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

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.

Sarpa Dosham

Meaning

It is often seen than despite having good Dasha the good results does not accrue to the native.Before analysing the "Sarpa Dosham" it is necessary to identify the badhak planet.The word "Badhak" means obstruction. In horoscope there are certain position from a house which are called badhak sthan & it's lords are called Badhakesh

How to Determine
From the Movable sign the 11th house from it is called badhak sthan
From the Fix sign the 9th house from it is called badhak sthan
From the Dual sign the 7the house from it is called badhak sthan



Sarpa Dosha
In Astrology the plante Rahu represent the " Snake" or "Sarpa"
Rahu along with Badhakesh plays the major role in creating dosha in horoscope .
Any connection of Rahu with the Lord of badhak sthan is dangerous.
Even placement of Rahu in 6/8/badhak sthan creates dosha.
Jupiter the divine planet if at all get associiated with Badhakesh having rahu/gulika in trines created the same dosha.Sun- Rahu or Moon- Rahu Conjunction is also responsible for the above dosha


Remedy
Donate small eggs of gold/copper if Rahu is in Dual Sign
Donate small eggs of silver/copper if Rahu is in movable Sign
Plant Trees if Rahu is in fix Sign

Mangal ya Amangal

The word " Mangal Dosha " is the word which get a lot of hype while matching a chart.A native is considered to be “Manglik” when Mars is placed in the first, second, fourth, seventh, eighth or twelfth house from the natal ascendant or Moon. Some modern astro-researchers even include these positions from Venus. If all those concepts are totally true then in this way more eighty (80%) percent of the human beings are Manglik. The said position of Mars in a horoscope does not make a native Manglik in case the Mars is a functional benefic for the natal chart. The natal charts where Mars becomes functional malefic i.e. Virgo, Scorpio and Taurus ascendant charts, it can generate the results of the so-called Manglik yoga if the association of Mars is close/exact to the middle point of the house and the lord of the house where Mars is posited, is weak. There is no exception to this combination. However, the close aspects of a efficient benefic Jupiter is capable of warding off the evils generated by Mars to a large extent.Apart from that there are other factors also like the rashi which is influenced by mars.It makes a lot of difference while judging the chart.In the case of a boy, the dosha is highest for the seventh house and in case of the girl the dosha is at the peak for the eighth house.In addition to Mars, the fire planets Ketu and Sun also should be considered in counting the number of dosha’s in a horoscope. . In addition to the fiery planets, there is another group, which are also Papa grahas (malefics). These are Saturn and Rahu. These planets placed in similar positions should be considered in counting dosha’s. However the property of the dosha given by these planets is different - usually they are seen to cause delays in getting married, difficult relationships, bitterness and general unhappiness. Thus Saturn/ Rahu dosha’s in one horoscope cannot be matched with Mars/ Ketu dosha’s in the other horoscope.

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.
