We find ourselves encountered with the large num -ber of Inconsistencies and confusions prevailing in the

classical predictive tools which I believe are the res ults of Interpolations and omisSions while recording the principles as enunciated by the propounding fathers. The clues iden-tified by the author on the functional nature of planets

for particll1u ascendant. and application of transit with reference to the natalucendant have solved most of the confusions. The ·Systems· Approach for Interpreting the Horoscopes~ suggested by me in my book having the same

title does not leave a single case being reported in various

astrological journals unexplained with this single approach. The ,wdelines of identifying the functional nature of planets on the ba.is of the mooltrlkona signs of the planet. render the following prevalent, said to be classi-cal principles to

futality:--That the benenc planet owning kendras turn maleflcs

-That the second and seventh house lords act as maraka

planets (death Inflictlng planets).

-That the planets placed in the seventh and second

-That the pla nets associated with the lords of the second and seventh houses act as marakas.

·1'hat the results of transit should be Identified from the natal position of the Moon.

-That the transit can be a pplied In isolation .

-That the planet Saturn. except in the case of ascendants ruled by It and Ven us. always acts as a malefic.

-That the lord of ascendant always proves beneficia l for the native. Venus as lord of Taurus ascendant and Mars as lord of Scorpio ascendant become functional malefics for the native because of their mooltrtkona s igns falling in the sixth house.

A number of confusions and contradictions have been discussed by me in my above referred book. SYS-TEMS' APPROACH FOR INTERPRETING HOROSCOPES.

the study ofwbich will show how ea.y is the comprehen-sion of the system of a.trological interpretations which hitherto had been so difficult to comprehend due to lack of understanding oft he system on the part of the present 8 nd past commentators.

CHAPTER 1

WHY STUDY DMSIONAL CHARTS?

WHAT IS A DMS[ONAL CHART?

First of all let us understand

what

a divisional chart or a varga chart is ? Divisional chart Is erected by dlvidlng a sign into

parts.

For example. if we want to prepare a divisional chart for one ninth part of a sign (Rasl), we wUI divide the 300 _{1.e. extent of a sign in nine equal parts of} 30:20'each. Then

we

have a standard methodology of reckon-ing the signs ornatal planets (planetary position as noted at the time ofblrth) as well as the rising degree ofthe ascendant

in the divisional chart for ninth part which Is known as the navamsa chart. We will not go into the details of preparing the divisional charts here. You can make the divisional charts with the help of the tables 12 to 24 given at the end of the book. We will see the natal sign and degree oCa planet and see its corresponding position in the divisional chart. For example. if an ascendant is rising in Virgo 23°, its

position in decante would be Taurus; in Turyamsa it would

be Gemini; in Panchamsa it would be Leo; in Sapthamsa it would be Leo; and so on and so forth. The natal sign Is to be

read in columns and natal degrees are to be read in the rows. The corresponding number reckoned with the help of the column position and row position represents the sign num-ber in the concerned divisional chart.

IMPORTANT DIVISIONAL CHARTS

Forclusterwise detailed analysis, the divisional charts have to be studied. These are studied for two purposes. Firstly to see the strength of a planet by observing its placement in various divisions. Iflt is placed in its own sign.

friendly sign or its exaltation sign in most afthe divisions. It is treated to be strong. Its placement in most of the dlvislons in its sign of debilitation renders it weak. A planet which is weak in the natal chart does not improve Its position by

we

will

treat

planets Rahu. Ketu and those whose mooltrtkona signs fall in the houses sixth. eighth and twelfth from the natal

ascendant as functionally unfavourable for the owner of the

chart.

Secondly the divisional charts are studied for

identi-fying the results of a particular sector of Ufe by studying the

corresponding divisional chart along with the concerned

house in the natal (birth) chart. Like lfwe want to study the general fortune, we wtll study the ninth house and the divisional chart known as navamsa (D·[x) along with the

natal (birth) chart of the person.

RASI CHARTS AT TIMES CAN BE MISLEADING

Those houses are considered strong which are

occu-pied

I

aspected by their own lords and functionally favourable planets. whose lords are strong by way of exaltation and placement in angles or trines.

As per Sarvartha Chintamant. a classic, If a natural benefic planet is lord of any house and Is located in

that

house or aspectS It and the houses aspected or associated are not under the influence of malefic planets by association or aspect. the house concerned gets boosted in regard to the

traits related to it.

Still at times, we come across charts where inspt!e of certain houses being strong in main charts, the nat1v~ do

not get the desired results. How can we identifY such combinations and offer correct predictions? The answer lies in analysing the concerned house of a main chart in associa-tion with study of the corresponding divisional chart as lndicated earlier under the sub-heading slgn1ftcations of the important divisional charts. In fact any prediction wtthout its being subJected to testln the relevantdMsion. stands less

chances ofits becoming true. The study ofvartous houses. in fact. gives the clues to trends in Ufe whereas the exact happenings are delineated with the help of the strength of the operating sub-period lord in transit in particular and the various exact wnJWlCtlons or exact aspects fonned by the transit planets in relation to the natal (birth) positIons.

Let us see the following charts. the main charts of which are quite misleading:·

In navamsa Jupiter. the lord of the ninth houseof the Rasi chart Is in its sign of debilitation while in dwadasamsa it is aspected by Rahu. The significator for father. the Sun. occupies its sign of debilitation tn dwadasamsa while it Is associated with Ketu in the navamsa. Ketu also aspects both the ascendants of the navamsa and dwadasamsa. Ketu is known as the planet of miseries. In the Rasl chart, Rahu is closely conjunct with the mid-point of the fourth house. The planets o:cupytng the sign Virgo, Scorpio and Pisces, which are lnauspicious stgns of the natural zodiac. also become somewhat weak. Venus in this chart is

in Scorpio and Jupiter Is in Pisces. Jupiter. the Sun. Venus and the Moon become sJgntficators for the father while Rahu and Ketu are the afllictors. The Moon, the slgnificator for the mother, occupies angular houses in main chart and navaIn8a and Its own sign in thedwadasamsa.

The lord of the house of the family occupies angular position from the lagna(ascendant).Inspite of all these positive com-binations the marital-bond could not survive. The seventh house has close aspect ofKetu and the twelfth lord has close conjunction with Ketu. The manglayasthan and its lord does not have any malefic aspects on them.

In D-lX, the lagna is occupied by the debilitated Sun, who is secondary significator for the husband as well. The significator for the husband. Jupiter, occupies its sign of debilitation. Mercury the lord of the seventh house of the main chart occupies its own sign in the D-lX. The ascendant lord of the D-lX, Venus, is afflicted due to its occupying the house of debilitated Jupiter. Saturn ruling bed comforts in D-I is closely conjunct with Ketu and occupies its debUitated navamsa. Fourth house of the D-lX is highly afflicted by the presence of debilitated Jupiter as also aspect of Ketu.

The· girl who was married in June, 1985, faced

numerous problems in her marital life which ultimately ended in a divorce. From June, 1987, onwards the main period of the ninth and second lord, Mars, was tn progress. The brief spell of sub-period of Mars in its own period could not reverse the trouble started by the sub-period of Venus and the Sun in the main period of the Moon. The strong seventh lord could not withstand the affiiction caused by Ketu. Saturn's sub-period in the main period of Mars saw end of the alliance.

Both ninth and seventh lords of 0-1 join the debilitated Moon in the stgn Scorpto and sixth house from the ascendant of the navamsa. Rahu and Ketu occupy the angular positions in navamsa. Mercury as lord offourth ofD-I Is relegated to the sixth house. indicates the involve-ment of assets in life and domestic happiness in disputes.

As the main period of Jupiter. who is lord of the ascendant in the dasamsa, is in operation, the native had to work after the death of the husband.

Thus the study of divisional charts becomes neces-sary for clearly delineating the results of the various sectors of life.

SPECIAL DEMANDS ON ASTROLOGERS FOR nMING

OF£VENTS

Hundred percent benefits of predlcttve astrology can be enjoyed only if the events are properly timed. Life these days is vel)' fast. Every body wants to know what is going to happen and when because in the fast life nobody has the time and patlence. Moreover, the dis believers in this

science and the people who are shaky turn believers if the predictions made. duly timed. become true.

Numerous dk:ta are avaUable In astrological classical texts on predictive astrology. Most of the texts indicate as to what will be the effect of a partlc1llar planet in a particular sign.. Yet it is absolutely impossible for inclusion orall such incidents due to which the effects are going to change on accOlmt of aspects of other planets. their iXlsltton and

strengths. That Is why many oftndications do not stand the

testoftlme. I would like to state. humbly. that the predictive

astrology is a matter of comprehension of the system in place

of memorising combinations given in the books as the

combinations

are

subject to venous measures of strength of

the planets as also the aspects.

Apart from the ftUldamental analysis of the main

chart the following considerations play important role in

t1rn1ngthe events. the examinatlon ofdMslonal charts being the most Important:

HOW TO STUDY

DIVISIONAL CHARTS

Although ancient astrological texts mention how to work out the divisional charts and importance ofthelr study. nowhe.e nn integrated approach for study of the divisional

charts is available. SoUtary 8utms lndicating that if a

par-ticularplanet Is in such and such sign In the such and such divisional chart then the results would be so and so, find

place in the text and commentarIes of anelent astrological writers. These texts and commentaries are suffering from both omIssions and interpolations because of the absence of recording facilities. Therefore, we have to be careful in

adopting only such classical principles which stand the test of the tlme. These classical principles have to be read in

conjunction with one another and not in Isolation.

aefore proceeding with dLscussion on the integrated

approach (or studying divisional charts. we should attempt to have an overall view oft~ horoscope as given hereunder:

.

PRIME FACTORS

First of all the position of lord of ascendant and

ascendant is to be seen as the whole activity revolves around the ascendant. All the results of the chart are to be felt by the

native concerned and In case the ascendant Is weak or the

longevity is less, the various effects of the chart would be of

no use to the native. The next comes the strength of the Moon

as a sound mind can only provk:le the native opportunities for rise In life.

If

the Moon is strong and has the help of a

favourable Mercury and Jupiter. the native can make best

use of opportunlties avalla ble to him. The Moon also is the

signiflcator of mother and ifstrong. would a fford to the native

appropriate motherly comforts for proper development ofllfe.

Then comes the Sun, the signiflcator offather, and the ninth

house which supports the native in the early years of life so to say tUI the child ls competent to lead h is own Ufe. If the

Sun, the ninth house or its lord are weak, father of the natlve

has short life or lacks the power to support the native. In fact If all the ascendant, the Moon, the Sun and the 9th house

ina naUvity are strong the naUve would get opportunities for advancement in life; so to say he has the capacity

learn and to make use of it.

IOENTIFICATION OF FUNCTIONAL NATURE OF PLAN ETS.

The planets. whose mooltrikona sign fall s in au

IMPORTANT YOGAS

The important yagas like Raj Vagas, Ohana Vagas, Aristha Vagas" exchange of houses etc., are checked and the . extent of their operation in the life of the native is evaluatedThe planets involved in good and fortunate yagas confer name, fame and comforts on the native and on the other hand the planets involved in aristha yogas put the native to sufferings. The in-fluence of functional benefic planets on other benefic natal configurations caUse good yogas. The influence of the func-tional malefics having close conjunction / aspect with func-tional benefics or most effective points of houses cause com-binations for misfortunes i.e. Aristha Yogas.

PREDICTIVE TOOLS

After ascertaining the above. following predictive tools are applied:

a) The detailed analysis of planets whose periods are in operation. their disposition. afflictions/benefic influence on them. their natural stgn1ficattons. the houses ruled by them.

2.

h) The lnfiuence of Jupiter. the planet of divine grace if

correctly worked out alongwith divisional charts.

rules of the predictive astrology. However, for considering

the position of significations ruled

by

a particular plant;, in the main chart, its strength in the relevant D-chart sho uld be taken into account.

5. A planet which is weak on account of debilitation in the

Raslchart during the course of Its sub periods would hardly

be of any help to the slgnlflcations oflts concerned divisional

charts. In this connection the readers may please refer to

Chapter-3 on ~DebUitated Planets~.

6. A planet which Is weak due to combustion. lacks power to

protect or promote the houses and significations ruled by It. In thJs connection. the readers may please refer to Chapter -4 on ~Combust Planets~ for details.

7. Whenever the sign occupied by the Moon, being weak is transltted by Ketu and other functional malefics. the signi

There has

whether the varga

The study of various charts together with their divi-sional charts shows that dlvislonal charts have to be read

only as
