Question: I am enclosing my horoscope and a palm imprint. Regarding
my horoscope, I like to mention that
some say my Lagna is Aquarius and
some Pisces. Please clarify this point.
Secondly, on November 23, 2008 I
dreamed somebody asking me to look
at my right palm lines. I was surprised
to find my Head Line ending with a fish
tail and also line on the (Mount of) Moon
with a fish tail.
Finally I was told that my fortunes
would improve from October, but (it
was) just the opposite. I trusted a close
relative by lending him 12 lakhs, but he
let me down badly. Please verify these
points for me.
Answer: Your Lagna is Pisces if the
birth time given by you is correct.
I cannot say anything definite about what
you call the `fish tail’ without examining it.
However, any line that branches off and
goes upwards from the Head Line signifies
fame and high recognition.
I am not surprised that you are going
through a difficult period. Your bad patch
should have begun with your coming under
the Shani Maha Dasa in November 2005.
Saturn, no doubt, as the occupant of the
Karmasthana 10th House of Sagittarius
owned by Jupiter would have initially conferred on you wealth, fame and high position and Saturn true to his nature has
started taking back what he had given
you.
You have been born ‘great’ with Chamara Yoga and Anapa Yoga fortifying you
at birth. Jupiter who was exalted in Cancer at birth is posited in your Lagna now.
Therefore, your situation cannot be as bad
as you make it out. You are now running
the Antar Dasa of Mercury in the Maha
Dasa of Saturn. There will be a change for
the better in your fortunes after January 8
next year.
From ‘Distressed’ in
Moratuwa
Question: I am a very keen follower of
the Astrology page in the Nation paper.
At present I am undergoing severe
mental stress and hardships. For so
many years nothing has succeeded in
my life.
Please let me know the following:
(1) Any chance of a marriage?
(2) Will I ever own a house?
(3) Career success?
(4) Any foreign travel or will I reside
abroad?
Answer: We welcome you as a regular
reader of the Nation Zodiac. I have to answer your queries as follows:
(1) You are likely to marry before June
2011. However, planetary positions indicate you have had several love affairs. The
direct aspect of Rahu on the Moon and the
superior planets occupying the 9th House
have deprived you of marital happiness so
far.
(2) Rahu in the 4th House has denied
you a permanent residence or living in one
place continuously for a long period of time.
You may succeed in acquiring a permanent
residence after June next year.
(3) You have a natural tendency to constantly look for a greener pasture not being
satisfied with your employment in hand.
Stick to one job with singleness of purpose
for career success.
(4) There are several indications signifying foreign travel for you. You may migrate
to another country after May 2013.
Please remember that your horoscope
reflects the Kamma you accumulated in
your previous birth. Perseverance, selfconfidence and a righteous living will serve
you as a shield against the influences of
malefic planets to a great extent.

Marakas – Death inflicting planets
BY A.S.FERNANDO
By now, our readers
should be familiar with the
terms, benefics and malefics.
The Sun, Mars, Rahu,
and Ketu, are considered
natural malefics. The weak
Moon and the badly associated Mercury (in the company of malefics) are also
looked on as malefics. The
ancient Maharishis in India
enunciated the principles of Vedic
Astrology based on the existence
of only nine planets - the Sun,
Mars, Moon, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn and the two shadow
planets Rahu and Ketu exerting
their influence on man and environment on earth.
In recent times, astrologers, both
Western and Oriental, acknowledged the influence of the recently
discovered planets Neptune, Uranus and Pluto and the validity of
taking them for astrological calculations. Of these three planets,
Uranus and Pluto are considered
malefics and Neptune a benefic.
Jupiter, Venus, Mercury (free
from malefic influence), and the
strong Moon are considered natural benefics.
All planets, be they benefic or
malefic, can turn Marakas due to
conjunctions or associations with
other planets in certain Bhavas or
Houses in the horoscope with in
certain instances the evil nature

further strengthened by bad aspects.
Therefore, it should be borne in
mind that Marakas are planets who
come to possess death inflicting
powers under specific conditions.
Death generally occurs during
the Maha Dasa or Antar Dasa of
death inflicting planets.
In determining the Ayurdaya or
longevity (whether Balrishta, Alapayu, Madyayu or Purnayu), you
have to first ascertain to which
Ayu-category that the horoscope
under study belongs and thereafter
determine the Maraka planets and
the periods when their influence
comes into operation.
The 8th and 3rd Houses from
the Lagna are considered Houses
of Life. The 2nd and 7th houses
are called Houses of Death.
The 2nd House is more effective in inflicting death that the 7th
House. Planets occupying the 2nd
House are stronger in causing Maraka than the planet who owns it.
Planets who are conjunct with
the lord of the 2nd House are
the most powerful in inflicting
death.
Therefore, the lords of the
2nd and 7th Houses, planets occupying them and the
planets in conjunction with
them are the maraka planets.
`Marakas – death inflicting planets’ is a vast subject which cannot be fully
dealt with in a brief article like this.
However, for the information of our
readers the planets that can cause
death under varying conditions are
given in a nutshell below.
• The occupants of the 2nd and
7th Houses
• Planets governing the 2nd and
7th Houses
• Planets who join the lords of
the 2nd and 7th Houses
• Planets other than yogakaraks
who become evil due to the Houses they occupy and who conjoin
the lords of the Houses of Death.
• Lords of the 3rd and 8th houses cause death if death does not
occur in the Dasas of non- yogakaraks.
• If the Dasa of a death inflicting planet does not come into operation, the most evil planet in the
horoscope would cause death.
• Saturn would cause death during his 2nd or 3rd Jamma Ershtaka
period.

and the partial Solar eclipse is to occur in the 11th House of country’s

Sun (Ravi), Mars, Mercury, Pluto,
Rahu and the Moon will be in transit at the time of the eclipse. This is
a rare combination of planets to be
found in a House together at a time of an
eclipse.
The afflicted 11th House signifies the loss of gains from other
nations, a sharp decrease in our
national income and deterioration
in international relations. The 5th
House of the country’s natal chart
is afflicted by the aspect of Mars
and Pluto and this foreshadows an
increase in crime against children.
Meanwhile, the cases of ill treatment and abuse of children will be
brought to light.

Although our country is not in
the path of this eclipse, its direct

events like Lunar and Solar eclipses intensify the cosmic rays striking our earth and precipitate

Mars exalted in the 6th House of Capricorn endows you with resourcefulness

You are advised to keep your children under

On the heels of the total Lunar
Eclipse that occurred on December
21 that caused freak weather conditions the world over, not sparing
our country, comes another eclipse
- a partial Solar eclipse shortly after the dawn of the New Year.
This eclipse due to occur in the
2nd quarter of Puvasala asterism
of the fiery Zodiac sign of Sagittarius too will certainly make a
marked impact on man and environment on earth as usual.
This eclipse will be visible in
most of Europe, Northern part of
Africa, Middle East and Western
Asia. The eclipse is due to begin at
12.10 pm over North Algeria. The
greatest eclipse is to occur at 2.20
pm over North Eastern Sweden.
The Sun dignifies the House he
occupies. However, the 11th House
where he is moving now is afflicted
by Rahu, Mars and Pluto who are
capable of nullifying the good effects produced by the Sun.

Were you born between
January 15 and
February 14?
BY A.S.FERNANDO
The Sun, during his annual journey
round the Zodiac, moves in the Capricorn sign from January 15 to February
14.
Those born during the Solar month
of Capricorn are endowed with certain
characteristics peculiar to the Capricorn even if their Lagna (the sign
rising from the horizon at the time of
birth) is different. Persons born during
the Solar month of Capricorn possess
sagacity, foresight and circumspect.
They are cautious and hard working.
They have a strong sense of duty and
therefore, always place service before
self. Their humility is clearly seen
even when they hold high office or positions of authority.
Initiative and hard work bring success to them. Conscientious and loyal
workers, Capricorn people are also
pragmatic and frugal-minded.
They prefer to marry home lovers
who can provide them with home comforts and companionship. Capricorn
people are generally self-made people.
Wealth usually comes to them after the
age of 42. Their youth is they have to
face many challenges during their career.
They serve their superiors loyally.
Capricorn subjects with favourable
planets at birth would rise to high office in politics.
Capricorn people sometimes take to
alcohol and drugs as an escape from
mental depression and melancholia,
thereby run the risk of getting hooked
on them. Therefore, they advised to
practise temperance.
They succeed in occupations which
demand commitment and hard work.
Capricorn people are prone to rheumatism and diseases affecting liver.
Capricorn people are assured of
marital happiness and general success
in life if they marry subjects of the
same sign or of Taurus or Virgo.
