Not just 12 signs...

Most people argue that how can the whole humanity be divided into just 12 signs (Aries, Taurus, Gemini etc.). Actually as per Vedic Astrology, the division are far more than that, possibly the reason why we have so many different kinds of people. How? Just see the stats below:

Signs - 12
Houses - 12
Nakshatras (Constellations) - 27
Each Nakshatra has 4 divisions called padas.
Hence, at least total number of variations can be
12*12*27*4 = 15552

Now, for every degree of movement of earth the planets shift their positions. Consider Moon. It will hence traverse 180 degree East and West of GMT, with total of 360 degrees. Multiplying this with above figure, we get = 5598720. And this multiplication must be done for all planets. I am not going to do that. Hence we have these many types of people in the world. Start counting...

The Houses of your Vedic chart...House 8


The eighth house is the 8th from ascendant when counted anti-clockwise. If the master of 8th 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 7th house is also called the Ayur Sthan (the house of your age/longevity). It concerns the native's birth and death. However, it does not necessarily mean actual physical death. It may be a symbolic death, and thus, it is synonymous with evolution and transformation. This house also represents inheritances, money earned by other people, but also sexuality, power, all things hidden, and interest in occultism.

The 8th house mostly signifies the following:

1. Longevity or age of the native; in-laws.
2. Interest in Occult Sciences such as Astrology, Yoga, Chakra Healing and Kundalini Yoga. 
3. Inheritance, legacy, will.
4. Misery, misfortune, sorrow, loss, theft, robbery, disappointment
5. Obstruction to flow of life, material prosperity and mental well-being.
6. Mostly 4 and 5 happen if the Lord of eighth is afflicted and weak.
7. If the Lord of eighth is strong, it will give long age to the native and opposite of 4 and 5.
8. External genitalia, anal orifice, chronic diseases
9. Sudden ups and downs, surgeries, death and rebirth, government taxes, secret and hidden things.

It is basically a difficult house as far as material aspects of life are concerned.  It helps native in general spiritual awakening. During the dasa, antardasa of the Lord of 8th house, you will see the above significations of 8th house, taking prominence in your life.

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). For more details on the main planet, visit the following link:

Marriage and its Stability...1

Even though the subject says about stability, I will write also about the combinations of successful and happy marriages. It does not matter whether whether you had a love marriage or an arranged marriage, you can seek happiness in your marriage/relationship, because everyone deserves to be happy. All relationships have problems, mainly because there are two individuals involved, with two opinions on a single point of attention, so it is normal to have problems in married life, but finally something which can help you is your faith in each other and also, love for each other!

I am not going to talk about separation here!

Now percolating down to combinations which give a stable and happy marriage; they are as follows:


1. The strength of master of Lord of 7th house is biggest determiner as far as happiness in marriage is considered. 

2. If the master of 7th house is weak, in an enemy's house, under influence of malefic planets, definitely, you are going to see problems in your relationships in general, specially in love relationships.

3. If the master of 7th house is in 6th house (12th from 7th) or in 12th house, then it will bring at least some loss in your married life.

Moon and Mental Disorders...6


10. Obsessive compulsive disorder - This is also a mental disorder. And this happens most of the time when people become obsessed with themselves. It happens mostly when Moon is very powerful (due to Paksha bal, as it is just opposite the Sun) but completely alone, without aspect of any benefic or any benefic in same or in adjacent houses. Such people, might be people's people but in fact they want the limelight a lot. They become egotists. The problem becomes severe when Sun is also weak. They would like to click their own snaps and change them again and again or share with friends and they do that very often. They want to be pampered. If the Moon under aspect of a malefics, this problem becomes more severe and may lead to Obsessive compulsive personality disorder.

11. Schizophrenia - it is a mental disorder characterized by a breakdown of thought processes and by poor emotional responsiveness. The native suffers with delusions and illusions and hallucinations. All the above indicated combinations when combined with other malefic aspects and conjunctions, produce such mental disorders. Following are some of the  combinations which designate natives suffering with schizophrenia:

a) Debilitated Moon (in Scorpio) in 1,5,9 house along with Ma, Saturn or Rahu/Ketu. This might get a relief if Jupiter is in center with respect with Moon and Venus gives neecha bhanga (cancelation of debilitation) to Moon, by being in houses 1,4,7,10.
b) Moon and Mercury in Scorpio in first house. Note that in such a case Moon will lack the paksha bal too (because Mercury is never more than 28 degrees away from Sun, hence Sun will be close to Moon, so Moon will have lesser Paksha bal).
c) Debilitated Moon occurs in 12th house along with Saturn.
d) Saturn in house 1, Jupiter in house 12, Mars and Moon in 1,5, 9 house.

There are many more combinations but they depend on other planets, and not just Moon, for example - Mercury when under influence of Mars, Saturn and Rahu in 12th house can give mild hallucinations. If any of the above are also true, the person will actually loose control of his brain. One more thing to notice here is that I have not listed the beneficial effects of the combinations, for example, Moon+Ketu gives awesome intuition abilities. If this combination has aspects of a benefic such as Jupiter, the native will know before what good things are about to happen. If Mars or some other malefic aspects the combinations, the native will foresee bad events.

Another thing that I want to mention is that the whole chart must be seen holistically, for example, even if a person is born on Amawasya, the moon is in better state when exalted in Taurus, specially when Ve is close by. Also, in all the above cases, if Jupiter is giving its beneficial aspects to Moon, then the person will have a very good chance of recovering from the problem. This is far better when Jupiter sits with Moon, specially in the same nakshatra. Devaguru Jupiter always comes to the rescue of Moon! Why? Because Moon is primarily sattvic and Jupiter's main duty is to promote that! Therefor always look out of Jupiter+Moon combination (conjunction, aspect, exchange, square) in one's chart, it is the best combination to have, even if both or one of them are in enemies house! This combinations always promises many things to the native, however weak it is!

Moon and Mental Disorders...5


8. Over confidence - some natives display over confidence too in case of a weak moon, specially  when  moon is accompanied by malefics such as Saturn, Rahu, Ketu or Mars. I have witnessed that even if for such people the yogkarak is Mars, it will still make people overconfident, when it affects the ascendant, ascendant lord, or weak moon. Such people often, in their over confidence, hurt others. They act with haughty nature and even speak words. Such people can be convinced if spoken in soft voice. They are gullible to the extent that if spoken softly will completely change their opinions. But if we try to push our opinions over them with force, they will repel back badly. Such an over confidence and haughty attitude is evident is also visible when a native is born under paap kartari yoga. This yoga is formed when moon has malefics on both its sides, it is hemmed between 2 malefics. In such a case of the moon also lacks the Paksha bal, then the native will also suffer with worse forms of mental illness. The person can also have severe headaches, depression and may be mild epilepsy. The problem aggravates further if there is no benefic aspect, but moon comes directly under the aspect of Rahu, or the enemy of Lagna lord (e.g. Sun is enemy to ascendants - Taurus, Libra, Capricorn, and Aquarius; Venus is bad for Leo, Sagittarius, and Pisces; Jupiter is bad for Taurus and libra; Mercury is bad for Aries, Scorpio, Sagittarius, and Pisces ascendants; Saturn is bad for Aries, Leo and Scorpio ascendants).

9. Headaches and Sinus - whenever Moon combines with Ketu, I have witnessed people suffering with headaches and when Moon is further weakened by being in Aries, Scorpio or with less Paksha bal or in ketu's  nakshatra, the headache will aggravate to sinus problem.  The pain is alleviated when Moon is in conjunction with/ aspected by Jupiter.

Moon and Mental Disorders...4

6. Inactive social life - when moon is all alone in a house with no aspects from benefics such as Jupiter, Venus or Mercury or they are not in the same house as Moon or adjacent to it, then people will have a weak social life. There is some compensation if the Moon has aspect from the strong Lagna lord or is in conjunction with/ aspects from the yogkarak planet (e.g. Mars is yogkarak for Cancer and Leo ascendants, Venus is yogkarak for Capricorn and Aquarius ascendants & Saturn is yogkarak for Taurus and Libra ascendants). Such people will also feel lonely at times and sometimes feel bereft of luck.

7. Unnecessary fear - this happens specifically when moon is weak in Paksha bal and has aspects from Rahu or Saturn or both. Such natives will fear from the unknown. Depending upon the position of moon, that house will be affected. For example - if moon is present in 10th house with an aspect from Rahu or Saturn, the person will have fears related to workplace. If Rahu is too bad then the native will have hidden enemies at workplace.

Moon and Mental Disorders...3


3. Inferiority Complex - A weak moon gives this too, specially if the person is born on Amawasya! The people who are born on the new moon day or Amawasya have an unnecessary inferiority complex. They might be good in their fields but still they will fear to speak out their opinions. The birth on new moon day is also considered inauspicious because the moon, which is the naturally signifies of mind and luck is devoid of strength being very close to Sun. Unless this combination has Jupiter also in the same or adjacent house, it certainly does  give the native some mind related problems.

4. Being a wimp - When Moon is too weak in Paksha Bal, the native will tend to be a wimp, someone who cries easily. This happens also when Venus is close to the Moon and Jupiter's aspect is weak. Such a person worries easily and will be under great stress if the Moon is under aspect of/conjunction with Rahu and/or Venus is close by. 

5. Anxiety and nervousness - I have seen that natives who have a weak moon (such that it is very close to Sun &  hence lacking in Paksha  bal) to suffer with some kind of anxiety and depression. Such people need someone close to them to pacify them. The depression can aggravate if following are also true:-

a) the native has taken birth between 10th tithi of Krishna Paksha to 5th tithi of Shukla Paksha.
b) the weak moon is present in Aries or Scorpio.
c) the weak moon is present in nakshatra of Ketu, ie, Magha, Ashwini, or Mool. Of the three Mool has worst affect.
d) weak moon is accompanied only by Venus. In such a case the native will be overly emotional and she will probably have several heart aches in life.
All the above people will also be bad in terms of social life and also public speaking, unless the Sun is strong.

Moon and Mental Disorders...2


Besides that our mind has a typical quality of getting distracted easily. Many people suffer with this, specially when they need to concentrate on something important, they experience this. Hence, we need to control mind here too, because the more we get distracted, success shuns us.

Moon naturally signifies luck too. Hence you can imagine that how luck and mind are connected leading to success. And actually success is just a state of mind. If you are satisfied with yourself, or anything that you achieve, you have a cool mind. And that anything could be just anything, not necessarily material. 

Now, coming to affects of weak moon. It gives many problems and they depend on multitude of factors. I will try to enlist all of them, those that I have witnessed in people. And mostly these disorders vary in degrees in all the individuals and instead of despising such people we need to pay attention and help them recover:

1. Being over-conscious - People who have weak moon remain unnecessarily conscious. Just imagine a child, how free she is, no thoughts about the world, just busy in her own world, right? That's what a good Moon gives. To not think about the world. Carefree! And I have seen people who are born on Full Moon day to be like that only. Also, if moon has benefics (Jupiter, Venus, Mercury) very close to it, then also people tend to be that way. Most stage artists have a good Moon. E.g. Michael Jackson had a full moon in his first house. 

2. Irresponsibility - The native will tend to irresponsible if there is no aspects from any benefic or the Moon is under a strong influence of one or more malefics. This will happen even when Moon is in a benefic's house or in benefic's nakshatra. The person will actually display to the world that he/she is a cool person, but actually he is slowly moving towards being irresponsible. The irresponsibility increases when the native has other benefics (specially Mercury and Venus) weak.

Moon and Mental Disorders...1

I have already written some stuff on this, but thought to revisit this:


In the Vedic Astrology, Moon is considered to signify Mind, Luck and also one's mother. Mind rules over our physical existence and most of the time we act as per the direction given by our mind. We act as per the perceptions of our conscious and sub-conscious mind. We act based upon the habits we develop over time and and as they get embedded in our minds. Many a times we use words such as - In my opinion..., I think...etc. All these indicate the importance of mind. This is the reason why we have Moon signs and not Sun sign in Vedic Astrology. On the other hand, Sun signifies our physical existence and our soul. 

A stable mind is the most important requirement to be successful in life. Success can have several definitions based on people's perceptions. It can be money, love or some position. But I am sure that many will agree that a satisfied mind is most successful. And satisfied mind is achieved only after we as mortals achieve something material. But this is a vicious cycle, because after achieving something, we are satisfied only for sometime. After that we want something else and set our journey towards that. Hence we continue our journey, never being satisfied completely. To some extent this is good, if you are 'lucky' enough to achieve what you desire, but if not, then the problem starts. The mind loses its stability and coolness in the wake of achieving that thing, finally leading to loss of memory and ability of mind to think (BhagwadGeeta 2.62-63). Hence, one need's to stabilize one's mind first if one has to be successful in life!

Child Birth...Finale


Please read the following before proceeding:




Here I come to the final post on Child Birth. I hope you would have read the above posts and I hope you have a child who not only fulfills your desires but also serves the society. Every person is born to achieve something and I hope that your child becomes an achiever is her/his life. 

A general reader might have felt that I have mentioned the names of Hindu Gods in these posts. Actually, it is mainly because of my background and most of the astrological text comes from ancient scriptures. But, it does not mean that if you are not a Hindu, then you can't follow things enlisted. It is just that, you must continue your prayers to the almighty and add other things that I have listed. Narrating the spiritual literature in that concern is very important. If you would have watched Astro Uncle's program, you must have witnessed that he talks worshiping the Lord in whatever form you do or as described in your religion's text, besides doing other things. So, you can follow the things that I have said, without any hesitation, and they might come from ancient Indian scriptures, they are applicable to all humans (aren't we children of one God?).

Child Birth...10



The 8th month of pregnancy belongs to Ishta Devta. Frankly speaking, I am yet to decipher, conclusively, how to find one's Ishta Devta.


In one of the books that I read, said that Ishta Devta is based on the Atmakarak planet, the planet which represents your atma or soul. It is the planet, which in his residing home has traversed through maximum degrees as compared to other planets in their respective residing homes. For example, if Ju is at 29 degrees in Cancer and other planets (Mo in cancer 5 degrees, Sun in Leo 15 degrees, Mercury in Virgo 10 degrees etc.) then the Ju will be Atmakarak planet. Different deities as per this definition are as follows:


Sun - the Sun God or Gayatri Mata or strong form of Lord Vishnu - Lord Narsimha
Mo - One's own mother or any female deity such as Gowri Maa
Mars - Hanumanji or Lord Karthikeyan
Mercury - Lord Vishnu (mild form of Lord Vishnu - Lord Krishna or Lord Ram)
Jupiter - Lord Shiv
Venus - Gowri Maa
Saturn - Shanidev himself
Rahu - Durga Maa


People who watch astrological programs might argue the absence of Lord Ganesh here. Lord Ganesh rules Ketu, which is always as same degrees as Rahu, so in my humble opinion Ketu will be atmakarak if, it influences the ascendant or moon more strongly than Rahu does, along with having maximum degrees.


This was one approach.


Something which came to my mind after reading some texts etc. is stated as follows:
Lord Vishnu rules over the maintenance of the creation, so all planets which are primarily benefics, which enhance one's life to live it better will come under Lord Vishnu. For example, if your main planet is a benefic or your Moon is influenced by a strong benefic, it is very much possible that you will have a propensity towards Lord Vishnu. 


Lord Shiv rules the destruction and all malefics are primarily concerned with stopping the good life, hence, if your main planet is a malefic or your Moon or ascendant is strongly influenced by a strong malefic, then you will have a inclination towards Lord Shiv or Hanumanji.


Besides this, if your Venus, Moon or Rahu are particularly strong, and they influence the ascendant strongly, then, you might have a inclination towards the Supreme Female Deity, namely, Gowri Maa or Durga Maa.


While considering the above, we must also consider the 9th house in chart too. The 9th house in D9 must also be considered for influence.


One interpretation that I read in website LightOnVedicAstrology was as follows:


One more link that I found is as follows:


Another link, which states that Lord Vishnu, in his different forms can be Ishta Devta, for differnt planets, is as follows:


The interpretation of thr above doc that I found in one of the blogs is as follows:As per BhagyaSamhita rules, Atma Karaka is the planet that has the highest longitude in one's natal Chart. Atma Karaka in Navamsa is named the "Karakamsa". The 12th from the Karakamsacontrols the "IsthaDevata". The 12th house from the karakamsa is named the "Jivanmuktamsa". This is the house which suggests the freedom of the soul and thus we have to observe this house in order to find your IshtaDevata and if there is a Graha in the Jivanmuktamsa, it indicates the Devata. If there are more Grahas than one, we select the strongest. If there is no Graha in the Jivanmuktamsa, we can see whether any Grahas are inspecting the 12th. If no Grahas aspect it, we can take the 12th Lord as IshtaDevata.In the chapter called "kaarakaamsaphala" in BPHS(Brihat Parasara Hora Shastra), Parasara stated the deities adored based on the planets in the 12th from kaarakaamsha. For example, Sun in 12th from Atma Karaka shows a believer of Shiva and Moon in 12th from Atma Karaka shows a worshipper of MaaGouri.


Here are given the ruling deities for each planet who can be your IshtaDevata as per your Horoscope.


Sun - Vishnu, Rama, Shiva 
Moon - Krishna, Shiva, Parvati
Mars - Hanuman, Subramanya, Sri Narasimha
Mercury- Vishnu
Jupiter- Vishnu, Sri Vamana, Dattatreya, Sai Baba
Venus- Maha Lakshmi, Parashurama, MaaGouri
Saturn- ShaniDev, Hanuman, Kurma, Shiva, Vishnu
Rahu - MaaDurga, Varaha
Ketu - Ganesh, Matasya
Ascendent - Kalki


Last, and the mostly striking comment that I read in one of the forums was that Ishta Devta is the deity, towards whom you have the most natural inclination, so it can be any deity whom you worship with your whole heart is your Ishta Devta.
