Premise - The Lagna (Ascendant) and Bhāvas (Bhavas or houses) reckoned therefrom, can overwhelm the application of the principles of Vedic astrology, to the exclusion of essentials, but this may not be the correct approach. The main function of Vedic Astrology - The raison d’être of Jyotiṣa (Jyotisha or Vedic astrology) is essentially problem solving, sometimes very apparently so, and on other occasions, this manifests in a veiled manner. Sweeping across the premise with a broad brush, we can say that Vedic astrology concerns itself with the problems precipitated by our own Karma reflected in the Rāśi Chakra (Rashi Chakra) and the numerous divisional charts. More specifically, the whole process of horoscope evaluation, apart from furnishing a complete picture of the Karma to be experienced, is focussed on unravelling the contours of particular environments in life; these could be health, fortune, family and siblings, spouse and relationships, properties, children, work, caree

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

Grahas (Planets) and their play - In my work with horoscopes from around the world, I have consistently found that the archetypal planetary energies of Vedic astrology, giving play to the Karma that defines lives, are uniform. The only thing which then remains to be done is to apply their impact to people and their life paths, with astute awareness of the contours of a given culture, geographical character, history and social mores. Pressfield’s Resistance- One such planetary energy is that which often requires an elevation of the self to counter its operation. This is the energy of opposition, of setback, of challenge and impediment. Steven Pressfield in his work, emanating from film and writing has called it Resistance. In Jyotiṣa or Vedic astrology, this is the work of planet Śani (Shani or Saturn). [Karmic resistance as viewed in Vedic astrology is a wider metaphysical concept than Pressfield’s Resistance but there are benefits to be derived from examining the latter in
