 ABOUT THE BOOK
With the blessings of MATA RANI and my parents, I am humbled to share a
straightforward method for grasping the fundamentals of Vedic Jyothisha, also
known as Astrology in English.
I express my deep gratitude to my esteemed teachers, especially the late Shri
Krishna Kumar, and my mentor and friend, Mr. Megharaj Jain, for their
invaluable guidance.
My name is Gayatri Srinivas, and for over two decades, I've dedicated myself to
understanding the intricacies of various branches of Jyothisha.
Having earned a Diploma in Advanced Jyothisha from Karnataka University and
being honoured with numerous accolades, I embark on this attempt with
utmost sincerity.
The realm of Vedic Jyothisha and its branches is boundless, often requiring a
lifetime to fully explore.
Within these pages, I aim to provide aspiring Jyothisha enthusiasts with
essential insights. Each slide is concise, focusing solely on the most pertinent
aspects.
Sage Parashara is revered as a guiding light in Jyothisha, and a significant
portion of this book is inspired by his text, Bharath Parashara Hora Shastra. The
insights derived from Sage Mantreswara's Phaladeepika serve to deepen the
understanding of Bhava, Rashi, and Planets.
While Sage Parashara's teachings serve as the cornerstone of this work, Sage
Mantreswara's Phaladeepika adds layers of depth and clarity.
I am confident that this book will prove immensely beneficial to our Jyothisha
community.
 INTRODUCTION
Karma Theory:
The Karma Theory explains the intricate workings of cause
and effect. How actions, intentions, and choices made by
individuals in any of their previous lives shape their today’s
destiny and the events that unfold in their lives today. This
theory emphasizes that every action carries consequences,
in this life and may be in any of the coming lives, leading to
a continuous cycle of birth & and rebirth..

Rashi/Signs and Their Significance

Rashi/Signs in astrology serve as symbolic representations
of different personality traits, tendencies, and energies.
Each zodiac sign carries unique qualities and
characteristics. The study of signs and their significance

Planets and Their Meanings

Planets are celestial bodies that exert various influences on
an individual's life. Each planet is associated with specific
qualities, energies, and symbolism. The study of planets
and their meanings & how these cosmic forces impact a
person's personality, relationships, and life events.
 INTRODUCTION
Houses and Their Significations
Houses, also known as Bhavas in Vedic Jyothisha, are
divisions of an astrological chart that represent different
areas of a person's life. Each house has a distinct
significance and is associated with specific aspects of a
person's existence, such as career, family, relationships, and
spirituality. The analysis of houses and their significations
provides a comprehensive view of an individual's life and
experiences.

Navamsha Significations
The Navamsha chart holds significant importance in Vedic
Jyotisha, delineating a person's life into nine segments. It
provides insights into an individual's internal development,
offering a detailed analysis of the planets' qualities and
strengths. Additionally, this chart plays a key role in
deciphering the destiny (Bhagya) of the individual and
provides valuable insights into the nature of their married
life.
 Karma Theory
Karma theory:- Is a fundamental concept within
Hinduism.
At the heart of Hindu philosophy lies the doctrine of
Karma, which explains that the actions undertaken
in one's current lifetime will yield either positive or
negative consequences in future lives.

Karma,
which translates to "work," encompasses the deeds
performed in present live or past existences.

Jyotisha, in essence, is rooted in the profound belief

in rebirth. It subscribes to the notion that the
human body undergoes a cycle of 100 thousand
births and deaths, all in pursuit of the soul's journey
toward salvation.
According to this belief, the human form serves as
nothing more than a garment for the soul.

The soul is the true essence that governs the body.

 Gita Upanishads
In the "Bhagavad Gita,“
Lord Krishna teaches us that the Soul is the
root cause of both birth and rebirth, driven
by its unfulfilled commitments and desires.

This unfulfilled promise is reflected in

Jyotisha, or Astrology, where we observe
the consequences of these karmic patterns
in a person's horoscope or JATAKA.

The belief that the Soul will return to Earth

to seek wisdom or experience the lack of it
is what reinforces the concept of rebirth.
BHAGWAT GEETA
• vasamsi jirnani yatha vihaya
navani grhnati naro ’parani
tatha sarirani vihaya jirnany
anyani samyati navani dehi"
(Bhagwat Gita: Chapter Two verse 22
• Sri Krishna proclaimed: Just as a person
discards worn-out clothing to embrace
fresh attire, the soul likewise embraces
new life forms, leaving behind the old
and obsolete ones.

• The body is likened to a "Vastra" or

garment that envelops the soul. Each soul
is an integral part of me. Therefore, when
death occurs, it should be viewed as a
change of attire, as the soul transitions
into a new body in alignment with the
cumulative impact of its past karmas, in

pursuit of the journey toward salvation .

HELIO CENTRIC

In the vastness of space, nothing stays still. Satellites, planets, and

stars are always on the move, through the cosmos. Each planets
orbit around the Sun,
This idea is the heliocentric model, which helps us understand how
planets, including our home planet Earth, move in relation to the
Sun.

Picture the Sun as the center of a stage, with planets like actors
performing in a set orbit around it.
Each planet has its unique path, creating a beautiful dance of
celestial bodies.

Studying this dance gives us a deeper understanding of the

universe and our place within it.
The heliocentric system opens our eyes to the wonders of cosmic
order, showing us how interconnected everything is in the grand
scheme.
.
HELIO CENTRIC

Nothing remains motionless in the vast expanse of

the universe; satellites, planets, and stars are in
perpetual motion. The Geo -centric system is
established by considering the relative positions of
planets, including Earth, in relation to the Sun.
In Vedic Astrology, the Sun, the Moon, Mercury,
Venus, Mars, Saturn, and Jupiter exert their influence
on the Earth's inhabitants.
These celestial bodies follow elliptical orbit as they
revolve around the Sun and rotate on their axis.
Meanwhile, Earth revolves on its axis, tilted at an
angle of 23.5 degrees and orbits the Sun over 365.6
days.
ASTRONOMY

In Vedic Astrology, the Sun, the Moon, Mercury,

Venus, Mars, Saturn, and Jupiter exert their
influence on the Earth's inhabitants.

These celestial bodies follow elliptical orbit as they

revolve around the Sun and rotate on their own
axis.
Meanwhile, Earth revolves on its axis, tilted at an
angle of 23.5 degrees and orbits the Sun over 365.6
days.
 Inferior Planets
An Inferior planet is a planet between
Earth and the Sun.
These planets are Mercury & Venus,
Mercury: This planet is the closest to the
Sun and does not have its own axial
rotation.
Instead, it revolves around the Sun
in a fixed orbit, completing one full
revolution in 88 Earth days.
It is important to note that Mercury never
strays more than 27 degrees from the Sun
in orbit.
PLANET
VENUS
Venus: Is the second planet from
the Sun, Venus is the most brilliant celestial
object in the night sky.
Often referred to as Earth's twin sister
due to their similar size and diameter,
Venus has a unique feature of cloud cover
that has made it challenging to precisely
determine its rotation period.
Venus completes its orbit around
the Sun in 224.7 Earth days.
Venus in its orbit from the Sun does not stray more than
43 degrees.
.
 Superior Planets
The planets that are after Earth in the Solar System are called the Superior Planets. These
planets are Mars Jupiter and Saturn. These superior planets, located beyond Earth's orbit,
offer fascinating insights into the diversity of celestial bodies within our solar system.

Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system

Mars, the fourth planet in our Solar
System, after Earth . With a size slightly
exceeding half that of Earth.
Mars completes one rotation on its axis
approximately every 24.6 hours. And
orbit around the Sun is elliptical and
takes roughly 687 Earth days to
complete a full revolution, Mars is
accompanied by two small moon
and is classified as a superior planet.
It is the fifth planet in terms of its distance from
the Sun.
The gap between Mars and Jupiter is significantly
larger than the distance between Mars and Earth.
Jupiter has a rapid rotational period of about 10
hours.
Its orbital period around the Sun is approximately
4,332 Earth days, roughly equivalent to 11.86 Earth
years.
Jupiter boasts an impressive total of nine moons.
Superior Planets

SATURN
Saturn is the sixth planet in our solar
system and is considered a superior planet
as well as the farthest one.
It completes one rotation on its axis in
approximately 10 hours.
Saturn's orbital period around the Sun is
about 10,832.327 Earth days, which is
approximately 29.46 Earth years.
Saturn's orbit is notably eccentric.
Saturn is famous for its distinctive ring
system.
Nodes in Vedic Jyothisha
The Lunar Nodes:
Sage Maharishis Parashara has recognized the Moon's nodes, famously
named Rahu and Ketu

.RAHU AND KETU

These nodes represent the points at which the Moon's path intersects
with the Sun's trajectory across the orbit.
bearing the epithets 'Dragon Head' for Rahu and 'Dragon Tail' for Ketu.

The North node, Rahu, signifies the Moon's passage as it crosses the
Sun's path from the Southern to the Northern Hemisphere.

Conversely, the South node, Ketu, designates the Moon’s passage

across the Sun's from the Northern to the Southern Hemisphere.

The nodes' movement is perpetually retrograde in nature, giving them

the appearance of retracing their steps through the Zodiac.

Interestingly, these two celestial points maintain a constant distance of

precisely 180 degrees apart from each other.
Planets not considered in Vedic Jyothisha

Sage Parashar , the father of Vedic Jyothisha has given the

maximum lifespan of a human as 120 years.
It is therefore the Planet Uranus and Neptune are not
considered is Vedic Jyothisha.

URANUS, & NEPTUNE

Two celestial bodies that are not considered in
Vedic Jyothisha.
URANUS,
For instance, completes a full orbit
around the Sun in approximately 85 years
NEPTUNE,
Is the farthest known planet in our solar
system accomplishes this journey
in approximately 165 years.

Signs or Rashi
The Zodiac is located on a celestial pathway, a wide band with 9 degrees of
width on either side of the eastern horizon. through which all the planets
pass through.

The Zodiac is the basis of Jyothisha, and it is a circular entity comprising

360 degrees, devoid of a specific starting point; it exists as a continuous
circle of radiant energy.

Sage Maharishi Parashara, in his wisdom, established the reference point at

0 degrees, within the Zodiac sign of Aries in the nakshatra of Ashwini.

To facilitate an understandable grasp of the Zodiac, it has been subdivided

into 12 equal segments, each spanning 30 degrees.

In the domain of Hindu Vedic Jyotisha, this circular representation is

referred to as the Rashi Chakra.
Maharishi Parashara at this point has mentioned the nakshatra, which is
covered in Chapter no 12.

For simplicity and enhanced understanding the ancient sages devised

various visual representations to delineate these 12 equal segments.

PRINCIPLES GOVERNING PLANETS

Sage Parashara has established the

foundational principles governing planets,
including their lordships, qualities, domains of
influence, and associated deities.
He has provided insights into the interplay of
friendship, enmity, and neutrality among these
Planets, and the complex compound
relationships that arise between them.

Sagittarius Scorpio Libra Virgo

Specifically, if a planet is debilitated in a Trika bhava (a detrimental house),
the adverse effects are mitigated to some extent. This mitigation occurs due
to the planet's reduced influence on both owning the lordship of the bhava
and its placement within the chart.
Thus, the positions of planets play a crucial role in shaping astrological
analyses and interpretations, highlighting the intricate relationship between
celestial bodies and human destinies.

We will learn the meanings of Bhava, Ascendant or Lagna in the upcoming

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: ZODIAC & PLANETS

Sage Parashara has provided valuable insights to

enhance our comprehension of a birth chart.
As a Jyotishi, one employs various tools to interpret a
chart.
To facilitate this, Sage has introduced concepts such
as Kendra Stana and Trikona Stana in the Bhava chart.
The identification of Yoga Karaka planets from the
Zodiac chart,
The identification of Doshas, Badhaka Stana, and the
planetary influences from the Zodiac chart.
These elements serve as guiding principles for a
more profound understanding of the birth chart.
KEY BHAVA / HOUSES OBSERVED FROM BIRTH CHART

Sage Parashara, in his thesis, has assigned alternative names to the bhavas, distinct from their inherent qualities as houses:
1.Kendra Stana encompasses houses 1, 4, 7, and 10. These potent Kendra houses facilitate seamless growth and are also
known as the "Vishnu Stana.
2.Trikona Stana consists of houses 1, 5, and 9. These Trikona houses bestow blessings for growth and are referred to as the
"Lakshmi Stana.
3.The 1st bhava enjoys a unique designation as it falls under both Kendra and Trikona categories. Consequently, the 1 st house
is blessed by both Lord Vishnu and Goddess Lakshmi. For any seamless growth, the strength of the 1 st bhavas cannot be
underestimated.
4.Apachaya Stana includes houses 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, and 12. While Jyothisha texts don't explicitly define their significance,
the term “Apa" in Sanskrit means "reduce." Hence, these houses can be termed "dependent houses" since they rely on other
bhavas/houses for their growth.

5. Upachya Stana consists of the 3rd, 6th, 10th, and 11th houses, and
the term "Upa" implies advancement or growth. In this context:

The 3rd house signifies courage.

The 6th house symbolizes growth through challenges and struggles.
The 10th house represents the results arising from the 3rd and 6th houses.
The 11th house reflects overall gains derived from these houses.

6. Pana-para Stana (Succeedent houses) encompasses the 2nd, 5th, 8th, and 11th houses.
These houses are characterized by uninterrupted progression:

The 2nd house continues the themes of the 1st house.

The 5th house follows the patterns of the 4th house.
The 8th house carries forward the energy of the 7th house.
The 11th house extends the influences of the 10th house.

7. Apoklim Stana (Cadent houses) includes the 3rd, 6th, 9th, and 12th
houses. "Apo" suggests loss, waste, or destruction, and in this context:

•The 3rd house represents a loss relative to the 4th house.

•The 6th house signifies a loss concerning the 7th house.
•The 9th house represents a loss concerning the 10th house.
•The 12th house indicates a loss about the 1st house.

In another perspective, Apoklim houses are houses of loss in connection

with the Kendra houses.
 YOGA KARAKA
A planet that rules both the Kendra and Trikona Sthana is called a Yoga
Karaka.
However, it's important to note that not all astrological signs (Rashi’s) possess a Yoga Karaka
Taurus planet.
Saturn Among the 12 Rashi’s, the following have Yoga Karaka planets:
Aquari Cancer Taurus Lagna/Ascendant: Saturn is the 9 th and 10th Bhava lord.
us Mars Cancer Lagna: Mars is the 5th and 10th Bhava lord.
Venus Leo Lagna: Mars is the 4th and 9th Bhava lord.
Leo Libra Lagna: Saturn is the 4th and 5th Bhava lord.
Capric Mars Capricorn Lagna: Venus is the 5th and 10th Bhava lord.
orn Aquarius Lagna: Venus is the 4th and 9th Bhava lord
Venus
Libra It's worth noting that the remaining Rashi do not share the same planet as the lord for Kendra
Saturn and Trikona Sthana in their respective charts.

Result: When a yoga karaka planet is present, it can transform a malefic planet, ensuring that
the Planet produces favourable outcomes, particularly during their Dasa or Bukthi periods. Saturn
and Mars are inherently considered malefic planets, but for the specific Ascendants mentioned,
their positions and aspects can yield positive effects. However, we cannot completely remove
their natural Malefice nature.
Venus, on the other hand, is a natural benefic planet and serves as a yoga karaka. Even when
poorly positioned, its negative effects are significantly mitigated.

For an Aries Ascendant, Mercury,

other planets. When Mercury
stands alone, it tends to function
as a natural benefic.
Furthermore, the 6th house is a

 BADHAKA STHANA
The concept of Badhaka Sthana is a result based on the sign or Rashi in Jyothisha.

The term "Badhaka" signifies hindrances or obstacles encountered in our lives.

For Movable Signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn), the 11th Bhava becomes the
Badhaka Sthana, and the Badhaka houses are Aquarius, Taurus, Leo, and Scorpio. The
lords associated with these Badhaka houses are Saturn, Venus, Sun, and Mars

In Fixed Signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius), the 9th Bhava serves as the Badhaka
Sthana, with the Badhaka houses being Capricorn, Aries, Cancer and Libra. The lords
of these Badhaka houses are Saturn, Mars, Moon, & Venus.

For Dual Signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces), the 7th Bhava is designated as the
Badhaka Sthana, and the Badhaka houses consist of Sagittarius, Pisces, Gemini, and
Virgo. The lords governing these Badhaka houses are Jupiter and Mercury.

Result During the Dasa or Bukthi of the Badhaka lord, the houses corresponding to
the 11th, 9th, and 7th will confront obstacles

 Trika Bhava & Lord of 6th, 8th, & 12th

Trika, a Sanskrit term, carries the meaning of "triple" or "threefold," encompassing

multiple interpretations derived from various Sanskrit texts.
In the realm of Jyothisha, Trika Bhava signifies the presence of three malefic houses or
bhavas within an astrological chart.

These malefic houses correspond to the 6th, 8th, and 12th houses in every chart. They
yield unfavourable outcomes, both due to their inherent lordships and their specific
placements of the lord within the chart.

Among these three, the 8th house 8th lord holds a distinctive position as the most malefic
bhava & lord It is often referred to as the “Randa Stana,” symbolizing attributes such as a
hole, an aperture, a cavity, or an opening.
This symbolism underscores the challenges and transformative experiences associated
with the 8th house.
During the Dasa Bukthi of planets placed in or aspecting the 8th house or the ruler of the
8th house, life-altering decisions are often made, or profound transformations occur.
 Trika Bhava & Lord - 6th, 8th, & 12th
The 12th house and its ruling lord are considered moderately malefic. This is
because the 12th house governs matters related to loss and endings,
contributing to challenges and transitions in one's life journey.

Conversely, the 6th house and its ruling lord are regarded as the least malefic
among the three. The 6th house is also categorized as an "Upachya Stana,"
signifying its potential for growth and improvement amidst challenges.

In summary, Trika in Sanskrit denotes the concept of "triple" or "threefold,"

and in Jyothisha, it signifies the presence of three malefic houses and
malefic Lords in an astrological chart, namely the 6th, 8th, and 12th houses,
each with varying degrees of malefic influence based on their lordships and
placements.
 Trishadaya-Adhipatis &Ashtma-Adhipati
The 8th house and its ruling lord are referred to as the "Asthma Adipati.“

While the lords of the 3rd, 6th, and 11th houses share a common lord, they are collectively termed the
"Trisha Daya Adipati"
When the Asthma Adipati and Trisha Daya Adipati share a common lord then It's crucial to note that
when the 8th lord along with any one of the Trisha Daya Adipati is common it is considered to be
highly malefic and During their dasa or Bukthi periods, the lord of Trish Adaya Adipati’s being the
same as Asthma- Adipati can yield unfavorable outcomes.

For Taurus ascendant, the 8th house, and the 11th lord is Jupiter.
For Virgo, both the 3rd and 8th lords are Mars.
For Scorpio, the 8th and 11th lords are Mercury.
For Pisces, the 3rd and 8th lord s are Venus
Conclude
Despite a planet's natural beneficence, when it holds the titles of Trihadaya Adipati and Asthma
Adipati, it tends to produce unfavorable results due to these significant house associations .
The effects are generally felt during the Dasa or Bukthi of these Planets
 YOGAS
Sage Parashara, In his thesis, the Brihat Parasara Hora Sastra, has illustrated
the subject of Yogas, particularly in Chapter 35, known as Nabhasa Yoga,
and Chapter 36, referred to as Vividha Yoga.

The term "Nabhasa" originates from Sanskrit and conveys the essence of an
open expanse, similar to the boundless sky or the divine naval of Lord
Vishnu.

These Yogas are characterized by specific conditions that apply to them;

thus, they are not extensively employed in astrological practice.
Remarkably, there exist a staggering 1800 distinct combinations within
these Yogas, comprising of Asraya Yogas, Dala Yoga, Akritri Yoga, and
Sankhya Yoga etc.

On the other hand, "Vividha" denotes diversity or dissimilarity, aptly

describing the array of Yogas summarized within this category. These Yogas
encompass various facets, with a notable focus on Planetary Yogas.
In the realm of Jyothisha, the term "Yoga," signifies the union of two
Planets.
contd…..
RAJA YOGA’S
In Chapter 36 of Brihat Hora Shastra, Sage Parashara introduces the
classification of Yogas. Firstly, he categorizes Yogas into two main types:
Subha Yoga in Ascendant/Lagna: This type of yoga occurs when a benefic
planet is placed in the Ascendant or Lagna. It can also manifest if benefic
planets are positioned in both the 2nd and 12th houses, or in all three
houses: 1st, 2nd, and 12th.

Asubha Yoga in the Ascendant/Lagna: Conversely, an Asubha Yoga forms

when malefic planets are situated in the Ascendant or Lagna. It can also
occur if malefic planets occupy both the 2nd and 12th houses, or all three
houses: 1st, 2nd, and 12th.

Sage Parashara further elaborates that the quality of Subha Yoga varies:
Subha Yoga is considered good when the benefic planet is placed in the
Ascendant.
It becomes better when the benefic planet is positioned in the 2nd or 12th
house from the Ascendant.
The best results are expected when benefic planets are present in all three
houses: 1st, 2nd, and 12th.

On the other hand, adverse results can be anticipated when an Asubha Yoga
is formed.
It's essential to note that this analysis is quite broad and must consider
other factors such as planetary dignity, including factors like Planetary
Avasta's.
 RAJA YOGA’S
Sage Parashara, in Chapter 36 discussing Vividha Yogas, has explained several yoga,
including Gaja Kesari Yoga, Alma yoga, Paravata Yoga, Kahala Yoga, Chamara Yoga, Sankha
Yoga, Bheri Yoga, Mridanga Yoga, Srinatha Yoga, Sarada Yoga, Matsya Yoga, Koorma Yoga,
Khadga Yoga, Lakshmi Yoga, Kusuma Yoga, Kalanidhi Yoga, Kalpadrum Yoga, Trimurthi
Yoga, and Lagnadhi Yoga.
Given below explanation of some of the main Yogas
Gaja Kesari Yoga is a significant yoga that emerges when certain conditions are met, To
form Gaja Kesari Yoga:
Jupiter should be in a Kendra (1st, 4th, 7th, or 10th) from the Moon.
There are exceptions to this yoga:
Jupiter should not be Aspected or associated with Mars, Saturn, or Rahu/Ketu.
Jupiter should not be in Capricorn (it’s a sign of debilitation).
The Moon should not be Aspected by Mars, Saturn, or Rahu/Ketu.
The Moon should not be in a waning phase or approaching the new Moon.
The Moon should not be in Scorpio (its sign of debilitation).
When these conditions are met, Gaja Kesari Yoga is formed.

Results of Gaja Kesari Yoga: Natives possessing Gaja Kesari Yoga exhibit high levels of
energy, diligence, and industry. They display the courage akin to that of a lion and often
achieve financial prosperity. These individuals may hold leadership positions within their
communities, countries, or villages.
Additionally, they tend to enjoy long lives. Even if the Gaja Kesari Yoga is weak, it can
nullify many negative influences in the lives of the natives.
 Raja Yoga’s

Raja Yogas are configurations formed by the positions of Planets, either

from the Ascendant (Lagna) or from the Moon (Chandra Lagna). There
are approximately 108 distinct combinations of Raja Yogas.
These Yogas are considered concerning both the Lagna and the Moon.
Any connection between Kendra houses 1, 4, 7, and 10, either among
themselves or with each other, forms a Raja Yoga. Or Kendra lords with
Trikona lords forms Raja Yoga
The outcomes of these Raja Yogas are as follows:
The house in which the Yoga is formed will yield beneficial results,
depending on the planets involved.
These placements indicate potential and promise in the birth chart.
They became active during the Dasa and Bukthi periods of the
associated planetary lords.
Natural benefic planets enhance the potential of these Yogas.
Functional benefic planets also strengthen the promise of Raja Yogas.
EXPECTATIONAL RAJA YOGA’S

Kedar Yoga: Kedar Yoga occurs when all seven planets are positioned in only
four specific signs (Rashi), excluding Rahu and Ketu.

Result: Individuals with Kedar Yoga may amass wealth and agricultural land.
They tend to be affluent and have a strong inclination towards social service.
They often stand out from others, command respect, and possess inner
courage.

Bhava Yoga: Bhava Yoga is a term used to describe yoga formed due to the
influence of the lords of specific houses (Bhava lords).
Result: The Bhava becomes intensified and motivated, amplifying the energy of
the Karaka Tawta associated with that individual house.

Vipreet Raja Yoga: manifests when the rulers of the 6th, 8th, and 12th houses
are located within the 6th, 8th, or 12th houses, or when the respective lords
are situated in such positions. Additionally, it occurs when the lords of these
houses are collectively placed in any of the 6th, 8th, or 12th houses.
Individuals experiencing any variation of Vipreet Raja Yoga frequently undergo
remarkable growth following significant upheavals or challenges.
Expectational Raja yoga’s

Harsha Yoga: Harsha Yoga takes place when the lords of the 6th,
8th, and 12th houses are together in the 6th house.
Result: Individuals with Harsha Yoga may experience good
fortune, possess a healthy body, and enjoy happiness.

Sarala Yoga: Sarala Yoga occurs when the lords of the 6th, 8th,
and 12th houses are positioned in the 8th house.

Result: Those with Sarala Yoga tend to live long lives without
fear, and they often enjoy prosperity.

Vimala Yoga: Vimala Yoga is formed when the lords of the 6th,
8th, and 12th houses are found in the 12th house.

Result: Individuals with Vimala Yoga are typically frugal in their

expenses and exhibit exemplary behaviour towards others. They
have good conduct, and independence, and often achieve fame.
PANCHA MAHA PURUSHAYOGA

Additionally, Sage Parashara discusses various Raja Yogas that are formed based
on planetary positions from the natal chart.
Positional Raja Yogas: These are formed due to the planets' positions in specific
houses.
One notable group of Raja Yogas mentioned is the "Pancha Maha Purusha Yoga,"
which involves five major planets: Mars, Jupiter, Venus, Mercury, and Saturn.
These yogas are explained in detail by Sage Mantreswar in the Phaladeepika in
chapter YOGAS.

Ruchaka Yoga: is created when Mars is positioned either in its exaltation sign or in
its own houses identical to the Kendra's (1,4,7,10) as described in Phaladeepika
chapter 6 YOGAS sloka 1.
Individuals born with Ruchaka Yoga exhibit a formidable and assertive personality.
They possess abundant courage and a natural inclination towards daring
adventures. They possess the ability to take on and complete projects is
remarkable.
Furthermore, the Dasa or the bukthi of Mars significantly boosts their reputation
and fame.

as described in Phaladeepika chapter YOGAS sloka 1.
Results
This yoga bestows individuals with a strong sense of creativity and
potent sexual desires. In the case of Venus being situated in the 7th
house of a male's birth chart, there is often a penchant for beautiful
women. During the Dasa or bukthi periods influenced by Venus, their
creative abilities flourished, leading to the acquisition of fame, but
occasionally accompanied by scandals.

Sasa Yoga, on the other hand, takes form when Saturn is in its
exaltation sign or either Capricorn or Aquarius and is identical to the
Kendra (1,4,7,10 ).
Results
This yoga imparts traits of ambition, independence, ruthlessness, and
the display of leadership qualities. Natives with Sasa Yoga tend to be
fearless and accumulate wealth. During the periods (Dasa) or sub-
periods (bukthi) ruled by Saturn, individuals exhibit a keen sense of
these qualities, often succeeding where others would falter.
Neecha Bhanga Raja Yoga
Neecha Bhanga Raja Yoga: The term "Neecha Bhanga Raja Yoga" is derived from
Sanskrit, where "Neecha" signifies debilitating, and "Bhanga" means
cancellation.
This yoga refers to the cancellation of debilitation of a planet, and it occurs
under the following circumstances:

•When a planet in debilitation receives an aspect from an exalted planet.

•When a debilitated planet is conjunct with an exalted planet.
•When a debilitated planet receives an aspect from the ruler of the house where
it is debilitated.
•When a debilitated planet is located in an angular house (Kendra) relative to the
Ascendant or Moon.
•When a debilitated planet is aspected by the lord of the house where the planet
is exalted.
•When a debilitated planet in the natal chart is exalted in the Navamsha (D-9

•Results
•During the Dasa or Bukthi of the debilitated planet that has undergone
cancellation, the individual initially encounters the adverse effects typically
associated with that planet. Nevertheless, in the latter phase of the Dasa period,
the individual starts to reap the rewards of the cancellation, thereby alleviating
the detrimental influences of the debilitated planet.
 SOLAR YOGAS

Yoga that are influenced by the alignment of planets relative to the

Sun.
Subha Vesi Yoga: Occurs when any planet occupies the 2nd position
from the Sun, excluding the Moon and the Nodes.
Results The 2nd position from the Sun bestows growth, similar to the
2nd position from the Lagna (Ascendant).
Hence, the presence of benefic planets in this alignment promotes
steady and smooth growth. Conversely, if malefic (Papa vesi) planets are
involved, they hinder growth.

Subha Vasi Yoga: Takes place when any planet is positioned in the 12th
position from the Sun, excluding the Moon and the nodes.
Results The 12th position from the Sun is associated with losses. Benefic
planets in this configuration impart a charitable disposition to the
natives, while malefic (Papa Vasi) planets tend to make the natives
greedy with undue expenses.
SOLAR YOGAS

Ubhayachari Yoga: Occurs when planets are

present on both sides of the Sun, excluding the
Moon and the Nodes.
Results
Benefic planets in these positions endow the native
with a generous disposition, and their expenditures
are purposeful. This alignment strengthens their
confidence, fuels ambition, and fosters loyal
relationships with friends and family.
If malefic (Papaachari) planets are involved, self-
doubt prevails, and ambition is lacking.
LUNAR YOGAS
Lunar Yogas are configurations determined by the relative
positions of planets in relation to the Moon. Two such yoga’s are
as follows:
Sunapha Yoga:
Sunapha Yoga manifests when any planet, except for the Sun and
the lunar nodes (Rahu and Ketu), resides in the 2nd house from
the Moon.
Results:
If a benefic planet occupies the 2nd house, it enhances the
qualities associated with that house.
In the presence of a malefic planet in the 2nd house, it can exert
adverse effects on the attributes linked to the 2nd house.
When a combination of both benefic and malefic planets is found
in the 2nd house, the outcomes may exhibit a blend of positive
and negative influences.
Typically, these effects come into play during the Dasa and Bukthi
periods of the planets posted in the 2nd house from the Moon.
LUNAR YOGAS
Anapha Yoga:
is established when any planet, excluding the Sun and the lunar
nodes (Rahu and Ketu), is posted in the 12th house from the
Moon.
Results:
If a benefic planet occupies the 12th house, it tends to bring
contentment to the individual.
The presence of a malefic planet in the 12th house can result in
unnecessary and wasteful expenditures for the native.
Results These effects become more pronounced during the Dasa
and Bukthi periods of the planets situated in the 12th house
relative to the Moon.
Durdhara Yoga:
Any planet other than the Sun and the Nodes in the 2nd and the
12th house from the Moon.
Result: If benefic planets on both sides of the Moon the Native
will be emotionally stable and prosperous.
If malefic on both sides from the Moon, the native will have mood
swings & and wasteful expenditure.
Both Prosperity and expenditure are felt during the Dasa and
Bukthi of the planets placed in these houses.
 LUNAR YOGAS
Kemadruma Yoga:
Arises when there are no planets, except for the Sun and the lunar
nodes, located in either the 2nd or 12th house from the Moon.
Results:
This configuration tends to bring about feelings of sorrow, loneliness,
unhappiness, and difficulty in expressing one's desires.
These emotional challenges become more pronounced during the
Dasa of the Moon if it occurs in isolation, or during the Dasa and
Bukthi periods of the lunar nodes.

Note: It's important to consider the qualities of the Rashi (zodiac

sign) as well, as they can provide additional subtle variations in the
effects of these yogas.
RAJA BHANGA YOGAS
•

Raja Bhanga Yoga is the term used to describe yoga which is

the cancellation of the positive effects of Raja yoga that occurs.

This cancellation typically arises from several astrological

factors, among them the most important ones are:
• Jupiter is positioned in a sign of debilitation with no planet
in exaltation.
• A weak Moon located in the final degrees of a sign or
Rashi.
• The absence of any planets in the Kendra houses.
• The Sun is placed in a sign or Rashi of debilitation.
• The presence of debilitated planets in the Lagna (1st
house) and a malefic planet in the 10th house.

As a result of these factors, the positive outcomes anticipated

by the Raja yoga combinations are nullified or marred in the
astrological chart.
INTRODUCTION TO NAKSHATRA’S
Sage Parashara in his thesis, Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra introduced the
concept of Nakshatras in the third chapter.
These Nakshatras are a crucial element in Vedic Jyothisha, representing
specific groups of stars that appear on an imaginary belt known as the
zodiac.
This zodiac, encircling the Earth is a circle with 360 degrees,
This circle is divided into 27 equal parts, each part measuring 13°.20 ‘and
is referred to as a Nakshatra.
The planets, traverse through these Nakshatras, There are 27 Nakshatras,
beginning with Aswini. Additionally, the same zodiac circle is divided into
12 equal parts, known as Rasi or Signs, commencing with Aries.

Each Nakshatra is precisely 13°. 20’ is divided into 4 padas, each spanning
3 °. 20 ‘.
Within each Sign or Rashi, there are 9 padas, each measuring 3°.20’.

Each planet or Graha is governed by specific Nakshatras, Every planet is

associated with three Nakshatras, depending on its placement within the
Rashi or Sign.
This intricate system forms the foundation of Planetary observations and
interpretations in Vedic Jyothisha.
INTRODUCTION TO NAKSHATRA’S
Nakshatras, or lunar mansions, play a significant role in Vedic
astrology, often associated with the signs of the zodiac, known as
Rashi's.
Each Rashi comprises a set of Nakshatras that influence various
aspects of life and personality traits.

In Vedic Jyotisha, there are 27 Nakshatras spread across the 12 Rashi's.

T
these Nakshatras hold distinct characteristics and attributes that
impact individuals born under them.
They are intricately connected to the movement of the Moon and are
considered essential in determining an individual's nature, behaviour,
and destiny.

Each Nakshatra within a Rashi possesses unique qualities, ruling

deities, and symbolic representations, offering profound insights into
an individual's life path and experiences.
Understanding the Nakshatras within their corresponding Rashi's is
fundamental to interpreting the complex interplay of planetary
influences in Vedic Jyotisha.

Introduction to Shodasa Vargas
Sage Parashara in his thesis has subdivided the Rashi
Chart into multiple divisional charts by assigning
specific degree divisions to create new charts.

In Saravali the commentators have highlighted that

Varga charts play a crucial role in comprehending the
nuances of certain areas of life, offering insights that
may have been eluded in the Rashi Chart.

With many events occurring in a single Bhava or

house, pinpointing or predicting individual events can
be challenging.

Varga Charts come to our aid in understanding these

events.

The Rashi chart is divided into 16 divisional charts

known as Shodasa Vargas.
The Names of the Shodasa Vargas

 NAVAMSHA DIVISIONAL CHART 9
Sage Parashara’s in the inspiring thesis underscores the fundamental role played by the Divisional Chart
9, also known as the Navamsha.

The Navamsha is the 9th part of the Rashi chart, and each Rashi is divided into 9 parts of 3 °20 ‘ each. &
is called the pada or padas.

In any chart, whether meticulously constructed by hand or generated using computerized tools, the
Navamsha chart is inseparable from the Rashi chart. This dual representation serves a profound purpose,
yielding a three-way insight into the astrological context:

1. Strength of the Planets:

2. Quality of the Spouse
3. Quality of Marriage

4.Strength of the Planets:

The Navamsha chart undertakes the role of assessing the planetary strength. It does this by examining
the placement of the planets situated in specific houses.

2. Planets in their own house are considered potent.

A} Planet in their exalted house is considered to give full results.
B) Planets residing in the houses of their friendly counterparts also contribute to their strength.
C) Planets placed in their adversaries may experience challenges in manifesting their influences.
D) When a planet is debilitated in the Navamsha chart, it may exhibit diminished strength.
 NAVAMSHA DIVISIONAL CHART 9
2. Quality of the Spouse:
The Navamsha chart is a foundation for knowing marital quality in Jyotisha.
It gives the attributes of the spouse and plays a pivotal role in delineating the characteristics
and potential traits of the life partner.
This aspect assists in a more comprehensive understanding of the marital union.

3.Quality of Marriage:
More than characterizing the spouse, the Navamsha chart also serves to define the overall
quality and dynamics of the marriage itself. It provides valuable insights into the compatibility,
harmony, and challenges that may be encountered within the marital relationship.

In sum, Sage Parashara's recognition of the Navamsha chart as an integral part of Vedic
Jyotisha is rooted in its ability to offer a multi-faceted analysis.
It empowers astrologers and enthusiasts to gauge planetary strength, interpret the attributes
of the spouse, and gain a deeper understanding of the marriage's quality,
thereby enhancing the accuracy and completeness of astrological readings.
 CONSTRUCTION OF NAVAMSHA CHART – D9
In Jyotisha, the zodiac signs are known as Rashi’s,

 Each Rashi or Sign is subdivided into 9 equal parts.

• This is called the Navamsha Or D9 chart.
• Each part measuring 3°20’.
 This division is referred to as "Padas.“
 The position of a planet within a specific degree corresponds to the associated
Navamsha.As seen below.

HINDU CALANDER PANCHANG

• According to the Vedic Puranas, it is believed that reciting

the names of the Panchang elements can bring blessings
from the Supreme Being. Each aspect of the Panchang has a
unique influence:

• Uttering the Vara (Day of the Week) is thought to promote

longevity.

• Focusing on the Nakshatra (Star the Moon is placed in) is

believed to aid in dissolving negative karmas.

• Paying attention to the Tithi (Moon Phase) facilitates wealth

accumulation.

• Embracing the Yoga is believed to ward off afflictions.

• Engaging with Karana is thought to lead to the desired

outcome.
PANCHANG: REPRESENTS THE FIVE LIMBS
The first element among these components is Vara, which means The Week.
The Sanskrit names along with the representation of the Planets for the days
of the week are as follows:

Tithi, signifying a lunar day, spans from sunrise to
sunset

.
There are 15 Tithis that cycle within the 30-day lunar month.
The Tithis commence from the New Moon and extend to the Full Moon, constituting the 15 Tithis
known as the Shukla Paksha, which represents the bright, waxing phase of the moon's cycle.
The second phase of the Moon's cycle runs from Full Moon to New Moon and is referred to as
Krishna Paksha, the dark half or waning phase of the Moon’s cycle.

• Auspicious Days If the Tithis coincide with the 1st Prapada, 6th Sasthi, or 11th Ekadashi falling on a
Friday, OR if the 2nd Dwitiya, 7th Saptami, or 12th Dwadashi aligns with a Wednesday, it is deemed
auspicious, suggesting that positive outcomes may be attained.
• INAUSPICIOUS DAYS – there is a fear of hurdles, obstructing the accomplishment of the work. The
names of these inauspicious days have been given as follows:

• Dagdha Yoga, known as the "burnt" Yoga, occurs when the 12th Tithi falls on Sunday, the 11th on
Monday, the 5th on Tuesday, the 2nd or 3rd on Wednesday, the 6th on Thursday, the 8th on Friday,
and the 9th Tithi on Saturn.
• Hutasana Yoga, named after "one who burns offerings," occurs when the 12th Tithi falls on Sunday,
the 6th on Monday, the 7th on Tuesday, the 8th on Wednesday, the 9th on Thursday, the 10th on
Friday, and the 11th Tithi on Saturday.

• Visha Yoga, which translates to "poison" Yoga, manifests when the 4th Tithi aligns with Sunday, the
6th with Monday, the 7th with Tuesday, the 2nd with Wednesday, the 8th with Thursday, the 9th
with Friday, and the 7th Tithi with Saturday.

• Samvartaka Yoga, known as "dissolution" Yoga, is formed when the 1st Tithi occurs on Wednesday
and the 7th Tithi falls on Sunday. It is noteworthy that Samvartaka Yoga is regarded as one of the
most unfavourable combinations of Vara/Tithi Yoga.

• . Inauspicious Tithi to be considered when muthas are for House warming, marriage, and travel.
