The art of Jyotish: secrets unlocked

Preface

Many wonder why those who commit evil deeds often don’t face consequences, while good people may suffer unjustly. But the laws of karma are not that simple. No good or bad deed goes without consequences.

Types of Karma

There are four types of karma: Sanchita Karma, Prarabdha Karma, Kriyamana Karma, and Agami Karma (Vartamana Karma).

This is the reservoir of all karma a person has (including all incarnations). It clears if the person engages in personal development, and as long as there is something to correct, they will be born again and again. If the person does not grow spiritually, the debts, sins, deeds, idleness, wrong thoughts, and everything they didn’t understand accumulate in the Sanchita Karma.

This is the karma to be corrected in this life (only in this life, which essentially constitutes the results of the soul’s many incarnations). Prarabdha Karma is usually very harsh. It cannot be avoided. The Vedic horoscope is the reflection of Prarabdha Karma. This karma predetermines certain events in life and longevity.

This is karma that operates quickly, these are the results of actions in the current life. But sometimes it happens that a person did something now and will only pay for it in the next life (Agami Karma).

This is karma that can be changed after understanding an action, any act or non-action.

Jyotish is divided into three main parts: Ganita, Samhita, and Hora.

Ganita – Astrological observation (astronomy). Earlier, when there were no computers, texts were used to describe the movement of the planets for the next 5 years. Nowadays, computers calculate everything. Ganita is divided into two parts: one is Ganita and the other is Gola.

Gola emphasizes philosophical observation related to the movement of planets. Observing the position of a certain planet and what phenomena are occurring in the sky at that time. Nowadays, astrologers no longer deal with this. It is the job of astronomers.

This part of astrology is responsible for laws and regulations. These are laws for conducting religious rituals, for example. Samhita answers the question of what to do when a certain event occurs in a person’s life.

This part of astrology is used by astrologers. Today, they don’t deal with Ganita and Samhita. Hora is divided into four parts: Jatana, Nimita, Prashna, Muhurta.

Jatana deals with the birth chart, the combinations of planets, everything related to a person’s horoscope.

This is predictive astrology, based on diagnosing and predicting events according to signs (body signs, natural phenomena, based on the behavior of animals, birds, unusual situations, surprising encounters). This part of astrology is not particularly researched, but it works in extraordinary ways. It includes various signs carrying subtext and signals of karma. But it is important to pay attention to them. Dreams are also related to Nimita.

Here, I will give some examples. The first story is related to the famous ship, Admiral Nakhimov. Someone I know bought a ticket for a cruise for her daughter. Three days before the cruise, the ticket disappeared, although it was always in plain sight in the closet. Then a new ticket was purchased. Obviously, everything ended in tragedy.

The second story is related to starting a job that brought much suffering and a spine disease. The girl went through the job interview, was accepted, and was supposed to start the next day. That very night, she felt ill. It turned out she contracted rubella and started working only after two weeks. The illness was a good warning that she shouldn’t have taken that job.

Here’s another story about a new job. This person, before starting his new job, dreamed of all his deceased relatives. They stood together and judged him with their looks. In that job, he experienced unrequited love and many humiliating situations. It took him a long time to recover.

A beautiful white dove appeared in the stairwell of my friend’s house a month before she met her future husband. What was surprising was that the dove appeared in such a place. Such doves are usually seen in circuses, specially bred. The beautiful plumage looked like a fancy costume. But the dove had a problem with its leg. The children kept it at home and cared for it until it healed. Shortly after, the friend got married, but the marriage was very difficult, with many significant problems.

This is a special method where a horoscope for an event is calculated in order to answer a question related to a specific event. In this case, the client’s birth chart is not used. According to certain rules, it is diagnosed whether the event will be delayed or not. There can be a yes or no answer to the asked question. It is also possible to receive an answer when someone wants to know if a specific person is alive. This method helps to see the investigated event very clearly.

Muhurta is used to diagnose whether a certain time is auspicious for starting something. It can be the purchase of a car, a house, a wedding, etc.

Characteristics of houses in the horoscope and their rulers

All houses in the Vedic horoscope are divided into groups. The houses belonging to the same group affect each other.

Kendra (houses: 1, 4, 7, 10) – These houses are considered the main and the foundation of the horoscope. It is easier to overcome difficulties with a strong foundation. These houses are considered the houses of the god Vishnu. Therefore, it is preferable for benefic planets to be in these houses to strengthen the foundation.

Trikona (houses: 1, 5, 9) – The most auspicious houses, they are called the houses of Lakshmi. The goddess Lakshmi brings us only success and prosperity. Therefore, it would be very good if benefic planets are in these houses.

Dusthana (houses: 3, 6, 8, 12) – These are unfavorable houses, and their characteristics speak for themselves: diseases, enemies, death, loss. Although the third house's characteristics are not clearly associated with something negative, it is considered the least 'Dusthana' house.

Maraka (houses: 2, 7) – These houses are traditionally called the houses of death because they relate to everything that can shorten a person's life.

Upachaya (houses: 3, 6, 10, 11) – These are houses of growth. These houses are considered good for malefic planets because as the person matures, these houses gain a lot of strength. Even malefics like Saturn and Mars can soften their negative effects.

House Lords

In order to determine the lord of a house, you must check which sign the house is in to know which planet rules it.

When diagnosing which planet rules the house under examination, you can check where it is located in the birth chart, i.e., in which house the lord of the examined house is. If there are other planets next to the ruling planet, they will affect the rulers, and it may change the data written below, for better or worse.

The First House in the Horoscope

The first house is an important factor that defines our physical body, and it also shows our position in life at large. A serious affliction to it means that the mother of the horoscope owner had a difficult birth. Someone born with a serious defect in the first house may die in childhood. The weakness of the first house is the main indicator of poor health. It shows innate physical capability. For a person to achieve significant success in life, the first house and its lord must be strong enough. The houses related to the first house define the most important areas that are expressed through our personality in the world.

In the seventh house: Marriage with love, a good, wealthy, and loyal marriage partner, great benefit from the partner’s family, strength, honor, good fortune. Since the lord of the ascendant is in the seventh house, it reflects aspects on itself (the first house – ascendant): strong desires, strong sexual personality, long-distance travel or residence in other countries.

In the eighth house: Poor health, weakened life force, lack of self-respect, difficulties, suffering, unhappy childhood, poor start in life, possible legal accusation.

There is an inclination toward spiritual life, Moksha, or asceticism. This position may negatively affect appearance.

The Second House in the Horoscope

The second house defines the means of livelihood, is related to our ability to earn money and support ourselves materially. Besides that, the second house is connected to the mouth, meaning it characterizes appetite and can serve as a measure of taste—not only in food, but in a broader sense: artistic, intellectual, persuasive. Since this is the house of speech, it is also related to intellect and speech abilities, as well as to artistic and poetic self-expression. The second house follows the first and represents childhood (from infancy to adolescence). A damaged second house may indicate a difficult childhood or early separation from parents.

A strong second house can bring wealth, a high social status, speech and writing abilities. When the second house is damaged, it may indicate wastefulness or sharpness and roughness in speech.

The Seventh House in the Horoscope

This is the house of all types of partners. In a man's horoscope, it represents the wife, and in a woman's horoscope, it represents the husband. It is the house of love and passion. Planets located in it acquire sexual expression. However, the seventh house does not exactly represent romantic relationships (which are better judged by the fifth house), but rather how strong and long-lasting personal connections are. The seventh house signifies partnership in the broadest sense, not just on a personal level.

If contradictions are found in the description of the house lords, then more attention should be paid to those data that repeat several times. Vedic astrology is unique in that, besides the personal natal chart – referred to as D1, there are subdivided charts that assist with all questions. Each of these should be examined alongside the main chart – D1.

D2 Chart

This is the second partial chart, which allows for a detailed observation of the second house in the main natal chart, for the purpose of diagnosing the person's wealth, happiness, problems, and unpleasant situations due to wealth. In addition, the D2 chart diagnoses additional characteristics of the second house in the natal chart (D1): earnings, salary, speech, food, family.

There are two types of D2 horoscopes – Varanasi D2 and Parashara Varga. Each sign in the D1 chart is divided into two parts (Moon lordship and Sun lordship).

It is necessary to diagnose the lord of the second house in the natal chart D1 and see which house it is in D2. This way, one can see from where the person might expect financial assistance and salary. If the lord of the second house in D1 is in the 1st house in D2, the person will need to rely solely on themselves; if in the 2nd house – they will receive help from others, obtaining resources and salary through family; if in the 3rd house – through siblings, neighbors; in the 4th house – through their family; in the 5th house – through creativity, romantic relationships, children; in the 6th house – through providing service to others; in the 7th house – through marriage; in the 8th house – through inheritance; in the 9th house – through the father, the state; in the 10th house – through career; in the 11th house – through assistance from friends. The lord of the second house in D1 located in the 12th house in D2 indicates that one should not spend money thoughtlessly and should be very cautious in this area.

The 1st house shows personality in terms of prosperity, wealth, and the way to acquire wealth.

The 2nd house indicates the accessible sources of wealth, prosperity, resources, food, family, family support, savings.

The 3rd house shows the plans and realization of the plans related to achieving wealth and prosperity.

The 4th house – satisfaction from the financial situation, realization of income and savings.

The 5th house – investments, financial risks, the partner's wealth, hobbies.

The 6th house – loans, debts, barriers regarding money, loss of partners.

The 7th house – the partner's business, collaborations.

The 8th house – loss, money that the person did not earn themselves, inheritance, winnings, crises.

The 9th house – success and security from higher forces, compensation.

The 10th house – income from the main activity.

The 11th house – profits and financial opportunities.

The 12th house – loss, waste, expenses, profits from abroad.

The first half of each odd sign (Aries, Gemini, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius, Aquarius) is under the influence of the Sun, while the second half is under the influence of the Moon. The first half of each even sign (Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn, Pisces) is under the influence of the Moon, while the second half is under the influence of the Sun. If, for example, Mars is 20 degrees away from Virgo in the second half of any even sign, then it is placed in the Sun lordship. This is how all the planets are diagnosed in the horoscope.

In this section, only the signs Cancer (Moon's lordship) and Leo (Sun's lordship) are considered. All planets can be positioned either in Cancer or in Leo, which serve as indicators for the father and mother, through which the results of the second house are expressed.

A rising sign in Leo indicates that it is important for a person to earn money on their own, to support themselves and their relatives (a masculine sign). Such a person is more active.

A rising sign in Cancer indicates that the person is more inclined towards family relationships rather than financial gains (a feminine sign). Such a person has fewer options or desires to earn on their own.

A rising sign in Leo indicates that the horoscope owner is capable of changing their family's karma regarding wealth for the better, while a rising sign in Cancer does not indicate this.

The deities ruling the Sun's lordship are Devata (gods), and the Moon's lordship is Pitri (the ancestors, elders). Planets in Leo indicate wealth through the individual's efforts, while in Cancer, it indicates wealth through the blessings of the ancestors. If more planets are positioned in Cancer, it will be easier for the person to earn; if in Leo, it will be harder.

Jupiter is a marker of wealth and the Karaka (indicator of qualities and traits) of the second house. Its state in the horoscope is very important. The horoscope allows for checking what type a planet belongs to—solar type or lunar type. Masculine planets—Sun, Mars, and Jupiter—give good results when positioned in the Sun's lordship (Leo). Feminine planets—Moon, Venus, and Saturn—give good results in the Moon's lordship (Cancer). The dual-natured Mercury brings good results in both lordships, but in practice, everything depends on which planets influence it in this horoscope.

Each lordship can be divided into 3 parts of 5 degrees. A planet in the first part (0-5 or 20-25) is considered strong, in the second part (5-10 or 15-20)—its powers are average, and in the third part (10-15 or 25-30)—it is weakest.

Planets in the Sun's lordship give the person initiative. Planets in the Moon's lordship mainly provide reliance on society, family, and the past. If there are too few planets in the Sun's lordship, it will be very difficult for the horoscope owner to gain recognition from the environment. If there are too few planets in the Moon's lordship, it indicates a lack of understanding with others and that the person may receive recognition.

It is important to check the Lagna in the horoscope (rising sign), Lagnesha (the planet ruling the rising sign or ascendant, the first house sign), and the Moon. If the Lagnesha (malefic) is positioned in an odd sign in the birth chart and also in the Sun's lordship, the person will be tough, strong, and wealthy. If positioned in the Malefic in the fourth sign of the D1, and also in the Moon's lordship, the person will be successful, wise, with gentle speech. When the condition of the planets is mixed, the results will also vary accordingly.

One can check the ruler of the period the person is in (Dasha) to understand what will happen to the person during that time regarding speech, finances, and tendencies. In Jyotish, it is customary to divide a person's life into periods of planets—Dasha. The meaning of the word Dasha is “state,” “circumstances,” “period.” This period is divided into various sub-periods (each lasting different amounts of time), in which a person's life is influenced by a specific planet or celestial body.

The fundamental nature of a person can be seen through the Lagnesha or the Moon. This is their innate nature, and if the Dasha (nature of the planets) brings changes into this nature, it indicates a period of changes. Any planet in an odd sign in the birth chart and in the Moon's lordship makes the person successful, intelligent, and gentle in speech. For example, Mars in Pisces or in the Moon's lordship makes a person proficient during Mars's period. Jupiter in Leo or in the Sun's lordship, positioned in the first part of the lordship, will bring rude speech and make the person tough during Jupiter's period.

Benefic Planets (waxing Moon or full Moon, Venus, Jupiter, Mercury) tend to provide immediate support in their functions, bringing some goodness, material prosperity, love, and success, without the hindrance of serious difficulties. Whereas the Malefics (Mars, Rahu, Ketu, Sun, Saturn, waning Moon) are there to help us develop certain traits, taking us through various challenges where we temper our character. Additionally, when they influence (provide aspects) in the horoscope on other planets, they take something away, slowing down activity in some areas. Thus, if Saturn, Mars, and Rahu simultaneously bring aspects to a certain house in the horoscope, there will be issues there. This is like the effect of a penetrating and envious gaze. Mercury combined with a malefic also turns malevolent (malefic). When the Moon and Mercury unite with Jupiter or Venus (in Benefics), they gain good traits and become Benefics.

The aspects of Saturn influence the 3rd, 7th, and 10th houses from the house where Saturn is positioned. The aspects of Rahu influence the 5th, 7th, and 9th houses from the house where Rahu is positioned. The aspects of Mars influence the 4th, 7th, and 8th houses from the house where Mars is positioned. The aspects of Jupiter influence the 5th, 7th, and 9th houses from the house where Jupiter is positioned. All other planets influence the 7th house from the house where they are positioned.

Cardinal, Fixed, and Mutable Signs

All signs in the horoscope are divided into cardinal (Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn), fixed (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius), and mutable (Pisces, Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius). This division relates to the specific nature of each sign.

The cardinal signs are associated with curiosity and progress. If we have a person whose majority of planets in their natal chart are in cardinal signs, the traits characterizing their personality will be activity, curiosity, instability, agility, and volatility. Such traits will also be present in a person if their Moon and Lagna are located in cardinal signs.

If most planets are in fixed signs, it indicates a contemplative person, focused, prone to immerse themselves in details, and to ponder something for a long time.

Mutable signs include characteristics of movement and stability. In certain areas, these people can be active, but at some moment, they may "freeze."

Cardinal signs will always push the person forward, fixed signs will stop them, forcing the person to think before making decisions. Mutable signs will bring doubts to the person, creating difficulties in decision-making. It is hard to negotiate with such people. Each type has signs from all the elements (Fire, Water, Earth, Air).

Feminine and Masculine Signs

The same planet can govern a masculine sign and a feminine sign. For example, Venus rules the feminine sign—Taurus and the masculine sign—Libra. When talking about the power of the planet, it is important to know whether it expresses itself in a masculine or feminine nature. In a feminine sign (for example, Venus in Taurus), the planet will manifest in a softer way, whereas in a masculine sign (Venus in Libra), it will express itself in negotiation skills. For career, Venus heralds much better outcomes in Libra than in Taurus.

If most planets in the natal chart of a man are in masculine signs, then his masculine nature will express itself easily, and he will not have to learn it. If most planets are in feminine signs, the man will be soft, flexible, and have a tendency to do household chores.

If in the natal chart of a woman, most planets are in feminine signs, she will easily express her feminine qualities. If most of the stars in her chart are located in masculine signs, she will aim for a career and competition with men.
