"As an astrologer can only study the tendencies likely to
manifest under certain situations, it may be logical, as an
extension of this approach to find out the additional forces
that can be generated in order to deflect any unhappy
lnfluence likely to mantfest as a result of the gtven planetary
configuration" says Shri Bepin Behari in his article 'Some
Reflections on Remedial Measures' ln the September 1983
lssue of the Astrologial Magazine.
An attempt has been made fn this small book how the
'additional
forces'can be generated by use of appropriate gem
stones or Mantras or other means to avert the misery that
may be caused by afflictions of planets or by malefic
configuration of planets in a horoscope.
Prasno Marga, an exhaustive work from Kerala (English
translation by lo.te J.N. Bhasur, published by Raryian
Publicatiors) gives description in detail about identifying the
alilfcilng planet and of locattng the correct remedy. According
to the author of PrasnaMargaall miseries and difficulties in
life are caused by one's sins of commission or omission.
Remedies are prescribed in the form of medicines, Japas
(repetition of mantras) , Aqjnas, oblations, worship, offerings
in charity (Dana), feeding etc. This matter will be dealt with
in this book in more detail at the appropriate place.
Apart frorn Japas oJ Mantrag use of gem stones, prayers
to the planets and other deities are very often resorted to in
times of trouble. In North India Hanumargiiisbelieved to solve
all problems if the dwotee recites HartumanCtnlisolaprayer
book) regularly. Similarly prayers are offered to different
deities according to the faith of the devotees. From our

has quoted the following sloka from the Bombay Edition of
'Briitrrt Parorshnra Hora' :-

In maintaining that Rahu and Ketu have the 5th house'
7th house and fth house aspects, ShriBhasitlhas expressed
the view that if those planets are under the in-fluence of
benefics, they communicate the beneficial effects of those
benefics with their aspects. Similarly they transport the evil
effects of the malefics influencin$ them.
(1I) The sign rising in the eastern horizon at the time of
the birth is called the Ascendant (I-agna)..In a horoscope the
good and bad effects of the planets are dependent on the risin$
sign (Ascendant) to a great extent.
(12) There are dilferent
forms adopted for the

26 REMEDTAL MEASURES IN AS:TROI.OGY
Planetary Afflictions
As this bock dealswith remedtalmeasures for evils caused
by planetary aflllctlons tt u:{ll be oJgreat use to lstow tt what
nvuvlrrr the planets and,tle var'toushouses oJtte laroscope
get qfJttcted
A planet is sald to be alllicted in the following
clrcumstances-
( I) When the planet is combust :- on account of nearness
to the sun as indicated below:-
Moon up to L2 degrees
Mars ,. L7
Mercury ,, ,, 13
Jupiter ,, ,, II ,,
Venus ,, 09 ,,
Saturn ,, 15
In our opinion if a planet ls within 3 degrees of the Sun,
he should be treated as really combust and without any
strength.
(2) When the planet ls posited rn the 6th, 8th or l2th house
(which are considered as inauspicious houses) and is deprived
of aspect of Jupiter, Venus or full Moon.
(3) When a planet is in debilitation and debilitation ls not
cancelled. (For principles of cancellation of debilitation, see
our book'Learn Astrologr the Easy WuyJ.
(4) When a planet is conJotned wrth a malefic and fs not
aspected by a benefic like Jupiter, Venus or full Moon.
(5) When a planet is conJoined with lord of the 6th, 8th or
12th house and ts bereft of aspect by a benelic.
(6) When a planet is tn exaltation and is retrograde
(retrograde : movit:tg in the reverse direction i.e. moving
baclnvards tnstead of direct motion).
A house is said to be afflicted when it is aspected by a
malefic, or a malefic is posited in it, or when the lord of the
house is in any of the six circumstances mentioned above.
The aspect of a benefic like Jupiter or Venus mitigates the
aflliction to a great extent. A planet in the sign of an enemy
loses some of its strength but is not to be treated as aIllicted.
PREUMINARY KNOWLEDCE 27
SI]N (Surga)
According to astronomy, Sun is the parent of entire solar
system. He is also called the 'Father of Stars'.
According to Hindu mythologr the centre of all life, force
and energr and the giver of .kcmoL Sun is worshipped as Sun
Cod. He is held in high esteem. At least thrice daily Sun is
prayed for by the Sun's devotees, 'Surya Namaskar'is done
by many persons to regain the lost vitality and eye sight. Other
nations also pay reverence to sun. He is believed to represent
the Creator, the Brohmcr, with his four faces to have a srrrrey
of all the four directions causing four seasons and the four
elements Fire, Earth, Air and Water. Arnongst the Hindus,
it is believed that the Sun is ever moving in a chariot drawn
by seven horses. This is probably because in the Sun are
contained all the seven colours of the Spectrum (VIBGYOR).
When the Sun enters certain significant signs, the Htndus
perform some religious function on those diys to satisff the
departed souls and offer prayer to Sun God. One such
important occasion is Makarasankranfiwhen sun enters the
sign Capricorn. The greatest of our ancient astrologers
Varahamihfiaworshipped onty Sun God. I{is monumental iork
'Briho,t
Jatak' starts with this prayer to Sun Cod-

bronchitis, Wet cough, gout, chronic reheumatism,
ir:flammatism of kidneys, gall stones, prolapsus, cessation of
menstruation in females, mental debility, cholera and other
similar dlseases. Orange rays have gtven good results tn
tnsanity of the young, fevers, bleedtngs etc.
3. Yellow Cosmlc Rays
The coral of yellow cosmic colour releases hot rays. The
coral and its yellow colour are associated with the martial
planet Mars. Yellow colour nourishes the marrow system. The
head and the genitals also come under the inlluence of Mars
and therefore of yellow cosmic rays.
According to Roland Hunt, yellow rays are necessary for
subjects prone to diseases such as stofnach troubles,
indigestion, constipation, flatulence, liver troubles, diabetes,
blind piles, eczema, skin troubles, leprosy and nervous
exhaustion.
4. Green Cosmlc Rays
It is emerald which is a storehouse of green cosmic rays.
The colour of earth element is green and is cold in character.
Therefore, green is a positive force with power of integration.
According to Roland Hunt, green rays are necessary for the
following complanits : heart troubles, blood pressure, ulcers,
cancer, headache, neuralgia, influenza, syphlis etc. Green
rays have been found curative in asthma, burnt skin, injuries,
ulcers, skin diseases and high blood pressure.
5. Blue Cosmlc Rays
The moonstone, crystal and topaz (Pttshporaga) belong to
the same colour group viz. blue. This group of stones is,
therefoere, blue ray concentrate. Blue colour belongs to the
Akashoelement which imparts life force to the whole mobile
GEM THERAPT ro5
and immobile creation. The controller of blue colour is Jupiter
who presides over the Me principle in all human beings and
breathing animals.
Accordtng.to Roland Hunt blue rays are necessary ln the
following disi:ases: All throat troubles, laryngitis, goiire, sore
throat, hoar:seness, feavers like scarlet fever and typhoid,
bubonic plague, small-pox, chicken-pox, measles, apathae,

6. Indlgo Cosmlc Ra5rs
The cosmic rays of this colour are abundantly stored in
diamond, the gem ruled by Venus who alongwith its indigo
colour belongs to the water principle according to Dr.
Bhattachatya and they are both cold and positive in nature.
According to Aguruedic books diamond contains all the six
tastes-sweet, sour, saline, pungent, bitter and astringent.
By virtue of this quality diamond should be regarded as a
medicine for diseases arising out of the simultaneous
derangement of the Tftdoshaelements-Vogu (arr) prtta (fire)
and Kaphn (water).
According to Roland Hunt indigo rays are good for the
following diseases:- eye troubles, ear and nose complaints,
facial paralysis, all diseases of the lungs, pneumonia,
bronchitis, croup, whooping cough, asthma, T.B. dyspepsia,
creeping palsy, infantile conurlsions, delirium, obsession and
otherforms of insanity. According to Dr. Btwttacharyaindigo

(where the sign of the first house ts Aries), the Sun will be

causing trouble or the native suffers in respect of matters
connected with Moon such as illness of mother, mental worry
or mental debility, affection in the lungs or some lung
dlseases, or lack of money, the remedial measure suggested
to ward offsuch troubles is to get silver sewpt away in a river.
Another measure suggested is to keep water or milk in a
vessel near the head of the bed at night and to pour tt in the
morning on a Krkcrtree. The inference from these measures
seems to be to give tn charity, things like silver, water or milk
connected with Moon.
(2) If Moon betng aJllicted in the Ascendant, is causing evil
effects, the remedial measure suggested in LolKitab is that
the native should stop selling milk. Another measure
suggested is that the native should keep with him things like
natural water, rice, silver etc., i.e. things connected with

htmself from the harm done by Mercury's allliction, he should
bum counes (dr$) and the ashes should be throurn in a river
on the same day. (The canals etc. originating from a river
should be treated as a riv€r for this purpose). Another
remedial measure is to throw a copper paisa with hole tr: it
tn the river. The thing to be given in charity is unsplit Moong.
To strengthen Mercury, emerald should be worn. According
tor alKilnb, the deityof Mercuryis GoddessDurgcl Therefore,
Goddess Durga should be devotedly worshipped and the
related prayer book should be regularly read. For those for
whom Mercury is evil, getting their nose pterced will prove
useful. Cleaning of teeth by alum (fum-ft) and worshipping
unmarried girls also ward off the troubles caused by an evil
Mercury. If the native suffers from any disease on account
of the malevolence of Mercury, he should give unsweetened
pumpldn (which is used by sweetmeat makers) in charity.
Donations may also be made to religious institutions.
Mercury ts also propitiated by giving goats in charity.
Juplter
If Jupiter ts malevolent tn any nativtty, hls eytl effects could
be neutraltsed tf each blood relation of the farnily of the na've
gives a paisa as offertng in a temple. Jupiter is also propitiated
by looking after, watering and worship plng a peepaltree. The
things related to Jupiter whtch are to be given in charity, to
propitiate him are sallron (+$<) turmeric | (E€), dorb,
grarn and gold. Though the deity connected with Jupiter is
Brahma, but if on account of inauspicious position ofJupiter
ln the horoscope, the native is deprived of a son, he should
devotedly worshtp Har-i (Efr).

neutralised if the native gives a part of his meal to the cows.

4th house being 8th to gth is the house of longwity for father
and the lord of 9th and Sun wlll represent father. In such a

Venus
In a man's horoscope Venus is significator for his wife. If
Venus be alllicted alongwith the 7th and its lord, the natlve
is likelyto remain unmarried. If there is benefic influence on
them alongwith evil inJluence of Sun, Saturn or Rahu, he may
get married but the marriage is likelyto end in separation or
divorce.
For the Libra Ascendant, Venus is lord of the Ascendant
and the 8th. He, therefore, fully represents the longevity of

sulfers irom various kind of dtseases in the legs. Betng lbrd
of theAsccn<lant, the alllicted Saturnwlll also adversely affect
the longevity of the native and he wtll face obstacles in all his
ventures. The native should' therefore, wear a blue sapphire
in a steel or lron rtng to strengthen Saturn. He should also
propitiate the planets afflicting Saturn.
If Saturn be lord of the 2nd (Sagittarius & Capricon
Ascendants) and be posited in 6th, the native will incur losses
through enemies and may also havc defects in speech' For
the Cipricorn Ascendant, Saturn wlll be lord of the Ascendant
also and hls allliction will adversely affect the longwity of the
nauve. He should, therefore, wear a blue sapphire in a steel
r1ng to strengthen saturn. For the natlves of sagittarius
Asclndant, Saturn will be lord of a marokasthana and they
should avoid wearing a blue sapphire as far as possible. They
should concentrate bn propitiation of Saturn as well as the
planets alllicting him.
If Saturn. as lord of 4th, be aJllicted by Rahu' the native
will lose his landed property. It will, therefore, be in the
interest of the native to wear a blue sapphire to strengthen
Saturn.
If the Ascendant be Llbra and Saturn and Jupiter be
aspectedby Mars and Rahu' the natfve suffers immensely on
aclount oftris son. The native should strengthen Saturn by
wearingi blue sapphire' Jupiter could also be strengthened
