 MARS AND MARRIAGE
By Jyothtsha Praveena K. S. KRISHNAMU^Tl.
(Extract from the speech given by "the Editor on 20*9*4)3 at Bharatiya VidVa Bhavan> New Delhi)
As marriage season is fast approaching,-
Mars Dosha, Eka Dasa, Dasa Sandhi, etc.,
published)
In my experience,"I have noticed that
people in the North of India do not pay
as much attention to the evi! results of
Mars as the astrologers and parents of
brides and bridegrooms in certain'districts
in the South do. Whenever parents desire
to .make a selection of a bride or a bride-
gropra, they first consider whether there
js Mars Dosha in the respective horo-
scopes or not* They, arc, indeed, very
much worried if they find Mars Dosha in
cither of the horoscopes.
One may ask, "Why should they attach
much importance to the position of
Mars alone? Wc had never heard any-
body talking of Moon's' Dosha or Sun's
Dosha or any other planet's dosha. Then,
does it mean that Mars alone will do so
much harm to the couple which other
planets cannot do?" " 12. Will there be no. unfavourable
The reply is that there are some people
who unnecessarily exaggerate the evil
results of Mars,. Most of the following
points are not taken for consideration :
1. What is the nature of Mars?
2. Of which houses Mars is the lord?
Does it become a benefic or a malefic by
. owning such houses^
3.- Which house is occupied by Mars?-
Is it a favourable nc or an unfavourable
one?
'A,- Ale the"evil results of Mars uni-
formly the same, when it occupies either
Aries (Mesha) or Taurus (Rishaba) or
emini or any other sign in the Zodiac?
51- Is there no change in the. results of
Mars if it were to be in a movable or a
fixed or a common sign?
10
6. Is there no difference in the effect
of Mars if it occupies the various .houses
(Bbavas)? ^
7.. Does Mars Dosha mean'only tfie
loss of partner and widow-hood ? Can it
"not cause any other trouble during-
married fife?
8. What are the modifications in the
results of Mars, if it occupies its exaltation,
own, friendly, inimical and debilitation
signs?
9. How far can the planets conjoined
with, or aspecting Mars, mitigate the
affliction of NJars when it occupies .
unfavourable houses?
10. Even when Mars occupies a
favourable house, cannot the* adverse
aspects of the planets bring about ^dis-
agreeable results ?
11. Will Mars be evil, even when it
owns Rajayoga houses? (9 and 10)
result, if Mars occupies a favourable
house, even though it owns evil houses ?
13. Are we to count houses occupied
by Mars, frpm 'Lagna alone or from the
sign occupied by Moon and Venus also?
14. If there is dosha, what is the exact
nature of the difficulty ?
15. Will afflicted Mars offer unfavour-
able results throughout life? "Or will it-
be experienced x only during'.a certain
period? vWhen can one expect such bad
results?
16. If evil effects of Mars is indicated
in both the horoscopes, what is the final
result,if they get married?
17.- If tbe-Mars Dosha is found in one
chart'and the- other is free from it, how
will the married life be 7
. . 18. If there is no such dosha in both :
'the horoscopes, is a happy and barmoni-
ous wedded life guaranteed for a Ion
number of years?
19. As the houses 2, 7 and 11 indicate
one's marriage as well as the state of
married life, if these houses are occupied'
by benefics and.if Mars occupies an evil
sign, even then will there be any bad
effect 7
20. If the houses 2, 7 and 11 are owned
by malefics and'occupied by malefics and
there is no Mars Dosha, how -can the
partners lead a peaceful and prosperous
life ?-
Let me explain to you, in detail, quoting
authorities and giving examples', that one .
need not ^unnecessarily entertain any fear
about Mars and its untoward effects.
Mars (Kuja) is also called Mangal, Sewai,
.Angaraka etc. ~-N' '
Mars owns the two signs: Aries (Meshal
and Scorpio (Vrischika). It has to be a
benefic to those born in these two signs as
it is the lord of the ascendant. ' But Mars
is not genuinely good to such natives, be-
cause when it happens to be the Lord of
Lagna, the other house it owns will be 8
to .Aries (Mesha) and 6 to Scorpio (Vrischi-
ka). Hence, the difficulties, indicated by
Mars, as lord of 8 or 6, the evil houses,,
will be self-invited.
But- to people whose birth was in
Cancer (Kataka), Leo (Siinha), Sagittarius
(Dhanus) and Pisces (Meena), Mars is a
Rajayogadhipatbj and a benehc. It pro-
mises peace, progress and prosperity. But
to persons born in Mercury's signs (viz.)
Gemini and Virgo, Mars is evil and especi-
ally to Virgo borns. It is not auspicious
to those born in the~signs owned by Venus,
i.e., Taurus (Vrishabha) and Libra (Thula);
it is comparatively more inauspicious to."
Taurus than to Libra. For people born in
the signs owned by Saturn, i.e., Capricorn
(^fakara) and Aquarius (Kumbha), it will
prove mostly beneficial for worldly
pleasures and material welfa e. ^ ._.
NATURE OF MARS: When he owns
beneficial houses and occupies favourable-
signs, he gives courage, bojdness and a
go-ahead spirit. Mars offers robust health.
Success in attempts and viciory oyer
. enemies are promised by Mars. To receive
help from brothers, to have a larger yield
from landed property and buildings, Mar5
has to be well posited in a horoscope.
When Mars becomes evil byowning bad
houses (6, 8 & 12) or by occupying such
houses, it makes one arrogant, adamant
and atrocious. The person will be extra-
vagant, impulsive and rash. Haste brings
about waste. He will lose honour, money
and position. He or-she will have'no
peace; be ever quarrelling and violent.
Disharmony, dispute and difficulties
the malefic effects of Mars. Accidents,
injury, death by fire, wound, burns and
even murder are the horrors of Mars.
Especially to ladies, it -must be a
bencfic. Otherwise, it is likely that in
infancy they may have injuries caused by
fire. Mars does not allow the children to
have satisfactory growth due to -liver
enlargement, or they will easily contract
the various infectious diseases due to lack
of resistance in the system. Later in lifCj
it is likely that they may suffer from
menstrual troubles as Moon and Mars
indicate this peculiarity in their Charts.
When parents attempt to fix the marriage
of their sons and daughters, the so-called
Mars Dosha, interpreted-by the astrologers
according to their whims and fanciest
confuses them due to varying opinion given
by them. After marriage, Marshas to offer
peace and harmony in married life. Brother-
in-law and sister-in-law should not make
their life unhappy. She also should not
sufferfrom Hysteriaorfits. . Whenthewife
is in the family way, there should be no
albumin in the urine. - Nor, at the time of
delivery, surgeon's aid is to be soughffor.
Mars can cause .profuse bleeding,, haemor-
rhage etc. Later, to maintain good
relationship with brothers, to purchase
building, lands, etc., Mars has to be ruling
and occupying favourable houses. To
avoid accidents and injuries and to have_ .
no^'unnatural 'death,- Mars has* to be - *
favourable. " Thus it will be seen that .
Mars has to be strong and beneficial in the
horoscope of the btide especially.
 Generally, God will wait, watch and will
fin ally punish, but the Kings will do harm
suddenly and surprisingly without any
delay: -Mars will act like kings. Probably
that is why people are frightened about
' Mars Dosha. '
Let me first of all reproduce the various
rales and finally offer my opinion.
When is Mars called evil or1 when
does it cause 'Dosha -

"LAGNA, INDU, SUKRATH, DUSSTHANAE,,
are the authorities to decide when Mars
becomes an evil. Here the sages have not
taken into consideration, the nature and
the lordship of the sign occupied by Mars,
its other connections, etc. They go step by
step. First they mention the houses, which
when occupied by Mars, cause Mars Dosha.
One has to count from the Lagna
(Ascendant), from the sign occupied by
Moon (not the house or the Bhava), from
"the sign.occupied by Venus (not the house).
-The calculation is from sign to sign and
not house to house.
For example, Lagna is in Gemini 28;
Moon 18 Leo; Venus 28 Scorpio ; and
. Mars 2 Sagittarius. Calculate sign to sign
alone. Forget the division of ^houses..
'Where is Lagna ? It is in Gemini."'(It may
.be the 1st degree or the last degree. What-
. ever it is, count thesin Gemini as' t.)Then
Moon is in the 3rd sign and Venus is in 6.
Mars is in 7 counted from Lagna. Hence,
there is Mars Dosha counted from Lagna.
Moon is in Leo IS". Mars is in Sagitta-
rius 2. Forget the longitude of the
planets .in the signs.- Moon istnLeo; so
Leo is 1 : Virgo is 2*: Libra is 3: Scorpio
is 4: Sagittarius is 5. Therefore Mars does
not cause Mars Dosha when counted from .
Moon sign.
Venus is in Scorpio 28. Mars is in 2
Sagitfarius. Though it is only 4 away yet
count the sign Scorpio as 1 and Sagitta?
rius as 2 ; take that Mars is in 2nd sign
counted from Venus,and consider that it
will cause Mars Dosha.
Suppose, in the above example. Mars.is
in 29 Aries ; then it is in 11 to Lagna, 9
to Moon and 6 to Venus, when there is no
dosha at all when counted from Lagna of
Moon or Venus. Then they call such a
position of - Mars iu a horoscope as
" Suddha Jatakam", i.e., "there i no _
Mars Dosha at all
Mars occupying /, 2, 4, 7, 8, 12 houses
{signs) counted from Lagna, Moon and
Venus is said to cause " Mars Dosha
One may ask why should Mars be consi-
dered to be evil only when it occupies
l,2,4,7,8or 12th position from Lagna or
Moon or Venus?. Is it a benefic when it
occupies any'of the other signs?
Now, we are considering about the
results of Mars during the period of fixation
of marriage, the time of celebratron "and
the state of married.life. We do not judge
whether it is favourable or not for other
considerations in life.such as finance, for-
tune, .profession, etc. . We are. concerned
with the health of the couple, harmony
among them and happiness-to-them:- "
(a). Lagna or ascendant denotes health,
longevity and personal characteristics.. As
Lagna will be the 7th (Maraka) house to
the 7th which indicates partner, lagna also
indicates'(the maraka) or the end of life of
the partnef..
(b) The second house denotes the
happiness or otherwise in domestic life, in-

(c) The fourth house denotes domestic Mars is in 2 to Moon and
environments. The sages have declared that Mars is in 4 to Lagna.
evils occupying a sign which is either four
or eight from a Bhava, spoils the Bhava.
Hence Mars in 4 is evil to the ascendant,
i.e., to the health and belongings of the
native.
(d) The seventh house shows the legal
bondage and the wife or the husband, her
or his health, longevity of both and also
the characteristics of the partners, whether
they will have good understanding among
themselves or not. Hence the position of
Mars in 7, is not conducive to the above
benefits.
(e) The eighth house shows the difficul- 2. It may be in one of the evil houses
ties of the native and the finance and fortune counted from Moon and Lagna and not
of the partner, as well as their longevity. from Venus. (Example 2.)
Eighth house is called MangalyaSthana,
i.e., the duration of the married life. Mais
situated in this house is therefore evil.
(f) The twelfth house indicates the real
pleasure which the partners derive, the
deception, the loss, etc.
But the third house denotes brother, fifth
music, speculation and offspring, 6th debts
and disease, 9th father, 10th profession
and 11th profit etc.
Further, sages have declared that the
houses 3, 6, 10 and 11 are Upachya Stha-
nas and that malefics by nature occupying 3. Mars may be in any of the evil
any of the Upachaya Sthanas will produce houses counted from Moon and Venus and
desirable results. not from Lagna. (Example 3.)
Again let us consider the following.
Suppose Lagna indicates your residence. Mars Moon
Then houses 2 and 12 are the neighbouring
houses and how can one have peaceif these
are occupied by wicked persons. If the
bad fellow were to be in just the opposite
house, i.e., the 7th, then also there is danger
for the native. As already mentioned, the
4th and the 8th houses counted from the
Lagna should not be occupied by evil
planets, if good health, happy domestic
environments and a long spell of pleasant
wedded life are to be enjoyed.

 Moon and Mais in one sign assures that
the evil effect of Mars will be nullified.
Thus regarding Mars Dosha, there are
various rules expounded in Devakerala,
Horasasthra, Jataka Chandrika, Nara-
dheeyam, etc., and by Athrimaha Rishi,
Garga and others.
7b sum up:Mars may be in 1, 2, 4, 7,
8 or 12 houses from Lagna or Moon or
Venus. If it is in Mesha or Vrischika
its own signs, there is no dosha.
Mars in Venus signs cannot do harm
if it is the 4th or 7th house.
Mars in Mercury signs will have its
evil results warded off if it is in the 2nd
house.
Mars has no dosha in the houses owned
by Sun, Moon and Saturn.
Evil results of Mars cannot operate if
the sign occupied by Mars is ruled by
Jupiter and happens to be the 8th.
, Now let us consider how to match horo-
scopes and fix up the marriage.
1. If, in the bride's chart, there is dosha;
select such a bridegroom who also has
more or less similar Mars Dosha.
2.-If,-'in the bride's chart, there is Mars
JDosha, due to its relative position counted
from Lagna or Moon or Venus and there
is Parihara or modification due to some
disposition or conjunction with the modi-
fying planet or aspect by a benefic, match
it with that of the bridegroom in whose
chart also there is the dosha of Mars and
also the modification.
3. If there is no dosha at all in the
bride's chart and it is termed as Suddha
fathakam, match it with one which has no
dosha at all.
18
You know that Mars denotes Erythro-
cytes, Red bone-marrow, blood, etc. Sup-
pose a person has lost blood due to any
accident or delivery, etc., then the medical
attendant gives transfusion of blood.
Mind you, he cannot give the blood of
any person kept in the Blood Bank. He
has to carry out an examination of the
blood of the patient and from his test he
is to ascertain whether the blood of the
patient belongs to 'A' Group or 'B '
Group or 'O ' Group. There are 3 main
groups. To which group his blood belongs
is to be ascertained. Then, the same
blood group alone is to be given to the
patient. If he gives any other blood,
say, blood belonging -to another group,
blood will precipitate, clot and he will die.
Similarly, there are three groups in
Mars Dosha:
1. There is dosha in the chart without
any modification..
2. There is dosha in the chart with
modification and mitigation.
3. There is no dosha at all.
It is, therefore, necessary that Astrolo-
gers should carefully weigh and consider
the various points of Mars Dosha in the
given charts and advise on the correct
match.
N.B.: (a) The other method of esti-
mating the evil results caused by Jhe
malefic planets by nature occupying 1, 2,
4, 7, 8, or 12 counted from Lagna, Moon
and Venus will be published in the follow-
ing issues.
(b) Further detailed results of Mars
in the 12 signs, in the 12 houses counted
from Ascendant, Moon and Venus will
also appear in the succeeding issues.

The sun in the 9th, the Moon in the 4tb,
Mars in the 3rd, Jupiter in the 5th, Venus
in the 7th and Saturn in the 8th will cause
distress to the concerned houses or Bhavas.
But Vaidyanatha Dikshitar says
XaniavaiieSEanthana rasiyatha :
Sithenthu puthra maravanthya mana ;
' ^ ArishtadhaSthac fcila Jathakeshu
Sadha stamasye : Samirishtadha i Syath
Venus occupying the 7th, Mercury the
4th, Jupiter the 5th house from the ascend-
ant, are evil to all the births. But Saturn
in the 8th house from the Lagna will give
desirable results. So also in Bhavartha
.Rathnakara,-Sri Ramanuja Charya reite-
rates those mentioned by Vaidyanatha
Dikshilhar in Jataka Parijalham.
One should not apply this rule strictly,
and decide that Karaka planets,' occupying
the same Karaka houses, are harmfuL
One has to read other chapters and note
the results given by various authors, and
also the same sage or authors for those
planets occupying the Karaka houses;
i.e., be should read the results for Sun in
Lagna 9 and 10, Jupiter in 2, Mars in 3,
Moon and Mercury in 4, Jupiter in 5,
Venus in 7 and so on.
-r Phaladheepika^Sun in the first house
shows that the person will be valiant.
Moon in the 4th house makes one happy
and liberal in gifts. He will have friends
and vehicles. (Vehicle is indicated, by the'
fJth. house;:and'Moon in 4 is said to be
good to own conveyance.)
20
The person having Mercury in the 4th
house will be learned, witty in speech,
happy, etc. He will possess lands, corn
and wealth. Jupiter in the 5th house shows
that the person will be intelligent and be a
minister. He will have good children and
also distress through children. Venus in
the seventh house gives a good wife and he
may also have intriguesjwith bad women.
He will lose his wife and be wealthy.
If Saturn is in the 8th house he will be
without wealth and will suffer from piles.
In Jataka Parijatham the author says that
Saturn in 8 will invariably do good to the
native.
It is said that, if Sun should occupy the
9th house, he will lose his father. (When 7
Every one will lose his father early or
late.)
Sun in the tenth house gives permanent
position in the Government, etc.
Let us consider the following points:
1. Suppose a child is born and the
mother, immediately after delivery, passes
away. Does the moon invariably occupy
the 4th house to the Lagna of the new babe?
No; in a majority of cases, Moon is not
in the 4th house..
2. Is it not a fact that all men, having
unaf&icted Venus in the 7th house, are
lucky to have themostbeautiful brides with
pleasing manners as their partners? Does
Venus occupy only the 7th house in the
horoscopes of all those who suffer in their
married life? Is it not true that majority
of the people having VenusSukra, in the
other 11 houses to their Lagna,' pray for
harmony and happiness at home?
3. Are there not posthumus children
and also many who have lost their father
in theirinfancy and youth, having Sun in
other houses except the ninth which is
said to cause evil?
.^re there not horoscopes having
Mars in the 3rd house with many younger
brothers and sisters?
5. Are there not people born with
Saturn in 8, living for a-long number of
years. One ofthe patrons of this magazine
is born in Mesha Lagna with a group of
 planets in 8, including Saturn in Scorpio,
and is still alive (age is now 64).
When we take the horoscopes of all those
who had Alpa Ayus, i.e., short life, we do
not see Saturn in the 8th house in them. If
one refers to Uttara Kalamritham, tran-
slated by Sri V. Subramaniya'Sastri, from
pages 29 to 45, one will find 24 charts of
short-lived "persons. Only in one, Saturn
is in 8 and in the other 23 horoscopes,
Saturn is found to occupy all the other
Bhavas.
Thus it will be seen that,
a. People, having Mars in 3 alone, do
not suffer through brothers. Also there are
many,- having none younger to them, with
Mars in other houses and most of the
people, having Mars in other positions,
also, are the .youngest children in their
family.
b. All children, born with Moon in the
4th house, have not lost their mothers in
their youth. Also, the mothers who passed
away immediately, after delivery, have not
given birth to children, having Moon only
' in the 4th house from their Ascendant.
Jhus, one cannot find much truth in this
rule.
" Karako BhavaNasaya-".
It may be argued that people, having
Mars in the 3rd house, may not see eye to
eye with brother or sister.
Then the question arises whether they
will be inimical to each other From their
birth, or whether they will have misunder-
standing or partition, etc. when they attain
majority, or whether they will ever be-
bitter "enemies. So also, if there is to be
distress through wife, for some of those-
who have Venus in the 7th house, then is it
from the time of marriage or when they '
become very old.
Proper interpretation is as follows!
h All evil planets in the 3rd house will
spoil the ^hird Bhava. But Mars will be i
the strongest evil in the 3rd house; as
regards the health of the brother and re-
lationship with himself it is in the constel-
lation of . an evil planet. This will be
experienced during the period of Mars and
21
in the periods of planets in the constella-
tion of Mars.
2. All malefics in the 4th house cause
distress to mother and through mother.
This will be much pronounced, if Moon is
in; 4, especially in the constellation of ah
evil planet Mq.qn.in 4 in the constellation
of a'benefic cannot cause evil. "*
3. Jupiter in 5 does not totally deny
children or cause trouble through them.
Malefics in 5 also give worries and
similar difficulties. But Jupiter in the
constellation of an evil planet * will surely
do much harm, whereas in the constellation
of a benefic, it will give only most agree-
able results.
Therefore, the Kanaka planets,, occupy-
ing'the Karaka houses, are- generally
stronger than other evil ones in the respec-
tive houses. only when they are in the-
constellation of planets who become evil by
lordship.. -" '
But if one collects statistics to ascertain
the time when one has such evil results,
one will surely find that these, planets,
only when they are in the constellation of
evil planets, cause distress during their
periods or -sub-periods, or sub-sub-periods
in other evil planet's Dasa and Bhukti, e.g.,
difficulties to brother or through brother
will be during 4 A ' dasa, ' B' Bhukti and
Mars anthra or-'A* dasa. Mars Bhukti,
*B' Anthra or during Mars dasa, 6A*.
Bhukti,4 B' Anthra. Separation from wife
or bereavement may be during, .
< C
6 A' Dasa B' Bhukti, Venus anthara or
B* Dasa, 'A'Bhukti, Venus anthara or
'A'Dasa, Venus Bhukti, 'B' anthara,
and so on.
Therefore, they will prove to be evil
only during their periods or sub periods,
if they are in the constellation of evil
planets. Evil result will be experienced in
the periods of planets occupying the'star
nakshatbra, of the Karaka planets in evil
planet's constellation.
. Further, does not mean that the
trouble is ever lasting 'from birth to
death.- It is also not necessary that, when-
ever there trouble, these planets, dasa
 or Bhukti, or anthara should operate, other
evil planets, in those Bhavas or in.any
manner connected with the Karaka planets,
"Will also cause distress in their periods and
sub periods.
Planets in the constellation .of the
Karaka planets, occupying the Karaka
' signs, will surely cause trouble." " For
exampld, in those horoscopes, with Mars
in the 3rd house; in evil planet's constella-
tion, if there are planets in any of the 3
constellations of Mars,. Mrigasririsha,
Chitra or Dhanishta, they also will do
harm during the joint period of this planet
and Mars.
If Jupiter is in 5 in the constellation of
an evil planet, and if there is another
planet, in any one of the 3 stars of Jupiter,
Punarvasu, Visakam or Poorattadhi, this
planet will do harm to children in its
period and sub period.
If Venus is in 7 in the constellation of
an evil planet, and if any other planet
occupies any one-of the 3 stars, Bharani,
Poorvapalguni or Poorvashada, this planet
will be undesirable for the happy married
life in its period.,
"Therefore
1. "Even though Karakas may occupy
respective Karaka signs, note whether the
lord of the constellation is a benefic or
malefic. If it is a benefic, expect only
good results. If the lord of the constella-
tion is a malefic, then alone, the results
will be undesirable.
What results the Karaka planets in
Karaka signs. indicate, wilk be offered by
those, planets which occupy the constella-
tion of the Karaka planets." .
This is the finding of the Modern Astro-
nomical and Astrological Research Insti-
tute, Madras and Delhi.
NO MORE DOUBTS. (Next question)
Question: What is meant by "Dasa
Sandhi? Is it harmful ?
Answer I'^By^das'a*, dne'Vneans Udu-
dasa or Vimsothari dasaUdu Dasa
Sandhi is the period when one major dasa
ends and the other dasa starts. "Sandhi"
means union. So dasa santhi is the time
when one dasa ends and the other follows.
If such a dasa sandhi of a person coin-
cides with.the dasa sandhi of the partner,
husband or wife, a few astrologers threaten
the querists by saying that the dasa sandhi
portends evil, without considering any of
the following points.
1. Is" the dasa, which is to follow,
ruled by a benefic or a malefic ?
2.. Will one enjoy in the coming dasa
or is he or she to face difficulties?
3. If both'the.couple are to be for-
tunate after the evil dasa ends,
and the favourable one com-
mences, what is wrong in match-
ing them for marriage 7
4. Can anybody marry a bride' or a
bridegroom other than what he
or she is1 destined ? Is not the
saying, Marriage, is made in
Heaven^, true?
5. If a couple are to suffer, say, till
December 1963, and they have to
enjoy lucky time from the happy
New Year 1964, will the chart'of
one show fortune from 1964,
whereas the other denotes con-
tinuation of misfortune? Should
not the bad dasa come to an end
to both, and the good dasa start
for them simultaneously.
6. A couple, after marriage, were not
fortunate to have a child for some
years. Later) just after dasa
sandhi, they had- a son born, as
the new dasa which started, pro-
mised birth of children. If there
is not such a change, in boththn
charts, how can they have the
child.
(Some, so-called astrologers, say, " if the
horoscope/-of the boy does not promise
progeny, match him with a bride who will
have many children or vice versa." Do they
think for a minute; if the boy is denied of
a child, how can the bride have? Or if
the bride should not,have:even*orie-chi!d*<'
how can the male have ? Is it not mean-
ingless or does it not mean something else.
 Such astrolocers do not think deeply
They go only by general statements and
auntee's proverbs. Can astrology avert
any event? Can one dodge fate by his
will ? - That which is to happen is sure to
take place. (Why these astrologers threaten *
the innocent. people, is not known. Is
not astrology to give mental solac^ and
strength to the depressed and to those in
distress?)
There are innumerable instances and-we
have the horoscopes of "those people
correctly cast A few horoscopes of our
friends will be published and explained
later.
1. If the lord of the dasa which is to
follow happens to occupy the constella-
tion of the lord of the previous dasa, that
is running, there will not be any major
changes in the events.
For example, a person serving in the
military department from his Mars Dasa,
will continue to hold service In the same
department during Rahiu Dasa, as Rahu
was in Chitra star ruled by Mars. Neither'
would he have suffered during Moon sub-
period in Mars Dasa nor in the sub-period
of Rahu in Rahu Dasa.
One who entered in the Bank as a junior
' officer during Jupiter Dasa, bad a pleasant
time during Rahu Bhukti in Jupiter Dasa,
and then had promotion and prosperity in
Saturn Dasa, Saturn Bhukti. Throughout
Saturn Dasa, he had good support and
improvement in status. * He had children
born in Jupiter Dasa. Saturn continued to-
give as Saturn was in Punarvasu star ruled
by Jupiter.
Thus, it will be seen that the end of any
Dasa need not be universally harmful, and
the beginning of another Dasa also need
not cause distress to all. Then astrology
" is made very simple 'to predict easily that
the beginning and the end of-a Dasa
are bad and undesirable.
2. If the lord of the Dasa, that is to
follow, owns a beneficial house, occupies
a favourable house as well as the constel-
lation of a benefic .arid.-is not afflicted,
'then the Dasa. saridhi -will" be similar to
day-dawn - when darkness will disappear,
24
and there will be bright light. The person
will have a new cycle of prosperous life
from the very beginning of the Dasa.
.3. If in the horoscopes of-^a couple*
both are running a brilliant dasa and an
undesirable result is to follow, ceftainly
both will suffer. Both must face difficul-
ties. Can any prevent them -from getting
married ? Not at all. Even if one says,
that he had avoided such a combination,
and made a selection' in which there
is no dasa sandhi in their life time, it is
only ignorance,
4. Majority of the people do .not
actually suffer in the end of a dasa or in
the beginning of another. fiut the
-sufferings in the middle.of the dasa is the
worst and they have changes in career in
any one of the Bhukties in the middle of
the dasa.
a. Verify from the people who have
retired from service and receive
comparatively, a small sum. as
pension.
Have they "retired during dasa
sandhi ?
b. Take the horoscopes of those who -
lost their wives or husbands. Did
it happen during dasa sandhi?
c. Consider those who were unfor-
tunate to lose their children.
Had they dasa santhi then?
At least was-it at the dasa sandhi
of cither of the parents ?
d. A man gets amputated, leaves
service and suffers a lot; when we
scrutinise their cases, neither he
nor bis wife had dasa sandhi.
Therefore, are we not convinced that
.good and bad happen when a dasa is
running and the windfall or the pitfall to
most of the persons was neither in the
end of a dasa, nor in the beginning of the
other?
Therefore one need not worry about
dasa sandbi at all.
Question: ^hat is eEka-dasaT? Why
do a few astrologers consider it as
harmful ?
 Answer: By Eka-dasa, they mean that
both the husband and the wife run a
period ruled by the same planet. Here,
the name of the planet alone is the same.
1. As the Lagna of both the husband
and the wife will be different, the
planet which governs the dasa
will be the owner of a different
bouse.
Therefore, they are the significators of
different results and their effect will differ
widely.
2. The lord of the dasa will be
occupying different houses when
counted from Lagna or Moon, be different; mostly opposite and partly
sign ; thereby the effect will be
different, due to occupation.
3. The planets conjoined with the
dasa lord or aspecting the dasa
lord will be different.
4. In their horoscopes, the planets
may occupy different constella-
tions.
5. Thus, the results which are
indicated by the dasa lord wilj[M
differ, even though the ^dasa lord
is called by the same name.
\
It is not correct to say that the
bride and the groom running
the same dasa, should not get
'married and if, by chance, they
get married, this Eka-dasa will
prove to be harmful.
The sages have declared that there will
be satisfactory agreement between the
bride and the bridegroom if the husband's
star is the- 9ih or 18th or 27th counted
from that of the bride (if 27th star in the
same rasi). If they get married, they will
enjoy good health for a long number of
years.
Let us take a few examples :
A girl is born in Mrigasirisha star. The
boy's star is Rohini. Both have Moon in . sympathyHe may have to be miserly and without
.Taurus, Rishaba. The agreement is said
..to be excellent, for marriage. Let. us one's'nature.
work out the dasa. The girl has a balance
of 6 years of Mars dasa at birth; the boy
has 5 years of Moon dasa. Therefore
25
when the boy is 5 years old. Moon dasa
ends; Mars dasa commences. If another
year passes, he has enjoyed one year of
Mars Dasa and there will be 6 more years
of Mars dasa to run. Now his wife is
born with Mars Dasa balance of 6 years.
Therefore they will be running Eka-dasa.
How can it prove to be evil, when the 9th
star is considered to be the best and the
rasi is the same for both.
6 years- after the birth of the boy, the
girl is born. Though, for both, Moon is
in the same sign, all the other planets and
the Lagna are in different signs. Therefore
the results indicated by such plahets must
agreeing.
e.g. 1. The planet may show acquisition
of costly jewels to her. Should
not the husband's chart show
deterioration ofhjs bank position
to that extent?
2. The husband may need money.
Wife's jewels may be pledged.
A ctually wife loses her possessions
and the husband's bank position
improves.
3. The husband gets scholarship and
goes overseas for higher studies.
The wife remains at home.
Separation is common to both.
4. Wife is admitted in the maternity
home. The husband visits the
place, feels happy, distributes
sweets and arranges a party on
the day when his wife has given
--birth to a son. Pains to wife
and gains to husband will be the
result of the dasa, though the
name of the lord is the same.
A person may by nature be magnani-
mous. But by occupying a position, he
cannot show his nature. It is to be
modified. " He has to give up his natural
tendency and act according to the position.
he may have to execute orders.
Therefore
occupation modifies and changes
-
A person, by company gets improved or
spoiled. So also, the dasa lord by the
 conjunction of any other planet will give
different results.
Twins are born in the same lagna, with
the same position, of the planets and
dasa bhukti.
Do they not have the same dasa lord and
the same Gochara-Transit*results? They
do. But yet, are not the results different?
The name of the dasa lord is the same.
-Its lordship is the same. Its occupation
is also the same. Then, why so much of
difference in the results?
(Proper explanation,. convincing both
laymen and the scholars and veterans in
astrology will be .offered in subsequent
issues, when the editor Sri K. S. Krishna-
murthi publishes " Krishnamurli Paddha-
thi^forthe students to study, do further
research and with pleasure confirm .the
truth.)
26
Therefore this threat of Eka Dasa has no
meaning. For mostof the peoplej nothing
untoward had happened, . nor can it
happen. A few may suffer. It is not due
to Eka-Dasa, but because the lord of the
dasa is not beneficial for them.
Headers of this magazine need not take
into consideration any of the threatenings
of the astrologer, who rejects a horoscope
by - mentioning " Eka-Dasa or Dasa
Sandhi
Each horoscope has to be judged inde-
pendently. Whatever is found in the
chart will alone come to pass. By marrying
one having Eka-Dasa or Dasa Sandhi,
one will never alter the results indicated
by one's chart.

Characteristics:
Sun is the Lord of the sign, Leo-Simha.
Masefield says " The Sun still scatters out
his storeIt is true and the people
born in this sign are noble, large-hearted,
magnanimous and generous. Sun is neces-
sary for the life and the growth of both
the vegetable and animal kingdom. But,
whenever Sun becomes furious, it destroys
them. Darkness envelopes in the absence
of Sun ; when once Sun rises, none knows
where the darkness has gone. Therefore
the people born in this sign are helpful
to mankind and other creations of
God. Sun removes their darkness, igno-
rance and evil thoughts. It is said tbat
Sun represents the Government. Those
who have good aspect of Jupiter to Sun,
invariably are assisted by, protected by,
and saved by the Government. Saturn
forming evil aspect to Sun shows that
such persons will be hated by, chased by,
and punished by the Government. So,
either to lead a healthy and happy life or
to face difficulties and lead a miserable
life depends on the aspect to Sun and to
the Cusp of the ascendant Leo- Accor-
dingly, the characteristic of the person will
get modified.
Sun is the King of all the planets. It
is ' masculine. So the . Leonians have
dignity. They wjll'have great faith in. all
friends and relatives and confide everything
with them. They are capable of inspiring
affection and admiration and have their
purpose served by the willing co-operation
of their colleagues and subordinates.
Generally Leonians become the head of a
show, registrar, ruler, chairman, host,
hostess, managing director, administrator
28
and chief of any organisation and continue
for a long period. At the same time these
persons never'hesitate to issue an order or
ordinance to protect the interest of the
mass. They do not talk much. The
main characteristic is the habit of silence.
They leave all the talking to others. They
will hear very patiently all the complaints
even from the metiials and also pay heed
to every rumour. But their-judgment will
be wise. They have the large-minded
tolerance. They are endlessly energetic in
serving their people. , They will always
forgive and forget the mistakes, sins,
errors and deficiencies of others. They
desire to be honoured. But there is no
false prestige in them. They mingle with
people holding high offices and also
menials. Since they trust everybody,, it
is not unlikely that they are. cheated and
disappointed as they do not discriminate.
They live in a world of their own creation
apd nothing appears to be great for their
ideality.
Sun is worshipped during its transit from
one sign to the other, especially during the
time when lit passes the Vernal equinox, as
Vishu, or. New Years day etc.,when it
enters Cancer as Dakshinayana;when it
enters Libra as Thula montji and when it
passes on to Capricorn as Makara Sanka-
ranthi. Just as Sun needs the feasts and
sacrifices celebrated, in its honour, so also
the people born in Leo are pleased by the
praise of others. Anything can be had
through Leonians, if one honours him
and speaks high of him in bis presence.
Generally, Mercurians are the favourities
of the Leonians as they will not mind
adopting those measures which will please
them, and also mention that the Leonians
have organising powers and they are
constructive, inventive,-magnanimous and
ingenius. They will take advantage of
Leonians who are susceptible to flattery
which may tend to become an exaggerated
Ego. Therefore don't fall a victim to
flattery but correct yourself by remember-
ing the old adage that " He who has the
greatest authority seldom shows it."
As Leo is a fiery, and a fixed sign, it
olfers authority "and ambition, brilliance
and boasting, clever action and command-
 mg, dignity and domineering, energy and
enthusiasm, faith and fame, glory and
grace, hopes and honour, intellect and
inspiration, joy and jubilation, kindness
and kingliness, loyalty and leadership,
magnanimity and majesty, pomp and
pride, respect and royalty, stately and scru-
pulous, vitality and vigour, warmth and
zeal.
Leo being the 5th sign of the zodiac,-
there will be an inordinate zeal and.,
enthusiasm for sports and speculation-
One will be interested in the pleasurable
pursuits. ]n him, the higher emotions a^e
the main centre of activity. He may take
interest in music, opera, cinema, games, etc.
Leo being a fixed sign, the person may
be obstinate or indifferent as there will be
the firmness and fixity of purpose. He is
at his best only when there are handicaps
and obstacles. He has considerable will-
power to win his way to his entire satis-
faction. Having full faith and hope, he
can accomplish and achieve his aims by
persistent determination.
- Leonians are frank, open and just.
Their outbursts do not last long, just like
the extreme heat of the Sun. Leonians
are noble and lofty in character.- They
scorn the mean, sordid and puny actions.
Never will they stoop to do a low act even
when they get irritated or when there is
the strong urge of self-interest. They do
not hesitate to serve those whom they
love even if they have to forego their
comforts, convenience, etc. They will
sacrifice everything for their loyal and true
friends. They never do anything half-
heartedly.
As by nature they are authoritative and
commanding, they want to be at theheadof
things, boss over others and be a leader.
They dislike subordination.
They will help everybody voluntarily.' their
They will also donate or do charity when-
ever it appeals toihem. But they resent
such people who persistently ask for some-
thing. They do not, by nature, like those
who make any demand upon the Leonians.
Saturn forming good aspect with Sun or '"sid'ering the past and also the future. It is
the ascendant Leo avoids giving way to
29
fits of temper and over-exertion, so that
there is no ill-effect on the heart. They
will try and rise above any depression or
sorrow they may have. It will protect one
from committing mistakes and one will
not be dictatorial and overbearing. They
will guard against self-deception, -false
pride, hazardous speculations and any
trouble. They will never rub on the wrong
side or assert themselves at the wrongs
moment.'
If Mars afflicts Sun or the ascendant,
the nature of the person will be changed.
He will become bombastic, domineering
and blustering. He cannot be trusted in
any department of life. If he marries any-
body, he will prove to be unfaithful,
ambrous, disloyal, mean and short tem-
pered. Good aspect of Mars gives courage
and grand success. Aspect of Mars and
Saturn to Sun is very important. Adverse
aspects will offer ,bitterest experiences in
life. Remember ther brightest light will
always cast the deepest shadow.
Weakness to be corrected :
Generally Leonians do not consider both
sides of the question. To rely entirely
upon his own ideas will not prove- to be
aavantageous or correct. So to make the
plans successful, it is advisible to take
others' views, ideas and suggestions. It
is advisable not to be dogmatic and
obstinate.
Whenever the Leonians are crossed,
they become extrovert. Their emotions
will express themselves readily in external
actions and events. They will roar like a
lion and get into trouble especially during
the sub-period of that evil plauet which
afflicts Sun.
Do not forget that charity has to begin
at home. The generous urges will drain
purse and they will find it difficult to
have a reserve or a spare amount for their
personal use. Over-liberality, keeping one
ever in wants, is also not desirable. Sun
never retrogrades and retraces its steps.
It is ever in forward motion. So also
these people will go ahead, without con-
advisable to hold up one's desires and
 aims .if the environmental conditions are
restricted.
One should not be hasty and get irritated
before 'the persons whom he, had helped
to show their gratitude.
Avoid forcing conclusions at one's own
risk and never be arrogant.
Try to have an attractive home. Manage
to maintain' a comfortable-sized bank
position. Do not spend away all you
have and all you get
Advice for improvement:
Remember that big enterprises will_move
slowly. Don't be hasty. Take others'
advices. Consider both sides of a ques-
tion. Be patient. Proceed steadily. Don't
be carried away by others' flattery, as
flattery isthe food of fools. Guard
- against the subtle influence of flattery. Try
to be more detached in your feelings.
Don't try to dominate all the time as
others also will desire freedom. Don't
carry anything to an extreme. Though one
will be careful in dress, one should not be
a slave to the ever-changing fashion.
Health and disease: Genecally these
people should have a splendid constitu-
tion. Even if they fall ill, they tend to
recover rapidly from any illness. But they
are easily alarmed, whenever sickness
overtakes them.
Leo indicates the heart, the spinal
column, spinal marrow, nerves and fibre.
Leo influences the bone, dorsal vertebrae.
Inter-spinal muscles are controlled by
this sign.' Anterior as well as posterior
coronary, Aorta, Vena Cavae are ruled by
Leo.
Therefore heart disease, palpitation,
Spinal.jneningitis, .Syncope, locomotor
ataxia, etc., inflammations, sunstroke,"gid-
diness, pestilence are other disorders.
Epilepsy, rheumatic fevSr are the diseases
from which one may suffer, whenever the
ascendant,is afflicted by Mars and Saturn
respectively. As Aquarius 'opposes Leo-
Capricorn'is'the 6th sign counted from Leo-
malefics in Capricorn and Aquarius can
30
cause swelling in the ankle followed by
heart disease.
Jupiter in Leo will protect one from any
surgical aid If Mars afflicts, it will lead
to cardinal thrombosis or surgical, aid.
As Leo rules heart which is the vital
part of the body, temperate living is abso-
lutely necessary. One has to avoid drinks,
beverages, stimulants, etc. But one is to
take balanced diet. That is why our
ancients were very particular to have a
'Sathvic' diet.
Finance and fortune : Leo is symbolised
by the Lion which is the King of the ani-
mals. Therefore one's "natural instinct is
ever to seek for the highest position and
mostly, one has it rightfully. One will try
to deal with large issues. One will leave
the routine, monotonous drudgery and
minor details to subordinates.
One is by naturea spendthrift even when
poverty may threaten, him. One will be
able to face any hard times. Generally,
fortune favours Leonians when , they are
young. They will have sufficient resources.
Yet, because they spend lavishly, their
bank position will be deteriorating as age
advances. Leo being the 5th sign of the
Zodiac, one will be tempted to gamble and-
speculate. Luckily for them, their risks will
amply reward them. Speculators are very
liberal when they give gift to others. Nor
do they hesitate to lend financial assistance
to the needy. One will please himself with
the sweet smile of those to whom he pre-
sents costly ones. Also one will feel proud
when he thinks that others borrow from
him and approaches for favour.
Profession: Sun, the ruler of this sign
Leo, will influence in directing one's
choice of the profession. It favours high .
positions in commerce or Government.
As Leo is a fixed sign, one may have a
fixed income, security of service under the
Government, etc. It is the 5th Sign of the
Zodiac. So one earns through speculation,
^music., theatre, 'opera; being a. fiery ..sign,
one may be a jeweller, goldsmith or one
working in-precious metals. As this Sign
gives executive ability and tireless applica-
 tion to work, one will be fit to manage
great enterprises. Presidents, managers of
corporations, managing director of con-
cerns, officers, superintendents, directors,
captains, sales managers are born in Leo.
If Mars is favourable, it. makes one a
soldier, surgeon, chemist, dentist, barber,
butcher, worker in iron, copper and sharp
instrumentsMars and Leo favour the
Defence Department and warlike pursuits.
Mercury produces sales managers, share-
brokers, ambassadors, councillors, audi-
tors, engineers, architects, * etc. Jupiter
forming favourableaspect with Leo pro-
duces lawyers, judges, priests, bankers and
physicians.
Venus in Leo indicates those in the
administrative department of transport,
travels, food, agriculture and those who
deal in glass, cloth, silk, provisions and
luxurious articles.
Saturn favours mines, coal, wood,
estates, lead and plumber or menial posts.
Thus depending on the aspect received,
the nature of the profession is to bejudged.
Domestic environments: The health of
the native needs relaxation. Absolute
peace, harmony and happiness will keep
him cheerful. Just as a king will expect
his subjects to be submissive, and expect
always favours from him, so also the
Leonians will try to be the leader in the
house and expect all those at home to be '-fcly. He will never allow' anybody to dis-
co-operative, obedient and grateful. They
want the members of the family to have a
broad outlook, and to be magnanimous
and noble.
Leonians choose their good friends. They
entertain them often. They never hesi-
tate to spend money to maintain prestige
and honour. Even when the sandalwood is
pulverised and thrown into fire, it does not
lose its fragrance. So also, these people
will never think of economy, even when
they are driven to a state of poverty. They

. They will spend much on dress, screen

keep the home tidy with all the attractive
trimmings, decoration, etc.
If the male is born in one sign", but the
wife is born in Leo.thenitis a problem for
him to please her by supplying her dress,
jewels, etc. If he does not satisfy her, the
readers can guess his fate. His home will
be his Hell in this life. But if he is able
to meet her demands, then his home is his
Heaven.
Romance, Marriage and Married Life:
The person born in Leo is romantic. He
loves deeply and he will be carried away
by love. He cheers up the.partner most
skilfully like an actor in a comedy scene.
He is an ideal lover, as he will be fiery and
passionate. But he will never like any
demonstration of love, in public, as he
considers it below his dignity.
He will have-abundant charm and be
attractive to the opposite sex. It is but
natural that the partner is jealous as the
Leonian will be always in the midst of a
crowd of ladies. Therefore, the partner
should have proper understanding. She
should share his pleasure when he gives
plenty of parties to others arid has exciting
times with them. Unless he has Saturn,
Mars and Venus in the ascendant, or 5
or 7 or ll,.he need not mistake the Leonian
husband. ' If one understands him and
agrees with him, she will be liked, loved
and admired by the person born in Leo.
He will fit into domestic routine, admira-
respect his wife or any member of his
family. He is very proud of his family:
He wiK not tolerate any ill-repute. He is
always conscious of his social standing
and is chivalrous.
,As Leo is a fiery 'sign, partners born in
the same or the other two fiery signs, Aries
or Sagittarius or in any one of the three
airy signs, Gemini, Libra or Aquarius, will
suit well.
If one -links his fortune with another
born in Leo itself, it is advisable that both
other, so that there can
in theic; married life.. Aries
and Sagittarius born will contribute for fits'*
 Aquarius, Libra and Gemini, persons born
in Aquarius will be devoted to Leo
boras. Bride born in Libra will ever try
for company, avoid troubles, and purchase
jjeace at any price. One born in Gemini
will be very tactful and will never do any-
thing which the husband may hate. The
Geminian will be_.an inseparable partner
and she will be sincere and affectionate.
The Leo lady is ambitious and also
ideal. She will manage her home admira-
bly. At the same time, she is a successful
social worker. She can make favourable
impression on all. Her devotion both to
her home and to the general public, is
supreme. She wilj be offered prominent
position. She is a self-sacrificing lady
with everlasting love. She cannot expect
any good return from those to whom she
lends her assistance at the risk of her own
interests. A Leo bride marrying an Aries
husband is lucky, as she has a commandv
ing person so that she will know her
limits, and will not overstep in exercising
her authority or in spending lavishly. She
needs one to keep her under control, so
that she can appreciate her husband's good
nature, affection, kindness, and real love
to lead a pleasant, prosperous and peaceful
life. For, she will have pretty fixed
ideas, and she will feel that her word is
law, and will expect others to do only
those which she desires and considers
right.
Children: People, bom in Leo, love
their children most. They are very proud
of them. Generally their children will be
restless and may even be nervous. They
may start striking out for independence,
even when they arc very young. They
dislike^ restriction. Therefore, the Leo
born parents should let their children feel
that they rely on thcrh otherwise, they
will lose their confidence,^
Children born in Leo will try to lead
and boss over other children. They will
>be the captain of the team, while playing
any game. They will prove to be able
leaders, as they will have great vitality,
ambition and persistence. They are not
^mere figureheads but fine -organisers - inspi-
ring others. They will not be arrogant;
32
nor will they be carried away by their
own opinion. They will be popular be-
cause they do not desire to have honour
for themselves by appropriating what
others have done. They will be good-
natured, obliging and affectionate. They
have courage and confidence to crown
with success.
Handwriting: As the lord of Leo is
Sun who is round, full curves and regular _
circle mark the handwriting of the people
born in Leo. They will consume much
space and also give some flourishes to'the
words. They will write in straight and
regular lines, as the pathway of the Sun is
regular. Their letters will be upright and
vertical.
Lucky day: Sundays are good for taking
medicine, tonic, etc., to recoup health, to
undertake any. enterprise ; to meet the
High Officials ; to purchase those articles
governed by Sun.
Avoid .Mondays: Waste of money;
loss of prestige; secret inimical activities;
irritation. Don't do anything afresh on
Mondays.
Boldly do on Tuesdays; Grand success
even in competitive examination. Even if
you are weak, you can come out victorious
on Tuesdays. Good to purchase property,
car, etc., and to go on a long journey.
Try for luck on Wednesdays : Approach
bankers for overdraft: enter into con-
tracts: take up agencies ; sign your docu-
ments; register on ^Wednesdays; start
loving a bride or a boy.on a Wednesday
and you will be lucky. Lend money on
Thursdays', the borrower will have luck
shortly, so that he can return it in time.
Purchase costly ones to wife. Present
them on Thursday itself. Purchase land
and give to children or purchase car for'
them on Thursdays.
Fridays are auspicious for short journey,
transfer and promotion.
Avoid Saturdays : A day of deception
and fraud. .

 LORD OF LAGNA A YOGAKARAKA AND A MARAKA
By
Shri Dv, Subba Rao
MADRAS-33
Determination of longevity is a^hard
problem. This involves complicated
multiple workings to fix the period,'date
and time of occurrence. No doubt, a
. shrewd observation coupled with careful
study is indispensable; yet, the problem -
is such that it poses varied questions of
a conflicting nature in application of the
..established principles. -More sO is the
difficulty when the Lord of Lagna becomes ""
a Maraka. Having noted the different
opinions of several students on the subject,
I am now placing before the readers the
principles that deserve consideration in
determining the exact time of death,
Lords of 8, 3, I ; 2, 7, 12; and 6, 10, 11 -
are normally the death inflicting planets in
order and preference. Planets posited in
these houses are more poweTful to inflict
death than their lords. (Occupants are
stronger than owners.) Before proceeding
to determine the period, i.e., dasa of.the
.maraka of a native, it is imperative, to
know to which classification of longevity
the native belongs.
Longevity is divided into 4 parts - small,
medium, long and deergha, depending on
the span of life ranging from 1 to 32, 33
to 62, 63 to 82 and 83 to 120. Having
determined the class to which the native
belongs, the dasa of death should then be
decided. In this article, I propose to deal
with the medium type of longevity, which
is very important. Following are some of
the important factors that go to show
medium class of longevity ;
A. When
]. At last-one natural benefic is
posited in a trine and a natural
malefic is posited either in 3 or 6
or 11 houses,-
2. Jupiter is in 2 and a natural bene-
fic is either ip a trine or square,
3. Sun is in 11 and a natural benefic
is in a irine,
34
4. Either Jupiter or Venus is posited
in a square,
5. Natural benefics as lords of 8
and 11 are in 9 or 11,
6. Moon as lord of 8 is in 8 apd
either Saturn with Mercury, or
Sun with Saturn or Saturn with
Mars or Saturn with Venus or
Jupiter with Saturn or Saturn
with Rahu or Saturn with Kethu
are. in 11, so that Saturn' squares
and by its 10th aspect, aspects
Moon in 8,
7. Either Jupiter with Moon or
Venus with Moon or Mercury
with Moon or Sun with Jupiter
or.Suti with Venus are posited iq
squares (konas) and a natural
malefic in 3 or 6 or 11,
8. Mercury in 3 or 8 and Saturn and
Moon in 7 or 10,
9. Jupiter or Venus or Full Moon
in Kendra and Saturn in 3 or 6,
10. Jupiter or Venus or Mercury in
Lagna and Moon in trine,
11. Jupiter or Venus or Mercury in
11 and Saturn in 3 or 6,
12. ' Jupiter or Venus in Kendra and
Sun or Sun with Mercury in 3,
13. Lord of 11 in 10, Lord of 8 in
11, Lord of 8 and a natural
benefic in 11,
14. Sun in 11 and a natural benefic
in trine,
15. Jupiter or Mercury or Venus or
Full Moon or Moon free from
malefic conjunction in squares or
trines and a natural malefic in 3,
6 or 11,
16. Saturn in 3 and Jupiter in Kendra,
17. Natural benefics in Kendras and
Sun in 11,
18- Jupiter and Venus in trines,
 19. Jupiter or Venus of Full Moon
in Kendras and one of the three
in 11,
20. Moon in 11, Jupiter or Venus or
Mercury in Kendras or trities,
21. n&rd of lagna as neutral to Sun,
22. Lords of ] and 8 when one is-in
a movable rasi and the other in a
fixed sign or both in common
signs,
23. Lord of the lagna and the lord of
.the Moon sign are in a Kendra
and Jupiter posited in one of the
maraka places.
B; Following are someof the important
factors to determine the Maraka Dasa :
1. Malefics in 6 or 8 houses aspected
by their enemies, more so when -
these happen to be their own
bouses,
2. Dasa of Mars as 5th, Jupiter's as
6th, Saturn's as 4th, Rahu's as
7th,
3. Dasa of a debilitated planet
posited in an inimical house,
eclipsed and associated, with a
malefic who in turn happens to
be lord of bouses 3, 5 or 7,
4. Dasas of lords of 22 decante and
64th havamsa from Lagna and
Moon,
5. Dasa of the A.dhi satru of the
lord of 8 house,
6. Dasa of the lord of the decante
- of the Rasi at birth.
C. Guiding factors to determine the
period of death :
1. When Jupiter, in transit passes
through houses 3,- 5, 6 or 11
occupied by Saturn at birth and
when the said houses are not then
aspected by him and happen to
be maraka places in turn,
2. When Saturn transits the house
occupied by the lord of the
Decante of the 8 bhSva or when
he transits the navamsa of the
8th lord,
3. When Venus during transit is at
a distance of 150 degrees to
Moon or Lagna and is aspected
by Saturn,
4. When Jupiter transits 6 or 8
houses or a rasi in trines to
them,
5. When Sun posited in a movable
rasi at birth, happens to transit '
the dwadasamasa rasi originally
occupied by him or its trines,
6. When Moon transits the sign
occupied by Sun at birth,
7. When Moon transits the sign con-
taining the least number of benefic
dots in Saivasbtakavarga table,
8. Note the navamsa rasi occupied
by the' lord of B. When Sun
passes in transit through a sigh
owned by the lord of 8 or its
trines,
9. Add the longitudes of lords of 6,
8 and 12. Planet with the same
longitude in the sign indicated by
the addition is the death inflicting
one,
10. Convert the longitudes of. Sun
and Rahu into minutes and
multiply. Divide the.product-by
21600 an4 again by 12. Note
the remainder. When Sun tran-
sits this sign or its trines,
11. When Moon transits 2, 4, 5, 8, 9
or 12 houses from its natal
position in rasi or navamsa,
12. When Moon in transit passes.
through naidhana tara to his
natal star,
13. During the time jndicated by the '
sign occupied by the' maraka
lords transiting the raaraka
signs; specially so in the signs of
the lord of the maraka dasa when
another maraka transits the
maraka signs, death ' of the
native is sure to take place. ^

 ARE YOU RUNNING MOON PERIOD?
KNOW WHAT TO DO AND WHAT TO AVOID
Period:.. Moon runs its period for
exactly ten years. All the nine planets
have their sub-periods in the order given
below. Bach sub^period has its own
duration and the total period of' ten years
is not divided equally among the nine
planets. - . _ _
In Moon's major period or dasa :
Moon*s sub-period or Bhukthi or apa-
hara runs for ten months commencing
from the day when Sun dasa ends and
Moon dasa starts.
Mars sub-period otherwise called Bhukti
follows that of the Moon and it operates
..for seven months; Rahu's sub-period
runs for 1 year and six months; then,
lupiter's (Viyazhan, Guru or BrihaspathiV
Bhukti rules for 16 months. Saturn s
apahara is for nineteen months. Mercury
(or Budha) governs for seventeen months.
Kethu has only seven months, while
Venus rules for twenty - months. The
last sub-period is ruled by Sun Tor six
months and thus all the nine planets
cover the ten years, in the order mentioned
above.
Quintessence of the Moon period :
By Nature: - In infancy and youth, all
the responses to play, pleasure, pain, thirst
and hunger are attributed only to Moon.
In. adult age, they do continue but in a
more controlled form. It has a strong
bearing.on one's-emotion, behaviour, re- '
action and also personality. It does bring
about some changes: gives hopes^and one
can-.-be-both, happy and.also sorrowful
which will be frequently and altetnatively*
experienced. Occasionally, both feelings
will occur at the same moment.
17
Constitution . The native's constitution
- will, become weaker and weaker and he
may be suscqgv^^io infectious diseases.
Especially it'lias greater influence in the
woman's life, as Moon rules the periodi-
cal functions and shows either good or
indifferent health according to the connec-
tions. which Moon has, or the aspects
' which Moon receives. One may have
only minor ailment: but, due to his own
imagination, it will appear big. Tiis
mental strain, dreams, and astral experien-
ces, will tell upon his health. -In infancy,
it causes vomiting and poor digestion
followed by diarrhoea. In adult age, how-
ever strong he may be, it will lessen the
vitality and cajise deficiency of ..Vita-
min CB\ Though he may have rest from
active work, yet his mind will ever be
engaged and he will not feel alright, or he
will have actually some ailment or other
continuously.
MENTAJL: Moon Is said to be the
nearest magneVVC^lanet. During moon's
period, one will be amiable, courteous,
easy^ going, and receptive,- unlike the
previous period of Sun when he would
have been forceful with active emotions.
The sign in which Moon was at the time
of birth and the aspect which it receives
.have chief influence on his,mental
qualities.
If Moon had been occupying any of the
cardinal signsmovable or cbara signs-
Aries, Cancer, Libra or Capricorn, it indi-
cates an ambitious and active person' with
-aversion to ordinary .routine service The
will desire to be a pioneer or an organiser
and he wilTbe . able*, to make headway
against odds and obstacles. ' He' will'
always be planning to cut out a line in life
 tor himself. He will have independent
spirit.
Bui Moon in a fixed sign (stbira), i.e.,
Taurus, Leo, Scorpio or Aquarius, gives a
stubborn, rigid, unyielding and unbending
nature. He will be patient, steady, calm,
economical, dogmatic and obstinate. He
will be plodding;'persevering, thoughtful,
thrifty and reserved. He will care much
for discipline. He' will be a faithful
servant, a reliable friend and an unrelen-
ting foe. He will 'follow his own
principles, contract certain habits in life,
follow-them strictly and expect others also
to get into thai groove. \ persons, having Moon and Neptune con-
If Moon was in a common sign
(ubhaya), i.e., Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius
or Pisces, be will have a changeful nature.
He will have'no set purpose. He will be a
versatile and sublle person, often incons-
tant and imitative. He will yield to
other's advice or suggestions. and obey '
implicitly others' orders. He will be
quickly influenced by his sorroundings.
The society in which he moves will modify
his frame of mind. His nature will be -
-sensitive, his feeling acute and his character
.weak.
The Waxing moon with a good aspect
from benefics makes one buoyant, jubilant
and optimistic. He will ever be a 'Bull'
in the speculative share market.
The Waning moon with evil aspect from
malcfics shows that the person will be
wicked or cautious, gloomy, and pessi-
mistic. He will be successful as a 'Bear*
in the share market.
. Jdoon, receiving good aspect from the
Sun, gives a steady mind, a great liking to
- medicine or mechanical engineering; Mars
contributes for courage and a go-ahead
spirit.- Mercury shows that he will have
quick grasp, retentive power, reproductive
ability and research mind, a great liking
to mathematics and civil engineering.
Jupiter's beneficial aspect produces a free
antHrank mind. ' He will be true and - u
honest, dutiful and law abiding, jovial
and humane. Bad aspect of Jupiter to
Moon shows that ,he will care for false
prestige, will be a member of a charitable
18
instiiution without doing charity to the
deserved, will bejnclined to waste money
only when he-may command some respect
in a society or a club or in public life.
Saturn gives the desire for seclusion; it
gives a thoughtful mind and anxious dis-'
position. Rahu and Kcthu will cause
worries and bodily fears. Uranus confers
originality or eccentricity : he may be in-
clined to romance; he may be determined
and arrogant. Neptune contributes for
imitative faculty and taste for mystical
subjects. He may have mediumistic
powers. It is difficult to rely on such
joined together, especially in his
Ascendant.
Further, one born with Moon in the
fiery signs, Aries, Leo or Sagittarius will
have inspiration : if it is in earthy signs
Taurus, Virgo or Capricorn,, he will be
worldk/. If airy signs, Gemini, Libra and
Aquarius are occupied by Moon, the native
will be intelligent. But if watery signs
Cancer, Scorpio-and Pisces are occupied
by Moon, during Moon dasa, he will be
either psychic or emotional or both.
Mars and Saturn, forming evil aspect
with Moon in the fiery and masculine
signs, gives too much of independence. In
a woman's chart it causes unwoinanly
freedom. But Venus, forming adverse
aspect, will make one look untidy though
actually he will waste money on luxuries.
If it is in a lady's chart, she will have no
mind to put on costly dress or look bright
using the fragrant materials which are all
supplied to her by her husband. But,
whenever she is called, she will appear
with the spoon on hand, smoke on the
face, with uncombed stiff hair and with, a
big caste mark, threatening the partner,
as though " Badhra KaH-" suddenly gives
Darsan to him.
Thus tfcc mind of a native gets modified
by variou s reasons and therefore one has
to study thoroughly and give his opinion.
What can bneiexpect.? =.- .,
(a) If Moon receives favourable
aspect,
(b) if it is not afflicted,
 (c) if it owns a beneficial house,
(d) if it occupies ~ favourable con-
stellation, and
(e) if it is not weak in strength.
1. There will be peace and pleasure at
home. Happy celebrations, reunion,
followed by birth of children, visit to
relative's places and good health to all
ithe members of the family. Moon'contri-
butes for happiness.
2. He will appear before the public
and be popular; he will have many friends
and will create opportunities to come in
contact with the public, especially with*
youngsters and will command much respect
. from them. 1
3. He will try to hold public office and
undertake various honorary posts. He
-will have much support especially from
ladies.
4. Hewill.bc having.morc'and more
ambition (contentment is out of question)
and he will stick on to his own ideals and
expect his colleagues also to follow him.
5. Unusually he will take to drinks.
He will have the mind to deal in liquids,
and may get into service in water supply.
He may deal in mrlk or dairy farm pro-
ducts, kerosene, petrol, mercury, liquid
paraffin and such of those animate and
inanimate objects found in the tank, river
and sea may be dea]f~with by one during
Moon's periods.
6. His-service will be recognised and
his name will be suggested for promotion.
His employers will have high opjnion of
him and will be inclined towards the
person who runs beneficial Moon's period
and support him. Those who back him
up will be governed by Moon..
,'7. He will have satisfactory social
success and will enjoy much popularity.
Wltom to approach for success: Wait
for advertisement &nd promptly apply.
Approach, the employer through family
t
friends or through his' domestic-servants,
and those with whom he will be associa-
ting freely. Do not go personally. You
will not be able to satisfy him. You will
19
lack courage and confidence at the time
ofinterview. You can approach those
who deal in liquids or employed in Navy,
Port Trust, etc. Shipping agents will be
helpful. The mother, the nurse and the -
young chiiaim also will recommend and
contribute for your success. Sailors, sales-
men, frequent travellers, travelling agents,
female officials, receptionists and those
who run public conveyance may be. of
-help. So you hav&fcg, approach any of
these people. Thef vt^/help you because
they will be governed by'Moon; i.e., the
ruling .planet at the time of their' birth
will be Moon.
How to approach?
Naturally, you will be modest. You
will have pleasing manners. But, you will
be able to gain your objects through a
mediator. The higher official will be
sympathetic. He who recommends will be
tactful and win the favour of tl^e appoint-
ing' authority. If you are already em-
ployed, he will appeal to him that you)
are trying for a change, more for security
in service or for higher income.
Therefore, whatever is to be said and
done by you will be satisfactorily under-
taken and finished by the mediator.
(Moon has no, light of its own. It does
good to the living beings on earth by
taking light from ti . Sun and reflecting
it on to the earth, fou are the earth and
Moon is the mediator.)
If you approach personally, gradually
the employer will begin to mistake you, as
though you dictate to him. It will slowly ,
cause bad relationship.
If you'want to -fix up the.m'arriage of
your daughter with a. bridegroom, for
God's sake, if-you.run Moon's period,
don't approach directly. Arrange a diplo-
matic gentleman to mediate when it will he
well-settled. Otherwise, the alliance will
fall through as you yoursilf will quickly
drop it due td difference of opinion.
..Those people,..who will support you,
may be mostly born or'Mondays' br ih
Cancer sign or in Rohini or Hastham or
Sravanam. During Moon ilasa, Saturn
 sub-period, people born in Saturn's sign
Capricorn and Moon's star Sravanam will
mediate or it may be-one born in Saturn's
star Pashyam and in Moon's sign Cancer. ,
"During Moon dasa, Mercury sub-period,
Ashilesha star-governed by Mercury in
Moon's sign or Hastham star ruled by
Moon in Mercury's sign will influence and
fulfil your desire when you run Moon
dasa, Venus Bhukti. People born in
Rohici star, ruled by Moon in Venus sign
Taurus, will bring you success. If Jupiter
Bhukti runs, he or she who helps you
would have been bom in Punarvasu 4th
pada.
Thus one has to make a selectioiLamong.-
the friends whom you have to approach to
influence the authority. It may be that
you do not observe these before you
request one; but later, for academical
interest, if you study, the abovementioned*
indications will be very true.
How to act or what to do ?
Be frank. Be practical. Take all steps
to safeguard your interests. Before.taking
any-decision, consider your duties to the
members of your family, the comforts for
others at home and all family affairs. If
anybody suggests to you something which
you may be aware of already or which may
be absolutely hew to you, never reject it.
Consider well. Take the advice.
If Moon receives good aspect from
other planets, whomsoever you approach-,
their advice or influence or action will be
to your advantage; so you need not
exercise much caution.
But if Moon is afflicted by adverse
aspect, the advice may appear to be advan-
tageous to you, but it will prove to be,
harmful. The evil results will be experi-
enced on later dates. Mars' bad aspect
shows t-ha.t'you may have to incur heavy
expenses. Mercury suggests that he who
gives you bop?s will be a cheat, and not
straightforward and honest. Jupiterafflict-
ing Moon is incapable of benefiting you ;
fthe'convefrtion or the rifles to'be'followed
will be agamst your j'nterests.fjiough-the. -
person may make honest atQmpts and
speak truth. He will say that his'hands are
20
tied up and heishelpless. Venus, afflicting
Moon, threatens that any lady or any one
born on a Friday or in Bharani or Poor-
ram or Poorvashada star or in Taurus or
Libra Lagna or Rasi will do harm.
(Mandarai'sa ladymischief and Rama's
fate go to forest.) Saturn afflicting Moon
indicates that he whom you approach will
be funky, will utter falsehood, will tire you
out by allowing you to visit his place many
times and finally he will absent himself at
the time when his presence is needed:
What to avoid?
You have to avoid timidity and shyness.
But .be active. Gather courage. Make
attempts with confidence. Shed your fear.
Think twice before you act. Only Mar-
tians will act first, spealcnext and then
think.
Precautionary measures to maintain
goM health: Generally digestion will be
upsSt. For ladies, their monthly periods
will be unsteady. In old age, there will
be kidney and urinary troubles.
Moon, afflicted by - Sim, ^causes eye
trouble, and occasionally blindness also.
(Moon dasa Sun Bhukthi, eye-sight will
be lost.) If Mars afflicts, ,catamenial dis-
orders, epilepsy, violence in lunacy, colic
pain, "chicken pox (Saturn also afflicting 7
small pox because Saturn shows pustura-*
tion. In chicken pox generally no
pusturation. For small pox, there must be
pusturation.)
Mercury afflicting Moon indicates
paralysis, beriberi, apoplexy, worms,
intestinal troubles, dyspepsia. Jupiter
afflicting Moon causes' tumours, -and
dropsy. Venus forming bad aspect with
Moon causes throat trouble, diabetis,
troubles in ovaries, breasts etc. Saturn
shows asthma,-pleurisy, bronchitis," tuber-
culosis, dull liver, poor digestion, jaundice,
cough etc. Avoid chills. Henge, find out
which planet afflicts Moon. During Moon
dasa in the sub-period of the afflicting
planet one will suffer from, the ailment
indicated by the adverse relative position
of Moon and the'other planet."
Prevention is better than cure. Preven-
tive measures taken and immediate treat-
 ment given will reduce the virulence.
There will be modified reaction only.
Finance and Fortune: One can expect
financial gain through ladies. The income
will be varying, even, as Moon will be
waxing and waning.
In service, there will be temporary
promotion as well as reversion depending
on the sub-periods.
In business, during beneficial sub- -
periods, there will be spedy turnover and
larger profits, while during evil sub-
periods there will be neither satisfactory
business, nor the realisation of money that
is locked up. But the creditors will bring

If your lagna is Capricorn, Jupiter is
lord of 12. Therefore those, born with
Jupiter as their ruling planet,- will try to
bring you ill-repute, by carrying false
propaganda during your Jupiter's sub-
period. The person may not be born in
Sagittarius, or Pisces; nor in Punarvasu,
Visakam or Poorattadhi; not on a Thurs-
day ; it is enough if his lagna or lord of
Lagna is aspected by or conjoined with
Jupiter. Even though Jupiterians are
honest, dutiful, etc., they will be good to
those to whom Jupiter is a benefic and he
will act in such a way that Capricorn
people will avoid his society and call him
an unvli.^le person.
If your lagna is Kumbha - Aquarius,
your lord of Lagna is also lord of 12.
Hence your own actions will land you in
trouble.
For Meena Pisces, Saturnians - will do
both good and evil as Saturn owns the 11 th
and the 12th houses.
Thus you have to note and safeguard
your interests. People, who have done
enough of meritorious deeds in the previ-

astrologers, or knowingly or unknowingly
avoid such individuals. Better to consult
Prevention is preferred. ,
Business Partners: If Moon has any

I was getting ready to attend a Ifunction
in the town, I was about to start. My
young daughter appeared before me with
a sweet smile and began to fondle me. I
could easily anticipate that she would be
requiring something.
She enquired, " Daddy, are you going

" No, 1 am not going there now. A big

"Will you surely get me, daddy?"
" Certainly, if that is possible,"
" I/have my own doubts, daddy, you
may not".
"No, no, I will get you, come on, tell
me quickly what book you want."
" I want only one book. I don't want
anything else. Daddy. "
" Come on, it is getting late ".
" I want only a cheque book on this
bank"
"Wonderful girl, wait a minute. I know
that today it is vey auspicious to open a
bank. Let me find out whether it is also
auspicious to the customers. Yes, it is
gooddb _ ->u also. I shall surely open an
account in your name and also get a
cheque book for you ". So saying I took
cash to open an account and I got in a
cat and rushed to the bank.
I opened an account at the auspicious
time.
I returned home in the evening with her
cheque book and presented it to her.
The clever girl being a Mercurian, had
jher own curiosity..., She wanted.-to know
whether the (time) that was said to be
auspicious was beneficial to the bank or to
the customer, or to both.

In the above chart, neecba bhanga has
been secured by Saturn for the following
reasons;
1. Mars, lord of the house of debili-
tation, is in 10 to lagna.
32
2. Sun whose exaltation bouse is
that of Saturn's debilitation is in
9 to Moon.
3. Venus, lord of the bouseof exalta-
tion of Saturn is in 10 to Moon.
4. Venus, bis exaltation lord is in 10

5. Saturn is debilitated in the 3rd
house from lagna.
6. Mars, lord of the debilitation
house, is in his own house.
7. Debilitated Saturn aspects Lagna
(Jaimini aspect).
8. Saturn bad attained many auspi-
cious vargas ki shodasavarga.
Another issue where conflicting opinions
are Lild is whether ihe.planet that secured
neecba bhanga or the planet that is respon-
yoga karaka. Undoubtedly the planet that
secured neecba bhanga is the one that
confers rajayoga. The planet that is
responsible for causing neecba bhanga is
the next in order and rajayoga results in
the dasa of the planet that is responsible
for causing neecha bhanga and in the antara
of the planet lha t secured neecha bhanga.
A debilitated, planet, normally in its dasa
and antaras, indicates meanness, helpless-,
ness, lack of confidence, fear, cruelty,
obstructions and obstacles, incompetence
and inefficiency. The results of the kara-
katwa of the planet and its bfaavadbipatya
arenaturally adversely affected. There is a
doubt whether the debilitated planet in the
6th bouse attaining neecba bhanga confers
rajayoga. No doubt rajayoga is conferred
butithe evil nature of the debilitated planet
persists. A planet that secures cancellation
8th or If houses confers benefic results.
When the lord of the debilitation house
happens to be a benefic by bis position
cither from Moon or Lagna, he confers
good results.- Planets securing cancellation
of their debility in 2 or 3 bhavas. shed
their malefic nature.

cancellation of debility to Moon; while
the planet that is responsible to get Saturn
free from debilitation was in 10th to Moon
(Venus). Mars position is clear. Thus
Moon and Saturn are rendered very strong.
In the second horoscope the native was
not running the neecha bhanga graha
dasa. No doubt it was the time of the
yoga karaka related to neecha bhanga
Moon whose bhukti he was running. How-
ever, this position is obviously inferior to
that of the position in the above horo-
scope.
In case Venus antara of his own dasa is
to be fruitful, it goes without saying that .
the rest of the dasa would be useless, as
Venus was in aslesha at the time of birth.
Hence he should not do any good in his
own antara. However the inherent strength
35
of Venus and Moon prevaited to a great
extent and till 17th February, 1962, it was
said to be almost certain that he would
win the election. It is no surprise that he
lost by a narrow margin to one with
better and powerful raja yoga during the
period, as predicted by the author of the
article who advised him not to contest
and waste his precious funds. His defeat
after heavy expenses is a writing on the
wall.
A comparative study of the two horo-
scopes reveal very many inter6sting
aspects, but as it is not relevant to the
subject under discussion, I refrain from
getting into those details. The salient
features and the strength of the planet
that attained neecha bhanga raja yoga
have been brought out in detail to
establish that such planets are sure to tide
over any obstacles and confer raja yoga of
the highest order specially when such
neecha bhanga occurs in the tenth bhava.

 VIRGO-KANNI
By
ARUDIIRA
(Modern Astronomical and Astrological Research Institute,
13. Brahmin Street. Saidapct. Madras-lS.)
Virgo is the 6th sign of the Zodiac,
(The arst sign is AriesMesha; the second
is Taurus-Rishaba; the third is Gemini
Mithuna; the fourth is CancerKataka; the
fifth is LeoSimha ; the sixth is Virgo
Kanni and so on.)
This^Sign is also 30 in Longitude,
and it extends from the 150th degree from
Vernal Equinox (Aries-Mesha 0 degree) to
the I80th degree.
Uthirapalguni second, third and the
fourth padas, Hasthara and Chithrai first
and the second padas are contained in
this sign, Virgo (Kanni).
According to Sayana system, nowadays,
the Sun enters" the sign Virgo (the Virgin)
approximately on the 22nd August, and
passes through the sign for over 30 days,
and leaves it on 22nd September. If the
date of birth of a person falls within these
dates, he is called a Virgo an, according to
Sayana system. Sun moves just less than
a degree a day in this sign. Therefore, the
date of birth will indicate the approximate
degree occupied by Sun in this sign at the
time of one's birth. For example, if one
was born on 25th August any year, the
Sun will be in the 3rd degree in Virgo
according to Sayana system. If the birth
would be on 20th September, the Sun will
be marked at 28 degrees Virgo.
According to Nirayana system. Sun will
throughout Kaliyuga, enter into Virgo-
Kanni, on 17th September and after tran-
itin g the two and a quarter stars (naksha-
thTas of cOflStellatioflSj"" fbuhd indhis sigq^
will pass on to the next sign LlBRA-
THULAM on 16th October. All those
who are born between these dates will have
their Sun marked in Virgo (Kanni),
according to Nirayana system.
3
Therefore, according to Sayana system,
people born between 22nd August and
22nd September, will have the Sun in
Virgo, whereas, according to Nirayana
system, people born between 17th Septem-
ber and 16th October any year will have
their Sun in VirgoKanni.
Virgo is the sixth sign of the Zodiac,
whereas it is the second sign of the Zodiac
ruled by Mercury ; also the second earthy
sign. Just like the first sign of Mercury,
Gemini is a common sign, and so also this
sign, Virgo, is another common sign. It is
a negative, -feminine, barren, cold, dry,
nocturnal and northern sign, and it is of
long ascension.
Mercury is not only the ruler of this
sign, but he gets exalted here. Venus,
though a good friend of Mercury, gets
debilitated in Virgo. WheneverSun, Moon,
Mars and Jupiter occupy this sign, they
are said to be in enemy's camp. Saturn
alone is in friend's quarters when it is in
Virgo.
Mercury's exaltation in this sign and
Venus' debilitation here confirm that Mer-
curians prefer wisdom to wealth. Goddess
Lakshmi and Goddess Saraswatbi do not
live together in one place. , Both cannot
co-exist- Spiritual wealth and knowledge
which Saraswatbi bestows on us, is in-
exhaustible, and no dacoit can rob it. The
possessor never becomes a bankrupt. It is
ever full and, if at all, it improves. This
wisdom leads one to immortality, whereas
material wealth may lead to immorality.
^ir^'"'istraditionally symbolised as...
Virgin-Mary. In the ancient Zodiac, it was
symbolised as a Virgin, lying prostrate; in
one of her hands, she holds Spica-seed-
wheat and in the other a stem of a tree.
 The capital of France still retains its name
of Paris (Paras-Isisunder the protection of
Isis-Virgo). Its great Cathedral bears the
name NOTRE DAME(Our Lady).
Leo French says "Light dawns on
chaos, whenever a son of Mercury is born.
He should be cherished and forfended
from any materialising or coarsening
influence, so far as possible, during child-
hood. The Virgo child shares this sensi-
tiveness, though the expression thereof is
somewhat different, the earthy element of
Virgo, giving the native reserve and diffi-
dence, whereas the aerial essence of Gemini
in its true, pristine birth nature is free
from the curse of matter, self-conscious-
ness. Gemini is timid and elusive,
evasive in decadence, Virgo is shy and
self-consciousMercury swathed in swad-
dling-clothes of earth.
Gemini will deceive if terrorised.' Virgo
closes its petals and appears blind and
dumb, awaiting the touch of Gold or
Silver light, that opens the flower, drawing
it up to the light-sacred nourishment of
the soul away from the earth, Virgo's
place of exile, though often loved as a
second home to enlightened Virgo infant
egos."
Even though: Mercury may occupy its
own sign, yet so different is Virgo from
the other sign, Gemini, and so different is
its effect on everything with which it comes
in contact, that the casual astrological
observer would not recognise the planet as
the same Budha-Mercury.
Physical Features: The native will be
tall with a slender body. He or she will
have dark hair and eyes. The eyebrows
will be curved with much of hair growth.
The voice will be thin and even shrill.
Ever they will walk quickly, and never
they have pot-belly. ^ dissect and go deep into the matter. If

the eyebrows will be pronounced. The
expression of their eyes will be honest and
frank. Among the Westerners, most of
the Virgo-borns will have beautiful blue
eyes. (Venus is therulerof the second sign.)
4
Characteristics: Virgo is ruled by in-"
constant Mercury. So change is always
desired. Most of you are for ever chang-.
ing your residence, or your jobs. Of all
.the people bom in the 12 signs of the
Zodiac, you, the Virgoan are very con-
scientious and very capable of handling
even unfavourable conditions. You will
mark time and get prepared to handle it
wisely. You have the commercial instinct
well-ingrained. Ydu will be very brisk -n
and very quick in your work, just like the tl
fast moving planet Mercury. You will be -3
expecting others to be brief in their
statements and representation. You will '3
expect others to be businesslike. But
when once you begin to talk or explain,
you pay your attention upon the details of
things. You add such wealth of detail
which will make others feel boring and
vexed. You will rarely come to the point
quickly. If you are a drawing-master,
you will include it in all the conceivable
details.
There is nothing haphazard and ^_per-
ficial about you. You are thorough and
methodical. Your first thought and
action will be most sensible and rational.
You are practical and discriminative.
You may be careful but you are severely
critical. Self-pity is one of your vices.
You will beat your best if you are an
Inspector or Auditororlncome-Tax officer
or examiner as you are very good and
quick at finding fault with others. You
are capable of picking on weak spots in
the techniques of others. If you are
having Mercury weak in your horoscope,
you are prone to dissatisfaction and if the
task is a difficult one, you will give it up
in despair. But if your Mercury is
strong, you will go-a-head, and try to do
perfectly whatever you undertake. You
will be a genius. You will analyse,
you are given a machine, youl i , will break,v
it down ^in tbrit5"'corffpo iic'n t ' part^"f5"seS '" "
how it functions and you have also the
ability to reasseinblc.it and allow it to
run.
Being an earthy sign, you will have the
desire to save money. You will be
prudent and always will keep a small sum
 of Dlbtiey ttml none is aware of. If yod
iravel, you will keep a part of your cash
an one pocket, something in:the other, and
safely some more amount, with the idea
[of not spending it, in your suit case.
You will be so over-careful that you
. will not mind to reopen the cover written
. by you, just before posting it. You will
" verify once, twice and even thrice before
you finish a work. Thus, you will avoid
mistakes.
If you have to consult a doctor, you
willsit down for hours, write a big history-
shiet about your constitution to the last
detail, try to recollect your old complaints,
and present a big file to the doctor, even
though actually your complaint is very
simple.
You are remarkable for keeping every-
thing in its place properly and orderly.
You will maintain accounts and the day-
book with all details. You will keep
personal files and all documents in perfect
condition. Unfortunately, your subordi-
nates or servants at home will not be born
in Virgo and will not equally brisk
and brilliant. So to the extent to. which
you expect them, they can never keep up
and satisfy you.
Virgo, being a feminine and earthy sign,
you will take delight in horticulture,
agriculture, gardening, etc. It is said
that Virgo, Cares (Demeter) is the goddess
of agriculture and of legislation and
social order.
You are governed much by intellect as
Mercury gets exalted here. You will not
be sympathetic, as Venus gets debilitated
in this sign. Who? But you may be
cynical and sceptical of those who are
not scientifically demonstrable like the
Science of Astrology.
Saturn,Aasp^cting Virgo, will make you
lazy, and fond oPtakiMg" things- easy. ^
But you derive pleasure in driving others
and be very masterful with subordinates.
If you think for a minute, you will realise
that such actions invariably cause enmities
of a lasting nature. If you correct
yourself, and try to make good friendship
with them, you will treat them well, and
2
you will also be reciprocally respected by
them. Being a common sign, there will
be changes in your environments, and you
will form new associations and friendship.
Mercury shows that you will be fond of
studying science, and particularly about
medicine, food, diet, hygiene, etc., being
the sixth sign of the Zodiac. Mercury as
lord of the 6th sign, called the hospital
of the Zodiac, indicates that if ever you
fall ill, you lack the will-power and will
often brood over the disease, imagine
too much, never cheer y /urself up, to get
you out of the clutcbe* of your illness.
Thus, you will be ruining your health.
Further, you will always look for sympathy.
But at the time when you are healthy, if
anybody falls ill, you will prove to be a
veiy good nurse.
Neptune in Virgo gives a scheming
mind. No one can know one's character
thoroughly. One may be a deceptive
individual and be interested in illicit
pleasure. Neptune in the exact cusp
produces thieves, cunning, and most
diplomatic scoundrels. Uranus in Virgo
Ascendant, makes one clever, learned and
versatile. You may be employed as a
teacher or a writer, or a superintendent,
or an excise officer.
Uranus always offers a research mind.
Virgo gives analytical nature. Hence,
many research scholars are born in Virgo,
having good aspect with Uranus. Great
musicians, statisticians, journalists, and
scientists are also born under such
favourable positions.
If Saturn were to be in your Ascendant
in Virgo, your disposition will be
melancholic. You will be slow to get
irritated, but you retain the anger for a
long period. You will be studious,
reserved and determined. You are
painstaking, and you will become a
scholar. Whenever you read a newspaper,
you will, first of all, see- only .the.
" obituary " column as Saturn is the chief"
governor for longivity; also if your
relatives or friends come to your place
after a long interval, you will furnish tbem
with a list of those who passed away in
their absence.
 Jupiter, occupying Virgo Ascendanl at
the time of your birth, offers you ambition
for higher studies. You will find pleasure
in self-boasting. In your profession, you
will be popular and clever. You will be
able to handle any situation peacefully
and satisfactorily. People who are
successful professors, printers, publishers,
lawyers, agriculturists, auditors, gardeners,
and civil engineers are born with Jupiter
in the Ascendant Virgo. They will be
level-headed and calm. Late marriage is
also indicated by Jupiter in the Ascendant,
Virgo-Kanni.
Mars in this sign, in the Ascendant,
offers hasty disposition. You will be
proud and headstrong. You may be
energetic and capable, but not affable.
You will be very busy always, and you
expect your servants to be equally active
and intelligent. You will not mind
passing caustic remarks, and easily
offending the servants. Due to your rash
action, you may meet with accidents or
pick up quarrels, or get involved in any
litigation.
Sun in Virgo, i.e., people born when
Sun was rising in the east in the sign
Virgo, will be ingenious and not ambitious.
They will be self-centered. They are very
severe with all those who act against their
interest. If you have Sun in such a
position, you will have the desire to be
singing, or having pleasant recreations
which will keep you ever cheerful. You
will be modest, thoughtful and serious.
You will be industrious and keen on
acquiring knowledge. You are a good
reasoner. You will have a good command
of language. You have endurance and,
though short-tempered, you will avoid
litigation and quarrel. You will prefer
arbitration. You will love order, art and
literature. Even if- you have to face
difficulties, you will not be discouraged;
you will handle the situation properly, and
r,'. rgeh over 11 h e mj%yybur- oWn efforts. You
will have good fore-thought ; therefore
you are cautious and careful. You may
have the desire to have wealth, but the
pity is that you cannot acquire wealth
easily. You may be interested%in hygiene
and serve in the Public Heallhi^Depart-
.6
ihent as Jleaith Officer or Sanitary
Inspector, or Health Visitor, etc.
Venus in Virgo (Ascendant at the time
of birth) offers ingenuity. You will be a;
good, speaker. But Venus is unfortunate
in one's undertakings. The disposition
will be subtle and cunning. One can take
care of one's own interests. If Venus1
receives good aspects, one will take specie *
care to dress properly, whereas, when,,
afflicted, he will be careless even about
his dress and appearance. Venus endows
you with a quiet nature, and deep
sympathy. There may be delay, and
disappointment in love affairs; At least,
you will find your partner, always dis-
agreeing with you, especially when Venus
is afflicted. If you say that the Sun rises in
the east, she will disagree, and argue that
it rises so me months in the south, and some
months in the nor ih. She will have the
mind to say " NO ", when you mention
" Yes " to a question. Therefore, if you
want to be successful, you have to act
wisely. Suppose you have the desire to
send your children .to the cinema or ciwus,
never mention to your wife that you have
no objection to send them. But you tell
your children confidentially, "I will simply
argue as though going to cinema is not
advisable, etc." then, the mother will
interfere and say "No, No, you must send
them. When are they to enjoy ? They
must go You, my children, know that
I am ever approving of your suggestions,
and am always trying to please you all. You
also know that your motherwill invariably
act against what I say Thus, whenever
a thing is to be done, simply show that
you are not favourably inclined ; then you
can fulfil your desire. A person,.having
Jupiter forming good aspect with Venus,
will conduct himself as mentioned above.

Mercury in Virgo offers ambition which

Mercurians are in general like that, and

by Mercury. It offers taste for mathe-
matics, accounts, auditing, engineering,
hygiene, prophylactics, first aid, nursing,
and chemistry.
Moon in Virgo in the Ascendant, makes
one ingenious. He may be both clever
and cunning. He will have good mental
ability, quick reception, strong memory,
and very good reproductive ability. He
will be capable of following any intellec-
tual pursuit. There will be the desire to
learn science in general and things occult.
He may try to have success in clairvoyance
and in intuitive faculty. He will be quiet

will earn his way through his ability. He
Will have fertile imagination, a liking to

here, has secret sorrows through marriage.
He is always precise in ideas, and neat and
orderly in method. He will be a good and
trustworthy servant, and will have larger

Thus, the planet occupying tbis sign,
modifies the disposition, the desire and
the characteristics of the native.
Characteristics to be corrected : The
native's nature is to be very chatty.
will be very analytical, and in
conversation, will give lengthy descrip-
tion, including all meticulous details which
will be boring to others. He will be
till he passes his remark, and pass
criticism on others' faults, and idiosyn-
crasies. Even the members of his family
will not relish, or appreciate his comments
and criticism. He will have to avoid too
much analysis over even minor things.
He should not have nervousness and self-
doubt. Even though he may be intelligent
and have quick perception, he will really
need steadiness in going after what we
want. He should avoid as much as
possible, his changeability, when alone he
can achieve the cherished goal. He should
not proceed to another work, unless the
earlier one is completed. He should not
ask for everyone's advice about a situation,
and get so confusedj and uncertain that
finally nothing is accomplished. He is
himself a good jud^e, and an intelligent
person. Why he should seek other's
advice, is not known. Especially, when he
consults a doctor or an astrologer, he
should pin his faith on one, and take his
advice. If he consults many, he will be
confused. He should stick always to
a single person's advice which will be the
best. So, he should make the selection
of the person whom he intends to consult.
He should develop true consistency of
purpo.se. He should learn to forget other's
mistakes and forgive them for their faults.
He should not have long-sustained resent-
ment.
Health : You are normally- a tempe-
rate person. You live sensibly. So you
enjoy robust health with long life and
you will be very active, and will appear
Also, you are alwa'ys very^Srticular about . _
your diet Hence, you do not fall ill
often. But, planets, afflicting your Ascen-
dant, will cause digestive and intestinal
troubles. Generally, people, having male-
 fics in Virgo, suffer from ' dysentery,
typhoid, and sprue during their periods.
Malefics in Virgo suggest that you need
plenty of rest and calm surroundings.
You must have lots of exercise, especially
when your Ascendant is afflicted. Your
weak points physically are your nervous
system and your stomach. Both are
sensitive. Hence, if you include much of
Vitamin B in your diet, you can avoid
these troubles, have regular meals. Also
try to have balanced diet. Illness may be
very minor. But, by your imagination, you
exaggerate it and make yourself unhappy.
As Virgo-bornsihave Saturn as lord of 6 and
Mars as lord of 8, it is observed that they
will have minor injuries very often, and it
is likely that they meet with accidents.
Hence, do not be rash. Be cautious and
careful.
As Virgo indicates abdomen and bowels,
and as it is ruled by Mercury which has
influence over the nervous system, dis-
orders of the bowels react on the mental
condition. Further, disturbed mental
status, business as well as domestic
worries reflect'adversely on the bowels.
Hypochondria is indicated by this sign.
The functions of Virgo are absorption,
assimilation, selection and utilisation. Its
action is Chylifactive. Vegetarian diet,
well-proportioned, is preferred. Avoid
worries, discontentment, irritability, and
short temper. Normally, you will have
few temptations for excess. 'High living,
and deep drinking are also to be avoided.
Be on guard against gall-stones. Avoid
alcohol. But you will always remember
"An apple a day, will keep the doctor
away".
Finance and Profession: As you
possess a sound commercial instinct, you
are normally careful about your money.
You have the great desire to become rich
and hence, you are very conscious about
the value of money. You do not usually
come by fortune and much pf wealth.
^YoU^lIFVroVIrEiilf^an'd'ttfe'fimiineration

Saturn. Investments also will not prove to
be good, as the returns will be poor.
You may have many ups and downs. It
S
is only through your own talent and hard
work, that /ou will be able to come to
the top.
Sun, forming good aspect with lord of 2
or 6 or 10 in Virgo, indicates that you
may be a successful medical officer. You
may work in the Medical or Public Health
department. Also, you can get into
Government service in Engineering
Auditing, Teaching, etc. Mars also,
forming good aspect, denotes that one can
have his or her own nursing home, or deal
in scientific instruments, appliances, etc.
Moon, forming good aspect with lord of
2 or 6 or 10 in Virgo, shows that one may
be employed in the Engineering or
Accounts department, in Shipping, Port
Trust or Navy, or in those concerns
dealing in liquids, like petrol, mercury etc.
Also it is shown that one may be serving in
the Textile department. Inks, inkstands,
pens may be manufactured.
Mars, forming good aspects wtuT'lord
of 2 or 6 or 10, suggests that you may
interest yourself in the Press, printing,
editing, publishing, writing, or serve
as a clerk in any industry or in the Defence
department; be a surgeon or independent
auditor or one working in the Military
accounts, or be a mechanical engineer or
a military engineer. It is also likely that
you may serve in the expansion of plants
for steel, fertiliser, agricultural implements,
etc. If Mars is also afflicted, one will
amass wealth by black-market - or by
committing theft or robbery.
A warning to such people is necessary.
A few of your servants may have veno-
mous tongue, and be doing propaganda of
false libels. Somehow, they will manage
to have confidential information from their
friends in their unguarded moments, and be
going on exploiting the friends who have
to give money, simply to please such un-

on buildings, you will be able to purchase

property will shoot up during the- period
of Jupiter. But Saturn, being the lord of
" the 5th and 6th houses, and Mars the lord
of the 8th house, they show that there may
be losses in investments during the joint
periods of Saturn and Mars. It'is advisable
for Virgoans to dispose their holdings

Jupiter is not only 1 ofd of 4th but also - love,

you will have a peaceful and pleasant
domestic life.
Friends and benefactors: Youhaveyour-
own peculiarities. You prefer only intelli-
gent people who have a good future. You
will have a great mind to offer yoiif assist-
ance only to them. The defect ih you is
that .yoii expect them to say "Thanks,"
before you actually render your help, and
also gain a " Thanks after.you have done
it. You expect them to mention in many
words that they want and appreciate
your friendship. Normally, you do not
mix with all people. You make yourchoice.
You feel delicate to approach strangers for
any help you need. You want friends and
you cannot do anything for them with
pleasure, unless they recognise, approve
and appreciate. You need friends more for
this purpose. Just as you have the desire to
change residence, etc., so also you will
form friendship with new persons, 11th

ruled by Moon which is also inconstant.

Romance and marriage: You have your
own ideals. To find one suiting to your
taste is difficult- Therefore, there will be
long delay in choosing one to measure up
10
toyOurld^I, as everything must be perfect-
as far as you are concerned. It is likely
that," in the first few cases, you will t)e dis-
appointed. Whenever you desire to.make
a selection, you attach more value to intel-
ligence than to the pleasure in romance.
Further, you are often shy, and do not
demonstrate your affection. You should
not be so touchy. For happy life with wife,
to some extent, you should give expression
to your affection. You should remember
that lovedemands good understanding, and
rament is to find fault with others. That,
you must_g}ve up. Just as you expect others
to appreciate your assistance or intelligence
so also, whether the person, whom you
is equally intelligent or riot, you have
simply admire her beauty (even though
she is not very fair) iud'her company and
give expression to it. Virgoans are "'.rely
passionate. By conversation, at least, uiey
should keep the partner cheerful, and also
get such books for her to read.
A male born in Virgo will Jead the
married life, more on partnership basis, as
though it is a business or as a part of the
social scheme. That is why many people,
born in Virgo, postpone their time of
marriage, and-prefer to be a bachelor for a
long time. Your desire is more to be
studious, and to be doing research work
in a peaceful atmosphere. But, when once
you get married,youmake all provision for
your wife, arid the other members of your
family. It is likely that you may be often
complaining about your health which you
should avoid. As Mercury rules this sign,
you have a nervous active, manner... You
will consider the nervous tensions as actual
symptoms of some illness, and you not
only worry within yourself, but cause more
worry to your partner and others. Luckily,
the partner's rultng planet will be Venus,
lord of 2, or Jupiter, lord of the 7th house,
fertile imagination to the partner, she will
be able to understand you properly, and
conduct herself wisely, giving always
encouragement to. you, whenever you need
it. It is the good nature of your wife, i.e.,
adjustability, accommodation add good -
 understanding that will be responsible for
our happy life with such a dutiful wife.
Virgo-boras will be' peevish and occa-
r'sibnally mean; they are.so thrifty that their
husbands will become economical within
a few years after marriage. Her idea of
marriage is legal partnership, and that
she should live in'a business-like way. She
will run the home in a very regulated
routine manner, without herself wasting
anything, nor allowing others to waste, Or
be extravagant. She will attend to her
duties-quickly and most satisfactorily. But,
she will not be able to please her husband
in spiritual life, or in keeping pleasant
company. She will cling to the. idea that
sex is mean, base and one day or other
troublesome, A clever partner has to
change her frame of mind, and should not
mistake her. J-
Children : People bom in Virgo will
have limited number of children, 'as the
5th house is ruled by Saturn. Also, they may
have to spend much upon them for their
studies, etc., necessitating the Virgoans to
borrow, as lord of 5 is also lord of 6. -It
is also indicated that the Virgo people may
borrow, and invest on landed properties
which will be later enjoyed by their chil-
dren. Even though you may not show your
affection to them, yet you will never fail in
your duty to train them, give proper - edu-
cation, and make them fit enough to hold
any post admirably in their official career-
Among your children, the eldest will be
plodding, persevering, patiently working
and prospering, whereas the second and the
third children will be maintaining good
health, and enjoying fortune, with less of
efforts.
Handwriting: Virgoans are governed
by strong Mercury, So you may write in
between two lines, i.e.-, above the line.
You will develop the upper paris of the
-"ntttmr^The dines,vyritte^ .by..you will be

You always use sharp pointed nibs, and
. hence, your writing will be thin. You db
not wa-ste ink by putting loops, etc. You
avoid under-lining your signature, more to
save time. If at all ^ou underline, Mercury,
lord of the sign, shows ,that you will do
it twice.
Lucky day: Your ruling planet is
Mercury. He owns both the Ascendant and
also the most powerful, effective, and
successful/iou.se, the 10th,i.e., the meridian.
Therefore, Wednesday, governed by Mer-
cury will be the most lucky day for you, ,
Even though Venus gets debilitated in this
sign, yet as she rules-the second and the
ninth houses, Bagya Sthana, Fridays will
bring fbrtune. Mars, ruling the third and.
the eighth houses, indicates that Tuesdays
are inauspicious, especially for speculation,
betting, short travels, or correspon-
dence, and for signing-any important
document. Saturdays are not beneficial, as
it threatens. with delay, denial, and
disappointment. Sundays-will end in a Joss.
Mondays are good to meet friends, make
new friendship, bet, speculate and ever gain.
Thursdays are favourable to invest, to buy
cars, etc. also to commence romance, or
start family and life with wife in new
quarters. It is also very good to form
partnership in business and expand your
enterprise.
Lucky colour: Green, white and
yellow.
Avoid red and bluei You will find that
you put on red and blue only, when your
health fails, and when you meet with minor
^injuries and facedifficultics. The moment
you give them up," there will be no more
evil. Putting.on white ones, shows fortune;
green ones and emerald,. promotion in
official life, and also prosperity in business.
Yellow ones are good for happy domestic
environments.

Jupiter, transiting in the constellation,

 results to yoii, as Ashlesha is ruled by Mef- '
cury, thejord of I and 10 and it is in the
Iltb bouse which promises pleasure,
profit, permanent tie of friendship, and
fulfilment of your cherished desires.

Whom to pray : Lord Vishnu, Rama,
Goddess Lakshmi. Virgin Mary. As Saturn
is the lord of 6 and Mars is the lord of 8,
you will find that it is not possible to have
a programme, and, without disturbance,
you will not be able to stick to it or finish it.
Therefore, avoid reading for hours, or
meditating for a long time. Read short
stbotbrams, and concentrate for a short
time, when you will enjoy peace and pros-
perity.
 SATURN'S TRANSIT AND ITS RESULTS
FOR THE YEAR 1964
On 26th January, Saturn passed on
to Aquarius and up to 23rd March, it
moves in direct m'otion in the Nakshathra
Dbanishta; then it transits irt the same
direction in Sathabbisha star ruled by
Ralmthe Ascending node till 15th June,
1964. On 15664, it commences to re-
trograde, and-till 17th September, 1964, it
is in Sathabhisha. From I8tb September,
Saturn, by retrograde motion, transits in
Dhanishta, governed by Mars in the same
sign AquariusKumbha. On 2nd" Novem-
ber, it takes a direct course, and through-
out the year, it is in Dhanishta.
Saturn is not 'the only planet which indi-
cates what a person can expect in 1964.
Every planet contributes to certain events
in one's life according to (1) its lordship,
(2) the position which it occupied at the
time of one's birth, (3) the houses owned
by the planet, (4) the house transited by
the planet, (5) the various aspects it forms
with the other planets, with its radical
position, with the Ascendant, with the
meridian, and also its conjunction with
the planets in the sign in which it transits,
and (6) the nakshathra or star in which the
planet transits, and the lord of the naksha-
tra and'its results. All the seven points
are very important, and one has to con-
sider thera one by one. Both the nature
of event and the time of event, will be
% correct only when all these are properly
judged.
may be said -that good aspect from a
planet to any other planet may get cancel-
led by the adverseaspect to another planet.
XUs not correct. Both the results will be
^enjfcyM and - experienced.,.;.If .Saturn, a?
lord of II forms good aspect with Siin,"
lord of 5, and bad aspect with Venus, lord
of 2 and 7, the 1 atter adverse aspect will
not rob away the former beneficial aspect.
Actually, due to the favourable aspect to
Sun, lord of 5, he may gain in races,
13
speculation,^br betting, or be benefited by
children, and because of the adverse aspect
with Venus, Saturn may indicate ailment~
to wife, some worries at home and also
uncommon expenses. The day will not
pass, without all these events; one will not
cancel the other. It may be that, whatever
he gained, he bad to spend away. But he
ought to have felt happy for the success in
speculation or* gain through children, arid
miserable, due ,lo wife's ill-health, and in
his ledger, he should make two entries, the
first is the income through speculation or
children and also fhe expenses of the medi-
cal bill, etc., due ,10 the adverse aspect.
So, also if a planet forms good aspect
with any other planet which also receives
evil aspect from a third planet, then
also both the results will be enjoyed
by the person.
. Thus, when an individual's chart is
taken, and the transit results arc offered ;
after considering all these vital points, the
prediction will come true, and be helpful;
but for a general prediction all these points
cannot be included, as either lagna or
Moon's or Sun's position alone is taken;
that is the main reason why the transit
results, given in general, do not come to
pass, and this gives room for the sceptics
to ridicule the science.
Sfjturn, forming good aspects with other
planets, will make one sober, thoughtful,
and contemplative^ will be careful and
attentive. There will be an increase in
one's popularity and prosperity. Saturn
will offer self-reliance. One will be able
to re-organise, and systematise his work
or business. He will advance, to a-
good extent, and find much progress
8keto"'his'-sincerity, methodical approach ^ j
and tact. One can look for a position of
trust. One may not have rapid progress,
but yet success will be slow, steady, sure,
and well secured. It will be long-stand-
ing. One may purchase land, begin to
 construct a tViilding, lease out one$s build-
ing or land, or enter into a long-term
agreement. It is also likely that one la^kes
excavation, work, or get employed in
mines, or deal with plumbers, shoe
\ makers, hide-and-leather dealers, masons,
gardeners, agriculturistSi'- coal and fuel
dealers, and also be benefited through
aged persons.
Saturn, forming evil aspect with
planets, shows that the person will be'
unfortunate. One will be discouraged due
to failures in one's enterprises. Even
petty problems will appear to be big and
difficult. The depression and the melan-
' choly feelings will gain possession of the
person. However much one guards his
speech or controls his tongue, yet he will
be mistaken, if he speaks out anything i if
he keeps quiet, and observes silence, that
too, will be mistaken. What a pity it is!
His judgment during this period will be
poor and there can be no intuition. Even
if he tries for a change of place, or job or
if he tries to start a new business, the
impediments and obstacles Will so much
depress him that he will be inclined to give i
up his projects, and find himself helpless.
Eurther, as Saturn represents elderly
people, only aged persons or those born
on Saturdays or in MakaraCapricorn, or
AquariusKumbha Lagna or rasi, and
those bom in Pushyam, Anuradha, or
Uthirattadhi star, will do harm to him.
So you should deal carefully with old
people. Also, if you are living in any old
house, not at all repaired by the owner, try
. to shift from those quarters. If you work
in a mine, you should be careful. Those
who deal in the business governed1 by
Saturn, will incur much loss. Compensa-
tion for the loss of the life of a servant, is
valso threatened. You have to take all
precautionary measures to avoid falls,
injuries, and accidents. Try to keep
. company with people who are witty, and.

will be critical, and even expert medical
aid may fail.
On 27-7-64 Saturn enters into Jupiter's
sub, and it is a period when one can return
home after a long journey, or rejoin duty,
or reunite with relatives and friends. You
may invest money on landed properties, or
celebrate the marriage of children in the
3rd week of August. Younger brother will
be transferred in his service. Donation for '
religious functions, or for temple renova-
tion, is also indicated within 21-8-64.
On 21-8-64, Saturn passes on to Rahu
sub and on 17-9-64 enters into Dhauishta
star. Saturn indicates ill-health, but there
will be larger profit, and anxiety to recover
the entangled money.
Between 17-9-64 to 2-11-64, Saturn retro-
grades in Dbanishta and becomes direct
or2-11-64; throughout this year, it is in
Dhanishta. ' Therefore, the results men-
tioned under Moon-sub for a period bet-
ween 13-3-64 and 23-3-64, will be repeated.
When Saturn is in that position, the expe-
. .rriences between 8-3-64 and 13-3-64 when
Saturn is in Sun's sub, will be similar
"between 9-10-64 and 2-11-64, when Saturn
will be in Sun's sub. On 2-11-64, Saturn
takes a direct course, & is jn Sun's sub till
25-11-64. This result will be .similar to
what is experienced between 8-3-64 and ,
13-3-64.
Between 25-11-64 and 15-12-64, Saturn
will be in Moon's sub, and the results will
be the same as were experienced between
13-3-64 and 23,3-64. On 15-12-64, Saturn
enters into Satbabisha Star, and the end
of the year is similar to the period between
23-3-64 and 12-4-64.
Thus, the transit results-are to be read
according to ^ Krishnamurti Paddhathi ".
In general, without considering the
various changes in the same sign, one will
normally predict that Saturn in.l J.to Aries,,,,
muwill be very good.

would have occupied Taurus-Rishaba, Leo-

or born between 14th May ^nd lSth June,

Saturn shows vast improvement in one's
financial position, frame of mind, etc.
Unnecessary fears will come to an end. A
new cycle of bright life will start. Partner

You may have short tours. A few, having'
Sun in Taurus, will dispose of their landed
property or car. Moon in Taurus indi-
cates that the brother may have some
difficulties, and his health may fail, though
he may have to overwork. He may be
transferred, or he may be touring between
26-1-64 and 11-2-64.
When Saturn proceeds further, you W'J 1
have larger gains but yet you will Be^
mentally engaged. Much of planning and
scheming is shown. You may meet any
sage, or visit any holy place between
11-2-64 and 18-2-64.
/
Between 18-2-64 and 7-3-64, Saturn
indicates that you may borrow easily to
meet extra demands. Health is restored!
There may be social function at home.
Success in efforts, or improvement in
business, or increase in salary is portray-
ed. One may make long journeys in con-
nection with his business, and fulfil his
desire. The partnership deed will be re-
newed. Wife may come back from her
tour, and domestic life will also' be
pleasant. Musicians and actors may have
new contracts. Those, who deal in skins
hides, will gain. much, by exporting
large'"qiiuhtitieg. Between 8-3-64 and
13-3-64, advance payment for the purchase
of a plot, or building, or vehicle, is indi-
cated. Advantages from Government offi-
cials, benefits to mother,' and journeys of
 cfeidren, are also.Iiicely. Any one of your
ichildren^may have minor injury, while
splaying.
j 13-3-64 to 23-3-64 is a" brilliant time to
feceive encouraging letters, get back lock-
ed-up money, and earn larger profits.
Assistance from brothers, gains by editing,
publicity, etc., and improvement through
salesmen, brokers and agentsj are promis-
ed. Health will be normal.
23-3-64 to 12-4-64 will be a busy period.
Name, fame, and reputation will increase.
Dullness in mind, or in business will
disappear. You will entertain hopes, and
will be optimistic about the future. Fresh
enterprises will be launched. There will
be much activity, and boldness in all
undertakings, coupled with popularity.
Bank position will improve.
12-4-64 to 5-5-64 is a prosperous time
for making money in life. Success in
litigation, contentment and gain in specu-
lation, are assured. Business people can
speculate to their maximum, and gain
immensely. There will be no loss, nor any
quarrel with anybody. New friendship
will be formed. There will be vast increase
in their list of customers. Lawyers,
bankers, and professors will have advance-
ment in their career.
Between 5-5-64 and 27-7-64, Saturn
shows that some may go on long journey.
They may make arrangements with
foreigners'and have foreign collaboration.
A few may invest much money on busi-
ness. Some will sit for departmental
examination, and come out successful.
Those, who work in foreign concerns, or
embassy, will have satisfactory increase in
their income. Good relationship with
higher officials and their support will be
had in this period. Later, between 27-7-64
and Zl-8-64, success will be slow. The
gains will be less than what you had
between J 2-4-64 and 5-5-64 when Saturn
was in the same position as it is in this
'{iefiod;--
Whenever a planet is retrograde, if it
transits in evil sub-lord's portion, the
malefic results will be aggravated and if
the sub-lord in that star is a benefic in
17
retrograde, the advantages ahd advance-
ment, during that time, will be less than
. normaj. A planet in direct motion in a
beneficial sub-lord's portion in a constel-
lation, gives satisfactory gains. When it is
vakra or retrograde in the same position,
gains are assured, but it is much less re-
munerative for the same extent of pains.
Hence, Saturn, a benefic to Taurus-
Rishaba, will not-be adverse at all, in this,
portion in Aquarius, ruled by Saturn; in
Sathabisha Star governed by Rahu and
in the sub of Jupiter between 8 40! in
Aquarius to 10 26' and 40".
Similarly, when it further retrogrades in
Rahu sub, between 21-8-64 and 18-9-64,
the results will be favourable. There will
be speedy turn-over in business, and profit
in every transaction, but yet the margin
of profit, will be very little, and unsatis-
vfactory. If you are a pumpset dealer, and
if you normally gain seventy rupees per
purapset when the planet was in direct
motion, now when it is retrograde, you
will be able to make only ten or fifteen
rupees. The profit will be booked but the
amount will be little and unsatisfactory.
One will come out successful in examina-
tion, but will not have a rank. In an
interview for service, he will be one among
the many applicants selected, but he will
not be considered to be the best in the lot.
A few may shift their residence, if Rahu
would have occupied Leo-Sim ha or if
Rahu would have been in Karthikai,
Uthiram orUthiradarastar in their horos-
copes. Those having Rahu in the 7th
house, or insthe constellation of Mrigasi-
risha, Chithrai or Dhanishta ruled by
Mars, the lord of 7, will get married, espe-
cially those who had Saturn in retrograde
motion at the time of their birth.
.Between 18-9-64 and 9rl0-64, arrange-
ments to go overseas will fall through.
There will be much of correspondence,
etc. Brothers may go on journey. Those
who deal in liquids or in publicity, etc.,
will have less of gains. There will be some
obstacle or other in one's efforts. Sales- .
men and representatives will be paying
visit to the customers who will not be
able to help them in this period.
 Between 9-10-64 and 2^11-64, delay wiil
cause worry, and money may get locked
up. Any reminder, written in this period,
will have no response. Assistance from
Ooveraraent officials will be absent. Those
who" work in the Defence department will
be transferred or will proceed on leave. It
is a dull period for business people.
Pleasant expenses and purchases will be
rare, and it will far outweigh the income
in this period. There may be the neces-
sity to arrange for over-draft accounts by
the industrialists.
Once for all, evil results, rather the dull-
ness, will come to end, and people born in
Taurus-Rishaba, will have again pros- -
perous period, commencing from 2-11-64,
when Saturn becomes direct. Between
2'll-64 and 25-11-64, these people will
have such results as they enjoyed between
8-3-64 and 13-3-64. Later, the results
between 25r11-64 and 15-12-64, offered by
Saturn will be similar to what they had
between 13-3-64 and 23-3-64. The end of
the year will be as good as it was after 23rd
March, and before 12th April, 1964.

One is said to be born in Mesha Rasi
(Aries Rasi), if Moon at the time of his
birth was either in Aswini (in any one of
the 4 quarters) or in Bharani (in any- one
of the 4 quarters) or in Karthikai 1st
pada.
If Moon passes on to Karthikai 2nd
pada, Moon will be marked in Taurus in
his chart, and if Moon were to.be in the
2nd or 3rd or 4th pada of Karthikai or in
any quarter of Rohini or in the first two
quarters of Mrigasirisha, Moon is said to
be in Taurus and the native is said to have
been born in Taurus Rasi or Rishaba Rasi.
Thus in all the twelve Rasis, one is to
insert Moon carefully and' call him or
. her that he or she is born in that Rasi, in
which Moon was at the time of birth.
Why prediction fails?
1. While giving the effects of transit, it
is not at all taken into consideration
whether Moon was in the beginning or in
the middle or in the end of the Rasi.
2./ It is also not taken into calculation
whether the transiting planet is in the^ star, requested two other Rohini star boys

A lady for curiosity asked a beggar,
" What is your star ? Why should you

Moolam and added that as many used to
say that Modlam star girls means "Nir-

the auntee's proverb. Then she gathered
courage and told her, "My star is also
Moolam. I am really very happy, peace-
ful and prosperous. I have become very
rich.. There is nothing wanting in rac or
for me. What is this dirty universal pro-
verb." Now consider: one Moolam native
begs and the other Moolam donates.

disappointed and dejected where'as the
other is successful and happy.
On 19-10-1962, a Swathi gentleman sold
Indian.. Iron, . Hindustan Motor and
National Rayons to another Swathi person.
Suddenly the share mark* : collapsed. The
prices of shares tumbled down; one
Swathi minted money, while the other
lost and suffered.
 in an interview, to select only- one
candidate for acovetable post, four Poor-^
vapalguni people contested. There, were
some more candidates born in other stars,
. Of the 4, only one got appointed, whereas"
the other three returned disappointed."
Thu^ in our lives we see that
(a) An Aswani Naksbathra native is
admitted in a hospital at the time
when anothcr.Aswini Nakshathra
person gets discharged after
treatment,
(b) A Pushya .Nakshathra Inspector
of Police arrests another Pushya
Nakshathra criminal. The Ins-
pector is happy, because he was
able to trace the culprit and to
discharge his duty while the other
is within bars.
(c) An Anuradha Nakshathra car
driver runs over another Anuradha
Nakshathra pedestrian.
(d) Sravana Nakshathra person has
a legal dispute with another
Sravana Nakshathra native. The
judge born in Sravana Nakshathra
passes a judgment by which one
gains and the other loses.
(e) Poorvashada star native owns a
house. Another Poorvashada
star native is a tenant.' The
owner occupies on the day the
tenant vacates.
(f) A Jyeshta star native sells a car
d.ue io pressure for money, while
another Jyeshta person purchases
from him.
Thus, you will see that the same star
people experience diametrically opposite
results.
So, to predict the Gochara or transit
results taking only the star position into
consideration, is incomplete.
That is why, the Rasipalans published
in the dailies, weeklies, and monthlies vary
even in essentials so widely.and- so erratic-
ally that they give room to the readers
for ridiculing this noble science.
Now, one may say, that one has to take
-into consideration the dasa and bhukti
21
one runs. This also is not com pie te.
Because when twins are born, they have
the same star. Moon position, i.e., rasi is
same as also lord of dasa and lord of
bhukti the same. Yet one scored good'
marks and passed the examination,
while the other failed. Doth bet and play;
one wins and the other loses. Both run
a race. One wins; the other loses. Both
stand for election. One loses; the other
wins. Consider. That method, which can
explain this, will alone be useful and
correct.^
There is a fool proof and accurate
method by which correct predictions can
be offered. (Krishnamurthi Paddhathi
will complete this system.)
., You may ask " Why then, is such an
incorrect predictiotf handed down to us?''
Is the western system preferable? We say,
it is complete. It is not totally incorrect.
Westeners also take the position of Sun
for general predictions, find out the rela-
tive position of the transiting-planets and
offer the effects of those transiting planets.
This is also incomplete.
Farther more, we have to understand
that, in the Hindu system, the sages have
declared that beneficial effects will be given,
when
(a) Sun transits in 3rd, 6lh, lOlh or
11th house counted from Moon
sign;
(b) Moon passes in 1, 3, 6, 7 or 10th
house from its sign in the birth
chart;
(c) Mars passes in 3, 6 or 11;
(d). Mercury is in 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 or
U;
(e) Jupiter is in 2, 5, 7, 9 or 11 ;
(f)" Venus in 1, 2, 3. 4, 5, 8, 9, 11
or 12;
(g) Saturn, Rahu and Kethu are in
3, 6 or 11 counted from the
position of Moon at the time of
birth.
Let us take the effect of Jupiter during
his transit. It is said that when Jupiter
passes through the second house, the per-
 son will acquire wealth and will enjoy
domestic happiness. He will command
respect and will be influential-
Actually one lost his job when Jupiter
was in 2 to Mo'on. Every one shunned his
society. None came forward to help him ;
but he appealed. The paper did not move
favourably for months. In the meanwhile,
Jupiter passed on to the third sign.
It is said that Jupiter in the 3rd house
throws obstacles to business and
causes disease in the body; it shows sepa-
^ration from friends and loss of position.
After Jupiter entered the third sign, he
came out successful and was reinstated.
Back arrears of pay were also received.
The above is a fact.
This incident forced us to do research.
A girl born in Anuradha did not get
married when Jupiter was strong in his
own sign in the second house. But when
it passed into the 3rd sign, she got married.
Instances are many.
In the south, people call the transit of
Jupiter in 2, 5, 7, 9 Or 11th house from
Moon sign as " Guru Balam'* or " Viya-
va Balam "They say that one can have
nis or her marriage when there is Guru Ba-
lam^i.e., when Guru transits in 2 or 5 or
7 or 9 or 11th house counted from Moon
sign. It is evil and the marriage will not be
celebrated during other periods.
If one goes round the town on any day,
he can find nearly.a hundred places where
marriages are celebrated. Let him collect
the horoscopes of the couples. He will find
that all the' 27 star boras are getting marri-
ed on that day. Does it not mean, that
Jupiter would be occupying the 1st, 2nd,
3rd and so on till 12 th house or any one of
them. To One, it will be in Janma. To
another, in 2 to Moon: to another in
3 and so on. Hence, the above rule should
not be strictly observed.. Let us note the
Nakshathras of students who have passed
the examination. "WeTwiirfind thaUall the
27 stars are the birth stars- of one or the
other'. So also the Sun will be in all the
twelve signs. It means Jupiter in all the
12 houses has given pass to them.
22
Let us-turn to tkose wto tave to appear
again for the examination. They are also
born in all the 27 Nakshathras.
Therefore, to offer a general prediction
that Jupiter in 3 will do harm, is not wise
or correct in all cases.
The various points to be noted are very
briefly mentioned below, .In our April
issue, it will be explained in detail.
1. Note your Lagna.
2. The house of which Moon is the
lord.
3. Of which house the transiting
planet is the ruler.
4. The house in which it transits.
5. The star in which it moves, the
\ planet which rules over the star.
Of which houses this planet (i.e,
the lord of the star) is the owner.
6. Is it in direct motion or retro-
- grade?
- 7. Is it strong or weak : is it eclipsed?
8. Where was the planet transiting
at the time of birth.
9. Find out the aspect formed by
the transiting planets, etc.
,1. A planet may be the owner of the
llth house, promising profit, whereas the
same planet may be the owner of the 12th
house for people born in the previous
lagha and it willshow loss, fraud, etc.
Though the name of the planet may be
the same, yet the results will vary. To
(Virgo (Kanni), Moonis.lord of II ensuring
success. To Leo (Siraha), Moon is lord of'
12, threatening deception. So to each, the
result of Moon must vary,
2. Moon ma^ be lord of 2, denoting
aquisition of wealth. To another, it may
be lord of 8, indicating diflicuUies. If the
transiting PLANET forms same aspect
with Moon, one will have a large income,
while the other may suffer.
' Thus if one^studies the various aspects,
he "will come to the conclusion, that the
whole chart is to be taken fc considera-
tion and all the transiting planer s positions
are to be referred to, all the positions of
 the various planets, Ascendant, Meridian
and Forluna.
1. Therefore, Doctor, send your chart.
2. Don't be carried away by these pro-
verbs, 3. Read the April issue and you
yourself will be your own astrologer.
- Question 3: I have heard your lec-
tures. Often you make it clear, that the
monthly, weekly or daily predictions
published are only general. You also add
that they may come true only in a few cases.
My friends also agree with you. They say
that they do not come true in some cases,
or they find that, in some magazines, both
good and evil arc published for the same
Rasi, in the sams issue. Can you say, why
they still continue to be read ?
Answer : Suppose you have a strong
palate for sweet dishes. But doctors have
advised you not to include it in your diet
in the interest of your health. Yet, now
and then, because of your weakness, you
do take them.
Sage Viswamithra closed his eyes tight
and was ever praying. But yet, he had a
glance at Menaka. You know that his
daughter was Sakunthala.
Those who go to races, or gamble regu-
larly and lose invariably take a vow, that
they will never go again, when they ieave
the race course or when the game is over.
But on the next race, day, they borrow,
pray the same God and attend races or
play cards once again to lose. All these
show human weaknesE^
After all, itisourimL<i which governs
us. Mind is represented by Moon. Is not
Moon waxing and waning? Is it not
bright on some days and dark on other
days ? Is it riot fast moving arid therefore
unsteady? So also, the mind is never
steady. One may take a decision. Yet,
after some time he amends it or gives it
up. Such is the nature of one's mind,
wavering, unsteady and vacillating.
' "Th'ough some peopje say;that the predic-
tions given by a few astrologers do ndt*?
23
come to pass, yet they await eagerly the -
arrival of the postman to deliver the
weekly or monthly on the scheduled date.
Even though the postman delivers many
letters, including one from bis wife or
daughter who had gone to a far off place, he
or she hurriedly opens the magazine and
straightaway turns over the page where the
prediction is published and rushes to read
the results, given for the concerned rasis.
That is the weakness of many.
For a few it comes "true. They want to
make the best use of this knowledge.
Majority of the people gather courage
by reading encouraging predictions. These
keep them cheerful in the coming week.
If nothing has happened, he consoles him-
self, saying that some one born in his rasi
would have had this result.
If the prediction offered for a month is
discouraging the same person will say,
" The prediction has generally failed in ray
case. Now also; it may not come to pass."
So saying, he gives away the magazine to
his children and friends.
. A month passes.
Mind you, the same gentleman, eagerly
waits for the postman. Post may be
delayed due to the late arrival of plane or
train. Yet, be 'stays at home though it is
getting late to his office, receives the
magazine, goes through the prediction
offered to his Rasi, hands over all letters
to his children even without opening the
covers and rushes to his office, saying
" Keep all the letters. T will return from
office and answer themThat is our
weaknessweakness of many. It is only
to satisfy the general public, by giving as
far as possible correct results, the monthly
and weekly predictions are published.
Most of the people need it. There are
also equal number of astrologers to offer
their services and cater to their needs.
Why then, should the editors deny this
opportunity,to. them ?

Planetary forms and characteristics are
also given, and how these get modified in
effect to particular lagnas, and also in res-
pect of their placements in the various
zodiacal and stellar mansions^ is also
explained in this Science of Sciences.
Thus scores of factors of the radical
chart furnish every possible information
about every creature that has taken its
birth in this planet, and that is strutting
about this earthly theatre for a while in its
sojourn, further, the unfolding of the
destiny of the concerned ' Jeeva ' is marked
by so many and varied experiences and
happenings throughout its life, and indi-
cated by the progressed positions of the
radical factors, and examination of
hundreds of horoscopes reveal that Huma-
nity is just a pattern in Cosmic Existence
of the Supreme, with the ego struggling
against the Environment for fuller develop-
ment and union with its Supreme Self.
While Astrological factors clearly indi-
cate many an important aspect with regard
to the 1 Jeeva * and the events in its cyclic
journey, no one will be satisfied if the
subject stops with indications only. It
would be just like a doctor examining a
critical patient, noting the symptoms in a
piece of paper, and just handing over the
paper to the anxious relative, and march
off.
We would like to divert a bit in our
examination of the real utility of this super-
science in relation to man and his predica-
ment. First of all in any scheme of
enquiry, one must feel sufficiently keen arid
agitated as it were, to probe into the sub-
ject fully and thoroughly and must have
the burning urge to get at the root of the
matter. In these days, there is nothing
more urging and more important than
finding out the real cause for the ever in-
creasing tension in man's mind and in his
environment The urge for the probe into
the structure and properties of matter, of
the Outer Space, has been so keen, sustain-
ing and devoted, that within the last two
25
decades remarkable progress has been
made in the unravelling of the mysteries
of the objective and outer world by
systematic investigations and research by
scientific methods, which are quite differ-
ent from vague surmises, and deductions.
Nothing is left to chance but scores and
scores of changes, transformations, actions
and reactions, and chain reactions, in
Physical, Chemical, Medical and other
Sciences have been probed into, analysed,
and assessed with the aid of powerful
instruments, highly developed techniques
and by highly trained devoted scientific
talents. Correlations have been made,
hypotheses drawn, and finallyvaluablelaws
have been established and new and newer
discoveries are being made from time to
time as to the laws governing the objective
pattern of the Universe.
Man's mind is now on the threshold of
not merely of curiosity, but is in the path
of enquiry and investigation, and he is
not willing to accept anything on face
value cr take anything for granted, though
of course Man's attention is towards the
Objective and Environment. A definite
scientific approach to all subjects and
problems is in the mental make-up of the
modern educated and there is also a
pronounced sceptical attitude developing
side by side, towards all matters pertaining
to established customs, religious obser-
vances, rituals, etc. Even the illite-
rate layman, who has not developed
any scientific outlook or training, is now
not willing to accept the tenets of Dharma
or quotations from Ancient Wisdom,
because his mind has either sunk low or
clouded, or he has often found out that, to
his disillusionment, preachers in any
platform do not practise what they often
preach. Anyway, the mind of the ordinary
man is sufficiently confused to appreciate
any mode of life.
Again the exigencies of modern life are
increasingly compelling every day on the
individual and man's mind is almost
always siezed with the economic problems
of daily life; most of the people are driven
to work like machines and they are unable
to rest at oars even for a lime; many
square pegs have had to contend themselves
 being driven into round boles, further,
there is a general tendency towards
regimentation and brainwashing of the
masses in some of the so-called civilised
nations and so much diversion is taking
place in the mind of man towards objective
life and utilitarian outlook.' There is no
balance being maintained between Science
and Art in life, and every encouragement
is given for a mechanical, materialistic
outlook to develop only selfish interests
with the result that a mass psychosis is
often set up. Moral laws and solemn
undertakings are flouted with impunity and
the only thing that seems to inspire awe,
admiration is the physical and mechanical
might. Technological and scientific
developments of the respective nations and
nationals. With all these advances
apparent in modern civilisation, the whole
humanity is gripped with an unknown
,.fear of uncertainty about future existence
by unexpected calamities and crises from
the possible use of Nuclear Power that
may be released by warring nations
especially when all standards of morality,
ethical living have fallen, and negative
thinking has taken possession of men's
minds. Disillusionment stares face to face

tions.- Idealism has given place to the com-
monplace, cheap, vulgar and unsustaining, ^enquiring
and tl^ere is a universal tendency to revert
to th^Jierdand animal instincts and tastes,
and animal pattern in creation. Make the
hay while the Sun shines; for the morrow
may not be certain of conferring anything
brighter. Man is leading a fast life and
"nothing seems to matter with him except

have no time, urge, patience, or serious
outlook or any sensibility enough to feel
that anything is amiss or wrong at all.
26
And the very few wbd are sensitive to tki
increasing tension prevailing in almost
every household, industrial establishment,
governing body and administration, by
unjust acts and malpractices, of strange
indoctrinations and conceptions adumbera-
ted from every pulpitonly these people
will revolt against the existing state of
affairs, and only these can, and will direct
their attention, and probe into the compli-
cations for this universal degradation and
degeneration and unrest and they alone
will be capable of finding the cause and
remedy.
From time to time, thinking men have
set for themselves these problems of
Humanity and offered suggestions of
various measures and reforms in Religious,
Social, and Political aspects of life. Of
course, all these measures work for some
time after awakening a section of the
Humanity, and then gradually wane and
vapourise, if the Basic Reality of the
Supreme has not sufficiently been
impressed on their minds, and the
supreme Light has not been kept burning
by the progeny.
Though there can be nothing new under
the Sun, considering the times in which we
the Old Nectar has to be filled up in
new bottles of modern standards, and
Humanity- must be made to consume the
same in a " Scientific" way to enable them
to get at the root of the matter of all
tensions, discontent, and misery. In a
way, the present tempo of the modern
mind is best suited for diversion
into the Subject instead of the Object, in
which it is coming off with signal success
by astounding discoveries regarding outer
space, for instance. If the keen student can
find out the real cause for the present
confused state of the present world, and
suggest remedies that every one of us can
follow, he deserves to be hailed as a
Saviour in his own way. It would seem
that he would have to follow the same
pat^LWlhat the Ancients of all lands have
follePicd; he will recognise the Supreme
Preseilce ot Supreme Power, the alLp^erya-
mechanism, activity and dynamism of all
Creation and Manifestation and he will
treat the matter scientifically. In this
 Universe, nothing is left to chance and
nothing is misplaced by the Original
Designer.
Now the whole question is, as in every-
thing else, to what extent Astrology is
useful to Humanity in solving all its
problems and ills? Apart from indicating
lucky and unlucky periods in a man*s life
"and giving him alternate doses of sanguine
hopes and object despondency striking at
the same time a note of. compelling sub-
mission of the subject to the unavoidable
and apparently inevitable, is this Science
of any use to meet the challenge of daily
problems disturbing the equanimity of the
mind 1 Further, ' as Astrology is not
concerned with the fortunes or misfortunes
of individuals only, but of communities,
nations as well, with which these of the
individuals are also closely linked, what
is its real purpose, unless it provides
measures for universal relief?
Now that is exactly the function of
Astrology as the Science of the Supreme ;
it is the only Science that covers the
Subject, Predicate and Object, that is
everything, and for all times. We cannot
fully appreciate the usefulness of this
branch of Knowledge, which is praised as
Vedanga, unless we probe into the
Metaphysics of Life and Existence.
It is just as well at this juncture to
acquaintourselves with a fewof the import-
ant fundamental conceptions, words,
terms, definitions, and their import, used
in Hindu Thought and Philosophy. One
Supreme Idea is expressed in Vishnu
Suktha in the following stanza and this is
the clue for All Creation and Manifesta-
tion.
'Yaccha kinchit jagat Sarvam drisyathe sruya-
.thepl va, Anthar bahischa tatsarvara vyapa
Narayana sthithaha."
The Supreme Being is all Pervading,
All-Present, in and out of every infinitesi-
mal particle of matter, being, and in and
out of everything seen and unseen, beard
and unheard, in the whole realm of
Creation. He is the Supreme Soul,
Paramalman, Supreme: Ego, Parabrah-^
man,.Eternal Bliss, The Primary Cause,
The Sublime Truth, The Eternal Flame,
27
Omniscient, Omnipotent, and 'devoid of
all gunas and nature. He is the Supreme
Light and: Enlightenment. He is the
Supreme .Absolute Subject; Absolute
Reality.
. Parasakthi: Is the Divine Consort, is
the Supreme Power, inseparable from the
Supreme Being just as light rays cannot
be separated from the light itself. She is
the primary cause of all motions and
dynamism and power. Her position is in
his Being. She is the Absolute Subjective
Force.
Adhara Saktbi or Mula Prakrithi:
The Nuclear Power of all Matter, and
Nature, and she builds up the Architecture
of the Objective Universe. She is the
Absolute Object, the repository of all
forces of Elements.
Maya Sakthi or Illusive Power: She is
the resultant power and energy system
emanating from the Eternal Union of the
Supreme Power, Parasakthi and Adahra
Sakthi of Universal Nucleic Power. She
is the Universal Mind and represents a
system of constant change, motion,
combinations and separations, formations
and transformations; she represents the
field of Karma of all creatures; of relative
causes, effects, actions, reactions and
chain reactions. She is the Predicate. She
has illusory dimensions of Time, Space
and Consciousness. She is the Shadow
force resulting from the union of
Parasakthi and Adharasakthi forming
clear or distorted impressions on the
i n d i v i d u a 1 's mind based on the
evolution of the ego enclosed by the
vasanas, just as the shadow from an
object is twisted or straight depending
upon its distance from the source of light
and on the surface on which it falls. Maya
Sakthi is relative and dualistic in nature
based on the composition from the
Absolute Subject and Absolute Object.
She is the inseparable component of the
Supreme Soul that she envelopes, and in
individuaPs life, is the spiritual consort of
the ' jeeva', and is the Kshetra or Field
for procreation and fertility, and preserva-
vtion and final disillusionment of the ego,
rof The ephemeral.

What everybody wants but none gets is close. Similarly a person's birth now, is
peace of mind. The only method by which generally after he had some births pre-
one can try to have peace is by strictly viously. This birth may be the last or he

 In one's life, according to his destiny
one may try to have Ika-Loka-Sukha; that
is to lead animal life with legalised
modern amenities, claiming "This is mine,
That is mine" and so on, and ever laying
stress on 'I'.. This law is man-made and
calling'I*, 'I*, 'I* is one's egoism.
There are only a very few people who
strenuously work for and aim at Para-
Loka-Sukha, i.e., eternal peace without
having any attachment in the worldly
pleasures.
This can be judged by dividing the
Zodiac into two parts; that is, the houses
I to 8, denoting pleasure and pains in this
world; houses 9 to 12, indicating Sadhana
to have peace and pleasure in the Heavens.
The first house shows one's birth,
health, individuality, and egoism.
Manickavasagar says, "lam again bora
in the sorrowful sea of life; every year I
save my gains. My life is varied, off and
on. In the morning I work, at noon I take
food, and at night I go to sleep. As days
pass on, I fall into the worldly love...Thus,
I live in that sorrow which all call wealth ;
I lived in varied forms and fortunes and I
spent my days."
The second house indicates one's self-
acquisition to call it as "Mine, My estate,
My family. My finance, etc."
The third is a common sign called
Gemini. An intellectual, airy and dual
one. So one will have dual ideas; the
desire to have both Ika-Loka-Sukha and
Para-Loka-Sukha. Here comes the conflict.
He is not able to take any decision. He
lacks it.
The fourth house shows that one remains
at home with mother enjoys comforts by
possessing lands, buildings, conveyance,
etc. His mind will ever be wandering, like
the moon. He cannot concentrate". He will
be fond of changes.
The fifth house is Leo. It is governed by
Sun. It shows the fruits of your action in
this world; also the initiation by a
Sadh-Guru. Who can throw light? Sun in
the Heavens removes the darkness enve-
loping the earth, so also a wise and learned
person who has the.capacjty.to remove the.
darkness, who is steady in his action, in a
fixed position alone can remove. Sun"
4
moves among the stars, in the ecliptic,
steadily, with more or less in uniform
speed, ruling the 5th sign of the Zodiac
which is fixed. For Ika-Loka-Sukha, 5th
house shows children and for Para-Loka-
Sukha it indicates intuition and initia-
tion of mantra.
The sixth house is for detrimental ideas
and actions, difficulty and disease, debts
and depression.
The seventh house shows that one gets
entangled in this life with a partner-oppo-
site sex. One finds pleasure or purchases
pain according to his Karma-
Having led the life in this world as long
as one is allowed to live, by God, which
is indicated by the 8th house, he or she
leaves this body to receive judgment from
God to have another birth in a particular
place, to a particular parent and at a
particular time,
But in one's horoscope, houses 9, 10,
11 and 12 are auspicious. These houses
are above the horizon at the time of
birth. He will also rise above the
horizon, if everything is favourable, and
reach the Heavens of Bliss. Actually,
everyone will struggle against the bondage
of physical nature and the lack of physical
gratification: Swami Vivekananda says
that out of this lower consciousness grows
and broadens the higher conception of a
mental or moral bondage and a longing
for spiritual freedom. 9th house is
Dharma, 10th Karma, ilth Kama and
12th Moksha. Thus Dharma, Artha,
Kama, Mokshathe four are indicated by
the 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th houses in the
above order.
9th house, the house of Dharma and
the 12th house, the house of Moksha are
allotted to Jupiter. By that, one is to
understand, if one observes Dharma and
does his duty wisely, he will be fortunate
to have a brilliant, wise Guru, as indicated
by the House Sagittarius. Also Guru will
instruct him to avoid evil deeds, just jlikc a
wealthy person carrying money will pvoid
dangerous roads and a man who waots to
live long will avoid poison. If a man
commits a sin, let him not repeat it again-
But if he does good to any, let him repeat
such deeds again and again to all.
 The IOth house Capricorn shows, by
hiscontinupusand steady practice (the 10th
house- ^armaowned by Saturn) one
can meditate with patience, perseverance
and faith and proceed. CaJvin Coolidge
has said " Nothing in the world can take
the place of persistence. Talent will not;
nothing is more common than unsuccessful
men with talent. Genius will not; un-
rewarded genius is almost a proverb. Edu-
cation will not; the world^s full of
educated derelics. Persistence and deter-
mination alone are omnipotent. The
Slogan "Presson" has solved, and always
will solve the problem of the human race.
Samuel Johnson says " All the^perfor-
mances of human art, which we look with
praise or wonder, are instances of the
resistless force of perseverance: it is by
this that the quarry b^Jomes a pyramid,
and that distant countries are united with
canals. If a man was to compare the
effect of a single stroke of the pick-axe or
of one impression of the spade with the
general design and last result, he would be
overwhelmed by the sense of their dis-
proportion ; yet those petty operations,
incessantly continued, in time, surmount
the greatest difficulties, and mountains are
levelled, and oceans bounded by the
slender force of human beings. "
The 11th house owned by Saturn gives
him the steady mind and the strong desire
Kamato reach the Goal. It also shows
the permanent tie of friendship between
you and God. Benjamin Franklin says,
" And have we now fofgotten that power-
ful Friend? Or do we imagine we no
longer need His assistance? I have lived a
long time; and the longer I live, the more
convincing proofs I see of this truth :
that God governs in the affairs of men.
And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground
without His notice, is it probable that an
empire can rise without his aid ? "
The Goal is the 12th house. It is.
Moksha-etcrnal Bliss. It is to be sanc-
tioned only by God according to our
action. That is why the I2th .house is
ruled by Jupiter who represents God and
who removes the confusion in the mind
caused by Gemini, by owing. the two
houses uGich oppose and square Gemini.
Hence to an Astrologer, R.ciie*^'- -
doctrine preaching various methods to
attain perfect peace. One has to take
the correct route guided by a well-
experienced Preceptor. He must have
absolute faith, and persevere till he reaches
the Goal; just like one taps water from
under the ground, sooner or later, if he
does not give up his attempts, and if he
goes on making efforts in the same lines
in which'the diviner has directed. Also
real pleasure can be had only when one
enjoys peace. For peace, pray, pray,
pray till you achieve your aim.

Tolstoy says, " I remember one day in
the early spring-time, f was listening to
the sounds of a wood, and thinking only
of one thing, the same of which I had
constantly thought for two years. I was
again seeking for a God.
_ \ said to myself, " It is well, there is no
God, there is none that has a reality apart
from my own imaginings, none as real as
my own lifethere is none such. Nothing,
no miracles can prove there is, for
miracles only exist in my own unreason-
able imagination."
 And then J asked myself, "But my
conception (Of the,, God whom I seek,

joyously through my veins. All around
me seemed to revive, to have a new
meaning. My joy, though did not last
long, for reason continued its work: "The
conception of God is7 not God. Concep-
tion is what goes on within myself;
the conception of God is an idea
which I am able to rouse in my mind or
not, as I choose ; it is not what I seek,
something without which life could not
be.** Theh again all seemed to die around
and within me, and again J wished to kill
After this, I began to retrace the
process which had gone on within myself,
the hundred-times-repeated discourage-
ment and revival. I remembered that J
had lived only when I believed in a God.
6
As it was before so it was now ; f ha
only to know God, and I lived; I had
only to forget Him, not to believe in Him
and I died. What, was this discourage-
ment and revival ? J do not live when I
lose faith in the existence of a God ; I
should long ago have killed myself, if I
had not had a dim hope of finding him. I
only really live when I feel and seek him.
".What more, then, do I seek V* A voice
seemed to cry within me. "This is He,
He without whom there is no life! To
know God and to live are one. God is
life! Live to seek God, and life will not be
without Him And stronger than ever
rose up life within and around me, and
the light that then shone never left me
again."
I Thus to all, whether one is a politician
or a piousman, God is Love, and man has

Among the ancient Aryans, there was
no early marriage. Nor any person was
allowed to marry a girl older than him.
Manu preferred the difference of age
between the husband and the wife to be
ten years.
Regarding the selection of the bride-
groom or the bride, it varied widely. In
India,
1'. The princess was allowed to have
her marriage by " Swayam Varam",
making her own choice among the princes
assembled in a hall.
2. The prince may meet any bride,
fall in love with her and immediately take
her as wife by "Gandarva Vivaham
3. Others celebrated the marriage by
observing anyone of the following :
(a) The parents are informed that there
is a mutual agreement between the bride i.nd
the bridegroom. If they really love each
other so Mmuch, as Mandavya Maharishi
observes Mano Jayanlhu Mandavyo ",
the parents used to fix the marriage and
celebrate it on an auspicious day at an
auspicious time.
(b) A few used to bring to the notice
of a good-natured,-god-fearing and law-
abiding '<Vib^a,, gentleman, "BRAH-
MIN", and on obtaining his approval, they
celebrated the marriage of a couple, fol-
lowing Janardhana Maharishi's advice.

(c) Brahaspathi stressed on Sagunam

is followed by some people. When the
parents desire to fix'and ^celebfate the
marriage, they observe the omens. If it
is good, they procaed and celebrate. But
if there is ill-omen, the alliance naturally
falls through.

Those who have completely surrendered

Him than in anything else, pray to God
and place some coloured flowers, pick out
one of them and if the desired colour is
obtained, the marriage is celebrated.
Otherwise, it is stopped without any other
consideration.
Most of the people in India used to
consult the astrologers to find out the
longevity, prosperity, progeny, harmony,
happiness, health and agreement among
the couple, and whether there is Dasa
Porutham between the two. Only when
the astrologer approves, they consider the
alliance and proceed further. The truth
is that according to one's fate whomsoever
one is destined to ,, marry, is selected and
the marriage is celebrated. In India, after
marriage, the bride leaves her parents and
lives with her husband in the husband's
quarters.
There are a few uncivilized people in
hilly tracts. The proposed bridegroom
will be requested to live with the bride for
a year and he is given a trial. If he proves
to be alright, the bridegroom is allowed
to marry her. Otherwise, he is rejected
arid this procedure will go on, till she finds
a suitable partner. Look at the lot of the
person. Only when a girl approves, he
can have his wedding.
But amongst the Congo and some more
tribes, the bride is taken upon trial for
twelve months, and if she is not found to
be good she will be sent back to her
parents. In Formosa, the bride.will take
up the lead. She goes out, selects a person,
marries him and takes him to her father's
house. The bridegroom is considered to
be one of the family members. So also,
the boys born in that family will be selec-
ted by other girls, married by them and
taken away by them to their families.
In other nations, the boy and the girl
will fall in love with each other, have them
engaged and later get married.
In Lapland, the selection of -the^partner
is funny. The male and the female are
asked to run a race. The girl will be given
a handicap of one-third the distance. If
the boy wins her in the race, he can have
 ber. Otherwise be loses the cbance witb
; this girl- If the girl does not like the boy,
probably, she will run very fast, with
strong determination to see that the boy is
not able to overtake her. But if the girl
likes the boy, she, probably, will adjust her
speed and allow him to overtake her.
There are many funny ones like this.
Nowadays, some people may marry for
love, some for position and rank, some
for fortune, etc. If one understands the
partner and tries to adjust, then it will be
possible to lead the married life withoutv
losing one's prestige and honour whic .
also is under the pattern of destiny.
In our experience we have found that he
who loves a girl and marries her, takes her
as his wife. But if be marries for fortune,
then she will behave like a mistress.
If the selection is made more for position
and rank, then she will pose herself as a
lady. A real wife will return* your love.
But the mistress will have some regard to
you, whereas the lady whom you married
for position will tolerate. The loving wife
lives for you and she is your wife. But a
mistress attends to the house and her
friends, and the lady will lead a social life
and spend much of her time in the society.
Your wife will never differ from you but
ever comply with your request. Yow will
be ruled by the mistress and managed by
the lady. Consider how the real wife
whom you loved and married- takes care of
your household, whereas the mistress will
look after your house and the lady your
appearance. Even if you feel lazy to have
the hair dressing, the lady will force you
to attend to it; if you put on any old and
torn one, she will give you a good dress
and once for all dispose of the torn ones
to the eversilver hawkers, in the street.
If your health fails and you are admitted
in a nursing home, you cannot get a better
nurse than your wife; but your mistress
will pay visit during the hours allowed for
the public, and your lady will inquire
about your health through the car driver
or. office attendant, etc. Generally the
loving couple will find pleasure by having
evening walk, whereas the mistress will
give you a ride in her car, if the time suits
her and if you make a request, whereas me
lady will take you to a party given by her.
If you are in distress, your wife will
share the grief. The mistress will share
your money and the lady will contribute
to your debts. You cannot observe the
following but it is a fact. If you die, your
wife will cry and weep; your mistress will
lament. But the lady will put on the
mourning dress for some hours.
Bacon says: " Wives arc young men's mistress;
companions for middle age;
and old meo's nurses
According to Varahamihira,
Loving wife will clear her throat
loudly, laugh only in the presence of the
husband, rise towards him from her seat,
request her husband to get her trivial and
easily available articles .embrace and kiss
their child in the presence of her husband,
cast glances at her husband when he looks
anywhere else, be mentioning his virtues,
speak sweetly with him, spend that money
which she has for his sake, feel very happy
and delighted on seeing him, forget her
anger, wink over his mistakes, extol his
good qualities, pay much respect to her
husband's friends, hate his foes, give
expression to her gratitude to her husband
for all the good he bad done, feel lonely
and miserable in his absence, offer him
whatever he wants without any delicacy,
embrace him, kiss him first, etc. Only
lucky people can have such a wife.
Bat a living lady will put on a frown-
ing face, turn away her face from the
husband, or at least hold open a news-
paper preventing her from seeing him,
forget all the benefits done by him to her,
neglect the presence of the husband, ignore
him, mingle with her husband's enemies,
be harsh if he interferes, assume arro-
gance, but help her husband whenever he
goes away, feel more happy and free in
his absence, wipe off the mouth if ever he
kisses or spit away without delay, go to
bed first and get up last. Unless one has
committed enough sin in the previous
birth, one cannot have a woman of this
type as wife who lives only to enjoy her
life. This is his Fate.

He warns the girls born in the six

Anuradha, Dhanishta and Sathabisha
not to marry the boys born in the 7
stars, Ashlesha, Swathi, Poorvashada,
Dhanishta, Barani and Karthikai. He
expects the married life to be very short.
But he approves the match between a
s girl born.-rin Arudhra,. Poorvapalguoi and.-.,
Also he adds:
I. Happiness and birth of children are
 promised if ^tioarvasu girl marries
Hastham boy.
2. Just opposite results will be experien-
ced by a Jyeshta girl if she takes ,a
Sathayam boy as hef husband.
3. Mrigaseerisham -giri will Jose early
her husband born in Pooram.
4. So aiso Hastham girl should not
vehture to marry a Moolam boy.
5. Many children are born to Rohini
girls by marrying Makam boy..
6. Similarly, Poorattathi girl will be
the mother of many issues if her husband
is born io Rohini.
7. Aswini girls get dejected by having
many daughters, one after the other, by
accepting a Punarvasu partner.
8. Swathi girls give consolation to
Aswini girl as she also brings forth many
daughters as her husband would have been
bom in Uthiradam star (the 7th).
9. Revathi girls with Arudhra boys,
and Utbrapslfjuni girl with Jyeshta boys
do not lead a aappy life. There will be no
understanding among the couple. Gradu-
ally, they develop hatred and sooner
ox later decide once for all to be
ever enemical. A few will get separated.
In other countries, they will have frequent
divorces.
10. If the girl's star is Makam, she
will have children. But they will be
wicked.
11. Visaka girl will hate Sravanam
husband.
12. Sravanam girls will divorce Aswini
boys.
13. Uthirattadhi girls lose their hus-
bands early by marrying the boys born in
the 7 th star-
14. Uthiradam girls enjoy all the fruits
of life in this world by marrying the boys
born in the 7th star.
15. Pootvashada girls develop moi.
and more of affection towards their hus-
bands and lead a happy life.
, .-,46. Barani star girls, when fortunate,
take Pushyam star boys. . ..
Thus" Sage Kashyapa has given his
findings so .that one can boldly select or ..
reject the 7th star.
Aurrtee-s " Proverbs; Learned astro-
logers have observed that no evil result is
indicated whatever be the star of the Boy.
His star may be any one of the 27 stars.
There is no malefic effect.
But girls born in certain nakshatbras
indicate certain undesirable results. Such
stars are only four in number. They .are
Moolam, - Ashlesha (Kettai)-Jyeshta and
Visakam. Even then, only when Moon was
; in a particular pada or quarter of the
nakshatbra it is considered to be evil.
Danger to father-in-law is threatened by
Moolam first pada bride. Evil to mother-
in-law is indicated by Ashlesha 1st pada
girl. Jyeshta 1st pada bride is dangerous
to her elder brother-in-law. But Visakam
4th pada girl shows anxiety to her younger
brother-in-law. The other padas are not
harmful. That is all, what our sages have
said.
But certain wicked people compose
some dirty proverbs and reject the offer of
a bride born in any one of the 4 stars.
They do not consider anything else. Let
me quote one or two proverbs.
" Pen Moolam Nir Moolam ". That is,
girls born in Moolam star are very unfor-
tunate and wherever she goes, she will
take with her " Misfortune," In reality,
there is no Iruth in such proverbs.
They used to add " Aun Moolam Ara-
salum That is, boys born in Moolam
star will rule the kingdom. One in 27 of
the population will be born in Moolam
and half of them may be males. We do
hot know to which kingdom they are the
lords. Let us ask them whether they had
taken pains to verify a few cases at the
least We boldly say that actually the
-Moolam.bride is happy and rich whereas
the Moolam boy is leading a miserable
life. Moolam, girl is the landlady and
Moolam boy is .a servant. Moolam girl

man who walks on the tar road, in the hot
^ sun, even without chappals. Moolam boy
""sells his:$(ie's jewels to a Moolam girl
who purchases them fdr her.use.- - ^ ,
Let us pose some questions.
 Some boys lose their father immediately
after marriage. Have all of them married
girls born in Moolam ? Some boys com-
plain a lot of difficulties to their mother,
soon after their marriage. Have they
married the brides born in AsbJesha 1st
pada. A few say that they lost their elder
brother immediately after marriage, had
they married Jyeshta girls. Similarly
collect facts and consider. You will find
that the fathers-in-law passed away even
though the girls are born in all the 27 stars.
Similarly some lost mother-in-law, some
brother-in-law, and so on. Therefore to
attribute any such occurrences only to the
nakshathra of the bride is not wise. Sup-
pose a girl is born in Moolam first pada;
she marries a boy. Is it certain that her
father-in-law will pass away. Should not
his horoscope indicate that his end will be
immediately after hrs son's marriage with
a Moolam .girl ? If his horoscope promi-
ses long span of life, how can this bride
shorten it, by marrying his son ? If the
father-in-law does not die, will she adminis-
ter poison ? Are there not many Moolam
girls haying fathers-in-laws for many
decades after marriage ? Do girls born in
other stars promise long life tofather:in-
law.
Therefore, do not pay heed to all these
proverbs. To reject the horoscope of
girls born in Moolam or Ashlesha or
Jyeshta or Visaka is not wise. One has to
judge the whole horoscope and find out
the results. To sele6t or reject on any one
point, taking only Moon's position into
consideration is not correct.
A few exceptions;If the star of the
girl or the boy is either Mrigaseerisha or
Makam or Uthiram or Hastham or Swathi
or Anuradha or Uthrashada or Uthirat-
tadhi, one need not see dasaporutbam at
all. They can marry even when there is
no dhina porutham. etc. (Yet the special
rule to the 7th star is to be considered)

In our issue of June 1963, it was ex-

fixing "up the exact position of the 12

Now, we will explain how to find out
the planetary position for the above birth

The example taken here is the birth at

 including his Mind, and His Predicate is
the destined Karma, he has to accomplish.
The Universal Mind or Maya is insepara-
ble from the Supreme Power, for its exis-
tence is partly due to the Supreme Power
and Prakrithi Sakthi, and Supreme Power
itself is inseparable from the Static
Supreme Being. According to Vishnu
Suktha, the Supreme Being is situated in.
every conceivable particle of matter or
being, of the seen and unseen, heard or
unheard. So Man is made up of the
Subject, Supreme Being, (with its own
Parasakthi which is inseparable), his Mind
' (which is a combination of the Universal
Mind fraction and his own developed
tendencies by the application of his own
egoism) which is the Objectwhich includes
his material mould as well,and his Karma
is his Predicate. We use the word ' 1' to
connote possession of the body and the
mind when we say, it is my mind, and it is
my body. We do not identify I with
Body or Mind, and this sense of ' 1 * is
something alien to Body or Mind. This
refers to the Soul; the imaginary part of
the Supreme Soul, or the Supreme Ego.
That'I* is Reality, and is neither the
Mind nor the Body,, for it is the Supreme
Being and Supreme State, in which all the
Supreme Power is contained.
The different capacities of men anci
women physically,. intellectually, and
spiritually, though varying in degrees (as
may be easily deduced from analysis of
hundreds of horoscopes) and though in-
dividuals pass through different vicissi-
tudes of life, and experiences, yet Huma-
nity is a pattern by itself in the hierarchy
of Creation. Man is a miniature Universe,
in that, in his physical make-up, he has all
the characteristics and functions of every-
thing of the Objective Universe,.Prakrithi ;
he has a part of the Universal Mind; and
above all, he has the-'I', which as we
have mentioned is the Supreme State. That
would mean, that Man is at a particular
stage of the Divine Evolution in Man, and
is on the way to Absolute Divinehood,
the exact stage depending upon his own
realisation of the c 1
Further it is an interesting fact, that
cannot escape anybody's observation, that
24
in the hierarchy of Creation, there is a
certain sign of superiority or leadership in
every species and each species take direc-
tions or training as it were from the next
higher evolved being. Even among men,
some men are born leaders while others
follow. Of course that is ascertaining
tendency of the developed Ego; (if the
development is along the latitudinal, or
Objective direction), then Egoism is ram-
pant and if towards , the Subject, longi-
tudinal, then there is purity and power in
the right direction). Thus Man hasattained
a stage in the evolutionary ladder, that he
is in a position to carve the destiny of the
lower species, and even amongst them, the
more developed Ego is able to command,
lead and carve the destiny of the under-
developed. It must be noted in passing
that the Direction of Development of the
Ego,towards the Subject or Object is
the Most Important, as the following will
make the point clear.
Why should there be a gradation in
evolution, and what is the ultimate destiny
of all creatures?
The simple and most sublime truth is
the Realisation that *!' is identical with
the Supreme Being, when Truth is realised;
the Universal Sankalpa or Supreme
Destiny is to make every Jceva realise this
truth, and lead the same to Divinehood;
of Supreme Being, from which no Power
is dissociated.
Good and Evil (Papa & Ponyam):
Throughout the Science of Astrology,
which deals with Human Karmic reactions,
fortunes and misfortunes of individuals
are attributed to the good and evil done
by the subject in the past; and it is said
that these are reflected by the positions of
the planets in certain uncongenial houses
with evil aspects by the Krura grahas such
as Saturn, Mars, Rahu, Uranus, Neptune,
etc. With bad dasas of planets in debilita-
tion, and retro gradation, subjects of cer-
tain lagnas experience series of troubles,
difficulties, obstacles in respect of the
various houses of the horoscope, governing
personal health, wealthy profession, family,
children, debts and diseases etc. and these
are all common experiences. No question
 of any one saying "whether he believes
in Astrology or not; he will have proof
of his own experience of good or bad
during the times indicated in his horos-
cope.
We have mentioped in the foregoing that
Man has attained a special point in his
evolution towards Divinehood, the Ulti-
mate Sankalpa of the Supreme; that is to
-say, the ego, or 'the spark within' has
reached a particular plane, which gives
the Man, the capacity to enquire into his
environment and make deductions intelli-
gently from his observations, that he has
also attained a degree of discrimination or
Viveka in respect of his own position and
that of his neighbour by specific character-
istics of his own nature and those of his
neighbour. Further, there is a definite
individuality developed in each man, and
this individuality is the more striking the
more he is cultured and refined in tastes
and manners.
We have said that Karmic actions and
reactions are part and parcel of Maya
Existence or Relative Existence of duality;
if we consider these actions and reactions,
just as we might consider Heat or Electri-
city or Magnetism, then there is no'point
in classifying them as good or bad. . For
one thing, these Karmic forces are not,
purely material, but are a combination of
the Spiritual and Material; again, these
forces encircle and enclose the'spark'of
Divine, which is present everywhere; and
this ' spark ' or ego is on the ascent towards
Divinehood as its Ultimate Destiny, and
this spiritual phenomenon is reflected in
Man's mind in varying degrees according
tb his own degree of evolution in the same
human pattern, as Discrimination.
Man has developed a sense c enquiry
in and around him, and gets an inkling
into the Scheme of Cosmos, its scientific
and methodical workings, in the midst of
apparent diversity of all manifestations,
including members of his own fraternity.
He notes a progressive gradation in the
culture, refinement in the mental, moral
output of/ men and women and also the
developin *at of personalities, human and
divine ,no have the power to attract and
ho'' che individuals, and the audience.
25
We begin to see the hand of the Supreme
Destiny in carving out its Grand Designs,
and Avatars are no less than Divine
Personalities in mundane moulds, with all
the Truth, Peace and Wisdom radiating
from their very presence. This Divine
personality
ai + is developed
^ ically unconsciously and
on the subject, who is
vj^-^ntened with the Basic Truth of all
existence, of all karma, and whose fixed
Ego has shorn off of all its vasanas by
Wisdom, and who is always in communion
with the Supreme Ego, and who has under-
stood that *1' is the reflected Reality in
the living Being.
Discrimination of Viveka is the asset
with which Man is set in bis further
journey towards divinehood. It is the
compass by which the developed Ego in
Man is helped to steer the ship of his
being in the ocean of Samsara; the
Relative Existence of the Maya Kingdom,
where Karma is the Law. Discrimination
opens up two courses of action to avoid
whirlpools, storms, and undercurrents that
may sink the self to unfathomable depths;
the attractions of the objective environ-
ment on the individual, who has a mental
and material component, susceptible to
such attractions coupled with built-up
vasanas of the past cycles of births and
deaths, that unless the individual has deve-
loped a will to keep on applying discrimi-
nation, he may be all lost in the whirlpool;
we meanihat the individual may lose track
of bis path and may have again to trek
through labyrinths and circuitous routes
with great labour and discomfiture.
discrimination will enable the Searcher
after Truth to adopt either of the two
methods; to take the path indicated by the
Natural Law of Divinehood as the Ulti-
mate Destiny and adopt the process of
Yoga, the most mystic, simplest, and
easiest being Nama Yoga; another method
would be to steer clear of the compelling
environment of danger by conscious at-
tempts in the discharge of duties, and
performing all karmas in an unattached
manner. The first course is mystic, and
though faith in the Supreme is essential, it
is capable of bestowing its benefits and
lifting the dormant, fixed and tainted ego
to supreme heights of Evolution by shear-
ing off the vasanas even when one is a
disbeliever, but is persistent in application
of Nama Japa. For the same reason, even
if the man's mind is unsettled, confused
and disturbed, his sustained attempts to
remember the Divine Name always and
under all circumstances, gradually clears
the mind of all confusions, depression,
worry, and present before it enlarged and
enlightened vision of the Cosmos and its
workings, and a stage is reached when the
enlightened subject attains peace within
himself, and there is no doubt that passeth
bis understanding. The Divine Anesthetic
of Nama Yoga saves the patient all the
gruesome pains of operation of the Karmic
surgeon's knife, and leaves no after-effects
towards decay or deterioration. Nama
Yoga, while it enables the subject to
cross the path of Samsara quite uncon-"
sciously, nevertheless enlightens the subject
fully and thoroughly into all the intricacies
of Karmic existence, the pitfalls to avoid
the real meaning of moral laws, and ethical
values, Upanishads, Ten Command-
ments, Scriptures, Puranas and Ithihasas,
and the Truth underlying in all these expe-
rience of the Ancients. Nama Yoga
produces a Gnani, and the Gnani is cer-
tainly the Guru of the Karma Yogi. Nama
Yoga has the potency of the Supreme
Law.
We are all born as Karma Janmas, enve-
loped by Maya which is the kshetra for
encasing the ego or the ' supreme spark '
fosters it in this earthly existence, and
finally allows the spark to escape with dis-
illusionment partly or completely. The ego
is first of all encircled by the Universal
Mind or Maya. As the Supreme Power
goes on acting on the Universal mind, the
encased ego or the fixed ego, or the living
creature, as in Nama Yoya gets more and
more enlightened; that is noticeable from
the inanimate to the animate, and from
the insentient animal to the most developed
animal, the Man, who is further assisted
with the power of discrimination power of
direction, and power of improving himself.
All this time, the Prakrithi component of
which his material mould the body is
made, is also subject to the power of the
27
Prakrithi Sakthi of the Objective Universe,
setting up possessive instincts and deve-
loping animal nature. Thus at any mo-
ment, the fixed spark or ego is subject to
two powerful forces on opposite directions
and crossing planes'; Latitudinal objective
forces and Longitudinal subjective plane.
The Subjective Divine plane is eternally
stationary, so that we have to worry about
the latitudinal. forces only coming from
the Objective and Environmental; from
thaterial attractions and vasanas, that
gather round the 'Jeeva* trying to extin-
guish the ' spark* within, if the fixed ego,
the Jeeva, fixes his attention only on the
Environment and not on himself.
A very important spiritual phenomenon
marks the evolution of the Jeeva to Divine-
hood; to the attainment of the position of
Jeevan Muktha. In this connection, we
have to explain, what is Yoga and what
modifications do take place in the Karmic
and Gnana paths. We have also to under-
stand the distinction between Yoga and
Possession, as they are diametrically oppo-
site in their functions, and in the field of
their operation.
Possession connotes two parties partici-
pating. The Subject and the Object, the
former or the latter trying to possess the
other. Even inanimate objects, like money
and properties, possess the minds of the
individual subjects. In the case of deve-
loped beings like human beings, one may
be attracied to the other, physically by
animal magnetism, or mentally by intellec-
tual accomplishments, and one or the
other may like to possess the other physi-
cally and mentally, and treat the other as
ah article of value owned and used. Here
the Subject and Object are different physi-
cally in features, in shape, size etc., and
they may have different outlook on life
also. Still the attraction may take place.
Possession of"one by the other mutually is
more enduring than if-it were one-sided
where the desire to possess the other is
persisted by one party alone. Even in the
case of muiual attractions and mutual
possession, much misery is experienced if
one loses the other, and in the case of one-
sided possession and domination of the
other unwilling partner, who may be look-
 ing elsewhere for possessions, the conse-
quent tension produced in the disappointed
subject would be unrecountable.. Thus
possession is quite different from union,
the entire meaning of Yoga, and Yoga in
the accepted sense means only the union
of the Evolved Ego with its Super Self.
Possession being Karmic phenomenon, is
subject to the stresses and strains, suscepti-
bilities, doubts, and disappointments, dis-
illusionments of the Maya Sakthi. Physical
attraction and animal magnetism alone
may not sustain mutual possessions for
long, and mental incompatibility is a
powerful factor for disturbing the even
running of initial felicities. In many cases,
public scandal, vanity, involution of res-
ponsibilities by birth of children, and
economic necessities make the man and
woman, the Subject and Object, the
possessor and the possessed to maintain
an apparently calm domestic atmosphere,
withalloutward smiles in an under-current
of suppressed tensions. Only mutual ad-
justments, sacrifices, and understanding by
free and unrestrained exchange of thoughts
make the Subject and the Objectthe
possessor and the possessed, lead to a
sustained life of love and affection.
Union is the word that connotes a
merging in the Spiritual Plane of the Ego
and the Super Ego of the evolved Jeeva
or Soul with the Supreme Soul; it refers ,
to the attainment of the supramental plane
by the Soul, and its instantaneous dissolu-
tion with the Supreme Being. Here the
Subject and Object merge together, the
object being becoming critical with the
subject becoming the Absolute Being. Here
it refers, to the enlargement of the ' spark'
to become the whole Supreme Flame,
when considered in the same plane, burn-
ing off all dross of vasanas; alternatively
the moving away of the vasanas of shadow
from the enlarging enacting Enlighten-
ment. In whatever way it is considered, it
is the'spark' within developing into the
whole and the Indivisible.
Possession Is synonymous with a keen
urge.to own, and use eXcliisivclyYor bne-"^
self. The keynote is desire, and desires
spring up in the individual's mind by the
millions. In the field of Karma, it is
28
often stressed that Desires must be con-
trolled and limited, but this cannot be
achieved unless we analyse our own self;
our inborn traits and tendencies and
strong urges; how we react with regard to
other's desires, their possessions, and
acquisitions, and ambitions and achieve-
ments, even, under very provocating situa-
tions ; whether we are or are not disturbed
in our minds regarding our status, or
economic position, and in the fulfilment
of our desires on comparison with those
of others. Can we attain a state of mental
equilibrium without being the least affected
by depression, jealousy, anger, or despon-
dency ? And can we attain such a state in
the disturbing conditions of the modern
times when storms are raging fiercely in
and around every individual due to so
many causes amongst which our own
mental make-up itself is primarily respon-
sible to become ever more susceptible to
the tantalizing illusions and attractions of
the modern Environment.
We are not here preaching Ethics and
we are not crying down modern civilisation
with the many benefits bestowed on Man-
kind by Scientific advances, discoveries in
the fi^ld of Medicine, Nuclear energy etc.
They have no doubt made the individual
live more and more comfortably, though
the advantages of such advancement has
not sufficiently seeped through to the
whole of Mankind. But with all this, and
even if the advantages and benefits of all
discoveries, innovations, and inventions
are all distributed equally and equitably
can Man lead a life of equanimity? As it
is he is very much disturbed. Will the
possession of material benefits alone make
him lead a life of contentment? We can
definitely say the answer is a definite
Negative. Desires and urges for posses-
sions do not stop at any place, and are
never satiated, because of the very nature
of their origin; they emanate and operate
in the expanding Qbjective Universe, the
theatre of Maya or illusions, of strife,
struggle and disappointments, and dis-
illusionments, and it is the area of the
multi-millions, and above all, of Shadows-

Astrology is not so much in divining the
future with a utilitarian outlook, but
rather it is for examining the physical,
mental make-up and characteristics, 5that
have built up around the 'fixed ego, the
ieeva; it is intended for the analysis of
the self in relation to the Super Self; of
the environment of his birth, opportuni-
ties, circumstances concerning his self, and
32
examining the same in relation to his
Communal and National Karma; of the
past, casting its shadows on his onward
path as deep desires, urges, tendencies,
and tensions created by curses from the
illtreated victims of his past actions. As
the ego drifts more and more towards the
Objective, the Supreme light is getting
more and more split into multi-million
parts each getting enveloped by vasanas
unsatisfied desires and affinitiesnaturally
there is an increase in population, popu-
lation of weaklings, and of confused and
mentally deranged individuals, taking
birth aided by Nucleur release deforming
the lery physical features and mental
functions.
Thus the whole situation seems despe-
rate and nothing but a bleak future is
yawning its gruesome mouth for the living
and for those to come to life in this belea-
gured planet.
But there is one silver lining in the
clouds. It is possible that, inthesedays of
confusion and compulsion, when the indi-
vidual has lost all his individuality by his
own actions, and by the collective force of
his environment, when he has lost all
confidence to regenerate himself or correct
the degeneration of the environment,
awakening it is just possible for a general
spiritual upheaval and towards the Supreme
Reality by the disturbance caused in
Cosmic Conscience such as the assassina-
tion of the Leaders who work for the
genera] welfare and peace of Mankind.
There is likely to be a collective revolt of
man against forces of his grosser and
lower mind, and there is likely to be
simultaneous collective yearning for Peace.
'Sarve Janah Sukino Bavantu' will enligh-
ten their minds with its full 'meaning.
The body is perishable by age, decay
and death ; the mind is unstable, unsteady,
confused and unreliable and the only
static hold is Supreme Being reflected in
each individual as 11' the Reality. Hence
Subjective concentration on the Supreme
'I* by Nama Yoga is the safest method
for correct understanding of ourselves and
the Universd'. Without this correct know-
ledge, no correct action is possible, and
without right actions, no right results will
 Jesuit either to us or to others. Further,
every individual is linked to the other
fundamentally because everyone possesses
the 'spark' which is intrinsically insepar-
able, but separated only by bodies and
vasanas built up by each individual ego;
but as these vasanas are susceptible to
transformations, changes, and are shorn
off by enlightenment by the evolving ego.
, Certainly there is no difficulty in appreciat-
ing the identity of the goal and destiny of
all living creatures, who are in the Supreme
Sense, One, and who are many and diverse
only in the Objective sense.' This lays
down the Truth of the Law of Karma for
all to follow: Treat thy neighbour as
you would like to treat yourself.
The various Deities in the Hindu pan-
theon have their own Divine functions.
Thus Maha Vishnu is the Protector of the
Jceva from Maya Sakthi, the necessary
committanl of all Actions and Forces in
the theatre of the Universal Mind. He is
enveloped as it were by the Power of
illusion, and he remains detached as the
Supreme Being in Yoga, in Himself.
Mahalakshmi, is the Supreme Power, is
represented as occupying Vakshasthala,
His Heart, and Bhu Sakthi, the Adhara
Sakthi, (Nuclear Power) of Nature and
Supreme Architecture is represented as
standing separate from Him. The same
situation holds good for every human
being. His body, the material mould, is
under the domain of Prakriti Sakthi, His
'Ego' is in his being with the Supreme
Power; and his Mind is imaginary frac-
tion of the Universal Mind enveloping
him and modified in its contents by the
jcdividual's own karmaic potentialities.
By Nama Yoga of Maha Vishnu, the
individual ego attains the Supreme State
and as Maha Vishnu attains a State of
Detachment in the samsaia of Maya
Sakthi, and unaffected by the attractions
and disillusionment of this Power, which
is the concommittant factor for entrap-
ping the ego, fostering it as the close con-
sort, and finally bringing in disillusion-
ment to the ego, and enabling it to search
for the Real in itself, in the Subject,
making possessions vanishing, and union
Real.
When this Detachment is attained, the
evolved Ego loses all consciousness of a
separate existence, or separate self-directed
karma, but becomes the direct instrument
of the Supreme Being, which is certainly
the Supreme Truth and the Universal
Truth. This sublime result of Nama Yoga
is adumbrated in the Supreme Admoni-
tion to Mankind by Sri Krishna, when he

 MARS IN THREE SIGNS
(Scorpio, Sagittarius and Capricorn)
Mars owns two housesAries and
Scorpio. Aries is a fiery sign whereas Scorpio
is watery. Aries is a positive one but Scor-
pio is negative and feminine. The former
is barren whereas the latter is fruitful.
Mars, a fiery planet in a watery Sign,
will , be like coal. So you will have the
capacity to undertake any task and work
hard. You can accomplish much. Your
energy is stored. It does not go waste.
Since it is a fixed sign you will be firm and
determined. You will have opportunities
to show your executive power and origina-
lity. Just as the fire will burn
anything to ashes without any regard to
the feelings of others, so also, people having
Mars in Scorpio, during the period of
Mars, will be revengeful, rash, self-centred,
passionate, acute, and even diplomatic.
They will take up any enterprise with in-
tensity of purpose, and action. It is also
likely that they are liable to accidents and
tragic end. They may have romances and
they will be bold to go-a-head. Mars gives
long journeys. It shows that the partner
- will be helpful and one can gain through
him or her. Mars in Scorpio offers indomi-
table courage and inexhaustible energy. If
Mars is afflicted in Scorpio, one willbe very
passionate and addicted to solitary vice
which will sap the vitality.
Chemists, surgeons,'assayers, mechanical
or dam constructionengineers, navy officers
and such posts, needing dominant autho-
rity, will be the profession. Mars, when
afflicted in Scorpio, produces people who
are quarrelsome, unreliable, ungrateful and
most selfish. Accidents, drowning, severe
ill-health, surgical operation, bleeding piles,
fistula etc., will cause trouble.
. Mars in Sagittarius; Sagittarius is a
fiery, masculine sign. Hence, you wjll be
frank and generous. You will be enthusias-
tic,-iquick in .speech .or ..retort,-speedy in > -rafflicts, onc botn in Bharani or Mrigasiri-. '
action and of an active mind. These will
.34
offer you grand success. You will have
good humour, originality and independent
spirit. You will be a good conversationa-
list. You will appear well in the eyes of
your relatives and friends. You will have,
the desire to go on long voyages and study
philosophy and religion. You will be a
keen observer, and will have good memory.
You will be anxious to tell others your
experiences which will be interesting and
instructive. You will be a leader of out
door-games, and be a captain of a team.
Mars will sharpen and quicken your men-
tal and oratorical faculties. So you will
be a successful advocate. Also, explorers,
Surgeons, and mechanical workers are
born with Mars in Sagittarius. You will
hold a goodposition in the Defence depart- -
ment. Mars indicates gain through marri-.
age. The native is likely to have more than .
one union as Sagittarius is a dual sign. .In
business, you will have a few partners. In
any dispute, you will have success. Judges
and advocates are your benefactors. To
become the agent of a bank or the head of
any religious institution Mars in Sagitta-
rius is auspicious. If Mars is afflicted, there
will be difficulties by travelling. You can-
not have assistance from foreigners, where-
as there may be enmity. In the Court of
law, one unknown to you will appear and
give witness against your intersets. There
may be litigation to acquire your share of
property or profit in business. You will
miscalculate, overestimate your capacity,
trade beyond your ability, take undue risk
and thus, invite trouble. If Mars is afflicted,
you may not be friendly with brothers,
sisters and cousins. . If Saturn afflicts, that
particular brother or sister born in Saturns
star and Mars' sign Anuradha or in Saturn
sign and Mars Star, Dhanishta,'will dis-
agree with you and there will be the dis-
pute. If Jupiter afflicts, one bom in Visakam
4th pada will differ from you. If Venus
sham first half or Chithirai latter half will
 pick up quarrel. Thus you have to find,
which brother or sister will not agree. You
will have unorthodox ideas and you will be
sceptical.
Mars in Capricorn-Makara : This sign,
is owned by Saturn and is a movable or
charasign. Mars gels exhalted here whereas
Jupiter is debilitated.
Mars gives the .native courage* push a
go-a-head spirit, independence, self-
reliance, etc., you will never hesitate to
undertake any venture. You will be rash
and through your utter disregard of dan-
ger and risk, you will invite accidents.
You arc ambitious, and you possess good
organising ability. You are enterprising
and you desire to become popular, and
lead a public life. By your energy, you will
occupy a prominent position with autho-
rity, virtue and merit. You will be patient
and persevering. You will be at your best,
only when there is some obstacle. You
will be happy, only when there is a wide
scope of action. You ^yill command the
respect.and esteem of your pcv->..w,
owners, rich landlords, managers of
industry, estate brokers, C.T.D. officials,
Superintendents of Police, chief in the
military, administrative heads, and minis-
ters, are born with Mars exalted in
Capricorn.
Afflicted Mars causes difficulties through
colleagues and friends. People in power
will mistake you, find fault with you and
pick up quarrels. There will be a dispute
between you and your employees. You
will get irritated. You wilt be impatient
and will create enmity. There will be
opposition. Your honour will suffer. You
gain ill-repute and discredit. Your
parents, especially, your father may not
maintain good health. There may be
difference of opinion between father and
son. Do not be rash: conserve energy:
Proceed patiently. You can lead in which-
ever sphere you are.
 PLANETS-FRIEND OR FOE
Placets other than the luminaries, Sun
and Moon, own two houses each. One
Of them is considered as its day house,
otherwise called Moolatrikona house,
while the other is called night house.
Mars is the ruler of Aries and Scorpio.
The Moolatrikona house to Mars is Aries.
Venus owns Taurus and Libra and the
Moolatrikona house to Venus is Libra.
Mercury has Virgo as its Moolatrikona
house ; it gets exalted also here. Jupiter's
Moolatrikona house is Sagittarius.
Saturn's Moolatrikona house is Aquarius.
Moon, not only gets exalted in Taurus but
it is also its Moolatrikona sign.
Planets, in Moolatrikona are only next
in strength to exaltation ones, according
to Hindu System. There is nothing as
Moolatrikona jor Westerners.
As regards friendship and enmity, one
can memorise the following and ascertain.
Always one has to count from the Moola'
trikona sign of the planet, to find out its
friend or enemy. According to our sages,
" Swa, Swanthya, Dhi, Dharma, Swoch-
cha, Ayu and Sukhapals " houses are to be
"counted from the Moolatrikona sign of
the planet, i.e., 1,2, 12,5, 9 exaltation,
8lh and 4lh house lords are friends.
Generally the first house, i.e., the
Moolatrikona house, is one of the two
houses of the planet. But only in the
-case of Moon, Moolatrikona sign is
Taurus which is not owned by Moon but
it gets exalted in Taurus.
The owners of the houses 2 & 12; 4 and
8; 5 and 9 counted from the Moolatrikona
sign of a planet and the planet which gets
exalted in this Moolatrikona sign are
friendly, with it. Therefore it follows that
the lords of the other houses 3,6, 7, 10
and 11 counted from Moolatrikona signs
become the enemies of the planet
Silppose one wants to find out the
friends and enemies of Mars. Aries is the
Moolatrikona sigtf of Mars.- Hence lords'
36
of 2, 12, 4, 8, 5, 9 and that which gets
exalted in Aries are the friends of Mars.
Therefore Venus, lord of 2, Jupiter, lord
of 12, Moon, lord of 4, Mars, lord of 8,
Sun, lord of 5 and Jupiter, lord of 9 and
Sun who gets exalted in Aries are friends.
Enemies are Mercury, lord of 3, and 6,
Venus, lord of 7, and Saturn, lord of 10
and 11.
It will be observed that Sun and Moon,
each owning one house only, is a friend.
But Venus as lord of 2, is a friend and as
lord of 7 is an enemy. So he is Called a
Neutral.
Mercury is inimical as he owns both
inimical houses 3 and 6, and hence, Mer-
cury is definitely an enemy.
Jupiter, owning both friendly houses
9 and 12, is a good friend.
Saturn ruling both the inimical houses
10 and .11 is definitely an enemy.
Hence, if the planet owns 2 houses and
both are friendly, the owner is a friend,
also, if a planet owns 2 houses, and both
are inimical, the owner of these two
houses, is an enemy.
But if a planet owns a friendly sign (one
in 1, 2, 12, 4, 8, 5 or 9) and also another
sign which is either 3, 6, 7; 10 or II, then
this owner of a friendly sign and an ini-
mical one remains a neutral.
This is what is followed by the Hindu
Sages.
The following table gives the relation-
ship among the planets:

This is one of the Various factors to be
taken into consideration to judge the
strength of a planet.
. The result may be advantageous or
otherwise. To ascertain whether a planet
will offer agreeable results or not, needs
thorough analysis:
(a) . Whether the ascendant is strong
or the Moon sign is strong ;
(b) To which house, the planet is the
lord ; whether it is beneficial to
you or not ?
(c) In which house it is posited ?
(d) Whether it will improve the
matters indicated by the house
occupied by the planet;
(e) Whether it can offer to the full
extent, the matters indicated by
the house which it owns.
(f) Whether it is in 6, 8 or 12 to the
hpuseownedbyit or in favourable
odes.
(g) Whether it is in 6, 8 or 12 to the
Lord of Dasa, the lord of
Bhukti etc.
(h) Whether the aspect between a
planet and the Dasa lord and
Bhukti lord is beneficial or
adverse.
(i) In which constellation and in it,
in which sub it is, etc., are to be
considered.
The last four items are the most decisive
factors. The friendship or enmity by
nature and the temporary modification by
its accidental disposition in the horoscope,
are all very insignificant.
How, to judge the results of a planet
will be dealt with in the issues following.

Scorpio-Vrischika: Moon in the 4th
house will be in Dhanishta 3rd and 4th
padas or in Sathabhisha or in Poorat-
tadhi 1st, 2nd or 3rd pada.
When Moon is in Dhanishta^ during
Moon sub-period, you may borrow money
and go on a long journey or invest it on
landed property away from your place of
residence or serve somewhere and also
have higher studies. To your mother, it
gives cure for her ailments. Even if she
has a chronic disease, in the sub-period
of Moon, she will not suffer, but have it
under control, including blood pressure or
hysteria.

Moon in Poorattadhi 4th pada is not
auspicious to you. But your mother will
be fortunate. She may even gain through
lottery, etc., or come by a treasure during
the period of Mercury and the sub of
Moon. So also it is very good to your
wife.

may bring forth a lucky child. Your wife
may have promotion or receive substantial
amount from her parents.
Capricorn-Makara: Moon in Aswini

have happy domestic environments. Even
friends may keep themselves away, and
may not come forward to lend their assis-
tance to you. ' Your partner may be
confused in his business or profession.
Your mother will be worried at home.
She may meet with an accident.
Moon in Bharani promises fortune,
sudden unexpected gains, promotion,
popularity, prosperity, etc. To mother it
is auspicious to have satisfactory bank
position, good relationship with every
body. Wife also will be lucky to have a
new house to live in, and benefactors close
by, to help her and keep her always
cheerful.
Moon in Karthikai star is malefic to
you ; it will bring easy success and profit
to mother and promotion in service to
your wife. If she is not a career woman,
she may purchase some gold ornaments in
the sub-period of Moon.

indicates that you will have bank facilities,
that you will gain much, due to the loss of
the opponent, that you will win in election
or competitive examinations, and that you
will be assisted by Government servants.
Moon in Rohini, though exalted, is not
benefic to you, as it threatens ill-health,
debts and difiiculties. To your mother, it
is in a way good, as it shows short
journeys and also success in her attempts.
To your partner, it shows either separa-
tion or long journey during your Moon's
sub-period. Moon in Mrigasirisha star
shows that you may be transferred-, or you-
may have to go out on camp or become
an inspector or the leader in squad. To
your mother, it is not benefic. But to
your partner it is very beneficial; he will
go on long tour and have success in the
foreign place.
Fisces-Meena: Moon in Mrigasirisha

the native serves in a share market or in
any export import business or telegraph,
postal, mechanical, engineering or military
accounts. To your mother. Moon shows
that she will have a cure after surgical aid.
Moon in Arudhra will be good or bad
according to the position of Rahu.

Moon in Funarvasu star will help the
native to become suddenly rich, to be
popular, to have promotion, and to enjoy
grand success. To your mother. Moon is
equally beneficial. To your wife, it is still
better.
Thus, one has to read the detailed
results of Moon in the fourth house.
It is advisable to forget all the general
rules which are not applicable to most of
the people.
In our April issue. Moon in 5 will be
dealt with and the exact position of Moon
in the horoscope of prize winners,
successful speculators and lottery winners
will be given and explained.
 SATURN'S TRANSIT
Saturn between 23-3-64 and 12-4-64
passes on. to Rahu's star Sathabisha and
in that star the first sub governed by Rahu,
between 6 40' and 8 40'.
Those, who could have had Rahu in a
favourable position at the time of birth,
will be happy. They will enjoy peace and
prosperity. But if Rahu had been in a bad
position in the natal chart, one has to
exercise much care, to avoid difficulties.
Anyhow, from Tamil New Year's day
for some weeks, the time is very brilliant,
between 12-4-64 and 5-5-64. When Saturn
transits between 8 40' and 10 26' 40"
promotion, progress in one's undertakings,
partnership in business, gain through part-
ners, new customers, bulk orders, satis-
factory margin of profit, bankers' volun-
tary assistance, purchase of properly to
wife, if the native is a male or acquisition
of property by husband, if the person is
a woman, and good understanding
between the couple, and between the higher
authorities and the Gemini-borns are
promised. This is a very good period.
Between 5-5-64 and 15-6-64 and between
15-6-64 and 27-7-64 there will be uncom-
mon expenses, both pleasant and also un-
necessary ones. There will not be as
much enthusiasm as it was before. One
Will be very careful. Pick-pocketeers will
select only Gemini-borns. in this period
and deprive them of their holdings. Cashiers
have to be careful. A few will escape
such losses proceeding on leave. Lazy,
lethargic days do not permit to be reduced-
Business turn-over will be dull. Unlawful
actions will face difficulties. Minor injuries
and misunderstanding with old people are
threatened. Between 27-7-64 and 21-8-64,
the results will, be favourable and will
compensate for the previous bad period.
One may over-work. Yet there will be
good gain and satisfactory bank position ;
success in examination, admission in col-
leges for higher studies, and scholarship
are indicated, hlew. customers will increase
the income of the advocates. A' few- may

get into service. Extension of the building
and expansion of the business are indicated.
Agents of banks will feel happy on their
achievements. The period between 21-8-64
and 18-9-64 will be similar to that between
23-3-64 and 12-4-64; the period from
18-9-64 to 9-10-64 shows that the benefits
enjoyed during 13-3-64 and 23-3-64 will be
repeated but the amount of gain will be Jess.
The period from 9-10-64 to 25-11-64
will be similar to that between 8-3-64 and
13-3-64. Then one can have favourable
orders from the Government; contractors
will realise their profits. Agents show
much progress. Representatives will push
the products and increase the sale. Adver-
tisement bills will be received, and Bank
''position will be satisfactory. Health will
be normal, relatives and friends will be
frequently visiting. A good period
indeed! Contentment is necessary. The
time from 25-11-64 to 15-12-64 is a still
better period. Grand success, vast
improvement in status,pleasant purchases,
and gains with very little effort are
promised.
At the end of the year, results will be
brilliant for those who could have had
Rahu in a favourable position at the time
of birth.
CancerKarkata : This refers to peo-
ple born in Cancer as Ascendant or in
Punarvasu 4th Pada or Pushyam or Asb-
lesha star when Moon was in Cancer or if
the date of birth was between 17th'July
and I6(h August any year when Sun was
in Cancer.
Saturn passed on to Aquarius on
26164. It was in the sub of Mercury
up to 112^64. Between II264 and
18264, it is in Kethu sub.
For people born in Cancer, when Saturn
transits in Dhanishta star, as lord of 7
-and 8, passing in the constellation of
Mars, a Rajayogadhipathi, normally the
results will be brilliant. During, the sub
of only evil planets, the results will be
adverse.. ,
 Between IB264 and 7364, the
sub is ruled by Venus' a Bhadhaka
sthanadhipathi, and also lord of 4 and 9,
when Saturn moves from 2 40' to 4 53'
20" One may acquire a new vehicle;
occupy new quarters; or gain through
mother ; returns from investments will be
satisfactory; new friendship will be
formed: financial partners may assist;
gains through friends, and renewing old
friendship are indicated.
It also indicates that around ?nd and
3rd March, when Moon transits in Mars
star, health may not be alright.
Between 7364 and 13364, there very careful. You should avoid driving a
will be much of activity; you will concern
yourself more with financial problems.
Luckily, you will receive the arrears, your
bills" will be paid, your claims will be
approved, and you may expect promotion.
ITiis is a short period in which you can .
have many pending problems solved.
Government will be helpful.
When Saturn moves between 5 33' 20'r
and 6 40' it is under the, sway ,
of the sub lord Moon, who is the lord
of the sign Cancer. You are concer-
ned with your health, and the new
'efforts that you may make. You will
be contemplating, planning and sche-
ming. Health conditions ned rest.
Financial position will not be satisfactory.
You may have to pay many bills. In
business, you have to be issuing cheques,
whereas the receipts will be less. Those who
desire to go overseas, can have the
permission, etc. You may meet foreigners
and enter into an agreement.
On 23364, Saturn enters into Satha-
bhisha star and till 12464, it is in
the sub'of Rahu. Depending on Rahu's
position at the time of birth, the results
will be enjoyed. If Rahu had occupied
favourable position, and has to offer-
beneficial results, even though Saturn
may transit in ashtama, the unfavourable
eighth house, yet the results will be good.
You may not be satisfied or pleased. Yet
success ispromised. When Saturn transits'
in a favourable house, success will please
you. Tn evil houses-, though you are able -
to complete your undertakings, you do
not feel contented or pleased. Suppose,
you purchase one 'win'ticket, and one
'place' ticket in the races, when Saturn
transits in favourable constellation, and
in 8, your win ticket will pay 1,5 rupes
for every ten rupees you bet. But, when
Saturn transits in a favourable house and
star, ev=n though you have a * place'
ticket for Rs. 10, you will have a return of
Rs. 100 and more.. Thus, planets will
offer results.
If Rahu was in an unfavourable position
at the time of your birth, when Saturn
transits in Rahu's constellation, in the
sub of Rahu or Saturn, you have to be
car; you should hot venture to cross a
busy road; you have to observe hygiene.
Chronic sufferers will have the relapse of
the disease. Patients with heart disease,
and those, who suffer from general nervous
debility, should not exert much. It is
better to be on leave and be cautious.
Between 23364 and 12464,
when Saturn is between 6 40' and 8 40',
health will not be normal. There may be
misunderstandings with subordinates and
colleagues. Income will be reduced.
There may be ill-repute or scandal. Secret
inimical activities will come to light and
this will irritate you. Short journeys will
not be fruitful. Money will get entangled.
Between 12464 and 5564, you
will be able to accomplish some of your
desires. Bills will be paid. Receipts of old
arrears will improve your bank position.
You will come out successful in litigation.
Arrangement to go overseas may be made.
It is likely to have a short stay outside.
Your partner may fall ill, and you may
have to take him for treatment to a far-off
place. Your wife may lose her health, and
will need proper medical aid. Thus, in
this period, there will be grand success on
one side, and worry on the other.
After 5564 till 15th June, Saturn
proceeds in direct motion, and between
15th June and 27th July, by retrograde
motion. It is in the sub of Saturn:
you will feel dull. You become
pessimistic.- You. find much opposition.
Your servants may go on strike. What-
 ever appeals to you, now, will prove to
be delrimeatal. Avoid disputes. You
will: find that you are ool able to stick
to. any single programme. You may even
give up your principles. Business will be
discouraging. Health will be causing
worry or anxiety between I9th and 30th
June. Your attempts to .expand your
business will not be fruitful. You will
have to face'a lot of obstacles and impedi-
ments. Financial position will be very
tight.
Luckily, you receive Providential help
between 27764 and 21864, when
again, you are normal. You have success
in every walk of life. You will attend to
your work with zeal. Turn over in business
will be satisfactory. You will come out
successful in . litigation, or at least by
arbitration and compromise, you will get
rid of the worry. Cnildren will have grand
success. They will show vast improvement
47
in their status. They will have promotion
and prosperity. You will also gain by
speculation. Your partner .will show rapid
recovery. You will be, once again, enter-
taining hopes for further advancement in
your life.
Between 21864 and 18964,
results will be Similar to those you had
between 23^64 and 12464. Bet-
ween 18964 and 91064, you will
enjoy as much as you did between 13-3-64
and 23364. Between 91064 and
251164 better results, for a longer
duration, can be had, similar in nature, to
what you had between 8364 and
13364. Between 251164 and
151264, your health will cause worry.
After IS1264, Saturn offers the same
results as he did between 23364 and
12464.
For the other rasi borns results will
follow.
 Krishnamurti paddhathi
Let us pray Lord Ganesh to grant iis
grand success. May Goddess Saraswathi
bless us with wisdom.
We have thoroughly studied both the
Western and the Hindu System. We have
gained sound knowledge and to the best of
our ability applied both the methods and
in our experience, we have found that both
the systems are incomplete though not
incorrect. So Prof. K. S. Krishnaimurti,
Founder and President of the Modern
astronomical and astrological Research
Institute has done real intelligent research
work and has formulated certain rules,
which are based upon sound principles of
astrology; students will find this method
to be very simple and quick to follow;
also it is very convincing. To a great
extent, it completes the incomplete portion
of the science'.
Who copied whom ?
Some are under the wrong impression
that the Westerners borrowed knowledge
from the Hindus ; some others say that
the Hindus gained knowledge from the
Chaldeans, Hebrews, Greeks and so on.
"Bottfthc views are not correct. The
sages -and the scholars in each country
gazed at the stars thousands of years ago
and they discovered the relation between
the celestial phenomena and the terrestrial
incidents. They established some methods
to fix the position of planets in the Zodiac
a ad" the consequent effect on the animate
and inanimate objects on the earth. Each
followed" certain methods to predict the
events. If one has studied both the
systems, one will declare that neither the
Hindus followed the Westerners, nor vice
versa.
Suppose some students appeared for
. mathematics examination : copies of the
question paper were distributed to them.
All were answering them. The superin-
tendent caught hold of a student, called
him as one who had been copying the
ans.wers writ ten,by another.student, seated
in front of him. He took this student
48
and complained to the Headmaster that
he had been copying in the examination
hall. On enquiry, the student repeatedly
said that he had not copied at all. The
Headmaster called for the answer papers
of both the students and compared them.
He declared that the student had not
copied at all and the complaint was
baseless.
Why?
The student who was accused to have
copied had answered the I, 3, 5 and 7
quesfions in the question paper whereas
the other student had answered 2, 4, 6 and
8 questions. Hence, the headmaster who
had gone through both the papers alone
could know the truth. The superintendent
who saw this student writing fast, and also,
off and on, looking at the other student's
table, had mistaken him as both answered
the same Mathematics paper.
Similarly only when, one studies both
the Western and the Hindu systems, one
will confirm that the methods followed by
either is absolutely different from the
other. Let me explain a few points.-
1. Zodiac; For both, the Zodiac is
the pathway of the planets. But for
Westerners, the commencement of the
Zodiac i.e., Aries 0 retrogrades at the
rate of 1 in every 71 years whereas for
the Hindus, for astrological purposes the
Zodiac commences always at a fixed point
. which is about 180 from the Star Spica-
Chithirai. The Zodiac of the Westerners
is called Sayana Zodiac whereas that of
the Hindus is called Nirayana Zodiac.
Therefore as years pass on, in about 480
years, it will be found that the Sign Aries-
Mesha called by the Hindus will exactly
coincide with TaurusRishaba -by-the-
Westerners. The portion of the Zodiac
called by the Hindus as TaurusRishaba
will be called by Westerners as Gemini-
Mithuna and so on.
2. Mansions: Westerners have divi-
# .'ded the Zodiac into 12 equal parts and
call them as Solar Mansions or signs. So
also, Hindus have divided it into 12 equal
parts and call each division as a Rasi.
But there is the difference in the com-
mencement of the signs, as explained
above.
The Hindus have another method of
dividing the Zodiac. They have divided
it into' 27 equal parts and call them as
Lunar mansions, Nakshathras or stars.
The Hindus give greater importance to this
division. They have found that planets
transiting in the same sign but in
different Nakshathras cause different
effects. Just like, each rasi or sign is said
to be ruled by a planet, so also the
Hindus say that each star is governed by a
particular planet (e.g) Aries SignMesha
is ruled by Mars-Sevvai; Taurus sign-
Rishaba is governed by Venus Sukra;
and so on. This is common to both the
Western and the Hindus systems. But,
after discovering Uranus and Neptune, the
Westerners have allotted AquariusKum-
bha to Uranus and Pisces-Meena to
Neptune. The Hindus did not include
this allocation. As regards theNakshathras,
the first division commencing from Aries-
Mesha 0 is Aswini ruled by Kethu ; the
second is called Bharani governed by
Venus ; the third star is Karthikai, ruled ' in one's life and have advanced the study
by Sun ; the fourth Rohini, lord of which
is Moon and so on.
Day : The Hindus consider that a day
commences only from the moment of the
Sunrise in that locality and that it extends
till the next sunrise in the same locality.
The sun may rise at 4-30 A.M. or 5 A M.
or 7-30 A.M. If a child is born at
7-20/ A.M. and the sun rises only at
7-40 A.M. to that locality on that day,
then the child is said to have been born
oh the previous day. Suppose the Sun
rises at 4-50 A.M. and a child is born at
5-10 A.M., the Hindus consider that it is
born on the next day. They take the lord
of the day for judgment and it proves to
be correct.
Westerners do not attach value to the
name of the day. They follow only the
date which changes at midnight.
[That is why, when some astrologers
cast the horoscope of, a child born between
12 Midnight and the time of Sun rise, they
49
mention the name of the previous day but
give the date according to the Western
System which is a little confusing.}
Horoscope: While erecting a horos-
cope and offering prediction the Hindus
attach much importance both to the
houses and Navamsa 'positibn. But the
Westerners attach importance to the Signs
and Houses. They have no Navamsa "
chart at all.
I. Cusp of the Houses i.e., Bhavas:
Differ widely between Eastern & Western
systems of calculation. As it needs
exhaustive explanation, it will be dealt
with separately in the following issues.
Prediction Ududasa : Vimsbothari,
Ashtothari, Kalachakra dasa etc., are the
various dasas advocated by the Hindu
sages to predict'events in one's life either
to himself or to his relatives and others,
with whom he or she has transaction:
The Westerners have no dasa system at
all. *
Progression: There is no clear and
exhaustive method of " Progression " given
by the Hindu sages though it is simply
mentioned by only one sage. Westerners
follow'only this method to predict events
of this subject.
Transit: Westerners take the position
of Sun in the Say ana chart to offer transit-
results. The position of the transiting
planets is referred to the position of Sun
at birth. But the Hindus take the positidn
of the transiting planets and refer to the
radical position of Moon in the horoscope.
Further the Hindus give the results accord-
ing to the Sign occupied by the transiting
planet and not the house transitted by it;
but the Westerners take into consideration
both the sign and the house transitted by;-
the various planets.
Aspects: The Hindus are of opinion
that all planets aspect the 7th house
whereas Saturn has special glance on the
3rd, and 10th houses counted from the
sign occupied by it; Jupiter aspects 5th
and 9th houses from its position; Mars
aspects 4lb and 8th houses, counted from-
the sign it occupied.
But the aspects followed by Westerners
are calculated correctly.-. They call'that
the longitude between one planet and
another planet or one planet and the cusp
of one house if divisible by 22^, the
aspect is disharmonious,, harmful and
adverse. Also they say <cIf the longitudi-
nal distance among two planets or between
one planet and the ^tusp of another house
is divisible by 18 or 30 (except 90) is
considered to be harmonious, favourable
and advantageous.
Parents : Westerners consider that the
fourth house indicates father and the 10th
house the mother. But the Hindus take
the fourth house as the mother of the
person and the 9th house as the father.
We follow the latter which is found to be
correct. Our findings to establish that
the Hindu System is correct, will be
published when we deal " Houses
Strength : Hindus estjmate the strength
of the planets by Shadbala etc., after
i'aborious work whereas the method adop-
ted by the Westeners is very simple and
they do not have any such calculatiqn.
TAshtaka Varga ; Is a method followed
by the Hindus which is cot known to the
ancient astrologers of the west.
Thus, many instances can be given to
show that each follow their own system
which differ much from the other.
(Yet knowledge of both the methods
wiUTriinimise percentage of the incorrect
predictions.)
Astrology is an incomplete but not an
incorrect science. Krishnamurti Paddha-
thi contributes important information and
advances simplest methods
(a) Why both the methods are con-
sidered to be incomplete etc.,
(b) How to ascertain the favourable
and the unfavourable disposition of
planets,
(c) What nature of results one can
expect from a planet,
50
(d) The exact time when they will be
experienced,
(e) To predict the different results
enjoyed by twins bbrn in the same loca-
lity, but with an interval of few minutes
even though the ascendant, Lagna is in the
same sign, the position of planets in the
Zodiac, in rasi, in Navamsa etc., remains
the same, the dasa and bhukti is similar
etc. As per progression the aspect among
the planets will also be similar. So, it
would be a problem both for Hindus and
Westerners (i) to estimate the longevity
of each as in some cases, either of the
twins passes away early in infancy and the
other lives long, (ii) one gets married, the
other remains unmarried, (iii) one has
sterling character whereas the other is
always after the opposite sex, (iv) one has
children, the other has to adopt, (v) one
enters Government service, the other takes
up business, fvi) one is a lawyer, the other
is a surgeon, and so on. The common
aspects are (a) the same mother, father,
uncle, aunt etc. But the number of
brothers and sisters will vary in those
instances where one of the twins is a male
and the other a Female.
Astrology can be declared as a science,
only when these differences can be
explained properly, at least after knowing
the results. It will be considered to be a
perfect science, if it is made easy and the
students having the ardent desire, under-
stand it thoroughly, apply it properly and
offer correct predictions. Herein comes
the need for further research.
Sri Krishnamurti Paddhathi improves
the present available methods of predic-
tion and to a great extent satisfies the con-
sultants as it enables one to offer precise
predictions, even in the cases of twins
born at an interval of a few minutes.
Indeed, it is simple : It does not entail
any laborious work. Very quickly, the
nature of the planets can be ascertained.

 VENUS-SUKRA
THE FORTUNATE BR1GU
Goddess of Love and Beauty
Astronomy : Hindus considered Venus
as the most brilliant planet even at the
dawn of history, even though it appeared
some monthsasthe evening star, and some
months as the morning star. But by other
nations, Venus was given two names Phos-
phorus and Hesperus, as they thoughtthat
the morning star Venus was different from
the evening star Venus. But around 500
B.C., Pythagoras, the great Groek geo-
meter, confirmed that both the morning
and the evening stars are identical.
Venus presents a brilliant disc especially
in the early morning, when the agricul-
turists in the villages begin their routine
work in the lands and the Vedic Brahmins
begin their daily routine prayers, etc.
Venus Is the brightest planet and it can, at
her best, outshine Sirius, by 12 to 13
times.
Venus is much closer to the Sun than the
earth. Therefore, on some occasions, Venus
will be between Earth and Sun, and on
some occasions Sun will be between Earth
and Venus. The average distance between
the Sun and Venus is 67 million miles.
The variation is very little, as the orbit of
Venus is almost circular. The distance
between Earth and Venus, during inferior
conjunction, will be only 25 million miles.
The size of Venus is similar to that of the
Earth. Venus has a diameter of 7,600
miles, while that of the Earth is 7,900
miles. Its period is 225 days. The atmos-
pheric layer around Venus is thick, pecu-
liar and fascinating. The brightness of
Venus is. due,to the, reilecting power of its
atmosphere.

For the observers on the earth, Venus
can never be more than 48 degrees from
the Sun. Therefore, when Venus is the
evening star and is 48 degrees away from
the Sun, we can see it in the heavens for
about 3 hours and 12 minutes after sunset.
Mythology : Venus is considered to be
the Goddess of love, marriage, beauty and
comforts. It is called Maha Lakshmi,
wife of Lord Vishnu. Venus is also called
as one-eyed. The story is to impress upon
the mind that if Venus is ill-posited, the
eye will be affected,
Bali Chakravarthi was ruling both the
Earth and the Heavens. The Devas and
Indra appealed to Lord Vishnu to free
them from Maha Bali. So, Lord Vishnu
took the form of a dwarf. He approached
the emperor Bali and begged him to give
three feet of land for his use, Bali had a
wise preceptor, named Sukrachariar. The
Guru understood the trick of the Lord and
hence advised the emperor not to grant
the request. In spite of it, Bali granted
the request by pouring water in the hands
of Lord Vishnu appearing in dwarf form.
Sukracharya blocked the passage of the
water by one of his eyes. Lord Vishnu
took a grass and pierced through the eye
of the Guru as though he was removing
the obstacle. Thus Sukracharya lost an
eye,
Venus is also known as Lucifer and
Hesperus. Greeks call it the Aphrodite;
the Babyloni ans^^l it NAN A; the
Hebrews named it as^Tstorethi Assyrians
called Venus as Isktar and the Phoenicians
 Venus rules Yajur Veda and Vasantha
Rithu (April and May). Venus is called
Kama, for one's passion depends on the
strength of Venus and the aspects it
receives, as Venus is chiefly concerned
with the emotional outlets and character.
Astrology: Venus is a feminine planet. It
rules the signsTaurus-Rishaba and Libra-
Thuiam, the second and the 7th signs of
the Zodiac. The former is an earthy an d a
fixed sign, whereas the latter is anairy and
a movable one. Being a feminine planet,
it governs the gentle and refined attributes.
That is why people, ruled by Venus, are
kind and sociable. Taurus suggests that
the native will be endowed with a pleasant
and handsome countenance, as it is the
second sign of the Zodiac; for the second
house indicates one's cheek, eyes, etc.
Libra shows that one will have symmetri-
cal form, graceful manners, will be inclined
to purchase peace at any price, and
level-headed and will try to lead a happy
and harmonious wedded life- By their
pleasing personality, calmness, patient
hearing to what others say, and refined
nature, tbey will soften the ruffled feelings
of others, change their attitude and prove
to be real peace-makers. Also Venus fur-
nishes the bond between all members of
- the family, whatever may be the relation-
ship. ..Libra, being the seventh sign of the
Zodiac, Venus shows Love. Mr. Max
Heindel says, "Venus vaunteth not her-
self, is not puffed up, seekcth not her own,
rejoices not in iniquity but in truth,
beareth all things, believeth all things and
endureth all things."
Venus gets exalted in PiscesMeena. Its
Moolatrikona sign is LibraThulam. It
gels debilitated in VirgoKanni, Aries
and corpio are the houses of detriment
to it.
Pisces is the 12th sign of the Zodiac.
12th house indicates Suka Sayan a, or
conjugal bliss. Hence, strong Venus in a
chart is a testimony that the native will
have attraction to the other sex early
in his life; also he will have attrac-
tion,-to,.. aJL matters contributing for
amusement and gratification of the senses.
4
Pisces is a dual sign. Hence, plurality of
persons is likely. This is promised in
those cases, where they have the conjunc-
tion or aspect from both the planets. Mars
and Saturn, as Saturn is to deviate from
the man-made law and Mars is to give
opportunity, courage and strength to
avail. In Taurus, Moon gets exalted,
whereas in Libra, Saturn is exalted. No
planet is debilitated in Taurus; but Sun is
debilitated in Libra. This is a testimony
that Venus is for Iha-Loka-Sukha and it
can bestow on one all comforts, enabling
one to lead a pleasant life in this world.
Physical Features; Venus produces
people of average height, plumpy body,
round and dimpled face, or oval and very
attractive one, bright, kind and pleasing
eyes, pleasant voice, sweet smile and curly
hair. If Venus is afflicted adversely,
it bestows less beauty. Generally,
Venusians are the winners in any
competition, especially when they apply
for the reception department, as private
secretary, salesman, propagandist, etc.,
other than the occasion, when a choice is
to be made among a few competitors for
marriage.
Part of the body : Venus governs eyes,
generative system, throat, chin, cheeks,
kidneys, etc.
Diseases: Affection in the eye, irregu-
larity in the catamenia, diseases of the
ovaries, mucous diseases, skin disease,
Bright's disease, cysts swelling, Goitre,
Gout, Anaemia, and other complications
due to over-indulgence in amusements,
eating, drinking, etc:, including Gonorrhea
and Syphilis. If Sun and Venus get afflic-
ted, eye disease will result.. If Mars,
- Moon and Venus are ill-posited in a horos-
cope, then the native will have discharge
for a larger number of days and the quan-
tity also will-be profuse. - -
If Saturn afflicts, then the discharge will
be scanty, but the pain near the chest and
the lower abdominal region will be for
some days before and after the period.
If Mars, Venus and Sun are afflicted,
^ithen the-native will have to undergo treat-
ment by a surgeon to have a child.
 If Saturn afflicts Sun and Venus, one may
have fibroid tumour. Jupiter, afflicting
Sun and Venus, indicates cancer.
If Mercury afflicts by the semi-square or
semi-demi-square aspect with Venus, one
may have nervous disorders which may
Jead to Hysteria.
As Venus represents the beauty of the
"Skin, when afflicted by Saturn or Kethu,
one will suffer from Eczema, Leprosy or
Leucoderma.
Thus, considering the adverse aspect to
Venus, one is to judge the nature of the
disease.
Injuries may be caused by an accident
through any vehicle, car accident, plane
accident, cart running over one, cycle, etc.
They may also be caused through the
animals and the birds which are governed
by Venus, e.g., panther, bull, cow, buffalo,
goat, etc. Those, who have been keeping
birds and animals as hobby, may have
dove, peacock, sparrow, etc.
Plants and Herbs: Cotton, pome-
granate, gooseberry, sandal, dandelion,
jasmine, musk, punugu, nutmeg,
condiments, Asofcha tree, cherry, white
poppy, chestnut, fig, apple, and all juicy
and tasty fruits, rubber, tobacco.
Places: Bed room, dancing and
dining room, cinema theatre, drama hall,
garden, nursery, fountains, banqueting
hall, scent manufacturing factory, auto-
mobile industrial places, shipping yards,
aerodrome, etc., chemical industrial areas,
silk and rayon industrial quarters, mica
mines (if Saturn is conjoined with, or
aspecting Venus), glass manufacturing
places, etc.
Political: Cease fire, peace, prosperity
in the country. No more necessity for
control or permits but opportunity for
Free Trade. Laws favourable for trans-
port, railway, shipping etc., for cine
people, musicians and ladies, expansion
programme and export facility for silk,
textile, rayon, toilets, perfumeries, mica,
'themicals;-cinema films, women welfare,
etc.
5
Economic: Satisfactory ,
good relationship among the partners and
shareholders. Issue of bonus shares.
Improvement of the industry and much
prosperity. Rise in the prices of the
shares. Floatation of new companies
dealing in any of the products, governed
by Venus.
Products: The finished goods of the
textile, silk and rayon products, silver,
copper, glass, mica, toilets, perfumery,
fancy goods, photograph films, hosiery
for ladies, confectionery, sandalwood oil,
fruits, flowers, sugar, chemicals, rubber,
cars, ship, aeroplane, embroidery, tailor-
ing machines, musical instruments, radio,
paints, milk, petrol, etc.
Profession: Musicians, g a m c s t er s,
cinema actors, actresses, film producers,
etc. Similarly in drama, dealers in
musical instruments and in all the products
mentioned above. Those employed in
transport, automobile, railway, bus, taxi,
lorry, air travel, shipping, food depart-
ment, animal husbandry, slaughter house,
agriculture estates, coffee, tea, rubber, etc.,
opticians, glass, mica and plastic, linen
drapers, tailors, painters, jewellers,
players, embroiderers, those employed to
make-up, dress, comb, etc., fiddlers, pipers,
engravers, perfumers, diamond and white
stone dealers, pimps, etc.
If the second house is strong, and Venus
indicates one's profession, he will be a
vocal musician, a singer, or poet as Venus
is called Kavi.
If the third house has connection with
Neptune and Venus (who is the significator
for one's profession), he will be using
string instruments. If the sign is a short
one as Aquarius, he will be a fiddlist.
But if it is Gemini or Libra, a sign of
Long ascension, he will have Veeoa. If
Venus is in the third or the ninth house
and is having beneficial (18 degrees, 30
degrees, 36 degrees or 60 degrees) aspect
from Mercury, and if either is in an airy
sign, he may be good in Flute or Nagas-
waram. Short sign like Aquarius indicates
iFIutc.._ Long signs show Nagaswaram.
 Watery signs portray fertile imagination
and he may be interested in Jaladha-
rangam.
A strong Mars, receiving good aspect
from Venus, shows that he will be
aquainted with Gatam.
Saturn, Venus and Mars indicate that
he will be an expert in Mridangara, as
Mars is for manual labour, Venus for
skin, Saturn for the dead and hence, Venus
and Saturn for leather. Therefore this
combination is necessary for them. Thus
the trade or profession, in which one will
be proficient, can be predicted.
Rulership:
Venus is called KALATHRA KARA-
KA, i.e., he is the chief governor for
marriage. It shows whether one will be
faithful in love and allow the partner to
enjoy life, or one will be trouble-some and
unreliable making the married life a hell
on earth.
Venus also indicates the partner in busi-
ness, if it has any connection" with the
second, sixth and tenth houses in the
horoscope.
Venus is the chief planet connected with
vehiclesVahana, The fourth house and
Venus indicate whether one can have the
comforts through conveyance, etc. It is
Vahana Karaka.
For those born during day time, Venus
is the Karaka for mother. (The fourth
bouse and its lord also signify mother.)

and so on.

Modification and Aspects to Venus:
Sun's aspect to Venus: As Venus is
never more than 48 degrees away from
the Sun, the only aspects which can be
formed with the Sun are :
1. Conjunction when both are to-
gether either within 12 degrees
when Venus approaches the Sun,
or within 17 degrees when Venus
gets separated from the Sun.
(Good)
2. Parallel: Equal distance from
the celestial equator north or
south; or one north and the
other south. (Good)
3. Vigintile ; 18 degrees away
which is moderately good.
4. Semi-demi-square when both of
them are 22 and a half degrees
away which is evil.
5. Semi-sextile when they are 30
degrees apart which produces
favourable results due to harmo-
nious aspect.
6. Semi-quintile or decile, 36 degrees,
will be the longitudinal distance
between them which is also a
favourable one.
7. Semi-square or 45 degrees dis-
tance between them which is evil.
Thus seven aspects are possible
and according to the aspect, one
can expect beneficial or adverse
results in their joint periods; i.e.,
in their dasa and bhukties and
also when they form aspects
during progression and transit.
For those who have Venus as ruling
planet, Sun, forming good aspect with
Venus, indicates that the native will be
delighting in sociability, pleasure, easy
life, comfort, luxury, clubs, societies,
^places of;entertainment, etc. * One will be-
fond of company, especially of the oppo-
site sex. He or she will be hospitable. It
gives a generous, courteous and cheerful
nature. It calls out the artistic nature.
It makes the person fond of art, music
and poetry. It is a positive testimony of
unalloyed marital bliss. If Venus indi-
cates one*s earnings, good aspect promises
gain of money through business partners,
wife or husband, through profession,
speculation and holding public office.
There will be success in every enterprise
with fresh opportunities for increase in
income and improvement in status. One
will enjoy good relationship with one and
all. Good aspect promises that one will
be a successful musician or a film produ-
cer.
Sun and Venus in close conjunction and
also occupying the 5th, the 7th, or the 9ih
house, indicates either the wife is defective
or she may have some disease in the gene-
rative system.
Adverse aspect indicates that one will
be amorous in nature. There may be
delay in marriage or disappointment.
Happy and harmonious life is denied All
the beneficial results mentioned for favou-
rable aspect will be absent, whereas just
opposite results alone will be experienced.
Domestic life will not be pleasant.
For a few, it will be a problem. The
extent to which it can do harm, depends
upon other bad aspects also.
The above results will be experienced
in their mutual dasas, bhukties and antha-
ras. If Sun happens to be the significator
of marriage, the partner's star may be
Karthikai or Pooram.
Moon forming good aspect with
Venus : The person, who has this beneficial
aspect and to whom Venus is the ruling
planet, by being born in one of his signs or
in an Ascendant with Venus strong therein,
will, by nature, be polishod and refined. He
or she will be inclined to develop art and
will appear beautiful by their neat dress and
also by the use of fragrant scent, powder,
etc. to a limited extent. They will be fond
of music, pleasure, light literature, cinema,
4 drama, .and other-.entertainments. They
will be affectionate and attractive, gentle
and good, sociable and sympathetic. They
will be treated with respect in the company
of young poople of the opposite sex. If
8
Venus is the significator of his or her earn-
ings, it promises splendid earnings, proba-
bility of rich inheritance through mother
or wife or both, possession of luxurious
and costly articles, furniture, and vehicles,
etc. Naturally, the intelligence and imagi-
nation will get improved, and this will
contribute to the happy and harmonious
life. The following proverb will prove
to be true in their cases. " The
gown is hers that wears it, and the
world is his who enjoys itThey may
have satisfactory earnings, by catering to
public tastes and needs, by running confec-
tioneries, restaurants, boarding and lodging
houses; or dealing in perfumeries, music,
cinema, petrol, transport, shipping, etc.
One will not over-indulge in pleasures, nor
will be careless in habits and manners. The
relationship among the partners will be
very cordial; they cannot suffer scandal
and unpopularity. If Moon is a significa-
tor of marriage, the partner's star may be
Rohini and 23rd May to 6th June will be
lucky. Adverse aspects will give the most
undesirable results and will make the
native's life horrible and not worth living.
Mars forming good aspect with Venus:
Mars owns Aries and Scorpio, while Venus
owns Libra and Taurus, both opposing
each other, as both the planets arc antago-
nistic in their qualities. Mars represents
masculine, bold, militant, and rash action,
while Venus indicates peace, harmony,
calmness, and courtesy. Hence this aspect
portrays that one will be courteous, well-
behaved with pleasing manners and
attracting all by his personal charm. It
gives courage and confidence. One will
be fond of adventure, amorous and ambi-
tious. One may be proficient in instru-
mental music. His hobby may be to deal
in cars. He*inay"be extravagant.
Mars aspecting Venus promises
greater earning capacity and ability; it will
not all ow him to save as much as one who
has the good aspect of Saturn to Venus.
; Mars ? gives enough of. euergy,.,authority,,
responsibility, tact, push and activity' If
Mercury also forms good aspect, one will
not mind spending money on advertise-
ment, display, show and propaganda.
 Also they are the patrons for most of the
clubs, societies, sabhas, etc. They will be
able to make good gain through sports; by
being good sportsmen, they may get lucra-
tive posts in any office, though they may
not be fully qualified for it, practical artis-
tic ability or mechanical skill, automobile
engineering, tailoring, singing, dancing,
owning cinema theatres, or producing films,
salesmanship, dress, jewels, ornaments,
diamonds, textiles, photography, agricul-
ture, coffee and tea board, etc.
Adverse aspect of Mars to Venus leads
one to immoral life. But rivalry, spite and
jealousy create many enemies and life will
not be smooth. Passion cannot be
controlled. Due to rash and violent action,
there may be separation and dispute. It
may even end in divorce. Saturn also form-
ing evil aspect, will lead to the murder of
the other partner. Worry through women-
folk, over-indulgence, deranged health,
loss of money, scandal and ill-repute are
the unfavourable results. A few may meet
with accidents through conveyance.
In the case of those who have good
aspects, if Mars is the significator of
marriage, the partner may be born in
Bharani star or Mrigasirisha first half or
Chithrai second half and the lucky period
may be between April 26th to 10th May,
between 8th June and 14th June, and bet-
ween 17th October and 23rd October.
Mercury forming good aspect with
Venus: Mercury and Venus can never be
more than 76 degrees apart. Therefore
they can form only a few aspects which are
moderate in strength in giving the results.
The strong aspects like square and trine
cannot be formed.
Good aspects make the native good-
natured. They will keep all the members
cheerful by their pleasant and humorous
talk; they will be good artists, developing
taste in fine arts, music, etc. They will
have keen imagination and proficiency in
literature. Sanitary Engineering, poetry, smooth life for a long number of years are
"comedy drama-wfiting, and will have.con->. also .pi^saged.,.
tact mostly with literates. They will not
hesitate to stand surety for anybody with-
out getting entangled later.
9
They will have plurality of interests and
will gain money mostly as agent, salesman,
broker, manager to ladies well-placed in
life, or as assistants to actresses, musicians,
etc., or by playing second fiddle and ever
pleasing the employer, as sanitary engineers,
electric light and fan dealers, etc. If
Saturn also forms favourable aspect, the
natives will deal in Frigidaire. Mars, by
lending its beneficial aspect, indicates that
they may deal in electric heaters, motor
batteries, etc.
If there were to be adverse aspect, the
native should never stand surety to any-
body, nor sign cheques, etc.# without
properly scrutinising it. Mental worry
and ill-repute are threatened. Any confid-
ential letter written to an intimate friend
belonging to the opposite sex will fall into
the hands of others, and the secret activi-
ties will be revealed. As Mercury represents
the postal authorities, the letter may^.be,
by mistake, delivered to a wrong person1 or
at a wrong moment. If Jupiter is not
favourable, one may be sure that one day
or other, the person will have to pay
penalty to the Income-Tax department,
especially during the joint periods of
Mercury and Venus.
Jupiter forming good aspect with
Venus : These two planets are the bright-
est and are very strong benefics by nature.
Hence, the persons will be polite, dutiful,
honest, chaste and faithful. Thsy will have
faith in occult science, in God, etc. They
will follow tradition and will never dare
to break the law, nor will they contribute
to breach of peace. They will cultivate
universal love, both brotherhood and
-sisterhood. They will be just in their
actions, and very hospitable. Charity,
purity, piety, equity and equanimity are
bestowed on the persons having this
beneficial aspect. One will have the desire
to have higher studies with facility and
opportunity to study. Success is also
assured in their ventures. Good health and
One will be able to get a good financier,
who will be honest and ever helpful.
 Much gain and success in business are
assured. One can prosper in a court of
law, income-tax, sales tax, etc., bank,
women's college; honour and reputation
will be on the increase ; one may become
the trustee of a temple ; director of any
company dealing in luxurious commodi-
ties, manager or cashier in the Transport
department. By marrying one in high
circle, one's position and finance will
suddenly improve. One can enjoy all
fruits of life in this world and also be
pious and God-fearing; useful investments,
rise in career, birth of child, and good
luck are indicated.
If Jupiter happens to be the significator
of wife or husband, she or he may be horn
in Poorvashada star or Visakam first three
quarters in Libra sign. The lucky period
will he between 26lh December to 10th
January, or 7th November to 17th
November.
Saturn forming good aspect with
Venus : The native will consider deeply
before launching an enterprise. Fertile
imagination and far-sightedness, steadiness
and perseverance, honesty and sincerity
will make one very good to plan and
.scheme. The native will, hold any
responsible position of trust. He will
meet all expenses which are reasonable.
He will be economical, prudent, and fru-
gal, and notmiserly. Legacy through marri-
age, gain through investment on lands,
garden, nursery, stocks and shares, business
relating to coal, mine produce, leather, skin
and hides, cotton textiles and prosperity in
mine-engineering, etc. Good aspect of
Saturn to Venus shows marriage in proper
age and also mutual love between the
couple. But adverse aspect will threaten
either with delay in marriage, denial ordis-
appointment, or both the partners may
seek satisfactory pleasure with strangers,
old people, widows, widowers, etc. The
moral backbone will be lost. There will
be financial loss, domestic worry, separa-
tion, bereavement, disappointment, etc.
Ill-health, eczema, venereal troubles and
leprosy. Will be, .contracted. There will be
great difficulty in inheriting property.
There may be the appointment of a
guardian. Or the father may write out a
will and leave the property in the names
of the person's children and will deny the
native all rights. The native's position
will be lost. There will be scandal.
Reversals and downfall are certain. Even
good friends will shun the native's society.
One may be charge-sheeted for bribery,
dishonesty, falsification of accounts,
favouritism, etc. One may be prosecuted
for debauchery or drink. The native
may have litigation, and divorce the
partner.
Generally, those, who have the bad
aspect between Venus and Saturn, will first
have a spectacular rise in life, and finally
they will suffer from a greater fall.
Saturn represents grave. So, the evil
Saturn will sec that the person is one foot
in the grave.
..Venus receiving good aspect from Rahu
and Rethu: As Rahu and Kethu do not
own any sign, find out in which star and
in which sign they are. The lords of the
star and the sign are to be considered.
Consider as though the lords of the star
and the sign are individually aspecting
Venus. Both the results will be enjoyed,
especially in the period of Rahu or Kethu
and the sub period of the lord of the star
and the sign during Venus Dasa or Venus
Bhukthi.
Venus receiving good aspect from
Uranus: The person will have an attrac-
tive personality. He or she will be excee-
dingly magnetic, especially to the opposite
sex. The native will also attract a host of
friends who are in power and who will be
helpful to him. In any competition, he
will come out successful due to his magne-
tic and charming personality.
Mentally he will be always alert, active,
bright, intuitive, quick and also inspiratio-
nal, This aspect gives love of art, music,
poetry, discovery and research; when the
native meets a person suddenly, he will fall
in love with him or her and be happy as
though Gandharva Vivaham has taken
place ; Uranus will assist him or her by this
aspect. For very quick and sudden consum-
mation, this favourable aspect is
needed. One will be much attached to the
other as the eccentricity of Uranus is
toned down by the soft and peaceful
Venus.
Marriage will be a happy and harmoni-
ous one. There can be no trouble or
jealousy through courtship or wedding.
One will not be so hasty as to commit a
mistake and divorce later, like Dhusyantha
who ought to have had both the beneficial
aspect of Uranus to Venus and also evil
aspect from Mars and Saturn to Venus.
Railway, air travel, research, fine arts,
investments speculation, etc., will be the
sources through which one will be able to
make money. It is also likely to have a
windfall when Uranus forms again good
aspect with Venus during its transit, and at
the time when Venus dasa or Venus bhukti
and a favourable sub period operates.
Venus receiving good aspect from
Neptune : The person will be versatile ;
Neptune gives fertile imagination and deep
emotions. He will be pure and will main-
tain a sterling character, provided there is
no evil aspect from Mars and Saturn to
Venus. Neptune indicates that the partner
is reliable and faithful, mostly due to the
kindness, sympathy and love. One may
have interest in the mystical subjects, or be
a successful speculator or a good musician,
if Neptune is in the 5th house. Neptune
11
gives proficiency in instrumental music,
especially, stringed ones. One will be able
to produce very fine, sublime, melodious
and pleasant notes, especially when one
does Raga Alapaoa. For Swaram, Mer-
cury also must form good aspect.
Cinema film producers are very successful
through those pictures which are released
at the time Neptune, by transit, forms
strong beneficial aspect with both its origi-
nal position at the time of birth, and also
with Venus in the radical chart. Neptune
gives confidence that there can be no dis-
appointment, complication, deceit or
danger of scandal in love or marriage.
Even in the business the partner cannot be
playing fraud. Only when Neptune forms
evil aspect, one has to exercise care in
food and drinks. One is to avoid narcotics.
There is always the danger from ptomaine
poisoning. Misplaced confidence will
land one in trouble. There will be danger
through secret organisations. It is advis-
able not to have a partner and also any
private secretary in business, as they may
be cheats and bring in mental worry,
financial loss, illrepute, etc. One will be
wasting money through ladies without any
benefit or pleasure.
But Neptune, forming good aspect,
shows that the native will be successful,
join happy society, spend a mirthful time,
engage in devotional practices, and enjoy
extreme prosperity.
 MARS IN THE LAST TWO SIGNS
Mars in Aquarius makes one intellectual,
as this is an airy sign. He will be prudent,
quick-witted and a ready debater.
Depending on the aspects of Mars, he
may be impulsive or rash, headstrong and
abrupt. Aquarius shows that he is
humanitarian. He will be interested in
the reform to do good to the poor. He
may be ambitious, enterprising and also
independent. Being a fixed sign, he will
be steady and cannot be changed by others.
If the circumstances appeal to him that
the change will be to his advantage, he
will not hesitate to change. It will be a
complete, sudden and abrupt one.
Advocates, having Mars in Aquarius,
have established a very good name during
their Mars period, as it makes them a good
reasoner, forcible and convincing speaker,
capable of summing up facts and argu-
ments very clearly, so that the opponent
and the judge can arrive at correct conclu-
sions in the advocates* favour. Aquarius
suggests that one can gain through inven-
tion, machinery, electricity, aerial matters,
medicine, surgery, or by floating a com-
pany, becoming the managing director of
the same and running it to the advantage
of the shareholders and customers. One
may take interest in public work and also
enter into Government or Co-operative
service. Air-pilots, having Mars in
Aquarius, will have sudden rise in their
career, because of their merit, sincerity
and ability,
_ course. The person will be untruthful if
If Mars is afflicted in Aquarius, one has
to correct himself. He should not be too
independent and, selfish, and should avoid
hasty actions. He should consider the
consequences. He should not be brutally
blunt in his speech and invite trouble.
Otherwise, he will Ipse many good friends
and suffer through opposition and hosti-
lity. Early death of parents will deny
him many opportunities for rise in life.
He should not be bombastic and resentful
of authority. Speculation will end in
12
loss. If he has any slight trouble with the
circulatory system, he should immediately
consult a heart specialist. Some authors
Say that Aquarius governs either, and
hence Mars can cause eye trouble. We
are of opinion that only when it is
afflicted by an evil planet from either
Taurus, the second, and Pisces the 12th
sign of the Zodiac, or by the planet occupy-
ing the second or the 12th house of a
native, one may have eye trouble and a
few had their cataract removed during
Mars period.
(When one compares the horoscopes of
the bride and bridegroom, if Mars is
found to be in Aquarius-Kumba, one is to
consider that there is no dhosha as is
mentioned in DEVAKERALAM.)
Mars in PiscesMeena ; The person
will not be as bold as those who have
Mars in the other signs. He may be some-
what timid and also slow or cautious, but
if he loses he will became bold and
audacious. He will be sympathetic and
affectionate. He may be open to the
influence of others, quiet, vacillating,
indecisive and easily depressed. He will
be ambitious, desirous of popularity
though he will., be dissatisfied with the
poor result. He will have a tendency
toward secret love affairs. He will be able
to hide it from the public eye. If Mars
is afflicted in this sign, he will be landed in
trouble by indulging in clandestine inter-
Mars is afflicted, even though the sign is
ruled by honest Jupiter.
Mars gives ability as a surgeon in
hospital. He is best fitted for detective
work. People with authority land power
in places of segregation, isolation, hospital
and jails," will' have Mars in Pisces and
Mars will be the significator for their pro-
fession by occupying the houses 2,6 or
10, or by occupying the constellation of
the planets in 2, 6 or 10 or Mars being
the lord of 2, 6 or 10 or by occupying the
constellation of the lords of these houses.
Sailors, Marine Engineers, fishermen,
hotel-keepers, C.I.D. Police, Navy Police,
and those who work in warships will
have their Mars in Pisces.
If Mars is afflicted, there is always the
danger through water. Accidents and
injury in the foot, or danger through
drowning or poison may be expected during
the period of Mars. In business it threa-
tens with many misfortunes, difficulties,
theft, secret inimical activities, false
reports, false accusations, scandal, etc.
13
Being a common sign, afflicted Mars gives
many changes in the occupation, plans
and schemes to become enmeshed in
the net of the law and suffer imprisonment,
making him a ward of the community.
Mars is to be adversely aspected or con-
joined with evils; He should avoid strong
drinks.
(These are the general results of Mars
in each sign. But the correct and precise
results can be had only when one follows
Krishnamurti Paddathi, an improved
method of stellar astrology.)
 MOON IN THE FIFTH HOUSE
By
Arudhra
Fifth house indicates children, progeny,
the first child of a native, rather the first
conceptioa or pregnancy, and the general
health of all children, pleasurable pursuits
of the native, lottery, speculation, betting,
sports, music, cinema, public entertain-
ments, amusements, games, dance, merri-
ment, etc. Fifth house also indicates
the younger brother or sister to the next
younger, mother's finance, bank position
and movable property, father's father,
success or failure of the messengers,
maternal uncle's loss, investment and
expenses, gain to partner in life or profit
to the opponent, father's higher studies,
long journey, contact with foreigners and
their friendship, death of the ruler, or
danger to him; there is no difference of
opinion among the Hindus and the Wes-
terners, in considering the 5th house as
that which indicates the birth of children
to.one. Hindus consider this as a Kona,
and thereby they declare it to be a strong
'sign,"promising beneficial results to the
native, if it is occupied by a benefic.
Jupiter therein is said to be unhelpful to
have a large family, though its aspect to
the 9th, 11th and first houses is auspici-
ous.
Moon in the fifth house generally indi-
cates that one will have fondness for
pleasure, will be cheerful in the midst of
children and young girls, and will besuccess-
ful in sports, games, music,,opera etc. If
the fifth house is a common sign, the affec-
tions of the native will be ever changing,
and he will be an unsteady gambler. The
marriage will prove to be fruitful. It is
said that Moon in the fifth house will sure-
ly bless the native with children, even if
the sign be a barren one; experience teaches
that one should not give prediction regar-
'ding the number of children without
14
considering the wife's chart also. Correct
results can be had only on scrutinising the
lady's chart. If Moon receives good
aspect, and, it is in the constellation of a
benefic, it is certain that one of the
children will be famous and prosperous.
If the fifth cusp, the lord of the fifth
house, is afflicted, but if Moon receives
good aspect from Neptune, one will have
a child by adoption. Moon in the fifth
house, well aspected by Uranus or Neptune,
is favourable to have intuition, clairvoy-
ance, or have the benefit ofYAKSHlNI.
Goddess may be worshipped to ward off
evil.
Moon, receiving good aspect from the
Sun, shows that one can have honourable
and successful attachments. One can
gain through speculation, and investment.
The family will be small. If Sun afflicts,
the native will -have trouble in courtship,
sorrow through love, trouble with children
and also loss in speculation, gambling,
etc.
Moon, receiving good aspect from
Mars, indicates that one can have pleasure
through strenuous sports and muscular
exercise and sudden attraction - towards
the opposite sex. If it forms evil aspect,
the native will be subject to sensual emo-
tions and over-ardent affections; too
much indulgence in pleasure; financial
and social loss; danger to first child.
Moon, receiving good aspect froin Mer-
cury, refines the native's pleasures and
makes them more mental than muscular.
It is more of the mind than of the senses.
One may gain through speculation in
cotton, in forward business, or in betting
of cotton prices. Intuition will be cor-
rect and action also will be prompt.
There will be success in connection with
travels and also correspondence. AGEN-
CY, contract, etc., will be a source of sud-
den and substantial income. Adverse
aspects threaten worry, anxiety and agony.
There will be nervous breakdown due to
disappointment in love affairs or due to
the death of a child.
Moon, receiving good aspect from Jupi-
ter, indicates that the children will be
good and dutiful. They will be helpful in
contributing to the comfort of the native.
One will be successful in his love affairs
and may gain through the opposite sex
also. One can speculate, using other's
money and gain thereby. One may have
the assistance of bankers and banks,
and make money through cinema, music,
etc. Bad aspect from Jupiter will give
the same desires and chances; but finally
there will be trouble, loss and litigation.
One may become a bankrupt.
Moon, receiving good aspect from
Venus, will bless the native with fruitful
and pleasant union as also with beautiful
children who will be endowed with artistic
and musical talents. Girls bom to this
native will contribute towards peace and
comfort. Gain through speculation,
theatres, music, painting, milk and dairy
forms are also indicated. If Venus afflicts
Moon, health will fail due to over-indul-
gence in pleasurable gratification. Go-
norrhoea, diabetes and such diseases may
pull down the native's health.
Moon, receiving good aspect from
Saturn, shows attraction towards people
older than the native or towards maid
servants, or girls employed in his office.
Occasionally one may fall in love with a
widow or a widower. If it is a lady, she
may have irregular monthly periods and
there will be delay to have a child, and
during pregnancy, there will be false pain
on many occasions. Speculation in petrol
and mine shares will be profitable. If
Saturn afflicts, there will be loss of child-
ren, the first child may be emaciated, still-
horn or short-lived. Loss by speculation
and in. games of chances arcJhreatened. from Aries.'' Moou in Poorvap^lgunPfirsl
Danger from animals, drowning, foul gas
in the sceptic tank, drain, etc., are to be
feared.
16
Uranus, forming good aspect with
Moon in the 5th house, gives unconven-
tional ideas with regard to sex union. It
will be uncommon, strange, romantic,
impulsive, inconstant and secret one.
Unexpected gains in speculation, betting,
or lottery, and intelligent or eccentric
children are indicated by Uranus. If it
forms evil aspect, the native will have a
troublesome child who may leave the house
without leaving behind any information
and causing much anxiety. Never specu-
late, as Uranus squaring Moon will give
incorrect intuition, impulsive action which
will land the native in trouble.
Neptune, forming good aspect with moon
in the fifth house, gives strange experiences
in connection with one's feelings, emo-
tions and affections. It gives proficiency
in stringed instruments and brings good
reputation. Speculation in shipping
shares, petrol, etc., will result in profit.
But, if Neptune forms evil aspect, it
denotes troubles, confusion, and disap-
pointment. There will be loss in the tran-
sactions due to treachery and deceit. Those
who become bankrupts by dealing in oils
have the evil aspect between Neptune
and Moon in 5.
For those born in ARIES :Moon can
be in Makam or Poorvapalguni or Uthra-
palguni first quarter. If Moon is in
Makam, it is not auspicious. It denotes
confusion, indecision, ill-health to child-
ren, loss in speculation, etc. Success in
his college course is not promised. There
will always be some difficulty or other
with the house owner orons may own a
house in a slum area. Moon in Poorva-
palguni indicates birth of beautiful and
lucky daughters. The native will specu-
late and also be a good musician or get
employed in any business, dealing in lux-
ury goods, or those needed by ladies.
Perfumeries, scents, etc., or taxi hire,
and petrol business will be advantageous.
Venus as lord of 2, indicating profession,
and also luxuries of the ladies, aspects
Moon who owns the 4th house counted
pada indicates that one will study medicine
and he will marry one who is not already
related but born in a stranger's family, as
Sun, tbe lord of Uthrapalguni is the lord
of a kona, i.e., the fifth house.
Tauras-born natives will have Moon in
Uthrapalguni 2nd, 3rd or 4th quar-
ter, or Hastham or Chithrai first
half, in Virgo. It means that lord of
three is in the constellation of lord of 4,
Sun ; or lord of 3, Moon in its own star
Hastham; or lord of 7 and 12 Mars, in
Chithrai. Hence, when Moon is in Uthram
in Virgo, the person may be a salesman in
any chemical or medical concern, or a
touring officer in the Government, or an
Inspector, or he may work in the com-
munication department. If it is a girl's
chart, her husband may go on long jour-
ney, come in contact with strangers and
foreigners and enter into profitable con-
tracts. If Moon is in Hastham, the per-
son may have good friendship with
brothers, sisters, and neighbours. A
few may have romance with the co-
tenant or neighbour or one living
dose by. As Moon is lord of three and
occupies the second house to the fourth
as lord of 12 to the fourth it is unfavou-
ble to mother; it threatens loss and also
hospitalisation during the period of Moon.
But to children, it is an excellent position,
as it is lord of 11 in its own constellation
in the Ascendant to the children which is
the Sth house to the native. If Moon is
in the 5th house to a girl, then the 7th
house indicates husband, which will be
Scorpio. Moon happens to be lord of 9 in
II in its own constellation and it indicates
17
that the husband will have higher studies,
come out successful and also be benefitted
with this qualification. Or he may come
in contact with strangers and foreigners
and gain, or he may go on a long journey
which will prove to be fruitful.
Moon in the first or second quarter of
Chithrai star will be in Virgo which is the
fifth house to Taurus-Rishaba. It
means that Moon, the lord of 3, occupies
the constellation of Mars who is lord of
this star and also lord of the 7th and the
12th houses counted from Taurus. It
denotes that there may be loss of money
through robbery while travelling, or ex-
pense on those with whom one comes in
contact during the voyage, or in the settle-
ment of marriage by making a short jour-
ney or by correspondence. Anyhow the
union will not be fortunate if Moon is also
afflicted. As lord of 7 is also lord of 12,
people born in Taurus will have their
partner born in a stranger's family or there
may be separation during the periods of
Moon which is under the sway of Mars.
A few will be transferred to a neighbou-
ring place and may have to live away,
leaving the permanent place of residence.
There will be a change in the surroundings
and environment, as lord of 3 is in the
constellation of lord of 12.
Thus one has to analyse and offer predic-
tion for each planet, in each sign and
house. Krishnamurthi Paddhathi gives
more details.

after marriage. Have all of them married
girls born in Moolam? Some boys corn^-
plain a lot of difficulties to their mother,
soon after their marriage. Have, they
married the brides-bora in AshJesha 1st
. pada. ' A few say that they lost their elder
brother immediately after marriage, had
they married. Jyeshta girls." Similarly
collect facts and consider. You will find
that the fathers-in-law passed away even
though the girls are bora in all the 27 stars-
Similarly some lost mother-in-law, some
brother-in-law, and so on. Therefore to
attribute any such occurrences only to the
nakshathra of the bride is not wise. Sup-
pose a girl is born in Moolam first pada ;
she marries a boy. Is it certain that her
father-in-law will pass away. Should not
his horoscope indicate that his end will be
immediately after his son^s marriage with
a Moolam girl ? If his horoscope promi-
ses long span. of fife, how can this bride
.shorten it, by marrying his son ? If the
tather-in-Iawdoes not die, will she adminis-
ter poison ? Are there not many Moolam
girls haying fathers-in-laws for many
decades after marriage ? Do girls born in
other stars promise long life to father-in-
law,
..Therefore, do not pay heed to all these
proverbs. To reject the horoscope of
girls born in Moolam or Ashlesha or
Jyeshta or Visaka is not wise. One has to
judge the whole horoscope and find out
the results. To seleit or reject on any one
point, taking only Moon's position into
consideration is not correct
A few exceptions:If the star of the
girl or the boy is either Mrigaseerisha or
Makam or Uthiram or Hastham or Swathi
or Anuradha of Uthrashada or Uthirat-
tadhi, one need not see dasaporutham at
all. They can marry even when there is
no dhina porutham. etc. (Yet the special
rule to the 7th star is to be considered)

 MARRIAGE
(DASAPORUTHAM)
By
Kayeska
The Ten agreements are :
' DINAM GANAM CHA MAHENDRAM
STHREE DHEERGAM YONIREVA CHA
RASI-RASYADHIPOW VASYAM
RAJJUR VEDHA CHA DHAE DHASA. '.
i.e., Dinam, Ganam, Mahendram, Sthree
Dheergam, Yoni, Rasi, Rasi-adhi-pathi,
Vasyam, Rajju and Vedhai.
Of the ten, the first Dina-Porutham was
dealt with, in the last April issue. The
next is Ganam.
1. Gana-Porutham;
Gana might have been otherwise called
as " Gu^as.,' The nature of a person may
be broadly classified into three groups:
Rajasic, Sathvic and Thamasic. Our sages
have expounded that it is the in-born
-nature of-the couple which is .mainly,
responsible for good understanding bet-
ween themselves and for leading happy
and harmonious wedded lives.
If the husband is Rajasic, that is, if he
is of a fiery nature, short-tempered, rash
and violent, and if he understands that the
wife is also equally militant, they will
agree satisfactorily. 'f Rajasic means
"Rakshasa*'.
If both happen to be gentle, true,
law-abiding, god-fearing, and modest,
they also will have Gana-Porutham and
will lead pleasant lives, "Sathvic" means
" Deva". If both are dull, lethargic, feel-
ing happy when supported or grumbling
when the other is negligent or reluctant
which is the nature of most of the people,
then too, understanding that the partner is
in no way better or worse than hinr-elf- or
herself, they pull on with pleasure. This
Type is called Manushya Ganam."
If husband and wife are both born in
the same groupGanam, they will agree.
22
If the husband is born in Deva Ganam
and the wife's star belongs to Manushya
Ganam, both horoscopes will agree.
The agreement is said to be passable, if
the husband is born in Manushya Ganam,
and the bride in Deva Ganam.
If either of their stars is in the group of
Rakshasa Ganam, and the other in Manu-
shya Ganam, they will not agree. There
will be no pleasure in their wedded life.
There are some exceptions.
(1) Suppose the bride is bom in Rak-
shasa Ganam. Then count the star of the
bride from that of the boy. If it is above
fourteen, the evil effects will be warded off.
They can be matched.
(2) If the sign, in which Moon was at
the time of birth of the'coliple, happens to
be the same or if the lords, of the different
signs, in which moon was at the time of
their birth,happen to be friends, or if they
are in Sama-Sapthama, then even if there
is no Ganam, can be matched.
The following nine stars belong to
2. Rakshasa Ganam:
Karthikai, Ashlesha, Makam, Chithrai,
Visakam, Jyeshta, Moolam, Dhanishta
and Sathabishak.
Manushya Gana stars are also nine in
number. They are Bharani, Rohini, Aru-
dhra, Poorvapalguni, Poorvashada, Poor-,,
vapathra pada, Uthrapalguni, Uthrashada
and Uthrabathra pada. The remaining
nine stars are grouped as Deva Ganam, and
they are Asvini, Mirgasirisham, Punar-
vasu, Pushyam, Hastham, Swathi, Anu-
radha, Sravanam and Revathi.
The above agreement is observed mostly
by Kshathriyas.
3. Mahendbra-Porutham:
This also oiight have been named as
Maha Kendhram. Because, by Keadhra,
we mean the houses 1, 4, 7, 10. Similarly
in this porutham, it is said that if the
bridegroom's star is the same as the bride's
or the 4th, 7th, 10th, 13th, 16lh, 19th,
22nd or 25th counted from that of the
bride, it agrees.
A hasty student will ask, " How is it
that the sages in one Porutham, advocate
the rejection of a star; while in another
porutham they consider it as good. For
example, in Dina porutham, they have
condemned the 7th star; i.e., if the boy's
star is the seventh when counted from that
of the girl, they .do not matcb. But under
Mahendra porutham, they haveselected the
seventh star. How are we to reconcile
this ?"
It is a fact, that under Dina Porutham,
the seventh star is discarded, whereas
under Mahendram, it is approved.
All poruthams do not indicate the
same result; i.e., happy life with wife;
harmony between them ; prosperity ;
progeny, etc. Each porutham shows a
particular result.
By Dina Porutham, one~cah understand
that the couple, having this agreement, can
maintain good health and live together for
a long period. But, by Mahendra Porutham,
it is to be presumed that the couple, having
this agreement, will have many children.
Suppose the husband's star is the seventh
from that of the wife. Then she may
bring forth children and either of them
may die very early. Are there not instances,
wherein the couple had all young kids and
they pass away? So Mahendra Porutham
has given children, and the lack of Dina
Porutham indicates short life to either or
both. If there is Dina Porutham and no-
Mahendhra Porutham, then they will live
long, and the family will not be big. If
Dina Porutham is absent and there is
Mahendhra Porutham, in the short period
of married life, maximum number of
children will be born. If both agreements
are absent; neither will they hav,e long
span of married life, nor will they have
children.
24
N.B.: Even though, there may be
Mahendhra Porutham (7th, 16th and 25th
stars) it should be read along with the
special rules and information given by the
sage Kashyapa. If Kashyapa Maharishi
has not approved any group(7ih star),
never match it. Once for all, reject out-
right ; e.g., he had said that if girls born in
Sravanam marry persons born in Asvini,
the seventh star, they cannot have harmony
and will get separated. So, a girl born in
Sravanam, by marrying a boy born in
Aswini, saying that there is Mahendra
Porutham, will get separated, after having
a child or two. Do we not hear many
divorce cases after they had a few children?
A CUV, TN V.
This agreement between the couple
denotes satisfactory increase in their bank
position after they get married.
It is declared that there is Sthree Dheerga
Porutham, if the boy's star is 13th and
above, i.e., between 13 and 27, when coun-
ted from that of the bride. Some sages
have said that there is Sthree Dheergam,
if the male's star is between 8 and 27, that
is above the seventh star.
5. Yoni Porutham:
This Shows that the husband and the
wife will have good understanding and
harmony. Probably this may be mistaken
as though they will unite like animals or
reptiles mentioned against each star. It is
not so. It is only to impress upon the
mind of the astrologer and the consultant
whether a group of stars promise friend-
liness or enmity.
Stars Yoni
Aswini, Sathabishak Horse
Barani, Revathi .Elephant

Karthikai, Pushyam
Rohini, Mrigasrisha Snake
Arudhra, Moolam Dog
Punarvasu, Ashlesha Cat

Hastham, Swathi Buffalo
Chithra, Visakam Tiger
Anuradha, Jyeshta Deer
Poorvashada, Sravanam Monkey
Dthradam, Uthrattadhi Cow
Dhanishta, Poorattadhi Human
Thus, whether one is a male or female,
yoni is allotted to each star.
If both are born in the same yoni, it is
an excellent agreement. For example,
girls born in Visakam star will be consi-
dered as one whose yoni is " TigerIf
she marries a boy born in Chithrai star
whose yoni is also ' Tiger *, both will agree
well; and this agreement promises peace
and prosperity which everybody wants.
An Ashlesha girl, marrying Punarvasu,
both having the yoni of cat, will lead a calm
and peaceful life, as both have the same
yoni. Because the yoni is compared to cat,
one should not mistake that like cats they
will be creating a terrifying noise when
they want to have pleasure. Nor will
Arudhra and Moolam star people behave
like dogs. This agreement is judged to
find whether they will have a prosperous
married life or not. Also, it indicates
whether one likes the other or not.
Have we not heard boys saying, "I
don't like the girl. I don't know why. On
looking at her, somehow, I have a repul-
sion. She is no doubt, fair, good-looking,
well-behaved, etc. Yet I am not attracted.''
In such cases, there will be no yoni
Porutham. If the boy and the girl are bom
in such yonis which are inimical, they will
not agree. Prosperity and peace are not
promised by this method of judgment.
Further they cannot have the desired
conjugal bliss. There will be dissatisfac-
tion.
(I) Monkey and goat, i.e., Pooradam
or Sravana girl or boy marrying Pushyam
or Karthikai boy. A girl bom in Poora-
dam has Dina Porutham with Karthikai
and the 1st, 2nd and 4th padas of Push-
yam. A girl born in Sravanam has good
Dina Porutham with Karthikai. But Push-
yam star is in Cancer. There is'Sama
SapthamamAs is said that Saturn
and the. Luminaries, Sun and Moon do
hot agree, the "Sama Sapthamam" is
not approved. Hence Sravanam and
Pushyam cannot be matched. Thus Dina
25
Porutham indicates health and longevity,
while yoni shows satisfaction and prospe-
rity. Hence people having inimical yonis
will be dissatisfied.
(2) Goat and elephant have no con-
cord.
(3) Horse and buffalo are inimical.
(4) Cow and tiger disagree.
(5) Rats and cats need no explana-
tion.
(6) Snakes and rats are also evil.
(7) Deer and dog cannot be dear
friends.
Therefore one has to mention that this
porutham is absent, even though other
agreements may be encouraging. As it is
said that marriages can be celebrated if
there are more than five agreements out of
the ten, even if this is absent, one can
proceed. It is advisable to enlighten the
couple, so that they can try to adjust them-
selves.
6. Rasi Porutham :
f What is meant by Rasi? Generally by
Rasi ' one means a Sign, i.e., Aries-
Mesha, TAURUS or Rishaba, Gemini or
Mithuna, and so on. But the correct mea-
ning of Rasi is the sign occupied by Moon
at the time of birth. One may have his
Lagna-ascendant in Leo-Simha. But his
star may be Barani, thereby- Moon is in
Mesha-Aries. Hence his Lagna is Leo
and Rasi is Aries. Suppose one's ascen-
dant Lagna is Libra-Thulam and Moon is
in Swathi star which is also in Libra-Thu-
lam. Then his Lagna and Rasi are one
and the same Libra or Thulam. Rasi
means the sign occupied by Moon.
(a) If the moon sign-Rasi of the hus-
band is the second counted from the sign
of the bride, long span of married life is

 DHANUR LAGNA (SAGITTARIUS)
By
Shri D. V. Subba Rao
Dhanus is a fiery masculine, human,
odd, and common sign. By nature, it has
been said to be cruel. Jupiter, its lord,
has his moola trikona in 1 to 10 degrees.
Its sensitive degrees are from 1 to 5 and
11 to 18. The inauspicious part is from
26 to 30 degrees. This rasi carries with
it a certain amount of versality which
makes prediction of career of persons
born in the rasi a bit difficult. They are
generally interested in freedom. Teaching,
organising and preaching are their chief
avocations and attract them often with
considerable ease. They adopt a strenuous
type of life and are always for a game bent
on winning it while striking first. They
are apt to believe easily with an element
of daring and optimism and as such,
sometimes reckless. They are frank and
blunt in speech and, if need be, they can
also be reserved and sensitive. Thus they
make more enemies than friends, conse-
quent on being easily misunderstood. They
are unconventional, sensitive, enthusiastic;
God-fearing, honest, humble, brilliant,
with affable manners and are deeply
interested in arts and literature. They are
prosperous and famous in their own fields.
They are conversant with the art of getting
on in life and conscious of their knowledge
which often leads them to trouble when
divulged. They are conspicuous with a
long face and neck with big nose and ears.
Commonly they are favourites of the
ruling classes; liberal and eloquent they
are endowed with great strength to destroy
enemies, their hobby, but are won over
easily with kind treatment. Following are
the indications of the sensitive points":
I0- Dance; 2- religion; 3- sensitivity,
suicidal nature, ambition; 5- consump-
tion; 6-imitation, acting and occultism;
9- scientific intellect; 10- solitude and
dignity ; 11-" music-and medicine; -14-
27
oratory and organising ability; 15-
paralysis and criminology; 17- pessimism;
19 and 21- economics and finances;
23- sense of duty; 28- hypnotism,
specialisation and 29- astrology.
According to Hindu System, Sun and
Mars are beneficsj Moon, Mercury, Venus
and Saturn are malefics and Jupiter is a
neutral to those born in this sign. Sun in
conjunction with Mercury causes Raja
yoga.
Disposition of Planets
SunLord of 9 : In 6 or 8 houses he
causes good Raja yoga. In 3 or 12 the
yoga is a bit less. In conjunction with
Mercury in kendras or konas, he causes
avayoga. In relation to Venus he alone
causes some good in dustanas while Venus
remains neutral. Identical is the rela-
tionship of Venus and Mars. In 11 his
conjunction with Saturn enables both to
cause yoga, since Sun attains neecha
bhanga raja yoga. Conjunction with
Mars in 5 and 9 is bad and in 1, 4, 7 or 10
they do bad to a limited extent. Their
parivarthana in 5 and 9 is rather bad as
well as their conjunction in these places but
5 is preferable to 9. Conjunction of Sun
and Mercury in kendras or konas or their
parivarthana in these houses or their stay
individually in their own houses is also
bad. When posited separately in dustanas.
i.e., 3,6,8; 11 or 12 they cause good.
Position of Sun in 11 causes a free flow of
fortune. Conjunction of Sun and Mercury
in 6 or 8 is very good with preference to
8th b'haVa,"In 9 or 10 this conjunction
reduces the Raja yoga. It is always
preferable they are separated and posited
in dustanas. Conjunction in the 2nd
house is good for high status with ruling
powers, but the native is sure, to ,lose his,,
 ancestral properties. With Venus in 12 to
this conjunction, it is highly beneficial for
attaining higher status with ruling powers.
In the 12th bhava they confer high
education.
MoonLord of 8 : She causes avayoga
when posited in kendras and konas. Full
Moon in 12 causes a special yoga, the
unique feature to this lagna. In other
dustanas she does not confer any yoga.
Her relation with Sun is generally bad,
except when in Mesha where Sun alone
confers yoga. Her relation with Mars in
kendras or konas is good where Mars
remains dormant. Conjunction with
Saturn in dustanas is avayoga while this
conjunction in kendras is good. Relation
with Venus in kendras is very good.
Conjunction of Moon and Saturn in 10
create sambition of a new order, conferring
fame and dignity. Conjunction of Moon
with Mars in 12 confers high academic
distinctions, happiness and success with
little obstructions. Moon as a temporary
friend of Jupiter is good to start with,
butbadin the end. Asa temporary enemy
she is very bad.
MarsLord of 5 and 12 : In kendras or
konas orin the 12thhouse, Mars is no good
for yoga, while in 3rd, 6th or - 8 th house
_iie. is ..positively a yoga karaka. Posited in
the 2nd house he is no better, while in 11 he
"is of average benefit. In conjunction with
lords of 6 or Sin kendras,he causes good.
Conjuction with other lords in konas is
better. Relation with Sun in 3,6,8 or 11
is good, while such relation with Saturn in
these houses is bad. In conjunction with
Venus in the 2nd house, he creates great
abilities in music, raising the native to
enviable heights, Conjunction with Mer-
cury in lagna confers great mental energy,
straightforwardness, honesty and sincerity,
but the native figures to be a controversia-
list. This conjunction when opposed by
Saturn makes one detached to life and
altruistic. Mars in exaltation causes raja
yoga and dhana yoga.
MercuryLord of 7 and 10 ; His posi-
tion in kendras is bad, while in konas it is
preferable.'In-'3; 6r'8,-1 l and 1 2 he confers
benefits. When.it happens to be in his
28
exaltation sign or in the house of Mars, it
is very good. Conjunction with Jupiter in
kendras or konas is considerably harmful,
but when such conjunction occurs in
dustanas, it is doubly beneficial. Conjunc-
tion with Saturn in lagna is also good,
but a bit less when compared with the
conjunction of Jupiter with Saturn in
lagna. Conjunction of Mercury with
Jupiter in kendras, causes good, when
lords of dustanas join them. Sextile aspect
between these planets makes one simple,
frugal, undogmatic- He will be of a retir-
ing nature, steadily pursuing his own
ideals which aspect is often found in the
horoscopes of controversial politicians.
Conjunction of this nature in the 8th
Louse results in getting sudden wealth.
JupiterLord of 1 and 4 ; His stay in
lagna causes Hamsa yoga but is not very
helpful for material prosperity. In Chandra
lagna when it is even in the 8th house, he
causes Hamsa yoga. As lord of kendras
his slay in dustanas is very helpful. When
these happen to be his exaltation or houses
of Mars, the benefits to be derived are
many more, or rather unlimited. A debili-
tated Jupiter is always harmful to this
lagna. His conjunction with Saturn in
lagna is very good for yoga. He is best in
the 6th house for purposes of raja yoga
and 8th and I2lh come next. Jupiter in
4th with Mars in 10 is a positive indication
for domestic worries and separation with
wife. Venus in trine to Jupiter confers grace
in expressions and endows popularity and
public esteem. His stay in kendra or kona
to Sun in conjunction with Mercury or in
2nd or 11th house from this conjunction
is highly beneficial. Exaltation of Jupiter
causes Lagna-adhi-yoga,
VenusLord of 6 and 11: Though a
malefic, by owning 6th and 11th houses,
yet it confers good, by being posited in
kendras or konas. Even while debilitated
in the 10th house he is good. In dustanas
no yoga is caused.
While in kendras, bis relation with
Jupiter, Mercury, Sun or Mars is, no
doubt, good but he alone confers yoga,
while the rest are rendered helpless. His
relation with Saturn is not congenial in
 general and in dustanas it causes positive
.ava-yoga. His relation with Jupiter or
Mercury is helpful since the malefic nature
will be mitigated. Conjunction with Saturn
in kendras is good, as both will cause
yoga. Exalted Venus is highly beneficial.
Conjunction with Moon in kendras or
konas is very good. Conjunction with Sun
in 3, 6, 8, 11 or 12 betters the position of
Sun, while Venus turns to be a benefic
though to a lesser degree.
SaturnLord of 2 and 3; Posited in
6, 8 or 12 houses causes no yoga. In 11,
9, 5 and 1 he is a yoga karaka. In kendras
or konas he confers Raja yoga indepen-
dently and not when aspccted by natural
bcnefics as Jupiter. When Jupiter and
Mercury occupy dustauas, his dasa coming
in between the dasas of these kendradhipa-
this causes Prabala yoga, specially when he
is posited in 3, 6, 8 or 12 houses. Saturn
in 11, with Sun in 5 causes amatya yoga
but his political life would be restless.
In 5, when neecha, with bhanga, he
confers yoga of a high order.
Rahu and Ketu: Both those nodes in
kendras or konas, when not conjoined with
any planet, is good. Their relation to
Mercury or Jupiter is not helpful. Rela-
tions with Saturn or Mars is good. When
posited alone in 3, 6, 8, 11 or 12, they are
sureto confer benefits. Sanketanidhi
observes that Rahu in 11 with Saturn is
harmful. Conjunction of Rahu with Mars
in 9 enables Rahu to confer yoga, while
Mars causes ava-yoga during his periods.
Ketu causes yoga independently when
posited in 3 or 12 houses. His conjunction
with Venus in dustanas causes yoga
bhanga. Conjunction with Saturn is good
for yoga.
Mercury in 2nd, 3rd or 7 th house makes
the native learned, high-minded and
foremost in having truth and virtues as
ideals. He will be possessing noble quali-
ties, will become famous and merciful.
His position in the 2nd house is said to
confer specially good results, such as high
education, fame, kingly riches and promo-
tion to thp highest ranks.
Other general features are ; Sun, Ma;s,
Mercury, Jupiter and Saturn cause yoga,
29
when posited in dustanas or when related
to lords of dustanas. Without relation
with malefics, these plantes cannot confer
yoga in dustanas. Conjunction of Moon,
Mercury and Jupiter is good to a certain
extent in kendras. Relation of Mercury
or Jupiter to Sun, Mars or Saturn in
dustanas is good. Saturn in 2nd house
aspected by Jupiter, with Mars in 9 and
Sun in lagna bestows continuous
prosperity and good luck. Conjunction
of Moon, Mercury and Venus in 8 makes
one warm hearted, and artistic. He would
be famous asa poet, but his married life is
disastrous. Conjunction of Venus with
Mercury and Sun in 2, with Moon in 10
makes one calm and critical inoutlook with
great organisational abilities and balance of
judgment. Sun in con junction with Venus
in 9, with Saturn in 3 confers fame and
wealth in the dasa of Saturn. Conjunction
of Sun, Mercury and Jupiter in kalatra
bhava is a sure indication to acquire
riches through wife. Conjunction of Sun,
Moon and Mars in the 3rd bhava aspected
by Jupiter from 9th confers luck, self-
acquired wealth and proficiency in
astrology.
Births take place under the five tatwas,
viz., Akasa, Vayu, Agni, Jala and Prithvi.
Planets have rulership on these tatwas.
Akasa tatwa is governed by Jupiter, who
in turn is the lord of Dhanus and Meena.
Dhanus happens to be an agni tatwa rasi
which, under rulership of akasa tatwa.
Jupiter, functions for the purposes of
astrology. It is obvious that akasa and
agni tatwa do not get on well together but
the virtues of Deva Guru governing both
the aspects makes one born in Dhanus
conspicuous by certain traits of character
and ability. It would thus be interesting
to study the horoscopes of persons that
are born in Dhanus in akasa tatwa.
Persons born in akasa tatwa as enuncia-
ted in " Brihatsamhita " are optimistic,
cheerful and generous. Variations in their
temper, mind and aptitude, are conspicu-
ous. Under congenial conditions great
traits of character manifesting intellect of
a high order, grit, energy,.broad-minded-
ness and generosity are revealedl" Facing'
adverse circumstances, they often tend to
lose faith and become pessimistic, doubt-
ing their own trusted friends. They are
generally clever, open-mouthed and possess
divine nature and are devoted to friends.
Being firm in their views, with capacities to
adjust themselves to environmental condi-
tions,, they are clever in attracting people
and making friends whom they trust with-
out proper probe and with full confidence
in their abilities. Quick temper, grit,
ability coupled with lurking suspicion,
ambition and over-confidence in their
abilities, often lead them to experience
mixed results. They love power and
friends, while being a terror to enemies.
Persons born in Dhanur lagna in akasa
tatwa are famous for their grit, self -earned
wealth, uncompromising nature and en-
mity with kith and kin. They are often
cheated by their own friends, subjecting
themselves to sorrows and miseries.
With the above principles in mind let us
now consider the horoscope of one born
in Dhanur lagna in Akasa tatwa.
The native was born on 19th May, 1913
(Monday) at 10-9-28 P.M. The planetary

chart shows changes in the planetary posi-
tions as compared with the rasi chart. For
the sake of accurate predictions the bh ava
chart only is to be considered. Balance of
janana kala Guru Mahadasa was 6 years
11 months and 8 days.
As stated earlier Sun and Mars arebene-
fics, Jupiter is natural and Mercury, Moon,
Venus and Saturn are raalefics. From
Chandra lagna Moon, Mercury, Mats,
Venus and Saturn are benefics. Sun
is neutral and Jupiter is the single
malefic.
Following are the adhi yogas that are to
the vantage of the native; Vasuraati yoga
caused by Moon, Jupiter and Venus as
natural bcnefics in upachayas to Chandra
lagna confers raja yoga and prestige.
Budha Aditya yoga caused by Mercury and
Sun being in Mesha, confers raja yoga,
dharma karraadhipathi yoga. Beri yoga
caused by the same two planets as lords of
9 and 10 posited in kona confers raja
yoga and prosperity. Maha bhagya yoga
caused by lagna, Sun and Moon posited
in odd houses confers reputation,
happiness, charitable disposition and
kingly status. Pushkala yoga caused by
Jupiter and Venus posited in kendras con-
fers wealth and prominence with govern-
mental favours. Kala yoga caused by Mars
and Saturn exchanging houses confers alter-
nating luck and ill-luck. Parvathayoga
is caused by Jupiter and Venus occupying
kendras, while 6th and 8tb houses remain
unoccupied confers wealth, prosperity,
liberality, and leadership. Hamsa yoga
caused by Jupiter being in kendra, his own
house, confers comforts, merits and devo-
tion to virtues. Chandradhi yoga is caused
by Venus, Sun, Mercury and Saturn
posited in 6 and 7 houses from Moon. In
addition, the following are the raja yogas
caused: Mercury, lord of lOaspected by
Jupiter from lagna ; Venus being the lord
of Chandra lagna posited in a kendra;
Jupiter the lord of lagna by his position in
navarasa lagna; Venus transiting the
constellation of Aswani at birth; Con-
junction of the lords of bhagya and rajya
in a kona that happens to te the exalta-
tion sign of the bhagya lord.
 Life started with the dasa of Jupiter
followed by that of Saturn. Ketu's rela-
tion to karma sthana is responsible to the
native's high devotion to God. In Trim-
samsa lagna, Ketu was again in the karma
sthana, indicating success of the cheri-
shed desires. Dhana and Vahana
Arudhas are in 10 to Lagna arudha.
Karakamsa lagna was again in 10th to
dhana and vahana arudhas; and these
happen to be the houses of .Mercury, the
lord of Rajya bhava. Karakamsa lagna
is being aspected by Jupiter, the lagna
lord who caused Hamsa yoga. Janraa
and Arudha lagnas are the same with
Jupiter. Jupiter and Mercury posited in
trimsamsa lagna are being aspected by
Mars from rajya bhava. Considering all
other salient Jeatures Saturn, Venus and
Jupiter are rendered weak in order. Sun
and Moon are detrimental to Rajya bhava
being natural enemies of Venus who
happens to be the maraka for Rajya bhava
as lord of 2 and 9 and in turn a malefic
to Dhanur lagna, being lord of 6th and
11 th houses. Moon as lord of 8 to lagna
and lord of 11 to Rajya bhava is detri-
mental, positively to Rajya bhava. His
position in 2 to Rajya bhava as atma
karakain the constellation or Jupiter is a
jjoshiye indication of decline of the Rajya
"bhaya during (he period of Venus in
-whose house he is posited and with whom
he is in conflict being in conjunct.
As revealed by the adhi yogas (he rise
started from the 2nd half of the mahadasa
of Mercury exalted in Na vamsa chart (posi-
ted in an -odd sign conferring the effects
of the moola trikona house in the second
half only). The native became a minister
in Rahu bhukti or Rahu antara of Budha
maha dasa. During Mars bhukti he was
elected President of the Andra Provincial
Congress Committee. During the antara
of_Saturn of Budha dasa, he became the
Deputy Chief Minister with the commence-
ment of Kethu Mahadasa; Remarkable
progress was noticed. It would be interest-
ing (o note that Kcthu was transiting the
constellation of Sun and was posited in
Leo at birth in bhava. From Chandra
lagna he was in the rajya bhava independ-
ently, thus ensuring success during his
period. During his own antara, the native
32
was elected leader of the legislature party
and in the succeeding antara of Venus,
was honoured with the position of Chief
Minister of one of the important States in
the country. As indicated by kala yoga,
his fortunes are bound to fluctuate. He
had to leave the position of Chief
Minister to take up the Presidentship of
the All-India Congress Organisation,
during Rahu antara which is obvious by
his conjunction with Mars, lord of 5 and
12 in 3 which in turn is the 7th to the
dasa lord. Both the planets were transi-
ting the constellation of Saturn at birth
who happens to be the lord of 6th to
Rajya bhava. The position of Rahu and
Mars in the moola trikona of Saturn, an
adhi satru to Mars is a pointer. During
the antara of Saturn when it was impos-
sible to forestall politically, that the
native would again be the Chief Minister
in the following antara, he v/as assured
of the honour to be conferred on him
which took him by surprise. As predic-
ted, he became the Chief Minister during
the sub-period of Mercury, and formed
his cabinet on 12th Match 1962 against
astrological advice.
The maha dasa of Venus as stated
earlier is not so powerful as that of
Mercury and Kethu. At birth, Venus was
transiting the constellation of Kethu, a
shadow planet which entirely depended
on Sun for all results, the bitter enemy of
Venus, and who in turn became powerful,
being posited in his own constellation.
Sun is the lord of 12 to Rajya bhava.
Venus the lord of 2 and 9 to the said
bhava was in 7 to the bhava and in 12 to
Sun a dwidwadasa position, indicating
conflicts and set-backs. Venus is also
the lord of 7 and 12 to Rajya Arudha, the
house of Mars and in whose other house
was posited Mercury, the lord of Rajya
bhava. Mars was transiting the constel-
lation of Saturn at birth which is obvi-
ously harmful. Venus dasa started with
his own sub period, proving fruitful
which is again detrimental to the interests
of the native as Venus was not in his own
constellation. With the commencement
of tlie sub period of Sun, clouds started
gathering foreboding evil, and gradually
they gained momentum. The native was
inclined to resign and leave the position. Balance of Moon dasa was 5 years and

such life, and in his order, but he has not

mind and with great will-power to master

interesting to note that Saturn (R) is also
Vargottama, and hence very powerfully
posited in his friend's house aspected by
Jupiter. He is again aspected by exalted
Venus from 8th house, thus receiving very
beneficial aspects. Mars as Yogakarka is
also casting his 8th house glance upon
Saturn. It is stated in Phaladeepika
Adh. XXVII, Sloka I : When the lord of
the 10th house conjointly occupies a Kendra
or Trikona position with 4 or more
planets posited in kendras, the persons will
attain emancipation.
If the end of a rasi be rising and the
same be owned by a benefic planet and
Jupiter occupies a Kendra or Trikona,
then also will the person born attain
emancipation.
Sloka 2: If, at a birth 4, or more planete
occupy a single house, the person should
be said to become an ascetic of the class
signified by the strongest of them. These
two theories justify the present case as the
lOlh kendra is occupied by 3 planets,
benefics, and aspected by Yogakaraka,
Mars and the 12th lord, (Moksha).
Sloka 3 runs as follows : If the Moon
occupies a Navamsa of Mars (in this case
it is Vargottama, occupying Scorpio in
Rasi and Amsa), and be aspected by the
planet Mars incomplete.
The whole strength of the Moon and
Saturn (R), has influenced His Holiness
much in following rigorous penance, and
has given a philosophic mind and persever-
ing nature. It has given great will-power
and frugal habits.
Coming to Karmasthana, 10th house,
we find that Jupiter is occupying it, with
his friends Sun and Mercury, who are the
lords of Lagna and 2nd and 11th house.
In addition to this, the 10th lord isexalted.
Mars too casts his 4th house glance as a
yogakaraka on 10th house. There is
exchange of houses by Jupiter (lord of 5th)
and Venus lord of 10th, lords of kona
and kendra respectively, creatingRajayoga.
All these have created a first-rate Rajayoga
but aspected Moon, lord of 12 which
turned into Sanyasa Yoga-
Sloka 7, Adhya. XXVII Phaladeepika
says Ascetic Yoga combined with
Rajayoga will pull up by the roots all the
bad effects and then make him a lord of
earth initiated into ascetisim and virtuously
inclined, at whose feet other kings make
salutations with their head bent.
Jathaka Parijatha Adh, XV, Sloka 17
says : If 3 planets endowed with strength
be posited in a good house, the person
born will seek admission into the Holy
Order and become a successful ascetic. If
the planets forming the group, contain
more benefics and occupy a good house,
the holy order will be the one that is
respected by all and honoured by the
great.
35
 Due lo the close conjunction of Sun and
Mercury, Budha-Aditya yoga is formed,
which makes him clever, intelligent, famous
and happy. Venus, exalted in the 8th
house, aspects the 2nd which gives a sweet
tongue, amiable qualities, besides profici-
ency in poetry, arts, and music. Lagnadbi-
pathi is aspected by Rasyathipathi which is
another Rajayoga. Benefics, occupying
10th house, form Amalayoga, and make
bim virtuous, pious, kindly disposed,
amiable, highly revered by the sovereign,
gentle and affable in speech.
Phaladeepika, Adh. XXVII, Sloka 6
speaks of Srikantha Yoga ; If the lord of
Lagna, Sun and Moon being in Kendra or
Trikona, occupies exallalion, own friendly
houses, the yoga arises. The person will
be decked with Rudraksha rosaried with
his body white, by the besmearing of
sacred ashes; he will be magnanimous,
and will be always meditating at heart on
God Shiva. He will rigidly observe pres-
cribed rites and will consecrate himself to
the worship of God Shiva. He will help
the virtuous. He will be free from
malice towards the creed or religious
beliefs of others. He will become power-
ful and his heart will become delighted by
the worship of God Shiva.
Venus, occupying the 8th house with
Rahu exalted, gives good longevity and
aspect of Saturn (R) is also there. The
combination of Jupiter and Mercury made
him proficient in scriptures and code of
laws.
Jathaka Parijatba Adh. XV, Sloka 11
says: If the 9th or 10th house be occupied
by beneficial planets and the lords of these
houses as well as Jupiter and the lord of
Lagna are strong, the personborn will be
imbued with faith bom of the performance
37
of such excellent works as are ascribed on
custom and morality and will be reckoned
as the foremost among the sacerdotal class.
Sloka 18 reads : If the Sun occupying a
beneficAmsa, should have the aspect of
the planet causing the ascetic yoga and
occupying its highest exaltation point, the
person concerned will become a lordly
ascetic in his youth or even at a much
earlier age. His Holiness became a Sanyasi
at 13, which fact proves the truth of the
sloka.
Sloka 19 ; If the lord of the Lagna be
aspected by several planets conjoined in
one sign, the person born will consecrate
himself for ascetism. Here, Sun is the
lord who supports this theory.
Sloka 20: If the Moon occupies a
drekkana of Saturn in a Rasi of Mars and
also be aspected by Saturn, the person
becomes an ascetic. Here, Moon occupies
Scorpio, and is aspected by Saturn both in
Rasi and Amsa.
Brihat Jathaka, Adh. XV, Sloka 1, says :
If the Sun is strong, he will take the Vanya-
sana order leading a simple life, high
thinking, denoting high intellectual and
spiritual development. Sloka 3 says: The
rasiadhipathi unaspected by any planet,
aspects Saturn, the person becomes an
ascetic.
With the foregoing conjunctions in the
horoscope, and several other combinations
for Sanyasayoga, His Holiness took to
Sanyasa at an early age itself and to-day
shines as a lord among his class. The
above subject is chosen since research is
made only on this yoga which ushers
magnificent spiritual personalities who
enlighten mankind from time to time.

 MOON IN THE SIXTH HOUSE
Sixth house indicates disease, the real
state of the disease, recovery from it,
whether it is of long or short duration, etc.,
as this house forms quincunxshasta
ahstamaaspect with Lagna or Ascendant,
which shows one's health. Expenses
outweighing one's Income and taking
money from another for one's use is indi-
cated by this house. The seventh house
indicates the person who lends money
and also one who borrows money from
the native. The sixth house is the twelfth
to the seventh and the twelfth shows giv-
ing away money or loss. Therefore sixth
house indicates income by way of loan or
because of losses to the opponent. The
service or servants of a native are read
from this house. The pet animals, small
cattle, etc., is indicated by this house. As
sixth house is the third from the
fourth, it indicates the younger brother of
the mother, i.e., maternal uncle, or aunt.
It represents the tenants of the native.
Sixth house being the 4th house counted
from the third, shows one's younger
brother's conveyance and permanent
possessions, mother's short journey and
her publications ; being the 2nd house to
the 5th, it shows the bank position of
children; being the 12th house to the
seventh, it indicates the loss to wife, or
her secret enemies, or the partner giving
away his share of profits or the partner's
life in a foreign place ; 6th house being
the tenth to the 9th, it indicates the occu-
pation of father; it shows danger to elder
brother or sister, as it is the eighth house
to the eleventh which represents elder
brother.
Moon in the sixth house, in general,
gives one the desire to include much of
sweets in his dish. Moon will lessen the
vitality. It is not a favourable position
for health, especially when one is young
and the star in which he is born is either
Rohini or Hastha or SravanamThiru-
vonam-. He will be better suited for
3
service than for independent business.
This cannot be said as a favourable posi-
tion for either finance, health, popularity
or reputation. Especially in a woman's
horoscope, indifferent health is indicated
by Moon in the 6th. She will be ever
changing the servants and no servant will
slick on.
But these undesirable results will
be warded off by those planets which form
good aspect with Moon, One can make
efforts to maintain health and the aspect-
ing planet will assist him ; he or she will
be successful with small animals,
servants, etc. Let us suppose that Moon
receives both good and bad aspects from
other planets ; for example, good aspects
from Sun and Mars and evil aspects from
Venus and Mercury. Then, he or she will
have permanently the following of faith-
ful servants and also some servants fre-
quently joining him or her, and leaving
after a short period. Those who are
governed by Sun and Mars will be perma-
nent servants. What is meant by
"governed by Sun or Mars"? Those
are said to be governed by Sun or Mars,
who are born on Sundays or Tuesdays, or
those born in the stars ruled by Sun, i.e.,
Karthikai, Ulhrapalguni or Uthrashada
stars, or those born in Mars stars, Mriga-
sirisha, Chithrai or Dhanishta stars,
and those born in Sun's sign Leo (Simha)
as Ascendant(Lagna), or in either of the
Mars signsAries (Mesha), or Scorpio
(Vrischika). But the planets, Venus and
Mercury, forming evil aspects, show that
those born on Fridays or Wednesdays, in
Bharani, Poorvapalguni, or Poorvashada,
stars governed by Venus, or Aslesha or
Jyeshta or Revathi stars belonging to
Mercury or those born in Venus signs,
Taurus (Rishaba), or Libra (Thulam), or
in Mercury's signs, Gemini (Milhuna),
Virgo (Kanni) will never stick on, but "will
cause sb'me trouble or other and leave their
jobs frequently.
 Moon, receiving good aspect, especi-
ally from Mars, Venus and Jupiter
indicates that one will be very successful
with small animals. Milk vendors, and
Poultry-farm owners, invariably have this
disposition of planets. Venus and Moon,
forming good aspect, will give decent
gain through milk. Jupiter's good aspect
will give female calves, whenever the cows
or buffaloes deliver. Vegetarian eggs will
be laid by the hen and one will not lose
the hen due to any epidemic.
If Moon were to occupy any fixed sign
in 6th at the time of birth, one may suffer
from bronchitis, stone in the bladder, etc.
If Moon would have been in any of the
movable signs, there will be vitaminB defi-
ciency, nervous debility, poor digestion
and stomach trouble. Moon in a common
sign portends lung trouble and chronic
diseases.
Moon afflicted by Sun (i.e., if the dis-
tance between Sun and Moon is either
22^ or multiples thereof say, 45, 67^
etc., i.e., if Moon occupies the position
which will be occupied by Mandhi) the
native's vitality will be weak. Whenever
he suffers from a disease,; recovery will
be very slow. Digestion and assimilation
-will be poor. - -The person will be hyper- . person will enjoy sasimangala yoga and
sensitive.
Moon afflicted by Mars is evil, especially
to ladies. They will have troubles during
their monthly periods. It will cause relation
inflammatory diseases in all. One may be
_a_drunkard. Fever, accidents, and surgical
treatment of the generative organs are
indicated. Moon, afflicted by Mercury,
causes indigestion, headache, trouble in
the teeth, and also irregular bowels. Poor
memory, liability to brain storms and
much of worry will depress one and cause
ailment.
Moon, afflicted by Jupiter, gives liver
and blood trouble. Enlargement of liver
is indicated by this aspect. But dull liver
is due to Saturn's evil aspect. Venus,
afflicting Moon, indicates skin trouble,
eczema, dhobi's itch, ringworm, etc.
Saturn, afflicting Moon, causes poor
circulation of blood, chronic disease, fair
complex, hysterical trouble, etc. Here the
patient will be dull, moody and gloomy,
and he will avoid company. Mars
produces hysterical patients who are
violent, whereas Mercury shows that the
patient will ever be talking aloud, will be
making noise and causing nuisance.
Uranus forming evil aspect with Moon,
shows that, if these people are employers,
nobody will work for them, and if they are
employees, nobody will have them. One
will not actually suffer from any disease,
but will imagine that something is wrong
and be ever complaining about some
ailment or other. Only when Moon is
also afflicted by the dasa-natha according
to Vimshottdhari Dasa, there will be
mental derangement or at least neuras-
thenia.
Neptune, forming evil aspect with Moon,
shows that the person will have indisposi-
tion through Sychic conditions. He may
become the prey of spirit controls and
subjected to mediumship. He should
avoid seances.
Moon, conjoined with Sun in 6, confers
on the native a creative spirit, and he will
be skilled in machinery and stone work.
Where Moon conjoins with Mars, the
he may be a dealer in hammers, ploughs,
agriculture instruments, earthern jars,
drinks, and may also gain through women.
He will not have harmonious and happy
with mother. There may be
enmity and troubles through mother.
Moon conjoined with Mercury will bring
fortune to him; by his sweet tongue,
clever and cunning action, he will be en-
dowed with good luck and fame. He may
be employed as an interpreter, agent or
salesman. He may serve in any textile
department. Moon, conjoined with
Jupiter in the 6th house, shows that he
will come PUt successful in litigation, and
will enjoy easy over-draft facilities. If
either of them happens to be the lord of
5, the native will have unexpected gains
all his undertakings. He may gain in
lottery, speculation, etc. It causes Lagna-
Adhi-Yoga.. , If Moon is conjoined with
Jupiter, he may work in a finance,
or law, or religious department or Bank.
4
 But Venus in conjunction with Moon,
causing the same Lagna-Adhi-Yoga, shows
that one may gain in arts, music, painting,
tailoring, silk, scent, and perfumery ; or
he maybe an adept inweaving, dyeing, etc.
It indicates acquisition of vehicles, landed
property, etc., especially if one is born
in Libra (Thulam). Moon, in conjunction
with Saturn in the 6th house, puts always
in want, and he will be going on borrowing,
and increasing the debts. It is bad for
finance. One may be forced to borrow
from a person who will inform others
that he had lent money and he will
further be reminding the borrower
now and then. The creditor will
make his life miserable. One may deal-
in mine produce, kerosene, coal.or be a
porter, coojy, rickshaw puller or a
menial.
AriesMesha Lagna: For people born
in Aries or Mesha, Moon will be in Virgo
or Kanni in either Uthara Palguni star 2nd.
3rd or 4th pada or quarter, Hastha, or
Chithrafirst half or the 1st and the 2nd
padas. Therefore one born in Aries,
Moon in Sun's constellation in the sixth
house, will give the results of lord of 4 in
the constellation of lord of. 5 in the sixth
house. So, one may have, proper educa-
tion and training in speculation, share
business, music, cinema, opera or
idrama. His children may lose money.
)lf this is the female's chart, the husband
will have a change in his profession and he
will have satisfactory increase in his
income i as to the seventh house, Moon is
lord of 10, and is in the constellation of
lord of 11 occupying 12th house. Thus,
one has to read the result. To the father
of the native, Moon will prove to be
unhelpful in his profession and business.
Moon in Hastha star indicates that he
may have education in textile engineering,
shipping, etc. He will be a good publicity
officer or salesman. He may be a medical
representative and take up agencies also.
Mars' aspect will give service in Navy.
For the mother of the person, it gives
short journeys ; for the children, it threa-
tens loss; for wife ox husband, it promises
promotion in another institution, and for
father loss, danger and enmity.
5
Moon in Chithra star stows loss,
litigation, worries and failure in one's
attempts. Mother will have unexpected
gains and enjoy a fortune. Children will
go far away and prosecute their further
studies, as to the 5th house the lord of
Chithra star is Mars who rules the fourth
and the ninth houses, counted from the
fifth house indicating children. The
husband or the wife will be incurring
unexpected expenses and cannot enjoy
peaceful life with partner. The father
will have a speculative mind and he will
invariably be losing his fortune in games,
betting, and races.
TaurusRishaba Lagna: People born
in Taurus-Risbaba Ascendant or Lagna
will have the Moon in Libra (Thulam) in
the 6th house. So. one is to read the
results as follows; Moon owns the thiid
house. The stars in Thulam (Libra) are
Chithra 3rd and 4th quarters ruled by
Mars, lord of 7 and 12, Swathi ruled by
Rahu and Vis^kam 1st, 2nd and 3rd
padas governed by Jupiter, lord of 8 and
11. So, one is to read the results as lord
of 3 in the constellation of lord of 7 and
12, or lord of 3 in the constellation of
Rahu (note the house occupied by Rahu)
and lord of 3 in the constellation of lord
of 8 and 11.
If Moon is in Chithra 3rd or 4th pada,
for those born in Rishaba (Taurus), there
is the danger of robbery while travelling.
Correspondence will widen the gap and one
will become more and more inimical with
partners in business or life. It will lead
to litigation. The mother of the native
will have similar experiences of losing
money, while making short journeys; or
she may be pickpocketed. Or she may
invest money on publications. The
children may come by a treasure.
Sudden and unexpected advantages will
accrue for them. To the father of the
native, there will be expansion in his busi-
ness, and he will be able to get a partner
for the business.
Moon in Swathi star gives the results,
depending on the position of Rahu in the
horoscope.
Moon in the sixth house. in Visakam
star in the constellation of Jupiter, the
 lord of 8 and 11, indicates that there will
be sickness and demise of cousins and
brothers. One may have to make short
journeys due to such incidents. There
may be false accusations, etc. Also new
friendship will be formed, and there
will be legacy or unexpected gains through
brother. One may enter into any agree-
ment with friends or take up any
contract.
GeminiMithuna Lagna; For people
born in Gemini, Moon is the lord of the
second house and will be in Scorpio in the
star Visakam 4th pada when Jupiter, lord
of 7 and 10, will rule it, or in Anuradha
star governed by Saturn, lord of 8 and 9,
or in iyeshta star governed by Mercury,
lord of 1 and 4. Hence, those who had
Moon in Visakam 4th Pada will have
increase in their income, promotion,
improvement in their status, gain by
marriage, contract, business, and in all
dealings With others, especially with
women. But if Moon is afflicted, there
will be trouble in unions, and through
open enemies, competition and theft. To
his brother, it indicates disposal of
permanent possession, as lord of 12 is in
the fourthhouseand in the constellation of
lord of 5 and 8 to the third house. To
mother it shows pleasure and profit in her
enterprises. To children peace, promotion,
and prosperity are promised. To wife it
indicates pleasant expenses and purchases.
To father permanency in his service and
some opposition in his office is indicated.
Moon in Anuradha star indicates that
there will be much of expenses due to
partner or wife, especially due to their
short journeys, or, one may have to send
.money for their use. Also, one may gain
through books, by trading at sea, long
journeys, philosophy, religion, science,
and through brother-in-law. Brother will
spend away money, whereas younger
sister's husband will have promotion-
Mother will worry herself due to certain
unpleasant correspondence and notice.
Children may invest money on lands and
buildings, or purchase a~car, mostly Ahe
former. Wife will open a fixed deposit
account in Bank, as the planet is in 12 to
the seventh house and it is the lord of
6
the second house (12 is for investmeni,
locking up of money, thus reducing the
cash on hand, whereas the second house
shows bank position). Father will have a
transfer in his profession.
Moon in Jyeshta star indicates that the
lord of 2 is in the constellation of lord of
1 and 4, and is occupying the 6th house.
Therefore, the native will acquire land or
conveyance, and he will enjoy satisfactory
bank position. If overdraft facilities are
needed, he can have it easily. Money
comes readily. It will not be hard to
accumulate money. One can expect good
returns from the estate and investments.
Brother will have larger income and
also an equal increase in the expenses.
Mother will have substantial gains,
especially in any betting, lottery, etc.
Those who are born in Gemini, having
Moon in Jyeshta star, can expect such
gains to mother during Mercury Dasa,
Moon Bhukti, Mercury Anthara and also
during Moon Dasa, Mercury Bhukti- It is
advisable to purchase prize bonds, etc., in
her name. To the children of the Gemini
borns, Moon indicates that they may
go overseas for higher education, or they
may come in contact with foreigners and
enter into contract with them. The partner
in business will gain much, and will be
receiving his share of profit. Father will
be running a dangerous time, or there will
be difficulties in his business or profession
due to secret inimical activities.
CancerKataka Lagna: For people
born in this sign, Moon is the lord of the
Lagnaanditwill be in Sagittarius-Dhanus
in Moolam star or Poorvashada star or
Uthrashada 1st pada. Moolam is ruled
by Kethu; Poorvashada is governed by
Venus and Uthrashada by Sun.
Therefore, the lord of Lagna will give
the results of Kethu or Sukra or Sun.
If the birth were to be at a time when
Kethu was in Moolam, the results of
Moon will be similar to what Kethu
indicates to the native, by its occupation.
For those born with Moon in Poorvashada,
.it is very good. For, he will .be . able, to
come out successful in all his attemps
without any obstacle or delay. He will
gain in all the transactions. He will gain
 through lands, mines, inheritance,
vehicles, taxi, transport, hire purchase,
Finance Corporation, etc. Late in life he
will be more successful. He will have a
large number of friends in high circles,
and will receive much assistance from
them; he will enjoy much pleasure in life.
He will be able to realize his hopes and
wishes. Lady friends will be more nelpful-
Brothers will have similar results. Mother
may lose money in her transactions.
Children will also incur loss. Wife will
gain by speculation, and will enjoy real
fortune. Father will find it difficult to
meet both ends and will be expecting
assistance from others. He should not
venture and risk money in games, betting,
etc. Invariably, he will lose. Marriage
of any member in the family will take
place, and money will be spent in enter-
tainments.
Moon in Uthrashada star promises good
luck to the native. He cannot lose in any
competition. Lord of I in the constella-
tion of lord of 2 and in the 6th touse is the
strongest promise that the native will
surely gain through speculation, etc. Such
people must necessarily buy lottery tickets,
prize bonds, etc. During the conjoined
period of Moon and Sun, they must win,
especially through Government prize
bonds, as Sun represents Government. If
one is not already in service, he can expect
a decent appointment, mostly in Govern-
mentFinance department, Reserve Bank,
commerce, international trade, external
aifairs, courts, legal department, etc.
Brother will be able to invest on landed
properties and also gain most satisfactorily
in his transactions. Mother gains by publi-
cation or by short travels or through her
brother. Children will obtain scholarship
from Government to go overseas and prO'
secute further studies, or they may submit
any thesis and come out successful- It
is a good position for them to enter into
foreign service and be popular. Wife may
not maintain good health and it is likely
that hospitalisationraay be needed. Father
7
will have good understanding with higher
officials and can look for improvement in
his position.
Leo^Sifflha-Ascendant or Lagna: Those
who are born in the sign Leo will have
Moon in the sixth house in Uthrashada
star 2nd, 3rd or 4th pada governed by Sun,
or in Sravanara star governed by Moon,
or in Dhanishta star ruled by Mars. Sun
is the lord of the Lagna Leo, Moon is
lord of 12 and Mars is lord of the fourth
and the ninth bouses.
Therefore, for those, Moon in the sixth
house in Uthrashada star shows that the
native will have fortune in a place other
than his own native place and that he will
find it difficult to over-come his animosity.
There will be troubles; but he will face
them boldly and come out successful. He
may get into service in any isolation
hospital, asylum, jail, intelligence depart-
ment, etc. A large circle of friends in the
profession and much profit in the business,
are indicated to his brother. Mother will
go on long travels and she will be benefited
by them. Children will be meeting un-
common and unnecessary expenses through
strangers. Wife will be suffering from
disease and she will be admitted into the
hospital. Father may have larger returns
from permanent investments.
Moon in Sravanam star is unfavourable
for Leo-boms as they will be losing heavily
in every transaction. There will always
be someone to harm them. Secret inimical
activities are indicated. In the Court of
Law,his own witnesses will turn hostile.
Such people:should never stand for elec-
tion. All those persons on whom he
depends for support will give false hopes
and will work only for his opponent. Any
person can stand for election, and without
exertion, come out victorious, if he under-
stands that his opponent has Moon in 6, in
Sravanam star.
Thus, one is to judge the results of
Moon in 6, to the persons bore in other
rasis.
 MERCURY, THE MESSENGER
Mercury in the Ascendant or Lagna will
make a person intelligent, quick-witted and
sharp as it rules the central nervous system.
Mercury absorbs the character of the
planets with which it is favourably
connected, by contact or aspect. So, it is
convertible and it is necessary to pay close
attention to the sign it occupies and also
the aspect it receives from other planets.
Mantreswafa says that Mercury (Budha) in
the Lagna makes one clever. He can
speak sweetly, learn all sastras and be
long-lived. Mercury will give these results
according to its nature only when it is in
Gemini-Mithuna or in Virgo-Kanni. But,
one in Aries and Leo, will be impulsive
due to the fiery nature of the sign. In
watery signs Cancer-Kataka and Pisces-
Mecna, generally it produces a little dull-
witted people. But in the other watery
sign, Scorpio-Vrishchika, Mercury pro-
duces people who will be fiery, with the
energy given by the lord of the sign Mars,
and he will also not mind to wound others,
as he will be having the venomous sting of
the Scorpion. Mercury mostly gives the
person, the inquiring mind. One can adopt
himself or herself to circumstances. He
will be resourceful. He will grasp quickly,
retain it for a long period and reproduce
the same very ably. Students who get by
heart from the first line to the last in the
books, will be having Mercury in the
Ascendant. He will be studious. He may
take up any art as hobby; he will become
a great anist. As he is endowed with fertile
imagination, he can show his originality.
As a lawyer, one will be able to cross-
examine the witnesses of the opponent and
get answers suitably so that he can win the
case. Mercury is a fast moving planet It
owns the common signs indicating that one
will never take a decision quickly, but
waver, vacillate and try to have many
changes. He prefers journeys, as Gemini,
owned by Mercury is the third house of the
Zodiac indicating short travels. Mercu-
rians are always quick in thought They will
consider the pros and cons. There is much
delay in finalising. But when once,he decides
he will be very quick in action. It is more
like a car which gives trouble to start with,
9
but later picks up speed satisfactorily.
Planets conjoined with Mercury will modify
results. Mercury and Sun are beneficial for
physicians, engineers, mathematicians,
and judges.
Mercury and Moon may give taste for
textile engineering ; marine engineering
and psychology.
Mercury and Mars-Mechanical engineer-
ing, military engineering, publication, press.
Mercury and Jupitera good theologian;
banking, cost account, journalism.
Mercury and Venus indicate music,
singing, art, sculpture, sanitary engineering,
radio.
Mercury and Saturn produce statisti-
cians, engineers, those who commit forgery
or an expert to find it out, detective work,
mine engineer.
Mercury and Uranus indicate invention,
discovery, research, originality.
Mercury and Neptune indicate astro-
logy, foresight, prophecy by the control of
devils, by clair-audience, Yakshini, etc.
Mercury in the twelve signs: Mercury
in ARIES makes one quick in thought and
hold in speech, impulsive and argumen-
tative. One will exaggerate things uncon-
sciously. Mercury makes one broadminded,
generous and liberal. One will be studious.
He can grasp the situations and ideas very
quickly but his opinions will not be steady.
General restlessness, lack of order and
method are his weaknesses. Saturn's bene-
ficial aspect to Mercury will offer stability,
and his mind will not be vacillating. But
if Mercury is afflicted, one will be unreli-
able, irresponsible, antagonistic, disputa-
tive, cunning, indecisive and rash.
Taurus occupied by Mercury shows that
the person will have pleasing manners,
liking the company of tfie opposite sex,
music, art, refined arbusement, recreation
and pleasure. . The mind will be deter-
mined. He )vill not change often. But to
arrive at a. conclusion and \o form an
opioion Or pass an order, be may take
much ti^ne. But wherronce a thing is done
it is fin.'al. The sign Taurus, being thesecond
 sign in the Zodiac which indicates speech,
etc., Mercury in this sign makes the person
less talkative. He may observe the proverb
" Silence is goldenOccasionally his
speech will be witty or funny. He is best
fitted to be an arbitrator or a judge, as he
possesses good reasoning power. He may be
obstinate and persevering. He has his own
likes and dislikes. He will have great desire
to save money and improve his bank posi-
tion, in spite of being liberal in giving
donations.
Gemini occupied by Mercury makes one
ingenius, very clever, resourceful and
sympathetic. He will be quick to grasp
and also to give out his opinion on any
subject. New things will attract him. He
will not lose his temoer, nor will he get
prejudiced. He will prove to be a good
orator, lawyer, professor, messenger, sales-
man, propagandist, publicity officer, busi-
nessman, contractor, etc. He will be fond
of short travels. He will be inclined to
speculate. He can give information in
meticulous detail on the topics of the day.
He will be uptodate and thorough.
Cancer occupied by Mercury produces
one with clear intellect and good memory.
One will be diplomatic, discreet and adapt-
able. He is best fitted to be the Personal
Assistant or Secretary of a High Official,
holding a transferable post This person
will adjust himself to the opinions and
ideas of his successor even though he who
is transferred and the other who has taken
charge, are diametrically opposite in their
views. If one who has Mercury in Cancer
becomes the officer, anybody can have
things done through him by simply Qatler-
ing him in his presence. Even though he
may like frequent changes, journey, etc,,
be will have the desire to reunite with his
family members and take them to picnic
or to any refined amusement
He may be spiritually inclined and also
interested in psyohic matters. Crossing
the river or the sea will be much liked by
this person.
Leo occupied by Mercury gives the
person ambition, lofty mind and high
rJ.deals-. Hewill.be positive.and persever-
ing, persistent and confident He, may be
sympathetic and kind-hearted. He is short-
tempered but he has the mind to forget and

forgive. He hates meaii actions. He is
outspoken and frank. He is capable of
organising and controlling others. He can
concentrate and take any decision. He will
pursue in any one line. He will be fond
of his children. Leo, being the fifth sign of
the Zodiac, he will interest himsclfin music,
drama, cinema, sports, fine arts, etc. He
will find great pleasure in mingling with
the opposite sex. He will prove himself
to be a good gambler or a share-broker. If
Mercury is afflicted in Leo, he should never
gamble, especially during periods of Mer-
cury. If Neptune afflicts, there is always
the danger through drugs which will affect
the heart as Leo indicates heart.
Virgo occupied by Mercury indicates
that the person is indeed very, very intelli-
gent, and occasionally cunning, too. He
will be cautious and comprehensive, practi-
cal and prudent. It gives a scientific mind.
One can be very eloquent and logical. It is
likely that one can express himself in many
languages also. He will be a wellinformed
and wide-awake worker. He will prove
to be a good journalist, writer, author,
novelist and critic. As it is an earthy sign,
he will look before he leaps. Mercury gives
taste for mathematics, hygiene, engineering,
accounts, auditing, prophylactics, nursing,
etc. As years pass on, during the period
of Mercury, his ingenuity, orginality and
capacity will be recognised, admired and
appreciated. If Mercury is afflicted, he will
ever speak ill of others, will always find
fault with them, pass criticism and incur
their displeasure.
Libra occupied by Mercury indicates
that one will be level-headed, well-balanced
and broad-minded. He will have dispassi-
onate disposition, a mind which will reason
out, and will be just and good to all. As it
is an airy .sign, he will be fond of music,
art and all mental pursuits. Venus, being
the Lord of Libra, he will-be social in all
clubs. He will take keen interest in social
welfare work. He will be a platform spea-
ker. If Mercury is afflicted, there may be
trouble with partner in life or in business.
Law suits are not ruled out. His partner
will be clever and cunning^ he may also
'be Unfaithfuf.1^"'""5- u J
--
Mercury in Scorpio: The person will
be witty and will have a sharp tongue with
caustic remarks and biting sarcasm. He
will be determined and forceful, bold and
dauntless. There will be the desire to gain
more and more knowledge and pursue the
hobby till he becomes an expert in it. He
may develop mesmeric ability and study
occult and mystical subjects. Painting and
sculpture may attract him.
If Mercury is afflicted, the person will be
curious, cynical and critical. Hence he
cannot have many good friends. Also he
may have many chances to come up in life ;
but due to his weaknesses, he will not avail
of them and will repent later. His partner
in life will be lucky.
Saggittarlus occupied by Mercury
indicates that one will be generous, just,
sincere, ambitious and impulsive. One may
be religious and dutiful ; law-abiding and
honest Though he may have ultra-modern
views, yet he will follow tradition. He
is ever progressive though somewhat
changeable. Both mentally and physically,
he will be active. He enjoys the natural
scenery; may wish to lead a natural and
pleasant life; will gain much through
journeys. He will be able to give in detail
the customs and manners of the people,
living in the various parts of the world,
after having personal contacts. He will be
fond of mathematics and journalism. He
may be good in sports, and will enjoy his
life with his family members. He may
have many pet animals. He will be much
respected by his relatives and friends.
Mercury in CAPRICORN gives a sharp
and acute mind. The person will be tact-
ful and diplomatic. He will be curious and
critical. He has a suspicious mind. He may
be peevish and fickle-minded. Saturn ruling
the sign Capricorn, gives discontentment.
He may be economical, prudent and pains-
taking. He cannot keep quiet. He will be
ever busy, doing something or other.
Unless his object has been gained, he will
not give up his undertaking. This sign
gives a love for literature, science, chemis-
try, and philosophy. He will not waste.
He will hold on to what he gains and
always keep something for the rainy day.
will, have organising ability. > If Mer-
cury is afflicted, he will be miserly, vindic-
11
tive and sp itcful. He is prepared to do any-
thing to have his desires fulfilled. He will
be aware of what mean action he does, but
he will not hesitate to do it-
Aquarius, occupied by Mercury at the
time of birth, makes the mind original and
refined. He will be penetrative and critical.
It gives the qualities of Uranus. He will
have his own ideals ; he will not care for
tradition; he will repudiate all the social
conventions. Even in dress, he will have
his own way ; his style will be different
from others. Probably, he may preach and
advocate ideas on subjects which may
come up after many decades. He will
develop his spiritual life ; he will be able
to concentrate and meditate. He will be a
great reader, deeo thinker, and intellieent
adviser. He will be kind to all and loyal.
He will be fond of science, occult and
metaphysical subjects, etc. He will be
good at mathematics. He is best suited
for research work, business management,
political and social work. He will mix
only with the intellectuals. He will have
elderly persons as his good friends.
Pisces occupied by Mercury is said to
be debilitated here. But yet, Pisces being
the watery sign and an occult one, the
person will be endowed with psychic
faculty. He will have correct intuition and
good imagination. One may not have deep
and profound application to study. He
will be kind and sympathetic. He will
be liberal and generous. He is adaptable
and adjusting. He is best suited to be the
private secretary. But he will be changing
the master very often. He will be fond of
pleasure, recreation, etc. He likes boating
and travel across water. He may interest
himself in navy, nursing, hygiene, occult
subjects and philosophy. He prefers to be
alone and attend to his work. He may
undertake research in nutrition or prophy-
lactics. Retrograde Mercury in this house
gains strength, and if it is afflicted by Nep-
tune, he should not attempt for psychic
powers. It is dangerous. Saturn, afflicting
Mercury in this sign, makes one a pessimist.
He will always be gloomy and will fall a
victim of never ending worry. Good aspect
-to Mercury in this sign-helps the native to
make money without much effort.

In the January issue of our magazine,
the chart of a high official who gained a
decent sum in a sweep was furnished. He
was born on 23rd November, 1899. (By
mistake the year of birth was printed as
1879 in the January issue. Kindly carry
out the correction.) His ascendant was
Thulam (Libra). The sudden gain was

Generally it is said that houses 2 and 5
offer one the opportunity to make money
by speculation, lottery, betting, etc. The
other houses do not indicate such sudden
gains. If that is so, how can Moon in its
dasa especially, in its bhukti, give gains
without pains? 10th house indicates pro-
fession. Moon rules the 10th house. It
also occupies its own rasi. How then has
it given unexpected fortune?
The prediction was based on
Krishnamurthy Paddhathi. A planet may
own any house. It may occupy any
house. But the sources of one^s income
and his efforts in any direction are indi-
cated by . the lord of the star in which it
was posited and also through the lord of
the sub-portion in-the star. Moon was in
Pushyam star ruled by Saturn. Pushyam

extends from 3 degrees 20 minutes to 16
degrees 40 minutes in Kataka, But Moon
was in 13 degrees 2 minutes. If you refer
to the table furnished by. the author of the
Paddhathi, Prof. K. S. Krishnamurthi,
in the January' issue under the tile
"Krishnamurthy Paddhathi", you will
note that between 12 degrees 53 minutes
and 14 degrees 53 minutes in the star
Pushya ruled by Saturn, Rahu rules the
sub. Therefore Moon is under the sway
of both Saturn aiid Rahu. Saturn is lord
of 5 and it is in the second bhava though
in the third sign Dhanus. Hence it gives
the mind to speculate. Seven planets are in
the sign Scorpio (Vrischika). Mars, Venus,
Rahu and Mercury alone are in Scorpio and
also in the second bhava. It is a truism that
Rahu'or Kethu will ever be stronger thaii
the lord of the house; in which they are
 posited and also the planets with which
thev are conjoined. Hence, Rahu in Vris-
chika is to give the results of the lord of
the sign in which it was posited (which in
this case is Mars), and also the results of
the other planets with which it was con-
joined. Rahu is stronger than the other
planets in the second house and its lord.
Mars. As Moon was in Saturn's star
Pushyam and the sub of Rahu, Moon
derives the power to giveitsresults through
the affairs indicated by the 5th and the
2nd houses. Thus, Moon has to offer
the results indicated by the 5th and the
2nd houses.
When Moon's dasa was on, the planet
in the Moon's star or Moon's sub can
offer those results indicated by Moon. The
only planet thus gaining the strength of
Moon is Jupiter which was in Scorpio
(Vrischika) in its own star Visakam and
in the sub of Moon.
If one is to gain in a competition or in
betting, the opponent will lose much.
The opponent is indicated in all hores-
copes by the seventh house. Loss is indi^
cated by the 12th house. Therefore, the
12th house to the seventh is the 6th house
to the native. Therefore the lord of the
6th house and the planet in 6 will bring
about loss to the opponent and the native
will gain. Jupiter is the lord of the sixth
house. Hence Jupiter and Moon alone
can give this result. That is to bring about
loss to the opponct and gain suddenly to
the native through betting etc., provided
the dasa lord has anything to do with the
fifth and the second houses.
According to the Udu dasa system and
according to Gochara, why should he have
the beneficial result on 9-5-1955. All along,
it was discussed that the planets. Moon
14
and Jupiter, promise gains by speculation.
That swabhukti will be indifferent or bad,
is generally predicted by astrologers
who simply reproduce the slokas without
doing research based on actual facts. It
should be noted that during the time when
Jupiter transits the sign ruled by the lord
of dasa, the dasanatha will confer favour-
able results. Therefore, in the present
case, at the time Jupiter transits in Cancer
(Kataka) ruled by Moon, lucky time has
to be predicted. According to Krishnaraurti
Paddathi, the sub-portion should be ruled
by Moon. Actually, on 8th and 9th May
1955, Jupiter was in 3 degrees 25 to 30
minutes in Cancer and according to
Western system it formed exact trine
aspect with its original position at the
time of birth.
One may ask why this native should not
again similarly secure such a gain in
Moon dasa, Jupiter sub-period and Moon
or Jupiter sub-period. He is correct but
hasty. He has to note whether, at that
time, Jupiter will transist in the sign ruled
by dasanatha Moon or bhuktinatha Guru.
This position will not be repeated. But
during that period, the native had larger
income from his permanent possessions
and improvement in service.
Unless the dasa system, Gocharam, etc.
agree, one cannot enjoy the results.
At the moment the native received the
cash, the lagna was the first degree in
Cancer and Moon ws in Jyeshta
Mercury's star in Mars sign Vrischika.
The day was Monday ruled by the dasa-
natha Moon.
Hence one can understand that a correct
prediction can be given by following the
stellar system and much better still by
adopting Krisbnamurthi Paddathi.

Therefore, tt4e Jst> jQth and 19th stars Stars 3, 12 and 21 belong to Aroha and

a, 17 ano 26 ^;0 Avaroha of Thigh. Kazhuthu or neck.
 Stars 5, 14 and 23 belong to Siro Rajju.
1. If both the bride's star and the bride-
groom's star belong to the same group*
is said that they do not agree. For
example, if the girl is born in Rohini
Kazhuthu (neck) Rajju and the boy is bom
in Hastbam or Sravanam which also
belongs to the same Aroha Kazhuthu
Rajju, then one should not predict that
they concord. According to this rule,
they should not be matched. But if the
stars of the bride and bridegroom belong
to different groups, i.e., if the Rajjus are
different, e.g., one Kazhuthu and the other
nabhi etc., they agree satisfactorily accor-
ding to this rule. This is considered as
very good.
2. If the stars of both the bride and the
bridegroom belong to Arohana in different
groups, it is excellent.
3. Even though they may belong to
different groups and one is Arohana and
the other is Avarohana, the agreement is
fair. ' s
4. If the stars of the couple belon^to
different groups but both are in Avarohani;.
it is not satisfactory.
5. Even if they belong to the same Rajju,
if one's star is in Arohana and the other in
Avarohana, they may be matched. . It- is
classified as Fair.
If the couple are destined to marry and
the stars belong to the same pada (foot)
Rajju, what would be the evil result ? Does
it threaten short life to the husband? No.
But the husband will be ever touring and
thereby there will be temporary separation.
Is this Rajju evil, if one considers that the
temporary separation iswelcome, especially
between the couple who do not have good
understanding and quarrel occasionally?
Will not this temporary separation set
right their difficulties ? Let us consider the
families where the husband has no other
go, except to remain at home for ever.
Then, naturally, there will be more occa-
sions to quarrel whereby harmony is
denied. Therefore, this Rajju docs not
threaten danger to partner, and if at all, it
shows frequent journeys to them.
But if they belong to Tlugh (Ooru-
thodai) Rajju, it shows that there will be
16
financial loss. Suppose a person's chart
shows that he will become rich. Then,
how far this agreement will affect his
fortune needs consideration. This agree-
ment will never reduce his income, nor
increase his expenses. Actually, a native
was born in Pushyam star, and she married
one in Poorvapalguni star. He entered
service as a stenographer in a firm and he
retired as one of the Directors of the
Company. His prosperity is not prevented
by this Rajju. He was all through life
economical and never incurred a loss, nor
had he any occasion to meet any un-
common or unnecessary expenses. The
wife was more thrifty and she assisted her
husband to save much. Therefore, as long
as this Rajju does not indicate danger to
life, one need not discard a horoscope on
this score.
The next group is Nabhi (navel) Rajju.
The results mentioned by our sages are
that there may be danger to children and a
few may pass away. When we examine
the horoscopes of the parents who had lost
the first, the second issues, etc., and then
name the third issue, Kuppu, Pitchai, etc.
we do not find that they have this Nabhi
itejju. Therefore, loss of children, is not
indicated only by this Rajju, but it must be
foun*! their birth. charts. Hence, this
Rajju iV neither evil nor strong.

anything definitely exc^P ^at we have to
accept this.
A few astrologers reje;Ct horoscopes
of the bride and bridegrc'oin' hoth born in
Mrigasirisham or Chitra stars, saying
that there is Siro Rajju tan^ ^at Rajju
porutham is very importan ' True. But
we have to consider that 1.our sages were
aware of all the rules, whei es ^ey framed
them. So a question .aris
same sage would have a ^nsidered this
point also, while discussing naksha-
thrasame staragreement; it is declared
that the partners, both born in Mrigasi-
risha star or in Chitra star, can marry and
the Dinaporutham is satisfactory. Dina-
porutham also indicates health and longe-
vity. Our opinion is that both are
correct. Dinaporutham shows that they
both will live long. But Rajju shows that
after having led a married life for a long
number of years, the husband will pass
away first and then only the wife. Have
we not heard a few couples living upto 80
years of age and longer and then the wife
surviving the husband ?
Special rule : If the couple had Moon
at the time of their birth in the signs ruled
by planets which ate friendly, or if the
Moon signs of the couple were to be in
Sama sapthama, i.e., one opposite to the
other (i.e., Mesha to Thulam, Rishaba to
Vrischika, and so on) or if they are
born with Moon in the same sign, tben
such a position wards off the evil results
indicated by Rajju-porutham. When we
apply this special rule, we will find that
the trine stars are mostly in the house
ruled by bosom friends and the trine
stars are said to be in the same Rajju.
Here also confusion will arise in the minds
of the students.
For example,, you take a girl bom in
Aswini and a boy in Makham. It is said
that, if the boy or girl is born in Makham,
then Dasaporulham need not be considered.
But if you consider Rajju porutham
where it is said that Rajju porutham is
very importantyou find that they belong
to the same Rajju. When you apply the
other special rule, you will find that one
belongs to AriesMeshaand the other
belongs to LeoSim hawhich are ruled
by Mars and Sun who are friends. So
according to this rule, there can be no
evil due to Rajju. Similarly when we
apply to each star, we will find that the
trine stars are mostly in the friendst
quarters except the following :
Karthikafs first pada in Aries will
not agree with Ulhrapalguni 2nd
3rd & 4th pad as, and similarly,
Uthrashada 2, 3.and.^th padas,.
as they are in enemies, camp.
Karthikai 2nd, 3rd and 4th padas
17
do not agree with Uthrapalguni
and Utharashada first pada, as
the signs are ruled by the enemy,
Sun or Jupiter.
Punarvasu 1, 2 and 3 padas are in
Mercury's sign, Gemini; Visakara
4th pada and Poorvapathrapada
4th pada are in Mars sign
Scorpio, and Jupiter's sign Pisces
respectively, which alone do not
come under this special rule, and
so we have to say that they do
not agree.
Excepting the few mentioned above, all
other stars are in friends* quarters. So if
one applies the special rule, then this
Rajju does not play much part at all.
Again let us take the horoscopes of the
unfortunate widows and get from them
their husbands' charts also. In most of
the cases, there is no Rajju at all, and
according to Rajju porutham, the horos-
copes do agree most satisfactorily. Then,
one is to consider also the horoscopes
of those where there is Rajju, but yet
the bride pre-deceases and the husband
remains a widower. The analytical study
and research show that the longevity,
the health, the number of years of married
life, and who would survive whom, are to
be carefully studied from their individual
horoscopes and this Rajju porutham has
no final say in the matter. Rajju cannot
change the results indicated by the indivi-
vidual horoscopes.
Also if one studies the stars classified in "
one group, it will be seen that the lords of
the stars are bosom friends. Saturn rules
the stars Pushyam, Anuradha and Uthrat-
tadhi. The three stars which belong to the
same Rajju are Bharani, Poorvapalguni
and Poorvashada stars, which are governed
by Venus. Both are friends. Similarly,
Karthikai trine stars are ruled by Sun and
the same Rajju belong to the friend
Jupiter, i.e., Punarvasu trine. Hence, in our
opinion this Dasa porutham is not a
strong indicator of any result in the
married life.
There are many general rules, and also t
innumerable special rules. When all are
applied, then all the horoscopes can be
 matched, oi* quoting any one rule, they can
be rejected. Thus, the rules suffer in the
hands of the students of astrology. Our
strong advice is to study the individual
horoscopes and pass an opinion. Do
not commit any sin, by saying that a
particular pair of horoscopes agree, and
the other pair do not, without under-
standing the strength of their horoscopes
separately.
10. Vcdhai:
(a) If either of the couple is born in
Aswini star, do not match with
one born in Jyeshta or Kettai.
(b) Bharani star native does not
agree with Pushyam star born.
(c) Karthikai and Visakam stais Jo
not match.
(d) Rohini star does not concord with
Swathi.
(e) Arudhra and Sravana stars
disagree.
(f) Punarvasu and Uthrashada dis-
agree.
(g) Pushyam and Poorvashada show
vedhai.
(h) Aslesha and Moolam do not
concord.
(i) Makham and Revathi are un-
satisfactory.
(j) Mrigasirisha and Chithrai do
not concord.
For Poorvapalguni or Pooram stars
there is no Vedhai. This agreement
indicates' that if the above group of
couple get married, they cannot pull on
peacefully; there will be repulsion, and
hence, they will always disagree, and their
married life will not be harmonious. It
cannot give pleasure to them.
Thus, these are the Ten agreements
considered by the parents of the couple
before the marriage is fixed.
There are a few more agreements which
are also observed. Especially in North
India, Nadi Porutham is taken into serious
consideration. They divide the stars into
three groups, namely:
(a) The stars Karthikai, Rohini,
Ashlesha, Makham, Swathi,
18
Visakam, Uthrashada, Sravana
and Revati, these nine belong
to Vama Parswa Nadi.
(b) The stars Aswini, Arudhra,
Punarvasu, Uthrapalguni, Has-
tham, Jyeshta, Moolam, Satha-
bisha and Poorvapathrapada
belong to Dakshina Parswa
Nadi.
(c) The remaining nine stars,
Bharani, Mrigasirisha, Pushyam,
Poorvapalguni, Chithrai, Anu-
radha, Poorvashada, Dhanishta
and Uthrapathrapada, belong to
the middle, Madhyoma Parswa
Nadi.
It is said that if the bride and the
bridegroom belong to different Nadis,
they agree very favourably.
If they both belong to Madhyama
Nadi, it is evil to the husband.
If they belong to the same Parswa
Nadi, it is undesirable to the bride.
If one refers to " Kalaprakasikaa
standard text-book, one will find many
more agreements observed by our ances-
tors before fixing up a marriage. Thus :
1. The stars are classified into three
groups:
(a) Male or masculine stars;
(b) female or feminine stars;
(c) effeminate stars*
Female stars are Ashlesha, Makam,
Pooram or Poorvapalguni, Uthram or
Uthrapalguni, Arudhra, Bharani, Chithrai,
Swathi, Visakam, PoOrvashada, Uthra-
shada, Jyeshta, Dhanishta and Sravanam.
Effeminate stars are Mrigasirisha,
Sathabisha and Moolam.
All other stars are masculine ones, i.e.,
Aswini, Karthikai, Rohini, Punarvasu,
Pushyam Hastha, Anuradha, Poorva-
pathrapada, Uthrapathrapada and Revathi.
If the bridegroom is born in the
masculine stars and bride in the feminine
stars, they agree satisfactorily. But if the
bride is_ born in masculine stars and the
bridegroom in any one of the feminine
stars, they will not match. If one is
born in any one of the effeminate stars
 and the other in any one of the feminine
stars, the agreement may be classibed as
fair. So also, if the effeminate star and
the male star borns are combined, the
result will be moderate.
If both the couple are born in mascu-
line stars they can be matched ; so also, if
both are born in feminine stars, they also
concord.
Nowhere is it mentioned what the
result would be, if a girl born in a
masculine star marries a boy in a femi-
nine star. Nor has it been said what for
this agreement is considered.
Gothram
Originally, our ancients selected 28
stars and they had the star Abhijit includ-
ed along with the 27 stars now in vogue.
Abhijit is given a place next to
Sravanam.
They took the seven stars and called
them by the names of seven Rishis
Saptha rishisMarichi, Vashista, Angi-
risha, Athri, Pulasthiya, Pulaha and
Krithu. They distiibutcd the 28 stars
among the seven rishis, each 4 stars in the
same order, i.e., Aswini, Bharani, ICarthi-
kai and Rohini belong to Marichi;
Mrigasirisha, Arudhra, Punarvasu and
Pushyam belong to Vashista; Aslesha,
Makham, Poorvapalguni and Uthra-
palguni belong to Angirasa ; and so on.
In " Kalaprakasika M it is said ;
EJcagothrac Bhavain Nasoe
Binna Gothrae Subhavaha "
Hence, couple bora in any of the four
stars belonging to the same group, i.e., to
the same rishi, should not get married, as
it threatens danger to either and it- brings
misfortune to both.
Caste according tD'Astrology
ICatakam or Cancer, Meenam or
Pisces, and Vrischikam or Scorpio,or
all the three watery signsbelong to
the Brahmin Caste.
LeoSimha, SaggittariusDhanus, and
LibraThulam belong to Kshathriya
caste.
. MeshaAries, MithunaGemini, and
KumbhaAquarius rule the Vaishyas. -
20
RishabaTaurus, MakaraCapricorn,
KanniVirgo, belong to Sudras.
The rank is given in the order, Brahmin,
Kshatriya, Vaisya, and Sudra.
It is said that a bridegroom should not
marry a girl born in the rasi belonging to
the higher caste. It is threatened that the
person, marrying a girl born in the higher
caste, will die within a short time after
marriage.
Thus, one can see the various methods
by which one makes a selection. He will
be puzzled to see that if one method
agrees, the other does not agree. If the
special rules are applied, most of the
horoscopes agree, etc., indeed, it is neither
a correct method to declare how lone
the couple will live, whether there will
be harmony or not, and so on, nor is this
method clear without any contradiction
between one rule and the other. Under
one method, they will agree and under
another rule they will not.
Just as marks are given in the mathe-
matics paper, a few astrologers give
marks. There also, they do not take into
consideration which sum is hard, and how
much the total mark for that sum should
be, and so on. They give equal marks to
all. Finally, they declare that the two
horoscopes agree, as more than 5 agree-
ments are found in the charts.
We do not attach much importance to
these. In the end of the article, one can
read the chapter Nimithamand Sakunam
which are more dependable: (a) to know
whether the marriage between any two
persons will be fixed and celebrated or
not; and (b) whether they will have a
happy and harmonious life, or not.
Without examining the horoscopes,
certain facts can be predicted by follow-
ing the methods given below ;
1 - Will the marriage take place
between A and B? Suppose this is the
question put by the consultant. You can
say that the marriage will surely take
place between them and there will be no
disappointment, if to the Lagna that rises
according to the. number given ..by-) the
consultant, (any number within 108
between 1 and 108), Moon is posited at
the time of the query in any of the houses
3, 5, 7, 10 or 11 and it receives the bene-
ficial aspect from the benefic Jupiter.
Otherwise, it will fall through. If both
Guru and Sani aspect, aftet some delay,
the marriage will be fixed. If Guru is
retrograde, this will fall through.
2. Will I be able to get a girl for
marriage? This question will be put gene-
rally by one who had been much depressed
and dejected and who would have grown
old without getting married for a long
period.
If LibraThulam, TaurusRishaba or
Cancer-Kataka happen to be the Ascen-
dant according to the number given by the
consultant (any one number within 108),
if Moon and Venus have any connection
to the Ascendant, then the querist can be
informed that he will get a girl, and the
marriage will take place.
But if the question is put during waning
Moon, KrishnapakshaTheipiraiif Moon
occupies either 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 or 12th house
from the Prasna Lagna, he can see the
girls walking here and there, in the market,
in the bus, at the cinema theatre, etc., with
their husbands, but he will never have one
girl for his marriage and he cannot enjoy
like them. If Moon were to be in 8 and
if evil planets aspect, he will ever be
worrying himself but will never get
married.
If a query is put by a girl confidentially
to find out whether she will be able to
marry a particular person whom she has
in mind, you have to note whether the
Moon is in 3, 5, 7, 10, II and it receives as-
pect from JupiterGuru ; if this condition
is satisfied, she will marry; but if Moon
were to be in 5, receiving Jupiter's aspect,
the marriage will take place, but there is
danger to either within 8 years after the
marriage.
If, at the time of the query, the Lagna
is occupied by Mars and in the seventh
house, there is a beneficial planet, either
her character is not satisfactory, or she
may lose her children during her lifetime,
and she will lose her husband in 8 years.
-
If Mars is in the seventh* house counted
from the Prasna Lagna which is occupied
21
by Moon, it is certain that she will lose
her husband within 8 years after marriage.
If there is a debilitated planet in the
fifth house counted from the Prasna Lagna;
and if it receives aspect from any malefic,
the girl may have bad character and her
children may not have Jong life.
Marriages fixed by sakunam (Omen)
The parents get vexed when they go on
collecting horoscopes and getting examined
them by a few astrologers. They complain
that the astrologers haveagreedto disagree
with each other, just like clocks in the
same compound. They are already
worried in finding out a suitable boy for
the girl. Secondly, there are so many
other considerations in the selection of the
boy. In their anxiety, they are confused.
When they approach the astrologer in a
confused state, they are still more
confused, so that, in course of time, they
decide not to consult any astrologer, and
they pin their faith in God, look at the
Sakunam or Nimilham, and fix up the
marriage, which is really good.
Such people and even those who have
faith not only in astrology, but also in
the astrologer whom they consult, can
follow Sakunam. It is the real Divine
guidance. It will never fail. Sakunam is
more important than the Dasaporutham.
This is our honest and sincere opinion.
He who has to take a decision after
noting the Sakunam, should pray to God
or Goddess in whom he or she has faith.
Then, what one hears or sees at that time
will offer the correct prediction. One
should not artificially create a Sakunam,
e.g., at the lime you start, you should not
instruct your child to turn the key of the
alarm time-piece and allow it to ring; nor
ask any Sumangali, a young girl, leading
a good life with her husband to come in
front of you. But you allow the Sakunam
to nature.
If the cat were to come before you,
once for all forget the matter and give up
the attempt. If a cow comes, proceed.
If anybody, brings the idoL-:t)./God^pro-
ceed. Even if you are sure that you will
come by fortune, if you make an attempt
in any direction and if at that time a
widow were to come, be sure that you will
be disappointed and misfortune will surely
be the result.
If you hear the sound of a bell, etc,, you
may proceed. If the light is put off by
strong wind or if the electric light fails due
to 'fuse of the wire' or failure of the
current, it foreshadows evil results, and
that the alliance in consideration will fall
through. Similarly, there are hundreds of
omensSakunams.
Varahamihira says that an omen reveals
the fruition of his deeds, according to the
good deeds and bad ones done in the
previous birth. Omens are not supersti-
tious beliefs. Actually ihey arc very
correct indications. Sa-gunam means
good quality. That is why this method
of finding out the truth is called Sakunam.
There are many other omens which are
rural, wild, aquatic, terrestrial, heavenly,
diurnal, nocturnal, and kiurnal nocturnal.
All these will be explained separately in
later issues.
Nimitham :
Nimitham needs intelligence to interpret.
But _ if it is properly interpreted, this is
superior to Sakunam and will . be' more
appropriate and explanatory.
It will not be out of place if a few
instances are given. Once a Guru was
teaching the students as how to interpret
incidents and understand the future. At
that time, the Guru's wife went out of
the house to fetch water from a common
well provided with a pulley alone. She
had to take the rope and the bucket.
She did carry them along with her. In
the meanwhile, a gentleman approached
the teacher and requested him to offer a
prediction.
The Guru asked him "What is your
difficulty ? What is it that you want ? "
The person said : ' My wife and I did
not pull on amicably. She went to her
native place a year ago, and in spile of
my repeated: reminders- and. registered,
letters, sh^ never cared to reply. I am
really worried. 1 would like to know
22
whether she will divorce me, desert me and
leave me in the lurch, or at least, after
some time, she will come to her senses and
join me/
As he was saying this, the Guru's wife
returned empty handed and waited for the
visilorto finish his narration. The moment
he completed his story, she said to her
husband that the rope, she used gave way,
while dragging the water and hence, the
pot has fallen into the well.
Now, the Guru asked the students to
interpret his wife's report to die query of
the visitor.
All the students except one told the
Guru : 'Sir, we call marriage, as a bond-
age; wc tic the saffron thread around the
neck of the bride to show, that she is
married. We call it as Thali, or Mangalya
saradu. As your wife complains that the
rope has given way, we have to take that
the mangalya saradu has become weak;
it will be cut off shortly, and hence she
will not join him. It will end in a
divorce.'
Only one student remained silent and
was hearing the explanation of all the
others. Even the visitor was upset, when
he heard the lady saying * the rope has
given way'. He called her within himself
' as Saturn: wherefrom this Saturn is
come now, and so on '. The Guru asked
the student ' What is your opinion ? What
have you got to say ? Do you agree with
them or do you differ from them ?1
This intelligent student said " Sir, it is a
fact that Mangalyam is a thread and tying
it around the neck of the bride is the
custom to say that the bride is married to
hira. Traditionally, it is done by us all.
But now, we have to consider as follows.
The rope used for pulling the water from
the well is the evil force which tries to
separate a part of the water from the large
quantity of water in the well. This potful
of water belongs to the well. The rope
tries to separate this water from its kin.
But the evil period is over. The rope has
given way. .There is no more evil. Hence,
shortly, she will come and join hira, just
like the water in the pot which belonged to
 the well again joined in that well and is
safe."
The wise teacher agreed with the
student, who gave the verdict that the wife
would come and join, encouraged the
visitor, and declared that divorce was out
of question, and that his wife would
surely come and join him. Also he
advised him to wait for some time, till the
evil period was over, so that automatically
she would come and join him.
Actually after the lapse of some time,
the wife joined her husband.
Thus, the incident may be one and the
same, but the interpretation may be both-
ways. The wise interpretation alone will
come true.
A few more instances are given to
impress upon the minds of the readers
how God helps the astrologer and gives
him confidence and courage to predict
correctly from the Nimitham.
The editor had been teaching the students
of Astrology at Saidapet under the auspices
of the Modern Astrological Research
Institute for which he was, and continues
to be, the founder-President. At that time,
a young man produced a slip of paper to
the Professor in which he had written that
his wife was in the family way, and
according to calculations, she was
running the 11th month. There was
no labour pain and the date of delivery
could not be guessed by him. He was
much worried. The professor asked him:
"Give me a number within 108". He
mentioned the number 27. After calcula-
tions, he had to predict twin-birth. He
wanted to gather courage to declare this
prediction, especially in the presence of
many students. Wherefrom can he have
the confidence? He looked outside. At
that time, an old lady was carrying on her
waist a bag, and a cow ran by her side.
She got terrified. She lei loose the bag.
While falling, the bag which appeared to
be one, fell as two separate ones. Imme-
diately the teacher predicted that his wife
will give birth to twins on Wednesday.
The prediction was given on Sunday. It
is a fact that he had twin birth' on the
next Wednesday. The lady, carrying one
23
bag, represents his wife in the family way.
When the bag fell, it was found that she
had been carrying both the bundles in one
waist. What more guidance can the
astrologer have?
One day, a gentleman asked the
astrologer to tell him whether his son who
was in London for the past two years,
would return home soon after his exami-
nation, or whether he would stay there
itself. Even though, according to Prasna,
the astrologer decided to say that he
would go to a place still farther away from
London, and that he would not return
then, yet he waited for guidance. A bird,
which was sitting on the ground about 100
yards away from the professor, flew far-
ther away from the professor and did not
ily towards him. So, he said boldly thai
his sou would not remain in London, or
that he would return home, but that he
would proceed farther. In a fortnight, he
heard that his son had left for America.
A college girl asked the astrologer to
describe the physical features of the person
whom she might marry. At that time the
professor looked outside and an elephant
was passing by. Guess what the Astrologer
would have told. He said that at the time
of query. Moon and Jupiter were together
in a watery sign and that he hesitated to
say that the husband would be plumpy.
The appearance of the elephant gave him
the confirmation that the prospective
husband would be stout, with very small
and sharp eyes. Also it was mentioned
that he would be very intelligent and
dutiful, which proved correct; but this
prediction is offered more as a consolation
and compensation for the pot-bellied
husband.
One of the students, who had beeii
observing such predictions, wanted to test
the professor. He requested the professor
on another day to describe the physical
features of the girl whom his father bad
selected for him. At that time a school-
going girl came with a letter and delivered
it to the professor. The girl was black,
not so much as the crow: she was squint-
eyed. She was lean and tall. According
to Prasha,'he had to offer similar predict
lion. This girl's visit at that time was
helpful to describe the bride selected for
the student. It was really, a surprise for
him to see that the bride resembled
mostly this girl.
When a boy , asked the astrologer
whether he would pass the examination,
the astrologer took a newspaper and in it
was printed boldly: 'Grand success to...
...in the election at ' In the next
column it was published c Relief to tax'.
Why should the astrologer look to Prasna ?
He has to offer similar prediction, and
give relief to the boy's worry. That is
why, in olden days, people used to turn
WHAT SHALL I DREAM ?
If you remain unmarried and if you
desire to have a very soft husband dream
in the night that you had a tailor for your
beau. Also dream that you are pleased
with him. Then this dream indicates that
you will marry a gentle, modest and soft
person who will allow you to be both
mistress and also master from the time of
over the page of a holy book, read the
contents and interpret it according to their
query.
Thus, instances can be multiplied. But
let us be content with these. Therefore,
we have to understand that SAKUNAM
AND NIMITHAM ARE TRUE INDI-
CATIONS. One should consider the
individual horoscopes, study for longevity,
harmony, happiness, prosperity, etc., and
should not confuse oneself with Dasa
porutham and Mars (Angaraka or Sevvai
or Kuja) Doshara-

which runs as follows:

wed
Will marry one who'll be a bg in bed;
And she'll be master, too. of all his riches.

24
 MOLES AND THEIR MEANING
Shin ; Moles in the shin indicate that
one will not suffer even in adverse periods
but he will have the Providential Help to
enjoy his life. During favourable time,
he will be more lucky than other people.
He will be liberal, and hence he may
not become very rich. Yet, he will never
be in want. Whatever he desires, will be
satisfactorily fulfilled.
Shoulder: Moles on the right shoulder
indicate that he will marry a lucky
partner. There will be good under-
standing between the couple or among the
partners in business. He will have both
social and financial success. Due to the
influence of the large number of good
friends he will have a successful career.
He will be benefited by them. He can
make long journeys. He will not waste
money; every trip will be fruitful. He
will not feel sorry that such good chances
come in his old age or when he was an
infant. It will be in his adult age when he
can enjoy to his satisfaction. The moles

perity. If the mole is on either of the
shoulders, one will be economical, prudent
and frugal. He will be patiently working
without getting tired or dejected before he
comes out successful in his efforts. He
will be industrious. He. is neither dull,
nor very intelligent He will not be frank
and outspoken.
Side: On either side of the body, near
any of the ribs, if there is one mole or
many, the person lacks courage and
confidence. He may be cowardly in
disposition and fond of easy life. He will
not be ambitious. He will have no
inclination to amass wealth. He is
contented even though he may remain
poor. Therefore, he is not respected by
his own relatives and friends. Even his
wife will not co-operate with him. Due.
to her disappointment and dissatisfaction
25
in having him as partner, she will
show her disagreeable temper now and
then. Will the children, at least, be obedi-
ent and dutiful ? No. It is a pity that he is
denied that also. Can he be without
difficulties? How is it possible when he is
lazy and lethargic, and at the same time,
he does not work for the improvement of
the bank position ? It is the bank position
and the income of a person that makes
one a man ; then alone he will be respected
by all. That is why he will be disliked
by his kith and kin. Further he will be
given to drinking and will thereby waste the
money. He will have no pleasures of love,
etc. Anyhow, a bad position for the mole
is the side of the body.
Stomach: The mole in the pit of the
stomach indicates that the person will
beeome rich. He will be industrious. He
may not qualify much. But with his
common sense, he will be able tocarry out
his work to the entire satisfaction of his
superiors. He will have pleasant manners
and an accommodative temperament.
If the mole is in the lower part of the
stomach, he will never hesitate to give
promises to help others by using his
influence, and he will not actually do any-
thing ; e.g., he may promise to donate
Rs. 100, but finally may give nP. 50.
If he is rich, then the persons who ap-
proach him to lend money will be visiting
liis place many times and every time he
will give some excuse or other, and
continue to give further hopes. Only the
person who believed him all along has to
forget him, after he has become dejected.
Because of his riches, it will appear as
though he is respected by others outwardly
even though inwardly everybody will curse
him. It would have been helpful to the
people if the mole which indicates such a
character is in the face or so, so that on
looking at the mole, one can judge how far
one can rely on that person. Unfortuna-
tely, the mole in that lower part of the
stomach indicates this kind of person.
Throat: The mole in the throat is a
very good position. It indicates that one
may not be personally fortunate; but he
will have a lucky and rich partner in life.
It is observed that ladies, having such a
mole, find that their husbands, though
born in an obscure family at the time of
marriage, yet they become rich from the
time of marriage, and they come to the
front of the public, be popular and pros-
26
perous. In most of the cases, rich boys
marry poor girls, who have moles in the
throat or in the chin.
(Moles in the body, the lines in the hand,
and the positions and relation of the
heavenly bodies at the time of birth, reveal
the life story of every being. How the
presence of moles in the body can be
connected to the position of planets in one's
horoscope and similar.results are promised
by the planets, also will be explained.
Moles indicate the nature of the result
but not the time of event.)

"The Temptor,' will tempt you and if you
fall a victim, you are sure to lose. The
partner may go away for a short period,
and there will be temporary separation.
This state of affairs will not continue
Jong. On 27-7-64 Saturn again enters into
the sub of Jupiter when you will receive
the help from lawyers, judges, politicians
and professors. You will tide over diffi-
culties and regain peace of mind. There
will be reunion with partner in life.
Depression will end. You will attend
to your duties with great enthusiasm and
will be optimistic. Compromise with
the servants and labour is also promised.
Children will come out successful in their
examinations. Some 'vill t^ke up new
business. I" '' _ father of the
nalivemay hr*"*prosperity.

All-round success is promised up to
21-8-64.
Between 21-8-64 and 18-9-64, similar
results as you could have had between
2-3-64 and 12-4-64 will be again enjoyed.
Whatever effects Saturn had produced
between 13-3-64 and 23-3-64 will .again be
repeated between 18-9-64 and 9-10-64.
For a longer duration, much better results
will be enjoyed by you between 9-10-64
and 25-11-64 and the nature of result will
be similar to what you had between 8-3-64
and 13-3-64. Because, on both the occasions
the sub in the constellation of Mars, was
ruled by Sun, lord of 11. Thereafter, till
the end of the year, the same results
enjoyed by you between 23-3-64 and 12-4-64
will operate.
(Always the nature of the result and the
source are strongly indicated by the lord
of the star and the sub. The sub-lord
clearly indicates the exact period when one
can expect.)
ScorpioVrishchika: People born with
Scorpio as Ascendant (or Vrischika Lagna)
have to refer under Scorpio. It is also
applicable to those born in Visakam 4th
pada, Anuradha and Jyeshta constellations
when Moon was in Scorpio at the time of
A lo -It T
16th November and 15th December any
year, when Sun was in this sign according
to Nirayana system.
On 26-1-64, Saturn came to Kumbha
and was in the sub of Mercury in the star
Dhanishta ruled by Mars, lord of 1 and 6.
It is an evil one. Health of the native
would be causing anxiety. Those who
had piles or blood pressure could have
had expert medical aid to avert the
danger. The pressure from the creditors
and the necessity to meet many demands
also might upset one. Therefore between
26-1-64 and 11-2-64 it was an unfavourable
fortnight.
Between 11-2-64 and 18-2-64 Saturn had
proceeded to the sub of Kethu. Hence the
threat of the creditors would have distur-
bed your peace of mind and caused worry.
A few -might have entered into litigation.
Tenants would have given trouble. There
 migbt have been loss through short
journeys. Silly quarrels with brothers and
neighbours are indicated. Or it would
haye ended in separation from them.
Brother might purchase a car with your
assistance. Wife also could have gone on
a journey but she had neither difficulty
nor loss.
Between 18-2-64 and 7-3-64 Saturn will
be in the sub of Venus. This is the period
when one will be able to repay debt and
regain peace. Assistance from friends will
come uncalled for. In a way, you will get
over difficulties. If you take up any ven-
ture now, you can be sure of success shortly.
You can depend on those whom you
approach. Brothers also will enjoy most
beneficial results now. They may have
substantial gains without pains. Children
alone may not maintain normal health.
Father may buy a car or land.
Between 7-3-64 and 13-3-64, the sub
transited by Saturn is governed by Sun.
Therefore he who had been trying to enter
into Government service so far, will now
secure one. Those in business will be
successful in obtaining the licence, for the
import, etc., from Government. A few
may start new business. It is likely that
the tenders of contractors, bom in this
cjon anrl in fhp fi_itnrPi thpiy
may have to supply materials or erect
buildings. Young and active people may
become the representatives of any medical
and chemical concern. To become a
liaison officer, this is indeed, a good
period.
Between 13-3-64 and 23-3-64 Saturn will
be under the sway of Moon. Hence, one
may make attempts to go on a long
journey and also borrow. Or one may
try for higher education and go overseas.
Connections with strangers and foreigners
will prove to be fruitful. Editing, publi-
shing, etc., will also be popular and
receipt of money that had been locked-up
for long will help to avoid unpleasantness.
It is likely that mother falls ill and brother"
gets married. Generally during the period
of lord of 3, transiting in the sub of lord of
9 and in the constellation of lord of lagna,
one can expect youngcr's marriage; be-
cause, lord of 3 represents younger brother.
29
9th house is the 7th from the 3rd and the
lagna of the person is the lUhfrora the
3rd. Always the younger brothers gain
whenever lords of 1,3,4 and 9 jointly
operate.
Between 23-3-64 and 12-4-64, Saturn
enters into the star Sathabhisha which
is ruled by Rahu. If one had already
enjoyed the period of Saturn Dasa, Rahu
Bhukti in his lifetime, then he can
expect the same type of results to a much
less extent than what he enjoyed then.
Note whether Rahii is good or bad.
If it is well posited in your chart, then
you can expect agreeable results; other-
wise the results will not be agreeable. If
Rahu had occupied the 10th house, you
will have expansion of the business, larger
profits, benefits from Government, etc.
This result will also be enjoyed if Rahu
had occupied the stars Karthigai, Uthra-
palguni or Uthrashada star ruled by Sun,
the lord of 10. If Rahu had been occupy-
ing the 12th house, it indicates monetary
loss, change of place, litigation and secret
inimical activities. Between 12-4-64 and
5-5-64, Saturn transits in the favourable
sub of Jupiter. It will help much to have
speedy turn-over in business, to get back
the money that had been entangled all
along, to have a child or any son getting
into service m a lai-oil piacc, oi^. Bui ii
is not good for gambling or making money
in the share-market. It is helpful only to
the opponent. Even in election or in any
competition, one may have to lose. But
the person will be courageous and will not
feel sorry for the failure. In these days,
one may purchase costly jewels for his
wife. Or if the chart belongs to a lady,
the husband will get a decent position in
his career, by coming out successful in
any competitive examination or interview.
Partners will be able to expand the busi-
ness.
Between 5-5-64 and 15-6-1964, Saturn
transits in its own sub in direct motion.
Then till 27th July it is retrograde and is
in the same sub. If Rahu had been bad,
this sub period will prove to,be.very bad-
Hence it is necessary to'judge" properly
the results of Rahu in one's chart. Saturn
is evil by nature. As lord of 3 and 4, it
does not improve. Rahu is another male-
fic by nature and if he occupies undesir-
able houses, one has to be careful in these
days. Labour trouble may crop up. The
vehicle and the house will be requiring
urgent and unavoidable repairs. Money
position will become more and more tight.
In the office, higher officials may not
appreciate the arduous nature of the work
and give relief ; whereas unnecessary pin-
pricks will depress the native. In business,
the turn-over will be poor. It will be
dull, and money will get entangled.
Life is like a wheel and one will
neither suffer long, nor enjoy uniformly.
Again Jupiter comes for rescue. Good-
natured people or those who have Jupiter
as a ruling planet will lend their assistance
and help you to get out of the troubles.
Your son also will assist you. Normal
conditions in business will again prevail.
The dues long outstanding will be received.
If the native is a contractor and has
some difference of opinion with the engi-
neers and if his case is taken up by the
arbitrator, this is the season when be can
expect favourable orders and payments
made in his favour. If there is any litiga-
tion in a court of law, it is better you
enter into a compromise as it will be
beneficial to you. It is a lucky period for
j'vUi' to 51-w maiiJcu.
Between 5-5-64 and 15-6-64, Saturn
passes on its own sub in direct motion
and between 15th June and 27th July, it is
retrograde. It is again a dull, lethargic
one. But there will be frequent short
journeys. Neighbours will be helpful.
Writers and authors will be able to com-
plete their books and release them. Brother
gets promoted. Mother goes on a journey
and there will be temporary separation.
Children also will be touring. Partner in
business is capable of improving the busi-^
ness and arrange for further expansion.
He may go overseas and make efforts to
take up agency or obtain foreign collabo-
ration. He may try for international
trade.
Between 27th July and 21st August,-all
matters take a favourable turn. Reunion
in the family, return of the partner, or his
or her grand success will contribute to
30
your peace of mind. You will attend to
your duty with greater zeal. Bank posi-
tion will automatically improve. Popula-
rity will also increase. It is a jolly good
time for a short period just like the bright
sunny day in the continuous rainy season-
A few may have Grahapravesam into
their new house. The brokers of landed
properties and cars will book larger
profits. Those in the cinema line or music
will also gain much in these days. They
should make all efforts to come out suc-
cessful, especially those who were not
fortunate in the examination on the last
occasion. Shortly, you will come out
successful.
From 21st August to 18th September,
Saturn will be in Rahu sub. Those, to
whom Rahu was good, can exepct decent
promotion to partner, long journey and
success in higher studies. Those who
work in mine-ores, will have larger profits
and greater transport facilities. Those in
the transport department can have a
change for the better. Dealers in auto-
mobiles, motor spare-parts, etc., will
expand their business. The financial posi-
tion of the younger ones will be
satisfactory. Mother may go on a journey.
Father's health may cause anxiety which

ana lb-9-64, Saturn again enters into the
star Dhanishta governed by Mars and the
sub is ruled by Moon. Hence the results
which will be enjoyed now will be more or
lesssimilar to what you had between
2-3-64 and 12-4-64. It is a desirable oue.
Next, Saturn will be in the sub of Sun bet-
ween 18-9-64 and 9-10-64 and the benefit
will be just what it was during the Sun sub
period: it is favourable for the fulfilment
of your hopes and desires. Between 9-10-64
and25-11-64, the results will improve.
Thereafter, between 25-11-64 and
15-12-64, your partner's health may not be
alright. You may have to pay medical
bills and loans previously outstanding.
Short journeys will not bring immediate
fruit. You may have some trouble with
brokers or servants. Your colleagues will
not cooperate with you now.
After 15-12-64, Saturn will offer such
results which it gave between 23-3-64 and
 12-4-64, and the next year will he a happy
one, much better than the present one.
SagittariusDhanus: This refers to
people born in the ninth sign of the Zodiac
Sagittarius as their Ascendant, or to those
who are born while Moon was transiting
in the constellations Moolam, Poorva-
shada or Uthrashada first pada, at the time
of birth, or when Sun was passing in
Dhanus when the birth date was between
16th Decpmber and 13th January any year.
The so-called Sade-Sati came to an end
on 26-1-64 when Saturn left the sign Capri-
corn and entered into Aquarius-Kumbha-
This is mentioned by those who predict
the transit results taking the position of
Moon at birth. Such a method of predic-
tion is not offered by Westerners. Many
who follow the Hindu system will be
happy to not2 that the evil period has
come to an end and that better period
will follow especially after Jupiter enters
Aries, the fifth sign from the position of
Moon in Sagittarius. In their experience,
they will observe that it is an approxima-
tion to some people and not exact one to
all. In many cases the opposite results
will be experienced.
The explanation is that:
1. the radical position of the planets
is not taken into consideration. One
may have a friend and a foe born in the
same star. The person may have Saturn
in Taurus, whereas the friend or enemy
may have Saturn in Aries. For the native,
when Saturn transits in Aquarius, it will
square its original position, whereas for
the other it will form harmonious aspect.
Hence, the results must be just opposite to
each other.
2. the constellation and the sub in
which a planet is transiting is not conside-
red, When Moon is given importance for
transit results, the lunar mansion is some-
how omitted. In practice, it will be seen
that the lord of the constellation alone
offers the nature of the results and the sub
is more important for fixing the exact time.
Saturnon 26-1-64 entered Aquarius and
was in the sub of Mercury till '11^2-64. It
is a period when some would have had
32
changes in the institution with satisfactory
increase in salary. A few would have
received arrears of pay. The contractors
might have received the amount which was
long pending. New contracts would have
been signed by the cine actors. Increase
in the income of the musicians during this
period was also promised. To come out
successful in all the efforts and to have
the benefit from thegovernment, this period
is propitious. The birth of a child is
also likely. The health of the native will
improve.
Between 11-2-64 and 18-2-64 Saturn was
in the star of Mars and the sub of Kethu,
It indicates visit to holy places and
meeting great sages. One may donate for
the renovation of a temple or spend
money on religious functions. Though
there is no adverse result in this week,
something or other would have caused
unnecessary worry.
Between 18-2-64 and 7-3-64, the sub is
ruled by Venus, lord of 6 and 11. Those
who are having litigation may enter
into a compromise which will result
favourably. Younger brothers will have
some improvement in their health and
thereafter it will not worsen. They will start
attending to their normal duties. Children
will come by unexpected fortune. The
partner in business may proceed on a long
anxiety. Speculators will make satisfac-
tory gains in their transactions, especially
when they are " Bears ,s.
Between 7-3-64 and 13-3-64, Saturn will
be in the sub of Sun who is lord of 9. As
Dhanishta is ruled by lord of 12, it is
likely that a few may enter into foreign
service, while a few may go overseas and
enter into a contract with foreigners.
Advantages from the Government and
high officials are also indicated. Students
sitting for competitive examinations and
those who are interviewed for any selection
will be successful. Providential help is
promised.
13-3-64 to 23-3-64 is the period when
Saturn would be in the sub of Moon.
This is an anxious time. Worry end diffi-
culties will increase. In spite of all comforts
and success in his own personal attempts.
 unavoidable troubles will lessen his
enthusiasm. It is likely that he will
differ from officials and incur their dis-
pleasure; health of younger ones will again
cause anxiety. A few may invest money
on landed properties or change their
residence.
On 23-3-64 Saturn enters into the star
Sathabhisha, ruled by Rahu. If Rahu
would have occupied a sign other than
Cancer (Kataka), and Scorpio (Vrish-
chika), or if Rahu had not occupied
Moon's star Rohini, Hastham, or
Sravanam or Mars is tar Mrigasirisham,
Chithrai or Dhanishta, the native can
expect financial improvement, peace of
mind, prosperity in business, success in
his efforts and vast advancement in his
career which was denied in the past two
^ears when Moon was transiting in Srava-
nam star governed by the lord of eight.
Between 23-3-64 and 12-4-64 only,
those to whom Rahu was ill-posited as
mentioned above, will face many problems
and they will be saying that even though
seven and a half years Saturn is over, the
trouble had not come to an end, whereas
fresh ones also crop up. If Rahu is
beneficially posited, health of brother will
improve. The partner will return after her
short tour. Litigation will end in a com-
promise. There will be no more waste of
money, in uiw ncui i'uiuio.
Between 12-4-64 and 5-5-64, the sub-
period is very good. Happy celebrations
at home, change of residence and con-
struction of a new house, partner's
promotion in service, and partner joining
a new concern are all likely. There will
be many social functions. Popularity will
increase. Pleasant expenses also will
go up equally in this period. Those who
expect the facilities from bankers will
have them to their entire satisfaction with-
out any further delay. Those who would
desire to study further will have their
wish-also fulfilled. It is a pleasant time.
After 5th May till 15th June, Saturn
will be in direct motion. Thereafter it is
retrograde and is in the same sub of
33
Saturn till 27tb July. In this period, all
worries will come to an end. Health of
all the members will be satisfactory. Un-
necessary expenses and waste will be red-
uced. Financially one will be economical
and will save, unlike in the previous sub-
period when for prestige much money
would have been spent. Many short
journeys may be made and the trips will
prove to be fruitful. Editing, publishing
or taking up any agency in this sub will
be advantageous. Generally Saturn tran-
siting in the third house is considered to
be beneficial. It will certainly be bene-
ficial when it transits in its own sub.
Therefore those born in Sagittarius have
to make the best use of this period.
The following one is also favourable, as
between 27-7-64 and 21-8-64 it will be
under the sway of Jupiter. Even certain
matters which would not have been
finished earlier within 27th July will be
completed now. Those who have been
erecting any building during the past few
months may celebrate " Grahapravesam ".
Some may get married though betrothal
alone could have taken place during the
past sub period. Thus one may note that
the native will enjoy material welfare in
this period and the future will appear to
be bright.
God never allows one to be ever happy
c-i iwvl u\.jCCkCC. nc gi\s:> u nrvun. jicv,
and then, when Saturn by retrograde
motion enters into the sub of Rahu, which
will not be agreeable. In the coming
months, the results that one may enjoy
will be similar to what he had in certain
periods in the previous sub as follows.
Whatever result one had between 2-3-64
and 12-4-64 will again repeat between
21-8-64 and 18-9-64. Results between
13-3-64 and 23-3-64 will again be fell
between 18-9-64 and 9-10-64. Saturn
produces the same effect between 9-10-64
and 25-1 1-64, as it did betweeen 8-3-64
and 13-3-64. The end of the year shows
some worry similar to what you had
between 23-3-64 and 12-4-64. The New
Year will be a pleasant and prosperous
one.
{Will be continued)
 ARE YOU RUNNING MARS PERIOD?
KNOW WHAT TO DO & WHAT TO AVOID
Mars' Major Period: Mars (Sevvai-Kuja-
Angaraka) runs its period for exactly seven
years. All the nine planets, Mars, Rahu,
Guru (Jupiter), Saturn (Sani), Mercury
(Budha), Kethu, Venus (Sukra), Sun (Ravi)
and Moon (Chandra) have their sub-
periods in the order given. Each sub
period has its own duration and the total
period of seven years is not divided
equally among them ; but they are allotted
in the proportion in which they are given
the major period in the Vimshothari, i.e.,
in the total of 120 years. Mars' major
period in the LFdu (Nakshathra) Dasa of 120
years is 7 years, so Mars sub period
(bhukti) in Mars major period is 7/120 of
7 years or 4 months and 27 days.
In Mars' Major period or dasa, Mars'
sub period is the first. Likewise, the
bhukthiesof the other planets in Mars Dasa
or major period are worked out. Always
the first sub period is governed by the lord
of the dasa. Theft all of them, one after
another, follow in the same order as men-
tioned above. On the day when Mars dasa
commenrf > npr?.---1 mm.'O.-'AC
The following gives the sub period or
bhukti ruled by each planet in Mars Dasa.
Mars sub period : U years 4 months and
27 days.
Rahu sub period : 1 year and 18 days.
Guru-Jupiter: 11 months and 6 days.
Saturn-Sani: 1 year 1 month and 9 days.
Budha-Mercury : 11 months 27 days.
Kethu : 0 year 4 months 27 days.
Sukra-Venus : 1 year and 2 months.
Sun-Ravi: 4 months 6 days.
Moon-Chandra: 7 months. Thus the
seven years of Mars Dasa is distributed.
Quintessence of the Mars Period
By Nature : Mars symbolises the senses.
It rules over the animal instincts in every-
body. It is considered to be a malefic as,
34
in the charts of the majority of people,
either it will occupy evil houses or it may
receive evil aspects and hence it makes one
rash, a spendthrift and a squanderer of
money, commit anything on an impulse
and then repent, use sharp instruments
without exercising care and get injured,
talk very bluntly and invite trouble, be
fool-hardy, adamant, aggressive, argu-
mentative, assertive and.atrocious. But if
he owns beneficial houses and also occupies
favourable signs and receives harmonious
aspects, it gives one courage, confidence,
boldness and a go-a-head spirit. It offers
strength of mind and also physical
strength. He will be able to do all heroic
deeds. Mars is just opposite to Saturn.
It gives activity. One will not be lazy,
idle and lethargic, like the Saturnian. He
will have force of character and organising
ability. He will be determined and will
have a great desire to come out successful
in the material field. He will never relish
suggestions from others. He will act
according to bis own ccnsci^nce. He will
^iwavs trv to Ic'/d and oioTteer while he
nates suoordination and to carry on routine
and monotonous work. He will not be
rash. Nor will he be short-tempered. He
will be a self-made person.
Mars should be a benefic especially in
the horoscopes of the ladies. It plays a
very important role in their career. Bodily
they should not suffer from injuries, boils,
hysteria, troubles during monthly periods,
operation (cessarian) etc., during delivery
time, and so on. Mentally they should
not be masculine; otherwise, they will
command the partner, lose temper, and
will not mind quarrelling and occasionally
be very violent also. The poor husband
will be a victim to such a militant wife.
To lead a happy and harmonious life with
the wife, Mars should occupy a good posi-
tion in the horoscopes of both. Then it
will offset sickness arid "weakness and
instead, offer health and wealth.
 Constitution: Mars gives a strong and
well-built body. He will have proper
muscular development. It gives enough of
immunity and resistance against infectious
diseases. It has very great influence in the
woman's life. It rules the periodical func-
tions and shows either good or indiffefent
health according to the connections which
Mars has, or the aspects which Mars
receives. One may have ailment, but due
to courage or foolhardiness, may leave it
unattended and then get into a major
trouble, if Mars is afflicted. It rules the
muscular system, urino-genital organs, the
forehead, the nose, the blood vessels, the
testes, etc. If Mars has connection with
any planet, evil by nature or with the lord
of 6 or if it is aspected unfavourably by a
planet, during the conjoined period of the
evil planet and Mars, the disease indicated
by them will flare up and cause trouble to
the person.
Mental: One will be ambitious and
aspiring; bold or brutal; confident and
courageous; daring or destructive; ener-
getic of exciting ; ferocious or forceful 1
generous and gallant; head strong'or hectic;
industrious or impulsive; mechanical and
machine-like; oppressive and obstinate;
positive aud provoking ; quarrelsome and
quick; resourceful or reckless ; strong and
^ tsirVmUnr '
violent and venturesome; and warlike and
wilful.
What can one expect during Mars' period ;
Mars in the Ascendant or Lagna, when
well aspected, gives the native rapid
recovery from any ailment which he had
previously suffered from, even though it
may be a chronic one. It is considered to
be strong not only in its own sign but also
when it is exalted and when it occupies the
other two fiery signs, Leo (Simha), and
Sagittarius (Dhanus). It will infuse suffi-
cient energy into the body. He can tide
over the criticial periods. One will not
shun any effort to come out successful in
his attempts. Mars ushers energetic phase
with tension in the background. One will
be able to face any situation and act
immediately without -wasting time. Even
if any challenge is thrown, he will boldly
undertake to do it and prove that he can
35
accomplish anything without much exer-
tion and thathe can undertake high-spirited
moves as his courage will reach a fine level.
He will not mind the risk or danger
inherent in such actions. He will not give
room to lethargy; nor will he miss the bus
like a Saturnian and then feel sorry. Sun,
afflicting Mars in the Ascendant, causes
fever during MarsDasa, Sun bhukti. Moon
afflicting Mars causes boils, eruptive fever,
inflammation, bleeding, etc. Mercury
produces dysentery, hysteria, nervous ten-
sion, fits, etc. Jupiter threatens liability
to fracture or accident while travelling or
by rolling stock. Venus shows diseases
caused by indulgence of the passional
nature, venereal operation of the sex organs
etc. Saturn indicates fall and bruises.
Uranus shows sudden and unexpected
danger, whereas Neptune indicates risk in
water.
Mars in the second house receiving good
aspects shows that the person will be free
and generous in financial dealings with
others. He will have splendid opportunity
to acquire more and also spend equally.
One can make money by using fire, iron,
instruments, machinery, etc. He may
receive inheritance or legacy. But he will
be outrageously extravagant. He can
never learn to be careful with money and
>v less extravflQant. He is liable to repeat
financial shipwreck. He will be irank,
outspoken and blunt. His eyes may be
reddish and he may have bleeding in the
gums. Accidents to the eye may be caused
during the conjoined period of Mars and
Sun or Moon.
Mars in the third house gives the native
courage and confidence. His mind will be
keen and alert. It will be fond of argu-
ment and will be resourceful. If it is
afflicted, one is liable to accidents on short
journeys: there may be misunderstanding
with the brother. Partition in the family
will come up. Mars, receiving bad aspect,
shows that the native is generally critical
towards all and hence others will avoid his
company and they will not take him into
confidence. He will act as a Naradhar and
will create enmity among neighbours or
cousins: "Injury to* the ears Of arms, arid
throat trouble or tonsils are also indicated.
(Will be continued)
 due to conveyance. During the first fort-
night Saturn being in direct motion in
Salhayam indicates improvement in your
financial position. Contract and agency
business will flourish. Letters will have
encouraging response now and then.
Short trips will end favourably with the
help of your benefactors. Later, when
Saturn is retrograde, you may have to
meet with uncommon expenses or invest
more money in book publishing, or agency
business. There may be delay to have
response to your communications. Mars,
lord of 5 and 12 being in Krithigai till
22nd portends satisfactory gain in specu-
lation and investments you will not have
any worry by secret inimical activities.
Later, when Mars is in Rohini ruled by
lord of 8, it is advisable to be cautious and
avoid gambling. Venus, lord of 6 and 11
being retrograde throughout this month
threatens loss through litigation and
physical strain in social activities.
Mercury, being in Krithigai till 1 Ilh, offers
improvement in your status and emolu-
ments. Later when Mercury transits in
Rohini, you may have to work hard in

 This year Saturn entered Sathabhis^a
star on ' 23-3-1964 and moved " on '
only 5. In Sathabisha, the first two
degrees are evil. Then 2 to 30-47' it is
not 0bad. Again it is evil between 3-47'
to 5 -54't Hence Saturn will prove to be
definitely evil between, 23rd March and
18th September.
In the April issue, in the article Saturn's
transit to Cancer-borns in page 46,
the evil effects of such a transit were
indicated in no unmistakable terms.
It was emphatically slated. ''IfRahu
was in an unfavourable position at
the time of your birth, when Saturn
transits in Rabu's constellation in the
^ub of Rahu or Saturn you have to be
very careful. You should avoid driving
a car. You should not venture to cross a
busy road, you have to observe hygiene.
Chronic sufferers will have the relapse of
the disease. Patients with heart disease
and those who suffer from general nervous
debility, should not exert much. It is
beller to be on leave and be cautious. In
the same April issue, it was published as
follows:
" After 5-5-64 till 15lh June. Saturn
r-rcceeds in direction motion-
It is in the sub oi Saturn, yua wiii foJ
dull. Yod become pessimistic. You find
much opposition. Your servants may go
on strike. Whatever appeals to you now,
^will prove to be detrimental. Avoid
disputesyou will find that you are not
able to slick to any single programme-
You may even give up your principles.
Business will be discouraging, Health will
be causing worry or anxiety ".
These observations were made alwaysr
bearing Nefiruji's chart in mind and using
the most accurate method known as
"Krishnamurti Paddhathi
Readers are advised to use the
Ayanamsa published in ASTROLOGY
AND ATHR1SHTA in 1963 and also
follow KRISHNAMURTI PADDHATHI
for correct results.
People using other " Ayanamsas cannot
explain the passing away of Nehruji "on a
Wednesday, ruled by Mercury, on Jyesta
star day" governed by" Mercury and in the
Lagna Virgo owned by Mercury, If the
Bhukti is not ruled by Mercury, he
would not have bad bis end at the hour
ruled By only Mercury (the day, the star
and the Lagna).
According to the.Dasa-Bhukti system,
Nshruji had been running Rahu dasa
Mercury Bhukti from 1211-^1962. He
entered into Rahu anihra on 271J964
and it had to run till 1461964.
Actually he fell ill in January, recovered
in the middle very slowly and finally had
a sudden end.
According to Krishnarr urlf Paddhathi,
Rahu was in 12-49' in Gemini. So, it is
said to be in Mercury's Sign-Gemini, in
his own star Arudhra, and in the sub of
Mercury (i.e.,' between 12-33' to
14- 26'). Hence the combined'period of
Rahu and Mercury must prove to be evil.
Rahu was in the 12th sign. It was in
flth house. As his- lagna was Jn a
movable signchara rasithe llih
house is considered to be Bhadhaka
sthana. Hence Rahu in the I llh house is
to cause Maraka.
Budha (Mercury) as lord of 3 and 12 is
evil.
Hence during Rahu dasa. Mercury
Bhukti, Rahu anihra on Mercury's day-
ir- Tvrshtn star day Governed
by Mercury, in Virgo (Kanni) Lagna owned
by Mercury, he passed away.
According to transit, Sun, lord of 2, the
marakadhipathi was in Rohini, the star
of the lord of lagna, Moon and in the
sub of Rahu from 12 noon on 265-64,
It is in Rahu's sub till 285-^64 after-
noon. At 6-20 A.M. on 27564, Sun
was in the sub of Rahu and in the sub
sub of Saturn. Saturn is to cause pain

rheuniatic . pam ."(18-1-16+19)
120 c
after 9-29 A.M., Sun entered into Mercury
sub sub i.e., 12-46' in Taurus, It was
passing on in Mercury sub sub. It would
take 6 hours 48 minutes to com-
pletely pass Mercury sub sub. But
unfortunately in that Rahu's portion
u,
again came between 67 andj ^ 85 oI 6,
hours 48 mts i.e., 3 hours .47 mts-after
9-29 A.M. and 4 hours 45 min after 9-29
A.M., that is between 1-16 P.M. and 2-14
P.M. Actually the unfortunate moment
 Tell in this period. That no other method
can so precisely fix the time, is bur finding.
One may ask '* Panditji had lived for .
75 years. " Hence Saturn ought to have
transited the same degree, at an interval
of, roughly, 30 year^. Why has not Saturn
affected his life then? At least, had he
any evil result then?
Answer: Saturn was in Sathabhisha
star by transit throughout the year 1935.
When Sun transited the same position, in
Taurus in May 1935, Kamala was sent to
Europe for treatment- as the disease was
beyond cure. Our Premier, at that time
was in prison. He could not see her.
But he was released on 4935, when
her condition was worsened, so that he
could be with Kama-la. Around Christmas
1935 (Saturn was exactly in the same
position, as it was at the time of the death,
in the last week of May 1964.) Kamala
had the period of crisis What a mental
torture he could have had then, may be
imagined by the readers. He was not
running Rahu dasa at that time : otherwise
. it 'would have affected him. The period
was Sun dasa Mercury Bhukti Sun as lord
of 2 indicates family which includes wife.
Sun as lord of 8 to the 7th house and
Mercury as lord of 6 to the 7ih house, gave
serious ailment and ended the life of wife,
Kamala. In Moon dasa throughout
Mercury Bhukti he was in prison (as
Mercury was lord "of 12 and Moon was
lord of lagna).
During Mars (a Rajayogadhipathi) dasa
Mercury Bhukti, he had great honour in
foreign land and very frequent tours, as
indicated by lord of 3 and 12, [3rd ho"use
shows travels; 12th house, life in a foreign
.place.]
During Rahu dasa, Mercury Bhukti, end
of life came.
Therefore in every Mercury Bhukti, he
had been separated from kith and kin.
Either separation or bereavement is offered
by Mercury, Rahu in Mercury's sign is
..stronger than ^Mercury and he passed away.
In 1905, Nehru embarked to England
for study. If was the first time when he
left all his relatives and went to a foreign
land. - At that time Saturn was transiting
8
in Sathabisha star as it did in-the last
week of May 1964. Actually it was in
the same exact, position on 1621906.
At that time he had been running Kethu
dasa,' Venus BhuktiKethu was in the
6th sign 5th Imava. Maleficsin the 6th sign
show success in competition, sports, etc.
'Venus, lord of II indicates grand success
etc. Actually at that time he won the
half mile race, and received the prize.
(Whenever Rahu is evil in a horoscope
and it has to cause death, the node just
opposite to it, will offer long life and good
results.)
When there was a rumour of postal
strike, the students of the Modern Astro-
logical Research Institute wanted to find'
out whether the strike would come up
and if so, when. The Premier was at that
time running Saturn Bhukti according to
the Ayanamsa .used by the editor of this
magazine. Saturn shows labour trouble.
Therefore the strike was sure to come up.
As the dasa was ruled by Rahu, the strike
would commence on the day when moon
transitted in Sathabhisha star, ruled by
Rahu, in Saturn's sign.
Further Saul in the second house means
thnf 5f is in rhr A^htamn Sthnr.n to the 7th
house, indicating those who oppose the
Premier. Hence the strike was bound to
be a failure. As' the dasa is ruled by
Rahu and the strike was to commence on
a Rahu star day, it would end on the day
when Moon transitted in Kethu's star
(Kethu always opposes Rahu) and especi-
ally in the lOth house ruled by Mars.
'* Actually, the strike was withdrawn on
Asvini star day ruled by Ketu in Mar's
sign which commenced on Sathabhisha
star day."
Hence, the Chart furnished in this
magazine is correct. Astrology is a
science which could be made perfect by
conducting research whe^ alone it will be
useful to all.
The late Prime Minister was indeed a
jewej among men. Though'vvc were"sure
of this inevitable event we were greatly
moved to learn of his sudden end. That his
soul may rest in peace is our earnest prayers
to the all-pervading Lord. OM SHANTI.

Opposition: Moon in the 7th house in
the constellation of the lord of 1, 2, 3, 6,
10 and 11 assures success in "the election,
competition, law-suits, litigation, etc. But
Moon in the 7th in the constellation of
the lords of 4, 5, 7, 8, 9 and 12 threatens
loss and failure.
General public: Good aspects to Moon
indicates that he will have good relation-
ship with the public. He will be liked by
all. Evil aspect to Moon warns one to
be careful, whenever he has to undertake
any public activity.
Thief; If Moon in 7 occupies the
constellatitnrof-Lord' of 8 or 12 or;.Mars
and if Moon owns the evil Houses, the
person will lose by theft. The person
will have Moon and the constellation Lord
as his ruling planets. In the conjoined
period of Moon and the Lord of the
constellation, one will lose by theft. Lord
 of 3 forming bad aspect with Moon in 7,
threatens loss by pick-pocketing.
Contracts; Agreements and ^legal
bindings are indicated by Moon in 7. If
Moon is in the constellation of Lord of 3
or Lord of 1 l.or if it receives - favourable
aspect from Lord of 3 or 11 or Jupiter or
Mercury, in the period of Moon and the
aspecUng planet, the agreement will be
signed. There will be legal binding.
/ Influence in foreign lands depends on
the aspect which Moon in 7 receives.
During the conjoined period of Moon and
the planet which throws harmonious
aspect, one will have name, fame, reputa-
tion, grand reception and influence. But
if he remaiiis there during the period of
the planetIhat throws adverse aspect to
the moon, he will lose his influence and be
depressed. Third house indicates/Short
journey ; ninth house shows long journey i
and seventh house denotes that one will
break his long journey on his way. For
example, one proceeding from Madras to
Bombay may be said to be the result of
the planet governing third house. If he
has to go to Ameriea. it is indicated by
T ord of 9 or any planet having connec-
tion wuh the in mil iiousc. Ii' hv
his journey on his way at Paris, it is
indicated by the planet connected with the
seventh house.
Commodities: Moon in 7 in Leo or
Sagittarius shows that one will deal in
bamboo, teak, cane, etc. If Moon in 7
occupies Taurus, Cancer or Libra,.'it
indicates grapes, and v the produce of the
creepers. Moon in 7 inAriesand Scorpio
indicates produce from dry lands. Pisces
indicates .Sugar-cane, Syrup, Sugar, etc.
Moon in 7 in the houses of Mercury shows
produce from the plants without thorns,
pulses and those which contain large
quantity of Vitamin B. It also includes
produce from wet lands." If Moon were
to be in 7 in Capricorn or Aquaries, it
indicatCs.thornyttrees^and their produce.
Moon receiving good aspect'from Jupiter,
shows oils, ghee, etc., containing
Vitamins 1 A ' & ' D
In general, Moon indicates Plantains;
if it receives good aspect from Jupiter, it
U
refers to coconuts; Saturn's aspect shows
palm trees. Moon governs bulbs, melons,
etc. One may deal in oils, liquids, salt,
things found iji the sea, fish, white sesame,
pearls, scents,_ paints, etc., orange,
cucumber, fruits, ghee,curd, milk, cow,
saffron, betel-leaves, maize, nickel, silver,
ever silver, camphor, alum, horses,
aquatic animals, cooked food, coffee,
tea, etc.
Speculation : If Moon is Lord of I, 2,
3, 6, 10, or 11 and if it is in 7, the native
will have the. tendency to speculate and
gain. But if Moon is the Lord of 5, he
will have the desire to speculate, and take
the risk, but unfortunately he will be
losing. Because, 7th house shows the
opponent. 5th house is the house of
profit (11th house) to the opponent. So,
Moon as Lord of 11 in I, indicates easy
gains to the opponent For people bom
in Pisces, having Moon in 7 in Virgo,
chances to stand and contest in election
will come. They will make all efforts.
Yet, they will be defeated, when they run
Moon Bhukti.
For Agriculturists: The Lagna indi-
cates the owner, the 4th house his lands,
thr 7fh house, the cultivation, and the
10th house, the proauce and mc piauti.
Cultivation will be easy and the returns
will be satisfactory if Moon is the lord
of, or in the constellation of the lords of
1, 2,3, 6, 10 or 11. If one lets the land
on lease, Moon in"7 indicates the tenant;
the 10th house shows how he will pay the
rents. The fourth house shows the
termination of the agreement. If Moon
owns evil houses and occupies the 7th
house, the tenant will cause trouble.
For people born in Aries (Mesha):
Moon in the 7th house can be in later
half of Chithrai, Swathi or Visakam star
I, 2 or 3rd pada.
Chithra is ruled/by Mars, lord of 1 and
8. Jupiter ruling Visakam star, owns
Houses 9 and 12. Swathi is governed by
Rahu. .Depending-on.the^ocjjgpaiipn of
Rahu, in one's horoscope, the reading is'
to be given.
If it is in Chithra, it means lord of 4 is
in the constellation of lord of 1 and 8
 and is in 7. So, the person will" have
many obstacles and difficulties to execute
his studies. He is destined to buy a car
. which will always cause trouble and need
repair. The house which he can erect in
a few months, will take long'time. There
may be the difficulty to get men and
material. If one lives iii a rented house,
the owner will be increasing the rent
frequently and yet giving trouble often,
without, attending to the repairs and pro-
viding facilities.
One beneficial aspect of Moon in
Chithra in 7 is that the mother will gain ;
if she is a career woman, sift will have
increase in income and improvement in
status. If she has shares in her name,
not only the price will move up, but she
will also receive larger dividends.
if Moon is in Swathi, according to the
position occupied by Rahu in the horos-
cope, one is to judge, the results; e.g., if
Rahu is in LeoSimha, the-person will
speculate and lose money ; if Rahu is* in
Aquarius, he will be popular and pros-
perous and he will gain in his under-
takings.
If Moon is in Visakam, ruled .by
Jupiter, it means that lord of 4 'is in the
constellation of lord -of 9 and 12 as
Jupiter owns Sagittarius and Pisces
(Dhanus and Meena). Hence, the person
will have higher education, long journey
and life in a foreign place. He will con-
struct houses (4th house owned by Moon)
invest on them (investment12Th house)
in a place far away from his native place
(9th house). He may purchase" a car
from a stranger (9lh house). His mother
will fall ill or she may be a medical
graduate, receiving larger amount during
the joint period of Moon and Jupiter.
Moon in 7 to Aries indicates that the
partner whom the person is to marry or
whom he takes for business is either
related' already, or living in the same
place, where the person resides.
Thus to each sign, the results ore to be
read.
 ARE YOU RUNNING MARS PERIOD?
KNOW WHAT TO DO & WHAT TO AVOID
Mars' Major Period: Mars (Sevvai-Kuja-
Angafaka) runs its period for exactly seven
years'.' All thenjne planets, Mars, Rahu,
Guru (Jupiter), Saturn (Sani), Mercury
(Budha), Kethu, Venus (Sukra), Sun (Ravi)
and Moon (Chandra) have :thejr sub
periods in the order given. Each sub
period has its own duration and the total
period of seven years is not divided
equally among them,; butf they are allotted
in the proportion in which they arevgiven
the inajor period in the Vimshothari, i.e.,
in the total of 120 years. Mars' major
period in the Udu (Nakshathra) Dasa of
120 years is 7 years, so Mars sub period
(bhukti) in Mars major period is 7/120 of
7 years or 4 months and 27 days.
' In Mars* Major period or dasa, Mars'
sub period is the first. Likewise, the
bhukthies of the other planets in Mars Daisa
or major period are worked out. Always
the first sub period is governed by the lord
of the dasa. Then all of" them, one after
another, follow in the same order as men-
tioned above. On the day when Mars Dasa
commences. Mars sub period commences.
The following gives the sub period or
bhukti ruled by each planet in Mars Dasa.
Mars sub period : 0 year, 4 months and
27 days.
Rahu sub period : I year and 18 days.
Guru-Jupiter: 11 months and 6 days.
Saturn-Sani: 1 year, 1 month andf) days.
Budha-Mercury: 11 months 27 days.
Kethu: 0 year 4 months 27 days.
Sukra-Venus: 1 year and 2 months.
Sun-Ravi: 4 months 6 days.
Moon-Chandra ; 7 months. Thus the
seven years of Mars Dasa is distributed.
Quintessence of the Mars Period
. By Nature: Mars symbolises the senses.
It rules over the animal instincts in every-
body. It is considered to be a malefic as.

in the charts of the majority of people,
either.it will occupy evil. houses or it may
receive evil aspects and hence it makes one
rash, a spendthrift and a squanderer of
money, commit anything,on an impulse
and then repent, use sharp instruments
without exercising care and get injured,
talk very bluntly and invite trouble, be
fool-hardy, adamant, aggressive, argu-
mentative, assertive and atrocious. But if
he owns beneficial houses and also occupies
favourable signs and receives harmonious
aspects, it gives one courage, confidence,
boldness and a go-a-head spirit. It offers
strength of mind and also physical
strength. He will be able to do all heroic
deeds. Mars is just opposite to Saturn.
It gives activity. One will not be lazy,
idle and lethargic, like the Saturnian. He
will have force of character and organising
ability. He will be determined and will
have a"great desire to come out successful
in the material field. He 7ill never relish
fro~ Oth^r". H? v.'UJ
according to his own conscience. He will
always try to lead and pioneer while he
hates subordination and to carry on routine
and monotonous work: He will not be
rash. Nor will he be short-tempered. He
will be a self-made person.
Mars should be a- bcnefic especially in
the horoscopes of the ladies. It plays a
very important role in their career. Bodily
they should not suffer from injuries, boils,
hysteria, troubles during monthly periods,
operations (cessarian) etc., during delivery
time, and so on. Mentally they should
not be masculine; otherwise, they will
command the partner, lose temper, and
will not mind quarrellingjmd occasionally
be very violent also. The poor husband
will be a victim to such a militant wife.
To lead a happy and harmonious life, with
the wife, Mars should occupy a good posi-
tion in the horoscopes of both. Then it
will offset sickness and weakness and
instead, offer health and wealth.

during the periods of the planets which

from fever, etc. Westerners are of opinion
that those who have Mars in the fourth
house should leave their home as early as
possible to avoid troubles in their native
place. Mars in the fourth house threatens
vomiting of blood, due to the disease in
the lungs. If it is afflicted by Saturn and
lord of 6, the native is 1 liable to suffer from
chronic T.B. , Such an action brings on inflammatory
Mars in the fifth house gives one the
desire to be an athlete. He will be good
in sports. He will have a muscular body.
He will be an excellent disciplinarian. If
the aspect to Mars is bad, his physical
condition will be dangerous due to over-
indulgence in things of amorous nature. In
the horoscopes of ladies it shows difficulty
in parturition. It also indicates that the
first child will be rash and there is always
the danger to his life. If Mars is afflicted
in tlic fil th hotiiC! one should never t'nmb'c.
He will invariably lose and he may turn
bankrupt during the period of Mars and
the sub period of the planet which afflicts
Mars. One's heart may get weakened and
he may suffer from cardiac thrombosis,etc.
Mars in the fith house receiving good
aspect shows that the native will be a good
servant and that he will enjoy promotion
often and will be given much authority and
. power. This good aspect also shows that
Mars will burn out and thus eliminate .
the poisons from the body and offer him
good health. If afflicted, there will
always be quarrel with the master, the
/ health also will fail and life will be a hell.
Risky jobs, accidents during one's office
hours while on duty, danger of burns, etc.,
.r are . due to Mars, in 6. Ofte may suffer
from duedenal ulcer and colic pains.
Mars in the seventh house gives a good
partner who will work for the welfare of
15
the family. He may have a strong
personality. Good aspect to Mars makes
one to do everything in a gentle way.
If Mars is in the 'seventh house of a
male and is also afflicted, his wife will be
masculine, and will take the reins.of
running the family in her hands. It
threatens sudden demise to the partner due
to any accident only when it is strongly
afflicted by evil planets and it is devoid of
beneficial aspects from Jupiter and Venus.
If Mars were to be in any watery sign and
if it is afflicted, the partner will be addicted
to drinks and he will be quarrelsome and
violent. Better he is removed to a " Dry
arUa". Another risk is also there ; if he
does not drink, he will be a sex addict.
diseases of the genitals. Jupiter afflicting
Mars indicates appendicitis and hernia.
Mars in the eighth house, receiving good
aspect, brings money through partner
either in business or through wife or
through legacy. He will come out victo-
rious in law suits. If Mars is afflicted,
the financial position will be worse after
marriage due to the extravagant expenses
of the partner. The partner in business
may squander. He will incur much loss
wuLU iii.- wiher parlnv- hnvr Irs rhrr*
Now the question will arise. "Will my
wife be extravagant and I may have to lose
money or will my partner in business rob
away ? " The only method to find^it out
is as follows. Note down the ruling
planets of your wife and also the ruling
planets .of the partner in business. If
either of them is ruled by Mars, then the
person to whom Mars is the ruling 'planet
will be responsible for nhe loss to
you.
Suppose one's wife is born in the sign
ruled by Mars (Mesha or Vrischika), or
in the star governed by Mars or on Tuesday-
ruled by Mars, she will incur loss which
will be transferred to your account.
But if your wife is neither born on a
Tuesday, nor if her Lagna is AriesMesha
or ScorpioVrischika and if the Moon
sign at the time of birth was not ruled by
 Mars,.then during Mars Dasa she cannot
be-the cause for the loss.
Look at the chart of the partner. If he
is born on a Tuesday or in the stars
Mrigasirisha, Chilhrai or Dhanishta
governed by Mars or in the sign Aries or
Scorpio as Lagna or as Moon's sign, then
he is the person who will incur much
unnecessary and uncommon expenses and
be ^very extravagant and he will be
responsible for the loss.*
ONE OF THE FINDINGS OF THE
EDITOR is'that during a particular dasa
and bhukli if there is either gain or loss,
new friendship with one or enmity with a
person or the new transactions done with
a person, then the planets which rule the
dasa and bhukti running at that time will
be the ruling planets of the person through
whom you gained or incurred less or with
whom you made friendship or you had
troubles, etc. For' example, during .Mars
Dasa Venus bhukti, suppose you meet a
person and" make frew friendship/ He
or she would have been born on a Friday
ruled by Venus or Tuesday governed by
Mars, in" Bharani Nakshathra ruled by
.Venus in the sign Aries owned.by Mars
or in Mrigasirisha (star governed by
*.L.. ' 1 ' l.*/*' " ' i...
Venus),"or Chithrai Tnd halfia fhula/.
Or she .may have Mars and Venus
conjoined in lagna. Unless she has
Mars and Venus as the ruling planets, you
cannot, make new friendship .-with her
during Mars DasaVenusBhukti. Suppose
one is born on a Wednesday but in
Bharani star, then you may have acquain-
tance during Mercury sub period in Mars
dasa, whereas iniimacy will be from Venus
subj^eriod. Dining Mercury sub period
you may come in contact with one and be
negotiating for a business and during the
following Venus sub period it .will materia-
lise and you may take him as a partner.
This is also included in Krishnamurti
Paddhathi.
Let me give another example. A person
had been asked to submit his explanation,
now and then, by a hard taskmaster who
haled this person. The servant got much
vexed and consulted the astrologer. He
16
was consoled by sayingthat he was running
Saturn sub period in Mars Dasa and. that
the officer'who teased him ought to have
been born in Dhanishta star ruled by Mars
-in Saturn sign or in Anuradba star ruled
by 'Saturn in Mars sign and that the trouble-
will continue throughout his Saturn
sub period. He-added that, when the
person runs Mercury sub period, the officer
will be transferred and another officer
born in Jyeshta star governed by Mercury
in Mars' sign or Mrigasirisham later half
or Chilhrai first half will lake charge.
As Mercury promises peace and prosperity,
the new officer will be gentle and good to
him. Honestly, 'when we tried to find out
the truth for academical interest, the
previous officer who gav^ trouble to him
was bom on a Saturday and in Anuradha
star whereas the successor was born in
the first half of Chilhrai star. The truth
is that a planet indicates good or evil
according to one's horoscope. The planet
will not come down to the earth to do
him harm. But the planet influences the
. person born under its power to act as its
agent and give the results indicated by the
planet.
Mars in the ninth house makes one
libeml.mtndcd nnd hlesser, him with bread
views. The person will be interested in -
the social and spiritual uplifiment" of
mankind. He will be fond of travelling
and gaining more and more practical
knowledge. This person will prove to be
a good missionary iii whatever"line of
propaganda he lakes up. Those who have
Mars in 9 afflicted, should not undertake
long travels. There is always danger
while travelling. If he feels that he is not
liked by his people and if he prefers to go
away and try his fortune outside", he can be
sure that his life at homeis thousand limes
better than what it will be outside. Mars
in tbe 9lh house causes death in a foreign
place or at least accidents. Thigh and
lungs may be affecied.
Mars in the lOth- house, receiving good
aspect,1 indicates thai he will be successful
in life. He'will have an inexhaustible
fund of energy. He will not mind the
obstacles, hindrdhces"andimpediments and
 will wriggle out- of them. He will be
successful and reach the top rung of the
ladder, provided for hitti according to his
horoscope. All cannot become rulers.
Yet he will be the master over many
subordinates. With or without qualifica-
tion, he wilFgain authority and power due
to Mars in 10;
Mars in the 11th house gives youthful
, appearancethroughoutlife. The native will
feelN younger and younger as he grows old.
He will be more and more enthusiastic in
pleasurable-pursuits as age advances. He
\Vill bea leader in the social setup, and will
be able to realised is hopes. Good aspects
to Mars make one popular. He will gain .
in all transactions, as, according to Hindu
system, it aspects the second hquse also
ftom the bouse of profit, the 11th.
' Mars in the 12th house promises that'
one may serve in. prisons, jail department,
isolation hospitals, in far-off places other
than his birth place, charitable institutions,
asylums, etc. Or he may be employed in
detective work. He may invest on waste-
lards and later during the. sub period of
the beneficial planet gain much. If Mars
is afflicted, one will be liable for loss,
aoiic/w, tiuuislw j T.'. p T i j m
"rhent. He will incur the enmity of all,
become unpopular and proceed on leave
qn medical grounds due to the pressure
brought by superiors. If Mars is afflicted
-by Venus and Saturn, his vitality will be
sapped through sex or self-abuse. Mars
-afflicted by Jupiter will make him a social
outcaste during the sub period of Jupiter
in Mars Dasa.
Therefore depending on the house which
Mars rules, occupies etc., one is to expect
the results during its dasa. The sub-period
whe'n one can "enjoy a particular result is
indicated by the sub-lord which decides the
nature of the result according to ,the
aspect which it forms with Mars and the
lord of the constellation in which the sub-
lord was,.
If at the time of birth, Mars was in the
constellation of a planet, say, Jupiter, by
occupying Punarvasu or Visakam or Poor-
.vapatbra pada, theft one can be sure that,
dlrfing Mars Dasa, Jupiter Bhukti,-all the
matters indicated by Mars, will come td
pass.*
If a planet forms good aspect with Mars,-
during its sub period in Mars dasa, you can
be bold and go-a-head with your pro-
gramme; even if you risk, you will have the
providential help to come out successful.
But if a planet forms evil aspect, then what-
ever be the favourable circumstances, you
cannot fylfil your desire. An officer may
be very well inclined towards you. He
can give an outstanding certificate, and a
very good confidential report. He may
strongly recommend, yet success .cannot
be had. Therefore it is necessary to note
the relative position between Mars, the
Dasanath-and also the Bhukti lord.
During Mars Dasa cultivate self-confi-
dence. Be ready to change tactics and
take up any enterprise. Boldly undertake
independent action. You can launch on
any new venture. Do not- over-indulge.
Do not be impatient. Avoid rash actions.
Words may cause _heat. Be constructive-
You will achieve your aim.
Whom to contact for success ? Generally
approach males, as Mars is a masculine
planet or those ladies born with Mars as
tneir ruiingpianet. u you nave yppouuu:*,
competitors, etc, Mars period is the best
to deal with them. Surgeons, mechanics,,
cooks, hardware dealers, engineers and
young people will be helpful to you. If
you desire to have a small job, approach
the officer through hisicook, who will also
be having Mars as his ruling planet.
How to approach? Be ardent and push-
ful. Be assertive. You should have an
energetic and determined attitude. Boldy
state what you want. Emphasise it.
Define it properly. Boldness will pay you.
But do- not be disheartened if, at the first,
instance, you.do not Save proper response.
Always pursue; do not get hot and do not
bother about the delay. You do not want
other's influence. You can yourself
personally undertake,. Never_hesitate to
demand what ~y6u' want."' If you are the
secretary - of any association and if you
have to make a representation to.redress,
the grievance, forget for a moment that
you are placing the facts before the officer;
 consider the officer as your equal. Speak
out clearly. ^You are sure to succeed.
Martians can have springs even in rocks.
It is the determination and inexhaustible
energy which will crown them with success.
What to avoid? Do not be impulsive
and rash. Even when there is a fair cause,
do not take offence. Your passion will
be easily roused now and then; but
control it. You will be able to control
others. You may not know how to
control yourself. Cultivate it. If you do
not agree with"others and if you do not
like, do not take any destructive course.
There is no meaning'in increasing the
number of enemies.. Never be violent.
Do not stir up new opposition. Avoid
dangerous places lest the planet afflicting
Mars in your chart should bring mis-
fortune to you. Be careful when you use
sharp instruments and when you are near
fire. You may have to join the fire
brigade, if Mars governs your profession.
Be cautious. Mars will help you.
Finance and Fortune: If one takes up
profession, he will have competence in
mechanical and civil .engineering (Mars
denotes metals and also land); surgery

joiued with Sun, liJIug uiid trrur.inc

ted by Mars when it receives aspect from
Venus, especially from the 8th house.
One may be employed in cardite factory,
fireworks, match factory, heavy acid

tion, fertilizers, in reclamation of waste
land, in agricultural department, police,

may dp business and be a brick manufac-
turer, be the Director of certain firms,

agriculturist, farm, owner, etc. Or one
may deal in tobacco," coffee, ragi, iron and
steel, all nuts, mustard, ginger, etc. and all
produce in red colour. Rubies, red stones,
red paints etc. are also indicated by Mars.

Sun, forming good aspect with Mars,
shows that one may have the appointrnent
in the Government mostly in the police,
military, factory, etc. In that case, he has
to expect a promotion during the con1
joined period of Mars and Sun.
Moon, forming good aspect with Mars,
indicates that the native may-serve in the
bar, hotel or one who deals in parboiled
rice, cooked food, or in boilers, steam
engine?, etc. He will be_ promoted during
Moon sub period in Mars Dasa, or after
serving in Sun sub period in any other
department, during Moon Bhukti he may
be transferred here, because one can be
transferred to another department only
when he enters or runs the.jperiod and sub
period of the planets which indicate the
new profession. If one was working in
Animal Husbandry from Mars Dasa,
Jupiter Bhukti, Venus Anthra, then he may
be transferred during Mars Dasa, Venus-
Bhukti, Satuf.n Anthra to the slaughter
house. " In both the places he may work as
the Sanitary Inspector. But the combina-
tion of Mars-Jupiter-Venus indicates
Animal Husbandry, whereas Mars, Venus
and Saturn show the end of life of the
animals. Thus one is to analyse and then
judge the results.
Mars receiving' good aspect iruai
Mercury indicates that, during the con-
joined periods-of Mars and Mercury, one
may be appointed in the press or in the
military engineering or mechanical engi-
neering or be-a salesman in any factory,
or a laison officer or a representative or a
contractor supplying goods to the depart-
ments belonging to Mars. The tailor
supplying dress to the police, military,etc.
will have Sun, Mercury, Mars and Venus
as the significator^of his profession. But
one who supplies shoes will have Mars,
Venus and Saturn as the planets who are
concerned with houses 2, 6 and lOand any
of them may rule the 12th house also ;
12th house shows that which is used for
the foot. If those planets have connection
with the third house, he may supply
leather bags, carried by hand or. postal
bags; if they are connected with the
seventh house also, they may supply belts,
which are used around the waist. (7lh
 house shows waist.) Those who supply
caps will have the signihcators including
Mars- Any of them may own the lagna
(the first house) which indicates head.
^ Mars, forming good aspect with Jupiter,
offers during their joint periods the post
like the agent of a bank, or an administra- \ land there was the accident. Till the
tor, principal of a college, officer in the
Religious Endowment Board, finance or
legal departments, etc. Promotion can be
expected during the conjoined periods of
Mars and Jupiter.
Mars, forming good aspect with Venus
or vice versa, shows that, during the dasa
of Mars and the sub period of Venus one
may be employed, promoted or transferred intervenes, there will be either delay,
to agriculture department, in the industry
manufacturing the perfumery powder, etc.,
to ladies, automobile department, trans-
port, jailway, airways depending on"the
sign which Venus occupies. Leather
factory, breeding of animals, forest depart-
ments are also indicated by 'Mars and
Venus.
Mars, receiving aspect from Saturn, indi-
cates that one may be employed in the
mines and fuels. Another planet aspec-
ting these two indicates the produce of the
mine whether it is coal, or copper, or
iiicgU&dilv; oi" gvlu vlw. VvlCr> StgH iuvii'
cates kerosene and oils. Moon forming
aspect with them indicates the same. Sun
forming aspect with them indicates copper
or gold. Jupiter indicates gold. ,Venus
indicates chemicals.
Those who have adverse aspects will
have difficulties while working in the
departments meptioned above.
Journeys.; If the planet that forms
good aspect with Mars owns either the 3rd
or the 9lh or the 12th house or throws
aspectfrom those houses, it is advantageous
to proceed on a journey. Please note
whether there is any evil aspect from any
planet to Mars at the time of,birth. If
there were to be any, avoid the sub period
of the planet from any planet forming bad
aspect to Mars in the natal chart. Just ,
as the nine planets have their'sub periods
during each dasa, so also all the nine
planets have their sub periods in the
Bhukti of every planet. Hence when you
20
go on a journey, it will be pleasant and
successTuI as long as the sub-sub-period of
the evil planet does not operate. But
during that period it will bring some danger.
Have we not heard that one had covered all
the distances and only when he is about to
moment of the accident the good aspect of
the beneficial planet operated. The acci-
dent took place only when the evil planet
started to function. If the journey is
commenced and finished during the sub-
period of the planet promising beneficial
results, one will have favourable results,
the reception will be good, and he could
fulfil his desire. But if the evil planet
suspense or difficulty. During journey
never take a risk. Avoid rash driving.
Exercise extra care. Success is yours.
Who will be your real friend ? If
according to your horoscope Mars is a
benefic and it promises pleasure, profit and
" prosperity, then your good friends would
have been born on either Tuesdays or in
Mrigasirisha or Chithrai or Dhanishta
stars or in the signs Mesha or Vrischika.
But if Mars is evil to you, those who are
bcrn in these stars will cause you trouble.
For everybody the lord of the llth
house and the people born with the ruling
planets which occupy the llth house or
the Nakshathra of planets occupying or
owning the eleventh house, will be the
benefactors.
During Mars period, do not yield.to
outbursts of temper. Do not dictate to
others. Put everything boldly but gently.
There will be occasions to gel irritated.
You may be frank and this may not be
relished by others. So do npt allow any
one to pick up quarrel, even thpugh you
are sure of success. It is because of
Martians alone there is the proverb in
Tamil, u Outyifl ^sfrajmr. "
You, are capable of handling everything
well ; yet patience is necessary. For you
everything must be done as soon as you
desire to have it. Yours is action first,
speech next, and thought last. Though on
some occasions it is advantageous, yet if
you work with a little care and cautionj
you will become the leader,.
Partners in business also will be helpful
to you if they are ruled by Mars and if
Mars is a benefi cial planet to you. House -
7 indicates partner in business. Planets
occupying the sign, planets owning the 7th
house and the planets in the constellation
of the occupant and the owner indicate
the birth of the partner and also his
characteristics, etc. If Mars is in any
manner connected with the 7th house and
he is the significator of partner in the
business, if it occupies a beneficial sign,
you will gain through him. The beneficial
houses to bring profit and success are 1, 2,
3,6, 10 and 11. If Mars*occupies 4, 5,
7, j8, 9 or 12th house counted from
your lagna, your partner will gain much
oy your efforts. Generally younger people
will join you. They may own lands,-
buildings or factories. Or. they may serve
in any of the departments governed by
Mars. It is also likely that according to
the sub period, the partner may change.
A friend started a business during Mars
Dasa, Jupiter Bhukti (sub period). He was
assisted by a banker and the banker was
his financial partner. His star was Visakam
fourth pada. i.e., Jupiter's star in Mars'
sign Scorpio. When Saturn subpenod in
Mars Dasa was ruiming, this partner began
to give trouble and he got out of it. Later,
during Mercury-Budha sub period, another
gentleman came for rescue and financed"
him. This person owns a press.- His lagna
was Kanni and Mars in his chart was in
the 10th house. So Mars aspects the lagna
which was in Chithrai star governed by
Mars in Mercury's sign. Thus it can be
seen that the partner joining a person will
1 be having the ruling planets which rule the
period of the person then.
Marriage and Married Life: Mars is
an extremist. Either the couple will have
inseparable temperament and they live
very happily or Mars causes violence and
both get separated. How the life would
be, depends on the lord of the constellafion
in which Mars was at the time "of birth. '
Mars may occupy any house. But it is the
lord of the constellation which clearly and
21
correctly indicates happy and harmonious
wedded life or such a friendly life like cat
and rat. That is why the South Indians
are giving much importance to Mars and
its evil results. But after doing much
research, it was found that divorce"cases
have come to the court and people had
divorce even though there is no .Mars
dhosha in their charts. Nor did one divorce
the other during Mars Dasa. The finding
was that the planet which occupies the
constellation of lords of 6, 8 or 12, con-
nected with the 7th house and afflicted by
evil planets, Saturn, Mars, etc., causes
disharmony and leads to divorce. This
will be dealt with separately with plenty of
illustrations.
If one is to run Mars dasa, he can note
the following truths:
If marriage comes up during Mars Dasa
or Mars Bhukti, thepartner would have been
born (a) either on a Tuesday, or (b) in Mars
star, Mrigasirisham, Chithrai or Dhanishta,
or (c) in the signs governed by Mars, i.e.,
Mesha or Vrishchika. If Mars Dasa Rahu
Bhukti operates at the time of marriage,
then the partner will be ruled by Mars and
Rahu may be conjoined with Moon Or it
may occupy the Ascendant. Mars Dasa,
Tunitcr sub period indict ter. that the rarther
may be born in Visakam 4th pada or he or
she may have Mars and Jupiter as ruling
planets. Mars Dasa, Sani Bhukti indicates
that the birth may be in Anuradha or
Dhanishta star having Mars and Saturn as
the ruling planets. Mars Dasa, Mercury
Bhukti indicates that thepartner is born in
Jyeshta or the latter half of Mrigasirisham
or the first half of Chithrai. Mars Dasa,
Kethu Bhukti shows that the partner may
be born in Aswini star ruled by Kethu in
Mesha ruled by Mars. Qr Mars and Kethu
may be in the Ascendant or conjoined with
Moon. Anyhow, both should be the ruling
planets of the partner.
Mars Dasa, Venus Bhukti indicates that
the partner may be born in Bharani or
Mrigasirisha first half or Chithrai second
half. Mars Dasa, Sun Bhukti shows the
birth of the partner inKarthigai nakshathra
first quarter in Mesha Rasi.
 Mars Dasa, Moon Bhukti indicates that
the native ma^ be born with'Moon and .-with the fifth house, one can pray to Lord
Mars-as the ruling planets.

Mars, Saturn, Moon and Venus indi-
cate Lord Krishna.
Mars and Rahu denote Ayyappan,
Nagalingam, Puja to Cobra,
Mars, Saturn and Rahu denote Dharma
astha.
Mars and Kethu denote Lord Ganesh.
Mars, Venus, Saturn and Kethu indicate
Uchista Maha^Ganapathi.
Mars and Sun indicate only Suryanara-
yana, Vishnu. Thus, according to one's
horoscope, one is to find out which prayer
will bring him fortune. He has to approach
a Guru, be initiated and pray. Homa
done to them "Will be more fruitful. During
Moon Dasa; Tharpana is good. During
Mercury, Gyana Yoga, repetition of Man-
thra and prayers will be propitious. Durng
Jupiter one may read Ramayana and
such holy Puranas or hear them "from the
learned scholarsT Thus one is to decide
which will do good to him and act.
Then you are sure to enjoy your life
satisfactorily.

a dualistic planet. Being the winged
messenger of God, it cannot, generally,
act independently. Being an intelligent
planet,- the person will be supremely intel-
ligent, if Mercury was in direct motion, or
perverted if it was retrograde in the

Second house, shows- that he may not .be
friendly with such relatives who are born
either on a Wednesday or in Gemini or
Virgo as Ascendant (Lagna) or Rasi or in
the stars (Nakshathras), Ashlesha, Jyeshta
or Revathi. Mercury as lord of 8 in 2
indicates that he will ever have family
troubles. If it is also adversely aspected
by Saturn, he will find that bis home-front
is horrible J if at all, he fixes a day to
celebrate any function, death of a person,
just prior to -that day will cause lot of
trouble; nothing can be done according to

tion Will deteriorate. He may run into-
debts. Mercury as the Lord of 1 in 2
shows that he will have a large family. As
lord of 3 -in 2'it indicates partition' among
brothers or gain of money through youn-
ger brother.
Vision: Mercury connected with lord of
6 indicates eye-sore. If Sun or Venus owns
evil Houses 6 or 8 or 12 and is conjoined
with Mercury, one may lose vision and
will need^he use of spectacles. If lord
of 12 is Mars and Mercury in 2 is connec-
ted with ii, injury to the eye or loss of
vision due to cataract is. threatened. Occa-
sionally, a few may complain that, if the
Teacher writes I. (one) on the Board, it
appears as 11 (Eleven), one Zero will *
appear as two and so on. Even the
Teacher may appear to be two (Budha
means double, as it rules dual sign
Gemini). Good aspect to Mercury pro-
mises proper sight.
Speech : Mercury is a talkative, sharp
and witty planet. It produces humorous
people. Bhagavathars hdving Mercury in
2 will be able to remember and reproduce
innumerable quotations from various
authors. They will describe in meticulous
aciaii- i hey will.speak uvcoruing i,oviiwu.i-
stances. They are capable of speaking with
double meaning. Very clever messengers
will have Mercury in 2. They can adapt
themselves; find out the auspicious time,
when they can represent their Mission
and come out successful. Mercury in airy
signs makes one a great conversationalist.
They cannot keep quiet.. They are best
suited to entertain others, being versatile
with a fund of knowledge and humour.
Moon forming good aspect with Mercury
gives fertile imagination and while conver-
sing, they will use examples, quote short
stories, etc. We are sure that the oldest
Statesman, now alive, has Mercury, Moon
and the second house favourably connec-
ted.
Business; Good aspect" to Mercury
shows larger profit dii^ to'kpdedy (urnover.
It gives correct intuition and prompt
action. Bad aspect tO-Mercury threatens
fraud, litigation, loss and difficulty.^ False
 reports and thereby worry ., thrpugh those
who inspect the accounts. (Sales tax,
Income tax, Licence issuing officers) are
also indicated.
Money: If, Mercury inis. in the
constellation^ of lord of 2 or 6 or in any
manner .connected with lord of 2 or 6,
one will borrow money. If Mercury in 2
is in the constellation of lord of 8 or 12,
or in any manner connected with the
planets occupying 8 or 12 or owning 8 or
12, repayment of loan or lending loan to"
another is shown.
Physical: If Mercury is conjoined with
a malefic, there may be moles in the cheek
or chin, or near the eye or on the lips.
MaleScs and lord of 6 conjoined with
Mercury indicates that the Retina cannot
accommodate quickly. It leads to the
nped of spectacles. Mercury afflicted by
Saturn 'and Mocn causes mottled enamel
due to fluorosis intoxication. Saturn
forming good aspect with Mercury and
evil with Venus indicates profuse hair
growth in the face and the person will
look ugly and awful. Mars afflicting
Mercury causes injury and produces sear
in the face. Strong Mars gives disorderly
teeth .and a few will project outside.
Venus formingr good aspect with or con-
70i"ed with M'* r",,rv onlv beantv
but also offers impressive eyes with pleasant
smile and attractive nose,
Specolation; Mercury conjoined with
lords ef 1, 2,3, 6, 10, 11 Houses or in
the constellation of the occupants of these
Houses or in the constellation of the lords
of these Houses, show substantial gains in
speculation. If it is connected with the
lords of other houses, loss is threatened.
Litigation: Generally, minors who
lose their elders or who are selected as the
Peetadhipathi for Mutts, etc., have a
Guardian, or the property is under the
Government receiver- or a Trustee. If
Rahu or Kethu were to be in the Second
House at the time of birth, in the sign
owned by Mercury* either Gemini or Virgo,
one will have the same results, as the
nodes offer the results of the Lord of the
House.' ' The person v rffay be running
Mercury Dasa aud in the latter part of it,
he may lose the father or the elder or the
26
senior. Before he attains majority, Kethu ;
Dasa will be running ; as Kethu is in 2, in
Mercury's sign, the inherited property will
be under the supervision of a Guardian.
Mercury indicates the same results.
Marriage: Second House, indicating
family, includes wife. If Mercury is lord
of 6 and is in the second house, the
partner will have loss and difficulty. In a
lew cases, the native will lose the life, so
that the partner becomes a widow or a
widower. If. Mercury is lord of 7 and is
in 2, it indicates loss of money to the
partner and after having lived his time it
threatens end of life to the partner. Sages
have declared that lord of 7 in 2 gives
money through partner. If partner gives
money, does it not mean loss to her. In
business, th6 partner will give away the
share of profits to the native. If Mercury
is lord of 11 and is in 2, one will come
in contact with a boy or a girl, develop
friendship by writing letters, phone, etc.,
also by making short journeys or travelling
together in two-wheeled vehicles (like
scooter) and finally marry her when their
friendship has become intimate. A few
may marry friend's daughter and both
will have good understanding and insepa-
rable temperament.
Notes to Students: To each Lagna
(Ascendant) find out of which house
Mercury is the Lord. (Mercury owns two
Houses, Gemini and Virgo). Also note ih
which Star, in the second house Mercury
was, at the time of birth. Then the results
are to be read as lord of the houses A
& B in the constellation of" the Planet
owning the houses C & D, i.e.,
(a) Lord of the House A, in the cons-
tellation of the Lord of the House C.
(b) Lord of the House A, in the. cons-
tellation of the Lord of the House D.
(c) Lord of the House B,.in the,constel-
lation of the Lord of the House C.

If Jupiter owns the houses 4 and 7, it is
considered to be a Kendhralhipathi. It is
considered to be evil. A' few are under

They will have Jupiter Dasa in their
youth. Unless the planets show that he
is short-livgd, one need not entertain any
fear during Jupiter Dasa.
On the other band, one will acquire

possess lands and also a healthy and

Therefore, bankers, before lending
money should see whether the borrower is

Jupiter, as .lord of 6 and 9 in the

 They will accommodate to a great extent.

also facilities to continue his studies and

Jupiter as lord of 6 and 9. Jupiter is
exalted hereYet for dancer-borns
Karkata Lagna people, in the ascendant,
the stars are Punarvasu, Pushyam and
Ashlesha. Punarvasu is ruled by Jupiter
who ' owns the 6lh house ; Pushyam ^is
governed by Saturn who is the lord of 8th
house; Ashlesha is ruled by Mercury
who governs the 12th house. Thus the
three lords are lords of 6, 8 and 12.
Therefore' for KarkataCancer-borns,
planets in the ascendants have to offer
either mixed results or adverse ones.
Jupiter, as Ibrd of 7 and 10, will offer
most brilliant results, provided it is in its
own constellation. Otherwise, it will cause
mixed results.
Jupiter, as lord of 8 and 11, will throw
many obstacles. After facing lot of
difficulties, one can come out successful.
People born in Taurus will have people
born in Dhanus or Meena-^Sagittarius or
Pisces as partners. Tor example, people
bora in Rohini will have Poorvashada-
born natives either as wife or husband or
as partner in business.
Thus, whenever the result of Jupiter in
the ascendant is to be judged, take into
consideration:
(1) the nature of Jupiter,
(2) to ^vhich houses Jupiter is the
lord',
(3) the lord of the constellation
(Star'orNakshathra)in which it was at the-
time of birlh and the house or houses,
which the lord of constellation rules,
/ (4) what that lord indicates.
(5) the aspect received by Jupiter, and
(6) planes conjoined with it.

AND ITS RESULTS'
to. make a journey, to come in contact
with strangers and also to have sudden
gains through them. New friendship
could have been formed. Partner's health
might have been affected.
Between 11-2-64 and1 18-2-6^, Saturn
was in the sub of Kelhu. So one might
have visited holy places, had initia-
tion of mantra by meeting sages. One
would have booked larger profits if Kethu
at birth occupied favourable houses. But,
if it was in an evil house, loss, worry,
confusion; dispute, separation, irritation
and relapse of chronic ailment are
threatened.
Saturn was in the sub of Venus between
1 8-2-64 and 7-3-64. It is a lucky lime to
have satisfactory success in enterprises.
Celebration of marriage or appointment
to children will be offered by Venus, lord
of 5 and 10 in the constellation lord
owning 1 )th house. Always pleasant func-
tions or marriage to children will take
place whenever the conjoined period.of
.lord of 5 and 11, or 6 and 11 operate.
Reunion with family is also shown.
Between 7-3-64 and 13-3-64, the sub
transited by aaLUiii .ulcf by ? -
shows purchases to partner, opening fixed
deposit account in a bank (lord of 2 in the
sub of lord of 8), to have advantages
through Government officials. A few may
get into service in Insurance Corporation,
Land Mortgage Bank, Housing, Planning
or in any Surgical or Military Department.
Saturn is under the sub of moon between
13-3-64 and 23-3-64. A period of ailment
to wife or husband. The person may go
on a journey, break it on the way and
make substantial gains. A few Capri-
corn-borns may have their marriage fixed
up. Litigation will end favourably, A
new partner may be taken in to improve
the business. Overdraft facilities may be
arranged.
Now Saturn enters into SathabisSa and it
is Rahu's sub between 23-3-64 and 12-4-64.
Note in the birth chart of the person where
 Rahu was. If it is occupying beneficial
sign, it will offer good results. If it were
to be in evil sign, loss of an elder member
or dangerous ailment, loss of money, ill-
repute and scandal are threatened. But if
it were in the beneficial house, one can
expect such favourable results as Rahu
indicates. If Rahu is in the 5th or 11th
house, one will purchase property, gain by
speculation and lottery, make new friends
and become more and more popular.
Rahu in 10 indicates promotion and
prosperity. Rahu in 9 or 12 will give long
' journey, contact with foreigners and life in
foreign land. It-may allow one to have
higher studies.
From 12-4-64 to 5-5-64, -Saturn will be
in the sub of Jupiter. It indicates journey,
expenses, -investment on publications,
avail^bilily of phone, repayment of loan,
increase in one's popularity, assistance
from elders and frequent visit to hospital
to see friends, etc.
From 5-5-64 to 15-6-64, Saturn will be in
the sub of Saturn. Health will be normal.
Bank position will improve. Business will
expand. Those who suffer from cataract,
may have it operated. Those who suffer
from tooth-ache will have it removed and
have relief. Those members who had
been away will return and lead a pleasant
ilic. riiysicians wiii nave good opportu-
nity to establish a good name. Engineering
contractors will have a large number of
big contracts. The predictions of astro-
logers (lord of 2, Sani, in the second house)
will come ^true, especially when they
predict the longevity of a person.
From-15-6-64 to 27-7-64, Saturn" will
be retrograde in the same position and
similar results will be repeated. One will
have enough of comforts and convenience
unavoidable and necessary. Expenses will
be uncontrollable. A few may have a
change in their avocation. Musicians can
have larger income and unexpected
investment on property on an impulse.
There can be no labour trouble. Materials
for construction will be had, whenever
needed. There will be no loss,:v nor ; transit
deception. -
" "''- '
Between 27.-7-64 and 21-8-64, the results
will be similar to what one had between
32
12-4-64 and 5-5*64- Long journey, higher
education, repayment of loan, respect
from elders, greater popularity and lack of
understanding with brother are indicated.
Brother may shift his place of residence.
He will have peace and prosperity which-
would have been denied till July.
From 21-8-64 to 18-9-64, the results will
be similar to what one had between 23-3-64
and 12-4-64. Those who had Saturn
retrograde at the time of birth and Rahu
in a favourable sign will come by fortunate
results. Providential help is promised.
Visit to holy places and enjoyment of
peace of mind are indicated.
The period between 18-9-64 and 9-10-64 -
is similar to the one between 13-3-64 and
23-3-64. Long journey, separation from
kith and kin, popularity and prosperity
in the places of visit and substantial gains
are shown.
From 9-10-64 to 25-11-64. The results
will be similar to' what one would have en-
joyed between 8-3-64 and 13-3-64. The sub
is ruled by Sun. Raising loan to meet un-
avoidable expenses, delay in realising the
locked-up money, and labour trouble are
indicated. Extravagant expenses by part-
ner, promotion and birth of children are
also indicated.
25-11-64 to 15-12-64. The results are
similar to those enjoyed between ' 13-3-64 -
and 23-3-64 and again between 18-9-64 and
9-10-64: Ailment to partners, hospitali-
sation and medical expenses will be un-
usually great. Waste o money is also
threatened.
After 15-12-64, the end of the year will
be pleasant and smooth.
For people born in Capricorn, the so-
called, Sade Sathi, 7^ years'Saturn is in
the third and.the last phase. Fortunately, -
the lords of the constellation in Aquarius
are Mars, Rahu and Jupiter. To whom-
soever these 3 planets occupied favourable
position at birth, they will surely enjoy
beneficial results. If they occupied such
houses which are disadvantageous, this
portends evil. AIL results .depend v
On the position of these three lords ruling
the Nakshathras Dhanishta, Sa'thabhisha
and Poorvapathrapada.
Aquarius (Kumbha)
This refers to people born in the 11th
sign of the Zodiac, Aquarius as Ascend-
antLagna, and also those who had Moon
in their chart at the time of birth in
Aquarius when Moon would have been
passing in Dhanishta 3rd and 4th padas,
Sathabhisha or Poorvabathrapada 1, 2
or 3rd pada.
Those whose birth had been between
14th February and 13th March any year,
will have their Sun in this sign and they
have to refer here, if they do not know
either the Lagna or Moon sign.
Saturn entered this sign on 26-1-64. It
has to transit in Aquarius, the three stars
Dhanishta, Sathabhisha and Poorvabathra-
pada. In 1964, Saturn does not reach
Poorvabathrapada. It passes through
Dhanishta and transits in Sathabhisha
about 5, retrogrades and again enters
Sathabhisha on 15-12-64.
Between 26-1-64 and 11-2-64, Saturn was
in the constellation of Mars, lord of 3
and 10 and in the sub of lord of 5 and 8.
Hence the native will have a transfer. He
may be posted as a touring officer. Those
in the film line will have larger income
from the distributors. Both will gain.
Musicians can have good fortune and
popularity. Those aeanug la
and publication will have the chance to
take a partner or to have- satisfactory
financial assistance.
Between 11-2-64 and 18-2-64, the sub is
ruled by Kethu. Industrialists may face
the non-co-operation of the subordinates.
They may cause trouble and create confu-
sion. Enmity with brothers, cousins arid .
neighbours, loss of money by pickpocket-
ing, anonymous petition against the native
and thereby both fear and irritation are
threatened.
Venus sub is transi ted by Saturn between
18^2-64 and 7-3-64. Though the period is
short, one v^ll"have grand success. This
compensates for the previous undesirable
experiences. A few may invest on lands.'
Some may be p/ovided with car in their
office. Some may get married as Venus is
the chief governor for marriage and Mars
is to fix up urgently, and celebrate. Some
33
may go overseas for higher studies or ^for
foreign collaboration. Separation from
kith and kin is also shown. From 7-3-64
to 13-3-64, Saturn was in the sub of Sun.
It shows short journey; pleasant life:
purchases for partner: minor ailments to
husband or wife, settlement of accounts
and favour from Government. Contractors
can have new tenders accepted. Agency
.of foreign concerns may be taken up,
especially drugs, chemicals, etc.
13-3-64 to 23-3-64: Extravagant expen-
ses; Separation among partners under
pleasant circumstances, ill-health to the
native, have medical expenses, etc., are
indicated. The children of a few Aquarius-
borns will gain money or come out
successful in any competition. They
will come out victorious in litiga-
tion. Thus Saturn passes the end
of Dhanishta star. From 23-3-64 to
12-4-64, Saturn transits in Sathabhisha.
The first sub of Rahu will be transited in
this period. Depending on the position of
Rahu, one will experience the results. If
Rahu were to be in the beneficial signs, one
can expect good liick. If Rahu is ill-placed,
loss, difficulty, secret inimical activity '
and worry will be the result. If Rahu
would have been in Venus, Mars or
Jupiter's sign, the person will enjoy-his
if-3, rv.-r fficuch the astrologers may say

so on. Actually people can verify and
satisfy themselves how the Gochara-palan
given by Hindu sages does not agree with
the practical experience of these people.
But, if you adopt KR1SHNAMURTHI
PADDHATHI, i.e., to divide a star and
to read the result modified by the lord of
the sub of the star the results expected
alone, will actually come to pass. ,
Between 12-4-64 and 5-5-6.4, the native
may take a new post. A new cycle of life
will start He can have larger income. A
few may have the birth of a child. Both
the financial position and the family
circumstances will be satisfactory, offering
peace of mind. New friendships will be
formed. Partner also may get into service.
A few may start a new business. Overdraft
facilities will be had easily.' Popularity"-
incrfases.
 From 5-5-64 to 15-6-64, Saturn is in
direct motion and then up to 27-7-64 it
is in retrograde in the same area. This
indicates.that the person may invest more
money on business, or change the residence
or make purchases more for comfort and
convenience. If Rahu would have occupied
an evil sign, ill-health, enmity, separation,
agony, loss of friends and also money are
threatened. The servants will non-co-ope-
rate. _ Rheumatic pains may cause worry.
Heart"patients have to be careful. They
should mot neglect even when" the trouble
appears to be bearable.
From 27-7-64 to 21-8-64, again Saturn
is in Jupiter's sub.
These persons can go a-head with any
programme. Providential help is pro-
mised. Rahu in the 11 th house promises
sudden unexpected gains. Children come
by fortune. Even if a child could
not have had admission in the college at
the first selection, in this period he is sure
to get. Those who would have been
interviewed for appointment in between
May and July will receive appointment
order. Licences from the Government can
be had. Permit and pass will be received.
A successful period, indeed 1
21-8-64 to 18-9-64. One may go on long
_journey or change residence: One may
spend money on land, building, convey-
ance, furniture, etc. Change of car is also
indicated. Pleasant functions at home,
speedy turn-over in business, larger returns
from investments and satisfactory yield
from lands are also indicated. The
results between 18-9-64 and 9-10-64 will be
similar to those which would have been
enjoyed^when Saturn was transiting in the
same sub of Moon in between 13-3-64 and
23-3-64.
Similarly results .between 9-10-64 and
25-11-64 will be more or less the same
enjoyed between 8-3-64 and 13-3-64. The
results given in the periods 13t3-64 to
23-3-64 and ,18-9-64 to 9-10-64 repeat
, between, 25:11-64. and, 15-12-64. After
15-12-64i"Saturnk enters into 'the sub of
Rahu. Depending on the position of
Rahu, one can expect either favourable or
unfavourable results.

Notes to Students: Suppose two people
were born on the New Moon day in the
later half of February and the first half of
March, at the time of sunrise', and the
yearof birth wasdifferent. So that they may
have their ascendant-w Aquarius, Sun in
Aquarius and Moon in Aquarius. But,
the position of Rahu and Sani at the time
ef their birth were different.
Suppose to one, Rahu was in Sagit-
tarius in Poorvashada star. And to the
other, Rahu was in Virgo in Hastham star.
To the former, Rahu at first promises
peace, pleasure, permanent tie of friend-
ship, prosperity, etc. To the latter, Rahu
threatens ill-health, accident, danger,
pressure for money, trouble through
creditors, payment of taxes (most in
advance), etc. ; Therefore when Saturn
transits in SathabhishaRaghu's starto
the former it brings fortune and to the
latter misfortune. If both play cards, the
former wins invariably, the latter loses. If
both stand for election, the latter faces
miserable defeat.
Similarly, suppose one had Saturn in
Taurus in Rohini star and the other had
Saturn in Libra in Chithrai Star. When
Saturn transits in Aquarius, it will square
ili original position ?.\ th* tsm? r.f hirth
for the former, whereas it forms the
favourable trine aspect with the Saturn in
Libra. As Saturn rules the Ascendant,
the former will fall ill.. Hospitalisation is
portended. He may worry himself much,
as there are none to carry out his work.
So he may incur loss. For the latter,
health will be excellent and he will have
grand success in all his enterprises and
will gain much.
Thus, it will be seen that the results
enjoyed by people born in the same sign
Aquarius differ widely and they are
diametrically opposite. Therefore the
general predictions offered are only the
trends indicated by them according to
their nature, without taking into consi-
deration the strength and occupation of
the planets in the. horoscopes of thejndi-
viduals.' That is why, a few experience
such results as are indicated by the transi-
ting planets and a few just opposite ones.
 MOLE : WHAT DO THEY MEAN ?
ASTHOtOGICALLY EXPLAINED
Vaidyanatha Dikshita in Jataka Parijata,
says : " An ulcer, or wound will leave a
scar in the part of the body indicated by
drekkana occupied by the malefic- planets
in one's horoscope.
If a benefic planet is conjoined with the
malefic, it prevents the ulcer, but produces
a mole in that spot.
If the planet is either conjoined with
Saturn or if it were to be in his own sign
(Swakshethra), the mole will -be found
from the time of birth itself.
If there is no connection with a benefic,
the-malefic planet at the time it runs its
period (according to Vimshothari System)
produces the ulcer and leaves a scar.
If the period is ruled by Saturn, the...
scar will be formed due. to the wound
caused by a fall(either the person falling
down, or some material falling on him).
' "If the period is governed by Mars, it
will inflict an iniurv: it may be due to fire
accident or through any instrument. Or
one may suffer from small-pox or undergo
any operation. Thus, a permanent scar
will be formed.
Mercury indicates the scar due to a fall,
just like Saturn. (But here, the scar will be
more than one, as Mercury is a planet for
plurality.) ^
Sun causes it due to the injury caused
by animals. (Those who ride horses, mules,
or donkeys, will fall down, and receive
. injury, if Mercury or Saturn is conjoined
with Sun.)
Moon indicates that the scar comes up
due to the hurt caused by horned animals
or acids. (Buffaloes, deer, bulls, etc.)
There cannot be a mole or any scar-in
the part of the body indicated-by the
Drekkana occupied by the benefics. Bene-
fics are Jupiter, Venus, waxing Moon and
unafflicted Mercury, which are not afflic-
ted in any manner.
36
-But if the benefics happen to own the
evil houses 6, 8 or 12, and if they are
in any manner connected with malefics,
they cause the mark in their periods in the
portion indicated by the Drekkana occu-
pied by the benefic.
If the benefics own evil houses, and
occupy their exalted sign or their own
houses, or if they are Vargothama and
strong, the moles will be round.
Prithuyasas says in Horasara, The
signs of the Zodiac represent the various
limbs of Kalapurushawhich is to be
applied to one's bodyNote which signs
are occupied by benefics ; except in those
limbs, some moles are caused by these
planets Benefics cause moles, marks,
scars, and ulcers.
Also Prithuyasas adds that people born
in Rohini will have marks or moles on the
face, back and sides. (Rohini constellation
is in Nirayana Taurus.)
Mantreswara in Phaladeepika, agrees
with this statement. He mentions "If
Taurus be rising at birth, the person will
have moles on the back, face and sides'*.
Mantreswara in Phaladeepika > in
Adhyaya II, sloka 32,adds "Sun, Mars,
Mercury, and Jupiter cause marks or moles
on the right side of the body. The other
planets give moles on the left side.
Sun has .marks on the hips : Moon on
the head Mars on the back, Mercury on the
arm-pit. Jupiter on the shoulder, Venus on
the face and Saturn on the leg
1
Ramadayalu in Sanketanidhi declares,
"The human body is represented by the
Zodiac divided into 36 equal parts, called
Decanates. If a beneficial planet occupied
a particular Decanate, a mole of the sizev :
of a sesamum will be found in the limb
corresponding to the Decanate.
If an evil planet occupied a Decanate,
accordingly in that part of the body indi-
cated by the malefic, an ulcer will crop up his wife will have moles and scars in her
and leave behind a scar. buttocks,

Those people who have the Rajayoga
in their horoscopes, pure and simple,
will have a royal mark or mole on the

Varahamihira in Brihat Samhita says
that the existence of a mole in the face of
a lady is an indication of one in her
private parts.
Thus the Hindus have discussed the
existence of moles in one's body.
Westerners are of opinion that the sign
in which the AscendantLagna,. falls, . .
shows a mole on the part ruled by that
sign.
The sign in which the lord of lagna
was at the time of birth, signifies-the part
of the body where another mole will be.
The sign in which the VI Cusp falls
will give one more mole J so also the sign
occupied by lord ofj?, will offer one more
mark.
The sign occupied by Moon denotes
another. Uranus, Saturn, and Mars, if
afflicted, give marks in those "parts of the
body mdicated by the^sign where they
were.
The Atnerican Astrologers are of opinion
that the signs alone cannot influence and
correctly indicate position.
If the sign and the planet be masculine,
moles will be found on the right side of
the person. But if they happen to be
feminine, then the person will have the
mole on the left side.
In our experience, if moles are found in
the right side of a male due to be mascu-
line sign and masculine planet, under the
same conditions,in females they are found
on the left side. If the male is asked to
stand before a mirror how it will appear,
so also it will be found.
In twin births where one happened to
be a boy and the other a girl, the above
statements were verified and after complete
satisfaction, our experience is "published
in the above paragraph. Only such
experiments can give correct ideas as the
Ascendant happens to be the same to both
the twins and the position of the planets
remain the same.
The planets in the houses which arc

9, 8 and 7, the moles will 6e on the front
of the body. Probably, planets in these
houses are visible. Houses 1 to 6 are below
the horizon and planets therein cannot be
seen. So also, planets in the houses 1 to
6 indicate moles on the back side, which
the person cannot see directly.

Now I tried to find out his profession
usingKrishnamurti Paddhathi, considering
the TENTH cusp or meridian at the time of
query. It was exactly 22 degrees in Meena
or Pisces. According to his Paddhathi, it
falls in Jupiter's sign, Meena, in Mercury's
star, Revathi and the Sun's sub which
covers 21 degrees 33 minutes in Pisces to
22 degrees 33 minutes. As Meena is the
sign in which it has fallen, the department
will be one of asylum, hospital, jail, etc.
But the sub is ruled by Sun which decides
profession. So he must be a doctor or a
government servant. Mercury again indi-
cates accounts, engineering, or one who
treats neurasthenic patients or the, patients
who complain of nervous breakdown.
As regards his transfer, one is to find
out where the cusp has fallen. It is in an
Ubhaya or common sign. It indicates
that he will have a transfer. If the cusp
would have fallen in a fixed sign, he will
stick on to the same place where he works.
But if the meridian at the time of query
would have fallen in a movable sign, he
will, once for all, leave the place and also
the institution. Common sign is just like
a pendulum, whereas movable sign is like
Newton's first law; it will be similar to
the rain water flowing from the cliff of a
hill to the plains which can never retrace

The date of transfer will be at the time *
when the strongest of the significators
passes the twelfth cusp, indicating life 'in
a foreign place. This will happen when
the exalted Sun, the chief signiocator of
the medical department, comes to 2 degrees

 RECTIFICATION OF BIRTH TIME
By
Shri D. V. Subba Rao
Astrology is an ancient science, the sec-
rets of which have been explained by great
sages like SATYACHARYA, BHKTGU,
V ARAHAMIHIRA, PARASARA, JAI-
MINI, BADARAYANA, GOUTAMA.
NARADA, SOUNAKA, BHARADWAJA,
VASISHTA, KALIDASA, YAVANAS
and the like. Many great works jdF these
sages have been lost and a stage has come
when . people begin to doubt its varacity
and question its validity. Reasons are
obvious. The present-day so-called astro-
loger's not being conversant with the
established principles OR not being in a
position to devote the time needed to work
out the details in full and give its deserved
attention, dabble with the help of an
error-ridden meagre chart and proceed to
pronounce emphatically all sorts of yogas
and calamities in store, in a single breath
with the result that consultants, after a
time, finding nothing turning ut> as predic-
ted, lose faith in astrologers and in turn, , out rectification prove to be misleading in
in astrology also. The pitiable plight is
self-explanatory. In order to arrive at
correct conclusions, a careful preparation
of the chart in accordance with the time-
old principles is an inescapable necessity.
The mighty preparation involved would
easily take considerable time which indi-
cates that a conscientious astrologer could
Scrutinise only limited charts and attend
to limited clients in his life and this is
seldom done. In consideration of the

valuable magazine know the correct ap-
proach to astrology, I propose to explain

correction of birth time which is absolutely

principles of working. As experience tells
us, no two almanacs agree, even in a single
respect. Added to this, the eternal doubts
on ayanamsa. and determination of birth
time are there. Are we to take the com?
mencement^of flow or presentation of head
or Bhupatana or the first breath as the
birth time ? Deliveries, conducted with
surgical assistance, pose another problem.
In this direction, it has been said that
Bhupatana should be treated as the final
word on the matter. To determine this is
also another problem, as intimation of
birth is often given after a few minutes, as
the first attention is to be given, even in the
best run hospitals, to the new born and
the mother before any other matter can
be thought of either by the nurse or the
doctor in attendance. So the need for
correcting the time of birth before pre-
paring the chart is indispensible for any
astrologer. nr,nredi."tion?nrf.nnjinord witb-

deliveries conducted with surgical assis-
tance it is fair to note the time of birth as
indicated by Bhupatana and subject the
same to the principles of rectification of
birth time enunciated by the sages.
Mutual aspect or conjunction of Moon
with Mars results in causing the normal
monthly periods at regular intervals of
months in women. A period to be
followed with a fruitful conception occurs
when Mars aspects Moon in anupachayas.
Conception takes place when Sun and

Not only it shines brilliantly but it is also
the planet of dignity, promising satis-
factory fulfilment of all our desires. It
gives Sathvic nature to persons^and keeps
them jubilant. Being a fiery and fruitful
planet, persons having beneficial Jupiter,
will be optimistic, noble and jovial. They
will be generous and will have the belief
that, as they do more of charity, God
also will be merciful and helpful to them.
Jupiter is the Chief Governor for finance
and children. Everybody is concerned
with his family and bank position. Hence,
a person is said to be fortunate to lead a
peaceful life, only when Jupiter is well
posited in his horoscope and is not afilicled
by adverse'aspects from other - planets.
Jupiter is by nature very strong to ward
off the evils indicated by other planets and

Jupiter governing law makes the person
honest and sincere. He will speak only
truth and will be law-abiding. Hence he
will not err or commit any mistake which
itself offers peace of mind. He will beheld
in high esteem and will be respected by
all. Because of his honesty, integrity and
sincerity, he will lead a pleasant and
successful life without any trouble from the
bankers, judges, and the tax collectors.
Second house indicates according to
Uththara Kalamritham " speech, wealth,
belief in sacred tradition, mind to support
others, nails in the fingers, enjoyment of
life, truth or falsehood, the tongue and
the eyes, the garment, pearl, gem, copper,
diamond, perfume, determination, per-
fume, family relationshipi liberality,
friendship, trade, clear and convincing
speech, scholarship, gold, pure silver, a
close dependent and modesty."
In Jathaka Parijhatha, Sri Vaidyanatha
Dikshitha says that the second house
governs wealth, visual power, ease, learn-
ing, speech, household and food.
Westerners are of opinion that the
second house represents throat and ears,
whereas Hindus declare that the second
house stands for face, tongue, cheeks,
eyes, niouth and teeth. The latter have
allotted the - third hduse for the ears and
the throat. Our experience clearly shows
that the allocation-made by the Hindus is
correct.
(Malefics in the second house cause
moles in the lips/cheek, etc., ,and not in
the ear or the throat. But malefics in the
third house produce moles in these parts.
^Also whenever an injury is caused, the
part of the body indicated by the Hindus
alone is affected and so it is ari vis able
to follow the Hindu system.)
As regards profession, the second house
indicates self-earning capacity, the out-'
purchases and -sales, promissory notes,
bonds, the shares of various concerns and
securities.
In Horary Astrology, second house
indicates the money that had been lent,
one's movable property, his worth, whether
rich or poor, loss or profit by traffic,
money .locked up in speculation, money
entangled in law-suits, prosperity or other-
wise.
Second house also shows matters con-
cerning loss to the younger brother or his
life in a foreign place and secret inimical
activities to him or his investments. It
indicates the elder brother to mother, her
profits and friends. Children's occupation
and reputation are referred to the second
house. It also indicates the danger.to the
partner and to the person himself. It is a
maraka sign to the native and Ashtama
Slhana to the partner. As seventh house
 indicates public enemies and opponents,
it may show death to the rival. Second
house governs the disease and debts of
father. Second house shows second
marriage.

Jupiter, as lord of the Ascendant in the
second house, indicates that a person need
not exert much and do hard work or spend
much time to make money. ' Hcmay be-
come the director of an industry and im-
prove the business with satisfactory
increase in the profit. He will be able to
command respect from his subordinates and
labour and there will be no labour trouble
as the sixth house indicating labour receives
the beneficial aspect from Jupiter. If
Jupiter were to occupy the constellation of
.a benefic and if it receives favourable
aspects from other planets, the native can
arrange overdraft facilities easily. . But if
it is in the constellation of a malefic, loss
in transactions is threatened. So also
adverse results will be experienced if the
aspect is disharmonious,
Jupiter, as'lord of 2 in'the second house,
indicates that one can gain money as an
advocate. He may be a teacher, a lawyer or
a preacher. He can serve in a bank or in
ment Board. He may take up a job in the
finance department or in any educational
institution. He may own the shares of a
few industries, as Jupiter in his own quar-
ters has to offer multiplicity of interests,
since the houses, Saggittarius and Pisces
are dual signs. Jupiter makes a person an
orator and he may enter politics. Jupiter
in the constellation of Venus, lord of 7
promises gain through partner. If it is in
the constellation of lord of.10, the person
has progress and prosperity in the profes-
sion; If- it is in its own' star he obtains
money through personal ingenuity and
business. If the constellation lord owns
houses 11 and 12 (Saturn), the person will
have no savings. He will always face an
unbalanced budget. If lord of 5 and 8
rules the constellation, he will.be tempted
to speculate and lose. If Jupiter occupies
Kethu's constellation, Moolam, he will be
religious. He will have benefit from that
relative indicated by the house occupied
by Kethu in that horoscope.
Jupiter, as lord of 3 in the 2nd house,
indicates that one will' have studious
habits; inclination to study all subjects, a
desire to be a good writer, publicity officer,
editor, correspondent, salesman, touring
the periods of Jupiter, the native will gain
througlf brothers, cousins, neighbours,
etc. Short journeys made to expand one's
business will prove to be profitable. Jupiter
in his own constellation in' Visakam 4th
pada forebodes enmity, litigation, law
suits, loans and unavoidable worries. As
lord of 3 in his star Poorattadhi, it shows
that he will invest on properties in the
neighbourhood. His brother will also
invest along with him. Short journeys;
publications, etc., will .result in loss of
money and prestige. As lord 5f 3 in 2 in
Saturn's constellation, it portends litigation
about landed properties and enmity with
children who may claim their share of
property. Jupiter in Ihe constellation of
Mercury promises higher studies, long
journey, life in a foreign place, contact
with strangers and their aid. Jupiter in
Dhanishta, the constellation of Mars,
promises decent gains- from permanent
possessions, landed propsftf, conveyance,
.?nfomohilf* pnrf also throneh friends
and mother. Jupiter in Rahu's star, Satha-
bisha, in the second house will offer such
results as indicated by the lord of the sign
in which Rahu was, at the time of birth.
Jupiter, as lord of 4 in the second house,
indicates satisfactory yield from the field ;
good returns from land and property;
purchases of estate, conveyance, furniture,
etc., gain to mother who gives a part dT it
to the native. As lord of 4 .in 2 in Chitra
star, it indicates sale, of property or car
after some difficulty or accident. As lord
of 4 in Visakam star in Libra in the second
house, it indicates that he will have a large
dowry, landed property, etc. through wife.
But if it is a lady's chart, she can expect a
house to be constructed by the husband in
her name and be given as a gift. Jupiter,
in Uthrashada as lord of 4 in 2 in Capri;
corn, shows that the native will have
higher studies, long journey and service in
a foreign embassy or under a stranger.
One may work in medical or Government
departments or in mines. Jupiter in
Sravanam star portends evil results, tte
may have difficulty in enjoying his rights.
There may be law-suits about his landed
property. He may meet with accident
while travelling, There is also danger
through water. Jupiter in 2 in Dhanishta
star indicates that bis children will have,
higher studies, chancestogo overseas, etc.
The person will lose invariably in specu-
lation. We have a friend who has lost all
the properties during Jupiter period, even
though Jupiter happened to be lord of
Lagna, as he is born in Sagittarius. It
was in Dhanishta and in the sub of Mars
at 2340' Capricorn. Loss is indicated
by Mars, lord of 5 and 12. 5th house
shows his madness to speculate and 12th
house shows loss.
Jupiter, as lord of 5 in 2, generally
indicates satisfactory and substantial gains
through investment, speculation, lottery,
etc. His possessions will be increased by
such gains and also through the efforts of
children. An old person bom in Scorpio,
having Jupiter at 26 48' in Sagittarius,
had been living in a small cottage till he
retired. A year later, when his Jupiter
dasa commenced, be joined his son who
was offered good quarters by the Govern-
meot. Jupiter is lord of 2 and 5 to the
person. 5th house shows his son. There-
tore Jupiter becomes lord oi 1 and 10 to
the 5th house, and it was in. the constella-
tion of Sun who is lord of 6 (service) to
the 5th house (son). Jupiter can be lord
of 5 and occupy the second house only to
Leo (Simha)borns and Scorpio (Vrischika)
boms. If Leo is the Ascendant and
Jupiter is in Uthrashada star, the native
will gain by speculation, betting, music,
cinema, etc. Also, through partners he
will make money. But Jupiter in
Hastham star ruled by Moon threatens
loss in all 'attempts. Jupiter in Chitra
gives grand success in studies, larger
profits from permanent possession and
much assistance from strangers. Jupiter,
in the constellation of Venus, also indi-
cates loss.
Jupiter as lord of 6 in 2, shows steady
income by service; it gives an inclination
to study medicine and be a Veterinary
Surgeon. A person may obtain money by
10
dealing in pet animals. Me will tame and
train the animals. Jupiter in the constel-
lation of evil planets indicates loss,
limitation, litigation, sickness, etc. There
will be labour trouble, scandal, ill-repute
and waste of money.
Jupiter, as lord of 7 in 2, is a strong
indication that the person will have
advantages by marrying a wealthy partner.
Onecan expect satisfactory share of profit,
gain by union, success in law suits, danger
to public enemies, and gains by entering
into any agreement with another. If lord of
7 is afflicted and if it occupies the second
house, there will surely be loss :through
the other sex, partners, etc. Partners may
pass away. Second marriage is likely.
We may recollect now, that Jupiter own-
ing Kendhra houses and occupying the
maraka (death inflicting) sign2, will
prove to be dangerous. It is termed as
Kendhra-adhipathi and is therefore evil.
The evil effect is only for longevity and
nothing else. Actually when we collect
the horoscopes of people born in the
signs of Mercury, Virgo and Gemini,
having Jupiter in the second house, a
majority of them have lived happily
during Jupiter dasa for a period of 16
years, and they have survived that dasa and
also Saturn. The percentage of people who
died during Jupuer dasa will b^ only 10 to
12%. Of them, Mahatma Gandhi is one,
who died in Jupiter dasa, though Jupiter
was in the 10th house, (owning the
Kendhra houses 4 and 7). Again, when we
note the horoscopes of people who died
during Jupiter dasa, in a majority of cases,
Jupiter is neither a Kendhra-adhi- pathi,
nor does be occupy the maraka signs, 2 or
7. It will be observed that Jupiter causes
such unpleasant event only when it is in
the constellation of evil planets, irrespec
tive of the house it owns or occupies.
Jupiter as lord of 8 in the second house,
shows that one may gain by Insurance,
the money of the deceased, through the
deed of will executed by the deceased,
or one may receive bonus, gratuity,
provident fund, thrift fund, etc. One may .
be fortunate in .collecting debts ; also in
getting money through partners in business.

 MOON IN THE EIGHTH HOUSE
Moon is generally mentioned as a
planet in astrology. But, according to the
definition given in the dictionary, it is not;
it is one of the luminaries. It is the
nearest to the earth and it alone revolves
round and round the earth. Daily it
moves nearly 13 degrees in the Zodiac.
It is a feminine and a changeable planet.
Its effect is modified by the sign occupied
by it, by the planets conjoined with it, and
also aspecting it.
Moon is termed as " Mathi'1, meaning
"mind'*. There are in all 12 planets.
But astrologers have found it possible to
predict the resul ts of Sun, Moon, Mars,
Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, Rahu,
Kethu, Uranus and Neptune only, the
results of Pluto are still being studied and
it is in an experimental stage. Hence,
leaving Moon and Pluto, the other ten
planets may occupy some position in the
horoscope. A few may form good aspect
with Moon, and a few others may form
unfavourable aspects. Those who afflict
Moon, will cause trouble. As Moon
governs the mind, a person will be worried
with such matters, as are indicated by the
planet forming disharmonious aspect.
That is why, no man in the world has
peace of mind.
Eighth house, according to Ramadayalu,
author of Sanlccta Nidhi, is the house of
mystery, and according to us, of misery
also. It shows the fear and danger from
enemies, danger caused by diseases, death,
a hole, boat, imprisonment and the like,
crossing a river, theft, robbery, siege of a ~ 'Aquarius, ' Kumba in Dhanishta star
fort, fighting, wrong actions, etc.
Kalidasa in Uthra Kalamritha says that
the following matters are to be investiga-
ted from the 8th house:
Longevity, happiness or sorrow, defeat,
bonus, money of the deceased, affliction of
the face (as this house opposes the second
house indicating face), urinary disease
(8th house shows bladder and genital
organs), calamity, brother's enemy (as it is
11
the 6th house to the third), teasing a wife,
tuft of hair, ehemy's fort, laziness, punish-
ment from Government (10th house shows
Government, 8th house is the 11th to the
10th: Hence the fine paid by the native
is the gain to the Government),' fear, loss
of money (only when evil planets occupy),
giving a debt (when a benefic' occupies the
8th house), others' money received
without knowledge, permanent possession,
wickedness, sin, murder of a living person,
amputation, hearing bad news, chain of
unlucky events, war, agony, etc.
The kind of . death, wills, legacies,
gratuity, provident fund, insurance busi-
ness, money through partner and through
wife are also judged from the 8th house.
It also indicates disease of the younger
brother, speculative gains to mother,
landed property and conveyance of chil-
dren, enemy's younger brother, wife's
movable property, her vision, danger to
her life, father's life in a foreign place, or
separation, honour to elder brother, or
friends.
To a nation, it shows the conclusion of
a peace treaty, public morality, deficit
budget, as regards exports and imports,
estate duly, encroachment by others, loss
of territory, loss of the leader, national
grief, calamities, earthquake, volcano,
floods, fire, famine, infection, diseases,
causing much mortality, serious accidents,
etc.
Moon as lord of Lagna in the 8th house,
actually causes Rajayoga, and offers most
brilliant results, when one is in an infant
stage, running Mars dasa and the sub of
Moon. Later, in every Moon sub-period,
he will have a rise in his career. Moon
in Sathabisha causes worry and anxiety,
unless Rahu, at the time of birth, occupied
a favourable house. Moon in "Poorva-
pathra pada star gives success after much
struggle; it may cause anxious ill-health,
it increases enemies; one can win in
 election or competition. Partner may
lose money. Otherwise, wife may cause
worry due to her bad luck.
Moon, as lord of 2 in 8, in Uthrashada
star, gives loss through brothers or while
making short journey, or by editing books,
or by Government officials, one may be
pick-pocketed, especially in a public
place, Government office, bus stand,
railway, etc. Moon in Sravanam star
gives "wealth and not health. Moon in
Dhanishta, governed by Mars, shows that
one will have litigation and will be lucky
to have grand success! One may suffer
from any chronic disease during other sub- - very
periods, whereas Moon gives cure in its
period.
Moon, as lord of 3 in 8, causes anxiety
and worry, if it would have been in
Moolam star. But, one can make money,
if it was in Poorvashada. He may become
a partner, and give finance to run a show
with satisfactory bank position. Moon in
Uthrashada star indicates sale of landed
property and reduction in the permanent
noldings. Moon causes troubles through
vehicles, mother, etc. _ A few will change
their residence to avoid the persistent
trouble given by the house owner if Moon
was in Uthrashada star.
Wrf .-f A ir. R ir, VUsl nrr.
star, gives success in higher education,
long journey and life in a far-off place,
after experiencing lot of troubles. Separa-
tion from family, hospitalisationof father
and sale of property are also indicated.
Moon in Anuradha star indicates that one
can have through legacy or inheritance
landed properties, and one may serve in
Insurance or Chemical Engineering Indus-
try or in mines. It indicates enjoyment of
life in decent quarters, erected by the
Government, and also purchase of pro-
perty at competitive prices through the
influence of friends. Moon, in the con-
stellation of Jyeshta ruled by Mercury,
threatens enmity, disease, frequent changes
of residence, debts, purchase of property
through any society or by raising loan;
So,also, one may buy a car under hire- - in
' purchase system. ~ ......
Moon, as lord of 5 in 8 in Chithrai star
ruled by Mars, indicates that the native
12
will lose money in speculation or by pro-
ducing pictures, in cinema, drama or by
betting. It also shows ailment to brother
or misunderstanding with him. Moon,
as lord of 5 in 8 in Swathi, threatens that
one may divorce the partner who will
never co-operate; or the partner may be
ill. At least it gives separation for some
time due to lack of understanding and
adjustment. Moon in Vishakam star in 8
gives success in speculation, unexpected
gains by betting, lottery, etc. One may
serve in a maternity hospital or Stock
Exchange or race club. One will become
popular and also rich, if the malefic
planets do not afflict Jupiter, by forming
adverse aspect.
Moon, as lord of 6 in 8, is most
advantageous, only when it is in Hastham
star. But, if it were to be in Uthrapalguni,
the native will incur debts, suffer from
abdominal trouble, indigestion, loose
bowels, etc. Health will fail ; bank
position will deteriorate; enmity will
increase. Moon in Hastham causes loss
to the opponent and gain to the native.
Health may fail, but the native will not
lose money in his transactions. There
will be law suits, but he will invariably
come out victorious. Moon in Chitra
star may cause gastric ulcer or leuco-
ucruia. IsUC LUdy acivc u A u UiCUiLal
representative, or deal in spare parts,
instruments, etc. Health of brother also
will fail and both cannot have good
understanding. Separation and partition
are threatened.
Moon, lord of 7 in 8 in Makam star,
denies happy domestic life, especially in
adult age, when one is to really enjoy
peace of mind and be happy. It is
dangerous to his partner's longevity. She
may have fear complex or hysteria-
Partner m business will be very wise
and he may silently make up larger
profits without the knowledge of the
person born in Capricorn with Moon in
Makam. Moon, lord of 7 in Pooram star
8, makes one religious, and forces him
to speculate. Invariably, he will lose. .
Venus rules' Poo'rvapaiguni. It is lord of
5 and 10; its star is occupied by the
lord of the 7th houseopponentcom-
 petitorand Venus is lord of 11 to the
7th house. Moon, lord of 7 is in 2 to the
7th house. Hence the competitor wins.
The native will speculate as Venus is lord
of 5- Moon in Poorvapalguni gives
opportunity for one to enter into cinema
line or share brokers office or to lake up
music or deal in scents, petrol or milk.
Moon in Uthrapalguni in eight causes
ailment to partner; but much gain to him
with minimum effort. Rather, he will be
a partner assisting with finance alone,
whereas the native is to work hard, earn
and give away" the major part to the
financier-
Moon, in 8 in Cancer in Punarvasu star,
shoWs disposal of landed property, hatred
towards close relatives and loss of
comfort, etc. One may sell away the
conveyance. To his.mother, Moon offers
most desirable results. She may have
popularity and prosperity. Moon in
Pushyam is very bad,, as the person will
lose money, and have many enemies ; he
will bera pessimist. There may be fear
complex, inferiority complex and failure " liberal partner, a spend-thrift wife or
due to his own laziness, reluctance, silence
and negligence. Annoying letters and
depressing messages will be received. He
may incur debts due to business in petrol
or mine products. Moon in his own

fame and reputation.
Moon in 8 owning the 9th house indi-
cates that father will be fortunate in a place
other than his native place; father will
have mixed resutls by speculation, etc. if
Moon was in Mrigasirisha star owned by ' colleagues to spoil the person. Moon in
Mars. He may purchase a property at a
price, higher than the market rale. In the
bargain he will lose. Moon in Arudhra
indicates danger to father, Jailure in
higher studies, unnecessary attempts to go
overseas, etc. Moon, as lord of 9 in. 12 to
the 9th house in Rahu's star Arudhra, is
Mefinitciy evil if Rahu would have been ' in'
the 3rd or the 10th house. Moon in
13
Punatvasu star gives satisfactory bank
position, gain of money, success in pleasur-
able pursuits, chances of marrying one
born in a stranger's family or " Love
matriage ", intelligent children and making
money in cinema, music or speculation.
Moon,-as lord of 10 in 8 in Karthikai
star, will prove to be a Maraka. It may
end his life even in youth, when other
planets are weak and also afflicted,
because Karthikai is ruled ^by Sun, who
is a Bhadhaka Sthana-adhipathi. Planets
in the constellation of Bhadhaka Sthana-
thipathi will give death in their period
or sub period. As regards his profession,
he will have satisfaction in his remunera-
tion. He will be much respected. He can
save money. He will have peace, pleasure,
prosperity and permanent tie of friendship.
Moon in the constellation Rohini indi-
cates early demise of father, dissatisfac-
tion in service, though well-paid, always
thinking of a change, desire to go overseas,
etc... Moon in 8 in Mrigasirisha in Taurus
indicates success in enterprises, a very
husband, delay in marriage, difficulty in the
state of married life, profit by insurance or
gaining money by legacy.
Moon, as lord of II in 8~in Aswini star,
is definitely evil. The native can neither
have pleasant life, nor friends to oblige
him, or at least consoic mui. nc Lemuel,
think straight. He will be confused. He
will be rash and" will land himself in
trouble. He may have friends in the Police
Or Military or in such departments where
the officials have extraordinary powers.
In his weak and unguarded moments, he
may take them into confidence and may talk
about his wrong actions. When Moon
Bhukti operates, these friends will betray
him and will give valuable assistance to the
Bharani star gives wealth, music, large
circle of friends, much respect in society,
separation from father due to the transfer
in the father's profession, loss through
paternal uncle, difficulty through son-in-
law or daughter-in-law (5th house ?hows
one's son -or daughter and 11th house is

is indicated by the 11th house). Partner
 VIMSHODDHARI DASA
To ascertain the time of event in. one's
life is very important. The methods adop-
ted by the Hindus, and the Westerners
differ absolutely, one from the other.
The Hindus take the exact position of
Mpob at the time of birth, find out in which
constellation (Nakshathra, star) Moon then
was, the planet that governs the constella-
tion, the total number of Solar years
allotted to that planet, the position of the
star already passed before birth and the
balance of the Nakshathra that is to run;
after calculation, find out the balance of
the period that is to pass from the time of
birth and then the order of the dasa is to
be followed:
They call the periods of the planets as
''Dasas The Hindu sages have adopted
and advocated many dasas of which three
are largely in use. They are Vimshoddhari
Dasa, Ashtottari Dasa, and Kalachakra
Dasa. Of these, the Vimshottari is found
to be very simple, most accurate and
scientific.
They have taken the seven planets (who
rule ihe seven days of die v* ecky iiild also
the nodes, Rahu and Kelhu. It is not
known why they have recommended to
follow a particular order of the periods,
and also why they have allotted each
-planet a particular number of years
(Kethu 7; Venus 20; Sun 6 ; Moon 10 ;
Mars?; Rahu 18; Jupiter 16; Saturn 19
and Mercury 17 years).
Each planet rules many years. But it
will be advantageous to know the exact
lime. So, they have divided the ''Dasas"
"into 9 Bhukties (Apaharassub periods)
and the 9 Bhukties are ruled by the
9 planets in the cyclic order. As the
Bhukties also run for years, they are again
subdivided among the same nine planets"
and this subdivision is called Antharas.
Further* it is subdivided into Sookshmas,
Trana,'etc^s * '
The Zodiac is divided into 12 equal
parts; each is called a Solar mansion
30
(or Rasi or Sign). They are Aries, Taurus,
Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scor-
pio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and
Pisces.
The Hindus have divided the Zodiac
into 27 equal divisions; each measures
13-20'. They commence from Aries 0
and end by Pisces 30; The 27 divisions
are called Lunar Mansions (Nakshafras,
StarsConstellations). They are called
Aswini, Bharani, Kartikai, Rohini
Uthrapathrapada and Revathi.
The following explains why they have
taken 9 planets and divided the Zodiac
into 27 Nakshatras, and whether all the
thousands of stars in the Heavens influence
or which of them exactly brings about
modification in the results of the planets.
The Zodiac is 360 in Longitude, It is
first divided into 3 equal parts of 120c
each. The four signs, Aries, Taurus,
Gemini and Cancer, make up 120 in the
segment AEL. The next four signs Leo,
Virgo, Libra and Scorpio form 120, and
they are in the segment LES ; Saggit-
tarim Capricorn, Aauarius and Pisces are
the last 4 signs in the segment SEA
measuring 120.

Planets moving from the point A
(Vernal Equinox) AriesMesba 0 accord-
ing io Nirayana systemget their results
modified as they move in the Zodiac. In
the first 13-20' i.e. 0 to 13 20' any
planet transiting in Mesha (Aries) will be
influenced by Kethu, and the constellation
is called Aswini. Then when it passes on
between 13-20' and 26-40', Venus
influences it; this area is called Bharani."
Between 26-40' to 30 of Aries and
from 0 Taurus to 10 Taurus, the planet's
results will be modified by Sun. Karthikai is
the nhme of the s tar> Then-from l00 Taur us
to 2320', Moon modifies the results of
the planet occupying this lunar mansion
called Rohini. Between 2320' in Taurus
31-
and 30" Taurus, as well as 0 Gemini to
6 40' in Gemini, the mansion called
Mrigasririsha is ruled by Mars and the
planet in this area will be under the
control of Mars.
The ,next "13 20', called Arudhra, is
governed by Rahu; next Punarvasu is
ruled by Jupiter (Guru). It is followed
by Pushya and Ashlesha governed by
Saturn anc^dercury respectively.
Similarly, from Simha 0 (Leo) up to the
end of Scorpio, the four signs are divided
into 9 lunar mansions;, (called .N.akshatfas,..
Stars or Constellations) termed Makam,
Poorvapalguni, Uthrapalguni,. Hastham,
Chithrai, Swathi, Visakam, Anuradha and
 Jyeshta which are ruled by the 9 planets in
the same order, viz., Kethu, Sukra (Venus),
Sun, Moon, Mars (Sevvai, Mangal,
Angaraka, Kuja), Rahu, Jupiter (Guru),
Saturn (Sani), and Mercury (Budha).
The remaining 1/3 of the Zodiac SA,
contains the 4 signs Sagittarius, Capri-
corn, Aquarius and Pisces; and the nine
constellations in it are Moolam, Poorva-
shada, Uthrashada, Sravana, Dhanishta,
Sathabisha, Poorvapathrapada, Uthra-
pathrapada and Revathi. The planets
Kethu, Venus, Sun, Moon, .Mars, Rahu,
Jupiter, Saturn, and Mercury rule the
stars in the same order.
Hence planets in between 0 13 20' in
Aries (Aswini), 0o-13o 20' in Leo
(Makam), and 0- 13 20' in Sagittarius
(Moolam) will be under the sway of
Kethu; 13-20' in Aries to 26 40'
Barani; 1320' in Leo to 26 40'
Poorvapalguni; 13 20' in Sagittarius
to 2640' Poorvashada are ruled by
Venus and planets transiting in these
zones are controlled by Venus and the
results of Venus will be offered by the
planet, transiting in this zone.
Thus, each planet governs three zones in
the Zodiac.
If a planet were to be in Aswini, another
in Makam and the third in Moolam, all are
-under the influence of Kethu and are in
Kethu's zone. If the astrologer says that
a planet is modified by the Lord of the
constellation Kethu, then the statement is
not complete and clear. He has to add,
whether it is in Aries, or Leo, or Sagittarius,
as one cannot locate the position of the
planet correctly.
Suppose a father has three sons Brahma,
Vishnu and Sivapresume that each son
has nine children and every son gives the
same order of names, Rama, Baratha,
Lakshmana, Sathrugnan, Dharmaputhra,
,Bhima, Arjuna, Nal^ula and Sahadeva.
The'first issue of all the three are' called
"Rama", the second issue of each
called " Bharatha " and so on, and the
issue of them will be l< Sahadeva ^ If
postman has to deliver a letter with
address Rama alone, how can he exactly-
32
fix up to which Rama it refers. The
moment, he calls out Rama, three Ramas
will respond. Instead, suppose all the 27
children are given different names, how
easy and exact it will be to identify.
Similarly, instead of calling each lunar
mansion as Kethu 1 (Aswini), Kethu 2
(Makam), Kethu 3 (Moolam), Venus I
(Bharani), Venus II (Pooram), Venus III
(Pooradam), and so on, or as Kethu in
MeshaAries, Kethu in SimhaLeo,
Kethu in Dhanus (Sagittarius), and so on,
the ancients gave different names to all the
27 stars (27 zones of l3o-20') commencing
from Aswini and ending with Revathi.
They are aware that the stars are not elon-
gated from 0 to 13-20' and then another
from 13o-20' to 26o-40/ and so on. The
Zodiac does not give the appearance of a
circular wheel made of a cane with 27 rings
in it. But the Zodiac isan imaginary path-
way inthe heavens, 360 in length and 15 in
width with stars scattered all over, in and
outside the Zodiac, and appear as dots and
not rods. The constellations selected by
our sages are either a group of stars or any
single bright star, so that they can be first
Idciitiiicu easily. A few of iheia are In ilie
Zodiac itself; majority of the groups are
around the constellations which are named
after these groups. These stars may be
very close to the 27 divisions of Zodiac
(constellations) or far away, and they may
be either to the north or south of the
Zodiac. A few groups are very near or in
the next constellation, and yet they are
chosen simply for reference and calculation
to locate where a particular constellation
would be in the Heavens, as there is no
other constellation within that zone which
can hp iinmictaVahly identified.' Therefore,
these 27 stars are to guide us, so that we
can calculate and ascertain the position of
the 27 zones in the Zodiac.
These 27 constellations are governed by
the 9 planets. Hence each planet rules,
over three Zones at an interval of 120'
KethuAswini, Makam, Moolam, Venus-
SukraBharani, Pooram, Pooradam.
These zones modify the results of the
planets transiting in the Zodiac and not the
stars, scattered in the Heavens. This is the
 reason why they have selected only 27 stars,
. even though there are numberless stars in
the sky.
Suppose (a) there is a light in the centre
of a circular room provided with .12 glass
panes of different colours, (b) around the
room there is a verandah and outside it,
there are 27 /glass panes, the colour of
which 1, 10 and 19, is the same; 2, 11
and 20 differ from 1, 10, 19 but these
three are of the same colour; 3, 12 and
21 differ from others but these three
are of the same colour as they belong to
one group. Similarly, all the 27 panes are
of 9.different colours.
If a person walks outside the circular
verandah looking at the light inside, he
will find the colour of the light getting
changed according to the colour of the
panes. Similarly, the results of the planets
are changed by the lord of the sign and the
. lord of the Nakshthra.
If a planet is compared to a torch light,
then the influence of the signSolar
mansion occupied by it and the influence
I-6f the Zones of 13" 20' called stars,
change the colour of the light. You can
laftC Uilc of kliw COioUi' indicalcd by
the sign and another slide of the colour
shown by the Lord of the constellation
and interpose between the torch light and
the observer. The light from the torch
-gets modified. and the resultant will be
absolutely different.
With this principle only, the results of
planets are judged and Vimshottari Dasa
is worked out.
The planet taken for calculating Vim-
_shoddhari Dasa is Moon. So find out the
position of Moon at the time of the birth
of a child or the commencement of any
project. Depending on the constellation
position of moon, the dasa at the time of
birth is chosen ; then the exact position of
Moon in that constellation gives the
r>balance, of. the- period of- that dasa.
Suppose Moon is at 0 Aries-Mesha.
Moon is in the constellation Aswini.
Aswini is governed by Kethu. Kethu's
total period is 7 years. As at the time of
birth, Moon has not passed any part of
Aswini, it has to pass all the 1320'.
34
These seven years represented by 13 20'
have to run from the time of the birth of
the child. But if a child is born when
Moon wasin 6 - 40'Aries, Moon hasmoved
before the birth (or before commencing
any work) 6 40' in Aswini and is to run
another 640' to pass through Aswini,
i.e., Moon has passed exactly half of
Aswini and is Mo finish another half.
Therefore, in the total period of seven
years, half of it, i.e., years have
passed before birth and 3^ years are to
run from the time of the birth of the
child.
If Moon would have been in 3 20' of
Aswini, Moon was in Kethu's star. It had
passed 3-20' = (3 x 60) +20=200'. - The
total number of minutes for each star of
13- 20' = (13 x 60)+20 = 800'. Therefore
before birth, 200 divided by 800 Kethu
Dasa had passed: is to pass. For
800', Kethu period is 7 years. Hence
for -525 0f Kethu period, balance at the
800
time ofr birth. is-^q-x
600 _/ years = 5 years
3 months.
Suppose Moon was in Punarvasu con-
stellation in Gemini at 26.
In Gemini 0 to 6 40'is Mrigasriri-
sham, 6- 40' to 20 is Arudhra 20 to 30
in Gemini and 0 to 3-20' in Cancer
(Katakam) is Punarvasu.
If Moon would have been in 26 in
Gemini at the time of birth then 6 x 60'=
360', Moon had already moved into
Punarvasu. -It has to move 30 minus
26 = 4 and 0 to 3 20' in Cancer =
3- 20' in Cancer ^ 4+ 3* - 20' = 7 - 20' =
(7 x 60)'+20' = 440'. Therefore Moon has
moved 360'. It has to move 440'.
Punarvasu is ruled by Jupiter. The
Vimshoddhari Dasa of Jupiter is 16 years. .
Hence for 800', Jupiter (GuruViyazhan
Brihaspathi) dasa is l6years. The time
to pass 440 = 440 ^ 44
800 x 16 years = j years.
That is, 8.8 years of Jupiter dasa is to run.

Is Ashtama Sani ever evil? No.
The honour and reputation conferred on
a Hotel Proprietor and his success in the
competition during Ashtama Sani is
discussed.

At the lime birth, the balance of
Saturn dasa was 16 years 5 months and
20 days.
Rotarians, arc noted for their kindness,
sympathy, pure and refined affections.
They are fond of society and sociability.
Like Gcmini-borns, they are intelligent.
Like Librans, they are very capable in
proper assessment and correct judgment.
Like Aquarians, they are most loyal to
friends and they are the highest grade of
humanity. They never act in a hurry and
so they seldom have cause to regret their
actions. Rotarians arc generally rich in
wisdom apd wealth. They have the
"qualifies of theThre^'airy signs- Geminr^f. v^ati,ve ifjt.wpujdj have occupied the con-
Libra and Aquarius. "
In Visakhapatnam, the Rotarians arc
very enthusiastic. They give life to the
3
people who have a routine and mono-
tonous career. On 15-7-64, the positions
of the planets were as follows:
Jupiter Mars Rahu
Venus Sun
Saturn Mercury

Lagna

The Proprietor of the Hotel Ooty. was
presented with a fancy and costly rolling
his Hotel to be maintained in the best
condition iu tliuL thr hyfy*''"
condition in which the hotel premises are
kept, the absence of fly nuisance inside,
preparation of delicious dishes, prompt
service without any waste of time, the
proper sterilisation of the utensils and the
cleanliness of the kitchen, cooks and"*
servers, etc.
On 15-7-64, according.to Vimshottari
Dasa, he was running Venus (lord of
Lagna) Dasamajor period, Moon (lord
of 10) bhukti - Apahara- Sub-period
and Sun (lord of 11) sub-sub-pcriod
anthara.
Generally, lagna indicates the results .
enjoyed by the native of the horoscope-
Lord of Lagna offers grand success to a
steilation of the lords of Tv2, 3,*'6, '10 or
Ulh house. The sub (according to
KrishnaraurtiPaddhalhi) in that constella-
tion must be ruled by one of the lords of
1, 2, 3, 6, 10 or 11th house. Then, in
their conjoined period, one can look for
success. Here, VenusSukrais the lord
of thelagna. It is in the constellation
of Moon, lord of 10, and is also in its own
(Venus) Sub (Krishnamurti Paddhathi), as
it was in 2125Vwhich is between 20
27'and 2240' in CapricornMakara
ruled by Venus in Moon's star Sravana.
So Venus will contribute for success.
10th house is owned by moon. It is in
its own.sign conjoined with lord of 4 and
5 and in Pushyamstar, the constellation
of Saturn, lord of 4 and - 5 and in the
sub of Mercury in Pushyam star. There-
fore, Moon who is under the influence of
Saturn and Mercury cannot confer any
honour during the joint periods of
Moon and Saturn or Moon Bhukti,
Mercury Anthara. Venus aspecting Moon
(lord of 1 aspecting lord of 10) gives bene-
ficial strength to Moon to offer beneficial
results, after Saturn and Mercury sub-sub-
periods are over, and during Venus dasa
Moon Bhukti Venus Anthara alone, it has
to give.
Ir may be a fact that it few months
piior. mostly in January and February
196-1, the judeet; ccuid have c^i-sidcrcu
this hotel as oiic of the two to be recogni-
sed. Moon in conjunction with Saturn is
called 'Punarphoo'. That is, in the first
attempt, Saturn conjoined with Moon
does not offer the desired results. . Either
it may be delayed or denied. Only on the
subsequent attempts the native will be
crowned with success. But the moment
when Venus Anthara started after 5-4-64,
this Lodging House could have impressed
on the customers and Rotarians that his
hotel is second to none in Vizag. Proba-
bly he" would have improved the hotel
from 5-4-64.- k
11th house is always for success. Lord
of 11 contributes for social and financial
success; also one can come victorious in
any conflict, litigation, competition or
war only during the beneficial sub-period
of lord of 11. That is why, Ravana tried
to keep all the planets in the 11th house
to lagna when his son Indrajit was about
4
to be born. But Saturn stretched itself to
the twelfth house to save the lives of the
Devas by bringing misfortune to Indrajith.
This is to commit to memory that in any
horoscope, the llth house promises
success.
Lagna indicates the native. The seventh
house shows the opponent. The sixth
house indicates enmityopen inimical
activity and also the loss to the opponent,
as the sixth house is VRAYA to the 7th
house. The eleventh house is for success.
Tenth, house brings, honour, name and
fame. Therefore, when this native was
running the dasa of the lord of the lagna-
Venus (Sukra), sub-period of the lord of ,
10, Moon bhukti, and lord of 11 (Sun)
anthara, he had this honour and
According to transit followed by the
Hindus, takingthe position of Moon alone
in the horoscope at the time of birth, one
has to say that the native's chart shows
that Moon was in Cancer (Kataka) and
Saturn, on 15-7-64, was in Aquarius
(Kumbha), which is the 8th house from
Cancer. In Tnrrtil Nad. it is :><rid Ihul

one may be committing a crime for a great
number of years. Buthewillbe caught
and punished during Ashtama Sani. This
is the common saying in the south.
Also, it is said that Jupiter, transiting in
the 10th house, portends a fall in one's
career. It may bring scandal and ill-repute
(10 so (rngJTLi^iiSltfniu GlaQuu/rsar). Such
slogans should end. Proper application
of the science alone is needed.
Astrologers may say that Ashtama Sani
is evil in a few cases especially when the
dasa is adverse. They may add that
Ashtama Sani cannot prove to be harmful
if the dasa is good. It is true. But the
statement is incomplete. The (a) exact
time when Ashtama Sani can offer agree-
able results, (b) in which cases Sani is a
benefic and (c) in which cases Ashtama
Sani is evil, has not.been discussed elabo-
rately by any so far.
 ^ s'of 1, 2> 3, 6, 10 and 11th houses,
henever they, during transit, form favour-
able aspects, offer desirable results
Surmg competition, election, litigation,
etc. And, lords of 4, 5, 7, 8, 9 and 12th
houses, whenever they form evil aspects
during transit, the native wins. Find out
to which house Saturn is the lord.
The native will lose in the competition
whenever the lords of 1, 2,3,6, 10 and
11th houses form evil aspect to their origi-
nal position at birth and loss is also to be
expected during the time when lords of
4, 5, 7, 8, 9 and 12th houses form favoura-
ble aspects to their radical position. This
is the truth which the readers can confirm
after application and verification :
(1) Who is Saturn ? He is lord of 4
and 5 to the native bom in Tbula
Lagna. Therefore, he is lord of
10 and 11 to Mesha (Aries) boms,
whichv indicates the opponents.
As 10th house and ! 1th house
show reputation, success and pro-
fit, Saturn, the lord of 10 and 11
i * the opponent, will do good to
lhe opponent; if Suturn forms
aspcci wiii: radiual Saturn
mi Uuiiecr, then the oppouc-nt will
wiu anJ the native v.'ili lose. Put
if Saturn forms evil aspect with
its original position, it is incapa-
ble of producing its beneficial
results and hence the opponent
loses and the native gains. There-
fore, Ashtama Sani is bad to the
opponent and -not to the native
(Ashtama to Moon sign). It is
also worth doing research to con-
firm that those who are born with
a planet in retrograde motion,
have an advancement in their
career when the same planet is
again retrograde during transit.
When will he lose the Rolling Cup?
Astrological explanation.
When Saturn transits in Pisces^Meena
and forms favourable aspect with its
radical position, i.e., in-theyear 1967, after
having had a " Hat Trick ", the cup will
leave his hands. At that time, the dasa will
be ruled by Venus, and the sub-period
(bhukti) will be ruled by Rahu. When
Sukra and Moon have jointly done this
good to him, the planet in 6 or 8 or 12 to
these two planets will undo what they have
done. This is one of the truths. If planets
A and B in their periods give a result, then
the planet in 6 or 8 or 12 to A and B will
give the diametrically opposite results. If
one joins a service during A dasa B bhukti,
then he will lose or leave this post during
C bhukti, if C is in 6," 8 or 12 to A and B
and forms evil aspect with A and B.
Rahu is in 12 to Venus and it forms
(45) semi-angular aspect with Venus.
Moon. and Rahu are forming quincunx
aspect (150) and Rahu is in 6 to Moon.
Therefore, the honour conferred on him
during Venus dasa. Moon bhukti," will be
withdrawn during Venus dasa, RnVi i.; ." -
in 1967, ?, Rahu is in 12 to Vci,.;,;
6 to Moon.
Therefore, while judging uiv
results, the following must be included;
(a) take the radical position of the .
planets;
(b) consider whether they will contri-
bute for one's success or not; and
(c) find out what aspects they form,
during transit, with their original
position.
Such a consideration will be a corrective
method for the inaccurate findings.
 CHARACTERISTICS TO BE CORRECTED
By
Kayeskay
(1) Who is a great bore: One who
will not come to the point, but. will be
talking continuously without a break, even
by phone, is a bore.
(a) For .such people, the ascendant
(lagna) may be either Leo or it
may be weak and Moon may
occupy the sign Leo (Simha),
Mercury, the lord of the second
house, will have evil aspect from
Mars, which makes one very
talkative.
(b) People bofn in Ulhrapalguni star
especially when Moon occupied
between 5 26' and 7 in Virgo
(Kanni) having Sun dasa. Mercury
Bhukti (A pahara-sub-period) . at
the time of birth, will be very
talkative. (T-iorasara by Frithu-
yasas; Mars and Node adUciin;;
(cl So also, people bom in Pushyam
aloi- with Moon in Cancer
(Katakam) between 5 26' and
7 20' will be talkative especially
when Mars afflicts.
(d) But a person may be talkative,
yet he will sacrifice his life, be a
protector of his community and
be a favourite pf the Kjng. Such
people will have subhobhayachari
yoga having the benefics in 3 or
6 or 10 or Jlth house, counted
. from the Ascendant. They are
generally the famous people who
become the M.L.A. or M.P. or
M.L.C. or Councillor or Mayor,
etc. But if Mars forms dishar-
monious aspect, they will speak
much on the platform, freely make
or Kem2nyJproimses, 'but they cannot
keep up their word.- Saturn
$
afflicting these benefics make
them selfish. They will easily
forget the past. If Jupiter forms
favourable aspect, they will fulfil
all their promises and thereby
from the lowest rung of the lad-
der, they will be able to reach
the highest rung, slowly, steadily
and surely.
Mars and Kethu afflicting Mercury
make one a bore. (Jatakadesa
Marga-Podumanai Ohomadiri.)
(e) If Jupiter were to be in Upavcsa-
navastha (Avaslhas - will be
explained in later issues) the per-
son will be talkative, and he will
be subjected to troubles from the
Government and from his enemies
(Sanketanidhi-Ramadayalu).
Juniicr afHirtsM Mr.rc, Mcrcuiy aud a
Node makes one a bore.
(2) Whc is the greater boreV He who
keeps on talking after he has made his
point clear is the greater bore.
The second house indicates speech.
Jupiter in the second house shows that one
is capable of expanding a subject arid deal
with it exhaustively. (That is why Jupiter
in the second house makes one a lawyer or
a teacher.) Mercury makes one go into
minute details, analyse and describe elabo-
rately. So these two planets and the
second house are to be considered.
If Mare afflicts them, one will not mind
others' feelings; whether the other relishes
or not, he will be talking non-stop. Even
when he is repeatedly told fenough',
enough', he will never end his speech.
If Rahu or Kethu afflicts, he will carry
tales and like " Naradhar " will be doing
mischief.
 If Saturn afflicts, he will be fully aware
that he speaks a lie, but he will be happy
. only when he would have uttered falsehood.
His worst habit will be to utter the same
lie to many and try to make everyone
believe that what he states is a fact.
Therefore, those people should under-
stand that they have to cultivate the habit
of:
(1) speaking only the truth;
. (2) speaking to a person only when the
other relishes;
(3) coming to the point quickly and
being brief; and
(4) on other occasions, remembering
that ' Silence is Golden'.
3, Who is the most dangcrons person :
The liar. In Phaladeepika, Mantreswara
mentions ,>that be who is born in a
" Pamara yoga will be a liar. That is,
if lord of 5 occupies any of the three evil
houses 6,-8 or 12 or if the lord of '6,
8 or 12 occupies the 5th house or if the

rbe fifth house indicates the 'mind*
of a person. His thoughts and intuitions
are governed by the 5th house. Moon is
called 'mathi*, the mind. Hence Moon
afflicted by lords of 6, 8 or 12, is also
undesirable, as it will be difficult for one
to speak the truth. The second house
indicates speech ; if Lord of 2 is afflicted,
one will utter lies, even though the lord of
, 2 may be a benefic-
The following is the horoscope of one
who continues to be a liar. He is bom

 MOON IN THE NINTH HOUSE
Moon is the fastest moving planet in
the Zodiac. It moves daily on an average
about 13 degrees. It is a watery planet
and owns. the movable watery signs.
Therefore its characteristic is change-
ability and its influence is often unsettling.
If Moon is the ruling planet of a native,
his desire will be to have changes very
frequently. Neither will he live in one
premises, nor will he stick on to any
profession.
Moon" signifies liquids, water ponds,
lakes, rivers, sea, etc : Neptune indicates
ocean.
Ninth house, according to Ramadayalu,
author of Sanketa Nidhi, is the house of
prosperity, auspiciousness, etc., merito-
rious deeds. Temples, wells, circular -
reservoirs, sacrifices, pilgrimage, long
journey to holy places and charity are
indicatpd hv the 9th h^use.

Charity, virtue, visit to holy places,

ation with good people, ancestral
property, children, horses, elephants,
buffaloes, coronation hall, vedas, circu-
lation of money, etc.
Father and his qualities etc., according
to Hindus are to be divined from the 9th
house.
As 4th house indicates one's permanent
place of residence, the 12th house counted
from the 4th house, that is, the third
house indicates short journey, the 6th
house to the 4th is the 9th house. Hence
>-it indicates long journey" * i- _i,n
9th house indicates religion, philoso-
phy, spiritual initiation, sea voyage, cross-
10
ing the sea, dreams and higher education,
submission of thesis, research work, etc.
One's success in publication, insurance
and success of voyage are solved from the
ninth house. Discovery, exploration, the
previous birth and punyam, i.e., the luck
due to meritorious deed in the previous
birth are indicated by the 9th house.
In Satya Samhita, the author says that
the rest house and favour from others are
investigated from the 9th house. One
may be in danger ; but in the last moment,
he receives the aid which we call " Provi-
dential Help". This is due to the occupa-
tion of benefics in the 9th house or its
lord situated in a favourable house.
In Phaladeepika, Mantreswara says that
the 9th house shows one's Acharya, deity,
father, meritorious deeds, previous luck,
worship, tapas, grandson, etc.

Moon as lord of the Ascendant, Lagna,
in the 9th house, in Poorvapathrapada
4th quarter, indicates that one will have
higher studies, long journey and high
parentage. He or she will be lucky after
45 years of age. One may get into service
in External Affairs, Foreign Embassy,
International trade, Foreign Exchange,
Shipping, Export, Import, etc. Moon as
lord of Lagna in Uthrapathrapada in 9,
throws many obstacles in youth; one
becomes dejected : but later he will have
success in research work which needs
perseverance. In the first attempt, he will
face some problems. He will be able to
solve them subsequently. He may be born
a poof.family.. ..But he .will be.able .to*,
get scholarship and other assistance to
complete his higher studies. Moon in
Revathi star in 9, shows that one will be
 intelligent, will come out successful in
examinations and hold transferable posts.
.He will be fond of travel and he will make
bis fortune in foreign land. He will have
prophetic dreams or visions.
In whichever star, Moon as lord of 1 is
in 9, it gives long journeys, psychic
experiences, study of science, law, philoso-
phy, etc. and also gain through partner's
relatives- If Moon is afflicted, trouble
through foreign affairs, exports and
imports, and foreign exchange are to be
expected. If one bets in horse races, he will
invariably lose in long distance races, as
ninth house shows long distance meeting-
Because, Moon, as lord of Lagna, has to
occupy either the constellation of Jupiter,
the lord of 6 (Poorvapathrapada) or of
Saturn, the lord of 8 (Uthrapathrapada)
or of Mercury lord of 12 (Revathi).
Hence, even though Moon is lord of
Lagna, and the house it occupies is also a
Bhagya Sthana9th, yet the lords of
constellation owning the Dusthanas 6, 8
or 12, spoil Moon and during Moon's
periods, one cannot have peace of mind or
pleasure. Worries and delay, to make
attempts frequently to come ovt
are indicated.
Moon, lord of 2 in 9 iu Atjuarius. shews
that one comes out successful in competi-
tions, if. Moon would have occupied
Dhanishta star; because Dhanishta is
ruled by Mars which is the lord of 6 and
11 to Gemini-boms. Planets owning 6
and 11 show that they may have open
enemy, and may have to fight due to 6th
house and come out victorious as it owns
11th house also. So also in competitive
or departmental examination, one gets
selected. One may fall ill in a foreign
place and be cured or one may go
overseas, for medical treatment. 6th
house shows disease and the 11th house
indicates the cure.
Moon, lord of 2 in 9, in Aquarius in
Sathabhisha will offer such results which
Rahu, the lord of Sathabhisha shows,

pada indicates that one can gain by publi-
cation, foreign travel, service in a foreign
embassy, export, import, or as an
U
ambassador or in international trade, etc.
To be an adviser, minister, secretary,
etc., Moon is well posited.
Moon as lord of 3 in 9 in Uthirashada
star indicates that one may dispose of his
ancestral property, permanent possession,
etc. One will ever be studious. If it is
afflicted, he will be dull but hard-working
during his high school course when he will
be running Moon dasa followed by Mars
who is the lord of the 12th house. Mother
will fall ill and will be admitted in the
hospital- There will be wastage of money
through conveyance. Moon in 9 in
Sravanam star indicates that one will go
on long journeys, gain by editing, publish-
ing, etc., or by taking agency of foreign
produce, will have foreign collaboration,
will be a representative of concerns
managed by strangers, will occupy, trans-
ferable posts and enjoy the goodwill of
neighbours, cooperation of colleagues and
assistance from brothers. One may be
interested in business, in commodities
usually, foodstuffs, oils, etc., in foreign
liquor, in shipping agency, etc.

and runs a show, it will end in loss and
the partnership will get dissolved during
the conjoined period of Mars and Moon.
Moon as lord of 4 in 9 in Moolam star

All matters will be in a liquid state. It
will not be possible to take any decision

By
Ram Prakash,
New Ddhi
Much has been said about out beloved
Panditji since he left for his heavenly
abode on the 27th May, 1964. Much is
being said even now but much will still be
said in the years and by the generations to
come. For, such a man among men rarely
comes. In thought and in action'he was
pure as crystal, noble like nobility itself.
He was the hope for the oppressed and
the down-trodden among humanity. Who
could excel him in intellect? Yet his
intellectual superiority never clashed with
his sense of humanity, his immense love
for the children. It was amazing to find
how diametrically opposite qualities
could thrive and prosper side by side in
one single man. He was a nationalist in
mind, but international in outlook. He
was an astute politician and at the same
time; a great poet and visionary. He
could aivvcys lock far beyond his time

when such a great soui leaves its monai
frame, students of Astronomy 8c Astrology
in their own way try to find out the trtxth
behind the birth and death of the person.
In this humble article which is a
shradhanjali to the great man I would
try to interpret the reasons for his death.
It may be of interest to know that the
great Lord Rama, Lord Budha, as also
Sri Adi Sankaracharya, Sri Ramanuja-
charya, Sri Thyagaraja, Sri Arbindo - illustrious,
Ghose, Sri Lokmanya Tilak, Sri Sivananda
belonged either to Cancer Lagna or Cancer
rasi. The greatness of Panditji is' to establish such a Kingdom ?
accounted for by the fact that he too
owed his origin to this rare Lagna and
Rasi i.e., Cancer. As we know Cancer
fnativities .are masters of Jfieir thoughts,^ u,v-belpnged to the( same

their missions of life; they do not budge
an inch from their chosen paths. They
would never be guided by any agency
21
other than dictates of their own con-
science.
I do not propose to dwell on the
powerful Yogas such as Malawa Yoga,
Rajlakshna, Parijatha, Damini and
Obhychari obtaining in this horoscope
besides the graceful swakshetri Moon in
Lagna imparting great strength to the
horoscope and other aspectal influences of
Venus, Mercury, Mars (Yogakaraka) and
Jupiter especially on the tenth house
which have capitulated him to the highest
glory and eminence he enjoyed. They
hardly deserve a mention here as even a
casual observer knew about his greatness
and popularity much more than even
learned Pandits of Astrology could ever
predict.

the Supreme Lord was kind enough in
sending his chosen representative down
below for alleviating the miseries of the
people and for establishing social and
economic justice.
Having been born in the same Lagna 8c
Rasi as that of Lord Rama, it is conceiva-
ble that Panditji must necessarily have
inherited some of the noble traits of that
ascetic king. Mahatma
Gandhi's cherished desire was to see
Ram Rajya. Whom else could he select
He fought relentlessly against social
injustice. His life was full of ups and
downs like that of Sri Rama, who too

completely neglecting his own comforts
in life.
 Now when the light has gone, the same
strange phenomenon is observed again
with the difference that almost all the
planets have gone above the horizont i.e.,
within the last six houses. It is as though
he has been called back above by the
Almighty for a better assignment, i.e,, for
setting things right in the Suryaloka.
Rahu at birth and death in 12th house is
a pointer to this fact.

It may not be out of place to say that
for Cancer Lagna, Venus and Mercury
are Marakas, as also Sun though to a
lesser extent. Saturn being the Lord of
7th House & 8th House is also evil. Mars
and Jupiter are benefics and Mars is also
a Yogakarka.
A glance study of the horoscope shows
the following Arishtas -
I. A Kalasarpa Yoga (Saturn in
dragon, Rahu is dragon's head and
Kethu is Dragon's tail). When all
the planets are hemmed between
Rahu and Kethu, a Kalasarpa Yoga
is constituted. [Editor disagrees
Jupiter is on the other half.)
2. Rahu's situation in 12th house, i.e.,
the house of loss, Moksha etc. Rahu
is Gemini, Mercury's sign, which is a
first rate malefic for Cancer Lagna.
3. Saturn, the lord of 7th house and
8th house is in 2nd house (sade
sati also).
4. Lagna and Rasi are subject to
Papakartari Yoga.
5. Mercury's Mahadasa operating at
the time of birth.
But a careful scrutiny of the horoscope
reveals the following antidotes:
(i) Moon is swakshelri in Lagna.
(ii) Jupiter is strong in its own house,
besides being the Lord of 9th
house (fortune). It aspects 2nd &
12th houses also.
(iii) Venus and Mercury are in a
KenHi-fl tn Lajina and Rasi. These

Saturn completes his revolution of
Zodiac in 30 years and Rahu and Kethu
each in 18 years. It is evident that Saturn
subjected the native to Sade-Sati thrice
and to Dhaya (2^ years Saturn) six times.
Rahu and Kethu assumed the same position
five times. It is, therefore, evident that
Panditji continued his battle of existence
against the planets also till he accompli-
shed the task assigned to him by God.
A question arises how Panditji escaped
death earlier despite the adverse positions
of planets at times. This is because survi-
val in a bad dasa would be possible if the
Gochara is good. Conversely, survival
would equally be possible in a bad
Gochara if the dasa is good.
As none of the planets individually could
cause death, so they united themselves in
such a wayin Krodhi year (wrathful year)
of whom Saturn (Dragon) is the king,
(Kalasarpa and worst Gochara) to inflict
 the fatal blow at a* time when the object
was in the worst dasa.
When he had accomplished his job of
setting up a stable democratic rule,
Chinese Dragon attacked him and his
country in October ,62, i.e., when Panditji
was running Rahu Dasa, Saturn Bhukti
(Dragon's), i.e., Adharma attacked
Dharraa. Ultimately by declaring a uni-
lateral cease fire, the dragon of Adharman
had to acknowledge its defeat directly or
indirectly. It was as though the coming
events were casting their shadows before-
Now the Time Dragon (Kalasarpa) has
attacked him. Planets below the horizon
at birth represent left side of the bodyj
they also indicate that the native will be-
come more conspicuous and enjoy life
better in the later part of his life. At the
time of birth as also of death, Rahu
(Dragon's head) was in Gemini, a sign
rufed both by Mercury and Rahu. Gemini
rules shoulders and Sagittarius rules
thighs. Gemini which is 12th house to
Cancer, i.e., Lagna and Rasi is ruled
raainlv by Mercury, which controls nerves,
('n 12-fO an eclipse took place in
Gemini. There was a Kaiasaroa at birth
at\d a similar Kalasarpa had also started
a>uiiu. The suspended Kalasarpn became
active aiter the eclipse and afflicted
the native with paralysis in the left side in
January, 1964. Of course, the Moon,
which completes a full revolution of the
Zodiac in 27 days, gets out of the sinister
clutches of the Kalasarpa for a fortnight.
Death takes place when the native runs
a dasa of Marakas, i.e., Dasa of any one
of the lords of 2ad house, 7th house or
12lh house or of planets occupying these
houses or when one runs a dasa of lords
of 6th house or 8th house or of planets
occupying these houses and at the same
time Gochara (transit) also goes against
the native.
At the time of death of Panditji, he was
running Rahu Dasa and Mercury Bhukli.
;.On the fatal date of 27-5-64, although the
Moon," the lord of Lagna and Rasi was
out of the Kalasarpa, yet it being in
Vrischika sign, a house of its debilitation
was too feeble to hold out the massive
attack of Kalasarpa. The Moon also
conjoined with the Maraka Sun of birth.
Rahu in 12th house, Kelhu in the 6th,
Saturn, the lord of 7lh and 8th houses in
the 8th house in Sathabisha star ruled by
Rahu were certainly bad indications.
Jupiter in the 10th house is also consi-
dered not good in Gochara. Nay, the
entire Gochara (transits) went against
Panditji.
Rahu and Mercury together brought
about this great tragedy. Rahu is transi-
ting Gemini (12th house, i.e., house of loss)
which is governed both by Rahu and
Mercury. Dasa operating was of Rahu
and Mercury as stated above. At the
time of Panditji's complaining of pain in
body on 27-5-64 (6.30 A.M. approx.), it
was a hora of Mercury. Day was Wednes-
day (Mercury da>). The moon was in
Jyestha star ruled by Mercury. The case
was declared hopeless at Rahu Kala.
At about 2.00 P.M. Panditji bade Jai Hind
to Bharat Mata and his brethren, when
Virgo was rising, which again is governed
by Mercury. Three planets were transi-
ting the 8th house counted from Virgo

too, wept bitterly on what they had done

emphasize that he had no equal in his love
for his countrymen and for humanity at

profound love for his motherland. We

ring his paternal and godly affection on us.

Now we have worked out the. Sayana
and Nirayana position of various cusps
and planetary position for the birth. This
position is to be inserted in the Rasikuntali

each pada consists 3 20', each star 13 20'
i.e., Total 360 divided by 108 padas. So
calculate from Aries 0 and find out in
which part a planet or cusp is. For
example here, the Ascendant or Lagna is at
24 s 46'which is in the 35th pada from
Aries. Tn Navamsa each sign is allotted

 IS YOUR HOROSCOPE POWERFUL ?
In the present day democratic world
there is no place for princes. We do not
seelcingsby birth enjoying all royalty and
royal. comforts. Acknowledged leaders
of the people are accepted as kings and
all the supreme powers to govern are
vested in them. Destiny of the country
has a direct bearing on the destiny of such
acknowledged leaders -in position. There
is a remarkable difference in their status,
dependent on the sacrifices they make for
public cause and prosperity of the
common man. As such, the positions
they hold are linked .with their personality
and sacrifice. Thus leaders occupy posi-
tions in the Government according to their
stature, but some of them, though equal in -tion
all respects, fail to rise to the heights and
yet they command affection and following
of the public. U is a known fact thai even
the greatest o\ leaders occupy ion posi-
tions for a lew years in their lite Put

held lor many yc<tia, muugli rare, are lie I
ruled out. Tt is also noticed that leaders
elected to high positions are not favoured
for a second terra and even among them
some are found to vacate in the mid-term.
Position is again conferred on a few
amongst such persons while the rest
remain to lead and guide- the public.
Variations of different magnitudes are
thus obvious and are the results of the
inherent and timely strength of planets, planets.-
as-revealed by their horoscopes. This
aspect can. never be denied by any, since
the .science of astrology had proved- statements
beyond any doubt to be the single source
to forestall events, good or bad. When
the predictions go wrong, people tend to
blame the science. Reasons for errors in
. predictions are varied and many which
* cannot be sorted' but iii' a single'article. 'w' ^Firs^decide (a) which of 'the tWo,* either--'
However, it is necessary to know at least jarana lagna or moon rasi is powerful;
. the basic factors that contribute to the (b) Lordship of the planet under considera-
strength of a horoscope. . From above, it
would be noticed that Rajayogas possess
.different levels and their effects have
* 35
different extents. To estimate such levels,
it is necessary to understand the strength
of planets, bhavas and horoscopes in
general.
Many text-books on astrology areavaila-
ble in the market and are in easy access to
any common man. They all speak of
planets, bhavas, being strong or weak, or
possessing minimum strength or no
strength, and planets being exalted, debili-
tated, occupying moolathrikonas, own
houses, friendly houses, inimical houses,
retrograde and asthangatham, etc., that go
to contribute to the strength of the horos-
cope. Planets that are declared to be
strong and favourable are not in a posi-
to confer all the best during the
entire period of their maha-dasas. Mixed
influences are noticed giving mixed results,
consequent on 'he relations h -u-, - ...

books that planets are either fncr.'.ii.
inimical, benetic or raalenc, temporarily
friendly or temporarily inimical. Another
feature of common occurrence is that
planets are beneficial to some inimical, to
others and neutral to the rest. Such con-
flicting statements confuse not only
readers but majority of the so-called
astrologers as well, unless they have a
clear picture of " who is who and what is
what" for various lagnas, bhavas and
Hence it is apparent that, before
any chart is taken up for consideration,
due weightage has to be given to all such

tion ; (c) Bhavas occupied by the planets ;
(d) Nature and relationship of the bhava
to the planet concerned ; (e) Relationship
 of the bhava occupied by the planet to
thekarakathva of the planet ; (f) Whether
the planet under consideration is posited
in dusthanas to its own houses, (g) His
relationship to the lord of current Dasa
and Anthara.; (h) His position iu relation
to the lords of dasa arid antara ; (j) The
constellation in which he is posited;
(k) His relation to the constellations in
which the dasa and antara lords are
placed ; (1) Thegochara relationship.
~r Having considered the above factors, the
extent to which the planet under considera-
tion is favourable can be easily deter-
mind.
What is planetary strength ?
Strength of the planet can be decided
according, to Sreepathy by estimating
. their, shatbala strength which is the
accepted method for correct judgment
and secondly by considering the general
-features of the horoscope. As per the
rules. Sun with 390, Moon with 360, Mars
;with 300 and Mercury with 420, Jupiter
with 320, Venus with 330 and Saturn with
,300 virupas are considered to possess the
minimum strength. In addition, they
should be strong under various heads
indicated as under:
Slhana Dig Chasia Kola A van a

& Mercury
Moon and 133 50 30 100 40

Mars and 96 30 40 67 20"
Saturn
Strength of the bhava and its lord are
inter-related and so the bhava strength has
to be viewed from the strength of its lord.
Planets thus strong are considered to be
capable of conferring their best results,
.while weak among them are not to the
mark. The second principle of determi-
ning the strength is based on the following

are strong in the 10th house, Saturn in the
7th, Moon and Venus in the 4Eh, Jupiter
and Mercury , in the lagna. (5) Males
among the planets are strong at the
commencement of the bhavas, female
planets in the middle, and hermaphrodites
at the end, (6) Planets that are retrograde

strong in the 9th bhava, Mercury in the

 MOLES : THEIR MEANING
ASTROLOGICALLY EXPLAINED
^ Ankle; People will have black moles
in their ankle if Rahu or Kethu or Sani
occupies the 11th Jiouse coubted from the riches, etc. Hence the mole in the ankle
Ascendant, as 11th house indicates ankle
'and Saturn as well as Rahu and Kethu are
the malefic planets causing moles-
As llth house opposes the 5th [as per
Western System] and opposition of evil
planets is inauspicious, they do not favour
the fertility of the native ; he is effeminate;
these planets are evil in this aspect. Hindus
say that Rahu or Kethu in 5 causes
Putlira dosha.. If either is in 11, the other
must be in 5- Saturn will prove to be
definitely evil if it is in 11, in the constel-
lation of Rahu or Kethu for the birth of
children. Cowardice in a man is indi-
cated by the mole in this area. If the
ascendant is aspected by Saturn, he will
not behold. But the partner in life will
be courageous, alert and active, as it is in
5 to the 7th house. When a person has
Sani and Rahu in II, it he takes his wife
and consuKs an astiologcr, the gentleman
will be gentle and keep silent as though he
is guilty, whereas his wife will put varieties
of questions and expect some remedial
measures to have a child, by praying to
God or putting on a costly gem or by
visiting any holy place.
As it is declared that planets in the llth
house, whether benefic or malefic by nature,
promise happy and harmonious wedded
life with satisfactory progress and pros-
perity, one can be sure of these results, if
he has a mole in the ankle. Moles alone
indicate and not the scars. The scars are
the evidences for the suffering of a person
in that particular part of the body: Nor
a tattoo mark therein will bring about
? these results.

presages the above desirable results.
Arm (Forearm): Third house occupied
b-y the malefics from the Ascendant indi-
cates mole in the arm, especially when it
is a movable o^common sign. The fixed
sign indicates that the mole will be in the
neck. Those who have moles in the arms
will be courteous. They are industrious.
They may have to face many difficulties
yet they will pursue and ultimately come
out victorious. In every enterprise, they
are cautious and successful. Third house
indicates inclination to learn everything.
So they are versatile and gain sound
knowledge to be competent enough to
attend to ' their various undertakings.
Third house indicates assistance from
others (Sahaya Sthana) to lead a happy
fife.
Mole in the arm indicates that a pciaon
will be a widower at forty. The follow-
ing is the chart which explains the truth :

shows the wife. Rahu is in 9 to the 7th
house, Leo-Simha. Sani is the lord , of 7
to Leo. Hence Rahu in 9 conjoined with
the lord of 7 caused sudden tragic end to
his wife. This is how, every rule is to be
applied.
For another example let us take " Adhi
Yoga". Adhi Yoga is caused when the
four benefics, Moon, Jupiter, Venus and
Mercury occupy in any manner"6th or 7th
or 8th house from the Lagna. Tf in one's
horoscope, you find them in 8, 9 aud 10th
houses, then your younger brother or
sister will have Adhi Yoga, as the 3rd
house indicates younger ones and houses
8, 9 and 10 are in 6, 7 and 8 counted from
the 3rd house. If the benefics are in 12,
1 and 2, your wife will have the Adhi
Yoga as these houses are 6, 7 and 8
counted from 7th house.]
 THE FOOD PROBLEM
AN ASTROLOGICAL EXPLANATION
The following chart is erected for the
moment at which one asked the editor
" Sir, when will the present food problem
be over ? "
The time of query is 8-30 P.M. I.S.T.
on Wednesday, 26th August, 1964.

Lagna indicates whether the query will
have a favourable answer or not The
Moon's position shows what the querist
desires to know, 11th house indicates
success. Houses 6 and 8 and 12 are the
obstacles and hindrances.
Lagna is Pisces [Meena], It is occupied
by Moon, lord of 5, which is in the cons-
tellation of 0Mercury (Revathi) in the sub
of Sun (21 -4raccording to Krishna-
murthy Paddhathi-Reference is to be
made to January issue). Moon in the
watery and fruitful sign, in friend's
quarters, portrays that the matter will be
solved by friends, friendly nations and by
Providence (since Pisces is governed by
Jupiter). Moon is in Mercury's star and
Sun's sub.' Where are these two planets?
They are in the 6th house and the 6th
sign counted from Lagna. What does
the 6th house indicate in Mundane
5
Astrology? Public Health: Labourers,
Unions, strikes, and food supply are the
matters signified by the 6th house.
Therefore the problem is any of the
above matters or many of them.
Actually the query is about the food
supply. No doubt, there are demonstra-
tions. By whom? Saturn aspects the 6th
house. Saturn is in Sathabisha star in
Aquarius, indicating i a group of people
including mostly labourers and low-paid
servants and some of them will gather
together and demonstrate. Further Saturn
indicates starvation. So, some may even
threaten with hunger-strike.
Whatever it is, will the problem be
solved? If so, when?
As mentioned earlier, the 1st and the
11th houses show whether this will be
solved. Actually,The lord of the Lagna
and the lord of the Rasi is the same
Jupiter.
Lagna is occupied by Moon, the lord of
5. It is auspicious. 11th house receives
aspect from lords of 1, 2, 9 and 10. They
arc the planets which cause Rajajoga.
Therefore the problem will be solved by
the Grace of God and by the person in
power, whose ruling planets are Moon,
Mars and Jupiter. The star of those
persons will be Rohini or Hastham or
Sravanam, born in Mars or Jupiter's sign
as lagna, mostly in the first three degrees
twenty minutes of Scorpio (in Visakam
4th pada in Vrischika, the Lagna should
fall) as this area alone is ruled by Mars
and Jupiter.
When will such a helping hand come to
the picture and from when would the
difficulty have commenced? The trouble
should have started from the time when
the significator of the scarcity of food-
stuffs, Saturn, entered into Sathabisha star
on 23-3-64. The intensity should have
 been felt when it commenced to retrograde,
i.e., around 15th June, 1964. The situa-
tion had worsened till 27-7-64, when
Saturn transited in Saturn's sub. This
position reveals that due to constriction
of labour, etc., movement of food-stuffs
would not be normal. As a corollary,
the stocks remain stored in godowns and
in -yards. Also, Saturn, in the 12th house
in Aquarius, denotes that food-grains
would be hoarded, actuated by profit
motives, because Saturn, lord of 12 in
12 in a fixed sign opposing Sun and Mer-
cury in the 6th house and squared by the
law-abiding planetJupiter, presages
sub-terranean activity. Jupiter is for
plenty and Mercury for free movement
and open market. When these two planets
are either opposed or squared, fair deal
cannot be expected. Also Jupiter being
squared by Saturn shows that bankers will
bring pressure on those who have borrowed
money and restrict the overdraft facility.
-As-Jupiterwasin-Sun's' constellation,"the
Government Bank, the Reserve Bank; will
bring the remedy to release the hoarded
stock by limiting the overdraft. The
helping hand comes when Jupiter entered
^enus .star^in Mars signBharani, i.e.,
in mc middle of June 1964. And when
Saturn enters into the Jupiter's sub bet-
ween 27-7-M and 21-8-64, rapid progress
will be made by the Government. Bene-
volent countries will offer assistance to
Itlde over,the. difficulty. But when Saturn
again transits in Rahu's sub, between
21-8-64 and 18-9-64, there will be demons-
trations,^debates and difficulties. Luckily,
Saturn-passes on to Mars starDhanishta
-after 18-9-64; - Even though Saturn is in " Rahu moves from Gemini to Taurus on
'its own sign, it will not be as strong as it
was in SathabishaDoes not Saturn get
debilitated in the sign owned by Mars?
Saturn in Mars sign and Mars star will be
ueak.. Further Dhanishta is ruled by Mars,
Rajayoga adhipathi. So, the situation
takes a turn for the better and the pros-
pects-of solving the difficulties become
brighter from 18-9-1964. Demonstrations," corn(Houses
etc., will end. Peace and prosperity are to
be expected. The 11th cusp falls between
Makara S" 39' to Kumbha 5 39'.
Saturn 'enters-?5 39'-in^tho first -week of - -'Therefore;-even thdugh''Saturn may

which assures success to the Government

and satisfaction to the public. Saturn
continues to be in Mars constellation till
15-12-64. Therefore, week after week,
there will be progress and there will be no
room for any grievance. The actual date
on which the statistics of the stock and
the satisfactory position of food-supply
will be disclosed, will be on 2-11-1964
when Satum. becomes direct. No more
evil is indicated.
Let us find out by another method, how.
far the above conclusions are astrologi-
cally correct and whether there is confir-
mation. According to the Modern.
Astrological Research Institute, Madras,
India is represented by 12 20' of Capri-
corn, though text books say that the entire
sign of Capricorn denotes India and a few
authors suggest Virgo.
Let us take I2020' of Capricorn. Saturn,
lord of the ascendant, is transiting in the
second house and is retrograde. It was in
its own sub. between 5-5-64 and 15-6-64.
It is said that Saturn is a Maraka to Capri-
corn-borns and it will be harmful while
transiting in an evil star. So Saturn, dur-
ing this period, brought an irrepairable
loss to India which is indicated by Makara,
[Death of beloved Jawarharlal Neliruji.J
Saturn was in Rahu's star. Rahu is in
Gciriiiii. It ts the Gt'ii house to Capricorn.
Sixth house represents food-sluffs, labour,
etc. Hence there will be trouble for food
and for labour. These we are now facing.
Now one may ask even next year i.e., 1965,
Saturn will be in Sathabisha star: so
will we suffer even in the next year?
The answer is 'No'. Because, luckily
7-12-1964. Therefore from 7-12-1964 it
will indicate the results of Taurus, the Sth
house to Capricorn.
It indicates birth control for a period of
11 years when Rahu is in Taurus which
will be advocated by 'Government and
adopted by many, as Saturn continues to
bein Aquarius, the second house to Capri-
2 and 5 are for progeny.
Saturn is an effeminate planet and it is
unproductive ; Rahu is abortive.)
again transit, the same position will con-
tinue after 15-12-64, there can be no food
 problem at all, as Rahu does not indicate
food-supply.
Id the 6th house Mars, and Venus are
posited. They are in rapt conjunction.
Hence Mars, as Lord of 11, indicating
friends and friendly nations, and Venus,
asLord of 10, denoting Government in the
6th house show that the Government are
fully aware of the situation and will make
all efforts to cater to the needs of the
people by receiving aid from friendly
nations.
The query was at 8-30 P.M. I.S.T, or
3 P.M. G.M.T. According, to the western
system at 6-56 P.M., G.M.T., i.e., 3 hrs
56 min. later, Mars conjpins Venus. A
per progression 1 day -1 year measure
Mars conjoining Venus will give the result
in ^ or 59 days; i.e., by 25-10-64, th
stock will be sufficient. Friends' help wil
be received. And India will'have its ow
crop yielding much more than normal.
Therefore, one can be sure that th
problem will get slowly solved fro
18-9-64. It will improve much by 2-11-6
and will be absolutely alright thereafter.
 CHARACTERISTICS TO BE-CORRECTED
By Kayeskay
Which is the greatest sin or handicap !
Fear and Inferiority complex:
Man is called "Purusha " because he'is
expected to have " Pbwrusham Courage
is governed entirely by Mars. So those
born under the Martian signs, Aries and
Scorpio, or having Mars in the ascendant
or in the meridian will be bold. Aries
people undertake quickly and finish it
rapidly and daringly whereas the Scorpio
people will consider the merits and de-
merits, realise the risk and finally with their
will-power fulfill their desire. Mars ill-
aspected makes one fool-hardy, arrogant,
aggressive and authoritative.
But fear or cowardice is due to the evil
disposition of Saturn and Moon. There
will be no ray from Mars. Also the mu-
taHe-signs do-not-give courage." Generally ' Rahu Kethu. Sani may be conjoined with
fear and inferiority complex are found in
persons born under .'poor circumstances.
Anxiety arises due to inadequacy. But
if one is born in a rich family or to the
parents.who are well placed in life, then
iheiperson-indulges in boasting and posing"
superiority. If at school, the boy who
has scored less marks, feeh similarly in
the presence of one who has scored high
marks. A girl with moderate beauty feels
3lelicateitoIbe.in-the.company, of-more
beautiful girls. This is borne out by
astrological considerations. Inferiority
complex is mainly due to the affliction
^jeCweeh^-Saturn-and Moon. Also if the
third-house ireceivos adverse aspect from
fMafs,- one=wiirhave no confidence. If
Moon isconjoined with Saturn,he or she is
;mbstly funky and they suffer from complex.
"^IPrith'uyasas says that majority of
planets causing Madhya Yoga give trouble
by sheer fear to the native (because it is
the 8th house to the third house indicating
courage)" (Adh 19,"Sloka 37). He adds
that Moon and Mercury should not occupy
1 or,6 or 8 or 12th house. (Adhyaya 13,
Sloka 11.)
In Phala Deepika it js.-mentioned that...
waning Moon in Lagna causes fear. 6th
house in a horoscope indicates the fear of
a person, probably because planets in 6
8
and 12 'will square the third house.
Mantreswara says that the chief governor
for fear-is Saturn. Lord of Lagna, occupy-
ing evil sign when badly placed, indicates
that during its period the person will suffer
from fear. Even though the Dasa lord
may be Mars, even then, if the sub period
is ruled by Saturn, it causes fear.
Planets occupying a sigh, where the
number of " BINDHUS " in Ashtakavarga
is less, causes fear. In Sanketanidhi it is
said that Rahu in Sayana Avastha and in
2 or 11 or 12 produces fear in one.
Another variety of fear may be termed as
" Beethi" and it may be found in a person
who has a malefic in his ascendant with
Gulika in 5 or 9 ; or Gulika may be con-
joined with Lord of Kendra or Kona or
Lord of Lagna.. The person will not trust
anybody. He cannot trust himself even.
He will be terribly afraid of- others as he
imagines that they may cheat him. So that
"Beethi" will always be found in him.
Better be cautious. But never suffer from
fear and Vanchana chora and Bccdhi yoga.
Use Ruby, or red stone or Coral.
Pray for SubramanyaAnjayneya
Narasimha or DurgaLalitha.
Never use " Blue'' colour.

rity complex.

sub periods of Moon in Karthikai, one
will realise the ingratitute of a friend. In-
gratitude is stronger than traitor's arms.
Moon, lord of 11 in-Rohini in its own
constellation, portrays many friends,
grand success, popularity, prosperity and
much progress. All-round success and
absolute happiness are presaged.
Moon, lord of 11 in 9 in Mrigasirisha,

colleagues and neighbours, known and
unknown will cause difficulties. He will
spend away all bis savings to get out of
the danger.
Moon, lord of 12, in 9 in Aswini,
threatens worry and danger in unknown
places through unknown sources. It is an
undesirable disposition.
But Moon in Bharani in 9 gives one
service in close-by quarters under a
stranger. It oilers name, fame, reputation
and satisfactory rcmmieration. He may
be the private secretary or camp clerk and
will visit foreign lands.

Mechanical Engineering. He will be
courageous and by his strong will, be

 MOON IN THE TENTH HOUSE
Moon is the fastest moving planet. Its
characteristic is often changeability and . adopted son, teaching and the intellect to
its influence is often unsettling. Unless
Moon receives good aspects from Saturn,
steadiness'of mind, same residence and
any one permanent profession is out of
question. One will be wavering and
vacillating. Like a rolling stone, he will
move from one avocation to another,
especially when'Moon occupies a movable
sign and its period operates.
MOon governs one's intellect, disposi-
tion and reaction to the various incidents
in one's life-

Moon further indicates the stomach of the
people and llic ui'eabis of uic ladies.
Reing a watery planet, it portrays ship-

Politically Moon refers to the mass of
people, the ladies and their societies,
marriages, navigation, river projects, dam
construction, bridges, swimming pool,
agriculture, horticulture, etc. Moon also
shows breweries, drinks, dance, music,

Bhattotpala says that one has to refer,
to the 10th house for kingdom, zeal of
authority, religious merit, rank, one'-s

InJatakapari Jata, Vaidyanatha Dikshita
says Vyapara (trade), Meshurana, Madhya
(median), Mana (prestige), Gnana
(wisdom), Rajaspadada (kingdom) and
Karma (duty, profession, work) are the
indications of the 10th house.
Ramadayalu in^anketanidhi discusses
the 10th house and mentions that it repre-
sents the two knees and the backbone of
a person. Also one's occupation, father,
family, happiness, ought to be ascertained
from this house.
In Satya Samhita, it is said that the
IDth house refers to one's worldly stand-
ing, rank and eminence as well as the
association with virtuous people.
The tenth house denotes the master,
promotion, appointment,-etc. it is to be
considered as the house of danger to
younger brother (being the 8th house to
the third), partner in business, to the
mother or the sickness of children or their
open enemies or debts, (as 10th house is
servant's children, wife's permanent posses-
sion or partner's conveyance, father's
self-acquisition and the loss to elder
brother.
In horary Astrology, lOth'nouse indi-
cates the property taken away by thieves,
secret enemies of friends 'and gain by long
journey or by higher studies or by science-
It also indicates the stewards of the race
club, their President, the aristocracy of
the owners of the horses and the trainers.
The tenth house, politically rules the.
eminent persons, the royalty, the nation's
honour and integrity, its credit, its status
when compared with other nations and the
political situation.
 Moon in the tenth house, if well aspect
ted by Jupiter, will ensure smooth life,
give popularity, political career, service
in overseas bank, foreign exchange depart-
ment, law department, religious institu-
tions, etc. .It inclines to public life. It

looked.
Moon in 10, receiving favourable aspect
from Mars, denotes that one may deal in
drinks, breweries, steamers, steam engines,
navy, police (in harbour), wet lands, cons-
truction of dampils or a trader in all
matters indicated by moon. One will not
be wavering, but will be ambitiousj brave
and resolute. Occasionally he may be rash.
Good aspect from Mercury indicates
that he may be an agent, representative,
journalist, engineer, auditor or a worker
in the Textile department. Bad aspect
threatens that he may have fear complex some gains, routine, monotous career etc.
and become more and more nervous.
Those who work in publicity, advertising,
mail service, reception office, or act as
interpreters will have the beneficial aspect
between Mercury and Moon.
Venus and Moon in harmonious aspect
gives service in petrol, petroleum products,
drinks, milk dairy farm, animal breeding,
music, perfumery, scented oils, art, exhi-
bition, drama, public function, catering

 VIMSHOTHARI DASA. AND ITS SUBDIVISION
In 1964 August issue,' it was explained
wBy the Zodiac of 360 is divided into 27
equal parts and each part is governed by
one of'the nine planets (Kethu, Venus,
Sun, Moon, Mars, Rahu, Jupiter, Saturn
and Mercury in the order) and how each
planet is allotted a particular period so
that all' the 9 planets in total rule 120
years which is considered to be the span
of human life.
Explanation was given to understand
why the 27 parts of the Zodiac is called
after. 27 different names called stars or
constellation or Nakshathras.
Also it was, illustrated how one is to
calculate' the balance of a dasa at the time
of birth taking the position of Moon at
birth.
Now let us take an example and work
out, not only the balance of a dasa at
birth, but also the order of the dasas to
follow, their periods and theirsub periods.
Moon,

Suppose one is born with Moon in 16
degrees in TaurusRishaba, i.e., 46 from
AriesMesha 0.
Mesha'0o to 13 20' is called Aswirii which
is governed by Kethu. 13 20' to 26 40'
is termed Bharani and is ruled by Venus.
The third zone is 26 40' to 40, ca
Karthikai and it is influenced byy.
Then 40 to 53 20' is governed by lid
and this zone is called RohimV So

ruled by Moon. It has been allotted
years, out of the 120 years of Vimshbtt
dasa, namely,
(Kethu dasa 7 years.
Venus dasa 20 years.
Sun dasa * 6 years.
Moon dasa ^10 years.
Mars dasa 7 years.
Rahu dasa 18 years.

Budha dasa 17 years.)
7 20' or 440' arc to be passed. It is
portion to be covered by Moon to copii
tely pass Rohini.
Each star extends, for 13o-20- or 8(
Therefore" 4 Rohini extends totally 8
and Moon, lord of Rohini, covers
years. It means that 800' of Rohini ==
 years of Mood dasa. If only 440' is left,
then the balance of Moon dasa at the
time of birth = 440 -f- 800 and the result
is to be multiplied by 10 years.
' i.e., .440
An x 10 years = 5 years 6 months.

In the Zodiac, 40 to 53 20' (Nirayana
system) is governed by Moon. It is called
Rohini. In the total period of 120 years,
. Moon_r.ules_only-for_10.years. Always
^.-the.dasa lord rules the first sub period;
"then "the other sub periods are ruled by
the remaining 8-planets in the cyclic order,
i.e.. Moon followed by Mars, Rahu, Guru,
fSanij-etc.'"^
Therefore in the 13 20' or 800', the
first 10/120 is governed by Moon : the next
7/120 by Mars: the third4 sab period is
ruled by Rahu, i.e., l8/ 20; Jupiter
governs 16/120 ; Saturn 19/120, Mercury
rl7/120 ;-Kethu-7/120; Sukra 20/120 and
^Sun-6/120. Therefore, referring to the
January 1964 issue, page 38,vyou will note:
oongoVebns--10 -Taurus to 23 20'
^Taurus-; in . that, Moon's sub period
^"e a lends - from- 10 00' 00" to 11 6' 40".
Mars 11 6'40" to 11 53'20" 5 : Rahu

, 20 26' 40". to 22 40' 00" and Sim
*'22 .40' 00" to 23 20' 00 *
-Therefore if the birth was in 6 Rohini,
it .means Moon was in 16 in Taurus.
Therefore Moon was transiting in the sub
of Saturn, in Rohini star ruled by Moon.

These 5 years 6 months are the balance
of Moon dasa at the time of birth.
For new students, a doubt may arise
whether the balance of 5 years 6 months of
Moon dasa is to be distributed to all the
9 planets or they may be anxious^to know
how it should be done :
Kethu, Sun
Mer, Venus 53 20'
sub will followlater, Kethu, Venus and
lastly Sun sub in Moon dasa.
The balance of 5 years 6 months should
not be divided to all the 9 planets. The
first sub is Moon dasa Saturn sub.
19
Saturn Bhukti will be x 10 years
or 19 months or 1 year 7 months.
But Moon was not in 15 40' where
Saturn sub starts. It was in 16. There-
fore even in Sat urn sub 0 20' has passed.
Only 1 46'40" is to he covered. So in
this proportion, the part that is to be
covered is worked out and for the portion
17 46' 40" minus 16 degrees or 1 46' 40,
the periot^^alculated.
Total area of Saturn sub = 2 6' 40".
Portion to be covered =1 46' 40".
. For 126' 40" the' period is 19 months
or 1 year 7 months- _
For 106' 40"Whafis the period?
Jt is x 19 y- y iQ '
or 16 months.
Therefore at the time of birth, 16 months
of Saturn-sub is to run. Then 17 months
of Mercury 7 months of Kethu and so
on. After the child completed 5 years
'6'months of Moon dasaj'Mars'dasa of-
full 7 years is to run, (followed by
 18 years of Rahu; 16 years of Guru, and
so on.
To calculate the sub sub period, caljed
Antharas.'
Suppose one runs Venus dasa Rahu
Bhukti and it is to be sub-divided.
Venus dasa' runs for 20 years.. The first
40 months are ruled by Dasa lord Venus,
the second sub is ruled by Sun for
12 months.; 20 months are governed by
Moon and 14 months are governed .by
Mars. Next follows the sub period of Ranu
in Venus dasa. Venus rules 20 years in
the total 120 years. Rahu rules for
ISyears in the total 120 years. Therefore
Venus dasa Rahu Bhukti. is. 20 x 18 yrs.
or 3 years.
To find out the sub sub period or
anthra in Rahti:sub period of-3 years.-- -
^ Imagine Rahu period is for .3 years and
the first sub sub is to be ruled by Rahu
{and not Venus dasa lord). Jupiter will

^ These'3 yeafsare to be divided in the
same proportion commencing from Rahu.

Similarly, in.the same proportion, as they
are allotted for Vimshothari dasa, the sub
'sub is to be distributed.
Again the sub sub can be sub divided in
the same proportion among the nine
planets which are called shookshmas.
Suppose one runs Venus dasa, Rahu
Bhukti, Jupiter anthara and he sub divides
Jupiter anthara. Venus dasa Rahu Bhukti
runs for 3 years. . Jupiter anthara comr
mences after Rahu anthara of 5 months 12
days are overJupiter anthara is to run for
4 months and 24 days or 144 days.
If the total period is 120J then Jupiter
has 16 out of 120; then Saturn has 19
out of 120, Budha (Mercury) has 17 out of
120 and so on.
Suppose in a public limited concern,
there are 9 shareholders and the share-
holder Jupiter has 16 shares, Saturn 19,
Mercury 17, Kethu 7, and so on. Suppose
144 is the profit. How will youdistribute it?
It is done, in the proportion in which each
holds the shares. -
Similarly the 144 days are distributed.
The proportion in which it is distributed
is constant. Therefore Jupiter's sookshma
is 144 y. I days or 19.2 days.
Saturn's sookshma is for 144 x i?n- 19
X days or 22-8 days.
Mertury's sookshma is for 144 x 17
days or 20.4 days, and so on.
For ready reference and to avoid mis-
takes, the table will be publis ed in the
next issue.
 TRANSIT-CORRECT METHOD OF PREDICTION
"Transit'1 otherwise called 14 Gochara
Palan '* by the HinBus is a sub-branch of
Katal astrology. An improvement in the
application of the general principles of
astrology handed .over to us by our
ancient sages and scholars is indicated
here.
According to the Western system, the
astrologers take the radical position of
the Sun at the time of birth, consider the
relative position of the planets transiting
the zodiac and give out their results.
Whereas in India, according to our Hindu
system, the position of the Moon at the
time of birth of the native (Nirayana
system) is .taken as the starting and
determining point to which the transiting
position of the planets are related and
according to the relative position, we read
the results and say whether the time is
auspicious or not. Both the methods are
incomplete and the percentage of failures
is therefore large. This is no doubt not
desirable.
(a) The Western System: Let us lake,
for example, two persons who are born in
different years but on the same date; say
10-8-1913 and 10-8-1916 respectively.
Suppose the person born on 10-8-1913
asks an astrologer whether he will come
out successful in the election. If the
astrologer were to predict that, at the time
of the election, the relative positions of
the planets transiting the Zodiac being
very favourable compared to the position
of the Sun at the time of the birth of the
native, success in the election was promised,
then the same opinion must be offered to
the other who is bora on 10-8-1916.
Suppose both of them stand for election
to the same seat in the same locality ; how
is it possible for both to win? Only one
can win while the other must lose. So we
should consider how far this method of
prediction will be of avail to the querist, v
Again suppose one was bom on 17th
May, 1926 and another on 17th May, 1940.
Both play at cards or one borrows moot
. from the other or one gives alms to U
other; While at cards one should gai
and the other should lose; while.lendn;
money, one should part with his mont
and the other should receive it', and thefet
the lender's financial position deterion
tes and the borrower's improvessimi
arly while giving alms one donates, an
the other receives. Now, you will no I
that all these people were borir on tk
same date but in different years and
position of the Sun in every case was in tk
same sign and in the same degree, Ou th
basis of the principles followed by Westtj
ners, i.e., according to the relative positiOi
of the transiting planets to that of the Sti
alone at the time of birth, diamctricall|
opposite results cannot be foretold. Ther
is no proper explanation when their rule
on Transits, taking Sun's position alQn,
are strictly adhered to. I
(b) The Hindu System: You will fin<
the above similarity in the Hindu methO'
also. Wc arc not able to explain wh,
quite opposite results arc enjoyed o
experienced by one and the same rasi
births, i.e., people bora when the Mod
was transiting a particular constellatidi]
For example, when the Moon was transi
ting Bharani star, i.e. Mesha Rasi, tw
people were born on different datesj eV
in different years. Now one born ii
Bharani star competes with the othe
Bharani native; one comes out victorioil
while the other gets defeated. Agaij
suppose a plaintiff in a law-suit is born i]
Bharani, the defendant is also born ii
Bharani and the Judge 'also happens tj
have been bom in Bharani. Now, lool
at the result. One of the two Bharan
star's natives gets the favourable judg
mcnt, the other is vanquished, and ttf
third Bharani star native delivers th
judgment.^ So to predict the Gochara o
transit^Tesults Taking only the star inij
consideration is also incomplete. That i
why the Rasipalans published in th'
 dailies, weeklies and' monthlies vary even
inthe essentialsso widely and so erratically
that they give scope to the public for
ridiculing this noble science. .Therefore, . married the next year. In sucb cases, ofle
there should be a fool-proof and accurate
method by which a correct prediction can
be offered. For doing this, a complete
chart is necessary and the relative position
of all. planets transiting is to be Judged
with the position of all planets in the
chart and especially the position of Lagna
etc.
The public may ask ; " Why then such
an incorrect one is handed down to us ?".
What is handed down to us not incorrect
but only incomplete. It appears that, if
one knows only his date of birth or only
his birth-star (Nakshatra) he too should,
to some extent, get a prediction that will
give him mental solace. Astrology
inc\u6es'also .psychotherapy: it .should be
able to give mental strength to the people ^ their birth dates arid birth stars which
jv bo.are .depressed so that<they can work
With enthusiasm, entertaining hopes of
'betteftimes to come ; even when suspense
is threatened, such people will not worry
any longer. They will wait with pleasure
if or'-better days. So astrologers offer
^reaictions'which may be true to a limited
extent, especially to a few.
Actually, if the position of each and
every planet in the chart of.a subject is
.taken into account, the predictions offered
"skould^not fail. -Accent per cent succes's
is Assured by taking the lagna and the
position, of various planets including,
ikanuS-^nd-Neptune, as well as that of
the most sensitive point, Fqrtunay at the
tixiie of the birth of the native and the
position -of the planets transiting in the
Zodiac along with the several aspects that
.are^faeing formed and then offering the
-results.
~-It will be observed that people born on
the ^ same date in different years with
different positions of the planets enjoy
different results. The readers will find
this for themselves that, when all planets
are taken into consideration and the
results so derived are used and the general ; through'v Makara, many Anusham
predictions arb adiWgly mo'difi&if 6nly*^" ' ^irls"^jt fnarried' evferi i!h'oUgft"1'it'llJuplter):4
correct results are obtained.
For example, two girls, born in Rohini
star, are taken of whom one gets married
in a particular year and the other gels
can find that, according to the position of
the lords of 2, 7 and 11th houses in each
horoscope and to the relative position of
the planets transiting in the Zodiac, the
planets promise marriage of the former iii
a particular year; whereias, for the lattcrj
they portray the wedding only in the
following year. Thus one wHl find that
even though both are born in the same,
star, the events occur on different dates.
This is due to the relative positions of the
relevant planets at the time of birth and
transiting in the Zodiac.
If it were possible for any one to collect
the charts of many couples wlio get
married on a particular date in a given
place, city or town, or at least note down
will reveal the positions of the Sun and
also of the Moon at birth, it will be found
that people born with the Sun in each of
the 12 rasis and with the Moon in any of
the 27 stars get married on that very same
date. You will also not find that only
Aswini star people' get married on that
particular day or only Bharani or any
other star. You will find actually that
people bom in all the 12 months of the
year and under all 27 stars get married.
Now let us see what the sages have
declared.V^piter, while transiting in 2 or
5 or 7 or 9 or llth house counted from
the Moon's sign, offers Gurubalam which
is good and in all other positions, in rela-
tion to the Moon, there is no Gurubalam
or Viyazhabalam or "Brishaspathi Balam".
If to a girl, Jupiter transits in the third
house, ordinary astrologers naturally will
predict that, because Jupiter is transiting
in 3, Gurubalam is not found and hence
marriage will not materialise. Unfortu-
nately, they will realise soon that their
prediction has miserably failed when,
fortunately for the girl, the marriage has
come off. In 1961, Jupiter entered
Makara. Only after Jupiter transited
star
was in the third rasi. When we follow
 the principles that Jupiter in 2, 5, 7, 9 and
11th houses alone can give fruitful results,
how can marriage take place when Jupiter
is in thethird house? Again in every
year, if you collect the charts of the
people born under the same star, you will
find that, in all years, a few of the people
born under the same star, e.g., Pushyam
(Poosam) star get married or enjoy life or
get "promotion dr otherwise realise their
ambitions. So when you compare the
, the position of the transiting planets with
the position of the Moon or Sun at the
time of the birth of the natives, you will
find that, in all positions ondiflferent dates,
wedding was celebrated to one or the other
born under the same star or born on the
.same date. Here also, you will conclude
thatthe science is incomplete. But when
you apply the method described herein,
you will understand that there is not even'
one per cent error but everything comes
out very accurately and correctly, which
will go to prove that astrology is really a
mysterious and wonderful science, given
only to the few who have the Divine
Grace. So you have to consider the posi-
tions of all the planets and Lagna at the
time of birth and assess them in relation
to the relative positions of all the planets
transiting in the Zodiac at any future
predicted dale.
It may he argued that the Hindu method
is better than the Western. The Hindus,
as stated already, take the relative posi-
tion of the Mdon, while the Westerners
take the position of the Sun as the basis of
computation. Probably the westerners
take into consideration the vitality,
health and the profession of the native,
as being all important and this triad is
governed by the Sun.
The Hindus take into consideration the
Moon's position because of the following
important reasons:
The Moon is called ' Mathi * or the
Mind. The' transiting planets may ^be
harmonious or inharmonious in their
aspects with the Moon and accordingly
one feels elated or upset. Our ancestors
. always, desired to have* peace'of mind-and,
tried to avoid upsets. So they cared
more for the steadiness of the mental
21
faculties so that they can medii
concentrate and pray to God,
Another reason is really the most aj
aling. If one takes'the pre-natal ep(
it will be seen that the Moon's positio
the time of the birth in the chart is exa
the ascendant (lagna) at the time of
epoch in 50% of the cages. So, at
time of the epoch, a particular part of
Zodiac rose in the East. After rou|
9 months when the Moon transits in
position, birth takes place. Simili
that particular part of the Zodiac wl
rose at the time of the birth called
ascendant or lagna was exactly the st
position of the Moon at the time of
epoch of the child. Thus, Hindu se
compare the relative position of the asc
dant (lagna) at the time of the epoch wli
is the Moon's position in the birth ch
As the child grows from the "time of
epoch, it would be really more appri1
riate and correct to take that into co
deration. This may convince everyone
Whatever be the reason, it is foij
that both the Western and the Hio
methods of prediction on the transit^
planets fail in many cases, whether tai
red either only to the Sun or only to"
Moon.

But he comes out merrily saying " Bel
.-luck next .time." Why.! He had a p3j
cular horse in mind, but at the time^
betted, he deliberately changed overj
another horse, a duke. This he did with
the fullest knowledge that he was taking
a chance! and he lost because his ascen-
dant was in evil aspect. But the Moon
was in a beneficial aspect and so he did
not mind the loss and vowed to win later.
Again where both the ascendant and the
Moon have evil aspects, the man's attempts
fail and he mopes. If both the ascendant
and the Moon's position are in good ,
aspect, he wins and feels elated. It is one
of the many fundamental points confirmed
on series of researches made, that, even
though the Moon^s position be the same,
if the ascendant were to be different, the
results will be variable and therefore we
have to take the ascendant primarily and
then only the Moon, the Sun and the other
planets, in order to know all the results
accurately.
One more example will confirm that the
'Gocharapalan' offered by taking the date
of birth, i.e., the Sun's position alone will
not be correct in all cases. Take the date
of birth and also the star of the students
who are all declared successful in any
given Public Examinationseveral thou-
sands sit for the same examination on a
particular date and their results are / publi-
shed all at the same time. It is no wonder
that people born on all dates having the Sun
in all the 12 rasis and born under all the 27
stars are found to have passed. If we
collect the charts of those who have failed,
it will be found that they were also born
oA all the days of the year and under all
the 27 stars. This particular aspect has
been the subject of detailed research by
the editor and his students.
We should also take into our main con-
sideration the position of Fortuna.
Fortuna is otherwise called Pars Fortuna-
This is the most sensitive and fortunate
Zodiacal point. Its distance from the
ascendant is as the Moon is from the Sun.
in longitude, i.e., if you add the longitude
of the Moon to that of the ascendant and
then deduct the longitude of the Sun, you
arrive at the longitude of Fortunait is
the position of Thithi added to Lagna.
Always the position of all the planets and
the Moon's node are readily obtained by
referring to the ephemeris; but the place
22
of the Fortuna is to be worked out from
the horoscope itself and it varies for every
moment because every fourth minute, the
next degree of the Zodiac rises in the east,
and thereby the longitude of the ascendant
is rapidly changing.
The Lagna moves very fast, about one
degree in every four minutes. The fastest
moving Planet is Moon; next comes the
Sun. Therefore, all the three rapidly
changing ones are taken for this calcula-
tion which confirms that the position of
Fortuna changes every moment and each
birth will have its position in different
longitudes even though it may be within
only a few minutes of each other. Unless
both are born at the same time in the
same latitude and longitude, the Fortuna
cannot be in the same position for those
births. Fortuna has no influence on cha-
racter but is said to benefit the sign in
which it is found to be.
For the transit results, in my personal
experience, Fortuna deserves serious atten-
tion and it indicates certain results which
are not shown by the aspects formed by the
transiting planets to those in the natal
chart. As long as we have found out that
the results enjoyed by people born within
a Tew minutes difference of each other
show diametrically opposite results, then"
one should try and find out what is it that
is so fast moving as to cause opposite
aspects and bring about such different
effects. All research scholars will surely
declare that the fast changing ascendant
and Fortuna cause different aspects and
produce, different results. If, therefore,
Fortuna is always included in all calcula-
tions and predictions offered, there can be
no great room for disappointment.
So far, I have shown by specific ins-
tances that predictions made by applying
'Gocharapalan* taking the transit of
planets and referring to the position of
only the Sun or only Moon of a native
at his birth are liable to serious gross errors.
I will now give instances to prove that
identical results are enjoyed by people
whose birth took place at the same minute
in the same Latitude and Longitude. I
place before the readers in a tangible and
a systematic form, my reasons. It is for
them to accept or reject. I am sure it will
be accepted.
My readers.will do well at this stage to
pause and ponder over the significant
truth I have placed before them.
The first instance relates to two persons
born at the same time and both got married
to career girls who were earning. They
had no children but both couples were very
fond of domestic pets, cats and dogs. The
two mates were lecturers showing identical
interests in politics, social welfare, philo-
sophy and religion. Minor events also in
their lives were strikingly similar, as for
example, both suffered from tooth-ache at
the same time and period and had their
infected teeth pulled out at the same time
and on the same day. The two male part-
ners were in no way related to each other
and they hailed from widely separated
places.
Another instance jsabouttwo.men, born
in the same village, who narrated their
experience after they had lived there for a
fairly long time. Their temperaments,
behaviour and character were identical.
Both had pleasing manners always with a
smile and were never rude to anyone. Both
were robust in health. Whenever one fell
ill, the other also ailed from the same disease
at the same time. Each of them got married
in the same period and begot the same num-
ber of children of the same sex. Both of
them lost a child in the same month, and
brought up the same number of children.
One wis a journalist and the other was a
writer of fiction. Mercury, Mars and Jupiter
were the signs who ruled over their profes-
sion. The culmination of this extraordinary
similarity was in the death of these two
natives on the same day.
Yet another instance relates to a report
that appeared in a foreign journal in 1820.
It mentioned that Samuel Hennings died
at the age of 82. He was bom on 4-6-1738
at a place situated in the same Latitude and
Longitude as King George III, who ascended
the throne in October 1760. Mr. Hennings
was then an independent businessman and
on the same day Mr. Hennings took Elsie
for his wife. Both had the same number
23
of children of similar sexes. Both were
long-lived and died at the same hour on
2-9-1820.
Instances can be multiplied of such
remarkable coincident happenings. The
principles governing such events, will be
explained in the book to follow.
It is recommended to judge the outstand-
ing events and episode dial would happen
to natives taking the position of the Lagna.
Only when it is not known, take the posi-
tion of Moon. (Something is better than
nothing.) If both are not known, take the
position of the Sun. If one has not got
his horoscope but knows only the date of
his birth or the birth star, an incomplete
prediction alone can be had.
Lagna, or Ascendant, i.e., first house,
indicates health, longevity, success or fai-
lure in one's attempts, etc.
To different births having different houses
as Lagna, lordship of Moon and Sun will
vary ; e.g., people born in Aries-Mesha-to
as Lagna, Moon is lord of 4 and Sun is
lord of S. If the transiting planets afflict
Moon, it shows thedifflcultiesto be faced
by mother and not by the person. But,
as Moon is the chief governor for the mind,
he will not be happy due to the troubles
to his mother. Similarly, if Sun, lord
of 5 (according to date of birth), is afflic-
ted by the transiting planets, the children
may suffer, whereas the native will not
have any adverse result. Take the follow-
ing chart:
Lagna Sun
Aries
Cancer
Leo
Virgo
 The person is borii in AriesMesha
lagna. Sun is in the second house. When
Sun transits in Aquarius, it forms favour-
able sextile aspect to Aries. But it squares
radical Sun. Lord of 5 transiting in U,
favours the person's lagna, but lord of 5
squares the fifth house lord. Therefore the .
native meets with success, whereas the
child suffers.
Always one should necessarily note of
which house Moon is the lord and which
house Sun governs. Good aspect to Ascen-
dant promises good health and success to
the person. If Moon, is the lord of any
particular house, one is to note down the
matters governed by that house. Good
aspect to Moon improves those matters.
Bad aspect to Moon does harm to the
matters indicated by that house. Similarly
one is to note down the aspect to the Sun.
Find out to which house Sun happens to
be the lord. As each housebhavasigni-
fies certain matters, consider which are
shown by the house which Sun owns,
counting from the Lagna. Good aspect to
Sun indicates improvement of those deno-
ted by Sun whereas bad aspects spoil
them.
Suppose one is born in Virgo (Kanni)
as Ascendant. 2 hours before another born
in Libra (Thulam).
Leo
Libra Virgo
As Sun owns Leo, to the person bom in
Virgo Ascendant, Sun islorti of 12 indicat-
ing either loss or separation or hospitali-
sation or life in a foreign place or away
from relatives and some changes.
^' But f:
'pefson^bSffi^W -""Bibra
ThulamSun is lord of 11 ; it promises
peace, pleasure, profit, progeny, prosperity,
25
permanent tie of friendship, partne
reunion, etc.
Therefore, for persons born oh the.sam
day due to the change in Lagna, the lord
ship of Sun changes. Therefore, it indi
cates diametrically opposite results.
If both refer to the dailies wherein th
prediction is offered foMhe date of birth I
they understand that the astrologer has
given the prediction taking into consideral
tion the position of Sun at birth an4 thd
position of the planets transiting. 'DoeJ
it not appeal even to a common .man thaf
good aspect and good result mentioned
will apply (a) to the person regarding th^
matters indicated by the 11thto Libra-j
born, (b) to the good health and success op
his elder brother11th house shows elder
brother.. The same good aspect to Sun
shows loss of investment, journey, separa
tion, etc. to a Virgo-born native.
So the Libra-born will have re-union an<
profit whereas the Virgo-bom loses anc

<{You wili also^be informed how to refer to
your horoscope.)
It is common knowledge that various
rpredictinns are routinely given in the
-monthly and weekly journals based on
* On^Karapa'l ^ n a rid afider tbat those who
are running beneficent dasa and favoura-
ble bhukti will have a good time,during
-ihejauspicious transit.. They add further
-that,iL the dasa 'bhukti' were to be
favourable, the adverse transit during a
'favourable' 4 dasa ' and ' Bhukti * will
appear .to be menacing, but actually it
will not happen. If the transit and the
dasa and bhukti are beneficial, then the
native will get his desire fulfilled and will
enjoy favourable results. If both the dasa
and bhukti are bad and the transit is also
adverse; the native wili faceuntol'd/miseries; ' house poffend evil to those indicated by ,
This is what you find mentioned in these
predictionsr
26
It is necessary to point out in th(s cott'
text that the dasas which are adopted by
astrologers are many. Among these * Udu
dasa*, 'Vimsodari Aslodari dasa'
* Kalachakra dasa' are generally applied.
Which of these is to be followed is not
stated by the predicting astrologers of to-
day; Vimsodari is perhaps what they go
by.
Let me pose to them the case of twins
who have got the same lagna and the
same position of planets, with more or less,
the same dasa and bhukti, but running
with a difference of 1 month and six days.
Both are in Rahu dasa, Guru bhukti at the
lime they tried for a job. One was appoin-
ted and the other rejected. In this case,
the dasa and'bhukti' and anthara will
be found to be more or less the same in
both. But the results of the efforts have
been diametrically opposite. A careful
approach and a critical study will soon
reveal the reasons for the same. What
appealed to me and convinced me was that
the Lagna and Fortuna and the relative
position of Lagna to the position of all
the planets as well as Fortuna to other
planets indicated how, in one, a few favou-
rable aspects were formed while, in the case
of the other twin, adverse aspects were
formed. Therefore, when success or failure
in onc^s all em [,1 ha* lo he aceouiilett Jor,
only the Ascendantthe lagnahas lo be
considered.
Ragarding a man's financial position
and success in competition, one has to take
the beneficial aspects to the lord of 7, 2,
j, .6, 10 and 11 as advantageous and al$o
the evil aspects to Lords of 4, 5t 7, <5, 9
and 12, as favourable to the native. Simi-
larly, the evil aspects to the Lords of
I, 2, 3, 6, 10 and 11 as well as the benefi-
cial aspects to Lords of 4, -5, 7, 8, 9 and
12 are"unfavourable to the native. This
relates only to the financial position.
But the favourable aspects of a planet
to the lord of any house improves the
results indicated by the aspected planet.
Similarly, evil aspects" to the lord of any'
that particular house of which the parti-
cular planet is the lord. Only for deter-
 mining the increase or decrease in one's
financial position, the houses 1, 2, 3, 6, 10
and 11 have to be considered as they make
the bank position more sound while the
other houses tend to reduce it. The expla-
nation is that the ascendant represents the
native while the 7th house represents
transaction with a creditor or debtor of
the native. Suppose the native borrows,
then the lagna indicates the person; the
7th house denotes the banker; the 2nd
house shows the financial position of the
borrower. Since borrowing is to be
ascertained from the 6th house and it is
done during the period of the lord of the
6th house or planets in the 6th house or
planets in the star of the occupants of the
6th house or planets conjoined with lord
of 6 or planets posited in the star owned
by lord of 6, they presage the time of
borrowing. By borrowing, it is meant that
the native gets money ; the 6th house rela-
tes to improvement in the finances of the
native. Similarly it can be shown that
houses 1,2, 3, 6, 10 and 11the lords of
these houses when being aspected favoura-
bly, increase tjje native's bank position
either by self-acquisition, by borrowing, by
service, by business or calling, profession
or assistance from friends and relatives.
The other houses indicate an increase in
finance to the opponent.
Suppose the Lord of the 8lli house is
favourably aspected. It means that the
2nd to the 7th house gains; this shows
improvement in the finances of the
opponent or the banker.
If the native competes with another,
then good aspect to lagna indicates success
in his efforts, whereas the good aspec
the 7th house denotes the oppone
gain.
If the lord of the 8th house du
transit forms a very favourable aspcoi t
radical position or if any other planet
beneficial aspect with the lord of the
it would appear to show that the pppo
gains and the native loses. Therefi
the general principle, that all favour
aspects must be beneficial to the native,
not hold good in some cases. The exa
given shows that the beneficial aspec
the lord of the 8th house will benefit
opponent of the native. But if, accor
to the general principle, one were to pre
that the native will gain, the predic
will fail, because it benefits only
opponent. So also, if each house is tal
and the results are recorded, then cv^
thing will fully agree with my st^teirf
that the lords of the houses 1, 2, S, 6,
and ]], when in favourable aspect, ben
the native financially, while the lords of
other houses receiving favourable aSpp
indicate either drain or loss, or mak
investments or lending to others or reti

 LIMITATION OF THE ASTROLOGER
{A part of the speech given by the Editor on%i 1-8-64 at Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan1f
New Delhi, while he gave a speech on the Necessity for Astrological course.*
Astrology is a Science. Yet, while
applying the principles, the astrologer
fails occasionally due to alternatives:
because all the matters in one's life are
indicated by only the twelve houses of the
Zodiac, and hence each house has to sig-
nify many matters. To correctly select a
few, in the many results shown by a
house, depends on one's sound know-
ledge, vast experience, proper application
of all the methods, deep consideration of
each matter shown by the house and the
Divine Grace which the astrologer and
the querist should both enjoy. An astro-
loger may predict marriage to a native on
a particular day. Actually the girl or boy
may suffer from any serious ailment and
even be in a coma stage. Why? .Is astro-
logy incapable of indicating such a danger-
ous attack ?
No. The first mistake of the astrologer
is that he does not take all' the poi nts
necessary to decide one's marriage. All
the three houses, 2, 7 and 11, the occu-
pants in those houses, their lords, etc. and
also Venus, might not have been consi-
dered. One 'may judge from the houses
2"and 7: the other from house 7 alone:
the third may omit to note which other
house the lord of 2, or 7 or 11 owns and
what other results they can offer by
owning another house also-
It is true that houses 2, 7 and 11 indi-
cate wedding; '
(a) house 2 shows "the increase in
the number of the members of
the family by marriage and then
by birth of children;
(b) house 7 signifieis the partner in life
,'C with whom an agreementis made; there was the suspicion that she might;
(c) house 11 indicates the pleasure
and the permanent tie of friend-
ship or partnership with another.
Also, it is true that houses, 2 and 7,
indicate death (Maraka sthana) as they are . (enjoyment).
the Vraya houses to the houses of longe-
vity 3 and 8.-
32
Normally, when a girl is of marriageable
age, the astrologer takes the conjoined
periods (Dasa, bhukti) of the planets
connected with the houses 2, 7 and 11 as
the time of marriage. But one does not
commonly note of which other house
these planets are also the rulers and what
else they can dowhether they are stronger
to give the effect of the other house they
own, than to give the effects of the houses
2, 7 or 11.
The following is the horoscope. of a
native who was actually on death bed on
the day when her wedding was predicted.

At the time of birth, the prospective bride..
was having Jupiter dasa, 14 years, 4
months and 24 days.
When the astrologer.tries to find out the
time of marriage, be takes Mercury, lord-
of 2 and 11, as one of the significators;
and Saturn, lord of 7, as the other planet
contributing to the marriage. So one de-.
cides that Saturn dasa, Mercury sub-period-
must give marriage. Actually, during^
that period, the girl suffered from Pleu-,'
risy. She was in the bed for some months
due to complication, and on a later date'
suffer from T.B. She got married only in.
Venus sub-period, as it is the chief gover-'
nor for marriage and occupies the 12th ^
house indicating ''SUKHA SAYANA".!,
The reason for her confinement to bed, f
instead of enjoying in bed, was that
 Saturn, lord of 7, was the lord of the 6th
house also. It owns the maraka sign,
that is the seventh house, which'is also
the house for wedding. Sixth house indi-
cates disease. So instead of marriage,
she fell seriously ill during the period of
the lord of 6 and 7.
Such a serious mistake was committed
h by the Editor while offering prediction to
his own youngest brother, Sri K. S. Gopala-
swami. The native was born on 15-10-1916
at 6-12 P. M. in a village Kuthur next to
Tanjore town. The chart is as follows:

He was working in Bombay as an assis-
tant to a successful and brilliant share-
broker. He found my brother to be very
honest, sincere and true. When my
brother's business was not as good as it
was, he was offered a manager's post in a
Tea Estate on a big salary in February
1964. When he consulted me, I wrote to
him;
11
As you are running Saturn dasa,
Mercury sub-periodfrom24-10'1962>
I expect you to leave Bombay once
for all as your life in Bombay
comes to an end on 28-6-64, when
Sun by transit will be passing the
sub of Mercury, in Rahu's star in
Mercury's sign GeminL I do not
expect any change before 28-6-64.
I will go over there at that time.'*
9 - 33
My reasoning is that his Moon" sign is
stronger than his ascendant. Because the
ascendant is occupied by the lord of 12
and the lord of the ascendant, Mars is in
8 to Lagna ; whereas the lord of the Moon
sign is in a kendra to Moon, So his horo-
scope should be judged taking Moon sign
as the first house and Gemini as the second,
Cancer as the third and so on. If his
ascendant were to be strong, his name
would be Subramabia, etc. But his^name
Gopalaswami itself suggests that Venus
(Cow-Gow) and Moon-(liquid, milk) are
strong. Lord Krishna was also called
Gopala as his star was Rohini, Moon's
star in Venus sign, Taurus.
Then, what can one predict during
Saturn dasa, Mercury bhukli, Rahu
anthara?
Saturn is lord of 10. Mercury is lord of
2: Rahu in an earthy sign is in 9, aspected
by Saturn and in trine with Mercury.
Hence, change of surroundings and environ--
ments, change of Institution, change of
place, long journey, etc. are normally
expected.
Even if one lakes Aries as ascendant,
then Saturn is lord of 10, Mercury is lord
of 6 (for service) and Rahu is in the 10th
house. Now also one has to predict impro-
vement and change in one's career.
According to Krishnamurti Paddhathi,
let us fix the date. As he runs Mercury
bhukti, Rahu anthara, find whether Rahu's
star is in Mercury's sign. . Gemini is ruled
by Mercury. Rahu's stars are Amdra,
Swati and Sathabisha. Arudra is in
Gemini. It extends from 6 40' in Gemini
to 20 in Gemini.
Then according to the Paddhathi, Mer-
cury sub in Rahu's star is between 12tf 33'
and 14 26'. So when Sun transits in bet-
ween 12 33' and 14 26' in Gemini, the
life in Bombay should end. Change must
come. But, on 28-6-64, when Sun was in
13 15', he passed away suddenly.
Till 27-6-64, he was hale and healthy,
attending his office. On Saturday after-
noon, the moment Sun came to 12 33'
he became unconscious, after having had a
pleasant conversation with his friends and
relatives. He called the car driver after
dressing himself up." Few minutes passed.

will be able to find . out the truth. As
each house indicates many matters ^and
each planet also signifies many matters,
there will be alternatives. In the above
instance, the alternatives are;
(a) change of place; change of
institution, etc. or,
(b) end of life.,
To eliminate one, and to confirm the other,
the horoscope of his wife ought to have
been scrutinised to find out whether she
will lose her husband and consider the
horoscope of his children, whether they
will lose their father or all will change
the residence. After a thorough study,
one will clearly state that the native born
on 15101916 has to pass away.
Post-mortem makes one a Post-graduate. MAY HIS SOUL REST IN PEACE.
 IS LAGNA STRONG OR
As soon as the lecture in Bharatiya
Vidya Bhavan was over on 1-8-64, one of
the students asked the editor to explain
how the Ascendant Aries (Mesba) of the
native, bom on 15-10-1916, can be consi-
dered as weak, when its lord Mars occupies
its own sign, Scorpio, and is strong. Fur-
ther, the benefic Jupiter occupies the
ascendant. The editor replied:
" It is absolutely necessary to note
whether the Ascendant is strong, or afflic-
ted and is weak. Then judge the strength
of the Moon sign. Before one commences
to pass any judgment^ this must be deter-
mined.
The houses 6, 8 and 12, counted from
-L-agna- andalso -from- Moonare- called
Dus -Sthanas. Planets, owning those
fibiiscs, whether benefic or malefic by
nature, become evil. Planets occupy-
ing these houses (6 8 or 12) also
^.Ose.the strength to offer such favourable
"results which they can bestow due to their
lordship of certain beneficial houses in the
horoscope. Also those planets owning the
houses, 6, 8 and 12, occupying any other
house, weaken the houses occupied by
"them These^bhavas sufferyannihilation
even though by nature they are benefics.
Mantreswara in Paladecpika, Chapter
-XV. Sloka V, has mentioned : 'When a
Bfiava has its lord in the 6th, the 8th or
[theT2jh;house, or if a Bhava is occupied
"by the lord of any of the three houses, it
suffers annihilation, say those who are
froficicnt in Astrology.'1 (Subramanya
aSiti!s translation, page 183.) He adds
in Sloka III in Panchadasa Adhyaya.:
Ofjhe Lagna and other Bhavas cxamined
in succession, whichever bhava has its lord
occupying Ihe 8th place devoid of'aspects
from benefics, the result is the total des-
truction of such a bhava.'
Aries is owned by Mars. It was in 8 to
Ai'lvt^iTv Scc-fvio pin sthc .c^r t X5f tlx-
born on 15-10-16. Therefore, to offer the
results indicated by Aries, Mars is weak.
It cannot contribute for the improvement

MOON SIGN STRONG ?
of the first house matters as it cannot
aspect the Ascendant. The lord of a house
should occupy the same house or be posi-
ted in houses other than 6, 8, or ^coun-
ted from that house or aspect the hoiise
which it owns to strengthen the house.
Suppose one is born in Scorpio, and if
Mars is in 6, in Aries, as Mars has the 8th"
house aspect and it can aspect Scorpio by
that aspect, Mars will improve the matters
of Scorpio by its aspect, even though it
occupies the 6th house, counted from
Scorpio.

"In this case, the lagna will he strengthened
by Mars.
Again, it is said that a house gets spoil-
ed if the 4th and 8th houses are occupied
by malefics. In the horoscope of the native
bom on 15-10-16, malefics, Saturn and
Kethu, are found in 4 and Mars is found
in 8.

Further, Jupiter is a benefic by nature. He
is lord of 9 and so he is a baghyadhipathi
 to Arics-borns. But he is also the lord of
12. As lord of 12 in the Ascendant^ he
will weaken the Ascendant" though
Jupiter improves 9th house matters.
Thereafter, the student said: 'Is it not
a fact that Mars as lord of the 8th house
to Aries lagna (Mesha) is not evil ? How
can it be evil if it is in its own quarters?'
The Editor replied: "Probably, you
refer to the principles, given in Jataka
Chandrika. It ia said tha.t if a planet
owns both the ascendant and the 8th house,
the planet does not lose the beneficial
strength of the ascendant. It means that
the lord of lagna will not affect one's
longevity as the 8th house indicates one's
Span of life. It is also declared in Jataka
Chandrika, that the Luminaries, Sun and
Moon, owning each only one house, cannot
become evil, by owning the 8th house
counted from Capricorn (Makara) and also
from Sagittarius (Dhanus) respectively.
This applies only"for longevity. For other
matters, they are definitely evil.
The true interpretation is that, unless
Sun and Moon are further influenced by
Bhadhakasthana Adhipathi and Maraka-
sthana Adhipathi, they will not cause any
danger to the lives of the natives born in
Capricorn or Sagittarius in their periods.
So also for lliosc burn in Aries (Mars as
lord of 8); in Libra (Venus as lord of 8);
they cannot affect one's longevity simply
because they own the 8th house. But one
should remember that they will prove to
be harmful if they are connected with
Marakasthana Adhipathi, or Bhadhaka
Sthana Adhipathi, or if they occupy their
constellations.
Coming back to our point. Mars is not
strong to give the results of Aries, when it
occupies Scorpio. But it can/give the
results of Scorpio to a good extent It is,
no doubt,.strong in Scorpio to.give the 8th
house results to Aries-born; but it is'
definitely weak for lagna 4results.
It is said by sages : If the lord of a
bhava (lagna, 2nd or 3rd house and so on)
occupies 6th or 8ih or 12th house, counted
from that Bhava, the effect will be reverse..
-If-the olare tsie-vyea Jct j, tfi-si e? ji 1 Jf, v
be very harmful; but if it is strong,
adverse results will be slight *
37
In Sanketanidhi, Ramadayalu says th
the lords of Kendras and Konasi thou
capable of causing very favourable effec
will not prove to be good when eithsr
the two is placed in the 12th house count
from the other. Jupiter, the lord of t
kona (the ninth house) is in 12 to Moo
the lord of the kendra fthe 4th house),, a
hence Jupiter cannot prove to be goo;
Jupiter is never genuinely good to a
" when it owns the 9ih house, as it wijl r
either 6 and 9, or 9 and 12th huoses, O
to Scorpio-borns and Aquarius-bor
Jupiter does not own either a kendra
a dushsthana.
To Aries, it is the lord of 9 and 12;
To Taurus, it is the lord of 8 and 11 ;
To Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pis
borns, it is a kendrathipathi and is con
dered to be evil".
To Cancer, it is the lord of 6 and 9;
To Leo, it is the lord of 5 and 8;
To Libra, it is the lord of 3 and 6; anc
To Capricorn, it is the ruler of 3 and
(Only in Utharakalamritha, Jiipitet
considered to be a benefic- when it o
the houses 3 and 12.)
Thus it can be seen that Jupiter
nature is benefic. But to a majorfly i
the people, it becomes a malefic by owne

Health: The position of the ascen-
dant, the situation of rthe Lord of the
Ascendant, the planets occupying the
Ascendant, those which are in the
constellation of the occupants, the planets
in the constellation of the lord of Lagna,
those who are conjoined with, or aspect-
ing them, indicate the health of a native.
They contribute to one*s health.
But the planets in the 6lh Bhava
(House), those in the constellation and
sub of the occupants, the lord of the 6th
house, planets in the constellation and sub
of the lord of the 6th Bhava, those who
are in any manner connected with them,
portend disease and upset one's health.
The 8lh house,' its occupants, its lord
and those in the constellation of the occu-
pants of the 8th house and its lord, indi-
ca.'e end of life ; tiisreforo to mc it
indicate the disaase from which one will
suffer during their periods and recover.
The 8th house threatens danger and mostly
the end, unless it is connected with the
llthiiouse and its lord.
The 19th house indicatesisolation,
hospitalisation, etc., and also why one is
confined to bed. It also indicates impri-
sonment to Moksha.^ The 12th house to
any Bhava, spoils matters signified by the
particular Bhava.'Suppose Cancer-Karkata
indiratps one's education^ then the 12th
to Caiicer, that is Gemini-Mithuna shows
the.end of the scholasticicareer. Similarly,
when the 12th house indicates hospitalisa-
tion, the 12th to the I2lh, i.e., the llth
house shows the discharge from the
hospital.
^PlanetsTh 6 and^^nS in hlbuses 6 jnid'S'
to any house are detrimental to a Bhava.
When the 6th house to Lagna is adverse
to one's health, then the 6th house to the
4
6th, i.e., the llth house is to put an end
to the disease, and Lagna which is the 8th
house to the 6th must offer health by
effecting the cure. Therefore, houses 1 and
11 are always for the maintenance of good *
health, whereas 6, 8 and 12 are evil houses
affecting one's health. (So also for litiga- .
tion, loss, debts, danger, disharmony, dis-
pute, difficulty, etc.)

erected for the birth at 4-50 a.m. on 23rd
June, 1921, in Uthrashada Nakshathra
with'Sun dasa Balance 1' year 5 months
and 3 days, the native was complaining of
pain in his leg, between the calf muscle
and the foot. _First, it was considered to
be filariasis. Night blood was repeatedly
tested. There was _no confirmation.
Months "passed. PaTn continued. Then
another expert was conStrlted;"-Treatment
for rheumatism was suggested and it was
found to be of no use. Another expert
was approached. He said that the native

this experiment and luckily it-proved to be
successful. Pains vanished' and he was
happy for some months. Again, the same
 mplainl had relapsed. ' X* ray revealed
at the holes were closed. Present advice
to remove a bit of the bone, so that, for
' few years, calcium will not be deposited
jpidly and cover this portion again.
The above is the case.
' In March 1959, when pie native was
unning Jupiter Dasa, Jupiter Bhukti, Venus
thara and Rahu Sookshma, he started
ponsulling doctors. His treatment for
ilaria was found to be not correct and
Helpful. In 1960 when he was running
Jupiter dasa", Saturn Bhukti, treatment for
rheumatism was given. Couple of years
passed. He entered into Me'rcury sub
^period. Mercury gave correct intuition
and diagnosis. He was operated on
11-2-64 on a Tuesday and the bone in one
leg was drilled. Again on 18-2-64, the
bone in the other leg was drilled. He had
relief from the beginning of March till
May 1964. Again slowly the trouble
started.
In February, 1964, he was running
Jupiter Dasa, Mercury Bhukti, Rahu
Anthara. From 6-3-64 he had Jupiter
Anthara. In that again the sub of Venus
and Rahu came in May 1964 when pains
slowly increased. Now it is for us to
judge dispassionately and arrive at the
correct conclusion.
I. Moon at the time of birth was in
Uthrashada, ruled by Sun whose dasa
period is the minimum of the periods
assigned to all the planets, being only for
six years. Even if the birth lime may be "
15 minutes erratic (Birth time given is
correct. But for argument sake, even if
it is 15. minutes either way) the dasa
balance at the time of birth can err by
i x L/24 x "6 x 12J of a month, i.e.',
only 3 weeks and not more. Hence the
dasa and bhukti cannot change.
II. Health can be affected by houses 6,"
8.and 12. This is the general rule which
is expounded by the Hindu Sages and
Western Scholars. If we apply this rule,
how can we predict such loathsome, fear-
ful aod'chronic.ailment, especially-.affect-
ing,the bones and .proper treatment during
Budha(Mercury)sub period. If one is
to advance the argument that Jupiter is to
5
cause disease as lord of 8, it should be
during Jupiter dasa, Venus Bhukti. Will
not Saturn, the Rajayoga adhipathi, ward
off the evil of Jupiter, lord of 8? When
Jupiter is in Leo, normally one has to
predict that the heart will be affected or
Jupiter in the 4th sign and 3rd Bhava will
affect the lungs. Actually, the bones in the
legs are affected.
If it can be argued that the lord of the
6ih house, its occupation, etc., indicate
the part of the body to be affected and the
nature of disease, one can say that the leg
may be affected.. Venus can cause eczema
but how can it affect the bone. According
to Krishnamurti Paddhathi,
(1) The lord of 6 indicates disease.
(2) It is in Aries 12th house (leg) ruled
by Mars (to be treated by Surgeon in its
own (Venus) star Bharani and in the sub
of Saturn. The lord of the sign and house
occupied by a planet indicates the part of
the body affected; lord of the star shows
health or disease; income or expenses ;
savings or borrowings"; victory or defeat,
etc. The lord of the sub indicates the sys-
tem which will be affected.
(a) Venus, the lord of 6, is in the 12lh
house:
The 12Ui house indicates the le^; ::u
lordship of the 6ih house sbov.s disease.
(b) It was in its own star Bharani-
Venus as lord of I shows health and as
lord of 6 denotes ill-health. So the ailment,
that he will suffer from, will be due to
both Karma and one's own action; (not
observing hygiene, reluctance about health,
etc. It is applicable to Taurus and
Scorpio). So this native will suffer from
such diseases the cause of which cannot be
easily diagnosed and that.which will baffle
the medical attendants.
(c) The sub-lord is Saturn. Venus was
in 22 57'. Refer to January 1964 Maga-
zine where the table is given for ready
reference. 21 53'20" to 24 00'00" is
ruled by Saturn in the star of Venus.
(d)"'Saturn indicates bony ' (ossfc'&ls):

rays the common disease from, which the
person will suffer. Where is Venus 7 Which
planets modify its results. Venus is in
Aries owned by Mars. It is in Bharani
governed by Venus. The sub is ruled by
SaturnSo Mars and Saturn modify and
indicate what Venus can do.
Venus can cause such effect, not only in
its period, but also in the periods of the
planets which' are under the sway of
Venus, i.e., those planets which occupy
the star Of Venus or the sub of Venus. So
note down the planets which have such
connection with Venus.
Jupiter is in Venus star, Rahu sub.
Saturn is in Venus Star, Kethu sub.
Mercury is in Jupiter's star, Venus
sub.
Therefore, Mercury is in the constella-
tion of the lord of 8 and sub of the lord of

is to cause disease, increase debt, separat

Alas ! His health had failed and the

 CHARACTERISTICS TO BE CORRECTED : (iii)
By
Kayeskay
Which Is the best day to act ? ** Today " I
.Never put off till tomorrow what you
can do to-d^iy. A time that is lost is
ever again gained. Do not be lazy and
,lethargic. As is said in the old Testament,
Go to the ant, thou sluggard: Consider
*her ways, and be wise."
Astrologically the following disposition
of planets indicate sloth and inaction :
!. Fixed signs show slow and steady
action. But Cardinal or movable signs
indicate immediate action whereas mutable
signs denote activity.
If a majority of planets are in fixed signs,
one will not be quick in action. If there
is no beneficial aspect from the planets in
movable and mulablc signs and if there is
adverse aspect fium malcfics either to the
ascendanl or to the lord of the ascendant,
one will be lazy. If Moon is so posited
and it receives unfavourable aspect from
evil planets, one will have very slow
grasp and will be idle. Even though Venus
is said to be a benefic, if it occupies its
own fixed sign,' Taurus, and receives
adverse aspects, it will make the person
easy going and idle, He will always miss
the opportunities.
2. Mars, the most alert and active
planet will not form good aspect to Lagna
in the horoscope of idle people. So also,
Mercury whicji may be called as a busy
planet and Uranus, signifying mental and
physical activity, will not throw harmoni-
ous aspect to the ascendant or lord of the
ascendant or moon.
3. . Saturn, the thamasic planet, afflic-
ting the lumi^^ariesfro^n the,fixed sign or
the ascendant, and the dasanathamake one
lazy during their periods.

7. Mahadeva in Jataka TatWa_ says.
that people, who have Jupiter and 5aturn -,
conjoined, will be lazy. In the horoscope:
taken as an illustrative one for:
Krishnamurti Paddhathi, you will find
that the person was born in a fixed sign as
the ascendantTaurus; Jupiter and Saturn
are conjoined. They are also in a fixed
sign. Both the planets square the ascen-,
dant. So one will normally say that this
native will be lazy. Actually he is a. very
busy person 'in spite of his ill-health.
Why?
Here the Stellar astrology will correctly^
offer pjediction.
Jupiter and Saturn were in Vcnu.
star Toorvapalguni and Venus was in
the movable signAries, owned by the
active Mars and in its own constel-
lation. It is a spec led (according to Hindu^
method) by Jupiter and according to'
western system, trine aspect from Jupiter
and Saturn.
But if Jupiter and Saturn are conjoined
together especially in a" fixed sign and if
they are in the constellation of a planet
occupying a fixed sign and the stellar lord
is in no way connected with Mars or
Mercury or Uranus, Mahadeva's statement
will come true. Experience says that not
only he will be lazy, he will preach his
own philosophy (as Jupiter arid Saturn are
philosophical planets) and quote what John
Burroughs has said
" Serene! fold my bftnds and wait,
Not care for wind or tide nor sea;
I rave no more * gainst lime and fate,
For lo I My own shall come to me."
 Mahadeva adds *' If the lord of the
ascendant be weak or associated with
Saturn or if either the Lagna or the lord
of the Lagna receives aspects from Malefics,
the native will be either without energy or
be inactive or lazy.
Prithuyasas in Horasara says what- as
Varabamihira has mentioned in Brihat
Jataka : " A person having Moon -in . the
6th house will be lazy". Varabamihira
is of opinion that Moon in Makara also
produces lazy people. Prithiyasas adds
that Ihe person born in Dhanur Navamsa
will be lethargic. Also one born in Vasi
yoga, having planets in 12 to Sun, will be
indolent and weary. Similarly, people born
in Sakata yoga having Moon in 6, 8 or 12
to Jupiter, will be idle.
_ Podumanai Chomadiri in Jataka-desa-
raarga has said that people born in Vasi
yoga and Gola yoga will be idle at all
times...... _ :
^-Vaidyanatha Dikshitha in Jataka
Parijata says that people born in the hora
belonging to Moon will be lazy. It means
half_the,.population will be lazy and the
"othef.half.active. It is not so. If the Lagna train had left and will wait on the plat-
'ism Moon Hora," Saturn from fixed sign
squares and the aclivc planets do not
favourably aspect the ascendant ir. Mcon
hora, then alone one will be idle.
^Venkatesa in SaryartbacJiintamani
confirms T that ^Saturn symbolising
'LThamasa guna" will cause laziness in
one, if it either occupies Lagna or
also, when we consider the^horoscopes .of ' leads on to fortune."
people ^having Saturn in Lagna, we find
that this is not true in many cases, especi-
ally when (a) Saturn is in the constellation
oLan.active.planet or a planet in movable

or mutable sign, or (b) when the ascendant
receives aspect from Mars, Mercury or
Uranus.
Kalidasa in Uthra Kalamritha has said
" The planets, Saturn and Moon, as well
the 8th house are to be considered to
find out whether one is lazy or not

marriage. The interval between the two
child births will be a minimum. If Mars
receives adverse aspect from slow-moving
planets, or lords of 2, 7 or 11, separation
and even divorce is threatened.
Moon in Libra gives the native a little
above average height and a lovable
personality with attractive eyes and nose.
He will be Yond of pleasant society of
young people. He will be happy id their
midst. He will have good nature, a warm
heartandan agreeable temperament. He

He will change his dress often. He will

He will be good in music, painting, etc.
He wili gain liuuuuh dealing In uiilk,

Thus, the planet occupying the sign
Libra, modifies the native's build of body,
his characteristics, disposition, profession,
ailment, etc.

emotions in check. He has to resist temp-

out of hand. He should not appoint the

Much of his,time will be wasted. Librans
will mix business and pleasure. This need,

They should avoid copying mannerisms
from others as also gaudiness.
As.Librans are unassuming and amiable,
others may try to fool (hem they should
deal with such associates carefully. Librans
are always ready to forgive and forget.
They may forgive but it is not wise to
forget.
Librans will feel that every new occasion
demands a new dress, and so they will
spend much on costumes. They do not
realise that God has given them charm and
that adornment is not required in their
case.
Health : Normally, their physical struc-
ture is good. But they dp not have nor-
mal immunity and resistance against
infectious diseases. So they are susceptible
for such ones. They have to take prophy-
lactic measures.
Kidneys, loins and spines are indicated
by Libra. Therefore one can expect
defect in the kidneys, pain in the spines,
etc. In the case of ladies, Urus may be
alteciod. Whenever the r la net 5 indieuMug

Jupiter is lord of 6 to those born in Libra
and it will affect the native's health. Hence
during the periods of the planets, Sun and
Jupiter, and those in the constellation of
Sun and Jupiter, it is advisable to adopt
precautionary measures. In the case of a
few Librans, their liver and intestines will
be affected.

Romance and marriage; Libransyare
.the most lovable people for sex-jife.
By their sincere love, they capture, their
'partners. Besides, their dress, fashion,
pleasant perfumery, and sweat smile tare
very enticing, Librans' passion grows
suddenly dies out quickly as it is a . mova-
ble sign. But, at the time the Libran enjoys,
he. enjoys immensely in the company
of llie opposite sex. Being a pleasant

As houses 2,7 and 11 indicate the
.partner in life and the houses 2 and 7 are
ruled by Mars and 11 by Sun, the partner
in life will be short-tempered and .rash.
They may listen to the iLibrans but do
just as they "desire. They will be mostly
of Martian type. Hence Obra-boms
have to tone down their fiery nature and
by their diplomacy and tact, maintain
peace at home.
Those who are born in Gemini, and
Aquarius will match the Librans very
.well. Pisces, Capricorn and Cancer will
not agree with them. Librans will manage
with others.
Children: Shrte the fifth bouse is ruled
by the planet, Saturn, normally the Libra-
borns will have limited nutnberjof children.
As Saturn is a dutiful planet, the children
of Libra-borns will help them in their old
age. Librans, by their charm and
pleasing manners, can see that the children
curry out their instructions with pleasure.

[Generally people born in Libra do not
have such younger brothers who are as
useful, reliable and true to Librans, as
Librans are to them. As lord of 3 is also
lord of 6, the younger brother and neigh-
bour will be inimical.]
There will be * misunderstanding with
cousins, colleagues and others. But this
day is auspicious to apply for overdraft
facility etc.
Fridays offer mixed results.
Lucky Oalour: Orange, white and red,"
green and yellow should be avoided.
Orange colour gives easy gain without any
pain. Pearls and oranges are favourable
for speculative profit. Do not use blue
when you speculate. Blue will assist your
opponent as Capricorn and Aquarius are
the ICth and llth houses to the opponent
indicated by Aries.
Red colour is good for marriage and.
competition.
Yellow threatens misunderstanding "and
dispute. Green shows only withdrawal of
money and deterioration of bank position.
Lucky number: 1, SO, llJ, 255. 37, etc.
4, 13, 22, 31, 40, etc.
2, 11,20,29, 38, 47, etc.

i
Numbers is for loss: 6 also threatens
success to opponent: 8 indicates invest-
ment and profit to one with whom Librans
transact. 3 brings in enmity. 9 may
lead to litigation. But finally it promises
success.
Lucky stone: Ruby and Pearls.
Some are of opinion that Venus being
the lord of the ascendant; Friday, Number
6 and diamond are lucky. But the editor
differs as Venus rules the 8th house also
(although in Jataka Chandrika it is said
that Venus does not become a malefic
fiy'dWnfhgfIbe^Sthh^se-): Experience has
shown that this rule applies only to
longevity and not for any other aspect in
oae's life. So Venus as lord of 8 will
thhw obstacles: one may have any danger
due to the lordship of the 8t'h house. But
as lord of the ascendant, it saves. But
Venus does not give smooth success.
Objects indicated by" Libra: Libra
indicates the prices of cotton and textiles,
silks, and fabrics like rayons, linen,
nylon \ and also the prices of wheat,
jute, canes and grains. Finished goods and
foodstuffs are indicated by Virgo.
Places: Libra denotes sawpits, ground
nCar windmills, outhouses, inner chamber,
sides of hills, places having a pure, clear,
sharp air, mountain tops, etc.
Towns: Antwerp, Nottinghafh Leeds,
Frankfort, Lisbon, Vienna, Charles Town,
Petrograd, Copenhagen, Spirics, Pl^yenya

Countries: Northern Provinces of
India, Burma, lodo China, China, Argen-
tine Republic parts of Tibet, Upper Egypt,
Libya, Uzbek, Savoy, Austria, Bactrianna
and Livonia and also the parts near the
Caspian Sea. -
Whom to pray : Goddess Gowri, Lali-
tha, Suryanarayana, Venkatachalapathi,
Ayyappa-, Sastha.
As lord of 5 is Saturn, the native will
have initiation more than once. He will
find many obstacles, etc. But the above
mentioned Goddess and Lord will bestoea
on him peace and prosperity.
 MOON IN THE ELEVENTH HOUSE
Moon is a wavering planet. It is un-
steady, Does it give the same appearance
on any two consecutive days? Either it
waxes or it wanes.
Moon and Mercury are in a way similar.
They have no basic nature of their own.
They will reflect the qualities of the houses"
they occupy and also those of the planets
with which.they are conjoined.
Moon gives an easy-going life. It pro-
mises social success and that is why it is
easy for the native to have the' friendship
of others and to get along with them
smoothly.
Moon is an yielding planet. It is not a
bold and courageous one. It cannot assert.
But it gives fertile imagination. As it is
feminine, the native will be timid, recep-
tive and convertible.
Moon presides over the masses.. It indi-
cates journvys. Commerce and foreign
affairs arc Indicated by Moon.
I llh house signifies pleasure, profit,
permanent lie of friendship, partnership,
progeny, prosperity, progress in one's
attempts, peace after fulfilling one's desire,
realisation of ambition, social and finan-
cial success, etc,
Kalidoss in Uthara Kalamritha mentions
that the following matters are determined
from the 11th house.
"Profit in every undertaking, undesi-
rable desire, all varieties of income, one's
influence, elder brother, father's younger
brother, 'devotion to God, respect to
elders, gain of knowledge, possession of
costly metals, ornaments, etc..highlevel of
intelligence, father's property, the patella,
the wealth of the employer, loss of interest
on one's principal, presentation of costly
ornaments to the partner, advice of others,
brother.ih-law, 1 tickea sy' ga i tref'W o I h e r's
longevity, left ear, attractive painting,
arts, etc.
17
Varahamihira calls the 11th hoise as
' Aya' and names it as "Bhava". He
calls the 1 Ith house as one of the foUT i
Upachaya houses* i.e., 3, 6, 10 and 1 11, ;
" Aya " means ' income '. Yavanas do
not agree with .Varahamihira as regards
Upachaya. The editor confirms dhe truth
in the classification and findings of Varaha-
mihira. Further, the 11th house i3 also-
mentioned as a Panaphara house ; Houses
2, 5, 8 and 11 arc Panapharas which" are
weaker than Kendhras. Houses 1, 4, 7
and 10 which are stronger than houses 3, 6,
7, 9 and 12 are called Apoklipa houses.
Hence the 11 th house is a little weak
house, but it fulfils one's desires.
Probably, that is why, Ravana tried to
have all planets in the I llh house when
Indrajlth was about to be born.
Mahadeva in Jataka Tatwa calls the 1 Ith
house as 'Labha '. Gain by good or bad
means is ascertained from the 11th house.
Mahadeva takes the 1 Ith house to find out
the type of "chicles also.
Ramadayulu in Sank cilia n id hi .says that
the following are judged by considering the
11th house : The right foot, the left hand,
one's knowledge, income, wealth, good
actions, vehicles, horses, elephants,
chariots, furniture, ornaments, clothing,
beauty, decoration, etc.
In Jataka Chandcika, it is mentioned
that the lllh house is the Bhadhakaslhana
to the native born in chara- rasi, j.e^
movable sign. It means that one's health
will fail or one's length of life will give cause
for anxiety during the period of the planet
in the 11 th house orof that which owns the
11th house. Hence, for people born in
Mesha-Aries ; Karkata-Cancer ; Thulam-
Libra; and Makara-Capricom, the 1.1 th
houses therefrom are Bhadhaka Stbanas
or evil houses. .Itr\vj|l prove to be evil
only for health and longevity ; for other
matters, it is.auspicious.
 Bhattotpala in Prasnagnana says that
elephant, horse, conveyance, food, cloth-
ing, jewels, girls, wisdom and wealth arc
indicated by the 11th house.
In horary astrology,' the 11th house is
considered to find out " one's friends,
hopes, flatterers, advisers, etc.'*
The 11th houser being the 9th from the
3rd house, indicates younger brother's
highcrstudies, long journey, etc. Being the
8'th from the 4th house, one may fear danger
to mother from the 11th house. 'As it is
the 7th house when counted from the 5th,
it shows daughter-in-law and son-in-law.
Being the 6th house from the 6th house,
victory over enemies is indicated. One
may have an*open enemy, who will have
himself another powerful enemy. There-
fore at a time when a person A is afraid
of his enemy B's evil actions, the enemy's
enemy C will take such steps that B, the
"native's enemy has to divert his attention
on THS Impending dangersd himself from
-thereby B will be unable to do harm
to A and thus A gains.
r Suppose A stands for election. A knows
that B is.a strong opponent and so B will
rdo-ahtwpropaganda. But B's enemy C
takes an action against B. so that B has to
protect himself from C and will then be
unable fo do harm to A.
The lllh house also shows birth of
[children and the. speculative mind of the
partner.
The 11th house indicates the short
journey of father and his younger sister or
Dfotner.
i^The- native's - elder brother is also
denoted by the 11th house.
Politically, 11th house indicates the
parties;; 'Congress . Parliament, Houses of
K'ep rese nta t i ves, Legislative Assemblies,
StateJ -Legislatures, Corporation, - Muni-
cipal Councils, International friendships,
exchange of amenities among nations-
Governments policies, proposals and plan,
ning.
. In races, the 11th house denotes the
committee . ,pC. managemciit... updet the
control of stewards. It shows the number
of the winner.
18
In market forecasting, one has tp con- !
sider the 11th house for Government
Loans, Electric Companies, Gas, Museum,
Agriculture, Estate Irrigation, silk, etc.
Moon receiving good aspect from Sun,
or Moon occupying the sign or star or
sub of Sun gives longstanding friendship
with Government officials and enough
opportunities tp improve one's status and
become more popular. Everything will be
pre-arranged for him. Health will be good.
Success in business and in daily transactions
and happy domestic life are promised
though the native may deny his own wants
and comforts. One may save much and
gain steadily through Government.
Mars forming good aspect with Moon in
11 or Moon in Mars sign or star or sub, and
in llth house gives robust health. He will
enjoy a good constitution with enough
immunity against infectious diseases".
Physically, one will be always alert and
active. Mentally, he will be bold and
courageous. Financially, .he will have
success in business or in any occupation.
He will gain authority, power and
influence. He will not lose by theft,
robbery, or cheating. Hc will have good

Moon receiving favourable aspect from
Mercury or in any manner connected with
Mercury (by conjunction or occupying
Mercury's signs, Gemini or Virgo^ or. in
Mercury's stars, Ashlesha or Jyeshta, or
Revathi) indicates that he will have friends
in the textile, engineering, publicity, embas-
sy departments, etc. One may gain by
being a Liaison officer. He may mingle
with learned scholars. He will be a good
salesman. Both in business and in service,
he will have satisfactory advancement. It
is not unlikely that he will ever try and
make his easy gains through crossword
puzzles and will gain when both Moon
and Mercury jointly operate. A colleague

Cancer in the 11th house. Due to the good
aspect between Moon and Mercury, he
was never over-anxious.
Moon~ in II also shows that he will
easily get through any examination. He
will have good relationship with his elder
sister or brother. He Will undertake
travels and will be successful in his
attempts.
Moon in 11, receiving good aspect from
Jupiter or in any manner connected with
Jupiter, offers good health to the native.
He will appear always cheerful with opti-
mistic nature. His ideas will be magna-
nimous, his imagination fertile, his dis-
position hopeful and he will gain much by
lawful and ligitimate ways. The person
will have friendship with judges, advocates,
bankers and religious people, and will be
good-natured-and law-abiding. He will
acquire wealth by his efforts. Moon does
not portray much of inheritance; rather,
self-acquisition will.be much more than
inheritance. He will be famous. He
can - realise his ambition. He will not

success is presaged.
Moon in 11, receiving good aspect from
Saturn, or in any manner connected with
Saturn, indicates that he will be steady. He
will take all precautions: will.be careful
and cautious, will be faithful and reliable;
sincere and honest; he will be pains-taking
and will be gaining money in business.
He will plod, persevere and patiently
work. He will have unexpected sudden
and substantial gains of legacy through
old people, He will have good returns
from permanent possessions. Gain of
wealth through mine products, coal and
lead, is also indicated. Success in Geology
and mines, and service in kerosene or
petrol departments or through good
friends in those concerns is indicated.
One defect in this aspect is that the person
will never come out successful in his first
attempt: nothing is pre-arranged for him.
He has to make subsequent attempts and
ultimately, he will be crowned with success.
If Saturn is very strong in the chart, then
he will be another Robert Bruce.
Moon in 11, receiving good aspects
from Uranus, promises sudden and sub-
ship suddenly. Cvciy good result to them
will be attributed (o luck. For without
any effort, the native will realise bis
ligent. He will be a successful poli-
tician or a master in astrology. He will

Moon in 11, receiving harmonious
aspects from Neptune, makes one a great

He will have taste for the fine arts. He
may have contacts with the heads of
religious mutts. He may gain through
those who are spiritualistic. Wholesale
business and big projects will be organised
cessful. Overseas journeys will prove
to be fruitful. Help through foreigners
 is indicated. There will be no accident
while travelling by boat or ship.
Moon, as lord of the Ascendant in 11,
|will do much good as it will be either in
the constellation of Sun, lord of 2 or of
Moon, lord of the ascendant or in that of
Mars who owns the most beneficial
houses, Kona and Kendhra, 5 and 10. . ispeoples
Hence, people born with Moon in
exaltation in Taurus, or in 11 to their
Lagna, will surely have very brilliant
results during its periods and sub-
periods. But, the llth house, being the
6th to the 6lh house, indicates maternal
uncle. Moon will prove to be harmful to
those who are born in Karkata Lagna and
with Moon in Rohini, as Moon happens
to own the 8th house from the 6th to Karr
Kata and is in 6 -to Dhanus. In other
aspects, Moon is favourable. Moon in 11,
within 10 degrees in Taurus in Karthikai
star indicates afflux of wealth, birth of
children, gain through Government
servants, and through medical people,
and good friendship with them as also with
estate owners, rich landlords, etc. Moon
in Rohini in 11, indicates tendency to
stoutness, cold, sore throat, infection in
the throat, defect in vision, grand success in
enterprises, as also chosen Triends" perma.
ncnt tie of friendship, and gain through
them. An easy going life, a smooth find
successful career, a highly accommodative
partner and lucky children arc also indi-
cated. The native will have fertile imagi-
nation and a good taste for music. He
will be fond of changing dress often and
using fragment scents. He is a good . of
conversationalist full of subtle humour.
Moon in the first half of Mrigasiras in
Taurus, being in 11 to Cancer, promises
grand success in all his efforts. There
will be sudden gains and good lift in his
career. He will have "Siddhi" in
Mantras. He will enjoy benefits due to
correct intuition and prompt action. In
the'speculative business, in a short period
of Mars, the person will earn much more
than ^what he can during other periods
of his life time. He will have good friend-
ship with estate owners, police, military! ment with them, will be benefited by for-
and uefeMcertdepartmental^fctaffhand also . rr- eign. collaboration,and-will.take in stra-
with big industrialists. He will take up
politics and will be popular.
21
Moon, as lord of 2, will be in Jl for
Gemini people. If Moon is in Kethu, he
will not have confidence in friends. He
will not trust any one. 'He may be fool-
hardy. Moon in Bharani shows that he
will spend much on pleasurable pursuits,
speculation, etc. This position of Moon
highly suitable for Gemini Lagna
to do researchto ascertain whether
one gains during Moon period or loses in
speculation. Normally, if one takes only
the rasis (Solar mansion as Aries, Taurus,
etc.), one will say that lord of 2 is in .11
and one must gain during Moon's periods
and sub-periods. But if one follows stellar
astrology, he will say that as lord of 2 is
in the constellation of lord of 12, he has
to incur loss ; further, as lord of 12 is also
lord of 5, he will lose through speculation,
betting, races, etc. Also he will spend
much on children. Moon in Bharani
gives one opportunities, to be always in
the midst of the other sex.
Moon in Karthikai star makes one a
medical representative. He may be an
agent of a medical concern, or he may
represent any industry manufacturing
drugs. Sun, lord of Karthikai star,
shows, as lord of 3, that he will act as an
agent or a representative of any industry,
factory etc., as the .sign Aries is ruled by
Mars. Moon, as lord of 2, being in Kar-
thika, will give the native service in the
Navy as Moon indicates water, Sun stands
for Governmentlord of the star; and <1
Aries sign ruled by Mars stands for the
Defence Department. Further, Sun is lord 1
3 and this indicates up and down
journey.
Moon, as lord of 3 in 1 1, in the first
3 20' in Pisces, shows success after facing
many obstacles; ultimate gain; large profit
in crosswords and income through wife.
Moon in Uthirabathra pada star shows
that he will be having frequent tours, long
journeys, desire to go overseas for higher
studies. He will come out successful in 1
his subsequent attempts, will have contact
with foreigners, will enter into an agree-
ngers as partners, etc. A few, while making
short journeys, will make intimate friend-
 ships with one, who is an absolutestranger,
especially, when Mars and Venus aspect

Revathi, as lord of 3 in 11, promises
fortune. The native will be intelligent,
clever, tactful, and diplomatic. He will

salesman or liaison officer
Moon; asiord of 4 in II in Dhanishta
star, gives gains through landed property
or buildings and a mother who is lucky.
But Moon'in Sathabhisha is just' the oppo-
site. The native will live in a rented hoiise ; would have been born on a Monday., ruled
mother will be ill and conveyance will be
a problem. Moon in Poorva pathra pada,' by
gives high education, double degree,
Doctorate, etc. Also it shows long jour-
ney, life in a foreign place, assistance from
learned men'and gain by pUbli&atibris7"ctc.

Similarly, one is to judge for other
houses, considering the lord. of the cons-
tellation in which Moon was in the 11 th
Bhava (House).
Let us now take the various matters
signified- by the 11th house and what
Moon presides over masses: So one is
to predict that when Moon owns the third
house or when Moon is in the constellation*
of lord'of 3, he will be serving in Mass
communication.
llth house shows partner. If Moon is in
11, if the"native does business, he will in-
clude as a partner in business, one who

Sravanam star or in Cancer ascendant.
llth house'indicates elder brother. If
Moon is in 11,'during the periods of Mood
and of the planets in the constellations of
Rohini, Hastha- and Sravana it will indi-
cate the health and longevity of the elder
brother.
Left ear is determined from llth house
when Moon is in 11. If it is afflicted by
any planet, during the conjoined periods,
there will be some ailment in the left car.
For example. Moon in Rishaba Lagna, in
Pisces in Uthirabathra pada star shows that
one may have trouble in the left ear where
there will be pus formation, llth house
shows left ear; Moon is for liquid; Saturn .
indicates pasturation; so pus will form in
Thus thorough analysis is necessary.
One has to follow Stellar astrology and
for more precise prediction, one has to
adopt Krishnamurthi Paddhathi.
 HOUSE TO DWELL IN
By K. Ganapathy
13, Brahmin Stievt. Saidapat. Madras-15.
The fourth Bhava (house) in a horoscope
signifies, the permanent possessions, viz.,
land, building or vehicle, the mother as
well as one^s education.
Let me first give the various rules given
by our sages dealing with the subject
" Houses".
Mahadeva in Jataka Tatwa says that a
person will feside in many houses if the
4th house is a movable sign ; or if its lord
occupies ji movable sign or the Karaka
Mars is in a movable sign. It means that
during the periods and sub periods, of
the planet in 4 which is a movable sign,
one will change his residence; if the 4tli
sign is fixed, but its lord is in a movable
sign, the person will change his quarters;
or during the period of Mars, one has to
change his dwelling, if Mars were to
occupy a movable sign : In Sarvartha
Chintamani, Venkat.csa says thafmovable
signs indicate houses in many localities.
" If the 4th house, its lord or Mars were
to be in a (ixed sign, the person will live
permanemly in the same house." The 4th
house may be a fixed sign. So planets in.
4th Bhava and in fixed signs, will not allow
one to change his quarters. If the lord of
the 4tli house, which may even be movable,
occupies a fixed sign daring his period, the
native cannot shift. If Mars occupies a
fixed sign, the native will remain in the
same-house during its period.
44
If the lord of the 4th house is in a
bcncfic Amsa, he will live permanently in
one building (Chap. Ill, SI. 98 to 100).
He says "Find out who owns the first,
second and 4th houses : Note how many
of them occupy either Kcndhra or Komr.
(Kendhra means I, 4, 7, 10:Kona means
1, 5, 9.) Depending on the number of
planets,predict, \he pumber of
good houses resided in and tone resided
in by the person ".
23
In Jataka Parijata it is said that the.
acquisition of houses is to be determined
from the 4th Bhava.
He says : "If the fiery planets, Sun or
Mars, occupy the 4th Bbava and be in
depression or in enemy^s camp, the person
will not own a house. "
" If the lord of the 4th Bhava is in the
12th house, the native will live in other's
houses in a foreign place." " If the lord of
the 4th house is in 8", the author says,
" there will be no dwelling house owned or
tenanted by the native." " If the lord of
the 4th house be in the 6th house, he will
lodge in a house owned by uncle, cousin,
etc.".
He adds "If the lord of the 4th house is
in a Dus-Sthana (i.e., 6, 8 or 12) or if an
evil planet occupies the 4th house, then
the house owned by him will be haunted".
" The lords of 3, 4 and 12 in 3, 6, 8 or
12 indicate the number of houses to be
lost by the native ".
He encourages by say in?, thai one will
be lucky to own as many strong houses in
good condition as the number of beneficial
planets in the Trikonas and Kendhras.
Mahadeva is of opinion that the lord of
the 4th house, in combination with the
lords of 6 and 8, causes the destruction or
loss of the house.
Varahamira in Brihat Jataka says that
people, born with Moon in Cancer or-in-
Virgo, will own houses. It does riot mean
that all those born in Cancer Rasi will
build houses and those born with Moon in
Virgo will own them. Here one is to note
whether Moon was in a favourable sub and
constellation. Also one should note the
lordship of Moon. Otherwise, inf many,
cases, it will not come true. But those
born with'^oonVtih^Gemini or Virgcu
Libra or Scorpio, Pisces or Aries, own good
'Houses. It* Moon is also strong and bene-
ficial, it will give a house to the person
during its period.
Kali doss also has said in Ulhrakalamrita,
that beneficial Moon and Jupiter will bless
qne with a house.
Prithuyasas mentions that a person will
acquire a dwelling house during the dasa
of a planet, if the dasa commences on the
day when Moon transits in Jupiter's sign.
One lives in others' houses during the
period of Mercury, if it would have been
debilitated at the time of birth. Also-he
says that persons, born in Meena Navamsa,
live in other's houses. He is of strong
opinion that people born in Karthikai
Nakshathra will own many houses.
One can have a strong house, if a bene-
fic occupies the third house and the lord of
' 4 is also strong.
_ The house-will-have a compound wall if'
.there is a benefic in the 3rd house and
when the lords of 1 and 4 are both strong-
Thus, various authors have mentioned
.about the dwelling houses.
^But-fdrpractical application, the subject
will be clearly dealt with, for the heiteHt
of the renders.
(I) -Itb Bliava signifies mother,
vehicle, education and building.
- -Marg-ic the planet which governs "
' " buildings. Moon the mother,
Venus the vehicle and Mars as
. " well as Moon thejand.
JTherefore .planets connected with the-
; 4th house and Mars will indicate house;
4th house and Venus indicate conveyance;
.4th house and Moon govern mother; 4th
house and Mercury indicate education.
So the planet occupying the 4th house
-or the planet in the-constellation of the
occupant, having connection with Mars,
'the lord of the fourth, house, if connected
with Mars, and planets in' the con-
stellation of the 4th house connected
with Mars indicate buildings. If these
planets are not connected with .Mars, ' but..,
are connected with VaKu'l,'T6iie'will have
vehicles. If they have connection with
Moon, the results refer to mother. If
24
Mercury has connection, it indicates edu-
cation.
[By connection with Mars, it is meant "
that a planet may -
(a) occupy the sign owned by Mars, 1
or
(b) occupy the star ruled by it, or , ^
(c) the sub (according, to Krishna- i
murti Paddhathi) governed by '
Mars, whatever be the sign and i
the star].
Theftfore, if one judges about onels
house to dwell in, one has to consider the
planets connected with the 4th house and
also Mars.
(1) The planets occupying the 4th
house (whatever be the sign) and
are either in Mars star or Mars
sub,
(2) planets in the constellation of
such occupants,
(3) lord of the 4th house in the con-
stellation or sub of Mars,
(4) Planets in the constellation of
such lords,
(5) and the favourable situation of
Mars to the 4tii house.
Acquisition of a house may be by
inheritance, legacy or by purchasing a
plot and constructing on it or straight-
away purchasing one.
Hence, if the 4th house receives good
aspect from the lord of 10, the native gets
a building by inheritance. Here, he does
not withdraw money from Bank or
borrow, and then, buy or build.
But if the 4th house has connection with
the lords of 1 and 12, the native will invest
the money he has, and convert liquid cash
to a solid permanent possession. The
second house indicates bank position, one's
movable property, liquid cash, etc. The
first house indicates that he makes efforts.
Twelfth house shows .that he spends and
invests.
.But, if .the4yh, housp, Iia .sqnnection,.
with the lords of 1, 6 and 12, one will
bonow and invest or one may acquire a
house through co-operative society, etc.
 V tbe lotd of 1 has no cosnection with
iMars, but if the lord of 4 and the lord of
i6 are connected with Mars, one borrows
money by mortgage.
If the lord of 1 has no connection, hut if
i the lord of 4 and lord of 8 are connected,
:1 he will sell away the property. The'pur-
chaser is represented Sy the seventh house;
8th house will be the second house to the
; purchaser. So he acquires.
If the lord of 4 is connected with the
.; Ibrd of 12 and also Sun, either he loses
the house by fire accident or through
public auction.
One uses much of wood if the' planet
which gives the house is connected with
Jupiter ; Kethu and Mars indicate that
one will use well-burnt bricks. Saturn and
Venus indicate cement, Saturn, Venus
and Mars indicate re-inforced concrete.
Sun, connected with the planet offering the
house, shows that the roof may be thatched
and grass may have been used; Moon
indicates that there will be copious supply
of wholesome water. Mercury indicates
that he may have twin .houses or servant
quarters, outhouse, etc. Venus and Moon
indicate that one will use lime and render
it to give the appearance like marble.
Mars and Venus indicate mosaic flooring.
Venus gives garden, furniture, glass, etc.
Saturn gives air-conditioning, frigidaire,
etc. Mars improves the kitchen: Venus
the bedroom ; Jupiter the cashtreasury
room; Mercury.the reading room ; Saturn
indicates that he may have a locker, an
underground room, cellar, etc.
When one lets the house for others, Sun
indicates that it will be let to Government
department or Government officials; Moon
for nurses, midwives, Navy people: those
who work in water supply, etc. Mars indi-
cates Surgeon, industrialist, police, military,
etc. Mercury shows business people, agents,
journalists, post office, etc.; Jupiter for
bank, school; Venus for hotels, silk
shop, silver shop, for ladies ; Saturn for
servants, labourers, etc.
That is why, some people build houses
arid'let tfie'm Out for Bank-; some let them
out for silk and silver shops; some for
laundry; some for saloon, etc. This
can be clearly -seen in the horoseppe of ^
the native.
So also one can find that owner of the
house where one lives, belongs to one of a
particular caste or profession or the
quarters belong to Government or local
body, etc., by scrutinising'the position-of
the. lord of 4, the Dasanatha and Bhukti
natha: i.e., the lords who rule the Dasa,
Bhukti, Anthra, etc.
The following horoscope will explain
the sale and purchase of house during the
difficult dasa that operated;

days. While this native was running Rahu
Dasa Rahu Bhukti Macs sub sub period
in the first week of July 1912, the house
belonging to his father was sold away.
He purchased a house on 5-11-1940,
when Jupiter Dasa Mars Bhukti Jupiter
Anthra was operating. He sold this house
on 8-6-1958 during Sani Dasa RaGii
Bhukti Sani Anthra.
Again on 4-7-1960 he purchased a
building during Sani Dasa Guru Bhukti
Budha Anthra.
Explanation for the transactions.
. (1) Rahuv was in the 4th houseEvil
planets in the 4th house indicate
loss of a house, if one possesses one
already. That is why, during Rahu
DasaRahu Bhukti and later in Saturn
Dasa Rahu Bhukti he had to dispose
of the houses.
(a) Rahu was in Rahu's star and
Mars sub. That is why, during
Rahu Dasa Rahu Bhukti Mars
Anthra, his father sold away the
house, when he was young.
(b) Sani is lord of 11 and also 12
Therefore, during evil sub
period, the results indicated by
evil house 12 will operate.
During the Bhukti of beneficial
planets, during Sani Dasa,
beneficial results will be
enjoyed , as lord of 11. If a
planet owns both'' good and
bad houses, one should not
divide adasa into two "halves
and then say first half is good,
the other half is bad or the
first half is bad and the other
half is good. But the correct
method of prediction would be
h.) during the" sub of beneficial
pljncls (not according to
their nature, but judgin
whethetione is a benefic or not,
by considering its occupation
and lordship) to declare
agreeable results in the sub
period of planets owning good
houses counted from Lagna
and occupying favourable
houses counted from Lagna
and Dasanatha house;
(a) during. Sani Dasa Rahu Bhukti
Sani anthra he sold away the
house on. 8-6-1958 and
(b) during Sani Dasa Guru Bhukti ,
(in 4th Bhava) Budha Anthra
(lord of 4th house) he pur-
chased a beautiful house.
During Sani Dasa Guru Bhukti
Mars Anthra he extended the
building.
Future Prediction: In December 1971,
he will purchase one more house during
Mercury Dasa Mars Bhukti Mercury
Anthra, sell away one in Mercury Dasa
Rahu Bhukti Sani Anthra and have one "
more in Jupiter Bhukti Mercury Anthra,
 MOLES
Astrological Expla-
Breast; Mole'will be found on the
right breast if there are malefics in the 4th
bOuse or in the sign Cancer (Kataka). 4th
house shows domestic environments,
permanent possessions, landed property,
conveyance, mother, later portion of life,
treasure, etc.
Moles will be found on the left breast if
malefics arc in the-lOth fiouseor in Capri-
corn (Makara). 10th house indicates
profession, occupation, business, inherit-
ance, name, fahie, reputation, etc.
Mole on the right breast portrays that
one may be given to drink. He will be
much attached to the love affairs. But at
the same time it threatens much misfortune
in life. One may have sudden reverse
from riches to poverty. If the lord of the
4th house occupies the 6lh or vice versa
or if the lord of the Navnmsa occupied by
the owner of the 4lh house is in 6, the
person will have much pressure for money
and he will mortgage his properly. But if
the lord of the 4th house is in 8 or if the
lord of 8 is in 4, the native will once for
all, sell away the property. Anyhow the
person willlose possession of the property.
There may be many accidents. The 4th
house indicates conveyance and building.
If malefics are in 4, the old wall may fall
and he may be injured or he may meet
with accident while travelling-and the
vehicle may get damaged.
It is said that the partner will be indust-
rious. Partner indicated by the 7th
house. Therefore, the 4th house to the
person means, 10th house to partner. Is
it not a fact that malefics in the 10th house
indic^ie ma^iaium. labour, and minimuni.
wages. So tne partner has to be industrious,
pains-taking and persevering.
Some may pity the person as he will
have many children and most of them
27
girls. No doubt the,children will have
high connections, get married in well-to-
do families and will be helpful to parents.'
Malefics in the^th house show such results ;
5th house indicates children. Only when
the 5th house is occupied by malefics
either there will be no children or children
may be still-born or short-lived, etc. But
4th house is the 12th house to the 5th and
hence it shows expenses to them. Hence
they pay to elders.
The person will have such friends that
will cheat the native and will do harm
as the 4ih house forms quincunx aspect
with 'the 11th house which represents
friends.
Moles in the left breast indicate that one
will be hard-working, rfe will prefer to
walk any distance. It shows success in
one's attempts, and satisfactory improve-
ment in one's status. "Even in loveafiairs,
he will find steady and smooth progress,
harmony and happiness. Me will accu-
mulate wealth. Mosllv hoys will be bom
who may make their fortune by going
overseas and esablishing connection with
foreigners. In ladies, this mole shows
their sincerity in love and sterling charac-
ter. It promises that they will become
richer and richer as age advances.
Buttocks: Moles in the buttocks
denote that one will be lazy and lethargic.
7th house signifies buttocks. So malefics
in.the 7th bouse oppose the ascendant and
spoil the lagna. Hence the person will be
idle. He will not be successful in his
attempts and he will not be satisfied with
his income. Expenses will exceed income.
Saturn in 7 makes one idle. Mars in 7
indicates extravagant partner. Rahu or
Kethu in 7 increases the medical bill due

As the general principles enunciated have
many alternatives and it is not possible to
fix the exact time, we have to follow
stellar astrology to find out the time of
birth. As the native who put the question
mentioned that he would be happy to have
a grandson, one is to find out the answer
taking the Lagna Navamsaand the lord of
the Lagna at the time of query as the
query relates to his pleasure. Lagna falls,
in Dhanur Navamsa, governed by Jupiter,
a masculine sign ruled by a masculine
planet. The lord of Lagna, Moon, is in
Aquarius Navamsa, a masculine sign, and
is in the constellation Uthrashada, owned
by Sun, a masculine planet. The Lagna
lord Moon aspects lagna. Hence the
querist must be happy. His wish will be
fulfilled. So he must have a grandson.

its ford as femih'iuc and you examine only

child. If you examine by stellar method

nakshathra in which the planet is and offer
prediction accordingly, you get the correct
answer. Always a planet * A' delivers
goods according to the nature and quality
of the other planet * B * in whose constel-
lation ' A' is situated. That is, the quality
and nature are decided by the lord of the
constellation. A planet in a constellation,
whether it agrees with the lord of the
constellation or hot, must offer the results
indicated by the lord of the constellation.
Therefore, the first answer is that he will
have his desires fulfilled by having a
grandson.
Delivery means that, the girl cannot
have normal health, during, and immedi-
cannot have the usual health. So take the .
5th house which shows the first daughter.
It is owned by Mars. Mars is in Moon's
sign and Saturn's star Pushyam.
. The. cause of ailment is already
mentioned. It is delivery. It is indicated
by Jupiter, lord of 5 to 5, i.e., lord of ttfe
5th house counted from Scorpio (which
indicates the daughter). Jupiter was in.
Sun's star and in its own sub. It is in
Venus sign. So it shows easy delivery:
The query was put at the time when
Moon was transiting in Sun's star in
Saturn's sign, Uthrashada. M oon always
indicates the nature of the query. So his
query is indicated by the lord of the sign
Saturn and the lords of the star Sun. They
being the lord of the constellation in which
Mars, lord of 5 and Jupiter, lord of 5 to 5
are posited, the question naturally is about
his daughter's delivery.
Where and when? As lord of 5 is in
the 12th bhava to Lagna, even, though
both Lagna and Mars are in the sairid
sign, and since the 12th bhava shows
separation, hospital! sation, etc., she will
be separated from the querist. As Mars
is in Saturn's constellation, and Saturn
was in 4th to the 5th"house (though in its
own) and retrograde, she will Be admitted
in the hospital. Planets^ in retrograde
OiQtjon in the.fpjirih house show change
of residence. So the place of delivery is
not his house but the hospital.
 When? If one wants to know the time
when a matter will materialise, at once
note the ruling planets for that moment,
the moment of query. The permutation
and combination of the same planets alone
can fulfil it. What are the ruling planets
at the lime of the query 1
(1) The day of query is Thursday.
Its.lord is Jupiter.
(2) Moon is transiting in Capricorn
(Makara) which is governed by
Saturn.
(3) The lord of the Lagna, Cancer,
is Moon.
Combination of
(a) Moon and Saturn
(b) 'Moon and Jupiter :
(c) Moon and Mercury ;
(d) Mercury and Jupites
_ (e) Jupiter and Saturn
These arc the probabilities." Since the
delivery is expected by the medical
uLlcnuaiiL msOu, i.e., on the aaiiJC Jay or
within a week or so, note the days ruled
Jjy.these Jour planets alone and whether
the ' probable stars coincide on those
days.
(1) Thursday-night Sravanam. So
Inhere is the-chance.
=^-(2) ^-Friday. - Reject as Venus has^no
r" connection,
r..-- (3) Saturday Sathabhisha, It is not
one of the many combinations
worked out. Therefore reject..
(4)' Sunday. Reject as Sun is not one
' of the ruling planets at the time
of the query.
(5) Monday, Poorvapathrapada-
Aquarius Rasi. All agree. The
day agrees; the star is one of the
probabilities ; the rasi agrees.
Hence 'say that on "Monday when
Poorvapatbrapada star is on and when
Moon is in K.umb|ia, the child will be
born. The day of birth is fixed.
(4) Lagna fell in Aslesha star ruled
by Mercury'.
Therefore the matter will be fruitful at
a time when only these four planets rule
the day, the lagna and the constellation
in which lagna falls, the star transited by
Moon and the rasir (sign) transited by
Moon. In other words, the lagna, the
star, the rasi and the day of birth must be
ruled by these four planets. Other planets
will have no connection at all. Hence
reject other days except Monday, Wednes-
day, Thursday and Saturday. Also find
out the stars which are owned by these
four planets and also the sign governed
by them.
Sravanam or Pushyam
Punarpushyam 4th pada
Aslesha or Hastham
Revathi and Punaivasu 1st to 3rd
padas.
Poorvapatbrapada or Uthrapathrapada
Now fix the time. Rcforc the Sun rises
on Monday, PoorvapalhrLipada commen-
ced. Since before sunrise on Monday, the
day is called Sunday by astrologers as Sun
rules till sunrise on Monday, reject that
time. Again in the evening, Moon leaves
Saturn's sign Aquarius and passes on to
Pisces when Saturn will be without any
connection. Therefore between sunrise
and sunset of Monday the child is to be
born. As the lagna at the time of query
was in Cancer and in Aslesha star,
Mercury must have some connection with
the time of birth. As, on Monday, Poor-
vapatbrapada star was on, Mercury can
have connection by ruling the lagna (Day,
star and rasi are ruled by Moon, Jupiter
and Saturn). Mercury owns. Gemini and
Virgo. In Gemini the first 6 degrees and
40 minutes are to be rejected as it is called
Mfigasirisha governed by Mars. The next
13d 20r in Gemini are ruled by Rahu called
Arudhra. Reject this outright. The last+
I O'd'eg'ress aVe calle'd Puriarva'su ruled by
Jupiter. Chances are there. Again in
Virgo, the first 10 degress are ruled by
Sun who had.no connection with the lime
32
 The last 6 40', Chithra ruled
by Mars, has no connection. The star
Hastham may be the Ascendant as Moon
was a ruling planet at the time of query.
As Poorvapathrapada will not last till
Gemini rises in the east at the time of
birth of the child, the lagna should be in
Hastha constellation or in Aslesha ruled
by Mercury in Moon's sign. Since
Poorvapathrapada would end before
Cancer Aslesha could rise in the east, it is
out of question. Hence Hastha portion,
i.e., 10 to 23 20' in .Virgo should be the
time of birth of the child.
Actually the male child was born at
6-46 a.m. on Monday (ruled by Moon), in
Poorvapathrapada star (governed by Jupi-
ter), in Kumbha rasi (owned by Saturn)
and in Virgo Ascendant at 14 2' (lord of
which is Mercury) in a famous hospital in
Delhi 28 40' North and 77 12' East;
The following is the chart:

The ruling planets are Moor, lord of
the day, Mercury, lord of the lagna,
Saturn, lord of the rasi, and Jupiter, lord
of the janma nakshathra. So Moon,
Mercury, Saturn and Jupiter again jointly
operated at the time of birth of the child
which alone were the planets ruling at the
time of query.
Note to students;
Whenever a query is asked^ybu treat'it-
astrologically. Pray for a minute. Then
wait for any 'Nimitham', i.e., guidance
from God to declare the results. GOD
DOES GUIDE. It is timely and very
correct, provided the astrologer is a real
' Daivagyna
What guidance did- I have? A few
' minutes passed for ine to work, calculate
and predict. After my working was over
and before T could declare my result, '
there was the ringing of the calling bell.
I found the postmqn with a" letter- saying
" Express Delivery, Sir ". At oncp I told
the querist ''Your daughter will deliver
soon I went through the letter delivered
by the postman. It was written tha.t a
passenger coming from Madras to Delhi
would deliver me some articles I needed
on Monday morning which my people at
Madras have sent through him. As Mercury
rules postman, I was happy to pilch upon
the Ascendant as Virgo ruled by Mercury.
Readers I astrologically you decided
Monday morning. Providence confirms.
Why then have we to think of any other
alternative? Boldly X wrote that his
daughter will deliver on next Monday in
Poorvapathrapada star, Virgo lagna when
the lagna is in Hastha. It did come out
very correct.
Question 2 ; On Sunday, when the
lecture v/a^ abuut to be over at Bharatiya
Vidyu Bhavan, a noble and influential lady
stepped in and asked "Will Johnson win
in the coming Presidential Election in
America? "
When asked to mention a number within
108, the generous lady unhesitatingly, said

moment and for the number'108 *

 !. The question is about the success or
failure of a strangerhe who is not
relatedhe who is not the employerhe
who-is not a neighbourhe who^ is not an
-acqua'inta'rice even: but. he who is an
absolute stranger. Therefore 9th. house
represents Mr. Johnson. If he stands
for . election we should take Meena as
Lagna.
2. The Lagna according, to the number
is PiSccs-Mesha. Therefore 9th house
indicating Johnson is Scorpio.-Vrischika.
Vrichika indicates hira.
Moon's position shows the query.
Mpbn is in the 7tb cusp counted from
Scorpio 26c 40' to 30.
So Moon indicates litigation, competi-
tion, election, etc. as it is.in,the 7th house.
Moon* is in the constellation of Mars.

one is to consider taking the -ascendant of
a person and the 7th house counted from
his ascendant and judge onmpfirativp.ly who
has the stronger beneficial aspects.
Mi. Johnson is.repicsentcd by Scorpio.
'Hir^oppdnent^Svhorasoever he-may -be,

Neplune to Scorpio 26o40' to 30 ascendant.
-Neptune- is not.allotted.any star. So the
question .of a planet occupying Neptune's
star does not arise.
Sun, in the 11th sign, goes to 10th Bhava.
Sun was in the constellation of Bagyadhi-
pathi Moon and sub of Lagnadhipathi
Mars. Sun is auspicious.
. Sun and Mercury are in Parivafthana-
yoga. Mercury occupies Rajayogadhi-
pathi .(lord of 10 for name, fame,
34
reputation, honour and success); Sun's sign
Leo ; Sun's star Uthrapalguni and Sun's
sub. Hence Mercury, Lord of 11 is under
the sway of Sun promising grand success.
Sun can never be in retrograde motion.
Mercury is not retrograde at the time of
the query. Therefore the results indicated i
by them will cotne to .pass.
The opponent's Lagna should be taken "
as Taurus 26 40' to 30.
No planet is in the llth house.
Owner of the 11th house is Jupiter. It
is in the 12th Bhava to Taurus 26 40' to
30. Further, Jupiter was in retrograde^ i
motion. Hence, the lord of 11 in the 12th~
Bhava, in retrograde motion, indicates that
the opponent shown by Taurus williose
miserably. Therefore Johnson will win.

Answer :Overseas means long journey:
it includes crossing the sea and having a *
thorough change in the surroundings.
. 4th house shows the permanent place of
residence. Benefics in' 4 allow one to
continue to live in the same place when
one lives.
12th house to the 4th indicates that he
. will.leave the permaoent place of residepce
either temporarily or permanently depend^
ing on the nature of the sign. If the third
house is a movable sign, it indicates a
 thorough change in the surrounding and
environment as movable signs indicate
Newton's First Law. It is more like the
rains on the top of a hill which leaves the
hill and cannot trace back to the original
catchment area. But, if the third house is
a common sign, one will go to any other
place and come back. It is Tike a pendulum
or a swinging cradle. In service, movable
signs (Chara rasi) show that a person will
leave one service and take up another.
There will be thorough change in the
institution, etc. But common sign indi-
cates a transfer in the same department or
institution or to lend Service to another
department having a lien in the parent
department.
To any Bhava, the 6th and the 12th
therefrom is evil to that Bhava house. As
the 4th house indicates one's permanent
place of residence, the 6Lh therefrom, that
-isrthe 9th-house should change.-9th house
according to all authors indicates long
journey and overseas.
Hindu sages and Western scholars have
declared that 12th house, counted from
iLagna,-^portrays - one's .. stay either in a
'foreign " place, hospi tal, asylu'rfTor jail.
So if the 12lh house and the lords of 3 and
9 have connecliun, one wili go ovci&caii
But if the 12th house is connected with
.6th.house.or its lord, one will be admitted
in "a'hospital. If the' 12th house and lord
of 8th house are connected, karagraha-
Pravesham or imprisonment is threatened.
H Therefore one has to consider the houses
'3f9 and -U tO^find whether a journey and
stay in a"foreign land is indicated.
- Always the planets
1 , Tfa), Jn the constellation of the occu-
pants of these houses, 3, 9 or 12,
(b) which occupy these houses,
(c) those in the constellation of the -
lords of 3, 9 and 12,
(d) owning these houses and
(e) those in any manner connected
.with theq^ indicate JopgJourney
and life'' in a fbYeign place.
'The above rule applies to all
questions.
36
Whenever one asks about overseas? the
first question-to.be answered is whether it
is promised or not; then only when the
journey will materialise is to be considered.
Saturn, Lord of Lagna, is also lord of
12. It is in a fruitful, watery sign, in the
constellation of Mercury who occupies
12th house. It is a strong significator*
The 9th house extends from 3 12' Scorpio
to 27 12'. It shows 9th house results.
Further, 9th cusp also falls in Scorpio,
ruled by Mars in whose sign, Saturn was
at the time of birth. Hence Saturn is a
strong significator.
Mars is the lord of the 9th cusp. It is
in a movable sign and in the constellation,
the watery planet of Moon. It is in
Capricorn, the I2lh sign, owned by Saturn
and aspected by Saturn (Hindu system for
the nature of results).. Mars and Saturn
are in Parivarthanayoga. Mars is further
exalted and strong.
The 12th Cusp falls in 28 12'. It is
Saturn's sign, Mar's star Dhanishta and
Saturn sub.
Hence life in a foreign place is clearly
indicated and-strongly promised by Mars
and Saturn.
It i> said Lb a I planets in tSic constellation
of the occupants of the I2lh house are the
slrongesl significators. Mercury is in 12.
Saturn and Jupiter occupy Mercury's star,
Jyeshta and Revathi respectively. There-
fore Jupiter also must offer such results.
Further, any planet occupying Mercury's
.constellation will give results more than
once as Mercury is for plurality. Therefore,
there will be more than one tour. Overseas
is promised.
When?
The results indicated by the planets,
whatever they are will be offered only when
those planets, (a) run their Dasa and
Bhukti, (b) form favourable aspect by
progression and by transit.
So, you have to wait till you run, Jupiter
dasa. Sating ^Bhykfi^Mars . aqthw and,
again during Jupiter dasa. Mars Bhukti,
Saturn anthra, i.e., between 1-3-1965 and
24-4-1965.
^ As per K.rishnamurthi Paddhathi, when
one runs Jupiter Dasa, Saturn Bhukti, Mars
anthra, Sun will transit in a degree which
Will be governed by all the 3 planets. So,
Jupiter star in Saturn's sign, Poorattadhi,
i.e., Poorvapathrapada and Mars sub in it
or in Saturn^s star Jupiter's sign-Meena
in the constellation Uthrattadhi or Uthra-
pathrapada and Mars sub therein can give..
(If the sub period is to run "in the beginning
of December, then Sun will transit in
M^r's sign Scorpio, in Saturn's star and
Jupiter sub, i.e., last degree of Anuradha.)
So, either 13-3-1965or 27-3-1965 will be
the time when Sun will be transiting in
Poorvapathrapada or U.thrapathrapada
Star. The latter is stronger.
The lime of departure will be governed
by Saturn, Mars and Jupiter, i.e., their day,
star day and Lagna. On 13-3-1965
Saturday, ruled by Saturn in Punarvasu
star governed by Jupiter and in Aries
ascendant owned by Mars before 9 A.M.
you will leave to overseas.
By Horary : method for Question 3
The native put the query on 20-9-64 at

The time at which the question is put,
is taken and the result is given.
'Lagffa" indicates"whether^tber questip.n: - planets, and allows, the natixe to. real isJ
will receive a favourable answer or not.
Success or failure is indicated by the
37
Lagna Bhava and Labha Bhava, i.e., the
first and the eleventh houses.
Lord of Lagna is conjoined with lord of
2 and is in a watery, fruitful sign which is
a movable one. It is in the constclletioo
of Mercury, lord of 9 and 12. Hehce the
lord of the ascendant promises success in
the attempt to go overseas and be success-
ful in the. tour also, as it approaches
the Meridian.
Moon indicates one's -mind, and the
. position of Moon shows the nature of-the
query. Moon is in the4th Bhava. It shows
changability of surrounding and environ-
ment. It is in the sign ruled by Saturn and
the star Satabhisha governed by Rahu
and in the sub of Venus who is lord o
Lagna and the strong significator.
Saturn, as lord of 4, in retrograde motion,
also suggests a change Qf place.
Venus promises long journey and sta
outside, as , it is in 9th Bhava in
movable watery sign.
Rahu in Mercury's sign, Gemini, the 3r
sign of the Zodiac and in the constellatio
of Mars in 9th Bhava-confirms this.
Therefore Saturn, Venus and Mars are
the planets indicating the success in their
conjoined period and all arc connected
with the 9tli house, a watery sign and a
movable one.
The finding of the Modern Astrological
Research Institute, Madras, is that the
planets which signify the results according
to Horary astrology, will, offer the result
in the period and sub period of thes
planets in the native's life, according t<
Ududasa System.
Hence this native will have his desire,
fulfilled when Sani,Marsand Venus jointlj
operate. The sub period of other pjanetl
will have no concern. Saturn Bhukti,
Mars Anthra and Venus sub sub may b
the period.
Always Sun, as lord of 11th cusp in tb
Ulh Bhava, wards off the evil of othe
his ambition. Therefore going Averse
is strongly indicated.

. Scorpio is the 8th sign of the Zodiac.
It is also 30 in longitude. It extends
from; the 21t)th degree from vernal E quinox
(Aries Mesha 0) to 240. Sun will be

According to Sayana System, nowadays
the Sun enters Scorpio around 23rd

which have to cause disease, if they

Scorpio. Stone in the bladder is caused
mostly by Saturn.

Domestic Environments: For your
jolly good life and success in your career,
environment plays the vital part. Your
ambition is that whatever you say in any

over others. You cannot lead your life
without all comforts and conveniences.
You spend much beyond your capacity.
Expecting some income, you will Spend

 MOON IN THE 12TH HOUSE
By
JVOTHfSHA VlSHARATH K. GaNAPATHI
Moon is a feminine planet. It is
negative and is ever changeable whereas
Sun is a masculine planet, positive in
nature, offering strong will and force to
one. Moon governs one's mind, intellect,
conduct and disposition. It indicates how
one will react to the various incidents in
one's career.
12th house indicates whether one will
have sound sleep or not. [3rd house shows
one's awakening from sleep; 6th house
signifies trance: 9th house indicates the
dream.] But Kalidas alone in Uthra-
kalamrita differs and mentions that 12th
-house represents'*' awakening from sleep "
or " Nithra Banga". He is also correct if
one interprets that planets in the 12th
house, when afflicted, do not permit one
to. have a peaceful sleep.
2-sMoon in the 12th house, when afflicted,
causes mental pain. l!vil aspects to Moon
cause fear from oppoin-mb, vuinpctitors.
enemies, etc. Advofscly, Moon afflicted in
12 causes imnrisonmcnl. Bui fdvoujable
^aspects to Mouu give relief from pain and.

Tores tall the clearance of. loan. For the
I atcoud house indicates one's bank position.
The seventh house is one who had already
lent money. Therefore 8th house, being ~
_ the second to the seventh,. signifies the
finance of that person.
12;h. house is to issue cheques; 8th
house is the receipt of the cheque by the
person who lends the money. Hence planets
ih 8 and 12, benefic by nature and forming
good aspect mutually (Western System)
assure the possibility, of returning the
loans.
'Kalida'S is' oroplnion ' that one should
consider paternal wealth from the 12th
10
,
house, probably because 4th house indicates
one's permanent possession and the 12th
house happens to be the 4th from the 9th.
Therefore Moon in 12 may show that
one's father may change residence during
the period of Moon if it is in 12 in one's
horoscope.'
12th house signifies secret inimical
activity, whereas 6th house indicates" open
inimical activity. 7th house is the oppo-
nent or enemy or competitor. Hence,
Moon in 12 threatens that, during the
period and subperiod of Moon, one may
have the fear that there may be some
people who will be trying to do harm to a
person (a) either without the knowledge of
the native, or (b) stabbing one at his back,
or (c) digging grave to one, or (d) black-
mailing one. Such people who outwardly
appear to be honest while inwardly not
sincere would have been born on a Mon-
day or in Rohini or Hasta or Sruvanam
slur ut m Cancer Lagnu or rasi.
[Notes to students : suppose oneis born
in Foocvapulguni star, say in 19 or so;
then Moon is in Venus star Poorvapalguni
and in Rahu sub; therefore when one runs
Venus and Rahu sub sub and sub-periods,
if Venus is lord of 12 (according to
Lagna, and Moon is lord of 12) counted
from Moon sign, one will have a fall
due to the most polished diplomatic way
during the conjoined periods of Venus,
Rahu and Moon].
12th house indicates hospitals, asylum,-
sanatorium, jails, etc. U means that one
loses his freedom and free movement, etc.
One cannot be independent. " He has to
depend on others. If Moon in 12 is in no
way connected with the lord of 6, one will
not fall ill, and will not be admitted in the
hospital ; but find out in which constella-
.tjofl.Moon was, at the.time of birth. Who*
is that lord ? ' What arc the signs ruled by
him? Find out to which*L^uses, these
 signs happen Lo be the sixth house.
Judge, whether the houses indicate
relatives, friends, enemies, servants, Offi-
cers etc. Then, during Moon's poriods'and
sub periods one will visit hospital to see
such a patient. So also one may visit the
jail to meet a convict. [A person born in
the Ascendant Leo-Simha with Moon
in Fushyam star-ruled by Saturn, was ever
attending a hospital due to the lingering
ailment of his wife admitted in a T. B.
Sanatorium. Why ? Because (a) Moon in 12
shows visit to a place of segregation,'
(b) Moon was in Saturn's star indicating
lingering, loathsome and chronic ailment;
(c) Moon occupying Cancer sign indicates
Tuberculosis ; (d) Cancer is the 6th sign
to Aquarius i (e) Aquarius is the 7th to
Leo. 7th indicates wife. So 12th house
shows wife's ill-health. Hence this person
had to be visiting T. B. Sanatorium to
attend upon his wife who had been suffer-
ing from T.B.] A person bojn in Aries
Lagna, born in Revatbi star, having
Moon in 12, . got contract to supply
materials to a jail dyring his Mooa dasa,
1 Metcury Bhukti. Why? Because Moon
was in the constellation of Mercury who is
the lord of 3 and 6. Sixth house indicates
how one serves and makes money. Third
house shows that one may be an agent or
a representative. Mercury indicates
similar results and also those who enter
into a contract and carry on the business
of a contractor. Therefore one. has to
consider carefully and predict. One should
not say that one will be imprisoned.
Also this person> had his younger
brother employed in the accounts depart-
. ment in the Jail. How can it be explained
in his chart? Younger brother is shown
by the 3rd house. Therefore to one born
in Mesha-Aries Lagna, Mithuna or Gemini
is the 3rd house : Moon is lord of 2, indi-
cating self acquisition. To Mithuna,
Moon was in 10 for profession. Hence,
the younger brother-was employed1 in a
jail.
12th house shows life in a foreign place.
]t is true in those nativities whose Moon
^was.in the constellation of a planet occu-^p A ff
pyiit^ kTHbVabiS Df'a tbmnfoii'sign.
foreign place, one should not presume
that one has to settle in a foreign land
ruled by a foreigner. Any place other
than the permanent place is to be con-
strued as foreign. Lord of 4 in 12 indi-
cates sale of property, handing over pos-
session and changing one's residence. Lord
of 9 in 12, or Moon in 12 in the constella-
tion of lord of 9, or Moon as lord of 9 in
12 shows long journey and life in a foreign
place.
In Sanketanidhi, Shri Ramadayalu says
that the 12th house represents both the
feet of a personandit is also called Vyaya.
Sudden and expected demands, pressure for
money, uncommon expenses far exceeding
one's income, donation, gift, charity,
construction of well, reservoir etc., either
virtuous or sinful actions of a person,
punishment (either by God or Government
or anybody) fines, losses etc., are indicated.
Death may come to pass during the
dasa of the planet that has a Sambanda,
i.e., connection with the 12th house.
Ramadayalu is of strong opinion that
there will be loss of wealth through water
(it may be Hoods or rain) if evil planets
conjoin with the Moon in 'the twelfth
house. A friend of the editor, a business-
man in Andamsns. loaded sugar in r. ship
ami before it arrived, dt-c to leakage, the
brackish ceav/ntcr had beer, ccnvcrted to
syrup and he b:".i ; par! of his
fortune
Shri Ramadayalu adds that Moon,, con-
joined with Jupiter in the 12th house,
indicates that one will construct a dam or
build new reservoirs or excavate tanks.
Sun and Moon in the 12th house threatens
that the Government will confiscate one's
entire property. Benefies conjoined with
Moon, promise that one will amass wealth
and the same riches will be earned by
fair means. Malefics portend loss as a
result of one's foul actions. Black-marke-
teers will be penalised during the conjoined
period of Moon and the malefic in the
twelfth house. If Moon is not conjoined
with any planet, or connected With any,

According to him, Moon in 12 occupy-
ing a movable sign or aspected by Saturn,
makes the person room about in the plains,
forest etc. Waxing moon receiving good
aspect shows that the person will be
liberal, doing meritorious deeds etc., and
' will be engaged in agriculture. Moon,
receiving good aspects from Venus, indi-
cates that he will enjoy the comforts of

In Phala Deepika it is said that
one is to consider the twelfth house for

12th house as Lcena Sthana, i.e., house
which is hidden. 12th house is popularly
_ known as one of the three Dush Sthanas
-6. 8 and 12. 12th house is similar to a
snake in grass or wolf in sheep's clothing.
In political astrology, tho 12th house
shows prisons, hospitals, refuge camps,
philanthropic institutions, reformatories,

In Racing, 12th house indicates the feet,
the restrictions brought on the owner, the
barring of a jockey from riding, fraud
and deceptive action, etc.
Generally Moon in the 12th house
shows that one will be inclined to read
occult subjects, practice mysterious ones,
have secret romance as the senses will

sign Makara ruled by Saturn, in Dhanus
(Sagittarius) lagna oWned by Jupiter and
in Dhanishta(Avittam)star, lord of which
is Mars.
If one takes Gemini as the 1st house (it
being the sign occupied by Moon) and
rejects Libra (Thulam) Ascendant due to
the occupation of Saturn and Mars, the ,
two ' natural malefics, then 7th' house
alone is occupied and Sun and Mercury
are there. The second house is aspected
by Jupiter who is lord of 7 to Moon rasi,
by Venus from the Stli bhava and Saturn
from Moon rasi is also aspcctcd by Saturn
and Mars. Hence Jupiter, Mars and
Saturn are the significators and the part-
ner's birth is governed only by rhe
strongest of the significators,
' Characteristics'of the hnsband
He will be law-abiding, true, honest,
sincere, methodical, reliable and one who
will make a few promises but will .fulfil
it to others' entire satisfactiod.
Characteristics of the wife
She is a Venusian," modest, polite,
intelligent, tactful, diplomatic, adjusting
and accommodative. Occasionally 'she
and leads a comfortable life.
Time of marriage
Marriage takes place during the con-
joined period of the significators, or those
 in the constellation of the significatori or
those conjoined with theito.
In the gentleman's chart, the balance
in Mars dasa was 4 years and 8 days.
At the time of marriage on 7121945,
he was running ' Jupiter dasa, Saturn
bhukti and Venus anthara. Saturn is
lord of 2, Venus is lord of 11, and
Jupiter is conjoined with them.
In the lady's chart, there was a balance
of only 2 years 6 months dnd 19 days of
Mars dasa. At the time of marriage, she
had been running Jupiter dasa, Jupit6r
bhukti and Venus anthara. Jupiter is in
2 to her lagoa and is lord of 7 to her
Moon sign. Venus is the chief governor '
for marriage. Venus is in the star of lord
of 11 Sun and receives the aspect of Mars,
lord of 2 and 7. Jupiter and Venus also
aspect the second house counted from the
Moon sign. Jupiter and Venus are
common in the charts of both.
It will be a pleasant surprise to note that
the day of marriage was a Friday governed
by Venus', the star on that day was Poor-
vashada ruled by Venus and the lagna and
rasi was Dbanus owned by the , Jupiter.
One therefore finds that the marriage must
take place only in that manner, that is on
the day ruled by one of the. signilicators
and in the star, rasi and lagna, governed
by thein. h '.misI agree with both the
husband and wife's charts.
[In this connection, it may be mentioned
that a few people wrongly say " The boy's
chart does not show that this is the time
of .marriage. But the girl's chart is
stronger^ and indicates it and that is why
the marriage has taken .place". Or they
may say that, even though the^girl is not
running a good period, the strength of the
boy's chart has concluded the marriage at
an early date. V/hat a pity ! Ignorance of
the science leads to such statements.
Unless both of them run a propitious time
for marriage, how can they gel married ?)
Married life is very happy and harmo-
nious, as, in the gentleman's chart, the lord
of 1 and the lord of 7 are conjoined
together in Bagyasthana and in the lady's
wart'lSe'TdWor^l ^spettcd^fcy- the lor<W-
of 1 and the lord of the rasi is occupied
17
by the Moon ; i.e., Mercury has gone to
the 7th (from Moon rasi). Indeed they
are an enviable couple, enjoying all the
fruits of life in this world arid usefully
spending much time on prayers. May God
give them long life, health and prosperity.

When one1 takes a horoscope for judg-
ment, the first duty of an astrologer is to
note whether the ascendant is strong and
nnafflicted. . If the lagna is occupied
by natural malefics, then it is afflicted.
Saturn, Mars, Rahu and Kcthu occupying
the ascendant not pwned by them weaken
the same. In that case, the nnafflicted sign
occupied by Moon should be taken as the
first house and therefrom the other houses
2, 3, etc., are to be calculated.
In the above chart, Rahu is in lagna
and iord of lagna has gone to the 6th sign

prediction, he will naturally say that
Jupiter is a Rajayogadhipathi arid Venus
is a benefic to Gemini (Mithuna) borns,
hence the native has to enjoy good results..
This is sthoola.
(b) If one takes the sign occupied by
Moon as the lagna and -predicts accor-
dingly, then Jupiter is lord of 3 andi6 and
he is evil. But quoting' Jataka Chandrika'
he will foretell that Venus will offer brilli-
ant results.
(c) Consider as mentioned below which
method)* which, alone
will come correct.
(i) Jupiter is lord of 7 and 10 if you'
count from lagna. It is i(W^ coilstella-
 tion of Mars, the lord of 6 and 11. Hence
Jupiter becomes evil.
(ii) Venus is lord of 5. It is con-
joined with Kethu and is in Kethu*s con-
stellation. Therefore Venus is also evil.
Jupiterdasa, Venus bhukti will therefore
cause some disease or danger to the
native.
(iii) Counting from Moon's sign
which is correct, Jupiter is lord of 6. It
is in the constellation of Mars, mara-
kasthana adhipathi, and of MQichry,
sub of lord of 12. Venus is also lord of 8
(counted from the Moon sign) and is in
Kethu's constellation and conjoined with
Kethu. Venus is in his own sub. It is in
the thirdh'ouse owned by'Jupiter who is
to cause ailment.
KetKu, a node, gives the results of the
planets with'which it is conjoined and
the, lord of the sign in which it is situated.
Therefore Kethu has to give* the results of
Jupiter as it is in Dhanus (Sagittarius) and
of Venus as it is conjoined with it. Jupiter
is lord of 6, Venus is lord of 8. Mars was
posited in Saturn's constellation. Mer-
cury's sub (Mercury is the lord of the 12th
house).
The reasons ar'v:
(a) Jupiler was In the constellation of
. Mars (Io;d of 2 and 7 counted from the
, Moon sign) and sub of Mercury (lord of
12 from the Moon sign); Mars is evil.
(b) Venus was in Kethu's constellation
21
and Kethu is to give the results-of Venus
and Jupiter. To Moon sign Libra, both
Jupiter and Venus are therefore evil.
So taking Moon, sign as the first house
and deciding that the constellations occu-
pied, by Jupiter and Venus (lords of 6 and
8 from Moon sign) are ruled by raalefics,
one can correctly indicate the accident.
If one takes lagna, how can an astro-
loger say that (he injury should be in the
head as Jupiter is in 5 to lagna and Venus
is in 7, But if the Moon sign is taken as
the first house, then Jupiter is in the first
house which also governs the head.
Jupiter, as lord of 6 to Moon sign,
indicates that it has to punish the native
but, being a benefic by nature, it saved
him from serious damage. Actually where
the boy fell there was a doctor standing
by the side of his car witnessing "Ram-'
Lila." No sooner he saw the boy falling
than he rushed to the spot, did first aid at
once and took him to the. hospital where
he was employed 'and admitted him
without any delay. All these are not acci-r
dental. According to the boy's fate, he
is to fall down and since Jupiter aspects
Lagna and is conjoined with Moon it has
to save him also. The dlfilculiy must he
there, ycl there will he the Providential
help in linje. Jf Jupiter neither aspects
Lagna nor is conjoined with Moon, he
could not have had iaiuiediau. attention,*
nor could he have lived even a few hour's
after the fall. All say " God is Great ".
Astrologers say " Jupiter is great"..

at Poona who had lost his movable pro-
perty (some thousands of rupees) by theft

The horoscope clearly shows that one has
to follow only the stellar system to arrive
at the correct result.

Find out whether lagna is strong or the
Moon sign (the sign occupied by Moon) is
Strong. As Saturn is lord of lagna as well
as lord of the 12th bhava and is-in the
lagna, lagna is weaker than the Moon sign
Libra (Thulam). According to Jataka
Parijatam, the sign in which the conjunc-
'tion of Sun and Moon occurs is stronger
than even the lagna. So one is to take
Libra (ThuUm) as the first house..
In Horary astrology, the 7lh house
denotes thieves, outlaws, etc. Mars is
lord of 2 and 7. He is in the constellation . cannot contribute to any good result
of Kethu and in Rahu's sub. Jupiter, lord
of 6, is in Vrischika (Scorpio), the sign
ruled by Mars, lord of 2 and 7. Jupiter
is in Saturn's constellation and Saturn's
sub. Note that Jupiter and Mars are
under the sway of malefics. '
Lord of 5 and planets in the fifth house
always give profit to those indicated by
22
the 7th house,'because the 5th house is the
11th to the 7th house. (7th house repre-
sents wife, opponent, thief, etc). Hence
Saturn in 5 is auspicious only to the
opponent or thief. Jupiter occupying
Saturn's constellation therefore gives
profit to the thief. But when ? At the time
when the period of lord of 7 operates.
The lord of the 7th house is Mars. Hence
Jupiter dasa, Mars bhukti has given
substantial gains to the opponent, by
bringing loss to the native. Jupiter is in
8 to Aries (Mesha) which is the sign of the
opponent or the thief. Beoefics in nafure
occupying the 8th house promise sudden
increase in wealth (Sowmyae. Ranthrae
Nithyapthe).
Suppose one takes the lagna and offers
prediction. Then Jupiter is the lord of 2
and 11. Mars is the lord of 10. So one
has to predict brilliant results and one will
not be able to advance any. explanation
astrologically for the loss by theft. This
is sthoola. But if sooksharna method
(stellar theory) is applied, one can give the
correct reading.
The native had a promotion in Jupiter
dasa, Sun bhukti. Again another promo-
tion came in Moon bhukti.. However,
during the bhukti of Mars, lord of 10, he
did not have, any improvement at all;
instead he was the victim of theft.
Generally one will say " This person is
running Jupiter dasa. Sun is in 12 to
Jupiter. Hence he must have a change in
his job or he may lose his position'. The
bhukti of a planet in 12 to the dasanatha
during its subperiod." This is the general
finding. But note the results actually
enjoyed by the native.
Neither the'horoscope is wrong,.nor is
the statement incorrect. The method of
prediction needs improvement._Eorget.the

 (c) YOUR INTERVIEW AND THE RESULT
When the astrology class was in session
in the Bharateeya Vidya Bhavan on
24-9-1964, a.gentleman asked the editor
about the results of an interview he had
recently. On being asked to mention a
number within 108, he gave 72.
The following was the position of
planets on that day:

Lagna indicates the native, his health
and whether he will get a favourable reply
or not. Since die number given hy him is
72, one should divide it by V. IZ goes 7

- Some astrologers ask the" consultant to
give a number within 108 and they divide
number so given by 12. The remainder is
tak6n as the lagna counted from Mesha
'(Aries).. Thus if the reminder were to be
5, they would take the lagna as falling in
;Sitnha since it is the 5th sign counted froin
Mesha, and so on. The above method,
'in the editor's opinion, does not appear to
be rational and sound. If one is to'divide
the number within 108 by 12 and take the
remainder as the sign counted from Aries
(Mesha) on which the lagna falls, then one
cift asAVell'tSsk 'the cbnSbllanfto mention
straightway a number within 12 and fix the
lagna. If the number given is 1, then
Aries (Mesha) should be taken as . the
lagna ; if 2, then Taurus (Rishaba) is to be
fitted as the lagna, etc. What, then, is the
sanctity in asking for a number within
108?
Kalidas in his work 'Uttara Kalamritam'
suggests that a number within 108 should be
asked and the number so given should be
divided by 9 (divisor). The 'quotient
represents the number of signs from Mesha
that have elapsed and the remainder
represents the number of navamsas elapsed
in the sign on which the lagna falls.
The zodiac is divided into 27 equal
parts of 13 20' and each part is
named after a nakshatra or star or con-
stellation. Again each nakshtra is again
divided into four parts or'padas, each of
which extends to ^3 20'. Thus 9 padas
zodiac is divided into 108 equal parts.
Therefore the number given by the querist

In all cases, lagna indicates whether the
querist will be successful or he cannot
indicates what he has iji his raihd. What
"for has he ,put the1 question ? Moon is
otherwise called Mathi * or the mind.
Moon transits in a particular point in the
Zodiac when a person has the urge and he
puts the query at that mochent. Lagna is
ruled by Mars in the present casd and it is
in direct motion in the 9th sign and 8th
bhava. It is in the constellation of Saturn
which is retrograde. . Moon is in the 6lh
sign (5th bhava) and" in the constellation
of Venus. So, Moon is in the sign of
Mars and the constellation of Venus;
Mars is in Moon's,sign and Saturn's star..
"Whkt' dbiTs'iv^o'fr1 i'Adicaon/ in'tbe"
constellation of lord of- 12, indicates
that the querist desires have some
24
 change. !2th house is always for a change
and 7th indicates those with whom he
transacts. From his surroundings he
wants to have a change. That is indicated
by Moon. Venus, in whose constellation
the Moon was, forms a trine (120)
aspect with lagna; the lord of 7th does
not square but it forms a good aspect with
the ascendant. Therefore he and the officer
, (or the subordinate) with whom he is
moving are very -friendly to each other.
The conjunction of lord of Lagna and
lord of 7 also shows that they have good
understanding. Since lagnadhipathi is
Mars and it is in the constellation of.
Saturn who is retrograde, any proposal
that he makes will fall through. The
prayer is for a change which will not come
to pass. Further, lord of 11 is in the
constellation of lord of 12. His desires
will not be fulfilled now.
When, then, can the person come to
know of this fact ? On which day ?
The ruling planets today (24-9-1964) are
Jupiter (the lord of the day), Mars (the
lord of the ascendant and rasi) and Venus
(the lord of Bharani). Therefore the
combination of Jupiter, Mars and Venus
indicates the nuuire of the question. Only
at the time when the same three planets
operate again, the result will be known.
(Whenever a query is put at a particular
moment, note down the lord ruling the
day, the lord of the lagna, the lord
governing the star and the lord owning
the rasi. Jupiter, Mars and Venus are
thus the ruling planets, Jupiter represents
Thursday, Mars Tuesday, and Venus indi-
cates Friday. One cannot hear the news
on any other day except these three days).
Jupiter rules Punarvasu, Visakha and
Poorvabhadra (Poorattadhi) stars. Mars
rules Mrigasirisha, Chitra and Dhanishta
(Avittam). Venus is the lord of Bharani,
Poorvaphalguni and Poorvashada stars.
The day on which the native will receive
the order will be that day when any one of
the above stars will be transited by Moon
^by ,ephemeieJsOiQtian^ iTJieilagna^at tbat
moment will also be governed by Jupiter,
Mars and Venus. Lagna and Moon must
25
therefore be within the following longi-
tudes :
. (1) 13 20' to 26 40' of Aries (Mesha)
This portion called Barani is ruled
by Venus in Mars sign.
(2) 23 20' to 30 of Taurus (Rishaba
This portion called Mrigasirisha is
ruled by Mars in Venus sign.
(3) 0 to 6 40' of Libra (Thulam)
This portion is ruled by Mars in
Venus sign.
(4) 20 to 30 of Libra (Thulam)
This is ruled by Jupiter in Venus
sign. This portion is called Visakha.
(5) 0 to 3 20' of Scorpio (Vrischika)
This portion called Visakha is
ruled by Jupiter in Mars sign.
(6) . 13 20' to 26 40' of Sagittarius'
(Dhanus)
This portion is called Poorvashada'
and is ruled by Venus in Jupiter's
sign.
Therefore, even though there are three
stars for each planet, when one wants to
find out the exact position both the rasi
and the 5tar must he ruled by any 'T the
three. The; lagna also must fall in this
area. Moon must be in this area and Sun
too should transit in such a constellation.
Now one has before him a number of
alternatives. How, then, should one pitch-
up the date on which the matter will
materialise? As regards the time, one will
never receive the news at night Nobpdy
will go to office at that time. Also there
is no possibility of the orders being recei-
ved in the early morning before 8 A.M.
The expected orders will be received only
between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m.
Regarding the day, now you have got
many alternatives. The lord of lagna is
in Saturn's constellation. Therefore one
has to be careful in selecting the date. If
you select two days, either will come
.^currect JiGne. shcrald.>coridct.that parti-
colar rasi which does not receive the
Saturn's aspect. Saturn cannot aspect*
Sagittarius (Dhanus). So the matter can
materialise when Sagittarius 13 deg. 20
minntes to 26 deg. 40 minutes will be
transited by Sun, tbat is, the date on which
the orders would be received. Note where
the lagna has fallen at the time of query.
Lagna is in'Scorpio (Vrischika) which,
according to Hindu theory, receives the
aspect from Saturn, According to wester-
ners, the aspect is 72 degrees which is
favourable. When Sun transits in Dhanus
which is not aspected by Saturn, the
native will be informed . and on that
particular day his desires will be fulfilled.
Why? Because in Dhanus you have the
sub-portion of Mars in Venus* star Poor-
vashada in Jupiter's sign. Mars, being
the third ruling planet, one select Mars
sub. These three planets combine only at
18 degrees of Dhanus. When this position
is transited by Sun, the querist can have
his desires realised. The day happens to
be 2nd January, 1965. Moon is in Poor-
vashada on that day. It is also a New
Moon Day, i.e., Sun and Moon are both
in Poorvashada on that day. The native
will not be allowed to sever connection but
he will be retained, transferred and promo-
ted with increase in income and improve-
ment in status.
 ASPECTS AND THEIR SIGNIFICANCE
By
"Bala"
While examining a horoscope, various
elements have to be considered, analysed
and combined together with logical judg-
ment. Once the fundamentals, namely
the characteristics of the planets, the nature
of the twelve zodiacal signs, the matters
governed by the dififcreht houses (bhavas),
the quality of the aspects, etc., have been
well' comprehended, then the proper
analysis and application will assist the
astrologer to assess results accurately. No
satisfactory prediction can be offered
merely by memorising slokas or by bljndly
following the explanations given in various
text-books. Practice alone will make one
proficient.
Each house by itself signifies certain
affairs in one's chart. A planet placed in-, Zodiac is the belt of space in the skys
a house influences or activates the matters
embraced by the house ; in other words, it "ecliptic (Sun's apparent annual path,
shows whether the matters of the house
will flourish or fallaccording to the
planet's inherent nature, its adhipathyam
(ownership of houses in the horoscope)
and its occupation. Above all, it is very
important to include the rule that the
planet's results in a bhava are modified by
the lord of the constellation (star) in which
the planet was. Mostly, the results indi-
cated by the lord of the constellation
(what it indicates by rulership of houses)
will predominate.
A planet can throw light according to
its nature. But i^s colour is modified by
the lord of the sign and the lord of the
star in which it was. Actually the matters
indicated by the lord of the star will happen
during the period of the planet in that star.
The sign and the star are the containers. " with
The planet is the content. So milk in a
red glass tumbler will appear red like
blood. No^doilbt; nhe -cohtent^is-milk."-
But its colour changes due to that of the
27
container. Similarly, the results of the
planets will get modified or altered. There-
fore all these testimonies should be
properly correlated and synthesized.
Further the results.and indications are
modified by the strength and quality of the
aspect received by the planet. The aspect-
ing planet decides the change in the nature"
of the. result.
What is an aspect?
An aspect is " an angle formed on the
Earth by the beams of two planets"
(Kepler), The term is employed, in
Astrology, to refer to angular distance
measured in degree and minute of celestial
longitude between two points in the zodiac.
extending to 8 degrees on either side of the
around the Earth) in which the planets
travel, each in its respective orbit- Accord-
ing to westerners, aspects are formed bet-
ween two planets- or between a planet and
a point in the horoscope, as for instance
the cusp of a house (bhava), say Ascendant
M.C., etc. 'Cusp * may be defined as the
edge of a house, i.e., the exact beginning
of a house (which is also the end of the
previous house) reckoned in degree and
minute of celestial longitude. [The method
of calculating the cusps of houses using
the Raphael's Table of Houses has been
previously explained.]
Some angular distances produce results
which are effective.
A planet is considered to be in aspect
another planet or a sensitive point in
the zodiac only when it is away from the
planet or the sensitive point by a certain
longitudinal distance.
Planets are ever drcrfing in their brbits
in the zodiac and so aspects may be
 formed between them and the difference in
their longitudes will form a particular
aspect. That fs, at some time, in some
part of the zodiac, two planets may be
transiting at a particular distance from
each other and certain angles are formed
upon the earth by such relationship. It has
been found that these angles exert sdrhe
influence on those individuals, animates
or inanimates who are receptive to such
vibrations by reason of the fact that, at
their birth, vibrations of like nature were
in operation. The great scientist, Kepler,
whose three laws of planetary motion
formed the basis for Newton's theory of
gravitation, has this to say on influence of
the planetary aspects:
"The planets forming angles (aspects)
upon the Earth' by their luminous
beams, of strength to stir up the
virtue of sub-lunary things, have
compelled "-my -unwilling-belief (in
astrology)."
Systematic research spread over a long
period of time has revealed that the plane-
: tary vibrations cause chemical changes
in-the human organism having a bearing
on metabolism. TTcncc a thorough Study

Tijc Hindu theory
" According to the Hindu ^nges, the - degee of Mithuna in which cave ihcy
aspects (drishties) should be counted from
sign to sign, irrespective of the position of
the planets in the sign and the relative
:;distance between two plknets. Further,
the aspects the~mselves are neither decided - all.planets, namely the Sun, Moon, Mars,
as favourable nor unfavourable consider-
ing the longitudinal distance between them.
They depend mainly upon the natural
relationship" between the planets in aspect.
Also consider whether they are malefic or
benefic by nature and by lordship (adhi- . said and
pathyam). The aspect of a malefic planet
is said to be bad and the aspect of a bene-
fic is considered to be advantageous-

(Leo) lagna, then Kanya (Virgo) is the

second house to that native, Thulam
(Libra) is the third, and so on.
The ancients have declared that all
planets aspect the 7th house (here house
always means the sign) counted from the
signs occupied by them with a full eye.
Suppose two planets are placed in opposite
signs of the zodiac, as, for example.
Mercury in Mithuna (Gemini) and Jupiter
in Dhanus (Sagittarius), they are in the 7th
aspect to each other, ho matter what the
distance may be between the two.

It is possible that Mercury occupies the
3rd degree of Dhanus and Jupiter the 29th
degree of Mithuna when they would he at
a ciiiitance of i 54 degrees I'rera each other.
Or Mercury may he posileu in liic .mu

would be exactly 180 degrees away. It is
thus seen that the distance is likely to
vary from anything between 150 and 180
degrees. Thi^ 7th aspect is common to
Jupiter, Saturn, Mercury and Venus.
(Uranus and Nepture do not enter into the
Hindu calculations at all.)
Besides the 7th aspect, all planets are
to cast a quarter glance over the 3rd
10th houses from the one occupied by
them, but Saturn's 3rd and 10th aspects
are stronger than even its 7th aspect.
Similarly, Jupiter is full with its rays over
the 3th and 9ih houses from the one occu-
pied by it,'and these aspects are more
houses from their respective positions but
with a half glance. Mars, in addition to
 his ?tti aspect, looks at the 4th and 8th
houses from it. These 4th and 8th aspects
of Mars are more powerful than its 7th1
aspect. The rest of the planets have only
a three-fourth aspect over the 4th and the
8th houses.
Mantreswara mentions in "Phaladee-
pik^*' Jsloka 9, Adhyaya IV) that the 7th
aspect .is^ the only one that should be
declared as most effective in all cases and
not so the rest, but others are of the view
thaU the special aspects of Saturn, Mars
and Jupiter are in no way less efficacious.
(Refer V. Subrahmanya Sastd's trans-
lation.)
It 'has been further stated that planets
do not aspect the 2nd, the Uth, the 12th
and the 6th houses' reckoned from the one
occupied by tbem. (Uttara Kalamritam,
sloka 17, Khanda II);
..When two planets are combioed in one
house (sign), 7 they are taken to be in con-
junction. In sloka _ 32, khanda IV, of
Uttara Kalamritam, Kalidas makes it
clear that a conjunction can occur only
when the planets are within' the range of
12 degrees from each other.

Kethu placed in Dhanus (Sagittarius).
Whenever a planet aspects a house and
the planet or planets occupying the said -
house, then one should combine the
results indicated by the house under consi-
deration, the sign in whihh the house is
and the planet or planets posited therein
by nature and by lordship and the lords
of the nakshatra and sub-portion of the
nakshatra in which the planet was. The
resultant indications should be modified
by the strength and quality of the aspect
thrown, what the aspecting planets shows
by its nature and by lordship.
Referring to the chart taken for illustra-
tion, it is noticed that Jupiter, lord of
3 and 12, occupying the 8th house Simha-
(Leo) aspects, by its 5th aspect, Dhanus
(Sagittarius) 12lh house and Kethu placed
in it. The 12th house Dhanus is also
aspectcdby Mars, lord of 4 and 11, by the
4th aspect and by Sahnn lord of 1 and 2,
by the lOlh a<pe''i Therefore, while
considcrating. what ICetlui indicates by his
occupation of the I2lh house, the aspects
formed by Guru (Jupiter, Bnhaspathi),-
Saturn (Sani) and Mars (Mangal) would
also have to be taken into account. Nbw,
the 2nd house in the chart,- Kumba*
(Aquarius) is unoccupied. It gets the
Jupiter's 7th aspect and there is no other,
.aspect to it. In judging the second house
matters, one must bear the Jupiter's aspect
in mind, what he would give as a bcnefic by
nature and as lord of the 3rd and the 12th
houses occupying the 8th house. Saturn as
ruler of the 2nd house will also influence
the affairs governed by that house.
If we examine the above horoscope,
according to the western method, we will,
get more accurate results. Let us presume
that Mars is urthe Uth degree of Kanni
and Kethu in the 11th degree of Dhanus,
M.e., exactly'^O "degrees ffbm 'each- other,
and Guru and Kethu are 108 degrees away
 (Guru being in 23 degree of Simha). The
angle of 108 degree is considered to be
good and conducive to beneficial results
according to westerners. But Mars and
Kethu are just 90 aparta square
aspect. Applying the Hindu theory, we
conclude that Kethu is in a, kendra posi-
tion to Mars and is also a^pected by the
latter by its.powerful 4th aspect. Western
astrologers, on the other hand, aver that
the squareaspect, especially between two
malefics,-portrays evil for matters indica-
ted by them according to their occupation
and rulership of houses. If, however,
Mars-had been, in Kanya 1st degree,
and Kethu in Dhanus 29th degree then
they show beneficial results being at a
distance of 118 which is within the
range of trine.aspect, a very .favourable
one. It will be observed that the same
two planets posited in Kanni and Dhanus
give out varying results when at different
"distafices "frdm'Vach" other without any
"change whatever in their sign position,
.Hindu aspects,jin the author's view, only
modify the sign to which the aspect is
^thrown' and the characteristics of the
Laspected, planet and does., not denote
^whether the result is favourable or un-
favourable. The western system of aspect;;,
on the contrary, clearly dcrrioristratc
whether the outcome will be good or bad
T according as the aspect is benign or
adverse. The author feels that the western
system of aspects hould be studied and
used so" as to arriv at accurate predic-
.. tions. ' to the natural tendency of a planet. What
i. - . " " Western aspects
^ Aspects are grouped into good and evil
in this system, depending on the nature of
^the action or the responses they produce,
"in other words, whether they are favour-
. able. or unfavourable from a material
standpoint. The good and beneficial
aspects produce" what is often called ' good
feeling' meaning that they are pleasing to
our sensibilities. They stand for progres--
sions, harmony and concord. On the other
hand, the unfavourable aspects give our
sensory nerves-a stfmuhfs^causing an ud-
pleasant attitude and the resulting motor
discharges in the mind and body produce
unpleasant feeling. They arc therefore
adverse in nature denpting discord and
disharmony. Rightly understood, the good
aspects harmonise with our idea of what
is good and evoke a favourable response
in the mind and body and the adverse
v ones conflict with our idea of what is good
and as such provoke reactions of an un-
desirable nature.
The various zbdical aspects applied in
the West are enumerated below :
Major aspects
(1) Conjunction (same degree and
minute of celestial longitude). This is
good or adverse according as the planets
connected are benefic or malefic by nature
and by adhipathya. It is considered to
be productive of immense good between
benefic planets and, on the same analogy,
malignant between malefics. If a cod junc-
tion occurs between two planets of which
one is a benefic and the other a malefic,
then it is said4 that the benefic is bereft to
offer much of its beneficial results. The
malefic also similarly loses much of its
malignancy by, virtue of its association
with the benefic.
Jupiter, Venus, unalllictcd Mercury and
Vvumuu Muuii aie clashed as natural benc-
hes, Sun, Mars, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune,
Rahu and Kethu are termed to be natural
malefics. But westerners include Sun also
as a benefic. ' The author suggests that too .
much importance should not be attached
is more important is whether the planet is
a benefic or malefic by adhipathya since
the results shown by iordship will be
more pronounced, A planet is a benefic
by owning houses I, 4, 5, 9 and 10 in the
chart. If it owns the 3rd, 6th, 8th or the
12th then it is evil. . Two and eleven are
auspicious for finance -and family. Two
and seven are harmful for longevity.
(2) Parallel of Declination (same*
degree and minute of declination occupied,
by two heavenly bodies) : It is similar in
nature to conjunction and shows the same
result
Two or more planets may be at the
same distance from and on the same side
30
of the celestial equator, or one north and
the other south of the celestial equator
but at equal distance from the celestial
equator.' They are then in P (parallel is the
only aspect not measured in celestial
longitude. Truly speaking it is a position,
and not an aspect, and regarded as an
aspect for facility of reference).
Here is an illustration. Let/US assume
that Jupiter and Mars are in 18 degree
North Declination (shown in the Ephe-
meris as ' N' under the column ' Declina-
tion') oV both are in the same degree, i.e.,
18 of South Declination (shown in the
Ephemeris by the letter/S ') or one is in 18
North and the other in 18 South. When
they are so situated,they are deemed to be
in rapt or exact parallel. Theparallel be-'
ing equal to a conjunction in effect, in
judging its results, it must be noted whether
the planets under consideration are malefic
or benefic. It is good between benefics
and unfavourable between male&cs, as
already stated.
^ It is uncommon^ that two planets
occupy the same degree and minute of
declination as given in the foregoing
example. They may be within the orbit
of 1 degree of the. exact parallel np fo
which the inllucncc of the parallel prevails.
In such an event, they will still be consi-
dered to be in parallel, whether it be a
parallel in the process of formation or
one in the process of dissolution. Suppose
Saturn is traced in 10 deg. North Decli-
hatidh and Moon in 10 degrees 45 minu-
tes of South Declination. The distance
between them being 45 minutes of decli-
nation, there is clearly no exact parallel
aspect between them, but yet they are
within the' orb or influence, allowed for
parallel which is 1 degree. Therefore,
they are in platic or wide parallel..
How to arrive at the. true declination
of planets for the time of birth?
The declinations of the planets, Sun,
Moon, Mars, Venus, Mercury, Saturn,
Jupiter,^yranus^oc!jHefscheJ.aiid.Npptun?
.-r 'should
wili be available in any Ephemeris brPan-
chang. It is advisable to follow the
Raphael's Astronomical Ephemeris for
horoscope-ca^jng, since it is the most
31
accurate. In this Ephemeris, the decli-
nations of Sun and Moon for every day
and of the other planets for every alter-
nate day of the month are entered; From
this,it is easy to compute the planets' true
declinations at the moment of birth. This
will have to be done in ,the same manner
as obtaining their longitude, taking care
to note whether the declination is increa-
sing (mo.ving away from the celestial
equator) or decreasing'(moving towards
the celestial equator) between the two days
taken fot the purpose. Thus, if the decli-
nation is decreasing, it should be taken
as though the planet is retrograde and the
true declination of the planet at birth can
be arrived at by subtracting from the
declination given for the first day the
amount of motion from that day to the
moment of birth. If the declination be
increasing, then add the declinational
motion for the interval up to birth
to the declination shown for the first
day. >
Take the following .instance. A birth
occurred at 5-30 a.m. on 5-1-1963. Now
take the Raphael's Ephemeris for the year-
1963 and turn over to the page for the
month of January. Suppose one wants to
rind out .the true declination of, say,
Jupiter at birth. It should be remembered
that the Raphael's Ephemeris gives the
longitudes and declinations of the planets
for noon at Greenwich, England, which
equals 5-30 p.m. in Indian Standard Time.
The declination of Jupiter is available in
the Ephemeris for the dates 3-1-1963 and
5-1-1963 (5-30. p.m- I-S.T). Since the birth
occurred between these two dales, these
two dates ha^e to be taken for our calcu-
lation. The declination of Jupiter^is,,
given to be 5 deg." 40 minutes South
on 3rd January and 5 deg. 32 minutes
South on 5th January; Subtracting one
from the other, the motion in 48
hours is obtained ; then, by propor-
tion, the motion'for ,thc interval upto
birth can be worked out. Since the decli-
nation is seen decreasing, the declina-
tional motion for the. interyal up to birth
be shbtrhcteiT'fromThe declinatidh !
entered for 3-1-1963 to arrive at the true j
declination of Jupiter at birth.

day. ,
Kethu was in Mars sign conjoined with
Mars and Venus with Mars in Venus'

sents Mars and Venus. Rahu is aspected
by the 3rd aspect of Saturn. Hence Kethu

Saturn and Mars caused the accident.

Characteristics : Yours will be a blend-

will be cheerful, amiable, agreeable and
moderately ambitious. You will never be
avaricious. You will not exert too much.
You will be persevering and working
patiently.. But you will enjoy during your
work. You will always desire to lead an
easy life. You are very slow to anger.
You take decisions quickly, as neither
Moon nor Mercury is ihe ruling planet.
. Saturn shows that you are a gentleman,
not having loose-talk, not carrying tales
but capable of keeping secrets. Conjunc-
tion of Venus and Mars, lords of 1 and 7,
show that you will lead a happy and
harmonious life. You will receive assist-
ance from others whenever needed and you
'will nlsb hSlp' At her 6 ata m om ca 11 .-v.'
As the ascendant is a fixed sign you will
have a strong will, not yielding to other's
33
influence; you will not be carried away by
other's suggestions, views or instruction.
Venus aspected by Jupiter shows that you
will be broad minded, cheerful and sym-
pathetic. You will be very liberal. You will
have peace of mind, will be level-headed
and,will act calmly. You will have the
desire to enjoy all the fruits of life in this
world. You will wish to spend time with
wife and children.
Your peaceful and feminine tendency
due to Venus, lord of jagna, is toned up by
the conjunction of the fiery planet, Mars,
and also by the quality of the sign Aries
in which Venus was, at the time of birth,
You will be upright in your manners and
you will wish to lead a healthy and happy
life,with your wife. Honesty, good faith,
loyalty, veracity, constancy and trustwor-
thiness are the chief traits.
As Taurus, Rishaba, is the second sign
of the Zodiac and as it is aspected by
Saturn, a Rajayoga adhipathi to you, you
will be careful in money matters. You
may invest money on ornaments, luxury
goods, furniture and antiques,: you will be
practical.

LongevityVenus the lord of lagna,
occupying the sign of Mars promises
immunity from and resistance' against
infectious diseases, offers robust health and
long span of life as it is in its own
constellation.
Lord of 8 is Jupiter. By owning the 8th
house, Jupiter is not harmful for longevity ;
(Uthra Kalamritham written by Kalitias).
It is in trine to its own Sign Sagittarius
(Dhanus) and aspects the 8th house. If a ,
planet, owning a particular sign, occupies -
such a house, so that it can throw favour-'
able aspect to its own sign, it strengthens '
, the matters indicated by if. As the 8th
Hb"dse,sh6'ws lo"D^vTi"Vrjl^Jup,ltEr^ the lord-.'-
of 8 is in friend's quarters and aspects the,
8th house all matters governed by the 8th
 house get strengthened ; so Jupiter assures
the native a long life.
Lord of 3 (as the third house is the 8th
to the 8th) is ruled by Moon and is also in
trine to its own Sign CancerKataka, and
is in the constellation of the Eka-Raja-
yoga-adhipathi Saturn, it also promises a
long span of life.
Hence long life'isassured. That is you
have Poorna Ayush, i.e., more than
years 66|.
Which will affect longevity?.
Your birth was in a fixed sign. , So the
lord of 9 is the Bhadhaka-Sthana-Adhi-
pathi. Hence Saturn, the lord, of 9, is
evil-
[It is necessary to clearly understand the
contradictory statement Once it is
considered as Rajayoga adhjpathi and
again it is-taken as evil due-to its lordship
- as Bhadakah Sthana-adhipathi. The correct
interpretation is that,
(a) Saturn will give very favourable
-.results during Saturn sub-periods, provided
-the dasanatha is not in 6 or 8 or 2 to
'Saturn, so that Saturn is not in 8 or 6 or
12 to dasanatha.
(b) Saturn will also contribute for your
end in its sub-period or sub-sub-pcriod
Lafteryou have lived as many.years as. is
indicated by other planets. Therefore, if a
planet has to cause yoga and it has to
affect longevity, one will enjoy his life in
-a-fewsub-periods of the planet and even
in its oum dasa runaing for many, years,
r-bui fiually . it will lay its icy hand in its
sub-sub'period. So Saturn is a signifi-
cator.
There is no Kendhradhipathya Dhosham
for people born in Taurus (Rishaba Lagna)
as neither" Veniispiox Jupiter, nor Mercury
por the .waxing moon owns the hduse 4, 7
or 10.
As houses 1, 8 and 3 indicate longievity
and the twelfth house to any house is the
negation of the matters of the house, the
'12thvto Lagna,'the 12th to 8, and 12th to
the 3rd axe negative to the matters indica-
ted by the houses 1, 8 and 3. Hence 12,
34
2 and 7 are the houses which indicate the
end of life-s-Maraka.
Lord of 12 is Mars ; Venus and Kethu
occupy that sign.
Lord of 2 is Mercury. It is in the 10th
house in Jupiter's constellation, aspected
by'Jupiter and Saturn, *
Lord of 7 is Mars. It is in the constella-
tion of lord of 1 and 6.
Hence Mars is the strongest significator.
Then note the planets which are under, the
sway of Mars ; that is find out the constel-
lations of Mars and the planets occupy-
ing those constellations.
Mars' stars are Mrigasirisha, Chithra
and Dhanishta.
No planet is in Mrigasirisha.
Rahu is in Chithrai star,
None is in Dhanishta.
Hence Rahu is evil. Further, Rahu is'
aspected by Bhadhaka Sthana adhipathi
Saturn^ and Marakasthana adhipathi Mars.
Therefore Mars, Rahu and Saturn are
the three significators.
After nearly 66 years you will enter
into Mars dasa.
Hence, end of life will be cither during
Mars dasa, Rahu Bhukti, Saturn anthra or
Mars dasa, Saturn Bhukti, Rahu anthra,
i.e., May 1992 or October, 1994.
According to progression, calculate and
find out which of the above two periods
agrees with such an evil aspect which can
end one's life. In 1992 MaySun forms
semi angular aspect with Venus, the lord
of the Ascendant, and Sun progresses in
Lagna Dhava. In~May 1992 Moon pro-
gresses in the Sixth Bhava and forms quin-
cunx aspect with Sun. Sixth house
indicates ill health. Sun is the life-giver.
Both the luminaries forming good aspect
will offer health. Quincunx aspect means
- Sashta, ashtama, i.e., 150 aspect, so health
will fail.
When the aspects of all planets in pro-
gression are taken, then Venus, lord of the
Ascendant, square^ (90) Neptune in 1992 ;
Sun formSj.semi-angular with the lord of
Ascendant on one side with Venus and
semi-angular (45 aspect) with Neptune on
the other side.
According to Gocharam,
(a) Jupiter is in Leo and is in retrograde
motion, squaring Ascendant. . It
will be s'tationary.
(b) So also Saturn in direct motion
becomes stationary in May 1992 in
Capricorn and squares the lord of
the Ascendant.
(c) Rahu transits in Scorpio, Kethu
comes to TaurusRishaba. Kethu
nears the Ascendant, and is acually
in Mars' star Mrigasririsha and
Saturn sub whereas Bbukti natha
Rahu is in Mercury (Maraka-
sthana adhipathi, lord of 2) star
and Saturn (Bhadhaka- sthana
adhipathi sub).
^Sun by transit will conjoin Mars,
Moon may be in Mars star, Saturn sign
Dhanishta or Saturn's star Mars' sign
Anuradha.
Therefore mostly during Krishna
Paksha in the beginning (around the 1st)
of May 1992 health will fail. So the
planets promise long life at least till 1st
May 1992.
Health
Ascendant indicates one's health: the
connections to the Ascendant show
whether one will maintain health, enjoy
robust health or will be a weakling suscep-
tible to 'diseases even if he exposes him-
self mildly. It also denotes whether one
has enough of immunity and resistance
against infectious diseases.
6th house indicates the disease from
which one will suffer off and on during
the periods of unhealthy planets; also the
nature of the ailment, duration, etc.
^.~8thv1}pv$e*ipdicates the dangei", the fatal
disease, the place whefre it will happen and
the cause of death. ' Also it indicates who
35
will survive whom; i.e., whether the
native will outlive his wife or vice versa.
(a) Lagna is not occupied by any planet.
But it is aspected by Sani. Hence during
the sub-period of Saturn, there will be ,the
ailment. Further, Saturn aspects the 6t
housethe Bhava for disease. Hence
Saturn weakens the system,
(b) Lord of Lagna is in a fiery Sign,
conjoined with Mars and is aspected by1
Jupiter. Generally good aspect between
Jupiter and Mars shows robust health,
good in out-door games and improvement
in one's vitality.
[One need not feel that the statement is
contradictory and confusing. One may
ask, what is this? Lagna .afflicted by
Saturn shows predisposition to disease
and weak health I Lagha adhipathi, lord
of Lagna, has good connections; so
good health; What to take? How' to
predict? etc. .The correct method of
judgment will be that during the periods
of Mars Jupiter, you, will have exercise,
Yoga (as Saturn is conjoined with Jupiter)1
and thereby you will maintain good health.!
But during the period of Saturn, you cannot
have regular practice; there will be
hindrance and obstacles: you will not
have the mind to attend to your health.
Depending on the dasu-lord and other
connections, it will affect the health.
Therefore^ predict good health in Jupiterj
and Mars sub-periods and ill-health during
Saturn's sub-period.
Further, benefics in the 6lh house will
be propitious to have rapid cure after
any ailment, whereas malefics cause ill-j
health and prolong the period of illness ir
it is Saturn, sharp and acute if it is Mars
Rahu and Kethu offer according to their,
connections with other planets.
From Moon sign,* Jupiter and" Saturn
are in 6,' So Saturn will cause the disease
during its period.
6th house is for disease. Its lord is
,Venus:,Jiahu. ;n LibraThulam, has to
give thev results cu VbnlisT Hen e Rahu
is a malefic to health.
 the lord of Lagna is also the
lord of 6, generally one falls ill due to his
previous Karma. Even if he tries to
avoid it, he cannot. It is only a trouble
invited by him during its period by
neglecting hygiene, etc.]
' AsKethu is conjoined with V.enus andas
the nodes offer the results of the planets
with which they are conjoined, Kethu
is to act as a powerful agent of Mars and
Venus.
Hence Kethu is evil.
Mars as lord of 12 shows hospitalisation,
or confinement to bed.
Therefore Mars, Venus, Kethu, Rahu
and Sani, depending on the progression
and Gochararo(Transit) results, they have
to give disease. The nature of the disease
depends on the combination of the planets
ruling at the time.
The following dates would have been
evil and in future the following dates
show unhealthy time.

person, nor will they encourage others to
do so. If they mentionwhich they in-
variably and unknowingly doany evil

 MOLES AND THEIR MEANING
Benefic: Jupiter or Venus or lOlercury
or Waxing Moon in the 3rd, house gives
a mole in .the upper part of the ear,
whereas malefics ra the third house
produce a mole in the lower tip of the
ear.
Hindu sages declare that benefics occu-
pying any of the Upachaya Sthanas (3,
6, 10 or U) will cause Vasumathi* yoga
and produce independent persons with
courage and confidence. They ate blessed
with plenty of wealth.
It will be true only when
(a) the planets in Upachaya Sthanas
do not form evil aspect with the ascendant
(the cusp); i.e., the longitudinal distance
between the degree of the ascendant and
that of the planet is not exactly divisible
by 22J. [Such a relative position is
considered to be adverse].
(b) the constellation in which the
planets were at the time of birth,.is not
governed by lords of 6 or 8 or 12; and
(c) No malefic planed is conjoined
with, or no malefic aspects the benefics in
the third house.
Only in such cases, the moles will be
found in the upper part of the ear.
In Nadi readings, consulted by a few , or
people " who were born in very rich
families, it is found that they were born
rich, as Vasumathiyoga is found in the
horoscope of the native. One gentleman,
who had a mole in the right ear, had
Jupiter in the 3rd house, and was born
to a rich person. Though he had not
amassed wealth by his efforts, the value
of his permanent possessions has, gone up
so high and the returns from them are
thereby increased and he is one of .the
richest in Madras State.
In the. case of ordinary persons, having
the. mole in the upper portion of the
ear, they will surely have free flow of
money and will not have any pressure

natural benefics should occupy the third
house. The editor is of strong opinion
that planets, whether malefic or benefic by
nature, if they own beneficial signs or if
they have to cause Rajayoga and if they
form good aspect to Lagna by occupying
the 3rd house, they also will be able to
have satisfactory bank position. The^

scheme as soon as the dasa of the planet
in the Srd house has commenced. That

SthanaSahaya means ' assistance *.
Wherefrom does one receive the aid? It
is because of . his meritorious deed in the

such a position, and the timely help he
receives is attributed to his luck and is

Therefore moles in the car arc said to
be fortunate one day or the other, sooner

caused it.
If malefics occupy the third house, the
mole will be in the lower tip of the ear.
This does not threaten any loss of money
or honour but danger to life by drowning.
Sudden'tragic end is portended. Therefore,
during the period of the malefic in the 3rd
house, try tp keep off the water; avoid
