Terminologies used in Vedic astrology:

- Aspects : the aspects of a sign and planets in them to the Ascendant play a significant role in determining the nature and abilities of the individual.

- Karta – Any planet aspecting/joining Lagna in the Rasi, Drekhanna or Navamsa charts is known as Karta. i) In the rasi chart Sun, Moon, Jupiter and Ketus are Kartas. ii) In D-3 chart Jupiter, Venus and Mars are Kartas iii) In D/9 chart Ketu and Saturn are Kartas

- Kevala : If the subhapatii (lord of the Moon sign) aspects/joins the janma lagna or the Hora or Ghatika Lagna, it is termed as Kevala.

- If the Kevala aspects both Janma lagna and Hora lagna or Janma lagna and Ghatika lagna, it is called KEVALA YOGADI.

- If the Kevala aspects all the three lagnas – Janma, Hora and Ghatika lagnas, it is called KEVALA M

- MAHA YOGADI. - In the example chart:

i) Moon is in Leo and the subhapati, the Sun. is in the Janma lagna, conjoins Hora lagna in Leo and aspects Ghatika lagna in Libra.

ii) Therefore, the Sun is Kevala Mahayogada – the native is born with a silver spoon and has plenty of everything.

iii) Six planets qualify as Kartas in rasi chart. Rahu qualifies in Navamsa while Saturn and mars qualify in Drekhanna.

iv) All 8 planets, except Saturn, qualify as SWAKARTA – aspecting/joining Janma lagnain rasi, navamsa and drekhanna.

v) Planets aspecting/joining Hora lagna become DHANA KARTA (giving wealth) and planets aspecting Ghatika lagna become RAJKARTA (giving power an authority).

vi) YOGADA : Yoga = union. A planet aspecting/conjoining the Janma and Hora lagna or the Janma and Ghatika lagna become Yogada – capable of giving the native prosperity and power.

vii) If the native is to enjoy wealth and position himself, then the planet must aspect/conjoin the natal ascendant.

viii) If the yogada aspects/joins only with the Hora and Ghatika lagna, wealthe and power will be with somebody he associates with

In the example chart :

There are 6 yogada planets in the rasi chart and they are natural benefics and luminaries. Natural malefic Saturn, Mars and Rahu have stayed out.

Five out of six yogada planets aspect all the three lagnas, Janma, Hora and Ghatika. The native was from the family of the longest reigning PM and involved with the topmost level of decision making.

VARNADA LAGNA

1. If janma lagna is in an odd sign – count from Aries (Mesha) in regular order to Janma Lagna

2. If janma lagna is in an even sign – count from Pisces (Meena) backwards to Janma Lagna 3. Similarly, apply the above procedure to Hora lagna. 4. If both the lagnas (janma lagna & hora lagna) are odd, then add their numbers or

longitudes 5. If both the lagnas (janma lagna & hora lagna) are even, then subtract their numbers or

longitudes – subtract the smaller from the larger. 6. a) If it is odd count from Mesha directly.

b)If it is even, count from Meena in reverse.

4.1.26 (SR) Profession is seen from the sign occupied by the lord of the Varnada Lagna.

Varnada Bhede refers to the Varnada Lagna as well as the caste system based on profession inherited by the son from the father – in the feudalistic society.

In today’s world of diversification, the influence of other planets and signs besides the dispositor of the Lord of Varnada Lagna should be considered.

Signs Representations Planets representing them Fiery Kshatriyas : Leo - authority and politicians

Aries - armed forces, etc Sagittarius - bureaucrats

Sun and Mars

Watery Brahmans and intellectuals Pisces - priests Scorpio - astrologer, magicians, research scientists, etc. Cancer - doctors, nurses, etc.

Jupiter and Moon

Airy Vaisyas – businessmen Gemini - traders Aquarius – industrialists Libra - other businessmen

Venus and Mercury

Earthy Sudras - workers Capricorn - Labour Virgo - Accountants Taurus - Other workers

Saturn

Foreigners, distant caste Rahu Sweepers, garbage cleaners Ketu

There are two methods of calculating Varṇada Lagna. One is based on degrees and the other is based on signs. Both methods follow the same steps, but can reveal different results if the combined result of the Lagna and Hora Lagna exceeds 30 degrees.

CALCULATING THE VARNADA OF RAJIV GNADHI CHART:

Signs in which Lagna & Hora lagna are placed

Longitude of the lagnas Signs deg. Min.

For 1st house (Lagna): Lagna is Simha (odd sign) Hora lagna is in Simha (odd)

04 14 46 04 29 22 (+) 09 14 08 = 14 Cap 08

As both are odd, ADD Counting will start from Aries V1 falls in Capricorn

For 2nd house : Lagna of 2nd house 360 00 164 46 (-) 195 14 Hora lagna of 2nd house 360 00 179 22 (-) 180 38 195 14 180 38 (+) 375 52 360 00 (-) 15 52 360 00 015 52 (-) 344 08 =14 Pisces 08

To get the ascendant degree of the 2nd house, add 30 degrees to the ascendant degree of the 1st house. Similarly add 30 degrees for hora lagna As lagna is even, minus lagna degree from 360 (or Meena) As hora lagna is even, minus hora lagna degrees from 360 (or Meena) As lagna and hora lagna are minus, add both the longitudes As the sum is obtained from even signs ( minus) deduct it from 360 or Meena rasi (12 signs)

For 3rd house (Lagna): Lagna is Tula (odd sign) Hora lagna is in Simha (odd)

06 14 46 06 29 22 (+) 13 14 08 12 00 00 (-) = 14 Tau 08

As both are odd, ADD Counting will start from Aries V3 falls in Capricorn

To get the ascendant degree of the 4nd house, add 30 degrees to the ascendant degree of the 3rdt house. Similarly add 30 degrees for hora lagna As lagna is even, minus lagna degree from 360 (or Meena) As hora lagna is even, minus hora lagna degrees from 360 (or Meena) As lagna and hora lagna are minus, add both the longitudes As the sum is obtained from even signs ( minus) deduct it from 360 or Meena rasi (12 signs)

For 5th house (Lagna): Lagna is Dhanu (odd sign) Hora lagna is in Dhanu (odd)

08 14 46 08 29 22 (+) 17 14 08 12 00 00 (-) 05 14 08 = 14 Virgo 08

As both are odd, ADD Counting will start from Aries V5 falls in Taurus

For 6th H 14 Sco 08 Even sign – counting will start from Pisces V6 falls in Scorpio

a)V7 will have the same degree of V1 b) V8 will have the same degree of V2

c)V9 will have the same degree of V3 b) V10 will have the same degree of V4

c)V11 will have the same degree of V5 b) V12 will have the same degree of V6

CHARA DASHA

- In Jaimini System, dasha implies dasha of sign like Aries, Taurus, Gemini … Pisces. - Chara Dasha begins from sign rising in the Lagna. Suppose Aries sign is rising in

the Lagna, first Mahadasha will be of Aries. Likewise, the sequence of Antara, Pratyantara etc will be in the same manner. In a particular sign dasha first antaradasha, pratyantardasha etc will of that particular sign.

DIRECTIONS OF CHARA DASH

Following this information we are now able to divide the zodiacal signs into the following four quadrants of Savya (forward) and Apasavya (backward) counting: 1) Savya forward counting: Aries, Taurus and Gemini 2) Apasavya backward counting: Cancer, Leo and Virgo 3) Savya forward counting: Libra, Scorpio and Sagittarius 4) Apasavya backward counting: Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces

- Six signs adopt direct direction when these are in Lagna: Aries, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Aquarius and Pisces.

- Six signs adopt indirect direction when these are in Lagna: Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Scorpio, Sagittarius and Capricorn.

- (Adh. 2, Pada 3, sutra 28:) Panchamepadakramatprakpratyaktvam. "If the 9th from Lagna happens to be incorporated in an odd sign take the Rasi Dasas in the regular order. If it happens to be incorporated in an even sign, take the Rasi Dasas in the reverse order or backwards. The commencement of the Dasa should be from the Lagna. Kethu in these cases is considered as a benefic".

- Here we learn that the forward and backward countings of the Rasi-Dasas (read Chara-Dasas) is decided from the sign in the 9th house, and not from the Ascendant. We are however informed that the commencement of the Dasas is from the Ascendant - meaning the first Dasa will always be that of the Ascendant.

- Please observe that the rule about the 9th house should ONLY be applied in order to decide about the forwards or backwards countings of the Dasa-periods themselves - it should NOT be applied to neither the sub-periods nor to the calculation of the years of each Dasa-period.

- Counting the number of years In sutra 28 of Adh. 1, Pada 1 we are told: "Many of the writers are of the opinion, that the Rasi Dasa extent over such number of years which are counted from the Rasi to the place where its lord is located".

- This means that the number of years of each sign are found by counting from the sign in question up to the place of its lord. If the lord of a given house is in that very house itself we have to give 12 years. In case of the other house positions it will be the number of the house minus one.

- Sub periods of Chara dasha :Adh. 1, Pada 1, sutra 34: Yavadwivekamavrittirbhanam. - "Divide the Rasi Dasas by 12 and distribute the same to the 12 Rasis in proportion to the

Rasi Dasas to get sub-periods. The counting should be direct in case of odd signs and vice


VARGAS


versa if even". Chara Dasa means changeable time-periods, this type of dasas was actually divided into sub-periods by Jaimini.

- From this present sutra we learn that each dasa-period in Chara Dasa should be divided into 12 equal parts. This makes the calculation very easy and simple, since the number of months of each sub-period in a dasa will always be equal to the number of years of that particular dasa. Following this principle a dasa-period of, say, 8 years will get sub-periods of 8 months and a dasa-period of 4 years will get sub-periods of 4 months each.

- No 9th-house-rule for sub-periods: ) - a) If the dasa in question belongs to the savya (forward) group then the first sub-period will

be the 2nd house from the running dasa and the counting is direct. b)If it belongs to the apasavya (backward) group then it starts from the 12th house and the counting is backwards. In both cases the sign of the dasa in question will become the last (12th) sub-period. c)The number of months of each sub-period in a dasa will always be equal to the number of years of that particular dasa. This way a dasa-period of, say, 8 years will get sub-periods of 8 months each, and a dasa-period of 4 years will get sub-periods of 4 months each.

For determining the length of Mahadasha, there is concept of counting in forward and backward order for particular sign. Once we determine the starting Chara Dasha of a Rashi, the duration is that Rashi dasha is assessed by counting in forward or backward as follows: LAGNA DURATION OF DASHA Aries Count Forward to Mars' location, then subtract 1 Taurus Forward to Venus' location, then subtract 1 Gemini Count forward to Mercury's location, then subtract 1 Cancer Count backward to the Moon's location, then subtract 1 Leo Count backward to the Sun's location, then subtract 1 Virgo Count backward to Mercury's position, then subtract 1 Libra Count forward to Venus' location, then subtract 1 Scorpio Count forward to Mars' (or Ketu's) position, then subtract 1 Sagittarius Count forward to Jupiter's position, then subtract 1 Capricorn Count backward to Saturn's position, then subtract 1 Aquarius Count backward to Saturn's (or Rahu's) position, then subtract 1* Pisces Count backward to Jupiter's position, then subtract 1 Counting the Dasha period: If a planet is in its own sign, it is assigned twelve years. In Jaimini system Aquarius and Scorpio have two lords. - Aquarius: - Saturn and Rahu - Scorpio : - Mars and Ketu To solve this issue - whether to take Saturn or Rahu for lordship of Aquarius. Sage Jaimini discuss all the possible answer to find the actual lord. Different possibilities are: -

a) When both conjunct in the same sign. Subtract 1 from the distance; it will give you the period of that particular sign.

b) If one placed in own sign and other in different then opt the second option. (If Mars is in Scorpio, and Ketu is not, then, Ketu is selected. If Ketu is in Scorpio and Mars is not, then Mars is picked)- Dasha period is dependent on position of lord from its sign. Now if the sign is savya then count the distance between the sign and its lord, in case of upsavya rashi count the distance but in reverse direction.

c) If both are in different sign then choose the lord having more companion.

d) If both are having same numbers of planets with themselves then choose the lord placed in dual sign. (Dual Sign - Fixed Sign - Movable Sign) e)Despite this, if still there is a problem of selecting among them, the planet at higher degree is the winner.

e) A similar method is to be used for Saturn and Rahu in the case of Aquarius.

Chara Dasha calculation for the above horoscope:

1. As the 9th house from Leo is Aries, it is a Savya rasi, hence counting is direct- in the clockwise direction from Leo:

Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces, Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer.

2. As the dasha is of Savya rashi, the sub period will be the second house from Leo, i.e., Virgo with the last sub period ending up with the Ascendant, i.e. Leo.

3. Rashi Dashas:
