16 Rare Secrets of Varga

Charts
By
Dr. Pemmaraju VR Rayudu, India

[First we must know the greatness of Mr Rayudu, his work ontiming

marriage to the year
is supposed to be one of the finest ever(published inSA), then one
must know the greatness of his Guru Late D V Subbarao, then only
one would realize the greatness of this article.The out of print and
just not available books of Late D V Subbarao has been the prized
possession of many Telegu reading astrologers all over India, some
of whom have extolled the below secrets of Varga charts as their
own in the last few decades and heralded themselves as
the Kings of Researches in Varga Charts without giving a single line
of
credit/hint
to
the
Late
D
V
Subbarao or Late Seshadiri Iyer.We here at SA bow to Mr Rayudu,
who has finally conceded to our request of 4 years for a series of
articles on his Gurus work. As someone rightly said Knowledge
when
hidden
becomes
like
stagnant
water and
turns poison, when releasedfree with due credit only then it becomes
moksha karaka. Editor]
I give below the free translation of the Rules for interpretation of Varga (Divisional) charts
from the Telugu (South Indian Language) book published in April 1970 by my Guru Shri
Late D.V.Subbarao.
1. Mars being in 6th bhava would be aspecting the ascendant and hence his 6th
position is always good. Mercury in 8th bhava is always beneficial.
2. In any varga chart planets in kendras (1, 4, 7, 10 bhavas) and konas (1,5,9
bhavas) are beneficial. That means they give good results to the life aspect
represented by that varga. If they are in 3rd, 6th, 8th, 12th bhavas they give
malefic results.

3. Even if planets are in bad positions in bhava chart, if they are in good positions in
varga chart from the ascendant they give benefic results to that varga. Even if the
planets are strong in bhava chart, if they are placed in bad positions in varga
chart they would not give benefic results and they will give bad results to the life
aspect of that particular varga chart. The planets who are benefic both in bhava
chart and varga charts would give very good results. Even if planets are strong
and placed in bad places, if they are in good places in varga charts they give
mostly good results only. Even if planets are strong and placed in good positions
in bhava chart, if they are in bad places in varga charts they will give bad effects
only to the life aspects represented by those varga charts. If planets
are asthangatha (nearest to sun) or grahayuddh parajita ( defeated in war) in
bhava chart, even if they are in good places in vargas they will not give good
results and such planets if they are in bad places in vargas they will give much
more bad results.
4. In any varga chart the planet which is neechabhanga (debilitation cancelled) and
placed in good position will give good effects.
5. Vargottam (same position in rashi & navamsha), Uccha ( exaltation), own house,
Digbala (strength) will apply in all varga charts. Exaltation in 3, 6, 8, 12 will not be
useful.
6. Mahayogas in varga charts will give good results. Aspect of natural malefic
planets is bad. Aspect of natural benefic planets is good. Even if, planets are in
bad places if aspected by strong ]upiter it will be good and in this aspect of
neecha (debilitated) Jupiter will not be useful.
7. The placement of lordship of bhavas in varga charts is not to be considered. The
placement of bhava lords in bhava chart only is to be taken. In varga charts, the
placement of lord of lagna(ascendant) in that varga chart is important.
8. In varga charts, even if debilitated planets are in good places, if they are not
neechabhanga (debilitated cancelled) they will not give good results.
9. It will be good if in every varga chart if lagna (ascendant) is vargottam (same sign
in rashi & navamsha) and if its lord is in benefic position. If not so but in malefic
positions, then theresultant good effects will be felt in dreams only. If lagna and
lagna lord are vargottam then it will be very good. The position of lagna lord in
good places is important.
10. In varga chart, if a planet is placed in a strong rashi in 6th house, it will give
benefic results in the beginning and malefic results later on.
11. In all varga charts, it will be good if more planets aspect lagna. In all Vargas, It will
be good if lagna has got subha-argala (good planets on both sides) and it will be
bad if lagna has got papa-argala (bad planets on both sides). Malefic planets
should not join with the subha-argala planets. If benefic planets join papa
argala planets, even if bad results are in the beginning, good results will come
later on. For planets also subha-argala is good and papa-argala is bad.
12. It will be bad if Uccha (exaltation) planets are associated with neecha
(debilitation) planets and if planets are associated with enemy planets.

13. If varga lagna has got good and bad planets argala, good results will come in the
dasa(period) of good planet and bad planet dasa will be bad.
14. In varga charts parivartana yogas (exchange of houses of planets & results) are
to be considered.
15. If in varga chart the lagna lord is in bad places in that varga chart then that planet
dasa will give bad results.
16. There are karakatwas (significations) for different vargas. If those karaka planets
are in karaka bhavas of those vargas they will give bad results. For example: In
Siddhamsha if Mercury is in 4th, in Saptamsha if Jupiter is in lagnal, if in
navamsha Venus is in 7th, in Dwadasamsha if Sun or Moon are in 12th, if in
Drekkana Mars or Jupiter in 3rd or 11th respectively then they will give bad
results respectively to education, children, wife/husband, father, mother, younger
or elder coborns. The planets in 3rd and 8th are marakas (death inflicting) for
karakatwas of those vargas.
