ABOUT JYOTISH https:Y
THE PLANETS HAVE NO CONSCIOUS BENEVOLENCE OR ANIMOSITY. THEY
MERELY SEND OUT POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE RADIATIONS. THESE ARE CAUSE &
EFFECT EQUILIBRIUM WHICH MAN HAS SET IN MOTION IN THE PAST.A
CHILD IS BORN AT THE PRECISE TIME WHEN THE PLANETARY RAYS ARE IN
MATHEMATICAL HARMONY WITH HIS INDIVIDUAL KARMA(PAST ACTIONS). THE
CHART SHOWS AN UNALTERABLE PAST AND ITS LIKELY FUTURE RESULT.
HOWEVER BECAUSE THE PERSON HIMSELF WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR CREATING
THESE EFFECTS THAT PERSON CAN OVERCOME ANY LIMITATIONS OR
DIFFICULTIES INHERENT IN HIS CHART,ALSO THE SELF HAS SPIRITUAL
RESOURCES WHICH ARE NOT SUBJECT TO PLANETARY FORCES.MAN IS A
SOUL(ATMAN) AND HAS A BODY. THE MORE HE IDENTIFIES WITH THE
LIMITLESS SPIRIT(THE SELF/ATMAN) THE LESS HE IS DOMINATED BY
MATTER.
ALL HUMAN ILLS ARISE FROM A VIOLATION OF NATURAL LAW. (THE LAWS
OF NATURE WHICH UPHOLD THE EVOLUTION OF ALL BEINGS IN THE
UNIVERSE) BECAUSE OF CERTAIN MECHANICAL FEATURES IN THE LAW OF
KARMA THE ANCIENT RISHIS(SEERS) DEVISED CERTAIN MEASURES TO
ALLEVIATE (MINIMISE OR REDUCE) THE CURRENT OR FUTURE ILLS CAUSED
BY PAST WRONGS;SUCH AS THE WEARING OF SPECIFIC GEMS/PRECIOUS
METALS, WHICH EMIT AN ASTRAL RADIATION WHICH COUNTERS THAT SENT
OUT BY THE PLANET(TO BE EFFECTIVE THE GEMS MUST BE FAULTLESS, OF A
SPECIFIC WEIGHT AND MUST BE TOUCHING THE SKIN).THE EFFECT IS LIKE
THAT OF A LIGHTNING CONDUCTOR ON A HOUSE. THE GEMS RELATING TO
SPECIFIC PLANETS ARE SHOWN BELOW. THE GEM USUALLY RECOMMENDED IS
THAT APPERTAINING TO THE PLANET WHICH IS LORD OF THE ASCENDANT.
OTHER ACTIONS WHICH CAN MINIMISE THE MALIGN EFFECTS IN A PERSONS
CHART INCLUDE YAGYAS (VEDIC CEREMONIES DESIGNED TO APPEASE THE
VARIOUS PLANETS). MEDITATION.WILL POWER.PRAYER OR CONSULTATION
WITH ENLIGHTENED MASTERS. SO JUST BECAUSE THERE IS A NEGATIVE
INFLUENCE IN A CERTAIN PART OF A PARTICULAR
CHART(I.E.RELATIONSHIPS) IT DOES NOT MEAN THAT THE SITUATION IS
HOPELESS!
ZODIAC
IS AN IMAGINARY SPHERE ENCIRCLING THE HEAVENS INSIDE OF WHICH THE
SUN,MOON,PLANETS ETC.TRAVEL IN THEIR ORBITS.THIS SPACE IS DIVIDED
INTO SEGMENTS OF 30Deg I.E. THE TWELVE SIGNS.AT ONE TIME THESE
SIGNS CORRESPONDED TO ACTUAL FIXED STAR CONSTELLATIONS. BUT DUE TO
THE PROCESSION OF THE EQUINOX (1deg per 70 years) THIS NO LONGER
APPLIES THERE IS A DIFFERENCE OF ABOUT 23 DEG.THE WESTERN ZODIAC
(TROPICAL) IS CORRECTED BY THIS AMOUNT TO GIVE THE SIDEREAL ZODIAC
USED IN JYOTISH. ACCORDINGLY THE SUN SIGN MAY BE IN A DIFFERENT
SIGN IN JYOTISH THAN IN WESTERN ASTROLOGY. HOWEVER JYOTISH DOES NOT
GIVE PERSONALITY/CHARACTER ANALYSIS FOR THE SIGNS AS PER WESTERN
SYSTEM- IT IS MAINLY CONCERNED WITH PREDICTED LIFE EVENTS.

(A MALIFIC PLANET IN A SIGN INDICATES A POSSIBLE WEAKNESS IN THE
CORRESPONDING BODY PART & VICE VERSA)
HOUSES:IN JYOTISH WHICHEVER SIGN IS ON THE ASCENDANT AT BIRTH
BECOMES THE FIRST HOUSE.
PLANETARY ASPECTS
ALL PLANETS ASPECT THE HOUSE 7 SIGNS ON.IE MARS IN THE FIRST HOUSE
WILL ASPECT THE 7TH HOUSE.
IN ADDITION:MARS ASPECTS 4 & 8 JUPITER ASPECTS 5 & 9 SATURN
ASPECTS 3 & 10 RAHU & KETU HAVE NO ASPECT
PRINTOUT CHARTS
THE TWO CHARTS USUALLY SHOWN ARE THE RASI KUNDALI (MAIN CHART) AND
NAVAMSHA (A CHART CALCULATED FROM THE MAIN CHART WHICH PURPORTS TO
SHOW ABOUT RELATIONSHIPS BUT WHICH ALSO HAS A MODIFYING EFFECT ON
THE MAIN CHART. IN BOTH THESE CHARTS THE TOP MIDDLE HOUSE IS
ALWAYS THE FIRST HOUSE (ASCENDANT) AND THE HOUSES ARE SHOWN 1-12
ANTICLOCKWISE ENDING WITH THE 12th HOUSE ON THE TOP RHS. THE
NUMBERS IN THE HOUSE REFER TO THE SIGN IN THAT HOUSE
I.E.4 CANCER).
DASAS PLANETARY PERIODS
IN THE JYOTISH SYSTEM EACH PLANET GOVERNS FOR A FIXED LENGTH OF
TIME FROM BIRTH CAUSING EFFECTS ACCORDING TO THE NATURE OF THE
PLANET AND ITS POSITION AND DIGNITY IN A PARTICULAR CHART.
MAHA DASA (GREAT DASA)
SUN 6yrs
MOON 10yrs
MARS 7yrs
RAHU 18yrs
JUPITER 16yrs
SATURN 19yrs
MERCURY 17yrs
KETU 7yrs
VENUS 20yrs
THE EXACT POINT THAT THIS CYCLE BEGINS DEPENDS ON THE POSITION OF
THE MOON AT BIRTH.
IN THE MAIN PERIOD OF THE DASA THERE ARE SUB DASAS OF THE PLANETS
(BUKTI DASA) WHICH LAST UP TO A FEW YEARS AND WITHIN THOSE (ANTAR
DASAS) WHICH CAN LAST FROM A FEW MONTHS UP TO A YEARS.SO THE
EFFECT WILL BE OF A MAIN INFLUENCE MODIFIED BY THE SUB PERIOD
INFLUENCES.

12TH HOUSE=HOUSE OF LOSS & EXPENDITURE/AFTERLIFE.SANCTURIES.
HOUSE ANALYSIS
TO ANALYSE THE STRENGTH/QUALITY OF ANY HOUSE YOU MUST LOOK AT 3 THINGS;
1/ THE HOUSE LORD POSITION
2/PLANETS IN THE HOUSE OR ASPECTING THE HOUSE( OR HOUSE LORD)
3/ THE PLACEMENT OF THE KARAKA(PLANET WHO REPRESENT EACH OF THE 12 HOUSES E.G. 7TH HOUSE =VENUS) PLANET OF THE HOUSE.
REMEMBER THE PLACEMENT OF THE KARAKA IN THE HOUSE FOR WHICH IT IS KARAKA DENIES OR DELAYS THE THING IT PROMISES. SAT IN 8TH GIVES LONGEVITY; SAT IS KARAKA FOR 8TH HOUSE OF DEATH.SITUATED IN 8TH HOUSE DENIES THIS ;GIVES LONGEVITY.
THE 27 LUNAR MANSIONS (NAKSHATRAS)
THE ZODIAC IS SPLIT INTO 27 PARTS EACH PART HAS A NAME ASWINI,KRITTIKA ETC AND IS RULED BY RAHU/KETU OR ONE OF THE PLANETS. THE NAKSHATRA ARE CLASSIFIED INTO THREE TYPES;HUMAN,RAKSHASSA, GOD. THE NAKSHATRAS ARE USED AMONGST OTHER THINGS FOR ASSESSING RELATIONSHIP COMPARABILITY BETWEEN TWO CHARTS.
TIMING OF EVENTS
EVENTS PROMISED IN THE CHART BY POSITIONING OF PLANETS IN VARIOUS HOUSES OR YOGAS (PLANETARY UNIONS) ARE LIKELY TO MATERIALISE WHEN THE PLANETS INVOLVED START THEIR DASA PERIOD MAJOR/SECONDARY OR THIRD OR WHEN TRANSITS OF RELEVANT PLANETS OCCUR.
I.E. TO SEE WHEN ROMANCE/RELATIONSHIPS MAY START LOOK FOR THE DASA(1/2/3) PERIOD INVOLVING (A) THE LORD OF THE 7TH HOUSE (B) ANY PLANET IN THE 7TH HOUSE OR (C) ANY PLANET ASPECTING THE 7TH HOUSE OR ITS LORD.
