Saptarishis Blessings

1st Annual Issue

t is as if it was only yesterday we started this magazine and a year has so quickly gone by.

Before we come to astrology I would like to thank all the readers and support team for making this venture a new chapter in the history of astrology. Never before has a publication in astrology gone so far and wide. It has been a very humbling experience & we bow to the 7 Arch Angels and 7 Sages Saptarishis and ask them for guidance forever; may they forgive our mistakes. This space that is called the Publitorial has maintained 3 things a) A personal approach in its writings since astrology primarily is a science about humans and humans are people with emotions. The astrological community is one big family is our attitude. b) The astro techniques that are mainly written in publitorials are those that are fresh for both the western counterpart and also the Vedic astrology practitioners and it is a difficult task to keep it fresh every time. c) It has been observed that To be a Great Astrologer it is not important to know great techniques but the attitude with which you approach the subject, determines your success in the subject and these qualities will always be discussed here as no one talks about it. Best Article Award We would soon be setting up a separate link for you to poll on the articles that have contributed towards astrology; kindly note that only registered members can poll. This will be a yearly poll on the best articles that have appeared in the magazine. Articles written by Saptarishis Astrology will not be put up for voting in order to create unbiased polling. Kindly look at the end of this Publitorial for Life Time Achievement Award.

Dedication

As we start this very 1st annual issue, we must dedicate this huge volume at the holy feet of an elderly astrologer by the name of N. Sundara Rajan, who was the originator of the idea of 5

starting a new magazine. We wanted to start a magazine only for the topmost scholars but after we received repeated complaints we have introduced several articles for the beginners or semi advanced students so that this becomes a complete family magazine for all categories of astrologers. In this issue you would find some fantastic articles and researches by Ron Bippus from Canada who upon this publishers request spent 6 months working on collecting data and came out with a method to time relationships, his work must not be ignored today when divorce rates are high and matches does not happen. Adam Gainsburgs article is very smooth and even Indian astrologers should read it. We also should not miss the great astrologers work of Mr Ciro Discepolo from Italy, his research can be fruitfully used by both systems of astrology effectively. Paul Langeveld from Netherlands (92 years old) had promised us few months back that he would reveal his new horary system to be published in Saptarishis Astrology and he has kept that promise. Mr Langeveld kept this information to himself for decades as he worked on it quietly and finally the time has come for it to savored by all. It is requested of readers to read Margarets article on Comet Lulin and see if the houses moved about by the Comet in ones natal chart have been affected around the time of the comets arrival, provided of course Jupiter is affected in ones natal chart. It is certain Bible and Astrology would raise some eyebrows but surely make us all think what has been the best kept secret since thousands of years. Jay has worked on this for months and months and deserves applause. Robert Govers article has been a super hit as usual. He does not deserve a special mention as he is an old hand in Economic Astrology apart from being a popular writer in the West. Once again we must take you to this fantastic researcher from USA whose work has not been paralleled by any Indian astrologer so far and that is Michele Adlers phenomenal research on degrees. Do read it with delight; make her work your Guru and some new light can come in Indian Astrology in that area. Let us look at some of the world events with a new system of astrology that can be practiced both by the western astrology adepts & Vedic astrology counterparts.

Economic Meltdown & Banking System

Western Astrology Standpoint Before we venture into world events explanation from astrological standpoint, readers must bear that the real secret behind these transits will be revealed at the very end of this piece. 1 Bank mortgage companies and financial institutions come under Jupiter . Income from interest is also governed by Jupiter the same 12th century work Phaladeepika says, so let us see Jupiter and apply some ancient rules that were revealed for the 1st time in the Vol 4 under
1

Reference a 12th century work titled Phaladeepika by Mantreswara, page 95, 2008 edition, Motilal Banarsidas, Delhi.

the title Bhrighu Easy Methodology Bhrighu Saral Paddathi. In the natural zodiac the 7th house signifies businesses and 6th house signifies loans/credit. Automatically the institutions that profit from it would be governed either by the 7th house (secondarily) and/or by the 6th house (primarily). These two signs will be governed by Libra and Virgo. SA Rule 1: Wherever Jupiter sits, he Destroys/Activates/Spoils minimum one signification of the house 6th and 10th from it . Jupiter will always act in righteous ways as we all know. Taking Western zodiac on 15 Sept 2008 when Lehman Brothers Bank filed for bankruptcy Tr Jupiter was at 12 Cp, 10th from Capricorn will be the sign of Libra, the 7H of business of the Natural Zodiac which means if we apply the above ancient rule of Jupiter, it destroys the 10th from it and has destroyed many businesses worldwide including banking. Now, the 6th house of natural zodiac is the mortgage/loans that we give, the action (karma) of any house is always the 10th from it, so the action (karma) of the 6th house of mortgage companies will be the 3H of Gemini which signifies transactions. As we know banks are always transacting something or the other. Tr Jupiter in Capricorn will first shower light on the 6th from it which will be the 3H of Gemini in natural zodiac and then destroy it, so it has punished the bad karma of the banks (10th from 6th) & financial institutions. This whole affair can be explained in many ways but we would stick to brevity.
th

SA Rule 2: Wherever Saturn sits, he becomes Judge Dredd or Emperor (Shahenshah) and he shouts I Am The Law. It is that house where a) Karma is unfinished & you Need to finish it. b) You will make mistakes
2

This method was revealed in the Vol 4 Nov 2008 issue under the title Brighu Saral Paddathi2

c) You will be Judged for your mistakes d) If the universal law (Dharma) is not followed in that house, Saturn will destroy that house as He is the Law The seriousness of this rule has escaped us all, check 20 charts instantly or minimum 5 charts mentally as you read this and those natives whose lives you know since 60 years you would realize the magnanimity of the SA Rule 2. But, how does one remember Saturn. Saturn stands for Karma (judgment of the good and bad deeds) but how to use this Saturn Karma has escaped us Indians since time immemorial. For the westerners it is suggested to watch Sylvester Stallones movie Judge Dredd and remember some of his famous lines now in the Hall of Fame Quotes I Am The Law, remember that dialogue delivery in the famous Sly style, remember him saying when he was to be judged himself I never broke the law, I am the law. Thats typical Saturn for you; he cant imagine breaking the law since he is the law. Many of us know that Saturn is a cold emotionless planet, just think of the synchronicity and more proof that Stallone was actually playing the role of Saturn when he said in that movie Emotions... there ought to be a law against them. For Indians we suggest to watch Amitabh Bachchans movie titled Emperor (Shahenshah) to understand Saturn, incidentally he plays the role of a self styled law maker who moves in the night and judges you on the spot along with the verdict just like Judge Dredd. The character Shahenshah says in that movie Where Shahenshah (Saturn) stands (placed in horoscope) there the court of law is created, and this court does not end till ones karmas is not read out. By profession I am a type of Judge who creates his own law, who catches on his own the culprits and one who runs the court procedure on his own and gives the verdict 3 himself. This is me Saturn, the Emperor (Shahenshah) of your chart. It is when astrology rules your mind 24 hrs a day 365 days and in everything you see astrology, you get far better clues for interpretation of charts, this is the secret of astrology. Now in SA Rule 2 we learnt that where Saturn sits there he judges. In western zodiac, Saturn has been in the 6th house of loans, banks, mortgages, servants, job as he arrived in this house he started to Judge and give verdict, banking systems worldwide collapsed, people lost jobs and those still having it faced pay cuts. We all know of the famous secret Swiss Bank Accounts of the rich and famous and how the Swiss banks help in evading tax is this good or bad karma?. See Feb 2009 related news 4 of New York Times and the unthinkable when it comes to Swiss Banks has happened UBS, the largest bank in Switzerland, agreed on Wednesday 18th Feb 2009 to divulge the names of wellheeled Americans whom the authorities suspect of using offshore accounts at the bank to evade taxes. The bank admitted conspiring to defraud the Internal Revenue Service and agreed to pay $780 million to settle a sweeping federal investigation into its activities. If one has not done any bad karma since decades then why is one paying $ 780 million to settle an investigation is the question we need to ask?

For Indians: Court Room Scene rishite mein to hum iske (tumhare) baap lagte hain, naam hain Sahenshah, peeshe mein hum bhi aap he ke tarah ek JUDGE hain jo apne Kanoon khudh banata hain apne mujrim khud pakadta hain, unke mukadme kudh sunta hain aur faisle bhi khud sunata hain

SA Rule 3: Wherever Saturn sits he Spoils/Destroys/Activates one of the significations of the 2nd house from it. He passes on the judgment of this house on to the 2nd house from it. The logic of why he destroys the 2nd from it will be discussed in depth in Bhrighu Saral Paddathi (BSP) 3 & 4 in this issue. Now see where Saturn is, he is in Virgo and destroys the 2nd from it which is Libra which stands for businesses and also being 7H of the zodiac again businesses. Each planet has these kinds of secret rules and several rules within them which Conspire Together to bring the events of this magnitude. As these rules have not been revealed so far in the BSP series it is no use expanding on it now in this short space. Indian Zodiac The value of the zodiac is called ayanamsa in Indian astrology and is roughly 22 degrees less than the western zodiac, can these same rules be applied to the Universal Zodiac (Kala Purusha Kundali) whose Ascendant is Aries. Yes it can be. Now take SA Rule 1: Jupiter destroys the 6 & 10th, Tr Jupiter is in Sagittarius and 6th from it is the 2nd house of wealth of the natural zodiac so wealth is destroyed, 10th from it is the 6th house of Virgo, banks and jobs where Mercury is placed on 15th Sept 2008 onwards being exalted so it destroyed the

banks and financial sectors and trading (stock markets) as Mercury also signifies trading. Now take SA Rule 2: Saturn judges the place where he sits and here he is in Leo in the 5th house of power, of gambling (stocks) and the 5H of gain of business (11th house signifies gains/profits and Leo is the 11th from 7H of business), apart from that Leo is the 12th house of losses to the 6th house of banks (Virgo) so Saturn activated Leo and aspected with its 3rd 5 aspect the sign Libra business punishing the sins of these businesses. Now use SA Rule 3: Saturn destroys one of the significations of the house 2nd to it, which here Saturn being in

Traditional Indian astrology uses Saturn as having 3rd, 7th and 10th aspect only. For the Bollywood fanatic Indian who wants to understand 3rd aspect of Saturn in a filmi manner, kindly remember the song of Shahenshah He (Saturn) has lot of strength in his arms Bada jor hain uske Haatoo Meinnn, anderee ratoo mein sunsanh raho par

Leo would destroy the 6th house of jobs and banks. Nearly 2.6 million jobs were lost over 2008, the highest yearly jobloss total since 1945. On the day of the eclipse 26th January 2009 a record 86,000 people were fired on a single day as reported in Indian press though the 6 footnote weblink says 64,500. Golden Key We have taken only 2 planets Jupiter and Saturn and ideally we need to take all the planets as planets Conspire Together to create an event, but even if we take these 2 they would form this same pattern of being in VirgoCapri or LeoSagi in a previous cycle few decades back and in every cycle these kind of events does not happen. Most astrologers have asked this same question in opposition to Transits Theory and it has also been asked by the anti astrology brigade. Infact this question is immensely crucial that it is asked by everyone whether student or masters including this author has asked and this is where we stand by our previous statement often repeated by the Yogis that Jyotish is a science of the yogis and not for the householders. This same question was asked by our wanderer the character who meets the old yogi Babaji in the Last Book Of Astrology. I remember reading it clearly it was a Tuesday and it is a day when all the inmates of the retreat (ashram) stay away from Babaji, but once a question is asked it cannot be taken back. First Babaji smiles and then he says We must spend time in getting to the basics as to who the planets are and what they are doing. Spend each day of the week thinking on each planet for minimum 5 hours, think think and think on them. Ask yourself then 1. If Mars is in the 11th house will it give the exact same results on a chart of a man born in the year 1500s versus the chart of a man born in the 1800s vs chart of a man born in 2008. Obviously not the same result, but why, if you think hard enough either for some minutes or it could years too but you might get the answer, just ask Lord Mars with enough devotion for the answer is not in books and he just might answer. 2. Planets are not doing time pass when they travel around the zodiac, dont they get bored travelling for centuries for 100s of times around the zodiac and delivering the same results, so now you think if they are doing something else. 3. My boy they are recording the events, the actions that you have done in each cycle of movement around the zodiac and when the time comes as per their own law they deliver the result of your karma by judging you of the previous actions of either the previous cycle or within the cycle (key). Deciphering this is the toughest part Taking cue from this book Last Book of Astrology it is understood that if Jupiter (manager of banking institutions) and Saturn (law maker) has in the last 12 and 30 years recorded all the karmas of these banks and accountants and people related to businesses and jobs and seen that Hey, these guys are crooked they keep on charging the customers unnecessarily, they invest in shady deals that too money of others, create bogus accounts, act as safe haven for money launderers in garb of blue collar jobs and customer service, hey nowadays people are not working properly, not serving their employers, men are not doing ethical businesses dramatically cheating around so ask the question a) Would there not be a difference in Karma in two different cycles of 30 years (Saturn), 1978 to 2008 vs 1948 to 1978 or in each 12 year cycle (Jupiter)

b) If the Karmas in the two different sets of years are not the same then how will the result of Jupiter and Saturn be the same c) How will the transits results of these two planets be the same Hence observation of Karma around us becomes the Biggest Teacher In Astrology and that is the reason we have often maintained in this very Publitorial that the last book of astrology is a phenomenal piece of work since it makes us all think as to our very basics and it is not a typical astrology book of techniques.

Indias 9/11
The chart below is in the western zodiac and will be displayed below in Indian format but western ayanamsa and later with Indian ayanamsa. The Asc is 0Ge53, as we had revealed in previous writings whatever is ones ascendant take two things of note a) Take note of the Asc sign in the natural zodiac that will display specific traits and b) go to the same number house in the chart and that too will display specific traits. In Indias chart Ge is the ascendant which means the Gemini sign of communication and trading, and the 3H of this chart as Ge is number 3, and 3H shows IT, computers, communications (telephony) and trading, here additionally 4 planets sit showing the Stress on the house and incidentally India has excelled in all these matters, we are not aware if astrologers gone by ever pointed that India would excel in these areas, but one can test it on charts and see how this technique is working out. E.g if you are a Leo sign the number 5 sign, then the 5H of Intelligence (buddhi), children, getting new job (8th from 10th) would be an Important Factor/Theme in your life.

If you are a Virgo then accidents, obstacles, fighting with authorities for unjust atrocities committed upon you or serving people through astrology or compassion, if Scorpio then occult, inheritance issues all these will crop up and you as an astrologer should never forget to keep this in your mind before you embark on reading any chart.

The Attack On 26th Nov 2008, terrorists took Mumbai city hostage and this was predicted one month back by Babaji an Indian magazine by the elderly editor Shri Lachman Das Madan, probably the only astrologer to predict in advance. Let us today go unconventional and get to the root of astrology Is Astrology all about predictions or is it not first to understand Who We Are? & Why did this happen?

A chart does not just show the future, it show the past, present and the future. Here in this space let us look into those areas of Indias chart which our ancestors have avoided writing. The 1st house has North Node (rahu), rahu means foreigners and rahu denotes separation, so one predicts that the history of these people were that of foreigners (Britishers & Muslims) and they separated (rahuseparation) from them. The Asc sign is Taurus which is 2nd number sign so Taurus qualities of being bull headed and opinionated, fixed in ways and mindset, ever talkative (2nd house of speech) will dominate the lives of Indians. All of us know this is truth of us. In 2nd house there is Mars (fiery) and it disposits the 12H (secret enemies & past karma) and 7H where Ketu (secretive and separative) is there. So since Ta is the Asc and in 2nd house there is Mars whose traits we just saw, we are always dodged down by secret enemies, our past karmas (of hatred) and infact for everything we blame it on past karma).

12

Now to the question at hand, did the Nov 08 attacks have a past karma? Obviously these particular terrorists are not mad to choose any country, they do not choose a country like China but they choose India, why India, obviously we must have done something to deserve it, this question how it is to be traced by astrology is the key and a very difficult key to unlock. The one who unlocks the Precise Timing Of Karma will not stay long to be an astrologer our ancients have said it in hushed tones. Since we were on the topic of Jupiter in SA Rule 1, lets see it in natal chart of India. Jupiter In Indias chart 8H is the house of Karmic Debts, here the 8L Jupiter is placed in the natural 6H of debts, obstacles, fighting, mistakes, misinterpretation, cheating. Mark all these key words and lets come to the basic signification of Jupiter it means religion & religious people. The 8H of Supreme Karma is Jupiter it shows religious people but since it falls in the 6H of Fighting it shows we Indians are always fighting over religion and religious scriptures. Its not just the fight between Hinduism vs Islam or Christianity, within our Hinduism itself we keep on dividing, dividing and dividing. It is presumed the Colonial Rulers of India learnt their famous Divide & Rule through us only and implemented it further on us. 6H is the House Of Mistakes and maybe somehow the people in power have committed mistakes in our religious past and interpretation of it. Saints and yogis and even Incarnations have come and shown us not to be biased towards humans but we still like to interpret our scriptures the way we want, thats the issue of the 6H of fighting, when we fight with anyone we always feel we are right and others are wrong. Inspite of all our spiritual wealth we are unable to do any amount of real spirituality. Take this case in 2008 in Rajasthan, India a 6 year old girl was thrown in live fire since she was a lower caste girl who walked through the lane adjoining the house of a higher caste. We like our Gandhi who spent his lifetime trying to tell us not to misinterpret scriptures and remove the caste system but still it prevails. Its not just Gandhi but so many saints have come and thought us not to be biased on color, caste or creed but when we are in trouble we go to these very saints to free us of it but we dont want to implement their teachings. Interestingly we like to say that Gods in India created this system of division based on caste creed and we in the same breath say & literally mean that our mother and father are
13

Gods, for one second imagine an ideal mother and father they never differentiate among their children (their creation) but we want to assume that our Gods are of Lesser Love and they differentiated when they created us. A wise man once said why we are so hell bent on insulting the intelligence of our Gods. How is this Jupiter functioning can be thought of indepth, Indias majority of religions (Jupiter) says do not kill even an insect (jupiterean way) but when it comes to devouring humans or mentally torturing other humans, hurting others hearts or cheating someone in business or life, we for that matter still feel it is a vegetarian act. We still go to temples and saints and say God is Great. This is due to our misinterpretation of Jupiters values as it is placed in the 6H of mistakes. 6H is House Of Cheating or Being Cheated and there is Jupiter (knowledge), Indians often use their astrology, mantra mumbo jumbo to fool themselves and foreigners. For everything there is a mantra or a remedy, how come inspite of all our mantras & remedies the people of India suffer through poverty and corruption. Infact most astrologers of India have clients who are highly corrupt, do you think so the Soul of Astrology Jyotisha Purusha is going to leave these astrologers or their families alone. There is a very funny side to 6H and that is it is a mixture of two things house of cheating and being cheated, another way of looking at it is it is house of inferiority (servants) & superiority (when you fight you feel superior) and this strange House of Double Dichotomy has been so far ignored by ancient writers. Now how to see this double dichotomy, see Jupiter the most intelligent and religious planet is in this house of double dichotomy of inferior/superior, of serving/fighting attitude two opposite traits. So you find our religious (Jupiter) leaders and astrologers (Jupiter) will act very humble (servant) but at the same time display huge ego. A westerner often feels very confused to identify an Indian who acts extra humble and in the same breath displays huge ego. This 6H which carries with it the fruit of the 2H of Gemini trait cannot be ignored. 6H is House of Dowry, 7th house stands for marriage and 12th from it stands for the losses, expenses governing marriage & also the comforts for other partner (7H). When dowry is given it is the expense and loss of someone. Jupiter stands for religion & it seems 7 we have legalized or rather religised dowry, how unique it is that not a single Govt or saint has been able to eradicate dowry from our society due to which husbands and their parents have burnt women alive since time immemorial and what not. We worship female deities but we curse the day a girl is born in our house, even till date it happens on a major scale. Jupiter stands is the ruler of the 9 th house of religion & righteous action in Natural Zodiac, it placed in the 6h of mistakes shows how we have contorted our religion and dharma to suit our needs. This is our past and present of India. Remember this Jupiter is 8L of Karmic Debts in 6H of debts, dowry and marriage becoming a religious function (Jupiter) has become a Debt (6H) for all of us and many take huge loans to get their children married which they are unable to pay back the debts (6H) back. This menace of dowry is one of the most significant problems of India and astrologers cant solve it but they need to remove out a research article that shows if woman child will be troubled due to dowry or not, this fear every parent carries for 30 years from the day a girl is born in ones household. A young man in astrology told us that some of us claim to be research specialists how come no research in this field has come about forget about eradication of the menace.

Sorry for coining new word

6H is House of Servants and over there Jupiter the significator of children is sitting, which means children will be our servants, child labor is rampant in India in most industries & even in the house of the poor cum the elite even though the govt woke up about it after 60 years but we dont feel bad about it as every day we go to temples. 6H is the House of Sin of Girl Child in Indias chart and see Jupiter represents children and 6H is the maraca house (2nd from any house is maraca) from 5H of children, this Jupiter is placed in Venus sign of Libra representing girl child and as it is death inflicting house (maraca) apart from being 6h of loss, a girl child is not wanted and is often aborted even in todays age, often helped by doctors (Jupitervaidya) and astrologers (Jupiter) by indicating the sex of the child beforehand. See Jupiter along with A9 is in 6H of Indias chart and they will do adharma (non righteous actions). 6H is House of Fighting and over there Jupiter the significator of religion is sitting, our religious leaders love fighting among ourselves and further dividing India. Western astrologer might not understand this but in brief via Jaimini Astrology Jupiter is Career significator (Amatyakaraka) in Indias chart and Jupiter stands for religion and its allied 8 branches like astrology is big career now and great to fight about. 6th House is not the house of praise and Jupiter represents astrologers, incidentally astrologers are not well respected in India and often part of jokes in society and movies. Here astrologers dont respect each other as Jupiter is in 6H and normally you wont find one top astrologer praising another top astrologer, God (Jupiter) stopped making those astrologers who would. In the Now we must learn one secret, see this Jupiter is in the 6H of servants, serving others, so whatever knowledge (Jupiter) you learn in India or from India, it first needs to be used to serve others and then the automatic fruits (money, fame etc). It cannot be the other way around this is such an important key and it is sad when some people do not have time to give knowledge out in form of books or articles one wonders if they have seen Indias chart specifically; apart from the general know how that knowledge needs to be used to help people. In conclusion to the above lets think with the astrology we know, Jupiter is the planet of blessings of Gods, sitting in the 6H which is considered not an auspicious house do we have the blessings of the Gods, SA Rule 1: 10th from Jupiter Natal Jupiter is in the 6H so it will destroy, harm & contort the 10th from it which is the 3H of ones actions where 4 planets are placed including the 9th lord of religion and Jupiter itself is the significator of religion. What does this translate into? It shows that our actions inspired by religion are actually anti humanity (anti dharmic 9L of dharma). We can lie to ourselves that we are highly religious or righteous in our actions (dharmic) but a chart does not lie to an honest astrologer. If you use this 10th from Jupiter technique in the 9 th harmonic chart which will always show the cruz of the

Indians can refer to Jupiters Natural Period (Naisargik Dasa) that ran from 1979 to 1997 and you can think of the religious riots that have taken place and new religiouspolitical parties that have emerged who have taken religion as the core issue and not good governance.

15

Problem. See Jupiter in 3H of actions & free will (parakram), this becomes religious actions and 10th from it is Rahu (muslims/mlechas/foreigners) placed in the 12th house of secret enemies. It need not be spelt out what this 10th from Jupiter is doing to Rahu. Let us follow what Gandhi taught us; to exhibit love for all & the enemy within is the greatest enemy. Let us not aggravate the 6H of enemies more. This exhibition of 6H of enemies and fighting is so easily displayed in Vedic astrology internet forums where foreigners shy from writing since they know a truth and talk often among themselves Indians like to talk of spirituality only but when it comes to walking their talk, they cant, in an instant Indians fight on forums trying to prove themselves superior over fellow Indians on knowledge front. Any Indian forum of astrology if viewed once in a month looks like a place akin to an asylum of mentally retarded jupitereans. One would like to end this piece with a thought, the role of astrologers in any society is to create better humans, if we astrologers cant display qualities of a good human being what are we going to create in others. Though this might sound as putting ourselves down but still in our hearts all of us want this India to improve and in our small ways we all contribute and will continue to contribute to make it a better place.

Vol 5 Feb 2009 1st Annual Issue

It was 2007 and we were talking to a legendary old astrologer from Chennai, we were complaining that The Astrological Magazine has closed down now what will happen to good astrology whereupon that old man said why dont you start a magazine and I will be the editor. We thought very deeply for 24 hrs, did not consult a single astrologer on the biggest decision of our life and after those 24 hrs an affirmation was given, without realizing the gamut of the whole affair of what we were getting into. This is how Saptarishis Astrology started, though now again it has restarted with new management and all of us should support it by subscribing to it and the question comes into mind if Saptarishis Astrology should still continue. Coming back, though the old astrologer got busy with writing a book that we ourselves were insisting from a long time to him, but his love and blessings towards us continued. Though he has not been able to write an article till now but 16

in this issue you would find an article on Combinations for Successful Astrologers by him. It is this man whom we dearly love and respect for it is maybe some past life connection we have always felt towards him. Hence we dedicate this 1st Annual Issue to him, to our beloved Shri N Sundara Rajan. He shall never be forgotten even though the younger generation does not know about his vast contribution to the science. In this issue you would find a great research by Mr. Krishnamurthy on birth time rectification please put all your energy in applying it and testing it further on extremely accurate birth times, if feedback is given it will help in improving or correcting the method, you as a reader owe it to astrology & cant be counted among those who can only criticise but not contribute constructively. Yenbeeyes one of the most hardworking astrologers that we know has written a novel piece on how to identify if a chart is male or female apart from his enormous contribution of translating Saptarishis Nadi (an old work of the 7 sages) along with Mr. Bhaskaran Natesan. It gives us great pleasure to see an article revealed for the 1st time on True Jaimini Navamsa by Shanmukha, may he write many more such pieces for the sake of Sage Jaimini & kudos to the scholar U.K.Jha for bringing out a tantric dasa called Gangadhar Dasa, a unique work on timing events easily. This is the first time it is being revealed anywhere & so far it has been only passed from gurus mouth to students ear from eternity. The publishers do not expect anything less from him. Lastly on manuscript we would touch in future issue, but one of the manuscripts Guru Nadi has been translated by Chandrashekhar Sharma, it is a must read for anyone who wants to know how ancient is Jyotish. Life Time Achievement Award People have lost their jobs & many are about to, as per economic reports nearly 2.6 million jobs were lost over 2008, the highest yearly jobloss total since 1945. The one who does not have a job and has to feed her/his family knows what it is to not have one. The real worth of astrology and astrologers comes now to bring about and research a technique by which one can do Timing Of New Jobs. A technique that is not 50% but minimum 85% accurate in its application whether it be a western astrology or Indian astrology technique. Earlier we were to announce a $10,000 (5 lakh rupee) award for any article that is 95% accurate in displays how to time new jobs, but our mentors indicated that it would be far bigger to instead accord a Saptarishis Astrology Life Time Achievement Award to the astrologer who publishes his article on job timing. For many of you fame and money would not be the instigator to go into this kind of research so please do it for the thousands who are jobless, your technique will teach 1000s of astrologers who in turn will help 100,000s of humans and the good karma will come to you only. Some of you astrologers might be jobless, think of the suffering you are going through, instead of devoting time to internet forums spend it collecting 20 charts and research on a simple yet effective method of timing. Any technique needs to be simple and effective for it to be instantly universally acceptable is what we must remember. As we wind up this Publitorial of the 1st Annual Issue we welcome the new volunteers Dr. Gurusaravanan from USA, Renay Oshop from USA, Carole McMechan from Canada & N.Suryanarayan from India. As a mark of respect and gratitude to those who subscribed to the magazine a separate page is put in their honour. Finally we thank with folded hands the team members & family of Saptarishis Astrology magazine whose love and support have been a constant encouragement in times of despair and its easy to get depressed while serving astrology with whatever little one does.
