Special Nakshatras/Taras
There are a few special nakshatras for each person:
The constellation occupied by natal Moon is called Janma nakshatra. Janma means “birth”
and this nakshatra shows general well-being.
The 10th constellation from janma nakshatra is called Karma nakshatra. Karma means
“profession” 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. Sanghaatika roughly means “belonging to group” and this nakshatra shows group/social activities.
The 4th constellation from janma nakshatra is called Jaati nakshatra. Jaati roughly means
“community” and this nakshatra shows one’s community. To be more correct, one’s jaati shows people who belong to the same class, nature and profession.
The 7th constellation from janma nakshatra is called Naidhana nakshatra. Naidhana means
“death” and this nakshatra shows death and suffering.
The 12th constellation from janma nakshatra is called Desa nakshatra. Desa means “country”
and this nakshatra shows one’s country.
The 13th constellation from janma nakshatra is called Abhisheka nakshatra. Abhisheka means
“coronation” and this nakshatra shows power and authority. This is also called Raajya nakshatra (kingdom).
The 19th constellation from janma nakshatra is called Aadhaana nakshatra. Aadhaana means
“epoch/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 one’s destruction.
The 25th constellation from janma nakshatra is called Maanasa nakshatra. Maanasa means
“mind” and this nakshatra shows one’s mental state.
Benefics or malefics situated in these constellations in their transit bring good or bad results related to the area covered by the nakshatra. However, it should be kept in mind that the results will be with respect to the native. For example, malefics transiting in desa nakshatra may not ruin one’s country.
After all, any country has almost the same number of people with desa nakshatra in each constellation.
When many malefics are transiting in desa nakshatra, one may be driven away from one’s country or start hating one’s country. Similarly, many malefics transiting in jaati nakshatra may alienate one from one’s community. Many benefics transiting in karma nakshatra may give success at workplace. This is how these special nakshatras should be used. Sometimes, using these nakshtras gives special insights that cannot be gained by looking at any divisional chart.
Sarvatobhadra Chakra
From 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 of auspicious and inauspicious results.
There are 9 x 9 = 81 squares in the chart. Middle 7 squares on the outer borders contains 7 nakshatras each. Abhijit (the last quarter of Uttarashadha) is included among the nakshatras. The innermost 5 squares contains weekdays and tithis (lunar days). The notation regarding tithis is:
(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 border squares. All the squares lying on diagonals of the chart, except the central square of the chart, contain vowels. 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 the contents of the squares along 3 lines. We can draw one vertical or horizontal line and two crossward lines starting at the 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, rasi Cn, vowel au, tithis Bhadra (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 all these.
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 causes vedha on all these.
Drawing a crossward line to the southwest from it, we see that the consonant d (alveolar), consonant m and 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 vowel
“a” 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 from the same planet.
(3) Some consonants are not covered in this chart. Planets in Ardra have vedha on g, chh and ng (nasal). Planets in Hasta have vedha on h, n (alveolar) and th (alveolar). Planets in Poorvashadha have vedha on dh (dental), ph and dh (alveolar). Planets in Uttara Bhadrapada have vedha on th (dental), jh and nch (nasal).
(4) If a planet has vedha on one of the following pairs of consonants, it has vedha on the other one too: b & v; s & sh (palatal); kh & sh (alveolar); j & y; ng & tr.
Using 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 native’s 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 and Ketu) is unfavorable. If several transiting benefics have simultaneous vedha on several natal points listed 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 of interest. Suppose we want to find the transit results related to career. Then we can take karma
nakshatra of natal chart [take the planets position in the D-10 chart and enter them in the
Sarvatobhadra chart. See the vedhas on them for that day in yiur career] and see the vedhas on it in transit chart.
Similarly, we can take the tithi corresponding to the matter of interest. For example, we can take
“karma tithi” (lunar day of profession) instead of janma tithi when finding transit results related to career.
Karma tithi is a little different from normal tithi. To find karma tithi, we multiply the difference between Moon’s longitude and Sun’s longitude with 10 and reduce the product to a value between 0º and 360º (by adding or subtracting multiples of 360º). We divide it by 12 and add 1 to the quotient.
That gives a number between 1 and 30 [the lunar day] and that represents “karma tithi”. Karma tithi changes 10 times as fast as normal tithi. Similarly “dhana tithi” (lunar day of wealth) changes twice as fast 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 on tithis (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 of auspicious career growth] and janma vaara all have the vedha of a couple of transiting benefics, then some good developments may take place in the native’s career. If they have the vedha of a couple of malefics (instead of benefics), then we can expect setbacks in the native’s career. In this manner, we study the impact of transits on important tithis, janma vaara, important nakshatras and important houses in natal chart. If just one natal reference has vedha from just one planet, we cannot make any predictions. But, if 2-3 natal reference have vedha from a couple of benefic/malefic transit planets, then we can be more confident. However, a prediction should be made only if dasas and Tajaka charts also show an event.
