 Introduction

Astrology is the most aoaeot of aU sciences. It is not a

science like Matbematics, Botany. Zoology. Cbemistry or
Pbysic., the study 0 r whicb requires strict adherence to the
world's CODventionalities of commonsense reasooing and ordi·
nary Jogic. Astrology comprehends something higber.
mysterious and suhtle. It is not a mere appeal to tbe rea.oning
faculty of man but it is an appeal to his hidden powers and
capacities. Astrological predictions canoot be simply based
upon .trict hypothetical principles or vague guesses but a
certain amount of intuitive cap.city must be brought to bear
upon sucb attempts. The various rules given for future
'predictions are merely intended for our guidance and we must
Jubstaotiate them by recour&e to the study and examination
of a large Dumber of practical horoscopes. CoUect, the
horoscopes of a Dumber of people of all grades, ranks.

Astrology relies more upon the skill and intuitive capacities

211 Various theories have been set up to discover the influen ces
of planets upon the terrestrial phenomena. While some people
admit th e intimate relatio nship tbat exists betwixt tbe move·
ments of tbose "mysterious intelligences" in tbe beavens and
tbe fortunes and misfortunes of men, rise and fall of Empires,
ebb and flow of human passions and the regeneration and
degeneration of Arts, Sciences, Literature and Philosophy,
there are others who always deny tbe existence of any sort of
connection between tbe stars 'a nd the inhabitants of this eartb.
This attitude is due to the fact that they do not approach the
subject with an unbiassed and unprejudiced mind. Dispassio#
nate enquiry alone can enable one to appreciate the truth
~hind any branch of knowledge . In any field o f enquiry.
the student will find it useful to remember. it is a major error
o f the intellect to attempt to oppose prejudices based on
Q priori arguments to tbe evidence afforded by facts. The fiDal
test of a tbeory is that it should work satisfactorily in prac·
tice. Tbis is the test by which astrological theory sbould be
judged.
No science or art is more interesting, in structive and use·
ful to mankind in contributing to his moral and material
advancement tban the sublime science of astrology. This is
 Hindu Predictive Muoio.,.
tbe most ancient of a ll sciences and bad reached considerable
perfection in India tbousands of years ago.
While the modern scientists acknowledge astronomy. some
of them sneer at astrology and reject it with' cont~mpt charg-
ing it with the dogmatism of charlatanry aDd superstition.
They preaca frankness and research as fair and reasonable;
but sbow the greatest bigotry, when the subject of astrology is
taken up or introd uced.
Astrology is the science which comprises the foretelling of
tbe regular movements of the planets, the fortunes and mis-
fortunes of men, fates of nations. inundations, eartnquakes.
plagues. volcanic eruptions. pestilences, and other incidents
relating to terrestrial phenomena. In Sanskrit it is called
Bora Sastra meaning the science that treats of Time. It il
a lso called Jyolisha or the .!"lJwledge of Lighl from Jyoti or
Light which is the root-cause for aU known creation. Accord-
ing to the Western interpretation s. Astrology is derived from
Asler-a star, and Logos-reason or logic.
No sane brain could ever deny the infiuence of planets
upon man and how they affect , deter and facilitate bis future
career on the three planes of human existence, vit., pbysical
characteristics, mental peculiarities and spiritual aspirations.
That a certain subtle power , derived from nature. pervades
the entire universe, and the earth we inbabit is also subject to
this mysterious and subtle power 1s evident to aU . The various
elements, encompassing all matter, arc altered by tbe motions
of tbis ethereal power. The acts of creation (sr/.Jhll), protec-
tion (slhltil and destruction (Joyal are embedded in the womb
of the All-Powerful Time and these variations are brought
about as a consequence of this subtle power. The Sun by his

WaIes rivers swell. the tides of the sea are ruled and the plants
and animals aOected.
The Sun as the central figure predominates over the entire
arrangement of the celestial system and the other planets aod
stars arc directed by his rays.
'rhus, it invariably follows , that all bodies in nature,
wbether animate or inanimate, are subject to tbe motions of
the celestial bodies.· Not only those that are already in exis-
tence are influenced by tbe movements and configurations of
planets. but also the impregnations and growth and develop-
ments of tbe seeds from which all bodies emanate are moulded
by the quantity and quality of these infiuences 'a t the time of
impregnati on.

The greatest men of the world believed in and practised
astrology. Dante declared it to be " the highest. tbe noblest
and without defect". Kepler. Bacon, Pythogoras and Demo-
crates were masters in astrology. The ancient Hebrews called
the astrologer Asphe meaning " the mouthpiece of the star".
It is recorded that Newton was attracted to the study of
mathematics and astronomy by tbe contemplation of an

When one bas acquired a thorough knowledge of the ever-
lasting and ever-changing influences of the stars, he will be
able to prognosticate correctly the mental and physical
qualitie s of any man and the fortunes and misfortunes that
await him and his progress in the world whose actual moment
of birth is accurately known.
By thus knowing the future correctly , man can so create
an environment tbat, he can cope with the adverse periods of
his life and alleviate the evils, indicated by the planets to a
great extent. The human will is free to a certain extent and
advance knowledge of the future can enable one to mitigate
many evils. There is a proverb: "Fools obey planets while
wise men Con tro l them."

CHAPTER II
The Zodiac and the Solar System
The zodiac is a broad band or belt in the heavens extend-
ing 9 degrees 00 each side of the ecliptic. The ~liptie or the
path of the Sun passes exactly through the centre of the wdiac
longitudinally. It is an imaginary circle of 360 degrees and
tbe ancients divided this zodiac into 12 equal parts of 30
Though each of these signs differs considerably from the
other, yet there is a sort of continuity tbrough all the twelve.
The quality of each sign is oat equally spread, but every
degree io a sign has its own peculiar qualities. The zodiac,
known as the Bhachakra in Sanskrit , revolves o n its axis o nce
in a day from east to west.
The planetary orbs. which the ancients recognised as
baving the most powerful inOueoces on our earth are seven,
leaving aside the shadowy planets, Rahu and Ketu, and the
so called newly di scovered planets Uranu s, Neptune and
Pluto whicb Hindu astrology does Dot recognise.
As inhabitants of the earlh, we are concerned with tbe
inHuences of these celestial bodies on our planet. All the
planets perform the double function of not only revolving on
their own axes once in a day (from west to east) but also
round the Sun, According to Surytlsiddhanltl, Saturn is the

Planetary Strengths and Avasthaa
Planetary conjunctions play an important part in tbe
d¢termination of tbe various sources of strength and weak-
ness of the planets in a horoscope. Conjunction of good
planets always produces beneficial results while the reverse
ho lds good when malefic planets join together.
Planets on account of their incessant movements get into
eertain states of existence called avas/has which are ten in
number. Each avastha produces its own results. In tbe
judgment of a horoscope all tbese details. bave to be fully
considered.
Duptha or Exaltation. Gains from conveyances, respect
from elders , fame, wealth and good progeny.
Swastha or Own House.-Fame, wealth, position , lands,
happiness and good children.

The Shadbalas or Six Sources of Strength and Weakness
of Plane/S.- Each planet is supposed to get a particular shale
of strength when it occupies a particular position. The source
of strength can be numerically measured by a certain unit
called Rupa. (For full details. see my book Graha and Bhava
Balas.) There are six kinds of strength considered in Indian
astrology.

Mars get tbeir directional strength in tbe North (lOth house).
Saturn in tbe West (7th bou se) gains Digbala. Venus and the
Moon acquire directional strength in the South (4th house).

and Its Reduction to the Hindu

A short acco unt of the difference eXisting between the

Hindu and Western zodiacs seems necessary before explaining
tbe method involved in the erection o f the heaven ly map
acconJ ing to the Western system and its reduction to the
Hindu zodiac. The Hindu astronomers of the Nirnyana
schoo l trace their o bservations of planet s to the fix ed zod iac
while the Western ast ronomers. belon ging to the Sayan a
system, co nside r the moving zodiac commencin g fro m the
ever-shifting vernal equinox. The exac t period when boltt
the zodiacs were it: the first point is doubted by a number of
astronomers a nd accordingly the Ayanam sa -precessional
distance -or the inc rement between the beginning of the fixed
and moveable zodiacs. varies from 19 to 23 degrees. This
Ayanamsa is reckoned roughly at 50 ' /3 seconds of arc per
year (see Appendix A).
Erect the boroscope as per rules given below. Subtract
the Ayanamsa for the year of birth from sucb positions and
tbe Hindu horoscope is obtained. In one year the Ayana msa
gains by.50 1/3 seconds of arc so that preceSSion for od d days
may conveniently be omitted .

have been recorded for it is natural tbat considerable time will
lravc elapsed from the moment of birth to that of recording it.
While tbe importance of the correct instant is so much. we
cannot lay any hard and fast rules which will cnable us to
find out this exact instant. It is accepted by eminent astro-
logers tbat the time of birth means the time of the fir st cry o f
tbe child which generally accompanies the first breath.
According to Varabamibira, there is an intimate connec-
tion existing between the planetary positions at conception
and those at birth . Based on this, the Wester'ners have
developed their so-called "Prenatal Epoch Theory". The
M oon is the ,ource-o f impregnation. Therefore it is poss ible
to rectify the time of birth by adjusting the Moon and ascen-
dant ~t birth and at conu plion. Varabamibira observes tbus
in StaDza 26 of Cba ter IV of Brihat Jatoko Eng. Trans . by
B. uryanaraln ao) :
"Find the number of Dwadasamsas occupied by lhe Moon
at the time of conception. Note the zodiacal sign whose name
I the Dwadasa msa bears . Count from the next sign as many
I signs' as the number of Dwadasam5as by which the Moon may
bave advanced in any particular sign. When the Moon comes
"
to such last sign, the birth of tbe chi ld will occur ... •
The author has beeo investigating into this theory and
proposes to place before the learned readers, the fruit s of bis
labours in due course. This branch of astro logy does not
come within tbe scope of a beginner or an amateur. And birtb
times can be rectified only by men of experience by a conside-
ration o f pronounced life eve nts.
The following are some of the rules which are generally
employed by astrologers:-
J. Multiply the time of birtb in vig~at js by 4 and divide
the product by 9. The remainder must give the ruling constel-
lati on when cou nted from Aswini, Makoa or Moola.
Example:
Time of Birth 7h 42 m 44' p.m. ( I.S ,T.)
Time of Sunrise: fI' 25 m 32" a.m . (I.S .T.)
Janma Nakshatra-Mrigasir"a.
:. No. of hours passed from sunrise to birth 13" 17Rl 12'.
Converting tbis into gbatis and vighatis we get 33-53
gh atis or 2033 vighatis.
2033 x 4 _ 9036, 1.0 ~ 1 )l 4-
9 . -, ).
Rejecting the quotient and counting 5 from Aswini. we get
Mrigasira as 1anma Naksbatra (birth constellation) which is
correct.
If suppose tbe r.emainder in the above is say 8, which
means Pusbyami. In such a case adjust the remainder in such
a way as to give tbe Jaoma Nakshatra and rectify the time of
birth accordingly.

On Aspects
Tbe power of a planet to produce good or inDict evil. on
an individual, is modified to a great extent by tile natural
sympathies or antipathies of the aspecting and the aspected
planets . ~
According to Hind", astrology, all aspe.c ts are impersonal
and the aspects are counted feom sign to sign. An aspect is
good or bad according to tbe relation between the aspecting
and the aspected planet. All the planets aspect tbe -3rd and
10th houses from their loca tio n with a quarter sight; the 5th
and 9tb houses with half a sight : tbe 4th and 8th houses with
tbree·quarter of a sight and the 7th bouse with a full sight.
Saturn, Jupiter and r.brs have special aspects. Saturn power·
fully aspects 3rd and 10th houses; Jupiter, 5th and 9th
houses; and Mars ~. 4th and ~th hOl!.ses.
It will bc seeD that laimini and Tajak writers consider an
D. altogetber different method of reading aspects. Beginners
J~ should never mix the o ne system with th e otber. According
1 to laimini all moveable signs aspect all fixed signs, except
14 the adjacent ones. Similarly. all filled signs aspect all move-
able signs except the ~djace.J:lt ones . . Common signs aspect
each otber. 10 this book we tire devoting ourselves exclusively
to Parasara.
• 3rd house 60 0 to 90-; 10tb bouse 2700 to 300" j 5tb bouse 1200 to
1500 ; 9th house 240 0 to 270 0 : 4th house 900 to 120~; 8th house ltO· to
340· ; aDd 7th houle 1800.
.. Hindu Predictive Astrolol)'
The aspect is s ignified "by referring to the number 01 signs
fro m the significator which the aspectiog planet may hold.
Thus if the Sun is in Cancer and Saturn is in Taurus, we say
tbat tbe Sun is in the third from Saturn and consequcDtI;
receives tbe aspect (ltd hou se aspect) of Saturn.
The opposition aspect becomes extremely good when it is
produced by Jupiter and the Moon . It is held to be good
when benc6es aspect each olher (7th bouse aspect) . A pla net,
aspecting its own house, whether by tbe 7tb hOll se aspect or
special aspect, will naturally increase the signification of that
house.
~ ~aye said that Mars aspects tbe 4th 8!ld 8th hQuses in
addition 10 the usual 7th bouse aspect . . The !ltb house aspect
is a square aspect and sometimes tbis is evil and sometimes
beneficial. For iostance, if Mars, as lord or the 4th and the
9th houses (sec Chapter on Key Planets) in which circum·
stance he gets special qualification as a Yogokaraka to
produce good, aspects by the 4th house aspect a friendly
planet, the significations of the aspected planet and the house
are greatly enhanced. The same principle applies even in
case: of the 8tb house aspect.
Jupiter aspects the 5th and 9th houses which. in Western
astrology, are J~e aspects. The results ~vary according to
the naturalaDd temporal i:ligoities of the aspecting and the
aspected bodies. Jupiter'l aspect over any planet al a natural
• benefic is of weigbty importance apart from tbe fact tbat be
may be temporarily iII·disposed.
S'i£,D aspects tbe 3td and the 10th housci. As a natural
malefic. his aspects arc bad. But the aspects produce lood
in case Saturn acquires beoeficence by temporal situation .
Here some observations on aspects have to be made. The
euct quantum of an aspect cast by an aspect ins body on an
aspected body can be mathematically mealured by following
--~._.ri!
- .~Ji ~-. .....................................................d.
On ASpects
the method given in Graha alld Bhava Dalas. But for the.
general purposes of predicatio n, until the reader is quite
61
familiar with astrological mathematics, it will be in order if
full aspects (7th house or 180) for all planets and special
aspects of Saturn. Iupiter and Man are taken into account.
In the chart illu strated on page 42 the following aspects
are present: Saturn aspects the Sun (Jrd hou se), Jupiter
(7th house) and the ascendant (10th bouse). The Moo n
aspects Jupiter (7th house). Mars. Merc ury and Venus
aspec t the ascendant. Mars also aspects Ju piter (4th hou se),
and Rahu (11th ho use). Jupiter aspects Rallu (5tb house),
Saturn and the Moon (7th hou se) and the Sun (9th house) .
According to Western astro logy, aspects are reckoned
from mutual longitudinal distance$ (: f planets. When one
planet is at a certain Dumber of degrees away from another
body. they are said to be in aspect.
The following are the major aspects >-
Conj unction:-Two heavenly bodies in the same longitude.
Opposition:
The distance between the two bodies is 180 ~
Trine: do,
Square: do .
SeItile : do.
Paralie'·'declination : When two bodies have the same
declination (Kraoli).
Tbe effect of an aspect is felt even if tbe planets are not
cuctly in the mutual distances mentioned above. Therefore
a so-called orb of aspect-and this var ies in each aspect-is
allowed. The orbs of aspects are:

Trine 6. 8°

The influence of an aspect (e.g., sextile) starts when tbe
planets are 53° away from each otber, gradually increase
(applying) and it will be maximum at 60; it tben decreases
(separating) when the effect is almost nil at 67.
Take for instance Saturn and the SUD in the example
chart. The angular distance between the two planets is n~
49. The sex tile aspect ceases at 67. Therefore there is no
aspect between them. Take again Saturn and Mercury. The
mutual distance is ~ 4° 13 / • It is a square aspect (separating)
between Saturn and Mercury. There are also other variations
of aspects brought ahout by two planets remaining in tbe
same sign and Dot in conjunction but another planet occuPY-
iog a trine in respect of the two. Readers will do well to
refer to aoy teltt·book 00 Westero astrology for more details.
The good or bad nature of aspects depends upon the angle
of aspects. Foe ins.tance, opposition (1110") and square (90°)
are always held to be evil irrespective o f the nature of the
planels forming the aspects. The trine and selttile are gene-
rally held to be good.
Such a classification of aspects is erroneous. If for
instan ce Jupiter is in Cancer and Mars in Aries, Western
astrologers hold this bad. Commonsense suggesls this is an
exceJlent aspect and Hindu astrology say:; so . Why should a
square a~pect be always bad unless planets involved are
malefics 1 I am not'convinced of the soundness of this view.
The reader need not worry with these controversial points.
But he may take it that aspects as considered by tbe Hindu
system have a sound and scientific basis.

Ayurdaya or Longevity
Many advantages can be derived by ascertalOlng before-
hand, the presence or otberwise, of combinations, indicAting
early death of the child We know very well that despite tbe
utmost care on the part of the parents, diseases of a dangerous
nature and violent accidents do happen to children and ~place
their lives in jeopardy. Astrology can forewarn the parents
of such times o f danger to their children. Astrologers, not
the rank and file, those really well-versed in the science . do
hold that they can afford the physician a certain prognosis.
An astrologer's work in this re spec t is priceless in value when
compared to that of the doctor.·
After the horoscope is cast, the primary question is
necessarily tbe probable duration of life. For, wben a child
bas a poor longevity to its credit, it would be unnecessary to
ellamine the other favourabl e combinations. However promi·
sing the horoscope may be, it will be futile 10 study the
future. unless long life is assured.
Tbe span of human life can be brought under four impor·
tant divisions. They are:
J. Balarishta (in fant mortality).- The combinations of
planets rendering the child die before it is 8 years.
2. AlpaJu (short lifd .-Death between 8 and 32 years .

4. Pumavu Cfulllifel.-Fro m 75 to 120.
Some auth ors hold that Mad hyayu extends from 32 to 70

does not seem to have won general acceptance as tbe nalural
span o f life is 120 years according to Vim shottari Dasa and
consequently. Purn ayu must extend to this limit.
I shall take the reader tbrough all these variou s divisio ns
in sepa rate paragraphs. First, the nature of the horoscope,

CHA PTER XV
Marakas or Death inflicting Planets
Maraka s arc planets possessed orlhc power of infl icting
death. Death generally occurs during the periods and sub·
periods of such planets. Suppose a horoscope indicates
midd le life or Madhyayu. whereas t he Dasa of a most powerful
rnaraka comes into operation after 80 years . In such a
circumstance tbe period of a planet, no matter even if it is
les s malicious in causing death which comes within the
ma1tim uID number of years allotted for Madh~ayu, must be
considc-rcd as bringing ahout death, in preference to tbe most
malicious one. Ascertain beforehand, whether a horoscope
indicates short. middle or long life; det ermine the maraka
planets and the times when their influences will cQme to
fruition.
The 8th house from Lagoa (ascendant) and the 8th from
that, i,e., the 3rd from Lagna arc termed bouses of life. The
7th house ano the 2nd bouse are called houses of deat!!.., The
2nd ho-;s;-isal;a ysstroo'g er in i~i1jcting deatb tban tbe 7th.
Planets wbo occupy the 2nd are stronger tban the planets wbo
own it, in tending to cause death aod the planets who arc in
associatio n with tbe lord of the 2nd are tbe most powerful in
causing death.
Thus the lords of the 2nd and tbe 7th, tbeir occupants
and the planets who are in conjunction with them arc tbe
maraka planets. If marakas cannot be found out of these
th ree , then the planet in conjunction witrdhc lord of the 12th,

even if it is a benefic, causts death in his Dasa (period), in tbe

12th) does not come, tben one most powerful among the lords
of tbe 3rd, 6th and 8tb becomes maraka. · If the Sun and
SlIkea (Venus) or lords of the 2nd and 7th get Kefldradh ipalya
(lordship of quadrant)-tbey arc sure 10 become ma ra kas.
Summari sing tbe above, death will be caused by:
I. Planets who occupy the 2nd and 7th houses.
2. PlanelS who afe lords of the 2nd and 7tb hou ses .
3 . Planets who are not owners of the 2nd and the 7th
houses·, and who are not occupying tbose bouses but wbo join
with the lords of tbose bouses, I.e., tbe 2nd and tbe 7th.
4. If tbe periods of tbe planets occupying or owning
deatb bouses do Dot come in time, tben death may occur in
tbe Dasa of planets who arc not Yogakaraka3 but who
become evil and conjoin lords of tbe houses of death .
5. Lords of the 3rd and the 8th arc also probable causers
of death if death docs not occur in tbe Oasas, etc., mentioned
in iteD\ 4.
6. If tbe Dasa of a death-inflicting planet docs not at all
come into operation, then the most malicious planetS in the
horoscope will cause dellth.
Saturo. inclined to produce evil by his conjunction with
the lords of death houses, will cause death in preference to
,. aoy of those planets.

CHAPTER XVI
Judgment of 8 Horoscope
The notable triumphs in Hindu astrology SO far as the
predictive portion is conceroed are entirely due to the great
scrutiny tbe plaoetary inHueoccs are subjected to in the
analysis of a horoscope and the relative values of the good
and evil sources of strength ofrlitrerent planets and bhavas.
The following points are noteworthy in the consideralion
of a horoscope :-

they produce much good.
The greatest assets of a man in tbis life, apart from the
shadowy wealth and fa me. arc self·respect, courage and
frowes!. In a horoscope tb ese can be determined by consider-
in g M ars and tbe cha racteristics attributed to him which are
di scussed in the future chapters. But bere I shall confine
mysel f to tbe discussion of the most sa lient points invo lved in
the judgment of a horo3co pe. The lord of the ~ rd also must
be considered ; bo th o f them must occupy a friendly house
and mu st be fouod not in a BhallasandhiQunctioo of two
bouses) but io a Bha\ltlmadhva (mid-point of a bouse). Mars
must occupy the 10th for good courage and the lord of tbe
3rd and the 11th occupy favourable and friendly nava~sas .
r The positio n of 1upiter also con siderably improves the sttua.
i tion by making the person not depend upon another but to
earn tbe name of a self-made man. Jupiter adds to the
; dignity of the person io a sure but silent way.
~ Marriage is a landmark in the history of the human race.
With regard to the number or wives, the character and tem-
perament of one' s wife, her disposition towards the husband
and her own health and happiness. much ioforn;aation is
incorporated io Chapter XIX under the caption 7th house or
wben afflicted. has given rise t~ . mo.re tban one fegal wir~.. It
COiirdoe vOlii::he(rror';rth' ~sufficie~t con6dence that Venu s in
favourable positions ,is certain to assure marital felicity and
success with a single wife. Tbe marriage aspect wo uld be
most important to tbe Hindus among whom tbe dangero us
contagion of divorce has not spread as in the Western nat ions.
Considerable auen tion has been bestowed upon Ib is subject
by tb e ancient writers. When Venus occupies th.e h o~se of
Jupiter or tbat o f the lord of the 1st or tbe 9th, eltbe,r In the
R.a~i or Navamsa. tbe native will bave a chaste, l OV ing and

CHAPTER XIX
Judgment of Bhav•• (Housea)
The twelve bbavas or bouses represent tbe entire bistory
of the individual. By a careful ICfotiny of tbe planetary
combinations aud aspects in tbe twelve bouses, tbe
whole life of a Iperson caD be predicted with sufficient
accuracy. The combinations given below are not chosen at
random hut arc choscn from a study of the boroscopes of
persons of vari.ous ranks and eminences. Many have been
ptbered from tbe best and tbe most standard works on
II
I
Hindu astrology . 10 applying these rules to practical boro-
scopes, tbe student must definitely bear in mind that they-arc
merely for his guidance. In addition to tbis, be must also
exercise discretio n and common sen se coupled, of course,
with a certain amount of intuition . For instance, the astro-
logical principles say tbat if the 4th house is occupied by
benefi cs and its lord well situated, tbe native gets high edu-
cation. This is quite sufficient for an intelligent student to
anticipate certain otber things not meotionod here. In fact
they strike themselves to the student. In a boroscope. a
bene6c may be found in tbe 4th-whicb may be bis house of
exaltation. debilitation, or enmity or a friend's sign. Even
though a benefic may be in the 4th, the resuits it gives
apparently vary according to its disposition towards the lord
of that sign. If Jupiter is in exaltation in tbe '4th house,
religious learning may be predicted. If he is in debilitation,

Some Specie I Yoga.
Yogas in Sanskrit astrological nomenclature m~an special
planetary combinations for the production of higb P.9litical
power and influence, great wealth, philanthropy. asceticism,
misery. debt s, demoralisatioo and curruption. III all boro-
scopeS, these yogas must be properly scrutinised aloog witb
tbe application of tbe usual astrological rules. These impor.
taot yogas make or mar a man for. if special arisntQ$ or
misfortunes are fouod in a horoscope, tbe person will be
always miserable, even tbough according to ordinary 3'1tro-
logical rules, such a boroscope is a promising one. The word
Yoga is quite indigenous and such a system canoot be found
io the astrological principles of other nations. These reveal
a flood of information to th e astrological student. when pro-
perly studied and applied. Tbe Western reader must clearly
comprehend tbe technicalities iovolved in tbe application of
these yogas and try to understand their significance thoroughly.
There are differeot types of yogas-RajoJ'oga-producing
higb political power; Dnanayoga or combinatioD for great
wealth; Gnanayoga or combination for real bigber knowledge
and renunciation of the world; and Arishlayoga-series of
misfortunes orthe most baneful oature. There are thousands
of lucb yogas given in the original Sanskrit works and tbeir
reproduction bere would mean firstly a great slrain on tbe
comprebending powers of tbe reader and secondly, increase
of tbe bulk of the book beyond proportioo . The results

CHAPTER XXIV
Results of Dasas and 8huktis
( Periods and Sub-periods)
.We have already learnt the method o f finding the ru ling
period (V~'m!hollarj Dasa ), its balance a t the time of birth,
and bo~ It IS s ucceeded by s ubsequen t dasa.r in a particular
o rd~r (~tde.Chapter X li). Dasas are major periods in whi ch
the indica lion s o f the planets are r&alised .
. Say, for in s.tan~e when a man will have ma rriage or
I ssue~ or promo tio n In his pOSition, has to be de termin ed. For
m~rrla8e, tbe 7th h o use is examined and then the most bene-
fiC ial plan.et whic h assures a ll marita l happin ess found out.
To determine the probable period of marriage we must fi d
out w.hen that partic ul ar planet assumes c~ntrol over t~is
event 10 prefe rence 10 othe.rs so tbat tbe time o f realisation
may be ascertained.
A number of comb~n ali o n s are given bel ow whi ch give tb e
probable results a parllcular planet will prodUce during its
~asa. The st~den t must be carefu l in applying these prin-
Ciples to practical horoscopes. He must bea r in mind that th
s ho uld not be applied verbatim. The resu lts vary accordi:;
to the strength and weakness of the Dasa (main period) lord
the Bbukti (sub-pe riod) lord and the Antara (Sub--sub.periodj'
lord.
. In pre~icting the events, in a Oasa, a Bhukti or a still
mlQor period An t ara. ~he general results due to tbe planet
should be carefully weighed and incongruous results. when-
Re, ult. of DISII and Bbuktis 14'
ever they occ ur, should be avoided . It is difficult t o lay dow n
any particular rules which will apply in all cases. Therefore,
we give some of th e important ru les by way o f example, The
reader may draw similar canc1usions. baving all the time
regard to tbe stren gth and propensity of the planet. The
re sult sbould be consistent with the person for whom it is
intended, under the condit ion of li fe in which he is brough t
up as well as the physical poss ibil ity at the time. For instance
political success may be predicted in the Dasa of the Sun , if
he is in Aries in the 10th hou se. This political succeSS ' wili be
at its maximum p rovided the Sun is not aspected by malefics
and his pOSit ion is equall y strong in the Navamsa. If he is
aspected by Sat urn who may be in Aquarius, then in ~Rlte o f
tbe SUD bein g in Aries, complete politica l success canhot bl..
and ought not to be predic ted .
The lo rd of t he Oasa has a qua li ty of his owo stamped
upon him . This will aga'in be modified by the nature of the
bouse, the n atu re of tbe sign, the nature of the aspectU"ag
bodies, the nature of the lord of the constella tion tb e Oasa
lord is in, tbe favo urable and un favourable situa tion o f t.he
lord of Oasa in tbe Navamsa and va rious other fac to rs .
In general we may say:
1. The Oasa period of Saturn, if it happens to be the 4th
Oasa, will be unfavourab le.
2. The Oasa period of Jupiter will be unfavourable if it
happens to be th e 6th Oasa.
. If Sa turn and Jupite r are strong and favourably disposed,
the evil effe..:ls get co n ~iderably modified.
3. The Oasa period o f the lords o f the 6th and the 8th
produce harmfu l results unless they acquire beneficence
otherwise .
4. The Dasa periods o f planets in Shava sandhis (ju nc-
tiona l points) will be unable to produce their full res ult s.

.S: I,D the course o f a Dua. a planet produces sucb resultl
as It indicate s by ~jrtue o f ownership, association, location
and aspect. For In stance, favourable position of the lord of
tbe 2nd will give good income aod wealth during his Dasa.
6. The Dasa results stand to be modified by the effect of
GocharQ or transiting planets.
1. When LAgna (Ascendaot) is powerful, during theDasa
of lord of Lagna, favourable result s can be expected to occur
-s~cb as ri se in profession, good health and general pros-
perlty .
8. Lord of the 2nd in his Oasa gives wealth.
9. Lord of the 3rd during his Dasa gives new friends
belp to brothers, lea,dership, Hod physical pain (if afflicted). •
',D. If the lord IS ,;eJl placed as already explained above,
he will do good regardmg tbe house or ho uses with wbich he
may h a~e anyt~ing t~ do ~ilber by way of ownership or aspect
or locauon dUring hi S period, while if the lord is weak and iII-
placed, he will inOict misery .
11. The periods of lord s of the 5th and the 9th are said
~o. be good, so mu ch so that the periods of planets, whic h are
J~lne~ or Otherwise related with them, are also supposed to
give rhe to good.
'.2. The general effect of the Dasa (majo r period) get
mO~lfied by the planet that rules the particular Bhukfl (sub-
peClod)_ fn suc h a case, however , tbe inHuences o f both the
planet~ are to be compounded and the relation between thc m
taken Into account
I J_ During the Dasa period of a malefic planet when
the sub-period of a planet ruling tbe 3rd, the Stb or the 7th
sl.ar (reckoned .from the natal star) is in progress, the subject
will have a period of trial and tribulation .
14. Unfavourable result s will be realised wben the sub-
lord and th.e major lord are situ ated in the 6th and the 8th or
the 12th and the 2nd from each other respectively.
,
Result, ('of Dasu ."d Bhuklis 143
IS. The s ub-period o( the lord of the 51h in tbe major

CHAPTER xxv
Source and Nature of Death
Fatalists and atheists lDay indulge in the hallucination s
that death is accidental . that it is merely the resolution of the
('omponent elements of the human body into their former
states and that it signifies an end to tbe activitie s of the soul
as it becomes incorporated with the general ethereal currents;
but in rea~ity it does not seem to be so. There is much signifi-
cance attached to this by the Hindus as well a s other people
believing in the existence of a Creator without who se k.now.
I ledge "not even a sparrow faUs to the &round'"
II Death doc;s not come all of a sudden; neither does birth
take place so . . Man does not come from nothingness and
disappear into the region s of annihilation . Some mysteriou s
and s ubtJe power seem s to control reaulate the various pha ses
of human exi stence , like birth , life and death. operating in a
definite order and often tran scending reason. logic and com-
monsense . The pre sence and operation of thi s power is
demon strable by everyday occurrences.
Here comes the importance of the laws of Xarma and tbe
laws of continuity and eyolution. The Hindus grant the
existence of worlds other than our own and the possibility of
the soul migrating into good or bad states of future existence
after death. according as the KJJrma done in this world is lOad
or bad . As Socrates puts it. death is either the cessation "of
all human activities or tbe migration of tbe soul into a happier
region .
sourt'e 3Dd Nature of Death I7J
Philosophers say that death is a stale of tran ~ ition for
the soul to enter into more subtle form s of t'l xi stence and th~
duration o f life in such states of exi stence depends upon the
balance sheet of Karma at onc's credit at the time of dealh
bere.
By a scertaining the length of life beforehand, car~full y. and
tb~ nature and source of death. it may be possible to prevent
many cata ~ trophe s and family strifes in thi s life. Some aver
thai it may also be poss ible to p.ro\ong the life. by recourse
to yoga and other remedies prescribed by the ancient Mahar-
sbi s.. Many times the !liudden death of a person lea\'es his
widow. children and o ther dependents in a slate of abject
poverty . Adequate provisiot)" could ha ve been made for
tbe se pt"0 ple if the period of death wrre previously a ~certained.
The following information will be: useful to find out tbe
place . nature and source of death, the pa rt icular diseases
which the native suffers from at the time of death , unnatural
deaths by drownings, tortu re~, accidenls . wild bea s t ~, suicide,
Murder, etc. , which' can be prevented , Ihe period of uown·
sciou sness before death, the natu re o f cremation or burial of
tbe dead body. the nalure of the pa st and fulure birth s :And
tbe poss ibilit y or o therwise of attainin g moksha or ema nci-
pation .
The disease from which a perso n die s i5 predicted by the
nature of the planet. which aspect s the IlIh house and the part
of tbe body to be affccted would be that represented by the
8th hou se in "he division unljler Kolopurushn (see cha pler on
Medical Astrology for Ihis divi sion ).
In other words , the humour belonging 10 the planet (which
is given in p. 174) in the 8th ho use causes the particular disease
which produces death . If many planets occupy the 8th house.
the body will be su bject to several attack s resulting from an
excess of the variou s humours indicated by such powerful
planet ~ and death will en sue . If the Sun , tbe Moo n, Mars,

the so~rces indicated by the particular planet. I f no planet
OCCUPies or ~Spectl the Ihb. then the lord of the 8tb bouse
must be cons~der~d and the nature of disease determined from

can be ascertained tbus:-

CHAPTER XXVII
Praana Saltra or Horary Astrology
Horary Astrology deals exclusively with the aoswering of
questio ns in Itbe ligbt of planetary ioflucncCJ. relating to
important events in I the daily transactioDs of human life.
This branch indeed form. a mOlt useful and prominent aspect
of altr~logical science inasmuch as it helps us 10 foretell tbe
occurrence of many important future eveDts beforehand.
how and when s ucb eVeDts will lake place, what their exact
nature is whether or Dot they terminate favourably, who is
instrumental for tbem and how far such events 8rc beneficial
or detrimental to the interet!s of tbe party concerned, witbout
reference to the birth chart.
Supposing a perSOD wants to know whether bis It'?.lcn
property can be regained or Dot. whether an individual
suffering seriously recovers from bis illness or not, w.bether
if would be profitable to invest money in any business tun sac~
tion wbether a man would be ,uccessful in any speculation.,
whe;ber tbe land 5 be is planning 10 purchase would bring
him luck and whetber, in fact, so many everyday human
events would be beneficial or no t, then all these can succeb~
fully be answered with tbe aid of Horary Astrology. The
predictions based on its principles seldom go wrong unless
the \lery foundation is shaky.
If any obstacles are tbrown on tbe way of luccessjn a ny
undertaking or enterprise. by ascertaining these beforehand by
meaDS of H6rary Astrology, we can resort to remedies to

minimise or completely overcop1e such evils, aod augment
tbe good, so tbat the future way for ODe', progress and
prosperity may be smootbened. .
In tbe case o f Prasne or Horary Astrology, first ascerlaln
dic e-act lime at whicb aquestion or query is put and for
iliitiime ~mark the positions of planet s and tbe A.sccndant
and determine tbe balanc;e of tbe Dua and Bbukti: Mark
ar.o tbe Navamsa diagram". In fact construct a map o f .lhe
beaven. fo r the question time just-as you would do for b ~ rtb
time. A Dumber o f typical questiflns are a lso given in my
Astr%lY Jor Beginners.
Thi s Asccndant is called tbe Prasoa lagna or the rising
silO at the time o f tbe questio n.
I . The success and failure in any unaertaking, sucb as
starting of business, examination result s, e.tc. , sbo~ld be
pr'edicted with reference to~the Pra s~a L~gna .. Tbe ob!~t of
the querist will succeed if a bcne6clal sign rases and JOIOS a
favourable navamsa, or if tbe rising sign be io a Sfrsh,QdQ'ya
Rasi. If tbe beneficial rising sign is aspected , by malelics
and its lord has also a similar position tbe querist will suc~ed
after some effort.
, Whetber a particular query refers to mineral s,' vegetables
or animals must be lint asccrtained as per rules given below
and then, its success or failure prognosticated.
2. If, at tbe tim~ of a query, the r ,sing sip be 1st, 4tb
and 7tb ' 2nd 5th and 8tb ; alld Jrd, 6th and 9tb nanmsas,
tbC que; tion 'refers to minerals, \legetable~ and animals
respectively in an odd sign, and in an e\len SlgO , the reverse
bolds good .
o3. If, at the time of query, Saturn is fouod in ao odd
sip from tbe Pruna Lasna, the woman will ba\le a male
~cbiId and if Saturn occupies an even sign, a female cbild

4. tr Saturn is in th e 7tb bou se, the querist will be
married within 3 montbs from the date of question . If the
Moon in 3, S. 6, 7 or II is aspectcd by Jupiter. tbe Suo aod
Mercury, and if benefics o,,-cupy quadrants or trincs, tbe
quedst will have marriage vcry carly.
S. If at tbe time of query it is found that tbe SliD,
Venus or Mars joins tbe 7th bouse, it means tbe querist bas
Ii
committed adullery with another mao's wife. Jupit~r in the
7tb i ndicates bis own wife. Mercury, a prostitute, and Saturn
a very low-ca ste woman.
6. Predict the safe rcturn of the person gone to foreign
I land,., if the query refers to tbis point , if tbere is any planet
retrograde between tbe 8tb bouse and the Asceodant.
7. If a query refers to the advent of enemies in a war
or otberwise, such enemies would retreat, even if they have
come some di stance, .hould be predicted when the 4th 5th
and 6th hOUSe' from tbe Prasna Lapa are occupied by' evil
planet.. The enemy even if be has com.: for an attack would
return back within that period (in months) obtained by
reckoning from t he Prasna Lagna to the planet fully possessed
of strengtb. If such a powerful planet falls in a fixed sign,
double the number of months, ifhe occupies a common sign,
treble the Dumber o f month •.
Say at the time of a query Cancer rises and Jupiler
possessed of full strength is in tbe 8th, ,;z., Aquarius. Count
from Cancer to Aquarius. Tbis is 8. Since Aquarius is a
fixed sign . double 8, you will get 16. That is, if this query
relates 10 Itny war, the enemy would return within 16 months
or peace efforts would be successful within 16 month s from
date of tbe commencement o f regular hostilities.
8. Success in speculation. etc .• should be predicted when

CHAPTER XXVlll
Unknown Birth Times
The birth data of many people will not have been recorded
properly. In many a case, even the date of birth will be
unknown . In such cases it is possible to find out, rather
create, a horoscope on the basis of certain fundamental
assomptions.
O~e should ~ot run away with the idea that the principle s
enuncIated herein are conclusive. An attempt is made in
the following pages to give the reader an idea of the methods
, recommended by ancient Hindu astrological writers for
I
erecting boroscopes of persons whose birth dates arc not
known. And these methods merit further research and
investigation ~y s~rious stu~ents of astrology. It is boped
that workers In thIS field wtll continue investigations and
carry views herein outlined to a more extended issue since
this work is intended to merely lay down general principles.
.The rules involved are laborious and take away the
patience of the reader. I have given only one important
process and have illustrated the same with an eumple so
tbat tbe reader may not find it difficult to understand these
principles clearly.
The astrologer, as soon as a person, who will not have
recollection of his birth date or time, comes to him for
consultation. must record the exact time, the direction and
other details of hi, coming and find out the exact positions
of planets and the bhavas for that time; or the time at which

,map cast for tbat time· It must be rememoered that tbis

bii1b of tlie mind and not merely the body ; similarly Ihe very
inclination to know tbe future, raised in the mind of a man,
i. given expression to, not at any choscn moment but at
.. random-rather in a sudden manner.
I. When the time of impregnatioD or birth is DOt known,
cast a boroscope (or the Ji~e _ ~f query" of the person and
makc.9:u!...tbe birth chart from the rising sign at the time of
,r- .~
query. If the Prasna Lagna (Ascendant at question time)
be the first half of the Ascendant, the birth of the querist will
have occurred in Uttarayana (SUD'S northerly course); if it
be the otber half, the birtb will have occurred in Dakshina~
yana (Sun's southernly course).
2. If the rising Dwadasamsa at the question time is the
ht, 2nd, etc., the sign ' occupied by Jupiter at the time of
birth will be the 1st, 2nd" etc., resPectivelY from the Prasoa
Lalna.
By knowing the pos'ilion of Jupiter, fix the age of the
person. Jupiter takes rougbly 12 years to go round the
beavens. .lLw.e ~oow the number of circuits passed by
Jupi~! }r~ m the time of birth, the age of the person can be.
.ddM.m.ined. In many an instance the cycle of Jupiter canno t
be easily dt!termined and in such cases, find out the number
of cycle from tbe part of the , body toucbed by the querist.
Here tbe maximum life is'1aken to be 120 yeara., and this is
divided by 12 (the Dumber of years Jupiter tak'ts for one
CYcle) so tbat we gel 10 years corresponding to the following
djvisions of the human body:

am sa ri$cs . Then Jupiter will be in Libra at tbe birth of the
qucrist. The number of Jupiter cycles must be determined.
Suppose the things arc touched by the querist, tben it means
tbat Jupiter is in the tbird round. So the age of tbe person
sbould be taken to be 12 x 2 " 24 plus the number of years
taken by Jupiter to move from the sign occupied by him at
the question time, viz., 3 in this particular iDstaD~' . That
is, the agc of the queris! is 24 plus 3 = 27 yeafs.
3. The Ruth" (season), the querin was born in, should
be determined with reference to the ruler of the drekkaoa
risi ng on the Prasna Lagna or by the planet occupying the
first bouse. preference being given always to the itrongest oC
the two. If the drekkana of tbe Sun rises or if the SUD
occupies the Prasna Lagua, Ihe RUlkll (see page 42) . will be
Greesbma ; if Venus drekkana rises 01 Venus is in PrasD8
Lagoa-Vasantba; if Mars-Greesbma ; if the Moon-
Varsha; if Mercury-Sarat ; if Jupiter-Hemantha ; and if
Saturn-Sisir~, iflbe Ruthu (season) so obtained does not
agree wilh the'Ayans (cycle), then cbange tbe Moon, Mercury
and Jupiter for Venus. Mars and Saturn respectively, Divide
tbe risiol' drekkana into two equal parts and if tbe first
division is rising, ascribe the first month of the Rllihu. and
,~.. ...w. Bin> Tlm~· 21l

querist.

L tbe birth must be determined by tbe rising minute of the
Pr.. na Lagna.
4. The luoar day of birth of tbe queri st is represented
I; .by tbe number of degrees passed over by tbe Su~ in any
~ particular sign at tbe time of qnestion,
S. The nocturnal or the diurnal nature of the P rasna
Lagna reveals the birth of the querist during the day or
during the oight respectively,
6. The degress rising on the Prasna Ascendant indicate
tbe ghatikas of birth a fter sunrise or sunset as tbe case,
may be.
7. Tbe lunar months of birth can also be determined
from the navamsa occupied by the MOOD at the time of
~uery: or the birth time of the querist will be tbe Prasna
,;l.agoa. or tbe 51h ' or thl". 9tb from it , wbichever is most
\powerful.

science sadly lacks.
Medical Astrology is a part of the grand celestial scieoce
dealing with the several zodiacal. planetary and stellar
influence~ which affect tbe health , constitution, funclion s
and habits of life. In faci. Medicine is a branch of astro-
logy. This conclu sion is clear on its very face . Configurations
of plaoets in the heavens in certain angular positions emanate
certain forces or energies, which , when they are not in
1. harmony with the energies of an individual, bring about
certain disturbances in his physica l and mental dispositions.
To avert the evil in8uences of planets, tbe ancients contem-
plated upon discovering remedies, and the science of Me.dicine
was gradu ally fo unded and developed in this manner.
Each sign of the zodiac repre~ents a certain part of the
"

Z also indicates certain types of diseases. Disease and death
are due to the disturbances in tbe laws of proporti9n and
conjunction of natural forces emanating from the Ptanc~is
and the time s which these disturbances occur, can be
previously ascertained and adequ ~le provision made to arrest
or minimise such evil influences.

CHAPTER XXX
Female Horoscopv*
The combinations hitherto treated of in tbe previous
chapters 8re applicable to botb the sexes but the information
given in tbi s chapter is peculiar to the members of the female
sex.
For instance. there is puberty in girls which indicates that
they are fit for entering the state of motherhood. This is a
peculiar characteristic belonging to the feminine sex. The
importance of first menses has so much of physical, mental
and spirit ual signi fi cance that it will be impossib le to bring
them home unless we devate special attention to its study. So
many otber things such as conception, delivery. etc., a re
peculiar to the women.
Some o f the ancient writers held that even though tbe
horoscopes of the women indicate any Raja Yogas-Iike
bestowing political power, etc. , such yogas must be applied to
their husbands . Today the order has been rapidly changing.
Ad vocates of sex equality have been springing up like mush-
rooms. They want to see that no barriers exist between the
males and the fem ales, God knows for what purpOSe. Women
have been competing with men in aU walks of life. The type
of equality, which we have lKen aiming at seems to be similar
to that whicb the West bas realised zlready and for the results
• For further details refer to Slrl Jataka or FftmlJle H orolropy by
Prof. 8 . SUryanarlin RIO.
f" ""·"·0' '"
. p(wbich it has begun to repent. In ancient India, the equality
WII of a different nature. History and tradition afford us any
",umber of instaoces whicb go to establisb tbat the women
. never occupied an inferior place in Hindu families or in
ilindu society and tbat a sentiment of reverence and respect
bad always been associated with their names. Witb the
advent of-divorce. companionate marriage and other inj urious
reforms, tbe entire fabric of borne-life and domestic barmony
ire tbreatened witb complete destruction. Pure love is being
replaced by commercial love. And divorce courts are being
resorted to on flimsy grounds or pretexts for getting rid of
the husband br wife. A study of tbe Female Roroscopy will
be of immense interest in view of tbe rapid advancement
women bave been making in all walks of life.
Important CombiaalioDt

complexion, beauty of general appearaoce. Marital bappiness

2. If tbe Ascendant or tbe Moon falls in tbe Trimsamsa
of Aries or Scorpio and if Mars is not well situated, the girl
becomes a prostitute before puberty, If tbe Ascendant falls
in the Trimsamsa of Venus , sbe becomes adulterous : if in
Jupiter-virtuous, modest and dignified; if in Mercury-
cunning; jf in Saturn - dependent and depraved.
3. If Venus and Saturn exchange tbeir navamsas, tbe girl
becomes extremely passionate and gratifies her instincts by
uonatural methods.

In giving the natiooal predictions, the folloWJDg factors
must be carerully considered :_
1. A boroscope cast for the commencement orthe Lu~ar
year enables one to predict world events during that year WIth
'a fair degree or accuracy.
2. Mark the boroscope for the time of the entry of the
SUD into Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn aDd analyse_ t~e
~osition of p)anetSiii<f1he consequeiiT~~ T6es.e will
.ive the general results for t"fie wo rld du tlng tbe parti cular

3. Consider the lun ations every month and the plan.cla ry
positions and bow they stand with rererence to the particular
nation or nations.
Say, for in stan ce, the lu nation takes place in Aries and
Saturn and Mars arc there with otber malefic influences.; ~he

The results will be that the death of the monarch is indicated,

and .iSDS of revolution will be apparent . If the lame combi-

---rho most impartaal aspect io Muodanc Astrology is tbe
Planetary Cabinet which will be changios .portfolios every
-year and thus the results wlll also be chanling. Planctary
Cabioct means simply tbis-All tbe leven planets will become
king, prime minister, commander-in-chief, lord of vegetation,
lord of minerals, lord of juices, lord of grains, cattJe, etc.,
and tbese offices will be changing every year. Tbe planet
which becomes king in one year becomes prime minister in the
next year and so on. These details can be ascertained by
looking into any standard almanac.
4. The Sun and the Moon are generally royal planets; if
in any year either of these does oat become k.ing, then during
tha' year, the royalty will greatly suffer. Similarly, Mars is
tbe permanent commander-In-chief. Ir, however, in any
particular year he docs not become the commander-in,chief,
the army and navy during that year must suffer. All tbese
details must be considered.
S. The appearan ce of eclipses pl ays a great part in
national astrololY. The influences will be exerciled for a
period of 6 months before and 6 months after the appearance.
The effects of the eclipse will find manifestation in the
countries tbroush which the eclipse passes. Jf two eclipscs-
of course one solar and one lunar-occur within 14 days, tbore

.erallx will be natio~l tro~ble~l, .ssassinations and war
activities (,,'d~ tbe lc:.adlns aCUcle In tbe October 1941 issue
of TaB A.n.OLOOICAL MAGAZINB).
There werc.!wo eclipses in March 1~~4 withi~ 14 dayL.. and
ftor. B. Suryanarain Rao, in the ' Ma! cbT914 issue of TaB
ASTROLOGICAL MAGAZINB, predicted tbe ~utbrea~ of .t~e
Great War in the August of that year and saId that Its orlllO
would be in Europe aod that it would arise from tbe assassi-
nation of a prince.
That Roosevelt would be elected as the President of
America was predicted by tbe author in the September 1932
issue o f TUB ASTROLOGICAL MAGAZINE, wbile the election
took. place in Nevember, on the basis of a sola r eclipse in that
year.
It was also pointed out thtlt there would be chaos Bnd
confusion in tbe Parliamentary debates in London, that a new
Cabinet would be formed, tbat U.S.A. would suffer from great
financi al troubles and that a number of children would die in
England on account of some disease. All these came to pas:3.
Mr. Roosevelt's election for the Presidential Chair of
America, for the tbird time, was clearly predicted in the
September 1940 issue of THB ASTROLOGICAL MACAZINB.
Thus eclipses have great significance in Mund ane Astro·
logy.
6. The appearance of comets and the directions in which
they appear sbould also be considered. The country repre-
sented by the signs, in which comets appear, suffers, and tbe
health of tb e people will be affected.
7. Laltly. the nativitieS of individuals themselves who
rule either as kings or as Presidenn will have great significance
aod tbey should be wellttudied.
8. Earthquakes must also be considered. Thu! Mund.De

Muhurtba, as a matter of fact, belps us to dekrmine,
when exactly the influences contained in Time are well
di_posed, when they are ill-disposed, wbal combinatiops of
plaocts produce beneficial inBuences and bow tbe invisible
currents could be made to Bow easily. after a business is

CHAPTER XXXII'
Gocharaphala or Resulte of Tranaft.
It will be ken that in the preparation of a horoscope,
planetary positions will be fixed in their respective longitudes.
They are tbere and they will continue to be fixed. But tbere
is no stoppage of planetary movements. Pluets take varying
. periods for moving from one sigo to anotber. Sucb move-
ments give rise to the stimulation of radioactive disintegration
which. 00 falliog on tbe individual, can. produce psycbo-
physical changes in his character and disposition. Calculations
mUst be made Dol only io regard to tbe Dasas and Bhuktis
ruliog at any particular period but also due consideration
should be bestowed 00 results of transits or Gochafa move.

some travelliog, 'OOlic and aDal trOUbles, bumlhatlon and

with fr-iends, diseases, bigh blood preSSure, royal and official
displeasure. The Sun's transit in the 9th house will cause to
tbe nath'e dan'ger, bumiliatioD, dependency, disappointment
and separation. One will accomplish his desire and plans,
and suc~ss will attend on all kinds of undertakings when tbe
Sun is ig Jhe 10th. In the 11th, tbe passage oCtbe Sun will
coufer on a persoo honour, health, wealth and success, When
tbe Sun passeS through there will be sorrow,
creation of a situation Joss to ever·vtbing,

It must be noted that when passing tbrough tbe first 10
degrees of a sign, Mars and tbe Sun produce results. Of the
different planets, tbe Gochara results of the slow moving
planets, Jupiter and Saturn, are held to. be the most powerful.
Tbe triennial results may be ascerta10ed from Saturn, the
yearly effects from Jupiter. the monthly results from other
planets and the daily influences from tbe Moo n.
We shall first enumerate tbclikely results tbat are supposed
to accrUe on account of transits of tbe different planets in the
different signs from the Moon and tben describe the special
rules governing Gocbara. When the Moon transits the sign
ccu ied b her at the time OIhirth of a perSOD, tbe native wlli
get excellent food, bed and clothes. When t e MOOD passes
through the 2nd hOlUe, loss of respect and of money and
'" H;.d. ",.,Il~hl. A....lol>
obstaclcs in the way o f success arc to be predicted. ]n the
3td house. the native gets clothes, 'pleasure from wife and
finance ; in the 4tb, be becomes mentally uneasy; in tbe Stb.
suffers from humility. ill-health, pain of mind ' aDd olber
obstacles; in tbe 6th, enjoys wealtb. health. comfon, redemp-
lioD from enemies; 7th house. conveyances, good food and
financial equilibrium. The MOOD transiting the 8tb produces
misery, ill-bealth and fear from unexpected sources; ib tbe 9th
from herself, pain of mind, chest pain, fatigue of body and
the like arc caused. WheD the Moon passes throagh the 10th
house, success will attend in every sphere of activity; in the
11th house. tbe persoo will enjoy prosperity. will set 'wealth
and new friends; when the Moon transits through the 12th
t!&L. he suffers from accidents and injuries.
It may be remarked in passing tba, uoless Gochara is
combined with Ashtakavarga, results cannot be predicted with
appreciable accuracy. suppoa'e the Moon is transiting the
sign occupied by her at birth. The Moon produces beneficial
results provided tbe benefic dots tbere are above 4. If they
are below 4, tben tbe Moon cannot certainly do a. much good
as is ascribed to ber. Planets produce good, bad or indi8'erent
results during tbeir transits at any particular moment, in
accordance with the number of benefic dots which the planets
obtain in tbeir respective Ashtakavargas (see my book A8htakti-
varga System of Prediction for more details regarding
Ashtakavarga).
Agaio, we have to conlider what is called Vedha <an
obstructing force or point) when delineating results according
"to Oochara. The Sun, for instance, tranliting tbe Ilth , 3rd,
IOtb and 6th signs from the radical Moon is suppoted to yield
good results. The Imooth flowing of luch good results will
be obstructed if there are aoy other planetl (simultaneously)
transiting the 5th. 9th, 4th' and 12th silns from the Moon

tbe results will be honour and . health, wealth and success.

CHAPTER XXXV
Practical Horoscopes
For real progress in any science, tbeory and practice must
keep pace with eacb other. I have till now treated of all the
important theoretical principles involved in tbe study' of
astrology and shall now close tbe book with a few practical
boroscopes illustrating such theoretical postulates.
The following boroscopes will greatly help tbe student if
he carefully analyses tbem' in tbe tight of tbe Ihort remarks
wbicb I bave given for eacb boroscope illustrated . In the
selection of horoscopes. I have been careful to scc tbat tbey

Ihat .had more than one marriage. debauchees. philo'sovhers
and In fact people of all temperaments and dispositioDI which
will prove quite interesting and belpful in the lipt of
astrology. .

First of all. cast tbe boroscope of birtb according to tbe
European manner and convert it into tbe terms of Hindu
zodiac by tbe followin g process:
( I) Subtract 397 from tbe year of birth (A.D.).

(2) Multiply tbe. remainder by SO 1/3 seconds; and
reduce the product into degrees, minutes and scco?ds.
Calculation of the Ayanamae (3) Subtract tbis Dumber of degree" mmutes and

of the exact nature o f Ayabamsa. but merely confine myself
to giving a suitable aDd simple method for determining the
