unique & new in India. He has been
thoroughly studying medical astrology

redicting timing of events is a

challenge for any astrologer. Its
a general practice to look at
Vimshottari dasa of 7H Lord and
planets connect to 7H, gochar (transit)
of Jupiter in connection with 7H and its
Lord. But its observed by many
astrologers that you cannot have
accuracy of more than 60% using these
techniques. When I have started
analysis of charts and timing of events
using the method that will be presented,
I found it working very well in more
than 90% of the charts.
Lets analyze the rules one by one. First
we will study how through Jaimini
system and gochar of Saturn/Mars and
Jupiter are used to make predictions
about the time of fructification of the
marriage event.

Rules for predicting marriage

Broad Rule: Transit of Saturn, Mars and Jupiter connected with 7H, AL and UL or its
Lords. These conditions are MANDATORY. AL, UL and its Lords should be noted as
well.
Rule 1: Transit Saturn should aspect UL or its Lord, or be transiting on UL or its
trines. During this transit Saturn should aspect his natal position or Jupiter/Mars or
both.
Rule 2: Transit Mars should have connection with the factors mentioned in Rule 1.
Rule 3: Transit Jupiter should aspect AL or its Lord as well as 7H/7H Lord.
Rule 4: Darakaraka will be connected by one or many ways with the houses and lords
indicated in the 3 rules above.

Rule 5: Chara Dasa running at the moment of marriage should be connected with the
above parameters.
Rule 6: Chara Dasa rashi Maha dasha (MD) and Antar Dasha (AD) should receive
argala from Darakaraka and/or their respective lords (MD and AD lords).

Case Studies
Example 1 - Case 1: D.O.B.: July 26, 1973 at 21:48:10. Machilipatnam, India.

Marriage on: January 24, 1999.

Her Lagna is Meena, AL is Vrishchika, UL is Tula and DK is Mercury. Transit Saturn
was in Mesh at that time. So UL is aspected being in 7H from Saturn, both natal
Jupiter in Makara and natal Saturn in Mithuna are aspected by Saturns 10th and 3rd
aspects. Transit Mars was in Tula in UL aspecting natal Jupiter in 4H from him and
transiting Saturn (in Mesha at that time). Jupiter was transiting Meena over the natal
AL Lord (Mars) aspecting 7H, DK and AL as well.
Chara dasa running at the moment was Tula/Meena. UL is placed in Libra and Pisces
receives aspects from transit Saturn and Jupiter. Mars was transiting UL aspecting
Jupiter (AD lord).
MD rashi gets argala from its lord Venus, which is also UL Lord. AD rashi gets argala
from its lord (Jupiter) placed in 11H therefrom and Darakaraka Mercury from 5H.

Example 2 - Case 2: D.O.B.: April 4, 1970 at 17:47:08, Machilipatnam, India.

Marriage on: August 1, 1993.

Lagna is Kanya, AL is Vrishchika, UL is Tula and DK is Mercury. Transit Saturn was
in Kumbha in trine to UL, aspecting AL through 10rd house aspect and UL Lord Venus,
AL Lord Mars and DK Mercury via 3rd house aspect. Jupiter and Mars were transiting

Kanya aspecting 7H, UL lord, DK and AL. Natal Jupiter aspects transiting Saturn and
both natal Saturn and Mars are casting their aspect to AL, UL Lord and Darakaraka.
Chara Dasa was Dhanu/Meena. Both rashis are ruled by Jupiter, which is placed with
UL in 2H. Pisces is the 7H from Lagna. Transit Saturn, Jupiter and Mars are
connected with the rashis activated in Chara Dasha.
Dhanu gets argala from UL and MD Lord Jupiter from 11H there from. Upapada Lord
and Darakaraka are also intervening from the 5H from MD sign.

Example 3 - Case 3: D.O.B.: September 12, 1971 at 8:25, Guntur, India.

Marriage on: August 1, 1993.

Tula Lagna, AL is Mithuna, UL is Karka and DK is Jupiter. Transit Saturn is in
Kumbha, in trine to AL and aspects 7H, DK Jupiter, and AL Lord Mercury. Also Natal
Saturn with UL lord aspects transit Saturn. Mars and Jupiter are transiting Kanya,
aspecting 7H, UL Lord Moon, natal Mars and Saturn. Thus transit Saturn, Jupiter and
Mars are in connection with natal Jupiter, Mars and Saturn.
Chara dasa running was Dhanu/Kumbha. MD Lord Jupiter is the Darakaraka
aspecting both UL Lord (Moon) and AD Lord (Saturn). Transit Saturn was in
Aquarius, and both Jupiter and Mars were transiting Virgo sign aspecting Sagittarius

by rashi drishti. Hence, both rashis are connected with transiting Jupiter, Mars and
Saturn.
MD rashi gets argala from UL (8H therefrom). AD rashi gets argala from its lord
Saturn and UL Lord Moon placed in the 4H from there.

Example 4 - Case 4: D.O.B.: October 5, 1970 at 12:32pm. 80E21 18N48 (TZ: 5:30E)

Marriage on: January 1, 1999.

Lagna is Dhanu, AL is Simha, UL is Kumbha and DK is Mercury. At the time of
marriage Saturn was in Mesha in trine to AL and Mars. He was transiting over his
natal position, activating UL Lord (Saturn itself) and aspecting natal Jupiter by its 7H
aspect. Transit Jupiter and Mars were in Meena aspecting 7H, DK& 7L Mercury and
AL Lord Sun. All the connections are well established in this case. Seventh house was
fully activated by transit Jupiter, Saturn and Mars.
Chara dasa running was in Tula/Simha. AL is in Leo and UL is in Aquarius (7H from
Leo), UL Lord Saturn is also aspecting MD rashi. In transit, all the three important
planets are related with AD rashi.
MD rashi gets argala from UL from 5H therefrom and UL Lord by its 7H aspect. AD
rashi gets argala from its lord and Darakaraka from 2H.

Example 5 - Case 5: D.O.B.: July 13, 1975 at 16:24:10, Eluru, India.

in Vrishabha in 7th house and trine to AL. Jupiter was also transiting Vrishabha and
aspecting AL. Mars was in Vrishchika aspecting 7H and transiting Jupiter/Saturn
(both placed in Vrishabha) were connected with AL. Now, transit Mars, under heavy
influence of Jupiter and Saturn, aspects DK, its Lord and UL through its 8H aspect.
So, all the requirements were present at the time of marriage.
Chara Dasa running was Karka/Dhanu. MD Lord Moon is placed with A7 (Leo) and
7L. Moon is also aspected by Saturn from UL rashi via 3H aspect carrying the
influence of DK Mercury (conjunct Saturn in Mithuna). AD rashi is 7H from UL and
its lord aspects both UL and AD rashi via rashi drishti, and MD rashi by 5H aspect.
Transit Saturn aspects MD rashi and transit Mars was being aspected by AD Lord
Jupiter by its 9H aspect.
MD rashi gets argala from its lord from 2H therefrom and AD rashi gets Jupiters
argala from 5H therefrom.

Saturn and Jupiter were transiting over Vrishabha and DK Mercury. Mars was in
Vrishchika in the 7H from both planets. Mars was in Vrishchika aspecting Darakaraka,
and transiting Saturn and Jupiter.
Chara Dasa running was Vrishabha/Karka. Taurus has Mercury (DK) and transiting
Saturn and Jupiter. Transit Saturn also aspects AD rashi Cancer and natal Saturn.
Transit Mars was aspecting Vrishabha. Hence Chara Dasa running at the moment of
marriage is connected with all the three major planets in this regard (viz. Mars, Jupiter
and Saturn).
MD rashi and Darakaraka gets argala from its lord Venus and UL Lord from 11H from
it. AD gets argala from Darakaraka and MD from 11H.

transiting Simha making a conjunction with natal Jupiter (DK and 7L). He was also
aspecting UL, transiting Saturn, AL and UL Lord Saturn by its 7H and 8H aspects.
Transit Jupiter was aspecting AL and UL Lord. By transit, Saturn, Mars and Jupiter
are making several connections with AL, UL and UL Lord. DK was also activated by
transit.
Chara Dasa running was Meena/Kumbha. Pisces contains AL and Saturn, being
Pisces Lord the DK. Aquarius rashi is UL and is aspected by DK Jupiter from 7H
therefrom. The three major planets are connected with the rashis activated via Chara
Dasha.
AD rashi gets argala from its lord (UL Lord Saturn) from MD rashi from 2H from UL
rashi Aquarius.

Example 8 - Case 9: D.O.B.: September 26, 1974 at 7:35. Machilipatnam, India.

though his 3H aspect, and DK, AL, Mercury and transit Mars by its 7H aspect. Transit
Mars was in Tula (Lagna) conjunct DK and AL lord Mercury. Via 7H aspect he was
also activating transit Saturn. Transit Jupiter aspects UL, 7L Mars and UL. Natal
Mars and Saturn are aspecting transit Jupiter and UL Lagna lord. Furthermore, both
planets are aspecting transit Saturn in 7H (Mesha). In this way, 7H and all the
important parameters for this particular event are influenced by transiting Saturn,
Mars and Jupiter.
Chara dasa running was Makara/Simha. MD rashi Lord contains AL and was being
aspected by transit Saturn by its 3H aspect. Transit Mars aspects MD rashi and transit
Jupiter aspects MD Lord via rashi drishti. AD Lord Sun is with UL Lord Mars aspected

aspecting natal Jupiter by its 10H aspect. Transit Mars was in Mesha (7L Ketu
placement) aspecting UL, AL and natal 7L Mars by its 4H aspect. He was making a
connection to natal and transit position of Saturn via its 8H aspect (Vrishchika).
Transit Jupiter was in Meena aspecting AL, UL, natal 7L in Karka and Saturn in
Vrishchika. In this way, 7H and all its parameters were connected by transit to natal
Saturn, Mars and Jupiter at the time of the event.
Chara Dasa running was Vrishchika/Vrishchika, which is the 7H from Lagna and has
its Lord placed in UL. All these places were aspected by transiting Jupiter, Saturn and

Jupiter was in Meena aspecting 7H and transit Saturn by its 9H aspect. AL was also
aspected by Jupiter, transiting in the 7H from him.
Chara Dasa running was Makara/Mesha. UL is in MD rashi Makara, and Mars (7L
and AD Lord) is natally placed in Mesha. Transit Saturn and Mars were connected
with both rashis activated by Chara Dasha at the time of the event.
MD rashi gets Argala from AD rashi and its lord from the 4H therefrom. Thus, 7H
and all its parameters are connected with transit Saturn, Mars and Jupiter.

Example 12 - Case 13: D.O.B.: April 12, 1967 at 12:30. Morbi, India.

Marriage on: December 13, 2007.

Lagna is Mithuna, AL is Kanya, UL is Kumbha and Jupiter is DK. Transit Saturn was in
Simha, in trine to 7H and transiting over Jupiters natal position. Saturn aspects UL by
its 7H aspect, natal Mars via 3rd aspect and Venus by its 10th aspect (Saturn is UL
Lord). Mars was transiting through Lagna aspecting 7H, transit Jupiter and AL (via
4H aspect). Jupiter was transiting through the 7H aspecting transit Mars in 7H from
him and also transiting Saturn by its 9H aspect. Thus, the marriage parameters were
related by transit with Saturn, Mars and Jupiter during the wedding.
Chara Dasa running was Kumbha/Kanya. UL is placed in Kumbha which is the MD
rashi. AD rashi contains the AL and its lord is conjunct with UL Lord Saturn, being
both planets aspected by DK Jupiter (9H aspect).
AD rashi get DK argala from 11H. MD gets argala from its lord, AD Lord and AL Lord
as well.

Example 13 - Case 14: D.O.B.: December 10, 1976 at 23:13. Morbi, India.

Marriage on: December 13, 2009.

Lagna is Simha, AL is Vrishchika, UL is Mesha and DK is Venus. Transit Saturn was in
Kanya in the 2H aspecting AL and UL Lord Mars by its 3H aspect. The natal 7L Saturn
was also aspecting transit Saturn at the time of the event. Hence, UL, AL and their
lords were associated with natal and transit Saturn. Transit Mars was in Karka,
making an exactly degree conjunction with natal 7L Saturn, it is also aspecting the 7H
from Lagna by its 8H aspect. Transit Jupiter was in the last degrees of Makara just
about to ingress into the 7H (Kumbha), in this position (Kumbha) Jupiter was being
aspected by transiting Mars (AL and UL lord) via 4H and 8H aspects, respectively.
Hence, a powerful connection of all required parameters is observed in this particular
example.
Chara Dasa running was Makara/Mithuna. Darakaraka is placed in MD rashi
receiving an aspect from UL Lagna Lord (Mars). AD rashi was also aspected by Mars
at that time (8H drishti). Transit Saturn influences AD rashi by its 10H aspect. Transit
Mars and Jupiter joins with MD and AD rashis.
AD rashi gets argala from MD lord from the 2H therefrom.

Example 14 - Case 15: D.O.B.: October 5, 1984 at 17:50. Ahmadabad, India.

Marriage on: December 12, 2009.

Lagna is Meena, AL and UL is Mithuna and DK is Mars. Transit Saturn was in Kanya
aspecting AL and UL by its 10H aspect and conjunct with the dispositor of these
Arudhas (Mercury) in the 7H from Lagna. In this way, Saturn is activating 7H and
UL. Transit Mars was in Karka getting aspected by transit Jupiter (7H aspect). Hence,
mutual aspects were giving drishtis to 7H, UL and AL Lord Mercury (9H aspect).
Chara dasa running at the event was Simha/Kanya. MD Lord (Sun) is placed in AD
rashi Kanya with UL Lord Mercury, which is also the 7H from Lagna. Transit Saturn
was in Kanya at the time of marriage and, as stated above, Jupiter and Mars were also
connected with the important parameters for marriage. AD rashi also receives argala
from MD rashi from its 2H. The rules proposed are working in this chart.

Example 15 - Case 18: D.O.B.: March 21, 1972 at 5:25. Ahmadabad, India.

Marriage on: May 26, 1997.

Lagna is Kumbha, AL is Vrishabha, UL is Kanya and DK is the 7L Sun. Transit Saturn
was in Meena passing through DK and UL Lord Mercury. Saturn was aspecting UL by
7H aspect, AL by 3H aspect and natal Jupiter by 10H aspect. Mars was in Kanya in UL
aspecting DK, transit Saturn and UL Lord Mercury. He is also aspecting natal Jupiter
by its 4H aspect and AL via 8H aspect. Jupiter was in Makara at the time aspecting
UL, AL and transit Mars (9H aspect). The correlations proposed are clearly present in
this case.
Chara Dasa running was Mithuna/Mesha. MD Lord Mercury is with Darakaraka Sun
aspecting MD rashi and AD rashi Lord (Mars) forms Parivartan Yoga with Venus (AL
Lord).
MD rashi gets argala from UL from 4H and AD rashi gets argala from its lord Mars
from its 2H. Mars gets argala from Darakaraka and UL Lagna Lord from 11H of his
position.

Example 16 - Case 19: D.O.B.: June 15, 1974 at 6:10. Nadiad, India.

Transit Mars was in Meena (UL and AL are placed therein) aspecting DK Sun via 4H
aspect. Jupiter was in Mithuna transiting over DK Sun and aspecting natal UL and AL
Lord Jupiter (9H aspect). Thus, all parameters are fulfilled in this case.
Chara dasa running was Kumbha/Mesha. Kumbha has UL Lord Jupiter and AD rashi
gets argala from UL, MD Lord from 11H and AD Lord from its 4H. Transit Saturn
aspects AD Lord by its 3H aspect and MD Lord by its 10H aspect. Transit Jupiter
aspects its natal position (UL and MD Lord) and transit Mars was in MD rashi at the

o, readers must notice through this article that Jaimini System of Astrology is,
in its own way, not only a support to the traditional Parashari System of
Astrology, but with his peculiar approach has great autonomy on his own
constituting an independent system. Other uses of pada of houses will be discussed in
forthcoming articles, like timing of prosperity, buying and selling of property, child
birth, pardesh gamana and career related issues.
