FAQ'S ON GENERAL ASTROLOGY - 2


According to astrology, when will a person lose or not get the ancestral property?

 The planets concerned with landed property are Mars, Mercury, Jupiter and Sun.

The 4th lord and the 4th house indicate the type of house the native will live in. It also represents the environment in which the house is located.

The 8th house represents Parental Property since it is the 5th from the 4th (Poorvapunya sthana from the 4th house) and also the 12th from the 9th (the property that was left by the native’s father/ancestors).

If there is a strong malefic in the 8th house with a strong benefic in the 4th the native will benefit from ancestral property.

The 8th if is posited with a yogakaraka planet then the native will get a huge share or the whole lot of the property.

If the 8th is posited with the ascendant lord with a strong friendly planet also then the native will benefit

if there is a natural benefic (like Jupiter or Moon) and it is not a yoga karaka planet with Rahu/Ketu with it, then the native will face a lot of difficulties and would require to fight a case to get the property or may not get it at all (depends on other factors too).

There are too many combinations for this query and I have illustrated a few of them.

 

How do I astrologically rectify my birth time?

 The best method for Birth time rectification is to correlate past events with the D1, D9, respective divisional charts, Planetary periods and transit.

There are other methods by using Tajaka Astrology (which originated in the Tajakisthan and has been documented by Neelakanta). Here for every year a chart is generated and the predictions are correlated. This is also known as the Varshaphala technique.

This is a more accurate method.

Once a chart is rectified by the first method should be tested by the second method to be sure of the results.

 

What is the position of the planets of a drunkard in astrology?

 Moon signifies alcohol and if it is malefically associated or placed in trik sthanas (6th , 8th or the 12th ) then there is a chance that the native would have tendencies towards alcohol.

In the above situation if the ascendant lord is weak and the ascendant is aspected by a malefic then the person can become a drunkard.

Every chart has to be meticulously analysed to understand the formation and cancellation of yogas to determine whether the native has a strong character or not.

Many people have drinking habits, but not all of them are called drunkards. I am referring the word ‘drunkards’ to those people who lose their control after consuming alcohol (or they drink so much that they ultimately lose control).

Rahu is one of the main malefics which is involved in this combination with Moon. Other planets like the weak Mercury, afflicted Mars and so on also will influence the planetary combinations.

 

How will a person become mad according to astrology?

 Buddhi Jada Yoga (The yoga in which a man loses his strength to use his intelligence) defines as to the positions of planets which will make a man a dunce.

If the Ascendant lord conjoins evil planets.

Saturn occupies the 5th (the house of creativity and imagination)

Ascendant lord is aspected by or conjoins Saturn.

Mathi Bramana yoga (The yoga in which a person will go blank or will be day dreaming)

Ascendant lord is weak and is aspected by evil planets like Rahu/Ketu etc.

Ascendant is associated or aspected by Saturn

Mercury is weak and is malefically disposed

Buddhi Manda Roga Yoga (The combination of retardedness or very low in intellect)

There are many combinations which lead to slowness or retardedness, a few are as follows: -

The Ascendant lord is placed in the 6th (the house of illness) or with the 6th lord and with Saturn placed in the Ascendant.

The combination of Mercury (Buddhi - Intellect), Manda (Saturn) and Roga (6th house or 6th lord)

Moon in the 6th house with Rahu and the ascendant is weak with Saturn posited in it.

It should be verified in the respective divisional charts too to confirm the above results.

When Mars is associated with the above combinations then the native will be aggressive in behaviour.


As per Vedic astrology, which planetary transits make one’s life stagnant, stuck, trapped and have no hope?

 When Saturn and Ketu both transit the same sign and it being the 7th, 8th or the 12th from the Ascendant or Moon then the native will go through unwanted and unnecessary troubles. The native will feel stuck or trapped in problems.

 Tough time it will be and the native needs support and counselling from his near ones.


The 12th Bhava in my horoscope is the strongest in Shadbala. Is it bad?

 The 12th bhava represents foreign settlement, losses, hospitalization, learning foreign language, sensuality, pleasure, etc.

When the 12th bhava is strong, i.e with a strong bhava bala (not shadbala - which is for planets), then the native will enjoy all the necessary luxuries and will acquire materials of status and luxury.

 If the 2nd lord is well placed, then the native does well in a foreign country.


Do you use a specific school of astrology?

 Yes, every astrologer has his expertise in a particular method of Astrology.

Firstly, there are two major divisions The Sayana system (Movable Zodiac system) which is followed by the Westerners and The Nirayana system (Fixed Zodiac system) which is followed by the Vedic Hindus in India.

I follow the Nirayana system of astrology in which the line of normal from the center of Earth to the tangent (at the equator) is aligned to Zero degree Aries using the Sidereal system. Here in this system we rectify the calculation by correcting the Ayanamsa error which is about 50 1/3 seconds every year due to the wobbling of Earth.

I use mainly the method elucidated in the classic astrological text of Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra (BPHS - by Parashara) and then to support it I use the techniques listed in the Tajaka by Neelakanta Jyotishi (A system which was used in the regions of Tajakisthan - Tejas Sthan).

Tejas means fast moving and hence is the name of horses which are one of the fastest in the world and hence the name of a nation Tajes-sthan or Tajakisthan.

This system of Tajaka will give us the details of timing and intensity of an event and complements the classic BPHS.


Sheer intuition is bestowed by which planet in Vedic astrology?

 Mercury signifies Intellect, Sun signifies Consciousness, Jupiter signifies Wisdom but Ketu signifies higher thinking and intuition.

Now, when Ketu is well placed with all the other three planets well placed from the ascendant, then the native will be bestowed with the power of Intuition.

A sudden thought or answer to a query comes to the mind when the person concerned is active and has a clear thought process. A meditative person will be continuously thinking and pondering into issues which concern the mind.

 With an active and well placed Ketu will make a person seek answers. We call these minds as researchers or scientists.


Is there any yoga in astrology which shows separation from relatives? What is the effect of this yoga on family?

 The 2nd house indicates family (Kutumb) and the 3rd from the 2nd that is the 4th house indicates activity with the family members.

Now when the 2nd is badly placed then the native will not have a good or big family.

But, if the 2nd is well placed or normally placed and the 4th house is malefically placed and weak then there will be differences with close family members.

The 3rd house is the 12th from the 4th and hence signifies separation or distance from close family members. If the 3rd lord is malefically strong and the 4th is weak then there is a possibility of distancing from one’s family due to woes.

 But, if the 3rd is beneficially placed and strong, the 4th is also well placed then there might be distance between the native and his/her family due to abroad settlement or job, but there will be good relationship and ties between the native and the family members.


What results does the Sun give if placed in Shatabhisha Nakshatra and present in the fourth house of the birth chart?

 For Scorpio ascendant the sign Aquarius becomes the 4th house and contains the Nakshatra (constellation) Shatabisha which is ruled by Rahu.

Sun being the lord Leo (which is the 7th house from the sign of Aquarius) is said to become weak when placed in the sign of Aquarius (which is ruled by Saturn).

In this case it is placed in the constellation ruled by Rahu. This position is not good and might give health problems and problems in job for the native (since Sun is also the 10th lord).


What effect was mercury combust retrograde and debilitated in the 8th house?

 For a Leo ascendant Mercury is the 2nd and the 11th lord and is a partial benefic.

Mercury is placed in the 8th house (sign of Pisces) and is combust due to its closeness to Sun and is also retrograde (is in between Sun and Earth in the solar system).

The exact degree of Mercury is important factor to decide the intensity of combustion.

But, if we assume that Mercury is at least 2 degrees away from Sun, then due to being retrograde it will gain a lot of strength and will shine brightly.

Being a malefic in the 8th (since it is also the 11th lord) it may cause hurdles and confusion in completion of education and also in career.

 It is difficult to suggest any remedy without the horoscope details.


Which zodiac signs give the best advice?

 Every Zodiac Sign has its own expertise. Being an expert in a particular subject makes a person eligible for advice.

Let’s take each sign one by one and see what areas these natives can become / are expert in (naturally), keeping aside the influences of planets due to their placements.

Aries (lord of the sign is Mars) - Martial Arts expert, Officer in Army, Sports (Outdoor mainly), Surgeons, etc.

Taurus (lord of the sign Venus) - Businessmen, Traders, Agriculturists, Floriculturists, Artists, Actors, Models, Designers, Body Builders, etc.

Gemini (lord of the sign Mercury) - Businessmen, Engineers, Mathematicians, Indoor Games, Computer Science Engineer, Law makers, News Anchors, Language Specialists, etc.

Cancer (lord of the sign Moon) - Swimmers, Painters, Chemical Engineers, Commercial Bankers, Teachers, Preachers, Dentists, etc.

Leo (lord of the sign Sun) - Physicians, Cardiac, Ortho and Gynaecology Surgeons, Ayurveda Doctors, Vedic Practitioners (Scriptures generally), Jewellers, Engineers in Core subjects, Officer in Govt. Service, etc.

Virgo (lord of the sign Mercury) - Chartered Accountants, Bankers, Dramatists, Writers, Professors, Journalists, Editors, etc.

Libra (lord of the sign Venus) - Share market and Online Traders, Investment Bankers, Film Producers, Entrepreneurs, Marketing Executives, etc.

Scorpio (lord of sign Mars) - Police Officers, Detectives, Spies, Electrical Engineers, Politicians, Automobile Engineers, Head of Research and Development of Products, etc.

Sagittarius (lord of sign Jupiter) - Professors, Human Resource Managers, Mentors, Neuro Surgeons, Magistrates and Judges, etc.

Capricorn (lord of sign Saturn) - Social Workers, Soldiers, Masons, Historians, Geologists, Book Keepers and Accountants, Industrialists, Hostel Wardens, Hoteliers, etc.

Aquarius (lord of sign Saturn) - Psychologists, Child care experts, Paediatricians, Quality Mangers, Operations Expert, Welfare managers, Legal Expert, Urologists, etc.

Pisces (lord of sign Jupiter) - Accountants, Builders, Real-estate Businessmen, Bankers, Preachers, Teachers, Swimmers, Counsellors, etc.

 

When should you see a transit from Lagna, when from the moon and when from Jupiter?

 

This is one of the most important queries in the subject of Planetary Transit.

Firstly, we all know that a thought provokes an action and an action makes history. How does a new thought arise in one’s mind? When does a person think of doing something? Which planet activates his mind? It is the Moon.

To know the events that are thought provoked we need to see the transit from Moon.

Secondly, all those material manifestations, physical manifestations that happen in our life (where our thought process has nothing to do with) has to be judged by the position of the ascendant and the ascendant lord.

For example, if a person has to attend a function, it is his prerogative to attend it or not, but after he decides to attend it, he has very little to do with the seating provided, ambience around him, the music, the people invited to the function, the food, etc. All these are physical manifestations which one has no part to decide prior but have to go through the experience.

Another example is that One decides to attend a function (a positive thought of the mind) but on the way his car meets with an accident (a physical hindrance) and he is not able to make it to the function. Now was it his thought was weak or the physical hurdle in the nature of an accident was a stronger force to stop him proceed?

Hence to understand the material acquisitions, physical surroundings and comfort, events like accidents, unforeseen events, operations, etc., have to be analysed by analyzing the transit of planets from the ascendant and not from the Moon.

For Marriage and Conjugal happiness (to fix up a muhurtha - auspicious timing) we need to calculate the transit from Venus

For Higher studies and Business prospects we need to see it from Jupiter

For Mothers health we need to see it from Moon

For Fathers health and the native’s confidence (since Sun represents psyche - Soul) we need to see it from the Sun.

Analysis of mutual positions of planets is very important in knowing how events will turnout.

Hope this article will have triggered a new way of looking into the chart for Students of Astrology.

 

Can an astrology chart reveal the religion of a person?

If you analyse the D1 (Rasi Kundali), D9 (Navamsa Kundali) and the D24 (Siddhamsha or Chaturvimshamsa Kundali) one can understand the type of person the native is.

The planets which are guiding him in forming his character will suggest as to what his belief system would be like.

Belief systems are nothing but isms in a brief sense. Lets not go till the facts of finding out the religion a native is pertaining to. Since many people do not follow in practice the religion they are born into.

Then what is a religion if you do not follow it.

The real religion is the one the person is following in his way of life. This can be surely deduced from the horoscope of a person.

As to whether the person respects Honesty, respects rights of Women, Listens to others, Ethical, Compassionate, etc.

So, if you are an ardent follower of a religion, it should be reflecting in the way you think and your practices and hence in the chart too.

 

How do you read a Kundali chart?

 

This depends on the methods an astrologer uses to decipher the chart.

I use primarily one technique called as the Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra (BPHS) and for further indepth analysis and timing of events use the techniques elucidated in the texts of Tajik Neelakanta.

While using the BPHS the method includes Significations, Signs, Combination of Planets (Yogas), Timing and intensity of an event through Dasha periods (Planetary Periods) and then estimation of Doshas (malefic combinations which cancel other good combinations and become hurdles) and their effects.

Tajik rules are applied to understand the speed, movement and degrees of planets and their mutual involvement with each other in making an event happen. The yogas briefly used are Ithasala yoga, Israfa Yoga, Kamboola Yoga, Gairi Kamboola Yoga, Muntha placements, etc.

After both the techniques are done with and for further confirmation I go through the transits of planets and their avasthas (status), this further modifies and fine tunes the timing of an event.

Here the technique is by overlapping the present transit over the Ashtakavarga (Rekhas and Bindus) to determine the favourable and non-favourable periods for a given native.

 

Which is the world's most dangerous horoscope?

 

A horoscope in which a person lacks humanity, mutual respect, love towards this creation and is a sadist is considered as the most dangerous.

Students of astrology have to go through the charts which have the following combinations: -

1.  A malefically afflicted ascendant and ascendant lord.

2.  A strong malefically afflicted Moon

3.  A strong malefically afflicted Sun

4.  Rahu placed in the trines or quadrants

5.  The planet of Wisdom Jupiter being retrograde and malefically afflicted.

6.  The 8th house being crowded by planets or the 8th lord is strongly posited along with malefics.

The more the points seen in a chart the more the dangerous the person is for humanity and this world.

 

Why is astrology commercialized while still in villages it’s done as a service?

 

In villages the life style is limited and the demands of a family is also less. The questioner also does not expect the astrologer to go in depth and give a detailed reading. The questions are not complicated as it is compared to the urban population. Hence the astrologer is ready to accept whatever the client has to offer.

I just want to ask this to everyone on this forum.

If you want an in depth analysis of a chart and would want the astrologer to give the correct guidance for your future what is wrong in paying the astrologer his professional fee? Since everyone knows that the astrologer will spend his time for doing all the calculations required to give his prediction.

If the astrologer charges you exorbitantly then the debate is valid, but if the astrologer is earning his daily bread through his profession then what is wrong.

You do not mean to suggest that all astrologers should be living a meagre life style, send their children to the cheapest of schools, do not own any property or have any dreams for their children, do not take their family out for picnics and live only hand to mouth, do you?

I live in our farm house in a village and I do give free advises to all those villagers who visit me for astrological guidance. But, how should I run my family for nothing comes free?

Please explain.

 

What is the solution for Pitru Dosha in Kundli?

 

Charity and Service to the old and the needy is the only and the best solution for cooling down Pitru Dosha (PD).

PD is wrongly understood by many and hence the fear and hype created in the general public.

These people who are already in fear are gullible to get cheated by faulty astrologers and pundits who force them to perform Narayana Bali and many more rituals and swindle money.

Only by performing these rituals PD cannot be solved.

Let’s for instance discuss a chart with Pitru Dosha.

Sun is malefically influenced, the 9th is malefically posited, the 9th lord is weak and so on.

In this case the native will be suffering from low confidence and fear due the weak Sun. Confidence building and psychological counselling will help, not a ritual.

When the 9th house or the 9th lord is weak, it is clear indicator that the native will not have good relationship with his/her father and hence again situation has to be dealt with different approach and not just perform a ritual.

There might be medical problems which are troubling the native’s father which has to be diagnosed and set right.

 

I have taken a very basic example, but hope I have conveyed my opinion on dealing with Pitru Dosha.

 

In astrology, why do people consider only Jupiter, Saturn, Raghu, and Kethu? Are other planets not so important?

 

Let’s begin with an example.

Like a fruit takes a lot of time to happen from a flower, an event takes time to build up and then fructify. These slow and stable events roll due to the effect of slow moving planets.

Some events like suddenly deciding to watch a movie in a theater with your friend would have got triggered by a fast moving planet.

Accidents happen due to the conflict of friction between slow and fast moving planets.

The slow moving planets (generally the average speed is taken) are Saturn, Jupiter, Rahu and Ketu.

The Fast moving are Mars, Sun, Venus, Mercury and Moon.

The slow moving planets when trigger an event, the result will be stable and long standing. The event being good or bad for the native again depends on the planet involved.

So the slow moving planets are the ones you have mentioned in the query and hence the importance given to them in the field of predictions.

 

What effects can be expected when six planets appear in one rasi, as in the case of 26 Dec 2019?

 

This piling up of planets in a single sign is called as Graha Koota. This has happened many times and you often see them in charts.

Have to individually deal with each planet. The distance between each planet mutually and its effect with the influencing planet to be understood.

Combustion of planets have to be checked.

The the yogas formed and whether cancelled have to be verified.

Only after that prediction has to be done.

For example, on 28.03.1980 5 planets, Saturn, Jupiter, Moon, Mars and Rahu were placed in Leo with Ketu and Mercury in Aquarius (in the opposite sign).

7 planets in one line (but within a 30-degree arc which is huge).

In this case Saturn, Jupiter and Mars were all retrograde.

There are many instances of Graha koota, but all of them have their uniqueness and have to be dealt with individually.

Let’s discuss the query in detail.

On 26.12.2019 at 10.42am IST, Sun and Moon both will be in the same degrees i.e 9 deg 58 mins and 58/55 secs, along with Saturn at 26 deg 35 mins, Jupiter at 11 deg 12 mins, Mercury at 1 deg 13 mins and Ketu at 14 deg 25 mins.

Both Sun and Moon are 5 degrees from Ketu but still have mutual influence over each other.

Saturn is at 26 degrees and the nearest planet is Ketu at 14 degrees which is 12 degrees away from it, there is no mutual influence of either planet over the other.

Jupiter is at 11 degrees and is very close to both Sun and Moon. Jupiter can be considered combust due to this closeness to Sun (within 2 degrees).

Mercury is at 1 degree and is very far from this confluence of planets.

Ketu is very close to Jupiter and has full influence over it.

The main concern should be to the combination of Jupiter, Sun, Moon and Ketu.

Here Jupiter being in its own house has taken all the burnt. It is most malefically afflicted and weak planet though it has gained a shadbala of 1.05 rupas.

The financial situation in the country will be affected further. Political uncertainty and turmoil will continue till the first week of January.

Though this is just a temporary phase in some places the impact may be permanent in nature. There is a chance of natural calamities like earth quake or fire mishap.

This is a cosmic effect and no human energy can combat, let’s all pray and stay calm.

 

Why do people of astrology worry when they hear Mercury is retrograde?

 

There is nothing to worry.

The major signification of Mercury is that it rules the Kaliyuga. Since it represents the intelligence required to survive in this present world. Most of this intelligence is wasted in planning, manipulation and avoiding conflicts.

Mercury when becomes retro will make the native straight forward, sometimes rude when irritated, does not believe until proved, inquisitive, bold and will react rather than respond.

People generally do not like truth spoken back to them on their face and hence they might fear the fact when Mercury becomes retrograde.

 

What combination of planets indicate a rich spouse and in laws?

 

A spouse of a native is seen from the 7th house. Considering the 7th as the ascendant the 2nd from it (i.e the 8th house), the 9th from it (i.e. the 3rd house) and the 11th from it (i.e. the 5th house) should be strong and well placed.

The lords of these houses should have mutual aspect or conjunction with the ascendant lord.

The best combination would be when the 3rd lord is posited in the 5th and the 5th lord gets posited in the 8th house from the ascendant.

The 11th house of the native’s chart is also important since it is the 5th from the 7th house.

 

How do you predict moksha after death in Vedic astrology?

 

I get to answer this query once in many years and hence the lack of practice.

I agree that there are many tenets elucidated in the classics which mention the positions of Ketu and other planets which make a person achieve the path of Moksha.

The 10th lord and the 10th house plays a very important role in this as the 10th represents the Karma sthana (house of actions/deeds).

Also out of the 4 quadrants the 10th represents the Moksha.

It is said in the Karma theory that when a person finishes all his Karma (or let’s say that he has exhausted all his Karma) then he has to leave this abode to the next Janma or towards Moksha (Salvation).

If there is complete realization (seen from the 12th house, Ascendant, 8th house, 10th house and the 11th and the trines - 5th and the 9th)

of one’s self by losing one’s own identity and merge into the super consciousness of this creation (12th from lagna),

have the determination to pursue to stabilize a trance like situation (ascendant itself),

renunciation of the Maya (bondage) - (seen from the 8th),

being and adept ascetic (seen from the 11th),

moving forward from the previous Janma (birth) - (seen from the 5th)

into the realms of the next birth without any attachments (seen from the 9th)

one can merge completely one’s Body, Mind and Soul into the Supra Conscious and realize as you are non-other than the creation itself.

Here the duality collapses.

 

How do I see spiritual progress in a horoscope? What houses should I consider?

The ascendant is the source of everything and hence you should start from the ascendant, ascendant lord and its associations.

Then understand the innate cravings (Vasana) of the chart by analysing the 8th house/the 8th lord and its conjunctions and aspects.

The 5th, the 9th and the 12th houses and lords represent your journey towards higher spiritual knowledge.

The D9 chart, the D20 and the D24 are to be verified to understand the path in which you can proceed towards achieving spirituality.

The stronger the upachayas (3rd, 6th, 10th and the 11th) the stronger the urge for spiritual path.

The stronger the Trines (1st, 5th and the 9th) the stronger the motivation to research, to know and then proceed.

The stronger the 4 quadrants (1st, 4th, 7th and the 10th) the stronger the urge to acquire property, materials, fame and status.

The D24 chart will show the planets which will favour your path towards spirituality.

 

How come anybody predicts the future by astrology when they say that a man makes his own future? Isn't it a contradiction?

 

Yes it is a contradiction to those people who have to confidence to live their life the way they want to live it.

In most cases Astrology is not required and predictions are not a must.

Its the anxiety of a person which leads him to ponder into the realms of astrology and since he does not know how to decipher a chart, he goes to an astrologer.

In fact a person needs to go to an astrologer not for predictions, but to know the real karma he is born with into this janma and as to how to perform his duties in a righteous manner so that he will not accumulate further karma.

Astrology should be used for self-realization, god realization, realization of this creation and then salvation.

 

Everything else is just to satisfy the curiosity of a human being.

 

What is Ardh Kal Sarp Dosha? Is it as potent as Kal Sarp Dosh?

 

This word Kala Sarpa Dosha has gained too much importance in the circles of predictive astrology in the recent days only.

In olden days this yoga was not defined and had no relevance.

Now there are definitions of many different types of KSY (Kala Sarpa Yoga). As you have mentioned in your query, a new yoga which is the sub set of KSY is born and is called as Ardh Kal Sarpa dosha.

Firstly, I would want astrologers who believe in Ardha Kala sarpa yoga to give classical references of this yoga so that it will help solve the doubts.

For the while, there is nothing called as AKSY and hence there is nothing to worry.

 

Why not build a toilet under the stairs as said in Vastu Shastra?

 

Now-a-days when space is a constraint and adjusting all the amenities into a given small plot is such a difficult task, people sticking to the vastu rules looks ridiculous.

If there is a provision to construct a toilet elsewhere then it is recommended, but if there is a paucity of space, then under the staircase would be the best choice to manage space.

The direction and the ventilation of the position of the toilet has to be anyway planned.

 

What if your sun line is crossed by multiple sun lines?

 

Sun line cannot be crossed by multiple Sun lines when they are parallel (Since multiple Sun lines are parallel to each other).

These lines which cross the Sun line are known as the disrupting lines or hurdles.

The native with these lines has to follow a strict routine and disciplined life to avoid social conflicts.

 

In astrology, the 5th house is related to the first child, and the 7th house is related to the 2nd child, and so on. Does this rule also consider miscarriage too or only children who are alive?

 

This is a very good query. Yes, miscarriages are also counted.

For instance, if the 7th house is for the first marriage and the 9th for the second one, then would a relationship which did not end up in a marriage also be counted. The answer is yes. If the relationship was intimate then yes, it has to be counted.

 

What does the 10th house indicate about life in Vedic astrology?

10th house (bhava) is also known as Karma sthana (house of actions). All deeds we perform starting from the most insignificant action now-a-days our breathing (which should have been the most significant one) to the most important events are shown from the 10th house.

How we react/respond to situations and what we go through every minute is indicated from the 10th house.

It is the 4th quadrant. The 1st house is known as the Dharma (Righteousness), The 4th house is known as the Artha (Transactions), The 7th house is known as the Kama (Desires) and the 10th known as the Moksha (Salvation through Actions).

All the 4th quadrants are important and we need to analyse from a chart as to whether all are in balance.


As per vedic astrology, why do some create fear about the 5-Planet alignment happening at the end of Dec 2019, why cannot this be for good of everyone?

 5 planetary placements happen in the sign of Sagittarius for a period between 26th Dec and 13th Jan. The planets involved are Saturn, Ketu, Jupiter, Mercury, Sun and on 26th and 27th Moon also will be involved (so for two days there would be 6 planets in one sign).

It would be a grave mistake by any astrologer to inflict fear into a person. There is nothing to fear as not all planets will be close by or be in conflict.

This combination of planets have different lordships and play a particular role when posited in the sign of Sagittarius. The results will certainly vary due to the houses they are from different ascendants.

If it is the 8th from Taurus, it would be the 12th from Capricorn and it would be the 6th from Cancer. People born in these ascendants have to be cautious for this small period of time. Do not take sudden decisions, key decisions, travel and be cautious when partying (this since it is New Year Eve).

Even for other signs such as Gemini, the ascendant lord Mercury is involved in the 7th and with so many planets in the 7th, it would be important that they do not get into argument with their spouse or an intimate friend.

The time would be good for the sign of Libra for the 3rd house is filled and the ascendant lord Venus would have moved to the 4th house (Capricorn) and Mars is placed in its own house Scorpio.

Likewise, the results vary for each ascendant.

After all this, it would important to verify the promise which is projected in each chart individually and only then decide.

Why are astrologers so active in YouTube at present?

A free platform like YouTube can be used to deliver a message, impart knowledge and also spread your presence globally.

Everyone, from Hairstylists, Specialists in Recipes, Doctors, Engineers, Scientists, Educationists, Artists, etc. are all using free platforms to showcase their talent and skill.

Astrology is a science with immense base of knowledge and likewise needs to be spread, so that the general public will understand its importance and real applicability.

 


FAQ'S ON GEMSTONES


Can we wear two gemstones to an index finger?

 As per the texts written on Gemstones, you can wear Hessonite, Yellow sapphire or Moonstone on the index finger.

Now depending on the placements of Rahu, Jupiter and Moon which are the lords of the stones said above (in sequential order), the astrologer will advise the concerned to wear two stones in the same finger in the same ring too.

 What are the benefits of wearing a gold ring on a finger according to astrology?

 On the ring finger a simple gold ring will apply pressure which is said to be good due to the connection between the ring finger and the heart.

Gold is a noble metal and is said to slowly mix with your food and gets ingested (this has to be verified) and is said to be good.

Other than that, Gold is just another metal for jewellery purpose and monetary purpose.

To have a ring and wear it will give some confidence that you can en cash it anytime and anywhere. It will help the one who has got pick pocketed in a strange place. One can reach back home with the money he gets from selling the gold ring.

 Can we wear a ring for the Lord that is already strong in Kundli?

 Yes, you can wear a ring for the planet who is already strong in the chart, but you need to first understand as to whether the planet is supportive and favorable to you.

Next you need to see whether you are going through any adverse dasha period. There should not be conflict of dasha lord with that of the planet whose gem stone you are intending to wear.

 Can anyone wear a gemstone of combust Venus in the 8th house in Capricorn Lagna?

 When one is trying to make a debilitated, combust planet strong, one should show utmost caution.

Never think that by wearing a gemstone of a weak planet, that the planet will become positively strong. This might also turn negative.

Though Venus is a partial yogakaraka (benefic) for the ascendant of Gemini it would be best not to wear a Diamond (or any other gem stone specified for Venus) when it is placed in the 8th house from ascendant.

The 8th house represents carnal cravings and desires beyond one’s reach. Enhancing this factor will only burden the native with stress, tension and dissatisfaction.

The trik sthanas (the 6th/8th and the 12th) are sensitive and are not to be taken lightly.

 What is the difference between a cat’s eye gemstone and a tiger’s eye gemstone?

 Whoever has a strong placement of Ketu and is going through the maha dasha of Ketu can wear a Catseye on his index finger of his right hand.

 How is Venus in the 6th house of Taurus? Does wearing a diamond enhance its benefic results? If so, what are these benefics?

 Venus in the 6th is not considered benefic, though it is a yogakaraka planet (the most benefic planet).

Do not wear a diamond to enhance it (when it is in the 6th house), it may increase your chances of falling ill (with the significations of Venus).

FAQ'S ON COMBINATION OF PLANETS - 1


How would you describe a person with Virgo Sun, Pisces Moon and Leo Rising/Ascendant?

 

Sun in Virgo makes a person very strict and decent. Sun being the ascendant lord is placed in the 2nd from its own sign Leo.

It is good for a planet to move one sign ahead of its own sign. It shows growth in wealth, family and prosperity.

Moon which is the 12th lord shows travel, expenses, illness and so on. It is placed in the 8th sign Pisces. Here Moon is comfortable, but since it is placed in the house of desire and again illness, the native should be aware of his health and try to keep fit. There are chances of him suffering from diseases related to water (kapha/phlegm).

Moon is strong since it is about 180 degrees from Sun (opposite to Sun) and is close to a full Moon.

The native is mentally strong person. Other planetary placements have to be checked to understand the chart better.


What happens if the 9th and 10th Lord in the 8th house with Mars and the ascendant is in the 11th house with Rahu for Taurus Lagna?

 

The 9th and the 10th lord for Taurus ascendant is Saturn and its position in the 8th (in the sign of Sagittarius) is good.

The actual issue is with the Ascendant lord Venus being conjunct Rahu in the 11th house.

For Taurus ascendant Venus is both the ascendant and the 6th lord. The 11th house is the 6th from the 6th and hence controls the 6th house.

The 6th house represents Competitiveness, Sharing Capability, Compassion, Service, etc. as positive significations, but the negative are factors like Enemies, Diseases, Loans, etc.

Here in this case both get enhanced due to the conjunction of Venus along with Rahu.

Hence the native has to be cautious with regard to his health and hence his eating habits should be under control.

Other than that, the position of Saturn should be a matter of concern.

 

What is the impact of the Mars-Saturn conjunction in Libra for Capricorn Lagna?

 

Saturn is the ascendant lord and its placement in the sign of exaltation is excellent. Here the transformation is due to its conjunction with Mars the 4th and the 11th lord.

Mars definitely spoils the positivity of Saturn due to its contrasting significations (characteristics).

The distance between them is to be verified since it is crucial to know as to whether Saturn is in a safe distance from Mars. If in a safe distance the strength of Saturn will prevail and the native can get good results in its major and minor periods.

 

What is the effect of Rahu placed in 5th house, Saturn in 3rd house and Jupiter in 8th house with Mars for Libra ascendant people in the perspective of progeny and childbirth?

 

Born around the month of April 1989, you have a very strong chart.

The 5th lord Saturn being placed in the 3rd house (i.e the 11th from the 5th) clearly suggests that you will have a child after mid-2020 and 2021.

The placement shows delay but no denial.

With minor medical intervention you should have a normal pregnancy.

 

What are the effects when Venus is at 0 degrees, Mars at 2 degrees, and Saturn at 17 degrees in the 10th House of Aries Ascendant?

 

Since there are three planets with varied degrees ranging from 0 degrees and 17 degrees, the actual placement of these planets are to be seen in the bhava kundali (equal house method).

To know this, we need to know the degree of the ascendant too.

There is no surety as to whether all the three are in the 10th from the ascendant.

If ascendant is at 0 degrees in Aries, then Venus and Mars will remain in the 10th and Saturn will move on to the 11th. Here the Sasa yoga which seems to be there in the Rasi kundali will get cancelled (modified) in the Bhava yoga since Saturn is no longer in the Quadrant from ascendant and moves to the 11th house.

If the ascendant is at 20 degrees of Aries, then both Mars and Venus will move backwards to the 9th house and Saturn will alone be in the 10th. Saturn in the 10th (Capricorn) will give rise to Sasa yoga and hence will give excellent professional stability in the future.

 

I hope you understand the importance of the longitudinal difference between the ascendant point and the planets to understand their real effects and relevance.


Rahu, Venus, Jupiter, and Mercury conjunction in the 1st house with a Libra ascendant. What happened with this conjunction?

 

When there are two or more planets in the same house (sign) then the longitudes of each of them is to be known to understand their influence on each other.

Here in this case Rahu is placed in the same sign as Venus, Jupiter and Mercury.

Now we need to know as to whether Rahu has influenced the other three planets or has influenced only a particular planet.

Without which it would be impossible to predict anything.

Also the longitude of ascendant is to be furnished.

The best would be to furnish the details of birth so that we can generate the chart ourselves.

 

 

What are the effects of Rahu Moon close conjunction in Hasta Nakshatra pada 1 in 10th house of Sagittarius ascendant?

 

Moon which represents the Mind is influenced by the malefic Rahu which signifies impurity or impure thinking (only in certain cases does Rahu give positive results).

This placement in the 10th house, i.e in the sign of Virgo is not considered good, since Moon is the 8th lord and is placed in the 10th house, the house of profession.

The 8th lord is considered the lord of hurdles or dissatisfaction and being placed in the 10th house may cause dissatisfied professional life.

The best way to get through this combination would be to practice meditation and be calm.

 

The attitude of the native is very important to continue in a profession successfully.


What are the effects of a conjunction of Sun, Saturn, Mars, and Mercury in the 6th house for a Virgo ascendant and Jupiter being Vargottama in the 7th house?

 

For a Virgo ascendant the placement of Saturn in the 6th house (own sign) which is Aquarius gives good results.

The conjunction of Sun and Mars in the same sign is of concern.

Sun is the 12th lord and is considered a prime malefic for this ascendant.

The distance of Sun from that of Saturn is very important for analysis and prediction. This information has not been provided and hence the predictions will be general in nature.

 

The degree of the ascendant is also important for accurate placement of planets in houses.


What is the effect of Surya Budh and Guru in the 10th house?

 

Surya, Budha and Guru (Sun, Mercury and Jupiter) are placed in the 10th house. Lets say the distance between Sun and the other two planets are not such as to combust them.

Then this placement gives rise to excellent raja yogas. Sun and Mercury gives rise to Budhaaditya yoga which in the 10th is in itself a Raja yoga.

 

The fact that the ascendant lord is in well placed from the combination and that the planets concerned are benefics is important for positive results.


What are the effects of the Rahu and Moon conjunction in the 1st house for a Leo ascendant?

 

Rahu signifies motivation towards materialistic achievements and Moon signifies mental balance.

For Leo ascendant Moon is the 12th lord and Rahu is considered a malefic.

But, this combination of Moon and Rahu will give positive results in foreign land, with foreign people or with foreign goods, provided the ascendant lord is well placed.

 

Else, this combination may also give depressive tendencies which are detrimental to the the progress of the native.

 

What are the effects of having a Jupiter Saturn conjunction in the 2nd house for a Sagittarius ascendant?

  

For Sagittarius ascendant Jupiter is the ascendant lord and its placement in the 2nd house (Capricorn) gives excellent results but after some delay due to the debilitation of Jupiter.

In this case Jupiter is associated with (Conjunct) Saturn (which is also the 2nd lord). The ascendant lord and 2nd lord in the 2nd house will give rise to a strong dhana yoga (combination for wealth).

All this when Saturn and Jupiter are both not retrograde and are in a safe distance from each other (that is not to get involved in a war - Graha yuddha).

 

Does a woman born in Capricorn ascendant having Saturn and Venus in her twelfth house settle in a foreign country in her old age?

 

 It depends on the planetary period and transits.

Venus and Saturn in the 12th (in the sign of Sagittarius) is not a very good placement, though Saturn and Venus together is a good thing to happen.

Venus in the 12th house might give foreign travel in both young and old age.

The placement of Saturn is crucial. If it is not malefically aspected then yes the native can settle abroad in old age (provided a favourable dasha period is in operation).

 

What is the result of the Sun Mercury conjunction in the 8th house of a Scorpio ascendant?

 

For a Scorpio ascendant Sun is the 10th lord and Mercury is the 8th and the 11th lord. The combination of Sun and Mercury in the 8th house (in the sign of Gemini) gives rise to a strong Vipreeta Raja yoga.

 

Sun in the 8th will not give rise to dosha, but still this indicates difficulties in health to the natives father.

 

What will be the challenges faced if the 10th lord is Venus sitting in 6th house along with Ketu?

 

When the 10th lord is posited in the 6th house (from ascendant), it has moved 9 houses from the 10th (6th house is the 9th from the 10th).

This is a very good placement for the 10th house and hence the 6th house is seen to understand Service and Competitiveness.

In this case Venus the 10th lord is posited along with Ketu in the 6th house. The combination of Venus and Ketu may create hurdles in professional life.

This combination will be come severe only when both the planets are posited very close to each other, else, there will be only temporary disturbance.

The time will change as the planetary dasha period changes.

 

What happens when Ketu Venus Saturn and the Moon are in the 12th house in my birth chart?

 

Firstly it depends on the ascendant sign. This is because for certain ascendants Moon is a benefic and for a few Moon is a malefic.

Venus and Saturn are benefic for Taurus, Gemini, Virgo, Libra, Capricorn and Aquarius to certain levels which keep wavering.

So, no one can give a sure shot prediction but give general analysis of Venus, Saturn, Moon and Ketu in the 12th.

Generally the 12th house signifies sensuality, enjoying materialistic comforts, sleep quality, abroad travel and settlement, etc.

If malefics are placed in the 12th the above significations will get the malefic influence and hence will trouble the native.

Here in this case, Ketu which signifies the 12th house (being the karaka for Moksha) and motivates the native towards salvation is placed along with the materialistic planets Venus and Saturn.

This is a conflict and since Moon is also involved the native will also get emotionally distressed.

The lordship of Saturn, Venus and Moon will also influence those houses and their factors.

 

What is Vipreet Raj yoga basically? Are there any examples to share?

 

Vipreet Raj yoga happens when the 6th/8th/12th lords are either placed in the 6th/8th/12th houses.

When the planets gain strength (6/8/12th lords) then the native will surely gain confidence in life. The planetary period of these planets will be beneficial to the native.

For example :

A native who is a Civil Engineer and Architect was doing just okay in her profession when she was going through the Saturn Maha dasha (Aries Ascendant with Saturn in 11th house - sign of Aquarius).

Normally when Saturn is placed in own sign and that too the house profit, it is assumed that the native will make good profits. But, in this case the native was just scraping through (not even close to her expectations).

She entered into the Mercury maha dasha in end 2016. Mercury is the 6th lord which is debilitated in the 12th house. (6th in 12th has caused VRY).

This planetary period saw a lot of changes in her way of handling her business. She has put up a new office in a busy street and is making very good progress. She also passed the highest civil contractor certification examination which is required for authenticating loans and projects.

VRY has given her the strength and confidence and also good profits.

 

What is the effect of the 2nd and 11th house lord for an Aquarius ascendant debilitated in the 12th house?

 

Jupiter is the 2nd and 11th lord for Aquarius sign and when it is debilitated in the 12th house (the house of loss and displacement) we feel we will go under loss, lose our profession and so on.

Actually if the ascendant lord Saturn is well placed and the 10th lord Mars is also well placed in the chart then the native might do well abroad (professionally).

If the ascendant lord is not strong and is weak then the native will go through difficulties taking decisions with regard to travel, investments and hence might go under loss financially.

If the 6th lord is strong and malefically posited then the native might go through illness.

All these predictions are based on general planetary positions and will vary as per the actual chart.

 

How does it affect an Aries ascendant to have Mars, Ketu, Mercury and Venus in the 5th house? My 11th house is in Rahu and Saturn (retrograde) in the 9th.


Mars the ascendant lord being placed in the 5th house is excellent. The other planets placed in the 5th will either compliment the 5th or pull it down.

Here Venus is not considered good, since it is afflicted by the placement of Ketu.

The degrees between the planets are to be known before getting into predictions, since the planets may have involved in War (graha yuddha) and mutually both the planets might have lost their positivity.

 

What are the effects of the Sun and Mercury in the 12th house for a Virgo ascendant?


Any query regarding conjunction of any planet with Sun should be supported with the longitudes of both the planets.

In this case let us assume that Sun and Mercury are in a safe distance from each other, such that Mercury is not combust and being the ascendant lord is strong and well posited with Sun to form Budhaaditya yoga.

12th lord Sun in the 12th has given rise to a Vipareet Raja yoga and the conjunction of Mercury and Sun also has given rise to the yoga as said above.

If Mercury has gained shadbala (six fold strength) then the native will have good prospects abroad/faraway place from the place of birth, professionally.

 

What happens if 5th Lord in 7th house, 7th Lord in 9th house and 9th lord in 11th house?

 

The 5th lord in the 7th house is considered good since being a benefic the 5th lord has moved 3 house into the 7th house (which is an important quadrant).

The 7th lord moving on to the 9th (a trine) will enhance 9th house.

The 9th lord moving to the 11th will ensure profits and luck to the native, but this is not considered as a good house (the 11th).

The native may suffer some chronic problems which might have passed down to him from parents (heredity).

 

What happens when you have the Sun, Jupiter, and Saturn in the 7th house of a D9 chart?

 

Sun and Saturn together in the 7th house in any chart is not a good combination and is clearly considered negative or problematic.

Here this combination is placed in the 7th house of the D9 chart.

The 7th house of a D9 chart signifies communication and relationship with spouse. There will be problems like misunderstanding and ego between the couple.

 

What is the effect of the Mars and Ketu conjunction in the 4th house in the sign of Scorpio?

 

Mars when placed in the sign of Scorpio is considered to be in a very good position. Even Ketu which is said to share this sign as its own house along with Mars is considered to give good results when placed in it.

Mars and Ketu in the 4th house and well posited will certainly give good Education, Own House, Vehicles, etc.

 

What is the effect of the Jupiter Mercury Sun combination in the Virgo sign of a Libra ascendant?

 

For Libra ascendant Virgo becomes the 12th house. Jupiter is the 3rd and the 6th lord, Sun is the 11th lord and Mercury is the 9th and the 12th lord.

This combination of Jupiter, Sun and Mercury will give mixed results since Mercury is placed in the 12th which is its own sign and will tend to give positive results, but Jupiter and Sun may not give good results.

Jupiter being the 6th and Sun being the 11th have conjoined in the house of loss. The native has to be careful with regard to his/her health. Jupiter suggests digestive problems, Sun suggests acidity and in combination it suggests Hyper tension and Diabetes.

Good diet, exercise and keeping in good health would be priority.

 

For a Gemini ascendant, how is the conjunction of the Sun, Moon, Venus and Mercury in the second house considered?


Moon when placed in its own sign is an excellent combination for Gemini ascendant.

Here we have Sun, Venus and Mercury along with Moon.

We need to know as to whether the other three planets are combust due to the placement of Sun in the same sign.

The position of Sun in the 2nd will anyhow give good results as Sun is the 3rd lord.

 

Venus is the 5th lord and Mercury is the 4th and ascendant lord and this combination gives rise to a Rajayoga.

 

What is the result of Sun, Mercury, and Venus in the 7th house and the 7th lord in the 9th house of a Libra ascendant? How will be the married life?


Mercury and Mars have exchanged houses in this case. Here the ascendant lord Venus is placed in the 7th house in Aries and is associated with Sun. The degree difference between Sun and the other two planets has to be verified to check as to whether the planets have gone through combustion or not.

If the planets have gone through combustion then the married life would go through troubles, but if there is a safe distance between the planets then it would be smooth.

The aspect over the 7th lord Mars which is placed in the sign of Gemini is also important.

The whole chart has to be seen to make an accurate prediction and hence the details of birth is required.

 

What happens when the Sun, Budh, and Shukra are in the 8th house of a Virgo ascendant?


For Virgo ascendant Mercury and Venus are benefics and their combination in the 8th house i.e Aries is not that good. The conjunction gives rise to challenges to the native.

The exaltation of Sun in the same house is an excellent placement since it gives rise to Vipreet raja yoga (being the 12th lord in the 8th house). The native will have orientation towards his goals and will succeed in achieving them.

Depending on the planetary period the native will progress in life.

 

What are your views on Saturn Rahu conjunction in 11th house and Sun Mars Ketu conjunction in 5th house? I am a Libra ascendant.


For a libra ascendant Saturn is a yoga karaka (which can single handedly give rise to Rajayogas).

Saturn is here placed with a malefic Rahu in the 11th house (sign of Leo).

This is not a good conjunction. Saturn becomes weak and will under perform (give less positive results). This combination also induces fear into the native and makes him over cautious and anxious.

The placement of Sun, Ketu and Mars in the 5th will give rise to good education (though there might a years gap due to various reasons).

 

What is the effect of Jupiter in 7th house and Sun, Mercury and Venus in 6th house for Virgo ascendant?


For a Virgo ascendant Jupiter is the 7th lord (lord of the sign of Pisces) and it being in the 7th house gives rise to Hamsa Yoga.

This is one of the strongest of yogas and will give positive results.

It is to be noted here that Jupiter should not be retrograde in motion.

The placement of Sun the 12th lord in the 6th house gives rise to a Vipreet Raj Yoga.

Mercury and Venus (the lord of the ascendant and the 2nd and 9th lord) conjunct is an excellent combination, but since it is in the 6th house along with Sun, the native has to be careful with regard to his health.

Mercury in the 6th gives rise to Deha kashtha yoga (ailments to the body).

But, this position of Mercury with Venus in the 6th makes the native rich and famous.

 

How would you describe a person with a Scorpio rising, Taurus Sun, and Aquarius Moon?


Moon in the sign of Aquarius (Kumbha) and it being the 4th house makes the quadrant (Kendra) strong. Moon here is the 9th lord and will fortify the 4th house.

Sun the 10th lord in the 7th house (opposite of ascendant) will make the native a career oriented person. Interested in Politics at an young age.

The placement of the ascendant lord if known would have made things more clearer.

Moon in the 4th house gives luxury and comforts.

Here is a person who is brought up in a well to do environment, the native has an aim to achieve and would never compromise it for anything.

A silent, reserved but committed achiever.

If Mars is well posited with good aspect over the ascendant, Moon or the Sun, then the native may enter the Armed forces as an officer.

 

What happens when Jupiter, Mars, and Venus are in the 7th house in Capricorn and Moon and Rahu conjuct in second house for cancer ascendent?


Moon in the 2nd from Cancer ascendant is an excellent position. The distance between Moon and Rahu matters a lot.

If Moon is in a safe distance from Rahu then the ascendant lord Moon would acquire good positive energy and so does the native.

If Moon is very close to Rahu (say within 5 degrees) then the ascendant will get malefic affliction and do does the native. The native will get confused very fast and only meditation and mentoring will help.

The 3 planets Jupiter + Mars + Venus in the 7th create a combination of Raja yogas and also some malefic yogas.

Venus and Mars in the 7th (Capricorn) makes the native romantic and creative.

Jupiter and Mars in the 7th (Capricorn) gives rise to Neecha Bhanga Raja Yoga.

Jupiter and Venus combination is known as Dwiguru yoga and in the 7th may give problems in the marriage/relationship.

 

What are the effects of the Sun and Venus conjunction in the 10th house for a Sagittarius ascendant?


Any planet other than Rahu when comes close to the Sun (at least within 5 degrees) then we say that the planet has gone through combustion and hence is very weak.

Venus and Mercury are always close to Sun. But if Venus is not combust and is associated with Sun in the sign of Virgo which is the 10th sign from Sagittarius ascendant, then being the 6th and 11th lord may give health problems to the native.

Here in the sign of Virgo, Venus gets debilitated.

Sun the 9th lord in the 10th house (Virgo) may give the native a good Govt. Job.

 

What are the results of Mercury and the Sun in the 12th house for a Pisces ascendant?


For Pisces ascendant Mercury is a badhaka planet (planet which causes hurdles) being the 4th and the 7th lord (lord of the quadrants) and Sun is the 6th lord (lord of growth and competitiveness).

This combination in the 12th will give you an opportunity to go abroad on job or get into a Govt job which will have frequent transfers.

Without the whole chart it is just giving you a rough analysis.

 

What are the effects of Mars in the 4th house and Saturn in the 7th house for a Taurus ascendant?


For a Taurus ascendant Mars is the 7th and 12th lord and hence is considered malefic. Saturn is the 9th and the 10th lord and is considered an excellent benefic planet.

Here in this case, Saturn is placed in the 7th house in the sign of Scorpio and its dispositor Mars is placed in the 4th (sign of Leo).

Saturn is aspecting Mars with its 10th aspect and in turn Mars is aspecting Saturn with its 4th aspect.

Though Mars is a malefic, due to this mutual aspect and being the dispositor of Saturn and also being placed in its friends house, it will act positive to the chart and will give good results in its dasha period.

Mars and Saturn periods may give happy marriage and good life.Again the above prediction will vary depending on the placement and associations of other planets too and especially the ascendant lord Venus.

What happens if Jupiter and the Moon are in the 5th house for a Virgo ascendant?


11th lord Moon and the 4th and 7th lord Jupiter form a strong association when conjunct. This combination is known as Gajakesari Yoga.

Jupiter when placed in Capricorn becomes debilitated. But, the combination with Moon will certainly give it back its strength and though there is delay, the significations of the 5th house v.i higher studies, good progeny and other important factors will manifest.

 

What will be the effects of Moon and Ketu placed apart by 20 degrees in the fourth house of Aries? Retrograde Saturn is placed in the second house and the Sun is in the sixth house.


First Case : considering the planetary positions from Aries ascendant.

For Aries ascendant Moon happens to be the 4th lord and its conjunction with Ketu in the same sign is not considered good. Here in this case you have clearly mentioned that there is a distance of 20 degrees from each other (that is between Moon and Ketu).

This is a very good information to know that Moon is not malefically influenced by Ketu and that Moon independently gives good effects of being placed in the 4th house.

Also one should understand that Ketu also will be influencing the 4th house if not Moon.

So a combined effect of Moon and Ketu independently influencing the 4th has to be considered.

Second Case : Considering the position of Moon and Ketu in Aries and the ascendant being Capricorn.

In this case Moon becomes weak due to its placement in Ashwini constellation. The lord of that nakshatra (constellation) Ketu is placed in the same sign.

Now the relationship between Ketu and Moon is created. Here in this case Moon gets afflicted due to Ketu and hence is deemed weak.

 

What is the effect of the combination of Rahu, Saturn, and Mars in the seventh house of Taurus Lagna?


Mars is the lord of the 7th house from Taurus and its position in that house gives rise to a strong yoga called as the Ruchaka yoga.

In this case this yoga is spoiled by the placement of Saturn and Rahu in the same sign.

This combination of three planets may create problems in marriage and marital life. It would be better if the native would get the charts matched before finalizing the alliance.

Also the other placements like the Jupiter and Venus the ascendant lord has to be verified before judging the horoscope in full.

 

What happens when Shukra and Rahu is present in the same Nakshatra Aridra in the 7th house for a Sagittarius ascendant?

Shukra represents good and comfortable living. When it gets involved with (conjunct) with Rahu then it gets impure.

The problem starts when the native desires more than he puts effort for. There will be dissatisfaction and depression due to failures.

The best remedial measure would be to live a simple life and keep your desires under control. Do not argue when it is not your matter at all. People around you will misjudge you immediately and you will not be able to prove your point.

Meditation will help.


How good is the Venus Mercury Moon conjunction in the 5th house?

5th house signifies creativity, though process, imagination, education, progeny, etc.

The placement of benefic planets like Venus, Mercury and Moon in the 5th house is a good sign.

You will be inclined towards knowledge and will be artistic in nature.The actual results will depend on the ascendant sign and the placement of the ascendant lord too.

 

What happens when Mangal and Shani are in the 2nd house of a Virgo ascendant?

Both Mars and Saturn have conflicting characters (Significations).

One is Aggressive (sometimes arrogant) and the other is Calm (sometimes placid)

Mars is Virility and Saturn is Impotency

The stronger the planet the more it rules this conjunction

In this case for Virgo ascendant Saturn in the 2nd house makes it exalted and very strong, whereas Mars is the 3rd and the 8th lord and is weak in the 2nd.

Mars however is aspecting the 8th and hence the 8th house is protected.

If Saturn is having more longitude than Mars then Saturn will give full positive results and on the contrary if Mars has more longitude than Saturn and is faraway from Saturn the again its negativity will not hinder the positiveness of Saturn.

Only in the case of both being close by and Mars gaining more strength due to higher longitude the positivity of Saturn is destroyed or lessened.

Mars is considered negative and hence will give negative results unless the ascendant lord is strong and the ascendant has positive aspect.

 

What does it mean if Tula Lagna, 7th house Aries having 5 planets, Sun, Saturn, Venus, Jupiter and Mercury?

Sun is exalted and being the 11th lord will give excellent results when associated with Jupiter and Mercury.

The closeness of Saturn and Venus to Sun is to be verified to understand as to whether the planets have undergone combustion or not.

If not combusted and are close together then being the ascendant lord Venus fortifies the ascendant and makes it strong.

A debilitated Saturn (though there is an exalted Sun) will not give good results.

The chart has to be referred to make certain predictions. Just placements cannot be taken for sure.

What happens if Sun Rahu and Mercury is in the 6th house of Pisces Lagna?


6th lord Sun in the 6th house should be giving positive 

results. But, since it is mentioned that Rahu and Mercury conjoins it in Leo, the whole scenario changes. Sun gets afflicted by Rahu and loses its positive strength.

Sun represents the Heart and this affliction may give rise to 

Hyper Tension (High BP) and problems related to the heart (Cardiac problems).

The native would have to take care of health on a daily basis.

 

What are the effects of the three planets Venus, Jupiter, and Ketu placed in the 6th house?


Venus and Jupiter are considered natural benefics and their placement in the 6th is not considered good.

There are positive aspects of this placement anyhow. The native will be humble and will strive hard to serve people around him/her.

The placement of Ketu in the 6th along with these two benefics acutally afflicts Ketu and this placement may cause health problems like diabetes, varicose veins, etc.

The best remedial measure would be to exercise (walk) and eat well (nutritious).
