What are Aspects? In astrology, aspects simply means seeing something. Person A aspects person B in the other room. This simply means that person A is looking at person B in the other room. Planets do the same. They look at each other in a birth horoscope. Certain planets have the ability of seeing certain things. There are planets that can only see planets or houses directly opposite to them. There are also planets that can see other houses besides the one opposite to them. When planets aspect in astrology, they infuse their qualities upon the house and planet they are sitting in. This is a very important part of astrology, more important than even conjunctions. People are aware of conjunctions, but certain events happen in life which a conjunction cannot explain, and this is where aspects need to be evaluated. There can be a positive conjunction of Venus and Mercury in the 2nd House, which can bring wealth and provide love and communication between family members. If Saturn was to aspect Venus and Mercury from another house, this will alter the condition of the conjunction and the house. Most beginners would fail to see this, even some intermediate astrology students. Remember, aspect simply means a planet's ability to see other houses and planets sitting in them in a birth chart. Below is the list of Aspects each planet has: Sun- 7th House from itself Moon - 7th House from itself Mercury - 7th House from itself Venus - 7th House from itself Mars- 4th, 7th and 8th House from itself 3

Jupiter - 5th, 7th and 9th House from itself Saturn - 3rd, 7th and 10th House from itself Rahu/Ketu - 5th, 7th and 9th House from themselves. What do I mean when I write the words "From itself" in the table? If I was to tell you Saturn aspects 3rd, 7th and 10th House, you would think that no matter where Saturn sits, he will always look at the 3rd House, 7th House and 10th House of the horoscope. However, that is incorrect. Saturn aspecting other houses from itself means that you must go counter-clockwise to the 3rd, 7th, and 10th House from where Saturn sits to understand its aspect. If Saturn is in the 11th House, this doesn't mean Saturn is looking at the 3rd House, 7th House and 10th House. This means, if you go counter-clockwise in the north Indian style birth chart of Vedic astrology, Saturn would look at the 3rd place from the 11th House, which is the 1st House, as in the ascendant. Then, Saturn would look at the 7th House which is directly opposite to the 5th House. Next, Saturn would look at the 10th place from the 11th House which is the 8th House. This is how you judge the aspect of planets. You count the places from where they sit. Aspects are like a mirror image; it is the ability of a planet to reflect back at itself through the house. This is true especially for 7th House aspect, which is known as direct opposite. In western astrology, aspects become quite complicated and confusing. Typical terms include: Opposite, Trine, Square, Sextile and Quinox. Such terms operate on a degree basis, which is cumbersome.

4

Misconceptions about Aspects: There are many who follow the rule on aspects which states that all planets have some aspect on some house. They will tell you the Sun has 20% aspect on the 4th House, 30% aspect on the 5th House, and 50% aspect on the 9th House. This type of scenario runs for all major planets in Vedic astrology. However, this is simply not true and doesn't work. It makes astrology complicated when its simplicity is far more powerful.

Special Aspects: In Vedic astrology, aspects are simple. Each planet has been given a specific aspect and they must operate with those exact rules. Jupiter can aspect the 5th, 7th and 9th place from itself. The Sun can only aspect 7th place from itself. It's that simple. You don't need to worry about those confusing terms. Think of aspects like laser beams shooting out from a planet towards certain houses. Earlier, you learned the aspect of each planet. In the example below, I will use the aspect of Saturn and Jupiter.

5

Example 1:

Saturn in the 4th House in the sign of Taurus. Number 2 represents the 2nd zodiac sign, Taurus. If you do not know how to read a chart, please refer to my book Astrology @ The Speed of Light, which makes analyzing a birth chart simple and easy. In Example 1, Saturn is in the 4th House, and the blue lit house that you see are the aspects being created by Saturn. If you remember, Saturn aspects the 3rd, 7th, and 10th place from itself, so if you go counter-clockwise from where Saturn is, the 3rd place from 4th House would be the 6th House. If you look at number 4, Saturn aspects directly opposite to the 7th place from itself, which is the 10th house, where you see number 8 (Scorpio). Finally, it aspects the 10th place from itself which is the ascendant, where you see number 11(Aquarius). This means Saturn will infuse its qualities upon the houses it aspects.

6

Example 2:

Jupiter in the 1st House in the sign of Aquarius. Number 11 represents the 11th sign of the zodiac, Aquarius. If you move counter-clockwise from 11, you will come up to the 2nd House which is 12 (Pisces). From the ascendant, Jupiter now aspects the 5th House where you see number 3 (Gemini), 7th house where you see number 5 (Leo), and 9th House where you see number 7 (Libra). Jupiter aspects 5th, 7th, and 9th place from itself.

7

Example 3:

Mars in the 3rd House in the sign of Gemini is in aspect to the 6th, 9th, and 10th House. This is an Aries ascendant chart because number 1 is in the 1st House, and each house and sign are as is. The number 10, represents the 10th House with the 10th sign of the zodiac, Capricorn. Mars aspects the 4th, 7th, and 8th place from itself. From the 3rd House, if you count 4 places, you come to the 6th House, directly opposite is the 9th house, and 8 places from the 3rd house is the 10th house. Mars aspects the 6th, 9th, and 10th House from the 3rd House. Why do Saturn, Jupiter, and Mars have special aspects, and why those particular houses? Because Mars possesses the 4th, 7th, and 8th aspect. Mars has the 4th aspect because the original 4th House represents land or property, and Mars is the karaka of those things. All planets aspect the 7th House, so it's no surprise that Mars aspects directly opposite. With the 8th aspect, Mars represents accidents, blood, surgeries, cuts, and secrecy. 8

With respect to Jupiter and the 5th, 7th and 9th aspect, Jupiter aspects the 5th House because it's the house of academic education and children, and Jupiter is the karaka of such things. All planets aspect the 7th House, so it's no surprise that Jupiter aspects directly opposite. Jupiter's 9th aspect shows wisdom, higher learning, and spiritual knowledge. This is why Jupiter has the 9th aspect while being the karaka of those qualities. With respect to Saturn and the 3rd, 7th and 10th aspect, Saturn has the 3rd aspect because the 3rd House shows our efforts, which Saturn controls. All planets aspect the 7th House so it's not surprise that Mars aspects directly opposite. Saturn has been given 10th aspect because Saturn is all about work and status, while the 10th House is the house of work and status.

Meaning of Planetary Aspects: Each planet in Vedic astrology has a special meaning when they aspect a house or planet. They exert a certain kind of influence upon them. Below are planets and the meaning of their aspect. Sun: When the Sun aspects, it shows straightforward direction. It gives an authoritative influence upon the planet or house. It can show where the person will have responsibility, and give clear direction without wasting time.

9

Moon: The Moon's aspect on other planets and houses shows a sense of comfort and welcoming nature. Such an aspect will give a kind and motherly influence filled with emotions. Mercury: Aspect from Mercury shows where we like to engage, communicate, and gather information. It makes the planet or house a source of networking, communication, and knowledge with analytical skills. Venus: Venus' aspect on other planets and houses gives a pleasant feeling and desire. We gain a strong sense of finding happiness from those things. Mars: Mars aspect shows a straight shooter. The planet or house becomes a direct type of environment. They want to take actions towards those things which are aspected by Mars. They are straightforward with aggressive behavior. Jupiter: Jupiter’s aspect shows where we feel the need to learn and grow as an individual. It shows our desire to achieve a higher level of knowledge in our physical and spiritual life. Jupiter is known as “blessings from the sky.” Jupiter's aspect saves a planet from giving negative results. It either neutralizes the negative result, or reverses it into positive territory. Jupiter's ability to expand can increase the positive or negative feeling of the planet. Saturn: Saturn's aspect shows where we have to focus our attention. Its influence shows where we have to practice the most discipline in order to reap the results of our labor. This is why Saturn's aspect becomes the most important. This aspect also brings fear and anxiety, since we feel so much responsibility in life towards those houses. Rahu: Rahu's aspect shows where we need to expand, conquer, and achieve. In relation to aspect, Rahu acts like Mars. It has an obsession with things that it aspects, and it must achieve its goals

10

to fulfill its hunger. The reason why Rahu is truly like Saturn is because it brings fear towards those things as well. Rahu puts a wrapper of illusion or foreign element upon the planets he aspects or the houses he aspects. Foreign element simply means things we do not understand or are unfamiliar with. Ketu: Ketu's aspect on planets show a sense of separation and a desire to get away. Since Ketu shows our mastery over the things we have already accomplished in past lives, its conjunction, placement, and aspect shows where we feel the least amount of responsibility. At the same time, one has the ambition to experience those things again. Rahu and Ketu are illusionary planets, or better eclipse points of the Moon. Below is their aspect which is similar to Jupiter. Rahu Ketu Aspects: The original scriptures of Jyotish written by Maha Rishi Prashara never talks about the aspects of Rahu and Ketu since they are blind planets and do not have light. You cannot see them in the sky like other physical bodies. However, you also have to understand that Prashara Hora Shastra, the written text of original astrology, is an incomplete book in itself. The book wasn't a manual from A-Z. It was a code breaking text which required higher intuitive powers to comprehend this divine science. He left it incomplete because he wanted the rest of the information, which was just as valuable as the physical written text, to be accessed by the chosen ones. Those individuals practice extensive sadhna (meditation) and live a sawtic lifestyle. Such sadhna exposed more information about Jyotish later in the timeline of India. Rishi Bhrigu wrote about the aspects of Rahu and Ketu in “Bhrigu Samitha.”. The reason why the 5th and 9th House aspect has been assigned to Rahu and Ketu is due to their karmic effect. Rahu and Ketu show our past life karmas; of what we achieved and failed to achieve,

11

and what we are to accomplish in this lifetime. The 5th House is the house of past life deeds and karma, while the 9th House shows the deeds and karma of this lifetime. When I first started practicing Vedic astrology, and looked at people's chart without using the aspects, I was running into problems, including the interpretation of my own horoscope. Once I found out about aspects from a noteworthy astrologer, everything started to make sense; why certain careers were chosen, why marriages took place, and why parental relationships were so important. Example 4: Rahu

The image shows Rahu in the 2nd House giving his aspect upon the 6th House, 8th House, and 10th House. Ketu does the same in Example 5.

12

Example 5: Ketu

I want to discuss an additional fascinating theory about Rahu/Ketu aspects. Many astrologers in South India and some in North India believe that Rahu/Ketu also aspect the 12th place from themselves. This means Rahu in the 2nd House will also aspect the ascendant, as in the 12th place from the 2nd House. After finding out about this theory through one of my followers, I began reviewing new and old charts. The theory fascinated me quite a bit as it made sense in 8 out of 10 horoscopes. Does this mean I firmly believe that these shadow planets aspect the 12th House from themselves? Not yet. Only after reviewing 500 or more horoscopes can one can come to a concrete decision about their aspects. I will be doing such research, and might update my theory on these aspects, but wanted to mention them in this book for your personal knowledge. Remember, don't look at your horoscope on a regular basis, just once every 6 months or so. Better yet, if you remember the chart, just judge it in your mind. For now, only the 5th, 7th, and 9th aspects are valid.

13

Orb Effect in Aspects: There are many methods of studying aspects. You will find astrologers who use a full house orb aspect versus a 10-15 degree orb aspect. What do I mean by orb? Think of an orb like a flashlight in the hands of a planet that is looking over to another house. There would be intense light in the center, while the sides would fade out, however, you will still see the entire house. Example 6:

You can see how Mars' aspect works. There is an intense head or aspect in the middle, while the sides are lighter. This shows that even though Mars has a 100% aspect on the entire house, the middle aspects are intensified. What do I mean by middle aspect? Well, this depends upon the degree where Mars is placed. If Mars is at 10 degrees in any sign, then it would show an intense aspect to the other house between 510 degrees, while the rest would be less intense.

14

Example 7:

Mars is in the 10th House in the sign of Capricorn at 15 degrees. The 4th House is 30 degrees as long as all the houses are. That means since Mars is at 15 degrees, its intense light of aspect will be between 10-20 degrees, as in 5 degrees below 15 and 5 degrees above 15.

15

Example 8:

The 10 degree orb is working in terms of aspect. Mars' red light aspect is intense with the 10 degree orb, but less intense after the 10 degree orb. This is how aspects work. Most professional Vedic astrologers use a full degree orb, as in Mars being at 15 degrees, and will have an intense light over the entire house rather than the 10 degree orb. This still works, but it may not fine tune the meaning of aspect. Having this concept of a flashlight scenario does not really work when a planet is looking at a house which is empty. It only applies when a planet aspects another planet. Having a planet aspect an empty house using the flashlight concept doesn't really mean anything. It is similar to throwing a light on an empty box; no matter how intense or less intense the light is, you will see the same thing everywhere.

16

Example 9:

Mercury is in the 4th House at 15 degrees and the flashlight concept is activated. Mercury is an intense aspect of Mars. Mars is no longer throwing his flashlight at an empty box. There is something inside the box that will either receive intense light or very little light.

17

Example 10:

Mercury is at 10 degrees where Mars' aspect light is very faint. Mercury is not under the spotlight of Mars. How would you use this in real life? Example 9: Mercury is in the intense light of Mars at the exact degree, while Mars is in the 10th House. The speech, communication, writing, and analytical skills of the native at home will be professional, to the point, business-like, and they might even be perceived as rude. Why? Because Mars is in the 10th House of career exalted, while Mercury is in the 4th House of home. The native would want his home to be like his work. He would want everyone in the house to be on guard. They are adamant about working towards their professional goals, and want to win every argument with their family members. This also shows a technical writer who might be working from home, or a home based business. There would be a lot of tension between siblings due to career matters. Mercury = siblings

18

Mars = brothers, blood, fighting, will power, strength and action. Why regarding career? Because Mars is in the 10th House of career, in aspect to Mercury in the 4th House of home life, mother's house, and homeland. This also depicts a lot of rude language being used inside the home by both parents, especially the mother because the 4th House is the house of the mother, while the 10th House is the house of father. The father may use intense language towards the mother. There are a lot of things that can come out of this aspect when applying the house karaka along with planetary karaka. In Example 9, you also have to see which houses each planet is ruling. We are using an Aries ascendant chart where Mars rules the 1st and 8th House, and Mercury rules the 3rd and 6th House. MERCURY HOUSES 3rd House = siblings, initiative, skills and short travels. 6th House = disease, enemies, debts, everyday labor. MARS HOUSES 1st House = self, personality, health, and body. 8th House = sudden events, surgeries, accidents, transformation, and in-laws. Now that we know the houses, we can make another assessment. Mars, which is the self as the ascendant Lord, will always have a career like a police officer, soldier, fighter, martial artist, or a computer programmer. The native will have fluctuations with their

19

siblings due to career issues. They use intense forms of communication within the home. They are courageous due to Mars throwing his tough aspect on the 3rd Lord of self motivation. From a karaka standpoint, the mother would be very courageous due to the father's support. The 10th House karaka (father) is throwing the intense heat of Mars upon the 4th House karaka (mother). This can also trigger sudden blood related diseases upon the nervous system and skin. Before we complete my analysis of Example 9, we must note that Mercury is also giving off intense light towards Mars since planets look directly opposite of each other. Thus far, I have been talking about Mars' influence upon Mercury. We will also discuss Mercury's influence upon Mars in Mutual Aspects.

Mutual aspects: Mutual aspects are simply two planets looking at each other from opposite ends or through special aspects.

20

Example 11:

There is a mutual aspect between Mercury and Mars because they are both looking directly across from each other. A mutual aspect does several things in a chart. It gives it energy, and brings it to life. There is a lot of activity, especially when the two houses have mutual aspects. The two planets are constantly looking at each other. Just as if two people are looking at each other directly, there is bound to be some conversation and exchange of ideas. However, the two natives could also be bitter, and cursing each other. Similarly, the way two planets behave in mutual aspects requires analysis of each individual planet. Is the planet exalted or debilitated in its own sign? What degree and nakshatra of any one of the planets involved in mutual aspect are in conjunction to some other planet? In Example 11, Mercury and Mars are looking at each other. Both planets are infusing each other. Mercury is sharing his energy with Mars, and Mars is sharing his energy with Mercury. This is quite different from a conjunction, because the energy exchange is not

21

happening in the same house. They are happening in two different houses. Let's get back to Example 10. If two planets have a mutual aspect but their degrees are different, how will that impact the aspect? In Example 10 you have Mercury at 3 degrees Cancer, while Mars is at 15 degree Capricorn. This simply means that both planets are impacting one another about 20-30%. If Mercury was to have an ill or aggressive speech value of 10, with an exact aspect like Example 9, then Example 10 would have an aggressive speech value of 4 or 5. Everything I discussed in Example 9 would decrease by 30-40%, but it would still be present.

22

Example 12:

There is a mutual aspect between Mercury and Mars, but this time the degrees are different along with the houses. Mercury is in the 5th House, in the sign of Leo at 19 degrees while Mars is in the 11th House in the sign of Aquarius at 15 degrees. Since Mercury is within a 10 degree orb of Mars, it’s receiving an intense aspect from Mars. This time the aggressive speech style along with quick thinking will occur with love affairs, academic studies, children and creativity. The 5th House represents romance. The native is very straightforward and passionate with their romantic partner. Mars always adds the scent of passion along with aggression. Since Mercury controls the 3rd and 6th, while Mars controls the 1st and 8th, there is a creative passion within the person to write, act, and paint. They have a natural way of mimicking other people and can be quite comedic since the 11th House shows networking and events, while the 5th House shows performing arts. The native can perform and be comedic in front of a large organization. They have a talent for graphic design, creative engineering, and architecture. Why am I not showing the rays of Mercury? Why is Mars only influencing Mercury? Here is a little tiny secret about aspects and 23

conjunction. Malefic planets will have more impact on benefic planets than benefic on malefic. However, there are times when natural benefic will influence natural malefic. Example 13:

Mercury's rays of aspect. How would you truly judge this mutual aspect? When it comes to thinking and calculating things in life, this native would be impulsive, aggressive, quick, and technical. In terms of physical action, they would use their intelligence to win the war. Once you add the element of house rulership, you can go even deeper into the aspect.

24

Example 14:

In Example 14, we are seeing the same image as Example 13, but this time we want to use the nakshatra of these planets since we know their degrees. Mercury is in the nakshatra of Purva Phalguni, ruled by Venus. Mars is in the nakshatra of Shatabhisha, ruled by Rahu. Mercury is acting very creatively. Mercury also wants to experience a very energetic and communicative relationship with the opposite sex since Venus represents relationships. Mars' aspect is making Mercury more energized and passionate. Mars is also in Rahu nakshatra, so he is bringing obsession with the 5th House. This person is obsessed with sex, romance, creativity, and studies. They can be a computer fanatic, video game addict, or programmer. They have tremendous mimicking and speaking skills.

Single/Special Aspects:

25

Single aspects occur when only one planet aspects another planet. This happens in special aspect circumstances with planets like Mars, Saturn, Jupiter, Rahu, and Ketu. When a planet has a special aspect, it’s able to see beyond the ability of 7th aspect, which is a mutual aspect if two planets are 7th from each other. There are many horoscopes where only one planet sees the other planets. What impact does that have?

Saturn's Aspect Saturn aspect: 3, 7 and 10 Example 15:

Venus is in the 10th House with Saturn in the 8th House. We can clearly see that both planets are not opposite of each other, so they cannot see one another directly, but Saturn can still see Venus. Saturn's special 3rd aspect is looking towards Venus from the 8th House.

26

Example 16:

Saturn's 3rd aspect is on the 10th House if you count 3 places counterclockwise from Saturn. Only Saturn is impacting Venus but Venus is not impacting Saturn. How would you read this? Saturn = delay, restriction, discipline, structure, and organization. Venus = love, relationship, desire, happiness, women, wife, and creativity. 8th House = secret dealings of government issues, occult, knowledge, in-laws, taxes, sudden events or sudden fluctuations 10th House = status in society, father, government, and career. Saturn's 3rd aspect regarding willpower and effort is showing that the native will have to be motivated in their career. The 10th House related to career and Venus represents acting, cinema, singing, modeling, fashion, and designing. Venus also represents marriage. This chart demonstrates that a lot of effort is required in making a marriage work, the native may marry an older partner, and it might happen late in life. 27

This also shows that marriage is more about maturity, discipline, and managing a family than romance and love. Saturn is best friends with Venus, so in this case he also gives lot of mechanical and creative ability to Venus. The marriage might lack warmth, but it lasts. Saturn in the 8th House slows down the sudden fluctuations in life, and maintains the balance since it is the karaka of the 8th House. Example 17:

The sign placements of planets. We have a Taurus ascendant with Venus in the sign of Aquarius in the 10th House, and Saturn in the sign of Sagittarius in the 8th House. Now we can determine what house affects these planets, and how Saturn’s aspect will take effect. Saturn for Taurus ascendant rules two of the most important houses: the 9th House and 10th House. It becomes the yogakaraka of this ascendant. Venus is the ascendant Lord and the 6th Lord.

28

Venus is sitting in Saturn's own house and sign. This means Saturn's aspect is within its own house, and brings protection to the house. Venus, being the best friend of Saturn, is becoming part of that protection. The native may be a workaholic since it's the ascendant Lord being aspected by Saturn, the planet of work and effort. It will give sudden career advancement and blessings in the status of the native’s work life. Remember the rule of thumb. Whether planets are best friends or bitter enemies, they will always share their natural significance upon other planets in aspect and conjunction. Although Venus is getting support from yogakaraka Saturn, it will still frustrate Venus and delay things related to Venus. Example 18:

The degrees are revealed. Venus is in a very tight aspect of Saturn's orb. This can demonstrate the pure hard aspect of Saturn with regards to a tremendous work ethic, harshness in romance and life, and the need for stability and security in marriage, career, and all relationships. The native is always involved with professional women. There is also lot of fear and anxiety towards the idea of marriage, dealing with women, and female co-workers. 29

Example 19:

Venus is at 26 degree Aquarius and about to exit the sign while there is a good 11 degree difference between Venus and Saturn. This softens the aspect of Saturn. If Venus was to work 15 hours a day in Example 18, now it's working 10 hours a day because of distance in degree. Although being 11 degrees apart is still not far enough, it won't be as dominating as the previous example.

30

Example 20:

Saturn at 5 degrees while Venus is at 27 degrees. There is a 22 degree difference between two planets, so the aspect is hardly felt on Venus. Instead of working 10-16 hours a day, Venus would be working 6-8 hours a day, and would be far more romantic and soft compare to previous two examples. We can also study the nakshatra from Example 20. Saturn is in the Mula nakshatra ruled by Ketu, and Venus is in the Dhanishta nakshatra ruled by Mars. Saturn’s aspect is also giving the orb of Ketu. While being in the 8th House of occult, and in the nakshatra of the planet that represents occult knowledge, Venus' pleasure and career happiness can come from dealing with the occult and mysterious subjects. They can be healers, doctors, astrologers, or any kind of investigative expert. However, the nakshatra effect is very little compared to the planet's own power and qualities. The planet behaves like the Lord of the nakshatra he sits in. If Saturn is giving 15% effect of the nakshatra Lord, then 85% is its own qualities. 31

Jupiter's Aspect Example 21:

Jupiter is in the 10th House and Mars in the 6th House. Again, there is no mutual aspect between Jupiter and Mars. However, Jupiter is able to aspect Mars from his special 9th aspect.

32

Example 22:

Jupiter is glancing at Mars from his 9th aspect. If you go counterclockwise from Jupiter, and count 9 places with Jupiter being the 1st place, you will end up at Mars. How would you read this aspect? 10th House = status in society, father, government, and career. 6th House = enemies, debts, disease, obstacles and warzone. Jupiter = knowledge, wisdom, higher learning, optimism, and guidance. Mars = fighting, blood, cuts, anger, action, energy, passion, and physical work. This aspect shows that Mars is in the 6th House, which is a very good placement for Mars. He now has the guidance, knowledge, and wisdom from a teacher to win battles, fight disease, and cut through any obstacles related to career. Mars will have great optimism within to win battles.

33

Example 23:

We can see the signs the planets are placed in. We have Cancer ascendant with Jupiter in Aries in the 10th House, while Mars is in Sagittarius in the 6th House. We can quickly see that Jupiter is a functional malefic for this ascendant while Mars is the yogakaraka. We also see that Jupiter and Mars are exchanging signs and creating a parivartan yoga, which we will discuss later. Parivartan yoga is another type of special aspect. Jupiter is in the 10th House of career, creating a good status in the community. This native is becoming very authoritative as a preacher and teacher. The placement of Mars makes one’s career an uphill battle, with many obstacles to overcome. Jupiter's aspect, which is also the karaka of law, can make Mars a litigator, freedom fighter, community leader of non-profit organization, police officer, or a doctor.

34

Example 24:

The degrees are observed. Jupiter is at 13 degrees, while Mars is at 8 degrees. Both have a 5 degree difference, making Mars a strong orb of Jupiter. This shows authority in the workplace, with a great reputation and ability to fight and win all battles related to law, government, and medicine. When observing nakshatras, Jupiter is in the nakshatra of Ashvini, while Mars is in the nakshatra of Mula. This shows strong inclinations towards medicine, surgery, and careers related to the medical field. Ashvini nakshatra represents a 1000 doctors or the medicine man, and it's ruled by Ketu, who is another karaka for surgery, cuts, and blood. Mars being in Mula nakshatra ruled by Ketu again shows knowledge of medicine and going to the root of things to obtain a solution. Jupiter's single aspect on Mars shows that Mars will have the knowledge, guidance, and divine grace to find the root cause of disease.

35

Mars' Aspect Example 25:

Mars is in the 5th House and Venus in the 8th House. There is no mutual aspect between the two, but Mars is glancing over at Venus with his 4th aspect. If you count 4 places from Mars counterclockwise, you will arrive at Venus.

36

Example 26:

Mars’ orb upon Venus. What does this mean? Venus = love, relationship, desire, happiness, women, wife, and creativity. 8th House = secret dealings of government issues, occult knowledge, in-laws, taxes, sudden events or fluctuations, and secret affairs. Mars = fighting, blood, cuts, anger, action, energy, physical work, and passion. 5th House = children, creativity, academic education, and speculative business. Venus in the 8th House shows a very amorous married life with wealthy in-laws, and a spouse who may bring wealth. With an aspect from Mars, it shows tremendous sexual passion, love, romance, and relationships. Mars is transmitting a one-way energy upon Venus and energizing it. Such an aspect can also lead to

37

secret affairs or even homosexuality, but other factors have to be considered. Example 27:

Mars is in Scorpio in the 5th House, while Venus is in Aquarius in the 8th House. How would you analyze this? For a Cancer ascendant, Mars is a yogakaraka planet. Venus controls the 4th and 11th House. This aspect can show that the spouse may be very creative due to Mars' 5th House aspect. There will be a love marriage rather than an arranged marriage. Since Mars is in the sign of Scorpio which represents secrecy, occult, and affairs, it can lead a person into having extramarital romances with people from work or in politics.

38

Example 28:

Observe the degrees of the planets. Venus and Mars have a 10 degree difference. This means Venus is still in the orb of Mars, but it's neither heavy nor light. It's right on the border. This means that Venus will still feel the passion, aggression, and impulsiveness towards romance, love, and relationships. Such a native is impulsive about falling in love with many partners and in their sexual behavior. We can also study the nakshatra this way. Mars is in the nakshatra of Jyeshrha, ruled by Mercury and Venus is in the nakshatra of Shatabhisha, ruled by Rahu. Although Mars is enforcing its own personality upon Venus, it’s also sharing love for the underworld, communication, and overblown ego. Such a Venus will not only be passionate, but also be lustful about the darker side of sex. The native might be into fetishes of some kind, and will fall in love with men or women who have a dark past of sexual abuse, or suffer abuse from family members.

39

Rahu's Aspect Example 29:

Rahu is in the 2nd House and Mercury is in the 6th House. There is no mutual aspect, but Rahu has his special 5th aspect upon Mercury. If you count 5 places from Rahu counterclockwise, you will end up at Mercury.

40

Example 30:

Rahu is exerting his influence on the 5th aspect Mercury. What does this mean? Rahu = foreign, extravagant, clever, liar, cheat, obsessive about worldly desire and achievements. 2nd House = wealth, family, voice. Mercury = communication, logic, analysis, skills, business, manager, writer, journalist, and speech. 6th House = debts, diseases, obstacles, enemies. This aspect by Rahu will amplify Mercury's need to compete in financial wars and win through cheating and manipulation. The speech of the native is utilized in arguments, breaking contracts, litigation, and discussing disease. When Rahu aspects a planet, it doesn't amplify the quality of the planet like it does in conjunction. Rather, it makes the planet hungry for more of what it already possesses, and seeks to accomplish its goals. In conjunction, two planets are in the same house. In aspect, two planets are in two 41

separate houses. In the 2nd House, Rahu is hungry for wealth, and when he aspects any planet, it makes that planet hungry for wealth as well through where the planet is located. In Example 30, Rahu aspects Mercury. It is making Mercury hungry to make money through disease, other people's debts, accounting, and communicating with the enemy through debate. Example 31:

Observe the signs. This is a Libra ascendant chart with Rahu in Scorpio in the 2nd House, and Mercury in Pisces in the 6th House. How would you read this? Rahu = foreign, extravagant, clever, liar, cheat, obsessive about worldly desire and achievements. 2nd House = wealth, family, voice. Scorpio = secrecy, occult, hidden truth, dark passion, and deep desires. Mercury = communication, logic, analysis, skills, business, manager, writer, journalist and speech. 42

6th House = debts, diseases, obstacles, enemies. Pisces = imagination, spirituality, peace, and isolation. Rahu's aspect on Mercury shows that one will have a very wicked mind and a foul mouth with a constant need to lie. This is due to the fact that both planets are known to be debilitated in this ascendant. Since Mercury is debilitated and it controls speech, Rahu from the 2nd House of speech aspects the weak Mercury, making it more fragile. Such a person will be needy due to their extravagant lifestyle, while lying to others to gain wealth. Mercury will even make them capable of blackmail. This is due to Rahu in Scorpio attaining secrets of family and in-laws. It exerts its quality towards Mercury, forcing its intelligence to take advantage of such secrets to gain wealth.

43

Example 32:

The degrees of planets. Rahu is at 17 degrees and Mercury is at 13 degrees. Rahu is in the nakshatra of Jyeshtha ruled by Mercury, and Mercury is in the nakshatra of Uttra Bhadrapada ruled by Saturn. Rahu is also transforming himself into Mercury, but the clever and negative side of Mercury. This is why Rahu's aspect is showing Mercury slightly in his own mirror image. Remember, Rahu has the ability to transform itself into the planets whose sign it sits in. In our case it's Mars. It is aggressive and impulsive here, and can become a very clever businessman.

44

Ketu's Aspect Example 33:

Ketu is in the 11th House and the Sun is in the 7th House. As I discussed, Ketu has a special aspect of 5 and 9. From the 11th House, Ketu aspects the 5th and 9th House. Example 34:

45

Ketu’s impact on the 7th House. Ketu= separation, disinterest, isolation, and sense of abandonment. 11th House = gains, friends, network circles, and elder siblings. Sun = ego, personality, father, soul, and our dignity. 7th House= marriage, legal partnerships, other people, and business or trade. When Ketu is in the 11th House, the native has few friends. It also shows unplanned wealth and profits in life which the native will give away to the underprivileged. Ketu's aspect on the 7th House shows a disconnect with their partner or father. They might even battle government officials. The father would either be separated from the native, or he would travel much of his life and not be present. The 7th House represents marriage, spouse, and partnerships. The native would be very much against settling for anyone. They will be dissatisfied with most of the people in their life, especially their spouse. 46

Example 35:

Observe the signs and ascendant. The chart is Libra ascendant with Ketu in the sign of Leo in the 11th House, while the Sun is in the sign of Aries in the 7th House. Now we can understand more about Ketu's aspect. Ketu in the sign of Leo shows no resistance to fame, politics, theater, and the arts. It feels indifferent to such things. Ketu feels it has mastery over the creative side of life and has a political advantage. The 11th House shows fluctuations within network circles connected to the government and entertainment. They reject most of their friends, and feel that they do not need political connections to receive gains in life. Such an aspect on an exalted Sun in the 7th House shows that the spouse will be very spiritual, dominating, and connected to either politics or entertainment. However, the native and their spouse will clash due to two malefic influences on the 7th House. One is of the Sun, and the other is of Ketu's aspect. As mentioned in my book, “Conjunctions @ The Speed of Light,” when exalted planets are in conjunction with Rahu or Ketu, they receive the positive side of the nodes. If the planets are debilitated 47

or neutral, then such planets receive the malefic side of Rahu and Ketu. In Example 35, you can see that the Sun is exalted, and Ketu is in the sign of Sun. This shows that the Sun won't be eclipsed by Ketu. Ketu will add a sense of spirituality and occult powers within the spouse and the native's own personality. Since Ketu is a natural malefic, the spouse will be away from the native for long durations. Example 36:

Observe the degrees of both planets. This will show you what nakshatra they are sitting in. Ketu is at 17 degrees Leo, or in the nakshatra of Purva Phalguni ruled by Venus. The Sun is at 18 degrees Aries and in the nakshatra of Bharani, also ruled by Venus. How would you read this aspect? Ketu being in the nakshatra of Purva Phalguni shows that it will have the tendency to reject marital bliss and satisfaction. It feels it already has mastery over companionship. 48

This aspect clearly shows the native will be dissatisfied by their spouse due to lack of romance and dominating ego.

Parivartan Yoga Parivartan Yoga is a special mutual aspect. We will now talk about its deeper meaning. Yogas are simply a union of planets that create a certain type of situation in a person's chart. It could be a good situation or a bad situation. What is Parivartan yoga? Parivartan yoga occurs when two planets exchange each other's signs. In Example 23, you had Jupiter in the sign of Aries ruled by Mars, and Mars in the sign of Sagittarius ruled by Jupiter. How is this a special type of mutual aspect?

49

Example 37:

Mars is in the 6th House Sagittarius, and Jupiter is in the 10th House in Aries. How is this a mutual aspect? The reason why this is a mutual aspect is because both are in each other's houses making a telepathic connection. They both are aware of each other's presence in their own houses. Such planets make a deal with each other. I won't destroy your house if you don't destroy mine. Such a deal can go good or bad based on two aspects: 1. If two planets involved in parivartan yoga are natural friends or enemies. 2. If two planets are in good or bad houses. If you have read my book, “Astrology @ The Speed of Light,” you would know that Jupiter and Mars are natural friends. When judging parivartan yoga, one must always pay attention to the houses more than the sign. Observe which two houses are involved in the mutual exchange, and what two other houses the

50

planet rules. Each planet in astrology, besides the Sun and Moon, rule two houses. Since we are dealing with Cancer ascendant, we know automatically what houses Jupiter and Mars rule. Mars rules - 5th and 10th House Jupiter rules - 6th and 9th House We also have to realize that the 6th House is considered a difficult house in astrology along with 8 and 12. This brings us to a point where you must know 3 types of parivartan yoga (special aspect): 

Dainya Parivartan yoga



Khala Parivartan yoga



Maha Parivartan yoga

Dainya Parivartan yoga occurs when the Lord of the 6th, 8th, and 12th exchange signs with any of the other houses. If 6th, 8th or 12th exchanged houses with 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10 and 11th Lord, it would be considered Dainya Parivartan yoga. Khala Parivartan yoga occurs when Lord of the 3rd House exchanges places with any of the other 11 houses like 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12. This yoga gives fluctuations in life, and mixed results depending upon planets and the other houses they rule. Maha Parivartan yoga occurs when Lord of the kendra and trikon exchanges places in House 1, 4, 7 and 10, and exchange places 51

with 5th and 9th House. This is the most auspicious of all special aspects. Knowing these three parivartan yogas will help you determine what the result of the aspect will be. In Example 37, we can now see that there is a Dainya Parivartan yoga occurring. How would you read this? When you read parivartan yoga, you must notice which house comes first in the exchange. In other words, from the ascendant, which house is the first to arrive. Since the 6th House comes before the 10th House, we have to start from the 6th House. Mars in the 6th House does very well as a natural malefic. The native will destroy his enemies and will gain power in career through winning many battles and oppositions. Jupiter being the 10th house shows that there is a link between 10th and 6th house, including 5th and 9th house. This shows there will be rise in career during Jupiter and Mars maha and antar dasha. 5th and 9th house are both karaka of education. This shows that education will be greatly influenced by Jupiter and Mars, that means a civil engineer, doctor, surgeon and even law school. But since this is Dainya Parivartan yoga, the native will face lot of struggles in the initial stages of career and education but will prevail due to powerful Mars in 6th house.

52

Parivartan yoga can be an aspect and conjunction at the same time. Example 38:

In Example 38, you have khala parivartan yoga occurring as the 3rd Lord Mercury has exchanged signs with 9th Lord Jupiter. The 3rd House is a mild malefic as it’s 8th from the 8th House. It's the 4th most malefic house after 6th, 8th, and 12th. Jupiter in the 3rd House in Virgo makes a very critical and analytical person who is a salesman that goes into too much detail and may loses his customers or business deal. This could also be someone who might be an author who writes critically about local society and government. This can cause a lot of criticism by other people towards the native, and bring about discomfort due to their critical literary work. Jupiter will eventually make a call to Mercury sitting in Pisces in the 9th House. This shows that Mercury, who is the karaka for siblings and lord of the 3rd House, will find a way to receive higher learning. They will have an open and broad mind, and a sense of proper communication through 53

their younger brother or sister, or perhaps even friends. This shows that the person's sense of higher purpose, learning, and communication skills will come through the inspiration of youth, imagination, art and even traveling. Example 39:

Observe the same ascendant, but the parivartan yoga is occurring between 3rd and 6th Lord. This is a mix of khala yoga and dianya yoga. Two malefic yogas will only produce a malefic yoga. The native’s siblings become the enemy, and relationships with teachers and gurus will be tumultuous. They won't listen to advice from others. When Jupiter will make the call to Mercury to help, Mercury will again backstab Jupiter and expose his secrets. Jupiter and Mercury rule the 12th House and 9th House. This means that energy of the 9th and 12th are also coming into play here. Through conflict with their siblings, the native would find spirituality and higher education as a way to cope with domestic issues. They may pursue an education in foreign lands to get away from siblings and enemies. This also shows Jupiter's critical preaching and teaching behavior will 54

improve with time since Jupiter is in a upachaya house. The relationship with siblings, too, will get better with time as Mercury is also in a upachaya house. The native may find it difficult to serve others, as too much criticism will lead to creating many enemies, especially criticism of their siblings.

Example 40:

Cancer ascendant with Saturn in the 4th House and Venus in the 7th House. Both planets are sitting in each other's signs. Since the exchange is between two kendra houses, it shows a maha parivartan yoga even though a trikona house is not involved. How would you read this? First, Saturn is in the 4th House of mother and nourishment. Being a cold and malefic planet, there would be strict discipline from the mother, which would make the native a very mature person at an early age. Even though the native is happy about the mother's teachings, they still feel a lack of love and motherly nourishment from her. This why Saturn will call Venus in the 7th House and 55

ask for help. Venus is in the 7th House of marriage, and Venus represents the spouse. The male native would receive nourishment from his wife, who will fulfill the role of mother. Since Venus also rules the 11th House of gains, friends, and elder siblings, and Saturn rules the 8th House of death, rebirth, transformations, and fluctuations, the native will see sudden changes in friend circles and income. They may have sudden fluctuations with their spouse as well. Since Saturn represents delay, Saturn can bring marriage later in life, and allow for a more fulfilling spouse than if married early. The spouse will also be more mature in personality or age, which makes it easier for them to becoming a maternal figure. Since Venus is 4 houses away from the 4th House, as in 4th from the 4th, it also shows foreign lands. The spouse could be of a different culture or from foreign lands due to Saturn's special aspect upon Venus. A sambandha or parivartan yoga also shows the broad picture as well. In example 40 Venus is in the 7th house of marriage and Saturn is in the 4th house of home. This shows that there is a very strong possibility of the native getting married in Saturn and Venus periods.

56

Sandhi Aspects: What are Sandhi aspects? Sandhi aspects are simply an invisible aspect that occurs in a chart even if two planets are not in a mutual aspect. Let me simplify it for you. Example 41:

Saturn aspects the 10th House while sitting in the 4th House at 2 degrees, in the sign of Libra. Venus, on the other hand, is in the 9th House at 29 degrees in the sign of Pisces. Venus is 1 degree away from entering the 10th House, while Saturn is at 2 degrees in the 4th House. Saturn and Venus are less than 3 degrees apart. Anytime you have a planet 3 degrees or less away from being directly in front of the other planet you have a sandhi aspect. This is because there are no boundaries in the sky. House boundaries

57

are something that was invented by Prashara, the father of astrology.

Example 42:

You do not see the boundaries of the houses. This is how planets are in the sky when you look up. One cannot determine when Venus has entered the 10th House. The orb of Saturn is still able to impact Venus since they are only 3 degrees apart from mutually seeing each other. In this case, Saturn has an aspect on Venus. Saturn will infuse his qualities upon Venus. If you have a delayed marriage, and you can't figure out why, it's probably due to sandhi aspect. Sandhi aspect is a special mutual aspect that occurs when there is a 3 degree or less difference between two planets, while one planet is in the previous house directly opposite to the other planet.

58

Planets Aspect through each House: In this chapter, I will demonstrate each planetary aspect through all the houses, and how their aspect may impact the other houses even though planets may not be present at the end of their glance.         

Sun Moon Mars Mercury Jupiter Venus Saturn Rahu Ketu

Sun Aspect Through Houses: Sun: When the Sun aspects, it shows straightforward direction. It gives an authoritative influence upon the planet or house, and can show where the person would have responsibility and direction without wasting time. The Sun's ability to give confidence, ego, and self-esteem would transform the house it aspects, which is the 7th place from itself. I will use the terms: exalted, debilitated, and own sign. This should be taken as is. The Sun can be in good dignity, bad dignity, or neutral. The Sun can be good in the sign of Taurus, or bad in the sign of Taurus. The Sun can be good in the sign of Aries, or bad in the sign of Aries which is his exalted placement. If the Sun has conjunction of a malefic planet, then his value as an exalted Sun can decrease. You should know these principles from my previous 59

two books on astrology and conjunction to assess a powerful (exalted) Sun or a weak (debilitated) Sun.

Sun Aspect on the 7th House:

When the Sun is in the 1st House, it aspects the 7th House. This means that the Sun will reveal the truth regarding one’s spouse, and will illuminate life in the 7th House. Perhaps the Sun's ego will transform towards the partner, and becomes a life partner. There would be a need to dominate their significant other and seek attention. They feel like they are king, and their partner is a servant. However, if the Sun is in his own sign or exalted in Aries, it can bring about a partner who is truthful, follows the law, and is highly spiritual. They will have confidence in their ability to nourish the marriage. The spouse will have leadership qualities to raise a family, and perhaps provide for the family. If the Sun is debilitated around 5-12 degrees in Libra, it will show domination over the spouse, and even publicly insulting or degrading them. They will be short tempered over small things, and that will create a lot of arguments in the marriage. 60

Sun Aspect on the 8th House:

The Sun in the 2nd House shares an aspect on the 8th House. This shows a great deal of respect for family. The 8th House is the house of transformation, death, rebirth, occult, taxes, and surgeries. The Sun's ability to illuminate brings a great deal of interest in investigating for the government, or working undercover for authorities. One's own family becomes the source of transformation. With the Sun's ability to illuminate, the native is easily able to find spirituality, occult, and help from secret sources. If the Sun is exalted in his own sign, then the Sun's aspect will bring wealth, status, and honor through the spouse’s family. If the Sun is debilitated, one will seek to possess everything they have been given from their family. They can also take resources and wealth of their spouse’s family due to its 8th House aspect. If the Sun is neutral or in good condition, one will be devoted to their

61

own family and will provide resources to increase the status of their spouse's family.

Sun Aspect on the 9th House:

The Sun in the 3rd House shows many skill sets. One can be a great artist, writer, engineer, actor, salesman, or government servant. Its aspect on the 9th House shows serving a higher purpose through their skill set. The 9th House represents teachers, gurus, father's teaching, government principles, law, philosophy, and higher education. The Sun from the 3rd House shows that one will be devoted to their teachers, fathers, and law of the land. This will happen as long as the Sun is not debilitated. A debilitated Sun's aspect on the 9th House will try to overthrow one's own gurus and father. They will feel threatened by higher authorities, and not follow the law of the land. The Sun in the 3rd House can show a government administrator due to his glance towards the 9th House, however, most of the time it shows interest in higher learning. This is especially true regarding skills of hands like 62

engineer, sculptor, or sales manager. Exalted Sun or the Sun in his own sign aspect in the 9th House shows tremendous respect for one's teacher and for their father's teachings. They will take great interest in studying the law, and become the beacon of light for higher teachings and religious purposes. Sun Aspect on the 10th House:

The Sun in the 4th House aspects the 10th House. This shows that one's career will be greatly be influenced by their mother, home, and childhood. The 10th House is career, status, honor, government, and the relationship with one's own father. The 4th House is the private side of life, since the Sun happens to be in the 4th House at midnight when the world is asleep. Such people love domestic life most of the time. The aspect of the Sun on the 10th House shows that the native is strongly inclined towards having a home based business, or an opportunity to work from home. Exalted Sun, or the Sun in his own sign, will show one's attachment to their homeland and mother. Their mother will take on the role of their father in life. This is true even for a debilitated Sun. A debilitated Sun will be like a double edge sword. One will be greatly influenced by their mother, but at the same time, have 63

an ego clash with her and constant arguments. Debilitated Sun's aspect on the 10th House shows a bad relationship with their father and a dislike towards taking orders from authority. In the 4th House, the Sun loses his directional strength. Sun Aspect on the 11th House:

The Sun in the 5th House aspects the 11th House of network circles, gains, elder brothers and sisters, and one's goals. The 5th House represents children, creativity, romance, past life deeds, and politics. This shows that the Sun's aspect on the 11th House reveals one's dominance over their professional network circles, friends, and elder siblings. The Sun brightens the quality of the 5th House which is about fun, creativity, sports, and art. At the same time, its aspect on the 11th House shows the Sun's ability to illuminate his path and achieve his goals, hopes, and wishes. One will have friends and a network circle in highly important places connected to government and senior executives if it’s exalted or in his own sign. A debilitated Sun will generate interest in art, acting, cinema, and performing arts, but their 11th House situation would be highly vulnerable. The debilitated Sun's aspect on the 11th House depicts very few friends who might be of a lower class and 64

dishonest. The native will take advantage of his network circle through his creative ideas and children. The overblown ego of the debilitated Sun will try to seek control of one's friends and networks. Sun Aspect on the 12th House:

The Sun in the 6th House aspects the 12th House. The 12th House is the house of isolation, jails, hospitals, foreign lands, spirituality, donations, and monasteries. In the 6th House, the Sun becomes malefic, especially if in its own sign. The 6th House rules debts, diseases, social work, everyday work life, small animals, enemies, and obstacles. The Sun illuminates the 6th House, and exposes the native’s enemies; reducing them to ashes. If the Sun is in good dignity or exalted, in his own sign or neutral, then one will do charity work related to the government, medicine, and marketing. However, the Sun's aspect on the 12th House shows that one must serve others selflessly in order reap the results of moksha, enlightenment, and peace. One will have to go through many obstacles in life in order gain a spiritual sense of their mission as a human being. Exalted Sun, or the Sun in his own sign, can show a great affinity towards work related to serving the underprivileged 65

and elderly. It can make a person a doctor, or go into the field of medicine. Through the Sun's aspect on the 12th House, the native may work in hospitals and in isolation. If a debilitated Sun is in the 6th House, then the native may run into defeat, hurting those who are powerless; even killing small animals. Such behavior will land a person into jail due to the Sun's aspect on the 12th House. With a heavy workload in the public service sector, the native enjoys times of isolation and visiting foreign lands. Sun's Aspect on the Ascendant (1st House)

The Sun in the 7th House aspects the ascendant. The 7th House symbolizes marriage, spouse, legal partnerships, other people, public life, fame, and business. The Sun aspects the 1st House of self, personality, and body. The Sun is the karaka of personality. In the 7th House, the Sun is dedicated to public life and loves dealing with other people. However, the Sun is not really happy here. It is as if the King (Sun) has to go down to the marketplace to deal with the public instead of them coming to his royal palace. The Sun in the 7th can produce a very egoistic, proud, and self-centered spouse. A dominating spouse controls the native due the Sun's aspect on the ascendant (self). The native also wants to rule and 66

dominate others. The Sun's aspect on the ascendant shows that the native's confidence and ego is derived from other people and their spouse. The spouse will be the source of increased self-esteem for the native. An exalted Sun can make the spouse wealthy and from a respected family. The spouse can be a high ranking government official or an executive in a corporation. The personality of the native would be shaped through other people and public life. A debilitated Sun will always look for a spouse and other types of partnerships to develop their sense of self-esteem and confidence. One's creative expression will only flourish through the praises of others, rather than the native having confidence in their own work. This is why the Sun's debilitated aspect on the 1st House of self can create low confidence. Their dominating nature is overblown; the Sun is trying to acquire power by looking like a king, yet internally they are a sheep. This will create a lot of problems in marriage and partnerships. Sun 2nd House Aspect:

When the Sun is in the 8th House, it aspects the 2nd House. The 8th House represents transformation, secret affairs, death, rebirth, and occult knowledge. In the 8th House, the Sun will illuminate 67

the dark side of life and the individual will either be a revolutionary, or will become the victim of revolution. The aspect towards the 2nd House shows the native’s hidden family secrets, which changed the course of their life. An exalted Sun in its own sign shows that the ego, confidence, and self respect of the native comes through hidden sources, spouse's assets, and dealing with secrets of other people. If the Sun is debilitated as it aspects the 2nd House, then it can show secrecy within the family due to the father, or excessive abuse by the father that was hidden in the family. The native will also use secrets of the family against them to gain wealth and assets. The government can also step in and take the assets of the native due to unpaid taxes, through which their family life would suffer. A debilitated Sun, especially near 5-12 degrees Libra, shows a very dark personality who stays away from the world, yet is cunning enough to operate from underground to dominate others. This is also the reason why they can exert overconfidence and dominance towards their own family. They lack the true dignity of the Sun (King). Sun 3rd House Aspect:

68

The Sun in the 9th House will aspect the 3rd House. The 9th House is the house of higher learning, gurus, law, religious text and scriptures, long distance pilgrimage, and is the house of luck. The Sun in the 9th House glances over the 3rd House of siblings, skills, media, arts, and communication. The Sun, being the ego and confidence of the native, shows that one's self-esteem and ego are derived from higher learning and respecting gurus. However, the aspect of the Sun towards the 3rd House can vary depending upon its sign placement. An exalted Sun, or Sun in its own sign, shows someone who uses higher education and teachings to develop their confidence, and share their knowledge and philosophy with others. This nature transforms into the Sun's aspect on the 3rd House, which shows taking charge of one's own skill set, dominating younger siblings, and communicating as the head preacher to one's close friends and neighbors. A debilitated Sun in the 9th House shows someone who may run into the wrong teachers and gurus. The aspect demonstrates that such a person will teach his or her siblings the wrong things in life, which the native themselves won't realize. They will use incorrect information to improve their skill set in the 3rd House, which will become a battle to fix. Sun 4th House Aspect:

69

The Sun in the 10th House aspects the 4th House. The 10th House represents career, status, reputation, government, and father. There are blessings in the sky, as the Sun is at its highest point at noon. This is why it's called the mid-heaven. The Sun in the 10th House is strong in terms of power and prestige. The Sun governs the federal and local government, and is a professional, serious, and direct planet whose work ethic is uncanny. Its aspect on the 4th House brings professionalism and egocentric behavior into the home. The aspect upon the 4th House represents the mother, home, comfort, and mother's nourishment. The Sun, who is the father, is a very dominating figure in the mother's life and affected her decision making ability. The comfort of home was great, but it had rules one had to follow. If the Sun is exalted in the 10th House, the aspect upon the 4th House will bring sense of prestige and higher status in the home. The native will want his or her family members to act as if they are part of the kingdom and cabinet. An exalted Sun, or Sun in its own sign, shows that one will protect their home against any kind of smearing or insults. They will bring a sense of righteousness within home. Comforts will be regal due to the Sun's powerful rays 70

on the home, but at the same time will be quite strict. A debilitated Sun aspect on the 7th House will show that the father will cause comforts to be taken away. This will cause a great deal of damage in the relationship between the native and their father if the Sun happens to be between 5-12 degrees Libra. Due to problems in their career, the native uses excessive power and ego to dominate their family members.

loves making connections in the political world or with people of high status in society. The Sun's aspect on the 5th House shows that they will use network circles and friends to gain political leadership represented by the 5th House. The native's confidence and ego comes from making connections with influential people, otherwise they feel weak and unimportant. A debilitated Sun makes one follow the wrong crowd and network circle in the 11th House, through which the 5th House aspect would also be affected. They would give poor advice to their children and pursue the wrong academic education that may not be useful. Relationships with their children would also suffer due to dominance and involvement in the wrong crowd. There would be a tremendous lack of confidence when dealing with a huge audience or social event. Their frustration will negatively impact their home, children, education, and creative expression of the 5th House.

72

The Sun in the 12th House aspects the 6th House. In the 12th House, the Sun loses his power. Why? Because the 12th House is the house of losses, and the Sun is king. This means the Sun loses his throne or is ousted from the kingdom in the 12th House. Knowing the 12th House represents losses, moksha, spirituality, foreign lands, hospitals, and jails, we can determine how the Sun will act. The Sun is our personality, our identity, and our virtue. The Sun in the 12th House shows a loss of identity. One finds their ego and confidence in foreign places or in isolation. This can be the case for a foreign government diplomat. The Sun's aspect on the 6th House shows that one will deal with enemies, disease, and obstacles while in foreign lands or places of isolation. If the Sun is exalted, or in a good position in its own sign, it can show one who manages to deal with obstacles effectively. The 6th House aspect shows that for one to find their self worth, confidence, and balanced ego, they must dive into everyday work. They can help social groups overcome obstacles with their leadership qualities. They must be a good employee in the private or government sector in order to enjoy life in foreign places, or places of peace. A debilitated Sun, especially between 5-12 degrees Libra, can show many problems with the government and authority, which can land the native’s father in jail. If they have a weak Sun, they will wander in foreign lands without the ability to find their identity and value until age 35. The native may have had to move to a foreign place due to conflicts with one's own father, as the 6th House aspect depicts that their father might have become the enemy.

They will remain victorious over their enemies as Saturn slows the pace down of any sudden events, including death. They live up until their mid 80's.

Saturn brings reality to marriage, and responsibility maintains the relationship.

176

who dominates their younger sibling and asks too much of them. If Saturn is debilitated, it may create differences as well. Saturn aspect on 9th, 1st, and 4th House:

Saturn in the 7th House aspects the 9th, 1st and 4th House. The 7th house represents marriage, legal partnerships, and other people. Saturn gains directional strength because marriage and partnerships are about work, discipline, and organization between two parties that are committed through thick and thin. Saturn brings about a strong bond between a couple or business partners. In the house of other people, Saturn brings generosity and care towards the public, and one becomes a lovable public figure. If Saturn is not exalted, or in his own sign of Aquarius, then marriage will occur late in life or with someone much older than the native. Saturn is known as the planet of rank, and in the 7th House, the native looks for a spouse who can elevate them. The nature of the spouse depends upon the lordship of the 7th House. Marriage will be more of a business venture than about falling in love. The spouse will be organized, disciplined, and maybe more hardworking than the native.

177

Saturn in the 7th House aspects the 9th House of higher learning, gurus, teachers, father's teachings, long distance travel, religion, and rituals. Saturn's 3rd aspect shows that one will have to work hard to maintain a sound relationship with their teachers and gurus. A lot of work is required in order to be accepted into a university or be part of a religion establishment. The native may be rejected repeatedly until their application is accepted. There might be a strict teaching technique used by one’s father which enables them to function in a disciplined and organized way in the world. Saturn in the 7th House aspects the 1st House of self, personality, physical body, and health. The native is greatly affected by others, and only meets disciplined, organized, older people, unless Saturn is debilitated. Saturn brings people who influence the native's personality and perception of life. They are absolute workaholics, which may lead to chronic health ailments like bone or joint pain. The native needs to work hard just so others won't criticize them of laziness. The body is greatly impacted by the burden of responsibility from marriage and business partnerships. They are so involved in bettering the lives of others that they forget about their own health and vitality. The ego can be weakened by criticism and responsibility in life. Saturn in the 7th House aspects the 4th House of mother, land, home, conveniences, and peace of mind. This aspect of Saturn creates a professional mother who could be a school dean or teacher. There is a great responsibility towards one’s mother. They have trouble understanding emotions due to lack of nourishment from her because of her intense professional life. The home is more business-like, where discipline and structure prevail. This aspect also brings an opportunity to build one’s own home in life. The 4th House brings about peace of mind, and this is where Saturn can bring stress due to marriage and parental responsibility. If Saturn and its depositor are well placed, there is more structure than stress.

178

Saturn aspect on 10th, 2nd, and 5th House:

Saturn in the 8th House aspects the 10th, 2nd and 5th House. The 8th House represents death, rebirth, transformation, surgeries, sudden events, and secrets. Saturn, being the karaka of death, controls one's destiny and slows down the process. One has a very long life but may feel they are always in danger. That's simply because Saturn in the 8th House invokes such emotions and energy. Saturn is forced to take responsibility of sudden transformations and fluctuations. The native is tested often when dealing with death. It's a great position for professions like an emergency room physician or ambulance driver. Saturn is the karaka of fear and anxiety, so these emotions arise from death related scenarios. If the native realizes this in their horoscope, then fear is just an illusion caused by a planet. The good side of the placement comes with married life. Saturn maintains marriage and relations with in-laws in a very traditional and conservative way. The 8th House is also the house of occult, oil, coal, and things buried underground. Saturn gives a natural inclination towards healing through the occult, mining, and drilling.

179

Saturn in the 8th House aspects the 10th House of reputation, career, status, government, and father. Saturn from the 8th House shows fluctuations with one's relationship with their father if there is no positive aspect on the 10th House. Saturn, the master of routine, constantly battles their workplace, and deals with transformations through career and status. They need motivation in order to make it professionally, and they are disciplined and organized when it comes to work. They dig deep in order to learn and master the politics of their profession. In order to gain status and climb the ladder of success, they must overcome their own demons, and manage secrets that are hidden beneath the surface. This aspect makes one very mechanical in the oil, mining, and coal business. It also can make a native a secret service operative or an administrator. Saturn in the 8th House aspects the 2nd House of wealth, family, assets, food, drinks, family history, speech, and culture. This aspect shows one will go through fluctuations with their family, and dramatic events transform the native's life. There is stability towards maintaining a savings and protecting assets, and there will be a slow and steady rise in wealth. They fear losing wealth or family assets, which leads them to keep their gains hidden. Saturn in the 8th House aspects the 5th House of children, creativity, education, and speculative business. Saturn's aspect shows that one wants to control their children, and increase their status through them. The initial stages of child rearing bring fear. Saturn also makes the native struggle in pursuit of their undergraduate degree. They may go through a sudden transformation in their academic field; maybe a surprise acceptance to a prestigious university, or suddenly losing their scholarship. These fluctuations are slowed down by Saturn, so there are fewer ups and downs, but all the good and bad periods last for a long time. There is great responsibility on behalf of their children, and creativity is halted with this burden.

180

Saturn aspect on the 11th, 3rd, and 6th House:

Saturn in the 9th House aspects the 11th, 3rd, and 6th House. The 9th House represents priests, gurus, teachers, higher learning, education, religious studies, philosophy, and long distance travel. Saturn in the 9th House restricts higher knowledge and receiving wisdom through gurus. Saturn limits broad thinking in the native and wants to maintain habits. In the 9th House, one tends to perform religious actions on a daily basis. The higher spiritual and philosophical mind is developed by one’s mid 30's because of the boundaries of reality set by Saturn. One tends to criticize their gurus, universities, and even their father's teachings. This position, without any positive aspect from Jupiter or Mercury, can obstruct the native from achieving advanced degrees. If one grows up in a religious family, then there is a tremendous amount of responsibility regarding rituals. The 9th house represents the father's teaching, not the relationship with him. A native may have been restricted in receiving their father's guidance due to work and long distance travel. Saturn in the 9th House aspects the 11th House of gains, profits, network circles, and hopes. This aspect shows that one will have to 181

use their willpower and effort to maintain gains and relationships. Saturn aspects delay making friends and creating network circles which help the individual excel at work. If Saturn is in Aquarius and Libra, then there is less delay. Growth is slow and steady in maintaining gains in life, which usually occurs after age 36. Motivation is needed to maintain all things related to the 11th House, including good relationships with elder siblings. The 3rd aspect is about your effort willpower, and motivation. Income can be attained through religious activity and preaching to unprivileged people.

Saturn can give chronic joint problems in old age, especially if Saturn's mahadasha comes into play in their 40's or 50's. It also protects them from heavy debt and helps maintain marriage as he blocks the process of divorce and

182

disagreements. This is a great place for government service, and the service industry in general. Saturn aspect on 12th, 4th, and 7th House:

Saturn in the 10th House aspects the 12th, 4th and 7th House. The 10th House represents status, reputation, government, career, father, and fame. In the 10th House, Saturn feels comfortable as it originally rules the 10th House of Capricorn. This placement brings a great work ethic along with tremendous discipline and organization skills. One loves routine jobs. There is a possibility of working in the steel, oil, and mining industry. The status of the native grows slowly but steadily in their profession and social life, unless there is an aspect of Jupiter; then it will excel the process of moving up the ranks. Saturn makes one adore the reputation that comes with higher status and climbing the ladder. They focus on their career more than anything else. There is a possibility of working for the government, preferably behind the scenes. There is a sense of social duty, and performing good deeds publicly, unless Saturn is debilitated. In this case, one will run away from social responsibility and may even cheat their way to the top because they do not want work. One’s father brings about great 183

responsibility, and the relationship is strict and fear based. He also infuses organization skills and discipline in the native. Fame does not come easy, nor do they desire it; unless there are other planets sitting in the 10th House, or aspects the 10th House. Saturn in the 10th House aspects the 12th House of privacy, imagination, jails, hospitals, foreign lands, spirituality, expenses, and multi-national companies. The native needs to take initiative in order to have mental peace and pleasure in bed because the 12th House also represents our private sexual life. The native is more interested in behind the scenes work. However, the native is forced to be in the spotlight due to the demanding position Saturn brings, like public office for the local, state, or federal government. Saturn in the 10th House aspects the 4th House. The 4th House represents home, mother, land, homeland, childhood and conveniences. This aspect of Saturn brings about a very strict environment at home. There is lack of nourishment and love from the mother, who demanded structure, discipline, and organization. She is a conservative figure who hardly has fun, unless the Moon is sitting with Mercury or Venus in a good sign. For these reasons, the native usually prefers to be at work and outside of the house. There is also a delay in purchasing a home. Saturn's need to devote full attention at work slowly brings enough gains to build a home. Saturn in the 10th House aspects the 7th House of spouse, marriage, and legal partnerships. Saturn’s aspect means one will look for a spouse who can increase their social and financial status. This brings about a very professional, mature, and disciplined spouse who is less about romance, and more about maintaining the marriage and a stable home environment. There are additional responsibilities after marriage, but it increases their status unless Saturn is debilitated. This aspect also indicates that one will get married after the age of 28, perhaps between 28-35 years of age.

184

Saturn’s aspect on the 7th House of other people, including family, brings about responsibility in public life. One must be aware of their public behavior because if inappropriate, Saturn will punish them for it. Saturn aspect on 1st, 5th and 8th House:

Saturn in the 11th House aspects the 1st, 5th and 8th House. The 11th House represents gains, network circles, elder siblings, and large organizations. Saturn feels comfortable in the original house of Aquarius, as Aquarius is the 11th sign of the zodiac. Saturn likes to create structure for large organizations, and help make many corporate events happen to benefit society. One must work hard for profit, and have a large network circle. Saturn makes the native disciplined towards working in large organizations and gaining from their resources. Saturn performs well 80% of the time when in Libra, Capricorn and Aquarius. In the rest of the signs, it becomes an obstacle and brings more responsibility. One may not have an elder sibling if Saturn is in the 11th House, or there will be great burden and responsibility from the elder sibling. This placement can isolate the native from their network circle, and they may not find happiness outside their professional life. 185

Saturn in the 11th House aspects the 1st House of self, personality, physical body, and health. This aspect makes one hard working, disciplined, patient, and well organized. In other signs besides Libra, Aquarius, and Capricorn, the native finds a way to organize life except when Saturn is debilitated. A strong work ethic is required to achieve financial goals.

This aspect brings responsibility from having children, and one's creativity may be blocked due to their workload. Saturn doesn't block speculative gains if Saturn is in a friendly sign. Saturn will give slow and steady growth in stocks, sports betting, and other type of speculative business. The native may be less inclined towards creativity or performing arts. If Saturn is in the sign of Venus, then they will be pushed into the entertainment business. This aspect will delay children and make education difficult if there is no aspect of Jupiter or Mercury on the 5th House. One will encounter cold breaks ups in romance, even if Saturn is in a good sign. This is due to Saturn's natural malefic nature. Saturn in the 11th House also aspects the 8th House of death, rebirth, sudden events, accidents, surgeries, in-laws and occult. This aspect of Saturn limits joint assets with the spouse in the early stages of marriage, but increases after age 38. Saturn also slows down the effect of fluctuations, and suppresses the negative effects of the 8th House. They have a long life but may suffer from chronic illnesses. There will be secret meetings with in-laws, and hidden assets. The relationship with in-laws is distant no matter how well Saturn is placed because Saturn concentrates on suppressing the houses he aspects. During Saturn's mahadasha, one will gain through secret dealings, occult, and the government.

186

Saturn is interested in the occult science, especially when in the sign of Jupiter or in the nakshatra of Ketu. Saturn aspect on 2nd, 6th, and 9th House:

The 12th House represents spirits, other realms, spirituality, spiritual places, isolated places, wandering in foreign lands, jails, hospitals, asylums, and expenses. Saturn in the 12th House blocks the imagination and spiritual life until age 35. It restricts obtaining spiritual knowledge unless there are other planets present in the 12th House. One also finds that their sex life is restricted by some unknown psychological factor. Their spiritual values are set in stone, and one will routinely follow them without anyone disturbing the flow. Saturn brings frustration through meditation and spiritual practice. This placement also brings loss of identity in foreign lands. If one moves to a foreign country, they will suffer from this until their mid 30's. A debilitated Saturn can also land someone in jail due to stealing family assets or other criminal activity.

187

Saturn in the 12th House aspects the 2nd House of family, wealth, savings, family assets, speech, and food. One is cautious when dealing with money or assets of the family. They do not to make foolish investments and are very frugal. Saturn here also separates the native from their family for certain durations. They either move to foreign lands or to a spiritual school. If Saturn is in a tough sign or conjunction, then one will spend more than they make. They will run up credit cards and become bankrupt. This also brings a delay in saving money until the age of 35, after which Saturn will release the native from its karmic bondage. There is also family responsibility from an early age. Saturn in the 12th House aspects the 6th House of debts, enemies, diseases, disagreements, divorces, and small animals. This aspect brings empathy towards those who are diseased.

Early on, one may find that their living environment is about strict spiritual principles and religious activities.

188

Rahu Aspects Through Houses: Why do Rahu and Ketu have 5 and 9 aspect? Rahu and Ketu are two planets that can only be controlled and suppressed by Jupiter, the ultimate super guru. Whenever Ketu or Rahu sit with Jupiter, Jupiter gives away his good side or Rahu, and makes Rahu act like him. This harms the native far less than if Rahu was with another planet. The same goes for Ketu. Many astrologers do not count this aspect, including myself. However, when I started doing consultations, there were flaws in my predictions. Based on a guru’s advice, I began analyzing this aspect and saw a dramatic improvement. Rahu (north node) aspects the 5th, 7th, and 9th place from itself. Rahu is an obsessive energy which looks to take leaps and bounds towards the future. It wants to be respected, nurtured, and showered with wealth and fame. Rahu represents foreign energy as in foreign people, objects, and places. Rahu is the illusion. It has the nature of amplifying for good and for bad. Whoever Rahu sits with, the aspect it brings is dynamic and obsessive. Whatever house Rahu aspects, the native would have to impact those houses to reap the rewards. Rahu is also known as an out of the box thinker. It is unorthodox and breaks taboos of society. I will not discuss the 7th aspect of Rahu or Ketu because opposite to either one will be the other doing its job. Seventh from Rahu will always be Ketu, and seventh from Ketu will always be Rahu. This is why the 7th aspect should only be studied when there is another planet present, otherwise the 7th aspect is very confusing. The two opposite energies are creating a black hole, phantom energy.

189

Rahu aspect on 5th and 9th House:

Rahu in the 1st House aspects the 5th, 7th, and 9th, House. In the 1st House, Rahu can be egotistical, confident, and overly ambitious if Rahu sits with the ascendant Lord, or if the ascendant Lord aspects Rahu. This position can make a native a very driven athlete, soldier, or politician. Rahu’s qualities are also presented if the ascendant Lord is strong. One tends to think of themselves as the supreme leader who deserves the best in life. Rahu is obsessed with the self even if the ascendant is damaged. Rahu in the 1st House can become revolutionary. It may not provide any discipline or intelligence because Rahu is about getting things done now. Rahu doesn't know what it means to earn something without the support of another planet or ascendant. A weak ascendant can show a very lazy and unmotivated personality that has been clouded by circumstances and imagination. Rahu in the 1st House aspects the 5th House. This aspect brings about either great obsession or disillusionment about children, politics, and education. They are inclined towards adopting children from foreign lands, or children conceived outside the 190

boundaries of society; like having children out of wedlock. In Rahu's mahadasha, one will conceive children in a very unusual way. It could be anything from artificial insemination, adopting, having a c-section birth, or a surrogate mother.

Rahu wants to have the most perfect family in society, but because of its natural malefic effect, there is a family disturbance due to death, tensions, or lack of wealth. If Mercury is with Rahu in the house of speech, the native exaggerates, lies, and swears. They love to manage money; whether it’s their own or belongs to others. This placement also separates the native from their family or homeland. Rahu makes one exaggerate their wealth. Such natives love to pretend they have money, expensive clothes, and savings, but in reality it might be the opposite. This is why Rahu is known as the illusionist. They make good public speakers by breaking social norms. Since the 2nd House is related to marriage along with the 7th house, the spouse is generally foreign.

They create wealth through enemies and people of lower realms, like criminals and drug addicts. Rahu’s aspect on the 10th House shows that one will have to make an impact on people in order to make a living.

192

and would rather live in darkness and isolation. These leaders are not bred in the establishment; they run against it. They are the whistleblowers and revolutionaries who cannot stand the status quo. The person has to face many fluctuations due to Ketu's nature of not caring for status, career, or employment. Ketu in the 10th House aspects the 2nd House. This brings dissatisfaction and misunderstanding within the home and family business. The native has no desire to deal with matters on behalf of the family. They would rather give up family assets and not burden themselves. Such people are very direct with family, and what they think of them. If Ketu has an aspect of Jupiter or is in conjunction with Jupiter, then one will try to guide the family towards charity and spiritual pursuits. They have substantial savings in the bank, and no one may know because they are unpretentious. This aspect usually prevents them from receiving family assets, and they may be detached from family early on life to make a living. Ketu in the 10th House aspects the 6th House. This aspect of Ketu brings many enemies and obstacles professionally, which is why they have career fluctuations. Ketu has no desire to deal with enemies, therefore it never cares to fight them, and surrenders easily unless Mars is present in the 6th House, which can be a deadly force. They may not have any opinion about those in poverty, and do not like small pets. Ketu is annoyed because he is forced to deal with matters of no interest. Ketu in the 10th House might be a good placement for a doctor or healer, since they are unattached to status or fame; they just want to do their service.

224

Ketu aspect on the 3rd and 7th House:

Ketu in the 3rd House aspects the 3rd and 7th House. In the 11th House, Ketu can beg for friends and network circles because they were burned in the past, and pushed people away from them. The native prefers to live an isolated life. Ketu does not prevent gains, and the native gains much in life. However, they feel empty due to lack of support from friends. One has a very turbulent relationship with elder siblings who distance themselves from the native. They feel they have no friends, and don’t need friends to survive. They do not want any leadership roles in large organizations. The native has no desires for material gain; which is why they acquire the most in life. Ketu in the 11th House aspects the 3rd House. Ketu’s aspect brings complete dissatisfaction from media, journalism, and artistic pursuits. They are disconnected from the media and their own artistic skills. Ketu brings no attachment to such things, and this is why they may pursue media and performing arts in a way that many would reject. There is also an awkward relationship with younger siblings. The native has no connection with their neighbors, and if they do, they fight over very small things. 225

Ketu in the 11th House aspects the 7th House. This aspect of Ketu may bring many disappointments in marriage and legal partnerships. The native is incapable of attachment due to bad experiences in friendships and network circles. They don’t trust their network and they do not trust their spouses. This aspect brings very awkward situations with one’s spouse, which sometimes ruins the reputation of the native in public life, as the 7th House represents the masses. One will always find some dissatisfaction which will quickly push them away. Ketu aspect on the 4th and 8th House:

Ketu in the 12th House aspects the 4th and 8th House. Ketu in the 12th House is perhaps one of the most positive and influential positions in a birth chart. Ketu is like a final puzzle piece. The 12th House is the final resting place of the soul which passes from the material world into the spiritual world of other dimensions. Ketu in the 12th House make the native feel most comfortable and attached to spiritual and isolated places. One has already mastered the art of spirituality in previous lives, whereas this life is about using psychic intuition to defeat enemies and overcome obstacles. This 226

placement is about finishing last minute business with adversaries, paying off debts, and charitable donations to the poor. They are natural philanthropists. The subconscious mind guides them in the right direction. Although their artistic vision and imagination might be blocked, they still know what has to be accomplished to follow a spiritual path. Ketu in the 12th House aspects the 4th House. Ketu's aspect from the 12th House means one had a spiritual upbringing at home. Although things were simple, there was never great attachment to the home or homeland. One’s mother was a major spiritual influence in life, and showed the native how to improve their intuition. This aspect can detach the native from the mother or home at an early age due to their spiritual or artist pursuits. They can move to any place and call it home. They always tend to leave home during their Ketu mahadasha, and permanently settle in foreign lands or have the spiritual life of a yogi. Ketu in the 12th aspects the 8th House. This aspect of Ketu on the 8th House shows that one is aware of the process of death and reincarnation, and is not bothered by it. They have a sense of completion in life, where the 8th House becomes a 3 dimensional game of this realm. Ketu is the natural karaka of occult knowledge, and when it aspects the house of occult, they have a natural gift of guiding people through special powers like psychic vision, touch healing, astrology, tarot, or mind reading. Ketu is about detachment, which means the native may have a distant relationship with in-laws and assets through marriage. In the 12th House, Ketu finally becomes a guide for those who are fearful of sudden events like death and surgeries. Ketu eases the pain of others.

Alternative Ascendant perspective:

227

When you judge aspects of planets from a certain house. Do not just use your ascendant as the avenue of seeing what the planet and its aspect is doing. Look at the aspects from different ascendants. According to Prashara there are 3 very important ascendants. 1. Lagna (your rising sign) 2. Moon Lagna (Putting your moon as the ascendant) 3. Sun Lagna (Putting Sun as your ascendant lord) Example (1)

228

Example (2)

Example (3)

By look at chart from different perspective you can see the result of aspects more clearly. 229

If you want to know whether or not you will have a child of your own. In such a situation you will look towards the 5th house condition, 5th lord and karaka of 5th house (Jupiter). If You have Mars and Saturn in the 5th house from lagna without any aspect from Jupiter or other natural benefic planets, one might think you do not have a chance for children. But if you looked at the same chart from the Moon lagna, Jupiter might aspect the 5th house or might be placed in the 5th house blessing the 5th house. A positive aspect from Venus, Moon, Mercury and Jupiter is necessary to see the birth of a child, whether from lagan placement or aspect or alternative lagna placement. You will use the same method in divisional charts. If you are looking for indication for the timing of children then you will look towards the D7 chart as in Saptamsa chart. You will again try to see if Jupiter and other positive or natural benefic planets aspect or sit in the 5th house. Even when judging the effects of planetary mahadasha, you will always use alternative ascendants. Because in my own research planet seem to give very strong results from Moon lagna more than even main lagna chart. Sun ascendant is used very last or as the 3rd alternative, but first two are the most important.

230

Mutual Aspects between Planets: What are Mutual Aspects? Mutual aspects are when two planets are looking directly at each other, as most do when they are opposite each other, or are 7 houses apart. Example 1:

Jupiter and Saturn are both looking at each other. This is a classic example of mutual aspects. They are both infusing their qualities upon each other. What does it really mean to have this mutual aspect in astrology? The way to read this is by looking at them individually. When you are judging how Saturn is doing, you can see Saturn is in the 4th House in the sign of Libra, and Jupiter is in the 10th House in the sign of Aries. 1. You should know what Saturn is and what Saturn is doing. 231

2. You should know What Saturn in the 4th House means. 3. You should know what Saturn in Libra means. Combine the first 3 together. Once you have done that, you should add the qualities of Jupiter upon Saturn. This means you should add positions and optimistic qualities upon Saturn. When trying to judge Jupiter's situation in the chart: 1. You should know what Jupiter means is in astrology. 2. You should know what Jupiter in the 10th House means. 3. You should know what Jupiter in the sign of Aries means. After knowing what Jupiter is doing in the chart, add the element of Jupiter aspect upon Jupiter. Saturn is a natural malefic; a planet that brings strictness, discipline, organization, and structure upon things, including delay. Jupiter in the 10th House makes career advancement difficult, and no one is going to spoon feed the native with status. In Jupiter's time period, one will have to work hard and long hours with tremendous discipline to achieve career success. The sheer optimism and luck of Jupiter won't help this time because Jupiter's final results are being affected by the aspect of Saturn. If you want to go deeper, you can see Saturn rules the 7th and 8th House in the horoscope, which means the native will face career fluctuations, and many transformations in life to advance their career. Saturn’s aspect also shows that one's home will influence discipline and hard work, including their spouse. Career success will be delayed and will be frustrating because Jupiter in the 10th House makes the native think they can easily achieve anything in life, but Saturn brings them back to reality. Since Saturn is exalted in Libra, their success will be eminent, and the native could revolutionize their industry. Example 2:

232

Mutual aspect between Saturn and Mars. Mars and Saturn have unique special aspects without being directly opposite to each other. They can aspect each other like examples 2B and 2C. Example 2B:

In Example 2B, Mars with his 4th aspect looks at the 7th House where Saturn is placed, and Saturn in the 7th House aspects Mars

233

with the 10th House in the 4th House. This is another example of mutual aspect, as they both can see each other. Example 2C:

Mars and Saturn are looking at each other with their 4th and 10th aspect, but they also have parivartan yoga between them as they are sitting in each other's sign. This is a very strong mutual aspect.

Example 2 (Repeated):

234

How would you study this? Again, we have to judge the planets individually. Saturn and Mars are perhaps the most destructive mutual aspects. Saturn is the karaka of oil, and Mars is the karaka of fire. When oil and fire meet, they create a massive fire and explosion. This mutual aspect becomes a warzone because a battle is happening between the two. Mars aspect on Saturn makes Saturn aggressive and forceful about discipline and organization within the home. There is a military environment designed by both parents. Saturn's aspect upon Mars shows that Mars' action will be disciplined and organized to fight any kind of battle. In the end, this can also be a blessing for a fighter, politician, or corporate executive because they know the art of war and how each battle is won. If you are going to judge any aspect of Mars or Saturn, you will still apply this theory. Mars in the 10th House aspects the 5th House, but Mars is also being molded by the aspect of Saturn. Now, you would read Mars aspect upon the 5th house with a bit more detail. Mars’ aspect not only shows aggressive and competitive behavior towards children, but Mars also wants to apply discipline and hard work towards their children. They may even physically abuse children in order to perfect them. The 5th 235

House represents education, and this can show that one will chose a very technical field like engineering or architecture, as both Saturn and Mars are the karakas of land. Before jumping to a conclusion of what the aspect is doing, you have to see what aspect that particular planet is receiving, and whose aspect you are trying to judge. Notice the yoga that is being formed. Mars and Saturn both are in panch mahapurush yoga, as Mars is in his own sign in Kendra, and Saturn is exalted in Kendra. Mars is also forming ruchika yoga. The mutual aspect between these two yogas are extremely good for a career in real estate, government, military, and sports. In the mahadasha and antar dasha of Saturn and Mars, one will suddenly gain professional success. Example 2C (Repeated):

This particular chart has two special events happening: a mutual aspect and parivartan yoga. How would you read this? First we see that Saturn is debilitated in Aries, while Mars is exalted in Capricorn. A neecha banga raja yoga occurring, which is the cancellation of debilitation. Saturn is receiving the support of Mars, or of males including one’s spouse to uplift their career. In terms of parivartan yoga, the native deals with other people well, 236

including their spouse. They are content with their public image, unless their career didn't go as planned. Then the native immediately calls upon their male friends and masses to help them get back on track. Since Saturn and Mars aspect each other with their 4th and 10th aspect, it shows one will be very aggressive and assertive when dealing with others. They have a straightforward, military approach to their life and the lives of others. Besides the neecha banga of Saturn which helps the native, it's actually strong planets in the sign of planets which are debilitated that really makes a difference. Even if Jupiter is present in the 7th House beside Mars, it would still help the native since Jupiter is sitting in Saturn's sign, Capricorn. Although Jupiter is debilitated in Capricorn, it provides natural positive support. If Mars is in Capricorn and Jupiter in Aquarius, there would be a much stronger point of Saturn's support system. I will share the meaning of basic mutual aspects between planets. Remember, mutual aspects don't have a single meaning. You have to look at each planet individually and see what aspects from other planets are doing. You also have to see the planet that's affecting the aspect. Which house does it control? Is it a functional malefic or functional benefic? Is it a natural malefic or natural benefic? Below we have some examples of functional malefic, but mainly it's basic mutual aspects. RAHU/KETU AXIS Both Rahu and Ketu are looking at any planet that is in conjunction with them, which can create a tug of war between two extreme energies. This is why you have to be careful when drawing a conclusion about this mutual aspect. Along with a mutual aspect, a conjunction is occurring. This is why I didn't give you the 7th aspect, or Rahu and Ketu through houses. After the Sun and Moon, I will not do mutual aspects of Rahu and Ketu

237

because this axis will mainly give the result of the conjunction and a piece of the 7th aspect of each planet. There are no mutual aspects between Sun, Venus and Mercury since they are always within 48 degrees of each other. SUN- MOON - When the Sun and Moon have a mutual aspect in any house, it means that you were born on a full moon, unless of course the Moon's degree has crossed the Sun's, which means it's a waning moon, yet the effects of a bright moon are always present. This exchange of two energies shows that the mind and soul are connected, and the ego is not easily affected. The Moon's bright light means one can shine upon this planet due to their career choices because the Sun is the karaka of career. Their ego and confidence is content, and they are not shy about performing in front of others. The native's mother is greatly affected by the father. Both parents will be involved in the native's upbringing, and their emotional and psychological state. It also reflects that one's emotions are greatly impacted by the opinion of others. Their ego relies upon the approval of their parents and other people. SUN- MARS - When the Sun and Mars have a mutual aspect, it can create a forceful, aggressive, and assertive personality. They are confident and hot headed. Often, this aspect makes someone work in uniform, like the police, military, a judge, or sports athlete. Mars represents lands, and the Sun shows authority and government. With this mutual aspect, one will acquire government property during the maha and antar dasha of such planets. The father becomes a major authority figure in life, and may even physically discipline the native. There is a major power struggle with oneself and what their father is trying to teach them. If this aspect occurs between 1st and 7th, 2nd and 8th, or 12th and 6th, one will have to take anger management classes. The ego becomes

238

inflated and action oriented, and the native has too much authoritative power. SUN- JUPITER – The mutual aspect between Jupiter and the Sun creates an ego that has a soft, spiritual side. One has great respect and understanding of culture, religion, and philosophy. They tend to become a preacher and teacher in life to everyone they meet, and their personality is about following the right path. This aspect makes the native interested in the field of government law, since the Sun is government, and Jupiter represents the law. The native could use their knowledge to help govern the society. One’s father becomes a great teacher and coach. No matter where Jupiter aspects the Sun, there is always an optimistic feeling within the native, and their confidence is never at risk. Both the Sun and Jupiter are the karaka of spirituality, and if they happen to have a mutual aspect in the 1st and 7th, 12th and 6th, or 3rd and 9th, they will be interested in a spiritual path and preaching. SUN- SATURN - Saturn is our work ethic and the Sun is our personality and ego. This mutual aspect can bring duty towards the houses where this mutual aspect is occurring. Although these two are enemies, they still stand for the right things in life and are conservative. They feel that everyone needs to be responsible for their own actions. In a way, they are your typical conservative republican. They believe in hard work and making things happen through taking initiative. This is a strong position for a government worker or corporate leader. The father of the native is disciplined, organized, and structured, and would expect the same from the native. Saturn is a cold planet, which means the relationship with one’s father is similar to a general or soldier. SUN- RAHU - The mutual aspect of the Sun and Rahu can either be extremely good or bad. Rahu amplifies things and expands

239

them out of proportion. The good side of Rahu shines when the Sun is exalted, or in his own sign of Leo. The bad side occurs when the Sun is debilitated, or in an enemy sign like Taurus, Capricorn, or Aquarius. If the Sun is strong, then one's ego is expanded, and they feel they can achieve anything. They usually have an extroverted personality. The relationship with their father is friendly, and he could be a government diplomat, businessman, or a stage performer. If the Sun is weak, then one's father was absent due to foreign travel, or simply walked out of the native's life. Under these circumstances, the native becomes shy, introverted, and lacks confidence. The father becomes critical of the native, and always finds flaws. SUN-KETU – The Sun and Ketu mutual aspect work exactly like the Sun and Rahu mutual aspect. If the Sun is strong, or exalted in his own sign, then Ketu will provide spirituality in life. If the Sun is debilitated or in an enemy sign, then one faces cruelty in their life. If a strong and exalted Sun receives an aspect from Ketu, then one will have a spiritual relationship with their father and their personality is less about ego. They extend their hand in spiritual and religious activities. If the Sun is debilitated and weak, then one's father could be absent in life, or the native may experience physical or sexual abuse from the father. They always think about violence and destruction and may even turn into a criminal. MOON- MERCURY - This mutual aspect can be quite black and white depending upon which planet is stronger. Mercury is logic, business, and calculation, while the Moon is intuition, emotions, and feelings. This can make someone either too logical or too emotional about their decisions. If the Moon is in Scorpio and Mercury is in Taurus, that means the Moon is debilitated and Mercury is in a strong earth-friendly sign. How would we read this? When we try to analyze the Moon, we see that though the Moon is debilitated, there is still solid logical thinking. There is less emotional impact of their surroundings, and their valuable possessions have meaning. In a way, the Moon is being saved by

240

Mercury. If we try to study Mercury, we can see the irrational and emotional Moon looking at Mercury. This shows that one's logic and calculative thinking can be impacted by emotional and impulsive decisions. They might be attached to their valuables which can suddenly be lost. Their educational pursuits might be very intense to the point of psychologically impacting them. MOON- VENUS – The Moon and Venus mutual aspect can show one's thought process and emotional stability revolves around luxury, assets, art, and beauty. The native's emotions and feelings are now mixed with sensuality and creativity. The mind craves fine food and dining, along with luxury in life. In a negative sense, this can make the native snobbish and extravagant. They may overspend, as the mind becomes greedy for material wealth. The relationships of the native are mainly based on feelings and emotions. They can fall in and out of love quickly as the Moon becomes fickle minded. Creativity can make the person very passionate about singing, acting, and performing arts. If the Moon is debilitated, then the mind will be very sexual, and will crave lewd acts. They form relationships with ill minded people, and may be too rational in love matters and relationships. They choose partners based on security and appearance. MOON- MARS – The Mutual aspect between Mars and the Moon can be very powerful. If Mars is exalted, and the Moon is in its own sign of Cancer, the native is driven, and will do whatever it takes to find success in life. They are very action oriented people who are engaged in sports and physical activity on a regular basis. The mind is constantly active, and thinks about how to keep the body physically fit. On the negative side, this can create anger in a person if Mars is debilitated. They can be impulsive about many things, especially in this house, where the Moon is placed. They get into physical fights with others about small matters, and can even commit criminal acts.

241

MOON- JUPITER - This can be a beautiful mutual aspect. The mind receives positive vibrations and hope for the future through Jupiter. Knowing the Moon and Jupiter are best friends, the mind is always looking at the brighter side of life. They can go through any kind of bad circumstances, and always find a way to smile and be happy. Jupiter expands the quality of planets so that it aspects in a positive way. There are always good and bad sides of the equation. If the Moon is debilitated or waning, then Jupiter can bring expansion of emotions. If the native becomes too emotional, they may suffer from depression. If Jupiter is debilitated, then there could be a sudden loss or gain of peace of mind. Such sudden fluctuations can be very daunting for the native. The native has a beautiful relationship with their mother in most circumstances. She can also be a guru or life teacher. MOON- SATURN – The mutual aspect between Saturn and the Moon can be quite stressful on the Moon. The mind wants to think positively and be free, whereas Saturn is about boundaries, restrictions, delays, and cold reality. Such an aspect can bring a pessimistic attitude about achieving goals. They have dark thoughts, and are constantly depressed because the mind does not feel free. Saturn also represents social welfare and taking care of the elderly. This aspect can make the native fight for social freedom and privileges in society. They love routine work, and may not like taking on too many challenges on a regular basis. The mind faces disappointments in life, and one builds their discipline and organization skills by learning from these situations. If the Moon is debilitated, then it can make someone manic depressive or suicidal. One must also look at the nakshatra. If Saturn is debilitated, then the mind is scattered and disorganized, and their work makes them lethargic. The mind can also be very cold towards others because Saturn latches onto one thing, and will not rest until it is attained.

242

MOON -RAHU and MOON - KETU - A mutual aspect of Rahu and the Moon can be problematic because there was a lunar eclipse happening during the time when the native was born. Rahu can make someone an innovator or revolutionary when it aspects the mind, or Moon. If the Moon is exalted or in its own sign, then one's emotional stability expands, and they will think outside the box. They may bring new or foreign elements into their thought process. However, the Rahu and Moon conjunction is better than aspect because if Rahu aspects the Moon, that means Ketu is in conjunction with the Moon. This creates a tug of war. Most of the time, Rahu and Ketu aspect and conjunction make the native hallucinate and have panic attacks. They may detach the native from their mother or homeland. Ketu aspect upon the Moon can bring confusion and dissatisfaction from one's mother. The native can also suffer from autism or some other mental condition. An exalted Moon in aspect with Ketu can bring great spiritual teachings through their mother, and one will be a natural psychic. MERCURY- MARS - Mercury is speech, communication, business, language, and education. When Mars aspects Mercury, one’s speech is quite powerful and direct. They are also very mechanical and technical people because Mercury is about working with one’s hands, and Mars puts more action into them. Depending upon which house this mutual aspect is occurring in, the results will correlate. One has no problem defining orders of authority verbally. When Mars receives Mercury's aspect, one's actions are very calculative and logical. They make sound decisions, and are clever enough to win battles. In their youth, the native plays many sports, and may love martial arts if this mutual aspect occurs in the 3rd and 9th, 12th and 6th, or 10th and 4th house. They love engineering and computer programming, as it is second nature to them. MERCURY- JUPITER- This mutual aspect brings a great deal of information and knowledge. They are quite smart, clever, and have many academic achievements. When we talk about Mercury in

243

astrology, the communication and speech of the native is very articulate, intellectual, and full of philosophical ideas. They are always willing to guide others, as they believe their intelligence is superior. They make great mathematicians, accountants, writers, and even businessmen. Mercury’s aspect on Jupiter shows that one's higher beliefs are tools of communication and learning. Ideas about religion must be practical and easy to implement in order to better the world. When they write, a sense of higher spiritual knowledge comes through. They make great communicative teachers. MERCURY- SATURN – The mutual aspect of Mercury and Saturn is positive. Mercury and Saturn are friends, so their aspect will help the native. When Saturn aspects Mercury, one has a logical mind and can focus on their studies. They are able to withstand all types of challenges to achieve success in business. One has a very strict, formal, and conservative way of communicating. They are very organized when it comes to collecting data, ideas, or problem solving. Mercury's aspect on Saturn will make Saturn's skill of discipline and organization more relaxed. They won't take themselves as seriously because Mercury makes life about more than a routine job. The discipline and organization skills of Saturn will have a communicative feel. They share their ideas with others about how to make things happen. Saturn is a natural malefic, and an aspect upon the karaka of speech could delay the speaking ability of the native. It may give them ill speech and the capacity to lie if Saturn is in a bad house and sign, or rules a negative house. VENUS- MARS - Mars and Venus can create a very intense mutual aspect. When Mars aspects Venus, one's ambition for relationships are intensified, and passion and romance becomes more sexual than sensual. These people have quite a high sex drive, and seek physical interaction more than verbal communication because Mars is the planet of action more than thought. When it comes to relationships, they can be quite

244

impulsive, jumping from one to the next until they find that perfect physical match. When Venus is looking at Mars, their actions are derived from love and passion. The action of the native becomes more artistic and sensual. They are quite feminine in their approach to life. If Mars and Venus are both retrograde at the same time, it can make someone gay, as the roles of both Mars and Venus are reversed. If either is debilitated, it can show a sexual deviant or someone who has made a habit of extramarital affairs. One can be physically attacked during sexual relations if Venus is debilitated and in the 8th House. VENUS- JUPITER – A Venus and Jupiter mutual aspect can rarely be negative unless they rule 6th, 8th or 12th House. Even though they are considered enemies, they are still the natural benefics in astrology. In other words, two saints won't damage each other, but rather change each other's outlook. When Jupiter aspects Venus, the native's sense of pleasure and lust in relationships takes on a higher form. They do not fall in love easily because their values and standards have now risen to a different level. Until they have a spiritual and philosophical connection with someone, they may not get involved. Venus receives high morals from Jupiter, who shows that love and relationships are not only based physical attraction, but also an inner soul connection. They enjoy classical music, art, and movies, as they bring a sense of value. Venus’ aspect on Jupiter brings creativity, higher learning, and knowledge. They are able to turn the dry subjects of religion and philosophy into something enriching and fulfilling. They don’t shy away from taking the stage. As a teacher or preacher, they may enjoy managing entertainment events. Such mutual aspects can also make someone a great stage or film director. VENUS- SATURN - The mutual aspect of Venus and Saturn is a double edged sword. When Saturn shares its aspect with Venus, the ability to form relationships becomes a bit cold and delayed. Venus is the karaka of marriage, and Saturn is the delayer of things. This aspect of Saturn delays marriage to one’s late 20’s or

245

between the ages 32-36. Venus is creativity and Saturn is work. This mutual aspect gives Venus tremendous creativity and ability to work vigorously towards an artistic career. When Venus aspects Saturn, it shows that one loves routine work. The person forms relationships with older and more mature people who are stable and content. They appreciate law and order, and find pleasure in helping the elderly and in the non-profit sector. In some ways, their work becomes their spouse. MARS- JUPITER - The mutual aspect between Mars and Jupiter is one of an energetic warrior. When Jupiter shares his aspect with Mars, the native's action and energy has higher meaning. They become a warrior with the purpose of teaching. They want to achieve something big in their life, but it must have a philosophical and spiritual meaning. This can also make for an energized athlete or soldier. They use their energy to learn more about the divine self, and to motivate for a higher purpose. When Mars aspects Jupiter, one can be a forceful and tough teacher. They become powerful coaches, because it requires tough love and guidance to make a good athlete. Jupiter is about the law and Mars is a soldier, which can represent a very aggressive criminal lawyer who uses his energy and forcefulness to win cases. When it comes to higher wisdom, Jupiter may be too impulsive to fall for many gurus. MARS- SATURN - This mutual aspect is the one to watch out for. It can be equally good and bad at the same time. Mars is fire and Saturn is oil. When fire and oil mix, there is a massive explosion. Such mutual aspects can create a power struggle and a warzone in both houses. When Saturn aspects Mars, the energy of Mars is tamed, focused, disciplined, and organized. When Mars takes action, it is careful and willing to wait for the right opportunity to strike. Saturn, the mechanic, gets intertwined with engineering. Whenever these two look at each other, you have to see which is strong by sign and house placement, because whichever wins this aspect will have the most impact. In most cases, you want Saturn to win because Saturn brings patience to

246

Mars and cools him down. Fighters, athletes, and martial artists have such combinations. JUPITER-SATURN - This mutual aspect is quite mature, serious, and hard working. When Saturn shares its aspect with Jupiter, one's optimism becomes cold and more realistic. They know success in life doesn't stem from the power of attraction, but a strong work ethic. They have tremendous determination, organization, and discipline in their belief system and knowledge base. Jupiter represents the law, and Saturn is the judge. Saturn's aspect makes Jupiter judgmental, and they want balance in society. This is one of the strongest mutual aspects for a lawyer, judge, and a police officer. Jupiter’s aspect on Saturn makes one's career and sense of duty a way to find optimism. Saturn eases up on the native, and does not delay events in life. The native doesn't feel tired or aged at work because of responsibility. Overall, Saturn gets the better end of this aspect.

RAHU/KETU Special Aspects On Planets: These aspect are one sided, meaning neither Rahu nor Ketu are being affected by such aspects except when Jupiter aspects them. These aspects occur in their 5 and 9 marks. Rahu aspect on Mercury: Rahu's aspect on Mercury can be a tricky one. On one hand the native becomes a revolutionary, business savvy, and a very clever communicator. On the other hand, Rahu is a natural malefic who will do whatever it takes to gain material wealth, even if it requires deceit. Mercury is the karaka of speech and language, and Rahu makes one a pathological liar if Mercury is not exalted. They will think outside the box when it comes to business, and love learning foreign languages. Such an aspect makes one a very dramatic, spotlight 247

driven, politician. If they are writers, they break the social norm in their stories, and may write only science fiction. If one runs through the mahadasha of Mercury, they will most likely pursue education in distant lands. Rahu aspect on Venus: One is obsessed with love, relationships, and the sensual pleasures of life. Often Rahu's aspect on Venus shows sudden luxuries and wealth in life. One marries a foreigner, or someone of a different faith. They have an unusual way of forming relationships. One may get married against the wishes of their parents or society, and may only have a court marriage. If Venus is in its own sign or exalted, Rahu's aspect will be very positive. Rahu also gives an interest in the arts and performing. Their performances can break social boundaries, like acting in movies which are not socially accepted. If one becomes a singer, their lyrics will be about breaking taboos. Rahu aspect on Jupiter: Whenever Rahu aspects Jupiter with 5 or 9 aspect, Jupiter will always aspect Rahu, too. Rahu and Jupiter are not enemies. When Rahu aspects Jupiter, one's higher belief system and philosophical perspective of society moves towards breaking laws, rules, and social norms. Rahu will challenge Jupiter's belief; meaning the native does not want to take satwic knowledge as is, but needs proof to follow any of the endeavors of Jupiter. They would rather believe in a new religion, or a faith that does not coexist with the same rules and laws as the present establishment. When Jupiter aspects Rahu, it makes Rahu crave preaching towards the house where it’s placed. Rahu wants to be known as one who has divine knowledge and works hard to attain it because Jupiter shares its positive aspect on Rahu. The native usually finds gurus and teachers in foreign lands, and they complete their studies abroad or in a different state from where they were born. Rahu aspect on Saturn: Rahu's aspect on Saturn might be confusing. The native becomes obsessed with discipline, structure,

248

and organization skills. They can be specific and orderly to a point where they may suffer from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. Rahu and Saturn are both natural malefic, and bring anxiety. This aspect can create paranoia within the native, and fear of losing their focus and organizational skills. This is why they are so adamant about having everything neat and clean. Rahu loves to break the law and gain material wealth quickly, and the aspect on lawmaker Saturn does not help. The native could be forced to break the law for their own materialism, and desire to climb the ladder of status. Saturn wants to help society and the unprivileged. Rahu recognizes this, and though it wants to help, it makes the native greedy to attain wealth through such work. If Rahu is in the 12th House, and Saturn is in the 6th House, one may be caught doing illegal drug deals with the poor, or taking money from non-profit organizations. Ketu aspect on Mercury: One finds themselves disconnected with the world because they do not want to communicate. Mercury is the karaka of business, language, education, and writing. This aspect will make the native quiet, distant from the world of business, and their intelligence would be focused on the nonmaterial world. One's siblings will be distant from the native. If Ketu is exalted, then the aspect will provide spiritual intelligence and knowledge. One will communicate for the welfare of the world. But Ketu is severe, and brings sudden events like Rahu. In the mahadasha of Mercury, one could be separated from siblings and friends, and may suffer from fear, anxiety, and panic attacks. Ketu aspect on Venus: When Ketu aspects Venus, one's love for fine dining, drinking, and material wealth may bring emptiness and dissatisfaction. The native forms only spiritual relationships with others. Whenever they try to look for material or physical love in a relationship, they find themselves detached and unsatisfied. Such an aspect can also make the native a stripper or nude artist because they are unattached to relationships, love, art, and beauty. They are not insulted by others for breaking taboos. Often spiritual sages

249

have either aspect or conjunction of Ketu with Venus. Only after becoming detached from the material world will one find divine happiness. This is especially true if Venus is debilitated, or in the sign of Scorpio; two places which are very harsh for material success and relationships, yet great for spiritual life. Ketu aspect on Mars: One's action and energy levels may go down. They are not eager to take action or fight. This is different if Mars is in conjunction with Ketu, because Ketu is becoming Mars. With this aspect, Ketu does not become Mars and it brings its own qualities. Mars, the warrior and fighter, suddenly becomes uninterested in meaningless fights. The native becomes a peaceful warrior, someone who seeks to bring peace; someone who would fight for freedom of spiritual expression. There is distance and boredom through male friends and brothers. This aspect also makes one an electrical or software engineer, as Ketu shows electronics and Mars shows engineering. Mars also represents land, so if the native acquires property, they are generally dissatisfied. Ketu aspect on Jupiter: Again, like Rahu, Jupiter can also aspect Ketu if Ketu aspects Jupiter from its 5th and 9th aspect. One is unattached to gurus, traditional education, and mundane philosophical discussions. They search for isolation, and receive moksha from all religions and rituals. There is no desire to take part in religious festivals unless Jupiter is in his own sign or exalted. In this case, the native will be educated, traditional, spiritual, and intuitive. One may not have any attachment to the laws of the land and may break them; not because they are a criminal, but because they believe no man should enforce any laws upon another. Jupiter's aspect on Ketu makes Ketu believe in the power of spirit, intuition, and meditation. They are extremely peaceful, and may become teachers of yoga, astrology, or spirituality.

250

Ketu aspect on Saturn: One has no attachment to status and work. They are dissatisfied with their position in the world, and have no desire to have a job. Rather, Ketu brings fear from working and having a routine. They lack discipline and order, and all they want to do is find themselves in the jungle of authority, status, and rank. Saturn also represents order and the law. The native has fear of the law because they are on the wrong side of it, or they are cautious about breaking it. This aspect can be found in monks or in the occult world of tarot and astrology. Ketu makes one numb to their losses. Saturn can bring losses in its mahadasha, but Ketu's aspect shows that one is not attached to having losses in life, and understands karma. If such an aspect occurs while Saturn is in 6th, 8th, or 12th House, someone may be willing to break the law because they have no fear of it.

Nakshatra Parivartan yogas: (Sukshma Parivartan) This is a unique concept you may not have heard about. This is about exchange between two nakshatra lords. To even understand the most simplest things in this chapter you must know what Nakshatras are. They are the 27 constellation working behind the 12 zodiac sign, which each zodiac sign having 2 1/2 nakshatra working behind the scenes, and each nakshatra is controlled by a certain planet. I can't list everything here as I have already done that in my first book: Astrology @ The speed of light and made videos on each nakshatra on Youtube. For those who are familiar with the basics of nakshatra this will be something you will need to know. Rohini nakshatra is ruled by the Moon, while Mula is ruled by the sound node Ketu. If in your horoscope Moon is in the nakshatra of Mula and Ketu is in the nakshatra of Rohini, in such case you have what's called "Nakshatra Parivartan". There is a exchange of energy between these two planets. During the mahadasha and antar dasha of Moon and Ketu will activate each other's energy including the house 251

where they sit. If Moon is in the 2nd house that means Ketu is in the 7th house, and during their activated mahadasha the native would let go of attachment with relationships yet will suddenly find interest in other people who are on a moksha path while at the same time there would be sudden loss of savings or assets because Moon is sitting in one the most trouble nakshatra of Mula. But major loss will be felt in Ketu's mahadasha more so than Moon's mahadasha. In Moon's mahadasha the native may lose some savings by marriage, but only in period of Ketu's antar dasha. But since Marriage is the most important part of any person's life, Ketu's mahadasha would be worry some. Ketu would not only effect the 7th house but also activate the 2nd house where Moon is, which shows separation from family and mother, perhaps due to marriage or moving to foreign lands. If Jupiter was in the nakshatra of Pushya ruled by Saturn in the sign of Cancer and Saturn was in the Nakshatra ruled by Vishaka in the sign of Libra, they both are now in what is called sambandha or "Connection". If for example this took place in Cancer ascendant horoscope, that means Saturn is in the 1st house and Jupiter is in the 4th house. In each others maha and antar dasha they will activate themselves that will show one will be involved in the matter of property, land and mother related issues. Both Jupiter and Saturn are functional malefic for Cancer ascendant, hence will show sudden and chronic health problems related to gal bladder and liver. But such things can happen in each other maha and antar dasha regardless if they are in each others nakshatra, then why such yoga? This occurs because both planets are also acting like each other. Saturn will act like Jupiter and will try to show optimism and rise of self esteem even though he isn't supposed as a natural malefic, the native's self efforts and working on marriage will feel like a task filled with hope while Jupiter will show tremendous hard work needed in order to deal with the issues of family and

252

property which will happen with delay and may even have sudden unexpected results. Any planet will change his or her result based on the nakshatra they are placed in, especially in their activated time periods. Jupiter sitting in Ketu's nakshatra will not only give sudden urges for philosophy, higher leaning and spirituality but also sudden interest in occult, magic and things of other world. One must know the meaning and symbolism behind each nakshatra when studying a chart. I am currently working on the book which will focus just on planets and nakshatra.

Planets in Nakshatra and their Aspects: When a planet throws its rays upon other planets, its aspect not only has the main significance of the planet, but also of the zodiac sign which clarifies its dignity and the nakshatra it's placed in. If you really want to quantify astrology you must understand nakshatras. I am sure you read about nakshatra from my first book and watched my videos on how Moon nakshatra becomes very important in terms of setting your personality and thinking pattern. 253

In the same way each planet will be effected through the naksahtra it sits in at the time of your birth. Like in regular astrology each planet's dignity and personality is molded by the sign it sits in, in the same manner nakshatra also mold the dignity and characteristic of a planet. Example of Nakshatra aspect 1:

This chart shows Mars in the ascendant in the sign of Cancer and Venus in the 7th house in the sign of Capricorn. Mars is at twenty five degrees and Venus is at twenty degrees. Now, by looking at the degrees and knowing the basics of nakshatras you will see Mars is in the nakshatra of Ashlesha ruled by Mercury which symbolizes serpent or snake. Venus is in the nakshatra of Saravan which is about emotions and nourishment and a very soft nakshatra of holding lot of emotions within. Mars aspects Venus with his 7th aspect of reflection and intense desire for union. Mars is also reaching towards his most debilitated state which occurs at 28 degrees. Mars is in the ascendant showing that personality of the native is very much of a serpent who will do whatever it takes to get things in life through clever means. The individual is short tempered and manipulative through their communication since Mercury is the ruler of Mars' naksahtra. Venus is in the 7th house 254

of relationship and marriage while Venus herself is the karaka of marriage and spouse. When Mars aspects Venus, he not only throws his own natural rays of desire, passion and energy towards the marriage but his rays are now mixing up with the sign of Cancer where he is debilitated and his dignity is very low. This shows that such an aspect is filled with mostly sexual desire and desire to fulfill ones own physical needs. Mars being the nakshatra of Ashlesha shows that the person would not only manipulate the spouse for their own needs but will also cheat and have affairs because the nakshatra placement of Mars is changing his dignity further. There will be lot of arguments, power struggle and even physical violence in the marriage if there are no positive aspect on Mars or Venus. Since Mars aspects Venus and the 7th house, both of whom show marriage; the spouse of the native will also have certain qualities of a manipulator and cheater. This is where the power struggle will come in. Both husband and wife will try to take advantage of each other. Venus, too, is in mutual aspect to Mars, but Mars won't be effected by Venus so much because Mars is physically more powerful than Venus and he is in the 1st house of self. But Venus aspect on Mars while sitting in the sign of Capricorn and in the nakshatra of Saravan will show a person who is emotionally torn in their personality and do not know how to respond emotionally to others or understand others emotions, especially spouse.

Example of Nakshatra aspect 2:

255

In the same chart Jupiter is sitting in the 9th house in the sign of Pisces while in the nakshatra of Revati, again controlled by Mercury. Jupiter in the 9th house closely aspects Mars in the ascendant with this fifth aspect. Jupiter being the guru and a divine teacher while in the 9th house of higher learning, sitting in the nakshatra of deep spirituality is now controlling Mars' behavior. Now the individual is more calm and spiritual on his approach towards spouse and other people. The manipulation has been decreased by 70%, although some attributes will always be present throughout life, you can safely say that the individual will be a much better person who will provide spiritual and loving passion to the spouse.

Example of Nakshatra aspect 3: 256

In example 3 you can see there is Saturn sitting in the 10th house at eight degrees which is the nakshatra of Ashiwini controlled by Ketu in the zodiac sign of Aries. Saturn in the 10th house aspects the 7th house with his 10th aspect. Saturn and Mars are both natural malefic planets no matter if they are exalted or well placed. In this case Saturn is not debilitated because Saturn is truly debilitated at 20 degrees Aries. But, Saturn is in the nakshatra of Ketu, which is about curing others and digging deep into healing people. But, the sign of Aries is tamasic sign which is about aggression, competition and leadership. Now you have two of the most natural malefic planets looking at soft Venus in the 7th house while one is acting like Mercury and the other like Ketu. Saturn is brining detachment with his aspect and more discipline and organization needing in marriage including delay in marriage. In conclusion, although the personality of the native is very spiritual and easy going, marriage will still suffer due to no benefic aspect on Venus. If the individual marries late in life, like after 36, there will be far less complication in life than if they were to get married early when both Saturn and Mars are immature. Such immaturity is strongly causing physical harm to the spouse but not the native.

257

Example of Nakshatra aspect 4:

In example 4 you and see how Saturn and Mars both aspect the ascendant of the native, this can show harm to the individual physically through mother and the spouse not matter if it's a male or female. First house is the house of self, which means threat to self not others.

Example of Nakshatra aspects 5: 258

In example 5 the native has far lesser threat from the spouse than the mother, because Mars's aspect is being molded and changed by spiritual Jupiter. Only Saturn poses a great threat, but threat of Mars remains by 30%. If Jupiter's aspect was more than 10-15 degrees away from Mars then the changes of a bad spouse increases. Always check the Navamsa (D9) chart to give a final prediction. I can't talk about all planets in nakshatra because that will take far more time and space in this book. I will write a separate book planets in nakshatra.

Case Studies of Aspects: Here are 3 examples of people who have suffered from mental illness, anger, or severe depression. Case Study 1: Date: February 9th, 1980 Time: 19:45 pm Place: New Delhi, India

This is a chart is of a woman who suffers from multiple personality disorder and anger issues. There are 3 hot planets in the ascendant in the sign of Leo, which is the hottest of all. The Moon receives a sandhi aspect from Saturn, because the Moon is about to enter into Scorpio; it's most debilitated state, while receiving an aspect of Saturn, which is looking at the 4th House at 2 degrees. Most people will not see this unless they are familiar with the dance of degrees. This shows that the mind is going towards its most intense, emotional state. By receiving an aspect from Saturn in the 4th House, the mind is quite depressed and held hostage from reality. Saturn’s aspect on the 4th House shows that peace of mind 260

is lost due to responsibility at home and some serious issues with one’s mother. Mars’ 4th aspect is also on the 4th House, bringing power struggles and differences of opinion with her. Mercury, which represents logic and the nervous system, is in conjunction with Ketu, bringing unnecessary fear and anxiety through partnerships and marriage. Jupiter shares its aspect on the 7th House trying to protect the marriage. Before we use Jupiter's aspect we have to see the conjunction. Jupiter and Rahu are at conjunction, meaning Rahu is becoming Jupiter and Mars, and taking away their positive qualities. Now, when Jupiter shares its aspect with the 7th House, it's less than half of its power. Mars sharing its aspect on the 7th House reflects that there are power struggles and arguments in the marriage due to ego. Mercury in conjunction with Ketu is becoming malefic. After becoming malefic, Mercury shares its 7th aspect upon the ascendant, making the native clever and intelligent. Since it's in aspect with Ketu, the intelligence will create fear and war in the lives of others. The native may have a partner who distantly communicates with them.

Case Study 2:

261

Date: June, 28th 1997 Time: 7:46 am Place: Confidential

Here is another classic example of someone with major anger problems and bipolar disorder. First, Saturn and the Moon are in conjunction, and are about 6 degrees apart from each other. Such a conjunction doesn't mean mental illness all the time. Why is this a classic case? Because the conjunction is occurring in the ascendant, which is the head. Notice Saturn is a functional malefic for Pisces ascendant, as its moolatrikona sign rules the 12th House. The 12th House represents losses, imagination, spirits, and other worlds. Such a conjunction of the Moon shows that the mind is filled with illusion, anxiety, and depression. Before judging Saturn's conjunction, you also have to see if Saturn receives any aspect from a planet. In this case, it does. Saturn receives a direct aspect form Mars in the 7th House. Not only is Saturn a functional and natural malefic, it receives an aspect from its enemy, Mars, from the 7th House. The Moon also receives an aspect from hot and fiery Mars.

262

The mind is stuck in a warzone of aspects. Mars rules two good houses of wealth and higher learning. However, Mars is a natural malefic. This aspect on the ascendant brings luck and wealth through other males including one’s spouse. However, there is a major power struggle happening in the house of marriage. This is because the functional and natural malefic Saturn aspects Mars with its 7th aspect as well. However, marriage is sustainable. Why? First, although debilitated Jupiter aspects the 7th House of marriage with its 9th aspect, it brings a saving grace. Second, Jupiter and Saturn are in parivartan yoga with each other. Saturn rules the 11th House where Jupiter sits, and Jupiter rules the ascendant where Saturn sits. This shows that the native had responsibilities in life when they were young, and there was pressure upon the mother as well. She had to take on the role of the father, as the Sun is in the 4th House of mother. The native was introduced to her husband through their network circle, and he is a guru-like figure, who brought optimism, taught her about higher values, and spiritual learning. Lord of the 7th House Mercury is also strong in the 4th House of its own sign of Gemini. The husband is a civil engineer, while the female was a homemaker. The husband is seen from Jupiter. Jupiter is debilitated in the sign of Capricorn. Jupiter is not only in parivartan yoga with Saturn, but it’s also receiving a neecha banga raja yoga from Saturn as well. Venus in the 5th House aspects Jupiter with its 7th aspect, which is a natural benefic aspect. The husband is also a lover of classical music. There are arguments between the couple, but at the end it works out. The wife’s emotions still fluctuate, but it balances out with time. Remember, Jupiter in the upachaya house grows better with time even if debilitated.

Case Study 3: Date: December 6th 1951

263

Time: 11:50 pm Place: Eugene, OR

In Case Study 3, the native has a Leo ascendant. He suffers from schizophrenia. He hears voices and hallucinates. He has been heavily medicated which caused a brain seizure. After analyzing this chart, I concluded that the individual was not schizophrenic, but had a sixth sense to see entities that may be seeking his help. Anyone in this circumstance without proper spiritual guidance would be afraid, and declare him mentally ill. First, Ketu is in the ascendant in the sign of Leo, which means the individual has given up on ego and lacks self-esteem. I also see that Ketu is in its own nakshatra of Magha. This means Ketu is behaving as it normally would, and is unaffected by any aspect or conjunction. This depicts that the individual was spiritual and gifted at birth to have the ability to see things beyond a human perspective. Ketu is the karaka of occult knowledge. The Lord of Ketu, or the Sun, is average in the 4th House in the sign of Scorpio. This is a sign of transformation. The Sun is directionless because the individual is born close to midnight. The Sun also 264

receives an aspect from Saturn in the 2nd House, which is at planetary war with Mars. The aspect of Saturn shows that one's peace of mind in the 4th House is troubled, as is his relationship with his mother. She was under tremendous pressure, as any mother would be if their child is suffering this way. The father is under a lot of mental stress as well because of the native. The Sun, the karaka of father, is in the 4th House with an aspect of warlike Saturn. Why is the native seeing and hearing things? Why is it real and not imaginary? The Moon is the mind, intuition, and our senses. The Moon in this horoscope is Lord of the 12th House of the spirit world, other dimensions, and spirituality. The Moon is also the functional malefic for the chart. The Moon is placed in the 8th house of secrets, occult, death, and transformation with the Lord of the 8th House, Jupiter. This depicts that the mind of the native is linked to other worlds, secrets, and death-like experiences. Since Jupiter, the divine guru, is with the Moon, the experiences of the 12th and 8th House are spiritual and saintly. Jupiter is also the Lord of the 5th House, which represents education and past life deeds. The individual was a master of occult knowledge, and studied death and transformation. In this life, he is meant to finish this task. Mars and Saturn both aspect the Moon and Jupiter in the 8th House. There is a war happening in the 2nd House of family due to Mars and Saturn. It reflects verbal and physical abuse in the family by an uncle, brother, or father. Saturn is the Lord of the 6th House of diseases, and Mars is the Lord of 4th and 9th House. Mars is the yoga karaka for the individual, and its aspect is mostly positive. Since Mars is in a warzone with Saturn, it shows that Mars aspect is troublesome. Both are natural malefic. Saturn is also the karaka of death, rebirth, and the underworld because Saturn is the natural karaka of 6th, 8th and 12th House. Saturn is also the karaka of chemicals, while Mars is the karaka of poisons. Both look at the Moon in the 8th House of death. This means one will face death-

265

like instances through chemical substances or sharp objects. In today's world, chemicals and poisons are used in making pharmaceuticals. Through the lagna chart, the mind would greatly be affected by drugs. Jupiter and the Moon are at exact conjunction, meaning the Moon is being influenced by the 9th and 8th Lord. Ketu also aspects Mercury. Ketu is a natural malefic, and yet for this chart, Ketu is also very spiritual and brings the knowledge of other worlds. Ketu's aspect shows that one's brain function is affected by its spiritual bliss. It can bring fear and anxiety within the native. The logical thinking of the native is greatly affected by the spirit world. The Lord of Mercury is placed in the 8th House of Pisces, while in the nakshatra of Uttra Bhadrapada, controlled by Saturn, showing spirituality and the underworld. Let's review the chart through Moon ascendant.

Example 1:

266

The image shows a chart placing the Moon in the ascendant which is another impact in Vedic Astrology. We get a spiritual picture from this perspective. The Moon and Jupiter are two best friends in exact conjunction. Look at the aspect of Mars and Saturn. Saturn rules the 12th House of the spirit world and other dimensions. It is also the house of hospitals and asylums. Rahu, the co-ruler of the 12th House is sitting in the 12th house, bringing the ability to see into the spirit realm. Saturn being the Lord of the 11th, looks at both the Moon and ascendant Lord, showing that the native is heavily impacted by the spiritual world. Mars, being the Lord of 2nd and 9th House, shows that one is not only receiving a divine power, but is also struggling with their mind and the knowledge being received. Saturn and Mars are still in a warzone in the 7th House. In marriage, fighting and arguing are prevalent, but Saturn sustains the marriage. When you look at Mercury, you can see that it receives the aspect of Ketu from the 6th House and Mars from the 7th House. Both Mars and Ketu act the same way, and are known to bring conflicts. Ketu in the 6th House of disease shows that one's nervous system will be impacted by unknown things which doctors will not be able 267

to diagnose. Notice Ketu is the co-Lord of Scorpio, and Scorpio rules two good places in the lagna and moon rashi chart. The 9th House represents divine grace and higher knowledge. One can tell that Ketu's aspect, although troubled with health problems, brings the karma of divine grace. Both co-Lords of the 9th House aspect Mercury. After looking at the chart thoroughly, you can see that the native is not mentally ill, but being visited by an entity that is creating fear and anxiety. In a past life, the native must have provoked trapped spirits that want his help to be released. Example 2:

Chart of previous client who suffered a heart attack during JupiterMars-Saturn period. The ascendant is not only filled with malefic, but also receives aspect from malefic. Mercury is known to be neutral, but changes in tone when sitting with a natural malefic of benefic. In this case, Mercury is sitting with two heavy natural malefics, so naturally Mercury becomes malefic. Saturn from the 11th House aspects the ascendant, and Rahu is already on the 1st and 7th axis. Anytime 268

you have all malefics sitting or aspecting the ascendant, one will have chronic battles with health. Not only will the native suffer a heart attack, but also many physical fights, including a stabbing, as Mars is the karaka of knives, bloods, cuts, and wounds. Mars is debilitated and aspects the 8th House of death-like scenarios, while both co-Lords of the 8th House Rahu and Saturn are looking at the ascendant. Saturn's aspect on Mars agitates the debilitated Mars while sitting on the ascendant’s head. The native is known to have a short fuse and fights, while also a semi-pro baseball player. Mars aspects the 4th House of peace of mind while debilitated, including the 7th House of marriage and 8th House of secrets. The native has been divorced 3 times in his life, and has many affairs. Example 3:

How would you read this chart? Do a chart analysis before reading the details of this example. 1. First see who is in aspect to who 2. What mutual aspects are occurring? 3. Which aspects are good and bad?

269

1. In Example 3: Ketu aspects Saturn, Mars aspects Saturn, Rahu aspects Jupiter, Jupiter aspects Rahu, Saturn aspects Rahu, and Saturn aspects Mars. 2. Saturn and Mars are in mutual aspect. Rahu and Jupiter are in mutual aspect. 3. Jupiter’s aspect on Rahu is good, while the rest are difficult aspects. The mutual aspect between Mars and Saturn show that one will have a power struggle and difficulty creating structure in their married life and career. They seek structure and organization, which will make them run into disputes with their spouse and legal partnerships. In their career, one will look for authority and routine work, but face a constant challenge due to competition. When Saturn and Mars have a mutual aspect, the native wants to conquer both houses which are receiving the aspect. They want to control their spouse and their co-workers. Ketu aspects Saturn from the 6th House, which depicts that the native is completely dissatisfied by their career status. They distance themselves from work and may suffer from excessive travel due to their job. The native will be married late in life due to Saturn's aspect on the 7th House and the karaka of marriage, Venus. Saturn’s aspect on Rahu in the 12th House shows that one will face responsibility and stress in foreign lands, and when dealing with foreigners. There is demand upon the native when traveling to foreign places. Saturn's ability to delay spiritual progress causes frustration.

Example 4:

270

Let’s review empty aspects from the same chart. Empty means aspects on the houses with no planets. First, we see that Jupiter aspects the 2nd House of family. Jupiter for Libra ascendant rules the 3rd and 6th House, both of which are malefic. The 3rd House is a mild malefic because it's 8th from the 8th. Jupiter is a natural benefic while sitting in the sign of Taurus which is about value, wealth, and luxury of family. Jupiter’s aspect shows that one will suddenly gain wealth through joint assets of marriage, and through the help of in-laws. The native may suddenly become wealthy through enemies and the unprivileged as well. There can also be sudden debt, and the native must put effort into sustaining married life and joint assets. There will also be secret dealings with the enemy and mother's family, and also secret dealings of wealth with younger siblings. You must be thinking that Rahu's aspect on Jupiter is taking away its positive quality, which is true. But Jupiter is part of a harsha vipreet raj yoga. This raj yoga gives sudden wealth, name, and fame in life through enemies, and by overcoming obstacles. The native's enemy won't be able to harm them.

271

Saturn in the 10th House aspects the 4th House. Saturn rules the 4th and 5th House, and is the yogakaraka of Libra ascendant. In other words, Saturn rules two of the most powerful house combinations: kendra and trikona. Saturn is a natural malefic planet, so no matter what house it rules, it will always bring fear, anxiety, restriction, and discipline. Saturn aspects its own 4th House and rules the 5th House. The 4th House represents the mother, nourishment, happiness, peace of mind, and homeland. The 5th House represents children, education, performing arts, and political discussions. In the 10th House of Cancer, Saturn has no emotion towards a career. Saturn needs status and security, and wants routine jobs, perhaps taking care of the elderly or the poor. This also shows one might be in the residential building business, as Saturn rules the 4th House, and is the karaka of construction and building homes. Before we begin analyzing what the aspect is doing, we should see the condition of Saturn. Saturn is in a strong house, which is the 10th House, and receives an aspect from Mars, which is strong in its own sign in the 7th House. Ketu's 5th House from the 6th House. Now, Saturn is not only hard working, disciplined, and organized, but also power hungry, competitive, forceful, impulsive, and at the same time disconnected from co-workers and has difficulty completing tasks due to Ketu's aspect. One received tough love from their mother. She was a professional who demanded organization and structure in the house. She was always busy with work, which is why she was away from home or distant from the native. Saturn also rules the 5th House, and from the 5th House Saturn is 6 places away, meaning 6th from the 5th. This shows that the native will also be buried in conflicts with their children, and they will put a lot of responsibility on the native, which will hinder their professional life. They will be equally demanding of their children as their mother once was.

272

If you notice, Saturn, Rahu, and Jupiter aspect the 4th House of mother, childhood, homeland, nourishment, peace of mind, and conveniences. Example 5:

In the above chart, all three planets are looking at the 4th House. Without looking at the Moon, who is the karaka of the 4th House? How would you judge this? In conclusion, we would say that there would be lot many fluctuations in the home despite the fact that one’s mother provides motivation and optimism. Work and foreign travel distance the native from their mother, and their mother may become an occasional obstacle. At the end, the native would still love his or her mother. This conclusion is due to the aspect of Jupiter, which is like a Ganga jal of the horoscope.

273

Example 6:

Why is it that certain houses are protected? When the Lord of houses aspects that house, it is protected. In the chart above, you can see how Jupiter aspects its own 2nd House, Saturn aspects its own 3rd House, and Mars aspects its own 6th House.

274

Example 6A:

Above are the aspect lines. When a planet aspects its own house, it provides protection, meaning the planet will not let the house be injured, especially during its mahadasha. Jupiter's aspect on the 2nd House shows that even though Saturn brings sorrow, delay, frustration, discipline and hard work towards family and wealth, Jupiter’s aspect nullifies it by 50-60%. Malefics are not welcomed in the 2nd House, especially knowing it's a maraka house. Now, Saturn is being judged by Jupiter. It's like a landlord constantly staring at a tenant, and when a tenant knows they are being observed, they are on their best behavior. In this case, the mix of Jupiter and Saturn can show that one grew up in a very professional family that was career oriented, disciplined, and organized enough have consistent wealth. Gains for the native will be built slowly and steadily, yet far better than if Saturn wasn't receiving an aspect from Jupiter. Saturn, aspects its own 4th House while sitting in the 2nd House. This shows that one's home will be protected and guarded. There is a serious approach to building a home. The native gains a house during Saturn's mahadasha and does not lose their parents 275

property. The mother will bring discipline and organization into the family. There is maternal nourishment, yet she demands a serious work ethic. Mars in the 11th House aspects the 6th House. This shows that one will always gain through their enemies, and will defeat them in court cases, disputes, or even physical fights. There are tremendous gains through male friends, brothers, and colleagues. The native is protected from having any accidents. However, accidents are not just controlled by Mars, who is the karaka of accidents, or the 6th and 8th House. You have to see the karaka of cars, which is Venus. In this case, Venus receives a conjunction of Rahu and Mercury in the sign of Scorpio, or the sign of transformation through dramatic events. Anytime Saturn, Mars, or Rahu go over Venus through transit, one can face accidents but they are not life threatening. Example 6B:

You might have missed the mutual aspect between Saturn and Mars. How would this effect the final result?

276

Mars and Saturn are creating a warzone by mutual aspect and stubbornness. This shows that the native has fighting ability, and is willing to do anything and everything in life to protect their assets and gains. This can also lead to the native doing illegal things or going behind the scenes to make sure their assets and gains are protected. Such a mutual aspect between the 2nd and 11th House can show quick transformation of wealth, as money comes and goes. There is never a time where the native has constant assets. There are always fluctuations. There will be disputes with male friends and brothers because Mars represents both, while Saturn controls the 3rd House of siblings and 4th House of home. Mars’ aspect is sharing the energy of the 6th and 11th House since his moolatrikona sign is of the 6th House. Mars is a functional malefic for Scorpio ascendant, so disputes regarding property and family assets are evident. But Mars' aspect on the 6th House shows that one will have victory over legal disputes in Saturn and Mars mahadasha. Example 6C:

We can see that Jupiter’s aspect is protecting the 2nd House, and the 2nd house is the sign of Sagittarius, which is a friendly sign to Mars. 277

This shows that even though there may be disputes with friends, uncles, and family members regarding assets, the native would still be able to protect some assets from disappearing; including their home. Example 6D:

Jupiter aspects the 4th House and 6th House. This shows that Jupiter brings protection to assets, home, debts, diseases, and disputes. Some of you might be thinking that Jupiter's depositor, the Sun, is debilitated in the 12th House, so why is Jupiter still doing this? First, Jupiter is a natural benefic, so it will always try to be positive, no matter how it’s situated. Second, we do not know the degree of the Sun. Without knowing these facts, we can simply say Jupiter is strong in the 10th House and in the sign of his friend, the Sun. The result will depend on each individual mahadasha. Before judging mahadasha, we have to see what yogas are being formed. We have several dhan yogas in this chart.

278

1. Parivartan yoga between ascendant Lord Mars and 11th Lord Mercury. One will gain through property, male friends, and their older brother. 2. Mutual aspect between Saturn and Mars which is creating a Raj yoga due to being lords of the ascendant and 4th House, while sitting in wealth houses, and 11th from their respective houses, because Saturn is 11th from the 4th House while Mars is 11th from the ascendant. 3. Jupiter's aspect on his own 2nd House creates another dhan yoga by aspect. 4. The Moon sitting in the 9th House creates another dhan yoga, especially since Rahu aspects a strong moon. Rahu is amplifying the Moon's positive energy. One always feels fortunate in life no matter what the circumstances are. Result: In Mars mahadasha, the native gets into disputes over property and family assets, but will emerge victorious. They will gain through siblings and businesses of real state and finance. However, they may be more spending than saving. In Saturn mahadasha, the native gets into property disputes and will be separated from family and maybe their homeland. Yet, they will receive gains through land and property without disputes. If Saturn mahadasha comes early on in life, then one will experience an average to barely below average gain. If the mahadasha of Saturn comes later in life, after age 30, then Saturn will give good results with wealth and property. One will become stingy and fearful of losing savings, so they will guard their money during this period.

279

In Jupiter mahadasha, one will have an excellent reputation at work and at home. They will gain through their status, and build savings. They will also receive benefits through foreign government if the native settles permanently in foreign lands. If the Sun is really close to its debilitated point in degrees, then one will get in trouble with foreign governments. In Mercury mahadasha, one will try to pursue education or develop and market their real estate business. Real estate is very prominent in their horoscope due to Saturn and Mars’ influence. The native would gain tremendously due to Mercury being in a dhan yoga while sitting with its two friends, Rahu and Venus. Mercury mahadasha can bring sudden transformations as well, but it could be a good transformation, as Gemini is a rajasic sign while the 8th Lord is in a parivartan yoga with the ascendant lord. One will suddenly gain in real estate through victory over disputed property, or even win a lottery. The 8th House is not always bad. If a natural benefic sign rules the 8th House while the 8th Lord is in a good spot forming a positive yoga, then one will gain through the resources of the 8th House. In Venus mahadasha, one can run into heavy expenses and health issues due to Venus moolatrikona sign being in the 12th House, making it a functional malefic and in the axis of Rahu and Ketu.

Example 6E:

280

Venus aspects its own 7th House providing protection. Though Ketu is there, it is being looked at by landlord Venus, so Ketu will behave. One can safely say that the native will have a foreign spouse due to Rahu's conjunction. The spouse will also be spiritual, which is the good side of Ketu. Final result: This is an excellent chart without knowing the degrees. The native does have fluctuations in some dashas like Mars, Sun, Ketu, and a touch of Saturn, yet protection is there with the family houses. The best mahadasha for the native would be the Moon, Jupiter, and Mercury. If Mercury had no yoga forming with Mars, then you can say the native would run into health issues and can experience sudden losses in Mercury mahadasha. Since Mercury is in conjunction with the 12th Lord Venus, and in the axis of Rahu and Ketu, major health issues will only arise in Mars mahadasha. Mars is not only the lord of the physical body (ascendant), but also the lord of diseases (6th House).

281

We only have 1 conjunction in this horoscope, which is of Rahu, Venus, and Mercury, but we have no aspects on them. How can you combine the lessons of my book "Conjunctions @ the Speed of Light" and "Aspects @ The speed of Light"? Example 7:

Saturn aspects the ascendant with its 10th aspect. How would you judge this aspect of the native's chart? 1. The conjunction: Mercury + Venus + Rahu conjunction: Mercury: intelligence, communication, speech, logic, education, analytical skills, calculative skills, education, business, trading and language skills Venus- love, relationship, desire, pleasure, luxurious foods, culture, family history, beauty, comfort, art, creativity, lust and sexuality

282

Rahu- illusion, taboo breaker, unconventional, deceiver, magician, foreign products and places, thief, politician, wide communication, and computer related products Unusual creative expression comes to mind with this conjunction. There is a great need for sexual, romantic, and lustful communication in all aspects of life. The native takes great pleasure in communicating unusual and taboo breaking subjects such as sexual orientation, interracial marriage, sex therapy, exotic dancing, and perhaps even the more dark side of human nature. The native becomes overly obsessive in romantic relationships and has a tremendous urge to constantly communicate with their partner. This can create a very controlling individual due to their overprotectiveness, lust, and sexual needs. These natives are not ashamed to talk about sexual behavior, and will most likely engage in all types of sexual activities. Their sense of pleasure comes from relating and communicating with people of different cultural backgrounds, especially from foreign lands. Rahu creates lots of interest in finding creativity, art, and beauty in foreign things. Mercury gives Venus exclusive access to communicate about foreign things. On a good note, this can make for a historian, anthropologist, or archeologist. Creativity is amplified with Rahu, and speech is used for mass communication. If such conjunctions occur in 6th, 8th or 12th House, it can lead to secret love affairs, pornography, and prostitution, especially if Venus is debilitated or in the sign of Scorpio. Such a sign placement creates a deep rooted sexual past, which could include sexual abuse or growing up in a household where sex and drugs were common. Rahu loves indulging in substance abuse, and when sitting with Venus, the sense of pleasure is derived from consuming exotic foods, drinks, and illegal substances. Mercury's curiosity and youthfulness combined with Rahu's nature of breaking rules leads Venus to places where it never thought it would be. These natives are quite adventurous, and will try anything once.

283

Aspect of Saturn on the 4th House (Repeated 170/171): Saturn in the 4th House aspects the 6th, 10th and 1st House. The 4th house represents the mother, home, homeland, mother's love, early education, and convenience. Saturn in the 4th House makes the relationship with the native’s mother disciplined, organized, and structured. The mother might be cold towards the native unless 4th Lord is sitting with Saturn or aspects the 4th House. The mother is controlling and might act like a general at home. There is a delay in attaining property, but one does get a home after the age of 35, since Saturn is the karaka of construction on land. They are able to build a custom home after Saturn's restrictive period has passed. During the mahadasha of Saturn, one has to fully indulge in responsibilities towards the mother, home, and maintaining the land. Saturn's placement might bring a cold, business-like approach at home, but the environment is stable. This can produce a soldier, policeman, or security guard who is forced to bare the responsibility of protecting their homeland. This position brings slow but steady growth in life and gains through property. Saturn in the 4th House aspects the 6th House of debts, enemies, diseases, small animals, everyday work life, and obstacles. Saturn's 3rd aspect brings victory over enemies through a steady work ethic. The 6th House also represents disagreements and divorce. Saturn's aspect delays or restricts the native in getting a divorce due to the responsibility that comes with it. One may suffer from chronic diseases of the chest, lungs, and joints. They need to have a routine work life in order to handle obstacles. Saturn restricts one from going into debt. If they do, Saturn helps them legally rid themselves of it. Saturn in the 4th House aspects the 10th House of career, status, father, and government. This aspect brings responsibility and leadership. They are forced to become a leader of the workforce which is a source of more daily responsibility. They need routine

284

at work and steadiness no matter what they do. They like work to be long term and constant. One is able to cope with the burden of work due to their mother’s teachings. An appreciation of their mother’s teachings comes later in life. They also benefit through the government, and may even become a government administrator or politician. Saturn in the 4th House aspects the 1st House of the physical body, personality, life force, and health. This aspect brings a very disciplined and organized personality. There is a sense of following the rules and abiding by the law. Their persona is influenced by the mother, and is very serious and powerful. They have a laser-like focus on what they do in life. As far as health is concerned, the native should beware of joint pains, bone density, heart, and lung issues. Depending upon Saturn's sign placement, pinpointing the cause of disease is possible. Final result example 10 chart? The conjunction in the ascendant shows that the native is extremely charming, sexual, communicative, and charismatic. The native has exceptional speaking skills. There is a strict and direct form of speaking, even when the native is being charming. They are very serious towards their approach to other people. If they are charming someone and being friendly, there is a purpose behind it. Their personality is all about being involved with large group settings, and having a tremendous work ethic which helps them succeed in gaining land, career, and creative endeavors. When it comes to sex, the native is very serious and goes deep into the darkness of sexual activity. Being in the parivartan yoga of Mars and Mercury, the native is extremely sexual, but patient enough to wait for their chance to get the opposite or same sex companion. This can be someone who is a playboy, or someone who loves the thrill of sex and real estate.

285

Example 8:

Saturn and Mars both aspect the ascendant. How will this change the perspective? The chart will be more energized. The native's sexual craving will be more energetic and forceful. They will use sex as a way to gain status in life. In a sense, they are all about business. They will be a strong leader at work; perhaps in government, or in a real state company. They are tough bosses who look out for their own benefit before anyone else's. They may suffer from major health issues, and physical attacks on the body with metal weapons. Both Saturn and Mars are in mutual aspect, creating a very stubborn person in terms of professionalism and private life. Having 4 malefics influencing the ascendant can make a dictator-type personality, who is hated by enemies. This is because Scorpio is the sign of dark transformation, and with Rahu, Saturn, Mars and the axis of Ketu, someone can be a very forceful individual who does not understand rejection. Though Mars' aspect on the ascendant protects the ascendant, Mars is still a natural and functional malefic planet for a Scorpio ascendant. For this native, death doesn't bring fear; defeat does. In Ketu, Mars, and Mercury mahadasha, the native feels such things because all three are part 286

of being functional malefic, or lord of the 8th House in the sign of the 8th House of transformation, or receiving aspects of all major malefics like Mercury. Wealth is still prominent, but in Saturn dasha, because Jupiter and Mars are creating a beautiful Raj and Dhana yoga, while Saturn is also creating a Raj Yoga. Such a native can be an excellent politician, which requires being cunning and unafraid of anything. Even the Sun period is manageable because two of its best friends (Jupiter and Mars) sitting in the sign of Leo, are in the powerful 10th House. The 8th Lord is in the ascendant, while the ascendant lord is in the 10th House; meaning someone will expose secrets of the government, and gain fame through it. In Sun mahadasha, they may go to jail for treason. Example 9:

Let's talk about exact aspects. How do they affect a person and why do they matter? If you read my first book "Astrology @ The Speed of Light", I talk about the effect of functional malefic and functional benefic 287

planets in astrology. Whenever a planet's moolatrikona sign comes in the 6th, 8th and 12th House, it can bring more harm than good to the native even if the planet is a natural benefic planet. In Example 9, you can see the rising sign degrees. The chart is a Cancer rising chart at 12 degrees. Any planet in any house that is close to that 12 degree mark will have the most impact in the chart, even if it's 3 degrees within the orb of the 12 degrees. If you notice, Saturn and Jupiter are both very close to the ascendant degree with Jupiter at the exact degree of the ascendant. The thing to notice here is that both Jupiter and Saturn are functional malefic planets, and they both are aspect to the ascendant. Jupiter in the 5th House aspects the 9th, 11th and 1st House. Saturn in the 4th House aspects the 6th, 10th and 1st House. Example 9A:

You can see the aspect lines of both planets. Jupiter and Saturn are functional malefic because they rule the 6th and 8th House. This reflects great health problems for the native, not because they aspect the ascendant, but because they aspect the ascendant at the exact degree. What kind of health problem does the native have? Jupiter represents the liver, diabetes, fat, and even 288

small veins in the body. Saturn controls teeth, bones, joints, and chronic diseases like arthritis. In this chart, Jupiter also aspects Mercury in the 11th House, while Saturn aspects Venus and the Sun in the 10th House. Saturn is in the 4th House of chest, heart, and ribs. Jupiter is in the 5th House of stomach and upper intestine. The Sun is the karaka of heart, and Venus is the karaka of the reproductive system, kidneys, and hormones. Such an aspect can show problems with the heart, breathing, nervous system, and digestive track. But more than anything, it shows chronic health problems because two functional malefic planets aspect the ascendant at the exact degree. Example 9B:

You can see the ascendant degrees have changed. The ascendant is now rising at 25 degrees, while Saturn and Jupiter both are at 12 degrees. This shows that health problems will not be devastating, nor will the negative impact of these two planets be severe. Even though they will still cause problems in their respective mahadasha, it will not be traumatic. You also have to see the degree of the Sun, Venus, and Mercury. They may not be impacted by Saturn and 289

Jupiter as much if their degrees are more or less than 10 degrees orb of these functional malefic planets. Jupiter controls the 9th house of luck and fortune as well, and in its mahdasha, there will be good times along with bad times. If Jupiter is at the exact same degree as the ascendant, then bad times can overshadow the good.

290

Jaimini Astrology aspects: Jaimini astrology is another major branch of Prashara astrology which was lost for 3000 years and was only revived in the 20th century by gurus like Sri Sri K.N. Rao who is considered the best Vedic astrology in the world including the best Jaimini astrologer in the world; but this science never gained as much attention as regular Vedic Astrology until recent years. Sri Rao accounts his understanding and introduction to Jamini astrology through a hidden gem known as "Vemuri Rama Murthy" in Andhra Pradesh, which is described in his book "Jaimini's Chara dasha". Many astrologers who came on my Youtube channel were also experts in Jaimini and always emphasized using both system together side by side to confirm events from the past. This is called composite approach. When looking at a horoscope through aspects of Prashara which are 80% of the whole game, you should also give a quick glance to Jamini aspects including Chara dasha. I will explain Chara dasha in this chapter. I have made understanding Jamini aspects very easy through my videos and will do the same in this book. The most important thing to remember is never use just one method in your astrological analysis, always use Prashara and Jamini to confirm events in life. One doesn't work without the other for a common man unless you're a gifted saint. One important fact to remember is that planets really become active in Jaimini when their sign based dasha becomes active, but in any chara dasha they will give their results based on how far they are from the sign dasha. In Jamini astrology signs, only sign aspect other signs. Planets do not have aspects. But if a planet is sitting in a certain sign, that 291

planet, too, will aspect all the houses that the sign is looking towards. In such a method a planet will have multiple aspects combining Prashara and Jamini together. If Saturn has 3 aspects in Prashara then in Jamini it may have additional 3. This is why in one single mahadasha Saturn can put delay on many things but no matter what mahadasha you are running, there will always be some "Chara dasha" running simultaneously with Vimshotri dasha. If Mahadasha of Saturn is running while the chara dasha of the sign where Saturn is placed that's when Saturn will began to aspect all the other respective houses. In Jamini all fixed signs aspects all cardinal signs except the one next to them and all cardinal signs aspect all the fixed signs accept the one next to them. Then, all the mutable sign aspect each other. confused yet? let me make it easy. What are fixed, cardinal and mutable signs in astrology? This is one of the most basic concept of astrology like elements of planets (fire, water, earth, air). Fixed signs: Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius Cardinal signs: Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn Mutable signs: Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces Remember what I said. All fixed signs aspect all the cardinal signs except the one next to it. The sign of Taurus will aspect Cancer, Libra and Capricorn but not Aries. Why not Aries? because Aries is right next to Taurus in ascending order. Aries and Taurus are neighbors and since they are neighbors they do not aspect each other in Jamini.

292

Leo as a fixed sign will aspect Aries, Libra and Capricorn, but not Cancer. Why not Cancer? because Cancer is right next to Leo in the zodiac belt. Scorpio will only aspect Aries, Cancer and Capricorn in the birth chart but not Libra. Libra and Scorpio are neighbors in the zodiac belt. Aquarius will only aspect Aries, Cancer and Libra but not Capricorn because Aquarius and Capricorn are right next to each other in the zodiac belt. All cardinal signs aspect all fixed signs accept the one next to them. Aries will aspect Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius but not Taurus because they are right next to each other. The same will apply to Cancer, Libra and Capricorn just like the fixed signs. I think you get the picture. When it comes to all mutable signs, they aspect each other. The sign of Gemini will aspect Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces. Virgo will aspect Gemini, Sagittarius and Pisces. Sagittarius will aspect Gemini, Virgo and Pisces. Pisces will aspect Gemini, Virgo and Sagittarius. See how simple and easy Jaimini aspects are. Let me show you in a example.

293

Fixed sign aspect example:

This is a Aries ascendant chart. The # 5 is obviously shows the 5th sign of the zodiac Leo which is sitting in the 5th house. Leo is a fixed sign and all fixed sign aspect all the cardinal signs except the one next to them. The check mars shows all the aspect for Leo and the X shows where it does not have a Jamini aspect. Since there is a planet sitting in the sign of Leo (Rahu), that planet will also aspect all the houses which sign of Leo is looking towards. In this case Rahu also aspects 7th, 10th and 1st house.

294

Cardinal sign aspect:

We again have Aries rising horoscope with Saturn in the 4th house in the sign of Cancer. Since Cancer is a cardinal sign it will aspect all the fixed sign except the one next to it. This means Cancer is looking at the 8th, 11th and 2nd house but doesn't look at the 5th house where Leo is because Leo and Cancer are always next to each other. Since Saturn is in the sign of Cancer, it too, will aspect the same houses as the sign.

295

Mutable sign aspect:

We have Gemini ascendant, as all the mutable signs are inside kendra. All the mutable houses are looking at each other and since Rahu and Ketu are sitting in those houses they will look at all the kendra houses in addition to their regular Prashara aspect. When you are reading a normal chart always look at both aspect approach. Look at the chart from the eye of regular Prashara Vedic astrology and Jamini Astrology. But aspect of Prashara only become active when the sign based dasha is active in the chart including sign based antar dasha. Just like how regular aspect of planets are only active during their Maha, antar and Pariantar dasha. If You are running through Cancer chara dasha and Saturn is sitting in Cancer then Saturn will start effecting the houses that Cancer is currently looking at. 296

When reading a regular Vimshorti mahadasha for any planet, read their regular aspects like Mars has 4, 7, 8, Jupiter has 5, 7, 9 etc.. but when you are looking at chara dasha that's when you will use sign based aspects for all planets and not the normal aspects. If you are running the chara dasha of Capricorn while Saturn is sitting directly opposite of it then Saturn will effect the situation of that char dasha regarding whatever situation you are trying judge. Prashara aspect are extremely important but Jamini aspect are just as important. When you are studying your chart through eye of Jamini never use basic Vedic astrology aspects. Jamini chart example 1:

If you were reading the chart above for Jamini how would you study the aspects? One thing you will not do is say Saturn aspects the 2nd, 6th and 9th house in this chart. That's the Prashara aspect. The correct way to address is by saying Saturn aspects the 3rd, 6th and 9th house. 297

Venus and Rahu aspects the 5th, 8th and 11th house. Mars, Moon and Jupiter aspect the 12th, 3rd and 6th house. Sun and Mercury aspect the 1st, 4th and 7th house while Ketu aspects the 11th, 2nd and 5th house. The proper way of address the aspect in this chart would be by saying, "The sign of Cancer aspects Scorpio, Aquarius and Taurus." The conclusion of this chart by eye of Jamini should be studied by regular Prashara aspect. When you study Chara dasha do not think of Prashara aspect, only Jamini aspect. When you study Prashara aspect only use regular aspects you got to know in this book. Jamini chart example 2:

In the chart above you can see Venus and Saturn have a mutual aspect which is effecting the native in terms of personality, spouse, marriage and health. But, this is only Prashara aspect and quite important. But, when you look at this chart through eyes of Jamini, there is no mutual aspect between Venus and Saturn since they are both in cardinal sign. In Jamini these two planets will play a different role, perhaps of career and siblings, they may play a part

298

of education and personality depending upon their degree. Because planet become karaka of different situation by their degree. Planet with the highest degree is called Atmakaraka. Planet with second highest degree is called Amatyakaraka. Planet with third highest degree is called Bhatrikaraka. Planet with 4th highest degree is called Matrikaraka. Planet with 5th highest degree is called Putrakaraka. Planet with sixth highest degree is called Gnatikaraka. Planet with lowest degree is called Darakaraka. If you are eager to learn about Jamini. I have made 3 videos already on Youtube. You can search the video by typing, "Jamini Astrology" or "Chara dasha in Jamini", and my videos will show up.

What is Chara Dasha? Chara dasha is a sign based dasha that always starts from the sign of your ascendant and may either move forward or backwards depending upon your ascendant. Either the dasha wil move forward in counter clockwise motion or clockwise motion in a chart. Signs like Aries, Leo Virgo, Libra, Aquarius and Pisces move counterclockwise. This means if you were an Aries ascendant your first Chara dasha started with the sign of Aries and move to Taurus in the second house, then Gemini in third house and would repeat after Pisces. If you were born with the ascendant Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Scorpio, Sagittarius and Capricorn then your Chara dasha will move backwards. If you were born with a Taurus Chara dasha then you will start with Taurus as your first dasha period followed by 299

Aries, Pisces, Aquarius all the way to Gemini and repeat there after. How do you calculate Chara dasha? It's a simple step, you count how far the lord of each sign is from itself, count that many places and substrate it by one. But, I won't go any further than this; although it's always advised to calculate your tables and dasha manually, yet with the help of new software all the work is done for you. But be careful as some software will miscalculate your Chara Dasha. I will soon be implementing a full PDF horoscope service on my website Astrologykrs.com where you will get the most accurate calculation of any form of astrology including Chara dasha. Chara dasha answered many questions for me in the past five months. Why is that someone who goes through one of their best Vimshotri mahadasha suddenly losses their assets or fall sick or loses their job when they weren't supposed to. This is because chara dasha of a weak karaka in the sign activated itself in middle of your normal mahadasha. The good thing is sometimes Chara dasha only lasts for one year and sometimes twelve years, which is the max years allowed for any Chara dasha. A good Chara dasha should obviously last longer than bad dasha but that's not how Universe works. In conclusion there is lot more depth than meets the eye of Jamini aspects. Since I just started learning Jamini I have no authority to write anymore than what I have. I've only tested these aspects, karaka and Chara dasha system on celebrities, only, which does seem to work quite effectively. Until I test Jamini on a regular Joe I can't write or say anything about what works and what doesn't work. I have been learning Jamini for 4 months now and I still have lot to learn before I can even start practicing my skills on others. Once I have done enough research and testing, I will write a whole book on it including Jamini Raj yogas and Dhan yoga.

Prashara Astrology is excellent tool on its own. I only worked with Prashara my whole life and never felt empty. Jamini is like cherry on cake.

Remedy for bad aspects: First and foremost there are no remedies in the world of astrology. This is truly my own experience and testing of over 12 years. No gemstones, or throwing wheat in the river or burying something in the ground helped me. Some gemstones work but only for health reasons but they are not $1500 per ct. Those stone are no more than 10-20 per ct. Please do not be fooled if someone says they can change your fate by wearing some yantra, kavach or ring. Only less than 1% of all self-proclaimed saints have the power to change your fate or at least mold it with a much easier path. Now, the best remedy for any of your life's hardship is pouring milk, honey and water on a Shivling in a temple. Pour milk every month or 1st of every month and water on 15th of every month but also give some money from your pay check each time you do it. You can also add organic or pure honey in the milk as well. But, through my own experience the best time to do this activity is when no one is around the Shivling, or the least amount of people are present. When you go during rush hour in a temple your entire vibration is distorted and distracted. Go at a time when it's just you and the mystical power of this universe residing inside the Shivling. while pouring milk or water connected with it and ask for prosperity. No bad planetary alignment can harm you once you are connected to the source. The source energy is the manager of all the planets.
