Accidents...4

Following combinations also define accidents in some form:

1. If in the Leo ascendant Moon is present along with the Sun(master of Leo) and Rahu sits in 12th, it can define sudden severe accident, which can be life threatening.

2. Mars, Saturn and Ketu form a conjunction in 7th house of spouse in D1 or D9 chart then the native's spouse can commit suicide or have a fatal accident.

3. The conjunction of Saturn and Mars in 8th house in Gemini, Libra or Aquarius can cause accident by fire.

4. The Lord of 7th is present with Mars and Saturn (or under aspect of both if them), then an accident is inevitable.

Most of the time these accidents or mishaps can occur when the Mahadasa/Antardasa or Pratyantar of the the lords of 2nd, 6th, 7th or 8th house lords is going on.

All the above combinations that have been described above must be considered after noting the aspect/conjunction of benefics/yogkarakas/friends with the ascendant lord and/or the combination described.

Accidents...1

Vedic Astrology can be used as a tool for knowing the forthcoming events of life. Most of us wait for good events in our life - School, Graduation, Marriage, Kids etc. But life is not always about happiness. Due to past deeds (Karma from the previous lives) diseases and accidents can happen. Again, I must reiterate that all the events of life must be judged based on a holistic view of all planets in a chart and the mahadasa, antardasa of planets involved. I have already mentioned some indications of good health, bad health and recovering from bad health in my previous posts. So, from today I will write on how to look for accidents in a chart.

Knowing about accidents is important because if we are aware of an upcoming event we can be prepared for that. Just imagine that you are not aware of today's weather. You go out and see that bright sun is out, taking toll of your skin. If you were aware of that fact earlier on, you can take an umbrella with you and save yourself from the severity of weather. Hence the pre-knowledge is important. It must not be used for causing the fear, but for getting in all precautions in time. 

For judging accidents in a chart, the most important houses are house 6 and house 8. Their significations are stated in the following posts:

http://oneastrovedic.blogspot.com/2013/04/the-houses-of-your-vedic-charthouse-8.html

Whenever the master of 6th house and 8th house are under some relation with a malefic (Sun, Mars, Saturn, Rahu, Ketu, Waning Moon), the accidents are inevitable to some extent. 

All the above combinations that have been described above must be considered after noting the aspect/conjunction of benefics/yogkarakas/friends with the ascendant lord and/or the combination described.

Bad health indicators...4

If the Moon is not well placed, general bad health condition is indicated. Note the following:

a) Moon is debilitated or/and

b) Moon is in enemy's home or/and 

c) Moon is lacking in paksha bal or/and 

d) Moon is with with malefic planets before and after it. 

Moon lacks the paksha bal by being close to Sun. It means that it must be as further from Sun as possible and possibly with a benefic planet. Moon has least paksha bal when it is the new moon day. As you will realize a healthy mind promotes healthy body and it has been endorsed by our elders since long time. 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. If not well, you can read the below posts for some help:

Bad health indicators...3

Following also indicate bad health in a native:

1. If the eighth lord is weak then the native will have a weak constitution and may have general bad health.

2. If the Atmakaraka is weak then also native can have bad health. Besides this if the Sun is weak, the native will have bad health.

3. Houses 3, 6 and 11 don't have any malefic planets. 

4. Malefic planets must not be present in houses 1, 4, 5, 7, 9 and 10. They will give worse results if they are retrograde.

5. Benefic planets in eigth house indicate a bad health for native. 

6. When the ascendant lord, Sun or Moon are accompanied by Gulika and/or Mandi, adverse health is indicated. If they are present in 1, 4, 5, 7, 9 and 10 then also indicate bad health and bad recovering state of the native.

Bad health indicators...2

There are some more indicators that indicate bad health as well as a worse recuperating power of the native:

1. The ascendant lord is weak because it is combust (located very close to the Sun) or debilitated. 

2. It is in the house of enemy.

3. The ascendant lord is in 6th, 8th or 12th. 

4. It is under influence of malefic planets, through aspect. 

5. The ascendant lord has malefic planets before and after it.

Bad health indicators...1

In the previous posts I have mentioned the good health indicators. As you can imagine the reverse of the good health indicators will show bad health in natives. Some of the factors are explained below:

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.

Ascendant Sign	Planet which is debilitated
Aries	Saturn
Taurus	----
Gemini	----
Cancer	Mars
Leo	----
Virgo	Venus
Libra	Sun
Scorpio	Moon
Sagittarius	----
Capricorn	Jupiter
Aquarius	----
Pisces	Mercury

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.
