Dear learned friends, My daughter,not married yet, has recently bought a flat Hyderabad.To perform Grahaprevesam a Pundit has suggested Muhurtha before Sun rise on 21st April,2011/Thursday/ Between 5-00 & 6-00AM/Utrabhadra Star/Chaturthi thithi. Her birth Star is Poorvabhadara-3(Kumbha Rasi)/ Sima Lagna- DOB:30-8-1977/ 7-04 AM/Chennai,Tamilnad. As per the time given the day goes to Wednesday,Chaturthi thithi.I understand Wednesday & Chaturthi thithi are not recommended for Grahapprevesam function. I request learned ones on this forum to kindly check this & give your valuable guidance. Is this a Godhukuli Time? Please help. Regards, M.R.Moorthi

Respected USR Ji, Pranams, Excuse me for the delay.As I was otherwise busy,I could check your advice just now.Thank you very much.I will look for other suitable dates,as suggested. Another view is that on the given day(16.2.2011) and time(7-11 to 7-31 AM) while Jupiter in 2L(Pisces) takes care of Moon in 6L & Lagna lord in 8L with saptama sudhdhi,Navamsa takes care to check the L & Venus 8 navamsa and also suggests Ganapthi Homa & Navagraha Shanthi Homa before the muhurththa. However I will check whether any other suitable day is available. Kind regards, M.R.Moorthi

Dear USR Ji, Pranams My sincere thanks to your analysis & suggestions.I have take note of all. In addition to 24-1-2011 another alternative suggested is 16-2-2011/Kumbha lagna/Punarvasu star-4th/Sukla thriyodasi/Wednesday. Will you please kindly check this also can be taken as an alternative for the convenience of the bride? My kind regards, M.R.Moorthi

Respected USR Ji, Pranams. In my second post it was a typographical error.Excuse me for the mistake.I meant the date 24-1-2011 only.Any suitable date between 15-1-2011 and 14-3-2011 for the couple will be quite satisfactory. I could view your posting only today,as there was delay in the site itself due to the reason posted by the moderator. Best regards, M.R.Moorthi

Namaskaram with due respect to Shri Sasisekaran & Sow.Anusha. My heartfelt thanks to you both for taking my posting on the need of a marriage muhurtham.It is indeed heartening that Anushaji is trying to find a suitable one with so much of consultations with expert astrologers like Sasisekaranji. One Pandit here is also of the view that both 16/2/11 or 16/3/11 are fine for this prospective couple but he suggests 16/2/11 could be better than 16/3,as this day falls on Ekadasi which is a fasting day for elders. He is also of the opinion that on 16/2 Debilitated Venus in 8 th Kumbha navamsa need not be serious,as Jupiter 9 navamsa will take care of any ill effect. This only an information. I learn from a friend that good murthams are very limited this year. However your discussions are really very interesting & I am sure to have one nearly ok. Regards, M.R.Moorthi

Respected astrologers & muhurtha experts, Can any one throw some light on this muhurtha date? I do not know whether respected V.K.Shridhar Ji,an expert on electional astrology, is part of this forum. Regards, M.R.Moorthi

Dear respected astrologers, Pursuant to my posting on the 30th I state for information Vakya panchang gives only one Muhurtha day on the 24th january 2010 as below. Monday/Tamil month "Thai 10"/Krishna Panchami/utraphalguni/Siddha yogam/Muhurtha Lagna-kumbha(9to10-25 AM) Blue Vastra dhanam. Sun rise on 24th is at 6-39AM at Chennai. I hence find that either the Muhurtha Lagna or the TIme duration given could be wrong. Invite well considered views on this Muhurtha day for the said couples. Also invite suggestions on alternate muhurtha day during the period,if available. Regards, M.R.Moorthi

Respected learned members, Namaskaram. Please suggest suitable muhurtha day & time for marriage at Chennai for the following couple (Birth data given) during the Tamil Month "Thai"(Between 15th January,2011 and 12th February,2011). Here the bride is little older than the groom. BRIDE: 7th October,1978 /11-13 PM(23-13 hrs)/Chennai,Tamilnad GROOM:18th May,1979 /2-48 AM/ Chennai Look forward to the valuable guidance. Regards, M.R.Moorthi

Dear webyogi ji, Pooja with flowers is practiced from time immemorial.Even lord Rama,as a human being used flowers for poojas.Even lord krishana adorns one always.No temple niyamanas go devoid of flowers.Even mata Andal wore one daily before offering the same to the lord.If offering flowers to god is like a sacrifice of a life,even plucking of vegetables,fruits,leaves etc which are god given to sustain lives is also a wicked act. Probably I could be wrong in such a comparison.Let us have your valuable comment. Regards. M.R.Moorthi

Dear Anusha ji, From your postings I understand you have analytical skill but you hesitate to express your view.Does not matter,express.Some one will surely help, in case your analysis needs some amendments. Best wishes

It is true that Gajakesari is formed,when Jupiter is in kendra from Moon but the yoga is effective only when Jupiter and Moon are free from malefic aspects & associations,both in D1 & D9.Otherwise the yoga does not exist. M.R.Moorthi

Dear Raman ji, I was indisposed for a week and could not check your post and reply& hence this delay.Excuse me. I genarally go by the views given by SandhuJi and the one presented by me is not mine but what was observed in some Almanacs and in some language astro magazines.It is for comments only. M.R.Moorthi

Dear Sandhu Ji, Some have the following view on Ragu/Ketu relation/ownership Aries,Cancer,Leo,Aquarius :Enemy for both Gemini,Virgo,Libra,Sagit,Capri.Pisces:Friend for both Taurus:Both debilitated/ also while Ketu debilitated,Rahu exalted Scorpio:Both exalted / also while Ketu exalted,Rahu debilitared Seems not convincing.Such ones appear in panchangs and some local astro magazines. Regards, M.R.Moorthi

Dear learned ones, Pranams There is a view that a malefic owning a kendra but not occupied by it while being a friend to Asc lord is considered a benefic and in line with this for the Leo Asc natives the lord of 4th & 9th is the same natural malefic,Mars but becomes functional benefic to the natives and hence the Bhadak title is confered on the 3rd & its lord which is 7th from the 9th. J.S.Sandhu Ji has also said so with a lot of clarity for better understanding.Hope coolgimmy can take a cue. Regards M.R.Moorthi

Dear all, I am just posting a copy of a valuable part of J.S.Sandhuji's thread "Bhadakas in 12th is good and auspicious"some time ago where one can find an intersting revealation on bhadakas & Bahadakasthana. Thus 1.For Movable sign Asc 11th house and its lord,the concept being followed 2. For Fixed sign Asc (7th from the 9th)3rd house & its lord 3.For Dual sign Asc 7th house and its lord,the concept being followed - Bhadaka sthana & Bhadaka lord You will find an interesting one with respect to Fixed sign Asc. Please read on MRM Dear all, If you can source times of astrology, Jan-march 08, And read an article by KK pathak , some mysterious concept in astrology , you will see the badhaka issue in new light of knowledge thus provided, For fixed signs the badhak is 3rd house . TO make the point clearer I would aquaint you to four kind of astrological triangles. Dharma trikona-Lagan ,5th & 9th houses. Artha trikona-2nd ,6th & 10th houses. Kama trikona-3rd, 7th& 11th houses Moksha trikona-4th ,8th & 12th houses. Dharma trikona are houses of rigteous deeds. lords of these houses are helpful in making life a success they may be called sadhakas. Houses in opposition to lagan , 5th & 9th are 7th .11th & 3rd forming kama trikona , if dharma helps kama or vasana ( lust) obstructs . for moveable signs 5th house & lords are best helpful and therefore the opposite 11 th house and its lord is badhak. For dual signs lagan and lagnesh are most helpful and therefore the opposite 7 th is badhak. For fixed signs 9th house and 9th lord are most helpful and thus not deterrent as mistaken by some others , therefore the opposite house 3 and its lord are the badhaks . Regards J.s.sandhu <!-- / message -->

Such posts are very helpful to everyone,especially to the learners of astrology and for refreshing the astro knowledge. sandhu ji is doing a yeoman service.I wish he continues.

Dear Shri ayush, Please confirm whether the birth time 19-24 hrs given by you was the time at the exact place of birth or the IST. If IST,correction is required to recast the chart

As stated earlier any yoga is to be first present in the rasi chart and depending on the nature of yoga(yogas are so many & different raja yogas related to education,finance,family,children etc,etc) the respective divisional charts may add strength,if the planet concerned is strong in that division with no afflictions. As your Rasi seems to show no such,any shown in amsa can not be taken as such. In spite of this for your information though there is a swapping of Jupiter and Mercury(In angle),Sapthama,causing a neecha bhanga for mercury which is afffliced by malefic aspects of Mars from Leo in Navamsa.This does not confer any yoga.

Rasi is the basic chart for looking into the yogas and then if the divisional charts also show signs of yoga,it adds strength.As regards your navamsa,there is neecha bhanga but no yoga.

Please refer a response posted by Ms.Anusha to a thread"I think birth time is not always right" by JoePits a couple of days ago where she has given various views & abuses on the time of birth.It is very critical especially at cusps even one goes by the most acceptable ayanamsa.So at cusps a few seconds difference in longitude of planet can make an obvious difference in navamsa.Here Mental calculations,unless meticulously done, will not help to arrive at a correct divisional chart,navamsa in your case. Between 6-33 Am and 6-36 Am(in little less than 3 mts),Navamsa lagna changed from Leo to Virgo as per Lahiri/Kp ayanamsa.If you feel that your birth time 6-36 Am is correct,then the navamsa Lagna in Virgo with Jupiter and Sun is correct while Mars is in Leo.

Dear madam Lakshmi, Kindly clarify regarding your time of birth.You have mentioned 12-10Am on 28/12/1980. Do you mean after Noon,12-10PM(ie; after 12-00 hrs noon) or after 12-00 midnight of 27/12/80(ie;00-10 hrs on 28/12/80). Best wishes

When two hearts are so intensely close & understand each other for some years now,irrespective of the age and wish to share the whole life as life partners with a courage,determination and"come what may "attitude to face life together,matching of horoscopes can be dispensed with and no dosha can affect such a strong bond but you both have to make sure of each other by taking a oath that you will be ever together, come what may.You both and your families have to discuss and take a positive decision without any reference gundalis and always worship the deity in whom you both have immense faith for protection from all ills.He will surely take care and bless you with a colourful life.There after you have to forget about gundalis and lead a life as it comes by the grace of the Almighty.
