From children to older people, everybody struggle to make the right decision. The only option available for people today is to visit great masters in order to get the right decision – but often such decisions aren’t achieved even from great masters. And masters like AMMA also direct people to astrology. Thus it is important that we understand this science of astrology – if not learning and practicing it ourselves, at least understand it so that with help from an astrologer we will be able to make predictions for our future. Though it is true that only Brahmaa can know exactly what will happen, still if we know as to what is in store for us in the future, even if remotely, we will be able to prepare ourselves for the future. Such preparations will ensure that we don’t face problems in worldly life or even if we face problems, we don’t face big problems (so big that it changes our life itself). If only many of the youngsters were provided with advice in astrology, there wouldn’t be people who would be working in a field totally different from what they learnt; even if such people are there, they would be happy knowing their future or what to expect from the future. If only the various married people would have consulted astrology then problems in compatibility and even divorce could have been avoided. There are horoscopes for whom married life itself isn’t good – they could take resort to either parihara or propitiations to mitigate the problem or they could take resort to a life without marriage. But not believing the science of astrology, we find today many marriages ending in divorce (and often many divorces for the same person). Therefore it is important that we learn the simple details of this science of astrology so that we will be able to consult an appropriate astrologer to find out our future, know what to expect from the future and either through propitiations go ahead with our actions or choose a different path itself than what we had in mind earlier. Astrology or jyothisha is called veda chakshu or the eye of Vedas. Considering Vedas as a human being, eyes are the vedanga of astrology (there are six vedangas or those sciences that will help in understanding the Vedas better). Vetti yah vedaangam sah aapnothi paramam padam prathikoolanivaarakam mokshopakaarakam cha 3 Jyothisha Prakaasham Mithuna (Vijaya) Why is it important to have a smooth worldly life? A smooth worldly life is something that we all crave for. Moreover the ultimate goal of life being moksha, we cannot strive towards moksha unless our worldly life is smooth. If our worldly life is filled with all sorts of problems then our focus will only be on solving or getting rid of them than progressing towards moksha. It is when our worldly life is smooth that all our focus will be on moksha – such total focus on moksha is essential for everybody (as the ultimate goal of life for everybody is moksha, whether they know or not, accept or not). The purpose of this magazine is to bring out the nuances of astrology so that normal people will understand the importance of this science and those who are striving to learn astrology will be able to learn astrology through the various articles in this magazine. Those who are already learned in the science of astrology will be able to improve their knowledge through the articles in this magazine – that which they already know will be strengthened and that which they didn’t know, they will be able to grasp. Therefore this magazine serves everybody in the world (as a result of the grace of Lord). In this era where people are shying away from astrology, we should encourage ourselves and others to learn and implement this science of astrology – if not learning, at least to seek an astrologer to get guidance in the same. Thereby they also will be benefitted and the entire world will also be benefitted. May we all strive to learn and implement this science of astrology so that through the prediction of future (problems of the future) we will be able to anticipate the future and thereby smoothly progress towards the goal of moksha; thereby may we all be able to ever rejoice in bliss here and now itself.

Arudha lagna of a given chart will correspond to the sign arrived by counting so many signs from the ascendant as its lord is away from it. Ex: If lagna is khumbha and lagna lord Saturn is in Taurus. Then Saturn is 4 places away form lagna. So then the arudha lagna is 4 places from Saturn which is in Taurus. So Arudha lagna is leo. When pada falls in same house, one should take 10th from it as the arudha lagna. Similarly if 7th becomes the pada then 4th from it should be considered as arudha lagna. For example : Sagittarius in certain bhava has Jupiter in it, with the pada having fallen in sagittarius itself, so we count 10 signs from it and reach virgo which is the arudha lagna. One can even calculate the arudha for each house as well. Upapada The arudha rasi for 12th house from lagna is called upapada. Karakas Each planet is said to be a karaka for particular event in life. The functions of the karakas are similar to the functions of the houses. They play important role in horoscope analysis. There are natural karaka for each event in life. Planet Karaka Sun Father -- pitrukara Moon Mother --- matrukara Kuja Brothers -- bhatrukaraka Mercury Profession – Vetti yah vedaangam sah aapnothi paramam padam prathikoolanivaarakam mokshopakaarakam cha 5 Jyothisha Prakaasham Jupiter children -- putrakaraka Venus spouse -- kalatrakaraka Saturn longevity Rahu maternal relations Ketu paternal relations Mithuna (Vijaya) Karakas as per Jaimini There are 7 main karakas in Jaimini 1) Atmakaraka 2) Amatyakaraka 3) Bhatrukaraka 4) Matrukaraka 5) Putrakaraka 6) Gnathikaraka 6) Darakaraka Atmakaraka The chief or prime lord or indicator is all important. Of all the planet in the chart the planet having highest longitude in a sign becomes the atmakara. The general strength or weakness of the atmakaraka reflects the strength and weakness of the chart. So the position of atmakaraka is very important. The natural atmakaraka is however sun. Amatyakaraka The next highest degree of the planet after Atmakaraka is Amatyakaraka. We can assume mercury to be natural karaka Bhatrukaraka The planet whose longitude is next to the Amatyakaraka becomes the lord of brothers. All events regarding brothers and sisters can be read from bhatrukaraka. Mars is the natural karaka. Matrukaraka The planet that gets the next highest degree is matrukaraka. Moon is however the natural karaka. Putrakaraka The planet that gets next highest degree is called Putrakaraka.Jupiter is the natural karaka. Vetti yah vedaangam sah aapnothi paramam padam prathikoolanivaarakam mokshopakaarakam cha 6 Jyothisha Prakaasham Mithuna (Vijaya) Gnathikaraka The longitude of the planet less than putrakaraka is Gnathikaraka. This is karaka for relations, cousins etc. The natural karaka is mars. Darakaraka The lord of wife is one whose longitude is the least. Natural one is venus. This is for spouse. As per Brihat parasara Hora sastra, the order of eight karakas is as below 1. Atmakaraka 2. Amatyakaraka 3. Bhatrukaraka 4. Matrukaraka 5. Pitrukaraka 6. Putrakaraka 7. Gnatikaraka 8. Streekaraka Karakamsa It the navamsa sign occupied by the atmakaraka. It represents the desire of the soul. Swamsa Should be understood as navamsa lagna. It is also called lagnamsa. It represents what the person can easily achieve or which is easily available.

Highly afflicted 6th house and lord will lead to diseases. The stronger the 6th house and 6th lord the more disease free the person is. If the 6th house and lord are strong with benefics , then the person will be free of diseases, if otherwise will have diseases. Dangerous diseases like cancer, kidney failure etc to normal stomach problems, periods problems to digestion and constipation problems can be diagnosed from the 6th house. It is also called the house of enemies. Troubles from enemies, defeats at the hands of enemies, the kind of enemies whether male female and nature of enemies can be determined from this house. Mars and Saturn play a significant role in identifying indications of dangerous ailments in a person. For people in sports the 6th should be strongest. This means they will have victory over enemies. Sports field is like a battlefield between people. Bad planets in 6th indicate defeat of enemies. Mandi in 6th house indicates that enemies can never win over the native. This is the best location of mandi in a horoscope. Various planets stand for various organs in the body. Based on the connection of the planets with the 6th and depending on the strength thereupon, the diseases are determined and predicted. This house is also considered for paternal uncle. Venus plays role in diseases of sexual organs, mouth and stomach. Planets and organs associated Sun—right eye, heart, bones Moon— brain, blood, lungs, left eye Mars – tissues, bone marrow Venus – generative organs, sex organs Jupiter – kidneys, flesh, digestive organs Vetti yah vedaangam sah aapnothi paramam padam prathikoolanivaarakam mokshopakaarakam cha 8 Jyothisha Prakaasham Mithuna (Vijaya) Saturn -- nerves Mercury - skin Rahu/ketu – ketu – throat, rahu - lungs Small health issues like cold can also be determined through the analysis. 6th house is roga sthana but to find out ailments of body, strength of body one should even look at the lagna lord and its strength. Lagna lord weak or neecha planet in plagna may lead to weak body constitution. Cold is due to moon in dusthana’s like 3rd, 6th ,8th and 12th, such people once they get cold it won’t go so easily for them. They are more susceptible to cold. If benefics in 6th house, then no danger from enemies. If Jupiter is in 6th house, then person will overcome enemies. Malefics in 6th means lot of danger from enemies. Mars is the karaka of 6th house. Let’s now see what our ancient texts show us. Ulcers/Bruises/Tumours Brihat Parasara vol 1 – chapter 17th Sloka 2: if the 6th lord is in 6th itself, or in ascendant or in 8th house, there will be ulcers or bruises on the body. The sign becoming the 6th will give the knowledge of the limb. Relative’s suffering Vetti yah vedaangam sah aapnothi paramam padam prathikoolanivaarakam mokshopakaarakam cha 9 Jyothisha Prakaasham Mithuna (Vijaya) Sloka 3 to 5: When a bhava lord joins 6th lord or be in the 6th house or 8th house, the relative signified by the bhava house will incur bruises and ulcers. Notes Ex: if for dhanus the 6th lord venus is with 4th lord Jupiter, the natives mother will have ulcers or bruises. The native will have afflictions to particular area of the body signified by the planet associated with 6th lord. If sun is with the 6th lord or in 6th or 8th house or sun is lord of 6th house, the person will have head injuries and so on. Facial Diseases Sloka 6: Should the lord of the ascendant be in sign of mars or mercury and aspected by mercury the person will have facial diseases. Leprosy Sloka 7 to 8: Lord of lagna is either mars or mercury and is with moon, rahu and Saturn, will cause leprosy in the person. If moon is in ascendant which is not cancer and with rahu then white leprosy happens. Saturn in place of rahu will cause black leprosy and mars gives blood leprosy. Vetti yah vedaangam sah aapnothi paramam padam prathikoolanivaarakam mokshopakaarakam cha 10 Jyothisha Prakaasham Mithuna (Vijaya) Sloka 9 to 12: If the ascendant is occupied by 6th and 8th lords along with sun the person will suffer form fevers and tumours. Mars replacing sun will cause hardening of blood vessels, swelling, wounds by weapons. Mercury so placed will cause bilious diseases. Jupiter so placed will destroy all diseases. Venus will cause diseases through females and Saturn windy diseases. Rahu danger through lowercaste men and ketu through navel diseases. With moon drowning, cough, asthma, tuberculosis and lung disorders. Replacing the ascendant with bhavas the predictions can be made to the relatives. Ex: If the 6th and 8th lords are in 3rd house with moon, the coborn may have problems of drowning or lung disorders. Vetti yah vedaangam sah aapnothi paramam padam prathikoolanivaarakam mokshopakaarakam cha 11 Jyothisha Prakaasham Mithuna (Vijaya) Sloka 13 to 19: The person will be afflicted by diseases throughout life, if Saturn is with rahu while the 6th lord and 6th house are with malefic. One will suffer from fever at age of 6 and also 12 if mars is in 6th and 6th lord is in 8th. If moon is in dhanus or meena and Jupiter is in 6th from lagna the person will suffer from leprosy at age of 19 and 22. If rahu is in 6th, ascendant lord is in 8th and mandi is in angle, consumption will trouble the native at age of 26. Spleenary disorders will be experienced at the age of 29 to 30 yrs. If 6th and 12th have exchanged signs, moon and Saturn in the 6th will inflict blood leprosy at age of 45.

If rahu is in 6th and Saturn in 8th from rahu, the child will have danger from fire at age of 1 or 2 yrs. Sloka 26: Loss of wealth will happen in 31st yr if there is parivarthana between the 6th and 11th lord. Son ones’ own enemy Sloka 27: One’s own son will be enemy if the 5th lord is in 6th, while 6th lord is with Jupiter.

Enemies/Impotency As per Jataka parijata vol 3 – chapter 8th Sloka 71: If Jupiter is in 6th person will overcome enemies. If 6th lord and mercury are with rahu and in some way connected to lagna lord the person will be impotent. Mars in 6th with lagna lord will cause damage to generative organs. Sloka 72: if the 7th lord is in 6th house with venus, the person will be impotent with wife. If mars in 6th is aspected by Saturn, person will have liaisons with enemies wife. If 6th bhava aspected by benefics, person won’t have trouble from enemies, if aspected by malefics, trouble from enemies and ulcers can be formed in the body. Vetti yah vedaangam sah aapnothi paramam padam prathikoolanivaarakam mokshopakaarakam cha 14 Jyothisha Prakaasham Mithuna (Vijaya) Sloka 73: If sun is in 6th, identical to sign of depression or unfriendly, be inimical to lord of lagna, the person will have no strength and has to face the enemity of his father’s party. But when sun is exalted or in friend’s house and friend of lord of lagna, the person will be unhurt by enemies. Diseases Sloka 75: if the 6th lord, the planet in the 6th house and one aspecting it, if all are malefic and weak, they produce destruction of cattle, diseases and danger from enemies. If these planets be strong and benefics, the effect will be wealth of cattle, horses etc. No Disease Sloka 76: If among the 6th lord, the planet in 6th and the planet aspecting 6th, any two are benefic and occupy a Kendra, trikona or the 11 house in strength, they will quickly cause the disappearances of diseases as spoken. If one among them is very strong, then the trouble caused will operate only to some extent. Vetti yah vedaangam sah aapnothi paramam padam prathikoolanivaarakam mokshopakaarakam cha 15 Jyothisha Prakaasham Mithuna (Vijaya) Thus we have seen the 6th house which is a house of health as well as enemies house. It is also said that 6th house stands for mother’s brother i.e uncle. If venus is in 6th the person is liable to have diabetes. We shall see the significations of next house in the next edition. Vetti yah vedaangam sah aapnothi paramam padam prathikoolanivaarakam mokshopakaarakam cha 16 Jyothisha Prakaasham Mithuna (Vijaya) Sarvartha Chintamani – IV We shall now move onto the 5th chapter of the text which deals with the 5th house and 6th house. In this edition of magazine, we shall see the 5th house as per the text.5th house as we all know deals with children, intelligence, family, memory, charity etc. Fifth House The wise should consider from 5th house, son, intelligence, ministers, mantra, eating, father, heart, belly, power of discrimination. Having son The sun is in 4th house, the native gets wealth through father, if moon is then in 5th mother dies soon. If benefic occupy 5th, with aspect of another benefic and 5th lord is also a benefic, the person will have son. Destruction of son If 5th house is hemmed by malefic and and so is the case with lord of 5th house and Jupiter is with malefic, the yoga denotes destruction of sons. If the 5th lord is in malefic house of 6th,8th or 12th and aspected by malefic the yoga leads to destruction of sons. Vetti yah vedaangam sah aapnothi paramam padam prathikoolanivaarakam mokshopakaarakam cha 17 Jyothisha Prakaasham Mithuna (Vijaya) Discontinuance of Family Tree If moon is in 10th, venus in 7th and 4th house has malefics and the lagna lord is with mercury leads to discontinuance of family tree. If malefic in 12th, 5th and 8th houses, the same can be predicted. If 5th house has malefic then it will result in loss of son. If mars in lagna, Saturn in 8th and sun in 5th house loss of son is indicated. Also if the planets are aspected by benefics the native will get a son long after marriage. If Saturn in lagna, Jupiter in 8th and mars in 12th house, the native gets son long time after marriage. Intelligence If there is highest degree of exaltation of the 5th lord aspecting the 5th house and 5th house is between benefic planets, the native posses keen intelligence. If the planet of intelligence mercury has full strength and 5th lord is apsected by benefic and 5th house has a benefic planet then the person is said to have keen intelligence. Vetti yah vedaangam sah aapnothi paramam padam prathikoolanivaarakam mokshopakaarakam cha 18 Jyothisha Prakaasham Mithuna (Vijaya) If the lord of the navamsa occupied by lord of the 5th house is aspected by benefic and is in vaisheshikamsa, the person possess keen intelligence. Learned and wise If 5th house is between benefics, if 5th lord is aspected by benefics and Jupiter is in Kendra or trine, the native is learned and wise. If 5th lord is in Kendra or trine with a planet in exaltation, highly efficient in picking the meaning of words uttered by others. Retentive memory If mercury and 5th lord are located in mriduamsha and aspected by benefic planet, the person is said to have retentive memory. Grasping If the lord of the drekkana occupied by 5th lord and mercury are benfics and located in Kendra or trine, the person will be quick to understand with teh least hint thrown by others. Little intelligence Vetti yah vedaangam sah aapnothi paramam padam prathikoolanivaarakam mokshopakaarakam cha 19 Jyothisha Prakaasham Mithuna (Vijaya) If malefic in the 5th house and lord of 5th house is also with malefic and in malefic shashtiamsa, the man has very little intelligence. Note: Malefics here means Saturn and rahu and not mars. If lord of 5th house is eclipsed by sun, if in debilitation, is with malefic and malefic in 5th house, the person will have less intelligence. Loss of memory If there is no benefic in the 5th house, also this house contain Saturn or rahu or mandi and lord of 5th is aspected by malefic, the native often looses memory. Imparting Knowledge If benefic is in 5th house and Jupiter and venus aspect the 5th house and 5th lord is also similarly aspected, then the person imparts his intellect and learning to others. Minister & a philanthropist If the lord of the sign occupied by Jupiter is aspected by lord of lagna and if lord of second house is strong, the man becomes a minister and a philanthropist. Foreteller Vetti yah vedaangam sah aapnothi paramam padam prathikoolanivaarakam mokshopakaarakam cha 20 Jyothisha Prakaasham Mithuna (Vijaya) If Jupiter is with 5th lord and is located in gopuramsha in Kendra or trine, the native is a minister and one that can foretell things. If Jupiter is located in mriduamsha and is aspected by venus and mercury in benefic navamsha, the native is capable of knowing past present or future. No:of Children The number of good points falling in the house of Jupiter or in 5th house tells the number sons in the ashtakavarga, provided that the number of points contributed by debilitated or eclipsed, inimical planets are reduced. Enemity with son If lord of lagna and lord of 5th are mutual friends then there will be friendship between the native and son, else they will be enemies or if the lords are neutral there will be neutrality between two. Son serves Father If the 5th lord and lagna lord mutually aspect each other and they are located in the navamsha of each other, the son will serve his father i.e the native. If 5th lord is in lagna or aspects the lagna or the lagna lord is in 5th house, the son carries out the orders of the father of the native. Vetti yah vedaangam sah aapnothi paramam padam prathikoolanivaarakam mokshopakaarakam cha 21 Jyothisha Prakaasham Mithuna (Vijaya) Son disobeys father If lord of 5th is in 6th,8th or 12th and is apsected by lord of lagna and also by mars and rahu, the sun is always opposed to father i.e to the native. Feeding others If the 5th lord is in 9th and is located with benefics and also aspected the native is engaged in feeding others. Belly If there is malefic in 5th house and lord of 5th is with malefic, disease in belly should be indicated. If 5th lord is in 8th house and is with lord of 8th or is in debilitation or eclipsed or inimical sign the person, the disease in the belly is indicated. Ministers, fortelling, intelligence, retentive memory, loss of memory, children etc are the factors that can be determined from 5th house as per chapter 5 of sarvartha chintamani. Vetti yah vedaangam sah aapnothi paramam padam prathikoolanivaarakam mokshopakaarakam cha 22 Jyothisha Prakaasham Mithuna (Vijaya) Jaimini Upadesha Sutras - I Vedic astrology is said to have various schools like we find various schools in vedanta also. Jaimini, Parasa, Tajaka, Nadi, Brighu are the various streams, some of these systems literature is rather missing in many portions. Maharishi Jaimini is said to be the disciple of Sri Veda Vyasa who is the son of Sage Parasara, who wrote “Brihat Parasara Hora Sastra”. These sutras are said to be the supplements for the Text written by Sage Parasara. Hence as the name suggests they are sutras to indicate finer points in astrology. This text has eight chapters in total with four quarters in each. It said to have been a supplement to standard texts like Brihat Parasara Hora Sastra. This text is considered next to Brihat Parasara Hora Sastra. We shall look into the Third chapter first quarter which talks about Rajayogas. This quarter has 30 sutras. Rajayayoga arises by the conjunction of the atmakaraka and pitrukaraka or the lords of 1st and 5th houses. In following sutras the above sutra is further elaborated. If the planets are exalted/debilitated or conjoining/aspecting the navamsa lagna or in aspect to each other or aspected by benefics, Maharaja Yoga arises. Maharaja Yoga means international stature. It means either or both atmakaraka & pitrukara or first and fifth lords are as follows. a) Conjoined or both debilitated or exalted. b) In mutual aspects and only aspected by benefics. c) Conjoining or aspecting the navamsa lagna and placed in strength. Vetti yah vedaangam sah aapnothi paramam padam prathikoolanivaarakam mokshopakaarakam cha 23 Jyothisha Prakaasham Mithuna (Vijaya) If the yoga happens in lagna or 7th house, the effects will be seen later in life. If the said yoga is in 7th or 1st house, the effects of yoga will be seen in foreign lands. If venus/moon conjoin or aspect the person gets conveyances in the places mentioned. If Rajayoga has conjunction with Saturn or ketu horses and elephants join the entourage. If venus, mars and ketu aspect the atmakaraka in the 2nd or 4th house, raja yoga occurs. If the lord of ascendant, 7th and 9th conjoins raja yoga occurs. All yogas in 2nd and 4th house will fructify early in life. If the 2nd and 12th houses have equal number of planets raja yoga happens. Let’s see and analyse few charts here. Vetti yah vedaangam sah aapnothi paramam padam prathikoolanivaarakam mokshopakaarakam cha 24 Jyothisha Prakaasham Mithuna (Vijaya) Chart 1 The lagna lord venus and 5th lord mercury are conjoined in the 12th house. The atmakaraka for this chart is venus and it is with pitrukaraka Jupiter. But venus and mercury are together in the 12th house. So the person will see effects of Rajayoga in foreign lands. As sun is a spiritual planet and is in strength, so the person will get fame in spiritual field and in foreign lands later in life. This yoga gave him authority and luxury in life. Vetti yah vedaangam sah aapnothi paramam padam prathikoolanivaarakam mokshopakaarakam cha 25 Jyothisha Prakaasham Mithuna (Vijaya) Chart 2 The lagna lord is venus and 5th lord is Saturn aspecting each other along 1st and 7th houses. Also the atmakaraka is Saturn, which is aspecting the pitrukaraka sun. So in both ways the Rajayoga is there. As the yoga happened in the 7th and 1st houses, so the person experiences Rajayoga in later part of life. As both the planets are debilitated and aspecting each other and benfics venus and Jupiter are associated with it, so it’s a proper condition for Maharaja yoga a international stature. This person has experienced the fruits of the Rajayoga in later part of his life, during the period of rahu, which gives the effects of Saturn, which is the atmakaraka. So the fruits of the Rajayoga were experienced during the rahu period. Person is like a king, heading responsible activities and has all comforts in life. This person is known by people across continents and has fame among masses. The person is not a king in the specific sense of the term, but does live like king in any place the person goes. As the planets are debilitated and aspected by benefics, so the person is famous and faces problems same time. As sun and Saturn are neecha, it’s not in spiritual field. Vetti yah vedaangam sah aapnothi paramam padam prathikoolanivaarakam mokshopakaarakam cha 26 Jyothisha Prakaasham Mithuna (Vijaya) Chart 3 Here the atmakaraka is the sun which is also the pitrukaraka. The lord of 1st house mars and lord of 5th house conjoin in Kendra in 4th house. This leads to MahaRajayoga. As it happens in the 4th house, the person has the fruits of this yoga early in his life. But as the planet mars is neecha, the person suffers also or does not have the capability of this yoga, but things are trusted on the person, due to this yoga. This person has all the comforts and luxuries and lives like a king alone, though not in the specific sense of the term. As sun is with planet in debilitation and also its enemy, so brings down the power of spiritual orientation. Person only will shine at worldly pursuits. Vetti yah vedaangam sah aapnothi paramam padam prathikoolanivaarakam mokshopakaarakam cha 27 Jyothisha Prakaasham Mithuna (Vijaya) Chart 4 This is chart of akbar, lagna lord venus is in lagna forming malavya yoga. Mars exalted in 4th gave ruchaka yoga. The 5th lord is Saturn is exalted is in lagna with the lagna lord venus. So this gives rise to Maharaja yoga. He became a great kind all across India he spread his kingdom. As the yoga happened in lagna, he got fruits of the yoga only later in life. As planets are exalted he got good benefits of the yoga. He was an emperor of immense power and strength and ruled without much opposition. Great kings apart from maharaja Yoga had much other yoga which made them great and famous. Likewise rajayoga gives luxury and comforts and good lifestyle. Maharaja yoga gives fame across the globe. People will be adored, praised and respected. Will have all comforts in life and lead a life with people to serve them and listen to them. If the Jupiter and moon are placed in 1st and 7th or 1st and 9th aspected by benefics, the person will become an institutional head or heading few villages. Mercury and Jupiter conjoining or aspecting the 2nd house produces head of a princely state. Vetti yah vedaangam sah aapnothi paramam padam prathikoolanivaarakam mokshopakaarakam cha 28 Jyothisha Prakaasham Mithuna (Vijaya) If the 2nd lord is exalted /debilitated in the ascendant/7th house, the native will be wealthy. The moon and venus join/aspect the 2nd or 8th house, the native is wealthy. The second occupies beneficial vargas, the native is wealthy. If the moon is in the 4th or 11th from Jupiter, the native is wealthy. If moon is in the 11th and Jupiter in 10th and natural benefic in 9th house or 9th lord in 9th house, shows rajayoga. A rajayoga is formed if moon, Jupiter and ninth lord are in 5th or seventh house. If moon is in the 7th and aspected by benefics also produces a great person. If first and seventh houses have benefics or malefics also, it gives greatness to the person. Chart 1 – The first and seventh houses have many benefics and malefics. This person is famous among the masses. If benefics conjoin/aspect the second, the native is in the service of the king. Vetti yah vedaangam sah aapnothi paramam padam prathikoolanivaarakam mokshopakaarakam cha 29 Jyothisha Prakaasham Mithuna (Vijaya) In chart 4 – In 2nd house we can see benefics, venus and mercury. Exalted moon aspecting the 2nd house. The person is an acharya in chinmaya mission, is very famous in the institute. If trines and quadrants have no benefics , the person should do service. There are no benefics and malefics much in quadrants and trine. So such person will should be in service. The person is doing service. If the atmakaraka or other benefics conjoin the navamsa lagna , the native hails from a noble family. Chart 1 – We see that in navamsa lagna benefic is present. The person belongs to a noble family. Vetti yah vedaangam sah aapnothi paramam padam prathikoolanivaarakam mokshopakaarakam cha 30 Jyothisha Prakaasham Mithuna (Vijaya) Rahu and its fierce effects Non-physical, shadowy planets, which are but nodes occurring due to planetary revolutions around the sun, influence the natives chart in tremendous way. From effecting health, to giving worldly pleasures, causing mental trauma, childlessness, generating Raja yogas, Rahu and ketu have key roles to play. Being imaginary points they create unimagined trouble and sorrow to mankind. Many people across the globe to whatever faith they belong, turn towards God and seek his help in periods of their influence. Many come to ashram and seek a Guru during the period of Rahu, as it hurls one into such a condition that people seek solace through spirituality. It destroys the effects of the House wherever it resides. Sorrow and happiness repeat themselves over and over again in life, paving way for man to accept them both equally and raise beyond them. As day and night are needed in life, as different seasons come and go, so also happiness and sorrow are ever experienced in life. This prepares our mind to accept both equally. Brighu Sutras By G.S Kapoor and Phaladeepika explain the effects of rahu in various houses. Based on these texts an on the personal experiences we shall discuss here the evil effects of rahu. Rahu in lagna will cause the birth of still baby. It’s very difficult to say about the character of the person. The person will have conflicts within his own character. Has kind of dual personality. If malefic are associated the person will have marks on face. The person will be short in stature. Person will be ungrateful, backbiter. He will remain under the influence of others. Person will be selfish and self-centered. Rahu in 2nd house native will be poor, will be dark in complexion. Words of the person will be very tactful and diplomatic.

She may suffer from health issues. The person will not have domestic happiness. Person will seldom be happy. Rahu in aries, virgo and cancer gives beneficial results, the person will become a king. He won’t stay in his house for long and his paternal property will be lost. Rahu in 5th, the person will have trouble due to children due to curse of serpent god.

Such people suffer from indigestion. They cannot digest heavy food like meat, dairy products etc and also cannot take hot and spicy food. This position of rahu creates health troubles similar to food poisoning. Rahu stands for serpent, so poison is represented by the snake. So such people should be careful about where they are taking the food. Indication of ulcers in stomach is also possible.This house also stands for enemies, such people will face problems from enemies. But native’s enemies will be destroyed. When rahu is in 7th house, the native will have two wives, if conjoined with malefic, else one wife. The wives will suffer. Rahu and ketu in lagna means the person will have chances of divorce. Conflict among the partners is also seen. This also indicates that the person may marry a lower caste person if rahu is in 7th. If ketu is in 7th the person may marry a person belonging to another religion also. The fertility of the spouse is also questionable. Person is said to loose his wealth due to intrigues with women. Will be self centered, self willed. When rahu is in 8th house the person will have stomach related troubles. Digestion problems, food poisoning can be seen. Such people should not take spicy food. Effects similar to rahu in 6th are seen here with regard to the health. Also it indicates bed-ridden life at the time of death. They will suffer from long time ailments. Will have defective limbs. The person may suffer from piles. Sickly body and life span will be shortened. He will suffer from rheumatic problems, windy problems and will have few children. He will face obstacles in all Vetti yah vedaangam sah aapnothi paramam padam prathikoolanivaarakam mokshopakaarakam cha 32 Jyothisha Prakaasham Mithuna (Vijaya) undertakings. Members of his family will disregard him but will be treated well by kings. He will not have good relation with relatives. Rahu in the 9th house is not good for father. The person will not have good relation with father or Guru. He lacks trust in Guru. He is not religious and doesn’t believe in god much. He is more practical in life. Will be dependent on others for livelihood, Will have intimacy with low-born women. Person will speak with bitterness and will not perform charitable deeds.

He needs to develop the attitude of selfless work and service to others. Rahu in 11th will be wealthy and long lived will have less children. Will have ear problems. He will be fortunate, learned and well dressed. The person will have success in all undertakings. His issues will be unfortunate. This is only place where rahu or ketu do good. Rahu in 12th means the person will go to hell after death. He will incur wasteful expenditure. He will commit sins secretly and spend on such actions. Will have eye problem. Will have friendship with evil people. Rahu and ketu give effects of the lord of house in which they are posted. If in trikona and Kendra they are said to give good results and even more good results if with the lord of the house in that particular house. But we should have understanding that along with good effects the bad effects of the planet will also be seen during their periods. Vetti yah vedaangam sah aapnothi paramam padam prathikoolanivaarakam mokshopakaarakam cha 33 Jyothisha Prakaasham Mithuna (Vijaya) Effect of various Planets in different houses Mars is a fast moving planet in the solar system and is also a hot and dry planet. Mars takes 18 months for one revolution around the sun, when moon takes 27 days and 7 hours. So in each bhava or house mars stays for 1.5 months. We shall see in this edition the effects of mars in various houses from lagna and also the effects of mars in particular bhava positions. Here have referred texts like Phaladeepika, Brihat Jataka of Varahamihira and Brighu sutras to come up with below details. Mars as a planet Embodiment of courage, boldness, stubbornness and dynamism is Mars. It’s a fiery planet. It also stands for discipline, martial arts, military activities, wars, weapons, blood, arms and shoulders, brothers. Mars represents valour , it gives quarrelsome and aggressive nature, loosing temper soon. It causes one of the pancha mahapurusha yogas called ruchaka yoga. Ruchaka yoga makes a person kingly with lot of properties, power and courage. It stands for base metals, rotten things, masculine in nature, orators, military personnel, weaving, commerce etc. Friends of mars are Jupiter, moon and sun. Means if mars is in house of sun i.e leo, in house of moon i.e cancer, or in house of Jupiter which is Sagittarius or pisces it is in friend’s house. The inverse is not true. Its neutrals are Saturn and venus. So In house of Taurus , libra, Capricorn, Aquarius mars is not well placed. In house of virgo or Gemini it’s in enemies house as mercury is enemy of Mars. It is a tamasic planet. It is commander in chief. The colors are red. Let’s see now the results of mars in various houses in a chart. Effects of mars in various houses is said to be similar to the effected of sun in various houses.

Mars plays a key role in determining the diseases a person is liable to. Mars and his enemy Saturn, together if placed create havoc and destroy the house and significations of it, where they are located. Mars and its strength along with mercury also determines the blood pressure levels in a person. They also contribute to the brain related problems. Mars is also considered to check the Kuja dosha in a chart for checking the compatibility for marriage reasons. This is one of the key factors which are leading to divorces in current times. This brings us to the end of topic on Mars and its effects. Vetti yah vedaangam sah aapnothi paramam padam prathikoolanivaarakam mokshopakaarakam cha 37 Jyothisha Prakaasham Mithuna (Vijaya) Heading spiritual organizations We find many masters in the past and in the present who have been trend setters on the spiritual path. These masters have revived the spiritual strength in India and have been a means of great inspiration to people on the path. We can say that if not for these masters, we all would have been directionless seeking the source of happiness in this mundane world. These compassionate masters even build ashrams and ran many centers all across the globe to uplift mankind from misery. There are masters like Swami chinmayananda who established chinmaya mission for spreading truth and his disciples like swami tejomayananda who is current heading of the the mission and continuing the vision of the master. We see such instances everywhere. AMMA has been instrumental in establishment of Mata Amritaanandamayi Mutt and her disciples are heading the organizations in various streams of services. The sankara Mutt also follows the lineage establish by Jagaguru Adi sankaracharya Bhagavad pada. Now its being continued by his lineage which forms the four mutts across india. Any one taking sanyaasa have to come under the lineage of one of these mutts. So we see that great masters revolutionize the world and kindle the light of faith in the sincere seekers. Through their influence many great acharyas the country has seen. Also there are seekers striving to follow the path shown by these acharyas. Now let’s understand who an acharya is. An acharya is a person who teaches knowledge in a traditional way and spreads the word of truth. Avatara purushas need not be traditional acharyas. But Acharyas sprung up under the influence of these great master. There are people who do spread the word of knowledge and help mankind but are not traditional acharyas like Prof Balakrsishnan Nair , who was a jeevan mukta and gave lot of discourses on sastras. So let’s try to see what makes one a trend setter in spirituality and what makes one an acharya traditionally spreading the knowledge through discourses, that we find in various spiritual organizations. To even join ashram one needs Guru’s grace from previous birth to an extent. As we know each planet stands for a particular quality or Guna. Sun stands for self and vitality, for eyes or vision and self-knowledge. A person having sun exalted in a chart is said to have matured soul, means matured spiritually. This doesn’t mean people with sun Vetti yah vedaangam sah aapnothi paramam padam prathikoolanivaarakam mokshopakaarakam cha 38 Jyothisha Prakaasham Mithuna (Vijaya) exalted will be spiritual, we need to consider all other factors in chart too. Likewise another planet apart from sun to help one to spiritually grow is Jupiter. Jupiter stands for wisdom, Guru’s grace, knowledge of truth, merits done in the past. The strength of these planets is important as the positioning of these planets in the horoscopes. If Jupiter or sun are in dusthanas, it is not at all beneficial for spiritual pursuits but for materialistic growth. If the Planets are well placed from moon, then later in life a person may shine well in spirituality, like the great master Swami chinmayananda Ji, who had strong positioning of the planets from moon. When Jupiter and sun are placed in trikonas or kendras they are good for spirituality. Trikona positioning of these planets is more beneficial than in kendras. Also Jupiter and sun in exaltation is more beneficial than when weak or in inimical houses in Kendra or konas. The 9th and the 10th houses play key role in determining the profession of a person and also the dharma or religious disposition of the person. Establishment of spiritual organization requires lot of activities to be performed. The great masters and seers like Adi sankaracharya Bhagavad pada has roamed all over India spreading knowledge establishing centers and gathering his disciples across India. Thus huge amount of actions are even done today by AMMA who is traveling across the globe meeting her children. Thus the two houses one has to look at for establishment of ashrams, centers for spirituality is the 9th and 10th houses. Varying on the strength of planets sun and Jupiter and locations of them also on the 9th and 10th houses and lords strength, one may establish ashrams and bring in a new dimension in spiritual path, one may become an acharya spreading knowledge and one can become a seeker joining the ashram for the same. Lets see analysis of below charts of great masters and acharyas to understand the same. Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: He is known world wide among Intellectual people and governments as a spiritual leader. He has established various centers all over the world and travels across the globe to spread his preachings. Sri Sri Ravi Shankar started the Art of living course and many meditation techniques. The 9th lord is Jupiter and is exalted and is placed in kendra. 10th lord Saturn is in 8th house. 8th house also denotes sacrifice. So 10th lord in 8th shows that a person shall perform actions as sacrifice to the mankind. It’s good for such people to work for non-profit organizations. In this life they are bound to learn to serve mankind. Vetti yah vedaangam sah aapnothi paramam padam prathikoolanivaarakam mokshopakaarakam cha 39 Jyothisha Prakaasham Mithuna (Vijaya) Also mars which is the lagna and 8th lord is in 10th house exalted. So there is an exalted planet in 10th, 10th lord is in 8th house of sacrifice and 9th lord exalted is in 4th house and aspecting the 10th house. Thus 10th house, planet in 10th and 9th lord are strong. Jupiter and sun which are spiritual planets are exalted and well placed in kendras. Thus as all these good combinations happened from lagna, very early in life the master had taken to the path of spreading peace to the entire world. Thus he established a new trend in spirituality and also spread message across the globe. Vetti yah vedaangam sah aapnothi paramam padam prathikoolanivaarakam mokshopakaarakam cha 40 Jyothisha Prakaasham Mithuna (Vijaya) Darshika Ji She is an acharya of chinmaya mission. She gives discourses, she is invited for. She has gained reputation among people for her compassionate and soothing words. We see that 10th lord moon is exalted and is placed in the 8th house. 10th lord in 8th house also means that the person suffers from bodily discomfort due to the amount of work taken upon oneself. She had to face lot of discomfort in the course of travelling to places to deliver lectures. 10th house has mars which is debilitated, but has gained neecha bhanga for being in a Kendra. Thus she is not founder of any organization but is now the acharya taking up discourses and delivering lectures on topics and spreading knowledge. Vetti yah vedaangam sah aapnothi paramam padam prathikoolanivaarakam mokshopakaarakam cha 41 Jyothisha Prakaasham Mithuna (Vijaya) Swami chandrasekharendra saraswathi : The 10th house or karmasthana has three planets in it. Jupiter, sun which are spiritual planets are located in 10th house. Sun has digbala being in the 10th house. 10th lord is in 8th house and is exalted. Thus 10th lord and 10th house are very strong. 9th lord mars is in 7th house Kendra and hence well situated as well. From lagna the 9th and 10th are well placed, so from early age swami ji got into spiritual path. He travelled all across india like Adi sankaraacharya bhagavad pada and revived and evoked the spiritual waves among the masses. He is said to have contributed a lot to revive temples ,sanctify places and build centers, during his entire Indian tour. Swami was the head of the Mutt and looked into affairs of the mutt as also was an acharya for his disciples and continued traditional way of teaching. Vetti yah vedaangam sah aapnothi paramam padam prathikoolanivaarakam mokshopakaarakam cha 42 Jyothisha Prakaasham Mithuna (Vijaya) Narayana gurudevan From lagna the 9th lord mars is debilitated and is in 12th house. So he came into spirituality later in life and also due to 9th being neecha, he belonged to a lower caste. 10th lord venus is neecha and is in 2nd house. So not well placed. So both 9th and 10th lords are weak from lagna. But there is kuladeepaka yoga in the chart with Jupiter. Sun ,mercury opposing moon with Jupiter, this made him tread the path of spirituality and become famous and well knowen among masses and trend setter. Hence he did not establish any ashrams or mutts nor had any disciples. Nor did he preach the traditional way. But due to the yoga, he shined as a spiritual master. From moon also 10th lord mars is debilitated and 9th lord is also debilitated. So he couldn’t do much activities in name of spirituality, nor was he an acharya in the true sense of the term. He did not head any spiritual organization. Thus we understand the role of 9th and 10th lords for becoming heads of spiritual organizations. 9th and 10th houses and lords should be well placed and in strength to become spiritual leaders and acharyas and heading organizations. If 9th lord is exalted it shows that a person has guru’s grace. This helps a seeker to easily join an ashram. If 9th lord or house is not strong, its not favorable for the same. Vetti yah vedaangam sah aapnothi paramam padam prathikoolanivaarakam mokshopakaarakam cha 43 Jyothisha Prakaasham Mithuna (Vijaya) If 10th is strong and 9th is not strong a person will be able to work for the activities of the ashram. If 9th and 10th are strong but are in kendras or kona, the person shall preach scriptures, but is not an acharya. If 10th lord is in the 8th house and very strong, the person may head organization or lead certain centers in the organization. If 10th lord is associated with 8th lord the person will be doing spiritual oriented activities. 10th lord in 8th as we have observed has also given bodily troubles for all great masters during their spiritual activities. If 10th lord is in 5th and Jupiter is associated with the same and some indications of sanyaasa is there in the chart, the person becomes a mentor or guide to others on spiritual path, though he may or may not be part of the order. Vetti yah vedaangam sah aapnothi paramam padam prathikoolanivaarakam mokshopakaarakam cha 44 Jyothisha Prakaasham Mithuna (Vijaya) Horoscope Analysis Swami Paramahamsa Yogananda Though there have been great masters who have taken birth on earth and in particular in Bhaarata or India, still none would be as inspiring as this great master of Paramahamsa Yogananda. Though people are inspired by other great realized masters like Swami Vivekananda, Ramana Maharshi etc. still it is with this master that people are able to relate themselves with – the master of Paramahamsa Yogananda. Though mostly focused on yoga sadhanas, still the book of “Autobiography of a Yogi” is worth reading for all sadhakas. It not only gives us a perspective into things that we don’t know but also shows us as to how we also can grow from being a normal being to a spiritual master. Generally we only believe what can be seen or proven through direct perception. There are things that are beyond our normal perception and this is exactly what is shown in the book of this great master. We can know that there are things beyond our normal perception by the effects created by extra-sensual things. Another greatness of this master’s book and life is that he never focused on the various miraculous powers that we can attain and that will make us do things beyond the world (extra-sensory things). The focus is always on the goal of moksha alone. Moreover we find as to how this master keeps searching for his Guru and doesn’t stop until he has achieved the guru and through the Guru, the ultimate goal of life as moksha. That moksha is possible for anybody is known through the life of this master. The scriptures say that the Consciousness which pulsates inside each one of us as I-exist, I-exist at all times is Brahman and realization of this truth which is beyond all identifications and associations is moksha. Therefore moksha, by being our very nature, is possible for each and every person here and now itself. What is required is just the strong desire for moksha and perseverance in the spiritual path towards moksha. May this great master bless us so that we will be able to progress quickly in the spiritual path towards moksha and through attainment of moksha we will be able to ever rejoice in bliss. Let’s as a tribute to this master, analyze the horoscope of this unique master. Vetti yah vedaangam sah aapnothi paramam padam prathikoolanivaarakam mokshopakaarakam cha 45 Jyothisha Prakaasham Mithuna (Vijaya) Chart Analysis: Ascendant Leo gave swami a very daring, strong and bold character and a kingly stature. Moon is in 3 deg in ascendant. Moon in lagna has given him a feminine look with sharp features. 12th lord moon in lagna made swami travel far and wide. He lost his mother at an early age and was away from home and home country most of his life. 12th moon in lagna also gave him weak constitution. The moon in 3 deg barely at the border lead swami to have wide range of imaginations and hallucinations as we all know that in his child hood he had undergone various visions and experiences of his Guru. Such situation of moon shows extremities of mind. His introverted and quiet nature shows his emotional side of his character. Moon in lagna made him a mystical saint. Vetti yah vedaangam sah aapnothi paramam padam prathikoolanivaarakam mokshopakaarakam cha 46 Jyothisha Prakaasham Mithuna (Vijaya) In navamsa moon is in mars house aspected by Saturn. This is one of the conditions of sanyaasa yoga. Thus swamiji adorned the robes of a sanyaasi and was interested in path of renunciation from childhood, due to the sanyaasa yoga in the chart and due to 12th house being strong and aspected by benefics. If we have a look at the 5th house, we see that mercury and sun are in 5th house from lagna. This combination denotes peak intelligence. All great masters like swami Vivekananda has mercury and sun in the 5th house. In bhava also from moon the 5th house has venus and Jupiter and Saturn aspects. This also is a contributing factor for the devotional aspect of swamiji. But mercury is at 0 deg In the horoscope indicating ups and downs in thinking. Such people can go to either extremes easily. Such people should be spiritually oriented or may land into problems. Moon and mercury in the border of the houses shows the emotional and moody nature swamiji had during his early days. In bhava venus is in 5th, the poetic tendencies of loving nature, being with nature nature and talking with nature can be seen in his childhood days. Lagna lord sun in 5th also shows that his character is influenced by his mind and he is mind oriented person. We all know that swamiji struggled a lot to find his Guru. This can be attributed to Jupiter in 8th house. Jupiter in 8th is not favourable for spirituality. But Jupiter being in the own house and 5th house being strong, made things favourable. In bhava Jupiter is in 9th. This is good indication for spirituality. Trines from lagna and bhava have benefics, so the horoscope is strong in spirituality. Jupiter in 8th also gave him huge body at the later stage of life. Jupiter in 9th and in bhava chart with Saturn in 3rd house and mercury in 5th along with sun have given swami ji the power of coming up with kriya yoga and propagating among masses. 5th house influenced by sun and Jupiter influencing 9th along with Saturn or rahu, will make a person bring out pranayama and meditation techniques. The 2nd house of word power is aspected by Jupiter and mars. Saturn also is in the 2nd house. Mars is the yoga karaka and is aspecting 2nd house. This made swamiji’s words, powerful and influencing people at the same time. He was also aggressive when needed and open and frank. Also the 2nd lord mercury is in 5th house. This shows that words and thoughts coherence is there. This shows his word power. His word power is actually his Vetti yah vedaangam sah aapnothi paramam padam prathikoolanivaarakam mokshopakaarakam cha 47 Jyothisha Prakaasham Mithuna (Vijaya) mind power, which is manifested in lot of his childhood incidents. So this brought him lot of name and fame. Even his family got famous on account of swamiji. 3rd lord venus is a benefic and is in Kendra. So this makes swamiji brave and bold. Mars the yoga karaka aspecting the 3rd house also gave him fighting nature and negative courage.

If a farmer puts a query “whether or not I shall successfully cultivate a certain land”. The ascendant indicates the cultivator, the 4th is the land, 7th rules cultivation and 10th the crops. If lagna is occupied by a malefic, the farmer loses by theft. If malefic in lagna is free from retrogression or acceleration, the beneficiary will be the thief. If benefics occupy the lagna, farmer will benefit by the cultivation. If a malefic occupies the 4th house the cultivator will dispense with the land. If a benefic is located in the 7th, cultivation will be successful. If malefic then cultivation will be destroyed. If lord of 10th is in 10th or aspecting with benefics, then there will be good crop. In queries relating to leasing of the land, the ascendant signifies the querent and the 7th indicates the lessee, the 10th signifies the production and the 4th rules the final profit. Benefits accrue if the lagna and its lord are connected with benefics. If they are afflicted contrary results are shown. Whoever be the lessee he will suffer if malefic in the 7th and in the 10th, the querist will not derive benefits even though the crop yield is satisfactory. If malefic in the 4th the results are unfavourable. The fourth house in addition to crops and lesses also shows immovable property, land acquisitions. With respect to purchase of property we can regard first as the querist or buyer, the 7th as seller, the 10th house the price and 4th the property. If 4th has malefic the buyer will not derive any benefit. If benefics are in 10th revenue from the property is indicated.

We can take 10th as representing any business and the 4th the place where the business is carried on. The 4th also stands for conveyances. If the lord of ascendant and the 4th lord are under good aspects the querent is advised to buy a new car.
