Introduction:
T
his issue of Saptarishis Astrology
Magazine being the memorial
issue in honor of my Guru late
Mr.C.S.Patel, I chose to write this article
on a subject which was dear to him while
he was alive, which I think will serve as
the best homage to his memory & to his
pioneering work on Nadi astrology.
Way back in the year 1988, I used to meet
Mr.C.S.Patel on every weekend, wherein
he would discuss the principles enunciated
in Chandra Kala Nadi, Dhruva Nadi and
many other Nadi literature. In particular
he used to emphasize about the results of
transit of Rahu & Ketu over the "Sun-
Mercury-Venus arc" 1n any natal
horoscope.
I do not recollect the exact verse quoted by
him in this regard which was from some
Nadi literature but the essence of that
verse was that whenever Rahu transits
over the 'Sun-Mercury-Venus' arc in any
Natal chart some good results accrue to the
native like monetary gains, career
advancement etc and similarly whenever
Ketu transits over this arc some adverse
results will accrue to the native like loss of
money, loss of position, involvement in
 I
scanda ls e tc .
Way back in the year 1988 Late Mr. Patel wanted me to test these principles by applying
them to the horoscopes of near and dear ones known to me and giv e him my hones t opinion.
When I actually did check up on the charts of all near and dear ones in whose cases I ha d

full knowledge of past ev ents with dates , I felt greatly excited to find that these principles
w er e ho lding true in at least 8oo;o of the cases. When I narrated this happy experienc e to
him, he told me to write an article on this subj ect and soon thereafter I wrote one article
entitled 'Transit of Rahu & Ketu & the

but the time of birth is not known.

Subsequent to the publication of this article, we used to discuss on sev eral occasions m our
w eekly meetings verse s from diff erent N adi li terature. Of and on Mr.Patel us ed to caution
me b y saying that the various v erses in N adi li terature convey the meaning in a cryptic
manner and it was expected of an intellig ent astrologer to read the verses be tween the lines

& unders tand the import of the deep er meaning conveyed in these verses.

He used to say that it was his experience that after going over the v erses again and again,
that these verses revealed more meanings to him than what was superficially u nders tood by
him in the first reading.

For example he used to say that in this instant case although the N adi verse mentioned the
good effects arising out of transit of Rahu treating it as a benefic and the adverse effects

arising out of transit of K etu treating it as a malefic, he felt strong ly after many times
reading the v erse that we should also consider the deep er meaning by applying these
principles to transits of other benefic planets lik e J upiter e tc for evaluation of good results
and also app ly these principles to transits of other malefic planets lik e Saturn & Mars for
evalu ation of adv erse results. I hav e since been fo llowing this adv ice of late Mr. Patel.

T
he biggest advantage of these principles lie in the fact that these principles can be
app lied to natives in whose case d at e of birth i s known but the time of birth is not
known. This is due to the fact that the we can cast their natal chart bas ed on the dat e

of birth and assumed time of birth and we will still find that the "Sun-Mercury-V enus"
arc is available to a good de gree of accuracy in these natal charts (in the absence of accurate
time of birth and place of birth). This is due to the fact that Sun, Mercury and V enus mov e
by one degree in 2.4 hrs and as such any error in the time of birth is not likely to affect the
accuracy of this arc. Except z-3 charts, all the charts of po liticians presented in this article
their time of birth is not too sure hence by normal Parashari methods one wo uld be in

do ldrums whereas the method below can be applied su ccessfully.

In fact, I had applied these princip les in the last zo yrs to a few of my clients who knew only
their date of birth and did not know the time of their birth . In all such cases I co uld guide
them succ essfully about the future events based on transits ov er the "Sun-Mercury-V enus

For the information of readers it is stated that Late Mr. Patel had referred to this "Sun-Mercury-Venus
arc and the transit of Rahu & Ketu over this arc" subsequently in his book "Navamsa & Nadi
Astrology" published in the year 1996, at page 1.45.

arc" of their respective natal charts. These snapshot predictions were given by me without
considering other factors like the Dasas, Antar dasas, Divisional charts and the Ashtaka
Varga charts but my forecast was based only on transits of Benefics and Malefics over the
"Sun-Mercury-Venus arc".

1. Over the last zo years I found that transits of even fast moving planets like Mercury
& Venus over the arc also give favorable results during the duration of the transit.
11. Sometimes Mercury due to retrogression will stay on the arc for longer duration and
during such periods benefits had accrued to the native during the entire period of
transit.
111. I also found that the favorable results also accrue to the native if the benefic planets
transit by aspect over the 'Sun-Mercury-Venus Arc'. For example, Rahu and Jupiter can
th th th
transit over the arc by their 5 or 7 or 9 house aspect. Similarly malefics like Saturn
d th th
gave adverse results by aspecting the arc (l , 7 & 10 house aspects) and Mars gave
t th th
adverse results by 4 \ 7 and 8 house aspects over the arc.
1V, I would like to add that the transit directly over the arc appears to give better results
as compared to transit over the arc by aspect.
v. In some cases, I found that both favorable transits by benefic planets and adverse
transits by malefic planets over the arc occurred simultaneously. In such cases, I
found that if the benefic planets transits were more in number as compared to transits
of malefic planets then the benefits did accrue to the native and vice versa.

develop and take
these principles to the next level.

To make the above points clear I have discussed below horoscopes of top political leaders
in whose case both good and bad events are available on record with precise dates and this
helped to correlate them with the transits over the 'Sun-Mercury-Venus arc' in their
respective natal charts. Hereafter, let designate this arc as 'CSP Arc' for the purpose of
this article as a gesture to honor my late beloved Guru Sri C. S. Patel.

What is 'CSP Arc'

T
he arc in the zodiac in which Sun Mercury & Venus are placed in any natal chart is
called 'CSP Arc'. We astrologers know that the planets Sun, Mercury and Venus
move very close to each other and in that process the distance between Sun &
Mercury will vary between o & z8 degrees and the distance between Sun & Venus will vary
between o and 48 degrees. Thus, the maximum length of the "CSP Arc" in any natal chart
227
will be 2.8+48=76 degrees. This arc will normally spread over three zodiacal signs & in some
cases over two zodiacal signs and in some rare cases will be in one zodiacal sign only.

As per the N adi principle the effect of the transiting planets is expected to commence when
the planets transit this arc directly on the degree of the arc or aspect this arc on the exact
degree of the arc, but late Mr. Patel had observed that in many cases the effects start once
the planet transit or aspect the zodiacal sign in which either, Sun or Mercury or Venus was
placed and the effects continued until the planet finished the transit or aspect of the zodiacal
sign in which Sun or Mercury or Venus was placed. I had also found this observation of late
Mr. Patel holding true in all cases of my clients.

Former President Mr. Mikhail Gorbachev

In case of former President Mikhail Gorbachev's horoscope, the 'CSP Arc' extends from
2.6deg Capricorn to 2.4 Aquarius. Analyzing the events in his life, we have the following.

1) He joined communist party in 1952.. In that year Rahu was in Aquarius until June and
then moved over to Capricorn, thus it directly transited over 'CSP Arc' for the whole year.
2.) He became president of Soviet Union in the year 1989. In that year transit Rahu was
in Aquarius & thus it was directly on the 'CSP Arc' for the whole year. Transit Jupiter was
in Gemini sign and thus aspected the 'CSP Arc' from there from July 2., 1989 that year until
July 1990.
3) In the year 1991, he resigned as president Of Soviet Union. In that year transit Ketu
aspected the 'CSP Arc 'from Gemini from Apr 1991 to Oct 1992.. Transit Saturn was directly
on the 'CSP Arc 'from March2.1 1991 to June 1995.

 Former President Mr. Bill Clinton

I
n former president Bill Clinton's natal chart it is seen that the 'CSP Arc' extends from
Cancer 14 deg 29 min to Virgo 18 deg o min. Analyzing the events in his life, we have
the following:

1) He was elected Governor of Arkansas for the first time in the year 1978. In that year
transit Rahu transited directly over the 'CSP Arc' (the transit actually was from May 1977
onwards until Nov 1981).

2) He was elected as a Governor second term in Nov 1982. In that month transit Rahu
transited Gemini sign and thus aspected the 'CSP Arc'.

3) He was elected as Governor for third time in 1987 .In that year transit Rahu as well as
transit Jupiter transited Pisces sign and thus aspected the 'CSP Arc' from there.

4) In 1991, he was elected again as Governor of Arkansas. In that year Jupiter transited
directly on the 'CSP arc" while Rahu transited Sagittarius sign and thus aspected the "CSP
arc' from there.

5) In January 1993, he assumed office as president of USA. In that month transit Jupiter
transited Virgo sign and thus was directly on the 'CSP arc'. Transit Rahu was in Scorpio
sign and from there aspected 'CSP arc'.

6) In the year 1997, he assumed office again as president of USA for the second term .In
that year transit Rahu transited directly Virgo sign and was thus directly on the 'CSP Arc'.
Transit Jupiter was in Capricorn sign and thus aspected the 'CSP arc' from there.

7) In the years 1998&99, he was subjected to impeachment hearings During that time
transit Saturn transited Pisces sign until Apr 18 1998 and thus aspected the 'CSP Arc'.
However, simultaneously Rahu transited Leo sign and was thus directly on the 'CSP Arc'.
Transit Jupiter was in Aquarius sign and it thus transited the 'CSP Arc' by aspect. May be
due to these predominant plus points the outcome of the impeachment hearings went in his
favor.

Former PM Mr. Winston Churchill

In former PM Mr. Churchill's horoscope, the 'CSP arc' extends from Libra 2.5 deg 2.9 min to
Scorpio 2.9 deg 55 min. Analyzing the events in his life, we have the following:

1) He was elected as Prime Minister of UK in 1940 .In that year transit Jupiter was in
th
Aries sign and thus had 7 house aspect over the 'CSP Arc'. Further in that year transit
Rahu was directly over the 'CSP Arc' until the end of January and after that date transit
Rahu moved out of the 'CSP arc' but transit Ketu was in Pisces sign and thus aspected
the transited 'CSP arc' from there.
2.) He was elected again in 1951 as Prime Minister. In that year transit Rahu & transit
Jupiter were in Aquarius sign thus both benefic planets aspected the 'CSP arc' from
there.
3) On April 5, 1955, he resigned as Prime Minister. On that day transit Ketu was at 6
degrees in Gemini sign and thus aspected 'CSP Arc' from there and transit Saturn was
directly over the 'CSP Arc' at 2.6 degrees Libra. Transit Mars was at 2. degrees 43 min in
Taurus and thus aspected the "CSP Arc' from there.

n former PM Mrs. Margaret Thatcher's horoscope, the 'CSP Arc' extends from Virgo
2.6 deg 41 min to Scorpio 9 deg 15 min. Analyzing the events in her life, we have the
following:

230
1) In 1959, she was elected to parliament for the first time. In that year transit Rahu
transited Virgo sign & was directly on the 'CSP Arc".
z) In 196i, she was appointed the Joint Secretary to the Ministry of Pensions. In that year
transit Rahu was in Leo sign until Nov 9 and then moved over to Cancer sign. Thus it
aspected 'CSP Arc" from Cancer sign. Transit Jupiter was in Capricorn sign from Feb
n, 196i and remained in that sign for the whole year thus transited the 'CSP Arc' by
aspect.
3) She held the portfolio of Minister of Education in the years 1970 to 1974 .In the years
1970, 1971 & until Sep 1972. transit Rahu transited Aquarius and Capricorn signs and thus
aspected the 'CSP Arc'. Again, from March zo 1974 transit Rahu was in Scorpio sign
and thus it transited directly the 'CSP arc' in that year.
4) She became Prime Minister on 5-4-1979. On that day transit Jupiter was in Cancer sign
and thus aspected the 'CSP Arc' from there. Further transit Mercury and Venus were in
Aries thus they also aspected the 'CSP arc' from there. Transit Saturn was in Leo and
aspected 'CSP Arc'. Transit Ketu was in Aquarius and aspected the 'CSP Arc' from
there. Thus, the positive transits outnumbered the negative transits on that day,
enabling her to become PM.
5) In 1982., she became prime Minister for the second term .In that year transit Rahu was
in Gemini sign and thus aspected 'CSP Arc' from there. Transit Jupiter was in Libra
and thus was directly on the 'CSP Arc'.

In former PM Mrs. Indira Gandhi's horoscope, 'CSP Arc' extends from Scorpio 4 deg 07
min to Sagittarius 2.1 deg oo min. Analyzing the events in her life, we have the following:

1) In the year 1966, she became Prime Minister of India. In that year transit Rahu was rn
Taurus sign until July and from August onwards it was in Aries sign and thus it was
continuously aspecting the 'CSP Arc' from these signs for the whole year. Transit Jupiter
was in sign Gemini until August 2.3 and thereafter moved over to Cancer sign for the rest of
the year and thus aspected the 'CSP Arc' from these signs for the whole year.

2.) She was assassinated on Oct 31, 1984. On that day transit Mars transited was in Sagittarius
sign and was thus directly on 'CSP Arc'. Transit Saturn was in Libra sign and thus aspected
the 'CSP arc' from there. Transit Ketu in Scorpio sign and was thus on the 'CSP Arc'.
TransitJupiter was in Sagittarius and was directly on 'CSP Arc'.

Former PM Mr. Tony Blair

In the former PM Mr. Tony Blair's horoscope, 'CSP Arc' extends from Pisces 2.1 deg 49 min
to Aries 2.2. deg 10 min. Analyzing the events in his life, we have the following:
1) In 1994, he became leader of the labor party. In that year transit Rahu was in Scorpio
sign until June 9 and afterwards moved over to Libra sign for the rest of that year and
thus aspected the 'CSP Arc'. Transit Jupiter was in Libra sign and thus aspected the
'CSP Arc' from there.
2.) In May 1997, he became Prime Minister of UK. In that year transit, Rahu was in Virgo
and thus aspected 'CSP Arc' from there. Transit Mercury was in Aries directly over
the 'CSP Arc' and transit, Venus was also in Aries until May 6 and then moved over
to Taurus & thus it was directly on the 'CSP Arc on that day. Transit Ketu was in
Pisces 4 degrees and thus was on the "CSP arc'. Transit Saturn was in Pisces 2.0
degrees to 2.3 degrees in May 1997. Thus, the positive & negative indications appeared

232
 to be balanced in May, 1997. In his case since Saturn was a yoga karaka and also the
lord of his Rasi, the evil effects of Saturn appear to have been diluted, thus enabling
him to become PM in the month of May 1997.
3) In June 2.007, he resigned from PM position. In that month transit Saturn was in
Cancer & from there aspected 'CSP Arc'. Transit Ketu was in Leo sign and from there
aspected the 'CSP Arc'.

In ex PM Morarji Desai's horoscope the 'CSP Arc' extends
from Capricorn 14 deg 32. min to Aquarius 17 deg 51 min.
Analyzing the events in his life, it is observed that:
1) He became the Prime Minister of India on March 2.4 1977. On

Ex-President Nels on Mandela

This is the what was confirmed a tough chart as his time of birth is still not certain and if
one goes by the various times floating around then we would get several lagnas to play with.

Source Notes: Frances McEvoy reported that her son and daughter-in-law spent a summer
in South Africa with the Kennedy Foundation as lawyers. During an afternoon in the
entourage of Mandela, they asked his birth time and were told "afternoon." Noel Tyl wrote
in May/i994 that he rectified the afternoon time with extremely taxing detail to z:54 PM,
then shared his documentation with Rod Suskin, a well-known South African astrologer
who responded with "a veritable catalogue of reinforcement for the time." South African
astrologer Anita Noyes-Smith has a friend in Mandela's office who checked for a time and
found that there is no known time of birth. Umtata is a rural area and blacks had no birth
certificates. Often, they did not even know the date, as it was not valued as important.
(Formerly, Noel Tyl had speculated 8:45 AM, given in AFANews 1/i994. Daniela
Schmuckli had a spec time of 12.:45 PM in Astrolog 6ji996. Anita Noyes-Smith speculated
z:12. AM.)

On Nov 4, 2008, transit Ketu will be at 20 deg 15 min in Cancer. Thus it will be directly on
the 'CSP Arc'. It is also seen that Transit Rahu & Transit Jupiter will aspect the 'CSP arc".
Further transit Moon will be in Uttarashada Nakshatra and will thus transit the "CSP arc".
Transit Saturn will be in Leo and thus will be outside the "CSP arc"
Thus there are both positive and negative indications but the positive indications appear to
outnumber the negative indications.

developments, setbacks etc. Thus, these
transits can serve as an additional basis for
prognostication based on transits alone.
