In Nadi Astrology, we mainly use Karaktatwa of Planets and then Signs.

Benefits
Even if we don’t have correct birth time we can do predictions for past as
well as future.
Even with the help of only 2 planets, we can give some predictions to some
extent.
No need to check dasha for timing. So predictions will be quick.
Exchange between planets gives answer of sudden changes in life.

Rules
When two friendly planets meet they give favorable/good results of their
Karaktatwas.
When two enemy planets meet they give unfavorable/bad results of their
Karaktatwas.
Result could be modified based upon aspect, signs, houses and other
aspects of planets.

Karaktatwa in detail
Moon
Red powder- causative planet of mind- Mother- cold, cough -Art, Water-
Universal Mother - Movement and ~ravels - Full Moon - Vibration - impulse
of mind - impleading.
"Mana Eva Manushyaanaam Bandha Moksha Karanaha"
Man's mind is controlled by moon and all the activities of life are governed
by Moon. Just like food without salt becomes useless., because salt
highlights the taste of food. Mother feeds food for the world and if a baby
had lost its mother, somebody in the form of mother feeds food to the baby.
Moon denotes milk - nectar – Moon is born in "Ksheera Sagara" (The
Oceanic concept of Milk) “Ksheero Sambhavam".
Also Moon indicates Mother-in-law- Maternal uncle's wife- Moon indicates
cunning & fraud -Tank. If Moon is exalted denotes lake, river- Food
products.

Jupiter
Causative planet of life - respect - status - guide - Master - Head of
religious institution - Sun is Soul - Jeeva (life) - and reflection of Soul
Yellow colour. In female chart he is the life and Jupiter aspects nose.
Above the life there is planet of venus (this is according to the traditional
system of Hinduism - because women folk in India particularly are in the
tradition of wearing Nose ring of Diamond stud and also wear silver rings in

2
the second finger of legs - so, life in females is governed by Venus. (For
male Jupiter is to be considered as life.) Also, Jupiter is life, Nose is
governed by Jupiter, diamond is the causative planet of Venus and hence
there are combinations of Jupiter (nose) + Venus (Diamond) indicated for
ladies. Hence it can be observed that life is surrounded by venus indicated
for ladies. Hence, it can be observed that life is surrounded by Venus -
Jupiter indicates prosperity. According to Indian traditions wearing of Nose
ring or Diamond is sign of prosperity and auspiciousness.

Exchange of planets
Sometimes we see a sudden change in the life of person.
For example: A person is poor and after marriage or after child birth
suddenly he becomes rich.
What is an exchange?
An exchange is when two planets are situated in each other’s sign.
When does exchange happen?
Answer of this question is little difficult. Saturn is an indicator of Time or
Kaal. Therefore, Saturn is responsible to trigger any event in the life of a
person.
For example: If Mercury is in Libra, a sign of Venus and Venus is in
Virgo, a sign of Mercury.
Let’s take an example, where a poor person in few days becomes very rich.

6 Ve Ke

Here, Venus is in Virgo so it is debilated with Ketu and Saturn and Mercury
are in Libra. Venus is in Mercury sign and Mercury is in Venus sign. But
after mutual exchange of Mercury and Venus, Venus will come in its own
sign with Saturn by crossing the line of Rahu & Ketu and Mercury also
gets exalted status due to Virgo sign. Therefore, after the exchange due to

4
the combination of Venus and Saturn this person will get huge amount of
money.

Let’s take another example, where an unexpected candidate qualifies IAS

exam.
Here, Mercury with Moon in Scorpio and Mars in Virgo. Mercury is in Mars
sign and Mars is in Mercury sign. But after mutual exchange of Mercury
and Mars, Mars will come in own sign and Mercury also gets exalted status
due because it comes in Virgo sign. In Virgo sign, it also gets directional
aspect of Jupiter and Venus and this combination becomes Saraswati
yoga.

movement in Jatak’s life.
