Astrologr ls not determintstfc and it Ls given to man to change the course cf events to avert the nfsery' zgony anc dtsasterthreatened by evil inJluences of cenain inauspicious combi::ations or dispositions of planets by t aking appropriate remedial measures tn time. This approach is quite scientific and is ln accordance with the modern lir'.e of thinking. Man ls, no doubt, a creature of destiny but he is not entirely or absolutely its slave. Man has some freeoorn of will and action also. If man has no such freedom how can he overcome his karmaand attain salvation or how will his soul merge with unlversal soul. Thus it should be accepted that there is'no place for fatalism in astrologr. Fate and free will are two blades of a scissor and we still do not know which blade operates tn cutting a paper. It is man's supreme duty to do his mite lrrespective of results lilrc a Nishkama KarmaryogL It is true that errors of judgement creep in when we are destined. Miscalculations occur and our reasoning faculty becomes lnoperative and ineffective. The rnost important utility of astrologr irsto forewarn man to enable hirr t o forearm himself to face troubles and calamities and to take steps in accordance with remedial principles of astrolo$y to overcome or at least minimise the evil effects expected. To illustrate, if rain is inevitable and we cannot escape from it or avert it, either we don't go out or take steps to avoid getting wet by the use of a rain-coat or an umbrella. This is the precise scope and function of remedial measures in astrolory. . 'The law of karma is not stifling and one only gets what one sows, yet it provides options and allows room for the operation of free will. In other words it provides a system where action of a kind, though in the process of bearing results, can be manoeuvred into relatively less impactful effects. That is, a certain consequence, though bound to result out of a certain action, can be suitably alrtended to lose its sting. Not all causes attract the discount. Some do, some do not, yet others come partly under the relief. Remedial measures are a concomitant of this system". www.cteindia.weebly.com.

'As in larv where there are compoundable and noncompoundable offences, so also do we have planetary alllictions (arrshtas or dosl:rrs) that are amenable to shanft (palliatives) and those that are not.". C. en. tre. fo. rT. ra. di tio. na. lE. du. ca. tio. n. In this material world it is dilficult to saythat there is even one person who has no problems to worry him. A man maJt be loaded with millions or even billidns but if he has no issues, or has no properly a<lusted conjugal life, or is not enjoying good health, he cannot be really called a happy person. Ore the other hand, a man rvho has no money suffers from pangs of hunger and has no roof over his head is blessed with children but he cannot alford to feed and clothe them or get them educated. All these problems and maladies are the consequence of one's karmas in the preuious brth or curtent Life and 1f one Fns a birth cllart, tle problems he has to Jace are clearlg skectched out in it in the Jorm oJ planetarg affltcttons.

Yoga discipline and exercises are also included in this. These remedial measures generate forces in order to deflect the unhappy and evil influences which are likely to manifest as a result of malevolent configuration of the planets. A*ologr has now come to be recognised as a vast science diagnostic as well as remedial. According to astrolgoy all the sufferings of the mankind (individual or country as a whole) are due to planetary afflictions and as said earlier there are remedialmeasures to alleviate ormitigate the suffering if not completely neutralise it. As an illustration it may be mentioned that in February 1962, it was predicted by reputed astrologers that the configuration of eight planets in the sign Capricorn was likely to cause all kinds of disasters and calamities in the world and particularly in India. As a remedial measure group Yqjnas were performed all over the country and whether the predictions were correct or not nothing. www.cteindia.weebly.com.

It is believed that when'a Yqina ts paJumed the sasr[ftcia] oblatiorts and. tfie sound uaues prduced bg the rythmlc chanting oJVedic mantrrrs have a beneflcial effect on the psycho-physical environment. Recltatlon <.rfmantras prescribed for each planet in the proper manner and by observing the correct rituals are believed to act as a very effectlve protection from the evil effects of any planetary a{lliction. When we recite the mantra of a planet who is giving us trouble, we actually pray to him to bestow upon us hls mercy and save us from his evil rays.. C. en. tre. fo. rT. ra. di ti. on. al. Ed. uc. at. io. n. The rationale of the use of gern stones to avert the evil effects of planets is dependent on the colours and vibrations of the planets. Our ancientswhowere no less scientlfic-minded than the scientists of the present day, tookthe view that everything lre the Universe is sensitive to colour inlluence. The various Augas l.e. Krita, lteto" Duapar and Kalt, and the various gunas-Sathta. Rqias and Tamas, have got their own colours and the various planets have got their own colours. The lnfluence they exert on men depends on the different colours emanated or absorbed. Likewrse each planet rules over or is related to a gem. The colour of the planet is reflected on the human body through the gem and creates an effect by absorptlon and reflection of the rays and vibrations. The gem acts as a filter and produces good or evil, depending on the need of the body. If a planet emanating a ray the vibration of which ls unsuitable for the body, ls counteracted by the ray absorbed by the gem, there will be no evil result. Jatak ParlJat descrlbes the colours of the planets and the gems related to them as under :Colours qg{qrqsdFd-gfr FffiFagdrq:,. ilgFfq! Rroi'ir gar, Ii<ffiqt(: ts': ll. trft rflT+-frfl:,Raag:g+1sfrair:vrft:, qrftcr{fr -ilq R qE #g, ftftt-gfr: tl. This means that Sun has mlxed colour of black and red (dark red). Moon is young and of white colour. Mercury is of the colour of green Dwuo lgrass). Mixture of red and white is the colour of Mars. Jupiter has a body of fair complexion' Venus is white. Saturn has a black body. Rahu's body is of blue colour and that of Ketu is of a strange colour.. www.cteindia.weebly.com.

"As an astrologer can only study the tendencies likely to manifest under certain situations, it may be logical, as an extension of this approach to find out the additional forces that can be generated in order to deflect any unhappy lnfluence likely to mantfest as a result of the gtven planetary configuration" says Shri Bepin Behari in his article 'Some Reflections on Remedial Measures' ln the September 1983 lssue of the Astrologial Magazine.. fo. rT. ra. di tio. An attempt has been made fn this small book how the 'additional forces'can be generated by use of appropriate gem stones or Mantras or other means to avert the misery that may be caused by afflictions of planets or by malefic configuration of planets in a horoscope.. C. en. tre. Prasno Marga, an exhaustive work from Kerala (English translation by lo.te J.N. Bhasur, published by Raryian Publicatiors) gives description in detail about identifying the alilfcilng planet and of locattng the correct remedy. According to the author of PrasnaMargaall miseries and difficulties in life are caused by one's sins of commission or omission. Remedies are prescribed in the form of medicines, Japas (repetition of mantras) , Aqjnas, oblations, worship, offerings in charity (Dana), feeding etc. This matter will be dealt with in this book in more detail at the appropriate place. Apart frorn Japas oJ Mantrag use of gem stones, prayers to the planets and other deities are very often resorted to in times of trouble. In North India Hanumargiiisbelieved to solve all problems if the dwotee recites HartumanCtnlisolaprayer book) regularly. Similarly prayers are offered to different deities according to the faith of the devotees. From our. www.cteindia.weebly.com.

C. en. tre. fo. rT. ra. di ti. on. al. Ed. uc. at. io. n. How does the prayer work as a remedy ? The question is answered as under'When one prays one puts one's Ego (which is synonymous with duality) to rest and supplicates the Universal Self for grace. It is, too, well known that all human ills are the result of Ego. When the little self or Ego is subdued, it allows for our true nature to function. Our true nature is but Divinity and Divinity means the end of all problems springing from duality. In practice, when most of us pray there still remain traces of Ego which refuse to be subdued completely and in proportion do our afllictions fade away or remain". www.cteindia.weebly.com.

In order to understand the implications of remedial measures in astrologr it will be very beneficial for the readers (particularly those who have no knowledge of astrolog) to have some idea about Rasls (Signs), planets, their ownership of Rcrsis and Nakshatras (constellations), aspects of planets and also ingredients of a birth chart or horoscope.. di tio. na. lE. du. (1) The birth chart is a map of the heavens which at the time of birth of an individual shows the Ascendant rising at that time and the position of the planets in the twelve houses or signs of the horoscope.. C. en. tre. fo. rT. ra. (2) Rasls (Signs):To lmow about signs it is first necessary to know what is Zodiac .7-odtac is a broad belt in the heavens extending about 9 degrees on each side of the ecliptic. Ecliptic ts the path of the Sun which (path) passes exactly through the centre of the Zodlac.TheZodiac is an imaginary circle of 36O degrees and our ancients divided this circle into twelve equal parts of3o dcgrees each. Each equal part of3O degrees ts known as a sign (Rasr,l.Thus we have twelve signs in the 7-odiac, namely-Aries (MesM, Taurus (Vrishcbtl, Gemini (Mitfuno), Cancer (karka),I,eo (Sunha], Virgo (Karua), Libra (TuIa), Scorpio (Vrischik), Sagittarius (Dhal::u), Capricorn (Makdr), Aquarius (KunbM and Pisces (Meeno).

Rahu and Ketu are friends of Saturn, Venus and Mercury. Actually in nature Rahu is like Saturn and Ketu is like Mais. Friendship amongst individuals depends on the friendship amongst the lords of the acending (Iagna).. C. Ptanet. en. tre. fo. rT. ra. di ti. on. al. (6) There are some signs in which a planet becomes powerful and auspicious. If a planet is exalted in a particular sign, he is debilitated in the sign seventh to it. As the results are very much dependent on the strength of the planets it ls necessary to know the signs of exaltation and debilitation of the various planets.

There is lack of consensus amongst the ancientu about the ourn signs and signs of exaltation and debiliation ofRahu and Ketu.

Malefics destroy the lhings they inlluence and bring misery and troubles to the pers6n who falls their prey. It is, therefore, essential to lorow which planets are benefics and which are malefics irt a birth chart. (8) The Sun, Mars, Saturn, Rahu and Ketu are natural malefics. Jupiter andVenus are naturalbenefics' Moon, when she is powerful, becomes a benefic and she is a malefic when weak. The Moon on the Amornsday (last day of the dark half of the lunar month) is nearest to the Sun. As a result the Moon becomes l.ustreless and entirely weak. Later with the start of Shukta Pakstn (the bright half of the lunar month), Moon moves rorward from the Sun. When the Moon is forward gain strength.

In maintaining that Rahu and Ketu have the 5th house' 7th house and fth house aspects, ShriBhasitlhas expressed the view that if those planets are under the in-fluence of benefics, they communicate the beneficial effects of those benefics with their aspects.

(19) For the sake of illustration let us suppose that at the time of birth of a certain individual, the longitude of the Moon {Chandra Spasfl was lO-6-42 (1.e.Aquarius 6 Degrees 42 minutes). If we see the table in para 17, we find that Moon is in Satabhisha whlch stretches from 1O-6-40 to 1O-2O-O. Thus we would come to know at once that at the time of birth the person concerned was having the major period of Rahu. (2O) Now we will have to find how much of the maJor pertod was to run at the time of birth. It will be seen that total stretch of Satabhishais I3-2O'(13 degreesand 2Omtnutes) i.e. from 10-6-40 to IO-2O-O.Only 2 minutes of longitude have been travelled by Rahu, and he has still to rr.n through 13 degrees and lSmtnutes. When 13 degrees and 2Omtreutes are equal to 18 years, 13 degrees and l8 minutes will be equal to 17 years I I months and 2O days. This means that the remaining period of Rahu's maJor pertod would be 17 years I I months and 2O days. After the major period of Rahu will come the major period ofJupiterwhich will last for,16years. Then will come 19 years of Saturn and 17 years of Mercury and so on in the order given in para lB. www.cteindia.weebly.com.

(5) When a planet is conJoined with lord of the 6th, 8th or 12th house and ts bereft of aspect by a benelic. (6) When a planet is tn exaltation and is retrograde (retrograde : movit:tg in the reverse direction i.e. moving baclnvards tnstead of direct motion). A house is said to be afflicted when it is aspected by a malefic, or a malefic is posited in it, or when the lord of the house is in any of the six circumstances mentioned above. The aspect of a benefic like Jupiter or Venus mitigates the aflliction to a great extent.

The result is that the native often lncurs losses of money on Juplter Lagina Ketu (R) account of deceptton by people (enemies). The sixth house is allllcted on account of the presence of malefics Mars and Rahu. The native always sulfers from some disease or other. The loth house and its lord are alllicted by the aspect of Saturn and there is no aspect of a beneftc on them. The result ls that the native always remains worried for some reason of other and faces a number of set backs in hls career. The 8th house ls afllicted by the presence of Saturn in it and the 12th house is afftcted by the presence of Ketu there and aspect of Mars and Rahu with the result that the native has been put to financial loss very often and iulfers from eye troubles. The 4th House is afftcted because the lord of the 4th Saturn is in the 8th house.

Jupiter's aspect did not help much because Jupiter is also a{Ilicted on account of aspect of Saturn (loth aspect), Mars and Sun. Though the native got children, none of them survived. The lord of the lOth house Jupiter is in the 6th house. As said above Jupiter is alllicted also, but the loth house is not very much afflicted becauseJupiter aspects the lOth house (his own house). The native though started humbly is now well set up in his profession. Saturn as lord of 9th in gth has helped him a lot. The 7th house (house of married happiness) is also afflicted because of the evil inlluence of Rahu and Ketu. The lord of the 7th is in the 6th. Native's married life is not normal.. C. en.

At least thrice daily Sun is prayed for by the Sun's devotees, 'Surya Namaskar'is done by many persons to regain the lost vitality and eye sight. Other nations also pay reverence to sun. He is believed to represent the Creator, the Brohmcr, with his four faces to have a srrrrey of all the four directions causing four seasons and the four elements Fire, Earth, Air and Water. Arnongst the Hindus, it is believed that the Sun is ever moving in a chariot drawn by seven horses. This is probably because in the Sun are contained all the seven colours of the Spectrum (VIBGYOR). When the Sun enters certain significant signs, the Htndus perform some religious function on those diys to satisff the departed souls and offer prayer to Sun God. One such important occasion is Makarasankranfiwhen sun enters the sign Capricorn. The greatest of our ancient astrologers Varahamihfiaworshipped onty Sun God.

As a result of our practical experience of several years we have come to the conclusion that Rahu and Ketu give good results (if not alflicted by a malefic), if they occupy the upaclugohouses, i.e. the houses 3,6,fO and 11. They also give favourable results when they are conjoined with or aspected by lords of beneficial houses particularly yqga karakaplanets i.e. those who own both a kendra (quadrant) or a tnkona {trine) even if such planets may be natural benefics or natural malefics. For example, for Cancer and l,eo Ascendants Mars 7s a gqakaraka planet and if Rahu is associated with or aspected by Mars and ls placed in an auspiclous house, he will $ive the results of a gogakaraka planet. Otherwise Rahu and Ketu should be treated as evil planets and expected to glve only evil results. The diseases caused by Rahu are rheumatism' cholera, dysentry and nasty diseases of mind and body, tendency to commit suicide. Sometimes the diseases are dillicult to diagnose. The diseases ascribed to Ketu are-skin diseases, pimples, colic pains, dropsy, abcesses, paralysis, heart diseases (if Ketu alllicts the Sun) hunger, ring worm, burns, injuries from accidents and fire, apoplocy and smallpox.. www.cteindia.weebly.com.
