Chosing a Gemstone

Gemstones are use widely in astrology as a remedy.But the real question is which gem to chose.For that it is very important to judge the horoscope of native.Here lagna plays a very important role. The ruling planet of lagna and lords of Trikonas qualify at the first sight. But there is catch here that if that planet is in bad house and deblitated then it will be disqualified.Gemstones of the 6th,8th and 12th houses be avoided if they do not own a trine.Also the gemstone of markesh planet should not be selected.If the dasha lord qualifies the above criteria then the gem of that planet hold the upper hand.Its very important that combinations of gemstones is strictly prohibited in case their lord are inimical to each other. It means before selection, the planet has to pass the 5 fold test in which its placement,sign,nature & lordship of 2 houses are at stake.So, to wear a gemstone one must consult astrologer.

Deadly Duo

In Astrology the 6th and 8th house are among the list of dusthan(Bad houses). That is why 6/8 relation is considered harmful and it is frequently used in dasha analysis.Planets placed in 6th or 8th from the planet of running dasha generally diminishes the good effect of dasha.Here the same rule is applied while judging the strength of a house where two planets of different nature are placed.
Step1
Place all the 9 planets in order as follows
Sun
Moon
Mars
Mercury
Jupiter
Venus
Saturn
Rahu
Ketu
Step2
The planet 6th from itself is the shatru graha(enemical)
Step-3
We will have the following enemical combinations after applying step-2 in the step-1 list
Sun-Venus
Moon-Saturn
Mars-Rahu
Mercury-Ketu
Jupiter-Sun
Venus-Moon
Saturn-Mars
Rahu-Mercury
Ketu-Jupiter
Step-4
If the lord,Karka doesnot support the bhava, then the above combination placed in any bhava will harm the signification of that bhava.

Marriage & Prosperity

In Modern time an astrolger has to undergo a stiff test while matching a horoscope. Apart from matching based on Ashta Koota Milaan there are other factors to be considered. One of the important factor the financial stability of a couple after marriage. It can be checked in the following way which is very interesting for any person who possess even little knowledge of astrology.

Step1 The rule is that count from the Nakshatra of the bride to that of the groom.
Step2 Multiply this number by 5 and divide the product by 7. The reminder is Vyaya or expenditure.
Step3 Now the counting is again made from the Janma Nakshatra of the groom and the same calculation is repeated, the reminder indicates “aya” or gain or income.

Result
If the aya is greater than vyaya, marriage brings all round prosperity. If this is reverse, the couple will experience poverty.

The Karma Theory

In Janam- kundli the Dhrama Trikonas i.e. Lagna,5th and 9th house are the pillars. Human take birth according to his karmas of past live. It is the 5th house which indiacates the deeds of past life. While judging the horoscope these 3 houses plays key role in formation of Rajyogas. It is the dasha which confers the Rajyoga to a native at particular time. Some people argues that there are Rajyogas in their horoscope but they have nothing in hand. The answer is that one require a good dasha also without which all the Rajyoga are waste. In reality the good Rajyoga is “good dasha at a good time”. So a weak moon or lagna lord can single handedly destroy the Rajyogas. Still the question is why the people suffers? For this it is important to understand the Law of karmas.
Karmas are divided into four categories:
1. Sanchit: A collection of Karmas of past life.
2. Prarabdha: The ready to experience Karmas. Itis that portion of Sanchit karma which is ready to be experienced by an individual during his/her life time.In other words it represents the current effects of past actions which appear as destiny. It is through the horoscope from which an astrologer tries to analyse the “Prarabdh”
3. Kriyamana: They are the current Karmas which we perform daily due to free will and thoughts. They have the ability to over ride our past Karma i.e. Sanchit/Prarabdha Karma.
4. Agama: They are the approaching Karmas. Agama Karma is also that karma whose fruits may ripen and be available in your next birth.
In astrology there are many causes to give one effect. That is why classification of any action into one class of karma or another is not always easy . The important thing to realize is that while we may not escape the effect of deeds of past life but we can work in conformity with it. That is where free will comes in. The use of free will hold important key. If the role of free will is ignore then astrology will also loose its significance.So free will is a link between unalterable future and the probable future.
