It may surprise a penologist if told that criminal propensity propelled by negative thinking or mens rea (guilty mind) and actus reus (guilty act) can be anticipated with the help of the birth chart. Law of Karma and Law of Crimes While I have been dealing with law since July 1964 after my enrolment as an advocate, took my first lesson in astrology 7 years earlier in 1956-1957. I find a correspondence between ‘the higher Law of Karma and the lower Law of Crimes. The operation of the Law of Karma is immutable and the consequences of any act can be made out with the help of astrology. But the Law of Crimes sometimes does not operate with full vigour and oftentimes, fails. For the ‘first clues to criminal streaks in a chart, one has to examine the weakness and afflictions to the Moon, Mercury, the 4th and Sth houses as well as the Ascendant, its ruler and the Sun from the cruel planets Saturn, Mars, Rahu and Ketu and if these factors are in Sarpa, Nigala, Pasa and Raudra Drekannas. Mons Rea A negative mind impels a person to commit crime. The Moon (Manahkaraka) and Mercury (Buddhikaraka) are indicators of the thinking mind, The 4th house and 4th lord indicate the heart or chitta, The Sth house and the Sth lord show intelligence as well as motivation and are indicators of the power of discrimination.

These are indicators of the lower mind whose Karaka is Mars. The affliction to the 10th is an important factor. Itis also said that for heinous crimes not only the 6th house and éth lord but also the 8th lord is important. According to Uttarakalamrita, the 6th house indicates Ugra Karma and the 8th house refers to Ugra kriyatsu Udyamch or initiating and indulging in. violent or crue! deeds. The Karakas, namely, Mercury ‘and Satum also need to be considered.
