Job and Astrology

These days millions of dollars are spend on recruitment in an organization. The relation between employer and employee is very crucial for the success of an organization. In the same way for an employee it is the job-satisfaction that is important. From astrological point of view the day on which recruitment is taking place is very important for both employer and employee.

From Employers Point of View- Check the nakshatra of the day on which he want to recruit an employee. Now count from his Janam Nakshatra till todays Nakshatra. (Note Abhijit Nakshatra has to be included in the counting.). If the result comes out to be 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,15,16,17,18,19,20,21 then it would be auspicious recruitment.

Example Suppose todays nakshatra is Pushya and the employer’s nakshatra is Ashwini. Now count from Ashwini till Pushya it comes to be 8. So it won’t be beneficial to recruit an employee.

From Employees point of view- Suppose on the day of filling an application is Punarvasu nakshatra and the janam Nakshatra of the candidate is Kritika. Now count from the Kritika till Punarvasu we get 5. So it would be auspicious to file an application on this day.

This is very helpful method for determining the best day for filling application for new job or recruiting new employee.

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

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!!!

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.

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

Recovery Time

In Kaliyuga the maximum age allotted to human being is 120 years. But as we are moving ahead in Kaliyuga despite having money and technology we are unable to combat 100 % successfully against the diseases. In Jyotish there are some section in our classics which are taught as medical astrology in various schools of astrology. One can predict the recovery time of the disease with the help of astrological principals


If the disease starts at the following Nakshatra    Recovery time
1.Moola,Kritka,Ashwini                                                09 days
2.Magha                                                                      20 days
3.Vishakha,Hasta,Dhanishta                                         15 days
4.Bharini,Shravna,Shatbhisha,Chitra                            11 days
5.U.Phaguni,U.Bhadrapad,,Pushya,Punarvasu,Rohini     07 days
6.Mrigshira,U.Ashada                                                    30 days
7.Revati,Anuradha                                                  Delayed recovery
8.Swati,Jyeshtha,3-Poorva,Ardra,Ashlesha                 No Recovery
The bottom group is highly dangerous.If a person falling ill on Tuesday,Sunday or Saturday coinciding with nakshatra belongs to last group with rikta tithes(4/9/14) then disease may be highly troublesome

Magic of 108

Zodiac is a path on which the planets travel. Entire path is divided into 27 nakshatras. Each having 4 padas. Our sages multiplied this number of nakshatras (27) by four and fixed the resultant number (108) as the required number of beads in a rosary. In astrology 1 day and 1 night together makes 1 ahoratra. A human being breathes 21600 times in an Ahoratra. Classics advice that a person tells a rosary with 108 beads at least once in a day simultaneously chanting the Lord's name, all the breaths find a purpose. If rosary is told with proper rituals, it yields hundred times more benefits. By proper rituals, it means telling of rosary at least 100 times a day. Thus it equals (108 x 100) to 10800 i.e. equal to half the number of breaths during an Ahoratra which is requirement number for human to devote his breaths in god’s name. Another view is that in Sanskrit, the language of God has 54 letters. Each has masculine and feminine, Shiva and shakti. 54 times 2 is 108.It is believe that the human soul goes through 108 stages on the journey to God. In Ayurveda there are a 108 marmas in the body. They are points that can heal or kill a living being. When we say 108 mantras it acts as a Kavach (protection) to each point. If we add the number we get the total of 9.Nine is sometimes connected to Ketu, the moksa Karaka (significator of liberation), the planet that brings higher awareness, expanded vision and moksha (liberation). In the Durga Saptasati, the goddess Durga has nine forms known as the Navadurga. The number 9 is connected to the goddess Durga.In Hindu jyotish it is godess Durga who guards the prana of the body.

Nakshatra Daan

The donation of a particular thing in a particular nakshatra is called “ nakshatra daan” and it has its own significance. But its important to donate only specific thing associated with the nakshatra at the time of donation. Following are the things to be donated in each nakshatra.
1)Ashwini - Donate a chariot with good horse(a vehicle in modern contex) –
2)Bharani - Donate Til Dhenu
3) Kritika – donate milk products
4) Rohini –donate ghee
5) Mrigshiraa - Donate milk
6) Aardra – donate Til
7) Punarvasu - Donate Pooaa (a kind of Indian sweet bread)
8) Pushya - Donate gold (any yellow metal in modern context)
9) Ashlesha - Donate silver
10)Maghaa - donate Til
11) Poorvaa Phaalguni - Donate vehichle
12) Uttaraa Phaalguni - Donate gold

Note-Every charity has a specific effect .

Marriage of Eldest Son in Jyestha Month

The eldest child in a family is called “Jyeshtha”.The word “Jyeshtha” is also use for one of the lunar month in Hindu calendar and for the nakshatra also. In astrology it is considered highly inauspicious the marriage of eldest child in a month of Jyeshtha.At the same time jyeshtha nakshatra add fuel to fire. The three Jyeshthas-the eldest child,the month and the nakshatra constitutes the “Tri Tara Dosha”. If we examine the above rule then one can find interesting correlation between the above cause and effect relation. The 5th house of a horoscope represent the eldest child. In kaal purush horoscope the 5th house is ruled by the planet Sun. During the period of Jyeshtha month, the sun transits through the “Ardra” nakshatra. This transit is very sensitive transit.Even all the weather forecasting is based upon this transit. Jyeshtha nakshatra falls in scorpio while Ardra nakshatra falls in Gemini. This is a 6/8 relation indicating death. Now counting from “Jyeshtha nakshatra” the Ardra nakshatra is 16 which is malefic(star of death).So, this malefic transit futher intensifies when all the three clubbed together. Even in case of emergency if marriage has to be performed, do make sure that other elements of muhurat should be strong enough.
