Iwo folds. Firstly, there is hardly any description available in the pristine scriptures and also in the contem porary w ritin g s and se co n d ly , th e s u ffic ie n t and accu ra te astrological data about the company are never recorded. Where ever such information is available even in a crude form, the same is rarely passed on to heuristic researchers. It affronts great difficulties in analysing the com pany's futuristic pattern of growth. Vedic Astrology is traditional 'jyostish Shnstra' of India. The etymology of the words suggests 'Jyoti' as a 'Divine Light' and 'Tisha' is science. The science of divine light. Sim ilarly, 'Astro' connotes 'Stars' and suggests astrology as the science of the stars or heavenly bodies. Infact, astrology or Jyostish Shastra is one of the constituents of Dharma Shastra w hich synthesis all the fields of learnings. ’A stronom y1, 'Horoscopy1 and 1Samhita' are some of its components. The Jyotish was being practiced by our sages and seers from time im m em o rial. O ur m y th o lo g ica l teach in g s b ear am ple re fe re n ce s to the ce le stia l o b je cts and co rresp o n d in g terrestrial events. The term 'Samhita' means compilation which condenses m an y scrip tu re s and w orks on a su b je ct. S im h ita in astro lo g ical co n text is the garnering of all astrological treatises which influence or are connected with the human affairs. Mundane astrology bears many prolific features of human interests and Samhita therefore, amalgamates varied subjects of social learnings. Birhat Samhita is one of such highly acclaimed testimony expounded by well known astrological savant Varaha Mihira. He gave this unique encyclopaedic treatise which is revered even today.

Knhu-Ketu showed the scientific acumen. This theory of iinl ronomical lore placed him amongst the galaxy of scholars in this field. His concept that the Sun forming the centre place iitul regulating the celestial forces of the universe shows his ri'lcntless efforts to draw out gross effects and establish Ini luence of the Sun over the solar system. The word Mihira «hinds for Sun that helped shaping his pursuits. In Brihat Samita, the countries are apportioned into nine I crim es on the basis of nakshatras and symbolically called /■untia Vibhaga (Division of Globe). Besides, people etc., are hIno c la s s ifie d and b ro u g h t u n d er th e d o m a in s of ci mslellations and planets. These factors form the very basis nl mundane astrology. It also sp eaks about plan etary kingdom where years, months and days are presided over by different planets to elate the effects of mundane affairs corresponding to the signification of the concerned planet In a p articu lar period. Judging the im portance of this illvisionlisation, a detail description of Kurma Chakra has been made in chapter-5 lim iting the inform ation to the requirement of the book. Besides, this chapter of Brihat Simita have commercial lineages with the present time which holds great value in commercial astrology. In this book an attempt has been made to include such m a teria ls w h ich p ro v id e co m p re h e n siv e y et co g en t n.slrological information with a view to render meaningful Niipport to the business persons and investors alike in making timely and prudent decisions to accentuate gains and also In avert losses. As per the astrological precepts, unless material gains lire prom ised in the n atal ch art of an in d iv id u a l, the prosperity is hard to come. There always has been fervent desire of a person to live a com fortable and blissful life. I lowever, affluency does play dominant part in providing

oxtihemnl life style for which the past karmas are much to Ntiy In it, though ostensibly, this is taken as a result of ones own efforts. Every one at his own right articulates one's iiiixiely differently and is eager to know material prosperity and financial successes. As we know the wealth does not always manifest happiness even though people run after it. Abundant richness is never a source to mental solace and bliss but still many pursue the money matters with full jest and zeal as they consider it most potential strength and impregnate power of the material world. This hallucination of thoughts often confuse the people to adjudge the real goal of life. However, there are specific celestial laws which bestow wealth and riches to the native. The horoscopes presage source and, tim e of acquiring w ealth. The cosm ic rays emanating from the Sun denote status to be enjoyed by the native and the Moon generates the creativity for the person. The placement and inter-influence between the luminaries in harmonious houses, create most effective combinations of riches. Besides, configuration of heavenly objects relating to wealth in one's chart translates unequivocal opulence effects. A rudimentary principle is that the houses above the horizon are of much g rea ter sig n ific a n ce as they p o rtray the prosperity provided the planets tenanting these houses do not mitigate their potency. The wealth is attributed to 2nd and the 11th houses irrespective of Ascendant. While the 5th' and the 9th houses signify speculation and fortune respectively. The permutation and combination between the lords of these houses insinuate the possible avenues for acquiring w ealth and riches. The dignity and intrinsic qualities of the planets determine the mode of sourcing the wealth. The interpose of the lord of the 6th house with the consortium of the planets representing the w ealth giving

houses, procreates gains through share markets, lotteries and other speculatory pursuits. The influence of the lord of the 8th house bestow s w indfall gains and acquisition of wealth through inheritance. An adage of astrology on wealth epitomised in Jaktak Bharnam says that the planets posited and aspecting the 2nd hou se ( D hana B hava) and the lo rd of the 2n d hou se symbolised as Dhana Karaka, when get influenced by each other while in transit, it indicates the right time to realise wealth. If the planets involved in contribution happened to be the fast moving ones, the conjunction during the transit is going to be rather frequent. The progressed dasas of these planets are another angle to fix the point of acquisition of wealth. A d ju d g in g th e re lev a n cy of D hana y og as in the commercial astrology, a full chapter is devoted to it. This chapter blends the components of wealth yielding renderings both in vedic and western astrology. While Dhana yogas are drawn from the classical scriptures including from jaimini Sutrams so to say. In western astrology wealth combinations involving Fortuna were cited. This is followed by a full set of classical yogas relating to riches with illu strations of imminent personalities to prove the point that some strong combinations delivering successes, do exist in the horoscopes of these affluent people. Electional astrology is yet another facet of astrology that plays effective role in shaping the success in a well begin venture. As selection of right and opportune time is like seeking mandate in reaching out to favourable consequences. Although electional astrology is a subsidiary to horoscopy, it has distinct place of its own in astrology. In the modern time, a person yearns for the m ost propitious moments because a failure procreates more losses and pains in this

competitive world. The reverses leave telling effects on a business but starting a venture at an auspicious moment is like harnessing the cosmic energies to ones advantage. There is no human activity on earth that does not beseech divine support. The muhurta (electional astrology) has assumed tremendous significance, more so in the present day life. The underlying idea of including a chapter is to expose the readers to the fundam entals of electional astrology in a succinct form. Its necessity is felt primarily due to the fact that even a person armed with the expertise of the trade and fu ll know ledge of m arket in tellig en ce may fa il w hich otherw ise is thought to be a profit making deal. On the c o n tra ry , if one tak es a p lu n g e at a rig h t m u hu rta recom m end ed for a p articu lar w ork, it o rd a in s great confidence and also dispels apprehensions of uncertainty and imparts smooth play in the endeavour. We all know that value of time is immeasurable. The celestial forces procreate every object in the nature at a particular moment, develop it for a certain length of time and .dissipate it on an appointed time. To comprehend this phenom enon, it is essential to understand the heavenly currents that influence the recurrent activities. It is suffice to know that we are living in an environment of vibratory energies which regulate the cyclic functions of creating developing and destroying. The radiations emanating from the celestial bodies though invisible, it greatly affect the proceedings relating to life cycle. The Sun w hich unites energies, has the predominance over the solar system and thus is the prime force in governing the life process. The perpetual assim ilations of this planetary energies by our ancient sages were subtle and accurate which formed the fundam entals of vedic astrology, especially in m uhurata because the elected time for a specific event is that when all the propitious vibrations are focussed onto it so that the

Similarly, the signification of planets are also confined to earthly effects with m ain em phasis on the com m ercial activities such as bullion, stock exchanges, markets and other business related matters.

importance. Being distant, slow and weighty planets, their effects last for a much longer duration. Besides, they are the integral part of the solar system and also seen playing dom inant role in com m ercial activities apart from the terrestrial affairs. On the same analogy, both vedic and western aspects are described. No doubt vedic aspects are no less efficacious but since western aspects are reckoned within one degree; it produces much subtle and dainty results. Involvement of trans-Saturian planets and western aspects are inescapable rather is an obligatory requirement in deciphering the potent effects. Long terms m arket fluctuations are traced through heavy outer planets while minor planets cause short term m arket trends. Mercurv J and Venus destabilise the markets Л >,/V/ more often but for a short span. These prodigious effects make the speculators and investors guessing. Navavmsa is most valuable harmonic division of vedic astrology. Navatnasa plays exceptionally important role in outlining the results. The dignity and strength of a planet get altered due to its corresponding position in the navamsa chart. Just as the status of a planet in navamsa supports the p red iction in a natal astrology, so also in com m ercial astrology, it brings forth startling effects. The market trends from the navam sa's positions of each planet have been described with specific reference to stock share, bullion and other markets of the leading items.

Icom the point of view of the market trends. The occurrences ul eclipses coupled with configuration of major planets, impel far reaching consequences. There was a total lunar ci'lipse on the lst/2nd night of Septem ber 1997 and was visible in Asia including all parts of India. During the whole year 1997, major planets like Jupiter, Uranus and Neptune remained in Capricorn sign. At this juncture, severe drops were registered in the indices of the major stock exchanges ul Ihe leading nations of South-East Asia, including Japan, I long Kong, Singapore etc. India was no exception. The currencies of all these countries plummeted as compared to American dollar. Therefore, groupings or movements of outer planets and corresponding eclipses are to be closely watched as these are generally found to coincide with the Important events in the countries associated with such signs. The monthly m arket trends are based on the solar Ingress as the Sun regulates the solar month. Besides, the Sun's entry into the first degree of Aries sign every year is very significant because it holds clue to what all is going to eventuate or turn out to be during the impending year and in what propensity? The position of planets at the time of solar ingress, impart critical role in predicting the year long activities. In chapter-11, the effects of various rising signs at Ihe tim e of solar in g ress over the m arkets of sev eral com m odities have been succinctly described. T his was followed by explaining the results of Sun's entry in different zodiacal signs by observing the relationship between solar ingreses and m arket trends of many com m odities. This chapter is concluded with some snippets of widely acclaimed ancient expositions on the subjects for the benefit of the readers. The application of Sarvatobhadra chakra in delineating the price fluctuations has been found quite effective. In this

( '.litikra, the nakshatras hold the fixed yet key position while the transits of planets through these nakshatras presage the behaviour of various markets and chart out the pricing trends of the commodities denoted by the planets and nakshatras causing vedhas, signs, nakshatras and planets suffering vedhas. It is important to note that the planets and signs involved in vedhas should otherwise be engaged in aspects during the transit. In the absence of which a vedha ends up in frivolity. On the face of it, the chakra looks plain and simple but in practice, it is not so as delineation through it depends upon many complicated factors, such as speed and motion of the planets which springs sudden shifts in vedha from one direction to another direction that may either fritter away the effects all together or get reversed. This is however, compact yet versatile system which unfolds complete market behaviour. Besides, it also provides significant clues to other mundane affairs. A great deal of efforts have gone into it in gathering, collating and experimenting multitudinal details to bring forth a well crafted chapter on Sarvatobhadra Chakra which hopefully the reader will find quite informative and useful. In 1997, the gold and silver markets moved in opposite directions inasmuch as there were series of slumps in gold prices while silver showed buoyancy. The movements were replicated over the chakras as displayed in the last chapter. The efficacy of chakra is demonstrated in tracing the peaks and bottoms of BSE Sensex indices during the same year. Owing to constraint of space and other compulsions, the versatility of chakra had to be limited but chapter-12 beholds enough information and clues for the reader to try out and see for them selves the astounding results through this system, not only in the field of commercial astrology but also in other mundane matters. The heavenly bodies travel at different speeds and

motions except the Sun the Moon and soli-Iunar nodes. These movements are controlled and regulated by the Sun who governs the entire solar system. The planetary course, in the universe is traced through the projections as observed from Ihe Earth. Since Earth rotates on its own orbit, the planets uppear to be receding due to relative motion. This is the state of apparant retrograde motion of planet. In switching over from direct to retrograde motion and vice versa, a planet acquires d ifferent speeds spaning from acceleration to Ntationary. T hese v arigated m otions and speed s make perceptible impact over the worldly affairs. This theory with Mpecific emphasis on the commercial activities have been dealt at length in chapter-13. This chapter also carries fullest description on the concept of heliacal settings and risings of planets which relate to their disappearance and reappearance In the vicinity of the Sun whereby planets lose their strength. ( Obviously their impact either bullish or bearish over the m arkets g et fritte re d aw ay. C lo se o b se rv a n ce of the movements and states of planets, provides answers to many vexatious market situations. The business astrology is also related to the study of tlw prospects of a business concern presaged from the horoscope drawn on the date and time of its incorporation. This segment of astrology has not been popular, like the other disciplines, which is primarily due to the fact that accurate data of the form ation of the com pany is generally not available. Besides, the time tested principles and expositions on this aspect are hardly found because this form of astrology was not pursued in the ancient texts. However, when scope of m undane a stro lo g y w as e n la rg ed w ith the rap id development of commercial activities with inherent risk, a lew scholars devoted some time to study astro- effects on the business houses. The approach is not well directed and progress is rather tardy. Hence awareness on the subject has not gained much momentum due to the lack of scriptural support.

However, the general approach is that when a company is incorporated and assumes a separate entity, a heavenly figure of that epoch is drawn which is termed as company's chart like a natal horoscope. If a company commences a new venture or undertakes expansion, the chart of that moment is erected to assess the prospects of stich ventures. In the absence of the basic details, 12-00 noon time, when the Sun is at zenith is taken as time of formation of the company. The chart also helps to predict the results from the Moon sign and in vedic astrology it is reckoned as equal to the Ascendant. The corporation's chart depicts the on going operations but subtle results are hard to delineate with accuracy. In chapter-14, the significations of houses relating to various corporate activities have been described on a much larger format to cover all the perceptible manifestations in the business'. The effects of lunation occurring on different houses of the horoscope have also been corroborated to adjudge the monthly business trends. As mentioned above, the 1997 was an eventful year and one of the astrological reasons was the association of three major planets who remained in Capricorn sign through out the year. Incidentally, India fall in the ambit of this sign. There was Jupiter, Neptune conjunction on the 9th January1 97 w hich was follow ed by Ju p iter-U ran u s conju nction occurring on the 16th February 97. While Jupiter is planet of expansion and growth, Uranus springs suddenness and brings abrupt changes and wild fluctuations in the market prices due to its evil nature. Neptune is a planet of chaos and d isso lu tio n . The a sso cia tio n and then fo rm in g a conjunction, had set the tone and tenor of the markets. Total instability and uncertainty prevailed. The graph of stock market i.e., BSE Sensex index first climbed in January1 97 followed by a decline and then again rose to touch 4568 point on the 6th August 97 heights ju st fell little short of the

Sep tem ber' 94 mark at 4646. T h ereafter, a slum p was witnessed and Sensex index plunged to 3320 point on the 11th D ecem ber 97. Sim ilarly, gold prices by and large remained subdued and at one stage of the year, it ruled 12 year low which was a phenomenon and kept the speculators and investors at tenter-hook all through. On the other side, the silver markets showed buoyancy and it crossed Rs 8000per kg in that year. However, it also touched dicey low values creating flutters for the traders and consumers a like. The unusual behaviour of the above three m arkets including gold have illustratively been dealt with in the last chapter. The planetary conjunctions and aspects formed during the said period have fully supported the market tren d s. T he sam e e ffe c ts are a lso ch e ck e d th ro u g h Sarvatobhadra Chakra and it was proved that the m arket fluctuations in respective of bullion and stock share were in consonance with the cosmic laws and astrological precepts. In fine, it is true to say that in astrology, each business and activity of a trade house can be graphed as every trade do have time of birth i.e., when it was initiated. It is equally possible to ascertain w hether a venture w ill succeed or otherw ise by know ing w hen it has com m enced. If the beginning is made on a propitious time and the promoter holds promise in his horoscope, the chances of success are exceedingly high. T h is book is n o t m ea n t to be a tre a tis e or an encylopaedia. It is just a guide and if the esteemed readers f ind nt places a cursory treatment, absence of details or any omissions/errors, the author may be excused. I acknowledge my indebtedness to all the authors whose works I referred to as a source of information while writing this book.

FOREW ORD "V edic A strology in M oney M atters" by M r. P.K. VflNtidev is a welcome addition in astrological literature in Iin 1iii nay the whole world. "Dharma", "Artha", "Kama" and "M oksha" are four pillars II ti l he continued existence and sustenance of the society at i«lI levels. G andhiji said that the m easurem ent of good ( iovernment depends on how its subjects grow "Morally", "Socially" and "Economically". Tulsidas says in Ram-Charitra Mimas, "Poverty is the greatest curse of life on this earth". Hi им, the survival and sustenance of all types of life and in llvilies on this earth solely depend on economic prosperity, which in turn depends on making investments, earnings and PHpi*nditures at right moments and in correct directions. As и mutter of fact, every human being, a company or a nation littN to decide their mode of investm ent and industry at an opportune moment for a sound business proposition. Out of twelve houses in a nativity, six houses have direct b

Prasara Hora Shastra has therefore, laid down excellent conditions for enjoyment of life if lord of the 12th house meets the auspicious conditions namely: it should be friendly to the Ascendant lord, occupying the 5th, the 9th or the 11th house, in its own, Mool Trikona and in exaltation signs, with auspicious planets or in Vargas of signs occupying the 5th, the 9 th or the 11th sign in Rashi (birth) chart. On the other hand, all energies are im parted by 27 Nakshatras. Thus the interaction of Nakshatras, houses, signs and planets gives an idea about the direction in which an individual should make his or her investment which have an auspicious influence in the horoscope and can give economic prosperity to a native. The present book would be of immense value and help in this direction. It would help the natives to choose proper tim ing and direction for their economic activities. It gives different yogas and methods to judge ones own nativity from financial stand point, as well as indications for the prosperity of a company. The technique of the use of "Sarvatobhadra Chakra" on fin a n cia l m atters has been explain ed in an elaborate manner and would universely help to judge right time in selecting companies for investment or for trading and other economic activities. Д: earnestly hope th at this book may prove an excellent guide to plan economic activities both by individuals and the corporate sector as a whole.

CHAPTER -1 TH E IN V EST O R S Astrology is an integrated science and also a kind of "D harm a S h astra" . T his divine scien ce has fo u r m ojor branches viz., N atal, H orary, E lection al and M undane Astrology. This ancient testimonial of vedic origin in which the mankind all over the world has reposed an im plicit faith, has been handed down to us by our sages. Our vedas hold G rah as (P la n e ts ), N a k sh a tra s (Constellations), Ritus (Seasons), Grahanas (Eclipses), Tithies (Lunar days), Paksha (Fortnight), M asa (Lunar m onths), Samvatsara (Year) etc., which are astronomical happenings. The fact that astronomy and astrology are being the limbs of vedas, is quite evident from our scriptures.' The astronomy is sequel to astrology. The astrologers, to begin with, had shown interest in astronomy to compute the positions of the stars in the celestial hemisphere. This pursuit was mainly to know what was stored for the nation, kingdom or rulers rather than for the individuals. The astrologers in those days, concentrated on the horoscopes of the kings in order to know w hether good fortu ne was promised to the kingdom or not as the destiny of kingdom and its subjects were connected with the fate of the King. Therefore, at first, the horoscopes of the members of the royal families were read because the rulers were looked up by their subjects for the preservation of the growth of the nation. But

liuliiy u.slrology is open to all including the rulers. Apart from the four branches of astrology listed out earlier,'Natural Astrology' which originally was the part of Mundane astrology has, of late gained great importance and assumed its own utility.The astrologers are taking keen interest in the study of this facet of astrology. Natural or Physical astrology depicts the influence of the luminaries and the planets upon tides and other terrestrial phenomena i.e., the atmosphere, climates, seasons, weather, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions etc. Mundane astrology takes into consideration the disposition of heavenly bodies and relates them to the p ro sp e rity and a d v ersity of n ation s and communities. Therefore, it deals with all such matters which have relation with the governments, rulers, places, wars, revolution^, famines and everything that has reference to the people in general. Horary astrology has reference to horoscopes erected at the time when a person has an earnest and intense desire to know the result or effect of any undertaking or impending event. An astrologer having competence in this field, would provide information sought for by the querent provided that person has complete faith in this science and genuine urge of knowing the answer to the query. /•И • Mi !’' •'• *»' Пi 1 7 • i On the other hand, Natal astrology is that department of cosmic science which considers the individual and all things that pertain to a native . It may, however, be clearly understood that the horoscopes indicate tendencies only and depict what is likely to happen. It has an inestimable value is assisting the individual to know and be forewarned to avert evils or to take advantage of the opportunity provided by 'Fate' per se. •• :

The nations w hich have sound 14 onomic base and sustainable peace, the living standards nl llu'ir people become quite high. On the contrary, a nation coding under the disturbed conditions with poor economy i пи hardly provide healthy environments to its people. In IIn' former case, the nation would be under the influence of Iwnofic planetary disposition and while in the latter, malefic pliinots would be causing adverse effects. Trading and other economical affairs can not escape the Influence of celestial bodies. Although this forms part of m undane a stro lo g y , the in crea sed a ctiv itie s in stock exchanges and speculalory dealings, have promted many UNtrologers to work in this field rather more seriously. The iiHlrology of the commodities remained one of the segments of the divine science and many references are available in Ihe ancient scriptures related to astrology. However, with Iho latest developments in handling forward tradings and nffairs of stock markets astrologically, the interest of the m undane astrolog y has been profou nd ly focussed on Commercial Astrology which deals with the commodities markets and other commercial and speculatory activities guided by the principles of the V edic Astrology. India has mothered astrology, yet the commercial astrology has a lot of scope for research and sustained study, especially in the urea of Stock Exchanges and Stock Markets which started operating in India q u ite ’late as com pared to thg other developed countries of the world. Besides, many facets of commercial activities have ajso undergone dramatic changes. Trading, by and large, has come in the hands of professionals who employ many scientific tools in managing the affairs, i The scriptures (Shastrns) of our sages and also Works •

Although the present breed of astrologers through their serious works and experience have tried to fit in the new inventory of item s in the ariibit of signs and planets, yet much more work is still required to be done before one could reach on a firm ground and say something with an element of certainty. In this book an attempt has been made to sift out certain important axioms and basic '„Sutras' to show how planetary in flu e n c e s o v er th e co m m o d itie s m ake a p a rticu la r commodity to become scarce or su^pfus. TThis is the major factor to guide the pricing pattern of any com m odity. Drought, flood, good rains etc., which have direct impact over the production of the commodities, have explicitly been dealt by the learned of astrology. The role of solar and lunar eclipses is predominant in the mundane astrology so is in the commercial astrology. Com m ercial astrology, therefore, is the m ost useful branch of astrology. This is also based on the classical principles of natal astrology. The indepth knowledge of natal astrology is necessary to understand and practice commercial astrology. As stated earlier, it dw ells on the commodity m arkets which are the very basis through w hich Stock M arkets are studied. Vedic Astrology through its centuries of sustained studies of the celestial bodies and their effects on the terrestrial life, formulated certain combinations to understand the fluctuations, both in terms of quantum and prices.

T he su p p ly and d em and is th e b a sic e co n o m ic phenomenon which brings abo^t ups and downs in the prices of arjy commodity. Abundance of a particular item i miNes slu^rjp while shortage gives rise to prices. The political Mcenario both dom estic and in tern a tio n a l, have d irect Iwarings on the prices. Even at times, in the era of plenty, IIn* prices still sour high due to artificial scarcity created by Ilie speculators or monopolistic conditions. But in effect, such conditions are created by the planetary configurations or Influences put forth by a set of planets capable of creating ж arcity even though the items are available in abundance.

On the other hand, Saturn's influence cau ses sh o rtag e , fa m in e like co n d itio n s and in tu rn appreciates the prices of all the commodities under its spell. Likewise, the other malefic planets viz., Mars, the Sun, the waning Moon, afflicted Mercury, Rahu, Uranus, Neptune do bring rise in the prices during their transit over the signs, of the items signified by them. The fluctuations often render-7 contrary effects in the stock markets. For example, a shortage of a particular item brings rise to the prices but the shares of I he same item falls. W hen Rahu was in Libra in the year 1976 and 1977, the prices of clothes went up due to strike in the textile mills. Venus being the lord of Libra denotes cloth. As a result of these developments, the shares of the company dealing with the textile materials got depressed.

and petroleum products. As the civilisation progressed, the mankind constantly raised their standard of living. To make living more and more comfortable, inventions were made constantly.In ordey to regulate the activities of human being in a cohesive manner, the concept of trading through circulation of money was innovated. The inventors kept on evolving sim ple yet effective methods in their pursuits to gain maximum with least possible investments. This gave birth to trading norms which governs every business and trading centres even today. „л/ All the Trading centres and Business Cham bers of Commerce have formulated their own set of rules to regulate their activities. Their norms have sim ilarities as well as differences depending upon prevailing local traditions, characteristic of a particular commodity and different laws promulgated by the state authorities. Based on the regulatory provisions of each Chamber of Commerce or Trading Centre, the transitions of buying and selling take effect through different modes which in common business parlance are called trading, speculation, forward trading etc. Trading : an intrinsic nature : It is an in trin sic nature of the m an kind to make maximum profits with bare minimum investments and also w ith least botherations. M ost of the persons w ith such tendencies, undertake different pursuits to achieve their objectives. However, keeping this aim of making quick bucks at the back of their minds, the trade commonly ventured by them 'is forward trading or speculation.

favourable swing is found, the deal should be concluded. Ups and dow ns in th e p rices are n o t a daily phenomenon. A particular trend remains for weeks and ^t J i p ^ , for m on th s together and then only'ifte^Hmits'of' the ^swingfgets film ed up. Small gains here and there should not be taken a level of overall income because it is quite possible that a few weeks of favourable trend may not come again for months together. Assessment of gains, is therefore, be on the basis of overall income for a particular period rather than on short terms of gains. Principles guiding markets : Before we really set on to describe principles guiding bullish and bearish trends for trading, one thing should be clearly understood that there are mainly two systems of generating profits. Firstly, to produce such items or facilities through which the needs and wants of public, at large, are met or helps those persons who are behind producing such items. Secondly, to solicit gains by exploiting desperate needs of the others. This strategy also forms part of forwardtrading because copious gains are made on other's compulsions and privation. By generating demands through this practice force the persons to pay any price for their urgent requirements. On the contrary, a spurt in the production depresses the dem and and m arket becom es slu g gish and no one is prepared to pay even the right price. An astute businessman is always at the look out for such desperate situations to make neat profits through manipulations. Efforts are always made by the government to control the surplus production to check the price line in order to repose confidence in the public, On the other hand, traders attem pt to create shortages to fetch the desired price. A few decades back, standing crop of cotton ctc., used to be burnt down to generate the demand. Tho speculatory trading rem ains the best business

Use of Print M edia : Number of leading dailies are also releasing newspaper exclusively dealing with the financial activities of the world in general and of the country in p articu lar. These are popularly known as "Pink Papers".

In the event of firm economy, the inflationary trends remain under control. In India, agricultural production predominantly depends upon the level of rains each J year. лу j г г ^ . й.-л/.с at-o-b0 ' , , Bulk of the agriculture spread is in non-irrigated areas.and even the irrigated areas suffer on account of scanty, rains particularly, in the hilly regions as rivers carry less water and also dry up soon. Therefore, if timely rains are not there or monsoon fails, the prices of agricultural produce shoot up. On the other hand, in the event of good crops, the prices of the commodities get depressed. In addition, the effect of the shortage of other inputs such as fertilizer etc., is also tremendous. To arrest the inflationary trend, if government resort to timely imports of scarce items, the prices would be controlled.

Updating with the fiscal and financial policies of the major players of the world help identifying the capital environment and of leading countries. It has become more relevant in the present state of liberalisation of the our country's trading policies where multinational companies are evincing great interest in shaping the business atmosphere on a positive note. Beware of p olitical pronouncem ents : The transitionary economic scenario of 1994-97 has set the tone of Brisk and reckless buying and selling without serious calculations. These moves are purely speculatory. Therefore, this is the time when temptations are resisted to avoid regrets later because stability in the economy is yet to arrive as government policies are still to be firmed up. Infact, g o v ern m en t rem ain s u n stab le and d abb ling w ith the country's future. Most of the schemes being pronounced at this juncture can not be taken at their face value as the economic situation still remains unclear. To illustrate; in the early part of the month of January 1997, the than Prime Minister Mr. H. D. Deve Gowda gave a statem ent that the government would announce a major economic package within a w eek's time to boost the capital market and resort to "borrow ings" to bridge the mounting gap in the oil pool account.

It is noticed that a bullish trend sets in whenever a good news breaks but buying should only be resorted to when uptrend sustains. At the same time when a bad news hits the market or for a particular company, there would, be panic selling and buying at that stage yields good returns as after the panic is over, there would be an upswing. iv) Buy only th ose sto ck s w hich you h av e been monitoring and whose trend has been established for some time. Do npt go in for blind scrips which are unknown. Never speculate without knowing the healthiness of the stocks.

In India we find references of astrological renderings in the ancient scriptures like R am ayana and Mnhabharata. In the modern time, scientists of great eminence like Isaac Newton had reposed great faith in this divine science and recognised the effects of celestial bodies over the terrestrial activities. He infact him self was an ardent astrologer. He once retorted his pupil who had disregarded and ridiculed astrology by saying "I have studied these things and you haven't".This was a befitting answer to those who are scepticals about the efficacy of the astrologv, as their ostentations are based on the high conduct and achievements of science. Now there are many renowned scientists and a stro n o m e rs w ho are g e ttin g in c lin e d to w ard s this astronomical based science and none have any doubt over the fact that there exists an intricate relationship between celestial disturbances and terrestrial happenings. The credit of discovering some of the fundam ental cosmic laws regulating the universe and inhabitants of the earth goes to the ancient sages. Our sag^stfreld more truthful, precise, reliable and discernible tools to comprehend and observe these celestial phenomena. All this perhaps has been possible due to vibrant consciousness activated through yogic method and Divya D rishti (Divine power). A consistent

Scientists and Astronomers can say with accuracy what iiiI is happening in the universe but what they are incapable ul doing is relating these activities with the behaviour of human beings. Further, all the scientific researches are 11 н ussed on the material phenomena while the ancient sages were eye;n awar(^o|tl\e^for<;g§ beyond these discoveries. The treatises propounded by our great seers have a clear m e s s a g e , lh.it what is happening in the universe is being replicated in the human lives. This what astrology is all about. The le,irned astrologers have created time co-ordinated system which transcended ordinary human frontier and established ,i lime link between the happenings on the earth and in the rest of universe. This conception later on became an ideal Inr the astrologers who needed some mechanism to refer r.irihly events with planetary movements. The planets initially assumed entities fj±to be worshiped .md their gross bodies were merely confined to remedial .islrology which later on expanded its scope to deal with the hie process and exposed to material activities. At its final ••i.ige, the astrology connected biological and psychological order into the inner nature of man to link the behavioural сinpects with planetary influences. Vedic philosophy dwelled < in the concept of space, time and matter. A secret that mind exerts d ire c t in flu e n c e on the o u ter w o rld , now ,u knowledged by the psychologists, was well known to the liMi neds of this science long before. Time evolution is allied1 loIlie astrological perception. The planets are the testification ol matter and these planets are under constant motion in l he universe (space).

( onin ic l.iws : Im m llu* foregoing description, it is quite evident that the pi.mots and other comic energies do influence all the mil Iters on the earth including its natives, the mundane foil lures and other econom ic affairs.. It does control the hustling movements of trading overtures and'cause market fluctuations stir, fuss and arao that make the tradesman reel iifoCjry under its pressure. All this topsy-turvy happenings are the game plan of the heavenly forces in which human bodies are the players remotely controlled therefrom to which we call cosm ic laws. The market fluctuations as has been amplified in the (ACCryUU’ ■ r introductory part, are caused by the starcity or excessiveness of a particular item. This gives way tp.speculation. The 1 . . . >■ ? ■ . . ' |V‘Л . ■ ■. speculatory activities are actuated by the vagaries,of nature, stab ility of the governm ent and its econom ic policies, agricultural development programs,political climates, social activities etc. These realms of nature transcend from the cosmic energy and disturbances are caused in the universe. It is a settled phenom ena that N ATURE does play an im portant role or for that matter is a key factor in stablising and destabilising the market prices and other ups and downs in the whole gamut. In a common parlance, nature relates to the whole frame of the universe which explains how time, matters and other mundane factors are closely inter-linked with the causation of the spectrum of the forces of the universe such as magnetic currents, radiations and gravitions which emanate from the heavenly bodies. Since the cosmic rays at one point of time penetrate at variant angles and intensities on different areas (countries) over the earth, the diverse results are observed in various places of the world at the same period. As a result of these diversified influences over the global spread, we

Some places of the world I,и г destructions due to natural calamities and yet another pin is nf the globe enjoy boom and prosperity. A commoner 11*44 eives this as a divine intervention which ascribes such inil>.dances, or super natural forces w hich bring about dev.isLUion and property simultaneously at the face of the Ptilth.
Under a natural phenom enon, nothing is statit^and^ pvei \tiling is subject to change. These factors, in the tore of ini i miomy and astrology, are attribu ted to the cosm ic d istu rb an ces caused by the a ltera tio n s and ch a n g in g |i|.melary configurations from time to time. It clearly focusses on the fact that celestial bodies do dom inate the global .к liviliesand in this process, amongst other things„it governs I lie m echanism of the w orld m arkets both in term s of V o lu m e s and prices. As explained previously, the rides relating to the pricing I>.»Iterns largely depend upon the availability. What makes sliitriages or surpluses? Why all these fluctuations occur? I he answer is quite simple. As already clarified that the movements of the heavenly bodies in the clestial sphere i usite d isab ility in every terrestrial activ ity and these i ommercial events are not beyond their influences. To illustrate this phenomenon, we may say that the luminaries regulate the atmosphere, thereby they control the environm ent w hich besides other things, command the human mind. Full moon days generate high tides in the ocean due to intense attractions between the Sun and the Moon having been positioned at an opposite longitudinal distance on lliis day. During the eclipses, human mind generally becomes lazy due to dull environm ents set forth by the |)owerlessness of the luminaries and also by the cosmic forces

originated bv the atm ospheric m agnetic cu rren ts and invigorated gravitational attractions. )/ There could never be an Earthquake or other physical disturbances of any kind but for the interaction and mutual attraction of planetary forces. Sim ilarly, the interplay of the heavenly bodies also influences crops, productions, rise and fall of market prices and other economic activities. In fine, we may say that heavenly bodies do act directly upon the EA RTH . This is a m atter beyond d isp u te, otherwise, the ocean would be tideless without volatising power of attraction exerted by the luminaries. The Sun with its solar system forms one harmoneous and balanced whole and every member of this system interact each other to generate viberations and m agnetic fields to regulate the activities on the earth. The apperant determinants of these factors, to a common man, could be just a principle of supply and demand, but the origin of this concept lies in the celestial objects which electrify the earth with their radiations and viberations according to their dispositions in the universe. W hen prices of com m odities are appreciated or get depressed, it is attributed to bad or good crops and such sta tu s of crop is ag ain a ccred ited to fav o u rab le and unfavourable atmospheric conditions. How and why such г (ум>\тм^‘ J situations have arisen is the moot point which is beyond the comprehension of an ordinary person as in order to arrive at plausible findings, the heavenly angles are to be explored. The status of a particu lar com m odity or item could be analysed by taking into consideration, the positions of planets through such items get vitalised. / Further, if the ruling sign of a place or country is under an adverse aspect ''i by some major planets, disturbed conditions prevail and the \stocking levels of the concerned material also get greatly

n&f&TpV Similarly, the astral vibrations also incite the market prii rs and if these forces which rule the prices are once assimilated, the laws guiding the price mechanism are well understood. To interpret the cosmic laws is where astrology manifests incredible knowledge and logical explanations. If the general rules set forth in the astrology are duly accounted for and the impact and influences of the planetary forces are superimposed over the market inputs, pricing behaviour and the world's economic scenario, many puzzling and m ystifying situations get resolved. But even these perplexed happenings have some rhythm or pattern which an astute person is only able tc identify. By understanding, cosm ic laws in relation with the conduct and demeanour of^ markets' sensitivity, one can certainly make capital out of nothing and that too of every transaction. Speculation is not considered, by many, a righteous deed and keep off it due to the fear of getting hooked, But it is not realised that in any venture or pursuit, their is some lurking doubt whether it ends up favourably or not. Like this, any activity is fathomed with an element of risk which does not mean that there should be no movements. Non performance takes to a state of inertness and develops inertia. H azarding a move is the challenging aspect and provide thrilling experience in which a crafty person speculates and shapes the moves cleverly to minimise the imperiiment. One should appreciate the fact that trade and commerce activities w ithout any exception, are of the nature of speculating investments. For that matter, even education falls in the same category as wre have seen that highly qualified person is not doing well to earn his livelihood. On the contrary, many lowly educated persons are making fortune. It is also noticed that a person after becoming engineer by investing hard earned money of the parents and best period of his life, ultimately ends up doing petty jobs or business, very much

CHAPTER-3 C om binations For Riches Various classical w orks in Vedic A strology narrate im in lli'ss com binations of p rosperity or w ealth w hich iiH гмlogically are called "Dhana Yogas". Finance provides status, popularity and ensures self-respect. It stands as an Insurance for a lean period or in a dire strait. Whether an Individual has or will have plenty of or moderate wealth or ниbdik’d financial livings, all these much sought for factors tin* easily discernible from the native's birth chart. Therefore, ahi 11>lMgy is an essential tool which sets a time frame of good and bad periods. It is quite possible that even with all kinds ol accurate assessments about the trend of a particular trade 111 market behaviour, yet it becomes difficult to reap the brnrfit or even good moves are turned into unexpected losses. All these unpredictable and unexplainable results luvr answers in astrology. Astrology states with a degree of i !•r'lainty that the native is running through a bad patch and Mislead of making profits he is going to lose. Astrology also Iirovides remedy to a bad situation and one such curative filep lies in a proper selection of time through M uhurtha (I lectional Astrology). This is one of the important branches ol ihe divine science w hich acts over and above all the i aK illations that go in making a good or bad move in the trading activities. It is a kind of reassurance and also acts as ,i governance to check against taking plunge at wrong times.

While combinations of riches or opulence are taken up over lim*, a separate chapter on elections of appropriate time or occasion (iiiuliurtlui) is devoted. Any person who has a little exposure to astrology knows about dhana yoga. He would assess it through 2nd house (income and wealth), the 5th house (intuition and speculation), 9th house (luck) and the 11th house (gains) of a chart. The relationship between these four houses indicates financial status of an individual. Ascendant which denotes "self" always plays an important role. In addition, in Vedic astrology, the Moon sign is like an Ascendant and is a dominant factor. Therefore, a strong Ascendant and also powerful and well placed Moon, lend great support to money generating "Dhana Yogas". Jupiter, the signifactor (karaka) for status and wealth besides other traits, determines the financial status of a person. Divine Trimurti, namely Brahma, Vishnu and M ahesha are said to be respon sible for creation, p ro tection and destruction respectively. The chief wrork of Lord Vishnu is to rear up and give protection to the creation done by Lord Brahma. Just as there are four Ashramas, in the same way, there are four Avasthas. The 12 houses/signs are comprised of trinity of four categories.The f ir s t : Dharma Trikona made up of 1st, 5th and 9th houses and Fiery signs Aries, Leo and S a g itta riu s d enotin g A gni Tattw a. The second triad is comprised of 2nd, 6th and 10th houses of Earthly Triplicity which stands for Artha Trikona and includes Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn (Prithvi Tattwa). The third group consists of 3rd, 7th and 11th houses, known as Kama Trikona houses, the triplicity of airy signs Gemini, Libra and Aquarius ( Vayu Tattwa). The last triplicity represents 4th, 8th and 12th houses which are Moksha houses corresponding to watery signs such as Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces (Jala Tattwa). Sim ilarly, the angular houses 1st, 4th, 7th and 10th are known as Lakshmi Sthana while the trine houses 1st, 5th and

С'irT / Cl i &P Besides, a harmonious relationship between the lords of the 6th and the 11th houses or when the 5th lord Venus is in the 11th house with the 6th lord, it yields plenty of wealth through lottery, racing, gam bling and other speculative activities. Similarly, if a strong malefic is in the 10th house (counted from the Ascendant or the Moon) and aspected by or conjoined with a benefic plant, the native with such configu ration in his horoscope possesses m uch wealth earned through gambling and lottery. Instead of a strong malefic, if benefic planet is placed, w ealth comes through speculation and stock buying, After delineating the factors indicating general financial status, it is appropriate to focus on sudden and unexpected gains in one's life through various combinations expounded by the seers in the field of astrology. The 2nd house is reckoned as house of wealth (dliann sthana) and the 5th house apart from being house of progeny (putra sthana) concerns with speculatory gains. As we are aware that to be blessed with these type of gains, luck has to play a a major role. The 9th house denotes luck (bliagi/a sthana) and the 9th from the 9th house is the 5th house. Again, the 5th house is the 2nd house from the 4th house which also represents general public. Gains through lotteries which involve public money and where benefit of one person is against the contributions or loss of the public. Therefore, the 5th house stands for specu lations, lotteries etc. Jupiter signifactor (karaka) of wealth if placed in the 5th house The 8th house is for a sudden and secret wealth and

If the lord of the 6th and the 11th houses are conjoined and placed in the 11th house, the native possesses good luck in gambling and lottery.
viii) If the lord of the 6th house com bining with unafflicted Mercury and the Moon get located in the 11th house, the native accumulates w ealth through stocks shares. ix)
The mutual reception or aspect or conjunction between the lords of the 9th and the 10th houses or the A scendant and the 10th houses or the Ascendant and the 9th houses or the 2nd and the 9th houses or the 2nd and the 11th houses or the Ascendant and the 11 th houses tends to increase the earning capacity and gives riches.

Conjunction of the lords of tlie 6 th and the 11th houses falling in the 11th house provides winning co n fig u ratio n for giving sp len d id resu lts in gambling and lottery but when this combination is formed in the 12th house, there are greater chances of losing in speculation.
i i)
If Mercury duly endowed with the lordship of the 5th house tenants the 6th house, it causes loss in speculation.

Similarly, if Venus being the lord of the 5th house, gets posited in the 12th house, the loss incurs through gambling.
iv)
If the 12th house harbours many malefic planets, the investm ents in specu latory activ ities i.e., gambling, lottery etc., invariably turn into losses.

Ihe 1 1th lord is in the 12th house produce loss of wealth. vi)
If the lords of the 2nd, 11th and 12th houses are in conjunction and duly aspected by the malefic planets, particularly from the position in the Trik houses, it generates losses and indebtedness.
vii) Exchange of signs (pcirivartmia) between the lords of the 2nd and 12th houses or placement of 2nd lord in the 12th house and 12th lord in the Ascendant also posts losses in the venture. viii) When the lord of the 11th house is posted in the 12th, that of the 12th in the 2nd and that of 2nd in any of the Trik houses (6th, 8th or 12th) or in debilitation, the native will suffer loss, mainjy through the wrath of statutory authorities. ix)
A certain loss is going to be caused at the behest of the government authorities, if the lord of the 2nd house is in the 6th house duly conjoined with a malefic planet or in debilitation or in association with the Sun.
x)
If there is exchange (mutual reception) between the lords of the 2nd and 12th houses and that between the Ascendant and the 6th houses, the native suffers pecuniary loss caused by some penal action against him.
M ajority of the preceding com binations (yogas) both yielding wealth or causing pecuniary losses have been drawn from classical treatise of M ahadeva's jATAKA TATWA. Mahadeva was a great savant of astrology who lived in the middle of the 19th century and collated a good number of SUTRAS which were short and easy to be memorised. The chapter titled "Dhana Viveka" enlists 135 com binations
Com bination lor riches
H'I.ilinj; to natives status of wealth and poverty. The yogas i .uising losses have been depicted in this chapter to gaurd I hr native not to get into a venture or take risk in a money m.iltors when his horoscope does not prom ise gains or .in ivtion of wealth. Although, at first instance, the native may not believe but a few wrong moves yielding losses likely to bring sufficient enlightenments. Besides, There are many more combinations (yogas) that would cause losses or clamp poverty to the native. It is not i onsidered much useful to list out all of them as it would unnecessarily create burden and confusion for the readers. In line, it would suffice to know the cardinal principle that involvem ent of the trik houses (dushta sthanas) and the influence of the lords of these houses mitigates or at times (depending upon the strength and the status of these lords) spoils the entire benefic effects of the Dhana Yogas. In other words, it turns them into the com bination of losses and poverty. The Western astrologers have put a greater degree of reliance over the T rans-Saturnian planets. They do not recognise the shadow y planets such as Rahu and Ketu (Ascendant and Descendant nodes). The Trans-Saturnian planets are Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. These are amongst the recent astronomical discoveries which have taken place in the years 1781, 1846 and 1930 respectively. We see that Pluto is the find of only 20th century. Therefore, these are not figured in the Vedic astrology and recognised by the Indian astrologers. How'ever, when some purposeful and serious interaction started taking place during preceding half century or so, the W estern astrologers have evinced interest in the shadowy planets as with their use they are getting encouraging results. At the same time, the Indian astrologers have also started giving credence to the Trans-Saturnian planets, particularly so in the "Mundane Astrology". Since

commercial activities are the part of mundane astrology, the el 1<ч Is, especially of Uranus and Neptune are widely applied. 11 is therefore, expedient to place before the readers, some of the money yielding combinations involving these planets. These are as follows : i)
When the lords of the 5th and the 8th houses are in benefic aspect with Uranus.
ii)
W hen the lo rd of the A scen d a n t and the Lum inaries, (the Sun and the Moon) are in a benefic aspect with Uranus .
iii)
When Uranus is placed in the 11th house from the Ascendant and Ascendant lord is posited in the 11th house from, the Moon.
iv)
Uranus or Neptune in the 2nd or the 5th or the 8th house and in a good aspect from the Sun, the Moon, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn gives unexpected gains, windfalls, inheritance etc. It is remembered that the aspect of the weightier planets Jupiter, Saturn serve stronger indications. The sources from which such gains are obtained can be known by studying the nature of planets, their house lordships and their ruling positions.
v)

Therefore, considering
'12

Fortuna as chief controller of the pecuniary well-being of the native stands to reason. The co n cep t of Fortuna is very sim ila r to th at of ARUDHAS advocated by the Vedic astrologers, especially in Ja im in i fie ld of a stro lo g y . The w e a lth re n d e rin g com bination of Jaim ini with the application of "Arudha Ascendants" is dealt with later in this chapter to provide yet another tool to the reader to check potential of the wealth in a horoscope. Still on Fortuna, the author suggests that it is worthwhile to examine the efficacy of this imaginary point in the horoscopes and take advantage of this extra tool for delineation. It is generally observed that the conjunctions of planets with Fortuna have much significance than the aspects which give effects of secondary nature. Fortuna being conjunction with or in good aspect to the' m alefic planets promotes good luck and riches ju st like ascendancy to affluency is caused by the benefic planets through their associations. But the malefic planets involved are to be well fortified or have lordship of good houses. The follow ing are some of the w ealth giving com binations involving Fortuna : i)
The lord of the sign harbouring Fortuna is strong by sign and having aspects with the Luminaries, Jupiter and Venus makes the native rich.
ii)
If Fortuna is in conjunction or in trine or sextile aspect with Uranus, the native earns through some uncommon pursuits or by high positions. But bad aspect gives negative results in such pursuits.
iii)
Conjunction, trine or sextile aspect of Neptune with Fortuna produces gains through a whole-sale trade, the bad aspects to Fortuna denote the way in which fortune is lost.

If Fortuna is in Succedent (panaphara) houses (i.e. 2nd, 5th, 8th and 11th) and under adverse effects, the fortune that is acquired by the native would not continue to remain in his possession.

.islm in g y , Ihe M oon is re ck o n e d as A scen d a n t and astounding results are predicted therefrom. These principles do not have any universal applications. The combinations {yogas) covered in these classical scriptures are typical ones and the dispositions of the planets are also peculiar but yet they yield specific results. The effects are of explicit nature which are related to that particular yoga alone. Although there are thousands of such Yogas available in numerous treaties rendered by our ancient sages and savants, we shall aim only all those Yogas w hich are related to wealth and prosperity. In this segment also, the number is great but we pick up a few to install an idea how' these time tested Yogas of the ancient times still are relevant in the present period'and are also immensely useful even today. One such set of yogas are called RAJA YOGAS. Raja Yogas : The Angular houses, (the 1st, the 4th, the 7th and the 10th) or kendra sthanas are considered an abode of Lord Vishnu while Trines houses (the 1st, the 5th and the 9th) or Trikona Sthanas are the residence of His consort Goddess Lakshmi. It is said that the 1st house i.e. the Ascendant is resided by both Lord Vishnu and Goddess Lakshmi. Hence the Ascendant is required to be fortified by its own lord and influenced by the benefic planets and free from any evil effect. Lord Vishnu the preserver provides sustenance to the earthlings while Goddess Lakshm i bestow s prosperity. W hen lords of A n gu lar and T rin e h o u ses e s ta b lis h connection or get interlinked in any of the manners described herein above, a most powerful combination (Yoga) is formed wdiich in astrological parlance is called RAJA YOGAS. In this permutation and combination, eleven different

lv pi's of yogas are generated between the lords of Angular .iik I I l ine houses which are capable of actuating productive results in terms of w ealth and prosperity. I lie Moon : an arbiter of wealth : In the astrological texts, the Yogas which are formed keeping the Moon (Chandra) as the main determinant, confer greatness to the native. Many of w ealth giving classical ( (imbinations (dhana yogas) are centered around the Moon. At cording to great sage Parashra, the intrinsic quality of the Moon Yogas is that they are certain in producing the results, in comparison to the other Yogas available in the horoscope. Ailhi Yoga, Gaj-Kesari Yogas and many other Yogas involving Ilie Moon in this context, are taken up hereafter. I.
Adhi Yoga :
Adhi Yoga arises when benefic Jupiter, Venus, Mercury (well associated ) occupy the 6th, the 7th and the 8th houses Irum the Moon. This Yoga confers enjoyable and happy life, .1 mid luxuries and opulence, upon the native who remains healthy and have good longevity. It is difficult to have a situation in a chart where all the lliree benefics are available in the three houses named above. It is neatly impossible that such combination free from any malefic influence occurs. Similarly, it is also rare to see all Ihose places are occupied. It is also not correct to accept Yoga, I I any of these three houses has one of the benefics. However, ardent astrologers have interpreted it by taking a stand that it is not essential that these three benefics should occupy one house each. They may jointly or severally get posited in .ill or any of the 6th, the 7th and the 8th houses from the Moon. While it is necessary to have this Yoga in a pure form to )’,ct fu ll im pact, such situ atio n s, as stated ea rlier, arc

extremely difficult, some good results are still observed, if Iwo out of three benefic occupy the concerned houses. B u t1 such benefic planets should be dignified and free from any j blemishes. However, like any other yoga, Adi Yoga also gets affected by extenuating factors such as malefic nature of lordship or asp ect held by them , if reckoned from the Ascendant. Besides, the function of this yoga, is also influenced by the nature of the houses involved or houses reckoned from the Ascendant.
This yoga is form ed w ith the M oon b e in g in the anchorage duly combined with the other benefic planets.

L a k sh m i Yoga (discussed in the latter part) is also available. The 9th lord Saturn is exalted and placed in the Trine house. The Ascendant lord duly exalted is positioned in an Angular house aspected by the Moon placed in a friendly sign and also being the Lord of the 2nd House. Presence of Venus with the 9th lord elevates this yoga to a great extent. Further, the exalted lord of the A scendant is in the association with the 11th lord having a mutual aspect with the lord of the 2nd house. The 2nd house (wealth) aspected by the exalted 9th lord Saturn. Let us now examine G ate's acumen and sagacity in computer service for which he developed a communicating language. Com puter is basically a "store house" which accumulates wealth of data. This aspect, could be looked up from the 2nd house. Then comes processing of data and communication of information as desired by the operator. These factors are discernable from the 3rd house. All matters of enterprise and activities prompted by the desire and intution are denoted by the 5th house which also signifies wisdom, intelligence and is concerned with speculative affairs. The 9th house is connected with logic and reason and is also imbibed with the traits of Jupiter being the lord of the natural order of the sign and house. But the planets which have maximum contribution in computer science is Mercury (intelligence arid memory) Jupiter (intuition) and Venus (sophistication) If the above significations are super imposed on the horoscope of Bill Gates, we find that these are matching well. The 2nd house and its lord are strong. The 3rd house has

A person born under this yoga holds copious Wealth, enjoys good status and reputation, possesses an overpowering personality is generous and virtuous. In fact, IIns Yoga is quite common as it just involves two planets the Moon and Jupiter. If we go by what all illustrious qualities this yoga tends to confer, there would be numerous virtuous Iieople all around. But that is not the case. On the other hand, there is dearth of such good persons. Therefore, this yoga should not be interpreted in a literally sense and the results as depicted in the classical works by our great sages are applied with great care. The other astrological facts such as strength of these planets, their disposition in the chart, malefic influences over these planets, potency of the houses or signs through which this yoga is being formed etc., have over-bearing effects in fructification of the yoga. A few illustrations justify these apprehensions about this Yoga which is so widely talked about.

In this illustration, although both Jupiter and the Moon HD' representing auspicious houses, the placem ent in the house of Saturn an inim ical planets is not good. Saturn is a nci relive planet.

The above two ex a m p les d istin ctly d em o n stra te mMin ing of wealth by employing different method in this Yoga of richness. It is also a well known fact that accretion nl money through benefic combinations bestows happiness lithI ushers in auspiciousness to the native through out the Iili'. On the contrary, money earned through the help of m.ilefic planets brings many unpleasant happenings and the n.it ive gets deprived of the comforts at some stage of his life. ( ienerally, such wealth is squandered away on pleasures and valueless purposes. V nsum ati Y o g a : When the benefic planets Jupiter, Venus and Mercury (un.iffliated) occupy Upachay houses (Sthanas) i.e., the 3rd, Ihe fith, the 10th or the 11th house from the Moon, this Yoga Ifi formed denoting affluence and prosperity.

person will not be a dependent. L ik e Adi Yoga, the same three benefit planets are involved. It is iiot possible to have a perlet I yoga of this type with the result, the level of the benefits is down depending upon the placement and strength of the said planets and the lord of the Upachaya houses in the horoscope . The characteristics of the Upachaya houses are of the nature of struggle (the 3rd house), com petition (the 6th house), professionalism (the 10th house) and aspirations (the 11th house) and as such the native amasses wealth through his own efforts and ability. As said earlier, such persons do not depend upon any one. Otherw ise also, the Upachaya houses are considered as houses of expansion, growth. This presence of this yoga in a horoscope endows sustainable financial prosperity and helps accretion of wealth. While positioning of benefic planets will give a smooth run to a success, the presence of malefic planets certainly impose impediments and give the native a real run for the money. The horoscope of Mr.K.K. Birla, a prolific industrialist is the best illustration to demonstrate the efficacy of Vasurnati Yoga. Illu s tr a tio n Ketu

This meets practically all the basic requirements of this yoga though these three benefic plan ets su ffer w ith some kind of affliction. Jupiter being the lord of the 3rd and the 6th house is under the aspect of Mars. Mars is the lord of the 2nd house and posted in a friendly sign which in a way improves the yoga. Venus has affliction both from Saturn and the Sun. Here again, Saturn is a yoga karaka planet and the Sun is the lord of the 11th house with conellation of debilitation lending ample support to dhana yoga. Jupiter aspects on the lords of the 11th house(The Sun), the 2nd house (Mars). Both these planets put together have the ownership over the 11th, the 2nd and the 7th houses which are connected with the business are being influenced by Jupiter. This has made Mr.K.K.

For example, for an Aries Ascendant, Jupiter being the lord of the 9th house if get posited in sign Cancer which is the sign of exaltation for Jupiter anci Angular house, it gives rise to this Yoga.

Exalted Jupiter occupies the 10th house (Upachaya stahana) from the Moon and the 6th house (Upachaya sthann) from the Ascendant. This combination is also capable of giving immense wealth. The placement of exalted Jupiter in an Angular house (10th) from the Moon gives rise to Gajkesri Yoga, which involves the 6th and the 9lh houses and the lords of the 6th, the 2nd and the 11th houses. The native earned copious wealth through intense struggles and at the face of stiff competition due to predominant role played by the 6th house for su ch a ch iev em en ts.

Other C lassical Yogas : Perusal of astrological seriptures and other literature available on the subject, distinctly state that to become rich one should have such com binations in one's horoscope which establishes a point of contact between the lords of the Ascendant, the 2nd, the 11th, the 5th and the 9th houses. Various permutations and combinations of these lords give rise to a great number of dhana yogas. Besides, dhana karaka Jupiter plays a dominant role in translating the dhana yoga in a more pronounced manner. Apart from leading dhana yogas accessible in the classical w orks as have been described w ith illu strations herein before, there are many more such yogas available in the
Com bination for riches
59
astrological texts which are not possible to describe them all over here. However, a few of these Yogas which are widelyreferred to, are briefly described over here. A y atn a D hana L a b h a Y oga : This yoga is formed once the lord of the Ascendant and the 2nd house exchange their houses or conjoined together in a favourable house. A native having this yoga in his horoscope earns enough wealth without much of efforts. B aku D rav y arjan a Y oga : If the lord of the Ascendant is posited in the 2nd house, lord of the 2nd house is located in the 11th house and the Ascendant tenants the lords of the 11th house, it gives rise to this yoga. The native enjoys stupendous earnings and amasses sizable wealth. As stated earlier, in this yoga a point of contact is established between the Ascendant, the 2nd house and the 11th house, through their lords. A mere formation of yoga is not enough because the degree of effectiveness of any yoga depends upon the strength of the lords involved in forming such Yogas and as their disposition in the horoscope. A m aran an ta Yoga : This Yoga is formed when number of planets occupy the 2nd house and if the planets capable of delivering wealth, such as the lord of the 2nd house, кагака Jupiter and others are dignified by occupying their own sign or in the sign of exaltation. The native armed with this yoga spends all his life in a great affluency and richness. T he p e cu lia rity of th is yog a is th at it has d ire ct participation of the 2nd house perse and therefore, the benefit drawn from this yoga is of permanent nature which a native enjoys throughout his life. The effect of Yoga formed by the
60
Vedic astrology in money m atters
sig n ificato rs gets pronounced during the dashas of the consitueants. Vislniti Yoga : This Yoga is caused when lord of the 9th house and the lord of the 10th are together w ith the lord of Nnvamsa harbouring the 9th lord is in the 2nd house. The native gets copious wealth, leads Luxurious life and sources his wealth from many countries. In this yoga, the Navnmsa in which the lord of the 9th house is posited plays the key role and if this planet is well placed, the native draws auspicious effects through out his life. N id h ip rap ti Yoga : A mutual exchange (parvartana) between the lords of the 2nd house and the 11th house gives rise to this yoga. The native earns money through his own efforts. Wealth a cq u ired by p e rso n a l e x e rtio n is sp e n t ra th e r m ore judiciously. S reem an ta Yoga : The placement of the Moon, Jupiter and Venus in the 2nd house from the Ascendant gives rise to Sreemanta Yoga. But the Moon should not be waning. Formation of this Yoga in the horoscope bestows fabulous wealth. However, any two out of these three planets create V esesha Yoga which is also capable of giving good wealth. Therefore, the quantum of Sreem anta yoga varies according to the number and strength of planets mentioned above. The Sreemanta yoga has also been dealt with in Jaimini Astrology. Sreemanta literally means a 'wealthy man". JA IM IN I YOGAS : Ja im in i sy stem of A stro lo g y is u n iq u e one. The aphorisms of Jaimini are known as Upadesha Sutras which
Com bination for riches
61
are 936 in number. This system is different from the one expounded by sage Prasara. However, some of the principles imbibed in the famous text — Brihnt Parasara Horn Sashtra were later on detailed by Rishi Jaimini. Rishi Jaimini's axioms are concise yet very potent and m eaningful and speak volumes for themselves. Most of the principles are common lo both the scriptures but the m ethodology applied is at variance. Since cogent principles of Jaim ini are capable of delivering the same effects as that of Prashara's aphorisms for the Dhana Yogns, cited some of the 'Sutras' pertaining to wealth producing combinations are also taken up over here. In Ja im in i A stro lo g y d iffe r e n t types of Lagnas (Ascendants) have been used to work out effects of various com binations. They are Bhnvn Lagna, Chandra Lagnn, Pada Lagna, Horn Lagna, Ghntika Lagna, Vnrnada Lagna etc. Dhana Yogas or the principles which yield richness or happiness are with reference to Anidha Lagna or Pada Lagna. (3rd Quarter of Chapter I,of jaim ini Sutras gives these principles). Arudha lagna which is also called Pada lagna, is that sign which is located as far from the lagna Lord as such lagna Lord is away from the Janm a lagna (the Ascendant). In other words, count the number of signs from the lagna upto the lagna lord and then count that many number of signs from the lagna lord and fix Arudha lagna at that sign. For example, if Pisces sign is rising in a particular chart and Jupiter is located in the cancer sign i.e. 5th sign from Pisces, the Arudha lagna in that case will be in a Scorpio sign which is the 9th house from the Janma lagna (The Ascendant). In the chapter of Jaim ini Sutras referred above, R ishi Jaim ini sets these aphorism s by taking Arudha lagna аз a centre piece and describes the combinations for royalty and poverty through the placem ent of planets in the various houses from Arudha lagna.

While noting down the results, it must be remembered that the word катка has always been used for atmakaraka. The planet that occupies the most advanced degrees in any sign is called atmakaraka. The sign which atmakaraka planet occupies in the Navamsha charts is called karakamsa lagna. In Jaim ini Astrology, the 2nd house and the 11th house from the Arndha lagna signify wealth. If two or three benefic planets get posited in the 2nd or the 11th house from the Ariulha lagna, it makes the native fabulously rich and bestow all comforts and happiness. The combinations conferring 'dhana' or wealth as dealt in the said chapter have been listed out hereunder. Wherever the word 'Aspect' is mentioned, it relates to jaim ini aspects and not th'e Parasara's aspects. i)
When the 11th house from the Arudha Lagna is occupied or aspected by any planet, the'person becomes a "Sreemanta" or a wealthy man.
ii)
If the planet involved in the 11th house as referred in the above Sutras is benefic one, the wealth is earned through righteous means and the gains are fair and sourced law fu lly . In the event of the in v o lv em en t of m alefic p lan ets, the w ealth is acquired through sinful and unlawful activities.
iii) When the 11th house from the Arudha lagna is well associated and aspected by benefics planets or by the planets in exaltation, in moolatrikona sign etc., the native earns abundant w ealth and that too through justifiable means. In the event of malefic p la n e ts in o p e ra tio n , the w ealth is am assed unscrupulously, illegally and through undesirable sources. H ow ever, in association with the 12th hou se, if this yoga is form ed, the expend itu re surpasses the earnings.
C om bination for riches
63
iv) If the Moon, Jupiter, Venus are posited in the 2nd house from the Arudha lagna, the native becomes prosperous and wealthy, It may be noted that if some of these planets or only one of these planets get located in the 2nd house, the combination still yields the result but relatively of lower quality. However, if a planet occupying the 2nd house is in a state of exaltation, the person becomes very rich irrespective of that planet being benefic or malefic. Similar results are interpreted from the position of Karakamasa in the chart. v)
If the Arudha lagna falls in the 7th house from the A scendant (janm a lagna), Karakakam sa or in the A ngular or T rin e h o u ses, the native becom es exceedingly rich and prosperous. It is bad, if it falls in the 6th, the 8th or the 12th house.
vi) A benefic planet each in the 1st house and the 7th house from the Arudh lagna enables the native, to acquire immense wealth. vii) Placement of two or three benefic planets in the Arudha Lagna makes a person very lucky at certain periods during his life span. Just as there are different shades of intellect, there are many levels of richness or fortune. There is no set standard to determine who should be called rich and who should not. Basically, it differs from time to time. However, w ithin the same time the gradation due to diverse situations and places. Again assorted means and tools are employed in acquiring wealth, w hich gives incongruous connotations to it. The w ealth could be am assed through inventions business, speculations, acting in films. In the present days, persons pursuing sports as a career are also multi-millionaires. Even somebody becomes rich by wining lottaries and through
64
Vedic astrology in money matters
horse racing or gambling. Wealth is accumulated by way of fraud, cheating, ignoble deeds, or any other unscrupulous and illegal means. There is yet another category that becomes rich by plundering others wealth or by looting banks and so on and so forth. For reaching to richness, two houses namely the 2nd and the 11th play predom inant role in additions to the Ascendant and they are the key factors. By interpolation of these houses and disposition of their lords in the horoscope with the other houses and their rulers, the degree of richness could be ascertained. Besides, involvem ent of particular house or planet depicts how such wealth has been or could be sourced. All the wealth yielding Yogas or combinations which generate richness and opulence revolve around these cardinal factors. But, the substantial blessing of Jupiter, the most auspicious and karaka planet in the whole gamut, is important and without its approval, the native does not get potent results. Just as in the native horoscope, some components play commanding role in interpreting the national wealth and economy, stock Share markets, revenue, comm ercial affairs and other trade activities. The same yogas or combinations are applied on the charts of the nations, com panies or enterprises. Here again, Jupiter displays the most favourable role in bringing overall prosperity, good trades, and benefit to the community at large. This aspect has been dealt more elaborately in the relevant chapter. N o te : The horoscopes of the digniteries cited over here have been lifted from the various published material with a view to demonstrate the efficacy of the axioms which are adduced in support of the reffered material.

P R O P ITIO U S M O M EN TS (M uhurta-Electional Astrology) The preceding ch ap ter has d ealt w ith the op u lent combinations {yogas) generating wealth and riches. However, without doing any action (karmas) one can not even draw benefits of these au spiciou s yogas u ninterru ptedly and persistently. Again a "w ell begun action is half done" is an old saying. Similarly, commencing a work or undertaking a job in an auspicious time or at a propitious moment is like seeking an assurance for a success. A ll th in g s on the earth are p ro d u ce d in 't im e ', progressed in 'tim e' and get destroyed at a particular time. Therefore, the 'value' of 'Tim e' is immeasurable. M uhurta Jyotisha or Electional Astrology in a practical application is to seize of the best opportunities thrown up before you by the "wheel of time" or Samaya Chakara. Muhuratas in common parlance is a mandate to electing or selecting an auspicious time or favourable moments to commence an important work of far reaching consequences. Horoscopic chart is imbued with the effect of the past karmas of the native and the planetary disposition at the time of the birth as reflected in the chart is w hat one has brought with him. This what the fate is all about and one does nothing more than technically delineates the results depicted by the

heavenly objects. M uhurtas on the other hand, provide essential directions and w orthw hile clues. Adherence of these rules would help removing, neutralising, mitigating or arresting the evils and adverse effects denoted by the horoscope. Since the horoscopic figure is a fixed chart, it would reveal what has been inscribed in it. At best one can diagnose the effects without providing any remedy to it. While muhurta is prescriptive in nature that could prevent the unfavourable happenings to a great extent. Muhurta in a way suggests the right time to undertake a venture to achieving success and accomplishment of objectives.. Infact the muhurta fixes time for a particular event or activity when ethereal currents released from the celestial bodies are powerful enough as to minimise or alter the evil effects and provide a safe passage. A day consists of 60 ghatis as adopted right from the ancient period. There are 30 muhurtas in a day and each of which is comprised of 2 Ghatis. One gnhati equals 24 minutes and hence a murulha is of 48 minutes. Muhurta literally means a sm all duration of time m easure. It is a suggestive of auspicious or favourable epoch to start a particular work such as en terin g a new hou se, sta rtin g new v en tu re, education, opening a shop, entering into a deal or agreement, buying or selling things like stocks shares etc. In astrology the s ta rtin g m om ent is v ery im p o rta n t. C o n s is ta n t movements of the planets and other celestial objects, afford a continuous process of m odifications of time effect through cosm ic energies such as m agnetic current, rad iation or vibrations. The effect of one energy is altered by the another's cosmic force. To pick up a right moment for a particular event is what Election Astrology is all about. It acts as a modifying agency. The whole play of nature is r h y t h m a t i c and picking up right rhythm brings about success. Those who b eliev e th at th ere are au sp icio u s and

The auspicious time 11 >i ,1 specific work have been determined by our great Sages hiuI their followers. How these ancient savants had gone in In the m achination of muhurta is the intriguing thought to ponder about. As denoted before, nu m erous forces of universe cause impact over the earth and its natives and the м it'nlists are making constant endeavour to analyse the In flu en ces o f c e le s tia l cu rre n ts. In th is p u rsu it they discovered that every natural and artificial thing has light, heal and rays. Similarly, every planet, Asterism (nakshatra) eii is possessed with several striking elem ents which exert Influence over the living beings and matters. Body of the living beings also emits some kind of rays akin to its nature. 11uman being holds minute electic and magnetic properties which get affected or disturbed by the exterior magnetic Iо ices etc. The Sages and Maharishis through devoutful meditation, i oncentrations of their sensories and im m ense spiritual powers created an aura of light around them and thereby developed a "Divya Drishti" (telepathy) having potential of tran sm ittin g cu rren ts and through this m edium , they ascertained the m ovem ents and effects of the heavenly bodies. The Earth is under constant attraction of the 'cosmic energies' com prised of m agnetic and electrical currents, tadiation and vibrations etc. The heavenly energies exert Iremendous influence at differen t point of time and at different places. By observing ascendancy and sway of these i osmic currents over the earth for centuries together, some kind of relationship betw een various happendings and movements of planets, nakshatras etc. had been established hv ihe astronomers and astrologers. By their findings, they also fo rm u lated certain norm s and d raw n param eters

through which human activites are regulated in a systematic m anner. Electional astrology or muhurta is one of such systems which is based on these observations The Electional astrology basically has five parts or elements which are known as "Panchanga" or Vedic almanac. Panchangna means five "Lim bs" and all these five elements have an intimate bearing on fixing suitable or unsuitable time for a particular event, function or action. The interplay of these constitu ents regulates the m uhurta system . These accessories infact are of five types of stellar energies that we encounter every day in the form of good, bad or not very good fe elin g s or h ap p en in g s etc. The 'P a n c h a n g a ' is comprised of the followings : 0 ii) iiy ivj v)
Tithi (Lunar days) Vaara (Week days) Nakshatras (Lunar menions) Yogas (A Luni-solar day) Karana (Half Lunar day)
In addition the rising sign (the Ascendant) particularly is very im protant and plays a dom inant role in fixing auspicious time as it is a prime indicator of good omen. The related positions of planets connected with an event or a function in the electional chart have much to say for happy endings. 1.
T ith i (Lunar d a y ) :
Twelve degrees of longitudinal difference between the Sun and the Moon constitute a tithi. The phases of the Moon emits Lunar energy of different intensity and w'e on the earth get greatly influenced being in the proximity. There are 30 tithis in the Lunar month. From New Moon to full Moon which is called bright half or shukla paksha consists of 15 tithis. Sim ilarly, from Full Moon to New Moon which is referred

as Dark half or Krishna Paksha also has 15 tithis. Classification o f Tithis : Fifteen tithis both of the bright half and dark half of the lunar month have been classified into five segments which are normal (i) Nanda, (ii) Bhadra, (iii) fay a, (iv) Rikta and (v) Poorna. The degree of auspiciousness and inauspiciousness of these tithis depend upon the different phases of the Moon as could be seen from the table appended below : TABLE:1 Tithis

v)
Poorna : Except 30th of Krishna Paksha, other tithis are good for accomplishments.
All the Rikta thitlues are avoided for muhiirtha. The starting one ghatika (24 minutes) of Nanda tithies and ending one G h ak ita or P oorn a tith ies are the ju n ctio n p oints (Gandanas) and should be avoided in all good elections. 2. V aara (W eeksd ay ) Each week day is assigned to a particular planet whose general effects are felt on that day. The intrinsic qualities of the planets also become the attributesof the concerned day. The planetary rulership of the week days are in the order as follows : Sunday to Sun; Monday to Moon; Tuesday to Mars; Wednesday to Mercury; Thursday to Jupiter; Friday to Venus and Saturday to Saturn. The events, works or deeds etc. which are considered good for the day, are stated henceforth: (i)

which is divided into 12 equal parts and so is the duration of the night i.e., from sunset to sunrise. Each division is called hora and exact duration of which varies, depending upon the day light in a particular part of the year. Each week day is so arranged that its hora falls after 24th horns.

3. N akshatras: The zodiac apart from harbouring many celestial objects, also tenants 27 nakshatras or constellation. They are also called Lunar Mansions. The duration of a nakshatra is directly related to the time taken by the Moon to traverse 13 degrees

73
,md 20 minutes of ecliptic arc. These nakshatras are huge 1‘k'ctromagnetic bodies radiating energy into the space which influences the Moon when it comes in contact with such, radiation. Having been impelled, the Moon exercises greater impact. The Janma Nakshatra, "Dina Tara" is obtained by dividing rclipicof 360° by 27 to get an arc of 13 degrees and 20 minuts (S00 minutes) for each nakshatra. By dividing the longitude ul the Moon by 13"-20'/ the quotient number specifies the number of the nakshatra, those have been passed at the time of birth. The remainder is the part traversed in the operating mikshatra which is the Janma nakshatra. The nakshatra is not only an im portant link of Panchanga but also m the entire gamut of astrology. If any horoscop e is draw n for a particular time or mururta or for any event, the nakshatra in which the Moon is placed at that time is called nakshatra of Ihat moment or muhurta. As stated before, out of the five components of panchanga, nakshatras play dominant role in muhurta. Commencing from the first points of Nirayana Aries, the name of 27 nakshatras in seriatim are described here under : T able : 3 No.

In m u h u rata, A b h ijita n aksh atra assu m es g rea ter importance. This Nakshatra carved its place between Uttar Ashada and Shravana and has an arc of 4 degrees, 13 minutes and 20 seconds [3°-20 of Uttar Ashada and 4 Ghatis or 53'-20" of Shravana]. Being placed between nakshatra No.21 and 22, ■ ; Abhijita is assigned number 21 -A in order to maintain the original figure of 27. P ro p erties o f N a k s h a t r a s (A sterism s) : The nakshatras have been classified into seven ranks to suite different types of activities or events. There functions and properties are as follows : (i) Dynamic or Sw ift (Ksipra or Laghu Nakshatra) : -
The nakshatras - Ashuhni, Pushy a, Hasta and Abijita and Thursday are short and dynam ic nakshatras w hich are suitable for travelling, fine art, trading activities (i.e., selling and purchasing), opening of shop, construction, education, skilled labour, medical treatment. (ii) V iolent or Fierce (Ugra N a ksh a tra s) : Bharani, Magha, Purva Phalguni, Purva Ashada, Purva Bhadra and Tuesday are aggresive in nature and are suitable for surgical operations inventions, purhcase or sale of arms, su ccess over enem ies, im prison ing, deceit, p oisoning, matters involving fire, arson or other destructive activities. (iii) M ixed (M ish rit N a ksh a tra ) : K rittika, V ishakha and W ednesday are considered ordinary and mixed types of nakshatras. These are usueful for fiery kind of w orks, fire arm s, fu rn aces, ig n ito rs (e lectrica l), klins, bo ilers, w elding, m elting, sm elters, fabrications, preparing medicines. These Nakshatras yield mixed results

iv) Fixed (D hruva N a k sh a tra s) : Rohini, Uttara Phalguni, Uttara Ashada, Uttara Bhadra L i n d Sunday are considered good for the works of fixed nature like laying foundation, building of houses, sowing of seeds, coronations? commencement of meritorious deeds, entering a house, starting of service, expiatory rituals. v) G entle or Tender (Mridu o r M aitra N a k sh a tra s) : M rigashira, Chitra, Anuradha, Revati arid Friday are known to belong to the class of Mridu nakshatras. Auspicious ninhurtas (Electional time) travel, singing, music learning, making or w earing garm ents, m aking friends, w earing je w e lle ry , p e rfo rm a n ce of a u sp icio u s c e re m o n ie s, copulation. vi) M oveable (C h ara N a k sh a tra s) : Punarvasu, Swati, Shravana, Dhanishta, Shatbisha and Monday are the kinds of movable nakshatras. conveyance, starting m achines, starting factory, journeys, any thing needing motion should be undertaken under these nakshatras which are beneficial for emphemeral things. vii) Pungent (T eeksh n a N a k sh a tra s) : Aridra, Ashlesha, Jyeshta, Moola and Saturday are the nakshatras fall in this category- These are good in doing iantrika Sadhana, illegal deeds, cheating, aggression and dead ly a c tiv itie s , tra in in g of a n im a ls, black m agic, controlling of evil spirits, incantations, alliance with seat of power or alike, keeping others in capativity, separation of friends. Pushya nakshatra is supposed to be the most auspicious asterism am ongst all the constellations. All the negative effects or flaws of adverse combinations get neuterlised and assuaged under the influence of this nakshatras. With its
76
Vedic astrology in money matters
benefic nature, Pushy a nakshatra is capable of destroying evil effects of unfavourable com binations in the horoscop e. H ow ever, this n akshatra is not favou red for m arriage purposes. But the versatility and universal application of this nakshatra cannot be questioned, of course, leaving marraige apart. Mrigasira is highly praised for marriages. Apart from favourable planetary configuration, the other essentiality for fixing an auspicious time or electing a favourable nmhurata is the blessings of suitable nakshatra. The selection of right nakshatra for a particular matter or cerem on y is done on the b asis of ch a ra c te ristic s and significations of such nakshatra, the details of which have been given in the foregoing parts. Since the beneficiary of a good muhurta is a person, it is necessary that the factors involved in the Muhurta cjiart should hold some kind of compatibility with the horoscope of the native. The two such important components are (a) ‘Tarabala’ or the strength of nakshatra and (b) Chandrabala or the Lunar strength. (a) Tarabala (Strength of Nakshatra) : In Muhurta Jyotish, Lunar nakshatras have been arranged into nine groups. Each group is known as specific "Tara" endowed with strength to show a particular effect. The nakshatra in which the Moon is posited at the time of birth is called 'Janma nakshatra or 'b irth star'. The com patibility between the birth nakshatra and the ruling nakshatra of the election time is judged arithematically. Count from the birth nakshatra to the one elected nakshatra for the Muhurta and divide the number by 9 if divisible otherwise keep the count unaltered. The remainder or unaltered figure, as the case may be, remains between 1 and 9. Certain connotations have been used for these 9 numbers which suggest the effect at each stage. These are illustrated in a tabular form as shown :

Example : A person is born in Purva Phalguni nakshatra and he has elected a muhurata with the ruling nakshatra as Uttar Ashada to lay foundation of his house. Counting from the native's birth N akshatra to the ruling nakshatra of the proposed muhurata, it comes to number 11. Dividing it by 9, it leaves a remainder of 2, which according to the above table denotes "Sam-pat" which indicates wealth and prosperity . Therefore, l his tarabala is very suitable. For the said native a table, in a form of ready reckoner, is drawn for instant checking of tarabala for any m uhurata or at the tim e of undertaking important work or decision.

evil effects of these Taras in the 2nd cycle are fifty percent and these are confined to the 1st quarter of the 3rd, the 4th quarter of the 5th and the 3rd quarter of the 7th Tara. If the Nakshatra of the election muhurata falls in the 3rd cycle, the effect are quite negligible. The results described in A tharva Vcdiya Jyotinlia in respect of the 9 Taras is stated below : i)

While examining the Tara Bain (nakshatra's strength), it is necessary lo know that the favourable Tarns are free from any affliction or vedha. The auspicious cerem onies are forbid d en w hen the co n cern ed Tara is u n d er m alefic in flu e n ce s. S im ila rly , the u n fa v o u ra b le T aras under afflictions show less harmful results or even good effects to some extents. The Moon endowed with shnkls paksha (bright half) should be given more weightage than the Moon of krishna paksha (dark half). b) C handra B a la (Lunar Strength) : In vedic astrology, the M oon has assum ed greater im portance practically, in every field but in Electional A strology (m uhurta), the Moon and its p o sition in the M uhurta chart is much more evident. The efforts should be made to avoid placement of .the Moon in the 6th, the 8th and the 12th position from the Jnnma Rasi in the elcctional chart. If we further take on to the illustration cited in respect of tara bala, (Table :5) we find the Purva Phalguni being the ruling nakshatra at the time of the birth means that the Moon is in the sign Leo, while the nakshatra of muhurta is Uttar A shada. to show th a t th e M oon is in S a g itta r iu s , if nakshatra is in its 1st quarter. The Moon switches over to Capricorn sign when in the remaining three quarters of the Nakshatra (see Table :18). The Moon in Sagittarius sign falls in the 5th position, while in sign Capricorn, the muhurta's Moon goes over to the 6th place in the muhurta chart which is an inauspicious position. The suitable muhurta is on the day when the Moon is posited only in Leo sign so far as Chandra bala (Lunar strength) is concerned. It may be noticed that a muhurta nakshatra though being harmoniously placed with reference to the Janma (birth) nakshatra, it is required to be avoided as not being compatible with Chandra bala. B esid es, certain n akshatras, w h ich o th erw ise are w ell disposed, have to be discarded due to their inherent evil

qualities. Such as, Bharani nakshatra is rejected for all the auspicious works. This particular nakshatra is religiouslsy avoided even though it is well placcd with respect to the birth nakshatra. At times, it becomes exceedingly necessary to undertake some work or ceremony which can not be postponed due to certain u navoid able circu m stances. U nfortunately, the muhurata on that day is devoid of tara bala i.e., the day is possibly ruled by janma, Vipata, Pratyaka or Naidhana tarns. Under such an emergent situation , avoid 1st 7th, 3rd, 8th, 6th ghaties respectively and perform the function intended for. By doing this, the adverse and m alefic effects are mitigated. It should however, be remembered that this kind of recourse are resorted to, only when it is a must and can not be delaved. 4. Y o g a s : Yoga in muhurta is confined to its meaning i.e., addition. Mere the longitudinal degrees of the luminaries, the Sun, the Moon are added up and then divided by 13 degrees and 20 minutes. Each such segment is called Yoga which are 27 in numbers.

One gliati is equivalent to 24 m inutes. An average period for a yoga is taken as 60 ghaties or 24 hours. But at lim es, the p erio d g ets in c re a se d or red u ced . T he in au sp icio u s p o rtio n of the Yoga shou ld be altered proportionally depending upon the length of the yoga. Suppose Vajra yoga has span of 23 hrs. and 20 mins., then instead of striking out first 1 Hour and 12 Minutes, the priod ot expunction is worked out as follows: (23 Hrs and 20 Mins = 1400 Mins; 1 hr. and 12 Min. = 72 Min; 24 Hrs = 144 Mins.) The inauspicious portion is : 72 x 1400 = 70 = lhr.'lO Min. 1440 Therefore, the first 1 hr. and 10 Min. of this Yoga should be avoided. 5. K n ra n a (H a lf Lunar day) : Karana is an one-half of a tithi or Lunar day. In other words, the longitudinal distance between the Sun and the Moon should be the multiple of 6 instead of 12 as in the case of tithi. The quotient indicates the number of knrnnas which have passed and the remainder is the part distance of the existing кагана. There are eleven knranas and out of which lour karanas are fixed one while the remaining seven are movable karanas. The four fixed karanas are : i)

The seven movable karanas come by rotation, eight times in a Lunar month commencing with the second half of the first Lunar day (bright half) i.e., (pratipada of the shukla paksha). The four permanent or fixed karanas will occur in serial order, starting from the second half of the 29th Lunar day. That means that the first karana of the first Lunar day of the bright half commences with the 4th fixed karana viz., kintungha. Amongst these eleven karnas, the Vishti which is known as Bhadra is the most harmful and shall be avoided in all auspicious matters. The Table of karanas within tithies has been drawn to make it convenient for the readers to understand the arrangement of karanas. TABLE : 9 KARANAS W ITH IN T IT H IE S Tithi Shukla Paksha

liltadra : Bhadra also prevails during the tenancy of Vishti karana m a Lunar day. This period is considered inauspicious for election (muhurta). In other words, Bhadra is co-terminus with Vishti Karana. Bhadra is considered auspicious for barter Iransactions, cooking, yagna, propitiation of Lord Shiva as it is said that bhadra took birth from the body of Lord Shiva. (> The A scendant (Lagna) : W hile it is alw ays desirable to fix m uhurta that is auspicious from every point of view and compatible with astrological rules, but certain urgent engagem ents and decisions are required to be taken in an emergent situations which are not possible to be delayed and the time available is not astrologically propitious. There are a good number of iloshas (evil moments) which are required to be avoided for • any auspicious work. H ow ever, the sages on one hand framed strict rules in a great numbers, on the other hand, they have provided many neutralising combinations which act as antidotes. In urgent cases, if the Ascendant (lagna) is fortified, the evil effects or dosha are neutralised. The Ascendant is one of the im portant constituents of muhurta. At an extrem ely emergent situation or sudden juncture, some spot decisions are to be taken but adequate time is not available to fix a proper Muhurta, but if a right Ascendant (lagna) is picked up it nullifies much of the adverse effects caused by some weak limbs of Panchanga (Almanac) at that moment. Through the p ro ce ss of Lagna S h u d h i and P an ch an g a S hu dhi (purification), the electional time is sanctified. Lagna S h u d h i : The fo llow in g steps are to be taken fo r this purpose: i) In m uhurta chart, the benefic should occupy the Angular and Trine houses. H ow ever, vacant 7th

house is desirable. ii) The placement of malefic planets in the 3rd, the 6th and the 11th houses is considered favourable. iii)The Ascendant should not tenant any malefic planet and even waning Moon is undesirable. iv)The Ascendant should be compatible with the nature of the event. If the event, function etc., are going to be permanent or of static nature, like starting service, entering new house etc., fixed signs should be taken as A scendant. H ow ever, any activity requ iring motions or of dynamic nature, like travelling, driving vehicle, movable signs should be adopted for the Ascendant. The dual or common signs are the next best choice in both the cases. v) The strength of the A scendant, the lord of the A scen d an t and the hou se and the house lord signifying the event should be ensured and they should be free from any affliction to draw the best results. vi)The lord of the Ascendant or the navamasa lord of thera d ica l ch a rt sh o u ld p re fe ra b ly occu p y the Ascendant of the muhurta chart

However, the learned astrologers, reckoned 10 out of these 21 doshas as most important which are having potency in causing harm to the native or to the event and are to be avoided. For details, any Panchanga can be consulted as for space cons taints, these are not being described here. Panchanga (Almanac) as already said is comprised of i) Tithi, ii) Vara, iii) Nakshatra, iv) Yoga and v) Karana. To

The u n fa v o u ra b le p art of the P an chan ga for a propitious moments are to be avoided. Although status of each limb has been dealt with in much detail in the foregoing, l lie same is being described in a condensed form over here : Tithi
The 4th, the 6th, the 8th, the 12th, the 14th, full Moon and new Moon tithies should be avoided.
ii) Vara
Thursday and Friday are good. Tuesday is possibly avoided. Other days are tolerable.
iii) Nakshatra -
Bharani and Krittika nakshatras should be avoided as these nakshatras represent Yama (God of death) and A gni (God of fire) respectively.
iv) Yoga
The 6th yoga (A tig a n d a ) the 9th yoga (Shoola), the 10th yoga (Ganda), the 17th yoga ( V y a tip a ta ) and the 27th yog a (Vyadhurti) have deleterious effects upon events if commenced under the influence of these yogas.
v) Karana
Karana must be appropriate for an election. Vishti (Bhadra) karana is unsuitable for doing any good work.
As stated earlier, a right moment of these essential element of the muhurta shall be selected and efforts should always be focussed on the fortification of the Ascendant (lagna) and sanctification of limbs to ward off any evil effects, t herefore, Panchanga and lagna shudhies will ensure a good Lunar day, a favourable weekday, an auspicious nakshatra, .i suitable yoga, a beneficial karana and a fortified Ascendant (o yield the desired results.

As we are born to venerable cultural tradition, it is enjoined upon us to observe the rules and principles. Otherwise, we would be going against our own nature and heritage. It is quite possible that even selecting a good muhurta, the work intended for, may not be accomplished and one may say why to get into all this and w hat value can be attached to a good Muhurta. There is an old saying that if you fail inspite of your best efforts, you are not to be blamed. F u rth er, it is b etter to fa il by follow ing the advice of accomplished persons rather than succeed by the advice of ignoble people. We know that people die even after taking medicine but they don't stop visiting doctors. By picking up right Muhurta one gets at least psychological satisfaction and mental peace which are the great assets for a man in this troubled world. By consulting Almanac in the morning, one could secure prosperity, health, contentment and success in one's efforts. Sp ecific M uhurtas : Our great seers of yore have fixed set of efficacious muhurats to do certain act or perform various functions. The muhurtas which have been enunciated and tested by the sages and drawn for specific purposes are sound in principles. Although host of muhurtas have been laid down practically every conceivable event in ones life, it is difficult to spell out all of them over here. Since the purpose of this book is to understand this ancient science from commercial angle, we w ould deal with such m uhurtas which have bearing on professional and business activities and also m eans of livelihood. These are related to buying and selling, starting new business, investments, finances,litigation, speculatory activities etc. 1. Starting big business : Wednesday, Friday, Thursday are good week days and
Propitious moments
amongst these Thursday is the best. The tithies 2nd, 3rd, 5th, ill and 10th are favourable and the auspicious Nakshntnras are Pushya, Hasta, Chitra, Utter Phalguni,Utter Ashndn and I Itter Bhadra. Since any business or venture has to flourish with its stability, it is im portant that muhurata should have lixed rising sign, preferably Leo sign. Even dual sign are passable. The Ascendant shall be favourably placed in the muhurata Chart. Mercury in conjunction or under aspect of Itipiter is highly auspicious for the electional time. Tuesday should be completely rejected 2. Buy out business or Company : A m ongst the w eekdays, Thursday is the best while Saturday is passable. All Poorna tithies 5th, 10th and 15th are favourable and out of this, the 10th (Dashmi) is the best. Rikta tithies are to 'b e com p letely rejected. Sim ilarly, avoid Tuesday under any circumstances. The auspicious nakshatras are m ainly am ongst the dynam ic nakshatras viz., H asta, Pushya and Abhijita. Pushya being the best. Since the purpose of business is to earn profits, the 2nd house and its lord and Mercury should be unafflicted and dignified. An Ascendant of fixed sign duly fortified is essential. However, dual sign will also do under emergent conditions. The placement of Ihe lord of the Ascendant in the 2nd or the 11th is propitious. 3. O pening an e sta b lish m e n t: The week days like Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday are favourable. The 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 7th, 10th, 12th and 13th are auspicious tithies. Avoid Rikta tithies (4th, 9th and 14th) under any circum stances and rest of the tithies are passable. The favourable nakshatras are the fixed group of nakshatras viz., Rohini, U-ttara Phalguni, Utter Ashndn, Utter Bhadra. The dynamic group consisting of Ashwini, Pushya, I lasta and Abhijita are also good. While gentle and Friendly
94
Vedic astrology in money matters
nakshatras like M righashira, Chitra, Anuradha and Revati are passable. Eschew Tuesday by all means. Just as in other cases, the Ascendant should be strong and fortified. However, avoid Aquarius being the rising sign. No malefic planets should be in the 8th and the 12th houses of the muhurta chart and placement of Venus and the Moon in the Ascendant is propitious. 4. S ellin g activities : All auspicious days like Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday .are good for this purposes. Since selling is an aggressive activities, the nakshatras of this group namely, Bharani, Poorva Phalguni, Poorva Ashada and Poorva Bhadra are suitable. Besides, Krittika and Vishakha of mixed group are passable. All Rikta tithies i.e. 4th, 9th and 14th are to be avoided. The muhurata chart should not have Aquarius as its rising sign. Auspicious planets preferably be posited in Angles and Trine houses while malefic planet are welcome in the 3rd, the 6th and the 11th houses. 5. Purchasing activities : Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday amongst the weekdays are quite suitable and A shw ini, Chitra, Swati, Shravana, Dhanishta, Shatbisha and Revati are the better suited nakshatras. All auspicious tithies other than Rikta tithies (5th, 9th &14th) are favourable. (The items of the daily use such as g ro c e rie s, ce re a ls e tc ., are not in c lu d e d in th is combination) Note : The favourable muhuratas for purchases may not be auspicious for selling the things. But the fact is that an item sold by one person has to he bought by another person. N evertheless, ow ing to the n ecessity, by ignoring one muhurtha, the other muhurta could be considered. But for buying or selling some big items, a proper muhurta should be fixed.
P ro p itio u s m om ents

(). Routine Shopping : Exccpt Tuesday all other weekdays are suitable. All friendly nakshatras viz., M rigashira, Chitra, Anuradha and Revati, all fixed Nakshatras i.e., Rohini, Utter Phalguni, Utter Ashadha, Utter Bhadra and all dynamic nakshatras such as Ashwini, Pushya, Hasta and Abhijita are favourable nakshatras. Rikta T ith ies (4th ,9th and 14th) are to be av o id ed .A ll Ascendants other than Aquarius and possibly keeping the Moon and Venus in the Ascendant, the 8th and the 12th houses free from the occupation of m alefic planets and benefic planets in the 2nd, the 10th and the 11th houses are considered propitious for the general commercial activities. But if any specific big item is to be transacted, the specific weekday, nakshatra, tithi etc. ruled by that particular item should be the over riding factor. 7. Financing Business : The Movable nakshatras Swati, Shravana, and Dhanista also dynamic Nakshatras such as Ashwini, Pushya, Hasta and Abhijita are suitable for this purpose but with the exception of nakshatras Punarvasu and Satbhisha of these groups. Also specifically avoid nakshatras : Krittika, Magha, Utter Phalguni and o n e's b irth n a k sh a tra . T u esd ay and F rid ay are inauspicious. Never lend money on new Moon days if that happens to be Saturday and besides, the Moon's position in Scorpio sign is also unfavourable. The Ascendant of movable signs-Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn are propitious. The lords of the A scen d an t and the 7th house shou ld be harmoniously disposed with the 5th, the 8th and 9th houses remaining vacant. This proposition is good for depositing money in the banks, fixed deposits and other allied matters. Avoid Wednesday and inauspicious day for giving loans. However, money can be deposited on Wednesday.

8. Sourcing funds : Swnti, Shravana, Shatbisha of the group of movable nakshatras and Ashwani and Pushya of dynamic Nakshatras are suitable for this purpose. If the nakshatra of the day of taking money falls at a 2nd place to the birth nakshatra of the lender, avoid taking loan on that day. Do not borrow money when K rittika, M oola, Punarvasu, D hanishta or the birth Nakshatra is ruling. Moon's conjunction with Mars or Saturn should be avoided as otherwise it would lead to quarrels and litigation. For gainfully utilising the loan, the Moon plays a dynamic role. If the money is borrowed to be spent on a business, the Moon should be placed hormoneously with the lord of the Ascendant and Mercury, the planet of business. If such loans are meant to be utilised on personal matters, a good aspect of the Moon over the Ascendant is essential. The inauspicious days and Rikta tithies are to be meticulously avoided. Note : Tuesday, Vricihi Yoga, Samkranti days (Solar ingress) A m rit Yoga form ed by Sunday and Hasta N akshatra are religiously avoided for taking loans otherwise there will be difficulty in the repayment of loans.

9. Pledging or M ortgaging : The articles w hich are pledged during aggressive nakshatras like Purva Phalguni, Purva Ashada, Purvi Bhadra, Bharani, M agha; at the time of mixed or ordinary Nakshatras, such as K rittika and V ishakha; and ferocious (Teekshna) nakshatras viz; Aridra, Asldesha, fyeshta anci Moola are hard to get back or rather a rare possibility of their return. Rikta tithies, falling on Tuesday and Friday are to be avoided. The Moon and Jupiter should be under mutual aspect and well disposed. Appropriate tara bala and yoga should be picked up for this purpose.

Amongst the auspicious weekdays, Wednesday is the best while Tuesday is workable, if the machine is electric driven. The, prosperous nakshatras are Ashwini, Punarvasu, Pushya, Hasta, Chitra, Anuradha, Dhanishta and Revati. The Moon, Mars, Venus and Saturn should be well placed in the muhurta chart. The muhurta time shall be in the hora of Saturn. 12. Filing of a Law suit and Litigation : Wednesday, Thursday and Friday are favourable days. Shun all the Rikta tithies. The newr Moon day is inauspicious. The dynamic Nakshatras such as Ashwini, Hasta and Pushya; the friendly nakshatras like Mrigashira, Chitra, Anuradha and Reviti and Dhanishta am ongst the m ovable nakshatra are recom m ended for this purpose. Tuesday and Saturday should be avoided. The Ascendant should be strong with Jupiter preferably be positioned in the trine house. Amongst the Ascendant or navamsa Ascendant should be of Aries sign to ensure success. The 6th house should be kept vacant and there should be no connection between the Ascendant and the lord of the 6th house. Benefic placements in the Angle houses are propitious, the 8th house shall also be kept vacant. Some learned Astrologers suggest the indulgence of

aggressive (Kroorn) and ferocious (Teekshan) nakshatras. The first group is of Purva Phalguni, Purva Ashada, Purva Bhadra, Bharani, Magha and other set is of Moola, Jyeshta, Aridra and Ashlesha nakshatras. Tuesday is also considered suitable. The latter combination, perhaps has found favour in the criminal suit while the former group is appropriate for the civil suits. However, much attention on the 6th house and its lords need to be focussed to see that they do not play any mischief. 13. Competitions and Speculatory activities (Lotteries etc.): A rig h t m u lu irat for e n te rin g in to any kind of competition is no doubt enhances the chances of success but a lot depends on the strength and promise offered by the birth horoscope. Infact, the election time is for the best moment correction but it can not yield what is not destined in the chart. The strength of the house of finance and its lord, the right dasha (P lan etary period) and oth er positive influences in the horoscopic chart have great bearing in yielding favourable results. Therefore, little credence could be placed over the Muhurat in such events and also in the chance-games like lotteries, gambling etc. The nakshatras most suitable for the com petition are Ashwini, Bharani, Punanmsu, Pushya, Hasta, Chitra, Vishakha, Purva Ashada and Revati. The 2nd,3rd,5th,6th,11th,and 13th Tithies are favourable. Barring Tuesday and Saturday, all other weekday are good. The Ascendant of the muhutra chart should be of a benific planet. Since lotteries, competition are perceived by intuition and duly supported by luck, the 5th house (intuition) and the 9th house (luck), their lords and the Moon (mind) shall be kept strong and well fortified. Let the 12th house (losses) be weak and does not harbour the lord of the 11th house (gains). Besides, Saturn be kept off from influencing the 2nd house (wealth) and its lord.

14. Buying racing horse : Aslmnni nakshatra is the significator of the horses. Horse racing im bibes dynamism and hence dynamic Nakshatras such as Ashxoini, Hasta and Pushya are highly recommended. W hile P u n arvasu , Sw ati and D hanista and Shatbisha of movable group of Nakshatras are good, Mrigashira and Revati of gentle and friendly group are also suitable. Amongst the weekdays, Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday are favourable. Tuesday should be totally avoided while the remaining weekdays posses middling quality. Muhurat chart for putting the horse for racing, should have Sagittarius as its rising sign and training of the horse shall commence in ferocious (teekslina) set of nakshatras w hich are A ridra, Ashlisha, jyeslita and Moola.

Nakshatra Pushya is the best while other nakshatras of the analogous group like Aslmnni and Hasta are of middling quality. Amongst the weekdays, Wednesday and Thursday are auspicious but Tuesday and Friday shall be avoided. The muharata's Ascendant with rising sign that of either Jupiter or Venus are favourable for the beneficiary. The m alefic planets in the 3rd and the 11th houses are recommended. I he 8th house should be well fortified to provide a good longevity to the person who executes the will or act as bequeather. 16. Applying for a job or election t i c k e t : A dynamic force plays an important role in the whole gamut and hence all nakshatra in dynamic group such as Hastha, Aslmnni Pusha and Abhijita are auspicious for this purpose. The fixed nakshatra like Rohini and Utter Phalguni, Utter Ashada and Utter Bhadra are good. The gentle nakshatras namely, M rigashera, Chitra, Anuradha and Revati p o s s e s s
100

m iddling quality are also suitable. Tuesday should be avoided at any cost. The 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 7th, 10th, 11th, 13th and 15th Lunar days (tithies) are quite favourable. The Ascendant of election time should be very strong and Ascendant lord is highly dignified. The Chandra bala and the Tara bala of the native shall be w ell assessed. An auspicious yoga is an added advantage. 17. Starting Service : Here again the requirement is dynamism, permanency and gentleness for smooth sailing. Therefore, the Nakshatras signifying these traits are highly suitable. The dynamic kinds are Ashwini, Pushya, Hastha and Abhijita; fixed Nakshatra are Rohini, U tter-P h alg u n i, A shada and B h ad ra and g en tle Nakshatras consist of M rigashira, Chitra, Anuradha and Revati. The favourable weekdays are Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Tuesday, by all means should be avoided. All the auspicious lunar days are suitable but shun all the Rikta tithies (4th, 9th and 14th). The Ascendant and lord of the 1st house shall be strong. Benefic in the Angular houses and p referab ly Ju p ite r in the 7th house. T he placement of malefic planets in the 3rd, the 6th and the 11th houses are good.

All auspicious Lunar days are suitable except the Rikta tithies (the 4th, 9th and 14th) which are avoided. Fixed sign as Ascendant of election chart is recommmended. Amongst the weekdays, Sunday, Wednesday, Thursday are good while Saturday is tolerable.

19. Meeting with the authority : To call a person holding authoritive position either in government or private organisation is an important matter because the outcome of such meetings have direct bearing on the service or business. Non co-operation or holding n eg ativ e attitu d e by the h igher seat of pow er cau ses discouraging and dem oralising effects. Picking up right Muhurata thus assumes great importance. All dynamic nakshatras viz., Hastha, Ashwini,Pushya and Abhijita, all fixed nakshatras namely, Rohini, Uttara Phalguni, Uttara Ashada and all friendly nakshatras such as M rigashira, Chitra, Anuradha and Revati, besides Shravana and Dhanishta of the group of movable nakshatras are auspicious for this purpose. The tithies like 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 7th, 10th, 11th and 13th are suitable. Amongest the weekdays, Sunday, Monday, W ednesday, T hu rsday and Friday are p ropitiotis. The election chart should endow with a strong Ascendant which should preferable vargottama. A good muhurata must have b e n ific p lan ets lo ca te d in the A n gle h o u ses and the placement of malafic planets in the 3rd, the 6th and 11th houses are advantageous. An appropriate Tara bala and Chandra bala (Lunar strength) are absolutly necessary. 20. Liquidation of debts : It is q u ite p o s s ib le th a t a fte r re so rtin g to huge borrowings for running a business or to m eet any other emergent needs, the repayments part or full could not be arranged on the due dates. Under these circumtances, if right M uhurata is picked up to pay even a small am ount, the embarassing situation could be avoided. All the dynamic and friendly nakshatras recommended as in the previous case hold good for this muhurata as well. However, the appropriate and powerful Muhurata is Maitra
102
V edic astrology in money matters
muhurata under w hich the Moon is placed in Ascendant during Aslmnni or Anuradha nakshatras, if even small fraction of the dues are returned once, the debtor is able to discharge the entire liability irrespect of heavy borrowings. On Tuesday, Saturday or Sunday identical with the 9th, 14th and 4th tithies (Rikt tithies) respectively, if even a small amount is paid back, the borrower will be free from entire debts in a short time. This election time is auspicious to attain co n q u est over en em ies. It may be noted th at all the constituents of this election are of malefic nature and yet they are auspicious for these matters. At the same time, it is necessary to avoid Vishti karna ruling on Sunday, Tuesday or Saturday and comencing on the 4th, 9th and 14th tilhies. This is a very unfortune time to start liq u id atin g debts. Under these circu m tances, the repayments are never completed. Again with Rahu placed in the rising sign coinciding with Vyatipaata yoga on the day of e clip se is v ery in a u sp ic io u s tim e fo r le n d in g or borrowings. As a general rule repayment of debts should be made under favourable nakshatras with malefics positioned in the 8th house from the Ascendent of the election time. 21. Opening Ceremony : The favourable nakshatras are Rohini, Utter Phalguni, Uttar Ashada and Uttar Bhadra of the Fixed group; Mrigashira, Anuradha, Szoati and Revati of friendly group and Hasta and Pushya of dynamic group. The other nakshatras should be rejected. Am ongst the weekdays, Mondays, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday are auspicious. Saturday is of middling quality but should be avoided. The best tithies are 1st of dark fortnight (krishna paksha) 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 7th, 10th, 11th and 13th Tithies of the bright half.

The rising sign for the ceremony should be fixed one. Common sign is ordinary and movable sign is to be avoided. However, a movable sign is good provided rising navanisa of the sign be Taurus sign which is considered another felicitious time to perform such function. The 8th house from the Ascendant should be kept vacant. As usual, benefics are placed in Angular houses. The Moon should be strong and unafflicted and the Ascenciant is preferably ruled by Jupiter or Venus. 22. Settlement of disputes or compromise : In business or daily life, there have always been some occasions when some kind of disputes do take place. The efforts are made to arrive at amicable settlements. Any such settlements or compromises arrived at on a good election time are always satisfying and lasting. Therefore, selecting an appropriate auspicious muhurta is very important. The best nakshatras are Pushya, A nuradha and Purva Phalguni. Amongst the weekdays, Monday, Thursday, Friday and W ed n esd ay are p ro p itio u s fo r e n te rin g into an agreement of compromise or settlement. The right Tithies are 8th and 12th coinciding with Taitila karana. The compromise m ust be arrived at under a strong influence of Jupiter. Benefics should be strongly disposed. Saturn should be in Upachaya houses or in the 12th house. The conjunction between Rahu, Mars and Saturn in any form should be av oid ed . T he n akshatras M rig ash ira, C h itra, Dhanishta, Aridra, Swati, Shatbisha and Uttara Bhadra should also be avoided. Essential Y ogas (com bin ations): There are certain yogas of special nature which are formed with the combinations of various limbs (components) of Panchanga and could be applied with great advantage to
104

important muhuratas. If a good week day duly imbibed with additional strength of the special yoga and also with a strong lagna (Ascendant) of an election time is picked up, the chances of success of any venture or event becomes far greater. The basic conccpt behind the whole gamut is that certain weekdays, if coincided with particular nakshatras and lunar days (Tithi) acquire high degree of auspiciousness to ensure triumph in the assignment. The combination shown here under is Sidha Yoga w hich carries d istin ctio n of providing such favourable result. i) Sidha Yoga : The following combinations produce the fortunate Yoga : Weekdays

These combinations constitute Visha yoga. All kinds of auspicious works and new works must not be commenced in Visha yoga. While comparing these constituents with that of Sidha yoga, you will find that 2nd tithi on Wednesday is common in both the cases. In such an event, the benefic yoga prevails over the malafic Yoga as stated in the classical works. v) A b h ijita M uhurta : Under the emergent conditions when it is not practically possible to fix a right muhurata, our sages have allotted some auspicious time in every weekday. As we know that there are 15 m uhurtas during the day light time (each of 48 minutes) and 15 for the night. The eighth muhurata during day time is called A b h ijita m uhurata. It falls around the noon time. However, the exact time depends upon the day light.

11 will be longer during the summer and shorter in winter. This muhurata is considered to be the most propitious for any kind of work or deed. This part of the day is treated as pure and unafflicted and free from all the malefic effects.
CHAPTER - 5 PORTRAYAL OF HOUSES, SIG N S AND CONSTELLATION S IN MUNDANE AFFAIRS There are three types of heavenly charts, horoscope or maps of celestial objects which are comm only used. As already described, the first of its kind is the natal horoscope and the second one is called horary chart, while the third one, which is most relevant in this context is mundane map. Mundane chart deals with Earthly material, worldly, p olitical and com m ercial activities of the nations. It is profoundly related to the future events of the countries which get pointedly influenced by the conjunctions of superior planets like Saturn and Uranus, Jupiter and Uranus, Neptune and Uranus or Saturn and Jupiter at a certain point of time. The m aps are e rected at the a ctu al tim e of su ch c o n fig u ra tio n s . By in te rp re tin g the e ffe c ts of these conjunctions over a particular country or segment of the earth, the events are foretold. In the same manner, at the time of appearance of the New Moon, a lunar map is erected and the results are predicted for a period between one new moon to the next new' moon. The conjunction of Neptune with other planets is not so potent as that of Uranus with the other planets. However, it still is a guiding factor, mainly in comm ercial astrology because it represents the interests of the capitalists, financers,
Portrayal of houses, signs and constellations
109
rulers and traders. Besides, the planetary conjunctions of the major planets play dom inant role in generating all sorts of fluctuations and instability in the commercial, political and other market activities. Therefore, those Astrologers who are pursuing these facets rather keenly, observe their daily movements and mark the time and area where they are causing their greater influences. These conjunctions assume more importance when it takes place in the first Dacanats (Drekkana)of the signs of the cardinal groups such as Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn. Infact/when Jupiter and Uranus oppose each others or get conjunct, it creates great commotions and needs to be closely watched because it is likely to take an epidemic form. Saturn and Mars conjunction or opposition brings misfortune by way of wars, serious accidents, hailstorms etc. Further, if conjunction of these major planets occurs in sign Taurus or opposite to it i.e., in sign Scorpio, it is always followed by earthquakes in the regions falling at the latitudinal degrees of the planets involved. If such conjunction takes place in earthly tripricity, involving sign Taurus, Virgo and Capricon, it causes crop failures and draughts. In case of involvement of airy signs, it foments trouble from pests, tempests. In watery triplicity, floods etc., will be the result. Sim ilarly, horoscopes are erected at the time of solar ingress in the Aries sign. This chart depicts the events for the solar years which is counted up to the next solar return. From this solar map, learned astrologers prognosticate the effects of seasonal products. The map is drawn at the time of solar ingress in Aries sign and also in other three cardinal signs viz., Cancer, Libra and Capricorn. If the Ascendant of the solar map happened to be in a movable sign , its results remain effecitve for 90 days. But if the Ascendant is a fixed sign, the period of effectiveness could be for the whole year. If a mutable sign becomes the Ascendant, the effect will last for six months.

The solar entry into the first point of Cancer sign marks the summer for the northern hemisphere and wintery season for the southern part of the sphere. Entry of the Sun into the first point of Libra sign, sets in autumn for the northern part and spring season for the southern one. The solar ingress in sign Capricorn heralds winter season in the northern part and summer in the southern hemispheres. T h e s ig n ific a tio n o f m u n d a n e h o u ses : Just as in other charts, in mundane horoscope, the 12 houses are coterminous with the twelve zodical signs: The rules being followed in the natal charts are also observed in the mundane maps. Although the same set of axioms and precepts of prognostication are applied, there sphere and range are much wider. The signification of mundane houses in te r r e s tr ia l and w o rld ly co n te x t are d e ta ile d o u t successively. The 1st House : General conditions and prosperity of the country, public health, common people, the masses, general state of area or place for which the chart is erected. The 2nd House : G o v ern s-n a tio n a l w ealth, the exch eq u er, banking concerns, stock exchanges, commercial affairs and general trade, all money matters and revenue. The 3rd House : Sig n ifies large corporations, surface tran portation including railways, traffic, communication system, electronic and other like post and telegraphs, satellite, telephones, books, new spapers and other literary concerns such as libraries, public educations, press etc. Stock and shares, emigration.
Portrayal of houses, signs and constellations
The 4th House : A ll m atters re la tin g to lands, exp loration, m ining business, public buildings, hotels, agriculture, crops and other farm produce, land lords; opposition party in the governm ent set up, earthq u akes, land slid es, w eather conditions. The 5th House : Relates to amusement places, theaters, music halls, birth rate, children, education and educational institutions, prices of agriculture produce, issues of securities and affairs of stock exchanges, head of a business concern, speculations, b e ttin g , m o ra ls, sc a n d a ls , ra cin g , lo tte r ie s , p u b lic investalents, ambassadors. The ¥>th House : It concerns w ith public health, sickness, sanitation, hygiene, disease in general, armed forces, (including army, navy and airforce), red cross, warships, labour unions, public and civil services, national employment, medical and other services like nursing etc., industries, labour classes, strikes etc. The 7th House : It deals with foreign affairs and relations with other powers, war and international disputes, foreign trade. It also rules banking departments, marriage, divorces, partnerships in business affairs, agreement, alliances etc. The 8th House : It governs death rates, suicides, death of national ruler, termination or succession of a government, natural disasters, fam in ine, epidem ics, chem icals, oil products extracted through exploration, values of governments bonds (to be
112

judged with the help of the 4th and 10th houses and the strength of their lords), scientific organisations, medical discoveries etc. The 9th House : This house governs legal aspects of the country i.e., law courts, judges, etc., religions, commercial powers, scholars, higher educational institutions, scientific inventions and publications, insurance business, shipping and its related m atters, treaties with foreign nations, surface, air and waterways transportations, arbitrations, public opinions. The 10th House : This house denotes political situations in the country and the governm ent, the ru ler, ruling pow er, royalty,’ eminent political figures, political life of the nations, national trade and exports, reputation, credit and power etc., financial relationship with other countries, aristocracy, nobility and society, upper classes or those in power or having authority. The 11th House : In the western astrology the 11th house signifies the parliament while in vedic astrology the 10th house represents the highest seat of the government or parliament, legislation, legislators both of centre and state, agreements with the foreign governments and exchange amenities with them, stock exchange, government loans, exchange bonds etc. The 12th house : It co n ce rn s w ith s e c re t se rv ice and tre a tie s , u nd ergrou nd a ctiv itie s, e sp io n ag e, organ ised crim es, prisons, concentration camp, hospitals, asylums, orphanage and cheritable institutions, organised labour unions and strikes, epidemics and calamities. Although all the houses are in a way, important, the 10th house is of greater sig n ifica n ce in the m undane
Portrayal of houses, signs and constellations
astrology particularly in context with national activities and public matters. Therefore, the planetary disposition in this house is carefully assessed. The 1st, the 3rd and the 9lh houses are termed as intellectual houses, as the 1st house represents mind of the people, the 3rd house deals with the communications, news papers and allied matters and the 9th house represents the religious bent of the people. Therefore, the public tone and tenor which play the dominant role in the political and economic stability of the nation is judged from these three houses. Since the Ascendants of the various countries, spates etc., differ, because of their locations, the impact of heavenly bodies at any point of time is distinctively at variance or some time totally in contrast. With the change of rising sign, the signs of the houses get modified, so are the planetary configurations of the mundane maps, of a particular place or country. These important alterations bring about totally diverse results. These niceties and other micro effects of the celestial objects get amply clear as we go by further in the book. KURM A CHAKRA : India is a vast country inhabiting people of different religions, diverse culture, assorted languages, numerous customs and distinctive classes of society. This divergent scenario exists not only amongst the populace but also in other terrestrial matters and mundane business. India is also a land of farmers. A good agricultural harvest depends upon favourable weather conditions in the different regions of the country. The presentim ent or atleast vague expectations about the country's activities in different fields or for that matter, the progress of weather etc., remain the chief concern and most sought after information by one and all. The heuristic researchers right from the ancient times have established the irivolvement and concern of more than one sign to analyse subtle planetary influence over the earthly matters in this sprawTing country with straggling
114
Vedic astrology in money matters
groups and masses. According to great seers and highly acclaim ed astrologers of the ancient era, V ah ara M ih ira expounder of scripture "B irh a t S a m h ita ", India is said to be in-the domain of the zodiacal sign of Capricorn. This is what has also been stated by some other renowned astrologers. These savants who have made sustained observations of cosmic effects exerted bv j the solistial bodies and deduced through celestial phenomena such as solar and lunar eclipses over in the segment of Capricorn sign with respect India, have reaffirmed the contention of sage Varalm Mihira. Just as astronomer Potolemy studied the related effects of various signs with respect to different countries, Acharya Vahara M ihira divided it into nine regions and clubbed various regions, cities, inhabitants, villages, hamlets etc., in these nine segments and described the entire concept under the "Kurma chakra'' theory. Each of the nine divisions have been assigned to three consecutive asterisms (Nakshatras). For example, Krittika, Rohini and M rigashira nakshatras have been allocated the centre of the Chakra. The remaining 24 asterisms in triad are assigned am ongst the 8 d ivisions form ed in the 8 directions, commencing from the Eastern direction. Moving clockwise, the next triad of asterisms respectively goes to South-East, North-West, North and North-East divisions. Acharya Vahara Mihira enlisted various towns, villages, differen t places, regions, locations and hosts of rivers, m ountains besides ham lets and settlem ents of different tribes, groups of prim itives etc., of greater India as was known at that distant point of time and grouped them and alloted one of the nine divisions described above. This part has been ela b o ra tely d iscu ssed in ch ap ter xiv tiltled "Divisions of Globe" (Kurma vibhaga) of his laudable treatise 'Brihat Samhita'. However, of these places which figured in this scripture are with their ancient and mythological names most of which are no longer prevalent and it is for this reason,
Portrayal of houses, signs and constellations
115
that some of them remain unidentified even today. j Further,' some of these places w hich were famous and prominent in the older times and also well referred to in the mythological and historical books are com pletely erased or lying in ruination due to many upheavals which took place in the foregoing centuries. Yet some towns, villages and places have come to be known by different nam es which were changed several times by the invaders, rulers and lords who occupied them in this long passage of time, ever since Varaha Mihira recorded them in his treatise. Besides, most of the important historical landmarks through which these places were associated either totally perished or gone in obscurity and no longer remain as a mark of conspicious existence in the present times. However, many astronomers, historians and learned astrologers with their hard work and sustained efforts have attempted to trace out the old identity and tried to locate th ese p la ces and a lso lin k them w ith th eir p re s e n t nomenclatures. In their inspired spree to unearth the bygone days of realism, they found that the names of majority of places referred to by Vahra Mihira were, infact located near the riv e rs, sm all re v in e s, h ills, m o u n tain s and w ere accordingly becam e identical with by these sites. These places also became fragmented into sm all kingdoms and hamlets and wrere named after their lords, rulers or tribes. According to Vahara M ihira's renderings, the India which is referred as Bharatavarsha formed the central region of the globe and other countries in regular order beginning with those situated in the east are assigned to nine star triads as described previously. Many of the places and/or countries m e n tio n ed in the lis t d raw n by the sav an ts are not recognisable with certainity for reasons as explained above. Now turning to what is known as K urm a chakra: In vedic astrology by use of this chakra, several mundane events are presaged. Kurma means "Tortoise" and its limbs are denoted
116
Vedic astrology in money matters
by nine directions. The head is taken as Eastern direction while the tail is identical with West. Two arms and two legs are reckoned as South East. The right centre is allocated to North directions. The nine triads of nakshatras (constellations) have accordingly come to be identified with the nine limbs of tortoise as per the directions assigned to them .

A llo c a tio n s to n in e d iv is io n s of K u r m a C h a k r a according to Varaha M ihira : As already explained previously that Vahara Mihira apportioned the ancient format of 'Bharat Versha' which had much wider coverage than what we see today, and allotted each segment to nine triads of nakshatras, matching the nine limbs of tortoise. In the olden days each region was reckoned as "Desha", country or kingdom and not mere a town or hamlet (group of villages). Therefore, all the places which were conceptulised in the Kurma chakra by Varaha Mihira are designated as ''Desha'1but in present parlance they are just a town, state or regioii. In the table that follow s, as stated earlier, some of the important places whose existing status could be id en tified are covered w hile red u n d ant and obscured areas have been dropped. The readers may not find continuity at many places but this is what the sage has defined and the author could not find any explanation for the same. Table show ing places allotted to nine asteral triads by Varaha M ihira : Table - 1 3 Direction (Nakshatras)

In the event a nakshatra (asterism) is tenanted by any malefic planet, the direction or area denoted by such asterism get affected and adversely influenced segment is visited by famine, epidemic, destitution, distress or even get afronted with war-like situations. The most startling and intriguing part of this chakra is the operation of vedha (aspect/influence) which has preponderant effects according to some eminent astrologers. A vedha causes distress, foments trouble or incites agitations at a point opposite to the asterisms that falls under malefic influence. This is termed as vedha of nakshatras focussed at a place ju st opposite its respective afflicted zone. The malefic effects of Saturn and Rahu are more discernable rather pronounced than of any other malefic planet. Whenever Saturn or Rahu transits through any direction denoted by the bodily part of 'kurma' (tortoise) as described in the preceding table, the corresponding region endures great- sufferings. The sojourn of benefic planet e sp e c ia lly Ju p ite r p ro d u ced co m fo rta b le tim e in the designated areas. Ruling sign of d ifferent countries and towns : As stated previously, each country, region, colony or segment of the world, face dissimilar situation at the same point of time and have a distinct destiny. In prolonged and onerous pursuits of em inent scholars of astronom y and astrology accordingly have ascribed zodiacal signs for different countries, towns etc. These are though time tested propositions, it still requires diligent applications as more and more new dwelling places are coming up while some of old ones are desolated. Consequent upon sustained efforts by the astrologers each country has been identified with a separate zodiacal sign. Further, while a country as a whole is ruled by one sign, its parts are ruled by other signs. Just as in the case of Kurma chakra, the names of many places indicated by the ancient scholars have also undergone many changes and are hardly identifiable with the existing places. The relationship of the several signs in the zodiac with the

The conformity of the countries with zodical signs have been culled out from various books of emminent exponents on the subject. However, they have expressed divergent views over these classifications. Therefore, it is only through sustained practice and experience gained on the subject, the compatibility between the signs and countries, towns, areas etc., and also other mundane and worldly events could be firmed up. Basically, the territorial events those are taking place at a particular point of time when different planets sojourn over the various signs and influence that part of the earth, indicate innate relationship between the sign and that segment. These findings have to undergo severe tests before accord in g accred ition to such cla ssifica tio n s. Besides, veracity of listed countries with corresponding signs could also be affirm ed through re-ev alu atio n and necessary corrections are instituted, to produce the time tested list for

its effective application by the future aspirants. Relevance of D ecanate (D r ek k a n a) : For achieving subtle results, each sign is divided into three equal parts. This is called 'Decanate' with each part co n sistin g of 10° of arc to provide d ifferen t shades of influence to the sign and to ascertain micro effects. The twelve zodical signs are associated with what is called four triplicities or elements or state of matter. They are classified as (i) Fire, (ii) Earth, (iii) Air and (iv) Water. This distinction, it seems has been adopted from the very ancient times and naming them after the states of matter with which they were familar with, such as, condition of burning or flame (fire) and liquids (water). The word "element" as applied to the four states of matter need not be confused, with the connotation applied by the scientists. Its use by the astrologers or occultists is long antedated that by the modem man of science. The four elements represented by the zodical signs are referred to as "triplicities" because there are three groups or triads of each. The first ten degrees of sign Aries is ruled by Aries which conforms to fiery element and is imbued with power to influence the countries which are the dominion of Aries sign. The second arc of ten degrees of Aries sign is ruled by Leo sign. When any planet transit this segment of Aries sign, it affects the countries which are in the fold of Leo sign. Similarly, a planet when passes over the 3rd decanate of sign Aries it will have the dominion over Sagittarius sign and the countries or towns or places ruled by this sign are greatly infulenced during the transit of planets through the last ten degrees of Aries sign. In the same way, the effect of the three decanates of other signs over the countries, cities, segments or sectors of the earth coming under their hold could be illustrated. The classification of other signs in terms of
126

decanates is shown in the table appended below : TABLE - 15 Sri. N o.

It is quite evident from the preceding table that while a planet inhabits a sign and remains there till it spans through the full arc of thirty degrees but during this period different areas get affected which may not be represented by the sign tenanted by the planet in transit. This distinction is more relevent to prognosticate the results of major planets or more so is case of trans-Saturnian Planets w'ho have much longer period of stay. If pertinence of concept is questionable which should not be the case, inasmuch as the longer sojourns of slow moving malefic planets over a particular country or territory would otherwise play havoc for a longer period. This is generally do not happen for, either subjected country get saved by receiving benfic effects of auspicious planets during this period or malevolence of a spiteful planet is frittered away due to switching over to its influence to the next decanate, thereby, easing out its adverse effects. But in the process, it engulfs other countries or places represented by the sign of next decanate. However, the effects of the matter (element) will remain identical because all the three decanates of the signs fall in the ambit of the same group of signs.

127
Example : On 1st April 1996, the major planets Uranus, Neptune, Saturn and Jupiter were having sojourn over different signs and varied decanates and there results could be interpretted as per the foregoing scheme of things. As per N iryana System : i)
Uranus is at 10 degrees (pass) of sign Capricorn. It has ju st sw itched over to 2nd decanate. Hence countries ruled by sign Taurus w ill be affected and not those under the influence of sign Capricorn.
ii)
Neptune is at 3 degrees (pass) also in sign Capricon. Although it is in the same sign as of planet Uranus, it falls in the 1st decanate and hence, it will cause its affect on the countries ruled by Capricon sign itself but the countries represented by the other two earthy signs viz., Taurus and Virgo will not get influenced by this transit.
iii)
Saturn is at 5 degrees in sign Pisces and falls in the 1st decanate of the said sign. The countries ruled by Pisces itself will experience the results of the Saturnine transit in a great severity and not the countries governed by the other signs of watery triplicity.
iv)
Jupiter is at 22 degrees in sign Sagittarius and in th e seg m en t o f 3rd d e ca n a te . T h e re fo re, the countries ruled by sign Leo of fiery element will get influenced by Jupiter's sojourn and the countries coming in the am bit of the other fiery sign will not draw the benefit from the transit though in the same sign of this auspicious planet.
128
Vedic astrology in m oney matters
As per Sayana or Tropical system According to this system w hich is prevalent in the western countries, the longitudinal position as on 1st April 1996 of the outer planets in respect of zodiacal signs would be as follows. i)
Uranus is placed at 4 degrees of Aquarius sign in the domain of 1st decanate. Therefore, the countries represented by Aquarius itself will get affected during the sojourn of Uranus and not the countries signified by the other two Airy signs.
ii)
Neptune is posited at 27 degrees which is in the 3rd d ecan ate of sig n C ap rico rn . As su ch the countries which fall in the ambit of Virgo sign will face the affect of this planet and the countries denoted by the rem aining two signs of Earthy triplicity w ill escape its affect.
iii)
Saturn is situated at 29 degree of sign Pisces which is in the 3rd decanate represented by sign Scorpio. Therefore, countries signified by the sign will have the impact of Saturn while the other signs of this watery triad viz., Pisces and Cancer will not face its affect.
iv)
Jupiter is at 16 degree of sign Capricorn which falls in the 2nd d ecanate. T h erefo re, the co u n tries symbolised by Taurus sign will get influenced by this sign and Jupiter's transit effects will not be felt in the countries signified by the other two earthy signs namely, first Capricorn in which this planet is actually passing through and second being the Virgo sign.
The preceding exemplification would necessarily reveal that while considering countries, places, segments or areas

129
of western hamisphere, the planetary movements of Sayana system should be adopted but countries etc., falling in the eastern hemisphere shall be governed by Niryana pattern. This would help d elineating correct resu lts and avoid controversies in these two systems. The sign having its jurisidiction over a particular city, town or country is usually fixed by noting down the specific time of im portant ocurrences of events like country getting independence and asuming entity of its own. The fate of a country is also linked with the time of swearing in ceremony of a new government or head of the state. Besides, at the time of laying foundtion, opening of im portant building or public ceremonies or any other event affecting the public or community as a whole, one specific zodiacal sign is found to be rising more frequently than others. This particular zodiacal sign is considered as a ruling sign of the concerned town or country. Com m odities and their ruling signs : T able - 16 Sr.

The indication of rise and fall of various articles and commodities during the sojourn of planets in different signs are based on the elemental connections between these planets and the signs. The subtle effects could be judged through transit of planets over various constellations besides the varied state of m otions and speeds of planets such as retrogrission, direct, slow, accelerated motions or heliacal rising or setting etc. Most of these factors possessing great intrinsic value are discussed at a greater length in the relevant chapters to follow.
V edic astrology in money matters
138
The fundamentals that have gone into assessing and prognisticating the rise and fall in the market prices were based upon the characterisation of the planets and signs explained in the an cien t literatu re on the su bject and subsequent experiments carried out in the heuristic pursuits. These aspects are epitomised hereunder: a)
Planets m anifesting long terms of bu llish and bearish trends : Jupiter, Rahu, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto remain for a longer period in each zodiacal sign. The daily motion of these planets is rather very slow. Like, Jupiter has about 13 months. Rahu 18 months, Saturn 30 months, Uranus 84 Months stay in a sign. Consequently, their daily motions also become sluggish and their effects on a sign or a house or planet over which it develops a point of contact through aspects, conjunctionetc., persist for a very long time. With the result, the im pact of bullishness or bearishness of stock shares and commodities signified by these heavenly objects get prolonged. Am ongst the outer planets, Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus are the most effective and important ones. A close and constant watch on the behaviour of these planets is necessary to cast right predictions especially, in mundane affairs.
b)
Planets manifesting short terms of bullish and bearish trends: All the inner planets including the Sun, the Moon, Mercury and Venus have a short stay in a zodiacal sign. C onsequ ently, the daily motion of these planets becomes fast and the aspects formed by these planets over the other houses and planets are also for a short duration. Therefore, the periods of rise or fa ll in p ric e s in the share m a rk ets,
Portrayal of houses, signs and constellations
commodities etc., are also confined to short spells. Amongst all these inner planets, the Moon is the fastest planet hence, daily flunctuations in the prices are determined through this planet. On account of its extremely fast speed, it is difficult to accentuate a set pattern. Therefore, the effects of the transit of the Moon in various signs are even passed over un noticed. The other planets like M ercury and Venus stay around one month in a sign. When they get into retrogressions, their stay get extended to even two months. Therefore, the impact of the transit of the planet on the price flunctuations of stock shares, bullions, commodities etc., is consideredable when they become slow. The fast movements of these planets have moderate effects. Unsteady m arket trends at times, are noticed. All these factors are discernable in a great measure, from 'S arv atob h ad ra c h akra'. In this C h ak ra p o in ted ly th e movements of planets are marked through nakshatras and the aspectual effects also get altered depending upon the speed, direct or retrograde motions. Just like planets, the zodiacal signs also influence the market prices. There are certain signs which signify bullish trends while the other signs would mark bearish effects. There are yet other signs which render mixed effects. The pace of flunctuations and steadiness is also indicated by them. These varied effects are caused due to inherent qualities of these signs. Firstly, they have been classified into four groups or triplicities according to four elements (Tattwns) viz., Fire, Earth, Air and Water. Further, these signs have also been clubbed into three traits, namely; movable, fixed

and common signs. Detailing of the characteristics of the twelve signs imbibed with different kind of elements and qualities have been carried out elsewhere in the book which may be gone through to understand their effects on the mutation of prices. The bullish and bearish trends and the nature of the m utability caused by the signs have been detailed hereinbelow. i)
A rie s : It signifies strong bullish trends.
ii)
T a u ru s: This sign also tends to give bullishness but rise in the prices are slow and gradual.
iii)
G e m in i: By and large this sign sets in bearish trends. This sign also has the tendency of causing upsets or up heavals. There w ould be an elem en t of suddeness in the m utation of prices w hich sometimes remains for a short duration.
iv)
C a n cer: It is opposite of the Aries sign and is considered to be a strong sign for setting bearish trend.
v)
Leo : Just as Aries, this sign also has the characteristics of upwards tendency in prices and sets bullish trends.
vi)
V ir g o : This sign gives effect to a moderate fall in prices. At times, it also brings about steadiness in the prices and then mutation takes place slowly.
vii) Libra : This sign is indicative of bearishness. But at
Portrayal of houses, signs and constellations
141
times it does bring about sudden rises in the prices for a short run. Such probabilities shall riot be ruled out. viii) Scorpio : This sign is capable of setting bullish trends. Unlike Aries sign, the rise is brought about in a slow pace. ix)
Sagittarius : This is also a sign which produces bullish trends with an upsetting character. The overturning nature of this sign, at times, also causes short spells of sudden fall in prices.
x)
C ap rico rn : This sign gives an ordinary and moderate bullish trend. Since it is being a moveable sign, quick changes, both upwards and downwards, are also expected. It is a slow reacting sign.
xi)
Aquarius : It is a bearish trend setter. Being an airy sign, it gives sudden rise to the prices though for a short span.
xii) Pisces : This is again a bearish sign but mutation in the prices takes place rather slow ly but steadily being a sign of watery triplicity. As described a little while ago the effects of fast and slow moving planets which contribute in regulating and destablising the price structure on various markets, it is e s s e n tia l to u n d e rtsta n d the in b u ilt q u a litie s and characteristics of these celestial objects which attribute to such fluctuations. Just like signs, some planets signify bullish trends where the others will cause bearish effects. Therefore, it is im portant to know die intrinsic qualities of the pl.inel
142
V edic astrology in m oney matters
for a proper assessment of the markets and correctly marking the price trends. The presentiment of the rises and falls in the market prices by the ruling planets, play a dominant role in making crucial and spot decisions. However, the planets only show symptoms of flunctuations and also general sway on the mutation of prices but the real impacts are considered after taking into account the transit periods of the ruling planets in a particular sign and, also the nature of aspects being formed with other planets. In other words, it is the combined effect both of the sign and the planet that matters rather than considering the significations of celestial objects in isolation. The bullish and bearish trends setforth by the ruling planets are being described hereafter : i)
The Sun : It is a fiery planet and sets in a very strong bullish tendencies in the market prices.
ii) The Moon : This planet will bring about bearishness in the market as a general rule. But whenever it gets accompanied with a malefic planet, it produces bullish reaction in the markets, though for a brief p erio d . On the co n tra ry , its co n ju n ctio n or establishing any other point of contact with the benefic planets; brings down the prices. iii) Mars : Just like the Sun, Mars bears a fiery character and h elp s in ra isin g the m ark et p rices. It is an aggressive planet and is capable of installing any trend rather abruptly but such effects have a short run. iv) Mercury : This planet behaves like the Moon and creates
Portrayal of houses, signs and constellations
bearish effects on the market prices. Here again, if it gets influenced by the m alefic planets, it generates bullishness. While it gels into the fold of benefic planets, the bearish trends are highly pronounced. v) J u p ite r : Jupiter is the most auspicious amongst all the planets and is the significator of bountiness which brings salutary effect on trendy matters, even over the market prices. It also sets in a steady trend. But like the M oon, if malefic or benefic influences are exerted over it, the market prices may tend to fluctuate accordingly. vi) Venus : This planet though benefic, it falls in the segment of planets like Saturn, Rahu etc., as such it exerts bullish trends over the markets. vii)Saturn : Saturn being the most malefic of the lot which slows down the pace of development and also causes scarcity, deficiency and resource crunch. This desolate trait of Saturn gives rise to the market prices and sets the bullish trends in those items, commodities or stock market shares which falls into its fold either through transit or by aspects. viii)
Rahu :
This planet is also a centre piece of the malefic syndrome. It behaves like Saturn and casuses bullish trends. However, its effectual intricacy in crea ses and d ecreases w ith the n atu re of influence being caused by the planets. If it is supported by a benefic planet it, at times, gives bearish reactions, though temporarily.
144
Vedic astrology in m oney matters
ix) Uranus : This planet is the significator of unforseen and unexpected happenings. Though like Saturn it also gives rise to the m arket prices, it even causes flutters due to its behaviou r of u ncertainity. Therefore, it is capable of bringing about abrupt changes and wild fluctuations in the prices. x) Neptune : This planet, like the Moon, causes bearishness in the market. At times, it also gives rise to the market prices which largely depends upon the influences exerted by the other planets. xi) Pluto : It is a stro n g b u llish p la n et. If it is in the association of Saturn, Rahu, Venus or the Sun, there will be spurt in the market prices. However, the influence of the M oon, Jupiter or Mercury (unafflicted) makes it to cause short term bearish reactions in the market. NAKSHATRAS C ONSTELLATION S Zodiac of 360 degrees has been conceptually divided into twelve parts of 30 degrees each. These segments are represented by the twelve signs identical to twelve houses of a horoscopic chart. The zodiac is also segmented into 27 sections of 13 degrees and 20 minutes of arc each. These portions are known as nakshatras, Constellations, Asterisms or lunar mansions. A nakshatra is further divided into four sub-sections each comprising of 3 degrees and 20 minutes. This section of Nakshatras is known as 'Charan', 'Pada' or 'Q uarter'. In fine, the zodiac is sectionalised into 108 Padas or Quarters which are referred for tenuous delineation of results. Each sign accommodates 9 quarters involving three nakshatras holding different planetary lordships. Although
145

a sign has one ruler to interpret the gross effects therefrom, the minute analysis presaged from the disposition of the ruler of the three nakshatras so involved. Table placed hereafter carries complete details relating to signs, four quarters of the nakshatras and their lordships for ready reference. T A B L E : 18 No.

Normally we take 27 nakshatras. However, ancient scriptures of vedic Astrology contain reference to one more nakshatra with the name as 'Abhijita'. The segment for this nakshatra is carved of by taking some portion of Uttarn Ashndn and S hravan a n a ksh atras. T h is A sterism h o ld s g reat im portance in Electional astrology (muhurta) and also in various Chakras (charts) such as Sarvatobhadra chakra etc., devised by our great sages for getting instant results rather than going into the drudgery of the tedious process of through interpolation of various factors in a horoscopic chart. Seeing the importance of Sarvatobhadra chakra, particularly in mundane affairs, a separate chapter has been devoted to it. The Nakshatras There are 27 nakshatras. In addition, Abhijita nakshatra which does not figure in the general scheme,. is taken into account in specific cases particularly, in muhurta. Since its position is adjusted between Uttara Ashada and Shravana nakshatras i.e., nos 21st and 22nd respectively, 21-A is allotted to A bhijita Nakshatra for convenience sake and w ithout disturbing the sanctity of 27 nakshatras.

In ad d ition, two nodal points which are form ed at the intersection of solar and lunar courses, have also been given great improtance especially, in Vedic Astrology. They are called Rahu and Ketu and reckoned as shadowy planets. They are also known by the name, M oon's ascending and descending nodes or D ragon's Head and D ragon's Tail respectively.

* These names have tentatively been assigned to TransSaturnian planets. In reality, the Moon is a satellite of the Earth and nol a planet in the real sense. However, astrologically the Moon is always considered a planet and interpreted as such. In fact, the Moon in Vedic Astrology plays a dominant role in predicting events. Similarly, the Sun is a star and not a planet but for astrological purposes, it is reckoned as planet and called Atma Karaka (signifactor) which forms the very root of m ankind. The T rans-Saturnian planets like U ranus, Neptune and Pluto are of recent origin and discovered by the Western Astronomers. As such, there is no use of these planets in Vedic Astrology. The qualities assigned to each planet are not w ithout rationale though they may appear to be imaginative. The attributes to the planets are time tested right from the era of our an cien t sages. Any hyp oth eses w hich are tested , experienced and accepted by many, becomes fundamental laws, for example, no body denies the fact that the Sun and Mars are fiery planets diffusing much heat, and that Saturn is cold planet and opposed to the qualities of the Sun and Mars. Ever since the beginning of astrology, the ancients seem to have cle a rly exp ou n d ed the n atu re of each p la n et especially, its influences on the human life. The relation of planets with the Mundane events are also adjudged after vast experience gained from the empirical studies through centuries by the eminent astrologers which showed that the qualities assigned to each planet are justifiable. The c h a ra c te ris e s , s ig n ific a tio n s , p a rticu la rly in m undane affairs and other accidental properties of the planets are succeedingly taken up.

1. The Sun :
The Sun in esoteric sense is said to be the giver of ethereal soul (Prana). It denotes authority and governs over breath of life, the inspiration and the expiration. It also manifests spiritual, mental and physical expressions of life through its force of magnetism. All the sterling qualities, like inspiration, initiation, emotions, power and authority, b o ld n e ss, m ag n an im ity , re p u ta tio n , h o n o u r e tc., are bestowed by the planet to the mankind. It endows the person with a will power which makes the mind decisive. One has more self confidence, more vilality and more influence on ethers, in proporation to the strength of the Sun. Since the Sun governs the "Solar System", it is the pushing power of our earthly life. The Sun is considered as a malefic planet. Although its association does not destroy as badly as Mars and Saturn, it essentially gives harmful influence. The negative effects of the Sun are somewhat easily altered when it gets the benefic aspect. Therefore, when aspected by Jupiter, Venus or for that matter, by the Moon (unafflicted), the Sun produces rather benefic results. The best placement of the Sun is in die 10th house where it draws the directional strength (Dik Bala). In mundane astrology, the Sun signifies the ruler of a country w hether President, Prime M inister, D ictator or Monarch. Therefore, all the ruling classes, governm ent, administration, ministers, head of companies or enterprises come under its domain. It is important that a planet like the Sun should be placed in a good and fortified sign and well aspected by the benefic planets. The placement of the Moon in respect of the Sun should also be sound andfavourable so that the vital forces are transmitted to the individual by the Moon to a fullest extent. The Sun is referred to as the "hours arm” of the 'Time Clock' and the Moon stands for the Minute's arm to denote year and the month respectively.

1. The Moon :
In Vedic astrology, the signification of the Moon is, if not greater but equal to the Ascendant. The Moon rules "peace of mind", com forts and general well being of the native which is why greater emphasis is laid on the Moon. A strong position of the Moon strengthens the memory and in creases the ability to sense the feelin gs, m oods and thou gths of the su rrou nd in gs. T hat is w hy, the M oon symbolises contemplative and sensitive thoughts. In Western Astrology the Sun is of the vital concern because it focusses on a system covering authority, dignity etc., and not much emphasis placed on tendencies, mental peace and affinities which are the attributes of the Moon. Therefore, the Moon if gets afflicted, the success becomes rather difficult to achieve and one will never be able to lead a comfortable life on earth. The Moon governs amongst other things, the mother, females, emotional life and the public. It also rules growth and perhaps for this reason, it influences the health during the childhood. There is qualitative d ifference betw een waxing Moon and waning Moon. Placement or aspect of a bright Moon in a house gives effect at par with Jupiter in its intensity. The waning Moon is considered malefic. In mundane astrology, all matters of public nature come under its domain. Whenever the Moon gets associated with a greater number of malefic planet by position or aspect, it appears that som e ev il forces are generated to cause catastrophic effects. It signifies such business and profession as generally deal in liquids. The Moon being the most proximal planet to the earth, it is considered a very important heavenly body in mundane affairs. The Moon is m oist and femine planet. It acquires the directional strength (Dik Bala) in the 4th house where it gives excellent results.

It, h o w e v e r, g iv es e n erg y , d riv e and determination. A native with weak Mars will lack ambitions and motivation. Mars rules courage, valour and bravery, so also passions and desires. It plays dominant roles in sexual activities. It makes engineers, surgeons, m echanics with greater amount of dexterity. Mars is a masculine, dry and fiery planet which gains strength (Dik bain) in the 1 0 th house. Mars gives determination, the desire to succeed in the material fields, favours, learning of science, leadership in all pursuits and governs over foreign travellings. The power of logical reasonings, boldness, aggressive nature are all endowed by Mars. When Mars forms connection with houses relating to profession by placement or aspects, the native may adopt profession like armed forces, dentist, surgeon or engineer. He may as well pursue the vocation connected with iron, steel and fire. In m u nd ane a stro lo g y , M ars is one of the m ost important planets as it rules over strife, aggression and war betw een the nations. Related to it, Mars governs armed forces, police forces. The industrial progress also comes under its domain. The nation acheive good progress and developm ent when Mars in the horoscopic chart of that nation is dignified and well placed. In this scenario, there is rapid progress in the industrial activites of the nation. Mars is hot, dry and masculine planet. The scriptures relate that Mars represents five senses. A stro n g ly p osited M ars denotes a g reat lo n g in g fo r manifestations and creations. If Mars is weakly placed, it makes the native perverted into despotism and egoism.

4. Mercury :
Mercury deals with intellectual and com m unication matters. It is an adaptable planet as it takes the nature and quality of any planet, it is conjoined with or aspected by or happened to form an other connection (Sambandha) through exchange of houses etc. H ow ever, a lonely placed and unaffecteci M ercury produ ces benefic in fu len ce w hich energises the contact points and yields positive results. Therefore, it is essential to examine the status of Mercury in a horoscopic chart on these basis before delineating the results. Mercury gets afflicted by its association with malefic planets such as Mars, Saturn etc. W hile the associating m alefic planets get endowed with the benefic energy of Mercury and becomes powerful and the houses ruled by the m alcfic planet get benefitted but the house w here this conjunction takes place gets doubling afflicted. Intelligence, speech, education, all m ental pursuits, communication etc., are signified by Mercury. It also governs trade and commerce and is seen prominent in the horoscopes of the e n trep ren eu rs. N ervous sy stem , co n fid en ce or excitment etc., of a person is greatly influenced by Mercury and if Mercury has an adverse placement or suffers any kind of affliction in a birth chart, the native becomes fickle minded and have a nervous breakdow n and lacks confid ence. M ercury is a cold, moist and sexless planet. It acquires directional strength (Dik bnla) in the 1 st house. M ercury is the nearest planet to the Sun. When its motion is slow, its effect on the changes in the market prices is great and with the results it causes wild fluctuations in the stock shares under its domain. In Mundane astrology, Mercury rules the literary world, scientific organisations, all means of Communication and matters related to business.

5. Jupiter :
Jupiter denotes wisdom, luck and fortune. It is the most auspicius planet in the celestial sphere. Its association (S a m b a n d h a ) w ith any h o u se or p la n e t au g u rs auspiciousness and brings benefit. It is a masculine, hot and warm planet; governing over all the good qulaities and the fundamental things which are necessary for the upliftment of mankind, develoments of the mind, both physical and m e n ta l, c o n g e n ia lity , w o rd ly w isd o m , b e n e v o le n c e , judgement, common sense, steady and fortified progress in life. Jupiter represents Sntvic Gunn. It is the significator of the native's wordly possessions and fortunes and hence it bestows wealth. In broad sense, the wealth is to be taken as "value". Therefore, Jupiter makes the things falling under its influence, through aspects or conjunction etc., valuable both m onetarily and spritually. The influence of Jupiter makes a person more inclined towards traditional value beliefs, faith and devotion rather than ascetic, occult or gives mystical tendencies. Since Jupiter stands for expansion, if it is favourably placed in the native or mundane chart (of a firm), it brings about expansion of prosperity, business of such person or business house. Both Jupiter and Saturn being business planets but Jupiter tends to lavish expenditure while Saturn always makes the trade at bargain. However, if Jupiter gets afflicted, it inclines to make purchases at a higher price and above their real value. Jupiter draws directional strength (Dik Bala) in the 1st house of the chart. In fine, we may say that Jupiter is the Chief controller of the wealth and besides, it governs sincerity, honesty and positivcness. This makes one to discrimate between right and wrong and also brings divine grace in ones business acumen.

6. Venus :
Venus is the planet known for giving luxury, comforts and enjoyment. This planet is intim ately connected with articles of luxury and refinement. The Western astrologers c o n sid e r V enu s b e in g re sp o n sib le for h a rm o n y and relatedness, whereas the Vedic astrologers advocate that it stan d s for the life p artner, v eh icles or the m eans for conveyance, happiness and well being. In fine, we can say that Ventis bestows wordly success. The main characteristics of Venus is to bring person or personalities together, either for a joint business enterprise or with a string of friendship. The key factor is its ability to bring about harmony, affection, partnership which is largely governed by the position of Venus in the house and the sign of a particular horoscopic chart. Venus denotes artistic or musical accomplishments and gives an affectionate and devoted disposition. It favours the social life and makes the native attractive and desireable. It is only when afflicted that the good influence of Venus gets hindered and the trustful nature of the native is endangered by the planet. In mundane astrology, Venus has distinct bearing over the social and festive side of national life. It also denotes prosperity of the people. Although, it brings about harmony in general but when afflicted, it causes civil strife and public disorder. Venus is feminine and watery planet and is best placed in the 4th house where it acquires directional strength (Dik Bain). It is a benefic planet and enhances the auspiciousness of house it occupies and the planet that comes under its influence through aspect or association. If Venus is strongly placed, it bestows great sensitiveness with regard to both people and things. It gives the intuition to place a thing, exactly where it should be and makes you to adapt according to ever changing circumstances.

7. Saturn :
From time immemorial, Saturn has been considered to be an evil planet as it sig n ifies m isfortu ne, unending difficulties, procrastinations, delays, endless miseries. At the same time, Saturn is a hard task master, laborious, serious, practical and conservative planet. It is not that Saturn oftly gives sufferings and is less generous in confering prosperity, it is also a very impartial and judicious planet. In fact, it m akes no distinction in giving pleasures and sorrow s, success and failures, fame and infamy, riches and poverty etc. Everything in the nature has some good purpose. It would be noticed that Saturn possesses as many good qualities as bad ones. Extending some of the good efforts as stated above, Saturn also manifests economy, endurance, industry, perserverance, performanc'es and stability to all things and besides accuracy and precaution in all matters. Saturn reigns over longevity as it represents the creative power of lord Brahma. The planetary vibration of Saturn restricts, limits, crystallises and binds everything. Therefore, it being a planet of contraction and depression (opposite to Jupiter), chiefly represents economy, poverty and safety. Democracy comes under its rule. It significes labour class, lower grade employees. It attributes to labour problems, labour strikes, lock-outs, unrest. It controls over food stuff, regulating rationing system. Business in general, bankruptcy; uncontrolable expenditure by the government, shortages, national calamities etc., all fall in the ambit of Saturn. It is strong in the 7th house from where it draws the Dik bala (Directional strength). A ccording to Vedic astrology, Saturn is capable of bestowing evolutionary qualities a person may possess. A fine attribute of Saturn is its power to give leadership ability. This is related to the fact that wisdom indicated by Saturn has been gained by experience rather than philosophy, as in the case of Jupiter. In fine, Saturn is a planet which bestows the ability to govern through hard labour alone.

8. Rahu :
Rahu, in absolute sense, is an insatiable of wordly desire. It is hedonistic, unconscious and of insensitive character. Rahu behaves differently than other heavenly bodies because it is an elementable and instinctive force. Although Rahu is considered malefic planet, it is often difficult to know the exact harm it indicates in the chart. It is ofcourse, a secretive planet. Rahu is a type of planet which excites sedition and quarrels and creates commotion and civil discord. The worst violence etc., is to take place during the period of Rahu. The good and bad qualities of this shadowy planet are, in general, like those of p lan et Satu rn . T his plan et is know n for delivering sudden and unexpected results - both favourable and unfavourable. Like, if Rahu is in the 2nd house (Wealth) or the 11th house (gains) or in the 5th house (speculation) and if the lords of these hou ses are stro n g , one gets unexpected money by means of speculation, lottery or in a windfall. Rahu gets extrem ely evil when conjoined with the m alefic planets like Saturn, Mars, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, particularly when such conjunctions take place in Trika houses i.e the 6 th, the 8 th and the 12th houses. Rahu possesses the interesting quality of adventurism and aggression. It incites rebellions and mutiny etc. Rahu signifies bullishness. In association with the Sun, the weak Moon, retrograte Mars, Saturn and Uranus and Pluto planets, it sets in steady rising trends, w hile with Mercury, Venus and Neptune, it brings forth the bearish tendencies. Western Astrologers have ignored these solilunar nodes but a few researchers in the West have also studied it and applied on various horoscopic charts. They found that the adoptation of these sensitive points are entirely logical and essential to delineate subtle results as vedic astrologers have been drawing since ages.

T h is p la n e t brings forth b u llis h n e s s in th e m arket. Specially when it conjoins the m alefic planet, the rise in the prices is one sided and there is no respite, while its association with benefics causes salutary effects and the markets face some tem porary bearish corrections. Rahu's nature is cold, dry, light, mobile, subtle, d a rk , e x p e n s iv e , d e s tr a tiv e , is o la tiv e , unsensitive, disintegrating.

9. Ketu :
Kctu acording to z’edic Astrology is akin to Mars and delivers the same results as Mars. Like Rahu it also causes tumultatious disorder to originate or effect maximum trouble fo r the enem y. It also sta n d s for p ro v o ca tio n and underground activities. Whan it gets associated with other evil planets like Mars, Saturn, Uranus, Naptune and Pluto, the ill effects gets compounded. Most of its traits are inline with its counterpart Rahu barring a few which are exclusive to this node. Like Rahu, it also denotes treachery, secrets, underhand schemes, sudden events, accidents, civic disorder etc. It also brings about bullishness when get associated with the retrograde malefic planets Ketu, if located with a benefic planet in dignity, it boosts the qualities (good or bad) of the house in which such combination takes place. Like, if Ketu conjoins Venus in Libra sign and posited in the 2 nd house, makes the native very rich. If sim ilar conjunction occurs in the 9th house, the concerned person becomes quite lucky. Just as Rahu, Ketu is also known for giving unexpected results and replicat§s the results of a planet with which it is associated. Suppose, if Ketu is situated with a Yoga karaka planet than in the Dnslia (planetory period) of its disposition bestows affluence and windfall through lottery etc. Ketu signifies, liberation (Moksh) renunciation etc. While Rahu gives effects throughout its period Ketu by and large, delivers its effects in the last part. Ketu has the power to elevate the effects of strong planet with which it conjoins. K etu w hen in a u s p ic io u s ly p la ced , can ru in significations in an uncommonly, awful and devious ways. Whereas Rahu disturbs by wray of lethargy, grossness and insensivity; it does so in a manner that is much less intense and purposeful.

10. Uranus :
Uranus is the first major planet after Saturn. This planet was discovered on March 13,1781, By Sir William Herschal and as such it is also called 'Herschal'. This planet was not in the ambit of studies made by our ancient sages and oriental astrologers. Its behaviour and significations were perceived and exam in ed by the a stro lo g e rs of the p resen t era. Therefore, no classical scripture has any reference to its classification whether this is a benefic or malefic planet. The significations, attributes and other traits of this planet were firmed up through careful observations ever since. In mundane astrology, the principal significations of this planet are unforeseen and unexpected happenings, like national dignitaries, sudden national crisis. Uranus stands for change and springing a sudden turn to an on going process even though it was moving satisfactorily. Therefore, Uranus creates a strong urge to rebel against system. However, the changes it brings about can rarely take place without a breaking from the old system. It leaves indelible mark in the sign and house it transits and creates history in the nation during its sojourn over the ruling sign of that country. Uranus which replicates the nature of Saturn and Mars, possesses the tendency of igniting controversies of serious kinds that tarts chain reactions leading to civil com m otions, revolutions or even w ar of independence. Therefore, when under adverse influence of Uranus, one should keep calm even under provocation. This as w ell applies to the national leaders. By its nature of suddeness, it brings abrupt changes and wild fluctuations in the market prices due to its evil nature. Since it lives in a sign for 7 years, the effect is quite lasting. Uranus has also been regarded as a force for dynamic change and opposefthe ideas and institutions that have become rigid and out moded.

11. Neptune :
Neptune is the third largest planet in our solar system. It was discovered in the ninetieth century (1846). Since its century and half old find, the astrologers have not been able to precisely establish the nature of the planet whether benefic or malefic. This planet is very far away from earth and takes nearly 14 years to complete its round in the solar system. Therefore, it has fain t influ ence on the in h ab itan ts of the earth. However, terrestrial matters do get affected The attribu tes of these m odern planets have been established by persistent and careful observations over a long period of time. Last century or so has marked great cultural revolutions and the amount of discoveries made during this period were great and amazing. In Mundane astrology, Neptune characterises schemes . of vast magnitudes, undertakings and socialistic enterprise, big companies having big capital and public participation. It has direct bearings over all kinds of inflations. Its qualities are universality, idealism, compassion, sprituality, unreality etc. It also gives a great fancy and taste for im proved m ethods, refined im agin ative philosophy and thought reading. When it receives benefic aspects, it bestows patriotism, brotherly love, spiritual aspiration and sense of co-operation. But when it gets afflicted, it gives very harmful results such as political instability, frauds, assassination, drug addiction, blackm ailing. Besides, it also abets m ental aberrations, eccentricities and demoralising tendencies. Neptune is a planet of chaos and dissolution which precedes the emergence of a new order, appears in shaping the history of nations, especially when it is aspected by Saturn. Its influence is show n in vague, scep tical and u n co n tro lle d state w hich m ay lead to in tem p e ra n ce , dissolution and perversities.

12. P l u t o :
This is the farthest most planet of our solar system and it is the find of this century. To be precise, it was discovered in early 1930. It takes 21 years to complete zodiacal path. In astrology, the nature of this planet has not been established. Just as the other planets of the modern era, Pluto is seen representating a powerful transforming energy. Around the time Pluto was discovered transform ation of power and culture were round the corner. It was in this time that television was being made to realities and so was the invention of atomic energy. In mundane astrology the main attribute assigned to Pluto is group activity for achieving the goal and objectives. W hen Pluto gets under auspicious aspect w ithout any affliction, the group m ovem ent proves beneficial to the humanity and socities. On the contrary, in the event of evil influence, the collective action of the people brings about factionalism, division and inharmoneous activities. Pluto has the tendency to hide facts and send wrong signal to the people or society to generate friction. Pluto rules over queer changes, deep schemes and widescope organisations. It denotes the subconscious mind, the conscience, metabolism and power of assimilation. Besides, alchemy, refining processes, lethal drugs and inheritance are its other traits. The qualities of Pluto arc annihilation,transform ation, renewed regeneration. It also signifies socialistic political m ovem ent, spying activ ites. If Pluto is posited in the Ascendant of the ruler of the country, it makes the ruler most undependable and unreliable who harbours tendencies to supress the facts and distort inform ation ju st to solicit favourable public opinion. Pluto imparts dictatorial authority to one person or a groupof persons.

The house position of the planets must be taken into account in judging the results narrated precedingly. It is essential that the house and the planetary influences are combined. Placement of malefic planets in the 4th and the llth houses in the mundane chart of the nation indicates adverse situations for the concerned country, during the transit of such planets. A benefic planet in the auspicious houses discerns good time for the country during the transit. Further, the conjuction of m ajor planets in the unfavourable houses at the time of eclipse, create unhappy situations in the country. The planets are capable of showing only good or bad results in the matter of their juridiction whenever they are powerful by placem ents, aspects etc. W henever benefic planets assume greater strength, in a country's mundane map, that country is better managed by the Rulers, peace p rev ails, in d u stries flo u ris h and there is an over all prosperity. When malefic planets become more powerful, the rulers adopt autocratic stance, high-handedness and the financial position becomes critical, values of bullions rise, industries and trades suffer. Stock exchanges, share value and business houses slump. It also causes public unrest, strike, lock outs etc. As stated previously that Ju piter is the planet for expansion w hile Saturn creates scarcity and has curbing effects over all the th in g s signified by it. Rahu is an incendiary planet which replicates the nature of Saturn but by destruction we mean that Saturn only curtails the good effect but Rahu is creative of expansion first and than causes destruction. This is the prim e difference between these two highly malefic planets. Mars, Mercury, the Sun and Venus are the planets which are much affected by and pliable to the circumstances in
Significance of planets in business
which they get placed. They adopt the nature of planet which is m ore pow erfu l in the m undane map and throw its influence over them. When a strong malefic its causes effects over these planets, they develop malefic tendencies. On the contrary, in the event influence being exerted by a benefic planet they also become highly benefic. Further, the aspect of Jupiter creates bliss and prosperity for the country and S a tu rn 's a sp e c t, g en era tes cu rb in g tre n d s and destructiveness. The ultimate good or bad results which a planet gives through a house, should be based on the preponderance of in flu e n c e s w h e a th er good or b a d , d e riv ed from the placem ent of the planet in a sign and its constellation, its lordship, the aspects received by it and also the strength, situation and lordships of the aspecting planets. Just like mundane map of a country, the horoscopic chart of the big companies or enterprises could be drawn and planetary influences are noted down to analyse good or bad times for the company and to know whether it goes for expansion or its business gets curtailed.

A stronom ically an aspect is said to be the relative position of a planet with respect to another planet, the Sun or the Moon etc., as seen from the earth. While in astrological parlance, the aspect is the relative position of the heavenly bodies, especially planets, as determining their supposed influence upon human affairs. A simple illustration placed below elucidates the phenomenon for easy comprehension.

Im portance of aspects in terrestrial m ailers
If the position of planet 'A' is assessed with respect lo Lhe Sun from the Earth, they are apparently in conjunction and overlapping each other. While the Earth being in the middle, between planet 'B' and the Sun, they are considered to be placed opposite to each other. The planets placed on the left and right sides of the Earth at right angles, they are said to be in quadrant. These positions are known as Eastern or Western quadrature in which two heavenly bodies are at ninety degrees away from each other in the celestial orbits. T his is half wray betw een the points of conjunction and opposition. A half Moon is visible at the quadrature point of the Moon. Astrology whether practiced in the East or in the West, the planetary aspects in the horoscopic charts play dominant roles for predictions. This is the key factor to sketch out any kind of prediction because planets exert their influence to a certain point from their positions in the heavenly sphere. The resp ectiv e p osition of the plan ets are determ ined th ro u g h an g u lar d istan ce (arc) b etw een them and is represented in terms of degrees and minutes. All the almanacs or ephemerides either published by the eastern or the western astrologers do give aspectual positions of the planets under the head "Aspectarian" which lists out all the aspects of the planets make to one another at a given point of time, or as on a given day. The specific aspects, the planets involved, the exact time of the aspects are also furnished for minutely analysing the horoscopic charts. Aspects between the major planets play important parts in exercising strong influence on the human affairs and also on the terrestrial matters. It has been observed that the trends and fluctuations of the markets are precisely interlinked with the aspectual position, mainly important aspects of the major planets.

Vedic astrology in money matters
The major planets are known as Jupiter, Saturn,Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. The good and evil aspects between these planets indicate rise, fall of steadiness in the general business and market prices. The methodology for determining the planetary aspects is different in the Vedic astrology and the Western astrology. It means that the application of aspects in the Vedic astrology is different. It is difficult for those who are well versed with the western way, to assimilate the aspectual arrangement of the Vedic astrology. The first and formost difference in the Vedic system is that the aspects are not measured in terms of " exact degree" of the arc between the planets involved, but it is counted from sign to sign irrespective of position of the planets in the signs and relative distance between the two planets. Further, in the Vedic astrology, the aspects are classified as benefic or malefic, favourable or unfavourable, good or evil etc., not on the basis of longitudinal distance between the planets but the nature of all the aspects is determined at the strength and the inherent qualities and the lordship of the planet casting the aspect. When a natural malefic planet aspects another planet, the results are generally evil while in the case of a natural benefic planet, the effects are considered as good. Besides, the aspect of the planet acquiring malefic nature by its placement in the evil houses produces evil results. Similarly, aspect of any planet duly inbibed with the benefic quality by getting ownership of auspicious houses, like trine houses ( the 5th and the 9th ), delivers highly benefic effects. C la s s ific a t io n o f aspects : Vedic astrology considers that all the planets aspect the 7th sign with the full sight or influence. The aspects to the

4th and the 8 th signs cause 3/4th influence The aspects to the 5th and the 9th signs produce 1/2 influence. There is 1/4 th aspect on the 3rd and the 10th signs. Special aspects : Mars has special aspects over the 4th and the 8 th signs w hich is taken as fu ll and not 3 / 4th as stated above. Sim ilarly, Jupiter's special aspect is over the 5th and the 9th signs which is regarded as full and not 1/2 ( Rahu and ketu aspect the 5th, 7th and the 9th signs like Jupiter_as counted from the sign occupied by them.) Again, l/ 4th aspects i.e., on the 3rd and the 10th signs is treated as special aspects for Saturn at full value. However, in norm al practice, 3/4the influence is not given much credence while analysing the horoscopic charts. In the Vedic astrology; the planets do not have aspect on the 2 nd, the 6 th, the 1 1 th and the 1 2 th signs from the placement of the aspecting planet. Aspects of Trans- Saturnian planets The Trans Saturnian planets, namely Uranus, Neptune and Pluto do not figure in the regular Vedic system. In the native predictive astrology, these planets are not considered at all by most of the astrologers even how. However, for terrestrial matters, the effects of these planets are very much favoured by many. As a matter of fact, in the commercial astro lo g y these p la n e ts, have assu m ed m uch g rea ter importance because the major planets of which these Trans Saturnian planets are the integral part, play dominant role in the market activities. Therefore, these planets cannot be ignored in mundane affairs. There 7th aspect or the opposite position should be considered at par with the other major planets. In addition, conjunction should also be given due importance.

Since they are to be taken as equal to the major group of the planets, we could as well, assign to them the special aspects, like the planet they resemble with i.e., Uranus like Saturn ( the 3rd and the 10 th aspects), Neptune like Jupiter ( the 5th and the 9th aspects ) and Pluto like Mars ( the 4th and the 8 th aspects ). However these aspects are to be taken as minor one just to fine tune the interpretations. By treating these aspects as major, it may turn out to be misconceived and produce lop sided results. Aspects in the W e s te r n astro lo g y : In the Western astrology, the aspects are always counted from degree to degree and not from sign to sign as in the case of vcdic a stro lo g y . In o th er w o rd s,th e w estern astrologers carefully consider the exact degrees between the planets while calculating the aspects.These aspects are classified as good and bad aspects or benefic or hard aspects depending upon the longitudinal distance betw een the planets. The major aspects amongst them are Sextile aspect (60° ),Square aspect (90° ),Trine aspeqts (120°), Opposite aspect (180° ) etc. W hile the minor aspects are like SemiSextile (30° ), Sem i-Square (45°), Sesqui-Q uadrate (135°), Quartile(72°) Quincunc (150°) etc., which are sparingly used by the astrologers and most of them ignore their application particularly, in native astrology. It is difficult to remember all these minor aspects and use them in the delineations of the nativity. Further, these aspects have not been thoroughly investigated and have not received universal recognition. H ow ever, in m undane astrology of which commercial astrology is the part,even the m inor aspects are used to draw subtle results. H ere it becomes necessary because slight or minor fluctuations do, at times,cause severe impact on a business.
Im portance of aspects in terrestrial matters
In western astrology,aspects between two planets are considered equal whether a planet is behind or ahead of another planet in the zodiac.The western astrologers have devoted a great deal for achieving minute accuracy of these aspects. The aspects are the m ajor consideration in this system,if not the most im portant one. In western astrology, different nature is assigned to various types of aspects.Some aspects, as stated above, are considered to be malefic, difficult or hard ( like the Square aspects ) while others tend to be benefic or easy ( like the Trine aspects ) irrespective of the characteristics of the planets involved. Difference between Vedic and Western aspects : Aspects are formed and accounted for differently in both the systems of astrology. The major divergent features are described as under: (i)
In Vedic system, the count of distance between tw'o planets is from sign to sign while in western system ,it is measured from degree to degree.
(ii)
The m agnitude of asp ects in V edic system between the two planets is at variance where as in western system it is the same.
(iii)
In Vedic astrology, the aspects by benefics are always beneficial and aspects from malefics are always harmful ( notwithstanding to the fact whether the planet is benefic or malefic if it aspects its own house, it will strengthen the house and do not cause any harm to it). But in western system, the Sextile (60 degree) or Trine ( 1 2 0 degree) aspects are beneficial and Square (90 degree) and Opposite aspects (180 degree) are evil ones. But in Vedic system there is no such classification.
Vedic astrology in m oney matters
188
iv)
In Vedic system, the aspects of the lord of the trine houses i.e., the fifth and the ninth houses are always auspicious and the aspects of Trik houses i.e., the 6 th,the 8 th,and the 1 2 th houses are always considered malefic and harmful.
From the above, it is quite evident that the aspects of Vedic astrology in comparison to the Western astrology seem to be of general nature and non-specific. The sign aspects are far and few as against many and divergent degree-wise aspects of diverse nature, distinct quality and characteristic. However, the Vedic astrology still produces accurate results even with its limited number of aspects. Infact, aspects are not the only part in annalysing a birth chart or mundane map in Vedic astrology. There are many other tools to prognosticate the results and bring subtality in the system. In Vedic astrology,the judgem ent is based upon planetary relationship which are determined through a far-ranging system in which aspects are one of the ingredients. These relationship s are com prised of planetary deposition in various houses, friendly or inim ical relation of aspectual planets, strengthens and weaknesses (through shadbnln) so on and so forth. These factors decide the effectiveness of planetary combinations (yogas) which influence the results in its entirety. In fine, it would not be wrong to say that the aspectual system of Vedic astrology is complexed, intricate but it delivers precise and subtle results.lt involves more calculations and also interpolations of many factors than in the case of Western astrology. However, such system has typical elements of fine tuning in some areas which may render better results than the other. In this book, efforts have been made to integrate and also employ both the systems to attain the effectiveness to a greater degree.
Importance of aspects in terrestrial m atters
The O rbs of Influence : Aspects do not operate on the very date on which they are shown in the ephemerides.Each planet is supposed to exert its influence or in other words, sends out its radiance upto certain distance on either side of any aspect. The "orb" of a planet is the "extent " or for that matter 'sphere' of influ ence of that planet. In Vedic astrology it is called " D eeptam sha" w hich literally m eans "o rb of rad ian ce". Beyond the individual orb of a planet, it loses its influence. The Sun the biggest of all the planets and the center of solar system, has an orb of 17 degrees and the Moon 12 degrees while all other planets have roughly an orb of 8 degrees each. Applications of Orbs : W hen two planets are within "orb s" of an aspect, but not in actual aspect, the swifter of the two planets, if behind, eventually moves forward to complete the aspect with the other. So to say that the swifter planet applies to the slowmoving planet. This is always the case unless the former is retrograde. We may say that the moment the orbs of the two planet come in contact with each other, a mutual influence come into existence. The closer the two planets in degree wise, the greater influence is put forth on each other. Table - 24 Orbs of the Planets for the Conjunction ( degree-w ise): Planets Sun

intensification of energy. With aspect, the focal point gets energised when the planet reach the requisite number of degrees from each other. The focal point of the conjunction is reached when both planets occupy the same degree of lo n g itu d e and d e clin a tio n . H ow ev er, in a s tro lo g ica l polarence, as stated above, the planets are said to have form ed conjunction even when they are separated by 8 degree of arc. In formation of other aspects viz., Trine, Square and Opposite again certain permissible limits are laid down, like for Sextile about 7 degrees; for Sem isquare and SesquiQuadrate 4 degrees; for Semi-Sextile and Quineus 2 degrees are the required distances. The closer the aspect, the stronger it is and vice versa. The degree of orbs listed herein above m ay n o t be ta k en as s a c ro s a n c t fig u re s or s tric tly mathematically correct distance. A slight modification could be made in practice and; as per individual experience. Operating Period of Aspects : In order to identify the operating span of an aspect betw een the two planets, the orbal degree of the planets involved are to be added and then divided by two. The resultant degrees indicate the point from which the effect of an aspect begins to appear.W hen we are considering the effects of the conjunction of any two planets, the resultant orbal degrees are the starting point when the markets get influenced by the conjunction. The effects will continue till both the planets are separated after the conjunction by the same orbal distance counting it from the actual degrees of conjunction. Example : Let us take the case of two major planets viz; Jupiter and Uranus. The orb of Jupiter is 10 degrees while in the
Importance of aspects in terrestrial m atlcrs
case of Uranus, it is 8 degrees. The mean of the two comes to 9 degrees. The 9 degrees is the sphere of influence between lupiter and Uranus. The exact conjunction of Jupiter and Uranus takes place on the 16 th February 1997. The im portant dates with the corresponding degrees of both these planets showing course of these planets till they get finally separated i.e., gone away beyond 9 degrees. ( The relevant data have been picked up from Lahiri's Indian Ephemeris for the year 1996 and 1997. The positions as on 5:30 a.m. (1ST) of the concerned dates are reflected) T able - 25 Date 1. ?. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9.

(R) - Retrograde; (D) - Direct From the table, it may be seen that Jupiter and Uranus fall in the orbital degree of conjunction on 27 December 1996 and they formed exact conjunction on 16th February 1997. They have again fallen apart from the orbal influence on the 15th April 1997. In other words, they are said to be under conjunction from the 27th December 1996 to 15th April 1997. Both the planets went into retrogression in a span of one month and become direct just about the same time. Although they again form conjunction between 29th August 1997 and
192
Vedic astrology in m oney m atters
13th November 1997, the nearest point being 7°-20' only, there was no exact conjunction and hence it would cause minor effects over the markets. Here they would be under retrograde application. It may be seen that these two planets form aspect of conjunction three times : (i) 1 st time-in direct motion (ii)2nd time-in retrograde motion and (iii)3rd time again-in direct motion. This is the case with all the major planets as their motions are very slow. Classification of General Impacts of the aspects over the markets : (i)
Conjunction (0°); symbol (/:
When two planets occupy the same degree of longitude in the sam e z o d ia ca l s ig n s , th ey are said to be in conjunction.Suppose, at any point of time, if Saturn is 10 degree of Pisces and Jupiter also happens to catch up with Saturn at 10 degree Pisces, they are said to be in conjunction. The effects of conjunction varies according to the nature of planets involved in conjunction and also the sign in which the conjunction takes place. When one of them is benefic and other is malefic, the benefic effect loses its power to do good. At the same time, an evil effect of the malefic planet gets neutralised.Conjunction mainly of major planets have assumed greater importance in mundane astrology, since they indicate turning points. More so, conjunction exerts profound influences on the market trends of stock shares and c o m m o d itie s but by and larg e, it tend s to show bullishness.However, this is considered a good aspect. (ii) Parallel ( 0° declination) E; This aspects takes place when the two planets occupy the same degree of declination either both the planets are in north or south or one is in north and other is in south of
Importance of aspects in terrestrial matters
equator.The parallel aspects betw een heavy planets 1ike? Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus etc., persist for a long time but the aspects of the inner planets last for a short duration. Parallel aspects, plays dominant role in registering high fluctuations in share prices so as in the other markets. It is a very sensitive point, akin to conjunction and delivers similar but spot results. (iii) Opposition aspects (180°); symbol 8 ; Two planets are said to be in opposition to each other, when the distarice between them is 180 degrees. In this aspect both the planets are exactly in the opposite zodiacal signs but with the same degrees. For example, the Sun is 15 degree in the Aries sign and Mars is 15 degree in Libra are reckoned to be under exact opposition aspects. This aspect delivers evil results in the terrestrial matters as it denotes opposition, confrontations etc. However, like conjunction, this aspect exercises vital influence over the market and share prices. It sets in bearish trends. If this aspect happens to be betw een two benefic planets instead of malefic ones, the bearish effects get more pronounced. (iv) Trine aspect (120°) ; symbol Д : This aspect occurs when the planets are at 120 degree apart from each other. For example; Saturn at 10 degree in Aries with the Sun being in 10 degree of Leo are taken to be forming Trine aspect between them. The effect of this aspect is neutral as it brings about functional harmony. In matters relating to markets, it however, produces marked changes in the prices of stock share, commodities etc., such changes are more inclined towards bearishness but it leaves mild impact. ( In Vedic astrology this aspect is treated as very auspicious though in western, it is not considered as good )

(v) Square aspect (90°); symbol
□ :
When two planets are separated by a distance of 90 degree, they are considered to be in square aspect. Suppose Jupiter is at 20 degrees of Aries and Mars is also at 20 degrees but in Cancer sign, they are in square aspects.In western astrology, this is an evil aspect and produces considerable fluctuations in market and share prices and the effects are more inclined towards bearishness. In mundane affairs, its impact is somewhat similar to the opposition aspect and also presage occurrence of some crises. (vi) Sextile aspect (60°); symbol
:
Two planets are said to be sextile to each other, when distance between them is 60 degree. For example, the Sun is 15 degree of Aries and Mars at 15 degree of Gemini, they are under sextile aspect. This is also an evil aspect and causes fluctuations in the market and stock share prices and sets in bearish trends. (vii) Semi -Square aspect ( 45°) ; symbol
L :
When two planets are placed 45 degree apart in a chart, they are said to be under Semi-Square aspect.Suppose the Sun is 10 degrees in Aries and Mars has gone to 45 degrees Taurus, there exists Semi-Square aspect between them. This is amongst the minor aspects and considered as moderately evil and carries the same qualities as of square aspect. The aspect reflects bearish trends over the market prices but is of little consequences. (viii) Semi- Sextile aspects (30°); symbol Y_ : When two planets are at 30 degree of distance between them, they are said to be under Semi-Sextile aspect. This is m inor aspects and is considered as m ildly productive. Suppose, Saturn is at 12 degree Capricorn and Venus at 12
Im portance of aspects in terrestrial matters
degree of Aquarius sign, they form Sem i-Sextile aspec t betw een them. This is a good aspect and brings about bullishness in the market.This aspect is obtained by dividing the circle (360 degree ) into 12 equal parts. (ix) Quintile aspect (72H); symbol Q : Two planets are said to be Quintile aspect to each other, when the distance betw een them is 72 degrees. Fro example, if the Sun is at 11 degree of Cancer and Jupiter at 23 degree of Virgo, they form Quintile aspect between them.This is a w eak but good asp ect and re flects b u llish n ess in the market.This aspect comes about by dividing the circle (360 degree) in five equal parts. (x) Sem i-Quintile Aspect (36°) ; symbol -L : W hen two planets are at a distan.ee of 36 degrees between them, they are said to be in Semi-Quintile aspect. Suppose Mars at 10 degree of Aries and Saturn 16 degree of Taurus, they are under Semi-Quintile aspect. This is also quite a weak and minor aspect but delivers good results. It creates bullish trends though of mild nature. This aspect is formed by dividing circle into ten equal parts. (xi) Sesqui-Quadrate aspects (135°); symbol Lg. : Two planets are said to be under Sesqui-Quadrate aspect when distance betw een them comes to 135 degree. For example, if Saturn is at 10 degree Aries and the Sun at 25 degree Leo, there will be Sesqui-Quadrate aspects between them. This is also a minor but good aspect of a moderate nature. It denotes bullishness. (xii) Quincunc aspect (150°); symbol
7^ :
Two planets are said to be under Quincunc aspect when the distance between them is 150 degree. Suppose Saturn is at 20 degree of Gemini and the Sun is at 20 degree of Scorpio sign they form Quincunc aspect amongst them. This aspect
Vedic astrology in m oney matters
196
is also called inconjunct aspcct. This is also a minor aspect and its influence over the markets is towards bullishness. In Vedic astrology, the position of 6 th and 8 th between the planets is considered as extremely of adverse nature and is of a special and desolate category. Therefore, due care must be taken while examining the influence of this aspect. Practically all the Ephemerides carry exhaustive details relatin g to daily aspects of the types d escribed above involving all the planets.Even the exact time on which such aspects are formed between the two planets are indicated. Venus and the Sun never go more than 48 degree apart from each other. Hence the major aspects between them are only Conjunction and Semi Square. The Semi Square aspect between Venus and the Sun lasts for a very long time and produces good opportunities in the market. T he prices of gold and silver are particularly affected. The following aspects are capable of effecting changes in stock shares, bullions, commodities markets. These facts are to be kept in mind, while prognosticating the market trends:i)
Conjunction and Opposition aspects of all planets
ii)
Semi-Square aspect between Venus and the Sun
iii)

9 th) (This aspect of Jupiter with other planets however, has mild effects over the market trends) P ro g n o stic co n cep t o f m ark et flu c tu a tio n s : The fluctuation of market price of all the trading items is a common phenomenon not now but ever since trading activities had become part of daily life. From the preceding part, it is quite evident that heavenly objects play a dominant role in regulating the market price mechanism. Planetary influences over the terrestrial matters are ever changing so are the m arket tren d s. H ow ever, the prices of a ll the commodities do not follow identical sway as some become bearish and some attain bullishness while yet others remain steady or firm. The divegent pattern of price fluctuations are due to the dominance of the influence of some planets at a particular time. W hen the items ruling planets put forth their influence at that time, they only get disturbed while other remain unaffected. Similarly, rise and fall in prices of certain commodities persist for much longer duration arid at the same time, prices of other items face short spurt or sluggishness. These varied spans of im pacts are directly related to the speeds and motion of the planets as slow m oving planets reside for a longer period in a sign and thereby a particu lar com m odity denoted by it, rem ain affected either good or bad, as the case may be, on a long term basis. A reverse is the case for fast moving planets. Besides, intensity of im pact also depends upon the sign placem ent and strength of the planets and cross influences it draws by way of lordship or aspects of other planets at that point of time. M ajor planets cause long term market fluctuations : The major and weighty planets are the outer planets, staying far away in the celestial system. By virtue of these
1 98

being at the farthest distance, they remain for a much longer time in a zodiacal sign and thus perpetuate their influence over the Earth. Barring Jupiter, all other exterior planets viz. Saturn , Uranus, N eptune and Pluto are inhibited with malefic nature of varied degrees and therefore, generate lot of unpleasant happenings over the region they focus their dominance which persists for a pretty long time. Jupiter is the greatest beneficial planet in the solar system. It takes 12 Years for a complete circuit remaining one year in each sign.Being swifter than the other planets of this seg m en t, its effect is not so potent or lasting as that of Saturn or Uranus.Jupiter brings about general prosperity of the country through internal resources and new industries.Its good aspects cause much expansion and bring high values in securities and stock shares. Likewise, Saturn takes 30 Years to complete its zodiacal journey. It stays two and a half years in one sign. Its transit p ro d u ce s fa m in es, fa ilu re of cro p s, d isco n te n tm e n t, unem ploym ent and depression in the markets. Its good aspects however, brings steadiness in the prices. Saturn is a planet of restriction and it greatly effects the securities should it be under evil aspects. Uranus is the find of 18th century (1781). It resides in one sign for seven years and takes 84 years to complete the zodiacal path. Its major effect is political upheavals and re v o lu tio n s. It fo m en ts strik e s, ca u ses su d d en price fluctuations and destablises the markets and securities as a result of governmental dicta. The other trans- Saturnian planets such as Neptune and Pluto stay in one sign for 14 years and 21 years respectively and are extrem ely slow m oving planets . These planets also produce long term bullishness and bearishness in the markets depending upon whether they are under good or bad aspects.

M inor P la n e ts cause sh o rt-term m a rk e t flu c tu a tio n s : The Sun, The Moon, Mercury, Venus, live for a short duration in each zodiacal sign and as such they acquire very swift motion. The aspects formed by these planets last for a short period. A ccordingly, they show short term bullishness and bearishness in the prices of the stock shares and other m arkets.A m ongst this group, the Moon has most rapid m otion w h ich help d e te rm in in g d a ily m a rk et fluctuations.The normal m otion of the Mercury and Venus is about a month but it gets extended over two months when they also attain retrograde motion .It has been observed that since these two planets remain in the vicinity of the Sun, they demonstrate greater influence over the prices of the com m odity, stock share and even the bu llio n m arkets especially, when their m otion is slow. On getting into accelerated motions , their impacts over the market prices become frivolous and of the trivial nature. C la s s ific a tio n of S ig n s a cco rd in g to p ro d u ctiv e n e ss : The zodiacal signs are classified in three ways. These are: (i) according to elements, viz., fiery, earthy, airy and watery signs (ii) according to quality namely, cardinal, fixed, and mutable signs (iii) according to the productiveness i.e. fertility and bareness of the sign. The m arket prices are mainly guided by this aspect of sign . If the sign is productive, it will create bullish conditions in the m a rk e t. On the other hand, an infertile sign sets in the bearish trends in the markets. The groupification of signs in this fashion are as under: (a)
Fertile or productive Signs : Aries, Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Sagittarius are fertile or bullish signs. Amongst these set of signs, Aries and Leo are the most fruitful and dependable.

(b)
Infertile or barren signs : G e m in i, Cancer, Libra, Aquarius and Pisces are non-productive or bearish signs.Between them, Cancer and the Pisces are of acute nature.
(c)
Moderate signs : T he re m a in in g tw o sig n s v iz ., V irg o and C ap rico rn are of m oderate n atu re of w hich Capricorn is more inclined towards bullishness while Virgo tends to go with bearish trends.
Based on these classification of signs and planets , the asp ectu al effects of sw ift and slow m oving planets in different zodiacal signs on the market prices of the stock shares, bullion and other trading items have been tabulated and placed in the succeeding part.* Note: The Im pact of the aspects over the prices w ill be evident only in those trading items which are signified by the concerned ruling planets and zodiacal signs.

Parallel A s p e c t: T h is a sp ect is based on the la titu d e ra th er than longitude. Two planets located on the same degree of latitude are said to be parallel. The influence is similar to that of a conjunction of two planets or even more powerful. In the Zodiac, parallel states are the equal distances from the equator or having the same declinations and there is no difference whether one is in the northern latitude and other is in the southern latitude. In the preceding part, the effects of variety of aspects of different planets in various signs have been described. Since parallel aspects between the heavenly bodies are highly p o ten t, these are needed to be enlisted for the benefit of the readers. Since there are diversified results o f p a ra lle l a sp e cts fo rm ed in the N orth and S o u th declinations, these are to be categorised accordingly. Formulation of Parallel Aspect is a regular phenom enon' and it keeps on taking place practically daily betwreen one set of planets and another. No doubt, these are special even stronger then conjunction aspect, its effect on the market prices is rather temporary and for very short duration; at times, the changes occur every hour or even less than an hour. These fluctuations have its own importance and astute market players take advantage of such subtle effects and use these as finesses to wrap up exuberant profits.

As stated earlier, signs Aries , Taurus, Leo , Scorpio/i Sagittarius and Capricorn are instrumental in setting bullish trends in the markets , while Gemini, Cancer, Virgo, Libra, A q u a riu s and P isce s b rin g fo rth b e a rish n e ss in the markets.Similarly, the planets such as the Sun, Mars, Venus, Saturn, Rahu, Uranus and Pluto m anifest bullish market tones and planets like the Moon , Mercury, Jupiter , and Neptune are classified as to donate bearishness. The follow ing Table indicates the effects of Parallel aspects formed in the Northern and Southern declinations differently. On account of space constraints , the tabulation

CHAPTER-8 M A RK ET D IRECTIONS BY NAVAMSA SIGNS
A navamsa denotes one ninth part of a sign. A sign has a spread of 30 degrees and its ninth part comes to 3 degrees and 20 minutes. A navamsa plays a very important role in vedic astrology. In southern part of India, navamsa chart is j invariably referred to along with the natal or any other type of basic charts. The effects of a planet imbibed in the original chart are enhanced or subdued, depending upon the strength i of that planet in the navam sa chart. A planet may get J positioned in its exaltation sign in the main horoscope but if i| the same planet moves on to the sign of debilitation in the navam sa chart, its strength gets greatly im paired and it becomes incapable of delivering good results. In a converse situation, a debilitated planet of the main chart going into an exaltation sign in the navamsa chart, gets invigorated. Similarly, a planet being in a friendly sign in the original horoscope, happens to fall in the exalted sign in the navamsa chart, the benefic effects get further strengthen. When a planet is posited in a malefic house in the original birth chart and also goes to a malefic house in the navamsa chart, it delivers the worst results. A planet in its own navamsa sign is equated with the planet placed in its own sign of the original chart. At the same time, when a planet falls in the exalted sign of navamsa, it delivers similar results to the sign of exaltation of the birth
M arket's directions by navam sa signs
chart. A planet in the inim ical sign of navamsa is so bad as in the inim ical sign of the radical chart. Conjunction of planets in the navamsa chart is treated in the same way as in the epoch chart. It is observed that the navamsa chart is as much useful in the co m m ercial astrology as in the n atal and other branches of astrology. The effects as per the status of the p la n e ts re la tin g to fin a n c ia l m a tte rs are d iscu sse d suceedingly. On the analogy that the behaviour, status etc., of a planet remains the same in navamsa chart as in the basic horoscope, it is also referred in establishing market's behaviour. Besides, the different motions of a planet also show similar type of results in navamsa those are depicted in the main chart. A table show ing results at different planetary position in a Navamsa chart with diverse variable speed and motion, is appended below : (The chapter on the Retrogression and H eliacal Risings and Settings may be referred for a better comprehension of these phenomena) T A BLE - 29 P osition of planets in N a v a m sa

creates bearish trends in the share market, cotton and cotton yarn but bullish trend in seeds and bullions. The effects are more pronounced, if the Moon conjoins them. The Sun in Aries navamsa conjoined with Venus denotes bearish trend in shares markets, bullions, sugar and cotton prices. The effects are glaring, if this pair is also accompanied by Mercury and is posited in the Pisces navamas of the Sun. Silver, cotton, food grains are be more affected by this configuration. The Sun in Scorpio, Cancer and Pisces navamsa creates bullish trends practically in all the markets. But when the Sun gets conjunct with Mars in its Libra navamsa, it causes steep rise in prices of shares, and cotton. However, the Sun accompanied with Mercury in any of the navamsas except Aquarius and Pisces gives rise to cotton and fabrics. The silver becomes bullish when the Sun in Leo navamsa gets involved in mutual aspects with Saturn. Besides, the Sun in conjunction with Ketu in Leo navamsa also brings forth great rise in bullions. СUu-micu H ow ever, the Sun in the navamsa of Saturn sets in bearish trend in silver specially when Venus comes under a Semi-Square aspect from malefic planets. M ars b y n a v a m s a : The conjunction of Mars with Saturn inspires shares and cotton markets. The placement of Mars and Saturn in the same navamsa of Cancer, Virgo, Capricorn and Pisces sign generates serious turns, if labour strikes or unrest etc., is in progress. Mars in the Gemini navamsa brings about rise in wheat, spices, metals, linseed and raw sugar. But Mars in Virgo or
ц 218
Vedic astrology in money matters
Sagittarius nnvamsas generate heavy bullish trends in shares, cotton, silk, wheat, cloth and the effects get intensified, if Mars is conjoined with the Moon. Mars in Libra navamsa lifts the prices of jute, cotton yam, pulses etc., but the p rices of silv er goes down. Mars conjoined with the Sun in this navamsa duly aspected by the Moon creates firm rise in cotton and silver prices. The position of Mars in the Cancer and Pisces navamsa generates uneasiness in these two items as prices fall temporarily. However, the prices of copper, sugar, wheat, jute show upward trends. Mars in Aries and Libra navamsas develops rising trends in silver but on the other hand the prices of gold falls in Aries navamsa. In Aquarius navamsa, Mars brings heavy reactions in the silver market and combining with the Moon, it sets in a verv bullish tone. J Mars in Taurus, Leo, Virgo or Capricorn navamsa gives rise to gold prices and at the same time, if the Moon receives benefic aspects the bullish trend gets assured. Besides, Mars in Taurus navamsa produces rising mood in the items like Jute, yarns, cotton, textiles, wheat and share markets. The placement of Mars and Saturn in the same navamsa also generates spurts in the m arkets due to compound malefic effect. In Scorpio navamsa, Mars gives rise to all types of metals, silver and shares. But in M ercury's navamsa, Mars causes drop in silver prices especially if Mercury is under malefic aspect to Mars by signs. Timber Markets including fire wood and charcoal go up, if Mars gets into the navamsa.о f Sagittarius. Rahu and Mars combine in a navamsa however, generate a good bullish

tone in bullions, edible oils, but at the same the time Ihe prices of cotton, yarn, share values get dropped considerably. The Capricorn navamsa for Mars sets in higher tone in silver, wool, oils etc., but the prices of cotton go down. Venus conjoining Mars in the same navamsa generates high buying capacity in silver and cotton markets and particularly so, when both of them are under good aspects. Mercury joining M ars in Leo Naimmsa gives rise to the prices of all types of metals. While Mars in Mercury's navamsa (Gemini and Virgo) drops the silver prices especially, when it is under the malefic influence of Mars by signs. M ercu ry b y N avam sas : A retrograde M ercury in its own navamsa produces downwards trends in ground nuts, seeds but sends signals for the rise in jute prices. The position of Mercury in the Aquarius navamsa brings sharp drop in the stock shares and this trend is strongly marked, if the Moon or Venus conjoins Mercury. In Gemini's navamsa also, Mercury registers fall in the share prices particularly so when Mercury comes under a setting orbs (combustion) or get conjoined with the Moon. In the same Gemini navamsa, Mercury sets in bearish tone in cotton market. But in conjunction with the Moon or in setting state, bullish trends are established for bullions. However, Mercury in the navamsa of its other sign Virgo accompanied by either Jupiter or Venus posts sharp drop in all markets and the effects are more glaring, should the Moon also joins them. Again, Mercury duly conjoined with Venus, if falls in Gemini naimmsa causes flutters in cotton and silver markets. However, Mercury in Taurus navamsa shows upward trends in cotton prices. In Libra navamsa with the Moon falling in the same navamsa, it sets in bearish trend in cotton markets.
220

Mercury in the navamsa of Jupiter (Sagittarius or Pisces) slides down the silver prices but Mercury in Piscian navamasa brings about bearish trends in the wheat prices and the fall is pronounced, if Mercury is in conjunction with Jupiter. Mercury and Mars conjoining in the same navamsa, the prices of silver get dropped sharply but in Scorpio navamsa, it gives rise to silver markets. However, the gold prices are slumped under the same circumstances. In the navamsa of Cancer, Mercury though registers downwards trends in cotton, the prices of edible oils go up. In Leo navamsa, Mercury creates rise in gold, silver and yarn. Ju p ite r b y N a v a m a s a : The placement of Jupiter duly accompanied by Saturn in the navamsa of Venus signs particularly in Libra generates bearish trends in silver and cotton prices and causes sudden changes in markets' behaviour. In the navamsa of Saturn (Capricorn or Aquarius), Jupiter creates bullish trends in the commodities or other articles signified by Jupiter. Saturn and Ju p ite r fa llin g in the sam e navam sa also produce bullishness in the cotton prices. In the Aquarius navamsa, if Jupiter conjoins Mercury, it also results in high cottOn prices. In Leo and Pisces mwamsas, Jupiter also raises the cotton markets but by its placement in Capricorn or Virgo navamsa, the prices of cotton become sluggish. This result is more glaring when Jupiter forms conjunction with the Moon. While in a setting state, the transit of Jupiter over the navamsa of Aries, Taurus or Gemini, registers bullish trends in the share markets, silver, textile, fabrics, jute, sugar and cotton and such effects are strongly marked when it receives aspects from a malefic Moon (dark half) Also in a setting state, Jupiter falling in the navamsa of
M arket's directions by navamsa signs
Virgo or Pisces posts bearish trends in share markets, silver, sugar, cotton, when the Moon is in this state, the results are pronounced. Jupiter, Mars and Venus combining in the same navnmstt give rise to the cotton prices. But in V irgo's navnmsa the prices of silver and cotton get dropped particularly when the Moon is associated with Jupiter in any form. V e n u s by n a v a m s a : The placement of Venus in Aries navamsa causes upward trends in the prices of silver but at the same time the prices of cotton, wool and linseed register brearish trends. Venus in the navamsa of Taurus gives rise to stock markets while in Gemini navamsa the prices of wheat, rice and coarse grains take on to rising trends but Ju te's m arket slips. Cancer navamsa of Venus brings bullishness in cotton, yarn, edible oils, sugar and Jute Markets. The position of Venus in the navarnsas of Saturn posts marked changes in edible and non-edible oils. If this Venus is under Moon's malefic influence (dark half) the market rises and on the other hand, Moon casts benefic (bright-half) aspects on Venus the prices are dropped. The placem ent of Venus, Jupiter and Mercury in the same navamsa, the prices of cotton and silver are dwindled. But Venus in Sagittarius navamsa marks rising trends in stock shares prices but the prices of cotton and silver are dropped, especially when the Moon form a conjunction with Venus. Venus in association with Mars in Taurus and Libra navamsa sets in bullishness in stock shares, silver and cotton. In the navamsa of Saturn (Aquarius), Venus registers fall in share markets and food grains but the prices of silver show up. In Capricorn navamsa, Venus creates rising trends in rice,
222
Vedic astrology in money m atters
jute, silver, wheat, coarse grains but the prices of gold are dropped. In Piscian navamsa, the prices of wheat and cotton mark lo w er tre n d s bu t the p rice s of s ilv e r go up. V enus accompanied by Jupiter in a navamsa makes the markets steady which tend to rise. The placement of Venus in Leo navamsa generates rising trends in gold, spices, groundnuts, edible oils. While in Libra navamsa the prices of cotton show upwards trends but the share m arkets become bearish. Venus in Scorpio navamsa gives rise to a reactionary tone in silver but as and when it comes in conjunction with the Moon, the prices fall. In Aries navamsa duly conjunct with the luminaries, a good bearish tone in cotton prices is set in. Sa tu rn in N a v a m s a : The placement of Saturn in Virgo navamsa gives rise to cotton prices and the results become glaring when Saturn comes under the malefic aspect from the Moon. When Saturn and Mars together are placed in the navamsa of Gemini, Capricorn or Pisces, the prices of cotton seeds, edible oils also show upwards trends. Saturn in Aquarius navamsa accompanied by Mars gives sumptuous rise in shares and cotton prices and these effects are strongly marked when the Moon also conjoins them. Saturn in Aquarius navamsa though creates rise in silver and stock shares but bearish tone is set in for cotton. The rise in share market is well pronounced if Saturn comes under the favourable aspect from the Moon. W hen Saturn duly conjunct with the Moon gets placed in the navamsa of Aries, Gemini, Virgo or Capricorn, the share prices ascend steadily.

223
In the navamsa of Scorpio, Saturn set the downward trend in silver and cotton prices but in Sagittarius navamsa, it gives rise to stock share but the prices of silver go up by the placement in Capricorn navamsa provided, Moon conjoins Saturn in this navamsa sign. The prices of cotton, seeds and stock shares dwindle w hen Satu rn duly accom panied by Ju p iter falls in the navamsa of Libra. The M oon upon joining Saturn in this navamsa, produces emphatic results. At a particular point of time, if the placement of Saturn in Virgo navamsa is synchronised with the position of Jupiter in Pisces navamsa, the prices of cotton are flared up. Saturn being in retrogression conjoins Jupiter in this navamsa brings forth steep rise in share, cotton and silver prices rather rapidly. Satu rn and Mars p laced in the sam e navam sa also produces bullish tone in cotton share and silver prices but stock shares and silver are worth selling at rise before correction in prices sets in. In Aries navamsa Saturn registers rising trends in gold, silver and metals but in Leo navamsa, it gives rise to edible oils and sugar. H ow ev er, Satu rn and Rahu in the sam e n avam sa generate bearish trends in stock shares, cotton and yarn and the fall in prices is severe, if Saturn acquires a setting state. Rahu by n a v a m sa : The placement of Rahu in the navamsa of Aries induce stockists to indulge in good buying which sets a fairly bullish tone in the markets. This trend becomes intense when Moon forms conjunction with Rahu.
1 224
Vedic astrology in money matters
In Taurus navamsa, Rahu again generates bullishness and the prices of silver, cloth, cotton, yarn but the results are reversed once Rahu is joined by Mars in the navamsa sign. Rahu in Gemini navamsa reduces the demand in the markets thereby setting the tone of bearishness. Silver etc., should be sold off quickly as their prices will fall sharply. In order to contain the losses bullions are sold . Placement of Rahu in Cancer navamsa, reverses the trend and the prices go up and this effect is marked well when Rahu, at the same time, receives benefic aspects from Jupiter. Such a trend is stronger when Rahu reaches the latter part of navamsa. In Leo navamsa, Rahu tends to give rise to the prices of spices, ginger, chemicals, sugar. The bullions are also edged up th ereb y b rin g in g su d d en ch an ge in the m ark ets behaviour. Rahu in Virgo navamsa initially registers drop in the market prices and then it springs rise to the sluggish trend at a much greater pace and the investors and speculators go in for hectic short coverings. In the Libra navamsa, Rahu generates scarcity in rice and white article thereby marking rapid and sharp increase in their prices. The stockists indulge in emergent speculative purchases. Placement of Rahu in the navamsa of Scorpio marks low er trends and registers fall in the prices of all the commodities. The bearish situation is more glaring when Mercury joins Rahu in this navamsa. The sluggish trend is mainly on account of surplus availability of these stocks against depressed demands in the markets. In the navamsa of Sagittarius, Rahu also posts rising
M arket's directions by navam sa signs
trends in stock shares, silver, Jute, clothes. There is going to be brisk buying of these stocks as the rise becomes steady. Although placement of Rahu in Capricorn naimmsa also brings about rise in prices of the item s covered under Sagittarius navamsa but the rise will be due to scarcity of these items and the rapid rise will deter the investors against heavy purchases. Rahu in Aquarius navamsa, if accompanied with Mars, gives rise in cloth, yarn, stock shares, Jute prices. The markets of these items remain sluggish in the beginning and any buying resorted to during this period generates good profit when sold off at the latter part when market shows uptrend. Rahu in Pisces navamsa produces sharp rise in the food grains markets. The purchases made before Rahu getting into this navamsa, if are sold during this period yield good profits. In the navamsa signs of Mars i.e., Aries and Scorpio, if Rahu get conjoined with Saturn, it results in utter scarcity of items like metal, silver, Brass, copper and their prices register sharp rise. Share markets also post rising trends. R e su lts o f c o n ju n c tio n o f p lan ets in a n a v a m s a : When Saturn, Jupiter and Venus are combined in one navamsa, it creates scarcity in the market and with the result the prices of commodities rise thereby setting a bullish trend. If Saturn is associated with two malefic planets viz., Mars and Rahu in the same navamsa, it generates political destability or communal troubles. This situation raises the bu llio n s m arkets so also the foodgrains and its allied products. But the prices of other u tility products, get depressed due to low offtake. Again when Saturn is accompanied by Sun and Mars in a particular navamsa, it also ferments communal disturbances
226
Vedic astrology in money matters
adversely affecting the trading activities in general. Frequent strikes or 'Bands' (forcefully closure of markets) disrupt the commercial transactions. This is the period a trader should watch very carefully. If during the same time, Jupiter also casts its malefic influence over, either of these three planets, the bu siness com es to the low est ebb due to m arkets remaining suspended for number of days on account of these disturbances. The Sun, Ju piter and V enu s,if are lined up in one n avam sa, they produ ce b e a rish m ark et trends due to favourable reports from the government authorities over higher output of food production etc., as Jupiter is the significator of plentiness. Instead of Jupiter, if Mercury conjoins the Sun and Venus in the same navamsa, it creates bullishness in cotton and textile, food grains, stock-shares. Jute due to low key trading of these items as the affliction of Mercury curbs the business activities. Again, if Mars substitutes Mercury and conjoins with the Sun and Venus in a particular navamsa, the edible oils, pulses, wheat and sugar are traded at a higher note as market activities are rallied on emergent speculative purchases due to rumours scotched by the political forces. In place of the Sun, if Saturn combines with Mars and Venus in a navamsa, it perks up the prices of stock shares, edible and non-edible oils, cotton and textile. However, if Jupiter draws its benefic aspect over this combination or any of these planets, the rising effects get curbed and divergent trends are witnessed. However, when the conjunction is caused in Taurus navamsa, the prices of stock shares, Textile B u llio n s, oils reg ister upw ard trends due to p o litica l u n stab ilities and scarcity con d ition s p revailin g in the markets follow ing the speculatory buyings. The sim ilar
M arket's directions by navam sa signs
227
effects are observed w hen Mars, Saturn and the Sun are posited iii the navamsa of Taurus but it is due to draught conditions caused by the scanty rains. Placem ent of Rahu, Mars and Saturn in any of the Jupiterian signs viz., Sagittarius or Pisces, gives rise to panic buying of gold and silver as the bullion markets become highly reactionary due to serious confrontations and tensions mounted between the native and other countries. The p osition of Satu rn , Rahu and M ercury in the navamsa of Saturn (Capricorn or Aquarius) causes heavy spurt in the prices of tim ber, fire wood due to heavy d e fo re sta tio n and im p o sitio n of r e s tr ic tio n s by the government on felling of trees. Jupiter, Mars, Venus and Saturn falling in the same navamsa, create scarcity practically in all the essential items due to p olitical causes. The prices, as a m atter of fact, fluctuate depending upon the aspect of the Moon. A benefic aspect (bright half) generates fall in the prices to some extant while a malefic Moon (dark half) influencing any one of them by conjunction or other case brings forth good rise in the prices. In place of Jupiter, if the Sun joins the trio viz.,Mars, Venus and Saturn, in the Saturian navam sa, it ferm ents disturbances in the general public and cause unrest to labour or communed agitations. This creates dicey situations for the traders at large who are utterly confused over the speculatory buyings as all sorts of rumours grip the sentiments of the masses. Keeping a low profile under this charged atmosphere is always beneficial. The placement of Mars, Saturn, Venus and the Sun in the M arsian Navamsa creates a situation where a country reels under draconian or anitrading laws which causes
228
Vedic astrology in money matters
salutary effects over thebusiness activities. Any speculatory buying fraughts with danger of losing proposition. So a prudent businessman should keep himself away from such activities. The Sun, Mars, Venus and Rahu conjoinin g in the navamsa of Mars, viz., Aries and Scorpio, the prices of milk and milk products, cotton, sugar, are looked up due to brisk buying by the government agencies. It thus, generates heavy demands of such items.
CHAPTER-9 TYPICAL FACTORS CAUSING SH O RT & LONG TREN DS The commcrcial long range and short range trends are established differently by the vedic and western astrologers. The methods are briefly discussed in this chapter. V edic Systems 1. Yearly trend. Under this system, in order to find out the long-range trends of markets, the navamsa position of the slow moving transiting planets is marked carefully. When Jupiter gets into accelerated speed, and transits through its exalted navamsa sign, it manifests the highest rates during this period set forth by the increased demands. In this position, the production is good but the demands surpass the production. On the other hand, if Saturn passes over the navamsa of inimical sign, the commodities' price show tremendous rise on account of low productions and scarce conditions. If over and above, Rahu also conjoins in these navamsas, the markets touch dizzy heights. Mercury basically being the planet for business, if it happens to join the malefic planets in the inimical signs, there are spurts in all the markets which rise unchecked. Should Mercury get associated in their favourable positions i.e., in own or friendly navamsas, the markets remain under
230
Vedic astrology in money matters
check. The position of Saturn in the navamsa of exalted sign, Rahu too is placed in its exalted navamsa and Jupiter being in the navamsa of earthy sign, generate such conditions under w hich the m arkets are made to touch the bottom line. Further, when Saturn is duly accompanied by Mercury in its slow7 motion, transits through its own sign and Venus is also in a setting state, the markets reach to the lowest rates of the vears. ii) M onthly trend : The monthly trend is based on the Solar ingress in the nakshatras, lunation and aspects of the fast moving planets like Mercury and Venus. When Mercury gets into an advance position to Sun and acquires an accelerated speed, the prices are dropped. When Mercury in accelerated speed remains behind the Sun, the markets rise and touch new heights during the month. The longitudinal distance between Mercury and Venus indicate the difference between spot buying and speculatory or forward buying. When Mercury and Venus get apart to the maximum distance i.e., 76 degrees, the gap between spot and forward buying are the lowest. However, the varied speeds of these two planets are the deciding factor of the margin of spot and forward buying rates. If Mercury is faster than Venus, the spot rates are lower than the forward rates. H ow ever, w hen M ercury gets slow er than V enu s, the forward buying becomes higher over the spot market. In the event, the speed of both the planets becoming equal, the difference between them get vanished. When Mercury comes closer to the Sun and Venus remains apart either behind or ahead of the Sun's position, b u llish trend s are estab lish ed . H ow ever, the m om ent Mercury parts with the Sun and Venus gets near to the Sun, either through conjunction or in the same signs, the markets

begin to drop. Fluctuation of M arkets : Whenever a planet signifying a particular commodity or m aterial, transits through a friendly sign and receives aspects from malefic planets, the prices of such commodity ctc., show rising trends. If such planet sojourns an inim ical sign and also receives the aspect from a malefic planet, the rates plummet. During the period, if the signs ruled by the said planet come under benefic aspects from the luminaries, the rise in the prices is going to be enormous. In a situation when planet in question transiting over a friendly sign comes under the benefic aspects of the Moon or Mercury, the prices show downward trends. However, at that time, if the same planet is aspected by the benefic planet Jupiter and sign ruled by the said planet is also well aspected by any planet, it produces the rising trends in the commodity or article signified by the concerned planet and sign over which it has the lordship and also representation of such items. The effectual results relating to price fluctuations of any commodity or product generated during the transit of its significator over the various signs such as own, friendly, inimical etc., and at the same time, such significator and/or their ruling sign also receives aspect (benefic or malefic), are elucidated through an illustration cited succeedingly. Gold is ruled by the Sun and sign Leo. Whenever, the Sun sojourns over a friendly sign and also receives aspect from the malefic planets, the price of Gold rises. But when the Sun transits an inim ical sign and is under an adverse aspect of malefic planet, the prices of Gold are dropped. Around the same time, if Leo, the sign ruled by the Sun receives benefic aspects from the luminaries, the rise in prices
232
Vedic astrology in money matters
is greater. But should sign Leo fall under malefic aspects, the prices are lowered. On the other hand, if the Sun passes over a friendly sign and aspected by the benefic Moon, the Gold prices show downward trends. But if the Sun receives benefic aspects from Jupiter and Leo is also under a good aspect, the prices of Gold acquire bullish trends. For delineating effects in respect of the other products, sim ilar sequence is adopted by su b stitu tin g the right significator (planet) and the sign(s) ruled by such significator of the product. To facilitate the readers, the ruling planets and the signs denoting different products are reiterated in a tabulation form as under. The readers should apply the same set of rules as enunciated »in the case of Gold to ascertain the price fluctuations of other products at different point of time. TABLE - 30 Sr. No.

rules could also be ap p lied rather e ffe ctiv ely on the horoscopes drawn at the time of solar Ingress. These combinations are not exhaustive but brief one just to make quick assessment. However, if the situation permits, these results could be reaffirmed through other methods which are also described in the book. W e ste rn S y stem : The w estern astrologers prognosticate the markets behaviour and commercial trends by tracing the movements of Ju piter, Saturn and Uranus. Since they are the slow m otioned planets and cau se the im pact for the longer duration, the long range trends are attributed to them. Prosperous time in trade and commerce is indicative through mutual influence of Saturn and Uranus, Jupiter and Uranus or Saturn and Jupiter. These com binations set in bullish trends particularly when Jupiter casts benefic aspects over. Saturn and Uranus. By the malefic aspects between these three slow moving planets, the market prices are affected to some extend. When Ju piter and Uranus get locked in a benefic aspect and at the same time, if they receive similar aspects from the other minor planets, the markets show bullish trends at least for the period upto which benefic influences of the minor planets persist. How'ever, when these benefic aspects are altered by the malefic effects of other minor planets, the correction to the bullishness takes place. In an opposite scenario, when these m ajor planets get engaged in a malefic situation, it sets in unfavourable trends in the markets and commercial activities. Should there be any benefic aspect from the minor planets falling in between this period or m ajor p lan ets th em selv es turning into favourable position, the lowering trends get levelled up through positive reactions lim iting to this period. But if malefic influence is caused by the minor planets supporting

235
Ihe malefic aspects between the major planets, it results into .1 1 loop depression in the trade and commerce. This situation produces highly bearish trends and also lasts as long this unholy alliance exists. Amongst the various combinations of major planets, the i (injunction of Uranus and Saturn is known for creating the most bearish trends. On the other hand, the association of I ir.inus and Jupiter tends to bring about bullishness in the m.irkets. Uranus is known to be the most flexible and pliable pi,mot. It easily gets imbued with the nature of the planet which casts the influence over it. I ong trends : In order to ascertain the market trends on a long term lusis, the related aspects between these,three major planets me to be marked. The aspectual position between the two Iи;1, planets viz., Saturn-Jupiter, Uranus-Saturn and UranusIиpi ter are identified for a particular point of time. I) B u l l i s h t r e n d :
Generally the benefic aspects between these distant pi.mot s denote long time bullish trends. However, if Jupiter I <*i ins a n aspect with Mars in between the trend, there is ■.purl in the market prices, provided Mars is ahead of Jupiter (in .111 advance house). The involvement of minor planets htich as Mercury and Uranus and also Mars and Neptune ii Iso brings about bullishness in the markets. As already ’.I.iled in the chapter on 'A sp ect' the beneficial aspects lirlwoon these heavenly bodies do boost up the market prices i onsiderably. In brief, we can say that Mars and Mercury lo n ju n ctio n , M ercury being in settin g state or getting irli ograde, Jupiter causing its aspect over the fifth house of IIn* mundane map, Neptune in good aspects with Mars or liipilor, Venus conjunct with Jupiter or Neptune, Venus in

accelerated speed conjuncts Mars etc., are the sensitive and typical points which set the high rated bullish tone during a long term upbeat markets. These are the peaks marked in the graph of the market trends. ii) Bearish trend : It could be noticed from the above that long range bullish trends are on account of aspects and other influences between the three major planets i.e., Jupiter-Saturn, UranusJu p iter and U ranus-Saturn. H ow ever, when the m ajor planets come in contact with the other malefic planets such as Mars, Rahu and even they form malefic connection with Mercury, Venus etc., the markets reel under the most bearish period. The conjunction of Saturn-Mars, Uranus-Mars, RahuMars, Rahu-Venus, Rahu-Sun (effects cotton's share and yarn), U ranus-M ercury, M ars-Jupiter (Jupiter being in advance state), retrograde Jupiter and in the Square (3rd aspect) of Satu rn and all these com binations produce bearishness in the m arkets. The aspectual effects have exhastively been dealt with, in the chapter dealing with aspects. M onthly trends : To identify the monthly markets trends in the business activities, the western astrologers take the Sun as a major factor. The dispositer of the Sun (ruling planet of the sign in which the Sun is posited) becomes the indicator for the month. The types of influences, aspect etc., receive by the indicator form the basis of monthly market forecasts. As we know, the Sun sojourns (solar ingress) a sign in the same month every year. Therefore, the indications should remain fixed for each month. But the indicators of every month in different year receive aspects or conjunction from different

planets and do not obviously have the same set of influences. The benefic aspect gained by the indicator registers rise in the m arket prices w hile malefic aspects bring down the prices. This procedure of ascertaining the market trend has to go with the Sayana system. Like the Sayana Sun's ingress in the sign Aries or Scorpio, Mars becomes the indicator for the entire solar month. The westerners have now assigned lordship of Scorpio sign to Neptune in which case, Neptune becomes indicator. Sim ilarly, when the Sayana Sun remains in Taurus or Libra sign, Venus becomes the indicator for those solar months. In the same manner, the indicators for the other signs be id en tified and the m onthly m arkets fluctuations are noted down on the basis of benefic and malefic influences exerted by the other planets over the indicators. Sepharial, the great exponent in the field of western astrology, has identified the planetary rulers or significators of various products. This list has been tested and upgraded by the others with the passage of time. For the benefit of readers, it is being reproduced below : P la n e t

The bullions play dom inated role in any coun try's economy. The fluctuation in the gold prices produces snow balling effects on the market of other items. Similarly, the status and the performance of a company is judged through the manner and the rates the stock shares of the company are transacted in the stock exchanges. How the stock share values fluctuate, how the prices of gold and silver rule, all could be assessed by closely monitoring from the aspects of, their significator and with the related indicators. Let us take three predominant items which exert for reaching effects over the markets. G o ld : While considering the fluctuations in Gold prices, due attention is to be paid to its significators viz., the Sun and Jupiter besides its indicator. When the indicator develops benefic aspects with the Sun and Jupiter, the prices of Gold post rising trends during that month. On the contrary, in the event of formation of evil aspects between the indicator and the significators of Gold, its prices register bearish tone in the concerned month. S ilv e r : The significators for Silver are the Moon, M ercury, Venus, Jupiter and Rahu. When any of these significators get into a position to form benefic aspects with the indicator, the prices of Silver are likely to go up and in the event of
240
Vedic astrology in m oney matters
indicator posts malefic aspects, the prices of Silver are edged down. Stock Shares : The sig n ificato rs for Stocks and shares values are Uranus, Neptune, Saturn, Mercury and Jupiter. The moment any of these planets form benefic aspects with the indicator, the share prices climb up and on the other hand, if the aspects being of malefic nature, the share prices get depressed and register bearish trends. The positions of significators and indicators could easily be ascertained from the Ephemeris which generally devotes a separate section showing aspectual positions between the planets on daily basis.

ECLIPSES : THE M A JO R D ETERM IN AN TS OF M A R K ET S TENDENCIES The eclipses both Solar and Lunar perform critical function in mundane and terrestrial events in general and economic affairs in particular. The Sun and the Moon eclipses have 4detrim ental effects over the m arket behaviour. Th,e economic activities of the countries in whose sign the eclipses are focused are hit greatly and most significantly leaving telling impacts. The turmoil and disturbed period is normally extended over a considerable time. The country's economy amongst other things, suffers by the diverse misfortunes and relapses. This situation directly influences the mechanism of the market.In other words eclipses have great bearing over the mortal affairs, land, products, trade and commercial activities of the nations those fall in the ambit of the core position of the eclipse. The effect of a Solar eclipse generally remains for as many years as eclipse lasts in terms of hours.In case of Lunar eclipse, the effects persists for as many months as many hours the lunar eclipse lasts. However, it has been noticed that the after effects of solar eclipse do not occur immediately after the lapse of the eclipse but it takes place after some time that may be after number of months. While Lunar eclipse delivers its effects im m ediately after the eclipse is over. It is also observed by many learned astrologers that
242
Vedic astrology in money matters
the duration of the impact of partial Solar eclipse continues for as many months as the eclipse remains in terms of hours duration.And in case of partial Lunar eclipse, the effccts continue for as many clays as the eclipse last in as many hours. The Solar eclipse takes place when the Moon happens to fall in between the Sun and the Earth. Solar eclipse always occurs on munvasya the 15th tithi (Lunar day ) of krishnn paksha (dark half of Lunar course). While the Lunar eclipse takes place at the time when the earth comes in between the Sun and the Moon.This position befalls during the full Moon day. About the span over which Solar and Lunar eclipses p ro d u ce th e ir e ffc c ts , m any a n cie n t and ren ow n ed astronomers have different versions. The observations of Claudius Ptolem acus b etter know n as Ptolem y are as follows:a)
Should the eclipse befalls in the eastern horizon, its impact is manifested during the succeeding four months
b)
W hen the eclipse occurs in the m idheavens, its effects show up betw een the fourth and eighth month and the major im pact is felt in the sixth month.
c)
If the eclipse happens to take place in the western horizon, its effects come about between the eight and the twelve month and severity of impact takes place towards the latter part.
According to Carden : "To know when the effects of the eclipse begin to be felt, take the distance of the rising of the luminary to the middle of the eclipse or from the middle of the eclipse to the
Eclipses : M ajor determ inants of m arket's tendencies
243
next rising of the lum inary in hours and m inutes. The proportion of time, the length of the day may bear to Ilie year in case of a Solar eclipse, and the proportions of time is die night may bear to the year in a lunar eclipse, will show the proportion of the year due to the interval obtained." H ow ever, the thumb rule generally applied by yet others is to work out the time of sun rise or sun set from the middle of the eclipse and measure the impact by taking four minutes of the period for one day or assume twenty four hours to one year. As stated above, the effect of the lunar eclipse commences immediately while in case of solar eclipse the after-maths occur after a lapse of some months. Further, eclipse is visible in a different proportion in the different part of the world. Somewhere it is total eclipse and in other part of the world,it is invisible and yet in other part, it is partially visible. Therefore, impact of the eclipse is generally taken in proportion to its visibility. In other words, where it is invisible, it will have no perceptible influence over that region, city or country while its effects will be greatest where it appears full. Besides,some learned astrologers have also observed the timings of the impact to take place in the event of total or partial eclipse. In the event of total eclipse, the effects are seen to occur within twenty days. At the places where 3/4th eclipse is visible, the results are seen coming up with in a month. When the eclipse is half visible,the impact takes place with in two months. While at the places where l/ 4th eclipse is visible, the effects surface with in four months. The timing and the m agnitude of the im pact gets altered when any planet sojourn over the degree in which the eclipse takes place. The results of the transit of a planet at eclipse point are identical with the nature of the planet. The influences of the planets over the eclipse are described succeedingly.

M ercury :
When Mercury aspects the eclipse, it creates bullishness in edible oils,honey and the ruler and the ruling party of the cou n try o ver w h ich the e clip s e occu rs runs through unfavourable time. If Mercury is posited in the same sign in which the eclipse is formed, the rulers of the country face trying time. Venus : W'hen Venus aspects the eclipse, the standing crops are destroyed,the general trade and the commerce becomes bullish. The populace of the country or town falling under the influence of eclipse passes through difficult time due to inflationary trends. M ar s : If Mars aspects the eclipse, it creates war,fire, accidents and theft cases go up. There are feverish trade activities in the country. Many new concerns are floated. The impact of the markets will depend up the characteristics of the sign occupied and the nature of aspect caused by the planets. Normally, it generates good market active buying and bullish tendencies. If Mars resides in a sign in which eclipse takes place, it m anifests political turm oil, fire accidents and com m unal distu rbances in the country w hich in turn, destabalises the business and trade activities. Ju p ite r : The aspect of Jupiter over the eclipse subdues the malefic effects and creates bearishness in the markets. The Ju piter is the m ost auspicious planet and it procreates expansion and bestows plenty and the excess availability and thereby depresses the prices which from the market point of view are the negative features. However, when the Jupiter
Eclipses : M ajor determ inants of m arket's tciuloncii's
is situated in the sign or identical point where eclipse is focussed, the rulers, dignitaries, learned persons suffer on account of its malefic effects. Satu rn : W hen Saturn aspects the eclipse, it creates fam inish conditions due to scanty rains and scarce resources. The incidents of arson, violence, looting etc., are at increase. The concerned country over which the eclipse creates greater im p acts, goes into depression due to fervent p o litical a c tiv itie s and u p h ea v a ls. M any o th er u n fo rtu n a te h ap p en in g s take p lace. The v o la tile situ atio n greatly depresses the markets and such trends last for a considerable period. If Saturn is found to be residing in the same sign in which eclipse takes place, the production of m etals and mining operations get impaired due to some incidents of mine disaster,mishap etc. As a result, the price of metals, gold etc., perks up and destablises the market. Uranus : If U ranus asp ects the eclip se , it fom ents strikes, revolutions, civic unrest and political turmoil w hich results in change over in the political power. Naturally, in the situation of lawlessness, if a party fails to exert its authority, it degenerates the trade and commerce of the country and causes greater amount of buoyancy in the market and spurts in prices go unchecked. The results are more pronounced, if Uranus is located in the sign in which the eclipse is formed. Neptune : When Neptune casts its aspects over the eclipse, it g en era tes ch a o tic co n d itio n s,d e m o c ra tic sy ste m gets disturbed and autocratic type of government over takes the country. Besides, there remains utter confusion which gives way to conspiracy or plot against the rulers. Under these
246
V edic astrology in money matters
circumstances, the prices of all commodities clim b steeply and rate of inflation registers all time high. Pluto : When Pluto aspects the eclipse, it produces devastating results. The country under the intense influence of eclipse undergoes most difficult period and even gets confronted with war like situations, the out break of the communal or ethnic disturbance etc. Share markets pass through ruinous phase and its prices get dropped rather steeply much beyond expectations. Even essential commodities become scarce and their prices are shot up and some may attain meteoric rise that would not get back to original level thereafter. E ffe c ts o f e clip se s in lu nar m o n th s : Varaha Mihira an ancient exponent of this science while dwelling on the subject "Rahu's course" (Ralm-chara) in his treatise Brihat Snmhita, has described the effects of eclipses occurring in the twelve lunar months beginning with kartika in twelve verses from 69 to 80 in chapter V. The lunar months are also like twelve solar months but in a different time frame. Each lunar month is named after a particular nakshatra which falls on the full moon day. The solar months are of about 30 days duration w hile lunar month has an average span of 28 days which is the cyclic period of moon through twelve Zodiacal signs. In fine, we can say that the solar month is the period during which the Sun stays in a particular sign and the lunar month is the p eriod in w hich the M oon so jou rn s the tw elve signs. Generally, the lunar month commences from the third week (between 20th to 23rd) of solar month. The lunar year starts with lunar month chaitra which is named after the Nakshatra chitra. The beginning dates of the twelve lunar months of each solar calendar of India are as follows :

In the Brihat Samhita, sage Varaha M ahira by and large, described in the stated verses, the effects over the specific areas which are g'oing to be affected, should the eclipse take place in a particular lunar month. It also gives indications about the climatical disturbances that such eclipses cause and depending upon the weather conditions prevailing in the lunar month of the eclipse, the crops having dominance in that month get impaired causing scarcity in the produce of the said crops. With these important inputs, the im pact on the other terrestrial matters were studied by the savants of astrology for centuries and collated useful information. In the succeeding part, out of the available material on the subject, the information which is having commercial utility and also to some extent covers the mundane affairs, has been called out. While the basis of studies remaining to be the ancient scriptures, the ongoing effects which are found com patible with the subject matter of this book are also brought out for the benefit of the readers. 1. Kartika : When the eclipse takes place in the lunar month of the Kartika, it creates bearish market trends. The items to be
248
Vedic astrology in money matters
affected are edible oils, food grains. The rise comes mainly after the eclipse. In the event of the solar eclipse, apart from the items of the lunar eclipse, cotton, coarse grains etc., also face moderate downward trends but the effect occurs before the formation of the solar eclipse and gets steadied after the eclipse. Note: One rule is worth observing is that while analysing the effects of solar and lunar eclipses, in the case of solar eclipse, the bearish effects take place before the occurrence and the market become bullish after the eclipse is over. While in the case of the lunar eclipse, the market rise is before the eclipse and fall after the eclipse. The rule holds good in the majority of the cases provided no big conjunction takes place just about the time of the eclipse, either before or after. The dwellers of the eastern region of India face great sufferings but people of the other parts remain prosperous. 2. Margashira : When the eclipse takes place in the lunar month of Margashira, it produces favourable time and sets in bearish trends in the markets. Eclipse falling in this lunar month also brings about good rains which results in rise in the agriculture produce. However, bullish trends follow after seven months. Solar eclipse gives rise to the prices of edible oils, sugar, cotton and food grains. People of Kashmir and the in h a b ita n ts on the w estern b ord er area of India, encounter trouble some time. However, people of other areas prosper. The markets of wheat, iron, steel etc., go up. 3. Pausha : Should eclipse takes place in the lunar month of Pausha, the people of Sindhu region undergo sufferings. There are scanty rains leading to famine conditions. The solar eclipse

iluring this month generates bullish trends till the onset of i ,iiny season w hich actuates dow nw ard trends in the in.ii kets. There are going to be plenty of rains which yield )',<»>d crops. Lunar eclipse in Pausha month sets rising trends in cotton prices, textile, stock shares, edible oil, cotton yarn Hr. The prices of coarse grains, land, properties, vehicles Hr., also register higher trends. 4. Magha : If an eclipse occurs in the month of Magha, the farmers .i 14* to be mighty happy due to timely and adequate rains. It ii t relig io u s p erson s m ainly those liv in g in B an aras (Varanasi) and Bengal come to grief. Lunar eclipse in this month encourages the stockists to hoard the commodities. II stocked before eclipse, it yields great profits as the prices ol food grains are going to rise to a great extent after the I.ipse of four to five months. In the event of solar eclipse l.iking place in this month, it results in heavy and wide spread rains. But the prices rise later on due to good buying 11 om outside the region. Perfumes, electronics goods become rostly. .S. Phalguna :
W hen the eclipse takes place in the lunar month of I’halguna, the people of Bengal and those living in mountains .ind also religious persons face trouble. The solar eclipse i reates good bullish trends in the grain markets. Sugar, grains and edible should be stored, and disposed of after lour months to collect neat profits. The lunar eclipse also sots in rising tone in the same commodities for a short period ol 45 days. The eclipse also raises the markets of cosmetics, incense materials etc. (•>. Chaitra M o n t h : In the event of eclipse occurring in the lunar month of
Vedic astrology in m oney matters
Chaitra, the Vedic scholars, goldsmiths, musicians etc., and those living in Orissa region are affected. There rains are scanty. The lunar eclipse brings about bearishness in food grains but it goes bullish during rainy season. Solar eclipse sets rising trends in gold, grains immediately after the lapse of four months. The winter crops are good and wheat prices show up after two months. 7. Vaisakha Month : The eclipse in the lunar month of Vaisakha destroys crops of cotton, sesame, sugarcane, moong( pulse). People living in Sind, Ayodhya, mountain terrains come to grief. The eclipses set in bearish trends in the markets. Lunar eclipse gives rise to cotton prices. Cotton yarn,wheat, linseed are going to cost more. However, the markets of Sugar, edible oils register low, but other markets remain steady. Outside buyers create bullishness in grains after the lapse of five months from the occurrence of eclipse. The solar eclipse on the other hand produces bearish trends on accounts of favourable rains and production of food grains goes up. Stocking of cotton and its yam, cloth, edible oils and selling it off after seven months will yield sumptuous profits. The prices of petrol and petrol products also register rise. 8. Jyeshta Month : Eclip se o ccu rrin g in the lu n a r m onth of Jy esth a , generates trouble for the rulers, king, head of states, and religious people. The destruction to the crops takes place. The rains are uncertain and the food grains production drops. In the event of solar eclipse, it is advisable to sell off bullions as bearish trend will prevail. The bearishness is more intense in the case of lunar eclipse. Forward trading in food grains is going to be profitable, as eclipse reduces the curren! demand.

9. Asadha M o n t h : If an eclipse occurs in the lunar month of Asadha, the people of Kashmir, China, Afghanistan come to grief. Punjab and centre regions of India also face some trouble. Lunar eclipse makes cotton prices to go up and the prices of edible o ils, su g ar also rise. S o la r e clip se c re a te s p o litic a l disturbances and war like condition may come about. Loss of crops, famine, steep rise in food grains markets are the other outcomes of the eclipse in this month. 10. Sravana M o n t h : W hen the eclipse takes place in the lunar month of Sravana, the people of Kashmir, Punjab, China, Afghanistan get into trouble. The crops of winter season get destroyed. However, the other parts face prosperous time. The rains are plenty and food grains production is good. Lunar eclipse produces good crops and there is slump in the prices of grains. But the prices of cotton, Yam, Cloth register upward trend. Solar eclipse in this month brings about epidemic in the month of Kartika (i.e. after 3 months ). The food grains prices go up in the areas influenced by the eclipse. 11. Bhadra Month : If eclipse occurs in the lunar month of Bhadra, the people of Bengal, Kalinga, Magdha, Surashtra are affected. However, the commodities prices fall. W hen solar eclipse takes place in this m onth, the m arkets go bearish and populace experience comfortable time. A lunar eclipse in this month produces bullish trends in the food grains, sugar, edible oils. The prices of cotton register buoyancy due to brisk buying by the outsiders. Bullions however, post lower rates.
252

12. A sw in M onth :
When the eclipse takes place in the lunar month of Aswin, it foments trouble for the people of China, Yavanas and those living at the bank of Indus river etc. The food grains production is going to be good due to good rains w h ich b rin g d ow n the p rices. H o w ev er, arm s and ammunition dealers, doctors, chem ists pass through the difficult phase of their profession. Lunar eclipse brings about great enthusiasm in trading circle. Forward markets go bullish due to generation of heavy demand from the foreign buyers. The rise in the prices is also evident in the items like edible oils, saffron, turmeric, antimony etc. On the whole eclipse in this month proves to be highly beneficial for the trading community. Weekdays and Eclipses : Week days accom panying the eclipses, exert greater influence over the trading activities. Lunar months and week days put together provide synchronou s effects w hich corroborate the results with the synthesis of inputs delivered by a particular weekday and the lunar month in the event of eclipse occurring over there. With a view to read out the minute impacts of eclipse, the results of lunar month and week day are sim ultaneously assessed, w hich could be conveniently figured out and we need not run through the various other complex methods described by the Sage Varah M ahira in his work Brihat Samhita. Infact all the writings on this subject in the later centuries stem from this treatise. However, many savants of astrology have experimented further by giving wider application to encompass more and more objects, material etc., of the contemporary world. Listed hereafter are the results of such efforts which are open to testification.:
Eclipses : M ajor determ inants of m arket's tendencies
253
1. Eclipse Occurring Sunday : When a solar eclipse takes place on Sunday, The market prices of edible oils, sugar, rice, wheat, pulses rise after the lapse of two months. In the events of lunar eclipse occurring on this day, the markets of cotton, wheat, linseed etc., go bullish. The stock shares of the companies manufacturing and marketing food products hit buoyancy. The sale of these commodities after five months would reap good profits.The white metal and the article slumped. Therefore, selling of silver etc., before the onset of the eclipse forestalls losses. A full lunar eclipse on this day incites wars amongst the rulers. 2. Eclipse Occurring on Monday : Should a Lunar eclipse occur on Monday, the prices of cotton, edible oils, etc., move up in particular. In the event of solar eclipse taking place on this day, it posts a rise in the markets of cotton and textile. The white commodities like silver, rice, milk etc. become costly after the lapse of four months thereafter. 3. Eclipse Occurring on Tuesday : The Solar eclipse falling on Tuesday, the prices of wheat, tomatoes, carrots and red coloured articles become bullish. However, after the lapse of four and a half months the markets of wheat, sugar, silver, rice, jute etc., register rising trends. The lunar eclipse on this day creates good buying capacity and the markets and the prices advance especially in cotton, textiles, wool, wheat, linseed. 4. Eclipse Occurring On Wednesday : When the lunar eclipse falls on Wednesday, it raises the markets of cotton, brass, copper, gold, millet, moong (pulse ), vegetables, wheat, iron etc. Timely buying of these items affords good profits as the rise in both the cases is going to take place after the lapse of two months.
254

5. Eclipse Occurring On Thursday : A solar eclipse taking place on Thursday induces a good rise within one and a half months in the items like edible oils, linseed, castor oil and all other seeds, red and yellow colour goods, viz., chillies, saffron, turmeric etc. A lunar eclipse occurring on this day however, creates fall in cotton a week either side of the date of the eclipse. But cotton registers rise after the lapse of two months. Edible oils, turm eric, seeds etc., as in the case of solar eclipse, post bullishness in the same manner. 6. Eclipse Occurring on Friday : If lunar eclipse takes place on Friday, it produces reactionary trends in the cotton market. The prices drop in the first three months and then rise with the same, quantum in the next three months. It however, raises the markets of salts, pearls, silver. The solar eclipse registers good rise in th e p rice s o f d ia m o n d s, c lo th e s , co sm e tics etc. The improvement in the trade is due to foreign demands in the above commodities which generate bullish markets. 7. Eclipse Occurring on Saturday : W hen the solar eclipse takes place on Saturd ay, It registers rise in the prices of urad (pulse ), black grams, millet, fuel, lubricants, petrochemicals products etc. If the lunar eclipse takes place on this day, it raises the markets of oil seeds, groundnuts, jute, iron, steel etc. After effects of eclipses falling in a particular sign : The preceding part makes one thing strikingly clear that eclipses have deleterious and harmful effects on the bullions, stock markets.and also the government securities of those countries in w hose sign the eclipses exert the maximum influence. The securities endure antagonistic adversties
Eclipses : M ajor determ inants of m arket’s tendencies
255
which fall back to a worse state, after a short improvement. The effects fructify when any one of the major malefic planets sojourn on that sign and form contact on the point over which eclipse focuses its intensity or that planet comes on a point in the opposite sign. The results of transiting planet are id e n tica l to the in tr in s ic n a tu re o f the p la n e t duly supplemented with the characteristic of a sign it rules or transits. The planetary effects have already been described earlier and the outcome of eclipse occurring in different signs are given hereafter. (a) Effects by the nature (quality) of the signs : It has been found by the em inent astronom ers cum astrologers many centuries ago that the effect of eclipses fallin g in the Fixed sig ns ( T au ru s, Leo, S co rp io and Aquarius) w ill have very lasting effects. W hile effects of eclipses in the Cardinal or Movable signs (Aries,Cancer, Libra and Capricorn) will have short but intense impact and get over soon. In case of Common or Mutable signs (Gemini, V irgo, S a g itta riu s, and P isces) the e ffe cts of eclip ses com m ence rather im m ediately and persist for a longer duration but with interruptions. The effects of these different nature of the signs over the mundane m atters are listed below.: (i)
Cardinal or Movable signs : Eclipses occurring over these signs disrupt national trade, functioning of the government,adverse effect on the crops and mortality besides, inciting some upheavals in the political affairs of the country and cau sin g co n seq u en t changes in trade and the economy of the country.
(ii) Fixed Signs : Eclipses occurring in the fixed signs causes set backs
Vedic astrology in m oney matters
to the national finance and money matters which come about rather abruptly, especially when it is least expected. Besides, it also sets in the calamities by way of floods, earthquakes, epidemics, famine, explosion, death of some efninent person etc.All these disastrous events leave telling effects over the country's economy. (iii) Common or M utable Signs : Eclipses taking place in these signs incite labour unrests, strikes, non cooperation movements by the p o p u la ce, in crea se in crim e ra te s, s ic k n e s s, accidents, communal riots, religious congregations lead in g to d istu rb a n ce s etc. T hese u n la w fu l activities generate man made shortages due to low productions. With the result the markets flare up and stock markets slump. (b) Effects by the Elements (Tattawa) of the signs: Ancient theory held that matter was derived from four elements i.e., Fire , Earth, Air and Water and these four trip licities correspond to spirit, space, time and matter respectively. The twelve signs have been divided into four groups of three signs each and w hich are called the four elements or triplicities.The Fiery signs are Aries, Leo and Sagittarius; Earthy signs are Taurus,Virgo, Capricorn; Airy sig n s are represented by G em ini, Libra, A qu arius and Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces are the Watery signs.The signs of the same element are placed trine (1 2 0 °) to one another and thereby creating the basis for the harmony. The effects of the eclipses over the sign of each group, restrictin g to terrestrial matters with specific reference to the financial and the market aspects, are described as under. (i)
Fiery Signs : Eclipses in the fiery signs manifest raise in the taxes.

extremely hot weather, scarcity of rains, war threats, army movements, discontentment amongst masses, poor crop especially, in those regions affected by the eclipse, sensational public events, death of public figure, fire incidents, etc. (ii) Earthy signs : Eclipses in the earthy signs create scarcity of agricultural and natural produce caused by the drought.Even the standing crops get damaged. Earthquakes, mining disasters and excessive short fall of food grains due to low output are the results. The cou n try fa ces stern and vexed fin a n cia l p ro b le m s.T h e g o v e rn m e n t is g o in g to have misadventures and in the process, the trade and the agriculture of the country are greatly impaired. (iii) Airy Signs : Eclipses taking place in airy signs causes famine sic k n e ss, p e stile n c e and d istu rb e d w ea th er conditions. Country develops strained relations with other nations. Disputes amongst ruling and other political parties come about causing much discomfort to the public. Some treaties or alliance may however be executed. (iv) W atery Signs : Eclipses falling in the watery signs result in high m o rtality am ongst the com m on p eop le, cause destruction to marine products and discontentment among the labour classes. Death of the rulers or any other distinguished personality may take place. Excess rain followed by flood causes heavy loss of lives, outbreak of epidemic is the other result. As stated above, the loudest effects,good or bad, caused

over those countries or regions where these effects are analysed in accordance to the aspects of the m ajor and ponderous planets and also the size of the eclipse. The maximum period of influence does not last for more than four years at one place. However, the position of the nodes is very important in all eclipses and that could be ascertained by the longitude of the nodes at the time of the eclipse. If the market trends are bullish before the occurrence of the eclipse, the market prices, in which case, are likely to fall after the eclipse. In case the market prices are ruling low or bearish before eclipse takes place, the markets go bullish after the eclipse. The dates of occurrences of the eclipses are available on many years in advance, in practically every Ephemeris. The sign in which such eclipses are going to be positioned and the regions or countries where these are visible, total, partial or invisible are shown. Depending upon the size of the visibility, the period and degree of effectiveness could be determined. Just for information sake, the timings of the Solar and the Lunar eclipses with date, day, Indian month and zodiacal sign in which these eclipses are formed have been tabulated for five years i.e. from 1996 to 2000 AD.

ROLE OF SOLAR IN G RESS IN COMMERCIAL ACTIVITIES The Sun is also a star forming centre piece of astral configuration. It forms the core body of the solar system, around which the earth and the planets revolve. The Sun endow s the system w ith the lig h t and w arm th by its radiation. Predominance in the celestial sphere makes the Sun the chief concern in any matter as every thing originates from it. T he Su n b e ca u se of its su p rem e sta tu s and devoutedly revered in every religion, is denoted by a host of names to relate its contributions in several worldly affairs. To list out the connotations ascribed to the Sun is beyond the scope of this book. However, the decipherment of solar effects, particularly in terrestrial matters, in this chapter will testify the dictum fairly well. In the Universe, our Earth is also considered to be a planet. The location of the Earth is near the zodiacal sign Cancer. Transit of any planet in this sign means that it is near to the Earth. In the same way, if any planet moves in the extremity to Cancer, that planet is said to be located at a farthest distance . These two states are astronomically known as Apogee and Perigee respectively- In commercial astrology the distances of the planets from the Earth and the Sun are the important tools to presage the rise and the fall in the prices of the commodities.
Vedic astrology in m oney matters
The Sun's motion becomes faster in the first week of July and gets slackened in the first week of January. During the accelerated motion of the Sun, the prices tend to rise, if the transit is happening to be through inimical, detrimental and fallen houses. The items affected are those denoted by the Sun. Reverse are the effects, when the Sun passes over the friendly and the exalted houses as the same commodities become cheaper in that case. While Sun being with its slow motion, sojourns inim ical house creates bullish trends but in detrimental and debilitated houses, the highest rates are touched. Here again the opposite results are actuated by the Sun during its transit over the exalted and friendly houses, if speed is slow. The Sun is powerful when in its northernly course i.e., it passes through the first six signs which belong to northern hem isphere. In this state, the natural propensities and attributes of the Sun are quite high. But the Sun when transits through the last six signs, during its journey over southernly hemisphere, it becomes weak and so are its attributes. Solar ingress into the first point of Aries every year is very important day as it gives enough indication what all is going to happen during the year and in what manner. The chart erected on the entry of the Sun at first point of Aries indicates the changes which the Sun is going to cause w hen it steers through the year. The co n fig u ratio n of heavenly bodies in the chart at the time of solar ingress, assum es much greater im portance to presage the year's activities. The results of the solar ingress shown succeedingly are with reference to rising signs, at the entry time of the Sun in the first point of Aries. Each house denotes a solar month Therefore, the result of twelve houses cover one solar year.
Role o f solar ingress in com m ercial activities
265
Solar ingress in the 1st degree of Aries Signs : 1. Aries Ascendant: The political life of the country situated in the eastern parts are described. The eastern states may suffer femine li^e conditions. The southern areas of the country have good crops and enjoy peace. High yield of agricultural produce like grocery items, edible oils etc., register rise in prices. Northern direction have peace and prosperity. Central areas reel under heavy rains but the commodities go cheap with easy availability. The predictable scenario in the different parts of the country serves as an advance indicator for the astute tradesmen to buy and stock the affected items. Such p re se n tim e n ts are o f im m en se v alu e w hen the philanthropists and populace at large, are to get prepared for tackling the adverse and unfavourable situations. 2. Taurus Ascendant: The southern part have rich harvest. The northern area w ill have ju st su fficien t food production. The w estern countries endure through faminish conditions. The eastern parts pass through some political turmoil. The southern part caters to the general needs of the countries. 3. Gemini Ascendant: The perishment of the animals is on the card. The excess rains destroy the agricultural produce in the central part of the country. The heavy rains also play much havoc in the northern and southern directions due to severe floods, land slips and other destructive event as an aftermath of torrential rains. Besides, this ares also encounters some unpleasant happenings. The local disturbances and other hostilities compel the authorities to impose restrictions to tackle the scarce conditions. This part of the country may even face war threats.
266
Vedic astrology in m oney matters
4. Cancer Ascendant : The southern and central parts have comfortable time though prices of some com m odities post rising trends. However, the northern areas are likely to face political disturbances and encounter fervent activities in this field. The seasonal products get affected due to erratic rains and the crop prospects are likely to be plummeted. The wintry products are going to be normal. The eastern parts have comfortable time in any ways. The trade and the industrial activities are brisk and prosperous. 5. Leo being the sign of Ascendant : The southern parts receives good rains which boosts up the crops prospects and usher in an era of plenty. The northern direction also have peaceful environm ents and abundant availability of food stuff and the markets register bearish trends and government impose fewer taxes. In the eastern part, the initial period of the year encounters scarcity of various commodities and the prices show upward trends but the onset of the rainy season changes the scenario from scarcity to plenty and the rising trends of prices get arrested. The cen tral parts exp erien ce com m unal d istu rb a n ces culm inating into sp lit in the ruling political party. The western areas endure bullish trends in copper and brass vessels and other daily use of utensils. Dry fruits, seasonal fruits and vegetables face price rise due to lesser availability. 6. Virgo Ascendant : The eastern part enjoy the atmosphere of com fort and delight though the prices of edible oils post price rise. The dom esticated anim als become cheap. The cen tra l parts undergo troublesome time due to local insurgents. The war lords get liquidated or stripped off their powers which bring certain anxious moments for the people of that area. The
R ole of solar ingress in com m ercial activities
267
southern parts suffer from the contagious diseases.The western part also encounters political disturbances and rulers are unable to control the situation but instead resort to some unethical action causing deep resentm ents am ongst the populace. H ow ever, crops are good and prices of the essential commodities remain under check. 7. Libra Ascendant : When Libra being the sign of ascendant, shortages are experienced in the eastern sector; the politics is going to be in a bad shape and several criminal incidents take place. In the southern part, the people remain, by and large, happy due to easy availability of all commodities at the cheaper rates. Though the people, all over, are instigated against political leaders to create friction in the parties, the situation does not take an ugly turn. However, uneasy calm prevails. W estern and northern sections remain eventless. EXAMPLE: In the year 1997, The Sun enters the first point of Aries sign at 22-51 hrs (I.S.T) on the 13th April 1997 . At this ju ncture, Libra sign was rising over India. The results denoted for this sign are nearly coming true inasmuch as the political disturbances and uncertainty mounted this year. The general public endured uneasiness and some kind of psychosis fear of gloomy political future was getting deep seated in their minds. The criminal incidents were at increase, especially, in the eastern parts while northern area was comparatively calm. 8. Scorpio Ascendant: If Scorpio sign is rising, the eastern direction experiences trying time and struggle for existence. The central area faces food grains shortages due to destruction of standing crops . The northern sector encounters rising m arket trends in
268
Vedic astrolpgy in money m atters
metals and steels. The grain production is also on the lower side and speculatory markets go bullish. The southern parts endures outside interferences and prices of precious metals look up due to u n easy a v a ila b ility of m oney and im provem ent in tax stru cture. The w est direction also experiences food shortages on account of low production but for about nine months. 9. Sagittarius Ascendant : The northern and eastern parts, during the rising of Sagittariu s sign, have com fortable tim e. H ow ever, the excessive rains generate a good amount o f trouble caused by the flo o d s, la n d s lid e s and d is ru p tio n in the com m unication system. Although there are no dearth of green vegetables, the scarce condition in the other food grains are going to be unsurm ountable. The central part comes under the grip of epidemic and general public become jittery. The western and southern areas remain quite and happy. The bearish trends prevail in the markets and things are easily available. 10. Capricorn Ascendant : When Capricorn sign is rising, the northern area suffers in the hands of outside forces and people endure many anxious moments. The other areas by and large, remain fairly cointi u table. There are subdued political activities. The rains rem ain u n certa in m akin g the m ark ets u nstead y. The investors and speculators operate cautiously. 11. Aquarius Ascendant : If the Aquarius sign is rising at the time of the Sun entering into the first point of Aries, the eastern and the central segments, somewhat, experience better time then the other areas where the populace have to brave through poor rainy co n d itio n s and low food p ro d u ctio n . T he
Role o f solar ingress in com m ercial activities
269
unprecedental political disturbances and upheavals create panic amongst the general public. The markets go highly bullish particularly commodities and clothes markets. 12. Pisccs Ascendant :
When the Sun enters the first point of Aries at the time of the rising of Pisces sign, the central parts pass through quite uncomfortable time due to shortages of food grains. The food has to be rushed from the other parts, especially southern areas to meet out the emergent needs of the people of this part. The other directions have average time without any startlin g events. The ra in s are m oderate and ju st sufficient to give normal corps for sustenance. In the case malefic planets are located in the 7th house of the Solar figure, lesser agricultural production is indicative as a result of which speculatory markets hot up and get busy in brisk buying. If benefic planets are placed in the 2nd house or the 1 1 th hotise or the angular house, it sets forth bearish trends, in the markets. Similar trends prevail during any Solar ingress, when lords of these houses are in their own signs and/or aspected by the friendly planets. Adverse effects prevail in the contrary situation. When Solar ingress takes place in sign Gemini and the benefic M oon, Venus, Mercury and Jupiter are situated in Gemini, Virgo and Pisces signs either collectively or severally, it is a precursor to good rains and excellent corps. On the contrary, if m alefic planets, such as Mars, Saturn or Rahu together or individually occupy these sign, viz., Gemini or Virgo (signs of M ercury), it brings about delays, troubled times, low crop's yield, scanty rains etc. These adverse conditions create market spurts and the commodities become highly bullish. R e su lts o f S o la r in g ress in d iffe r e n t z o d ia ca l sig n s : In the preceding parts, the results o£ d ifferent rising
270
Vedic astrology in money matters
signs at the time of Solar ingress in the first point of Aries sign have been described. Now the effects of the Solar ingress i.e., entry of the Sun in the various zodiacal signs round the solar year are been taken up. As we know that the Sun sojourns each sign for one solar month and if that be the situation, each identical month should show analogous results every year. But that never happens as the Sun in the sim ilar month produces different effects and each solar month turns out to be dissimilar. Although, the general and seasonal effects, remain near about the same, many other terrestrial events and matters come about a lot different. These dissimilarities of the events occurring during the same tim e in the corresponding month in different years are mainly due to the celestial phenomena. The manifestations of the results are compatible with the nature of the sign ( for general effect), the ruling nakshatra, tithi, karna, the week's day etc., at the time of solar ingress. These components give different shades to the events to occur during the month as except the sign,the other heavenly factors do not remain alike fo r the co rre sp o n d in g m o n th ev ery y ear. W ith th is background, the outcome of the solar ingress in different zodiacal sign is taken up hereafter. 1. Solar ingress in Aries sign : During this period, the m arkets of bullion, m etals, industrial goods, m achinery, iron and steel, coffee, tea, cotton, edible oils, rice, wheat go bullish. If this solar ingress h ap p en s to be on S u n d a y , T u esd ay or S a tu rd a y the bullishness effect are caused on wheat and edible oils. On Monday, the price in Cotton, edible oils rise but food grains go steady and trade and business improve. In the event of Thursday or Friday the food grains remain bearish but stock shares of textile get firmed up and set for bullishness. If the Solar ingress occurs on Wednesday, peaceful time prevails during the month. It is generally seen that if it rains on the
Role of solar ingress in com m ercial activities
271
Solar ingress day, the prices of commodities go bullish. If ingress takes place on Nanda tithies (lunar days) it produces less rains during the rainy season. If in Bhndrn tithies, general public get disturbed. If it is in }nya tithies, it creates some kind of epidemic. In the event of Ritkn tithies, it brings sufferings to the animals. If the ingress takes place in the Pum a tithies, the agricultural production is good and general happiness prevails amongst the people. 2. Solar ingress in Taurus sign :
When the Sun enters the Taurus sign, the prices of gold, food grains, textile, silk, stock shares of sugar mill, pearls, glassware, copper, perfumeries etc., rise while silver and cotton remain bearish. If the Solar ingress takes place in the malefic week days like Saturday, Sunday or Tuesday, the cotton, sugar, pulses, wheat, groceries items and edible oils markets go bullish due to shortages caused by fem inish conditions. Sun's entry in this sign of on Monday, food grains and sugar prices show up. If it takes place on Wednesday, Thursday or Friday the edible oils and sugar markets become bullish while the the prices of the food grains slump. At time of Solar ingress in the Taurus sign, if the Sun and the Moon are placed opposite to each other, stocking of food grains and cotton for two months and selling it there after yields exuberant profits. In the event of luminaries being conjunct at this juncture, it generates happy time for the public, at large, as the trade and business have the flourishing period. The cotton and textile shares however, get depressed in the first fortnight and then show up later on. 3. Solar ingress in Gemini Sign :
When the Sun enters the Gemini sign, it sets bearish trends in the wheat, food stuff, silk, cotton yarns, sugar,
272
Vedic astrology in m oney matters
c otton, copper, silver, vegetable etc. If the ingress takes place1 on Tuesday, Saturday or Sunday, it causes fire accidents, sufferings due to disease and general rise in the food prices. The common men indulge in unscrupulous acts of evil design. When the solar ingress falls on Wednesday, general happiness prevails all over. The marine and saltish products show a bit rise but there is drop in the food grains prices. I! the Solar ingress falls on Monday, Thursday or Friday, it registers rise in the markets of the cotton, yarn, jute, silk threads.The industries pass through flourishing time. The stock shares of textile firms post higher value. If the Sun and the Moon are positioned opposite to each other (i.e. the M oon being in the Sagittarius sign ), the speculatory buying in items like edible oils, linseed, caster seeds, food grains becomes highly profitable, should these items are sold off in the fourth month thereafter. Automobile business is also profitable. However, if the Sun is untier an evil aspects m ainly of Saturn, Uranus, Neptune at this juncture, the stated effects do not fructify. Should the Sun receives the benefic aspects from Mars or Jupiter, the above results are doubtlessly to come about. 4. Solar ingress in Cancer sign :
During this period, the prices of milk and milk products, silver, glassware, m arine products, local edible oils, go b e a rish . The sto ck sh ares of p e tro leu m p ro d u cts are depressed. If the entry time falls on Saturday, Sunday or Tuesday, it results in failure of rains but gusty and strong winds play havoc in some places but the northern parts face' destruction due to heavy cyclones and tornadoes. Besides, certain diseases may spread in the shape of epidemics and food products also get plummeted. Essential comm odities like wheat, rice, edible oils, sugar, juiced items go bullish The Solar ingress on Thursday, though sets in scanty rains,

273
speedy winds likely to up root trees and houses in rural areas, sugar becomes bullish. If it takes place on Monday, Wednesday or Friday, the rains are norm al and com m odities are easily available. During this period bullions go bearish and any forward buying yields good profits, if sold out over the next month. If this happens to be on full moon day, trading in food grains is also profitable. If Ritka tithies are prevailing during the so lar in g re s s ,it c re a te s stro n g b u llish tren d s in the commodities markets. If the Moon happens to fall in the 4th, the 8 th or the 12th signs (which are watery signs) from the Cancer sign (sign of the Moon which is watery planet), there is going to be a very favourable rainy season throughout the country. 5. Solar ingress in Leo sign :
When the Sun enters in the Leo Sign, the prices of gold jew ellery , cotton , su gar, red coloured a rticles, pearls, bullions, herbal plants, rice, oils, caster seeds, register rising trends.If it takes place on Tuesday or Saturday, it produces excessive rains in the eastern parts, the western areas suffer from disease. It also effects the winter crops. The prices of wheat, sugar, oils and cotton rise so are the coarse grains. Farmers face difficult time. If the solar ingress occurs on Thursday, though the prices of butter slump, the other markets of the edible oils go bullish due to destruction of crops following heavy rains. If it takes place on Wednesday, Monday or Friday the crops of pulses are good and hence their prices slump. However, it sets in disease affecting many people at the same time. If the Sun and the Moon are positioned opposite to each other at the time of solar ingress in the Sign Leo (the Moon in Aquarius), the prices of food grains shoots up after four

to liv e m onths. T h erefo re, fo rw a rd bu yings in these commodities are quite profitable. (t. Solar ingress in Virgo sign : In this situation, the prices of silver, cotton, copper, electrical goods, stock shares go bearish. If it takes place on Sunday, Saturday, Tuesday, it produces less rains affecting the crop prospects. It also generates epidemical conditions and some serious fire incidents. The political activities disturb the general public. There are some interparty rifts threating u nstab ility. If it happens to fall on M onday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday there exists plenty of food grains and other commodities. The political situation in the western part gets disturbed. Some form of Naval action also takes place. If the Sun and the Moon are placed opposite to each other at the time of solar ingress the prices of wheat, gram, rice etc., rise after the ingress and hence speculatory buying w ill be quite profitable. 7. Solar ingress in Libra Sign :
When Solar ingress occurs in this sign, cotton, rice, w heat, black pepper, jute item s, silk, glassw are, brass, copper, gold, silver markets go bearish. If the entry of the Sun takes place on Sunday or Tuesday, it causes destructions. The price of gold and food grains rise and there is shortage of milk and milk products. If it occurs on Saturday, the royal and opulent classes suffer in som e form or the other. Tuesday's ingress also shows the same effects. If it takes place* on Wednesday, it brings forth good time and crops of coarse grains do well and their prices go steady. If it happens to be Thursday, the prices of food grains, oil rise while the markets of other commodities remain steady. Friday's entry of the Sun in this Sign, lowers the prices of grains and cotton while

275
entry on Saturday suggests stocking of edible oils, margarine (ghee), mustard and food grains for better profits later on . It is said that if it rains on the day of ingress, the trading in pulses, oils and oil seeds is good as their prices are likely to rise after 4th solar month. If luminaries are placed opposite to each other at that time, the stocking of these items yields copious profits in the very next month or so. 8. Solar ingress in Scorpio Sign :
The solar ingress in this sign denotes fall in the prices of woolen garments, brasswares, copper, silver and cotton. But the prices of gold, tea, coffee, rubber items, tin , leather, watches go bullish, especially when the Sun acquires the degrees between 12 and 21 in this sign. If ingress takes place on Sunday although grains markets becomes firm, the prices of white articles, cotton, silver,cloth, rice, etc. go bullish later on. If it occurs on Tuesday or Saturday the markets of grains, clarified butter (Ghee), sugar, edible oils look up in the 3rd month. If it takes place on Monday, common persons remain happy. There is going to be bullish tone in the grain markets in the first 15 days. A ttain m en t of peace or am icable settlement at this time is good and lasting. If ingress occurs on Wednesday, it delivers moderate bullish trends in grains, ghee, coconuts, betelnuts, black pepper. For solar ingress occuring on Thursday or Friday the m arkets of cotton clothes, yarn, oils and oil seeds remain steady, while the prices of sugar and raw sugar (jagree) become bearish. If the Sun and the Moon being in opposition (Moon placed in Taurus) at this day, stocking of food grains in this month and selling it off in the next month yields good profits. 9. Solar ingress in Sagittarius sign :
Entry of the Sun in this sign produces bearishness in

Ilit' markets of oils, oilseeds, cotton, tin, rubber, silver, gram jute, tobacco, luxury goods, stock shares, electrical items and equipments, provided Mercury is not associated with the Sun, otherwise, these markets rem ain steady during the period. If the solar ingress day happens to be Sunday, Tuesday or Saturday, the items stated earlier may go bullish to some extent. But food grains production is to be of a high order. It also creates agitation against the ruling party or the ruler for promulgating unjust laws in defiance of democratic norms. These actions even lead to political upheavals. Should the ingress be on Monday, it brings exceedingly cold weather and frosty winds, untimely rains also take place. The general public suffers due to extreme cold which also affects the crop's yields. These effects also hold good for Sunday being the ingress day. The prices of cotton look up to a great measure. If this being Wednesday, Thursday or Friday, it creates bearish tone in the markets of cotton and food grains due to good production. The ingress on Friday also brings comfortable time for the fresh populace. Should the Sun and the Moon are positioned opposite to each other on this day, the trading in food grains and eatables is profitable as their prices are likely to go up after 4 months. According to some, the 2nd month yields profit and the 3rd month possibly posts losses. C otton, yarn, clarified butter (Ghee) are likely to yield profit upto 5 months. 10. Solar ingress in Capricorn sign :
The entry of the Sun in C ap ricorn sign produces b u llish n ess in co al, cem ent, co p p er, iron, ju te , w ool, leatherw are, agriculture appliances, m arbles, jew ellery, herbal plants, edible oils, rice, honey. If it takes place on Sunday, it ferments agitational confrontation between the government and the public. It will also denote the rise in the

prices of cotton, Ghee (clarified butter), red coloured items. This position of ingress indicates long range bullish tones in the commodities markets of which the rates on the 1 0 th day are going to be the bottom most in the period of rising trends. Besides Sunday, if the entry of the Sun happens to be on any other inauspicious day viz., Tuesday or Saturday, the country is raged in dirty p olitics and consequent of w hich the bullions, metal and other raw material markets rise abruptly. If it is Monday, the markets of grams, millets and pulses shoot up. If ingress occurs on Tuesday the grains, the sugar m ark ets e tc ., re m a in b u llish . H o w ev er, the sam e commodities become cheap, if the entry of the Sun is on Wednesday but some disease and war like conditions are likely to develop during this period. Thursday's ingress slides down the prices of cotton with the early indications of good crop conditions. The Friday's entry of The Sun in this sign denotes high yields in the agriculture products, with the results, the commodities and cotton prices slump. If the Sun and the Moon are in opposition at the time of ingress the stocking of clothes, oils, oilseeds, betelnuts and yarn yields good profits in the 5th month. 11. Solar ingress in Aquarius sign :
When the ingress takes place in this sign, all the items indicated in the case of Capricorn also show rising trends in this sign except food grains. Besides, electronics goods, telecom m u nication m aterial, public tran sport system s, navigational material, automobiles, government securities, aluminum companys' share rise during this period. If the ingress takes place on Sunday, the rulers get tempted to wage a war. Sunday and other malefic days like Tuesday and S a tu rd a y s are n o t fa v o u ra b le fo r the tra d e rs and entrepreneurs and political scenario is also unfavourable. The government promulgate stiff laws making it difficult for

limit* to function smoothly. If it takes place on Monday, the prices of cotton, sugar, oils go up for two months and then set a downward trend to afford an opportunity to make profits. Wednesday's ingress yields favourable time for the trading and industrial activities, grains go cheaper and living standard im proves though m arginally. The ingress on Thursday, creates rise in the coarse grains. Stocking of sugar and selling in the third month is beneficial. In Friday's ingress, the markets of cotton oils, oilseeds becomes bearish, for the entire solar month. Should the luminaries are positioned opposite to each other, holding up the stocks of sugar, oils, Ghee (clarified butter) and grains during the month and its disposal in the 5th m onth generates sumptuous profits. 12. Solar'ingress in Pisces sign :
W hen the Solar ingress is caused in this sign, the markets of tin, rubber, silver, zinc, gram, jute, copper, luxury goods, tea, cotton, oils, become bearish. If the ingress takes place on Sunday Ghee (clarified bu tter), milk and milk products and oil show the rising tone. Conflicts between foreign powers generate much heat during this period. The oppositions maneuver a plot to over through the existing seat of power. The entry of Sun on Tuesday boosts up gold prices and loss of marine products. The ingress on Saturday creates quarrel and conflicts. M ultinational companies try to sw eep away the business of the local trade houses. Wednesday's ingress produces bearish trends in eatables and food grains. The general public pass through uneasy time due to internal quarrels and bickerings. Epidemic conditions effect large numbers of people. The Thursday's ingress in this sign denotes bearish trends in all markets. However, sufferings on account of disease are on the card. The entry of the Sun in this sign on Friday brings down the prices to

the lower levels mainly in the markets of cotton, onions, white cloth, yarn, jute, and white coloured items like silver, milk etc. If during the ingress, the Moon is positioned opposite to the Sun i.e., in Virgo sign, buying of groceries items, and disposing it off in the succeeding month or in the third month generates a good am ount of profit. A ccording to some, stocking of food grains in this month yields profit in the subsequent four months. Note : Relationship between solar ingress and the behaviour of d ifferen t com m odities, m arkets and other m undane matters have been epitomised after perusal of the available heuristic materials and placed,before the esteemed readers. It is rather not feasible to ambilate other allied and related presaged materials over here due to space constraints and also to save the readers from the drudgery of replicating the identical results of solar ingress with other celestial links such as karnas (half lunar day), lunar month etc. Besides, the effects of solar with respect to nakshatras (lunar mansion), have also been restrained over here for the similar reasons as the proceedings descriptions are deemed adequate to provide basic knowledge to the dinkum readers and help them to test and carry further researches not only to establish the efficacy of these concepts but also to bring new and contemporary products, items materials etc., in the ambit of the stated astrological phenomena. While dwelling on the subject, some snippets widely acclaimed right from the ancient times are being reproduced succeeciingly. i)

When the first solar ingress of the year (The Sun entering in 1st degree if Aries sign) falls on Saturday, the second solar ingress takes place on Sunday and the third one occurs on Tuesday (three successive solar ingress of malefic planets) it produces combination of gravious destruction and extermination which plays havoc with the country and its people. It also procreates ruinous situations for live stocks, agricultural produce, industrial productions to a greater degree. The country growth comes to grinding halt.
iii)

food grains markets go bearish. If it is the 4th or the 5th nakshatra, the grains markets show bullish tone. Should it be the 6 th nakshatra, it creates feminish conditions and spurt in the food grains market. If the sign in which the Moon is located happens to be the seventh sign from the sign of solar ingress, the prices of all the commodities show marked rise and it also creates war like conditions. The food grains markets remain bullish for two months, during the solar ingress in Aries, Taurus, Aquarius and Pisces signs; for three months, in Leo sign; for one month, in Gemini sign. Solar ingress in the Cancer and Capricorn signs with the Moon being in the seventh sign therefrom, the bullishness in food grains market prevails for six months.
C IIA PTER -12 RELEVANCE OF SA R V A T O B H A D R A CH A KRA
The astrological seers have exclaimed the effectiveness of Sarvatobhadra chakra (SVB) in their own rights.Even in p resen t tim e, m any renow ned a stro lo g ers have been gainfully utilising the nicety of this chakra with astounding results.The versatility and wide application of this compact system devised by our great sages have never been in doubt.The contemporary exponents of this divine service,the practitioners and students of astrology are craving to learn finesses and artfulness of this chakra but there are a very few who could master it, so to sav. On account of its proven efficacy, great reliance is placed on this predictive tool of astrology. The most amazing part of this wonderful format is that the important components (limbs) of almanac (Panchanga) i.e.Asterism s (N akshatras), zodiacal signs (R ash i), C onsonants (A ksh aras), V ow els (Swam), Lunar days (Tithies) etc., have been condensed with a view to provide instant but wide range of applications. The results are computed through the interactions with the transiting planets. Relevance of different speeds and motion brings subtility to the systems. In practice, it is not so simple because it involves too many permutations and combinations and also close scrutiny of many celestial forces acting at the same time. Besides,
Relevance of Sarvatrobhadra Chakra
283
meticulous m onitoring of the movements of the planets causing their influences at the sensitive areas of the chakra is also required in a great deal. These complexities have, as a matter of fact, deterred many aspirants of astrology to hold com m and over this divine m arv el.Sin ce SVB chakra is considered to be exceedingly useful to delineate effective results and provide ample clues in the mundane affairs and behaviour of markets by super imposing the effects of all the heavenly forces, it was thought appropriate to include the same in this text, with what ever research material the writer could lay his hands on. However, it certainly requires deep study of the intricacies for a detailed and meaningfxil prognostication of events. It still has a great scope to probe further into the subtility and gray areas of the chakra to unfold many unexploited effects. This helps making the system far more sustainable and with wider applications. ’At present, it is m erely confined to a few who have, to som e extent mastered part of its clues but are keeping it as a guarded secret. The tendency of the old practitioners of this divine science is to make the astrology look mystic subject and enigmatic thing, even today, and it made unapproachable by many. Presently Sarvatobhadra chakra is m ainly applied on lunation and other mundane charts to delineate worldly affairs and also to presage the behaviour of the commodities and market trends including stock shares, by those who have acquired some indepth knowledge of the intricate system of the chakra. Some astute astrologers also apply this on native horoscope with advantage. In present days, the political atmosphere of the country is heavily charged and SVB Chart is also extensively used to answer queries raised by the crafty politicians who indulge in various game plans ostensibly, to bring stability in the country. In fact, there are many useful applications and all of them are not explored and some of
Vedic astrology in m oney matters
them arc applied in different forms. Barring, some references which are found in the ancient scriptures such as M ansagari etc., no exhaustive works on this illustrious subject are available. However, it is noticed that the formulation of this chakras is the culminations of various sutras (aphorisms) and treatises expounded by the learned astrologers of the present era. For example, axioms relating to transits of the planets over nakshatras, vedha (obstruction) etc., of Plialdipika of Vaidyanathan have been astutely integrated in the system. Similarly, favorable and unfavorable times which are generally adjudged through luni-solar system (on the basis of Panchanga) have also been infused in the scheme of things. Many ancient exponents of this science have ably used 'Akshara' (consonants) and 'Swara' (vowels) for predicting major events. These components also form part of the format. As stated earlier, w ith the help of SVB Chart, it is convenient to decipher the auspicious and inauspicious e v e n ts in re s p e c t of any p e rso n , item , co m m o d ity , organization, firm, town, country or nation. The rudimentary steps are as follows : Pick up the first alphabet of a person, country or establish m en t and locate the corresp ond ing nakshatra. However, if necessary birth details of a person or date of formation or registration of organisation is available, the appropriate birth nakshatra could be ascertained therefrom. A table depicting zodiacal degrees of the signs, nakshatras and corresponding alphabet is available in any Panchanga. To pick up right nakshatra, use the longitudinal degrees of the Moon.

Mquares. On the top left corner write North-West and moving clockw ise therefrom w rite N orth- East, East-South and South-West in the rest of the three corners. The four sides of I he chart represents North,East,South and West. The squares are numbered from 1 to 81. Placement of n a k s h a tr a s (constellations) : Leaving four com er squares, remaining seven squares on each side are to be filled with nakshatras commencing with Krittika nakshatra from top left and run through to fill the rest of the squares with remaining nakshatras in seriatim including A bhijita nakshatra which is to be positioned in between Uttar Ashada and Sharava. Abhijita nakshatra takes an arc of 4 Deg. 13 Min. and 20 sec. of Capricorn sign in the Zodiac. Its exact position is from 6 Deg. 40 Sec. to 10 Deg. 53 Min. and 20 Sec. in this sign and spreading over to nakshatras as referred above. Signs representation: The Squares numbered from 58 to 60, 62 to 64, 66 to 68 and 70 to 72 are assigned to the twelve signs with Taurus sign taking position in the square numbered at 58 and the rest of the numbers in signs are located by moving spirally in clockwise fashion converging towards the core of the chart. It ends with Aries sign which gets situated in square numbering 72. The next set is of Luni-Solar factor to be super imposed on the Chart. Placement of tith ies (Lunar days) : Each of the five squares at the centre of the chakra i.e.,74, 76, 78, 80 and 81 (at the core) are allotted three Tithies, starting with the 1st tithi (Pratipada) in square 74 and the 2nd tithi in square 76. All the 15 tithies of the one half of lunar month ure accordingly placed in that cyclic orders to complete the course. In the scheme of things, the 5th tithi, the 10th tithi

In other words, it is moving at an accelerated pace. In the same manner if some planet overstays in a sign than its prescribed time, that planet is stated to be moving in a slower speed. The daily maximum and Normal/Mean speed of the planets other than the Sun and the Moon move at a variable speeds. Rahu and Ketu being the nodal points and not physical bodies, maintain a steady speed. The normal or mean speed, the speed before acceleration, maximum speed etc., have been illustrated in a table appended below : TA BLE - 36

Monitoring variable motions of different planets is very important. This is the main tool applied in the interpretation of the SVB Chakras.

Vedic astrology in m oney m atters
Rising, Setting, Speed and M otion (as described in ancient treatises) When a planet moves out of the solar orb (conjunction of the sun) it is said to be' rising . W hen it goes over to the 2nd house from the Sun's position, it is in an accelerated speed. Its position in the third house, it acquires its normal speed. Its speed in the 4th house is considered as slow. The moment a planet moves to 5th and 6 th positions from the Sun, it goes into retrogression at a normal pace. In the 7th and 8 th house, it retrogrades at a fast speed. In the 9th house, the planet reverts to a low speed and picks up direct motion and upto 10th house, it regains normal pace. Again getting into 11th and 12th places of the Sun, the planet picks up accelerated speed before it again goes into the solar orb. This entry with or conjunction w ith the Sun is called setting position of the planet. However, in the ancient classical scriptures there is no mention of the relative speed of the planet while it remains in conjunction or in the orb of the Sun. But it is said that when a planet is in the 12th or the 2nd signs of the Sun, it acquires much accelerated pace than the planet staying in the middle of these two signs(conjunct position) though that planet is also deemed to be in accelerated speed. However, the contention of some of the learned astrologers is that in the absence of any indication of speed of the planet while in conjunction, it should be treated as a normal speed. This view point only relates to Mars, Jupiter and Saturn because in the treaties on Sarvatobhadra, it is mentioned that when M ercury and Venus are posited in the 12th and the 2nd position to the Sun, they move at an accelerated speed and in retrograde motion. And when in the 11th and 3rd places they are in normal speed. However, this principle does not hold water as Mercury never moVes out of the Sun’s influence beyond 28 degrees and Venus remains within 48 degrees of
293

the Sun . Therefore, the entire preceding description is of general nature and is confined to Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. R etrogression: Astronomically, all the planets other than luminaries during their course of movements get into reverse motion (retrograde). The shadowy planets Rahu and Ketu always move in retrogression. Generally, Mercury and Venus which are in the close proximity of the Sun, go into retrogression when they transit the 2nd sign from the position of the Sun. But the moment these planets get into the 12nd sign from the Sun's location, they are known to be on an accelerated motion. The position of these two planets in the 11th sign, reverts them the normal speed as indicated in the Table. Both Venus and Mercury as stated above, remain in the close quarters of the Sun. As regards other planets,the general rules are the moment they get into the 5th signs away from the Sun, they acquire retrogression, and once their displacement in respect to the Sun goes beyond 9th sign, they turn into direct motion. Generally, Mars remains in retrograde state for 76days and direct for 705 days. Similar details for the planets involved in a fluctuatry motion have been tabulated hereafter. TA BLE - 37

Aspects (Vedha) : A planet when transits over a nakshatra casts two types of aspects. One is frontal aspect and another is diagonal aspect, i.e., on the either side of the planets position. The diagonal or cross aspects, as classified, are (i) Right Hand Side (RHS) Aspect and (ii) Left Hand Side (LHS) Aspect. This concept can easily be understood form the figure illustrated here after.

Explanatory Note : Let us suppose Saturn planet transits Revati nakshatra on a particular day. The frontal aspects will fall across the Revati nakshatra viz., Uttar Phalguni while its diagonal aspect will fall on M rigashira nakshatra (LHS aspect) and M oola nakshatra (RHS aspect). One sided aspect only : The Sun, the Moon, Rahu and Ketu are empowered to cast only one sided aspects (vedha). The reason being that both the Sun and the Moon always have direct motion while Rahu and Ketu constantly move in retrograde fashion. Further, these planets have no variation in their speed, Therefore, as per the basic principle of this system, they cause vedha (aspect) only in one direction. The Sun and the Moon cause vedha on the right hand side only. With this fixed direction and without having to give any weightage for speed etc., it is much simpler to discern the effects of their Vedhas. M ultisided aspects : The remaining five planets viz., Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn are made to alter their aspects depending upon the speed and type of motion acquired by them at the time of analyzing their effects. All of them are capable to heave their aspects in all the three directions depending upon the status with regard to speed and motion. If these planets have normal speed, they cause straight aspect i.e., across their positions. But when they acquire accelerated speed, the aspect (vedha) falls on the Left Hand Side from their position. However, the moment, these planets get in retrograde motion, the aspect changes over to the Right Hand Side of their placements.

Impact of Aspects ( Vedhas) : The frontal or straight aspect only cause impact on the niikshntrn placed at d irectly op posite p o sition i.e., the n aksh atra at th e o th e r extrem e end. In the p rev io u s illustration, it may be noted that Saturn on its transit over Revati nakshatra cast vedha on Uttara Phalguni provided if Saturn had the normal motion. However, the game plan of the diagonal aspects is quite different. The cross aspects (Left hand and Right hand) pierce (penetrate) through all the elem en ts fa llin g on its w ay su ch as sig n s,v o w e ls, co n so n a n ts,titln es,n aksh atras etc. P ick in g up the same illustration, the Left hand side (LHS)Vedha runs through consonants LA (56) A (34) and nakshatra M rigasira (4). While the Right hand side (RHS) Vedha passes through consonant BA (48) and Mopla nakshatra (20). It is essential that the aspectual effects which are very im portant and basic material is to be understood for an accurate interpretation of the SVB chakra. In fine, we can say that LHS and RHS aspects always run through at an angle of 45 degrees starting from the square where the concerned planet transits at that time. It affects all the squares on the flanks but the frontal aspect confines its effects only on the nakshatras placed exactly on the opposite side of the chakra and unaffecting the squares falling on the way. The five com ponents (Pentad) : The diagonal aspects both LHS and RHS run through The (i) Consonants (Akshara) (ii) Vowel (Swara), (iii) Lunar day (Tithi), (iv) the birth nakshatra and (v) The Moon sign (Rashi): These are known as Panchaaka (Pentad) in the same order. Except vowel, the rest four factorals can conveniently be lifted from the birth data. The vowel could be picked up from the set of corresponding consonants as arranged in the

This perhaps on the fact that no name begins with these letters. For the persons who do not possess birth details or horoscope, the method for ascertaining Panchaaka is on the basis of the fam ous nam e a person is ad d ressed . The following steps are taken to select an appropriate consonant, vowel and Tithi. The foregoing table enlists the five basic vow el, 30 consonants and 15 tithies. All these components of Panchaka

itro identified with reference to the first letter of the famous mi me of a person. The rule is that where the first letter h ap p en s to be a co n so n a n t, it is ta k en as it is and corresponding vowel is picked up from the table. But if the first letter stands out to be vowel, the same is ignored and the next letter is looked for and that too comes out to be vowel, we go to the next. In other words, the first consonant falling in the name is adopted as a reference consonant and corresponding vowel and tithi are selected accordingly. [Note: two sets of consonants represent one tithi in seriatim; like Ka and Chha go to 1st tithi; Dda and Dha to 6 th Tithi and so on]. For example the famous name of a person is MANISH the first letter is Ma which is a consonant. The corresponding vowel and tithi come out to be E and Bhadra (12th Tithi) respectively. Suppose the name is ANUJ where the first letter is vowel and that should be ignored and the next letter is N being a consonant and hence adopted. The relevant vowel and tithi work out to be E and Bhadra (7th) respectively. The birth nakshatra and the M oon sign (R ish i) can conveniently be picked up either through longitudinal degrees of the radical Moon of the native or from the first letter of the name from the table which is provided in every Panchanga (Almanac). Please note that for this purpose, the first letter of the name irrespective of consonant or vowel is to be adopted and it may not be mixed up with the set of rules enunciated above. D ifference betw een aspects and vedhas : It has been noticed that the connotations of aspect and vedha (obstruction) have been used in SVB chakra severally or in combination by many writers. To comprehend the basic difference between the two types, the inherent meanings of the word "Aspect" has to be well understood. In general, the
Relevance of Sarvatrobhadra Chakra

iiMptiCt are two types (i) a simple aspect showing the gross effects and (ii) deep or pointed aspect denoting subtle results. In other words, it can be said that the first category of the uNpect is of macro level while the second type is of micro lype. The former caters for the broad presentation and the latter is in a more concentrated form show ing its effect pointedly. The "Macro Aspects" are the one which a planet situated In sign in the celestial sphere casts over the other sign and planets positioned there in, as described in the Jataka shastra (native astrology). But micro aspects are the one which are put to use in the Swara shastra (Breath technique used in the I lorary Astrology) in its subtle form. This aspect is called 'Vedha' and its literal meaning is 'to Pierce' which causes deep penetration. Therfore, it gives micro or subtle effects. The Vedha (to pierce) is widely used in S.V.B chakra or other nimilar types of chakras like Sapt Shlaka etc. The minute differences between the two types of aspects could be easily assimilated with the succeeding illustration. Suppose you are standing before a big building which has many doors, windows etc. Now you are effecting gross aspect over the bu ild in g. But once you focus your sig h t and concentrate on one of the windows of the building, this is said to be vedha or micro aspect. The amount of introspection one can have through deep and subtle aspect, it is not possible to derive the same results from the gross aspect of general nature. N evertheless, the gross or sim ple aspect is equally im portant becau se unless you do not sight the w hole building, how it is possible to concentrate on to its doors and windows or any other minute detail of the building. In the similar fashion, the state of planets should be perceived while delineating their aspectual effects. At first, the simple
(01)
Vedic astrology in m oney m atters
aspects of the planets over the signs etc., which signify all kinds of the earthly materials are to be considered. On the basis of these simple aspects, at first, the results as depicted by the astrological rule are to be assessed. Later on, the minute or subtle effects could be ascertained by applying the rules of vedha or micro aspects as described in the various astrological works. Although detailed results possibly may not be drawn from the simple aspects, still certain general decision could be taken. However, when vedha is caused and simple aspect is not there, it becomes difficult to know the basic linkage and as such n oth ing is discernable. This therefore, proves a point that the relationship between Aspect and vedha is like body and soul. Just as soul even bein g subtle is su bject to the existen ce of a body and sim ilarly, the vedha is also subservient to Aspects. Further, in the absence of body, soul has no entity and in the same fashion in the absence of simple aspect, vedha has no meaning and become inaffective and incapable of producing good or bad results. This phenom ena holds good in the case of illu stra tio n cited previously inasm uch as w ith o u t the existence of a building doors and windows are inperceivable. D ecipherm ent of SV B chakra : The elucidation of SVB chart is an intricate matter. Not much of exploratory works have been carried out in this field. The standard classical scriptures do not bear exhaustive m aterials or explanations. Therefore, it is an arduous task to translate the intended meanings of the most com plexed Jigsaw puzzle. At the face of it, the SVB figure looks to be sim ple and easy to decipher but in real effect, it is very d iffic u lt to com pute the resu lts of variou s p la n eta ry combinations with respect to celestial components. This is not less tideous than playing the game of Chess over which a very few can acquire mastery. The original format of the SVB chakra is most abtuse one and very hard to understand.

I Inwever, a simple form of this chakra has been adopted to nerve the limited purpose of this book. We intend to restrict the details only to the commercial tingle. In this scheme of things, the connotation of Aspect used in SVB chakra stands to mean vedha (the obstruction or piercing effect) and not simple meaning of aspects as used In the astrological writings. In order to cater to our restricted purpose in the format of SVB chart displayed in this chapter, the planetary aspects or vedhas over nakshatra, tithies and signs etc., are only Adopted. Further, the phenomena of two categories of speeds I.e., normal and accelerated have been accounted for Beside, lull cognizance of retrograde motion has been taken Motion theory (direct and retrograde) plays dominant role in the whole gamut. The ingredients essentially provide immense help pin pointing the fluctuations in the markets of those items which are signified by the celestial bodies involved In vedhas.

IMPACT OF PLANETS' R E T R O G R E S SIO N S AND HELIACAL SETTINGS/RISINGS Concept of Retrogression:If we deeply observe the movem ents of the planets constantly, we discover that they scrupulously follow a set pattern. First they are seen moving Eastwards with reference to fixed stars,This state of the planets is reckoned as "Direct course". After a lapse of some period,the planets start slowing dow n and then becom e stand still. This is said to be "Stationary" position. After a while the planets appear to move in a contrary direction or W estwards.This course is know n as "R etro g rad e m o tio n ". A gain they appear to become stationary and after a few days, the planets again begin to move Eastwards. These apparent movements of the planets are shown in a line motion as under :
Figure 4 :

W estwards; E
Eastwards; D -> Direct course;
S Stationary; R -> Retrograde. Thick portions denot accelerated motion. Thin parts denote slower speed.
Retrogressions and heliacal settings/risings
327
The Sun and the M oon astronom ically are not the pl.mets and as such they do not retrograde. Mercury and Venus are known as inferior planets because they are located between the Sun and the Earth. While the Mars, Jupiter, Saturn are superior planets as they are farther from the Sun 1 1i.i n the Earth. The planets actually do not move in the reverse direction ,md they always have direct motion. The planetary course in the zodiac are traced through the projections as observed I mm the Earth. Since the Earth also revolves in its own orbit, I lie planets appear to be receding due to relative motion. The actual reason of the apparent retrogression is, indeed, different for inferiors and superiors planets. When I In1 inferior planets are traversing the inferior portion i.e., between the Sun and the Earth, their heliocentric (from the Sun ) eastward motion becomes, as seen from the Earth, W estw ards or re tro g ra d e. By the p a ra lla x (a p p a re n t d isp la ce m e n t of the o b je c t cau sed by the ch a n g e of observation point) of the Earth's motion in the same direction this apparent retrogression is gradually diminished because the motion of the inferior planets is more rapid than that of the Earth. The retrogression of superior planets is due to the parallax of the Earth's motion in the same direction with the Earth positioned between the Sun and the superior planets Iin I with slower motion in their own orbits or less rapid than i >1 the Earth. This is the stage of opposition when the superior planet is nearest to the Earth in their cyclic course. R etrogression and accelera tio n are only ap p arent phenomena and it, actually, does not happen as speed of Ilie planets remain the same. The planets move in different concentric circles (epicycle - sm all circle rolling on the circum ference of the greater circle). W ith near circle, it up pears to move at a faster pace and adopt relative motion
Vedic astrology in m oney m atters
wlit'ii il is seemingly acquiring backward motion though l lici t' is no change in the rate of motion during the movement round the Earth. Therefore, retrogression is an illusory perception w hich does not happen. The fact how ever, remains, when two objects moving at relative speeds or cross each other, a point of contact is formed and the influence at this juncture is more pronounced and last longer than in the normal course. An Ephemeris carries details relating to the motion of the planets shown in the form of longitudinal distance. These daily motions are at variance which are slow, average and rapid (accelerated). If motion of a planet is seen receding, that planet is said to be in retrogression. As stated earlier, a planet gets into state of retrogression during conjunction period w hich is know n as synodic periods. Superior planets are the slow moving planets which remain conjunct for a longer period as it takes quite some time to move out of the orbital distance. Inferior planets have short synodic periods than the superior ones. The apparent stationary period is also longer for superior planets, as due to slow motion, it takes little longer time in changing the course. The follow ing table elucidates these contentions.

Retrogressions and heliacal settings/risings
329
Сo i k opt of the Heliacal setting and risings of planets The connotation of heliacal settings and risings of the i rli slial objects relates to their disappearance in the vicinity ■■I Ilie Sun and their return to the visibility respectively. The I n ms are precisely the same as are employed to denote their fin in g and setting above and below the horizon. In other vvni ds, heliacal setting of a planet occurs when it is overtaken hv the Sun and becomes hidden by its rays. And heliacal fin in g is that when the planet has been hidden by the Sun i ny. and it once again becomes visible. The planets Mars, Jupiter, Saturn which have a slower motion than the Sun and so are overtaken by the Sun, their lir.I appearance before getting into the setting state, is in the West, after the Sunset. They again emerge in to visibility state In the East^ before the Sunrise. The planets which have nwitter m otion than the Sun (M ercury and V enus), the reverse will be the phenomenon; that is, they disappear in Ihi! East and reappear in the West. When the planets of the i iipid motion after rising move ahead of the Sun, they become i elrograde and again go into setting and this time in the West и-, they come closer to the Sun. W hen the Sun overtakes the planet in its state of retrogression, it rises again but in the I'.istern direction. The conceptual reasons behind these phenomenon are ili.iwn from Surya Sidhanta. In order to comprehend this in nubtility, chapter IX of this great vedic Astronomical treatise may be referred. The intricate details have deliberately been nvoided over here as the same are beyond the scope of the book.

conjunction. The phenomenon of planets occurs when they titlain certain longitudinal distance from the Sun. As stated previously, the Mercury and the Venus set and rise in both the directions - the West (west h orizon) and in the East (easl horizon). The major planets viz., Mars, Jupiter and Saturn always set in the West and rise in the East. The longitudinal distance from the Sun have been shown in the tabular form as under: ( the positions shown are at the equinoxical month of the year). TABLE : 42

Im pact o f th ese p lan etary states and m o tio n s over the m arket activ ities : A p la n e t d e liv e rs d iv e rse re s u lts w h en th ese phenomenon taking place in the different zodiacal signs. The impacts of each planet over the market behaviour in this context, are discussed with greater details in the subsequent parts. I n fe rio r P la n e ts : Mercury and Venus are located between the Sun and the Earth. They are known as inferior planets. Both these planets rem ain in the periphery of the Sun in the Solar system . M ercury never parts beyond the lo n g itu d in al distance of 28 degrees while maximum stretch of Venus is upto 48 degrees. The aspectual position between the Sun and the Mercury at best is in a conjunction besides one odd minor aspect of insignificant nature. Mercury while moving in the celestial hemisphere comes between the Earth and the Sun, the apparent conjunction thus form ed is called inferior conjunction. Mercury when gets aligned with the Earth and the Sun, keeping the Sun in the middle, this conjunction of Mercury and the Sun is known as Superior conjunction. The position of Mercury in the vicinity of the Sun has assumed great importance. Firstly, it comes in contact with the Sun too often and as a result of which it changes its speed at number of times during its course. Secondly, the proximity of the Sun and frequently going ahead and back of the Sun due to variation in the speed (though the normal pace of Mercury is near about the same as that of the Sun), Mercury gets into setting and rising positions in a quick succession. Thirdly, Mercury acquires retrograde and direct motioniof short spans but in greater numbers for the same reasons. Lucid explanation to these phenomena have been given in the early part of this chapter.

M ERC U R Y: Mercury apart from many other traits also signifies business and commercial activities. Therefore, the transit of Ihis planet assumes greater credibility in the commercial in, liters. Combining with Venus which controls the pricing pattern of the m arkets, all the com m ercial op eratio n s liu luding speculatory activities fall in the ambit of these two planets. The movements of trio, the Sun, Mercury and the Venus indicate the monthly market trends. Mercury also governs the intellectual and the mental 1 1 ,мне of mind of the human beings and if this planet is luli.irmoniously positioned in the natal horoscope, that Individual should not venture in the speculatory and high i Ink commercial activities as he could never be able to read market's behaviours and his competitors correctly. Mercury is fast moving planet and therefore, it causes nlmrt term effects while remaining in different state of motion hie retrograde,stationary and direct. When Mercury sojourns any malefic or detrimental houses (house opposite to the dif'.ns ruled by a planet are called detrimental house w.r.t. that planet. In the case of Mercury the houses represented by, Sagittarius and Pisces signs are detrimental houses). Conversely, Mercury while remaining in the direct state ami in normal speech if transits benefic, friendly, own or fxalted house, sets bearish trends. But in the same house, if Mercury is set in an accelerated motion, the fall in the market pi u i's is rather severe. Mercury's passage through the malefic houses in a swift motion, produces rapid rise in the markets. At cording to some learned astrologers, M ercury's passage through signs and Nakshatras is in the Northern Hemisphere (l 1Пnray ana) generates bearish trends while being in the Southern orbits (Dakshinayana), it sets bullish tone due to poor availability against the higher demands.

I I f octs of setting and rising states of Mercury : Unlike superior planets which set or rise only in one direction because of distance and slower speeds from the Su n , the se ttin g and risin g of M ercu ry are from two directions: W est and East. This concept has been fully explained in the earlier part of the chapter. In the normal course of setting and rising, M ercury tends to be highly volatile in these states and generates a lot of complications and troubles. If markets are weak at the time of setting, it creates bullish trends in the affected items on its attaining rising position and the prices continue to go up till Mercury remains in the orbal degrees of the Sun. Reverse is the case, w hen the markets are high at the time of setting, they will bearish the moment. Mercury rises or gets out of the Sun's influence. In other words, the trends get reversed with the, change of position from setting to rising or vice - versa. The results are quite different, if we take into account the setting and rising positions form Eastern or Western directions. The general effects are that Mercury while setting and rising in the Eastern direction, it always brings about bullish trends compatible with the element of the sign and relationship of the house it transits. These states of Mercury if occurs from the Western direction, the markets go bearish depending upon the other influences which are being exerted on the planet. As a general rule in respect of stock markets, if Mercury sets in Western direction, share's values initially rise marginally, if Mercury gets conjunct with the Sun, the scrips become bearish thereafter. Similarly, when Mercury sets in Eastern direction, the stock shares rise but bullions fall. After retrogression, if Mercury goes into the setting stage in the Eastern direction, the bullion markets attain buoyancy. But if Mercury happens to rise in the Western direction, the same markets become bearish.

I 11rets of the retrograde motion of Mercury : The retrograde and direct motion of Mercury influence IIn* market according to the status of the sign occupied by it. II 11 comes under favourable aspects of Jupiter, Saturn, Rahu or Uranus, the markets show rising trends. Howeyer, the >od aspects from Venus set bearish tone or bring steadiness in the markets. When both Mercury and Jupiter retrograde .11 the same time and Mercury sets in the Eastern direction, while most of the markets get bearish, silver prices go up markedly. At a point where M ercury and Venus go into retrogression, the markets of food stuffs become bearish and иfter a month or so, on Venus getting into direct m otion , prices go up. If all the three benefic planets viz., Mercury, Venus and Jupiter retrograde near about the same time, the prices of the silver touch the low est ebb. The m om ent Mercury reverts to direct motion, the value of stock markets slides down. Iffects of Setting, Rising and Retrogression of planets in I he zodiacal signs : In Aries Sign : When the Mercury sets in the west in Aries sign, The markets take on to bearish tone. However, setting in the east brings about steadiness in the markets. Should Mercury rises in the east in this sign, inspite of the fact, crops yields remaining low, there are brisk buyings due to easy financial conditions. In the event, Mercury rising in the west, the markets remain at average buying and the food grains prices are dropped and silver, edible oils, linseed markets also show bearish trends. When Mercury retrogrades in this sign, the prices of essen tial and grocery item s, sugar, lin seed , coconu ts, betelnuts show up. On reverting to direct motion, Mercury
336
V e d ic astro lo g y in m oney m atters
sets bearish tone in live stocks, groundnuts and groundnut oil, linseed and stock share markets. In Taurus Sign : When Mercury sets in this sign either in east or in the west directions, it manifests bearishness in the commodities markets. The price of live stocks, however, show rising trends due to destruction of animals in general. While Mercury getting into rising state in east or west, it produces abundant and wide spread rains which help enhancing the food grains production beyond estim ated level. Easy availability of grains make the commodity markets highly bearish. Retrogression of Mercury in Taurus sign causes great fluctuations in the bullions markets especially, in the case of silver. After fluctuatory run, silver settles at a higher value. This motion of Mercury also generates disturbed condition in the country consequent of some political manipulations and unethical moves.This flares up the markets followed by some corrections and ultim ately getting studied at lower levels. When Mercury gets back to direct motion in Venusian sign, it makes the markets of silver, textile, fabrics, cotton, sugar, wheat and stock share bearish. In Gem ini Sign : On Mercury setting in its own sign Gemini in either of the directions, east or w e s t , the general public attempts to revolt against the government for their autocratic way of functioning and ignoring even their genuine demands. The agitational attitude places great stress over the country's economy and besides, the state authorities may not be able to arrest the inflationary trends. When Mercury rises in the sign, it produces scanty rains irrespect of rising being in E astern or W e s te rn d irectio n .T h e d e ficit rain s create faminish condition in the country as agriculture products

got dropped to a great exten t giving rise to essen tial commodity markets. When Mercury retrogrades in this sign, the prices of vegetables, fruits and other fresh production will fall due to good production of these items. Besides, coal, timber and I ire wood markets also reel under bearish tone. However, cotton market remains bullish. Mercury on getting into direct course makes the prices of pulses, grams and livestock to become bearish. In Cancer Sign : Mercury when sets in the east or west in the signs, it foments highly disturbed conditions in that part of the country over which Saturn is transiting. Looting, arson, fire incidents become common. These regions also register deficit rains creating famish conditions. When Mercury rises , east or west, in this sign, though the famish situation continues for about six m onths, it receives good rains. H ow ever, because of less av ailab ility of food stuff, the prices of commodities rule bullish. The bullishness takes higher tone, in case of rising in Eastern direction. The public in general remain happy and comfortable during period. When Mercury moves into retrogression in this sign, it sets highly bearish trends practically in all the markets followed by exceedingly good crops. Trade, commerce and industries have a good patch of time for the development and expansion due to easy financial conditions. Mercury when reverts into direct motion, the prices of silver and w hite coloured item are fu rther dropped. Besides,rice, fabrics, textiles and stock share markets also become bearish. Other markets remain steady except, marine industry which sets bullish tone during this period.

The Sign Leo :
The effects of Mercury setting in Leo sign by and large remain the same that of Cancer sign. Both east or west setting in this sign create extremely poor rain conditions in the country leading to a stage of food shortages and public confronting governm ent for poor m anagem ent for such chaotic conditions. Even on rising of Mercury in any of the direction in this sign, the food shortage persists. Animals face destruction due to less availability of fodder etc. The situ atio n of scarcity entices the traders in speculatory buyings and thereby setting bullish tone in the markets. Here again, the eastward rising triggers bullishness of high order. When Mercury retrogrades in Leo sign, the prices of all type of metals, cotton, fabrics, food grains and stock share markets register bullish trends. Amongst metals, copper and bronze are greatly affected. The price rise in the food stuff is mainly due to poor arrivals in the grain markets. On Mercury getting into direct motion, though the prices in the said items continue to rise, the corrections follow towards the end. In addition to these products, fruits like grapes and coconuts, sandal wood, betelnuts also go bullish. The Virgo Sign : When Mercury sets either in east or west, there are excess and good rains. However, its setting in the east makes the markets run more bullish than the westward setting becau se w hen M ercury sets in the east, it show s less production than estimated by the department of agriculture. The speculatory buyings are at higher rates. M ercury when rises in the west, the commodities and the stock market slump. On rising in the east shows opposite results as these markets become greatly bullish. The retrograde motion of M ercury in Virgo sign, like in

Nol only this, practically all the markets go bearish during IIn -, period. But cotton markets face sharp spurt which also nlip down later on. When Mercury acquires direct motion, lIn' prices of edible oils, sandal wood rise while commodity III-1* grain, pulses etc. get declined.
I ho l ibra Sign : During the setting of Mercury in the east or the west, 111 г in the case of Virgo sign, good rains are expected. East not ting makes the markets bullish while setting in the west, Hu' bullish tendencies are not of the same level. Grocery items Iinv sharp spurt. Other essential commodities remain steady hul Ihey tend to getting bullish. Rising of Mercury on the i*l Iher direction sets the condition for earthquake or short II nnmers. It also foments communal trouble in those parts which are transited by Saturn, in accordance to Kurma chakra. I ho bullion market firms up with bullish tendencies. When the Mercury gets into retrogression in this sign, II, delivers alm ost the sam e results that account for the Venusian signs-Taurus, like general unrest in the country nuking the markets to go bullish but with short corrections i iiused by the quick changes in the political scenario. Bullions m arkets get firm ed and set b u llish tone. The trad ers г»immunity feel uncomfortable. When the Mercury reverts lo Ihe direct course in this sign, the markets of edible oils, linseed, medicines and medical herbs, sugar etc., rule high during this point of tim e. The stock share m arkets plummet. In Scorpio Sign : Setting of Mercury in Martian sign Scorpio in the east,
340
V e d ic astro log y in m o n e y m atters
the markets of metals of all types become highly volatile and prices show rising trends. In the events of Mercury setting in the west, the metal markets go steady with the tendency to rise. The stock share of the m etal and the steel industry become speculatory. During the period Mercury rises in the east or the west, the government promulgate certain laws adversely affecting the trade and the commerce. Food is available in plenty resulting bearishness in the commodity market. When M ercury retrogrades in the Scorpio sign, the results some what similar to Aries sign appear. Besides, sugar markets become bullish but the prices of linseed and other related oils show reactionary trends with bearish tendencies. In the event of Mercury getting back to direct motion, it gives rise to castor seeds,, cotton seeds, oil seeds etc. The general public, at the same time, passes through a difficult patch due to apathy show n by the governm ent. Traders also feel uncomfortable due to political disturbances. This is not the favourable time to start any new venture. In Sagittarius Sign : When Mercury sets in either direction, east or west in Jupitarian sign Sagittarius, it gives rise to many conflicts between the big political or feudal powers and fragmentary p a rtie s or p e tty in su rg e n t g ro u p s. The co u n trie s representing the sign and having the transit of Saturn are to be more careful about such kind o f uprisings and disturbed conditions. In the said period, the textiles stock markets go highly bearish w hich are the consequent effects of the governments passing certain laws that causes vexations to the progress of the textile industries.The markets of edible oils, sugar, confectionery's items show buoyant tendencies. M ercury while getting into r is in g state produces most favourable time for the bullions and stock markets, of course,

with some corrections at different stages. Oil and oil seeds markets come out from the sluggish state. When Mercury comes into reverse motion under this sign of Jupiter, it sets bullish tone in dry and fresh fruits, sugar, edible oils and rice but prices of cotton, fabrics, yarn legister declining trends. The stock shares of the textile industries face bearishness. Mercury on reverting to direct course, the market of rice and its allied items post higher rates w hile cotton, oil seeds, castor seeds, groundnuts, rooking oils show reverse trends and rule low.The political environments also get vitiated due to infighting amongst the political parties. In Capricorn Sign : Setting of Mercury in Capricorn sign in east or west 11 i rection makes all the markets move in a controlled manner ,md show uneasy steadiness, tending to sway on either side. I lie traders refrain from indulging in speculatory buyings. I he m arket fluctuatory graph gets m arginally digressed iistride the straight axis of the price line.Under this dicey situation the traders operate on a thin margin in order to get going. This period onsets m any form s of diseases and governments try hard to combat lest these diseases take the epidemic form. When Mercury rises in this sign (on either direction) manifests crops of the season but by overplaying the crops conditions, the government sets the commodity m.irkets highly bearish. Benefic aspects of Saturn or Rahu at Ihe time of rising of Mercury in the eastern direction keep Ihe markets steady. Mercury on getting into retrograde motion in Saturnian wlgn Capricorn, brings sharp spurt in the prices of all types i »l oils and oil products, especially, the refined oils show buoyancy on a higher degree am ongst the cooking oils i .ilegory. The crop prospects remain to be high which keeps

the commodity markets under a continued bearish state. b u llish tren d s in the item s sta te d e a rlie r are ггц)п , pronounced, if Mercury comes under the influence of mal^j jc planets by way of conjunction or aspect, Mercury when gels back to direct motion, it brings stormy weather cond ititw w ith high possibility of rains. If it conjoins with mal^fj( planets, it sets mild bearish tone initially which later on tuj.ns into bullishness. In Aquarius sign : When Mercury sets in either direction, in Aquarius si^n the winter crops suffer and show poor production wh}ch forces the governm ent to take special measures to m ^ , enough food stocks available for the public. This sets t;he commodity prices to go up due to lesser availability in the m arket’. When Mercury sets in the west, the markets rem^jn steady while eastward setting creats bullishness in all the markets though in variant degrees. Mercury while rising jn Aquarius sign makes the bullions and stock share mark^g to go bearish with little chances of recovery. Mercury setting into retrograde motion in A quarius sign, the Juices and fruits post bullishness intially which la^er on set the bearish tone. The influence of malefic planets o v er Mercury in this state generates mild bullish trends in all the markets. Mercury reverting to direct motions in the si^n brings about rise in the prices of bullions mainly gold, leatl\er goods, betelnuts, mustard oil, but rest of the markets by a^d large remain steady. In Pisces sign : When M ercury sets either in the east or in the west jn Pisces sign, it produces good crops, resulting much betber availability of food grins which registers steady to we^^ conditions in the grain markets. Mercury, when gets in to

II also produces stormy weather coupled with gale Iиi mug into tornado causing damage to the standing crops. I In', makes the commodity to be traded at high rates than llic normal price prevailing in this part of the region. When Men ury rises in the West, the rains are moderate and the ju и rs are firmed up in a fortnight time. In general, rising of Mercury in this sign sets the market bullish initially and then | t f . i i ish. Mercury when retrogrades in Pisces sign, it delivers Игаг about the same results as the other Jupitarian sign Sagittarius. The items like dry and fresh fruits, sugar, cooking nil', and rice are traded at a high rates but cotton, fabrics and textile stock share do register weak trends. Mercury whi'ii returns back to the direct m otion, it sets the bearish Ii nit* in the markets of cotton seeds, castor oils, mustard, sun Iii iwor oils, groundnuts and other edible oils. Cotton becomes nil ady to weak. The share markets remain sluggish for w ant i'l support from the speculators. V en u s: W hile M ercury sig n ifies b u sin ess, acum en, sharp perceptions and sagacity, Venus plays dominant role in the II in tuation, vacillation, unstudiness and sway of the markets' behaviour. It is responsible for alternations, ups and downs and change in the values of all trades and commerce, besides being a pleasure seeker planet. As notified earlier that alliances amongst the Sun (grit), Mercury (intelligence) and Venus (materialistic) perform predominant and cardinal role in the trade, commerce, material and money matters. They are the key factors in the whole business gamut. All of them being swift planets and run through the entire zodiac around one year time, they basically govern the monthly trends.
V e d ic astrology in m o n e y m atters
There positions to the nearness to the Earth tend to deliver quick results. Therefore, sharp and short spurts, quick fall etc., in the market are generally attributed to the interplay and type of influences they receive from the other heavenly bodies. The variant speeds of M ercury and Venus which are earthly planets sets the mood and the tone of the markets. W hen Mercury becom es sw ifter than Venus, it emulates bullish tone. Under the reverse situation i.e., when Venus gets faster than Mercury, the markets remain in a bearish mood. In the event of both the planets are running more or less at the same speed, the sway in the market is going to be m arginal and the prices face mild fluctuations. Form the relative speeds and positions of these two in fe rio r planets, the short term m arket analysis could p re c ise ly be ca rrie d out on o b se rv in g the fo llo w in g sequences: i)
When Mercury is swift and Venus is sluggish, all the m ark ets show risin g trend s. The m arkets continue to rise till M ercury sets or rises in the eastern direction. The highest rates are registered when these two planets remain conjunct.
ii)
While Mercury is on declining pace and Venus is accelerating , the market prices go down the hill, sliding from peak rates to the low est ebb. The bo ttom lin e is to u ch e d w hen V en u s form s conjunction with the Sun. The setting of Venus in the east or west directions generates bearish tone in the market.
iii) When Venus remains near to The Sun, the markets remain sluggish and farthest position of Venus from the Sun produces better markets.
R etro gressio ns a n d h e lia c a l s e ttin g s /ris in g s

iv) When Venus, M ercury and luminary are together in a sign, it creates shortage in the food grains etc., and h en ce m a rk e ts b eco m e b u llis h , if th is conjunction takes in the proximity of the Earth, the situation becomes more intense. Far off position to the Earth does not make acute shortages. v)
Venus ahead of the Sun sets bearishness. In the same situation, if Sun is followed by Jupiter, it produces copicious rains resulting heavy floods which causes great damage to the crops. Consequently, intense shortages are felt w hich leads to bullish market conditions.
vi) The movements of the Sun followed by the Mercury keeping Mars at the back, set series of bearish bouts in the markets which creates flutters amongst the traders. vii) When Sun is being chased by Mercury followed by Venus, it produces noticeable shortages in the food grains and eatables. The situation gets redeemed, if at the same tim e Mercury sets in the Eastern direction which invigorates sluggish markets. viii)When Sun is ahead of Venus and Venus is being followed by Mercury, it provides steadiness to the markets. Under the above scenario, if markets are poised to run bullish and also if similar bullish trends are indicative by |ome o th er co m b in a tio n s, th e b u llish n e ss gets m ore pronounced. Further, when a bearish trend is duly supported by some other bearish elements, the markets are slumpped Ii) a greater degree.

reactionary but the movements of Venus and Mercury arc the chief indicatory. Now the results of setting, rising and retrogression ol Venus in various signs are described in the succeeding parts. In Aries Sign : Venus setting in the martian sign Aries, causes bullish trends in the m arket of food grains, sugar and its allied products due to shortfall in rains in the areas where these products are grow n. In certain regions these crops are destroyed on account of excess rains which also creates spurts in those markets. Rising of Venus in this sign onsets different types of diseases with the possibility of turning them into epidemic. This state of Venus also tends to produce food grains shortages and generating bullish tone. W hen V enus retrogrades in A ries sign, it creates bullishness anci populace face trying time. The female folks pass through difficult period at the time of giving birth especially, the animal births records higher m ortality rates. On acquiring direct motion the markets of sugar, edible oils, linseed, wheat go bearish. The share market also follows the sim ilar trends. The bearishness is more pronounced in the first five days of Venus taking to retrograde course. In Taurus Sign : When Venus sets in its own sign Taurus, it establishes marginally higher trends in all the markets especially, in food grains due to slightly below average crop conditions. The cattle and other animals face difficult times. In a rising state of Venus in this sign, the food grains market slumps due to better arrivals in the markets. General public pass through gooci time. Political scenario is also going to be favourable. In both the periods of setting and rising, the m arkets of fabrics, jute, silver, sugar and other white commodities go

bullish due to heavy export of these items. When Venus retrogrades in its own sign Taurus, it Inspires the markets of cotton, silver, sugar to adopt bullish [tenuis. The stock shares of textile also show enormous rise line Ii beyond the expectations. At this point of time/ if Men ury acquires faster pace or rises in the eastern direction, (lie markets of these items touch a much higher level. When mis reverts to its direct motion, a mild drop in the rising f i e n d s of the above items is expected. However, the prices tog.iin show up after a month or so. Ill ( .einini Sign : Venus setting in mercurian sign Gemini produces lower fnle'i in cotton and white coloured articles. The populace, J^mvever live under some element of fear. It also brings good rain making food grains production ■vixirable. The rising state of Venus in the sign fashions mil better w heat crops and thereby making the prices of the i n 11modifies to slide a bit. The fear amongst the common pil/en continues on account uncalled for utterances from irresponsible politicians or administrators. The retrograde motions of Venus in this sign sets higher trends in the market of the cotton, jute and all white b l i uired items. The stock shares produce noticeable bullish ■pikIm due to brisk buying by the speculators and investors. Venus on getting into direct course in this sign, produces Be,и i.h lone in the rice, clothes, fabrics, jute, sugar and white w in s In this period of retrogression of Venus in Gemini, spot buying is at higher rates than speculatory buyings, file margin between the two types of dealings is going to be tpiiir sizeable.

In C ancer Sign : Setting of Venus in the M oon's sign Cancer produces heavy rains and the entire rainy season sets bearish tone in all markets on account governments announcement about better crops conditions. The markets as a matter of fact , remain sluggish throughout the period of settings of Venus. When Venus rises in this sign, it creates such conditions that the crops get destroyed adversely affecting the agriculture p ro d u ctio n . T h e G o v ern m en t m ake som e w astefu l e x p e n d itu re , m u ch to the u n e a sin e s s of th e p u b lic. Governmental authorities plan raids on some leading trading houses causing panic in the business commodity. When Venus retrogrades in this sign, it creates rising tone in the m arkets of cotton w ithin one m onth. It also produces scattered ’rains in some parts of the country .

In Scorpio Sign : The re tro g ra d e m o tio n of M ars in its ow n sign, generates bullishness in iron, bronze, oils and chemicals.

direct motion, Mars creates some sort of communal tensions On acquiring accelerated motion, the prices of cotton gel dropped. In Aquarius Sign : The retrogression of Mars in this sign manifests price rise in silver, edible oil, food grains, cotton, marine products. The prices of cotton and silver rise faster should Venus conjoins Mars at this point of time. The moment Mars reverts to direct motion the prices of luxury goods, wines, alcohols, get dropped. Besides, a few marine accidents at high seas may take place in the areas denoted by this sign, when Saturn sojourns over it. On assuming direct course normally Mars (practically in all signs) subdues the silver and cotton markets, though for a short duration. Astute traders take advantage of this phenomenon. However, contrary trends are observed in case of edible oil markets. This trend persists for about a week. Effects of Stationary State of Mars : It is natural that when there is a change in the course of any motion,the object stops for a while before switching over to the next state of motion. This also holds true in the case of all the heavenly bodies. W hen any planet while moving direct, gets into retrograde motion, it becomes static for a few days. This is known as stationary motion. This particular period can easily be identified from the ephemeris. The markets during this period, in case of Mars, become highly volatile. The bullions cotton and edible oils prices however, remain bearish. The effects of this state of M ars over the m arkets depends upon the elemental quality of the sign in which stationary position occurs.

slow moving planets, the exterior planets play an effet l iV role in markets' fluctuations and also meddle with the 1m m term bearish and bullish trends, mainly of the items ov| which they have their dominance. W hen a p la n et goes in to re tro g ra d e m otion, immensely disturbs the markets. Of course, the intensity nn the range of sway largely depends upon the type, positio and the kind of influences are being drawn on it. This Iia been exhaustively dealt in the previous part of this chapttf! The planets at the extremes of the orbit, also exert simill effects over the markets when they set in to retrogressio and than revert to direct motion. Brief results of these dist.u\ planets are described succeedingly. The effects get alter® according to the sign in which the course is reversed.

Uranus : This planet generally denotes bullish trends of hi^.h, magnitude in the markets. It gives strongly marked bullish effects if positioned in sign Aries, Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Capricorn, Aquarius but sets bearish tone in Gemini, Virgo, Libra and Pisces signs. When Uranus gets associated with Saturn, Rahu or the Sun in the signs signifying rise, it produces long term b u llish n ess. On the other hand! accompanying the planets like Jupiter, the Moon, Neptune, it creates bearish trend for a long duration. In direct motion after retrogression, if Uranus is located in Aries, Taurus Leo, Scorpio, Capricorn or Aquarius duly accompanied by the Sun, Rahu, Mars or Saturn, it registers rising trends. The position of Uranus in the bearish signs with the benefic planets brings downward trends in the markets.

| Wlii'n Uranus retrogrades, it m anifests a good amount ii * in .ill the markets and during this period, if it happens |u' w ith the signs and planets signifying bullishness, the i> in prices are of a very high magnitude. Its associations lb IIn* bearish signs and planets makes the market prices lim'd to some extent instead of rising. ptune : I N eptune is sig n ifie d as a b e a rish p la n et. If it is bitlimed in Aries, Leo, Libra, Scorpio, C apricorn and |ii.ii ius signs, it generates bullishness but the prices are upped rather sharply, if Neptune is placed in Gemini, rr, V irgo, S a g itta riu s and P isce s. S im ila rly , the Hit>•1.11 ion of Neptune with the Sun, Mars, Venus ,Saturn, I'.I Ihi makes the markets go bullish while with the Moon, Irh ii ry, Jupiter or Ketu, the bearish are the results. N e p tu n e in the direct m otion denotes bearish tone. In I)* us, Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius or Pisces, the decline in the h i. и kets is rather sharp. However, should it get under the p i h i e n c e of malefic planets and also positioned in any of B|e sign , other than the above, there are going to be mild Brin ish trends.
In retrograde m otion, Neptune sets bullish tone. Here Hi',mi, if the placement of Neptune in the signs and with the |t|.diets denoting bullishness, there is tremendous rise in the lii.iiL e t s . While the association of Neptune with the milder ■Ip,us and soft planets though creates slight bullishness, it is kmhi followed by the bearish trends.

sets the declining trends. It shows steadiness of the markets when placed in bearish signs and accomplished by the Moon, Mercury or Jupiter. When Pluto retrogrades in signs Aries , Taurus , Leo, Libra, Scorpio, Capricorn or Aquarius and is conjoined with the Sun, Mars, Saturn, Rahu, Uranus, the bullish trends are more pronounced. While Pluto's placement in the remainiii)’, signs and with the rest of the planets, produces normal b u llish tone. Pluto on getting into d irect course after retrogression it delivers the same results as were before retrogression, provided no interference is caused by any other planet by that time otherwise the results get altered accordingly. Soli-Lunar Nodes : Rahu and Ketu are the planets which also signify the rising trends. If Rahu or Ketu gets conjoined with the Sun the weak Moon, Mars, Saturn, Venus, Uranus or Pluto in their retrograde positions, it shows high rated bullishness without any possible correction. On the other hand, any ol the nodes, if gets accompanied by Mercury, Venus, Jupiter or Neptune, it produces declining trend in the markets. 11 creates higher degree of rising trends, if either of them is associated with any of the retrograde planets capable oi settin g b u llish n ess in the signs G em ini, Leo, Scorpio, Capricorn. However, if any planet denotes bullishness get conjoined with Rahu or Ketu in the signs Cancer, Virgo, Sagittariu s or Pisces, there are considerable fall in the markets.

CHAPTER-14
JU D G IN G COMPANY'S STATUS TH RO UGH CELESTIAL HOUSES W hile analysing the heavenly map of the business houses, corporate bodies,registered companies and trading organisations, it is imperative to keep in mind the precise significations of the houses relating to various .corporate activities so as to correctly estimate the business standings and financial status of a com pany. The positions of the planets in all the twelve houses are required to be examined and assim ilated meticulously. However, any house which is devoid of planet, its assessment is to be made through the analysis of the status of the lord of the said house. Even otherw ise, the strength of the lord of any house is also taken care of. In order to drive congregated position in terms of strength and weakness of a company, it is essential to analyse all the twelve houses of com pany's horoscopic chart. THE F IR S T HOUSE : Just as in the mundane chart of a country, the 1st house denotes the general condition of the country and its people, the 1 st house of the company's map signifies the leadership of the firm and other personnel of the organisation including stock hold ers. It depicts the general status,health (both financial and human resources), company's philosophy and morality of the people at the helm of the affairs. The attitude

low.inis the share holders and employees are also assessed Irom this house. Lunation (New Moon) : The lunation falling in the 1st house brings about some alterations and changes in the company's affairs. Should lunation receives benefic aspects at that time , the concerned enterprise is bestowed with prosperity at large. The benefits are related to the planets causing favourable aspects. If lu n a tio n b eg ets in h a rm o n io u s in flu e n c e , it cau ses discontentment and dissidence by the employees. The affairs of the com pany are also p ro g ressed u n sa tisfa c to rily . Therefore, the planetary disposition in the chart is carefully studied at the time of lunation to assess the prospects of the enterprise rather minutely. The S u n : A w ell p o sitio n e d Sun in the 1st ho u se d en o tes prosperity and improvement in company's activities. The employees show solidarity and jointly put their efforts in the hour of need. The enterprises who com m ence their operations during this period, prove beneficial and attain success. The m anagem ent and w orkers enjoy good and cordial relation. The new ventures are progressed well and completed successfully. This position of the Sun ushers in an over all prosperity for the organisation. However, if the Sun falls under affliction in this position, it generates friction between the workers and the management, which adversely affects the image of the company. The detracting forces are emerged causing embitterments and adverse impact on the productivity. These disturbed conditions effectuate health and mental problems for the senior authority such as CEO etc.

The Moon : The placement of the M oon in the first house improves llu* general condition of the company though it brings some » hanges in the attitude of the workers but it would be for the better. The commodities' business is going to prosper. I he benefic Moon ushers in the era of peace and harmony iind sm ooth fu n ctio n in g o f co m p an y 's activities. The management accedes to the workers demands in the event of any a fflic tio n is ca u sed over the Moon by w ay of inauspicious aspects and the workings harmony is also g reatly im p aired . T h is s itu a tio n as well, fo m en t discontentment and unrest amongst the workers. Mars : Mars being a malefic planet and its placement in the 1st house impels lo t of controversies in the functioning of the m anagem ent. A d issid en t group w ithin the hierarchy emerges. The discontentm ent of works turns into violent confrontation leading to strikes and lockouts. The company may resort to general m obilisation of the workers to diffuse the issue. In the case of M ars receiving favourable aspects and is well placed, it invigorates and brings vitality amongst the staff members. However, there may be some stern and and aggressive actions of the management to restore the normalcy in the organisation. M ercu ry: A well placed Mercury under benefic aspects in the first house, inculcates brisk activities in the field of trade and comm erce. T he quantum of business goes up w ith the increase in the transactions which are signified by Mercury or planet influencing it. The work force becomes co-operative and shuns the differences. How ever, if any affliction is caused to M ercury, it gen erates discontentment in the
Vedic astrology in m oney matters
w orkers who ind u lge th em selv es in some d isru p tive activities. In this duration if any new venture is taken up that is going to end up in failure. Ju p ite r : A w ell asp ected Ju p iter in the Ascendant brings prosperity and success to the company. Jupiter imbibes such a culture that gives an over all expansion. D uring the favourable conditions,the financial status of the company rise s to new h e ig h ts. The com pany also p lan s and im plem ents its exp an sion programmes w ith su ccess . Besides, the enterprise do brisk business and their are no dearth of work and opportunities. However, if Jupiter in the 1 st house comes under affliction, it sets a tone of sluggishness and also causes impediments in the trade. If the affliction is caused from the 1 0 th house or it lord, the hurdles in the co m m ercial a ctiv itie s are created by the governm enl authority. Venus : If Venus occupies the benefic position in the 1st house, it induces peace, harmony and good work culture in the organisation. It also generates healthy environment amongst the staff member which helps producing encouraging results for the company. The rules and regulations set forth during this period are for the benefit of the workers which inturn helps in creasin g the p ro d u ctiv ity . Under the adverse situations when Venus gets afflictions, all the positive results setforth as above do not come about. There will be paucity of work and the new ventures may not meet much success The policies of the governments are unhelpful. S a tu rn : The position of Saturn in the 1st house is not at all w elcom ed . B esid es, if it is also under a fflic tio n , the

unfavorable results are more pronounced. It produces I ili>u oiltentment, inferior work culture, degeneration of trade Iftiul poor company's standing. It also results in hardship, frustration and fear amongst the workers who may resort to ■|}»)',itational activities. The detractors of the management I им v incite the em ployees to take the advantage of the ■ iiliu ition . H ow ever, should Satu rn receiv e au spiciou s I M'ipects, it helps inducing steady and progressive attitude in I tin1 employees to instill a good work culture and to improve I . tin1 financial status of the company. Uranus :
The influence of Uranus in the 1st house is also evil. It ■ pioduces the tendencies of indiscipline, strike, turbulence Id iu l discontentments in the workers. Dissident groups are su rfaced to d etract the co m p a n y 's' b en efits and ■nd v.intageous position. The detractors incite agitations but Ittik e a low profile initially and assume the proportion of ■Violent actions later on, m uch to the discom fort to the b u tlio rity . A well aspected Uranus in this house, brings about ■ jH ieitous attitude amongst the employees who show much ■ p o o rn ess in the company's reforms. N eptune :
The p la cem en t of N ep tu n e in th e fir s t ho u se is ■ Unpleasant one. The position of Neptune in this house of I the company's chart agitates the mind of the workers who I then tend to indulge in a secret propaganda against the ■ liunagement. These clandestine activities are capable of ■ l niising severe disturbances and turn about in the progress ■ inuch to the discomfort of the management. Upon affliction, И Heine cases of fraud, swindling etc., take place. The company I aIm> indulges into some unethical business or im moral ■ ri> livities. Besides, the actions or objectives of the firms are ■ disoriented.

Pluto :
The position of Pluto in the first house is also not considered favourable because it foments all type of trouble like clandestine and secret activities, antipropaganda, against the management. However, if Pluto receives benefic aspects b e re ft of u n fa v o u ra b le in flu e n ce s, the new ventu res undertaken during this period achieve success and yiekl profits. The company's plans go in favour of the workers who lend full co-operation to the management. TH E SECOND H O U SE :
The second house signifies the liquid assets of the company. It denotes comm ercial affairs, trade and stock shares of the company. The firm 's relation with the banks and other financial institutions are also judged from the strength of the 2nd house. The financial soundness, spending ability and capacity to generate profits are assessed from this house. Therefore, it may be seen that the 2nd house in the company's map is very vital for its very existence as finance is the back bone of any enterprise. If the lord of 2nd house is dignified and well aspected,the financial position of the firm is considered very good. In the event of a week 2nd lord, the financial status generally remains unsatisfactorily. The Lunation :
A well aspected lunation in the 2nd house denotes accretion of profits,improvement in financial status and the company stocks shares show greater amount of buoyancy and are traded well.

Moon is well placed and under benefic aspects, the above eventualities do not arise and the anti-management activities may not cause any damage. Mars : The situation of Mars in the 12th house denotes bad and unpalatable results. Should it get greatly afflicted, the effects are atrocious and wicked. The placement of Mars in this house compels the management to take extreme steps to quell and subdue the agitational stance of the workers. As it is, the 12th house denotes secret trait and when Mars get placed there under an afflicted state, the clandestine and deceptive a ctiv itie s becom e inten se. H ow ever, a w ell aspected Mars produces a good time to the management who is able to check, counter the disruptive activities with grit and rather forcefully. Mercury : The placement of Mercury in the 12th house in a benefic state produces auspicious effects. The literary pursuits are successful and yield good dividends. Scientific developments receive greater attention. The company brings in expansion programmes advantageously. Upliftment schemes are set forth for the betterm ent of the workers. The com pany's policies benefits one and all and draw ample satisfaction and co-operation. In the event of Mercury getting afflicted, it yields unfavourable results. The speculatory activities are not beneficial. There may be dislocation of the work. The computers and textiles business experience tough time. Tin 1 work contracts run into losses despite heavy investments. Jupiter : The position of Jupiter in the 12th house is good. Since it is the planet for expansion , all big and high budgeted plans are progressed well. A well aspected Jupitei helps in

When Jupiter is afflicted in the 1 2 th house, it also encourages the surreptitious activities damaging the image of the company. The management r u n through hard time. The adverse effects are severe if Jupitei is afflicted by the Sun. At the same time, should Jupiter come under good influences, though heavy expenditure incures, it is for a good cause which ultimately turns into profits. V enus: The disposition of Venus in this house gives way to the heavy expenditure by the company for the developments. Л well placed Venus brings about peace and harmony. On being afflicted, it is going to give distasteful results. In this state, no good agreements are made and if any agreement concluded under the malefic influence, that does not yield profits. A well aspected Venus brings a good collection ol fund and financial position gets well secured. However, affliction to Venus induces speculatory activities or it may even encourage gambling which turns out to be a losin); proposition. The position of Venus in this house creates hurdles in repaying the loans. Saturn : The Saturn placement in the twelveth house is not at all good . It produces extremely evil results if afflicted. It also brings dishonour and disprepute to the company and m ak es it to struggle for existance. There are wastages of lots ol company's fund. The dissident groups foment trouble and disrupt the work. The undesirable elements rear their heads much to the discomforts to the management. An affliction to Saturn in the 12th house creates difficult situation for the people at the helm of affairs to step down or forced to vacate the position.

CHAPTER-15
THE PRECEPTS AND A FEW NOTABLE EVENTS There are num erous item s and products w hich are transacted every day. There prices either remain steady or fluctuate from time to time. As detailed earlier that under economic theory, the prices largely depend upon supply and dem and b u t a cco rd in g to a s tro lo g ic a l p re ce p ts such incidences are directly related to the perpetual rotation of celestial objects. It is said; " Yat pinday tat Brahmanday", meaning thereby that celestial phenomena are repeated on earth; for individual and other worldly events. This is the Vedic basis of astrology. Economic and financial processes are also governed by planetary positions, m otions and relationships. This concept has profoundly been discussed in chapter-2. Therefore, the pricing pattern and market behaviour are the direct results of planetary forces drawn on the earth and there is no terrestrial matter which escapes the astronom ical rad iation and g rav itation al energies. Oceanic tide on a full moon is one such phenomena which is well known even to a common person. The zodiacal signs, planets, nakshatras are the prime astrological movers which play dom inantrole and subjugate perceptible changes in the mundane affairs just as in natal astrology but in a different format.

Vedic astrology in m oney m atters
In this chapter, a few notable events are illustrated to demonstrate the efficacy of various foregoing precepts. A host of commodities are governed by a single sign, planet and nakshatrn. Further, the same sign and planet by there intrinsic characteristics cause bearish or bullish trends Further, the Transit of planets in different signs round the year, post aspects of varied nature amongst themselves. The nature of planetary aspects, bullish or bearish decides the market trends. The Snrvatobhadra Chakra which extensively involves the nnkshatras more than sign and planets, is a very effective tool, in discerning market tendencies. Before going any further, it is necessary to dwell on this concept with more details. Establishing the exact relationship amongst the signs, planets and nnkshatras in respect of an item , is the p re cu rso r to d e te rm in in g th e ir e ffe cts corresponding to market prices and financial matters. The degree of im p act depends upon the stren g th and the influences caused on a planet which is reckoned from its position in a particular sign. For example: the Sun, Mars, Leo sign also Dhanista and Purva Phalguni nnkshatras signify gold. The strength of these planets and level of influence drawn over Leo and these nnkshntrns, necessarily reveal the rise and fall of the prices of this precious metal. A planet is strongest in its own sign, while in sign of debilitation or detriment, it is rendered weak. Sim ilarly, in .1 friendly sign, it delivers favourable results but in an inimica I sign, adverse effects are noticed. Planet in a retrograde motion, normally shows contrary results. However, at that time if it, receives favourable aspect from another planet, it acquires good qualities and its benefic influence produces bullish trends. For instant, when Mercury retrogrades, it forms an evil aspect but if it receives a good aspect from lupiter, the silver prices get firmed up. This combination

also gives stren g th to other item s ruled by M en urv. Likewise, the Moon in a Cancer sign is strong for silvri markets and the Sun in Leo sign for gold prices, bul the placement of the Sun in Cancer sign plummets the silver prices. If the Moon is positioned in Capricorn sign which is opposite to Cancer sign and the Sun and Venus also transit this sign, it sets steep rise in silver prices. The swing in prices from lower to higher point or vice versa is generally noticed when a new moon or full moon reaches out to apogee and perigee positions respectively. However, a planet while passing through the sign in a retrograde state, diverse effects are noticed due to occurence of setting and rising of planet around the same time which tempers with the results in either way. Similarly, the effects of a planet in acceleration are of a higher magnitude. On the same analogy, a passage of a planet through an exalted sign also produces results of greater severity but in fall, it attributes half the effects. The speed and motion of planet are more relevant in Sarvatobhadra Chakra where nnkshatras hold the key factor as they provide a platform where from, the transiting planets cause vedhas on signs, and planets. Nnkshatra's vedha, as stated earlier, provide finesse and subtility in predicting the results. Therefore, w hile w orking out the effects of vedhas, it is essential to figure out the position and strength of the planet. It is equally important to know whether a planet causing vedha is also in an asp ectu al p osition w ith the planet, nakshatrn etc., suffering such vedhas at that time. In the ab sen ce of any asp ect, the e ffe cts of such vcilhns gel neutralised. The difference between aspect and vedha li.is been explained at length in chapter - 1 2 where, it is staled lli.it an aspect denotes the "gross" effect while a vedha iin Iit ales the subtle effect.
Vedic astrology in m oney matters
All planets deliver full effect through their 7th aspect Saturn produces full and other planets l/ 4th effect of 3rd and 11th aspects. Further; Jupiter has full while rest give half the effect from 5th and 9th aspects. Similarly, there is a full effect of 4th and 8 th aspects from Mars but the rest show 3/4th results. The quantification of results through vedhas is done by these factors. The process of rising and depressing trends are worked through vedhas as follows: i)
If a benefic planet while in tra n sit, sights another sign in which the nnkshatra causing vedha falls, there is drop in values of the commodity ruled by it.
ii)
A malefic planet, if placed in the similar situation, the rise in value of the concerned commodities is the result.
The effects of the planets causing or suffering vedhas though reckoned from the strength of the planets, their im pacts are marked rather differently. The malefic while transiting in an inim ical sign, cause full, in neutral sign, 3/4th, in friendly half and in its own sign, produces l/ 4th impact. Further, the different shades of effectiveness of the vedhas of the planets are discernible from the degree of rise and fall of a particular item ruled by the planet under vedhas. In commercial matters, precise results are ascertained through Sarvatobhadra Chakra by deciphering the different vedhas caused by the planet during transit over nakshatras. A few astrological savants in a long period of experimentation in judging the effects of vedhas in this field, have chartered certain rules which hold good in many matters. Described below are some of the selected principles keeping in view their practical applications. Majority of them are focussed mainly on the business activities in bullion, cotton, share

markets etc. Since in the chakra the position of the planets иre marked in the nakshatras in which they sojourn at a pa rlii u l.ti point of time, the vedhas caused by them from these positions are notified which are adjudged as per speeds and motionsol the planets. The vedha's effects narrated below are on plane I wise basis : The Sun: i)
A vedha on Swati, Purva Bhadra or Revati nakshatrn generates a good buying capacity of the traders in white coloured commodities, like silver, cloth, milk products etc., and the prices of such items go bullish.
ii)
A vedha on Anuradha nakshatra adversely effects the, b u llio n m a rk ets due to fren z y bu y in g , particularly by the government agencies.
iii)
A vedha on Pushya or Dhanista nakshatra along with vedha by Mars on Ashlesha or placement of Mars in Ashlesha creates flutters in the bullion (Gold) markets.
iv)
A vedha on Aries, Gemini, Leo, Libra, Capricorn or Aquarius sign tends to raise the prices of silver metal but stock shares register fall.
v)
A mutual vedha with Rahu produces spurts in share markets but the prices of cotton and bullion (Gold) get dropped.
vi)
A vedha on Taurus sign manifests bearish ness in silver prices but, a combined vedha of the Sun and Mercury on any sign except Aquarius sign brings rise in silver and share markets.
vii)
A combined vedha along with Mars on I .ibr.t sign shapes higher prices for cotton.
Vedie astrology in money m atters
viii)
A vedha on Leo sign and simultaneously Saturn's vedha on Capricorn sign, generate heavy buying of bullion and raises the markets to new heights.
The M oon:
i)
In conjunction with Mercury, a vedha on Taurus or Cancer signs brings down the prices of cotton.
ii)
If the above vedha is focussed on Gemini sign, the prices of bullion mainly, silver plummets.
iii)
A vedha on Leo sign, registers a rise in bullion particularly in gold and cotton markets.
iv)
A vedha on Scorpio and Pisces depresses the markets while in Sagittarius, the prices tend to rise.
v)
A vedha on A quarius begets higher prices for cotton and stock shares.
vi)
A vedha on Rahu or Ketu elev ates the silver markets
M ars:
i)
A vedha, while in acceleration, on Venus drops the prices of cotton but on Cancer sign, it produces rising trends in silver, cotton and share markets
ii)
A vedha on Capricorn on Aquarius signs when the Moon transits in these signs, it registers a bullish tone in the markets
iii)
A vedha on Leo sign, raises the bullion markets to a great extent.
iv)
A vedha on Venus in any sign create spurts in silver markets but vedha on Saturn though sets

bullish tone in cotton, the prices of stock shares are dropped. The fall is rather severe, if vedliti willi Saturn is caused on reciprocal basis. A mutual vedha with Rahu or Ketu produces the bearish trends in the share markets but the silver prices rule high during such period. A vedha on Aries, Libra, signs registers the rising trends in Cotton, Sugar, Cotton and stock shares but its vedha on Virgo and Sagittarius sign creates a good bullish tone in silver markets. A vedha on Taurus, Leo, Libra, Capricorn signs raises the gold m arkets on account of foreign buyings. A co m b in ed ved h a w ith Rahu on Leo sign suddenly raises the market due to fervent political activities. Simultaneous vedha with Rahu or Jupiter on any sign, generates spurts in silver markets. However, a similar vedha with Saturn over Gemini, Virgo or Sagittariu s signs sets in a good rise in share markets. A vedha on Mercury produces a sudden fall in bullion. A mutual vedha with Venus tends to raise the share markets. A M utual vedha with Jupiter produces a good bullish tone in stock shares and cotton markets due to heavy forward buyings by the investors and speculators.

Mercury:
i)
A vedha on Pushya nakshatra creates bearishness in bullion (gold) markets but if, Mars also gets located in this nakshatra at that movement, the fall is more pronounced. However, the Sun's position over there, brings about the steadiness in such markets.
ii)
A vedha on Leo sign, especially when Mars is also positioned in the sign, it registers phenomenon rise in the gold prices but on the other hand causes relapse in the stock markets.
iii)
A vedha over Virgo sign and also Martian vedha at the time on Aslesha nakshatra or Mars get posited in this nakshatra, it produces a severe drop in the bullion markets.
iv)
A mutual vedha with Venus registers a fall in silver and cotton prices.
v)
A vedha on Punarvasu, Chitra, Hasta or Shatbisha nakshatra creates bearish tone in the gold prices.
vi)
A vedha alo n g w ith Rahu on any n aksh atra, subdues the gold markets
Jupiter: i)
A m utual vedha w ith V enus hoists the silver markets to a great extent.
ii)
A vedha on U ttar B hadra n aksh atra produ ces bearishness in silver prices.
iii)
A mutual vedha with Rahu or Ketu tempestuously vacillates the markets on either directions.
iv)
Likewise, a vedha on Shatbisha nakshatra coupled with Marsian vedha over Chitra nakshatra, registers
T he precepts and a few notable events
a good deal of spurts in bullion and loodgrains (particularly wheat) markets. v)
A vedha on Uttra Bhadra nakshatra moderates the silver prices but vedha on K rittika Punarvasu, Aridra, Hasta, Vishakha or Purva Asada nakshatra low ers down the gold prices and also cotton markets due to good crop condition.:
Venus: i)
A mutual vedha On Rahu plunges the prices of the stock shares and silver rather steeply. But a mutual vedha on Jupiter raises the silver markets on account of heavy demands.
ii)
A vedha on Cancer or Sagittarius sign, perks up the stock share markets on frenzy buyings
iii)
Similarly, a vedha on Leo sign makes, the prices of bullion rule high but the stock share markets dip as a result of dull transactions
iv)
A vedha on Libra sign makes the silver prices rise follow ing good buyings.
v)
A vedha suffered from Rahu or Ketu sets the rising trends in silver markets.
Saturn: i)
A vedha on Capricorn sign generates good demand of silver, which causes steep rise in its prices.
ii)
A mutual vedha with Mars brings down the slot к markets abruptly.
iii)
A vedha on M oola, Uttra A shada or Shiilfrinhii nakshatra creates failure of crop there by causing spiralling rise practically, in all the markers.

With Rahu or Ketu posting simultaneous vedha on A ries or C a p rico rn sig n , U shers in b u llish conditions for silver and cotton markets.
v) A vedha on Aquarius sign produces bullish tone in silver and stock share markets. Rahu or Ketu : i)
A vedha on Punarvasu, Uttar Phalguni, Chitra or Uttar Bhadra nakshatra generates a good demand and sets in inflationary trends practically in all the markets.
ii)
A vedha on Gemini, Virgo, Scorpio or Capricorn sign produces frenzy market sentiments causing spurts in the share markets.

planets or one malefic and another benefit planet p r o d u c t 's similar results as are generated by a conjunction ol such combination of plants. The rulership of the zodiacal sign have been elaborately brought out in chapter-5, like, Aries sign rules gold, wheat, copper, Taurus sign governs stock markets and stock exchanges; Gemini and Libra signs denote cotton; Cancer and Libra signs signify silver and gold respectively. Scorpio sign rules iron and Sagittarius sign governs stock shares. Again, Capricorn sign denotes gold, stocks shares and copper; Aquarius sign shares and Pisces rule precious stones. C o n ju n ction of U ranus and Ju piter assum es great importance in regulating the stock markets. Besides, Uranus by its nature of suddenness brings abrupt changes and wild fluctuations in the markets and Neptune creates chaos in the markets. Jupiter fluctuates the markets in accordance to the influence it receives from malefic or benefic planets. When benefic planets cause a mutual vedlia on any of the signs, the prices of the related item as stated in the preceding paragraph, plummet. If Malefic planets exchange the vedha, it raises the prices of the items denoted by the signs involved in vedha. But in case of mutual vedha between a malefic and benefic planet, the prices of the commodities ruled by the signs show fluctuating trends. In order to determ ine the price v ariatio n s in any particular item, a horoscope at a required point of time is erected. The interpretation of the chart is carried out as per general astrological principles enunciated for mundane astrology. To start with the planetary position and their status are seen and then the type of aspects w hich are engaging the ruling planet and signs are noted down to ascertain the gross effect. Here the western aspects show precise results. Sarvatohhadra Chakra for the same period is
Vedic astrology in m oney matters
also graphed to check various vedhas and also the planets, signs and nakshatras involved in such vedhas to register the subtle results. For effective position, conjunction etc., within one degree of application is considered with a view to locati' eventuations in market trends of a particular commodity. The nakshatras which has ability to exercise influence over such commodity are indentified, on the Sarvatobhadra Chakrn and relevant aspects and vedhas are recorded. In classical works, a set pattern of vedhas have been described but the astrologers engaged in this field in the preceding century or so made certain shifts from the ancient axiom s through their su stained exp erien ces and their precepts have been recorded in the forgoing part. Further, as per the stated principle of Sarvatobhadra Chakra, the planets are assigned only one vedha at one point of time i.e., front, right hand side and left hand side; depending upon speeds and motions. While the front vedha affects only nakshatra and planet placed in the opposite cell, the other two types of vedhas influence all the cells enroute. In the former case, all the signs vowels etc., falling in the way escape the vedha. It is experienced and also sounds logical that the frontal vedha should also be reckoned like other vedhas. Sim ilarly, the luminaries and Rahu/Ketu have permanently been assigned only one type of vedha due to constant speed and single motion but here also appropriate effects are noticed by taking their vedhas on all the sides. Notable events: In the year 1997, there have been some quite unusual moments in bullion and stock share markets. In the last part of October 1997, there was phenomenon drop in indices of major world stock exchanges. On bullion side, there were greater amount of surprises during this year. While gold ruled quite low practically through out the year, silver

touched the bottom line and at the same time peak in Ihr year. Before the causes of these prodigious happenings arc traced out, it is expedient to recapitulate the fundamentals of these highly marketable components which affect the very fibre of the country's economy. The Bullion:
According to western astrology, the Sun rules gold but in Varaha Mnhira's opinion Mars is the significator of gold. However, it is better to judge gold markets both from the Sun and Mars and from the status of signs ruled by them viz, Leo, Aries and Scorpio. The Jupiter and Pisces signs also denote precious things and are also considered in tracing the market trends of gold. For silver, both western and most of the vedic astrologers take the Moon and its ruling sign Cancer as the significaters. However, according to Varaha Mihira, Jupiter rules silver. Infact, Venus is yet another planet which has lot to say in the pricing trends of silver. Therefore, the signs ruled by them like Sagittarius, Pisces, Taurus and Libra apart from Cancer sign exercise variable effects on silver m arkets depending upon other forces acting over these signs and planets involved at a particular point of time. Besides, these planets have intrinsic quality of causing bullish or bearish effect, if not subjected to other influences. Normally, the transits of major planets over the barren signs viz, Gemini, Cancer, Virgo, Libra, Aquarius, and Pisces keep the markets of gold and silver at a dull note. When the Moon, Mercury, Jupiter or Neptune while transiting these signs are engaged in an opposite aspect with the Sun or Mars, the prices of gold fall with minor short term corrections. But if, these aspects are formed by Mercury, Jupiter or Neptune while in retrograde motion, the bearish trends are more pronounced.

From the above table, the involvem ent of different celestial objects in moderating the bullion markets are quite evident. It also depicts the position of nakshatras in relation to signs and their planetary lords. The connection, between them is a precursor to judge the effectiveness of a vedha. Share M arkets :
The share markets, securities or national bond are the marketable items and both the speculators and investors are regularly indulged in buying and selling of stocks etc. Saturn and Uranus planets, by and large, regulate the stock markets. So far as the shares of individual company are concerned,
T he precepts and a few notable events
these are governed by specific planets, signs and iiiikslniliii'i However, a general principle is that the shares of a Inis i n c . ' . concern are bought when Jupiter is transiting in its ruling sign and sold out when Saturn or Uranus passes over such signs. Taurus, Sagittarius, Capricorn and Aquarius signs rule the money m atters and movable possessions. Since in a natural horoscope these signs represent the 2nd, the 9th, the 1 0 th, and the 1 1 th houses respectively, they have much to say in the behaviour of share markets. Under the norm al rules of com m ercial astrology, il number of planets transit in the bearish signs, the stock markets transact subdued business and shares prices by and large, get depressed. Further, when Jupiter transits these signs and also comes under opposite or other bearish aspects from the Moon, Mercury and Neptune, it causes greater fall in the share markets. If Mercury or Neptune duly retrograde, casts bearish aspect on Jupiter, falls of short durations in the stock markets are witnessed. Similarly, if Neptune transits the Cancer, Gemini or Pisces sign and also receives aspects from Mercury or Jupiter, the share prices are plunged but M ercury's aspects in retrogression produces short bearish trends in the share markets. On the contrary, when most of the planets transit the bullish signs namely, Aries, Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Sagittarius and Capricorn, it generates frenzy buying activities in stock shares and thereby set the rising trends in these markets. When Mars or Saturn transits in any bullish sign and also receives bullish aspects from the Sun, Mars, Saturn, Rahu, Uranus or Pluto, the share prices show great volatility and produce rising trends. While in retrogression, if these planets get conjunct or cast bullish aspects, rising trends stay lot a longer period.

Slump in G old Prices: The prices of gold touched the lowest ebb in the past live years was the head line in the 26th November 97 issue of "The Economic Times". Under the econom ic rules, the bullion prices generally move in sympathy with the prices of the other commodities and in the same direction but often contrary to the stock and share markets. The country faced one of the worst political turmoil in the month of November197 which led to dissolution of the Eleventh Lok Sabha on the 28th November' 97. While the prices of gold were on a'slid , it further tumbled on this day to register very low at Rs. 3710/- per 10 gms. of 22 carat at Mumbai. The BSE Sensex index went up by 92 points at 3628 but silver market however remained steady at Rs. 7270/- on date. W hile Sen sex index crossed the p sy ch o lo g ically important mark of 3600 points, the bullion values kept a low profile. The silver prices recovered in the month of December' 97 but the gold continued to rule low due to heavy buyings in London markets. In the year 1997, there had been constant drop in the gold prices world over and in India in particular. In the month of August 97 the gold value ruled in the vicinity of Rs 4200/- per 10 grms (22 carat) but its constant slide in the rest of the months in this year eventually touched Rs 3610/- per 10 gms. on the 11th December 97 which was the lowest in the past twelve years. Let us catch up the planetary movements during this period and track down the celestial factors w hich were responsible in causing such a phenomenal fall in the gold values. The Sun is the ruling planet of gold. In addition, Ju piter and M ars also influ ence the gold m arkets. The nnkshatras having dominance over the precious metal are

figured out in table 46. The signs which are mainly involved in this gamut are Leo, Aries and Scorpio. On 14th August 97, the Sun entered in Leo sign and li/Ъ fJli I I l i t prices of gold showed marginal rise and touched Rs. 4200/per 10 gm s on the 2 7 th A u g u st '97. F u rth er, on 9th September97, the Sun formed an opposite aspect with Jupiter and Mars, and also caused a Square aspect on Neptune. Both Opposite and Square aspects are the bearish aspects so are the Jupiter and Neptune planets. Again on the 29th August 1 97, Mars gets engaged in a Sextile aspect with Mercury followed by the conjunction of the Sun with the Mercury on the 31st August' 97. Mercury with Sextile aspect also brings about the fall in Gold markets. In the month of September' 97, Mars formed a Square and Sextile aspects with Jupiter on the 5th and the Sun on the 9th. Mars also gets Sextile aspect from Neptune on the 24th and the Sun to receive the same aspect from Pluto on the next day i.e., 25th September' 97. During October 1 97, Jupiter caused a Sextile aspect on Mars on the 16th and Venus on the 19th and the Sun's Square aspect with Neptune on the 20th and Uranus on the 28th brought down the gold prices below Rs 4000/- per lOgms. Similar types of bearish aspects viz., Jupiter in Sextile with Saturn on the 15th and the Sun also Sextile with Neptune on the 19th in the month of November' 97 kept the prices of gold below Rs 3700/- per 10 gms towards the end of November 97. Finally, it plunged to Rs 3600/- on the 11th December' 97 when the Sun and Jupiter formed a Sextile aspect between them. This scenario, if is traced through Sarvatobhodra Chakra, it will not only reaffirm but also minutely show the effects.

August-December 1997
From the above Sarvatobhadra Chakra, the transiting, position of only relevant planets along with the dates of transits are shown. Jupiter is the planet of expansion and plenty. Its transit in Dhanista nakshatra, wThich is a first rated nakshatra in respect of gold values, had set strong bearish trends in gold markets with effect from 13th April 97. Jupiter returned in Shravann nakshatra on the 8 th August 1 97 in a retrograde state caused a powerful mutual vedhas with Sun and in the process Leo and C apricorn signs also came under this vedha which continued to drop gold prices. The transit of the Sun in Pnrvn

Phalguni nakshatra on the 30th August' 97 where it conjoined with Rahu brought steadiness in the gold prices. Il was ill this time, that gold regained position and touched back tin* price of Rs 4200/-. This level did not reach in the rest of the year 1997. Mercury played second fiddle in the scheme of things and aggravated the slumpness in the gold markets. Mercury remained in Chitra and Swati nakshatras between 11th and 28th October' 97 and inflicted opposite vedhas on Purva Bhadra and Shatbisha nakshatras. Both these nakshatras rule gold and Mercury being bearish planet, caused slump in gold prices. On the 14th Novem ber 1 97, Mercury from its position in Jyeshta nakshatra, posted vedha on Pnshya nakshatra which was already under vedha from Rahu posited in Purva phalguni n akshatra since 31st Ju ly 1 97. The rules (v) and (vi) of M ercury's vedhas are relevant. In the month of September and October 1 97, Mars also visited Anuradha and Jyeshta nakshatras and caused vedhas on Ashlesha and Pushya nakshatras. Further, Mars attained accelerated motion from the middle November 1 97 to the beginning of January 1 98 and transited Abhijita and Shravana nakshatras and therefrom caused vedhas on Shatbisha and Dhanisha nakshatras which perpetuated the bearish trends. Infact, placement of Jupiter in these nakshatras never allowed the gold markets to make recoveries. There are numerous other astrological factors which could aptly be applied in support of market behaviour in respect of a particular item. But due to space constrains, il is not possible to figure out all of them. The prices of gold quoted over here is for 22 carat as ruled at Mumbai.

carrii'd a news item to say; "silver at two-year high, gold rebounds" Silver prices went up to Rs 8272 per kg gaining Rs 670/- just in one day in Mumbai markets. The silver prices plummeted lowest at Rs 6300 per kg on 7th August' 97. In June' 97, it ruled at Rs 6800 while in July' 97, it remained in the vicinity of Rs 6400/- per kg. In the later part of August' 97, it showed a study rise and got stablised at Rs 6890. Between 3rd and 16th September' 97, it followed an era of marginal ups and downs and crossed the mark of Rs 7000/- in the second fortnight of November' 97. A month later i.e., on the 11th December' 97 it crossed Rs 8270/- level and settled at Rs 8270/- gaining almost Rs 600/ - per kg in one day. With minor set backs, it went over to Rs 8400 towards the end of the same month. Let us analyse the trend astrologically. On 3rd and 11th D ecem ber' 97, V enus and M ars respectively entered Capricorn sign where Jupiter, Uranus and Neptune were already stationed aspecting Cancer sign. On 11th December' 97, the Moon also transited Cancer sign. This configuration of weighty planets in bullish sign and Cancer signifying silver, chartered heavy spurts in this metal.

Although, Jupiter is highly bearish planets, it could not bring any damping effects against volatality of other planets. On 7th December' 97, Mercury which regulates silver market acquired retrograte motion and on 1 1 th, it sets in th e w e st in the sam e state. The p o sitio n of M ercury gravitated the markets of silver to a new heights with the result the prices of the metal made a quantum jump on 17th December '97.

sign which further raised the silver which crossed Rs HbUO/ - on the 30th of the same month. The planetary effects on silver markets started favouring and gave steady rise with corrections and prices rose from Rs 6300/- on 8 th August' 97, to Rs 8515/- on 30th December' 97. On 9th August' 97, Venus and the Moon got conjunct w ith R ahu and M ars re s p e c tiv e ly , w hich im p elled bullishness. Both the Moon and Venus rule silver and their conjunction sets the rising trends and its prices started showing up from this date and crossed Rs 6800/- mark on 28th A u g u st' 97. T he p rices co n tin u e to rise due to conjunction of the Moon with Mercury and the Sun on 1st Septem ber 1 97, Rahu on 2nd September’ 97 and with Venus on 5th September' 97. It is stated in Chapter-7 that Venus and the Sun do not get apart beyond 48 degrees and hence it could only form conjunction and Semi-Square aspects. The later aspect stays for a very long time and provide a good market for silver. On the 9th October 97, the Sun formed this aspect with Venus and the silver prices went over Rs 7400/- per kg. The price rise in silver was due to Venus joining Mars, Uranus and Neptune in Capricorn and aspecting Cancer sign but the conjunction of the Moon with Pluto on the 27th and Mercury on the 28th and also with Uranus, Neptune and Venus on the 31st December 97, pulled up the silver prices over Rs 8500/- per kg. By assessing the same position on Sarvatobhadro Chaknt, the price progression of silver m arkets get rem arkably affirmed.

In the above Sarvatobhadra Chakra, the planetary format for the month of December 97 has been charted down. The exact dates of transits of the planets in various nakshatras are shown alongside. In the succeeding part, the vedhas significant to the silver markets are analysed and synthesised with the buoyant behaviour of the said market. The rules of vedhas itemized for each planet previously in this chapter lend ample support to the phenomenal surge in the silver prices. On the 6 th December 1 97 the Moon entered Purva Bhadra nakshatra conjoining with Ketu who was already posited over

there. This sets the tone of ponderous spurts in silver prices there after, as both the Moon and Purva Blmdra nakshatra rule silver and Ketu denotes bullishness [Rule (vi) Moon], In lari, the entry of Mars on the same day in Uttra Ashada nakshatra in its accelerated speed posted LHS vedha on Purva Bhailra nakshatra and in the process formed mutual vedha with Ketu which brought ascendancy over the silver markets [Rule (vi) Rahu/ Ketu] and made excellent recoveries from slackening trends witnessed in the preceding 3 to 4 days. On 16th December 1 97, Ketu retrogrades to Shatbisha nakshatra and little before that Venus moved in A bhijita nakshatra ie., on 16th Dec. 97 and also assumed accelerated motion and thereby got engaged in a mutual vedha with Ketu [Rule(v) Venus]. This bestowed continuity to the rising trend. Further, on December' 15th, the Sun sojourned Moola nakshatra and caused vedha on Revati nakshatra and at the same time engaged Saturn positioned in this nakshatra in a mutual vedha. In the process, Capricorn and Aquarius signs also fell under the cross Vedhas [Rule (iv) Sun and (i & v) Saturn]. Besides, Capricorn its being a highly bullish sign further set uptrend in the silver markets. Note : The prices of silver quoted over here is for .999 grade of silver as prevalent in Mumbai Market. Share Markets : On the 5th December 1 96, BSE Sensex index touched its low at 2713 point and there after it showed a continued uptrend with Sensex touching 3111 towards the end of that year. In December 1 97, too the index reached a low ol 324H and thereafter, it made marginal recoveries. The oracle ol BSE call these as logical trends. According to them, during the end of calender year, traditional foreign institution.d investors are seen booking gains on stocks in order to m .tk e income distribution to their clients.

In the 'W all S treet'. As a result, selling starts early in I )ucember month and coincides with the year drawing to close. However, this causes minor alterations but has no sacrosanctity as there are also other m arket forces which dictate their terms. Like in the year 1997, this situation was accentuated as a result of the slide in the South Asian Markets. Sharp depreciation of currencies in these parts, led investors to fear the worst. Besides, in India the uncertainty in political scenario and fear of mid term poll delivered the fatal blow. January ’97 exhibited similar trend. The Sensex index started picking up and the rise was accelerated during the first fortnight of January 1 97 gaining more than 500 points. The Sensex index touched the peak mark at 4568 on the 6 th August' 97 for the year and was left little short of the highest mark of 4646 points touched in September 1 94. The decline started there after and Sensex index reached the bottom line at 3320 on the 11th December 1 97. Infact, the sharper drop in Sensex index was registered in the 3rd week of October 1 97, with hardly any recoveries. The above was the point of view of the savants of stock m arkets. T hey draw sam e lo g ica l co n clu sio n s but in speculatory business such findings more often fail than succeed. The astrological factors which do not remain the same in the corresponding month of every year, hold better answers for these startling sways which are registered in the id e n tical p erio d of the y ear. Let us now exp lo re the astrological phenomena in the whole gamut. There are three dominant planets whose combinations seems to determine the rise and fall of the stock markets. They are Ju p ite r, Saturn and U ranus. Ju p ite r signifies expansion, opportunity and optimism. Saturn gives value for money and also is the fear factor in the market while Uranus relates to innovativeness and strategies. Above all, the study of Mars is also necessary as it triggers the trends and brings

volatility in the market. The planetary com binations ol Moon, Venus and Uranus are used in predicting short term changing trends in stock markets. Further, the conjunctions of Moon, Jupiter and Neptune had increased the specula lory activities.

On 1st August' 97, the Saturn acquired retrograde motion in Pisces sign. The position of Mars in Virgo sign continued its influence. On the same day, Saturn formed Quincunc aspect with Rahu. Jupiter and Saturn cast similar aspects on Venus on the 6 th and 9th August 1 97 respectively. Quincunc (150°) aspect is the most bullish in character. It has been stated that when majority of planets are in bullish signs, a brisk activity in share market is visible and the prices of stock shares are surged to a new height. On 6 th August 1997 the Moon, Mercury, Venus and Rahu were posited in Leo sign, and Jupiter, Uranus and Neptune were in Capricorn sign. Both these signs are of highly bullish characters and thus Sensex Index crossed 4500 mark. The entry of Venus in Virgo on 12th August' 97 kept up the buoyancy of Sensex. In the month of October' 97, three ponderous planets nam ely Jupiter, Uranus and N eptune reverted to direct course, respectively on the 8 th, the 14th and the 9th of the month. This made both bullion and stock markets to go bearish. Particularly, Jupiter in Capricorn kept the share business on a dull note. Jupiter acquiring direct motion after 1 2 0 days of retrogression, slumped the stock liiarkets world over. Neptune reversion added to chaos as this planet deals with stocks in general. Sextile aspect which is a bearish aspect occured between Uranus-Mars and Neptune-Venus on the 5th October' 97. Again on 12th October' 97, Uranus formed Sextile aspect with Venus and on 16th October' 97, Jupiter caused Sextile aspect on Mars. Finally, on 26th October' 97, Uranus posting a Semi Square aspect (bearish) on 26th October 97 signalled slump in stock markets which continued during rest of the year 1997 with slight recoveries in Sensex index in between. Also in C hapter-5, the sig n ificatio n s of n akshatras in m undane matters have been enumerated. Some of nakshatras have main role in the stock shares, stock exchanges and their operators.

The Sun posted vedhas on Aries sign when it moved in Anuradha nakshatra 0 1 1 19th November '97. Again on its transit in Moola nakshatra on 15th December '97, it caused vedha on Capricorn and Aquarius signs. Besides, Revati nakshatra in which Saturn is posited over there registered fall in share prices and Sensex index touched 3320 points [Rule (iv) Sun]. Incidentally, Revati is also a bearish nakshatra. On 31st October 97 Mars entered Moola nakshatra and just about the same time attained accelerated motion and caused vedha on Revati nakshatra and got engaged in mutual vedha with retrograde Saturn. M oola also denotes foreign stock and exchanges Around this time many foreign stock exchanges plunged causing flu tters in the stock markets [Rule (iv) Mars] world over. Again, w ith the position of Mars in U ttar Ashadu nakshatra with effect from 6 th December '97 exchanged vedha with Ketu positioned in Purva Bhadra nakshatra. This vedha accentuated bearish trend in the share markets [Rule (v) Mars], The mutual vedha between Mars and Ketu continued w hen they m oved to A bh ijita and S hatbisha n aksh atras respectively. W hen Mars transited Shravan nakshatra on 25th D ecem ber '97 and caused vedha on Ju piter in Dhanisha nakshatra, the Sensex index started showing up. [Rule(xii) Mars] and towards the end of the year 1997, the BSE Sensex index crossed 3700 point mark. The preceding typical examples evidently show that the year 1997 was punctuated by turbulent and acrimonious movements both in stock and bullion markets, not only in India but also in the major countries of the world.

Many astrologers are practising comm ercial astrology. Most o f them have customarily inherited and kept it as a guarded secret for obvious reasons. This perhaps is the first serious attempt to unfold the niceties o f this inadequately discussed subject. In this book, the author endeavoured to embody such materials which provide
comprehensive
and
cogent
information
to
impart
meaningful support to the speculators and investors alike, to help taking timely and prudent decisions to accentuate gains and avert losses. The thrust o f the book is to demonstrate the efficacious use o f the complex ancient discerning tools like Sarvatobhadra Chakra and others in presaging market tendencies in a simple way. Celestial phenomena that command over wide array o f terrestrial events including social commercial values have been brought out in a succinct manner. An ardently written prolific work on the whole gamut o f business astrology duly blended with other congruous factors to make it a complete yet compact reading material on the subject. Every aspect o f it is perfectly synthesised and portrayed in a lucid form.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR The author is a retired Executive Director o f the country s one o f the largest Public Sector Undertakings. He is currently working as a Senior Vice President in a leading business house. MBA and diploma in marketingfrom U.K., he also obtained diploma in Jyotish Visharad from ICAS New Delhi and is a fervent reader o f astrology which he is pursuing as a hobbyfo r over a decade.
