Brihat Parasara Hora Sastra Chapter 3

Planetary Characters and Description

The first two chapters of BPHS may not be very enjoyable for those who look for predictive principles, but from the third chapter onwards, the predictive principles starts. From this chapter only, we get the idea about the characters of planets and their description. This chapter is also in the mode of communication between sage Maitreya and Sage Parasara, but the specialty is that, in this Chapter Parasara gives the direct answers unlike the first two chapters. I read BPHS from Sagar Publications,   and in that, the third chapter contains 29 pages. So, this is a very long chapter, and we will see this chapter part by part. In this article, we will see what scriptures until 18

Maitreya is requesting for planetary descriptions, and dispositions, and Parasara starts from nakshatras. Sage Parasara says that “Out of the many luminous bodies righted in the skies, some &re stars; yet some are planets. Those that have no movements are the Nakshatra”

 

Planet moves through Nakshatras

Average daily motion of the planets.

Planet – Degree

Sun        1

Moon      13-15

Mars        30-45

Mercury   65-100

Venus      62-82

Jupiter    5-15

Saturn      2

Nodes        3

Planetary moves are mentioned in   Naraia   Samhita, Vasishta Samhita etc

In the 10 shloka or scripture, Parasara speaks about the planets. The Sun, the Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, Rahu and Ketu.

In the 11th shloka or scripture Parasara speaks about Benefics and Malefics. The  Sun, Saturn, Mars,   waning  Moon,  Rahu and Ketu   are malefics while the rest are benefics. Mercury, however, is a malefic if he joins a malefic.

Waxing Moon is a benefic, while waning Moon is a malefic. Mercury is known as neuter planet and when it is with benefic, it is benefic and it is malefic when it is with malefic.

From Shlokas or Scripture 12-13 we can see what Parasara says about planetary indications

Sun-Soul

Moon-Mind

Mars-Strength

Mercury-Speech

Jupiter-Knowledge and happiness

Venus-Potency

Saturn-Grief

From 14-15, we can see Parasara talking about Planetary cabinet.

Sun-King

Moon-Queen

Mars-Soldier

Mercury-Prince

Venus-Minsiter

Jupiter-Minister

Saturn-Servant

Nodes- Planetary army

From Scriptures 16-17, we can see Parasara talking about planetary complexions

The Sun is blood-red. The Moon is tawny. Mars who is not very tall is blood-ied whiie Mercury’s hue is akin to that of green grass. Tawny, variegated and dark are Jupiter, Venus and Saturn in their order.

The Dasa Change of Arvind Kejriwal  

 

I was looking for my old articles, which I wrote for Marunadanmalayali.com, in my weekly forecast series. I had written some articles at the onset of the 2019 general elections about a few national leaders, including Narendra Modi, Amit Shah, Rahu Gandhi, Arvind Kejriwal, and a few more. I was searching for that, but I think they deleted older articles when they revamped the website. I did search in my sent mails also, but due to the gmail storage issue, I also deleted those soul-filling articles that I wrote, putting out my heart, and I really enjoyed writing them.

 

Today, when I heard about Arvind Kejriwal’s legal custody, I thought I would write a fresh article. Sincerely, I forgot what I wrote in 2019. I really feel bad that I did not back it up. Anyhow, let’s see the back story of the AK legal dilemma.

 

This arrest is connected to liquor policy. In 2021, the Delhi government introduced a liquor policy, changing the old liquor policy. The changes were brought up in excise duty. Additionally, the system was redesigned to keep the same number of liquor shops in all areas so that the government could stop accumulating these shops in one particular area. So, according to the geographical location, there should be two liquor shops in every location identified by the government. At the same time, this policy was scrapped in 2022. The reason was that revenue after executing this policy came down, so that affected the finances. At this point, I would like to remind those BJP bhakts who yell at the Kerala government that they make money through liquor and lottery that, last year, the government that made maximum revenue through liquor sales was your Yogiji’s UP government. Yes, blink your eyes and accept the truth. Kerala is much behind that.

Going back to AK, on July 20, 2022, the Delhi Chief Secretary reports violations in the liquor policy.

On July 20, 2022, the Lieutenant Governor of Delhi recommends a CBI investigation.

On August 20, 2022, the CBI raids Manish Shishodia, who is the Deputy CM.

On August 22, 2022, ED filed a money laundering case on liquor policy.

In September 2022, AAP communications head Vijay Nair got arrested by the CBI

On March 20, 2023, Manish Sisodia got arrested.

On October 20, 2023, AAP leader Sanjay Singh got arrested by the ED

On October 20, 2023, ED sent its first summons to AK.

They sent nine summonses, but AK skipped all

On March 21, 2024, AK appealed to the high court for interim bail; the Delhi high court rejected that, and he was arrested on the 21st.

In the press note released by ED, it says that AK is the master conspirator of this liquor scam. It says that the South Lobby is very much in connection with AK through K. Kavita, who is the leader of Bhartita Rashtra Samitii. Now it will be interesting to know who K. Kavita is as a member of the Telangana legislative council, and she is the daughter of the first chief minister of the Telangana state KCR.

 

Now, during the legal battle in court, we will see whether AK is innocent or not.

Before going into the details, let me tell you that AK is not afraid of the BJP.

 

AK is a Leo lagna, and right now his Jupiter Rahu antardasa is running. It will end by March 24, 2024, which means after 2 days the antardasa will be over and then his Saturn dasa will start. It will still take March 31st as the end date of the Rahu antardasa.

 

The last dash of Jupiter was very challenging for him, as it started in 2021. In 2021, the new liquor policy was implemented by the AAP government.

Nov. 17, 2021: The AAP government implements a new liquor policy. That time, AK’s Jupiter Rahu started. Rahu indicates alcohol addiction, and in his horoscope, Rahu is in Pisces, which is a water sign, and Rahu Ketu is in the 2/8 axis. Both the 2nd and 8th axes indicate addictions, as the 2nd house indicates food consumption and the 8th house indicates addiction.

 

He has this papa kartari yoga in his lagna as Sun and is debilitated. Mars is in the 12th house, and Ketu is in the 2nd house, forming bandhana yoga as well.

 

On March 30th, his Saturn dasa will start, and in his chart, Saturn is retro and conjunct with the Moon, forming Visha yoga. Saturn is an enemy planet to his lagna, as he is a Leo lagna, and the lagna lord Sun is Saturn’s arch enemy. Moreover, Saturn is in debilitation with a complex neecha bhanga due to the placement of Mars in the 12th house, and Mars is also in neecha.

Saturn is the planet for justice and karma, and in his chart, it is conjunct with the Amatyakaraka planet, the Moon. Saturn is also the lord of the 6th house of court cases and the 7th house of padaprapti, so from various points of view, we can see AK is going into deep trouble.

The Dasa Lord Saturn is in Mars‘s sign, and Mars is the yoga karaka planet for Leo Lagna. As an astrology enthusiast, I think if the yoga karaka planet is not in good dignity, it will give bad results during its maha dasa and antardasa. I have seen yoga karka dasa giving natives and divorces, so what I think in connection with yoga karka is that the planet should be in a good house so that it can deliver the best. Moreover, Dasa Lord Saturn is conjunct with the Moon, and the Moon and Mars are forming a parivartana yoga.

 

If you have a yoga, but it is forming with complexities, then be ready to face so many complexities during the mahadasa and antardasa of that planet.

For AK, the beginning of the mahadasa is bad, and he will take some time to come out of this. The main thing is that he is in ED custody; that doesn’t mean that he is the culprit, but the matter has to be argued, and the court has to decide upon listening to the evidence. The evidence has not been shown to AK yet.

He has this bandhana yoga that is too prominent in Lagna, so he is already imprisoned. Now that the general elections are on the verge, the BJP will do its best to keep the man behind bars so that they can block him from election work. However, since Saturn is retrograde and debilitated in the 9th house of law, it is definite that he will be a part of this legal battle for a long time. In legal cases, it is very difficult to predict who will win the case, as we have to see the horoscope of prominent parties.

However, he did  not answer the summons,  because he Wanted to Get Arrested, so he must have plan B, thats why he said he will run the government from the prison. Today his wife called up the press meet and assured the same. Legally he can run the government from the prison, so lets see how he does that.

 The flip side is , suddenly a fresh wave against ruling party BJP has started flashing all over the country, but the BJP bhakts cant see that. However, I am not someone to speak against the ruling party, but certainly I feel, somewhere the democracy is being compromised here. The BJP govt could do this much earlier,  but they are doing on the  same phase of elections, then the intention of BJP  government is in question and I fear, this will backlash on them especialluy when they want to get 400 seats as a single party. Still looking at AK’s horoscope I am sure, this man will be here in politics for a long term. Noone can crush his spirit.

Shubha Kartari, or Papa Kartari Yoga in your horoscope. What Results they will Produce.

 

As the name says, this is an auspicious yoga in Vedic astrology. When an auspicious planet like Jupiter, the waxing moon, Venus, or good mercury are on the 2nd and 12th of any planet or house, it is known as Shubha Kartari. Suppose your 11th house has Jupiter and your 9th house has Venus; then we say the 10th house is in Shubha Kartari. Another example is that if your lagna has a waxing moon without kema druma yoga and the 3rd house has Venus, then the 2nd house will be in shubha kartari yoga. Technically, if any house or planet is supported by auspicious planets from either house of the horoscope, then it forms a shubha kartari yoga.

 

In Pahaldeepika, chapter 6, it speaks about Shubha Kartari yoga like this: When the 12th and 2nd from the lagna are occupied by benefics, the yoga so formed is called Subhakartari. If these houses are occupied by malefics, the resultant yoga is called Papakartari.

Subhakartari Yoga at birth will make a person long-lived, fearless, healthy, and without enemies. Papakartari Yoga will make the person miserable bereft of his wife and children. He will have defective limbs and have a short life. This is the description in Phaladeepika.

 

Even though Pahaldeepika speaks only about this yoga in connection with lagna, i.e., if the 12th and 2nd houses have good planets, then it brings Shubha kartari yoga, or if the 12th and 2nd houses have malefics, then it has papakartari yoga. These days, astrologers check this lagna with all the houses. For example, if the 4th house is in Shubha Kartari, it is a good yoga for happiness at home, having your own house and conveyances, and having a good relationship with the mother.

If the 10th house is in Papa Kartari yoga, then the native will struggle in their career. There will be a kind of dissatisfaction with the job.

The remedies for papakartari yoga are not to take any risks related to the house, which is under this papakartari yoga. In this yoga, we take only natural benefics and malefics into consideration. Not the temporary benefics and malefics. This yoga can form any divisional chart, which requires expert interpretation. There will be numerous yogas in one horoscope , if one shows negative results, there will be multiple other yogas which shows progress, so we  need to look at the horoscope in a totality. Just one good yoga or bad yoga do not show the full results. 

 

Ch:2  Brihad Parasara Hora Sastra , Athavatrara Kadhanadhyaya

 Athavatrara Kadhanadhyaya

 

The name of the chapter is The Great Incarnations of Lord Vishnu. In the beginning of this chapter, Sage Maitreya is asking Sage Parasara to describe whether Lord Vishnu, Shree Rama, and Shree Krishna are endowed with Jeevamsa.

In the first chapter, there is no mention of “Jeevamsa” as a word, but it means five elements in nature.

Firstly, there are many schools of thought in Hindu tradition, but being a monotheist, what I believe is God himself as all the goodness and bad things. As a monotheist, I would say, don’t fall into the trap of various theories about God, as God is a simple concept as well as reality, as God created everything. From he comes the good and evil, if someone says God created good things and someone else created bad things, which is ultimately foolish, as God itself is the reason for everything. God created flowers; they themselves ignite people to rape. It’s very simple; our duty is to choose what we have to do.

 

Jeevamsa is a vast topic, yet it can be simplified as more human-like nature. For Sage Maitreya’s question, Sage Parasara says that out of the great incarnations of Vishnu, Ram, Krishna, and Varaha are fully godly, and they are filled with paramatma, but the rest of the incarnations have dominant jeevamsa. When we read this chapter, we should realize that Sage Parasara is a monotheist who ardently follows Vishnu. Out of his admiration for Vishnu, he has recited the Vishnu Purana.

Jeevamsa and Paramatmanas

These are the two highlights of this chapter, and only those deeply connected to any kind of theology can understand these terms. Jeevamsa means that part of our life that is required to live on this earth, while Paramatmanas is the supreme spirit that is within us or surrounds us and is indestructible.

Shloka 3–4 has a word, which is unborn Lord. This shloka will take us to the battle ground of Kurukshetra, which is mentioned in Bhagavad Gita Chapter 4. Jnana Yoga

In this chapter of the 5th shloka, Lord Krisha says that he is unborn. That means he never takes birth or dies; that means Lord Vishnu, who is the ultimate god, is eternal without birth or death.

Sage Parasara continues, as Lord Vishnu himself is the force behind all the creations, including the grahas. The ones with more paramatmanas are known as heavenly beings.

 

The ending paragraph says that people with more Jeevatma are mortals, and those with more paramatmanas reincarnate from various grahas, and after completing the mission on earth, they will merge back into the grahas. At the end of the final destruction, all grahas will merge into Lord Vishnu. Again, Sage Parasara says, only divine people can understand these, and those who know them will become well versed in the past, present, and future. In the last sentence, Sage Parasara says those who don’t acknowledge this science will go to hell named ‘Raurava’ and be reborn as blind.

 

In this chapter, too, he doesn’t say anything about creation.

 

Chapter 1, Brihad Parasara Horasastra,Srishtikram Kadhanadhyyaya.

 

 The name of the first chapter of the Brihad Parasara Hora Sastra is Srishtikramakadhanadhyyaya. As the name says, this chapter is about creation. The entire BPHS is presented as a conversation between Sage Parasara and Sage Maitreya.


Sage Maitreya, also known as Maitreya Rishi or Maitreya Maharishi, is a revered figure in Hindu mythology and scriptures. He is considered one of the great sages (rishis) of ancient times and is often depicted as a wise and learned scholar. Maitreya is known for his profound knowledge of spiritual teachings, including the Vedas and other sacred texts. He is particularly associated with being a disciple of Sage Parashara and transmitting his teachings to later generations, especially the Puranas and the Vishnu Purana. Sage Maitreya is also mentioned in various other Hindu texts, where he appears as a conversational partner or a narrator of important mythological events.

 

The chapter begins with Maitreya requesting Sage Parasara to explain which among these Horā, Ganita and Samhita is great and how this universe was created. How will it end? Relationship with earthlings and heavenly bodies?

Parasara appreciates Sage Maitreya and says, as he has asked a valid question, that astrology is for the benefit of the people, but only a peacefully disposed person can be an astrologer.

Then Sage Parasara describes how the universe was constructed by Lord Vishnu. This single entity contains various energies, which take different forms.

In this chapter, he has mentioned various forms of energies, like, firstly, three gunas.

In 13–15, it says the three powers are Śrī Shakti (Mother Lakshmi) with Sattva-Gun, Bhū Shakti (Mother-Earth) with Rajo-Gun, and Nīl Shakti with Tamo-Gun. Vishnu has all three gunas, but there is a fourth guna, which is coupled with Sri sakti and Bhu sakti.

 

Shree Shakti: “Shree” often refers to Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth, prosperity, and fortune in Hinduism. “Shakti” denotes power or energy. So, “Shree Shakti” can be interpreted as the divine power or energy associated with the goddess Lakshmi. It symbolizes abundance, prosperity, and auspiciousness.

 

Bhu Shakti: “Bhu” means earth or land. So, “Bhu Shakti” could be understood as the divine power or energy associated with the earth. It may symbolize fertility, stability, and nurturing qualities attributed to the earth.

 

Nil Shakti: “Nil” typically means blue. In Hinduism, blue is often associated with the god Vishnu or his incarnations, such as Krishna. “Shakti” again refers to power or energy. So, “Nil Shakti” could signify the divine power or energy associated with Vishnu or Krishna. It may represent qualities such as preservation, protection, and cosmic order.

 

These three shaktis are also known as the three gunas.

Sattva Guna: Sattva is the quality of purity, harmony, and light. It represents intelligence, goodness, and positivity. When a person’s mind is predominantly influenced by Sattva Guna, they exhibit qualities such as clarity, peace, and spiritual awareness. Sattva Guna is associated with virtues like compassion, wisdom, and contentment.

 

Rajo Guna: Raja signifies activity, dynamism, and passion. Rajo Guna is characterized by restlessness, desire, and attachment. When one’s mind is dominated by Rajo Guna, they tend to be driven by ambition, seek pleasure, and engage in various actions motivated by personal gain or achievement. It’s associated with qualities like ambition, restlessness, and competitiveness.

 

Tamo Guna: Tama represents darkness, inertia, and ignorance. Tamo Guna is associated with qualities such as lethargy, delusion, and inertia. When the mind is under the influence of Tamo Guna, it tends to be clouded by ignorance, laziness, and negativity. This state can lead to behaviors characterized by apathy, procrastination, and dullness.

 

So, in short, what I think Parasara described about the nature of Lord Vishnu who has positive as well as negative energies in him. That is the content of the first chapter of BPHS, and in this chapter he has not said anything about creation. He is all praise about Lord Vishnu, that’s all.

 

Decoding Ancient Wisdom: A Concise Overview of Brihat Parasara Hora Shastra”

 

 

I like to start everything on a positive note and end it on a positive note only. In my daily life also, I like to talk, act and think positively, but practically.  However, I have to start this article with a slight negative touch so that I can take an anticipatory bail. The first thing is that I am very bad at keeping promises. I don’t like to give or take promises. I have realized my weakness, so for the last sixteen years, I have not given or taken any promises from anyone. It is a commitment, and I hate commitments, no matter what the commitment is.

 You will be wondering why I am whipping out all these, and perhaps, as you may think, I am vetting out my frustration. No, never. I want to start a series of articles about Brihat Parasara Hora Sastra in a simplified manner so that every layman can understand what this beautiful book holds. Today I want to publish the first article in this series, but I have to jot down a few points about myself and my faith so that people can understand my articles better.

 Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra, often referred to simply as Parashara Hora Shastra, is a foundational and authoritative text in Vedic astrology (Jyotisha). It is attributed to the ancient sage Parashara and is considered one of the most comprehensive and detailed treatises on astrology within the Vedic tradition. The word “Hora” in the title refers to the study of time and its influence on earthly and individual destinies.

Sage Parasara, a revered figure in Hindu theology, is renowned for his significant contributions to Vedic astrology and ancient Indian scriptures. Believed to have lived during the Dvapara Yuga, he is credited as the founder of the Scriptures in Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra. He did not write this, but these scriptures were passed through generations as Sruthis, but some years back, these scriptures got into the print form. This comprehensive work outlines the principles of astrology, providing insights into planetary movements, horoscope interpretations, and predictive techniques.

 

Parasara is also recognized as the father of Vyasa, the sage who composed the epic Mahabharata. His teachings extend beyond astrology, encompassing various aspects of dharma (righteousness), spirituality, and the cosmic order. Parasara’s wisdom is embedded in the Puranas and revered Hindu scriptures, influencing the understanding of cosmic laws and the interconnectedness of life.

 

Known for his ascetic lifestyle and profound knowledge, Sage Parasara’s legacy endures through the continued study and practice of Vedic astrology. Devotees and scholars alike hold him in high esteem, acknowledging his role in shaping the spiritual and astrological landscape of ancient India. His teachings continue to inspire seekers on the path of self-discovery and cosmic understanding.

The point I want to stress is that BPHS (Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra) is part of Hindu theology, and it is the collection of Vedic scriptures taught to Sage Maitreya by Sage Parasara. It is ultimately the result of Vedic thoughts rooted in the Vedic deities, Vedic creation, and Vedic philosophy. Meanwhile, I am a hardcore monotheist who doesn’t follow the Vedic lifestyle or Vedic faith.

Many people get confused when I say I am a monotheist. They ask, Are you Christian? I say no. Are you Muslim? I say no. I ask them only one thing: Does God have a religion? Why would God have a religion? Guys, I have no religion, and I have never taught any religion to my children. I am from a Communist family, and by God’s grace, we don’t talk about religion or God in our family. The most dangerous person in the world is the one who fights for their religion and god, because this guy has no faith in his own god that it can protect itself. As far as I know, God doesn’t own any religion; it cannot be pleased by any rituals other than good karma and a good lifestyle.

I don’t have any particular rituals; I don’t ridicule any religion or their deities; and moreover, I don’t worship any idols, as it is against my faith as God cannot be compromised into an idol. However, I don’t make fun of any religion or if someone worships an idol, as that’s their freedom. Never fight in the name of God, because noone has ever seen it.

 

So, when a person like me venture into a branch of Vedic culture, definitely people will raise their brows, on how am I going to fit into this stream. Especially, I have studied astrology from short-term classes in International Astrology Classes Bharatiya Vidya Bhawan from Guruji K. N. Raoji.

 

I will share my experience from my astrology class. In that class, Guruji was teaching about Pancham Bhava, which means 5th house. Guruji taught using certain horoscopes, and then he was telling how the gayatri mantra helped a person recover from the bedridden stage. I am a monotheist; I can’t recite the Gayatri mantra. I humbly asked him, for those who do not practice Vedic culture, what do they do instead of chanting the Gayatri  mantra? His answer pacified me a lot, as he said, It doesn’t matter; you pray to the entity that you trust. Guruji is Guruji; he knows every disciple’s thought process.

I will never ever bow my head in front of an idol; it is like death for me. If someone does that, I will never ridicule him because he can relate to it. Let him do that. Finally, no one has ever seen God. That’s what all theological principles say.

In Hinduism, I can relate more to Advaita Vedanta, which is a philosophical and spiritual tradition that originates from the ancient Vedic scriptures of India. “Advaita” means “non-dual” in Sanskrit, and Vedanta refers to the end or culmination of the Vedas, the oldest sacred texts of Hinduism. Advaita Vedanta is primarily associated with the teachings of Adi Shankaracharya, an influential philosopher and theologian who lived in the 8th century CE.

 

The central concept of Advaita Vedanta is the principle of non-duality (Advaita), which asserts that ultimate reality, often referred to as Brahman, is without any form of differentiation or division. In other words, there is only one ultimate, unchanging, and undivided reality that transcends the world of appearances. This oneness is considered the true nature of the self (Atman), and realizing this oneness is the goal of human life.

 

Key tenets of Advaita Vedanta include:

 

Brahman: The ultimate reality, often described as formless, infinite, and beyond all attributes. Brahman is considered the source and essence of everything in the universe.

 

Atman: the individual self or soul. According to Advaita Vedanta, the Atman is not separate from the Brahman; they are essentially the same. Realizing the oneness of Atman and Brahman is the path to liberation (moksha).

 

Maya: The illusory and transient nature of the world. Maya is the power that creates the appearance of diversity and separation in the world, but it is not ultimately real.

 

Jiva: The individual soul, which is often seen as trapped in the cycle of birth and death (samsara) due to ignorance (avidya) of its true nature.

 

Moksha: liberation or self-realization. Attaining moksha involves recognizing the non-dual nature of reality and realizing one’s identity with Brahman. This is considered the ultimate goal of life in Advaita Vedanta.

 

Advaita Vedanta has had a significant influence on Hindu philosophy and spirituality. While it is rooted in Hindu traditions, its teachings have also inspired thinkers and practitioners from various religious and philosophical backgrounds.

 

So, I was telling you that when I interpret BPHS, it will have the best logic from all religions, good points from the practical side, behavioral management, hypnosis, psychotherapy, psychology, or anything that can rejuvenate the person, not limiting him within the four walls of any religion. Its common sense, God doesn’t need religion if you say religion, then it is not from God.

Chapters 88–97 in BPHS mention remedial measures, but this chapter is not suitable for the entire architecture of BPHS. These remedial measures mention worshiping various planets, devas, nakshatras, and deities, which was not the form of worship of Sage Parasara. Firstly, Sage Parasara lived in Dvapara yuga, which is the age of Lord Krishna. He was a Krishna devotee.

 

Srimad Bhagvatam   1.3.21. says this:

tataḥ saptadaśe jātaḥ

satyavatyāṁ parāśarāt

cakre veda-taroḥ śākhā

dṛṣṭvā puṁso ’lpa-medhasaḥ

Thereafter, in the seventeenth incarnation of Godhead, Śrī Vyāsadeva appeared in the womb of Satyavatī through Parāśara Muni, and he divided the one Veda into several branches and sub branches, seeing that the people in general were less intelligent.

Vishnupurana is also by Sage Parasa, so the strict Vyshna followers do not worship any other deity other than the incarnations of Lord Vishnu. Gurji Shree K. N. Rao is a Lord Krishna devotee.

Even though Parasara has praised Agni and Soma in Rigveda Chapter 1, we don’t see him praying to them. So, indeed, Parasara was also a monotheist.

In Bhagavad-gita 7.20, Lord Krishna openly says

Kamais tais tair hrita-jnanah prapadyante ’nya-devatah
tam tam niyamam asthaya prakritya niyatah svaya.

Those whose knowledge has been carried away by material desires surrender to the celestial gods. Following their own nature, they worship the devatās, practicing rituals meant to propitiate these celestial personalities.

The very next Scripture can be alightly contradictory.

Bhagavad-gita 7.21

Yo yo yam yam tanum bhaktah shraddhayarchitum ichchhati
tasya tasyachalam shraddham tam eva vidadhamyaham

Whatever celestial form a devotee seeks to worship with faith, I steady the faith of such a devotee in that form.

  

Bhagavad-gita 7.22 will clearly show what the Lord wants to say.

sa taya shraddhaya yuktas tasyaradhanam ihate
labhate cha tatah kaman mayaiva vihitan hi tan

Endowed with faith, the devotee worships a particular celestial god and obtains the objects of desire. But in reality, I alone arrange these benefits.

 

That means you or I pray; the answers are from one source. You can call it Krishna, Allah, or Yehova, or, like I call it, simply GOD.

 So, what I was trying to say is that I will interpret BPHS chapter by chapter without corrupting the fundamentals of this divine science, which is purely made up of the main kind.

Still, I cannot promise how often I will write it, as I don’t like giving or taking commitments. I literally hate that. If you like to read, you read it. Otherwise, leave it. Still, it was my true desire to translate this complex book for those who really wanted to know it.

The Fiery Essence: Exploring the Fire Element in Astrology( Aries, Leo and Sagittarius)

 

 

In the intricate tapestry of astrology, the four elements – Fire, Earth, Air, and Water – play a pivotal role in shaping the characteristics and temperaments of individuals based on their birth charts. The Fire element, represented by the zodiac signs Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius, embodies passion, dynamism, and the spark of life. In this article, we will delve into the depths of the Fire element, exploring its significance, characteristics, and impact on astrological profiles.

 

The Essence of Fire

Fire, as an element, is associated with transformative energy, creativity, and the driving force of life. It symbolizes inspiration, enthusiasm, and the ability to initiate change. In astrology, the Fire signs are considered to be assertive, energetic, and often visionary, possessing a burning desire to leave their mark on the world.

Aries: The Pioneer
Aries, the first sign of the zodiac, is ruled by Mars, the planet of energy and action. Individuals born under this Fire sign are often characterized by their boldness, leadership qualities, and a relentless pursuit of their goals. Aries’ fiery nature is evident in their quick decision-making and a natural inclination to take risks. The Ram charges forward with unbridled enthusiasm, embodying the essence of the Fire element.

Leo: The Creative Flamboyance
Ruled by the radiant Sun, Leo is the embodiment of creativity, self-expression, and regal charisma. Leos are often associated with the warmth and brightness of a roaring fire. Their passion for life, love, and the spotlight fuels their desire to shine and be recognized. The Fire element in Leo individuals manifests as a vibrant, theatrical energy that seeks to illuminate their surroundings.

Sagittarius: The Adventurous Explorer
Governed by expansive Jupiter, Sagittarius embodies the spirit of adventure and the quest for higher knowledge. Sagittarians are known for their optimistic outlook, love of exploration, and a perpetual quest for truth. The Fire element in Sagittarius individuals is a driving force that pushes them beyond boundaries, encouraging them to seek new horizons and broaden their intellectual and spiritual horizons.

Common Traits of Fire Signs

Unlocking Destiny: The Significance of Karakamsa Lagna in Vedic Astrology” 

 

There is something in the universe that triggers everything; no one knows exactly what it is. Astrology is the science that shows the direction of the energy that triggers the universe collectively and individually. There is no science better than astrology, which can decode that divine energy, which is positive as well as negative at the same time. This energy is divine and devilish at the same time. Those who direct their lives towards the positive and divine side will always have hope, but those who move towards the negative and devilish side are cursed. This energy can be God, and God itself can be positive and negative; it can be divine and devilish at the same time. I pity those who believe God sent his angels to destroy the devil, because God himself is the devil.

While you want to choose the direction of your life, astrology will come to your rescue. The only problem is that astrologers should be trained. Then only you can understand the pattern of your life. If your knowledge is limited to weekly and monthly horoscopes in the tabloid, you have no idea what astrology is or how it works.

In this article, I am going to tell you about one such theme in astrology, which has helped me to make my life more meaningful and defining.

 That is nothing but Karakamsa lagna. Let me tell you, I have traveled through madness to understand me, my talents, and my flaws. No one who crosses the path, including my parents, my friends, my classmates, or anyone else, could define the meaning of life, which I understand now, in that depth. In fact, I can see they themselves were lost in the mohmaya. I totally understand how ancient Rishis left isolated places so that they could be peaceful. It’s very hard for a spiritualist to be in the material world and find happiness. Many times in my life, I have come across the thought of quitting everything to live in an isolated cave in the Himalayas. Astrology gives an impartial definition of your life, which can surely make you more enlightened.

 Karakamsa Lagna is a significant concept in Vedic astrology, delving into the intricacies of one’s spiritual path and life purpose. It is derived from the Navamsa (the ninth harmonic chart), specifically focusing on the placement of Atmakaraka, the planet with the highest degree in the Navamsa chart. The atmakaraka represents the soul’s desire and the essence of one’s self.

 Karakamsa Lagna serves as a key indicator of the soul’s journey, shedding light on the individual’s innermost aspirations and the overarching theme of their life. Each planet in the Karakamsa chart carries a unique significance, influencing various facets of the person’s existence. For instance, the Moon in the Karakamsa Lagna may signify emotional fulfillment, while Jupiter can point to spiritual growth and wisdom.

 Understanding the Karakamsa Lagna goes beyond predicting external events; it is a profound exploration of the soul’s evolution. Astrologers analyze the placement of planets in the Karakamsa chart to decipher the karmic patterns and lessons that an individual is meant to encounter in this lifetime. This concept emphasizes the spiritual dimension of astrology, guiding individuals toward a deeper comprehension of their life purpose and the inherent qualities they need to cultivate for personal and spiritual growth.

To find the Karakamsa Lagna in a horoscope, follow these steps:

 Cast the Navamsa Chart (D-9): The Navamsa Chart is a divisional chart in Vedic astrology that divides each sign into nine equal parts. It is derived from the main birth chart (Rasi Chart).

 Identify the Atmakaraka Planet: In the Navamsa Chart, look for the planet with the highest degree. This planet is known as the Atmakaraka, and it represents the self or the soul.

 Locate the sign of Atmakaraka in the Navamsa Chart: Find the sign placement of the Atmakaraka planet in the lagna  chart.

 Identify the Karakamsa Lagna: The Karakamsa Lagna is the Navamsa Lagna of the sign where the Atmakaraka is placed. In other words, the sign occupied by the Atmakaraka planet becomes the Karakamsa Lagna.

 For example, if the Atmakaraka is in the sign of Sagittarius in the Navamsa Chart, then Sagittarius becomes the Karakamsa Lagna. Make Sagittarius in the lagna chart as your lagna and thats your karkamsa lagnaa

 Understanding the Karakamsa Lagna and its placement in various houses can provide insights into one’s spiritual path, career, and overall life direction in Vedic astrology.

 How to make use of Karakamsa Lagna and Planet in your life

Your soul left some unfinished business in the past life, and that is indicated by Karakamsa lagna. That means you are here to follow the directions given by the karakamsa lagna. It should be seen through the placement in the lagna chart as well. If the karakamsa lagna has an affliction that means you should take the advice of a learned person to identify the correct path. The same goes with the ruler of Karakamsa Lagna, Lord. The more you embrace the energy of karakamsa, you will be more content. It gives you a unique path towards enlightenment and happiness so that you don’t get lost in the competitiveness of the material world.

 

 

Late Marriage or Denial of Marriage in the Horoscope

 Marriage in Astrology: A Realistic Approach

 

To begin with, getting married is not your right; it is just alms thrown at your face by God. You don’t deserve anything, but everything you get is God-given, so don’t think you deserve anything. Last week, I got around six consultations for marriage. Most of them were 40 or older, and they wanted to know when they wanted to get married. Trust me, I did not take any of those consultations because I knew these people had no clue how astrology works in marriage predictions. I was so angry with one person when he said he took consultations from many astrologers, but still he is not getting married. Maybe they told him that one day he would get married, not to disappoint him. Yes, we astrologers come under pressure to tell the truth or not. People will say they will bear the harshness of the truth, but no one can do that. If we tell the truth, people will get depressed. However, I have told many people not to get married by looking at their horoscope, because it is visible that marriage will ruin this person to those depths where he or she cannot come back.

Firstly, let me ask you: who told you that you would get married? How do you comprehend that marriage is necessary in this life? Have you ever checked the horoscope to see whether marriage is a promised event in your life? Finally, no one cares a shit about you getting married or not. Maybe you are not fit to have a good marital life. Fitness could be on a spiritual, physical, psychological, or financial level. If you are forcing someone into marriage are you sure that he or she is sexually capable of having a good marriage? Are you sure that the person does not have any STDs? Is that person clean or unclean? Being a lawyer who practices in family court, I know couples divorced because one of the spouses did not care to take a bath, brush, or live a clean life. Are you sure the person is not psychologically fit to take care of the needs of the spouse? Who knows if the person is gay?

 

I am so fed up with these people who think marriage is their birth right. No. It is not.

 

If God wants you to be single, then he may want to end your generation so that he can bring something good into this world. Have no children? The same thing: God wants to end your bloodline. For you, these things may be horrifying, as that is the fake belief society has injected in you that you have to get married and have children. These are the prerequisites set by society, not by God.

Now comes the generation of those astrologers who fool people in the name of horoscope compatibility. A technique that never works at any angle in astrology

 

If your horoscope does not show marriage, go towards a single life happily. You will be progressing, happy, and content for the rest of your life.

 

My Guruji, Shree K. N. Raoji, always shares his story in our class. While growing up, his mother told him not to marry as he would not be able to live a happy marital life. So, he obeyed his mother, and now sees how blessed life he has.

 

The promise in the horoscope matters a lot. If it assures a marriage, you will marry. If it doesn’t assure you, please run away from the marriage. You will fail at every step if you get into a marriage. Why produce a depressive generation that cannot find happiness in anything?

 I never spoke so openly about it, but I think it is very important to understand why marriage is very sensitive and you need to deal with that carefully.

 In this article, I will state some planetary placements that show late marriage or denial of marriage.

 

  • When the 7th house of D1 and D9 is afflicted, this affliction should be 100%, and there should not be any beneficial relationship.
  • The 7th Lord in the Moksha Houses in Retrogression
  • The 7th Lord being malefic in the 9th house
  • A malefic is in the seventh house in the birth or navamsha chart.
  • For males, Venus, and for females, Jupiter is the karka for marriage. If they both have any affliction and are placed in Dursthana houses without any conjunction
  • The seventh and eighth houses of Trimsamsa are afflicted by malefic
  • The Navamsa 7th Lord is aspected by malefics.

 

 As an astrologer, my suggestion is to avoid marriage consultations. You will get married if you are destined to get married. Otherwise, maybe God knows your marriage will end in trauma; that’s why he is not dragging you into that. So spend time in meaningful things in building up your career. After all marriage is a union with your enemy as the 1st house indicates self and 7th house indicates open enemies. Both should be in a good placement to have a good marriage. Finally don’t go to those frauds who promote horoscope compatibility, guys it is a myth in astrology. No Horoscope Compatibility exist or work. The promise, that’s what matters. Let me tell you, I can show atleast 50 astrologers who are single because they realized that their marriage is not promised or the marriage will  ruin their lives.

 

“Venusian Wealth: Understand your wealth starts through Venus in the Navamsa Chart”

 

Navamsa, a vital component in Vedic astrology, is the ninth divisional chart that delves into the intricacies of one’s life, offering profound insights into their destiny and marital prospects. Known as the “Dharma Chart,” it provides a nuanced perspective on a person’s character, emphasizing the spiritual dimension and karmic patterns. It is derived from the lagna horoscope, and the Navamsa is a very important chart.

 

 Despite the chart, Venus indicates wealth in the horoscope. The navamsa shows how strong this Venus is. The navamsa shows the actual strength of the planet. In Vedic astrology, Venus, known as Shukra, is a significant planet associated with love, beauty, and creativity. It governs relationships, pleasures, and material comforts. Venus influences one’s aesthetic preferences and social interactions, contributing to harmony and sensuality. Its placement in a birth chart can indicate aspects of romantic life and artistic inclinations.

In Vedic astrology, the karaka of wealth and luck is Jupiter, but we can never ignore Venus when we count the quantity of wealth that we are going to attain in this birth.

In Vedic astrology, Venus is one step ahead of Jupiter, as Venus is the holder of Sanjivni Vidya, which can resurrect people from the dead. It is the one planet that does well in almost all houses, especially in the 8th house of transformations. When Venus is here, it shows that the native will somehow break his shackles and rise up like a phoenix.

 In traditional Hindu homes, people worship Mahalakshmi, who is the goddess of wealth, on Fridays, the day dedicated to Venus, or Shukra. So the inner strength of Venus in Navamsa gives you the right idea about your wealth.

 The zodiac signs are divided into three categories: moveable, fixed, and dual. Chara, Sthira, and Dwiswabhava Rashi They are

Moveable (Chara) Signs:

Aries (Mesha)

Cancer (Karka)

Libra (Tula)

Capricorn (Makara)

 

Fixed (Sthira) Signs:

 Taurus (Vrishabha)

Leo (Simha)

Scorpio (Vrishchika)

Aquarius (Kumbha)

 

Dual (Dviswabhava) signs:

 

Gemini (Mithuna)

Virgo (Kanya)

Sagittarius (Dhanu)

Pisces (Meena)

 When Venus is in sthira rashi, or fixed sign in Navamsa, you will have money for your needs. Even if your financial foundation is a bit weak, you will have money when you want it.

 The sthira rasi, or fixed signs, are constructed of different elements.

 Taurus (Vrishabha) is an earth element.

Leo (Simha) is a fire element.

Scorpio (Vrishchika) is a water element.

Aquarius (Kumbha) is an air element.

 When Venus is in moveable rasi, which means you will make money through your creative pursuits. You will be very active in making money through your own ventures. You will have multiple sources of income, especially the moveable rasis, which means they are moving. Moveable Ras will give you some projects that can give you daily earnings, like freelancing too. This is a very good indication. Still, it can be a bit tiring as you have to focus on multiple sources, but at the end of the day, you will have a lot of earnings from various sources. There is a threat to your Venus being in moveable rasi as it shows the financial status will be changing.

 These elements do have a say in the condition of your finances. When Venus is in a fixed element, you will have to work hard for money, as fixed rasi indicates hard work, and it also indicates physical labor. At the same time, being on earth, Venus will give you a stable income. Such people may not have multiple sources of income, or they may not be ready to take risks with their finances.

 When your Venus is in dwiswabha, or dual rasi, this shows you are confused about your wealth. This shows that your financial strength will vary. You have to focus more on your career. This Venus shows you must have some intellectual moves to make your money.

  In Vedic astrology, which is also known as Jyotish, the system of elements is similar to Western astrology but is applied to the lunar signs, or moon signs (Rashi), rather than the sun signs. The elements in Vedic astrology are earth, water, fire, and air. Each element is associated with three specific moon signs. Here is how the elements are distributed in Vedic astrology:

 Now let’s see the elements.

If Venus is in a fixed sign in both, that means you have money at all times; it doesn’t have any growth or reduction. So, you need to focus on savings.

 Yes, the PAC of Venus is also an important factor in understanding this.
