Chandra-Mangala Yoga
This part of the text is a small part of the Siva Devaguru Brihaspati Centre sessions on
conjunctions or yutis of various planets.
Chandra Mangala Yoga is actually yuti or conjunction of Chandra and Mangala in any
house.
Grahas conjoined Chandra do the following:
1. They do influence the pranas, longevity and health
2. They create the tide (grahana) within our mind, and influence the mental and
emotional aptitude
3. They impose their infleunce on our attitude and social consciousness. They show
external desires of the mind.
Please, caculate the guna chakra so that you can understand the change of Gunas and
predominant guna and graha over this conjunction.Therefore, this conjunction gives
following effects in short:
1. strong pranas however they are moving and consuming fast, good vitality, dangerous
for longevity or accidents, heart /blood related problems,
2. fighting mind and spirit, self protective, desire to rule and influence others, desire to
top the soceity in chosen subject, irritated, aggressive, vindictive and dangerous,
oppresive
3. family suffers, spouse suffers, not giving, extremes in social behaviour etc
Traditional Upadesha:
1.Our tradition calls this Yoga Bagala Yoga
Natives with this yoga are extremelly strong, and have strong genes of Mother.They are
very tough and have big fighting power.If they worship Bagala Devi, they will have long
life,
strong
pranas
and
be
successful
and
victorious.
Chandra is food, and food is something that runs our life. Humans can not live without
food, and many times we speak about spirituality, strong mind, power of the mind, and
tones of the books are written on the subject of mind and its control.However, the real
control we have over the mind is quite disappointing. If you want to test the control over
your mind,just stop giving "it " food. Try to be without food for a few days and you will
understand what power your mind has over you and your behaviour. If we think more
about this, we will understand why all religions and spiritual teachings advise fasting as a
very solid means to gain control over the mind.
Now, the simple thing is to equate mind and food. So when you look at Mangal
conjunction with Chandra, you can understand that mangal will enter your body each
time you eat. Having in mind that "what we eat we become", each time when you take
food, you will become Mangal. That is the true story of this conjunction. For that reason,
our tradition teaches certain Mantras from Upanishads or Shri Rudram, which are very
good to recite before taking food, so that at least we can avoid bad infleunce of Mangal.

Chandra Mangala Yoga therefore, has very bad infleunce over your mind unless you do
adequate mantras. It will surely give divorce and break home, and I beleive I could write
a volume on this subject.
Most of classical texts list this yoga as a wealth giving combination. Chandra is the giver
of resources, and first Mother gives to Agni tatva, the energy. Therefore, the first
exchange is on the level of Chandra and Mangala. So this Yoga indeed gives wealth. Both
grahas are karakas for the 4th house (chandra is overall karaka, while Mangal is karaka
for lands, territory). To understand this better one should understand chandra yogas and
5 tatvas as 5 types of wealth in modern society. So Chandra Mangala Yoga indeed gives
one type of wealth.
The main difference lies in the house where chandra and mangala are placed. THere are
different infleunces on the houses:
In the Lagna, Mangal is stronger
2nd bhava- Chandra is stronger
3rd bhava- Mangal is stronger
4. bhava-Chandra is stronger
5. bhava-Mangal is stronger
6. bhava- Mangal is stronger
7.bhava-Chandra is stronger
8. bhava-Mangal is stronger
9. bhava-Mangal is stronger
10.bhava-Mangal is stronger
11. bhava-Chandra is stronger
12.bhava-Chandra is stronger
Therefore, each house will decide which planet among two, Chandra or Mangal
dominates the Yoga. IF chandra is stronger, satvic qualities dominate the Yoga, and bad
shades of Yogas are lesser. Rudra turns calms down due to the blessing of Devi- Mother
If mangal dominates the Yoga, Rudra is very angry and can create serious problems
(apart from other good effects given by this Yoga)
I will give you the general effects of the Yoga
1. Lagna- a lot depends on Signs, in Mesha, Vrishaba and Karka, this Yoga is very Good,
otherwise, health may suffer.
2. In 2nd house this Yoga gives wealth and prosperity, however heart problems or
accidents.
3. In 3rd house this Yoga gives dynamism and love for change of environment, worried
mind and troubles, yet partner may die early.
4. In 4th house yoga is excellent, however a person lacks drive, initiative and is not
physically but mentally strong. Brothers and sisters are damaged
5. In the 5th house, this Yoga causes rash and troublesome nature, but power. Mother will
suffer
6. In 6th house, this Yoga causes accidents and problems, enemies, troubles to children

7. In 7th house, this Yoga gives wealth, popularity, yet harms marriage, relationships and
gives heart troubles, yet a person will destroy enemies
8. In 8th house Yoga is most destructive, it gives inheritance and money yet may cut
longevity. IT can also kill spouse
9. In 9th house this Yoga gives power, authority, prosperity yet short life or accidents
10. In 10th house this Yoga gives physical strength, profitable job/carreer, yet mental
weakness, troubles to father
11. In 11th house this Yoga gives a lot of friends and social activity, and social concerns
and good income, yet a person may lack an ambition if Mangal is in a weak sign.
12. In 12th house, this Yoga gives deformity, expanses, foreign luck, debts, destroys
elder siblings and friends

Kala Sarpa and Kalamrta Yogas
category: rashino comments
It is a common knowledge that Kalasarpa and Kalamrita Yogas are formed when all
planets are found in between the nodes. Whenever Rahu is on the lead, kalasarpa yoga
is formed while Ketu on the lead forms Kalamrita Yoga. Kalasarpa yoga gives direction of
bhoga while kalamrita yoga gives direction towards moksha marga. There are many
various aspects about these two yogas, such as timing, effects etc, however the purpose
of this article is to spill out some secret meanings of this yoga which cannot be find on
any websites or books, and which I have been taught by the grace of my Guru.
Kalasarpa Yoga depends on the strength of Surya and Guru. It depends on the strength of
Shiva or male energy.
Kalamrita Yoga depends on the strength of Chandra and Shukra. It depends on the
strength of Shakti or female energy.
The usual teachings of this Yogas where one (Kalasarpa) leads a person towards Bhoga
Marga, while another (kalamrita) leads a person towards moksha Marga has various
others hidden meanings. For example, In case of Kalasarapa Yoga, If Surya and Guru
break the Yoga or become strong in Lagna or 7th house (satya peetha) a person will
become very spiritual due to the blessing of Shiva. Therefore, strength of these four
grahas will finalize the direction of Yoga. On the other hand if Chandra, Shukra and Rahu
are found in trines to Navamsa Lagna or are placed in Arudha Lagna or its trines, bhoga
Marga will become predominant and Shakti will becoma stronger. This will hold true
particularly if at the same time Surya Guru and Ketu are placed in 12th house from
Lagna or Arudha Lagna. Therefore it is very wrong just to see these two yogas and
pronounce the effect without taking into account some additional and modifying rules.
The next step lies to analyze the rashi where Rahu or Ketu are placed in Kalasarpa and
Kalamrita Yogas respectivelly. This rashi is the seat of Maya Peetha, or the seat of our

illusion where a person beleives that this rashi is akin to their lagna. This illusion can be
overcome only by two Gurus/Brahmins: Guru and Shukra. This rashi is a throne, a head,
and such throne is occupied either by Rahu in Kalasarpa and Ketu in Kalamrita Yoga.
When the nodes sit on the throne, normally the lights will be destroyed, based on the
Vara chakra principle.
The next principle is to examine two Devatas who play important part in 33 devas. These
are Indra and Prajapati. THe prajapati is the most powerful Devata in this Yoga
(axisLagna and 7th bhava), while Indra has limited power. These two devatas can break
the Yogas.
Apart from these two Devatas, there are two other Devis who hold the keys in these two
Yogas. These are Ugratara and Kamalatmika.
The typical syndrom of these two Yogas are suffering or early death of father (Kalasarpa)
or mother (Kalamrita) which is the sign of bad luck and Yoga strongly functioning.
The next step is to break the Yoga. Mantras work easily when Yoga is naturally broken.
However, in cases where no breakage exists Yoga is difficult to break. In such cases the
position of Chandra in the chart holds key. IF Guru or Shukra are in badhak stan to each
other, the special puja with rose sphatik should be done (Neela Saraswati), fruits and
banannas and 3 rose flowers must be offered. Otherwise Yoga cannot be broken due to
badhaka dosha.
Apart from many specific points about the yoga, the main point about the yoga is to
actually decide whether it is Kala Sarpa or Kala mrta yoga. Though there are standard
rules to determine the Yoga, Parasara teaches very specific rule as how to see what is
the ultimate result of the yoga. He also gives remedies as per the leading planet:
1. If Rahu leads the life Path, you may be born as a prince or with all benefits of the
material world, yet would later on reform and take a bad path (see position of Budha)
2. If Ketu leads the life Path, you may have a life like a sage Valmiki- start a life as a
robber or bad person and later on turn into a sage

points about chart reading
category: variousno comments
Today there are many people who want to read the chart, yet they stumble on huge
blocks in reaching the correct results. One of the main problems lies in the following:
1. Available literature mostly gives ready made karakatvas of planets and houses and
astrologers blindly accept them without understanding the real cause or clue. Why is
some meaing attached to one house, not another? Why is some meaning attached to
some planet not another? The reason should be understood in proper phylosophy,
adequate Guru and correct understanding of Vedas and Jyotisha classics such as
Parashara and Jaimini
2. The principles are mostly known, yet there are huge misunderstandings which
normally cannot give correct results. Just to mention one of them is Karaka Bhava Nasha,

where people will interpret Guru in the 5th house as giving bad effects for children, which
is apsurd. Karaka Bhava Nasha has the other meaning, different alltogether.
3. Unless correct understanding of houses, planets and other basic tools is there, one
cannot step into divisional charts and other advanced tools of Vedanga Jyotisha. For
example, how many of you would put a quality and expression of speech and articulation
of knowledge into Simha rashi and 5th bhava. Would you associate long hair with Mina
rashi, or curse of Vishnu with Dhanu Rashi. How many of you would put a white blood
cells into a 2nd bhava or ability to wake up into 8th bhava? Did you know that Rahu if
exalted as dispositor of Chandra would give noble and happy thoughts leading to pure
and noble actions? Did you know that afflicted 10th bhava can give a terrible lack of
faith and failure ?
Normally, if we associate wrong significations to houses, planets and signs, we will not
be able to correctly interpret a chart. If we on the other hand try to take effects of
planets in houses from classical texts, we will again fall into a pit, since these effects are
strictly underlined with VERY SPECIFIC principles, which have to be applied and using
which, these effects will be 100% correct.
I have read and baught almost all avaliable literature on Jyotish in english langauge, yet
most of them list these basic principles with let us say 50% of accuracy. There are also
many web pages on vedic astrology in english, and now in serbian/croation websites,
which you should handle carefully. Read the texts and try to apply the principles, and if
they work apply them. If they do not work, my simple advice is to discard it.
Unfortunatelly, many of such sites offer their own theories, and completelly useless and
wrong information. I have read so many stupid things on jyotish such as that Sy and Ketu
yuti is bad, or in example charts where Guru was severelly afflicted (cursed), these
people extolled and praised its good infleunce. It might have been their own chart or
ignorance, be that as it may, it is a fully wrong karma done on jyotish.
2nd problem
This problems comes into a picture when we have to idenfity the result within a house.
Which to take? A house, House lord or Karaka? If you say that Rahu is in 7th house, does
it mean that partner is suspicous, or we are suspicious, or do we see the partner from
7th house, or its lord or Karaka? What are the differences? Will we see the ability to have
many children from benefic infleunces on the 5th house, or should we examine the
position of 5th lord? Or what about Guru as a karaka?
Even these principles are never clearly explained, and many lovers of Jyotisha are still
confused about it. Then what happens if these effects are contradictory? Let us say>
Malefics are in 5th house, but 5th lord is exalted and Guru is well placed? Does it mean
that person will not have children, or children will be there and they will trouble person.
Or will a person trouble children, or will children lives be troublesome? How can you
understand these differences without properly knowing each segment?
Then, this sounds discouraging. What is left is a need to deeply understand the chart and
its couses, and to find a Guru who can give you the answers. Today, my Jyotish Guru Pt.
Sanjay Rath and myself have threaded impossible task to clear up and set up the proper

foundation and build it up within Deva Guru Brihaspati Centre and its branch in SIVA for
slavic speaking people. The main purpose of this blog will be to work on this as well..

Various points

Today many books both classical texts and modern books give effects of grahas in
bhavas. Unfortunatelly, they prove useless in most cases to all readers, and worthless in
practical use. Many modern authors critisize the classical authors as discarding the
effects of planets in houses useless. I am not going into details here, but tradition
teaches the correct method as how to use these results, and with a proper explanation
from a Guru all effects will prove correct and everything will fall into a place. For
example, Saravali teaches that Chandra in Lagna gives happiness (Sukha). However Shri
Ram has Chandra in Lagna and he was unhappy in the middle part of the life. Why was it
so? Shani was placed in 4th house in his chart which indicates dukhada or sorrow and
banishment from home. That implies that Chandra in Lagna gives happiness only in
childhood, while in middle age it will give happiness provided that benefic planet is
placed in 4th house. In this manner, all classical texts should be examined. On the other
hand, modern authors do nothing to improve it and give better description and effects of
planets. So, to again, modern books either copy-paste the classical text and again give
information which again prove usless and incorrect in practice. If you do not trust me,
check the number of editions and books and see yourself.
Where is the clue? Tradition teaches certain effects of planets in houses, where very
grounded and common-sense rules underline the principle. Once these principle are
revealed, evertyhing starts beautifully to unfold and fall into a place and in practical use
in horoscope, the picture starts to emerge. Let us give some effects of planets in 12th
house to show the point:
1.Surya in Marana Karaka Stana in 12th house, though it gives good health. It prevents
losses and punishment, makes person stay at home (will not go abroad), prevents from
bad luck, bondages, and gives strong mind, emotions as a result of blessings of Shiva.
General tendency is that a person will marry a powerful partner and the reson for
marriage may not be as obvious as shown.
2. Chandra in 12th house is the blessing of Devi. A person is strong in body and mind,
healthy, easily recovers from disease, has good sleep and rest, powerful subconscious
mind and intuition, good mind reader, and prevents from serious bodily damages. Mother
will bless the person, though she may be unhappy around the birthtime of a person. A
person will give to family and children, yet will not care too much for friends, unless they
are close as family members.
3. Mangal in 12th house- Marriage is damaged as well as marital happiness, chooses a
bad partner, troubles on long journeyes, bad or slow recovery from sickness, bad sleep,
subconsicous anger, physcological issues, loss of initiative and executive ability, a lot of

properties which may be lost or wasted away, may be defeated by enemy, unless 6th
house does not show otherwise. There are a lot of acquantances but hardly any true
friends. If there are some, a person will loose them. Death of a sister or close female
friend. IF a person worships Devata of Mangala, a person is blessed with sharp mind and
good speech, intelligence and learning, which may prove so particularly during the dasha
of Mangal. Depending on the strength of Mangala, this dasha would give litigations, bad
luck due to fights, a lot of money which may be spent away, rash decisions which may
invovle a person into trouble, marital disharmony and troubles with children etc. If a
horoscope is well inclinced for spirituality, this dasha may give a lot of learning and
blessings of powerful Guru. In this way, a completelly novel apporach is required for
understanding grahas in bhavas...
To be continued...
Let us examine one among many principles to be used here. We all know or should know
two important significations of the 5th house which we shall use as an example. These
are Mantra and Chitta.
1. Mantra is the sound which can invoke certain Devata and protect the mind.
2. Chitta is the use of database of the mind
Now, we can see the impact of all 9 grahas on these two significations of the 5th house.
We can do it by Guna, Nature, Tatva, karakatva etc
Surya is satva guna graha so by default all satvic Grahas will use the mantras in a
positive way, and be attracted to it, while chitta will function well and mind will use the
awareness in a positive and nice manner. Among these, Guru is Shabda (sound) and he
is a real vachaspati or commander of Mantra. No wonder, each classical text suggests
Guru placement in this house as related to blessing or worship of Lord Shiva. Chandra as
chitta graha among satvic grahas will act very good for future and use the resources for
excellent future planning. Shukra as a karaka of affection and mental image, can use
mantra in a visual manner, and create an image of devata with a bhakti or worship
towards it. However, regarding Mantra, Shukra can use all kinds of mantras being Rajas
graha for selfish use. She has to learn the Mantra Shastra from Shabda Brahmin Guru, as
in puranic story. So Rajas grahas need the touch of Guru to be able to understand the
mantra shastra. Among Satva graha Chandra in 5th house does not have respect for
Mantra Shastra, as Tara who was thinking about Chandra while her husband Guru
meditated. Being illigitimate child fo such union, Budha is not conducive to Mantra,
unless he is accepted and taught by Brihaspati (touch of unafflicted Guru over 5th house
Budha). In this way, we cannot except the mere fact that some classical texts state that
Budha in 5th house is to give knowledge of mantras. We should ad- Yes/ But Unafflicted
guru has to give dristi or yuti to it. Tamas grahas are apsoulutelly bad in this house.
Mangal will do sadhana only out of anger, and frustration and he does not beleive in
mantras but in weapons. However, due to agni tatva, Mangal with good guidance
*influcenc of Guru, can give considerable knowledge in Mantra Shastra. As far as the
chitta is concerned, the mind will be led towards fighting, rashness etc. Normally, Tamas
grahas cannot do anything good, since they damage chitta, cause a loss of memory

(shani) or subconsious mistakes and wrong judgment (ketu and mangal) or delussions
(Rahu),unless they are in own sign, multrikona sign or exaltation sign. In this case, there
is a consciousness and awareness which is higher than ordinary placement, however the
quality of the guna is not goint to change...
There are many different and opposite opinions about these yogas today. Some
astrologers discard the existance of this Yoga, while those who accept them disagree
about their formation and effects. In my tradition, we do beleive that the Yoga exist,
however, there are very secret teachings whitout which this yoga becomes impossible to
understand. There are places on the net, where the effects and formation of the Yoga
was correctly explained, yet the proper use of yoga was not correctly explained, or it was
given in a very superficial manner. Also, kindly do not confuse this yoga with Sarpa
(Bhujanga) Yoga which is a part of Nabhas (dala) yoga, which has altogether different
meaning and explanation, and cannot be understood without understanding of what is
nabhas.
1. Kalasarpa Yoga is formed when Rahu leads the group of planets (all planets are
between Ketu and Rahu)
2. Kalamrita Yoga is formed when Ketu leads the group of planets (all planets are
between Rahu and Ketu)
Most astrologers agree that Yoga is broken when a planet is with the node, and when
there are planets in lagna or 7th axis/satya peetha/
Misconceptions about the Yoga
1. When seen the Yoga, most astrologers autmotaically declare that in the case of broken
yoga, a person will come to the satya peetha point and become spiritual (kalamrita) or
materially prosper (kala sarpa). This is unfortunatelly wrong, and it will never work in all
cases. If you do not trust me, take 20 horoscopes of people with these yogas, and
examine their life. You will definitelly fail. However, please, keep something in your mind.
When these Yogas exist people would normally in one way or another be intereseted in
what is so commonly defined as " sprirituality" today. Today, it is enough that people take
interest in phylosophy or read some book, or even do some Yoga and meditation and
people have an image of this person to be spiritual. This is far from it, and please go into
shastra definitions of spirituality first.
2. There is a trick in this Yoga, so it can reverse, so what we see as a Kalasarpa, may in
reality function as Kalamrita and vice versa. This segment is taught in detail in Devaguru
Brihaspati centres. This can altaughether mislead an astrologer and all predicition and
remedial measures may go in vain
3. The term "broken" Kalasarpa and Kalamrita Yoga also carries a lot of different
interpretations and misconceptions. I was taught that the broken kalasarpa may actually
mean that a person start going towards bhoga or material direction and then leave it and
turns spiritual. On the other hand broken Kalamrita may imply that a person turns
towards spirituality and end up leaving it , changing direction towards marriage ets.

These two paths may alternate depending on several factors which need to be checked
in the chart.
4. If the Yoga is not "broken" , the big puzzle remains as what is the way out. Astrologers
are mostly silent about it.
The timing of this Yoga is impossible unless this rules are known. Very helpful tool in
timing this Yoga is Rahu-Ketu Gochar, Guru progression, Kala Chakra, Navamsa and
Shula Dasha.
4. There are certain grahas in particular chart of KSY and KMY which need to be focused.
By examining their strength, the whole effect of Yoga may be reversed and changed.
Without this knowledge, a reading a KSY and KMY chart can be superficial without real
understanding. I have been told not once by my Guru to keep silent about the nodes,
until the right time comes. Nowdays, the nodes are not in a good mood towards Guru, so
I will continue in a near future...
My intention to initiate this is to draw more attention to these specific chart, where a real
effort to understand them is required by all of us.
Character
There are a few steps to quickly see whether a person is a good or bad person. This is
not only useful in judgement of a character and remedial measures suggested, but I was
prompted to write on this subject, since many people contacted me privately asking how
to see whether a person is really sincere and good or not
FIRST STEP
1. Malefic planet in lagna gives bad personality. Choices and decisions are bad and
intelligence is misguided.
2. Surya in Lagna will show the satvic nature fully if aspected by Guru. If Surya is
aspected by malefics a person will be knowledagble and intelligent, yet he or she will be
of bad tamper, cruel, sadistic and of abusive nature. They will always think that they
know of everything, which is of course wrong.
3. Benefics in lagna are good. Budha and Shukra create a bit selfish and overenjoying
nature (greedy rajas grahas), yet they will never hurt others delibratelly, as is the case
with malefics. Budha also becomes excellent if aspected by Guru. Waxing Chandra, and
Guru are excellent.
IF THERE ARE NO PLANETS CHECK THE SIGN IN LAGNA AND PLACEMENT OF LAGNESHA.
Meena, karka and dhanu are satvic signs of pure akash tatva and are the best. Rajasic
signs are good but greedy, tamasic signs are bad for the character of a person.
NEXT STEP
1. Check the 4th house of purity and faith. Benefics in 4th house give good heart,
tolerance, faith, while malefics give the opposite.

2. Chandra and Shukra are excellent and give compassion and love for people. Guru is
best in the value of tolerance, while other malefics are bad. Surya gives cruelty and
selfishness unless influenced by Guru.
3.If there are no planets check the signs as per the same procedure.
Now with these two steps we can have the following combination.
1. Benefic infleunces on Lagna and 4th house, good nature and personality. If there are
no planets, then signs will give the same.
2. Malefic infleunces give a bad character. If both lagna and 4th house have a malefic
inside, or one has a malefic and another has malefic sign, a person is a cheater, cruel
and abusive.
3. If there are mixed infleunces, in the Lagna, judge the stronger. Strengten the benefics
since it will block the negative traits of a malefic.
4. If there are mixed infleunces in the 4th house, and Lagna has no malefic in it nor is of
a malefic sign, then a person is of good character, but is cheated by others.
Single Benefic planet in Lagna or in 4th house is sufficent to block the malefic infleunces.
THIRD STEP
1.Check the placement of the moon in the Sign and position of Dispositor. If it is
debilitated a person has bad and negative thoughts. The same holds true if it is badly
placed or in dustana.
2. Check the planets conjoined Chandra. If they are only malefic, a person had bad
thoghts and character.
This is the simple procedure where in three steps one can judge the quality of a
character. These concepts are based on Gunas and Nitti.
There are only three satva grahas and they are: Surya, Chandra and Guru.
Surya is not the absolute truth and its truth is based on Yama, Niyama and other rules
created by the governance. For example, in some countries, women may be stoned by
people for certain acts, and the law or government approves of it. The Surya which
follows the law and sends Mangal to enforce the law can approve of this since the rule
and law must be obeyed. Can we say then that Surya infleuncing the character of a
person gives wise and good character. No..
Surya truth is only two pada, or 50 % where purity and intelligence is seen, yet a person
may approve of very bad things if the law or rule says so. The houses ruled by Surya will
be the places where person will enforce the rule. The sign where Surya is placed will
modify the attitude towards the rule. If Kumbha or other malefic sign is there for Surya, a
person may accomodate rules to suit their own appetite.
Chandra truth is only eka pada or 25 %, as it is based on the truth of society. SOme
society will allow four women, while in certain societies in history people did not have a
bath or were allowed to eat human flash. These types of truth are subject to social needs
and governance and are ruled by Chandra. Only Purnima Chandra has a value to go
beyond this rule

Guru is absolute and pure truth where God's law is obeyed. This is the only rule and only
graha where God can show his face through (Prasna Marga), so unless this Graha has
connection with lagna, a person can hardly understand the proper and pure concept of
truth and being truthful.
Budha and Shukra follow the concept of Rajas truth, the truth of money, sex and
enjoyment. Tamas grahas follow the shady concept of truth, or rather to say untruth.
Mangal enforces his own truth by force and gun. Shani's truth is based on lies as well as
Rahus. To be continued...
You will see many web sites where Lagna of divisional charts was discussed. Yet, most of
the informatiom offered is quite useless and confusing. The reason lies in terrible lack of
understanding the basics nature of the signs or rashis.
My focus here will be on specific signs which will serve the rule of general principle.
Navamsa chart- The best lagnas are Karka, Dhanu and Meena for relationships where
high level of tolerance, sacrifice and mutual goals with people and associations are
achived. However, for marriage, only Karka Lagna in Navamsa chart is favourable. Dhanu
Lagna is very unfavourable to marriage particularly if Budha is there, while Atmakaraka
in Dhanu navamsa (Particularly if atmakaraka is Budha) can even cause the curse of
Dharma and Ishta Devata. The only solution will come from a strong and unafflicted Guru
placed in trines to lagna or Karakamsa Lagna.
Meena Lagna navamsa or karakamsa have a major failing for marriage. They want to
marry Krishna, as it was nicely illustrated in the story of the princess Mina. If Meena is
Navamsa Lagna or Karakamsa in a male chart, there can be a lack of progeny, unless
there is a nulifying factor.
Vrishaba Navamsa Lagna is SUPERB for marriage. There is a high level consciousness
about relationships, and if Chandra is well placed a person will handle partners with a
great care and conscious efforts. Of course other karakas should not be afflicted
Thula Navamsa has a major problem since there will be too much fighting in
relationships, particularly if mangal aspects. A person will trully suffer the curse of
Subramanya
Vrischika navamsa is the worst lagna to rise in Navamsa Chart as far as marriage and
dharma is concerned. A person is fully unaware of their destiny and needs of a spouse.
Their intelligence has gone in this area. If chandra is there or Budha is there one of them
being Atmakaraka, the soul cannot see their destiny and a high level of immorality and
corupt character will be there.
Mithuna Navamsa is also bad particularly if Shukra is in Lagna in mithuna. A person may
remain childless and due to insatiable lust and conflicts, and huge ambition in this area
will be cursed by Laksmi Devi. There will be all kinds of financial problems too.

Simha NAvamsa is excellent for knowledge and spirituality and Atmakarak there will
surely confirm it (in simha rashi). However, for marriage, early widowhood is a threat.
Kanya Navamsa is horrible, since even LORD BRAHMA cannot create a partner a person
desires. If Shani is there or in trines, a person may remain childless /unmarried. In any
case Strong Shani is undesirable or Atmakarak in kanya navamsa (Shani in particular)
will have a negative say on person's progeny.
Kumba Navamsa is bad for relationship too. A person will terribly lack emotions and will
be too punishing.
Chandra in Navamsa lagna or in Kumba will specifically mark the same, and wrong
thinking will be there. There own mother will suffer or a person will marry a spouse
without a mother or with suffering mother.
Mesha Navamsa is very good for both marriage and knowledge. A person is full of
knowledge and light particularly if Surya and Guru are strong and well placed (for
spirituality) or Chandra and Shukra for marriage.
Makara Lagna is very bad, all kinds of enjoyments in marriage and relationships will lack.
A person lacks faith terrible or loose it easily, particularly if Guru is placed in such
Navamsa Lagna.
In this way, one can see all lagnas in divisional charts and see the general tendency
even before getting deeper into analyses of planetary positions. Try to think in the same
lines and guess why Kumbha lagna or Chandra in Kumbha for female charts is horrible
for chidren in D-7? In male chart Meena Lagna or Dhanu Lagna can live the person
childless under the circumstances and are the causes the same? Kanya Lagna can leave
the person complete childless or their children will remain childless if other planetary
combinations give children to a person...
Spirituality
category: spirituality3 comments
Om Namah Shivaya,
Today, many people confuse the term spiritualty with those who take interest in
phylosophy and even do mantras/meditation and new age techniques. This is far from
being spiritual, since even Raksasas practiced Jyotish and did sadhanas for their personal
goals. Sprituality is obvious in human behaviour where a person should be decent,
honest, truthful and have all the qualities of heart and mind where all scriptures agree.
This should be a good ground to plant a seed for spiritual progress and I will give you a
few hints as how to see this in the chart.Some people even talk about moksa and high
level of consciousness and realization which if you are a good jyotishi can make you

laugh and be sad due to the human ignorance. Unfortunatelly, today, a new trand has
emerged where people are jumping to worship Istadevata blindly without fate,based
on the advice given by astrologers. This can naver have high spiritual impact and is
wrong advice, since one has to have a good chart and good karma to reach the level of
Ista Devata, and second, this is the last stage in the worship or spiritual sadhana. So, in
most cases it is waste of time, or hitting OFF the real problem
Before dreaming of advising Ista devata sadhana, or some serious spriritual worship an
astrologer should check the following
1. Examine Moksa Trikonas/ Each malefik is highly unwelcome in these houses, including
malefic signs without benefic planets. Each malefic will show nija dosha coming through
the time of present, past and future, and first has to be PACIFIED and removed from
HEART AND HEAD.
2. Normally malefics in 4th house and Lagna show a very bad person, who is untruthful,
and can never be spiritual. This is clear poison in the head and poision in the heart. A
person is not even a good person, not to talk about the term spiritual.
3. Examine the 12th house. Malefic and tamasic graha in 12th house (except Ketu) will
take a person in lower loka after death, which proves that he will be judged by his
actions which obviously shows that a person will or has performed very bad karma in this
lifetime. Shani, Mangal and Rahu can put the person go to hell, narkas, unless they are
debilitated and unless the 12th lord is in own sign or exalted, as is the case of Swami
Vivekananda. In other cases, a person will surely go to narka. Devaguru Brihaspati
ALONE can prevent this, but he cannot be cursed, combast and under the papa or
malefic infleunces. Do not be surprised to see this combination in the charts of people
who try to spread the aura of spiritual and knowledgeble ones. What I am stating here is
based and supported by all classical texts and knowledge of the tradition. Keep in mind
that Shukra and Chandra are good planets to be there, provided one cherishes
compassion and purity. Budha is also good there without malefics. Surja, though in
Marana karaka stana, is good, as well as Guru and Ketu which are best. Therefore, the
first remedial measure is to PREVENT BAD INFLEUNCES ON THESE THREE HOUSES, as
well as to change fully, internally and outwardly, otherwise, real spirituality cannot be
achived for a long, long time.
Generally, before a person goes to Vishnu/ Sarvavjapakeshvar Devata/and attain the
world of devas, heading towards Moksa through the Ista Devata. One must first go to
Shiva, and realize ShivoHum. For that Karaka lagna or Atmakaraka placement in the
Rashi Chart should be fully cleared from Malefic infleunces. The ahamkar has to be
destroyed and this is seen from Karaka Lagna. Various bandanas are shown there which
prevents a soul from Self-Realization and illumination, and still this is the step which has
to be taken before God- Realisation.
Karaka for Spirituality is Ketu. A lot will depend with Ketu associations in Rashi and
Navamsa. If ketu is POLLUTED by certain grahas, all your sadhanas are motivated by
personal goals and enjoyment and will not leave a spiritual mark but lead to material
achivements.

There are many other points to judge in Rashi chart before we move into Navamsa and
other divisions.

Varga Charts
category: navamsha d-chartsno comments
Today many astrologer strictly focus on Rashi Chart, and Navamsa Chart, totally ignoring
the Shodasa Varga analyses, which holds key in many cases such as twins, and others
who have the same Rashi chart, and lead completely different lives. Both classical texts
as well as tradition teach that for Karma and profession one should focus Dashamsa
varga or division of a sign into ten parts.
All varga charts show our special types of environment where the forces of destiny
control us, while the Rashi chart shows our reaction to such forces. A person can have
many talents and learns or masters some subjects both for the sake of learning, as well
as for the sake of rising the quality of ones life. However, we do not make career of all
subject we learn. In order to fulfill our karma we need the following things;
1.

Working (karma) environment

2.

Right knowledge

3.

Right inspiration

These three factors become crucial in understanding the karma of the native, choice of
career and job. Before jumping into analyses of Dashamsa as many people superficially
do by comparing the 6th or 7thhouses and their trines, there are so many factors which
should be analyzed.
Generally people do two types of karmas or shift in between them. One is the karma or
job which is self oriented, while another is karma or job which is duty bound or includes
and focuses the benefit of others. Sometimes, a person can choose one path and during
the life transform into another or vice verse.
Another type of division is the choice of the job which comes due to various factors
1.

Right inspiration which includes going towards the right direction

2.

Right knowledge which is based on ability to master that subject

3.

Choice coming from the soul level, which will include the job we love, or the job we
want money from

Before we can even step into the analyses of Dashamsa chart we should understand the
following:

1.

Whether the person will do self oriented karma or not, and whether any kind of
transformation is required particularly having in mind the dasa running

2.

What kind of knowledge or subject is available to become persons job. For

example, somebody may want to become a doctor, yet it is neither in his destiny to
become so, nor he can have knowledge to perform that job. In such cases, are there
any tools in tradition to make his/her dream come true?

3.

What are the means to master the skill we need for performing the job

4.

What are the working forces or karmic forces operating in Dasamsa and how we
react to it?

5.

Does the chart favours self employment or service, and in such cases what are
details about each choice?

Before analyzing Dashamsa chart independently, one must set a stage and be ready to
cope with all previous points and questions. Once these have become clear, one can
easily understand all details about a persons job and career. IF these steps are not
followed nor understood, a person cannot give a precise answer about a persons job,
nor career details, which is today unfortunately very often the case. Today you will see
that astrologers simply see the larger number of planets in either 6 th or 7thhouse in
Dasamsa to determine the choice of service/business, or simply look at 2.6. 10 houses in
Dasamsa to determine the career/job. This inevitably leads to guesses without correct
and complete knowledge, as well as superficial advices given by astrologers.
Here is the chart of a famous astrologer and a Jyotish Guru Pt. Sanjay Rath
7th august 1963, 21h 15 min, Sambalpur , Orrissa, Dashamsa Lagna je Meena.
In his chart, very high ideals and dharma or duty bound nature is pronounced, while
high emotions and ideals are seen from Lagnesha Guru in exaltation. Budha dasa coming
forces him transform towards self oriented career, while best job suited for him comes
from exalted Guru, blessing of Tara Mahavidya, which gives excellent teachers of
Vedanga. Since Guru is in karka Rashi, this knowledge comes from the study with
teacher. Other blessings come from Ketu , Chandra and budha in simha and dhanu rashi
respectively, which indicate that he has complete skills in jyotish (ketu), Chandra
(peoples mind, social) and Budha (writing). Since Chandra is in arta trikona, this
certainly indicates that he would work in service for at least some period in life.
Whenever is Chandra strongly placed in Artha trikona a person has to serve for some
time. The same holds true for business or self imployment if Chandra is in Kama trikona.
If Chandra is in Moksa trikona, self imployment is preffered, while in Dharma trikona,
service is preferred. Budha is also very strong in 10 th house in dhanu rashi giving him
abilities in writing and work as a writer, particularly since budha rules 7 th house of
business. The budha mahadasha came and switch took over from service to business
and writing. Shani could not keep him in service being in 3 rd house. Budha in 10th house
gives the blessing of Brahmanaspati while Rahu in 12 th house gives the blessing of

Ganesha, and cannot obstruct the teaching of Vedanga being in the 12 th house in own
sign. Otherwise, it would have indicated his own mistakes and inabilities as well as secret
enemies which will from time to time show their teeth. Surya is neecha in the chart, in
the 8th house, and any sort of leadership gives a lot of troubles, as well as governmental
administration, though it is beautifully placed for support of service and its stuff.
Therefore, we can clearly say that planet which is exalted and blessed by Tara as per the
standard rules determined profession of a person, and that is teacher of Jyotisha. For any
teaching of Vedanga, Guru must be superiorly placed in Dashamsa chart. It is interesting
to note that a native took mechanical engineering ruled by Mangal, which has digbala
from 10th house, however is in Marana Karaka Stana from Lagna. Though Mangal is
2nd lord and as such indicates that a person is loner at work, not aspiring to work groups,
and can bless a native with good finance(mangal is in kanya), doing a job of a planet in
debility or marana karaka stana is never recommendable nor long lasting unless there
are other nullifying factors. Though debility can bring a lot of money, a person needs to
do certain remedial measures to make the effect long lasting, and to be blessed by the
knowledge of that planet. This person teaches Jyotish (blessing of Guru), writes book
(blessing of Budha in dhanu in 10 th house), and has knowledge of Jyotish (blessing of
ketu in simha rashi). Chandra in simha rashi also gives him ability to understand peoples
minds and good social approach and understanding. This is all what makes him a
superior in the field. Incidently, the sign in Lagna rising, has no planet and is pisces
which is the best suited signs for Astrologers.

Some points about Atmakaraka
category: charakarakasno comments
I have given some concepts about Atmakaraka graha on this site without going into
specific indications of each planet as Atmakarak.
Pt. Sanjay Rath, my Jyotish Guru wrote a lot about this in his books, as well as various
articles and conferences available on the net.
However He writes the following in one of his articles/lessons:
The reason for lack of spiritual initiation is to be known from planets in Karakamsha
This implies the following:
1.
2.

See the planet which is Atmakaraka

See the conjunctions of Atmakaraka in navamsa chart and consider these planets
too.

If Sun or Mars is Atmakarak or Atmakarak is conjoined with Sun or Mars in Navamsa

Chart a person will lack spirituality and may miss the opportunity to get good knowledge
due to THEIR OWN EGO!

If Moon or Venus becomes Atmakarak or Atmakarak is conjoined with Venus or Moon in

Navamsa chart, this shows luxurious nature and sexual weakness/indulgences/ as a lack
of spirituality, knowledge and guidance
If the same happens with Budha, greed is a big obstacle. Shani in the same place, or
Atmakarak conjoined Shani in navamsa chart, shows mere laziness and overconfidence.
Nodes in the same places are master of confusions and mistakes, while Guru is
Atmakarak is absolutely the worst position since there will always be a lack of bonding
between the student and teacher, and a person will be insincere in relationship with Guru
and knowledge, and consider himself his own master.
Malefics as atmakaraka are better for speedier evolution, since the punishment is quick,
while unless Ista Devata is favourable in the chart, malefic as atmakarak can lead a
person astry.
Working of the Mind
Since Manas is the primary charioteer in the field of Karma, its working should be seen in
10th house of Karma.
My Guru taught me that unbroken sarpa Yoga (only malefic planets in Kendra) give
person a nature of snake, which is confirmed by Parashara. A person will have
uncontrolled and unprincipled sexuality, peevish nature, bad thoughts, decision and will
do a lot of bad karma. Of course there are varieties. For example, if Mangal is conjoined
Rahu in Taurus or Libra and influences 2nd house from arudha lagna, paka lagna or lagna,
a person is of loose morals, particularly if these two planets are involved in Sarpa Yoga.
In this way every individual combinations should carefully be noticed.
Malefic planets in 10th house apart from certain blessings (Mangal, Surja or Ketu where
digbala strength is seen), apart from it always tend to remove intelligence in taking
certain directions of karma. If the lord of 10 th house is at the same time malefic or
afflicted by malefic planets then it becomes worse, since a person never corrects
mistakes or bad doings and persists in evil. This particularly happens if the same
10th lord is placed in Kendra involved in unbroken Sarpa Yoga:
1.
2.

3.
4.

In Lagna-intelligence fails due to status or self recognition

In 4th house intelligence fails due to impurity and bad consciousness/low mind
awareness
In 7th house intelligence fails due to desire
In 10th house, that means in own sign. Situation is better, yet benefic influence is
desirable

That is the reason why all classical texts praise benefic influencing 10 th house and
kendras.

argala
category: rashino comments
Today, you will find many articles about the argala of a planet/sign. However, desipite the
best efforts, many of learners cannot use the principles nor can they apply them in the
chart. I will not speak about argala in a techical matter, for all about it can be found in
books of my Jyotish Guru Pt. Sanjay Rath, as well as classical texts such as Parashara and
Jaimini. In the context of understanding argalas, you should analyze each argala in detail
(primary argalas are 2.4.11 positions). You should also keep in mind that Virodha Argala
completelly may change or block the argala.
Dhana Argala Result on Lagna
I will take one graha position and give you the effect of Dhana Argala. You can check it
practical horoscopes and see the results. You will be suprised by the effect found. We will
take Rahu position in the 2nd house which has dhana Argala on Lagna. Keep in mind that
Rahu can be found in 12 different signs, where resources and effects will be slightly
modified, and Rahu can also be found in different positions from different Lagnas, can
rule different bhavas and be influneced by different graha.
Nevertheless, the effect of dhana Argala of Rahu in 2nd house are as follow:
1. Loss of money which will come through significations of the house ruled by Rahu
2. bad health, loss of longevity in time (deadly disease)
3. shocks and troubles in family which will negativelly affect the life and health of a
person
4. Influx of wealth if Guru is placed in Lagna, 3rd, 6th and 10th house. If rahu is placed in
Kanja wealth is there, while in Karka, a person will get wealth from foreign sources. In
other signs judge accordingly. In any case, there will always be plans and confusion
about the money which may cause a lack of mental peace
5. A person is extremelly egoistic, angry and selfish (yet a person hides these within
themselves)
6. A speech is diplomatic, a person lies and has no boundaries in speech. May speak a
shocking things or revealing personal things which are shocking to others
7. A person is not Sundari (internally and externally beautiful), and nas no style,
manners. Eyes are usually small or not appealing (Mark of Rahu).
8. No matter how intelligent a person is, there will be stupid decisions, lack of wisdom
during the lifetime, particularly those related to family or money.
9. A person easily losses mental and physical energy, disperce in plans and lacks
initiative
10. Life can stop or get entangled in family matters, money or other area depending on
the position of other planets and points in 2nd bhava.
In this way, you should understand all planets having dhana argala on lagna from 2nd
house. This should be wiselly applied on dhana argals on various houses.

Rasa or Taste
category: rashino comments
There is an ongoing discussion on certain foods and rasas/essence/, tastes which are
favoured or good by the owner of the vedic chart. I tend to avoid public discussion due
two reasons: One is fundamental and non tolerant attitude prevailing in many
astrologers, while another is simple choice of not revealing the teachings to the public
but certain students one wants to choose. However, there are again some points which
can be taught to anyone willing to learn astrology. I am bringing these points here.
Taste is seen from Lagna, 5th and 9th house. Lagna gives natural taste for food, while
5th house gives preffered taste for food. Nineth house gives the food we are trained or
accostumed to eat. Most astrologers make mistake by judging the preffered food from
Lagna only. For example, if your father (9th house is Muslim), you will be trained or
accostumed to avoid Pork meat. Therefore, one has to see the influences in trines to see
the prefference of food. Second house shows the food we actually eat. We may like to
eat certain food, however due to various reason (health, finance, job obligations etc), we
may actually consume completelly another type of food. For example if Atmakaraka rules
the 2nd house and is afflicted, one will certainly have to change the food style because
of health problems, or even poverty, depending on the placement of Atmakarak planet in
the chart. If it is Mangal and is in Maranakaraka stana, eating hot food will cause serious
disorders in heart, head or colon. Normally Rahu eats fish and fish products, Ketu eats
read meat and pork in particular, Mangal likes birds, such as chicken, Budha likes greens,
Shani eats all kinds of meat and stale food, Surja likes honey, bread, and wheat, Chandra
likes baby food, and milk, while Shukra likes sour food such as yoghurt etc. These are the
basics. There is a whole list of other food ruled by the planets.
Many people tend to confuse Rasas and Tastes, which is wrong and is a long subject for
discussion. Also, it is a well known fact among the students of my Guru to look for
Somanath Drekana for health. You will find in many articles and books methods to
calculate Somanath drekana. Now, there is a very important point as how to use this
chart for choosing the best food for ojas and health. Many astrologers and followers of
our tradition take simply the lord of Somannath drekana and choose the taste, which is
WRONG! Do not go by it, otherwise you will fall sick. For example, my somanath drekana
is ruled by Venus, so according to this I should eat sour food. Due to the sour food, I
developed chronic gastritis, which was cured only after I removed the sour completelly
from my diet. The basic point is to focus on Pancha Amrita. These are:milk, curd, honey,
sugar, clarified butter or ghee. Only choose these food for a start if any of the following
graha rules Somanath drekana or is favourably placed in Lagna or its trines. For example,
for Guru choose Ghee (though in some exceptions butter is also allowed and good). For
Shukra choose Curd or plain Yogurt, though for Vrishaba Somanath drekana Lagna, lassi
or butter milk is preferred and better, while for Thula it is Yoghurt. For Karka lagna in this
drekkana choose water and milk, while for Simha choose Honey. Quality type sugar like
raw cane sugar or date sugar is ruled by Guru. All other processed sugars are ruled by
Venus (it is exalted in Pisces), and Venus does not rule sugar but LIKES sugar. That is a

big difference. In case of other malefic Lagnas, see the best influence on Lagna in
Somanath drekana by Surya, Guru, Shukra and Chandra, and choose accordingly.
