Differences between KP and Four Step Method

The Four Step Method was presented in easy manner by a study note on “Four Step Theory” in the KPE-Zine, Dec 2007 issue. Here is another study note on differences between KP and Four Step Method.

Sr KP FOUR STEP

1 Signification by a Planet 1)Planet is the source,

constellation indicates nature of the results and the SUB is deciding factor whether the matter is

favorable or not

2) K.M. Subramaniam considers the sub lord as a decider and its star lord for its signification.

(Sublord Speaks LX, last article, in K P & Astrology 1998)

Signification by a Planet

1) A planet signifies the event through 4 steps: i)Planet itself, ii) Star lord of the planet, iii) Sub lord of the planet, iv) Star lord of this sub lord, and 3rd & 4th steps

are more important.

2) The 4th step is the alleged extension. 3) The SUB lord in 3rd step is also a significator not a decider like in KP.

2 Basic Significators

1) All significators are considered in the order of strength, grade A,B,C,D & E with the astrologer’s own judgment based on his experience taking into account of sub lords.

2) Signification at the planet, star and sub levels are simultaneously considered by C.R. Bhatt, K.M. Subramaniam (Sublord Speaks), Kanak Bosmia etc.

3) A planet having no planet in its star is considered as a strong significator of the houses for whose cusps the planet is a sub lord. (Kuppu Ganapathi, Vaikari Ramamurthy, Kanak Bosmia etc) 4) The sub lord is a decider in judging whether a planet or cusp or significator or dasa lord is favorable or not.

Basic Significators

1) Only the primary or strong significators are considered.

2) The house occupied by a planet with no planet in its star or a planet in its own star (KP grade B significator) and the houses owned by the planet when they are empty (KP grade D significators) are 4 step primary significators (upgraded KP grade A significators from B & D).

3) The house occupied by a planet acting as the star lord of another planet, i.e. a planet in the step 2 or 4 (KP grade A significator) and the houses owned by the planet when they are empty (KP grade C significators) are 4 step primary significators (KP grade A & upgraded KP grade A significators from C).

4) The signification of a planet in 1st and 3rd step (sub lord) having another planet in its star is not considered, i.e. useless.

3 Rahu/Ketu Significators

1) Whether Rahu/Ketu is a planet or star lord or sub lord, the followings e been found taken in KP Readers depending on relevance to the event under consideration regardless of their sequence of order (“Rahu/Ketu Rules in KP” by Tin Win in KPE-Zine, May 2007):

i) House occupied by Rahu/Ketu, ii) Planet in conjun. with Rahu/Ketu, iii) Planet in aspect to Rahu/Ketu and iv) Star lord of Rahu/Ketu,

v) Sign lord of rasi sign occupied by Rahu/Ketu.

2) Conjunction in the same rasi sign and Hindu aspect without orb are used. 3) No planet is wholly benefic or

malefic depending on the signification at 3 levels by occupation and lordship.

Rahu/Ketu Significators

1) The same rules of primary significators in point 2.2. apply to Rahu/Ketu.

2) Only if Rahu/Ketu is itself the primary significator, then the house occupied, the planets in conjunction or aspecting within the orb of 3° 20′ (extendable to 5° esp. for fast moving planets, if needed), its star lord and sign lord also will become the primary significators.

3) When Rahu/Ketu is the star lord of another planet, i.e. it is in the step 2 or 4, the house occupied and the houses owned by its star lord are considered.

4) Rahu is a blemish planet, which creates problems and does not give the results effectively to the native when it is in the DBA, unless Rahu is a strong significator of the improving houses in all 4 steps.

4 KP Grade E to Grade A Significators 1) They are considered as weak

significator after grade A,B,C & D and used as a last resort.

2) Conjunction in the same rasi sign and Hindu aspect are considered without using orb.

3) Grade E significators are planets which are conj. and aspected “by” significators A,B,C,D but not planets “aspecting” A,B,C,D.

4) No planet is wholly benefic or malefic depending on its signification at planet, star and sub levels by occupation and lordship.

5) Rahu/Ketu does not aspect any planet or house since it is not a planet having physical body but it is only a sensitive intersecting point in the pathway of Sun and Moon.

KP Grade E to Grade A Significators 1) If a planet is in conjunction with a cusp within the prescribed orb, behind or ahead the cusp, the planet automatically becomes a primary (KP grade A) significator of this cusp in any of 4 steps.

2) Only if the original planet itself is a primary significator, i) if a planet is conjoined with another planet within the prescribed orb, the planet is a primary significator of another planet, ii) if a planet aspects on the cusps within the prescribed orb, the planet becomes a primary

significator of these houses whose cusps are aspected; iii) if a planet has the Hindu aspect (throwing or receiving) with another planet within the prescribed orb, the planet is a primary significator of another planet. 3) Ketu’s 7th aspect on the cusp is taken. 4) A well known practitioner does not use the 7th aspect of planets.

5 Ruling Planets

1) The RPs in order of preference are: i) Lagna’s star lord

ii) Lagna’s sign lord iii) Moon’s star lord iv) Moon’s sign lord v) Day lord,

2) Moon’s sub lord and Lagna’s sub lord are added by some KP followers. 3) If Rahu/Ketu is in conj. or aspect with the RP; or if it occupies the sign owned by the RP, Rahu/Ketu should be included as the RP.

Ruling Planets

1) The RPs are in the order of: i) Lagna lord, ii) Moon’s star lord, iii) Moon’s sign lord, and iv) Day lord only.

2) Rahu/Ketu is considered as RP, only if it directly appears in the RPs.

3) The alleged advancement of 4 step is fixing the DBA without using the RPs. 4) But RPs are used to confirm or correct the sub lord of the cusp under judgment. But it is not to recast the horoscope again and to correct only the required sub lord because when one judges the other matter

ASTROVISION ISSUE # 7 JULY 2008 4) The RP in the star or sub of

retrograde planet should be omitted.

of the same native then again one will confirm the related cuspal sub lord..

6 Retrogression

1) It does not matter in the natal chart analysis but it does not give results in Horary, if it comes as star/sub lords to the significator. 2) A convincing proof is still needed for a claim that retrogression has no effect in Horary.

Retrogression

1) Retrogression is not working in the Horary as well as natal prediction.

2) But retrogression is used in checking the transits of DBA lords, which should not be in the concerned star and sub of retrograde planets for the materialization of an event. 7 Uranus, Neptune & Pluto

Pluto, no more a planet since 2006, now called Plutoid, was not even mentioned in KP Readers. No planet is wholly benefic or malefic.

Uranus, Neptune & Pluto

Pluto gives adverse results. Negative effect of Neptune is not yet sure on the basis of

insufficient cases. 8 House Grouping

Mostly 3, rarely 4 houses are grouped for an event to happen.

House Grouping

More houses are added, for marriage 2,7,11 & 5,8; for foreign 3,9,12 & 5,7.

9 More than one Marriage

If 7th cusp sub lord is connected to duality & 2nd cusp sub lord signifies 7th

More than one Marriage

If the sub lords of 7th cusp & 7th cusp are the same.

10 Cannot Own a House in Life Guruji KSK’s 4th cusp sub lord is Rahu.(Astrosecrets & KP Part II, p 252)

Cannot Own a House in Life If 4th cusp sub lord is Rahu, which is allegedly said by Guruji KSK.

11 Child Sex

By male or female planet of 5th cusp sub lord, its star lord, lords of the signs occupied by them and planets conj. and aspecting them.(MP Shanmugam)

Child Sex

If the 4th step star lord of child cusp (starting from 5th for mother and 11th for father) sub lord is in odd sign, male child is indicated; if in even sign, female.

12 Promise of Event

1) It is promised, if the sub lord of cusp under judgment is a

significator of any of the required houses (2, 7, 11 for marriage) without any other strong negative signification.

2) It is not promised, if the cusp sub lord does not signify any of the required houses or there is a strong negative signification.

.

Promise of Event

1) It is promised, if the sub lord of concerned cusp under judgment is a primary significator of any of the required houses (2, 7, 11 & 5, 8 for marriage) in any of 4 steps unless there are only the primary significators of totally negative houses (1, 6, 10, 12) in the steps 3 and 4.

2) It is not promised, only if the primary significators of totally negative houses appear in the steps 3 & 4.

13 Negative House

The previous house is detrimental or Vyaya or negative to the matters of next house. (KP Reader III & IV, Bhatt’s Nakshatra Chintamani).

Negative House

The 1st house is not a negative house for 2nd, but a primary house to get money; 10th is not a negative house to 11th but it is not applicable in marriage matters.

14 Computerized Significators Grade A,B,C & D are not final and to be judged by the concerned subs etc.

Computerized Significators

They are final as supported by KPAstro 3.0, Astro-Kundli etc.

15 Fixing DBAS

1) 3 methods of selecting fruitful

significators: i) by using RPs; ii) selecting the significators which are in the stars of the cusp sub lord of the concerned houses; iii) selecting the significators whose sub lords are one of the significators.

2) Significators which signify 12th to the required houses should be rejected. The houses 6,8,12 to the concerned house are unfavorable to this house.

3) A planet which appears many times among signficators/RPs or connected to various significators should be chosen.

Fixing DBAS

1) The event will fructify only when the DBA lords are jointly the primary significators of all the required houses (2, 7, 11 for marriage), signifying at least one different house each by DBA. 2) Events are found happen without the complete DBA chain and so Sookshma is included to make a chain complete chain in DBAS. It is also said to use both chains without a prior clue which chain will be complete in reality. Some hints are available how to choose Antara but Sookshma is decided on case by case basis only.

16 Transit Check

An event generally happens during the joint period of the significators when the transit agrees i.e. at the time while Sun, Moon and joint DBAS lords are found to be transiting in the star or sub of the same joint DBAS lords.

Transit Check

1) The event will fructify, only if the star lord for fast moving planets and sub lord for slow moving planets, in which the DBA lords are transiting, are the primary significators of the required houses in the first 2 steps, neglecting negative houses.

2) The event will not happen during the period while there are only the primary significators of the totally negative houses in the first 2 steps or while the said star lord or sub lord is retrograde. 17 Significators of almost All Houses

3 selection methods and other means in item 15 can be used.

Significators of almost All Houses It is stuck and the same with

significators of a very few houses only. 18 Bottom Line

Since the techniques and steps are not the same, the results can be different.

Bottom Line

Since the techniques and steps are not the same, the results can be different

Democratic nomination for President of the United States

My sister who is living in USA was interested to know who will be elected as a Presidential candidate; either Hillary Clinton Or Barack Obama? She gave me number 123.

This time also I want to Analyze chart with different view and my own different Rules.

Rule:1

One can selected as a candidate or get ticket for election if Asc (Tendency of people of Country) sub lord should be signifies 6(victory), 11 (Gain). For opponent candidate Asc (Tendency of people of Country) sub lord should be signifies 12(victory of Opponent), 5 (Gain of opponent)

Rule:2

One can be selected as a candidate or get ticket for elections if 3rd (View of People) sublord should be signifies 1(Self), 6(victory), 11 (Gain). But If 9th _{(opposite View of People) sub lord signifies 7(Opponent) 12(victory of Opponent), 5}

(Gain of opponent) opponent get ticket or select as a candidate.

My sister as me who will selected as a presidential candidate?. Hillary Clinton Or Barack Obama?, she ask me first name Hillary Clinton so I select Asc for Hillary Clinton and 7th for Barack Obama.

When I calculate this horary both are very near as per RCP Poll average Barack Obama 42% and Hillary Clinton 45% ,( http://news. yahoo.com/ election/ 2008/dashboard).

In April issue of ASTROVISION Issue I had written an article on the same above rules for getting ticket in an election, and now same rules give very clear cut result.

Horary Details:

Quarry: who will select as a presidential candidate Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama? Horary No: 123 Date: 10/2/2008 Time: 05.32.51 PM Place: L.G.Hospital- Ahmedabad 23 N 00 , 72 E 36

Rule:1

One can selected as a candidate or get ticket for election if Asc (Tendency of people of Country) sublord should be signifies 6(victory), 11 (Gain). For opponent candidate Asc (Tendency of people of Country) sublord should be signifies 12(victory of Opponent), 5 (Gain of opponent)

Asc sublord is Jup. Jup is in the star of Ven and sub of Mar.

Jup is in 3, lord of 4,7. Ven is in 4 lord of 2,9. Mar is in 9 lord of 3,8. In this case we do not foind out 6,11 or 5,12. So we check Vedic( Rasi to Rasi) aspect of above planet. Jup aspect on 8,10,12.Ven aspect on 10 and Mar aspect on 1,4,5 .

Asc sublord signifies 5,and 12 and not signifies 6,11 anyhow. So clearly indicate victory of Barack Obama. But befor we come to any opinion we have to check second rule:

ASTROVISION ISSUE # 7 JULY 2008

Rule:2

One can selected as a candidate or get ticket for election if 3rd (View of People) sublord should be signifies 1(Self), 6(victory), 11 (Gain). But If 9th (opposite View of People) sublord signifies 7(Opponent) 12(victory of Opponent), 5 (Gain of opponent) opponent get ticket or select as a candidate.

3rd and 9th sublord is Rahu. Rahu is in the star of Mar and sub of Ven. Rahu is in 5, no planet in the star of Rahu and Rahu is sublord of 3,9. Rahu is in Sat sign, Sat is in 11 lord of 5,6. Mar is in 9 lord of 3,8. Ven is in 4 lord of 2,9.

This rule indicate 6,11 for Hillary and 5 for Obama, but Rule:1 clearly indicate us for Obama so In my opinion after tuff fight, Barack Obama Will be selected as a precedential election candidate.( No retro effect considered in my analysis)

Actual Outcome:

Message from David Plouffe: The Nomination

Barack Obama has clinched the Democratic nomination for President of the United States. The total number of delegates needed to secure the nomination is 2,118. Right now, Barack has the support of at least 2,179 delegates, which gives him a lock on the nomination. Thank you for all you have done. Your support has brought us to this moment. Watch the video of Barack's victory speech and make a donation today to support the next phase of this movement…

Barack Obama Vs John McCain for US President

1. On the basis of the latest available information on birth time i) 19:24 PM from the posted Barack Obama's birth certificate on the Daily Kos site on June 12, 2008 and ii) 11:00 AM for John Mc Cain, the KP assessment of their charts has be presented in this article.

http://campaignspot.nationalreview.com/post/?q=NWVjN2I1MjlhM2ZjZjRjYzBkODAxZjZk ZGQyYWNkMDk

2. Obama’s marriage on Oct 18, 1992 (Rah-Ven-Mer-Jup DBAS) and leaving for 6 nation tour to Africa on Aug 18, 2006 (Jup-Ven-Mer-Ven) tally with this birth time. But his living in Jakarta with his mother and Indonesian stepfather from ages six to ten (Moon Dasa) cannot be justified. As per Mc Cain’s given birth time, 12th cusp sub lord Rahu tallies with his prisoner of war event and 7th cusp sub lord Mercury and 2nd cusp sub lord Rahu in 7th house agree with his second marriage.

9. It is found that changes of Bhukti from Sun to Moon for Barack Obama and Dasa from Saturn to Mercury for John Mc Cain will be crucial, and John Mc Cain has a better chance to win in the battle grounds of election with better signification of 6,10 and 11 houses by DBAS lords and transit especially in the sub level. The importance of dasa can be seen from George W Bush’s chart for no recovery after entering his nasty Dasa Mercury, which is in 1 and lord of 12 and in the own star and sub of Mercury, since Apr 29, 2006.

Love & Marriage—KP Analysis

A client came to me on 18-5-2008 and told me that he was in love with his colleague and wanted to marry her as his second wife. I asked him to give a number within 249. He immediately gave me 116/249 I told him to meet me after four or five days as I have no time to attend for his work now immediately. The horary chart casted for it is appended at the end of this article. D.O.J=20-5-2008, T.O.J= 12-30AM, P.O.J=Kurnool(A.P)

Moon should indicate the query. So let us see what Moon says. Moon is the occupant of 2nd _{and the}

owner of 11th and it is in the constellation of Jupiter who owns 4 and 11. Thus the Moon indicates 2 ,7 and 11 So the query is true.

Next step is to see whether the querrent’s love affair is promised or not.

RULE:- If the sub-lord of the 5th cusp is deposited in the constellation of a planet who is the significator of the houses 7 and 11, then materialization of the love affair is promised. But if the sub-lord of the 5th cusp happens to be in a constellation , the lord of which is the significator of the houses 6 or 12, then it will never materialise. If it is in the constellation of the significator of 6, the other party falls out. But if the sub-lord of the 5th _{is in the constellation of the planet signifying}

the 12th house then the consultant himself will drop the idea.(Horary Astrology VI Reader Page No.191)

The sub-lord of the 5th _{cusp Jupiter is in the constellation of sun who is the owner of 12 and the}

occupant of 8th_{. He also owns 4}th _{also. Thus Jupiter signifies 12, 8 and 4. It is understood that his}

love affair will be dropped by himself only.

Next let us see whether the second marriage will take place or not.( See Horary Astrology VI Reader Page No.165)

Second marriage is indicated if the following two conditions are simultaneously satisfied:- (1) The Sub-lord of the 7th _{cusp is deposited ia a dual sign or in the constellation of a planet in or owning}

a dual sign or if the sub-lord of the 7th cusp is Mercury, and (2) the sub-lord of the 7th cusp is also a significator of either of the houses 2 or 11.

If any one of the above two conditions is not satisfied, then second marriage is denied.

In this chart (1) the sub-lord of the 7th cusp Jupiter is deposited in a dual sign (i.e) in Dhanush Rasi. as he is the owner of dual sign. (2) The sub-lord of the 7th _{cusp is not at all signifying either}

of the houses 2 or 11.

The first condition is satisfied and the second condition is not satisfied. So I declared that his love affair ;will never be materialized and he cannot marry her as his second wife.

On 14th _{of this month, he came to me and told that she was having some contact with another one}

who is her classmate and also a distant relative for her. So, he confirmed to drop the idea of love and marriage her as his second wife.

Credit for this correct prediction will go only to Prof.Late.Sri.K.S.Krishna Murthy, the inventor of this great, accurate and scientific method in this Astrological World. H.No.116/249, D.O.J=20-5-2008, P.O.J=Kurnool(A.P)., T.O.J=12-30AM.

The Lo Shu grid is a 3x3 magic square in which the sum of the three numbers add up to fifteen row wise. This grid shows man’s interaction with the five elements such as Earth, Water, Fire, Wood and Metal. In Lo Shu all the elements are needed for a prosperous life are analyzed on the basis of the date of birth. Each ELEMENT is having a particular number and element.

Water Element - 1 Earth Element - 2, 5, 8

Wood Element - 3, 4 Metal Element – 6, 7 Fire Element – 9

By entering the date of birth below, the missing element and its effect on the concerned person is ascertained. Each digit in a person’s birth date is associated with the corresponding element and the missing factor is known. This grid also tells us the areas, which come under the influence of each sector with reference to our particular buildings. Thus this square gives us the exact area in the building which is under the influence of each direction. So this is also called as “The Magic Square”.

Longevity Analysis of Current Pakistan's Ruling Government

Longevity Analysis of Current Pakistan's Ruling Government

Longevity Analysis of Current Pakistan's Ruling Government

Longevity Analysis of Current Pakistan's Ruling Government

I know, we have the Oath taking time of the current Pakistan’s Prime Minister. I do not know how accurate those oath taking details are and also there are various definitions of oath taking muhurtams, so, I have decided to cast a Prashna Chart and analyzed the longevity of this government.

I have casted a Time Chart (Prashna Chart) with a question in mind as “Will this Government Completes its full term?” In other words from an astrological analysis point of view, what is the Longevity of this Government is the question. The Time Chart details are as follows and same were considered for this analysis. I have used KP method with equal house system for this analysis.

Date: May 9, 2008 Time: 22:30:22

Time Zone: 5:00:00 (West of GMT) Place: 93 W 20' 59", 44 N 53' 23" Edina, Minnesota, USA

1) Lagna is Scorpio. Lagna sub lord is Sat (politician) deposited in 9th house. Here I meant Sat as Politician, because he never reveal the truth and hide many of the matters.

2) Lagna Sub is Sat and placed in 9th house of Government. 9th _{lord is placed in 12}th _house

too. So the Question is correct about Government and its longevity.

3) Lagna Sub Lord’s Star lord tells about the result and here Ketu is the star lord of Sat. Ketu is placed in 9th house itself and also significator of 6th, 8th , 9th and 11th houses.

4) 6th _{and 8}th _{house is not supportive houses for a ruling of a full term for any Government.}

Here Ketu signifies both 9th, 11th and 6th, 8th houses, so there is a 50% chance of completing the full term.

5) Lagna Sub Lord’s Sub lord is Jup. Jup is the significator of 1st _{, 2}nd _,5th _,6th _{and 10}th _houses.

Houses 1st _{and 10}th _{are good houses for status but here Jup (retro) also signifies the 6}th _house

too. Also here the Jup’s 2nd _{and 5}th _{houses signification indicates that the Government will}

have to struggle to complete the full term.

6) In summary, the above combinations indicate that the Government under this ruler ship will not complete the full term.

7) Now, let us find out the longevity of this Government. The houses for a stable Government are: 1st (Ruler), 7th (Public), and 9th (Govt). The 12th houses from these houses are problem houses and they are 6th_{, 8}th _{and 12th. So they will bring the government and their}

8) So the significator of 6th _{, 8}th _{and 12}th _{houses are:}

• 6th = Ven, Sun, Merc, Ketu and Jup • 8th = Mar, Merc and Rahu

• 12th = Moon.

So final list of planets are: Ven, Sun, Jup, Mars, Mer, Ketu, Rah and Moon.

9) Now, let us see the transits to time the event. Lagna Sub is Sat and placed in Fixed sign, so Jup Transits will give the event timing.

10) Jup is now in Sagittarius: Sign-Star-Sub of Jup-Sun-Moon. So when Jup transits into Sat-Mar-Sat the event will happen, which is basically by end of April 2009 the Government will loose their ruling power.

Observations on dusthanas: Part-04 : Ashtakavarga

This section of the article highlights the role of ashtakavarga as an important predictive tool giving the general awareness on the usage of some of the important norms of ashtakavarga for assessing the strength of the dusthanas in particular.

Ashtakavarga provides dependable method to assess the strength of signs and planets. Sage Parashara has advocated this system fundamentally to provide a mathematical platform to assess the strength of a sign or a planet by the numerical figures, which is easy to follow. The application of ashtakavarga may be utilised for the assessment of all the houses and thus it gives a concluding view to the decision when in doubt, as it is said that “ Rely on ashtakavarga when in doubt.”

In the present context of discussions on The Dusthanas, it may be said that the ashtakavarga provides decisive factors about the strength of The Dusthanas in a chart, where there has been prevailing a good amount of confusion because of the controversial statements made by the celebrated ancient writers on the modalities of its relevance and its application area. Largely, the ancient writers have indicated that the Sarvashtaka bindu strength should not be high for Dusthanas while the higher strength has been advocated for lagna, kendra, trikona etc. It is perhaps referred in the context of their own life style, which was very pious and spiritual where the Dusthanas were obstructive to have a dominant role to play. From this assertion, the fact emerges that the higher bindus conferred on dusthanas or on the signs occupied by dusthana Lords make them stronger and thereby enhance the positive qualities of the dusthanas. In light of the depleting ideals and lost virtues in Kaliyuga, the strength of Kendras and Trikonas in a chart is gradually losing relevance and the strength of dusthanas is gaining importance, as strong dusthanas may indicate the extent of success or failure of a native in the prevailing corrupt and the competitive environment. These attributes could have been useless in ancient times but they do carry much relevance for the present day scenario of the materialistic world and thus may not be ignored.

Ashtakavarga thus gives a handy support to the conventional predictive tools as it provides simpler assessment of the strength of signs and planets. It also gives accurate picture of the strength of the shadowy planets (Rahu and Ketu) in a chart, the strength assessment of which is occasionally difficult and tricky.

In the ashtakavarga way of assessment, the Sarvashtaka (SAV) sign strength is of first importance to start with where 28 bindus may be considered as the bare minimum for the rising beneficence. A planet posited in a sign having more than 30 bindus would be rated good in strength whereas if associated with more than 40 bindus may make it exceptionally strong. The finer shade of the planetary strength may be examined by the bhinnashtaka (BAV) chart of the planet in question and by the number of points enjoyed by the planet at its natal sign may be examined. In addition, the relation of a planet with the other planet may be very easily judged by the count of benefic bindus conferred by one planet at its natal sign in the BAV chart of the other planet and vice versa. If such a benefic point count cross a count of 3, it is said to cross the threshold towards its beneficience. The order of beneficience shall be at

ASTROVISION ISSUE # 5 MAY 2008 its best on the count of bindus of 8. The bindus less than 3 indicate poor strength and thereby malefic results.

On still finer analysis, the Prasthara ashtakavarga (PAV) chart may be referred to detail out the planets, which contribute the bindus to the BAV chart. The details of the planets involved in providing the bindus at a certain location to a planet dictate the end results according to their natural and functional lordship.

The kakshya strength of planets is yet another dimension of the ashtakavarga system which need mention. This offers an immensely important decision to delineate the dasha results. It involves finding the kakshya in which a planet is located natally and thereafter to look into the PAV of the planet whether the kakshya lord has contributed a benefic bindu or not at the natal sign position of the planet. In case, of the kakshya lord contributes a benefic bindu to the planet at its natal position, the dasha/antardasha of the planet and its kakshya lord shall be largely harmonious irrespective of the houses they own and vice-versa.

The point, which may be derived from the above discussion, is if the dusthana lords enjoy good strength in SAV and BAV charts at their natal position, they are said to be strong in a chart and vice versa. In the light of the similar approach, any 2 planets in a chart, if enjoy high SAV bindu strength, enjoy high BAV bindu strength at their natal position as well as at the natal position of each other, shall be said to be in mutual harmony and it would not matter much even if those 2 planets are placed in mutual Dusthanas. In such situation, the positive results may be expected even if they are seen in the mutually bad placement in their mutual dasha/antardasha. Further, if the Kakshya lord of a planet is in harmony with the planet by the contribution of a benefic bindu at its natal position, it may be almost a certainty to have an harmonious dasha/antardasha of the said planet and its kakshya lord irrespective of any other factor and thereby promoting the positive features of the houses owned by the planets during the relevant dasha periods. The same considerations may be extended for the planets in transit and snapshot behavior of the transit results may be assessed irrespective of many superfluous considerations.

The discussion on ashtakavarga is not further continued, but a mention is necessary here to emphasize that the assessment of a chart is incomplete without the consideration of the ashtakavarga strength pertaining to the signs and planets. Further, it is almost an absolute necessity to assess the ashtakavarga strength of the dusthanas for understanding their true shade of influence on the native.

REDICTIONS

The following article was published in "The Times of Astrology" magazine Jan '99, New Delhi, India.

The intention of this article is not that the senior astrologers would not know the problems in giving accurate predictions, but to once again recapitulate the same while introducing the intricacies to the beginners in this subject.

AYANAMSHA

In the Hindu (Vedic) astrology, the Nirayana system is used to calculate the Lagna (Ascendant) and longitudes of planets, by deducting the Ayanamsha from Sayana system positions. The popular ayanamshas used are of Lahiri, Raman and Krishnamurthy (K. P.). The differences in ayanamshas vary from about 6 minutes to 1 degree 30 minutes in these systems. As a typical case, in year 1938 the ayanamshas are about Lahiri 23-00, Raman 21-33 and K. P 22-54. When the Lagna and the planets are at the edge of a Rashi (sign), these three ayanamshas may give different lagnas and planetary positions in the rashis. If not in the Rashi chart, they will definitely affect the other Varga (divisional) charts, particularly the Shatshiamsha (1/60 part = 30 minutes) chart. If one can go into the Nadi amsha ( 1/150 part=12 minutes), the situation will be definitely the worst.

In this connection, our respected late Sri R. Santhanam states in is book Deva Keralam: To wit, if a planet, say Saturn is in Aries 19-59 as per Lahiri Ayanamsha, another Ayanamsha even with a small difference of minus 2' of arc can place Saturn somewhat ahead and give it Libra navamsha instead of Virgo navamsha due to Lahiri. Saturn even in Aries Rashi with Libra navamsha protects one from heart ailments, gives him longevity and helps him progress in his calling. The same Saturn with Aries sign position but in Virgo navamsha makes him wholly unreliable and makes him a victim of some sort of diseases of hands and legs. This difference could be easily located by an experienced astrologer. Same is the case with other divisions including navamsha.

Also, in this connection, it may also be worthwhile to quote from the June 1991 Grahavani journal (of Hyderabad, AP., India):

According to almost all ephemeris, Saturn had gone into retrogression and entered Dhanus (Sagittarius) and again reentered Makara (Capricorn) on 15 December 1990. But according to Vakya Panchanga (ephemeris) followed by Nadi astrologers in South India, Saturn entered Makara on 10 February 1991, that is, a difference of 55 days. Then what is the fate of the children born between 15 Dec 1990 to 10 Feb 1991, whether Saturn is to be placed in Dhanus or Makara. According to Vakya Panchanga, such a situation is common for Saturn whenever it retrogrades or entering the signs, there will be a difference of nearly 90 days, and for Jupiter 15 days and for fast moving planets Budha (Mercury), Sukra (Venus) for 1 to 3 days will be there. How to reconcile this position is for scholars in the science to decide. All Nadi literature was based on Vakya Panchanga and the predictions arrived on such calculations are 80% coming true. In view of the different Graha Gathis (planetary movements) even the horoscope charts prepared through computers are of no use.

ASTROVISION ISSUE # 5 MAY 2008 DASA SYSTEMS

Let us see the planetary Dasa systems (progressions) used by Hindu astrologers. The most popular and generally used system by many astrologers is the Vimshottari Dasa system of 120 years with Maha Dasa (main planet period), Antar-dasa (sub period), Pratyantar Dasa (sub sub period) and other minor periods called Vidasa and Sukshma/Prana Dasa. By adopting different ayanamshas, the balance of Maha Dasa at birth in Vimshottari system is likely to be different to a period of about 2 years when major periods of planets operate and all the subsequent periods will accordingly vary. Then obviously it would be very difficult to correlate particular life event during a particular Dasa period even considered upto the minutest level. Mostly, in addition, some planet or other in one of the major/minor periods is somehow gets connected to the particular event to be checked and the astrologer will satisfy himself for his prediction for the event in that Dasa and he will not bother to check that the same event can be predicted in some other Dasa also.

In this connection let me quote from the famous astrologer Dr. B. V. Raman from his editorial in December 1977 in the Astrological magazine:

From what I have said hitherto, you will notice that Nadi astrology gives an important place to the basic pattern of the horoscope revealed by Dwadasamsha (1/12 division) for a general outline and Nadi amsha (1/150 part) for a comprehensive survey. The details such as attainment of rank, position and status, success, occupation etc. are filled in by the planets and the various Yogas or typical combinations formed by them. In actual practice, these principles can be easily demonstrated by applying them to well known horoscopes. But that will only be a post-mortem study. After an event has happened, we can justify it in some way or the other, but it is in the prior application of these principles and prediction of events to happen in future that the real value of astrology lies.

In addition to Vimshottari Dasa system, as given by Daivagna Ratna Sri T. Ramakrishna in Grahavani journal of November 1988:

There are many other Nakshatra Dasa systems such as Shodashothar (116. years), Dwadasottari (112), Ashtottari (108), Panchottari (105), Satamana (100), Chaturasiti (84), Dwisapthati(72), Sashtidpani (60), Shatirimsati. (36) and other Dasa systems of Kalachakra Dasa, Chara Dasa, Sthira Dasa, Yogini Dasa (slightly varying from Shatirimsati Dasa stated earlier), Tanvadi Dasa, Panchaswara Dasa, Varnadi Dasa, Yogindra Dasa, Ashtakavarga Dasa (Pinda Amsha, Nisargika), Sandhya Dasa, Sandhya panchaka Dasa, Tara Dasa and Sudarshana chakra.

It is not known clearly when to use which Dasa.

In this connection, let me quote from the book Hindu Astrology by Shri Shil Ponde:

The normal span of life for all persons born in the Shukla Paksha, or between New Moon and Full Moon, should be 120 years. That of persons born in Krishna Paksha, between full Moon and new Moon, should be 108 years. It was not at all extraordinary for men and women in ancient civilization to live longer than this normal span, but the nervous tension and toxic poisons which are the concomitants of modern civilization have cut down the normal span of life considerably. Vimshottari Dasa system (120 Years) is to be used for all persons born between new Moon and full Moon and the Ashtottari Dasa system (108 years) is to be used for persons born between the full Moon and the new Moon, that is, during the waning period of the Moon.

In addition, Shri Shil Ponde also states that a slightly different Ayanamsha is to be used for the position of the Moon, only when dealing with planetary periods and for determining the true position of the Moon in the fixed zodiac and it is to be used instead of the regular Ayanamsha correction, not in addition to it. As a hypothetical case, he states that " instead of making the Krishna Paksha, between full Moon and new Moon, should be 108 years. It was not at all extraordinary for men and women in ancient civilization to live longer than this normal span, but the nervous tension and to ice poisons which are the concomitants of modern civilization have cut down the normal span of life considerably. Vimshottari Dasa system (120 Years) is to be used for all persons born between new Moon and full Moon and the Ashtottari Dasa system (108 years) is to be used for others. He gives 19-38 for year 1933 whereas Lahiri's gives 22-55, a difference of about 3 degrees. I may also state here that Sage

Satyacharya, father of Nadi Astrology, states that the Dasa system should be taken from the Moon or Lang whichever is stronger.

VARGA (DIVISIONAL) CHARTS

Let us see the Varga (divisional) charts. As per late Sri R. Santhanam, the Shatshiamsha chart is to be prepared at the rate of 1/2 degree per Rashi starting from the rash where Lagna or planet is situated in rashi chart. Whereas, in his book Jyotisha Siddhamthamu (out of print) in South Indian Telugu language, my Guru "Daivagna Ratna and Vidya Visarada late Sri Divakaruni Venkata Subba Rao (author of many valuable books in Telugu language) states that if Lagna or planet is in odd rashi in rashi chart, then count its position at the rate of 30 minutes per rashi from Mesha (Aries) clockwise and if in even rashi count from Mean (Pisces) anticlockwise. I personally feel that counting should be clockwise from the rashi where Lagna or planet is located if it is in odd rashi and anti clockwise from that rashi if it is in even rashi, since originally the names of Shatshiamshas are given clockwise for odd rashis and the same names repeat anti clockwise for even rashis. These versions will definitely give different Shatshiamsha charts. I am not sure whether Shatshiamsha charts can be prepared at all or just see them as good or bad as mentioned against each name of Shatshiamsha.

Late Sri R. Santhanam states in his book Deva Keralam that " the aspect as a rule should be seen in rashi chart only, not in navamsha and other charts, for aspects emanate only by longitudinal distances". In his book Jyotisha Siddhamthamu late Sri D. V. Subbarao states that " the lordships of bhavas and their position in Varga charts is not to be considered in Varga charts, the bhava lords and their position is to be judicially taken only from Bhava chart, in Varga charts the position of the Lagna lord of that Varga is important. " Whereas, in her article in June 1986 the Astrological magazine, Smt Gayatri Devi Vasudev states " the point is not to decry Parasari system has having limitations but to stress that reckoning aspects in navamsha too, and subjecting navamsha to an analysis similar to rashi seem to make matters clearer". She also quotes Dr. B. V. Raman regarding navamsha " it is the pivot on which the horoscope revolves, every combination mentioned should be applied to the rashi, bhava and navamsha charts and then a conclusion drawn".

I may mention here that nowhere it is published specifically how to use these various Varga charts and what would be the results for various permutations and combinations for different charts. For example, what would be the type of life pattern for Aries Lagna in rashi chart with the different nine lagnas in navamsha chart from Aries to Sagittarius, for Taurus Lagna in rashi chart with different nine navamsha lagnas from Capricorn to Virgo etc. and extending the same logic for various other permutations and combinations to the level of different Shatshiamshas each of 30' duration or still the minutest Nadi amsha division of 12' arc duration. Of course, there is some literature available giving what each 2 1/2 degree in each bhava (Dwadasamsha) represents and what would be the Karmic pattern of each Shatshiamsha, independently without linking to the rashi chart and other Varga charts and planetary positions. Some of the astrologers may be having ancient literature giving life patterns dealing with planetary positions along with permutations and combinations of various Varga charts upto the level of Nadi amshas, but they will not be publishing their secret treasure for the benefit of others and for the research in the subject.

SPECIAL LAGNAS/ASPECTS

There are also many special lagnas such as Ghatika Lagna, Vighatika Lagna, Bhava Lagna, Arudha Lagna, Atmakaraka Lagna, Upapada Lagna etc., aspects of planets from one rashi to another rashi (Jaimini system), and as per some Nadi rulings a retrograde planet aspects the previous house and planets aspect the trines from them etc.

NADI LITERATURE

In his 3 volumes of book Nadi Jyotisha-A stellar system of astrology published in 1954 (out of print), late Sri R. Gopalakrishna Rao (Meena) had given importance only to the constellation lords of the planets as Jeeva and Shareera planets and their Satwik (pure), Rajasik (restless) and Tamasik (dull/aggressive) gunas (qualities). Shri Ratanlal in his book Nadi system of prediction (stellar theory) published in 1983 and late Sri N. V. Raghavachary (Meena II) in his book Practical Stellar astrology (based on Nadi principles) published in 1995 Almost followed the original books by Sri R. Goplakrishna Rao. Even the Krishnamurthy Paddhathi is also an tension of what is stated by Sri R. Gopalakrishna Rao. Sri R. G. Rao of Bangalore. India in his

ASTROVISION ISSUE # 5 MAY 2008 book Bhrugu Nandi Nadi had given interpretation of Nadi principles on the basis of Karakatwas (signification) of planets only and Jupiter transits only ï 7 3 irrespective of Lagna. Late Sri R. Santhanam in his volumes of Deva Keralam (Chandra Kala Nadi) gave many useful rules of Nadi astrology.

The Astrological magazine of Bangalore, India has been publishing general life patterns for each Nadi amsha as per Dhruva Nadi and Nandi Nadi. All these available Nadi literature is still scanty only without giving any real clues.

BIRTH TIME RECTIFICATION

There are also many systems mentioned for birth time rectification. The minutest in these systems is as per Tatwa Siddhantha to match the male/female birth for moveable/fixed/dual Lagna, day and Moon Nakshatra (constellation), as given in the books Jyotisha Siddhamtamu (out of print) by late Sri D. V. Subbarao in Telugu language in 1970, The Nadi system of rectification by Mr. Marc Penfield in 1976, Rectification of birth time (an analytical approach) by Prof. P. S. Sastri in 1996 and in the article Rectification of birth time-Bhrugu Nadi by Sri M. V. Rao in March 1973 in the esteemed journal The Times of Astrology. In these also there are no similarities, but the Antar-tatwa Siddhantha adopted by late Sri D. V. Subbarao goes to the e tent of difference in birth time upto 12 seconds in time for male/female birth similar to the minutest Nadi amsha patterns. In this connection, I may mention that during my lectures in USA recently during April to July 1998 in American Federation of Astrologers and Arsha Vidya Gurukulam on their invitation, I happen to read in the World Almanac that for every 3 seconds 9 births and 6 deaths take place (it is for the scholars to visualize where from the other 3 births come from after 6 deaths), which amounts to 3 births for every second. In such a case, even the Nadi amsha of 12 seconds duration for each birth, which might have been visualized in ancient times when birth rate is very slow, does not hold good in these modern times. LONGEVITY

There are also many systems such as Pindayu, Amshayu, Jeevasarmayu, Ashtakavargayu etc. forcalculating the longevity, which may give different longevities.

TRANSITS

There are also many views on the transit system of planets from natal Moon, Lagna, planets in rashis, in Nakshatra, in navamsha, over natal planets, vedha etc. There are Varsha Phala(progressed chart) to erect the chart of progression based on Sun position every year same as at natal chart, Dinavarsha Paddhati of one degree is one year with subtle aspects just as western system applied on Sayana chart, Tajaka system etc.

OTHERS

There are also Ashtakavarga method, Rajayogas, planetary shadbalas (6 fold strength), bhava balas, Vimsopoka planetary strengths, Upagrahas (Gulika, Mandi etc.), eclipses etc. There are also many rules given by many sages and astrologers for an event to happen, which it is humanly impossible to remember all these rules and apply. Even the present Nadi astrologers who read from their ancient palm leaves mostly give predictions age wise only by whatever method they follow and those future predictions also seem to be not correctly coming true in most cases, though the past events seem to be mostly true. CONCLUSION

I might have missed some more points but in view of the above quoted points I wonder whether any astrologer can really predict any specific event on a particular time purely from astrological point of view, without any other intuition techniques or through any other secret literature such as Nadi Grantha available with him. I would like to quote here Dr. B. V. Raman in his letter to me on 4 December 1993 that

Astrology is a subject where not only an insight into its techniques is needed but also certain amount of intuition. Experience can gradually make appreciate the nuances of the predictive art. The literature available on Nadi astrology in the market could only be of academic interest. They do not give one an insight into the technique of the system. The late Mr.
