Avoiding financial losses with Vedic astrology
In astronomy, the words Pancham Shani, Saade Saati or Dhaiya
can be as terrifying to believers as a physical blow. These words are not
considered good and it all results because of the position of Saturn. It is
evident that people who are under the Pancham Shani experience great financial
crisis and losses while their expenses tend to rise.
Adhi yoga and Dur yoga.
What is adhi yoga and
dur yoga?
Adhi Yoga and Dur Yoga are two of the important Yogas in Vedic
astrology. Yoga means a combination of planets formed in a birth chart. Adhi
yoga is formed if any plane occupies the 6th, 7th and 8th
house in the birth chart. According to the shloka 42 in Hindu astrology, when
benefic planets occupy these houses reckoned from the Lagna or Moon in birth
chart, a commander, a minister or a ruler is born. People born in the adhi yoga
prosper and become very famous. According to shloka 43, the person born in adhiyoga
becomes the lord of men and lives wealthily throughout his life. He will feed
many of his relatives, overpower his enemies and enjoy a long life with
prosperity and fame.
Characteristics of a
person born in adhi yoga
If the benefic planets occupy the 6th, 7th
and 8th house in lagna chart then lagnadhi yoga is formed and if the
same happens in moon chart then chandrahi yoga is formed. Adhi yoga gives a
person the potential to
Are Astrology and Vastu related ?
Astrology and Vastu are related in many ways. Both spring
from the Hindu scriptures, both are meant to improve a person’s life and both
help solve problems based on rules and principles. Just as planets and yogas influence
a person as per astrology, vastu principles related to residential and office
premises affect a person too. Many problems can be solved by remedying
unfavorable signs and planets as per astrology principles and by correcting vastu
defects in homes and offices. Remember, vastu can give great results only if it
is combined with astrology and after seeing how a person’s stars and planets
influence him. Now let us understand vastu in brief.
Vastu in brief
According to vastu, a proper planning of a building is
required to derive geomagnetic forces and gain positive energy with the help of
light, spaciousness, air and aura. Some of the basic rules of vastu for a home
is to
Significance of Sun in Horoscope
Known as the father of the whole solar
system, Sun is worshiped as the Almighty and Lord that has extreme power and
gravitational force. He is not only vital to the planets in universe but also
to the life of human beings. It takes approximately 365 days for sun to travel
through all zodiacs and spends a month in each sign. This is how the zodiacs
were divided into 30-degrees.
Lagna Chart
There are in all 16 charts according to Indian astrology, however only 3 are mostly studied – the ascendant or lagna chart,
moon chart and sun chart. The most accurate predictions are made using lagna
chart. The lagna chart is divided in 12 ‘rashis’ or houses and the 9 planets
are positioned in these houses as they were during a person’s birth. Whether
the effect of planets would be favorable or unfavorable depends on the way they
are positioned in the houses in the lagna chart.
Western or Placidus system of house division
Horoscopes are divided into 12 divisions known ashouses. These houses are usually divided into 30-degrees because the sun
usually spends about 30 days in each house. However, in the western or placidus
system the houses are divided in varying degrees as the sun never stays in the
house for same period.
As the earth
rotates around its axis, there is day in some parts and night in some, so there
are stars rising in east and setting in west. The eastern horizon is calculated
as the first house and the western horizon is calculated as the 7th
house. The northern point above the head, also known as the mid heaven, is the
10th house. In Indian astrology, the rising point, setting point and
mid heaven point are always considered as the centre of the house whereas in
the western or placidus system they are considered as the starting points of
the houses.
Gajkesari Yoga and Chandra Mangal Yoga
The word yoga in Sanskrit means connection. Any yoga in a
horoscope depicts conjunction of any two planets which may either be due to
their placement in any house or mutual aspect. The conjunction actually alters
the qualities of either planet.
GajKesari
yoga is formed when
Jupiter is placed in ascendant, fourth, seventh and tenth house from the moon
or Jupiter is placed in Kendra i.e. Ascendant, fourth, seventh and tenth house
from ascendant. But some astrologers believe that this yoga can also be formed
when Venus or mercury is present in Kendra from moon.
Relevance of Planet, House and Rashi in a Chart
A chart is the
pictorial representation of planetary positions at the time of birth of the
native. Although native lives on earth but nine planets of the universe have a
remarkable effect on him. Every planet is associated with a particular amount
of energy and that energy is released during particular duration called the Dasha
and the results are always in correspondence to the house in which that
particular planet is placed. Planets can be categorized into Personal planets
and Collective planets.
Personal planets travel through one zodiac
sign to another within short duration of time and release their energies with
great variability. These include the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus and Mars.
Whereas, the collective planets travel at relatively slower rate and they
possess the ability to influence many generations of the native.
Dasha or period in Astrology
Astrology is a
science of predicting events in the life of an individual. Those events would
not knock the door of the native randomly, but at specific age. This time
specific prediction is based on Dasha system.
According to Vedic
astrology, effect of nine planets on the native is taken into consideration.
But all these planets are not active at the same time. They show their
influence with time. So the period, during which any particular planet is most effective,
is termed as Dasha of particular period. The auspicious planets in the
horoscope or auspicious combinations either due to their placement or aspect
become fruitful during Dashas of particular planet.
Why is a house calculated in astrology
Every planet plays a pivotal role in a person’s life. However the
planets don’t have a similar effect on all human beings, they give results
according to the houses and signs they are placed in. When a horoscope is
prepared, the planets are positioned as per the time, place and date of birth.
While casting horoscope, two charts are prepared, lagna chart and chalit chart.
The lagna chart informs about the sign in which the planet is positioned
whereas the chalit chart sheds light on the house in which they are placed.
Division of House in Astrology
In astrology a house is found out by dividing the
Zodiac. The circle of zodiac is divided into twelve equal parts known as a
house in astrology. This division gives different houses and the location of planets in them
is decided on the basis of date of birth, place of birth and time of birth of a
person. Date and time of birth gives the respective position of the planets at
that point. The place of birth helps an astrologer to determine the longitude
and latitude of that place so that this point may be fixed in relationship with
the planets.
What is zodiac?
They also have signs attached to them and they are closely
related to the way Earth moves in the universe. The dates of horoscope
correspond to the position of constellation when sun passes through them.
What is a house in horoscope ?
The house in horoscope, also known
as “bhavas” or “sthanas’ in Sanskrit, are the outer indication of Zodiac signs
that reveal a person’s nature, career path, love life and much more. Each
zodiac sign has a house assigned and the houses are calculated based on the
time of birth.
Different Styles of Houses
In Vedic astrology, the houses are
always identical to the 30-degrees of a sign whereas in the western astrology,
the signs may span over two houses, forming a cusp.
What is difference between North Indian and South Indian horoscope styles?
The Indian Vedic astrology is divided into two main styles, the North Indian horoscope style and the South Indian Horoscope style. The
North Indian horoscope style is a house-based chart whereas the South Indian
horoscope is sign-based. Let us understand the differences between these two
horoscope styles.How to cast a horoscope?
Horoscope is cast looking at celestial energies and patterns of
heavenly bodies such as sun, moon, stars and planets. So a person’s horoscope
chart will be a picture of heaven at the time of his or her birth. This can be
determined from the position of celestial bodies during a person’s birth date,
time and place.
Calculation of
Horoscope Chart: There is immense importance of time of birth in astrology. The time of birth depends on the place of birth as LMT or
Local Mean Time is used while casting horoscope. So if you are born in Mumbai
at 4:11 am IST, the time will be first converted into LMT.
The importance of Place of Birth in Astrology
The three most important determinants while casting a horoscope are
date of birth, exact time of birth and place of birth. Only if these three are
provided accurately, one can determine the position of celestial beings and
longitude and latitude of earth. Let us understand in detail why place of birth
is important in astrology.
Effect of sun: It is quite obvious that the place of birth determines the effect of
sun. For instance, if you were born in India in morning, it would be night in the
US or evening in the UK. Sun is an important celestial object in astrology and
hence it is important to know the place of birth to determine the effect of sun
in that area during the time and day of your birth.
Indian National Calendar
The Indian National Calendar also known as
the Saka Calendar or Hindu calendar is the official civil calendar used in
India. The Saka Calendar is derived from ancient Hindu Lunisolar calendars. It
also has some influence of Persian calendar. King Kanishka started the Saka
calendar in 78AD. It comprises of 12 months, just like the Gregorian calendar,
but its structure is quite different from Gregorian structure. For instance,
the first month, Chaitra, starts from March 21st or 22nd
of Gregorian Calendar and the last month, Falgun, ends in February 20 or 21st.
What is a Gregorian calendar or the western calendar
Gregorian calendar is the most accepted calendar
internationally. It was introduced by Pope Gregory XIII on 24 Feb 1582. This calendar was
started to rectify the anomalies in Julian calendar. The Julian calendar assumed that a year was
based on 362.25 days; however a year was actually 11 minutes shorter than this
duration. As a result there was an error of approximately 3 days in a cycle of
400 years. At the time when Gregorian calendar came into existence this error
in days had already reached 10 days.
What is Vedic Astrology?
As we know, we all are souls
incarnating into human bodies. The events occurring in our lives are a
reflection of karmas performed by us in previous births. The influence of
karmas of past births and planetary positions on us is depicted by astrology.
The term Vedic means derived from Vedas, “The ancient Scriptures” written by
profoundly wise people in India. These scriptures were based on all the aspects
of world which influence the belief system and life style of any person. So,
Vedic astrology is based on spiritual, economic, social and cultural and
technological aspects of one’s life. It is said to be founded by a sage of
ancient times, Maharishi Prasara.
