Dear Amar, You become successful in brokarage business ie you don't invest your money in business,but use others money to do business and take your % of profits and pay back the money with a bit profit to them from whom you take money. Regarding obstruction to business the 11th lord Ravi is in 8th with combust and retro 9th and 12th lord Mercury.Now Kuja dasa is running.Sukra antardasa from 8/2009 to 10/2010 is a bit testing.(8-6 relation). Take precaution while dealing with opposite sex includes your family. Your Shani sadesathi ends by 11/2011. Prayers to Sri Surya Dev(daily),Sri Lakshminarayan(Wednesdays) and Shani Dev on Saturdays gives you benefic results. If you stop the remedies you will be back to the square one and have to sing the same old tune. with best wishes, USR

Dishu, you are in Shani mahadasa which ends by 2020. Shani sadesath starts by 10-9-2009 and ends by 27-1-2017. Lagna and lord of profession Mercury is in 12th with 2nd and 9th lord venus. Prayers to Sri Lakshmi Narayan and puja to Shani can give relief and improve your present condition. Don't wear any Gem except pearl. If these simple remedies are done, you are likely to get the job you are aspiring before 12/2009 and probably with in couple of months. wbw, USR

Anushaji, Since my childhood i liked Sri Hanumanji like that only. He is full of energy,dedication with a single goal of serving his lord Sri Ram and his people.He is one among few ever living (Chiranjeeva!}and omnipresent.He is one form of Lord Shiva. Try him,he may listen to your prayers.But he is a bachelor. Lunar eclipse on 6-8-2009 starts by 4.31 am and likely to disappear by sunrise. Wbw, USR

Anushaji, Only those stars which are eclipsed need shanty puja. We need not include all the stars which fall in the constallation of Shani or Chandra belonging to other houses. As per our custom ,all healthy people can take head bath after the Grahan kal and light a lamp before their deity with normal prayers.It is enough including the houses you mentioned. Still doubts are there ,consult local pundit for advise,as customs may vary from place to place. For practical purposes, I think this much information is enough.The subject is too vast. with best wishes, USR

Dear V.K.Sridhar, Before giving correction let us see the panchanga published by local astrologers or by Govt of India. I used local punchanga of AP. I don't thimk such a vide variation of time exists, may be a few minutes difference may exist between Kanyakumari to Kashmir.Solar eclipse is recorded. But the lunar eclipse on 6-8-2009 ,India falls in the fring areas of partial shadow of eclipse(penumbra). Still ,better to take precaution . Guide the members wrt Indian panchangas better wrt Ujjain . The site you referred gives more details on Lunar eclipse wrt any place in the world.For solar eclipses it doesn't give the in and out times for all the places otherthan USA. Anyway you are well versed being an author,it is my pleasure to share something with you, With best wishes, USR

Out of the 3 eclipses, the lunar eclipse on date 7th July 2009 is not visible in India.It is partially visible on 6th August 2009. The Solar eclipse on 22nd July is 75% visible. Lunar eclipse on 6-8-2009. Moon's Azimuth Altitude h m o oMoonrise 2009 Aug 05 18:42 109.3 ----Moon enters penumbra 2009 Aug 06 04:31.0 242.5 18.1Moonset 2009 Aug 06 06:03 253.0 ---- Moon star is Sravana pada 3 , ruling lord is Shani., Nakshatra lord Moon. Puja to Moon or Sri Parvathi mata. Solar Eclipse on 22nd July 2009 Starting at 5.28 am, middle point 5.41 am and ends by 7.22 am. It is about 75% eclipse. Moon star is Pushyami pada 1,ruling lord Chandra,Nakshatra lord Shani.. Puja to Shani or Lord Shiva or Sri Hanumanji. If navagraha temple is available ,better to do puja to the moon/shani on the above days by those whose birth star is Sravana on 6-8-2009 and Pushyami on 22-7-2009..

Janakiji, Can you give the start and end of the eclipses with dates ? with best wishes, USR

we can't straightaway say there is no effect of eclipses either partial or total on either individuals or nations.Our Vedic astrology predictions , forecast depends totally on the position of Chandra and it's constallation.During the eclipse chandra loses its power so all the individuals lose their dasa effects during the period. The rituals prescribed are fasting, bathing after eclipse and puja. Those whose birth star happens to be the eclipsed star (Moon's star at that time) have to do shanti or puja to the star lord to remove any bad effects etc

Dear software_riaz, after a long time there is nice discussion on gemstones more so on a Diamond. Venusians like it.For ladies it helps in more marital bondage ,but doesn't help in progeny. So they wear a combination with Rubies. wbw&gl USR

Anjali, Hearing voices and dreams of attacks are due to certain strong psychological impressions on your mind. This has started from Rahu MD-Kuja AD since 9/2006. I feel you are subjected to an attempt of physical abuse by a close relative (may be an uncle or cousin) or afraid of such an attempt by their behaviour ,which made a strong impression on your mind. To erase these impressions,you have to buildup a good friendship with reliable people and have confidence in you. Attend some yoga or gym. Astrological remedies are Pray Rahu , Ketu and Shani.(or Sri Durga Mata/Ganeshji/Hanumanji) Shani is not yogakaraka for you.He is combust and associated with Ravi lagna lord .Generally when Ravi and Shani are in one house Ravi transfers his traits to Shani and Shani dominates in giving the results in Dasa and Antardasas.By combustion Sun has acquired the traits of Shani the 6th and 7th lord effecting the lagna ie you. This is what I think about your horoscope. wbs USR

Dear Avinash, Make use of medical facilities available as expressed by Oruganti.Don't neglect in that. For astrological satisfactin vide your horoscope ,the Sun is afflicted by the 5th and 8th lord Budha with combust Rahu.Sun is the 5th lord of natural zodiac and stands for heart.In your case he is 7th lord, a mild maraka.It may make you a chronic heart patient but may not take your life.Navamsa also reflects similar affliction. To improve your health pary Ravi/Lord Shiva, Sri Vishnu . Try a ring in copper with pure Ruby around 3-5 carats(ring bottom not to be covered,so Sun rays can touch your skin in Sun light) on the left hand ring finger.Before wearing pray Ravi and clean the ring with milk. Remove any other rings from your fingers. with best wishes, USR

Dear Oruganti, Wearing a navratna ring on the ring finger seems to be proper as the mount of Ravi is just below the ring finger.The center of all other planets is Ravi,so it is correct. When you visit a navagraha temple pl observe it. Your guruji might have put it on the index finger of one of his disciple due to over size of the ring ,otherwise it may slip from the ring finger. The effect of wearing such a ring is negligible ,but it looks beautiful and the person might appear rich. Your inlaws perhaps want to see you look rich. with best wishes, USR

dsharma, There is a difference in North India and in South India wrt Kuja dosha. In North Kuja in 1st house is also considered as Kuja dosha. But in South it is not so. wbw, USR

dsharma, Mangal is lagna lord is in his own house Vrischika aspected by exalted 9th lord Chandra. Mangal dosha is cancelled by this in your BF horoscope. wbw, USR

Dear Ashi, You didn't give any additional info except "He has no issues"-do you mean he has no problems or no children. If he has no issues, mean he is still a bachelor. Venus is lagna lord as well as 8th lord. It is exalted and also vargottamam.It is placed in 6th gives rise to vipareet rajayoga and his period gives him happiness which he remembers in his life time. He gets tempted towards comforts , beautiful items and girls. Antardasa of Rahu (8-6) is a bit testing period and little bit expensive / loss during Ravi and Budha (1-12) AD. His Shani sadesathi ends by 10-9-2009. Shani combined with Chandra in Karkataka delays his marriage.(a delayed marriage). If he is not yet married he gets married during Sukra dasa. Exalted Mars in 4th aspecting moon and saturn ,he may differ with his mother.But, gains a lot in lands,civil works and buildings.Best suited for contract works. wbw USR

Dear Ashi, Gender of the native ? Any important events/problems with date. wbw, USR

Dear Kailash, Abhiskeka of lord Shani with sesame seed oil, sesame seeds,offering small piece of black cloth ,flowers, a coconut and lighting a lamp with sesame seed oil with prayer on Saturdays is enough. You can do through a pujari or yourself in a navagraha temple.If no such temple is available in your locality prayers to Sri Durga mata and Shani helps. with best wishes, USR

Dear Kailash, I wish to add a little bit to Atulji's analysis.His analysis is great. Guru is retro,vargottamam,placed in his own house 9th is more than exalted. It gives good results of 6th,9th and also the houses it aspects ie 1,3,5. All related to love and romance. But there is exchange of 7th and 8th lord Sani with lagna lord Chandra fully aspecting each other and their houses. You seem to be slow in deciding about marriage and perhaps not yet married. Saturn aspect on 3rd with exalted Budha (a neutral gender) planet makes you not certain about your manliness. Do something to pacify Lord Sani. Wbw, USR

Dear Bhajan, You get married after 15/4/2010.Chandra MD-Sani AD is not good.They are in 8-6 relation. Pray Sani for this period. Kuja(Mangal) the 2nd and 7th lord in 8th and Rahu in 2nd are obstructing your marriage. Pray Lord Subrahmanya and Durga mata regularly. You need not use any gem. The lady can be a desi. wish you early marriage. USR

Dear Manish, Sri Ganeshji can be worshiped with simple prayer,lighting a lamp,offering flowers,prasad (ex banana/coconut etc).This you can do at home. Lord Sani likes sesame seeds,sesame seed oil abhiskeka,flowers,lighting a lamp with sesame seed oil,black ribbon (small size) ,coconut etc on Saturdays with simple prayer. Feeding/helping the old/poor people also he likes. No expensive poojas are required. There is nothing wrong in asking for clarification. wish you good luck, USR

Smt Sweta, wrt your husband :-The remedies i suggested can be done as soon as possible. The reason why i asked you not to ask any further questions is to verify the results.Regardings gems etc i don't find any necessity at present,so i didn't suggest any.This is enough for the present situation. What ever you feel good ,you can follow. I wish you soon to come out of your problems. USR

Dear sandy, In most of such cases like you, astrology has little role to play.Best method is go to her parents,try to convince them and try your luck.Similarly convince your parents also. If they agree, it is well and good. If they don't agree, if you are fond of her, marry on your own . Asking for matching of horoscopes gives you an excuse to escape from your love affair.True love doesn't rely on these things.Make sure your's is such one. This is my observation of many such astrological requests. This is my opinion and you need not agree with me.You can try for answers from other eminent member astrologers. wish you goodluck, USR

Smt Swetha, Your husband is having Sani Sadesath from 11/2006 to 11/2014. The present Mahadasa is of Guru the 3rd and 6th lord in 4th.Antardasa is of Sani till 6/2011. They are in Shashtashtakam (6-8). You can't expect relief due this. To reduce the suffering ask your husband to do puja to Lord Shiva on Monday's and to Shani on Saturdays . Do it in a temple. The general placement of planets in his chart indicate he has to recite the navagraha stotras everyday. wish you goodluck. USR Don't ask me further questions till you observe the above for reasonable time and the results.

Dear Laika, I am unable to understand what do you mean by "bhrikut dosh". Can you explain what you understand by this and where did you get this term. With what reference you are asking pl let me know. This bhakoot or bhakut dosh is seen between the natal charts of boy and girl for moon rasi compatibility. So, only boy or girl charts are not studied in isolation. In your case ,Girl's rasi is Mesha and boy's rasi is Vrischika the match need not be rejected due to the two agreements. 1.Lord of both the houses is same ie Kuja. 2.Girl's moon sign is odd and boy's moon sign is even. The match is acceptable if other points are favourable. Better Puja to Mangal is done before marriage by girl and boy. With best wishes, USR

Latika, Bhakoot dosha is about the relationship between the boy's moon sign (Rasi)and girl's moon sign.For example if boy's rasi is 2nd to the girl it gives this dosha resulting in loss of wealth due to their marriage. Some exceptions exist and some remedies can be found . It is one point in matching the horoscopes. Matches are generally rejected if this dosha is found without exploring the exceptions and remedies. It is time consuming process. USR
