Role Of The ‘Moon’ In Education

Dr. Shanker Adawal (Jyotishaacharya, PHD, MBA)

All astrological texts and astrologers accept that the Moon, inter-alia, is mind and the question for consideration in this small write ups is whether and to what extent education can be acquired by benefic or malefic Moon. At the same time, the involvement of major significations for education namely Jupiter and Mercury cannot be ruled out. Similarly certain signs and their parts. However, though total consideration of the horoscope may be needed but the discussion shall be confined to the specific question of the role played by NATAL Moon for acquiring 'Education'.

What constitutes 'education' for purposes of astrology would differ from native to native and in view of the modern times astrology would cover education from primary to secondary, secondary to graduation augmented by higher studies? At the same time it becomes inevitable to mention that 'education' is a word of wide importance taking the dictionary meaning into consideration, education stands for bringing up or training as of child, instruction, strengthening the powers of the body or mind. Further analysis would say that education includes culture' technical education and cover various field of Art, Music, Drama, archaeology, economics and Sanitary Science and Psychological healing. This apart, the word 'education' has come to stay for the process of training and developing the knowledge, skill, mind and covers normal schooling. However, education cannot be restricted to scholastic education only. It would cover all steps of learning apart from education though schools/colleges and universities. Hence the need for mind (Moon) for any type of learning would differ from native to native depending on the personal horoscope.

The Moon is mind. The Moon represents 'chitta; or emotions of all sorts. The Moon represents the highest state of mind and learning in all kinds of liquids, including water and milk, is, inter-alia, provided by the Moon (a watery planet). The requisite skill (education) to rule general by the Moon. In astrology, the Moon has also been treated as an eye, specially left eye and no education would be possible without proper eyesight, thus the Moon plays its role, though in modern times, even a blind-man can learn to read and write.

The Moon in various sign and houses also influence the scope of education to be acquired by the native. Briefly, the mon in turus makes the native intelligent (with or without proper schooling), the Moon in Gemini makes the native scholarly and learned, intelligence is also conferred by the Moon in Virgo and Libra, though in Libra, the native would be of balanced mind, the Moon in Sagittarius makes the native well varsed in literature and some natives may become authors and the Moon in Aquarius makes the native learned with power of intuition.

The internal darkness of the native is dispelled by the rays of the Moon and is said to rule over the lives of the beings on the earth. All this amounts to self-realization and learning from within. Introspection s provided by the Moon.

The Moon in various houses has its influence on the native. However, for the purposes of the present write-up, only aspect of the Moon on education shall be discussed.

The Moon in the 1st house (Lagan) makes the native normally educated, the Moon in the second house though makes the native intelligent but also stands for break in education', 3rd house Moon makes the native to possess good knowledge and thus becomes intelligent, the Moon in the 4th house enables the native to acquires high education, the Moon in the 5th house gives clarity to mind but has also interrupted education, some of the learned authors are of the view that even Moon in the 6th house makes the native intelligent, apart from giving success in all undertakings, the 10th house Moon makes the native intelligent and the Jupiter and the Moon together make the native learned in ancient subjects and skilled in astrology. And finally, it has been seen that the 12th house Moon would give eye-trouble, mental troubles thus compelling the native to have no education or less education.

Now, about the main significations of education. The known and accepted significations are Jupiter and Mercury. For all educational purposes, one looks for the placement of Jupiter and Mercury. Apart from these significations, the houses to be considered for education are 4th, 2nd, 5th and 9th. For higher and higher education and government awards, we look into the 11th house. However, some of the writers have taken 10th house also as houses of education. Without dwelling into controversy as to what extent 10th house us is to be taken into account for education purposes, it would suffice to say that the main houses for education are 2, 4, 5 and 9.

In one of his lectures, analysis of education 'both from the point of significations and houses ahs nicely been done, it would be relevant to say that apart from the consideration of 'Lagan' and Lagan lord for basic characteristics (man is known by the company it keeps i.e. planets in lagan), a reference to the following houses for 'education' of the native is inevitable though these houses tell about so many other things:

2nd house - basic and primary education.

4th house - main academic education specially upto Ten plus Two or near about graduation if the field of education is diversified i.e. some diplomas etc.

5th house - Graduation or near there to.

9th house - Post graduation, and

11th house - Higher education.

The main point for consideration in this write-up is whether and to what extent the Moon plays its part in giving education in full, break in education, education by stages and slow education while doing work (service or profession). Few aspects can be explained by the individual horoscopes to show that the Moon has a definite role to play in the education of the native.

Mars, Ketu

Saturn

Chart No. 1

Sun

Moon

Venus

Rahu

Lagan, Jupiter, Mars

In this horoscope (Chart No.1) the native played truant while in school, failed in metric during Mars dasa but came up later with higher education qualifications apparently with Moon in 4th house though Jupiter is giving its 5th aspect on the 5th house with Saturn there in. therefore, the Moon has its part to play.

Sat

Sun, Mercury

Venus, Mars, Ketu

Jupiter

Chart no. 2

Lagan

Rahu

Moon

In this case (Chart no. 2) the native, a female teacher, had to work hard to acquire the educational qualifications (M.Sc, B-Ed)- though the 4th is, inter-alia, hemmed by malefic and the saver is Moon's aspect and the lord of 4th house goes to the 5th house. Saturn in the 3rd made the native to learn while earning (service after Matric).

This horoscope belongs to late Shri Ram Kishan Damia (Chart no. 3) noted industrial. It was known that he studied upto matriculation only though he came out to be an excellent speaker writer of English, Hindi and Bengali. Saturn in the 4th did its part but Moon's aspect on Lagan apart from contributions made by 10th house Jupiter and Sun-mercury-Venus combination in the 9th house. Role of the Moon in education is well depicted.

Sun, Mercury

Jupiter, Rahu

Lagan

Chart No.3

Moon

Ketu

Saturn

In this horoscope (Chart No.4) the Moon is in the 6th house, though the Moon debilitated is in and inauspicious house, the native held the highest post, after having acquired high education, remained for a long time as Judge of the (International Court of Justice the horoscope is of Late Dr. Nagendra Singh). It would be seen that the houses governing education don't speak much, on the face of them, but applying the astrological dicta (as planet debilitated or lord of these house's 3, 6, 8 and 12 give greater results). The only point to be stressed was to say that even the debilitated Moon had its role in the education of the native through the 10th house became very strong helping the native to acquire the highest education.

Sun Mercury

Saturn

Lagan Mars

Rahu

Chart no. 4

Jupiter

Ketu

Moon

This horoscope (Chart no.5) belongs to an ordinary person and apparently, the natives should have got reasonably good education because the second lord Mercury is well placed and has no malefic aspect or association. All other important Planets are posited in the 10th house but within axis of Rahu and Ketu. Moon is not well placed in the 12th house and can be said to be malefic being within 72 degree of the Sun. no help from Moon, the native could hardly get education upto matriculation and ended up with a small job.

Moon

Lagan

Jupiter, Sun, Mars, Rahu, Venus

Chart no. 5

Ketu

Saturn

Without multiplying the example, it would suffice to say that the MOON has a definite role to play in the acquisition of education in stages. Hence, the role of the Moon has to be taken into account while considering the houses governing education as well as the significations for education i.e. Jupiter and Mercury. It can be said that the MOON status is next to that of the SUN. The factors influenced by the Moon enable the native to aquire high (higher) education followed by a high status. Taking the broad view of the term 'education', the Moon stands for development of good behavior and ideas, pursuits for acquisition of money (education and intelligence), mental satisfaction, intuition and psychic perceptions, as a result of higher education to get personal recognition and achievements.

Finally, a word about the horoscope of the learned astrologer Shri M.S.Sitharamiah, (born in balance of Mars and died in Mahadasha of Venus, antra of Venus). This apart, the point for consideration is whether and to what extent the MOON contributed to his educational qualifications. On analysis, Lagan lord Venus is in 7th- Saturn and Rahu having aspect of Ketu with Jupiter (R) and at the same time Venus is aspecting its own house. 2nd lord Mars is in 4th and 6th lord Saturn in 7th. The MOON is in 5th house having aspect of Jupiter and thus contributing to the acquired education of the native. Further, the 10th lord Moon placed in 5th house having aspect of Jupiter indicated the known profession of journalist and astrologer. In Navamasa, the 11th house becomes strong further. The Moon becomes the major contributor for education in Navamasa being in Lagan though in the house of Mars aspecting the 11th house along with Saturn. To sum up, Mercury of native did not contribute mush for education being in the 6th house along with Sun which leads to all afflictions and the native becomes prone to certain evils which does not apperar to be the case with the native. However Saturn-Venus combination in the 9th house in the Navamasa without inflicted MOON made the native highly meritorious, highly learned famous, skillful in speech and dear to the people. However, Balbhadra has stated for combination of Venus-Saturn in the 9th house that the native may be serene in disposition and be resolute.

Remedial Measures Chartiy/Alms/ Conations

Dr. Shanker Adawal (Jyotishaacharya, PHD, MBA)

Many things are wrought by prayer. Similarly, many obstacles are removed by giving something in charity/aims/donations etc. In India, the concept of charity is well known and looking to the ancient culture, many poor homes etc are being run and including those run by the Government. Charitable institutions – voluntary organizations are doing their best to do service to the humanity. Thought the form and method differs from institution to institution. Actually all these institutions do not necessarily cater to the needs of poor for whom charity is meant. Similarly, the organizations (YMCA) and known hospitals in Delhi namely Mulchand Khairati Hospital, Ganga Ram Hospital etc. no longer purely exist for the poor though they may have some small section for general public and outpatients. Without dwelling on the actual facts, it is stated that in astrology, the remedial measures consist of charity, yantras, festing, mantras, and apart form gems.

Feeding the poor, i.e. charity in any form is the most accepted method of removal of personal difficulties and has been ranked as 'invaluable weapon' to over come the effects of bad planets. Charity can take various forms for that the Editor may be consulted.

Rich and poor existed, exist and will continue to exist. But what has been cherished even in the constitution of India is the equitable distribution of income, wealth etc. and concentration of the wealth/power in the hands of few has been deplored in the democratic set-up. But with 50 years of independence, the things have not improved and the poor remains practically at the same strata though in metropolises, some improvement is indicated. But, there is no solace for the man in the street.

We have planetary cabinet – The Sun, the Moon are royal planets, Mercurry is Prince, Jupiter and Venus are Ministers and Saturn is the servant. Therefore the poor and rich must exist and co-exist together. When we have the king, we need the people to serve him.

Polygamy- Astrological Principles

Dr. Shanker Adawal (Jyotishaacharya, PHD, MBA)

1) All the facts of life including one marriage and plurality of marriages are covered by Divine Science-Astrology. Polygamy speaks of having more than one Living wife. Polygamist is one who has more than one living wife. The other word is 'polygyny' which indicates pluraity of wives.

2) Astrology has some combinations which clearly speak of more than one wife. Even in Palmistry, the lines in the hand of the native also indicate more than one wife. However, astrological principles and also of the palmistry are subject to – Desh, Pat and Kal', i.e. marriage in this case and also traditions/ customs supported by the society. One may not be in a position to go beyond as now marriage with another woman when first wife id living is prohibited. Thus the native may not go in for another wife when another is living though keeping and affair/secret affair continues to exist. Secret affairs continue even when divorces proceeding etc. are energetic.

3) The ignition for another wife is given by the energetic planet MARS with placement of Venus/Rahu. Of course, the planet for purities Mercury has an equal say in the matter specially for Virgo/Gemini. Ascendant and if 7th house is occupied by Mars Venus and Mercury with aspect of Rahu, indications of more than one wife and simultaneously must be judged from the position of houses 7th, 2nd, 12th and 4th house their lords and the feminine/ masculine character of the planets.

4) One of the astrological principles is that lord of the 7th house and that of the 2nd house (8th from 7th) must be weak in order to give more than one marriage. Venus must be in the company of malefics specially Saturn/Rahu/Ketu to afflict the 7th house substantially. In one case weakness of 7th Lord (Venus) and also of Jupiter resulted in 3 marriages at a time. Another principle is that the presence of strong benefic Moon in the 7th house and Venus in dignity (exaltation) gives more than one wife either legally or illegally (one regular wife and other as 'Keep'). (Friendship type in Gujarat).

5) Purity of wives had existed from times immemorial. Even among the Devtas (Gods), some instances of pluraity are well known. The practice of pluraity is in vogue among Mohamandans though the present day education has reduced the polygamy even among them. Way back in ancient times, Saja Preasara had laid down certain principles for purity of wives. One will have two wives if the 7th Lord is in fall (debilitated) or in a malefic sign along with a malefic while the 7th house or 7th Novamasha belong to eunuch planet. In Prasara Hora Sastra, the following other principles are also laid down:

I. If Mars and Venus are in the 7thhouse or if Saturn in the 7th whiles the Lagna Lord (Ascendant Lord) is in 8th, the native shall have three wives.

II. There will be may wives if Venus (significators of marriages) if in dual sing (Gemini, Virgo, Saggitarius and Pisces) while its lord i.e. exaltation sign and 7th Lord is also endowed with strength.

6) Some of the male native, depending on their birth Nakshtra and other stars have been racked as electrically charged dynamo and their urge for sex compel them to go in for more marriages wither legally or illegally. In some cases, the need for second marriage is on account of failure of the first wife to give birth to a child specially the son. Sex refusal of the wife to oblige the husband the way he wants etc. become responsible for another wife.

7)

I. According to Jatka Phala Deepka (Dr K.N. Saraswathy) if there are two planets in the 7th house or 11th house, the native will have two wives. But in experience at the present times, it may not be so. If the lord of 7th house and Venus are posited in a dual sign or amsa, the person shall have two wives. (This practically as laid down in Prasara Hora Sastra).

II. According to Phala-Deepka (Manteshwara) it is stated that If there be a hermaphrodite planet in the 7th house and the 11th house is occupied by two planets, the person concerned shall have two wives. Further, the native will associate with many women as is the number of planets in the 7th house (indicated supra also). The number of wives should generally be ascertained from the number of planets that are in conjunction with the lord of 7th house and Venus. As stated in above pares, the native will have two wives if both the lords of 7th house and Venus are posited in dual signs or amass.

8) Briefly, the role of Mercury (Budha) had been explained. The word used in Sanskrit is 'Bahustri samyut' meaning the native is having connection with many women or many women surround him. Apparently connection refers to sexual union. This is what has been stated in Sri Sawartha Chintamani (B. R. Surayanarayana Rao). In addition, it is stated that when the 1st, 2nd or 7th house is occupied by any evil planet and the lord of 7th house is in debilitation or combust, the native may have three wives. This may not give living wives as in view of debilitation/combustion of 7th Lords, one or two wives may die.

9) Numberless wives are indicated when the lord of 7th house is in 10th house and the lord of 10th is in 7th house (exchanges of 10th and 7th). In ancient times, the harems of many of the Mahomandan and the Hindu Sovereigns are known though all the women so kept may not be called "Wives". But these principles may have no application to the present times thought the said exchange may make the native to gain lot of wealth through women.

10) Following example speak of polygamy. The 7th lord is Mars and occupies the Navmas of Libra. Lord of Libra is Venus. Had Venus been n conjunction with a benefic and if he had occupied paravatamasa etc. the ancient's sages have indicated wives upto 100 also.

11) While celebrating his 80th birthday o 18.07.1998, South African President Neslon Mandela had another marriage (Perhaps third as per Sunday Times dated 19-07-1998 published reports). He married Mozambican Graca Machec at a private ceremony in Houghton, Johnsnnesburg the 52 year old Ms. Machel is the widow of former Mozambican President Samora Machel. Now, we examine the birth chart of President Nelson as given in the books:

BIRTH – 18TH JULY, 1918

The planetary position for more than one marriage are summed up as under:

7th Lord Saturn in the 12th house (comforts of bed) in association with Sun and Mercury.
Saturn aspecting Mars in the 2nd house (also considered to be house of marriage family).
12th Lord Moon in the sign of Venus (libra) aspecting Aries (9th house) of Mars. Rahu in the 4th house (9domestic life) aspecting Venus representative of wife. Mercury Lord of pluraity in the 12th house with 7th lord Saturn.

Politics And Policaians In General

Dr. Shanker Adawal (Jyotishaacharya, PHD, MBA)

We are all governed by STARS but it has been seen that some time you are given something by it has been that some time you are given something by surprise and even when not expecting. This is on account of auspicious time which comes in everybody's life. In other cases, it has been seen that natives believes more in karma and follow the principle 'rule the planets instead of being rules by them'.

The latest example of unexpected luck is of the Prime Minister Shri Inder Kumar Gujral who became Prime Minister of India on 21.04.1997.

Every thing is fair in love and war the hold good in politics also. The entry of some persons known for their criminal record had gained entry in politics through their respective parties. This is not true in Indian politics but all over the world. In the Hindustan Times dated 7th October, 1995, it was reported 'politician's concern 83' Criminal' to contest poll in Russia and from the news item it was found that leading Russian politicians urged electoral authorities to take action against 83 suspected criminals who were running as candidates. Mikhail Molostson, Press spokesman of the Communist Party said' In almost every region of Russia, there are people who earned money through illegal means and now hope to escape criminal investigation by elected to the Duma'.

How people and the country is better now is left to be judge by the readers. Tracing history, Pandit Nehru had appealed to the nation for hard work and January 26th was said to be a day of significance (The Times of India dated 26.1.1950). So continues the appeals by the leaders and others. The progress of the nation is dependent on many factors including high character, integrity and the principles of Gandhiji. Apart from the planetary position governing the nation from time to time, it is time to rejuvenate our youth and the older persons also to work sincerely for the country. Be that as it may, IT CONTINUS TO BE A BIG QUESTION MARK.

It was also on 26th Jan., 1950 that President Elect. Dr. Rajendrea Prasad suggested 'CLASSLESS SOCIETY SHOULD BE OUR AIM' and continuing he said: "We must rededicate ourselves --- for establishing a classless, co-operative free and happy society in the country". The present day 'United Front Government' does speak of co-operation among the parties but inside fighting-whether from major parties i.e. the Congress or BJP or among the members of the United Front continues to mar the situation. This indicated that we have not stood to the principles enshrined and advocated with promulgation of the Constitution of India.

Some glimpses of the way how our political parties worked: and how the planets had a role to play with reference to India's Horoscope Taurus Lagna:

1) Rao-Kesri flex their muscles – Cong. Chief for expulsion of convicted leaders – Ex.P.M. to strike back at leadership – The Hindustan Times dated 16.11.1996 (Sun in Scorpio (8th House) aspected by Mars – Saturday.

2) Election for the Congress Party President – Shared Pawar and Rajesh Pilot lost the elections.

3) Congress (Karnataka) expels 33 rebels- See the The Hindustan Times date 15.11.1994. This shows that seed of rift was sown long ago and may continues. (Sun in its last degrees in Libra-Saturn and Venus Retrograde in Libra and Acquirus)-Tuesday.

4) Gowda Govt. falls – Trust move defeated – The Hindustan Times dated 12.4.1997 – BJP not likely to stake claim. (Sun in last degrees in Pisces (11th house) Retrograde Mars aspecting the Sun - Saturday).

The above examples can be multiplied but it may not be possible to do the same in view of limited space in this journal.

What is the solution – all parties must work together and the defeated political leaders must have patience to wait for their turn. All the parties have one common object-service to the country and its people – this purpose is defeated in view of rifts among the parties. The Divine Advice – ALL PARTIES MUST WORK TOGETHER and solve their differences for the country and its people.

Political Astrology

Dr. Shanker Adawal (Jyotishaacharya, PHD, MBA)

As for other combinations, the horoscope must have some combination to enter politics or become a Man (Leader) of masses. Normally some Raj-yogas have to be present in the horoscope even for becoming a Member of Rajya Sabha though most of the leaders are born to become public representatives.

We start with the horoscope of Late Shri Biju Patnaik. I am replying on the published date of birth as I have no personal contact. The astro-analysis shall serve two purposes one to show the strength in the horoscope of the native to become a Chief Minister and important VIP and the other is to pay respect to the departed leader:

Horoscope of Shri Biju Patnaik

Date of Birth – 5th March 1916

POB Cuttack

The Native was born when Raurus ruled by Venus was rising and Lagna Lord gets to 12th house. 2nd Lord Mercury gets to 9th house (Trine) but with Rahu and aspected by Mars and Keu- giving the native extra- energy to shoulder various responsibilities. The Moon 3rd Lord gets to 11th house with Jupiter causing a Gaj-Kesri Yoga from Chandra Kundli. The powerful is the Sun in the 10th house being 4th Lord – 4th house represent masses and the native was to become a leader as the powerful Sun aspect the its own sign-Leao-the fourth house is aspected by Mars whereas 11th house is well fortified. To be a leader, Saturn – the planet of masses aspect the 4th house.

"Joined Ind. National Airways, become its ace pilot, took part in Quit India Movement in 1942. Courted imprisonment during freedom movement, flew Indonesian Prime Minister Sultan Sidarir to New Delhi during Indonesian fight against the Dutch, landed first Indian Plane in Kashmir during Pakistan invasion, and took to setting up industries on return to Orissa. Was member of the Orissa assembly from 1952-73, re-elected in 1985. Chief Minister from 1961-63 and 1990-95. Resigned under Kamraja Plan in August 1963. Lead Pragati Party until assembly's dissolution in 1973. Elected to Rajya Sabha in 1972. Was member of Lok Sabha from 1977-79, and then from 1980-84 was minister for steel and mines, Government of India, from 1977-79. Served as Chairman of the Orissa Planning Board from 1963-67 and in 1972. Was leader of opposition of Orissa Assembly from 1985-89 and then since 1995.

The death came on 17th April, 1997 in the morning. The planetary position with reference to natal chart was:

No planet in Lagna, The Moon had no force though in own sign- Cancer, Mars (retrograde) was in fourth house and thus afflicted the previous house of the Moon, Rahu in the 5th house aspected Saturn and Ketu, Jupiter (debilitated) in 9th house was aspected by Retrograde Mars and also by Saturn. Lagna Lord Venus was in 12th house with Mercury and Sun-Venus also the Lord of 6th house. Malefic content of planets resulted in death of the tallest leader of his time lived long life of 8.1. He is survived by two sons and a daughter.

Palmistry through Astrology

Dr. Shanker Adawal (Jyotishaacharya, PHD, MBA)

Some say palmistry is also a branch of science. To some extent the version seem to be correct. Even if tracing the origin of palm-reading including a reference to the 'Lal-Kitab' – a well known classic of its time, the palm refers to planets (all of them i.e. the Sun, the Moon, Mars, Mercurry, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn) as they are referred to in astrology. Actually, the palm itself has been classified as a Horoscope with reference to the portion of the palm owned by the planets. Similarly, the 4 fingers (12 parts) represent the twelve signs as used in astrology. How to cound signs from fingers shall be discussed later. It would suffice to mention the following twelve signs referred to in Astrology as well as in Palmistry:

1. Aries - Mesha

2. Taurus - Vrishabh

3. Gemini - Mithun

4. Cancer - Karaka (kataka)

5. Leo - Simha

6. Virgo - Kanya

7. Libra - Tula

8. Scorpio - Varishchika

9. Sagittarius - Dhannu

10. Capricorn - Makara

11. Aquarius - Kumbha

12. Pisces - Meena

The idea is to acquaint the reader about the intermingling of Astrology and Palmistry. Whether astrology itself is a science ornot, the persons knowing astrology would claim it to be a perfect science. Palmistry comes next to the science of astrology and even many of the known palmists have admitted the fact that the palm cannot afford to time the happening of events as accurately as astrology can.

We have the expressions connected with palmistry i.e. chirognomy, chirosophy, physiogonomy, phrenology etc.

We had known classic 'Samudrika Shastra'. A small part of it represents 'Hasta Samudrika'. It is admitted by all that many of the treatises on 'Samudrika Shastra' now stand destroyed and with the passage of time, they have become extinct. The present version of palmistry has come to us in various distorted ways and the modern writers, with their own experience and keeping in view the modern conditions, have made some observations which do hold well. Be that as it may, the science of palmistry to study the shape of various organs of the body and indicate the tendencies of the person including his forecast for the future.

A point for the debate and consideration is whether the science of palmistry traveled from India or it had come to India from other places. Some claim that the science of palmistry traveled from India to China, Greece, Rome, Tibet and even to Egypt and Iran. But some claim its origin to Greece. However, in modern times, this science of palm-reading has traveled and has developed in all countries including the Europe, the United States of America and other western countries. Rather, Indian experts/authors do take help from the books written on palmistry by foreigners. As fas as I see, most of the scientific development in the field of palmistry have come in the 19th and 20th century. Some of the writers take to 384 BC and even earlier as reference in some of the books is made to Aristotle, the famous Greek Philosopher who was considered to be crudités scholar of both branches of palmistry i.e. (1) the shape of the hand and (ii) lines on the palm. Before proceeding further in our discussion, it would be apt to say that every line, apart from the shape of the hand has its own story to tell as we have a different story to tell by the rising ascendant (lagna) at the time of birth.

When any branch of knowledge take the status of 'science' would largely depend on the methodology it adops, steps to be followed, results to be obtained and the application of results. Even medial science, though grown to a major extent, but all the results are not found correct. Hence, this point has to be kept in mind whether it is the field of astrology, palmistry or numerology.

The role of Nature cannot be denied by any scientist. Rather, the Nature continue to be supreme and except to little extent, the Nature-forces of planets, continue to play their part. Actually, we read nature too much in the light of books rather than with reference to the character of her own known and set circular movement – rising of the Sun regularly and so on. Palmistry practically fails with regard to mundane matters. Here again comes the role of astrology. Actually, our Sages/Rishis were gifted with spiritual powers to read the Nature.

It hurts me to say that an incomplete man doubts the other incomplete man. I have seen some of the books saying where astrology has been dubbed as 'doubtful science' and some of the books on astrology make no mention of palmistry at all. Both palmistry and astrology are complimentary to each other. In my opinion astrologer should also be a palmist and a palmist should also be an astrologer. Hence the modern time coined term 'Astro-Palmist'.

Without deviating from the field of palmistry, the science under discussion, it is stated that there is nothing really new under the sun/sky. Actually, all these doctrines ad laws about the palmistry were known in the ancient times in more or less in a rudimentary state. Briefly, all these principle have been dying their own death and giving rise to new principles to be adopted by the persons living at a particular point of time. It is not wrong to say that palmistry is an old friend of human being with a new face rather with persons born with new hand (new set of lines). With regard to origin of this science and difference of opinion, the learned author A.R. Craig in his book 'Your Luck is in your hand' refers to Egyptians and then Greeks. Whereas our Indian Palmist/Author prof. Dayanand in his book "All the Secret of Palmistry for profession and Popularity' traces the origin of palmistry to India.

On Raj Yogas

Dr. Shanker Adawal (Jyotishaacharya, PHD, MBA)

Every (normally) wishes to have income/wealth and other comforts of life whether he has the beneficial planetary position or not. It is true that the changing period (Dashas and antra-dashas) of bring in good results vis-à-vis bad results. But, everybody cannot become rich and even at times the presence of raj-yogas or exalted planets fial to give the needed. Following are the important raj-yogas:

If in birth chart there are planets occupying their sign of exaltation, the native becomes a king of kings – rulers over many territories.

If there are only five planets in exaltation and there is Jupiter in strength in the Lagna (Ascendant), the native become a king. If the Moon occupies its sing of exaltation in the Ascendant (Taurus Lagna) and there are in all 6 planets in exaltation, the native becomes a king If all planets are occupying their sign of exaltation anywhere in the horoscope, then also the native becomes a king. In case all the planets are located in their own sing, the native though not a king becomes equal to king in status i.e. the present day VIP. If three planets occupy their Mool-trikona signs or if 3 planets are in friendly signs in retrogression and the rest are located in exaltation without occupying their debilitation Navamasha, the native may have status equal to that of a king. Even a single planet located in exaltation aspected by its friend make the native a king having much wealth and successful due to co-operation of his friends. On the other hand, it many planets are occupying inimical or debilitation sign, the native becomes devoid of wealth and comforts. Such persons may also foolish and diseased.

Dr. Shanker Adawal (Jyotishaacharya, PHD, MBA)

Marriage in India in the social sense is a sexual relationship enters into with the intention of making it permanent for continuing Human Race. Marriage can be classified into 8 types. They were common in ancient times. They were common in ancient times. They are: Braham, Dev, Aarsh, Gandharav, Asur, Demon, Paishach and Swayamvar.

1) Braham Marriage:- When the groom and the near relatives and friends are invited in marriage and bride is sent with Istri Dhan. This type of marriage is quite popular in modern times also and popularly called as Settled Marriage.

2) Dev Marriage:- Marriage solemnized when groom is chosen in an auspicious ceremony at once place is called 'Dev Marriage'.

3) Aarsh Marriage:- In' Aarsh Marriage', the groom offers gifts to the parents of the bride. These type of marriages are now a says solemnized in Far East.

4) Gandharav Marriage:- Marriage solemnized without the consent and knowledge of elders in private is called 'Gandharav Marriage'.

5) Demon Marriage:- Marriage solemnized with the lady won in war is called 'Demon Marriage'. The question of such a marriage usually does not arise now-a-days.

6) Asur Marriage:- Marriages solemnized with the demand of dowry are called 'Asur Marriages'.

7) Paishach Marriage:- Marriages solemnized by deceiving and pressurizing by the use of power or otherwise are called 'Paishach Marriages'.

8) Swayamvar:- These type of marriages were popular upto the medieval periods in India. The bride use to exercise her own will in choosing the groom. These types of marriages were popular among the people of kingly status.

As already indicated some of the marriages are solemnized in modern times also. In addition to this, court marriages are quite popular in the Western World. Court marriages in India are not common since they are not according to our social norms and oblivious too since contract of marriage is something more than a civil agreement between the partners. No law can promise happy married life since these are very private and personal matters.

In India, elders of both bride and groom take great care before engaging them to sacred wedlock. Normally family background of both the partners, difference between the age of bride and groom, income-height, their education, features, health, general behaviour and agreement between both boy and girl are taken into account before solemnizing the marriage. These are important factors for the happy married life between the boy and girl.

Mahurta For Education

Dr. Shanker Adawal (Jyotishaacharya, PHD, MBA)

Election of a day to stat the education of the child is helpful and beneficial though depending on the planetary position with which the child is born. Mahurta or election of a day for any type of higher education or starting the study of any subject is important. Hence the need to have proper and auspicious day for the purpose.

Tracing the origine of 'Vidya' or Education, it would suffice to say that the education also comprises study of Vedas, Vedangas, Dharamastras, ayurveda (medicine), music, political sciences apart from economic science. The education also includes elementary schooling and there after stuffy in colleges with reference to modern times. Professional courses also come within the ambit of 'education'. Be that as it may, the Mahurta (auspicious moment) need to be determined because each subject in which mastery is needed needs concentration. Guidance selected for commencing the study of a particular subject brings harmony with mental currents and natural forces.

To stat with a reference is made to the Nakshtras (Asterisms). The most important and beneficial Nakshtras ruling the day to start education are: Mrigsara (Mars), and Satbhisha Rahu. In other words, the Nakshtras of Mara and Rahu are considered good and auspicious. Some of the astrologers opine that Aswini is also best.

Nakshtras Rohini (Moon), Uttaraphalugi (Venus), Uttarashas-a (Sun) and Revti (Mercurry) are considered to be 'neutral' to start education.

Other Nakshtras ruling the day for staring education, Tuesdays and Saturdays should be avoided to the extent possible. Sunday is considered permissible if other planetary position is good. Therefore good days for stating education are Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.

The following this (Lunar days) are considered auspicious for stating education:

- 1st of dark half- 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 6th, 10th and 11th.

- But – 4th, 8th, 9th and 14th should be avoided. In addition, avoid New and Full Moon days.

With regard to rising Laganas (Ascendants), Lagan at the time sending to school or starting education should not be a fixed sign (Taurus, Leo, Scoropio and Acquarius). Common signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces) are considered to be best. Movable signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn) are considered 'ordinary' for purposes of starting education.

Following important Yogas for starting education may also be kept in mind.

Wednesday coinciding with Hasta Nakshtra (Moon) when Gemini or Virgo is rising and preferably the Sun, the Moon and Mercury should occupy the amsa of Mercurry.

Wednesday at Sun-rise when the Mercurry happens to be in its exaltation.

Wednesday when Mercury id in Lagna and occupies 3rd 'charan' (Pada) or Hasta (Moon).

Jupiter in deep exaltation in Lagna (Cancer ruled by the Moon) on days other than Saturday and Sunday.

Exalted Venus i.e. Friday when Pisces is rising and Venus occupies at 27 degrees.

Thursday when Jupiter is in the deep exaltation and Cancer Lagna is rising.

For starting education for-none i.e. latest be Noon is the best time.

With reference to a particular Lagna, malefic should be disposed in 3rd, 6th and 11th house.

The 8th house should be clan and unoccupied by benefic or malefic planets.

Importance Of Blood In Jyotisha

Dr. Shanker Adawal (Jyotishaacharya, PHD, MBA)

In Hindu Astrology, blood is ruled by the planets. Jupiter and Mars which cores of miles away from the royal planet, Sun in the orbit, Propitiation of Planet, Mars is ca co3 i.e. Calcium carbonate and for Jupiter is yellowish sapphire. Mars is fiery planet. In this context to get Mars liquidated, role of Moon is necessary. Conjunction of 8th or 12th house causes the diseases. Sun in the 8th houses or Sun, Mercury and Jupiter in the same place or in conjunction creates eye disease. For example Lagna – Leo, Moon-Leo, Venus (in 12th bhava position), Mercury, Ketu and Mars in Libra, Rahu in Aries, Jupiter in Scorpio, Sun in Virgo. Venus in 12th bhaba in the asterism of Ketu in Scorpio (2nd bhava). Sun in the 2nd house in the asterism of Moon who is the lord of 12th. 12th lord Moon in Lagna in the asterism of venus who is in 12th bhaba. All these indicates that his Lagna, 2nd and 12th house are afflicted. Venus, Sun, Moon and Rahu are primarily responsible for giving the eye trouble. For want of space I have not mentioned degree, asterism and the Dasha – Antardasha.

Chest Disease: This is reparation characterized by difficult breathing, cough etc. Gemini, Libra and Aquarius rashes rule breathing as they belong to airy sign. If these houses are afflicted one will fell difficulty in chest and lungs and also in breathing. Further Mercury, Moon and Rahu also rules over the chest and lungs. Any affliction of airy sign by the above plants caused chest trouble. Example – Lagna-Gemini, Rahu, Taraus, Sun and Jupiter and Virgo. Venus and Mercury in Libra, Ketu in Scorpio, Moon in Sagittarius. Saturn and Mars retrograde in Pisces.

Reasons: Lagna is Gemini, an airy sign afflicted by 6th Lord Mars and Rahu, Mercurry is hemmed between malefics is aspected by 6th Lord Mars. Libra sign (airy) is hemmed between malefics. Moon is afflicted by the 6th Lord Saturn, Rahu in 12th aspected 8th lord Saturn. These are the causes that native suffered from Cheats trouble.

Mental Disease: There are many combinations for insanity and mental diseases. Few are cited below :-

Sun in lagna, Mars in 7th house.

Saturn in lagna, Mars in 5th, 7th or 9th houses.

Weak Moon with Saturn in 6th or 12th house.

Moon and Saturn in one house aspected by Mars.

Mars in 4th house aspected by Sun.

Saturn in 4th house with Rahu or Ketu.

6th Lord and Saturn in Lagna.

Mars in 6th or 8th aspected or conjoined by Mercury.

Debilitated Moon in 4th, 6th, 8th, 12th and aspected by malefic like Saturn, Rahu, Mars.

Example:- Lagna-Scorpio, Jupiter –Taurus, Ketu in Gemini, Saturn (R) in Cancer, Mars in virgo, Rahu in Sagittarius, Venus in Capricorn Sun, Moon, Mercurry in Pisces. Sun in afflicted by malefic Mars and Mercury in Pisces. Sun ins afflicted by malefic Mars and Mercury who are the lord of the 6th and 8th Mercury id debilitated and is afflicted by 6th Lord Mars. Lagna Lord is aspected by Malefic Saturn. Weak Moon conjoined with Mercury, 5th house all is afflicted. The person was attacked from insanity in Venus Dasha and Antardasha of Mercury.

In this way medical Astrology can sight number of planetary condition from which able astrologer can find out the disease and period of occurrence. The subject is vast, it is quite impossible to describe everything details. It is just an attempt to shoe how Astrology can trace the disease simply from planetary configuration at birth.

How To Make Accurate Predictions

Dr. Shanker Adawal (Jyotishaacharya, PHD, MBA)

Do the Planets and stars have any influence on the lives of men? Though the scientists pooh it, the actual observations testify that Astrology (Science of Stars) is a science. Before going deep into the subject, let us try to understand as to hoe celestial bodies could affect the lives of the people. The celestial bodies could have direct contact with the bodies of the people in three ways- they being heat, light and gravitation. Though it is not clear as to how gravitation affects both body and mind, there is enough evidence to believe that it plays significant role in shaping the bodies of the beings. As the effect of light and heat on men, animals and planets is clearly known let us confine our discussion to this aspect only.

We get light from Stars, the Sun and the Moon and both light and heat from the Sun. because of the eccentric orbit of the Earth around the Sun season take place. The heat received from the Sun varies from season to season and they is why we get different fruits and vegetables in different season. In fact the heat received from the Sun varies every date and for that matter ever second. Though this slight change is not conspicuous in Plants its effects could be found in human begins. Similarly light is having a direct effect on human beings and plants. Certain colors are pleasant to the eye while some others strain. For instance blue and green are very pleasing and give happiness. Red color strains. For instance blue and green are very pleasing and give happiness. Red color strains the eye and causes fear to. Both pleasure and fear are related to mind. If the heat is very high as in peak of the summer we get irritated besides getting fatigue. Irritation and impatience are mind related phenomena.

Light is having direct effect on certain chemicals. For example Silver Nitrate and Silver Bromide get charred by exposure to light. This quality is taken advantage of in photography and that is how photos are taken. Ultra Violet light if applied in fixed doses could cure several skin diseases and disorders. Besides this, in Chemotherapy several color of light are used to cure several ailments.

Hemoglobin is the important component of the blood, and in turn iron is the main component of the blood. Solar Radiation which has full of Electro-magnetic waves influences the blood with its attraction for iron. In turn the whole body also gets affected. The property of Magnets to attract iron is taken advantage in Magneto Therapy.

It is a known fact that lunar light (Moon light) is responsible for several types of mental debility-hence the word 'Lunacy' (pertaining to Moon) Menstrual cycle of ladies also is controlled by the period of lunar month (about 27 days). Changes do occur in animal behavior with the phases of the Moon. All theses facts cleanly show that light and heat do have a direct bearing on the lives of the people. Astrology is the science which deals with the influence of celestial bodies on the lives of people. Let us try to understand as to how this occult science works.

The man does not become a full entity buy having life alone. When the living body has a soul then only it becomes a full entity. The visible signs of life are heart beat, respiration and response to five senses. During sleep the five senses temporarily withdraw but the heart beats and reparation are conspicuous showing that the person is alive. During the Samadhi state all the senses completely withdraw and even heart beat and respiration are completely stopped, which in medical terms is called Clinical Death. In normal course a dead body gets putrefaction after a few hours and Rigormotis takes place. But, for Yogi in Samadhi state even though all the senses, respiration and even heart beat completely stop amounting to clinical death, still the body does not get purification. He comes back to consciousness and becomes normal as per his preset wish. This is because of the existence of the Soul. This clearly shows that life is different from soul and when both of them exist in the body then only the man becomes a full entity. (In this connection it is to be noted that the fetus though has life and carries life functions, it could not be regarded as full entity as it has no soul). When the existence of soul is thus established let us try to understand as to how Astrology plays its part.

As per Hindu wisdom, the fetus is not a full entity as explained above. At the time of birth when head comes out the air passes through its nostrils with force resulting in the first cry of the baby. Hindus believe that the Soul enters the body of the new born with the first breath making the new born a full entity. The effect of the celestial bodies through their heat, light etc. As at the time of the first breath is cast in the genes of the new born. This is like the blue print of the programmed pre-set in a computer according to which the course of life of the new born takes place. By calculating the effect of the Celestial bodies as at the time of birth, the Astrologer is able to cast the horoscope and make his predictions or read his past and present. But as it is impossible to make cent per cent correct predictions, then how to ensure accuracy? Here comes the role of Palmistry. The lines in the palm are the coded blue print of the life of the new born. An experienced and scholarly Palmist could decode it and give predictions more accurately. If the scholar is an export both in astrology and Palmistry he could corroborate both the findings and thus make most accurate predictions.

History Of India And History To Follow - Astrologically

Dr. Shanker Adawal (Jyotishaacharya, PHD, MBA)

Saturn- the planet of destiny, is also representative of masses-the public at large. Democracy, that is government of the people by the people and for the people, had been under pressure and various thoughts have been given by the intelligential whether this form of Government would continue.

Before coming to the Dasha under which India has traveled after independence, with Taurus Lagna, it would be desirable to mention more about the planet of masses-Saturn. The aggrieved and down-trodden people come under the influence of Saturn though this Saturn is beneficial for some and bad for others. Saturn is natural malefic and is dreaded by the people-people in general are afraid to hear the name 'SANI'. It is not necessary that Saturn is a Yog karka Planet. It can make a person a head of the organization, community or county and in some cases it may make a person fall from the position. Cases of senior politicians and others holding high position of Ministers etc, and falling down are well known. Some of the cases are attributable to Saturn though other planets may have an equal role for the down-fall including the Dasha of the ruling planets.

Saturn is a beneficial and other social workers i.e. persons who work for masses and their welfare. Saturn is also helpful for those who believe in justice to mankind. Saturn dislikes hypocracy and dishonesty though theft and thieves also come under the umbrella of Saturn.

In individual's horoscope, it has been that 1st house of 10th house Saturn gives success and prosperity to the native late in life and that too after hard-work is another name for Saturn is a Yoga Karka planet and owns 4th and 5th house gives results with regard to house/conveyance etc but slowly. Now in India's horoscope (Chart for Independence say- Taurus Lagna), Saturn had played a vital role in the establishment of democracy and even with various odds, India has cerebrated 50th Independence Anniversary (August, 1997). Saturn has also largely contributed for the economic development though with failures in certain public projects. Making a news roads, new railway lines and bridges etc. for the common man are well known.

Inida was born with Saturn's Dasha of 15 years 11 months and some days. This major period of Saturn ended on 15th July, 1963. Mercury Maha-dasha ruled the country upto 15th July 1980 and Maha dasha of Ketu remained in operation upto 15th July 1987.

Concentration of 5 planets in 3rd house of India's chart in Cancer ruled by the Moon is well known and is indicated in the given horoscope. All there planets conjoined together have different nature and characteristics. This speak of many things including absence of creativity and confused thinking.

Neptune in Virgo (5 house) aspected by Mars from Gemini (2nd house) and also by Saturn from Cancer (3rd house) has been responsible for hypocritical behavior of political leader and others VIPs having a say in politics. Actually, all this resulted in deviation from the need development of the Nation in other words attention of the common man had been diverted by the leaders form time to time by raising hue and cry in the name 'Secularim'. Thus the basic problem remained without much progress.

Inter-criticism of parties and within the party members is also indicated by India's chart. Ketu, another Mars is in the 7th house (Scorpio-Sign of Mars). Double-Mars, Ketu-Mars influence (Nexus) normally devote strong force of disintegration. 7th house is also opposition but in India every body has become enemy of the other causing unwanted friction on small and petty matters just to keep up the ego of some leaders.

Sever had been the Saturn- representative of Democracy. Saturn become strong in Navamasa (Saturn in Lagna in own sing Capricorn). Saturn as indicated above, is Yoga-Karka Planet for Taurus Lagna.

Saturn is period practically proved good for the county under the Congress and ruled by the ablest Prime Minister Shri Jawahar Lal Nehru.

Now, Venus Maha-Dasha woul be in operation upto 15th July, 2007. Venus is the Lagna Lord and is also lord of 6th house. The Venus period upto 15.11.1990 say the fall of Congress and formation of Government (rather a weak Government) by Shri V.P.Sing. Adyodhy, Tamil ethnic and Kashmir issues continues to be confusing.

Period Venus-Sun (15.11.1991) saw the violent death of Shri Rajiv Gandhi and formation of Government by Congress which some- how managed the show till early 1996.

Venus-Rahu from 15.09.1994 and uncertainty to the stability of government increased giving constant signal for the fall Government. Venus in Ashlesha Nakstra ruled by Mercury lord of 2nd and 5th gave confused thinking and policies with regards to finance and social reforms. Rahu was capable of creating such thinking.

Now from 15.09.1997 to 15.02.2000 (Venus-Jupiter) the period would eventful:

1) The political situation will be at lowest ebb in India in 1998 and advantage may be taken by enemies on account (of inter-differences of opinion amongst leaders. Recent division of Janta DAL may pave way for victory of BJP and Congress.

2) Transit of Mars-Saturn-Rahu will crate tensions, earthquakes, cyclones apart from war-like situation among the political parties.

3) Rahu is a separative planet and supported by Saturn, seeds of disintegration sown early by anti-Indian person/nations may give rise to demand for separate States in the East and South.

4) Taking a cue from the point at (iii) above, the government, under the plea of secularism may appease minorities and may create a situation as of partition in 1947 though some elder will save the position from being worsened.

5) Mars entry in Libra in Jan, 1999 may not make 1999 as a good year. Combing with other planetary position, upto October, 1999, the following are indicated:

a) Party leader at the Centre may be opposed and may be involved in some scams/scandals and may also be labeled as traitors.

b) Dispute with China may be in news China again insisting on some boarder disputes. Indian political leaders to be careful while taking or negotiating with China on border-ad-justment Issue. Chances of China launching a missile attack on (India or the like cannot be rules out.

6) Saturn-Mars direct opposition (July-August, 1999) may force Pakistan to attack India or have substantial differences. Hence the need to be careful. Use of some type of weapons in North-West by Pakistan is also indicated.

7) Cabinet changes even the collapse of the Government id indicated but USA may come to India's help. The eastern States may demand independence and sub-service activities of Pakistan and China may come to light. Even some of the officials of the respective embassies/High Commissions may be in difficulties. Mars will be in Capricorn till Dec. 1999 and thus Indian conditions may not improve though India public may untie to fight a war-like conditions.

8) Saturn enters Taurus- india's Lagna on 26.05.2000 and Venus-Jupiter will come to an end on 15.05.2000. With Saturn's Antra in Venus Dasa, democracy will be re-established. With the change many political leaders may face serious charges. Even declaration of Emergency cannot be ruled out to pave way for the establishment of the Government-DEMOCRACY-Government for the people, of the people and by the people in the real sense. For this reestablishment, credit, among others may go to Shri Atal Bihari Vajpaee whose planetary position had been discussed separately provided GOD wills so.

Rahu and Ketu are shadowy planets. They are said to give effects according to the houses they occupy according to the planets they are associated with according to Laghu Prasari.

Know Your Profesion Via Astrology

Dr. Shanker Adawal (Jyotishaacharya, PHD, MBA)

1) I have already written broad details about the nature of profession/business to be determined with reference to birth chart and the houses to be considered for determining the nature of business. Normally it has been seen that the consulter would like to know what business/ profession would be suitable from. Him apart from other factors 10th house and 10th Lord are the most important. Now a reference shall be made to more minute details.

2) Nakshtra in which the person is born is equally important for the nature of business/ profession. As per certain classics, each Nakshtra has a different story to tell about the native with regards to his education and profession. As is known, there are 27 Nakshtras apart from Abhijit I will broadly deal with important factor.

I. Taking Aswini, Magha and Mula ruled by Ketu gives different profession when with Mars, Sun and Jupiter. This combination speaks of high position of females including joining of Administrative Service. Literary pursuits, artists, writers, doctors are produced by this combination.

II. Bharani, Purva-Phalguni and Purvashada ruled by Venus gives different results when associated with mars, Sun and Jupiter. This combination in general becomes responsible for tobacco business, doctors. Females under this combination have been seen to be Lecturers, bankers, and teachers. Religious preachers also are produced by this combination.

III. Kritika, uttaraphalguni and Uttarashada ruled by the Sun gives different results when in association with Venus, Mercury and Saturn. Engineers, doctors, financers, advertisement business and service in Universities and education institutions/ research institutions come under this combination. Ladies generally get to small scale industry, hospitals, models./actresses and also in banks and financial institutions.

IV. Rohini, Hasta and Saravana ruled by the Moon gives different results when associated with Venus, Mercury and Saturn. Rohini born are normally 'Jack of all and master of none, Generally chemical engineers, mechanical persons, industry and petroleum products come under this combination. Ladies get to service in hotels, agriculture, Psychlogy, dance ad fine arts.

V. Mrigsara, Chitra and Dhanishta ruled by Mars when associated with Venus, Mercury and Saturn give different results. Under this combination, company directors, financial advisers engineers/ textile technologists and scientists and historians come. For ladies, fine art/social service, nurses, actresses, lecturers are the normal fields.

VI. Ardra, Swati and Satbhisa are ruled by Rahu. It is not necessary that Rahu always gives bad results. It depend on its placement (some say it is exalted in Taurus and others say it is exalted in Gemini). Without entering into this discussion, it would suffice to say that when associated with Mercury, Venus and Saturn, it gives the profession of research work, shipping transport, goldsmith, drug sellers (chemists) and even astrology. For females. Electronics, drugs, sales – girls and in some cases lady doctors are indicated.

VII. Punarasu, Visakha and Purvabhadrapada is ruled by Jupiter when associated with Moon, Mars and Jupiter. Generally, theatre, arts, commerce, chemicals/drugs, books on history or prolonged articles come under this combination. For ladies, income for landed property, secretive agency, music, dance, typing work and teaching are indicated.

VIII. Ashlesha, Jeyshtha and Revti ruled by Mercury is capable of giving various professions when, Mars and Jupiter. Military/ Police Department, oil and liquids, trading, ancient culture including astrology and astronomy come under this combination. Females are expected to be telephone operators, receptionists and in some cases having administrative jobs.

3) Now a word about what the classics say. According top Servant Chintamani, sources of income should be declared from the planets occupying the 10th house from the Lagna (Ascendant) or from the Moon (Chandra Kundi) Stronger of the planet will determine the profession or business of the native. If there is no planet in the 10th house, support is to be taken from Natasha chart, Dasamasa Chart apart from Dreskone however, according to Manteshwara (Phaladeepka), the profession of the native is decided by the lord or the Navamsa occupied by the lord of the 10th house from the Lagna, from the Moon and the Sun (severally) who ever is the strongest. Be that as it may stress has been laid down on the benefic or malefic nature of the 10th Lord. Detailed significations have been given to planets and houses in Uttarakalmrita. Without analyzing in detail significations of the planets, I consider it necessary to mention few of the significations so far 10th house is concerned: Commerce, honor from the Government, Service, Agriculture, Teachers, Religious teachers and authoritative position. Here I may mention that it is for the astrologers to apply their mind before the ticklish question as to what would be 'My Profession' is answered. The judgment has to be left to the astrologer to pronounce results in view of horoscope before him, his experience and God-gifted institution.

4) As is clear from the above the role of the planets in determining the nature of profession and sources of income for livelihood cannot be ignored. It may not be possible for me to refer to possible contributions by all the planets. The Sun represents the top brass in old times as well in modern times i.e. the King (now President, Prime minister, etc. Members of political parties, Legislators, ministers) even Lawyers, Judges and Government servants including high officials. The sun in Scorpio or in Leo and at times in Aries is capable of mking the native a king say Prime Minister etc. from the past, I can quote, the Akbar the Great had sun in Scorpio, Alexander the Great had Sun in Leo, the Sun in Virgo produced person like Mhatama Gandhi, Adolf Hitler had both the Sun and Mars is Aries, and the Sun in Aquarius produced a great Astrologer Bangalore Suryanarian Rao.

5) Closely connected with Sun, I also refer to the position of the Sun in the horoscope of India and other political parties. In India's horoscope (Taurus as Lagna), the Sun was in Cancer with Venus, Saturn, Mercury and the Moon, in the horoscope of the Congress with Sagittarius Lagna, the Sun was in Scorpio and Mercury in Scorpio, in case of horoscope of Bhartya Janta Party (with Gemini as Lagna), the Sun was in Pisces and in the case of horoscope of Shive-Sena, the Sun was in Gemini with Cancer as Lagna. Though this information is not connected with profession but has been included as the politics has also come to stay as profession.

Dr. Shanker Adawal (Jyotishaacharya, PHD, MBA)

Nakshatra-based prediction are well known and a minute analysis of the degree of the Planet and Lagna tells many things and sufficiently accurately.

Faces become responsible for love marriages and other mutual attractions. Face indicates forehead, cheeks, chin, ears and general shape including that of the nose. What one has to do is to bring the face of the Native in any sign from Aries to Pisces and after knowing the sign, co-relate the characteristics with Lord of the sign i.e. the planet concerned- The Sun, The Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn. After that your knowledge about Nakshtra an what type of figure a specially on account of lines in the forehead including baldness.

Experiences In Astrology

Dr. Shanker Adawal (Jyotishaacharya, PHD, MBA)

While practicing and researching astrology we come across many type of experiences which are typical by nature. Here we will try to discuss some of those typical aspects regarding the health and disease of a person.

The twelve bhavas indicate twelve aspects of life. Whole of our body is also divided into 12 parts- each of which is under the portfolio of each of which is under the portfolio of each bhavas. In this way the 1st house indicated general health, personality appearance etc. along with the head specially.

The 2nd house indicated the throat and the adjacent area. The 3rd house indicates the shoulders. The chest is under the 4th house. The 5th indicates upper portion and the 6th lower part of abdomen. The 7th house is responsible of sex organs, whereas 8th indicates the hip portion, 9th correspondence to the upper part of the legs, 10th the 11th lower part of the legs and 12th indicated the food portion of both the legs.

On the whole the nature of illness or the loss of health is indicated by the 6th house, while for the general health of a person we should concentrate upon the Lagna Bhava and Lagna Lords. We can't expect good health if either of them is weak or influenced by malefic. Leo ascendant with 8th Lord Jupiter in it makes the native prone to migraine or sinus troubles. Mars in the ascendant, which should be other than Aries, Leo, Scorpio or Capricorn, renders in the native head injury, the degree of injury increase or decrease with the influence of malefic or decreases with influence of malefic or benefic aspected respectively on the ascendant. The native become physically strong, energetic and his resistance against diseases becomes very high, whenever the Lagna as well as the lord be well placed, well associated, and strong.

The 8th lord in the 6th house renders bad results as far as health is concerned i.e. Aquarius Lagna and Sun with Mercury in Cancer,' the native has the "Buddhaditya Yoga" in the 6th in spite of the yoga the native does not possess good health. She has faced bad diseases and has gone through operation more than once in her forty years of age.

The illness in regard to upper portion of the abdomen of a native causes whenever malefics influence the 5th house. Rahu or Ketu in the 5th indicates gastric troubles on the native when studying the Palm; the blackish finger the palm or the broker liver troubles.

Mercury being the 6th or 8th lord if associated with the 5th lord or the house. The native suffers servers' headache. The 5th Lord along with Mercury if associated with Saturn the native may suffer form brain Cancer. Example Aries Lagna with Moon in the cancer and Sun, Mercury, Saturn, Jupiter in Pieces. Here the 5th lord Sun is deposited along with the 6th lord Mercury and Saturn is associated with Jupiter in own house could not even help the situation.

Mercury in any house deposited in Moon star, the native generally suffers from Jaundice, in this respect I can site many examples such as Lagna in Pisces and Mercury in Taurus in Rahoni at a time the native suffered from Jaundice for not less than two years.

Venus is the Lagna Lord as well as the 6th Lord of Taurus Lagna ; in this case if Venus is deposited in the 12th in own star Bharani or in the 8th in own star Purvasadha makes one prone to sex oriented disease. Here the 6th lord Venus comes in the 8th which venders. Rogakarakatya, moreover the star lord is Venus so the chance of if sex oriented diseases is more.

Saturn if deposited in the Lagna with the same charana (Pada) of same Nakshatra renders the native a death after being bedridden for long time, example Cancer Lagna at 27.39 and Saturn in Cancer in 28 the Lagna as well as the Saturn are in the forth Charana (Pada) of Asiesha. The native suffered from paralysis for eleven long years before her death.

The 6th lord along with another malefic in the Lagna without the deposition or aspect of Lagna Lord, renders typical diseases in typical Organs. If the 6th Lord be Sun the diseases on the head, if it is Moon the diseases will be in the lips, in this way Mars renders in the throat and Mercury in the abdomen, if the aforesaid malefic in the abdomen, if the aforesaid malefic with the 6th lord be Rahu or Ketu the diseases will be in the liver.

Mars or Mercury being the Lagna Lord if become associated with Moon, Rahu or Saturn the native suffers from skin diseases.

In case of the female horoscope and female diseases we must calculate the strength of the 5th & 7th houses. Mars or debilitated Venus in the 5th or 7th renders Gynecological problem. The native gives birth to a child through operation, whenever the 5th house is aspected or associated by Mars, debilitated Rahu, aspected by Mars in the 5th renders childlessness to a female native.

In this way we see that the combination of different planets in different house renders different types of diseases. We will be able to help people more and more by studying and researching on this subject
