According to the Vedic astrology system, astrology closely linked with the past
lives accumulated karmas which get manifested in the present life. The whole
theory of the Vedic Astrology surrounds around the belief of karma’s,
reincarnation and the concept of Moksha. Whereas karakas of the pending
karmas are Saturn, Rahu/Ketu, and Ketu is mainly seen for moksha, detachment,
and rejection in this life regarding material prosperity. Rahu is mainly seen for all
sort of desires that are pending from the past life and Saturn is majorly seen for all
sort of karmas, either it is ongoing, collected from past or it is form of new karmas
whereas nodes are seen for the dispense of dynamic karmas when their transits
and Dasha’s get active. According to Sideral system of Indian astrology, It is
believed that a soul has to wait for the exact constellation of stars before it takes
birth in this world from the mother womb. Karma theory states that type of life
one person enjoy in this present life purely depends on the “Sanchit Karma”
(accumulated deeds of past lives) that one soul has gathered from the many of the
soul journies. Vedic astrology is only a unique science that considers the effects of
accumulated deeds of the past life. It has been seen that various Dasha system’s
those are devised in Vedic astrology used for “unfolding one’s karma in the
past”. Any major change in the Dasha system can bring good or bad results
depending on one’s karmic records or total baggage one carries from earlier lives.

For tracing past life pending karmas Vedic astrology gives much emphasis on the
concept of “Rinanu- Bandhan” (past life debts) in relationships to see whom we
have pending karmas attached with. This clearly indicates that the relationship we
make in the form of friend’s or enemies or any sort of close relationship we keep
purely depends on the upon past life debts. Which means no one comes in a
person’s life without any reason. Every relationship is interlinked with each other
by some means because of the past connections, some times we called them those
relations as karmic relations or sometimes soul relations. If one keeps making
relations and keep making contacts with people those he feels that he is so
attached with somehow means that person karma is still pending and he has to
finish it till it is not finished. It means, if someone keeps coming repeatedly in
someone life or if one is not able to resolve some unfinished issues, then it means
person or issues are linked with some karmic baggage of past lives. Even the
fortune or downfall one shares in his married or career life or luck with someone,
which clearly indicated that such a relationship is developing in this life because
of past debts. It is also has been seen that at same times someone becomes good
for the other.

Now the question arises why we human being has to face such type of situations in
our life with each other ? what is the reason behind this? According to the Vedic
astrology system, we have two reasons; either there is pending karma with the
person which is native carried forwarded from the past or one is facing issues in
this life due to the curses one get via his bad deeds. These “doshas” usually cause
problems in having children, having trouble in making good relationship with
either husband or wife, one may face severe career-related issues i.e no stability in
the career, no financial security or stability even after having good married life or
good job.

Our Scriptures has mentioned various such doshas that are mentioned in BPHS.
Though in the current article we will not discuss reasons for curses or debts. our
motive is to decode the reasons for pending karmas by various techniques via
natal chart. some of those doshas or curses mentioned in BPHS are as mentioned
below :

1) Curses of snakes: This curse is indicated by the placement and strength of the
Rahu in the natal chart. Effects of this curse give childlessness, fear from snakes
and snake bites. This curse originates due to the killing of snakes in past lives.
Root house for this curse is to been seen from the 5th house.

1) Curses of father: This curse is indicated by the placement and strength of the
Sun in the horoscope which gets triggered in the natal chart due to wrongs done
to father or due to the suffering of souls of forefathers. It gives issues of
childlessness, uneasy relationships with father in the current life, untimely death
of father and lack of happiness from father. To understand this curse or debt one
has to see 5th, 9th and 10th house.

3) Curses of mother: This curse is indicated by the placement and strength of the
Moon in the natal chart. This may happen due to ill-treatment with mother in past
life. It gives issues of childlessness, problematic relationship with mother in the
current life, unhappiness from mother, the untimely death of the mother. We have
to see the Influences on the 4th, 5th house and moon with nodes to understand
the curse.

4) Curses of brother: According to the Vedic astrology this curse has to be seen
from the placement and strength or weakness of mars and Jupiter.whereas for
younger brother planet Mars has to be seen and Jupiter for elder brother.Though
in Nadi we see elder brother via Saturn. It gives problem in childlessness, difficult
relationship with brothers, problems from brothers and lack of cordial relations
with brother. To understand the curse we need to decode the placement of 3rd,
11th and 5th house along with affliction on Mars and Jupiter either via nodes or
via Saturn.
5) Curses of maternal relations: For maternal relations, we need to check
affliction on mercury and Saturn. It will give difficult relationship with maternal
relations and we need to check affliction on 5th house and mercury, Saturn.

6) Curses of Spiritual Persons: To see curse of spiritual person we need to see

affliction on Jupiter. It majorly gives problem in childlessness, problems from
teachers, unhappiness, slow growth in life, stuck life, and general dissatisfaction
in life, etc. We need to see the affliction on the 9th and 5th house along with
Jupiter and their lordship condition.

7) Curses of the wife (or women): To see the curse or debt from females or wife
one has to see the condition of the planet Venus. Any affliction on the planet
venus via Nodes, Saturn or mars have majorly seen for the activation of the curse.
The placement of Venus in the natal and divisional chart is important to
understand the curse. It majorly gives effect problem in childlessness, difficulty in
getting married, problems from wife or women, the possibility of divorce,
defamation from women, etc. The most important house to be considered is the
7th house/lord.

8) Curses of Evil spirits: To see curse from the evil Spirits we need to see the
planetary placement of the Rahu and Ketu in the natal chart. Generally, Role of
the Nodes and Bhadhaka Graha, their lord and placement have key roles in
identifying the curse from the evil spirits. It gives major problem in mental setup
of the native, it gives fear from unknown and majorly fear of ghosts. we need to
see the conditions of Moon, Saturn, the 5th house and the fifth lord in the natal
chart along with Bhadhaka Graha and lord.

Techniques to Unlock the Pending Karma’s from the birth chart

In the next section, we will discuss the major techniques used to identify the
pending karma from the natal chart.so lets decoding the secrets of past life but
first, we need to understand the concept of karma, reincarnation and the cycle of
karma.
Lord Sri Krishna said in ‘The Bhagawad Gita’,

” vasamsi jirnani yatha vihaya navani grhnati naro ‘paranitatha sarirani

vihaya jirnany anyani samyati navani dehi “”

As a man, casting off worn-out garments takes new ones, so the dweller in the
body, casting off worn-out bodies, enters into others that are new”. He has also
said, “The misdeeds of our past lives torment us in the form of illnesses or
ailments”.

Explanation Given By Yogananda on the above Verse :

” During our daily lives, we change our old and/or dirty clothes and put on new
and/or clean clothes whenever the need arises. Similarly, the soul or atman casts
off its worn-out physical body and takes residence in a newer physical body at
regular intervals in time. Just like the clothes that we wear do not represent the
real state of our physical body, the state of our physical body (which deteriorates
over time and is hence impermanent) does not represent the truly unchangeable
and permanent nature of the soul that resides within it.

The eternal does not move from place to place but the embodied soul moves from
one abode to another. It takes birth each time and gathers to itself a mind, life and
body formed out of the materials of nature according to its past evolution, karma,
deed and its needs for the future. The psychic being is the vijnana which supports
the triple manifestation of the body, life, and mind. When the gross physical body
falls away, the vital and mental sheaths still remain as the vehicle of the soul.
Rebirth is the law of nature. There is an objective connection between the various
forms of life. “Like corn, a mortal ripens and like corn is he born again”.

(Katha Upanisad, Ch 1, verse 6).

This verse refers to the doctrine of reincarnation in Hinduism. Death is described

here as the simple discarding of a worn-out garment for a new one. When the
body becomes diseased and old, the ever-lasting soul forsakes it for a new
disguise. Death is but a change of attire in an uninterrupted continuity of
immortality.

According to the pearls of Vedic wisdom, every human being has to pay some rinas
or debts after taking birth in earth mundane plain and he is born owing five
important debts:

1) Debt to God

2) Debt to Ancestors

3) Debt to Humankind

4) Debt to Guests

5) Debt to Animals and plants (Debt to Prakriti /Nature) and they must repay
those karmic debts during their lifetime.

few of the debts are easy to pay but some of the Rina’s are hard to clear during this
lifetime.

Debt to God for their blessings: paid by rituals and offerings.

Debt to Ancestors and teachers: paid by supporting them, having children of

one’s own and passing along knowledge.

Debt to Guests: repaid by treating them as if they were gods visiting one’s
home.
 Debt to Mankind: Mutual cooperation and serving others can help to repay
this debt to mankind- such as giving money, clothes, shelter, and land, to
poor people, giving food and water to hungry people and helping orphans-or
any other help that is appropriate.

The fifth debt to the cosmic elements and everything that arises out of them
(bhut-runa) means Debt to Nature — a person is indebted to plants, trees,
birds, animals and nature (called Bhuta Rin) — repaid by offering goodwill,
food, water, or any other help that is appropriate.

Repaying these five debts, called Pancha-maha-yajna, is compulsory in

Hinduism. By this five yajna the worshipper places himself in correct relations
with God, ancestors, spirits, men, the organic creation, nature and himself.

How to Clear Debts

Although there is none another such way to understand the past birth Debts or
underlying karma process and what soul has gone through in last birth and what
it will bring to the new birth. God way and process of management and operations
are way beyond our imagination to understand how life and souls cycle is moving
around Birth and death cycle.

We are biologically a very small electrically charged energies residing in a physical

bodies having limitation to the material world, our reach and understanding life
cycle in a simple plain language is not an easy task. Unless and until we are able to
develop our Kundalini Shakti via deep Spiritual penance unless we can’t
understand how the soul’s deeper roots karmic accounts are connected with life
and death cycle.

Neither we are Yogic Person nor we are born as a Godly soul having extraordinary
sensory abilities to experience futuristic visions or dream and able to understand
for what purpose we took birth but yes there are certain methods via we can
understand how our this life is connected with the past birth Karma’s, Rinas, and
curses ( Unfinished Karmas).

One of the common methods is Understanding past life impressions via

Regression therapy and other is having Extraordinary astrological knowledge on
studying Past Birth Astrological cases via various Astrological charts and tools by a
different branch of jyotish but astrologer must be well experienced in collecting
and analyzing different life experiences with natal charts.

If you are seeking a detailed guidance regarding deep understanding on Life

Purpose, Spiritual awakening, Spiritual Learning, Understanding past lives curses,
debts and past birth karmic sufferings, then you need to understand the deeper
karmic connections which are linked with debts and pending and decode it we
need to understand methodologies used for decoding Past birth rina and curses
for better understanding on karma and moving toward right Spiritual.

Although, Tracing Pending karma from a natal chart is always a tough job, as
many people carry those karmas from immediate last birth or some of them
carrying from many of past journeys. These are hard to trace combinations. Below
are few observations which I have studied from many of the charts for Pending
karmas and found true and working in many of the cases.
Technique 1 :
A) Check the number of Retrograde planets in the Natal chart: Look for the
presence of a number of retrograde planets in the chart. Total number of Presence
of Retrograde planets in the Natal chart shows how many pending karmas one has
to exhaust in this birth. More the Retrograde planets more the total pending
karmas one has to finish in this life i.e if one has a presence of 3 retrograde
planets, then it means one has accumulated 3 pending karmas from many of the
past journies. Each of the Retrograde planet shows, karma connected with the
karakas of the planets. To see what exactly the karma is pending with the native,
check the placement of the Retrograde planets in the natal chart, check, in which
sign planet is placed and how many planets are aspecting it. Sign shows sufferings
or delays may face in this birth and aspects show via whom you may face such
hurdles, difficulties, and hurdles in this life. Dispositer lord placement of the
Retrograde planet in the natal chart shows what you need to do in this life in order
to fix the pending karma. To see what exactly is the pending karma retrograde
planet is indicating that one has to finish in this birth or giving a clue for certain
area of life, check its 12th house placement from the retrograde planet, that house
placement will show the area where one has to experience the pending karma
that one has to finish. for e.g if one has retrograde planet placed in the 9th house
then it means pending karma is either with the guru, teacher or father and one
has to experience it in this life via 8th house matter which is the 12th house
placement from the 9th. 8th shows sufferings, health issues, hurdles and
unknown troubles in life. now let us understand more by different planetary
examples how we can judge it :

1) If Mars is retrograde, and if it is connected with the Lagna or trik Bhavas ( i.e
6th, 8th or 12th house/lord) — There will be intense Pending karmas connected
with Brothers, enemies, Husband ( In Nadi), fights, Legal battles, Land, Houses,
War, bravery, Kings, and Kshatriya etc. To see what exactly the karma is pending
with, check the placement of the Retrograde mars in which sign and how many
planets are aspecting it.

2) If Saturn is Retrograde — and if it is connected with the Lagna and trik

bhavas — Then there will be deep Pending Karmas connected one’s own action in
the society i,e with Karam, Actions, work, Career, debts, sins, deeds, workers,
social circle, Society, Land, agriculture, and Mass, etc.

3) If Jupiter is Retrograde — then one has Pending Karmas connected with the
Spiritual Guru, teacher or father he has met in the past life, or it is with the
Teacher, Knowledge he has learned in past, or it is connected with one’s Learning,
or there might be a karma connected with the Brahmin, Gurukul and it is the
karma given by the god to finish it in this life etc. if it is connected to the trik
bhavas then one has to Experience it in any case via serving people. If it is
connected with the Upachaya and Dharma Bhavas then one may get success via it
and one will do service to the people in the right manner for uplifting own self
and other also.

4) If it is Venus — then one has pending karma connected with his wife, sister,
relationships and one has to give to his Wife, Spouse, Girlfriend, elder sister and
one may face hardships or some karmic debt or pending karma with respect to
Relationships, wealth, luxury and majorly with the wife or lover he or she may
face or experience. If the conjunction is with Sun, Nodes, Mars and Saturn, AK
then the Severity would be intense and it can give hard lessons in relationships or
marriage. Many a case it gives hardships, struggles in Wealth, Luxury and comfort
matters. Even it gives an indication with the concerned people those are
connected with the karka of Venus i.e sister in law etc. Start of pending karma
depends on the Lordship of the venus in Natal chart Mool trikona rashi, that house
shows the event that can trigger the past karma i,e if Venus is lord of 9th house (
then event trigger after when one starts its higher learning or enter in any
institution or society).The same way you can check for other planets as well

Technique 2 :
B) Check where the Bhrigu Bindu is placed in the natal chart, the sign, planet
placed in it and its lord shows what sort of karma is pending in this birth and
whom it is pending and how one can finish it. If BB is placed in the 10th house
then one may have pending karma with the society or with the environment
where he works or with the colleagues he works in society. whenever any major
planet like Jupiter, Rahu/Ketu and Saturn transit on this point; BB, native
experience major shift in his destiny in that particular year till that Transit is active
with respect to that sign and house placement during particular years and same
way vimshotri and Chara dasha of the BB lord point shows major shift one can
experience in one’s destiny during their. We will explain the concept of Bhrigu
Bindu in detail in the next part with an example chart.

Technique 3 :
C) Check the house Placement and sign of the 3rd house and its lord (
Karyesha) in the natal and D3 chart ( Jaganath Drekkana) it shows your
karma one is born with to fulfill in this birth by doing certain actions and karmas
in the society. As 3rd house is the house of actions and initiatives done by the
jeeva, and it is also directly opposite to the 9th house which shows your Past birth,
father and the Bhagya, it shows your Free will (Force of karma that one perform
against his destiny) and in broader sense it will show your must-have actions or
karmas that you need to perform in this birth to unlock the future karma or
actions one need require in this current birth.

Technique 4 :
D) Check the 6th house, Sign, planets placed in this house and its lord in the natal
chart to decode the Shadripus one has to cross in this birth in order to achieve the
purpose of this life. This house, planets placed in it and its lord shows what is the
pending karma of this life that must be finish in order to finish or cross this life
cycle barrier and reach to next life. For e.g if one has sign libra in the 6th house
and there is no planet placed in the house then we have to see where 6th house
lord is placed. that placement shows what sort of blockage one is experiencing in
this birth with respect to that particular house placement. If we take current
Example, venus is 6th lord and if it is placed in the 10th house in Aquarius sign
then one may experience a problem in his career or profession because of his
relationships with the female members in his office environment or one can face
problem in his career via his wife or one face hurdle in his career life or
performing certain karma in society due to the properties of the venus i.e
problems via females, wife, wealth etc.

Technique 5 :
E) Check Placement and Sign aspect of Saturn and Rahu in the natal chart,
shows what is the Major karma that needs to work on it in current life and if both
the planets make a relation to each other or some Sambandha in a way by Mutual
Aspects, conjunctions then one need to first finish this house karma in order to
grow or progress in this life. for e.g Saturn is placed in 8th house and Rahu is
placed in the 5th house , As Saturn is aspecting 5th house by 10th aspect then one
needs to finish the pending karma wrt to 5th house matters i.e Bhakti, Stability of
the chitta ( Mind) affairs, romance, children’s and basic education etc.

Note : These Pending karmas one has to exhaust in any case without any delay or
without escaping point from it, Dashas, Ad, and Pd of all these retrograde planets play
the main role in turning life into a major transformative events and one has to finish
it in any case by experiencing it and all these planets play a major role in
transforming inner conscious (Spiritual instinct) of the native. Either they teach a
hard lesson or one totally get spiritual in these dasha periods.

Technique 6 :
Karma from D9 and Divisional charts :

There are also few other pending Karmas which are very intense and one cannot
avoid it and those are presence in the form of curses and Karmic point. All these
intense karmas one has to seen from the D9, D3, D30 and D60 chart. Whereas
Planetry conjunction with either North node or south nodes in D9 shows the Deep
and very intense karmas which were long pending from many of the birth and
native is trying to avoid it or carry forwarding to many of birth from long via some
divine help, guru blessings or Good Deeds.

As, Rahu-Ketu shows Sudden karmic point whereas Saturn shows karma that one
has to improve it in this birth with own efforts and actions. Rahu-Ketu karmas
have come in the form of mundane and physical sufferings and karma of Saturn
comes in the form of Learning and lessons.

i.e If Rahu is placed with Venus in d9 chart — One had deep, Sudden and intense
karma connected with either wife or girlfriend, Relationships (Extra or pre-
marital physical relations) , some karma connected with lady love or with
women whom he loves in past birth that can give either intense suffering or one
may learn a hard lessons after marriage or it can starts when one person get
involved in any relationship.

If Sun is with Rahu, then one may play a deep and intense relationship with
Father or fatherly figure people, this conjunction can activate a Pitru curse in
chart when Sun is involved with either 5th or 9th lord in D1 chart and it is in
conjunction in d9 chart. this can activate it either after marriage or when some
joins Job or he or she do bad deeds to any of fatherly figure native.

If Moon is with Rahu — then it gives deep and intense emotional sufferings via
Mother, mother in law or eldest sister or via suffering intensely in an emotional
bond. this could be very intense when the moon is lord of 4th house in d1 and
same time if it is lord of 7th lord in d9. then it can get activate after marriage.

same we can check for Planetary conjunction with Ketu that shows Long pending
karma connected with the past birth that one is avoiding from many of the birth.
Ketu shows what is left behind, one’s rejections that have to experience and what
is you have to finish in this birth to grow yourself spiritually. Ketu is a planet of
detachment so here suffering and the lesson is connected in the form of
detachment and one may face lots of detachment via karaka of the planet as
native may have given sufferings or detachment to someone in that past birth in
any of the form

Other Pending karmas are seen from the D3, D30 and D60 chart that shows the
karma of immediate last birth, that one has to face or experience in this birth that
we will cover in the 2nd part of this article with example charts. It could be seen in
these above mentioned divisional charts when karka of any of planet is connected
with Mars, Saturn and nodes in D3, D30 and D60 chart, those having lordship
with the 6th, 8th, 12th or Lagna in the D1 chart.D3 chart majorly shows about the
Bott past and future karma native has to experience i.e what is the soul goal of the
native or what one has to experience in this birth due to the good and Bad deeds
done via the native. whereas D30 chart shows about the Suffering one has to
experience in this birth because of his weaknesses, shadripus, sins and past debts.
I hope people would have enjoyed this article reading it and people will try to
apply in their chart to understand it more deeply with the example charts. In the
2nd part, we will try to explain each and every technique with example charts of
people those have experienced their destiny and past karmas astrologically.
