In Astrology it is understood that at any point of time nature is
governed by a planet and the position of that planet in the horoscope
determines how the native will feel or behave.
This chapter details the calculation of the planet acting at any point of time and the period for which the planet rules.
This chapter details the calculation of the planet acting at any point of time and the period for which the planet rules.
There are three basic parameters in a horoscope : 1. planet 2.
house and 3. Rashi (sign). Twelve rashis are spread over twelve houses;
on an average one rashi occupies one house. However, rashi is exactly
300, whereas a house may vary in size and the starting of house may fall
at any rashi at any point. It is equivalent to placing one circle over
the other, both having same dimensions, but any one point on
circumference of one circle can be made to align with any point on
circumference of the other circle. The rest of the circle gets
automatically placed. Similarly in a horoscope we determine the Lagna
(first house position) and place the rashi circle over the rest of the
twelve houses.
After fixing the signs over houses we place the planets in the
various houses. Since there are only nine planets and some planets
combine together in a house, some houses are left empty. The planets
possess some intrinsic properties and when mixed with the colour of sign
and house they occupy, they change their colour, leading to different
behaviour, at different time of births. Study of this change in
behaviour of the planets is basic astrology.
There are three basic reasons why planets behave differently, like
- the house in which it is placed.
- the house in which it is placed.
- the house in which it is placed.
Once the planet's behaviour is ascertained because of its placement,
the results are changed with time, depending upon Dasha operating at
that time. Dasha tells us which planet is effective to give results at
what time.
To understand what the horoscope has in store for a native, let us
study how the planets have co-relation with life. We give below the
basic nature of planets and houses and also what they signify.

Strength of Planets
The planets gain strength at certain points and behave differently in
different signs and houses. They show different relationships with
different planets.
Planets own certain signs. Sun and Moon own one sign and other
planets own two signs each. Rahu - ketu, being pseudo planets, do not
own any sign. Planets get exalted or become powerful at certain points
and get debilitated exactly 1800 away. Moon, Mercury, Jupiter and Venus
are benefic by nature and others are malefic as shown in the table below
.
For any ascendant, some planets become Yogakaraka or maraka,
depending upon the house they own. This is one of the most important
factor in prediction. A yogakaraka planet shows good results in its
dasha or antar Dasha. Stones are suggested only for a yogakaraka planet.
if a planet is benefic only then it is good to make it strong ; else it
will harm the native. planets which are yogakaraka for each ascendant
is given in the table below.
Benefics - Lords of 1,5,9
Yogakaraka and lords of 4, 7, 8, if natural malefic.
Malefics - Lords of 3,6,
Maraka 11and lords of 4,7,10,if natural benefic
Neutral - Lord of 2,8, 12.
Yogakaraka and lords of 4, 7, 8, if natural malefic.

In the next lesson we shall study how to use these data for predictions.
To predict horoscope, consider the houses one by one and see the
planets placed in the house, the planets aspecting it,
the placement of its lord and the planets aspecting it, or associated
with the lord. Amalgamation of the effects of these units give, us the
complete prediction about the horoscope.
Now consider 2nd house. Dhanasthan or house of wealth contains Jupiter, the Karaka for this house. It indicates native will acquire wealth by own earnings. Jupiter in 2nd house also gives soft and impressive voice. But there is aspect of Mars on 2nd house. So sometimes words are lost while speaking. This aspect also gives a tendency that people misunderstand or misinterpret his words. The lord Mercury is placed in 5th house, so the native is a professional, who earns by his knowledge. Look at 3rd house. Venus is there in 3rd house - its own house. Mars is having 8th aspect on 3rd house. Also Moon has 7th aspect on this house. A benefic planet in 3rd house gives younger sister and good relationship with co-borns. Mars' aspect disturbs writing power and Moon's aspect gives good throat and voice. It also gives lot of short journeys in life.
4th house, the house of comforts, has three malefic planets - Rahu, Saturn and Sun, making the native restless at home. This situation is further aggravated by the presence of 4th lord Mars in 8th house. So many planets in 4th house ensures comforts at home, but the malefics indicate one does not pay attention to home. It also indicates bad health of mother. Saturn and Rahu indicate good education for the native.
5th house contains Mercury in the house owned by Jupiter. It is also in exchange Yoga with Jupiter from 2nd house. This gives very good calculation power. It also ensures son to the native. This also gives knowledge of astrology and computers to the native.
6th house is owned by Saturn and aspected by Jupiter from 2nd house and Saturn from 4th house. 3rd aspect of Saturn gives success over enemies and Jupiter ensures native has to do some work by hand, like typing on computer.
7th house is not aspected by any planet and its lord Saturn is placed in 4th house, which is 10th from 7th house. This gives native a working wife. Saturn gives a wife with fair complexion belonging to an orthodox family. It also indicates business partnerships that will not be smooth.
8th house, the house of longevity, contains Mars in the house of Jupiter, aspected by Jupiter itself. Presence of Mars indicates many accidents in one's life, but Jupiter saves from all such accidents. He will also be benefited from insurance. He will get property from his parents. Mars in 8th gives medium longevity, but Jupiter stretches it.
contains Moon, aspected by Venus, indicating good luck for the native. The benefic planets in the house of religion also make the native religious. He also undertakes long travel because of these two planets.
The Karmasthana 10th house is occupied by Ketu and has aspect of Jupiter from 2nd house and Sun and Saturn from 4th house. Jupiter's aspect makes the native a businessman, Ketu brings him into computers, Saturn associates him with industry and Sun ensures that he is at the top of affairs in his business environment. 10th lord Venus in 3rd house, the house of courage, further ensures business and indicates courageous steps in his line of action.
11th house, the house of gains, has aspect of Mercury and Mars. Since the house is ruled by Mercury and its lord is in 5th house aspecting it, the native earns by intellect, but aspect of Mars from 8th house reduces profits into losses too. So the over all success is not at par with the work done by the native.
12th house is owned by Moon and since its lord is placed in 9th house, it indicates that the native gains from far off land. Export and import will give him gains. It also ensures many foreign tours for the native.
This way we see that to analyze the horoscope we interpret the house one by one, or interpret the house whose subject matter we want to know. First we see what are the planets posited in that house. Then see the aspects over these planets, or this house and then see where the lord of the concerned house is placed and which are the planets aspecting it. Proper amalgamation of the properties and a little practice of linking things together gives you the best of prediction.
The special effects in the horoscope can be seen by looking at the various Yogas formed in the horoscope. The powerful Yogas take away the attention from other aspects and they become more effective in life. For example, in this horoscope Jupiter and Mercury are in exchange Yoga, that is, Jupiter is in the house of Mercury and Mercury in the house of Jupiter. This exchange gives the native a strong liking for calculation and astrology, since the exchange is between 2nd and 5th houses. It increases the intelligence level and gives him a professional career. Similarly Moon is pressed between Mars and Ketu from both the sides, forming Durdhura Yoga, which gives native wealth, fame and power.
Absence of any strong Dhana Yoga makes him a man of normal means. Individually the Yogas sometimes reverse the effects of the planets completely. More and more knowledge of Yogas makes a man better and better astrologer. In the next lesson we shall see how to time the events in ones life by using Dasha and transits.
The native has the following Dashas :.
Balance of Dasha : Ketu 3 years 11 months 2 days
Dasha in the very childhood basically affects health of the native
and parents. During teenage it affects education, in youth it affects
mind, job and family and in old age it again affects health and the
children or the caretaker.
As we see the native went through Dasha of Ketu upto age of 4. Ketu is in the house of Venus in Kendra in the house representing father. Hence it gave good health to native and progress to father.
After the age of 4 upto age of 24 native went through Dasha of Venus. This was the age when studies were important. Venus is in its own house in the house of writing. It also represents artistic nature. the house of education, that is 4th house, has Sun, Saturn and Rahu placed there. Rahu and Saturn have the nature of making the native introvert and thoughtful. Saturn gives interest in science.
Mercury in 5th makes native calculative. So the period of Venus gave good education while making the interest of the native in science and mathematics.
From the age of 24 to the age of 30 native underwent Dasha of Sun for 6 years. Sun in this horoscope is Lagnesh in 4th house. This gave him start of his own business and gave a lot of name and fame at the young age of 24 to 30. Moon which is lord of 12th is sitting in the house of luck. It brought forward a great luck. He became quite successful in his business and started an industry.
Moon is followed by Mars from the age of 40 to 47. Though Mars is yogakaraka but is placed in 8th house. It gave a big set back and the industry was closed down.
Rahu, which is in debilitation but in Kendra in 4th house is expected to give good results; somewhat similar to the period of Sun. Rahu can give health problem.
Jupiter being 5th lord in 2nd house its Dasha will start only at the age of 62, but it may be best period of the life of the native. He may lead a serene life in this Dasha.
Transit :
To study the transit, let us consider only Saturn, Jupiter and Rahu. other planets move fast. Sun, Mercury and Venus rotate once every year. Mars takes two years to complete one cycle and Moon takes only a month. Ketu is always opposite to Rahu. So for a full life description of the transit, only three planets are sufficient. Saturn takes 30 years to complete one cycle, Rahu 18 years and Jupiter 12 years.
Similarly we consider the effect of these slow moving planets over these planets only. Transit gives significant results with respect to Moon. When Saturn crosses over Moon, we call it Sade sati. Sade sati normally gives lots of tension invariably. It gives progress or loss, depending upon the sign in which moon is. similarly Saturn crossing over 8th house from Moon also gives tension and losses.
In this case Jupiter crossed over Rahu/Saturn at the age of 2, 14, 26, 38, 50, 62 etc. Saturn crossed over Jupiter at 12, 24, 36, 48, 60 and over Rahu/Saturn at the age of 30 and 60. Rahu crossed over Rahu/Sat at the age of 18, 36, 54, So if we put this agewise it is as per the table.
If we look at the transits we invariably find Jupiter transiting over 4th house over Rahu and Saturn, has given a change of residence or has given a new property. Since Saturn is 7th lord, transit of Jupiter over 7th house gave marriage and Saturn over Rahu or Saturn gave break in business partnership.
Native went through sade sati of Saturn in 1968 and then in 1996. During the first one it gave a drop in academic results and in 2nd it gave loss in business. Saturn crossed over 8th house from Moon at the age of 30 in 1985-1988, when it gave break in partnership twice and brought the income to the rock bottom level. It also gave bad health to mother and loss of life of one of the close relatives.
In a nut shell transits seem to be showing their results very effectively; even more than Dasha. Major transits bring major changes in the life of the native. Transit of Saturn from Moon is very important. Jupiter and Rahu give equal results from lagna, as well as Moon. If we superimpose the result of Dasha over that of the transit we can predict better.
Smt. Indira Gandhi 19/11/1917 There are thousands of yogas mentioned in the text and it is not possible for an individual to learn and apply all the yogas manually on a horoscope. Therefore we give few important yogas, which one can check on a horoscope easily and can decide effectively.
Exchange yoga : This yoga is formed when two planets exchange their respective houses i.e. planet A is in house of B and planet B is in house of A. exchange yoga is good if it occurs between kendras and trikonas. The exchange makes the affected planets strong, either good or bad, depending upon the house it represents.
In the given horoscope also, there is a exchange between mercury and Jupiter from 2nd to 5th house, making the native good in calculations and astrology. This also gives the native income from mental work. There can be maximum three exchange Yogas in a horoscope involving six planets . In the horoscope of Mrs. Indira Gandhi there were three exchanges.
There is an exchange between Moon and Saturn from Lagna to 7th house, exchange between sun and Mars from 2nd and 5th house and Jupiter and Venus from 6th and 11th house.These three exchange made her a very strong lady. However, she was killed in the dasha of Saturn- Moon, because Saturn and Moon, both gave result of 7th house and became maraka for her.
Gaj Kesari Yoga : This yoga is formed when Jupiter is in Kendra from Moon . It gives wealth and power to the native.
Chandra Mangal Yoga : When Moon and Mars are together, or there is nutural aspect between them, this yoga is formed. Because of this yoga man is passionate.
Sunapha Yoga : When there are planets in 2nd house to Moon this yoga is formed. In this yoga native will have good wealth.
Anapha Yoga : When there are planets in 12th house to Moon this yoga is formed. if natural benefic planet is there, it gives name, fame, wealth and success, while natural malefic gives trouble.
Durudhara yoga : When there are planets both in the 2nd and 12th houses to Moon, benefics give good result and malefic cause trouble. benefic and malefic combined give neutral results.
Kemadrum yoga : This yoga is formed when there are no planets on both sides of Moon . Native is very poor in this case.
Vesi Yoga : When there are planet in 2nd house from Sun this yoga is formed. Natural benefic planet give good result and malefic cause trouble.
Vasi Yoga : When there are planets in 12th from Sun this yoga is formed. Natural benefic planets give good result and malefic cause trouble.
Ubhayachari yoga : When there are planets both in the 2nd and 12th house to Sun benefics give good result and malefic cause trouble. Benefic and malefic combined give neutral results.
Pancha Maha Purusha Yogas : Following are the five yogas formed by five planets- Mars, Jupiter, Mercury, Venus and Saturn :
To explain the method of prediction, I start with the example of my own horoscope :
- Dob : 13/12/1956
- TOB : 23:10
- POB : Delhi
Now consider 2nd house. Dhanasthan or house of wealth contains Jupiter, the Karaka for this house. It indicates native will acquire wealth by own earnings. Jupiter in 2nd house also gives soft and impressive voice. But there is aspect of Mars on 2nd house. So sometimes words are lost while speaking. This aspect also gives a tendency that people misunderstand or misinterpret his words. The lord Mercury is placed in 5th house, so the native is a professional, who earns by his knowledge. Look at 3rd house. Venus is there in 3rd house - its own house. Mars is having 8th aspect on 3rd house. Also Moon has 7th aspect on this house. A benefic planet in 3rd house gives younger sister and good relationship with co-borns. Mars' aspect disturbs writing power and Moon's aspect gives good throat and voice. It also gives lot of short journeys in life.
4th house, the house of comforts, has three malefic planets - Rahu, Saturn and Sun, making the native restless at home. This situation is further aggravated by the presence of 4th lord Mars in 8th house. So many planets in 4th house ensures comforts at home, but the malefics indicate one does not pay attention to home. It also indicates bad health of mother. Saturn and Rahu indicate good education for the native.
5th house contains Mercury in the house owned by Jupiter. It is also in exchange Yoga with Jupiter from 2nd house. This gives very good calculation power. It also ensures son to the native. This also gives knowledge of astrology and computers to the native.
6th house is owned by Saturn and aspected by Jupiter from 2nd house and Saturn from 4th house. 3rd aspect of Saturn gives success over enemies and Jupiter ensures native has to do some work by hand, like typing on computer.
7th house is not aspected by any planet and its lord Saturn is placed in 4th house, which is 10th from 7th house. This gives native a working wife. Saturn gives a wife with fair complexion belonging to an orthodox family. It also indicates business partnerships that will not be smooth.
8th house, the house of longevity, contains Mars in the house of Jupiter, aspected by Jupiter itself. Presence of Mars indicates many accidents in one's life, but Jupiter saves from all such accidents. He will also be benefited from insurance. He will get property from his parents. Mars in 8th gives medium longevity, but Jupiter stretches it.
contains Moon, aspected by Venus, indicating good luck for the native. The benefic planets in the house of religion also make the native religious. He also undertakes long travel because of these two planets.
The Karmasthana 10th house is occupied by Ketu and has aspect of Jupiter from 2nd house and Sun and Saturn from 4th house. Jupiter's aspect makes the native a businessman, Ketu brings him into computers, Saturn associates him with industry and Sun ensures that he is at the top of affairs in his business environment. 10th lord Venus in 3rd house, the house of courage, further ensures business and indicates courageous steps in his line of action.
11th house, the house of gains, has aspect of Mercury and Mars. Since the house is ruled by Mercury and its lord is in 5th house aspecting it, the native earns by intellect, but aspect of Mars from 8th house reduces profits into losses too. So the over all success is not at par with the work done by the native.
12th house is owned by Moon and since its lord is placed in 9th house, it indicates that the native gains from far off land. Export and import will give him gains. It also ensures many foreign tours for the native.
This way we see that to analyze the horoscope we interpret the house one by one, or interpret the house whose subject matter we want to know. First we see what are the planets posited in that house. Then see the aspects over these planets, or this house and then see where the lord of the concerned house is placed and which are the planets aspecting it.

The special effects in the horoscope can be seen by looking at the various Yogas formed in the horoscope. The powerful Yogas take away the attention from other aspects and they become more effective in life. For example, in this horoscope Jupiter and Mercury are in exchange Yoga, that is, Jupiter is in the house of Mercury and Mercury in the house of Jupiter. This exchange gives the native a strong liking for calculation and astrology, since the exchange is between 2nd and 5th houses. It increases the intelligence level and gives him a professional career.

More and more knowledge of Yogas makes a man better and better astrologer. In the next lesson we shall see how to time the events in ones life by using Dasha and transits.
To time the events in ones life, we use Dasha and transits. Dasha tells
which planet is affecting the native at a particular time, whereas
transit tells us which natal planet is vibrating because of the
transiting planet. A combined result of Dasha and transit gives us the
behaviour of the native at a particular time.
We continue with the example cited in the last article : Date of
Birth 13 :12: 1956, Time of Birth 23 :10 at Delhi. Lagna Kundli is as
given.The native has the following Dashas :.
Balance of Dasha : Ketu 3 years 11 months 2 days
| Planets | Age | |
| Ketu | upto 15:11:1960 | 4 yrs. |
| Venu | upto 15:11:1980 | 24 " |
| Sun | upto 15:11:1986 | 30 " |
| Moon | upto 15 :11:1996 | 40 " |
| Mars | upto 15:11:2003 | 47 " |
| Rahu | upto 15:11:2018 | 65 " |
| Jup | upto 15:11:2034 | 81 " |
As we see the native went through Dasha of Ketu upto age of 4. Ketu is in the house of Venus in Kendra in the house representing father. Hence it gave good health to native and progress to father.
After the age of 4 upto age of 24 native went through Dasha of Venus. This was the age when studies were important. Venus is in its own house in the house of writing. It also represents artistic nature. the house of education, that is 4th house, has Sun, Saturn and Rahu placed there. Rahu and Saturn have the nature of making the native introvert and thoughtful. Saturn gives interest in science.
Mercury in 5th makes native calculative. So the period of Venus gave good education while making the interest of the native in science and mathematics.
From the age of 24 to the age of 30 native underwent Dasha of Sun for 6 years. Sun in this horoscope is Lagnesh in 4th house. This gave him start of his own business and gave a lot of name and fame at the young age of 24 to 30. Moon which is lord of 12th is sitting in the house of luck. It brought forward a great luck. He became quite successful in his business and started an industry.
Moon is followed by Mars from the age of 40 to 47. Though Mars is yogakaraka but is placed in 8th house. It gave a big set back and the industry was closed down.
Rahu, which is in debilitation but in Kendra in 4th house is expected to give good results; somewhat similar to the period of Sun. Rahu can give health problem.
Jupiter being 5th lord in 2nd house its Dasha will start only at the age of 62, but it may be best period of the life of the native. He may lead a serene life in this Dasha.
Transit :
To study the transit, let us consider only Saturn, Jupiter and Rahu. other planets move fast. Sun, Mercury and Venus rotate once every year. Mars takes two years to complete one cycle and Moon takes only a month. Ketu is always opposite to Rahu. So for a full life description of the transit, only three planets are sufficient. Saturn takes 30 years to complete one cycle, Rahu 18 years and Jupiter 12 years.
Similarly we consider the effect of these slow moving planets over these planets only. Transit gives significant results with respect to Moon. When Saturn crosses over Moon, we call it Sade sati. Sade sati normally gives lots of tension invariably. It gives progress or loss, depending upon the sign in which moon is. similarly Saturn crossing over 8th house from Moon also gives tension and losses.
In this case Jupiter crossed over Rahu/Saturn at the age of 2, 14, 26, 38, 50, 62 etc. Saturn crossed over Jupiter at 12, 24, 36, 48, 60 and over Rahu/Saturn at the age of 30 and 60. Rahu crossed over Rahu/Sat at the age of 18, 36, 54, So if we put this agewise it is as per the table.
If we look at the transits we invariably find Jupiter transiting over 4th house over Rahu and Saturn, has given a change of residence or has given a new property. Since Saturn is 7th lord, transit of Jupiter over 7th house gave marriage and Saturn over Rahu or Saturn gave break in business partnership.
Native went through sade sati of Saturn in 1968 and then in 1996. During the first one it gave a drop in academic results and in 2nd it gave loss in business. Saturn crossed over 8th house from Moon at the age of 30 in 1985-1988, when it gave break in partnership twice and brought the income to the rock bottom level. It also gave bad health to mother and loss of life of one of the close relatives.
In a nut shell transits seem to be showing their results very effectively; even more than Dasha. Major transits bring major changes in the life of the native. Transit of Saturn from Moon is very important. Jupiter and Rahu give equal results from lagna, as well as Moon. If we superimpose the result of Dasha over that of the transit we can predict better.
We have seen how Dasha and transit determine the
