These are said to be ‘mathematical points but the author’s own experience has been that predictive astrology would not have been complete without these two points. Their results in predictive astrology really shows the mastery over mathematics that our sages had and how they used this to predict the future. Possibly the next generation of scientists may be able to do some more research into this but you can be sure that the results they reach will be the same as that reached by our sages. The purpose behind this statement is not to deride science and scientists but to bring to light the fact that in the garb of doing research, people are spending huge sums of money and reaching the same conclusion Vedic Nadi Astrology and Career 5 reached by our sages. Would it not be simpler to work on the same conclusions and try to build upon the theory left behind by our sages? But this would mean that we are more capable than our sages which in the present age seems to be a laughable. proposition. 4, Planetary Karakatwas Planets Characteristics 1. Sun Represents the sou! of the native. Also represents God/governmenv/father/king/ sons. He is capable of giving power to the native if powerful. 2. Moon Represents mother or mother in law (for a female). Also represents artistic features, watery places, quick movement, cheating ‘and most important -the mind of the native. The reason why Hindu astrology is more accurate than other systems is that emphasis is laid on the mind governing planet and it is by now well understood that the mind is the cause of action or inaction. . Mars Represents ego, fire, weapons, police, arrogance and brother. Also represents hhusband in a female chart and stands for marriage in all charts. 4. Mercury Represents intellectual capacity, speech, education, lands, friends, maternal uncle, accounts, law.6 Vedic Nadi Astrology and Career Planets: Characteristics 5. Jupiter Represents judge, teacher, wisdom (as ‘opposed to education), learning, prestige, status, religion, 6. Saturn Profession and karma. 7. Venus Wife, treasure, money, wealth, immovable property, voice, sisters. 8. Rahu Grandfather, muslims, deviant behaviour, quest for uniqueness and independence, shady but mammoth transactions, masking ability. 9. Kethu Law, lawyers, religion, renunciation, Christianity, thread, obstructions, clandestine activity. The above is an illustrative list of the karakatwas and these are generally enough to predict about profession. 5, Friendships and Enemity In our analysis, we have found that the following represents the friendships and enemity relations between plane! Planet Friendship Enemity Sun Mars, Moon, Mercury Saturn, Venus, Jupiter Nodes, Vedic Nadi Astrotogy and Career 7 Planet Friendship Enemity Moon — Mars, Sun, Jupiter, Mercury. Saturn, Venus and Nodes. Mars Sun, Moon, Jupiter, Ketha Saturn, Mercury, Venus. Rahu, Mercury Sun, Rahu, Satum Jupiter, Moon, Venus. Kethu, Mars. Jupiter Sun, Moon, Saturn, Mars, Venus, Mercury. Rahu and Kethu. Venus Satu, Mercury, Rahu, Mars Jupiter, Sun, Moon, Kethu. Saturn Venus, Mercury, Jupiter, Rahu Sun, Moon, Mars, Kethu. The peculiarity that you will find in the above arrangement is that Moon in traditional texts is said not to have any enemies but we have incorporated 4 enemies. We wish to clarify that our experience shows that Moon is not comfortably placed with the four planets outlined above. Likewise, Venus and Mars have been shown as friends. This is because they work very well in combination albeit to the detriment of the individual. For example, thier combination in one zodiac will portend excessive desire for sex. Both the planets denote this and work well in combination to satisfy this need but the individual's health gets affected. Conventionally this is seen as giving bad results, but8 Vedic Nadi Astrology and Career the planets are seen to be co-operating with cach other. Therefore, from the angle of the native they are enemies but from the angle of the planets per se, they are friends. Though. wwe have indicated that Mercury is a friend of Moon, we often see this combination give affairs outside the regular system of marriage and also the native is exceptionally intelligent. Therefore, friendship or enemity by itself is no sure guide to Judge the worth of the individual. You will also note that we are not departing from the Parasari principles but looking at the chart from a different angle which occasions this realignment. Vedic Nadi Astrology and Career 9 CHAPTER IL INTERPRETING CHARTS Introduction This note will give the readers the approach being used in this book and every chart may be read in this manner to delineate the results of whatever subject we wish to enquire. a) First of all, the basic characteristics of the chart must be analysed. The lagna and lagnadhipathi must be seen for the strength or otherwise of the chart. The combination of planets must be carefully studied. The results of Saturn combining with Mars are significantly different from Saturn combining with Venus. b) Sce the interaction between the karakatwa you want to study and other planets that are posited in relation to it. For example, while studying education, study how Mercury is placed in the chart and the various interactions it has with other planets. ©) The results of the basic characteristics as arrived at in the above steps will be felt during the transit of Saturn and Jupiter, two of the important planets and the two shadowy slow moving planets, Rahu and Kethu. Jupiter represents10 d °) Vedic Nadi Astrology and Career the self and Saturn represents the karma. Therefore, Jupiter will give your personal results according to the sign he transits and the aspects he receives. It will be as if you are yourself walking through the zodiac sign. On the other hand, ‘Satur will represent karma and will denote the activity you will be involved in, His transit in the sign will bring about effects as regards your karma according to the basic characteristics of your chart. The age of the person would also have to be kept in mind, Aspects of planets must be considered. In conventional astrology, Jupiter has Sth and 9th aspects besides the 7th aspect. Similarly, Satur has 3rd and 10th aspect besides the 7th aspect and Mars has 4th and 8th aspect besides the 7th aspect. All other planets have only the 7th aspect. In our analysis, we utilise the following additional principles: i, Planets located in the same direction results in one combination. This is derived from the Parasari “principle of dividing the zodiac signs into directions as detailed in Chapter I. For example, Planets located in Aries, Leo and Saggitarius will form one combination, Planets located in Capricorn, Taurus and Virgo will form ‘one combination. Planets located in Libra, Aquairus and Gemini will form one combination and planets located in Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces will form one combination This is because these four sets form four different directions. Vedie Nadi Astrology and Career 1 Example No.1 Moon | Rahu Mars | Jupiter Lagna Sun RASI Mercury Satum ® Kethu | Venus If we want to study education, we will have to take the planet Mercury. Mercury is placed in a fiery sign Leo. In the other signs denoting the eastern direction, are Saturn and Rahu which are friends of Mercury. Moreover, Leo is aroyal sign. This will form one combination and will have to be kept in mind as we proceed with our analysis. ii, Planets in the 12th will push the planet under consideration and will also indicate comfort levels for the planet under consideration and planets in the 2nd cooperate or obstruct the planet under consideration. In ‘our example chart, Mercury has in the 12 th the royal2 Vedic Nadi Astrology and Career and friendly planet Sun. In the 2nd sign, is located Mercury's friend Venus. Mercury has no aspect from any planet in the 7th house from it iii. See the planets located in the opposite direction also, In our example, Mercury is located in the East and we find Jupiter located in the West. That means, Jupiter and Mercury are facing each other. Taking our example chart, the cumulative effect of this is that Mercury is inafiery sign aspected by Rahu and Saturn denoting hard work. Fiery signs give engineering or factory related Jearning. Since, the 12th and 2nd houses have friendly planets to Mercury, no obstructions are seen for the native in getting lucated. Moreover, Jupiter in the West is always there to help out the native's education. The royal planet Sun located in the 12th pushes Mereury forward towards Venus. This means, the education is going to lead to wealth. In fact, the native was pushed by his father (Sun) to go for studies since no other person studied in the family. These studies helped him get ajob in a factory through which he earned a decent sum of money. iv. Retrograde planets will have to be studied taking the previous sign also into account. In our example chart above, Saturn is, retrograde and we will have to judge the results by considering the fact that Saturn is located in Scorpio also since he is going back to that sign from Sagittarius, — v. Exalted and debilitated planets will certainly give differing results. This is also taken from Parasari principles only and there is nothing unique in this approach, “ ‘Vedic Nadi Astrology and Career B Other interesting features of the example chart a) Jupiter represents the self and Sun represents the father. Since Jupiter is just behind Sun with no planets in between, the native will have good relationship with his father. b) Since Satum is aspected by Jupiter, the person will be wedded to his work and will gain respect. However, since Jupiter is in turn aspected by Saturn, he will have to work hard in this life. c) Since Moon has enemy planet Rahu in the second who will be moving anticlockwise, his relationship with his mother will not be satisfactory. d) Since Mars comes into contact with Jupiter first, he will have a happy married life. e) Since Jupiter and Kethu are located in one direction, the native (Jupiter) will be religious minded but a man of few words. 6) Since Jupiter is between Mars and Sun, the person will possess bad temper. Sun and Mars give egoistic tendencies. In this manner, we can easily delineate the chart from its basic characteristics without going into detailed housewise analysis. This is not meant to deprecate house wise analysis but is only a presentation of an alternative way of analysing. For example, if you want to study in the example chart the position of the sons/ daughters of the native, housewise analysis will give you an excellent picture. Jupiter’s location in the fifth gives children who ate better placed than the native. The fifth house from lagna4 Vedic Nadi Astrology and Carcer and moon are occupied by male planets - in fact, the native had ‘no daughters but only sons. Therefore, we must try to judge the horoscope from various angles before coming to conclusions and a holistic approach to do the same would be better. ate oo Vedic Nadi Astrology and Career 1s Chapter II ANALYSING PROFESSION/BUSINESS PROSPECTS 1. Introduction In studying profession, we can look at the 10th house for our analysis. However, it has to be remembered that while the 10th house denotes profession/business/activity, the second house has a say on the means of earnings. Moreover, the 1th house has a say on the gains or profits. Also, the 7th house (being the 10th from the 10th house) will also have a tremendous say on the prospects of business. Therefore, merely analysing the tenth house is not going to help one. In this chapter, we begin by first analysing the basic characteristics of the signs involved. Next, we analyse the effect of Satur in various signs of the zodiac. Then, we shall analyse the effect of combinations of Saturn with other planets. 2. Characteristics of the Signs a) ARIES ‘The sign Aries is the first sign of the zodiac and is owned by Mars. It represents great activity as per our definition in Chapter 1. This is a sign which creates dynamic and energetic people.

The ruler being Venus, this sign is capable of giving artistic tendencies to the native. This sign is a very practical sign (being an earthy sign). ) GEMINI This is an airy and intellectual sign. The third sign of the zodiac stands for communication. Therefore, activities that involve communication, writing, reading, poetry, learning, research, and analysis are associated with this sign. This is consistent with the Karakatwa of Mercury. Itis also capable of giving accountants and auditors with a bent for legal study especially in taxation matters. This mercurial sign is more prone to give intellectual professions rather than business tendencies, d) CANCER Cancer is a watery sign and noted for people who are capable of housekeeping.

It can also give rise to people interested in occult studies both for the good and the bad. Being Mars’ sign, machinery and metals are also associated with it though toa lesser extent than Aries. The native is capable of getting secret knowledge if planets such as Ketu are associated with this sign. Ketu is also known for clandestine activity and that is why it exalts in this sign. i) SAGITTARIUS A fiery sign ruled by Jupiter. Being a fiery sign, sportsmen and lawyers come in this sign. Jupiter's positive quality gives advisers. This sign is capable of giving tremendous businesslike approach to any profession though the native may not do any business. j) CABRICORN This is a movable sign ruled over by Saturn.

This sign gives fa penchant to pursue some old and ancient study besides the regular profession of the native. Being anorth direction sign, it gives arise to religious activity more in tune with Jupiter's quality ‘Therefore, it may not Jead people to the bad sides of occultism byitself. 3, LOCATION OF SATURN IN VARIOUS SIGNS: a) ARIES In this sign, Satum is debilitated. It will be noted that Saturn transits this sign once in 30 years for two and ahalf years, Does this mean that those born in those two and a half years cannot do any worthwhile work? The answer is an obvious no. Aries stands for machinery and metals and therefore, Saturn's location here normally means activity related to factories, machinery, ‘metals etc. Itis also observed that engineers also possess Saturn in Aries. The nature of profession would depend on the planets aspecting and interacting with this planet.20 ‘Vedic Nadi Astrology and Career b) TAURUS Since this sign signifies treasury, Saturn's location here points {0 vocations in finance related matters. The person may be employed in commercial concems, doing money lending activity or banking or taking care of custodial functions, ¢) GEMINI Since this sign signifies intellectual activity, Satum’s location here gives activities related to communciation, accountancy, and auditing.

Trading, real estate, broking are related to this sign. The person would be very practical in his business approach and would be able to achieye considerable Vedic Nadi Astrology and Career a success in business involving tact and skill. This is a good position for worldly prosperity. g) LIBRA ‘Saturn exalts here and this position is capable of giving strong professions unless Saturn is dispossesed by enemy planets such as Ketu and Mars, Lawyers and judges are known to have Saturn located in Libra. However, lawyers will have the combination of Satur, Mercury, Venus and or Ketu while judges will have the combination of Saturn, Mercury, Jupiter or Ketu. This is so because Jupiter's aspect is necessary in order to have powers to discriminate which is more essential for judges than lawyers. (this does not mean that lawyers have no discriminating powers). Apart from this, we find even movie actors and artistes having Saturn located in this sign. If Jupiter or Venus or Mercury were to be located alongwith or in the 2nd house or in a trine or in the ‘7th house to Satum, the person will be capable of enjoying a very comfortable profession with regular flow of money. h) SCORPIO ‘Satur’s location here gives professions relating to machineries or land.

The profession here is more advisory and desk based than field based. }) PISCES This position gives ancient studies such as law, medicine, history, religion as the profession. Teachers are also found in this sign. Being Jupiter's sign, this gives tespect and command for the native albeit the fact that the person may not be fully in touch with worldly practicalties due to his detached nature. If Jupiter is located alongwith Saturn, it gives considerable respect in professional circles and the person is able to conduct his profession honestly. 4. SATURN’S COMBINATION WITH OTHER PLANETS This section gives an overview of the combination of Saturn with other planets one at a time. Vedic Nadi Astrology and Career 2 a) Saturn with Sun ‘This combination is looked at in conventional astrology with regret since the two planets are deadly enemies.

It was predicted in 1995 beginning that when Gura transits over natal Saturn position, this person would be able to get a promotion or a change of job with high salary.

In fact, in June 1995, the person got a change of job with double the present salary. g) Saturn with Rahu ‘This normally makes the native subordinate to some other person.

Therefore, finance, commerce, taxation and business involving help from friends are indicated.

For example, Saturn plus Moon plus Mercury combination has been given but Saturn plus Mercury plus Moon combination has not been given. Though the professional aspects may be similar, the former combination will produce a worried but intelligent mind and the person will gather intellect after travelling (Moon coming before Mercury), in the latter combination, the person will possess intelligence first and then undertake travels to spread the intelligence to other people. The latter combination is more effective since it establishes the natives ability outside the place of his residence. Like this way, taking the basic karakatwas of planets, various combinations may be worked out. Whatever approach is followed by the person, itis crystal clear that judgement is very important and this comes only by constant study and research. Moreover, it is always easy to find reasons in retrospect but often the astrologer is asked to talk prospectively. This places an onerous responsibility on the astrologer and his judgement and intuition are often his only guide.40 Vedic Nedi Astrology and Career CHAPTER IV LINKING VEDAS AND ASTROLOGY INTRODUCTION It is a well known fact that Astrology is a limb of the Vedas. ‘Therefore, it may seem rather surprising that we are trying to link the two. It was well known that astrology was called the eye of the vedas because the same used to throw light on matters relating to timing events. The conduct of vedic rituals had to be done at particular times and astrology was used as a guide to this. Moreover, astronomy was used in construction of temples in olden days. This is amply evident from the brilliant architecture of those days wherein. sunlight was put to use to light up the temple. Ihave always been wondering whether the zodiac is intimately connected with any unique concept in the vedas. As [was reading the works of Paramacharya of Kanchi, suddenly it occured to ‘me that a particular concept that he had enlightened as the basis of religion was the link which should be used to interpret charts, to find out on an overall basis the thrust of the individual. Tmust say that my preliminary research in this in being used in each of the charts. PURUSARTHAS Paramacharya writes that dharma, artha, kama and moksha are Vedic Nadi Astrology and Career ) the four concepts that cover all facets of our life. It follows that this should also be reflected in astrology. Ihave therefore divided the zodiac as per the above dictum which is illustrated as under: Moksha] Dharma] Artha | Kama Kama Moksha RAST Artha Dharma Dharma Moksha | Kama — | Artha Our division can be summarised thus: a) Aries and its trines, Leo and Sagittarius stand for dharma. b) Taurus and its trines, Capricorn and Virgo stand for artha. c) Gemini and its trines, Libra and Aquairus stand for Kama. d) Cancer and its trines, Scorpio and Pisces stand for moksha. Dharma stands for righteous conduct. Artha stands for having a life which will help acquire things such as family, money, status, etc. Kama indicates desires - the desire to do things like2 Vedic Nadi Astrology and Career Profession, sex, etc. Likewise moksha indicates the state of mind Whercin the person is trying to be in oneness with God. Itis said in the vedas thatthe person in pursuing artha and kama should be bound by the tenets of dharma. That is why we have the dharmasastras. For example, getting married and living a householders life and following a profession is not against dharma. But cheating a person in the course of doing business or profession would constitute acquiring artha against the tenets of dharma, Justification for the Division Any theory must be fist illustrated and then proved. We have Said that the East direction signs of Aries, Leo and Sagitariue Stand for Dharma, How can this be? These signs ae fiery signs and for example, Aries indicates a rajasic sign, However Leo and Sagittarius are satwie in nature. Aries also indicates a wamor like sign. In astrology, especially in our vedas, we are told that if We want to pray to our favourite god, we must medidate on him Placing him in the centre of the Sun, Sun is supposed to be the fepresentative of God. If you note, Sun exalts in Aries and therefore this sign stands for dharmic activity. The trines therefrom are also dharmic signs since they are in the same east direction. The question arises as to why the signs of northern direction signifying moksha should not be indicative of God. ‘ri is a good question but the answer that I propose to give is {hat God stands not for moksha but for dharma, Ths is explained in the Bhagavad Gita where the Lord says that he will be bom Whenever there is a decline in dharma to reestablish dhanwa Also, praying to God gives moksha but it must be coupled with Gharmic activites. It will be noted that fifth and ninth signs of the zodiac signify religion. Also note that Ares isthe first sign, Leo isthe fifth sign and Sagittarius isthe Oth sign of the natura ‘Vedic Nadi Astrology and Career B zodiac s ignifying dharma. Letus take the signs of Taurus and its trines. We have classified it as artha. Taurus stands for wealth as itis the second simof iac. Virgo is the 6th sign in the natural zodi sand forseniceaeny CCapricom isthe natural 10th sgn which stands for Karma, The signs stand for acquiring wealth through setviee and occupation. Mercury exalts in Virgo since the sign stands for commerce -a worldy activity which brings in wealth. Mars exalts in Capricom since this indicates tremendous worldy activity . Moreover, Mars stands for marriage which is a legitimate artha. Moon exalts in Taurus next to Sun in Aries Which shows that with Dharma and Artha strong, the person ‘would be able to scale heights. Sun and Moon are the luminiaries and their exaltation gives strength to the chart. The Paramacharya says that dharma and artha should go hand in hand. Therefore, these signs signify artha. Let us come to the next set of trines, Gemini, Libra and Aquairus. These are airy and intellectual signs. How can airy and intellectual signs give rise to kama - a word that means desires. Should not intelligence normally lead to dharma and moksha? This a very 00d question. Inthe natural zodiac, Libra is the th sign and as you are all aware 7th house signifies sex, relationship, business, cte. The 11th house represents second marriage besides representing gains and acquisitions. The third house signifies courage, brothers etc. Desiring for brothers, sisters and living with them is a legitimate desire. Likewise desiring for sex and marrage is a legitimate desire. Also, desiring for money, gins is alegitimate desire. This is why these three signs ofthe zodiac Stand for desires. Only Saturn exalts in Libra which denotes desires. The desire to do something is karma - whose chief indicator is Satur. That is why he exalts in a sign signifying44 ‘Vedic Nadi Astrology and Career desire. Moreover, these are west direction signs which point to desires coupled with action. Coming to the last division of moksha, these are north direction signs. Cancer is where Jupiter exalts. Jupiter stands for nobility, religion, teacher, preacher, praying, etc. Jupiter is the deva guru and is the life breath of every individual, His location in the Zodiac will goto determine the bent ofthe individual, In Scorpio, Kethu exalts andhe is the mokshakaraka. Venus the artistic and talented planet exalts in Pisces, the last sign of the zodiac. Pisces isan intuitional sign. While we are clear about the roles of Jupiter and Kethu, how can we say that a planet like Venus signifies moksha. Would this not sound strange? It must be noted that ‘Venus stands exalted in Pisces because of two reasons - one that it represents the feet of the kalapurusha (Lord Vishnu). Goddess Lakshmi his consort is always at the feet of the Lord and therefore, she is most powerful there. Besides, Pisces is capable of producing teachers, poets, lawyers, etc, which are noble professions requiring much versatility to deal with various subjects and a tremendous imaginative power. Versatility and imaginative powers are found in abundance in the planet Venus. Moreover, the 12th sign of the natural zodiac stands for not ‘only moksha but also comforis ofall kinds which only Venus is capable of giving. It must be clearly understood that moksha oes not mean that the person would spend his time thinking only about God. It is quite possible that the person may be involved in worldly work but may be content with it or may be adopting a detached outlook towards the fruits of profession while being in the profession. Therefore, the term moksha should be understood in that context. There is one more doubt that arises as to why we are considering exaltation positions rather than the signs owned by the planets. Vedic Nadi Astrology and Career 45 example, Jupiter owns Sagittarius and Pisces. Should his role nt be analysed on this basis rather than exaltation power? Sagittarius stands for Dharma and Pisces for moksha. This combination is very much suitable for Jupiter since he stands for ‘ury and Jupiter showing intellectual’ « Vedic Nadi Astrology and Career o ¢) This combination shows that the person would have an ‘avocation related to movement (Saturn with Moon in earthy signs) which requires intellectual knowledge (Mercury and Jupiter). Mercury and Jupiter represent accounting and ‘banking besides law. Note the presence of most planets in artha and kama signs signifying worldly activity. The position of Moon and Jupiter as well as Saturn in such signs also show the thrust of the individual. d) The person is «merchant banker who is a qualified Chartered ‘Accountant and Cost Accountant. Career prospects ¢) With Saturn located with Kethu and Moon, difficulties in professional field in definetly indicated. However, we see that Jupiter is located in the second to Saturn capable of giving the person respect and money in career. f) Atthe time when Saturn transited Aquarius in 1993-94, the person decided to go on his own. At this time, Saturn ‘was transiting natal Jupiter position meaning the native was going to get promotion, respect and money in profession, This is exactly what happened. Moreover, in such atransit, exalted Venus is located in the second to Satu. This assures smooth earnings. 8) If you analyse the typical dasa system, the person was changing from Rahu to Jupiter dasa and therefore one would be able to clearly conclude that there would be very good changes in fortune consequent to the position of Jupiter in the chart,68 Vedic Nadi Astrology and Carear Example No.17 Moon | Kethu Lagna RAST [++ = ve fenus } Saturn | Mercury | Jupiter Sun ‘The person was born on 5.11.57 wi of 2 years and 3 months. wbaanes of Mercury dase Career a) Satur is located in Scorpio aspected by Moon from Pisces, in the same direction.

We see this combination with Mars in the 12th house to Saturn. 4) While the person-can have so many professions, we see that Saturn is located in the 6th house which relates to debts, diseases etc. Keeping these factors in mind, the probability is that the person is likely to have a medical profession. ©) The person is a doctor. Since Sun is not powerful, the prospects of the person becoming a surgeon is not possible. ‘Therefore, the person is a physician. f) Note the fact that most of planets are located in west direction (4 planets), Jupiter is in south (artha). Moon and Saturn are in north direction but lagna is in a west oriented sign. This gives worldly activity. Career prospects ) Venus located in the second sign to Saturn assures the person of money but Kethu is also located in the same direction as ‘Venus. Therefore, in the future, the person has to ensure that his earnings are not frittered away for worthless causes. h) The person has struggled in profession since Saturn has his deadly enemies Sun and Mars in the 12th sign.

This has in no small measure contributed to the strength of the chart. It would be interesting to note that in this case, the person had to go lots of trials and tribulations in his Sun dasa but the beginning of Moon dasa saw his career strengthen considerably. Jupiter’s transit over Saturn in 1994-95 saw the person get a change in place with his income more than doubling.
