Vedic Astrology talks about numerous Yogas. Some Yogas are auspicious, while others are
inauspicious. In Janma Kundali, obstacles in your life are also analysed on the basis of
houses. Some houses in your Kundali create obstacles and problems. The Lords of these
houses are known as Badhak or Badhakesh.
Different Lords of houses act as Badhak for different Ascendants. A Badhak planet is
determined on the basis of astrological signs and their characteristics. In this webcast, we
will talk about Badhak planets. We will tell you how they may create obstacles in your life.
Categorization of astrological signs on the basis of Ascendant
In Vedic astrology, every Ascendant is assigned a Badhak planet. There are different
Badhak planets for every ascendant. The twelve astrological signs have been divided into
three categories on the basis of their characteristics. On the basis of these categories,
Badhak planets in your Kundali are determined.
Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn are considered to be movable signs. In other words, they
are always moving. Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius are considered to be fixed signs. As
you must have understood, they are not moving.
On the other hand, Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces are dual-natured signs. At times
they are moving. While they are stationary during other times.
Determination of Badhak planet by Birth Ascendant
Now, let us talk about determining Badhak planet on the basis of astrological signs. If a
movable sign like Aries, Cancer, Libra or Capricorn is present in birth ascendant, the Lord of
eleventh house is considered to be Badhak.
On the other hand, if a fixed sign like Taurus, Leo, Scorpio or Aquarius is present in birth
ascendant, the Lord of ninth house is considered to be Badhak.
If a dual-natured sign like Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius or Pisces is present in birth ascendant,
the Lord of seventh house is considered to be Badhak. However, many scholars believe that
other planets in eleventh, ninth and seventh house also act as Badhkesh.
Characteristics of Badhak Planet
During Dasha of a Badhak planet, it tends to cause more harm on its own. A Badhak
planets position in a house also plays a certain role in its results. When a Badhak planet is
associated with an inauspicious planet in your Kundali, its results are amplified.
On the other hand, when a Badhak planet is associated with auspicious planets, its
inauspicious results are minimized. Badhak planets are extremely inauspicious when they
are in second, seventh or eighth house.
Badhak Planets are not always Badhak
In every Kundali, inauspicious planets are pre-determined. Initially, it is important to
understand their effects.
Eleventh house is associated with benefits in your Kundali. Similarly, ninth house in your
Kundali is associated with fortune. On the other hand, seventh house in your Kundali helps
you study all kinds of partnerships. Even your married life is studied through this house.
During Dasha or Antardasha of eleventh house in your Kundali, it is believed that you will
receive benefits in life. Arent you supposed to receive any benefits if the Lord of eleventh
house acts as Badhak? Hence, you should not reach a conclusion before understanding
more about this aspect.
In the same way, how can the Lord of ninth house, which is considered to be the most
powerful trine, suddenly becomes inauspicious since it is Badhakesh?
Moreover, if seventh house acts as Badhakesh, then everyones married life should be
affected. In other words, this means that people belonging to dual-natured signs will always
face challenges and obstacles. Hence, you should analyse every aspect of your Kundali in
detail before assuming anything about Badhak planets.
In this method, the quadrants of the house of harm can also be harmful. This is
based on the principle of Paraspara Karaka i.e. doing each others job when the
planets/signs are placed in mutual quadrants.
Paraspara Karaka means, you pat my back and I shall pat yours or you kick my
back and I shall kick yours. The patting or kicking is dependent on the natural
relationship of the planets under consideration. Thus if natural enemies are placed
in the quadrants, they shall fight and when natural friends are placed in such
position, they shall work with each other in harmony.
From the placement of the badhakesh (lord of the badhakasthana) or planets in the
badhakasthana, we can judge the wrath of others and their result consequences in
our lives in form of troubles. The wrath of following is discussed here under:
1. Wrath of deity
2. Wrath of Sarpa deva or divine serpents
3. Wrath of parents
4. Preta Badha
5. Dristi Badha
6. Abhichara
Wrath of Deity
The wrath of the deity is to be judged based on various factors. The 12th house
from the Atmakaraka is the place of the Ista Devata and it is from the 12th house
from the Badhakesh that the past life history of maintenance of the deity is to be
deciphered.
The following guidelines are the key to the analysis of wrath of deity
1) Badhakesh is placed in an adverse place and afflicted.
2) If a Malefic planet is placed in the 12th house from the Badhakesh, it indicates
that the worshipped image was mutilated.
This brings the wrath of the deity signified by the Badhakesh. Depending on the
malefic planets [Rahu, Saturn, Mars]/Upagraha [Guika, Mandi] involved, the
following can be inferred: a) Gulika/Rahu: Gulika is the son of Saturn and extremely diabolical. It rises at
the end of the Saturn's portion in the eight part division of the day. Gulika
shows poison and Rahu indicate serpents. Hence this indicates some blemishes
related to serpents such as a curse of the Serpent deity or a serpent having
touched the image of the deity has made it very impure.
b) Saturn: Pollution /dirt on the image/ temple.
c) Mars: Disputes /bad management of worship/ image/ temple etc.
The fault leading to the wrath of the deity can be narrowed down as follow. Here we
must understand that if Badhakesh is ill placed and the 12th from the badhakesh is
afflicted, then we can be certain that the native shall have wrath of a deity. The
reason can be divined from:
1) The malefic influences on the 12th from the badhakesh and/ or
2) The badhakesh itself and/ or
3) From the house where the badhakesh is placed
Cause of Wrath based on placement of Badhakesh in different houses
[Ch15, Sl 11],
1. Lagna: Lagna shows image and hence this means that the idol has been
mutilated.
Influence of planets on Badhakesh in Lagna:
a. Mars: breaking idol, image or any sacred object associated with the deity. A
fresh idol has to be installed in a temple.
b. Saturn/ Rahu/ Gulika: Saturn rules dirt, Gulika poison and Rahu impurities.
Thus if they influence the badhakesh, it indicates that pollution and dirt have
made the idol impure.
c. If Sun associates, then it is due to birds. (Birds are ruled by Sun)
2. Fourth house: Fourth house shows the place of worship or the temple and
hence it means that that the temple is either broken, desecrated or forgotten.
Further Remedies are given based on the house where the badhakesh is placed and
also the planet who shows the cause of the wrath(This can be the afflicted
badhakesh itself of the malefics in the 12th from the badhakesh). They are as
follows:
Remedies based on placement of the Badhakesh in different Houses
Remedies based on the obstruction by planets
Dristi Badha
Dristi means sight. Such kind of obstruction appears in life is some of the person
related to us becomes jealous or evil towards us and thus exert invisible evil
influences. The evil eye has been classified as three kinds of demons. Their
names are always Kamas as the evil eye is causes by desire (Kama).
1. Ranthu Kamas causes worries and is indicated by the Badhakesh in Lagna or
associating with Lagna Lord and Gulika.
2. Hanthu Kamas is intent on killing, and is seen by the association of the
Badhakesh with the 6th or 8th house or its lord and the Lagna or Lagna lord. Relief
comes from the aspecting benefic planet.
3. Bali Kamas desires some form of Bali (sacrificial offering). This is indicated by
Rahu /Gulika is in 4th, 5th, 7th or 8th house. If 6th lord conjoins /aspects, the
problem is due to enemys action.
Remedies
Natural benefics have the ability to mitigate the evils in the horoscope. If such
planet is in quadrants to the Rahu/ Gulika or aspecting or associating with the
Badhak, gemstones of the planet should be worn and the deities indicated should
be worshipped and given offerings.
Abhichara
Abhichara means black magic. This is something which is practiced in many ways in
different parts of the world, invoking the negative energies. The basic motive for
black magic is driving the enemy away from the locality, kill him or cause Lunacy.
This can involve things such as giving him food (polluted)/burying material inside
his house etc.
Combination for Abhichara:
1. Badhakesh association with 6th house or lord.
2. 6th lord in 1st, 7th, or 12th house as Mars occupies or aspects Lagna.
3. Ketu is 1st, 4th, or 10th as Mars aspect Lagna.
Remedies
1. Mritunjaya Japa, Ganapati or Tila Homa indicates the relief.
General Remedial Measures
1) Jupiter [who represent Sadashiva or Maha-Vishnu] & ninth lord help /protect.
2) A natural benefic in the ninth or ninth Lord in strength in a quadrant or Jupiter
in Lagna/aspecting Lagna are a few of the combinations for protection.
3) If malefic are in quadrant to them, they will strongly block the efficacy. The
ninth Lord can also be the Lord of 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 & 12 houses respectively. The
other house influencing the ninth house would show the deity who need to be
worshipped. For example, if the ninth Lord is also Lord of second house then,
start the remedial process by worshipping the Kuladevata.
4) If any planet conjoined or aspected by a natural benefic or a natural benefic
itself, is in Lagna, then the deity indicated by the benefic planet shall surely
protect the person.
5) If the ninth Lord associates with the Badhak House or Badhakesh, then the
deity he worshipped in his previous birth has been neglected, thereby leading
to misfortune and troubles.
6) If the fourth Lord is associated with the Badhak House or Badhakesh, then it is
the Grama Devata who need to be worshipped.
7) If the second Lord associates with the Badhak House or Badhakesh, then it is
the Kula Devata. Advise resumption of worship immediately.
