FROM THE DESK OF THE EDITOR EDITORIAL COLUMN Esteemed Readers The Central Government under the Prime Ministership of Dr. Manmohan Singh was tested on the floor of the house on 22 July 2008, but it survived the test and comfortably won by 17 votes basically due to absenteeism and cross voting by members from the Opposition, mainly Bharatiya Janata Party. The ruling coalition UPA had made mockery of the democracy when the Opposition shown proof of bribery in the form of cash on the floor of the house. The survival of the Ministry was foretold by Mr. Rajendra N. Nimje, IAS, who is currently serving as Addl. Chief Electoral Officer, Government of A.P., by using the oath taking chart of Dr. Manmohan Singh into consideration. Mr. Nimje is also the President of the K.P. Astrological Forum at Hyderabad. The Central Government was formed on 22nd of May 2004 and 5.34 p.m. at New Delhi when Dr. Manmohan Singh has taken oath as Prime Minister. According to Mr. Nimje, the prospects of the government were sealed at this moment. Kudos to Mr. Nimje. The principle pointed out by Mr. Nimje is that when the Dasha / Bhukti / Antara lords somehow connected to houses of longevity, the life is not threatened. The world is celebrating Gokula Ashtami or Sri Krishna Jayanti during this month on Krishna paksha Ashtami and in Rohini star The Editorial Board wishes the esteemed readers a happy and prosperous Sri Krishna Jayanti. Yours sincerely,

MK VISWANATH Editor

Cricket Match Prediction Using KP Prashna Principles-1 Last year, which is during Cricket World Cup 2007 time, I was asked by some of my friends about the cricket match predictions. I have applied the KP principles using Prashna and got some good results. I also failed few times applying the same principles, which means, we need to work out for more precise principles by taking more such exercises. So I have decided to write few articles on Cricket Match prediction I have made and wrote in a Yahoo discussion group last year, I will provide the necessary references to my earlier prediction. I am taking two cases for this article and continue more in next month. Chart-I) Bangladesh v India at Port of Spain, ICC World Cup Prashna: "Will India win?": Horary Number : 66 The Prashna Details are:Date: March 15, 2007 Time: 9:34:43 PM Time Zone: 5:00:00 (West of GMT) Place: 93 W 20', 44 N 53' USA Principle applied: 1st house is self, 6th house is winning enemy and 11th house is desire to succeed. So, if the 1st Cuspal Sub Lord signifies 1st, 6th, or 11th houses then the Team will win otherwise it will loose. 1) Moon is lord of 1st /2nd and placed in 7th and signifying 1st ,2nd and 7th houses. So the question is genuine and sincere hence I am going forward to analyze this chart. 2) Lagna Sub Lord is Sat (retrograde now) and Sat is in the Star of Mer. Mer is placed in 8th and conjoin with Rahu. This Mer is signifying 4,7,8,11 and 12th houses. The interesting thing is the conjoining of Mer with Rahu to be taken into consideration too. So This Rahu is Signifying 5,6,9 and 10th houses. So the summary is : India will NOT win. The actual result was same as predicted. The above analysis was posted in a yahoo group before the event took place and you can read at the following link :

So the question is genuine and sincere hence I am going forward to analyze this chart. 2) Lagna Sub Lord is Mer and Mer is in the Star of Mar. Mar is placed in 7th and conjoin with Moon, the lagna Sub Lord. This Mar is signifying 1,2 7, 11th houses. So the summary is: It will be another tie / draw resulting Pakistan NOT to win this match.

Medium Life (Madhyama Ayurdhaya) – KP Analysis OM GAJAANANAM NAMAMHYAM During the KP Astrologers Forum’s fortnightly meeting conducted on 13-July-2008 chaired by Sri Rajendra Nimje, IAS. (Addl. Chief Electoral Officer of Govt. of AP), 10th profession and 8th house matters relating to accidents and life dangers through medium longevity yogas were discussed in detail.

KP RULES: For long life ascendant cuspal sublord should connect to houses 1,3,5,9 &10 without connecting to Maraka & Bhadhaka houses. Longevity is determined by 1st, 8th & 3rd cusps, 1st cusp is the native 8th cusp ayusthaana, 8th to 8th is 3rd which is a supporting houses for longevity. The vyayasthaanas for 8th & 3rd becomes negative, which is defined as Maraka Houses i.e. 7th & 2nd. For Ascendants of Moveable signs 11th, Fixed signs 9th and Dual signs 7th is Bhadhaka houses which is detrimental to longevity. Any connection to Maraka and Bhadhaka house would reduces the longevity. However if any of the Maraka or Bhadhaka is in 12th bhava from their house reduces the propensity of the evilness of the planet. However in practice, if a planet (2nd n 7th Maraka & Bhadhaka Planet) is also signifies its 12th house i.e. 1st & 6th for 2n7, when Bhadhaka for Moveable sign 10th, Fixed sign then 8th house are 12th houses to their cuspal lordship hence dilutes its negative strength and does not harm the longevity but giving illhealth to the native. If the 1st cuspal sublord signifies Maraka houses 2 & 7 along with Bhadhaka house indicates short life span. If 1st cuspal sublord signifies 1,5, 10 or 9 not connected to Bhadhaka and Maraka houses gives long life. Medium life is promised if lagna sublord connects apart from the above houses to 6, 8 & 12 along with Marakasthana. Madhyama Ayurdhayam (Medium Life) is indicated longevity upto 60 years. The Rules given by Guruji Sri KSK and reiterated by Sri Tinwin ji in his KP House Grouping Part I published in Ezine October 2007 and Sri Kanak Bosmia (Editor of KP Ezine) Article about Balarishta Yoga. The various combinations for Medium Ayur Yoga deals with longevity is as follows: 1. Lagna Sublord connection to 1,5,9,10 & 6,8,12 indicates Middle life. Here we have to note one point,which is particular to Bhadhaka Lord. Asc. Moveable sign then 11th house is not favourable only 9/10 houses holds good, Asc. Fixed sign then 9th is baneful only 10/11 houses holds good. Asc. Dual sign then as said above, 1,5,9.10 connection to 6,8,12 indicates Middle Life.

ASTROVISION ISSUE # 8 AUG 2008 2. Lagna Sub lord connection to 6, 8, 12, Karaka Mars (Rahu, Kethu, Saturn) leads to accidents and connection to Maraka and Bhadhaka becomes fatal. Basing on the above principles of Madhyama Ayurdhayam (Middle Life) three Birth Charts of the natives who are having medium longevity were discussed hereunder.

Article lost ……….and found? If I remember it correctly, it was a night of 13th June 2007. After the dinner I was watching TV. Suddenly there was electricity failure. Though the black out due to load shedding is very common, this was not the time for power shedding. I was lying down on the bed but not sleepy. Unexpectedly the phone bell rang. “Hello, Baba (means father in Marathi) How are you? And what are you doing?” It was a call from my daughter from Delhi. We had a routine talk for about 2/3 minutes. But that day from her voice I felt that every thing was not normal. Probably she was worrying about something. “Are you OK? Any worries?” I asked her. After repeated inquires, she came out with the truth. “I probably misplaced or lost my golden ornament before 4/5 days back. I searched at all possible places in the house but did not find it. May be it is stolen by maid servant.” I said, just to console her, “Think quietly and try to remember, you will definitely get it.” But suddenly it struck me that I should try for an astrological solution. So I asked her to give a KP number within 249. She gave the number 49. Since there was no electricity, I told her that I will call her next day. The horary chart was prepared on 14th June 2007 at 13:49:09 IST at Thane (Lat. 19 N 12, Long. 72 E 58) After detailed study of this horoscope I immediately called her and conveyed my prediction that (1) It is not stolen (2) You will find it in the house itself (3) But not before 17th June 2007. She called me on morning of 17th June to tell that she found it in the house exactly as predicted. Now let us go through the analysis, which is based on “Four Step Theory”. The second house indicates the jewelry about which we want to find out. The Rule is, if 11th cuspal sub lord is strong significator of house 2 the native will get the lost property (in the conjoined period of the significators of houses 2 and 11.) In this case 11th sub is Rahu. Its 4 step significations are: PLANET : RAHU Itself :-------------Rahu:- (9) It's N.Swami :-------- Rahu:- (9) It's Sub :------------ Venus:- 2 5 It's Sub's N.Swami :-- Saturn:- (2)

Rashi-Swami Saturn (2) (8) 9 Rashi-Swami Saturn (2) (8) 9 12 (8) 9

It can be seen that Rahu strongly signifies 2nd house on first, second and 4th step. This is sure indication that the article under consideration will be found. Secondly, Rahu being in Aquarius is an agent of Saturn. So it has to give result of the houses signified by Saturn also. Let us see Saturn’s signification:

PLANET : SATURN Itself :-------------Saturn:- 2 8 9 It's N.Swami :-------- Mercury:- (1) 1 (4) It's Sub :------------ Jupiter:- (6) (7) 10 It's Sub's N.Swami :-- Mercury:- (1) 1 (4)

Saturn strongly signifies houses 1 (favorable house) and 4 (suggesting that the article is in house itself) So the article will definitely be found in the house. Now the next question will be when? We will have to study the DBAS lords in order to pinpoint the time of fructification of the event. DBAS at the time of judgment were (as per AstroKundali s/w): Moon Dasha …………………………………… up to 18-03-2011 Mercury bhukti……………… from 17-01-2007 to 16-06-2008 Venus Antara ………………. from 30-04-2007 to 25-07-2007 Jupiter Sookshma …………… from 12-06-2007 to 24-06-2007 Saturn Prana from 15-06-2007 to 16-06-2007 Ruling planets at the time of judgment were: Asc Moon Day

Virgo Taurus Thursday

19-39-44 18-20-34

Mer – Moon Ven – Moon Jupiter

Common DBA lords and the ruling planets (Moon, Mercury and Venus) are fast moving planets. Therefore it can be concluded that the article will be found in Jupiter sookshma i.e.12-06-2007 to 24-06-2007. In this Jupiter sookshma, Jupiter pranadasha was already over and Saturn period was till 16-06-2007. This Saturn period was not favorable for three reasons (1) Saturn is a delaying planet (2) it is posited in 2nd house (3) it is not a strong significator of houses 2 and/or11. Then follows Mercury period, which is favorable. So I declared that the native will get the article on 17th June 2007 because transits of DBA lords were also favorable on that day. Incidentally, on 17th June morning Asc was cancer in the star of Mercury. It is worthwhile to note that if the question is solved with the help of Ruling Planets only, one will arrive at the same timing.

KP makes Birth time rectification possible The most perplexing and intriguing question, which challenged Astrologers from the time of birth of Astrology, is the correct birth time. This typical issue crosses the mind of the Astrologer only in the case of natal horoscopes, whereas in Prashna, etc. this does not cause any problem. The time of birth reported mostly could be the biological time of birth like first appearance of head of the baby, separation of the baby from the mother’s womb, disconnection of the umbilical chord, or the first cry of the baby and so on. An astrologer should always depend upon the planets to guide him / her for the correct birth time. There are several methods of birth time rectifications prescribed and advocated by ancient seers from time to time. Late Prof. KS Krishnamurti, the propounder of KP System, had brought out the beautiful and most reliable system of BTR using ruling planets. Based upon this dependable theory, I had attempted a case of BTR, ruling planets of which were jotted down. Rectification of birth time illustrated below is of one of my friends’ son from Jaipur, Rajasthan. Time of birth provided was 2.30 am on 28-Mar-1984, Jaipur, Rajasthan. Please note Rahu was in the nakshatra of Chandra and in the sub of Sani. As per given birth time his lagna falls in Dhanu rasi. In that case the lagna lord is Guru, lagna star lord is Ravi and lagna sub lord is Rahu. First successful attempt Step 1 I took up his case on 9th may 2007 at around 11.33 a.m. at Mumbai. The ruling planets then: lagna sign lord is Chandra Lagna star lord is Sani (strongest) Chan sign lord is Sani Chan star lord is Chan Day lord is Budh (weakest) The lagna sub lord is Ravi, so this confirms the birth nakshtram of the boy as Uthrashada. Rahu in Aquarius represents sani and is in own star and in the sub of chandr. Budh the weakest significator is in the star of Ravi. So among the Ruling planets we select Sani, Chan , Rahu and Ravi. Step 2 Since Guru is not a ruling planet, dhanu rasi cannot be the lagna, so lagna has to be placed in Makaram. Moving the lagna to 00.28 in makara rasi , we see the lagna in the sign of sani, star of Ravi and in the sub of Rahu. Also, Chandr is in Makara rasi. This gives double confirmation. Please note Rahu was again in Sani and sub of moon in the horary chart as well. So time of birth is rectified as 02.33.00 am

Second successful attempt on the same chart Time of 2nd attempt , 11 May 2007 10.53.00 am , Mumbai. Step 1

The ruling planets

lagna sign lord is Chan Lagna star lord is Sani (strongest) Chandr sign lord is Sani Chandr star lord is Rahu Day lord is Sukr (weakest) Sukr, the weakest ruling planet is in Rahu star. So Rahu represents sukr The lagna sublord is sani, and sani is aspecting ravi by 10th aspect, so this confirms the birth nakshtram of the boy as uthradam (Utharashada) So among the Ruling planets we select Sani, Chandr, Rahu and Ravi. Step 2 Since Guru is not a ruling planet Dhanu cannot be the lagna, So lagna has to be placed in Makaram. Moving the lagna to 00.28 in Makara rasi, we see the lagna in the sign of sani, star of Ravi and in the sub of Rahu. Also, Chandra is in Dhanu rasi, ruled by Sani. This gives double confirmation. Please note, Rahu was again in the sign of sani and sub of moon in the horary chart. So time of birth is rectified as 02.33.00 am. OM GAM GANAPATHAYE NAMAH !

9.

If a planet is in a particular sign, whose depositors are strong then you can select that planet.

10. Planet in conjunction with a strong significators is most favorable 11. The relationship between Dasa lord and bhukthi lord; is most important. 12. If bhukthi lord is in any way connected to 6th,8th or 12th counted from Dasa lord or in negation to the houses concerned, then that particular planet will not allow materialize, similarly anthra lord to bhukthi lord, and sookshma lord to anthra lord. 13. A planet in Conjunction or any aspect with Dasa lord or bhukthi lord and also the star lord of those planets who is stronger or in more occurrences will define the day of the event. (Normally the day of event will be the bhukthinatha of the star lord). 14. Sun should transit in the sign of dasanatha or bhukthinatha and in the star of dasanatha or bhukthinatha, which will indicate of the period. 15.

17. Now look into transit of anthar lord as well as sooksma lord if they are also in favorable significators then the event will fructify. 18. It is also necessary to note the strength of planet in navamsa chart or in relevant divisional chart such as drekkana, Chathuramsa etc. 19.

While judging, the profit will be from short term or long term can be seen through cuspal sub of 5 and 12 respectively. If this sub signifies 2 or 6 or 11 then you will earn profit in DBA of these houses. Houses 1, 3 and 10 are also supportive houses for gain, whereas 4-5-8-12 houses show losses. Now we will judge whether person will get benefit in short term (this term is depends on person to person but as per taxation rules it is before one year) For this we will have to judge 5th cuspal sublord, who is Moon. Now let us see its signification. (figures of houses shown in bracket are strong significator of that house. Only strong signification of house offers the results is the main rule of 4 step theory) PLANET : MOON Itself :-------------- Moon:- (7) 6 It's N.Swami :-------- Venus:- (5) 4 (9) Cusp Yuti: (6) It's Sub :------------ Rahu:- (12) Rashi-Swami Saturn (7) It's Sub's N.Swami :-- Mars:- (7) (3) (10) Itself aspects :------ 1

Signification of 1-3-6-10 houses shows that person may get short term benefit from these shares. Now let us check that whether he will get benefit from long term. For this we will have to judge 12th cuspal sublord and it is Jupiter. Let us see it’s signification. PLANET : JUPITER Itself :-------------- Jupiter:- 11 2 11 It's N.Swami :-------- Venus:- (5) 4 (9) Cusp Yuti: (6) It's Sub :------------ Saturn:- (7) (1) 12 Conj.Mars (7)(3)(10) It's Sub's N.Swami :-- Ketu:- (6) Rashi-Swami Moon (7) 6 Itself aspects :------ 5 3 7 Jupiter signifies 6-1-10-3 houses, but main house 11 and 2 are absent in this signification so person will get benefit from short term instead of long term. While judging these 5 and 12th sub we will come to know that person will opt for the medium gains. He may not get huge profits from these shares. Now let us check when he will get benefit after selling it. For this we will have to consider Dasa, Bhukti and Antara. At the time of judgement Venus Dasa Rahu Bhukti was upto 31-10-2009. Let us check signification of Venus. PLANET : VENUS Itself :-------------- Venus:- 5 4 9 Cusp Yuti: (6) It's N.Swami :-------- Jupiter:- (11) (2) 11 It's Sub :------------ Moon:- (7) 6 It's Sub's N.Swami :-- Venus:- (5) 4 (9) Cusp Yuti: (6) Itself aspects :------ 11 Venus signify 2-6-11 houses strongly. Now let us check signification of Bhukti lord Rahu.

AUG 2008 (1) 12

So Rahu signify 1-3-2-6-10 houses thus completes the chain. Now to know about Antara, since Venus is signifying 2-6-11 houses, we will opt for Venus Antara to get benefits. Venus anatara operates from 3-10-2008 to 4-04-2009. While choosing sookshma period we will choose Sun and its signification. PLANET : SUN Itself :-------------- Sun:- (5) 7 It's N.Swami :-------- Jupiter:- (11) (2) 11 It's Sub :------------ Saturn:- (7) (1) 12 It's Sub's N.Swami :-- Ketu:- (6) Rashi-Swami Moon (7) Itself aspects :------ 11

6

Sun signify 2-6-11-1 houses, so the said person will sell his shares during sun sookshma i.e. from 3-11-2008 to 12-11-2008. While judging this query, the share price was Rs.157 and currently it has appreciated to 10% more. I hope this share will cross or nearby Rs.200 during the period mentioned above. Disclaimer: the gain in share market is depends on the person’s chart. Writer will not be responsible for any losses made due to the reference of this article.

The examination for the final year Intermediate course is likely to be held on March 2008. The Entrance Examination for the Engg. course is like to be held in May 2008 and admission during June-July 2008. The DBA that shall operate during the above period shall be Sat-Mer-Mon and Sat-Mer-Mar. Saturn who is the Dasha lord is conjoined Rahu, who is in Moon star. Hence Saturn VMD agrees for the event. Bhukti lord is Mercury. Moon is in the sub of Mercury. Hence Bhukti lord also agrees for the event. Antara of Sun will run from Feb to April 08. Thereafter, Antara of Moon will run from April 08 to June 08 and subsequently antara of Mars will run from June to August 08. Sun is in the sub of Saturn, who is connected to the event. Both Moon and Mars also do agree for the event. Hence there is no interruption to the Intermediate examination, Entrance Examination and admission to an Engineering College. BRANCH SELECTION. 4th CSL Moon is conjoined with Mars. Mars is stronger than Moon and will give a line of education toward Engineering. Mars is in the sub of Mercury. Moon is in the sub of Saturn. Hence it was indicated that the native would go in for Computer Science as the branch in the Graduate Engineering Course. Accordingly, the native got admitted into an Engineering College in Tamil Nadu during the last week of June 2008 and the branch selected was Computer Science. KP Rules are perfect.

A Note on Karma, Destiny and Free Will Logical Reasoning 1. If everything in one’s life is predestined at the moment of birth by past Karma, then the cent percent accuracy in the astrological prediction would be possible as per logical reasoning. There would be no benefit of knowing one’s future to help him avoid the foreseeable roadblocks, and to learn how to use time to his best advantage. 2. Based on the attached Quotes on Karma, Destiny Fate and Free Will, especially three kinds of Karmas, Sanchita, Parabdha, Agamithe, and three levels of karmic intensity, Dhruda, Dhruda – Adhruda, Adhruda, it seems that one does have the limited free will to somewhat enhance or mitigate the karmic life circumstances. Astrology can be helpful in this regard, as said by Varaha Mihira, “There is no better boat than a horoscope to help a man cross over the troubled sea of life." 3. However, the major positive or negative destined life experiences like wealth, marriage, longevity, may be unavoidable. Sanchita Karmas are assumed to form a constant karmic background that is not totally comprehensible by ordinary means. According to Varaha Mihira, after proper remedies, even in a bad period, if one falls in the mouth of a lion, he can come out unscratched. However, regarding his famous prediction of the death of his master King Vikramathithya’s son, he also said that no human remedies could avert the danger and save him from the jaws of death and that this unpleasant incident could not be altered. Similarly one may not evade his major Karma and fate by relocating the solar return chart. Quotes on Karma, Destiny and Free Will •

If the present life is totally conditioned or wholly controlled by our past actions, then certainly Karma is tantamount to fatalism or determinism or predestination. If this were true, free will would be an absurdity. Life would be purely mechanistic, not much different from a machine. Such a fatalistic doctrine is not the Buddhist law of Karma…Karma does not necessarily mean past actions. It embraces both past and present deeds. Hence in one sense, we are the result of what we were; we will be the result of what we are… The inequality that exists among mankind is the result of our own past actions and our own present doings (esp viriya 'effort' and panna 'wisdom'). We ourselves are responsible for our own. -Ven. Mahasi Sayadaw (The Theory of Karma)

•

Thus you shall be free from the bondage of actions, which bear good or evil results. With your mind firmly set on the yoga of renunciation, you shall become free and come to Me. -Bhagavad Gita 9:28

A child is born on that day and at that hour when the celestial rays are in mathematical harmony with his individual karma. His horoscope is a challenging portrait, revealing his unalterable past and its probable future results…The message boldly blazoned across the heavens at the moment of birth is not meant to emphasize fate—the result of past good and evil—but to arouse man's will to escape from his universal thralldom. What he has done, he can undo. None other than himself was the instigator of the causes of whatever effects are now prevalent in his life. He can overcome any limitation, because he created it by his own actions in the first place, and because he has spiritual resources, which are not subject to planetary pressure. -Swami Sri Yukteswar, guru of Paramahansa Yogananda (Autobiography of a Yogi)

•

Occasionally I told astrologers to select my worse periods, according to planetary indications, and I would still accomplish whatever task I would set for myself. It is true that my success at such times has been preceded by extraordinary difficulties. But my conviction has always been justified: faith in divine protection, and right use of man's God-given will, are forces more formidable than are influences flowing from the heavens. - Paramahansa Yogananda (Autobiography of a Yogi)

•

Karma operated through a series of births till moksha was attained. There were three categories of Karma- sanchita the accumulative, parabdha the operative portion being our destiny in this life and agamithe prospective – and the horoscope indicated the prarabdha. Therefore the astrological predictions were tendencies on their way to fulfillment…. In the ordinary man, free-will is not very strong. His actions in life will, therefore, correspond, to a very large extent, to the forecast given by his horoscope. But, in the case of persons of great spiritual development, there will be some variation, even though the general pattern will remain the same as indicated by the horoscope. In this world of relativity, neither fate nor free-will could be supreme. It is some sort of a conditional liberty which man enjoys. -B.V. Raman (Hindu Astrology and the West)

•

Karma can be divided broadly into three kinds: Dhruda (fixed) Karma that one has committed an inexcusable mistake or crime in the previous birth, Dhruda - Adhruda (fixed/non-fixed) Karma that one would have committed an excusable mistake in the previous birth, and Adhruda (non-fixed) Karma that the crime committed may be negligible…The majority of people commit excusable mistakes called Dhruda – Adhruda Karma. Therefore Shanti will be done by them with or without their knowledge and they will not ultimately suffer… Just like one has no choice about his birth time, place and his parents, so also there is nothing left in one’s hands. Everything is predestined. None can change it. Then only one can use this science…Astrology is a science. It needs further research and confirmation. There is no use for the word “Likely”. Everything is a certainty… It may be said, more as a compromise, that man is both a slave of the effects of his past deeds and is a free agent as regards his deeds, which are in no way directed to thwart, arrest, alter or in any way modify or remold the effects of his Karma. -K.S. Krishnamurti (KP Reader II & V)

The idea seems to be prevalent that astrology teaches fatalism. Those, however, who have studied the subject knows that it does not teach absolute fatalism. We are not utterly bound: neither, on the other hand, are we entirely free. We are limited and restrained by ignorance. All our misfortunes are the result of our imperfect knowledge. Had we even but a little more knowledge, there would be much less suffering. -Alan Leo

•

I believe that birth chart configurations, as well as, progressions, solar arcs, transits, etc. mirror the natural unfolding and building of soul and "psychological states" that can definitely result in fate, fated behaviors, and fated events. In our day-to-day lives we end up making choices and acting in ways that leave us stuck in mud-filled ruts, traveling down dead-end roads, and continually repeating destructive patterns of behavior that aren't 'working for us'. This is experienced as fate and fated behavior. --Carl Jung

The correct understanding of Vedic Astrology is that it is a blend of free will and fatalism. But this does not mean that astrology implies any fatalism or rigid determinism. -Chakrapani Ullal (Karma, Free Will, and Destiny)

•

Each individual's chart is simply a reflection of his destiny based on his/her past karma. And within the context of our pre-determined "destiny" - the confines of which all our experience will arise - we also have "free will" operating as to whether we personally elect to make a right or a left turn at every one of those experiences and crossroads. -Sandy Crowther

•

Karma refers to the totality of our actions and their concomitant reactions in this and previous lives, all of which determine our future. The conquest of karma lies in intelligent action and dispassionate reaction. Not all karmas rebound immediately. Some accumulate and return unexpectedly in this or other births. -Satguru Sivaya Subramuniyaswami (Dancing with Siva)

•

Freewill and destiny are ever existent. Destiny is the result of past action; it concerns the body… Freewill and destiny last as long as the body lasts. Whatever happens, happens as the result of one's past actions, of divine will and of other factors. -Ramana Maharshi (Karma and Destiny)

•

The will is not free, it is a phenomenon bound by cause and effect, but there is something behind the will, which is free… It is the coward and the fool who says this is his fate. But it is the strong man who stands up and says I will make my own fate. -Swami Vivekananda (“Freedom" from his Complete Works)

Neither is everything predestined, nor do we have free will in everything …Our previous acts determine our present life, and our present acts go to make our future.

FAMOUS QUOTES

John Fitzgerald Kennedy 35th US President

A child mis-educated is a child lost. A man does what he must - in spite of personal consequences, in spite of obstacles and dangers and pressures - and that is the basis of all human morality. A man may die, nations may rise and fall, but an idea lives on. A nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people. A nation which has forgotten the quality of courage, which in the past has been brought to public life is not as likely to insist upon or regard that quality in its chosen leaders today - and in fact we have forgotten. A young man who does not have what it takes to perform military service is not likely to have what it takes to make a living. Today's military rejects include tomorrow's hard-core unemployed. All free men, wherever they may live, are citizens of Berlin. And therefore, as a free man, I take pride in the words "Ich bin ein Berliner!". And so, my fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country. America has tossed its cap over the wall of space. As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them. Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future.

Mob 9440 495 904 Astro Profile – Friendship Friendship is a network that needs no recharge, no roaming, no activation, no signal problems, just make sure you don’t switch off your heart and discontinue friendship.

As astrologers we all come across several articles on Profession, Marriage, Education, Progeny and charts on Celebrity, Sanyasis, etc. I have hardly come across astro articles about charts or horoscopes being discussed on friendship astrologically. Hence on the eve of Friendship day, i.e. on 3rd August I examined two charts of my friends. They are good friends not only for me but also to others. I would like to see what attributes them astrologically to be liked by all of us. Friendship is a human bond where a person sees the opposite person as brothers and sisters, hence, astrologically 3rd house (younger brother, neighbour) 7th house (opposite person, partner,) and 11th house (elder brother, friends and associates) indicate friendship. Planetary wise, primarily Venus the planet of sharing and Moon the planet of emotion, play an important role. Secondarily, Mercury the planet promotes togetherness and Saturn the most coolest & selfless service planet, also play a vital role in friendship. Rasi wise all watery signs Cancer, Scopio and Pisces play an important role in human emotions. This apart, Virgo ( Hospitals, Nursing, Service to others) the 6th sign of natural zodiac play a crucial role. Hence I reemphasize that a chart of a native whose Asc., Moon, Venus connected with 3,7, & 11 , Watery signs would promote good friendship and is liked by one and all. In the light of the above principles I have analysed two charts of my good friends which are in tune with above said rules. Chart 1: DOB: 13th Sep 1972 TOB: 22.11 Hrs POB: Vijayawada Body

LORD KRISHNA, THE SUPREME GOD JANMASHATAMI SPECIAL This year the gokula (janma) ashtami or Sri Krishna Jayanti falls on 24th August 2008 when Moon reaches Rohini star during Krishna paksha Ashtami in Sravana (Simha) month. According to the software Jhora, Moon reaches Rohini at around 10.00 am on this day. Lord Sri Krishna of the Mahabharata fame, considered as the reincarnation of God, was born in Rohini star in Krishna paksha Ashtami in Sravana month. Krishna and the stories associated with him appear across the spectrum of Hindu philosophical and theological traditions. In the Bhagavat Gita, he is seen as the Supreme Person, the highest God, and reincarnation of Lord Mahavishnu. A lovely and boisterous child, a brother, a charioteer, a warrior, a disciple, a guru, a cowherd, a messenger, the beloved of the gopis... throughout his life, Krishna enacted so many roles— the whole time never forgetting that they were just that, roles, and that his true nature was eternal, ever blissful consciousness. In this way, he was able to remain detached and thus perform flawlessly, never allowing the smile to fall from his face. According to the birth details floating around, Lord Sri Krishna of the Mahabharat fame, was said to have been born on 19/20 July 3228 BC at 12.30 a.m. Midnight at Mathura, Near New Delhi, with the following nirayana planetary positions:

Let us make a humble effort as to what could these planetary combinations and positions teach us about the life of Sri Krishna and the events of that era.

BIRTH IN JAIL & HEAVY FLOODS Taurus was rising in Mars star Mrigashira with Moon in own star, Rohini. With the Asc lord (self) Venus in watery sign, Cancer, along with Rahu (jail) and Mars (military) would have definitely been the reason that Lord Krishna took birth in Jail when there were heavy floods. Late Prof. KS Krishnamurti says in his Reader 3 says that Varahamihira, Garga,Parasara, Kasyapa, Maya, Brihaspati all have discussed about the Moon’s conjunction with Rohini to predict the good and bad effects of rain. Therefore, Rohini indicates “rains”. FLUTE BLOWING. It is famously discussed from centuries about Lord Krishna’s flute blowing and thus attracting the gopikas. A flute is held with both the hands, placed on the lips after directing toward one side and blown to rhythm. Hence 2nd house (mouth or face), Airy sign (for blowing), 3rd house (arms), 5th house (creativity), Music (Venus), Gemini – a long ascension sign for a long object (flute), Mercury (both arms) should definitely get connected for the native to blow a flute to rhythm and enthrall the audience (gopikas). Mars is conjoined with Venus. Mars indicate no fear. Late Prof. KS Krishnamurti says in his Reader 3 that if the sub lord of the 5th house is connected to Leo or Aquarius, one will have taste in music. In the case of Lord Krishna the 5th lord Mercury is in Sun star and Sun is in Venus star. So the creativity aspect is covered. Mercury is lord of 5 and 2 signifying creativity and speech or mouth and an Airy sign, Gemini signifying blowing the flute. Venus is in connected to Mercury through Mars and Jupiter.

Mercury will signify both arms and Gemini will signify a long object since being a long ascension sign. Since Mars is connected with 3rd house and Venus, the native should have started blowing the flute to rhythm during Mars dasha itself, which commenced at the age of 7 years. It would have definitely continued through Rahu (conjoined with Venus) VMD, Jupiter (in 5th with Mercury) VMD, Saturn (in Mercury star) VMD, and Mercury (in 5th house) VMD.

QUARREL, COURAGE AND VALOUR Mars is the planet of courage, quarrel, aggression, etc. The Asc falls in Mars Star and Mars is placed in the house of courage along with Asc lord. This signifies how courageous Lord Krishna was. Mars an occupant of 3rd house (courage) in the star of Jupiter who occupies 5th house (intention) has definitely led Lord Krishna to persuade his cousins Pandavas to fight the war with Kauravas.

NAME AND FAME The Asc and Moon, who is also the dispositor of lagna lord, Venus, are connected to Jupiter. Sun is also in Venus star and in own house. Besides yogakaraka Saturn is aspecting the lagna and Moon. These combinations should make the native very popular and ever lasting fame.

FIGHT FOR JUSTICE Both Jupiter and exalted Mercury falls in the house of intelligence in Sun star make Lord Krishna always a straight-forward thinker, who always fight for justice. It could be seen how vigorously Lord Krishna fought for his cousins, Pandavas for only justifiable half of the Kingdom from Kauravas. MULTIPLE MARRIAGES 7th lord is Mars who is in Jupiter star and Jupiter is conjoined with 5th lord Mercury in 5th house (house of romance). Saturn is occupant of 7th house in Mercury star. Mars is conjoined with Venus and Rahu, who are in Saturn star. Although it was common for Kings in those times to marry more than one woman, the above combination signifies duplicity of wives. Rahu is conjoined with 7th lord Mars and is connected with Saturn. Saturn & Rahu connection with 7th house should make the native seek wedlock from outside the caste. It is known that Lord Krishna married Jambavathi, daughter of Jambavan, who was probably a tribesman. 7th lord Mars is in the star of Jupiter, who is occupant of house of romance (5th), which makes the person to marry his spouse after romance.

VRISHBHA AND ANGER Vrishabha means a bull, which is the name given for Taurus. The Asc falls in Mars star and Moon posited close the Ascendant in Moon star Rohini. Moon in Rohini makes others jealous on the native’s success. But this also makes the native to have fixed views, pre-meditated actions, extremely angry when provoked, etc. It is also a fact that if Mars and Mercury are connected, the whenever the native gets annoyed he will be shouting at his high volume like that of the roar of a lion. In KP the conjunction of Mars and Mercury is treated as Narasimha, the lion-man God. Mars is in the star of Jupiter and Jupiter is conjoined with Mercury. Asc lord (Venus) is in 3rd house and is involved in exchange yoga with 3rd lord Moon. This combination will indicate relation with more than one woman, fond of traveling, romantic disposition, etc.

INTUTION AND IMAGINATIVE SKILLS. Jupiter is conjoined with exalted Mercury and Jupiter’s aspect on the Moon, the reflector of mind, should make the native extremely imaginative, blessed with high intuitive power, having very good predictive skills. SUPREME INTELLIGENCE AND PREACHING OF GITA Preaching is always signified by 3rd house, since it is the house of communications. Jupiter is the karaka for wisdom and philosophy. Mars is placed in 3rd house in Jupiter’s star Punarvasu and Jupiter is occupant of 5th house, the house of intelligence. The advocting of Bhagavat Geeta by Lord Krishna is definitely linked to his communicative skills, intelligence, his expression and the impression (left by him). Conjunction of most beneficial and intelligent planets viz. Jupiter and Mercury falls in the 5th house of the Lord making him extremely intelligent with Mars becoming a significator make the Lord very tactful, revengeful and cunning. The benefics Jupiter and Mercury is placed in the house of intelligence, both from Asc and Moon can be seen as a classic example in what is stated in the paragraphs above. With the spiritual Ketu’s aspect on the 5th lord (vedic 9th aspect), 5th house and Jupiter lead Lord Krishna to the pinnacle of spiritual preaching through Bhagvat Gita. UNNATURAL DEATH BY HUNTER Lord Shri Krishna was killed by an arrow shot by a hunter called Jhara, who mistook Lord as a green-coloured bird. Hence the Lord did not have a natural death, and it was definitely treated as an unnatural death inflicted by a weapon. Sarvartha Chintamani Chapter 16, Stanza 6 by Venkatesh Sharma says that if the Ascendant and 8th house are devoid of strength and afflicted by 6th and Mars, the person will die in a battle or due to weapons. The Asc lord and 6th lord Venus is conjoined with Mars, the planet who could cause injuy. 8th lord is Jupiter in whose star Mars is posited. Besides, Mars is throwing its aspect on Ketu and who in turn aspects Jupiter, lord of 8th house, and Jupiter aspects the lagna. Venus being lord of 6th, will surely contribute her portion to cause injury. These combinations justify death of Lord Krishna by a weapon. In the epic Ramayana Bali was killed by Lord Shri Ram, in order to gain the support of his brother Sugreeva so that Sita mata could be released from the clutches of Ravana, the demon King of Lanka. Before his death Bali was then promised by Lord Ram that in treta yuga, you will get your chance. It is believed that Lord Sri Krishna was re-birth of the soul of Lord Sri Rama and Jhara the re-birth of Bali.

Observations on dusthanas: Part-05: Delineation hints Hints on assessments of dusthanas. Out of a lot said on the judgment of the dusthanas, following are the basics to be observed from the layman’s angle for a quick startup. Many more rules and their modalities other than the ones mentioned below may be possible and may be understood for a deeper dive. The Dusthanas have more of evil portfolios but still have a lot of positivities and thus the careful examination is required while assessing The Dusthanas. The Dusthanas are assessed principally from Lagna but may be assessed from Moon as well for additional inputs and this may sometimes help to substantiate the judgment. It is said that the Sun and Moon do not get blemished by the 8th lordship, but this blemish may still manifest to a good extent particularly in the considerations of medical diagnosis. The 6th house has been given the privilege of being both a dusthana and an upachaya house. While as dusthana, it is considered as bad but is rated good as upachaya and hence this house toggles between the good and bad depending upon how well this house is disposed in the chart. In nut and shell, if the 6th house and its lord are associated with the benefics, it behaves more as upachaya and confers well to the native. Similarly, if the 6th house and its lord is associated with the malefics, it acts more as dusthana producing evil results. The other remaining houses of dusthana (8-12th) have also the positive and negative traits attached to it and by the similar analogy as above, the positive traits may manifest if the house is under benefic influence and vice-versa. The 8th house is considered to be the most malefic out of the Dusthanas. It may be due to the fact that the 8th house also represents the other malefic parameters such as The 22nd drekkana and The 64th navamsha. The lords of these parameters may additionally contribute to deteriorate a situation. The dusthanas generally manifest the results as per the following modalities The lord of dusthanas is basically the functional malefics and they harm the house wherever they are posited. The dusthana lords may not be that bad to create a chaos in a chart by themselves alone. If they are strong, they would do well but would do harm if they are weak. Here, ashtakavarga strength considerations may immensely help. The real maleficience of the dusthana lords come to the surface when they are weak and be involved with the strong malefic influence. The dusthana lords harm the planets they aspect. In this situation, the houses owned by the aspected planets by the Dusthana lords get harmed under the shade of the karakatwa of the Dusthana.

The planets placed in dusthana also get tainted by the nature of the Dusthana where they are placed. The basic nature of those planets gets modulated by the attributes of the dusthana houses of their placement. Such a planet when gets linked to the other planet by aspect, imparts a part of the effect of the dusthana where it is placed. For example, a benefic planet such as Jupiter placed in the 8th house may get colored by the positive qualities of the 8th house such as deep inquisitiveness for research etc whereas the Mars may produce the aggressive desire of manipulation, scandals or may be instrumental in accidents or in surgical oriented complication. It is said that natural malefics behave favorably when placed in the 6th house on the pretext that the malefics destroy the evils indicated by the house of placement (6th house here). It may be noted that this may not be true if the malefics are weak or debilitated. The placement of malefics in the 6th house is not anyway favorable for the diseases and a lot of complications are seen to manifest from such placements. The best placement in the 6th house is that of Sun which makes a person robust in health, whereas Rahu may give a complicated disease. Looking on the other side of the coin, 6th house represents our visible enemies, thus the traits of the enemy gets decided by the planetary influence on the 6th house. Note the example of Late Pramod Mahajan, who had Mars in 6th house. It is evidently known that his enemies were very strong in general and he was killed by his own younger brother (Mars being the karaka of 6th house) by shooting (the way Mars operates). As is true for the other houses, the Dusthana lords placed in their own house make the dusthana strong. The 6th lord placed in the 6th house may make a person disease free and 8th lord in the 8th house may enhance the longevity. When the dusthana is aspected by a planet, the aspect may influence the karakatwas of the aspected dusthana with reference to the basic nature of the aspecting planet as well as by its nature of functional lordship. As an example, the Jupiter as 5th lord if aspects the 8th house, it may enhance the spiritual pursuits of a native while Jupiter as 6th lord if aspects the 8th house may give rise to the complicated disease but still give the native enough inner strength to bear the pains of it. Mars as 6th lord aspecting the 8th house may cause a serious accident or cause the disease aggressive and even patient may become eager to seek the surgical aid for relief. It is generally understood that the dusthana Lords spoil the house wherever placed. A rider to this rule is that the dusthana Lords shed their maleficience if associated with the trikona Lords or the yogakaraka of the chart either by conjunction or constellation lordship. Further, if such a planet is placed in a Kendra or Trikona, it gives results according to its positive traits of the dusthana during its dispensing dasha. It is said that the dusthana lord sheds its maleficience if it happens to be the Lagna lord as well. Here, it may be noted that this rule is valid for all combinations for Mars and Saturn being Dusthana and Lagna lord but in the case of Venus having either of 6/8th lordship alongwith the Lagna lordship, Sage Parashara has some reservations and does not approve a clean chit to Venus. It is generally said that a Vipareet Raja Yoga exists if one of the Dusthana lord is placed in the other Dusthana. In my humble opinion, this rule is not that rosy as it is said to be. Some authorities say that such Dusthana lords should not have any link to any other planets if they have to cast absolute benefic results. However, a careful research is necessary in this direction. Whatever said and done, the placement of one Dusthana lord into the other Dusthana location does produce ill effects particularly in health matters and no respite from the disease is seen. When more number of planets get conjunct in any Dusthana, that Dusthana become important and the results pertaining to that Dusthana become fairly noticeable in the life of the native for a long time. In fact this principle is true for any house in a chart because more no of planets conjunct in any house shall keep manifesting the effects alive for a long time in their dispensing dasha periods. The planetary yogas formed with the involvement of the dusthanas have the necessary shade of dusthanas involved in it. For example, consider the conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn in

Cancer Lagna. Jupiter as the 6/9th lord exalts and associates with the 7/8th lord Saturn. Looking closely to this combination, it may be said to be a Raja Yoga involving the Kendra and Trikona lords, but here, the yoga gets tainted with the 6th and 8th house lordship. Now, such Jupiter aspects strongly to the 5th house which deals with the professional education and the Saturn aspects the 10th house which deals with the profession. Amalgamating the effects of the yoga under the light of the involvement of the dusthana, it may be said that the native shall get the education relating to the disease (6th house) and death matters (8th house), which clearly points to the medical studies and the profession is also assured in the same direction because of the influence of this combination on the 10th house. In case, if Jupiter falls in the nakshatra of Pushya and Saturn in the nakshatra of Punarvasu in Cancer sign, these attributes are almost a certainty. It thus exemplifies how dusthanas shade the results of yoga.

NADI AMSHAS IN VEDIC ASTROLOGY WHAT IS NADI AMSHA? Most of the astrologers may be knowing by now what is Nadi amsha. For the benefit of others, the Nadi amsha is the subtlest division of a rashi (sign) suggested by Sage Satyacharya similar to the Vargas (divisions) given by Sage Parasara. It is generally the 150th part of rashi, amounting to 12' of arc or 48 seconds in time if 2 hours duration is taken for rashi. In the Chararashis (moveable) it is counted clockwise from the beginning of rashi, in the Sthira rashis (fixed) anti clockwise from the end of rashi and in the Dwiswabhava rashis (dual/common) from the middle of rashi. Different names are given for each nadi amsha such as Vasudha, Vaishnavi etc. the last nadi amsha being called Parameshwari. Thus the first nadi amsha of Vasudha in chara rashi will be the 150th in the sthira rasi and 76th in the Dwiswabhava rasi. The names chosen also seem to indicate some good or bad nature of the particular amsha similar to the names given in Shatshtyamsha. Each nadi amsha is again divided into two parts called Poorvabhaga (first part) and Uttarabhaga (second part), amounting to total of 300 parts, each part consisting of 6' in arc or 24 seconds in time. Some nadi astrologers divide the nadi amasha into 4 parts, amounting to a total of 600 parts, called Kalas each Kala consisting of 3' in arc or 12 seconds in time, to distinguish the role and duty of an individual as Brahmin, Kshatriya, Vysya or Sudra in the broad fields of religious / philosophical guidance, ruling, trading, or service respectively. Sthula(broad)life patterns are given for 1st and 2nd part of each nadi amsha in a Lagna (Ascendant).The general life patterns for some of these nadi amshas in a lagna are covered in the Astrological magazine of Bangalore, India. Sukshma (subtle) patterns are to be evolved with the position of planets in the particular chart.

HOW IS NADI AMSHA VISUALIZED? Now let us see how this nadi amsha divisions might have arrived at by our ancient astrologers. It is mainly based on Tatwa/Antar Tatwa Siddantha. The order of the tatwas and their duration are Prithvi tatwa (earth) 6 minutes, Jala tatwa (water) 12 minutes, Tejo tatwa (fire) 18 minutes, Vayu tatwa (air) 24 minutes and Akash tatwa(ether) 30 minutes. That means, for every 90 minutes the tatwas complete one round and start the second round. Thus in 24 hours, 16 rounds will be done.In this the odd number rounds are Savya (clockwise) and the even number rounds are apasasvya (anti clockwise). Now, if you take Prithvi tatwa of 6 minutes and its Antar tatwa duration will be 24 seconds (6 multiplied by 6 and divided by 90), which is the time taken for each part of nadi amsha. Now consider the Aroha (upward) and Avaroha (downward) motions of duration in Prithvi Antar tatwa as follows:

You can see that the duration is still sub-divided into minimum of 12 seconds, which is time taken for each Kala of nadi amsha. This scheme is given in the book "Jyotisha Siddhamthamu" (out of print now) written in 1973 in South Indian Telugu language by my Guru Late "DaivagnaRatna" and "Vidya Visarada" Sri Divakaruni Venkata Subba Rao, quoting "Jataka Phalachintamani" that the tatwas take avaroha also.

MALE/FEMALE BIRTH - RECTIFICATION OF BIRTH TIME Based on this, tables are evolved to find out the male/female birth after sunrise as per the birth tatwa, chara/sthira/dwiswabhava lagnas, day and Moon nakshatra (constellation).The tatwas represent male/female birth as: Prithvi male, Jala female, Tejo male, Vayu female and Akash male. From these tables, time of birth can be rectified to suit the male or female birth. Of course, Mr.M.V.Rao in his article "Rectification of birth time "Bhrugu nadi" in the magazine "The Times of Astrology" March 1973, Prof. P.S. Sastri in his book "Rectification of birth (An analytical approach) published by M/s Rangoon Publications of Delhi in 1996 and Mr.Marc Penciled in his book "The Nadi System of Rectification" in 1976 gave their own tables and interpretations for correcting the birth time for male/female birth, without going into Aroha and Avaroha Antar Tatwas. Anyway, it is for the readers to find their best method to rectify the birth time for male/female birth. In either case, the calculation of correct Sun rise time is very important. I do not propose to discuss the same in detail here as it is not directly connected to the present topic.

MY NADI AMSHA MODEL My date of birth is 7 September 1938, Place of birth Vizianagram, Andorra Prudish, India Longitude 83-27 East, Latitude 18-07 North. The time of birth is given in the old records as 7 ghettos 55 vighatis after Sun rise. The Day of birth is Wednesday. The Moon Nakshatra is Savanna 4th pad. Following the system given in the book "Jyotisha Siddhamthamu", following Antar tatwas, the birth is in Tejo anat. tatwa in Jala tatwa, Tejo representing male birth to suit to the other conditions of Libra chara rashi lagna, Wednesday and Moon nakshatra of Savanna. This matches the time of birth of 9-00 AM LMT or 8-56-16 AM ITS, as obtained from the original record and hence no rectification of birth time is required. This would give about 6 degrees in Libra lagna depending on the Amasha used. Now, the nadi amsha patterns around this 6 degrees in moveable lagna are to be checked, as given in the Astrological magazine of Bangalore, India, relating to 31st nadi amsha by name "Kampala" from 6 to 6-12 in moveable sign and 32nd nadi amsha by name "Quanta" from 6-12 to 624, for two parts in each nadi amsha.

ASTROVISION ISSUE # 8 AUG 2008 For the sake of interest and appreciation of the readers, I quote below the general life pattern given for the second part of Kamalamsha (6-6 to 6-12) from Dhruva Nadi: "The native belongs to a Shudder caste.(?). He is a devotee of Vishnu and is the 8th issue (?) to his parents. He is born in a city. His parents are long lived. His father lives as an employee of the State moving about in different places. He serves a Niche Parch. His profession in to do with chemicals and minerals (Rasayargada-moolena Dhabi dravyadhi Haitian). His father is a welted man. He lives in a foreign country. He has a number of friends. His mother is a lady of great moral character and discipline. His eldest brother is not alive. He has a long life and well built body (?) and a dark complexion (?). He is educated. He is dutiful to his parents and is Satwik by nature. He has respect for the Brahmins and Gods. He is moderate in his ambitions and his talk. He has the knack to read others' characters, but inclined to deceive his friends (?). He is an eloquent speaker. He is employed in the Defense department (Senapatimupashritya). He marries a good looking girl of character in his 21st (?) year. His real prosperity begins after marriage. When he is 16 (?) a great misfortune hits the family because of his father's Yoga bhanga. His father becomes much afflicted due to the machinations of enemies and loss of wealth. After his 22nd year, he gets a daughter (?). His father's enemies become crushed and things will again improve. His parents become extremely happy. At 29 he gets into the good glances of ruler. His father dies when he is 32 (?). There is continuous prosperity after 35. At 36 his mother dies(?). At 40 he has a big lift in the position. He is sent to foreign countries on errands. He gets plenty of money and two conveyances. At 42 he gets Raja Mudras. 2 sons and 1 daughter (?) are long lived. He is helpful to others. He gives charities. His sons also prosper. He prospers like the waxing Moon till his death. At 64 his wife dies. At 65 he passes away." I may mention here that the general pattern mostly matches except for the ages and the question mark (?) is given in the brackets wherever it differs. The idea to give this reading is only to appraise the readers how a general life pattern is given from the lagna nadi amsha only. The patterns in the other nearer nadi amshas are not discussed to save space. It is not also necessary that all the points have to match correctly since it is only a broad background key to subsequently link it up intelligently with the actual planetary positions for understanding the actual life events.

COMMENTS Though it is fairly understood how the nadi amsha divisions are visualized by our great ancient astrologers, it is still a hard nut to crack how they could have given the general life pattern of each nadi amsha without referring to any particular lagna and planetary positions. It seems that there are 108 tatwas, what are they and whether they are also linked up the nadi amshas is not known. This minute division sets the seed of an individual. If the correct nadi amsha is established, which is not so easy, there is a bird's eye view of the entire past and future of the person concerned. Each nadi amsha has got its own peculiar characteristics, but it can clearly indicate one's pattern of destiny. In relation to planetary positions, birth star etc. it can give an idea of one's parentage, number of brothers, sisters etc. A nadi amsha connected with a birth star and certain other planetary situations can enable us to predict future events with considerable accuracy. In fact, it seems, that Sage Satyacharya, father of Nadi Astrology, says that in the absence of the correct nadi amsha, the time of birth cannot be decided accurately. During my recent visit to USA to give lectures on this topic of Hindu Astrology in the conferences of American Federation of Astrologers and Arsha Vidya Gurukulam, on their invitation, I found there in a World almanac book that for every 3 seconds 9 births and 6 deaths take place ( it is for the scholars to understand where the other

ASTROVISION ISSUE # 8 AUG 2008 extra 3 births are coming from). That means, this nadi amsha division that a human birth takes place in every 12 seconds also may not hold good in the present circumstances. The present nadi amshas might have been written in the ancient times when the birth rate is very slow. Also it looks that these patterns are visualized to suit more to some particular regions within some distance of longitudes. Therefore, it is the moral duty of every astrologer to collect and maintain the birth data and life events of the known individuals and discuss with others in the field with an open mind and research angle or present their findings in this esteemed journal or elsewhere for the benefit of others in the field. Then probably we may get similar charts on the same day with different lagna parts and life stories, born to different parents or as twins, in different countries to really do some research. By subjecting the Sage's revelation to proper investigation and research, some rules may be formulated to pinpoint the correct moment of birth, if God permits the ancient astrological wonders may be revived again and a new Nadi Grantha may evolve to suit to the present modern circumstances. It is also necessary for all astrologers to thoroughly study the available literature on Nadi astrology, though scanty, and attempt to collect as much information as possible for real research.

NADI AMSHAS AND THEIR ORDER IN VARIOUS RASHIS The following table is attached to my article "A Note on Nadi Amshas" by the magazine "Vedic astrology" on their own. It is likely that the names may differ by some others. Note:1 represents 0 degrees to 0 degrees 12 minutes, 2 represents 0 degrees 12 minutes to 0 degrees 24 minutes etc. till 150 represents 30 degrees, thus each nadi amsha increasing by 0 degrees 12 minutes.

The Age of Aquarius Series -- Rectifying the Aquarian Age Part 3 In the previous two issues I presented the last two sub-ages in the Pisces age (the Aries and Pisces sub-ages) and the first two sub-ages in the Aquarian age (Capricorn and Sagittarius). The absence of an Aquarian sub-age between the Pisces and Capricorn sub-ages is due to the nature of the dwadasamsa sign division. The first dwadasamsa of any sign is the same as the sign itself but due to the retrograde nature of the precessional ages the dwadasamsa structure is also reversed. The last sub-age encountered in the Aquarian age will be the Aquarius sub-age. In the Aries sub-age (c.1073 - 1433+) classical examples of military might were demonstrated with Genghis Khan and the One Hundred Years War with the prime cultural development in the West being the Renaissance. The Pisces sub-age and overflow (c. 1253 – 1612+) correlated to oceanic exploration, slavery, religious strife between the Roman Catholic Church and the new Protestants and the start of the conquest of the world by (Pisces ruled) European nations. The introduction of tobacco and widespread witch hunts reinforces Pisces’ location at this time in history. On the more positive side the artistic legacies of Shakespeare, Michelangelo, and Leonardo Da Vinci etc stamped their place resolutely into the history of the world. The Capricorn sub-age (1433-1612) and overflow (1612-1791+) also displayed its unmistakable stamp at an appropriate place in history. Its effects are seen especially in what is known as the Scientific Revolution with the discoveries of Leonardo da Vinci, Copernicus, Newton, Galileo and their scientific contemporaries. The Capricorn sub-age also produced the severe Puritans and autocratic rulers of the period. The arrival of the Sagittarian sub-age (c.1612 – 1791) and overflow (c.1791 – 1970+) is aligned to the Industrial Revolution, railway networks, international travel and population explosion in the world. The great philosophers and political thinkers such as Karl Marx, Immanuel Kant, Hegel and Nietzsche appeared appropriately with this Sagittarian influence. Between 1791 and at least 1970 the Sagittarian sub-age overlapped with the new Scorpio sub-age. The Scorpio sub-age (c.1791 – 1970) The prime concepts associated with Scorpio (in Western astrology) are revolution, regeneration, transformation and metamorphosis; spiritual regeneration; death; inner strength (and external weakness); waste products from any process, which naturally includes sewage and pollution; atomic energy and bombs; almost everything associated with sex; taxes; and finally tyrants with their cruelty. Has the world previously seen the likes of the 20th century murderous tyrants such as Stalin and Hitler to name a few amongst many? The death and destruction unleashed in the Scorpio sub-age, especially in the first half of the 20th century was unprecedented in the world and if ever a time that Death, one of the four riders of the Apocalypse, made his presence felt, it was in this Scorpio sub-age.

ASTROVISION ISSUE # 8 AUG 2008 The revolutionary tone and appearance of the modern tyrants is exemplified by the rise to power of Napoleon in France. The French Revolution (1789–1799) arrived exactly in line with the new Scorpio sub-age (allowing for the one year margin of error in rectification). It instigated a reign of death and the appearance of the first tyrant of the sub-age. At least one in every hundred people in Europe was killed in the Napoleonic Wars. Despite Napoleon’s tyranny, he promoted much of the revolutionary spirit and fervour of the egalitarian French Revolution, and whenever his troops `liberated’ a country from their autocratic rulers, he marginalised and ostracised the established Christian churches who were generally in collusion with the aristocracy. Another powerful political change aligned to Scorpio was the Workers' Revolution by the ‘lower’ classes in Western nations. The development by the working class of a political identity, involving labour and trade unions and ultimately socialism and communism, commenced in the early 1800's. The philosophical basis of communism was published in the Communist Manifesto in 1848 and Das Kapital by Karl Marx in 1867. Karl Marx was a philosopher of the Sagittarian mould - his subject however was (Scorpio) revolution and revolutionary. Karl Marx is an excellent example of the confluence of the Sagittarius and Scorpio sub-ages. The outcome of the workers’ resentment at their collective lot in life was a redistribution of wealth. Socialism and communism did this by redistributing (Taurean) assets from the few to the many, either with (Scorpio) taxes or by revolutionary (Scorpio) force. Unions accomplished a redistribution of wealth through negotiated higher wages, very often using strikes as a tool to achieve this end. To strike, a prerogative of most trade unions, is an unadulterated Scorpio archetype. Simultaneous to the rise in the working class was the fall of the aristocracy. At the beginning of the Scorpio sub-age in 1791 the majority of the world was ruled by hereditary rulers. By the end of the Scorpio sub-age (1970) they had been dethroned or had lost all real political power – this was a massive world-wide revolution – the modus operandi of Scorpio! The greatest technological developments associated with the Scorpio sub-age was the harnessing of nuclear energy for military and energy needs and the first stage of the exploration of outer space, both ruled by Scorpio. Other Scorpio developments include the growing power and influence of underground activities such as the mafia, triads and other criminal organisations. Spies and espionage also became significant influences in the intrigues amongst the superpowers. The fictional James Bond character demonstrated the widespread interest in espionage by the general public by the close of the Scorpio sub-age. Scorpio Sub-Age Overflow (c.1970 - 2148+) Already the Scorpio sub-age overflow indicates that the mainly sexually transmitted illness AIDS will remain a serious world problem and will be probably be a scourge, or the scourge of the 21st century. The ongoing Sexual Revolution, which includes birth control and abortion, is most likely to continue to be a major sociological and divisive issue. All other issues associated with sexuality including homosexuality, transvestites, paedophiles etc will continue to expand in the Scorpio sub-age overflow. DNA is the inner mechanism of sex, and thus comes within Scorpio’s frame of reference. Genetic engineering in all its forms and guises has already made a significant inroad in a diverse number of areas including genetically modified (GM) food and the cloning of animals and animal tissues over the last 20 years, and it can be expected to continue at an exponential rate . Cures for many diseases are increasingly dependent upon genetic investigations and manipulation.

ASTROVISION ISSUE # 8 AUG 2008 The quest for longevity (i.e. defying or postponing death), based on various practices and ‘starvation’ diets has definite Scorpio undertones, especially considering the association of eating with Taurus – the opposite sign to Scorpio. This has also seen the promotion of anorexia – strongly promoted by the fashion industry. The spread of obesity is the hangover from the expansionary Sagittarius sub-age overflow. The late 20th century environmental conservation issue is a relatively new phenomenon. The passions unleashed, and the developing intensity of proconservation versus pro-development can be matched to the former passions and intensity of the workers' struggle against the bourgeois capitalists. To consume (Taurus) at the expense of the environment, is the question of today (and tomorrow). The concept of conservation and recycling resonates well with Scorpio. If the Workers Revolution is any guide, the conservationists will not have their way until the next century and must fight every inch of the way until then. Another recent and subtle example of Scorpio's influence is ‘political correctness’. The replacement of implied derogatory names with euphemisms, (e.g. mentally retarded with intellectually disadvantage) indicates a growing hypersensitivity by minority groups. This applies to racial groups, homosexuals or any other group such as the women's movement that is perceived to stray from the previously accepted social norm. The allowance currently being made by contemporary societies to prevent offending such groups of individuals indicates Scorpio's external vulnerability, and intense hypersensitivity to anything that treads on its tail. The overflow from the Scorpio sub-age also coincided with a significant change in the mood of the world – commonly referred to as ‘post-modern’. Previously Sagittarian optimism ruled supreme from its overflow. Whereas modernity gave an expectation of solving all the problems of the world, post-modernism is unconvinced and places an emphasis on scepticism - especially concerning social morals and normal behaviour expected by society. Post modernism does not see salvation for the world based on mass production and burgeoning wealth. Interestingly the last time the world went through a Scorpio sub-age overflow (c. 8 BC – 173 AD) the literati in the Roman Empire became sarcastic, sceptical and disillusioned and also reverted to gross sexual imagery. A modern example of the desultory cultural change is Michael Moore’s book Stupid White Men and his documentaries Bowling for Columbine and Sicko plus his badly received ‘revolutionary’ comments at the 2003 Academy Awards. What is readily seen under Scorpio most likely hides the actual powerful undercurrents that sit below the surface of our post-modern world. Alvin Toffler came across this aspect of the 20th Century when he first wrote Future Shock followed by The Third Wave. Toffler stated that Future Shock was his initial pessimistic response to obvious negative changes happening in the Western world such as the breakdown of family, religion, authority and so on. His next book followed a more optimistic tone. The Third Wave described the hidden or less noticed developments that are both positive and constructive, and which depend upon the breakdown of outmoded institutions and codes of behaviour as described in his earlier book. This behind the scenes revolution described by Toffler aptly describes the nature of Scorpio. Scorpio, the sign of regeneration, usually requires destruction before construction. Terrorist strikes are perfectly in tune with Scorpio, the sign of the Scorpion with its deadly tail. Coincidentally, contemporary terrorist activity began with airplane hijackings in the 1980’s, at the time when the Scorpio energy had just attained its peak strength at the beginning of its overflow period. Scorpio ruled terrorism leads to another very Scorpionic effect – vulnerability. People have not only lost their (Sagittarian) optimism, but they also are feeling very vulnerable. Scorpio is the sign of inner strength and external weakness, and it is fitting that in a period such as the 21st century, societies are feeling vulnerable and unprotected. In some societies this results in ethnic cleansing. However Scorpio implies that the strength people are

ASTROVISION ISSUE # 8 AUG 2008 looking for must be found within as external strength and stability (Taurus) is no longer on the menu. Other Scorpio developments include issues such as the death penalty, minimalism in the arts and design, sexual overtones in rock music to name a few. The Sexual Revolution unleashed in Western Society from the late 1960s onwards is highly indicative of Scorpio. The Scorpio world that we are settling into may be moving us away from Fire inspired warfare as the norm (despite recent indications to the contrary), but the issues facing the world may be as catastrophic as war due to environment degradation, the desire for revenge, global terrorism, the subtle manipulation or corruption of political power, the loss of optimism and a heightened sense of vulnerability and insecurity. Taurus is also the sign allied to a person’s values, and on the mundane level this translates to the cultural values of societies. Under Scorpio Taurus is in the 7th house position, thus indicating that cultural values are under threat. This is demonstrated in the world by what is termed by some as the culture wars. The culture war in the world is multi-faceted. Certainly the differences between Islamic and Western culture has produced heated and violent exchanges but this is just the tip of the ice-berg. Sagittarian Globalisation is steadily dissolving all cultures and is another classic example of the confluence of two adjoining sub-ages. The Western culture pioneered the dissolution of established cultural practises but the dissolution due in the future should be even greater for all concerned. All non-Western cultures are seeing strain and stress as their cultural values are diminished or threatened by the Western way of life. But the same is continuing in Western nations. Due to globalisation and the mass influx of people from various countries and cultures into the Western homelands, the religious, social and political inclinations of the immigrants are affecting Western nations making them far more multi-cultural. This at times creates reactionary tendencies from conservative elements in their populations to the perceived threat from foreign ways intruding into their lifestyles. The French ban on Islamic head scarves for females in their schools is one such conservative reactionary policy. The relationship between Taurus and culture also indicates the relationship between Scorpio and the World Wide Web or internet. This may initially seem strange as Aquarius or Gemini may seem better placed from the archetypal standpoint to be related to the internet. Taurus indicates physical, tangible and sensual culture – the complete opposite of the www with bits and packets seething through hidden optic fibre cables to be displayed on a cathode-ray or LCD monitor. There is little that is physical associated with the internet. This is a classic example of the evolution of astrological archetypes to correlate to new developments not known to ancient astrologers. India in the Scorpio sub-age and overflow How will India handle the Scorpio sub-age overflow (c.1970-2148+)? In the last issue I introduced Taurus, along with Capricorn, into India’s astrological signature. Scorpio directly relates to Taurus with Scorpio in the 7th house position. This clearly indicates that there are serious relationship issues to be resolved. It strongly suggests that the splitting of the Indian sub-continent into two nations in 1947 is a relatively temporary situation born of 7th house issues. Once the influence of Scorpio wanes it is likely that the Indian sub-continent will reunite. The arrival of the previous Scorpio sub-age in c.189 BC coincided with the collapse of the extensive, powerful and militarily strong Maurya Empire (322–185 BCE) indicating India’s weaker fortune under Scorpio. After the collapse of the Maurya Empire, India was appropriately split in two coinciding with the Scorpio sub-age.

ASTROVISION ISSUE # 8 AUG 2008 India had to wait until near the end of the Scorpio influence before it could regroup and rebuild itself to a certain degree. This 7th house influence upon the Indian sub-continent indicates that the country that fosters good relations with its neighbour, does not instigate sabre rattling or military activity and promotes compromise will benefit the most. The full strength of the Indian sub-continent will not be attained while it is split in two. It must be remembered that the nation of India was formed by Gandhi’s non-violent political struggle – early evidence of the positive harnessing of the 7th house by India to achieve modern statehood. The oftentimes violent antipathy between India and Pakistan is unlikely to be resolved this century. The acrimony over Kashmir indicates that the only solution is based on (7th house) compromise (not Aries/1st house war). Unfortunately both India’s and Pakistan’s governments were created under a Capricorn micro-age overflow (c.1940 – 55) influence indicating that the governments of both nations are more concerned about their respective conservative positions, status and reputation than diplomacy and the benefits to the common people if they could resolve their differences. The 7th house mode also indicates that the cultural dissolution that will be experienced in India, Pakistan and Bangladesh over the coming 150 years will be extremely strong compared to most other nations. Taurus indicates a resistance to change while the 7th house mode of the current Scorpio sub-age overflow indicates that resistance to cultural change will only cause conflict and thus weakness. This is one of those rare times when change will benefit the Indian sub-continent but paradoxically change is against the intrinsic cultural nature of the Indian subcontinent. Conclusion If previous sub-ages are any guide, the major impact of Scorpio is yet to be played out in the world. How many rugs will Scorpio pull out under our and our following generation’s world? Will a new and better global society develop out of shrinking ethnic cultures, social revolutions and the usurpation of traditional cultures, established religions and their values? We will only be around to witness a small part of this Scorpio development, but as bit players in the passing of the Scorpio sub-age overflow we can be sure to be intimately involved with the evolution of Scorpio for the rest of our lives. The famous American psychic Edgar Cayce (1877 – 1945) appears to acknowledge the Scorpio sub-age in his reading: "Pluto is a growing influence on the affairs of man toward the spiritual...More will be seen of this in the next one to two hundred years.' [Ref: 1100-27]. Is Cayce referring to the end and overflow of this (Pluto ruled) Scorpio sub-age?

Ashtakavarga – an Introduction Maharishi Parasara states in his magnum Opus Brihat Parasara Hora Shastra, “There are two divisions, or parts of the Jyotisha Shastra, namely general and particular. I have already dealt with the general part. I now come to the other part, which deals with this subject in particular.” Thereafter he goes on explaining the effects of the 12 houses and the 7 planets in chapters 66 to 72. In Kaliyuga, minds of the people have become blunt because of the sinful deeds committed by them. This shastra according to Parasara is for the benefit of all. In this shastra or system, there will be no contradictions in judging the effects of happiness and sorrows and for determination of longevity.

Varahamihira in his Brihat Jataka mentions Ashtakavarga in a casual manner as it is was commonplace in his times. It is quite possible it might have become an integral part of the main body of astrological teachings and probably he has not given many details about the system. This Shastra or System is called as ASHTAKAVARGA. Ashta means eight and varga means division. It is a System by which strength of planets are ascertained. Primarily intended to be used in transit (Gochara) analysis, it also finds use in natal chart interpretation. Only 7 planets and Lagna are included in this system. Rahu and Ketu are excluded. Out of my experience, I can very confidently say that Ashtakavarga System is one of the most efficient systems within Jyotish and I have found it extremely useful for timing of events. In addition, transit effects studied with the help of this system present an accurate picture of the coming events. When Applied with Vimsottari dasa system, Ashtakavarga can give extremely clear picture of the way in which events are likely to unfold. However according to Prof. B.V.Raman “As far as the determination of longevity is concerned, the Ashtakavarga System cannot be solely relied upon for accuracy.” He is of the opinion that the failure of the system with regard to longevity might be due to “either inadequate comprehension of the principles or the inadequacy of the number of examples worked out. ” A very simple explanation of Ashtakavarga: It is a method of calculating the powers of the 7 planets (excluding Rahu and Ketu) and of Lagna on one another. Thus it provides a means of examining the influences of the 7 planets and of Lagna depending on their locations in a horoscope, on each other and all the 12 houses in a horoscope. In other words, each planet from Sun to Saturn receives a contribution from 8 indicators (7 planets and Lagna) depending on their placement in the chart. As the famous work Horamakaranda says “ as a result of the progression of the 7 planets from their respective radical places and from Lagna, a collective factor sets in going under the name of Ashtakavarga”.

ASTROVISION ISSUE # 8 AUG 2008 It is likely that in a horoscope, a planet say Jupiter is capable of emitting beams that may influence certain places declared as favourable, both from his position in the chart as well as from the positions of other planets. The System can be used in all divisional charts along with Chaleta Bhava charts and even Horary Astrology. Prasna Marga also has got a chapter on Ashtakavarga. Casting the Ashtakavarga Charts: The various Ashtakavarga Charts that are in use are: Bhinnashtakavarga or Individual Ashtakavarga charts. Bhinnasktakavarga after reduction Sarvashtakavarga or Total Ashtakavarga chart Prasthara or spread-out Ashtakavarga chart. I am not going to explain the procedures for making the above charts in this article, as majority of the current day Astrological softwares do contain these calculations. To know about how these are calculated reader’s can go through Dr. B.V.Raman’s book “Ashtakavarga System of Prediction.” To calculate them manually much effort is needed and hence probably this system was discarded. However, I will give glimpse of the method of calculation for one planet say Sun. Calculating Sun’s Ashtakavarga: Each planet has got an influence on each sign. If it is benefic influence it is called ‘bindu’ and if it is malefic it is called ‘rekha’. The benefic as well as the malefic places have already been given in BPHS. Sun’s benefic places are the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th and 11th from himself. The same places are benefic fro Mars and Saturn too. The 5th, 6th, 9th and 11th from Jupiter; the 3rd, 6th, 10th and 11th from the Moon; the 3rd, 5th, 6th, 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th from Mercury; the 3rd, 4th, 6th, 10th, 11th and 12th from the Lagna and the 6th, 7th and 12th from Venus are the benefic places. The rest are malefic places. If it is drawn into a table it will look like this: (The 1st column position represents the individual planet's natal position in the chart) from the

Instead of dots a star has been placed. The total of 48 points in contributed by Sun. In a similar manner each planet distributes benefic points. Moon contributes 49 points, Mars 39, Mercury 54 points, Jupiter 56 points, Venus 52 points and Saturn 39 points making a total of 337 points. Here I wish to bring to the knowledge of readers that there are 2 major variations for calculating the benefic (or malefic) points or bindus from a given planet-One of Parasara and the other of Varahamihira. The difference between the two lies in the vargas of Moon and Venus and results in a couple of points (however the total

ASTROVISION ISSUE # 8 AUG 2008 remains 337 in both systems). The difference is so minute and hence it becomes difficult to judge which of the two systems is better. If the software provides for both the systems, readers can verify this point. The specific differences between the two systems are: Jupiter’s contribution in Moon’s Ashtakavarga: Parasara: Benefic places are – 1st, 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th, 10th and 11th from natal Jupiter. Varahamihira: Benefic places are 1st, 4th, 7th, 8th, 10th, 11th and 12th from natal Jupiter. Mars’ contribution in Venus’ Ashtakavarga Parasara: 3rd, 4th, 6th, 8th, 11th and 12th from natal Mars are benefic places. Varahamihira: 3rd, 5th, 6th, 9th, 11th and 12th from natal Mars are the benefic places. Thus the combined or collective ashtakavarga of the Sun and all the other 6 planets are calculated. By adding together the bindus contained in each of the signs the Sarvashtakavarga is drawn. If reader’s are desirous of knowing in detail the method of calculation of Bhinnashtakavarga as well as Sarvashtakavarga, I shall send a detailed article making the calculation clear through an Example chart. This is in general about the Regular Ashtakavarga System. The purpose of this article is to introduce you to one unique Ashtakavarga System called “KAS” – when expanded becomes Krushna’s Ashtakavarga System. Some of the readers might already be a member of the following Yahoo groups which are purely dedicated to KAS: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/astrologyandtimingevents/ http://groups.yahoo.com/group/kas_pravin/ The Web sites dedicated to this unique system are: http://krushna.sageasita.com www.ashtro.ca Readers may visit the above links and learn more about this system.
