HINDU PREDICTIVE ASTROLOGY

Introduction Astrology is the most aoaeot of aU sciences. It is not a science like Matbematics, Botany. Zoology. Cbemistry or Pbysic., the study 0 r whicb requires strict adherence to the world's CODventionalities of commonsense reasooing and ordi· nary Jogic. Astrology comprehends something higber. mysterious and suhtle. It is not a mere appeal to tbe rea.oning faculty of man but it is an appeal to his hidden powers and capacities. Astrological predictions canoot be simply based upon .trict hypothetical principles or vague guesses but a certain amount of intuitive cap.city must be brought to bear upon sucb attempts. The various rules given for future 'predictions are merely intended for our guidance and we must Jubstaotiate them by recour&e to the study and examination of a large Dumber of practical horoscopes. CoUect, the horoscopes of a Dumber of people of all grades, ranks. temperaments and peculiarities and study tbem in the ligbt of the principles enumerated io tbe following pages and tben you will really get some precious intellectual food ror your mental refreshment and you will be doubtless conv!lii,:cd that astrology is a practical and useful science. Astrology relies more upon the skill and intuitive capacities of the interpreter than upon complicated rulc.. It gives a sketch of life. It is a mirror in wbich one', own figure is clearly reftected . Astrology comprehends tbe manifestation of a sort of relation ship among all objects in nature, animal, vegetAble and mincral. It record. tbe interaction of inftucoces

CHAPTER

I

Necessity for the Study of Astrology Various theories have been set up to discover the influen ces of planets upon the terrestrial phenomena. While some people admit th e intimate relatio nship tbat exists betwixt tbe move· ments of tbose "mysterious intelligences" in tbe beavens and tbe fortunes and misfortunes of men, rise and fall of Empires, ebb and flow of human passions and the regeneration and degeneration of Arts, Sciences, Literature and Philosophy, there are others who always deny tbe existence of any sort of connection between tbe stars 'a nd the inhabitants of this eartb. This attitude is due to the fact that they do not approach the subject with an unbiassed and unprejudiced mind. Dispassio# nate enquiry alone can enable one to appreciate the truth ~hind any branch of knowledge . In any field o f enquiry. the student will find it useful to remember. it is a major error o f the intellect to attempt to oppose prejudices based on Q priori arguments to tbe evidence afforded by facts. The fiDal test of a tbeory is that it should work satisfactorily in prac· tice. Tbis is the test by which astrological theory sbould be judged. No science or art is more interesting, in structive and use· ful to mankind in contributing to his moral and material advancement tban the sublime science of astrology. This is

Hindu Predictive Muoio.,.

tbe most ancient of a ll sciences and bad reached considerable perfection in India tbousands of years ago. While the modern scientists acknowledge astronomy. some of them sneer at astrology and reject it with' cont~mpt charging it with the dogmatism of charlatanry aDd superstition. They preaca frankness and research as fair and reasonable; but sbow the greatest bigotry, when the subject of astrology is taken up or introd uced. Astrology is the science which comprises the foretelling of tbe regular movements of the planets, the fortunes and misfortunes of men, fates of nations. inundations, eartnquakes. plagues. volcanic eruptions. pestilences, and other incidents relating to terrestrial phenomena. In Sanskrit it is called Bora Sastra meaning the science that treats of Time. It il a lso called Jyolisha or the .!"lJwledge of Lighl from Jyoti or Light which is the root-cause for aU known creation. According to the Western interpretation s. Astrology is derived from Asler-a star, and Logos-reason or logic. No sane brain could ever deny the infiuence of planets upon man and how they affect , deter and facilitate bis future career on the three planes of human existence, vit., pbysical characteristics, mental peculiarities and spiritual aspirations. That a certain subtle power , derived from nature. pervades the entire universe, and the earth we inbabit is also subject to this mysterious and subtle power 1s evident to aU . The various elements, encompassing all matter, arc altered by tbe motions of tbis ethereal power. The acts of creation (sr/.Jhll), protection (slhltil and destruction (Joyal are embedded in the womb of the All-Powerful Time and these variations are brought about as a consequence of this subtle power.

perfection the embryo in plants and animals and brings about. various changes on the earth. The MOOD being nearest to the earth eIercises much influence on it and as she wanes and WaIes rivers swell. the tides of the sea are ruled and the plants and animals aOected. The Sun as the central figure predominates over the entire arrangement of the celestial system and the other planets aod stars arc directed by his rays. 'rhus, it invariably follows , that all bodies in nature, wbether animate or inanimate, are subject to tbe motions of the celestial bodies.· Not only those that are already in existence are influenced by tbe movements and configurations of planets. but also the impregnations and growth and developments of tbe seeds from which all bodies emanate are moulded by the quantity and quality of these infiuences 'a t the time of impregnati on.

The greatest men of the world believed in and practised astrology. Dante declared it to be " the highest. tbe noblest and without defect". Kepler. Bacon, Pythogoras and Democrates were masters in astrology. The ancient Hebrews called the astrologer Asphe meaning " the mouthpiece of the star".

When one bas acquired a thorough knowledge of the everlasting and ever-changing influences of the stars, he will be able to prognosticate correctly the mental and physical qualitie s of any man and the fortunes and misfortunes that await him and his progress in the world whose actual moment of birth is accurately known. By thus knowing the future correctly , man can so create an environment tbat, he can cope with the adverse periods of his life and alleviate the evils, indicated by the planets to a great extent. The human will is free to a certain extent and advance knowledge of the future can enable one to mitigate many evils. There is a proverb: "Fools obey planets while wise men Con tro l them."

The Zodiac and the Solar System

The zodiac is a broad band or belt in the heavens extending 9 degrees 00 each side of the ecliptic. The ~liptie or the path of the Sun passes exactly through the centre of the wdiac longitudinally. It is an imaginary circle of 360 degrees and tbe ancients divided this zodiac into 12 equal parts of 30 'degrees each, each being named after the constellation. Though each of these signs differs considerably from the other, yet there is a sort of continuity tbrough all the twelve. The quality of each sign is oat equally spread, but every degree io a sign has its own peculiar qualities. The zodiac, known as the Bhachakra in Sanskrit , revolves o n its axis o nce in a day from east to west. The planetary orbs. which the ancients recognised as baving the most powerful inOueoces on our earth are seven, leaving aside the shadowy planets, Rahu and Ketu, and the so called newly di scovered planets Uranu s, Neptune and Pluto whicb Hindu astrology does Dot recognise. As inhabitants of the earlh, we are concerned with tbe inHuences of these celestial bodies on our planet. All the planets perform the double function of not only revolving on their own axes once in a day (from west to east) but also round the Sun, According to Surytlsiddhanltl, Saturn is the

• most distant planet Crom tbe earth.

Hindu Predictive AtJtoIOl)'

Jupiter. Mars, the SUD.

Venus, Mercury and tbe MOOD come next in the order of their

distance from tbe terrestrial globe. Thus wt' see that the nearest planet to our own orb is the MOOD. The velocity of each planet diminishes as its distance from the earth increases. The SUD moves at the rate of rougbly 1 degree of tbis Circle of Light (zodiac) in one day composed of 24 hours or boras, and takes 365 days and 6 hours to complete a circuit round the zodiac. The MOOD takes the average rate of 41 ghatis or I hour and 48 minutts to traverse througb a degree of tbis space. Mars moves at the average rate of 45 days for 30 degrees 0" takes Ii days per degree. Mercury moves at the averagc rate of 11 degrees a day; but on account of his closenel! to the Sun and due to tbe solar influence, he is very unsteady. He completes his average rUn in 27 days. He gets into forward aDd backward m·otions from tbe SUD and attain a wbat is called astam or combustion. He bariUy takel a day to move in each degree, but mOVes on more rapidly for some time. geta in front of the Sun and tben begins to move slowly and goes backwards from the Sun. These two states of combunion, viz., moving forwards and backwards from tbe position of the SUD, are designated in the astronomical works .s p,agaslhambha and pascluuJoslhambha-p,~g jndicatina towards the East of tb~ Sun, and pasclrod indicatiDg towards the West of tbe Suo. In these dou.ble motion. of backwards and forward., Mercury never gets away more tban 28 degree. in either direction (rom tbe Sun. Though the time aUotted to Jupiter i. one year in eacb sign of 30 degrees, there i. allO lOme variation and tbe J.oviau year or Ba'MSpathyanulna will be, a little lelS than 12 years in tbe 12 signs; VCUUI moves at the rate of I desree per day. Saturn i. the

.Iowest moving planet of the lot. He talces about 2\ years or 30 month. to move in a sign of 30 degrees and thus he talces 1 month to move in a degree. Rahu and Ketu wbich revolve in tbe Apo$O'YO order, i.e., from east to west, take 18 montbs to travel through each sign of the zodiac. All the planets, excepting the Sun, tbe MOOD and tbe shadowy planets Rabu and Ketu, undergo retrogression or 10kra and tbi s will be fully explained in a future chapter. This much of tbe explanation of the solar system seems to be nCcessa~y to facilitate comprehension of the astrological terms described in tbe subsequent chapters. For further details about tbe astronomical peculiarities. I must refer tbe readers to my A Manual of Hindu Ast,ology.

The zodiac is a circle of light and consequently it knows no beginning or end . In order to measure the di stance an astronomical point (end of the constellation of Revati) is established which is called the first point of Aries. The zodiac i. marked by 27 constellations or naksbatras. The first point of tbe Aswini, tbe first constellation, synchronises with tbe first point of Aries, wbich is the starting point of tbe fixed zodiac. Eacb Dabbatra measures 13° 20' of arc and consists or four quarters or padas of JO 20' eacb. Thus 2l constellations or Dine quarters comprise a zodiacal sign.

The vexed questi on of timing events is solved to a great extent by the Dasa system in vogue among the Hindu~. From a scientific roint ' of view, we caDnot say with any sort of definiteness. upon what basis: each planet is allotted a certain number of years as its term of Dasa . But in actual practice. t!le ~asa 2r..st ~m l!e.IQs veIY satis!actory-resulfs:- -- ·- - - There i re any number of Dasas in vogue among the Hindus, but we propose to deal wilh Vimshottari. . In tbe choice o f any particular type of Dasa, the criterion must be tbat o f experience and Vimshottari has answered this test. The position of the Moon at birth is important in the calculation of tbe Dasas . Every constellation Cover$ l.lj degrees of the zodiacal space. Each nakshatra has a planet assigned as its lord and the Dua at birth is determined rather indicated by the conste llation occupied by the Moo n at the molltent of birth.

Tbe total of the different periods. viz., 120 years is consi_ dered as tbe natural. life period of a buman being. But tbere are ell8mples of perSons baving lived longer. The combinations for such horoscopes have been mentioned in tbe future Clulpters. Tbe position o rlhe Moon at birth determinestbe ruliog period . And tbe next Dasas succeed in the order given above. If, at the birth time, tbe Moon is in the first degree nf tbe naubatra (constellation), the full period assiglled to the planet will run. If the Moon occupies so me intermediate degrees, accordingly the period must be reduced. We sball give below two methods of finding tbe ruling Dasa and its balance at birth. The fir s t method is intended solely for readers who still follow the Paochangas takiog into consideration tbe ba lance (in ghatis) of the ruling constellation.

If the Moon were in the very beginning of Mrigasira, Mars would control tbe native for the full period of 7 years assigned to b im. But 8 gbatis and I vigbati have already passed io Mriga sira out of the total duration of 57/16 gbatis which means the corres· ponding period must be deducted out of the Dasa of Mars .

On Aspects Tbe power of a planet to produce good or inDict evil. on an individual, is modified to a great extent by tile natural sympathies or antipathies of the aspecting and the aspected planets . ~ According to Hind", astrology, all aspe.c ts are impersonal and the aspects are counted feom sign to sign. An aspect is good or bad according to tbe relation between the aspecting and the aspected planet. All the planets aspect tbe -3rd and 10th houses from their loca tio n with a quarter sight; the 5th and 9tb houses with half a sight : tbe 4th and 8th houses with tbree·quarter of a sight and the 7th bouse with a full sight. Saturn, Jupiter and r.brs have special aspects. Saturn power· fully aspects 3rd and 10th houses; Jupiter, 5th and 9th houses; and Mars ~. 4th and ~th hOl!.ses. It will bc seeD that laimini and Tajak writers consider an altogetber different method of reading aspects. Beginners should never mix the o ne system with th e otber. According to laimini all moveable signs aspect all fixed signs, except the adjacent ones. Similarly. all filled signs aspect all moveable signs except the ~djace.J:lt ones . . Common signs aspect each otber. 10 this book we tire devoting ourselves exclusively to Parasara. • 3rd house 60 0 to 90-; 10tb bouse 2700 to 300" j 5tb bouse 1200 to 1500 ; 9th house 240 0 to 270 0 : 4th house 900 to 120~; 8th house ltO· to 340· ; aDd 7th houle 1800.

The aspect is s ignified "by referring to the number 01 signs fro m the significator which the aspectiog planet may hold. Thus if the Sun is in Cancer and Saturn is in Taurus, we say tbat tbe Sun is in the third from Saturn and consequcDtI; receives tbe aspect (ltd hou se aspect) of Saturn. The opposition aspect becomes extremely good when it is produced by Jupiter and the Moon . It is held to be good when benc6es aspect each olher (7th bouse aspect) . A pla net, aspecting its own house, whether by tbe 7tb hOll se aspect or special aspect, will naturally increase the signification of that house. ~ ~aye said that Mars aspects tbe 4th 8!ld 8th hQuses in addition 10 the usual 7th bouse aspect . . The !ltb house aspect is a square aspect and sometimes tbis is evil and sometimes beneficial. For iostance, if Mars, as lord or the 4th and the 9th houses (sec Chapter on Key Planets) in which circum· stance he gets special qualification as a Yogokaraka to produce good, aspects by the 4th house aspect a friendly planet, the significations of the aspected planet and the house are greatly enhanced. The same principle applies even in case: of the 8tb house aspect. Jupiter aspects the 5th and 9th houses which. in Western astrology, are J~e aspects. The results ~vary according to the naturalaDd temporal i:ligoities of the aspecting and the aspected bodies. Jupiter'l aspect over any planet al a natural • benefic is of weigbty importance apart from tbe fact tbat be may be temporarily iII·disposed. S'i£,D aspects tbe 3td and the 10th housci. As a natural malefic. his aspects arc bad. But the aspects produce lood in case Saturn acquires beoeficence by temporal situation . Here some observations on aspects have to be made. The euct quantum of an aspect cast by an aspect ins body on an aspected body can be mathematically mealured by following

--~._.ri!

the method given in Graha alld Bhava Dalas. But for the. general purposes of predicatio n, until the reader is quite familiar with astrological mathematics, it will be in order if full aspects (7th house or 180) for all planets and special aspects of Saturn. Iupiter and Man are taken into account. In the chart illu strated on page 42 the following aspects are present: Saturn aspects the Sun (Jrd hou se), Jupiter (7th house) and the ascendant (10th bouse). The Moo n aspects Jupiter (7th house). Mars. Merc ury and Venus aspec t the ascendant. Mars also aspects Ju piter (4th hou se), and Rahu (11th ho use). Jupiter aspects Rallu (5tb house), Saturn and the Moon (7th hou se) and the Sun (9th house) . According to Western astro logy, aspects are reckoned from mutual longitudinal distance$ (: f planets. When one planet is at a certain Dumber of degrees away from another body. they are said to be in aspect. The following are the major aspects >Conj unction:-Two heavenly bodies in the same longitude. Opposition: The distance between the two bodies is 180 ~ Trine: do, Square: do . SeItile : do. Paralie'·'declination : When two bodies have the same declination (Kraoli). Tbe effect of an aspect is felt even if tbe planets are not cuctly in the mutual distances mentioned above. Therefore a so-called orb of aspect-and this var ies in each aspect-is allowed. The orbs of aspects are: Conjunction q 8° Square 0 8° Sell tile • 7° • For 3n uplanation or Kranli "ide Cralla and Sha'D Balas.

Trine 6. 8° 10 Parallel P The influence of an aspect (e.g., sextile) starts when tbe planets are 53° away from each otber, gradually increase (applying) and it will be maximum at 60; it tben decreases (separating) when the effect is almost nil at 67. Take for instance Saturn and the SUD in the example chart. The angular distance between the two planets is n~ 49. The sex tile aspect ceases at 67. Therefore there is no aspect between them. Take again Saturn and Mercury. The mutual distance is ~ 4° 13 / • It is a square aspect (separating) between Saturn and Mercury. There are also other variations of aspects brought ahout by two planets remaining in tbe same sign and Dot in conjunction but another planet occuPYiog a trine in respect of the two. Readers will do well to refer to aoy teltt·book 00 Westero astrology for more details. The good or bad nature of aspects depends upon the angle of aspects. Foe ins.tance, opposition (1110") and square (90°) are always held to be evil irrespective o f the nature of the planels forming the aspects. The trine and selttile are generally held to be good. Such a classification of aspects is erroneous. If for instan ce Jupiter is in Cancer and Mars in Aries, Western astrologers hold this bad. Commonsense suggesls this is an exceJlent aspect and Hindu astrology say:; so . Why should a square a~pect be always bad unless planets involved are malefics 1 I am not'convinced of the soundness of this view. The reader need not worry with these controversial points. But he may take it that aspects as considered by tbe Hindu system have a sound and scientific basis.

Astrology can forewarn the parents of such times o f danger to their children. Astrologers, not the rank and file, those really well-versed in the science . do hold that they can afford the physician a certain prognosis. An astrologer's work in this re spec t is priceless in value when compared to that of the doctor.· After the horoscope is cast, the primary question is necessarily tbe probable duration of life. For, wben a child bas a poor longevity to its credit, it would be unnecessary to ellamine the other favourabl e combinations. However promi· sing the horoscope may be, it will be futile 10 study the future. unless long life is assured. Tbe span of human life can be brought under four impor· tant divisions. They are: J.

The twelve bbavas or bouses represent tbe entire bistory of the individual. By a careful ICfotiny of tbe planetary combinations aud aspects in tbe twelve bouses, tbe whole life of a Iperson caD be predicted with sufficient accuracy. The combinations given below are not chosen at random hut arc choscn from a study of the boroscopes of persons of vari.ous ranks and eminences. Many have been ptbered from tbe best and tbe most standard works on Hindu astrology . 10 applying these rules to practical boroscopes, tbe student must definitely bear in mind that they-arc merely for his guidance. In addition to tbis, be must also exercise discretio n and common sen se coupled, of course, with a certain amount of intuition . For instance, the astrological principles say tbat if the 4th house is occupied by benefi cs and its lord well situated, tbe native gets high education. This is quite sufficient for an intelligent student to anticipate certain otber things not meotionod here. In fact they strike themselves to the student. In a boroscope. a bene6c may be found in tbe 4th-whicb may be bis house of exaltation. debilitation, or enmity or a friend's sign. Even though a benefic may be in the 4th, the resuits it gives apparently vary according to its disposition towards the lord of that sign. If Jupiter is in exaltation in tbe '4th house, religious learning may be predicted. If he is in debilitation,

Results of Dasas and 8huktis ( Periods and Sub-periods) .We have already learnt the method o f finding the ru ling period (V~'m!hollarj Dasa ), its balance a t the time of birth, and bo~ It IS s ucceeded by s ubsequen t dasa.r in a particular o rd~r (~tde.Chapter X li). Dasas are major periods in whi ch the indica lion s o f the planets are r&alised . . Say, for in s.tan~e when a man will have ma rriage or I ssue~ or promo tio n In his pOSition, has to be de termin ed. For m~rrla8e, tbe 7th h o use is examined and then the most benefiC ial plan.et whic h assures a ll marita l happin ess found out. To determine the probable period of marriage we must fi d out w.hen that partic ul ar planet assumes c~ntrol over t~is event 10 prefe rence 10 othe.rs so tbat tbe time o f realisation may be ascertained. A number of comb~n ali o n s are given bel ow whi ch give tb e probable results a parllcular planet will prodUce during its ~asa. The st~den t must be carefu l in applying these prinCiples to practical horoscopes. He must bea r in mind that th s ho uld not be applied verbatim. The resu lts vary accordi:; to the strength and weakness of the Dasa (main period) lord the Bbukti (sub-pe riod) lord and the Antara (Sub--sub.periodj' lord. . In pre~icting the events, in a Oasa, a Bhukti or a still mlQor period An t ara. ~he general results due to tbe planet should be carefully weighed and incongruous results. when-

14'

ever they occ ur, should be avoided . It is difficult t o lay dow n any particular rules which will apply in all cases. Therefore, we give some of th e important ru les by way o f example, The reader may draw similar canc1usions. baving all the time regard to tbe stren gth and propensity of the planet. The re sult sbould be consistent with the person for whom it is intended, under the condit ion of li fe in which he is brough t up as well as the physical poss ibil ity at the time. For instance political success may be predicted in the Dasa of the Sun , if he is in Aries in the 10th hou se. This political succeSS ' wili be at its maximum p rovided the Sun is not aspected by malefics and his pOSit ion is equall y strong in the Navamsa. If he is aspected by Sat urn who may be in Aquarius, then in ~Rlte o f tbe SUD bein g in Aries, complete politica l success canhot bl.. and ought not to be predic ted . The lo rd of t he Oasa has a qua li ty of his owo stamped upon him . This will aga'in be modified by the nature of the bouse, the n atu re of tbe sign, the nature of the aspectU"ag bodies, the nature of the lord of the constella tion tb e Oasa lord is in, tbe favo urable and un favourable situa tion o f t.he lord of Oasa in tbe Navamsa and va rious other fac to rs . In general we may say: 1. The Oasa period of Saturn, if it happens to be the 4th Oasa, will be unfavourab le. 2. The Oasa period of Jupiter will be unfavourable if it happens to be th e 6th Oasa. . If Sa turn and Jupite r are strong and favourably disposed, the evil effe..:ls get co n ~iderably modified. 3. The Oasa period o f the lords o f the 6th and the 8th produce harmfu l results unless they acquire beneficence otherwise . 4. The Dasa periods o f planets in Shava sandhis (ju nctiona l points) will be unable to produce their full res ult s.

Unfavourable result s will be realised wben the sublord and th.e major lord are situ ated in the 6th and the 8th or the 12th and the 2nd from each other respectively.

Medical Astrology is a part of the grand celestial scieoce dealing with the several zodiacal. planetary and stellar influence~ which affect tbe health , constitution, funclion s and habits of life. In faci. Medicine is a branch of astrology. This conclu sion is clear on its very face . Configurations of plaoets in the heavens in certain angular positions emanate certain forces or energies, which , when they are not in harmony with the energies of an individual, bring about certain disturbances in his physica l and mental dispositions. To avert the evil in8uences of planets, tbe ancients contemplated upon discovering remedies, and the science of Me.dicine was gradu ally fo unded and developed in this manner. Each sign of the zodiac repre~ents a certain part of the human body and the diseases peculiar to it and each planet also indicates certain types of diseases. Disease and death are due to the disturbances in tbe laws of proporti9n and conjunction of natural forces emanating from the Ptanc~is and the time s which these disturbances occur, can be previously ascertained and adequ ~le provision made to arrest or minimise such evil influences. The planetary positions at ~irth clea rly Indicate the nature of the diseases one would suffer from, wben aod how they would affect us and how best to alleviate tbem. 1.

Therefore, when the sign Virgo is badly affiicted by the vibrations of the malefic planets, the whole world must suffer from HI·health, aDd diseases of some sort or the other make their appearance and take away large tolls of life. In the astrological nomet1c1ature. Virgo is referred to as the sign representing sickness. Mind has a tremendous inOuence on health and when it is free from agonies and distractioDs. the health also rema ins unimpaired. When the mind is atft:cted, tbe physical body also suffers. Virgo represents that part of the Kalopurusha (zodiacal man) in which the filler and ,the intestines are situated. The Sun, when be cnters Virgo every year, renders the public health suffer for want of digestion and from intestinal troubles.

Aries, Leo and Sagittarius are fiery signs and control the vitality of persons; Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn are earthly signs and control bones and flesh; Gemini, Libra and Aquarius are windy signs and they govern the breath; and Cancer and its trioes are watery signs aad govern the human blood. 4.

tbe horoscope will be Gb.48-12. The fo llowing arc Rasi and Navamsa diagrams for tbe yearly horoscope. Tbe Vanha Da3a3 are thus distributed. The Sun', Due 110 days, the Moon 60, Mars 32, Mercury 40 , Jupiter 48, Venus 56, Saturn 4, Rabu 5, and Lagna 10. To find the oasas and their balances, tbe followi ng procedure should be aslopted. Take tbe birth star of the person (Mrigasira in this case) and count from it to tbe constellation tbat r ules on tbe day'.o f the anniversary, Divide tbe number by 9 and take tbe balance and ascribe tbe Dasa in the fo Uowing order: Sun, Moon, Mercury , Jupiter, Venus, Saturn , Rah u and Lagna . Take tbe eltent of tbe star and find out wbat fraction of it remains at the commencement of tbe year and by tbe rule of three find the balance of Oasa a t the lime of solar eotry and ascrib~ the days to tbe other plaDels and Lagna as per order given ltbove-On 8th August 1950, the star Hasta ru les for 26-20 gbalis. At the time of tbe commencement of new year Chitta rules. Tbe duration of Cbitta is 55·30 gbatis and the arc of constellation (Cbitta) tbat bas already passed in Gb. 21-52 while tbat remaioinj to be passed being G b. 33.38. CouDting from Mrigasira to Chitta. we get 10 leaving 1 as balance wbeD divided by 9. This represents Ravi Dasa lasting for 110 days. If 55.S gbalis (duration of Cbitta) gives 110 days , wbat will 33.63 (Chiffa remaining) give? 33.63 SS.S )( 110=66.654 days. This is the balance of Ravi Dasa and subsequent OasIs succeed as SbOWD in next page:

In any estim ate of resu ta th.e radical horoscope is of much importance Tb Dasa ana Bbukti ruling at the present time sbould be· care~ ~ully noted as also Gocbafa positions.

As both Jupiter and Mercury are well situated an d tbey have association with the !Otb house, tbe ~rjod is likely to prove beneficial. Accord. mg to G~cb ara , the subject is baving 7, years' Saturn and both JuPlte~ and Saturn are in tbe 12th and Rahu in the 5thall these being had. As tb is is tbe second time tbat the native ~as been undergoing 7, years Saturn, tbe evil effects will on ly e modenlle . .Co~bining tbe above two sets of influences tbe resultant IS still favourable.

Lord of the 10th has oeechabhaoga. ]0 the navamsa, Saturo has Shubhakarthari Yoga. Thus , the 10th bou se indi· cations will be normal, aod financial conditions will be bettered . As Mars occupies the 4th, general happiness will be lacking. Lord of the 2nd aod 5th io the 3rd suue.ts help to relatives while tbe Suo and Mercury in tbe 11th from the Moon is indicative of good reputation , name and contact with high circles. Lord of tbe 10th (from tbe Moo n) in tbe 11th and tbe parivarthana or exchange of houses between lord of Lagoa (Moon) and the 11th i. fav o urable for business improvement. Tbe Sun and Mercury in the 3rd in a move· able sign (Cancer) produce travels in connection with business which will prove profitable to the native . The 7th lord Mars in the 10th from the 7tb assures domestic happiness but his being aspected by Jupiter . lord of the 8th (in the . Navamsa> gives rise to quarrel s and friction . On the whole, financially and professionally, the year will be good wbile the conjunction of the Moon and Rahu does not give mental happiness. Tbe first Dasa is that o f the Sun. Tbis extends from 8.8. 1940 to 14·10·1940. The Sun is lord of the 4th and is in the 3rd with lord of the 5th forming a yoga. Mercury is the planet for business, trade and specu lation. As tbe Sun is in a moveable sign and moveable Navamsa in conjunction with lord of tbe 2nd and 5th and in tbe 2nd from tbe 2nd, be gives loog travelling in connection with business. · As everyone knows Cancer indicates North and the journey will be in tbe Nortbern countries.

Oocbarapbala or Resulls of Transits

CHAPTER XXXII'

Gocharaphala or Resulte of Tranaft. It will be ken that in the preparation of a horoscope, planetary positions will be fixed in their respective longitudes. They are tbere and they will continue to be fixed. But tbere is no stoppage of planetary movements. Pluets take varying . periods for moving from one sigo to anotber. Sucb movements give rise to the stimulation of radioactive disintegration which. 00 falliog on tbe individual, can. produce psycbophysical changes in his character and disposition. Calculations mUst be made Dol only io regard to tbe Dasas and Bhuktis ruliog at any particular period but also due consideration should be bestowed 00 results of transits or Gochafa move. ments of planets. Gocbara coables us to predict tbe effl:cts of tbe current period. In predicting GOthara results . the Moon and the birth constellation playa prominent part. Mark the position of the Moon at the time of birth. ~be sign. in which the birth Moon is • is called tbe Janma Rasi.

Rasi of wealth. of prestige, sickness and will have many obstacles and aimless travels. When he transits in the 2nd house. thert: will be loss of wealth . be wilJ suffer deceit. he will have full of financial 'Worries. In the lId hauss, tbere will be advent of money. bappiness. relief from diseases, recognition from superiors.

honours and courage. l~e 4th bg:lU$. tbere will be disuses. constant attacks from ~pponents, no peace of mind. pressure from creditors, and sorrow and misery. The Sun traolitio. the ~lt~ill cause mental agitation, iIl·beallh, embarrassment ;od accidents. Tbe SUD uqbe 6th aives rise to release from sorrows, worries and troubles, destruction of eoemies and peace of mind. The Sun, transiting tbe 7tb, pro~~c~ .....earisome travelliog, 'OOlic and aDal trOUbles, bumlhatlon and sickness, In the 8tb, Suo's progress gives rise to quarrels with fr-iends, diseases, bigh blood preSSure, royal and official displeasure. The Sun's transit in the 9th house will cause to tbe nath'e dan'ger, bumiliatioD, dependency, disappointment and separation. One will accomplish his desire and plans, and suc~ss will attend on all kinds of undertakings when tbe Sun is ig Jhe 10th. In the 11th, tbe passage oCtbe Sun will coufer on a persoo honour, health, wealth and success, When tbe Sun passeS through there will be sorrow, creation of a situation Joss to ever·vtbing, quarrels aod iII-healtb. It must be noted that when passing tbrough tbe first 10 degrees of a sign, Mars and tbe Sun produce results. Of the different planets, tbe Gochara results of the slow moving planets, Jupiter and Saturn, are held to. be the most powerful. Tbe triennial results may be ascerta10ed from Saturn, the yearly effects from Jupiter. the monthly results from other planets and the daily influences from tbe Moo n. We shall first enumerate tbclikely results tbat are supposed to accrUe on account of transits of tbe different planets in the different signs from the Moon and tben describe the special rules governing Gocbara. When the Moon transits the sign ccu ied b her at the time OIhirth of a perSOD, tbe native wlli get excellent food, bed and clothes. When t e MOOD passes through the 2nd hOlUe, loss of respect and of money and

The MOOD transiting the 8tb produces

misery, ill-bealth and fear from unexpected sources; ib tbe 9th from herself, pain of mind, chest pain, fatigue of body and the like arc caused. WheD the Moon passes throagh the 10th house, success will attend in every sphere of activity; in the 11th house. tbe persoo will enjoy prosperity. will set 'wealth and new friends; when the Moon transits through the 12th t!&L. he suffers from accidents and injuries. It may be remarked in passing tba, uoless Gochara is combined with Ashtakavarga, results cannot be predicted with appreciable accuracy. suppoa'e the Moon is transiting the sign occupied by her at birth. The Moon produces beneficial results provided tbe benefic dots tbere are above 4. If they are below 4, tben tbe Moon cannot certainly do a. much good as is ascribed to ber. Planets produce good, bad or indi8'erent results during tbeir transits at any particular moment, in accordance with the number of benefic dots which the planets obtain in tbeir respective Ashtakavargas (see my book A8htaktivarga System of Prediction for more details regarding Ashtakavarga). Agaio, we have to conlider what is called Vedha ~ 0
