PREFACE

In the delineations of horoscope, one ha s to deal with many problems which have already been detailed, the author's world famous book 'SCIENTIFIC ANALYSIS OF HOROSCOPE' based on Hindu astrology, which book became a big volume, so the important aspects of CONJUNCTIONS OF PLANETS could not be included in the book.

The authors's mind was in constant agitated form that withoullhis important aspect, how the correct delination of horoscope can be made. Finally, the author has the honour to present Ihis work 10 the learned readers.

In this book, th e effects of conjunction of Planets of two to seven Planets in a house have been described in detail. Pilhuyasas, son of Varahamihira has said that effects of conjunction is jusl the mixture of honey and ghcc, if combined in equal quantities will turn out as poison. Each conjunction has been detailed for its benefic and malefic resu lts.

In a conjunction when a planet is found ret rogradc or combust, it becomes difficult to offer the correct predictions. In this book, all ef­forts have been made to expound this point in detail.Care is to be taken for the aspects and the position of house and sign for the planct.

One important chapter 'AS PECTS AND TRANSIT OF PLANETS' has now been added and other chapters have been revised.

Every human being desires 10 escape from the Evi ls and malefi~ ef­fects of the planets and to mitigate, minimise and to ward off such ef­fects, suitable, cheap and practical upayes have been suggested in a very detailed way through the articles, relations and professions of various planets and hou.ses,propitations of planets have also been in­cluded through Mantras, donations, Tantric Upayes, Gems, Colou rs and Surya Namaskar (Prayer to Sun God).

A few practical examples have also been included for the practice IIf readers.

The llUlhnr is thankfultoall readers in INDIA and ABROAD grant­lItH mas.s.ive po pul:uily 10 my work necessitating the SECOND Edition.

Also the author is thankful to the press who have published a good, rightful and constructive reviews of author's works.

Combustion and Retrogration

There are 12 Zodiacal signs and 27 constellations divided into four Quarters (Padas) each, seven planets and two shadowy planets so in all tbere are nine planets.The SUD, Venus ane Mercu'ry roughly move in each sign for 30 days, Mars moves in 40 days, Moon moves in 21/4 days, Jupiter moves in 360 days, Rahu and Ketu in 540 days and Saturn in 900 days. The various divisions of the signs, the sources of strength and weakness among the planets., the names and identifying marks of constellations aU are not provided in tbis book and may be rdered in book: SClENTlF1C ANALYSIS OF HOROSCOPE by your author.

For the correct delineations ortbe horoscope, one should first check the planetary strength and position, then aspects, then the good and evil resulls which accure to planets from ownership and then associa­tion and conjunctions.

In a conjunction of planets, we observe that in addition to the abovbe points, there are two more important factors namely CUMBUSTION and RETROGRATION which needs to be chcked and analysed. These two factors are detailed here-under for the guidance of re .. ders.

COMBUSTION

Combustion or in Hindi called Asta has a great singnilicance or im­portance in tbe interpretation of horoscope. Planets become combust when they are within certain limits oftbe Sun. According to Surya Sid­hanta the foUowing limits of combu.>tion are indicated from the Sun on either side in Hindu Astrology. Combustion is one of the modes of conjunction. The limits are:-

Moon within 12 degrees of Sun.

Mars within 17 degrees of Sun.

Mercury within 14 degrees of Sun and 12 degrees when retrograde. Jupiter within 11 degrees of Sun.

Venus within 10 degrees of Sun and 8 when retrograde.

Saturn within 15 degrees of Sun.

Rahu combusts Sun and Ketu eclipses the Moon.

Western Astrology allows an orb go.30' either side of the Sun for a planet beoomingcombuSi. An inherent contradiction is evident in this

2

theory as, a uniform orb for aU celestial bodies of various sizes and dis­tances, can not be conceived.

In Pbaldeepika Adhaya XX Solb. 30. it is laid down, 'The good in· nuence of a planet is at its maximum.. three quarter, a balf quarter or nil as the planets are in the exaltation, Swaksbetra, fricnd1y sign, inim· ical sign or depression sign respectively. The proportions given above are with respect to benefics or lords of the benefic houses. In the case of malefics or lords of malefic houses. it will be reverse. When a planet is in combustion its effects will be similar to that in depression" i.e. debilitation or nil quantitatively.

Parasara says that planets are capable of optimum self expression occupying the 7tb house from the Sun which however becomes nil when conjuncting with the Sun.

Parasara has also said that when 9th lord is debilitated or combust it makes the native resort to begging for alms. Should Saturn occupy 6th, 8th or 12th house, debilitation or combust troubles through poison, weapon. change of place or job, cause (or great fear, death of parent, ill bea1tb of wife and children, troubles through state. loss, confinement etc. are denoted.

Varahamihira says the planets that are debilitiated, vanquished in car, combust by the Sun, devoid of rasmis or dwarfed become like ser­pents immunilized by mantra or spell.

In Sarvartha Chintaman~ the author Prof. B. Suryanarain Rao has said in stanza 152 while suggesting that ~If the lord of any bhave is com­bust with 'the Sun (or occupies 8tb etc.) without tbe association or aspect of beneficia1 planets, the Bhave's results become defunct.

In our classical works it is said that during the dasa of a planet in combustion, one will be drawn into unnecessary connicts and quarels, wife and children are afflicted and one meets with the death of serious accidents.

So from the above discussion we find that a planet is said to lose its power completely when it is within a certain distance from the Sun as detailed abovbe. MERCURY BEING AN EXCEmON. This is called Ravi-Budha-Y oga. In addition the planet is called combust when posited in the same degrees and minutes of longitude as the one occupied by the Sun then it is said to be in "RAPT CONJUNCfJON" with the Sun and it is considered to be eclipsed and becomes utterly powerless.

3

It is also provided by our sagees that planets within a distance of 5 degrees from the Sun are in full combustion, if however they are 10 degrees apart from the Sun, the combustion is partial or ordinary. When the planet is beyond 15 degrees. there is no combustion at a1l.

In other classical and various texts and also in Jatak Tatva it is stated that the dasa of a planet that is eclipsed (combust) will cause troubles and produce untoward results. In Jatak Parijat it is laid that the planet may not prove auspicious when they are eclipsed by Sun;s rays also a planet is a house cannot advance it if its lord is eclipsed.

Kalidasa in Uttrakalamrita bas stated that one's longevity is reduced if a planet other than Venus or Saturn is combust.

Ptolemy has said planets when they arc rising or stationary produce intensification in the events but when setting, and under the rays of Sun (combust) or advancing at evening, they bring about an abatement.

Alfred 1. Pearce, William Lily, C.E.O. Cartor has also agreed on combustion and say that planets under combustion become powerless. Venus in the heart of Sun CAZIMI gives vast honours and dignities. Sun with Dragons Head (Rahu) is good.

According to Hindu Astrology, Rahu combuts or eclipses Sun while Ketu eclipses the Moon.

DISCUSSION

In the foregoing verses quoted from the old treatises we find that combust planet becomes powerless but Venus, Mercury and Saturn are exempted from combustion. The combust planet is deprived of its natural characteristics. AU that it denotes or signifies as a Karka is destroyed, wholly or partially depending on how close the planet is to the Sun.

Each month Sun conjoins Moon and each year Sun conjoins the other planets at sometime, at whicb time they cease to be seen in the night sky.They will be seen on the Western horizon just after Sunset and after some days or week's absence will reappear on the Eastern horizon before Sunrise. The disappearance may be days before the conjunction with the Sun and it may not reappear in the East before Sunrise till many days after the conjunction with the Sun. The disap­ppearance in Heliacal Setting and the reappearence the Heliacal Rising.

The close conjunction of Sun Venus gives a warm hearted, cheerful and affectionate disposition, inclines one to art, but is sometimes bad for marriage and makes the native resentful and combative. The Moon

• does not become combust but when very near the Sun becomes" the New Moon when he is said to waning and weak which is actually the same as if the Moon in this position was described as comhust.

Mercury though liable to combustion astronomically seem to grow in astrological strength when very close to Sun. tn (act a special yoga. Budha Aditya Yoga or Ravi Budha Yoga is generated by Mercury's proximity to tbeSuD. This Yoga is only formed when Mercury tbough combust is in his own or Moohrikona house. The combustion of Mer· cury sharpens the intelligence.

The interpretation of conjunction much depend upon the sib"ll and house wruch cancells the dosha caused due to combustion if the planet is with a planet in his own or exaltation house or in the association with Kendra (angular) <lnd trikona (trines) lords.

The general principle observd in the proper evaluations is to look for the props for weakness and dents against strength in order to ar· rive at a blanced picture. A planet exalted in rasi for instance and debilitated in Navamsa, it is cut to size. Thirdly when a natural or func· tionally benefic planet aspects an ill placed planet. the latter is absolved of its weakness or a considerable part ofit. These are some well recog· nised principles.

Varahamihira says on Ayurdaya that in the matter of deduction of longevity years due to combustion of Venus and Saturn are exempted from half reduction. Also Mercury is exempted from such deductions due to conlbinbatin

SUN MERCURY CONJUNCTION

Sun Mercury conjunction is common in many horoscopes as Mer· cury remains near the Sun and as detailed above Ihis is exempted from the combustion. Almost all astro\ogiacal works agree thaI Sun· Mer· eury combination is auspicious. The following arc some of the results ascribed by different writers:·

Fluctuating wealth, polite speech famous, respected, liked by king, a great man, wealthy and strong.

The person will have glaring beauty and strength but he will be fickle minded.

The person will be famous, clever, intelligent and happy etc.

The abvove analysis does not impose any limitation as to tbe dis· tance between tbe planets conjoining though by implication, we bave to assume that the extent and nalure oflhe results depends much upon

i

the distance between the combining bodies. There are as usual dif­ferent shades of the combustion and combination being one of the modes of conjunction, it cannot be always treated as harmful.

So we shaH now summarise the main findings of the foregoing dis­cussion:-

1. Combustion of a planet in a horoscope is no doubt unfortunate

2. It is however nothing to be alarmed.

3. It is far less fearful that Saturn adversely placed or the lord of22nd Drekkana.

4. There are other factors like aspects. position of planets in sign and house, lordship wte. which we must look for.

5. At its worst, its effects will be mixed.

6. Venus. Mercury and Saturn are comparatively less fearworthy than other.

7. As all astrological afflictions., combinations, effects too is capable of being over come by Gems, mantras,yantras and medicines etc. such details are provided in Chapter II and IV for each combustion or conjunction of planet.

ORBS

In aspect and conjunction 'ORB' has great importance. Technical­ly, 'ORB' is the distance in longitude within which the influence of a planet or aspect will operate.

In ancient times it was taught that each planet had an ~ORB~ or 'sphere' of influence which extended beyond its own body out into space in all directions; in fact,it might be termed the 'aura' of the planet; and that the influence or 'rays' of tbe planets were mingled as soon as the peripheries of thses 'ORBS' came into contact or into aspecting distance, as the case might be. The latest researches in scientificAstrol­ogyseem to be approaching an actual physical explanation of this state­ment, and there can be little doubt that it is the true basis of the ·ORBS" employed by astrologers and thus will explain why 'orb' should differ for each planet, as well as for every aspect. But we are here concerned with the practical application of the term, which indicates how many degreesof'approaeh' and 'departure' maybe allowed before and after any aspect becomes technically complete. The following must be ac­cepted and not taken as hard and fast rules.

6

For conjunction or oposition allow 12 degrees when SUD aspects Moon, about 10 degree either luminary aspects a planet, and about 8 degrees for planets aspecting each other.

For Saquare and Trine about 8 degree all round may be allowed For Sextile .." for Semisquare and Sesiquiquadrate 40 For semisextile and Ouincunx '!l For the parallel of declination one degree.

Theses arc the outside limits. In all cases the closer an aspect is, the stronger it is, and vice versa. An aspect that is only just within orbs is very weak. In some cases two planets that 3rc widely apart by aspect may be brought closer together by a third planet.

But by way of guide and in order to assist the mind, the approximate interval, during which any conjunction or opposition between any of the planets Saturn. Jupiter and Mars remains within 8 degrees orb which has been given as outside limit. may be stated as follow; Saturn and Jupiter, one year, Saturn and Mars, very variable according to the position of earth at the time, but say one month, these periods are ap­proximate. For other conjunctions, the Ephemeris for the year of birth will of course. show exactly how long they remain in force

Before elucidating conjunctions of the various planets, it is quite necessary to study the rules of the astrology of aspects and conjunc­tion of the planets. The readers should memorise them for correct predictions. These instructions arc very important and cannot be ig­nored in the delineations.

VALUABLE INSTRUCTIONS

1. Kendras, Trikonas, Panaparas, and planetary combinations are generalyto be taken from the Lagna (Ascendant) unless from the con­text you are otherwise advised.

2. The ownership of the planets is a constant factors. It does nO( cbange.

3. Aspects are nearly as powerful as the planetary conjunctions.

4. Planets in conjunction or Parallel with Saturn is considered good.

s. It there are two or three debilitiated planets in the horoscope, the person will have many misfortunes.

6. Good and Evil planets (by ownership) give the ir rcuslts mostly in their periods and sub periods or Dasas and Bhuktis,

7. When lord of a Kendra and Kana or Trine combine in a house or mutually aspect each other, both acquire great strengt h to do good.

7

8. Combinations from the Moon are as valuable as those from Lagna and predictions may be safely ventured on such.

9. Conjunction of Evil planets, produce bad health, unless they are aspccted by benefics.

10. By the association or aspect of benefic planet with natural, the nelural planet gains strength to do good, while the benefic retains its original power.

11. Lords of Kana (1st, 5th and 9th houses) give good, while lords of 3rd 6th, and 11th houses produce evil results.

12. When benefics own kendras produce evil, but malefics own kendras produce good. Good and Evil planets become morc and more powerful as they are lords of kendras (1st. 4th 7th and 10th) houses; 5th and 9th houses or 3ed. 6th and 11th houses respectively.

In this connection we will clarify that SUD, Saturn, Mars. weak Moon and badly associated Mercury termed as natural are malefic planets. Jupiter, Venus, well associated Mercury and Full Moon are natural good planet_so Lord of 1st is weaker than lord of 4th, lord of 4th is less powerful than that of 7th house, and lord of 7th is weaker than lord of 10th house. The same gradation applies to trines (Ist. 5th and 9th) and 3rd, 6th. and 11th houses also. In the case of evil planets, they gradually go stronger by beingowoers of the later quadrants or kendras and get the highest power when they become lord of 10th. The reverse , holds good with good planets. Benefics owing first house arc not so bad as those owing 4th and those who own 7th are worse than those who rule the 4th and those who own the 10th are worst of the whole lot. Remember difference between ownership and occupancy of the planet.

13. The lords of 2nd and 12th houses give good or bad results a-c­cordingly as they are in conjunction with lords of the other houses and the nature oflhe house they occupy. These lords are not powerful by virtue of their own merits by owing certain houses bUI are considerab­ly influenced to give good or evil results by the association or conjunc­tion and position they occupy.

14. Lord of 8th house produces evil results for peace and bappiness as it is 12th from 9th house, a house of fortune generally but not in all Cases. For Aries, Libra and Scorpio lord of 8th is also lord of 1st. and behaves good. In such cases we have to add that if a planet lord of 8th house happens to be the lord of 1st or combines with a benefic, be­comes good.

8

(i) Jupiter and Venus owning kendras become very inauspicious. When they occupy the 2nd and 7lh houses wilh such ownership, they become nowerful in inflicting death on the nalivel 2nd and 7th afC the nJ'araka or death houses. The effects will be shown during their periods anrt sub periods.

Oil Mercury is less malefic than Jupiter and Venus and MOON IS l.ESS THAT MERCURY. SUN AND MOON DO not give evil e .. en when they own 8th house. The exception also has been laid in favour of Mars and Venus when they nappeR to own first or biTt1- sign as explained in rule 14 supra.

(iii) Mars does not become good when he owns only the 10th bouse. He must own the 5th house also to become tboroughly good, and can happen only for a man born in Cancer or LeoLagna.

15. Rahu and Ketu give the same results as those given by the houses they occupy and the plane ts they are in conjunction with, when they are powerful.

The above rule we clear from the example of Leo birth. Rahu ac­cording to Parasara is exalted in Taurus and Kctu in Varischak or Scor­pio. Now Rahu alone in 10th house aspectcd by Saturn and Ketu from 4th house and Rahu occupies Venus house. Therefore the results in­dicated by Rahu are of Venus and Saturn. So we should carefully cal­culate and balance the strength before making any predictions about R ahu. Ketu is in the house of Mars with Satu rn, so will give the results of Mars and Saturn. But while calculating the results evil or benefic. they must be powerful. In this case both arc in exalted signs and will confer good results during their dasas and bhuktis or periods and sub periods.

For more details on Rahu and Ketu refer author's worldwide famous book "Saturn, a friend o r foe 1" Chapter-9.

Rahu and Ketu occupying kendras or Trikonas and combining with other planets produce yoga or success.

16. If the lord of Kendras are in conjunction with the lords of Tikonas (Trines) without being associated with the lords of other houses, they become extre mely powerful in producing Rajayoga.

Bul Sun and Moon have lordship of only one house, while others a rc of two houses so we can say the planets in conjunction may either own kcndras and Trikonas each in himself or may be lords of different houses which form kendras and lrikonas.

17. If the powerful lords orlhe kcndras and trikonas are in conjunc­tion. even when they ae otherNisc evil, they produce good results.

t8. If lords of 9th and 10th houses exchange places viz. if the lord of 9th occupies the 10th or the lord of 10 occupies the 9th house, they produce good resull s.

19. If the powcrrullords of kendra joins with anyone of the lords of trikona thcy produce Rajayoga.

But whcn lord of 9th and 10th houses are joined by the lords of 8th and 11th houses, success in endangered. \,

So the simple combination of the lords of 9th and 10th without the union of olhcr planets are best for Rajayoga. But when they are con­joined wilh the lords of other kendras and trikona houses they also produce good results.

20. PI;lncts dchilitatcd or evil cannot do anythi ng to the pe rson un­less thdr own periods operate. Thc planets may be exalted but what could thcy give.?

10

21. When friendly and unfriendly planets combine together they produce mixed and ordinary results. U the planets occupy quadrants, trines or places of exaltatiollS in conjunlion with friendly planet. They produe beller results.

22. A Datural malefic becomes benefic if he owns a Quadrant and become very powerful benefic if be owns a trine house.

23. A planet owning benefic and malefic houses al tbe same time becomes neutral.

24. Also a benefic by ownership if a planet occupies a malefic house becomes a netural.

25. Planets owning a benefic house alongwith the ownership of 6th, 8th or 12th bouse becomes a nelucal. He will do considerable evils during second half of their dasa and bhukti.

The student is now in full grip of the main rules required for the delineation of conjunction of the planets and are advised to apply them calmly and with intel(jgence.

RETROGRATION

The next point is how to analyse the conjunction of planelli when one or more planets are retrograde in tbe conjunction.

As the benefic influence of a retrograde planet is weakened . The relrogration is contrary to the regular direction of the planet and is in that respect EVIL. When malefic planets are relrocrade, lhe evil ef­fects are increased.

We will now deal this point in detail. The further details than staled below can be referred in author's famous book, "SAltJRN, A FRIEND OR FOE?"Chapler 11.

Sun and Moon have always direct mol ion whereas Rahu and Kelu have reverse motion. Other planels have direct and Retrograde mo­lions.

Due to difference in the speeds of planets, there is a continuous cbancge in tbe Zodic, one plane( overtaking and passing another, then apparently stowing, stopping and begining 10 move backward. The ap­parant stopping is a "Stationary position; the apparent backward move­ment is termed "Retrogration ".

The different periods of planets in retrogration are given below for the purpose of information and valuable use for finding out (he aclual occurence of an incidence.

The favourable innuence of a good aspect forwarded by a planet d uring rctrogration is considerably debilitated and faUs short of its ef­ficacy in the good results which would otherwise be indicated.

But the general principles are that innuence of benefic planet is weakened when they are Re trograde. The re!rogralion is contrary to the regular direction of the planet and is in that respect evil. Wbeo malefic planets are re trograde, the evil effects are increased. Aspect whether radical or progressed thai are thrown to a retrograde planet reduces the efficiency of the planet, what it promises falling short in ;u;tual results. Should bolh the planets be retrograde, the things indi­cated by the aspect would be deficient or disappointing. Hence Relrogration is considered a DEBILITY.

So when a planet is retrograde, it is teated as a debilitated planet ir­respective of its owvcrship, strength, position etc. and indicates its results being a retrograde planeL

So it is quite imperative to study the effects of re trograde planets. More details are provided in author's famous book, ~SATURN, A FR IEND OR FOE?

EFFECTS OF RETROGRADE PLANETS

1. Men:ury Retrograde. When in birth cbart Mercury is round retrograde, the native thinks in terms of symbols and insight, rather than facts and figures. The mind works morc easily on the sub con­cious level. hence their insight into motivations are of len uncanny and revealing. Such people are amazingly profound, creative, discovering possibilities which are more direct, obvious, practival mind overlooks. Such people talk to themselves and hum liltle tuncs.

As Mercury is connected with Education, literat ure, Intelligence and Astrology. So the person if a writer will prefer Siories of atmos­phere 10 action, Character 10 conflict. If astrologer, they are of len more accurate in natal analysis than in predictive work. unless an event or action is seen as an consequence of some inncr motivation, rather than outward circumstances. They do not always seem to hear other people. They justify their actions with reasons they grasp after the mat­ter is concluded .

It is always worthwile listening to people with Mercury retrograde. What they say may not apply to mailer at hand but is ultimatcly cor­rect.

2. Venus Retrograde. People with retrograde Venus do not find enjoyments in things liked by most people. Such individuals find it hard to adjust to outward social conditions. In conditions which re­quire tad and charm they arc truthful and blunt. The idealistic images or love. Se~ marriage, child birth arc quil e different for them. They tend to be fastidious about things which others do not consider impor­tant. They have generally reverse habits and thinki ng than the other people. They are also inclined tounconvenlional love expressions, may renounce< love ror religions; and become quite ceremonious.

3. Mars Retrograde. When Mars is retrograde in one's birth chart, the physical energy and vitali ty never rise to meet the challenge. It im­plies a stubborn, unyielding physical force which docs not move until some mystical reasons is found for its expression. It is orten key to im ­portance and frigdity, in men and women whose physical rorces arc not unlocked until implementd bysome non relatcd idea or ideal.

such persons often stop in the midcll!-, of a project to recapitu­late.They oft en make good scientists and doctors. They also succeed in other occupations which require handling of physical material in an objective, non involved way. They are very good at planning and or-

13

ganising the physical labour of other thoughts or develop quite dif­ferently.

Also such people are law unto themselves. They normally do not accept the traditional way but adopt unorthodex methods their ap­proach to life is different than usual established social norms. Mars retrograde when adversly configurated in Natal

Chart indicates persons must go under extensive and successive surgery.

Women with such retrograde Mars arc signs of marital troubles, causes the women to become frigid or to go 10 the other extremes and no middle course. Such women detest any intimate relations with their husbands bUI are easy with younger fellows they contact, they usualy get themselves into troubles.

Transitting Retrograde Mars follows the general principle thallhe powers of a re trograde planet progressively increases as its speed slows down reaching at peak during stationery period. So during its retroga­tion one should not buy arms or automobiles, buy new property or move into new house, to undergo surgery, to start a law suit, to join a new job, to have sex for the first time, to employ new servant or to enter into part ner ship.

Such people frequently rebel against their own desircs, try 10 Slime them preferring 10 act, when they have to, against tremendous odds. subconciously seeking an excuse for the failure they anticipate.

4. Jupiter Retrograde. People with Jupiter retrograde often find success in the failures of ot hers. They start at the point where others become discouraged, and have unique ability to succeed in projects which have been abandoned. They arc people who become surprised when they find opportunities are worked out with ease. Such people revive the failed company and uncover hidden assets etc. or in other words they do some remarkable jobs which cannot be done by others.ln order to achieve their'material goal, they prefer to bargain, employ in­direct subtle psychological warfare methods in achieving thcir goal. Such people do not respond enthusiastically to obvious opportunities for gain, but become immediately alert fo r profit s to be derived from such unpromising situation.

Being of subjective foresight, they seem out of step with the time. They predict disaster where others see success and vicervcrsa. They are specially good in situation which involve an unknown clcment a chance factor. The ne,abilitywhich is possible due to the unknown ele­mcnt becomes key to success. '

14

5. Saturn Retrograde. With Saturn retrograde, there is need to be on guard against a sobconcious defeatism which undermine thit most noble ambitions. Because of this self Protective fear motivation they tend to yield too easily to external influences. They either appear shy, uneasy, introverted, lacking in self assertion or attempt at limes to cover this insecurity with a pretext of arrogance.

They have strong sense that fate, some universal complclling force, controls their destiny_ They feel alone, isolated, sepcrated from their fellow men and seldom understood. They are secretivcs. They may be an apparent super sophistication about them, an air of total boredom, an impression that nothing could shock them, stemming from the fact that they really worry about being a bore and wish to con­ceal a fact that they are indeed, shockable.

Such people do not like to be known openly in public, for they sub­conciously fear there is no face behind the mask. They find security in intellectuals or spirituals.

6. Uranus Retrograde. People with Uranus retrograde are most creative, imaginable. rebellious, work a1ways for self,individualistic. In order to search identity and ego fulfilment, they orten reach the ,most magnificient heights of humanitarian actions. In their worst expres­sion they are self destructive, inclined to regard themselves as unap­preciated, constantly in court, wishing to reform everyone but themselves. Critics of others.

Uranus is a planet symbolising the Divine counter-part of the human ego. Such natives are generally at odds with their generation. He is the conscience of his fellows, which is why he so often seems to have none of his own.' Such people should bear in mind that those who would save their lives will lose them, and those who would lose their lives, in some higher cause than ego, will surely find them.

7. Neptune Retrograde. Such people with Neptune retrograde need to avoid parading their virtues before the world. There is a ten­dency to remind everyone else of tlteir righteousness, arousing resent­ment instead of admiration they seek. They should be selfish.

Spiritual inconsistancy is denoted in such people. Being psychic themselves, they may decry the reality of extrasensory skeptical of their own beliefs but suspect concealment of truth when others appear cyni­cal. Pride is apparently missing. They will conceal their ideas to such an extent that they will become so complicated that they do not under­stand their meaning themselves. They seek seclusion, escape from materia1 coils. They become very subtle. In their highest form of ex-

'5

pression they are able to revitalise old beliefs, and launch counter reformations of simplicity when religion becomes more ritualism or rcligjousity.

8. Pluto Retrograde. Pluto retrograde is found in birth charts of those,who subconsciously rebel against the force of group pressures and becomes the cause of collapse of established social moves. They becomes violently intolerant of intolerance. They form cliques to eradicate cliques. Such people are extremely conscious of social caste. The resistance to group pressures is their greatest single motivation. Such people have the seeds of anarchy or sainthood with them. A spe­cial trait for such people is the desire to the cbange of the course of personal inevitability and create an entirely new order for self. Their actions involving group excitement should be carefully and objective­ly analysed.

Notr: If a Retrograde planet is aspeeted by Jupiter, the results are amazingly good.

METHOD OF JUDGMENT

The best method to judge the influence of a retrograde planet is a measure of time, "One day for one year of life~ .

When a planet apparently changes its motion from Retrograde to direct or viceversa, by secondary progression, conversly direct allow­ing an orb of influence of one year on either side or when a planet or the lights crosses the equator or the ecliptic by the same method of progression within the life time of a person or of an undertaking, some particular phase of that person's lire, or that of the project under con­sideration is affected. Research seems to indicate that these periods usually coincide with the time of the termination of the issue or of the life itself or with the conclusion of some condition appertaining to it and thc begining of some other which alters its prevailing status.

It will be noted in applying this theory, that frequently, these indica­tions appear in the ephemeri in one progressed year before or after that of the actual occurance of the event, but this is no doubt due to the factor of time which enters into the matter. Therefore, make an allowance for this "orb of Influence." So summing up the whole discus­sion we come to the conslusion that'-

"A retrograde planet allows time to view the circumstances imper­sonally and to decide what to do about it unaffected by our emotions. There are times to use cautions, m<\ke an important moves untill the planet is in direct motion."

16

When it is in direct motion again, you can enjoy the fruits

0'

Plan the things when a planet turns retrograde and generally the plans will be completed when it turns direct and generally between tbese dales,. it is a period of marking time.

RETROGRESSION AND TRANSIT

Based on the abobvc rules and Astrological cannons we find that when a natural benefic planet traRsists a favourable House (1.2.4.5.7,9,10), if retrograde will give more good results.

But when a benefic retrograde planet transits malefic house (3,6.8.11,12), the evil results will be reduced to the minmum.

Also when a malefic retrograde planet transits a favourable house will neutralise the good effects of (hal house.

But when it transits a malefic house, of course a retrograde planet, the malefic effect of that house will become morc evils.

On the other hand, whcn the planet is direct, he will then be able to show his pressures to the people by speaking and agonising over them, the individual with the retrograde birth planet often goes through the ~ame agonies without being able to communicate, in any sensible way, what is happening to him.

A retrograde planet represent a psychic process turned in ward and not manageable, except with enormous efforts by the conscious ego. A direct planet represents a psychic process, or part or the personality that is manageable by the ego consciousness.

So, rar making analysis of a conjunction of planets the most difficult positions are COMBUSTION and RETROGRATION whcn these are found in conjuncting planets. With the above guide lines reader can now easily find the effects of such conditions which will help them in the correct analysis.

EFFECTS OF PLANETS FOR EACH ASCENDENT

In the foregoing MValuable Instruction" we have repeatedly men· tioned benefic or malefic planet. It may bame the readers, that which planets are benefic or malefic for particular ascendant? For the guidance of readers the same a re detailed below:

Likewise planets, there arc certain benefic and malefic Houses viz.; 1,2,4,5,7,9,10 are the benefic and 3,6,8,11, and 12 are the malefic

17

houses. The Planet s Jupiter,. Venus, Mercury and Moon are benefic Planets whereas Sun, Mars and Saturn are malefi c ones.

The effects of the planets can be divided broadly into Four parts:

1. The Planets which always produce Good or benefic results.

2. The Planets which produce always malefic results.

3. In this part,the planets always remain Neutral.

4. The Planets which give malefic and benefic results.

The above four pariS are detailed for the guidance of readers:

1. The most benefic houses are Trines or Trikona 1st, 5th and 9th houses. The lords orlhese houses give always benefic results, irrespec­tive of the fact the planets may be malefic even like Mars, Sat urn etc. In addition to the result conferred by them in the Hooscope as general, they also behave like that in their Dasa and Antar Dasa (Major period and sub period).

2. The malefic houses are 3rd, 6th, 8th 11th, Lords of these houscs a lways dcnote malefic results whether they arc benefic or if they are malefic, the evil results predominate for the effects as signified by house sign and planet. Such planet affects health and other matters but not the income.

3. Kendra houses 1st 4,7. 10th fall in this part. If the lords of these houses are benefic planets they dcnote malefic results and if are Malefic,then they confer the results either benefic or malefic . In the former case of benefi c plane t, it is not obligatory that thcy always work as malefic, they too ca n show benefIC results depending on Aspect, Ex­ahation, own rasi or sign position etc.

4. The planets in the fourth part are those which are lords of 2nd and 12th houses. These planets are such which will give both malefic and benefic results. The planet will give the results of these houses where the other rasi or sign oftheir lord is posited. But Sl,ln and Moon, when lords of 2nd or 12th houses will give the results where they are posited.

In case of Dasa of 12th house, lord and bhukti of a Yog Karka will give the effects of Raj Yoga.

Now in veiw ofthe above rules, we analyse the position of all planets for every Ascendant showing their benefic and malefi c nature is as per lordship of various houses.

CHAPI'ER II

Conjunctions of planets Technically conjunction means when two or morc planets are

posited in the Same degree of longitude, the term is so defined in Western astrology. Conjunction is not an aspect but is position.

According to Hindu Astrology. Conjunction occurs when two planets are in the same sign. irrespective of the distance between the two planets. The orb of aspects whether they are applying or seperat­ing are alien to Hindu astrology. When onc planet is within its orb of the body of another planet, or with the cusp of a house, it is said then to be in conjunction with that planet or cusp, the orb in the case of con­junction is 6 degrees. The erred of such position is good or bad ac­cording to the nature of the planets.

According to Hindu Astrology, we apend below briefly the general effects of each planet while conjuncting other planets in birth chart or in transit. Care is to be taken of the Aspects of the Planets on the con­junction of the house where the conjunction takes place. Also the sign where conjunction is posited and planet's avasthas viz; own house, debilitated, exaltation or Mootrikona etc. are also most important points for delineation.

SUN

Sun bas good conjunction with Jupiter, adverse conjunction with Mars, Saturn and Uranus. Conjunction with Neptune or Pluto is of doubtful nature.

MOON

The exact conjunction of Sun and Moon is good except when sub­jected to malefic aspect, it tends to weaken the heahh, especially in female nativity.

Moon forms good conjunction with Mercury, Venus and Jupiter, the adverse conjunction is with Mars. Saturn and Uranus and doubful with Sun, Neptune or Pluto.

MARS

The conjunction of any planet with Mars is not considered good. But conjunctions of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto is con­sidered adverse.

29

MERCURY

The conjunction of Mercury with Venus, SUD and Jupiter is con­sidered good, whereas with Mars, Saturn and Uranus it is adverse, doubtful with Neptune and Pluto.

JUPITER

The conjunction between Jupiter and Neptune is considered good. But conjunction of Saturn, Pluto and Uranus is adverse.

VENUS

The conjunction o(Sun, Jupiter, Neptune with Venus is considered good, but with Mars, Saturn and Uranus is adverse and with pluto as doubtful.

SATURN

The conjunction of any planet witlt Saturn is not considered gexxi but thai of Uranus, Neptune and Piuto is considered adverse.

URANUS

The conjunction of any planet with Uranus is not considered good. But of Neptune and Pluto is adverse.

NEPTUNE-PLUTO

The conjunction of Neptune and Pluto with Venus, Jupiter and Uranus is considered good. But it is considered adverse with Saturn and Uranus. The doubtful conjunctions are with Moon, Mercury, Venus, Sun,Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus.

RAHU-KETU

Rahu vat Sani, Kuj vat Ketu. Rahu gives the effects of Saturn and Ketu that of Mars. So their conjunctions be considered like wise as detailed above.

CONJUNCTIONS

Prithryasas son of Varahamihira in Hora Sara has laid down that conjunction of two or more Planets does harm to the Shave occupied. It also produces the effect of the conjunction just as the mixture of honey and ghee if combine in equal quatities, turn out as poison. So they should be analysed intelligently.

30

The interpretations listed below a re only intended 10 be general in­dications., for much depends upon Ihe sign and house where the con· junction takes places as to its action upon the character o r destiny_ In the following, the meaning of the conjunction has not been given so fully nor SO explicitly as one CQuid wish, but where so many have to be dealt with it is obvious that great detail would be oul of place. and that hints only have been given. .

TI-lESUN

In these details we hawe blended at places the results with ASTRO PALMISTRY which is found rarely in other works. Such details have been provided where found quite neccessary.

1. Sun MOOD. This is a pivotal conjunction. when happens ina horo­scope. it should be analysed fully with care and detail as it is the key to the reading ortbe whole horoscope. The conjunction or parrallcl with Jupitcr is good, but with Mars, Herschal and Saturn is adverse and with Neptune of Pluto is doubtful.

SUN MOON OPPOSITION OR TRINE OR SEXTILE,·

Very favourable position. Brings success, position clarity, attaint­ment of desires and wishes is assused it also makes one since and af­fectionate. It occours on Poomima's day.

SUN, MOON ASPECT: Brings obSlruct ions and delays

When Sun and Moon arc in conjunction, the individual and personal sides oCthe native forms a harmonious blend and the result is decided­ly good. 11 is also good ifboth are in signs guverned by the same planets, or if the lord of the sign containing onc is exalted in thai containing the other e.g. in Aries o r in Cancer. The g:>;nc ral strength of charac­ter ls incrca.-.ed, the re is some amount of self reliance personal inde­pendence and stability. It promotes usefulness in the home and world, increases the activity and thc will. It is good for all social, benevolent, and utilitrarian movements, broadens the sympathies, gives humanitarian impulses and conduces to popularity and general suc­cess. There is liJcelihood of off spring and of good fortune through them in respect ofhcalth, disposition and circumst ances. It is good fo r parents and children and favour love, friendship and marriage. Gain of money through variety of sources, through parents, chi ldren and chieny through occupation denoted by t he ruler of the sign where con­junction ls and hils will be very important and fortunate in the charac­ter and fo rtunes, unless badly aspeclcd.

31

Such a conjunction denotes that one is fond of opposite sex, subor­dination to woman, of rash temprament, unprincipled, hypocritical, rich and gain from the business of stone or skilled work, successful in hopes and schemses.

CONJUNCTION OF FIVE PLANETS

Accordidg to some old Hindu mythology the conjunction of five planets is termed the best when does not include Mercury but it should include Rahu or Ketu.

The conjunction of FIVE planets is called PANCHA VAT.

When male planet, female planet and a malefic planet except Mer­cury form such conjunction, the native will be wealthy, blessed with power and authority, children, grand children, comforts of domestic life and long life, may the native be devoid of intel1igentia.

The conjunction of Jupiter, Sun, Venus, Mercury, Saturn, when posit ed in houses. 1st to 6th will yield benefic results. In 7th to 12th houses, the results will no doubt be benefic but one will be self made wealthy man. He will lead a comfortable life and act cautiously.

The effects of conjunction will be generally good. In such a case if a native has vice deeds and acts, then even he will be lucky than others.

In a queer reading, it is stated that if in such conjuction or Panachayat a malefic planet like Rahu, Ketu or Saturn is not included and native has no habit of vice deeds, the conjunction will be useless. In other words either there should be a malefic planet in the conjunc­tion or the native should be mischievous or do vice deeds then only bcnfic results can be experienced. Otherwise one will suffer losses in the life. In case the native is truthful and free from vice habits then one should freely distribute the articles of malefic planets in the people to realise the beneficial result.

As an example the articles of Rahu are barley, coconut and articles made of wheat.

Ketu's articles are banana and articles of soure taste.Saturn's ar­ticles are almond, wine, cigarete or other narcotic drugs.

When however two planets are in parallel and in some definite aspect al the same lime it is always best to analyse the combination in terms of the aspect whether good or bad. If there is-tl() aspect, the paralic) may be trealed as a conjunction, but it will no( be so strong, and will act rather as an inclining than a deter­mining influence. Strictly speaking the conjunction and Parallel are not aspects but positions.

The feelings and sensatiODS which registers in our minds as pleaseDt, pleasure and good feelings are knoWn by the general terms of good or favourable. On the other band, the vibrations of planetary angles which give our sensary nerves an attitude of displeasure are ca1led ad­verse or unfavourable. The conjunctions which give the above effects are termed likewise. The same principles apply to aspects. which are Damed according to their difference in strength of influence.

Also in conjuction of two or more planets which produce effects we have to check the resultant effect like the resultant of the meeting of two forces, the resultant varies according to the angle and strength of each force. So the combined and resultant effects of conjuction has to be ana1ysed giving pleasure or displeasure and hence are termed favourable and unfavourable respectively.

We clarify the above point through an example. Take the, conjunc­tion of Mars and Venus. This conjunction denotes. "The native will be rash. under influence of opposite sex, a good mathematician, obstinate, sexy and Passionate ..... • If we take Mars as the senses. heat and boldness and Venus as the soul and passions. when they are in conjunction and Venus is stronger by sign as in the earby or Airy triplicity, the soul wiU contro l and refine the senses and will gain in feeling:> and emotioR.Oi, and termed as favoura.ble but if they are in fiery or watery sign there will be more danger of the senses and passions enslaving the soul and is termed as unfavourable.

OTHER CONJUNCTIONS

1. Rahu and Ketu occupying kcndras or Trikonas and combining with other planets produce Yogas for success.

When Rahu and Ketu occupy kendras or trikona with other planets they give sucess. If Rahu and Ketu occupy kendras and in union witb lords of (rikona they become good. If Rahu and Ketu occupy lrines and they arc in combination with the lords of quadrants they produce good. As regards with other planets it is further clarified that if con~ jo ining planets a re owners of unfavourable houses or signs, they will not be productive of much good.

2. The conjunction of Kendra and Trikona lords produce good. but when the la rds or other Irikonas join (he lords ofkendras they will sure­ly produce beller results.

3. When the lords or 9th and 10th houses are joined by the lords or Slh and 11th houses, success is endangered.

4. The lords of 2nd and 12th houses give good or bad results ac­cording as they a re in conjunction With the lords of other houses and the nature orlhe houses, they occupy.

The lords of 2nd and 12th houses have very pcculiarways of innuenc­ing the native. They are nOI powerful by virtue of their own merits by owning certain houses, but are considerably innuenced (0 give good or evil results by Ihe association they have and the position they occupy.

5. Lord orSlh house produces evil. because, he owns the 12th house from 9th house, a house of fortune and wealth. If he happens to be the lord of ascendant or combines with a benefic he becomes good (For Aries and Scorpio ascendants)

Evil planets viz, lo rds of 3rd, 6th, 8th 11th and 12th houses, when in conjunction with powerful Rajyoga planets, a lso produce favourable results in the ir sub-periods according to their own sources of strength at tbe lime. Conjunction has much influence and comdifiesgreatly the natufe of the planet, thus united

9. Saturn inclined to do evils by his conjunction with lords of death houses o r those who have any power to ionict death, will cause death in preference to any of those planets.

10. Good planets in conjunction with the lords of the death inflict­ing houses, give success. Bcncfics not in conjunction with the above give moderate success in their sub periods. Independent yoga karka planets do not give success in their Bhuktics when they arc nOl in con­junction with the Maraka planets.

11. When friendly and unfriendly planc ts combine together they produce mixed and ordinary results. If the planets occu pyquadrants, trine or places of exaltation in conjunction with friendly planets, they proudce bette r results.

12. Planets which occupy friendly houses, which are in conjunction with friendly planets and which arc powerful when aspecled by jupiter, makes a man attain to a position which may be equal 10 that of a king.

CHAPTER-IV

ASPECTS AND TRANSIT OF PlANETS

After studying the various conjunctions of Planets, it is quite impor­lanllo understand aspects and their results without which the resuhs of various Conjunctions cannot be modified.

ASPECf

ASpect can be defined as the angular distance between planets and cusps or between planets themselves. The aspect can be good or bad according to nature of planets and Vibrations as they harmonize or conflict with our ideas of good or bad. Actually there is no malefi c asp:ds. AU things work together for good bUI our response to planetary Vibrations is adverse due to our limited understanding. Whenever two planets occupy certain position relative to each other, they present an appearance known as ASPECT or CONFIGURA· TION.

According to Hindu Astrology, all aspects are impersonal and are found from sign to sign instead of degrees as in Western Astrology. A house is of 30 degrees and has equal house system.

All planets have full aspect on 7th house as counted from the house, where the planet is posited. In addition Saturn aspects 3rd and 10th houses, Mars aspects 4th and 8th houses,where each Jupiter, Rahu and Kct u aspect 5th and the 9th houses.

The opposition on 7th aspect becomes ext remly good wh en produced by Jupiter and Moon in Hindu astrology, whereas in western system opposition is termed evil always. A planet aspecting its own house will increase the signification of that house.

Mars aspects also 4th and 8th houses. 8t h house aspect sometimes is b ;neficial or evil depends on the quality of sign and strength of planet. For instance for LEO Ascendant Mars is Yogkarka and SO gets a special qualifications to produce good aspect by the 4th house aspect a fri endly planet, the significations of the aspc.cted planet and the houses are greatly enhanced. The same principle applies even in the case or 8th aspect .

Saturn has special aspects of 3rd and 10t h houscs. As a natural malefi cs, his aspe·cts arc bad, evil or malefics. Bul the author disagrees with us. Saturn will produce good aspects, when it acquires beneficial strength by sit uation viz yogkarka. exalted etc.

94

Similarly Jupiter being a natural benefic bas aspects as benefic and produce good resu1ts as per Hindu astrology. Again author disagreegs., the effects are based on the strength and ownership of the Jupiter. A malefic Jupiter does morc harm than Good.

According to Hindu astrology there are six main aspects which include:-

1. Conjunction

2. Parallel

3. Sextile

4. Trine

5. Square

6. Opposition

In addition applying and seperating aspects are to be checked.

The readers may object that seldile and Trine aspects are not in­cluded in Hindu Astrology but author disagrees with you because all these aspects have been borrowed by Westerns from Hindu Astrology. Since these have been adopted very widely by Western than Hindus, they are considered to be Western which is quite incorrect.

To sum up these major aspects we provide that in Hindu Astrology:-1. Conjunction is a 1st bouse aspect.

2. Sextile is 3rd and 11th house a:;pccls.

3. Trine is 5th and 9th house aspect.

4. Square is 4th and 10th house aspect.

5. Opposition is 7th house aspect.

Likewise applying and seperating terms used in Western Astrology are actually aspects of Hindu astrology as mentioned in our ancient treatises like Phaldeepika, Sanketa Niddi, Jatak Tatva, Uthrakalam­rita etc these aspects are termed IlTHASALA AND MASARIPHA respectively vide Ram Dayalu's sanketa Niddi san VIII sloka 2 and 3.

So all the aspects are originally from Hindu astrology and as such have been used in this book.

Prashara has stated 10th aspect as ~Kendra Aspect" of a planet, which is of vital importance. He states, "A planet situated 10th from any house, sign or planet influences in good or bad ways to houses etc. depending on the nature of the aspecting planet". For example Sun

95

posited in 2nd house and Jupiter in 5th hOllse. As perstandard dictum Sun has no aspect on Jupiter but as Kendra innuence and aspect, the aspect of Sun has great value and effects as it is situated 10th from Jupiter.

Any planet in 10th house aspects the Ascendant. In Western astrol­ogy this aspect is called Square aspect and is held evil, but in Hindu astrology the effects of a planet is considered as apd if the planet is benefic or malefic.

TERMS EXPLAINED

We now expla~ the main 6 aspects as mentioned above in detail.

CONJUCfrON,-

When two heavenly bodies are together at the same point of zodiac are called in conjuction of planets are rather peculiar in their power to do good or bad is gauged according to their ownership of houses and their natural relations and qualities.

Conjunction of Lords of Kendras (1,4,7,10) houses and trine house (5,9) when unassociated with lords of other houses arc not only power­ful in producing good effects of the signification of houses located and owned by them, but brings honour, wealth and general prosperity even if located in evil houses of birth chart. But these very lords if vcry powerful and strong by position and sign and are in their signs of ex­altation. Regardless of other sources of evils, such as their union with lords of other evil houses, becomes not only powcrful to do good but help other planets associatcd with them towards the same object.

Example:

In the enclosed chart on page % yogkarka planet Saturn (lord of 4th and 5th) conjoins 10th house lord Moon in 11th house viz lord of kcndra and trine and is unassocisated has confered on the native, honour, wealth and general prosperity. Saturn 4th house lord repre­sent property the native has many houses. So results of conjunction are confirmed.

Conjunctions of lords of trine houses arc always good. Whatever be their location: but if the lords of these houses are associated with lords of 8th or 11th houses success is endangered. Planets in conjunction with maraka planets or death inflicting house ie 2nd and 7th house lords become powerful enough to cause death in thcir periods and sub­periods according to their relative strength in the nativity. The mutual reception of planets in their own house is production of good re~ults. Rut if natural rc('cplion cxits between the lords ofkcndras and trines,

96

the period of such planets will be most beneficial particul arly if it is lIe­tween the lords of 9th and 10th houses.

SUN V£NU~ MER. MARS RaN

J'uP SAT MD~N

Asc K£.."'U

Rahu and Ketu have no houses to own. Their conjunction with other planets if occurs in kcndra and trine houses, the effects are always good, in other houses good or bad resulls will be experienced according to the st rength of planet in the nativi ty with which they are associated.

When any planet is posited in the same degrees and minutes or lon­gitude as the one occupied by sun, then it is said to be in "RAPT CON­JUNCTION". It is considered to be eclipsed and utterly powerless.

2. PARALLEL:- planets having same or equal declination either in North or Soulh are parallel. Orb should be taken into consideration Orb for Ihis is 6 degrees. The effect of this position is similar to that of close conjunction but even more powerful.

3.SEXTILE:-A benefic aspect of GO degrees of nature. The innuen­ces of planets in this aspect are mutually blended. The effects are con­sidered on the planets and the signs between which it occu rs.

It is 3rd and 1Uh bouse aspect: It indicates relationship with groups, integration of the self with immediate surroundings. It.can be regarded as opposition of trine series. Indicate slate of balance, degree of initia­tive, one cannot remain passive toscxtile. Opportunity and act ivity are well associated with sextile. An easy aspect which reinforces your weak point. This influence docs nOl impel you to action. Trine of review and act as per changed time. There is more activity and change shown by sextile than the time.

The lime may be linked to the reward of the past, while the sextilc contains the potentially of the future.

97

4. TRINE:-Jt is 5th and 9th house aspect of 120 degrees. It blends the influence of the planets in aspect harmoniously. It is a period of easy enregy flow and relative lack of stress, when you can make crea­tive changes. A period ofliule change, even when there is considerable activity, little resistance to your efforts, with matters often working out with little efforts on your part.

If the trine aspect is formed between Saturn and Mars it harmoniscs the bodies or vehicles represented by the sign occupied by the planets.

Through watery signs, it influences the astral or emotional body. Through fiery signs the mental body. In this respect it is fortunate aspect, indicating peaccful, forgiving and charitable nature and en­vironments. When occuring between Illminarics, it is more fortunate than any favourable aspect.

5. SQUARE:-A strong malefic aspect of90 degrees or 4th and 10th house aspect of the nature of Saturn. This aspect is most critical and conflicting of aspects. It never fails 10 give disturbing prejudice or ad­verse conditions and circumstances. A seperative aspect. It is known as angle of pain aad sorrows, bringing remorse and a perturbed state of mind and feeling with worry, anxiety and despondency.

Illness productd hI the square aspect arc slow to cure. Every con­dition or event arising Cout of this aspect is critical and turns the tide of fortune one way or thc o ther definitely wilh more or less permanent results.

It indicates challenges from circumstances or others that force you to prove yourself or to make necessary changes, a time when course of action proves incorrect :·r if the challenge is withstood, a timc of new intiative and active forv;:ltd motion or may inaugurate a period of new effectiveness.

6.0PPOSITION,·IT IS 7rH HOUSE OR 180 DEGREES ASPECf. A aspect of perfect hatred or balance. The results depends on the planets, their strengt1-- ownership etc.

Jupiter's opposition is benefic always and is an exception.

Esoterically the opposition J~notes the ending or finishing of fate or karma.

on the other hand a number of things can occur during this transit. If the process has gone weli . thi,s is the time when your affairs reach a culmination and you begin to reap the rewards of your efforts. It reforms a native into a nl'W level. You will get reward for what you

98

have done. The [ulurc beckons, and a new stage of development is about to begin.

ORB

The term ORB usually means an area in which events commensing a transit occurs. Technically the term means a distance in longitude within which the innucnce of planet or aspect will operate.

The limits of ORB for conjunction or opposition allow 12 degrees. When Sun aspects Moon about 10 degrees. when either luminary aspects a planet and for planets aspccling each other ORB is 8 degrees.

In Hindu old trealises and textbooks, the Orb allowed to the various planets specifically as arc indicated below:- .

HINDU VERSUS WESTERN ASTROLOGY

The difference between Hindu and Western astrology on the point of aspect is as below:-

1. In Western Astrology conjunction is an aspect whereas in Hindu astrology conjunction generales effects due to being together but it is not treated as an aspect.

2. In Western system, the computation of aspect is made from de­gree to degree, whereas in Hindu system, count is made from sign to sign.

3. In Western system the aspect will be mutually the same, bul in Hindu Astrology the degree of aspect vary.

4. In Western astrology certain type of aspects such as sextile and trine are benefic and square and opposition are evil, but in Hindu sys­tem there is no such classification.

In Hindu system

(i) Aspect of benefic planets is always good and that of malefic is bad.

(ii) Whether malefic or benefic planet, if he aspects its own house, he strengthens it and does not harm.

(iii) Aspect of lords of good houses such as 5th,9th and Kendras a re good whereas that of lord of evil houses,6,8,12 are evil

SUMMARY OF PLANETS IN TRANSIT

The general effect produced by one body in !rasit over another is in principle the same as conjunction of the two by direction.

The slower a planet is in motion the more effects does its transit produce. A Planet stationery within two degrees of some sensitive point in the horoscope is always important and this rule holds good all through. Slower planets are much more marked in the results they bring about than are those that move quickly, and their influence ex­tends over a much longer period. Because of this, the planets can be divided for the purpose or transit into two groups: Saturn, Ketu, Rahu and Jupiter whereas other planets arc quick. Mars however is capable of producing distinct effects by transit at critic~l limes when directions agree.

The slow moving planets often mark unfortunate periods than definite dates. The influence of a slow Planet is of courfie strongest on the day when its transit is exact or within Orb. Transit should always be noted to the day: fm d list of such dates serves to mark the good and bad days through thc ycar. The transit of Mars in particular often act very promptly. The transit of the quick moving planets mark days rather than periods, for their influence seldom cxtcrj,ds over more than

III

two days. Mercury and Venus indicate events of slight interest. The Moon, although the quickest in motion of all, is of more all round im­portance.

TRANSITS OF MOON

Transits of Moon are of considerable use in deciding fortunate and unfortunate days. When Moon is Passing through any house in the horoscope, it gives some degree of prominence and importance to af­fairs governed by the house, and the result will be fortunate or reverse according to the condition of that house in the radical horoscope. Thus if second house was badly afflicted at Birth, the Moon's transit through it once a month will always tend to be more or less unfortunate. If the ephemeri shows that Moon receives bad aspects that day. Such as op­position of Saturn, the tendcney to misfortune will be increased: and if it received some good aspect such as trine of Jupiter not much benefit can be expected from it because of the radical affliction. If on the other hand, a house is fortunate at birlh, the Moon's transit through it will mark a day that is fortunate for affairs governed by that house: and this will be increased if the ephmcri shows that the Moon is well aspeeted and not mueh lessoned by amictions. When the Moon tran­sits the place of benefic, in the horoscope, Jupiter, Venus or a well aspcetcd Sun, Moon or Mereury it will indicate a fortunate day. When it passes over the conjunction or opposition of a malcfic or a serious­ly afflicted Sun, Moon or Mercury, a day will be indicated as unfor­tunate, when it will be wise to be careful. In each case, iftheephemeri shows thal Moon is well aspectcd on that day, the good will be in­creased and cvillesscnd: and vice versa if the ephemris show that it is badly aspected: but the radical birth chart indications are the most im­portant.

120

Generally speaking tbe transit of the Moon through a house or over lIle place of a planet lends 10 call forth the natural meaning of that bou.sc or planet and aspects al birth. Its transits over Jupiter's place or Venus will bring enjoyable days, pleasure, social intercourse, or gain: over Mercury, good days for writing, reading, studying and begin­ning new undertakings governed by that planet. If the Moon was, say, in trine to Jupiter at Birth its transit ovcr either of those two places will indicate a fortunate days.

The transit of Moon through the Ascendant is fortunate in most cases.,especially for going a journey or making changes. except when a malefic or seriously afnicted planet was rising or setting at birth. In this way fortunate and unfortunate days can be marked out according to tbe Moon's transits through the birth chart and although the Moon is not the only factor that has to be taken into account in this way, yet its influence is very important. Journeys be undertaken if the Moon transilS 1st, 3rd or 9th house or even its own place if well aspccted. Business should be begun when Moon is most fortunate. a re when it transilS Jupiter or Venus.

The most potent and noticeable transits are the following:-

When the Moon by direction is forming a square or opposition to Saturn, a transit of Saturn over the place of the progressed Moon will bring out all the evil of the lunar directions. In the same way a bencfic aspect of the Moon 10 Jupiter will be doubly benefic when Jupiter by transit is passing over the Moon's progressed place.

One of the most certain and direct transit is that of Saturn hunting the Moon's as it is termed that is, when Sat urn is in transit over the Moon's progressed place. Since th·c progressed Moon takes twenty eight and Saturn thrity years to complete the circle, this will often last for many years and in some cases for a lifetime. The most unfortunale aspect in a nativity is the amiction of the Moon by Saturn, either by square or opposition and when the aspect is very close and the progres­sive Moon is moving slowly, or at the same rate as Saturn the transits of Saturn goes or. for the best part of the lifc. For the Moon progres­sive motion moves lhrough one sign of the Zodice in two and a half years and Saturn's motion by transit is at the same rale, the refore un­less the Moon is movingfasl and moving out of the sphere of influence of Saturn. a double affliction is kept up far the best part of life. This of course can only be the case where the Moon is in conjunction, square or opposition with Saturn at birth.

Mercury alone in 12th causes petty worries. annoyances and small encmities caused· by writing or standalour reports, the mind becomes self absorbed and narrow. J(

CHAPTER VI

PROPITIATIONS OF PLANETS

In tbe previous chapter under the various conjunctions of planets we have suggested some ways of propitiations, the term means to ap­pease or conciliate and in Hindi is used as UP AYE for the planets which arc weak, malefic and by virtue of their position create troubles for the native. These upayes have been suggested to ward off or min­imise the evil effects of such afflicted planets.

The readers after going through the previous chapter must be curious to know the details, methods and other conditions of upayes, which the author bas explained in much detail in his world famours book titled,"C01-WLETE ASTRO PALMISTRY" which may be referred. However, for tbe guidance of readers, we provide below some synopsis of the same.

POSITION OF PLANETS

The planets which arc found weak, malefic or unfavourable by vir­tue of their position, create troubles for the native and it becomes quite imperative to perform the requisite upaye to mitigate the evil effects of such positions of the planets which can be summed up as:

1. Sun or Ketu in 5th, 7th, 8.th houses causes too many troubles.

2. Mars and Rahu in 2nd, 8th or 9th houses cause many troubles and strifes.

3. Moon posited in 6th or 8th house becomes dangerously evil when week and afflicted.

4. Mercury in 6th, 8th or 12th house becomes weak.

5. Jupiter and Saturn when positcd in thir debilitated signs make the native full of miseries.

6. Venus posited in 3rd, 6th, 8th or 12th house becomes too weak and make the native too feeble.

7. Benefies in 3rd and 6th hOllses give tremendous troubles.

There can be many other positions of planets where they can create troubles and mischieves and need clear judgment.

151

PROPITIATIONS

In order to get relief from such adverse positions and to avoid miseries, turmoi ls and troubles, the propitiations have to be made to ob tain protection from th e evil resuls. Such planets can be 51 rengthened to w3I:d off the evil results.

There are many ways to mitigate such evil effects and are known as methods of PROPITIATIONS OF PLANETS.

By using appropriate measures. This can be sub divided into four parts:

(i) Through articles of the planets.

(ii) Through TANTRIC met hods.

(iii) By usi ng Ge ms and Colours.

(iv) Through Prayer and meditations.

(v) Yoga

The above met hods have been detailed in Author's famous book, "S ATURN A FR IEND OR FOE?" Chapter 17 and 'PRACTICALS OF YANTRA' AND 'PRACfICALS OF MANTRA AND TANTRA' wh ich be referred '

In addition we should think calmly the methods to ward off the e\~ 1 etfects of malefi c planets. The upaye of male fi c planets will be chief­ly through the articles, commoditids and other items assigned to each planet. This is a fundamental of upaye. As fa r example, to ward off (he evil effects of Rahu, upayes of Ketu will be useful and for Ketu upayes ofRahu will be good,

Again we cite another example. for malefi c Vcnus, one should serve the cowordonal C cow, and feed the c{)wwith seven type of mixed grain or give parI of your food to cow. A ball of kneaded flour be given 10 COw etc. For Saturn when malefi c and 10 get financial relief, food must be spared for crows and to get children, food 10 black dog is recom· mended.

METHODS AND PERIOD OF UPA YES

1. In Hindu Shaslras, upayeshould be carried out for minimum 40 days and maximum 43 days continously. If for some speci fi c reasons bcyond the cont rol of native, the upaye has 10 be discontinued then onc should wash rice in Ihe milk and keep them with him, after that upayc can be restarted to kee p the continuity.

152

2. The upayes be perofrmed between Sun rise and Sun set. There is no restriction of day for starting the upaye except stated. This can be started from Monday to Sunday.

3. Upaye can also be performed by the nearest blood relation. But / the author is not in this favour. This should be done by the native him­self.

4. If a planet is malefic and the native is unmarried, the upaye be performed at the time of marriage of the native, which will be very fruitfuL

In the previous chapter we have detailed articles, relations and professions of each planet and house which should be memorised for day to day usc.

So for we have provided a few bul effective methods of propitiations of malcf'ic planets through articles., donation and mantras. In case of further details the author may be consulted.

TANTRIC UPAYES

Current definitions of Tantra ss "Sacred Writings of Hindus ·Scrip­~urcs orSakta"; Collection of Magical Treatises· and tbe like, are either inaccurate stalement characterised by the usual vagueness and in­decision says. that; "The Tantras are a letter development of the Puranic creed and written very much on the same lines as the Puranas."

But actually the work TANTRA has various meanings and amongst 01 hers Sastras generally, and therefore does not necessarilly denote a religious Sastra. In the sense, however, in whieh the term is most wide­ly known, it denotes that body of the religious scripture. Sastra whieh is stated to have been revealed by Lord srv A as the specific scripture of the fourth or present Kali age. This is the deflnition of Tantra ac­cording to Sastra itself.

Lord SHIVA,lhe supreme promulgates, His teachings in the world below in the works known as Yamala, Damara, Siva Stutra and in tbe Tanlras which exists in the form of dialogues between the Devala and his SAKTI, the Devi in Her form as Parvati. According to the Gayalri Tanlra, the Deva Ganesa first preached the Tantra to tbe Devayoni on Mount Kailasa, after he had himself received tbem from the mouth of LordSH IVA

158

Out of the above discussion one should understand tbat as per com­mOn beliefTantra is not a magic but a Sadhana and in this Sadhna the methods have been provided to ward off the word!y evils and troubles. A few such tested methods. the readers aTe requested to perform with full respect and reverence to gain the results. Nefarious (anlric methods be always discarded. For more details, refer author's world famous books. "Practicals of yantras' "Practicals of Mantra and Tanlra"

USE OF GAYATRI MANTARA INTANTRIC

Gyatri manlara bas been held in high esteem in Hindu religion. This mantara can be used in a tanlric way to slove one's problems, dirricul­tics etc. by performing HAVANA of Gyatri mant ara with the follow­ing directions. The manlara reads. thus:

II) t'f.,,: R: I !R~. ~ >t'if ~

~~ ~) !i\ "T: ."' ... iiI II

In this mantara after the words following words for the specific pur­pose shown against eacha:)~: R:I and then recite the whole man­tara. These specific words are called ~Samput". The samput has a great value in tantTic and be used carefully.

This samput is useful for wealth and com­forts.

This samput is used for obtaining proficiency in word~

Through the use of this sam put. one is blessed wilh progncy and one enjoys sexuaJ bliss.

By the use of this sampul. enemies are destroyed, troubles and worries vanishes and the nalive is blessed with joy and hap­piness.

Through the candid use of this samput one recovers from disease.

One's hopes are fulfilled anu the native is protected from evils.

159

HOW TO PERFORM H4.VANA (HOMA)

The Havana be performed by using the following articles and recit­ing Gayatri manlara with samput.

1. Use the flowers of red Kamal or Juhi in the Havana for wealth and gold.

2. Prepare small balls of Gugal and perform Havana with ghee, onc will become very lucky.

3. The pieces of Gila be dipped in milk and Havana be performed with them, this blesses the native with cure from diseases.

4. To obtain a cure from fever one should perform Havana with leaves of mango tree dipped in milk.

5. Barley, til and ghee be used in Havana, the native is blessed with wealth.

There aTC various methods ofTanlara to ward off evils, but the su­pcrcme is of Gayatri Manlara. The other method will be placed before the readers at some appropriate time.

GEMS AND COWURS

Another method to propitiate the planets is through Germs and Colours. Since mankind is powerless against vibrations sent by planets, it has been trying to explore th~ possibilities of averting these calamities by shantis or propitiatory rites. Hundreds or such propitiatory prescription can be found in the Sastras. Wearing of jewels sacred to the different Planets is one of these propitiatory rites.

HOW GEMS ARE EFFECTIVE

Human body is led with "Cosmic Radiation" these radiations be­comes unbalanced in the body. In order to bring a balance in cosmic Radiations, Astral Gems are used. The entire process may be regarded as the effects of the Cosmic Radiations depicted by the planetary position, The position of a house in the horoscope indicates the strength or weakness of a planet through efficiency or dcfficieng or cosmic rays indicates potency or the deficiency in the individual.

For such a close study of such planetary positions, we select stones or called Gems for increase of the deficiency or for removal of the deficiency. These remedial stones, the Astral Gems as will call them act in two ways. One is by its spectrum effects and other is by radioac­tive effects. '

160

Dr. OsCar Brunler of America has measured the rediations of Gems and planets and be says that these Gem are Nature's store bouse of energy and they give rise to constructive vibrations against the disease vibrations which are destructive in character. Malefic powers released by the planets are always Negati .... e, whereas the powers of jewels are always positive when positive meets negative they are both neutralised. He further says that as medicines 'have power to remove disease by their commulative vibrations even so the jewels can counteract the ef­fects of malefic Planets. When a ring is worn jewel goes on continuous­ly viberating its power which is absorbed in the individual aura. The protective aura thus becomes powerful to resist any untoward vibra­tions comings from external sources. But care should be taken in selec­tion of jewel otherwise reverse results can be expected. (From Astrological Magazine May 1976 issue).

WAVE LENGTHS OF JEWELS AND PLANETS

9. Ketu 35000 Cat's Eye 70000

In author's famous book, "SATURN, A FRIEND OR FOE? "Chap­ter 17, it is stressed that two stones are required simultaneously. One ruling planet stone a permanent one, and the other for the malefic planet to ward off the evils.

The second point stressed is that when a planet is malefic in a horo­scope and use the same stone of that planet is prescribed then in author's views the hands of that planet have been strengthened by giving him and added power to do more evils. What is required to use

161

ANTI·DOSE TREASEMENT to the planet in order to subsiside or minimise the evil results. This has given me success at all the times.

We provide below the names of the malefic planets and the jewels 10 be worn for the purposes of propitiations.

Planet Gem Hindi Name Nature

Sun Ruby Manak Hot

Moon Pearl Mati Cold

Mars Coral Moonga Hot

Mercury Emerald Panna Cold

Jupiter Topaz Pukhraj Cold

Venus Diamond Hira Hot

Saturn Blue Sap- Neelam Cold phire

Rahu Gamed Gamed Cold

Ketu Cat's eye Lahasanya Hot

TRAITS OF GEMS

Gems in addition to warding off the evil effects of planets can be used for other useful purposes.

The Gems can be used to increase the Psychic powers of a nalive. For example: Emerald, increases brain powers, fickle mindcdness, stammering, loss of memory elc. In such case when Emerald is worn will ronlinue to vibrate incessantly the benefic powers of Mercury. Other Gcms can be used likewise.

The planets control the seven system of human body. There are seven Dhatus in the body namely and respectively Chyle, Blood, Flesh, Fat, Bone, Marrow, and Semen and the seven planets have lordship over seven Dhatus respectively are Saturn, Moon, Mercury, Jupiter, Sun, Mars and Venus. Accordingly Gems have curative effects on dis­eases when the planets cause the diseases.

The traits of Gems are only summ.arised for the guidance of readers. Selection and Use of Gems are only summarised for the guidance of readers. Selection and Use of Gems be made very carefully to

162

propitiate the planets, and be worn on the corred day and in correct finger of right hand and in correct metal.

The Jewels or Gems should under no circumstances be removed from the body. II takes months before the action of the jewel becomes manifest in the organism, but the momcnt the jewel is removed, the benefic effcts is instantly lost.

1. RUBY:· The stone is hot and can be used fo r the deve lopment of soul fo rce, be used in summer months, it cures peptic ulcer, feve r, rheumatism, Gout etc. h's constant use may cause boils, itch and in­somnia.

The author is in full agreement with Dr. Bhattacharya that above kinds of applications of jewels for increasing psychic powers should not

164

be resorted to by sinful person who indulge in bad actions, bad thoughts and bad habits and are swayed by greed, hatered and injury. The planets, obviously are not in a mood_ to help sinful persons in bad work. Such persons when they invoke the powers of jewels to better their condition, invariably meet with disaster. For them it is dangerous to wear jewels of any kind, and the chances are that they will not onry­receive any benefic results, but also precipitate their fall. Careful selec­tion of gems is again suggested. When the Planet is in fall, debilitated position etc. or is unfavourable, then the selection is most difficult. In sllch cases tbe readers are advised to refer the Chart of ~Detai ls of Gems" in author's world famous book, "SATURN, A FRIEND OR FOE? in which all such details have been provided.

PRAYER AND MEDITATION

There are two ways of removing or overpowering the evil innucncc of the malefic planelS, namely:-

1. External

2. Internal.

The external method is to use the mantaras, Gems, Tantric etc. as explained earlier. The inte rnal method is to regulate inner energy.

For the regulat ion orinner energy, mantras for each planet are avail­able in Vedas, one has to meditate with soul and mind, spiritually and in psychic ways, saints, sages and men of highest spiritual and moral qualities have attained the stage by concentrated meditation, the goal to achive the object of warding off the evils. But using inner energy and external mantaras, one can control evil effects. IT IS NOT AN ORDINARY TASK. One should lry within the boundary of his religion and one will find remarkable results. Have self realisation and achive the goal. PC-dyer changes the things.
