Some Tools of Dynamic Vedic/ Indian Horoscope Predictions and Analysis


SOME TOOLS OF DYNAMIC ANALYSIS:

Each enthusiast of Jyotish eventually develops his own style to work with horoscope. I usually let the horoscope dictate how I will work with it. Just as people are different, their horoscopes mirror that difference as well.

Apart from this, I do have, boradly speaking, a particular way that I employ in working with charts. I start simply with the Lagna and the Lagna Lord and usually evaluate the placements and Yogas formed with the nine planets. This usually gives a basic picture of life at the physical level of the Rashi Chakra. Sometimes the horoscope does not afford combinations that reveal much and then without dwelling too much on the Grahas, Bhavas and Yogas, some peculiar combinations emerge that must catch the eye of the Jyotishi. These could be overriding features in Jyotish and the person must learn to spot them at the outset as they hold sway over the whole horoscope.

These could occur from the Lagna, Arudha Lagna, Atmakaraka or the Moon or a combination of such reference points. The Gochar of Shani is always extremely crucial to determine what sort of Karma is operating at a given time. Kantak Shani and Sade Sati must be spotted if it is operating.

The most important feature, apart from Yogas such as Kala Sarpa Yoga, Sarpa Yoga, Graha Malika Yoga, is the presence of great affliction and/ or great blessings. If these exist, there is not much point in evaluating some great Yogas that indicate otherwise. These latter will simply not happen to the extent indicated in the presence of the former and if they do occur they will be so frail so as to escape routine recognition.

Thus, blessings and curses apart from the other overriding features must be judged at the outset and in this judgment the Moola Dasha indicating the Karma is of prime importance. In a formal reading one will not evaluate the Varsha Tithi Pravesh Chakra unless requested as a part of the Composite Analysis but it may be taken that this is perhaps the most potent tool to fine tune the Dashas and Antardashas and to evaluate a given year. It is indispensable and must be used.

Prior to coming to work with the horoscope I engage with the other side to rectify the time of birth and the relevant Varga Chakras to my satisfaction as there is no point working with inexact birth time and the given birth time almost always needs to be rectified.

I use the Vimshottari Dasha reckoned from the Moon at the outset unless a conditional Nakshatra Dasha taught by Parashara and explained as is all else by Pt. Sanjay Rath, applies to the horoscope. In the latter scenario I dispense with the Vimshottari and use it at a later stage as a confirming and stimuli-oriented tool. I always use the Padakrama Dasha/ Narayana Dasha and also use it for the D-10/ Dashamsha Chakra where either specific opinion is sought on the career, which is amost always the case, or where the D-10 is conspicuous. I have found the Tithi Ashtottari Dasha to give unbelievably good results in annual horoscopy provided the natal birth time is carefully and accurately rectified.

If the Moon is in the 9th House, we must always remember to use the Vimshottari. It can be calculated from the Lagna, instead of the Chandra Nakshatra when Chandra is weak in Dusthana and not aspected by Guru, Budh or the Shubhapati with the Rashi Drishti/ sign aspect and there are more planets in the Kendra from the Lagna.

I do not use the transits of all planets in predictions but only those of Saturn, Guru, the Nodes and the transit of the Dasha lords and even these to get a crisper picture. I use the transit of the Moon in daily life but as taught qua the Arudha Pada and this will show how the day manifests and which visible areas of life are precipitated. It always works. The transit Moon is an important tool in predictions.

A BRIEF LOOK AT THE TWELVE LAGNAS/ ASCENDANTS IN VEDIC ASTROLOGY

People are often curious at the beginning of their astrological quest, to know something of the various facets pertaining to their ‘chart’; in other words, they wish to evaluate the basic propensities pertaining to their Lagnas and their Rashi/ Lagna Kundalis (Kundalis). Also, the Chandra Lagna itself and Gochar furnish other popular areas of curiosity. Lagna is the sign rising on the Eastern horizon at the time of birth and is occupied by a Rāśi (Rashi)/ Vedic sign. The average duration of a sign rising in the Lagna/ Ascendant is two hours and for this reason the twelve Rāśis cover the twenty-four hours duration of the solar day. ( Basic Jyotiṣa principles can be accessed by clicking this link ) Lagna imbues a person with individuality and therefore denotes the self and the personality of the person. It is the first house or Bhāva of the chart and is the commencement point of any horoscopic study. We cannot forget that in all the divisional charts as well there is a Lagna/ asc

Yanavanta/ Annapurna/ Vahana Yoga of Venus and Moon in Scorpio-8th October, 2013

The Yānavaṅta/ Yanavanta/ Annapūrṇā/ Annapurna/ Vāhana/ Vahana Yoga is formed when Venus and Moon/ Śukra and Cañdra/ Shukra and Chandra associate to form a Yoga in the Vedic horoscope; by Vedic horoscope is meant the Rāśi Cakra/ Rashi Chakra and the Varga Chakra as well, the latter being the divisional charts governing specific areas of life such as marriage (Navāmśa/ Navamsha), career (Daśāmśa/ Dashamsha), children (Saptāmśa/ Saptamsha), parents and elders (Dwādaśāmśa/ Dwadashamsha), comforts and luxuries (Ṣodaśāmśa/ Shodashamsha), spirituality and worship (Vimśāmśa/ Vimshamsha), education (Siddhāmśa/ Siddhamsha) etc. Let us consider the immediate meanings of the various terms used to indicate the Yoga formed due to the association of Venus and the Moon. The term Yānavaṅta/ Yanavanta indicates the charioteer or one guiding the vehicle of humanity or a group or individuals. It indicates leadership and the capacity to show the way to the multitudes and to guide and mould their live

A METHODOLOGY FOR VEDIC CHART INTERPRETATION

The following is an attempt to lay down a general method to conduct professional chart analysis. It appears to have worked well for the author in his practice. Notably though, it need not be the best way to interpret charts and the astrologer must find her own way when it comes to developing a structure with which to unravel any given chart. Some of the more general features of interpretation are being omitted for fear of the paper becoming unwieldy but certain crucial aspects of Jyotish interpretation are being explained since these are not very widely used. The author is indebted to the works of Pt. Sanjay Rath, author, scholar and Jyotish Guru of Sri Jagannath Center. It is through assimilating the writings of Pt. Rath that the author has been able to progress from the fundamentals of Jyotish to a somewhat deeper understanding. ARUDHA PADAS: The houses as reckoned from the Lagna/ Ascendant reveal the truth about the native. This is metaphysical reality as distinguished from precipit
