matter to Brihaspati. He wanted Taaraa. So this must have been due to

some attractive force with her. In astrology Budh (Mercury) is considered the Number One enemy, while

the Moon does not consider him so.--So if placement of Budh is in Kark (Cancer) Raashi which is Moon's ownRaashi, Budh will have least power and thus the native's intelligence could

be low. It is a general statement.

--If a person has strong Budh in Lagna, all his intelligence is found waveringin nature. This is by observation. How does a Nakshatra play an important role in persons life?

Nakshatra are lunar mansions and they have certain qualities and the have a

lordship of a planet and also sub lords etc.. The lord and Sub-lord planetsassert an influence on the Nakshatra (and planet in that Nakshatra) e.g.

mars in Aries will give generally good results (being own house), but the

results are modified by the Nakshatra it is placed in. In Aries it can be inAshwinee, Bharanee or Krittikaa, whose lords are Ketu, Venus and Moon

respectively. Does a Nakshatra for a person is always lucky for him? I mean to say if a

person needs to carry a new task or an important task like taking board

exams, if they take it when the Moon is in their Raashi (eventually in theirNakshatra Pad) would it prove better for the results?

There are 27 Nakshatra, and they are divided into 9 groups with the MoonNakshatra as your first or Janam Nakshatra. These are arranged as per

the natural sequence they occur in Raashi etc and the 10th and 19th

Nakshatra will fall under first group. These 9 groups of 3 Nakshatra eachare deemed as auspicious/ inauspicious, helpful etc for the native. So the Nakshatra that are lucky, will always be lucky for the native

throughout his life?Nakshatra also have certain qualities and certain activities are moreauspicious when taken in these Nakshatra eg for endings or termination

Revatee Nakshatra etc is good, but for new beginnings, Ashwinee

Nakshatra is good. You can also look at Nakshatra falling in the 6th groupof Nakshatra (of the 9 groups) that will give Saadhanaa or achievement to

the native (see Taaraa, and Saadhanaa Taaraa). So there will be 3

Nakshatra in this group. and whenever the Moon transits these, it will give

success.

Does the Nakshatra play any importance in Muhoort science? Nakshatra are essential in Muhoort charts. As eg I will give you theplanetary transit for today, where the Moon transits Revatee Nakshatraand later into Ashwinee Nakshatra and its respective indications.

Chandramaa (Moon)-2: Why Chandramaa Wanes and Waxes? Prajaapati Daksh had many daughters, so he married 27 of them to

Chandramaa and asked him to love his all daughters equally. But among his27 wives, Rohinee was more lovable to him, so he loved more than others.

When other daughters noticed this first they expressed it to Chandramaa,but when he did not pay much attention to it, they complained about this to

their father Daksh. Daksh again warned Chandramaa to treat all his wives

equally, but he didn't listen to and continued to love Rohinee more thanothers. When Daksh repeatedly warned him about this, and Chandramaa

repeatedly ignored him, Daksh cursed him to "lose his all splendor and be ill

with tuberculosis". Hearing this Chandramaa got very sad and asked for Daksh's forgiveness.Daksh said - "My words cannot go lie." Then Chandramaa prayed Shiv Jee

and pleased him. Shiv then relaxed Daksh's curse into 15 days of waxingand 15 days of waning. Since then Chandramaa has been waxing and waningfor 15 days each. Pleased with this Chandramaa built a gold temple in

Prabhaas Kshetra - Somnaath Temple, one of the 12 Jyotir Ling. LaterRaavan built it in silver.

Cause of Lunar Eclipse Shukraachaarya is the Guru of Daitya. Once he did severe penance for Shiv

Jee, and asked a Mantra to revive the dead. Thus he obtained the Manthracalled - Mrit Sanjeevanee Mantra because it could give life even to a dead.

Shukraachaarya Jee used this Mantra to revive the dead Daitya in theDevaasur Sangraam. So in the battles between Devtaa and Daitya, Devtaa

were dying and Daitya were getting revived outnumbering Devtaa.

Brihaspati Jee, Dev Guru, did not know any such Mantra. The situation wasalarming and Devtaa approached Vishnu Jee for a solution as usual. Vishnu

Jee suggested them to obtain nectar by churning milky ocean. By consumingeven a little nectar Devtaa could be immortal and then there was noquestion of dying. But the task was not so simple. Finally it was decided to

get the help of Daitya also who could do hard works, and share nectar with

them in exchange. They churned the sea using Vaasuki Naag as the rope, Mandar Mountain as

the churning rod, the churning started. Daitya held the head portion of

Vasuki and Devtaa the tail. During churning many things appeared. After

Lakshmee, God Dhanvantari appeared from the sea carrying a nectar pot inone hand and a book of Aayur Ved in his second hand. Daitya were powerful,

http://www.sushmajee.com/shiv/jyotirling/1-somnaath.htm






so they snatched the nectar pot from Dhanvantari and ran away. Seeing

this Vishnu appeared as Mohinee, took the nectar pot from Daitya's handsand started distributing nectar to Devtaa and liquor to Daitya.

Raahu Daitya was noticing this so he came and sat between Chandra andSoorya assuming the form of a Devtaa. Mohinee gave the nectar to himalso, but as soon as he drank it, Soorya and Chandra recognized him and

Chandra gave a signal to Mohinee. Immediately Mohinee took out Her

Chakra and cut his neck, but by that time he had already drank nectar, sohis both parts did not die, rather they both became immortal. Since then

Raahu developed the enmity with Chandra and Soorya and he seeks the

opportunity to eat them. He gets it on Amaavasyaa Day (New Moon Day) to

eat Soorya and on Poornimaa day (Full Moon Day) to eat Chandra - commonly

called Solar Eclipse and Lunar Eclipse. Raahu moves always in a path opposing Moon. Due to fear of Raahu opposing,

Moon moves quickly, mostly without coming under his eyes. Raahu movesslowly knowing "Slow and steady" is a better way to get opposing Moon. The

purpose of Raahu is to keep the Moon slightly frightened. When Raahu

recollects, the old incidents, he does make a careful watch on Moon andstops him and tries to keep him in his mouth, but after some time he

releases him. This period is called Grahan (eclipse). When Raahu is very

angry the period is more for the eclipse. Raahu is normally very angry withMoon. Since the Sun also favored Moon in telling about Raahu's disguise,

but kept quiet, his enmity is less with the Sun. Hence there are only one ortwo Solar Eclipses for short duration. Taraa Balam Chandra Balam Tathaiv… After being appointed by Brahmaa Jee as the in charge of all herbs andtrees, Chandramaa was in his all fames, so he decided to conduct a bigYagya and all Devtaa were invited including Dev Guru Brihaspati. Brihaspati

Jee had three wives by name Shubhaa, Mamataa and Taaraa. Of the threeTaaraa appeared much more handsome and impressive and Chandramaa felt

to take Taaraa with him to the Yagya. Taaraa was actively and impressively

participating in the Yagya keeping her appearance at her best. Seeing herChandramaa got very much attracted towards her and finally he abducted

her. Brihaspati Jee asked Chandramaa to return his wife to him, but he was

not ready to give her back to Brihaspati Jee. Guru asked many times,requested through mediators and finding no reaction of Chandramaa, a war

was started between them. It continued for years. No end of war was in

sight from either side.



Finally Brahmaa Jee had to intervene to end this and ordered Chandramaa

to return Taaraa to Brihaspati. Chandramaa had to heed to Brahma'sorders, as at this stage, he smelled bad consequences if not obeyed him; sohe coolly returned Taaraa and Taaraa joined Guru back and Guru was also

happy to get her back. Now Taaraa had already conceived from Chandramaaby the time she came back to Guru. In due course she delivered a son. He

was very shiny and intelligent so Brahmaa Jee named him Budh and on

asking whose son he was, Taaraa kept mum, then the child said - "Whydon't you tell him the truth." Then Taaraa told Brahmaa Jee that he was

Chandramaa's son. So Budh came to be known as Chandramaa's son. Whatever the different interpretations, the most logical interpretation is

that Chandramaa had already 27 wives and Guru had already two wives,

then why Chandramaa desired Taaraa specifically and why did Guru alsowant her specifically? Maybe because she had some sort of force or Power

(Bal), that is why Chandramaa also desired her and Guru also wanted herback. Chandramaa's Effect on Prithvi Surprisingly Chandramaa's effect on Earth is very visible. Who doesn't

know that he causes low tide on Amaavasyaa (No Moon) day and high tide onPoornimaa (Full Moon) day. The Moon attracts the sea water to itself

causing tides and the Sun hinders the action of Moon in lowering the tides.Tides are caused by the gravitational pulls of the Sun and the Moon. TheSun's influence on tides is less than half that of the Moon, because the Sun

is too far away. Sharad Poornimaa (Poornimaa normally falling in October (Aashwin

Poornimaa) is the day when Chandramaa rains Amrit (nectar and people keepsweets made from milk under its bright light to collect that Amrit in thosesweets and eat them the next morning. There are some festivals also on

which women break their fast after seeing Chandramaa, such as KaravaaChauth. Legend Has That the Moon and the Sun Were Equally Bright? As mythology goes, the Sun and the Moon were originally equally bright. Butthe gods did not think this was a good idea, so they took a hare and threw

it at the face of the Moon. The hare struck the Moon and made a dark

blotch that dimmed the Moon's brightness, but it sure could not take awayits mystery.

Karavaa Chauth VratKaarttik Krishn 4th Karavaa Chauth (Karak Chauth) falls on Kaarttik Krishn Chaturthee. ThisVrat or fast or day is observed by married women (Suhaagin) for ensuringwedded bliss and wishing long life for their husbands and children. A

married woman who observes this Vrat is called Saubhaagyavatee (joyousand happy state of wifehood). On this occasion, a Kalash (small container) is filled with either milk orwater. In that Kalash is placed Panch Ratn (five pieces of different metals

gold, silver, copper, brass and iron). The Kalash is then presented to a

Braahman and also exchanged with other married women. While thuspresenting the Kalash, a wishful prayer is offered to Lord Ganesh - "Let

the offerings of this Karavaa (Karak) gift bring long life to my husband andmay my Saubhaagya be everlasting". And express such desire that "May mydeath precede that of my husband so that I can enter the Chitaa (funeral

pyre) as a bride (not as a widow). This Kathaa (narrative) first took place between Shiv and Paarvatee. Shiv

told Paarvatee about the significance of Karavaa Chauth Vrat. In Dwaapar

Yug, Draupadee asked Lord Krishn about the Vrat of Karavaa Chauth.Thereafter, the very first time this Vrat was observed in the town ofShukraprasth by Veeravatee, the daughter of Vedsharma and Leelavati.

Ever since this Vrat has been observed by married women till the present

day. On the occasion of Karavaa Chauth, fasting (Vrat) is observed. In the

evening, after taking a bath, under a banyan tree (or in the absence of such

tree, draw a picture of such tree) place Moorti or pictures of Shiv,

Paarvatee, Ganesh and Kaarttikeya and do Poojaa ceremony(Shodashopachaar or sixteen step Poojaa ceremony). When the Moon has

risen, they do Chandra Darshan from behind the Chhalanee (sieve), worshiphim, then see the face of their husband and touch his feet. Only after that

they can take water and eat the food. On this day in some families

Baayanaa is also given to appropriate person along with some money. If the husband is present, then worship him with Panchopachaar or Gandh,Pushp, Dhoop, Deep and Naivedya (perfume, flower, incense, lamp and food).

If the husband is away on travels, then offer a prayer to Almighty to grantlong life to your husband. Thereafter bring the Vrat to its conclusion.

Its origin goes to Mahaabhaarat times. When Arjun went to Neelgiri

Parvat, Paandav had to face lots of difficulties. Draupadee was very sadseeing them in so much difficulty, so she remembered Krishn and expressedher concern. Krishn told her to observe Karavaa Chauth referring her to

Paarvatee. Paarvatee had also observed this fast for her husband Shiv Jee.Married women observe it by praying for Saubhaagya, acquire Saubhaagya,

progeny and lasting prosperity. Story For Karavaa Chauth The following story is told and heard at the time of Poojaa :

There was a girl who had seven brothers. All the seven brothers used tolove her very much because she was their only little sister. They could not

see her in any kind of grief and sorrow. When she grew up into a fine young

woman, she was married in a nearby village. After her marriage, on the dayof her first Karavaa Chauth she came home to celebrate it. She with her allseven sisters-in-law observed the fast. Because she was a very beloved sister of her seven brothers, all thebrothers kept asking her as when she will take the food. They came to knowthat she can eat only after the Chandra Darshan, and the Moon will rise

very late. Out of love, one brother brought a good heap of hay, the secondbrother carried it and climbed on a tree; the third brother set the fire to

it; her fourth brother brought a Chhalanee to show her the Moon; the fifthbrother rushed to call her for Chandra Darshan. Their mother said - "It isvery early, how come that the Moon has risen so early? There is something

wrong." But when that girl came outside she also saw the Moon rising, so

she got convinced. She called her sisters-in-law also to worship the Moon,but they said, "You are the beloved sister of seven brothers, so this is your

Moon. Our Moon will rise late in the evening." Brothers insisted her sister to do Poojaa, so she did. After the Poojaa, she

sat for her meal. As she started taking her food, a piece of hair came withthe first bite, second time she started taking her food, somebody sneezed,

and when she started third time a messenger came from her husband's

house, saying that her husband was very ill and he has come to take herwith him. She left her food as it was, and rushed to her home. After

reaching home she found her husband was lying pricked with many needles

in his whole body. He was lying senseless. She wept and wept. After sometime the Moon rose, her sisters-in-law came one by one to give her

Baayanaa saying, "Lo Suhaagan Baayana lo, Bhaiyon kee pyaaree Baayana lo".



When her eldest sister-in-law came, she asked her the remedy of her

sorrow. She said, "Ask the next one". When the next one came, she alsosaid the same to her, "Ask the next one". Thus all her sisters-in-law passedone by one saying "Ask the next one" but no one told her anything. When

her youngest sister-in-law came, she held her feet tight and said, "I willnot let you go until you tell me the remedy." The sister-in-law said, "Sister,

now you serve your husband for one full year. Take out one needle everyday

from his body. When the next Karavaa Chauth comes, you do your fastsincerely, he will be all right." She did the same for one full year, but on the last day, on the day of

Karavaa Chauth, when he was about to wake up, she fell sleep. She was so

hungry and tired. Her maid servant was also very beautiful, when her

husband woke up he saw the maid servant and thought she was his wife. Themaid servant could not say no. After a while when the real wife woke up,

she saw that their maid had taken her place. She pleaded her husband thatshe was his real wife and she served him so sincerely for one full year, and

now he does not recognize her. Although it took some time but at last she

was able to convince him. God should protect all the husbands for all wives. On this day normally any

work which involves any thing with a sharp needle such as sewing or knitting

etc are prohibited.

Sharad PoornimaaAashwin Poornimaa Sharad Poornimaa is celebrated on Aashwin Poornimaa. It is believed that

on this night the Moon showers the cool nectar of peace along with the

eternal nourishing power on the earth. It makes the mind peaceful and

reduces the effect of ‘Pitta, one should acquire this important moonlight onthis night. Ved Vyaas Jee has described the night of ‘Sharad Poornimaa’ as the night

of the Raasotsav (Raas celebrations) of the incarnation of Krishn on theEarth in Bhaagvat Puraan's 10th Skandh, , because unlike the Moon

showering the cool nectar Krishn too, showered ‘Bhakti Ras' on the Earth.

This day is celebrated with full enthusiasm in Brij. It is also believed to be the day of manifestation of Swaamee Kaarttikeya.

http://www.sushmajee.com/bhagvatjee/kathaa/skandh10/uttaraardh/u10index.htm






On this day Pohaa (Chivadaa, or puffed rice, or beaten rice, or parched

rice) made from new rice along with Kheer, are prepared and left in themoonlight between 9 pm and 12 pm for overnight and then are eaten thenext morning. Gold ornaments are also placed in the pot in which the Kheer

is cooked. One should never add raisins in any of the milk preparations,though cashew nuts and Charoli (Chiraunjee) can be added. The Prasaad

thus prepared should be taken after the Satsang and performing Poojaa,

Jap, Dhyaan with the feeling of gaining good health, self cool andprosperity. White puffed rice, white milk, white sugar and also the moonlight being all

white in color…. hence this occasion can also be called "Dhawal Utsav"

where Dhaval means white. The Moon is at the closest point to the Earth on this day and its bright

rays have their own curative properties. The rays fall on the food or drinks

that are consumed, and help in curing the disorder of Pitta and avoid manyother trivial diseases and makes the body healthy.

As the Lord says :Pushnaami Cha Aushadhi : Sarvaa Somo Bhootwaa Rasaatmak

I provide strength to the medicines in the form of Moon.

Moon represents calmness in the spiritual form, It is not that there were

no problems in the life of Krishn, in fact the Lord faced problems from the

very moment of His birth. Raam enjoyed only pleasures in life… this is also

untrue, He was exiled at the time of his coronation, but still he was calm,and did not lose His patience. Sharad Poornimaa is also known as "Kojaagaree Poonam", the festival is

celebrated on Asauj (Aashwin) Shuddh 15 - Poornimaa. Lakshmee, thegoddess of wealth moves around in the night sky, asking "Ko jaagrati",

searching for people below who are awake. "Ko jaagarti" means, ‘"Who is

awake?" And to those who are awake she gifts wealth. Origin of the Festival:(1) The Sanatkumaar Sanhitaa cites the story of "Kojaagari Poonam". In theSanhitaa, Baalkhilyaadi Rishi narrates that in ancient times, a poorBraahman named Valit lived in Magadh Desh - Bangaal. While he was a

learned and virtuous man, his wife reveled in quarreling, behaving totallyopposite to his wishes. Once on his father’s Shraaddh, she flung the Pind -ball of wheat flour - in a sewage pit, rather than the sacred Gangaa, as

http://www.sushmajee.com/vrat-festivals/misc-topics/recipes.htm






custom required. This infuriated Valit. Therefore he renounced home to

search for wealth. In the forests, he met some Naag Kanyaa (girls ofKaaliya Naag’s ancestry). These Naag Kanyaa had performed the KojaagareeVrat - staying awake on Asauj Shuddh Poonam. They then sat gambling with

Valit. Valit lost everything. At that moment, Vishnu and His consortLakshmee, happened to pass by. Since Valit had incidentally observed the

Kojaagaree Vrat, Lakshmee Jee graced him handsomeness similar to that of

Kaam Dev - the deity of love. Now attracted to him, the Naag Kanyaamarried Valit and gifted him their riches. He then returned home with the

riches, whence his wife received him warmly. After this episode, the

Sanhita declared that those who remain awake on this Poonam will begraced with wealth. (2) On this night, Krishn invited his faithful devotees, the Gopee of VrindaaVan, to play the Mahaa Raas (traditional folk-dance) with Him. They had

earned his grace by overlooking society’s disdain on them (Lok Laaj), tooffer Him unalloyed devotion. Pleased with such immutable love for Him,

Krishn initiated the Mahaa Raas, by assuming as many forms as there were

Gopee. Jayati te-dhikam janmanaa vrajah ….. (Bhaagvat Puraan, 10/31/1)

Describing the "Leelaa" in the Bhaagvat (10/30/25), Shuk Dev Jee narrates

to king Pareekshit: "O Parikshit, Of all nights, that night of Sharad Poonambecame the most resplendent. With the Gopee, Krishn roamed the banks of

the Yamunaa, as if imprisoning everyone in his Leelaa. One should remain vigilant at the gateway to God, not letting any mundane

objects through. Every moment in our lives requires vigilance and this initself becomes a subtle form of Tapas - austerity. Those who performed

severe austerities without vigilance, succumbed to Maayaa. Vishwaamitra

performed austerities for 60,000 years, but lost Jaagriti - vigilance - in

Menakaa’s company. Similarly, lack of vigilance toppled Saubhari Rishi, Shringee, Paraashar and others too. Just as the night sky of Sharad Poornimaa is clear and suffused with lunar

resplendence, the aspirant should similarly endeavor to purify hisAntahkaran. For this he has to eradicate body-consciousness and mundane

desires and imbibe Brahm-consciousness, in order to incessantly experience

Par-Brahm. (Geetaa 18/54, Shikshapatri 116). For this the aspirant needs

to seek the Gunaateet Saadhu, who is the gateway to Moksh (the Lord), as

proclaimed in the Bhaagvat (3/29/20):

Prasangamajaram paashamaatmanaha kavayo viduhu,

Sa eva saadhushu krato moksha dwaaram apaavratam.

Means, the sages decree that if a Jeev who is deeply attached to his body

and bodily relatives, if similarly attaches himself to the Gunaateet Saadhu,the doors of Moksh will be opened for him.

TIMING ACCURATE EVENTS WITH VIMSHOTTRI DASA BEPIN BEHARI

Dasa systems work very precisely. No astrological prediction is meaningful unless the same issynchronized with such a dasa system.

The unique feature of Indian System of astrological prediction is its quality of precision in revealing theperiodic ups and downs in the course of an individuals life. The natal chart shows the potential. The order of events is described under Dasa and Mahadasa system. It is only on the basis of this system that theastrologer can indicate whether the inherent potential of any planet can actually fructify during the course of anyone's life.The ancient seers have indicated various planetary orders which bring different planets inprominence at different periods during the course of ones life. But they have not given the clues or therationale for this order. They have assigned the course of these planets to be completed within certainnumber of years and within this total they have given different years of ruler ship to planets all of which arenot equal. The reason of the total number of years of the cyclic duration, the sequence of planetaryrulerships as well as the periods of their rulership is still a well guarded secret which is not known.

Nonetheless, these Dasa systems work remarkably precisely and no astrological predictions is meaningfulunless the same is synchronised with such a system.

Parashar has mentioned ten of these system as very important. They are known as Vimsottari, Ashtottari, Sodashottari, Dwasashottari, Panchottari, Shatshama, Chaturshityabda,Dwisaptatisama, Khastyabda and Sattrisadvatsara. Besides these, he also noted that there wereseveral astrologers who also take into consideration Kala Dasa, Chakra Dasa and Kala ChakraDasa. Parashara was also aware of several other systems of these planetary periodicity but hedid not consider them very reliable......

The applicability of various Dasa systems in any specific individual depends upon time, place and the specialplanetary combinations present in the horoscope. The details of these factors are not generally available

though some astrologers are found to apply a few of these Dasa Systems according to their individualprediction. Vimsottari Dasa, in spite of such a large number of Dasa Systems existing in astrological treatises,at present remains the most popular and universally acceptable system which has been giving very preciseresults.

The beginning of any planetary rulership in the case of an individual depends upon the Moonsoccupancy in a nakshatra, while the planetary rulership over different nakshatras begins withSun as the ruler of Krittika and follows the same sequence throughout the nakshatra chain.

Vimsottari Dasa is based on the position of Moon at the time of birth in a specific nakshatra. The period of rulership of any planet at the time of birth depends upon the rulership of the planet on the nakshatra. Thesequence of rulership of these planets follows a particular order, the rationale of which is still not known.This order is as follows: Sun, Moon, Mars, Rahu, Jupiter, Saturn, Mercury, Ketu and Venus. The periodicrulership of the planets in any ones life, under this Dasa System also follows the same sequence. It impliesthat the beginning of any planetary rulership at the time of birth of an individual may be any one of these



planets but once this is determined, the following periods of rulership must adhere to this sequence. That is,if the initial rulership period starts, say, with Saturn, then the next Dasa Period would be that of Mercuryfollowed by Ketu and so on; if the initial rulership begins with say, Mars, then the following Dasa periodwould be that of Rahu, followed by Jupiter and so on.

The planetary sequence is the same in the case of planets rulership over different nakshatras. At birth under

the Krittika nakshatra, that is, if the birth of the individual occurred when Moon was occupying Krittikanakshatra at the time of birth, the ruling planetary period would be that of Sun. Rohini follows Krittika, andany birth in Rohini nakshatra would have Moon as the ruling planet, and at Mrigashirsa that of Mars. Theentire 27 nakshatras are divided in three rounds of planetary rulership each of these having the samesequence of planetary rulerships as indicated above. So the sequence of planetary rulership in the case of anindividuals life as well as in the case of nakshatra rulership is the same: the beginning of any planetaryrulership in the case of an individual depends upon the Moons occupancy in a nakshatra, while the planetaryrulership over different nakshatras begins with Sun as the ruler of Krittika and follows the same sequencethroughout the nakshatra chain.

The total planetary rulership under Vimsottari Dasa amounts to 120 year while in Ashtottari it is equal to only108 years which shows that the total duration is not uniform for every dasa system.

The 120 years of total Vimsottari Dasa is allocated to different planets as follows : Sun 6 years;Moon 10 years; Mars 7 year; Rahu 18 years; Jupiter 16 years, Saturn 19 years; Mercury 17 years; Ketu 7 years; and Venus 20 years. These years of planetary rulerships according to somevalid reason through the same is not know to us.

An important point to note is the way of calculating the initial balance of a planet at birth. It has beenindicated above that the rulership of any planet starts according to Moons placement in nakshatra. Eachnakshatra consists of 13° 20 of a sign of the zodiac. Aries starts with Ashwini nakshatra. It can, on the basisof information given above, be found out that this nakshtra is ruled by Ketu. It implies that a person born atthe 0° of Aries which tantamount to 0° of Ashwini, and this portion of the sign of the zodiac is ruled by Ketu,will have the whole 7 years of Ketu at birth as balance to enjoy. The entire area of 0° 0 of Aries to 13° 20 of

it which is under Ashwini is ruled by Ketu. But the individual may not be born at the very beginning of theasterism. The area already traversed and the remaining area yet to be covered by the Moon at birth willhave to be taken into account for the determination of the period of Ketu yet to be enjoyed by the individualborn. Assuming the individual was born when Moon was at 6° 40of Aries that is, half-way through Ashwini,the Ketu balance at birth would be only 3 years and 6 months. Depending upon the distance yet to becovered by Moon in the asterism, the period has to be proportionately changed. Let us take anotherexample. Assume that the Moon has gone further and is presently traversing Bharani which extends from13° 20of Aries to 26° 40of the same sign. If there is another birth when Moon was at 16° 40of this zodiac,then Venus would be the ruling planet and the distance between 13° 20to 2640will have to be divided over20 years which is the ruling period of Venus as against 7 years of Ketu. Moon at this new birth time hastraversed only one fourth of the total distance, so only one fourth of its total rulership period has elapsed.This new born will have 15 years of Venus still to undergo after his or her birth.

IMPACT OF RAHU ON THE NAKSHATRAS OF PLANET

According to BhgyaSamhita Astrology all planets have three Nakshatras and transit of planet ina Nakshatradecides its impact on a native. Here in this article I will discuss the impact of transition of Rahu on planets from Jupiter to Ketu.

RELATION OF RAHU AND NAKSHATRAS OF JUPITER

Astrology says that similar to all other planets Jupiter also has three Nakshatras: Punarvasu,Vishakha and Purvabhadrapada. A person’s financial steadiness is strengthened even during

the Dasha of Rahu if Jupiter is auspiciously placed and Rahu is located in any of the aboveNakshatras. A person’searningsrises and he leads a happy family life. He or she can enjoy allknowing pleasures and receives acclamation in the society.

Vedic Astrology says that weakened Jupiter in a horoscope may causedisappointment anddifficulties in work. It may be an indication of loss of wealth. The native having this arrangementin the horoscope may face needlesshumiliation and even a defeat. So the person should bemore careful and take necessarily precautions.

COMBINATION OF RAHU WITH NAKSHATRAS OF VENUS

According to Vedic Astrology thegrouping of Venus and Rahu gives good results as they areconsidered as mutual friends. Vedic astrology says that Bharani, Purvaphalguni andPurvasadha are the nakshatras of Venus. If Rahu is placed in any one of these Nakshatras inits Dasha period then the person may get benefits from things related to Venus. His allsubstantial wishes are fulfilled. The person may own automobiles, expensive clothes and

jewellery. Other girls may be fascinated to him and he will enjoy good relationships withthem.On the other hand, a weakened Venus means more anxiety and sorrow. Astrologers saythat the person may face damages and humiliation due to women. Ill-health and obstacles inwork are common troubles the person may get.

COMBINATION OF RAHU WITH NAKSHATRAS OF SATURN

According to Vedic astrological principles Saturn and Rahu are both malefic planets and thusthey are considered as the mutual friends. Pushya, Anuradha and Uttarabhadrapada are thenakshatras of Saturn. Location of Rahu in any of these Nakshatras in its illness period becomesas malefic as Saturn and will cause cast its impact on a native.

The respective person may have physical troubles so the native may feel pain in bones.Repeated falling and ill health are some negative impacts of Rahu. The person may feelinterested to non-vegetarian food. There may be a lot of troubles in married life.BhaygyaSamhita says things can deteriorate and it can cause a divorce. But an auspiciousSaturn causes hard work with wealth and success as per astrologers.

COMBINATION OF RAHU WITH ITS NAKSHATRAS

According to Vedic Astrology Ardra, Swati and Shatavisha are considered as the Nakshatras of Rahu. Astrogers says that Rahu gives mental and physical problems to its native if it is situatedin its own Nakshatra. A person may suffer from arthritis and have frequent falls and continuoustension in life.According to BhagyaSamhita Astrology malefic Rahu can create distancebetween native and hisspouce. Rahu in this place may cause needlessspending and insult inthe society, friends and family.

COMBINATION OF RAHU AND NAKSHATRAS OF KETU

Vedic astrology says that Ketu is considered as a natural inauspicious planet like Rahu. Ashwini, Magha and Moola are the Nakshatras of Ketu. Astrologers say that if Rahu is placed in

any one of these Nakshatras then its native may face several diff iculties in life.

The person may have bone diseases and there are chances of snake biting so native should bemore careful. Astrologers say that the native can increase his enemies and his family may facefinancial crisis. He can loss his trust as people distrust him and his domestic life becomesproblematic. Auspicious Ketu can cause financial stability, purchasing new house and land.

Along with the native may have a successful profession and enjoys a prosperous life with all thecomforts.

VEDIC ASTROLOGY AND KALA BALA OF PLANETS

Mathematical astrology is as important as Predictive astrology in astrology. It is a base throughwhich astrology determines the Nakshatra and planetary positions and forecasts there by. Herein this article l will discuss Kala Balawhich is a piece of Shad-Bala by which planetary strengthsis measured.

KaalaBala means the time Weakness. Exactly we can say that the planets obtain Time Strength

which is permanent from various sources. Time Strength is sub-divided in to six parts namely,NataunnataBala (diurnal strength), PakshaBala (Moon phase strength), TribhagaBala (day nightstrength), Varsha, Maas, Dina Bala (Year, month, day strength), YuddhaBala (planetary war strength) and AyanBala (equinoctial strength). Here in this article we will discuss about the firstthree sub-divisions of Time Strength of planets.

NATAUNNATA BALA

In NataunnataBala the Moon, Saturn and Mars are stronger during midnight and weaker duringmidday. The Sun, Jupiter and Venus get stronger at midday and are less strong at midnight. InTime Strength of planets Mercury always has full strength.The Sun, Moon and Mars acquire 60points when a native is born at midnight. Same planets receive 0 point when a native is born atafter noon time. The Sun, Jupiter and Venus get 60 points when a native is born during middayand has 0 point when a child is born during midnight.

PAKSHA BALA

The PakshaBala is connected with the lunar phase. There are two Pakshas in a month; theseare Krishna Paksha and ShuklaPaksha. A Paksha is of 15 days. According to Shad Balaauspicious planets are strong during Shuklapaksha. Jupiter, Moon and Venus have auspiciouseffect on Mercury for 8 days during Shukla and Krishna Paksha. These planets are strong inShuklaPaksha. The Sun, Mars and Saturn have inauspicious influence on Mercury for 8 daysduring the two Paksha. These planets are strong in Krishna Paksha.

The Moon has 120 points on New Moon and Full Moon day. Moon becomes strong with 60

points during the Paksha and extremelyeffects human lives. To see the strength of Paksha thedifference between the longitudes of Sun and Moon has to be found out. If the angle is greater than 180 degree then it has should be withdrew from 360 degrees. The result is divided by 3 toget the final result which is the Paksha strength of a planet. The formula to determine Pakshastrength of planet is- (Moon / Sun) = PakshaBala of the planet

TRIBHA BALA

In TribhagaBala the day and night are divided into three parts. Jupiter always gets 60 points inTribhagaBala. If a child is born at the first half of the day then his horoscope will have strongMercury with 60 points. If the birth time of a native is on the second half of the day then Sun isstrong with 60 points and if the birth has taken place in the third part of a day then Saturn is

strong in his horoscope with same opinions.

The Moon gets 60 opinions if a child is born in the first part of the night. Venus is strong in thehoroscope if a birth takes place on the second half of the night and Mars is strong with 60 pointsif a child is born in the third part of the night.

AUSPICIOUS MUHURTHA

CHILD ADOPTION AND AUSPICIOUS MUHURTHA

All of us want to fulfil our life with a child. There is no full happiness in a family life without thebirth of a child. Everyone wants to bless with a child. But some people are still empty from the

happiness of a child. Few people are compassionate to orphans and abandoned child in thesociety. They are keen to adopt a child. BhagyaSamhita Astrology says that a person shouldalways consider the right Muhurat for the adoption of a child if you want to adopt a child.













BhagyaSamhita says, child adoption is a very holy thing. Child adoption is brilliant if it is done ina good Muhurat. BhagyaSamhita says that if you adopt a child in an auspicious Muhurat thenyou can obtainhugecontentment and respect from the adopted child. Now BhagyaSamhita willtell youthe appropriateposition of nakshatra, week day, lunar day and Ascendant during theMuhurat of child adoption.

NAKSHATRA POSITIONIt is very important to consider Nakshatra while accepting a child. Astrology says thatPushya, Anuradha and PurvafalguniNakshatrasare auspicious for child adoption.

DATETHOUGHTDates also play an important role in thinking a good Muhurat for child adoption.

According to BhagyaSamhita,pratipada, 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th, 10th, 11th and 13th lunar days are decent for child adoption as these lunar days gives positive results in respectof child adoption of a couple.

DAYS THOUGHTJust like Nakshatra and lunar day, week days also play a vigorous role for selectingMuhurat for child adoption. According to BhagyaSamhitaastrology Sundays, Tuesdays,Thursdays and Fridays are auspicious week days for adopting a child.

ASCENDANT CONSIDERATION

According to BhagyaSamhita, it is very important for adopting a child, a couple mustcheck whether the Ascendant is auspicious in their horoscope or not. If there is anauspicious Ascendant in the 5th, 9th and 10th sign in the Muhurathoroscope then it willgive positive results to the couple who are going to adopt a child.

(2) MUHURTHA FOR NISHKRAMAN SANSKAR

The Nishkramansanskargrasps the 6th place in Sodashsanskar. This sanskar is known as the6th sanskar in Hinduism. Nishkramansanskar is done After the Naamkaran ceremony of a baby.

According to BhagyaSamhita astrological principles the Nishkramansanskar should be donefrom within 12th days of baby’s birth up to 4 months of his or her age. This Sanskar means that

in this occasion the child for the first time comes in to the interaction with this beautiful formationof God. The child is blessed in the rinses of Sun and Moon rays on this time. The child is givenSun’s blessings so that his or her character becomes as bright and huge like the Sun. AndMoon’s blessing is given to the child so that the child possesses calm and tranquilpotentials inher character.In short, in this ritual a child is desired to have a bright but calm environment. As thisritualaffects a lot a child’s life, thus BhagyaSamhita astrology gives Muhurat of this occasion.Now we will considerMuhurats for this sanskar as follows…..

NAKSHATRA THOUGHTShravan, Mrigashira, Ghanishtha, Punarwasu, Anuradha, Pushya andRevatiNakshatras are very auspicious for this ritual.

DATE CONSIDERATIONDate is a vivaciousfactor in a Muhurat. According to BhagyaSamhita all dates areauspicious for Nishkramansanskar except Riktatithi i.e. the 4th, 9th and 14th lunar days.That’s why these dates should be evaded and also new Moon day should also beavoided while doing NishkramanSanskar.

WEEK DAYS CONSIDERATION According to BhagyaSamhita astrology Sundays, Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdaysand Fridays are auspicious week days for accomplishmentof this Sanskar but Tuesdaysand Saturdays are inauspicious to celebrate this ritual Sanskar.

BHAGYA SAMHITA LIMITATIONSBhagyaSamhita astrology says the 3rd, 5th and 7th Tara is not auspicious andBhadradates is also very unfavourable for this occasion. Thus the days which haveinauspicious combination should be severely avoided for this ceremony.

SPECIAL FEATURESThere is a Sub-Sanskar which needs special affirming besides NishkramanSanskar.BhagyaSamhita astrology praisesShashthipujan to satisfy Goddess Kattyani on the 6th



















day from the child’s birth between Jatakarma and Nishkramansanskar. A ritual called DolaArohan is done on the 10th, 12th, 16th, 18th or 32nd day of thechild’s birth. For this sub-sanskar the above talk aboutNakshatra, date, week days areessential to make the ceremonial auspicious. Thus for this ritual the 5th Nakshatrabefore and 7th Nakshatra after Sun is considered to be very favourable for thisceremony.

Nakshatras or lunar mansions have a very special place in Vedic astrology. They are the

axis on which Vedic astrology revolves. Moon stays in one Nakshatra for one day. They are

mentioned in the ancient Indian Texts- the Artharva and Yajur Veda which lists all 27 of

them. Kalaprakashika is the standard ancient text which forms the base of the study of

Nakshatras.

In mythology the Nakshatras are considered to be the 27 daughters of Daksha Prajipat, the

Cosmic Helper charged by the creator of the universe Brahma to help him in the evolution of

the whole cosmos. These 27 daughter of Daksha married the Moon and became special

repositories of astrological influences. Which is why the Nakshatra are feminine impulse

which need the positive- male impulses of the planets to complete their polarity.

In India, the lunar calender is decided by the nakshatras. The rising nakshatra at the time of

the new moon decides the rulership of the lunar month. 12 nakshatras rule the lunar

months.

Naksha- means to approach and Tra means to guard. Each Nakshatras has a mythological

god whose duty it to guard and guide the cosmic evolution. The location of the planets in

specific nakshatras completely alters their signifcations. The zodiac comprises of 360

degrees. The twelve zodiac signs rule 30 degrees each. There are 27 Nakshatras, each

Zodiac sign comprimising 2 1/2 Nakshatras. Though the Zodiac has been divided into 27

groups of Nakshtras. These are only the principle members of several groups of fixed stars.

Beginning at 0' Aries, each Nakshatra compromises 13' 20" of the ecliptic.-the degrees

covered by the Moon in a 24 hour Day. Each Nakshatra is further divided into four parts

known as 'padas' or feet. The 27 nakshatras are divided in to 3 groups, known as paryaya

which means cycle. The seven planets and the nodes of the moon have the rulership

assigned to each Nakshatra. They repeat themselves in the same sequence.

The start of each paryaya (one cycle of 9 nakshatras) is always ruled by Ketu the mystical

south node. Planets positioned in Sandhi areas- the junction points of the paryaya, the last

quarters(padas) of Pisces- Aries. Cancer- Leo. Scorpio- Sagittarius are specially powerful in

giving Karmic effects. They are known as Gandanta. The belief is when life crystallises at a

certain point then we journey towards the higher manifestation of the soul and the

consciousness. We have to go through a particularly trying time to prepare our minds for the

next step in the journey of our soul.

Moon has a special relationship with the Nakshatras. The Nakshatras give 108 positions for

the placement of the Moon. The Moon first comes under the influence of the zodiac sign

where it is placed, then the influence of the nakshatra ruler and lastly it is influence by the



lord of the pada. The triplicity of varying planetary influences alter the signification of the

Moon. It is from the location of the Moon in a specific nakshatra that we can decided the

start of our life cycles - the Dasha system which is unique to the Vedic astrology. The ruler

of the nakshatra at the time of our birth is the ruler of the first dasha of our life and ruler of

the pada is the first antar dasha of our life.

The Nakshatra position of the Moon plays an important part in Muhurtha- election astrology.

In India where timing of important functions in life are very important, the placement of the

transiting Moon in specific Nakshatra is considered very auspicious. Marriages, education,

house building, agriculture, farming, travel, starting new businesses etc. all should be

started on the correct day and the astrologers look to the fixed stars to find that auspicious

time so that the best possible cosmic help is available in whatever you are starting.

Nakshatras with their cosmic powers rule and direct life towards its karmic path, subtly

influencing to bring about changes in the psyche. The power of Nakshatras should never be

underestimated. Their capacity of changing our life patterns is of prime importance in the

Vedic astrology. For predictive and election purposes the knowledge of the Nakshatras is

very important.

Although it is significant to know of the lunar placement in Nakshatra, others planets change

under the influence of Nakshatras. It is important for those trying to look into deeper

meaning of life to look into the nakshatra placements of key planets and you will have a

much better understanding of the inner motivations of planets in your chart. When studying

the dashas, one should look at the ruler of the dasha as well as the placement of the ruler of

the Nakshatra of the Dasha ruler. That makes all the difference in finding how the Dasha will

effect us.

In India, most Vedic astrologer will put the number of the Nakshatra by the planet on the

chart. That way they can see immediately what degree of the Zodiac the planet is placed.

According to the ancient Vedic Philosophy, our consciousness is effected by three different

qualities or gunas. The cosmic energies that radiate around us give us the predominance of

one of these gunas. These are very important in Yoga and in astrology it is important to

understand the impulses (gunas) of the planets and their Nakshatras which give them their

unique behaviour patterns. These gunas are,

1. Sattva - the illuminating, pure or good quality. Truth, purity of purpose and self

righteousness and the path towards eternal consciousness is important to Sattvic

people. They are fearless, generous and self- controlled. They are tranquil,

charitable and generally have an open mind. Sattvics find it hard to hurt others.

Water is pure Sattva. Vegetarians are sattvic by nature-choosing to eat what is

provided by nature rather than killing to fulfil their appetites.

2. Rajas - the quality of mobility or activity. They have great inner thirst. They are

passionate and ambitious. They want to achieve. They are restless and insecure.

They want everything. They are active, want recognition and respect but are never

satisfied. They find themselves clinging to pleasant tasks but avoiding the difficultsituations. They can be fickle, easily distracted and unsteady.



3. Tamas - the dark restraining quality. They are generally sensuous, in love with all

the good things in life which restrain them from higher learning and knowledge.

They are materialistic in nature. Maya -the illusionary world of self gratification and

sensual living ties them to their desires. Tamasic people have to try very hard to get

out of the ignorance that surrounds them. They are held down by their own needs.Yoga and meditation is required to strengthen their inner being if they want to move

towards higher consciousness.

The Nakshatras radiate these qualities on primary, secondary and tertiary levels. It helps to

find out on what sub-conscious level we react to this world.

Each of the Nakshatra has its own motivation. Vedic philosophers considered 4 basic

motivations which guide us. They are:

1. Artha - meaningful action. Artha relates to wealth , financial matters and the

practicalities of life.

2. Dharma - righteous action. Dharma is the purpose of our life. The duty towards

ourselves and others to do the right thing.

3. Kama - passionate behaviour. Kama is about passion for people, causes and living.

4. Moksha - the need for spiritual salvation. Moksha means Nirvana. The need to find

the highest truths and move towards self realisation.

Each Nakshatra radiates its own quality, has its own motivation and the planets placed in

them have a triplicy of influences- by the rulers of the Zodiac sign, nakshatra and finally the

pada or quarter. These alter, enhance and fine tune the cosmic energies that effect us.
