Sample Advice on Kuja Dosha (Malefic Effect of Mars)

Sample advice on Kuja Dosham :

Today (August—30—2008) I give a sample advice, based on the article I published in 9 parts, on Kuja Dosha (Malefic Effects of Mars) in the 2^nd and 3^rd weeks of this month.

	Pisces Aries Moon Rahu Gul BHAVA Man Mars Lagna Sun Mercury Venus Ketu Jupiter Saturn Virgo
	-6- Aries -7- Gul Moon -5- NAVA AMSA Man Sun Mars Ketu Mercury Rahu Leo Saturn Venus Lagna Jupiter

	Aries Mars Lagna Sun Mercury Venus BHAVA Lady Rahu Ketu Leo Moon Libra Jupiter Saturn Gul
	Jup VenSat Ket Mar . . NAVA AMSA Lady .-7- .Lag Mer . . . Moo . Sun Rah .

Kuja Dosham :- Malefic disposition of Mars : 1) Groom : In Bhava chart (which is more accurate, because the Lagna point 140*41’ is taken as the reference point), there is Kuja dosham from Venus; Mars is in 2^nd house from Venus; that is Venus (the significator of wife and marriage and married life) is in Vyayam (12^th house) to Mars; the net dosham is about 35% strong. There is no Kuja dosham from birth lagnam (Leo) or from Moon (Taurus).. Kuja dosham is not remedied in Bhava chart. But in Rasi chart Mars and Mercury are conjunct; so the Kuja dosham appears as remedied. There is no Kuja dosham in Nava Amsa chart (chart used for marriage purposes).

2) Bride :- Both Rasi and Bhava charts are identical. Mars is in 12^th house from birth-lagnam; Mars is in 12^th house from Venus; Mars is in 7^th house from Moon. So she has Kuja dosham in all three aspects; the net dosham is about 90% strong. But Jupiter aspects (sees) Mars; Mars is in 9^th house from Jupiter. So Kuja dosham appears to be partially remedied. In Nava amsa chart she has Kuja dosham from Moon and is not remedied. I do not think remedies can be effective, when the malefic effect is about 90%. These are truths; I wrote them honestly. Please do not be offended; Kuja-dosham can damage the husband’s aayuvu (longevity). So I tell the truth, as my sacred duty, even if it may offend you. Agasthya Maha-rushi (saint-astrologer) in his Agastha Samhitha text on astrologey (Sanskrit sloka) said : “Dhana, vyayecha, pathale, jamithecha, ashtame, Kuja-sthithe, Kuja dase ya vidase, Bharya Bharthru Vinasaayacha, ithi na samsayaha”If Mars is in 2^nd, 7^th, 12^th, or 8^th house from lagnam (birth house) or Moon (Chandra) or Venus (Sukra), the wife is widowed in the main or sub-periods of Mars. There is no doubts (na samasya). In my opinion Kuja dosham is very strong in her chart, so the marriage can not be performed.

Telugu Desam party & Sri Nara Chandra Babu Naidu--Horoscopes

Today (August—29—2008), I explain raja-yogams in the horoscope of Sri Nara Chandra Babu Naidu, erstwhile Chief Minister (1994-2004) of Andhra Pradesh; very dynamic politician & president of Telugu Desam party, also examine his future prospects during th year 2009.

Pisces; Moon Jupiter	Aries Gul	Taurus Lagnam	-2-
Sun Mercury Rahu	RAASI; Feb-28-1952; 11-32 Morn; Naravaripalle; Chittor Dt.		Cancer
Venus -9-			Ketu -4-
-8-	-7-	Libra Mars	Virgo Saturn

This is the natal chart of Sri Nara Chandra Babu Naidu, Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh (1994—2004). Jupiter is in his own house in Laabham. He earns billions of riches and powerful position, using his intelligence and thinking power. Moon is with Jupiter in Pisces, labham (11^th house); this is strong Gaja-Kesari Yoga. Also Jupiter is in his own house (Pisces) is Hamsa yoga. He is blessed with long-life span, success in politics, health and wealth. Venus, the lord of lagnam, is in 9^th house (Bhagyam); he is lucky and prosperous; his marriage to the daughter of Mr. N.T.Rama Rao crowned him with power, luck and meteriotic rise in life. Sun and Mercury are conjunct in Rajyam, 10^th house (Kendra) is Budha-Aditya yoga; he has many own big industries like Heritage Milk; Heritage foods. He gains billions of profits from those industries. There is Parivarthana yogam (exchange yoga); Saturn is in Virgo (5^th house) and Mercury is in Aquarius (10^th house). This Raja- yoga showers on him success in political career and billions of wealth from political career. He will be a successful ruler. Sun is lord of Kendra (4^th) and Mercury is lord of Konam (5^th house); they are conjunct in Rajya-sthanam (10^th); this is Raja-yogam; this makes him a ruler of the state/nation.= Lakshmi-sthaanam thri-konancha; Vishnu-sthaanancha kendraaha.thayo sambandha mathrena , Raja-yoga adhiakam, bhaveth ! (Sanskrit slokam)

Dhana yoga : The lord of birth lagna (Taurus) is Venus and he is in 9th (Bhagyam) house of luck and prosperity. He is a billionaire. Lagna-adhipe bhagya-sthaane stithau, paripoorna-yogadaha, ashesha dhana-samuparjanam.

The Telugu Desam party is going through a bad phase now, based on its birth / of the timing of the launch of the party (March 29, 1982, 2.30 pm).. The Sub-period (Antardasha) of planet Budha, within Rahu Mahardasa, which began on June 23, 2008, will continue up to January 2011. This will not help the TD Party in any way. Also it is not possible for the party to come to power independently, but it has some fair chances if it enters an alliance with many other parties, Personally for Naidu, bad days continue till January 2009; the year 2009 may be a very bad year for the TDP. It may lose more seats in Telangan region than it won during the elections of 2004

This review is of purely academic nature. I am a retired Professor, settled in U.S.A. for ever. I have absolutely no interst in the politics of Andhra Pradesh and India. So please take this review as of academic nature only. Please see my blog: http://jyothishi-pandit.blogspot.com/

Some illustrations of Neecha bhanga raja yogam are given hereunder

Pisces		Taurus	Saturn
Rahu	Example-1 Raasi		Moon Mercury Mars
			Ravi Ketu
		Libra	Lagna Venus

Example: 1 :--In this chart, Venus is in Virgo in birth lagnam and is in debiliation; Mercury is the lord of Virgo. Moon is conjunct with Mercury in Capricorn. Also Virgo is exaltation-house for Mercury. So Mercury is the lord of exaltation for Virgo. So the debilitation for Venus is birth lagnam is removed. So the person enjoyed raja-yogam (royal comforts & happiness) during the period of Venus for 20 years.

	Raasi . Bill Clinton; Erstwhile President of U.S.A. Aug-19-1946		Saturn Mercury
			Sun Leo
	Ketu	Jupiter Libra	Lagna Venus Mars

Exmple :2 :--In the horoscope of Bill Clinton, Venus is debilitated. Jupiter, the lord of Venus’ exaltation house, Pisces, is in Kendra (7^th) from the Moon, forming a Neechabhanga Raja Yoga. Mercury is Venus’ debilitation lord, is also in Kendra (4^th) from the Moon, forming yet another Neechabhanga Raja Yoga. Venus is the lord 2^nd (family and wealth), and the 9^th (father) houses. His father died before he was born, his family life was disrupted; he was brought up by his grandparents. His mother remarried, but to an alchoholic who abused him and his mother and wasted his mother’s earnings. All this suffering gave a great deal of motivation to become great & rich through the planets that cancel Venus’ debilitation, Jupiter and Mercury. In Jupiter-Mercury he became president of the USA. In Venus sub-period, Clinton suffered due to his affair with Monika Lewinsky caused by Venus’ debilitation. We must note that the dasa and antardasa of the debilitated planet still cause troubles & losses even if there is a Neechabhanga Raja Yoga. Sun is in Vyayam (12^th); in his own house; this makes him offer cooperation, harmonious co-existence, and peaceful and non-violent nature He has Gaja-Kesari yoga due to Moon-Jupiter (in opposition); he is highly wealthy and successful in life.

Neecha-bhanga Raja-yogam-

Neecha-bhanga Raja-yogam

If a planet is in Neecha (debilitation) in birth-house (lagnam), the planet gives malefic results to the person. But if that debilitation is removed (neecha-bhanga), the person enjoys beneficial results. If the lord of that house in which the planet is debilitated or the planet which is exalted for that house is in kendram (1,4,7, or 10) from the Moon, the debilitation is removed and the planet gives very beneficial results (raja-yogam). I explain this topic in this short article.

Part—1 (August—25—2008) Neecha Bhanga

A debilitated planet is in its most feeble state, there are merely ways the planet is strengthened therefore lessening the effects of the debilitated planet. A weak planet will cause problems pertaining to the significations for that planet, also the dasha cycles of that planet can cause severe problems. Neecha means debilitated and bhanga means removal. Here are the main ways by which the debility of the planet can be modified, or cancelled. It is very important to consider this aspect in natal chart during its interpretation. In the opinion of renowned astrologers like Sri B.V.Raman and other ancient and present day astrologers the debilitation of the planet is removed as follows.

1) Lord of the house occupied by a debilitated planet, is in a Kendra house (angle) (1,4,7 or 10) from the Lagna or Indu-lagnam (the house Moon exists).
2) The planet which gets exalted in the sign where a planet is debilitated is in a Kendra house from the lagna or the Indu-lagnam (Moon).
3) The lord of the exaltation house of the debilitated planet is in a Kendra from the Lagna or the Indu-lagnam (Moon). (to be continued tomorrow) ==============

Bhagavan Sri Krishna Parama-atma's Natal chart analysis-Part-3

HOROSCOPE ANALYSIS OF GOD SRI KRISHNA

Part : 3 (August—24—2008) Today

Sri Krisna Jayanathi is celebrated in U.S.A.

temples of ISKCON. May God Sri Krishna

bless us all !

I am happy, lucky and blessed by God (Lord) Sri Krishna, to analyse the horoscope of Lord Sri Krishna; Supreme God, incarnation of God Sri Maha Vishnu. Sri Krishna arapana-masthu = I dedicate all this horoscope-analysis to the lotus feet of Lord Sri Krishna !

Vande Vasudeva-sutham, Devam, Kamsa, Chanura-mardhanam, Devaki parama-anandam, vande Sri Krishnam, Jagad-gurum.

15) Venus is kalthra-karaka (significator of wife), Mars is lord of vyayam (12^th house (Scorpio). Venus (102*53’), Mars (91*05’) and Rahu (108*23’) are together in 3^rd house (pachaya). Due to this Sri Krishna has 8 wives. Venus and Rahu are very near and Mars (sensuous planet) is away from Venus. Sri Krishna has no carnal attitude; in fact he practiced and preached total detachment from worldy pleasures and possessions. Venus as lord of birth lagna endows him vitality, but he has complete control over his senses, desires and organs. house) and 7

16) 5^th house (Virgo) has its lord Mercury in exaltarion; Jupiter is (puthra-kaarak) is in Kendra conjunct with Sun (in his own house); these benefic aspects bestowed him many children; all are hale, healthy, happy and highly gifted, like Anirudha, Pradyumna.

17) Sri Krishna has Jupiter-Sun (in his own house) conjunction in 4^th house; houise of education and learning. So Krishna has ocean of knowledge, wisdom and learning. He is a sikhsak (Guru) of Vedas, Vedaangas and all sastras and kalalu (fine-arts). He mastered 64 branches of learning in 64 days during his boyhood, says Sri Bhagavatham. He is expert in various asthras and sastraas (weapons use in battle). He is the Lord of all forms of learning and Supreme Guru.

18) The Kurukshetra war occurred during his Ketu period. Sri Krishna played a vital and decisive role in Mahabharatha war and was the real hero of the episode, without taking active role in the war. Ketu is in bhaya-sthaana (9^th house) ruled by Saturn (yoga-kaarka for him); Saturn gains full digbala (directional strength) by virtue of his position in 7^th house. Ketu gives the beneficial results due to Saturn. He was the driver of the chariot of Arjuna and was observing the war silently and appeare to be passive. But he directed the movements and course of the war so meticulously, that he achieved his prime mssion of life (avathara) “destroying the cruel and wicked Kauravas and their supporters abd protecting the righteous, and virtuous Pandavas and their followers” quite successfully.

19) Ketu is moksha-kaaraka (significator of salvation); he is in 9^th house in the constellation of Moon. Mars (martial planet) apects (7^th drushti) Ketu; Saturn was beneficial and very well fortified. It was during the end of Ketu period Venus sub-period, Sri Krishna preached the Bhagavad-geetha, the quit-essence of dharma to Arjuna on the Kurukshethra battle field before the commencement of war. When Arjuna shirked to fight overcome by emotions, Sri Krishna preached him his duty as Kshathriya to fight bravely in the war and leave the results to Parama-atma Sri Krishna. Bhagavad-geetha now is the basis for universal dharma and all real religions.

20) After the Mahabharatha war Sri Krishna led a peaceful life during Venus. Sun and Moon periods for about 35 years. 21) The starting of Mars period brought him troubles; dissensions among yadavas broke out. Finally Sri Krishna freed from his mortal body and attained his Divine status during this Mars main period and Mars sub-period during the directional (malefic) influence of Mars. Mars is lord of 7^th house is maarka (death-causing); he is in 3^rd In Nava-amsa Mars is in 2^nd house (maarka sthaana; death-causing). Consistant with Mars nature. Sri Krishna was hit by an arrow of a hunter; and his end was caused by a weapon. God Sri Krishna changed shis mortal body into his divine temporal body and returned to his heavenly abode “Vaikuntha”. His physical body disappeared. house (upachay), house of longevity and is conjunct with (malefic) Rahu;

22) It is impossible for ordinary persons to evaluate the divine personality of Bhagavan Sri Krishna. He is the Supreme Lord incarnate, statesman, counsellor, diplomat, philosopher and Yogeswara, the expounder of immortal Bhagavad-geetha, the destroyer of the sinners and the protector of the virtuous = Parithranaya sadhoonam; vinasayacha dushkruthaam… 23) All the three important factors in his horoscope, the strong birth-lagna, Sun and the Moon have been rendered very beneficial. Atma-kaarka Sun, conjunct with Janana-kaarka Jupiter aspecting (7^th drushti) the 10^th house (karma-sthaana) reveals a highly integrated and balanced personality of Sri Kirishna. Saturn (Yoga-kaaraka) is in Varga-uttama-amsa and has digbala (directional strength). Saturn aspecting (10^th drushti) Sun and Jupiter and his being placed in his own constellation are favourbale factors rendering the nativity strong and beneficial. Since Saturn happens to be aayu-kaarka (significator of longevity) also, the strong disposition of Saturn conferred a long life-span of 125 years to Sri Krishna.

24) Mercury is lord of 2^nd (speech) and 5^th houses (intelligence) and is exalted in trikona (5^th house) proves him to be an extraordinary intellectual genius. 25) Lagna lord is Venus and is conjunct with two malefics Mars and Rahu in upachaya-sthaana. Jupiter and Sun are conjunct in Kendra (4^th house); these two important factors endow Sri Krishna perfection in all aspects of his personality. He is an ideal father, an ideal son, an ideal husband, an ideal ruler (king), an ideal statesman, and above all an ideal Guru (teacher who guides people like Arjuna from asath (ignorance) to sath and sad-gathi (wisdom and elightenment). He not only preached but also showed in practice to perform his own duties, by being non-attached to the deeds or its fruits (results).

My own remarks : I strongly believe that Sri Krishna was a historical reality. I vehemently oppose the so-called-scholars and modern politicians who argue that Sri Rama and Sri Krishna were not epic heroes but only fantasy figures. Even photographs taken recently from satellites and sub-marines revealed unequivocally the remains of the city of Dwaraka and its palaces submerged under the Arabian sea on the west coast in Sourashtra region. A mere fantasy figure and literary creation can not move billions of people from ages and bring solace and bliss to countless souls. We can find clues to His divine personality based on the manner the benefits and malefics are disposed in his Horoscope and the spheres of influences involved. The explanation of the meanings of all His deeds can progressively reveal itself to thousands of generations that follow Him. The immortal and divine song of universal dharma, the great Bhagavad-geetha preached by Supreme Lord Sri Krishna to Arjuna, when he was wavering to fight the battle and do his duty properly, has inspired and influenced billions of persons for the past 5 thousand years. Geetha offered solutions to their problems according to their own stage of mental and spiritual evolution; it guided many on the path of righteousness and prevented many from treading paths of sin and wrong.

I was profoundly influenced by Bhagavad-geetha during my childhood (9 to 12 years of age) and tried to practise the priciples of dharma propounded therein in my own life; I was immensely benefited in my life. I suffered many material losses in worldly affairs due to my moral and ethical behaviour but I gained happiness, mental peace and spiritual solace from practice of principles propounded in Bhaavad-geetha, in my life. Aum thath sath! (concluded). Am Namo Sri Krishna Bhagavan. My booklet on Moral values propounded in Bhagavad-geetha won the Best Book Award, in an open-competition, from world-renowned Sri Chinmaya Mission; Trissur, Kerala; India during 1995. ===================== You can get my full particulars from my web-site www.jyothishi.com.

Bhagavan Sri Krishna Parama-atma's Natal chart analysis--Part-2

HOROSCOPE ANALYSIS OF GOD SRI KRISHNA

Part---2. (Aug—23—2008) Sri Krishna Jayanthi holy day

I am happy, lucky and blessed by God (Lord) Sri Krishna, to analyse the horoscope of Lord Sri Krishna; Supreme God, incarnation of God Sri Maha Vishnu. Sri Krishna arpana-masthu = I dedicate all this horoscope-analysis to the lotus feet of Lord Sri Krishna Bhagavaan !

1) Birth lagna is Taurus and Venus is its lord. Exalted moon (47*45’) is very near birth lagna (50*41’). Vrushabha lagne Chandra stithau, su-roopam; paripoorna bhagyadaha = Moon bestows him handsome and strong body and the period of Moon is highly beneficial to him. 2) Saturn’s (yoga-kaaraka for Taurus) drushti (aspect) is on Moon and birth lagna; so Sri Krishna is very handsome. Venus, Moon, Mars and Saturn have dominant influence and this combined beneficial effect has given Sri Krishna a very graceful and handsome appearance.

3) Venus is in nis own house (5^th from Lagna) in Nava amsa chart; this bestowed him magnanimous nature: he was epitome of courtesy and kindness even to poor person like Kuchela; and to lwo born Chandala and servant-maid Kubja (as we find in Bhagavahta).

3) Mars is in cancer and is debilitated; and gave him neecha-bhange raja-yoga; Mars is martial nature planet; he has Varga-uttama-amsa; this gave Sri Krishna invincible martial powers; Mars in 3^rd house (courage & bravery). He fought bravely and killed hundreds of mighty raakshasas like Kamsa, Sisupala, Dantavakra. His tact, courage, resourcefulness in battle field are extolled several times in Sri Bhagavatha. He caused death of Kaalnemi like raakshasaas by tact, because they can not be killed in face-to-face fight by the boons they acquired.

All these super-yogas made him a Ruler of the world and an Emperor of the entire Universe.

Mercury is exalted in Virgo, his own house and is in 5^th house (Kona; Sri Maha Lakshmi stanam). Vrushabhe panchame Soumye, akhanda raja-yogasya, vidya, vahana, udyoga, puthra labhadaha = The person enjoys the stature and comforts and life of an Emperor; he gifted with highest level of learning; he has numerous vehicles, horses, and elelpahnts; highest power and profession (he ruled the Universe); he is blessed with highly renowned children. 4) Moon is the planet of emotions; she is exalted in birth lagna; so Sri Krishna had lot of emotional attachment to his devotees and hastens to rescue them without any delay; ex: Draupadi devi at the time of her modesty being attacked in Kaurava royal court by Demon-brothers Duryodhana and Dussasana and others. This also gave him serenity of mind and is unmoved in the most difficult and precarious situations; ex. at the time of his visit to Kaurava’s royal court as ambassador of Pandavas to encourage Kauravas to abstain from war and give some share in the kingdom, Kauravas tried to harm him; he did not lose his composure and dealt them in befitting way.

5) Mercury is the lord of 2^nd (house of speech) and 5^th (house of intellect) and is in Virgo (5^th; house) and is exalted. This bestowed him highest intelligence, power of speech to convince persons and turn them to his side tactfully. He is an intellectual giant; he posses the highest power of underatnding; he tactfully dealt with Duryodhana when he aproached him for support in Kurushethra war and helped Arjua. He dealt with various virtues and deceptions all his life quire successfully. The ideal disposition of Mercury gave him uncanny diplomacy, skills of tackling and unlimited vision; he possessed boundless power of thinking and planning. He planned several incidents and mainly the Kurukshetra war and executed his plans so meticulously that always his plans were successful and yielded the results he wanted.

6) Lord Sri Krishna has Moon’s period (Chandra Maha Dasa) running at the time of birth. Krishna Ashtami Moon is waning and is 50% beneficial; 50% malefic. Saturn’s drushti (aspect) on lagna is malefic. Mars (lord of 7^th house; marakasthaana (death-causing) is in 3^rd house ruled by Moon So he suffered fierce attacks from demons like Poothana, Vrushabhasura, Sakatasura and the like; due to his divine nature, he killed them all and saved himself very easily. During the periods of Moon and Mars, he suffered many bala-arishtas (dangers of life during childhood) His birth star is Rohini; it causes danger to the life of his maternal uncle (Demon King Kamsa). The Bala-arishtas of Sri Krishna ended with his killing Kamsa, as part of his life’s mission.

7) During Rahu main period, he destroyed most of the demons like Mushti, Chaanoora, Demon King Kamsa, Sisupala, Kalanemi, Madhu, Kaitabha and many more. During the period of Jupiter he maintained peace and tranquility in the world and helped Pandavas from their troubles.

During the period of Saturn, he wielded his power and guided the Kurukshethra war and completed the destruction of evil forces prevalent in the form of Kauravas and their associates.; and protected dharma (righteousness) in the world. He showered his blessings profusely on his devotees King Bhishma, Vidura, Akroora and bestowed them moksha (freedom from cycle of birth and death; salvation).

8) Vrushe’ sendhau la savithur theekshan shuthanayoh suhruth jayaa khasyaur bhavathi niyamaan manavapathihi = If Vrushabha (Taurus) is birth lagna and Moon (Chandra) is in it, Sun (Ravi) is in Leo (Simha). Saturn (Sani) is in Aquarius (Kumbha), the person will certainly be an Emperor. He is, like Sun, is very brilliant hero and unconquerable. 9) Jupiter is in the 4^th house (kendra) Sanamanadhyo, dhana, vahana, bhavnadai sanjatha harshaha, purusha ssadaivaha, nrupa-anukampana upaatha sampath; ambholi bhrun-manthrini bhoothalasthe = Sri Krishna is worshpped by millions of people then and now; all the kings and emperors adored him as the Supreme Lord; he received invaluable gifs and offerings from many kings and rulers. He is the perennial fountain of Brahma-ananda; a soruce of infinite bliss and happiness. He possesses all the land (Universe); he is omniscient (poseesed all knowledge and wisdom); all his relatives, friends and devotees prosper well and are immensely benefited by his grace . Sri Krishna was an eptome of rich and benevolent sympathy and responsive divine generosity and munificence. 10) Ravi, Jeeva samyuthau yathra Ravi paake su-yogadaha; Guru daaye maha-yogam; ithi nischayaha = The conjunction of Sun and Jupiter is highly beneficial. Both Sun and Jupiter bestow him the best benefits. Also this combination made him a teeror to his enemies and a ever-helping friend to his friends, relatives, wise people and his devotees.

11) Saturn is the lord of Bhagya (9^th) and Rajya (10^th) houses; he is very highly beneficial to Vrushabha (Taurus) lagna native. Saturn alone can give high benefits without any conjugation = Vrushabhasyacha Mandaika dharma-karma-adhip-bhaveth; Sani eakam subham-daanthum samartho. Saturn aspects (drushti on10^th) the 4^th house and Sun (Atma-kaaraka) and Jupiter (Dharma and Karma karaka) in Leo. So Sri Krishna possessed a msiilnary zeal to protect Dharma and the rightesous. This is the main purpose of his avathar (incarnation).

12) The lord of Lagna (Venus) and the lord of vyaya (12^th house) (Mars) and Rahu are conjunct in 3^rd house (upachaya); this explains the occuracne of birth of Sri Krishna in prison.

13) Jupiter is the lord of 11^th house (Pisces); house of elder brothers; je in Kendra in 4^th house and gained 8 navamsas. He is aspected (10^th drushti) by Saturn and Saturn is conjunct with Rahu in nava-amsa.
