INTRODUCTION
Astrologr ls not determintstfc and it Ls
given to man to
change the course cf events to avert the nfsery'
zgony
anc
dtsasterthreatened
by evil inJluences of cenain inauspicious
combi::ations
or dispositions of
planets by
t
aking appropriate
remedial measures tn time. This approach is quite scientific
and is ln accordance
with the modern lir'.e of thinking.
Man
ls, no doubt, a creature of destiny but he is not entirely or
absolutely
its slave. Man has some freeoorn of will and action
also.
If man has no such freedom how can he overcome his
karmaand
attain salvation or how will his soul merge with
unlversal soul. Thus it should be accepted that there is'no
place for fatalism in astrologr. Fate and free will are two blades
of a scissor and
we still do not know which blade operates
tn cutting a
paper. It is man's supreme duty to do his mite
lrrespective of results lilrc a Nishkama KarmaryogL It is true
that errors of
judgement creep in when we are destined.
Miscalculations
occur and our reasoning faculty becomes
lnoperative and ineffective. The rnost important utility of
astrologr
irs to forewarn man to enable hirr
t
o forearm himself
to face troubles and calamities and to take steps in
accordance
with remedial
principles of astrolo$y to overcome
or at least minimise the evil effects expected. To illustrate, if
rain is inevitable and we cannot escape from it or avert
it,
either
we don't
go
out or take steps to avoid
getting wet by
the use of a rain-coat or an umbrella. This is the
precise scope
and function of remedial measures in astrolory.
.
'The
law of karma is not stifling and one only
gets what one
sows,
yet it
provides options and allows
room for the operation
of free will. In other
words it provides a system where action
of a kind, though in the
process of bearing results, can be
manoeuvred
into relatively less impactful effects. That is, a
certain consequence, though bound to result out of a certain
action,
can be suitably alrtended to lose its sting. Not all
causes attract the discount. Some do, some do not,
yet others
come
partly under the relief. Remedial measures are a
concomitant
of this system"

10 REMEDI,AL MEASURES IN ASTROI.OCY
'As
in larv where there are compoundable and non-
compoundable offences, so also do we have planetary
alllictions
(arrshtas
or dosl:rrs) that are amenable to shanft
(palliatives)
and those that are not."
In this material world it is dilficult to saythat there is even
one person who has no problems
to worry him. A man maJt
be loaded with millions or even billidns but if he has no issues,
or has no properly
a<lusted conjugal life, or is not enjoying
good health, he cannot be really called a happy person.
Ore
the other hand, a man rvho has no money suffers from pangs
of hunger and has no roof over his head is blessed with
children but he cannot alford to feed and clothe them or
get
them educated. All these
problems
and maladies are the
consequence of one's karmas in the preuious
brth or curtent

taken.
Yoga discipline and exercises are also included in this. These
remedial measures generate forces in order to deflect the
unhappy and evil influences which are likely to manifest as
a result of malevolent configuration of the
planets.
A*ologr has now come to be recognised as a vast science
diagnostic as well as remedial. According to astrolgoy all the
sufferings of the mankind
(individual
or country as a whole)
are due to
planetary
afflictions and as said earlier there are
remedialmeasures to alleviate ormitigate the suffering if not
completely neutralise it. As an illustration it may be
mentioned that in February 1962, it was predicted
by reputed
astrologers that the configuration of eight
planets
in the sign
Capricorn was likely to cause all kinds of disasters and
calamities in the world and particularly
in India. As a remedial
measure group Yqjnas were performed
all over the country
and whether the
predictions
were correct or not nothing

untoward happened. It is believed that when'a Yqina ts
paJumed the sasr[ftcia] oblatiorts and. tfie sound uaues
prduced bg the
rythmlc
chanting oJVedic mantrrrs have a
beneflcial effect on the
psycho-physical environment.
Recltatlon <.rf mantras
prescribed for each
planet in the
proper
manner and by observing the correct rituals are believed to
act as a very effectlve
protection from the evil effects of any
planetary a{lliction. When we recite the mantra of a
planet
who is giving us trouble, we actually
pray
to him to bestow
upon us hls mercy and save us from his evil rays.
The rationale of the use of
gern
stones to avert the evil effects
of
planets is dependent on the colours and vibrations of the
planets. Our ancientswhowere
no less scientlfic-minded than
the scientists of the
present day, tookthe
view that everything
lre the Universe is sensitive to colour inlluence. The various
Augas
l.e. Krita, lteto" Duapar and Kalt, and the various
gunas-Sathta. Rqias and Tamas, have got
their own colours
and the various
planets have got their own colours. The
lnfluence they exert on men depends on the different colours
emanated or absorbed. Likewrse each
planet rules over or is
related to a
gem. The colour of the
planet is reflected on the
human body through the
gem
and creates an effect by
absorptlon and reflection of the rays and vibrations. The
gem
acts as a filter and
produces good
or evil, depending on the
need of the body. If a
planet emanating a ray the vibration
of which ls unsuitable for the body, ls counteracted by the
ray absorbed by the
gem,
there will be no evil result. Jatak
ParlJat descrlbes the colours of the
planets and the
gems
related to them as under :-

"As
an astrologer can only study the tendencies likely to
manifest under certain situations, it may be logical, as an
extension of this approach to find out the additional forces
that can be
generated
in order to deflect any unhappy
lnfluence likely to mantfest as a result of the
gtven planetary
configuration" says Shri Bepin Behari in his article
'Some
Reflections on Remedial Measures' ln the September 1983
lssue of the Astrologial Magazine.
An attempt has been made fn this small book how the
'additional
forces'can be generated
by use of appropriate gem
stones or Mantras or other means to avert the misery that
may be caused by afflictions of
planets
or by malefic
configuration of
planets
in a horoscope.
Prasno Marga, an exhaustive work from Kerala
(English
translation by lo.te J.N. Bhasur, published
by Raryian
Publicatiors) gives
description in detail about identifying the
alilfcilng planet
and of locattng the correct remedy. According
to the author of PrasnaMargaall miseries and difficulties in
life are caused by one's sins of commission or omission.
Remedies are prescribed
in the form of medicines,
Japas
(repetition
of mantras)
,
Aqjnas,
oblations, worship, offerings
in charity
(Dana),
feeding etc. This matter will be dealt with
in this book in more detail at the appropriate place.
Apart frorn Japas oJ Mantrag use of
gem
stones, prayers
to the
planets
and other deities are very often resorted
to in
times of trouble. In North India Hanumargiiisbelieved
to solve
all
problems
if the dwotee recites HartumanCtnlisolaprayer
book) regularly.
Similarly prayers
are offered to different
deities according to the faith of the devotees. From our

INTRODUCTTON
personal
experlence we can say that
prayers,
if offered with
faith and due reverence to the deity, act as a very effective
remedial measure in everyday life.
How does the prayer
work as a remedy ? The question
is
answered as under-
'When
one
prays
one puts
one's Ego
(which
is synonymous
with duality) to rest and supplicates the Universal Self for
grace.
It is, too, well known that all human ills are the result
of Ego. When the little self or Ego is subdued, it allows for
our true nature to function. Our true nature is but Divinity
and Divinity means the end of all
problems
springing from
duality. In practice,
when most of us pray
there still remain
traces of Ego which refuse to be subdued completely and in
proportion
do our afllictions fade away or remain"

Preliminary knousledge about some
important aspects oJ astrologg
In order to understand the implications of remedial
measures in astrologr it will be very beneficial for the readers
(particularly
those who have no knowledge of astrolog) to
have some idea about Rasls
(Signs), planets, their ownership
of Rcrsis and Nakshatras
(constellations),
aspects of
planets
and also ingredients of a birth chart or horoscope.
(1)
The birth chart is a map of the heavens which at the
time of birth of an individual shows the Ascendant rising at
that time and the
position of the
planets in the twelve houses
or signs of the horoscope.
(2)
Rasls
(Signs):To
lmow about signs it is first necessary
to know what is Zodiac .7-odtac is a broad belt in the heavens
extending about 9 degrees on each side of the ecliptic. Ecliptic
ts the
path
of the Sun which
(path) passes exactly through
the centre of the Zodlac.TheZodiac is an imaginary circle of
36O degrees and our ancients divided this circle into twelve
equal
parts of3o dcgrees each. Each equal
part of3O degrees
ts known as a sign
(Rasr,l.
Thus we have twelve signs in the
7-odiac, namely-Aries
(MesM,
Taurus
(Vrishcbtl,
Gemini
(Mitfuno),
Cancer
(karka),I,eo (Sunha],
Virgo
(Karua),
Libra
(TuIa),
Scorpio
(Vrischik),
Sagittarius
(Dhal::u),
Capricorn
(Makdr),
Aquarius
(KunbM
and Pisces
(Meeno).
(3)
Aries is the first sign. In horoscopes it is written as
'l'
and Taurus is written as
'2'
and so no.

The following table shows the lords of the various signs.

Sun, Mars,
Jupiter and Moon are mutual friends.
Similarly Saturn, Venus
and Mercury
are Mutual friends.
Rahu and Ketu are friends of Saturn, Venus and Mercury.
Actually in nature Rahu is like Saturn and Ketu is like Mais.
Friendship
amongst individuals
depends on the friendship
amongst the lords of the acending
(Iagna).
(6)
There
are some signs in which a planet
becomes
powerful
and auspicious. If a
planet
is exalted in a
particular
sign, he is debilitated in the sign seventh to it. As the results
are very much
dependent on the strength
of the planets
it
ls necessary
to know the signs of exaltation and debilitation
of the various planets.
This information
is given
in the

There is lack of consensus amongst the ancientu about the
ourn signs and signs of exaltation and debiliation ofRahu and
Ketu. According to Porashara's
'Brihot
parashara
Hora',
(which
ls available in English also) Rahu and Ketu do not own
any signs. They represent the lord of the sign in which they

are
placed. Accordlng to this view Rahu is exalted
in Taurus
.nd aeUititated
ln Scorpio,
Ketu ls exalted
tn Scorpio and is
debilitated
in Taurus.
According
to
'saruarth
chinto:mat'd'
Rahu.s exaltation
sign
is c,emini and the sign of debilitation
ls Sagittarius.
The opposite
is the case
with Ketu'
(7)
Planets are of two
main categories-beneflcs
and
malefics.
The benefics
promote the
good of ihe
person or
+.hings
on whom they exert their
influence. Malefics destroy
the lhings
they inlluence and bring misery and troubles to
the
pers6n who falls their
prey. It is, therefore, essential to
lorow
which
planets are benefics and
which are malefics irt
a birth chart.
(8)
The Sun, Mars, Saturn,
Rahu and
Ketu are natural
malefics. Jupiter
andVenus
are naturalbenefics'
Moon, when
she is
powerful, becomes a benefic
and she is a malefic when
weak. The Moon on the Amornsday
(last
day of the dark half
of the
lunar month)
is nearest to the Sun. As a result the
Moon becomes
l.ustreless and entirely
weak. Later with the
start
of Shukta Pakstn
(the
bright
half of the lunar month),
Moon
moves rorward from the Sun.
When the Moon is forward
W
72 degrees
from the Sun, she begins to
gain strength. Upto
that stage the Moon remains
weak and functions as a maleflc.
Such a Moon ls called
kaning Moon'. When Moon ls 18O
degrees
away from the Sun, she is fully strong
(Full
Moon)
and a full beneflc.
In otherwords' the Moon
goes on acquirlng
strength
after she ts 72 degrees
frqm the Sun. After the Full
Moon day
(Parnamasi),
the Moon starts losing its strength
but she remains Vardng'and abenefic
until she is 72 degrees
near the Sun. On the Amcucs day, it is without any strength.
(9)
Mercury ts qlmbolised as a young boy Kumar).
Wh-en
.he
is conJoined
with a malefic, he beqomes a malefic.
'ConJoined
with a benefic, he becomes
a benefic.
He ls also a
benefic
when he is alone. Rahu and Ketu are shadowy
planets
and do not function independently.
If they are influenced by
benfics, they
give favourable
result in their maJor and
sub
periods. Results are opposite if they fall under the
tnJluence of malefics.
(fO)
tate ShriJ.N. Bhasul a noted famous and
very learned
astrologer and author of sweral books on Astrologr, has
orpressed the vlew in almost all his books that Rahu and
Ketu, in addition to havtng the 7th house aspect, also aspect

the 5th and 9th houses fror4 them. In support of his view he
has
quoted the following sloka from the Bombay Edition of
'Briitrrt
Parorshnra Hora' :-

In maintaining that Rahu and Ketu have the 5th house'
7th house and fth house aspects, ShriBhasitlhas expressed
the view that if those
planets are under the in-fluence of
benefics, they communicate the beneficial effects of those
benefics
with their aspects. Similarly they transport the evil
effects of the malefics influencin$ them.
(1I)
The sign rising in the eastern horizon at the time of
the birth is called the Ascendant
(I-agna)..
In a horoscope the
good
and bad effects of the
planets are dependent on the risin$
sign
(Ascendant)
to a
great extent.
(12)
There are dilferent
forms adopted for the
horoscope
in different
parts
of the country.

22 REMEDIAL MEASURES IN ASTROIOGY

This system of dtrectional firlluence is lorown as

to this system, the total of the
periods of all the

Note ::The maJor periods run in the order shown above.
(19)
For the sake of illustration let us suppose that at the
time of birth of a certain individual, the longitude of the Moon
{Chandra
Spasfl was lO-6-42
(1.e.
Aquarius 6 Degrees 42
minutes). If we see the table in para 17, we find that Moon
is in Satabhisha whlch stretches from 1O-6-40 to 1O-2O-O.
Thus we would come to know at once that at the time of birth
the
person concerned
was having the major
period of Rahu.
(2O)
Now we will have to find how much of the maJor
pertod
was to run at the time of birth. It will be seen that total stretch
of Satabhishais I3-2O'(13 degrees and 2Omtnutes) i.e. from
10-6-40 to IO-2O-O. Only 2 minutes of longitude have been
travelled by Rahu, and he has still to rr.n through 13 degrees
and lSmtnutes. When 13 degrees and 2Omtreutes are equal
to 18 years, 13 degrees and l8 minutes will be equal to 17
years I I months and 2O days. This means that the remaining
period of Rahu's maJor
pertod would be 17 years I I months
and 2O days. After the major
period
of Rahu will come the
major period ofJupiterwhich
will last for,16years. Then will
come 19 years of Saturn and 17 years of Mercury and so on
in the order
given in para lB.

When we say that the maJor
period of a
planet remains
lrr operatlon for 20. I B or I 6 years it does not mean that that
planet ontywill rule for all these years. What actually happens
ls that the maJor
period ls divided into sub-periods of all the
nlne
planets whose maJor
period is in force and other sub-
periods will belong to other
planets in the order
given in
para 18. The lord of the sub-period if strong
will have his
lnJluence durtng lord sub-period.
We are sorry we cannot
go

A planet is sald to be alllicted in the following
clrcumstances-

In our opinion if a
planet ls within 3 degrees of the Sun,
he should be treated as really combust and without any
strength.
(2)
When the
planet ls posited rn the 6th, 8th or l2th house
(which
are considered as inauspicious houses) and is deprived
of aspect of Jupiter, Venus or full Moon.
(3)
When a
planet is in debilitation and debilitation ls not
cancelled.
(For principles of cancellation of debilitation, see
our book'Learn Astrologr the Easy WuyJ.
(4)
When a
planet is conJotned
wrth a malefic and
fs
not
aspected by a benefic like Jupiter,
Venus or full Moon.
(5)
When a
planet is conJoined
with lord of the 6th, 8th or
12th house and ts bereft of aspect by a benelic.
(6)
When a
planet is tn exaltation and is retrograde
(retrograde
: movit:tg in the reverse direction i.e. moving
baclnvards tnstead of direct motion).
A house is said to be afflicted
when it is aspected by a
malefic, or a malefic is
posited in it, or when the lord of the
house is in any of the six circumstances
mentioned above.
The aspect of a benefic like Jupiter or Venus mitigates the
aflliction to a
great extent. A planet in the sign of an enemy
loses some of its strength but is not to be treated as aIllicted.

of the aspect of Jupiter. The
2nd house i s affl l cted
because lt is aspected by
Saturn and tts l ord l s
conJoined with Rahu. The
result is that the native often
lncurs losses of money on
account of deceptton by
Mars
Rahu

The sixth house is allllcted on account of
the
presence
of malefics Mars and Rahu. The native always
sulfers from some disease or other. The loth house and its
lord are alllicted by the aspect of Saturn and there is no aspect
of a beneftc on them. The result ls that the native always
remains worried for some reason of other and faces a number
of set backs in hls career. The 8th house ls afllicted by the
presence
of Saturn in it and the 12th house is afftcted by the
presence
of Ketu there and aspect of Mars and Rahu with the
result that the native has been
put
to financial loss very often
and iulfers from eye troubles. The 4th House is afftcted
because the lord of the 4th Saturn is in the 8th house. On
account of the alllictton of the 4th house. the nattue did not
achiwe any dtstinctton tn the educatlonal lield and was
deprtued of hts share lnthe ancestral property.
His domestic
Itfe is also disturbed. Although the lord of the 5th house
Saturn is in the 8th, he aspects the 5th house( hts own house)
wtth his lOth aspect. Therefore, this house is not alllicted.
The native has not, therefore, been deprived of chlldren and
-lntelligence.

there is Venus in his own
sign in l2th and Jupiter is
aspecting the 12th house.
Though the native has bad
health at times there are no
critical
problems.
But his life
and educational career have
been full of struggles. Now
see the Sth house. lnrd of
Sth Venus is in the l2th. He is associated with Mars and Sun.
Venus is combust beingvery nearto the Sun. Jupiter's aspect
did not help much because Jupiter is also a{Ilicted on account
of aspect of Saturn
(loth
aspect), Mars and Sun. Though the
native got
children, none of them survived. The lord of the
lOth house Jupiter is in the 6th house. As said above Jupiter
is alllicted also, but the loth house is not very much afflicted
because Jupiter aspects the lOth house
(his
own house). The
native though started humbly is now well set up in his
profession.
Saturn as lord of 9th in
gth
has helped him a lot.
The 7th house
(house
of married happiness) is also afflicted
because of the evil inlluence of Rahu and Ketu. The lord of
the 7th is in the 6th. Native's married life is not normal.
We are in a
position
to
produce
hundreds of horoscopes but
we are unable to
give
anymore tllustrations for lack of space.
The two above should suffice for the
purpose
we had in view.
namely to show how the planets
and houses get
afllicted and
bring troubles in the lives of the people-and
this brings us
to remedial measures which is the real subject matter of thls
book.

According to astronomy, Sun is the
parent
of entire solar
system. He is also called the
'Father
of Stars'.
According
to Hindu mythologr
the centre of all life, force
and energr and the giver
of .kcmoL
Sun is worshipped
as Sun
Cod. He is held in high
esteem. At least thrice
daily Sun is
prayed
for by the Sun's devotees,
'Surya
Namaskar'is
done
by many persons
to regain
the lost vitality
and eye sight. Other
nations
also pay reverence
to sun. He is believed to represent
the Creator, the Brohmcr, with his four faces
to have
a srrrrey
of all the four directions
causing four
seasons and the four
elements Fire, Earth, Air and Water. Arnongst
the Hindus,
it is believed that the Sun is ever moving in a chariot drawn
by seven horses. This is probably
because in the Sun are
contained all the seven colours of the Spectrum
(VIBGYOR).
When the Sun enters certain
significant signs, the Htndus
perform
some religious function
on those diys to satisff the
departed souls and offer prayer
to Sun God. One such
important
occasion is Makarasankranfiwhen
sun enters the
sign Capricorn. The greatest
of our ancient astrologers
Varahamihfiaworshipped
onty Sun God. I{is monumental iork
'Briho,t
Jatak' starts with this prayer
to Sun Cod-

Sun stands to us as a symbol of spirit. Sun is the soul of
Kalapunsho
(The
Moon is his mind, Mercury is his speech,
Mars ishis strength,
Jupiter is his lsrowledge and happiness'
Venus is his desire and Satum is his misery, etc.)'
It is said
that the sweral constituents
of Kalapunsho
are either strong
orweakaccordingto
the strength
of the
planets representing
them, only Saturn
is exempted.
Whenever Saturn
is weak
misery
witt te much
greater and
will predominate' But if
Saturn
is strong there
will be less misery.
For all human beings Sun represents the
positive and
primal fount. Moon represents the negative inJluence. Sun
ls constructive
and creative
while Moon is
preserving and
formative. Sun is the father, Moon is the mother.
The Sun offers us the
power of resistance and vitality' He
governsthe inspiration and expiration,
i.e' breath of life' Also
he rules over our consciousness
and denotes the individuality
whereas the form and
personaliff are attributed
to Moon' Sun
gives the force and self will and makes one determined
and
decistve.
According t o Br'tlti:;tJo;tak the Sun
possesses a dark-
red form. The Moon is whlte. Mars ts of
pale red colour'
Mercury has the dark
green hue of Durua
(grass).
Jupiter
has
a body of yellowish hue. Venus is neither very white nor very
black. Saturn
is dark in form. Rahu is of smolry colour and
Ketu is of variegated colours-
The substances
ascribed to
planets from Sun onwards are copper'
gems, gold' alloy
of
metals, silver,
Pearls
and iron.
We are sorry, we have created some confusionbybringitlg

This is because they are
mentioned
in this manner in the classical texts. Now we will

40 REMEDIAL MEASURNS IN ASTROI.OGY
Saturn ls the chief signtftcator for longevtty and his
occupation of the house of longevity, i.e., the 8th house
gives
a long span of life to the native. The
principle
'KarakaBf'auo
Nasya'does not apply to Saturn.
Saturn when beneflc, makes a
person true, reliable, honest,
sincere, faithful, chaste etc. Also it helps in'concentration,
mediation and
prayers etc.
Stupidity, dullness, want of ortgltnality and dearth of tdeas
are due to ill posited Saturn.
Saturn
gives
such diseases which take a long time to be
cured. Saturn causes all impediments of the right ear and
teeth, all agues from cold, leprosy, consumption, black
Jaundice,
palsy, gout, deafness, colic,
paralysis, diseases of
the spleen etc. All chronic ailments and those of the bony
system are attributable to Saturn. Intoxication eczema and
amputation are caused by Saturn. If Saturn is amicted by
Mars there may be falls, injuries bruises, operation,
amputation, fracture, curvature of the spine,
gall
stone etc.
Sun's aspect or association with Saturn may cause blood
pressure
troubles, cerebral haemorrhage, cerebral anaemia,
thrombosis, cardiac trouble,
gout
etc.
RAHU AIIID I(ETU
Rahu and Ketu llke other
planets are not substanttal
heavenly bodles with an obserwrble body, shape or mass. They
have been called chhogagrahas
(shadowy planets). They are
not independent planets like the Sun, Moon, Mars etc. They
do not have independent orbit and as two
parts
of one body
thier movement is interrelated orJoint. They are at all times
at opposite
points
of the Tndiac like the head and tail. Though
they are by nature evil andgenerally evtl in inlluence, but by

whose thoughts and actions will be evil, one who will resort
to outcastes and low born as well as ill-bred people.

As a result of our
practical experience of several
years we
have come to the conclusion that Rahu and Ketu
give good
results
(if
not alflicted by a malefic), if they occupy the
upacl ugohouses,
i .e. the houses 3,6,fO and 11. They al so
give favourable results when they are conjoined
with or
aspected by lords of beneficial houses
particularly yqga
karakaplanets
i.e. those who own both a kendra
(quadrant)
or a tnkona
{trine)
even if such
planets may be natural
benefics or natural malefics. For example, for Cancer and l,eo
Ascendants Mars 7s a
gqakaraka planet and if Rahu is
associated
with or aspected
by Mars and ls
placed in an
auspiclous
house, he will
$ive
the results of a
gogakaraka
planet. Otherwise Rahu and Ketu should be treated as evil
planets and expected to
glve only evil results.
The diseases caused by Rahu are rheumatism' cholera,
dysentry and nasty diseases of mind and body, tendency to
commit suicide. Sometimes the diseases are dillicult to
diagnose.
The diseases ascribed to Ketu are-skin diseases,
pimples,
colic
pains, dropsy, abcesses,
paralysis, heart diseases
(if
Ketu
alllicts the Sun) hunger, ring worm, burns, injuries from
accidents and fire, apoplocy and smallpox.

With miraculous advances ln Science, man's entry into
space, landing of man on Moon and space survey of other
planets there has developed a school of thought that
worshipireg them is nrere superstition
or blind faith. Those
who follow this view, may be many or few, but the imprssion
they have formed in this respect is due to the fact that they
have not studied or correctly understood the vast material
contained in our ancient religious scriptures on this subject.
ftre fact is that God is Omnipotent and is present in all
animate and unanimate obJects in the universe as Rig Veda

This means that the truth

call HimAgni(Fire) that is one who produces light, some take
Him as their benevolent friend, some accept Him as Varun

glven FIim the name Yamathe

worship him as the

Whatever

to FIim He would remain the same
Supreme
lord.
God will remain Cod though
Flindus
may call Him Ishrlar'
Muslims may call FIlm Rahman or Malkeyomlddin
and the
Ch-istians
worship FIim as Jesus Christ.
When we see Him as the Creator of the
universe He is
Brahma-
When we see Him as all
pervading
protector He is
Vishnu
(\Rarq-rq
qrq'lt
h-{rsnq v gqai'
)-
when we see Hirn
as annhilator
of the universe He is Rudro or Mahesh' But He
is the same Lord Supreme
in different
forms'
When we treat
Him as the abode of our life, the life of the
universe,
we call Him Surya
(Sun). We do so as we see all life
giving qualities tangible
itt s,rryo
(qd 3IrFn wnKq${q)'
Thus when we offer
prayers to the Sun' we in fact
oller them to the supreme
Lord describing
His
qualities as
the Sun's.
The Suprime
tnrd is
present in the Sun also'
Similarly
when we offer our
prayers to the Moon
(Ctnndrol'
what we actually
do is to see the Supreme
Lord with the
qualities of the Moon.
In the same
way when we offer
prayers
t? uars, we actually
offer them to the Supreme
l-ord' The only
dillerence
is that
when we do so we see him as an afgressive
administrator
of regulations
and one who has the
power to
kill
(qr<untrs vrRt) wtrich we find in the blood

Planets.

Ketu-Lord Ganesha.
In this connection it may also be mentioned what'Brrhaf
Jatak has to say on the deities of the various planets.
According to this authoritative book the presiding deities are
flre, water, Kumar
(Ganesha),
Vishnu, Indra, Indrani and
Brahma
(a-gr)
of the
planets Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury,
Jupiter,
Venus and Saturn respectively. Varahamtfttr, the
author of Brihat Jatak, has given no importance to Rahu and
Ketu.
JatakPariJathas also e:cpressed the same view and has also
omitted to mention the deities of Rahu and Ketu.
Stgniltcancc and utlltty of Mantras for
propttlatlon of
planets
There are two main divistons of mantras. Under the firct
division come Vedr'c mantras. To the other divtsion belong the
Tantrik mantras. Accordingly the word
'mantra'
can be
irrterpreted in two ways: According to Vedic destgn

that is mantra is that the devoted recltatlon or
chantation of which frees the
persons from all troubles and
miserles.
The necessity for devotlon to mantras has been

Thls, means that mind can be controlled by dwotedly
worshipping the God or by constantly
praying in the language
of God
(frfi). His qlmbol is the holy monosyllable'OM'. It ls
this holy and divine word'OM'that should be recited and its
meaning should be understood and well thought of.
On the other hand the Tantrlkas have interpreted the word
'Mantra'as
follows :-
'
"qri'ffiFt:rptdqr<*mrEqe:
m<]ft R'k t-q'trqqt v: l"
According to them the word (rri) means the knowledge of
the world and the word'(ap1) means freedom from worldly
chains. Therefore, what bestows accomplishment (R'fu) in
both wordly and ultra mundane (E6qth-5' 3fr<
crqfik)
allairs is called'mantrd.
The meaning of Vedic mantras which are in ordinary
language, can be understood easily. For example'OM Namah
Shivaya'
(3[ts{
Tq: RTilq) isavedicmantrawhichsimply
means
'I
olTer salutation to Lord Shiva. But meaning of
Tantrik mantras cannot be easily understood.
All mantras are the semblence of Sftakti. One meaningful
name of the natural processwhich has created the universe
ls Sftakti. According to Hindu Shastras thts Siiva Shakti
assumes dtfferent forms in the world.
Vak shaktl
(+rqvk)
lunctions in four special and
distinct roles. Only those
persons
acquire full loeowledge of
this who are devoted to God and are engaged in merging their
soul with Brahma. Amongst these four roles of vak shakti,
three are subtle (q*t). It is the fourth role of this
power,
which people use in their speech. These four kinds of vak
shakti are Para
(q-{'),
Pashyanti
(cvq+),
Madhyama
ltam)
and Baikhari (ffi). Amongst them Para is the most
subtle and Baikhri is what we generally use in our speech.
The'Bla' letters (fl-erq-<) which are used in the tantrik
mantras for the
propitiation
of
planets,
are connected with
the subtle roles of Para, Pashyantiand Madhyama. Therefore,
they have
nothing
to do with the role of Baikhari. lt is
mentioned in the Rigveda that-

PROPMIr'$ION OF MALEVOLENT PI.ANETS

'Vak'
or the
'word'
was the very image of the lord Supreme
from the'beginning of the creation of the vtstble world. Vak
or word (vrq) is Brahmaor
the Etemal Spirit. In other words
thls whole world represents Vak or Shabda and it ts for this
reason that we can describe its constituents
in words and
formulate mantras.
From the beginning of the creation of the world there was
WORD and this WORD was with the Supreme Lord. It is said
ln the Bible.
"In
the beginning was the WORD and the WORD
was with God and WORD was God."
The Sikh
gurusand
the
promoters
of the Radfiasoamisect
formulated Surat Shabda
(S<yrq)
on the basis of
Nadabindu upanishad. In the Guru Crantha Sahib there is
a sentence
'qrq
of
q<
c6t'
which means that'by
recognising Shabda as Brahma, the man gets
to his
destination or home, that is, he is able to accomplish hisgoal
to meet the Supreme l,ord.
The activity which is called
'gqn'
(vibration)
in our
Shastras, has been described by the modern scientists as
lMave Theory'. Einstein has proved
that what we see in the
world in the shape of trees and mountains, arejust another
form of Energr or Shakti. Einstein had also
prepared
a
formula for convening the mountains and trees etc., into
Energ5r. The truth is that the making of
powerful
atom bombs
is based on thls formula. Then when we claim that the human
rnisery can be removed or minimised by the power
of words
(r<
ufra) in the shape of mantras, why it should be
disbelieved or termed as superstition. When lt is said that
there is eners/ in magnetism and electricity, there is no
reason to disbelieve that there is power
in our manlras which
are formulated from words (vi-<).
The Divine Power was at first in the shape of Vakorword.
According to Shaslras the word (srq)
is another form of
Brahma (*g). This is the reason why all ntantras begin with
the word'OM' which represents Brahnta.
'OM'is
a word which is very comprehensive and represents
Brahma It is, therefore, a very powerful
word. No mantrc
can be formulated without this word. This is the first word
i n every Vedi c mantra. The mantra of

PROPITIATION OF'' MALEVOLENT PTANETS
6T
Rttuale and essentlal formalltles for reclilng rnantms
One is rewarded
only when
mantras are cited tn the
prescribed
manner. The first important and essential
requirement is that the devotee should begin the task of
worship
after taking bath etc. If one i:s unclean
all efforts go
invain. It is said'
?l-* q.er t4 Tfr{ that is, one has to become
like a
god
to worship a god.
Next essential requirement is that the
place
for the
recltation
of mantras should be lonely. A place
in a temple
would be the best. A lonely room in the house will also serve
the purpose.
The object is that while one is engaged in
recitation of mantras, his concentration should not be
disturbed in any manner. There should be incense
(Dtaop
or
Agarbatt| burning in the room and it should be full of its
fragrance. Such an atmosphere keeps the mind peaceful
ano
cheerful.
It is also very necessary that an idol or
picture
of the deity
or the planet, whom one intends to offer prayers,
should be
before him. He should face East while reciting mantras. The
Asona
(3IrF{)
on which he may be seated should be of deer
skin
([rr+d)
orffushc
(gv).
I[ should be on the floor and not
on any kind of bed. A pitcher
1+cw)
of water
should be kept
before him. The recitation
of mantras should neither be in
loud voice nor in a whisper. The mantras should be
pronounced
correctly. For this a little practice
will be necessary.
It is also essential that the number of recitations
of a
mantra should be the same every day until the prescribed
number is compldted. If one has time, one can increase the
number of recitations but then the same increased number
will have to be adhered to on subsequent days. Once the
number is raised its reduction is not premissible.
Once a mantra is started, the recitations have to be done
every day without fail until the prescribed
number is
completed. If, for any reason, there is a break in this routine,
the whole thing has to be started aiiesh.
Anothervery important requirement is that the worshipper
or one who has taken up a
prescribed
course of mantras
shoul d, duri ng the whol e peri od
observe cel i bacy
(Brahmaclnrya)
and should not take, non-vegetarian
food

'the
observance of thts fast
gtves
conquest over enemles, favour from ktng or
govemment
and
freedom from diseases caused by Rohu and Ketu.
Benellcial effects of blesslngs and
good
behavlour
(f
)
Though there ls no direct relationship between planets
and blessings and good
behaviour, it goes without saying that
a
person who takes
pains
and pleasure in being of service to
his parents
and elders
gets
their sincere blessings which help
him to be long-lived, happy, contented and well to do in life.
One who sewes hls parents, looks after them and
gives
them
love and cornfort in their old age, in turn receives the sami
treatment from his own children. According to the Holy
Qoran
there is heaven in the feet of father and mother.
(2)
Our Stnstras says that man gets
the results according
to his deeds
(Karmal.If
one does
good
deeds, he gets peace
of mind, happiness and wealth in his life. Ore who does bad
deeds becomes the victim of all kinds of sufferings in hls life.
(3)
If one finds that Jupiter is alnicted in the I lth house
in his horoscope, he should not live awayfrom his father and
mother in their old age. His service and care of hts parents
will, by their blessings,
give him happtness and wealth.
(4)
Another example may be
given
of a horoscope ln whtch
the Sun is posited
ln the I lth house. The Sun is a Saturik
planet. Thereafter lf the native remains plous and takes only
Satu.rrkfood, hts spiritual
powerwill
conttnue to exist and as
a result, Sun who aspects the 5th from the f lth will do htm
less harm and may not harm his children. Normally Sun tn
this
position will not allow any conceptions to mature.
Vedlc Mantras
Vedic mantras have also been
prescribed for the Sun and
other
planets. Recitation of these mantras in the
proper
nnnner also helps ln the
propltlatton
of
planets.
The number
of recitations should be determined according to convenience.
For mantras refer to'qftq-qii', page 42-43.

If one wants to see an schibittonsf:all
colours together' he
should see the rainbow which is formed by the rays of the
Sun
passing through
the drops of water in the sky. Rainborr
has Jeven colours and ls formed m the sky: in the form of a
serni circle. It is so enchantlng a scene that one cannot help
gazlngat the slqy as long as the ratrrbow remains there. All
[he set en colours of the rainbow canbe seen clear]ywtth the
assistance of a
prism. The colours thus seen are called
VIBGYOR-V-forviolet,
I-for Indigo, B-for Blue, C-for Green,
Y-for Yellow, Gfor Orange
and
R-for Red.
rt would be easy to follow the effIcacy of the colour therapy
after
we understand
how we see the varlous colours tn the
world. Suppose
we see the
green grass durtnglrairry season
we see that the
grass bears only the
green colour-
Why do we
not see any other colour in it ? The reason is that when the
rays of the Sirn fall on the
grass, lt absorbs the six out of the
s6ven colours of the rays of the Sun and emits out only the
green
colour.
Thus the rays of the Sun after stnklng the
grass
enter our eyes, they carry only the
green colour emitted by
the
grass. Thus we see only the
green colour
in the
grass. The
same happens with red coloured
roso tn a
garden. When the
Sun's
rays fall on the rose, it absorbs six out of the seven
colours of the rays of the Sun and emits out the red colour
only. Thus we see the rose as red. Similarly all objects absorb
all the colours except their own and emit that colour out so
that we see it only in its own colour.

PROPITIATION OF PIANETS AI{D COI.OI,JR.S
The same
principle
appltes to the colours of the
planets.
Our
ancient sages in their research and with thetr divine vision
found out that the Sun is of orange colour. This view is
supported by the findfngs of the modern scientists. The colour
of the Moon ts white, of Mars ts red, of Mercury ls green,
of
Jupiter
is yellow, of Venus ls beautiful white, and colour of
Saturn is black. The black colour denotes absence of colours
and lack of Shaktl
(Vilour).
According to Fltndu Astrologr
Saturn is a destitute and Meless planet. Fh does not emtt any
colour-he is miser. He only collects: but does not give. He
ls selfish. Mars is a symbol ofviolent institutionsjust
as Red
Square, Red Star, RedArmy etc. The association of red colour
with Mars is in consonance with the
principle
of creation
because this colour is an extremely Rqjogwti (f*gfi). Vedos
and Shatras have called the red colour as q,rmbol
of
passion
for love and
pleasure (one
of three constituent qualities
of
living beings which i:s the cause of vice- (<Cfgufl.
The more an obJect is full of colour, the more it will express
tts quality. The abundance of colour determines the
quality
and value of the
gems. Both a coral and a piece
of
glass
are
of red colour: but the
price
of coral is much more than that
of the glass. This is because the colour in the coral is in a
concentrated state, and is, therefore, in abundanie, while
there is no concentration of colour in the piece
of
glagE It is
for this reason that
people go in for gems
and not for pieces
of
glass. If, therefore, we are able to concentrate red colour
in any manner, we can use that concentrated colour as a
coral. This is how the system of colour therapy functions.
Suppose we need red colour oractly that which is contained
in the rays of the Sun. For this
purpose
we should take a red
coloured
glass
bottle and fill it with Ganges water or ordinary
drinking water. Its cap should be removed and it may be kept
tn the sunlight for the whole day. When the rays of Sun
penetrate into the water through the red glass,
the latter will
get
merged with the water and with this will be merged also
the
good
or bad qualities
of the red colour. In other words the
water will assume the qualities
of the red colour. In other
words the water will assume the
qualities
of Mars and vuill
fully mainfest them when the bottle is kept in the sun light
for seven or eight days. The person who will drink the water

so treated,
wtll get tnstde hls body the
qualities of Mars. This
process translated tn astrological terminologr wlll mean that
we have strengthened the
posttion of Mars ttx the horoscope
of the lndtvldual.
This
prtnctple can also be appled to other
planets and
colours. If there is need for strengthentng
Mercury, the bottle
would be of
green
colour. To strengf,hen Jupiter the bottle
would be of yellow colour. Cenerally only these colours are
used ln this system
Now the
question arises, what would be the circumstances
when there ts need for strentthening Jupiter and other
planets ? We shall clari$r this
polnt by
giving
some
lllustration. Suppose in a boy's horoscope the Ascendant
(i-aglnal
ts Pisces and the lord of the Ascendant Jupiter is
posited in efghth house conJoined
with Mars, Saturn and
Rahu. In such situation, although Jupiter may be retrograde,
he would be taken as weak, because not only he is in the most
lnauspictous house of the horoscope, he ts
postted in hrs
enemy's stgp Llbra and ts under the malevolent influence of
three maleflcs also. A.s a result of thls affIction of Jupiter, the
bratn
power of the boy represented by the Ilrst house owned
by Jupiter will fail to develop. He may become an idiot. In
order, therefore, to remedy this alllction, it would be
lmperatJve to strengthen Jptter so that the boy ts able to
get
the
proper
dwelopment of hts bratnpower. For thls
purpose
while medical treatment and use of an approprtate
gem (in
thts case
yellow Sapphlre) would help. The drintring of water
treated by the Sun's rays ln a yellow bottle would also
strengthen Jupiter in the horoscope.
Iet us take another cas of Ieo Ascendant. In such
horoscope althougih Jupiter may be
posited ln the Ascendant,
the Sth and the 9th houses and 9th lord Mars may be under
the malefic lnlluence of Saturn and Rahu. Juplter may also
be under some evtl inlluence. Consequently the nattve will
be deprived of any issue. In such a situation if Jupiter is
strengthened, three benefictal consequences
will follow.
Firstly, the benefic aspect of the strengthened Jupiter
will fall
on the Sth house
(the
house of conception and
progeny).
Secondly,
his benefic aspect will also fall on 9th house which

For
another enample we take the horoscope
of a lady with

tnwhichJupiter,
though
arvayfro* the Sun,
is prey
to the malefic
and separative inlluences
of saturn and
Rahu. This allltction
ofJupiter
as lord
of 7th and significator
TKaraka)
for husband
is likely
to cause friction
in thJconjugal
Me
of the native
and may
even separate her from lier
husband.
It is, therefore,
essential
to strengthen
Jupiter in
the horoscope.
This can be done apart from
other remedial
measures
by the use
of the water
treated in sunlight in a
yellow
coloured
bottle. It is generally
accepted thit weak
planets
cause friction
and bring trouble from enemies
and
strong planets
invite goodwill
from friends
and a favourable
atmosphere.

We will
try to orplatn the efflcacy of the system of colour
therapy by the following
further
examples:-
(f
)
Suppose
there is a horoscope
with I.eo Ascendant
in
which
Jupiter is under
evil inlluences
of saturn and Rahu
(by

the native

who is
a_govt. employee ts harassed

this is that nlnth house ln a horoscope

and Rahu. As a resuit he ls deflctent ln hts studtes and does
not show enough intelligence to
get
a
grasp
of the subJects
of his studies. It will, therefore, be necessary to strengthen
Mercury in this horoscope. One of the ways to do it, is to make
htm drink regularly water treated in sunlight in a green bottle.
(6)
It in any horoscope Mercury is lord of the 3rd or the
8th
(This
can be
possible when the Ascendant is Arles,
Cancer, Scorpio orAquarius) and is afflicted by malefics, the
native can have imrnature death. Here again one of the ways
to strengthen Mercury would be for the native to regularly
drink water treated in sunlight in a
green
bottle.
(7)
Mercury is a significator for skin. When Mercury
is
associated with the Sun, Moon or the Ascendant, he becomes
afllicted by the evil influence of disease-causing
planets like
Saturn, Rahu etc., the native would sufferfrom skin diseases.
In such circumstances, Mercury, wherever he may be
posited
in the horoscope, has to be strengthened. For this
purpose,
the native should live in an atmosphere of
green
colours
(by
walking in gardens with plentiful of
greenery, wearing green
coloured clothes etc.) and should drink water treated in
sunlight in a
green
bottle. If Moon and the 4th house are also
alllicted alongwith Mercury. the native is likely to suffer from
skin diseases caused by
pollution of blood. In such conditions
not only Mercury is to be strengthened by use of green
colour
but Moon should also be strengthened by the the native
weadng white clothes etc. If, in any nativity, Mercury, Moon
and lords ofAscendant, 4th and Sth are all alllicted, the native
ls likely to sufferfrom lunacy. In such circumstances all these
planets will require to be stengthened by the help of colour
therapy and the use of appropriate
gem
stones
(We
will deal
with
gem
stones in a separate chapter).
t8)
If. in any nativity, Mercury and the lord of 2nd are in
6th and are showered with evil influences of Saturn and
Rahu, such a disposition will cause defects in speech as both
Mercury and 2nd house are significators of speech. In such
conditions the lord of the 2nd and Mercurywill require to be
strengthened by the help of colour therapy and other means
(such
as use of appropriate
gem
stone).

Saturn ts a sodess
(eunuch)
and scanty
planet' Mercury
also has stmilar characteristlcs
particularly when he is
conJotned wtth Saturn and has no other lnfluence on it. In
thts disposition Saturn and Mercury with their combined
charactertstlcs
wtll bring slownes.s, scanttness and wealmess
to the house occupied by them. For example in a Iro
Ascendant
nativity, Rahu is tn the 6th irt Caprlcorn'
Mercury
and Saturn are in the Sth in Sagittarius and there ts no
lnfluence of any
planet on Mercury and Saturn. In such
situation, Saturn being
(a)
a disease-causetng
planet
(bt
lord
of sign occupied by Rahu and
(c)
lord of the house of diseases,
will cause stomach disorders and Mercury will
give him full
assistance in this nefarious activity. Here the remedy will not
be to strengthen
Mercury
who will act like Saturn by colour
therapy or any other means but to stren$then Jupiter
lord
of the Sth by the native wearin$ a yellow Sapphire
in a
gold
ring and drrnking
water treated in sunlight
in a
yellow
coloured bottle.
(10)
Although strengthening Saturn'
will make his aspect
more
powerful and harmful, there are circumstances
when
by strengthening
Saturn, the life of the native is prolonged
and it becomes
very essential to
give him more
power. For
example,
ln a Cancer Ascendant nativity, Saturn will be in
the 9th in Pisces close to the Sun and be aspected by malefics
like Mars etc. This will mean that the lord of the house of
longevfty has been rendered weak resulting in loss of longwity
for the natlve. It will, therefore, be necessary to strengthen
Saturn although a strengthened
Saturn will not be
good for
the health of the native.
In the end, it may be
pointed out that in the context of the
qrstem of colour therapy this root
principle should be kept
Xa mind that although the 6th ltouse is called the tause oJ
di.seases,
it is actually the house of health. If this house is
occupied or aspected by malefics, there will be deterioration
in health of the native. Or the contrary,
if the house is
occupied or aspected by benefics or if the lord of the 6th is
associated
with or aspected by benefics,
there wifl be
improvement
in health of the native. Therefore, if we
stengthen
the lord of the 6th in a nativity' it will mean that
we would be strengthening
the health of the native.

Consequently, we should always strengthen the lord of 6th

Note :-.:The contents of thts chapter are based entirely on
the vlews expressed by the noted and learned author of a
number
of books on Fllndu Astrologr late Shri J.N. Bhasin,
in his book Anisht Gralt ilr Hindi. We, therefore, take
absolutely no credit forwhht ts contained tn this chapter nor
do we necessarily agree with
all the views expressed by Shn
tshcsrn We parttcularly
dtsagee with Shri Bhasin's view given
tn the concluding paragraph
that the 6th house ts the house
of health. The 6th house ls an inauspicious house and so is
the lord of the 6th. According to almost all the recognised and
authoritative classical texts, the lords of the 6th, 8th and l2th
destroy the houses where they are
posited
and those houses
are destroyed if their lords are in the 6th, 8th and I2th. The
lords of these houses are said to be
good
only when they are
weak This is why Vipareet Raja Yoga is caused when the lords
ofthese three houses are ln any ofthese three houses. They
are also helpful if they are in their own sign in these houses.
In fact, we consider the Ascendant or Lagna as the
prime
house of health and any alflicition of the Lagna or the lord
of Lagnrrand lord of Logna, are not alllicted the longevity will
not be adversely allected even if the lord of the 8th house is
weak. If the
ragnc
and the lord of Lagna and the Bth house
and lord of the 8th are afflicted, the best course would be to
strengthen, as far as
possible,
the lord of Lo.gna lnstead of
strengthening the lord of the 8th. It is an acknowledged
princlple in Hindu Astrologr that for full longevity
(frvtg
or
Wk)
ttre lord of the Lagna has to be stronger than
the lord of the 8th house.

Many of the learneds, ofwhom Ma:orrullor ls foremost' are
of the view that Rigwda is the oldest
written book in the
world. In that Rigwdnmention has been made of Rafia
(gem)
in its very first montra which is as under-
ft{3rftfrtffitaw
Undoubtedly
in thts manta.
prayers have been offered to
the Supreme I-ord by the word ?gni'but the main thing to
note is that the Supreme lord
l(r<a,
ew) had been mentioned
as
(<eurer$,
that is, one who wears rottors
(gens).
This
indicates that
gems
are meant to be worn. There are different
irrterpretations
for Vedic Mantras.It is very much
possible
that this mantraof
Rrgrrcdrrtntends to
point out the intimate
relationship betweenAgniand
Ratnas, that is, it throws a hint
that the heavenly ftre
(Agni)
is present in the ro,tnrrs in the
form ofrays.
From times immemorial,
gemstoneshavebeen usedby men
and women for decoration and for their welfare- The
Dictionary meaning of the word'gem'is-'a
precious stone'
a
precious stone on which is engraved a design, anything
of
outstanding
quality, worth orbeauty; the best' the choicest'.

This stanza in a
prayer to Lord Rama confirms that
gem
trs a very valuable kind of wealth. Everybody
is aware that
precious stones
like ruby, dlamond, emerald
etc. are
very
valuable.
But from the scientific
point
ofview
{iamond
lsJust carbon.
It is made from the same carbon from which coal is made.
Then why should be such a vast difference
in their
value ?
The reason for this dilference is that the rays which have
become concentrated
in the
di,amond'
are absent
in the coal.
In other words dtamond
is very costly
(valuable),
because
some special
quality possessing rays have
got concentrated
in it.
Thus we come to the concluslon that
gems are costly
because
in all of them are
present the rays of light
peculiar
to different
planets. These rays of light are
present in
diamond,
yellow or white or blue sapphire and other
gems.

There are certain rules or principles
for wearing the
gemstones.
The most important principle
that the
planet
whose gemstone
is worn will gain
more strength by this action
because the rays of the planet
enter the body of the native
through that
gemstone.
Therefore,
the ring, whether it be of
gold,
silver or copper, should be so made that the gem
touches
the skin. The native is benefitted by wearing
a
particular
gem
stone ring, because by this process
the related planet
is
strengthened. For this purpose
we should take into account
the lordships of the various houses
and consider which house
needs to be strengthened. For example if a native
of Aries
ascendant wears
a yellow
sapphire, the
gth
house and its lord
Jupiterwillgain more strength and consequently
the native's

REMEDLAL MEASUREs IN AsrRotocy
For the Libra Ascendanf Mercury is lord
of 9th
(a
trine) and
12th houses. The lordship
of a trine makes Mercury quite
auspicious for this Ascendant. We are of the view if th e natives
find it necessary
to always wear emerald, they should wear
It alongwith diamond, the
gemstone
of Venus. The quantum
of beneftcial effects will be more pronounced
in the major
period
of Mercury.
For the Scorpio Ascendant Mercury is lord of the 8th and
the l lth houses. Mercury is an enemy of Mars, the lord of
thisAscendant.
Still if Mercury be in his own sign in the I lth
or if as lord
of the l lth be posited
in the Ascendant, 2nd, 4th.
Sth or the 9th, emerald can be worn with advantage in the
major period
of Mercury. Wearing of emerald will get
the
native gahs
of wealth
and improvement in hts prosperity.
For the Sagtttarius Ascendant Mercury is lord of the 7th
and loth houses. Being a benelic, lordship
of two Kendras
makes him avictim of Kendra-adhipati Dosha. Still if Mercury
be in the foth ln his own sign in the loth
(causing
Bhadra
Yoga), Ascendant, 2nd, 4th, 5th, 9th or I lth, the native will
get
beneficial results, if emerald is worn in the major period
of Mercury. He will then have gains
of wealth and will achieve
success and promotion
i:r his professional
sphere. If Mercury
as lord of the loth is posited
in the 6th, 8th or l2th, wearing
of emerald will neutralise
the consequent evil effects of such
disposition.
Forthe CapricornAscendantMercuryis
lord of the 6th and
the fth
(a
trine) houses. Mercury is, therefore, considered a
beneficial planet
for thisAscendant. Mercury is also a frienci
of Saturn, the lord of thisAscendant. Emerald will, therefore,
yield immense gain

For the Aquarius Ascendant Mercury is lord of the bth

as a functional

very useful if it is worn durirlg the major period

Dr. Bhottoctnrga having been connected
with
various schools of medicine intimately and having treated at
least three lakhpatients
dudng fortyyears ormore, came to
the conclusion that all the therapies in existence
were
defective.
They did not reach the very root of the
problem of
the origination and eradication of disease. According to him
cosmic rays were at the botton of disease and cosmic
ra5rs
were the only force capable of curing the disease.
When the
hunger
(of
rays) was appeased by
gems radiating difierent
colours, the disease left the body.
We have to look for the origin of wery thing to the cosmic
colours, includinglwen, the Sun, Moon andthe otherplanets.
It is saidintheKurmoPwanothat
the se\ten
principal cosmic
Colours,
viz, violet, Xedigo, blue,
green, yellow, orange and red
ffound
in the rainbow-known
in modern science as
VIBGYOR) are the matrices of the seven
planets, that is to
say, the seven
planets are to be conceived as condensation
of the seven dilferent colours of the rainbow. Among the
planets originating from the cosmic colours of the rainbow'
the Sun is the condensed
form of the red colour, Moon of
orange, Mars of yellow, Mercury of
green,
Jupiter of blue'
Venus of indigo and Saturn is the condensed
form of violet
colour. According to Dr. Bhattachargcr, this is how the origin
of the seven
planets is to be conceived according to definite
statement of the Kurma Purana The relevant verse quoted
by Dr.Bhattachargo
in his very popular book'Gem
Therapy'
as translated
in English is as under :-
'In
this manner the Great Lord, the Lord of the Lords' the
universal Grand father, always createsTime. He being of the
Essence of Time, with a body endowed with all conceivable
powers. The rays that compose His body; are omnipresent,
and illuminate the limitless worlds in the universe, and
among them seven are the best and the highest because thev
form the matrices of the seven
planets"
(Kurma
Purana)
Chapter 43, Verses l-2).
According to Dr. Bhattacharya like the
planets' the
planetary gems are also to be conceived as condensation of
the seven colours.
Thus ruby is a red colour concentrate'
pearl is concentrate of orange, coral of yellow, emerald of

of blue' diamoned

(Here
we may
warn the readers that these colours of
gems are the cosmic
colours and not the colours as we see them and as mentioned
irr classical
texts like BrilutJatakaandJatakaParyaf
as wili
be clear from what is mentioned in the next few lines).
Although these colours are not apparent to the naked eye,
their true cosmic colours
will reveal th emselves
wh en a
prism
is applied to the eye.
The
gems are inextraustible
mines of
cosmic colours and they can release torrents of coloured rays
when rotated on an electric
motor or vibrated at high
frequency.
The view of b. Btnttncharga
is that the seven cosmic
colours belong to two classes, hot and cold.
All male
planets
and their cosmic colours are hot in nature, while all the female
planets and their cosmic colours are cold cosmic forces. The
male
plants are Sun, Mars and Jupiter and their colours red,
yellow and blue are hot forces fo nature. The female
planets
are Moon, Mercury,
Venus and Saturn and their cosmic
colours orange,
green, indigo and violet are the cold forces
of nature.
In evolving
the Gem Therapy system,
Dr. Btrsttachtrya
thought that the hot and cold
forces of nature were there in
the seven cosmic colours of the rainbow and he considered
it desirable
that the necessity
was to
$et
the capability to
generate these colours
artificially and to transmit them to
alllicted
persons in order to make them
well' The
question
arose as to how to find out where the cosmic colours
were
to be found in abundance
so that they might be manipulated
by human beings.
The storehouse
of cosmic colours was in
the
planetary and theirgems.
The
gems weremines of cosmic
rays and they could be made to
yield their
valuable colour
contents
in various ways. They could be burnt and turned
into ashes iih/Ismas)
and in that form could be administered
to the
patients. Secondly, the
gem might be kept in alcohol
for seven days and
power released by the
gems woulfl be
absorbed
in the alcohal
which would then turn
into powerful
gem medicines.

GEM THERAry
103
Scientist evolved
yet
another
method by which
gems could
be made to yield their valuable colour contents for the
purpose
of distant
healing. He perfected a system by which a silver disc
set with gems could be
prepared. The size of the disc mi$ht
be three to four inches in diameter. This disc be fitted to a
small electric motor and switched into action.
As the motor
whirled with a speed of say 13OO to I4OO
RMP'
the
gems
yielded their colour, any
photograph of a
person suffering
from disease or healthy
person kept before the radiating
motor would at once receive the vibrations. According
To
Dr. Blrottactnryacosmic
colours could also be broadcast
to
either the healthy or a
person suffering from any disease by
vibrating the
gems at a very high frequency. This could be
done through a Vibrator at the rate of 3OOO
Vibrations
per
minute. Any
photograph kept in front of the vibrating
geT
would receive the coimic rays of the
parricular gem and
woulil
carry it in an instant to the
person residing any where in the
world. This system
was named by Dr.Btnttacharya as Tele-
therapy'and
was used by him to cure incurable diseases,
and
the facility
provided by him was availed of by
people from all
parts of the world afflicted
with incurable diseases.

According to Roland Hunt
(Author
of the book'Seven
Keys
To Colour
Healin$')
quoted by Dr. Blnttacharya
in his book
'Gem
Therapy', red rays are most suitable
for persons prone
to diseases such as aiments of the blood-stream,
anaemia,
Physical debility and lassitude, colds' circulatory deficiencies,
moronic cases etc. Red rays have been found suitable
in
impending collapse,
without
pulse and with
profuse
perspiration and cold body.
Idiots and imbeciles have been
very well influenced by red cosmic
rays. It is ruby which
supplies
red rays in concentrated
form'

disease arising out of heat. It is Moon who emits cold orange

The rays issuing
out
of
pearls
belong to the element of water and have connection
with the thin secretions of the human body and its blood
s,ystem. When heat is required to be counteracted, pearl
rays
may be used with confldence.
According Roland Hunt, Orange colour is suitable for the
following diseases-chronic asthma, phlegmattc
fever,
bronchitis, Wet cough,
gout,
chronic reheumatism,
ir:flammatism of kidneys, gall
stones, prolapsus,
cessation of
menstruation in females, mental debility, cholera and other
similar dlseases. Orange rays have gtven good
results tn
tnsanity of the young, fevers, bleedtngs etc.
3. Yellow Cosmlc Rays
The coral of yellow
cosmic colour releases hot rays. The
coral and its yellow
colour are associated with the martial
planet Mars. Yellow colour nourishes the marrow system. The
head and the genitals
also come under the inlluence of Mars
and therefore of yellow cosmic rays.
According to Roland Hunt, yellow rays are necessary for
subjects prone
to diseases such as stofnach troubles,
indigestion, constipation, flatulence, liver troubles, diabetes,
blind piles,
eczema, skin troubles, leprosy and nervous
exhaustion.
4. Green Cosmlc Rays
It is emerald which is a storehouse of
green
cosmic rays.
The colour of earth element is green
and is cold in character.
Therefore, green is a positive force with power
of integration.
According to Roland Hunt, green
rays are necessary for the
following complanits : heart troubles, blood
pressure,
ulcers,
cancer, headache, neuralgia, influenza, syphlis etc. Green
rays have been found curative in asthma, burnt skin, injuries,
ulcers, skin diseases and high blood pressure.
5. Blue Cosmlc Rays
The moonstone, crystal and topaz

in nature.
According to Aguruedic books diamond contains all the six
tastes-sweet, sour, saline,
pungent,
bitter and astringent.
By virtue of this quality
diamond should be regarded as a
medicine for diseases arising out of the simultaneous
derangement of the Tftdoshaelements-Vogu (arr)

According
to Roland Hunt indigo rays are good for the
following diseases:- eye troubles, ear and nose complaints,
facial paralysis,
all diseases of the lungs, pneumonia,
bronchitis, croup, whooping cough, asthma, T.B. dyspepsia,
creeping palsy,
infantile conurlsions, delirium, obsession and
otherforms of insanity. According to Dr. Btwttacharyaindigo

Accordtrrg to Dr. BttsttachargaGqrtedhfs the ultraviolet ray
concentrate.
The
gem
and its colour have connection
with
Rahu.
This is the coldest cosmic ray and should be broadcast
only
when a
person suffers from excessive
heat complaints.
Ultra
violet rays are useful in hyper-acidity and burning
ensatlons.
Comedh improves appetite, corrects digestion.
Ultra
violet rays are supposed to cure insomonia and help
women during child birth. Gomedhmay
also be useful for
bowel dlsorders, sexual Excesses and
glandular dlseases.
9. Infra-red Cosmtc RaYs
Cat's eye is the Infra-red cosmic
ray concentarate and has
connection
with the
planet Ketu. Infra-red is the hottest
cosmic
ray and is often required tn very chronic cases and
trr terminal dlseases. According to Dr. Bttnttachaty@ cancer
cases have responded
wonderfully to the vibrations of cat's
eye. Diseases which respond to infra-red rays are
paralysis
and croup. It removes excess of Kaptw(water) and VaUu
(air)
and aids digestion.
Acute skin diseases, cholera, nervous
debility, samll-pox,
uterine diseases etc., respond to infra-
red rays.
IIow to
prepare Gem Medlclnes
In his book'Ciem
Therapy' Dr. Bluttachcrya has also
given
the method to
prepare medicines from
gems. The method is
almost the same as used forthe
preparation of Homeopathic
medicines.
The list of materials
required for
preparing gem medicines
and midures is as follows:-

pounds in quantity.
With these materials in hand we can now proceed to
prepare gem medicines. First of all let us take an empty one
ounce
phial
and
pour
one dram of alchohol in the same'. In
the alcohol ruby shouldbe immersed. The phial
should then
.be
corked well and kept in a dark chamber protected from
white light for seven days and nights. At the end of this
period
the
phial
should be taken out and
given
a
good
shake few
times. The alcohol should then be
put in another
phial,
and
blank
globules
added to lt. By gentle rotation of the
phial
all the
globules will be medicated properly.
The phial
should
then be marked RIIBY+LOBS and the medicine is readv
for dispensing.
In the same manner, the other
gem medicines namely pearl,
emerald, topaz, diamond, sapphire.
gomedh
and cat's eye.
Medicines should be prepared
and labelled properly. The
phials may be marked as either RIJBI-GLOBS ro RED-
GLOBS. The gems may be taken out from the
phials
and
stored for future use when necessaq/.
These complete the nine single
gem remedies. The
preparation for the mixtures is also done in the same manner
except that all the
gems
of a
particular mixture must be
put
together in the alcohol. The gems
required for the various
mixtures are as follows :-
VIBG-GLOBS-Sapphire, diamond and emerald.
VIBGYOR-Sapphire, diamond, topaz, emerald, coral.
pearl
and ruby.

There ts no countr5r ln the world where superstlttous beltefs
are not practlced ln one form or other to ward off troubles,
diseases and other lCnds of dtstress and dtsasters. In Indta
also such belefs have been tn odstence from times

of a house. mlsfortune nwer strlkes that household. We have

lrr'Ir,lKlltrb'although Sunwtllbe
shown in the 4th and Mars
ln the 9th the number of 7 of the slgn Libra of 4th house and
12 of Pisces tn the 9th house wtll not be there. No. 4 of the
Ascendant wtll also be absent.
Instead of the signs of the
Ascendant and other houses, the author of the
'l'al
Kilnh'
takes the view that they bear the sings of the stgniftcators
(karakas)
of those houses. According to htm the flrst house
or the Ascendant belongs to the Sun, 2nd to Juplter, 3rd to
Mars, 4th to Moon, Sth to Jupiter, 6th to Ketu, 7th to Venus
& Mercury, 8th to Mars & Saturn, 9th to Jupiter, loth to
Saturn, l lth to Jupiter and l2th to Rahu, and on this basis
has been
gtven the elfects of
planets I the different houses.
For the
purpose of e:mining the horoscope and making
predictlons, the author of Loi Kilob has assumed that
whatever be the actual Ascendant at the time of btrth of a
person, that Ascendant will always be Artes, 2nd house wtll
be Taurus and so on and the 12th house will be tn the sign
Plsces.
Naturally, thts method cannot be accepted being against
all
prtnciples of Hindu astrologr. But the
purpose for which
we consulted lalKttabwas the remedial measures suggested
ln lt for evil consequences of afllicted
planets. These we gtve
below in brief for the
guidance of our readers:-
Sun
(
1) If as a result of ill posttlng of the Sun, the native sulfers
from troubles stgntfied by Sun such as heart trouble,
harassment by
government, eye or stomach trouble, he
should
give tn chartty thtngs ttke
Jaggery
(Gud,
wheat, and
copper. As Sun represents Lord Vishu, the recltatlon or
reading of Har1u,ar:.s,h Purano would help in allevtathg the
sullert4gs of the nattve.
(2)
It fs believed that Sun Xe the 7th house ylelds evil
results. It is possibly so, because in the natural horoscope
(where
the sign of the first house ts Aries), the Sun will be
in Libra
(trlr
his stgn of debilttatton). The remedial measure
given ln lal Kitnb for this effection is to
put
ou+. fire by the
use of milk. This
possibly means that the Sun who is like fire
will get the help of Moon who is like milk. Another remedial

measure suggested is that the natlve should
put
some sweet
preparation in his mouth and then drink water. According
to the thinking of the author of lalKitab Mars ls connected
with sweetthings like honey etc. Using milk and sweets will
possibly mean that the native with the help of Moon
(Mitk)
and sweets
(Mars),
is neutralising the evil effects of Sun in
the 7th.
(3)
If the Sun be alllicted in the loth he will be causing
sufferings to the native in the matters relating to his
signilications, the remedial measure sug4ested is to throw a
copper
Wisa
to be swept away in mnning water
(of
a river,
canal, sea etc.). The principle
behind this measure seems to
be to give in charity something connected with the Sun.
Copper is one of the things connected with the Sun.
'Get
copperpalsa swept away in running water'would mean that
some
power
is carrying away like running water, the miseries
of the native far awav from him.
Moon
(f)
It fs well known that the metal connected wtth Moon
is silver. When Moon placed
in any house in a horoscope is
causing trouble or the native suffers in respect of matters
connected with Moon such as illness of mother, mental worry
or mental debility, affection in the lungs or some lung
dlseases, or lack of money, the remedial measure suggested
to ward offsuch troubles is to
get
silver sewpt away in a river.
Another measure suggested is to keep water or milk in a
vessel near the head of the bed at night and to pour tt in the
morning on a Krkcrtree. The inference from these measures
seems to be to give tn charity, things like silver, water or milk
connected with Moon.
(2)
If Moon betng aJllicted in the Ascendant, is causing evil
effects, the remedial measure suggested in LolKitab is that
the native should stop selling milk. Another measure
suggested is that the native should keep with him things like
natural water, rice, silver etc., i.e. things connected with
Moon.
(3)
It appears that author of lnl Kitab keeps in view the
natural signs of the 3rd and other houses of the horoscope.

REMEDIAL
MEAST]RES
IN ASTROLOGY
For example,
if Moon being alflicted
in the 3rd house is
causing trouble
to the
native, the remedial measure suggested
is to
give in charity
green coloured cloth to an
unmalried
girl'
The measure
seems to be based on the fact that the 3rd si$n
(Gemini) is owned by Mercury
whose colour is
green'
(4)
If Moon be alllicted
in the 4th house' the remedial
measure
suggested
is not to take
milk at night' In such a
situation
milk should
be
given free to others'
(5)
If Moon is alllicted
in the 8th house the remedial
measure suggested
is to obtain
water from a well within the
precinctsof icremationgroundand
kee_p it in the house. This
-*.u"rr..
is believed
to ward, off the evil consequences
of the
afflicted
Moon in the Bth house.
(6)
If Moon being alllicted
in the loth house, is
puttin$ the
native in distress
and
giving him set backs, the native should
never take
milk at ntght. otherwise
the evtl effects
will be
escalated.
This measure seems to be based on the
principle
that
givIxg up or
giving in charity, the things
connected
with
tfre Jnictea
planet, will
prove useful. To use them
will
prove
harmful.
(7)
If Moon is evil in any
way in 1lth house' the remedial
measure suggested
to offer
milk in Btuirauji's temple'
Here
Moon

and Moon being
an enemy
of Saturn,

to

been suggested
on account
of Saturn's affinity

way to

If Mercury proves
evil to any person,
in order to
protect
htmself from the harm done by Mercury's allliction, he should
bum counes (dr$)
and the ashes should be throurn in a river
on the same day.
(The
canals etc. originating from a river
should be treated as a rivr for this purpose).
Another
remedial measure is to throw a copper paisa
with hole tr: it
tn the river. The thing to be
given
in charity is unsplit Moong.
To strengthen Mercury,
emerald should be worn. According
tor alKilnb, the deityof Mercuryis
GoddessDurgcl Therefore,
Goddess Durga should be devotedly worshipped
and the
related prayer
book should be regularly read. For those for
whom Mercury is evil,
getting
their nose pterced
will prove
useful. Cleaning of teeth by alum (fum-ft)
and worshipping
unmarried girls
also ward off the troubles caused by an evil
Mercury. If the native suffers from any disease on account
of the malevolence of Mercury, he should give
unsweetened
pumpldn (which
is used by sweetmeat makers) in charity.
Donations may also be made to religious institutions.
Mercury ts also propitiated
by
giving goats
in charity.

If Jupiter ts malevolent tn any nativtty, hls eytl effects could
be neutraltsed tf each blood relation

The
things related to Jupiter whtch are to be

him are sallron (+$<)

Though the deity connected with Jupiter is
Brahma, but if on account of inauspicious position
ofJupiter
ln the horoscope, the native is deprived of a son, he should
devotedly worshtp Har-i

thtrgs connected

are

prove
useful if the native makes donations or hi:nself takes up the
maintenance of the
poor section of the

Saturn
If Saturn is wil in any nativity, it will do
good to the native

It also
proves beneficial
if a

crows.
The things connected

If there ls any trouble tn the legs or ln urlnatton, the nattve
should wear a white thread of
pure
silk and a silver ring with
pearl
set in it. The deity of Ketu is Iord Ganeshowho should
be dwotedly worshipped.
Other Inausplclous events and thelr remedles
Accordtng to the author of Lal Kitorb, Ketu is a signficator
of both dog and son. Therefore, if the native's son is in trouble
he should feed a dog. The author of this book is of the view
that it will be
good
for the native to have good
relations with
relatives connected with the l2th house. If that relatiw is
dead, any of his thtngs llke clothes, ring etc. should be worn.
For example, if Jupiter is ln l2th, the native will pass
his
nights comfortably as long as his father and
grandfather
are
alive. After their death, the native will pass
comfortable nights
lf things connected with Jupiter such as daL gram gold
etc.
are kept by him near his body. Another example given
is of
Moon in 1lth house. If Moon is so
posited,
the author of Lal
Kitab is of the view that tf the natives'wife gets labour pains,
the mother of the nattve should go
awayfrom the house and
should not see the child for 43 days..The pnnciple
behind this
advice seems to be that a malefic Moon who is significator of
mother, is in the I 1th. She
(Moon)
will cast her glance
on the
5th, thereby harming the child to be delivered. It will,
therefore, be advantageous if the mother
{signified
by Moon)
ls removed from the site for the safety of the child. Sfmilarly
the view of the author of LaI Kttob is that if Mars is evil tn
9th house the native should look after and maintain his
brother's wlfe to ward oII the malevolent elfects of such Mars.
(9th
house being 7th to 3rd represents brother's wife). If Mars
ls in the 2nd, he will aspect the Sth and may make the native
childless. But according to the author of LaI Kitab, this will
not happen if the native looks after and maintains all the
members of his family.
Again the author of this book says that if Saturn is in the
Sth and the nattue takes up constmctton of house, hts children
fill get lnto trouble. The remedy suggested for thls ts to keep
things connected with the enemies of Saturn to the west of
the ancestral house of the native. The enemies of Saturn are
Sun, Moon and Mars. So the things connected with these

It is also the view of the author of I-al Kttab that wery

if Saturn is in the loth, the matters

Good or bad deeds which we are doir now and will do in
future, have no connection with the birth-chart. We will
mostly suffer the consequences
of such deeds in our next
birth. According
to Shosbas, the happenings in our
present
life are connected with what we did in our previous
birth. It
ls for thls reason that many a person
leading
a very sinful
life are happy
and very well to do. Such
people
are reaping
the
good
results of thetr good
deeds in their previous
birth
and will reap the bad results
of sinful life now in their nexr

Thls means the results of Karmas of the
previous birth
which are non-compoundable-whether
good or bad have to
be borne.
The results of compoundable
andnon-compoundable
stnful
deeds manifest themselves
in the birth-charts
in thetr own
way. Suppose
in a birth-chart
the sign
'4'
i'e' Cancer
is
aspected
& conjoined bymalefics
like Mars or Saturn etc' and
the lord of Caricer, the Moon is under similar evil influence.
In this way the house in the chart
with cancer as its sign and
l6rd of th; 4th sign are under the
inlluence of malefics by
aspect or coniunction.
Consequently
the limb connected
with
thi fourth iign
',tir.
Cancer,
that
is lungs,
will become
diseased.
Thus-, if aJlvlz'the
4th sign, Moon, the fourth house
and the lord of the 4th house are allltcted,
the disease
will
be incurable.
But if one, two or three of these are conjoined
or aspected
bv benefic,
there
will be a ray of hope that the
diseased
limb t ou ld be cured by medical treatment
and other
measures
for
propitiating the
planets responsible
for the_evil
effects.
The intention to mention this
is that
it is
possible to
lorow by examining
a birth-chart
whether a
partlcular
allliction
is rernediable
or not.
The
question arises that
if we have no freedom to avert the
results-of certain
Karmas,why
shouldwe
resort to recitation
of mantras or other
remedial
measures.
This way of thinking
is not correct.
Man is freq to do whatever
he likes. similarly
Godandl aw, maygi vehi mpuni shment f or ht scr i mi nar
actions.
The fact is that
man has freedom but
it is not
absolute.
FIe is like two cows-one
of whom has a rope round
her neck of 1O
vards
length and
the other is bound by a rope
of 5o
yards tengttr"both'arbfree
Lo
grazi but the frqedom
of
both
is limited to a distanci
of
'lO
yards and 5O
yards. Thus
one man is free to some extent
while the other
man has more
freedom than the former.
This is what we see in the
world. The
meaning
of all this is that a nlan should
not give
"P
hT efforts
if he is Jrff..itrg
from ill health or is fgcing other kinds of set
backs in his life. F{e should

he wtll succeed and what partlcular remedlal measures he
should adopt, wtll be tndtcated by hts
btrth-chart.
There arefour secttons of a blrth-chart vtz., planets,
stgns,
constellations and houses. Amongst the most prominent
are
the
planets
as the analysis of the signs, consetellations and
houses ls done through the
planets who ou'n them. For
example
the sign Cancer indtcates that it is owned by Moon.
The l{rltdlr.laconstelliation
gives its effects through its lord Sun.
Slmllarly houses can be ercamined only wlth reference to thetr
lords and slgniftcators who are planets. All thts leads us to
the concluston that Xr analyslng a blrth-chart. the
planets
should recelve mdn conslderatlon. We gtve,
therefore, l:r the
following
paragraphs
some rmportant details about
planels
whose positlon ln the horoscope may cause
good results ltke
Joy,
happlness,
gatn
of wealth or evtl results like loss ofwealth
and health, accidents, set backs in career etc. These would
enable us to adopt approprlate reirredlal measures ln the
event of tnauspiclous effects.
SI'N
Sun: Eyes-Sun betng source of ltght represents eye. The
Moon who recelves light of the Sun dtstrtbutes tt further.
Moon, therefore, also represents eye. In the blrth-chart the
2nd and l2th houses represent the two eyes. Therefore, the
problem of eye-slght, bltndness etc.
,
should be examined wtth
reference to the 2nd and l2th houses, thelr lords, Sun and
Moon
(See
Blrth Chart No. I tn the next chapter)
Sun-Strfe andfrlctlort4t account of his large slze, heat
and llght, the Sunbecomes intolerable. Therefore, sun creates
trlctlon with the relatlve represented by the house in which
he ls
posited,
espectally when he is assisted by Saturn and
Rahu. For example if Sun is ln the 7th house tn the sign
Caprlcorn, he creates frictton wtth the married partner.
(See
B. C. No. 2).
Sun: FIreSun represents ftre. So do Mars and Ketu in a
btrth-chart. Similarly the lst, Sth and 9th houses represent
flre. Therefore, when Sun, Mars and Ketu, the lords of the
signs occupied by them, and lords of the lst, Sth and

Sun: .Etones-If Sun, who already rules orrer bones ln the
body, be affllcted in a blrth-chart as lord of the Ascendant,
he would fully represent the bones. In such clrcumstances,
the native can sulfer from fracture after a fall or acctdent.
Sun: Separahrrness-Llke Saturn and Rahu, Sunhas, by
himself, a separative
qualfty. If he becomes lord of the sign
occupied by Saturn or Rahu, he becomes more powerful
to
perform hls quality of separattveness, and causes erril effects
on the
part of body whtch comes under hls inlluence.
Sun: Stonactt-If the Sth house, lord of the Sth and the sigp
Ico, are afllicted alongwith Sun bymaleflcs ltke Saturn, Mars,
etc., the

(See

Sun: Heart-When Rahu exerts hls inlluence, he does so
all of a sudden. Therefore, lf the 5th, lord of the Sth, sign Leo
and Sun fall under the evil inlluence of Rahu, the nattve
suffers from heart attack
(See
B.C. No. 4).
MOON
Moon: Eges-The Moonls a slgntflcator of the left eye-+o

left eye are.also damaged. The result of all these dispositions
was that the native became blind at the age of three. The
assoclation of Mars with two natural benefics in the

prevented
his being bornblind. It is possible
that lf Mars was strengthened before he became blind, he

slnce then and ls with her parents.
The husband was
repeatedly
advised to
give
up his present
attitude and k_eep
his wife with him; but he refused
to do so. The main reason
for the friction between the couple is the presence
of Sun in
the 7th in an enemy sign. He has become more malefic to
destrcy the married life because he is lord of the sign occupied
by Rahu. The 7th house is also hemmed in between Mars and
Ketu. The lord of 7th is also hemmed in between Rahu and
Mars-their aspects
(Rahu
aspects the t2th from Saturn and
Mars aspects the 2nd from him). From the Chandra Logna
the lord of the 7th Mars is aspegted by Rahu but Jupiter also
aspects Mars. This is the only ray of hope. The remedial
measures which should be adopted in this case are-
(a)
The lady should wear a gold ring with yellow
sapphire
ln it to strengthen
Jupiter.

died on f .4. f 964-Balance

The native of this chart

death.
It wiil be seen that Sun is
placed in the 5th in his
enemy's
sign. Sun is lord of 8th
from the Sth and of the l2th
from theascendant.
Ketu aspects
the Sun and the Sth house'
Its Ketu ts aspected by Mars and saturn his aspect carries
the
malevolence of Mars and Saturn also. Thus Sun and the
Sth
house are very badly alllicted.
The Sth sign,
viz', l.eo is
no less afllicted.
It is occupied
by Saturn and aspected by
Mars.
It is also aspected
by Venus but Venus is lord of the
sign
(house)
occupied by Ketu. Therefore,
his aspect ls also
ad-.'e.se.
The lord of the Sth is Saturn
who is
posited ln the
8th to the Sth ln an inimical slgn, and is aspected by Mars
andVenus,
both carrying evil influence.
It will thus be noted
that the Sth house,
lord of the Sth, the Sth sign and its lord,
are all under malefice lnfluence.
All of them
represent the
stomach.
Therefore, a serious disease of the stomach
was
tnevitable
and it tookthe form of an incurable
ulcer. The only
slight
mitgating
factorwas of Jupiter's
benefic inJluence on
bolh sides of Sth
(by
aspect to the 4th and 6th).
If Jupiter
had
been strengthened
and saturn
propitiated, the suffering and
pains might have become
lesser; but in the face of so many
malefic
inlluences complete
cure
was not
possible'
Incidentally

malefics Mars and Ketu. Lord of the Ascendant Mercury is
hemmed ln between Rahu and Sun. Sun's and Saturn's
afllictions we have alredy discussed. Moon is afflicted by Rahu
and Ketu. The 8th house is hemmed in between Rahu
(by
aspect to the 7th)
and Ketu who is in the
gth.
Lord of the 8th
Mars is aspected by Saturn and Conjoined with Venus who
holds the evil influence
of Ketu. All these wil inlluences
lndicate su{fering, continued illness and short life. But for
Jupiter in Kendrato
the Ascendant
the native might have
died
tn his infancy.
Btrth Chart No. 4
This birth-chart is of a
native who sullered a heart
attack
(cardiac
arrest). Here,
the main mischief maker is
Ketu who
attacks suddenly.
As we have
already men-
t i oned, Rahu
and Ket u
possess
also the Sth and 9th
aspects. In this birth-chart
Ketu aspects the 5th house
and its lord Mars who is there in his own sign. Ketu also
aspects Sun who is in the
gth
in his own sign Leo. Thus, Ketu
aspects the 5th house and its lord and 5th sign l-eo and its
lord Sun. Saturn also aspects the Sth house and lts lord.
From Ctwtdra
Wna"
the 5th house is occupied by Rahu,
and the lord of this house, Mercury, is under the evil
lnlluences of Rahu, Ketu,.Saturn, Mars and Sun.(Rahu is in
l2th to Mercury and Ketu aspects 2nd to htm). Therefore,
the Sth limb of Kaln pwusha, heart became a victim of not
only Rahu and Ketu; but other malefic inlluences too. The
aspect of Jupiter on Mercury, the lord
of the Sth frorn
Chandra
Wno.
is a very weak mitigating factor because
Jupiter ls lord of the sign
(house)
occupied by Ketu and his
aspect carrieswith it the
poison
of Ketu. He is also debilitated.
If the following remedial measures had been taken the heart
attack might have been avoided:-

The placement

also created
similar effect. Venus,
lord of the sign occupied

The natlve of this chart is a
lady who was married at the
age of 36. Apparently with
Jupiter in the 7th it was
unt hi nkabl e t hat t he
marriage of the native could
be delayed. Aclose e&rmina-
tion of the chart shows
following alllictions of 7th
house and its lord Saturn:-
,
(1)
7th house and Jupiter are aspected by Rahu.
,
(2)
Jupiter is lord of the sign occupied by Sun, Mercury and
Mars all malefics and is, therefore, under their wil inJluence.
(3)
Lord of the 7th is in the 8th is aspected by Mars and
is hemmed in between Rahu

i n the 9th.
(4)
D<changes between lord of 7th and 8th.
Fromthe Ctwrdralagnaalso
lord of the 7th is Saturn and
is aspected by Mars. Jupiter
(Karaka
for husband in a
female's horoscope) is in the Bth and is aspected by Rahu and
lord of 7th is hemmed in between Rahu and Ketu.
The adverse disposition was the cause of delay in the
marriage. If the lady had worn a yellow sapphire in a
gold ring
when she had reached the marriageable age and
propitiated
Rahu and Saturn, there was possibility
of the marriage being
expedited.

If Sun is alllicted

This is done bywearing

together ln some sign under the evtl influence of Mars and
Ketu or Sun, Mars and Ketu. the native should be advised
to strengthenJupiterbywearing ayellow sapphire and Sun,
Mars and Ketu should be propitiated.
The Sun causes separativeness and disharmony. When
Sun is posited
in an inimical sign i:n the 7th in any natlvlt5r,
he causes disharmony in the married life and separates the
husband and wife, especially when there is maleflc influence
of Saturn and Rahu who also
possess
the
quality
of
separativeness, on the 7th or lord of the 7th. In such
clrcumstances Sun should be propitiated
byfasting, reciting
of appropriate mcnhasetc., and the lord of the slgn occupied
by Sun, should be strengthened.
Sun ls a significator of father. If, as lord of 9th, he ls under
the evil influence of Saturn and Rahu, misery ls caused to
the father of the native. In such a
posttion,
Sun will require
to be strengthened and Saturn and Rahu will have to be
propittated.
Sun is the significator of bones. When, as lord of the
Ascendant, he is alllicted in 4th house, the native is likely to
sufer from fracture. In such a

the Sun will be required
to be strengthened and the pLanets
causing the aflliction will
have to be

Sun, if posited

In such circumstances Sun will be required to be

also found from
experience
that the
sllver Moon
along wtth
a small piece
of whtte pearl
and a small
red coral in a white
or red thread proves
very
elfective.
Moon is a stgntficator
for wealth.
When
Moon
be weak
because
of nearness
to the sun
(tf
Moon ts wtthin 22 degrees
of sun) and be cor{otned with
or aspected
by maleflcsl
the
native will be poor.
In such circumstances,
thi native
shourd
wear
a white pearl
tn a silver ring
to strengthen
the Moon.
By doing
so the native gets gains
of wealth.
The lord
of the
sign-
_occupied
by Moon
also becomes
the stgnificator
for.
wealth.
He also needs
to be strengthened
irweitr.
If Moon be
in Scorpio
and the Mars
(Lord
of this sign)be in debilitation
and aspected
by saturn, the native
should
be advrsed
to wear
a red coral in a silver dng to strengthen
both Moon
and Mars
and to propitiate
Saturn.
_Mo9n
is eye-espectally
the left
eye. When
as lord of the
l2th
(also
stgnillcator
of left
eye), Moon is affltcted
bv Saturn
or any other malefics,
the left
eye suffers. In such a iituation
the native
should
be advtsed
to wear
a pearl
ln a silver ring
to strengthen
the Moon
and to propitiate
the planets
responsible
for Moon's
allltcailon.
When
the Moon,
as lord
of the 4th, is in the
gth
under the
evil inlluence
of Rahu,
there is possibility
of native
sufrering
from epilepsy.
In such a situatton
the native
should be advised
to wear
a white pearl
in
a silver rtng
and to propittate
Rahu.
If the dlsposition
of
planets
in a nativity
indicates
lunacy
and the cause
of lunacy
be the alllictton
of Moon
also, the
native should
be advised
to wear
a whtte pearl
in a silver ring
to strengthen
the Moon.
Moon is alsb strengthened
by
wearing
white
clothes
and eating of white
ediblelhings.
The
ashes
(bholsmas)
of pearl
are alJo useful'in
such cases but
they should
be taken under

causing alllictton should be
propitiated.
MARS
With Aries as the Ascendant, tts lord Mars is fully
representative
of the longevity
of the natlve as he is lord
of
the Ascendant and the 8th house. Such Mars, if falls under
the evil inlluence of Saturn and Rahu, he becomes cause of
short lfe. It is, therefore, necessary
to strengthen Mars to
prolong
the life of the native by advising the native to wear
a red coral in gold
or copper ring and to
propitiate
the planet
alllicting Mars in the
prescribed
manner.
If Scorpio be the ascendant, Mars will be fully representailve
of blood. If such Mars be alflicted by conjuction or aspect by
Saturn, Rahu etc, the native will suffer from the ill effects of
pollution
of blood. For puri$tng
the blood, the native should
strengthen Mars by wearing
coral in a siluer rrng
so that the
Moon, another representative
of blood, and Mars get
their
normal
strength. Saturn and Rahu should be propitiated.
If Mars as lord ofAscendant, or otherwise, be
posited
in the
6th, 8th or l2th and be under the inJluence
of malefics
without a benefic influence,

In thts situation Mars should be strengthened by
the native wearing a red coral in a silver ring. The maleflcs
alllicting Mars should be propitiated.
If Mars be connected wlth the Ascendant, its lord, the 4th.
its lord and Moon by conjuction or aspect, the native will
become inclined towards violence
and can commit even a
murder. Such Mars should not be strengthened but
propitiated.
If Mars as lord of Ascendant
be posited
in the 4th in his
sign of debiliation
(Cancer),
he can cause dtseases of the
chest. The native should be advised to wear red coral in a
silver ring to strengthen Mars and Moon so that there may
be no loss of longevity, health and wealth.
If Mars and Ketu by conjuction or aspect alllict the Sth, its
lord and Jupiter, the children of the native die in infancv or

If the lord of the 5th is

are born but do not survive'
In such
ctrcuirstanes
the lord of the 5th should be strengthened
by the native
weartng the appropriate
gem and Mars and
Ketu should be
propiuated ln the manner already described
earller.
The 7th house in the man's horoscope
represents his wife
and
in the female's
horoscope
her husband. T:he karaka
(signilicator) or 7th house ln a man's horoscope is Venus
arr-d itt the female's horoscope
the karaka
is Jupiter'
When
the 7th house, its lord and Venus are alllicted
in a man's
horoscope, the wife of the native is likely to die. If, ln a female's
horoscope, the 7th house,
its lord and Jupiter are afllicted,
she loses her husband.
As Mars is a known killer, our
ancients
have, therefore'
described
as evil, every disposition
of Mars in which he is likely to kitl the
partner of the natlve.
Thus if Mars ls in Ascendant

(ln
a man's or female's
horoscope) ,
Manglik Yogais formed'
and the natlve is called Manglik ot ManglL If Mars be in the
Ascendant,
4th or 12th, he will be throwing
his killer aspect
on the 7th. If he is in the 7th his
presence will have the same
effect.
If he is in 2nd or 8th
(from
8th he will aspect
Znd)' he
will be causing
harm to the longwity of the
partner as 2nd
ls 8th to 7th. it may, however, be noted that Mars will not'
always
from such
positions, be able to kill the
partner'
because
it is
possible that the lord of the
7th and Venus in
a man's
horocope and
lord of the
7th and Jupiter in female
horoscope
be very well
placed and strong neutralising

If Mars

the

also be kept in mind that the lords

If Mercury

REMEDI,AL MEASURES IN ASTROIOGY
If Mercury as lord of the 2nd and the 2nd house fall under
the separative influence of Sun, Saturn or Rahu, the native
gets into the habit of runnin$ away from his family house.
In such a situation, the native should wear an emerald and
the malefic causing the trouble should be
propitiated.
If Mercury, as lord of the 2nd, is with Venus; and Mars and
Ketu alflict them and the 2nd house, the native's wife is likely
to die. In such a case if the lord of the 7th is strong, the native
may be able to avert the tragedy if he wears together or
separately emerald and dlamond
in a sllver
ring. Sirnilarly if
tn a female's birth chart Mercury as lord of 2nd be with
Jupiter; and Mars and Ketu affict them and the 2nd house,
the nativemaybecome awidow.
However' itmaybe
possible
to avert the tragedy by the native wear'mg a

Ketu
will have to be

the
native's father may have
permature death. The reason is that
4th house being 8th to
gth
is the house of longwity for father
and the lord of 9th and Sun
wlll represent father. In such a
situation the native should be advised to wear together or
separately both blue sapphire and emerald

to
propitiate the concened malefic
planets in the

in the major

sub

because

In such a case Mercury should be
strengthened by the naUve wearing an emerald

Rahu should be

If Juptter as lord of 9th be weak and alllicted the
consequences
will be-
(a)
The natlve will sulferlosses through
government olficlals
and
gove-rnment.
CI
The husband of the younger sisterwill have short life.
(c)
If Jupiter and the Sun be together, and be afflicted, the
longwity of the father is adversely affected.
In such a situation,
yellow sapphire should be worn by the
native in a
gold ring to strengthen Jupiter.
If Jupiter, as lord of the loth, be weak and alllicted, the
native will have setbacks in his
profession, loss of wealth and
disgrace and dishonour.
The loth being 2nd to 9th the
native's fatherwill have financial losses. To strengthen such
Juptter, the native should wear a yellow sapphire in a
gold
rlng and
propitiate the malefics afllicting Jupiter.
If Jupiter, as lord of 1lth, be weak and aIllicted, the native
wlll incur financial losses and his relations with his elder
brother will be adversely affected. Here again, Jupiter will
require to be strengthened by the native wearing a yellow
sapphire and the malefics afflictin$ Jupiter will have to be
propitlated.
If, as lord of the 12th, Jupiter ls weak and alllicted by
Saturn and Rahu, the native is likely to suffer from insomnla.
Here we should not strengthen Jupiter because a strong lord
of the 12th is likely to cause other complications
for the
naUve. Therefore, only
propltiation should be done forJupiter
as well as for Saturn and Rahu.
Venus
In a man's horoscope Venus is significator
for his wife. If
Venus be alllicted alongwith the 7th and its lord, the natlve
is likelyto remain unmarried. If there is benefic influence on
them alongwith evil inJluence of Sun, Saturn or Rahu, he may
get married but the marriage is likelyto end in separation or
divorce.
For the Libra Ascendant, Venus is lord of the Ascendant
and the 8th. He, therefore, fully represents the longevity of

the native. If Venus be alllicted by malefics and there be no
beneflc influence, the longwity of the native urillbe adversely
affected. In such a situation Venus should be strengthened
by the native wearing a diamond in a silver ring. The malefics
aflhcting
Venus should be
propitiated.
If Venus for an Aries ascendant native be alllicted the native
incurs financial losses and htswife always remains sickly for
which the native has to incur lot of expenditure. To escape
from such difficulties the native should wear a diamond to
strengthen Venus and
propitiate the malefics afflictin$ Venus.
It should, however, be noted that when Aries iE the
Ascendant, Venus is lord of two marakahauses 2nd and 7th.
Therefore, if the native's horoscope does not indicate long life
or he is in his old age or is seriously ill, he should not wear
a dlamond.
For the natives of LeoAscendants Venus is lord of the 3rd
and loth. If Venus is afflicted the native will suffer on account
of his brothers and wtll also have setbacks in his professional
career. In such a situation it may prove useful for the native
to wear a diamond and to
propitiate
the malefics a{Ilicting
Venus.
For the natlves of Aquarius Ascendant, Venus is a
Yqakarakaplanet being lord of the 4th and 9th. If Venus be
weak and alllicted the native will suffer immensely. His
domestic life will be disturbed,
his mother maybecome sickly
and he may suffer losses if he is engaged in transportation
buslness and he will have misfortune in all hisventures. His
father is also likely to suffer. It will, therefore, be
very
necessary for the natives of thlsAscendant to wear a diamond
in a silver orwhite
gold ring to strengthen Venus. The malefics
alllicting Venus should be
propitiated.
If Gemint be the Ascendant and Venus in the Sth or 12th
be alllicted the native will incur financial losses on account
of his beloved
(mistress).
In such cases the native should wear
a diamond to strengthen
Venus and cut off his connectlon
with the mistress.
If Taurus be the Ascendant, and Venus be alllicted, the
native is likely to suffer from many kinds of diseases as Venus

He should also

For

He should, therefore,
wear a blue sapphire

For the
natlves of sagittarius

Saturn

by wearlng a yellow

agatnst wearlng yellow
sapphtre alongwlth blue sapphlre.
Therefore,
Jupiter may also be propitiated
alongwith the Mars
and Rahu.
Saturn ln the 6th irr a friendly stgn is not bad for health
but if he be in the 6th tn an inimical
sign, he is likelyto cause
chronic health problems.
The remed5r is to propitiate
such
Saturn and not to strengthen the lord of the 6th. Instead
the
lord of the Ascendant should be strengthened by the native
wearing the appropriate gem.
If Saturn as lord of the 7th ts weak and allltcted, he
adversely affects the longwity of wife or husband. But the
remedy is not to strengthen Saturn by the native wearing
blue
sapphire as 7th 7s maraka sthruta but to
propitiate
Saturn
as well
as the planets
alllicting him.
If Saturn as lord of 8th is weak and allltcted, the longevity
of the native is likely to be adversely alfected. The remed5r is
not to strengthen Saturn but to strengthen the lord of the
Ascendant by the nattue weartng the appropriate gem.
Saturn
and the planets
alfecting him should be propitiate(,
Saturn as a strong lord of 9th is beneficial to the native in
all respects. If such Saturn is weak and allltcted, he should
be strengthened by the native wearing
a blue sapphlre. The
same applieswhen Saturn is lord ofthe loth and I lth. When
lord of the l2th, he will be either lord of llth and l2th or
Saturn ls l2th and Ascendant. There is, therefore, no harm
ln strengthentng such Saturn when necessary.
RAHU AND KETU
Rahu and Ketu are shadowy planets.
Generally they are
treated as malefics but they become very benelictal when they
are conJoined with Yqakaraka planets.
Only when they
become beneficial their
gemstones
should be used to
strengthen them. Otherwise they should always be
propitiated.
Further the gems
of Rahu and Ketu
(gomedhand,
cat's eye) should be worn, when necessaqr,
only in their major
periods.
