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.

Greh Pravesh

Generally due to modern lifestyle the people living in a city get time to celebrate only on weekends. But from vaastu point of view the Saturday and Sunday is worst day to enter a new house.Apart from them Tuesday is also prohibited. It is believe that “Greh Pravesh” on Saturday results in fear from thieves, and on Sunday and Tuesday leads to dangers from fire. Second consideration is the tithi( lunar date).4,9,14 are called Rikta tithi. Rikta means empty. Therefore these dates are avoided. Other dates can be considered according to position of door as follows
For East facing door-5,10 ,Poornima is auspicious
For South facing door-1,6,11 is auspicious
For West facing door-2,7,12 is auspicious
For North facing door-3,8,13 is auspicious
Third consideration is Month.
The best months are Magha,Fagun,Vaishakh,Jyestha
The second best months are Kartik,Margashish
The worst are Chaitra,Aashad,Bhadrapad,Ashwin and Paush
So next time you enter a new house make sure that you have ample time to take into account the above considerations.

The Dangerous Date

he word “tithi” means date in Hindi. It is formed on the basis of relative distance between sun and moon. In a lunar month there are 30 tithis. The first 15 tithis make up the Shukal Paksha(Bright Half). The next 15 tithi together form Krishna Paksha(Dark half). The 15th tithi of Shukla Paksha is called Poornima because at this time the moon is at maximum distance from the sun. The 15th tithi of Krishna Paksha is called amavasya. Here the moon is closest to the sun. The moon starts loosing its energy after beginning of Krishna Paksha. That is why the Krishna Paksha is not considered auspicious generally. The real trouble begins from the 14th tithi i.e. Chaturdashi of Krishna Paksha.At this time moon is almost approaching towards zero energy.According to our sages birth of a child during this period as very inauspicious. For the sake of calculation. Divide the span of chaturdashi in 6 parts. Each part is called Shashthyansha(the 1/6th part). Following is the effect that can happen if a person born in particular division

First –Auspicious

Second- Problem to father

Third-Problem to mother

Fourth-Problem to Maternal Uncle

Fifth-Loss of next generation

Sixth-Loss of Family

It is crucial to take immediate remedial measures to escape these evil effects.

Naag Devta

The “Panchmi tithi” of lunar calendar in the month of shravana shukla paksha is celebrated as “Naag-panchmai” in India. On this day people pray to snake god. As per legend the snakes also consumed the “Amrit”, the divine nector and attained immortality. They are the children of Sage Kashyapa and Kadru. The kingdom of snakes is “Paatal Lokam”.According to hindu mythology there are 9 snake which are worshipped. They are as follows
1) Vasuki(The snake who participated in the great churning of ocean)
2) Takshak(The powerful snake who killed King Parikshit)
3) Sesha (On which Lord Vishnu resides in vaikunth)
4) Ananta (the great devotee of Lord Vishnu)
5) Kailya (who was killed by lord Krishna and attain the moksham)
6) Padmanabha (the guardian snake)
7) Kambala (the powerful descend of snake kingdom)
8) Dhartarashtra(the powerful descend of snake kingdom)
9) Shankhapala(the powerful descend of snake kingdom)

The pooja is done to avoid snakes bites and get rid of their curse from previous birth. In a horoscope if there is a presence of Kaal-Sarpa Yoga, then this day is very important for that native because this dosha is caused by the Rahu and Ketu which are considered as head and tail of snake respectively. In certain cases these planets single handedly creates havoc in the horoscope by forming “sarpa dosham”. There are many methods to perform the pooja on this day. People keep fast.on this day. Generally a pot of milk is kept near the ant hill as an offering. On this day digging of ground is strictly prohibited.

Date Of Construction

In Indian system the “Tithi”(Hindi Date) plays a very important role in determining the auspiciousness of time or day for a particular activity. The tithi prevailing on the day of construction has to be auspicious to harness the good effects of nature.If we add 4 to the current tithi number and multiply by 2; to this number add letters of the name of owner.Divide the sum by 3. If the remainder is 1 or 2 then the construction on that day will result all round benefits and if remainder is 3 then it will cause inauspicious results to the owner.
Example
If a owner Ram Kumar want to begin the construction on Panchami tithi, then calculations will be as follows
Current Tithi=5
Letters in the name of owner=8
Formula=(((5+4)x2)+8 )/3=26/3
Remainder=2
Result=Auspicious
