Special Aspects of Outer Planets...4

Saturn, predominantly the most dreaded planet in the astrological world, also has special aspects. As I have already mentioned, Saturn delays things, but rarely denies. And your have to be very very righteous in your life if you have to please Saturn. You can offer whatever you have - lots of oil, til (sesame seeds), black cloth, iron stuff and all, as much quantity as you want, but the best way to ward away evils of Saturn is to change yourself. That comes from within, as you can guess. 

Saturn is the master of Justice and delays. If you see things getting delayed in your life, most of the time Saturn is responsible. It wants you to learn lessons of life, the hard way. Justice is another aspect of Saturn, it has orders from Lord Shiv to carry out the justice! And you know very well, it does that successfully, in fact it has the authority for that! So, as I said offer anything but change yourself if you wanna please Saturn. 

Be righteous, don't indulge in any politics at workplace to get ahead of others, never indulge in infidelity, take care of your ageing parents in whatever best way you can, be respectful towards subordinates, elders and Gurus, and avoid castigating others specially if Saturn influences your first/second house; and help the needy in best manner! Saturn will definitely shower its blessings over you!

Special Aspects of Outer Planets...3

Coming to Devaguru Jupiter, well, I have always laid importance of its presence in center. So, I will explain the special aspect of Jupiter with its presence in 1st house in Cancer where it is exalted. Some kids with this configuration will be born when Jupiter will be exalted from Jun 19, 2014 for one whole year. That will be a real good time for people born under Cancer, Sagittarius, Pisces, Scorpio signs. The special aspect for Jupiter is explained in the below diagram.


So Jupiter showers its blessings over houses 1 (where it is located), house 5 (the house of children), house 7 (house of your spouse) and house 9 (house of luck). During the major/minor period of Jupiter and when Jupiter transits these houses, you can see special events such as birth of a child (house 5), marriage (house 7) or may be higher education (house 9). Well, actually if Jupiter is present in houses 1,4,5,7, 9,10 it does influence the native to go for higher studies and such a Jupiter takes care of several negative things which actually do not happen! Such is the blessing of the Devaguru. Also, When you will run through Jupiter major/minor period you might actually find a true adviser/Guru in your life, may be someone who will change the direction of the course of your life!

Special Aspects of Outer Planets...2

Coming back to special aspects. Well following holds true for Mars:

Mars aspects the fourth and the eighth house from its location besides the first and seventh. In that case, Mars will influence planets located in 1st, 4th, 7th and 8th houses and also the activities of that house, specially during its major/minor period and during transits through those houses. The below diagram can help you understand this concept better:



As you can see, Mars is present in house 1, numbered 8 because the ascendant is Scorpio. Hence it will influence all houses and planets in Scorpio (8), Aquarius (11), Taurus (7) and Gemini (3). We must also know that depending upon the sign the planet aspects, it aspects will be inimical or friendly. In the above example, Mars will actually negatively influence the first house positively (since it is the master of Scorpio), while it will mostly negative influence the other houses (4,7,8) since it is enemy to Saturn (Lord of 4th), Venus (Lord of 7th) and Mercury (Lord of 8th), unless otherwise influenced by any other planet. So, if you have above configuration in your chart (Mars located in first house in Scorpio), then during Mars major/minor period you can see positive influence with respect to your personality (indicated by first house) but negatively with respect to your Mother and Spouse (indicated by 4th and 7th house) and may be interest in occult (indicated by 8th house). One thing to keep in mind is that, even though Mars is influencing these houses and planets situated herein, the final result still lies with master of that house. So, in all above example, Saturn, Venus and Mercury are the final judge in giving you what you deserve. Actually, Mars might not be able to give its negative result if these planets are well placed!

Special Aspects of Outer Planets...1

I thought I will put forth some theory that I had read earlier. The outer planets namely Mars, Jupiter and Saturn lay special aspects. But before moving further I would like to state what does aspect mean? I have mentioned this term before too. Aspect means affect in the current context. Whenever a planet aspects another planet, it actually has the right to influence that planet. All the planets affect and influence the planets in the first house (where the planet is situated) and the seventh house. You have to count anti-clockwise (in the North Indian style of horoscopes) from the first house where the planet is situated and then count till 7.  For example in the below pic, Sun is located in house 1 (Aries ascendant, hence exalted), so it will influence(aspect) any planets present in Aries or Libra (7th house). It will also influence activities connected with that house (houses 1 and 7, I have written about them earlier). 


During the Sun major/minor period, the native will witness the influence of Sun on the activities of these houses too. Also, when Sun will transit through these houses, the native will witness the activities with respect to these houses.

Recovering from bad health...2


Greater period/sub period of a favorable planet - If you have been going through bad health for quite some time, just look for the coming periods. If the coming periods are that of your ascendant lord (which is located well and is strong), or of the yogkaraka planets or of a friendly planet, then general recovery is indicated for the native from the long time disease. Refer to the following table:

Ascendant Sign Planet which is yogkaraka

Leo Mars
Virgo ----
Libra Saturn

Besides the above, if there is a favorable transit (for the ascendant/ascendant Lord) is going on. The above table is valid for transits also.

b) Moon is in enemy's home or/and

And the moon indicates the mind. For a good/healthy mind, well, if you have been reading my blog, you know that your Moon must be strong and well placed.

1. The ascendant (first house) is occupied by malefic planets.

2. If malefic planets aspect the ascendant, mostly when they are enemies of the ascendant lord.

3. Ascendant has adverse yogas. E.g. Paap Kartari yoga is formed when we have 2 malefic planet before and after the ascendant, i.e., in the 12th and 2nd house. OR even worse the ascendant has Sun and Moon together (birth on the new moon day).

4. The ascendant has debilitated planets. Refer to the below table.

One of the songs that I found on Internet which is good for meditation, if heard in low volume:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D_M-xt__4XY


Following are also indicators of good health:

1. Moon and its association - If Moon is strong and without any malefic planet and only with benefic planets, good health in general is assured. If Moon has 2 benefic planets around it, the health will be better. You must  have heard the term, good mind drives good health, hence this formation!

2. Malefic planets in 3, 6 and 11 - These 3 houses, in general denote bad houses. But malefics, when present in these houses make the native stronger, capable of fighting with diseases, and give good immune system.

3. Strong Atmakaraka - Atmakaraka, is the planet in your chart which has advanced most degrees in its location or house where it is present. If the atmakaraka is exalted or in own house, it will be strong, hence assuring good health.

4. Strengh of Sun - Sun is naturally signifies your physical health. Hence, if is strong in your chart, it will promote your health.

Good Health Indicators...2

The most important factor that governs your health is the health of your ascendant. Oh yes! The ascendant is single most important factor of good health! It is strong if you see following indications in one's chart:

1. Ascendant is Vargottama. It actually means that same number is written in House 1 for D1 (main chart) and the D9 (the Navmansa). For example, if your ascendant is Leo and ascendant in D9 is also Leo, then your ascendant is Vargottama and hence very strong!

2. Ascendant has benefic planets such as Jupiter, Venus, Mercury and Moon (of brighter half of month). This could be true even when the benefic is enemy to ascendant. E.g. in case of Leo ascendant Venus' presence will give good health. Also, if benefics occupy houses 5 and 9, they give good health. Also, aspect of benefics over ascendant helps a lot! 

3. When ascendant lord sits in ascendant or aspects it, the ascendant grows in strength. E.g Mars putting aspect on Scorpio ascendant (owned by Mars), from Leo (in 10th).

4. Presence of Rajyogas is another thing to consider. If one has several Rajyogas associated with ascendant, then good health is assured. E.g. for Virgo ascendant, if the Lord Mercury and Venus combine together in 10th house, good health is assured.

If someone is born with Virgo ascendant, he will have Leo as 12th house. So, he must get married to someone who has many planets or at least Moon in Leo. His partner will be able to understand him good!

The Houses of your Vedic chart...House 4


The fourth house is the 4th from ascendant when counted anti-clockwise. If the master of 4th house is present in exaltation or in own house, specially if in center (1,4,7,10) or in trine (1,5,9), it will give native good results. The 2nd house is also called the Matra Sthan (the house of mother). If the master of 4th house is good, the person will have great support from his/her mother. The native will also be attached to his/her mother. In addition, if Moon is also good the bond between the native and his/her mother will be stronger. For this sake, Moon must be exalted (in Taurus), in own house (Cancer), in the 4th house and/or the 10th house. 

The 4th house mostly signifies the following:

1. The mother of native
2. Immovable property such as house etc.

The Houses of your Vedic chart...House 3

The third house is the 3rd house from ascendant when counted anti-clockwise. If the master of 3rd house is present in exaltation or in own house, specially if in center (1,4,7,10) or in trine (1,5,9), it will give native good results. The 3rd house is also called the Parakram Sthan (the house of might, valor and audacity). The strength of this house indicates how much can a native work hard and how much can he get results out of his hard work. 

The 3rd house mostly signifies the following:

If the ascendant lord is present in 3rd house, the native will be fearless as a tiger. If Saturn is present, the native will fear from the unknown.

The Houses of your Vedic chart...House 2


The second house is the 2nd from ascendant when counted anti-clockwise. If the master of 2nd house is present in exaltation or in own house, specially if in center (1,4,7,10) or in trine (1,5,9), it will give native good results. The 2nd house is also called the Dhan Sthan (the house of money). Hence, if you want to have a lot of money, you will need the lord of this house very strong. If the master of this house is strong, you will inherit a good amount of money in your life. If the master of 2nd house will reside in 12th house then you will have a lot of money, but it will drain away from you. You will not even realize the reasons, but still the money will not stay with you.

The 2nd house mostly signifies the following:
1. Your immediate family.
2. Money.
3. Right eye.
4. Face and upper jaw.
5. Lips, teeth, tongue, mouth, oral cavity, nose, speech, nails, steadiness of mind.

Hence, to judge the above we must consider the 2nd house. If the ascendant Lord is present in 2nd house, the person is centric on the above indicated things, money and family! During the dasa, antardasa of the Lord of 2nd house, you will see the above significations of 2nd house, taking prominence in your life.

The Houses of your Vedic chart...ascendant...2


The ascendant is considered most important house in a birth chart. The strength of ascendant and its Lord is considered utmost important when determining general success in life. A person with strong ascendant will be bold and very strong in keeping his opinions/views etc. If the ascendant lord is exalted or in own house the person will be strong physically. He will have success depending upon location of ascendant lord.

In general the ascendant signifies the following:
1. Your physical existence or your body. 
2. Your will power.
3. Your physical strength.
4. Your physical beauty.
5. Your head and hair. 
6. Brain, appearance, skin, sleep, longevity
7. Freedom from ill-health, longevity and old age
8. Ability to perform work

The ascendant must be considered a temple and hence the planets present in it must be considered deities of the temple. An inimical planet (planet that is malefic for the Lagna) must, preferably be not present in the ascendant. Following is the list of planets that are ascendants and the planets that are malefics/benefics to it:

Lagna Benefics Malefics
Aries (Mesha) Sun, Jupiter Mercury, Venus, Saturn
Taurus (Vrish) Sun, Saturn Moon, Jupiter
Gemini (Mithun) Venus Mars, Jupiter
Cancer (Karka) Moon, Mars, Jupiter Mercury, Venus
Leo (Sinha) Sun, Mars, Jupiter Mercury, Venus, Saturn
Virgo (Kanya) Mercury, Venus Moon, Jupiter, Mars
Libra (Tula) Mercury, Venus, Saturn Sun, Mars, Jupiter
Scorpio (Vrishchik) Moon, Mars, Jupiter Mercury, Venus, Saturn
Sagittarius (Dhanu) Sun, Mars, Jupiter Venus
Capricorn (Makar) Mercury, Venus Moon, Mars, Jupiter
Aquarius (Kumbh) Mercury, Venus, Saturn Sun, Mars, Jupiter
Pisces (Meen) Moon, Mars, Jupiter Sun, Mercury, Venus, Saturn

The planets that are present in ascendant will deliver their properties to the ascendant and hence influence the  native. For example, presence the Venus in ascendant will always make a native lover of beauty in general and also give the native a bent towards arts, similarly, Saturn will make native pessimistic and Sun will always keep the native in limelight. Hence, while judging a chart we must keep in mind these factors, besides the above malefic/benefic planets.

The Houses of your Vedic chart...ascendant...1


I have discussed several topics and from today I will discuss the twelve houses of the vedic charts. Each of the 12 houses have their own significations and give results to the native based upon the location of master of the house. Most of the time, if the Lord of a house is present in center (houses 1,4,7,10) then the planet will give at least some good results to the native even if the planet is enemy/malefic for the ascendant. The same is true when the planet is present in trine (1,5,9). 

The first house is called the ascendant or Lagna. The Lord of the Ascendant is called the Main Planet (mukhya grah). Ascendant is the zodiac sign which rises in the east when the child is born. As per the North Indian Vedic Astrology, the planets move anti-clockwise in a chart, but the zodiac signs move clockwise. Hence, if at 8 AM in the morning Capricorn is rising then at 10 AM we might have Aquarius/Pisces rising (depending on time for Capricorn to completely rising).

Marriage and its Stability...4


9. If you have access to you D60 chart (if you can make your chart using JHora software) then following can be considered:

Note - D60 chart actually shows the things that you are bringing in to your current life from your past life. The time of your chart must be accurate if you need an accurate D60.

a) If with Moon, Rahu/Ketu are present, then your marriage will be unstable in this life because of external factors/people. For example, there might be people who don't want to see you happy together, so they will cause misunderstandings between you are and your partner and they will be successful to some extent. You need to eliminate such elements from your life, and you will hence be happy!

b) If in a boys chart he has a weak Venus (in enemies house or debilitated), it means that he misbehaved with his wife (due to N reasons), so he must be compensate with his current partner in this life. In such case he must need to change himself.

c) Similarly in a girl's chart, if she has a weak Mars and/or Jupiter, she must have misbehaved/done wrong to her partner in previous life. So, now is the time for her to rectify herself!

So, you can see that there are several combinations which can destabilize a relationship. But if you are really serious about your married life, you can strengthen your lord of 7th house and also Ve, Ma or Ju as applicable to gain confidence in your relationship! All the best!

Marriage and its Stability...3


7. If in a girl's D9 chart she has a good Mars and/or Jupiter (own house, exalted or in friend's house), however big problems she is facing with her partner, things will finally settle down and bring in happiness in her life.

8. Similarly in a boys chart, even if his Venus is weak in D1, if Ve is showing gain in strength in D9 chart (own house, exalted or in friend's house), then definitely, things will turn out to be good as the time will pass.

Now, it does not mean that you have a weak Venus, Mars or Jupiter, they cannot be strengthened. Following are the posts that you can revisit:
