  1. What is "Retrograde Motion"?

     

    Every so often, each planet (except the Sun and Moon) ceases its normal forward movement around the zodiac direct motion and appears to move backwards retrograde motion for a time. This occurs whenever the Earth passes up the other planet as they both orbit the Sun, similar to how a slower car appears to move backwards when you pass it at higher speed on the highway. After a time, the planet stops this reverse motion and resumes its normal, direct motion, again.

    What are "Stations"?

     

    As a planet slows down, preparing to go retrograde, at some point it is standing still against the zodiac before actually going into reverse gear. This "standing still" point is called a station in this case, the retrograde station because the planet is going retrograde). Because the planet is literally standing still at this position, sometimes for days, the energies of the planet are powerfully focused at this spot, practically burning a hole (so to speak) at that zodiacal position.

    The direct station is similar, except that now the planet is changing from retrograde back to direct motion. This is also a powerful zodiacal position (in my opinion, even stronger than the retrograde station

    What are Retrograde Zones and Cycles?

     

    For a given instance of a planet undergoing retrograde motion, the region of the zodiac between the direct and retrograde stations is a retrograde zone The importance of this zone is that the planet passes over each position in this zone not one, but 3 times, spaced out over a time period that can last for months. This can spell the difference between an influence that passes quickly, and one that lingers forever and exerts an overwhelming impact on your life.

    There are 4 points of interest in a planet's passage through this zone. The entrance is when the planet first crosses into the zone. The position of this entrance in the zodiac is the same as the position of the direct station which will occur later. (The direct station is before the retrograde station in the zodiac -- remember, the planet will be moving backwards!) The second point is the retrograde station itself, while the third is the direct station. The 4th and last point is the exit, when the planet moves forward past the retrograde station point and leaves the zone completely.

    The planet crosses each position in the zone for the first time between the entrance and the retrograde station -- I call this period the first pass. It then backs (retrogrades) over each position again during the second pass. The third and final pass is from direct station to the exit.

    A retrograde cycle is the process of the planet's passage through this zone and includes all 3 passes.

     

     

     

    How are these Cycles and Zones Interpreted?

     

    A retrograding planet is a sign from the universe to pay close attention to something. Instead of a planet passing quickly through your birth chart, it decides to linger awhile in one area so you "get the message" it has for you. Sometimes, this feels like it's marching in place on top of you with big, heavy army boots, but only if you're being very resistant to change. The sooner you make the shifts, the more painless the process.

    During the second, retrograding pass, this situation that the deeper you has initiated begins to mature and unfold. If you need to let go of something in your life, events happen to cause it to break or to wrest it from you. If you need to wake up to some lesson, events repeatedly show you how painful it can be to walk through life half asleep. By the direct station, the situation is usually intolerable -- something must change! This is often seen as some kind of "crisis situation" in your life. Just remember that "crisis" comes from a Greek word meaning "to choose" -- this is a time to make some serious decisions and take conscious responsibility for yourself.

    Assuming you come through the "crisis" in good shape, the final pass is a time to make the changes, create some new habits, start living at a new level. This is liberation at it's best, being set free not only from an intolerable situation, but also from the old you that's been holding you back from growth.

    What if my Natal Planet falls in a Zone?

     

    First advice Listen up That natal planet means something in your horoscope (by sign, house and aspects) and this retrograde cycle is a time to discover this meaning at a deeper level. The kinds of experiences that will bring you this insight are described by the nature of the planet performing the retrograde (see the thumbnail sketches on the Retrograde Zone page) and the house of your birthchart that it occupies.

    Also, be prepared for a long, drawn out process. Retrograde cycles have their own sense of timing and unfolding, and will not be rushed. Impatience like this only seems to distract us from learning our lessons, hence make the cycle more difficult to get through. Planets are very big, insistent critters -- they take their time and so should you.

    Approach a coming retrograde cycle with your eyes wide open. The sooner you grasp this message from your unconscious, the less force it will need to get your attention. You can save yourself a lot of grief by simply being aware.

    Finally, a retrograde zone is not only active in that one zodiac sign. Due to the way aspects work, those same degrees are active in all 12 signs, giving you 12 times the chance to experience this "growth opportunity" of a lifetime.

    You have given (on 12-05-2008) the following data intimating the days for which the planets remain stationary.

     

    Please enlighten us the source (Indian treatise) from where you have culled this data.

     

    None of these planets remain in exact stationary position for the days mentioned against them.

     

    What speed (motion / day) is considered for a planet to be stationary.

     

    Whether it is applied unifirmly to all the planets.

  3. Venus Retrograde

    * reconsiders before expressing love or affection

    * relates awkwardly to others

    * doubts the love others offer

    * can become obsessed in relationships

    * feels let down by the commitment level of others

    Venus involves pleasure, love, romance, relaxation, aesthetics, peaceful feelings, harmony, money, and values. Venus tends to work by attraction. Approximately every eighteen months or so, Venus slips into retrograde for about six weeks. While Venus is retrograde, you are more likely to find your ability to attract what you want restricted or inhibited. You could find yourself much more concerned with achieving or maintaining external beauty, your flow of ready cash, questioning your ideas of pleasure, aesthetics, or even revaluating your feelings about romantic relationships.

    Do you find yourself inhibited about seeking what you really want from your romantic partner? Does your ability to attract the money and attention you feel that you need seem to cause you problems? Is your natal Venus retrograde?

    A natal Venus retrograde can cause you difficulty achieving fulfillment or finding your right romantic partner. You may be more in love with your ideas about love than you are with any real person you know. In karmic terms, you need to complete a life lesson about giving and receiving love and affection. You are here to determine what is truly of value to you and learn about creating a balance of give and take in your romantic life. Your romantic dialogue has a tendency to be far too internal at times, causing you to inhibit the flow of good things into your life. You will have to be willing to experience loving and being loved in order to attract what you desire into your life and create the feelings of security you need.


  4. Below are some interpretations for retrograde planets found in the natal chart. With discernment, you may use these ideas as a basis for figuring out how the current retrogrades may "act" on the general public.

    Mercury Retrograde

    * reconsiders before speaking

    * lots of inner conversation and thoughts

    * expresses self better in writing

    * feels misunderstood

    Mercury involves mental processes and communication of all kinds. Exploring ideas, seeking knowledge, writing, public speaking, making contacts, even short trips and commerce fall into Mercury‘s domain. Mercury is retrograde at least three times each year, and is our most frequently retrograde planet. During this usually three week timeframe, misunderstandings increase, mail and email gets lost, messages are delayed or appear elsewhere, misdirection and frustration with miscommunications of all kinds tend to intensify. Odd ideas tend to occur as normal abilities and patterns of writing, learning, and speech become disrupted.

    For a few, this retrograde actually has the opposite effect. New ideas, new speaking or writing abilities are often revealed in folks whose natal Mercury is retrograde. Are you normally hesitant or afraid to speak out? Do you find yourself very concerned with how others will take your words or what will happen if you speak your mind? You few, may tend to get a kind of vacation from or improvements in both your usual internal and external dialogue.

    In Karmic terms, Mercury retrograde in your natal chart suggests that you may be dealing with old lessons about the negative consequences of uninhibited speech. Motives mean a lot to you. You could find yourself attracting more than your share of criticism or opposition to your ideas, but if you let that stop you from speaking your mind, you are essentially inhibiting yourself from communicating. You can learn to overcome your fears. Most other people are actually more concerned with how the world sees them than they are about what they think about you. Apply your curiosity, flexibility, and take an active interest in the welfare or interests of people around you. Half of your ability comes from listening! If speaking to groups of people makes you nervous, let your thoughts escape into the outside world by writing. Make small talk wherever possible about any topics of interest, while you boost your self confidence and begin to overcome your hesitance of expounding your personal views in public.


  5. A planet that is retrograde means that the planet was making an apparent backward motion at the time of birth. If a planet was retrograde at the time of birth, then that planet is notated in the natal horoscope with an Rx by the astrologer. Planets never move backwards, hence the term apparent. The Sun and Moon never retrograde. Many people watch the motion of current retrograde planets, especially Mercury.

    From an earth view, a planet only appears to move backwards for a given length of time. Refer to the section on Planet Motion for approximate retrograde periods. In the Ephemeris, the day that a planet begins this apparent motion is designated by an R or an Rx In order to determine the length of time, run your finger down the planet information column until you find a D. On this day the planet resumes it's "direct" motion again. Some astrologers put more emphasis on retrograde planets in the birth chart than others. I have found that they add an important depth to the overall interpretation.

    The energy of a retrograde planet is expressed more on an inner level Sometimes the individual has difficulty expressing the energy outwardly. Some part of that planets energy is held back. Retrograde planets often cause one to stop and reconsider the consequences, so that spontaneous expression is blocked in some way. At other times, the outward behavior becomes exaggerated in an attempt to reconcile the inner doubts. Here are some examples of how retrograde planets may manifest in a persons chart.

    Viewed in karmic terms, retrograde planets in your natal chart can indicate internal struggle regarding an unachieved goal or an unfinished life lesson or lessons. Generally, natal planets in retrograde tend to internalize their influences, allowing you to work on your character. Your Sun and your Moon are never retrograde. The closest the Moon comes is when it is Void of Course. This is a time when it is best to refrain from beginning anything that you wish to see come to completion.

    When your North and South Nodes are retrograde, you have a strong indication that these lessons have carried forward over several previous lifetimes.

  7. Retrograde Planets, Mercury Retrograde

     

    An apparent backward motion of the planets is called a "retrograde" motion. It occurs in several stages. At first the planet seems to stand still, then it backs up through the signs, stands still again, and then resumes its forward motion. The amount of time that a planet spends in retrograde motion depends on the planet's orbit, varying from about twenty-two days for nearby Mercury to about 160 days for distant Pluto.

    A popular misconception is that a retrograde planet signifies something unpleasant. A retrograde planet prolongs the influence of that planet in its sign and house of a horoscope. If that influence happens to be an unpleasant one, the prolonged unpleasantness will be blamed on that retrograde condition.

    When Mercury is retrograde, it is considered to be a time of problems with interaction, travel and even the simple basic workings of things. It is also thought that the general averse aspects of a retrograde planetary motion carry over into the lives of the people born under them as a part of their lifetime astrological chart.

    The Sun and Moon are never in retrograde motion.

    Three or four times a year, never on the same dates, Mercury loops Earthward (to our eye) in a retrograde cycle back over zodiacal territory. During this passage 3 and a half week transit, our attention moves towards unfinished business. Since all backward movement symbolizes a return to source, we can use these times to attend to our inner perceptions, and reconnect with the spiritual source of our thoughts. This introversion can bring about a critical purification process that can help us gain new insights based on prior knowledge.

    It's important to figure out how this transit affects the patterns in your life as they will repeat. I know some readers are not into retrograde, but it has its pitfalls whether you believe it nor not. With shifting reality, much doesn't work in general, but this transit can make things a bit more confusing, indecisive and difficult. To me Mercury Retrograde means Repetitions and Delays. Pay attention to details now, especially linked to transportation and communication. We also find mixed or missed messages. Plans change. Things are lost or forgotten. Decisions will be made and revisited. Don't forget that Mercury is the trickster who brings messages and learning lessons in round-about ways that we attract by synchronicity


  8. ASTROLOGY

     

    Retrograde Planets

     

    As all the planets are moving at different speeds, there will be times when a particular planet will appear from Earth that it is not moving at all, and at times that a planet is actually moving backwards when viewed against the backdrop of a fixed star. In such periods, the planet is said to be in retrograde motion.

    In the ephemeris, planets which are in retrograde are denoted by a R after the degree and minute designation.A retrograde planet may denote delayed development of factors relating to that planet rather than any negative influence as was suggested in ancient Astrology. A capital S alongside the planetary degree in the ephemeris stands for the word stationary and will occur when the planet is slowing down and has virtually stopped moving. The capital letter D is soemtimes used indicating that the palnet is in direct motion and is written when a planet changes from a backward direction or retrograde to a forward direction or direct.Perhaps the greatest impact of retrograde planets can be felt when the outer planets turn retrograde while forming a transit aspect to one of the natal planets.

    Retrograde planets are thought to be weak in their effect, which is true for the personal planets of Mercury, Venus and Mars but it is not so with the outer planets which stay Retrograde for up to six months.

    Mars Retrograde- Mars retrograde in a persons birth chart causes the person to be very frigid or to go to the extremes. Some have sex aversions. Mars retrograde six to eight days, of course, that is sixty to eighty years in a horoscope progression. During its slow moving period, two weeks before and after retrogression it indicates its effects mainly in females.

    Venus Retrograde- The effect of Venus retrograde is disastrous to a happy married life. As Venus slowly turns retrograde, the person gradually gets disinterested in sexual activities. Venus seems to work alike in all signs when retrograde. It affects men particularly.

    Mercury Retrograde- When Mercury goes retrograde, many of our everyday affairs ruled by Mercury are disrupted. When Mercury is retrograde, mental mistakes abound. Travel plans are often messed up. Misunderstandings with those in the family or at work occur. Those who have belief in Astrology will refrain from making any sort of contract when Mercury is retrograde.

    Jupiter Retrograde- Such persons often get success in other people's failures. They have the unique ability to succeed in projects that were abandoned by others. Such people revive sick companies and uncover hidden assets. In order to achieve their mental goal they prefer to bargain.

    Saturn Retrograde- Persons with Saturn Retrograde in their birth charts do not like to be known in public, they find security in intellectuals or spirituals. They easily yield to external influences. They appear shy, uneasy, introvert, lacking in self assertion or attempt to cover their lapse with the pretext of arrogance. They feel alone, isolated, separated from their friends and are seldom understood and very reserved.

  9. <TABLE class=post cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width="100%" border=0><TBODY><TR><TD class=row vAlign=top align=left width="100%">STUDY OF 7TH HOUSE AND NAVAMSHA

    7th house is much related to happiness, joy and otherwise impact on husband, in female horoscope, this house and Navamsha contributes a lot while deciding the general harmony in married life. We wish to give certain conditions related to 7th house and Navamsha, which can make you understand or know about the impact of it. Of course under a proper guidance of a teacher one can really understand the impact in total, but we are trying our best to provide you all this knowledge and the yoga which are found generally much near to accurate. Of course the partial aspect of good planet reduces the malefic impact and sleeping planet or owner of house gives less negative or positive result.In female horoscope if the 7th house be vacant or no planet is there, such situation known as strength less position and if it is without benefic aspect then it makes the female her self a coward and proves a disregard hooligan for her husband. When the 7th house is a moveable sign, then it indicates that either her husband will remain always be on move or in journey or will live away from home. If Mercury and Saturn are placed in the 7th house, then it gives her a great shock as her husband may have some deficiency in making relations. If the Sun (alone) occupies the 7th house, then it gives health trouble to husband or separation or she use to abandoned her husband or by her husband. If Mars is in the 7th house then it is always better for the female to take special care of matching horoscope before marriage as it can give her widowhood. But if husband also have such placement then they use to have tense relation but blessing of marriage always remains with her.If Saturn is in the 7th house, she lives to an old age either remaining unmarried or gets much late marriage. In such cases out of cast early marriage are much seen and such marriages always ends in separation.If a benefic planet is occupying the 7th house then the female will enjoy marital happiness and will be chaste.If the Mars is placed in the Navamsha of Venus and Venus is in the Navamsha of Mars and both are together in Main Horoscope, then such female use to remain uncontrolled and bring much shock to whole family (due to her involvement with others). If in this yoga the Moon be in the 7th the female concerned enters into wrong connections due to her husband.If the 7th house or the Navamsha both are having Aries or Scorpio sign, then the husband use to have other women in his life and also use to have ill-tempered nature. If she is born in Virgo or Gemini Navamsha of Mercury, her husband will be very learned and clever. If she is born in Navamsha of Sagittarius or Pisces, her husband will be of great merit and will have all possessions under his control. If she is born in Navamsha of Taurus , her husband will be fortunate, very good looking and will be liked by women. If she is born in Navamsha of Capricorn or Aquarius, her husband will be like old man. If she is born in Navamsha of Leo, her husband will be exceedingly soft in his disposition and will be very hard working.

    Dear All,

     

    I do not have much knowldedge of Divisional charts. Can some one make a good posting like that of Retrograde planets? The topics should include how to make D charts, how to analyse them individually, what each of the D charts is used for? Any real life exaples of good predictions obtained by using D charts. It will help all of us here. Thanking you,

    Dear Astros,

     

    I found the following indicators that point towards foreign travel/immigration in a horoscope. Kindly comment/ add to my knowledge base. How do you assess whether to look at foregn travel or immigration? Also, what indicates unsuccessful journeys?

     

    1. Lagna/Lagna lord in a moveable sign/dual signs: if the lagna and lagna lord both are in moveable signs or dual signs then it would indicate foreign travel. Lagna indicates self so when the sign which indicates self and the lord of that sign are in moveable or dual signs which indicates movement it can mean foreign travel for the person.<O:P style="FONT-FAMILY: arial"></O:P>

    <O:P></O:P>

    2. 7th house is the house of foreign country and so is 12th house. 9th house indicates foreign travel. So if the lagna or lagna lord makes a connection with the 7th house/7th lord, 9th house, 9th lord or 12th house/12th lord it can mean foreign travel. The connections can be conjunction, aspect, mutual exchange, or one lord placed in another's house. <O:P></O:P>

    <O:P></O:P>

    3. Lagna/lagna lord makes connection with Rahu. Rahu again indicates foreign country so it's being placed in lagna or lagna lord in conjunction, mutual aspect with Rahu can mean foreign travel. <O:P></O:P>

    <O:P></O:P>

    4. 4th house signifies home so 4th house/lord in connection (conjunction/mutual aspect/mutual exchange/aspect) with 7th/7th lord, 9th/9th lord or 12th/12th lord can mean foreign travel. <O:P></O:P>

    <O:P></O:P>

    5. 4th house is the significator of home so natural malefics (Sun. Mars, Rahu, Ketu, Saturn) in the 4th house will take a person away from home. Malefic in the 4th house indicates unhappiness from home so it will take him away from home to give him unhappiness as a result of staying away from home.<O:P></O:P>

    <O:P></O:P>

    6. Same rule applies to the 2nd house of family. i.e malefics (Saturn, Mars, Rahu, Ketu, Sun) in the 2nd house will result in the person leaving his family. Malefic in the 2nd house has to make the person unhappy in regard to family matters so it will take him away from family to suffer detachment from family. <O:P></O:P>

    <O:P></O:P>

    The last 2 points will give foreign travel if some of the other points indicating foreign travel are there. Otherwise the person will stay at home suffer due to the effects of the malefic. <O:P></O:P>

    <O:P></O:P>

    If 2 of the first 4 points are fulfilled there are strong chances of foreign travel otherwise there is a weak chance. <O:P></O:P>

    <O:P></O:P>

    The dasha of 7th, 9th or 12th lord, or of planets connected (mutual aspect, conjunction, mutual exchange, aspect) with 7th house/lord, 9th house/lord, 12th house/lord indicates foreign travel. Dasha of Rahu also indicates foreign travel as rahu is a significator of foreign country. Dasha of Jupiter can also indicate foreign travel as Jupiter is the 9th and 12th sign (9th and 12th houses are foreign travel) of the Kaalpurush zodiac (natural zodiac).

    Another example of retro planet exact 7 from sun.

    Q. Can one spot a retrograde planet in a horoscope without it being specifically mentioned?

    A. Since Mercury and Venus are always quite close to the Sun (as viewed from the earth) it is difficult to know from the chart alone when they are retrograde. But the outré planets are definitely retrograde when they are in the 6th, 7th or 8th house from the Sun. Sometimes they are retrograde even when they are in the 5th or 9th house from the Sun, but not always.

    Dear Readers,

     

    In the begining of the thread you found the question & answer as following.

     

    Q. Can one spot a retrograde planet in a horoscope without it being specifically mentioned?

    A. Since Mercury and Venus are always quite close to the Sun (as viewed from the earth) it is difficult to know from the chart alone when they are retrograde. But the outré planets are definitely retrograde when they are in the 6th, 7th or 8th house from the Sun. Sometimes they are retrograde even when they are in the 5th or 9th house from the Sun, but not always.

     

     

    In my opnion ,culled out from books is :

     

    It is not the sign /house position of the planet with respect of the sign / house of the Sun to make outer planets retrograde, but they are retrograde & direct when their distance attains specific degrees from that of the Sun.

     

    For example Mars becomes retrograde when its distance from that of the Sun is 228 degrees & direct when it is 132 degrees.

     

    Similarly for Satrun when the said degrees are 251 & 109. And for Jupiter the said degrees are 245 & 115.

     

    Retrogration arc of Mars, Jupiter & Saturn are : 16, 10 & 7 respectively. Their days of retrogrations are also constant.

  14. Dear mr kumar.

     

    Jupiter Retrograde- Such persons often get success in other people's failures. They have the unique ability to succeed in projects that were abandoned by others. Such people revive sick companies and uncover hidden assets. In order to achieve their mental goal they prefer to bargain.

     

    Jupiter Retrograde

    * has doubts about what they deserve and so ...

    * finds it easy to settle for crumbs

    * feels superior in some way inside

    * abundance is felt on the inside

    * looks inside for answers to religious questions

    Jupiter represents the principles of expansion, gambling, speculation, luck, opportunities, optimism, abundance, travel, higher education, teaching, religion and philosophy. Approximately four months a year, this planet slips into retrograde. When it does, you are likely to see its influence roll through your life and society around you. Plans have a tendency to implode. Jupiter retrograde influences us internally to look within to seek new meanings. You may find you can best use these opportunities to revaluate your life and reach new levels of awareness and understanding.

    If Jupiter is retrograde in your natal chart, you have a very rich internal life. You actually make your own luck. Abundance is felt within as you search the world looking to discover truth and develop a broader philosophy of life and living. At the same time, you may feel hesitant about involving yourself to deeply in others affairs or sharing your views out of a concern for being thought so different that you may be cast out by public opinion. Speculations may not bring you all the external rewards you seek, but each time you take a chance, your adventures allow you to gain from a wide variety of experiences. You must remain open and honest with yourself in order to expand your spirituality and allow your inner voice to guide you.

  15. Dear VK JI,

     

    once again you have raised a very relevant Query based on the light of your understanding and knowledge of astrology , my plea once again remains the same ,and as such i have not modified my opinion but am stating the same, you are well aware of the fact that a single planet on its own cannot destroy all significations even if its combust because of other complexties like placement,aspect,relationships etc, what i mean to say is you dont loose the full working of a hand even if you loose a finger partially or wholly. I may be wrong in belief but thats what my guru has told me, unfortunately i have lost all my data due to a computer crash as such i cannot cite an example as on date.

     

    Regards

     

    J.s.sandhu

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Dear Sandhu ji & readers,

     

    I do not agree even with the now modified conclusion (dated 4the December, 2008) of Sh Sandhu ji, that :

     

    "....if the planet is weak and combust then it denies its significations ,which may be any one of the total or all of them in extreme cases."

     

    Even in extreme cases- what so ever- all the significances of a combust & worst afflicted planet can not be lost.

     

    CAN ANY BODY CITE ANY HOROSCOPE WHERE A NATIVE HAS LOST ALL THE SIGNIFICANCES OF ANY PLANET- EVEN IF THE PLANET IS FULLY COMBUST AND THE WORST AFFLICTED, or EVEN OTHERWISE PLACED.

     

     

    The word "ALL" must be very very carefully used in predictions. I have not comne accross any dictium in any treatise where the word "ALL" has been used, especiallly to convey "total" of "full" or 100 %.

     

    In some treatises the word "death" has been used as the result / effect. But if one carefully reads the meaning of "death" mentioned therein, there are 10 stages / effects which are death-like. The author never means that the effect shall be only "death", meaning end of life.

    Astrology of Mental Health - by Sandy L. Crowther CVA

     

    <TABLE style="WIDTH: 66%" align=center><TBODY><TR><TD class=style63>First, familiarize yourself with the planets, houses, and signs that address anxiety, depression, and overall mental health states in a natal chart, affecting long term and short term mental states, and the differences between brief versus prolonged episodic instability. The short-term problems

    are exposed by the malefic transit influences over significant weak natal planets. Long term mental and emotional instability issues are shown by weakness of and/or affliction to significant natal planets, as listed below.

    By understanding through case studies, what areas of the natal chart are weak with respect to mental health both in the natal chart and in transit, we can then see more clearly the complex but contributing long term or short term factors leading to the destabilization of mental health. By determining the activations and timing factors through observing the transits, main periods, and bhuktis in effect, that may trigger an alert to upcoming tensions, we can prepare our clients, our friends, and/or ourselves, for possible trying times with respect to mental and/or emotional instability or difficulty. By studying the Panchamsa (D-V), we can further assess planetary strengths and weaknesses.

    Significators of Psychiatric Problems:

    1. Significant Planets: Significator of the mind is the Moon. Mercury rules nerves and communication capabilities controlled by the brain.

    2. Significant Houses: The fourth and the fifth.

    3. Significant Signs:Cancer and Leo. Natal afflictions to the significator planets, houses, and signs can cause the psychiatric difficulties and emotional problems to be active for long durations, where transit afflictions can relate to short-term disturbances.

    4. Divisional Chart for Depression: Divisional fifth – Panchamsa.

    Emotional Health Significators:

    Depression: the fifth house

    Emotional Peace: the fifth and Moon

    Mental Peace: the fourth and Moon

    Nervous Control: the sixth and Mercury

    General Karaka (significator) for the fifth: Jupiter

    General Karaka (significator) for the fourth: Moon and Venus

    Points to Remember:

    Mercury, ruling the analytical abilities, when badly placed or under the severe affliction of the most malefic planet equal bhava madhya (midpoint), causes unmanageable anxiety leading to depression, nervous breakdowns, hypertension, and insomnia. Happiness, health, and general disposition are ruled by the first house, and are additionally factored in.

    The third house and Mercury rule mental growth, the third house and Mars rule initiatives, the fourth house rules the power of basic comprehension,

    and the fifth house rules intelligence, emotional peace of mind, and depression. (Although beyond the scope of this discussion, severe natal

    weakness and/or affliction of the planets connected with the third, the fourth, and the fifth houses, along with both the Moon and Mercury, and

    without any contact of benefic offsetting influences, can result in severe mental handicaps, such as mental retardation.)

    The overall natal weakness and/or affliction of the planets connected with the third, the fourth, and the fifth houses, and/or both the Moon and

    Mercury, may result in mental deficiencies for the native, inabilities to cope, and consequently bring upon the native anything from anxiety and

    depression, to full blown manic episodes, depending upon the severity of affliction and weakness, and the contributing nature of any influential

    contacts. Both the sixth house and Mercury rule nervous control, which also factors into consideration when assessing determinants for anxiety.

    For Divisional Analysis we study:

     

     

    1. The strength of the lord of the ascendant for the appropriate divisional,

    2. The Moon,

    3. The significator, (Jupiter for the divisional fifth)

    4. And the lord(s) of the particular significant/relevant houses in the rashi chart.

    Note: Diagnosing states of Mental Health can be a lengthy process for Professionals in the medical field, such as Psychiatrists and Psychologists,

    as many aspects of the behavior criteria, background, and motivational aspects of the patient must be thoroughly evaluated for appropriate medical

    diagnosis. Often times the psychiatric medical diagnosis is followed by lengthy and diversified experimentation in medication, with the physician

    searching for the appropriate medicinal prescriptive relief for that particular patient, while minimizing side effects. Often times these prescription intentions are met with unsuccessful results when it comes to finding the magic pill for behavior modification or relief, because mental and emotional states of mind are based on so many internal and external personal experiences, many of which remain a mystery to all but the patient.

    Astrologer’s encounters similar experiences and investigations in their search, only we base our evaluation on the horoscope. Every individual

    horoscope is a woven pattern of unique energy at play, and this energy must be thoroughly synthesized and integrated before a conclusion can be drawn, especially with respect to something as delicate as states of mental health. The prescriptions we recommend are remedial measures with propitiation of the malefics. Although beyond the scope of this article, I advise all astrologers to become very familiar with remedial measures, as often times they become the saving grace for those clients experiencing depression, anxiety, and mood disorders.

     

    Questions & Answers:

     

    It is really a very good article given on mental health. I would like to know... does lagna/lagna lord play any role in mental health?

     

    Thanks for you kind words.

    Yes. Condition of lagna and lagna lord certainly play a role in mental health. Please see under “Points to Remember”, where I stated (albeit briefly) that “Happiness, health, and general disposition are ruled by the first house.” Then in the last paragraph, where I stated “Every individual horoscope is a woven pattern of unique energy at play, and this energy must be thoroughly synthesized and integrated before a conclusion can be drawn, especially with respect to something as delicate as states of mental health.”

    To elaborate on the above a bit, the condition of the first house, its strength, occupants, aspects, and it’s lord/karaka are all very important for determining the tone and nature of the personality in general. So to look at the primary significations for a person’s general, physical, and emotional health is certainly mandatory and a big part of the astrological synthesizing process, and synthesizing and integrating the entire chart is key. This is often not an easy task. We ALL have bad days – some people just have bad days more frequently than others, some are pre-disposed to consistent emotional and/or mental turmoil, while other personality types are better equipped for a pre-disposition for taking things in stride.

    For example, Cancer’s may experience ups and down more frequently on account of being ruled by the fast moving Moon, karaka for emotions and mental peace. But analysis by planetary piecemeal without synthesis will never give the entire picture, because we need a full evaluation of the entire chart picture, and to get that, we need to include all the influences, and then we are in a position to better determine what influences appear to pre-dominate. That includes a complete comprehension of the planetary weaknesses present in the chart – as well as the afflictions – as both cause difficulty.

    I have seen charts with no natal nodal afflictions, no afflictions to houses, and no planetary afflictions – but the client was consistently having a severe impairment to his long-term coping mechanisms because of multiple planetary weakness, resulting in a pre-disposition to excesses. He was medically diagnosed with ADHD. His lagna was Sagittarius, Jupiter was combust, Moon was weak, as was Mercury.

    On the other hand, we also need to consider that when a benefic weak planet is well-placed, un-afflicted, and aspects its own MT house or is aspected by benefics, it still retains some capacity for beneficence…the question then becomes how much power does it retain? So a careful weighing and evaluation of all planetary influences, may just result in a weakened planet being the most influential planet in the chart….It happens…

    So isn’t Jyotish the most wonderful exercise in mental aerobics we have on the planet?

  17. Combust Planets

     

    <CENTER></CENTER><HR>

     

    <CENTER>by Prof. P S Sastri </CENTER>

    THE problem of combustion (astangata) has given rise to varied doubts and misinterpretations. For calculating longevity, Venus and Saturn are not subject to combustion. A faulty text of Satya Samhita excludes even Mercury.

    It is generally taken for granted that combustion varies from six degrees to seventy degrees to seventy degrees of the Sun. Some take the orb to be twelve degrees only while a few do not go beyond eight degrees. Does a combust planet become always weak and malefic? Here, we have also to note whether the planet concerned is head of the Sun or behind the Sun. Next we should note the permanent and temporary relationship of a planet to the Sun. It is enough to take six to eight degrees for a separating conjunction, and eight (or even twelve) degrees for an applying one. The ownerships and placement of the planet with the Sun should not be ignored.

    The conjunction of the two luminaries appears around the new Moon day. It was a day fixed by Lord Krishna for the commencement of the Mahabharata war. The conjunction of these two is a critical one. It denies or restricts the breadth of outlook and adjustability. The interests are determined by the house where it takes place. If Mercury or Venus joins these the balance of mind may be upset slightly. Stubbornness, emotionalism, aloofness and repression can appear. If it is the 2nd or the 12th house, eye-sight is affected. If it is in the first, the health is delicate.

    The first chart is that of Dr. S Radhakrishnan. The Sun is in his own in the 12th with the Moon. For the luminaries we may have to take 12 or 7 degrees. Here these two are slightly away by fourteen and a half degrees. They are not aspected by any. His eye-sight was affected. A certain rigidity of outlook and an inability to adapt himself to his environment was evident in his life. The other malefic features did not appear as the Sun is in his own sign, though debilitated in Navamsa. But here he is ahead of the Moon.

    The Sun and Mercury are never away beyond 28 degrees. The conjunction of these two is frequent. Our ancient authorities praise this as Budha-Aditya Yoga. When Mercury is left along he can upset mental stability. But a close conjunction of Mercury with the Sun eclipses mental faculties related to business and literary abilities. The other activities will flourish.

    In the second chart the Sun and Mercury are within 7 degrees in the 10th house. Mercury is exalted in Rasi and debilitated in Amsa. It is the horoscope of India's greatest Engineer, Sir M Visvesvaraya. In the third chart this conjunction is in Lagna, Mercury getting exalted in Amsa. He is a very astute diplomat and administrator, a trusted aide of late Mrs. Gandhi and of Mr. Rajiv Gandhi. The Sun is behind Mercury in both. Here is a loss of flexibility, even of impartiality because of this. The feelings disturb the clarity of the Mind. In the fourth chart the same conjunction is in the same sign, Virgo. Here it is the second house. The Sun is ahead of Mercury and is afflicted by retrograde Saturn. This lady was denied marriage. In all these cases the animal nature is subdued by intellect. The great European philosopher Kant had combust Mercury. The outlook was practical and worldly. In the fifth chart the Sun is ahead by more than 32 degrees. Still it made this lady stubborn and self-willed. Probably Saturn's aspect on Lagna and Venus' aspect on Mercury deprived her of a happy married life. She is now seeking a divorce.

    Venus is always within 48 degrees of the Sun. Yet combust Venus gives rise to artistic pursuits, medical education and the like. President Heidenburg and Annie Besant had combust Venus. This conjunction is not favourable for marriage. The sixth chart shows a close conjunction. Inheriting huge property he lost everything before he was twenty-five. Lord of 9 and 11 are in the 8th. Combust Venus denies a happy married life.

    The Sun and Mars are natural friends. The Sun is exalted in the sign of Mars. But the exaltation of Mars in a sign of Saturn does not augur well for a combust Mars. Health gets disturbed. Accidents are possible. The native works very hard. Depending on the sign and the house, combust Mars can give opposite results. The seventh chart shows a close conjunction in the 8th house. The lord of Lagna (Mars) is with the 10th lord (Sun) in the 8th. In Amsa, Mars is exalted and he is in advance of the Sun. This lady braved many sorrows, calamities and restrictions, and ultimately she returned to power as the Prime Minister of Pakistan. Can she live peacefully and be successful head of the government? The aspect (not exact) of retrograde Saturn on combust Mars is ominous.

    Combust Jupiter is quite beneficial. He makes the native ambitious, religious, philosophical; literary and other activities play a major role. It is a highly benevolent combustion. The 8th chart is that of Chembai Vaidyanatha Bhagavatar. The Sun is in his own sign in Lagna in close conjunction with Jupiter and Ketu, though he is ahead of both. The aspect of Mars from the 10th has aggravated the benefic qualities to make him a celebrated musician. Venus in Lagna gave a helping hand as well. If Rahu were with Jupiter, the result would have been disastrous. In the 9th chart eclipsed Jupiter made him heir to fabulous property all of a sudden. It is Saturn, lord of the combust sign, that is now giving the desired results.

    How does combust Saturn work? The moola-trikona and signs of exaltation of the Sun and Saturn are exactly in opposite signs. But the opposite signs have great similarities. Combust Saturn confers respect and material success. One becomes a self-made man. The conjunction can also make one secretive. A strong combust Saturn makes one place duty above everything else. The native may become egocentric. The tenth chart is that of Mr Jyoti Basu. There is no exact conjunction of the Sun and Saturn. But it is the be ginning of Saturn's major period that made him successful at last. In Amsa both the Sun and Saturn are exalted. In the eleventh chart the Sun in the 2nd in his own house is behind Saturn. He is a good enterprising businessman. Life has been hard on him and he is now getting out of the woods. Retrograde Jupiter's major period will see him through.

    There remain the extra-saturnine planets. We plead for the inclusion of Uranus and Neptune in our system. As the great Varahamihira said: "The Ionians are Mlecchas. But this science of Astrology was nourished by them. They are being respected like our seers. Then what can we say about a Dvija who is an astrologer (daiva-vid).

    Combust Uranus works both ways. The native can be rebellious, perverse and obstinate. A scientific or a literary career is possible. Changes are sudden and unexpected. One seeks his own career and his own way of life. There is great talent. Examples are P B Shelly, Louis Pasteur, Lewis Carroll, Lord Salisbury and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Uranus has great similarities with Mercury, Saturn and Mars. This can make us rethink about the natural relationship between the planets. At least we are skeptical about the Buddhist Satyakirti's clarification of friends, foes, and neutrals among the planets. A close reconciliation of the views of Yavaneswara with those of Satyakirti is very necessary at least in the last decature of this century. Uranus rules Aquarius, is exalted in Gemini and has his moola-trikona in Gemini or in Libra.

    Combust Neptune is as good as Jupiter as both rule Pisces. As against the Western theoreticians we hold that Neptune is a benefic, controlling the spiritual, philosophic and religious activities. Also he rules over drugs and intoxicants, which are a part of Jupiter's significations also. Combust Neptune gives better results of a favourable nature than combust Jupiter.

    Our study shows that combust Venus, Mars and Uranus are to be apprehended. Combust Saturn puts a man on trial like combust Moon. Combust Neptune appears in the charts of Edison, George IV, Richard Cromwell, Alfonsa of Spain and the Crown Prince of Germany. Any combust planet is not bad. Same are favourable. It is for the scholars to advise us about our findings.

  18. Dear sunder,

     

    I am back after a week or so, my pc crashed as such had to buy a new one.

     

    Regards

     

    J.s.sandhu

     

     

     

    Thanks Sandhuji,

    Thanks for your prompt reply.

    Now to your questions...

     

    Two questions for you.

    How well do you get along with your Father and at work place ?

    To tell the truth my relation with my father is not all that good. I do not have much respect because I also hold a resentment towards him but I have lots of sympathy for him. Right now I am unemployed and am looking out for a job. But I am quite qualified and experienced.

     

    Is your profession related to medicine & treatment ?

    I am a sales manager.

     

    Kindly study my chart and guide me. I need some good advices in life now.

    You can get all the relevant details HERE

     

    Will retrogate saturn in the tenth at three degrees give ninth house effect?

    You can also reply back to my email id: sunder.rangarajan@gmail.com

     

    Also do all the Naadi predictions come true? My experiences with Naadi has been bad so far.

     

    Regards,

    Sunder.


  19. Dear VK ji.

     

    Thanks for the reply, i agree with you partially for i still say that if the planet is weak and combust then it denies its significations ,which may be any one of the total or all of them in extreme cases.

     

     

    Regards

     

    J.ssandhu

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Dear Sandhu ji,

     

    "Vasist Samhita" (47/29) clarifies the issue -"the significations ruled by them do not even take birth" - raised in this thread.

     

    The verse is interpretted like this:

     

    "A deblitated planet or a planet situated in (bitter) enemy's sign, and if lost in planetary fight or combust; and is situted in ascendent, then, it is not capable to give any type of result. And also is unable to give any result if (such a planet) is aspected by enemy (bitter)"

     

    Please note the emphasis is that the such planet is in ascendent.

     

    Please note that in your exampled case the such planets are in ascendent.

     

    So I again point out to my readers that please do not get frightened if any planet is combust in your horoscope & also is weak. Be sure that you shall not be devoid of all the significances of that planet in your life time.

  21. Dear VK ji,

     

    The source of my article is Your astrologer.net, Once again you are concentrating on latter part of the sentence , which says that significations dont even take birth. While The complete sentence is That planet if planet is combust and weak on another accounts also , it does not let its significations take birth. Its not such a dreadful statement as made out to be.

     

    For your reference i post this link of a chart where majority of planets are under the influence of the sun and thus combust, will like to have your inputs on this. pLease put your inputs on the following chart in the link provided.

    Dear Sandhu ji,

    THanks. It is nice to have your reply.

    My purpose to comment on your thread was that the novice astrologers / readers may not get frightened to read what you have said in the thread.

    If such a planet is weak on other accounts too, the significations ruled by them “do not even take birth”

    The words specifically stating that “DO NOT EVEN TAKE BIRTH” – is really frightening to them. I agree with you in most of the arguments & logic put forward therein, but raised certain clarifications / information from you which is still not provided.

    Saravali quoted by you has only once refers to “Combustion”.

    No doubt that combust planet is termed as weakest in calculating strength but that never means that significations ruled by them do not even take birth.

    Regarding Mercury you have supported argument which also agrees that there are exceptions in case of Mercury. Then, why this logic is not even partially applied to other planets, is left for the prudence of the readers.

    May please log on to :

     

    http://www.srigaruda.com/wordpress/wp-content/astangata-asta.pdf

    for more details on combustion.

    Indecently I may point out that Sh Vivekanada Swami had both Venus & Mercury combust. True these are not very very weak other wise. But we all know he was blessed in respect of significations of both Venus & Mercury.

    Your next support is from Wikipedia. I agree with most of the logics therein but see the revised degrees of orbs of combustion in the above site.

    ALL OF US KNOW THAT THE ORBS MENTIONED IN THE WIKIPEDIA AND IN OTHER BOOKS ARE NOT APPLICANBLE. ONE HAS TO REFER PANCHANGA TO FIND OUT EXACT TIME & DATE OF COMBUSTION. THIS IS BECAUSE ONE HAS TO CONSIDER DECLINATION OF THE PLANETS AS WELL AS GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATION (LATTITUDE & LONGITUDE) OF THE VIEWER.

    Now regarding elections (MUHURT):

    Agreed that combust Moon is not welcomed in “GOOD” elections. But is used in Shradhas (donations to Pitras) etc. & in inauspicious Muhurtas. I may like to refrain on debate I on this topic as inauspicious elections are not divulged – as per ethical code.

    You have not clarified about the source of the orbs (one or two degrees) mentioned in your thread.

    Now for readers :

    Please do not get frightened if any planet is combust in your horoscope & also is weak. Be sure that you shall not be devoid of all the significances of that planet in your life time.

  22. COMBUST MERCURY: " When Mercury is combust the individual experiences feelings of vulnerability when making requests. The self is identified with the function of speech and feels hurt and rejected when his requests are slighted or denied. The ego is fearful of having its request denied and therefore feeling rejected on a personal level. Even legitimate requests such as asking for a well-deserved raise, requesting from loved ones and returning an item to a store become difficult. After some time the individual feels taken advantage of and unfulfilled at which time anger and resentment set in. They are generally only able to communicate their desires and needs more overtly through hints, or in a joking manner. Combust Mercury presents the most trouble in personal relationships where a clear communication of needs and desires is important for maintaining harmony and in business affairs where money must be asked for. In essence, when Mercury is combust the native is angry because they are unable to maintain a fair exchange with others.

    Generally the issues revolving around a combust Mercury develop in this lifetime when the native, as a child, felt rejected when making requests for things from the father, and the father answering something like this, "What do you want that for, its stupid, a waste of money, etc."


  23. 'INAUSPICIOUS TIME OF OATH BY THE NEXT U S PRESIDENT – a debate'

    The next US President shall take oath on 20th January, 2009 – which is observed as inauspicious time as per Vedic / Indian system of electional (Muhurt) astrology. Discussion herein is based on Indian system (Nirayana - Sidereal system) of astrology.

    The oath is generally taken around mid-day on 20th January when according to Indian system of astrology, Aries 21º shall be rising, with Moon in 8th house (6º 15´ - Scorpio, Anuradha asterism). While Jupiter (9º 33´ – combust), Mercury ( 6º 38´– is combust & retrograde) and Rahu are with the Sun (6º 49´) are in the 10th house. Mars lord of ascendant and 8th is in 9th house. There is exchange between 5th lord Sun and 10th lord Saturn, while the latter is in 5th house. Venus is in 11th house. Exact time of oath taking and the astro details of the oath taker are not known, therefore divisional charts and beneficence of the time for the individual are not discussed herein.

    However it is essential, rather fundamental, that the election time is universally auspicious with co-occurrence of Muhurt Yogas (special electional combinations) and Panchanga Shuddhi (purified ephemeris time); in addition to beneficial time in respect of transits of planets & Dasha (Hindu progressions), to the individual taking oath. The day is Tuesday – considered malefic for taking oath / coronation; and certainly before mid-day. The 10th Tithi, is beneficial being Poorna, but the Moon is waning (Dark Half - Krishan Paksha), and thus weak. Further Dark Half (Krishan Paksha) in general not augurs expansions / developements. Anuradha asterism, in general, is held as beneficial for oath ceremony but the Tara Bala (stellar strength) & favourable transit for the individual is to be examined with respect to the person taking oath. Vishti Karan (Bhadra) is universally held as the most inauspicious for such ceremonies; and it gets further ferocious with concurrence of Tuesday- shall certain to have adverse effects. Presence of inauspicious "Shula Yoga" further adds to inauspiciousness. Thus four out the five elements of Hindu Panchanga (ephemeris) four are not favourable.

    There is no beneficial Special Muhurt Yoga (special electional combinations) present on 20th January, 2009 for auguring the said time as universally auspicious. Combination of 10th Tithi and Tuesday makes “Karkacha Yoga” – an adverse Yoga. Concurrence of Tuesday and Anuradha asterism makes “Kuyoga” held as malefic. The Moon shall be in 24th asterism from that of the transiting Sun, causing “Upgraha Dosha” – adverse for especially for marriage, travel and house related elections. Thus there is no assistance from any Special Muhurt Yogas, considered essential for a beneficial election.

    In the election chart, the Moon is in 8th house – held as highly prohibited for initiating any beneficial activity. It causes adverse instability in the mind of the doer. Though its debilitation effects in 8th house gets cancelled/ nullified to some extent, but shall have adverse effects on homes / houses, transport system and public in general of the country, with regards to their damage / destruction / losses. Retrograde & combust Mercury may cause severe adverse effects on communication systems, army, Government employees and servants. As per old Western school of thought in astrology, the Mercury being Cazimi, shall have beneficial effects. But Most of the modern followers do not agree with this old thought. Difference in their longitude is 0º 11´ 38˝, but some savior is that their declinations are different. Retrograde planet especially Mercury is held by Western astrologers as certainly unfavourable in important elections. Lord of luck (9th house lord) Jupiter, is combust and in the same Navamsha with the Sun; being functional malefic for Aries ascendant, may cause instability & disrepute to the ruler. Retrograde Saturn may breed some new unusual and unpleasant steps in diplomacy & governance; some of which shall be withdrawn at latter stages. Income, trade, wealth of the country shall certainly expand and flourish. Thus election chart does not augurs towards beneficence.

    The detailed analysis can only be made after knowing the exact time of the taking oath; but the above effects can be mitigated to some lessor extent. From 12 hrs 0 min to 12 hrs 38 min ( 18h 0 m to 18 h 39 m GMT) 'Abhijin Muhurt' prevails, which has immense power to reduce / annihilate adverse effects – as per Vedic astrology. Further Mars as lord of the ascendant in 9th house is another beneficial aspect in the election chart, but its sign lord Jupiter being cobust shall take away most of its beneficence. But in general the said time is not observed as auspicious for taking oath by the head of state of the most powerful country.

    The purpose of this article is to trigger an academic discussion among the electional astrologers to examine the suitability of the oath time and possibility of recommending another suitable time, after thorough debate, getting benefits from the Vedic / Indian electional astrology which has withstood test of time.The discussion here is purely on academic basis. Adverse effects of the Moon in 8th house and retrograde Mercury in the electional chart, are also well accepted by electional astrologers following western system of astrology.

  24. Dear VK shiridhar ji,

     

    If you observe the highlighted line you will see that it states that if a planet apart from being combust is weak on other accounts also then only the denial takes place,more so it may mean denial of any of significations of the planet , take moon , moon means mother and mind, now the native can be simpelton or the native can be devoid of motherly love.

     

    If such a planet is weak on other accounts too, the significations ruled by them do not even take birth. "

     

     

    Moon in the Twelfth House<O:P> </O:P>

    Will be lazy and devoid of wealth. Will be an outcast. Will have to<O:P> face a lot of defeats. Will live in foreign lands. Mother's health<O:P> may be affected.<O:P> </O:P>

    </O:P></O:P>

    A combust Moon is to be avoided in all good Jyotish election charts. A planet within one degree from the Sun is said to the most powerless. In addition to adverse effects in the natal astrology, a combust planet is too weak to render beneficial effects during its favorable transits to the natal position.( Source Wikpedia)

     

    Furthermore, the Moon is combust two days out of every lunar month, although the period of the New Moon, when the Moon is in this condition, has always been regarded as a perilous one astrologically( Source Wikpedia)

     

    Combustion" occurs when the unassisted view of a planet from the earth is obscured by the light of the sun.

    The Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn become combust, during their direct motion, when their longitudinal arc is 12, 17, 14, 11, 10 & 16 degrees respectively from the Sun on either side. During retrograde motions Mercury and Venus become combust when the said arc is 12 & 8 degrees respectively. Exact longitudinal arc depends upon declination of the Sun and the concerned planet. Daily ephemeredes do indicate the time and date of start and end the combustion of different planets as seen from a specific place on the earth. The Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn remain combust for 2, 118, 11 to 20, 28, 53 and 57 days approximately during their direct motion and during retrograde motion Mercury and Venus remain combust for 21 to 33 and 5 days respectively. Mars Jupiter and Saturn do not combust when in their retrograde motion. It is astronomically termed as “heliacal setting”.

    In Vedic / Hindu system of astrology, a planet is said to be devoid of its strength when in combustion. This astronomical phenomenon weakens a planet most adversely. However Mercury is said to be extremely weak if it is in the same sign as the Sun in Navamsa divisional chart (the Navamsa is a harmonic chart which divides each sign into 9 parts.) A combust Moon is to be avoided in all good Jyotish election charts. A planet within one degree from the Sun is said to the most powerless. In addition to adverse effects in the natal astrology, a combust planet is too weak to render beneficial effects during its favorable transits to the natal position.

    An eclipse of the luminaries is analogous to combustion, in which case either of the luminaries is not visible because of occlusion. The period of the occlusion is a very feared astrological effects, especially in electional astrology. The constellation occupied by the Moon at the time of solar or lunar eclipse must be left in elections being highly malefic. The period for which the said constellation is to be shunned, depends upon the degree of severity of the eclipse. As per Hindu electional astrology, the intervening period between the two eclipses is prohibited in elections.

    For technical purposes, in Western astrology, most ancient and medieval authorities considered a planet combust or burnt when its position was within 5-8 degrees on either side of the Sun. However, a planet will continue to be weakened by Sun until it has elongated by 15-17 degrees from it. (Lilly says 17 degrees on p. 113 of Christian Astrology.) This positioning is said to be under the beams of the Sun, and although it may be stronger than being combust, it will still cause a noticeable weakening in a planet's effectiveness.

    As per the ancient western astrologers, a planet within arc of 17 minutes the Sun’s longitude is “in heart of the Sun” & is said to be a cazimi planet. William Lilly opines it to be “ wondrous strong”. The traditional astrologers give (+) 5 points to evaluate strength of a cazimi planet. But some modern astrologers disagree with this and opine it as “silly distinction”. Further in evaluation of strength of planets, (-) 5 points are allocated to combust planet (between 17' and 8.5° from the Sun); and (-) 4 points under beams of the Sun (between 8.5° and 17° of the Sun). Thus a planet when even not heliacal set (as per astronomy) is considered week by the accidental debilities mode of calculation.

    Since Mercury remains 28 degrees from either side of the Sun and is hence combust most of the time (about 150 days in a year), it is difficult to apply the strictures of combustion to that planet. Furthermore, the Moon is combust two days out of every lunar month, although the period of the New Moon, when the Moon is in this condition, has always been regarded as a perilous one astrologically.

    yes i have a case of a few friends that have good combinations of planets to raise in life,but as we sad if the moon is not good they have problems in the mind,they are not in center and thay cant be focused to reach the goal.

    I have one friend that has a bad and weak moon,and i have never seen him that he didnt start to speak how bad things are,and he has dark periods of mind,usualy for no reason.

     

    So in order to be like the King on must have a royal mind,not one of a peasant,so to say.

    One must have a vision of one self in the bright light,and meditate on that,never give up to the obstacles of life.

     

    Hope i have made my point of view clear

     

    You have missed my one specific point and that is that apart from being combust if the planet is affected by other weakness ,then and only then the near absolute denials take place.

     

     

     

     

    Saravali

     

     

     

    By Kalyana Varma

     

    Ch. 39. Obstructions To RajaYogas

     

     

     

    3. The RajaYogas in the horoscope are only name sake, if the Moon being weak is in the last Navansa of a Movable Sign, or in the 8th Navansa of a Fixed Sign, or in the first Navansa of a Common Sign and is without aspect from any other planet.

     

     

    8. Should the Sun be in his own Navansa, while the Moon is in combustion and in aspect to malefics without the aspect of benefics, the native will enjoy rulership (with the help of other Raja Yogas) only to relinquish the kingdom soon and will become miserable.

     

     

    9. Should the Moon lend her inimical aspect to the Ascendant Lord, while the Sun, Mars and Saturn are in their order in the 3rd, 6th and 7th, the RajaYogas will become ineffective. Benefics should in this case be not in Angles, but suffer combustion.

     

     

     

     

    14. If weak Moon is in her deep degree of debilitation the RajaYogas get destroyed, just as a king going against an astrologer.

     

     

    19. If in the formation of Kemadruma Yoga, the Moon is without the aspect of another planet, the RajaYogas lose their existence and the native will be devoid of good conduct

     

     

     

    As per BV Raman in prasana marga stanza 31 & 32 a combust mercury and moon in ascendent can cause unmaada yoga (Madness)

     

    Please refer to the start of my reply wherein i have mentioned about moon being mind or mother.

     

    Hope i have given a reasonable explanation.

     

    The point that you have highlighted clearly states that Apart fromcombustion if the planet is weak due to other reasons also only then and then the effects are that severe as highlighted.

    Dear Sandhu,

     

    Lot of new concepts have been divulged by you. Like orbs of one or two degrees. I would like to know whether its reference has been taken from any treatise or it is your personal experience / research.

     

    Surly when a novice shall read the following line in the first para of your thread ,he shall get a shock.

     

    "If such a planet is weak on other accounts too, the significations ruled by them do not even take birth. "

     

    It is well known fact that the Moon is combust when is within 12 degrees on either side of the Sun. That does not mean that such natives shall / do not have ANY fruits of the significances of the Moon, even if the Moon is weak. That native shall surely not become lunatic, only on account of such Moon.

     

    Mercury is combust in about 30 % of the horoscopes - does that mean that those natives do not have any good effects of the Mercury in their life time?

     

    Combustion has some adverse effects, but not that severe as mentioned in the theard.

  25. Dear MR ji,

     

    Thanks for putting in the relevant post. I firmly believe that for fixed ascendents 3l and planets in 3 are primary and secondary badhaks. Here is the link of my previous thread

     

    http://www.indiadivine.org/audarya/vedic astrology-jyotisha/449707-badhkesh-12-th-good-auspicious.html

    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
