Orbital Direction

In my previous book "Revelation from Naadi Jyotisha" I had explained about the concept of Lagna, emergence of microcosm from the macrocosm and the karma theory behind it. Apart from it I have also explained about the Sun trines and Moon trines.

I have not given the astronomical relationship for the grouping of Sun trine and Moon trine in my previous book. Before going into the details of path of destiny I would like to discuss on the astronomical relationship between Sun trine and Moon trine.

By looking at the figure we can understand that the earth is going round the Sun while spinning from west to east. Thus there is an influence of Sun, the Atma, on the earth which is inter-related to Lagna and the emergence of microcosm as explained in my previous book. Therefore, the West and East directions represent the Karma (the Saturn) and the Rinanubandha (Atma sambandha, the Sun).

The Sun sign Leo and the trines thereof, Sagittarius and Aries, represent the Sun trine of Rinanubandha.

While the opposite sign of Leo being Aquarius, represented by Saturn, indicates the Karma and the trines of Aquarius, Gemini and Libra, indicate the Buddhi and Bhoga signs attached to Karma.

Hence, the six signs represent the effects of past life.

Earth rotates on its own axis forming north and south poles. This spinning effect causes the self generated energies at the two ends. While this spinning is going on, there are other two sensitive points generated at the intersection of equator and the path of Moon revolving around the earth. These points fall in the direction of northern and southern poles. These two points create self generated pulling effects and these are called Northern Node and Southern Node, which are named in Indian Astrology as Rahu and Ketu.

Being the direction of self generating energies, the North and South directions represent the present self efforts. The signs in Northern directions, Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces represent the Moon trines, signifying the effects of mind. The opposite sign of Cancer being Capricorn, represented by Saturn (the karma), indicates the self efforts and the trines of Capricorn, Taurus and Virgo represent the Bhoga and Buddhi out of present Karma.

Therefore, the signs falling in Eastern and Western directions and the planets in these signs represents Fate and the signs falling in Northern and Southern directions and the planets posited in them represents free will. The figure shown ahead is self explanatory.

The path of destiny is unique formation of planetary configuration for a given Jeeva which will indicate his present karma and the influence of previous karma.

We are concerned with the present life and the influence of past to understand the cosmic plan for a particular karma orientation of a Jeeva on the earth. Nevertheless, we should also consider the evolutional influence of the world on the Jeeva. The world is evolving day by day with modern methods demanding a different style of living. Chronologically with a specific time interval we have to record the scientific development and its influence on the human society. Astrologically we have to establish the orbital providence with the help of periodic charts. For this purpose we need to do some exercise and experiment with Naadi system to understand the orbital providence based on the planetary configuration at the beginning of each century. For this purpose let us begin with 14th century considering 1st of January as beginning of every century. Let us take the chart of beginning of every Century at sunrise and assess the development for that century. Based on this universal influence, the human births will also be ordained with appropriate orbital providence.

In Hindu calendar the beginning of the year differs from culture of a particular religion and region. Therefore to study the overall influence of the human and global development it is essential to adhere to a common principle followed. Moreover, the world wide psychological and social development has direct bearing on the Indian development and hence, we have taken the English Calendar year and thereby taken the 1st of January as beginning of every century.

We shall discuss in detail the worldly progress in each century chart and understand how these celestial matrixes have bearing on orientation of human lives born to play their role in each century.

We also take into consideration the Hora lord of each century who plays a vital role in delineations.

Before getting into the universal destiny as a customary requirement, we need to study certain fundamentals of Naadi Astrology. We restrict the information to the essentials of this work. We shall discuss the sign significations and planetary significations in the subsequent chapters. The most essential part of Naadi astrology is the principle on which the delineations are made. We give below the following principles.

1.A planet will get the influence of the sign in which it is posited and views the planets placed in signs 5, 9, 2, 12 and 7th from it. Rahu and Ketu will have influence on the 2nd sign to them.

2.Similarly the planets posited in the above positions will pass on their respective significations to the planet under consideration.

3.The sign and planet that is friendly to the selected planet will give desirable effects.

4.The sign and the planet that is inimical to the selected planet will give undesirable effects.

5.Transit of major planet on any of the planet in a group will prompt fructification of results.

6.A transiting planet in a sign of another planet or in an exalted place of another planet will activate that planet posited anywhere in the zodiac.

7.If a natal planet in a sign having a sign either ahead or behind an exalted or own sign belonging to either the natal or transiting planet, the transiting planet will give the results of the natal planet either in the exalted or own sign cited above, instead of the sign where the natal planet is posited.

8.In timing of events hypothetical transit works more perfectly than the actual transit.

9.A transiting planet will not yield results if encountered by an inimical planet.

There are a number of scholarly enquiries from different quarters on the timing of an event, which was explained in the earlier book Revelation from Naadi Jyotisha. In this context, I would like to explain few points which are essential in the study of astrology in general and Naadi astrology in particular. Conventional astrology has a system of Dasha for timing the event. There are five levels of Dasha. Nevertheless, none of the practicing astrologer goes beyond 2nd level that is Bhukti or at the most 3rd level called Antra. Beyond that the sub levels called Sookshma and Prana are not attempted fearing correctness of accurate birth time. Unless the delineation is from an expert, rarely the results match with Bhukti and Antra period lords. But there are many systems evolved by modern astrologers which do not have sanction from the classical texts, which are half baked with high-end computational or technical jargon which claims to pin down hourly event. However, let us not discard the claim as there are divine souls who could render the events minute by minute. We are deliberately using the word divine here because, the whole subject matter of astrology is occult based. In our opinion, unless the higher intelligence bestows upon, no astrologer can decode fate of the person.

In some of the Naadi texts like Rishi Vakhya, Nandi Naadi and Bhrighu the events are given age wise. In some cases they have given the Hindu year and month for some incidents like death etc. Our works are based on these classical texts and hence we recommend our readers to restrict timing of event on yearly basis.

The timing of events is based on transit of planets. The most important and convincing logic is to move the Jeevakaraka planet Jupiter in each sign which takes approximately 1 year for transit from one sign to the other and then delineate the results. Despite several rules, hypothetical rotation of Jupiter in each sign with relative effect on planets linked to it in each sign (12 year effect of linked planet), according to Naadi principles gives more accurate results than the actual transit position of Jupiter computed by ephemerides or computers. This phenomenon directly prompts to the fact that there is a planetary influence on the mind of astrologer by which the matters are revealed to him. By looking at transits by computation, the mind is set on computation and not linked to the planet. In hypothetical movement the thought process is linked to Jupiter, the zodiac sign and to other planets who are the source to reveal the coded information. For decoding the information, the preparation by an astrologer is to expertise the signification of planets and signs. However in order to maintain this mental link I have given many subtle rules which are explained in my earlier book Revelation from Naadi Astrology. I have repeatedly claimed that this subject is purely metaphysical in nature and hence no amount of technicality or human smartness can frame them into structured formats using divisional mathematics.

In the subsequent paragraphs we will give some essentials of Naadi keeping in view the requirement of this work.

The grouping of planets is done according to directional chart which is explained above. However we reproduce below the zodiac sign indicating the directions.

Planets falling in each same direction are considered as one group. Planets in each group have to be studied considering the other groups falling in front, rear and opposite direction.

Basic Information

SIGN SIGNIFICATIONS

The sign signification plays an important role in deciding the karma of Jeeva karaka. The elemental factors, nature and other significations have to be used with logic to derive the correct interpretations.

We give below the brief planetary significations which are to be used
