 PREFACE
This e-book contains three of my articles
published in the journal MODERN ASTROLOGY: (i)
Integrating Multiple Predictive Tools - A Case Study,
(ii) Health Issues of Relatives - Astrological Clues, and
(iii) How Transits Affect Dasa-Bhukti Lords. Though
each of my article deals with the applied aspects of
Vedic Astrology, I chose these three articles for this
compilation as they exclusively deal with few
techniques which help in interpretation of various
aspects of a horoscope.
The first article was published in January 2013.
It explains the utility and the way of integration of
multiple tools of Vedic astrology such as divisional
charts, Ashtakavarga, transits, Vimshottari Dasa, Rasi-
Tulya-Vatsara Dasa, Yogini Dasas and Prasna against a
case study. The second article, published in July and
August 2012, shows the potential of a horoscope in
indicating serious health problems to the native's
relatives like mother, father, brother, sister, wife, son
etc. The third article that was published in January and
April 2015 explains the method of timing of events,
both good and bad, using the transit of Dasa and
Bhukti lords taking the clue from Phaladeepika by
demonstrating on a real-life case.
I am thankful to Mrs. Gayatri Devi Vasudev,
Editor, MODERN ASTROLOGY, for permitting me to
compile these articles in the present ebook. Mrs.
Gayatri Devi has always been encouraging my research
in astrology by publishing several of my articles in
Modern Astrology, and earlier in The Astrological
Magazine. I am also indebted to several of my friends
on facebook whose constant admiration and support
has given a great encouragement in my endeavors in
this divine subject. I sincerely hope that the readers
will find this ebook useful and interesting. I would love
to share the opinion and experience of astrologers who
have applied the principles explained in these pages.

K. Guru Rajesh
 Integrating Multiple Predictive
Tools - A Case Study
Multi-pronged Approach
Vedic astrology provides an inexhaustible range
of tools that aid in the prediction of future events.
Mastering even some of them will provide a great
insight into the horoscope. The obvious question that
strikes one is how the different tools can indicate the
same event. What if they indicate contradictory results?
How does one blend the mutually contradicting
inferences? This write-up is an attempt to explain the
utility of multiple tools of Vedic astrology such as
divisional charts, Ashtakavarga, transits, Vimshottari
Dasa, Rasi-Tulya-Vatsara Dasa, Yogini Dasas and
Prasna against a case study. The discerning readers
will be able to note that the different tools all indicate
the same inference when applied carefully.
On the night of 30th July 2010 at 9-30 pm, I got a
phone call from a friend asking me about the condition
of his wife who had been admitted to a hospital earlier
in the evening of the same day. She was in her 7th
month of pregnancy. She had suddenly developed
high blood pressure and seizures necessitating her
admission into a hospital. The doctors had said the
baby had to be delivered immediately to save the
mother and had started giving her medication for
induced labor.

Afflicted Fifth House

My friend himself has a good working
knowledge of astrology being a traditional priest. We
would often discuss about various topics of astrology
and also interesting horoscopes. I had gone through his
horoscope (Chart 1) several times and I was
apprehensive regarding his 5th house. This was the first
time his wife was pregnant after a year of their
marriage.

Chart 1: Friend: Born November 22, 1979 at 1h. 03m.

(1ST) at 16 N 05, 78 E 52.

Sagittarius is the 5th house whose lord Jupiter,

also the Karaka for children, is in the Ascendant with
Yogakaraka Mars and Rahu, both natural malefics. The
5th house is occupied by the 12th lord Moon who is in
Rasi Sandhi in the dreaded Moola Nakshatra. In
Navamsa, the 5th house is Capricorn joined by its lord
Saturn and Ketu and aspected by Mercury and Rahu
from Cancer and Mars from Gemini. The Karaka
Jupiter, though Vargottama is in the 12th from the
Navamsa Ascendant. Thus both the Rasi and Navamsa
charts show considerable affliction to the 5th house, its
lord and the Karaka which may signal trouble for the
progeny.
 In the Saptamsa,
Sagittarius is the
Ascendant occupied by
the 8th lord Moon who
occupies the same sign as
in Rasi and is aspected by
the Sun, Saturn and
Mars, all malefics, from
Kendras. Further the
Ascendant lord Jupiter
has gone to the 12th house and is joined by the 6th lord
Venus. The 5th lord, Mars who rules the first child is in
the 10th in Virgo which is the 6th from the 5th aspected
by Saturn. Mars himself is the 8th lord from the 5th
house. This is ominous and amplifies the indications of
the Rasi and Navamsa charts.

Prasna Pointers
Chart 2: Prasna: July 30, 2010 at 21 h. 30m. (1ST) at 22
N 32, 88 E 22.

Chart 2 is for the time of the query. Pisces rising

has the Ascendant lord Jupiter and 5th lord Moon in it.
The Ascendant and its occupants are aspected by
Saturn and Mars from the 7th. The Ascendant and the
5th lords are in Ithasala Yoga in the Ascendant
indicating the birth of a child very soon. However the
5th lord Moon is also in Ithasala with Saturn and Mars,
two first rate malefics. Mars is further in Poorna
Ithasala with Saturn being in the same degree as
Saturn. How does one balance these powerful negative
influences with the positive influences acting on the
Ascendant? Considering the typical Ithasala between
the Ascendant and the 5th lord in the Ascendant itself, I
told my friend that birth of a baby could be expected
within a few hours.
What would be the sex of the child? The
Ascendant, the Ascendant lord and the 5th lord are
placed in an even sign Pisces. Further, the 5th lord in
natal Saptamsa, Mars, is in an even sign Virgo. Taking
these into consideration I predicted that it would be a
baby girl.

Saturn-Mars Impact
Chart 3: Baby: Born July 31, 2010 at 2h.15m. (1ST) at
15 N 44, 77 E 29.
 As expected, my friend's wife delivered an
under-weight female baby after a few hours at
02h.15m. Her condition improved gradually but the
child's was precarious. The child was kept in an
incubator and was put under intensive medical care.
Now the next question which started agitating the
minds of all concerned was what would be the fate of
the baby?
The Ascendant in Chart 3 which is of the new-
born is Taurus unoccupied and unaspected by any
planet while the Ascendant lord Venus is in the 4th in
Leo along with Mercury, a friendly planet. Thus the 4th,
a Kendra, is occupied by the benefic Ascendant lord
Venus and the 2nd and 5th lord benefic Mercury. The
Moon, the planet important for infantile longevity, is in
a benefic sign Pisces in the 11th along with its lord
benefic Jupiter. However, Saturn and Mars aspect
Pisces from the 5th house. Prima facie there appears to
be no Balarishta Yoga as defined in classical texts for
the baby as the Moon joins a benefic and the Ascendant
lord Venus joins benefic Mercury in a Kendra.
Nevertheless, after careful observation I found that
Saturn and Mars are in the same degree in Virgo (7th
degree) exactly opposed to the degree-wise position of
the Moon in Pisces (7th degree in Pisces). This close
affliction to the Moon from the two first-rate malefics
hints at some sinister effect on the baby.

Ashtakavarga of Chart 1
To double check my inferences I checked the
Vimshottari and Yogini Dasas of my friend (Chart 1).
In Vimshottari, he was running Mercury Bhukti in Sun
Dasa. Both are in the 4th house, the 12th from the 5th,
and aspected by both Saturn and Mars. The Sun is the
Ascendant lord and Mercury is the 2nd lord. Further
Mercury is in Visakha ruled by the 5th lord Jupiter. In
Saptamsa, the Sun aspects the Ascendant. Thus both
the Dasa and Bhukti lords indicate the birth of a child
and also its loss. Yogni Dasa is known to be the most
appropriate Dasa in timing unfortunate incidents in
life. He was running Dhanya in Bhramari (Jupiter in
Mars). Both Jupiter and Mars are in the Ascendant
afflicted by Rahu. Jupiter is the 5th lord and Mars is the
5th lord from the Moon. This also corroborates with the
earlier observation.
Then I considered the Rasi-Tulya-Vatsara Dasa
to further confirm the event. He was running his 31st
year ruled by the 7th house whose lord Saturn is in the
2nd house of Kutumba indicating an addition to the
family. However, Saturn occupies the Nakshatra of the
Sun who is in the 4th house, the 12th from the 5th
indicating the loss of a child.
Thereafter I took his Ashtakavarga charts and
found that the 5th house is the weakest in the
Sarvashtakavarga with only 20 benefic points, well
below the mandatory average of 25. Next, I considered
the transit of planets in the light of Ashtakavarga. I
searched for 0 bindu signs in the Bhinnashtakavarga
charts which were being transited by the major-planets
Jupiter and Saturn and found that Jupiter, who is also
the 5th lord from the Ascendant, was transiting Pisces
in the 8th house from the Ascendant where there is no
bindu in the Bhinnashtakavarga of Saturn and there is
only 1 bindu in the Bhinnashtaka of the Ascendant.
Ashtakavarga of Chart 3
Next I considered the Dasas and Ashtakavarga
of the baby. She was born in Mercury Bhukti Saturn
Dasa in Vimshottari. Saturn joins the Maraka 7th lord
Mars and occupies the 7th from the Moon while
Mercury is a Maraka being the lord of the 2nd house. In
the Yogini Dasas, she was running Ulka in Bhadrika
ruled by Saturn and Mercury respectively. Again both
Saturn and Mercury have come into the picture and
both are Marakas as explained earlier. When we look at
the chart from the Rasi-Tulya-Vatsara Dasa angle, the
first year is ruled by the Ascendant whose lord Venus
is in the 4th with the 2nd and 5th lord Mercury. Venus is
the 8th lord from the Moon sign occupying the 6th
therefrom hinting at the impending tragedy. As far as
the transits are concerned, they are the same as for the
birth chart. When checked with the Ashtakavarga
charts the most significant feature that struck me
glaringly was the transit of Saturn in Virgo which has 0
bindus in his own Bhinnashtakavarga.

It is clear from my friend's chart that his 5th

house has severe afflictions which is confirmed by the
concerned divisional chart - the Saptamsa, and also by
the Sarvashtakavarga. Regarding the fructification of
these afflictions the Vimshottari, Yogini, Rasi- Tulya-
Vatsara Dasas and the Ashtakavarga all converge to
indicate both the birth of a female child and its loss.
The horoscope of the child and the Prasna charts are
almost similar as far as planetary positions are
considered. In the baby's horoscope (Chart 2), (i) the
association of the Moon with Jupiter and (ii) the
occupation of benefics Venus and Mercury, Venus
being the Ascendant lord, in a Kendra are the two
Yogas indicating good longevity for the baby or at least
no death within the span of Balarishta. However the
very close degree-wise affliction of the Moon from
Mars and Saturn indicates the activation of a peculiar
malefic influence which could dominate over other
good Yogas indicating impending death. The baby
died 31 hours after birth.

Chart 4: Death of the Baby: August 2, 2010 at 9h.05m.

at 77 E 29, 15 N 44.

Chart 4 shows the planetary positions and the

Ascendant at the time of the death of the baby. The
Moon has moved into the next sign Aries coming out
of the benign protection of Jupiter. Venus has just
moved into Virgo forming an Ithashala with Saturn,
Jupiter and Mars. Mars has moved ahead of Saturn
forming an Esharapha Yoga. It is interesting to note
that Venus is the 8th lord of the Prasna chart while
Jupiter is the Ascendant lord. They have exchanged
their roles in the birth chart of the baby. Thus an
Ithasala formed between them being of the Ascendant
and 8th lords may have precipitated the death of the
baby.

Summing up, the following conclusions may be

drawn:
(i) Rasi, Navamsa and the concerned divisional chart
should be studied to judge any event.
(ii) If any planet transits through a sign having 0 bindus
in any Bhinnashtakavarga that period may indicate a
very unpleasant incident like death, ill-health etc. The
area of life affected will be related to the Karakattwas
of the transiting planet and that of the concerned
Bhinnashtakavarga lord. In my friend's case, Jupiter
was transiting the sign Pisces which has 0 bindus in the
Bhinnashtakavarga of Saturn. Jupiter is the 5th lord and
natural Karaka for children while Saturn is the Karaka
for longevity. In the case of the baby Saturn was
transiting Virgo which has 0 bindus in its own
Bhinnashtakavarga. Saturn is the Karaka for longevity.
(iii) The position of planets should be observed degree-
wise. The very close affliction to the Moon from Mars
and Saturn in the birth chart of the baby, in my humble
opinion, is the main indicator of her immediate death.
(iv) If any planet is afflicted severely in its own house it
should be considered that both the house and also the
lord are afflicted thereby aggravating the affliction.
Here, the own house placement as a source of strength
cannot help. The position of Jupiter in the Prasna and
the birth chart of the baby is a case in point.
(v) In the Prasna chart, Ithasala between malefics,
mainly Saturn and Mars, afflicting the Moon,
Ascendant and the Ascendant lord indicates that the
subject matter of the Prasna is doomed ultimately.
(vi) Yogini Dasa, Rasi-Tulya-Vatsara Dasa etc. can be
conveniently combined to confirm the inference drawn
from the Vimshottari Dasa.

Every case we study offers us a lot of insights into the

art of prediction and refines our way of utilization of
the various tools of astrology.

 Health Issues of
Relatives - Astrological Clues
It is a well-known fact that a person's horoscope
can show the diseases he is prone to suffer in future. It
is also within my experience that the kind of health
problems one's relatives would have suffered in the
past or would suffer in the future can also be known to
some extent from the horoscope. This paper is aimed at
showing the potential of a horoscope in indicating
serious health problems to the native's relatives. This
may help in cases where the horoscopes of the
concerned relative are not available or as a means to
confirm the inference drawn from one's horoscope.
Only conditions that are of a serious nature such as
those causing great damage to the quality of life or
even death are considered here. The expression close
relative would mainly include the father, mother,
siblings, wife and children.
Different houses of the horoscope represent various
relatives. The 4th house signifies mother while the 9th
shows father. The 3rd stands for siblings in general and
younger siblings in particular while the 11th rules older
siblings. The spouse is indicated by the 7th while the 5th
governs children. The following approach is used in
this context:
Judge the concerned Bhava, its lord and its
Karaka.
Consider the concerned house as the Ascendant
of the relative in question and judge the
horoscope accordingly.
Consider the sign occupied by the Karaka as the
Ascendant and proceed with the analysis.
 The sign that hosts a particular Bhava
representing a relative will denote the body part
as in the Zodiac which will be the main seat of
the disease. Additionally, the signs occupied by
the concerned Bhava lord and the Karaka will
also hold the key to predicting health problems
to the relative. Also, the nature of the planets
involved in these signs has a say in the disease.
Look out for the sign which has more influences
(two or more) of natural malefics either by way
of occupation or aspect. The part ruled by this
sign indicated by the Zodiac or from the
concerned Bhava or from the Karaka will be
affected by disease.
Disease causing planetary combinations given in
the classics when present in these signs cause
the particular disease in that part.
When a concerned house and/or its Karaka are
considerably blemished but its lord has joined
strong natural benefics devoid of malefic
influences, the concerned relative will suffer the
disease but there may not be imminent death.
When the lord of a house is afflicted in the
house itself this can be considered as double
affliction, both to the house and to the lord. This
results in serious consequences.
Regarding siblings and progeny, a general
indication can be got about the nature of the
health problem. However, further details like
the particular brother, sister, son or daughter
who is likely to suffer may be quite difficult to
guage. This has to be confirmed by examining
the individual horoscope.
 The concept of Neechabhanga or cancellation of
debilitation may be ignored in judging disease
and longevity.

Mother
Chart1: Male: Born September 4, 1978 at 01h. 58m. at
16 N 18, 80 E 24.

The mother of the native of Chart 1 has suffered

breast cancer and has undergone mastectomy and
radiation therapy. The 4th house is occupied by the 2nd
lord and Karaka Moon, the 6th and 11th lord Mars and
Rahu. The 4th lord Mercury is in inimical Cancer with
the 7th and 10th lord exalted Jupiter. The Moon, the
Karaka for mother, is in Virgo itself which is the 4th
house. The signs involved here are Virgo the 4th house,
and the sign occupied by Karaka Moon, and Cancer,
the sign occupied by the 4th lord Mercury. The Moon
rules over the mammary glands and Mars and Rahu
joining Moon indicate cancerous growth. Mercury, the
4th lord, occupying Cancer denotes the chest region of
the Zodiac which also confirms the disease. Though the
4th house and the Karaka are afflicted severely by Mars
and Rahu the saving grace is the association of
Mercury with exalted Jupiter without any malefic
influences. This has saved the native's mother from
serious consequences.

Chart 2: Female: Born November 21, 1936 at 10h. 58m.

at 41 N 51, 87 W 39. (6h.W).

The mother of the native of Chart 2 died on June

17, 1953 of a cancerous brain tumor and a sister
underwent a mastectomy for cancer. Let us judge the
4th house. Aries is the 4th house aspected by Saturn and
Mars, two first rate natural malefics and by Jupiter. The
4th lord Mars is in inimical Virgo in the 9th. The Karaka
Moon joins Saturn in the 2nd. When we consider the 4th
house Aries as the Ascendant, its lord Mars occupies
the 6th in an inimical sign while the Ascendant is
aspected by Saturn, Mars and Jupiter. Judging the
horoscope taking Aquarius, the sign occupied by the
Karaka, as the Ascendant it can be seen that the 6th lord
Moon joins the Ascendant lord while the 8th is
occupied by malefic Mars. The signs involved are
Aries, as the 4th from the Ascendant, Virgo as the sign
hosting the 4th lord and Aquarius as the sign where the
Karaka Moon is placed. Going by the Zodiac, Aries
rules the head, Virgo the abdomen and Aquarius
calves of the legs. The combined aspect of Saturn and
Mars falls on Aries and hence, the native's mother a
suffered brain tumor.
What about the sister's mastectomy? The 3rd
house which signifies sisters is Pisces aspected by the
malefic Mars while the 3rd lord Jupiter is in the 12th
though in own house, afflicted by Rahu and aspected
by Mars. When we consider Virgo, the sign hosting the
Karaka, as the Ascendant, the 4th house and its lord are
severely afflicted by Rahu and aspected by 3rd and 8th
lord malefic Mars. The 4th house stands for the chest
region and hence the native's sister suffered breast
cancer and had to undergo a mastectomy.

Father
Chart 3: Male: Born April 18, 1987 at 12h. 10m. at 11 N
6, 77 E 21.

The father of the native of Chart 3 has been

diagnosed with lung cancer which is in an advanced
stage. As he has he already had three surgeries for his
heart problem the doctors say they cannot treat him as
his body may not tolerate chemotherapy and which
could prove fatal. Currently he is being treated through
homeopathy which does not seem to be working.
The 9th house Leo in Chart 3 is not occupied by
any planet but is aspected by Saturn and Mars. The 9th
lord Sun is exalted in the 5th but hemmed between
malefics. Leo afflicted by the combined aspect of
Saturn and Mars resulted in the heart problem to the
native's father. Now considering Leo as the Ascendant,
the most afflicted sign is Scorpio which is the 4th house
therefrom. Debilitated Moon joined by Saturn and
aspected by Mars in the 4th has given rise to lung
cancer to the native's father. When judged from Aries,
the sign hosting the KarakaSun, Leo is the 5th ruling the
heart while Scorpio is the 8th hosting the Moon and
Saturn and aspected by the 8th lord Mars. This explains
the terminal condition of the cancer in the chest area
ruled by the Moon.

Case 4: Female: Born October 15, 1974 at 10h. 24m. at

30 N 22, 76 E 01.

The father of the native of Chart 4 has suffered

from prolonged illness due to paralysis. The 9th house
is Cancer which is neither occupied nor aspected by
any planet. The 9th lord Moon is in Virgo in the 11th
joined by Mars and the Karaka Sun and debilitated
Venus. The 9th lord Moon and Karaka Sun do not
receive any redeeming influence of strong benefics.
When judged from the sign Virgo, it can be noted that
all the four Kendras are afflicted by the influence of
Mars and Saturn, while Mercury, the dispositor of the
9th lord Moon and the Karaka Sun, is in the 2nd
hemmed between malefics. The Sun ruling vitality,
Venus ruling veerya, Mars ruling the muscular system
and the Moon, the 9th lord, are closely associated and
afflicting one another. This explains the father's
paralytic condition and protracted suffering.

Chart 5: Male: Born on 16th August 1992 at 6h. 00m. at

20 N 14, 85 E 50.

The father of the native of Chart 5 has suffered

from pancreatic cancer (pancreatitis) after which the
pancreas was removed bysurgery. Later a lobe of the
right lung was also removed as it was found that the
cancer had spread to it. After a gap of about three years
there was a relapse with the cancer affecting his liver
and the alimentary canal to which the native's father
succumbed.
The 9th house is Virgo which is aspected by the
7 lord Moon. The 9th lord Mercury is in the 7th house
th

in an inimical sign aspected by Saturn and hemmed

between malefics. Karaka Sun though in own sign Leo
is weak owing to his occupying a junctional point. He
is further aspected by Mars. It can be seen that the
signs involved are Cancer - being the sign occupied by
the 9th lord, Leo - the sign occupied the Karaka Sun and
Virgo, the 9th house. These three signs rule the chest,
stomach and lower abdominal regions respectively of
the natural Zodiac. Though the Karaka Sun is
associated with benefics Jupiter and Venus, the 9th lord
Mercury is weak and afflicted which resulted in the
demise of the father. When judged from Virgo, the 9th
house, the 4th is occupied by Rahu and aspected by
Mars while the Ascendant lord Mercury is in an
inimical sign, hemmed between malefics and aspected
by the 5th and 6th lord Saturn. When judged from Leo,
the sign occupied by the Karaka, the 5th house is
occupied by Rahu and aspected by Mars.
The father of the native of Chart 6 is suffering
from leukaemia or blood cancer. The 9th house is
Capricorn which is aspected by the 9th lord Saturn from
Scorpio and by the debilitated Mars and the Moon
from Cancer. Both the Moon and Mars are weak owing
to their occupation of the junction point of the sign
Cancer. The 9th lord Saturn is in the 7th house in a
malefic sign; however, he is aspected by the Ascendant
lord Venus from the Ascendant. The Karaka Sun is well
placed in Gemini with Mercury. It is seen that mainly
watery signs Scorpio and Cancer are involved here.
This fact, coupled with the combination of the Moon
and debilitated Mars indicates disease rooted in the
body fluids, that is, mainly blood. However, the aspect
of a strong Venus on the 9th lord Saturn and the good
position of the Karaka Sun indicates that the native's
father would live for a few more years.

Younger Sister
Chart 7: Male: Born October 15, 1946 at 12h. 53m. at 41
N 18. 72 W 54, (5h.W)
 The younger sister of the native of Chart 7 died
on February 4, 1983 due to cardiac arrest suffering
anorexia. The 3rd house is occupied by the Sun and
aspected by Saturn from the Ascendant. The 3rd lord
Mercury is in the 4th with Yogakaraka 10th lord Mars
and the 9th lord Jupiter, hemmed between malefics.
When judged from the 3rd house, the Ascendant is
occupied by the 12th lord Sun aspected by the 6th lord
Saturn while the Ascendant lord Mercury is in the 2nd
with the 3rd and 8th lord Mars and the 4th and 7th lord
Jupiter. The 5th house ruling the heart is afflicted by the
combined aspect of Mars and Saturn. The Sun placed
in the 3rd afflicted by Saturn and the 5th from the 3rd
afflicted by the aspect of Saturn and Mars explains the
death of the native's sister due to heart disease.

Chart 8: Male: Born April 25, 1978 at 17h. Om. At 16 N

10, 81 E 08.

The native of Chart 8 has three younger sisters.

The youngest is mentally retarded since birth and she
has to be taken care of byothers even for feeding,
bathing etc. The third house that rules younger siblings
is Scorpio occupied by the 11th lord debilitated Moon
and aspected by Venus from the 9th house. The 3rd lord
Mars occupies his debilitation sign in the 11th house.
The 3rd house itself is occupied by a debilitated planet
while the 3rd lord is in his debilitation. This indicates
serious problems with the siblings while the
involvement of debilitated Moon indicates some
mental trouble. Judging from the 3rd house, the 5th
house is occupied by 8th lord debilitated Mercury who
is afflicted by Ketu while the 5th lord Jupiter occupies
the 8th house establishing an exchange of signs between
the 5th and 8th lords. Involvement of afflicted and
debilitated Mercury, Jupiter and the 5th and 8th houses
explains the retarded mental growth of the sister.

Younger Brother
Chart 9. Female: Born July 25, 1986 at 14h. 10m. at 25
N 26, 81 E 50 (5.30 Hrs East).

The younger brother of the native of Chart 9 met

with a serious accident in which his leg got severed
from his body but which was later joined by surgery.
This was in June 2011 and the brother is yet to recover
fully. The 3rd is aspected by 10th lord Sun and the 8th
cum 11th lord Mercury while the 3rd lord Saturn is in the
Ascendant in a Martian sign Scorpio hemmed between
Mars and Ketu. The signs involved are Scorpio -
hosting the 3rd lord, Sagittarius - hosting the Karaka
Mars and Capricorn - the 3rd house. These signs rule
the secret parts, thighs and knees respectively in the
Zodiac. Serious affliction to the 3rd lord involving Mars
and Ketu (kujavad ketu) explains the grave leg injury of
the native's brother.

Wife
Chart 10: Male: Born October 20, 1949 at 19h. OOm. at
29 N 24, 76 E 59.

The wife of the native of Chart 10 was

diagnosed with uterine cancer. The 7th house Libra is
occupied by the 5th lord debilitated Sun aspected by
Saturn while the 7th lord and Karaka Venus is in the 8th
aspected by Mars. This indicates serious problems to
the wife. The signs involved are Libra and Scorpio
which rule the lower abdomen and the reproductive
parts of the natural Zodiac. The involvement of Venus,
debilitated Sun and the affliction from Mars and Saturn
explain the wife's uterine cancer. When reckoned from
Scorpio, the sign hosting Karaka Venus, the 7th lord
Venus is in the Ascendant aspected by Mars while the
7th is aspected by Saturn. This also confirms the earlier
observation.

Chart 11: Male: Born November 12, 1973 at 7h. 13m. at

81 N 47, 16 E 59.

The wife of the native of Chart 11 was born deaf.

She does not understand anything and she cannot even
count currency notes. Her IQ is less than their son's
who is in Class 1. The native got her ears operated and
now she can hear though she cannot understand much.
The native was cheated into marrying her by her
parents.
The 7th house is Taurus occupied by an exalted
9th lord Moon and aspected by 2nd and 5th lord
debilitated Jupiter. The 7th lord and Karaka Venus is in
the 2nd house under heavy affliction from Saturn and
the Rahu- Ketu axis involving Gemini and Sagittarius.
Judged from the 7th house, the 2nd house is heavily
afflicted while the 2nd and 5th lord Mercury goes into
the 6th. The aspect of debilitated Jupiter on the 7th and
the 5th from the 7th further complicate matters. These
afflictions have caused impairment in the hearing and
other faculties of the wife. Though there is benefic
influence in the form of Jupiter's aspect, it is ineffective
because of his debilitation.

Son
Case 12: Male: Born December 9, 1957 at 10h.OOm. at
15 N 19, 78 E 14.

The son of the native of Chart 12 died suddenly

due to heart trouble. The 5th house is Scorpio occupied
by the 2nd lord Sun and 7th cum 8th lord Saturn while
the 5th lord Mars is in the 4th with the 6th and 9th lord
Jupiter and Rahu. The Karaka Jupiter is severely
afflicted by Mars and Rahu in an inimical sign in the
4th. When judged from the 5th house, the Ascendant is
occupied by the Sun and Saturn who are in close
conjunction. The Ascendant and 6th lord Mars is
relegated to the 12th afflicted by Rahu and joined by
Jupiter. If we judge from Libra, the sign occupied by
the Karaka, the Ascendant is occupied by 3rd and the
6th lord Jupiter afflicted by Mars and Rahu while the
Ascendant lord Venus is in the 4th afflicted by the
combined aspect of Saturn and Mars. All these
planetary dispositions indicate severe health problems
and short life to progeny. The close affliction to the Sun
from Saturn in the 5th from the Ascendant explains the
seat of disease as in the heart ruled by the Sun.

Case 13. Male: Born May 7, 1954 at 12h. 20m. at 15 N

23, 77 E 14.

The native of Chart 13 has two sons. His second

son suffered from fits and high fever during his third
month and his mental growth was arrested which has
made him mentally retarded with unclear speech. The
5th house is Scorpio aspected by 4th and 11th lord Venus
from own house. The 5th lord Mars occupies the 6th
afflicted by Rahu's and Saturn's aspect. Jupiter, the
Moon and Ketu aspect Mars from the 12th. The Karaka
Jupiter occupies the 12th joining the Moon and Ketu
and is aspected by Mars and Rahu from the 6th. All
these dispositions indicate trouble with the native's
progeny. The 5th lord afflicted by the Nodes and Saturn
and aspected further by the Moon, Ketu and Jupiter
indicate trouble with the mind and speech. When
judged from the 5th house, the Ascendant is hemmed
between malefics and its lord Mars occupies the 2nd
under severe affliction. The 2nd and 5th lord Jupiter is
relegated to the 8th, a Mercurial sign, under severe
affliction. This explains the native's son's retarded
mental growth and unclear speech.

 How Transits Affect
Dasa-Bhukti Lords

Complete System of Prediction

Vedic astrology is replete with many kinds of tools and
techniques which aid in predicting events in the life of
a native and pin-point the time of their fructification.
Even a single Sloka or a small set of 3 or 4 Slokas may
contain in them the germ of a complete system of
prediction. While studying Phaladeepika certain
Slokas of Chapter 20 that deal with the transit effects of
Vimshottari Dasa and Bhukti lords attracted my
attention. (See box)

Phaladeepika Slokas, Chapter 20

:
|
|| ||
Whichever Bhava from the natal Ascendant the Dasa
lord moves through in his transit identical with his
own, exaltation or friendly sign, the concerned Bhava
will be strengthened, provided the Dasa lord is strong
in the natal chart.

|
|| ||
When the Dasa lord is weak in the natal chart and he
transits a sign identical with his debilitation or inimical
sign or when he gets eclipsed by the Sun, the effects of
that house from the natal Ascendant will get spoiled.
 |


||||
When the Dasa lord during his transit moves in his
debilitation or inimical sign or gets eclipsed by the Sun,
the Dasa will yield unfavorable results. Contrary to
this, if the Dasa lord moves in his exaltation, own or
friendly signs or becomes retrograde during his transit
the Dasa will produce benefic results.

|
|| ||
During a particular Dasa, the results of the houses
reckoned from the natal Moon-sign will come to pass
whenever the Dasa lord transits through them.

These Slokas suggest that when a certain Vimshottari

Dasa and Bhukti is running in the life of a native, then
the transits of the Dasa and Bhukti lords can be utilized
to confirm the event promised by them in the natal
chart and also to zero-in on the time of fructification of
the event. Similarly, the transits of planets on the natal
positions of the Dasa and Bhukti lords also have say on
the manifestation of results. As with all methods of
Vedic astrology, the dicta laid down by the Rishis
should be taken as a broad guideline and more precise
rules with empirical analysis need to be identified.
With these pointers I have analysed a number of
horoscopes of people who have experienced a variety
of events, both good and bad, and found that the
method works amazingly.
First of all the events promised by the planets in the
natal chart should be analysed minutely in order to
successfully apply this method. The good or bad
results which the Dasa and Bhukti lords portend from
their natal positions, lordships and association should
be judged properly. While doing this, both the
Ascendant and the natal Moon-sign should be
considered. Similarly, the lord of the Nakshatra in
which a planet is placed as per Vimshottari Dasa
system should also be studied as it plays a prominent
role in shaping the results. Various benefic and malefic
combinations enumerated in the classical texts should
be applied carefully before drawing a conclusion
regarding the potential events that can manifest in the
life of the native during a given Dasa and Bhukti
period. After that, the following rules regarding the
transit of Dasa and Bhukti lords and also other planets
should be applied to pin-point the event. This method
is particularly helpful when at least one among the
Dasa or Bhukti lords is a slow moving planet.
Nevertheless, it works well for fast moving planets
also.

General Principles
(a) Observe the houses transited and aspected by the
Dasa and Bhukti lords both from the natal Ascendant
and the natal Moon-sign. The events connected with
these houses will manifest during the Dasa-Bhukti
period.
(b) Observe the natal planets on whom the Dasa and
Bhukti lords move or cast their aspect in transit vis-a-
vis their lordships and natural Karakattwas. The events
connected with these planets will manifest during the
Dasa-Bhukti period.
(c) Transit Dasa or Bhukti lord moving over or
aspecting a particular combination in the natal chart
may manifest the results of that combination.
(d) When the Dasa or Bhukti lord moves on or aspects a
house of which it has natural Karakattwa the results of
that house will manifest significantly.
(e) When the Dasa and Bhukti lords move over or
aspect their natal positions then the period will give the
results promised by them in the natal chart.
(f) When either the Dasa or Bhukti lord is a natural
benefic and indicates a happy event in transit while at
the same time the other lord is a natural malefic and
indicates unfavourable result in transit, then the native
will experience both results during that period. For
example, events like marriage followed by immediate
separation, or birth and death of a child etc.

Favourable Results
Opposition and Conjunction
1) Dasa or Bhukti lord transiting the 9th house from the
natal Ascendant or the Moon-sign may give happy
occasions like marriage, child birth etc.
2) The Dasa and Bhukti lords coming into opposition in
transit will give benefic results promised by their
position in the natal chart.
3) When Dasa and Bhukti lords come together in
transit in a beneficial house either from the natal
Ascendant or from the natal Moon, then the native will
experience the favorable results of these houses.
Transit Jupiter
4) When transit Jupiter moves on natal Dasa or Bhukti
lord, the native may experience happy events. Also,
Dasa or Bhukti lord transiting on natal Jupiter may
indicate happy events.
5) Transit Jupiter on or aspecting both Dasa or Bhukti
lords will give happy events. 6) When Jupiter is either
the Dasa or Bhukti lord and transits over the other
planet while the said planet aspects or moves over
natal Jupiter, the native will experience happy events.
7) The Dasa or Bhukti lord in transit moving over or
receiving the aspect of natal Jupiter and Venus will
give benefic results pertaining to the houses owned by
him in the natal chart and also the houses influenced
by him in transit.
8) When the Dasa or Bhukti lord transits natal Jupiter
while transit Jupiter moves over the natal position of
the Dasa or Bhukti lord, the native will experience
benefic results.
9) When a Dasa or Bhukti lord is a natural malefic and
transits over a beneficial house from the natal
Ascendant or natal Moon while simultaneously either
Jupiter or Venus is transiting over the natal position of
the said planet, then the native will experience happy
events.
10) When both Dasa and Bhukti lords join together in
transit in the natal Ascendant or natal Moon-sign while
transit Jupiter aspects their natal positions, then the
native will experience happy events.
11) Transit Jupiter moving over the natal position of
the Dasa or Bhukti lord or aspecting them in transit
bestows favourable results on the native.

I have tested these rules successfully on more than 60

horoscopes and would like to demonstrate its
applicability through an example horoscope.

Unfavourable Results
The first part of this paper has dealt with the
connection between the Dasa-Bhukti lords and
transiting planets covering favourable results. There
are other principles which can also be applied in
deciphering unfavourable results to the Dasa-Bhukti
lords against the transits of planets.

Mutual Relationships
1) The Dasa and Bhukti lords portending evil results in
the natal chart and joining together or coming in
mutual opposition in transit in malefic houses from the
natal Moon or the natal Ascendant will bring about evil
results.
2) When the Dasa and Bhukti of malefic planets are
running and one of them transits over the other, then
the bad effect suggested in the natal chart will manifest
itself.
3) When both the Dasa and Bhukti lords are natural
malefics and form a formidable combination in the
natal chart and one of them moves on or aspects that
natal combination in transit while the other moves on
or aspects the natal Ascendant, Moon-sign or the 10th
house from them, the native will experience very bad
results and commit grave mistakes due to poor
judgment.
Debilitation
4) The Dasa or Bhukti lord transiting his debilitation
sign and suffering combustion at the same time will
give very bad results.
5) If the Dasa or Bhukti lord occupies his debilitation
sign in a bad house in the natal chart and transits the
same sign then that period will be unfavourable.
6) When a Dasa or Bhukti lord moves over a planet
debilitated in the natal chart and also joins the same
planet in transit, then the period will give bad results.
7) When either the Dasa or Bhukti lords is debilitated
and posited in a bad house in the natal chart and the
Dasa and Bhukti lords in transit move through or
aspect that house, then the native will experience bad
results as indicated by that house.
8) The Dasa and Bhukti lords both moving over or
aspecting natal debilitated planets will bring bad
results like loss of position etc.
Inimical Signs and Planets
9) When a Dasa or Bhukti lord in transit moves in an
inimical sign joined by planets inimical to him, then
that period will give bad results.
10) When Jupiter is either the Dasa and Bhukti lord and
joins his enemies Venus or Mercury or both in transit
in an inimical or debilitation sign, then the native will
experience bad results.
Combustion
11) The Dasa or Bhukti lord though moving in
exaltation, friendly or own sign will give unfavourable
results when combust at the same time.
Malefic Planets and Positions
12) Transit of malefic planets over Dasa or Bhukti lord
who is disposed badly in the natal chart will give bad
results.
13) Though a planet transits his exaltation, own or
friendly sign that will not preclude him from giving
unfavourable results if that sign happens to be the 6th,
8th or 12th house from the natal Ascendant or natal
Moon.
14) When a Dasa or Bhukti lord transits his natal
position joined by transiting malefic planets, the native
will experience bad results.
15) When a Dasa or Bhukti lord moves in his
debilitation sign or a malefic house from the natal
Ascendant or natal Moon and is simultaneously
influenced by transit Saturn and Mars either by
conjunction or aspect then the period indicates
unfortunate events.
16) When the Dasa or Bhukti lord moves over a natal
planet that owns bad houses and joins the same planet
in transit also, then the native will experience bad
results of the house pertaining to that natal planet.
17) When the Dasa or Bhukti lord activates a
formidable natal combination in transit and
simultaneously suffers combustion or affliction by
transiting malefic planets, the native experiences very
bad results indicated by the natal combination.
18) When Saturn is one among the Dasa and Bhukti
lords and generates sadesathe in
transit (moves in the 12th, 1st or 2nd from natal Moon)
while the other lord simultaneously indicates bad
results in transit, the native will face difficult
circumstances.
Rahu-Ketu
19) The Dasa or Bhukti lord joining transit Rahu or
Ketu will be bad. This will be more pronounced when
the planet moves through his inimical or debilitation
sign.
20) Rahu transiting on natal position of Dasa or Bhukti
lord will be bad.
21) When transit Rahu moves over a planet whose
Dasa or Bhukti is current and that planet
simultaneously transits his debilitation or inimical sign
or suffers combustion, bad results follow.
22) When both the Dasa and Bhukti lords move over a
bad natal combination joined with transit Rahu then
that period will prove to be unfavourable.
23) When Rahu or Ketu is the Dasa or Bhukti lord, the
transit or aspect of the Node over natal Ascendant or
natal Moon may give bad results.
24) If the Dasa or Bhukti lord transits natal Rahu while
transit Rahu simultaneously transits over the natal
position of the said planet, then the native will
experience bad results.

The same case discussed in Part I of this paper is

examined in the light of these principles for
unfavourable results.

Event XIV: Father's Heart Attack and Bypass Surgery:

Rahu Dasa-Mars Bhukti >> The native's father suffered a
heart attack on October 2nd 2002 and had to undergo
bypass surgery on November 11th 2002. The 9th house
lodges Saturn in an inimical sign with Rahu while the
9th lord and Karaka Sun is exalted in the 5th with Mars
and Mercury. The 9th is hemmed between benefics
exalted Jupiter and Full Moon. Thus, though the 9th
house is considerably afflicted, the 9th lord and Karaka
Sun is fortified and the 9th house is protected by the
benefic Argala.
Vimshottari: Both the Dasa and Bhukti lords are natural
malefics. The Dasa lord Rahu is in the 9th with Saturn.
Rahu occupies the Nakshatra of Venus who is in the 4th
(8th from the 9th). The Bhukti lord Mars joins the 9th lord
Sun in the 5th house along with Mercury. Mercury is a
Maraka from the 9th house. Mars occupies the
Nakshatra of Ketu who is in the 3rd house, the 7th from
the 9th. Mars Bhukti is the last in Rahu Dasa coming
under Dasa-chidram which usually gives bad results.
Transits: Dasa lord Rahu was transiting Taurus, the 9th
house from the natal Moon. Bhukti lord Mars was
transiting natal Saturn and Rahu in Leo, the 9th house
from the natal Ascendant.

Event XV: Father's Hip Fracture and Operation: Jupiter

Dasa-Ketu Bhukti >> On October 24th 2010, the native's
father fell down and had a hip fracture which was
operated upon on November 2nd 2010 and a joint
replacement done.
Vimshottari: Dasa lord Jupiter is in the 8th house, the
12th from the 9th and happens to be the 8th lord from the
9th house. Jupiter occupies the Nakshatra of Saturn
who is in the 9th along with Rahu. The Bhukti lord Ketu
is in the 3rd and should give the results of Saturn who
occupies the 9th house with Rahu. Both Dasa and
Bhukti lords are in Shastashtaka or mutually
unfavorable positions.
Transits: The Dasa lord Jupiter was transiting Pisces,
the 8th house from the natal 9th house. The Bhukti lord
Ketu was transiting Gemini, his debilitation sign,
aspecting the natal Ascendant.

Event XVI: Heart Problem to Mother: Jupiter Dasa-Venus

Bhukti >> The native's mother had to be hospitalized
on September 28th 2011 as she was complaining of
shortness of breath. It was diagnosed as heart failure
because of reduced EF%.
Vimshottari: The Dasa lord Jupiter is the 4th lord from
both the Ascendant and the Moon-sign. Though in his
exaltation sign, Jupiter is in the 8th house from the
Ascendant in the Nakshatra of Saturn who is placed in
the 6th from the 4th in Leo which rules the heart. The
Bhukti lord Venus is the 6th and 11th lord from
Ascendant and occupies the 4th house aspected by 8th
lord and Karaka Moon. From the 4th house Venus is the
3rd and 8th lord.
Transits: The Dasa lord Jupiter was in Aries, the 8th
house from the natal Moon-sign aspecting Libra, the 8th
from the 4th house from the natal Ascendant. The
Bhukti lord Venus was transiting his debilitation sign
Virgo where the natal Moon, the Karaka, is placed.
Transit Venus was with transit Saturn, the Sun, Moon
and Mercury aspecting Pisces, the 4th house from the
natal Ascendant.

Event XVII: Fathers Death: Jupiter Dasa-Moon Bhukti >>

The natives father died on August 24th 2015.
Vimshottari: As explained earlier Jupiter is capable of
causing harm to the natives father. The Bhukti lord
Moon is the 8th lord, 12th lord from the 9th house, and
placed in the 2nd to 9th house, a Marakasthana. Further,
the Moon occupies the Nakshatra of Mars who joins
Pitrukaraka and 9th lord Sun and 10th lord Mercury, a
Marakasthana lord from the 9th house.
Transit: Dasa lord Jupiter was transiting Leo, the 9th
house from the ascendant where Saturn and Rahu are
placed in the natal chart. Further, Jupiter was combust
by his close proximity to transit Sun, the 9th lord and
natural Karaka for father. Bhukti lord Moon was
debilitated in Scorpio aspecting Taurus, the 9th house
from the natal Moon-sign.

This case illustrates the principles given in

Phaladeepika very well.

the garland in Naadi astrology and a tribute to the
great martyrs of India. Not only astrologically, this
book is a pleasurable read from a historical point of
view too Astrologer Mr. Alok Jagawat

I had the opportunity to read pre-publication copy of

the book SARFAROSH. It is a voluminour astrological
work on great persons from the viewpoint of Naadi. I
wondered the astrological knowledge of Sri Rajesh. I
wish him all the best in his journey in this Ancient
Wisdom Sri A.V. Sundaram, revered senior scholar
of vedic astrology.

The biographical inputs are detailed and many of

them unknown, perhaps, brought to light for the first
time. In fact, the author has taken up a Herculean task
and completed it most successfully. In short, a boon to
the Naadi astrologers and a good text book for those
not initiated into the study of Naadi principles, it is a
valuable addition to the extant astrological literature
