The
early adolescent life of the native was one of want, misfortune and eventual res
idence away from his
place of birth. The punya sahama prediction is that by 31 August 2016 the wealth
of Jupiter, benefic
Venus and Mercury in the 9th house from radical Lagna, is house of luck and fort
une and cause for
poorvapunya, or effects of good sanchita (seed) karma, taking fruition as kriyam
ana (future) karma.
These karmas will be expressed by intelligence, spiritual knowledge, devotion,
japa of mantras,
authority/power, fame, etc. So all the physical activites has the potent life.
Also from table on page 10, Jupiter in the 5

Transit (D-1)

Example for (2) :
In the 2
nd
part of above two-part principles, the D-2 transit search of the rasi chart (D1) for the Punya
Sahama point as by way of example, gives the potential in principle (1) now reve
aled as a realty in
principle (2) during the period 31 August 2016. A view of the chart reveals why
this is so. Jupiter and
Venus along with Mercury give wealth, luxuries and knowledge while salvation and
livng away from
birth place are represented by Ketu and Rahu, all in the 3
rd
house from radical Moon. Travels,
expenditure on house and vehicle and communication are indicated by this house d
uring 2016. the 4
th
house results should also be noted : vehicles, land, immovable property, relativ
es, wealth, comforts
and pleasures. However, the effects from planets from radial Moon sign on page 1
0 should also be
noted in particular, Jupiter and Saturn; they are obstructions in work and stoma
ch troubles.

Ashtaka Varga
Influence of transiting planets have to be understood only from the astaka varga
of the natal Moon and
of the planet concerned. If we ignore the two asktaka vargas (of the natal Moon
and the concerned
planet), the transit influences do not come out accurately. The luminaries and p
lanets transit all the
twelve signs in a sequence. Their placement from the natal Moon, natal lagna and
themselves gives
varying results at different times. These have to be noted carefully. Each plane

Summary:
Transit influences are always related to Ashtakavarga of the natal Mo and of the
planet concerned.
Transit effects are generally reckoned from the natal Mo.
Each planet transits all the twelve signs. Its influence varies from sign to si
gn.
The transit results of Ju and Sa are very powerful.
Sadesati - Sa transit in 12, 1, and 2 - comes once in thirty years. It is not
always harmful.
If it harms in the first period (0 - 30 years) , it harms only in the third p
eriod (= > 60 years ),
Basic Significators
Mundane astrology
In mundane charts, we can use arudha padas, divisional charts etc, but we have t
o re-interpret the
significations of various charts, houses and arudha padas judiciously. For examp
le, D-9 may show
relations with other nations and the role played in international polity. D-30 m
ay show internal
disturbances and violence. D-11 may show wars and terrorist activities. D-8 may
show unexpected and
sudden external troubles like natural calamities. D-10 may show political activi
ty. D-24 may show
universities, science, technology, arts, research and activities of intelligents
ia. Arudha lagna may show
how a nation is perceived in the world. A3 may shows its weapons. A6 may shows i
ts enemies. A7
may show its allies.

Planet Significance
Sun
When we find houses from Sun, we should look at matters related to soul, inheren
t nature, personality,
will power, expenses for bad causes, significator for the day-born and father. T
he Sun is seen in Vedic
thought as the buddhi or intellect.
Moon
Houses from Moon show mind, wisdom, peace, happiness, diseases (waning) and moth
er.
Mars
Houses from Mars show siblings, land and strength.
Mercury
Houses from Mercury stress on business, commerce, profession, friends, karaka fo
r the father in
general and good behavior. In psychology it is the indicator of buddhi (intellig
ence), mentality,
rationality and power of perception, as well as capacity in communication and sp
eech, thus also
relating to education. Mercury connects one with the communicational mind. Mercu
ry should be
examined along with the Moon and the 4
th
house in rasi.
Jupiter
Houses from Jupiter show the nourishment of body, learning, children, expenses
for good causes and
wealth. In psychology Jupiter relates to higher consciousness within the framewo
rk of the sadhanas,
includes Vedhanta philosophy or philosophy in general, and charitable acts. Jupi
ter connects one with
the soul. Jupiter should be examined along with the 5
th
house in rasi.
Venus
Houses from Venus show marriage, comforts, luxuries, vehicles, truthful speech,
eyes, mother for the
day-born, fortune, pilgrimages, expenditure, profit and loss and sexual pleasure
s.
Saturn
Saturn shows longevity, livelihood, gains, fortune, significator for the night-b
orn, brothers, partner,
fears, sadness, dangers and sorrows.
Rahu
Houses from Rahu show wickedness, emigrating , harsh speech, diseases, snakes, u
nclean body,
falsehood, gambling, an irreligious person, a sinful woman.
Ketu
Final salvation, renunciation, divine knowledge, prosperity, tapas, doctors, kno
wledge of Sastras,
diseases of eye, luxury, fortune, grandfather.

Functional Nature of Planets
We learnt that Jupiter, Venus, waxing Moon (Waning Moon is from the 8
th
day of dark fort-night, or
asthami Krishna Paksa, to 7
th
day bright fort-night, or saptami Sukla Paksa) of and well-associated
Mercury are natural benefics. We learnt that Sun, Mars, Saturn, Rahu, Ketu, wani
ng Moon and illassociated Mercury are natural malefics. In addition, we have the concept of fun
ctional benefics and
functional malefics.
The lords of trines from lagna are functional benefics {1, 5, 9}. The lords of
the papasthana houses {
3rd, 6th and 11
th
} are functional malefics. These Papasthana Bhavas -houses {3, 6, 11}- are male
fic
when occupied by benefics and this is how planets become functional malefics in
these houses. If
occupied by malefics they bring about favourable results.
The lord of a quadrant is a functional malefic if he is a natural benefic and fu
nctionally neutral if he is
a natural malefic. The lords of 2nd, 8th and 12th are functionally neutral. Of t
hese, the 8th house is
more malefic than the other two.
Planet owning a quadrant and a trine becomes a yogakaraka (excellent planet).
In the case of planets owning two rasis, we need to judiciously combine the two
indications. The list of
yogakarakas, functional benefics, functional neutrals and functional malefics fo
r each lagna is given in
table . Moon is not listed for movable rasis, because his functional nature depe
nds on whether he is
waxing or waning. Waxing Moon is a natural benefic and he becomes a functional m
alefic with
quadrant ownership. Waning Moon, on the other hand, is a natural malefic and qua
drant ownership
makes him functionally neutral.

A functional benefic is a favorable planet in a chart. Placement of a functional
benefic in quadrants
(sustenance) and trines (prosperity) brings good results. Placement of a functio
nal malefic in these
houses is not good, unless it is very strong. A functional malefic placed in the
3rd house and dusthanas
(6th, 8th and 12th houses) brings good results, by spoiling the significations o
f the bad houses.
A planet in a bhava-sandhi, is the point when one house ends and another begins,
is powerless.
Summary
The lords of trines from Lagna are functional benefics { 1, 5, 9 }.
The lord of the 8
th
house from a Bhava, the lord of the 22
nd
Drekkana from that cusp, and
those situated in the 6
th
, 8
th
and 12
th
houses (= Dusthana houses) from that Bhava are
likely to give malefic results as far as that Bhava (the dasa period) is concern
ed.
The lords of a Kendra (=1, 4, 7, 10 houses) is a Functional Malefic if he is a
natural
benefic and Functionally Neutral if he is a natural malefic.
The lords of the papasthana houses (=3, 6, 11) are Functional Malefics. Benef
ic planets in
the papasthana houses become Functional Malefics. Malefic planets in these house
s
become Functional Benefics (they will bring about favourable results).
Benefic planets in the trines and kendras of a bhava will bring about favourab
le results.
Natural malefic planets (Mars, Sun, Saturn, waning Moon) in these houses is not
good,
unless it is very strong (5 bindus or more or greater than the strength of the l
ords of those
houses.)
Lord of the Lagna- is both lord of a Quadrant and a Trine. It will give good r
esults
irrespective of its inherent nature. Planets are thus subservient to the Lagna.
If it is not
only the lord of the ascendant, but also of a malefic house like the 6
th
or 8
th
, its character
of a benefic remains because of its ownership of the 1
st
.
If a planet aspects or conjoins or owns HL and lagna, it becomes a yogada (giver
of yoga) in money
matters. If a planet aspects or conjoins or owns GL and lagna, it becomes a yoga
da in the matters of
power and authority. Irrespective of their functional nature, planets that becom
e yogada bring
goodluck. Similarly, planets involved in important yogas also bring good luck.
We should consider the inherent nature and the functional nature of planets. Whe
ther a planet is a
natural benefic or a natural malefic is analogous to whether a person is inheren
tly good or bad.
Whether a planet is a functional benefic or a functional malefic is analogous to
whether a person does
good or bad to one. Just as a nice person may harm one and a bad person may do g
ood, natural
benefics can become functional malefics and natural malefics can become function
al benefics.

Baadhakas
For a house falling in a movable/fixed/dual rasi, the 11th/9th/7th house (respec
tively) from there
becomes baadhaka sthaana (troubling spot). Its lord is called a baadhaka (troublem
aker) for the
original house. The list of baadhaka sthaanas and baadhakas corresponding to eac
h rasi is given in
Table 11.
For example, suppose lagna in someones D-10 is in Ge. Then Jupiter is baadhaka fo
r lagna. The
periods of Jupiter and planets in Sg can create some obstructions and troubles i
n career. Let us take
another house. Aq is the 9th house and the 9th house in D-10 shows the guidance
one gets in ones
career. It can show manager and elders giving guidance. Baadhaka sthana for Aq i
s Li. So the periods
of Venus and occupants of Li can create some troubles related to the guidance on
e gets. There may be
some troubles related to manager. Thus we can consider baadhaka from every house
and arudha pada
in every divisional chart.

Timing with Transits
Baadhaka
22
Kakshya For Closer Timing
Kakshya is used to pinpoint the exact timing of an event using the transits thro
ugh the signs/houses. If
Saturn is transiting a sign that has high (8) points/bindus, then you will want
to narrow it down to the
exact month within that 2 year period the good results will take place; noting t
hat Saturn remains in
a sign for 2 years. In figuring the Prastarchakra (table for each planet) each s
ign receives benefic
points from the 7 planets and the ascendant. Therefore there are divisions of 8
parts to a 30-degree
sign. Each division is called a kakshya and is assigned a ruler. Each kakshya is
approximately 3
degrees. From the beginning of a sign they start with Saturn the slowest moving
planet, and continue
on down to the fastest moving planet ending with the ascendant. The order for al
l the signs are the
same:
1.Saturn, 2. Jupiter, 3. Mars, 4. Sun, 5. Venus, 6. Mercury, 7. Moon, 8. Ascenda
nt.
The number of bindus/points in a sign, (Bhinnashtak) is the sum total of single
bindus/points
contributed by each planet. If a planet has contributed a point/bindu to Saturns
Bhinnashtak (totals)
then Saturn will produce a good result while passing through the Kakshya of the
planet that
contributed a bindu/point.
The transits through kakshyas applies to all the planets, but this application i
s more useful for the
slower moving planets. The average time a planet will transit a kakshya (3 degre
es) is listed,
retrograde motion can cause this to vary.
Saturn: 112 days
Jupiter: 45 days
Mars: 7.1 days
Sun: 3.8 days
Venus: 2.3 days
Mercury
Moon: 6.8 hours
Ascendant
Rahu/Ketu: 70.8 days
Principles of Kakshya Application
1. The karakas or indications for that planet: Sun-Father, Moon-mother, Mars-br
others, etc.
2. House the transit is transiting from Ascendant
3. Location from the kakshyas lords natal position to the planet in transit :
The number of houses from the natal planet to the transiting planet will give t
he results of the house that the
number relates to. Ex. 2 houses away-2
nd
house matters, 3 houses away- 3
rd
house matters etc.
Example: If it is nine signs away it will give 9
th
house qualities such as luck and fortune. If transiting
Saturn is in Sagittarius in the 6th kakshya of Mercury [Mercury is the 6
th
planet in the above order
and the 6
th
kakshya is 22.5/3.75=6 degrees as Sa is 22.5 degree longitude into Saggitarius
], and
Mercury has contributed a bindu/point to the sign Sagittarius this time will be
a fortunate or lucky
time. This is due in part to the 9
th
house influence since Mercury is natally in Aries and the sign
Saturn is transiting is Sagittarius; natal Mercury is nine signs away from trans
iting Saturn giving 9
th
house results viz. fortune and luck.
Goto: Example 1.

Important Points
The ashtakavarga points cannot give results that are not promised in the natal c
hart. Also the transits
cannot produce fabulous results if the dashas of that time do not condone it.
Ashtakavarga is for finely tuning the transits of the planets through the signs/
houses. The primary
importance of ashtakavarga is attributed to the house/sign the planet is located
, lordship is secondary.
A planet influences the house/sign to the degree that planet has contributed to
that house in its own
ashtakavarga (BAV).
Sadhe Sati
During this period that Saturn is approaching the Moon, either 12
th
, 1
st
or 2
nd
from the natal Moon
when Saturn enters a kakshya of a planet that has contributed a point to Saturns
ashtakavarga the
period will be favorable otherwise it will not. If the sarvastakavarga points (S
AV) are high above 33
the results will be good.
Goto: Example 2.
Dasha
Find the kakshya occupied by the dasha lord in the natal chart D-1. If the kaksh
ya lord has contributed
a bindu/point to the dasha lords ashtakavarga in the sign occupied by the lord in
the natal chart, then it
will produce good in this entire period.
Look to the dasha lords transit through the kakshya and if that planet has contri
buted a bindu/point in the sign
being transited from the natal chart there will be a good event.
Goto : Example 3.
SAV - Sarvashtakavarga (Samudaaya Ashtakavarga)
In addition to looking at the transit planets natal BAV, we should also look at t
he natal SAV
Samudaaya Ashtakavarga. If, for example, SAV has 40 bindus in Pisces, then it me
ans that Pisces is
very strong in the chart. Planets transiting in Pisces, tend to give good result
s irrespective of their
strength. Of course, if a planet with 6 bindus in Pi in its own BAV and a planet
with 2 bindus in Pi in
its own BAV are transiting Pi, the former planet will produce better results tha
n the latter planet.
Bindus in the individual BAVs of planets also matter, but SAV will dominate over
the BAVs if it has
too many or too few bindus.
Planets transiting in rasis with more than 28 bindu in SAV usually bring favorab
le results. Planets
transiting in rasis with less than 25 bindus in SAV usually bring unfavorable re
sults, e.g. danger or
sorrow, the intensity proportional to the no. bindus.
Timing with Sodhya Pindas
Parasara taught some techniques of timing events based on sodhya pindas. We can
take the number of
rekhas or bindus in any house from a planet and multiply the count with the plan
ets sodhya pinda. We
can get a nakshatra from that product by dividing it with 27, taking the remaind
er and counting
nakshatras from Aswini. Benefics and malefics transiting in the nakshatra will g
ive good or bad results
(respectively) relating to the original house. Especially Saturns transit is impo
rtant. Saturns
transit in the nakshatra corresponding to a particular house makes the signified
matters suffer.
Goto: Example 4
24
Jupiters transit is beneficial and important. Some people also take the 10th or 1
9th nakshatra
from the nakshtra found above. A nakshatra and the 10th and 19th nakshatras from
it are owned by the
same planet under Vimsottari dasa scheme and they go together.
We can also find a rasi by dividing the product with 12 instead of 27 and counti
ng rasis from Aries.
Saturns transit in the resultant rasi brings misfortune relating to the original
house. However,
nakshatras are more important.
When we want to time events relating to a particular matter, we should first fix
the relevant planet.
Then we should fix the relevant house. We should then find the number of rekhas
or bindus in that
house from that planet in that planets BAV. We should multiply it by the sodhya p
inda of the planet
(also called yoga pinda). By dividing the product with 27 or 12 and taking the r
emainder, we should
find the associated nakshatra or rasi. Then we can time key events based on the
transits in that
nakshatra and rasi.
For example, suppose we want to time the good and bad periods of a natives father
. Father should be
seen from Sun and the 9th house. We can take Suns BAV and find the number of bind
us in the 9th
house from Sun; the 9
th
house is chosen because one of its significance is righteousness, fortune, luck
.
Suppose Sun is in Aq. Suppose Suns BAV contains 5 bindus in Li (the 9th from Aq)
. Suppose Suns
sodhya pinda is 86. Multiplying 86 with 5, we get 430. If we divide 430 by 27, t
he quotient is 15 and
the remainder is 25. The 25th constellation is Poorvabhadrapada. So Saturns trans
it in
Poorvabhadrapada is bad for father and Jupiters transit in the same nakshatra is
good. Now let us find
the rasi. By dividing 430 by 12, we get a quotient of 35 and a remainder of 10.
So Saturns transit in
Cp (the 10th rasi of the zodiac from Aries) is bad for father and Jupiters transi
t in Cp is good.
Taras (Stars)
By Jyotisha Guru P.V.R. Narasimha Rao
Basic Tara Classification
We can count constellations from the constellation of natal Moon to the constell
ation occupied by a
planet in transit. Suppose natal Moon is in Makha and transit Moon is in Swaati.
Counting
constellations from Makha, we get (1) Maksha, (2) Poorva Phalguni, (3) Uttara Ph
alguni, (4) Hasta,
(5) Chitra and (6) Swaati. So Swaati is the 6th constellation from natal Moons co
nstellation. From
table 15 the 6
th
is in the group:
{6th, 15th, 24
th
, Saadhana Tara, Achievement (good) }; thus this transit is good for initiating
an event,
at this time, during the Moons transit of Swaati, given the birth chart.
Different constellations from the constellation of natal Moon stand for differen
t things, as shown in
Table 15. If a planet is in a bad tara in its transit, it cannot give its full r
esults. If dasa lord and
antardasa lord as per Vimsottari dasa are in bad taras, bad results can be expec
ted.

Rasi Gochara Vedha (Sign Transit Obstructions)
When a planet is transiting in a favorable house from natal Moon, it may be obstr
ucted by another
planet transiting in the vedha sthana (house of obstruction). In that case, the
planet cannot give its
good results. The vedha sthaanas of all good transits of all planets are listed
in Table 14.

it does good. But if at the same time there
is a planet in the 5
th

For the Su there is no vedha from Sa and vice-versa.
Me does not cause vedha to the Mo.
Vedha - Points of Obstruction summary:
Planets, when transiting from the natal moon, give good and bad results as per t
he normal rules of transits.
However, sometimes it so happens that a planet transiting a favorable house from
the natal moon, is unable to
give its normal good results due to obstructions of some other transiting planet
s in particular positions from the
natal moon.
For example, in the case of the sun, the sun gives you good results in the 3rd,
6th, 10th or 11th houses from the
natal moon. However, should there be a Vedha taking place for the sun, then the
sun is not able to give good
results. Therefore, the points of obstruction for the suns favorable result is 9t
h, 12th, 4th, and 5th; respectively.
Therefore, when the Sun is passing through a favorable point say, 3rd house from
the natal moon, if at the same
time any other planet is passing through the 9th house from the natal moon, then
the expected good result of the
sun may not come true. Vedha (obstruction) points for each planet are opposite t
he corresponding number of
good points shown in the table.
The table works backwards in a converse fashion. The numbers above the line are
houses of benefic transits of
the planet and the numbers below the line correspond as mentioned above. We can
also look at the numbers
below the line as houses of malefic transits of the planet, and the correspondin
g numbers above the line
represent the points of obstruction to the malefic transits. Conversely, if the
sun is passing through the 9th house
and at the same time, there is a planet in the 3rd house (all from the natal moo
n), the negative result of the sun is
obstructed, thereby canceling out the negative results.
There are two very important exceptions to the rules here. The transit relations
hip between the Sun and
29
Saturn, and the transit relationship between the Moon and Mercury are not applic
able to this Vedha
table of obstructions.
Understanding Vedha points gives insight into expected results due to planets tr
ansiting good houses unable to
show which is due to obstruction houses being occupied by other planets at the s
ame time.

Sarvatobhadra Chakra
From Jyotisha Guru Narasimha Rao-
vowels) + 20
(consonants) + 12 (rasis) + 28 (nakshtras) + 5 (tithis and weekdays) = 81.
Vedha: When a planet occupies a nakshatra, it causes vedha (obstruction) on the
contents of the
squares along 3 lines. We can draw one vertical or horizontal line and two cross
ward lines starting at
the nakshatra. Contents of the squares on the lines have vedha from the planet.
Example : Let us say Saturn is in Punarvasu. We see that Punarvasu is on the eas
tern border.
Drawing a horizontal line to the west from it, we see that the consonant h, rasi
Cn, vowel au, tithis
Bhadra (2nd, 7th, 12th, 17th, 22nd and 27th), weekdays Monday and Wednesday, vow
el am, rasi Sc,
consonant y and constellation Moola are on this line. So Saturn in Punarvasu cau
ses vedha on all
these.
Drawing a crossward line to the northwest from it, we see that the consonant k,
rasis Ta and Ar,
consonant d and constellation Poorva Bhadrapada are on this line. So Saturn in P
unarvasu causes
vedha on all these.
Drawing a crossward line to the southwest from it, we see that the consonant d (
alveolar), consonant m
and constellation Uttara Phalguni are on this line. So Saturn in Punarvasu cause
s vedha on all these.
There are some special principles:
(1) A planet in the first quarter of Krittika or the last quarter of Bharani ha
s vedha on the vowel
a which is in the northeastern corner. A similar thing applies to all the vowels i
n corners.
(2) If an vowel has vedha, its similar vowel (e.g. a and aa, i and ee, u and uu
) also has vedha from
the same planet.
(3) Some consonants are not covered in this chart. Planets in Ardra have vedha
on g, chh and ng
(nasal). Planets in Hasta have vedha on h, n (alveolar) and th (alveolar). Plane
ts in Poorvashadha have
vedha on dh (dental), ph and dh (alveolar). Planets in Uttara Bhadrapada have ve
dha on th (dental), jh
and nch (nasal).
(4) If a planet has vedha on one of the following pairs of consonants, it has v
edha on the other one
too: b & v; s & sh (palatal); kh & sh (alveolar); j & y; ng & tr.
33
Using Sarvatobhadra Chakra: We should find the following in the natal chart:
(1) the constellation occupied by Moon or any special tara
(2) the rasi occupied by lagna or any house of interest
(3) the first/prominent consonant and vowel in the natives name
(4) the tithi of birth (janma tithi) or a special tithi
(5) the weekday of birth (janma vaara)
We should study the vedha caused on these by different planets in their transit.
Vedha by benefics
(Moon, Mercury, Jupiter and Venus) is favorable and vedha by malefics (Sun, Mars
, Saturn, Rahu and
Ketu) is unfavorable. If several transiting benefics have simultaneous vedha on
several natal points
listed above, then good results may be expected. Malefics, on the other hand, gi
ve bad results.
In addition to considering janma nakshatra, we can consider special nakshatras r
elated to the matter of
interest. Suppose we want to find the transit results related to career. Then we
can take karma
nakshatra of natal chart [take the planets position in the D-10 chart and enter
them in the
Sarvatobhadra chart. See the vedhas on them for that day in yiur career] and see
the vedhas on it in
transit chart.
Similarly, we can take the tithi corresponding to the matter of interest. For ex
ample, we can take
karma tithi (lunar day of profession) instead of janma tithi when finding transit
results related to
career.
Karma tithi is a little different from normal tithi. To find karma tithi, we mul
tiply the difference
between Moons longitude and Suns longitude with 10 and reduce the product to a val
ue between 0
and 360 (by adding or subtracting multiples of 360). We divide it by 12 and add 1
to the quotient.
That gives a number between 1 and 30 [the lunar day] and that represents karma ti
thi. Karma tithi
changes 10 times as fast as normal tithi. Similarly dhana tithi (lunar day of weal
th) changes twice as
fast as normal tithi. We can find a tithi for several matters. The tithi relevan
t to the matter of interest
[the divisional charts from D-2 to D-60 ] should be used when finding vedha of t
ransiting planets on
tithis (Nanda, Bhadra, Jaya, Rikta and Poorna).
Let us take an example. If the 10th house, karma nakshatra [D-10 chart], karma t
ithi [the lunar day of
auspicious career growth] and janma vaara all have the vedha of a couple of tran
siting benefics, then
some good developments may take place in the natives career. If they have the ved
ha of a couple of
malefics (instead of benefics), then we can expect setbacks in the natives career
. In this manner, we
study the impact of transits on important tithis, janma vaara, important nakshat
ras and important
houses in natal chart. If just one natal reference has vedha from just one plane
t, we cannot make any
predictions. But, if 2-3 natal reference have vedha from a couple of benefic/mal
efic transit
planets, then we can be more confident. However, a prediction should be made onl
y if dasas and
Tajaka charts also show an event.

Sarvatobadra Principle:
Data:
Te natal point from te rai cart-2 (page 41) above are noted in te followi
ng lit:
The janma nakshatra in natal rasi chart is Rohini.
The natal lagna rasi is Saturn.
Rasi bhava significances from lagna are to be noted.
The first prominent vowel in name is v (va).
The natal tithi of birth is Shukla Ekadashi = Nanda
45
The natal janma vaara is Tuesday.
The special nakshatras (e.g. Naidhana which is 7
th
from janma nakshatra and means death or
suffering etc.) are to be noted
Drawing-Line Rules:
Mars, Jupiter, Mercury, Saturn and Venus move in all directions (i.e draw lines
: right, straight
or left)
When the above planets are retrograde then movement is always to the right.
Rahu and Ketu are always retrograde, movement is always to the right.
Sun and Moon movement is direct, therefore lines drawn always to the left.
Procedure :
(a) Enter the transit planets into each Savatobhadra chart (Sb) for the followi
ng interests:
daily transit as per request for an event timing.
o Note: daily transit calculation are from the Janma Nakshatra.
divisional charts (Career; Net Assets; Health; etc) for special interests.
o Note: Divisional chart calculations are from Janma Nakshatra.
(b) Draw the lines from the benefic planets in the Sb charts above and note the
good and bad
vedhas.
(c) Draw the lines for the malefic planets as in (b) above.
(d) Two benefic planets or two malific planets must cross a sign, a vowel, a vaa
ra, a tithi etc.,
before a vedha can be taken.
(e) Form the tables of good and bad vedhas:
(f) if there are more than 2-3 vedhas of each good and bad table, make a predic
tion as per the
point of interest in that SB chart.
Suppose we want to find if the timing is auspicious for native of chart-2 above
for the laying of
a slab for the foundation of a temple being built in Nelspruit, SAFR, at 0900hrs
on Friday 7
th
December 2007.

Data Table: Janma Nakshatra = Rohini (chart-2)
Conclusion:
These are the Malefic Vedhas :
Saturn crosses Sun in Saggitarius; the 8
th
house from the natal Moon is house of instability,
unexpected troubles etc. vedha = 1
Total Malefic= 1
These are the Benefic Vedhas:

Example (17)
If the star occupied by the Sun at the time of a transit 13/12/2007 in chart be
low happens to be the
Vedha star (Naidhana Nakshatra) to the natal star (Janma Nakshatra), there will
be apprehension of
danger to life.
If the Adhana Nakshatra (19
th
from Janma Nakshatra) there will be fear and anxiety.
If to the Karma Nakshatra (10
th
from Janma Nakshatra) loss of wealth.
If the Sun in the above position be associated (conjunction within 6-degrees)
with a malefic, death has to be expected.
1. The Vedha star to Janma Nakshatra in Rohini is the 7
th
constellation called Naidhana
Nakshatra and this is Magha. The Sun is in Jyestha so there is no danger to the
natives
life on this transit day.
2. The Adhana Nakshatra is the 19
th
from Janma Nakshatra; the 19
th
from Rohini is
Shravana; the Sun is in Jyeshtha, thus no effect to cause fear and anxiety.
3. The 10
th
from Janma Nakshatra is the Karma Nakshatra; this is Hasta, the 10
th
from
Rohini. The Sun is in Jyestha so there is no loss of wealth on this day.
Conclusion: this day appears auspicious for activity, gain of wealth and a healt
hy mindset.

Analysis :
(1) The wife (B.B.) natal divisional chart for children (D-7) is above left. He
r Rasi chart is right and
has her Ascendant in Taurus. Her transit rasi chart for Jupiter 0:0 degrees in t
he 9
th
house Makara
from her birth Lagna is below:
Note- the date is : 09/12/2008 and the time is : 17:46:38 the height of her pote
ntial fertility.
Children, childlessness, and adoption are found within the lords of 2, 5, and 1
1 houses from
the As. Also in the case of women the 9
th
house has to be considered this is the house of
children for women if Ju is positied there. The 5
th
house is the house of children for men
if Ju is also posited there. We also have to consider the lord of Lagna as well
as Ju. The
weakness of these houses can bring about the loss or denial of children.
51
Principle (1)
Is the 9
th
house, signifying children for women, strong? Note the ashtakavarga of the hous
es SAV
(Sarvashtakavarga). It is 35 bindus a very strong house. What is Jupiter contrib
ution to that score ? It is a 7 out of
8 bindus in the BAV-transit D-1 chart. This is also very strong, but Venus is a
weak 4 bindus. Rahu and Venus is
in a bad conjunction and the Vimshottari Dasa is MD: Rahu: 10/12/2007- 10/12/202
5 and antardasa Rahu/Rahu :
10/12/2007 23/08/2010 is a bad period as Rahu destroys health, or in this case f
ertility. Nevertheless a strong
Jupiter and a strong house in the 9
th
will bear her children in this maximum period of fertility; but prayers to Rahu
in the Navagraha temple are needed.
Principle (2)
The natal rasi chart (D-1) and a transit divisional chart D-7 is found from the
Jh 7.4 Program Search
(www.vedicastrologer.org/jh) for Transit of Jupiter 0:0 degrees into the 9
th
house from the lagna of this chart;
the Lagna is in Taurus so Jupiter is to transit Capricorn. This gives the same d
ate and time 9/12/ 2008 : 17:46:38
because it is the same zodiac and in this case the Ascendant in the transit divi
sional chart of D-7 remained the
same.
Analysis
Jupiter in the 9th is as before in principle (1). Only the SAV and BAV charts ha
ve changed strength in principle
(2). The house occupied by the significator of children Jupiter is only 21 bindu
s strong, but Jupiter is a strong 5
bindus in this house. As before Rahu is the spoiler of passion, conjunct with Ve
nus. The Dasa periods are the
same and in this fine timing of her events Rahu must still be propitiated.
Note: the devotee is expecting her first child during the year 2009!

Analysis
Principle (1) is course timing of events and give potential results.
Principle (2) is fine timing of events and give predictable actual
results.
The husbands charts show that he is not compatable with the
wifes fertility periods as his date of maximum fertility in 2017.
His Jupiters BAV in the 5
th
however is a strong 6 bindus and the
SAV of that house is a good 28 bindus. Note in rasi his Jupiter is
in the 10
th
house of careers. His incessant work, even taken home,
is perhaps unbalancing his doshas where his sukra dhatu is
compromised. This passion is evident by Venus aspect of Jupiter
from the 7th in rasi. Jupiter in the 8
th
from D-7 lagna shows
incapacity for children and ailments. The late date of 2017
however can be changed if he changes his domestic life style.
Worship is key to early success. Say the Abhilasastaka Mantra.

Hessonite (Gomedh) 6 ratis in silver on the ring finger
Say thrice daily the Abhilasastaka Mantra and Purusha Sukta, for one-year.
Rice mixed with black gram and Kalhara flowers at the feet of Rahu in the Navag

Principle:
Jupiter the planet of wealth etc. and Mercury the planet of commerce,
business etc. are the major grahas that have the effect on the point of
interest divisional chart D-4 viz. Assets and Wealth. When Guru
aspects Budha the native can expect from that period on to have good
assets, the building-up to wealth. The 9
th
house from the ascendant is
fortune, the 10
th
is exports and foreign trade. When Mercury is there
check when Jupiter aspects Mercury (from 1
st
, 5
th
, 7
th
and 9
th
) and the
Astakavarga strength of the house. See if the Dasa period is favourable
at this time.
Male-Spouse:
In the Muhurtha chart above for 2008-07-06, Jupiter aspects Mercury from the 7
th
in Saggitarius. And
can expect to have some assets and wealth. There are no malefic planets in the t
ransit Muhurtha chart
to destroy Mercurys position. The Ashtakavarga strength where Mercury is depositi
ed is 31 bindusvery strong, but Mercury only contributes 4 out of 8 bindus to that total. Merc
ury yields moderate
strength to commerce, while Jupiter is in a strong house of 29 bindus and contr
ibutes a strong 5
bindus out of 8 to this bhava. Thus it can be predicted that the Muhurta date of
2008-07-06 is a good
starting period for wealth and accumulation of assets. However in the Dasa peio
d of Moon/Rahu,
Rahu is the enemy of the Moon and this period ends on 2009-10-10. The Moon is th
e mind and Rahu
is the spoiler. Caution is advised until the period ends. Poor decisions influen
ced during this period
could destroy wealth. One must be on guard with ones expenses. The next Moon/Jup
iter period starts
thereafter. These are two powerful planets which yield much wealth and resulting
accumulation of
assets.

Principle
The house for Educational institutions and students is the 4

Analysis
In rasi D-1 , the 10

house from radical Lagna. This
house yields communication skills, journalism and the media. The Moon mapped in
the 9
th
from D-1
Lagna is in the house of Ananda or Divine Grace. This godly house gives righteou
sness or Dharma to
her cause in career choice.
Since the D-10 chart was cast when the native is still a girl of only thirteen y
ears, when will Jupiter be
in a good house, for the start of her learning towards a career in teaching?
Cast the Muhurta D-1 chart by moving Jupiter into the 4
th
house of educational institutions and note in
the D-10 chart where Jupiter lies in relation to the radical lagna. Test the str

planets in the SAV and BAV charts. Test for vedha obstructions to these planets,
if none they can give
their good effects.
The Muhurta time for start of possible study in an educational institution to be

2012-5-17. But Jupiter is in the 12
th
the house of loss in D-10. Mercury is in the auspicious 9

lagna. Are these houses and planets strong enough to give good results? What is
the Vimshottari Dasa
period? Is it good or bad ? Can a parent recommend Teaching as a career? What wo
uld be a good
career choice based on this chart?

Results
In the 2010 transit D-10 chart above Guru is in the 12

obstruction; Kuja is a weak 2 bindus and no vedha; Budha is a strong 6 bindus an
d no vedha; Chandra
in Vrishabha is an average 4 bindus and no vedha.The SAV chart gives the house o
f Makara a weak
23; Vrishabha a weak 26 and Tula a strong 32 bindus. The Vimshottari Dasa perio
d is Saturn/Rahu
1996-2015. The antardasas are Mercury and Venus in 2012 and Mercury as noted is
conducive to
professions, business and commerce; Venus, gives luxuries and comforts.
Mercury can give its results to the career of Teaching while Venus is expressing
passion. Jupiter
though strong is in a house of loss from the birth lagna and the Moon is an aver

Conclusion: after a struggle to learn this profession she can succeed.

Chart of a Brahmin with an Alcohol Addiction:-
A devout Brahmin living in the Householders Ashrama has a trouble with spirit al
cohol. In rasi D-1
malefic Sun in a watery sign-is controled by the 2
nd
house - speech, eyes, mouth, face and family.
Shani in Pisces- a watery sign is in a Kendra to his birth lagna in Gemini. Jupi
ter the lord of this
watery sign is in lagna (in conjuction with malefic Mars) and aspects the Moon.
His mind is fixed on
watery substances and Surya and Shani cause his dependence on spirit alcohol whi
ch effect the body
parts above. His D-9 chart taken from his birth chart reveals his dependency on
several key grahas and
the resulting abuse of spirit whiskey to himself and his family.
Guru is in the 12
th
house to radical lagna this is a house of loss to the physical graha Jupiter.
Shani aspects Guru and brings dangers and sorrows to his physical body. Jupiter
is the
nourishment of the body. But when aspected by the want and negating effects of S
ani this
causes the nourishment of Guru to turn sour and act as an intoxicant.
Rahu is conjunct with malefic Ravi and aspects Chandra-the mind in the Navamsa
chart. Rahu
is a spoiler of will-power. The Sun represents will-power and he is with Rahu. T
hey also
aspects the Moon or mind of the native from the powerful 7
th
. This breaks down resistance and
Shani has his way with Guru creating demand for non-nourishing substances with a
lowered
will-power and mind, the negation of nourishing substances that Guru signifys. T
hus there is a
want for alcohol. Rahu, Shani, and Ravi must be pacified and worshipped in the N
avagraha
Temple.

Commentary (Bhashya):
Transits on a chosen day when correlated with natal reference points like the Mo
on or natal Lagna can
cause auspicious or inauspicious events. The moon is mind and references to ones m
ental state can
be used to draw conclusions about special interests on a projected day.
The divisional charts are essential special interest tools. They catagorise area
s of interest. Thus one
should use the reference point depending on the required outcome, be it towards
ones personality or
be it towards ones mental disposition.
The Vedic astrologer should decide which reference point gives the best physica
l results. The natal
divisional D chart is overlapped by placing a transit in the required position. Fo
r example:
For children the 5
th
from Ascendant with Jupiter deposited is for the male native and the 9
th
with
Jupiter is for the female native. In the natal divisional health chart, Rahu is
placed in the 8
th
and 12
th
positions and then the required planet of disease aspects the overlapped Muhurta
chart. The
Ashtakavarga in all cases is of the special interest D-divisional chart and not
the natal (Rasi, D-1) chart
if the results are to come out right. From the ascendant or the Moon of the spec
ial interest D-chart ,
place the overlapped transit and find the strength of the house and the strength
of the planet in that
house. The strength of the transit is determined to be good, medium or bad. The
strength from the
Ashtakavarga charts and the Vimshottari dasa period is used to validate the resu
lts. Finally find if the
planet has a vedha. Vedhas cancel the good or bad effects of a planet.
68
In summary, the Ashtakavarga of transiting planets, the SAV and BAV charts of t
he houses and the
planets use the rule of twenty-eight or more bindu points and up to eight bindu
points respectively, to
determine the strength of houses and transit planets. Two references : natal La
gna and natal Moon are
used depending on the special interest.
The Sarvatobhadra chart is another very useful tool it correlates transiting pl
anets to their vedhas
points for overall transit effects on a specific day. The result may be benefic
or malefic. The rule of
two or more planetary crossings to give a vedha in the Sarvatobhadra chart ensur
es good predictive
results.
Vedic Jyotisha is a divine science, a Vedanga of the Vedas and is to be taken se
riously.
If used according to the rules one can enhance the natives life, give peace of m
ind, and set him or her
on the right path, given the results and remedies from their janma rasi.
Om Nama Sivaya.
Dasa Principles
In predicting events in a Dasa a Bukti or still in an Antardasa, the general res
ults due to the planet
should be weighed and incongruous results, whenever they occur, should be avoide
d. The result
should be consistent with the person for whom it is intended, under the conditio
n of life in which he is
brought up as well as the physical possibility at the time. For instance politic
al success may be
predicted in the Dasa of the Sun, if he is in Aries in the 10
th
house. This political success will be at its
maximum provided the Sun is not aspected by malefics and his position is equally
strong in the
Navamsa. If the Sun is aspected by Saturn who may be in Aquarius, then in spite

Nakshatra Dasas :
Vimsottari dasa
Events of the Mind Vimsottari dasa is the most popular dasa system among Vedic astrologers of today
. Sage Parasara
mentions in Brihat Parasara Hora Sastram that this dasa system is the most suitabl
e dasa system in
Kali yuga.
Vimsottari means 120. Vimsottari dasa is a dasa system where the total duration
of the dasa cycle is
120 years. Dasas of different planets are for different number of years, but the
sum of all dasas is 120
years.
In Kali yuga, paramaayush (maximum longevity) of human beings is supposed to be
120 years.
Consequently, Vimsottari dasa is the most suitable dasa in Kali yuga.
When to Use Vimshottari dasa:
o A person born in the dark fortnight must have his lagna in the hora of the Su
n;
o A person born in the bright fortnight must have his lagna in the hora of the
Moon.
Dasas are reckoned here based on the constellation occupied by Moon. There are o
ther variations that
are more applicable in some cases. Many contemporary Vedic astrologers ignore th
ese variations and
always reckon dasas from the lord of the constellation occupied by Moon. However
, this may not
result in the best predictions always. In this book, we will look at some of the
variations.
Vimsottari Dasa Variations
From Jyotish Guru P.V.R. Narasimha Rao, BTech., M.S.
Computation of Variations
We always compute the fraction left at birth in the first dasa based on the frac
tion of the constellation
occupied by Moon, that is yet to be traversed by Moon. However, we need not alwa
ys take the lord of
Moons constellation as the planet ruling the first dasa. We can take the lord of
the 4th, 5th or 8th
constellation from Moons constellation to start the first dasa. These 3 stars are
called kshema, utpanna
72
Ashtottari dasa
Events related to sustenance, achievements, raja yogas and moksha Ashtottari dasa is perhaps the most popular dasa system in India after Vimsottar
i dasa. Sage Parasara
listed it as a conditional dasa applicable only in some charts. The conditions f
or its applicability are
highly controversial.
In this system, the sum of all dasas is 108 years. Ashtottari means ashtottara sa
ta, i.e. one hundred
and eight. Because poornaayush (full life) of a man is 108 years, some scholars
have suggested that
ashtottari dasa is best used as an ayur dasa, i.e. a dasa that shows longevity.
Some ot
and the
shows e
do). So
Kalachakra dasa
Life Events Sage Parasara said in his classic Brihat Parasara Hora Sastram:
It means, there is another dasa called Kalachakra dasa, which is the most respect
able of all dasa
systems. Kalachakra literally means the wheel of Time. It shows how the wheel of ti
me unfolds
events in the life of an individual. Parasara said that Lord Shiva explained thi
s dasa to Goddess
Parvati.
Note: Sage Sri Mantreswara said: Kalachakra dasa system has to be resorted to onl
y when the
lord of the navamsa occupied by the Moon is strong.
Basics
Dasa of a rasi gives the natural results of the rasi. For example, dasa of Pisce
s may give sattvik
religious activities. Dasa of Aries may give enterprise or quarrels or wounds.
More importantly, dasa of a rasi gives the results of the house and planets in t
hat rasi. If Aries
has the 5th house in D-7 [i.e. Aries is the 5
th
house from D-7 lagna], its dasa may give children. If
Pisces has the 8th house in D-6, its dasa may give diseases. If
Gemini has lagna in D-24, its dasa may give all-round progress in the accumulati
on of knowledge. If
Sc has AL in D-10 and its lord Mars occupies it, its dasa may bring good develop
ments related to
career and status. Dasa of a rasi containing the 8th from AL in D-10 may give a
fall in status at
workplace. Dasa of a rasi may also give the results of its lord. If Mars is in t
he 5th house in D-7, Aries
dasa may give children.
Samudaaya Ashtakavarga (SAV) plays an important role in deciding the results in
a dasa. If a rasi has
too many or too few bindus in SAV of a particular divisional chart, then its das
a may bring favorable
or unfavorable results, respectively, relating to the significations of that hou
se in that divisional chart.
Usually dasas of rasis with 30 or more bindus in D-10 SAV bring the best phases

Conclusion
Kalachakra dasa was called the most respectable dasa of all dasas by Parasara. The
re are many
controversies regarding its computation. This book follows the approach that thi
s author found the
most acceptable based on his study of Brihat Parasara Hora Sastram and his practic
al researches. A
significant percentage of this authors successful long-range life-phase predictio
ns were made
using Kalachakra dasa and that is his favorite dasa.
When we learn a new dasa, the first question we should ask is when should it be a
pplied and what
results should be seen in it. It is illogical to use 10 different dasas interchan
gably. Mixing up various
dasas without knowing the subtle differences between them results in vague expla
nations. An
intelligent astrologer will realize that different dasas are good at showing dif
ferent kinds of events.
Even when different dasas show the same event, they show it from different angle
s and focus on
different aspects of the same event. Without appreciating this, one cannot under
stand why maharshis
described tens, if not hundreds, of dasa systems.
Hence it is important to learn when a dasa can be applied and what kind of resul
ts it shows. Some
authors suggested that Kalachakra dasa applies only when Moon is stronger in nav
amsa chart than in
rasi chart. However, this author opines that Kalachakra dasa is applicable to al
l people, as Parasara did
not impose any conditions on its applicability and went to the extent of calling
it the most respectable
dasa.
75
Kalachakra Dasa is primarily used for determining the timing of deat
h, and of physical
afflications and difficulties of different sorts. The focus in Kalachak
ra dasa is state of the
inner self and the sense of connectedness in ones mind. It shows how connected o
ne is with
respect to the events in ones life. [compassion, humility, empathy for others, se
eing ones Self
as the Self in all ]
Difference Between Nakshatra and Rasi Dasas
Nakshatra division of the zodiac is ruled by Moon and it shows the mental level
.
o Thus Vimsottari dasa throws light on the state of the natives mind as time pro
gresses.
It focuses on mind. Vimsottari dasa is based on the nakshatra of Moon.
Rasi division of the zodiac is ruled by Sun and it shows the physical level.
o Narayana dasa shows the progress of lagna in ones life and it shows the direct
ion
taken by ones life. The focus is no longer on mind, but it is
on the real happenings. Of course, ones mental state directly depends on the dire
ction
taken by ones life and the real happenings in ones life. In that sense, Vimsottari
dasa and
Narayana dasa show the same events. But the focus is different.
Kalachakra dasa depends on Moons navamsa. Navamsa (D-9) shows ones adherence of dh
arma or
duty and throws light on the inner self. So the focus in Kalachakra dasa is stat
e of the inner self
and the sense of connectedness in ones mind. It shows how connected one is with r
espect to the
events in ones life. For example, a political leader may be running D-10 Narayana
dasa of a
yogakaraka rasi and he may land political power. He may be running the Vimsottar
i dasa of Sun who
may be exalted in D-10 and so he may be feeling powerful. However, if Kalachakra
dasa of a weak
and afflicted house in D-10 runs at the same time, his inner self may not feel c
onnected with the events
in his career and he may feel a void. On the other hand, if Kalachakra dasa rasi
is strong and occupied
by benefics in D-10, then one may be successfully involved in activities that ke
ep his inner self
engaged.
Narayana dasa specializes in showing what happens in ones life;
Vimsottari dasa specializes in showing how ones mind views what happens in ones
life; and,
Kalachakra dasa specializes in showing how one relates to what happens in ones
life and
how connected one feels. It shows the inner motivation behind what happens.
These three are the most important of all general purpose phalita dasas.
Different dasas do not provide different alternatives that can be used interchan
geably to understand
what happens in ones life, but they provide different angles or vantage points to
view the same
kaleidoscope that life is.
76
Rasi Dasas
Narayana dasa
Life from the Lagna Narayana dasa is a very important rasi dasa. It is a phalita dasa. It shows gene
ral results. Narayana
dasa is computed differently for different divisional charts and we can use Nara
yana dasa of a
divisional chart to predict matters related to that divisional chart.
Narayana dasa is based on the progression of lagna in ones life. As one dasa ends
and another starts,
one rasi stops being the progressed lagna and another rasi becomes ones progresse
d lagna. Using the
progressed lagna as the reference, we find out the events that happen in that da
sa. Thus we get twelve
charts for each person, with each chart applicable in one dasa.
Narayana dasa gives the progression of lagna in life. During the dasa of a rasi,
that rasi acts as
lagna. If dasas are started from the 7th house from lagna, then Narayana dasa gi
ves the
progression of the 7th house. So the 7th from dasa rasi gives the progressed lag
na, i.e. the rasi that
acts as lagna during the dasa.
Treat the dasa rasi or the 7th from it based on whether dasas start from lagna
or the 7th house
as lagna and analyze the chart, to see fortune in a dasa. We will denote it with
dasa lagna.
We will denote the rasi containing the lord of dasa lagna with paaka rasi.
Just as the strength of lagna lord is very important in a natal chart, strength
of the lord of dasa lagna is
the key to interpreting a dasa. In addition, a lot of principles were mentioned
by Parasara:
Natural malefics in the 3rd and 6th from dasa lagna give success in ventures. N
atural benefics
in those houses give failures.
Natural benefics in trines and 8th from dasa lagna give happiness and success.
Natural
malefics in those houses give failures, obstructions and unhappiness.
Situation of a planet benefic or a malefic in the 11th house ensures gains.
Rahu in the 8th and 12th houses from dasa lagna gives constant fear.
If the lord of dasa lagna or the lord of a trine or a quadrant from it is exalt
ed or in own house, it
gives excellent results.
If the lord of a dusthana {6, 8, 12 } from dasa lagna is debilitated, it gives
good results.
If the 4th house from dasa lagna has malefics, there will be discomfort and lac
k of happiness.
Benefics in the same house give happiness, well-being and pleasures.
Benefics in the 2nd and 5th houses from dasa lagna give good name, fame and fav
ors from
authorities. Malefics in the same houses bring bad results in the same areas.
If the 7th house from dasa lagna and paaka rasi is afflicted by malefics, there
may troubles in
marriage.
Raja yogas and dhana yogas with respect to dasa lagna bring success.
If dasa lagna or paaka rasi is associated with an exalted planet or a planet in
own house, there
will be all-round success and accumulation of wealth in that dasa.
In addition to interpreting dasas taking dasa lagna as lagna, we can interpret d
Sudasa
Wealth Sudasa is a rasi dasa. It is also called Sree Lagna Kendradi Rasi Dasa or simply Ra
si Dasa. Its
computation is based on kendras etc from Sree Lagna.
Sudasa is important for materialistic things like money, power and authority. I
t can be
used to predict financial matters and matters related to status and power.
If a political leader occupies a post of power, he must be enjoying a favorable
dasa as per Sudasa. If a
businessman sees increasing profits, he must be enjoying a favorable dasa as per
Sudasa. If someone
struggles with tight finances, he must be going through an unfavorable dasa as p
er Sudasa.
o Eg: in Visvesvaran chart D-10, the tenth house (Le) contains SL and Ma. That
period for the
fruits of ones work and wealth will only occur in the period of Leo 2016-2023. I
n a past period,
the 7
th
house in D-10 shows long journeys. These work activities actually took place in
several
countries during the period of Ta : 1996-2004.
Interpretation
Dasas of HL, 7th from HL and the signs aspecting HL bring financial prosperity.
If the lord of the dasa sign occupies or aspects HL, it will improve the chance
of financial
prosperity.
o Eg: continuing with above D-10 chart, the dasa of HL in Li is the period 1990
-1993. This was
a time of enjoying wealth brought by past business activities; Exalted Venus asp
ects the house
where HL is located in Li. Many luxuries were experienced during this time.
78
Similarly, if the lord of HL occupies or aspects dasa sign, it will also impro
ve the chances
of financial prosperity.
o For example, say HL is in Aries, Mars is in Leo and Sun is in Scorpio. Then (
a) Leo
aspects HL, (b) lord of Leo aspects HL and (c) lord of HL occupies Leo. So Leo d
asa is
triply likely to bring financial prosperity.
Same thing holds for GL and the prescribed results are power and authority inst
ead of financial
prosperity.
o Eg: Note again the D-10 chart of rasi, where GL is in Cancer, occupied by Mo
and
exalted Ju. The period of Cn 1993-1996 was one of business ownerships!
Upachayas from any house stand for the growth of matters signified by that hous
e. AL stands
for ones status. So dasas of upachayas from AL bring growth of status.
o Dasa of the 11th house from AL is particularly favorable.
The 8th and 12th houses from AL bring setbacks to ones status. Their dasas can b
e
unfavorable.
Important Notes
Sree lagna is the residence of Lakshmi in a natal chart.
Sudasa sign is the residence of Lakshmi at a given time.
It shows what area of life prospers. For example, Lakshmi coming in contact with
Jupiter or
5th house or 5th lord may bring the blessings of Santhana Lakshmi and bring the
well-being of
progeny. Lakshmi coming in contact with Sun or 5th lord may bring the blessings
of Rajya
Lakshmi and bring power. Lakshmi coming in contact with Ketu or 12th house or 12
th lord
may bring the blessings of Moksha Lakshmi and bring spiritual activities. And so
on.
o Eg: Sree Lagna in the Visvesvaran chart D-10 is in Leo on 11 March 2008. When
will Ketu
transit Leo and occupy this house? Using Search for Transit in Jagganatha Hora com
puter
program Ketu is in Leo on 29 October 2024! Note: exalted Saturn, the planet of w
ant and
longevity is with Ketu and SL at this time aspects Leo from Kumbha. Based on the
se
parameters, Self-Realisation is possible.
Narayana dasa is based on the progression of lagna and it shows the changing ph
ysical
environment that the native is placed under.
Vimsottari dasa is based on the progression of Moon and it shows the changing m
ental situation
Sudasa is based on the progression of Sree Lagna, which is based both on lagna
and Moon. It
shows prosperity, which is partly physical/real and partly mental/perceptive!
79
Drigdasa
Spiritual Awakening Drigdasa is a rasi dasa. Drik means vision and drigdasa is a dasa based on aspec
ts. It shows how
spiritual vision develops in a native and steers ones life. If a natives chart pro
mises spiritual growth,
this dasa shows religious and spiritual activities and the evolution of ones soul
.
Interpretation:
(1) Dasa of arudha lagna can bring renunciation if there are parivraja yogas in
the chart, indicating
renunciation.
(2) Dasas of signs aspecting arudha lagna can bring external activities that ar
80
Shoola dasa
The dasa called Shoola dasa is used for timing death. It shows death, diseases,
suffering and death of
relatives.
Interpretation
Like in Niryana Shoola dasa, dasa of a Trishoola rasi can bring death. Because t
he 2nd and 8th rasis in
the natural zodiac are owned by Mars and Venus, rasi aspect on either of them by
Moon generates
Rudra yoga and rasis aspected by Rudra yoga planets can give death.
AL or the trines from it can give death. If malefics or marakas occupy or aspec
t the 3rd from
AL or the 8th from AL, those 2 houses can give death.
Lagna and 7th house both show the self of a person. They stand for the invisibl
e and visible
selves. Niryaana Shoola dasa starts from the 8th house from one of them.
Niryaana Shoola dasa essentially shows the progress of the 8th house. It shows t
he motion of praana
(life). That is why it has an uneven motion. It goes forward in some charts and
backward in some
charts. Also the lengths of dasas can be 7, 8 or 9 years. All this shows that di
fferent people have
different motion of praana. When praana reaches Shivas Trishoola or a powerful ma
raka rasi, the
native can die. In Shoola dasa, however, the motion has a constant rate of 9 yea
rs per dasa and the
order of dasas is always fixed. This fixed motion is like the motion of a quartz
crystal. It is not the
motion of praana and it must be a universal motion. It is suggested that Shoola
dasas show the force of
Lord Shiva. The force of Lord Shiva starts from ones self and moves at a constant
rate in a fixed
direction. So Shoola dasa rasi hitting Trishoola rasis is less significant than
Niryaana Shoola dasa rasi
hitting Trishoola rasis.
In the case of Shoola dasa, death occurs when Shivas motion hits AL or the trine
s from it or
the houses of vitality from AL (3rd and 8th).
AL is involved instead of lagna, because our existence is a maya (illusion) an
d what Lord
Shiva destroys is the illusion of our existence. The physical body (lagna) simpl
y merges with
the material universe, when burnt or buried, and the perceived self or the maya
of existence
(AL) is what is completely destroyed by Lord Shiva.
Lesson: Niryaana Shoola dasa shows the motion of praana (life). Death occurs whe
n praana hits
maraka rasis and the trines from Rudra (Trishoola rasis). Shoola dasa is the rev
erse. It shows the
motion of Shiva. Death occurs primarily when Shivas motion hits the trines from A
L or the 3rd house
from AL or the 8th house from AL.
We have listed several rasis above. How do we choose one answer from the list? T
81
Death of Near Relatives
Shoola dasa shows Shivas punishment. It shows misfortune, suffering and death. Us
ing it, death of
near relatives can also be timed.
For each relative, we treat the house that shows him/her as lagna and find Shool
a dasa based on it.
Shoola dasa starts from the stronger of that rasi and the 7th from it. We have d
ifferent names for
Shoola dasas started from different houses. For example:
Pitri Shoola dasa (pitri = father) starts from the stronger of 9th and 3rd hous
es. It is used in the
timing of fathers death.
Bhratri Shoola dasa (bhratri = brother) also starts from the stronger of 3rd an
d 9th houses and
it shows the death of younger siblings.
Matri Shoola dasa (matri = mother) starts from the stronger of 4th and 10th hou
ses.
Dara Shoola dasa (dara = wife) starts from the stronger of 7th and 1st houses a
nd it shows the
death of wife (this dasa will be identical to the natives normal Shoola dasa).
Putra Shoola dasa (putra = son) starts from the stronger of 5th and 11th house
s and it shows
the death of a child.
We mentioned earlier that sthira karakas are useful in timing death. Sthira kara
ka of father represents
father in a chart, for the purpose of matters controlled by Shiva (i.e. sufferin
g and death). Pitri Shoola
dasa shows the motion of Shivas force for the father. When Shivas force strikes tr
ines from sthira
karaka of father, fathers death can take place. Trines from the corresponding aru
dha pada can also
give death.
Other Dasas
Moola dasa
Moola means root. Moola dasa shows the root cause of the events. It is the link be
tween the events
of current life and the past life (which is the root cause of events). At the ti
me of Varahamihira and
Kalyana Verma, this was a very popular dasa system.
If a planet shows sins in past life (shashtyamsa, D-60), his Moola dasa in this
life may give
punishment for those sins. If a planet shows learning in a specialized subject i
n past life, the native
may learn that subject relatively easily in that planets Moola dasa in this life.
And so on.
This is a very sacred dasa and should not be abused.
82
Rasi Dasas
Narayana dasa ( D-1 chart)
Narayana dasa is a very important rasi dasa. It is a phalita dasa. It shows gene
ral results (such as
effort and environment). Narayana dasa is computed differently for different div
isional charts and
we can use Narayana dasa of a divisional chart to predict matters related to tha
t divisional chart.
Narayana dasa is based on the progression of lagna in ones life. As one dasa ends
and another
starts, one rasi stops being the progressed lagna and another rasi becomes ones p
rogressed lagna.
Using the progressed lagna as the reference, we find out the events that happen
in that dasa. Thus
we get twelve charts for each person, with each chart applicable in one dasa.
Navamsa dasa
Navamsa dasa is a very important ayur (life ) dasa. Unless Navamsa dasa sign con
tains or aspects
Yama (lord of death) in the 3
rd
house from arudha lagna, death cannot come.
Lagnamsaka dasa (D-9 chart)
Lagnamsaka dasa is a variation of Narayana dasa, which shows the physical fructi
fication of
various environmental influences such as dharma.
Padanathamsa dasa (D-9 chart)
This dasa is a variation of Narayana dasa, which shows how ones abilities, learn
ing, karma,
spiritual activites, etc. impact on ones image and status with changing time.
Sudasa (Laksmis Blessings)
Just as Narayana dasa tracks the movement of lagna with time, Sudasa is a rasi d
asa that tracks the
movement of Shree lagna with time. Shree lagna is the residence of goddess Laksm
i in ones chart.
Sudasa tracks the changes in Laksmis residence with time and shows Her blessings.
It shows
prosperity, fruition and well-being. It can show everything from power (Rajya La
ksmis blessing)
to money (Dhana Laksmis blessing) to child birth (Dhana Laksmis blessing) to vehic
les (Vahana
Laksmis blessing) to Moksha (Moksha Laksmis blessing). While Narayana dasa shows e
ffort and
environment, Sudasa shows well-being and prosperity. For timing wealth and power
, it is
particularly indespensible.
Drigdasa
Is a phalita dasa that shows religious activities and spiritual evolution.
Lagna Kendra Rasi Dasa (fructification of yogas)
Is a rasi dasa that shows prosperity of various aspects of a person. It can show
financial prosperity,
prosperity of raja yogas, prosperity of parivraja yogas etc.

oksha/liberation.
Chara Dasa (a popular phalita rasi dasa)
This dasa was taught by Maharishi Parasara. It is part of the Narayana dasa syst
em. Some scholars
suggest that Chara dasa applies only to natives with lagna in a chara (movable )
sign.
Summary of signs:
Movable signs {1, 4, 7, 10} chara - have a duration of 7 years each.
Fixed signs {2, 5, 8, 11} sthira - have a duration of 8 years each.

Ashtottari dasa is a popular nakshatra dasa. Some hold it universally applicable
. Some apply it for
day-time births in Krishna paksha and night-time births in Sukla paksha. Some ap
ply it when Rahu
is in a trine or Kendra from lagna (but not in lagna). As it is based on an 108year cycle, some use
it as an ayur dasa and time death from it. As only chara karakas figure in it, s
ome use it as a dasa
that shows sustenance and raja yogas.
Kalachakra Dasa (Moon, Savya group, Paramayush = 85 years)
Kalchakra dasa is a general purpose nakshatra dasa that is based on Moons navams
a. It shows all

85
Other Dasas
Moola Dasa (dasa showing the root of events - past karma)
Mula dasa is a general purpose planetary dasa that is good at showing various ph
ases in life. This
was the most popular dasa at the time of Varahamahira and Kalyana Varma (author
of Saravali).
This dasa shows the root (mula) of events, i.e. past karma. Use D-60 (past-life)
and D-1 rasi (this
life) with Mula dasa to judge how past lifes karma influences this lifes events.
This is one of the
finest dasa we know today.
Naisargika Dasa (dasa of the nature)

ing nature of a
person with changing time.
Tara Dasa (applicable if all the four quadrants are occupied)

drants from lagna are
occupied by planets (Rahu and Ketu are considered as planets here). This is a hy
brid between
Vimshottari dasa and Moola dasa.

This dasa is good at showing the experiences of the soul.
Patyayini Dasa (useful in Tajaka charts)
Patyayini dasa is used with dasa pravesh charts ( period commencement charts) to
finely time
events in a dasa. It is commonly used in Tajaka and monthly charts. The special
feature of this
dasa is that lagna has dasa along with planets. In a dasa pravesh chart, dasa si
gn is the most
important reference and lagna of the chart joins planets and becomes a useful pa
rameter. So it also
has a dasa.
Sudarsana Chakra Dasa of D-1 (Lagna:Moon:Sun)
Sudarsana Chakra dasa is the best tool for predicting annual, monthly and daily
fortune according
to Parasara. This dasa is found by progressing lagna, Moon and Sun at the rate o
f one sign per
year.

This dasa comes from the Agni Purana with no specific name. it shows the directi
on of Buddhi
(Intellect). It shows which planet sits on head at a given time. That planet can
be propitiated.

Predictive Principles
From Paala Deepika by Sri Mantreswara : A Fundamental Principle of Astrology
Any house (bhava) will bring good results if it is occupied or aspected by a b
enefic, or its own
lord, or one owning a benefic house, and if it is free from any kind of associat
ion with a
malefic.
This principle takes into consideration not only a natural benefic but a planet
that becomes
a benefic by virtue of its ownership of houses in a given chart.
Thus Mars for Leo (Sun is friend of Mars) and Saturn for Taurus (Venus is frien
d of
Saturn) are benefics, even if they are natural malefics.
This result does hold good for a malefic also if it is the owner of the house c
oncerned.
Negatively the house concerned must not be the debilitation sign, and the plane
t must not
be in the house of its enemy.
The planet must not also be eclipsed.
This is a Fundamental Principle and a good deal of misinterpretation of charts r
ests on failure to
recognise the importance of this truth.
In assessing the results of any house, one must consider that house as if it w
ere the ascendant
and then to proceed to examine it. Similarly one should take up the karaka (sign
ification) of the
required bhava and treat the place it is situated in as if it were the ascendant
.
Only use the rasi D-1 chart in applying this rule and never the divisional cha
rts which are
only after all a mapped reference of planets in division to the birth lagna.
Example:
The 10
th
House from the ascendant is in Taurus and it is to
be treated like the ascendant, call it : dasa lagna. The 2
nd
house from dasa lagna is karaka for wealth, assets, revenue,
aristocracy and family and its ruler Me is karaka for business
and profession. Ju is there with Ve spoiled by Sa. They are
all of weak strength 4, 3, 2 bindus, while the house itself is a

In the Kalachakra dasa of this chart the second from dasa

house from the lagna. In any other bhava take the strongest planet in that house
and
determine which division its longitude lies in i.e. the 1

and apply: 8

The thirteenth verse states: a planet may be exalted or may be in a
friendly Sign and endowed with all the six kinds of strengths
(Shadbalas). Yet if it is in a Bhavasandhi (the point where the last
house ends and the first house begins), it is powerless.
The planet that occupies the exact cuspal degree (8-degrees) brings
forth the full effect of the Bhava concerned.
Jaiminis statement: if the lord of a Bhava happens to be in the 6
th
,
8
th
or 12
th
house from that Bhava, or if he is in a depression or an
inimical sign (enemy of the lord of the Bhava) , the results will not
be benefic. This principle has to be modified considerably when
such a planet is associated with or aspected by a benefic, or is
exalted.
th
houses (=
Papasthana houses) and benefics in the trines and kendras of a bhava will bring
about
favourable results. Nevertheless placement of a functional malefic planet in the
se houses is
not good, unless it is very strong (5 bindus or more or greater than the strengt
h of the lords
of those houses?)
The cusp where the lord of the ascendant is positied becomes stronger for good
or evil.
Generally such a planet proves favourable to the house he is in.This provides a
key to the
entire nativity.
90
Parasara says about trines and kendras occupied by malefic or benefics.
Lords of the trine houses {1, 5, 9 } give good results no matter if their inher
ent
nature is malefic or benefic.
If a planet has a square (kendra) or trine on another planet that is a strong
aspect.
Kendras /Squares/Cardinal Houses- {1, 4, 7, 10 } are important houses in a
chart, represent significant aspects of an individuals life
Placement of a Functional Malefic in these houses is not good , unless it is ve
ry
strong.
Natural Benefics in these houses, Kendras and Konas, give good results.
Planetary Aspects
Any planet aspected by the Sun gets strengthened and is active.
A planet aspected by the Moon or Mercury will become benefic or malefic dependi
ng
on the Moons phase (waxing or waning) and the associations with Mercury (strong
conjunction or aspect by a malefic or benefic).
A planet aspected by Venus becomes like Venus benefic, if Venus is strong.
A planet aspected by Mars becomes strengthened- i.e. more benefic or more malef
ic.
One aspected by Jupiter aquires a wider scope and becomes benefic.
Saturns aspect on a planet limits the planets activities- i.e. makes the planet
weak and
reserved in its effects.
Even if the lord of the ascendant be a malefic by nature it will not harm the
house it
occupies. If it is not only the lord of the ascendant, but also of a malefic hou
se like the 6
th
or 8
th
, its character of a benefic remains because of its ownership of the 1
st
.
o Thus planets which occupy the 6
th
or 8
th
houses in this circumstance, occupy benefic
houses.

Foreign Residence
To find when one will go abroad use the D-4 chart :
The 9
th
and 12
th
houses show foreign residence in the D-4 chart.
Rahu signifies foreign residence
In D-4 chart below:
The 9
th
and 12
th
houses in D-4 is Sagittarius and Pisces. Rahu is
ng the
Search Transit window in Jagganatha Hora 7.32 find
ee into
Sagittarius and Pisces after 27 Janurary 1942, the
t.
(i) The first transit of Rahu into 9
th
house Dhanus is the date 19
th
August 1955. The native left his
foster home to live in another borough of New York
(ii) The second transit of Rahu into the 12
th
Pisces took place on 30 July 1969. After emigrating to
South Africa the native returned to the U.S.A. due to the Viet Nam War draft.
All these dates show how Rahu can determine ones residence in another country or
area from birth.
(iii) the Trikona Dasa a Rasi dasa shows how the last period of residence can be
broken up into the
four purusaharthas (D-dharma, A-artha, K-kama, M-moksha) Pi: 27-01-1962 to 27-01

Sanchita (Seed) Karma
Bhashya
Karma that comes to fruition in this life time is the seed we brought with us fr
om our past life, these
are the vasannas , the mental temperaments, that come with the vital airs that e
nvelope our soul. In the
gestation state we can remember all our past life experiences. But once we exit
through the vaginal
passage into Maya we forget everything and become deluded by Maya. This tirobha
va or hiding of
Brahmans spititual presence is part of Brahmans fivefold activities. We see and
feel through the
jnanaandriyas and karmandriyas the effects of shakti , the material cause, but a
re denied the bliss of
the efficient cause, through lack of merit. Nevertheless we are given the tool o
f Jyotish to bridge
between the two causations and reveal our immediate past life, from the D-60 div
isional chart. That
chart shows the karma of our past life, the sum of all previous lives. By using
the sacred Moola dasa
we can predict when the sanchita karmans will bear fruit in our present activit
ies, the prabdha
karmans.
Below a birth chart will illustrate, involving the planet Shukra.

Chart no. 1
Chart no.
Venus in chart 1 is a yogakaraka in Makara which will bring much happiness and p
rosperity to the
native. The Sudasa a rasi dasa for Venus appears late in the native life: 2025-2
029. Why?
One has to look to past life for the answer. In chart no. 2, Venus is in Saggita
rius and exalted
(retrograde). But this house in the past life is the 12
th
house of loss in the present life - Chart 1. This
gave bad results for sustenance and prosperity early in his life but on the spir
itual level this house is
the divine 9
th
house from rasi lagna in Chart 1. Material manifestations were important to the
native
and the Mula Dasa for fructification of Venus does takes place during the period
s 2004-2013. This was
a period of much spiritual development. Mercury the planet of commerce shined u
pon Venus during
the past life and Mercurys period in the present Mula dasa for 1982-1992 saw muc
h commercially
successful businesses for the native.
Conclusion
The knowledge of Jyotisha has revealed a yogakaraka planet in the present life t
o be coming from a
disadvantaged position in the last life. By looking into the past through the D60 divisional chart and
finding the periods for Sudasa and Moola Dasa one can reveal ones karma acting i
n the present from
the planets karaka or significance in the past.

How To Time An Event
The Birth Star, the Birth Moon and the Panchaka:
In fixing auspicious times there are three factors which are common to almost al
l elections and which
require utmost attention:
f Tarabala (nakshatra strength): In the janmanakshatra is situated the birth Mo
on. On the
elected day of activity count from the birth constellation to the constellation
of that elected day
and divide the number by 9- if the remainder is 1 (janma) it indicates danger to
the body; if 2
(sampat) wealth and prosperity; if 3 (vipat) dangers, losses and accidents; if 4
(kshema)
prosperity; if 5 (pratyak) obstacles; if 6 (sadhana) realisation of ambitions; i
f 7 (naidhana)
dangers; if 8 (mitra) favourable; and if 0 (parama mitra) very favourable.
o 100% strength- when the days nakshatra falls in the first Paryaya or cycle,i.
e., within the
first 9 stars, the activity holds good or evil - 100%.
o 50% strength- when in the 2
nd
Paryaya i.e. from stars 10-18 only 50% is the evil or good
effects. In fact the evil is centred only in the first quarter of the 3
rd
(Vipat), the 4
th
quarter of
the 5
th
(Pratyak) and the 3
rd
quarter of the 7
th
(Naidhana) of the 2
nd
cycle.
o 0 % strength- stars falling in 19
th
-27
th
in Nakshatra chart have almost no effect, good or
bad. But in my humble experience it is better to avoid Vipat and Naidhana stars
for all
important undertakings.the 22
nd
is always sadhana and the 27
th
para mitra and hence they
can be considered as auspicious.
f Chandrabala (Moon strength): the consideration and the position of the Moon a
nd his
position is most important in Muhurtha (auspicious election of time). The Moon s
hould not
occupy in the election chart, a position that happens to represent the 6
th
, 8
th
, or 12
th
from the
persons Janma Rasi (birth sign).
f Panchaka (Five Source Energy): For very important occasions such as marriage,
nuptials,
entry into new houses, travel, etc. add Panchaka as a required test of strength
to Tarabala and
Chandrabala. If the muhurtha is free of defects, perform the ceremony, or take t
he travel date
as safe.
o Take the number of lunar days (from the 1
st
of the month)
o The number of the weekday (Sunday-1, Monday-2 etc.)
o The number of the constellation (fron Aswini)
o The number of the Lagna (Ascendant from Aries).
o Add the above together and divide by 9:
- If the remainder is 1 (mrityu panchakam), it indicates danger.
- If 2 (agni panchakam), risk from fire
- If 4 (raja panchakam), bad results
- If 6 (chora panchakam), evil happenings
- If 8 (roga panchakam), disease
- If the remainder is 3, 5, 7, or 0, then it is good.
Example: A couple want to celebrate their wedding anniversary with a homa and pr
ayers at a temple.
The devotee was not born in the janmanakshatra of Rohini, the constellation day
94
constellations were avoided; he was not born in Rohini which would have made it
the
1
st
constellation and that would be danger to the body, etc.
When the day is favourable, the negative parts of the unfavourable constellatio
ns may
be avoided. Thus in the Janma, Vipat, Pratyak and Naidhana constellations, the f
irst 7,
3, 8, and 6 gathis, respectively may be considered evil and avoided. Note: this
may be
necessary when urgency is required for performance of an occasion on a certain
day.
A day ruled by ones Janma Nakshatra is ordinarily held to be unfavourable for an
election. But in regard to nuptials, sacrifices, first feeding, agriculture, upan
ayanam,
coronation, buying lands, Janma Nakshatra is favourable without exception. But i
t is
inauspicious for war, sexual union, shaving, taking medical treatment, travel an
d
marriage. For a women, Janma Nakshatra would be quite favourable for marriage.

Travelo The most essential factors to be remembered in selecting a suitable day for t
ravel are (a)
a good lunar day, (b) a favourable constellation, (c) a well fortified Lagna (pl
ace Jupiter
or Venus), (d) the absence of Panchaka Dosha.

, 7
th
, 10
th
, 11, and 13
th
tithis.The 14
th
lunar day
and Full and New Moon days should be avoided at any cost.
o No journey should be undertaken on days ruled by: Krittika, Bharani, Aslesha
,
Visakha-beyond 14 ghatikas-ok, Punavasu, Purva Bhadra-beyond 16 ghatikas-ok and
Arida. For sure do not travel on Krittika or Bharani ruled days. Do not travel o
n a
Tuesday.
o Aries, Taurus, Cancer, Leo, Libra, and Sagittarius are favourable signs for s
tarting a
journey. Journey should not be undertaken when the transit-lagna is in the 5
th
, 7
th
, or
the 9
th
from ones Janma Lagna.
o Let Jupiter or Venus be placed in transit-lagna and the Moon in any place oth
er than
the 8
th
at the start of the journey to make the travel successful.
o The Moon should be in the 3
rd
,6
th
,9
th
,or 12
th
and Jupiter in a Kendra from Lagna.
o Avoid days of vernal and autumnal equinox and the days on which the Sun enter
s a
new sign every month.
o Start when Moon is in Lagna fortified by the disposition of Jupiter or Venus
in a
Kendra.
o Mercury placed in the 4
th
and Jupiter in the maraka 2
nd
and 7
th
will neutralise any
adverse effects on travel.
o Benefics in the kendras and trines act as powerful antidotes for all evils.
o Jupiter in transit-Lagna, malefics in Upachayas and Venus in any house other
than the
7
th
would be an ideal combination.
o Air Journeys-take due note of Tarabala. Let the transit-Lagna be an air sign
{Gemini, Libra and Aquarius}. Avoid Mars in transit-Lagna, the 7
th
and the 8
th
.
Moon is to be waxing and as far from Rahu as possible. Place Jupiter or Venus in
transit-Lagna, if possible, or aspecting transit-Lagna.

o Lunar months of Chaitra, Vaisakha, Sravana, Kartika and Magha are the best.
o Sun should occupy fixed signs {2, 5, 8, 11} or at least movable but not {3, 6

o Foundations are best laid in Nakshatras : Rohini, Mrigashira, Chitra, Hasta, J

Anuradha, Ashwini, Satabhisha, Uttara Bhadra and Revati.
o All the odd tithis (lunar days) except the 9

are auspicious.
o Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday are the best. Saturday should be rejec

it connotes theft. Sunday should be avoided unless strong.
o Fixed signs of planet occupancy are the best. Movable signs should be rejecte

Ailments
Diabetes
Combinations are:
1. A strong malefic in the 8
th
or Lagna while Venus and Jupiter, or the Moon and Jupiter are afflicted.
2. Malefic Sukra in Lagna or in a malefic place.
3. Sukra in the 8

with a malefic aspect.
Example
The birth chart on the left belongs to a middle age man in late fifties. He suf
fers from type 1 diabetes
and recently lost a toe to the disease. It is easy to see from his chart the pre
sence of his disease. The
question is when will he suffer loss of body part again?
From no. 3 combination, advancing Ve from D-1 (Rasi) lagna in Makara to the 8
th
Leo,
malefics Sa and Ke are in conjunction and the date of 29 September 2007 is his n
ext possible
debilitation. However no major dibility takes place because Venus has a strength
of 3-bindus in
BAV and the house of Leo in SAV is only 21 bindus. This weakness caused little e
ffect for
ailment due to diabetes for September 2007. Also the Vimshottari dasa Venus/Merc
ury starts
on 26/08/2007 and both planets are benefic to each other.
Epilepsy and Neurasthenia
Combinations are:
1. The Sun, Moon and Mars in Lagna aspected by a malefic.
2. The Sun, Moon and Mars in the 8

Example
The chart on the right is of a woman who has inflammation of
the legs and especially the knees. Her Venus is in the 8

aspected by malefic Saturn. Number 19 above applies.
Result
Her SAV chart for the house of Chandra, where Venus is deposited is of strength
25 bindus.
This is average strength. But her Venus is at 6 out of 8 bindus in that sign. Th
is is strong and
cause for the painful effects of inflammation or pitta dosha in the tissues of h
er knees and
possibly the joints in her feet. Saturns kalapurusha is legs and knees.
99
Remedial
Propitiate Lord Sukra and Lord Sani in the Navagraha temple. Say mantras to them
daily, offer
flowers and appropriate prasadam. Use Ayurvedic therapy for pain in the joints.
Follow the
correct diet for constitution of Pitta Prakruti.
Cancer
Cases of cancer can be diagnosed from the Moon, Mars, Saturn and Rahu;
cancer is directly connected with Rahu, afflicted (waning) Moon, afflicting Jupi
ter or Sani; and the
signs, Virgo and Pisces. Aries, Taurus, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn can be invol
th
, Leo the Sun and
Jupiter as the lord of the Drekkana occupied by Saturn.

Summary on Cancer:
This analysis reveals the importance of the lords of the 6
th
and the 8
th
house, Lagna. At the same time
Mars, Saturn and Moon and Rahu play a major role. Moreover each part of the body
refers to a
specific house and to a particular planet which have to be considered along with
other factors. One
should not run into a judgement simply because these factors exist in a given ch
art. One should also
carefully examine the divisional charts D-6 (health troubles), D-8 (sudden and u
nexpected troubles)
for longevity, D-16 (happiness, comforts and discomforts) and D-30 (diseases, pu
nishments ). Above
all one must ascertain the Shadbala strength of the planets- SAV and BAV. [And t
hen the Dasas too
for benefic or malefic Mahadasa periods ]. Then only one can predict with accur
acy. Otherwise the
prognosticator will condemn the persons consulting him to unnecessary worry and
mental torture.

yellow and his skin mellow yellow from his infected liver.

Sun is in Makara. Thus his Moon is bound by malefics on
both sides. Dictum no. 1 is operative and he could not
escape the disease.

Timing Marriage for Most Auspicious Periods by Sri Mantreshwara Method
Marriage takes place when Venus or the lord of the 7
th
house comes to transit in a
trine to the sign occupied by the lord of the Ascendant in Rasi or in Navamsa. I
t is
alright if the lord of the 7
th
happens to be a slow-moving planet like Jupiter or
Saturn. Otherwise many troubles will crop up during any given year.
Marriage takes place in the periods of the planet in the 7
th
house, planet aspecting the
7
th
house, and the lord of the 7
th
house. It can also take place when the lord of the
Ascendant comes to the 7
th
house in his transit 108
Method: Find out where the lord of the 7
th
house is in Rasi and in Navamsa then
ascertain the relative strength of the lords of these houses. The major period o
f the
stronger one gives rise to marriage.
When Jupiter transits a trine to the sign in Rasi or Navamsa occupied by the lo
rd
of the 7
th
house, marriage can take place.
Other Marriage Timing Factors
A favourable period appears when Jupiter in transit aspects or passes through t
he sign
occupied by radical Venus, the 7
th
house or the lord of the 7
th
. If this position is not
afflicted by transiting planets, marriage can take place.
5. The Moon at the time of marriage must be in a benefic house from the Lagnas
of both.
o Moon is in a trine from his janma lagna and in the lagna of hers.
6. The boy is to be married in an odd year from the date of his birth, and
the girl in an
even year.
o Man: 1979-1942=37 odd number; Woman: 1979-1959=20 even.
7. The Moon must transit through one of the following constellations: Rohini,
Mrigashira, Makha, Uttaraphalguni, Hasta, Swati, Anuradha, Moola, Uttarashadh
a,
Uttarabhadrapada, Revati.
o In the marriage-transit-chart below Moon is in 15-degrees Aries = Bharani, no
t above.

Timing Marriage by Stars (Taras), Lunar Days, Weekdays, Yoga and
Karana
1. Karthari Dosha- This yoga occurs when there are natural malefic planets on ei
ther side of the
Lagna; in the transit chart this muhurtha should be rejected for good timing, in
particular, in regard
to marriage.
2. Shashtashta Riphagatha Chandra Dosha-the Moon should not be in the bhavas 6
th
, 8
th
, and 12
th
from the Lagna rising in a transit timing chart.
3. Sagraha Chandra Dosha- The Moons association with any other planet, benefic or
malefic ,
should be avoided, especially in regard to marriage.
4. Udayasta Suddhi- the Lagna and the 7
th
lord should be strong. The Lagna should be occupied by
its own lord and the Navamsa by its own lord or lord of Lagna should aspect Nava
msa lord and
vise versa. The strength of Lagna by aspect or deposit of Venus or Jupiter and t
he 7
th
by
deposit or aspect by Venus or Jupiter is necessary in all timing charts but espe
cially so in
regard to marriage.
5. Bhrigu Shatka-the position of Venus in the 6
th
is injurous. This is especially so in
marriage.
6. Kujasthama-Mars in the 8
th
house is a disaster in muhurtha charts and more so in a marriage
timing chart.
7. Ashtama Lagna-in selecting a time for marriage, the Lagna ascending should n
ot happen to be
the 8
th
from the Janma lagna of the bride and the bridegroom.
8. Krura Samyuta Dosha- the constellation occupied by the Sun at a given moment
, and the one
immediately preceeding and succeeding it have to be rejected for purposes of mar
riage.
When any of the Yogas above come to play in any given Muhurtha Marriage chart,
the following
antidote is used to nullify the unwanted effects:
f Venus, Mercury or Jupiter in the ascendant will completely destroy all other
adverse
influences.
f Jupiter has the power of dispelling all the evils due to the Lagna, Navamsa a
nd
malefic aspects and render the time highly propitious.
f The mere presence of the Moon or the Sun in the 11
th
will act as antidote for other
evils obtaining in the horoscope.
f If the angles or trines are well fortified, evil influences are countered.
f A planet exalted in Lagna will nullify the other adverse influences.
f Jupiter or Venus in a Kendra (quadrant) and malefics in 3, 6, or 11 will remo
ve all the
flaws arising on account of unfavourable weekday, constellation, lunar day and y
oga.
Example of : Timing Marriage for Most Auspicious Periods by Sri Mantreshwara Met

Lets see how the marriage of the above spouses could have avoided the obstacles
they
encountered if they woul have chosen a time and period following Sri Mantreswara
s methods.
1. Marriage takes place when Venus or the lord of the 7
th
house comes to transit in a trine
to the sign occupied by the lord of the Ascendant in Rasi or in Navamsa. See the
following muhurta charts starting on the actual day of marriage and then when th
is
dictum is satisfied. Then would that be the correct day, month, and year for the
marriage?
Use either Jyotisha Tools or Jagannatha Hora 7.02 for the calculations. Using t
he
sahama for Vivaha (marriage) in Search Transit in Jagannatha Hora 7.01 this puts

tions
given in our Shastras on marriage. If one carries the process to the following y

use the 2

Seventh and eighth houses in marriage charts must be both mutually strong and we
ll disposed
with appropriate planet(s) and is usually the first parameter to consider before
continuing with
suitable compatability of partners.
o The 7
th
house in male chart is unoccupied but aspected by Venus and Saturn. Both these
planets are malefic in his birth chart and disappointment may occur in marriage.
o The 7
th
in female is empty of planets but aspected by Functional benefic Mars. She has
auspicious strength in her marriage for positive good.
o The 8
th
house of the male chart is unoccupied and is aspected by malefic Mercury. His
emotions could be roused by others in his marriage.
o The 8
th
house of the female chart is the house of Venus also aspected by Mars. The
strength of her marriage union is assured by powerful Mars.
Summary
Based on her 7

the strength of her marriage houses, a successful marriage is thus assured.

A comparison of the couples rasi and marriage charts (Navamsa) follows:
The Navamsha of the female-person is in the below chart and his Navamsa is on t
he next page.
o His 7
th
house in rasi -lord Venus is in the 6th house in her Navansha chart. This house
indicates diseases , accidents or mental afflictions, these problems of the spous
e could
become an issue.
o Her 7
th
house ruled by malefic Mercury in her rasi chart is in his 5
th
house Navamsha
aspected by his benefic Mars. This is an auspicious trine house and although Mer
cury is
a Functional malefic it is strong with BAV at 5 bindus. This brings good results
to the
marriage in communications and agreements within the couples relationships.
o His 8
th
house in his rasi chart is ruled by Mars.
Mars in her Navamsa chart is in a quadrant and
as a benefic in her rasi now becomes a malefic
meaning there could be disagreements in desires
of both couples even domestic quarrles.
o Her 8
th
house in rasi is ruled by Venus in her
a rises with
Venus inside is a most auspicious time for this marriage.
Bhashya:Marriage is a large subject in Vedic Astrology. It provides scientific knowledge
in pre-marital
relationships. The high rates of divorce are the result of unions driven by mere
material desires
and misconstrued marriage goals. But mostly marriages are not checked for compat
ability by
Vedic astrologers in the Western nations as they have no system or traditions in
marriage
matching through Divine means (of the Vedas). Marriage is really made in heaven an
d the
Divine Union is possible if the rules of Vedic astrology are followed when partn
ers are sought.
However, no one parameter can decide a favourable outcome. No decision can be ma
de until
all the votes are in. Even then to there are challenges between the Vedic Astrolog
ers from
North India and those from South India to which these marriage compatability par
ameters
come from. This is not disagreement but like the disciples of the Rishes who ask
the questions
and the Guru who gives the answers in the Upanishads , truth comes from enquiry
and
discussion with an underlying tradition in scripture and philosophy that comes
from a
beginningless uninterrupted source - which is the Vedas.
When Venus, Mars and or Jupiter are in trine {1,5,9} or in 3, 11 positions to e
ach others charts
and the Sun and Moon have similar positions , except {2, 12} it is a favourable
position and
strong attachment for the marriage of both.
o Venus is in the 3rd to each other in their rasi charts and the Sun and the M
oon are in 1
and 9 to each other, i.e., their Suns are both in the first house to each other
and their
Moons are in trine by their 9 houses separation from each other. This is a very
favourable match.
Commentary:The human embryo is a reincarnation or development of past stages of life depend
ing on the
merit (poorvapunya) one achieved from each life time, whether from mammals, quad
rapeds,
etc. The tendencies of certain animals can predominate in the succeeding life. S
ome Maharishi
Vedic astrologers of the ancient past, like Sri Mantreswara in his treatise Pala
Deepika have
given us a method for determining from a birth chart what type of animal or othe
rwise one was
from a previous life. Fasinating as it is, it is not relevant here. But the anim
al symbols assigned
to the nakshatras (constellations) indicate the sexual suitability of partners b
efore marriage.
Thus for example one born in Leo will have the characteristics of a lion, while
one born in
Aries will be timid and mild. Remembering that Vedic Astrology is millions of mi
llenniums
old as time itself, as it is an arm of the Vedas, these comparisons of symbols o
f animals to our
present human form is to be taken seriously in determining what we desire from t
he
information.
This word caste has been much maligned and misunderstood in the West to mean a kin
d of
degradation of a human. Noting the words of lord Krishna in the Bhagavad Gita wh
ich talks about
the classification of mankind into catagories of natural abilities and tempermen
t: Brahmin,
Ksatriya, Vaisya and Sudra, Lord Krishna advises that it is best if one works wi
thin ones natural
120
ability (caste), even if one works perfectly outside of ones ability in another
area of seeming
ability. Meaning it is stressful to perform ones duty if it is not natural to do
so. Performing
karmayoga or devotional performance of our natural abilities to the Divine Mothe
r acting as her
instrument is Dharma, our duty. He therefore says we cannot perform activities p
roperly and with
full consciousness if we are not following our natural born temperments. These m
ental
temperaments or vasanas come from the sum of all of our previous lives. This is
called the Law of
Karma. Classifiying all living being into the varnas or castes notifies one of w
here ones duty lies.
Lord Rama performed his duty as a Kshatriya warrior and king. Others do so as pr
iests, gurus,
etc. It is advisable for a man to marry in his caste as determined by astrologic
al principles.
Remember, ones ability comes from the sum of all past lives and Vedic Astrologer
s are able to tell
what class one is from: Priestly, Noble, Merchant or Worker. Thus if he is a pri
est he may marry
all classes of women . But if he is a Merchant for example he may only marry a w
omen from the
Merchant (Vaisya) or Worker (Sudra) class if he wants his marriage to succeed; a
nd so on. If a
woman, she may marry up but never down the classification scale. These Laws of M
anu are made
to prevent misery and perfect harmony in our society.
However, as one moves up the ladder of classifications by performing worship, p
enance, spiritual
knowledge and meditation ones caste is elevated to higher consciousness, even in
the same life
time. Thus many Saints whose charts showed that at birth they were Sudras, ended
their lives as
Brahmins, performing as Gurus and priests in the temples and ashrams. Continuing
with this
comparison test, however the base class at birth will be used.
The Brahmins come from the Ascendent in the houses: Pisces, Scorpio and Cancer;
Kshatriyas:
Leo, Saggitarius and Libra; Vaisya: Aries, Gemini and Aquarius; Sudra: Taurus, V
irgo and
Capricorn or use Rishi Jaiminis rules. By Jaiminis Rules - caste is from the 11

Annual Solar Return
By Vishveshvara
The methods of Kalidasa as outlined in his work Uttara Kalamrita is a simpler me
thod than that of
the Tajaka system of astrologers like Nilakantha. The Tajaka system was probably
Arabic in origin
and known as a Yavanesvara (non-Hindu) work to which Sphujidhvaja was the most
famous
Yavanesvara. Other Yavanesvaras were ancient Greek philosophers and astrologers l
ike Ptolemy
and Manittha. They were all taught by the Indian Vedic astrologers. Western infl
uences of nonVedic character crept in when the minds of the followers of the Yavanesvaras turn
ed away from
the East and turned toward the West and materialistic cultures.
From: Uttara Kalamrita-by Kalidasa
Sutra 6.34 and 6.35 from
y Note the exact position of the Sun at the time of birth. In any year find whe
n the Sun returns to the
same degree, minute and second. That is the solar return day of the year for the
native. Calculate
the lagna and the positions of the planets and houses for that time of the year.
Calculate the Sapta
Vargas (Rasi, Hora, Drekkana, Saptamsa, Navamsa, Dvadasamsa and Trimsamsa) stren
gth of each
planet. The results show what will happen to the native during that solar year.
Count from the natal
star (janma nakshatra) the constellation in which the Moon is located on that da
y. Divide this by 9
[ exterpolate multiples of 9]. The remainder is counted from the Sun in the orde
r given in the next
verse. This gives the first dasa for the solar year.
y Note the exact position of the Moon at the time of the Suns return to the posi
tion at the time of
birth. Find out how many more ghatikas and vighatikas are yet to elapse in that
constellation. This is to
be multiplied by the number of days given to the planet and divided by the total
duration of the
constellation i.e. 800 minutes. This gives the balance of the first dasa in days
, ghatikas and vighatikas.
Then follow the other dasas in the sequence given below.
The days in serial order are:
Su- 110, Mo- 60, Ma-32, Me- 40, Ju 48, Ve- 56, Sa 4, Ra 5 and Lagna- 10 .
The subsequent dasas follow this sequence only.
The benefic or malefic results of any dasa are to be interpreted with reference
to the strength of the
planet concerned, the strength of the lagna for the year, the strength of the Bh
ava having the
planet, and the various aspects on the various planets and houses.

Analysis of Data:
The strongest planet is Venus and the period 2009-7-2 /2009-8-26, was very favou
rable to the native.
Health was no longer an issue, personal relations were good, another grandson wa
s born, and finances
were steady. The temple building site was to begin during this period.
Interesting, was the previous strongest planet Mars and its period. This time wa
s a building up of
physical well-being using ayurvedic herbal treatment and panchakarma, this after
the Moons period
saw surgic removal of a skin mole basil cell melanoma and lumbago problems. By t
he time the Venus
period started all health problems cleared up. The method of Solar Return by Kal
idasa has a lot of
merit.
Kalidasas Sutras:

Chandra- [F] if the Mo is strong during his period one has royal favour, an ever
increasing wealth and

thers and the like.
He/she will follow evil or sinful ways and prove trecherous to the Brahmanas.
E Me is of ordinary strength 5

place out of 9.
Sutra 6.40
Guru- [F] if Ju is strong during his period one has vehicles and wealth. [UF] if
he is weak one
wanders from place to place, has loss of memory, takes the evil ways and evil as
sociations.
E Ju is of weak strength 7

place out of 9.
Sukra- [F] if Ve is strong during his period there is amassing of wealth along w
ith fame, white or
refined clothes and happiness from his wife or women. [UF] if he is weak he face
s loss of wealth, fear
from foes, bad name and diseases through contact with women.
126
E Ve is of powerful strength- 1
st
place out of 9.
Sani- [F] during the period of a strong Sa one has a house and other forms of ha
ppiness. He will be a
leader. [UF] if he is weak the person faces loss of weaslth, emaciation of the b
ody, diseases and a bad
name.
E Sa is of weak strength- 8
th
place out of 9.
Rahu- [F] during the period of a strong Ra the native performs virtuous and good
acts, has gains, does
good things and finds a rise in his profession. [UF] if he is a malefic there ar
e inauspicious results,
death of the father, and has associations with bad ones and with his foes
Ra is of good strength- 4
th
place out of 9.
Lagna -During the period of the lagna the results are good, average and bad acco
rding to the nature of
the drekkana of the lagna, association of the lord of the lagna, and the yoga fo
rmed by the lord of
lagna.
As (Ascendant) is average 6
th
place out of 9. The Drekkana (D-3) of the Lagna has Astakavarga
of 31. Venus and Moon are in a kendra to the Lagna and Mars is in the auspicious
9
th
. The lord of
lagna is Guru in the inauspicious 6
th
with Rahu. But the effects of this sign may get cancelled as
this bhava is the Shree Lagna (SL). In that case the Dasa will be favourable fro
m 2009-9-5/2009-914.
y Thus we have given the annual results in a brief but elegant way, of the vario
us planets and lagna.
Taking into consideration the strength or weakness of the planets based on their
association with
the benefics, the wise one should predict the results. Kalidasa (16

century).

Odd and Even
1. Ar, Ge, Le, Li, Sg and Aq are called odd rasis or vishama rasis or oja rasis
. They are also
known as male rasis.
2. Ta, Cn, Vi, Sc, Cp and Pi are called even rasis or sama rasis or yugma rasis
. They are also
known as female rasis.
This division is used in some dasas and in the determination of the sex of child
ren.
Movable, Fixed and Dual Signs
1. Ar, Cn, Li and Cp are known as chara rasis or movable rasis. They are ruled
by Brahma, the
Creator. Their nature is to move and to be dynamic.
2. Ta, Le, Sc and Aq are known as sthira rasis or fixed rasis. They are ruled b
y Shiva, the
Destroyer. Their nature is to be stable and constant.
3. Ge, Vi, Sg and Pi are known as dwiswabhava rasis or dual rasis. They are rul
ed by Vishnu, the
Sustainer.They are stable sometimes and dynamic sometimes.
Five Elements
According to Hindu philosophy, this world is made up of 5 elements fire, water,
air, earth and ether.
Water is a substance with a flexible state. Air is a substance with a varying st
ate. Earth is a substance
with a constant and solid state. Fire is a substance that transforms the state o
f things. Ether is
something that is present everywhere.

Exalted, Mulatrikona and Debilitated Planets
Each planet has a sign where it is exalted (uchcha), a sign where it is debilita
ted (neecha), a sign that is
called its moolatrikona and one or two rasis that are owned by it. A planet is s
aid to be strong in its
own rasi or exaltation rasi or moolatrikona.

Aspects :
All planets aspect the seventh from
where they are posited by 100% power.
In addition Kuja (Mars), Guru (Jupiter)
and Shani (Saturn) have special aspects.
Kuja aspects 4 and 8 from his natal
position. Guru aspects 5 and 9, Shani
aspects 3 and 10. Actually all planets
aspect 3,4,5,7,8,9,10 and 11 from where
they are positied.
The aspect on 3 and 10 is a quarter; on 5
and 9 it is half; on 4 and 8 it is threequarters and on the seventh it is full.
Rahu aspects on 5, 7, 9 and 12 is full;
at 2 and 10 it is half; and on 3 and 6 it is
quarter. Shani has a shadowy aspect on
2 and 12, while Guru has it on 3 and 11.
Note: A constellation is called a
Nakshatra( lunar mansion) in Sanskrit.
SHADABALA
The 6 kinds of planetary strength
recognized under the Parashari
system of Vedic astrology.These are:
(i) Sthanbala, or positional strength,
(ii) Dikbala, or directional strength,
(iii) Kabbala, or temporal strength,
(iv)Chestabala,or motional strength,
(v) Naisargikabala, or inherent
strength, and
Ju, Ma, Sa
Mo
Sag 21
Me, Sa, Ve
Su
Pisces
Gemini
Note: The debilitation sign is 180-degress away from the exalted sign. Planets 2
, 12, 5, 9, 4 and 8 signs from that sign
are friends of that planet.But such a planet must own two houses. If it owns onl
y one sign it is neutral (sama). The
exceptions are the Sun and the Moon because they own only one sign each. If hous
es 2, 12, 5, 9, 4 and 8 are not owned by
any, such a planet is its enemy.
Retrograde planets by Kalisada Retrogression gives greater Chesta-bala. A planet in retrograde has the
strength of that of exultation. A retrograde planet in his debilitation has the
strength of exultation. When a retrograde planet is exalted in Rasi and debilita
ted
in Navamsha it is debilitated and has no strength. Also the debilitation gets
cancelled when such a planet is associated in the same sign with an exalted one.
If that planet is conjunct with a debilitated planet it stays debilitated.
These rules are from Uttara Kalamrita chapter 2 sutra 5- by Kalidasa.
The debilitation of Ve is cancelled if it is with Me. Also: Su with Sa,
Ma with Ju .
Aspects
Conjunction- when two celestial bodies
are in the same longitude.
Opposition- when two celestial bodies are
180-degrees apart.
Trine- when they are 120-degrees or 240degrees away.
Square when they are 90-degrees or
270-degrees apart.
Sextile- 60-degrees or 300-degrees.
conjunction and opposition cover 8degrees before or after the longitude
values.

Sthira Dasa
Jaimini called this dasa Sthira
because the number of years in each
dasa is fixed. This dasa is important
in fixing also the time of death.
Movable signs {1, 4, 7, 10}
chara - have a duration of 7
years each.
Fixed signs {2, 5, 8, 11}
sthira - have a duration of 8
years each.
Common signs {3, 6, 9, 12}dvisvabhava -have a duration
of 9 years each.

The Sthira dasa starts from the sign where Brahma is located.
When Brahma is an odd sign, the dasas follow the clkwise pattern
When Brahma is an even sign the dasas follow the anti-clkwise pattern.
Example Chart : Brahma is Me. This is an odd sign so the sequence is clkwise. M
Rule: For Clockwise rotation : use x- longitude value (unchanged) when Brahman is odd
.
For Anticlockwise rotation: use (30-x) longitude value when Brahman is even.
Calculate Brahma:
E Example: in D-1 chart , the strongest sign between Lagna (27 SAV) Mesha and t
he 7
th
sign Tula (30 SAV) is Tula .
The lords of the 6

* Satyacharyas View:
y In case any one of these six houses is occupied by two or more planets, wheth
er malefics or
benefics or mixed ones, only one of them who is the strongest will lose as a mal
efic or a
benefic. A waning Moon and a weak Mercury conjoined to a malefic, is normally c
onsidered
as a malefic i.e. Mercury, but in this context these two planets would be treate
d as natural
benefics and would lose as benefics if placed in the stipulated houses.
Years of Loss for Lagna with a Malefic Planet
Sutra 7.4.0
f Find the number of navamshas in the lagna (divide the numerical longitude of
the Ascendant by
3.3333) .Multiply the result by number of proportional years (base years) contr
ibuted by a natural
malefic in lagna and divide it by 108 (the total no. of navamsas in the 12 signs
). The result would
be the number of years lost by the natural malefic located in the lagna.
f Formula: As_loss= (L/3.3333)*(B_malefic planet/108)
Where L= numeric longitude of planet; B=base years of malefic planet
Example chart below: Years loss in As=02:56; 2.9333/3.3333=0.8800;
0.8800*11.7895(Mars)/108=0.0960 years lost
f If the natural malefic planet is aspected by a benefic it will lose only of t
he calculated loss in
years.
f Note: in case there are 2 or more than 2 natural malefic planets in the lagna
, the process of
calculation of the loss should be undertaken only in respect of a single malefic
planet that is
nearest to the longitude of the lagna.
Notes: The following formulas can be used to find the base years for each plane
t in a birth chart.
The rotation is clockwise or anticlockwise determined from the sign of exultatio
n to the planet to
its debilitation sign.
Formula : From Exultation-to-Planetto-Debilitation
Anticlockwise: B=Y- [ (X+N*30 + 30-L)/180) ]*Y/2
Formula : From Exultation-to-Planet-toDebilitation
Clockwise:
B=Y- [ (30-X+N*30*+L)/180) ]*Y/2
Formula: Planet in sign of exultation:
B=Y- [ (L-X)/180) ]*Y/2

Calculating Strength of Planets and Signs in Jaimini
System
Strength of Signs:
y Sutra 2.3.6 : the first source of strength for a sign is the placement of kar
aka (Atmakaraka
Strength) in it.
y Sutra 2.3.7: the more the planets are with a given planet, the greater the st
rength of the sign
(Sthira Strength).
y Sutra 2.3.9: next we have the permanent source of strength (Chara Strength).
y Sutra 2.3.14: the second source of strength for a sign arises if it is aspect
ed by its own lord, by
Ju, or by Me, or if it is associated by any of these (Aspect Strength).
f Notes: In Jaiminis system there is no distinction between a sign (rasi) and a
house (bhava).
The calculation of strengths is very simple in this system:
E The Atmakaraka is the most important planet in this system. The sign where he
is situated becomes
strong.
E A sign having a planet is stronger than one having none.
E The sign with the larger number of planets is stronger than the one having a
smaller number.
E A signs strength is determined by :
Movable (chara) - { 1, 4, 7, 10}
Fixed (sthira) - {2, 5, 8, 11}
Dual or common (dvisvabhava) - { 3, 6, 9, 12}
E A sign becomes stronger when it has Ju, Me, or its own lord, or when it is as
pected by any of these
three.
E Note the sign in the natal chart where the Atmakaraka is located.
E The Strength of a Sign is finally determined by 4- factors.
* Chara strength
A movable sign - 0.25 unit
A fixed sign
- 0.50 unit
A common sign 1.00 unit
* Sthira strength

Calculating Jaiminis Symbolic Figures on Death
Calculating death under Jaimini is unconventional and involved. The results are
however excellent.
Finding the Symbolic Figures involves many factors. There are conditional relat
ionships that need
noting if one is to find the correct symbolic planets that signifies, Brahma, Ma
hesvara and Rudra.
Significators of Death - Brahma:
y Sutra 2.1.49: find who is the strongest amongst the lords of the 6
th,
8
th
and 12
th
house from lagna
and from the seventh house. The planet behind this strongest one is to be consid
ered. If that is an
odd sign he is designated as Brahma.
y Sutra 2.1.50: if Sa, Ra or Ke becomes Brahman, then take the 6
th
from them as Brahma.
Notes: Thus if Sa becomes Brahma, the 6
th
from him is Kuja. [Days of the week start with the
Su, Mo, Ma, Me, Ju, Ve, Sa, Ra, Ke]
y Sutra 2.1.51: if more than one comes out as Brahma, take the one who has the
highest number of
degrees in the sign.
y Sutra 2.1.52: in the case of Rahu consider his degrees and minutes by deducti
ng them from thirty
degrees.
y Sutra 2.1.53: the lord of the 8
th
from AK and the one occupying the 8
th
can be Brahma.
Notes:
1.
o First determine whether As is stronger or the 7
th
house.
o From the stronger house, note the lords of the 6
th
, 8
th
and 12
th
house.
o Note who is the strongest among these. He should be behind. This means , if t
he lagna is
stronger than the 7
th
, the planet should be in the signs from 7
th
to 12
th
of lagna. If the 7
th
is
stronger, it should be in signs 1 to 6 from lagna. And if the sign is an odd sig
n it can be
Brahma.
2.
o If this Brahma happens to be Sa, Ra or Ke, then count the 6
th
planet from the concerned onethe sequence is that of the week days followed by Ra and Ke. (viz. weekdays- Su,
Mo, Ma,
Me, Ju, Ve, Sa, Ra, Ke)
o This 6
th
planet becomes the true Brahma.
o If there are 2 or more such planets qualified for this position, take the one
who is more
advanced as per the degrees and minutes; and he becomes Brahma.
3.
o The lord of the 8
th
from the Atmakaraka (in rasi) can be Brahma.
o The planets occupying the 8
th
from the Atmakaraka can also be Brahma.
o If any candidates are found take the one who is advanced in degrees in the si
gn.
o If the Brahmas have the same advanced degrees, the one in a stronger sign, be
comes Brahma.
y Sutra 2.1.55 : longevity extends from the sign occupied by Brahma to the dasa
period of the sign
occupied by Mahesvara.
y Sutra 2.1.56 : even in the Sthira dasa of the sign occupied by Brahma, take t
he lord of the 8
th
from
Mahesvara sign. The signs in trine (kona) to him will be the sub-period when dea
th takes place in
the period of the sign occupied by Mahesvara.
y Sutra 2.1.57 : from the Ak or Janma lagna take the lords of the 3
rd
, 8
th
, and 12
th
houses. The
strongest of these brings about death.
141
Notes: in all these cases we have to determine first the term (kakshya) of life
as short,
middle and long. Then we have to find the sign causing maraka.
y Sutra 2.1.58 : of the death inflicting planets generally the lord of the 6
th
(Chittanatha) causes death.
Notes: this can be 6
th
from from the janma lagna or the Ak.
y Sutra 2.1.60 : even in the periods of the signs connected with the death infl
icting planets, the subperiods wll be those of the signs occupied by the lords of the 6
th
, 8
th
, and 12
th
counted from the 7
th
of janma lagna or AK.
th
house is
know as Rudra.
Notes : i.e. from the lords of the 2
nd
and the 8
th
houses from lagna , who is stronger?
y Sutra 2.1.36 : even the weaker one can become Rudra, if he is aspected by a m
alefic.
y Sutra 2.1.37 :If the stronger one who is Rudra is aspected by a benefic, the
longevity is up to the
end of Shula dasa.
Notes: Shula rasis are the trikona signs {1, 5, 9}. If one has a short life, de
ath comes before
the period (dasa) of 5
th
sign from Rudra begins. If it is medium life, death is between the
periods of the 5
th
and the 8
th
signs from Rudra. If there is long life, death is in the period of the
9
th
to the 12
th
signs. Or one can mean merely the period of the 1
st
, 5
th
and 9
th
signs from Rudra
respectively.
y Sutra 2.1.38: even when the weaker Rudra is aspected by a benefic and is with
a benefic, longevity
extends up to the end of Shula rasi period.
y Sutra 2.1.39:The above result is not to be predicted if a malefic other than
the Sun is associated
with the condition mentioned in the previous sutra.
Notes: the Su must be in conjunction or aspect with the 1
st
, 5
th
or 9
th
signs for the Shula rasi
periods to be predicted
y Sutra 2.1.42 : Sometimes death can take place in the period of the sign occup
ied by Rudra. It can
even be in the sub-period of this sign.
y Sutra 2.1.43 : when the lagna is Meena (Pisces), death will definitely take p
lace in the major and
Mahesvara.
10. The period of the sign having Rudra can bring about death.
11. Death can come in the periods of the 3
rd
, 6
th
, 8
th
and 12
th
houses from AK. The strongest of these
signs causes death.
Sthira Dasa Sub-Periods
Notes
1. The sub-period of death are in the 5
th
and the 9
th
signs from Mahesvara in the dasa of
Mahesvara rasi or in Sthira dasa
2. The strongest of lords of the 6
th
, 8
th
and 12
th
from AK gives the sub-period of the sign occupied
by them. This is the su-period of death.
3. The sub-period of death is the sign occupied by Rudra.
4. The sub-period of death is the Navamsa sign occupied by a maraka planet and
the 6
th
from it in
Navamsa lagna.
5. When the dvara and bahrya rasis are afflicted, the navamsa dasa of the former
, and the subperiod of the latter.
6. The sub-period of death is when the lord of the 8
th
is exalted. Death comes in the Navamsa
dasa of the 5
th
and 9
th
lords from lagna and the 8
th
house.

Death
The disease from which a person dies is predicted by the nature of a planet whi
ch aspects the
8
th
house and the part of the body to be affected would be that represented by the
8
th
house in
the division under Kalapurusha.the humour belonging to the planet in the 8
th
house causes the
particular disease which produces death. If there are many planets then the body
will be
subjected to many attacks resulting from the excess of the various humours indic
ated by such
planets and death will ensue.
Kalapurusha :
o Each sign of the zodiac represents a certain part of the human body and the d
iseases
peculiar to it and each planet also indicates certain types of diseases. Disease
and death
are due to the disturbances in the laws of proportion and conjunction of natural
forces
emanating from the planets and the times which these disturbances occur, can be
previously ascertained and adequate provision made to arrest or minimise such ev
il
influences.
o The planetary positions at birth clearly indicate the nature of the diseases
one would
suffer from, when and how they would affect us and how best to alleviate them.
o The 12 signs of the Zodiac start from Aries in general but apply them from th
e
Ascendant in a casted birth chart. Thus for Organs and Governance of the Organs:
Aries (1
st
house)=Head brain, nerve centres ; Taurus (2
nd
house)=Face-gullet,
cerebellum; Gemini (3
rd
house)=Chest-lungs, breath, nerve fibres; Cancer (4
th
house)=Heart; Leo (5
th
house)= Belly-blood and liver ; Virgo (6
th
house) =
Waist-bowels and solar plexus; Libra (7
th
house)= Lower Belly-kidneys;
Scorpio (8
th
house)= Sexual organ-excretory system and bladder; Sagittarius (9
th
house)=the two thighs-arterial system; Capricorn (10
th
house)=the two kneesbones and joints; Aquarius (11
th
house)= Buttock-eyes, breath; Pisces (12
th
house)= Feet-lymphatic system
Refer to page 175 for Signs, Houses and Disease Tendencies for the anatomical
structures and diseases for each sign and house.
The ruling planets significance of disease follows:
Sun: cerebellum, brain, blood, lungs, heart, stomach, breasts, ovaries, seminal
vesicles,
diseases of the heart, appendicitis, fistula, inflammatory complaints.
Moon-pericardium, veins, lymphatic vessels, intestinal functions, eyes, alimenta
ry canal,
membrane-genito and urinary derangements, testicle, wind and colic, bronchial ca
tarrah,
dropsy, tumours, insanity, defective eye sight.
Mars-Muscular tissue, muscles, carebral hemispheres- inflammation of the lungs,
heoemoptsis, haemorrhage from the lungs, tuberculosis, hypertrophy, typhoid and
enteric
fever, HIV and other contagious diseases.
Mercury- Nerves, breath, air cells, sense perception, hair, tongue, mouth-nasal
disorders,
impediments of speech, brain and nervous disorders- cancerous brain tumour, asth

house ruler is Saturn which is conjoined with the Sun. In his Rahu/Sun period h
e was
hospitalised.
(iv) the 8
th
ruler Mercury causes brain disorders and Rahu in the 2
nd
kills during his Dasa, Rahu
also aspects the 8
th
house and the Moon the ruler of the 6
th
. Mars conjunct with Mercury intensified
the rapid growth of a diseased brain and in his 20
th
year the native collapsed after complaining of
headaches and died during his Ra/Mo period!
If the 8
th
house is a moveable, a fixed, or a common sign, death occurs in a foreign place
, own
place or while travelling.
In predicting the cause of death, first take the planet occupying the 8
th
house; if no planet is there,
consider the one that aspects the 8
th
house; if no planet aspects it, then give preference to the lord
of the 8
th
house.
The 22
nd
drekkana (decanthe) , which lies the 8
th
from the 1
st
, the 8
th
from the 5
th
or the 8
th
from
the 9
th
bhava, depending on the tri-division of the Ascendants longitude (0-10; 10-20,
20-30), and
declares the cause of death and the lord of that drekkana kills the person by th
at disease which is
attributed to him taken from the Kalapurusha.
Example : Chart of Sri Ramakrishna
The kalpurusha of this Saint shows he died of kidney, thyroid and
throat diseases and the cause of these ailments are found from the
22
nd
drekkana, which is in 10-20 degrees (Ascendant: 17 degrees)
The place, the time and the next world one goes to is illustrated by an example
on the next
page. Some scholars refute this method, while others accept it. It appears to ha
ve merit.

Time and Place of Death (From VarahamihiraBrihat Jatak)
Sutra 25.12
The time of death is to be known from the number of navamsha yet to rise after b
irth. If the lord of the
lagna aspects it, the time must be doubled. If it is aspected by benefics, the t
ime must be trepled.
3 Notes: the navamsha lagna has an owner. Find the place occupied by him. This
sign
gets modified by the aspects on it, association of planets with it, and the Moon
.
The places indicated by the signs are:
Mesha Vrischabha Mithuna Karka Simha Kanya Tula Vrischika Dhanush Makar
a Kumbha Meena
Goats
or
farm
Grazing
lawn
House Watery
place
Wilder
ness
Well
or
water
Store or
shop
Low
places
Farm Marshy
places
House swamp
The following factors are considered to find the place of death:
i. the nature of the sign occupied by the lord of the navamsha rising.
ii. The nature of the navamsha sign occupied by the lord of the navamsha.
151
Sutra 25.14
f Guru, Chandra and Sukra; Ravi and Kuja; and Shani and Budha; bring persons re
spectively from
Devaloka, Pitriloka, Tiryogloka and Narakaloka. As per the drekkana occupied by
the most
powerful between the Sun and the Moon we have to find the high, middle or low st
atus of the
native in his previous birth.
3 Notes: find the stronger between the Sun and the Moon in D-1. Note the drekka
na. The
owner of that drekkana reveals the worlds from which the native has come.
Devaloka belongs to the world of the Gods. Tiryogloka belongs to the world of th
e animals, Pitru
to the Manes and Naraka to Hell.
* The following is from the author of this e-book :
Varahamihira proclaims the Varnas with the above planets.
Maharishi Parasara too uses a similar classification.
Maharishi Jamini son of Vedavyasa and his desciple uses a
15:03 who has a strength of 5 BAV. The stronger Me is in Kumbha and the 1
st
drekkana (02:16) is
ruled by Shani. The native will pass through Narakaloka and the City of Justice,
ruled by
Dharmaraja after death.

Chapter 14 verses 22-29
22. if the lord of 12
th
house be posited in his sign of exaltation, a friendly sign or a varga of a
benefic planet, the native after his death goes upward to heaven. If he is depos
itied in his sign of
debilitation, in an inimical sign or in the varga of a malefic planet, he after
death goes to hell.
Some interpret this as a result of the nature of the sign (of the 12
th
house) i.e. heaven if the sign is a
shirshodaya one and hell if it be a prishtodaya one.
3 Notes: Gemini, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio and Aquarius = Shirshodaya signs.
Aries, Taurus, Cancer, Sagittarius, and Capricorn = Pri
shtodaya signs.
Pisces =Ubhayodaya sign.
Example 22: the 12
th
is Pisces a Ubhayodaya sign. He can go either way to Nirvana or Narakaloka.
23. the refuge after death is indicated by:
(1) the planet or planets deposited in the 12
th
house.
(2) The planet occupying the Navamsa of the 12
th
house, or the planet or planets with which the
lord of the 12
th
be connected.
If: (i) the Sun or Moon be such a planet the abode of the soul after death will
be Kailash.
Example 23: The lord of the 12
th
sign is Guru, he is conjunct with benefic Chandra. He will go to
Kailash of lord Shiva.
If (ii) Mars be the planet concerned, the native will take birth on the Earth
immediately after
death.
If (iii) Mercury be the planet in question, the next world for the native wil
l be Vaikuntha.
If (iv) Jupiter takes the natives soul to Brahmaloka.
If (v) Saturn takes the soul to the abode of Yama.
If (vi) Rahu to other islands and Ketu to hell.
24. it is from the lord of the 9
th
that all is ascertained about the natives past birth and all information
about
his future birth is signified by the lord of the 5
th
house. The particular caste, country and the
direction of the person concerned in his past and future births should be deduce
d from the lords of
the 9t
h
and the 5
th
houses respectively.
Example 24: the lord of the 9
th
is Guru, this is the divine house of Bhagya. He was a Brahmin in
his previous life and lived outside of India. The 5
th
house lord is Surya. He will act as a Kshatriya
for occupation.
25. if the planets referred to above
hould be declared as that
of
Gods (Devaloka). If they be in their
, the abodes of past
and future births should be declared
ts be in their own
sign or a neutral s sign, such place
Example 25: Guru in past life is in an inimical sign Vrishabha; Surya in futur
e birth is in an
inimical sign Makara. He will live outside of his birth country, namely South Af
rica.
26. the parts of India covered by the various planets are as under:153
(1) Sun- mountains and forests
(2) Moon- tracts watered by the holy rivers like Ganga, Yamuna, Narada Godavari
etc.
(3) Mars- Bihar
(4) Mercury- all sacred places.
(5) Jupiter- Aryavarta bordered in the North by Himalayas, in the south by Vindh
ya, and which
extends to oceans in the East and the West.
(6) Venus- same as the Moons places.
(7) Saturn- prohibited places like those inhabited by Mlechchas (non-Hindus).
27. (i) if the planets referred to in verse 24 (lords of the 9
th
and the 5
th
), are posited in a fixed sign or
Navamsa which is Prishtodaya and Adhomukha along with malefics, the past and fut
ure births
of the native should be taken as trees, plants and the like.
Exahmple 27: Guru is in Taurus a fixed sign, and Pristodaya and with a benefic
; Surya is in a chara
(moveable sign) Makara and a Prishtodaya sign with a malefic Sukra. The future b
irth is in a
human body.
(ii) If the lord of the 9
th
and the 5
th
houses occupy a Shirshodaya and an Urdhvamukha sign or a
movable sign or navamsa, and be associated with benefics, the past and future bi
rths will be of an
animal kind.
28. (i) if the lord of the 9
th
or the 5
th
be in a sign of exaltation or own sign to the lord of Lagna [i.e the
9
th
or the 5
th
lords is a depositor in the lord of Lagnas exultation or own sign], it would mea
n
that the natives previous birth (9
th
) or the future birth (5
th
) birth will be that of a human being
Example 28 (i): The lord of Lagna is Ma whose exultation sign is Makara occupi
ed by Surya the
lord of the 5
th
. This satisfies sutra 28 and the native is to be a human being in future birth.
(ii) If the lord of the 9
th
occupied a sign neutral to the lord of the Lagna, the native in the past birth
was born as an animal.
Example 28 (ii): the lord of Lagna Ma is neutral to Sukra the lord of Vrishabh
a to which sign the
lord of the 9
th
Guru is deposited. The native in his past birth was an animal.
(iii) If the lord of the 5
th
be in a sign neutral to the lord of the Lagna, the native in his future birth
will be born as an animal.
(iv) If the lord of the 9
th
occupies the sign of debilitation of the lord of the Lagna or in an inimical
sign, the native was born as a bird in his previous life.
(v) If the lord of the 5
th
be in such a situation, the native will be born as a bird in his next birth.
29. (i) if the lords of the 9
th
and the 5
th
be in the same sign, the past birth was in his own country and
the future birth will also take place there.
(ii) If these two planets be of equal strength, the past and future birth would
be of the same caste.
(iii) The colour and quality will also be similar to these belonging to the lord
s of the 9
th
and the 5
th
houses.

Summary
Sutra 28: the death may take place when Saturn, Jupiter Sun and the Moon in cour
se of their transit
pass through:
(i) The house occupied by the lord of the 8
th
.
(ii) The house occupied by the lord of the 12
th

(iii) The house occupied by the lord of the 6
th

E Using Jyotish Tools computer program www.jyotishtools.com and using the Muhu
rta Tool in the
Tool Menu the following transits can fix the time of death, when the native bec
omes unconscious
before passing, the soul being released only during cremation, unless there is e
vidence in the chart
of a Meritorious Soul or Saint.

Sutras(i) If all the Trik house lords {6, 8, 12} and the 22
nd
-Drekkana lord are in the rasi or Janma
Lagna and at least one of the transiting planets : Saturn, Jupiter, Sun or Moon
are there then
this 1
st
Muhurta chart is the time when bodily debilitation starts.
(ii) If all of the above lords cannot form a conjunction in rasi lagna then plac
e as many of these
transiting parameters as possible in lagna and place the balance in powerful asp
ecting
positions.
o Then this 1
st
Muhurta chart is the time of life when debilitation of body starts.
o If after the 1
st
Muhurtha is taken, the astrologer finds Jupiter already in Revati (sign of
Pisces) then that is the time of death. Jupiter already in Revati is found in th
e charts of
meritorious souls, or jivanmuktas.
o See Example 8
(iii) If Jupiter is not in Revati, place Saturn in the star Bharani in 13:20 d
egrees Mesha (Aries).
Saturn is rotated clockwise to this position in the Muhurtha chart if his positi
on is greater than
13:40 Leo (end of Magha). If Saturn is located less than this rotate Saturn anti
clockwise to the
nakshatra Bharani. i.e., if Saturn is behind Simha in houses 9 to 12 - rotate an
ticlockwise. If
Saturn is in front in houses 1 to 8 and greater than 13:40 Magha in Simha , rota
te clockwise.
o This is the 2
nd
Muhurtha time.
o If after the 2
nd
Muhurtha is taken, the astrologer finds Jupiter has moved to Revati - the
star in the sign of Pisces, then that is the time of death. Jupiter in Revati in
2
nd
Muhurtha is found in the charts of meritorious souls.
o See Examples : 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9.
o If Jupiter is not in Revati; after the 2
nd
Muhurtha, move Jupiter clockwise or
anticlockwise - depending on the stage of life taken from the chart above - to t
he first
trine position to the Divine Mother in Revati.
Jupiter is moved clockwise if age is in 1
st
or 2
nd
stage to the first trine
position ( 5, 9 ) - 16:40 Sign to Revati in Pisces.
Jupiter is moved retrograde (in exultation) anti-clockwise if age in 3
rd
stage
of life -over 66.7 years- to the first trine position 16:40 Sign to Revati in
Pisces.
o This is the 3
rd
Muhurtha time and the time of death. See Examples 1, 2, 3, 4, 10.
o Note: In the data box for each example, the Statistical Age details is found
in the Statistical
Section of this manual.
o The Varahamihira Ages are from his method.

Bharani is said to be the Nakshatra where Yama guides the soul to the astral p
lane , where it
can experience the result of its karma and vasanas from the samskaras and prepar
e for the next
life. This is Yamas first visit. This is the time when one asks Yama to extend li
fe further or
complete it soon. Bharani starts in 13:20 Aries. This is the 1
st
Muhurta or time.
Magha is ruled by the ancestors. Magha Nakshatra causes a change of state or c
ondition, a kind of
death. Usually it shows that we are coming to the end of a cycle. This nakshatra
is a marker on the
movement of Saturn either to extend or to retract, the years of ones life c
ycle. Magha ends in the
sign of 13:40 Leo.
Revati is the great womb of the Divine Mother, revealing the end as well as ne
w beginnings. This
is the 2
nd
Muhurtha given in life charts.The primary motivation of this asterism is moksha
. It is
also associated with deep faith and devotion to Brahman. Meritorious souls end t
heir life cycle in
this star. Pushan the protector of kine is invoked in the Vedas for safe travel
and protects the soul
in its travel to the world of the Devas. Pushan the deity of Revati guides the so
ul to the third
world. Revati starts in 16:40 Pisces.
Finally the 3
rd
Muhurtha date of punya chakra or passing away time is Guru or Jupiter in trine
to
the Divine Mother in Revati. After the body is destroyed by the loss of Prana- t
he vital force, the
soul with its attributes (Avaranas) is to transmigrate away from the dissoluted
material body, pass
in auspicious proximity to the Tara Revati- the womb of the Divine Mother of the
Universe and
journey either in the northerly (uttarayana) or southerly (dakshinayana) directi
on, in its astral
body of light, to the region of its merit. Some will pass through Surya to Satya
loka others to the 3
rd
plane of Chandraloka . Lord Krishna explains this process in the Bhagavad Gita (
chapt 8, verse
22-26) and Muni Vayasa in the Brahma Sutras.

The worlds beloved Gurudeva had colon cancer resulting in
Prayopavesha MahaSamadhi. Rahu in the 7
th
in rasi aspecting
Lagna indicated some type of cancer. Any relation between lords of
the 6
th

above rasi chart (upper left), lord of 6
th
house = Venus, and lord of
8
th
house= Moon. Note Moon/Venus conjunction in the 2
nd
maraka
house in Capricorn aspected by malefic Saturn in Scorpio. In any chart the 6
th
is the house of
disease, and the 8
th
that of the nature of the disease. The Moon is responsible for, among
others, tumors and the digestive system. In the SAV charts of rasi the Moon and
Venus scored
3 and 4 bindu and Saturn only 3 bindus. This relative weakness (out of 8) of the
se planets
means the disease progressed slowly. Benefic Mars aspect on the 6
th

th
houses also helped
to defer their evil effects.
His great works, like Lemurian Scrolls , inspired us to see the Universe differ
ently. Through
his meditations and subsequent writings we became enlightened to the workings of
the divine
world all around us. He revealed the great library of lord Skanda in the 3
rd
world and read from
it the early history of life on earth. Cosmologists should take note of his reve
lations and find
the meaning behind the apparently real but unreal universe, that is always in fl
ux, but blessed
nevertheless with the great abiding bliss of the immortals, like Gurudeva.

Soul, a Saint, in his own time. The Divine Life Society and his more than 200 bo
oks are his
legacy and bring joy to the earth. Like Sri Ramakrishna he made everything seem
so simple,
yet so profound were his words. Like the Agni-Soma universe, in which Shakti is
the words
and Purusha is their meanings, he was the Purushottama.

The importnce of the exct moment of irth need not e stressed. And one of the
toughest jos of n
strologer is to find the exct moment of irth efore venturing to mke ny pre
dictions. In most cses
the exct time of irth will not hve een recorded. From my own experience ther
e re two methods to
use to find the irth time nd which one you use depends on the exiting prmete
rs of time :
DATA 1, irth chrt tht is formed when only the plce of irth, yer nd mont
h of irth re
known.
DATA 2, irth chrt tht is formed when the plce of irth, yer nd month of
irth nd dy of
irth re known.
According to Vrhmihir, there is n intimte connection existing etween the
plnetry positions t
conception nd those t irth. Therefore it is possile to rectify the time of
irth y djusting the Moon
nd Ascendnt t irth nd t conception (prshn).
The numer of dwdshmsh (D-12) present in the longitude of Moon t the time
of
conception (prshn) dded to the sid longitude of the Moon will give the sign
in which the
Moon will e t the time of irth in the 9

To Find the Constellation at Birth
DATA 2
The number of dwadashamsha (D-12) present in the longitude of Moon at the time o
f conception
(prashna) added to the said longitude of the Moon will give the sign in which th
e Moon will be at the
time of birth in the 9

Example:

2:28 hrs @
80W36, 28N5, +5:00 GMT on the 9
th
August, 2009; His date of birth was 29
th
December 1951 in
Miranda (Simla) India- 77E09, 31N06, Time: Unknown
The Prashna and D-12 charts follow:
In the Prashna-Rasi chart the Moon is in Meena and Uttara Bhadrapada nakshatra (
3:20 Pis 16:39
Pis). In the Prashna-Dwadasamsha D-12 chart the Moon is in Mesha 17:38:47. The M
oon in Meena is
23:52 which is 23.8666/2.5 = 9.5467 dwadasamsas Counting 10 from 26 (Moons posi
tion in Uttara
Bhadrapada and the Nakshatra table) one gets Pushya, the proposed constellation
of his birth. To
check to see if the prashna chart is accurate to predict the correct birth time
the following chart is cast
from the above birth parameters:
By Varahamihiras method the Moon cannot be in the constellation of Pushya because
the date of
birth is on the 29 December and moving the Moon to there would change the year o
f birth, month
of birth and day of birth.

+ 5112 Method of Finding Birth Time
(i) Find the Constellation:A devotees date of birth was 29
th
December 1951 in Miranda (Simla) India- 77E09, 31N06, Time:
Unknown
The range of the constellations on the 29
th
day of December, 1951 @ 00:00h and 23:59:59h are
illustrated in the following two charts:
g}. Most of the vowel-consonants are in Dinesh {s, e} a subset of Purva Ashadha. P
urva
Ashadha is chosen!
(ii) Finding the Period (day or night) of Birth Time by Hora: The Hora for daytime and night-time are:
Hora ; divide a sign into two equal parts (D-2).
Odd: The first half of an odd sign is ruled by the S
u. The second half by the Mo.
Even : The first half of an even sign is ruled by the Mo. The
second half by the Su.
From the sign occupied by the Moon is it an odd sign or an even sign? What half
of sign does
the Moon lie in?
o the Moon is in Purva Ashadha from 13:20Sag 26:39Sag. Moon is in an odd sign
and his longitude is in the second-half of the sign. Therefore from the Hora rul
es:
Moon is the ruler of this sign, indicating the night time. Dinesh was born at ni
ght.
(iii) Find the Pada Period of Birth Time from Syllables of a Name:A chart is used for each Nakshatra to translate the syllable of a name and note
which pada it falls
in (see appendix chart)
Note: Name and form constitute the whole universe of existence (Sat). Therefore
a persons name
given by ones parents is intuitive knowledge taken from the cosmic memory of tha
t parent. The
syllables of that name form the mental cognition of that childs existence.
Pada 1 Pada2
Pada3
Pada4
PurvaAshadha: bhuu (ai) dha (T) pha (dh) Dha (g)
Note: the navamsa name is in brackets.
From the chart of Naama (sounds) find the pada (time) from the sarvatobhadra ch
art vowels
and consonants that are in a square formed from the Moon (Mo) to the Ascendant (
As). The
syllable set is : {i, bh, y, au, am, n, e, t~, p, r, n, t} the subset for Purva
Ashadha is :
{i, bh, p, t}.
The strongest vowel-consonant is the intersection of the Mo and the As. Which i
s {i}, but there
is no {a} to combine with it. Therefore only {t} is found in the subset above. P
ada 2 is
chosen!
Each pada has a time of 6 hours running from midnight to 06:00hr for the 1
st
period; 06:0012:00 for the 2
nd
period; 12:00-18:00 for the 3
rd
period and 18:00-24:00 for the 4
th
period
Dinesh was born in the second 6 hour period: 06:00-12:00 hrs.
(iv) Find the Complete Birth Time from Transverse of Longitude:-
To find the complete time use the Naam-pada and Hora and find the degrees of tr
ansverse
of the lord of the strongest trinal sign.
To find the complete time use the Naam-pada and Hora and find the degrees of tr
ansverse
of the lord of the strongest trinal sign from the strongest Moon-lagna or Ascen
dant-lagna.
From above, the Ascendant was stronger.
o The Ascendant lagna has a strength of 35 SAV; the 5
th
sign from that has a strength
of 29 SAV and the 9
th
sign 21 SAV. The Lagna is the strongest trine.
o The amount of time is represented by the number of degrees transversed by the
lord
of the strongest trinal sign. The lord of the Lagna is Budha. Mercury at 23:00
degrees Scorpio was found to be the strongest transversing planet and using the
rule
of three: [23/30]*13.33=10:13:19 degrees in the constellation of Purva Ashadha.
174
Note: there are 800 minutes and 13:20 degrees in a Nakshatra. Adding 10:13:19
degrees to PurvaShadha which starts at 13:20Sag= 23:33:19 Sagittarius.
o In the Muhurtha chart move the Moon to 23:33:19 Sagittarius and note the time
of
this chart to find the birth time. The final birth chart is below. Time 10:12:19
.

Ayurvedic Astrology
The main correlation between Vedic medicine and Vedic astrology is that between
doshas and the
planets, with three doshas corresponding to each of the three planets. The dosha
s are not faults but the
constituent part of ones Prakruti or constitution. They are necessary for life f
unction and are in balance
when one is considered healthy. When they go out of balance due to improper life
Saturn, is a Vata dosha planet, light, dry, cold, mobile and slow moving in the
birth charts. Saturn as
such indicates redemption through renunciation, fasting and abstemsion. Life ter
m is shortened if
aggravation of this dosha occurs as Saturn is key to longevity in the Ayurvedic
sciences. As a planet of
loss interpreted as physical disabilities, the vata disorders are: stiffness and
pain in the arms, neck,
chest, back, legs, thighs, kness, calfs and ankles. Bradycardia, tachycardia, ar
thritis, astringent taste in
the mouth, earache, tinnitus, deafness, pain in the jaw, pain in the eye, amauro
sis (eye loss), ptosis of
eyelid and eye brow, headache, pain in the abdomen, prolapsed rectum, pain aroun
d the pelvic girdle,
mass peristalsis, dandruff, asthenia, delirium, insomnia and unstable mentality.
Sun, is a Pitta dosha planet, hot, sharp, light, liquid with spreading rays whic
h increases pitta.
Aggravation of this dosha by excess sun can cause heating, dizziness, fainting,
hemorrhage, bitter taste
in the mouth, nausea, diarhea, rashes, hives, urticaria, jaundice, eczema, conju
nctivitis, stomatitis,
pharyngitis, herpes, acne, skin allergies and skin cancer.
Moon, is a Kapha dosha planet, slow/dull, cold, liquid, slimy and smooth. In the
psychology of the
mind the Moon is key to the Manas. On this level the aggravation of Kapha Dosha
creates depression,
anorexia nervosa, excess sleep, heaviness of the body, laziness, sweet taste in
the mouth, mucous
expectoration, loss of strength, indigestion, obesity, hardening of vessels, urt
icaria, whiteness of eyes,
urine and feces.
Rahu-the north node side of the Moon, is similar to Saturn in its doshas but mor
e severe. In the 8
th
or
12
th
position in a birth chart much damage to a natives long lasting health can occu
r. See the table of
diseases for Rahu.
Mercury-is a Vata dosha planet, and its quixotic mobile nature aggrates the psyc
hology in the Vata
humour. Mercury corresponds to the nervous system, communication (speech, mind a
nd intellect).
Disease Factors: weak lungs and a sensistive nervous system.
Diseases: Bronchitis, Allergies (skin and food), Hay fever, Speech defects, Dem
entia, Growth
Endocrine. All these diseases are likely in childhood.
176
Mars-is a Pitta dosha planet second only to Saturn for causing diseases and ind
icates fever,
inflammation, infection and acute conditions.
Diseases: Liver disease = Hepatitus A,B,C, Jaundice, Cancer, Acne, Boils, Skin
Ulcerations,
Herpes Simplex, STDs.
Ketu-is a Pitta dosha planet and the heating nature of this dosha causes inflamm
ation of diseases of
the nervous system and brain tissue, in a subtle way. Ketu involves coordination
or strength of the
muscular system, including the onset of neuro-muscular diseases. It can also ind
icate accidents,
injuries and wounds particularly those owing to collective factors like wars or
catastrophies.
Ketu in Mundane astrology should be the planet chosen for study in predicting su
ch disasters.
Disease Factors: psychological imbalances, neuromuscular disorders, febrile dis
eases, cancer.
Diseases: Dementia, Alzheimers, Parkinsons, Multiple Sclerosis.
Venus-is a Kapha dosha planet and causes diseases through indulgencies or luxuri
ous living styles.
The reproductive systems may be involved.
Disease Factors: the kidneys and reproductive system.
Diseases: Menstural Cramps, PMS (post menstrual stress), Prostate disfunction,
Impotence,
Infertility, Renal inclusions (stones), Urinary tract infections. Venereals.
Jupiter- is a Kapha dosha planet that creates bulk in the body. It is like Venus
, it can cause diseases
through self-indulgencies. Overweight, obesity are some self-made afflictions.
Disease Factors: overweight, excess fluid, high blood-sugar.
Diseases: Diabetes, Edema, Obesity, High LDL, Hyperglycemia, Liver conditions.
The Signs and the Five Elements (Bhutas)
Air Signs- Gemini, Libra, Aquarius
Fire Signs- Aries, Leo, Saggitarius
Water signs- Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces
Earth Signs- Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn
Air Signs are like Vata dosha- afford good development of
us system, but give
no endurance so a native can suffer from overwork or over
Fire Signs are like Pitta dosha- endow a native with good
tion, good circulation
and excellent resistance to disease, owing to the ability
both nurish the body and
burn up pathogens.
Water Signs are like Kapha dosha- provides a good development of the bodily tiss
ues, which consist
primarily of water, but have a tendency toward disease through excess water or w
eight, so their
resistance to disease can be limited.
Earth Signs are like Kapha dosha- have the weakest potential in terms of health,
because they keep
ones energy on a physical level, and can increase entropy or the forces that cau
se decay. On the
positive side they can give athletic, healing or creative powers.
The Qualities of the Signs by the Dosha of the Ruling Planet
Aries, Leo, Scorpio ruled by Mars and Sun are Pitta in quality.
Taurus, Cancer, Libra, Saggitarius ruled by Venus, Moon and Jupiter are Kapha i
n quality.
Gemini, Virgo, Capricorn, Aquarius ruled by Mercury and Saturn are Vata in qual
ity.
Note: In some Jyotisha systems, viz. Parasara system, the planets are more impor
tant than the
signs, in others the signs are more important than the planets viz. Jaimini syst
em. Use the required
system for its important properties.

towards the
unfullfillment of hopes and desires. Yet when one recognises the cause of desire
as nothing more than
the false-ego and hope as like a future unborn child, hunger and thirst diminish
es as spiritual
awakening rises. The 9
th
house is ruled from this position of the Moon and as this is the house of
Brahman, the native will eventually pursue sadhanas and with a discriminative mi
nd move towards
enlightenment.
184
Sagittarius Moon- the down side of the Moon in this position is 8
th
house ownership with its
instability, disease, ill-fame, loss of friends, unexpected troubles etc. But wh
en the Moon is waxing
here good luck from unearned income or inheritance or other windfalls is possibl
e. Psychologically
one may become zealous or a fanatic, this flip side not very much better than th
e down side. Natives
with this Moon in Sagittarius need to activate their spiritual natures and throu
gh penance and
propitiation raise their Self by their Self.
Capricorn Moon- under the influence of lord Vishnu and the eight Vasus, the ruli
ng deities of the
constellations of Shravana and Dhanishtha, the natal Moon is bent toward a mind
of sustenance and
provision for all types of social responsibilities, for the home, the business,
ones temple or church,
marriage and family, from the ruling 7th house. The ruling lord of sign Saturn m
ay increase or
decrease the wealth of sustenance depending on how the native propitiates him, e
specially during the
periods of Sadhe Sati.
Aquarius Moon- The Moon from this position rules the 6
th
house of potential diseases, wars, mental
afflictions, injuries and accidents. Aquarius is an airy sign and this mobility
may be the cause of ones
debility or dementia. If viewed positively the minds mobility may enhanced by me
ditation ones
spiritual progress towards Samadhi, savikalpa or nirvikalpa. This is a good hous
e to recognise ones

Nakshatras in Detail
This section appeared earlier in the Reference Manual under Nakshatras. This de
tailed section under
Ayurvedic Astrology reveals further the attributes of the constellations from th
e mental and physical
view. Natal Astrology and Ayurvedic Astrology complement each other.
Shaktis of the Nakshatras
Each Nakshatra has its particular Shakti or physiology and a ruling Deity.
From the ancient Vedic text Taittiriya Brahmana I.5.1 and the commentary of Bha
ttabhaskara Mishra,
the following Nakshatras are revealed for their divinity (above) and power (belo
w):
Ashwini
Cures of ones physical ailments can occur during this period of the Moons naksh
atra in
Ashwini if worship to the twin Aswins are made.
Ashwini is govern by the Ashwins, the twin horsemen. It has the power to quickly
reach things
(shidhra vyapani shakti). Its basis above are the creatures to be healed. Its ba
sis below is the healing
therapies. From these three the entire world becomes free of disease.
Bharani
Shows movement of the soul away from the body. If Saturn is placed in 13:20 deg
rees Bharani
after clockwise or counter-clockwise rotation from Magha, this is the approximat
e time of
death.
Bharani is ruled by Yama, the God of Death. It has the power to take things away
(apabharani shakti).
Ninth House

Pushya
Religious and spiritual practices-sadhanas bear fruit during this time.
Pushya is ruled by Brihaspati, the God of Divine wisdom. Its power is the abilit
y to create spiritual
energy (brahmavarchasa shakti). Its basis above is sacrificial worship. Its basi
s below is the
worshipper. These three result in the creation of spiritual energy.
Aslesha
Vasanas or mental temperaments rise from ones personality during this period, t
hey can harm
or benefit one depending on how one uses this energy.
Aslesha is ruled by the serpent God. It has the power to inflict with poison (vi
190
Vishakha is ruled by Indra and Agni, who represent the powers of heat and lightn
ing in the
Atmosphere. It gives the power to achieve many and various fruits in life (vyapa
na shakti). Its basis
above is plowing or cultivation. Its basis below is the harvest. These three giv
es us the fruit of the
harvest.
Anuradha
One has a balanced relationship during this Nakshatra.
Anuradha is ruled by Mitra, the Divine Friend. It gives the power of worship (ra
dhana shakti). Its basis
above is ascension. Its basis below is descension. From these three honor and ab
undance is gained.
Jyeshta
Heightened courage and ability is felt during this period.
Jyeshta is ruled by Indra, the ruler of the Gods. It has the power to rise or co
nquer, and gain courage in
battle (arohana shakti). Its basis above is attack and its basis below is defens
e. The result of these three
is that one becomes a hero.
Mula
One conquers physical and mental problems that are the root cause of affliction
.
Mula is ruled by Nirriti, the Goddess of destruction. It has the power to ruin o
r destroy. Its basis above
is breaking things apart (barhana shakti). Its basis below is crushing things. T
hrough these three one
gains the power to destroy destruction.
Purvashadha
From Varuna a spiritual bath renews and purifies one if one acts positively durin
g this
constellation.
Purvashadha is ruled by the Waters (Apas). Its power is that of invigoration (va
rchograhana shakti). Its
basis above is strength. Its basis below is connection. Through these three one
gains lustre.
Uttarashadha
If one acts virtuously and helpfully with devotees, they will effect positive d
harsam and
191
through this power one will achieve ones goals.
Uttarashadha is ruled by the Universal Gods (Vishwe Deva). Its power is grant an
unchallengeable
victory (apradhrisya shakti). Its basis above is the strength to win. Its basis
below is the goal that one
can win. From these three one becomes the unchallenged winner.
Shravana
One unites people together for good causes in this constellation.
Shravana is ruled by Vishnu, the pervador. Its power is that of connection (samh
anana shakti). Its basis
above is seeking. Its basis below are the paths. The result of these three is th
e connection of all things
together.
Dhanishta
One receives abundance and fame in this constellation after Shravana.

constitutions. Use Prakruti Test to find your dominant constitution type (V, P,
or K).
Ancient Indian sexology insists that individuals of like constitution (prakruti)
be paired together-Vs
with Vs, Ps with Ps, and Ks with Ks- because of their inherent sexual procliviti
es. Ayurvedic wisdom
adds that types make better mates because of similar mental processes and attitu
des. Dual doshas, VP,
PK and VK add a different dimension to marriage compatable types. A VP mated wit
h a PK form one
of the most stable of relationships. A VK and a PK can also to a lesser degree f
orm a good match.
Summary
Stable relationships are formed from common constitutional types. The mutual exc
ess that occurs in
dual dosha pairings is easier for a couple to endure than the strained dynamic i
nherent in a pairing of
two people whose constitutions differ radically. Two constitutionally similar in
dividuals involved with
one another intuitively understand the forces that motivate them. But be aware t
hat marriage alliance is
not a simple act of choice based on only a few principles. The method of pairing
by constitution is
only one of the many tools to use in choosing a life partner. This method of Pra
kruti pairing is based
on ones constitution or body type with sensual mental overtones. True marriage i
s based on spiritual
vows like one takes during the seven steps around the homa during the wedding ce
remony. So it is
best to use the above table as a guide only and apply all the dharmic marriage i
njunctions given in this
reference manual to find ones spiritual match, really made in heaven by the Deva
s.

Date For Ground-Breaking :
1. the month of Sravana (7/21/09 to 8/19/09 ) is the first favourable
month from the above proceeding
date.
2. the first possible date of commencement (ground-breaking, fence erection) is
26 July 2009.
3. the time is not to be before 07 21hrs EST for commencement (+1 hour for Amer
ican Daylight
Savings Time).
4. the Sun was placed in the 4
th
sign Karka (9:39 Cancer), a moveable sign. It may be noted that
Surya is in the Nakshatra of Pushya, the most auspicious and atmakaraka of
the constellations.
5. the Moon was placed in 10:00 Virgo (Kanya) in the nakshatra Hasta, and is mo
st auspicious.
6. the tithi is even Shasti (6
th
lunar day), and is most auspicious.
7. the weekday day is Sunday and a strong day because of the celebration of the
festival of Naag
Panchami. A Puja to the Nagas of the temple plot could be done and milk pour
ed into any snake
hole found.
8. the 8
th
house is empty as required by Vastu Law. Thus the Lagna was placed in Simha (As
00:02)
so as to have the 8
th
house empty. The Papasthana Houses {3, 6, 11} are occupied by malefic
planets: Moon,
Rahu, Venus. The kendras {1, 4, 7, 10} are occupied by benefics : Jupiter a
nd Mars. For Simha
Lagna the
following summary chart of Benefics, Malefics, and various Houses are found

Checking for Vedhas and the Ashtakavarga of the Planets and Signs :
(i) In the above chart none of the planets in the above signs effect any vedhas.
This is quite remarkable
as some always occur. This date of commencement is blessed for groundbreaki
ng.
(ii) The strength of the planets (BAV-Binnastakavarda) are in Bindus out of 8:
Jupiter/Mars/Venus/Ascendant = 5; Mercury/Sun = 4; Moon= 6; Saturn= 2.
The strength of signs (SAV-Sarvastakavarda) are out of 35:
Vrishabha = 35 (occupied by Mangala/Sukra); Karka = 25 (occupied by Surya/
Budha); Simha= 23
(Occupied by Sani, Lagna); Kanya=25 (Occupied by Chandra); Kumbha= 27 (Occ
upied by
Guru).
Results (Bhashya) :
There is sufficient strength of the major planets and signs to effect ther
e positive asterisms against
any doshas. Kuja and Sukra are particularly strong planets. Mars is the y
ogakaraka and these
planets are in a strong rasi. They show that the strength of the administr
ation of the temple will be
strong, positive, fair and have good mental and emotional aisvaryas. The p
lanet Guru in Kumbha
reveals that the Hotri of this temple will be of strong virtue of good con
duct and shower
compassion on all the devotees. Sani aspects Guru from the rising Lagna. S
ani always signifys
dispassion or vairagya in his positive role. In this case Sani in a negati
ve role is weak and unable
197
to effect any negativity on the Hotri or devotees of the temple, even if t
hey were in Sade Sati.

Finally the key to the interpretation of this divine chart is to be found in Jai
mini analysis of the D-9
Navamsa chart of Satya Sai Baba. If the above view was from Maharishi Parasara,
and the following
chart from Jaimini corrolates then there can be no doubts to Satya Sai Babas div
inity and truthful
nature.

Sutras(i) If all the Trik house lords {6, 8, 12} and the 22
nd
-Drekkana lord are in the rasi or Janma
Lagna and at least one of the transiting planets : Saturn, Jupiter, Sun or Moon
are there then
this 1
st
Muhurta chart is the time when bodily debilitation starts.
(ii) If all of the above lords cannot form a conjunction in rasi lagna then plac
e as many of these
transiting parameters as possible in lagna and place the balance in powerful asp
ecting
positions.
o Then this 1
st
Muhurta chart is the time of life when debilitation of body starts.
o If after the 1
st
Muhurtha is taken, the astrologer finds Jupiter already in Revati (sign of
Pisces) then that is the time of death. Jupiter already in Revati is found in th
e charts of
meritorious souls, or jivanmuktas.
(iii) If Jupiter is not in Revati, place Saturn in the star Bharani in 13:20 deg
rees Mesha (Aries).
Saturn is rotated clockwise to this position in the Muhurtha chart if his positi
on is
greater than 13:40 Leo (end of Magha). If Saturn is located less than this rotat
e Saturn
anticlockwise to the nakshatra Bharani. i.e., if Saturn is behind Simha in house
s 9 to 12
- rotate anticlockwise. If Saturn is in front in houses 1 to 8 and greater than
13:40
Magha in Simha , rotate clockwise.
o This is the 2
nd
Muhurtha time.
o If after the 2
nd
Muhurtha is taken, the astrologer finds Jupiter has moved to Revati - the
star in the sign of Pisces, then that is the time of death. Jupiter in Revati in
2
nd
Muhurtha is found in the charts of meritorious souls.
o If Jupiter is not in Revati; after the 2
nd
Muhurtha, move Jupiter clockwise or
anticlockwise - depending on the stage of life taken from the chart above - to t
he first
trine position to the Divine Mother in Revati.
Jupiter is moved clockwise if age is in 1
st
or 2
nd
stage to the first trine
position ( 5, 9 ) - 16:40 Sign to Revati in Pisces.
Jupiter is moved retrograde (in exultation) anti-clockwise if age in 3
rd
stage
of life -over 66.7 years- to the first trine position 16:40 Sign to Revati in
Pisces.
o This is the 3
rd
Muhurtha time and the time of death.

Bharani is said to be the Nakshatra where Yama guides the soul to the astral p
lane , where it
can experience the result of its karma and vasanas from the samskaras and prepar
e for the next
life. This is Yamas first visit. This is the time when one asks Yama to extend li
fe further or
complete it soon. Bharani starts in 13:20 Aries. This is the 1
st
Muhurta or time.
Magha is ruled by the ancestors. Magha Nakshatra causes a change of state or c
ondition, a kind of
death. Usually it shows that we are coming to the end of a cycle. This nakshatra
is a marker on the
movement of Saturn either to extend or to retract, the years of ones life c
ycle. Magha ends in the
sign of 13:40 Leo.
Revati is the great womb of the Divine Mother, revealing the end as well as ne
w beginnings. This
is the 2
nd
Muhurtha given in life charts.The primary motivation of this asterism is moksha
. It is
also associated with deep faith and devotion to Brahman. Meritorious souls end t
heir life cycle in
this star. Pushan the protector of kine is invoked in the Vedas for safe travel
and protects the soul
in its travel to the world of the Devas. Pushan the deity of Revati guides the so
ul to the third
world. Revati starts in 16:40 Pisces.
Finally the 3
rd
Muhurtha date of punya chakra or passing away time is Guru or Jupiter in trine
to the
Divine Mother in Revati. After the body is destroyed by the loss of Prana- the v
ital force, the soul
with its attributes (Avaranas) is to transmigrate away from the dissoluted mater
ial body, pass in
auspicious proximity to the Tara Revati- the womb of the Divine Mother of the Un
iverse and journey
either in the northerly (uttarayana) or southerly (dakshinayana) direction, in i
ts astral body of light, to
the region of its merit. Some will pass through Surya to Satyaloka others to the
3
rd
plane of
Chandraloka . Lord Krishna explains this process in the Bhagavad Gita (chapt 8,
verse 22-26) and
Muni Vayasa in the Brahma Sutras.

Satya Sai Baba ends his life cycle here on Earth in Ashlesha. The significance
of his birth
in the Ardra star and end in Ashlesha cannot be more emphasized than this:
Lord Shiva starts the Maha Shiva Ratri when the Ardra star is bright on the hori
zon during the
month of Phalguna on the cathurdashi of krishna paksha, then the Moon is in Srav
ana.
Satya Sai Baba had his birth in the nakshatra of Ardra on the chaturdashi of kri
shna paksha in
the auspicious month of Margasira and ends his life in the Rahu/Sun Dasa of the
star
representing the coiled snake or kundalini (Ashlesha) as its deity is Sarpa or S
eshnaga and lies
completely within the Zodiacal sign of Karka (Cancer). This sign of Cancer is ru
led by
Chandra (Moon) which as the Mother, a female sign, is Devi Seshnagi the mother o
f
Laksmana the mighty brother of Lord Sri Ramachandra. The Nakshatra Ashlesha is
ruled by
Budha (Mercury). Budha as the divine Mother Saraswati gives the power of speech
and divine
knowledge. Notice in the chart Jupiter is with Mercury. This is highly auspiciou
s. Sri
Ramakrishna ended his life cycle in Hasta the star that promotes the practice of
meditation and
yoga to which he was an exponent of, so to Sri Satya Sai Baba ends his mission o
n Earth in a
constellation that promotes the power of the kundalini that sits at the base of
the spine that
gives energy when awakened during meditation and spins the wheels at each chakra
of the
body. as it moves up to the sahasrara chakra of Lord Sadashiva; thus the electri
fying shakti to
elevate the mind and intellect to the outer body superconscious state- the dhara
na of elevation
to the metaphysical enlightened state to which the 5-elements cannot affect even
the body left
behind, is represented by Satya Sai Baba leaving the earth or reentering the ear
th during 2026.
The dictum of Satya Sai Baba is, Love All, Serve All. By practicing this and learn
ing from
Satya Sai Baba how to elevate our mind out of our mundane body existence, for by
raising the
kundalini, we will experience the enlightenment, the bliss of the Self.
Om Sayeeshwaraya Vidmahe Sathya Devaya Dheemahi Tannah Sarvah Prachodayaat.

The Shiva-Shakti Mahasamadhi Chart
In 1960 Satya Sai Baba said he had 59 years left to live because he was to give
up his body (tyage
kshepani shakti) to make way for the third incarnation in the trinity of Shrdi S
ai Baba-the dharma of
work, Satya Sai Baba-the dharma of worship and become Prema Sai Baba-dharma of w
isdom. He said
this third incarnation will take place about 8 years after his death (7yr. 1mo.
6 days from above chart).
Shrdi Sai Baba was the avatar of Shiva, Satya Sai Baba is the avatar of Shiva-Sa
kti and Prema Sai
Baba would be the avatar of Shakti although he said he will be in the male gende
r.
The natural chart of his mahasamadhi during 2026 fits in well with his divine na
ture and purva punya
(passing). The star Ashlesha represents the kundalini electrifying shakti and sp
iritual enligtenment.
Then what attributes does the chart hold when he gives up his prana earlier in a
2019 mahasamadhi?
Since the parameters of the 2026 chart must also be the same as the 2019 chart f
or mahasamadhi - the
question is, is this possible? Absolutely!! Look at the 2019 chart in the sign o
f Karka (Cancer)
compared to the 2026 chart. Budha is still there, retrograde and exaulted! Guru
(Jupiter) must still
aspect the tara (star) Revati in Meena (Pisces) for the chart to be a Mahasamadh
i chart and it does so
retrograde and exalted) in the sign of Vrischika-Scorpio!
Thus the Avatar takes the form of Prema-Shakti and conquers evil through Prema a
nd Vijnanam-Love
and Wisdom. This will be a great awakening for non-devotees and a blessing to de
votees from Prema
Sai Baba in the world after 2019 and the 2026 chart would be the birth chart of
the next and final
incarnation.

signs, Virgo and Pisces. Aries, Taurus, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn can be invol
ved. Any relation
between the lords of the 6
th
and the 8
th
makes for a high intensity of the ailment leading to cancer. In
any chart the 6
th
is the house of disease, and the 8
th
that of the nature of death. Cancer is an infection of
the blood, and blood comes under the Moon and Mars, also under the Sun. The main
tenance of the
cells is regulated by the Sun, the Moon and Jupiter; and any affliction to these
comes from Mars and
Saturn. Rahu governs any form of malignant growth. The 6
th
and the 8
th
house lords are Shani and
Kuja, who are in the 6
th
house of disease. The significance of Kuja and Shani in this regard are
summarised:
Mars blood, blood pressure, marrow (Leukemia), neck, uterus (ovarian cancer),
inflammations (that lead to cancer), osteoporosis (bone decay).
Saturn legs, hands and mouth.
The fact that these planets are in the chart in bad signs and conjoined does no
t mean one
will get cancer. One has to examine all the factors; the periods of the planets,
their
strengths, and the divisional charts D-6 (health troubles), D-8 (sudden and unex
pected
213
troubles), D-16 (happiness, comforts and discomforts) and D-30 (diseases,
punishments). Prognosis can be determined by the strengths or weaknesses of Kuja
, Shani
and the sign they are in:
Kalapurushas:
Face the factors to be considered are : Moon, Venus, the 2
nd
house and Taurus, besides
Mars, Saturn and Rahu.
Lungs come under the 3

house, Gemini, Aries, Libra and Mercury.
Throat is mostly governed by houses the 2

Cancer of the Stomach comes under the houses the 5

th
, Leo the Sun and
Jupiter as the lord of the Drekkana occupied by Saturn.
Cancer of the Spleen as that of the lungs is indicated by the Moon and Rahu.
Cancer of the Hips- is controlled by houses the 6

and the 10
th
, Sagittarius, and
Jupiter.
Cancer of the Spine is indicated by Karka, Capricorn and Saturn.
Cancer of the Blood (Lukemia) is indicated by the Moon and Mars, and also by th

relation to these and to Saturn.
Cancer of the Gall Bladder refers to the 8
th
house and to Scorpio and Pisces.
Uterine Cancer refers to the Moon, Mercury, Venus, Saturn and the 7

house.
Analysis:
Use the Chara Paryaya Dasa in Jagannatha 7.33 to diagnose for Cancer.
The period from the Chara Paryaya Dasa of D-6 Health Chart below is:
Ma/Sa in Gemini on to 2057-01-15 to 2057-11-17. the cancers that can take place
from
Gemini during this time are the Lungs and or Breast taken from the list above. F
or the planets
Saturn and Mars to give their malefic effects they have to be strong and without
opposition
from other planets in the birth chart (vedhas). The planet strengths are: Shani=
2 (weak),
Kuja=5 (strong) and the sign strength = 30 (strong). There are no vedhas.
+ Cancer is possible because Kuja is strong in Chara Paryaya Dasa of the health
chart.
+ Treatment is prevention by palpation and observation of the breast area throu
ghout life and
especially leading years up to 2057.
214
The period from the Chara Paryaya Dasa of D-8 below is:
Ma/Sa in Pisces on 2081-03-16 to 2087-03-16. the cancers that can take pl
ace from Pisces during
these times are cancer of the gall bladder. The planet strengths are: Shan
i= 1 (weak), Kuja=3
(weak) and the sign strength = 27 (below average strength). There are no v
edhas. Cancer of the
gall bladder is unlikely due to weakness of planets giving effect.
The period from the Chara Paryaya Dasa of D-16 below is:
Ma/Sa in Aquarius on 2011-03-16 to 2016-03-15. The cancers that can take place
from Aquarius
during this time are none.
215
The period from the Chara Paryaya Dasa of D-30 below is:
Ma/Sa in Saggitarius on 2048-03-15 to 2054-03-16. The cancers that can t
ake place from
Saggitarius during this time are cancer of the hips. The planet strength
s are: Shani= 2 (weak),
Kuja=2 (weak) and the sign strength = 26 (below average strength). Cance
r of the hip is
unlikely due to extreme weakness of planets .There are no vedhas.

Jaimini Sutram
by Maharishi Jaimini
+ Summary of the Sutrams for Birth Chart Analysis:Aspecting signs and aspecting planets within those signs follow the twelve signs
of the Zodiac
beginning with Mesha (Aries). They are classified sequentially into Cardinal sig
ns {1, 4, 7, 10},
Fixed signs {2, 5, 8, 11}, and Mixed signs {3, 6, 9, 12}.
y Sutra 1.2 : The Cardinal signs aspect the Fixed signs; the Fixed signs aspect
the Cardinal signs; the
Mixed signs aspect themselves.
y Sutra 1.3 : The planets occupying a sign have aspects similar to those of the
sign concerned.

Atmakaraka
y Sutra 1.10 : among the seven planets from the Sun to Saturn , or among the ei
ght including
Rahu, the planet which has obtained the highest number of degrees becomes the At
makaraka.

disposition like
debility or exaltation, associaton with benefics or malefics.
y Sutra 1.12:After the atmakaraka the planet that has advenced to the higest de
gree becomes the
amatyakaraka.
y Sutra 1.26 : in all odd signs the counting is to be in the right (clockwise )
direction.
In even signs the direction is to be in the reverse (anti-clockwise) direction.
y Sutra 1.27 : in some cases this procedure is not applicable.
E Example: in sthira dasa method of longevity the Vrishamapada odd group of sig
ns are
: {1,2,3,7,8,9} the Samapada even group of signs are : {4,5,6,10,11,12}

Sutra 1.30 : Arudha lagna is obtained by counting as many signs from the sign (e
ven signscount anticlkwise, odd signs count clkwise as per normal counting from Sutra 1.2
6) occupied
by its lord as he is away from the lagna (sign under consideration).
Sutra 1. 31: if the lord of the sign is in the 4
th
from it, the 4
th
from it is its arudha.
f Notes:This is an example from Jaimini, and would make the arudha fall in the
7
th
from that sign.
The 10
th
from that would bring the sign to the 4
th
from the lagna (beginning sign).
Sutra 1.32: if the lord of a sign is in the 7
th
from it, that very sign becomes its arudha.

Unknown Birth Time Vishveshvaran
The importance of the exact moment of birth need not be stressed. And one of the
toughest jobs of an
astrologer is to find the exact moment of birth before venturing to make any pre
dictions. In most cases
the exact time of birth will not have been recorded.From my own experience there
are two methods to
use to find the birth time and which one you use depends on the exiting paramete
rs of time :
Data 1, birth chart that is formed when only the place of birth, year and mont
h of birth are known.
Data 2, birth chart that is formed when the place of birth, year and month of
birth and day of birth
are known.
According to ancient astrologer Varahamihira, there is an intimate connection ex
isting between the
planetary positions at conception and those at birth. Therefore it is possible t
o rectify the time of birth
by adjusting the Moon and Ascendant at birth and at conception (prasna).
e a persons
name given by ones parents is intuitive knowledge taken from the cosmic memory
of that
parent. The syllables of that name form the mental cognition of that childs ex
istence.

Ma is the Mahesvara.

short lives. In the same way we have to consider the lords of the 2
nd
and the 8
th
house from the
AK also.
Notes: of the lords of the 2
nd
and the 8
th
, we have to find out who is stronger. It is the stronger
one we have to consider and see whether he is in the kendras, panap1haras or apo
klimas. If the
lagna is odd, the 8
th
house is counted clkwise; and if it is an even sign the 8
th
is taken in the
anti
clkwise manner.
The 8
th
house lord is Ma @ 5BAV and occupies the Lagna and in his own sign, this is a
Kendra. The 2
nd
house lord is VE @ 4BAV. Mars is stronger.
Ma in a Kendra gives long
life.
Notes: Shoola rasis are the trikona signs {1, 5, 9}. If one has a short life, d
eath comes before
the period (dasa) of 5
th
sign from Rudra begins. If it is medium life, death is between the
periods of the 5
th
and the 9
th
signs from Rudra. If there is long life, death is in the period of the
9
th
to the 12
th
signs.
Sutra 2.1.38: even when the weaker Rudra is aspected by a benefic and is with a
benefic,
longevity extends up to the end of Shula rasi period.
y Sutra 2.1.39:The above result is not to be predicted if a malefic other than
the Sun is associated
with the condition mentioned in the previous sutra.
Notes: the Su must be in conjunction or aspect with the 1
st
, 5
th
or 9
th
signs for the Shula rasi
periods to be predicted.
o The Sun is in Makara thus in aspect with the 5
th
sign (by Jaiminis Aspect Chart). For Jaimini
a Bhava and a Rasi are the same thing. The Shula Dasa is applicable thus from su
tra 2.1.39.

Sthira Dasa
Jaimini called this dasa Sthira because the number of years in each dasa is fixe
d. This dasa is
important in fixing also the time of death.
Movable signs {1, 4, 7, 10} chara
have a duration of 7 years each.
Fixed signs {2, 5, 8, 11} sthira
have a duration of 8 years each.
Common signs {3, 6, 9, 12}
dvisvabhava
have a duration of 9 years each.
+ The Sthira dasa starts from the sign where Brahma is located.
When Brahma is an odd sign, the dasas follow the clkwise pattern

Children
Having Children (i) :
* Ju the significator of children is in the 5
th
the house of children for male
natives.
Parasharas combinations for having children :
Su, Ra, Me, in the 5

while Ju is well associated (aspecting these planets,
conjunct, in a kona, etc.)
5
th
lord in a benefic sign with a benefic aspect while Ju is in a kendra.
Interchange of the 1
st
and 5
th
lords, when Ju is in a kendra or kona.
The lord of the 5
th
or Ju in the 5
th
aspected by or associated by benefics.
A very strong Ju in the 5
th
, while the lord of lagna is also strong.
Having Children (ii) :
= Parasharas combination for children- these give many children:
Exchange of houses by the lords of the 1
st
and the 5
th
, while Ju is in
a trine or in an angle;
Lord of the 5
th
or Ju in the 5th and associated with benefics;
A powerful Ju in the 5
th
and a powerful lord of lagna;
Ju in vargottama and in the amsa of a benefic lord of lagna associated with the
lord of the 5
th
* Dr. P.S Sastri, Ma, Phd. , D. Litt ;
From our experience we find that Ju gives more daughters than sons.
Ju at times denies only sons (daughters are given only); this depends
on whether such a Ju has the aspect of or conjunction with masculine
planets { Su, Ma , Ju } or feminine planets { Mo, Ve, Me , Sa }. [
Note: {Me , Sa } are also the eunuch planets. ]
234
Our experience falsifies the view that the significator Ju denies
children by placement in the 5
th
. If he denies children, it is because
Ma, Sa, Ra or Ur is associated with him.
Ju or Ve in the 5
th
, or Ma in the houses of Me gives sons.
Some combinations :
= If the 5
th
house or its lord is a male rasi or amsa, or is associated with male
planets, there are sons. If it is a female rasi or amsa, or is associated with
female planets, there are daughters. We have to reckon the 5
th
house from
Ju also.
= Lord of 5 with a benefic in a benefic kendra or kona a son early in life.
= Strong Ju in 5 aspected by the lord of lagna son.
Twelfth House :
Calculating Sputha:
From the husbands chart add the longitudes (from Aries) of Su, Ve and Ju.
The remainder after expunging multiples of 360
deg. is the resultant sign and d
egree
Bija sphuta.
From the wifes chart add the longitudes of the Mo, Ma and Ju.
The result gives the sign and degree of Kshetra sphuta.
Calculating the degrees of longitude of the planets Mo, Ma and Ju will determin

ability for a women to have children.
The results gives the sign and degree of Kshetra sphuta.
There will be children if these points are associated with the lords of 1, 5, 7
, or 9.
These two sensitive points should not be associated with the 8
th
lord, or with Me or
Sa or Ke.
235
Add the longitudes of the Su, Mo, Ma, Ju and Ve.
If the result falls in a kendra { 1, 4, 7, 10 }a child is born in the first par
t of life.;
if it falls in {2, 5, 8, 11}, it is the second part of life;

The kaakamsa is the position of the Atmakaaka in Navamsa.

Papadste

y using

Mantika is one who uses Manta alone. These ae also gades of knowledge of the

The point to e noted is that this only gives the extent of occult and spiitual
knowledge. How

Ppadste nigahaka: if malefic planets also aspect these malefic planets in tines (o
if at
least thee malefic planets ae in tines), then the native has the powes to su
mmon spiits,
gahas etc y using magical fomulae (Suta 1.2.84).
Whateve planets ae in tines to the kakamsa, they will take the native towads
spiituality
(Suta 1.2.85) Natual malefic planets ae nomally inclined to take the native
away fom the
highe spiitual tuths, ut if they ae in tines to the kakamsa, they will fol
low the diktat of the
tmakaka and stee life towads ealization of the spiitual self. Conside Mas i

Tikona Dasa
Suta 3.4.22 : now the Tikona dasa is eing explained. In Sutas 1.1.25 and 26
it is said that in the
case of odd signs the counting is clockwise and that in the even signs the count
ing is anti-clockwise.
Suta 1.1.27 stated that this pinciple does not apply sometimes:
Accoding as the sign in question elongs to the Vishamapada o Samapada goup,
the yeas given
y a sign ae deived y counting in the clockwise o anit-clockwise manne. The
numne of asis
intevening etween the sign unde consideation and its lod give us the yeas.
(thus maximum of
12-yeas pe sign ). This is the same as the method of Chaa dasa. Thee we divi
ded y 30-degees
( fo 1-yea) into the total degees given to the distance fom a sign unde co
nsideation to its lod,
taking into consideation the signs gouping.
iv. The exceptions ae in the case of Simha and Kumha which follow anti-clock
wise
sequence, and the case of Vischika and Vishaa which have a clockwise
sequence.
v. the Vishamapadaodd goup of signs thus ae : {1,2,3,7,8,9} follow clockwise;
vi. the Samapadaeven goup of signs ae : {4,5,6,10,11,12} follow anti-clockwise

Time and Place of Death (Fom Vaahamihia Bihat Jatak)
Suta 25.12
The time of death is to e known fom the nume of navamsha yet to ise afte
ith. If the lod of the
lagna aspects it, the time must e douled. If it is aspected y enefics, the t
ime must e tepled.
3 Notes: the navamsha lagna has an owne. Find the place occupied y him. This
sign
gets modified y the aspects on it, association of planets with it, and the Moon
.
The places indicated y the signs ae:

vi. The natue of the navamsha sign occupied y the lod of the navamsha.
vii. Planets in the sign occupied y the lod of the navamsha.
viii. Planets aspecting the sign occupied y the lod of the navamsha lagna.
The following factos ae consideed fo the time of death:
v. take the total time of the navamsas (3 20) yet to ise = time of death.
vi. If the lagna is aspected y the owne this time must e douled.
vii. If a enefic is in lagna o aqspects navamsa lagna this time must e tepl

viii. If lagna is aspected y its lod and if it also has a enefic, the time m

Suta 25.14
f Guu, Chanda and Suka; Ravi and Kuja; and Shani and Budha; ing pesons e
spectively fom
Devaloka, Pitiloka, Tiyogloka and Naakaloka. As pe the dekkana occupied y
the most
poweful etween the Sun and the Moon we have to find the high, middle o low st
atus of the
native in his pevious ith.
3 Notes: find the stonge etween the Sun and the Moon in D-1. Note the dekka
na. The
owne of that dekkana eveals the wolds fom which the native has come.
Devaloka elongs to the wold of the Gods. Tiyogloka elongs to the wold of th
e animals, Pitu
to the Manes and Naaka to Hell.
* The following is fom the autho of this e-ook :
Vaahamihia poclaims the Vanas with the aove planets.
Mahaishi Paasaa too uses a simila classification.
Mahaishi Jamini son of Vedavyasa and his desciple uses a
classification that takes into account the gunas of the
Siddhas who have een given the suzenity of thei planet
y Bahman. Thus Guu (Bihaspati) , Chanda (waxing),
Suka and Budha all have sattvik natues which classify
them as Bahmin. Kuja and Ravi have ajasik natues which
classify them as Kshatiya. Sani has a tamasik natue
which classifies him as Suda. Howeve wheneve Sani is
aspected y Budha his natue is etween ajasik and tamas
a mixtue of the two and is Vaisya. Thus all the Vanas ae
a Dhamic eflection of thei natues o gunas. Thus Suta
25.14 taking this change into account could accuately eveal ones past wold th
at one came fom
efoe eith on eath.
Bharani is said to be the Nakshatra where Yama guides the soul to the astral p
lane , where it can
experience the result of its karma and vasanas from the samskaras and prepare fo
r the next life.
This is Yamas first visit. This is the time when one asks Yama to extend life fur
ther or complete it
soon. Bharani starts in 13:20 Aries. This is the 1
st
Muhurta or time.
Magha is ruled by the ancestors. Magha Nakshatra causes a change of state or c
ondition, a kind of
death. Usually it shows that we are coming to the end of a cycle. This nakshatra
is a marker on the
movement of Saturn either to extend or to retract, the years of ones life c
ycle. Magha ends in the
sign of 13:40 Leo.
Revati is the great womb of the Divine Mother, revealing the end as well as ne
w beginnings. This
is the 2
nd
Muhurtha given in life charts.The primary motivation of this asterism is moksha
. It is
also associated with deep faith and devotion to Brahman. Meritorious souls end t
heir life cycle in
this star. Pushan the protector of kine is invoked in the Vedas for safe travel
and protects the soul
in its travel to the world of the Devas. Pushan the deity of Revati guides the so
ul to the third
world. Revati starts in 16:40 Pisces.
250
Finally the 3
rd
Muhurtha date of punya chakra or passing away time is Guru or Jupiter in trine
to the Divine Mother in Revati. After the body is destroyed by the loss of Prana
- the vital force,
the soul with its attributes (Avaranas) is to transmigrate away from the dissolu
ted material body,
pass in auspicious proximity to the Tara Revati- the womb of the Divine Mother o
f the Universe
and journey either in the northerly (uttarayana) or southerly (dakshinayana) dir
ection, in its astral
body of light, to the region of its merit. Some will pass through Surya to Satya
loka others to the 3
rd
plane of Chandraloka . Lord Krishna explains this process in the Bhagavad Gita (
chapt 8, verse
22-26) and Muni Vayasa in the Brahma Sutras.
1
st
th
is Guru, this is the divine house of Bhagya. He was a Brahmin
in his previous life and lived outside of India. The 5
th
house lord is Surya. He will act as a
Kshatriya for occupation.
32. if the planets referred to above
hould be declared as that
of
Gods (Devaloka). If they be in their
, the abodes of past
and future births should be declared
ts be in their own
sign or a neutral s sign, such place
Example 25: Guru in past life is in an inimical sign Vrishabha; Surya in futur
e birth is in an
inimical sign Makara. He will live outside of his birth country, and live in Sou
th Africa.
33. the parts of India covered by the various planets are as under:(8) Sun- mountains and forests
(9) Moon- tracts watered by the holy rivers like Ganga, Yamuna, Narada Godavari
etc.
(10) Mars- Bihar
(11) Mercury- all sacred places.
(12) Jupiter- Aryavarta bordered in the North by Himalayas, in the south by Vin
dhya, and
which extends to oceans in the East and the West.
(13) Venus- same as the Moons places.
(14) Saturn- prohibited places like those inhabited by Mlechchas (non-Hindus).
34. (i) if the planets referred to in verse 24 (lords of the 9
th
and the 5
th
), are posited in a fixed sign or
Navamsa which is Prishtodaya and Adhomukha along with malefics, the past and fut
ure births
of the native should be taken as trees, plants and the like.
Exahmple 27: Guru is in Taurus a fixed sign, and Pristodaya and with a benefic
; Surya is in
a chara (moveable sign) Makara and a Prishtodaya sign with a malefic Sukra. The
future
birth is in a human body.
(ii) If the lord of the 9
th
and the 5
th
houses occupy a Shirshodaya and an Urdhvamukha sign or a
movable sign or navamsa, and be associated with benefics, the past and future bi
rths will be of an
animal kind.
35. (i) if the lord of the 9
th
or the 5
th
quartered in an auspicious house, the native will seal admission to the holy ord
er and will become
a successful ascetic.If there be more benefic in amongst the planets mentioned a
bove occupying
auspicious houses, the holy order will be one revered by the great. If it be not
so, the holy order
will not command reverence.

Span of life Under Varahamihiras Method in Brihat Jatak
Sloka 7.1.0
Ancient masters like Maya, Yavanacharya, Manithacharya, Shakti, Parasara etc hav
e laid down
as under the maximum number of years for the maximum exalted strength of the var
ious
planets as the years of longevity contributed by them in a birth chart :
Sloka 7.1.1 when a planet is in its maximum degree of exultation its span to a n
atives life is in table 1.

Sloka 7.2.1 But when a planet is between exultation and debilitation than in the
intermediate position a
planet contributes its span of life to a native proportionally.
Sloka 7.2.2 In this scheme of determining span of life the ascendant also contri
butes life years. A
navamsa (3:20-degrees) of ascendant elapsed is equal to 1-year of life contribut
ed, fraction of a
navamsa giving the months etc. proportionally.

y In case any one of these six houses is occupied by two or more planets, wheth
er malefics or
benefics or mixed ones, only one of them who is the strongest will lose as a mal
efic or a
benefic. For example a weak Moon and a weak Mercury conjoined to a malefic is n
ormally
considered as a malefic, but in this context these two planets would be treated
as natural
benefics and would lose as benefics if placed in the stipulated houses.
Years of Loss for Lagna with a Malefic Planet
Sutra 7.4.0
f Find the number of navamshas in the lagna (divide the numerical longitude of
the Ascendant by
3.3333) .Multiply the result by number of proportional years (base years) contr
ibuted by a natural
malefic in lagna and divide it by 108 (the total no. of navamsas in the 12 signs
). The result would
be the number of years lost by the natural malefic located in the lagna.
f Formula: As_loss= (L/3.3333)*(B_malefic planet/108)
Where L= numeric longitude of planet; B=base years of malefi
c planet
Example chart below: Years loss in As=02:56; 2.9333/3.3333=0.8800;
0.8800*11.7895(Mars)/108=0.0960 years lost
f If the natural malefic planet is aspected by a benefic it will lose only of t
he calculated loss in
years.
f Note: in case there are 2 or more than 2 natural malefic planets in the lagna
, the process of
calculation of the loss should be undertaken only in respect of a single malefic
planet that is
nearest to the longitude of the lagna.
Notes: The following formulas can be used to find the base years for each plane
t in a birth chart.
The rotation is clockwise or anticlockwise determined by the rotation from the s
ign of exultation to
the planet to its debilitation sign.

From Mantreswaras Pala Deepika:
In the Horasara-by Prithuyasas (son of Varahamihira) from Phala Deepika:
24.1,2,3 - The 9
th
sign reckoned from the sign occupied by the Sun is called house of the father.
Multiply the benefic bindus in that house by the figure denoting the Sodhyapinda
. The figure
so
arrived at should be divided by 27 [take the remainder and count that number fro
m Ashwini]. When
Saturn passes through the nakshatra represented by that figure, in course of his
transit, something bad
will happen to the father. Death will occur when Saturn passes through the naksh
atra in trine to this
nakshatra.An example follows:
Longevity of the Father
Sutra 24.1,2,3:
Using the natal
chart. The house of
the father is the 9
th
house Taurus from
the Sun in Kanya.
The benefic bindus
in the 9
th
house
Taurus are: 26.
Multiply it by the
sodhya pinda of the
Sun; 26*180=4680.
Divide by 27:
4680/27=173.3333;
R=27*0.3333=9,
the nakshatra is :
Ashlesha (9
th
from Ashwini). Saturn passing through this nakshatra will bring a bad result to
the
father. Death occurs when Saturn transits the trines {1, 5, 9 } i.e; Ashlesha, H
asta, and Anaradha.
