Here is a simple method, which gives remarkable results. A very important timing system in Vedic Astrology, before studying a more complex prediction system is when planets and houses give their maturity effects. The planets are more significant in this regard. At a certain age a planet will mature. The full potential of the planet will be able to manifest at that time. Whatever a planet promises in the chart, depending on other factors will be clearly visible in a person's life at that age. This is a very important method of prediction and can often work like magic. In some cases just knowing a person's age without having access to their chart can give you a strong idea of what they are experiencing in life and how that planet
corresponding to their age actually functions in their chart. The maturity planet will show its intrinsic nature as well as the results of its chart placement.

Jupiter's maturity age (15th birthday) 16th year, will often give some special opportunities, wealth, or higher learning (Jupiter's natural significations) and whatever else it indicates in the chart. Sun's maturity age (21 st birthday) 22nd year, will bring out the person's underlying tendencies to the fore, and if well placed is an important time for professional advancement, along with whatever else Sun indicates in the chart. Moon's maturity age (23 rd birthday) 24th year, will show some psychological maturity. Whatever else the Moon indicates in the chart will come to the fore. From one's 24th birthday (25th year) Venus will mature. As a natural significator of love a person will generally expect some romance even marriage in their life, if supported by the main horoscope. Venus will also give the effects of its chart placement. Mars maturity age (27 th birthday) 28 th year, will see a person developing more initiative and independence in their life. Mars will also give the effects of its chart placement.
Mercury's maturity age (31 st birthday) 32nd year, will see more intellectual development and important communication activities taking place. Mercury will also give the effects of its chart placement. Saturn's maturity age (35th birthday) 36th year, can usher in important changes. A person may experience some form of upheaval or find more security and stability in their life. Whatever a person has been working hard towards in the house that Saturn occupies, will start to give its full results at this age. Rahu's maturity age (41st birthday) 42nd year, can make one more focused on the opportunities for growth that Rahu signifies in the chart. Ketu's maturity age (47th birthday) 48th year, is an important time for introspection and reflection on how one has developed up till now in their lives. It can be an important spiritual turning point. If a planet is afflicted in a chart, when it reaches maturity the full negative potential of that planet will be able to manifest. As an example, if Saturn were badly placed in the 4th house of a horoscope, at the age of 35 a person will have some kind of emotional crisis or difficulties with property matters. Saturn is sure to show its more negative inherent traits such as obstacles, delays, miserliness, over attachment and poverty. If this Saturn were also ruler of the 5th and 6th house it will show obstructions in love affairs, creativity, children (5 th house) and problems with debts, enemies and health (6th house). On the other hand if Saturn is a strong benefic or yogakaraka then one may see a sudden rise in fortune from the age of 35.
