Combinations for Love Marriage...4

14. Whenever Venus comes in your 5th house or aspects 5th house, you will have romantic outings with someone. Here I am talking about Venus in transit.

15. Moon also signifies romance (the word 'lunatic'). If Moon is also good along with Venus, the relationship will lead to marriage. The person will be capable of writing romantic poetry.

16. If Jupiter is involved along with Venus through exchange/conjunction etc., the person will be an ideal lover. If Jupiter is too strong, then he/she will expect his/her partner to be ideal too.

17. If Venus as the master of 5th, 7th or 11th is in exchange with master of 5th, 7th or 11th, the relationship will consummate in love marriage. In such a case ascendant must also be strong and unaffiliated with any malefic.

18. Benefic planets in 5th or 7th house and their lord in relation with strong Venus (exchange/conjunction/aspect) is the key for a successful love marriage.

19. Also, if Jupiter aspects Venus, the person will be an ideal lover. If the 7th house is also involved, the relationship will lead to marriage.

20. In all the above cases ascendant lord must be strong. If it is strong enough the native will have the strength to propose to his/her love. If a strong Mars is also involved, the native will be capable of demonstrating love in public. If Sun is also involved and positive, the native will be able to say out his/her love loud.

9. If Venus is present in ascendant along with the master of ascendant, love marriage is inevitable. Again, it is preferable that Venus is friend of ascendant (for example Gemini, Virgo, Capricorn, Aquarius). The person will someone loving at an early age and the relationship will go up to marriage.

10. If Moon is present in Taurus, Scorpio, Capricorn or Pisces, along with Venus, master of 7th or ascendant, the relationship can lead to marriage. 

11. When Jupiter is involved in the above factors, the marriage partner will belong to your own community.

12. When Rahu/Saturn is/are involved in the above factors, the marriage partner will be outside of your community.

13. If the ascendant lord is under the aspect of lord of 7th, your partner will love you a lot, will respect you for what you are and encourage you in everything that you undertake. Also, he/she will play an influencing role in your life.

Combinations for Love Marriage...2

4. When Venus sits in the first house, the native gets lot of attention from the people of opposite gender. In such a case, if Venus is a friend to the ascendant, there is a good chance that the relationship will culminate in marriage, otherwise, if Venus is enemy of the ascendant, then there might be several long and short relationships, which will just cause mental turmoil and go no where. 

5. When Venus is placed along with Moon or is present in the 5th house from the Moon, a relationship can culminate in marriage.

6. If the Venus as lord of 5th is in exchange/aspect with 3rd house along with a relationship between ascendant and master of 7th, the romantic relationship will lead to marriage.

7. If the Lord of 7th and ascendant are in a relationship by aspect/exchange/conjunction etc., the relationship will lead to marriage. Venus must also support this.

8. If the master of 7th sits in 5th house, there is a possibility of love marriage. 

to be continued...

Combinations for Love Marriage...1

I know this is quite an interesting topic to discuss. Many people who are in an affair/relationship would like to know about their future whether they will be able to get married to the partner of their choice. So here is what I have learnt from different sources. Note that these combinations just indicate a love marriage and do not ensure the marital bliss or stability of marriage there after. That is a further topic and depends on totally different factors.

1. Overall the benefics (Moon, Venus, Mercury and Jupiter) must be well placed. Atleast one of these must be well placed, preferably in center (houses 1,4,7,10) or corner (1,5,9). The Lord of the ascendant must also be strong.

2. Venus naturally signifies Love and Relationship. If it is the master of 5th house (the house of romance), it will give you a romantic nature and a good chance to indulge in romance in your life. 

3. If the Venus as the master of 5th house is present in 7th house, your romantic relationship will culminate in marriage, specially if master of 7th house is under aspect of/in conjunction with Venus.

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?).

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:

http://www.lightonvedicastrology.com/phpBB3_0/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=6565&start=0&hilit=ishta

One more link that I found is as follows:

http://www.swamiram.com/lj_articles/birthlord.php

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

http://docs.rohinaa.com/ishtadevata.pdf

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.

Even though these posts contain my studies from various sources, the major chunk comes from Mr. Pawan Sinha's lectures. Again a salute to the great Guru for sharing his knowledge.

Every month during the pregnancy period is governed by a particular planet out of the seven planets (leaving Rahu and Ketu) . The first month of pregnancy is ruled by Venus. For more details about Venus please see the following posts:

http://oneastrovedic.blogspot.com/2012/06/venusfor-love-and-family.html

http://oneastrovedic.blogspot.com/2012/06/update-on-venus.html

http://oneastrovedic.blogspot.com/2012/07/planets-hints4.html

If mother's Venus is weak, then in the first month, mother will experience some problems. It is very important to make her Venus strong, because first month is the most important month during pregnancy. 

Do the following such the Venus of the child is strengthened:

1. Husband and wife should clean their home worship place, or the place where  you keep idols, pictures of God!

2. Manage your home well. Keep all the things organized.

3. Spray fragrances in your home regularly, or light of incenses which emanate sweet smells.

4. Play light music in your home. 

5. Do a regular chanting of mantras such as Santan Gopal Mantra and/or Krishna Damodar Stotram.

Other remedies are listed in following posts:

Child Birth...2

As per SriRamCharitmanas(the story of Prince Ram; the condensed form of Ramayan), it is a very difficult period for a child, which is a living being, for the 9 months when it is in the mother's womb. We must not forget that it is a difficult and crucial time for the mother too. 

This is the time when the soul (within the baby, after the 4th month, more on this later) suffers and understands the agony of being in a closed space, totally dependent on the mother. During this time the soul remembers all the bad deeds that it committed in his/her earlier lives. Just imagine, for a moment that you are kept in a cage and there is nothing through which you can communicate with the outside world. You are given food but still you cannot speak out to anyone and have to be contended with what you have. Such is the state of a child in womb. 

The only thing which can pacify its pain is narration of some spiritual text. For example, the father can read the some text such as the ShreemadBhagwadGeeta to the child till it is in the womb, regularly. Note that the book can be any, depending on the faith you follow (such as The Bible, Qoran, Guru Granth Sahib or Zend Avesta), and it can narrate the speech of the Almighty or stories about the Lord. The point is to develop a spiritual propensity for the child.

This can definitely ease out pains that a child is going through. Now you might ask that what happens to the child's memory after taking birth. Does it not remember the events of previous life after that? Yes it does, but it can't speak, right? Then how will it convey them? Also, as per SriRamCharitmanas, the agony of the birth, which is painful, not only for the mother, but also for the baby, makes the baby forget the previous life events to a good extent. Rest of the memories are washed off by the time child turns 5. Also, there have been extraordinary kids who have narrated things from past lives.

 The point is that, during the gestation period of 280 days approximately, it is the father's and mother's onus to reduce the agony of child and as you would expect, there is just one way to alleviate the pains...remember the Lord.

All the best. From the next post I will start narrating the affects of planets on the child for 9 months.

Child Birth...1

http://oneastrovedic.blogspot.com/2009/12/introduction.html

I have been thinking of writing on this topic for long. I will try to cover every aspect that belongs to this topic starting from the primary act of having a child, i.e., from coitus to the things that can be done to have a brilliant child.

In today's world we need citizens who can work for the betterment of the society. Citizens who work not only for their community, society and country but also for the whole world. As the human society is advancing people are becoming more and more materialistic and hence selfish. Being materialistic and selfish is not bad until a person begins to harm others for his own success. This is bad. We need good people who can help others reform.

The first step towards having a baby is coitus. It can happen between any two individuals who are matured enough to nurture a baby and ready to take the responsibility of the baby. Please note carefully that this text is not a manual for enjoying coitus. It is not a re-write of any such book.

Following are some of the things a couple must undertake towards having a child with good planets:

1. Balance your own planets. This is valid for both parents. Prepare yourself mentally for this 'job'. Chant the Santan Gopal Mantra and Stotram regularly. Strengthen your main planet. See :

2. Girls who have a weak Jupiter must strengthen it. If you have problems related to hormones have yourself treated and also do stuff for strengthening Venus and balancing Mars. Girls must keep a poster of Lord Krishna sitting in Maa Yashoda's lap in their room and look at the lord as if He is her own child. They must worship Lord Krishna daily and offer him sweets.

3. Boys should work specially toward strengthening their master of 7th house, Venus and Jupiter.

4. Avoid coitus, specially when you are planning a baby, during:

a.) dawn time

b.) evening time

c.) day time - this specially weakens your Sun and also the child's Sun.

d.) when there is a special occasion going on in home

e.) Navratra time (twice a year)

f.) deepawali (amawasya) and holi (full moon) days and any other festivals and auspicious occasions.

g.) Solar and Lunar eclipses

These are the times when deities (the Devatas) are busy and they need energy from humans (humans chanting and conducting yajnas give them energy see ShreemadBhagwadGeeta Chapter 3 Shloka 10). So, it is preferable that we pay attention to them and not to our sensual pleasures.

Update on Venus

It is very important for girls to have a good Ve, because if they a Ve under aspect of a malefic such as Ma, bad Sa, Ra or Su (enemy of Ve), they can have problems related to female hormones, and can develop female problems and also problems related to child bearing. Also, the position and strength of 5th house is important in that concern.

One thing more which can be done is to have sabudana (sago seeds) preparation with makhane (Euryale ferox), mishri (a form of crystalline sugar)  and milk. Sabudana khichdi is considered very important for to be mothers. Google 'sabudana in pregnancy' and have a look at the results. Hence, the above preparation is very important for all girls to have.

More on motherhood and child bearing in a latter blog. 

Ve...continued!!!

Continued from my last post...

8. For guys who have a weak Ve and they want a good wife in their life they must chant the 24th verse of Argala Stotram 108 times daily starting from Navratra.

9. Girls must avoid wearing clothes which are revealing. They muct be particular about their dressing sense such that their innerwear is not visible. 

10. Dress up and wear sphatik (crystal) necklace with 108 beads. Wear a silver ring (disjointed) in the thumb. 

11. Donate money for temples and spiritual places. Donate milk on fridays to temples or young girls under 8.

12.  Develop a habit to listen to your wife, whatever she says, patiently. Respect her and display your love for her more often. Gift her gifts such as flowers, fragrances, chocolates, white sweets and dresses.

13. Develop good relations with foreigners if possible and also with your in-laws. Sun must be strong too for this. 

14. Wear different types of fragrances as possible, do this specially on Friday.

15. Males must avoid wastage of their Shukra elements, namely sperms and semen. Again, Ve punishes males for this, severely.

16. Try to travel to west in your life, atleast once in your life. West is the direction of Saturn, which is a great friend of Ve, so people with weak Ve are bound to rise in West, since Sa comes to rescue of Ve.

Better Venus, for love and family...

Following must be undertaken to appease Ve:

1. Worship any form of Divine Mother. She can be Maa Sita (Lord Ram's spouse) or Maa Parvati (spouse of Lord Shiv). Maa Lakshmi is also worshipped because she is considered as giver of wealth and prosperity.

2. Chant the 108 names of the Divine Mother, chant the Saptshloki Durga and Argala Stotram regularly, specially during Navratra and Fridays. Offer white sweets to the divine mother. You can also offer dry fruits too. Durga Saptashati (http://www.ambaa.org/pdf/devii_mahatmyam_2.pdf) must be read during Navratra.

3. For guys, respect your mother and wife. This is the first step towards improving your Ve. The more you care for these two females in your life more is comfort in your life. Even if I don't say this you can very much understand how bad your life can be if you fail here. But loving and respecting does not mean to become their slave, if that happens you will weaken Mars, and this is not desired.

4. For guys, respect women in all forms, even the female who deliver household jobs at your home. It is very important for guys because Ve punishes males more than females when guys fail to respect women.

5. Avoid having salt on Fridays. Also, distribute white sweets, fruits to children, specially girls below 8 years of age on Fridays.

6. Learn different types of arts e.g. drawing, stitching, singing etc. Learn to use a musical instrument. Learn to cook. The reason why women do these things easily is that they have such qualities inherenty built in them because of Shukra element in abundance.

7. Wear whites on Fridays. Donate grains on Fridays.

Venus...for love and family!!!

The planet Venus is known as Shukra in Vedic astrology. Sukra means "white", or "bright" in Sanskrit.  Venus is a first rate benefic in Jyotish (predictions). Venus rules over the two sidereal signs of Taurus and Libra. 

Venus is exalted in Pisces and in his fall in the opposite sign of Virgo. Venus is a karaka, or indicator of spouse(for males), love, marriage, comfort, luxury, beauty, prosperity, happiness, all conveyances, art, dance music, acting, healing and the saying of mantras. It also rules the elements necessary for child birth and progeny, namely - desire for companionship, interest in sex and the related organs and activities. The male part which combines to build the basic cell which develops into child is called Shukranu (the sperm or the atom of Shukra).  

Maharishi Parasara says that "Venus is charming, has a splendrous physique, is excellent or great in disposition, has charming eyes, is a poet, is phlegmatic and windy and has curly hair." Venus most  powerful position is in the 4th House and enjoys the Konas - 1, 5, and 9.. 

People who have Venus favorable position, have people from opposite gender flocking around them a lot. If a guy has Ve in first house, he can have several ladies roaming around him. But, for best of the results Ve must be friends to the Main planet. That is the case with Sa and Me and not with other planets. Still, Ve gives a person many artistic talents and the person has an attractive personality.
