The Navamansha Chart - D9...5

For reference to ninth house read the following post:

http://oneastrovedic.blogspot.com/2013/04/the-houses-of-your-vedic-charthouse-9.html

for 7th house...

http://oneastrovedic.blogspot.com/2013/03/the-houses-of-your-vedic-charthouse-7.html

So, coming to the nature of spouse. If the master of seventh house (Leo) in your D9 chart is Sun, then in that case your spouse will be authoritative. Your spouse will display properties bestowed by Sun, specially after marriage (that is the time when he/she starts affecting your life and vice versa). 

If your 7th house in D9 is Aries or Scorpio, in that case, your spouse will be someone interested in outdoor activities/sports etc. Even if he/she have been an indoor person till now, suddenly your involvement with him/her will give him interest in Martian activities. Magic right? It happens. 

Now, how lucky you will be for your spouse? For boys, again Venus is the main guy besides the 7th house of D9. For a girl it will Mars/Jupiter or both. So, if in the above case in Scorpio, Mars is also sitting their (in a girl's chart), then Mars is pretty strong in D9 and the girl will prove to be lucky for her husband. The person (her husband) will be very secretive (may be with secret affairs( and he will become more secretive after marriage. 

If the Mars is in Cancer, hence debilitated, the girl's husband will become too much of homebound and under the strong influence of his own mother. Hence, the master of 7th house in D9 chart must always be strong and well placed in a girl's chart (for her to be lucky for her husband) and also in boy's chart (for him to be lucky for his wife). 

Please note that 7th house in D9 chart indicates only the first serious affair/marriage in your life. For subsequent ones the equation changes.

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:

Marriage and its Stability...2

4. If the master of 7th house in D1 chart is weak, but in D9 it is strong, OR, the master of 7th house in D9 chart is strong, then the marriage might initially have some ups and downs, but slowly things will settle down.

5.In a girl's chart it is strength of Mars and Jupiter that actually determines the stability in marriage, besides the lord of 7th house. Same thing is valid for boys. They must have a good Venus such that their marriage is stable and they get support from their wife.

6. Just to take an example, if someone has Cancer ascendant, and with Mars sitting in first house, then the native will not feel settled in his/her married life till he/she turns 32. 

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. 

Combinations of Arranged Marriages...2

4. Mostly, an arranged marriage happens when the Lord of ascendant does not have any relationship with Lord of 7th house. This actually means that they must not be together in single house, must not aspect each other mutually, and must not be in exchange (which means that Lord of ascendant in 7th house and Lord of 7th house in ascendant). 

5. When the lord of the ascendant is in 9th house, lord of 9th house is in 10th house with 10th lord  and the 7th lord in 11th house then an arranged marriage takes place.

6. If lord of the ascendant is in 6th house in an exalted state and the lord of 6th house is in ascendant with the lord of 10th house then also an arranged marriage takes place for the native.

7. All the combinations must also be checked with D9 chart too.

Combinations of Arranged Marriages...1

Previously I have written posts on Love Marriage and its combinations. Following are the posts:

http://oneastrovedic.blogspot.com/2012/09/combinations-for-love-marriage1.html

http://oneastrovedic.blogspot.com/2012/10/combinations-for-love-marriage2.html

http://oneastrovedic.blogspot.com/2012/10/combinations-for-love-marriage3.html

http://oneastrovedic.blogspot.com/2012/10/combinations-for-love-marriage4.html

Now, since I have addressed this with so much of sincerity, methinks I must also address the combinations of Arranged Marriages too, which are still quite prevalent too, specially in India! So, with the marriage season on, and the new year commencing, here I go...

Also, note one more thing, even if you have got a very good partner in your love marriage, the factors on which the stability and happiness of individuals in the marriage depends on, they are completely different from the factors (or planets) which influence your marriage. This is one basic reason people complain that after marriage - 'you have changed'. I will write on that in later post.

1. None of the combinations in the above 4 posts must exist, sans the romance part, when your Venus aspects the 5th house or 11th house house of your chart! It only gives you temporary romance, unless supported by master of 7th, which can convert the relationship into love marriage! 

2. As said in the above posts, it is the master of 7th house which has the final say in your marriage prospects. We must also consider the lordship of 7th house of your D9 (Navamsha) chart. 

3. If the Lord of 7th house is in 3rd house, 6th house, 10th house, 11th house or ascendant,  then an arranged marriage takes place.

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. 

Combinations for Love Marriage...3

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.

to be continued...

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.

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.

Highs & Lows of planets

I am really sorry for being a bit late this time, in writing this account! Just got too
busy with life!
Today I will tell the highs & lows of the planets. They are as follows:
Sun - Aries (high), Libra (low), Leo(own & mool-trikona)
Moon - Taurus (high & mool-trikona), Scorpio(low), Cancer (own).
Mars - Capricorn(high), Cancer (low), Aries & Scorpio (own), Aries (mool-trikona)
Mercury - Virgo (high, own & mool-trikona), Pisces (low)
Jupiter - Cancer(high), Capricorn(low), Sagittarius & Pisces (own), Sagittarius
(mool-trikona)
Venus - Pisces (high), Virgo(low), Taurus & Libra (own), Taurus (mool-trikona).
Saturn - Libra(high), Aries (low), Capricorn & Aquarius (own), Aquarius
(mool-trikona)
For Rahu & Ketu, the highs, lows & mool-trikona & own houses are mooted, so I
am skipping that currently.
Whenever the planet in high, own or mool-trikona sign, it is considered as strong.
In low, it is weak or debilitated. A planet 'high, own or mool-trikona sign' also
with similar status 'high, own or mool-trikona sign' gives, in Navmansha
horoscope gives extremely good results. But, if a planet is high in main horoscope,
but weak in Navmansha might not give that much of good results!
Some important points:
1. The main planet, is bound to give good results to the individual. 2. The houses 1,4,7,10 are called Kendra (center) while 1,5,9 are called trikona
(triangle). 3. Natural beneficiaries are Moon(brighter cycle), Jupiter, well placed Mercury
(with another benefic), Venus. According to BPHS, Ketu is also a benefic. Others
are natural malefics.4. If a malefic owns a Kendra, its negative affects are reduced significantly!5. If a benefic owns a Kendra (besides first house), it does not do much of good!
All the planets can be strengthened by using certain behavioural methods.
I will cover that up in coming sessions!
Bye for now!

Some Leftovers!

Shree Ganeshay Namah
In my last post I told about your main planet & its importance. Today, before
sifting into the topic more I would like to give some more insights (which I
indicated in brackets yesterday).

Aspecting - All planets aspect the 7th house (or bhava) from them. It means that
they have an equal presence in the 7th place to their current location. E.g.
Consider a horoscope of Sagittarius Ascendant. If Venus is present in 6th house (in
its own house Taurus). Then it will aspect or display its complete presence (?) in
the 12th house (which is 7th from 6th) too, in the Scorpio.
Besides the above rule there is an additional rule for Jupiter, Saturn & Mars.Jupiter has full aspect on 5th & 9th house to its current location besides the 7th.
Saturn has it on 3rd and 10th besides 7th & Mars has it on 4th & 8th besides 7th.
For Rahu & Ketu (these 2 guys do not have physical presence, they are addressed
as lunar nodes), the aspecting is same as the planet they are associated with or it is
like Jupiter.
If you are serious enough to judge your horoscope now open up
http://www.planetarypositions.com/birthchart.html, enter pertinent details (time
zone for India is 5:30) & get it!
Whatever the number the written in the upper central box (9 in case of the figure
with Jupiter, its master as the main planet), it is called the first bhav (first house)
of the horoscope. The rest of the houses are counted leftwards (anti-clockwise)
giving houses 2,3,4...12. Each house has its own traits which will come later on!
How judge any planet(specially main planet) is strong in horoscope? If a planet is at its high (later), mool-trikona house(later), own house(last post) or
friends house(later), it is considered as favourable to the individual. If the planet is
aspecting any of the above, then also it is good! E.g. a strong Venus in own house
& a strong Moon in its high with aspects from Jupiter & Mercury (the good guys)
can bestow the individual with a love marriage!
That's enough for today!

Enjoy & live happily!

Your Main Planet

Shree Ganeshay Namah

I am back again trying to share the knowledge that I have gained over the past 8-9 months. Even though I am just a neophyte in this business (not commercial) of horoscope reading, I have been quite successful in bringing hopes & smiles back on the faces of dismal people. Yes, my predictions are, kind of, coming true. I am happy that God gave me this gift of learning things related to Astrology so quickly!

Coming back to horoscopes, I am a North Indian, hence I have learnt this style. The South Indian style, even though the original style as indicated by the older texts, has been abandoned by North Indians long ago.

The North Indian horoscope consists of 12 boxes containing numbers (representing the zodiac signs). The number written in upper central box denotes your Lagna Rashi(ascendant) & its master is your main planet. The Main Planet (or the Mukhya Graha) actually represents you as a person! Its strength will denote how successful, good-looking you will be in your life. The planets situated in first box + the planets aspecting(what it means will come later on) it, will also have a deep influence on the individual. 

For each of the Zodiacs I have listed below the main planet hence:-

1. Aries (1) and Scorpio (8) - Mars
2. Taurus (2) and Libra (7) - Venus
3. Gemini (3) and Virgo (6) - Mercury (the above example)
4. Cancer (4) - Moon
5. Leo (5) - Sun
6. Sagittarius (9) and Pisces (12) - Jupiter
7. Capricorn (10) and Aquarius (11) - Saturn

The number in bracket indicates the sign which is present in upper center. For example, the given chart has Mercury as the main planet. If number 7 or 2 were written in the upper center, then the main planet would have been Venus.

The Main planet is bound to give good results to you unless it is extremely badly placed or debilitated (I will come to this later). You should always try to strengthen your main planet if you wanna be extremely successful in your life!

An important point, if your main planet is present within the sign e.g. main planet is Jupiter residing in Sagittarius Lagna or just opposite to it (in Gemeni), that person is bound to be extremely lucky (lest some major defect in horoscope affecting adversely). E.g. Sachin Tendulkar is born with Virgo ascendant with Mercury (its master) in Pisces aspecting it.

Bye for now, God Bless & take care!

Introduction

Shree Ganeshay Namah 

Well, I begin writing this blog dedicated to the subject of Vedic Astrology. But before anything else, I just wanted to narrate how I arrived at this point of writing a blog. I have been studying different forms of Astrology since I was in class 11. At that time I started off reading about Numerology, which deals with birth numbers and all. I did not sift too much into the subject except the basics. I gradually moved towards hand reading or chiromancy, as people might know about it. 

My parents were not very encouraging of my interest in Astrology. But, I kept on collecting my pocket money to buy heavy books on Hand Reading. Unfortunately, I never had much of chance to display my talent before any audience, due to inexplicable circumstances. For some years I kept to my mind that Horoscope reading is far more difficult as compared to Hand Reading. I WAS WRONG! 

Atleast this is what I believe in now! 

Well, this year February(2009( I was watching television with family. I knew that there were programmes on TV displaying people's horoscopes & explaining remedies to them, but I never had any propensity towards them. For the first time I was watching TEZ channel with Astro Uncle (Mr. Pawan Sinha). I was mesmerized the way he was explaining things & his take off was different as compared to other guys. I had been going thru some crises in my life too & I decided to take some basic steps that he explained (since I, kind of knew what could be the problem with me). 

In April, I followed up on another suggestion that he gave on his programme. Well, that suggestion of his, has, kind of changed me a lot more than I could have imagined. I was going through extreme pessimism in my life during that time & yes, now I am quite a changed person now. Even though I am still not (very) satisfied with my life, I am gradually moving towards spirituality & truths of life. 

Finally, I bought a book on Vedic Astrology on Horoscope Reading in July, 2009 which cleared me of several doubts. Till now, I have read 2 more books - not very deeply still (namely Uttar Kalamrit by Kalidas and Brihat Parashar Hora Shastra by Maharishi Parashar). The second book is said to be a dialog between Lord Shiv & Mata Parvati which was told by Lord Brahma to Maharishi Parashar. I have also learnt the astrology from Pawan Sinha on TV, of course. 

Now, I have decided that I will start sharing my knowledge through this blog of mine. I will write more in my next entry! So, please watch over this space if you are reading it now! This subject is truly intriguing, you will see! 

Just to start off - your most favourable colour in case of your main planet (or mukhya graha) :- 

Sun - Bright shining Red 

Moon - Dull glowing White 

Mars - Red (wearing this is favourable if Mars is placed well in your horoscope, else refrain from wearing this or keeping it) 

Mercury - Green (as of grass) 

Jupiter - Yellow 

Venus - Bright White 

Saturn - Lamp Black (wearing this is favourable if Saturn is placed well in your horoscope, else refrain from wearing this or keeping it) 

Rahu & Ketu are shadow planets & produce results as per the planets they are associated/aspected with. 

Colours for them are :-

Rahu - Dark Blue 

Ketu - Orange 

A request - Please correct me if I go wrong somewhere! Thanks a lot!

Probably this can help you understand more about this blog:
