ASTROLOGICAL FACTORS THAT MAKE AN ASTROLGER
Part—2 Feb- 21-2010 Sunday
Rule 1: Jataka Parijata (Ch.15, Sl.47) while describing the effects of the 10th Bhava and
various professions from the 10th Bhava says, ‘If the lord of the 10th house occupies the
Navamsa of Mercury, the native will make his livelihood by astrology and allied Shastras.’
Rule 2: Varaha Mihira, in his famous Brihat Jataka (Ch.18, Sh.2) says, ‘If the Sun is in
Gemini, the native will be an astrologer.’
Rule 3: Again in Ch.19, Sl.2, he says ‘If the Moon is in Leo is aspected (7th drushti) by Mercury, the native will be an astrologer.’
Rule 4: Again in Ch.17, Sl.4, while describing the effects of the Moon in various houses,
Varahamihira says: ‘The native with the Moon in Cancer will possess the knowledge of astrology.’
Mantreswara, in Phaladeepika (Ch.5, Sl.5), says: ‘If the lord of the 10th house occupies
the house of Mercury, the native will earn his livelihood through knowledge of the planets.’
Rule 5: Kiranur Nataraja, in his Tamil astrological treatise Jatakalankara while describing the
effects for natives born under four quarters (padas) of the 27 asterisms says: ‘A person born
with the Moon in the 3rd and 4th quarters of Aswini will be fond of astrology.’
Rule 6: He again says: ‘A person with the Moon in the 3rd quarter of Rohini will be well- versed in mantras and astrological mathematics.’
Rule 7: Kiranur Nataraja again says that one who is born with the Moon in first quarter of
Visaka will be an astrologer. He also, like Varaha Mihira, says that if the Moon is in Leo
aspected by Mercury, the native will be a talented astrologer.
Rule 8 : He further states while dealing with the 2 nd Bhava and its effects: ‘The native in
whose natal chart Mercury is in a Kendra, the lord of the 2 nd Bhava is in exaltation, Venus is
in a common (dual) sign, benefics in the 3 rd Bhava and Venus in exaltation – this native will
be an expert in astrology.’
Rule 9: Maharshi (Sage-astrologer) Garga, in his Hora Sastra, describing the effects of Tri-Graha-Yogas (combinations of three planets) in the 5 th Bhava, says: ‘A man who has got the Moon, Venus and Saturn in the 5th house will have good mastery over Jyotisha.’
Rule 10: Illustrious astrologer-author Satyacharya, in his Satyacharyam, says: ‘If the lord of the ascendant is in the 5th Bhava in a benefic sign, amsa or asterism, the native attains the siddhi of a particular God or Deity associated with that benefic. He becomes an astrologer and a friend of powerful persons in authority.’ ------------ (to be continued tomorrow). You can get my full particulars from my web-site : www.jyothishi.com.
