Om Gam Ghanapati NamahaTransits and natal referencesIntroductionP.V.R. Narasimha Rao, B.Tech, M.S.By transits or gochaara, we mean the motion of planets in the skies. By the transit or chaara orgochaara position of a planet, we mean the position occupied by a planet at a given time. By the natalor radical or birth or janma position of a planet, we mean the position occupiedby a planet at the timeof ones birth.By correlating the transit positions on a given day with the natal positions ofseveral reference points,we can draw some conclusions about the nature of results experienced by the native on that given day.Transits from MoonThe most popular natal reference in transit analysis is Moon. Moon is the significator of mind andanalysis of planetary positions with respect to Moon shows the mental state. Depending on the housesoccupied by transit planets with respect to natal Moon, they exert different influences on ones mentalstate. The transit of Vimsottari dasa lord is particularly important, because he

is the one who has thegreatest influence on ones mental state during a period.Other Natal ReferencesWe can analyze transits with respect to lagna and paaka lagna. Lagna is the hubof vitality and onespersonality in a chart. Using the ashtakavarga tables, we can decipher whether the transit of a planet ina house from lagna is favorable or not. We can see which house a planet is transiting in, with respectto natal lagna, and expect the planet to influence the matters of that house. The influence exerted by atransit planet on the house occupied by it depends on its inherent nature and its significations in thenatal chart. For example, Jupiter transiting in the Ta may give marriage to someone born in Sc lagna,because Ta is the 7th house from Sc. Saturn transiting in Ar may give relationship problems or maritalproblems for someone born in Li lagna, because Ar is the 7th house from Li.We can also look at the aspects cast by transiting planets. Suppose Jupiter is transiting in Vi andsomeone has lagna in Sc. Jupiter aspects Ta, the 7th house from Sc, when he is in Vi. So Jupiter cangive marriage during his Vi transit also. We can look at the aspects cast by transiting planets on therasis containing the natal houses and the natal planets. Suppose someone has lagna in Sc and Venus inPi in natal chart. Then the 7th house is in Ta and Venus, the significator of marriage, is in Pi. Jupitertransiting in Vi aspects both Ta and Pi and hence he may give marriage.Thus we should look at the rasis occupied and aspected by planets in their transit and find out whichhouses and planets occupy those rasis in the natal chart. Based on that, we should guess the resultsgiven by the planets. A planet occupying or aspecting a rasi in transit influences the matterssignified by the houses and planets stationed in that rasi in the natal chart. The exact nature of theinfluence exerted by a planet depends on its inherent nature and the matters itstands for in the natalchart. For example, if the 5th lord in the natal chart is occupying the 8th house from natal lagna in8transit, some troubles related to children may be expected. If Mars is the 8th lord in the natal chartand aspects, in transit, the rasis occupied by Venus and 7th lord in the natal chart, then somedisturbances in marital life may be expected.Sahams are useful in transit analysis. Sahams are the significant points in thezodiac. For example,when the 7th lord or Venus transits close to vivaha saham, one may get married.When the 6th lord or8th lord or Mars or Rahu transits close to kali saham, one may have an accident.A malefic planet transiting in janma rasi may give mental worries and a maleficplanet transiting in

natal lagna may affect the vitality of the native and create obstacles in his efforts. On the other hand,paaka lagna explicitly stands for the physical self and a malefic planet transiting in paaka lagna maygive bodily complaints. Similarly planets occupying or aspecting arudha padas intransit may giverelevant results. For example, Saturns transit in A10 (arudha of the 10thhouse) can be bad for career,Jupiters transit in A9 is good for fortune and so on.Transits and Divisional ChartsThough the motivation for the approach described here comes from some principlesdescribed inclassics, the actual approach is essentially based on this authors own researches. This author heardabout Bhrigu transits, which correlate the transit positions in navamsa chart withthe natal positionsin rasi chart. However, he does not know much about the tradition of Bhrigu transits to concludewhether or not his findings are loosely related to that tradition.Though this author prefers to teach only those approaches that have the sanctionof maharshis, he findsthis particular approach superior to most other techniques of transit analysis.Moreover, this approachdoes not violate any teachings of maharshis. This is also a fertile area for research and deserves ourattention. Hence it will be covered here. However, readers are advised to keep in mind that whatfollows is a product of the very limited intelligence of this author and hence prone to errors. Readersare encouraged to question and to conduct further researches in this area.We said that a planet occupying or aspecting a rasi in transit influences the matters signified bythe houses and planets stationed in that rasi in the natal chart. For example, we said that Jupitertransiting over Venus may give marriage. However, we know that navamsa is the chart that showsmarriage. So, is there any significance for Jupiters rasi chart transit over thenavamsa of Venus? Inother words, if Venus is in Cancer in navamsa, can Jupiter transiting in Cancerin transit rasi chartbring marriage?We do not have different zodiacs for different divisional charts. All the divisional charts use the samezodiac. So Cancer in natal navamsa chart and Cancer in transit rasi chart are not different. They areone and the same. If Jupiter transiting in Cancer can influence the house and planets stationed inCancer in rasi chart, he should be able to influence the house and planets stationed in Cancer innavamsa chart too [for example if Venus is there this signifies marriage]! We can extend this logic toall the divisional charts.Rasi chart shows everything that exists at the physical level. Divisional charts

show various areasof life. The interaction between the two decides how events in various areas oflife materialize atthe physical level. Natal chart shows the innate potential. Transit chart showsthe temporaryinfluences. The interaction between the two decides how temporary influences convert innate potentialinto actions and life events.So the most important interactions are those between9(1) a natal divisional chart and the transit rasi chart, and,(2) the natal rasi chart and a transit divisional chart [D-x ; where D-x is divisionalchart of interest ; x=1(Natal); x=2 (Wealth); x=4 (Net Assets) etc.]Here (1) shows how innate potential in a particular area of life is influenced at a given time to result inaction at the physical level. This helps us in coarse timing of events. We can fine-tune the timing ofevents with(2), which shows how the potential at the physical level is transformed into anevent in a particulararea of life.Example for (1) :Natal Divisional (D-2)

Transit Rasi Chart (of D-

1)In the Transit Rasi Chart above (see example 2 for Rasi D-1 chart) when does Jupiter exactly transitthe Punya Sahama point (Fortune, good deeds etc.) after the date of 2ndApril 2008 @ 10:44 am. Thecomputer calculations show that this occurs on the 31thAugust 2016.Analysis: The 8thhouse (from birth Lagna) in the D-2 chart is occupied by malefics (Ma, Ju, Mo).Theearly adolescent life of the native was one of want, misfortune and eventual residence away from hisplace of birth. The punya sahama prediction is that by 31 August 2016 the wealthof Jupiter, beneficVenus and Mercury in the 9th house from radical Lagna, is house of luck and fortune and cause forpoorvapunya, or effects of good sanchita (seed) karma, taking fruition as kriyamana (future) karma.These karmas will be expressed by intelligence, spiritual knowledge, devotion,japa of mantras,authority/power, fame, etc. So all the physical activites has the potent life.Also from table on page 10, Jupiter in the 5th

house from radical Moon gives prosperity by this date.

Transit (D-1)10Example for (2) :

In the 2ndpart of above two-part principles, the D-2 transit search of the rasi chart (D1) for the PunyaSahama point as by way of example, gives the potential in principle (1) now revealed as a realty inprinciple (2) during the period 31 August 2016. A view of the chart reveals whythis is so. Jupiter andVenus along with Mercury give wealth, luxuries and knowledge while salvation andlivng away frombirth place are represented by Ketu and Rahu, all in the 3rdhouse from radical Moon. Travels,expenditure on house and vehicle and communication are indicated by this house during 2016. the 4thhouse results should also be noted : vehicles, land, immovable property, relatives, wealth, comfortsand pleasures. However, the effects from planets from radial Moon sign on page 10 should also benoted in particular, Jupiter and Saturn; they are obstructions in work and stomach troubles.Computer Computations from : Jagganatha Hora Lite-free software, by Jyotish GuruP.V.R.Narasimha Rao, BTech, M.S.; by kind permission.Goto Appendix Example 21, 22Ashtaka VargaInfluence of transiting planets have to be understood only from the astaka vargaof the natal Moon andof the planet concerned. If we ignore the two asktaka vargas (of the natal Moonand the concernedplanet), the transit influences do not come out accurately. The luminaries and planets transit all thetwelve signs in a sequence. Their placement from the natal Moon, natal lagna andthemselves givesvarying results at different times. These have to be noted carefully. Each plane

t has such favourableplaces from itself, from the natal Moon, and from the five planets. These beingeight in number, it iscalled Astaka varga. The benefic places are marked in South India by a circle called a bindu. Thefavourable bindus come to 337. All the good and bad effects have to be declaredwith reference ofthese eight. Also note which planet contributes a bindu in a sign. Count from the natal lagna and theconcerned planets.There are two types of reduction or shodhana of the individual planets Astaka varga. They are Trikonaand Ekadhipatya shodhana. The individual planets Astaka varga is the Binna astakvarga chart (BAV)and the total chart is called the Sarva astakavarga chart (SAV).After two reductions of the BAVs the resulting charts are called Samudaya AstakaVarga or Sodhita(reduced) Astaka Varga. From these reduced charts we find the important ShodhyaPinda chart. This isfound by taking the reduced charts for each planet and multiplying the rasi (signs) from Meshaonwards by 7, 10, 8, 4, 10, 5, 7, 8, 9, 5, 11, 12. This gives the total Rashi Pinda for each planet in thebirth chart. Then in each planets case consider the planets in signs and multiply them by the planet

Me RaJu KeVe AsTransitSearchHoraD-2Mo MaSu SaHL SL11multipliers: Sun 5, Chandra 5, Kuja 8, Budha 5, Guru 10, Shukra 7 and Shani 5. This gives the totalGraha Pinda. Add the two pindas together to get the Shodhya Pinda chart of all the 7-planets from abirth chart.Note: Most jyotish computer programs give the Sodhya Pinda chart instantly.Summary:Transit influences are always related to Ashtakavarga of the natal Mo and of theplanet concerned. Transit effects are generally reckoned from the natal Mo. Each planet transits all the twelve signs. Its influence varies from sign to sign. The transit results of Ju and Sa are very powerful. Sadesati - Sa transit in 12, 1, and 2 - comes once in thirty years. It is notalways harmful. If it harms in the first period (0 - 30 years) , it harms only in the third period (= > 60 years ),

not in the second (30 60 years) . If it harms in the second (30 60 years ) it does not harm in the third period (= > 60 years).

Basic SignificatorsMundane astrologyIn mundane charts, we can use arudha padas, divisional charts etc, but we have to re-interpret thesignifications of various charts, houses and arudha padas judiciously. For example, D-9 may showrelations with other nations and the role played in international polity. D-30 may show internaldisturbances and violence. D-11 may show wars and terrorist activities. D-8 mayshow unexpected andsudden external troubles like natural calamities. D-10 may show political activity. D-24 may showuniversities, science, technology, arts, research and activities of intelligentsia. Arudha lagna may showhow a nation is perceived in the world. A3 may shows its weapons. A6 may shows its enemies. A7may show its allies.

17Planet SignificanceSunWhen we find houses from Sun, we should look at matters related to soul, inherent nature, personality,will power, expenses for bad causes, significator for the day-born and father. The Sun is seen in Vedicthought as the buddhi or intellect.MoonHouses from Moon show mind, wisdom, peace, happiness, diseases (waning) and mother.MarsHouses from Mars show siblings, land and strength.MercuryHouses from Mercury stress on business, commerce, profession, friends, karaka for the father ingeneral and good behavior. In psychology it is the indicator of buddhi (intelligence), mentality,rationality and power of perception, as well as capacity in communication and speech, thus alsorelating to education. Mercury connects one with the communicational mind. Mercury should beexamined along with the Moon and the 4thhouse in rasi.JupiterHouses from Jupiter show the nourishment of body, learning, children, expensesfor good causes andwealth. In psychology Jupiter relates to higher consciousness within the framework of the sadhanas,includes Vedhanta philosophy or philosophy in general, and charitable acts. Jupiter connects one withthe soul. Jupiter should be examined along with the 5thhouse in rasi.VenusHouses from Venus show marriage, comforts, luxuries, vehicles, truthful speech,eyes, mother for theday-born, fortune, pilgrimages, expenditure, profit and loss and sexual pleasures.SaturnSaturn shows longevity, livelihood, gains, fortune, significator for the night-born, brothers, partner,fears, sadness, dangers and sorrows.RahuHouses from Rahu show wickedness, emigrating , harsh speech, diseases, snakes, unclean body,falsehood, gambling, an irreligious person, a sinful woman.

18Functional Nature of PlanetsWe learnt that Jupiter, Venus, waxing Moon (Waning Moon is from the 8thday of dark fort-night, orasthami Krishna Paksa, to 7thday bright fort-night, or saptami Sukla Paksa) of and well-associatedMercury are natural benefics. We learnt that Sun, Mars, Saturn, Rahu, Ketu, waning Moon and illassociated Mercury are natural malefics. In addition, we have the concept of functional benefics andfunctional malefics.The lords of trines from lagna are functional benefics {1, 5, 9}. The lords ofthe papasthana houses {3rd, 6th and 11th} are functional malefics. These Papasthana Bhavas -houses {3, 6, 11}- are maleficwhen occupied by benefics and this is how planets become functional malefics inthese houses. Ifoccupied by malefics they bring about favourable results.The lord of a quadrant is a functional malefic if he is a natural benefic and functionally neutral if he isa natural malefic. The lords of 2nd, 8th and 12th are functionally neutral. Of these, the 8th house ismore malefic than the other two.Planet owning a quadrant and a trine becomes a yogakaraka (excellent planet).In the case of planets owning two rasis, we need to judiciously combine the twoindications. The list ofyogakarakas, functional benefics, functional neutrals and functional malefics for each lagna is given intable . Moon is not listed for movable rasis, because his functional nature depends on whether he iswaxing or waning. Waxing Moon is a natural benefic and he becomes a functional malefic withquadrant ownership. Waning Moon, on the other hand, is a natural malefic and quadrant ownershipmakes him functionally neutral.

Placement of a functionalbenefic in quadrants(sustenance) and trines (prosperity) brings good results. Placement of a functional malefic in thesehouses is not good, unless it is very strong. A functional malefic placed in the3rd house and dusthanas(6th, 8th and 12th houses) brings good results, by spoiling the significations of the bad houses.A planet in a bhava-sandhi, is the point when one house ends and another begins,is powerless.

SummaryThe lords of trines from Lagna are functional benefics { 1, 5, 9 }.The lord of the 8thhouse from a Bhava, the lord of the 22ndDrekkana from that cusp, andthose situated in the 6th

, 8thand 12thhouses (= Dusthana houses) from that Bhava arelikely to give malefic results as far as that Bhava (the dasa period) is concerned.The lords of a Kendra (=1, 4, 7, 10 houses) is a Functional Malefic if he is anaturalbenefic and Functionally Neutral if he is a natural malefic.The lords of the papasthana houses (=3, 6, 11) are Functional Malefics. Benefic planets inthe papasthana houses become Functional Malefics. Malefic planets in these housesbecome Functional Benefics (they will bring about favourable results).Benefic planets in the trines and kendras of a bhava will bring about favourable results.Natural malefic planets (Mars, Sun, Saturn, waning Moon) in these houses is notgood,unless it is very strong (5 bindus or more or greater than the strength of the lords of thosehouses.)Lord of the Lagna- is both lord of a Quadrant and a Trine. It will give good resultsirrespective of its inherent nature. Planets are thus subservient to the Lagna.If it is notonly the lord of the ascendant, but also of a malefic house like the 6thor 8th, its characterof a benefic remains because of its ownership of the 1st.If a planet aspects or conjoins or owns HL and lagna, it becomes a yogada (giverof yoga) in moneymatters. If a planet aspects or conjoins or owns GL and lagna, it becomes a yogada in the matters ofpower and authority. Irrespective of their functional nature, planets that become yogada bringgoodluck. Similarly, planets involved in important yogas also bring good luck.We should consider the inherent nature and the functional nature of planets. Whether a planet is anatural benefic or a natural malefic is analogous to whether a person is inherently good or bad.Whether a planet is a functional benefic or a functional malefic is analogous towhether a person doesgood or bad to one. Just as a nice person may harm one and a bad person may do good, naturalbenefics can become functional malefics and natural malefics can become functional benefics.

20BaadhakasFor a house falling in a movable/fixed/dual rasi, the 11th/9th/7th house (respectively) from therebecomes baadhaka sthaana (troubling spot). Its lord is called a baadhaka (troublemaker) for theoriginal house. The list of baadhaka sthaanas and baadhakas corresponding to each rasi is given inTable 11.For example, suppose lagna in someones D-10 is in Ge. Then Jupiter is baadhaka for lagna. Theperiods of Jupiter and planets in Sg can create some obstructions and troubles in career. Let us takeanother house. Aq is the 9th house and the 9th house in D-10 shows the guidanceone gets in onescareer. It can show manager and elders giving guidance. Baadhaka sthana for Aq is Li. So the periodsof Venus and occupants of Li can create some troubles related to the guidance one gets. There may besome troubles related to manager. Thus we can consider baadhaka from every houseand arudha padain every divisional chart.Table 11: BaadhakasRasi Baadhaka sthaana BaadhakaAr AqSaturn & RahuTa CpSaturnGe SgJupiterCn TaVenusLe ArMarsVi PiJupiter

Transits and Ashtakavarga in Examples:Though one of the purposes of ashtakavarga is to assess the strength of planetsand houses in natalcharts, its most important purpose is the interpretation of transits. Just as welook at the houseoccupied by a transit planet with respect to natal Moon and natal lagna, we canlook at the housesoccupied by a transit planet with respect to all the eight references used in ashtakavarga. Transitplanets Sani and Guru give most powerful effects.If a planet is benefic in its transit rasi with respect to 5 or more natal references, out of eight, then itwill produce good results. If a planet is benefic in its transit rasi with respect to 3 or less natalreferences, out of eight, then it will produce bad results. Of course, the exactnature of the good or badresults given by a planet depend on its natural significations and its significations in the natal chart.To see this, we look at the number of rekhas in the transit rasi in the transiting planets BAV(Binnastakavarga=Individual Planets Astakavarga). If, for example, Saturns BAV ofthe natal rasichart has 5 rekhas in Ta, then that means that Saturn is benefic with respect to5 out of 8 natalreferences in Ta. So he produces good results when he transits Taurus. The samelogic can be extendedto the divisional charts. If Jupiter has 8 rekhas in Ar in natal D-10 chart, then his transit in Aries in rasichart invariably brings excellent results in career. The matters that benefit depend on Jupitersplacement and ownership in the natal D-10 chart. Basically, Jupiters rasi transitin Aries activates themanifestation of Jovian energy at the physical level in Aries. If Jupiter has many rekhas in his D-10BAV, it shows that Jovian energy in Aries goes well with most sources of energyin D-10 and thus itcan have a significant impact on a natives career.A planet with 6 or 7 bindus or rekhas in its transit rasi in its BAV invariablybrings excellent results. Aplanet with 1 or 0 bindus in its transit rasi in its BAV invariably brings verypoor results.

22Kakshya For Closer TimingKakshya is used to pinpoint the exact timing of an event using the transits through the signs/houses. IfSaturn is transiting a sign that has high (8) points/bindus, then you will wantto narrow it down to theexact month within that 2 year period the good results will take place; noting that Saturn remains ina sign for 2 years. In figuring the Prastarchakra (table for each planet) each sign receives beneficpoints from the 7 planets and the ascendant. Therefore there are divisions of 8parts to a 30-degreesign. Each division is called a kakshya and is assigned a ruler. Each kakshya isapproximately 3 degrees. From the beginning of a sign they start with Saturn the slowest movingplanet, and continueon down to the fastest moving planet ending with the ascendant. The order for all the signs are thesame:1.Saturn, 2. Jupiter, 3. Mars, 4. Sun, 5. Venus, 6. Mercury, 7. Moon, 8. Ascendant.The number of bindus/points in a sign, (Bhinnashtak) is the sum total of singlebindus/pointscontributed by each planet. If a planet has contributed a point/bindu to SaturnsBhinnashtak (totals)then Saturn will produce a good result while passing through the Kakshya of theplanet thatcontributed a bindu/point.The transits through kakshyas applies to all the planets, but this application is more useful for theslower moving planets. The average time a planet will transit a kakshya (3 degrees) is listed,retrograde motion can cause this to vary.Saturn: 112 daysJupiter: 45 daysMars: 7.1 daysSun: 3.8 daysVenus: 2.3 days

MercuryMoon: 6.8 hoursAscendantRahu/Ketu: 70.8 daysPrinciples of Kakshya Application1. The karakas or indications for that planet: Sun-Father, Moon-mother, Mars-brothers, etc.2. House the transit is transiting from Ascendant3. Location from the kakshyas lords natal position to the planet in transit :The number of houses from the natal planet to the transiting planet will give the results of the house that thenumber relates to. Ex. 2 houses away-2ndhouse matters, 3 houses away- 3rdhouse matters etc.Example: If it is nine signs away it will give 9thhouse qualities such as luck and fortune. If transitingSaturn is in Sagittarius in the 6th kakshya of Mercury [Mercury is the 6thplanet in the above orderand the 6thkakshya is 22.5/3.75=6 degrees as Sa is 22.5 degree longitude into Saggitarius], andMercury has contributed a bindu/point to the sign Sagittarius this time will bea fortunate or luckytime. This is due in part to the 9thhouse influence since Mercury is natally in Aries and the signSaturn is transiting is Sagittarius; natal Mercury is nine signs away from transiting Saturn giving 9thhouse results viz. fortune and luck.Goto: Example 1.23Important PointsThe ashtakavarga points cannot give results that are not promised in the natal chart. Also the transitscannot produce fabulous results if the dashas of that time do not condone it.Ashtakavarga is for finely tuning the transits of the planets through the signs/houses. The primaryimportance of ashtakavarga is attributed to the house/sign the planet is located, lordship is secondary.A planet influences the house/sign to the degree that planet has contributed tothat house in its ownashtakavarga (BAV).

Sadhe SatiDuring this period that Saturn is approaching the Moon, either 12th, 1st

or 2ndfrom the natal Moonwhen Saturn enters a kakshya of a planet that has contributed a point to Saturnsashtakavarga theperiod will be favorable otherwise it will not. If the sarvastakavarga points (SAV) are high above 33the results will be good.Goto: Example 2.DashaFind the kakshya occupied by the dasha lord in the natal chart D-1. If the kakshya lord has contributeda bindu/point to the dasha lords ashtakavarga in the sign occupied by the lord inthe natal chart, then itwill produce good in this entire period.Look to the dasha lords transit through the kakshya and if that planet has contributed a bindu/point in the signbeing transited from the natal chart there will be a good event.Goto : Example 3.SAV - Sarvashtakavarga (Samudaaya Ashtakavarga)In addition to looking at the transit planets natal BAV, we should also look at the natal SAV Samudaaya Ashtakavarga. If, for example, SAV has 40 bindus in Pisces, then it means that Pisces isvery strong in the chart. Planets transiting in Pisces, tend to give good results irrespective of theirstrength. Of course, if a planet with 6 bindus in Pi in its own BAV and a planetwith 2 bindus in Pi inits own BAV are transiting Pi, the former planet will produce better results than the latter planet.Bindus in the individual BAVs of planets also matter, but SAV will dominate overthe BAVs if it hastoo many or too few bindus.Planets transiting in rasis with more than 28 bindu in SAV usually bring favorable results. Planetstransiting in rasis with less than 25 bindus in SAV usually bring unfavorable results, e.g. danger orsorrow, the intensity proportional to the no. bindus.Timing with Sodhya PindasParasara taught some techniques of timing events based on sodhya pindas. We cantake the number ofrekhas or bindus in any house from a planet and multiply the count with the planets sodhya pinda. Wecan get a nakshatra from that product by dividing it with 27, taking the remainder and countingnakshatras from Aswini. Benefics and malefics transiting in the nakshatra will give good or bad results(respectively) relating to the original house. Especially Saturns transit is important. Saturnstransit in the nakshatra corresponding to a particular house makes the signifiedmatters suffer.Goto: Example 424Jupiters transit is beneficial and important. Some people also take the 10th or 19th nakshatra

from the nakshtra found above. A nakshatra and the 10th and 19th nakshatras fromit are owned by thesame planet under Vimsottari dasa scheme and they go together.We can also find a rasi by dividing the product with 12 instead of 27 and counting rasis from Aries.Saturns transit in the resultant rasi brings misfortune relating to the originalhouse. However,nakshatras are more important.When we want to time events relating to a particular matter, we should first fixthe relevant planet.Then we should fix the relevant house. We should then find the number of rekhasor bindus in thathouse from that planet in that planets BAV. We should multiply it by the sodhya pinda of the planet(also called yoga pinda). By dividing the product with 27 or 12 and taking the remainder, we shouldfind the associated nakshatra or rasi. Then we can time key events based on thetransits in thatnakshatra and rasi.For example, suppose we want to time the good and bad periods of a natives father. Father should beseen from Sun and the 9th house. We can take Suns BAV and find the number of bindus in the 9thhouse from Sun; the 9thhouse is chosen because one of its significance is righteousness, fortune, luck.Suppose Sun is in Aq. Suppose Suns BAV contains 5 bindus in Li (the 9th from Aq). Suppose Sunssodhya pinda is 86. Multiplying 86 with 5, we get 430. If we divide 430 by 27, the quotient is 15 andthe remainder is 25. The 25th constellation is Poorvabhadrapada. So Saturns transit inPoorvabhadrapada is bad for father and Jupiters transit in the same nakshatra isgood. Now let us findthe rasi. By dividing 430 by 12, we get a quotient of 35 and a remainder of 10.So Saturns transit inCp (the 10th rasi of the zodiac from Aries) is bad for father and Jupiters transit in Cp is good.Taras (Stars)By Jyotisha Guru P.V.R. Narasimha RaoBasic Tara ClassificationWe can count constellations from the constellation of natal Moon to the constellation occupied by aplanet in transit. Suppose natal Moon is in Makha and transit Moon is in Swaati.Countingconstellations from Makha, we get (1) Maksha, (2) Poorva Phalguni, (3) Uttara Phalguni, (4) Hasta,(5) Chitra and (6) Swaati. So Swaati is the 6th constellation from natal Moons constellation. Fromtable 15 the 6this in the group:{6th, 15th, 24th, Saadhana Tara, Achievement (good) }; thus this transit is good for initiating

an event,at this time, during the Moons transit of Swaati, given the birth chart.Different constellations from the constellation of natal Moon stand for different things, as shown inTable 15. If a planet is in a bad tara in its transit, it cannot give its full results. If dasa lord andantardasa lord as per Vimsottari dasa are in bad taras, bad results can be expected.

If a planet be in his sign of debilitation or inhis enemys house, thehouse occupied by him will be damaged.Goto Example 82623.24 if a benefic planet happens to own a dusthana {6th, 8th, 12th} this will destroy the houseoccupied by him even if he may be occupying his sign of exaltation.In the Horasara-by Prithuyasas (son of Varahamihira) from Phala Deepika:24.1,2,3 - The 9thsign reckoned from the sign occupied by the Sun is called house of the father.Multiply the benefic bindus in that house by the figure denoting the Sodhyapinda. The figuresoarrived at should be divided by 27 [take the remainder number and count from Ashwini]. When Saturnpasses through the nakshatra represented by that figure, in course of his transit, something bad willhappen to the father. Death will occur when Saturn passes through the nakshatrain trine to thisnakshatra.Goto Example 924.7 Multiply the number of benefic bindus in the sign 4

thfrom the Moon, in the Ashtakavarga of theMoon, by the figure of the sodhyapinda in the Ashtakavarga of the Moon. Divide the product bt 27,when Saturn in the course of his transit passes through the nakshatra represented by the remainder(counted from Aswini) or its triangular nakshatra, the death of the mother may be expected.Goto Example 10.24.11 In the Ashtakavarga of Jupiter add up all the benefic bindus remaining after the trikona andekadhipatya sodhana (reductions) and from this sum deduct the number of bindus in the malefic signs.The number of the children the native will have will be the remainder.Goto Example 1124.13 In the Ashtakavarga of Saturn, multiply the sodhyapinda figure by the number of benefic bindusin the house 8thfrom the lagna and divide the product by 27. The death of the native may be expectedwhen Jupiter or Saturn in the course of his transit passes through the nakshatra(counted fromAshwini) indicated by the remainder.Goto Example 1224.14 In the Ashtakavarga of Saturn add up the number of benefic bindus in the houses from theLagna to that occupied by Saturn both inclusive. In the same way add up the benefic bindus in thehouses from Saturn to the Lagna both inclusive. The years indicated by these figures will bringdistress, danger or disaster to the native.Goto Example 1324. 39-40. In which houses from the Lagna to the 12thhouse, the number of benefic bindus are more,good results may be expected in the course of the transits, when the number is less, only adverseeffects will come to pass. This principle is applicable only to houses other than the 6th, the 8thand the12th(Dhustana houses of disease and death).All auspicious functions and ceremonies should be performed during the transitsthrough thesigns which contain greater number of benefic bindus.Goto Example 14

27Mantreshwaras Principles of Transits:26.30 : The planets fail to assert their full effects in the course of their transit in the followingcircumstances:If a planet yielding adverse effects is aspected by a benefic, his evil effects are cancelled.A benefic planet is deprived of his beneficial effects if he is aspected by amalefic.A planet loses his capability to do good if he is aspected by an inimical planet or planets.Goto Example (16)29.32 : Favourable planets if in the course of their transit :are placed in their sign of debilitationor in an inimical sign (enemys)or be placed by the Suns rays (combust)-lose their power to produce good effects.If the planets in the above circumstances get placed in an evil house, they yield very adverseeffects.Goto Example (16)

29:26: If the star (nakshatra) occupied by the Sun at the time of a transit: happens to be the Vedha star to the natal star (Janma Nakshatra), there will beapprehension of danger to life. If the Adhana Nakshatra (19thfrom Janma Nakshatra) there will be fear and anxiety. If to the Karmanakshatra (10thfrom Janma Nakshatra) loss of wealth If the Sun in the above position be associated (conjunction, within 6-degrees)with a malefic, death has to be expected.Goto Example (17)29:28: If there are Malefics in the 19th10th, 3rd, 1st, 23rd, 5th, or 7threckoned from the Janma nakshatra

during their transit on a particular day there will be danger to life. If the planet be benefic, failure inundertaking will be the only result.Goto Example (18)Effects of Latta29:41: Note the following Lattas for the transits on a particular chosen day:(a) 12thnakshatra from the nakshatra occupied by the Sun.(b) 3rdnakshatra from the nakshatra occupied by Mars.(c) 6thnakshatra from the nakshatra occupied by Jupiter.(d) 8thnakshatra from that occupied by Saturn.(e) 5thnakshatra from that occupied by Venus.(f) 7thnakshatra from that occupied by Mercury.(g) 8thnakshatra from that occupied by Rahu.(h) 22ndnakshatra from that occupied by the Moon.Goto Example (19)

2829:45-46: The Latta effects are:o If the janma Nakshatra happens to come as the Latta Star the native will suffer from illnessand mental anxiety:o During the Suns Latta there will be financial loss in every venture.o During the Latta of Rahu there will be grief and unhappiness.o There will be death of the native, destruction of kinsmen and fear during theLatta of Jupiter.o Quarrels will take place during the Latta of Venus.o Loss of position may be expected during the Latta of Mercury.o The native will suffer excessive financial loss during the Latta of the Moon.Goto Example (20)Rasi Gochara Vedha (Sign Transit Obstructions)When a planet is transiting in a favorable house from natal Moon, it may be obstructed by anotherplanet transiting in the vedha sthana (house of obstruction). In that case, theplanet cannot give itsgood results. The vedha sthaanas of all good transits of all planets are listed

in Table 14.Table 14: Vedha SthaanasTransiting planet Auspicious houses from natal Moon (Corresponding vedha sthanasin parantheses)Sun 3 (9), 6 (12), 10 (4), 11 (5)Moon 1 (5), 3 (9), 6 (12), 7 (2), 10 (4), 11 (8)Mars 3 (12), 6 (9), 11 (5)Mercury 2 (5), 4 (3), 6 (9), 8 (1), 10 (8), 11 (12)Jupiter 2 (12), 5 (4), 7 (3), 9 (10), 11 (8)Venus 1 (8), 2 (7), 3 (1), 4 (10), 5 (9), 8 (5), 9 (11), 11 (6), 12 (3)Saturn 3 (12), 6 (9), 11 (5)Vedha points: this is an obstruction. If the Su is in the 11thit does good. But if at the same time thereis a planet in the 5th, its capacity to do good is obstructed. For the Su there is no vedha from Sa and vice-versa. Me does not cause vedha to the Mo.Vedha - Points of Obstruction summary:Planets, when transiting from the natal moon, give good and bad results as per the normal rules of transits.However, sometimes it so happens that a planet transiting a favorable house fromthe natal moon, is unable togive its normal good results due to obstructions of some other transiting planets in particular positions from thenatal moon.For example, in the case of the sun, the sun gives you good results in the 3rd,6th, 10th or 11th houses from thenatal moon. However, should there be a Vedha taking place for the sun, then thesun is not able to give goodresults. Therefore, the points of obstruction for the suns favorable result is 9th, 12th, 4th, and 5th; respectively.Therefore, when the Sun is passing through a favorable point say, 3rd house fromthe natal moon, if at the sametime any other planet is passing through the 9th house from the natal moon, thenthe expected good result of thesun may not come true. Vedha (obstruction) points for each planet are opposite the corresponding number ofgood points shown in the table.The table works backwards in a converse fashion. The numbers above the line arehouses of benefic transits ofthe planet and the numbers below the line correspond as mentioned above. We canalso look at the numbersbelow the line as houses of malefic transits of the planet, and the corresponding numbers above the linerepresent the points of obstruction to the malefic transits. Conversely, if thesun is passing through the 9th houseand at the same time, there is a planet in the 3rd house (all from the natal moon), the negative result of the sun isobstructed, thereby canceling out the negative results.There are two very important exceptions to the rules here. The transit relationship between the Sun and29Saturn, and the transit relationship between the Moon and Mercury are not applicable to this Vedhatable of obstructions.

Understanding Vedha points gives insight into expected results due to planets transiting good houses unable toshow which is due to obstruction houses being occupied by other planets at the same time.

31Special Nakshatras/TarasThere are a few special nakshatras for each person: The constellation occupied by natal Moon is called Janma nakshatra. Janma meansbirthand this nakshatra shows general well-being. The 10th constellation from janma nakshatra is called Karma nakshatra. Karma meansprofession and this nakshatra shows profession and workplace. The 18th constellation from janma nakshatra is called Saamudaayika nakshatra.Saamudaayika roughly means related to a crowd and this nakshatra shows group activities. The 16th constellation from janma nakshatra is called Sanghaatika nakshatra. Sanghaatikaroughly means belonging to group and this nakshatra shows group/social activities. The 4th constellation from janma nakshatra is called Jaati nakshatra. Jaati roughly meanscommunity and this nakshatra shows ones community. To be more correct, ones jaatishows people who belong to the same class, nature and profession. The 7th constellation from janma nakshatra is called Naidhana nakshatra. Naidhana meansdeath and this nakshatra shows death and suffering. The 12th constellation from janma nakshatra is called Desa nakshatra. Desa means countryand this nakshatra shows ones country. The 13th constellation from janma nakshatra is called Abhisheka nakshatra. Abhisheka meanscoronation and this nakshatra shows power and authority. This is also called Raajyanakshatra (kingdom). The 19th constellation from janma nakshatra is called Aadhaana nakshatra. Aadhaana meansepoch/conception and this nakshatra shows well-being of family.

The 22th constellation from janma nakshatra is called Vainaasika/Vinaasana nakshatra.Vainaasika means destructive and this nakshatra shows ones destruction. The 25th constellation from janma nakshatra is called Maanasa nakshatra. Maanasa meansmind and this nakshatra shows ones mental state.Benefics or malefics situated in these constellations in their transit bring good or bad results related tothe area covered by the nakshatra. However, it should be kept in mind that the results will be withrespect to the native. For example, malefics transiting in desa nakshatra may not ruin ones country.After all, any country has almost the same number of people with desa nakshatrain each constellation.When many malefics are transiting in desa nakshatra, one may be driven away fromones country orstart hating ones country. Similarly, many malefics transiting in jaati nakshatramay alienate one fromones community. Many benefics transiting in karma nakshatra may give success atworkplace. Thisis how these special nakshatras should be used. Sometimes, using these nakshtrasgives specialinsights that cannot be gained by looking at any divisional chart.

32Sarvatobhadra ChakraFrom Jyotisha Guru Narasimha Rao-

Definition: Sarvatah means everywhere or entirely. Bhadra means auspicious or well.Sarvatobhadra chakra is a chart that shows all-round well-being and all kinds ofauspicious andinauspicious results.There are 9 x 9 = 81 squares in the chart. Middle 7 squares on the outer borderscontains 7 nakshatraseach. Abhijit (the last quarter of Uttarashadha) is included among the nakshatras. The innermost 5squares contains weekdays and tithis (lunar days). The notation regarding tithisis:(1) The entry Nanda represents 1st, 6th, 11th, 16th, 21st and 26th tithis.(2) The entry Bhadra represents 2nd, 7th, 12th, 17th, 22nd and 27th tithis.(3) The entry Jaya represents 3rd, 8th, 13th, 18th, 23rd and 28th tithis.(4) The entry Rikta represents 4th, 9th, 14th, 19th, 24th and 29th tithis.(5) The entry Poorna represents 5th, 10th, 15th, 20th and 30th tithis.Rasis are also included in the chart. Some consonants are listed in the squres just inside the bordersquares. All the squares lying on diagonals of the chart, except the central square of the chart, containvowels. There are 16 vowels and 20 consonants that are covered. We see that 16 (

vowels) + 20(consonants) + 12 (rasis) + 28 (nakshtras) + 5 (tithis and weekdays) = 81.Vedha: When a planet occupies a nakshatra, it causes vedha (obstruction) on thecontents of thesquares along 3 lines. We can draw one vertical or horizontal line and two crossward lines starting atthe nakshatra. Contents of the squares on the lines have vedha from the planet.Example : Let us say Saturn is in Punarvasu. We see that Punarvasu is on the eastern border.Drawing a horizontal line to the west from it, we see that the consonant h, rasiCn, vowel au, tithisBhadra (2nd, 7th, 12th, 17th, 22nd and 27th), weekdays Monday and Wednesday, vowel am, rasi Sc,consonant y and constellation Moola are on this line. So Saturn in Punarvasu causes vedha on allthese.Drawing a crossward line to the northwest from it, we see that the consonant k,rasis Ta and Ar,consonant d and constellation Poorva Bhadrapada are on this line. So Saturn in Punarvasu causesvedha on all these.Drawing a crossward line to the southwest from it, we see that the consonant d (alveolar), consonant mand constellation Uttara Phalguni are on this line. So Saturn in Punarvasu causes vedha on all these.There are some special principles:(1) A planet in the first quarter of Krittika or the last quarter of Bharani has vedha on the vowela which is in the northeastern corner. A similar thing applies to all the vowels in corners.(2) If an vowel has vedha, its similar vowel (e.g. a and aa, i and ee, u and uu) also has vedha fromthe same planet.(3) Some consonants are not covered in this chart. Planets in Ardra have vedhaon g, chh and ng(nasal). Planets in Hasta have vedha on h, n (alveolar) and th (alveolar). Planets in Poorvashadha havevedha on dh (dental), ph and dh (alveolar). Planets in Uttara Bhadrapada have vedha on th (dental), jhand nch (nasal).(4) If a planet has vedha on one of the following pairs of consonants, it has vedha on the other onetoo: b & v; s & sh (palatal); kh & sh (alveolar); j & y; ng & tr.

33Using Sarvatobhadra Chakra: We should find the following in the natal chart:(1) the constellation occupied by Moon or any special tara(2) the rasi occupied by lagna or any house of interest(3) the first/prominent consonant and vowel in the natives name(4) the tithi of birth (janma tithi) or a special tithi(5) the weekday of birth (janma vaara)We should study the vedha caused on these by different planets in their transit.

Vedha by benefics(Moon, Mercury, Jupiter and Venus) is favorable and vedha by malefics (Sun, Mars, Saturn, Rahu andKetu) is unfavorable. If several transiting benefics have simultaneous vedha onseveral natal pointslisted above, then good results may be expected. Malefics, on the other hand, give bad results.In addition to considering janma nakshatra, we can consider special nakshatras related to the matter ofinterest. Suppose we want to find the transit results related to career. Then wecan take karmanakshatra of natal chart [take the planets position in the D-10 chart and enterthem in theSarvatobhadra chart. See the vedhas on them for that day in yiur career] and seethe vedhas on it intransit chart.Similarly, we can take the tithi corresponding to the matter of interest. For example, we can takekarma tithi (lunar day of profession) instead of janma tithi when finding transitresults related tocareer.Karma tithi is a little different from normal tithi. To find karma tithi, we multiply the differencebetween Moons longitude and Suns longitude with 10 and reduce the product to a value between 0and 360 (by adding or subtracting multiples of 360). We divide it by 12 and add 1to the quotient.That gives a number between 1 and 30 [the lunar day] and that represents karma tithi. Karma tithichanges 10 times as fast as normal tithi. Similarly dhana tithi (lunar day of wealth) changes twice asfast as normal tithi. We can find a tithi for several matters. The tithi relevant to the matter of interest[the divisional charts from D-2 to D-60 ] should be used when finding vedha of transiting planets ontithis (Nanda, Bhadra, Jaya, Rikta and Poorna).Let us take an example. If the 10th house, karma nakshatra [D-10 chart], karma tithi [the lunar day ofauspicious career growth] and janma vaara all have the vedha of a couple of transiting benefics, thensome good developments may take place in the natives career. If they have the vedha of a couple ofmalefics (instead of benefics), then we can expect setbacks in the natives career. In this manner, westudy the impact of transits on important tithis, janma vaara, important nakshatras and importanthouses in natal chart. If just one natal reference has vedha from just one planet, we cannot make anypredictions. But, if 2-3 natal reference have vedha from a couple of benefic/malefic transitplanets, then we can be more confident. However, a prediction should be made only if dasas andTajaka charts also show an event.
