STELLER ASTROLOGY SHOWS THE WAY »y BALA There are various methods available in Astrology which offer guidance in interpreting a horoscope and reading events in a man's life. In Hindu traditional astrology, a number of classical works attributed to sages explain the various rules and expound the various dasa systems to be emplbjed. In the Western countries, in modern times. Astrology has had a phenomenal growth and a Lot of literature has been added to the subject. And t et, there is no foolproof method of finding out when events marked by the horoscope a^ birth would fructify. In the Hindu "fraditi'opal system; we find- a number of rules stated in regard to a planet's effect accorcing to its benefic or mai:Gc nature, its sign position, its house position, its conjunction and combination with other planets, its lordship of housefs), its aspects to others and the aspects received by it from other planets, its navamsa, strength and various amsas occupied by it, and the strength of its depositor by sign, navamsa, dwadasamsa, trimsamsa, etc. Even those who bail the traditional system pay . only lip service to it as they rarely follow its advice in the sense tbat they do not pay heed to shadbala or six souices . of strength, shadvarga or six vargas, and various other considerations. Then again, thp actual bbava position of a planet gets distorted because ,of the confusion as to where a begin commences and where it closes. The general run of Hindu astrologers simply identify the sign on which lagna has fallen as the first house, the sign succeeding it in the natural order of the zodiac as the second house, and soon. The more sophisticated among them depend on the method advocated by Sripati, though bow far they make actual use of it is known only to them. Furthermore, the importance of nakshatras and the role they play has been completely lost sight of, and though the Hindu system of Astrology is based 9

on the Nirayana Zodiac' no one has bothered to emphasize the value and significance attributed to nakshatras by our great mabarishis like Parasara. The great sage who gave to us the best system of delineation of events in life so far known to us—Vimshottari Dasa system, or Udu or Naksbatra Dasa sysiem as it is variously called—based it on nakshat- ras and apportioned to the nine significators employed by him unequal dasa years and, similarly, unequal periods in bhukties, anthras, etc. If the naksbatra influence is left out of our consideration, is there any merit in following _his Dasa system or, for that matter, even the Nirayana Zodiac ? la such an event, there lies really no argument against the acceptance and use of the Sayana Zodiac for predictive purposes for the western world is known to have outstanding men who have unerring predictions to their credit entirely based on the, Sayana System. Tbeyhaye in their ranks great thinkers and AucceiMfuf scientific astrolo-gers such as Sepbafial, Alan Leo, Evan-geline Adams, Marc Edmund Jones, Carl Jung and a host of eminent men. It is entire by for us to sift the material availablo.to us, codify the rules in suctf a' way thaf tfiey best. serve .its, - omit' the unessentials and evolve a .system that, is, at once simple, scientific and satisfactory. K.RISHNAMURTI PADHDHATI fills this gap:. It fit based on" the tenets of Parasara's system, tough the treatment of the influence of the naksbatra and its various subs ia original. It is unbelievable that the great sage whose system is naktbatra-based would not have known the use of nakshatras and their unequal subdivisions, and from this standpoint it seetnA doubtful whether the many works attributed to him, where no reference to the inflaence of nakshatras or their different unequal subdivisions

finds mention, were indeed bis. There is no use labouring on this point any more, except to say that the actual original works have been lost in antiquity. We shall take a horoscope for illustrating the utility of KR1SHNAMURTI PADHDHATI in reading results. Prof. Krishnamurti has on several occasions explained that the several horoscopes in a family would all denote the same event to a particular member of the family, their karma being intei-related. When father goes overseas, the horoscope of the wife will show such indication, the horoscope of bis son and daughter will point out separation from father going on a foreign voyage etc. If a man's horoscope denotes birth of 4 children, his wife's horoscope should indicate the same number (unless father has more than wife or friendship which again has to be inferred frbn his "horoscope a s well-as of his wife), the horoscope of the first child would show the number of bis brothers or sisters to be 3, etc. In this manner, all the separate events in the' life of a member of the family can be

gleaned from the horoscope of every member of that family, and all the results will entirely agree in nature. I. The following is the chart of a native born at 8-48-20 A.M.

Cons = Constellation in Hindu Astrology. Sub Sub-division of constellation according to Krishnamurti Padbdbati. •Rahu, unlike other planets, has not been assigned any sign of its own. It acts as the agent of the sign it is in. So Rabu is the representative of Kuja. t Ketu, like Rabu, has no sign of its own. Ketu and Rabu are only shadowy planets (chaja grahas) and give the results of the planets in whose sign they are placed. Also those planets with which they are conjoined/aspected. Ketu is thus Sukra's agent being in Sukra's iign, and also of Sani who aspects it by the 3rd aspect.'and futtber of Guru who aspects it by the Sth aspect. II

I. Death of Mother on 16th August 1943 at 11 A.M. At this time, the native was running Guru Maha Dasa, Guru Bbukti and Sukra antbra according to the Vimsbottari Dasa System,

12 houses or bbadaka stban, it will bring about death, subject to other factors as indicated in the horoscope. To Mithuna, which is the sign on the house of mother. Guru is lord of 7 ; Sukra lord of 12, and Chandra lord of 2. Guru is also bbadaka sthana adbipatbi. The cusp of the lOtb bouse (the 7th from the 4th bouse) is ruled by Guru and Sukra as co-rulers (Dbanus sign, Sukra's constellation Poorvabbadra and sub of Gmu). Guru occupies the constellation ruled by Kuja (Mangal), who is ruler of (he constellation on the cusp of the 3rd house (I2th to the 4th), and thus gets added power to cut short mother's longevity when his period operates. Sukra is lord of 3 (12 to 4) in the constellation of Guru (lord of 7 to 4) in asbtama (8th) to 4, and sub of Budha who again is in asbtama to 4.

Wordsworth, England's great nature ^)oet, wrote : "The good die first; and they whose hearts are dry as summer dust burn to the socket." As soon as radiance (Sivam) goes.away the body no longer takes in the life-con-, 'laming breath (Swaasam) and the physical body becomes a corpse (Savam). Death js not designed by Providence as an evil ~to mankind. But everything that has a beginning must have an end according to the law of Nature, and human existence is no exception. Our present life is but a milestone in the pathway of our evolution towards our reunification with Consciousness—the state.of Knowledge, Being -and Bliss.

Transit By transit, Sani who lords the 8th bouse (longevity) to the 4th house (by sign) and the 3nd bouse (by ruling the constellation on the cusp of the"5th which.is.2nd_to 4th) was in 12 (to 4) in the constellation of Kuja-Mangal (constellation ruler of 12th bouse to the 4tb). Guru, lord of 7 (to 4) was exactly over the 5th cusp of the chart —i.e., the 2nd cusp counted from the 4th. Most significantly, Sukra, lord of 12 (to 4) by sign and constellation lord of 7 (to 4) was transiting in conjunction with natal Neptune in the 3rd house (to 4). The 3rdbbava connotes longevity, Neptune is the planet of dissolution, and Sukra is connected with bouses 12 and 7 (death and separation). Transiting Kuja-Mangal was over the Progressed Moon, exciting the Moon to sudden action. Lord of lagna to the house of mother, Budha, was also transiticg in conjunction with transiting Sukra over Neptune's radical position in the bouse of longevity (to mother), all the planets opposing the natal Sukra's position.

The Fourth House in a horoscope designates mother. The lOtb bouse reckoned from the lagna is the 7th bouse ■or "marakasthana" from the 4th bouse or the house of mother, and the 3rd house of the chart is the 12tb bouse of the mother. The 4th house falls in Mithuna, a common sign (ubbaya rasi), and according to Jataka Farijata the 7th bouse to it is "bbadaka sthana" (inimimal for long•evity). Death is to be ascertained from the significators of bouses 2 and 7 (marakaslhanas), 12tb bouse (separation from the world) and bbadaka sthana (11th bouse for movable signs ; 9tb bouse for fixed signs ; 7th house for common signs on the lagna). Houses 3 and 8 which rule longevity or life span are less strong than marakaslhanas and: bhadakasthanas. If, however, there occurs (he major or sub or subsub period of significator of houses 3 and £ having also connection with 2 or 7 or

It was a Monday, ruled by lord of 2 to the 4tb bouse. The Moon itself was 15

transiting in the 8th bouse (to 4) in the consts-ilaiion of Kuja-Mangal ruling the constellation on the cusp of the 12ih bouse to 4 Sun, lord of 3 ruling longevity, transited in the 2nd bouse to tbe 4tb. At tbe exact moment of death, tbe rulinn lagna was Tbula and the naksbalra was Visakba governed by Sukra and Guru respectively Guru and Sukra together rule tbe dasa, bbukti and antbra. II. Father remarried on 19—2—1944 Houses 2, 7 and 11 together with Suk'a Kabthra kataka, should be examined, tbe 2ad bouse ruling family and its grovtb by additions by marriage and progeny, tbe'7tb bouse governing contracts, agreements and partnerships, and tbe 11th bouse having dom.nion over intimate and abiding friendships. Father is signified by tbe 9ib house from theJagna._ Therefore, the 3id hduse becomes the 7,h hou,e ' to "father: 11 n ruled by K-uja ai constellation lord and Guru as sub-lord. Guru is in tbe coastellation of Kuja occupying a dual sign. Therefore, more than one marriage to falhei is indicated.

Transit At Ibe time of tbe event, tbe Moon was transiting exactly over tbe father's lagna (i.e., cusp of 9tb bouse) aspecting therefrom the 7th bouse to father. It was in tbe conslellation Jyesbta ruled by lord of 11 (to 9). Sukra, lord of 7 (to 9) was transiting in lOib (2cd to 9). Sani was transiting in exact conjuction with tbe cusp of ibe 7tb bouse counted from 9. Dasa lord, Guru, was in transit over Kataka, sign owned by Moon, tbe bbukti lord, and transiting Guiu was in Aslesha governed by Budba, loid of II to the bouse of faibir in exact trine (120 degree) aspect to tbe transilitig Moon. Guru was also in stxiile to ibe 7lb bouse cusp (to 9) se x ite to tbe I Itb bouse cusp (to 9) and trir.e father's lagna (i.e 9th bouse). KujaMangal nas transiting in tbe sign of Kalathra karaka in ibe asieriim of Moon conjoined at birtb with Sukra, lord of 7 to father's house (9tb). Sun was transiting in'ihe nakibatta ef Mangal who rules the 7th bouse (to 9, by constellation. Lord of l 1 to -9th -house, Budha, was. transiting in tbe constellation of Chandra and sub of Gum, Chandra and Guru being tbe conjoint rulers of tbe dasa, bbukti and antbra that was in operaiion. Progression Whenever Sun by progression conjoins tbe natal position of Sukra, it is indicative of marriage. In tbe example cbait, Sun by progiessing at tbe rate of about 1 degree per year comes to Sukra s birth posidon 6 years later, and so 1938-1-6= 1944, when Ibe native's father got married At Ibis lime, Moon was progressiug in ccnjuncticn with the radical Ketu in 6 (to 9) and opposing radical Rabu in 12 (to 9). The lady to whom father was marritd passed away after a brief span of 5 years of married life. III. Death of stepmother on April 23, 1949. Step mother is father's wife by legal bordage. So tbe 7ib house to tbe 9th representing fatter would stand for step

Guru is lord of 2 to tbe 9tb bouse, and rules tbe subs on tbe cusps of tbe 10.b, 3rd and 7tb bouse which are respectively tbe 2nd, 7tb and 1 Itb from tbe bouse of father. Further, Guru is in tbe constellation of Kuja, Kuja (Mangal) being tbe constellation lord of houses 7 and 11 from the bouse of father (9ih bouse). Cbaudra is situated in tbe constellation ruled by Ratu Rabu, it may be noted, is tbe agent of Mangal oeiog in Mangal's sign all alone and unaspccted by any planet and so has to indicate the lesuhs cf Mangal's consicllation lordship of bousts 7 and 11 (counted from tbe 9ib). Chandia in Rabu'sconsttllatioo, occupies the tub of Sukra who is kaLtbra Karaka as veil as sign lord uf 7 (to 9). Chandra is also conjoined with 'Sukra at birtb. 17

respectively to the 3rd house. (AH harmonious aspects are not favourable and all inharmonious aspects are not evil. Good aspects to lords of benefic houses for longevity are good ; evil aspects to such lords brings about evil. Good aspects to planets situated in malefic houses or evil aspects to lords of benefic houses or their occupants contribute to evil Kuja, lord of 7/12 to 3, was transiting in Mesha in conjunction with transiting Rahu in the constellation of Kethu who at birth was in 12 to 3. Surya, lord of 4 (to 3) and Sukra (who also rules 12 to 3) also transited the constellation . of Kethu. Budha,lord of 2 (to 3) came, by transit, to the constellation of Sukra (lord of 12 to 3). Budha as the constellation lord Jyeshta and Guru as sublord conjointly rule the 9th cusp (7th—marakasthana—counted from the 3rd) and their periods are harmful to longevity to the relation denoted-by the 3(d . house. If_ the constellation and sub-lords of any bouse cusp rule the period according to Vimshottari dasa, life would in danger to that relation to whom thb above cusp happens to be in 2,7 or 12. We have judged stepmother's longevity from the native's horoscope correctly because she was destined to marry the native's father and thereafter separate from the world.

mother. The 3rd bouse is the 7th counted from the 9th and falls iu a fixed sign (sthira rasi) and the 9th bouse counted from the 3rd bouse (step mother) is her bhadaka sibana. So houses 4, 9, Hand 2 have to be considered while predicting her end, and these bouses are 2nd. 7ih 9tb and 12th counted from the house denoting stepmother. Now, Guru, dasa lord, is in 11 (bhadaka sthanatoS) Guru is also sublord of cu>p3 of houses 4, 9 and 11 (houses 2, 7 and 9 from the 3rd) and is placed in the constellation and sub of Kuja who assumes rulership of bouses 7/12 reckoned from the 3rd bouse. Etadha, bhukti lord is lord of 2 (marakasthana) to the 3rd house and is posited in the bhadakastbana (9) from the 3rd, in the constellation governed by Rahu, acting as an agent of Ruja (Mangal) _ru!itig houses 7/12 to 3rd Budha is in his own sub. Budha is also- constellation, lord of the 7th bouse (from the 3rd). Budha. thus; is a powerful maraka to the individual represented by the 3rd house. Sani, ahtbralord, is lord of bhadaka sthana—9th to the 3rd—in bis own constellation and sub of Chandra, who rules the 9th house to the 3rd bouse by constellation. Transit The death took place on a Saturday (ruled by lord of bhadaka sthana) when Moon was transiting the nakshatra of Rahu (Rahu substitutes for Kuja-Mangal, lord of 7/12 to 3 and also for Sani, bhadaka sthana adhipathi, being in Sani's constellal ion). Sani, lord of bhadaka sthana to step mother, was transiting in Simha in the 3rd bouse (longevity) to 3,in the constellation of Ketu in 12th house to 3 at birth. Guru (lord of 8 to 3) was transiting in ashtama (to 3) in the constellation of Sun, lord of 4 to 3 in trine—a favourable aspect—to Ketu and in sextile again a harmonious aspect to natal Rahu in houses 6 and 12

PROGRESSION Progressed Moon was in the bouse of longevity (3 to 3) opposing the natal position of Guru, dasa lord. Moon Progressed was in quincunx (sashta ashtama) aspect to Sukra's natal position, Sukra being lord of lagna to the 3rd bouse relative. Guru is lord of 8 to 3. Sun, by progression, was in semi sextile (30 degrees) aspect to radical Kuja (lord of 7/12 by sign to the 3rd bouse). Sun also squared the 3rd and 9th cusps (lagna and 7tb house respectively to stepmother). Prog. Sun was also in opposition to natal Neptune in the 4th house (to 3.) The 19

4th house determines the latter part of life and is a trine house to the bouses 8 and 12. and on this account some authors advocate consideration of the 4tb house al'o for the purpose of ascertaining longevity. Lord of 7/12 to 3. JCuji. was progressing in the constellation of Ketbu -who at birth stood in the 12th house to 3. Sukra, lordof stepmother's lagna as well as her 12th lord, and Budha (lord of marakasthana to 3) were progressing in the constellation of Sani,' lord of Trbadaka stbana. IV. FATHER REMARRIED ON 11—6—1949: Guru dasa, Ketu bhukti and Ketu Anthra Guru, as described previously, is lord of-2 to the 9th house and sub-lord of houses 2, 7 and 11 counted from the -9th house. It is in the constellation/sub of Knja who owns the 7th and, llth houses to the 9th by constellation. Guru is a powerful significator. Ketu is in Risbaba aspected by Guru, lord of 2 (to 9). Kethuis not conjoined with any planet in Risbaba, and so it acts as the agent of Sukra owning Risbaba which sign is on the cusp of the 7th bouse from the house of father. Therefore. Ke hu offers the results of the 2nd and 7tb houses. Transit On 11-6-1949, Moon was over the father's lagna aspecting the 7th bouse re. koned from the father's. Trans ling Moon was in trine or 120 degree aspect to Kuja (Mangal), constellation ruler of 7th and llth bouses from the 9tb, and in sextile or 60 degree aspect to the i' th house from the 9tb. Moon transited the constellation of Jyesbta, ruled by Budha who govern the 11th house from the 9th. Transiting Moon was in trine to Progressed Moon. On the same dav, Surya was coojoinel with the cusp of the 7th house (to 9) Kuja was tnnsiting in conjunction with radical Ketu Guru (lord of 2 to 9) was in transit in the 2nd

house (to 9) and Sukra lord of 7 (to 9lhV was transiting in the 7th bouse to 9th. Guru was in retrogression in transit in trine to Kethu and aspecting bhukti lord Kctu's natal place The transit of Gum: rebuts the oft-repeated assertion that a retrograde planet will not bestow beneficial results. A planet will offer whatever results in indicates when, by transit, it comes to a favourable position in the zodiac, and will not deny such results fimplv because it is retrograde. In Horary Astrology, however, retrogression of a p'anet by transit has a bearing in the sense that if such a planet is the significator oftbe matter in question, the fructification of (be matter will be a eferred till the planet takes direct motion. On 11-6-1949, Saturn was in Simba in Ketu's star and Guru's sub (Guru and Ketu are the joint rulers of dasa. bhukti and anthra). exactly squaring the natal position of Ketu according to the Western _ method. According to the Hindu system, Sani aspects (ByllsTeinlraspect)-the-signRishaba containing the father's 7tb houses Square is an inharmonious aspect being 90°, but as has often been observed in actual practice, an evil aspect of a planet denoting delay in matters of the 7th bouse and the llth house (to 9) as a result of its aspect to these houses at birth is conducive to good results Such a planet denies its natal indication, namelv delay in matters of marriage. Sani also t'ansited in quincunx (150 degrees or sasbtashtama) aspect to its radical position, and so it denies its birth indicatiou of delay in matrimonial matters. (Whenever a planet transits in unfavourable aspect to its radical oo-ition, it acts contrary to its natal indications. If, at birth, a planet was beneficial for certain affairs by reason of its situation etc, it will advance those affairs whenever it is in favourable aspect to its natal position. If, as a result of various considera'ions. a planet is indicative of malefic effects for certain nffairs of life, it becomes weak to translate such effects whenever, by transit, it adversely aspects its radical position). 21

agent of lord of 9 in the lagna. Chandra is also conjoined with Budha, Lord of 4,h house, Surya lord of 6th house and Sukra, lord of 8th house (4th house—Education; 6th house—scholarship; 8th house—scholarship as merit gift). Sani, anthra lord, is himself lord of the 11th house. Since Chandra and Sani are also significators of the 12th house matters, it' shows discomfort. When a native! prepares himself to succeedjn the examination with distinction he i, sure to bum .midnight oil and thus sleep is bound to be disturbed, the 12th house ruling bed comfort or sleep. Lord of 9, Kuja, was retrograding in the natal 9th house by transit, and lord of 4 Budha was transiting the natal 4th bouse. Guru and Sani were in trine tacach^ cther_ by transit in Rabu's constellation (Rahu acting for Mars on the cusp of lagna as lord of 9). Both Guru and Sani by transit were in trine to the natal position of Budha who lords the house of education (4th house).

Kuja (lord of constellation on cusps of 7 and 11 to the 9th) transited to a conjunction of Ketu's natal position, Ketu being bhukti and anthralord.

V.. Passed Matriculation securing first rank and scholarship June 1954. Guru dasa, Chandra Bhukti, Sani anthra. Firstly, the 1 Ith house cusp in the chart is conjointly ruled by Sani as thesign lord. Moon as the constellation lord and Guru as me sublord. During their conjoint period the native had his ambitions fulfilled and won great honour and esteem. He was awarded a gold medal and was rewarded with a scholarship. Guru is in 11 as lord pf 1/1D .in the ccnstellation/sub of Kuja (Mangal) is lagna cusp. Kuja also rules 9th house ; therefore success in education. The cusp of the 4th house is ruled by Budha and Guru as co-rulers of the sign and constellation, and both these planets are in Uth house, and this is a sure testimony of success in educational maticrs. Chandra, constellation ruler of the 11th house, is in the constellation of Rahu.

As mentioned before, a planet in retrogression by transit does not fail to bring the natal indications to the fore. My experience is that the benefic effects of a ' planet as revealed by its birth position are not at all denied when the planet is retrograde or direct in motion by transit, but it should transit in the zodiac in a favourable house and favourable nakshatra and in harmonious aspect to its natal position.

TWIN BIRTHS f LONGEVITY,) Br B. DANANSURIYA. Pallegama, Boptiya, Ceylon Twins were born to the wife of a Government (ervant. The second child lived only for six months. The first child although sickly is still living. The lagoa could fall in any Rasi, but the sub-lord of the Ascendant is the deciding factor in ones longevity. If the sub-lord of the Ascendant is the lord1 of 6, 8 or 12th hbuse, short life is promised^

Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn are moveable signs, the Bhadhakasthana is the 11th house counted from the Ascendant. The fixed signs are Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius, the Bhadhakasthana is the 9th house. The Bhadhakasthana for Gemini, Virgo, Saggittarius and Pisces, known as mutable signs- (Bhadliakasthana) is the 7th house counted from the Ascendant

If the sub-lord owns 1, 5, 9 or~10th house, long life is assured. If the sub-lord- of the Ascendant owns both groups i.e. 6, 8 or 12 houses and I, S, 9 or 10th houses middle life is promised. When the gub-lord owns other houses, judgement is to be made according to the sigmficators of Bhadhaka and Maraka houses. Mercury and Ketu are In the lourtb bouse, all in Sc rpio. In Uitara Kalamriiha, Kalidas elucidates that nodes offer the rciultr of the planets with which they are conjoined or by which they are aspected, if any, only when' there is no conjunctioa or no aspect do the no2es offer the re ults of the lords of the sign> where they were dspo sired. Thisnative b id won aprize in tbelottery. (His Ticket No. 02 2 2 20). It was oo 23—12—1969. He was ruaning II.id ha dasa, K;tu bhukti, Sani antbra at itm time. Ketu baakti slarted on 10—3—1969 and. ended on 7—i—-19/0. Ke u is in the c josttlUlion of Budha lord of 12. o

Budhi, Dasanatha, is lord of 12. Saiurn, is in 12th bhava. According to Hindu traditional astrology, toe occupant of a bhava, cne bhava lord and the planet conjoinca with the lord all. Wneu all tht thiee are connected with the 12tb nouse, how is it thai the native bad guns without pains ? Powerfully infiuence mat oaava. Here dani, Budha and Ke.u are strongly connected to 12th house. Look : Sub-lord is the deciding factcr. Ketu is in the sub of Venus lord of 11. _(Cpn.itella_tion lord is the owner of 12lli nouse means investment; gives money to buy the ticket. Sub-lord, lord of 11, piomises gain, profit, fulfilment of desite. Hence Ketu is a benefic ) Budha is in Mars sub. (Mars is a planet to compete, and be is lord of S to speculate and also 10.) 5th bouse gives the mind to speculate. 10th shows success. Hence Mercury dasa contributes to success in competition and gam in speculation. Saturn is in 12. It is in Saturn's star and Sub of Jupiter. Jupiter is lord of 6, Victory over enemies. It is conjoined with lord ol 2, Sun. Jupiter himselt is in 3 sub of lord of 11 and also in the constellation of Rahu, significator of 10 and 11 houses. Therefore, the conjoined period of Mercury, sub-period of Ketu and Sut-sub Saiurn gave him the fortune of winning a prize in the lottery on 23—12—1969. The amount was received during Mercury dasa, Ketu bhukti, Mercury antbra. Hence, one can note that the sub-lord decides one's fate; the constellation lord

Ketu is posited in Sun star and sub is ruled by Jupiter, who is Lord of 3rd. Mercury is posited io Mono star and sub of Rahu. who is a strong significator as stated above.

Rabu is aspected by Mercury, Lord of 12th and a Planet in the constellation of the Lord of the 10th i e.. Moon. Ketbu is in the sign owned by Venus. Ketu is aspected by Moon, Lord of the 10th house and by Saturn, a significator of 3rd and 12th house. As the significators are many, beneficial significators are to be selfbted, rejecting the useless ones. To select the bmeSc'ial significators, there are two methods , and both have to be scrutinized. (a) Note the ruling planets at the time of Judgement. (b) Note the Sub Lord of the significators. If the Sub Lord is one of the -significators, tbcn tbe planet ^deposited in such a sub is beneficial, otherwise not.

Ketu dasa, Mercury bhukti operate between .26—3—1971 and 23—3—1972 In this period Ketu anthra will start fro-n 6—5—1971 and ends on 7—6—1971. Thereafter Venus anthra operates upto 6—8—197L Venus is in Jupiter star and sub of Venus, who is a significator of 3rd honse and is Lagna Star Lord at the time of Judgment. So Venus may refiect the event in^ her Sub.Suh-period. S.in transits in Venus sign (The s ga occupied by Ketu at the time of birth) in Moon star (Lord of the constellation io which the bhukthinatha. Mercury is posited) between 25—5—71 and 8—6—71. Moon will be in Mars sign — Mercury star on 8th and 9th June 1971. Ketu will be in Moon sign — Mercury star. So I expect that the native must be transferred by 2nd week of June, 1971.

TRANSFER WHEN? By Jyotish Praveena P. R. MURALIDHARAN, B.E., CCivilJ A.M.I.C.E., D. Astrological Analysis: In a horoscope, the 3rd house signifies change of place and short journey, the 10th house shows employment, and the 12th house indicates life in a to;aly different environment. Therefore accjicling to Krisbnamuiti Padhdhati, one has to Judge the houses 3, 10 and 12 for transfer. The transfer will materialize, during Chi; conjoined period of the significators »f houses 3, 10 and 12 operates and when transit agrees.

J ATAK ALAN KARA (Continued from ike January issue) years. If lord of 8 is a malefic and in ll* he lives for a short period; if . it is conjoined with a benefic planet, then be will live long.

Sloka 23: The person will contract as maov marriages as are the number of planets in 7 or aspected by lord of 7. (Similar results to be guessed in the case of other relations taking the bouse signifying such relation to be the Ugna).

Sloka-27; The native is short lived if (1) lord of 8 in conjunction with a malefic is in 6 or 12 or (J) lords of 8 and 1 are in 6 or 12 together. Long life is indicated if (l)iord of 8 is in^ 8 it self_o r -(2)' 1 Ofd o f 8 from tbe-bhSVa occupied by Sani be in 8 from lagna. Lord of 8 in 2nd bbava either from the lagna or Sani makes one a thief and brings enmities.

Sloka 24: If the planets signifying the 7th bbava are in a kendra (1, 4, 7 or 10) or a Trikona (5, 9), if lords of 2 and 7 are in their_own_ rasis,_ thenative-hasonly•one"wile. Lord 'of'2~or7 along with Sukra in adushsthana (6, 8 or 12) afflicted by malefic planets (by conjunction or aspect) shows loss of wives, the number depending on the number of the malefics in question. 4

Sloka 28 : . Lords of 8 and 1 weak and in 8 and 6 (lord of 8 in 8 and ford of 1 in 6, of lord of 8 in 6 and lord of 1 in 8), causes death in battle. If they (lords of 8 and 1) be strong, victory. Lord of 4 in conjunction with Sukra, shows vehicular comfort. Lagna occupied by its lord, .lord of 4 and Chandra makes one victorious. Similarly, if lord of 4 conjoined with Guru occupies lagna.

Sloka 25: The wife does not conceive (I) if Surya is in 1 and Sani in 7 or (2) Surya and Sani being in 7, Chandra is in 10 unaspected by Guru. The wife is barren, if the 6th' bbava is occupied by its lord, Surya and Sani and Budha occupies 1 and aspect Chandra therefrom. There will be no conception to wife if Kuja and Sani be in 6 and in a watery sign (Jala rasi). (All these results will have to be predicted in the nativrty of a female by taking the 7th for lagna, lagna for 7th, 4tb for the 10th, and 12tb for the 6th.)

Sloka 29: • Honour from Government if lord of 9 is posited in lagna with Guru's aspect. Prosperity of all kinds is presaged if lord of 4 in 1 and lord of 9 both, aspect their respective houses (lord of 4 happening to be Kuja and occupying lagna can aspect the 4tb bbava by its 4tb aspect fully, but other planets have only three/fourths aspect). No luck is to be expected if lord of 4 goes to 8. Further, the native will be fickle-minded.

Sloka 26: Sukra, Guru and Budha .in 8 and in a Sthira rasi (Risbaba, Simba, Vrischika and Kumbha) burdens the native with bard and painful duties and makes him hardhearted. Lord of 8 in 11 makes him suffer in earlier years and bring happiness in later 17

WILL THE PROPOSED BUSINESS VENTURE WITH MY FRIEND BE SUCCESSFUL? B. DANANSURIYA: Pallegama, Bopitiya, Ceylon. The gentleman wants to go in to partnership business, so let us see first whether the partnership will be permanent. The 7th Cusp is in Taurus 0o-00', Venus Rasi, Sun's constellation, and Rahu Sub. The Sub Lord Rahu is in Moon's constellation, the occupant of the 12th bouse. Therefore the partnership will break. The questioner himself will move first and get seperated.

Venkatesa Pandila's JATAKA chandrika Bx VISAKHA (Continued from January 1972 issue) rate, but on the basis of the consideration' thai occupation of a house is stronger than lordship, the learned, author holds that mutual exchange of lords of 10 and 9 in the said.bouses or occupation of one of these bouses by the lord of. the other ensures highly auspicious results. In assessing the effects of the above combination, the principle enunciated in, stanza 13should not be lost sight of,.' namely that the lords of kona (trine) and kendra (quadrant) houses should not have any association with the lords of -other -houscs. Stanza fi -avers that 'lorffTship of houses 3, 6 and II is evil, and in stanza 21 association of - lords of 9 and 10 with lord of 8 (as well as 11) has not been considered auspicious. In various astrological works, houses 3, 6 and 11 (also 10) have been classified as 'upacbaya sthanas' (improving bouses), some of the authors holding that occupation of these houses is good but not rulership of these. This has caused confusion all round, because it is a well known axiom in Hindu traditional system that the effects of a bbava are given not only by the planet posited in the bouse but also by the planet con-' joined with the bbava lord. Indeed, the planet associating with the bbava lord is considered a shade stronger than even the occupant and the bbava lord to offer the bhava results. Then again, bouses 8 and 12 have almost, unanimously been condemned as harmful houses and their lordship has been termed inauspicious. These bouses are referred to as 'naasa sthanas* (destroying houses). Thus, houses 3, 6, 11,8 and 12 are among the evil or malefic houses and their lordship should not bs conducive for beneficial results. (As has

Stanza J5: Lords of the 9th and lOtb houses become yoga karakas and give auspicious results when they interchange their respective . bouses or when one of them is in the house of the other. Arising out of this sloka, there are three possible combinations, namely (i) lord of 9 and lord of 10 occupying houses 10 and 9 re>p:ctively, fit) lord of 9 in 10, and lord of 10 in a bouse other than 9, and (iii)—lord—of -10 -in--9-whiiedord of 9 Is placed in a house other than 10. The second and third, combinations are less powerful in effect than the first. The conjunction of these two lords has been treated in earlier stanzas (Stanzas 13 and 14)i la astrological parlance, the j 9th bouse is extolled as a benefic bouse as it signifies pootva punya—luck or merit brought over'from the past. It refers to Ishta < Devata (family deity), happiness in all undertakings, prosperity, virtue and spiritual inerit. It is a tbrikona or trine house, and according to stanza S a planet owning this house is a benefic (eveo though he may be malefic by nature). The other house, namely the 10th bouse, is the apex of the horoscope and is the, strongest of the four kendra houses (1, 4' 7 and 10).' In the West, they pay so much importance to this bouse that a planet occupying it is considered as the most elevated in the entire horoscope. Such a planet is fully powerful for fruitful results. The lordship of houses 9 and 10 should be enough for favourable results to ope25

been explained in the notes under some previous stanzas, every house has both aspects under its dominion—the so called' bcnefic affairs and the so called malefic affairs. No planet, malefic or benefic by nature or malefic or benefic by .lordship will offer only the results' of the bhava owned or the bhava occupied. There is many a modification arising out of such a planet's sign position, house occupation, naksha'ra and sub position and also iis combination with other planets, their aspect, etc. and no conclusion can be drawn simply from lordshtpofhouses alone) Krjshnamurti Padhdhati lays particular emphasis on the nakshatra position of the plrne s and says that ap.Ianet ina 'nakshatra is modified according ' to the nakshitra lard's strength by sign, house, and lordship. In view of this, the effectiveness of the Rajayoga can be realised only if the planets connected with the Rajayoga are placed in the nakshatras -of planets favourably situated. In any other case, the value of-tbe-yoza would 'be diminished and even nullified. Stanza 16: When the strong lord of Quadrant is related to the lord of a Trine, he bestows Raja Yoga. Stanzas 13 and 14 have dealt with the , conjunction of lords of quadrants (kendras1,4, 7 and 10) and trines (thiikonas-S and 9), and this stanza would therefore seem to apply to other reli'ionships between the quadrant and trine' lords. In traditional astrology, five kinds of sambbtnda between planets are recognized. They are (i) conjunction, (ii) interchange of houses, (iii) aspect, (4) kendra posiiioo from one another and (v) koaa position from one another. According to the learned author, two condidons must be fulfilled for the yoga to be r> a'i ;ed. F rst, the lord of the quadiant should be strong (by sign and house position) and Siuoocly he should be associated with the lord of 6 or 9 by one of the above rehtioaships. According to us, the lord of quadrant strong by sign and house 27

position can become good only if - be occupies the nakshatra of the Sth or 9th lord who, in turn, should be equally strong by sign and house position. Even if lord of quadrant occupies a strong house and sign and is aho related to a trine lord by one of the five kind or relationships enumerated above, be cannot bring about beneficial results if he is placed in the nakshatra of a planet inauspicious by nature and weak by occupation and Iotaship, or if the trine is itself weak by sign and house occupation, etc. Some commentators have stretched' this stanza to mean that where a kendra (quadrant) lord stands in between the lords of fhrikpnas (wines) he would prove to be a rajayogadhipathi. Rationally speaking, this interpretation is correct if the quadrant lord is related to the trine lords by reason of all of them configurated in the same sign with the quadrant lord .in between_the trine-lords:" Aocofding to traditional texts, papa and punya madhya stithi of the (fianets is taken into consideration in arriving at results, and on this consideration a planet between benefics is strong to offer ithe good effects of the bhava he owns. Applying this principle, a strongquadrant lord when hemmed in between trine lords should prove beneficial. Thus, if the quadrant lord is placed between trine lords occupying the same sign or posited in adjacent signs or the two signs on either side of the sign where the quadrant lord is posited, the yoga wouldfructify to the full extent but not in a case, say for a Simha lagna birth where Sani . occupies a quadrant, Kumbha, and Guru is in Dhanus as lord of 5 and Kuja is in 9 in Mesha as its lord. It is. needless to emphasize-that the planets in question should be so placed that the combination occurs in nakshatras ruled by planets favourable by occupation as well as ownership of houses. Stanza 17; The Major period intervening between the Major Periods of Yoga Karakas will be auspicious. Benefic

Kendra or angular bouses are stronger than the other bouses of the Then again, it is toq'general a statement horoscope, and when the nodes are in to say that the major period of a planet angular bouses in conjunction with lords would be auspicious simply because it of 5/9 they have abundant power to bring occurs between the major periods of yoga abdut the results of the associated planet, karaka planets, for the effects in a major lit bouses 5/9 when conjoined with lord period or maba dasa are to be judged on of a quadrant.i Rabu and Ketu give the the basis of many factors like the major same results in a little less proportion. lord's bouse lordship, sign and bouse occupation, naksbatra position, conjuncFor the Raja yoga to be effective, the tion with and aspect by other planets, and planets concerned should be favourably similarly the strength of the bhukti, antbra placed by naksbatra. lords etc. Stanza 20: Stanza 18: If lords of quadrant and trine combine, they give rise to Raja yoga. Planets malefic by owning bouses 3, The yoga is exceedingly powerful in 6, S, 11 and 12 but favourably case another lord of trine combines. connected to yoga, karaka planets 29

This is akin to Stanza 16. In Stanza 13, it has been averred that combination of lords of quadrant and trine assures Raja yoga. If a planet rules both trine and quadrant and is related or associated with another trine lord, or if a quadrant lord is joined to lords of S and 9, immense benefit will accrue. Lordship of houses .alone will not contribute to the realisation of the yoga mentioned here and unless the combination occurs from congenial signs, favourable house and from placement in nakshatras of planets who are favourable the yoga effect will only be feeble. Stanza 21: The Raja yoga arising as a result of union of lords of quadrant and trine is spoilt by the association of lords of S and 11 to the yoga karakas. This, in a way, resembles Stanza 13 where the association of kendra / kona lords with the lords of other houses was not held good. Here the author is more specific in his reference. According to Stanza S, the 11th house lordship is evil. The 8th house is one of the dus sthanas. So the association_qf_lor.ds..,of 8.and .11— "affecfs the value of the Raja yoga. Some authors interpret this stanza in a different sense. According to them, the them: developed here is that lord of a quadrant or trine should not also own 8 or 11, as in the case of Mesha and Mithuna. This argument would seem to run counter to the idea expressed in Stanza 14 where it was stated that the con. juactioa of lords of kendras and thrikonas would cause Raja yoga even though they may be otherwise evil which term would include ownership of an evil house also. Stanza 22; The 8th house from the lagna and the eighth from the 8th house are houses of longevity (life giving houses). The twelfth from these two resoective houses are houses of death (Maraka sthanas). It is geaeraily believed that our-life on earth or karma bhoomi is proportionate to the actions performed in previous existences, and we are born here to work

out our karma whereafter we attain moksha or take life again, depending upon our deeds in the present life. In classical literature, the 9lh house determines the quantum of punya accumulated by us; the 4th denotes the scope and extent of sukha (happiness) to be enjoyed. As soon as we have reaped the consequences of our past actions, the purpose for which we were born into this world comes to an end and life ceases. The twelfth house (vyaya sthana) indicates, among other things, loss, expenditure, negation etc. In Stanzi 72 of this work, the learned author advises us to judge the significations of each of the twelve bhavas as if they were so many lagnas, and following this suggestion we find that houses 8 and 3 are in twelfth to pupyasthana (9th) and sukhasthana (4th) respectively. If the 9th and 4th show the amount of punya and bhagya in our store, the twelfth houses to them, namely the 8th and the 3rd, show the limit up to which our life can go in order to experience, punya, bhagya and sukha. In other words, JjousesjB. and.3-show-longevity or length— of life in the natural scheme of the zodiac. Stanza 23: Of the ■ marakasthanas, the 2nd' house is stronger than the 7th. Planets posited in marakasthanas are stronger than lords of maraka sthanas, and planets conjoined with lords of marakasthanas are stronger than planets placed in maraka sthanas. While the above is the view of the learned author of the work, our own experience confirms that planets situated in the constellation of occupants .of marakasthanas are more powerful than the occupants themselves, and occupants of marakasthanas are stronger than the lords of marakasthanas or the planets situated in their constellations or the planets conjoined with the maraka planets. Furthermore, planets connected to bhadaka sthanas in any manner will also have to be taken into reckoning in our study of longevity. (to be Continued) 31

VERIFICATION OF KRISHNAMURTI PADHDHATI (horoscopy) By R. S. DOSHI. B.E. (Mech.), Dombivli (East). Tbe absolute requirements of KrisbnaiDurti Padhdbati for casting horoscope are (i) Place of Birth i.e. Longitude and Latitude of the place of Birth (ii) Date of Birth (iii)- Exact time of Birth (iv) Correct use of Ayanamsa i.e. Krishnamurti Ayanamsa. In many instances it is observed that Birth time recorded is either done by_ patents or Hpspital-Authorities "and it ■js-incOfrect or approximate. Therefore rectification of birth time is a must for casting horoscope as per Krishnamurti Padhdbati wherever predication is to be offered on Natal Charts. I. Rectification of Birth Time: The native informed me that he was born at 1-00 A.M. (I. s. t.) on 18/19th September 1935 at 15-27' N. and 75-05' E. Now let us proceed with the calculation of exact position of tbe Ascendant rising in the East at the locality for time and date furnished by the native. Calculations (i) First convert the Birth time from I. S T. to L. M.T. (Local Mean Time) by adding or deducting the time difference of 4 minutes/ degree longitudinal difference between 82°-30'E and longitude of Birth place if it happens to be Eastward of 82o-30' East or westward of 82°-30' West respectively, as Indian Standard Time(i s.T.) is icckoned from 82°-30'E longitude. 33

Therefore ; Birth time 1-00 A.M (i s.T.) = 1.00 — 0-29'-40" [ 82°-30' — 75°-05') X 4 ] = 0°-30'-20' L.M.T. (ii) Next find out difference between previous day's 5-30P.M. (I s.T.) and Birth time in (L.M.T.) which will be 7 hrs. 0 mts. and 20 sees, in the present case. (ui).-GalcoIktetire sidereal iime at Birth as follows: ' Hrs.

(iv) Refer Raphael's table of houses or Krisbnamurti's table of houses when it is ready (under print) and calculate exact position of .Ascendant in Sayana, corresponding to sidereal time of Birth and for the place of Birth i.e. latitude.

The native is bom at 1S°-27'N latitude tut in Raphael's table of houses there is no table of ascendant for 150-27'N latitude. However, it furnishes table of ascendents for 15° N latitude and 16° N latitude. Therefore calculate the ascendents for 15° N and 16° N latitude for sidereal time of Birth and take mean value of both, which will correspond to position of ascendent at IS°-30' latitude.

The sublord of 11 is Rahu. It is posited in the 3rd house, in the nakshatra of Moon and sub of Moon. Moon is an occupant of the loth bhava, an inimical house for the affairs influenced by the 11th house. It is in 'vyaya' sthana to the 11th house. The sublord of the 5th cusp is Moon.

Mbrcury is also in the 4th bhava which, being ^vraya' to the 5th matters, does not contribute to progeny. The lord of the 2nd

house is Mars, who also owns the lagna which is detrimental to the 2nd house. No planet is stationed in Mars nakshatras. Mars occupies the nakshatra of Venus in 5, but is in Rahu's sub, Rahu represents, by sign, Saturn who owns the 4th houseand, by constellation. Moon which has gone to the 10th house in the horary chart. The 5th bhava is occupied by Venus. Mars is in Venus nakshatra, but it is in sub of Rahu, a significator of 4 as Saturn's agent and of 10 as Moon's agent. The 5th lord is Jupiter, and Mercury in Jupiter's nakshatra is in the 4th bhava. The 11th house is unoccupied. Mercury, who is its lord, has gone to the 4th housewhich, as we have seen, is an inimical house to progeny ruled by the 5th house being in twelfth to it.

IIL Analysis The houses for employment are 2, 6 and 10. The 2nd has to do with finance, the 6th has relevance to service in return foe wages and the 10th house denotes professional skill, recognition, honour and merit. Whether his desire will be fulfilled or not, is to be gathered from the sublord of the 11th cusp. The 11th cusp sublord, Rahu, is in the star of Moon, lord of 2. Rahu is also conjoined with Mars, lord of 6 and 11. Rahu is deposited in the sign of Saturn, and so represents Saturn posited in 11. Rahu's situation in the sub of Sun shows it will be Government service. Hence, his desire to get into a GovernmeDt job will be fulfilled, Rahu being connected with houses 2, 6 and 11. Moon, at the time of judgement, was in the constellation of Mars and sub of Ketu. Mars is lord of 6 and 11; Ketu is in 2 in Moon's sign and aspected by Mars. The querent's mind is clearly reflected by the Moon's position. IV. When will he secure employment? At the time in Vimshottari dasa when the significators of houses 2, 6 and 10 conjointly rule. 2nd House : Occupant Ketu. None is in Ketu's constellations. The lord of 2nd house is Moon, Rahu is in Moon's constellation. 6th House : Occupant nil. Mars is the lord. Venus, Mars and Moon occupy the nakshatras of Mars. Rahu also represents Mars, being conjoined with it closely. 10th house : No occupant. Jupiter rules the 10th house. Mercury is posited in Jupiter's nakshatra. Thus, Ketu, Moon, Rahu, Mars, Venus, Mercury and Jupiter are arrived at to be the significators. When the majority of the planets in a horary chart are the significators of the matter in query, it is a favourable indication. Now, unless the ruling planets agree with the significators, there can be no hope of getting into employment. Those

among the ruling planets who agree with the significators are the most powerful portents and indicate the time of fructification of the event. V. What are the ruling planets? Day lord (Friday) Venus Moon sign lord (Thula) Venus Moon nakshatra lord fChitra) Mars Lagna sign • lord (Mithuna) Mercury Lagna nakshatra lord (Punarvasu) Jupiter —Jupiter-is-retr.ograde,_ and _Mercury is also in Jupiter's nakshatra. Venus and Mars only remain among the ruling planets, and Rahu represents Mars being conjoined with it. Hence Venus, Mars and Rahu are the indicators. The time of employment should be any one of the following periods: Mars dasa, Venus bhukti, Venus anthra OR 1 Mars dasa, Venus bhukti. Mars anthra OR Mars dasa, Venus bhukti, Rahu anthra As the ruling planets are all fast moving, I selected the dasa of Mars, bhukti of Venus and the anthra also of Venus operating between 30—1—1971 and 10—10—1971. In this anthra, Rahu sookshma which runs between 25—8—1971 and 5—9—1971 should be the period during which time the order of appointment must be issued and he should join service. I declared so. A few days back I got a letter from my friend which reads I am busy in my touring life as an Agricultural Officer. 1 have no time even to write you and I

am sorry not to have met you and con^. gtatulaled you since my appointment in September 1971 exactly as predicted by you. Hats off to your Astrology/' I muttered to myself; ''Long live Krishnamurti Padhdhati and long live its illustrious author and our late Guruji, Prof K. S. Krishnamurti in our minds and liearts." The imprints he left behind can never be erased and have become the stepswe follow. GOOD LUCK 72

IV. Is marriage promised: The 7th bouse is related to marriage, contracts, agreements, etc. It is conjointly governed by Saturn as the sign lord, Rahu as the constellation lord and Ketu as the sub-lord. Saturn occupies the 2nd house and is thus a powerful significator for marriage. Rahu is deposited in the constellation of Mars occupying the 2nd house and in the sub of Saturn, lord of 7 in 2. Rahu is also aspected by Mercury, lord of 2 and 11 Rahu is situated in Makara. sign of

.'Saturn, and not conjoined with any planet; so it is the agent of Saturn.

the llth house again by Rahu and Ketu. Rahu and Ketu have been discussed. Moon is conjoined with Jupiter, lord of sub on cusp of 2, and is in the constellation of kalatbrakaraka, Venus.

The sub-lord of the cusp of the 7th house is Ketu. Ketu is also sublord of the Ilth house cusp. It is found in the 12th house in the chart conjoined with the Jord of lagna. Sun, and lord 2/11, Mercury, all these three planets being in the constellation of lord of 2 and 11. There being no planet in the llth house, Ketu in the -constellation of the llth lord and conjoined with it, is a strong signiScator of that house. Moreover, Ketu is in the sub of Saturn, lord of 7 in 2. There are no planets in the constellation of Saturn, lord -of 7 in 2, but Rahu and Ketu occtipy Saturn's sub. Thus the planets Saturn, Rahu —and-Ketu -together-goveming-the.cusp of the 7th house are seen to be significators of houses 2. 7 and 11 concerned with marriage. House 2 hillng kutumbha or family and its expansion by marriage and progeny, house 7 being the, house of union by legal bondage, and house 11 being the house of permanent, long-lasting friendship and progeny. Therefore, marriage is very much promised.

VI When? Moon daja, Saturn bhukti according to Vimshottari system operates from 27—3—1972 to 27—10—1973. During this time, Kctu's anthra comes between 18—9—1972 and 21—10—1972, In this anthra, Rahu sookshama is most appropriate, because not only Rahu rules the constellation on the cusps of houses 7 and 11 but it is also placed in the constellation of Mars occupying 2 and is the only planet other than Ketu to occupy the sub uf~&uurh', '1bfa~of"7 lu 2. Sun will transit in Kanya (Virgo) owned by Mercury, lord of 2/1J in the constellation of" Moon, dasanatha, between the- 26th September and 10th October 1972. It touches the sub of Saturn on 2nd, 3rd and 4th of ctober 1972. Incidentally, it will also conjoin the natal position of Saturn, bhukti lord. At this time, Moon will transit in Makha nakshatra ruled by Ketu, anthra lord on 4—10—1972. Lord of 2, Mercury, who also rules house 11, will be in the constellation of Mars occupying 2 and sub of Saturn owning 7, and occupying 2 in the birth chart. Jupiter will transit the constellation of Ketu and sub of Rahu at that time, Ketu. and Rahu being anthra and sooksbama lords at that time. Venus, chief governor Toe marital affairs, will transit Ketu's constellation and sub of Mars in 2. Saturn, lord of 7, will transit the constellation of Mars in 2 and form an exact trine aspect with transiting Mercury, lord of 2/11. Other planets Uranus and Neptune transit agreeably.

Y. Significators for Marriage: Houses 2, 7 and 11 and Venus, kalathra karaka have to be examined. 2nd house: Occupant is Saturn. No planet in its constellations. Lord of 2 is Mercurjf. Sun, Mercury and Ketu are in its constellation, and of these Ketu alone occupies the sub of Saturn, lord of 7. in 2. Mars also occupies 2. Rahu alone occupies Mars constellation and Saturn siib. 7th house.- Unoccupied. Lord of Seventh is Saturn, and no planet in its constellation; Saturn is in 2, and so a strong significator. 1!th house: Again unoccupied. Its lord is Mercury, and we have seen Ketu to" be the strongest being in Mercury's constellation .and Saturn's sub. The 2nd cusp is ruled by Moon as the -constellation lord and Jupiter as the sublord; the 7th house by Rahu and Ketu as the •constellation and sub lords respectively; and

I venture to predict that the. marriage should come off on Wednesday October 4, 1972. The muhurtha will be belwcen 5 and 7 a. m. when Kanya lagna ascends at the place of marriage. Good Luck

ASTROLOGY AND AVAILABILITY OF LOAN Bp " J/othish Shiromani S. CHANNAKESHAVA REDDY, Challakere, Mysore State • Mr.'X', appro ached me on the night of Monday, January 24, 1971, with a problem. Hp was eager to know from me, astrologically ■what promise is held for the short term industrial loan for which he had mad an application. He was rather in a hurry for my answer as he was to obtain the title deeds and other documents and was expected to be ready _-with_the share amonnt toJhe Society. I asked him for a number between 1 and "249 and he readily said *16*. I worked out a •chart for the number given, which is reproduced here. The houses are calculated for ■the locality of judgement for the number, but the planetary positions refer to the time of judgement.

Sanskrit terms used to denote this house is 'Rina' meaning debt. In Horary Astrology, it has first 1o be deduced whethej-the matter in query will succeed or not, before going to the next step of finding the Paka kala' or the time of maturity'bf the event. As the subject of'loans' Js controlled by the 6th house, we have to "examine this house cauHously. TTie cusp of the house is together ruled by Saturn and Rahu. Saturn as the sign as well as the sub lord and Rahu as the constellation lord. The sub-lord, Saturn, is in lagna but in the constellation of Sun and sub of Mercury both posited,in the 9th house. As regards Rahu, it is also in the 9th house in Saturn's sign Makara and conjoined with Sun, lord of 5. Besides, Rahu is connected to Moon in the lagna by constellation. Saturn is also retrograde, we find the sub-lord of the 6th cusp having no connection with the matter in query, namely raising of a short-term industrial loan. The ruling planets at 9-55 P. M. on 24-1- 1972 at Challakere (14° 20' N., 76° 46' E.J are Sun fiord of the constellation on the Ascendant), Mercury (lord of sign Kanya rising on the AscendantJ Mars (h^oon rasi lordj, Sun(Moon constellation lord) and Moon ruling the day (Monday;. Ketu is stronger than Moon by occupation of Kataka owned by Moon. Up to 5—6—1972, Sun dasa Moon bhakti will operate, and both Sun and Moon who are among the ruling planets do not have any connected with the 6th house. On the basis of all the factors, I said that the loan now contemplated will not materialise, After a fortnight, he came and narrated how he had been disgusted with the non-availability of the loan in spite of his best efforts procure it. There may be number of method available in predictive astrology, but there is only one best method and that is Krishnamurti Padhdhati.

Will he regain his lost position? He is now running the dasa of Mars and bhukti of Saturn which commenced on 29—12—1971. The details of the anthras in this bhukti are as follows:Dasa, Bhukti Amthra From To Mars Saturn Saturn 29-12-1971 2- 3-72 Mercury 2- 3-1972 28- 4-72 Kelu 28- 4-1972 22- 5-72 Venus 22- 5-1972 28- 7-72 Sun 28- 7-1972 18- 8-72 Moon 18- 8-1972 22- 9-72 Mars 22—9*l972~~l5-V^Tf — Rahu 15-10-1972 15-12-72 ' Jupiter 15-12-1972 8- 2-73 Mars, as seen from the table furnished before, is in the constellation of Rahu and sub of Saturn. Rahu in the natal chart is placed in 11 as the agent of Saturn, lord of 10 who in turn is in the 10th house itself Satum is lord of 10 in the 10th house very near the cusp. So the dasa and bhukti lords are favourable. The ruling planets at time of judgement on 3—6—1972 also happen to be Satum and Mars, the day being Saturday, the rasi being Kumbha awned by Saturn, the nakshatra being Dhanista ruled by Mars, and the lagna being Vrischika governed by Mars in Saturn's constellation Anuradha. Since Rahu is now transiting in Saturn's sign Makara and also aspected by Mars by the 8th aspect, this anthra is the most powerful. When Rahu anthra runs between 15—10—1972 and 15—12—1972, the matter should take a favourable turn. In this period, when Saturn starts retrograding from 3—10—1972 and transits in Mars star and Rahu sub in Venus sign Rishaba, Mars transit in Thula in the nakshatra of Rahu and sub of Satura, Mercury (lord of 6) transits in the sign owned by Mars in the constellation governed, by Saturn and sub of Rahu, and Rahu transits io Dhanus in Venus constellation and in sextile aspect (60 degrees.) to its radical position, he should regain his lost position. The day will be Thursday the 23rd November 1972 when Moon transits in the sign of lord of 6 Budha and the constellation lorded by Rahu. This is the scientific explanation according to Krishnamurti Padhdhati. On the other hand, what have our. traditional astrologers 16 say?

Transits i; Transiting Moon squared the position of Sun on 30—5—1957 and 30—11—1968. Moon, by transit, was in the 11th house in the constellation of Rahu who was in the 12th house by transit; Moon was in the sub of Venus who was also in 12 by transit. Transiting Sun was in Mars naksliatra but in Sun sub. The reversion came when the ■dasa, bhukti and anthra lords were transiting iabhasthana(!j. 2) By transit, Saturn was in direct motion, but over the transiting position of Moon on 23—7—1962. 3) Transiting Mercury, lord of 6, was over the radical position of Saturn, in the constellation of Sun, lord of 5. Whenever Saturn was transiting in retrogression, the native only had beneficial effects and when it was direct by tansit he suffered! When the reversion came, Saturn was not ruling the period in any manner according to Vimshottari dasa. How far is retrograde Saturn evil in this particular case? It is for readers to judge. 15

One famous Astrological Correspondence Institute makes' the following forecast in regard to the same horoscope: " Sani is in a state of retrogression and hence becomes highly malefic. From the lOlh lord» Rahu occupies the 2nd house» commonly called maraka sthana or place of death. Instead of the native losing his job, he only suffered humiliation. The job is held intact since Sani is staying in his own house strongly'. ...... The native is at present having K.uja dasa. Guru bhukti. Guru bhukti will be over by March 1971. Guru is in the 9ch from Chandra lagna and 5th from Lagna. It occupies the 12th from the 6th house having reference to litigations. From the 6th lord, Budha, he is in Kendra. From Chandra lagna Guru in the 9th. As such Gum is quite favourable for the native in this respect. However, we have to look to the gochara movements. Sani will be in Mesha till August 1970^ After Sani leaves Mesha, thiog^wili'take a favourable shape,—We'can say that the native—will ""have his writ decided in his

favour and will be posted back to his original position in March—April 1971. By about August 1970, the present reversion, will be set aside." Will our traditional friends point out ^ single clear-out combination for reversion in service? 1 Have they any basis to go by Or are theilr predictions mere conjectures? What relevance has Maraka sthana in relation to ithe prtseot case? What is alP this mumboo-jumboo? "Krishnamurti Padhdhati". on the other hand offers clear, codified rules which goto help every one solve problems wheretraditional rules have been found wanting. The proof of the pudding, in the ultimate analysis, is in the eating, anAstrology in India can hope__to -recover from the disease of-stagnalibri that has been afflicting, -it"only it decides to rid itself of the manyfallacies and adopt sound, scientific theoriesarrived at after proper investigation and research.

C. Factors for consideration : In all matters concerning marriage, description of partner in life, state of married life, etc., houses 2,7 and 11. and Venus, chief governor for matrimony, have to be scrutinised. In the traditional scheme, reference is made only to the 7tb house which is called 'Kalatbra sthana*, but Krishnamurli

Mercury Rahu Ketbu Mercury Mars Saturn Sun Venus Mars

Padhdhati rightly emphasises the need to look at the 2ad house as well as the 11th house. The 7th house is the house of union and so refers to partnership, the 2nd house controls 'kulumbha' or family which expands with the addition of members as a result of marriage and child birth, and the 11th house presides over friendships of a lasting character. 3

D. Is marriage promised? The answer to this lies, according to Krishnamurti Padhdhati, in the 7th cusp, ■especially its sub.lord. The 7th cusp in the r^hart taken for illustration is ruled by Mars -as the sign lord, Kethu, as the constellation lord and the Moon as theiord of the sub-division in Kethu's star Aswini. Mars is in iagna in ra ot conjunction with Sun, lord of II, 'both being in the constellation of Jupiter who •occupies the 11th house.

At 9-45 P.M. ■ (1ST) on that day^ when I was seriously ■examining the time of marriage. I calculated the Ascendant. It fell in Mesha fAriesJ 1° - 48' ruled by Mars as the sign lord. Ketu as the constellation lord and Venus as the sub-lord. The 7th cusp fell on the oppo-site sign, i. e , in 1°—48' Thula fLibra) ruled by Venus as the sign lord. Mars as the constellation lord and Mercury as the sub3ord. Since the bhukti of Venus was in ope-

ration, I was looking for the anthra and sookshama which will bring about marriage. Mercury anthra comes first and is followed by Ketu's, 1 therefore selected Mercury's anthra and in that anthra the sookshama of Mars which was theiord of the Ascendant sign Mesha and lord of the constellation chitra on the cusp of the 7th house at that time. Mercury anthra in Venus bhukti in Moon Dasa operates between 30-3-1972 and 25-6-1972 and .in this period the sookshama of Mars comes between the 12th and the 18th May 1972. I wanted to verify my calculations according to the system of progression, and accordingly 1" prepared a pmgaassgd—chtft •ln —progression-aliay is TakenTor a year. Thus, a chart erected for the 27th day after birth and for the time of birth and the locality of birth is the progressed Horoscope showihg the indications between the 27th and the 28th anniversaries. In our case, 9-11-1944 4- 27 days (years in progressionj = 36-111944 or 6-12-1944. A chart drawn for 4-^8 AM (1ST) on 6-12-1944 for the latitude of Mysore reads the events that will come 'to pass between 9-11-1971 and 9-11-1972. All the tedious calculations involved in preparing a progressed chart can be avoided by following an easy method, known as the Perpetual Calculation Date method. The progressed positions of the planets, according to this system, are related not to birth time but Ito the time for which the daily positions of the planets are extracted in the ephemeris. The native in bur case was born at 4-j58 AM (1ST) on 9-II-1944 whichis 12hoiirs 32 minutes before 5-30 PM (1ST) on 9-1)1944 for which the sayana longitudes of the planets etc. are furnished in Krishnamurti's Ephemeris (Vol.II). As 24 hours Cor a dav) is to 12 months (a year), so is 12 hours 32 minutes to 6 months and 8 days, on the basis, of the following formula: 12 months 24 hours 1 months 2 hours 15 days 1 hour 15 days 60 minutes 7-1/2 days 30 minutes 1 day 4 minutes Adding this period of 6 months and 8 days 1o 9th November (which is the day and month of birth), we arrive at 17th May which is

From what has been explained in the course of this article, it is obvious that progression is a useful method of delineating events and can be usefully associated with the Vimshottari dasa system and transits, but the manner of reading the results by progression would seem to warrant modification in the manner dealt with in the article "Experiments with Krishnamurti Padhdhati" published in the December 1971 issue of this illustrious magazine.

ASPECTS BETWEEN LORDS OF HOUSES (Continued from July 1972 issue, page 37) fir BALA some way connected with bouses 2,6,10 and lord of lagna being also similarly connected, 'be conjoint period, according to the Vimsbottari Dasa system, of lords of 5 and 1 in good aspect between them, or the period when lords of 5 and lagna from harmonious aspect by progression (direction; will usher the entry of the native to one of the depart- . ments described before. If he is already connected to these as a vocation, the period jvjkLniark—an-upward-trend—in-his-carrer.— advancement, honour, reputation, etc. Tastes and fancies being under purview of the 5th bouse, the aspect in a favourable way from . lord of lagna to the 5th lord inclines to purchase of articles suited to one's tastes and fancies. Those connected with sports, outdoor games, indoor games, social or cultural troupes, etc., stand to gain by the favourable aspect between the lords of 1 and 5. They get honour, fame, reputation and elevation. In the case of sportsmen, this aspect confers every chance to lead a team and bring laurels. Luck will be in their favour. It is not uncommon to find sportsmen in business or trade, companies of repute, and even in service departments of Government like Railways, Border Security Force, Police force, etc. The Central and State Governments provide every fillip to sportsmen by employing them as a token of their appreciation and encouragement to " sport; big firms and banks employ them purely for their sporting abilities. Professional advancement and promotion and honour can be expected by such people whenever the lords of 5 and 1 in benefic aspect operate together by dasa system or progression Such persons'charts would show the connection of the Sth house with planets signifying 2, 6 and 10 bouses. To Kataka (Cancer) and Makara (Capricorn) lagnas, the lord of 5

Lord of Lagna id Good Aspect to Lord of 5. Tbc Stb boose shows strength in resist•oce; the lagna represents freedom from disease. So a benefic aspect between the lords of iagna and. the Stb bouse promise8 positive good health in early life; in general-' in any chart, it is an index of an exccllant state of physical health and well-being. The 5 th bouse deals with_foys,_dolls,_p)easure,_ holidays, etc. It also governs bobbies, sports and games of every sort and recreation. In youth, the native wiD have a good measure of enjoyment and excel in sport activities. In the traditional scheme, speculative dealings and enterprises, stocks, shares, etc. come under the purview of the 5th house, and a favouable aspect from the lord of lagna,. ruling success, is an indication of smooth sailing in matters . of speculation, etc., though in the ul timate analysis gain accrues ' to the other party represented by the 7th bouse, this aspect being a benefic one between lords of 11 and 7 reckoned from the 7tb house. (This will be the effect in general, but is liable to modification due to the disposition of the lords of 5 and I by sign/bouse, constellation and sub positions.) The fifth bouse has control over romance, love, licentiousness, courtship, etc. and a favourable aspect of lord of 1 to the 5th lord inclines to success in such matters. The 5tb bouse has to do with theatre, opera, drama, motion pictures, concerts, fairs, carnivals and amusements of evety kind. Professional entertainers, artists, painters, musicians. Composers, singers, directors, actors and performers, circus and stunt men. all come under the domain of the 5th house. If the chart points to a career in any one of these departments, the lord of 5 being in 9

also happens to be the lord of 10; to those born in [Rishaba (Taurus; and Vrischika (Scorpio) lagnas, the 2dd lord and the 5th lord are one and the same. These people will have ample opportunities to lead in their respective games, etc. when there is a favourable aspect* at birth, between the lord of 5 and the lord of lagna. Even if there is no such good natal aspect, ah aspect, by direction favourable, of lord of lagna on the lord of 5. or the lord of 5 on the lord of lagna» shows a period of success in sports, honour, etc. Contrary results will be enjoyed when the lords of 5 and 1 are in evil aspect. They may be forced out during such an aspect even though they may have been leading all along. The 5th house, in astrological parlance^ is said to rule 'Sruti' (Vedic knowledge;, 'Smriti' (traditional law), mantra upadasa (initiation of mantras), etc. The benefic aspect ^of-lord-oT-1 on lord-bf"5"at ^birth~re, therefore, conducive to gains in matters connected with the acquisition of knowledge ol vedic texts, etc. It is good for initiating mantras, peditation, prayer by incantations, chanting of vedic hymns, etc. If lord of 9 or II, or both, also form good aspect with the lord of 5, it is the best indication of success and siddhi (fulfilment). The 5th house governs all creative faculties as well as progeny, and this aspect lends support to the birth of offspring and prosperity to them. If the conjoint period of lords of 1 and 5 according to Vimshotfari Dasa system operates, or these lords come to foim benefic aspects by progression, it promises child birth. Even thi.se who had remained issucless yearsafter marriage will• have their prayers answered, and they wrll be fortunate and happy in this respect. Good aspect between lords of 1 and 5, in a male chart, denotes purchase of fancy articles and costly things to wife, such aspect being between lords of 7 and 11 counted from the kalathra sthana. The

7th house indicates fine arts, and an aspect favourably between lords of 7 and 11 counted from the 7th house inclines to gains to her in this matter. The 7th house is the house of union or agreement, and as the beneficial aspect of lord of 5 and 1 being an aspect between lords of 3 and 11 reckoned from the 11th house representing elder brother or sister, it is favourable to put an end to emity and strained relations with elder brother or sister; even, a bosom friend with whom there miy have been a little misunderstanding renews contacts again. At least temporarily, during the period of the aspect the relationship will be cordial. . If the benefic aspect between lord of 1 and 5 was in the natal chart, it is an excellant indication, but if there was no such benefic aspect at birth but such an aspect comes by direction, then during the directional aspect these results will operate. True, these "results' are- subject-to modification-by-other factors, and it would not be possible to treat of every chart and indicate the results in any text book or an article for the obvious reason that such treatment will have to run to volumes and volumes. Astrology is essentially, an art of blending the various infiuences in a discriminating manner. Reckoned from the 3rd house (younger brother, sister, cousin etc.) the aspect is between lords 3 and 11, showing their gains by book trade, publishing, correspondence and so on, and by undertaking short journeys, as for instance as a representative agent, etc. The younger brother, etc. may succeed in getting a telephone sanctioned for his use. The marriage of one*s elder brother or sister may be negotiated and settled, or his neighbour may become a business partner with the native (aspect between lords of 3 and 7 from the 11th house). For children ruled by the 5lh house, this is a benefic aspect between their 1st and 9th lords, denoting success in higher education, research, law, philosophy, contacts 11

-with foreigners, journeys to long distances and foreign countries, collaboration, etc. Being an aspect between lords of 8 and 12 •counted from the 6th house ruling maternal v uncle, domestic servants, domesticated or pet animals, it points to their ill-health •and, in some cases of bospitalisation.

During the conjoint period of lord of 6 and 1 in good aspect between them, all affairs influenced by the 6th house prosper. Servants will be appointed for assistance. Cattle and pets may be acquired. The native would succeed in taking up a job. This would be the time when he would rent out his house or a portion of it, also his If the native's mother is a caraer lands and other immovable properties. He woman, then this is a fine aspect assuring may employ some one to look after these lier of professional advancement, financial and manage it for him.

It is the bouse of worry or mental that has been afflicted him so long. At anguish caused by disease and illness or the same time, the lagna lord's benefic cxpences outweighing income, forcing the aspect on lord of 6 is an excellent testimony native to go in for borrowing to make both bis endsmeet for the time being.

Adhitya Hridhaya is proper. The lord of 1 forming good aspect with the lord of 6 indicates realisation of thoney that had been entangled so long ^nd receipt of accumulated arrears, or getting back property that had been lost by theft or articles lent like books, which can be verified by working out the transit of the planets. The above results will be more apparent in the case of those born in Kataka oc Simha lagna in such minor affairs as hand loans, books lent, etc. Good aspect of the lord of 1 to the lord of 6 also denotes good relationship . with maternal uncle, danger to servants, father's promotion and his stature in social circle going up. The nature's children gain in studies and they succeed in research, collaboration with foreign nationals, instutions etc.

If the lord of 1 or of 6 were to be ^lars, or if they are in any manner connected ■with Mars, surgeon's aid may be needed for the cure. Jupiter's beneficial aspect shows cure by a physician and prayers will give ■solace and mental strength that everything will come round.

Mithuna Lagna or Rasi:—Same as for Mesha Lagna. Kataka Lagna or Rasi:—Goddess Rajarajeswari, Parvathi, Uma, Indrakshi, and Surya owning the lltb house were classified as evil planets. But it is not understood bow Kujacameto be regarded as inauspicious. While it was the considered opinion of the learned author in stanza 22 that bouses 2 and 7 are death-inflicting houses, these houses do not find mention among the evil houses enumerated in stanza 5 where only houses 3, 6 and 11 were called bad. Then again. was made absolutely clear in stanza that malefic planets owning quadrant fkendra) houses giveiavQurable-resuH?r~afid"The statement in stanza 58 that Kuja is inauspicious runs counter to the theme treated in stanza 6. But, according to Krishnamurti Radhdhati, of course, Kuja as a strong 'significator of houses 2 and 7 is a death influence in its period, subperiod, etc. unless there is a more powerful planet in this respect, contrary to the statement in stanza 59 in Jataka Chandrika that Kuja will not cause death. Budha is lord of the 9th and the 12th houses. The 9th lordship is favourable as per the rule contained in stanza 5, As for Budha's lordship of the 12lh house, the author's view seems to be that his results will, vary according to his conjunction with other, house lords and the houses they occupy (stanza 7). There is no allusion, in Jataka Chandrika to the influences of Sukra and Chandra while, discussing about the Thula lagna. Stanza 8 clarifies that lord of 8 owning also the lagna becomes a benefic, and in this backround Sukra who has sway over houses I and 8 may be assumed to be a benefic, though there is no express mention to this effect in Jataka Chandrika. As for Moon, although there is ho specific reference to her role# she has obviously to be classed as a benefic as she has domain over the most powerful kendra house namely, the 10th. ]n stanza 59, the learned author has emphasized the good nature of the combination of Chandra and Budha. There is. again, a striking omission regarding how the combination of Sani and Budha will work. Sani is lord of a kendra as well as a kona and, according to stanza 20, the union of lordship of a kendra and a kona house should be execellent. And, following the principle stated in stanza 16, the association of a powerful Sani with Budha, lord of 27

malefic in Hindu Astrology and he does no^ get kendradhipathya dosha by owning the 10th house, but acquires great bcnefic power. According to stanza 61, their combination is productive of excellent results. This is in conformity with the assertion made in stanzas ^4 and 16 treated previously that the combination of the lords of kendras and trikonas is immensly beneficial. There is no mention about Mars in the treatement of Vrischika lagna. which appears to be deliberate. While talking ofJRUshaba—■ lagna, (he—learned-author'df Jataka ChanTlfika called Sukra, lord of 1 and 6 as evil. On the same analogy. Kuja ruling 1 and 6 for Vrischika lagna would also have to be called so, but no such statement occurs in the text. Strictly applying stanza 6, Sukra owning a kendra as a natural benefic is evil and she becomes doubly so to Rishaba lagna as she also owns the 6th house. But Mars (Kuja) being a natural malefic becomes beneficial by virtue of his kendra lordship to Vrischika lagna and even though Kuja also rules the 6th house he should still prove to be good. Again. Sukra as lord of 7 to Vrischika lagna has been included among the evil planets, but Kuja was not so included for Rishaba lagna. In the former case, Sukra as lord of 7 is evil because he is a benefic by nature; in the latter case, Kuja as lord of 7 is auspicious because he is a natural malefic. In Stanza 61, it has been stated that Guru is favourable perhaps because of his dominion over the 5th house, but for Rishaba lagna, Budha owning a trikona, namely Che 5tb house, should, on the same analogy, be also counted as a benefic. Budha was not so included. This difference in approach does not appear to be sound and rational. In stanza 61, the author adverted only to the combination of Surya and Chandra while speaking of Rajayoga effects. Chandra, lord of a trikona, iu combination with Kuja, lord of 1, and Surya. lord of 10, in combination with Guru, lord of 5, would also seem to be quite powerful to produce rajayoga and this would be in accord with the principle propounded in previous stanzas but they have been left out of account in the author^ treatment. While agreeing that Budha and Sukra are inauspicious for Vrischika lagna, Kalidasa

a trikona, should be produbtive of best results. Similarly, the association of Sani •with Chandra would also be highly favourable. There is, however, no mention of this combination too in the summary on Thula lagna in Jataka Chandrika, In stanza 62, the view is held that Guru and other evil planets have the power of inflicting death when endowed with the • power to kill, but in stanza 59 Kuja was held •to be a non-killer. There is a uniform theme in regard to almost all lagnas according to which the planet owning the 2ad house is said not to cause death himself. This_ aspect,_wiU•bc discnsscd subsequently. " In dealing with Thula lagna. Kalidasa in Uttara Kalamrita is emphatic that Kuja will prove to be a maraka and cause death, but Guru and Surya will not bring about the end of life. This is diametrically opposite to the statement found in Jataka Chandrika. In Bhavartha Ratnagara, the author holds the same view as that contained in Jataka Chandrika in record to Kuja, namely that he will not cause death bimeself, but bis assessment of Guru runs counter to the view of the author of Jataka Chandrika. According to the author of Bhavartha Ratnakara. Guru would produce good results because the houses lie owns are improving houses or upachaya sthanas. Stanza 61 For Vrisichika lagna, Budha, Sukra and Sani are evil. Guru is a benefic. Surya "and Chandra, when combined, cause Rajayoga. Stanza 62 Guru does hot become a maraka, but Sukra and Budba are evil in this respect^ Bearing in mind the classification contained in stanza 5, Budha owning the 11th house and Sani governing the 3rd. house become evil. Sukra cannot be termed evil on the basis of the statement in the above stanza. But Sukra is lord of the maraka sthana, 7th house, and the 12th house whi.h is termed evil in stanza 18. She also gets kendradhipathya dosha. Guru is good because he owns a trikona, namely the 5th. Chandra controls the 9th bouse, a trikona, and Surya has away over the 10th, the most powerful kendra. Surya is eoosidered as a natural 29

specifically says in Uttara Kalamritam that .Kuja.is also a malefic. There does not seem to be much force that Kuja is evil for VrischiJca lag^na, for house 1 and 6 are among very favourable houses for material welfare and advancement.

ding to Krishnamurti Padhdhati, death need not necessarily be caused by the lords of 2 or 7. but planets occupying their constellations or the constellations of occupants of 2 or 7 will in their conjoint period, bring life to its end. In the face of his own assertion regarding the more powerful influence of the 2nd house than the 7th house in relation to death, it is not understood on what grounds and reasoning he makes a positive statement each time when dealing with the different lagnas that the lord of 2 will not be a death inflictor himself. This is not borne out in actual experience. Planets owning death houses are certain death influences and if they occupy these houses or conjoin with other death inflict ingp la nets they-become-morepowerful to put an end to life-. Only the planets which are situated in their constellations are more evil than they themselves.

Before we come to a close, we would refer to the line of reasoning running uniformly through the text of Jataka Chandrika regarding the planets, role in regard to death by their lordship. With reference to Mesha lagna, it was said that Sukra, lord of 2 and 7, will not kill even though he has death inflicting powers. For Rishaba lagna. no allusion is made to Budha, lord of 2, a maraka „sthana.—Eor_Mithnna Jagaa,- it-was.said that Chandra will not kill, even if invested with xnaraka power in addition to her lordship of 2, For Kataka lagna, Surya was similarly stated to be free from the power to -cause death. For Thula lagna, Kuja even though he rules 2 and 7 was not counted as a death influence, and similarly for Vrischika iagna. Guru lord of 2 was not reckoned to be a death inflictor. Death is a phenomenon which overtakes every one of us, and occurs, according to our ancient astrological texts, ■at the exact time when longevity determined previously for us on the basis of karma, good and bad, performed in a previous existence, comes to an end. Such time is ascertained by a careful study of the signification of the planets having relevance to houses 2 and 7, which arc the twelfth to 3 and 8 denoting longevity, bhadakasthadas.' etc. In stanza 22, the author of Jataka Chandrika referred to the houses in twelfth to the 8th and 3rd as houses of death, that is having power to inflict death. In the subsequent stanza he further elucidated that the 2nd house is evenstronger in this respect than the 7th. Of ■course, he also added that planets occupying 2 or 7 are more powerful than their lords, and that planets in conjunction with lords of 2 or 7 are even more powerful than the planets in occupation of 2 or 7. While planets conjoined with lords of 2 or 7 of planets occupying 2 or 7 may be powerful than their lords, it cannot be safely assumed that planets owning 2 or 7 cannot bring about the end whenever their periods operate in the "Vimshottari or other dasa system. Even accor

Jataka Chandrika, or the Moonlight to Astrology, is one of the few treasure books on the sublime science of Astrology now available to us, and it purports to explain the principles with reference to nakshatra dasa in a manner consistent with the views expounded by Maharshi Parasara. It appears to have been completed around the 12th century A. D. when Astrology flourished all over India. While it is inconceivable that the authors of these ancient works had any motives in passing on to their disciples false principles of the science, there can be no denying the fact that many of the texts have undergone ill-considered alterations and interpolations and the entire knowledge possessed by the ancient teachers has riot been made available to us. In this context, it would appear necessary to approach these texts in a discriminating manner rather than take them to be the equivalent of scripture to be followed in a rigid, blind way. The spirit of enquiry can alone lead us to truth and it was in this spirit that our late lamented Guruji, Prot. Krishnamurti, approached the subject and gave to us his immortal work "Krishnamurti Padhdhati". There is the crying need to codify, modify, improve, add and render the subject of astrology simple. In most of the ancient texts, the grain and the chafe are mixed together and it is entirely for us to distinguish and separate them for our own gain.

HOW I PREDICTED THE OUTCOME OF A PARLIAMENTARY BYE-ELECTION ? By Y. S. N. MURTHY Mr. B. Mallanna, who contested the byeelection to the Lok Sabha from the Koraput Parliamentary Constituency in Orissa State on behalf of the Swatantra Party, walked into our institution on the 11 th JFebxuary1972. The election—had—already been held wben'ire'can^ and the counting of votes was in progress. He spent some time engaging us in pleasent conversation and after a while turned to the topic that was the talk of the town then. He was keen to know what light astrology throws on the outcome of the contest. He was not excited nor was he unduly worried. In the usual way. I asked him for a number between 1 and 249. He said 4,242,^ I began to calculate the chart for the query. The number "242", in Krishnamu rti Padhdhati terminology, refers to the part of the zodiac falling in Meena in Revathi constellation in Ketu's sub, namely 18o-33'-20". For this lagna, the other houses are to be calculated with the help of Table of Houses for the place where the query is judged. The positions of the planets, however, are noted for the time of judgement and inserted in the chart and then the chart is studied. At this stage, I would digress a little. Horary Astrology, or Prasna Sastra,-is not something new. It is an important branch of astrological science and bas been in use from the earliest times, in India as in other countries of the world. Classical texts treat of a number of methods for dealing with prasnas. While it is highly probable that our ancestors had a deep understanding and knowledge of the subject, the workstto which we now have access do not appear to convey all their knowledge, leading ns to believe that these were interpolated texts or distortions of the original works.

has filled the gap in this respect and has presented a simple. lucid and novel method of determining the nature of the queries—and theii^utcome.-—^-tbirsystem, the constcllalions and their sub-divisions play an important role. The zodiac is divided into 249 distinct divisions, each division being under the influence of two or more planets as sign frasi) lord, constellation and sub-lord. Needless to say, it is more specific than the system which uses only 12 divisions or the system which uses 108 divisions. Why? Suppose a person who comes with a query says '2\ it would refer to the sign Rishaba (Taurus), extending from 0° to 30°, and suppose the planet ruling the lagna, that is Venus, also is stationed in Rishaba. The lord of the lagna is very important, according to the traditional scheme, for determining the outcome of the query, and can the answer be the same whether Venus is in the 1st degree or the 5th degree or the 11th degree or the I7th degree or the 24th degree? How are we to relate Venus to the lagna? Are we to take it as occupying, the lagna or are wc to treat it as in twelfth to it? Is not the house position of the planets important? The system based on 108 divisions is' more solid, but even according to this system there are drawbacks. If, for instance, the number given is'91, it refers to the part of the zodiac lying between 26°—40' in Dhanus (Sagittarius) and 30° Dhanus (or 0* Makara). Jupiter and Sun rule this part as the sign and -constellation lords respectively. According to the Krishnamurti Fadhdhati. this part is ruled by four planets as lord of the sub-division of the nakshatra Uttarasbada, namely the Sun, Moon, Mars and Rabu. The Sun's influence is between 26°—40' and 27°—20': Moon's, between 27°—20' and 28°—26,--40"; Mars', between 28°—26'—40" and 29°—13'—20"; and Rahu's, between 29°—13'—20" and the end of the sign Dhanus. Is not the advantage of using 249 divisions in preference to 108 division or 12 divisions or any other evident? Then again, according to Krishnamurti Padbdhati, the points of commencement of the houses (bhavas), called cusps, have to be determined for the latitude of the place using a scientific Table of Houses. The rough and

The fact remains that the forecasts given on the basis of the rules obtaining in these texts go palpably wrong. Not only they are not precise, but in numerous cases the results run quite contrary to the assumptions. The western system, -too, falls far short of expectation. Our late Guruji, Prof Krishaamurti, 33

ready method of adding to, the lagna 30° successively to get the other house cusps is of no avail. The constellations and sub-divisions held by the planets are important, as also the constellations and sub-divisions on the cusps of the various houses. There is yet another important point. The normal practice in the western countries and even in India is to note the Ascendant rising at the time of query and pass judgement on the basis of the strength, etc. of the lord of the lagna. In Krisbnamurti Padhdhaii, due importance is given to the lagna. Not only is the lagaa lord taken as a ruling planet, the lord ruling the constellation on the lagna is also considered along with the lord of the constellation tenanted by the Moon, the lord of the sub where Moon was posited, the lord of the Moon Rasi and the lord of the week day. Even so, the Padhdhati advocates the —use-ef fmng-the4agaa-for.the_qiiery_Qia Jhe. basis of a number between *1' and *249'. Guruji's explanation on this point was clear. On a number of occasions, almost frequently, he had many persons coming to him at a time with the same problem. His answer would have to be the same if he were to proceed purely on the basis" of the time of their coming. He used to cite an interesting instance in early years, where his predictions to three people who came to him together, all friends, to confront him with the problem of their profession, were the same. One of. them got promotion but actually faced reversion; in the second case, the promotion got delayed beyond the date predicted; and in the third case the promotion came off as predicted. Our late Guruji is reported to have given a convincing reply to a gentleman in doubt regarding the utility of asking a number. 'Tf a man is destined to come at a time when the lagna and the planets at ttie time have relevance to his query, he is also destined to give only that number for fixing up the lagna which will have equal relevance to his query. While three men can come to me at a certain time which will have relevance to the problem of their profession, these three men are more likely to give three different numbers that will go to indicate three different answers rather than the possibility of all of them giving the same number, 1 am not belittling the importance of the lagna, however, for I take the lagna sign lord and lagna constellation lord as the most important ruling planets." Nothing more by way of explanation is needed in justification of the

method of asking a number between T and '249'. Coming back te the problem under examination, the details regarding the number, date and place are recounted again:N umber Time Date Place Ayanamsa

Should the sub-lord of the said cusp be a significator of houses 1,2,3,6,10 and 11, it would be favourable for the fulfilment of desire, provided of course he is also placed in favourable constellation. Now, let us see what promise he holds in the present case. The llth sub lord here is the Moon. She is the lord of the 5 tb house and is posited in the 10th house. At a glance, this position 34

would tempt us to pass a favourable judgement. Is the Moon really favourable by constellation? The Moon is deposited in the constellation of the Sun. By virtue of his lordship. Sun is favourable to the querent, but he is unfavourably placed in the 12th house in the constellation of Guru in 9, unfavourable again from the point of view of success in election contest. Moreover, Jupiter, lord of the lagna and the 10th, has gone to the 9th house; lord of 11, Saturn, who is. also lord of 12, was in the constellation of Sun in 12 and also aspecting the 12th house. Judging the strength of the quercnt's competitor in the field, who is denoted by the 7th house from the lagna, we find that the 5th cusp, which is the eleventh from the 7th house, is ruled by the Moon as the lord

of sub. As discussed in the foregoing, the Moon occupies the constellation of the Sun, who as lord of 12 to the 7th house occupies a favourable house, namely the 6ih house to the 7th, showing success to him. Mercury, who lords the ist and the 10th houses to the 7th house, is situated in the 6th house, a favourable house to the person signified by the 7th house. Lord of 11 to the 7th house, namely the Moon, is stationed in the star of a planet in 6. After weighing all the factors, I did not have any hope of the querent coming out successful. The result was announced over the radio on the 13th February 1972. The querent, as predicted, lost the battle by thousands of votes. GOOD LOCK!

YOUR DOUBTS RESOLVED Br JyothJsh Vlsharadh K. GANAPATH1 Mr. K. Nath, Bombay, writes:"Sir, I have been in the dark all along and I did not know of the new method of predicting events according to the stellar system till I came across a copy of your magazine in the railway bookstall where I had gone to fetch a copy of the latest issue of another astrological magazine. My curiosity grew as I went through your June and July 1972 issues. 1 have a question to ask. What, according tolhc stellar *THeory7 is'imporiancE' of the sign lord, star lord and sub-lord of the Ascendant?" In the various text books, we are told that the character of a person is deduced from the lagna, the sign on which the lagna falls, the planet ruling the lagna sign and the planet the disposes of the lagna lord, the planet or planets posited in.lagna, the planet owning the navamsa occupied by the lagna lord and, lastly, the planets aspecting the lagna. The lagna also has. under its domain^ the physical body; its appearance, form, shape and constitution; health and vitality; status and position in society, success or failure in all undertakings in general, etc. Some works also advocate delineation of individual characteristics from the constellation transited by the Moon at the time of birth. The rules laid down in the traditional texts are cumbersome. According to the stellar system stated in Krishnamurti Padhdbati, the planets governing the degree on the cusp of the lagna as the sign, nakshatra and sub lords affect all the affairs that come under the purview of the lagna. How they do so, depends upon their lordship, occupation (sign as well as house), their aspect to the lagna, and so on. According to this method, their influence is more significant than those of the planets associated with the lagna sign by ownership, association, aspect, etc. The planet' ruling the sub-division of the nakshatra on the cusp of the lagna is. truly speaking, more important than the planet lording the navamsa occupied by the lagna lord or the navamsa where the lagna fell.

Suppose Poorvaphalguni (Pooram) is the constellalion and Simha is the sign on the lagna. There is ample treatment of the induence of Simha on the lagna in various works and also of the Sun who governs it. There arc very few descriptions, however, of the effects of births in the various nakshatras, but we have it distinctly stated in some classical works that Poorvaphalguni nakshatra shows a stout appearance* attraction towards members of the opposite sex, fondness for drinking, dance, music, etc., fondness "for violent exercises, IitiEZixgeliifieoce fiic. These are general indications and cannot be taken to apply in every detail to all born at the time when Poorvaphalguni nakshatra was on the cusp of the lagna. There arc, according to our knowledge, many among them who have sterling character and many who do not look at any member of the opposite sex other than their life mate. The courage, if any, they had had before marriage had come to an end as soon as they were tied to a talkative, quarrelsome, overbearing and nagging wife! TTiere are, also, shy but true persons who threw an attractive glance at a member of the opposite sex for the first time only at the time of their marriage and that too only at the person to whom they tied the sacred thread. Undoubtly,. there will also be others who revel in romance and some others who like the opposite sex merely for the sake of company and convenience. So we find, in practical

If Guru becomes the sub-lord on the cusp of the lagna, it inclines to a goodnatured, kindly disposition, a nature which . breathes cordiality, honour and uprightness. It indicates Jove of pleasure, particularly out-doors, travel, stotit appearance especially in later years, good health, fortune, successful culmination of efforts. If Cunt as the sub lord of the lagna is afflicted, there is a strong tendency to self-indulgence.. In Kataka, he makes the native almost a god of his stomach with the inevitable result that, in course of time, he becomes excessively stout Enlargement of lever results and, as a consequence, he is subjected to a sickness of a serious nature. In Dhanus, he becomes an inveterate gambler who is not shy of stacking his soul on the toss of a coin. In Vrischika, -he- hernmes a sensualist nf. the worst type and in Meena he is an im-nrahl,- TTniWVard There is also suffering due to corruption of the blood system. If the Sun is the sub-lord, he gives vitality, immunity and recuperative powers,' dignity, strength of will and courage, a keen sense of honour and responsibility making the native reliable, honest' and a hater of anything small, underhanded or tricky. He is staunch in friendship, steadfast in love and generous even to his adversaries. The person scorns subordination and loves to lead others. But Sun is afflicted ' the chances of a successful life are slim. In such a situation he is pompous, overbearing, domineering, arrogant and undependable. He regards his promises as pie-crusts made to be broken. If Venus (Sukra) is the sub-lord, it gives an amiable sympathetic, kind and docile

Prayei experience, people of distinct characteristics -^thotiah-all'. of-ihem.Jtate Ponrvaphaleuni on ■the lagna. Which factor differentiates them?' If Kiishnamurti Padhdhati is applied, the answer is apparent. It is the sub-division in the nakshatra which clarifies this. If the sub is ruled by an evil planet, say Saturn and it is afflicted in the horoscope, it shows a ■secretive nature, distruct of others, a gloomy •disposition and a person inclined to seek isolation. It causes poor health, liability to colds, bruises to the head. If Saturn is afflicted as sub-lord of the lagna and is ■situated in Simha, it shows poor circulation; in Vrischika, constipation; in Kataka, poor -digestion and in Thula obstruction of the kidneys, renal calculi and other urinary -disorders. If Saturn is well posited, it shows real character, a patient disposition, success through persistence, self-control and restraint, power of organization, wonderful .capacity to work and success eventually but . slowly. Saturn shows a thin, emaciated person generally. If Kuja (Mars) is the sub-lord of the lagna the native is bold, free, frank and fearless. He will be haughty, fond of fights, .and egotistic, if afflicted; if well posited, it indicates an enterprisnig, energetic, courageous and a determined person who breaks through all barriers through sheer and audacity. It strengthens the constitution, gives muscular power and endurance, but makes the person rash, impulsive and, sometimes, foolhardy. If Kuja is connected to Sukra in any manner, it denotes diseases caused by indulgence of -the passional nature or excessive drinking ■of alcoholic spirits.

Her Excellency Thirumathi Shah was Garlanded by Soundaram Rajan nature,. friendly outlook. love of pleasure, -_fbndiiess_for- fine-am, poel ry. music, singing,dancing, drama and so on. Sukra being the planet of peace, shows a compromising spirit. If Budha is the lord of the sub on the cusp of the lagna, it shows a restless, alert, sharp and quick-witted person. The native has a comprehensive, discriminating outlook upon life. Nothing appeals to him so much as change, and anything that is new appeals to him and he likes to investigate. Mercury 'denotes a roving, changeful, nervous and excitable character. If Chandra chances to the sub-lord of the lagna, the person is timid, inconstant, magnetic and romantic. It endows the native with a sensitive, imaginative, intuitive, indofent receptive, restless and tenacious nature. They are easy going and dreamy and are adepts as architects of air castles that never materialize or assume concrete shape.

If Chandra is afflicted, the native isfussy, inverted, unreliable and touchy. Itshows sickness in infancy and uncertain, health in later years. If Rahu or Ketu happen to be the sub lord, the result will depend upon their situation in the chart by occupation, association and aspect. It/ is not uncommon to find twins br triplets born within a few minutes interval of time. Their lagna is in the same sign, and in the same star. Will they be alike, in every respect? Will not the degree and minute constituting the ascendant change within the variation of four minutes or so?' If the planet ruling the sub-division of the nakshatra varies from minute to minute of time, sixrelyjU. has—to ..be- -taken-as-a more— reliable indicator of the diverse natures between the twins. Hence, note where the lagna falls. Judge alt about the lagna taking the planets ruling the sign, star and the sub into consideration, lu the discussion here, we emphasised the aspect of the SUE with a view to draw pointed attention to the magnitude of the sub-lord's influence according to bis nature, lordship of house and occupation. It should not be assumed from this that the star on the lagna or the sign on the lagna or the planets connected to it are not of any consequence. All the fa:tors will have to be considered together, only the sub-lord is the most important and distinct factor for reasons explained above. The significations of the sign and the constellation lords are to be read with reference to the sign and house occupied and the aspect they told, to the part of the zodiac constituting the lagna.
