No seminar or session can ever teach any individual all the rules to see natal charts. The reason is
actually very simple. Every chart apart from being a few boxes drawn on a piece of paper showing
certain cryptic figures denoting planets present in some of those boxes cannot completely represent a
living human being. Every human being brings with him/her a set of genetic makeup, lifestyle,
values, principles and experiences which are distinct and unique. No set of rules in jyotish can be
generalized for each and every chart. However, the finesse of a jyotish depends on selection of which
jyotish tool can be applied on which charts.
This workshop focused on very basic analysis tools that can be used for chart analysis. This article is
not exhaustive of the complete course but rather gives snippets of what was discussed.
Tripod of Life
Atma [Soul], Manah [Mind] and Sharira [Body] are three legs of human life. The Human Body is
composed of Physical Body, Astral Body and Causal Body. Sharira can be composed of only the
Rasis. Each Rasi has a dominant Tattwa in them.
There is not a single Rasi which has the predominant Tattwa as Akash indicating that by default all
human beings born on this plane of existence are ignorant.
In a chart, we first find out the Rasis occupied by Sun, Moon and Lagna. These rasis can have
maximum of 3 predominant Tattwas. We will have to see which Tattwa[s] are missing in the person
by default and that becomes the first flaw[s] in the individual.
We will then need to study the Lord of that Tattwa in the chart to carefully see what the situation of
the Tattwa Lord is. It will say something very discreet about the native.
Jala Missing
Ammachi
We see that the tripod of life [Sun, Moon , Lagna] in Prithvi and Vayu Tattwa signs showing lacking
of Agni and Jala. Mars is in Agni rasi Vargottam and Sun is with exalted Mercury in Rasi and in
exalted Navamsa. Venus is in Agni rasi and with Mars. Moon is exalted in the 8th rasi in Taurus. Jala
Tattwa is a flaw in this chart resulting in lack of relationships, pleasures and sensuality. As we all
know that Ammachi never married. Her work is her life and her love for humanity has always
engulfed her life.
We see that the tripod of life [Sun, Moon , Lagna] in Agni and Prithvi Tattwa signs showing lacking
of Vayu and Jala. Saturn is in Jala rasi and aspects Lagna. Venus is in Agni rasi and navamsa. The
Swami Vivekananda
We see that the tripod of life [Sun, Moon , Lagna] in Agni and Prithvi Tattwa signs showing lacking
of Vayu and Jala. Saturn is in Prithvi rasi. Venus is in Prithvi rasi and exalted navamsa. This creates
emphasis on Jala. Swamiji at one point in his life wanted to get married. Swamiji burned himself and
did not take rest until his mission [Ramakrishna Mission] took a solid form.
Abraham Lincolns chart, which was discussed in the class, is a classic example of how important the
touch of Jupiter is in a chart.
Case Studies
Ammachi, Maharshi and Mahatma Gandhis charts were discussed to explain the difference between
Bhava and Rasi charts.
We study these grahas individually to get knowledge of various aspects of the charts. For example, a
common question is asked about profession. This is seen from Saturn, the giver of karma. We have to
check the Varna of the rasi in which Saturn is placed and that would give some indication of the
profession of the individual.
Case Studies
Charts of Ammachi and Maharshi were discussed following this model.

Case studies were discussed to show the working of this principle.
