The Sun rules our physical health and vitality and determines our self of ego and self-

The essential principle of Sun is: The Sun functions at an Atmic level which is the seat
of primordial spirit. It stands for the soul, the immortal. Those who have maturity at this
level would be very significantly aware of their primeval nature, the source of his inner
energy & vitality & thereby they would have tremendous confidence and the feeling of
assuredness and as such they would find it very difficult to yield to anyone else. Such a
person would have a glow on the face, initiative in action & would be benign in
temperament when it comes to bestowing some favor to others. Suns exaltation
bestows the real grace. When Sun is strong by being in own sign/vargottama/in
exaltation, it is this characteristic that is displayed, the degree depending on the state of
the planet.
Special Notes
With the change in level of consciousness, an individuals perception & mode of
operation undergoes a drastic change. All differences would automatically disappear as
the level of consciousness soars high. One with low level of consciousness would get

jealousy, revenge etc. get dissolved.

Sun & Moon own only one house; hence when Lords of 2H/12H which are neutral,
their results would depend more on the house in which placed.
According to observations of Sri. Y. Krishna Rao, one will be endowed with extra
ordinary intellect if the Sun or the Moon is posited in a Navamsa ruled by Mercury
(Gemini and Virgo).
If Sun combines (not combust) with other planets, Sun confers fame & wealth
in its dasha while other planets give ordinary results.
Sun in different signs:
o If in Tau, enables the individual to obtain spiritual knowledge & impart the same
to others.
o If in Gem, the intellect of the person is greatly sharpened, & he attains
penetrative understanding of mathematical laws, or of complex economic
relationships. If Sun is along with Mer, makes the person learned, beautiful &
strong but fickle minded. (The fickle mindedness may occur when Mer is weak &
incapable of absorbing the radiance of Sun. Mer in Gem/Vir does not produce
fickle mindedness, though under certain conditions, it may make the person

headstrong & sometimes even impervious to thoughts & opinions of others.) He
may also become famous.
o If in Can, makes the person relinquish its basic idealism & gets immersed in
contemporary materialistic way of life.
o If in Leo, the individualism is greatly sharpened & he begins to have an
unconscious understanding of his latent powers & destiny though it may
sometimes express itself as egotism & arrogance.
o In Vir, it is fierce enough to burn the dross materialism, bring forth the latent
creativity, but also to make him a little sad, laden with innumerable personal &
social responsibilities. If Sun is along with Mer, makes the person learned,
beautiful & strong but fickle minded. (The fickle mindedness may occur when Mer
is weak & incapable of absorbing the radiance of Sun. Mer in Gem/Vir does not
produce fickle mindedness, though under certain conditions, it may make the
person headstrong & sometimes even impervious to thoughts & opinions of
others.) He may also become famous.
o In Libra, not good for material prosperity. The struggle of the inner spirit to
liberate itself from physical restrictions often depresses the person.

severe, quite unlike the relationship between Sun & Ven or Sat & Mars. Sat & Sun
are exactly opposite in nature. Both do not tolerate each other at all. Neither of them
allow the other to interfere in his reign. Sun when aspected or conjoined with Sat, will
become the greatest malefic & will damage the pertaining house (except perhaps
when one of them is in own house &/or strongly placed??). Similarly, if both asp each

Planet - MOON
Special Notes
jealousy, revenge etc get dissolved. Weak Jup, Sun & Moon cause low levels of
consciousness.
The Venus and Moon gain strength in the 4th house, perhaps for they represent
happiness and worldly attachments. They are the planets of desires.
Primary attributes
Watery, female, cold; best royal planet; while/fair in color (Gowra-Parasara);
The Sun is life and Moon the lifes force. It represents the gushing blood that causes
turbulence inside you and makes you lively - churning lifes force. It also represents the
mind. In a mans journey from birth to death it is the Moon (mind) which eclipses the Sun
(atma) and rules life. It is the mind heart combo (thinking and emotion) that dominates
with immortal atma taking the back seat.
Vaishyabusiness & commercial class;
Deitywater (Ambu-BPHS); Lord of Moola (organic matter such as vegetation); rule
rodents, reptiles, multi-legged creatures ex insects; governs vata & kapha; rules clothes
that are new; rules white colour; rules water; born back first; rules senses & emotions;
rules temptation; rules Varsha (20 July to 19 Sept);
Maturation age: 24; personified age: old person of 70; age duration: 0 to 4; indicates
short person;
Known for weak & wobbly promises; is a domestic planet (interest in home life) as it
rules 4H of natural zodiac.
Moon, as the fastest moving 'planet' represents rapid change in astrology. It covers the
whole zodiac circle comprising of 12 rashis, 27 nakshatras and 108 charans in just 27
days.
From 9
Th
Thithi of Shukla paksha to 6
th
thithi of Krishna paksha it is considered a natural
benefic (some reckon from 8
th
to 8
th
) or three houses away from Sun;
o Another simple way to reckon this is: If Moon is within 72 Deg of Sun in any direction,
it is malefic. The lesser the distance, more malefic it is.
o Sun, Moon & Lagna are vital tripod around which life of a native moves on.
The essential principle of Moon is: it is linked with primordial matter & the cosmic
ideation and it operates on maya containing within it the unmanifested design of the soul.
Moon could be assumed as awareness, or consciousness which enables an individual to
comprehend the implications of various forces impinging on the individual and to assist
him in decision making process. It can be perceived in the great patience & serenity
often felt in the presence of such noble souls. The exaltation of Moon conveys this
principle.
The Moon rules our looks, emotions and our mental health (Moons condition in the
horoscope indicates overall emotional state). Well placed Moons tend to promote
happiness, social and physical attractiveness, and this can often lead to greater
accomplishments. A happy person will often integrate well with others and this can lead
to success in life. (Ex: Exalted Moon asp by Jup) By contrast, badly placed Moons will

often introduce a measure of anxiety, depression or hardship. (Ex: Deb Moon conjunct
with Rah)
An action that becomes karma of consequence could be in just a gesture, a spoken word
showing some amount of decisiveness or simply a routine act from motivational forces
that tune the psyche. The psyche is constructed both from the karmas of earlier births
which the soul records along with the actions of the current birth. Your conscience too
has developed from such karmas of yours. Be it a tendency to shower snide remarks,
self-praise, ridicule or to criticize others.in fact, for every idea that comes to your mind
and for every action, there is a reason and logic that lurks behind. The samskaras
(psyhco mental tendencies) imbibed from actions (karmas) of past and current births get
built in your psyche. How much of tamasic, rajasik or satwik elements (gunas) are there
in your psyche and your conscience can be assessed from an analysis of the Moon.
Tamasic (laziness, irresponsibility, cheating maliciousness), Rajasik are the undecided
qualities between Tamasic and Satwik. Satwik Guna or innate quality would mean
fearlessness, pure heartedness, charity, self-restraint, austerity, non-violence,
truthfulness, modesty and the like. A domination of Satwik planets in the trinity of 1-5-9
houses and Moon well-disposed, therefore makes you a Satwik, concentration
of Rajasik makes you a Rajasik and so forth.

Result related Moons features
Moon rules the manas, that is flexible, changeable & full of desires, and does not know
the boundaries of prarabdha. Hence is karaka for kriyaman karma.
An afflicted Moon could mean faster changing moods and instability and an exalted
Moon or unafflicted Moon, some amount of stability, determination and an appreciation
of the beauty of life. Irrespective of its positioning, it is difficult to control it. Moon exalts in
the fixed sign of Taurus and is said to be weaker in its own sign Cancer, for Cancer is a
moveable sign. Moon, when weak in a horoscope, can be strengthened by the chanting
of proper mantras.
Moon abducted the wife of the Devguru Brihaspathi (Jupiter). Her name was Tara. This
deed was perpetrated by the Moon on a Chaturthi day (4th thithi) of Bhadra month on
the shukla paksha. This is chaturth ka chaand which is to be avoided for acts of
importance. The legend, for the generations to come, says that on this day Moon must
not be looked at. Looking at the Moon on this day is likely to induce improper thoughts
and cause the mind to get into a fallen state. The legend very pithily and correctly points
out that in a fallen state the mind is capable of committing misdeeds.
For any chart, if Moon is Kendra Lord it should be analysed carefully.
Moon with 4 bindus is said to give average results, more towards beneficial results. But if
it has 5-8 bindus it confers wealth, status, prosperity, happy attitude, great influence in

society, romantic & kind disposition with good fortune & long life to mother. If it has 1-3
bindus, person concerned has dark & dull mind, suffers from neurocism, melancholia
and pessimistic mind. Mother of the person will also suffer accordingly. Moon in Kendra
associated with 6-8 bindus makes a person very intelligent, rich & prosperous.
A strong Moon with many bindus is an asset for poets, writers, artists, and musicians.
The results will vary in case Moon is in own rashi, exalted, deb, in inimical sign etc.
Ceremonies like tonsure, betrothal etc should be done when Moon is passing through a
sign having maximum bindus.
Ascertain the sign in which Moon has maximum bindus. People who have their Lagna or
Chandra Lagna in these signs will be more helpful to the native. Hence it is better to
avoid people who are born under your weak signs.
Results of Moons transit over weak bindus: fear, troubles of all sorts, loss of wealth
& health, disturbance of peace of mind, domestic unhappiness, laziness & jealousy;
diseases of Moonlungs, asthma, cholera, diarrhoea, lunacy, digestive disorders,
jaundice, impurity of blood etc.
Find out the nakshatra in which 8L from Moon is located. The transit of Moon over this
nakshatra is not good for mental/physical health.
How to judge whether the psyche is blessed with more freedom or less? Or whether our
thoughts surge towards being positive, negative, constructive, destructive, creative,
aesthetic, morose, lethal or mostly happy? This and much more can be traced to the

As the planet of action and athletes, a person's Mars will show how much initiative they
have to make changes in their life. A strong Mars will show a lot of get up and go and an
ability to outlast competitors. An afflicted Mars may show a person who fights too much
or becomes subject to punishment.
Having governance over energy source that provides the momentum, Mars impels you to
act negatively when it has to punish you for an evil karma and positively for a bravery
award lying stored in your destiny.
In good position Mars has been found making one competent as a protector and provider
of justice (committed armymen or policeman) and when ill-placed it is found driving one
to crimes.
Mars streamlines & channels energy optimally when it has a good placement in a
horoscope. Behaves erratically & imbalances when ill placed. Sometimes perhaps to
fulfil its task to change destinies, it remains in one zodiac sign for months together.
Mars makes you move. It connects. Based on the guna, it impels you to do your karma.
Mars seduces. It fires passions & emotions.
Physics, maths, cold logic come under the fold of Mars.
Mars governs the first house of birth and 8H of death in natural zodiac.
According to astrological principles that interpret planetary war between planets, Mars is
always the winner.

The essential principle of Mars is: it is connected with life principle, prana, which
vibrates through the pranamaya kosha and energises the individual & enables him to
function energetically in the concrete world of manifestation. It represents the heat which

enables all forms of life to grow. Whatever is within it, is brought without under its
impulse. The wellbeing of the individual and the fulfilment of his mission in life depends
on the evolution & maturity of the life principle vibrating through Mars. The person will
display doggedness in achieving his objectives in life, inspite of obstacles/personal
defects. Exalted Mars brings forth this quality.

inner organs are the likely complaints. Runs a great risk of wounds in quarrels.

When Mars is "afflicted" or has many conflicts in a birth chart, it can lead to repressing
the vital fire within. But not to be denied, a stifled Mars will eventually erupt, and emerge
through temper tantrums or just a low grade, but constant irritability. All Mars asks is to
be channelled and given an outlet. When your own Mars nature is understood, it's easier
to master. It guides you toward making the most of your potential through the use of your
own natural assertiveness.

Influence of Mars is prominent for home & property. Where Mars & Jup jointly influence
the 4H, a home ownership is a certainty.
If in any Ascendant, Mars is placed in Gemini, Libra or Aquarius sign, then one of the
houses owned by Mars is damaged (even if it aspects its own sign as when it is in Libra),
and it is for the astrologer to check which house has been damaged. Note: One should
interpret the word damaged in an astrological sense as not giving appropriate full
results.
Mars with 0-3 bindus in AV is considered weak & leads to quarrels, pessimism, loss of
status & wealth. Mars with 4 bindus give average results. With 5-8 bindus it gives, high
status, lands & property, general prosperity, ability for leadership, & holding a
commanding position in society, having initiative, dash, drive, courage & brave mind.
These results are augmented if Mars is exalted, in own sign, placed in Kendra/Kona. An
exalted mars or placed in own sign in 1H, 4H, 9H, 10H with 7/8 bindus is capable of
bestowing great riches, prosperity & high rank.
The best time to buy land, property is when Mars is transiting in sign having maximum
number of bindus in its own nakshatra.
Mars in Lagna with 8 bindus, one becomes a big landlord.
When Mars transits a sign in which it has 8 or maximum bindus, native gains land,
wealth, gold & the like. He performs auspicious functions.

millionaire.

enjoyments etc.
Bad transit with weak bindusquarrels, exchange of hot words, loss of wealth/position
(4H), misunderstanding with wife; diseases of Marsulcers, heart trouble, BP, bilious
fever, impurity of blood.
In cases of self-inflicted wounds, road rage, accidents, sudden & unexpected tragic
events, the role of Mars has been found prominent. Mars also governs moments of
madness, revenge, flare-ups.
Transiting Sat, Rahu & Mars have a role to play at the time of death also. Transiting
Mars has a role to play in all vital changes. Without the energy of Mars changes are of
little consequence.

of that constellation is a planet; the dasha of that planet will be adverse.)
Retro Mars
Mars retrogrades once in two years. Retrograde Mars in natal chart can bring out power
issues, how to deal with conflict and aggression and anger. As Mars has male energy, its
retrogression can create problems with how you deal with maleness within. It is often seen in
charts of females who have problems with their sexuality- they can be overtly aggressive or
completely suppress their masculine side whereby creating imbalance in personality. Men
have to watch they do not become too aggressive and angry. As Mars is about power, its
retrogressions give a lot of power yet the individual does not understand their own power
and how to use it properly. This can lead to its misuse. Mars rules Agni (fire) element so its
retrogression can create too much fire or complete exhaustion. They have to watch their
metabolism. It can get speeded up or be totally dull. The chakra is Manipura, which deal with
balance, vision and energy. Retrograde Mars will block the way this chakra works and create
problems on a subtle level. Mars deals with logic and here the logic can get skewered or
twisted. It can also make a person whose logic is unconventional but at the same time very
powerful and they can reach places where others cannot as they have the ability to see
things from backward to forward.

Passionate in love, sensual, strong sex drive, warm & affectionate, impatient, raises
passions to a high & tempestuous pitch; combination often seen in dancers; it also
indicates addiction of some sort, possibly related to houses owned by Mars/Ven; if
afflictedbrings bad reputation;
There will be a steadying effect on this combination (conjunction or opposition) if
Jups benefic aspect exists; or in the alternative, this combination should occur in the
constellation of Jup, Mer or even Ven; Jup & Mer being more preferable.
Ven-Mars disposition is an important factor for physical attraction. But in the absence
of Jups or even Sats benign influence, real compatibility may be lacking.
(BVR) When Ven & Mars are involved in adverse aspects, difficulty through excesses
& trouble through marriage follow as a matter of consequence. Ven in a good sign or
constellation can temper the roughness of Mars, but if Rahu is also involved, it
makes one lascivious, lewd & wicked.
(BVR) It is always better to look for trinal or quadrangular dispositions of Mars & Ven
from the Lagna or Moon, no matter even if they conjoin provided they are in different
constellations. A similar disposition in partners horoscope is desirable though not
essential.
(BVR) In any horoscope (boy/girl) Ketu-Ven-Mars association or even mutual aspect
is not desirable unless the constellation involved belongs to Jup or Mer or even
benefic Moon, though the last situation might render the thinking highly sensual.
Ketu-Ven-Mars (or Sat) denotes danger of scandal in marriage. But if 10H is well
disposed, the affliction becomes somewhat tempered.
Children born with Mars-Ven conjunction should be brought up in a disciplined
manner and should be made to avoid dissipating habits of immediate pleasure. The
adverse effects of conjunction could be made to express through constructive
channels if Jup aspects the combination or is in a quadrant therefrom.
Mars in the rashi of Venus in navamsha aspected by Jupiter is a promise of musical
abilities.
Mars in the navamsha of Venus aspected by Saturn gives love for the classical &
distinction in life.

The essential principle of Mer is: intellect enabling the individual to articulate & express
his feelings and experiences. It is the energy which enables pliability (which includes
concealment of the feelings/emotions), articulation (giving words to thoughts & ideas),
interpretation & comprehension. Anything coming in contact with Mercurial intelligence is
able to project it to the external world with its own imprint. Even if in some cases the
person is unable to use polished language/written words, the basic understanding of life
will be superbly under control. Exaltation of Mer leads to doing this superbly/brilliantly.
Mer is a complicated planet; it is very adaptable by nature depending on its relation with
benefics/malefics; gets afflicted easily; its study & accurate judgment of its results are
tough; it gets heavily influenced by the planets who are associated with it either by
conjunction or opposition, aspect or by mutual exchange of signs; waning Moon together
with Merboth are malefics;
Mers malefic nature is caused by conjunction only (unlike natural malefics). Hence such
Mer should be treated as non-benefic & not as malefic; therefore aspect of a badly
associated Mer will bring neither benefic nor malefic effects;
It has specific role over certain events of life which are mostly kept secret;
Mer mostly exhibits its results in the 32
nd
year;
Mer is considered as the prince & hence is allotted signs next to Sun & Moon. He has to
be groomed to take over!!
Both signs of Mer are human signs. A person whose Lag or Moon is in the sign of Mer
can read another person better.
The fastest planet in the solar system rules intelligence and our ability to communicate.
Strong Mercury gives high intelligence and great dexterity (since Mercury rules the
hands as well) and an aptitude for speaking, writing, or teaching. Afflicted Mercury would
hamper an individual's ability in these areas such that afflicted Mercury could indicate
slower mental development or a harsh speaking style.

Is Gyan of Jupiter, different from Information Processing of Mercury? It is often
seen in horoscopes that when Mercury is active, one quickly acquires education,
information, awareness and logic. It forges you ahead rapidly, at least superficially. But,
when Jupiter gets active, knowledge that matters is gained and higher spiritual goals are
reached. Jupiter is also the significator of wisdom. A Jupiter-Mercury combination helps
you achieve what matters most in life.

Determining malefic/benefic nature of Mercury
By the rules mentioned in conjunction heading (in section Planets-attributes &
behavior), whenever Mercury is approaching (within 12 degrees) any one of five
grahas - except Moon - either in direct or reverse, then the nature of Mercury will assume
the character of that planet which is in close proximity to it.
If Mercury participates in Graha Yuddha by staying behind by less than 1 degree
longitude (irrespective of latitude), then also it assumes the nature of the planet with
which it is at war.
If Mercury participates in Graha Yuddha by staying ahead by less than 1 degree
longitude (irrespective of latitude), then its nature will not assume that of the planet which
is behind it but only that which is ahead of it and is within 12 degrees.
Rule 2 and 3 will apply when Mercury is in direct motion, and the contrary is true if it is in
retrograde motion.
Irrespective of Combustion, Mercury's nature should be determined in accordance with
the rules of conjunction with Sun. This implies, Mercury can be simultaneously combust
and benefic or combust and malefic.
As Moon is a malefic whenever she is + or - 90 degrees from Sun, and in such case,
whenever Moon is behind Mercury (who is either direct or reverse) and no planets in
between them, there will be a union of Moon with Mercury. As such, Mercury will be a
malefic. If Moon crosses over Mercury by even a fraction of a second there may be a
samagama but not union, therefore in such case, rules 1 to 5 will apply to determine the
nature of Mercury.
If all the above rules do not apply, then Mercury should be treated as isolated one, which
according to the Universal Context will be a benefic

makes false promises. Influence of Jup gives ennobling & spiritual talks, Venus artistic &
idealistic, Mer witty & humorous, Moon romantic & delightful, sat falsehood & obscure
talk and Sun could give boastful or enlightened depending upon its placement in
horoscope. Mars is basically full of braggadocio & provocative.

In signs/bhavas
o Mer in Gem/Lib/Aqu
Behaves like a boy; provides a great desire of learning throughout life, unrepressable enthu,
love & curiosity towards knowledge of different subjects & their various branches; powerful
inclination to understand the logic & complications; easily provoked to anger & passion, and
talk too much; they try to convince others by their own views and with logic;
o Mer in Ari/Leo/Sag
Behaves like a youth; most knowledgeable persons; have clear & wide understanding of
many subjects; mostly experts but also very proud of their knowledge; usually do not
compromise with circumstances; aggressive, can easily get involved in quarrels & create a
dispute, as they cannot tolerate opposition or even their criticism; very passionate;
o Mer in Tau/Vir/Cap


Behaves like a mature person; is a good disposition of Mer as it provides balanced thoughts
& firm ideas; thoughts are not changeable and there is no vacillation of ideas; advises
appropriately & correctly; not proud of knowledge as such never misuses intelligence;
o Mer in Can/Sco/Pis
Not a good disposition in general; mostly misuse their brain power; do not perform their
duties in righteous manner; have a tendency to criticize & try to find fault with others and are
mostly experts in that; use their intelligence for adverse causes;
Retro Mer
Mercury retrograde promotes either a person talking too much or not at all. Mercury is the
karaka of speech and intellect. Their thinking can also be different. They may be very bright
thinkers, but not know how to express that or drive others crazy with their ideas, thinking
they are the only ones who are the intelligent ones. Mercurys combustion can create more
problems. Mercury travels close to the Sun and it is most likely to be combust. Combust and
retrograde can make a person very prone to burn out and also unsure of how to deal with
their Mercury. Not an easy situation to be in. Mercury rules the prithvi (earth) bhuta. Prithvi
deals with the practical and the stable. Mercury retrograde can make someone impractical
and they are more likely to make their position unstable than those whose Mercury is direct.

Guru within who must guide; needs no protection except Gods; an idealist with inner
strength;
Represents jeeva (life force, living beings); knowledge & happiness; rule two legged
creatures;
Jupiter ,Mercury and Ketu are described as jeeva - the living things. Jupiter has hold
over the past, present and future lives also.
Divine planet of providence that helps in forming Rajayogas (position+power),
Dhanayogas (money + power) & Gyan yogas (knowledge + logic) all in powerful manner;
The position of Jup in a horoscope indicates Gods grace & measure of help a native can
evoke from Him.
Known as the Great Benefic, Jupiter represents wisdom, religion, expansion in general,
and wealth. It is the significator of history. The preserver of heritage and culture.
Individuals with strong Jupiter will tend to adhere to organized religions, usually the same
ones as their parents. Strong Jupiterians also tend to be well-educated people who are
well-to-do. Afflicted Jupiter may not enjoy material prosperity, or follow foreign religious
traditions, if any at all.
The essential principle of Jup is: it derives its relationship with akasha tatwa. The
existence of every manifested entity depends upon the wisdom contained within this
planet. It provides the fuel for the Martian fire so that the growth and expansion of the
manifesting entity is made possible. It enables the individual to reach near his goal, the
impetus for which has been given by the other principles of life. They will engage
themselves in activities which fulfil their lifes mission & enlarge their personality. Exalted
Jup heightens these.
Special Notes
jealousy, revenge etc get dissolved. Weak Jup, Sun & Moon cause low levels of
consciousness.


Janmana jayete Shudrah sanchaarad dwija uchchayate: This shloka from Manusmriti
states that everyone is born a shudra at birth. His rebirth and elevation in life is in
accordance with his samskaras (tendencies from the past life). Jupiter and Mercury gain
strength in the first house for knowledge (Jupiter) and the skills to acquire it (Mercury)
help in our upliftment. With strength in the first house they can best utilize and lift the
inherent samskaras.
Logically, a benefic Jupiter would also mean that you have been granted an opportunity
to rectify your deeds, of earlier births and of this one as well. The dasha of Jupiter is
considered the most appropriate for remedial measures. It takes you closest to the
purpose of life with least deviations since it a planet that represents goodness,
righteousness, virtue, religion and spirituality; and lords the 9th house of fortune and
religion and the 12th house of moksha (salvation) of the natural zodiac.
Jupiter, like all planets changes with its lordship and avastha. It has also to perform the
role assigned to it by the creator of bringing about major changes in life along with
Saturn (Kaal) and for delivering the karmaphala. One of the guiding mantras for
successful predictions given by our guru Mr. K.N. Rao is nothing of importance has ever
happened or will ever happen without the joint blessings of Saturn and Jupiter.

Faith, devotion, religiousness, asceticism, penance, satwa guna, forgiving nature,
generous, candid, high reasoning, good powers of proper judgement; humanitarian &

Manliness, corpulence, laziness;
reached. Jupiter is also the significator of wisdom. A Jupiter-Mercury combination helps
you achieve what matters most in life.
Powered by Jupiter, Interpretations get deeper: Since the text of the shastras
remains unaltered, the spiritual level of a Gyani, Pandit, Rishi or Muni is judged from how
he interprets it. Interpretations of the classical text are Gyan (Jupiter) and mere
translation is skill (Mercury). The Mercury in comparison with Jupiter operates at the
superficial level; though it represents the intellect (faculty of the mind that reasons
logically) Jupiter has depth.
If Jup is the strongest planet, the temperament is both phlegmatic ( sluggish, cool) &
sanguine (optimistic); one may suffer from excessive indulgence in eating & drinking.

Result related
Vargottama Jup: intelligent, well developed physique, searching for truth, capacity to
understand others views, proud;
Jup should not be in contact with evil lords; should not be very weak even if it is a
functional malefic: for Cap (3,12) or Tau (8,11), Lib (3,6);
A good, well placed Jup without any aspect or conjunction gives stable idealism which is
not affected even if enemies/difficulties increase; badly aspected Jup converts concealed
lack of idealism into hypocrisy; Jup, (i) if not retro & asp by a malefic (ii) if weak (iii) if ill-
placed, must diminish or even mar ones idealism. Jup being subjected to 6Ls aspect is
to be feared & is a grisly combination.
Jup in Kendra is considered the best position. When beneficially strong, it is said that all
the planets put together cannot harm the native who has Jup posited in Kendra.
The planets that Jupiter aspects gives expansion and wealth.
Jup with 0-3 bindus is considered weak, with 4 average & with 5-8 strong.
Jup in a Kendra/Kona is a great benefactor, particularly so if it is exalted, in own sign, not
deb, not combust, not in enemy sign and associated with 6 to 8 binduswould give a
person high position, status or prosperity. Same would be the result if placed elsewhere
exalted etc & endowed with 6 to 8 bindus. With 5 bindus results would be same though
to a lesser degree. If in addition Jup gets lordship of 9H/10H, the rise will indeed be very
high.
Jup aspected by 10L leads one to acts of piety. If the 7L, 5L, 9L, 10L & Jup combine in a
watery sign, the native has dips in scared rivers like Ganges in Jupiter dasha.
Even though Jup be in 6, 8, 12, it would give excellent results if it is in own sign etc. & is
associated with 6 to 8 bindus.
If dispositor of Jup is exalted, in own sign, free from combustion and is placed in
Kendra/Kona and has 4 or more bindus it gives plenty of riches & wealth. In case the
dispositor is in 6
th
or 8
th
from Jup & has 3 or less bindus, it makes one poor.
Father attains eminent position through son if LL is in 2 or 9 and Jup is in Kendra with 5
or more bindus.
A worthy son & beacon to family is born if dispositor of 5L is associated with 5 or more
bindus and has aspect, association etc. of Jup. In contrast if 5L is afflicted and Jup with
1-3 bindus is in paap kartari yoga, a sinful son is born.
If dispositor of 5L is associated with Jup having 4 or more bindus, a worthy son is born.
Good transit with strong binduswealth, prosperity, children, royal favour, association
with noble persons, domestic happiness, knowledge, lands, houses, marriage,
promotion.
Bad transit with weak bindusloss of wealth, disgrace, expenditure, loss of position,
change of place, domestic unhappiness, death, imprisonment, disease, accidents (8H),
separation; diseasesliver, cancer, jaundice, diabetes.
The aspect of Jup on Sun or Moon or Lag &/or LL will always make the individual enjoy
a kind of respectability for which there may not be enough justification (it does not imply


that in all cases the laudation is unfounded). What is emphasised is that their popularity
with whatever personality defects will be extraordinary.
Jup in Kendra or kona house in Pushkara Navamsa, makes the native very
lucky/wealthy. But if the sign of pushkara Navamsa falls in rashi chart in 6H/8H/12H, the
native also is emaciated & grieves on account of bereavement of a son;
Examples: Thula Lag, Jup in 10H in Kanya Nav (6-40 to 10-00); the sign Kanya is 12H;
hence will be wealthy & will have the stated bad results also;
Thula Lag, Jup in 9H in Mithuna in Vrishabha nav, whch becomes ashtamamsa or the
sign is in 8H;
Thula Lag, Jup in Lag in Meena Nav, which will be 6H;
If the above referred Jup is placed in (i) Mesha/Simha/Dhanus triad or (ii)
Vrishabha/Kanya/Makara or (iii) Mithuna/Tula/Kumbha or (iv) Kataka/Vrishchika/Meena,
it starts giving results of yoga from 21
st
, 14
th
or 24th or 31
st

year of life respectively;
Jup represents tradition, which includes respect for all gurus including mother, father,
and mantra guru & shikshakas;
Jup is Jeeva and whenever there is influence of technical planets on it (Mars, Sat,
Rahu, Ketu), it provides inclination to study jeeva-vigyanbiology, biotech etc. But Jup
should have some connection to education giving houses.
(Observation published in SA: to be kept note of but study in light of other afflictions to
the concerned house & Jup, particularly double affliction by Mars & Sat) If Jupiter is
placed in Dual Signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius or Pisces) it would spoil/destroy/delay
one of the results of the 7th house from it.
Own features
Is not afflicted in Taurus (Vrishabha);
Jup represents middle aged man & hence strong in middle degrees; Raja Graha;
In Kumbha it is considered as being equivalent to being exalted.
Here Jup can be in nakshatra of Mars or his own or Rahus. In Rahus nakshatra it
normally gives Guru Chandala yoga, but it does not apply to Kumbha Rasi as the Rasi
itself is considered pious (?)
If Jupiter is placed in the kendra or trikona, the person will be intelligent.
JUPS ASPECT IS ALWAYS MORE BEENFICIAL THAN ITS PRESENCE IN A HOUSE;
(Jup has to protect learning & children and hence has 5
th
aspect and to protect father &
religion has the 9
th
aspect); there appears to be a statement that Jup is the destroyer of
the house occupied by him (Sthana haani karo jeeva)?
Jups aspect on dasha Lords in natal chart or during transit favours recovery from illness.
However its presence in a house promotes benefic influence in that house and reduces
the faults associated therewith;
Even when debilitated, it remains benefic by nature and his aspect will be good though
weak.
Jup becomes malefic as Lord of 3H, 6H or 8H. But his power to confer yoga will
not be obstructed even if he owns 8H. In his dasha, he will confer fame, name &
wealth but on account of stigma due to this ownership he may give rise to malefic
results as sub-lord in his own dasha & that of other planets. (BR)
Right & strong influence of Jup in a horoscope gives a person high spirituality, ex: Jup in
9H asp Lagna;
Any horoscope in which Jup influences/controls karma, there would be a deeply
ingrained samskara of nobility which prevents indulgence in bad temptations;


If Jup owns a kona and is placed in a Kendra, it is highly beneficial;
When it owns a Kendra it suffers from kendradhipathi dosha unless it is placed in its own
sign-- for Gem, Vir in Sag, Pis. If it owns a Kendra but is not placed in a Kendra , the
person will experience setbacks in his major aspects of life as evident by physical
troubles ( If it owns Lag), emotional & family setbacks (if it owns 4H), difficulties in marital
life (if it owns 7H) or difficulties in professional life (10H ownership). These frustrations
may not make the individual reactionary but would turn him towards spiritualism &
religious way of life.
Jup, though natural benefic, becomes evil for almost all Lagnas due to ownership.
Wholly evil for Tau, Lib or Cap Lag.
For Ari/Can/Leo/Sco/Aqumixed.
Jup is best for Ari, even if deb, as he becomes Lord of 9H & 12H.

Jupeterian is more attached to his children than to wife;
A retro planet in 4
th
from Jup hinders happiness from progeny;
Jup is strong in Sag/Pis/Sco for the purpose of conserving vital energy & conferring long
life; Jup in Sco at the same time can pervert ones character, unless it is 9H/10H;
Jup in a quadrant in Can/Sag/Pis constitutes Hamsa Yoga giving the native sterling
qualities, noble behavior, and subtle thinking and makes him a king or king-like person;
Aspect of Jup on Lag/LL grants longevity; if 8
th
from Moongood for longevity;
aspect on 6L/8L mitigates violence;
Jup gives good results in 2, 5, 7, 9 or 11
th
from Moon. When it transits over the natal
position of Ven, Mars, Ket, own position or a trine, it signifies wedding bells & general
happiness.
If Jup asp 12H in a chart, during its MD/AD, there may be occasions to meet spiritual
persons.
(Dhruva Nadi) When Jup transits over natal Ven or its trine positions, natives marriage
takes place;
(Dhruva Nadi) When Jup transits over natal Jup or its trine positions, birth of a child is
expected;
Note: These DN results of transit are effective during transit thro full navamasa occupied
by the planet (100 minutes on either side of the planet) are conducive for the result.

Retro Jupiter
Retrograde Jupiter which according to a principle of Parashari can reverse its promised
results. This principle should not be overlooked in crucial predictions.(KN Rao)

Jupiter is the guru or the teacher. Jupiter retrograde usually never knows when to stop
giving advice. They can be very knowledgeable yet they do not know how to use this
knowledge in the right way. They can also mistrust their own wisdom. On a positive level
they can look at issues with a very different viewpoint. They will also give advice that is
unconventional and different. As Jupiter is the karaka of children, it can show children who
are different. The classics say that if Jupiter is retrograde, it will definitely give children
despite what else is promised otherwise in the chart. This aspect does not always pan out
but can be researched further. Jupiter as a karaka of husbands in a female chart will give a
husband who is different. On an extreme negative level, they can bring twisted thinking into


the relationship. Jupiter rules the Aakash element. Aakash deals with the knowledge,
wisdom, our ability to purify, to repel the negative forces. Jupiter being retrograde weakens
the ability to use this tattva. Vishuddhi chakra will become blocked and this make us feel
unprotected and make some wrong choices. Vishuddhi also purifies the poisons; here the
poisons of the mind do not always get the right filter. So we do not know how to stop them
from polluting our life.
Retro Jup is also considered to lose its beneficence.

When all is lost, the unconquerable knowledge remains. For us to witness, only Gyan
(knowledge) has survived from ancient time, in form of sutras. It takes brilliant minds,
perhaps with a Jupiter-Mercury, strategically placed in a horoscope to unravel the
layers of meaning from our deeply profound legends. They operate allegorically at
different levels. They have meanings embedded in layers. A story like that of Ramayana
or Mahabharata from our Puranas was devised for common folk. Beneath the surface,
however, there are messages of incredible complexity for the spiritually evolved.

Jup-Sat combination
Artistic tendency, religiously/philosophically inclined (Mars joining it gives to it
aggressive, even unsavory expression), obesity; Jups non-mutual asp on Satgood for
practical politics & mundane prosperity; if both are strong (individually or together) & well
aspected, uplift one to financial heights;
Jup stands for open actions while sat acts for low & hidden things. Jup represents
prosperity, wealth, children etc. Sat indicates adversities, poverty, sadness, depression
etc. Mixed results should be expected when both these conjoin. Some books maintain
that the combination is bad and others have described it as good!!
When Jup and Sat reckoned from Lag or Moon are in kendras/trines or in 11
th
, the effect
is beneficial. It bestows strength of character & those qualities which make for eventual
success and spirituality. Their achievements will be substantial & solid. If they are
mutually in 6/8 or 2/12 or in evil houses from Lag/Moon, one may have sudden fall &
face disaster.
If placed together
o They soak each others results. That is Sat will be improved while Jup will be
spoiled.
o This is not a good combination for high education. One with this combination in
Lag or other houses may not study in an excellent way as long as other favorable
combinations are not present.
o Child brings a bad name to the family. The reputation of the family gets damaged.
There may be no happiness from children. Most of the time they are not placed
very high.
o Do not have much wealth as karaka for money is spoiled. Could lead to hand to
mouth existence.
o If Jup & Sat are retro, the results will not be adverse, i.e the combination will not
produce much of inauspicious results. It will promote Jups influence.
o If the combination occurs in Sats sign or in Lib, evils of Sat are automatically
removed.
o Combination is not so bad in fiery signs as it is in earthy signs. However there are
so many factors to be considered.
If in oppositionthey exchange their characters or exchange their roles. If any of the
two falls in its own sign, the stronger results of that planet will be experienced & the
results of other planet will be feeble i.e effects of exchange may not be seen prominently.
o If in Lag & 7H, they do exchange their qualities but if any of them occupies own
sign, the results of the other will be absorbed to a great extent. Generally such


persons are not very happy & successful. Many downs in life. W r t physical
characteristics, Sat & Jup exchange their properties. Will give only one wife.
(Planet in Lag will give results as if in 7H & the one in 7H as if in Lag)

If in conj / mutual asp, Sats dasha will be fortunate, but Jups dasha will be ordinary.
(BR); However if Jup becomes yogakaraka, is exalted, in Lag, in 2H/10H/11H/9H, it will
also give good results.
Any conjunction between Saturn/Mars with Jupiter or aspect on Jup will indicate the
curse of a Brahmin in a chart.

luxurious vehicles (chauffer driven), gain of blue colored dresses & vehicles, travel to
west & meeting with high authorities, several voyages.
(GCS) Note: Generally good results are seen for Gem Lag where Sat as 9L gets
potency to deliver good results; further, benefic results appear in the latter half of
dasha, as Sat also owns the 8H; in other Lagnas, one of these planets will have
malefic potency & hence results may be inauspicious, such as disturbed mind,
extravagant expenditure by son, loss or reverses in ventures, increase in liquor
consumption & company of prostitues, fear psychosis, eye disease, distress of son
etc have been noted by other famous astrologers of ancient times.

Jup conj with Rahu and also afflicted by another malefic, say Sat/Mars, gives only
daughters or more daughters than sons. Ascertain after examining the position of Jup
from Lag & its strength. Even if sons are born, they may not turn out to be ideal sons.
(Could happen even if Jup is in RK axis & afflictedafflicted Jup can prevent birth of
sons)
Generally Jup in RK axis, and afflicted can give daughters if strong in graha bala. The
Saptamsha should also be checked for confirming results. Normally, under such
conditions, if more daughters are born, there is less mishap to children; if sons are born
one way or the orther, it proves unfortunate. But if a son is born late or if only one son is
born, it proves quite good; ones luck with ones children may not be good. When Jup is
under RK axis, some curse of some life seems to haunt the person all his life. One
should also check the strength of 5H/5L. yet where Jup & Rahu are seen together, one
should proceed carefully.

It also indicates a personality which is decisive, executive & humane (say Jup in the
constellation of Ket & Ket in that of Jup etc.)
Jup, Ketu and 10Ls association, with Jup asp 2H/10H is very good for astrological

As everyone knows, Venus is the planet of love. It also represents women in general,
beauty, art, socializing and pleasures of all kinds. A strong Venus will promote a good
marriage, contentedness, and appreciation of the arts. A weak or afflicted Venus will
tend to create disharmony in relationships or an inability to relate to others.
The essential principle of Ven is: vehicle of desires & passions; it enables creative
impulses to traverse from centre to the circumference. It is the energy passing through
Mer in order to be expressed and given concrete shape in the material world. It is
perceived as sensitivity, creativity and perception of divine purpose in every form of
manifestation. One receives intuitional flashes through Venusian radiation and this
energy radiation through Ven leads to unity, harmony & the sense of fulfilment (in spite of
various blows to life). Exaltation of Ven heightens these.

know how to express our love well. Venus also deals with femininity and women with Venus
retrograde do not always understand how to be truly feminine. They can become overtly
masculine or forget to dress feminine and be feminine. We see this often in male
homosexual charts as they want something different from their relationships and their
concept of the women in their life is different. Venus rules Apas, the water element. The
human body is composed of over 85% water. Water deals with emotions, taste, happiness
and peace. Retrograde Venus can create problems with all these.
Ven dasha
With the onset of Ven dasha a person starts to appreciate the beauty in nature, art & people
around. It can bring forth the best in us, for it comes after the 7 year dasha of moksha karaka
Ketu, a blissful refined spiritual life, a developed sense to appreciate arts & beauty and a
host of other refinements is what can be expected from Ven dasha.

Mer make up the combination, the latter produces mixed results.
Dasha results: general: the results are seen primarily from the condition of both
planets. If they are blemishless, one can generally expect good results. If Jup is well
placed from Lagna or from Ven, there is rise in career, happiness, well being &
general prosperity. If Jup is ill placed, there are quarrels, difficulties, opposition, loss
of money.
Ven & Jup are enemies of each other but they promote spirituality. Ven-Jup period
can produce some family tragedy or separation. Ven-Jup dasha needs to be studied
mosr carefully for Tau & Lib Asc.

(Late KC Saxena) Venus in PoorvaBhadrapada gives the following results He is a
philosopher and poet. He is witty and may become known for his humorous writings.
From some Tamil ancient works on astrology: For PoorvaBhadrapada:
o Pada 1 - Aries Navamsa - it is taken like this - Venus-Saturn-Jupiter-Mars -
Venus is the planet we are considering; Saturn is the house lord in Rasi chart
where Venus is placed; Jupiter is the Nakshatra Lord and Mars is the
Navamsa Lord. Since none of them are enemies the results will be good.
Such a person will be learned, will be affectionate to his parents. He may be
engaged in research activities. He will be undertaking frequent travels to
distant and foreign places. He may even settle down in a foreign country.
o Pada 2 - Taurus Navamsa - Venus-Saturn-Jupiter-Venus - Best position for
Venus in Aquarius. He will be a poet or a singer and will be well versed in
different kinds of arts. He will be affected by skin diseases, dropsy or dental
problems.
o Pada 3 - Gemini Navamsa - Venus-Saturn-Jupiter-Mercury. Native may be a
social worker. He may be an architect or an interior decorator. He may also
do business in skins and hides or may be engaged in the processing of them.
o Pada -4 - Cancer Navamsa - In this case the Navamsa position is not good
for Venus. The combination is Venus-Jupiter-Jupiter-Moon. He will always be


thinking of his wife. He expects his wife to be well educated and should be
equal to him. He may be a doctor also.
Late K C Saksena says Ven-Sat conjunction may probably give an impression that it
only indicates a life of disappointment, frustration, responsibilities and sacrifice. In
fact this is not true and in a number of horoscopes of most successful natives this
conjunction raises the native to a high position provided he is under one of the six
signs Taurus, Libra, Gemini, Virgo, Capricorn or Aquarius (basically signs of Venus,
Mer and Saturn).
Saturn signifies people from low income group who are especially doing manual work like
labourers, maids. At the same time Saturn signifies elderly people and most important if the
combination associates with a More Karmic house then woman/man from a very Dramatic
Past life. So Venus Saturn combo can indicate relations with maids, servants (see chart of
Arnold Schwarzeneger and his affair with the housekeeper) or people from low income
groups doing manual work, it can also indicate relations with elderly lot and at times if it
happens in the 6H, 8H, 12H it can indicate relations with someone from very dramatic past
lives where the karma is pending and might cause hurt.
If this Venus Saturn combo in the 6/8/12H or associated with their lords, gets the
association of a 3rd powerful planet then it gives result of a triangle love story.
Sometimes the combination is simple like Saturn Venus together in 12H aspected by
6L of pending karma Mars and sometimes you have to use it with intelligence like in
the case of Marilyn Monroe and see the triangles play out creatively and not just the
text book rule.
Ven-Saturn can show perversion in sexual activities. It can also show perversion or
heightened sex especially mental sexual thoughts for a Gemini Asc like that of
Arnold.
If this Venus Saturn combines in the 12H with aspect of Mars then ancient palm
leaves (nadi) says that this native will have curse of spouse from a previous life and
at the same time blessings of a Goddess3
Chandra Kala Nadi an ancient book quotes at several places another ancient book
titled Vriddha Parasaryam stating that this Venus Saturn combination will cause a
liking for saints. One will perform penance and will reach the heavens after
discarding his mortal coil. ref Chandra Kala Nadi (Deva Keralam), Page 220 Verse
4964.
Saturn Venus opposition or trines can create high sex and at times scandalous
affairs.
It has been found that at times even Saturns sextiles, 3rd aspect to Venus, can
create a form of sex scandal or a minor sex scandal depending on the strength of the
planets. Any form of Saturn Venus association can also give cheating issues,
especially if Rahu comes into play.
Another classic Saravali says Venus and Saturn together Marriage may be delayed
wife will be disobedient and uncontrollable Government officer or employee
favour from Government officer Artist finance related job trader in timber
Puthra Dosham (Bad Effects in area of Children) not affected by success or
adversity.
According to one old village astrologer from Maharashtra, India this can also be a
combination for man/woman allowing their spouses to have open marriage or allow
spouse to do it with others.
If a weak or afflicted or ill placed Saturn aspects or in association with an ill placed,
afflicted Venus, the native will taste the bitter fruits of kemudruma yoga (poverty
combination). We have seen a chart where both Venus Saturn affliction and
Kemudruma yoga is present and the native has poverty issues in life.
Venus Saturn combo definitely meets with some kind of misfortune in life.


This has also worked in few charts according to Brihat Jataka conjunction of Venus
and Saturn indicate that the native is Alpoechaksha (a man with small eyes)
Ven- Sat dasha results: will give good or bad results according to their overall
placement. The peculiarity of this dasha is that Ven-Sat behaves like Ven-Ven.
General results are success when least expected, sudden humiliation, tension,
troubles, transfers, climax or termination of career. Ven as 2L / 7L is bad for health &
wellbening. This surley depends on lordship & avastha of Ven. It is undoubtedly an
event full dasha.

(KN Rao) this period always needs a very cautious approach. This dasha can give
great rise or a terrible fall, setbacks, accidents or even death. Assessment should be
done very carefully keeping in mind the lordship of Ven, Rahus dispositor &
association, their placement from Lagna and each other in birth chart & relevant
divisional chart.

The planet of loss helps us to understand our limits and the things around us we cannot
change. Saturn rules discipline, hard work, responsibility, longevity, and loss. Strong
Saturns will be very committed people with a dedication to rules and traditions. Afflicted
Saturns may be obsessed with rules to the point of detriment, or may be irresponsible
and undisciplined.
The essential principle of Sat is: it has the gross physical body & the physical forms of
concretisation as its area of operation. It is the principle which ultimately dissolves
everything. Sat enables the ego to get a glimpse of its primordial nature. That glimpse of
reality is the spirit of disenchantment bestowed by Sat. It may make them understand
that there are certain transcendental forces which finally determine quality of life &
happiness of the person. For example, it may cause disenchantment with monetary
affluence & may make the person dedicate time to philanthropic activities. In its
exaltation, it helps this happen.
When Sat inflicts sorrow, sickness, deprivation or even death, the aim is to liberate the
soul from its physical weakness, as also from psychological attachments & decrepit
physical sheath. Sat always looks for producing inner wisdom & imparting secret
teachings provided the human beings are willing & prepared to receive them. The
material acquisitions must end in frustration, this is the spiritual lesson Sat imparts.
Aspect of Sat on Lag/LL can make the person tall.

Result related
Sat is a bitter enemy of the luminaries; it is considered the worst malefic just as Jup is
the best benefic.
Sat in exaltation/own sign/sign owned by Jup, will always give benefic results;
Helps in giving marriage if lord of 2
nd
or 7

Vargottama Sat: hindrance in physical development, longevity, careful (careless?), leads
life by controlling desires/exercises restraints, selfishness, irresponsible;
If vargottama in Kumbha sign (panchamamsa)-native will become a king (even if this
Detachment-giver Sat is best when alone; Sat associated with or aspected by planets is
bondage;
Sats 3
rd
aspect represents the efforts that have to be made to achieve what one desires
to achieve; the tenth aspect represents the deeds or karma; Sat in houses of Jup/Mer
are actually good according to Uttara Kalamrita; do not look upon Sat as a planet of
sorrow only;
Sats aspect/occupation is always bad/destructive, particularly the 3
rd
& 10
th

aspect, & is more powerful than its presence; Sat destroys the indications of the
bhava in which he is situated except the 8H. If in 2H, will never save enough
money in spite of big earnings. There are exceptions to this rule when Sat is a
Yogakaraka. When in 10H, he will not destroy the indications of 10H. On the
contrary gives fame, name & leadership skills. But gives the subject a sudden fall.
If Sat aspects 3H or 9H, they will gain strength.
Sat is empowered to cause maximum trouble when retrograde (depending on horoscopic
disposition).
Sat is generally bad for first 20 years of life, except when in own sign/exaltation.
Sat in Pis, Lib, or Sag confers prosperity & wealth. Sat in its own sign gives ample
wealth. But Sat in a house owned by Jup gives limited wealth, good wife & sons and
position of head of a city or town or village.
In deep exaltation (22 deg in Lib) it is capable of making the native the head of a country
& enjoy worldly comforts. But in rest of Lib (23 to 30 deg) native is driven out of country
and subjected to mental agony, wrath of Govt & loss of business etc.
Sat in association with an exalted planet is inclined to give good results, but if conjoined
with a deb planet, it produces opposite results. In its own deb sign, it is indeed bad.
(SK Mehta) if a planet is in exaltation and is associated with/aspected by Sat, then this
planet will act as a deb planet not only for the house it occupies but even for its own
houses(s). Since the planet is basically exalted, it will also give the results of its
exaltation, but in the second half of life.


o Vir Lag, Jup exalted in 11H & associated/aspected by Sat; it will first take away all
facilities related to 4H & 7H in the 1
st
& 2
nd
quarters of life and then shall
subsequently give them back in the 3
rd
& 4
th
quarters of life. (Note: Appears to make
no reference to dashas?!)
(SK Mehta) if a planet is in deb and is associated with/aspected by Sat, then this planet
will act as an exalted planet not only for the house it occupies but even for its own
houses(s). It will give results as if exalted in the 1
st
& 2
nd
quarters of life and since the
planet is basically deb, it will also give the results of its deb in the 2
nd
half of life.
If Sat is in deb in natal chart but exalted in Nav, it may not confer good results. This is
special to Sat. In such a case it brings about sorrows in the beginning & leads to distress
at the end. But if exalted in natal & deb in Nav, it bestows happiness in the beginning of
dasha & evil effects at the end.
Sat gives mixed results in its own sign & friendly signs. Good effects are attributed when
it occupies the sign of a very friendly (atibandhu) planet.
Well placed Sat is beneficial for persons born in Tau, Lib, Sag, Cap, Aqu & Pis.
Sat aspected by benefics is capable of good results. Hence bad effects accrue
when it receives the aspect of an evil planet/conjunct with evil planet.
Sat is ayushkaraka. But its power to kill devolves on him if it joins death-inflicting
planets. The good influences contributed by its favorable ownership cannot
minimise its power to cause death.
Transit of Sat through a bhava with 0-3 bindus causes disease, loss of wealth &
property, trouble to wife & children. In a bhava with 4 bindus it gives neutral results.
However since Sat has only 39 points it is seen that 4 bindus give adequate strength. In
a bhava with 5-8 bindus makes one leader of masses, gives wealth and dominance over
others.
Good transit with strong binduswealth, servants, land, pleasures, victory, permanent
job, leader of masses, marital happiness, honours.
Bad transit with weak bindusill health, death, fire, enemies, journey to distant places,
separation from relatives, miseries, loss of wealth, obstructions, delay, imprisonment,
calamities, grief; diseases windy & phlegmatic diseases, rheumatism, dyspepsia,
deformity, chronic diseases.
Retro Sat has power to pull down one gradually to a pitiable state of affairs. In the
period of retro Sat, no action bears fruit, obstruction is seen in all attempts, misery
follows & also destruction of brothers/all those who try to help takes place.
However when retro, if Sat receives the full aspect of Sun (7
th
asp), then its dasha will
produce good results.
If Sat has same degree as Lagwill have bad health throughout life.
If placed in Capwill be a man of few words.
During the dasha or bhukti denoted by the nakshatra Lord of Sat, debts, theft, fears,
ulcers, troubles, disease etc will follow. (i.e Sat is in a particular constellation; the lord of
that constellation is a planet; the dasha of that planet will be adverse.)
Mrityu bhagas of Sat( the degree at which if Sat is placed, results would be a wash out)
o Ari: 10, Tau: 4, Gem: 7, Can: 9, Leo: 12, Vir: 16, Lib: 3, Sco: 18, Sag: 28, Cap:

Sats native features
Is a great stabilizing planet which makes a person hard-boiled, industrious, of plodding
nature;


Sat represents old man & hence strong in later degrees;
Sat is volatile when Retro + combust/atichara;
Loses much of strength in 5H/9H
Sat when connected to Marakesh/Marakatva giving planet, eclipses that planet &
becomes the sole planet responsible for killing the person;
A pucca Saturnine has a disability to stretch or fold his hands /legs fully;
Sat cools down when it joins its Dispositor or is in own house;
Combust Sat gives an insignificant & miserable existence;
Sat gets Deb in Mars house; Therefore, Sat in Mars house is bad; Sat in Vrishchika is
very bad (neg sign of Mars) & hence enhances the bad effects;
In Sag, Sat is known as kodanda Sani, where Sat loses much of its malefic nature. It
makes one cultured, well behaved, calm, honored by all, righteous, straight forward &
free from dangers;
Sat being a shushka (dry) planet, its aspect on LL makes the body lean;
It is a disease giving planet. Its affliction to 5L, Sun & Moon gives chronic ailments.
Retro Saturn
Saturn retrograde people usually do not know when to stop working. Or they may not like
work at all. As Saturn is the karaka of misery, it is important that one must not give into a
negative attitude to life and embrace depression as a habit. Saturn is usually depicted as the
poor man. The poor are usually hungry - for food, for material goods, for good things in life.
Saturn retrogression can make individuals hungry with desire, wanting more and more even
when the hunger has been appeased and they may be materially very well off. They need to
watch for greed. Saturn rules Vayu element. Vayu is air and Vayu needs to be used
constructively otherwise it can become unnecessarily destructive. Retrogrades do not know
how to use their energy so if they do not take care, Saturn can become destructive force for
them. Anahata chakra teaches dispassion and detachment. When this chakra is blocked by
retrogression then they can find it difficult to detach.

starting dasha except for Moon) is highly significant. It gives the native all types of
experiences, good & bad in life. Further native will be at least 51 year old when Sat
dasha starts, if born in Sun dasha. Hence it enables the native to lead a sensible life.

Relation to Mars
When Mars is YK & Sat is in Mars Vargas, then Sat is automatically rendered strong. As

Relation to Jup
Jup is the only benefic which can drain out much of Sats evil from it. Hence it is
desirable that in the horoscope Sat has indirect aspect of strong Jup, say the 5
th
or the
9
th
aspects or at least conjunction or opposition. Otherwise life becomes hell. If the house
involved is Sats own/exaltation or Jups then even the absence of Jups influence may
not be felt. Only difference is the native will rise from scratch to good heights; but if Jup is
associated, the native will have some godfather to look after him and can come up well
in life. For example, Sat in Jup sign Sag may result in desire to give up selfishness, a
characteristic of Sat. Jup-Sat opposition will cause conflict between Jovian ideals &
Saturns materialistic tendencies.
If both Sat & Jup are strongbalanced, composed, thoughtful, decision maker;
If Sat is in Tau and aspected by Jup, will be very much concerned with vicissitudes of
other people, and takes interest in other peoples activities; will be liked & venerated by
one & all and is a generous donor; will be at the helm of a great effort.
If strong plus well aspectedthey uplift one to financial heights;
If conjunct, gives philosophical inclinations; Mars joining it gives to it aggressive, even
unsavory expression.
Sat bestows very good & auspicious results during its dasha/bhukti if placed in Sag/Pis.
The native gets power, authority, position, prosperity & happiness. It has been observed
that Sat gives results as if exalted in these signs.
When Jup and Sat reckoned from Lag or Moon are in kendras/trines or in 11
th
, the effect
is beneficial. It bestows strength of character & those qualities which make for eventual
success and spirituality. Their achievements will be substantial & solid. If they are
mutually in 6/8 or 2/12 or in evil houses from Lag/Moon, one may have sudden fall &
face disaster.

If in 2H/7H: physical sufferings; to overcome the dosha & untimely death, donate goat;
Results of Sat-Ketu Dasha (AD-PD): BPHS
Confinement by enemies, loss of glamour (? Varna haani), great hunger, worries, terror,
troubles;
Sat-Gulika
Short life span, leprosy.
Transit of Saturn
Transit of Sat particularly has an important role in making commission of a crime almost
inevitable;
In spite of best beneficial results, Sat shows its inherent malefic nature when it transits
houses other than its own/exaltation/houses of Jupiter. Even in its own house, good
results will not come if it is tenanted by malefics Rahu, Sun, New Moon or Mars.
Transit of Sat in 3,6,11 from Moon gives good results.
If Sat is transiting in 8
th
from Moon, mental worries/anxieties/disturbances will increase
considerably.
Transit of Sat through 4
th
or 8
th
from Lag/Moon will be troublesome if dasha is also bad. If
the relevant bhavas in SAV have more than 28 bindus, the transit may not give bad
results.
The transit of Sat in binduless kakshaya causes loss of health and wealth, misery and
sorrow & may lead to death. Transit in a kakshaya having bindu in his AV gives
inheritances, victory, agricultural products, land & contracts with the Govt. It is a good
time to launch satellite or fight elections.


Transit w r t natal Sat
In transit, in square to its natal positionimportant development;
If Sat in birth chart is exalted/in own sign/in a friendly sign/in MTresults are relatively
better.
If Sat in birth chart is strong & weak in transit: mediocre results
If weak in both: highly undesirable results.
If transiting Sat is giving bad results, then effects of other planets are also lessened.
Transit thro houses
(Trivedis) Sats transit over Lagna brings prominent changes. This happens partially
when it aspects Lag in transit. Good or bad results depend on various factors needing
deep experience & judgement.
When Sat transits through Lag /4H and if it influences 4H from Moon also, then check
which planet is passing through the degree of natal Sat. There will be trouble related to
that planet.
When transiting Sat is in 4
th
, 7
th
or 10
th
house from Moon Lag, it is called kantak shani.
It is not auspicious. The native has to suffer troubles, diseases, calamities and
confusions. Life is quite unsettled & insecure, mind is thoroughly restless, all kinds of
unhappiness take place. (KN Rao) in 4
th
, such Sat can also give excellent career.
Transit in 4H: native keeps ill; no comfort of home, change of residence may take place.
Unsettling trend.
Transit in 7H (esp when moving thro a movable sign): if other strong configurations are
absent, there is decidedly a long stay away from home & native place.
Transit in 10H: terrible obstacles in work. Break in occupation/career.
In transit & retro and if comes on planet on 6Hgives illness;
If there are indications of getting money/property through legacy etc, one receives
appreciable amounts of wealth from an old person (male/female), when Sat transits thro
8H. This happens when Sat transits through 1 Deg of the sign falling in 8H.
Sat & Rah give good results when in transit through 3,6,10 or 11
th
from Lag or Moon
(contradicts with kantak shani w r t 10H?!)
When Sat transits the 10H from Lag/Moon Lag, it retards functions, delays promotions,
gives demotions, unhealthy superiors etc. However if transiting Sat is conjoined or
aspected by transiting Jup, during such overlapping period Jup will remove the evil of
Sat. The influence of Ven is negligible in this matter as it changes signs quickly.
(Chnadrakala nadi-Trivedis): consider the house through which Sat is transiting & the
three additional houses aspected by it from that house. There will be suffering on
account of those houses from which the above mentioned four houses become the 8
th

house. Such unfavorable results are to be borne by the native throughout the transit of
Sat in that particular sign. Example: (i) Sat transiting thro Lag. It aspects 3H, 7H & 10H.
The suffering/unfavorable results will be on account of 6H (Lag is 8
th
from 6H), 8H, 12H,
3H. (ii) If Transiting thro 2H, aspected house set is 2H, 4H, 8H, 11H & results affected
are for 7H, 9H, Lag & 4H.
(SA) Whenever in transit, Saturn is in the 11
th
house from any House and also aspects
the ruler of that focus house, a dramatic event related to that house can happen.
o When transiting Saturn moves in the 8H, it would aspect the 10H with its 3
rd
aspect,
and at the same time, if this Transit Saturn aspects the ruler of the 10
th
lord, then
expect a dramatic event in your career or to your father or mother of your spouse (4
th


to 7H) or childs health (6
th
to 5H). This 3
rd
aspect of Saturn can at times have a past
life flavour, we repeat at times bringing in also at times inborn abilities or likings.
The above principle can also be applied to the significator of the planet.
o For a Gemini Lag native if transiting Saturn is in the 3H in transit and aspects with its
3
rd
aspect the 5H of love, authorship & of Things from the past and at the same time
with its 10
th
aspect this Saturn aspects the ruler Venus who is sitting in the 12H, then
you can say that something to do with love or marriage will happen, since Venus is
the significator of the love/marriage and at the same time, it would be a mate from
some past life highlighting a very significant karma.
Transit w r t Lords of houses
(Chnadrakala nadi-Trivedis): When transit of Sat coincides identically with the natal
position of 8L from a particular house (& its trine position??-does not appear in the
shloka), the native will experience mental upsets due to denial of results signified by that
particular house.
(Trivedis) When transiting Sat has an influence on 10L from Lag/Moon, either by
association or by asp, this 2.5 years of transit is quite promising and rewarding for the
native w r t occupation, securing job, starting business or settlement.
(Trivedis) if the 10L is involved in an exchange of house with a particular planet, Sat
usually gives more remarkable results in respect of success or rise in career or
undertaking , when it during its transit, aspects or is united with that particular planet with
whom 10L has exchanged places. Such a nativity offers scope for application of previous
rule also. The rule operates fairly well even when the 10L owning two houses is involved
in the exchange & not the 10H directly.
(Trivedis) Transit of Sat over 10H from 10L is remarkable for professional
advancement, progress & prosperity. Further, if such house falls in Lib, Cap or Aqu,
professional prosperity & progress will certainly be highlighted during the transit of Sat in
any of these signs.

(Trivedis) if the 10L is posited in Cap/Aqu, Sat can exchange position with the 10L
during its transit thro houses owned by 10L. During this transit of Sat, career will take
upward turn. New activities & endeavors will bring sweet results. (Example given has Sat
as 10L in Aqu?!)
(Trivedis) whenever 10L & Sat transit simultaneously in eithers own/exalt signs, there
may be a sudden change or promotion by superseding others, upward progress in
career, and a rewarding career. The results will almost be the same whenever Sat
transits in Lib/Cap/Aqu & asp 10L.
(Trivedis) If the 10L is associated with nodes and is not posited in Kendra/kona, then
downfall, reversion or suspension may take place during adverse transits of the nodes,
provided the 10L is unaspected/uninfluenced by Sats transits. Such results may be more
pronounced if such 10L occupies a trik house particularly with rahu, & without Sats
benefic effect during transit over 10L. However detailed examination of chart should be
done. (!)
(Chandrakala Nadi-Trivedis): Transit of Sat over Lords of houses or their trinal
positions; transit coinciding degreewise of the relevant planet

Transit over Signs
If transits Cap in dasa of Satwiping out of past occurs & a new lease of life for future;
When Sat transits through a particular sign, it (adversely) affects the house owned by the
planet situated in that sign.
Transit over planets
Sats transit over natal Sun causes many adversities, especially w r t matters of house
owned by Sun. (Dhruva Nadi) when Sat in transit over Sun coincides with the degree of
natal Sun, or its trine positions, the natives fathers health will suffer or the native himself
will suffer illness or death of some male relative (some uncle) will take place.
Transit of Sat over natal Sun as well as 9H may give distress to father in bad dasha.
Sats transit over Moon in the natal chart gives malefic results, if Sat is a bad house Lord
& bad dasha & transit are also there. (See Sadhe Saathi for more details). (Dhruva
Nadi) when Sat in transit over Moon coincides with the degree of natal Moon, or its trine
positions, the natives mothers health will suffer or the native himself will suffer illness or
death of some female relative (some aunt) will take place.
(Trivedis) Sat in transit asp Lag & the Moon simultaneously brings promotion, elevation,
appreciation, expansion of responsibilities & extension of power. This will be so even


when Sat transits over Moon & aspects Lag. Sats transit that affects both Lag & Moon
becomes most prominent event & auspicious 2.5 years for the native.
(Trivedis) When Sat transits over natal Mars or aspects natal Mars in transit, life takes a
prominent turn. Also when Sat transits 4
th
, 7
th
and 11
th
house from Mars, vital changes
are experienced. Favorable or unfavorable depends on the position or ownership of natal
Mars. If Mars is a negative planet (malefic, maraka etc), the U-turn brings negative
results. These appear to happen over & above the dasha-bhukti or not considering
the dasha-bhukti. Ex: (i) Mars is negative planet for Lib Lag, (but gives positive results
in 11H, 3H & 10H). Sats transit thro Aries can bring disaster. (ii) Sco Lag, Mars in Lib,
Sat transiting thro Cap asp Mars; positive U-turn as Sat transits in own sign which is also
the exaltation sign of Mars. (Dhruva Nadi) when Sat in transit over Mars coincides with
the degree of natal Mars, or its trine positions, the natives co-borns health will suffer or
the native himself will suffer illness or death of some cousin will take place.
Note: These DN results of transit are effective during transit thro full navamasa occupied
by the planet (100 minutes on either side of the planet) are conducive for the result.
Sats transit over natal Jup or vice versa signifies financial gains.
If transiting Sat is giving bad results & Jup is unfavorable, then bad results gain in
power.
If transiting Sat is giving good results & Jup is favorable, then overall results are good.
If Jup & Rah indicate bad results but Sat is favorable, then good results happen in
greater numbers.
(Trivedis) In configurations where Rahu & Ketu are causing Raja Yoga (see Rak-Ket
later): The results of Raja Yoga will appear when transiting Sat crosses the natal position
of nodes or when Sat aspects such combination. However if the Raja yoga forming
Kendra Lord is Sun, Moon or Mars , the transit over them will bring miseries,
problems, tensions, frustrations, disgrace, humiliation, disappointments & failures, but
soon after will promote the effect of Rajayoga.
Nadi based results of Sats transit over planets:
When Sat transits over exact degree of any planet or its trinal positions, it gives
unfavorable results w r t:
o Natal planet as significator
o Houses owned by that planet
o House occupied by that planet

Sadhe Saathi (7.5 years period)
It should be understood that SS doesnt give any results that are not indicated in
the birth chart. SS cannot transcend the limits set by the dasha. It only enhances
or diminishes the effects of planetary positions. However, it may only lessen the
beneficial effect & not enhance it. No planet in transit can cause an incident; it can
only decide its timing.
According to some astrologers the results based on birth sign are:
o Ari: middle period is dangerous
o Tau: beginning period is dangerous
o Gem: end period is dangerous
o Can: middle & end period is dangerous
o Leo: beginning & middle period is dangerous
o Vir: beginning period is dangerous
o Lib: end period is dangerous


o Sco: middle & end period is dangerous
o Sag: beginning & middle period is dangerous
o Cap: beginning & end are dangerous
o Aqu: whole period is good
o Pis: end period is dangerous
Effects in first stage: Generally malefic for parents, if dasha & transit are also bad.
(i) Financially in dire straits (ii) physical comforts & health affected (iii) turns into a
nomad (iv) fathers mother suffers fatal pain (v) possible eye disease (vi) mind under
terrible tension (vii) guardians & relatives suffer (viii) separation from family (ix)
problems for father.
Effects in second stage: Malefic for self. Sats dasha & transit over Moon gives deep
depression.
(i) Constant financial worries (ii) physical ability, status & movement are affected (iii)
nothing happens as per wishes (iv) terrible mental upheavals (v) lots of hurdles (vi)
incomplete work & resultant unhappiness (vii) personality under cloud (viii) family,
marital & professional life in disarray (ix) long journeys (x) separation from loved ones
(xi) possible imprisonment , diseases, loss of property, social disgrace, (xii) all attempts
prove futile
Effects in third stage:
(i) Pointless disputes (ii) health, happiness from children & their longevity is affected (iii)
power from position vanishes (iv) excessive expenditure (v) feels lethargic,
inactive & weak (vi) enjoyment & happiness are disturbed (vii) possible cheating
by low minded person.
Sadhe Saathi cycles (max of three in a life time)
First: is very strong. Native is badly affected by problems, obstacles & losses. May lose
grandparents.
Second: comparatively less severe. There may be some relief too. May lose parents.
Third: full of gruesome effects; All round calamities; Very lucky natives come out of this
phase. May lose their own life.
Further results of SS
Significations of lordship of Moon & Sat activate during SS.
Houses owned by Sat as counted from natal Moon are adversely affected during SS.
Transit of Sat within 5 deg of natal Moon has to be watched. It has potential to cause
harm.
SS most of the times proves dangerous to parents.
Generally SS gives rise to mental agony which may or may not be related to other
activities of life.
(BV Raman) Reckon Sats lordship from Lag & Moon. Sat, in all probability will try to give
such results during SS which are expected of due to its lordship over specific houses.
Examples: Tau as Moon sign breakthrough in luck & career; Leo as Moon sign
marriage etc. These are of course associated with usual troubles & turmoil of SS.
Judging Intensity of results
Intensity of SS can be judged by studying the number of dots in the SS houses in
ashtakavarga (12
th
, 1
st
& 2
nd
from Moon). If there are insufficient dots, native may face


rough weather. If there is marked variation in the dots, abrupt fluctuations in intensity
may be felt.
The placement of Moon in respective charts of spouses should be seen to judge the
intensity & duration of the effect of SS. If they are in 3-11 or 4-10 from each other &
dashas are also not favorable, it can spell disaster.
Vedha should also be considered.
Hence for any two individuals the results of SS may not be same, as it depends on the
individuals birth chart & general principles of transit of planets & its effects.
Timing of SS
According to the well accepted principle of H N Katwe: deduct 45 deg from birth Moon & add
45 degree to birth Moon. The resultant arc of 90 degree decides the actual begin & end of
SS.
Modification of SS results
Reduction in intensity:
If SS begins at a time when the period of some auspicious/Yogakaraka planet is running,
then the evil influence will appear less powerful. (If the operative MD/AD is beneficial).
If 12H, 1H & 2H from Moon have more than 30 bindus each in SAV, the result will be
beneficial.
If in BV of Sat it has more benefic points in these houses, the results of transit cannot be
bad.
For persons born in Cap, AquSat does not cause much adversity. Those born in Lib,
Taudo not suffer much during SS. However the concept that Yogakaraka Sat (for Tau
& Lib) may not cause much harm during transit is subject to exceptions.
Effects of SS are checked heavily if strong Jup & MD in transit protect Moon by asp/conj.
Effects are also minimized if Sat is transiting through its exaltation sign, own sign or
friends sign. But this rule is not to be treated as universal.
If Sat is situated auspiciously in a house in natal chart, then that house will suffer less.
Ex: If Yogakaraka Sat in 11H, then business will not suffer losses during SS. But say for
Sco Lag if Sat is in 8H, there will be disputes with brothers/criticism/humiliation etc during
SS. Similarly for 4H significations, like misfortune for mother, death for father (12
th
to 9H)
etc.
Aspects of other planets should also be taken into consideration. Benefic aspects give
excellent results, while malefic aspects cause evil.
Also to be checked are:
o From the house through which Sat is transiting vis--vis Moon at the time of birth
which planets & houses will it be affected with its aspect?
o See also the nakshatras surrounding Moon. If these are beneficial results of SS
cannot be bad.
o It is also said that Sats transit in 1
st
, 7
th
, 10
th
, 27
th
nakshatra from birth nakshatra is
evil. It is good in others.
If dasha lords are favorable along with transit of Sat, Jup, Rahu & Mars, on
Sarvashtakavarga and housewise, they give good results during SS.
The aspect of Jup on natal Moon is the most potent protector during SS.
Increase in intensity:
SS in bad dasha compounds evil effects. If malefics are present in the houses through
which Sat is transiting & dasha bhuktis warrant, the native will feel full force of SS.


Effects of SS will be adversely pronounced if:
o Natal Moon is afflicted by Sat, Rah or Mars, individually or jointly
o Sat is in Trik houses with their Lords.
o Sun with Moon or Sun exactly opposite Moon or Sun in 3H/10H from Moon,
because Sat over Moon can afflict both luminaries.
o If natal Sun, Moon & Sat are consecutively placed, SS will operate with equal
intensity throughout.
Some Yogas involving Saturn

Saturn is in a quadrant

Lord of Dhatu (elementary substance, mineral); rules rodents, reptiles & multi-legged
creatures eg. Insects; born head first;
(BPHS): exaltation: Vrishbha; MT: Gem; Own sign: Kumbha; according to some: Kanya;
Majority view: ExaltedGem/Tau; DebSco; OHVirgo; MTGem/Can; friendly

(Parashara): exaltation: Tau; MT: Can; (Jataka Parijatha) exaltation: Gem; MT: Aqu;
OS:Vir; (Phaladeepika) Strong in Ari, Tau, Can, Sco (?) & Aqu.
In Vedic astrology Rahu is supposed to maintain friendly relations with Mercury, Venus
and Saturn. It is neutral towards Jupiter and Mars and maintains enmity with Sun and
Moon.
According to a shloka from BPHS interpreted by Sri. J N Bhasin, Rahu has full aspect on
5
th
, 7
th
& 9
th
houses. (Though the shloka appears to mention Rahu, it has been
interpreted to include Ketu also; according to KN Rao, certain editions among many
versions of BPHS do not have this shloka)
Has separative effect; if strong, gives good results, else opp-w r t its karakatwas;
Although considered a malefic, a well-placed Rahu can contribute great wealth and
success when affiliated with benefic planets. It can also promote originality in the arts
and science. When afflicted, it can cause all sorts of problems depending on the
planet it is most connected to. Usually these problems have to do with the loss of
boundaries in some way.
Rahu is also said to have a predominantly tamasic disposition.
o According to the ancient Vedic wisdom, nature has three major gunas (attributes)
rajasic (active), sattwic (balanced) and tamasic (passive) the interplay which
creates, sustains and finally ends the Universe. One must remember that Rahu can
function in all the above mentioned modes Rahu functions in a Rajasic mode when
giving prosperity, in a Sattvic mode when giving knowledge and wisdom. It can also
function in a state beyond the three attributes the eternal state beyond time- space
where the source of everything that is manifest and unmanifest lies.
Special notes
Rah is earthy & gives mundane prosperity only; it has insatiable worldly desires; it is
known to deliver sudden & unexpected results, both good & bad depending on its
association with benefic/malefic;
Rahu placed in Trika house is a first rate malefic, except when placed alone in 6H where
it acts as a roga haranam (destroyer of diseases) its conjunction with other planets
causes inauspicious combinations.


Gives good results if posited in 3H, 6H, 10H, 11H (if not afflicted by malefics); Rah in
houses of Jup/Mer are actually good according to Uttara Kalamrita;
Exalted Rahu (particularly if in 2H) always generates great deal of money like Kubera;
Also when conjunct with/asp by Lords of beneficial houses particularly poorna yoga
karaka planets; Else gives only evil results;
Becomes very evil if with Mars, Sat or Lords of trika houses;
Depending on how its energy is harnessed, it can impel one towards suicide or
renunciation & spiritual mastery.
In a way it has dual nature one that can give material prosperity and the other which
gives material adversity. Usually the material adversity side has more spiritual benefits
attached to it, which is not to say that there is no spiritual growth when Rahu gives
material prosperity.
Rahu can be said to be associated with the dualities of nature and their subsequent
fusion. It can be the deceitful, shady, untrustworthy sort of character when working
through its lower aspect. Its energy is supposed to be behind all sorts of criminal
tendencies, unlawful activities, and perversions.
It is discontent incarnate and is never satisfied. It can lie, cheat, betray trust or go to any
extreme to achieve its ends. Its nature in these lower aspects covers all the bad points of
the dark side of the human psyche. Thus it comes as no surprise that it is the originator
of many types of morbid fears, suspicious, sadistic, and self-destructive tendencies.
It is seen that it retains a quarter of its illusory nature even then functioning in its most
spiritual mode. The native may not mind using any method whatsoever including lying to
fulfil his/her work on Earth, but everything done would be to manifest the cosmic plan,
which is how Rahu functions when working through its higher principle.
Rahu when working through its higher principle displays positive qualities like heightened
awareness of higher realms, true compassion for all existence and a need for rising
above the illusion of the material realm.
When working through its lower principle it drowns one in illusions and fantasies usually
relating to the lower dark sides of existence. Rahu is the planet of intuition, extra sensory
perception and other such phenomenon related with the astral body. Rahu, can make
one lose ones self in chasing after mirages or hallucinations, which can either be
induced by drugs or other techniques. Cloudiness is a term commonly used when
functioning through its lower aspect.
Rahu is the force or emotion behind such things as suicide and homicide, where it totally
clouds the capacity of clear thinking. This vagueness, cloudiness and confusion, is
attributed to Rahu in the Vedic system. Rahu is the planet of delusions and
psychosis.
If Rahu is working through its higher aspect, then this confusion usually leads to wisdom
and enlightenment.
Rahu has a peculiar heavy, hypnotic and sarcastic tone to its voice, which it usually
imparts to a native when it is related in some way with the second or third house.
Sarcasm is one of the main aspects of the nature and disposition of Rahu and it is
second only to Ketu when it comes to giving a sarcastic and hurting tongue. There is
often a wonderful sense of humour attached to Rahus sarcastic nature. This is why
Rahu along with Mercury can be regarded as the king of satire among planets.
Rahu knows no national boundaries and thus has a very international and all-
inclusive perspective on things.


Rahu is supposed to be a mighty and naughty child of Maya (illusory power of nature),
and thus has a lot of dualities attached to its Mayavi (illusory) nature.
It cools down if it joins its dispositor;
Mahashakti Yoga: Rahus dispositor placed in 2
nd
to Rahugives abundance of

It imparts a strange, hypnotic touch to the face, when placed close to the cuspal degrees
of the first or the second house of a chart. There is no equal of Rahu in imparting out of
the ordinary faces and appearances. It is experienced that a lot of the present day
beauty queens who get sudden fame through winning international beauty pageants
have either Rahu in the second house or connected in some way to the Ascendant or
second house.
Rahu is seen to represent tall persons. Any connection of Rahu with the Ascendant in a
chart adds to the height of the native. Rahu also has a predominantly airy constitution,
which is usually associated with a wiry or lean physique.
Among the five senses Rahu is especially connected with the sense of hearing. A highly
developed sense of hearing or complete deafness helps identify a Rahu personality.
There is also a certain sort of lordliness attached to its appearance and manners in much
the same way as Sun. However, there is a subtle difference as the lordliness that Sun
displays has a certain benevolence attached to it. The charisma and magnetism
attached with Rahu is also quite different from the Sun in much the same way a light
emitted by an electric bulb is different from the sunlight.
Despite its lordliness, its glance is downwards. This can be used to trace the people with
strong influence of Rahu on the Ascendant. It can also be used to judge the state of mind
of a person at any given point in time. A downward glance relates to a predominantly
Rahu or Saturn state of mind. It must be remembered that Saturn also has a downward
glance.

Result related
Rahu & Ketu give predominantly the effects of the Lord of the house with whom they are
in conjunction or of the house in which they are situated (BPHS).
When situated alone in a sign, the Lord of the sign will promote its karakatwas in its
Mahadasha. If the dispositor is well/beneficially disposed, it will give results accordingly.
If the dispositor is afflicted, it will reflect inauspicious results.
Rah is pious in Mithuna & Kanya; Rah is good in Kanya as it is 6H of kaala purusha. Rah
in Kataka Rashi is considered very good; some consider Rah in Capricorn as Royal
Rahu; placement of Rahu in upachaya houses (3,6,10,11) has been considered
auspicious in all classics. Many say that Rahu produces auspicious results in Cancer,
Tau & Ari.
Has Digbala in 6H;
Rah & Ket produce good results when they are in benefic signsthat is signs of planets
who are benefic by lordship for the particular Lagna (Functional benefics).
Rah alone in a house functions as the Lord of the house;
Represents (i) one belonging to a caste outside the four main castes, (ii) an irreligious
person or shudra, (iii) serpents, world of snakes;


Gives mundane prosperity; denotes attachment;
Rahu like Venus is a natural marriage maker.
Benefic Rahu: exalted, aspect of benefics, with Yogakaraka, in Kendra/trikona, 3H,
11H, in benefic rashis from Laggains, happiness, birth of son & wealth, construction of
a new house, recognition in a foreign country, religious thinking, welfare at home.
A benefic Rahu (with benefic or in benefic houses) gives very auspicious results like
money, pilgrimages, religious knowledge and travel (UK). Benefic aspect on Rahu also
will give success & gain. Reverse can happen in the dasha of Rahu badly aspected by
malefics.
Malefic Rahu: in 8H/12H with malefic/marakas, debilitatedresults will be from bad to
intensely worse. Loss of residence, mental agony, loss of spouse, children.
Rahu if in Kendra /Kona confers raja yoga in its dasha (BR)
A malefic Rahu can cause disease, snake bite (or food poisoning or strong reaction to
allopathic medicines), danger from enemies, fire & weapons.
When interpreting results of Rahu in different bhavas, modify the result taking into
account its results in various signs.
Examine the placement of Rahu from Lag in all cases. Next in importance is the house
occupied by Rahu.
Rahu must act as the lord of the house where he is placed.
o If say for Leo Lag it is in Sco, it acts only as 4L & not as 9L.
Of all the positions, Rahu in 6H/11H has proved to be generally very good. Better if
associated with benefics or Yogakaraka planets. Less effective otherwise.
If Rahu is conj with one malefic it is bad, if with two, it is worse. It is totally otherwise if
with benefics.
The aspects falling on Rahu from any house have a deep & subtle meaning always.
The periods of Rahu can also be periods of spiritual blossoming. He acts as the spiritual
transforming agent under all circumstances. The best advice an astrologer can give to a
person in the MD or AD of Rahu is to take to pilgrimages more & more, seek the
company of holy men & do some worship sincerely. A pleased Rahu shows them a
splendorous spiritual side.
In signs & Bhavas
Generally good in Aries, Taurus, Cancer, Virgo & Aquarius; esp in Kendras, Trikonas &
upachayas; gives high position of honor, fame & riches in foreign land;
Rah in Cancer or if in 3H, 9H, 10H, native lives a princely life & becomes rich in old age;
In Gem/Vir in Ken/Konpolitical power & prosperity; it proves very beneficial;
In Aries, Tau, Canprofits, wealth, education, favor from Govt, recognition from various
sources, happiness, patronage of women, good & beautiful married partner; if these
happen to be Lag with Rahu in itit is good.
In Vir, Sco, Pis with dispositor in Ken/Kona therefromexcellent results;
In Vir, Sag, Pis gives marriage, children, vehicles during a large part of dasha but
towards end all these are lost.
Is beneficial in Can, Tau, 10H; yields good results in Leo/Ari; laudable in Sag; best
placed in Aqu;
In malefic rashis gives generally bad results, all types of fears & ailments.
Placement w r t Moon (Manasagari)
First: good in the beginning of life, but in the end not so conspicuous in the same way.


Second: not good. Deprivations of money, honour & happiness.
Third: Not available
Fourth: gives grief to parents
Fifth: not good. Obstructions, fear of drowning
Sixth: good for financial matters.
Seventh: gives grief to parents.
Eighth: not mentioned.
Ninth: good in the beginning of life, but in the end not so conspicuous in the same way.
Tenth: good in the beginning of life, but in the end not so conspicuous in the same way.
Eleventh: not good. Loss of honor, wealth & happiness.
Twelfth: good for financial gains.
Dasha results as per BPHS:
If in exalt, own sign, MT: Excellent happiness, gain of wealth, desires are fulfilled
through friends & authorities, gain of vehicles, sons, building of new house, religious
ceremonies, honors from authorities in foreign lands, gain of dresses & ornaments.
If with benefics, asp by benefics, conj with Yogakaraka, in Kendra/Kona, in
3H/11H, in auspicious signs: All kinds of happiness & comforts (sarva sampath
sukhavaham) due to blessings of authorities, honor from foreign authorities, auspicious
ceremonies/marriage at home;
If placed in 8H/12H, indicates difficulties; if conj with malefics/marakas, in deb: loss
of position/place of living, mental agony, death of wife & sons, eating of stale food; in
beginning of dasha, expect bodily pain & loss of wealth & agri produces; in the middle
of dasha: happiness & wealth from foreign countries; in the end of dasha: will face
troubles, loss of position/place of living, mental agony.
Dasa & Transit
Bad results of Rahu manifest only in its dashas and are not lifelong happenings.
In Rah dashaeducation will be disrupted in the sub period of a planet in the
constellation of Rah. If there is no planet there, in the sub period of Mars;
In Rahs transit & mahadasa, transits in 1, 2,3,5,22,25 constellation from its natal
constellationuntoward things happen affecting reputation & occupation;
Rah give good results when in transit through 3,6,10 or 11
th
from Lag or Moon.
When Rah transits the arc of SunMerVen (together or in adjacent houses), highly
beneficial results like matters of profession & earnings, promotion in service, rise in
political life etc are possible. Kets transit thro same arc gives setbacks in above fields.
When transiting RKA is over natal RKA, it is generally a difficult period, if the dasha is not
favorable.
The transit of RK over Lag & 7H is also seen to be quite fatal, particularly if dashas are
unfavorable & Sadhe Sathi is also running.
Dhan/Rajayogas should be expected when the Rahu transits the AL or its trines.
Expected results in Rahus Mahadasha:
If exalted or in MT (MT: Gem, Own: AquParashara) or with a Yogakaraka or being
aspected by a Yogakaraka or with lord of a Kendra/trikona or in 11Hthe results are
good. Exalted Rahu will give comforts, increase of money & high position.


If in 8H/12H or with maraka planets or in deb, results can be bad. Deb Rahu will give
opposite results of exalted Rahu. Can sometimes be disastrous, including punishment by
hanging etc.
Note: The results of Rahu in different signs should be applied suitably to modify the results
attributed to different houses, particularly w r t negative results of Rahu.
Expected results in Rahus Antardasha (Rahu-Rahu): (BPHS)
If in Can, Vir, Sco or Sagwill be good; recognition from authorities, material gains
(clothes, vehicles, ornaments), increase in agri produce & cattle wealth, gains from travel
in western direction.
o Notes: if the stated signs represent upachaya houses (3,6,10,11), & Rahu is placed
therein, the status of Rahu as auspicious planet gets enhanced;
If such Rahu is in 3H, 6H, 10H, 11H & has connection with benefic planets or in
friendly houses, is exalted in natal/Nav or with yogakaraka: its sub-period will be
good & there will be gains. Gain of authority, great enthusiasm, patronage/affection of
high authorities, brings happiness & wealth, improvement in condition of wife & children;
(If with malefics, it can bring troubles, but if they are lord of trines, it can save from
serious consequences.)
If such Rahu is in 8H, 12H from Lag and with/asp by malefics: grief from thieves &
injuries/wounds, conflicts with officials in authority, death of dear ones & troubles from
wife & children;
If Rahu is 2L/7L & placed in 7H: it causes constant illnesses & great difficulties; but if
shanthi is done properly it can give wealth & health.
Notes: whatever might be the position of Rahu, it does administer effect of mental tension,
irritation, callousness, lethargy, strife, obstacles in work, enmity, disappointments,
depression etc in its AD. However, depending upon its placement, the intensity will vary.
Results of Rahu-Rahu (AD-PD) dasha: BPHS

Expected results in Rahus Mahadasha & Antardasha of other planets:
If the ADL from Lag are in Kendra, trikona, exalted, in own sign, 11H or exalted in Nav,
the period will give good results.
If ADL is in 6H, 8H, 12H from Lag, is associated with malefics, it will prove bad.

If conjoined by planetswill eclipse them;
Asp/association with maleficsdisastrous;
Asp/associated with beneficsbenefic results;
Asp/associated with yogakarakaacts as yogakaraka;
Rahu & planets:
Rahu also gets influenced to a large extent by the planets it is associated with in a chart.
Like Mercury it relays their energies without losing its inherent nature in the


process. This mutable quality of Rahu is what makes it behave sometimes like Mars,
Jupiter or even the Sun and the Moon.
Of the several planets which are in conj with or aspected by Rahu (aspecting Rahu?),
the strongest one gives the results indicated by it.
Example: Jup, Ven & Sat are in conj with Rahu. Let us assume that Jup is most powerful
of these, and owns 5H & is placed in 9H. Then Jup alone will be able to produce in his
dasha results of his indications viz children & fortune.
(GC Sharma: BPHS) Functioning of Rahu
Rahu works like Lord of the house where placed and also works like the planet with
which placed.
Rahus body is divided into two halves. Therefore it divides every object or incident into
two parts. The planets having lordship over two signs have certainty of 50% of Rahus
influence; but planets owning only one sign have all the destroying effect of Rahu.
This all destroying effect of Rahu through his conjunction with planets will fall on that
house of the horoscope whose significator is with Rahu and the condition of that house
is weak.
o Suppose Rahu is conj Mer, the significator of intelligence; suppose further that 5L
(of intelligence) is deb; in this case, native will be very intelligent in the early part
of education, but when higher education starts, the intellectual ability will
deteriorate & will not be able to get further education; he has to manage with
whatever education he got in the early part of life.
o Suppose Rahu is conj Ven; suppose further that 2L (of wealth) is deb; in this
case, natives trade prospers to a great extent & there is much accumulation of
wealth in early period of business, but in latter part he does not prosper even with
much effort; however he might have accumulated so much money that he does
not face any financial difficulty.
o Suppose Rahu is conj Mars; suppose further that 3L (of brothers) is deb; brother
& sisters born before the native remain alive but those born after may die.
o If Rahu is with Moon & 4L is deb, natives mother may be destroyed or native will
have psychological defect.
o If Rahu be with Sun & 10L is deb, will cause death of natives father or will cause
a steep fall in natives status.
Rahu & Sun
There is a creative side of Rahus nature and disposition, which resembles that of Sun. Rahu
is a force which can either nourish a personality like Sun nourishes all life on earth, or just
consume it like the harsh desert which is not conducive to life. Rahu is also related to the
egoistic self-consciousness in much the same way as Sun, the only difference being the fact
that Rahu is not the real thing but only a mirage.
It can be said that while Sun represents our true personality, and related directly with the
spark of the Godhead within us, Rahu represents the outer personality we have formed
through our experiences in our numerous lives. This is why Rahu is sometimes known as the
Artificial Sun.
Specific Results:
Rahus presence in the sign Leo or the Ascendant or any association with Sun
assists in easy expression of the soul personality. This expression manifests in the
outer world as self-confidence, self-assurance and creativity. In a negative sense it can
manifest as selfishness, pride, self-aggrandizement and megalomania.
Luminaries suffer most when conjunct with Rah;


Combination with Sun causes loss of profession & prestige;
When afflicted by Rah, may suffer in respect of father, heart, Govt. service, honors,

Ailment like fever, intense fear, distress to children & grand children, early death,

Rahu & Moon
Rahu has an innate reverence for the Universal Mother principle, which in our solar
system manifests through Moon. Even though Rahu is said to have enmity with Moon,
the major scope of its activity is lunar in a lot of ways. This is because Rahu is born out
of causative force sustaining this Universe, which is supposed to be feminine in its
attributes.
It is termed as the Negative Moon by some astrologers as it seems to represent the
dark side of the lunar nature. Though true to an extent, as Rahu does further
hallucination, illusion, paranoia and other such mental states, this is still a lopsided view,
because certain very spiritual yogas (combinations) involving the Rahu-Moon
combination find mention in the works of ancient Vedic seers.
Another reason for this identification is that is has the power to strengthen, weaken or
completely neutralize the lunar forces. The presence of Rahu in the sign Cancer or fourth
house or its association with Moon in a chart is a sure indicator of importance of a
mother figure in the life of a native in some form or the other.
Again a lot depends upon the aspect, lower or higher, through which Rahu is functioning
in a chart. For example, there is a difference between a negative trance induced by use
of drugs or other negative methods, and a spiritual trance induced by dissolving the mind
and the ego in the divine consciousness. In both cases Rahu has a significant part to
play, and the catch lies in the difference in degree of evolution. Since in the present day
and age, Rahu functions through its higher principle in relatively few individuals, the
Negative Moon theory holds true for the majority.

Rahu & Mars
Rahu, when relaying the energy of Mars, appears more aggressive even though a
certain degree of aggression is inherent in its nature. It can boost the Martian energy in a
chart but can also cause its perversion in many a case. Most of the unnecessary
violence perpetuated on this planet has its roots in this perversion.
It has been noticed that most of the charts of criminals of all types, have Rahu
influencing the energy of Mars in some way or the other. The famous criminal John
Dillinger has Mars-Rahu conjunction in eighth house. Even Saddam Hussein has Mars-
Rahu conjunction in his fifth house!
However this combination is also found in the charts of revolutionaries, who are fighting
for a just cause, as it provides the vitality to go ahead with ones thinking. The celebrated
Indian revolutionary warrior, Shivaji, who fought against the Moghul rule in India, has a
Mars-Rahu conjunction in his chart.

Rahu & Mercury
Since Vishnu is the deity governing the planet Mercury and has a definite connection
with the serpent power, it is inferred that Rahu is closely related to Mercury. It shares
qualities like wit, quickness of thought, and communication ability with Mercury.
Rahu being an illusory planet possesses a basic Mercurial nature with some spice added
to it.
Some wise men postulate that Mercury has a quarter influence of the nodes attached to
it even when it has no relation with them in a chart. This can be seen from its rulership of
Gemini and Virgo, the signs that Rahu is most comfortable in. It has been experienced
that in a nativity, only Mercury and Jupiter can control Rahus energy.
Rahu is also a significator of intellect in much the same way Mercury is, but the
difference is that Rahu has to do more with the intuitive part of the intellect instead of the
calculative, informational, discriminating part. This is why Rahu when working through its
higher principle can be seen as the higher aspect of Mercury, which relates to real
knowledge and the ability to look through illusions.
During dasha of Rahu one becomes timid if Mer is in 3H.
Specific: Conjunction makes one eccentric with perverse intelligence & makes the
native suffer from diseases which cannot be diagnosed / cured.
Results of Rahu-Mer dasha (MD-AD): BPHS

Results of Rahu-Mer (AD-PD) dasha: BPHS

Rahu & Jupiter
Rahu also functions in a Jupiterian manner, only when it is associated with Jupiter in
some way. Rahu has an airy disposition and thus possesses an inherently expansive
nature, but there are a lot of differences, as Jupiter is the planet of law while Rahu is
lawlessness incarnate. The merging of these two energies can sometimes create a good
balance and at other times cause disaster through over-expansion especially on the
material plane.
This over expansive nature of Rahu causes unnecessary scattering or wasting away of
energies in a lot of cases, but there is a lesson to be learnt in the events that follow as a
result. The disintegrating influence of Rahu through ungrounded optimism and expansion
is in fact one of its most dangerous traits.
Although Rahu is an airy planet it is quite fixed in its approach. The perfect example of
how the airy element can be unrelenting and powerful as a tornado, which blows
everything that comes in its way.

Rahu & Venus
There is a strong Venusian tinge to Rahus nature, which usually shows itself in a love of
show and pomp when Rahu is functioning through its lower aspect. Rahu is capable of
manifesting highest Venusian energies like universal love, compassion and harmony as
well when working through its higher principle.
Rahus Venusian side is highlighted when it is either associated with Venus in a nativity,
or is placed in the second/seventh houses, or is posited in the signs Taurus/Libra. There
is a strong urge for comfort and luxury when Rahu is manifesting these energies on an
earthy plane.
This is where the materialistic side of Rahu comes out, and probably this is the reason
why it is seen as a planet giving great material prosperity. The problem is that this
materialistic side of Rahu usually knows no boundaries and can be said to be
responsible for the terrible phenomenon known as greed, which is the core reason
behind all the present day mess in which humanity finds itself.
Rahu also has a diplomatic nature, which is very similar to that of Venus. Rahu like
Venus is by nature a social planet and enjoys company. Rahu is supposed to give an
artistic temperament in much the same way as Venus, but as always there is a touch of
unorthodoxy involved.
Specific: Gives perverse sexual outlook; sense of beauty & aesthetics is marred;
Results of Rahu-Ven dasha (BPHS):
(this is generally said to be difficult to interpret and tricky for predictions. It should
preferably be done with both Parasharas method including on divisional charts &
using Jaimini method to cross check.)
For good results, typically (i) both should be well placed in natal chart (ii) they should be
in nakshatras of planets who themselves are well placed & have good lordship (iii) their
position must be good in the relevant divisional chart also (iv) their Navamsa should be
good.

Rahu & Saturn
The planet, which Rahu most closely resembles, is Saturn, and it even shares a rulership
of a sign with Saturn (Aqu). Besides sharing an airy temperament, another thing they
have in common is the colours black and white.
Rahus close relationship with Saturn can be seen from the fact that it represents Ultra
Violet light, which falls just before the Violet light of the visible spectrum, represented by
Saturn. In this way Rahu can be seen as a higher octave of Saturn. The fact that Ultra
Violet light is not visible to human eyes highlights the more mysterious functioning of
Rahu as compared to Saturn.
Just like Saturn, Rahu is supposed to have a lazy disposition and is a long-term planner.
It can thus give a constantly worrying nature. The human follies like greed, avarice and
selfishness resulting from an excess of Saturnine energy are also attributed to the lower
aspects of Rahu.
Most of the devilish (to use a Christian term) aspects of human nature attributed by
astrologers to Saturn are in fact related to Rahu. Rahu and not Saturn is the Devil (or
Satan), which all the puritans and pseudo-religionists fear, but they dont realize that in
their own extreme way they are falling prey to the same force that they term as devilish.
As the wise know, there is no such thing as evil or pure in nature everything that exists
is sacred!
It can be said to be a better politician than Saturn. The polity of Rahu is--not always
orthodox or bound by prevailing social standards. Insensitivity is a term that can be
ascribed to Rahu in much the same way as Saturn.
The adversities that both these planets seem to inflict are just lessons that always
turn out to be rewarding in the long run. Success when it comes through Rahu or
Saturn arrives only after some sort of a struggle. The only difference is that Rahu gives it
with a certain degree of suddenness while Saturn grinds slowly. Rahu like Saturn is quite
an expert at raising people up and then bringing them down, but gives lasting success as
well, if one does not completely lose ones head.
Rahu however acts in a predominantly Saturnine fashion only when it is associated with
Saturn in a nativity, or is placed in the tenth/eleventh house, or is placed in the signs
Capricorn/Aquarius.

Like its nodal brother Rahu, it is considered a malefic, although it too can give a great
boost to a horoscope if other planetary configurations are favourable. When this occurs,
Ketu creates spirituality and insight. When poorly placed, Ketu can bring about problems
depending on the planets it is associated with. Where Rahu is usually related to worldly
things, Ketu tends to bring people to the spiritual or otherworldly realm -- for good or ill.
Special notes
Give good results (if not afflicted by malefics) if posited in 3H, 6H, 10H, 11H; also when
conjunct with/asp by Lords of beneficial houses particularly poorna yoga karaka planets;
Else give only evil results;
Ket provides mitigation of evil sins denoted by Rah & signifies salvation; it indicates
detachment; it is also called roga haranam & hence acts as a balancing force to Rah;
When placed with its dispositor, increases dispositors intrinsic strength/energy manifold;
Ketu is associated with diseases in general (especially small pox & those associated with
itching), and can cause attacks from social outcastes or depraved persons. But Ketu also
leads to abstract thinking, philosophy & complete dedication to philanthropic activities
and spiritual liberation.
Spirituality & Ketu
For spiritual initiations, first notice how Ketu is positioned in the horoscope. Ketu-Jup
interconnection with 12H is always excellent.
Combination of 9L with Ketu & Atmakaraka is the best combination.
Second best is Ketu in 8H asp by Jup or with a benefic preferably Mer. (Mer in 8H is next
best to Jup).
Third best is Ketu in 4H with the conjunction of 5L/9L/Jup/asp of Jup on it.
Ketu in 5H with Jup asp it, preferably from 9H or Jup in 3H asp 9H is a case of ESP
(extra sensory perceptions).
Jup, Mer & Ketus association in any house is good.
For clairvoyance/siddhis: Connection of Ketu with Jup, involving 5H & 5L, the 8H & 8L
or the 12H & its Lord.
o Second best is same combination as above without involvement of Jup.


o Third best is Ketu in 12H without any aspect, Moon in rashi of Sat asp by Mars, or in
the rashi of Mars asp by Sat, with Jup influencing the Lag/LL exactly.
o Note: when Mars gets combined with Ketu with 5L & 9L, clairvoyant visions are
mostly of the ghastly type.
o When Sat, as 5L/9L combined with ketu without Jups involvement, the worldly
visions mostly of lofty hills, pilgrimages, saints giving messages of some future
events to occur, broken but they are visions.
o If Mars & Ketu are in 5H, without involvement of 5L & 9L, such visions are too small
& often tragic. If however, there is such involvement, such experiences are very
dazzling, once in a while.

Result related
Rahu & Ketu give predominantly the effects of the Lord of the house with whom they are
in conjunction or of the house in which they are situated (BPHS).
When placed alone, it will give results of its dispositor or Mars. Of course its own
significations will also be felt. If the dispositor is well/beneficially disposed, it will give
results accordingly.
Has Digbalam in 12H;
Ket is very good with Ven. It is also good if in nakshatra of Ven.
Ket spiritualises unobstrusively;
Represents someone outside the four main castes; vultures;
If with its dispositor, increases the strength of dispositor manifold; this holds good
even if other planets are conj in the house;
If such planet is a functional malefic, increases its malefic abilities manifold (Ex: Lib Lag,
with Jup in 3H); but if alone in say 6H, afflicts the dispositor planet with all the shadripus
of 6H??;
Dasha of star lord of natal Ketu may give misfortune of various kinds.


In the charts of saints, the transit of Ketu in trines to lag/AL/paka Lag helps determine the
timing of parivrajya yoga (renunciation).
Rajabhanga yogas function when Ketu transits the AL or its trines.

Common Features of Rahu & Ketu
In delineating the results of Rahu & Ketu, it is important to recognise that they operate as a
unit and their axis is the fulcrum around which the other planets revolve in such a manner
that our lives are appropriately prepared for the next phase of evolutionary growth. This axis
is an expression of the Law of Karma, as it operates in each of our lives.
The effects of the two nodes become especially manifest during their dashas & bhuktis.
When Rahus period is entered, the intensity of afflictions arising from its unique disposition
in a particular chart becomes pronounced and the individual feels the strain of its churning
operation. When the period of Ketu comes, the benefits of these sufferings are experienced
and the expected psychological possibilities inherent in this period, the planetary impulses,
which otherwise might not be so easy to absorb, are creatively turned to ones immense
advantage.
Signs/Bhavas/Lords
Rahu & Ketu: Rahu depicts state of past sins & Ketu provides means to mitigate them.
Rahu is earthier & denotes mundane prosperity & attachments while Ketu denotes
detachment & salvation.
Deep research is needed on these two; they hide in their bosom many mysteries of a deep
nature;
They give the effects of planets owning the sign occupied by them. In conjunction with
others, they absorb their powers & try to give their effects, while these conjunct planets by
virtue of being eclipsed by them, lose their powers & become less effective. They act
according to their position, association & dispositors. They are benefic in 3,6,10,11 bhavas;
Rahu & Ketu strongly give results of the houses they occupy or the houses owned by the
planets conjunct with them or aspecting them. The results will be a combined effect of
placement, conjunction & aspect.
For Tau Lag, if Rahu is in 9H with Mer & Sun and aspected by Sat, it will give results like
a Rajayoga karaka in its dasha.
If the lord of the house is strong, they are strong and if weak, they are weak.
(Laghu Parasari) They will act according to the quality of house, if they occupy it
alone. In an auspicious house they will produce auspicious results, while in an
inauspicious house they will produce inauspicious results.
o They will be neutral in 2H, 12H, 4H, 7H & 10H. In the trikona houses they will be
auspicious. In the 8H, they will be extremely evil. In the 3H, 6H & 11H they will be
inauspicious. These will be the results if they are alone in these houses.
o In 3H, 6H, 11H with their Lordsinauspicious.
o With 8L, inauspicious, but if conjunct in 8Hauspicious.
o In 12H with 12Lneutral.
o For Lib Lag: If Rahu in 9H, it functions as 9L & more powerfully if
associated with Mer;
o If in 12H, with or without associating with Mer, it will be neutral.
o Usually Rahu / Ketu in the 7H or 2H associated with a benefic 7L, is definitely a
maraka. Usually Rahu/Ketu in 2H / 7H function as marakas. If with their Lords,
specific marakas.


o For Ari Lag, if they are in 2H/7H associated with Ven, then it is deadly
marakesha. If one of them is alone in these houses, then it is marakesha
in a general sense.
o For Tau lag with 7L Mars in 7H, are not so deadly because Mars a malefic
is not so severe in maraka qualities. But with 2L Mer, they are 3
rd
grade
marakeshas.
o For Gem Lag, RK in the 2H /7H with Jup are deadly marakesahas, while
alone they are normal in this respect.
Normally Rahu acts as Sat & Ketu as Mars; if Sat/Mars do not have their dasha at
appropriate time, Rahu/Ketu respectively deliver their basic promises;
A good yoga caused by them gives materialistic worldly success only;
If posited in Kendra they behave as Kendra Lords & if in Kona, as Kona Lords.
Being in a Kendra with conj/asp of Kona Lord or being in Kona with conj/asp of Kendra
Lord, they get quality of a Yogakaraka. Yogakaraka quality is not possible in case other
relations are formed (GCS:BPHS).
The planets which conjoin/aspect Rah/Ket modify their nature according to their own
nature, ownership etc;
Dispositors
Theory of dispositors especially should be applied for these; Ex: If Rah is in Aries, see
where Mars is from Lagna; if its dispositor is a Yogakaraka, they give results of
Yogakaraka.
They give the result of the lord of sign in which they are placed. (If in Sco, like Mars);
The lord of the house will affect results. If in Sco & Mars is deb, they get affected by this.
If associated with other planets, it shares results of those planets also.
Rah-Ket alone is said to give results as modified by its dispositor;
Dispositors of nodes are known as karmic control planets & if they conjoin in a good
house, give Rajayoga;
If conj with a yogakaraka or if its dispositor is in a trikona, it also gives results like a
yogakaraka;
When in 6/8/12 from dispositorsvery bad results;
Yogas/yogakarakas
Under certain circumstances they turn out to be Raja Yoga Karakas which turn them into
factors that can do good in the chart. This occurs when:
Rahu or Ketu is in a kendra (the 4,7 or 10th house) and conjoined or aspected by the
lord of a trikona (5 or 9th house) or when
Rahu or Ketu is in a trikona (5 or 9th house) and conjoined or aspected by the lord of a
kendra (4, 7 or 10th house).
Note: Mere placement is not enough; its relation as given above is needed to be a
Yogakaraka. The above essentially means that they function like the house Lord.
If in a Kendra & aspected by a trikona Lord, it is mildly Yogakaraka, unless it does not
occupy the sign of aspecting planet i.e yoga happens when aspected by its dispositor.
o Tau Lag: Rahu in 10H aspected by Sat who is also 9L.
o Can Lag: Rahu in 5H with 5L Mars & Sat; Raja yoga is formed, but the
auspiciousness is reduced considerably due to conj of 8L. If Jup, the 9L joins the
combination, then the blemish would be nullified.


Rah-Ket axis in trika/upachaya houses causes cancellation of many good yogas
generated in these houses;
Whenever they transit 4
th
from dasa lordupheavels, turmoil, sad results;
Good Results
Give good results in their own/exaltation signs;
Aspect of Jup lends them a strong protective cover to give good results;
If in 2H/7H and are associated with 5L/9L, it gives money & prosperity.
In Gem/Vir/Sag/Pis + conjoined with 1L/4L/5L/7L/9L/10Lenjoys life & gets wealth in
their dasa;
In Gem/Vir/Sag/Pis + Lord of sign owns one of the houses listedpromotion & prosperity
in dasa;
In dual signs with/aspected by Kona Lord or with Kona Lord in 9H/10H, gives name,
fame & wealth;
In 1H/4H/5H/7H/9H/10H + movable/fixed signs + conjoined with/asp by
1L/4L/5L/7L/9L/10Lwealth & power;
In exceptional cases, when Rahu is well placed in a mooltrikona sign of a planet, without
causing any conjunction or close aspect with other houses and planets and its dispositor
is strong, Rahu gives good results during its sub-periods for materialistic prosperity.
Rahu-Ketu, when exalted, gives materialist benefits.
If they are in dual signs and if they or their dispositors are associated with raja yoga
producing planets or aspected by them, they bestow money & prosperity in their dashas.
However, if they are also associated with dusthana Lords, such a promise gets
weakened. They also do some harm to brother and mothers side.
If they are in movable signs and in benefic houses or are conj with lords of trines, their
dasha proves very fruitful. (It is never possible for both to be in movable & benefic
houses. Yet, since one of the houses is benefic, it should be examined if the planet in the
benefic house is associated with trinal lord. Such Rahu/Ketu proves excellent in many
ways.)
If RK are in 6H/8H/12H have their association of Kendra/trikona Lords, they become
auspicious mostly, but at the end cause disease or even death.
If RK in 3H/11H/1H/4H/7H/10H & has association of Kendra/trikona Lords, they promote
prosperity.
Bad Results
Sun & Moon suffer most when in close conj with nodes & a node produces worst results
when in sign of Sun/Moon;
In 1H/4H/5H/7H/9H/10H + in dual sign + conjoined with/asp by 6L/8L/12Lloss of elder
brother/father;
If in 5H/9H + conjoined with/asp by 2L/7Llikely to cause death during their dasa;
If in 2H/7H + malefic planet be conjoined with 2L/7Ldeath during the dasa of malefic;
If in 2H/7H while their dispositors are with malefic lords of 3H, 6H or 11H, the latter Lords
become death inflicting.
If RK in 3H/11H/1H/4H/7H/10H & has association 2L/7L all promise of prosperity is
destroyed & may even cause death.
If RK are in malefic houses but aspected by benefics, they still become killers.
If RK are in 6H/8H/12H conj with lords of those houses or with maraka lords, they cause
bodily injury or ailment.


If RK becomes a killer by position or association, it becomes fatal.
Debilitated Rahu involves the native in exposed scandals and acute physical sufferings.
Expected results in their Mahadasha:
In benefic houses or with benefics, they act like benefics.
They produce good results if associated with Kendra & trikona.
If the kendras/trikonas but unaspected, they produce good results.
They get kendradhiptaya dosha if their rashi lords are benefics.
If the rashi lords are owners of kendras, are malefics, they produce good results.
Influence on planets
Sun & Moon suffer most when they come in contact with them;
With Marsviolent person, cannot control anger, sometimes murderous tendency;
Combination with Marhydroclele, hernia, bladder defect;
Conjoined with Mersuffers from a disease which cannot be diagnosed/cured; even
nervous breakdown/insanity is caused; eccentric with perverse intelligence;
Combination with Jupdestroys satwik qualities of Jup, scoffs at religion;
Ven in close associationperverse sex outlook, absence of aesthetic sense;
Sat in close associationmelancholia, suicidal tendency, criminal bent of mind,
pessimism; but under asp of Jup, a great yogi;


About Gulika
It is a sensitive point in the natural zodiac. Some say that Gulika & Maandi are same. There
appears to be different calculations for arriving at these points. However the characteristics
of the two are considered to be the same.
General features:
Complexion is black. He is most malefic. He is very cruel & destroyer of the world. He
destroys own abode. He causes death.
Significations of Gulika
Firewood, fire, funeral, articles of funeral rites, black magic, dead spirits, garbage dump, rat,
reptiles, bhootha, pretha etc.
Signs owned etc.
Makara & Kumbha are own houses. Kumbha, Simha, Vrishabha & Meena are enemys
houses.
Sat & Jup are neutrals.
Characteristics/behaviour
It has three aspects: on the 12
th
, 2
nd
& 7
th
.
The general notion is that he is harmful.
Some scholars treat Mandi as a catalyst. It increases the good results in good
combinations and bad results in bad combinations.
If placed in sapta vargas of Sat or is aspected by Shani, it indicates bad experiences for
the native. The combination with Sat in any formunion or aspectis not good in any
way.
Combination with Jup is said to be good. When placed in Jups sign it loses its
maleficience. But if Jup becomes the lord of the house where Gulika is placed, he
becomes a malefic like an intoxicated mad dog.
Subtract Suns Long from Gulika Long & note resultant point. When Sat in transit
touches this point, father becomes sick. When transit Jup comes to the Nav of this point,
death of father may occur.
When the significator of asceticism associates with Gulika, the native becomes
unscrupulous ascetic.
If Gulika occupies Nav of Jup, there will not be any bad results. But if it occupies Sats
Nav, it gives bad experiences.
Gulika destroys good effects offered by other benefic planets.
Lords of Mandi rasi or Grahas associated with Mandi are considered to be malefic.
The period of Lord of Gulika rasi or the Lord of Gulika Nav will be miserable.
When Gulika occupies the Nav of AK, the native will be a thief.
Gulika & Mars posited in 5H, 12H, 8H and Moon, Jup & Sat are in Kendras, the native
will be very poor.


If Gulika, Sat & Moon occupy Kendra, will be dull headed.
Moon & Rahu in association with Gulika in a krooramsa, the native will abandon
asceticism.
