Pitra Dev

It is often seen in the horoscope that there is a yoga of “Pitra-dosham” which is considered very deadly for the children.It is a clear indication of curse of ancestors. Also, the blessings of our ancestors are very important for the success in life. As per hindu calendar, the Krishna paksh (fortnight) of Ashwin month is very important for remembering our ancesters. During this period rituals performed for the pacification of departed souls is called as “Shradh”. After the death soul travels various planes(levels). It suffers accoding to the its deed performed on the earth. Shradh ceremony is performed to provide the solace to the soul. The last day of shradh is considered as the most important one . It is held on amavasya tithi. The pitras are believed to be the ruler of this tithi(date). Similarly offering water to souls is called “Tarpan” ceremony. As per rule the eldest son of the deceased should perform this ceremony. Otherwise spouse or brother or son-in-law are qualified to perform it. The shradh or tarpan performed on teerath is considered as best. The easiest way is to donate the food liked by the ancestors. It should be donated to Brahmin, crow and cow.Sesame seeds mixed with water is considered very sacred in the offerings. All the auspicious works are prohibited during this period. There are 6 kinds of tarpan

1) Devtarpan

2) Rishitarpan

3) Divyamanavtarpan

4) Divyapitratarpan

5) Yamtarpan

6) Manushyapitratarpan

Mantra to be recited at the time of tarpan is-

Om ye bandhava abandhva va yenya janmani bandhva |

Te sarve triptimayantu maddattenambuna swadha ||

This simple remedy is very important to ward off many hidden evils in horoscope.

The true devotion

The 13^th tithi (date) of the Shukla paksha of Jyeshtha month of hindu lunar calendar is very important for a married woman. From this day till poornima(Full moon day), fast is observed for the longevity of husband. The name of the fast is “Vat-Savitri vrat”. The word “Vat” means banyan tree in hindi which is considered very auspicious and “Savitri” was a woman with whom the legend is associated. During the fast there is a ritual of tying thread around banyan tree. It is believe that the banyan tree is symbolic representation of Lord Brahma,Vishnu and Mahesh. The lower part of root is abode of lord Brahma, the stem of tree is abode of Lord Vishnu and the upper part of banyan tree is representation of lord Shiva, all making the tree a sacred one. As per legend , there was a princess Savitri who wanted to marry Satyavan. But sage Narad was against this marriage because as per destiny the Satyavan had only one year of remaining life. But Savitri ignored the warning and married to Satyavan as she truly loved him. After completion of one year, when Satyavan was resting under the banyan tree, Lord Yama, the god of death appeared to take the soul of Satyavan to heaven. At that moment Savitri begged for the life of her husband from the Yama. But all went in vain. But she was determined to follow lord Yama till the end. The way to Yamlok,the abode of lord Yama was too difficult and full of miseries. Lord Yama was impressed by her determination. He granted her 3 boons, except the life of her husband. This was the testing time for Savitri. First she asked for the vision of the blind father in law. Secondly she begged for the lost empire of his family. Lastly she begged for a son. The last wish of Savitri put Lord Yama in great dilemma because it could not be fulfilled without Satyavan. Lord Yama accepted the defeat from the hands a woman who was so dedicated to her husband. He granted all the three boons . It is believed that Satyavan spend his dying moments under a Banyan tree on the full moon day in month of Jyeshtha. During this day parikrama of banyan tree for 108 times tying thread is considered very auspicious for the longevity of husband.

A girl or a boy!

As per hinduism there are 16 series of sanskaar(rituals) has to be performed from the birth till death. They are
1)Garbhadhaan
2)Punsavan
3)Seemanta
4)Jatakarma
5)Namakarana
6)Nishkramana
7)Annaprasana
8)Chudakarana
9)Karnavedh
10)Vidyarambh
11)Upanayan
12)Vedarambh
13)Kesantha
14)Samavartan
15)Vivaham
16)Antim sanskaar

The first 3 sanskaar are pre-natal sanskaar which are vital for the good health of child..The life begins from the first step of conception. The “Garbhadhaan” sanskaar involving some religious mantras and muhurat ensures the birth of a healthy and virtuous child. It removes all the impurities linked with conception. Child is not only produced from the physical body of parents. This is the reason that in our shaastra there are certain days and auspicious timing of union which ensures birth of a virtuous son. It is scientifically proved that the thoughts prevailing in the minds of mother and father at the time of conception has a huge impact on the child. The lagna,the zodiac sign rising in the east direction at the time of conception gives complete information about the gender and health of child. It is clearly written in our sacred texts, how to calculate the muhurat for the birth of a child of a desired gender.For example, to get the female child ,in muhurat proper taken is care that the Venus or Moon (both female planets) should aspect the lagna. The second sanskaar called “Punsavan” sanskaar is very important for getting a male child and to prevent the abortion and to overcome any defect in feotus.. Generally it is performed in male nakshatras and in masculine days of Sunday,Tuesday or Thursday(condition apply). The 3rd pre-natal sanskaar is “Seemant” sanskaar. The purpose of this ritual is to protect mother from evil forces. A detail calculations are required to select the best muhurat for each ceremony. Some times these calculations are too complex than calculations required to launch a satellite!

The Balalncing Act

“Well begun is half done”.As per rules of astrology, the time of the start of any new or important work is very important.But, the selection of auspicious time is not very easy for an astrologer.He has to combat many factors. Interestingly, these factors are highly conflicting.The real skills of an astrologer depends upon how he balances these factors.The factors which has to be taken into account are

1)Tithi(the lunar date)

2)Nakshatra

3)Vaar(weekday)

4)Karan

5)Yoga

6)Tara

7)Moon

8)Lagna

I have often seen many astrologers put too much importance to first 3 factors. But in reality, the last 3 factors hold the maximum points. If the last 3 factors are positive ,then the negativity of the first 3 or 4 factors can be ignored. The points to above factors should be given as follows

1) Tithi-1 points

2)Nakshatra-4 points

3)Vaar(weekday)-8 points

4)Karan-16 points

5)Yoga-32 points

6)Tara-64 points

7)Moon-100 points

8)Lagna-1000 points

Shubh Snaan

In our classics various remedies are recommended to pacify the ill effect of planet. Bathing in medicinal water is one amongst them. It is said that such remedy removes all the obstacle caused by unfavourble transit of planets. Last but not least it should be performed in an auspicious muhurat, only then this remedy gives it full positive effect. So, when the following planets are bad in transit, then bath as follows
Sun- Bad effect of malefic transiting sun could be removed if one bath with illaichi,honey,khas-khas,kesar,lotus,Roli, cinnamon,black pepper, dry ginger,cardamom
Moon-bath with lotus,conch,shell,Belpatra,Sphatic,Panchgavya
Mars-Red flower,leaves of china rose,,Naag kesar,turmeric
Mercury- honey,nag kesar,panchgavya,mint,bhringra
Jupiter-honey,seeds of yellow mustard,flowers of malti,juhi,chameli,ketki,ashwagandha,,almonds,walnut,cashews
Venus-saffron,white lotus,rose,jasmine
Saturn-Kala til,Saunph,shilajit,triphala,ashwagandha
Rahu-Doorva,Bilav patra,camphor
Ketu-Annar,Red sandal

Fears and phobias

The word “phobia” has a long list of its variations. In medical science there is no any specific cause is explain. But a careful examine of a chart yield sufficient information about the cause of psychological trouble. The whole analysis revolves around 3 key
Moon
Mercury
Jupiter
They are the significator of mind, nervous system and wisdom respectively. Any sort of afflictions by malefics cause psychological problem to a native. The nature of problem varies with the natural significance of planet which is being afflicted as well as the planet which causes affliction. In astrology there are many causes which yield to one result. To support the above analysis one has to take into account of other factors also. Here Lagna and 5th house plays very important role.Lagna is a representative of head where as 5th house shows mental inclination.Also Aries sign which represent “Head” in kaalpurush kundli, if afflicted by malefics then it also act as a supporting factor. Classics mention some of combinations of psychological disorders as follows-
kemdruma Yoga- It is formed when there is no planet in 2nd & 12th house from moon
Jupiter in lagna and Mars in 7th house or vice versa
Saturn in lagna and mars in trines or in 7th house from it
Rahu and moon in lagna and malefics in trines
Saturn and weak moon conjunct in 12th house.
Moon in 8th aspected by malefics
Saturn in lagna,sun in 12th with moon/mars in trines
Dual aspect of mars and Saturn on moon with moon occupying navamsha of malefic
Antardasha of enimical planet
Last but not least, role of upgrah of shani, Mandi should not be ignored.Wherever it sits in horoscope as well as whichever planet with it conjuncts , it causes disastrous results.

Vivah kundli

The time at which marriage is actually performed has a special meaning. Now a days people rarely pay importance to the time at which marriage ceremony starts. This ignorance can prove costly.According to sages, the lagna at the time of marriage gives sufficient hint about the happenings in post married life. For a female native, in chart of muhurat, following planets represent the relatives respectively-
1)sun-father in law
2)venus-mother in law
3)7th lord-husband
4) lagna- health
5) Moon-mind/psychology
and for a male native the representations changes a little bit as follows
1)Moon – Wife
2)Mars-Wealth
3)Mercury-comforts
4)Jupiter- sons
5)Venus-dharma
6) Saturn-domestic comforts
In a muhurat kundli when a particular planet is weak,then the significations of that planet looses.For example if in muhurat chart Moon is deblitated,then the female will deprive of the happiness from the mother-in-law.Apart from that one has to make sure that 7th house of muhurat kundli contains no planet.Other wise a dosha called “Jamitra Dosham “ will be created if the following planets are found in the 7th house. The corresponding result is given below-
1)moon- trouble
2)sun-sepration
3)mars-failure of marriage
4)mercury-indifference in opinion
5)Jupiter-brings disgrace
6)venus-bad conduct
7)Saturn-adverse effect to children
8)Rahu-poverty
9)ketu- lunatic
So, to ward off the evil effect on should perform marriage in a muhurat as selected by qualified astrologer

Gemstone in which hand?

Gems remains the area of fascination for every people. Now a days it is use as remedial measure by astrologers as well as palmists. But before wearing a gem one should follow certain procedure to charge them. Then comes the real question,in which hand it should wear? There is lot of confusion about this. The following views are prevelant in the society.
View 1- Males should wear on the right hand and females should wear on left hand. The logic is simple. The right hand portion of the human body is rule by masculine energy where as left hand is rule by feminine energy.
View 2- Right handed person should wear on the right hand and vice versa. The logic is that the active hand is linked directly with the conscious mind.
View 3- The gem of planet belonging to male group should be worn on right hand, where as gem of planet belonging to female group should be worn on left hand.
View 4-Lagna to the sixth house are the right side of a male native and the other six signs remaining starting from the 7th house to the 12th house is the left side of the male native. Reverse is in the case of a female native.
View 5- All odd signs are masculine and even signs are feminine.Wear the gem according to nature of sign where it is placed.
View 6- Wearing gem on the basis of Raashi. But this theory is fail because Even for jatakas for the same raashi the role of each planet is different for different native which in turn depends upon the lagna chart.
Every view has its own merits and demerits. So next time when you wear a gem, make sure that it should be wore in correct hand.Otherwise you may land yourself in big trouble.

Vrat-Ek Sankalp

In Hinduism, the devotees observe fast frequently. Literal meaning of Fasting in Sanskrit is “upavaasa”. This word is a combination of “upa” and “vaasa”.The word “Upa” means "near" and the word “vaasa” means "to stay". Thus Upavaasa signify staying near the God. During fasting people do not eat at all or eat saatwik food. In kaliyuga people indulge in eating “Taamsik” food. The kind of food which we eat has a direct effect on our thought process. Even in yoga it is believe that the body is like a machine which needs overhauling at regular interval. The more one indulge the senses, the more they make their demands. Fasting helps us to control over our senses. If the fasting is done without any motive then it could make a person weak or can create a desire to indulge later. Discipline is required in every sphere of life. Vrat is a special undertaking, keeping some goal in mind, and making a resolution about it. For example scattered rays of sun can not burn a paper, whereas if they are concentrated then they are very powerful. From astrological point of view the vrat for the malefic planet should be done. for example for a person of Pisces ascendant, he should avoid the vrat of Monday. Similarly for a person of virgo ascendant , it is advisable to keep fast on Tuesday during the dasha of Mangal.So next time, do not keep the fast blindly

Mangal Dosham-Kitna Sahi aur Kitna Galat

In my previous article I have mentioned the conditions under which a person qualifies for a manglik dosha.The word “Dosha” has many meaning. In liberal sense it means disqualification. The significations of mars such as violence,anger,fire,death etc are narrated in the books with a lot of hype.Our sages laid various qualifications for marriage for both boy and girl.All the rules written in our classics are according to ancient period. They have to be interpreted carefully in this e-age. In ancient times there were many strict rules for girls. If in a girl’s horoscope one found Martian influence, it was considered bad as it lead to courage and fighting spirit. The time when classics were written there was likely chances of wars for kings and his army. So, the chances of death and injury was high.But in this age there are very few takers for the jobs of defence and the possibility of frequent wars is remote. Now the question is how a mars can affect relationship. Since it is planet of fire and anger so it can cause drift and tension. Its effect can be observed as well as averted as follows
a)These days the nature of jobs is such that people travel around the world frequently with great ease. So, husband and wife meet for very less time. Though this scenario was considered bad on old days but it is very acceptable these days.
b)With the introduction of new kinds of jobs people work at night rather than day.So there is hardly any space left for Dharma.
c)Girls are working and not the home makers only.So there is hardly anytime for fighting
d) The communications are done through emails and SMSes, a kind of drift
e) Due to social networking sites, the concept of multi-relations got a new dimension
f) Due to various professional commitments, people donot want progeny at the young age.So, space for discharge of “Pitra Rina” shrink automatically.
g) Increase in singular family instead of joint family system is very common.It is another variation of mangal dosham
The above variations are very acceptable these days. Overstressing on manga dosham should be avoided.Now come to the exceptions for Mangal Dosham.As every rule has a exception.I am presenting various rules of exception prevelant in the society.
1)In 8th house the dosha is full, in lagna 1/2, in 7th 1/4, in 4th 1/8 and in 12th and 2nd houses 1/16.
2)No dosha if mars is in its its own house or exaltation house.
3) No dosha if aspected by a benefic.
4)Mars in moveable signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn) cancels the dosha.
5)If the lord of the house where Mars is situated is in Kendra (i.e. 1st, 4th or 10th house) from Lagna the dosha gets cancelled.
6)If Mars posited in above houses is debilitated, retrograde or combust; loses his strength to form a Kuja Dosha.
7).Some classics states that Mars in Cancer or Capricorn removes Manglik Dosha.
8). For Cancer & Leo Lagnas, the Mars is not evil
9)Mars is in its own sign (Aries, Scorpio) ,
10) Mars is in the house of friends (Sun, Jupiter, Moon).
11) If Mars is in the 2nd house, but in the signs of Gemini or Virgo.
12) No Dosha when Mars is in 4th house, and the signs are Aries and Scorpio.
13)If Mars is in the 7th house, but in Cancer or Capricorn.
14) If Mars is in the 8th house, but in Sagittarius or Pisces.
15) If Mars is in the 12th house, but in Taurus or Libra.
16) For Aquarius ascendant, if Mars is in the 4th or 8th house.
17) If benefic Jupiter or Venus occupies the ascendant.
18) If Mars is in conjunction or aspected by Jupiter or Moon.
Caution-However, Mangal dosham is not something, which can be totally ignored. As in certain conditions it is highly harmful.So overall analysis of chart is very important rather that people making self decision on the basis of software available in the market.

Omen- I

”Shakun-Shaastra” is a study of omen. Palpitating or trembling of organs has a special place in the consideration of omens. As a general rule fluttering of right side organs of the male and left side organs of female is considered as good omen. Also trembling indicates auspicious results except back of the body and leg pits. Following are the results of trembling of body parts.

Head-Gain of Land and happiness in journey.

Dwipushkar and Tripushkar Yoga in Astrology

The yoga means “to add”. On taking account of Tithi, Vaar & Nakshatra we can have 2 yogas namely Dwipushkar Yoga and tri Pushkar Yoga. As the name signifies in Dwipushkar if event performs then it repeat again for the second time. Similarly in tripushkar Yoga the event repeat again twice. Hence good events should happen in this yoga such as purchase of property etc. and Other events such as diseases should not happen.
For Dwi-Pushkar Yoga the combinations are
2/7/12 & Sunday/ Tuesday/ Saturday and Dhanistha/Chitra/ Mrgashiras Nakshatra
For Tripushkar Yoga the combinations are
2/7/12 & Sunday/ Tuesday/ Saturday and Krittika/Punarvasu/ Uttaraphagulni/ Vishaka/ Uttarashadha, Uttarabhadrapada
Since in modern society the marriages are performed generally in weekends so it is likely possibility that you may may fell into the trap of above combination easily.

GandaMoola Dosha

Meaning
The fear of Ganda-Moola or “Gandants” is highly prevalent in our society. At the time of birth pandits often terrorise the parents if a child born under certain nakshatra. It is important to understand the myth and reality first. The “Ganda “ means “Knot” and the “anta” means “end”. The Zodiac or the path of moon is divided into 12 raashis or in 27 nakshatras. So, it is the junction point in the zodiac which can be found at three places.
Concept
Interestingly the nature of each sign repeats after every 4 signs. For Example Aries is first sign. It is of firey nature.The sequence is as follows-
Aries,Leo,Sagittarius- Firey
Taurus,Virgo,Capricorn-Earthy
Gemini,Libra,Acquarius-Airy
Cancer,Scorpio,Pisces-Watery
We all know that fire and water are enimical.The border between Aries-Pisces,Cancer-Leo and Scorpio-Saggitarius act like danger mark or in otherway it is like a “knot” or “point of junction”. That is why when moon is about to cross the dividing line or has just cross it then it is considered as a warning signal. It is believe that a person born under this situation suffers numerous miseries in life. Since each raashi can be sub divided into nakshatras, so the nakshatras falling at the beginning of Aries/Leo/Saggitarius i.e. Aswini, Magha and Moola and the nakshatras falling at the end of Cancer/Scorpio/Pisces i.e. Ashlesha, Jyeshtha and Revati can be trouble causing. But this rule is too general and the pandits make full use of it as a weapon to terrorise the parents of a new born. Since the nakshatra can be further subdivided into 4 padas therefore 4th pada of Revati, Ashlesha, Jyestha and the 1st pada of Ashwini, Magha and Moola should be put into scanner. The first three Ghatis(1 ghati=24 mints) of Ashwini, magha & moola nakshatras and the last five Ghatis before the end of the ashlesha, jyeshtha & revati are important.
Views
1.First If birth is in the daytime, it is called Pitri (father) Gandanta while a night birth during Gandanta is called Matri (mother) Gandanta.
2. The second view is if birth in Revati – Aswini junction is called Swa (self) –Gandanta, if birth in Ashlesha – Magha junction is called Matri (mother) Gandanta and if birth in Jyestha – Moola junction is called Pitri (father) Gandanta.
3. Consideration of Moola-Nivasa (Residence of Moola)
a) In months of Margasirsa, Phalgun, Vaisakha and Jyestha the residence of Moola is in “Patala Loka”
b) In Sravana, Kartika, Chaitra and Pausa the residence of Moola is in Martyu Loka
c) In months of Ashada, Aswina, Bhadra and Magha, the residence of Moola is in Swarga Loka
If birth is in Gandanta and the residence of Moola is in the Martyu Loka then great evil is indicated. The evil is lesser for the other Loka. Also Movable, Fixed and Dual signs as the (Lagna) are said to give Moola residence of Swarga, Patala and Martyu loka respectively.
4. The number of the Janma Nakshtra is multiplied by three (3). The numbers of birth tithi as recknoed from Sukla Paksha prati pada and the day of birth (as reckoned from Sunday) are added and the sum is divided by eight (8). The remainder indicates the Ganda Dosh (Error/Evil). Following are the effect if the remainder is
Complete destruction
Loss of wealth
danger to mother
Loss of physical power
Destruction in maternal relations
Destructions to Co borns
Loss to Father
Complete loss
Conclusion
As per traditions various remedies and rituals has to be performed in case of gandamooldosha. But the above negative effects will accrue only when other supporting yogas are present in the chart. Birth on Abhijit muhurat counters the evill effects as per Sage Vashistha. Also, moon in own vargas and aspected by benefics can ward off the ill effects. So, no need to fear when remedies are here!!!

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.

Astrology and Sports!

In astrology there are various hidden rules which are yet to be tested and analysed in a prudent way in the modern context. During my Banaras visit I was searching for some books on astrology. I found an intresting material on “chakras”.The “chakras” is the nakshatra based system of prediction. I always found “Chakras” are the most mysterious and challenging . This is the reason I decided to do research on it. During world cup hockey 2010, I got a call from one person(who was also a well known astrologer) ,asked for the prediction of the outcome of the semi final match between Australia and Netherlands since he was banking upon Netherlands to win the match(even the media was favouring Netherlands). But I was not agreed with him. I am presenting excerpt (only a part is published here)of my research work. I took account of Rahu , the sun and the moon. It is important to note that 13 nakshatras which are yet to be traveled by Rahu is called “Mrit Paksha”(considered inauspicious) and the remaining 13 are called “Jeeva Paksha”(considered auspicious). In the analysis Moon is called “The attacker” and the sun is called “ the attacked”. Now it is the position of sun and moon during the match decides the outcome. If the moon is in Jeeva paksha then the attacker wins and if the sun is in the Jeeva Paksha then the defender wins.
Interpretation of Result
1)If Moon’s nakshatra is between 2nd and 14th from the Rahu’s nakshatra then the Attacker wins
2) If Sun’s nakshatra is between 2nd and 14th from the Rahu’s nakshatra then the defender wins.
3) If Moon’s nakshatra and Sun’s nakshatra is between 2nd and 14th from the Rahu’s nakshatra then the both wins.
4) The nakshatra from the 16th to 28th (including Abhijit) is the indicator of loss.
5) The 15th nakshatra from the rahu’s is the neutral point.
Example- If rahu is transiting in Rohini nakshatra and Moon is in Mrigshira and Sun is in Ashiwini nakshatra , then the team that begins the attack will win. In vice versa case, where Moon is in Ashwini nakshatra and Sun is in Mrigshira nakshatra then the team that begin attack will loose because at that time the sun is transiting in Jeev Paksha making the attacked party stronger.

Til Vichaar

Our sages has mention some methods of prediction on the basis of physical features of a human being. Study of moles is one amongst them. This art of reading moles is called Moleosophy Medically moles are overgrowths of the skin's pigment cells. Almost all of us have them. Moles are not normally present at birth but appear in childhood and early teenage years.. How to interpret moles for divination is depend upon 3 parameter i.e..Shape, color & placement
Parameter 1 :- Shape can be Round, Oval, Angular. Except angular both are good
Parameter 2 :- Light colored moles and birthmarks have positive significance; darker the
color- the more strength in its influence for misfortune.
Parameter 3 :- Position. Moles present on the left parts of the females while the moles present on the right side of the males generally give auspicious results. This is a general rule. Now, a mole on the left side of the forehead Indicate difficulties while one on the right side of the forehead gives success. A mole on the chin presents is auspicious. A mole near the eyebrow makes the man a continuous traveler. A mole on the eye enhances beauty if one has a mole on the right eye that man is a strong lover of women and if the mole is on the left eye that man will face problems from women .A mole on the right cheek is auspicious .A person having mole on the left cheek have a good spouse .A person with a mole on the lips will have a tendency of enjoying pleasures and greedy. A person with a mole on the ear will accomplish perfection in almost every field . A mole on either ear tells that the person has a reckless disposition. A Mole on the neck makes the people passive .A person with a mole on the throat is serving in nature. On ankles it is a sign of traveling worries where as in case of females it shows courage. A person having mole on the back one should be beware of hidden matters. If a mole is found on fingers then a person is perfect lier. A mole on the breast is indicative of laziness, which may affect family life. People who possess a mole on their heel make enemies easily and are prone to losing friends. If you have a mole on right knee, it implies that you are a friendly person. A mole on left knee signifies that these people lead an extravagant lifestyle. People who have moles on elbow love to travel. They are adventurous and spirited. If the mole is located on the outer corner of the eye, this indicates that the person is honest, reliable and frank. Moles on arms indicate that the person is polite, diligent and will lead a happy married life. If mole is near the elbow, the man will need to struggle in life,. If the woman has the same characteristics, however, her problems relate to her occupation. The above observations if used intelligently, then it can give fair amount of judgment of people’s life. In the subsequent articles I will try to discuss in detail about the presence of mole in each region which can alter the above result.

Disha Shool

Now a day the traveling becomes indispensable part of our life. Previously the person who enjoys all the comforts at home was considered as the having the best Raj-Yoga. But in new context traveling takes the shape of industry. In our classics some days are considered as inauspicious to travel in particular direction. They term it as Disha-Shool. Disha means direction and shool means thorn. The position of thorn varies according to the day as follows.

Monday --- thorn lies in East

Tuesday --- thorn lies in North.

Wednesday ---thorn lies in North.

Thursday ---thorn lies in South

Friday ---thorn lies in West

Saturday ---thorn lies in East

Sunday --- thorn lies in West

One should avoid the direction of journey where the thorn exists on a particular day.

Tara Chakra

n astrology, a very special place is allotted to planet Moon. A strong moon is capable of removing many doshas single handedly. Now the question is how to judge the strength of moon? For this we use the Tara Bal. The word “Tara” means star and the “Bal” means strength. This give fair idea that which “Nakshatra” is good or bad for a native. If Tara is favourable then it gives strength to Moon. As a result strong moon gives strength to Sun & strong sun gives strength to all planets in horoscope. The strong moon triggers the source of strength of all planets.
Concept
Step -1
Note down your Nakshatra Number and treat it as a Starting point or allot the number 1 to it. This will be your Janam Nakshatra.. For Example A native born in Swati Nakshatra, then “Swati” will be his Janam Nakshatra
Step-2
Begin the counting from your “Janam Nakshatra” and name the following nakshatras sequentially as follows Janam(Already stated in step1),Sampat,Vipat,Kshema,Pratyari,Sadhak,Vadha,Mitra,Adhi-Mitra.Since we have 27 nakshatras in all, therefore after allotting 9 types of names to them we will have 9 groups of 3 nakshatra each.
In an above example the naming will be as follows
Janam(Already stated in step1) – Swati, Shatbhisha, Ardra,
 Sampat-Vishakha,Porva Bhadrapad,Punarvasu
Vipat- Anuradha,U Bhadrapad,Pushya
Kshema- Jyestha,Revati,Ashlesha,
Pratyari- Moola ,Ashwini,Magha.
Sadhak- Porva. Ashada,Bharini,Porva Phaguni,
Vadha- U. Ashada ,Kritika,UPhaguni,
Mitra- Shravana ,Rohini,Hasta,
Adhi-Mitra- Dhanishtha,Mrigshira,Chitra

Rule-

1.From the Janam Nakshatra, the 3rd, 5th and 7th nakshatra is bad. So Vipat,Pratyari and Vadha are bad
2. 2nd,4th, 6th and 8th are best
3. 1st(Janam) and 9th are medium
In a following chart the dasha of saturn was not good because it is in U.Ashada nakshatra which is 7th from his janam nakshatra


Remedy

For Vipat tara- donate salt of 3 tolas(1 tola = 12g approx),raw sugar

For Pratyari tara-donate salt of 5 tola

For Vadha tara-donate salt of 7 tola,Gold,Til

For Janam Tara-donate vegetables

Vish Kanya

Position of moon in horoscope is a key. It's position can make a big difference in predicition. Eeven at the time of match making, the analysis is based on the position of moon. In our classics some yoga has been mentioned which are highly misfortunate.These are called "Vish Kanya Yoga". The word "vish" is called poison and "Kanya" means girl. Even the male born under such combinations has the same effect.
The nakshatras Ashlesha, Vishakha, Jyeshta, and Moola. are trouble causing.
a)One born under Ashlesha first quarter brings death to one's mother-in-law.
b)Those born under Vishakha last quarter could cause death to married partner's younger brother.
c)If born under Jyeshta first quarter, there is danger to partner's elder brother.
d)Those born under Moola first quarter may indicate early death of father-in-law.
The above effects are too general.One parameter can not result in formation of yoga. There must be some supportive combination
VISH-KANYA YOGAS
1)The birth on the 12th Tithi, Shatabhisha nakshatra and on a Sunday.
2)Birth on Tuesday when the Tithi is 7th and the nakshatra happens to be Vishakha.
3)The 2nd Tithi on a Saturday when the Moon is in Ashlesha.
4)Birth on Sunday when the Moon is in Bharani nakshatra.
5)Birth on Monday with the Moon in Chitra.
6)On Tuesday, Moola nakshatra.
7)Combination of Wednesday and Dhanishta.
8)Combination of Thursday and Jyeshta.
9)Combination Friday and Purvashada.
10)Combination Saturday and Revati.
The above combination needs micro analysis.But in modern times it is often seen that the boy and girls matches their charts own with the help of computer on guna basis only which is very risky
