[ a ] Bali ke bakare / scapegoat [ b ] Budh ka bhed / Nature of mercury [ c ] Shani ka swabhav / Nature of Saturn
I call them posheeda because you have to find them out; they are not obvious on their own. But these three concepts are very helpful while identifying the cause of the problem. I have already explained the concept of bali ke bakare / scapegoat while talking about planets. I will talk about the other two now. Budh ka bhed : I think mercury is the most talked about planet in the Lal Kitab. It has been referred with all kinds of derogatory epithets like spitting leper, unfaithful whore, eunuch, ullu ka pattha, zaharee [ poisonous] and what not. The most important thing about the mercury is that who it is with. If the mercury is all alone in the house then it will give its own effect, if it is with another planet, benefic or malefic, it will imbibe the quality of that planet also. There are three things to be found out about the mercury in any horoscope : [ a ] Budh ki naali : Mercury mixes its own effect and of those placed with, to any other house where Venus is placed through its naali; kind of an umbilical cord. Mercury is assumed to have the power to mix the effect of the house it is placed in with the house where the Venus is placed except for when the mercury is placed in the Lagna or when 7th to each other. In spite of this umbilical relationship, the effect of the house Venus is placed in does not get transferred to the house where the mercury is placed. When the Venus gets placed in the Lagna, the effect of the mercury and the house it is placed in will get assimilated with that of the Venus. [ b ] Budh ka prabhav : Mercurys effect: It is believed that the mercury, if placed alone, gives the results of the pakka house owner. For example if it is placed in the 1st house it will give the results of the Sun, in the 2nd that of Jupiter and so on [ see table on page 181 Arun sanhita 1952 ]. Not only that it will damage the results of a planet

placed 9th from it. [ see the same table ]. [ c ] Budh ka swabhav : One has to find out the nature of the mercury. This becomes crucial under certain circumstances. There is a mathematical process through which the nature of mercury is ascertained. I am giving the process here : In order to find the nature of mercury each planet is assigned a value, this value is only for this purpose, it is not a value assigned to the planets permanently. Sun : 9 Moon : 8 Mars : 5 Mercury : 4 Jupiter : 6 Venus : 7 Saturn : 3 Rahu : 2 Ketu : 1 Step #1 : multiply the value of the planet with the house number the planet is situated in. Suppose the sun is in the 6th house then 6 X 9 = 54 , and so on. Work out for all the planets in the horoscope. Step # 2 : Add all the results together. Divide that total by 9. If the remainder is : 0 = mercury will behave like the planet placed in the 5th house. If the 5th house is not occupied then it will behave like the sun where ever the sun is placed. 1 = like Ketu 2 = like rahu 3 = like Saturn 4 = like mercury { itself } 5 = like mars 6 = like Jupiter 7 = like venus 8 = like moon Thus the nature of mercury is ascertained. How important it is to find out the nature of mercury, let me give you an example :

I got a message in my group from a couple who didnt have a child. The doctors confirmed that there was no physical deformity. I looked at both the charts, husbands and wifes , and didnt find any of the planetary combinations that could either deny or delay progeny. On the contrary in the chart of the husband Mars and venus were together in the 7th house for which the book says, sukh sagar ho bhari kabeela, santaan pota sab phalata ho { will be happy with a large family, sons and grandsons flourishing it further says that tevewala kabhi lavald na hoga chahe uske santaan yog lakh mande hi kyon na hon { will not be without progeny even if he might have hundreds of manda planetary combinations of progeny}. It suddenly struck me to work out the Budh ka bhed { nature of mercury }. Mercury was placed with rahu. When I worked out the nature of mercury it turned out to be that of Venus. Now the combination turned out to be venus + rahu ketu gina phal shukra manda. The upaya was done. Now they have a daughter. Shani ka swabhav : Nature of the Saturn While delineating one should also have a look at the nature of the Saturn. It depends on the Saturns placement relative to Rahu and ketu [ See the table on page 201 Arun Sanhita 1952; there is a mistake in printing, shukra ketu should be read shani ketu ]. The table gives an idea the Saturn adversely affecting its karaks for the house it is placed in. This nature of the Saturn does not apply for the 2nd and the 10th house. Bhooshan Priya
