How will X cabinet ministers career be?

This is a question I have privately discussed with some people who can only be categorized either as unquestioning loyalists or bitter critics. There is no middle ground on this minister who prompts such extreme opinions.

Anyway, the chart and the Nadi significators are as follows:

As per Nadi rules, 2 6 10 11=6 10 11=6 11=10 11 > 2 11 = 11 > 2 6 10 = 6 10 > 6 = 10 > 2/7 are the good combinations for ones career.

Negative combinations are 5 8 12 > 6 8 12 = 8 12 > 5 12 = 5 8 > 6 12 = 6 8 are the negative combinations for ones career.

Favourable combinations of 10 11 and up are good enough to marginally beat the combinations of 5 8 12/ 6 8 12/ 8 12 and comprehensively beat the combination of  5 12 downwards.

Now in light of this information lets look at the combinations of this prashna chart (since I do not have the birth chart of this cabinet minister). We shall look at them planet by planet.

Ketu has 5 8 12 combination but also 10 11, plus good combinations at St and Sb levels. So its a decent planet for good career.

Venus has 5 8 at Pl level, positive at star level and 5 8 12 and 10 11 at sub level. So Venus is also positive but marginally so.

Sun is a good planet for career.

Moon is quite bad for career with a 5 8 12 combination at the Sb+St  level with no 10 11.

Mars is a good planet for career.

Rahu is a decent planet, due to 6 8 and 10 11 combinations present.

Jupiter is a  bad planet for the career. Due to 5 8 12 combination and no mitigating combination of 10 11.

Saturn and Mercury are good planets for career.

So in Ketu and Venus, the native will struggle a lot but will somehow manage to emerge victorious. But this victory may be hollow. For example, England won the 2nd world war, but at what cost?

Rahu is also similar but not as bad.

Moon and Jupiter are straight up bad planets for the man's career.

Now lets look at the horoscope. The status of the horoscope is decided by the Ascendant. The sub lord of the Ascendant is Moon. Moon is extremely bad for the career. So this tells us that while there will be relief during favourable DBAs, this is a chart of a man fighting an uphill battle.

Now lets look at the Dasha, Bhukti and Antaras:

Currently the native is in the Dasha of Jupiter. As seen earlier, Jupiter is bad for the career. But it doesnt seem so bad for him right now...why?

The reason is that he is undergoing Bhukti of Venus. While Venus is also bad, it has signified along with the 5 8 12. 4 is the house of secrets. So he is managing to keep his bad position from the people's eyes. For now anyway.

Also, he is in Mercury's antara period, which runs till 18th Feb 2015. Mercury is a good planet for the career.  After this he moves into the antara of Ketu. Ketu period upto Mid April 2015. This will be an extremely trying period for this person. He will still be able to keep things under wraps though.

Sun Antara runs from April 16th 2016 to Feb 2017, Since Sun is a good planet for career and natural karaka for government related matters, this person should see some relief come in. However, his 'status' will continue to be determined by the Dasha lord Jupiter and sub of the Ascendant Moon which will not allow him to progress higher even though the Bhukti lord grants him relief and some achievements even.

From 2 Feb 2017 however the worst period for this persons career will begin. He will be in the Dasha of Jupiter and Bhukti of Moon. This time there will be no '4' to help him protect secrecy. Because neither Jupiter nor Moon have a 4 along with 5 8 12 combination . This period suggests demotions, disappointments, delays and even dismissal from government.

I wish this person strength and the good sense to mind his karmas judiciously going forward so that the negatives may be handled. Hope that he doesnt let the Sun bhukti period fool himself into believing that the worst is over.

How will the Dynasty fare in court tomorrow? Jail or Bail?

Entire post below is hypothetical:

I cast the following chart and significators (Nadi):

The combinations are

For jail: 2 3 8 12
For house arrest: 4 8 12
For political confinement: 2 3 12
For going underground: 3 4 8 12

Also, there must be Rahu/ Ketu in the DBA. R/K are first rate malefics that show suddenness, in addition it is said that Rahu is the prime karaka for confinement.

Now let us examine the DBA.

DBA has majority of malefics: Rahu and Ketu. The Dasha lord is Jupiter which suggests that this confinement is likely judicial and not penal in nature. Not being a lawyer, I do not know the exact terminology, but you get the drift.

Jupiter signifies 3 4 8 12, Rahu signifies 3 4 8 12, Ketu signifies 3 4 8 12.

Interestingly the '2' needed for  worry to family is not signified anyway. Is is because her immediate family, the son, is also accused in the same crime and the family will be together? The other explanation is that the family may choose to go underground, which would indeed be shocking as the family has been the centre of the Indian political universe. Also, that would be akin to admitting guilt in the crime that they are currently accused of. But the chart suggests this.

Another possibility is that we take just the 4 8 12 from the 3 4 8 12 combination and say that the court may allow for house arrest. The '3' may operate by the court saying the dynasty be put under house arrest in a neutral location instead of their current residence.

Basically, some sort of confinement is indicated.

This is a mere astrological study for my education purposes. Resemblance to real life is coincidental. No liability admitted.

Missing person

Received a message on Whatsapp today (I know its not a hoax as the person sending it to be said that he is aware of this situation first hand) saying that a person from her fathers office has gone missing and his family is worried.

I had dealt with such a question before but the answer that time was that the person is dead, so it did not warrant any further investigation into timing of return etc.

Unasked, I decided to try and figure out what would happen in this case. I cast a chart with the seed 14 and rotated it to make the 9th cusp the ascendant (as I do not know this person). The following is the chart and the significators:

The combination for the person to return is 2 4 11 and the combination to be away from the house is 3 9 12.

The first thing I checked was the Ascendant cusp (9th now made Asc). Its cuspal sublord is Mercury. Mercury is strongly signifying the houses 10 and 11. Since the Asc is in a ubhaya rashi the 7th cusp will be the badhaka. In that sense the 1st CSL is also signifying the maraka and badhaka sthan. However, it is a weak signification and 10 11 will triumph over that. In addition to that, the prevailing DBA was of all benefics. So at least this much I could say that the person is alive.

Dasha lord Moon is signifying 2 4, there is also a signification of 8, but on its own it cannot cause much harm.

The Bhukti lord is Jupiter, Jupiter is showing 2 4 8 12, this is negative for return, so I can say that the boy will not come back in Jupiter Bhukti. Jupiter Bhukti ends on 20 July 2016. This delay also agrees with the Asc being in Ubhaya rashi which suggests delays.

The next Bhukti is of Saturn. Saturn signifies 2 4 11 quite strongly, so I can say that the boy will return during this time. The first Antara in this Bhukti is of Saturn itself. This Antara goes on till 20th October 2016.

So, based on Su, Me and Sa aspecting the 2nd house (transit conditions), this should happen somewhere around July/ Aug of 2016.

Will my son be successful in the examination to be held in January?

The chart and significators are as follows:

Since the question asked is from child's point of view I have rotated the chart to make the 5th cusp the ascendant.

The Nadi significators are as follows:

The relevant DBA during the exam is Ve-Ju-Ke

Admission to a good university is determined through competitive examinations. For success in competitive examinations the DBA planets should signify houses 6 11 or 4 9 11.

Venus is an extremely positive planet signifying 2 4 9 11 at star level and 2 3 10 at planet and sub level. Notably, 3 11 combination that can be seen here is suggestive of good success in post exam interview or GD/ debate etc.

Jupiter is not as strong as it has only 5 at planet level, 4 at star and 5 at planet level. There is 8 and 12 but 8 appears in planet and 12 appears in sub, with no negative house connecting them via presence in the star. Also it does not have a failure combination of 6 8 12. So Jupiter isnt negative. At best it is mildly positive. As worst it is neutral.

Ketu is also very positive with 2 4 5 9 combination at planet level, 5 in star level and the extremely strong 2 4 9 11 at the sub level.

Even the 6th sublord (6th house is prime cusp for competitions), Rahu, suggests 2 4 9 11 at the planet level with no negative significations, suggests good success.

Notably, even the 11th CSL is Venus, which is extremely positive as seen earlier.

The repeated '8' may be suggesting delays, and obstacles but I do not believe a solitarty '8' can derail the combination of 2 4 9 11.

The child will be successful in the competitive examination to be held in January. Let us wait and see!

Will a friend require surgery?

The chart and significators are as follows:

The ongoing DBA is of Rahu-Mars-Sun. Mars is the natural significator of surgery and as such it suggests that surgery will be needed.

Lets look at individual significations of the DBA lords using four step method.

Rahu is tenanted and not aspected by or conjunct (within 3:20 orb) with any planet, so it will give results of it starlord Sun. Sun is in in 3rd house. Rahu is in Saturn's sub, Saturn is in own star and thus signifies 3rd, 5th and 6th strongly. Saturn is in own star and thus signifies 3 5 6.

Mars is an untenanted planet and its chain of star-sub-sub's star is Mo-Ve*-Ra. Mars strongly signifies 1 and 8. Mo signifies 2 and 11. Ve signifies 2 and 9 and Rahu signifies 1 4 10 5 9.

Sun is a tenanted planet. It does not have its own strong significations. Sun is in Mercury's star and Mercury signifies 4 and 10. Sun is in own sub, so it doesnt signify anything at this level. Sub is in Mercury's star so 4 10 again.

Interestingly, while 4 step has some weak significations for surgery (Mars in DBA and it signifying 1 and 8), this at worst suggests a non serious surgery. Moreover, the presence of 5, 9, 11 suggests that recovery will happen. No 12 is signifies, which suggests that hospital stay will not be there, so it will probably be a day procedure if it happens. The 2 4 suggests that patient will be with family in her home, so this is another corroborative factor for the surgery being non serious.

Now for my education I decided to look at Nadi. The following are the Nadi significations:

Nadi signifies the different from what 4 step suggested. Rahu signifies 1 8 12, Mars signifies 1 8 and sun signifies 1 12.

Nadi thus suggests that a surgery will be needed, the presence of 12 suggests hospitalisation will happen and 1 8 12 means that this will become a chronic condition.

The only reason I can see this happening is because I am the person who took the number for somebody else. This question was not asked by that person.

I put this as an example of what happens when a non serious question is asked.

An shot in the dark at salary divination

I know someone whose wife has interviewed for a job abroad and is in midst of negotiation with the company. The company had come back with less than half of what the salary expected (and deserved) was and now she is trying to pull the salary up to atleast sustenance levels. She is now awaiting response from the other party on what salary they would finally offer her.

I was asked if astrologically the determination of salary is possible. One way was the RP options approach which yielded the answer of 24000.

The other approach was that I erected the chart at the time of the question (ie did not take a number). The chart was as below:

Now I havent read this technique anywhere and I am unsure if its correct. Even if the answer comes out to be correct I would still not make this a rule till I see atleast 10-15 cases which fit this method. And no fails.

The Ascendant falls at Taurus 5 deg 17 mins. This comes at point number 25 in the 1-249 KP table.

Since the lady in question was discussing her salary in 1000s with me ie. instead of saying twenty five thousand, she was saying 25...I took 25 to be the answer.

So My guess was that based on RPs and this other "shot in the dark method" she would be offered 24-25 thousand as salary.

Lets see.

Will Dr. Swamy get a favourable verdict from HC in the National Herald case?

The details of the case can be read from here:

http://www.dailypioneer.com/nation/delhi-hc-reserves-verdict-on-national-herald-case.html

I asked the Q in the title and with the seed 187 cast the following chart:

The ongoing DBA is Mo-Ma-Ve. The 3rd, 6th and 11th CSL is Ke.

Mo signifies 9 11 houses strongly. 9 is 7th from 3rd and 11th is desire fulfillment. So Moon is favourable for Dr. Swamy. Note cusp 4 (house of secrets) is signified with 9 11.

Mars is signifying 9 11 and 6 11 also the 4th cusp. 6 11 is outright victory. So Mars is also favourable for Dr. Swamy.

Venus is also signifying 9 11, so again the Antara lord is favourable for Dr. Swamy.

The repeated signification of the 4th house suggests that the Honble judge has already made his decision but is keeping it under wraps. So it suggests the fact that the judgement has been reserved.

The Ascendant cusp, and DB lords are all in ubhaya rashis so the judgement will be pronounced only after much delay.

So Nadi system clearly signifies that the case result will definitely come in favour of Dr. Swamy, albeit delayed.

Looking at KP, the 3rd CSL is Ketu. Ketu is is Saturn's star, Saturn is posited in the 11th cusp. As such the 3rd CSL signifies the 11th cusp strongly.

The 11th cusp is also Ketu. Ketu is in Jupiter's sign. Ketu is untenanted, so it will  signify Ju's significations strongly. Jupiter owns the 3rd cusp. Additonally as the untenanted sublord of the third cusp, Ketu again signifies it.

So all of KP rules are satisfied. 3rd CSL signifies 11th cusp and 11th CSL signifies 3rd cusp.

The ruling will come in Dr. Swamy's favour,

Will brutal Feroz be released?

Feroz is allegedly the name of the rapist who was one of the lead perpetrators of the infamous Nirbhaya case in Delhi. His level of brutalities was almost that which we see in Jihadis today and to treat this as a rape alone would be injustice to the brave victim who died horrifically at his hands. Unfortunately Feroz was tried as a juvenile and thus ineligible for full punishment. After spending what could well be a long tax funded vacation he is about to be released in a couple of weeks so that he can continue to impose his cruel view on the society around him.

I must confess that I am deeply disturbed that someone whom I can politely describe as a devout satanic person is about to be inflicted on us soon. It is almost as if society has rewarded him for being cruel ie. that he was so cruel even when he was so young is being used as his defence for a virtual slap on the wrist.

In this mindset, I do not know if the stars will give me a clear answer, but I asked the question will Feroz be released or will his custody be extended? The seed I gave was 8.

The following chart and Nadi significators were cast:

Now the Nadi combination for going to jail is 2 3 8 12. 2 for worry to family, 3 as its 12th from 4th (house), 8 for insult and 12 for confinement. Combinations for release would be 6 11/ 10 11/ 6 10/ 10/ 11 (bail) or 2 4 11 (returning home).

The ongoing DBA is Ve-Ju-Ju. Venus is slightly positive as it has 2. But it also has a 6 8 combination. Jupiter is outright negative with a 8 12 combination with no positive significations.

So Nadi suggests that the government will continue his confinement.

Now I decided to look at Krishnamurti Paddhati principals. KP rules of going to jail are:

1) 12th CSL must be Rahu

2) Rahu must signify either 2 or 3 or 8 or 12th cusp

3) Rahu must not be posited in the star of a retrograde planet.

ALL THREE RULES MUST BE SATISFIED.

We can see in the above chart, 12th CSL is Rahu. Rahu is posited in Sun's star. Sun can never be retrograde. Sun is posited in 8th house. Thus Rahu signifies 8th house strongly.

All three rules as per KP are being met.

NIRBHAYAS KILLER WILL NOT BE RELEASED AS SCHEDULED.

Shocker of a new but its false!

Close on the heels of my previous blog post where I concluded that the Indian government would not give permission to and India-Pak cricket match, I see this news on twitter:

It basically says that the Indian government has given permission for the match(s) and they will start around 15 Dec. I was super shocked as my last study was very clear that the Indian govt would NOT give permission for this.

So I asked a question, "Is this news true?" and cast a chart with seed 226 as below:

The 3rd CSL is Saturn and also in Saturn's star.

THERE IS NO WAY THAT THIS NEWS IS TRUE. IT IS A LIE.

Will the Indian Government permit the BCCI to have an India-Pak cricket match?

With Pakistan continuously attacking Indians at the border, there is a public mood in India that no ties should exist between the two countries. Meanwhile, in lala land, the BCCI (the cricket business owners), apparently intend to have a cricket match between India and Pakistan. Truly, money knows no borders, and neither does greed. So I asked a question that makes up the post title and gave the seed of 19, to cast the following chart:

The cusps for all permits, licenses, NOCs is the 3rd cusp. If the 3rd cusp's sublord signifies the 11th cusp AND the 11th cusp's sublord signifies the 3rd house, then and only then will the event happen and happen in a favorable way. I will be examining significations using Hasbe jis 4 step method.

The 3rd cusp sublord is Mars. Mars is in Moon's star and Jupiter's sub. Jupiter is in Venus's star. Moon and Jupiter are in own star and untenanted, respectively.

Mars is tenanted and hence has only weak significations of its own.

Moon is in 1 and owns 4th cusp. Both significations are strong as the 4th is empty.

Jupiter is in 5th cusp and owns 9th and 12th cusp. 9th and 12th are empty so all significations are strongly signified.

Venus is in 6th and owns 2 and 7. Strongly signifies 6 and 2.

So the 3rd CSL signifies 1 2 4 5 6 9 12, not the 11th house.

Even if we look at Nadi significations below:

The ongoing DBA is Mo-Ra-Sa. the 3rd CSL is Mars and 11th CSL is Venus. 3rd CSL is non committal on issue of permission. 11th CSL is clearly denying the permission by signifying 3 6 8.

Even DBA lords are denying the permission.

Thus overall we can say that (thankfully) it is likely that the Government of India WILL NOT grant permission to the BCCI for the India-Pak match.

Will Amit Shah get another term as BJP chief?

The BJP's showing in Bihar has sparked off a million questions it seems from both supporters and detractors. More particularly, being the only person who got it absolutely right in July 2015 to my knowledge (with Bhairavi's grace), quite a few of these questions are directed to me.

A cousin walked into my home today and over a cup of tea the conversation veered towards politics. Both of us find cricket boring, so as Indians, politics is the only subject left to us. :)

There are calls for the ouster of the current BJP chief, Shri Amit Shah from this post in wake of the absolute debacles that were Delhi and Bihar. There are rumours of various people presenting their credentials for the top job and as usual lots of things going on in the background, as they are wont to do in Delhi.

Anyway, it doesn't matter who does what and when and how. What matters are the stars and whether they allow the event to happen or not. Well aware of my interest in stellar astrology, my cousin suddenly asked me..."Will Amit Shah get a second term?". I asked for a random number between 1 and 249, to which he replied "91".

Quickly polishing off my tea and biscuits, I got down to casting the following chart and significators:

Now the BJP part poll is expected in Jan 2016. To be fair, more than a poll these are exercises in getting a no objection certificate from the leaders of the party. As in I feel, Amit Shah knows he is unacceptable to the Party, he will not contest the polls at all. So the elections itself become a formality of getting the No Objection certificate. Do correct me if I am wrong.

So more than the 6th cusp of competition , the 3rd cusp of permission comes into play. But being the strickler for detail that I am, I will look at both. Also, the 11th cusp of wish fulfillment becomes important.

Lets look at KP first. 3rd cusp sublord is Rahu. Rahu is in Sun's star and Mercury's sub. It is also posited in Mercury's sign. Mercury is an untenanted planet. So it is a strong significator of the 11th cusp.

The 11th cusp sublord is Jupiter, Jupiter is in Venus' star and Mercury's Sub. Mercury is untenanted and is the occupant of the 3rd house. Thus, Jupiter becomes a strong significator of the 3rd house.

Thus Amit Shah will be 're-elected' as the BJP chief again.


Even looking at the 6th house cusp, we see that the 6th CSL is Venus. Venus is in Moon Star and Mercury Sub. Venus is posited in the 2nd house and owns the 10th house. Mercury as the untenanted Sub, is a strong significator of the 11th house. As such we can see that even viewed as a competition, Amit Shah should come through as a victor.

Now lets look at Nadi:

My cousin who has asked this question, is in favour of Amit Shah being re appointed as the BJP chief. So the positive combinations (ie AS reappointment) will be 2 6 10 11 and negative will be 6 8 12.

The 3rd CSL is Rahu
The 6th CSL is Venus
The 11th CSL is  Jupiter

Rahu has 2 3 11 in Planet and Sub level and no negative combinations.

Venus has 2 10 in Planet and 2 3 11 in Sub. A lone 12 cannot hinder very much.

Jupiter has a negative 5 8 at the planet level. Which suggests the back biting etc going on in this period by the enemy. But the 2 10 and 2 11 in the Star and Sub levels will manage to beat this 5 8.

So there is no opposition from the prime cuspal sublords to Amit Shah's re-elevation.

The DBA applicable during the polls is Ra-Ve-Me.

As seen earlier, Rahu and Venus and net positives. Mercury has 2 11 at Planet and a 6 at Star and Sub levels, with no negative combinations.

Overall, I can say that Amit Shah will be re-elevated to the post of BJP Chief in January 2016.

Even overall, the Ascendant is in Leo, the regal or leadership sign. It is a fixed and fire-y sign which suggests that current situation will continue (ie Amitbhai as leader). It is aspected by Moon as well, which is another benefic planet that suggests a leadership role. Notably, Moon is a female planet suggesting that he may get some key support from the lady leaders of the Party.

The only negative thing that I can see is that Saturn's 10th aspect on the Ascendant. Saturn is the planet of delays and giving someone something slightly less than is deserved. So Amitji may have to be satisfied with some small pin prick somewhere. It be also be that the polls may be delayed a bit, or the result be declared later than usual or expected.

Saturn is also the sublord of the Ascendant cusp, but thankfully it does not signify any majorly bad houses.

Net-net, Amit Shah ji...we will look forward to seeing you getting a next term!



* This is an amateur astrologers view. No guarantees expressed or implied. No liability admitted!

Was Rahul Gandhi at any point in time, or is he currently, a British Citizen?

This has been a new controversy that has started on RG regarding his citizenship. While I do not support him, his party or his thought process, I decided to figure out the truth by using astrology. I asked the above question and used the seed 15 to cast the following chart and significators:

Using the same rules as in this blog, I see that 3rd house sub is Saturn indicating that the rumour that Rahul Gandhi is a British citizen is false. Also, even looking at Nadi sigs, we can see that the ongoing DBA is Ma-Ke-Me were 3 6 8 12 is clearly signified.


* this is an amateur astrological perspective. No guarantees expressed or implied. No liability accepted.

When will I change jobs?

To be fair this was not a question asked of me, this is a suo motu exercise. Also, this is not such an unusual question that warrants a blog. However if you have read my research blog on job change versus role change, this will allow me to add one more example to monitor.

First lets put the chart and significators:

While the full job change combination appears in only three planets (Ve, Mo, Ra), every other planet contains atleast one half of this combination thus supporting change. However the change in this man's career has not been in companies but in roles, from starting off in the IT department of a company, he went on to head several departments finally ending up as the research head in one of that company's biggest markets.

Now lets look at owners/ occupants of the 6th and 10th cusps and their starlords:

Ma (owns 6th and 10th)   ---> Moon star
Ke (occ of 10th)               ---> Ketu's star

Since Ketu is occupant of 10th house and owns no sign (based on examples so far I havent taken the nodes sign lords), it cannot give employer change as in its capacity of a star lord.

So lets look at Moon. Moon is an occupant of the 9th house, so it is positive for job change as a star lord. Therefore MARS, if it appears in DBA will cause job change.

But based on my theory, we should look at other planets too. So lets do it the quicker way and look at owners and occupants of the 5th and 9th house.

Ve is owner of 5th house.
Saturn is owner of 9th house.
No occupants of 5th house. Moon occupant of 9th house.

So all those planets, where Ve, Sa or Mo appear as starlords will cause employer change. Those planets are:

Su, Ma, Me, Ve.

For job change atleast one of the planets in the DBA has to be a separative planet (ie. Su, Ra, Ku, Sa)

The native is currently running the DBA of Mo-Me-Sa. Sa antara runs till 3rd Feb 2016.

So the native will change jobs till that date PROVIDED the transits support.

Planets having 5 9  or 5 or 9 are as follows: ALL!

It  so happens that Sa Me Su are already conjoined in the 5th house as I check this, and so are Ra, Ma and Ve in the 3rd house. This condition continues till 1st Dec.

After this Me moves out of the 5th house, but Su and Sa will remain in the 5th house and Ketu in the 9th house, thus continuing to satisfy the transit conditions, till 8th Dec 2015.

Again on 25th Dec, Ve and Sa are in the 5th house and Ke in the 9th house till 11th Jan.

I will not continue to detail the transit conditions, but the point is that Saturn Antara is overall very conducive to change of job and the transit conditions are being met several times. So overall the job change can happen by the 1st Week of Feb 2016. Notably, Saturn is a separative planet, as is required by Nadi rules to effect the job change.

Vibheeshna!

The entire post below is hypothetical:

There was once a very large kingdom. For a long time it was ruled by a dynasty. While the progenitors of this dynasty may have been illustrious, it deteriorated as dynasties are wont to many times.

The latest generation of the dynasty had people of all sorts. Even those who could not have been part of this lineage. The kingdom deteriorated under them. They were corrupt and encouraged corruption. Slowly the kingdom that was once touted as a BRIC of the global economy became an international joke.

Then from nowhere a young challenger arose. From a humble background, he was ridiculed, punished, harassed by the dynasty and its corrupt minions. Town criers went out everyday to 'inform' people of the misdeeds of this young challenger, where there were one. Lies and slander became the order of the day to stop him.

He however managed to win the faith of the people and slowly the people promoted him to take the dynasty's place. People were desperate for revenge of the cheating of the many generations. He had promised them a just retribution.

However, nothing happened. Everytime a noose seemed to close in on the erstwhile ruler's  neck, this young challenger or one of his tribe seemed to pull it back.

Suspicion fell on the new rulers right hand man...a minister who was known far and wide for his wise consul and experience. He was a suave man with sliver tongue. Knowledgeable in all the laws and all the loopholes. Was he the one who was protecting erstwhile royal family from justice? A fierce verbal duel broke out between those who blindly believed this man to be honest and those who did not.

It was not a small matter. An incredibly powerful minister he was, would surely reward the poor peasants with many gold guineas and plum posts in return for unquestioning and blind loyalty.

A group of people were undecided on whose side to take in this battle of the wits. They came to the town astrologer. And asked the astrologer, "Oh wise one, we have come to ask you about someone who believes he is wiser than you. There is a rumour that this super wise person, while running with the hares is hunting with the hounds"

"Oh for gods sakes, get to it!", the astrologer remarked.

"Ok, the rumour is that the erstwhile dynasty is being protected by this sun ray like wise minister, so no law or justice can touch them. We dont know what to believe! Is this rumour true?"

The astrologer asked himself this question and came out with a seed number 183 and cast the following chart:

The wise astrologer looked to his many gurus for guidance and suddenly page number 442 of the Phaladesh Khand of Shahasane came to mind.

It said:
a) If the 3rd cusp's sublord is retrograde or posited in the star of a retrograde planet then the rumour/ news is false.

b) If the 3rd cusp's sublord is Mars, then the rumour is false and maliciously false.

c) If the 3rd cusp's sublord if Saturn, then the rumour is false or incomplete

d) If the 3rd cusp's sublord is Jupiter, Moon, Sun, Venus then the rumour is TRUE.

(if its Rahu/ Ketu  then look at the signlord where these 2 are posited).

The astrologer looked at the 3rd cusp sublord. It isnt retrograde nor is it posited in the star or a retrograde planet. And, the 3rd cuspal sublord is Jupiter.

Rest, everyone is intelligent.

Immediate fate of the GST Bill

After the recent defeat of BJP in the Bihar, there is a justified fear among nationalists that the pace of reforms envisaged by the Honble Prime Minister will slow down. One of the key elements of this reform is the passage of a unifying tax law, the GST, in the upcoming winter session. Interestingly, this Bihar result was the most unexpected and I was one of the handful who got this prediction correct, that too way back in July 2015.

While BJP has an outright majority in the Lok Sabha, it does not in the Rajya Sabha and thus passing of laws is being blocked by the opposition. Quite petty of them, some might say. An example of this blocking was the fate of the Land Reforms Bill. Interestingly, this was also predicted by me much before the actual shelving of the Bill happened. Whilst I don't claim to be infallible (no one is), I hope the respected PM will pay more attention to what is being said here. After all, political capital is just like any other capital, one cannot be too careful  in choosing where it is to be invested in.

Worried by these concerns, a good friend of mine asked me the following question: Will GST Bill be passed in both houses of Indian parliament in the upcoming winter session? I asked him to give me a number between 1 and 249, to which he promptly replied "91 is my number".

FYI: The winter session is scheduled for Nov 26 to Dec 23 2015.

I proceeded to cast the following chart and significators:

                                                    KP Significators - Hasbe style

Now how to treat the passage of the Bill in the Parliament? As a permission or as a competition was the question that stood before me. The reason this question is important is because if it is to be treated as a permission, in the like of getting a N.O.C. or a Visa, then we have to look at cusps 3 and 11. If it is a competition then the 6th cusp of victory over opponents gets importance.

I decided to look at both. Regarding the 3rd cusp, the K.P. rules are clear:

If the sublord of the 3rd cusp is the significator of the 11th cusp (gains/ desire fulfillment) then the event will happen. However only if the sublord of the 11th cusp is the significator of the 3rd house will the event happen as desired. 

To give an example, getting a letter from a company you have interviewed with will be determined by the 3rd CSL, but is the letter an appointment letter or rejection letter is determined by the 11th cusp. I checked with my friend if he wanted the GST Bill to be passed, he replied "Yes".

The 3rd CSL is Saturn, Saturn is a strong significator (see Hasbe significators above) of the 3 7 10 cusps and a weak significator of the 11th cusp. I do not consider weak significations.

The 11th CSL is Venus. Venus strongly signifies  1 4 5 8 7, so it does not strongly or weakly signify the 3rd cusp at all.

I can say that if the Bill passage was considered as a "documentary permission", then the GST bill will not pass in the upcoming winter session.

But, lets see if the Bill will pass if it is considered as a competition. 

Again, KP rules are clear: If the 6th CSL signifies the 6/10/11 cusps without signifying the 4/5/12 cusps then the native is victorious (i.e. the GST bill is passed in this case). If however, both sets of cusps are signified then the 12th cuspal sublord's significations will need to be checked as the 12th CSL is the 6th cusp to the opponents cusp (7th). 

Now in this case the 6th and 12th cuspal sublords is the same planet, i.e. Venus. So we will look at the relative strength of Venus' significations. What cusps does the planet Venus strongly signify...cusps good for the bill passing (6 10 11) or cusps opposed to bill passing (4 5 12).

As is evident from the significators table I made using Hasbe jis method, Venus is a strong significator of 1 4 5 8 7, this is quite bad for the native...ie unfavourable to the bill passing. 7th cusp is prime cusp of opponent, 4th cusp is the 10th cusp for opponent, 5th is the 11th cusp for the opponent and 8th is not only the "dhana sthan" of the opponent, it is also the house of delays, insults, disappointments and death etc for the native (the GST bill in this question).

This even considering the bill passage as a competition, the GST bill is unlikely to pass. 

I just cast a cursory glance over the Ascendant's sublord (Sun). Sub signifies 4 5 8 9 12 houses. In addition to the description of  4 5 8 houses earlier, the 9th house is the 'maaraka' house of the 10th house of reputation and the 12th house is house of loss to the native.

The only glimmer of hope is the weak signification of 11th (house of gains, best house in any horoscope) by the 3rd CSL. At best it will succeed in making the govt 'feel' that the bill might go through, but that will be a lie.

So overall, the GST bill is unlikely to pass both houses of the Indian Parliament in the period November 26, 2015 to December 23, 2015 (winter session).

Disappointed, I decided to check if the Nadi system supports or refutes the results of the Krishnamurti Paddhati study.

The Nadi significators are as follows:

Favorably result combinations are 2 6 10 11. 6 10 11, 6 11, 6 10, 10 11, 11. 10

Unfavorable are: 6 8 12, 6 12, 6 8, 8 12, 5 8, 5 8 12, 5 12, 8, 12

During the time of the parliament session, the DBA will be of Mercury - Ketu - Venus

3rd CSL is Saturn, 6th CSL and 11th CSL is Venus

Dasha lord Mercury is signifying 6 12 and 5 12, no positive combination.

Bhukti lord Ketu is interesting..it signifies both 6 8 12 and 10 11, Net-net Ketu is positive for bill passing as 10 11 is at Star level and denial 6 8 12 is at planet level. Star > Planet.

Antara lord is Venus, again 6 8 and 5 8 combinations, so again denial. Out of DBA only B is positive, D and A deny.

3rd CSL Saturn is very positve as it signifies 10 11 at both planet and star level. A solitary 8 at the sub level cannot do much harm.

6th/11th CSL is however negative. (Venus, seen above).

So Nadi is also very clear that the GST Bill will not pass both houses of the Indian parliament in the upcoming winter session.

Before signing off, I want to draw the readers attention to the faint glimmer of hope that came to us in the form of the 3rd CSL (in both Nadi and KP). So BJP might be under a feeling that since they have a majority in the Lok Sabha they can pass it here (as it is more akin to a No Objection certificate than a competition here). However, there is no support from the 11th house, meaning that the expected fruit will no be received from the passage of the Bill. Either it will be passed in parts, or it will need to be diluted or the opposition may not allow discussion and voting or otherwise  disrupt the proceedings. So finally there might be disappointment.

In any case, even if Bill gets through one house, the stars do not support its passage in both houses as per my interpretation of this Prashna chart. So does it make sense for BJP to introduce this Bill in this session at all? This is a question for the Hon'ble Prime Minister. 

As Sun Tzu said in the Art of War,“So in war, the way is to avoid what is strong, and strike at what is weak.”








Read with a pinch of salt. This is my interpretation of the chart. No liability accepted or admitted.

Applying research 2

This is another example on the same: Change of Job or Change of role question. This is the horscope and Nadi sigs of an old friend whose contract with a company is about to come to an end in December 2015 (exact date I don't know), when he will be running DBA of Ma-Ra-Ju:

Now this is a tough horoscope for a employee, see the number of 5 8 12s and 6 8 12s. But this has not caused him to lose his job and he too has been with the same company for about ten years though projects within the company have changed.

Now this example differs from the previous ones due  to the fact that the past horoscope had 5 9 combinations only, other than that the horoscope was quite good for career. But this one was 5 8 12 and 6 8 12s, some of the worst combinations possible from a career point of view.

So this is a test to check is my modified rule will hold. Will 5 8 12 translate to loss of job or will it translate to change in project, maybe to a one that pays less or in a disagreeable position or location, but no 'loss of job'.


Lets look at occupants and owners of 6 and 10 and their starlords. And we will also look at the relevant DBA lords:

Ve -> Su
Me -> Me
--
Ma -> Ve
Ra -> Ke
Ju -> Ve

Owners of 5th and 9th are Mars and Sun. Occupants of 5th are none and of 9th are Saturn.

Therefore ONLY Venus (since its starlord is Sun) if in DBA can cause change or loss of job (and that too if the transits support), that is the theory.

Since the contract is ending in the DBA of Ma-Ra-Ju there is unlikely to be a job loss for the person and will mostly only face a transfer. In fact Bhukti lord Rahu is natural karaka for foreign travel (he is already abroad so this may mean another country) and it signifies 3 9 12 (travel abroad) and 3 5 (change in residence). The 5 8 12 and 6 8 12 may mean tough work, office politics and a bad boss, NOT A JOB LOSS IN DECEMBER.

The period the native needs to be careful is during the Venus Antara which is from 4th June to 5th Aug 2016, especially since Saturn is retrograde then and the native is running Sade Sati. 

Applying research

Let me try to apply the research from the previous post to a real life case. Someone who has been in service with the same company for decades is facing possible retrenchment on Jan 1, 2016 and asked me for my astrological opinion.

Basically there is a slight chance that the person may be transferred but if there is no requirement elsewhere then the company will retrench. So I had to check if the transfer will come through or there will be loss of job.

Here is the chart and Kp and Nadi significators below:

Note that five planets have a straight 5 9 combination and the balance 4 planets have either a 5 or a 9 combination. Yet, this person stuck to a single employer for decades, not just years! How?

Lets look at the 6th and 10th houses, their occupants, lords and -> their star lords

Su -> Ra

Ju -> Sa

Neither Rahu nor Saturn own or occupy the 5th or the 9th house. Hence the 5 9s will translate into change or projects or roles instead of change of employers. This I confirmed with the native who did admit to many, many changes of roles.

Now to answer the persons question, will he be fired on 1 Jan 2016 or will he be transferred. We need to look at the DBA prevailing on that date, it is: Mo-Su-Ve. Now lets look at their starlords:

Mo - > Me

Su -> Ra

Ve -> Me

Neither Me not Ra occupy or own the 5th or the 9th house. Additionally, Moon's dasha ends on 6th Jan 2016 after which Mars Dasha starts. Mars is even more positive for career than Moon. So the chances of this person being unemployed are very low. Even if he loses his job, he might find another one in the very next month, ie. February.

If however, my modification of KP's rule and my integration of KP with Nadi is correct, then the gentleman will not lose his job at all. In fact the prevalence of 5 9, 3 5, 3 9, 9 12 suggest that there is a change of residence that is likely to happen (3 5), a change of project (5 9) and transfer to another country (3 9 12). The presence of a separative planet (Sun) in the DBA suggests that the transfer will likely be to a far away place.

Lets see what happens. 

Research: Job change or Role change?

This is a question that comes up several times in my study of astrology. Let me first address it in terms of Nadi astrology.

As per Nadi astrology, the combination of job change is 5 9. 5 is 12th from 6th (prime house of service) and 12th from 10th (prime house of status). So a person changes his job when separative planets (Sun, Rahu, Ketu, Saturn) appear in DBA and DBA planets have combination of 5 9. Nadi also says that someone with a lot of 5 9s will always be in the mood to shift jobs.

Now look at these significators below from someone I know:

Apart from Sun, Mars and Jupiter, every planet signifies 5 9. Surely such a person must be a corporate job hopper isnt it? But the reality is no, she isnt. In fact in her career of 8 years she has changed just one company. She used to work in Company X which she left on 11th August 2008 and joined her current company Y, where she is till present.

This goes squarely against what a Nadi astrologer would expect. But on closer enquiry, I realised that within the same company, in the last 7 years this lady has shifted 6 roles. So roughly a change each year. So clearly 5 9s have worked but not to change her employer, but only her role within the company. How to distinguish between this change in job vs. change in role now is the question.

Krishnamurti Paddhati says (as per Shahasane), a native leaves a job if the Dasha or Bhukti lord is a planet that is either posited in the 6th cusp or the 10th cusp or owns the 6th cusp or the 10th cusp AND is in the star of a planet that is either posited in the 5th cusp or the 9th cusp or owns the 5th cusp or the 9th cusp.

Now this is the chart of the lady above:

The planets in and owning 6th/10th house and their starlords are given below:

Ma -> Ma

Ve, Sa, Me, Su, Mo -> Sa

So Mars and Saturn are the key planets we need to see. Neither planet is owns 5th house or 9th house or is an occupant of 5th house or 9th house. 

Thus despite the high number of 5 9 Nadi combinations, the native has not changed jobs but roles. 5 9s have operated in a different way.

But by this logic, the native should not have changed ANY job. So how did the change happen in Aug 2008. Let us see the DBA in operation then, it was Me-Ra-Mo.

Starlords of the above DBA planets are Saturn, Venus, Saturn.

As seen earlier, Saturn is neither owner of, not occupant of 5th or 9th cusp. But Venus, owns both 5th and 9th cusps and thus, Rahu becomes a planet that can cause a change in job. But Rahu has no connection with the 6th or the 10th house. Then what happened? Hence I add my own modification of this rule, that NOT JUST THE PLANETS IN THE 10th OR 6th OR LORDS THEREOF ARE TO BE CONSIDERED, BUT THE DBA PLANETS TOO MUST BE CHECKED FOR A CONNECT TO 5 and/or 9, AS STATED IN KP. 

In addition that transits must be checked for the event to actually happen. Afterall the lady did not shift jobs in every Antara or bhutki of Rahu.

The transit chart as of the date of her leaving job was as follows:

As can be seen, Nadi transit conditions are being clearly satisfied. Three planets (Me, Ve, Sa) which signify 5 9 are conjunct in a house AND the Antara lord (Mo) is the star owned by Rahu which is another 5 9 signifying planet.  

A way to test this would be to check when Rahu will figure in next in the native's DBA. Currently she is running the DBA of Ke-Mo-Mo. Ke-Mo-Ra will begin on 6th November 2015 and last till 8th December 2015.

Interestingly on 6th November itself, Mo Ve, Ra, ie 3 planets with the 5 9 combination are transiting the 5th house in the transit chart. On 8th November Venus and Rahu are conjunct within a degree in Virgo and also the Transit Mercury is conjunct with Natal Ketu both planets allowing event to happen). 

So overall based on the new rule the native should shift jobs in the Rahu Antara this time between 6th November and 8 December 2015.

So we surmise the following:

1) Nadi 5 9s only suggest a change in role and not necessarily a change in job

2) A change in job will occur only when KP rule is satisfied. While KP rule is restricted to occupants and owners of the 6th /10th house, my modification is that we need to also run the test for DBA planets as well.

3) Final fructification of event will depend on transit rules getting satisfied.

When will I get my money back!?

A friend called me yesterday about a sum of money that was lent to another friend of hers. Now the other person is unable  to return it for some reason and my friend is understandably worried. She asked me by when will the money be returned to her and gave me the seed of 88. I cast the following chart:

Generally all questions regarding income of money are to be seen from the 6th house. Why? because 6th is the 12th from the 7th. Unless the person opposite (7th) faces loss (12th) how will you get money?

The sublord of the 6th house is Mercury. That immediately told me two things: 1. The sum of money is not huge and 2. the money would come in 2 or more installments, not altogether.

But will the money come at all?! Mercury is in the star of Moon. Moon is placed in the 7th house and owns 12th. This means mean Moon suggests the opponent and the opponents gain (12th is 6th for the 7th).

Mercury itself is placed in the 2nd house (of wealth) and owns 11th (gain for the native).

So I surmised that the native will get her money back but it will come in installments and not all together.Also it is possible that the entire sum will not be received as the 6th CSL Mercury is also strongly suggesting a gain for the opposite party.

When?

Krishnamurti says that for events expected to occur in a month, we need to look at the Moon's transit. The ongoing Dasha is of Rahu, Rahu is placed in Virgo, so we will need to consider Mercury instead. The ongoing Bhukti is of Jupiter. So we need to look when the Moon is going to transit a Mercury sign-Jupiter Nakshatra combination. Such a combination occurs in Gemini. Moon is transiting this on November 1, 2016. So atleast one of the installments will come on that day.

Interestingly, the girl was already slated to meet her friend on a completely unrelated matter on the 1st, this I didn't know. So lets see if she gets some of her money back then!

My new astrology website!

Hello folks,

In an earlier post, I had mentioned that I could consider setting up an consultancy portal if I got an encouraging response. While the response was good, my other interests kept me from setting up the operations.

I am now pleased to announce the launch of www.bhairaviuvacha.com where you can contact me to get my take on your birth or prashna chart.

The website name is made up of two words, "Bhairavi" and "Uvacha". Hindu philosophy sees God as One but capable of assuming and being approached in many forms. Bhairavi is the Devi or the divine feminine. It is one my chosen forms of approaching divinity and I offer all my predictions at Her feet. The Sanskrit word "Uvacha" roughly translates to "Says" or "Said". 

So please do visit to ask me your questions on your chart or simply to take a look around the website. Suggestions welcome. All suggestions, questions etc should be directed to the contact information given on that website itself and not here.

I appreciate everyone for visiting this site and encouraging me to continue on my astrological journey that has today lead to my new website. I continue to read and learn and hope that your questions and charts take me deeper into this occult art of astrology.

While this portal will continue for my hobby predictions and interesting cases, any consultations etc will happen through BhairaviUvacha.

Thank you.

How will dynasty's day in court be?

Today the so-called matriarch and the prince of the dynasty that erstwhile ruled India are to begin trial in an Indian court for a large scale scam known as the National Herald scam. All legal tricks are in play to delay the court date and even get a different judge. I was curious to see how the day in court would go for the dynasty. Of course one cannot expect a judgement today or even in the next year given the pace of justice in India (in public perception atleast), but one can check how the day will go for the defendants, positively or negatively. 

I cast the following chart:

The primary house of litigation is the 6th house. The 6th CSL is Saturn. Saturn is placed in its own star.

As per Nadi rules, litigation will happen only when RA/KE/SA are in DBA. The ongoing DBA is Ju-Sa-Ke, so this condition is satisfied.

Jupiter signifies 8 12, Saturn 6 12 and Ketu 6 8 12 the complete combination of litigation. As such this day will not be a clear win for the dynasty. However, it wont be a clear loss either, as there are stray 11's in each of the DBA planets. So I think the day in court will be quite negative for dynasty but they will get some key relief, it could come in the form of another delay in the court date or an exemption from personal appearance or both. 

But on balance it will not be a victorious day for the dynasty.

If we look at it from KP, the 6th CSL is Saturn. Saturn is placed in its own star so as per Shahsane, we will take the sublord as the star lord, so the pair becomes Sa-Ve. Ve is placed in 12th house and owns 3 and 10. Saturn is placed in 3rd house and owns 6 and 7. So Saturn is a strong significator of the 12th house but also of the 6th and 10th house. So again  a sort of balanced day but tending towards the negative for the dynasty as Sa is a stronger significator of the 12th (Vyay Sthan) than the 6th (victory over opponent sthan)

Lets see what happens in a few hours.

Marriage prediction

A friend living abroad and keen to get married wanted to know when the marriage would be fixed. I decided to work out the date as below:

The chart is below:

The above are the KP significators taken using Shri Hasbe's method outlined in his book Vedh Nakshatracha on page 57.

The first two lines in each planet signify which of which houses the planets will give results (planets will give results of only the strongly significated houses. The next two lines show how the results would be favourable or non favourable.

The current Dasha is of Venus. Venus will primarily deliver the results of the 11th house (2 7 11 are favourable houses for marriage, 1 6 10 oppose). 11th house is gain. Gain of what? We need to look at strong houses of the next two lines.They are 1 2 5 and 7. While 1 opposes marriage both 2 and 7 are favourable and 5th is also a corroborative house indicating love and children. So Venus is very positive for marriage.

On the other hand look at Rahu. Rahu will not offer any results related to marriage as it is a strong karara for the 12th house, which at the margin is negative for marriage.

In the same way I derived that the following planets are positive for marriage: Mo Ma Ju Ve Sa Ke

Now to look at transits. I am going to do a bit of an experiment. I will use Nadi transits in conjunction with KP significations. Lets see how this works out!

The native is currently in DBA of Ve-Mo-Ve till 10th Dec 2015. As we saw earlier this is a favourable period.

Interestingly, a  good period for marriage for the native has already begun on Aug 17, 2015 as per Nadi transits:

As of 17th Aug, Saturn, Mars and Venus aspects the 2nd house.

On 2nd Sept transiting Venus and Mars come within 1 degree of each other in the cancer sign. This is a key date for her.

As of 13th Sept, Venus and Mars were aspecting the 2nd house, Ketu was aspecting the 11th house and Saturn as aspecting the 2nd house. Venus and Mars are posited in the 7th house.

On 28th Sept, Venus, Mars and Jupiter transit the 7th house in the transit chart. On Oct 1, the three planets, Venus, Mars and Jupiter are conjoined in the same house (Leo) while in the 7th sign.

On 9th/ 10th Oct, the transiting moon conjoins with these three planets.

On 16-22 October, Mars and Jupiter are less than 1 degree apart or thereabouts.

Overall, from today's date (6th Oct 2015) to November 2, 2015, is a very good time for her marriage to be fixed. I await the invite!

Lost my job, when will I get the next one?!

Someone I know was recently a victim of office politics and lost his job. He was understandably curious on what the future held for him and with a housing loan to pay off it was necessary to get a job asap.

I decided to examine his birth horoscope:

The native is currently in the DBA of Sa-Ve-Ra till 24/11/2015. After that, the antara of Ju will start and go on till 26/4/2016. After that is Saturn which will go on till 26-10-2016.

I looked at the KP significators

Houses pro-employment are 2 6 10 11 and houses opposed are 1 5 9 

Houses 8 12 show that expected happiness will not come through any event, even this ie job.

The ongoing Dasha is of Saturn. Saturn is a strong significator of the 11th and 2nd house through occupation and ownership of its starlord. Saturn is posited in the star and Sub of Venus. Venus also signifies 2 6 and 10 houses. However Venus is a stronger significator of the 12th house. So while job is not denied, there will be some problems in the job and the native should gear up to face these issues.

The ongoing Bhukti is of Venus. As seen earlier Venus signifies both positive and negative houses. Venus is in Ketu's star and Rahu's sub. Both Rahu and Ketu signify at least one of the required houses of  2 6 10 11 so again the Bhukti will not deny the job.

The ongoing antara is of Rahu, Rahu signifies 2 6 11. Rahu is in Jupiters star and Venus' sub. Both planets signify the relevant house grouping.

So Sa-Ve-Ra is a good time for the native to get a job. For pinpointing the date we need to look at the transit. Basically a transit when a planet passes through the Sign-Star combination of Saturn-Venus. However such a combination does not exist. Neither does the combination of Venus-Saturn. 

So I looked at the ruling planets at the time of judgement which is 10:40AM, Pune, on 3rd Oct 2015: Mars, Mars, Venus, Saturn.

Majority of the planets are fast moving ones, so I am guessing that the job situation should be sorted out soon. 

Now among these ruling planets I have to choose a sign which has the star of the Dasha lord (Saturn) in it. Mars has Saturn owned star in the Scorpio sign. 

Since Jupiter (the next antara) is not positive for the job, I have to look for transits in this antara itself (ie. Rahu). From 19th November to 24th November, Mercury transits the Mars-Saturn combination and the native should get a job during this period.

Combining the results with a horary study I did, (details not given here for paucity of time), I gave the following period for getting the job back: 19th November to 16th December 2015.
