Diseases are of two types, -
1) Real disease -i.e., Arising out of inherent weaknesses (congenital weakness of some body
part, such as liver- diabetes, lungs- asthma, heart- blood pressure) Real disease can affect
either of the body or of mind.
2) Acquired diseases i.e., from external sources such as bacteria, viruses etc.,
Congenital immaturity: Every human body has some immaturity in their body anatomy. Such
immature zones lead to various diseases. Lesser the immature zones better the health condition.
Congenitally immature parts of the body become the principal factors of death in the long run.
Congenital immaturity is such a natural phenomenon which can't be resisted by any means.
Hence the life is dependent on the planetary influence. The reasons for Congenital immaturity
were attributed to the strength of the birth star i.e., natal moon position. Congenital disease is a
disease or disorder that is inherited genetically from immediate parents or some grandparents in
the family dynasty. This can be either paternal side or maternal side. These symptoms of disease
may be controlled in a generation, by medicines / by any other curative methods. Still the
recurrence of such symptoms cannot be ruled out in any of the next generations in the family.
Astrology and Genetics - DNA is chemical material that governs inheritance in living beings.
The structure of DNA in human body has a similarity to the spiraling pattern of planets in solar
system. DNA contains the code of human life. Planets indicate the cosmic code of life. Planetary
configurations at conception and at birth time influence the genes of the child. The natal chart
gives information on genes and genetic engineering in a body.
Astro-genetical factors -Generation to generation the genealogical symptoms are carried out
biologically. Natal planetary configuration give an impression on the symptoms of the genetical
factors brought down to a native as well as the symptoms being carried out to the next
generation. Crucial points that are responsible for transmission of genetical factors are lagna,
moon and 5th bhava and / or seventh bhavas from thereon of father or mother's birth charts. Astro
genetical Influence is the ability of a parental sign to appear as the lagna / chandra lagna in the
chart of the child. Such ability depends on the frequency of its appearance as 'crucial point' in
the ancestral charts i.e., of parents/grandparents / great grandparents. Influences of transiting
planets on the crucial sign at the time of birth of the child also indicate genetical influence. Astro
genetical factor has an embedded influence in any chart to influence the next generation.
To identify congenital disease astrologically Study of divisional charts, along with rasi chart
give important indications of the diseases and more so of congenital diseases.
For a study of the divisional charts
1) Analyze Navamsha and Shashtamsa chart like a normal chart, look at the lagna, lagna
lord, the 6th house and its ruler.
2) Analyze rasi lagna lord and see how it is placed on the navamsa, shashtamsa or other
vargas.
3) Analyze karakas, significators of the body organs and see their positions in the Vargas.
4) Analyze dasha and bhukti lord and its placement in the Vargas. 5) Analyze the Moon
and its placement or affliction in the Vargas.

Among the divisional charts - Trimsamsa indicates the weakness of body, mind and the soul
(weakness inherited from past births). The key signification of the Trimsamsa can be known by
finding out the root of the divisional chart. Trimsamsa means 30th division and by expunging the
multiple of 12, we arrive at 6 (30-12*2), which is the house of diseases, servants/ service,
enemies and litigation.
Trimsamsa chart analysis is very much needed to identify congenital diseases. Trimsamsa
divisional chart is related to affliction, misfortune and disease.
(i). Focus is on the planets related to the dushtana houses and their connection to the
rashi chart.
(ii). Planets badly placed in the Rashi and in the Trimsamsa can cause problems in their
dasha periods.
Congenital diseases are indicated by the 8th house as a matter of inheritance and as a result of the
debt of past life karma. 6th house indicate the debts, diseases and enemies being acquired in the
present life.
Trimsamsa indicate sub-conscious level i.e., the effect of the enemies are embedded in our sub-
conscious mind and troubles our existence from within. Trimsamsa chart is used to know about
diseases which are borne out of six inherent weaknesses. The biggest enemies are our six
sources of weaknesses. The six weaknesses are broadly signified by Saturn, the Karaka of sixth
house for diseases. The six sources of weakness can be attributed to affliction to one of the
pancha tattvas (five primordial elements) and thus shall show the kind of diseases one would
suffer with. Six weaknesses are governed by
1) Mars- Anger ( Krodha ) ,
2) Mercury- Jealousy (Matsarya) ,
3) Venus- Lust (Kama) ,
4) Saturn- Intoxication (Mada) ,
5) Rahu- Greed ( Lobha) ,
6) Ketu- Illusion ( Moha ).
In calculating Trimsamsa - the luminaries- Sun and Moon are left out as they are the sources of
light. Jupiter is left out as it represents the wish of divine consciousness. Moreover, these three
are of the sattva guna and capable of curing the weaknesses.
While interpreting the Trimsamsa chart we have to observe the troubles due to enmity
1) Among tattvas in rasi chart and in dasa, bhukti lords;
2) Among planets and tattvas,
3) Among tatvas and dieties;
4) Among four trikonas.
Special Houses in Trimsamsa to be studied are 4th house: House of Cure; and 12th house:
Hospitals or the place of cure. If one is conscious of curing bad forces indicated in Trimsamsa,
one would not have any weakness at all. This is the best remedy of any weaknesses.
Lagna of rasi chart shows the native himself. Lagna Trimsamsa shows his weaknesses. In this it
is opposite of what is shown by a Drekkana chart, the chart of strengths.
The sources of weaknesses (and related troubles) can also be seen from the three houses which
control the longevity, i.e., Lagna, Eighth and Tenth, whereby the strength of the lords of these
three houses give the clue to the longevity of the house under consideration, affliction to these
houses by natural malefics or 6th lord of Rasi Chart. These planets also indicate the troubles in
the body parts governed by them.
For timing of weaknesses: Naisargika dasa (natural period) is a wonderful tool in finding out
3
negative experiences one is likely to go through in this life. i.e.,

Mars: 2nd to 5th year of age,
Mercury: 5th to 12th;
Venus: 13th to 32nd;
Jupiter: 33rd to 50th;
Saturn: beyond 50th year of age.
Any afflictions to these planets will show negative experiences in the corresponding age group.
This is also an indication of the curses on these planets known from Trimsamsa.
For timing of the diseases or difficult periods: The effective system is the Vimshottari Dasha
system. The Maha dashas of the afflicting or afflicted planets in the sub-dasha of another
afflicting or afflicted planet tend to trigger the onset of the disease indicated on the chart. The
transits are used to fine tune time and prediction. Difficult dashas or sub dashas of the planets
debilitated/ combust /defeated/afflicted lagna lord/malefic planets/ connected to 6th or 8th or 12th
houses/ connected to dushtana houses / connected to malefic planets.
The transits (Gochara)-The manifestation of a disease is usually a combination of an adverse
Dasha and an adverse transit happening at the same time. It is important to watch the transits of
the lagna ruler over bad houses/ low ashtakavarga bindu houses/ when it is aspected by malefic
planets. The adverse transits of Mars or Ketu can bring sudden or acute diseases, accidents,
wounds, injuries by fire, pitta aggravation or surgery. The adverse transits of Saturn or Rahu can
bring vatha aggrevation/ pain/chronic disease/ stagnation/ worries / fall from grace.
Remedies: A remedy can be suggested based on Trimsamsa Lagna lord i.e.,
if Saturn- Pranayama;
if Jupiter- Meditation;
if Mars-Light a lamp;
if Venus-Puja or Daana(charity);
if Mercury- Mantra Japa.
One school of thought suggest that one who worships all the above Panchadevatas everyday)
shall have a smooth life and shall always be protected irrespective of evils, because all
Trimsamsas are covered by this worship.
In Panchopachara Puja, the five tattvas can be propitiated by using the materials signified by
them i.e.
for Agni- Deepa - Lighting a lamp;
for Prthvi- Gandha- Perfume ;
for Vayu- Dhoopa- Incense stick ;
for Jala- Naivaidya- Food ;
for Akasha- Pushpa.
Another best remedy for any planet is to worship the Deity concerned with the planet's
trimsamsa. i.e.
if Sun is in Mars's Trimsamsa- Agni- worship Surya ;
if in Mercury's Trimsamsa- Prthvi- worship Ganesha ;
if in Venus's Trimsamsa- Jala- worship Devi ;
if in Saturn's Trimsamsa- Vayu- worship Shiva ;
if in Jupiter's Trimsamsa- Akasha- worship Narayana .
That will remove negativity of that planet.

===========================================================
Meaning of the word 'Esoteric'
Philosophically, 'ESOTERIC' mean the one hidden from all but well know in a
particular group of an esoteric cult.
Great Philosophers like Plato, Aristotle were concealing the 'true' doctrines from all
except to their followers mostly because the messages cannot easily be understood by one
and all.
Ancient philosophies are of two types Exoteric and Esoteric. Exoteric are those which are
understandable only to philosophers whereas Esoteric are those which cannot easily be
understood by all. This has profoundly affected modern thought and the exoteric matters are
becoming esoteric in a course of time.
Esoteric meanings of names used in the worship of Gods in Hindu Mythology

The power of the Word of 'God' is effective and predominant over the material as well
as spiritual matters.
God is powerful in all things, and that the verses/ mantras chanted on GOD/Goddess
have exoteric and esoteric meaning. Neither their outward prevents their inward, nor do their
inwards prevent their outward meaning. The greater truths are often hidden behind the veil of
metaphors. 'Esoteric' is synonymous to 'mysterious'. Mystery is a hidden secret and is
spiritual. Although many can see and hear many things all cannot not understand all of them
as they themselves may not believe it and may not experience it.
Hindus worship GOD in different forms - GOD / GODESS. Each name used in a
worship do suggest an esoteric meaning.
Esoteric meaning of the names used in the worship of Lalitha devi-
Hindus, in Srividya tradition worship Goddess 'Lalitha Devi' with so much emphasis on
the liturgical listing of 1000 names (Lalithasahasranam), their symbolism give much insight
into the esoteric ism of this goddess.
Names of Lalitha suggests that she is beyond conceptualization, she is omnipotent, and
a single form of creator, maintainer and destroyer. On gross level she is everything that is
three-fold in this universe, including (to name a few) the three worlds, three energies, and
three tattvas.
On a more subtle level, Lalita is the nature of Siva, Sakti,and Atman. Thus, Siva is Sakti
and Sakti is Siva; the two are one and the same in a constant union.
Pure Consciousness does not exist without the Creative Energy. Each individual Atman
is no different than either Siva or Sakti. Atman is, itself, the union of the two and is, itself,
Absolute Divinity.
1
The Sri Vidya tradition claims that these three categories do not differ from one another.
Thus, once the knower" begins the "process of knowing," that "knower"actually becomes the
"object of knowledge.".
In this realization, one travels from the manifest world back into the Bindu Point and into
the Absolute Consciousness.
Translating this into "Lalita language," a devotee himself becomes the Absolute by
worshiping reciting the mantra of Lalitha, the Supreme Consciousness. Knowing oneself to
be God, experiencing in full the presence of Lalita is salvation (moksha)
Esoteric Meaning of the Ten Avataras in Hindu Mythology
"Asato Maa Sat-Gamaya, - Tamaso Maa Jyotir-Gamaya, -Mrityor Maa Amritam-Gamaya"
The above prayer in Hindu scriptures epitomises the purpose of the Lords Creation,
the grand culmination of going back into that Transcendence out of which these countless
names and forms have been evolved as a blissful act of play by the One without a second.
The plan of the Divine Will is that out of the One infinite, names and forms may flow
out and for a time there may be a blissful play of this divine multiplicity and then once again,
when the Divine Wills, there may be a going back into the pristine glorious source.
This cycle of becoming and perishing, birth and death, is the characteristic of this
world-play. Thus, a going back into the original grandeur of Brahman means an ascent from
this unreality into that Supreme Reality. This process is being worked out by all evolved
beings.
From time to time great ones have come, who have systematized this Cosmic plan and
formulated a method so that individuals in whom this purpose has been awakened may make
use of this method and reach the goal quickly, that they may consciously achieve this process
in themselves. These methods have come to the various religions of humanity. Gradually,
these religions have had a greater and ever-widening group of followers. These great groups
exist all over the world as the great section of Hindus, Buddhists, Muslims, Christians, and so
on.
But the one inescapable fundamental fact about these religions remains that all these
various religions are but methods which seek to work out in some way or other the ascent of
man from birth and death to Immortality.
The ten Avataras of the Lord, which are described in Hindu scriptures, are an order
calculated to teach us a sublime spiritual lesson.
Lord said in Bhagavad Gita, "Sambhavami Yuge Yuge", which mean that He
incarnates Himself, whenever necessary, to put mankind into correct path to lead Divine life.
The gist of Avataras is to kill brutality in man and correct him towards Divinity.
1. Matsya (Fish) Avatara.- Fish lives in water, shut out from the two important elements for
lifepure air and sunlight. Yet, if you liberate the fish from its aquatic prison and place it in
life-giving sunshine surrounded by fresh air, it is greatly distressed and would die in a few
minutes. Similarly, the man who is sunk in worldliness, who is worse than a beast, cannot
bear the sunlight of godliness and fresh, pure air of divine life. He revels in his own dark
region deprived of all spiritual light.
2. Kurma (Tortoise) Avatara.- The tortoise lives in water; but is able, to an extent, to live on
the shore, too. This corresponds to the first-stages of mans career from bestiality to humanity
and from humanity to divinity. He likes to live sunk in ignorance, but does not seriously mind
the light of truth.
2
3. Varaha (Boar) Avatara. - Here the evolution has taken the Jiva completely away from this
worse-than-beast stage, away from the aquatic prison, and the boar, though considered as the
lowest among the animals, is yet an animal and lives on mother earth, basking in sunshine
and breathing fresh air.
4.The Nrisimha (the Man-lion) Avatara - crown of animal-creation. Integrated personality

indicates the beast nature in man. Great violent with a purpose of killing. Violence and the
spirit of destruction is main in this while trying to transcend the bestiality;
5.The Vamana (the Dwarf) Avatara.- No animal nature. It is completely human with a greatly
limited capacity. This avatar suggests that the man is capable of transcending all limitations
and realising his unity with Brahman.
6. The Parasurama Avatara a man where the humanity has supervened. From this there are
three object-lessons.-
I) One must sub serve his will to that of his 'Guru' His perfect faith in father as 'Guru'
led to implicit obedience and perfect subservience to the higher will. As per father's
order he killed his mother and when the same father granted a boon he used it with a
request to get back the mother live. His father got her back to life.
II) Any can rise into divine nature only by annihilating his brutal nature and by
sublimating the human nature, Unrighteous kings were killed by Parasurama much
against Sattva nature of his Bramin cult. This shows that in Yoga sadhana certain
amount of destruction is absolutely necessary.
III) One should nullify his brutal nature and then, he becomes a true human being. One
should learn to sub serve his Guru, and then he should destroy all hurdles in the way.
To please his father Parasurama has killed a king who has stolen a milk cow from his
father. But, father warned him for forgetting his own dharma as a Brahmin who
should not retaliate, and should only be patient as a sign of forbearance and
forgiveness. Father has also punished him to undertake a countrywide pilgrimage.
7. Rama Avatara One should serve his Guru with love, sincerity and obedience for
liberation or God-realisation. Sri Rama killed many Asuras as told by his Guru Vismamitra,
and by his Grace Sri Rama followed Sattvic virtues like truthfulness, love, compassion and
purity. Similarly, we
8. Krishna Avatara, -a Purna Avatara. - Tells any spiritual aspirant with all necessary
teachings to attain one-ness with God. He must serve humanity in all respects, without
distinction of caste, creed or sect. Sri Krishna was trying compromise to avert the
Kurukshetra war. Sri Krishna practised and preached the selfless service, in the Bhagavad
Gita.
9. Buddha Avatara. -taught that one can attain God-realisation by practicing even a
single divine virtue of non-violence (Ahimsa) in thought, word and deed.
10. Kalki Avatara. - which is meant for removing the ignorance in humanity by awaking
consciousness of Divinity.
3
Esoteric meaning of the Twelve signs as Ascendant.
Human soul has a wide purpose with its arenas of growth, levels of consciousness and
service. Soul's purpose is reflected in the esoteric meaning of the ascendant sign in zodiac.
Following are the brief symptoms of ascendant signs and are to be seen in comprehension
with modifications in the light of its connection to planets.
ARIES - Replacing instant desire with will; assertively increasing the Higher Self;
discerning and also by embodying Divine Will.
TAURUS wise steward of the Earth's resources, utilizing them for the fulfillment of the
Divine Plan; transmutes material attachment into spiritual aspiration
GEMINI - Giving love and applying wisdom lovingly and help to connect people and
promote planet wide unity of all Humanity
CANCER - Realizing the Oneness of all manifested life, human, animal, vegetable, and
mineral to mass consciousness to uplift and inspire Humanity toward the universal Love of
the heart chakra
LEO - Becoming centered in God-consciousness with perfect personality with soul energy to
radiate Love to others to usher to a higher planetary consciousness
VIRGO - Refining the personality to receive the energies of the soul and to sow God
Consciousness to rearrange the physical plane to receive the higher energy necessary for
planetary initiation
LIBRA - Seeing everyone as part of oneself to develop Wholeness through cooperation with
the Higher Self and the Divine Plan.
SCORPIO - Transmuting lower desires into Higher Will as a spiritual warrior and catalyst of
healing through the embodiment and transmission of Divine Power
SAGITTARIUS With the experience of all facets of human life develops complete
acceptance, understanding, and love of other. Inspires others toward greater understanding of
life and of each other with a torch of Light and Love.
CAPRICORN - Working productively develops patience, persistence, and perseverance.

Progresses spiritually with assumption of greater responsibilities in helping to manifest the
Divine Plan on Earth
AQUARIUS Realising the universality of Spirit, the Divine essence, Unity of all beings,
interplanetary and extra planetary. Serving uniquely and in a cooperatively with others.
Works under the direction of the Planetary Hierarchy. Helps the whole of Humanity to
awaken in consciousness.
PISCES Getting aware of ingrained personal attitudes, cultural thought forms, and societal
institutions which hinder planetary progress. Then yielding Power to transmute them into
higher forms of energy to clear the way for the new thought forms which will serve the
Divine Plan of evolution for the planet and the solar system.

Esoteric nature of planetary energies as rulers of signs.
An esoteric view of zodiac signs and their lords reveal much about the soul's path in
the cycle of re-births.
A study of Leo and its ruler tell that Sun's energy, esoterically, has a triadic nature
with three aspects i.e., Physical level; heart level; and Spiritual level. Sun rules Leo on both
exoteric and esoteric levels.
Neptune is the agents to carry to earth the energies of the Sun at heart level while
Uranus play such role at the Spiritual level. Thus the Sun cover both Neptune and Uranus.
The Sun symbolizes the personality, and in Leo the personality undergoes an
evolution in self awareness from the personal to the trans personal.
Selfishness, egotism, and personal will are being conquered for Universal Love. In
this the Sun,Uranus and Neptune, are involved.
Leo contributes to the development and expression of self consciousness, with a
realisation of the existence of something greater than just physical body which binds all
human being. On a next step, the Sun with Neptune one realizes and somehow helps to make
life better for ones brothers and sisters in the Family of Humanity. Then the mind
increasingly responds to the Soul which dominates in awareness with supreme consciousness.
Esoteric Astrology for the Age of Aquarius
The Age of Aquarius is just commencing. And the traditional astrology is evolving
toward 'Esoteric Astrology. Thus the causes rather than effects are essential to study the
path of human soul behind the outer body form.
Soul is imperishable, eternal and with expanding consciousness in purpose to
nullify karma in the repeated cycle of rebirths.
In present astrological practices- both in personality astrology and psychological
astrology- matters dealt with are of mundane, spiritual, fortune telling, and to bring
about integration and wholeness.
Esoteric Astrology contemplates a larger perspective of life not only as an
inhabitant in this solar system but also participating as an energy center within a
greater solar life.
Esoteric Astrology & the Seven Rays
Greatest psychologists of last century developed Psycho synthesis techniques

from the Seven Rays. Esoteric astrology take the help of theories of such Science of
Seven Rays.
The planets are simple instruments for the energies to transmit to Earth through
the zodiac whose signs have special reactions with the rays.
The rays can be studied by themselves and constitute what is known as Esoteric
Psychology.
The seven rays were attributed to the important aspects of human life. They are
Will power, Love wisdom, and Active intelligence, Harmony through conflict, Concrete
science, Devotion idealism, and Ceremonial order. Each of them have virtues and vices.
Will power may be in destruction, Love-wisdom lead to dispassion, Active intelligence
may adapt manipulation, harmony may cause forceful conflict, Concrete science may
help practical application, Devotion and Idealism may bring aggressiveness, Ceremonial
order with emphasis on Creative process manifests into forms.
The Seven Rays correspond to many septenaries, which provide the basic
building blocks of occultism.
Planets rule rays, similar to astrological ruler ships, hence the interface between
rays, planets & zodiac signs is interesting. To commence the study of horoscope is to
determine the rays, first and then interpret the horoscope in light of the rays. These rays

also correspond to Chakras, planets. Chakra qualities vary in each individual according to
his stage of evolution.

Who can seek Esoteric Astrology Readings ?
For best results those who want an Esoteric Astrological reading should be backed by
the right reasons for seeking such a reading. Esoteric Astrology seekers must be at a point in
their spiritual development and such reading must be of a value to them.
Such seekers themselves receive more information in their Spiritual experiences than
in an esoteric astrological reading. One's own spiritual practices are more useful than the

General Hints in Predictive Astrology ( for beginners)*
by Prof.C.Sambasiva Rao , Chairman, Universal College of Astrology, Hyderabad.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Published in Souvenir released on the occasion of Aseethi Celebrations of Guruji Shri
P.V.K.Punneswara Rao Atrologer in October 2004 at Hyderabad.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
1. Interpretation of horoscope is a matter of decoding divine qualities of zodiac and of

planets.
2. Objective analysis is to be made with proper wording to prevent possible errors and ill
effects thereto on natives psychology.
3. All efforts should be taken to see that this science of Astrology do not create wrong
fears or undue confidence.
4. The duty of Astrologer is to follow a code of discipline to ensure that this divine
science is useful to all.
5. Accurate and useful prediction is, in a sense, a gut feeling of a good practitioner with a
divine blessing.
6. Initiate the study of any chart with respects to Guru, Ishta daivam and Science of
Astrology and with a sense of utility to native.
7. No planet is isolated. All planets work in a concerted manner. At any given time native
gets a package deal of all planets with a leadership of one or more planets depending on
their strength in dasa system and / or in transit.
8. Base is only 27 stars, 9 planets and 12 rasis, 12 bhavas - with innumerable number of
permutations and combinations anything can be proved / disproved in astrology.
Predictive skills should be refined every time, to guard, against such complexities.
9. Basics like graha tatwa, bhava tatwa and rasi tatwa to be analyzed everytime . Graha
tatwa to be studied in relation to bhava tatwa without ignoring the background rasi tatwa
10. Longevity, Lagna and 11th bhava strength are to be invariably considered while
reading any bhava.
11. Always elicit and use properly the environmental data like - age, aptitude, medical
reports, inheritances, social conditions etc,
12. Do not get hurried OR hesitant to conclude prediction.
13. Express negative OR positive predictions in a useful way.
14. Do not mix different systems of astrology.
15. Do not get biased by any attachment to the native / perturbed by events under study-
Following are some of the instances where one is likely to get into an unknown bias.
i.study of chart of a relative / friend ,
ii.study of a chart dealt with earlier ,
iii.review of an earlier prediction ,
iv. Critical family affairs, financial crisis, medical condition, etc.
16. Mathematical calculations should be meticulous but not to the extent of eroding
predictive skills. Calculations are for quantitative analysis while predictive part is a
qualitative assessment. Both are important and are to be used in a judicious way.
17. Disciplined way of life and detailed study of the system and careful observation of
chart definitely lead to valuable readings.
18. Intuition of astrologer plays a vital role in predictions. Intuition is described, in a way,
as a sixth sense. Using all known five senses in a disciplined way is a definite base for
best intuition. This is first step to reach higher levels and should be practiced by
everyone.
19. Common sense is the essential element in predictive part of astrology.
1
20. Astrology subject do have some limitations - like any other science - One should use
this science within the limitations to draw the best results.
21. Clarify to everyone what can be known / what is to be known / how to know anything
from the science of astrology - it is a divine subject - everything / anything / at any time /
by anybody cannot be known without divine blessing.
22. Revelations of Karma theory cannot be ignored in the study of astrology.
Karma theory reveal the prevailing mix of prarabdha, sanchita, agami with the aid of Sun
(atmakaraka), Moon (manokaraka) and other five planets (representing human body i.,
flesh, blood, bones etc, Just as human body is subjected to the influence of biological
inheritance, environmental effects etc., the soul is subjected to the prarabdha karma.
Combined action of soul and body is the result of human actions. These actions are
qualified by satwa, rajo,and thamo gunas of mind. In short, the input of human actions are
qualified by satwa, rajo, thamo gunas while the output get classified into dharma, ardha,
kama, moksha. The output can again be, broadly, classified into spiritual (dharma,
moksha) and materialistic (ardha,kama). In Predictions bhava results do fall into
spiritual/material aspect of life. In the light of this the role of Karma theory cannot be
ignored in predictive astrology.
Significance of astrology is to be seen in the light of highest level of human attainment.

Astrology teaches in great detail about the controls upon us. The real value of astrology
is gained when the astrologer and the client are convinced of the need for spiritual
progress in their lives.
Note: List of hints cannot be concluded - anytime anybody's experience can improve
the list. Hence reader is requested to improve for better use and circulate.

Importance of TRANSIT Astrology

Transit astrology (gochara) refers to the influence of a transiting planet when in contact
with the birth time position of itself or of other planets in the natal chart. This is followed
both in sayana and nirayana systems
Influence of transits in astrological studies is highly important as every planet is always in

transit. Natal chart indicate the position of planets at birth time. Natal charts sometimes lead
us to a false impression that the planets are stagnant in the natal position. But no planet is
stagnant at any time. They constantly move in their respective tracks.
Transiting movement of planets indicates a probable time of an opportunity for development

or otherwise with the potential promised in natal chart.
Transit astrology is the study of constantly changing angular distances of ever moving
planets with the sensitive areas in natal chart.
The transiting planets happen to touch the same point at regular intervals as per their speed.
The fast moving planets conjunction with their natal positions repeats at shorter intervals
while that of slow moving planets repeats at very long intervals.
Transit chart: Transiting planets are shown over the natal chart, generally, in outer circle.
This is to indicate the angular distance of transiting planets to those of the natal position of
planets and bhava sputas.
Natal Chart: A natal chart is the snapshot of planetary configuration at a given birth time.
Planets after birth time also continue to move in respective tracks while the native is growing
in age - mentally and physically.
Planets are posited at specified points in a natal chart as per the past life karma of the native.
Stellar astrology theories imply that in a natal chart planet(s) are hosted by star(s) as per the
nature of previous karma of the native. Moon posited star is picked as Birth Star for
astrological study because Moon is manokaraka. Role of mind is important in formation of

: Critical times may be embedded with good opportunities:: Happy times may have disguised slippery chances:

present life events. Mind is the threshold for the entry of previous life events in to this life.
Negative feelings of mind like envy, jealous, anger, revenge etc., are the entry time
symptoms of past life bad karma influence.
Natal chart is a zodiac of 360 degrees spread in 12 signs with 12 bhava sputas and 12
planetary sputas. Here, planets are taken as 12 including the Nodes and Uranus, Neptune and
Pluto.
Natal chart is analyzed on the basis of Graha Tatwa plus Bhava Tatwa and Rasi tatwa. The
analysis is focused on the position of planet in a bhava and the rasi behind such a position.
Sensitive areas in Natal chart: Out of 3600 of Zodiac the sensitive areas are only 24 points
i.e., 12 bhava sputas and 12 graha sputas.
In advanced theories some points like sahamas, brigu bindu, mid points etc are also
considered as sensitive areas in natal chart. These points are arrived as per certain formulae
and marked in natal chart.
Sensitive time: The sensitive time is the time when a transiting planet contacts/aspects a
sensitive area in natal chart.
Contacts (aspects and conjunctions): Contact of transiting planet with the sensitive area in
natal chart is in many ways e.g., aspects or conjoins the natal position of all planets.
Conjunction is rapt and wide. Here consider the aspects of both Vedic and Western astrology.
Natal chart indicate the opportunities and strengths of the native. Transit charts indicate the
time of fructification of events as per the favorable and unfavorable angular distances of the
transiting planets to sensitive areas in natal chart.
Caution: Transiting planets by NO MEANS are capable of giving any extra benefits than
what is promised in the natal chart.
Transit astrology (gochara) is of different types Some of them are given below.
1. Lunar gochara - Based on sign wise distance of transiting planets from the natal sign
position of Moon in natal chart.
2. Tarabalam - based on the distance of transiting moon posited star from the birth star
in natal chart. Mostly used in election astrology.
3. Chandra ashtamam based on the sign wise distance of transiting moon from the
Moon occupied sign in natal chart. Mostly used in election astrology.
4. Sadesati, kanataka sani periods based on the distance of transiting Saturn posited
sign from the moon posited sign in natal chart.
5. Lagna Gochara: Deals with the sign wise distance of transiting planets from the
lagna sign in natal chart.
6. Stellar Gochara: Deals with the distances between the stellar positions of transiting
planets from the birth star in natal chart.
Contd.

7. Ashtaka Vargu: Kakshas and bindus in natal chart indicate the transit results.
Strength of the transiting planet is dependent on the Kakshas occupied in transits as
well as the bindus in each Kaksha in natal chart.
8. Tajaka System Vashapala chart is cast as per the sun position in transit. Natal
chart is progressed in time. The distance of transiting planets in that year and the
Sahama points in Varshapal chart are used for further analysis. This is somewhat
similar to the Progression charts made very year in Western system of astrology.
Progression charts made in Western astrology or Varshpal charts in Tajaka system
indicate the psychological developments occurred by that age within the native. In a
way they supplement the study of natal charts.
9. KP system for fine tuning of the transit results the position of transiting planets in
all 249 subs in 3600 are studied.
10. Vimshottari Dasa system adopted in the Vedic astrology is based on the
presumption of progression of natal MOON position. Progression of Moon concept is
somewhat similar concept of Sun progression in Western astrology.
Suggested mode of study in transit astrology
Main concept in all the transit studies is to see the angular distances of transiting
planets to the sensitive areas in natal chart just to arrive at the sensitive time. In view of
this main concept the following methods are suggested to always begin a study of transit
influence on the sensitive areas in natal chart.
1. Observe the natal positions of 12 bahava sputas and 9 planetary sputas in natal chart.
If one is conversant with the use of Uranus, Neptune and Pluto they can include them
also.
2. Observe the transit chart and the 9 or 12 planetary positions in transit chart.
3. Verify current situation:
(i) With the current dasa bhukti and antara lords in transit chart and their angular
distance with their natal positions. This indicates what the native is presently
experiencing good / bad.
(ii) With the bhavas indicated by current dasa/ bhuti/antara lords as per natal chart
and the malefic /benefic indications when interpolated with their transit
positions.
4. Now come to the purpose of present study e.g., education / job/ marriage etc.,
(i) Verify how far the current dasa / bhukti / antara lords are favorable as per their
natal and transit positions. ( as per item 3 above)
(ii) Now verify the transit of major planets like Saturn, Rahu-ketu, Jupiter- see
how far they are favorable or otherwise for the bhava(s) under study.
5. Study of transits is important -
(i) Bad transits are likely to damage the good configuration promised in natal
chart.
(ii) At the same time if a bad configuration is seen in natal chart a good transit
can rarely repair the likely damage.
Contd.
4
Caution: Transiting planets by NO MEANS are capable of giving any extra benefits than
what is promised in the natal chart.
6. Natal chart indicate the strengths and weakness and the transits provide opportunities
and the scope to fructify events.
7. Observe whether any natal planet is under the influence of TRIPLE transit one
from slow moving planets and other from fast moving planets. Slow moving planets
provide benefic / malefic background and the fast moving planets set the time of event
good / bad. Slow moving planets are Jupiter, Saturn, Rahu-Ketu, Uranus, Neptune
and Pluto. Fast moving planets are Sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars and Moon.
8. Angular distances are expressed by way of aspects. In fact, in a zodiac of 3600 the
angular distances, if measured geometrically, from a point to point result in more
than 100 connections. They start from conjunction i.e, in same degree to opposite and
to the other half side. But, for practical purposes, few effective angles are taken in
Vedic astrology and also in Western astrology. Vedic astrology recognized 7th aspect
to all planets and special aspects to Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. Western astrology
recognized conjunction, sextile, square, trine, opposition etc.,
9. Approaching and Separating aspects in zodiac Faster moving planet crosses a
slow moving planet in zodiac at any time. A transiting planet while reaching an exact
conjunction / aspect to a sensitive area makes an applying aspect and after that
conjunction / aspect resorts to separating aspect. This cannot be ignored. Applying
aspect is essential as any event in life need a gestation period to fructify. Time taken
in applying aspect is likely to coincide with the gestation time taken in fructification
of a life event. This is to be verified in each case and at every time. Example-
Gestation time for getting a job involves getting information about availability of job;
applying for it; getting an interview; getting selection and joining in a job. All these
stages can be traced in phases in the duration of applying aspect. Time span of
separating aspect may indicate the strengthening / worsening of the event so
occurred.
10. Fructification of event always include the happening or not happening of an
event.
11. Retrograde planets in transit Transiting planets apparent retro motions have a
deep meaning in the fructification of event. This relates to the study of natal planets
direct or retro position. During retro motion a planet get stagnant twice before going
to retro and turning to direct motion. An event triggered in direct /retro motion may
get fructified (benefic/malefic) when the retro planet get retro / directed. Some
theories have ignored the retro motion. Yet, expert observations indicate that the study
of retro movements is essentially indicating minor and major changes. In the present
complex life situations a planet(s) retro motions cannot be ignored.
12. Planetary return When a transit planet touches the exact point of its natal position
it is said as planetary return. Planet is beginning a new cycle in individuals life.
Important are the return of Jupiter, Saturn, Rahu-Ketu, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto.
Half returns i.e., when the planet touches the 180 degrees to its natal position is also
Contd.
5
important. Particularly return of Uranus, Neptune and Pluto may not occur in short
life and medium life periods. So half return is important in case of Uranus, Neptune
and Pluto.
(i) Jupiter return is the ideal time for growth and development. All efforts will
be rewarded.
(ii) Saturn return is often a difficult and challenging time but the decisions taken
in this period will have long lasting effect.
(iii) Uranus return half return or full return as per age span creates casual
filtrations in relationships, routine life styles are broken, people develop new
interests, Many women experience pre-menopause stage in half return of
Uranus. Men are also likely to experience pre-male menopause.
(iv) Rahu-Ketu return or half return to their natal positions health care is
essential.
Following TABLE show some of the broad effects of transiting planets noticed by experts.
Caution- These are general indications and every one must essentially make a holistic
approach to the entire natal chart and all transiting planets in finalizing the study results.
No planets work isolation. At any given time, native gets a package deal of all planets with a
leadership of one or more planets by virtue of their dasa periods, lordships, transits etc.,

An Introduction to Hindu Predictive Astrology*
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Published in TELUGU JAGATHI - World Telugu Federation Conference Souvenir - Dec.2002 held at Singapore -pp127-130
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Introduction: Purpose of this article is to introduce the subject of Astrology to non-astrologers (i.e., who are
new to the subject) Astrology is an age-old subject prevalent all over the World in some form or the other.
Hindu system of Astrology is considered as a part of Vedas. A detailed study, in a formal way, is well advised
for a comprehensive approach.
Purpose of Astrology: Astrology is required for everyone like mathematics. Even an illiterate is
aware of mathematics. Similarly everyone is having a sense of planets and their effects on human life
and on himself more precisely. Hence every one can also understand Astrology. But only learned
Astrologers are able to express, in words, their findings. Knowledge of Astrology is essential to
understand intricacies of life to plan for remedial actions. Planetary rays have effect on human life as
evident from the effect of Sunrays on human body. The cosmic energy modifies bio-energy in a
human being.
Human activities are qualified by satwic, rajasic and tamasic qualities. The output of human
activity is classified as dharma, artha, kama, moksha. Human life is like a coin with two sides i.e.,
materialistic and spiritualistic sides.
Every day / night is good for human life. Good and bad are relative terms. A day suitable for
materialistic purpose may not suit for spiritual purpose. Astrology helps to make use of time in a best
way with proper planning for material / spiritual goals. Any life guided correctly is like a nourished
garden.
Influence of planets on each individual is studied with the help of planetary configuration at
his birth time interpolated with the transitory influence of planets on the life of that individual from
time to time. A common doubt, in this, is when two human beings are born at the same time how the
individual fate is differing and how it can be read from the same horoscope.
Once own activities are causes of his destiny. Human being is bestowed with higher
intelligence. With the acceptance of concept of rebirth and doctrine of karma it is clear that every one
carries with him the memories of previous life. Those memories qualify the activities in present life.
This is explained as Sanchita (i.e., what is brought forward from previous life); Prarabdha (i.e,
activites in present life); and Agami (i.e., what is to be carried over to next life).
A common doubt, again, is when cosmic rays control human activity at large how the
sanchita, prarabdha and agami differing. Here it is to be observed that every one is bestowed with
ichha sakti (will power); gnana sakti (intelligence) and kriya sakti (human effort). Human being with
his dominating ichha sakti, gnana sakti and kriya sakti is modifying sanchita karma / defining
prarabdha / qualifying agami karma.
Knowledge of Astrology is needed to understand the intricacies involved and plan human
activity for better results in materialistic / spiritualistic goals. Although one need to work for
materialistic goals in middle age ultimately every one has to work for spiritualistic goals. Hence
suitability of time is to be seen from Astrology for timely achievement of different goals.
What is Horoscope ? - Method of Casting of Horoscope is not dealt with, in this article, for brevity
and it is essentially recommended to every reader to learn detailed techniques of casting of a
horoscope for comprehensive approach. Horoscope is a map of heaven at a given time, say birth time
or query time, indicating the longitudinal positions of planets in natural zodiac. A broad belt of 9 on
each side of the Suns apparent path around earth is called natural zodiac ( Bhachakara). This is
divided into 12 parts called signs or rasis each spreading to 30. They are named as Aries, Taurus,
Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces.
In making a horoscope there are two schools of thought i.e., Fixed (Nirayana) zodiac and
Moving (Sayana) zodiac. Hindu system mostly follows fixed (Nirayana) system. Astronomical
theories followed by different astrologers resulted in different systems.
The mathematical difference in fixed and moving zodiac is called as Ayanamsa. Among the
duration of Ayananmsa also Astronomers and thereby Astrologers differ in the time of coincidence of
1
moving zodiac with fixed zodiac. Prominent among the followed are Lahari ayanamsa, B.V.Raman
ayanamsa, and K.P.ayanamsa.
Solar system : Planets move around Sun in their orbit in the sequence of Mercury, Venus, Earth,
Mars,Jupiter, Saturn. Moon moves around Earth. Rahu and Ketu are not planets. They are formed
with the inter-section of planetary rays They are called shadow planets and are, however, given
planetary status by classical astrologers.
Stars : According to ancient astrological cannons the zodiac is divided into 27 lunar mansions each
extending to 13 20. They are also called as Asterisms or Stars. These mansions are grouped as triads
and a planet is said to rule each triad. The names of stars, the planets that rule them and planets
respective periods in Vimshotari dasa are as follows. No.of the star indicates its sequential place in
natural zodiac i.e., 1. Aswini 2.Bharani and so on.
1.Aswini, 10.Makha, 19.Moola,-Ketu-7 years; 2.Bharani, 11.Pubba, 20.Purvashada,Venus- 20yrs;

3.Kritika, 12.Uttara, 21.Uttarashada, Sun-6yrs; 4.Rohini, 13.Hasta, 22.Sravanam, Moon-10yrs;
5.Mrigasira, 14.Chitta, 23.Dhanishta,Mars-7yrs; 6.Arudra, 15.Swati, 24.Satabhisham,Rahu-18yrs
7.Punervasu, 16.Visakha, 25.Purvabhadra,Jupiter-16yrs; 8.Pushyami, 17.Anuradha, 26.Uttarabhadra,
Saturn-19yrs; 9.Aslesha, 18.Jeyshta, 27.Revathi. Mercury- 17 yrs.
Rasi Tatwa - in general. Each sign has certain natural qualities as given below.
Aries: Fiery, Movable, Odd sign, Prishtodaya, Rasi lord Mars; Taurus: Earthy, Fixed, Even,
Prishtodaya, Rasi lord Venus.; Gemini: Airy, Dual , Odd, Ubhayodaya, Rasi lord- Mercury;
Cancer: Watery, Movable, Even, Prishtodaya, Rasi lord- Moon; Leo: Fiery, Fixed, Odd,
Sirshodaya, Rasi lord- Sun; Virgo : Earthy, Dual, Even, Sirshodaya, Rasi lord Mercury; Libra :
Airy, Movable, Odd, Sirshodaya, Rasi lord Venus; Scorpio: Watery, Fixed, Even, Sirshodaya, Rasi
lord- Mars; Sagittarius : Fiery, Dual, Odd, Prishtodaya, Rasi lord- Jupiter; Capricorn: Earthy,
Movable, Even, Prishtodaya, Rasi lord Saturn; Aquarius: Airy, Fixed,Odd, Sirshodaya, Rasi lord
Saturn; Pisces: Watery, Dual, Even, Ubhayodaya, Rasi lord- Jupiter.
Bhavas Bhava Tatwa : Natural zodiac marked with planetary positions is divided into 12 parts
called bhavas- this is within the natural division of 12 signs. Planets marked in various signs, are thus,
seen in different bhavas. The first bhava is called Lagna or Ascendant. Ascendant is the raising sign,
in natural zodiac, on eastern horizon at the time for which horoscope is made. Lagna is a benchmark
to commence the reading of a horoscope. Various bhavas indicate different aspects of human life as
detailed below. Classical astrologers also suggest to commence reading the horoscope from the
strongest among Lagna / Suns rasi / Moon rasi.
1st Bhava / Lagna / Ascendent Body, soul, general temperament,; 2nd- Money , speech, family,
eyes, ears, face, education, longevity.; 3rd - brothers, sisters, courage, anger, idea, friends,
longevity.;4th- Mother, education, vehicles, lands, immovable property, houses, face, wells, water
tanks, agriculture, cattle, crops, relatives; 5th- Progeny, Education, Intelligence, Skills, Tantric skills,
Speculation; 6th- Enemies, debts, diseases, service matters, competitive exams., 7th - spouse, Marriage,
Lust, adultery, Comfort, longevity,. 8th- Longevity, Death, Hell, Sorrow.; 9th - father, comfort,
meditation, devotion, pilgrimage, kindness.; 10th - Profession, Power, Fame, Business; 11th - Gains,
elder sisters, and elder brothers, Monetary gains, success, longevity; 12th - Expenditure, loss, Wasteful
expenses, hell.
Graha tatwa in general: By virtue of planet(s) ownership of rasis, stars, and mutual friendship
among planets they transit in own signs, friendly/inimical signs, or exalted /debilitated signs or
moolatrikona signs. The strength of a planet differs as per their transitory position. Quality of planet-
graha tatwa- in general is as follows.
Sun: Rajasic,Atmakaraka, Pitrukaraka, Profession, Courage, Power, Eyes, Pittam.; Moon: Rajasic,
Mother, Mind, intelligence, beauty, water comfort, truth, silver, Cold; Mars: Tamasic, Brothers and
sisters, land, Courage, anger, logic, skill of using weapons, inimical, heat, leadership, small pox ;
Mercury: Satwik, Maths, astrology, business, medicine, skills, sculpture, cousins, philosophy,
2
intelligence, tantric, devotion to lord vishnu ; Jupiter: Satwik, Money, Education, progeny,
Astrology, Vedas, Acostics, Gold, House; Vehicle, religion, wealth, relatives, charity. Devotion to
god, truth; Venus: Rajasic, Spouse, marriage, music, art, pleasures with women, lust, adultry,
comfort, vehicle, wealth, power, humour; Saturn : Tamasic, Longevity, education of mean subjects,
worship of mean deities, death, bondage, small pox, illegal, bad behaviour, hell, mean life, huna vidya
(i.e., education of foreign language.) Rahu: Tamasic, Tanks, Maternal grand parents, Father,
Poisonous medicine, mean life, mean education.; Ketu: Tamasic, Salvation, Paternal grand parents,
Philosophical thinking, devotion to God, Renunciation, Knowledge.
Dasa system - Dasa/bhukti/antara periods : Dasa system is followed for timing of an event as per
bhava indications. Among different systems Vimshotari system is widely followed. In dasa system
each planet gets a leading role as Maha dasa (main period). Within the Main period of a planet all
other planets get sub-periods in a definite proportion. Within sub-period of a planet all others planets
are allotted sub-sub-periods. Main period is called Mahardasa and subsequent periods are called
bhukti, antara, etc. Aggregate of maha dasas of all planets is 120 years. The starting maha dasa and
balance thereon at birth time is arrived from the lord of the star where moon is posited at birth time
i.e. birth star.
Interpretation of a Horoscope Principles for Prediction:
Caution: Interpretation of horoscope is a matter of decoding divine qualities of zodiac and of planets. -
Objective analysis is to be made and properly worded to prevent possible errors and ill effects thereto on
natives psychology. - All efforts should be taken to see that this science of Astrology does not create wrong
fears or undue confidence.- The duty of Astrologer is to follow a code of discipline to ensure that this divine
science is useful to all.- Accurate and useful prediction is, in a sense, a gut feeling of a good practitioner with a
divine blessing.
General reading : Bhava results are blended with rasi tatwa and graha tatwa of other planets
associated in any way with bhava or bhava lord. No single planet works in isolation. At any given
time, the native is bestowed with a package deal of all planets with leadership of a planet(s). Detailed
reading of a horoscope is to be taken up after making divisional charts (shodasavargas) and arriving at
the shadbala strength of planets. However, for the benefit of beginners the approach, in brief, for
predictions from rasi chart is given below. A study in the following three directions is required.
1) A planet in a particular rasi e.g., Sun in Aries / Taurus/ Gemini etc., Moon in Aries, / Taurus/
Gemini etc., and so on. Sun in Aries active, intelligent, famous etc., when in Taurus- slow and
steady, hard worker, intelligent etc., Moon in Aries-likes travelling, impulsive, bold, aggressive etc.,
Moon in Taurus Happy, good looking, weaving mind etc., and so on
2) When a planet is in 1st bhava /2nd/3rd, and so on. E.g., Sun in Lagna short tempered, lives in
foreign land, courageous, wealthy etc., Sun in 2nd bhava fortunate, poor eye sight, troubles from
government etc., Moon in Lagna if moon is waxing and that lagna is Cancer, Aries, Taurus or Libra
handsome, learned otherwise bad effects. Moon in 2nd bhava happy, good friends, wealthy (if full
moon), etc.,
3) When a bhava lord is posited in another bhava the results of two bhavas are blended. E.g., the lord
of 1st bhava is posited in 1st bhava healthy, long-lived, hard-working etc., if in 2nd bhava-Wealthy,
respected, leadership etc., if in 3rd- good brothers, courageous, religious etc.,
Predictions are to be made by observing all the above three directions. For timing of results verify
dasa/bhukti/antara etc., period. Also consider the Gochara transit of leading planets and of
dasa/bhukti/antara lords to quantify and qualify (benefic/malefic) nature of events.
Gochara results: Transit results are studied with reference to lagna, or Chandra lagna. Chandra lagna
is the rasi where moon is posited at the time of birth. Counting from Chandra lagna is in wider
practice as we see daily / weekly / monthly / yearly forecasts in various journals. One school of
thought counts from birth star to a star where planet is posited in transit. By this, the transit results are

known for shorter periods. The following tables indicate the results of transit of a planet in different
stars counted from birth star in nirayana longitudes.
Count the number from birth star to the star where a planet is transiting. As per that number see col. 1 of
table I and pick corresponding number of the respective planet from cols. 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 of same Table . Use that
picked number in col.1 of Table II to check the result of that planet from col.2 of Table II.

Introduction to Palmistry
-----------
(This article is to introduce the subject of Palmistry. No exhaustive approach is made here. Reader's are
expected to attend classes under an expert guidance, for further studies and practice.)
Synopsis: Introduction; Origin of Palmistry; Significance of Palm - Biological, Psychological; Right Hand and
Left hand-Ancient and Modern Theories; Shape of the Hand; Medical palmistry.
Shape of one's hand-and-fingers, the way one close and open his palm indicate much of his
personality.
Medical studies reveal that the nerve endings in the hands are directly connected to the brain
and the lines are the graph of the brain's activity. It resembles the ECG of Heart functions.
As such the mentally retarded people have limited lines or no lines. As the changes in
personality and life styles occurs, in normal people, the lines in their palms also changes.
The patterns on our hands merely reflect what's already happened and how the native act or
react in a given situation in future. Palms reveal the strength and weaknesses of the natives.
Origin of Palmistry
Palmistry is an age old science. As per Hindu mythology Palmistry is a part of Anga Vidya
(Physiognomy) which was first invented by Sea God SAMUDRA so the subject is
named as Samudrika Sastra by sages like Narada and Gargya.
Lord Skanda is held to be pattern deity of this science. It is also felt that all Gods, Goddesses
and all sacred rivers have their symptoms shown in different parts of the palm. In an old
story it is said that the Prime Minister of Dusyamtha told Sakunthala that if the palm of child
to be born signify signs of royal birth the King will accept her as Queen. Napolean said
perhaps the face can deceive but never the hand.
Significance of Palm:
It is studied in two parts (1) Biological significance, and (2) Psychological significance.
A. Biological significance of Palm Chirognomy: Gives Biological significance deals

with Shape and development of the hand , fingers and nails.
Fingers signs of health troubles-i.e., short fingers indicate
Pale color- Weak constitution.
hasty nature
Yellow eyes- Jaundice First finger (pointing ) lungs defects
Coated Tongue indicate stomach troubles. Middle finger liver and stomach condition
Hand color- indicate vitality of person Third kidneys
Hand shape Shape of brain centre and its
Last (little)- Genetic and Sex troubles
development.
Nails - Nails Show health and vitality
1
B. Psychological significance of Palm-Chiromancy Gives Psychological significance
deals with the interpretation of lines on the hand.
i. Pattern of Papillary ridges formed in the fourth month of pregnancy (i.e., while in
mothers womb) and they do not change throughout life. These patterns exhibit
physical and mental defects kidney, rheumatism, ulcer, asthma etc., which the
person has acquired prior to birth congenital.
ii. Palm is divided into three zones -
Conscious will power;
Sub-Conscious hidden characteristics of the person
Middle social adaptability of the person
iii. Texture of hand refinement of mind;
iv. Elasticity of hand adaptability & quickness of mind;
v. Color of hand nature and temperament of person;
vi. Fingers & Nails culture, ambitions, many angularities of mind.
Right Hand & Left hand- Ancient theories adopted right hand for men and left hand for
women for the following reasons.
Right hand is active and left is passive In olden days men played active role while women
are submissive, passive and dependent on men for their livelihood.
Merits, strengths and weakness are revealed in active right hand while they are suppressed
in the right hands of passive, submissive and dependent women.
According to Hindu system indication of marriage is to be studied on the left hand on men
and on the right hand of women
Left hand is to be studied for children up to 14 years.
Latest theories indicate that -

Right or left handedness is a product of evolution. In child hood both hands are used up to
an age of around two years like a primitive man.
Left hand indicates one's sentiments and desires while the right hand reveal the possibility
of the fulfillment of desires.
Left handedness among men may be due to faulty position in mother's womb- mostly seen
in twins.
Modern theorists do accept that among generations it is proved that right handedness is
considered as normal while the left handedness is considered as abnormal. As such the...
Right hand reveal mental development and intellectual level while the left hand indicate the
inner world sub-conscious mind, hereditary characteristics etc.,
Left hemisphere in brain shows the conscious behavior and is connected to the right hand.
Right hemisphere in brain show sub-conscious behavior and is connected to the left hand.
Hence left handed people show abnormal traits. Left handed people lack average
intelligence and find difficult in reading and memorizing letters and numbers. YET it is not
a rule that left handed people are of less intelligence. Many left handed people can be seen
with extra ordinary life styles. Men with left handedness may aim at a successful career by
developing special skills.
Papillary ridges on both the hands are formed in the fourth month of the baby while in
mother's womb. In case of mentally defective persons, the papillary ridges show a
complicated net work in left hand because of the defects in right hemisphere.
These papillary ridges show defective formation in right hand in case of feeble minded
persons who do not have study outlook.
The Shape of the Hand -There are three main types of hands: round, square, and
rectangular.
2
Round, you are the active type. Quick-thinking, quick-acting, always on the go, always
trying to get ahead, ambitious, and goal-oriented.
Square, it indicates, as you might suspect, that you are earthy, hard-working, and capable of
solving problems (especially those of a logical nature).
Rectangular, you are more of a thinker, a creative type, more in dreaming.
Palmistry deals with many items like skin types, hand and finger Combinations, life line,
head line, heart line, fate line health line, sun line, auspicious and inauspicious marks etc.,
are studied to reveal various phases of life.
A separate branch as Medical Palmistry is very famous to diagnose in advance the probable
ill health and cure. For example, if three or four short parallel vertical lines are seen under
little finger the native is blessed with a wonderful healing touch. This is called the Medical
Stigmata, so named because those who have it tend to cure illness much easily.

Mundane Astrology- Natural Calamities Earthquakes *
(* Published in Annual Souvenir -2011 - Jyotirvastu Vignana Samstha, Hyderabad)
Synopsis: Introduction-Types of Earthquakes-Earthquake prone areas - Effects of

Earthquakes- Timing of Earthquakes- symptoms around the occurrence of
earthquakes-
Earthquakes are known from ancient times and our ancestors took considerable interest in
describing the causes. Earthquake is a cosmic accident where the four elements viz., Wind,
Fire and Water along with Indra cause the earth to shake. Discussion on causes of
earthquakes had been a perennial topic in ancient Indian literature. Classical texts concerning
natural phenomena are to be carefully interpreted. Brihat Samhita (B.S.) of Varahamihira (5
6th century AD) and Adbhuta Sagara (A.S.) of Ballala Sena (1011th century AD) are notable
books about earthquakes. Parashara was of the opinion that eclipses and planetary aberrations
could also cause earthquakes. Recent research studies on the subject from eminent scholars
from India and abroad are also contributing in this area.
Types of Earthquakes - Depending on the time of occurrence and the ruling stellar
configuration the earthquakes are classified into four groups. An earthquake which occurs
from north in the last quarter of the night or in the first quarter of the day under any a star
group belongs to the Wind group (vayavya). Similarly, earthquakes of the Agni (fire), Indra
and Varuna (water) group originate from south, east and west, respectively and are governed
by specific star groups. So far the effort has been only to group the earthquakes after their
occurrence, according to some recognizable attributes.
Earthquake prone areas Areas are given in classical texts like Brihat Samhita which are to
be carefully identified with their present-day equivalents. Ancient writings indicate that Vayu-
type earthquakes are most destructive and the Agni, Varuna, and Indra-type earthquakes are
comparatively less harmful. The extent of ground shaking indicated is 200 yojanas during
Vayu-type earthquake and 90,80 and 70 correspondingly for Agni, Indra and Varuna (one
yojana=6miles). Varaha Mihira agrees only with the vayu-type value and for the other three,
his values are Varuna-type 180, Indra -type 160, and Agni-type 110 yojanas. Varahamihiras
approach of describing earthquakes in terms of the extent of ground shaking is refreshingly
scientific.
Effects of Earthquakes-Vayu-type earthquakes lead to extensive destruction of houses,

towers and forts followed by windstorms within a week after such an earthquake. Agni-type
earthquake induces surface fires engulfing villages and towns. Rivers and water sources dry
up. Indra -type tremors, lead to rains and elimination of colonies. Varuna-type earthquake
kills people living along river and sea coasts.
Earthquakes were also supposed to indicate the impending death of kings, outbreak of wars
and epidemics. Buddhists believe that important persons will die at the time of earthquakes.
Buddha himself said to have interpreted the earthquake occurred before his Nirvana at
Kushinagara in 483 BC as the sign that he would soon pass away into Nirvana.
Timing of Earthquakes- Some remarkable events like the time of eclipses, bad aspects of
malefic planets, Sun's ingress, full moon, new moon etc., can be mathematically calculated in
advance where as the exact time of earthquake cannot be so calculated. These mathematical
calculations are based on the rotation and revolving of planetary bodies. The occurrence of
earthquakes, tsunami etc., are the results of the sudden disorders of the five elements (pancha
1
bhutas) due to the changes in gravitational forces among the planets in certain configurations.
Nature has yet to reveal to the humanity the results of the disorderly changes in gravitational
forces. However, earthquake prone areas are getting identified from centuries. Hence certain
areas are getting thinly populated or suitable infrastructure is made to withstand the tremors
of lower/ certain higher order. However, heavy tremors are causing damages.
Classical writers and research observations reveal the following symptoms around the
occurrence of earthquakes. -
(1) Earthquakes generally follow or precede the eclipses they happen near about the
time of eclipse. The country/place in which the eclipse occurs may not be free from
danger. ;
(2) At the time of earth-quakes, adverse connections between Mars and Saturn
(conjunction, opposition, aspect etc.) have been noted.;
(3) Earthy signs (Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn) (some refer to fixed signs i.e. Taurus,
Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius) and the planets therein also matter with regard to
occurrence of earth-quakes. Saturn in a fixed sign at the distance of 45 degrees from
meridian, it is stated that the earthquake will occur in that part of the world which is at
the same distance from Greenwich, east or west-depending on the position of
Saturn.(This is to be verified with past events);
(4) The timing of occurrence of earthquakes has been noticed between mid-day and
sunset or between midnight and sunrise.;
(5) A major planet has been noted to be 'Retrograde' at the time of earthquake.;
(6) The Ruling Nakshtra has been found to belonging to earth or air. ;
(7) Moon and Mercury must conjunct and come in the same Nakshtra.;
(8) Earth-quakes generally happen when there are many planets in or near the
movable (Cardinal signs) i.e. Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn.;
(9) Frequent happening of earthquakes is indicated when the planets like Uranus,
Saturn, Mars, or Jupiter occupy Taurus and Scorpio.(this can be verified with past
events in the earthquake prone areas like Japan);
(10) In Brihat Samhita, reference has been made to bad omens for causing
earthquakes. Other principle is that the Moon be stretched like the yoke of a carriage
from the south to the north, there would be earthquakes. An eclipse is heralded by
some usual occurrences such as earthquake and terrific thunder. If the earthquake is
after an eclipse there would be death of a leading king.
Research studies in this aspect of the last century are revealing the following from a chart
drawn at the time of Sun's ingress into Aries sign:
(1) For an earthquake to happen in the year, severe affliction of 8th house or its lord
must be indicated (8th house denotes mass deaths and mass tragedies which do happen
in earthquakes also).
(2) Eclipses falling at quadrants to Jupiter, Saturn or Mars also produce earthquakes.
(3)The area of the occurrence is generally indicated by the zodiacal sign in which the
above combination occur.-Further studies are to be made in this.
Examples from Earthquakes caused in India and China -
(1) Massive earth quake occurred in Bihar on 15th Jan, 1934. It was a New Moon day and
2
seven planets were in Capricorn (Movable and Airy sign). The Sun, The Moon and Mars
were in exact conjunction in Uttarashada ruled by the Sun, lord of 8th from the Moon.
(2) The earthquake caused in airy sign-Gemini ascendant - in Tangshan, (China) - Estimated
death toll was as high as 655,000.Five planets in 2nd house (moveable sign). New Moon on
27th July, 1976 was in Pushyami star of Saturn. The Moon and Mercury have a significant
role to play in causing earthquakes. Except Jupiter and Nodes (Rahu and Ketu) all planets
were clustered within an arc of 45 degrees.
(3) On 11th October 1737, about 4 to 5 lakh people died due to earthquake near Kolkatta. That
time Saturn was in Gemini Ascendant and Mars in 4 th house with Sun and the 12th lord Venus
with Rahu in 3rd house from ascendant and 4th from 12th Taurus.
(4) On 15th Jan 1934, on a new moon day, earthquake occurred in Bihar when 7 planets were
in Capricorn -earthy sign. Mars was exalted with its 8th aspect on Leo.
(5) On 26th January 2001 in Gujarat strong earthquake caused when Saturn -12th lord
(Aquarius lagna) was in 4th and 4th lord Venus was in lagna aspected by Saturn. This was
preceded by two eclipses solar eclipse on 25th Dec. 2000 and lunar eclipse on 9 th Jan 2001.
(6) There was a configuration of 8 planets in the movable sign Capricorn on 4th Feb.1962.
Rahu in cancer, Uranus and Pluto in Leo, Neptune in Libra - all other planets in Capricorn a
moveable sign. No serious incidents reported to have occurred from the earthquake prone
areas. But on February 3, 1962 at 12:44 a.m. on Saturday, there was an earthquake at
Fayetteville, Arkansas- It was also felt in Missouri, Kentucky, and Illinois .The earthquake
was followed by a minor tremor about an hour and a half later. Saint Louis University
reported a magnitude of 4.2 earthquake that was located about 150 miles south of Saint
Louis, Missouri.
Example from Earthquakes caused in Japan:
The earthquakes of Japan - in 1923 there was a very devastating earthquake followed by
frequent occurrences till 2011. By this Japan was considered as an earthquake prone area.
Besides the earthquakes the country was also subjected to severe bomb blasts in Second
World War. Yet, Japanese are known for their productive skills.
Example (1) The 1923 earthquake is also known as Great Tokyo Fire of 1923 as the fire
spread from the charcoal or wood burning stoves when the many people were preparing their
lunch at 11.58 local time mid day. Many of the stoves were toppled over due to the shaking
of earth and the fire spread over. A tsunami was also generated resulting into a loss of 1.5
lakh people and much property.
Example (2) Earthquake of 2011-This time earthquake and tsunami was preceded by Lunar
eclipse on 21 st Dec.2010 and Solar eclipse on 4th Jan.2011. This year in addition to the bad
planetary configuration the position of SUPER MOON reappearance after about 18 years
caused an increase in its gravitational pull upon the Earth leading to higher tides with
consequential earthquakes. As a result of the frequent earthquakes, Japanese construction
standards for public buildings were changed suitably. Tokyo was reconstructed with better
transportation services and more parks were created as areas of refuge. Hence, in spite of the
vast damage in 2011 tsunami - Japan is able to withstand in World Map. This indicates the
man's intelligence in making use of the natural benefits despite natural calamities. Japanese
are known for their productive skills round the clock.
Hope that all other countries should try to follow the Japanese dedication in building strong
infrastructure with sound will power for a global prosperity.

Astrological analysis As per KP system
Principle: Accident is indicated by 8th bhava- if star lord of 8th cusp sub lord
if connected to 6th sickness after accident;
if connected to 12th hospitalization;
if connected to badhaka/maraca sthanas may result in death if no longevity is granted
in natal chart otherwise it may result in permanent disability if longevity is granted.
In the chart referred above

8th cusp sub lord SATURN is posited in the star of MARS and sub of SUN.
At birth time MARS is occupant of 9th Bhadhaka for Taurus (fixed) sign lagna.
SUN is occupant of 12th bhava.
Mars aspecting 12th and Sun aspecting 7th.
Mars and Sun are also connected to 6th bhava through Ketu who is occupant of 10th.
This indicates the death of the native due to accident.
Principl for: Longevity - span of life Lagna sub lord

if connected to first group i.e., 1/5/9 bhavas is long life
If connected to 2nd group i.e., 6/8/12 bhavas -short life-
if connected to both groups a medium life.
In the chart referred above
Lagna sub lord Jupiter is connected to both the groups i.e., 1-5-9 and 6-8-12.
1st - Through Ketu (pco); 5th - as pcbl; 9th -through Ketu (pcbl) and
6th -through Ketu (occupant); 8th - bhava lord; 12th - aspect on Mars Bhava lord.
As Jupiter is connected to both groups medium life is granted.
But, Native died in 9th year which is considered as in the span of short life.
Thus, the following formula is applicable in the case understudy--
If Star lord of 1st cusp sub lord connected to badhaka sthana / maraka sthana the life will be
short and not for many years.
Following are the observations in the given chart:

The 1st cusp sub lord Jupiter is in the star and sub of Mercury who is lord of 2nd and is
Maraka- for Taurus lagna.
Added to this Mercury is aspected by exalted Mars lord of 7th another maraka lord.- for
Taurus lagna.
Mercury is conjoined with Venus and is in Venus star hence death occurred in the sub-
period of Venus in the Mahardasa of Saturn Saturn is 9th lord i.e., badhaka lord for
fixed sign -Taurus lagna.
1st cusp sub lord Jupiter -has also become malefic with connection to maraka sthana i.e.,
as 2nd as occupant and as bhava lord of 8th bhava a dushthana.
Jupiter with 8th lord ship (a functional malefic) has 5th aspect on 7th bhava a maraka
sthana
Jupiter has become benefic with 11th bhava lordship and as star lord of Moon. With
Jupiter aspect on Moon and 11th bhava native survived during the Jupiter dasa i.e.,
commencing at the birth time. But Jupiter dasa was only for about 7 months

Native died on 31st jan.2011-at 9th year of age -during the Saturn x Venus x Venus x Saturn
Natal and transit positions of dasa, bhukti lords are as follows.

Saturn dasa is Second mahardasa from birth time.
Saturn dasa lord -in birth chart - is the lord of badhaka sthan ( i.e., 9th lord for Taurus lagna )
and Saturn is occupant of 1st bhava (lagna is weak); Pco of 9th and bhava lord of 9th and 10th
Saturn is in the star of Mars who is 7th and 12th lord and occupant of 9th a badhaka sthana.
At the time of accident (25th jan.) and at death time (31st jan) transit Saturn was in Moon star
Sun sub In birth chart Moon is 3rd Bhava lord and in the star of 8th lord Jupiter - Saturn
connection with 3rd and 8th is indicating death due to accident.
Transit Saturn in the sub lord Sun who is connected to 12th as occupant in birth chart.
Moreover, transit Saturn started retardation on 27th Jan 2011 i.e., in between the date of
accident and date of death while the boy was in Coma due to accident.
Venus is bhukti lord In birth chart - Venus is 1st and 6th lord - 6th is dusthana Venus is in
conjunction with Mercury - 2nd (maraka) lord and both are aspected by Mars 12th and 7th
lord Mars (4th aspect):: Venus and Mercury conjunction is also aspected by Jupiter (8th lord)
with 9th aspect.
At the time of accident and at death time the Transit Venus was in 7th bhava as maraca
sthana from lagna. At the time of accident Transit Venus was in scorpio in the star of
Mercury (2nd lord maraca lord in natal chart) and at the time of death transit venus was in
Ketu star 6th occupant in natal chart and Ketu also represent Sun who is occupant of 12th in
birth chart.
Below is the analysis in a tabular form:

At death time- Saturn X Venus X Venus X Saturn from 13th Jan.2011 to 13th Feb.2011

INTRODUCTION: Horoscopes are drawn and analyzed on the basis of astronomical speed
of planets. Some horoscopes indicate Retro Planet if the planet is going back. In real
cosmic setup no planet moves backward or even slow down in its orbit. So retrogression
is termed as an apparent phenomenon.
Retrograde-station-direct cycles are essentially illusions from Earths point of view. This is
because the Earth is also orbiting around Sun with a different speed. Men on Earth do not
feel the speed of Earth and feels that other planet is going back.
A retro planet is considered as away from Sun than in its normal times and so less combust.
With this low combustion the retro planet becomes more independent and their effect on
Earth is more intensive. As per classical theories. vakri balopetha is the normal dictum.
d
In mathematical part - in arriving at Shabala and the Avastas of planets motional strength
(Chesta bala), Powerful motion (Saktaavasta) and accelerated movement (bheetaavasta) of
planets are calculated.
Coming to the predictive part, the impact of a retro planet is considered as different from that
of its normal times. Predictive theories differed in giving importance to the retro position of
planets. However, the study of retro planets is useful to know the natives past karma
influence if his birth chart has any retro planet(s). Study of a retro planet is, in fact, revealing
valid information on the past karmic influence of the native.
Retrograde frequency of Planets: Following is the frequency of planets retro movements:

Sun and Moon never seen on retro motion. Rahu and ketu - being points of intersection are
always seen on reverse motion in the horoscope.

Retro Planet - A Karmic indicator: Study of retrograde planets as a KARMIC indicator is

based on its influence on natives body and consciousness. Human body is composed of five
elements (pancha bhutas). Natives consciousness is developed through the nerve centers i.e,
Chakras (nerve centers) and on bodys sense organs (Jnanendriyas and Karmendriyas).
Sahsrara and Ajna chakras are under the influence of Sun and Moon. Other chakras are under
the influence of other five planets as detailed below.
Retro Planet influence on Chakras-Retrograde Planets influence the primary structure of
the human consciousness and its relationship with its human life. By blocking the
CHAKRAS and complicating the Pancha bhutas, they create disconnection and imbalances,
inability to control the senses. An individual has to understand their retrograde planets and
nurture them to bring back to harmony. The following is an indication of the Planets and their
connection to chakras and elements.

Astrological Study of retro planets revolves round the analysis of:

Impact of transiting retrograde planets whenever make sensitive angles to the sensitive
points in the natal chart. Sensitive points in the natal chart are 9 points of planets and 12
points of house cusps. This study is to be made in two ways i.e,
(i) Natal charts with one or more retro planets;

(ii) Natal chats with no retro planets; and
(iii) Horary charts- (detailed study of horary charts not included in this article)
Analysis of Birth Charts- While analyzing a birth chart one must observe the following to
know the impact of a transiting retro planet on natal positions of planets and house cusps.
1. Lordship and placement of any retro planet at birth and /or in its transit position.
2. One or more planet(s) in retro at birth and / or transit
3. Dasa / bhukti lords etc., while in retro motion.
4. Duration of retro planets in transit and its relation to the running dasa /bhukti lords.
5. Whether retro planet is a significator for the bhava results under study.
6. Whether a retro planet is cancelling any good yoga formed in birth chart -i.e., yoga
bhanga e.g. Ruchika yoga is spoiled if Mars is retrograde.
7. Whether the retro planet is exalted / debilitated in natal or transiting positions
8. Connection of other planets with retro planet(s) at birth and/or in transit.
9. Duration of retro - stagnant - direct motion of the retro planet.
10. Is retro planet in the STAR of a direct / retro planet (in stellar astrology).
11. Is it Natal chart / question chart under study ( Retro motion is not considered in natal
chart in K.P.System)
Effects of retro planets in Natal Chart :: Eminent authors have differed in their views. The
actual results from a retro planet depend much on the strength and weakness of the natal
chart. There is need to analyze birth chart with retro planets because of present day complex
3
and complicated life events. Following are some of the views of prominent authors on the
effect of a retro planet in Natal Chart.
i. Karkatwa of a retro planet works in an adverse manner.

ii. Retro planet in birth chart indicate the deficiency of that chakra in the body and of
that karakatwa at birth time.
iii. Retro planet as a karmic planet indicates more about bad karma committed by the
native in his previous life connected to that karakatwa. What happened exactly in
previous life cannot be narrated literally but a retro planet indicates the area of
error(s) basing on its karakatwa.
iv. A debilitated planet if in retro motion gives good results
v. An exalted planet if in retro motion give difficulties in the dasa period of that
retro planet.
vi. Retro planet exalted in Rasi and debilitated in Navamsa varga indication is GOOD
result in the dasa periods of that planet.
vii. Functional benefics - if in retro motion give GOOD results
viii. Functional malefic - if in retro motion give BAD results
ix. A retro planet during retro motion is likely to enter into previous sign - even then such
retro planet continue to give the result of the sign where it started retro motion. Jupiter
is an exception to this. Jupiter gives the result of the sign where it is posited actually.
For example: (1) Saturn started retro motion in libra and happen to enter Virgo during
the period of retro motion - Saturn give the results of Libra sign while in Virgo also.
(2) Jupiter starts retro in Gemini and happens to enter into Taurus. Jupiter gives the
results of Gemini while in Gemini and of Taurus while in Taurus.
Effects of Birth time Retro Planets on different Ascendants

Any planet when it is retrograde that retro planet to which house it is vyayadhipati
(12th lord) becomes powerless to spoil that house. e.g., for Aquarius lagna native
Jupiter is 2nd and 11th lord and if Jupiter is retrograde and running its dasa the native
enjoys the results of 3 and 12. This mean that Jupiter is retro Kumbha lagna native
matters like change of place, change of job, sale of house etc., will take place. In
short, when a planet is retrograde it gives the results of a bhava succeeding to the
bhavas owned by that retro planet. This is indicated, for 12 lagnas, in the following
table.

**************************************
INTRODUCTION
Numerology is based on the study of reactions between ethereal vibrations of human body
and of the universe. The ethereal force which operates by way of vibrations on the life on
Earth differs from day to day. Every individuals life events, tastes, characters and professions
etc., are determined by the reactions of the ethereal vibrations of his physical body and that of
the Universe. These ethereal vibrations of the invisible Astral Plane are of NINE types like
that of the Destiny Numbers of the individuals arrived in Numerology.
Three greatest innovations of mankind are the base for human development. They are 1)
Music -wondrous compilations of sound vibrations; and 2) Photography-handful storing of
light rays; 3) Mathematics counting to the infinity.
Numerology is based on mathematics out of the above. Numerology, the so-called pseudo-
science, is one of the most ancient skills. It was first founded in the old cultures of Egypt,
Babylonia, China and India. It was used to discover the features and elements of the person's
character according to their date of birth as well as their name and last name. With its 5000
years of experience has well settled, all over the Globe, in analyzing the complex human
behavior.
Pythagoras, a Greek philosopher and mathematician, has formally organized this field in
ancient Greece.
Those ancient people believed that through numerology they can understand
one's inner soul and outer personality,
the visible and hidden competences,
one's virtues and flaws,
one's likes and dislikes,
the person's motivation in life,
the suitable love partners and friends, as well as
one's past and future life.
More methods were invented through history. However, the most reliable methods are those
of
1
Jewish kabbalah and
Pythagorean School.
Many people strongly believe in the symbolic and even magical meaning of numbers which
can affect a person's life.
Philosophy of Numerology
Fundamental premise of numerology is that life and the universe as a whole is in an orderly
base. Numerology by definition mean orderly.
Universe maintains not only its form and structure but also changes in a precise and orderly
way.
Orderliness is seen in the unfolding sequence of molecular world (DNA) pattern to the
developing of a child. The arc of life is consistent and stable since about 2 million years of
human habitation. Thus, there is no randomness in creation. For example three decades ago
heart diseases were field random. Today it is understood that the cause of any illness is in
daily behavior and eating patterns.
Natural science was merely the tool that was used to discover the underlying orderliness
known as GOD. Out of this consciousness came such spiritual sciences as numerology.
Numerology is based on the underlying unity. Names and date of birth(s) are connected to the
deepest inner being of the man. Only intuitive mind is capable of perceiving and interpreting
these relationships. Names are not accidental. Name is a collection of sounds, a melody and
in their deep and perfect way reflect the person. The rhythmic sound of the name given by
the parent has a relationship to the vibrations emanating from the child since the time of
conception. The interaction of the vibrations of name circulated in the human society has its
own revelations. Thus, naming and changing of names has become a scientific play.
Numerology and Hypnosis

Every action one takes and every observation one make, whether consciously or not is
permanently stored somewhere in sub consciousness. One's ability to retrieve such
information is interestingly useful. Everyone has an unique retrial system. In fact this is the
base of theory of Hypnosis.
A numerologist also uses such retrieval method to trace a lost object. Principles of Hypnosis
are so used in Numerology. For instance ; 'to trace the lost object'. The person who is seeking
the help of numerologist is asked to select a number in a particular process which resembles
the art of hypnosis. He is asked to sit calmly and recollect the surroundings where he had
seen the lost object for the last time and in that condition is made to spell a number for
examination by the numerologist.
No Number is better than any other number

Objectively no number is better than any other number. So any preference to a particular
number or numbers is purely subjective.
All numbers have positive and negative aspects. They can be considered better when their
vocational attributes are examined i.e., four 4s make excellent accountant, five 5s make better
sales people etc.,
2
Each number has a certain character or personality i.e., 3- creativity, 5-dynamic nature, 6-
responsibility etc., Perhaps all that characteristics are in a person but some are more
pronounced. It is this link between the character of a particular number and those same traits
within him sparks an unconscious recognition or attraction to a number or color.
Our attraction to a particular number is like preference for a certain color. Colors influence
our moods as a reflection of our inner state.
Numerology and Astrology

Some astrologers believe that each number from 0 to 9 is ruled by a Celestial body in our
Solar system. The layout below is the most widely accepted system amongst modern
astrologers but there are other conflicting systems as well like Kabalistic system.
Zero Pluto; 1-Sun; 2- Moon; 3- Jupiter; 4- Sun / Uranus; 5-Mercury; 6-Venus; 7-

Moon/Neptune; 8-Saturn; 9-Mars.
Each astrological sign has long been associated with a particular number beginning with :
1-Aries; 2-Taurus; 3-Gemini; 4-Cancer; 5-Leo; 6-Virgo; 7-Libra; 8-Scorpio; 9-Sagittarius;
10-Capricorn; 11-Aquarius; 12-Pisces.
Benefits of Numerology
Numerology give meaningful advice for all types of situations in human life by describing the
cycles one experiences during the course of his life.
Consulting an expert Numerologist, at a right time, definitely helps anyone in many ways for
a happy and prosperous life. It is a way to gain greater insight and understanding into inner
being and true nature. It reveals, assesses character and personality in a way that is fresh and
inspiring. It gives helps to provide self-knowledge to success and freedom. Having a greater
insight into strengths and weaknesses helps in every aspect of life. It provides greater
perspective on life and prepares for future.
It helps to know, in advance, health problems, financial difficulties, accidents etc.,
Systems of Numerology
Alphabetical system: All over the world there are a number of systems with different
definitions in conversion of alphabets to numerical value.
Examples include the Abjad numerals in Arabic, the Hebrews numeral, Armenian numerals,
Geek numerals. Jewish tradition assigns mystical meaning based on their numerical values
and on connections between words of equal value, is known as gematria. 1=a,j,s 2=b,k,t;
3=c,i,u etc., and then summed..
Different methods of calculations exist, including Chaldean, Pythagorean, Hebraic, Helyn

Hitchcock's method, Phonetic, Japanese, Arabic, India, Chinese etc.,
Calculations in different systems are based on decimal arithmetic/ binary/octal/hexadecimal

and vigesimal. Summing the digits in these different systems yields different results.
3
Chinese numerology
Chinese assign a different set of definitions to the numbers. They also consider certain
number combinations are luckier than others. In general, even numbers are considered lucky
since it is believed that good luck comes in pairs.
Chinese Number Definitions : 1-sure; 2-easy; 3-live; 4-considered unlucky since the
pronunciation of 4 is a homonym with the word for death or suffering, 5- the self me,
nothing, never, 6-easy and smooth; 7- a slang/ vulgar word in Cantonese; 8- sudden fortune,
prosperity; 9-long in time, a slang/vulgar word in Cantonese .
Some lucky number combinations include: 99-doubly long in time, hence eternal; 168-road
of prosperity; 518- I will prosper; 814- similar to 168 'be wealthy, entire life' 148 also
implies the same; 'entire life be wealthy'
According to the numerological theories, the most important influence in a person's life have
the numbers from the date of birth as well as the unique number from the name and last name
that is found by the defined numerological tables.
Methodology in Numerology-
This needs a good reading and thorough practice to gain expertise. However, a brief is given
here to know about the process. By taking the data like birth date, time, name in full, popular
name etc.., numerologist, in his own expert way make a chart and to proceed for readings and
predictions.
Some of the terms used by numerologist are -

1. Name number ; 2. Personality number; 3. Destiny number; 3. Plan of Expression mental
level-Physical level-emotional level-; 4. Life Path; 5. Generation number..etc.,
Number definitions- There are no set definitions to the meaning of specific digits. Common
examples include:
0 -Everything or absoluteness.
1-Individual Aggressor.
2- Balance Union. Receptive
4
3- Communication/interaction. Neutrality.
4- Creation
5- Action. Restlessness
6- Reaction/flux. Responsibility
7- Thought/ Consciousness
8- Power/Sacrifice.
9- Highest level of Change
10-Rebirth
Specific characteristics of numbers
Numbers can be seen as 'archetypes'. They represent human qualities in greater or lesser
quantities. Each Number has an Archetypal quality.
e.g., No.1- embodies masculinity, a strong drive, individuality and determination,

No.2- Quality of sensitivity, femininity,co-operation and gentleness,
Each number is the opposite of the next number. i.e., No.1 is the opposite of No.2. And No.2
is the opposite of No.3. Clear and defined personality of each number helps to predict each
number's response to any given situation. A number do possess nuances within its field of
characteristics that are enhanced or diminished due to its place in the chart. Also a number
can complement other number and enhance and support each other. Numbers are so much
like people that getting to know them is a continuing process.
Shape of Numbers and Symbolic Psychology
Symbolic psychology explains as to how the symbols of numbers reflect their natures as
below.
1 Pillar shape reflects independence, leadership and strength of that number

2. Symbolizes its resilient strength, humble, sensitive, diplomatic. Easy to depress
and to quash yet flexible like a spring. No.2 raises again much quicker than does
the No.1
3. Open and inviting shape- self-expression, verbal art, enthusiam, inspiration, Most
imaginative of all numbers, Ready to embrace anything in this World and the
World above.
4. Square-shaped is down-to-earth. It sits on the ground, Foundation and a rock-of
support for other numbers. Represents limitation (often self-imposed) and
discipline, Never a dreamer.
5. Seems to turn around its central point. Most dynamic of all. Will try anything at
least once. True to its nature, Open front and back.
6. Most loving and sacrificing, Mother/fatherhood number, Seems pregnant with
love.
7. Thinker and Hermit; Seeker of Truth; Reminds a wise old man with an
outstretched arm holding a shinning lamp in search of solutions.
8. Balance between spiritual and material world. Reflects heaven and earth in the
two circles staked on top of each other.
9. A circle on a lead-representing the completion of a cycle, turning back to the
beginning which is manifested in the fact that whenever any number is added to
5
the number 9 it comes back to itself. e., the integer n umber of 9+5 is 9. It
represents completion and detachment. Like No.6 is very loving but No6. Sends
love to the family, friends and community No.9 sends to the whole World. It is
humanitarian. Three different ways of looking at the 9 are the shape of the
symbol, the mathematical strangeness and what it represents in numerology.
Personality of the Numbers.

Importance of Panchama Bhava

Need of Holistic approach: In the analysis of Panchama bhava one need to keep in mind
the need of a holistic approach to the birth / horary chart. No bhava or a planet can be
separated from among others.
General precaution about differences in Rasi chart and Bhava chart.

Notice the difference in rasi chart and bhava chart. Bhava chart is to be used for bhava
results.
Span of a bhava spreads into more than one zodiac sign. In some case of births - mostly
which are away from equator- some intercepted signs are likely. It is the signs that
intercept and not bhavas. In the case of intercepted signs bhavas spread into more than
two signs. Some signs do not get any bhava sputa. Careful analysis is needed in cases of
intercepted signs.
System of bhava division adopted is to be carefully noted. In Sripati system of bhava
division bhava middle sputa is the important bhava sputa. In others like placidious
system -adopted in K P system - bhava arambha sputa is important. Sign lord of the
important bhava sputa - i.e., middle in Sripati system and beginning in Placidus system
is the bhava lord.
Strength of a planet differs in a bhava depending on its proximity from bhava sputa -
beginning , middle or ending. Sometimes a planets sign lord and bhava lord are likely
to differ depending on its placement. In such cases effects of such a planet is to be
studied in the light of that planets karakatwa plus its position in a particular bhava
plus the qualities of the sign position. Never ignore the zodiac sign behind the planet
and its bhava position.
General rule for rasi or bhava analysis is to treat the lagna / Moon lagna / Sun lagna as the
first bhava depending on their strength.
For example take famous Sachin tendulkar chart - In his birth chart - Moon sign is more
important. From Sagittarius i.e., Moon lagna - Aries is 5th and 9th is Leo. 5th lord and 9th lord
are exalted in 2nd and 5th from Moon lagna. Mars is also aspecting 9th bhava and its lord
Sun. Mars conjoined with Jupiter - Moon lagna lord. Jupiter debilitation is cancelled. Mars
given energy to play while Jupiter and 9th lord Sun is giving Wealth, honour, name and
fame. 9th lord being Sun and is exalted in 5th native got highest honor at young age. viz.,
Bharat Ratna from Government of India.
Panchama Bhava karakatwas(Significators):

Broadly speaking and in brief are:
Inclination of mind (intellect), creative Intelligence, knowledge, education (deep and
wise learning and wisdom), knowledge of mantras, tantras and yantras, spiritual
techniques, talents, judgment, discretion, advice, merits from past life, devotion to gods
and brahmins, deity of one's choice, virtues, ruling powers, royalty, ministers of the
King (politicians), authority, fall from position, literary works, amusements, enjoyment,
recreation, sport, romance, children, disciples, wealth, prosperity.Panchama bhava is
commonly referred as PUTRA BHAVA. This bhava has many qualities essential for
supporting other bhavas.
The Fifth Bhava shows intelligence, soul, Poorva punya (merits earned in the past life),
children, fame and competitive examinations.
In Medical astrology - 5th bhava indicate, in human body, stomach, liver, heart and
back, back of shoulders, sides of body, and illness relating to pregnancy etc.,
3
In Mundane astrology -Panchama bhava significators are - Public places of enjoyment,

recreation places, art galleries, schools, educational system, national birth rate etc.,
Saturn in 5th reduces birth rate, troubles children and women.
Broad results - from Panchama bhava

5th bhava is among the invisible bhavas ( 1 to 6) of the chart. Invisible bhavas do
indicate the balance of Karma to be completed by the natives SOUL. Visible bhavas
indicate the sources to complete the balance of karma role.
PANCHAMA BHAVA is among the Dharma Trikona - i.e., 1-5-9. Out of t12 bhavas.
5th bhava is both a kona and a panapara - Kendras and Konas are pillars of life - Konas
houses correspond to the Dharma houses and are the houses of good luck, success,
wisdom and knowledge. Panaparas are houses of 'wealth'. 2nd House is self-earning,
5th is through children, 8th is inheritance
Panchama Bhava strength - This bhava begins after the 4th bhava which represent
house, mother etc., Once the native leaves house he enters society. Social interactions
need mental qualities like awareness, knowledge, intelligence etc., These are developed
by the strength of Panchama bhava.
In human body - the 4th and 5th bhavas separated in the area of Diaphram - Liver is
extremely important among the body parts that represent Pancham Bhava. Liver is an
intelligent and complex organ. It is also able to re-grow if any part is removed. This
creative quality of LIVER can be compared to the INTELLINCE among the panchama
bhava karakatwas. Regenerative capacity of native himself is in panchama bhava and
is accordingly named as PUTRA Bhavam.
In natural zodiac 5th bhava is LEO and its lord is SUN who represent Brain - intelligence.
Moon is the functional aspect of brain (mind).
Panchama bhava need Ancesters blessings

If 5th bhavba is weak or influenced by harmful planets and are devoid of benefic influence -
native suffers due to his/her ancestors curse. Such a native suffers in money matters,
health matters and relationships. Remedy is to please ancestors with rituals like tarpan
etc.,
Effects of Panchama Bhava to be studied, in the following ways.

Nature of zodiac signs behind Panchama Bhava - -
The effects of pancham bhava in different rasi signs are to be seen with the
background of the qualities of that zodiac sign.
The twelve zodiac signs are classified as two-fold, three-fold and four fold types. In
short as masculine and feminine; movable, fixed, common; -fiery, earthy, airy,
watery; - northern and southern signs; equinoctial signs; tropical signs; fruitful
signs; barren signs; voice signs; mute or dumb signs; violent signs; bestial or four
legged signs; human signs; double bodied or bicorporal signs; short or long
ascension signs.
In fact, no part of the zodiac is separable in cosmic set-up. The divisions are made
for study purpose and in practice all divisions work with a unified principle. Our
study must be based on a holistic approach.
Depending on the life event of panchama bhava under study the nature of the sign is to be
interpreted along with the planets connected to that sign.

can experience such Godly aspirations in this life also. The best way for them is
transcendental meditation, on empty stomach, either one hour before SUN rise or
one hour after Sun set. If the Jupiter is in retrograde motion the realization may
extend to several births. If such retrograde Jupiter aspects any planet such native is
bestowed with the past birth realizations connected to that planet. For example -

which reflect in their literary works. These works are indicated by 5th bhava.
Example : Rabindranath Tagore - lagna -Pisces - lord Jupiter exalted in 5th bhava in
Cancer. 5th lord is Moon - During Moon dasa he was awarded Noble prize in 1913 for

another bhava. This is seen by applying the well known BHAVAD BHAVA principle.

tantra etc.,

Example : Srila Prabhupada chart : 1 sep 1896 4.00 pm Kolkatta - Lagna- Capricorn - 5th
lord Venus and 9th lord Mercury conjoined in 9th bhava - virgo sign. He took Sanyasa -
renounced order of life - in 1959 during Mercury x Venus period. Spent more time for
higher learning and publication of religious books - established ISKON - a religious
institution.
Moon in 9th bhava (5th to 5th ) gives one child - if that bhava sign is odd one many
children.
Hence the benefic effects of any bhava and consequent success of native depends much on
the strength of the interdependent bhavas and the lagna and 11th bhava.
Panchama bhava and Divisional Charts:

Supplementing with the study of divisional charts gives better clarity and confirmation of
the revelations of panchama bhava. Fro example use of 5th house in Saptamsa divisional
chart revelas about progeny, while 5th in Vimsamsa stands for mantra etc., in
Chaturvimsamsa 5th house shows both intelligence and success in education.
Saptamsa -Denial of children -is likely if Mercury, Saturn and or Venus are in trine to
Saptamsa lagna. Mercury and Saturn are eunuch planets to deny fertility. Venus may
lead to natives association with too many and the chances for progeny are narrowed.
Saptamsa- indication of Adoption - Mars and Saturn connection to the trine of

Saptamsa lagna indicate adopted children. This configuration also indicate the children
of a divorce / widow who is in second marriage with the native.

For further clarifications in any critical chart one may resort to Arudha pada of 5th bhava .
Ashtakavarga system - Panchama bhava study

For bhava result use bhava chart and for transit results use rasi chart in Ashtakavargu
system. It is to be noticed here that kaksha division is an equal division of 30 degrees of
a stabdardised zodiac sign. So for transit results Rasi chart to be used in Ashtakavargu.
To anlyse panchama bhava in Ashtakavargu - the general rule is that Bhavas with
30 or more points give very good results: with 25 to 30 points are medium and Less
than 25 give inferior results.
For further analysis verify the contribution of each planet to this bhava. Planet-wise
results of 4 or more benific bindus from a planet is as follows:
Sun - Patience, Male children, loves to help others. Worships Sun
Moon - self-less service ; love with sacrifice; mental illness; female children; Worshiping
Ardhanareeswara with Gowri mata. helps
Mars - Leadership; desire to attract others; Pretends to love to attract others; Male
children; prone to abortions; Worshiping Subramanya Swamy helps.
Mercury - Good mathematical skill; All activities are business like; Worshippinng Vishnu
helps
Jupiter - Intelligence; Self-less liking; Male children; Worshipping Dattareya helps
Venus - Likes beautiful things; Artistic view; Female children; Love is diplomatic and not
real.
Saturn - Lazy in thoughts and actions; Male children; Worshipping Hanuman helps.
Pancham bhava as Mantra bhava :

If the 11th lord is connected to 5th bhava - native becomes religious.
If 5th lord is in 7th he/she respects all religions.
12th lord in 5th - go on pilgrimages with prayers to beget a child
Benefics in 5th - native is blessed to do meditation
If benefics are associated with 5th they worship satvick deities and if malefic dominate
they resort to worship kshudra devatas.
If there is a predominance of masculine sign (odd) and planets they worship male form
of deities - if it is of feminine sign (even) they worship feminine form of deities.
5th bhava strength do reveal the spiritual growth of the native -
Example - Male native (1963) - lagna -Cancer, 5th is strong with placement of Mars, Venus
and Mercury and also aspected by retarted Jupiter from 9th -own sign Pisces. Saturn own
sign makara in 7th with aspect on Jupiter, lagna and Sun debilitated in Libra. - Natives
education at high school level is weak and his performance excelled with rewards at post
graduate level in science and technology.
However, he shifted from technology and dedicated, as a monk, to the higher levels of
study with practical applications in spiritual field. This can be attributed to strong 5th
house and aspect of Saturn on Jupiter, lagna and Sun.
Arudha of Panchama bhava - Putraarudha - Mantrarudha

Arudha pada of 5th bhava is also known as Mantrarudha, Putrarudha.
Application of Arudha principle in the study of a chart removes the illusions of a bhava
indications while highlighting the real strength of that bhava.
9
For example - Potential 5th bhava indicate good intelligence of the native. It is not certain
that all intelligent people are successful. The certainty of success is indicated by the arudha
of 5th bhava. So ensure to study a bhava and its arudha to come to reality of situation.
Arudha padas - to determine Fertility of natives.- Method of DEHA from Jaimini Sutras.-
This is based on rasi chart. Arrive at the Arudha padas of 3rd and 9th from Sun and
Lagna. From Sun it determines the ability to sustain Atma. From lagna it indicates the
ability of body to procreate.
If Sun is in 2nd, 5th 8th or 12th from any of these padas - it results in infertility of native.
If Venus and Mercury conjoin these padas the native is infertile.
If the arudha padas from lagna are afflicted native highly needs medical help. If the
affliction is to arudha padas from Sun astrological remedies are essential.
Panchama bhava as PUTRA bhava

If Saturn, Venus and Mercury are in trine the native becomes barren despite of any
powerful yoga placements in birth chart.
To examine the ability to beget children 9th house in female charts and 5th in male charts
are to be analyzed.
Indications for begetting progeny- Planetary configurations are, in brief, as follows:

(i) If 5th lord or 5th lords sign lord or Jupiter is well placed and strong by aspects -
he gets children though late in life;
(ii) Jupiter with, no afflictions, attains Vaiseshikamsa (in varga charts) and occupies
1st /4th/5th/7th/9th/10th bhava - progeny is indicated;
(iii) Lagna lord and 5th lord in kendras with benefic connections and strong 2nd lord;
(iv) If lagna lord in 7th and 2nd lord in lagna with the conjunction of 9th and 7th lords;
(v) If navamsa lors of 7th lord is well placed and aspected by lagna lord, 9th lord and
2nd lord.
If the 5th house is in any alpaputra sign i.e., Taurus/ Leo/ Virgo/ Scorpio and that
house or its lord is weak or connected to bad planets such native will have one or two
children.
Late progeny - Native will beget children in middle age if any of the following
combinations are seen in rasi or navamsa or bhava chart.
if Saturn in lagna, Jupiter in 8th and Mars in 12th ; or
if Mars in lagna, Saturn in 8th , and Sun in Leo/Taurus/ Virgo /Scorpio; or
If Moon in 11th , any two planets in lagna and two ( natural) malefic planets in 5th from
Jupiter or 5th to that 5th .
Twin children - If Aquarius or Scorpio signs have two lords - if those signs happen to
be the house of pregnancy / child twins are likely. Some authors have added Gemini
and Virgo because of the dual nature of their lord -Mercury.
Children die earlier to native - If 5th house is aspected by Mars with no benefic
connection his / her children may die earlier to native. But if that 5th house is either
Aries or Scorpio only the first son will die at early age and not others.
10
Example : Birth charts of Couple - who are hale and healthy now at their 84th year and 78th
year. In their middle age they lost many infant children and only two sons survived - who
are hale and healthy now at their 50 plus age. Details of birth charts - rasi and bhava are :
- Husband Rasi Chart : Lagna-libra-Ketu; Sagittarius - Saturn ( R ); Capricorn - Moon;

Aries Venus , Rahu; Taurus -Jupiter,Sun,Mecury ( R) ; Cancer - Mars;
- Husbands Bhava Chart : Ketu moved to lagna; Moon moved to 5th bhava; Rahu moved
to 8th and associated with Jupiter, Mercury ( R ) moved to 9th bhava -
- Wife Rasi Chart: Scorpio lagna - Saggittarius - Jupiter and Rahu ; Aquarius -Saturn and
Venus; Aries Mars; Gemini-Ketu; Cancer -Moon;
- Wifes Bhava chart ; Jupiter moved to lagna bhava; Saturn, Venus and also Mars moved
to 5th bhava .
- Analysis: In husbands bhava chart Mars is aspecting 5th and in wifes bhava chart Mars
is posited in 5th bhava.
- In Husbands charts -Putra karaka Jupiter is in 8th in rasi and in bhava afflicted by rahu.
In wifes Rasi chart - Putrakaraka Jupiter is afflicted by Rahu.
Adoption of a child -
o Connection of Saturn and Mars on 5th
o 5th lord in barren sign - Aries, Gemini, Leo and Virgo
o Affliction of 7th house - shows inability to procreate
o Lagna lord with mercury may damage ability to procreate.
o Benefic influence on 5th or 5th lord is essential. This should be from other than Jupiter. If
Jupiter gives benefic influence he can beget a child and no need of adoption. Moon or
Venus benefic influence on 5th in general may give a chance to adopt a child.
o Even when Jupiter is strong - if 5th lord or occupant is eunuch the native will adopt a
child. If Jupiter is also weak native cannot beget a child. He cannot adopt also.
Exmple: Both husband and Wifes productive capacity is badly spoiled and had
esorted to adopt a child.
Husbands birth chart :20th July 1964 at 20.30 Delhi-

Rasi chart - Capricorn lagna- Sat ( R )in 2nd ; Jupiter in 4th ; Venus and Mars in 5th ;
Rahu in 6th ; Sun and Mercury in 7th ; Moon in 11th and Ketu in 12th --
In rasi chart putra karaka Jupiter is in Aries a barren sign and also afflicked by
Saturns aspect - while 5th lord Venus conjoin with badhaka lord Mars in 5th -
In bhava chart. Both Venus and Mars moved to 6th bhava and associated with Rahu.;
while Jupiter moved to 5th bhava.
Wifes birth chart : 7th June 1966 9.50 a.m IST New Delhi-
In Rasi Chart - Cancer Lagna - ketu in Scorpio; Moon in Capricorn; Saturn in Pisces; Venus
in Aries; Rahu, Sun and Mars (5th lord) in Taurus -i.e., 11th bhava and badhaka sthana for
Cancer lagna. - Mercury and putra karaka in Gemini a barren sign.
In Bhava Chart - Rahu moved to 10th and associated with Venus. While Ketu moved to 4th
bhava.
This Couple are able to adopt a female child because of the benefics in 5th for husband and
in case of wife 5th is aspected by 5th lord Mars.
11
In husbands chart -7th is afflicted with Mercury a eunuch planet and sun 8th lord is in 7th.-
so his reproductive capacity is badly affected. Added to this putrakaraka Jupiter is in
barren sign - Aries.
In wifes chart - 5th lord Mars is badhaka lord aspected by Saturn. Putrakaraka Jupiter is in
Gemini a barren sign.
In case of both husband and wife charts : Jupiter is in barren sign and 5th lords are
associated with badhaka sthana or lord. Hence, reproductive ability is badly affected.
No Children - Family will come to an end - if 5th lord and Jupiter are badly placed and
if 5th house or lagna are hemmed between malefic planets. Such natives may not be able
to adopt a child also.
No children due to curses - in previous life -Brahma sapa; pitru sapa; matru sapa;
satru sapa etc., - to be examined in chart with the placement of karmic planets. For
example (i) Rahu in Jupiter signs, (ii) Jupiter debilitated; Jupiter connected to Saturn
and Mars .(iii) 6th lord in 5th i.e., maraca for 5th bhava; (iv) 9th lord in 8th confirms the
curse. In the absence of any curse the remedial measures will be fruitful.
Sex of progeny - indication.

To know the sex of the child to be born the fathers chart is a better option.
Sex of the child to be seen from the house of child or pregnancy i.e., 5th for first child
and 7th for second child and so on
o Male children - (i) if 5th lord is a masculine planet, occupies a masculine sign or
navamsa and is reasonably strong; or (ii) Jupiter should be well placed and 5th house is
a masculine sign, occupied by masculine planet or must be in masculine navamsa.
o Female Children - If the 5th house is fully strong as above they get male children
otherwise they get female children.
Case: many female children and one male child ( who is not available) :
Male native: Rasi chart - No differences in bhava chart - Lagna Capricorn - in Acquarius
Mercury; in Pisces Sun, Jupiter and Ketu in rapt conjunction- in Aries Saturn and Moon - in
Taurus Venus and Mars in rapt conjunction -in Virgo Rahu.
Analysis : in 5th bhava in Taurus in Male sign - bhava lord Venus posited in rapt
conjunction with Mars 4th and 11th lord. Mars is badhaka lord for Capricorn lagna for
native and 4th lord i.e., 12th to 5thbhava.
After many daughters native got a male child but is not available to his - due to mars
badhaka lordship from lagna and 12th lordship from 5th.
Putra karaka Jupiter though in own sign - is weak because of combustion with Sun and
eclipsed in ketu-rahu axis.
Weak 5th bhava leading to natives death - after delivery of dead baby.
Case study - Female native - Aries lagna- Mars (retro) own sign in lagna; Saturn and Ketu
in Gemini; Sun in Virgo; Venus and Mercury in Libra; Rah und Moon in Saggittarius -
Jupiter debilitated in Capricorn.
In bhava chart - only Venus moved to 8th bhava- all others are same.
12
Analysis - 5th bhava is aspected by Saturn - badhaka lord for Aries lagna; Saturn also
aspecting 9th (5th to 5th ) and 12th of native. 5th lord Sun is in Virgo a barren sign - it 6th
bhava and is 2nd to 5th a marka sthana for 5th bhava. Child died in mothers womb due
to jaundice in mothers 8th month of pregnancy. Jupiter is cause for jaundice disease-
Jupiter putrakaraka debilitated in 10th i.e., 6th ( disease house) to 5th (child house). Such
Jupiter has 8th lordship from 5th and also aspecting 5th lord Sun in Virgo.
Finally mother delivered a dead baby in her 8th month o pregnancy with medical help
and inspite of medical care she died within few days of that delivery.
Remedies, in brief, for getting progeny - Good number of remedies are prescribed in
classical books. This topic is not covered here as it needs to be specially dealt with
under expert guidance. However to say, in brief, some of them are like - Putra kameshti
Homam, Purusha Sooktam, Ganapati Homa, Maha Ganapathi Beeja Mantra, Santan
Gopal Mantra, wearing of kanaka Pusyaraga gem, ayurvedic medicines etc.,
Typical cases - Parents get separated immediately after child birth:

Child birth is the result of panchama bhava - is it benefic or malefic to relations with
spouse - in marital life- Spouse is departing during pregnancy or after delivery. Needs deep
analysis and understanding.
Case No.1 : Female native (1985) : lagna Capricorn putrakaraka (Retro) in lagna; in Aries
4th Rahu ; in Cancer Venus in 7th - but moved to 8th ; in Leo 8th Moon, Mars, mercury and
Sun; in Libra - Ketu and Saturn - in Bhava chart no change except Venus moving to 8th .
Married in Feb 2012; Female Child birth in May 2013 and living separately from june 2013
-
Case No.2: Female native (1978) : Rasi chart and bhava chart no differences - In Libra -
Lagna and Moon ; in Aquarius 5th - Sun, Mecury and Venus; in Pisces 6th - ketu; in Gemini
9th Jupiter and Mars (Retro) ;-- in Leo 11th Saturn (Retro) ;-- in Virgo 12th Rahu. Badhaka
sthana for libra lagna is Leo - lord Sun is in 5th .-- Badhaka sthana occupied by 4th and 5th
lord Saturn (Retro). -- 5th also occupied by mercury 8th lord to 5th bhava.
Lady married in 2007 - got a male child in 2008- While in pregnancy trouble started with
spouse - after birth of child gone up to court cases - Both are trying to reunite after 5th year
of court case - but unable to set family. Marriage and child birth took place in Saturn x
Saturn dasa - 5th lord in badhaka stana with aspect on 5th - Saturn as badhaka occupant not
allowing reunion of family. Let us hope that a better luck will prevail to reunite them.
==================================
Panchama Bhava study as per K P System

About K.P.System in brief: Astrological Systems in astrology can be broadly classified as Sign
based, star based and sub -based. Sub-lord is the lord of a part of a star. Here each star is
divided into nine unequal parts and a lordship is allotted to each part in the order of
Vimshottari dasa lords. Sequence of sub-lordship in each star starts with the star lord of that
star. Basically, the strength of a planet or of a bhava is judged on the basis of its sub-lord.
K P system, in short is an offshoot of Vedic astrology blended with some principles of western
astrology. Any astrologer with a good understanding of Vedic system of astrology can excel in K
P system. It is founded by late Guruji Prof. Krishna Murthy in previous century after an
exhaustive reading of different systems of astrology. Perhaps, best of all systems are adopted
here with no bias to any system
13
Rasi karakatwa, Bhava karakatwa and graham karakatwa are same in any other system
of astrology. It is also the same in K P system.
Vimshottari dasa system is followed in this system for timing of events.
K.P.system is based on Nirayana bhava chart like in Vedic system. The system adopted
is Placidius system of house division as in Western system. For Nirayan system -- K P
Ayanamsa (originated from Newcomb, astronomer) is suggested. As an alternative lahiri
ayanamsa is also suggested, then itself, by the founder of KP system.
Principles and procedure in selecting badhaka and maraca lords for each lagna are same
as in Vedic system. Negative results are indicated, in KP system also, wherever any
bhava cusp sub lord is connected to badhaka or maraca lords as per the context.
Analysis to assess the bhava results start from the sub-lord of the bhava sputa.
Bhava sputa sub-lord indicates as to whether the bhava result is promised or not to the
native.
Bhava results are delivered to the native during the dasa periods and transits of the
planets posited in the stars owned by the bhava lord.
Note: It is well advised to study this system in detail for its practical application.
Coming to 5th bhava analysis - the sub lord of the 5 th cusp connection to favorable and
unfavorable houses decides the results of that bhava as detailed below.
If 5th cusp sub- lord is connected to -

5th / 11th / 2nd - child birth - in the conjoined period of - 5,11,2 bhava significators.
2nd / 8th - the delivery may be caesarian.
If 5th cusp sub-lord is Rahu and posited in Jupiter star - birth to a male child.
4th/10th /12th /6th - child birth is denied.
If it is Mars and predominantly connected to 4th and 12th - abortion is likely.
6th and also to the badhakasthana of 5th bhava- in the concerned dasa period native
delivers a dead child or child will die immediately after delivery.
5th /6th / 10th - adopts a child and negotiations to adopt a child will be successful in the
conjoined period of 3rd,5th and 9th
7th /5th / 11th /1st - love affairs are likely
5th /6th /10th /12th / 1st failure of love affairs.
5th / 11th and also connected to badhakadhipati and with connection to Saturn / Mars
native delivers a child with some defect. Example - in the foregoing pages.
7th / 11th - marries the loved one.
8th / 12th - may be subjected to rape.
5th / 10th /11th /8th /6th /2nd - good in betting and gambling.
3rd /5th / 11th /4th - good in learning mantras.
5th /10th /10th /11th / 7th - becomes an artist - cinema, tv, drama etc.,
6th / 11th - good in sports -
2nd /6th /5th /11th /3rd - and the 5th sub lord is guru with no connection to 8th and 12th -
native earns good monetary wealth.
5th /9th /10th /11th /2nd /7th - and when the 5 th sub lord is Saturn / Mercury / Jupiter -
native become a good astrologer.
5th /11th /3rd /9th /10th /1st - native is bestowed with good intelligence.
4th /8th /6th /1st /12th - and if 5th cusp sub-lord is connected to rahu or ketu - native is
subjected to lose thinking, eccentric, like insane.
3rd/6th /2nd /1st /4th - native may get addicted to alcohol etc.,
14
Study from star lord of sub lord.

If star lord of 5th bhava cusp sub-lord is connected to 3rd / 5th - a sick child will pick up
health - BUT if connected to 10th and Saturn results in chronic sickness.
If star lord of 11th bhava cusp sub-lord connected to 5th and 10th - native will lead a
spiritual life.
NOTE: If 5th bhava cusp sub-lord is itself a badhaka or maraka or connected to them in the
chart the 5th bhava results are to be accordingly pruned.
If other bhava sub-lords are connected to 5th -

If lagna sub-lord is connected to 1st /5th / 11th - safety in life during the conjoined period of
1st,5th and 11th
If 2nd bhava sub-lord is connected to - 8th / 12th / 5th - loss of wealth in the conjoined period
of 8th and 12th .
If 4th bhava cusp sub lord is connected 4 th /9th /11th - continues academic education and to
complete or terminate studies in the conjoined period of 3 rd, 8th , 5th dasa lords.
If 6th bhava cusp sub-lord is connected to 1st /5th /11th the disease is cured in the conjoined
period of 1st,5th and 11th.
If 6th bhava cusp sub-lord is connected to 1 st/5th/9th - change in job is likely in the conjoined
period of 1st,5th,and 9th .
If 7th bhava cusp sub-lord is connected to 5th / 11th - an event in partnership occurs in the
conjoined period of 5th and 11th
If 10th bhava cusp sub-lord is connected to 9th /5th / 1st - Change of profession is likely in the
conjoined period of 9th ,5th and 1st.
If the 10th bhava cusp sub-lord is connected to 10th / 5th / 3rd - sale of immovable property is
likely in the conjoined period of 10th,5th and 3rd .
If 11th bhava cusp sub-lord is connected to 1 st / 5th / 11th - disease is cured in the conjoined
period of 1st,5th and 11th .
If 11th bhava cusp sub-lord is connected to 11th /5th /2nd - child birth is likely in the
conjoined period of 11th 5th and 2nd .
If 12th cusp sub-lord is connected to 5th / 8th / 12th - repayment of debts is likely in the
conjoined period of 5th,8th and 12th .
Twins births - both female - If 5th cusp sub-lord is Mercury occupying in a dual sign - deposited
in the star of a female planet and the star lord if occupying female signs - the child birth will be
twin female children.
More than two births at once like twins -- If 5th cusp sub lord is Mercury and is in dual sign --
and if that Mercurys star lord and sub-lord is either Jupiter or Mercury - or if the sub lord is
occupying Cancer or Scorpio - more than two children will be born at the same time like twins.
Defective children - due to connection of 5th cusp sub lord to badhaka lord of 5th bhava.
Example: Mother of two dumb and deaf children - 12th dec 1952 12.30 pm Place.82E33 and
17N21 - KP Analysis - Pisces Lana - 5th cusp - Cancer at 10 .7 - sign lord Moon, star lord Jupiter
and sub lord Mars. Badhaka lord for natives Pisces lagna is Mercury and for 5th bhava (for
child) is Venus. Ketu is 5th occupant. 5th bhava cusp sub lord Mars is conjoined with Venus
(badhaka lord for child) and Rahu in 11th house i.e, badhaka for mother.
Mother delivered a dumb and deaf first daughter during Rahux Venus xVenus x Ketu period .
15
And second dumb and deaf daughter during the Jupiter x Jupiter x Jupiter x moon period.
Still birth - If 5th sub lord is predominantly connected to 6th and also connected to
badhakasthana of the fifth house and when one of them runs the dasa - child will be dead or
will die immediately after birth.
Case study: Still birth delivery - Mother chart : 23rd Dec.1960 17.40 IST 82E33 17N21
5th cusp sub lord Rahu is placed in 3rd i.e leo which is 11th to 5th and badhaka to putra bhava.
Rahu is in Venus star - That Venus is posited in 8th - bad house for Mothers lagna.
Venus is lord of 8th from putra sthana i.e. Taurus.
5th bhava in Libra is favorable for child birth while 8th, 3rd,and 12th, are not favorable for survival
of child. Hence still birth. Added to the dasa period at conception and delivery is Saturn x
Mercury x Saturn x Saturn - are not good - because of Saturn in 8th and Mercury in 6th bhava.

A brief note on the influence of Rahu and Ketu

(Topics covered :: Need of the study of rahu and ketu - Influence of their transits around
chakras (nerve centers) and endocrine glands -Transits on imaginary Brigu bindu point in birth
chart.\ - Tranist on their natal their natal points.- References:: articles from old Journals and
Websites)
Sun and Moon are supreme in planetary system - yet they do get eclipsed by Rahu or Ketu They
are Karmic planets and are points of personal eclipses. Their axis serves twin purposes - both
mundane and spiritual life - good and bad. The opposing influences from nodes baffle the
astrological findings and demand a specific attention.
Every planet has nodes. Only Moons Nodes are considered from a long time. The Moon's
nodes are generally believed to be points where relationships with other people are influenced.
One school of thought is Moons North Node (Rahu) is a point of destiny while the South Node
(Ketu) is a point of karmic obstacles.
It is interesting to study the role of Rahu and Ketu with their natal positions as well as their
transits in natal chart.
Earliest use of Rahu -Ketu points were used in Mundane astrology to calculate the time of
eclipses. It was, perhaps, prior to the use of these nodes in individual charts.
Satyachareeyams monumental versions on stellar lordship of planets is quoted by eminent

authors like Varahamira, Saravali etc., YET many differences cropped up in the use of Moons
Nodes in predictive astrology It is because the Classical astrologers could not relish the Stellar
lordship of Rahu and Ketu especially when they are not considered (1) In rasi chart - for
ownership of signs - (2) Not considered in Divisional charts in earlier studies- (3) No mention in
Shadbala calculations- as they are exempt from Chesta bala, Kala bala , Directional strength etc.,
; (4) No combustion for Rahu and Ketu -(they have no rays), (5)They are not considered for
lagna -wise calculation of Marakas / Yoga karakas. They act by virtue of their position. (6) Even
renowned classical authors differed in the Exaltation and Debilitation positions of Rahu and
Ketu. (7) In Ashtakavarga system - only Sambhu Hora considered Rahu for Rahu Ashtakavarga
- There again the reduction method is not followed. (8) Except in Vimshottari dasa system the
Rahu and Ketu are not seen. Even in Ashottari dasa Ketu is not considered. (8) Seasonal cycles
are not attributed to Rahu and Ketu.- (9) No rulership is allotted to Rahu and Ketu among the
five Elements which are ruled by five planets. Sun is representing the Creator and Moon is for
2
fundamental energy.(10) Three among the Panchanga (Hindu Almanac) details -i.e., Tithi, Yoga
and Karana have no planetary lordship. But among Stars we have lordship of Rahu and Ketu for
six stars. (11) In a week Weekdays (vara ) are allotted to seven planets only- No Rahu vara and
Ketu vara. (12) In a Day and Night - Hora division is only among seven planets - No Rahu Hora
and Ketu Hora.
The classical authors, even among themselves differed about the ownership, exaltation,
debilitation, moolatrikona, friends, enemiys and neutral houses, aspects for these Nodes.
However, despite of conceptual differences, it is commonly accepted as the NODES do have an
influence in causing human life events. Many oldest books like Satyachareeyam, Manasagari,
Jatakaabharanam Sarvardha Chintamani, Phaladeepika, Uttarakalamruta, Laghu Parasari, Brihat
parasara Hora Sastra have dealt with the influence of these nodes in the life of human beings.
Revival of Stellar theories in practical astrology, of late, has brought back the importance of this
study of role of Nodes. Recent evolution of K.P.System is a refinement of the earliest / earlier
Stellar theories attuned to understand the way of latest human affairs.
The interpretation of the influence of these nodes is very validly helping to bring out more and
more details in the present competitive and complex life situations. With this we find in recent
global trends the inclusion of the study of MOONs NODES in by Western astrologers. We also
see the use of OUTER planets in India by Vedic astrologers.
In the above context - an attempt is made here to highlight the role of these NODES in TRANSIT
astrology. A caution, here, is that transit astrology is essentially to be interpolated with basic
influence of any planet / node as per its natal position in individuals birth chart.
Nodes move in the anti- direction to that of planets. Nodes take about 18 and half a year to cover
360 degrees. Following two items from the symptoms of transits are dealt with here. Emphasis
in this study is to consider the transit of nodes in the physical development of the body -
irrespective of the house division i.e., lagna and other houses.
Effects of Transit of NODES from Birth time are to be seen in the following aspects.
A. Rahu- transit on the Chakras and Endocrine gland areas in physical body.
B. Transit of all planets and nodes on the brigu bindu point in natal chart. i.e., middle
point between Rahu and Moon.
C. Transiting Rahu and Ketu on their natal points.
D. Transiting rahu and ketu on the natal points of all planets in birth chart. ( This is not
covered in this article for reasons of brevity)
(A) Rahu- transit on the Chakras and Endocrine gland areas in physical body.
Out of the seven chakras Sahasrasara chakra is considered as connecting the native to divine
area and is excluded in this study. Other six chakras viz., Ajna, Visudha, Anahata, Manipura,
Swadishtana, Muladhara are considered.
Chakras are nerve centers in physical body. Endocrine glands which contribute to bodys
health are closer to the nerve centers.
Glands that are closer to chakras are - Pitutory gland to Ajna chakra; Thyroid gland to
Visudha chakra; Thymus gland to Anahata chakra; Pancreas gland to Manipura chakra;
Gonad gland to Swadishtana chakra and Adrenal gland to Muladhara chakras.

For a broad understanding the endocrine glands are responsible for cell growth in body process
while the nervous system (chakras) is responsible for functions like breathing, body movement
etc., Both the endocrine system and nervous system functions together to help the body
functions. Well known theory is - a sound mind is in a sound body.
Coming to the transit of Rahu-Ketu axis since birth time - Transit rahu period in birth chart is
studied in two parts. (1) from natal point of Rahu to natal point of Ketu in birth chart; and (2)
from natal point of Ketu to natal point of Rahu itself in birth chart. Each transit takes about 9
and odd years in life time. In the first period of this 9 and odd years Transit rahu moves on one
side (viz., right side ) of the Nervous system in the body. Its commencement is counted from
Ajna chakra i.e., Rahu being the head of the axis. This 9 and odd years period is sub-divided
among the six chakras in nervous system - with each of about 1 and half years. Each of these
sub-periods is very important for the study of growth of physical body and its right / wrong
functions later on. Thus, the sub periods are 12 - covering on either side of the nervous system -
that is - the right and left sides of the chakras and endocrine glands in the body. Triggering of
transit Rahu on both sides of the nervous system contributes to the good and bad development of
physical body.
Triggering symptoms of Transit Rahu, in brief, in each of the sub-periods are :

Note: In this study - 1. Out of the seven chakras - Sahasrasara chakra is excluded - as it is
considered as connecting the native to divine area. Only six are considered. 2. The Ajna Chakra
location and other chakras thereon is considered to commence from the natal point of Rahu in a
birth chart -irrespective of (a) the natural Zodiac- (kalapurusha - commencing from Aries) (b)
house division in natal chart i.e., lagna to 12 houses.
(1) First 1.5 years - on right side of Ajna chakra and Pituitary gland- Child is in the growing
stage - understanding surroundings - learning to crawl, stand, walk, understanding body
language and words from the surroundings.
(2) Second 1.5 years - Right side of Visudha Chakra -Thyroid gland- learns words, broken
speech etc.,-
(3) Next 1.5 years -Anahata chakra and Thymus gland- Enjoying and reciprocating
mothers love and of other members in the family.
(4) Next 1.5 years - Manipura chakra and Pancreas gland- understands his own personality
- expresses or demands his own likings and desires -try to exercise own choices,
(5) Next 1.5 years -Swadishtana chakra and Gonad gland- learns about social behavior with
friends at home and school.
(6) Next 1.5 years - Muladhara chakra and Adrenal gland- by now the native is above 9
years and acquires good physical strength - learns to move around - likes games, sports
etc.,
By this time native child grow by 9 and odd years
(7) Next 1.5 years - other side of Muladhara chakra and Adrenal gland -Physical energy is
put into practical side - games, sports etc.,
(8) Next 1.5 years - Other side of Swadhishtana and Gonad gland-understands the gender
differences. Experiences increasing trends of socialization and moving or mixing with
others. Female native experiences commencement of menstrual periods.
(9) Next 1.5 years - Other side of Manipura and Pancreas gland -individual personality cult
develops- teenage problems starts - want to control their own needs- wants authority,
likes to take charge of his own destiny.
(10) Next 1.5 years - other side of Anahata chakra and Thymus gland- feelings of
linking others, love feelings etc., starts
4
(11) Next 1.5 years -other side of Visudha chakra and Thyroid gland - understands
beyond the words, dialogues etc., gains a better image of the surrounding society or
social relations.
(12) Next 1.5 years - on side of Ajna chakra and Pituitary gland - Native by now
crossed 18th year - fully grown to understand reality and able to express his own ideas in
their actions and reactions.
By the native reaches about 18 and years of age - further happenings on the transit Rahu in
these areas depend on the age and socio-economic surroundings of the native.
(B) Transit of all planets and nodes on the Brigu Bindu point in natal chart. i.e., middle
point between Rahu to Moon.
Brigu bindu point is derived from Nadi astrology- It is a sensitive point in natal chart. It is an
imaginary point at the middle of the distance travelled by Moon from Rahu in birth chart -
i.e., in the separating aspect (clock-wise direction) of Moon from Rahu point.
When any transiting planet benefic or malefic - including the nodes - conjoin or aspect this
point an event occurs. Conjunctions are more powerful than aspects. When more than one
planet triggers this point the results are to be carefully assessed.
( C )Transiting Rahu and Ketu on their natal points.

In the life time - Transit rahu or Ketu conjoin (a) their natal points in birth chart once in
around 18 and odd years. (b) Transiting Rahu or Ketu conjoin the natal position of each
other once in around 9 and odd years. Thus once in around 9 and odd years i.e., in multiples
of around 9 and odd years of age in the life time EVERY ONE gets this influence. At this
transit time native is likely to experience ill-health or mental tensions. These triggering
effects are to be studied with a holistic approach of the entire natal chart.
Caution: No planet acts in isolation at any given time. All planets works in a concerted manner.
Any package deal from planets to any native may be with a leadership of one or few planets by
virtue of transit or natal positions and or their dasa main/sub periods. Therefore it is highly
essential to resort to a holistic approach while decoding any individual chart.

Astrology is the first, oldest and only science bequeathed by the creator
Brahma, through the great Sages Narada, Augasthya, Parasara etc., as a boon to mankind for
repared for any
bad/good eventualists psychologically and be prepared to face/enjoy them. Originally astrology
used for fixing auspicious time for performance of Vratas/Yagnas and subsequently for
forecasting and timing of event. In ancient t
-hearted Sanskrit Slokas.
The first book written on Astrology is Bruhat Parasara Hora Sastra by great Maharshi
Parasara in 3000 BC. Bruhat Jataka by Varaha Mihira of Vikramaditya period (500 AD) is
next important work in Astrology. It is widely believed that Astrology is the boon given by us to
the world. The first book in Astrology was written by Prof.B.Suryanarayana Rao grandfather of
th
century.
Astrology word derived from Greek Astro-a star & Logos- reason/logic. It is also known in
Sanskrit as Jyothisha/ Hora Sastra meaning the light i.e., direction in dark/Science of time
respectively. Various definitions for Astrology are - i. It is the science of Symbology, ii.
Astrology is the language of stars. Planetary vibrations act on human beings and influence the
feelings, sensations and attitudes of the person -Lellywn George, iii. Dante declared Astrology as the
highest, the noblest, and lastly, iv .Prof.S.Krishnamurthy-inventor of KP system says-
scientific from the time of ancients to the day, but its use cannot be demonstrated by test-
tube methods. Planetary force is all about us hidden from our sight and produces effects
Astrology and studying it since 20 years and become strong supporter of astrology. Kepler,
102
Beacon, Pythagoras and Democrats have become Masters in astrology. Astrology has strong
bondage with astronomy, a science dealing with the planets movements, velocity, and
periodicity, hence it is a science. Further it has connections with Philosophy, logic and
psychology sciences.
Lelwyn George says-

no mistake in your horoscopical calculations the results obtained will agree in a very astonishing
help of Panchangas and Ephemeris and the latter one is used world-wide for Western Astrology
also and presently soft-ware is available for casting instantly. The birth time is most important
and utmost accuracy is required for effective predictions. Another important aspect effecting
adversely predictions in astrology is Ayanamsa differences between modern astrologers which is
effecting and if any concurrence arrived on this vexed subject the astrology gets boost,
confidence and encouragement from the public. Further there is no patronage, encouragement
and support from the government by aid of funds and including in academic curriculum at the
university level. Presently some action is being taken on these lines. In Olden Days the royal
patronage, honour and respect for astrology was accorded by the rulers and after our ancestor
Indian Sages Chinese, Greeks, Chaldeans and Egyptians patronized and developed. Unless
astrological knowledge was possessed one could not become emperor in olden Chinese kingdom.
Whatever method is studied whilst learning astrology the basic characteristics of- Planets (Graha), Rasis
and Bhava Tatwas i.e., characteristics, are the same and more control on these knowledge the more
effective will be the analysis/predictions of the astrology. There are various systems of Astrology-
Parasara (Traditional), Gemini, Tajaka, Nadi (Brughu and Dhruva/Satya), Krishna Murthy Paddhathi (KP
System) and Western.
Casting of Horoscope: This is done with the help of Panchanga in olden days and in modern times by
using
being cast and for KP Chart Raphael Tables of Ascendants, Astrological Tables for all(Ready
-
wares are available for instant casting of horoscopes thus leading to ignorance of knowledge in
casting. But its applicability and use is not deniable. The coincidence of Ayanamsa i.e., Precision
of equinoxes when Sayana & Nirayana system had the same in the past which is varying to
Astrologer to Astrologer, for KP and N.C.Lahiri they are 291 & 285 AD respectively. The value
of Ayanamsa variation per year is that of Newcomb i.e., 50.2399475 was considered by Prof.
KSK for his KP Chart casting.
In KP Chart Rasi and Bhava are not synonymous as in Parasara. Here Bhava is known as Cusp and it may
start anywhere in a rasi and extend to another rasi. At times there will be two or
three cusps in a rasi as latitude is nearing 60o in that case there will be no cusp in a rasi. The cusp
range will not be 30o and it may be approximate or more and no fixed one. Cusp/Bhava in KP means it is
the border between two succeeding bhavas, one ending and the next bhava
commencing. The system followed in House division is Porphyrys/Sripathy system.
Prof.K.S.Krishna Murthy (KSK) whose full name is Kuthur Subbarayaiyer Krishnamurthi, the
inventor/discoverer of this astrological system. It is unique, scientific, part of Vedic astrology and
mathematical study and evolution without short cuts; after great and
103
considerable period of struggle in m
predictions given will be the same for any astrologer with the same horoscope as well timing of the event
which is simple, accurate and scientific.
i) History: KSK birth particulars are DOB: Sunday1-11-1908, TOB: 12.11pm and POB:
Thiruvariyaru (10o o
-
of expiry were at 2 am on 30-3-1972. After education from St.Joseph College, Tiruchirapalli
entered into service at the King Institute, Guindy, Chennai in Public Health Dept., Tamilnadu on
14-7-1927. He had fascination, dedication eagerness and sincerity for the study of Astrology and
failure of predictions as well as timing of events and caused dissatisfaction on the results of
Astrology, during 1934-46. From 1939 with two assistants carried out research and developed
the concept of Sub-lord Theory basing on Satya Nadi finally in 1951. He received Uchchistha
Maha Ganapathi through Jagadguru and consequently KSK attained his goal. He got great
inspiration and urge to teach and propagate KP system to eager students, who need not become
professional astrologers for earning sake; till 1961. He retired from service voluntarily on19-9-
1961. From 20-3-1963 Astrology & Athristha, KP Ephemeris for the years 1911-1970 and 6 KP
Readers were published and Prof. KSK was awarded 2 titles- a) Jyothish Marthand and b)
Sothida Mannan for his astrological yeoman services.
ii) System: KP system invented by KSK is only Parasara modified to the present modern period applying
certain aspects of Western Astrology, like- cusps, Fortuna and Western aspects; thereby one could be able
to give predictions and timing of event accurately. Apart from taking the Western concepts, as stated
above, KSK discovered Sub-lord, Ruling planets, Significators Table, special role to the nodes and
Horary No. 1-249 chart for answering the question astrology. There are no sub-divisional charts,
including Navamsa and only birth chart is available for analysis purpose and Dasa considered only
Vimsothari/Udu of 120 years duration for timing of the event. He took the concept of Dhruva Nadi which
was the basis for Meenas-1 & 2 (who developed Stellar Astrology) for evolution of Sub-lord.
a. Dhruva Naadi (Meenas) concept: A zodiac is divided into 12 rasis of 360 o and therefore
each rasi is 30o, consisting of 9 parts/Padas each part being 3 os20 constituting 21/4 stars in each
rasi. Thus a rasi was divided into 2 stars and one pada, as each star has 4 padas. Each star has
lord and lord of each star is known as Star Lord. This Predictive Stellar Astrology was
developed in 1936, by Late R.Gopala Krishna Rao and NV Raghavachary known as Meena-1&2
respectively. Sri NVR Raja (Meena-2 Jr.), Chairman, JKR Astro Research Foundation, Hyderabad
is propagating presently this system. KSK extended this concept to all the 27 stars in
the zodiac and each star of 13o20 divided into 9 parts/division of 3o
in a star is known as SUB LORD. These 9 parts i.e. Sub lords will be in the order and proportion
of Vimsothari Dasa and first part starting with the same lord. Thus in a KP chart we have
Cusp/Bhava Lord (i.e., Sign lord where a cusp/Planet), Star lord and Sub lord. Similarly, we
Sub-sub lords.
b. Ruling Planets (RP): Those planets, which are ruling at the time of query and contribute for the
fructification of the event, are called Ruling Planets. This is the important extract for horoscopes
judgement and they are nine in the descending order (from the powerful to
104
the least) - Lagna Sub-lord, Lagna Star lord, Lagna Sign lord; Moon sub-lord; Moon star lord
and Moon sign lord and lastly Day Lord. KSK has taken only seven RPs, excluding Lagna &
Moon Sub-lords.
Note: 1. If any of the planets which strongly aspects or conjoins the nine ruling planets it can also be
included in the RPs.
2. If any of the RPs is retrograde or posited either in the star or sub of a retrograde planet, reject that
planet during the period of retrogression and accept the remaining.
RPs Rules are- i. The ruling planets at the time of sitting for judgement are the same to that of the horary
time, ii. The RPs at the time of the fructification of the event are the same to that of the birth time/horary
time. The presence of RPs is to be same but not the order.
Application of RPs: The RPs have a definite role in i. fructification of event by finding the
common planets between the fruitful significators of an event and RPs during their conjoined
period.
ii. To verify the correctness of chart by verifying the RPs of a chart with that of arrival time of the
consultant.
iii. Rectification of birth time. Of all the methods of rectification of birth time the most important one is --
Sign, Star and Sub lords will be the sub lords of the concerned cusps at the time of occurrence.
c. Significators Table: A planet will become significator to a house occupied by its star lord
and houses owned by the star lord. The tenant planet is known as significator and indicates such
matters depending on the su-portion of the star occupied by the tenant. Significator gives the
result of its star lord and so it becomes the indicator of the matters of the house occupied, owned
and aspected by it and sub lord decides regarding that matters of the star lord. A planet is said to
be a significator of a particular house when it has capability of offering result of that house due
to its stellar and positional status which will be low, medium and high category. Significators
are the sources for events and used for timing of event. A planet which is placed closer to
cusp/Bhava, even if it was behind the cusp and becomes Bhava lord or planet in the
constellation of Bhava lord, it will be the significator of the above cusp which is in front of it.
Note: The cuspal S/L of a Bhava itself qualifies as significator of that bhava in the absence of planets in
its stars, even if S/L negates the bhava.
The following are the significators of a Bhava in the order of the strength-
i. Planet in the constellation of the occupant of the Bhava (Strongest).
ii. The occupant of the Bhava.
iii. The planet in the constellation of the Bhava Lord. iv. The Bhava Lord.
v. The planets conjoined with the above significators and aspecting the cusp and the planets therein.
105
Note: 1. The nodes are to be included as significators if they are conjoined /aspected /tenanted in the
house of significators. 2. Where there are 2 or more planets in i to iii above, all the planets share in the
fructification of the event according to their strength.
Selection of fruitful significators: The prediction will be accurate basing on the selection of fruitful and
rejecting temptor (false) significators. Selection will be made amongst them either on selective basis in
the order of strength or by eliminating the tempters/weak significators--
i. If a planet is connected with the concerned Bhavas and becomes significator of the relevant houses and
if also posited in the subs of any of the significators of the concerned houses, then the planet gives more
dependable results.
ii. If any planet is posited in his own sub it is stronger planet, iii. If S/L is in beneficial aspect with
constellation lord.
iv. If S/L of any event is c/w further 2 cusps of the same event success without failure.
v. A significator is weak if it signifies Trik 6/8/12 cusps, their constellation or sub lords as well as Trik
houses of the bhava under consideration. It becomes weak if star and sub lords become weak and more so
if S/L is also weak.
d. Role of Nodes: Rahu and Ketu, the nodes were allotted special roles in KP system prediction. They are
considered as direct and move in opposite direction. Rahu and Ketu represent the planets in the order of
priority- the planets that conjoin, aspect, its star and sign lords. In other words, the nodes represent the
planets in this order if those planets are not the significators concerned. Similarly, if nodes do not come
under the significators, these planets represent Rahu or Ketu accordingly.
e. Aspects and conjunctions: An aspect is the angular distance of celestial longitude between two points in
the zodiac, between two planets or one planet and a rasi. Two or more planets in the same rasi are known
as conjunction. Aspect and conjunction are more powerful within the orb of 8o and will be from sign to
sign. Western aspects were preferred for effective results compared to Parasara aspects by KSK.
iii. Judgement: a. Punarphoo If in a chart there is a connection between Saturn and Moon for a relevant
Bhava then that particular Bhava result will be abnormally delayed with obstructions and frustrations.
Saturn will have more adverse effect being the slow moving planet.
b. Improving houses 1, 2, 3,6,10 & 11 houses are improving houses to the native and the remaining
houses are improving houses for 7 th Bhava/opposite party. The more connections to a particular Bhava
with improving houses the more powerful and favourable result for the
concerned Bhava.
c. Rules Bhava/Cusp lord i.e. the sign in which the cusp is placed that sign lord is the source/agent of
that Bhava, Cuspal star lord gives the nature of result and Cuspal sub lord gives
the result of the house more predominantly and essential for minute prediction.
In Stellar Astrology a planet deposited in a particular star gives the results of the lord of the star and acts
as an agent of the star lord. A planet transiting in a sign is the source of the event, the lord of the star in
which the planet is transiting signifies the nature of the event according to its nature, occupation and
106
lordship, while at the same time the sub lord decides whether the event is favourable or not according to
its lordship.
Significators of an event if connected with positive and negative houses, positive and negative results will
prevail.
Note: i. A planet gives the results singly according to its nature. If it conjoins with another planet
or aspected by another planet gives combined results according to their nature. Also when a
planet is posited in a star the planet gives the nature of the star lord accordingly.
ii. Whenever, Sub Lord is referred, if it .is not directly connected with the concerned cusp, then
the lord of the star in which the sub lord is posited if connected with the relevant cusp then also
the result can be taken.
be taken.
6. Example horoscope for analysis: DOB: 14-6-1940, TOB: 22.20hrs. Long82-01, Lat 16-30,
Sun 60-31, Moon 171-53, Mars 85-07, Mer 83-18, Jup 13-24,Ven 78-39, Sat 17-34,Ra 173-
51& Ke 353-51. Cusps: I 297-34, II 333-54, III 7-42, IV 46-37, V 62-23, VI 88-10, VII 117-34,
VIII 153-54,IX 187-42, X 6-37, XI 242-23 & XII 268-10. Moon Dasa Balance at birth: 1yr 1m
0d.
i. Longevity: Rule: 1CS/L c/w 1,5,9 long life, 6,8,12 short life and middle life 6,8,or 12 and
short life 1/5/9 . In this chart, I CS/L Jup c/w 5, 9& 11cusps hence long life (Above 75 yrs). Jup
is in Star/Sub of Ven/Ven c/w 4, 5, 9 & 8. Jup conjoined with Mars and Mer who are c/w 2,6,11
& 12 and5, 11 & 12. The native will have minor ailments and cure, having Long life.
ii. Education: Rule 4,9 & 11 cusps. In the chart 4 CS/L Mer c/w 6,8,11 &12.So basic education
successful after initial difficulties. 9 CS/L Ra c/w 6,8 &11 and Jup Edn.Karaka c/w 4,9,11 & 12
so, higher education completes successfully after failures and sudden obstacles.
Note: For longevity determination umpteen combinations are there in traditional system whereas
in KP it is simple.
7. Further research after Prof KSK: Prof KSK could not do research on Sub-sub level, even though he
desired because of cruel fate of death and subsequently carried by his followers. Similarly, Horary Nos.1 -
249 (sub level) gone to sub-sub level of Nos.1 - 2193. In predictive part of KP system three different
systems were evolved and they are--
i. Sub Sub lord Theory (Multi Stellar System MST) by Dr.Kar:

F1 - Planet A is in the star of B.
F2 - Planets A & B in the star of C.
F3 - Planet A in the sub or sub sub of B, B in the star of C.
F4 -Planet A in the sub or sub sub of B, B is in the star of C and C is in the star of D.
ii. 4 Step theory developed in Maharashtra by Mr.Husbe and Sri S.G.Gandhalekar, Thana: KP Principle
Plan -- a. Star lord, b. Sub lord gives whether the results are successful or not
(+ve or -ve) due to its placement or ownership,
107
c. placement/occupation and d. ownership of houses. This principle/discovery has shaken the
Astrological world and known as a sub lord theory in KP method which is carried forward i.e.,
Sub lord will give the results indicated by Star lord of the sub lords. This is fourth step.
Dr.Andrew Datta (Sri Indrajit), one of the sincere and ardent students of Guruji Late Sri PVK Punneswara
Rao, presently doing further studies and research on KP system, published
numerous research and useful articles and running quarterly journal JASA( Journal for
advancement of Stellar Astrology). Conducting Professional Courses, Videos on KP system. Details can
Sri Punit Pandey summarized KP System in five principles-
2. Twelfth house from any Bhava negate the results of that house.
3. Results of an event are decided by a group of houses.
4. Sub Lord of a planet qualify the results of that planet.
5. Cuspal Sub Lord tells whether the event is promised or not.

1. By Divine grace I have great opportunity in presenting the paper on

"Astrology and Modern Science" in this Seminar before the august body of
astrological savants attending the National Seminar from various parts of India.
2. Science: a) The word science comes from the Latin Scientia meaning
knowledge. a. Science is a system of acquiring knowledge through observation and
experiment to describe and explain natural phenomena and organised systematically
having gained using the system and purpose is to produce useful models of reality.
b. Science is knowledge attained through study/practice or knowledge covering
general truths of the operation of laws especially as obtained and tested through
scientific method concerned with the physical world. Most scientific investigations
use some form of scientific method and Astrology is considered as mother of all
sciences as it was evolved through long period of nature observation since mans
primitive Stone Age. Science is of two types - i. Natural-Physics, Chemistry,
Botany, Zoology, Geology and ii. Social sciences History, Geography, Politics,
Economics etc., Each type of this is again subdivided into Applied Science relating
research to human needs.
c) The facts, formulae are established through observations; reasoning relied on
both inductive and deductive methods, and through experiments in fully equipped
laboratories and these will form the basic facts known as theory and will be
consolidated. Basing on these theories as time passes with experience, certain new
scientific assumptions will be deducted and through experiments conducted in the
laboratories under ideal conditions these formula will be established and approved
and will be incorporated in the relevant science as theory for further research and
development. At times some experiments as well as some natural scientific facts
will be reenacted in their enthusiasm for science development. For example, in their
enthusiasm for science sake and further development they recreated known
surroundings and conducted experiment with great effort and necessary
arrangements with highly sophisticated latest technology. For example the Big
Bang theory. It is well known fact that the Universe was created through Big Bang
explosion of huge, dark and high density whirling mass in semi-fluid state and
known as Dark Energy which works against earths gravitation force. It was proved
in 1990 that the universe was ever expanding This Dark energy is similar to tension
and in space spreading throughout universe thereby decomposing all the material
existing in universe and this will take place for more than 100 billion years. To find
the basic source of Dark Energy the scientific world created artificial environment
required to conduct Big Bang experiment at Lord Harden Collider in Switzerland
and studying the results. The age of the Universe is13.75 Billion (equal to 1 x 109
Giga) years which is equal to 137 crores years in Indian measure and this was
mentioned earlier by our great Rishis as Pralayam.
d) The first development of science and civilization got impetus and acceleration
due to invention of printing press in 15th Century renaissance period when it had
become the easiest way of recording all the events in black and white on the paper.
This led to preserving the knowledge for future generations avoiding duplication of
work and accelerating knowledge by research for best utilisation to human race and
ushering into the age of written word. The second important and effective
development is discovery of Computer in the second half of 20th century.
These developments led to development and boosting Astrology and brought out of
ushered in the age of bitten word. All the information which was in obscure and
isolated for hundred of years were made available to one and all and the knowledge
is spread thereby new discoveries were made through seminars and research.
Simultaneously, the available knowledge was consolidated duly revitalizing thereby
raising interest in the subject Important thing in this computer age is relieving
those men who are scared of mathematics but interested in the predictive part of
Astrology.
3. Astrology: a. It is undeniable fact and true that astrology is a boon given

to the man kind by the creator Brahma through one of the great Rushis - Augasthya
and others. It is the only science which tells future events relating to human life
thereby giving caution and opportunity to face accept and grasp the opportunity for
ones happy contented life. All these were predicted by our ancient Rishis through
their Divine power known as Divya Dristhi acquired by them through their rigorous
discipline, regular planned and pensived life through mystic process of Yoga, as far
back as 5000 years BC and which were confirmed in the present civilised,
developed scientific era of 20th century through the latest invented scientific
Instruments. The Big Bang theory discovered by the modern scientists which was
basis for creation of this universe was long back narrated by our ancient Sages as
Jalapralaya leaving Vishnu and Brahma, the creator and the latter started creating
the universe on the command of Narayana. This indicates the greatness of our
ancient sages and our culture greatness compared with the modern discoveries
which were all stated first by sages and confirmed subsequently by the scientific
world. According to Prof.K.S.Krishnamurthy, astrology offers help and hope in a
manner unobtainable by any other method. It is scientific from the ancients time to
the day, but it cannot be demonstrated by test tube methods. Planetary force is all
2
about us hidden from our sight and produces effects which are decisive and
sensitive. Thus it is clear and evident the difference between the Astrology and the
science.
b. Astrology is based on sound and time tested doctrine/reasoning which includes
various gross and subtle factors and solid mass evidence regarding applicability and
relevance of astrology in practical life. This involves intense study and intricate
calculations basing on stars, planets, signs and Bhavas interrelationships and
various phenomena on earth including humans life. The astrological reasoning
takes into consideration various gross and subtle factors which might be unscientific
based on solid mass evidence regarding its applicability and relevance in practical
life. An expert, experienced and well versed Astrologer who is rational, open
minded, outspoken and irreligious can pinpoint the nature and time of event for all
the problems, even the critical ones like health, accidents etc., Numerous people
benefited by their guidance duly getting hope and solace. Serious investigators and
experienced astrologers will not accept that astrology is outcome of superstitions
based on human anxiety and life uncertainty. Because of its evidence astrology
held in reverence in spite of failure in rational explanation. Ayurveda the Indian
ancestral medical science is another example of similar nature and applicability in
every day to day life. Apart from the above facts, astrology can be considered as a
science due to
i. In casting of the horoscope which is the important tool for predictions,
the help of mathematics, a science is essential.
ii. Astrology deals with the planets its movements, longitudes, Latitudes,
Declinations etc., which are related to Astronomy, a science.
iii. Astrology requires the help of Psychology, a social science for giving
predictions to the natives tactfully especially regarding health and
unexpected and unpleasant matters.
iv. Sociology and History social sciences are related to Astrology as
predictions are to be given taking into consideration of social situation
of the society and with the back ground of history taking as experience,
astrology can be developed.
c. The first astrological book written by the great Rishi Parasara in Sanskrit, the
mother of all the languages titled -"Bruhat Parasara Hora Shastra in 5000 B.C. and
second astrology book is also in Sanskrit of Varaha Mihira's - "Bruhat Jataka" in
500 AD of Vikramaditya's time. In India we have huge mass of studies and treatises
on astrology. Many of them are outcome of the inquiries of earnest and intelligent
explorers and strong evidence of planetary influences and their relevance to life. It
is believed that astrology is gifted to the world by India and spread to the world and
consequent developments of various systems of Astrology like Western, Tajaka etc.
It is well known fact the basics of astrology i.e. Graha, Rasi and Bhava Tatwas are
the same whatever system may be followed. The first Indian Edition of Astrology
was written by Bangalore Suryanarain Rao in diglot form in 1892 (English &
Kanada) and subsequently republished as "Compendium of Astrology" omitting
Kanada portion.

4. a) The gap and clash between astrology and modern Science is unbridgeable
because they differ in several aspects in both the approach and reasoning. The
former's investigation is holistic approach to the life and universe whereas the
latters is analytical one. In this context it can be aptly remembered the quotation
of mathematician and philosopher Alfred North Whitefield - "A clash of doctrines
is not a disaster-it is an opportunity" thought provoking and apt in the clash between
science and religion i.e. astrology. The best example for this statement is in the
science of Physics on the nature of light where two contradictory theories by
Newton's Corpuscular and Huygenss wave theories. Pointing out that while one
group of phenomena can be explained by only on the Huygenss and another large
group can be explained only on the former's i.e. corpuscular theory.
b) We should not blindly accept anything in any sphere of thought without

verifying on solid reasons based on research of the competent persons. If a clash
occurs between two groups on the details of any point with overlapping should not
lead to reject hastily of any doctrine established with solid evidence. We should
wait with a history of thought and perspective sense till the doctrines is accepted
and established and not with passively and in despair. But if we have any clash it is
an indication of having wider truths and finer perspective within which a
reconciliation of a deeper religion and more subtle science is found.
5. a) In Modern times every one including Scientists argue in haste, that Astrology
having time tested doctrines, is unreliable and unscientific in spite of their contrary
encounterance in their life and making mockery of it. Majority of the people
pertaining to various categories of higher social status, influential externally they
dispose; internally believing and seeking astrological advises, especially in critical
and difficult situations. These people dont accept for critical research and come to
hasty conclusion without the knowledge of basics. In this context it is apt to state
the opinion of the greatest physicist Sir Isaac Newtons statement that he wanted to
criticize Astrology and learning the same since 20 years and became strong
supporter of Astrology. Here the Scientist put forward three important points
i. The most important one being that before commenting on any subject one
should have basic acquaintance of the subject.
ii. Astrology is a vast subject which could not be mastered in a short period.
iii. It tells the importance and greatness of Astrology on which Newton had.
b) Now a days throughout the universe all the subjects, both Natural and Social
Sciences, are encouraged by the Government by providing funds for further studies
and research in various universities. In spite of advanced and intensive training
they are failures in every sphere - space research, medical fields etc., whereas in
Astrology there is no such facility and encouragement for research. All astrological
predictions will not be cent per cent correct and some will go wrong. This is
applicable to all subjects without any exception. It is not out of context to mention,
that the hospital authorities will take declaration from the patients close relative
absolving the doctors, treating the patient from the risk involved in the treatment
4
even though the doctor is experienced, highly qualified and hospital is equipped
with latest, highly sophisticated technical instruments. Further Astrology is
neglected and underwent incognito and retardation due to social and political
circumstances like foreign invasions/rule in spite of this it has survived because of
peoples patronage and interest shown by ardent believers, students and followers.
Since last two decades interest is growing to study astrology and introduced in
various Indian Universities as well as in foreign countries. As a matter fact
Astrology is encouraged and followed more seriously in countries like America,
England etc., In these countries Astrologers can be sued in Consumers Council if
the predictions fails and so they have more responsibilities and seriousness.
c) The ancient explorers had strong belief that knowledge can be acquired
only through the scientific methods only. It is unfortunate that our Indian Scholars
and Scientists do not believe our ancient and traditional knowledge until some
foreign countries viz., Germany, England etc., have found their importance,
relevance and greatness through their heresy, studies and research. They took
strenuous efforts to establish the proved fact by all means published and brought
to the attention of the scholarly world. Then only our Indian scholars began to
believe our ancients knowledge and their utilization to the human world
especially Vedas, Upanishads, Astrology and Ayurveda (Oldest Indian Medical
Science). All these knowledge are in Sanskrit language which only a few people
know now changes are occurring and our people to study them using the modern
scientific methods. In one way we, Indians should be grateful to those foreign
scholars for enlightening us our greatness and creating interest for further study.
d) Salient features of our Sages contribution to the scientific knowledge are

i. The discovery of subtle and profound psycho-biophyscical connections
between human organism and cosmic subterranean process. Their knowledge was
more and beyond incomprehensible to the modern European scientific world and
these were ignored by concealing their incapacity under argument that oriental
wisdom is mere mysticism and showing their inability to distinguish the rational but
not yet fully understandable essence from various figments of imagination. Really it
is a wonder, our ancient Sages got such knowledge without experiments, ifs and
buts that regulate the course of vital processes and the character of the interaction
between man and nature, particularly the celestial bodies influence and the various
radiation process from space to earth. All this, both in diagnosis and treatment,
was considered and shows high level of culture which arouses awe,
admiration, .gratitude and thirst for research leading to human race further
development. The ancient phenomena discovered by our Sages were found by the
modern scientists and made them awe with respect and gratitude, for example
i. Pusphak Vimanam is modern Jumbo jets.
ii. Pasupathastram used in Mahabharata war is Atom bomb.
iii. The birth of a. Dronacharya, Guru of Pandavas, and b .Birth of
Dritharasthras 101 children, through the process of keeping the embryos
in the separated containers, specially made of mud-pots. This is nothing but
modern medical method of In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF) i.e. test-tube
baby process.
5
The scientists done research on our ancient literature and fund, due to enthusiasm,
eagerness and sincere devotion and got inspired by great amount of knowledge;
with the ultimate goal of new discoveries leading to human welfare development in
all fields and aspects. A giant leap backwards is not to be disposed and
contempted but encouraged if it leads to sense of gratitude, admiration, self-
contentment and thirst of learning ultimately gaining new knowledge for further
advancement in total human progress.
e) While scientists agree for radiation and electro-magnetic waves in their
research they disagree to apply it for Indian Literature esp. astrology which is the
Dominating factor to the modern science. Astrology s approach is not entirely
material which is the modern dominating factor in the present world but both
material and mental and they are interlinked and modifying influences are present
in the entire Universe. Astrology regards universe as interlinked consciousness and
physical phenomenon established in the source by Brahman the almighty God and
supreme reality, having infinite potential. Thus Astrology stresses the importance of
Karma and our ancient Sages found evidence to this Karma.
6) Conclusion: The latest scientific thinking is also coming to more balanced view
that the universe is both mental and material and requires a depth study of humans
nature and mind In the evolution of new science the critical research to be carried-
out in present times on ancient knowledge which emphasis on consciousness will
contribute a great deal for better understanding of human beings and thereby the
Universe. . All these regulates human world to exist with love and affection,
cooperation, development through constant regular, planned, disciplined moral life.
All these will be finally leading to the cherished national leaders desire of
Vasudhika Prapancham i.e. leading finally the universe emerging as a single
family living with peace, cooperation, happy and comfortable life.

Astrology - K.P.System
(K.P.System - Originated from Vedic & Nadi Astrology)
***
1.The first book written on Astrology is Bruhat Parasara Hora Sastra by great Maharshi
Parasara in 3000 BC. Bruhat Jataka by Varaha Mihira of Vikramaditya period (500 AD) is next
important work in Astrology. It is widely believed that Astrology is the boon given by us to the
world. The first book in Astrology was written by Prof.B.Suryanarayana Rao grandfather of
Dr.B.V.Raman, in English titled Compendium of Astrology in 19th century.
2. Astrology word derived from Greek Astro-a star & Logos- reason/logic. It is also known in
Sanskrit as Jyothisha/ Hora Sastra meaning the light i.e., direction in dark/Science of time
respectively. Various definitions for Astrology are - i. It is the science of Symbology, ii. Astrology is
the language of stars. Planetary vibrations act on human beings and influence the feelings, sensations
and attitudes of the person -Lellywn George, iii. Dante declared Astrology as the highest, the noblest,
and lastly, iv.Prof.S.Krishnamurthy-inventor of KP system system
Astrology offers us help and hope in a manner unobtainable by any other method. It is
scientific from the time of ancients to the day, but its use cannot be demonstrated by test tube
methods. Planetary force is all about us hidden from our sight and produces effects which are
decisive.
The great scientist Sir Isaac Newton said that he wanted to criticize Astrology and studying it since
20 years and become strong supporter of astrology. Kepler, Beacon, Pythagoras and Democrats have
become Masters in astrology. Astrology has strong bondage with astronomy, a science dealing with
the planets movements, velocity, and periodicity, hence it is a science. Further it has connections
with Philosophy, logic and psychology sciences.
3. Lelwyn George says- Mathematically, astrology is a science, and therefore if you have made no
mistake in your horoscopical calculations the results obtained will agree in a very astonishing manner
with the facts as you know them. The casting of horoscopes, in India are done with the help of
Panchangas and Ephemeris and the latter one is used world-wide for Western Astrology also and
presently soft-ware is available for casting instantly. The birth time is most important and utmost
accuracy is required for effective predictions. Another important aspect effecting adversely
predictions in astrology is Ayanamsa differences between modern astrologers which is effecting and
if any concurrence arrived on this vexed subject the astrology gets boost, confidence and
2
encouragement from the public. Further there is no patronage, encouragement and support from the
government by aid of funds and including in academic curriculum at the university level. Presently
some action is being taken on these lines. In Olden Days the royal patronage, honor and respect for
astrology was accorded by the rulers and after our ancestor Indian Sages Chinese, Greeks, Chaldeans
and Egyptians patronized and developed. Unless astrological knowledge was possessed one could not
become emperor in olden Chinese kingdom.
4. Whatever method is studied whilst learning astrology the basic characteristics of- Planets (Graha),
Rasis and Bhava Tatwas i.e., characteristics, are the same and more control on these knowledge the
more effective will be the analysis/predictions of the astrology. There are various systems of
Astrology- Parasara (Traditional), Gemini, Tajaka, Nadi (Brughu and Dhruva/Satya), Krishna
Murthy Paddhathi (KP System) and Western.
5. Casting of Horoscope: This is done with the help of Panchanga in olden days and in modern times
by using Lahiris Table of Ascendants and Lahiri Ephemeris Parasara charts are being cast and for
KP Chart Raphael Tables of Ascendants, Astrological Tables for all (Ready Reckoner) and KP
Ephemeris of the required year are used. However, now a days various softwares are available for
instant casting of horoscopes thus leading to ignorance of knowledge in casting. But its applicability
and use is not deniable. The coincidence of Ayanamsa i.e., Precision of equinoxes when Sayana &
Nirayana system had the same in the past which is varying to Astrologer to Astrologer, for KP and
N.C.Lahiri they are 291 & 285 AD respectively. The value of Ayanamsa variation per year is that of
Newcomb i.e., 50.2399475 was considered by Prof. KSK for his KP Chart casting.
In KP Chart Rasi and Bhava are not synonymous as in Parasara. Here Bhava is known as Cusp and it
may start anywhere in a rasi and extend to another rasi. At times there will be two or three cusps in a
rasi as latitude is nearing 60o in that case there will be no cusp in a rasi. The cusp range will not be
30o and it may be approximate or more and no fixed one. Cusp/Bhava in KP means it is the border
between two succeeding bhavas, one ending and the next bhava commencing. The system followed
in House division is Porphyrys/Sripathy system
History and Basics of K.P.System
6. Introduction: Prof.K.S.Krishna Murthy (KSK) is the inventor/discoverer of this astrological

system a scientific and mathematical study and evolution after great and considerable period of
struggle in modern era and he is known as Aadhunik Varamihira. The predictions given will be
the same for any astrologer with the same horoscope as well timing of the event which is simple,
accurate and scientific.
i) History: KSK birth particulars are DOB: Sunday1-11-1908, TOB: 12.11pm and POB:
Thiruvariyaru (10o N15, 79o-15) Sravana Nakshathra (Kanya rasi) and Makara Lagna and
Date of expiry were at 2 am on 30-3-1972. After education from St.Joseph College,
Tiruchirapalli entered into service at the King Institute, Guindy, Chennai in Public Health
Dept., Tamilnadu on 14-7-1927. He had fascination, dedication eagerness and sincerity for
the study of Astrology and studied both Parasara and Western systems from Jul27 from
1934. He critically analysed for failure of predictions as well as timing of events and caused
dissatisfaction on the results of Astrology, during 1934-46. From 1939 with two assistants
carried out research and developed the concept of Sub-lord Theory basing on Satya Nadi
finally in 1951. He received Uchchistha Maha Ganapathi through Jagadguru and
consequently KSK attained his goal. He got great inspiration and urge to teach and propagate
3
KP system to eager students, who need not become professional astrologers for earning sake;
till 1961. He retired from service voluntarily on19-9- 1961. From 20-3-1963 Astrology &
Athristha, KP Ephemeris for the years 1911-1970 and 6 KP Readers were published and Prof.
KSK was awarded 2 titles- a) Jyothish Marthand and b) Sothida Mannan for his astrological
yeoman services.
ii) System: KP system invented by KSK is only Parasara modified to the present modern
period applying certain aspects of Western Astrology, like cusps, Fortuna and Western
aspects; thereby one could be able to give predictions and timing of event accurately. Apart
from taking the Western concepts, as stated above, KSK discovered Sub-lord, Ruling planets,
Significators Table, special role to the nodes and Horary No. 1-249 chart for answering the
question astrology.
There are no sub-divisional charts, including Navamsa and only birth chart is available for analysis
purpose and Dasa considered only Vimsothari/Udu of 120 years duration for timing of the event. He
took the concept of Dhruva Nadi which was the basis for Meenas-1 & 2 (who developed Stellar
Astrology) for evolution of Sub-lord.
a. Dhruva Naadi (Meenas) concept: A zodiac is divided into 12 rasis of 360o and therefore
each rasi is 30o, consisting of 9 parts/Padas each part being 3os20 constituting 21/4 stars in
each rasi. Thus a rasi was divided into 2 stars and one pada, as each star has 4 padas. Each
star has lord and lord of each star is known as Star Lord. This Predictive Stellar Astrology
was developed in 1936, by Late R.Gopala Krishna Rao and NV Raghavachary known as
Meena-1&2 respectively. Dr. NVR Raja (Meena-2 Jr. an ardent student of Universal College
of Astrology-Hyderabad), Chairman, JKR Astro Research Foundation, Hyderabad is
propagating presently this system. KSK extended this concept to all the 27 stars in the zodiac
and each star of 13o20 divided into 9 parts/division of 3 o 20and the lord of division in a star
is known as SUB LORD. These 9 parts i.e. Sub lords will be in the order and proportion of
Vimsothari Dasa and first part starting with the same lord. Thus in a KP chart we have
Cusp/Bhava Lord (i.e., Sign lord where a cusp/Planet), Star lord and Sub lord. Similarly, we
have Planets Sign, Star and Sub lords. Dasa, Bhukthi and Antara lords become Star, Sub and
Sub-sub lords.
b. Ruling Planets (RP): Those planets, which are ruling at the time of query and contribute
for the fructification of the event, are called Ruling Planets. This is the important extract for
horoscopes judgment and they are nine in the descending order (from the powerful to the
least) Lagna Sub-lord, Lagna Star lord, Lagna Sign lord; Moon sub-lord; Moon star lord
and Moon sign lord and lastly Day Lord. KSK has taken only seven RPs, excluding Lagna &
Moon Sub-lords.
Note: 1. If any of the planets which strongly aspects or conjoins the nine ruling planets it can
also be included in the RPs.
2. If any of the RPs is retrograde or posited either in the star or sub of a retrograde planet,
reject that planet during the period of retrogression and accept the remaining.
Important RPs Rules are- i. The ruling planets at the time of sitting for judgment are the same to that
of the horary time, ii. The RPs at the time of the fructification of the event is the same to that of the
birth time/horary time. The presence of RPs is to be same but not the order.
4
Application of RPs: The RPs have a definite role in i. fructification of event by finding the common
planets between the fruitful significators of an event and RPs during their conjoined period. ii. To
verify the correctness of chart by verifying the RPs of a chart with that of arrival time of the
consultant. iii. Rectification of birth time.
c. Significators Table: A planet is said to be a significator of a particular house when it has

capability of offering result of that house due to its stellar and positional status which will be low,
medium and high category. The following are the significators of a Bhava in the order of the
strength.
i. Planet in the constellation of the occupant of the Bhava (Strongest).(PCO)
ii. The occupant of the Bhava.(OCC)
iii. The planet in the constellation of the Bhava Lord.(PCBL)
iv. The Bhava Lord. (BL)
v. The planets conjoined with the above significators and aspecting the cusp and the planets
therein. (Aspects)
Note: 1. The nodes are to be included as significators if they are conjoined /aspected /tenanted in the
house of significators.
2. Where there are 2 or more planets in i to iii above, all the planets share in the fructification of the
event according to their strength.
Selection of fruitful significators: The prediction will be accurate basing on the selection of fruitful
and rejecting temptor (false) significators. Selection will be made amongst them either on selective
basis in the order of strength or by eliminating the tempters/weak significators--
i. If a planet is connected with the concerned Bhavas and becomes significator of the relevant
houses and if also posited in the subs of any of the significators of the concerned houses, then
the planet gives more dependable results.
ii. If any planet is posited in his own sub it is stronger planet. &
iii. If S/L is in beneficial aspect with constellation lord.
d. Role of Nodes: Rahu and Ketu, the nodes were allotted special roles in KP` system prediction.
They are considered as direct and move in opposite direction. Rahu and Ketu represent the planets in
the order of priority- the planets that conjoin, aspect, its star and sign lords. In other words, the nodes
represent the planets in this order if those planets are not the significators concerned. Similarly, if
nodes do not come under the significators, these planets represent Rahu or Ketus accordingly.
e. Aspects and conjunctions: An aspect is the angular distance of celestial longitude between two
points in the zodiac, between two planets or one planet and a rasi. Two or more planets in the same
rasi are known as conjunction. Aspect and conjunction are more powerful within the orb of 8o.
Western aspects were preferred for effective results compared to Parasara aspects by KSK.
iii. Judgement: a. PunarphooIf in a chart there is a connection between Saturn and Moon for a
relevant Bhava then that particular Bhava result will be abnormally delayed with obstructions and
frustrations. Saturn will have more adverse effect being the slow moving planet.
b. Improving houses1,2,3,6,10 & 11 houses are improving houses to the native and the remaining
houses are improving houses for 7th Bhava/opposite party. The more connections to a particular
Bhava with improving houses the more powerful and favourable result for the concerned Bhava.
5
c. RulesBhava/Cusp lord i.e. the sign in which the cusp is placed that sign lord is the source/agent
of that Bhava, Cuspal star lord gives the nature of result and Cuspal sub lord gives the result of the
house more predominantly and essential for minute prediction.
In Stellar Astrology a planet deposited in a particular star gives the results of the lord of the star and
acts as an agent of the star lord. A planet transiting in a sign is the source of the event, the lord of the
star in which the planet is transiting signifies the nature of the event according to its nature,
occupation and lordship, while at the same time the sub lord decides whether the event is favourable
or not according to its lordship. Significators of an event if connected with positive and negative
houses, positive and negative results will prevail.
Note: i. A planet gives the results singly according to its nature. If it conjoins with another planet or
aspected by another planet gives combined results according to their nature. Also when a planet is
posited in a star the planet gives the nature of the star lord accordingly.
ii. Whenever, Sub Lord is referred, if it .is not directly connected with the concerned cusp, then the
lord of the star in which the sub lord is posited if connected with the relevant cusp then also the result
can be taken.
iii. If the sub or star lord is not connected with the relevant cusps, then the nodes representations
are to be taken.

ii. Education: Rule 4,9 & 11 cusps. In the chart 4 CS/L Mer c/w 6,8,11 &12.So basic education
successful after initial difficulties. 9 CS/L Ra c/w 6,8 &11 and Jup Edn.Karaka c/w 4,9,11 & 12 so,
higher education completes successfully after failures and sudden obstacles.
Note: For longevity determination umpteen combinations are there in traditional system whereas in
KP it is simple.
CESAREAN DELIVERIES- Fixing of time - How far valuable? *
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Published in Annual Souvenir -2005 - Jyotirvastu Vignana Samstha, Hyderabad
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Recent trends, with deep belief in vedic astrology and anxiety to beget best children
making parents over-anxious to fix time for cesarean deliveries. Their anxiety is to arrange a
powerful and sanctified birth chart for children to be born. In the process parents are likely to
be driven to a wrong path. At the stage of delivery choosing a time is almost amount to
unveiling the destined birth time. By the time parents try to choose the time of delivery the
pregnancy period is almost over and lot of planetary forces (as per karmic theory) have acted
to deliver the baby at a destined time.
In Astrological terms this is only an exercise to reveal the destined birth time
which is perhaps can best be fixed by the attending doctors. Medical experts themselves help
to fix a span of time for delivery the time fixed by astrologers is likely to be within that
span.
Since cesarean deliveries have become common now for different reasons such
fixation of time is fitting in the play. What is suggested is to take advantage of the Vedic
science to choose the time of conception, which will lead to a destined delivery time with
powerful and sanctified planetary configuration. The delivery time is destined time whether it
is normal delivery or cesarean delivery. Strong belief in Vedic sciences does reveal that time
fixed for cesarean delivery can nothing but the destined time of delivery. Any attempt to
deviate the destined time may lead to mishaps and perhaps destined mishaps may tempt
the involved to lead to wrong attempts.
Art of Conceiving: One has to understand the art of conception in this context. Sexual union,
pregnancy and reproduction of human species are the essentials on which the world exits.
The time of conception (Garbhadhaana) is very important and should be carefully planned.
Value of time: The value of time is inestimable. All objects in nature are produced in
Time, developed in Time and destroyed in Time. Creative, protective and destructive
forces are embedded in the womb of time. There is a time to sow and a time to reap. During
the sowing season, creative forces are in operation. When an important activity is to be
undertaken, destructive forces have to be screened off. Thus, the time of conception
(Garbhadhaana) is very important. The birth of Ved Vyaas is believed to have been the
culmination of a union at a time when planetary positions were conductive to produce a
philosopher.
Whatever is born or done at a moment of time has the qualities of that moment of
time. Sexual union should never be based upon simple sense gratification. There is
sacredness about sexual functions, and when moral and spiritual considerations are not
respected and brought into play, the result will be most unsatisfactory and all sorts of
undesirable progeny would be the products of promiscuous cohabitation.
Maharishies have given us clues as to how best we can make use of the grand
constructive vibrations operating in nature if our endeavors are to be endowed with success.
Expert astrological savants can guide for fixation of time for conception. For those who
are not much adept in astrology, the simple formulae for the birth of a dutiful, intelligent and
virtuous child, a couple should try for conception (Garbhadhaana) keeping in mind that:
1
i. The constellations (Nakshatras) Shravana, Rohini, Anuradha, Swati, Revati,
Moola, Uttarashada, Uttarabhadrapad, Shatabhisha are highly favourable for
nuptials.
ii. The constellations Pushyami, Dhanishta, Mrigshira, Ashwini, Chitta, Punarvasu
are ordinary
iii. The rest of the constellations are to be rejected.
iv. At the time of nuptials, no planet should occupy the 8th house.
Fixing time as per Ashtakavarga system:

Our ancient sages never advocated for a son - but for a virtuous son. All their
astrological wisdom has been applied so that an intelligent and dutiful son could be born to a
couple.
For those adept in astrology or has a keen desire to explore the mysteries of this
science several systems have suggested various methods.
A method is suggested here with the help of Ashtakvarga system.
Ashtakvarga system needs that date chosen by the couple for nuptials should confirm to
the following set of conditions simultaneously:
a. Jupiter must have minimum 4 auspicious points (more, the better), on that day, in
his own Ashtakvarga.
b. Jupiter should be in a kaksha of such lord who is a contributor of these auspicious
points.
c. The kaksha lord for Jupiter should neither be an enemy (Shatru) nor a bitter
enemy (Adhi-shatru) to it. Better will be if the kaksha lord is best friend
(Adhimitra) of Jupiter.
d. The sum of auspicious points for all seven planets, on the required date, should be
more than 30.
e. If a male child is desired, Jupiter should be in a male planets Kaksha. Male planets
are Jupiter, Mars and the Sun.
f. If a female child is desired, Jupiter should be in a female planets kaksha. Female
planets are Venus and the Moon.
g. When Jupiter is in the Kakshya of Mercury or Saturn, those dates should be
avoided because these two planets are eunuchs.
h. Jupiter should be transiting in a sign which is strong in natives Sarvaashtak varga.
i. Sun should be transiting in a sign having highest auspicious points in Jupiters
Ashtakvarga.
j. For precise timing during the chosen day, sexual intercourse should be during the
period, when a sign is raising containing highest number of auspicious points in
Jupiters Ashtakvarga. Conception is most likely to take place at this time. Childless
couples may please note.
However, if one is unable to calculate dates with such precision and confirmation to all these
sets of conditions, at least one can plan conception during a month which coincides with the
Suns transit in the sign having highest auspicious points in Jupiters Ashtakvarga. Classical
texts say that a virtuous son will be born out of this conception.
All this exercise in choosing a proper date and time for the purpose of conception will ensure
that all possible good cosmic vibrations are centered such that the energy generated would
nullify all other unfavorable factors and enhances the chances of success of the effort. A
person is thus enabled to remove, neutralize, counter-act or overcome the evils indicated by
his/her horoscope.
2
Horoscope is diagnostic. It merely points out the ills but prescribes no remedies. Suppose
evil planets in the fifth house indicate loss of children. Then, proper timing of consummation,
when ethereal currents released from the planets are as powerful as to minimize or modify the
afflictions to the extent that the birth and survival of at least some children may be ensured.
Proper timing of efforts helps one to minimize or modify the evils of past Karma to a
considerable extent.
Gynecologists and obstetricians can utilize this science of astrology?

They can effectively guide their patients in a meaningful way and enable them to bear
virtuous and healthy child.
