e thank the readers for their kind words of encouragement for the previous series. What must be remembered is that each technique that he wrote in his books was an observation and not a statistical astrologically tested technique, he found many charts of same event saw some of his principles working and then found a sub principle that he has given as sutra. Below we would present some of his principles on which we could not find many charts yet in order that someone might be able to decipher the underlying principles behind his sutras and teach us back we have presented some of his rules with examples. Some rules from his book ‘New Rules & Combinations in Hindu Astrology’ : The author (Mr Mehta) has observed that if Mars, being the lord of the 12 th house, is situated in the 3 rd sign or the 4th sign, the native either elopes or is i s kidnapped at least once in life. But in such a case the native is not killed by the kidnappers. Page 179 from New Rules & Combinations in Hindu Astrology.
a) Mars is 12L either for Taurus Asc or for Sagittarius Asc. b) Mars should either be in the sign of Gemini or in the sign of Cancer. c) The native either elopes or is kidnapped once in life but in such a case is not killed by the kidnappers. d) If such a case does not happen then one has to see what other factors avoided in such an incident from happening. e) The classical mistake done by statistical oriented astrologers is to take 10 charts of natives who had been kidnapped and test the above technique and then come to a conclusion but what should be kept in mind is that some other yoga or combination might be working on those charts where this combination of Mehta Saheb is not to be seen. This mistake is often He has written 3 books, the first one to be read are New Dimensions in Astrology, next to be read are New Rules & Combinations in Astrology, the final one is on timing of events ‘Synchronization of Periods’. One should remember that Mehta Saheb was one of those few astrologers who would predict to the date without any computers.

repeated on internet forums and it has been noticed that stalwarts also do this mistake, young minds who blindly follow the stalwarts often get misguided into inappropriate type of research conducting is what we learnt from Late C S Patel. He would often repeat some other combination might be working in the chart. f) Unfortunately, in astrology for every rule there are several exceptions and it is these exceptions that are not known to all of us. Teachers will take you to the well but never fill the cup for you to drink or open your mouth for the water to be consumed.
Do note in the chart above that Mars is the 12L and is in the 4th sign thereby working T to the rule given by the Guaranteed Astrologer S K Mehta. Kidnap Victim - Jhora gives 2 Ta 11 whereas Kala gives 1 Ta 15 Birth Source: BC and given a AA Rating by Lois Rodden Scottish-American Dean of Agriculture at the American University at Beirut who was taken hostage by terrorists in the mid-East hostage crisis. En route from the airport to his on-campus home, he was stopped by gunmen who sprayed his car with automatic rifle fire and took him as a hostage. Kidnapped on 9 th June 1985, he was held hostage by Muslim fundamentalists and kept in a Lebanese prison for over six years, 2,347 days, incognito and chained by the ankle to a wall. His family did not even know if he were dead or alive. Out of 59 charts of various Ascendants found in ADB where kidnapping had occurred only one chart was found matching with the rule. This is for the statistical astrologer.
In a Leo Asc if Mars is located in 1H or 10H, the native will not stay in his birth place and he or she will have to leave the birth place in childhood. Page 59 from New Rules & Combinations in Hindu Astrology. Mehta Saheb later adds a) If Mars is placed in Asc, native leaves birth place in childhood. b) Native often meets with an accident at a T point, but he or she is not injured but the vehicle is badly damaged. c) He says that as per his observation when Mars is placed in the 4H for a Leo Asc, the natives leaves his birth place after 35-40 years of age.
O
ne cannot forget that for Leo Asc Mars is a Yogakaraka planet and if placed in 1H it aspects its own sign and in 10H then also it aspects its own sign Scorpio, yet as per S K Mehta it gives unfavorable results like separation from home land (in olden days it was considered unfavorable but now in modern world Indians consider it favorable) and destruction of vehicle. This was the genius of S K Mehta that he went against established norms that planet aspecting its own sign need not give good results, something that no astrologer in thousands of years of Indian astrology has observed or dared to write. Let us see some charts where it works to the T and sometimes arbitrarily, please note arbitrarily. But it is obvious that such a technique will not always work since other planets will come in the picture. What is not so important that it did not work on 5 charts so it’s useless, what is more important and worrisome is why it even worked on . Let’s see in the below chart where this scribe dismissed Mehta’s technique but found contradictory results.
After finishing half of this article a mail was sent to an SA Mumbai Club member. This scribe could have blindly used Mehta Sahebs technique but the fear of failure is too heavy hence scribe kept quiet and instead of predicting just asked via email. Dear ….. I presume this technique which i never published)
in your chart (this is from the 4th part of the article
In a Leo Asc if Mars is located in 1 st House or 10th House, the native will not stay in his birth place and he or she will have to leave the birth place in childhood. from New Rules & Combinations in Hindu Astrology.
His reply below each point:a) If Mars is placed in Asc, native leaves birth place in childhood. I never lived in my place of birth, since my father was transferred to another town only 70 miles from place of birth. b) Natives often meets an accident in a , but he or she is not injured but the vehicle is badly damaged Yes this happened to me on my way to my friend’s baarat (wedding) in Delhi. The driver was a common friend of mine and the bridegroom. We had a head-on collision on the highway at a . It was a Honda Accord and the air-bags inflated and saved both of us. The car was totally wrecked and had to be salvaged. But, both of us walked out without a scratch on us. Amazing! isn’t it? c) He says that as per his observation when Mars is placed in the 4H for a Leo Asc, the natives leaves his birth place after 35-40 years of age. I've Mars and Sun in parivartan. So would like to check this rule if I would be overseas again after my 35th year?
Note that the accident happened at a T junction, just like Mehta Saheb has written in his book. Now the worry starts as to why it works inconsistently in charts below. Various theories can come up giving reasoning and exception rules for each chart below, but that would be our thinking and not the Sages thinking and wish Mehta Saheb was alive today or some of his students who are in hiding to come out and teach us.
Mars is in the 4H for this Leo Asc and does it match with Mehta Saheb’s observation of above point c) He says that as per his observation when Mars is placed in the 4H for a Leo Asc, the natives leaves his birth place after 35-40 years of age.

She was born in 1941 in Bascom, Florida and moved to England around 1980 or something, year is not clear, but its somewhere around when she had the major move out of country. It is somewhat matching with his observation although she had many moves in childhood contrary to Mehta observation.

.

He says he doesn’t like to be "rooted" in any one place. Home is where his friends are, and he gets bored easily.
Leo Asc with Mars in 4H, he did not move out of place of birth immediately after birth contrary to Mehta Saheb ’s observation, yet he moved around quite a lot, see the concentration of planets in the 4H.
In Point b) Mehta Saheb writes that b) Natives often meets an accident in a T point, but he or she is not injured but the vehicle is badly damaged Let us analyze few charts of Leo Asc where Mars is in 1H or 10H and see if the event as outlined by Mehta Saheb in Point b) has worked or not
Mars is in the 1H for a Leo Asc. 2 degree difference in Asc between Jhora and Kala. American writer, novelist and adventurer who was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for fiction in 1953. He was in a car crash in Billings, Wyoming early morning of 4/07/1935, another in London on 6/20/1945, and another in Havana, Cuba on 7/01/1950. He was in two airplane crashes, the first at nightfall of 1/24/1954 in which he was severely injured, and a second plane crash, also in Uganda. (Please note that dating system used is American dating system, month, date and then year ).
The part of car accidents is seen working but the other part of no harm to body is not seen working.
American actor with a history of substance abuse. Leo Asc with Mars in 10H. He survived a drunk driving accident on 8/26/1996 in which he broke his neck. This was a second major accident; the year before he had a crash that shattered bones in his face and damaged his left eye. Unable to work, he dropped out further. In March 1999, he had three arrests for public drunkenness and in January 2000, another arrest constituted a violation of parole conditions. So here as per Mehta’s method the accidents have happened but the other part of his technique has not worked at all as body harm has been caused. a) Asc lord is body and here Asc Lord is Sun who is with his enemy Saturn in 8 th from 4H of vehicle and is with Rahu (alcohol/drugs). So harm to body is confirmed. Saturn is the 6L of accidents. b) It was in Saturn/Saturn/Sun he had the accident on 26 th Aug 1996 c) 4H has the sign Scorpio, the secret in analyzing any house is to see who are its friends and who are its enemies, who is exalted there and who is debilitated there . 4H of vehicles has sign Scorpio where Moon (mind) gets debilitated and this Moon is with Neptune, illusions and delusions via alcohol and drugs.
American child who survived a fiery blast that killed her younger sister when a propane gas tank exploded in their Moultonboro, NH cottage on May 25, 2003 at 9:45 PM. Anna suffered minor burns. This chart does not work as per Mehta’s principles of point b) Natives often meets an accident in a T point, but he or she is not injured but the vehicle is badly damaged. Here it is not a vehicular accident but still an accident to the body and a part of the technique works that is no harm (minor burns) was done to her though her sister died.
American musician who played and sang in piano bars from the age of 17, pro for the next 20 years. In November 1965 he bought a beauty salon as an investment. The same month he turned over his new Cadillac in the rain, but suffered no injury. Now read the last two sentences couple of times in the light of Ketu (accidents) is with Venus (beauty salon) in 10H and is with Mars (4L of vehicles) and the story unfolds. This is one of the ways of decoding conjunctions that is not known.
Coming back to Mehta’s technique, it is Leo Asc, Mars is in the 10H, an accident did occur and he suffered no body harm.
Jhora gives 13 Leo whereas Kala gives 25 Leo. After adjusting time zone we get 25 Leo in Jhora which is reproduced above. Italian singer who has cut an unusual swath through a unique path, becoming a pop star without radio and a chart-topping lyric tenor virtually without singing opera.

Born with an hereditary form of glaucoma he underwent his first eye operation at six months of age. After 27 more operations, he lost his sight at the age of 12 following a soccer accident in which he was hit by a ball. Coming to Mehta’s technique, it is Leo Asc, Mars is in 10H aspecting the chronic disease sign Scorpio, no vehicular accident happened only a football accident which caused him his eyesight forever. Note that Mars is in the sign of Taurus which in natural zodiac is the sign of eyes.
