Some General Derivations

Important
This is a document for beginners of practical astrology. Even if you
learn this much only in astrology, you would be better than 50% of the
so-called astrologers. So learn and memorize the quotes present in this
document. This is the first stepping-stone for you in practical astrology.
The rule to be followed always is - if some rule of quote that does not
help you to arrive at definite results, then that rule or quote is not worth
your precious time wasting on it. Note that the results given here are
just general, learning to be specific, and arriving at clear and accurate
results demands more study and effort from your part. Start being practical in the study and application of astrology - and TRUST in its ability
to show us the future possibilities and trustworthy results. It is just the
BEGINNING to that goal. Remember the following rules 1. Apply these results to ANY chart in a general manner and
expect at least 60% accuracy in predicting general results. Use it
and note the results.

If you have this much basics clear, then you can read through the
following write-up and start applying them in natal charts. But always
remember, that these generalized derivations are given here only to
serve as a starting point for study of practical astrology; the definite
and specific results may vary. The general understanding about the
possible results helps us much in correcting our derivations and thus in
arriving at correct specific results. Never ever ignorantly start arguing
that these result should be like these only etc - because these generalizations for the weak brains are not even part of the basic 7fold system, but only a very simplified version of the same. But
definitely this could serve as a very good starting point to have a taste
of the usefulness and practical application of predictive astrology.
Another definite point to remember is that - the results mentioned
here can be expected to truly materialize only in the Vimsottari
dasa period of the planet concerned. Of course it can be applied in
other scenarios and as general prediction as well, but I wont suggest
the beginners to do the same as of now.

OK, now we are ready to take up the challenge of correct prediction for any chart with minimum study. The path begins......

As always generalization means simplification - which essentially

causes lose of specificness. Anomalies and corollaries would be always necessary to derive or pinpoint the exact results. Simplified generalizations have only one purpose - to serve as a good starting point to understand the approach, methodology and improve ourselves, in the
art of prediction - and to maintain the interest, with some fruits for
effort.

Basic Knowledge

Planets with Place-strength (Generalization)

Most of us are already aware that there are 12 Signs, 9 Grahas

(Sun, Moon, 5 planets, 2 nods), and 12 houses starting from Lagna
(Asc).

Generalization always demands the use of general terms. In this

section the general terms used are - exaltation, own house, friendly
house, neutral house, enimical house and debilitation, which may apply
to the same related to any planet.

2. Emphasis the results ONLY WHEN the dasa or antara matches.

3. DONT INSIST that all the results mentioned by you would
be true - because these are just simplified general derivations.

Planets are ascribed degrees of exaltation,, own signs, friends signs,

neutral signs, enemy signs and debilitation. The strength of a planets
decreases in order in these signs.
Signs starting from Lagna are termed houses. 6-8-12 houses are
known as Dustana (malefic houses) and the remaining Sustana (benefic houses).

1. Exaltation
Exaltation of any planet in general gives good results. (Of course
bad results also can be derived based on the same - which is not dealt
within here)

O i xVSSM i ix Mv{ {iEiiiix{n&

=nMhi Vi GE l x G ih vi E**
- n{E

OIjMii& E r xn S
{jV vxvxM nni VxxE**

[If a planet is in its exaltation, (in the dasa of that planet) the native
would be bestowed with many auspicious results and ownership of
prosperous land and property. He would be so wealthy that even kings
will appreciate his wealth. He would be very kind and compassionate
and will win the appreciation of others and will help them. Like the
great King Vikramaditya (Remember Chandra gupta Vikramaditya of
4th century AD), he would be very famous for his tactics, good qualities, courage, donations and tactful intelligence]

[If a planet is in friendly house, (in the dasa of that planet) the native
will have beneficial effects and results due to friends and relatives. He
will get many new friends, relations and connections. He will live a
good life with good wife, affectionate children and good wealth. He
will be appreciated by all and will get good public support in everything]

2. Own house
Planets in own house also usually give good results - but the question is what good results?. This is answers in the following verse.

xnMi O |{Oni |i{ OiiS\S |{x

x xIi{i E E Vx i {x& E x]ix{**
- n{E
[If a planet is in its own house, (in the dasa of that planet) the native will
get many rewards and respect from the wealthy and well-respected
people. He too will be wealthy; otherwise he will have a stable and
good family life (with wife, children and having good relation with many
relatives). In the period of that planet (in its own house), he will construct new house, purchase new property, or may even gain them from
some one (i.e. not purchasing but instead gaining due to heredity etc).
The public will respect him (and he will become popular in his native
place). What ever he lost in previous bad dasa periods will come back
to him (i.e. his life will again become study, peaceful and happy)]

3. Friendly house
Planets in friends house also usually give good results - but here
again the amount of good results becomes less, compared to own house
or exaltation. Again the question is - what good results? The answer
follows.

- n{E

4. Neutral house
Just like the word suggests, if the planet is in neutral house, then
neither too much good results nor too much bad results can be expected, the life would be neutral - a mix of good and bad. Or better the
planet in neutral house, just maintains the previous status co. The following quote clarifies this.

Il& J] x Ei E
J n&J Vxi l{S**
- n{E
[If the planet is in neutral house, it does not generate any special result.
Whether it be happiness or sadness - the results of previous period will
continue (i.e. if it was more sadness in the previous dasa then the same
condition will continue, if it was more happiness in the previous dasa
then the same will continue)]

5. Enimical house
Planets in enemys house gives bad results, even though not as bad
as a planet in debilitation. Again the question is what results? - a usual
doubt which gets clarified by the following quote-

Mi O jM xE]i {zk {xnli

+E\Sxi {{bx n xMv(+){ ii{i{x**
- n{E
[If the planet is in the enimical house, (in the dasa of that planet) the
native will have a tough time with all kinds of bad conditions. He will
have to suffer in many ways, will have to live by the food provided by

others (i.e. depending on others), may live in rented house or others

house. Poverty, troubles and suffering caused by enemies etc will also
be present. Even the loved ones will become enemies or the native
may start considering even the friends as enemies (during this period)]

6. Debilitation
The planet in debilitation certainly gives many bad results. (Of course
good results also can be derived based on the same - which is not dealt
within here). Again the question is - what results? The answer follows-

xSO(+)v&{ix k nx nSh{i&
xS EE]n iivxxilE**
- n{E
[If the planet is in debilitation, the native will suffer degradation in status and profession due to his own doings. He will be miserable, and will
develop bad habits. Debt, dependence on bad people, living in a dirty
place (a place about which the native is not at all feel satisfied), becoming servant to others, the hardships due to long travels etc all would be
present (If the native goes abroad during this period, he will suffer
abroad and the journey will not be fruitful at all in terms of benefit)]

malefics such as Ma, Sa, Su, Ra, Ke, Me with malefic and weak Moon

alone or with benefic are denoted by the word benefics. With this understanding about the terms malefics and benefics read the read and

These are the general primary understanding and conclusions to be
made in any horoscope when you first receive the horoscope itself.
If some one is unable to convey at least this much general understanding about the chart to the client, better not to say that he
is even a student of astrology.
Hope that this document would be helpful to the beginners who
sincerely want to learn and apply practical astrology. s
