Nakshatras
This table shows further information regarding the 27 Nakshatras or stars. The main information regarding the stars appears in the preceding table. The ~ symbol used in the Sex column indicates neuter, or no sex/gender classification applies to this sexless star. In the Caste column, the terms used are from the Vedic Varna-Ashrama System of classifying persons by their qualities and work propensities. Below are some brief descriptions to help the person unfamiliar with Varna-‐Ashrama Dharma and the caste classifications: Brahmin the highest class-‐ priestly, saintly, learned, reliable, clean, respected Kshatriya The warrior caste, government officers, officials, kings, leaders Vaisya mercantile, businessperson, landlord, money-‐oriented person Sudra the skilled worker who serves Brahmins, Vaisyas and Kshatriyas Servant simple worker, no skills, no family tree, does any work Lower low standards, no matter what work, don't follow any religious
principles Butcher Vicious, killer, meat eater, non-‐scriptural persons Lowest Those who are opposed to the Vedic systems, the demonic Varna means ones caste, or work classification in society, and Ashram means one's stage of life, ranging from student life, to married life, to later marriage/partial renunciation, to full renunciation. The Caste classifications refer only to the Varna part of the system. In the Bhagavad Gita, Sri Krishna describes how He, the Supreme Lord, is the source of the natural and omnipresent caste system. It is natural to find those who are educated and caring in positions of leadership, those who are martial in positions of enforcement, those who are money oriented running businesses, and those who are none of the above serving the above. These are the Brahmin, Kshatriya, Vaisya and Sudra. In direct translation, the priest, the warrior, the businessman and the worker. However, it is understood that these four top classes are following religious principles like honesty and cleanliness. Below the worker class, or sudras, there are the outcastes. They are out because they choose to live outside the directives of the Vedic religious systems meant for regulating the health of human society. Because they are unrestricted in their

Fateful Degrees of the planets in signs (Mrtyubhagas) Several of the classical works including Jataka Parijata, Sarvartha Cintamani and others have listed degree points in the signs which are specifically evil for the planets involved and indicate death to the native when a Muhurtha, birth, or other point are under consideration.

Elemental Lords Although all the planets and signs have elemental control and affect functionality, the 5 main elements in themselves are overlorded as follows. Ether can be understood as space devoid of all other substances.
House Names, Significators (Bhavas and Bhava Karakas) The Bhavas or houses have Karakas or significators which hold sway over the affairs of that house, no matter whether they lord the house or not, and no matter where they are in the chart. For example, Jupiter is the 5th house Karaka. As such, he has sway over the affairs of the 5th house, such as children, no matter where he is in the chart and no matter which houses he lords. Some of the houses have more than one Karaka.

Places of strength for planets The following table lists the places where each of the planets gains strength or prefers to be located so as to give strong results. Keep in mind that if a planet is at the very beginning of a house, then it has very little strength and even the below conditions will not make it strong.

18 Vedic Astrology Reference
1 The Riksha Sandhis are the 3 places in the zodiac where both a star and a sign change takes place at the same point in the zodiac. This takes place at the end of the water signs Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces. Therefore, the last quarters (padas) of Ashlesha, Jyeshta and Revati are considered very bad places for the moon to be for all purposes. 2 The passages, whether Northern or Southern, refer to when the planets pass in their ecliptics either above (Nothern) or below (Southern) the equator.
Removal of malefic effects Certain planets can remove the malefic effects caused by other planets. This the various planets can do when endowed with sufficient dignity or strength. As you go down the following list, each successively listed planet can, to the degree that it is endowed with strength, remove the evils caused by all of the planets preceding it in the list. Again, the key here is how much strength the planets are endowed with. To this end, the Shad Bala system should be consulted. In order of their ability to cancel all the preceding planet's malefic effects: Rahu Mercury Saturn Mars Venus Jupiter Moon Sun (especially when in his northern course)
Wakefulness of planets Planets have states of wakefulness, dreaming and sleeping. These states are another way of understanding the effects of a planet's placement. The following table shows where planets are awake, dreaming, and sleeping. Awake.......... Exaltation............Own signs ............Own Vargas
Tables 19
Dreaming ....Friendly Signs.....Friendly Vargas Sleeping .......Enemy Signs .......Enemy Vargas......Debilitation
Body parts rulership The parts of the body are ruled in part by the Drekkanas, or one third divisions of the houses. The following table shows which drekkanas rule which body parts. Important Note: If the lagna falls within the first decanate (drekkana) of the sign, then the order shown below is followed in terms of the 1st, then 2nd, then 3rd drekkanas. Otherwise, if the rising angle falls in the 2nd drekkana of the sign involved, then the 2nd rules what is listed under "1st" below, and the 3rd rules what's listed under the "2nd" and the 1st rules what's listed under "3rd" below. Thus, the drekkana in which the ascendent falls is the true "1st", and the other two follow suit, in a rotating fashion.
The use of the above chart is as follows for example: If a malefic planet occupies a certain drekkana, then there will be an ulcer or wound on the location indicated as above. A benefic aspect on the same drekkana will reduce it to only a spot and not an ulcer. The nature of the planets can indicate the origin of the troubles. This is only one example of the uses of the above.

Exaltations and Mulatrikonas This table shows the exaltation, mulatrikona, own, and debilitated positions for the planets. The places assigned as exaltation, own, etc., for Rahu and Ketu are not agreed upon or listed in all the standard classics as the same.

Combustion This table shows the distances from the Sun where combustion begins to take place for each of the planets. Combustion greatly weakens the planets ability to act. Some planets have a different figure for when they are retrograde, or moving backwards. All figures mean "when within this distance from the Sun". For example, when the Moon is within 12" from the Sun, it begins combust, or weakened by the effulgence of the Sun. Planet

Sun's Movements through Signs The Sun moves through the zodiac in 365.25 days and since the Western calendar is based on this rotation, the days upon which the Sun enters the 12 signs are regular as shown below. (It is interesting to note that, in America, tax collection day is on April 15, when the Sun, Karaka for Government, has just entered it's zone of exaltation. ) The Sun is in:

Friendships of Planets This table shows the natural friendships and enmities between the planets. These are the permanent situations between the planets and are useful in many situations of judgement in Vedic astrology. However, friendships are adjusted for each rising sign as well. As for Rahu and Ketu, some texts count Jupiter, Venus and Saturn as their friends.

Tables 25
Planetary Aspects The following table shows the aspects of the planets. Note that not all texts agree on the aspects cast by Rahu and Ketu. Also, most astrologers do not use any of the aspects less than 100% in their practice. However, because the sastras give the other aspects, we have listed them here. The numbers listed stand for the houses from the planet aspected. For example, in the case of Mars, it casts it's 100% aspect upon the 7th, 4th and 8th houses from itself. In all cases in astrology, you begin counting from the house where the planet resides as 1, The house next to it as 2 and so on up to 12.

Dwadasamsha Meanings The following table gives meanings for the 12-fold divisions of the signs. The idea is that each house or sign can be further divided by 12, and like the houses themselves, the 12-fold divisions of the houses have their own sub-meanings as shown here. The table gives the house, then the degrees of that house framing each 12th division, and then the karakatwa or significance of each division. The From and To numbers are in degrees and minutes. For example, 2.31 means 2º 31', or 2 degrees and 31 minutes.

Indian lunar months This table shows the names of the months used in India. The first column is the common name used by most of India. The second is the names applied by the Vaisnavas, and as used by the Gaudiya Vaisnavas of Bengal. Also, the Vaisnavas (along with other sectionos of India) begin the lunar months not on the new moon, but rather on the full moon. Thus, months may begin a fortnight later in some sections of the country.

Tables 33
Tithi Names (Lunar days) This table shows the names of the lunar days of the months. These lunar days are known as tithis. The lunar month is divided in two parts- the waxing or growing half, and the waning or shrinking half. The bright half is known as shukla and the dark half as krishna. Since there are only 15 tithis, they repeat in each half of the month. Thus, to identify a day you need to say 3 things- the tithi, the month, and the half of month. For example, the 11th day of the dark half of the month of Kartika would be known as ekadasi kartika krishna. The tithis have been associated with certain acts which are listed below. This is in no way conclusive or restrictive. The subject of muhurta or day-selecting astrology is much more complicated than this listing . The main purpose of this listing is to give the names of the tithis. Tithi
