DETAILED CHART ANALYSIS

Dear Consulter,
You are familiar with the Rashi Chakra of your ex-wife and other Varga Chakra. Simha Lagna rises in the Rashi Chakra and there is no Graha in the Lagna. Now, you have mentioned Kalank Yoga but I have not come across this term before. There are many commentaries and texts in Jyotish and some of the later ones are dubious in their authenticity. Restricting ourselves to the standard tools of Jyotish which are enormous in their scope, we shall evaluate all these facets presently.
Now in the same line of thought, we should note that the 7th Bhava is a delicate Bhava and generally no Grahas are preferred in the 7th Bhava in the Rashi Chakra. This shows the attitude to marriage and partnership including romantic and intimate partnership. Your wife has Shukra in the 7th Bhava and this is a unique situation as Shukra is the Naisargika Karaka/ Natural Significator for marriage. The Naisargika Karaka placed in the 7th Bhava can distort one’s perspective towards the marital alliance. She also has Guru joined which forms the Dwi Guru Yoga. Guru and Shukra indicate polar opposites in terms of qualities that manifest in the world. There can be a sense of misplaced idealism when the native evaluates or works with her own innate attitude towards such alliances and personal life. As the Lagna Lord Surya is also here it causes a great deal of focus on desires and wanting certain things in life and these desires and attaining them can rule the overall tenor of life.
Since Surya apart from being the Lagna Lord in this chart is also the Naisargika Karaka for the Lagna, its placement in the 7th Bhava whose Karaka is the inimical Shukra can also predispose the native towards depression and substance abuse. In this case it may have led to a tendency to self-medication.
In view of your interim emails regarding the other relationships your wife had, it might be prudent to investigate at this moment as to whether these would qualify for the Upapada Lagna in her chart or not. This is a difficult area in Jyotish in modern life and some of the important facets of Upapada Lagnas exhausting themselves are as follows. Firstly, the relationship should be with an intention to get married and should extend to one year or more. The persons involved should not seriously think of anyone else during the period. Rituals and solemnisation of marriage do not constitute essential ingredients of exhausting or constituting an Upapada Lagna. So, in other words if an otherwise serious relationship lasted for an year or more and came close to a situation where one all but tied the knot, it still may not qualify to be an Upapada relationship. It is a difficult task to isolate this and come to a conclusion.
Now, in your wife’s chart, when we see the Arudha Padas we find that the Upapada Lagna, or the first Upapada Lagna comes to the 3rd Bhava which is tenanted by Tula Rashi/ Libra. The length of the marriage and the reasons for its termination are judged from the condition of the 2nd Bhava from the Upapada Lagna. This facet of horoscopy was divined from your horoscope as well. Now Rahu is placed in Ayush debility in the 2nd Bhava from the Upapada Lagna in her chart. This threatens the longevity and quality of the first marriage. These indications have been found to have been operating in your lives and have been confirmed from your horoscope and the Rashi Chakra as well.
Neecha Rahu in the 2nd Bhava from the Upapada Lagna is a clear indicator of the shock, lying, deceit and the delusion in the relationship. Further the placement of the Upapada Lagna and the Arudha Lagna in mutually Shadashtaka relationships also points at the distancing and separation. For all these reasons one feels that your wife has been on her first Upapada Lagna in her marriage with you. There are a lot of Karmic factors and basic conflict that beset the marriage due to these factors.
Now the relationships that could have become marriage do not appear to have been Upapada Lagna relationships and even if they had become marital alliances they would not have immediately qualified as marriage due to the matching of the life experience in the marriage thus far as received from you. The other reason is that the Darapada/ A7 showing the relationships is in the 10th Bhava which is the zenith of the chart and is also joined the Arudha Lagna there. This can bring relationships in the sense that the native is not prevented from interacting with the opposite sex at some deep level. This is not always the case with people and with nativities.
The nature of the relationships is better judged by looking at the other facets of the Darapada. It is in Taurus but the more important factor is that Ketu is joined the Darapada/ A7 showing that a lot of mistakes can occur in this area of life. This is a quite accurate reflection of the two cases even though the real issues appear to have arisen from the side of the parents of the boy involved. Unknown to many, there would have been mistakes made in these areas and that is quite evident from a study of the Darapada.
Just going by the Upapada Lagna in Your wife’s chart, we find that the Moon is placed in the 7th Bhava showing that relations with the mother-in-law can be stressed due to this placement. The Moon is the Karaka for the mother and in the context of the Upapada Lagna it indicates mother-in-law. In fact, the mistakes characterising the Darapada will also filter through to the overall image in life indicated by the Arudha Lagna as this Arudha Pada is joined the Darapada as well in the 10th Bhava. Since the Moon is the Karaka for all Arudha Padas any Graha that is inimical to the Moon does not help the Arudha Lagna. Ketu causes an eclipse to the Arudha Padas it joins.
Delving into some of the other facets of the Rashi Chakra, let us look at the 2nd and 11th Lord when reckoned from the Lagna. This is Budh and since the planet lords both the wealth houses it is a prominent significator for wealth. When we analyse these factors in the chart we must ponder them as constituting elements that will finally decide issues pertaining to Artha. Budh is placed in a Dusthana from the Lagna showing that the application of intellect and the role of people and personalities in wealth generation and participation is fraught with a degree of struggle and obstacles as these can be related to the 6th Bhava. However, this is also the 9th Bhava from the Arudha Lagna; any Graha in the 9th Bhava from the Lagna supports the social and financial existence of the native. Since Budh is retrograde this will take a lot of effort. But the struggle and the uphill task will contribute to her social and financial status.
Another challenge is to see the Kemadruma Yoga formed from the Arudha Lagna with two natural malefics in the 2nd and 8th Bhava therefrom. This combination causes paucity of funds. Saturn in the 2nd Bhava from the Arudha Lagna is retrograde and indicates that these life propensities are hard to shake off.
The great positive in the Rashi Chakra is that there is no Graha Shrapa happening which is a blessing by its absence as it frees life from concentrated malefic energies that can completely overpower other features of the chart. When viewed from the all-important Arudha Lagna, the 10th House therefrom has three planets and this is also the 7th Bhava of marriage when seen from the Lagna. Her doorway to success is occupied by Rahu. It is with the break of the first marriage indicated by the debilitated Rahu in the 2nd Bhava from the Upapada Lagna that the door to independent life has a chance to open.
This has nothing much to do with what you did in the marriage or what she did in the marriage but everything to do with the Karmic unfolding of the first marriage and what actually transpired in the institution of marriage. The other option is foreign travel but it is mostly with the release from the Karma of the first Upapada Lagna that the Dwara, the 7th from the Arudha Lagna would open. The lord of the Bhava holds the key to its opening and these are Mangal and Ketu. Mangal is placed in the 5th Bhava from the Lagna and in the 8th Bhava from the Arudha Lagna so it will be very difficult to actually get around to complete individual freedom and emergence in life.
Saturn in the 11th Bhava always gives an option to engage oneself with traditional wisdom and pursuits of this kind since this is the 4th Bhava when reckoned from the 8th Bhava of secrets and can show learning from a secret tradition of occult knowledge. Shani also rules tradition and orthodoxy in these matters. This course would be actually recommended since Ketu in the Arudha Lagna can also play irrational and difficult to decipher havoc with the image and finances. The choice is to become spiritual and surrender to the deeper truths of life.
This can bring the spiritual dimension of Ketu to the fore and will then put Saturn in the 12th from the Arudha Lagna reversing things in accord with the dictum ‘Vipreetam Ketouh’. In that scenario Saturn will begin to act as if it were in the 12th Bhava from the Arudha Lagna and that is a much better scenario. With that the malefic Mars will also give results as if it were placed in the 6th Bhava from the Arudha Lagna, vanquishing enemies though giving an entirely different material focus in life and wealth could then come through questionable means. Whatever that may entail Karmically, it material life these malefics in the 3rd and 6th Bhava from the Arudha Lagna give great material success.
Now, there are interesting synchronicities at play here since the Arudha Lagna is also joined the 8th Bhava from the first Upapada Lagna showing that this turning to the world of the super-rational or irrational depending on the point of view has many ramifications for her in life.
She may get her chances of getting married to a spiritual being enhanced by these developments and even the wealth propensities show a change as with regular counting from the Arudha Lagna there are lesser planets aspecting the 11th Bhava from the Arudha Lagna than there with the counting reversed. The 11th Bhava in the latter situation is Karka and a host of Grahas aspect this location increasing the avenues for the inflow of income.
When the 11th Bhava from the Arudha Lagna is taken to be Meena, it is the 8th Bhava from the Lagna showing impediments and Mangal and Shani influence this by Rashi Drishti simultaneously forming the poverty giving Kemadruma Yoga from the Arudha Lagna. Thus the situation cannot be said overly conducive to wealth generation since the very planets that are adamant on bringing financial stresses shall not be too keen to fructify the avenues for gain that they control. Also since Shani rules melancholy and suffering and Mangal rules anger, when she gets out of these emotions and life qualities, the Kemadruma will disappear as she will then be able to spend on servants and help, again signified by Shani, as the Graha effectively moves to the 12th Bhava of expenditure from the now spiritual Arudha Lagna.
Likewise, the role attributed to Rahu as far as the headless and susceptible Arudha Pada is concerned will also undergo a modification and foreign lands may come into play as far as the emergence of the native into society after the transformation has manifested itself is concerned.
The five Grahas aspecting Karka Rashi in the 11th Bhava from the Arudha Lagna upon the reversal coming into play show that foreigners and foreign lands and love and romantic relationships as too Atma Jnana and eternal truths shall all open avenues for material growth. These life qualities and areas have been drawn from the Natural Significations and Naisargika Karakattwa of the Grahas involved in the process of the sign aspect.
The further facet of all this is that the 2nd Upapada Lagna will be joined the Arudha Lagna and there may be some sort of competition but with the infra-red heat of Ketu dissolving the distinction of Maya this may not pose too much of a problem. This would be a love marriage or there would be a personal relationship preceding it since the Darapada is joined the 2nd Upapada Lagna in the 10th Bhava from the Lagna and the A2/ Arudha Pada of the 2nd House also joined this junction further indicates that movable assets and money would be a prominent player in the relationship and marriage.
There are very many intricacies in this chart and working with the hypothesis for a moment that this reversal in the image and the Arudha Pada does not truly come about then also the marriage may happen but its longevity will be threatened by lying, cheating and perversity and the spouse and she too may exhibit ingestion of injurious substances like alcohol and self-medication. There does not appear to be a rational choice in the Rashi Chakra, save to embrace the prospect of super-rationality, since without that the life themes continue much as they are at the present moment, in most respects.
However proceeding with the more optimistic option of the spiritual reversal you will find another striking feature in the chart: whereas from the first Upapada Lagna, the Moon is in the 7th House indicating the friction with the mother-in-law, with the regular count, Moon is in the 12th Bhava from the Arudha Lagna showing that social and financial rise cannot be accompanied by a simultaneous relationship with one’s own mother. In other words, the Mother of the native herself will not be a witness to the social and financial rise of the native. If the native were to reverse her being by turning spiritual then the Moon would act as if placed in the 2nd Bhava from the Arudha Lagna and would give great sustenance to the image and also ensure polite and sweet speech, at least at the relative level if not more. The mother would face no Karmic propensity of not being present or being witness to the rise and well-being of the daughter. This is subject to the fact that we are assuming that the longevity of the mother extends to the time of the spiritual reversal, if at all.
For future propensities in the realm of work, profession and career attainments, one of the prime determinants is the 10th Bhava and the lord thereof when reckoned from Chandra. The reason is that Chandra shows the societal manifestation in the life of the native and the situation of the Moon in the radix shows the emotional and social personality of the native.
In your wife’s chart, the Moon is in Mesha Rashi and the 10th Bhava therefrom is Makar in the 6th Bhava from the Lagna. This itself means that the Kubera of the chart, Budh is occupying a Dusthana as referred to hereinabove and that too in retrogression, so triple the delay and the effort in the actualisation of dreams in the working life can be legitimately expected. The lord of the Bhava in question is Shani and this Graha is placed in the 11th Bhava from the Lagna which while ruling out actual poverty promises only trouble unless the nature of the visible and manifest life is turned around with the power of the spirit when the same Graha will permit heavy expenditure on the help and mass supporters, which event itself points at the possibility of comfortable financial realities in the offing, albeit with heavy conditionality.
She will like to talk a lot about the trials in her personal life and the domestic situation as Budh is placed in the Moksha Trikona from the Paka Lagna where the Lagna Lord of the Rashi Chakra is posited. This will obviously be tainted with depression and malefic overtones due to the fact that the voluble Mercury is placed in the Saturnine Capricorn. But she will display real venom and inflexibility when the matters of finance are broached with her due to the Rashi Drishti of two great malefics on the 2nd Bhava from the Lagna Lord. She has received the same treatment in these matters from the people she has interacted with regarding finance, daily work and skills in the working arena as the same Grahas aspect the mutable and dual Kanya in the 2nd from the Paka Lagna Saptama which is the Lagna itself. Her interaction with the others is primarily about herself.
Job availability will come in an utterly inexplicable way due to the placement of Ketu in the 4th Bhava from Surya, the latter being the giver of all work in this world. And when this happens she will find foreigners working for her as Rahu is in the 10th Bhava from Surya. These are advanced principles and you will need to ponder the same as they might appear disconcerting at first.
It matters little whether the next spouse will be headless or spiritual because she must become spiritual and these consequences will flow. In charts like these, and please note this carefully, there is very little chance of a remarriage at all.
The possibilities given above regarding the second marriage must be viewed in that context. I shall explain the interplay of these two findings and dicta. When the nodes indicate the termination of marriage, according to Jaimini Sutra they are difficult to cross over so as to enable the Jatak to reach the next spouse. However in this case, Ketu lords the 2nd Bhava from the first Upapada Lagna and so will aid the crossing despite indicating the difficulty therein due to the placement of Rahu there in Ayush debility. Ketu is interested in bringing the second spouse; however Ketu will do so only to extend the lineage of the second spouse in accord with the dictum ‘Ketu Kulastim Vardhanam’. And Ketu poses a precondition of genuine spirituality which cannot be bothered with ritual etc or conformity but must be deep within the Sadhak whether anyone without knows of it or not.
In this light only should you consider the happening or the non-happening of the second marriage of your ex-spouse.
The Navamsha Chakra shows an orthodox first spouse with Shani in the 7th Bhava though maybe also a degree of coldness in the personal relations. The 2nd Bhava from the Lagna shows the 2nd marriage in the Navamsha Chakra and Rahu’s presence here in the sign of Tula further lends strengths to some of the interpretations in the Rashi Chakra.
In your wife’s chart, both the Dwisaptati Sama Dasha and the Vimshottari Dasha apply as the Lagna Lord is in the 7th Bhava and the Chandra Graha is in the 9th Bhava and in the latter case the Vimshottari Dasha is said to give accurate timing of events.
Dwisaptati Sama dasha (applicable if Lagna lord is in 7th or 7th lord is in Lagna):
Maha Dasas:
Mars: 1974-05-13 - 1983-05-13
Merc: 1983-05-13 - 1992-05-12
Jup: 1992-05-12 - 2001-05-13
Ven: 2001-05-13 - 2010-05-13
Sat: 2010-05-13 - 2019-05-13
Rah: 2019-05-13 - 2028-05-12
Sun: 2028-05-12 - 2037-05-13
Moon: 2037-05-13 - 2046-05-13
Vimshottari Dasha (started from Moon):
Maha Dashas:
Ven: 1973-06-04 - 1993-06-04
Sun: 1993-06-04 - 1999-06-05
Moon: 1999-06-05 - 2009-06-05
Mars: 2009-06-05 - 2016-06-04
Rah: 2016-06-04 - 2034-06-05
Jup: 2034-06-05 - 2050-06-05
Sat: 2050-06-05 - 2069-06-05
Merc: 2069-06-05 - 2086-06-05
Ket: 2086-06-05 - 2093-06-05
The Dwisaptati Sama Dasha shows the Maha Dasha of Shukra Graha running and since this is joined the malefic Surya it will give the results of the inner most desires of the native coming to the fore. Whatever she wants in life, she will exhibit in this phase.
The next Dasha in the Vimshottari Dasha sequence after Moon culminates is that of Mangal which is placed in the Bhava of the future. The only thing she can do to improve and relieve this facet is to shift this Mangal to the 6th rather than the 8th Bhava from the Arudha Lagna, since the position from the Lagna is the Satya and cannot change; it is only in the realm of Maya that flux can operate.
The Dasham Bhava in the Navamsha Chakra shows an absence of great fluctuation in wealth. If it is at low ebb it shall continue that way and form a phase; if it rises high it shall stay there and form a phase.
The 2nd Bhava of the Navamsha Chakra shows the Bhagya or subtle destiny content in work. Rahu in Tula, which coincides with the 3rd Bhava and the Upapada Lagna in the Rashi Chakra using the Navamsha Tulya Rashi technique, shows that the first marriage will be crucial in opening the subtle Karmic channels of working life and communication and short travel in likely to happen. Short travel could be subsequent to crossing the oceans and then travelling short distances.
The like evaluation of the gains in life shown by the Surya-Mangal yuti in the 3rd Bhava in the Navamsha Chakra can also be evaluated in the same way where the 4th Bhava holding Vrishchik Rashi in the Rashi Chakra becomes crucial with Rahu there, disrupting peace at home in the native land to open up these avenues in foreign lands.
All these possibilities of dramatic changes are fortified also by a study of the Chara Karaka in the charts. Firstly, there is a Chara Karaka replacement between the Atmakaraka and the Amatyakaraka showing a radical transformation in the personality. The 5th and 8th Lord Guru is the Atmakaraka for the chart and in Kumbha Rashi it is akin to exaltation and at some point she would have been taught the need to respect the traditional values and the importance to adhere to the same. With marriage or with serious relationships, the bent of mind towards fashion and aesthetics in work shown by Venus as the Amatyakaraka waned and her nature became Venusian and sense oriented. This is the time when all these deviant incidents have come to light and she has demonstrated that her soul is attuned to Venusian desire as shown by the positing of the Graha in the 7th Bhava as the Naisargika Karaka for the same.
The Pitrikaraka and the Putrakaraka also undergo a replacement as taught by Parashara in the Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra. Mercury will replace Rahu as the Pitrikaraka and the slot of Putrakaraka will be taken up by Guru. Even in the first replacement, the role of the Amatyakaraka will be taken up by Guru. This shows again that the sage world of Jupiter is needed to be embraced in order to emerge from the troubles and problems.
The Dashamsha Chakra should also be referred to in this regard. But before that it should also be seen that Shani is transiting the Lagna at the moment and the Batuk Bhairava Mantra will help in safeguarding the health. It also aspects the 10th Bhava and the Arudha Lagna therein, with Graha Drishti from the Lagna, and forms Kantak Shani, taking away the will to work.
The Batuk Bhairava Mantra is:
‘Om Bam Batukaya Apdudhharanaya
Kuru Kuru Batukaya Bam Om Namah Shivaya’
This Mantra should be chanted 108 times daily to mitigate the effects of the Vata and depression caused by the Gochar of Shani.
For the Kantak Shani also the Sri Rudra Chamakam is the remedy but one feels that in this chart, the remedy is will especially in the absence of Graha Shrapa etc and she should work on the practical lines given in the instant Analysis.
In the Dashamsha Chakra also the 7th Bhava of service is stronger than the 6th as the 6th Lord itself is placed in the 7th which is Maraka to the 6th Bhava, Independent enterprise is stronger in this Varga Chakra. Shashi-Mangal Yoga in the 7th Bhava is a pointer to the possibility of wealth in work but sometimes indicates dabbling with less than the most legal works. Consulting could be one avenue and Mars and Moon here could show working with the masses and the people at large maybe in residential real estate. The 10th Bhava has the Lagna Lord Rahu with Guru and Shukra two Brahmin Grahas again showing consulting in a technical/ Martian setting. Rahu is also the co-lord of the Lagna in the 10th Bhava while Shukra is the Yogakaraka so once the adverse Yogas in the Rashi Chakra qua the Arudha Lagna and the Chara Karaka replacement have had their say and she turns a new leaf, these prospects are likely to have greater say.
This Analysis has been structured keeping in view the intricacies and complexities of the horoscope and must be read and used in that light keeping the overall circumstances in mind.
Best wishes,
Anurag Sharma.

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

Vedic Astrology: The Charakaraka Replacement and Its Impact

At its deepest core Jyotiṣa is at the driving centre of all Karma. Just like life, if properly appreciated as it must, it has the status of a full-scale on-going project of immense magnitude. Karma and Soul : The Lagna and the Bhavas reckoned from the Lagna in the Rāśi Chakra indicate the physical manifestation of life. In the Varga Chakra the Lagna and the Bhāvas indicate the personality and realities of that specific environment. When we speak of Karma we inevitably speak of the soul as it is the soul which must carry and exhaust the Karma through rebirth. Charakāraka - Matters pertaining to the soul are studied and deciphered through the Charakāraka in Vedic Astrology. The Charakāraka are the temporal significators (Naisargika Kāraka) for various matters at the level of the soul and the Karma. The Charakāraka are decided on the basis of longitude of arc traversed by the planets including minutes and seconds of arc, and sometimes fractions of seconds of arc. The Eight Cha

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
