No rule and methods will remain good and applicable unless changed with time and synchronized with Vedika Jyotisha traditions. Now a day there is a trend to use Nadi or Hora or Prashan etc as best but I do not segregate astrology based on texts or region. It is created for the welfare of the common man and the astrologer is bound to do this duty. While predicting any event in modern times, one has to keep basic principles of astrology in mind but on this knowledge, one has to superimpose modern changing conditions to provide any purposeful and valid guidelines.

When we take into account only planets’ karaka tatva in the chart, we might come to limit this to a particular chart only as even with the same position of karaka tatva the results will be changed, so we cannot have the same results always. The particular place of conjunction, the hose ruled by the planet involved and other influences based on karaka tatva have to be taken into consideration to come to the proper conclusion. One must be extremely careful in arriving at conclusions by taking a comprehensive approach. These are the words of author Shri R G Rao stated clearly in Bhrigu Nandi Nadi text experts translated. This indicates that one should consider karaka tatva comprehensive approach of bhava and Rashi too with the planet while arriving at the proper conclusion. There are six kinds of karaka tatwas given in BPHS apply to conclude the results.

Many methods and many options are there to assess the event even then we face failure so ALLWAYS LOOK FOR REPETITIVE FACTORS & LINK to confirm the event with reasonable care and cover.

For example, see the natal result for marriage as to-Early or Late, Delay or Separation, One marriage or two marriages, Widowhood, Child bearing or producing sex assessment, Child birth or progeny matters and abortions if any, number & gender of the child etc. This is based on natal horoscope only and has nothing to do with progress please remember it. The timing of this natal results will be assessed as per dasha and transit methods. Do not use only progress systems to fix natal habited traits while applying Bhrigu text otherwise, you would jump to the wrong conclusion while dealing with practical horoscopes. Transit or progress can trigger the natal trait only if it is existed in natal like, say, Ve in natal polluted by Mars and Rahu so Ra or Ma progress will trigger the same to attach to other female widow but if Ve is strong not afflicted at all, Ra-Ma transit over it will not trigger the attachment, at the most give a thin glimpse of temporary attraction nothing else. Please remember this carefully and do not jump to give such configuration that Mars goes to 3rd posited Ve and then Ra 4th to give third angle attachments in marriage life. If you conclude that then in all charts Ma-Ra will progress to meet Ve in zodiac please note. If there are two marriages indicated in natal then transit may or may not trigger it but if natal indicates one marriage then transit cannot give two marriages.

Options for getting married are enumerated as under. The main method to map this option is two tire transit of Ju with this 7H & 7L factors duly synchronized with the dasha system. There is another method of age factor also that too better be confirmed by transit or dasha. There are other methods also to map the marriage event duly elaborated in this book.

Natal 7H/7L

7H/7L from Venus

7H/7L from Moon

7H/7L from Ju-Su as an option of ‘sati pati’ karaka

7H/7L from 1P-Arudha Lagna

7P/7P lord

Upapada-12P & 12PL of spouse

7P/7PL from Ve-Mo-Ju-Su

Depositor of 7L & 7H

7H sign and d9 position of 7L

7H & 7L of Karkamsha in the birth chart

Dasha which give marriage is dasha-bhukti lord connected with above planet-house i.e. planet connected with above 7H/7P & its lord [by aspect or conjunction] will give marriage is a simple rule. Please always keep eye on the 7L depositor role to give marriage in its dasha.

Transit of Ju when connected to the above 7H/7L or 7P/7P lord or 7H/7L in d9, will give marriage and in the same way when Saturn connected with above 7H/7P & lord will give marriage in a certain condition. Generally, Saturn is trouble inflictor but when in natal or transit exalted-own sign, its depositor exalted-own sign and in the same way connected to above 7H/7P & lord will give marriage. Saturn in Le in transit for Ar Asc and Ve 7L posited in Aq then Saturn can give marriage as it aspects Li-7H and Ve-Aq both exalted-own sign.

This is the dasha and transit method used widely by most astrologers. Now there is another method of age factor i.e. age is indicated by many astrologers, options are as under.

The maturity age of the planet being 7L as said above.

Maturity age of house as said above just from Asc or karaka whichever deem fit.

Navamsha age of this 7L or planet in it

Age indicated by Ju-Sa transit for above planet & house as said here.

Special age factors for delayed marriage like 7H/7L betwixt malefic or such other conditions says marriage after 32/35 years of age.

Similarly, progeny matters of 5L are seen with many options and methods similar to marriage as elaborated above. Next, is sibling matters will also be seen with 3L/11L in the same way.

There are many methods to time the marriage and if you read our classics you may come across many methods. Please keep at your fingertips many methods and many options for better valid predictions. This is the Jataka Parijata [Shloka-27 Ch-14] method duly modified as per the practical experience of various scholars and experts for many years. There are many options open up while discerning practical horoscopes so different methods are given by our classics please note. There are other methods also in our classics to refer kindly consider.

Add the longitudes of LL & 7L, deduce this to sign so when Ju traverses to this or its d9 trine sign will give you marriage. You may take Sa transit if you know when to use it. Same way add the longitudes of the ruler of the Moon star and the 7L star will give marriage.

Suppose LL Ju 6S.28.18 + 7L Mer 7S1.12 = 13S 29.30 = 1-Ar29.30 dg = Vi d9. So when transit Ju comes to 2-6-10 sign will give marriage.

You may apply the AVP method here; also transit Ju when in the trine sign of the above-concluded sign may give marriage. AVP of Asc to above Ta sign is 3, multiplied by Sodhya pind of Ta is 171 = 3*171 =513 divided by 12 we get the remainder 9-Sg sign, so Ju when traverse to Sg sign [1-5-9] will give marriage. Here Ju transit in 1-5-9 sign and its aspects on natal Ju is important; similarly, Ju transit over natal d9 Ju sign and its aspect on d1 Sg sign would give marriage.

You may apply this AVP method to sign of 7H/7L or Ve or 7H/7L from Ve to get married in Ju transit, even divided above sum by 27 you will get nakshatra starting from Kritika to give marriage in Ju transit.

You may add this above longitudes for years say LL 11dg + 7L 11dg = 22 is the age when you may get married, here you may go for 5,5 or 2 [modern view] or 3,3 or 2 [classic view] series to get married; this is given to avoid malefic transit that may hinder the marriage or to favor benefice transit that gives marriage. Say for above marriage may happen at 25 or 27, 28 or 32 etc. If the sum comes to 40 then 35-37, 30-34 etc will be marriage age.

Yet another system is that add the longitude of the ruler of Moon star and 7L deduce this to sign so when Ju traverses to this sign will give you marriage. You may take Sa transit if you know when to use it.

You may add this for a year say Su ruler of Moon star 12dg + 7L 11dg = 23 is the age when you may get married, here you may go for 5,5 or 2 [modern view] or 3,3 or 2 [classic view] series to get married; say for above, marriage may happen at 26 or 28, 29 or 33 etc. This may depends on natal configuration or late or timely marriage.

Though the whole work of marriage contains the following topics as given in various Nadi & hora texts which may be applied on practical charts. The topic is stated as it comes to my mind; all this may not be given in Nadi texts, also perhaps divorce is not stated but childlessness and other reasons of separation may be taken as one.

[01] Getting marriage [02] Traits and other attributes of spouse [03] Child birth [04] Direction of marriage i.e. from where the wife will come [05] Nature, temperament and physical structure of spouse [06] Two marriages due to various reasons [07] Widowhood [08] Separation-divorce mutual separation [09] Adultery-polygamy-elopement [10] Unhappy married life or troubled life due to past life curse [11] Money matters in marriage [12] Fortune after marriages [13] Sanyas yoga and denial of marriage [15] Health in marriage [16] Progeny matters in marriage-curse factor [17] Delay in marriage for various dosha-curse factor, Visha Purush etc [18] Husband going to whores [19] Who passed away first husband or wife? [20] Younger sibling marriage first then elder the native married

The next important topic that catches our insight is a sibling and again many methods are given in our classics to determine the number, gender, bondage etc. please keep the following methods in mind while discerning the chart for the sibling.

As per Saravali Ch-34 shloka-22 [R Santhanam], the native will have the number of a sibling as per d9 passed by 3H and planet aspect 3H will increase the number of the sibling. Many astrologers take 3L passed d9 plus planet aspects 3H and or 3L will give the number of the sibling.

JP Shloka17 to 21 Ch-12 [Ranjan Publication] says after co-born will be as many as the number of planets in 2H & 3H from Lagna. The same is true for elder co-born for 11H & 12H. This is also taken from karaka Ju or Ma as the case may be and planets are included from 1H to 3H and 1H to 11H in case of need. This is practising astrology for many.

The native will have as many siblings as there are planets conjoined with 3L for younger & 11L for elder, Karaka Ma-for younger & Ju for elder, planet aspecting 3L-3H for younger & 11H-11L for elder and planets occupying 3H for younger & 11H for elder provided always that the planets having suffice predominance strength will be counted. If the planet is weak, combustible, inimically posed, eclipsed will not be counted or siblings will be destroyed. The planet strong will bestow the longevity and happiness of siblings.

In Astaka Varga, determine the benefice dots in 3H from Mars and out of this, the planet that gives benefice dot is inimical, combust or eclipse deduct that and remainder will give the number of after born. Here there is a practice to add benefice dot for the planet exalted, own, mool trikon sign and remainder will be the total number of after born. A similar approach is taken for 11H of Ju Astaka Varga for the elder sibling.

For gender determination of sibling, emphasis is given to male/female sign and male/female planet connected as said above.

At shloka-24 [JP], it is said that ascertain d9 passed by all above said planet, deduct inimically debilitated, combust etc planet and doubled the [add one only is another view] exalted etc planet. The result will tell you the number of siblings after born and elder.

Good or affectionate relations with a sibling are given in shloka 26. There will be high affectionate with a sibling if 3L/11L and LL are conjunct [or in mutual aspect or posited in trine/Kendra]. Those who follow Jaimini may take 3P & 1P in trine or Kendra or its lord conjoined for affectionate relations. You may take this as qualitative ‘rinanubandh’.

Partition of family property among siblings-if the above two planets [3L & LL & 11L& LL] are naturally friendly [I think in five fold friendship relationship] and possessed of strength and at the same time posited in Asc or 3H[11H] then there will be no partition. In all other cases, partitions are possible or not please check with your prudence say LL & 3L in trine or Kendra.

In shloka-27 it is said that the above planet and planet in 3H/11H and its karaka is weak, inimical & posited in 6-8-12 H than in its dasha quarrel, confusion, ruin, waste of wealth, etc wrt sibling is possible. Then Jataka Parijata text goes on for good etc about siblings worth noting.

Chandra Kala Nadi-2631/2632 B-1

In the first dasha, Jupiter transit over the dg sign of 1L or passing through the trine d9 sign of LL [trine sign of d1 & d9 is taken by many astrologers] is time for the birth of co-born without a doubt. [If there is the exchange of LL & 3L then transit Ju over 3L may give sibling and if the first dasha is very short then next dasha can also give sibling; it depends on your prudence to map sibling birth for transit Ju over 3L/3H]

Ju gives happiness and birth of sibling as said here and Sa transit at the same time inflict danger to sibling please note.

Transit Saturn is when over the degree sign of total of longitude of lord of self-1L, sibling-3L, and Loss-12L will inflict evil to co-born i.e. possible death or death-like trouble.

Transit Saturn is when over the degree sign of total of longitude of lord of para-6L, sibling-3L, and Loss-12L will inflict evil to co-born i.e. possible death or death-like trouble.

Searchlight on some topic of Vedika Jyotisha is need of the modern era as deviations, diversities and prolixity is seen everywhere even in overwhelming passion. I also have to take care of this as it is in human nature. Some topics as per classics are given here for your due consideration while dealing with predictive methods.

Paraspara Karaka Yoga

One view of CKN [Chandra Kala Nadi-R Santhanam edition] B1 Shloka 210/211 Sg Asc

Ju is in Sg Asc, Ve in the house of happiness [4H] with Ketu in Pi, Mars amsha [Sc d9 is possible] may give the following results

•Expert in three language

•Famous for his learning

•Fond of music drama, literature

•Charming in his speech

•The native may honor God-goddess & Brahmins

This is because Ju is Sg own sing and Ve exalted with Ke in own/exalted sign form ‘paraspara’ karaka yoga in natal Kendra, so most powerful and Ve + Ke in 4H is not said as moksha here but gives wide learning-academicals, especially when in Sc d9 foreign amsha i.e. foreign language. Extra ordinary learning trait is given to Ketu and various languages are the combined results of Ve-Ju and are limited to three only.

Mo posited with Ju is not mentioned & counted here as it is neither own/exalted sign.

So, Ve-Ju-Ke is three planets for three languages. So here planetary significations are used and not lordship but d9 is used as a confirmative approach. So, Ke even though with benefice needs extra factor to enhance the results. Ke itself cannot give results on its own accord either conjunction, depositor plus d9 role is important is the outcome in my view. Ju-Ve is language, Ke is wide learning or high knowledge [Sc d9], Ve is music, drama, literature, and Ju is charming speech, Ju honor-worship Brahmin-god. Ju as LL impact other two signs 5H-knowledge and 9H-dharma. Here, it is noteworthy that Mercury is not preferred for language. One more point is added here afterwards in another shloka [217] for this exact effect as Ju in Brahma d60, Ca d9 and Ve in Aq d9 i.e. ‘amsha of drama & music. Support of all these planets got from d9 to give collective results as said here with ‘paraspara karaka’. For this configuration later on it is said that [shloka-213] though high skilful educated sometimes the native proves dune i.e. ‘mandbuddhi’. Please understand the role of Ke here and use prudence in prediction.

If Ju-Ve-Ke ‘paraspara karaka’ yoga then what is the role of Rahu in Vi 10H being an exalted sign, so also what is the role of Mo as 8L with Ju, later on, struggle and impediments are said. So, due to the nodal axis in Kendra impacting Ju-Ve with Mo as 8L is a kind of cancellation of ‘paraspara karaka yoga’ afterwards.

My suggestion is to read the whole approach/ method to see its impact jointly and severally.

Past life and Future life nakshatra of the native-- ‘shastraanukul view’ is given here; you are free to study properly the shloka and take your perception please note.

As per B1 Shloka-436 CKN, in my one view only based on d9 Rashi tallied at d1 please consider.

The person born in Ca Asc Mo is there at 29+ deg, so Pi d9 nakshatra is Ashlesha-4 where its VDR is Mer.

The next-future birth nakshatra of Mo is ‘Ashwini-1’ Ar d1 & Ar d9 where its VDR is Ketu.

Past life star not given but in my view, Mo is in ‘U Bahdrapada-4, Pi d1 & Sc d9 where its VDR is Sa.

Past Life, Soul journey, Karmic debts etc. -

In Bhrigu Samhita, the getting child approach is based on a horoscope duly prepared for birth details of the native, where past life discerning method is given. The concept is new as there is no horoscope given but a formula is given and on that basis horoscopes are selected who asked for progeny, not having happiness in this regard. In all cases, birth details are secreted for confidential purposes. Past life revelation cannot be verified but those who suffer can experience the same. I do not claim that methods & approach curled out here is general or cent per cent result giver, neither is it only view as other views, methods & approach is possible. This is a science like any other field where the power to look at things holistically is important. This analysis of things come totality with experience of reading scriptures and for which a satwik approach is necessary.

While discerning practical chars for getting child we come across with past life karma, karmic debts-‘rinanubandh’, sorrow from child etc. Bhrigu Samhita narrates all this in shloka and we have to decipher its approach and methods. But before that some facts we have to keep in mind based on our classic texts. I tried to narrate the same here to ease the same.

We are born for karmic debt only and human birth is the only ‘karma yoni’ and for karmic debt, all nine planetssigns-nakshatras contributed. We are born where papa & Punya are balanced to consume and holy karma has upper hand for experiencing ‘maya’ and then to go for moksha. Various configurations are given for planets, signs, houses and nakshatra for this karmic debt results we are facing in current birth in the form of shlokas by our sages. Nakshatra [never abolish is the meaning] is your karmic mountain Hora text used it as ‘udu dasha’ the most authoritative, main is Vimshottari Dasha. Sign-Rashi [sum or portion is meaning] is the sum-portion allotted to you for this birth. And planets are the absorbing-releasing agent of what is stored is to be given through configuration-dasha-transit.

The BASE is that you are facing what is due to your karmic debt only indicated by planets-stars-signs collectively. House-Planet-sign-nakshatras system adopted here collectively to clear all your karmic imprints of three life present-past-future. So, we should do not be overwhelmed by Astro knowledge that planet Sa-Ra-Ke or other bodies show karmic debt and others do not. Please do not disregard any text whether it is Hora or Nadi etc., the best to go to classic text master-Guru to learn.

There are two doubts raised to me about Karmic debt of past life, first is how many past births we can see and the second is the karmic debt of 1st birth, though it has little value as to how to assess karmic debt of past life. As per BPHS P-1 Ch-28 [Khemraj Mumbai edition], there are nine quarters of nakshatra in Rashi, so 1st d9 is the first birth, 2nd d9 is the second birth and the third d9 is third and 4th & above is 4th past life. Sage Shri Parashara says clearly that there are four births known from the star quarter and sage Bhrigu says seven births as a curse exist for seven births. Karma Vipak says all three births are known from the star quarter. D9 is for nine births & D12 go along to twelve births, say some astrologers. The base is that whatever times you got your human births once you fall in ‘bhoga yoni’ and then come again to human birth is counted as your first birth. This is simply my view to present. Lord Rama incarnated as a human is first birth as his heavenly adobe will not be counted but He has to consume the karmic debt the curse of Naradji-Vrinda[wife of Jalandhar] etc in heavenly adobe. This is my view, others may have their perception. There are many topics in Astrology where we are not interested or not matching with our concept so let it be as it is; journey remains, let others who are interested plough it.

Soul Journey & Mapping of Karmic Debt is another important topic we should keep in mind to resolve the past life.

After death our body is turned into a corpse, the mind becomes formless and the soul is isolated. This isolated soul and mind formless, emotional and cognitive state searches for a soul as per the destined karma. After death remains the formless soul [Sun] the supreme form and formless mind [Moon] the karma imprints, searching for the suitable body according to karma. When they found that suitable body, with mind speed [in atomic time-‘anukala’ ] soul enters the conception in its minutest form. At the time of searching the body and when the first prepare to take the initial fetus, ether i.e. ‘akasha element-divinity governs the utmost importance to protect and preserve the ‘soul’ & ‘mind’ and then other four elements [earth-water-air-fire] are taken. This is as per ‘Charaka Samhita’ where it is said that the conditional soul due to its karma fate enters the embryo through conception in the micro bacterial form at the speed of time called ‘v.kqdky---- aṇukāla’ i.e. atom time. Ayurved says that a formless soul enters the embryo through conception in micro bacterial form. Some astrologers say formless soul and mind with karma imprints take the form in water or earth, enter the body of humans through intake-food like grains, fruits, herbs etc. and form seminal fluid or eggs enters the embryo at the time of conception to come to this earth, the world of mortals.

The base of the soul journey is when we are living, our karma file daily goes to the lord ‘Yama thru ‘Chitragupta at the time of transit Arudha touches the birth Ascendant. So soon after death formless soul and karma imprint the mind search for the soul. Another approach is that after death the soul goes to godhead with karma imprints and He decides as per karma in which yoni has to go and put it free in ether from where search journey of soul starts taking shape in water, wind or earth to merge in food-intake to go to the sperm-egg level of the body to regenerate. In embryo month-wise coitus grows and forms the body to come on the earth. Sun, Mars, Jupiter, etc onwards reign over the months of pregnancy and this is the subject matter of ‘nisheka’ not touched at present.

If soul entails holy karma, bhoga yoni of heaven is there, if sinful karma bhoga yoni of animal etc is there, if highly sinful and curse karma is there degraded or hell is there AND when there is truly balanced of good-bad karma pending, human yoni is incarnated to experience ‘maya’ and to go to ‘moksha’.

Here there are many approaches and theories exposed so stick to what is experienced by you best logical and legitimate, no hard and fast rule can be given please note.

Our classics given many options for mapping of soul journey where luminaries are given importance as the soul is Sun and karma imprints is Moon. The position of stronger luminaries in the d3-d9-d12 sign will decide the last position of the soul from where it came. This is one method and there are many methods to see this past life status quo position of the soul. Instead of luminaries, you may take 12H/12L or 8H/8L etc as per your choice to see the position of the soul in a past life. There are other methods of mapping this as follows.

•12H Past life-1H Present life-2H Future life

•8H Past & Future life karma and 1H Current Birth era

•9H Past life-5H Future birth-1H Present birth era

•5H Past life-9H Future birth-1H Present birth era

•8H-Past life-12H Future birth-1H Present birth

The list may still go on and you may adopt any method consistently to see the results.

The sign position of above house lords [planets] will decide the position of the soul in a past life with the influence of other planets. If the sign where the above planet is posited is the Ju Pi sign then the soul came from the era of Sindhu or Gautami river etc duly enumerated as under for all planets…

[Jataka Parijata]

Sun = land of god [Maru–desert, mountain, dry soil]; Moon = watery place [oceans-big rivers]; Mars = from ‘Lanka to Krishna’ river; Mercury = from ‘Vindhya’ mountain to ‘Ganga’ river; Jupiter = from ‘Gautami’ river to ‘Vindhya’ mountain; Venus = from ‘Krishna’ river to ‘Gautami’ river; Saturn = from ‘Ganga to Himalaya’.

[Phaladipika]

Sun = ‘Kalinga’ ; Moon = ‘Yavan’ ; Mars = ‘Avanti’ ; Mercury = ‘Magadha’ ; Jupiter = ‘Sindhu’ ; Venus = ‘Kikata’ ; Saturn = ‘Saurashtra’ ; Rahu = ‘Amber’ ; Ketu = Mountains

Aries-‘patal’ ; Taurus-‘karnaata’ ; Gemini-‘Chera’ ; Cancer-‘Chaul’ ; Leo-‘paanda’ ; Virgo-‘Keral’ ; Libra-‘kolaas’ ; Scorpio-‘Malaya; Sagittarius-‘saindhava’ ; Capricorn-‘panchal’ ; Aquarius-‘yavana’ and Pisces-‘kosha’.

Cast---sign 1-5-9 Kshatriya; 2-6-10 Vaishya; 3-7-11 Shudra and 4-8-12 Brahmin. Sun-Mars Kshatriya; Moon-Mercury Vaishya; Jupiter-Venus Brahmin; Saturn Shudra or hybrid caste by Shudra and Rahu-Ketu are non-Hindu or Shudra.

Directions---1-5-9 East; 2-6-10 South; 3-7-11 West and 4-8-12 North; Sun-East, Moon-Northwest, Mars-South, Mercury–North, Jupiter–Northeast, Venus–Southeast, Saturn-West and Rahu is southwest.

Place or Region---Sun-the place of god or place of the jungle; Mars–fire-sport place or mountains; Moon–water place; Mercury–Magadha land [Ge] or caves land; Jupiter–wealthy land; Venus–pleasant & entertaining place; Saturn–dry place or desert land or animal shelter; Rahu-Ketu–filthy or place of a foreign land or places of insects reptiles. If the concerned planet i.e. connected to above said planet is exalted, neutral or debilitated, the position in the concerned ‘loka is highest, moderate or degraded as the case may be to judge prudently.

REST MAY BE ASSESSED AS PER other classics or YOUR PRUDENCE & EXPERTISE.

After deciding the soul is from which direction, land etc next is to assess the yoni from which soul came to this human incarnation. You cannot hypothecate directly that each human soul will get the human soul next, most of the time soul has to consume its holy and sinful karma in various yonis and then when the balance is due, human birth is blessed and if karma-karmic debt extinct moksha may
