Dr. S.C.Kursija, India
Astrology is capable of identifying human
character and behavior, including that of
anti‐social criminals who perform acts of
murder. The natal horoscope reveals one’s
innate predispositions and early
environmental influences, both of which
have a significant influence on human
development. Contemporary psycho‐
sociological research has repeatedly shown
that aggression and a lack of self‐control
are the greatest risk factors for criminal
behavior. These underlying traits are
clearly revealed in the birth charts of anti‐
social criminals. However, such
characteristics must be understood and
analyzed in a larger context, explicitly, the
interaction of Desh, Kala and Patra.
Desh is the environment under which the
native has been brought up, including
family, school, friends, and society at
large. Desh has a powerful influence on the
development of the native’s mind, and the
native’s environment nurtures what is
inherent in the natal horoscope. The
horoscope is examined with reference to
Desh, that is, prediction depends on an
understanding of the Desh under which a
particular native develops. Astrological
interpretation and prediction will vary
according to cultural customs and
expectations.
Kala refers to timing, that is, when certain
influences in the natal chart will fructify.
Kala is revealed by the dashas and transits.
One with aggressive and impulsive
tendencies will not act on these at all
times. His super‐ego developed under Desh will assert some control over his actions. In other
words, his free will and the influences around him will prevent his mind from going astray
at most times. However, during the dashas and transits of malefic planets, the environmental
influences may lose their control, leading the native to act on his aggression and impulses.
Therefore, Kala is also important.

Patra refers to the self, i.e., the individual, the horoscope, or the Lagna. The horoscope of an
individual indicates the tendencies for aggression and impulsiveness underlying criminal
behavior. In contemporary terminology, we may refer to this as genetic tendencies. Human
beings since prehistoric times have relied on the primitive instinct of aggression for survival.
Some natives who have developed super‐conscious minds are less aggressive, whereas others
with only the slightest provocation become aggressive and commit anti‐social acts.

The research work of a number of scientific scholars reflects a similar understanding of

nature and nurture in the development of criminal behavior. However, modern scientists are
not able to pinpoint the timing of such acts, whereas astrology is able to do so via an
interpretation of dashas and transits. No two individuals will react similarly to the same
stimuli, and such reactions depend on the interaction of Desh, Kala, and Patra. Moreover, the
native’s character and behavior can be modified, rectified and improved upon under certain
conditions because of the influence of free will. Ultimately, it is the responsibility of society
to provide such an environment to correct an individual’s behavior.

The following yogas reveal a number of potential indications for the characteristic aggression
and impulsivity underlying anti‐social criminal behavior:

1) The 4th house indicates one’s psychological and philosophical make‐up. Rahu in the 4th
house, if aspected by Mars in the Lagna and Saturn in the 7th house indicates a vengeful
nature.
2) The Upagraha Gulika in the 3rd house points to impulsive thoughts and behavior.
3) Lagna lord weak and afflicted.
1
4) A combination of the Sun and Mars in any rasi reveals a murderer.
5) Sarpa Yoga is formed by all malefics in three kendras and no benefics in the kendras.
2
The native with Sarpa Yoga becomes a murderer.
3
6) When the Sun and Mars occupy the Lagna, one becomes a murderer.
7) With Gulika is in the 9th house, one will be a murderer of his parents and preceptors.4
5 6
8) If born in Atiganda Yoga, the native will be murderer.
9) If born in the Dwadashamsha of Scorpio, the native will be a murderer and a master of
7
rogues and robbers.

10) If Jupiter is debilitated and aspected by a debilitated planet, the native will commit
8
crimes.
11) Debilitated Jupiter or the Sun in a kendra conjoined a malefic.
12) When a malefic planet is in a kendra without benefic aspect, and Jupiter is in the 8th
9
house, the native will be a slaughterer of animals.
13) Jupiter in the Lagna and Mars is in the 7th house, or vice versa, signifies an aggressive and
10
impulsive individual.
14) Saturn occupying the Lagna and Mars is in the 5th, 7th, or 9 th house.
15) If the 3rd lord is debilitated in the 6th house and aspected by a malefic planet, the native
will become aggressive and impulsive after drinking or taking drugs.
16) The native becomes impulsive and aggressive upon being punished by a government
official if the 2nd lord conjoins the Sun and Saturn.
17) The 2nd lord conjoined Mars and Saturn.
18) If the Sun and Moon occupy a trikona or the Lagna, Jupiter is in a kendra, and the kala
hora at birth is Saturn or Mars.
19) The Sun and Moon in the Lagna conjoined with Mercury.

In addition to the above, certain more general indications should be noted.

v It is commonly understood that the Lagna of the birth chart signifies the native.
However, because the Lagna encompasses 30 degrees of the rasi chart, certain Jyotish
classics like Saravali have specified a more precise significator to be the Dreshkona
(Drekana) of the Lagna. Other classics have specified the Navamsha of the Lagna to be a
more well‐defined significator of the self. Therefore, the D‐3 and D‐9 Varga charts are
important.
v In addition to the Lagna, the 3rd, 11th and 10th houses are also indicators of self.
v The Sun, significator of self, and the Moon, all‐important ruler of the mind and its
impulses, are treated as secondary Lagnas in Vedic astrology (Surya Lagna and Chandra
Lagna). For example, an afflicted Moon may indicate mental aberration and a lack of
self‐control ‐ as when the Moon is influenced by Mars, reckless and aggressive
behavior may be indicated.
v Mercury is another planet, which controls our nervous system. Though Mercury is
not read as a secondary Lagna in Indian astrology, its affliction weakens the nervous
system and reflects the potential for aggressive, vengeful and impulsive traits.
v One should also note the malefic argala, i.e., the presence of a malefic planet in the 2nd,
4th or 11th house from the Lagna or Moon.
v For microanalysis, one should also examine the D‐12 (Dwadashamsha) and the Cyclic
Trimshamsha (Parivritti D‐30).

In practice anti‐social criminal traits are indicated when malefic planets, without the
influence of benefic planets, influence the following:

 1. The Lagna and/or Lagna lord (Lagnesha).
2. Any of the Kendras—the 1st, 4th, 7th or 10th house.
3. The Moon or its dispositor.
4. The Navamshesh (the Lagna in the D‐9 chart).

The following case studies illustrate a number of combinations for aggression and
impulsivity. From these examples, it is apparent that anti‐social criminal behavior is more
likely to occur when an assortment of these astrological dynamics converge in the natal
horoscope.

Case 1
John Wayne Gacy was born in Chicago on March 17, 1942, at 00:49 CST, or 05:49 GMT,
CST being the time required by Illinois for birth registration even though War Time was
then in effect. Some hospitals did not follow this rule, so the actual birth time might have
been an hour later at 06:49 GMT.

The malefic planets are posited in three kendras (4th, 7th and 10th) and the Lagna lord is
afflicted in the 7th (as in the rules #3 and #5 above). Jupiter is afflicted by Saturn (a maraka in
the Chandra Lagna chart)) and is dispositor of the Sun and Moon (secondary Ascendants).
There is an exchange of houses between 3rd lord Saturn and 7th lord Venus, and Venus is a
maraka and the 12th Dusthana lord. The Moon is combust. The Lagna, Moon, 10th, 3rd and 11th
houses are the abodes of self. Thus, impulsive, vengeful and aggressive behavior is indicated.

330
Moreover, in the Navamsha chart, the Lagna is occupied by Rahu and aspected by Mars (rule
#1 above). The 10th house is occupied by Jupiter, Sun, Venus and Gulika and aspected by
Saturn. Again, the same aggressive and impulsive behavior is indicated.

Case 2
The chart is of a female born on July 1, 1961, at 11:25 AM, in Delhi. She was married at the age
of 21 to a young man whom she did not love. She was physically and emotionally attached to
another young man. She eventually murdered her husband.

331
The lagna lord is retrograde and combust and posited with 12th lord Sun in 10th house, the
house of action and Sun is karaka of the lagna also. The 3rd lord Mars is posited in 12th in the
sign of Sun with Rahu, the Mars is 8th lord also.the11th lord Moon is
posited with retrograde, debilitated and 7th lord Jupiter and
retrograde Saturn, the dispositor of Ketu and 6 lord. The 11th
th
th
house is occupied by Gulika. The 7 lord Jupiter is
th
retrograde, debilitate, posited in the 5 indicates love
marriage. The conjunction of 7th lord and 11th lord indicates
two marriages. The 7th house is aspected by Mars
th rd
from 12 and Saturn from 3 , no benefic aspect on 7th. All the
houses of self are afflicted. The 7th lord, 7th house and karaka
Jupiter for females are afflicted.

In navamsha chart, Mercury the lagna and 10th lord, is posited in lagna with Venus, the 10th
and 5th lord, Mars the 3rd lord, is posited in 6th, Moon the 11th lord, is posited in 8th aspected by
Saturn and Sun. Jupiter is posited in 4th in the sign of Mars. The houses of Self and action
are afflicted. So she committed the murder of her husband with the help of her lover..

Case 3
The native was born on March 8, 1924, at 3:35 AM, in Delhi. She killed her three children and
killed herself by hanging. The Lagna is occupied by Gulika and Mars (5th and 12th lord). The
Lagnesha occupies the 12th house and is aspected by retrograde Saturn (3rd aspect from the 10th
house since Saturn is retrograde). Saturn has a full aspect on the Moon in the 4th house from
the 10th aspect. The 6th lord Venus occupies the 5th house in Mars’s sign. The 10th lord is
combust in the 3rd house, and conjoined Sun and Ketu. The 11th house is occupied by Saturn.
Thus, all the houses of self are occupied by malefic planets, indicating a native who is

332
impulsive and aggressive. The 5th house of children is occupied by the 6th lord and aspected
by Rahu.

The 5th lord Mars occupies the Lagna with Gulika. The karaka of children, Jupiter, is posited
in the 12th house in malefic Mars’s sign. Therefore, the murder of children is indicated. The
8th lord Moon is posited in a dual sign in a kendra, and the Moon’s dispositor occupies the 12th
house and is aspected by Saturn.11

In the Navamsha chart, Mars and Rahu are conjoined in the 8th house in the sign of
Mercury, aspected by Saturn. The Lagna is in Mars’s sign, aspected by the Sun, Gulika and
12th lord Venus. There is no improvement in this chart.
Case 4
The native is a Muslim male born on July 5, 1962, at 16:52, in Delhi. He had premarital
relations with a young Brahmin female. Her brother took objection and killed him with the
help of his friend.

The reader may wish to refer to the author’s previous article titled “Suicide: Astrological
Investigation” in Saptarishis Astrology, Volume II.
333
The Lagna is in a malefic sign, and Lagnesha Mars and 8th and 11th lord Mercury are in the 7th
house aspecting the Lagna. Rahu is conjoined the 7th lord and the karaka of marriage, Venus.
Thus, the native loved a Brahmin girl. Lagna lord Mars is posited in 7th house in an enemy
sign with enemy Mercury. The Moon occupies the 10th house with Gulika in the fiery sign of
Leo, disposited by the Sun in the 8th house. The 3rd house is occupied by its lord, Saturn,
which is conjoined Ketu. Thus, the Lagna, Lagnesha, Sun, Moon and houses of self are
afflicted, indicating strong tendencies for aggression and impulsiveness. Note also that
Jupiter is retrograde.

In the Navamsha chart, the Lagna is again in a malefic sign, occupied by Rahu (true nodes
used) and Gulika and aspected by retrograde Saturn. Mars occupies the 4th house and is
aspected by Saturn. These are further indications for aggression and lack of self‐control.

334
Case 5
The native was born on April 2, 1959, at 10:12 AM, in Kanpur, India. The native was badly
behaved and unmanageable since childhood. He and a fellow student became adversarial
during a school election. The native lost the election and continued to harbor animosity
toward his classmate. After a couple of years, both took positions in an office in the same
city. The native’s vengeful feelings again stirred, and he eventually killed his former rival
(in Saturn‐Sun Dasa).

The Lagna is occupied by 6th and 11th lord Mars, aspected by 8th and 9th lord Saturn. Mars
aspects Rahu and Saturn; Saturn aspects Rahu; and Rahu is also aspected by the Sun and
Mercury. Mercury is Lagnesha, retrograde and combust. All the kendras are occupied by
malefic planets. Jupiter is also retrograde in Mars’s sign in the 6th house, and Jupiter is the
10th lord. Thus, the native is aggressive and impulsive.
The Lagna lord of the Navamsha chart occupies the 2nd house and is conjoined Mars is its own
sign. The Moon is in the 6th house, and Mercury is in the 12th house with enemy Jupiter. The
indicators of self are strongly influenced by malefic planets. The Moon has argala of Rahu
and the Sun. Therefore, there is no relief in the Navamsha chart.

335
Case 6
The native was born on September 1, 1970, at 23:35 PM, in Ajmer, India. He had a love affair
with a young woman. Her brother objected to this affair and killed the native with the help
of a friend.

The Lagna is Vargottama. The Lagna lord occupies the 6th house. Most of the malefic planets
are located in kendras without benefic aspect (and there are no benefic planets in kendras).
The Moon, 3rd lord, is combust in the 4th, and the 4th house is also occupied by Sun, Mars and
Ketu. Jupiter, 11th lord, occupies the 6th house. The 11th house is also occupied by Gulika.
Saturn, 10th lord, occupies the 12th house and aspects the 2nd, 6th and 9th houses. All the
indicators of the self are afflicted.

336
The Lagna of the Navamsha chart is disciplines are a proven remedy against

Moon and Gulika. The 4th house is
occupied by the Sun. Jupiter, Saturn and
Rahu are in the 8th house. Therefore, the
indications are strong for aggression, a lack
of self‐control, and thus, anti‐social
criminal behavior.

Murder is a form of criminal behavior that

has long been considered an aberration of
the social order. The Purusharthas, four
canonical aims of human life according to
Hindu philosophy, offer a deeper
understanding of the cause of this
deviation. The Purusharthas are:
1. Dharma (Righteous Purpose and
Path).
2. Artha Wealth and Resources).
3. Kama (Desire and Pleasure).
4. Moksha (Liberation).
Artha and Kama must support the goals of
Dharma and Moksha. However, in modern
materialistic culture, there is often an

Vedic: Vastu Vedha
Dosh-2
By
M. M. Mistry, India
V astu Vedha Dosh’ ‐ generally
Vedha is obstruction to the
building and Dosh are defects in
plot or building. Vastu Vedha Dosh can
also mean defects due to obstruction or
workmanship. These are simply listed
without offering any elaborated
explanation of the terms used by the
ancients in ‘VASTUNIGHANTU’ text
book, covering the chapter on Vastu
Vedha. The first part on the subject has
appeared in Vol2 of this magazine dated
May 2008.
The defects can be Natural or Manmade.
Natural defects are recorded in various
treatises covering: shape, size and slope of
the land or plot, nearby hill or ditch, water
body or a source of ground water. Vertical
obstructions can be a tree, a pole, a
building or a temple. Horizontal
obstructions such as a road perpendicular
or adjacent to the building or a plot, a
corner, a wall, a water channel and so on.
Man made defects can be categorized in
two: [1] Planning [2] Constructional.
1. Planning: The type of defects may
occur at design stage in respect of
orientation of functional spaces,
elements and components, design of
components, selection of horizontal
and vertical dimensions,
neighborhood buildings, roads, trees
and machines/machinery etc. and
shadow of tree or any tall structure.
2. Constructional: Heights of plinth,
rooms, lintels, floors and storey
heights; placement of obstructions to the penetration of light and air into the building. The
size of columns, beams and roofing components as well orientation of these elements and
components such as door sets and window sets. The elements acting as obstructions to
vision or are casting shadows at different hours of the day on the building or in the well.

F orty one types of Vedha Dosh are propounded and pointed out. The Vastu Dosh is
related to the piece of land‐plot and structure erected on it. The chapter on Vedha
Dosh emphasizes more on manmade obstructions than natural and construction
defects occurring during execution work. Vedha Dosh mostly manifests as a combination of
more than one error/ Vedha in the plot and structure. Natural Vedha is more powerful than
the man‐made.

Vedha Dosh can be categorized in to four

[a] Horizontal planes: orientation of rooms. Building elements and components and its
dimensions
[b] Vertical surfaces: building elements and components and its dimensions
[c] Apertures: openings like doors, windows, niches, lattices and
[d] Screens: walls, trees etc.

Terminology used in texts, covers very extensive and in depth meaning which shows
meticulous study. There by all building defects could be avoided by the Sthapati, Sutradhar,
Takshak, Vardhaki and other persons engaged in constructional activities. These are
rearranged in sequence of constructional mode of operations. The effort is made to interpret
the terminology in right sprit of constructional defects which may occur due to bad
workmanship practiced and carried out by the artisans on the site. These are enumerated as
under:

Planetary Yogas in
Astrology
By
O.P.Verma, India
It is presumed that astrology is as old as
the Vedas; therefore astrology holds the
place of pride in Hindu Vedic culture just
like Nature. Mythological stories available
in Puranas unfold the secrets of planets,
stars (Nakshatras) and signs (Rasis). In
Hari Vansha Purana the moon is said to be
having 28 wives, which are her lunar
mansions i.e. Nakshatras, the root concept
of vimashottri dasa system of
prognostication of events through Hindu
Astrology. These mythological stories are
narrated in an interesting manner and cast
a lasting impression on the reader. In
ancient times astrology was studied to
know karmic realities and obligations of
that particular incarnation and to know
one’s limitations of that particular birth.
Yogas
A unique characteristic of Indian astrology
are the yoga’s. Yoga’s are planetary
positions that lead to a certain result. In
Vedic astrology, the associations planets
form or variations of how they are placed
in the chart are referred to as Yogas. Yoga
means union, or that which joins or yokes.
Most yogas are composed of more than
one planet. There are literally thousands of
yoga’s. In India, an astrologer must know
them of by heart & for this the first thing .

bad, give an impetus to a particular area of life according to significations of these houses

planets) through out his life, while
there are many who have faced arishtas i.e. bad yogas through out their lives. Yogas and
Arishatas manifest jointly and commonly in the lives of most of the individuals be he a king
or an ordinary man. A king may have all the comforts but not a successor to his throne. An
ordinary man though not having kingly comforts, may have obedient progeny and this
phenomenon seems universal.

Now, let us start a logical and critical study of some of the yogas.

Bhadra Yoga

Bhadra yoga is formed, if a strong mercury is disposed in quadrant from the ascendant
identical with his exaltation, moola trikona or own sign. In this definition strong mercury
signifies that besides being strong by sign placement, he should also be strong other wise i.e.
he should not be combust or aspected by or conjoined by malefics etc. Mercury has to do
with characteristics like learning, intellectual development, communication, wealth and
generosity. Strong mercury represents the Vishnu element which is Sattva guna, yajnas and
philanthropy. Therefore, the individual

like greediness etc creep into Bhadra yoga
with aspects on mercury of bad planets or planets lording bad houses for mercury is tender
and pliable. The individual with a pure Bhadra youg is delicate, has lustrous skin, his arms,
chest, intestines or waist are well in shape.

Sasa Yoga

Sasa yoga is formed, if Saturn in strength occupies a quadrant from the Ascendant, identical
with his exaltation, moola trikona or own sign. Sasa yoga is formed only when either a
movable or a fixed sign rises as the Ascendant. The inherent evil nature of Saturn comes
into play particularly when this yoga is caused from the moon, for the moon sign is also
ascendant in Hindu astrology. The cruel sinful and mean nature of Saturn is quite evident
with the individual having this yoga and he employs every means to have an access to others
wealth. He has liaison with other’s woman due to his malicious sex out look. No doubt the
person is famous and prosperous but the element of greed and cruelty is always present with
him. The persons related to offices (especially govt), where the work can not be done
348
efficiently without taking bribe, usually do have Sasa yoga present in their charts. If moon
and mercury are otherwise well placed in the chart in a quadrant to Saturn, then the bad
attributes of Sasa yoga get vanquished largely.

Adhi Yoga
The yoga is lowered a little and loses some of its

occupy the 6th, 7th and 8th houses from
the moon; it is Chandradhiyoga or the moon’s Adhiyoga. The yoga is lowered a little and
loses some of its efficacy if the Sun is in opposition to the Moon and is with the benefics
forming the yoga. The benefics here means Mercury, Jupiter and Venus. There can be seven
configurations to this yoga ranging from one planet to three planets in the three houses the
6th, 7th and 8th houses. If one planet in strength is there, the native is prosperous through out
life; if two planets in strength, a minister and if three planets in strength, the native may
enjoy status of a king. If benefics forming Adhiyoga are aspected by or conjoined with the
malefics, the results mature belated and after strenuous efforts. See the following chart of
Sardar Vallabh Bhai Patel, the first home minister of democratic India and a freedom
fighter. The Adhiyoga is quite often found in the charts of the Judicial and administrative
officers.

Anapha Yoga

There is another very important yoga known as Anapha yoga, caused if there are planets,
except the Sun in the 12th house from the moon. An individual born under Anapha yoga is
virtuous, eloquent in speech, enjoys good food, drinks, robes and females, and is famous and
possesses a handsome body. He renounces the world in advanced age. Anapha yoga caused
due to debilitated plants will only yield adverse results. For example Venus in Virgo in the
12th from the moon causes immoral conduct at cost of physical comforts, health and long life;

emancipation.

placed in the 12th house from the luminaries affect the career of the individual and indicate
the profession and individuality of the person. The planet is called “the Scout planet”. If
Mercury is the second planet, the native’s course of action is related to the books,
communication, media conversations with coborns, neighbours and persons in immediate
environment. See the following chart of the contributor of this article, Mercury is rising
ahead of the sun. For comprehensive understanding of the yoga, the reader may have
recourse to author’s “Yogas, The Marvels of Hindu Astrology”, published by M/s Ranjam
Publications, 16 Ansari Road, Darya Ganj, New Delhi ‐2.

Vasumati Yoga

There is another very important yoga is known as Vasumati Yoga, frequently ignored even
by learned astrologers, it has been found to be giving its results without failure. If all the
planets are in the 3rd, 6th, 10th or 11th houses from the lagna or the Moon, Vasumati yoga is
caused. Vasumati yoga is chiefly concerned with wealth than any thing else. The yoga is
present freely even if the planets are in enemy signs. The wealth will
be proportionate to the number of natural benefics present in the
four houses. In the horoscope of the contributor of this article
this yoga is partially present.

Kapata Yoga

Kapata Yoga for deceiving disposition is caused if Mars and

Mercury are related or Saturn and Rahu be related especially when

350
one of them be in the 4th house or afflictions to the 4th house are there. Kapata is the product
of hardened emotions and desirous nature. The desires (Mars) compel the rational mind
(Mercury) to adopt wrong course; the accompanying condition is that the horoscope should
be weak from social angle i.e. Venus should be in destroyed condition. See the following
chart.

Saturn in Aries is highly greedy, so is Rahu in the 4th house. Moon in Cancer is afflicted and
Venus is destroyed by Mars and Saturn. Sun and Jupiter gave him lofty ambitions; being
less qualified, he tried to fulfill those unscrupulously and ultimately was lost in the middle.

Sanyasis (renunciates) have been commanding more respect than kings from time
immemorial. Sanyasis do have Raja yoga for fame, prosperity and kingly status but they
also have Pravarajya yoga as well, which lead them to know the final truth and thus lead the
world, on how to get rid of ones sorrows? The urge to know the ultimate truth emanates
from Saturn when he afflicts the mentality i.e. the Moon. In the horoscope of Swami
Vidyaranya who was instrumental in establishing the Vijayanagar Emperor in South India,

signify an element of benevolence for the cause of royal people. Mars in the third house
gave him unending energy for this cause.

Quadrants & Trines

All cardinal houses or quadrants in a chart are Vishnu sthana i.e., Houses Of Environment
and all trinal houses i.e., 1st, 5th and 9 th houses are called Lakshmi Sthanas or Houses Of
Merit. With the combination of both house factors, there is produced a Raja yoga i.e.
combination for prosperity ‘Arising Out Of Exploiting One’s Environment Through One’s
Merits’. This kind of Raja yogas are yogas for self created affluence. See the following chart

"Simple Rules of 4
Step Theory"
By
Sunil Gondhalekar, India.
(As submitted in Dec 2007)
In this theory only strong bhava's
represented by planet is taken for
considering prediction.
Rule 1:
(a1) If there are no other planets in the star
of this planet then the house in which the
planet resides will become the strong
significator of that house (Even if there are
other planets in that house).
(a2) If there are no other planets in the star
of this planet it becomes strong signifier of
the houses owned by it, provided there are
no other planets in that house. (Ignore
Uranus, Neptune & Pluto) else it becomes
secondary signifier of that house. KSK
(Krishnamurthy) says "Tenants are
stronger than owner".
(a3) If there are other planets in the stars
of this planet then it becomes only
secondary signifier of both the house it
resides in and of the houses it owns.
(a4) If the planet is in own stars (star lord
is same) then irrespective of other planets
being in its stars, it becomes strong
signifier of the house it resides in, even
though there are other planets in that
house. This planet will become the strong
signifier of the houses owned by it
provided those houses are empty.
This completes our First Step.
Rule 2:
A planet predominantly gives the results
indicated by its star lord.
This is the most important rule of KP. So
the house occupied by this star
lord is strongly signified, even though there are other planets in that
house. He however becomes strong significator of house owned if the houses are empty.

This completes our Second Step.

Rule 3:
KSK has invented "sub lord" and given importance whether planet will offer favorable ‐
unfavorable results. That means 'sub' has got capacity to give results. So consider same rules
we apply for the main planet, which is for step 1. So our Rule 3 is: for Step 3 apply same rules
as for step 1.

This completes our Third Step.

Rule 4:
KSK has mentioned in Reader No. 3 page 137, "If a planet is the significator of lagna bhava, it
gives long life, success in attempts, it helps to maintain good health, if the sub lord is not the
significator of 6 or 8 or 12". The word used by KSK is significator that means, to see his star
lord also. This is what I understood from KSK statement. Hence all the rules applicable to
step 2 will in totality apply to the 4th step.

Rule 5:
KSK has given importance to cusp of the house. So planet near to cusp (within orb of 30‐20')
affect the strong signification of that cusp. Even if planet is having star in it, it will offer the
cusp result strongly.

Rule 6:
While considering conjunction or aspect we will consider this with an orb of 30‐20'. Aspect
of planet is considered only on cusp with 30‐20' orb and not on house.

Rule 7:
When Rahu / Ketu is the star lord of a planet / sub, then it gives results of conjunction /
aspect / star lord / sign lord in ascending order.

Rule 8:
The event will materialize only when Dasa, Bhukti and Antara jointly strongly signify all
the 3 houses.

Rule 9:
If planet is totally negating the relative event's houses on step 3 – 4 then the Dasa will not
fructify the matter. If planet is the cuspal sub lord then the event will never happen. These
are the simple rules, if followed properly no need of RP is required.

355
 - Issue Matters –
According to KSK's teaching, the 5th sublord is considered. If it is the significator of the 2nd
or 5th or 11th house, then birth of a child is assured. Shri KSK also has recommended that a
Lady's chart should be preferably studied. Along with the houses 2, 5 & 11 the 9th (5th from
5th) is also a supporting house, in many cases. Now to time the event, we study the
following example.

In this chart Mars is the sub‐lord of the 5th cusp. The strong significations of this are:
* MARS :
Star Lord of Mars – Sun :4
Sub Lord of Mars ‐ Moon : 5‐1
Star Lord of Moon ‐ Merc :4

Here Mars has become principle significator of 5th in the 3rd step. So it is definite that the
lady will have children.

No Planet in stars of
Moon – Venus – Rahu ‐ Ketu

356
This lady was married on 15th Dec. 2003. At that time, the Dasa of Venus was running and it
was up to 13‐8‐2016. Let us find out whether the Dasa Lord Venus indicates child birth or not.
The signification of Venus is as under: ‐

• VENUS : 6‐11
Star Lord of Ven ‐ Sun :4
Sub Lord of Ven ‐ Moon : 5‐1
Star Lord of Ven ‐ Merc :4

Here Venus is the strong signifier of 5, and 11. Also he strongly signifies the adverse house 1,
4, 6. But since it is the signifier of 5 and 11, the dasa is favorable for child birth. She is already
married in that Dasa due to signification of 11 and also 5.

Now let us see the Bhukti. During marriage the Bhukti of Rahu from14‐10‐2003 upto 14‐10‐
2006 runs. Let us see the signification of Rahu.
* RAHU : 12 (Moon 5‐1)
Star Lord of Rahu – Jup :3‐9
Sub Lord of Rahu – Rahu : 12 (Moon 5 ‐ 1)
Star Lord of Rahu ‐ Jup :3‐9

Here the Bhukti Lord had become strong significator of the Main 5th house and also of the
supporting house no. 9. So child birth should take place in the Bhukti.
The Dasa Lord strongly signifies 5 and 11, the Bhukti Lord strongly signifies the 5th & 9th
house. So while selecting the Antara we will have to give preferences to some other planet
who has strong significator of 2nd house. The Antaras of the bhukti are as under (ENDING
DATES)

Rahu 26‐3‐2004
Jupiter 19‐8‐2004
Saturn 9‐2‐2005
Mercury 14‐7‐2005
Ketu 16‐9‐2005
Venus 18‐3‐2006
Moon 11‐8‐2006
Mars 14‐10‐2006

We have to respect Nature, and cannot consider child birth within 9 months of marriage. So
we do not consider the Jupiter antara. We will check the Antara lords after Jupiter.

* SATURN :
Star Lord of Sat ‐ Mar : 2‐10
Sub Lord of Sat ‐ Rahu : 12 (Moon 5‐1)
Star Lord of Rahu ‐ Jup : 3‐9

* MERCURY :
Star Lord of Merc ‐ Sat : 3‐7
Sub Lord of Merc ‐ Sat : ‐‐‐
Star Lord of Sat ‐ Mars : 2‐10

357
* + KETU : 6 (Sat 3‐7)
Star Lord of Ketu ‐ Sun : 4
Sub Lord of Ketu ‐ Jup : ‐‐‐
Star Lord of Jup ‐ Mars : 2‐10
Mars by his 4th house aspect, aspects
the 5th house and also Moon. So we
will have to take this into account
also, while finding significators of
the house. Hence Sat, Merc, Ket,
Ven, Rahu, Moon and Mars all
become strong significators of 2nd
and 5th houses. In such a case how
are we to select the correct Antara
Lord?. Here KSK's teaching that
Nodes are stronger than planets,
come to our rescues. On this basis
we select the Ketu Antara from 14‐7‐
2005 to 16‐9‐2005. In actuality a
female child was born on 8‐8‐2005,
by caesarian. This goes to prove the
KP principle Nodes are stronger
than planets.

Johannes Schöner (January 16, 1477 in
Karlstadt am Main – January 16, 1547 in
Nürnberg) (aka,
Johann Schönner, Jean Schönner, Joan
Schoenerus) was a renowned and respected
German Humanist Renaissance
Mathematicus. It is best to refer to him using
the usual 16th century Latin term
mathematicus as the areas of study to which
he devoted his life were very different from
those now considered to be the domain of the
mathematician. He made some of the oldest
globes still in existence. Some of them show
areas before they were discovered, like the
Magellan Strait and the Antarctic. He was an
astronomer, astrologer, geographer,
cosmographer, cartographer, mathematician,
globe and scientific instrument maker and
editor and publisher of scientific tests. In his
own time he enjoyed a European wide
reputation as an innovative and influential
globe maker and cosmographer and as one of
the continents leading and most authoritative
astrologers. Today he is remembered as an
influential pioneer in the history of globe
making and as a man who played a
significant role in the events that led up to the
publishing of Copernicus' "De revolutionibus"
in Nürnberg in 1543.

Dnyaneshwari
(The Philosophical Part)
By
V.V. Shirvaikar, USA.
Chapter 1
Arjuna’s Despondency
Obeisance
Obeisance to the Supreme Soul who is in
the form of AUM and whom only the
Vedas can describe. My obeisance to you
who is the Self and can only be
experienced. Oh God, you are the Ganesha,
who enables everybody's intellect to
understand everything. Thus says this
disciple of Shri Nivruttinath. (1:1‐2).
(Dnyaneshwar Maharaj then describes in
beautiful poetic style the form of Ganesha
the God of Knowledge and remover of all
obstacles comparing each part of the body to
some branch of knowledge. He then makes
obeisance to Sharada the Goddess of
learning and then praises his Guru
Nivruttinath ascribing to him the credit for
initiating the work and providing strength,
enthusiasm and sense of devotion for
fulfilling this immense task. He then extols
the qualities of the Gita which even great
Rishis respectfully read and enjoy. (1:3‐84)
Now the commentary on the Gita starts.
But note that this chapter does not contain
any philosophical part and readers may skip
it. However please read the notes below the
chapter.)
First Shloka Of Gita
Overcome by the love for his sons,
Dhritarashtra asks Sanjaya to describe the
situation on the righteous battlefield of
Kurukshetra (See notes at the end of the
chapter) where his sons and Pandavas have
gone to fight each other. (1:85‐87)
Sanjaya replied, "The Pandava army is agitated with fury like the waters at the time of the
Great Flood. Arranged in many strategic formations it looks horrible. (1:88, 91).

But Duryodhana looked at it scornfully and approaching Dronacharya remarked, "look at

the various strategic formations of the Pandava army. These have been done by
Drishtadumna, son of Drupada whom you taught and made an expert in the military arts.
(1:92‐95). There are other warriors also in their army of strength and capability comparable
those of Bhima and Arjuna. They include the great warrior Yuyudhan, Virat and the great
chariot‐warrior Drupad. Also to come are Chekitan, Dhrishtaketu, Kashiraj, Uttamouja
and the great king Shaibya. Abhimanyu the son of Subhadra looks like younger image of
Arjuna. Other sons of Draupadi as well as many other warriors have also come. (1:99‐102).

Now I shall mention also the names of the warriors

fighting on our side. Here is our granduncle
Bhishma with a capability as bright as sun.
This brave Karna is like a lion. Then we
also have the powerful stalwarts like
Kripacharya, Vikarna, Ashwathama,
Samitinjaya, Soumadatti and innumerable
other warriors. (1:103‐108, 109). Besides,
Granduncle Bhishma has been appointed
the chief of our army. His strength imparts
this army the appearance of a fort. Who
can face this army? On the other hand the
Pandava army is very small but even then
it appears huge to me. On top of it
that colossus Bhima has become the
chief of their army." (1:115‐120).

After talking thus to Dronacharya,

Duryodhana addressed the rest of the army
and calling upon them to arrange themselves in
proper formations, to arrange for protection of their own great chariot‐borne warriors
enjoined them to obey Bhishma. He also asked Dronacharya to protect Bhishma and give
him as much respect as they gave himself since the strength of the entire army depended on
Bhishma. (1:121‐125). Hearing this Bhishma was pleased and gave a battle cry and blew his
conch which frightened both the armies. (1:130).

Now listen to the happenings in the Pandava army. (1:137). Shri Krishna whose love for his
devotees is out of this world, is acting as Arjuna's charioteer out of love for him. Shri
Krishna blew his Panchjanya conch which silenced the war cries of the Kaurava army. This
was followed by the terrible sounds from Arjuna's conch and the conches of the other
Pandavas. Other warriors like Drupad, Kashiraj, Arjuna's sons, Satyaki, Dhrishatadyuman,
Shikhandi, Virat etc who also blew their conches, the sounds from which shook the earth.
(1:142‐143, 146‐153). The disoriented Kaurava army was brought under control by their leaders
who began to shower arrows on pandava army. (1:164‐165).

Feeling satisfied, Arjuna eagerly glanced at the army and when he saw the Kauravas ready
for war he slowly picked up his bow. Then he asked Shri Krishna to take his chariot quickly
360
in the middle of the two armies so that he could observe the great warriors come there to
fight. He said, "I must decide with whom I must choose to fight. These Kauravas generally
are of evil nature and though they have the eagerness for war they lack courage." (1:167‐
173). Thus reporting Arjuna's speech to Dhritarashtra, Sanjaya further described,

Arjuna's Despondency

Oh King, Shri Krishna brought the chariot in between the two armies where Bhishma,
Drona and other kings were waiting. Observing them, Arjuna said, "Shri Krishna, look.
These are all our own family members and teachers." Hearing this, Shri Krishna was
startled and thought, "What is this that has come in Arjuna's mind?” But he kept quiet.
(1:174‐179). Arjuna saw his teachers, grand uncle, relatives and friends, sons and grandsons
too, Arjuna was shaken and compassion arose in his mind and his warrior nature left him.
(1:180‐182). He said to Shri Krishna, "I see only our friends and relatives here. They have
come here for war but will it be proper for us also to do the same? I am confused and my
bow has fallen from my hands. (1:194‐198). If we have to kill the Kauravas then why should
we not kill my own brothers too? Both belong to our family. (1:207). It will be improper to
fight this war. (1:209). I am not interested in winning the war. What use is enjoying the
pleasures after killing these people? (1:210‐211). I shall be burdened with the sin of killing my
family members. (1:228)." Thus raving, Arjuna said that he was not going to touch any
weapon in this war because he found it improper. (1:233). The body for the pleasures of
which one wished for the kingdom, was itself short‐lived. When we know this why should
we not loathe it? (1:263). Overcome with grief Arjuna jumped from the chariot and threw his
bow and arrows on the ground. Uncontrollable tears started flowing from his eyes. (1:268,
272).

Dnyaneshwar Maharaj says, "Listen in the next chapter how Shri Krishna advises a grief
stricken Arjuna on the meaning of spiritual goal." (1:274).

________________________
Notes

Note 1: What is given in this chapter is a summary of the first

chapter of Dnyaneshwari which, as in the Gita, describes the
situation on the opening day of the Mahabharata war between
the Kauravas and Pandavas on the battlefield of Kurukshetra
(near modern Delhi). King Dhritarashtra (father of
Kauravas) being blind had requested Shri Krishna to fulfill
his wish to get the news about the progress of the war
sitting at home. Shri Krishna in the role of Bhagwan or God
(See below) has empowered Dhritarashtra's charioteer by a
Divine sight which enables him to see the battlefield scenario and
describe it to the blind king. The Gita itself starts with instruction given by Dhritarashtra to
Sanjaya to describe the battlefield scene on the opening day.

Shri Krishna as Bhagwan: The Gita or Bhagvadgita and Dnyaneshwari have been written
as a dialogue between Shri Krishna and Arjuna. In Mahabharata of which Gita is a part, Shri
Krishna is presented in the role of Bhagwan or almighty God in incarnate form. As readers
would have concluded from the Prologue given in May 2008 issue of Saptarishis Astrology,
361
the dialogue in Gita is not factual but a
composition added by Sauti to the
Mahabharata. During the lifetime of Shri
Krishna he was not considered as a god or an
incarnation of Vishnu. He was considered so
only many centuries later, but before Sauti's
time (450 BC). Thus, it is natural that the
additions made by Suta and Sauti to
Mahabharata refer to him as Bhagwan or
God and also suggest that people living at
that time knew him as an incarnation. This
has given rise to irrational situations in the
episodes in the Epic. Having assigned the
role of an avatar to Shri Krishna, he is
mentioned in Gita and Dnyaneshwari as
Bhagwan (God). In fact much of the advice
to Arjuna is rendered by Shri Krishna in this
from the titles as far as possible). The term
Yoga is derived from the root yuj which
means "to harness or to yoke". It is also used
to mean to join or to unite. It has also been
used to mean concentrate mind and
intellect. Thus Yoga would imply combining
i.e. Uniting the actions of the body and of
the mind (meditation, attitude etc.) to attain
a goal which to spiritual seekers is Self‐
realization. It is often used to mean union of
the individual soul or consciousness with the
Cosmic Spirit or Brahman through the
process of meditation. In Gita the term Yoga
is used more liberally to mean a system of
approach towards liberation or Self‐
realization which is the same as the union
with Brahman. This is how the terms
Jnyanayoga (or Yoga of Knowledge) and
Karmayoga (or Yoga of Action) have been
used. Reader should understand the implied
meaning from the context to avoid
confusion.
Popularly, the term Yoga is used for
Hathayoga which is a system of control of
the body through certain body postures
together with Pranayama or breath control.
However there are many other systems of
Yoga techniques in which one meditates
362
role of Bhagwan which Arjuna also
recognizes.
Note 2: Both Shri Krishna and Arjuna are
mentioned by various names in the
Bhagvadgita, but we shall maintain the
names Shri Krishna and Arjuna in this
translation for the sake of convenience.
Note 3: Use of the term YOGA The term
Yoga is used with different implied
meanings in the Gita. Sometimes this can be
very confusing. For example, title of each
chapter is described as yoga. Thus the first
chapter is named "Arjuna‐Vishada‐yoga"
which literally means "Yoga of Arjuna’s
despondency". (In this translation the term
yoga has been omitted
sitting in a single posture of sitting in
Padmasana (or lotus posture) or Sahajasana
(or easy posture also known as half‐lotus
posture), concentrating on a point in
between the eyebrows and sometimes on
breath, as prescribed by one’s teacher (see
Ch 6).
The Tao Teh King
The Tâo produces (all things) and nourishes them; it
produces them and does not claim them as its own; it does
all, and yet does not boast of it; it presides over all, and yet
does not control them. This is what is called 'The
mysterious Quality' (of the Tâo). - Chp 10.3
He who stands on his tiptoes does not stand firm; he who
stretches his legs does not walk (easily). (So), he who
displays himself does not shine; he who asserts his own
views is not distinguished; he who vaunts himself does not
find his merit acknowledged; he who is self-conceited has
no superiority allowed to him. Such conditions, viewed
from the standpoint of the Tâo, are like remnants of food,
or a tumour on the body, which all dislike. Hence those
who pursue (the course) of the Tâo do not adopt and allow
them –Chp 24

KumaraSwamiyam
-2
An Ancient Tamil Classic
Translated by
Viswalingam Padmanabhan,
India
T amil is one of the most ancient
Indian languages & there are many
classical Jyotisha secrets in Tamil
literature. One such is Kumaraswamiyam
& many scholars have given it his highest
pedestal. In Tamil language,
Kumaraswami means lord Muruga son of
Lord Shiva. Initially Lord Shiva is telling
astrology to Lord Muruga. He in return
passes it on to Rishi Agasthiyar that our
current deeds are based on past karma.
In the translation assignment, this author
has striven very hard to give below the
best possible translation from his
knowledge & trust many will agree. If
they have some corrections / suggestions
on the same, they can contact us. One will
appreciate & understand how difficult it is
to translate from a traditional epic given in
poetic Tamil of good olden days into
modern Tamil and then into English. It is
a very painstaking job that deserves
accolades.

Synopsis of the text (Noorpayan)

367
“The science of numbers and the niceties of literature
Are considered as two eyes for a contended life on earth.”
So said the famous personalities, Thiruvalluvar & Avvaiyar. Here
The numbers represent astrology & literature depicts the values of our life.

(Note: Lead a moral life as demanded by our ancient literature & use
Astrology for guidance.)

The life of Markandeya envisages that relentless efforts

Coupled with the grace of Lord Subrahmanya could
Even overrule one’s destiny and provide longevity & comforts as
Enjoyed by Indran, provided one has faith in Lord Subrahmanya.

(Note: Verse 619 of Thirukkural amply vouches the above thesis that
(6)
Sincere efforts can definitely yield fruits even if willed otherwise by
GOD)

Natural Epic ‐ Section (Kaaviyaviyar Padalam)

The resident of Pothigai Mount, Sage Agasthiar, although structured

By Lord Brahma as a dwarf, is an ardent lover of Tamil & he visits
Tiruchendur, the resort in Sandal wood mount for updating his
Knowledge of Tamil Literature from Lord Muruga.

An idea conceived in his mind to study the impact of environment

On human beings prompted Sage Agasthiar to appeal to Lord Muruga
To appraise him about astrological implications for enriching his
knowledge. (1)

Sukar Nadi -2
By
Saptarishis Astrology’s Team
M aharishi Suka1 imparted his
Jyotish knowledge to King
Parikshit for the benefit of future
generations. His teachings are also called
‘Suka Nadi.’ This work was originally
rendered in Sanskrit and later translated in
Tamil language by learned scholars. Now,
Saptarishi Astrology Team has made an
effort to translate it into English so that it
will be useful to all. We understand that
there can be some errors in our translation
for which we beg the pardon of scholars &
request them to submit the correct
translation.
It is believed that Sukar Rishi resided in a
place called Nedunkunram near Vandavasi,
North Arcot District, and Tamil Nadu.
There is a passage in that mountain which is
known as Sukar Nadhi (Sukar River).

Publishers Notes:
1) Moon in 1H here Sukar Rishi says ‘Native and the parent’s belief systems will be
different’. Please find below chart of an American native who has Moon in the 1st house and
he is a Hare Krishna Bhakt, that his and his parents belief systems are different.

2) Moon in 4H here Sukar Nadi says ‘harm to mother, if aspected by malefics, chance of
early loss of mother. But if aspected by benefics, no harm. Will learn higher education,
will earn reputation and respect like a king

_____

This is the chart of Italian Industrialist Gianni, the owner of Fiat Cars, see Moon is in 4H
with Mars a malefic being the 12th lord & dispositor of Gulika, and also 12H is 12th yr, 24th
year. So we can say that in the 24th/25th year 12H effects would come in the 4H of mother
where mother karaka moon is also there and he lost his mother at a very early age of 24/25.
Sukar Rishi says such a native will gain reputation & respect like a king which is what he
Gianni had.
Other Data: Curren, Catherine, 20th Mar 1986, 6.28 am, Stoneham, MA, USA, PiAsc, Moon
in 4H aspected by Mars. American noted family, the daughter of psychiatrists Judith and
Frank Curren. Catherine was age ten when her mom became Dr. Jack Kevorkian's 38th
assisted suicide, 8/15/1996.

Now see 3rd example from ADB software,
American youth whose father was charged
with killing the child's mother by driving
over her twice with his SUV on February 17,
2004 in their Halifax, MA driveway. Moon
in 4H with Ketu & Rahu, Sat, Ven aspect to
Moon, so as per Sukar Nadi the boy’s
mother should not live long which is what
happened. It was the 14th year in boy’s life
which means 2H (14‐12), and in 2H of family
there is 8L of death so a tragic incident in the
family of the boy in the 14th year can be
hinted at.

The Sun and the Moon located in the

aspected to benefics, produce the same
effect if the Moon and Venus be well
dignified.
