Effect of a Planetary Ingress

When a planet move from one raashi to another, then it is called “ Ingress”. Whenever this happen, it indicate some significant changes in our lives. Now the question is how to judge?
Step -1 Note the Janam Raashi of Jatak
Step- 2 Now note the current raashi position of the moon when any planet changes the sign
Step- 3 Now Count from the Janam Raashi to the current raashi position which we obtain from step-2
Step-4 If the number comes to be
1,6,11 then the planet which changes the sign will give best result.
2,5,9 then the planet which changes the sign will give good result.
3,7,10 then planet which change the sign will give average result.
4,8,12 then planet which change the sign will give bad result.
For Example
Let’s consider a Jatak whose Janam Raashi is Taurus. Recently the planet Jupiter changes the sign from Scorpio to Saggitarius on 22 Nov 2007.At that time of change moon was in Pisces. So current position of moon is Pisces.
Now begin the counting from Taurus to Pisces. We get 11
From the above table it shows the result will be very good.

Combust Planets

In astrology when a planet comes in the orb of sun then it is considered as combust or asta. In predictive astrology the the significations of the house which is ruled by the combust planet looses. Now the 2 planets mercury and venus remain close to the sun.
They are called inner planet as their path of revolution around the sun is between earth and sun.Their frequency of getting combust in a year is very high. Now here the confusion arises. Every astrologer uses own discretion while drawing results. Some totally ignore the combustion of inner planet and take account of only outer planet. Before making any final conclusion it is very important to understand the concept of eclipse first. For example in solar eclipse the moon comes between Sun and earth making the sun to set. Now apply the same method with mercury. There are two possibility during the revolution of mercury around the sun.i.e.
1) Mercury comes between sun and earth(called inferior conjunction)
2) Sun come between mercury and earth(called superior conjunction)
Inferior conjunction is possible only with Venus and Mercury. It happen when they are retrograde(or Vakri).In case I it is the sun which is the sufferer. In case II it is the mercury which will at the reciving end. So one should analyse the chart in a rational manner , rather than applying the old rules blindly.
