Forward Shri Chandrakan t R. Bhatt B.A.LL.B. is a zealous resea rch student

o f Astro logy. He has writt en severa l books on Astrology. Origill:1l1y he was an advocate of Sayana system of Astrology popularly known as Weste rn system , Some seven yea rs back during his frequent visits to me, we had a good deal o f d iscussion about the heauties and accuracy of Nirayana system of Astrology or Indian Astrol ogy. He gradually turned his a ttention to the study of Nirayaml system of Astrology and to- day he has become an ardent advocate o f Hind u Astrology.

'Nakshatra Chimamani' is his further contribution in the field of Astro logy. Nakshatras (Conste llations) play important role in tho;: lie ld of, not onl y pred icti ve si de of Astrology bu t also in all the rd igious ce remonies of the Hi ndus.

The Vimshotlllry Dasha system in tim ing events advocated by the great Parashar is based on constellat ion and its sub di visions. For pe rfectly j udging the st rength or weak ness of a house and it s lo rd the Astrologer has to ta ke into consideration the sign and the constellation and it s sub di vision, for then only he can evaluate the physical (Sthula) , the astral (Sukshma ) and Casual (Karan) strength and weak ness of the s ign and its lord. Thus the 12 signs of the Zodiac arc divided into 249 divisions of the 27 constellations. The (:ffec! of any planet can be judged well if we know the place ment in tf ~ horoscope, o f the lord of the house, the lord o f the conste~'ation and the lord of the sub division of the constellation it is placed in. Thus a planet is controlled by the lord of the sign, the lord of the constellation and the lord of the sub division of the constellation. For the last thousa nd years or mo re the Northern part of India was constantl y invaded by the invaders from Central Asia. Greal centres of learning in the North were plundered and valuable literatures were reduced to ashes. Fortunately the remote Southern part of India was saved from the plunders of these invade rs and the families of the great scholars of th e South preserved the rich heritage of knowledge including knowledge of Astrol ogy propounded by great Rishes of India.

With th e passage of lime consteli a tion;}1 Astrology bc(.'a m(' a fam ily secret of the A!;troiogcrs in the Soul h and th ere wa s lill ie li te rature in the form of books available fo r the general mass of the st udents of Astro logy.

Sh ri Gopa l Krishna Rao of Madras has written three parts of Nad i Astrology. Shri Seetaram Sharma of Bangalore has also writlen a hook entitled ' A GatCII'OY (0 Astrology'. The fam il y members of the great Shri 8. Suryana rayana Raa of Bangalorc the found er o f 'As trological lvfagad ll (!' and pa r ticularly Shri B. V. Raman the prince among A~t ro logers and the prese nt edito r of 'Astrological Maga~ille ' who has established the genuineness of ~Iind ll Astro logy ,IS a perfect sc ience not only in Ind ia but a lso in the world h;lVc brought Astrol ogy to the reach of the stU{h.:nt~ of Astrology.

The late Jyotish Martand Shri K. S. Krishnamurti of Madr as has also eOnlributcd greatly to the spread of the knowledge or wnstclla l ionnl A~tmlogy not only by publishing boo ks and Ihi! maga zine' ASfrolflgy and Alhrisllto' hut also by moving in evc ry important corner of India and lec turing on cons tell at io n:d Asr ro los-y. He has termed thi s conslellation al Astro logy as Krishn:nllu rti Paddhati and which according to him is thc on ly perfect Paddhati (system). This cla im of the late Jyotish Mart and Silri K. S. Kri shnamurti has created a good deal o f controversy rcg:Hd ing its efficacy and perfectness . But in my humble opinion th e Pacldhati (method) is the accumulation of the essential preachings (,r th e gr:.!!tt Paf:l~her . Gai mini, Mantreshwar. Gancsh Divagn". Ramuaya lu Varahm ihir. Kalidas and host of other astro loge rs of the pa~t and il deserves considerations a nd furlher research 10 eradi clII C its short com ings.

Much hidden knowletige of Astrol ogy yet remains to be dug. out. Shri B. V. Raman. the lea rned and th e world renowned editor of 'Astrological Magazine' has been do ing great service to t he wo rld of Atrology by procuring manusc ripts oC thi5 sCIence and making them public.

Inscrtlne .be Signs and the PJllnel'i

I. The beginning point or each house is called the Cusp. The signs and degrees should be written down on the emps or the houses in the blank map. In the example birth horoscopc no. I Cnpricorn 12" 25' is placed on the cusp or the 1st housc i.e. Asc. Aquarius 19~ 44' on the cusp or the 21ld house and so o n. In thi s Wly the s igns and degree s on all the 12 cust'S or the houses hJ.Ve heen wri tten d n '.\':l.

2. (a) The cusp of the 3rd house begin~ with Pisces 250 44', nut th e longitudcs or Moon and Rahu in Pisces are 2J ~ 49 ' and 24" 36' respectively. They are less than the cuspal degree o f the 3rd house. So they are pJ~ced beh ind the cuspa! degrce of the 3rd house and they ma y be considered as posited in the 2nd house. If a planet is within 5" of the cuspal degree of a housc, it exerts its influence on both th e houses. In this c

3

Similarly Saturn in Taurus 7 30' is placed behind Taurus 21 28' th e cusp o f the 5th house and it is said to be in the 4th -house .

Ma rs in Leo 140' is placed behind Leo 1944' the cusp of the 8th house and it is said to be in the 7th house.

Kctu in Virgo 2436' is placed behind Virgo 2544' the cusp of of the 9th house and it is on the cusp of the 91h house. So Ketu will exert some 'influence on the 8th house and some on the 91h house.

Jupiter in' Scorpio 14"2' R is placed behind Scorpio 21 28' the cusp of the I Ith house and it. is said to be in the 10th hou ie.

(b) The cusp of the 6th ho use begins Wilh Gemini 1544', But the longitudes of Sun and Venus in Gemini are 2r 3J' and 2300' respecti vely. They are grea ter t h~ n the cuspal degree of the 61h house . So they are placed in fro nt o f Gemini 1 5-~44 ' and they are sa id to be in th e 6th house.

Similarly Mercury in Cancer I r2' is placed in front of Cancer 12"25' the cusp of the 7th hou se and it is said to be in the 7th house,

3. All th e houses in the horoscope a re not of equal dimensions. The house may be less or greater than 30 degrees. Sometimes one house may contain more than olle sign. Such a sign is termed as 'Intc:rcepled.

In til e example birih horoscope no. I the 5th house commences from Taurus 21 28' and ex tends uplO Gemini 15 44'. So the 5th house is of 24 16' dimensio n.

.

The 71h house begins with Cancer 12 25' and end ~ at Leo 19 44'. So the 7th house consists of 37 19' and so on with ot her houses.

The Zodiac of 360a is divided int o three eq ual parts. Each part con tain s 120", It consists of nine equal Sectio ns. Each !'ection contains ])0 20' o r 800', I t begins from 0" Aries. Each section is kn("wn as Naksha tra or Constella tion or Slar. There are 27 Naksha tras or Constell a tions or Sta rs in the whole Zodiac.

10 Tables A, B, C & 0 explained

The table A is In eant for Aries, Leo a nd Sagi narius; the ta ble fo r Tau rus, Virgo and Capricorn : th e (ahle C for Gem ini, Li br:l and Aquari us and the tahle 0 f0r Cancer, Scorpio and Pi sces.

In the he ginning of ea ch table Ih~ StUl' area of each planet in each sign is given e .g. in the ta ble A Ketu Slar area exte nd s fro m 0'" to 13" 20' in Aries or Leo or Sagi tt ari us a nd in the tables B an j C Mars star arca extcilds fro m 23'2)' Taurus or Virgo or Capric()fIl to 6"40' Gemini o r Li bra or Aquarius and so 0 11 with o ther Ha l" areas.

Each table contains fo ur main columns. The co lumn I contains Sign , Sign Lord & Serial no . Sign viz. Aries is written fi rst. Sign Lord viz. Mars is marked be low Aries . Se ria l no. v iz. I \(J 22 is mentioned belo w Mars and so on with the o ther Si ltn. Silln

l ord & Serial no .. The Colu mn 2 shows th e Star Lord. The Colu lllil 3 the Sub Lord

and the Column 4 cOllta ins Ihe commencing posit ion o r each S ub l ord in the Star a rea or each planet .

Example. In the t able A in the Star area Ketu in Aries or Leo o r Sagitta rius the Sub or Ketu begins from O~ 0 ' 0" and ends al O~ 46' 40". So the Sub or Venus start s a t 0 46' 40" , add 2 13' 20" (Sub an~a or Venus) and you gel the starting position of Sun Sub at r 0 ' 00" , add 0 ' 40' 0" (Sub area or Sun), ,hen the Sub of Moon ~tarts at 3" 40' 0" in Aries or Leo or Sagiuarius. Re peat thi.. procedure a nd the ..::ommencing I)os ition ror all Subs in ea ch st ar in cach Sign will be obtained.

149 Subs and 'hdr Serial I/O .S 27 stars have been sub divided into 243 subs. Rerer to the rabi es

A , B. C and D : in six cases the same sta r and the same sub will b .:: found in the adjoining signs e .g. Sun Sta r Rah u Sub in Aries or Leo or Sagittarius 29~ 13' 20" to 30" (Ta ble A) cont inue in Taurus or Virgo o r Ca pricorn upto 10 13' 20" (Table B).

Jupiter stilT Moon s ub in Ge mini o r libra o r AqUar ius 29" 26 ' 40" to 30~ (Table C) continue in Cance r or Scorpio o r Pisces upto 0" 33' 20" (T,bl, DJ .

Take these si.'( subdivisio ns in to (lCcou nt and you will get ::!49 s ubdi visions in a ll. Thus th e Zod iac is divided into 249 parts . Eac h part has been given a ser ial num be r.

1n Aries the seria l no. starts rrom 1 and ends a t 22; in Tau rus from 23 to 41 ; in Gemini rrom 42 to 62: in Cancer from 63 to 83 and 111 Leo from 84 to 105 and so on. Each seri a l no. mentions the sign. the sign lord . the star lord , the sub lord and the commenciAg pOii tion of eac h sub. The sign lord remains constan t fo r the whole "ign. These no.s arc very useful ill erecting hora ry maps. This wi ll oe discussed later on.

11

From these tables you can say that each degree and minute of the Zodiac is ruled by the sign lord. the star lord and the sub lord . IL\ othe r word~. it can be sa id that each degree and minute is jointly ruled. governed or operated by three planeu. out of which one becomes the sign lord , the other is the star lord and the third is the sub lord .

For instance in the Table A Ih.e s! rial no. 6 shows that Aries 5~ 33' 20" is jointly ruled or governed or operated by Mars (as the sign lord); by Ketu (as the star lord) and by Ranu (a~ the sub lord) ,

The serial no. 98 indicates that Leo 20" 6' 40" is jointly operated by Sun {as the sign lo rdi, by Vellu ,> (a.s the star lord) and. by Jupiter (as the sub lord I.

5. SignitL:.~ators in thdr order

In th~ horoscope the sign is on the cusp of each house. i\ planet always occ upies the Sig ll and it~ strength is determined lu:cording as it occupiL:s its OWI1 sign. exalted sign or debi li tated sign. So the occllpanl in a sign is stronger than the owner of the sign.

The sign i:o, the 1/12111 pari or the Zodiac, while the Constellation or Star is the 1/27lh pan of the Zodiac. So the Constellation or Star is stronger than the s ig)].

Hence the planet in the: s tar is sll"O llger than ils Star lord (which may be either the ocCupall( Of ilh~ owner of the sign) ,

The occupant (planet) in ;! sign mostly gives the results of till: hOllse occupied hy it . So the planet in the star b(,ttcr gives the results of the hOllse oculpied hy its star lord.

Keeping these principles il l mind the order or strength of the signilieators of each house should bc determined as under: Pl:mct in the oC~lIpant's star

A p!a l'e\ in the star or [he llCCllP:~I1. t of a house is stronger than the occ upant. So it should be giv.::n tirsl preference as a significHtol" of that house. because it is strongest to give the results of the house occLlpicd by its Star lord. Tile occlIplmt remaills as a weak signilicHtor of that hOllse.

In the example birth horoscope no. I. S:,\UrIl is thc occupant or the 4th house. Mercury and Jl1piter arc in the star of Saturn the occupant. So they aTe stronger than their star lo rd Saturn. because they are the strongest to give the results of the 4th house. Hence Mercury and JlIpiter an:: thc strong signifieators of the 4th and Saturn is a weak significator. Occupant

If there is no planet ill the occupant's Star. the occupant becomcs the strong signifk:ltor of th at hOllse ilnd it is strong to give tllc results of that hOllse. So the second preferencc shou ld be given to-the occupant of that housc.

In the ex

17

Tn the example birth horosco pe no. I, the ltd and the 12th houses are vacant. Jupiter is the owner of these houses. Sun and Venus 8tc.in the star of Jupiter the owner. So they are stronger than their Star lord Jupiter to give the tesults of the led and the 12th. Hence Sun and Venus are the strong significators of the houses 3 and 12, while Jupiter is a weak significator. Owaer

If the house is vacant and if there is no planet in the owner's star, the owner itself becomes the strong significator of that house a nd it is strong to give the results of that house. So the 4th preference should be given to the owner of that house.

In the example birth horoscope no. I, the 5th house is vacant. Venus is the owner of the 5th.. There is no planet in the star of Venus the owner. So Venus becomes the strong significator of the 5th house and it is strong to give the results of the 5th ho use. Planet Ja Conj. or Aspect

(a) A planet in conj. or association with, or aspected by a significator gives the results of the house or houses denoted by that significator . So the last preference should be given to the pl anet in conj . or aspect with that significator.

In the example birth horoscope no . I , Sun is in conj. with Venus the significator of the 5th ho use (as discussed above). So Sun \Io'il\ give the results of the Sth house as denoted by Venus the significator.

Moo n and Rahu are aspected by Jupiter the significato r of the 4th house (as already discussed). So botb Moon and Rahu will give the results of the 4th house as denoted by the significator Jupiter.

(b) A planet aspecting the house may be considered as the significator o f that house.

In the examp.le birth horoscope no. I , Saturn aspects the 7th, II th and 2nd cusps. So it becomes the significator of these houses. Similarly Jupiter aspects the lrd, Sth and 7th cusps. So it becomes the significator of these houses and so on with other planets.

Hence it may be said that planets e.g. Mercury and Jupiter in the ' Star of Saturn will indicate the matters of 2, 7 and 11 and so o n with other planets.

So they a rc strong to give {he result s of these houses and so on.

6. Rahu & Ketu and lh~ir significance 1. Rahu-Ketu as agent

Rahu or Ketu is not allotted the ownership of any sign. It only occupies the sign in a house. So Rahu or Ketu works as an agent or representative of :

(a) the planet with whom it is in conj. or aspect. (b) the owner of tbe sign in whicb it is placed. Example birth horoscope no. 1 .' (a) Rahu occupies the hOllse 2,

it is in conj. with Moon which owns 7 and occupies 2. So it will work as an agent cf Moon and it will signify the matters of the houses 2 and ,7.

. .

Rahu is aspected by Mars which owns 4, 11 and occupies 7. So if will indicate the matters of the houses 4, 7 and II as all agent of Mars.

19 Rahu occupies Pi, ces the sign owned by Jupiter and it is also

3spected by Jupiter which owns 3, 12 and occupies 10. So as an agcnl of Jupiter it will denote the matters of 3, 10 and 12 .

(b) Ketti occ upies the house 8, it is aspeeted by Moon which owns 7 and occupies 2. So it will signify the matters of 2 and :7 as an a!cnt of Moon and also of 8.

~

Ketu occupies Virgo the sigll oWlled by Mercury which owns 6, 9 and occupies 7. So it will sign ify the mailers of 6, 7 and 9 as an agent of Mercury.

2. Rahu-Kctu as )'Iane( Keeping in view the above rule and the rule that a plallet gives

the results indicated by its Star lord , \',Ie may say th ilt Rahu or Kctu gives firstl y, the results of the planet in conj. with it; second ly. the results o f the planet aspcct ing it : thirdl y, the res ults or it s own star lo rd an d fo urth ly, the results of the owner o f the sign occ up ied by il.

Example birtl/ horoscope 110 . I : (a) As Rahu is ill conj. with Moo n, it \vi ll firs tl y d eno te the res ults o f Moon i.e. the mallers signified hy the hOLlses 2 and 7.

Suppose Rahu is not in conj. or aspect with any planet, then Rahll will indicate the res lilts of its Star lord Mercury i.e. the malle rs signified by the houses 6, 7 and 9.

(h) Kelu is not in conj. with any planet, bul it is aspected by Moon. So it will give the resu lt s of Moon.

3. Rallu-Ketu as Star lord If any planet is in the Star of Rahu or Ketu, thai planet will

sigllify the matters of the house occupied by Rahu or Ketu; that planet will indica Ie the matters of the house owned and occupied by the Star lord of Rahu or Ketu ; that planet will denote the matters of the house occupied and owned by the owner of the sign occupied by Rabu or Ketu.

Example birth horoscope 110. 1 .' (al The planet Mars is in the star of Ketu which occupies 8. So Mars will give the results of the house 8.

(b) The Star lord of Ketu is Mars which occupies 7, owns )~ and 11. So the planet Mars will give the results of the houses 4, 7 and 11. :y.3

(c) Ketu occupies Virgo the sign owned by Mercury occupies 7, owns 6 and 9. So the planet Mars will give the ofr: tlr& lhouses 6, 7 and 9.

4. Rahu-Keta as SigaifiClltor Rahu or Keto is stronger than any planet. So, if Rahu or Ketu

represents any significator planet, Rahu-Ketu should be given first preference as a significator in place of that significator planet.

Example birth horoscope no. J: Rahu represents Moon, Mars and Jupiter. So when we have to consider Moon, Mars or Jupiter as a significator of the matter under consideration, Rahu should be given first preference as a significator in place of Moon, Mars or Jupiter.

Similarly, Ketu represents Moon and Mercury. So Ketu should be preferred as a significator in place of the significator Moon or Mercury.

5. Rahu and Ketu are not to be treated as retrograded planets, bec~use their natural movement is in the opposite direction.

7. General Strength of a Planet

Strength by house I. A planet mostly gives the results of the house occupied by

it and its owner comes next in order.

2, Of the houses the angles stand first in strength, next the succeedents and then the cadents.

3. The owner of the house 6, 8 or 12 (as counted from any particular house to be judged) becomes weak, evil or malefic in effects. Strength by sign .

I. A planet is strong when it is in its own or exalted sign. It is weak or afflicted in its detriment or fall (debilitated) sign.

2. The nature of the sign (e.g. cardinal or movable, fixed, or common or mutable; fiery, earthy, airy or watery; fruitful or barren; human or bestial; mute or voice; masculine or feminine etc) on the cusp and that occupied by a planet influences the affairs of the house and the planet.

StrenJth by aspeel I. . A planet in conj. or aSSOCiation with, or aspected by a

alefic (i.e. the owner of 6, 8 or 12) becomes weak or afflicted. 2. An aspecting planet modifies the results of the hous~ matters

according as it is a natural benefic or malefic, friendly or inimical. Example birth horoscope no. 1.

I. In the horoscope where the results of a house are to be offer~d by an occupant or owner itself, the strength of the occupant or owner may be examined, and where the results of a house are

21

to be offered by the planet in the occupant's or owner's star, the strength of the star lord may be examined.

2. Sun and Venus are in the star Jupiter which is in the 10th angle. So Sun and Venus become strong by house and they are powerful to give the result s or' their star lord Jupiter.

The results of the 2nd house are to be offered by the occupant Moon (because there is no planet in Moon's star). Moon is in conj. with the natural malefic Rabu and it is aspected by the owner of 12 (Jupiter). So Moon becomes weak in offering good results of the 2nd hOllse to the extent desi red .

8. A planet or house 'Connected With'

1. A planet tonnected with another planet (a) Suppose Jupiter occupies Capricorn o r Aquarius; or (b) it is in the star or sub of Saturn; or (c) it is in conj. with or aspected by Saturn, then it may be

said that Jupiter is connected with Saturn . 2. A planet connected with any house

(a) Suppose Jupiter is the owner or Star lord or Sub lord of the ascending degree (the cusp of the 15t house or Asc); or

(b) it occupies the I st house; or (c) it aspects the 1st house; or (d) it is in the star or sub of th e occupant o f the 1st house: o r (e) it is in the star or sub of the owner of the 1st house: or (0 it is in conj. with o r aspected by the owner of the l SI

house, then it may be saia that Jupiter is connec ted with the 1st house. 3. A house or its owner connecled with Ihe house 6, 8 or 12.

(a) Suppose t!>e owner of 6, 8 or 12 occupies or aspects the 4th house, then ii may be said that the 4th house ;s connected with the house 6, 8 or 12.

(b) I. Suppose the ow ner of the 4th house occupies the hpuse 6. 8 or 12; or

2. it is in the star of the owner of the house 6, 8 or 12; or 3. it is in cQnj . with or aspeeted by the owner of the house

6, 8 or 12, then it may be said that the owner oi the 4th is connecteJ with the house 6, 8 or 12. .

Thus the term 'Connected with ill any manner' is very widt in its meaning.

22

4~Example birth horoscope no. 1. ' . Generally speaking the occupant or owner of the house, the-

planet in the star of the occupant or owner of the house anq the planet in conj. or in aspect with the significator of that house come under the category of the ~ignificators of that house and these significators are termed as connected whh that house .

. In this birth map Jupit,er is the occupant of 10 and the owner of 3 and 12; the planet Sun is in the star of Jupiter the occupant of 10 and the owner of 3 and 12; and the planet Venus is in conj. with the significator of 10, 3 and 12 (Sun). Thus Jupiter, the planet Sun and the planet Venus come under the category of the significators of 10, 3 and 12. So they are termd as 'connected with' the houses. 10, 3 and 12. The term 'connected with' has been used in this sense throughout the book. _

Broadly speaking Jupiter, the planet Sun and the planet Venus are the significators of 10, 3 and 12, but strictly speaking the planet Sun (which has to give the results of its star lord Jupiter) is the significator of 10, 3 and 12. However, the term 'significator' has been used in both the sense according as the case may be throughout th~ book. ' ,--:, )

, Lastly, Sun is in the star Jupiter owning 3, 12 and occupying 10; it is in the sub Saturn owning 1, 2 and occupying 4. Now to facilitate distinction between the matters of the star lord and that of the sU;b ~ord, it may be said that Sun is the significato!" of 10. 3 and 12; and connected with 1, 2 and 4. This procedure may be adopted for all planets.

Or, the results of the star lord are experienced during the joint period (i.e. during the period, sub period and inter period) of the significator, its star lord and its sub lord, S. In short, the significator denotes the time when it will give the results of its star lord.

The sub lord of the significator shows whether theSe results will be favourable or unfavourabie.

Example bi. th horoscope no. 1 Education. The houses 4, 9 anO II are for education or studies;

while 3 and 8 for completion or negation or denial of studies. (a) Moon is the significator of 9 (in the Star Mercury owning 9). Its Sub lord Sun is the owner of 8 (12th from 9), so it is detrimental to the matters of 4, 9 and 11. Hence the significator Moon cannot give favourable results regarding studies. Thus the native after passing his B.A. examination in the year 1934-35 during the joint period of Venus and Moon, gave up his studies (b) Rahu is the significator of 9 (in the Star Mercury owning 9). Its sub lord is also Rahu which is harmonious to the matters of 4, 9 and 11, Hence the .ignificator Rahu will give favourable results regarding studies. Thus the native prosecuted his further studies in Law in the year 1939 during the period of Venus in the sub period of Rahu. (c) In short if the sub lord is the owner or occupant of 3 or 8; or is in the star of the occupant or owner of 3 or 8; or is in conj. or in aspect with the significator of 3 or 8, it is said to be detrimental to the matters of 4, 9 and 11.

If the sub lord is the occupant or owner of 4, 9 or 11; or is in the star of the occupant or owner of 4. 9 and 11; or is in conj. or in aspect with the significator of 4. 9 or 11, it is said to be harmonious to the matters of 4, 9 and 11.

In other words, if the sub lord is the significator of 4, 9 or 11 it is said to be harmonious to and connected with the matters of 4, 9 and 11.

If the sub lord is the significator of 3 or 8 it is detrimental to the matters of 4,9 and II and it is said to be connected with 3 and 8.

25

Marriage. The houses 2, 7 anei 11 are for marriage; while 1, 6 and to for denial of marriHge.

(a) Moon is the significator of 7 (in the Star Mercury in 7). Its sub lord Sun occupie. 6 (121h from 7), so it is detrimental to Ihe matters of 2, 7 and 11. Hence the significator Moon cannot give favourable results regarding marriage. Tl1us the native could not marry during the joint period of Venu s and Moon.

(b) Rahu is the signifieator of 7 (in the Star Mercury in 7). Its sub lord i~ al so R:.lhu which is harmoniou'\ to the matters of 2, 7 and II. Hence the signifiealol' Rahu will give favourable result s regarding marriage. Thus the native could marry in tile year 1937 during the period of Venu s in the sub period of Rahu .

(c) In short if Ihe sub lord is the significator of I, 6 or 10 it is detrimental (0 the matt e rs of 2, 7 and II and it is said to be connected with 1., 6 and 10.

Jf the sub lord is the signilicator of 2. 7 or II it is said to be harmonious to and connccted with the matters of 2, 7 and 1J.

Goverllmelll loan . The houses 2, 6 and 11 are for gain or money in any manner; while 8 and 12 for repaymenl of money or loss of money Ln any manrlcr.

Moon ow ns 7 (Gov!. 01' Co-o perative Society).lt is the the significatol' of 6 (receipt of loan) and 7 (money lender), because it is in the star Merc ury owni ng 6 and occ upying 7. The star lord rvlercury is aspeclcd by Saturn owning 2 (money) and Jupiter owning 12 (investment or rCptt ynlcnt o f money). So Mercury is conllccted with 2 and 12. Hence Moon signifies the matters of 2, 6,7 aRd 12.

Its slib lord Sun owns 8 (repayment o f loan) and occupies 6 (receipt of loan). So ~un is harmonious to the malters of 2, 6, 7 and 12 as indicaled by lhe sta r lord Mercury.

Hence the significator Moon shows Govt. or Co- operative Society as the so urce of an event and it will give during its period favourable results of the star lord.

Thus during the period of Moon in Ihe year 1958- 59 the native could receive loan from Gavt. through the Co-operative Society for constructing a building on the plot of the Society subject to it s repayment.

ReNremellt from Service .' The houses I, 5, 9 and 12 are for retirement from se rvice. The native retired from seTvice on 8-6-1.970 during the joint period of Mars, Mercury and Saturn the significators of 1, 5. 9 and 12.

Their Sub lords arC also the sigllificalors of 5, 12 and 9 respectively . So they arc harmonious to the matters indicated by the star lords

Hence the significators Mars, Mercury and Saturn could during their joint period effect the event of retirement.

11. A planet or house and its two sided effect

A planet ravourable to one and adverse to another I. The native of the example birth horoscope no . I was gradu ally

promoted to higher posts in service during the period of Sun (13-12-1949 to 13-12-1955). So Sun proved a benefic planet to him; while Sun proved a malefic planet to his father because it caused his death during its period on 1-10-1955.

2. (a) The houses 2, 6 and 10 are for se rvice. Sun is in the star Jupiter in the 10th. So it is the signifLcato r of 10 (promotion in service and status) the house of desirable or agreeable matters to the native . Its sub lord Saturn owns 2 and it is harmonious to the matters indicated by the star lord (Jupiter). Hence Sun gave favourable results in service during its period and proved benefic 10 the native.

(b) The badhaka and maraka houses show death . Counted from the 9th cusp (Asc for the native', father) Sun is in the star Jupiter which becomes the owner of the badhaka and maraka house 7 and the occupant of the maraka house 2. So Sun becomes the significator of the badhaka and maraka houses for tl,e native's father: these houses signify undesirable and adverse matters to the father. Its sub lord Saturn becomes the owner of 6 (sickness) and the occupant of 8 (death) and the significator of tbe maraka house 12 (being in the star Sun owning 12) as counted from the 9th cusp so it is connected with the matters of the badhaka and maraka hou~es to the father as

27

indicated by the sla r lord (Jupiter). Hence Sun gave adverse resuh s in respec t of longevi ty du ring its period and proved malefic to the native 's falher.

3. Thus il may be sa id that the significator which is favourable to you, may prove unfavourable or malefic to your father, mother or children etc. Similarly Ihe ho use which shows desirable, agreeable or favourable matters to you, may denote undesirabl e, adverse or unfavourable matters to your father. mothe r or children etc.

A planet both favourable and adverse to the native

l. In the example birth horoscope no. 1 the nativc suffered from chronic asthamatic condition every now and then during the whole period of Moon (13-121955 to 13-12-1965). So it proved malefic in respecl of health ; while it proved benefic in service because the nat ive was promoted to the highest pos t carrying responsibilities, slatus and positio n with powers during hi s service career in thi s period of Meon .

2. (a) The house 6 denotes sickness and disease. Moon is in the sta r Mercu ry which OWI1S 6 and occupies 7 (maraka). So it is the significator of 6 and 7 Ihe ho uses of undesirable and adverse matters in respecl of health. Its sub lord Sun owns 8 (chronic ailment and troubles) and occupies 6. So Sun is connected with the matters indicated by the slar lord (Mercury). Hence Moon gave unfavourable result s in respect of heallh and proved malefic .

(b) The house 6 also shows service matters. Moon js in the star Mercury which owns 6. So it is lhe s ignifica lo r of 6 the house of des irable, agreeable or advantageous matters to the native. lts sub lord Sun occ upies 6 and it is the significalor of 10 (being in the Star Jupiter in 10). So Sun is harmonious to the matters of the slar lord (Mercury) . Hence Moon gave favourable result s in respect of service and proved benefic

3. Thus it may be said that ne ithor any planet no r any house is wholly benefic or wholly malefic. But a pl a net is benefic to you if it is in the star of the occupant or owner of the house signifying desirable matters which you expect; and if its sub lord is connected with with the matters of that house. so that you may enjoy the re sull s in full.

12. Elimination of Significators

I. An event happens during the joint period (i.e. during the period, sub period, inter period and sookshma period) of Ihe significators of the houses under consideration.

28

2. Tn cases where the signiftcators of the houses under consideration exceed more than four, the unimportant s ignificators s hould tie eliminated as under:

(a) Preference should be given to Rahu Of Kclu if it represents any significator. . (b) The planet whose sublord detrimental to the hOllse or houses eliminated first.

is the significator of under consideration

the house sho uld be

3. The order of the period rulers becomes fixed according to the s ign pos itio n of Moon al the time of birth in each casco So one cannot avoid thi s. Hence if the period ruler is in any manner connected whh the matter of the hou se under consideration o r if it be the chief governor of the matter under cOJ1siderattOli., it is to be considered as all j m paTtant s igni fica tor or the matter under considcra t ion.

Longevity : I. If the sublord of the Asc (ascending degree) is the owner of :-

(a) the hou se 6, 8 or 12 a sho rt life (up to 33 years) is indicated. (b) the house I, 5, 9 or 10 a long life (beyond 66 years); (c) the house 6, 8 cr 12 and I , 5, 9 or 10 a middle life (up

to 66 years) is denoted. Besides, if this sublord is the significator (i.e. in the star of th o

occupant or owner) of the badhaka and the maraka houses , it is. not a good sign for long life.

Likewise, consider the sublords of the 3 I'd and ti,e 8th cusps al so. 2. (a) In the example birth horoscope no . I, the longevity of the

native's mother may be examined. Consider the sublord of the 4th cusp (the Asc for the mother). Its sublord Mercury is the owner of' the 6th counted from the 4th cusp. It is in the star of Saturn which is the owner of the badhaka house II counted from the 4th cusp. So the sublord of the mother's Asc (Mercury) is the significator of the badhaka house. Hence the longevity of the nati ve's mother is short .

(b) Venus is the sublord both of the 8th and the 3rd cusps. counted from the 4th cusp. It is in the star of Jupiter which is the owner of the maraka house 12 and which is the occupant of the

31

maraka house 7 counted from the 4th cusp. So Venus is th significator of the maraka houses for the mother. Hence the life of the nathe's mother is short.

(c) The native's mother died on 1-11-1923 during the joint period of Ketu, Venus and Rahu the significators of the badhaka and maraka houses as the counted from the 4th cusp.

Health: If the sublord of the Asc (ascending degree) is in the star of the occupant of the house I or II, health is normal.

If it is in the star of the occupant or owner of 6 (sickness Of disease). S(danger to life) or 12(bed ridden sickness). it is not good for health.

In the example birth horoscope no. I the sub lord of the Asc is Rahu. It is in the star of Mercury owning 6 and occupying 7. So it becomes the significator of 6 and 7 (maraka). Hence the native will suffer from disease or sickness.

Disease: If the sublord of the 6th cusp is in the star of the occupant or owner of 6 or 1 the native may suffer from disease.

(a) [n the example birth horoscope no. I the sublord of the 6th cusp is Venus. It occupies the 6th (there is no planet in its star, so it is the strong significator of 6). 1t is in the sub Saturn owning the Ase. Hence it is the significator of 1 and 6. So the native \vill suffer from disease.

(b) The native became susceptible 10 asthamatic condition since 1951 in the joint period of Sun and Rahu. The sub periods of Moon, Rahu and Saturn indicate ill-health, because they are the significators of 6 and connected with I. 8 and 12. 1 n fact they proved evil to the native for health.

Accident: If the sublord of the Asc or of the Hlh eusp is in the star of the occupant or o\vner of the 8th or 12th the native will meet \vith an accident.

If the sub lord is in the star of the occupant or owner or 2 the accident will prove fatal.

of 8, 7

If it is in the star of the occupant or o\vner of 2 or 7 and 11 the native will survive.

[n the example birth horoscope no. I the sub lord of the Ascand of the 8th cusp is Rahu. It is not iu the star of the occupant or owner of 8 or 12. So the native will not meet with any accident in life .

. Education :' If the sub lord of the 4th cusp is Mercury or JupIter; or If It ]S 10 the star of the occupant or owner of 4, 9 or II a~d if its star lord is connected with Mercury and/or Jupiter the natIve will get academic qualifications.

32

(a> In the example birth horoscope no . I the sub lord of the 4th cusp is Mercury owning 9. Moreover this sub lord j, in the star Saturn which occupies the 4th. so if is the significator of the 4th and its star lord (Sa turn) aspects both Mercury and Jupiter. hence the star lord (Saturn) is connected with them . The native will therefore get academic qualifications.

(b) The nati ve could receive education during the periods of' Mercury, Ketu and Venus the significatiors of 4 and II lip to 1941. He got degrees ii, the sub periods of Moon and Jupiter the significators of 4 and 9 during the period of Venus.

B,~lding : I. If the sub lord of the 4th cusp is in the star of" the occupant or owner of 4, 11 or 12 and Mars or SatufJl is, connected \vith this house , the native will have hi s own building.

(a) In the exa mple birth horoscope no, I the sub lord of the 4th cusp is Mercury . It i!\ in the star Saturn which is in the 4th. So it is the significator of the 4th. Hence a resid ential house of hi s own is promised to the native.

(b) Mercury owns 6 (loan) and occupies 7 (Government or Co-operative Society). Its star lord Saturn occupies 4 (land o r building). owns 2 (money) and I (self). Its sub iord Rahu occupies 2; Rahu is in conj. with Moo n owning 7, is aspccted by Mars owning 4 and II, is as pee ted by Jupiter owning 12 (investment).

Mercury is the source of an event i. c . loan from Government or Co-operative Socie ty will be the so urce.

Its star lord Saturn indicates the results regarding money and land or building for self.

Its sub lord Rah u being connectd with 2, 4, 7, II a nd 12 (the same ma~tcrs of the sta rlord) shows that the rc su lts\vill be favourable .

In short , Merc ury indicates that the na ti ve will gel money as loan from Govt. o r Co-operative Societ y. and will in ves t it in const ructing a building for him,

(c) The native could occupy his newly constructed building during the joint peri od of Moon, Ju pi ter and Mercury the significators of 4, liar 12 in 1959.

2. If the sub lord of the 10th cusp 10 the native will be required to sell his

is the signifLcator of 3 or -building.

In the example birth horoscope no. I the sub lord of the 10th cu.:; p is Merc.uT:Y, It is not 5n~ .t~e star of the . occupant or,_.~ner . of 3 or 10. So It IS not the s lgn lficator 'of 3 or 10. Hence t7' " native will not be required to sell his building. / ' .

33

Marriage: If the ~:iub lord of the 7th cusp is the significator or 2, 7 or 11 the native will marry.

If' it is the ~'.igniflcator of 1, 6 or 10 the native will not marry. (a) In the example birth horoscope no. I the sub lord of the

7111 CllSp is Mars. It occupies the 7th. It is in represents Moon owning 7, Mercury in 7 and ()\Vlling 11 and in 7; thus KetLl has to give the

the star Ketu; Ketll its star lord Mars

results of 7 and II. Iknee Mars is the signirkator of 7 and 11. So marriage is promised to the native.

(b) The native got married all 13-12-1937 during the joint period of Venus, Rahu and Jupiter the significators of 2, 7 and 11.

Childrcn : If the _"lib lord of the 5th cusp is the significator of 2. 5 or II child birth i:~ promised.

If it is the signiticalor of 1, 4 or 10 child birth is not promised. In case or f~malC's the 5th hOllse and in case or male,> the 11th

house should br2 examined t-irst. (a) In the example birth horoscope: no, I the native IS male.

The sub lord of the It tit cusp is Venus. It is the owner of the 5th. There is no planet in it'> ~,t:\r and the 5th hOllse is vacant. So it i .... the St'-Ul1g signiflc

34

strollg sigllificator of 6 and it being in the star Jupiter in 10, is the strong significator of 10 also. Hence service is promised .

. ' (c) The native got his fim employment during the joint period of Venus, Mars and Rahu the significators of 2, 6, 10 or II in 1936. .. Lottery: If the sub lord of the II th cusp is in the star of the occupant or owner of 2, 6 or 11 and not in the star of the I,>ccupant or owner of 8, 12 or 5 (i.e. 2, 6 and 11 from the 7th -gain to the opposite party) and if it is connected with the house 3 the Il1tive will gain through lottery .

. In the example birth horoscope no, 1 the sub lord of the 11th \,usp.is Venus. It is not in the star of the occupant or owner of 2, 6 or II.

On the contrary it is the owner of 5, the house 5 is vacant, there is no planet in the star of Venus, so Venus is the strong significator of 5.

Venus is in the star of Jupiter owning 12 which is vacant. So it is the strong significator of 12.

Hence there is no likelihood' of winning lottery. 'Significator. The phrase 'a particular planet is tho significatOl

of a particular house is commonly used throughout the book. In stellar astrology a planet has to give the results of its star lord. So the term 'significator' in its strict sense is to be understood as a planet in the star of the occupant or owner ofa house under consideration. General Instructions

I. For judging any matter in the horoscope pertaining to any particular house, bear in mind the general principle that a planet gives the results of its star lord.

2. Give importance to the cuspal sublord of the house to be judged; treat it as an ordinary planet.

3. Note its star lord, note the sign and the house occupied by the star lord.

4. Remember the general rule that each sign corresponds to a particular . house e.g. Aries to the 1st house, Cancer to the 4th and so on. Also bear in mind that each house corresponds to a particular sign e.g. the 1st house represents Aries, the 6th house to Virgo and so Oil.

5. Remember the characteristics e.g. personal appearance,

35

disposition, disease. occ upation and matters governed or dominated by eac h sign and planet.

6. Combine the influence of the star lord, that of the sign occupied by it and al so of the house occupied h y it suitably as the case may be; and foll ow the suit in respect of the cuspal sublord also.

7. The strength of the cuspal sub lo rd of a house should also be examined for the affairs or matters of that house,

] 4. Joint Period Rulers I. The period or sub period ruler gives the results according

to its natural rulership over certain affairs o f life e.g. Venus is the chief governor of peace or harmony. marriage, vehicle or happiness etc.

2. It gives favourable o r unfavo urable results of its star lord according as irs suh lo rd is favo urable or unfavourable .

3. The period rul er, the sub period rul er or the int er period ruler each may signify matte rs of different houses i.e . different subject matte rs both desirabl e and unde sirable. So during their joint period they will give the res ults of the common subject matter either desirable o r undesirable as the case may be.

Suppose the period rukr is the sigllificalor of 2, 5 or 11 and I , 4 o r 10 (child birth and also its denial), then during the sub period of the significato r of I , 4 or 10 there will be no child birth and if there be any child a lread y, se parat io n from the child is likel y: and during the suh period of th e significator of 2, 5 or II the hirth of a child will take place.

4. If the star lord (of the period rul er etc) occ Lipies 6, 8 or 12 as co unted from its own sign (house), then the period or sub period rule r will no t give favourable results of this ho use (owned by its star lord) .

5. If the planet and its sta r lord arc in 6, 8 or 12 sign from each othe r, the nat ive will not g~t results to a desired extent during their joint period.

I n the example birth horosco pe no . l. the pla nets (Sun and Venus) and their star lord (Jupiter) arc in the 8th and 6th s ign from each other. So during the joint period of Venus and Jupiter (13-2-1940 to 13-1 0-1942) and during the jo int period of Sun and Jupiter (1-1-1952 to 19-10-1952) the nati ve got only an ordinary temporary rise in service and not a good rise to a desired ex tent.

36

6. If the star lord of the period or sub p., iotl ruler he retrograde , the nalive will experience lipS and downs in general.

In the example birth horoscope no. I , Sun and Venus are in the star Jupiter in the 10th, so the native was gradually promoted to higher posts carrying position and powers . But the star lo rd Jupiter is retrograde, so reversions and promotions continued till he retired from service.

7. The joint period rulers generally give the results of the house or houses owned by their star lords, so their strength will depend on the strength of their star lords.

8. If the joint period rulers are in reception (in each other's sign). in conj. or as pect with each other, they influence the affairs of each other. This is based on the principle that a planet in conj. with or aspected by a significator gives the rcsuhs or the hOllse or houses denoted by that significator.

Tn the example birth horoscope no. I. tl1e period ruler Mars is the sig nificator of printing and public:l!iol1 of books on astro logy (Mars is in the star Ketti on the cusp of 9 and in the sub Venu s owning 10. Ketu in 9 denotes astrology, it being in Virgo represents Merc ury which shows .. "riting'. it also r(:prcse nt s its star lord Mars w hich indic iJtes printing. Venus be ing in the s tar Jupiter o\,.,lling 3 in 10 is the significato r of publications). The gub peri od rul er Rahu is aspected by Mars . So Rahu \\ill give the rc s uits. indicat ed by Mars. In vicw' of this. during the joint period of Mars and Rahu the native' s book on astro logy was printed and published i,t the year 1966-67.

The activity of writing books on astrology and their publi ca:ioll'\ was continued throughout the period of Mars and it was also being continued during the period of Rahu which commenced on 13-12-1972. During tile joint period of Rahu, Rahtl and Kcttl, the printing of this book was started from 3-9-1i74. Ketu being in the star Mars and in the s ub Rahu is also the s ignificator or pri nting and publi cation.

J 5. Transit and Joint Period Rulers I . Arr everrt ge nerally happens during the joint peri od of the

significalors whe n the transit agrees. 2. At the time of eve nt Sun, Moon or/a nd jo int period rulers

a re ge nerally fo und to be transilting in the star or sub of the same joint period ruler or rulers (i.e. in the sta r or sub or the period, sub period, inter period orja lld sookshma period ruk r. )

Example birth horoscope No.1. : (Ketu 's Sl ct r lord) own ing 11 : so Mars is connected with 2, 0 a nd II and it rro mise'; 1inance to th e nati ve. I.ts sublord Venus o\ .... ns 10 and occupies 6; so it is harmo niou s to the matters indi cated by the star lord ( Kctu) . Hence Ma rs will in its period give 1110nerary ga in to the native; and it may be ro!alised during the joint period of the plan et Mars, Ihc sta r lord Ketu and th e sublord Venus.

38

(c) It may therefore be said that if the cilspal sub lord of a house is the significator of the matter signified by that house, this matter will be materialised during the period etc of this cuspal sublord.

(d) On 27-6-1970 Moon was transitting in Pisces 24' 0' in the sub Mus (the period ruler) , Venus in Cancer 19' 0' in the sub Ketu (the sub period ruler) and Ketu in Leo 12' 33 ' in its own star.

2. (a) In the example birth horoscope no. I, the Asc is jointly ruled by Saturn, Moon and Rahu. They all are the signjficators of I and 6 (Saturn owning 1 in star Sun in 6; Moon and Rahu both arc in star Mercury which owns 6 and aspects the Asc).

So the native suffered from asthamatic condition and kept bad health during the joint period of Moon, Ranu and Saturn (16-10-1957 to 12-1-1968), also during the joint period of Moon. Saturn and Rahu (1-5-1961 to 28-7-1961),

(b) It may therefore be said that if the joint rulers of the cusp of any house are the significators of the matter signified by that house, the combined period of thesc joint rulers inter se gives the results of the same matter.

(c) The native may suffer from sickness or disease during the sub periods of the significators of I and 6 or 1 and 8 or 1 and 12 in the period of the signiitcator of 6. He recovers during the sub periods of the significators of I, 5 or I\, He becomes a victim to to the disease in the sub pcriods of the significators of the badhaka and maraka hOllses.

The sign and house occupied by the star lord of the sub period ruler show the sensitive part of the body and the nature of the disease.

In thc exam pIc birth horoscope no. I, the period ruler is Moon and the sub period ruler Rahu is in the star Mercury in Cancer; while the sub period ruler Saturn is in the star Sun in Gemini.

Gemini governs lungs, it shows bronchitis and asthama etc. Cancer denotes stomach. it is a watery sign, so it indicates weak digestive power, cold, cough and asthama etc.

17. CUSp and Aspects Asc. (a) In the example birth horoscope no. I , the Asc is in

apposition (180) aspect to Mercury the owner of 6. So the planet in the star of Mercury will cause sickness to the nalive.

Both Moon and Rahu are in the star of Mercury. So during the sub periods of Moon and Rahu the health of the native was much disturbed every now and then.

39

(b) The A,c is in trine (120) aspect to Saturn and in sextile ( 60) aspect to Jupiter. So the planets in the star of Saturn and Jupiter will protect the health of the native .

Both Mercury and Jupiter are in the star of Saturn: \\'hile both Sun and Venus are in the star of JU')iter. So during the sub periods of Jupiter, Mercury, Venus an.d Sun the Ilative could mai ntain h is health.

Me. The Mc (10th cusp) is in trine aspect to bOlh Venu s and Sun. So the planet in the star of Venus and Sun will be favourable to the nali ve in maintaining his position in servi ce. There is no planet in the star of Venus. but Saturn is in the star of Sun. Hence during the sub periods of Saturn and Venus the native could maintain hi s position in service.

18. Sub sub in each Sub 1. Formula of Sub sub

(a) Each 'sub ' is further divided into nine parts. Thi s sub divis ion is termed as 'sub sub'. It is based on the following formula:-

"Dasha years oj each planet -+- the total number of Vimsllolfari dasha years x F.ach sub area = The longitude or extent or area of . Suh sub' Jur each planet ill each 'Sub',"

(b) The above fo rmula of deriving 'Sub sub' in each 'Suo' is illustrated as under ;-
