Timing & Dashas

Dasha Analysis — Reading Mahadasha & Antardasha

The Sun is the karaka of the mahadasha and the Moon of the antardasha: judge a mahadasha by the planet's house and lordship from lagna, and an antardasha by the arudha padas its lord occupies or has argala on. PVNR works it through his own D-24. Shani dasha, with Saturn as 8th and 9th lord in the 3rd, gave Sanskrit learning, discipline and laziness in starting. Moon antardasha (1986–88), with the Moon in A5 and A11 and 12th from A6, gave a state rank and IIT selection without struggle. Guru antardasha (1992–94), with Jupiter in A7 and A8, ended his formal education in July 1993 and began his continuous study of astrology. The page also separates the 3rd from lagna, A3 and the 3rd from Arudha Lagna.

Rasi, D60 & D6 Health Analysis — Student Chart (Leo Lagna)

A student's Leo-lagna chart read live in class. The rasi chart is read planet by planet with the D-60 amsa each planet occupies: Saturn in lagna in Sarpa, Rahu in the 8th in Ghora, the 10th lord Venus in Kshitisha, lagna lord Sun in Deva, 12th lord Moon in Amrita, and a dharma-karmadhipati yoga in the 10th through the Mercury–Venus parivartana. For his health PVNR starts Vimshottari from lagna, finds Rahu dasha running with Rahu in A6, and goes to D-6: Rahu, Ketu and the Sun together in the 11th, the Hara sthana. Saturn and Mercury antardashas involve the badhaka sthana of D-6, Ketu gives no relief, and the D-6 lagna lord Venus, with argala on the afflicting planets, ends the trouble. Body parts are taken from the natural zodiac; the remedy is Aditya Hridayam.

India's Independence Chart — Mundane Analysis

India's 1947 chart read dasha by dasha at three levels: the Rashi chart for what physically happens, the D60 for the karma underneath, and the Navamsa for relations with other countries. The 1998 nuclear test shows the rule that a mahadasha is read from houses and an antardasha from Arudhas — Venus as lagna lord in the 3rd, then Rahu's argala on A3. Also covered: Saturn as Yogakaraka in Komala amsa, Mercury in Davagni, Ketu burning the 2nd of D60, the Vipreet Raj Yoga of Venus and Saturn in the Navamsa, and the 6th lord Sun in the Navamsa lagna.

Birth Time Rectification via Navamsa

A recorded birth time always has a window, and the dependable way to close it is to test known events against the divisional charts. The Navamsa lagna holds a sign for about 14 minutes, so the first check is how close it is to a border. In the example, an 8:15 PM chart with Aries Navamsa cannot explain divorce proceedings in Venus antardasha; three minutes earlier, with Pisces Navamsa, Venus is the 8th lord sitting in A8 and Saturn in Upapada explains the marriage. The page also separates 7th house, A7, Upapada and 7th from Arudha Lagna, and gives the 8th-from-7th rule for a second marriage.

DKMT Trikonas, Dasha Systems & the Subtle Charts

The review that opens the class: pick the right divisional chart, the Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha trikonas, lagna versus arudha, and karaka, rasi drishti, argala and graha drishti as roles in a project. Then what each dasha traces: Moola the past-life root, Drig the blessings of guru and God, Sudasha the travel of Lakshmi from Sri Lagna, Narayana the effort of the true self, and Vimshottari the mind, the one dasha to use in Kali Yuga. Dashas reset at birth; the womb has its own Vimshottari started from the Sun's nakshatra and compressed to nine months (Adhana Chakra). The Punya Chakra is the chart of the moment of death, and the Ajna Chakra, ruled by Jupiter, is the seat of intuition.

Tithi Pravesha — The Annual Lunar Chart

Tithi Pravesha (TP) is the annual chart cast for the birthplace at the moment the birth tithi returns with the same fraction elapsed. The lord of the sunrise-based hora at that moment rules the year, and Tithi Ashtottari Dasha times events inside it. PVNR works four cases: his 1987 TP (state first rank and IIT selection in a 19-day Sun dasha), his 1994 TP (going abroad, with Rahu 11 minutes of arc from the Jalapatana Sahama), a student's marriage (Navamsa Lagna rectified from Virgo to Libra, then the 2003-04 TP), and the same student's 2004-05 TP. The Panchanga lords act as the king's cabinet; the Yoga Lord governs the binding of people.

Narayana Dasha — Introduction

Narayana Dasha: a sign-based (Rashi) dasha that shows what is actually happening on the ground — reality vs. Vimshottari's mind perception. Available for every Varga chart (Rashi, Navamsa, Dasamsa). Applied to a student chart: the marriage falls in Aquarius dasha, Aries antardasha of the Navamsa Narayana Dasha.

Birth Time Rectification via Navamsa Events

A lagna 3 minutes from a Navamsa border: Capricorn or Sagittarius? The marriage (late 1989, Jupiter MD/AD/PD) fits Sagittarius better on Vimshottari alone, but the Tithi Pravesha chart of the year and the Navamsa Narayana Dasha (Aquarius) both hold the lagna at Capricorn. Do not move the birth time on one dasha clue.

Marriage Year Analysis — TP & Navamsa Convergence

Confirming a marriage year using the Tithi Pravesha (TP) chart of 1989 and its Navamsa: Venus is the Hora Lord of the year and its 7th lord, the lagna lord in the 7H of the TP Navamsa with Ketu, and the Upapada lord. When the ruler of the year, the 7th house and the Navamsa all point to the same planet, the year of marriage can be called with confidence — the exact sub-period is harder.

Marriage Timing — Rectification via Annual Chart & Upada

A birth time uncertain by 20 minutes is rectified from one event: marriage on December 8, 1986, in Ketu dasha, Venus antardasha. With the given time the navamsa lagna is Sagittarius, Venus is 6th and 11th lord and cannot give marriage, and the navamsa of that year’s Tithi Pravesha shows no marriage. Twelve minutes earlier, the annual navamsa has the 7th lord in lagna, a Jupiter–Venus parivartana, Venus in Upada in rasi and Ketu in Upada in navamsa; the natal navamsa lagna becomes Scorpio, where Ketu is lagna co-lord and Venus the exalted 7th lord. The 7th house is the relationship, Upada the formal marriage; Venus is the karaka of marriage for love, Ketu of marriage for the lineage.

Birth Time Rectification & Narayana Dasha Introduction

How to rectify a birth time: pick the divisional chart whose lagna sits nearest a border, start with the higher charts (D-9, D-10) where only two or three lagnas are possible, and test each against known events. For a Virgo lagna at 19°53' the navamsa lagna changes from Gemini to Cancer 28 seconds after the given time. The marriage of May 1997 in Mercury–Saturn decides it: Saturn is 8th lord from Gemini but 7th lord in lagna from Cancer, and the Narayana dasha of navamsa then running, Capricorn, is the 8th from Gemini and the 7th from Cancer. Also taught: Vimshottari shows the mind's outlook while Narayana dasha shows what happens on the ground, the mahadasha is judged loosely and the antardasha strictly, and the 1997 Tithi Pravesha chart with Venus as ruler of the year.

D3 Extension — Mother-in-Law & Graha Malika Yoga

A sibling's mother-in-law in the Drekkana: find the sibling's lagna, take the Upapada from it for the spouse, and the 4th sign from that Upapada is the spouse's mother. In the example Sun sits in the sister-in-law's sign and Saturn in her mother's, which shows friction between the two. Graha Malika Yoga in the same Rashi chart runs from Venus, the Atmakaraka and 9th lord, to Moon, lord of A9 and A8: the Atmakaraka's dasha is hard on material pursuits and good for spiritual growth. Then the conditional nakshatra dashas: when one applies use it in place of Vimshottari, prefer the rarer condition, and how the hora of the lagna and day or night birth are decided — worked on John Kerry's chart, where Dwisaptati Sama Dasha applies.

Marriage Analysis — John Kerry's Navamsa (D9)

John Kerry's Navamsa marriage analysis (birth time rectified from 8:03 to 8:08 AM), timed with Dwi-Saptati Sama Dasha. Sun, 7th lord in the Navamsa lagna → first marriage in Sun-Sun, May 1970. Moon (6th lord in the 7th) and Jupiter (2nd lord = 8th from the 7th) → separation in Moon-Jupiter, 1982–83. The 2nd house, Pisces, aspected by Mars through rāśi dṛṣṭi → second marriage in Mars Dasha.

John Kerry — D10 Career Analysis & Event Timing

John Kerry's career timed in the Dashamsha with Dwisaptati Sama Dasha. Rahu in fiery Leo in the 6th, aspecting the 10th along with Mars, gave war service in Vietnam. Sun, 6th lord in a Pisces lagna, gave idealism about peace: the anti-war testimony in Sun–Moon (1971), a lost race for Congress in Sun–Mars (1972), work as a prosecutor in Sun–Jupiter. Moon in the 7th with lagna lord Jupiter — Maharaja Yoga and Gajakesari — gave his own law firm and a muffin shop in 1979, Lieutenant Governor in Moon–Jupiter (1982), and the Senate in Moon–Venus. Also taught: the 3rd lord shows a short break and the 8th lord a change in career, and an antardasha lord is judged from the dasha lord as well as from lagna.

Conditional Nakshatra Dashas — Complete Rules

The conditional nakshatra dashas (Dwi-Saptati Sama, Shashti Hayani, Chaturashiti Sama, Shatabdika, Shat-trimsha Sama, Ashtottari, Dwadashottari, Shodashottari, Panchottari), each with its condition, tested one by one on a student's chart. When two apply, the rarer condition wins; if equally rare, the one with more years. Shat-trimsha Sama fits exactly half of all charts and gives way to Dwi-Saptati Sama (about one chart in six), the dasha of how desires are fulfilled. Also: the Hora in these conditions is the D-2 half-sign, not the hour; day or night is judged from sunrise; and why Panchottari (Cancer lagna in Rashi and D-12) marks someone who begins something lasting.

Sahamas — Special Points in the Annual Chart

Sahamas are mathematical points in the zodiac, each for one matter: Jalapatana (crossing the ocean), Paradesha (foreign land), Vivaha (marriage), Putra, Punya, Raja. They fall in a different place in every year's chart, so a year is read from the sahamas of its own Tithi Pravesha chart. In the 1984 chart of a student who left India in February 1985, the Hora Lord Mercury owns the 9th and 12th and sits in the 7th, and the lords of both travel sahamas link to Rahu, the 7th lord and Mercury. The move came in Venus dasha of the year, because Venus is with Mercury and gives his results. PVNR explains why he trusts the annual chart most for questions about the next few years.

Muhurta Charts, Ghatika Lagna, Yogada & Special Yogas

When a leader's birth data is hidden or doubtful, the moment he files or accepts a nomination is public: that moment and place are the birth of the candidacy. Read only the Rasi chart, with the usual house meanings applied to the candidacy and the 5th as the house of power. Vajpayee's nomination had Moon in the 8th; Kerry's has the lagna lord in the 2nd from the 5th; Bush's has lagna lord Mars with 5th lord Sun in the 5th, and Moon passing Rahu on its way to the lagna — a setback, then recovery. The page then teaches Ghatika Lagna, Yogada, Graha Malika Yoga, Kala Sarpa and Kala Amrita Yoga, and Sarpa and Mala Yoga, each checked in the Bush chart.

George W. Bush — Natal Dasha Analysis & Political Power

George W. Bush has Cancer lagna with the 7th lord Saturn in lagna, so Dwi-Saptati Sama Dasha applies. Jupiter Dasha (April 2000 – April 2009) matches the presidency: Moon and Jupiter within 1.5° in Virgo give Gajakesari Yoga and a Raj Yoga of the lagna lord and 9th lord. Jupiter, the 9th lord, is in his Marana Karaka Sthana, the 3rd, and in Vahni shashtiamsa — a noble dharma spread by arms, like fire. The enemies are read from the chara karakas: Saturn replaces Rahu as Gnatikaraka and is in trines to Atmakaraka Venus in the Dasamsa, so the enmity is effortless. The page ends with the party karakas and his 2004 Tithi Pravesha: Hora lord Mercury in a Raj Yoga, Moon a Yogada.

Al Gore — Tithi Pravesha 2008 & Yogada Analysis

How to judge a year from the Tithi Pravesha chart: find the Hora lord, the ruler of the year, and see whether he is in a Raj Yoga. A Raj Yoga with the Hora lord in it fructifies; with the lagna lord in it too, it is almost sure. Al Gore's chart for 2008 has Scorpio lagna and Hora lord Jupiter. Moon (9th lord) and Jupiter (5th lord) are together in Sagittarius, in Ghatika Lagna, with lagna lord Mars opposite in Gemini — all three trine lords on one axis, plus Chandra-Mangala and Guru-Mangala Yoga, and Mars as Yogada. PVNR's reading in 2004: some form of power in that year, with Moon Dasha at election time.

Hillary Clinton — Navamsa Narayana Dasha for Spouse Events

Reading a husband from the wife's Navamsa. In Hillary Clinton's D9 the 7th house, Gemini, becomes Bill Clinton's lagna: Mercury there (orator), Jupiter ruling and aspecting the 10th (law), Sun in the 7th (charisma), Saturn in the 10th aspected by Jupiter (Dharma-Karma Adhipati Yoga). Vimshottari only says he has power in her Venus Dasha (1986–2006). A Navamsa Narayana Dasha started from the stronger of Gemini and Sagittarius narrows it: Cancer Dasha (1983–1994) makes Capricorn his progressed lagna, and Taurus antardasha, holding the Yogakaraka Venus in the 5th, runs Dec 1992 – Nov 1993 — he took office in January 1993.

Identifying a Saint's Chart — Moola Dasha & AK Kendradhi Dasha

How to tell a saint from a materially inclined person: the 3rd and 6th from Arudha Lagna show the manifested fighting nature — the 3rd the first instinct, the 6th the finishing off — and a saint has only benefics there. Worked on Swami Jayendra Saraswati's chart days after his arrest in November 2004: AL in Pisces, Taurus empty, Venus in Leo, Mars the only malefic influence, so the murder charge is against his nature. Then the 9th lord's ṣaṣṭyaṁśa (Deva against Rākṣasa) and Moola Dasha, which shows when past-life karma gives its result: Mercury's Moola Dasha, 1967–1981, and the 0-or-12-years option. Atmakaraka Kendradi Graha Dasha is named as the dasha of the soul's evolution and left for a later class.

Vimshottari from Lagna vs Moon — Tribhagi & TP Dashas

Lagna is the door through which you act in the world, Moon the door through which you react to it. Count the planets in kendras from each; the one with more is the stronger seed for Vimshottari, and a stronger Lagna marks an individualistic person. Sun-based Vimshottari is kept for the conception chart. Tribhagi Vimshottari runs 27 dashas of one-third length through the whole zodiac and shows when a Sahama is activated: here the second-cycle Venus dasha (July 2001 – March 2008) reaches Bandhana Sahama in Purva Phalguni in September–November 2004, the time of the arrest. For the Tithi Praveśa chart the dasha is Tithi Ashtottari — tithi is of jala tattva, so Venus rules — in which the dasha lord's own antardasha comes last. The natal chart still takes precedence; the annual chart times.

Bhoga Formula, Yogada & Retrograde Planets

Rahu dasha read in Jayalalithaa's daśāṁśa. Conjoined planets give each other's results, so Rahu gives Jupiter's and Rahu–Jupiter antardasha gives Rahu's — the 1999 withdrawal of support that cost her everything. A Yogada is a planet that owns, occupies or has rāśi dṛṣṭi on both lagna and Ghatika Lagna (power), or lagna and Hora Lagna (money); a Maha Yogada connects lagna, Ghatika Lagna and Hora Lagna together. The Bhoga rule: count from dasha lord to antardasha lord, count the same again, and read that sign's house from lagna — it is what is experienced, while Paka, the antardasha lord's own sign, is where the effort goes. Retrogression matters only in exaltation or debilitation, where it reverses the dignity.

D30 Trimshamsa — Chart of Sins & Two Types of Dharma

Is Jayalalithaa doing her duty or committing a sin? Her navāṁśa and daśāṁśa are read first: marriage, the dictum on Mercury and Saturn in the navāṁśa, an entertainment career, and the dikpāla aṁśas — Venus and Moon in Yama aṁśa, Sun in Nirṛti aṁśa in the house of power. Then the two dharmas: the navāṁśa shows the dharma that comes from who you are, the 9th house of the daśāṁśa the duty set by your work and your boss. Her 9th lord in the 6th from the 9th means making enemies while following that duty, which proves nothing either way. The navāṁśa Bhoga of Rahu–Mercury falls in the 6th, and in the D-30 — the chart of the Pāpa Puruṣa — she runs the dasha of a planet in lagna and the antardasha of the lagna lord.

Annual TP Power Analysis in Democracy & Papakatariyan on Lagna

Will Jayalalithaa's government fall? K.N. Rao predicted a fall in December 2004 or January 2005; the class reads her Tithi Praveśa charts for 2004, 2005 and 2006 and disagrees. Each year is judged from the hora lord, the lagna lord and the 5th house of power in the annual daśāṁśa. 2004 and 2005 hold. In 2006 the 5th lord is in the 6th, the lagna lord in the bādhakasthāna, Ketu on the rāśi lagna, and Moon — the masses, who decide power in a democracy — is in the 12th from lagna and the 8th from the 5th: an election after that birthday is likely lost. The class closes on the Swami's one flaw: Saturn and Rahu hemming his lagna, active in Saturn–Rahu antardasha, a lapse of judgment that let wrong people near him.

How to Approach a Chart — D4 Residence, Foreign Travel & Lagna Leeway

There is no fixed order for reading a chart: what you look at first depends on the question, the way a doctor orders tests from the symptoms. The one check that always comes first is how far the varga lagna is from changing sign, set against the possible birth-time error; with an hour of uncertainty, start from D-3 and the siblings, not D-10. Foreign travel is read from the 7th (desire), 9th (fortune abroad) and 12th (displacement) houses, the Badhakasthana lord, and D-4, the chart of residence. A student's move to the US in August 1995 is traced through his Rasi and D-4, and then through the 1995 annual chart — Hora Lord, Paradesa and Jalapatana Sahamas — where Saturn's Tithi Ashtottari daśā gave the journey although Mars was the stronger candidate. The lesson drawn: give two or three candidate periods, not one.

Conditional Dashas for Death — Dwisaptati Sama Dasha & Ethics

She died in Vimshottari Mercury–Rahu, and neither planet is a maraka: by Parashara the houses of death are the 2nd and 7th, which point to Mars, Jupiter and Moon. Roundabout chains of dispositors can justify any dasha after the fact and predict nothing. A conditional dasha is read exactly like Vimshottari once its condition is met: her 7th lord Mars is in lagna, so Dwisaptati Sama dasha (72 years) applies, and it gives Jupiter–Moon, the two planets in her 7th. The annual Tithi Pravesha chart then fixes the time to within hours: its Venus dasha, a maraka of that chart, began three days before her death. The class closes on how to speak about death: never say "you will die"; say the period is critical and prescribe Mrityunjaya mantra.

Conditional Dashas — Complete Taxonomy & Chart Rectification Methodology

A student presents his own rectified birth time and the class tests it. First, which dasha to use: the conditional nakshatra dashas Parashara gives, how common each one is, and the ranking — rarest first, longest second; a dasha half the people qualify for gets no priority over Vimshottari. In this chart only the two common ones apply, so Vimshottari is used. Then the rectification itself: list the navamsa lagnas inside the birth window, test the marriage in Jupiter–Ketu on each, confirm it in the Tithi Pravesha chart of the marriage year, and narrow the window with each division that passes. The Bhoga formula shows what an antardasha delivers — marriage in Jupiter–Ketu, astrology in Jupiter–Rahu.

Example Chart — D10 Career, Bhoga Formula & D16 Vehicles

A Dasamsa worked from rectification to timing. Moving the birth time two minutes changes the D10 lagna from Scorpio to Libra and puts Mercury in the 10th, which explains a software career followed by television production. The 10th lord in the 6th makes a workaholic; papakartari on Mercury from Saturn and Rahu acts like a Maharaja Yoga because both own the 5th; the 7th lord Mars in the 3rd and in the Arudha Lagna gives the image of an entrepreneur; the dikpala amsas show the approach to work. The bhoga formula then times the Mercury daśā: bhoga in the 10th for Mercury–Mercury and Mercury–Jupiter, in the 12th for Mercury–Rahu. D16 is the mental sense of pleasure and vehicles, with the kama trikonas and A3 showing a particular trip, read on PVNR's own chart.

D7 Children with Multiple Marriages, Papasthana vs Dusthana & TP Reconciliation

Children in the Saptamsa when there has been an earlier relationship. The usual count from the 5th is for the first marriage only; for the second, start from the 2nd house (8th from the 7th), let the oddity of that house decide the direction, and take the 11th from it as the first child, then every 3rd sign. Applied to the example: a lost pregnancy, then a daughter and a son, with the sex read from the planet that sits with the lord, and the sign itself used when two pakas fall together. Papasthanas are 3, 6 and 11 — the only good houses for Saturn, Mars, Rahu and Ketu; the 8th and 12th are dusthanas but not papasthanas. The running Mercury–Rahu antardaśā is then read by bhoga in the Navamsa, and the 2005 Tithi Pravesha chart by its Hora lord and a badhaka lord in the 12th.

D24 Siddhamsa — Learning and Conditional Dashas Applied to the native

A student asks for a mantra to help him retain what he hears in class; the answer is to look at charts, make predictions and be wrong. The rare conditional nakshatra dashas and their conditions — Chaturaseeti Sama (84 years) applies when the 10th lord is in the 10th — and why they are read exactly like Vimshottari. In D-24 the houses of occult knowledge are the 8th (the knowledge), 11th (learning it), 5th (scholarship) and 2nd (prediction); the Rasi 4th lord shows grasping and the 5th lord retention. The student's D-24 is then read: Atmakaraka Sun with the 11th lord in the 5th, a Raj Yoga on the 2nd–8th axis, the antardashas in which his predictions will come right, and which form of Krishna to pray to.

Narayana Dasha — Rasi Dasha Foundation, Cosmic Framework & Calculations

Narayana Dasha is a Rasi dasha: the progression of lagna, showing what happens on the ground, where Vimshottari shows how the mind takes it. Brahma lives in lagna, Shiva in the 7th house, and Narayana is with the stronger of the two — five rules, applied in order, decide which. The order of the dashas follows Brahma's, Shiva's or Vishnu's progression (movable, fixed or dual starting sign), forward or backward by whether the 9th from the starting sign is odd-footed or even-footed. The length of each dasha is the count from the sign to its lord minus one, with the exceptions for a lord in the sign itself, exalted or debilitated. All of it is worked on the teacher's own chart.

Narayana Dasha — Three Angles of Interpretation & Effort vs Fruits

Three angles for reading a Narayana Dasha, to be mixed: (1) the dasha sign seen from the natal lagna — the house, planets and yogas Narayana activates; (2) the progressed lagna — the dasha sign itself, or the 7th from it when the dashas began from the 7th house — from which the whole chart is read afresh; (3) the Dasha Pravesha Chakra, the chart of the moment the dasha begins, which shows which antardasha delivers. Narayana is effort and Lakshmi is the fruit: Sri Lagna and Sudasha show where she sits. Used with Vimshottari, the overlap of the two dashas narrows the window; Narayana Dasha itself is read only down to antardasha.

Narayana Dasha Applied — Lady's Chart (Adoption, Marriage, Current Dasha)

A student's chart (Gemini lagna, Jupiter on the lagna degree) read with Rasi Narayana Dasha, which starts from the 7th house, Sagittarius. Adoption in Aquarius antardasha of the first dasha: Saturn, who signifies adoption, is 9th lord in the 9th; the D-12 with Sun afflicted in lagna and Moon in the 8th with Ketu shows the parental problem. Marriage in Aries dasha, Libra antardasha — lagna lord and 7th lord together from the progressed lagna, and a Mercury–Venus parivartana in the entry chart. The Gemini dasha running at the time of the class is then read antardasha by antardasha: the start of her astrology study, desire for moksha, children, health and remedies. The class closes on what Narayana Dasha is for — the high-level picture — and on the Narayana Dasha of divisional charts, left for the next class.

PVNR's Own Chart — Sagittarius Narayana Dasha Antardasha Analysis

PVNR recaps the three ways of reading a Narayana Dasha — the dasha sign itself, the progressed lagna, and the Dasha Pravesha Chakra (the chart of the moment the dasha begins, cast at the birthplace) — and applies them to his own Sagittarius dasha of 1985–95. Three antardashas are judged from the entry chart's Cancer lagna and from Gemini as progressed lagna: Sagittarius (debilitated 6th lord, a partial Jaya Yoga — IIT selection and state first rank, May 1987), Aquarius (the 8th house, but one lord is a Yogada in the 5th — first rank in class) and Taurus (Badhaka, 9th and 12th meeting in the 9th — leaving for the US in August 1991). Along the way he explains what the 8th lord wants: hard work, not relaxation.

Jaya Yoga — Victory Over Enemies & George W. Bush D10 Analysis

Jaya Yoga: the 6th lord debilitated and the 10th lord exalted (own sign or Moolatrikona also works, in a less pure form), counted from Lagna only. It gives victory over enemies in the dasha of the 6th or 10th lord. George W. Bush's D-10 has it without modification — 6th lord Jupiter debilitated and 10th lord Mars exalted, both in Capricorn. With the 7th lord Saturn in lagna in the rasi, Dwisaptati Sama Dasha is used: Jupiter mahadasha ran April 2000 to April 2009, starting when he overtook John McCain in the primaries and covering both terms. The page also gives the D-10 rules used later in the class on the puzzle chart: Sun as karaka of service, the 7th as loss of service or business, the 3rd as a short break and the 8th as a long one, and the 5th house, A5 and 5th from Arudha Lagna for landing a job.

Example Chart — Puzzle Chart: Devastating Event Through Narayana Dasha

A puzzle from a mailing list: the native reports a devastating event "last Tuesday" and asks which area of life it was. The class works it out step by step. Narayana Dasha (Aries dasha, Pisces antardasha) from the natal chart and from the entry chart points to career or children: the combust 10th lord joins the 8th lord, Khara. The nakshatra dasha (Shashtihayani, since the Sun is in lagna) puts the bhoga of the sub-period in the 7th of the D-10 — loss of service. The annual Tithi Pravesha chart shows a 5th–6th lord Duryoga with the ruler of the year and the dasha lord in the 3rd of the D-10 and 12th from Arudha Lagna: a job lost, a short break, a fall in image. PVNR then reads when a job returns, the next year's chart (a Raja Yoga with the ruler of the year, a protecting boss) and the next Narayana Dasha. Includes the Marana Karaka Sthana list and the Arudha Lagna rules for image.

Tithi Pravesha Mechanics, Border Chart Rule & Owning vs Occupying

Questions on Tithi Pravesha: the annual nakshatra can be up to three nakshatras from the birth nakshatra; when the tithi comes twice in the sign, tradition takes the second; a birth in an adhika masa makes no difference. Paka and Bhoga in the same house need no special rule. The border rule: a birth time is a window, so check the leeway of the lagna on both sides, every year and in every divisional chart — one Tithi Pravesha in this class sits 21 seconds from the next sign. The close of the class: the houses a planet owns are his agenda, the house he occupies is his resources. Mix the two, never treat them as the same.

TP + Narayana Dasha Applied — Career Change, Unexpected Event & Marriage

Three charts. A student's sudden job change: in the 2004 Tithi Pravesha D-10 the dasha lord Mercury is the 8th lord in the 12th with A10 and A2 — a change in the formal job that ends well — followed by sahamas, the amsa ruler, and the same period read through Capricorn Narayana Dasha and its entry chart. A second student's workplace quarrel of December 29, 2004: Bhoga in the 12th, Paka in the 6th, a yogakaraka in the 12th who is well placed from Arudha Lagna, and the timing of his return to India from the 8th and 5th houses. A lady's chart set as a puzzle: Leo Narayana Dasha gives marriage because the karaka and the 7th lord sit together in the 7th from the progressed lagna, and the antardashas are picked from the dasha entry chart.

Michael Jackson — Bandhana Sahama, Vimshottari & Narayana Dasha Applied

Three annual Tithi Pravesha charts read for imprisonment during the court case: the Hora Lord of the year, his link with the 12th house and 12th lord, and the Bandhana Sahama and its lord. 2004–05 shows no strong link, 2005–06 is mixed, 2006–07 has the 12th lord and the Bandhana Sahama lord with the lagna lord in the 12th. Then the natal chart: why no conditional dasha applies, Mercury dasha and the image, Ketu dasha in the 12th with Ghatika Lagna, Venus dasha from 2013. Last, the Rasi Narayana Dasha of Cancer and Leo by the three principles — activated sign, progressed lagna, entry chart. The teacher's forecast of a jail term was made in February 2005; the native was acquitted that June.

D24 Narayana Dasha for Occult Learning, Free Will & AL Philosophy

Narayana Dasha of a divisional chart: the controlling house (D-10 the 10th, D-24 the 12th, D-20 the 8th), its Rasi lord placed in the division as the seed, the Ketu and Saturn exceptions, and why only the 1st principle is used. The D-24 dasha is then read in three students' charts through the houses of occult knowledge — 8th aptitude, 11th learning, 5th application, 2nd prediction — with a 3rd-house dasha for writing and a strong 9th for finding a guru. D-24 is the chart of evolution and maturity, and must be read with the Rasi. The Arudha Lagna of the D-24, D-10 and D-12 gives the image at school, at work and with parents. The class closes on free will, remedies and what it would take for astrology to be accepted as a science.

Narayana Dasha — Three-Parts Rule: Theory, Avasthas & Sirshodaya Signs

The three parts rule for Narayana Dasha: how to find when, inside one mahadasha, each of its 5–10 possible results is felt. The dasha is cut into three equal parts — one for the sign, one for its lord, one for the planets occupying or aspecting the sign by rasi drishti. The sign chooses first (Sirshodaya = first third, Prishtodaya = last, Ubhayodaya = middle); the lord takes the first or last part still free according to the sign he sits in; the associations get what is left and share it equally in order of advancement in sign. The lord’s third splits into four quarters — house occupied, houses owned, yogas, avastha for a natural benefic, the reverse for a malefic. Also: how to weigh a planet’s state (friend or enemy sign, Uchcha Bala, Sayanadi avastha), and why a divisional-chart dasha sign is not read as a lagna.

PVNR's Chart — Sagittarius Narayana Dasha Three-Parts Analysis (1985–1995)

The three parts rule applied to PVNR’s own Sagittarius Narayana Dasha (April 1985 – April 1995, ten years, 4th house). Jupiter, the lord, sits in Sirshodaya Libra and takes the first third (Apr 1985 – Aug 1988): scholarship money from the 4th lord in the 2nd, state first and IIT entrance in the quarter of his raja yogas, a mediocre first year at IIT in the quarter of his adhishatru state. The Sun, the only planet aspecting Sagittarius by rasi drishti, takes the middle third (Aug 1988 – Dec 1991) and is itself read in four quarters: first in class, illness under the Gulika conjunction, giving and applying abroad as 12th lord, leaving for the USA from the badhakasthana. The sign itself takes the last third. The chart sets a range; each quarter peaks or bottoms out inside it.

PVNR's Chart — Aries Narayana Dasha Three-Parts (1995–2007) & Additional Rules

The three parts rule applied to PVNR’s Aries Narayana Dasha (April 1995 – April 2007, 8th house). Aries is Prishtodaya and takes the last third; Mars, in Aries itself, takes the second; the first goes to the seven planets occupying or aspecting Aries, about seven months each in order of advancement — Moon, Mars, Saturn, Rahu, Ketu, Venus, Mercury — matched to job changes, a child, an accident, meeting his guru and being accepted as a student. Mars’s third (1999–2003) runs avastha, yogas, houses owned, house occupied: Sarala Yoga, green card, buying a house, then a layoff when the Amatyakaraka gives the plain result of being in the 8th. The sign’s own third (2003–2007) is read from lagna, Moon and Arudha Lagna — a malefic sign in the 6th from AL is good materially. Closing notes on divisional charts and on why other published versions of the rule differ.

Marriage Timing via Navamsa Narayana Dasha — Three-Parts Rule Applied

Marriage timed with Navamsa Narayana Dasha. The candidates are Venus, Ketu, Upapada, lagna, the 7th house and Darakaraka; the dasha where they converge gives marriage. The rasi Upapada, its lord and the 2nd lord from it decide whether marriage is promised early; the Navamsa Upapada times it. In the example Libra dasha is chosen over Sagittarius, and the Three-Parts Rule puts the marriage in Jupiter's middle third, in the quarter of his lordship of the Upapada: July 11 – September 11, 1993, when she did marry. Also: what counts as a marriage, counting second and third marriages from the Upapada, the remedy for delay, a recap of the Three-Parts Rule, and why the lagna stays longer in some signs than others.

D10 Narayana Dasha Career Analysis — Malefics in 6H Rule

D-10 Narayana Dasha is found from the 10th lord of the rasi chart placed in the Dasamsa: Narayana is in the work, the D-10 is the environment. Aquarius dasha has two lords; the stronger-lord rules are worked step by step until Rahu in a dual sign beats Saturn in a fixed sign. The dasha is then read in three parts — the sign (5th house, 3rd from AL, with A9, A7 and A8), Rahu's four quarters as 5th lord in the 6th with Mars, and the aspects of Moon, Sun and Mercury — against a job, a lay-off and a turn to business. Rules taught on the way: malefics in the 3rd and 6th from Arudha Lagna, a malefic in the 6th from lagna gives obstacles and the overcoming of them, the planet's own agenda decides the result, and nimittas while predicting.

D12 Narayana Dasha — Relationship with Parents & Parents' Individual Fortunes

Three Narayana Dashas from one D-12. The default one, from the 12th lord of the rasi chart, shows the native's relationship with her parents — friction in Capricorn dasha, a reunion and a parting in Taurus dasha. Starting instead from the 4th house of D-12 (or its 7th, whichever is stronger) gives the mother's own fortune: foreign travel in the 9th-house dasha and a broken ankle under the aspect of the 8th lord Sun, the significator of bones. Starting from the 9th house gives the father's: his nature and career read with the 9th as lagna, retirement with a promotion from the exalted 8th lord, and advice against starting a business. Also why a dasha can be 0 years under Parashara's rule.

D9 Narayana Dasha for Husband's Fortune & D7 Paka ND for Children

The spouse's own fortune from the native's Navamsa: take the 7th house of D-9 as the spouse's lagna, start Narayana Dasha from the stronger of it and the lagna, and read each dasha with the Three-Parts Rule — here Leo dasha from Aries, with the wife's A7 serving as the husband's Arudha Lagna. Three Navamsa dashas are set apart: from the 9th lord of rasi (dharma in marriage, and when one marries), from the 7th lord of rasi (how the relationship goes), and from the 7th house of D-9 (what happens to the spouse). For one particular child, the Saptamsa is read from the sign of the 5th lord (first child) or 7th lord (second child) with Paka Narayana Dasha. Any lord in any divisional chart gives a Narayana Dasha; one must know what each shows.

Example Chart (1978) — Three-Parts Rule: Leo Dasha (1998–2006) & Virgo Dasha (2006–2015)

The rāśi Narayana daśā of one chart, read by the three-parts rule. Leo daśā (1998–2006): Leo is Śīrṣodaya and gives first, Saturn in Leo takes the middle third, and lord Sun in Pṛṣṭhodaya Sagittarius takes the last. Each planet’s share is cut into four quarters — for a malefic: avastha, yogas, houses owned, house occupied — and Saturn and Sun are read quarter by quarter, with the native's history checked against it. Virgo daśā (2006–2015) is then read three ways: Virgo as progressed lagna (benefics in quadrants and trines, malefics in 3, 6, 11; Ketu in the 7th), the daśā entry chart, and the three parts — the sign’s own third as the inanimate portion (house, aspecting houses, A4, A9, UL) and the six planets’ third at six months each. The Tithi Praveśa of 2010 confirms the one bad stretch, Rahu’s.

Drig Dasha — Spiritual Significance & D24 Narayana Dasha for Education

A bright student dropped out of college at the end of 1998 and withdrew into meditation; the class asks why. Dṛg daśā is the daśā of spiritual life: a daśā sign aspected by Ketu brings spiritual awakening, one aspected by Rahu brings confusion, and with both nodes in dual signs both act together. The D-24 Narayana daśā has two seeds — the 12th lord of the rāśi chart for the complete siddhi, the 4th lord for formal schooling. Run from the 4th lord, Taurus daśā (1990–2001) is aspected by A3 (a short break) and A8 (a complete break), which the sign gives in its last third — when he dropped out. In Gemini daśā the last third goes to Sun and then to Saturn, yogakāraka and 9th lord, the house of the bachelor’s degree. The Tithi Praveśa of 2005 confirms the turn.

D12 Narayana Dasha (Three Uses) & Avasthas — Complete Table

Three Narayana daśās from the Dvādaśāṁśa. The default one, seeded by the 12th lord of the rāśi chart, shows relations with parents — the give and take. Started from the 9th house of D-12 it shows what happens to the father; from the 4th house, the mother. Before that PVNR insists the father is not to be read from the rāśi chart, and the class guesses the father’s nature and profession from D-12 with its 9th as lagna. Pisces daśā of the default system is read by the three parts, which brings the rule on a benefic in the 6th: from lagna it gives peace, from ārūḍha lagna defeat, and exalted-retrograde counts as debilitated. The father’s Scorpio and Sagittarius daśās are checked against his career. The page ends with the avasthas PVNR explains in this class: the five by age, the three by alertness, and Śayanādi.

Narayana Dasha — Final Q&A: Saturn/Ketu Exceptions & Parivartana Rules

Closing questions on Narayana Dasha. Jaimini’s two exceptions for a planet in the sign from which the dashas start: Saturn there means Brahma’s sign-by-sign progression, always forward, whatever the sign; Ketu there means the sign’s own progression run in reverse; with both, the stronger one decides. How to judge Rahu against Ketu: dignity cannot separate them in the rasi chart, in a divisional chart Virgo favours Rahu and Pisces favours Ketu, count the planets with each, and if nothing decides take Rahu. In the three-parts rule a Parivartana is ignored when placing the planet by Sirshodaya or Prishtodaya sign, but counts as a yoga when the planet gives its yoga results. Sahamas in Narayana Dasha are untested, and a principle needs 50 or more charts.

Mundane Astrology — Calendars, Chart Types & Live Analysis (US + India)

Introduction to mundane astrology. A country’s birth moment is often disputed, so New Year charts cast for the capital are used instead, each for its own purpose: Mesha Sankranti for high-level politics, Makara Sankranti for politics at the level of the masses and elections, Ardra Pravesha for rains, Chaitra Shukla Pratipada for general events, Kartika Shukla Pratipada for finance, Ashadha Shukla Pratipada for weather extremities, Vaishakha Purnima for spiritual matters. House meanings for a country: lagna = its existence, 2H = resources, 3H = initiative, 6H = war, 7H = foreign policy, 8H = anxiety and borrowing, 9H = judiciary and religion, 10H = the administration and its lord the administrator, 11H = friends. Worked charts: the US lunar New Year of 2004, the 2004 election from the Makara Sankranti chart, the financial New Year for the US and India, the 2004 Full Moon chart, and the eclipse New Year of April 8, 2005. Ends with the choice of Vimshottari seed in mundane charts.

Transits (Gochara) — Philosophy, Murti System & Vedha Obstruction

Gochara is planetary movement judged against the natal positions. Dasha has priority, the annual chart narrows it and the transit confirms it — a transit alone repeats too often to predict from. Moon is the first reference, then lagna and Arudha Lagna. From Moon, Jupiter is good in 2, 4, 5, 7, 9, 11; Mars, Saturn, Rahu and Ketu in 3, 6, 11; the 12th is bad for all but Venus; and PVNR explains why Jupiter in the 10th is bad. The Murti system: where the transiting Moon is from the natal Moon when a planet enters a sign makes it Swarna (1, 6, 11), Rajata (2, 5, 9), Tamra (3, 7, 10) or Loha (4, 8, 12) for its whole stay — worked for Saturn’s entry into Cancer on May 25, 2005. Vedha: a planet in a certain house obstructs a good transit; the table is in Dr. Raman’s Ashtakavarga book.

Transit Analysis from Multiple Reference Points — Career & Learning

Keep the transit positions in rasi — the physical experience — and take the natal Moon from the division that rules the matter: D-10 for career, D-9 for marriage, D-24 for learning. Each Moon is the mind as a filter in that environment. Worked on a student’s chart: from his D-10 Moon in Libra the year is poor, yet on February 3, 2005 Mars is in the 3rd and Mercury and Venus in the 4th, and he gets a job offer. What a planet gives comes from the natal chart — houses owned are its agenda, the house occupied its resources — and the transit says when and adds its own flavour. From his D-24 Moon in Aries: Saturn in the 3rd helps learning, Rahu over the Moon confused it, and Jupiter entering Libra on September 27 clears it.

PVNR's House-Based SAV Approach & Transit from Arudha Lagna

A zero in a planet's Ashtakavarga, and PVNR's house-based Sarvashtakavarga: add the score of the same house number from each of the eight references instead of the same sign. He says plainly that this is his own research, not parampara. Transits are then read on Bill Gates: the references are natal, the area affected comes from the natal chart, and good or bad comes from the transit. The same Saturn and Jupiter are judged from the Moon of the D-10, from Arudha Lagna (different rules, and no Ashtakavarga) and from Mars in the D-10 and D-9. The page ends with the rules for the 7th and 10th from Arudha Lagna, the difference between the 10th from lagna, the 10th from AL and A10, and the 11th house of navamsa.

Bill Gates — Dasha Applicability Check & D10 Sun Dasha Career Analysis

Before reading Vimshottari, check whether a conditional dasha applies: Dwisaptati Sama, Shashtihayani, Shatabdika, Chaturasiti Sama. None applies to Bill Gates, so his Sun dasha is read in Vimshottari. In the navamsa Sun is in the 9th house: a dasha of dharma. In the D-10 Sun is 7th lord in the 12th, his marana karaka sthana: the business is broken up or control is given up, while Sun in A3 starts new ventures and his argala on the 11th keeps the gains coming. The page then reads a career year from the D-10 of an annual Tithi Pravesha chart, where Sun as 8th lord in the 8th gives Sarala yoga; defines Harsha, Sarala and Vimala yogas; and reads career transits from the natal D-10 Moon.

Sahamas in Annual TP Charts — Paradesha & Jalapatana for Foreign Travel

Paradesa sahama (going to a faraway place) and Jalapatana sahama (travel over the ocean) are read in the annual Tithi Pravesha chart, where they matter more than in the natal chart. They are a confirmation: if neither is linked to the 9th, the 12th or the badhaka house or lord, travel abroad in that year is unlikely. The reading starts from the Hora Lord. In the example's 2000 chart the Hora Lord Moon is in the 12th in rasi and 8th lord in the 9th of the D-4, Paradesa sahama falls in Aries with the 9th lord and the badhakesha, and he left in Rahu–Rahu. The 2004 and 2005 charts are then weighed for the green card, and the 2005 chart is read in the D-24 for learning.

Mundane Vimshottari Seeds — Pranapada Lagna & Multiple Classical Sources

Which daśā to run for a nation, and from which seed. The conditional daśās are checked first; Pakistan qualifies only for Dwadasottari, which the teacher does not trust, so Vimshottari is used. Moon or Lagna as the seed: count planets in quadrants from each (Moon himself excluded, Moon breaks a tie). Human charts favour Moon because Moon is the kāraka of human beings — in the navāṁśa Moon must be in a trine or the 7th from Pranapada Lagna, as Ketu is for fish, Sun for birds and Venus for horses. Mundane charts carry no such bias: whichever is stronger is used. Also taught: the other Vimshottari seeds in the classics (4th, 5th and 8th star from Moon, Lagna, Mandi), the teacher’s nakshatra-pada method of comparing them, Surya Vimshottari for yogis and for the conception chart, and why a 120-year daśā for a nation remains unproven.

Pakistan & India Independence Charts — Dasha Analysis & Annual TP

Pakistan (Aug 14, 1947, midnight, Karachi — Aries lagna, Moon in Ardra) and India (Aug 15, 1947, midnight, New Delhi — Taurus lagna) read by Lagna Vimshottari. The navāṁśa of a nation shows its foreign relations: in Pakistan’s navāṁśa Jupiter is the 3rd and 6th lord in the 8th, a Viparita Raja Yoga that reversed its standing after September 11; the Ketu, Venus, Moon and Rahu antardaśās are then read one by one with bhoga, the bādhaka lord and the ārūḍhas A6 and UL. India’s Saturn daśā gives the results of Venus, the lagna lord; the close Saturn–Venus Raja Yoga, backed by A5, A9 and A11, is timed to 2006–2009, with A6 and A7 together in Saturn’s sign. Pakistan’s 2001 Tithi Praveśa chart — Hora Lord Mars in Scorpio lagna, four planets in the 8th, annual lagna 8th from natal lagna — shows a year of pain and a bold new beginning. Both charts have Kala Amrita Yoga.

Dasha Varga Schemes, D40/D45 & Annual TP Lagna Karmic Theme

The four varga schemes — Shad Varga (6 charts), Sapta Varga (7), Dasa Varga (10, recommended for the horoscopy of human beings) and Shodasa Varga (16, for royal horoscopy). D-40 and D-45 are in the 16-chart scheme only: they show karma inherited from the maternal and paternal lines, small beside one’s own past-life karma, but a terrible combination there is a family curse that runs up to seven generations. Three kinds of strength are separated: Vimsopaka Bala is the planet’s overall tendency to do good to you, Ashtakavarga is the cooperation it gets from the other planets, Shad Bala decides which planet delivers a Raja Yoga. Last, the house of the annual Tithi Praveśa lagna from the natal lagna shows the karmic theme of the year: the 8th is a year of pain and paying for sins, the 9th a year of reaping past good.

Dasha System Roles, Bhava vs Pada & Marriage Timing Puzzle

Each dasha has its own focus: Narayana Dasha shows the effort, what the person is actually doing; Sudasa shows where the blessings come from; Vimshottari shows what the mind experiences. Houses (bhava) are the intangible meaning and arudha padas are the tangible symbol, so a marriage ceremony is seen from UL and A7, not from the 7th house. The class then solves a puzzle: a man born in 1968 married on one of four dates (January 26, 1997; May 9, 1997; August 17, 1998; August 22, 1999). Dwisaptati Sama Dasha, the Narayana Dasha of the Navamsa with the three-parts rule, and the pratyantardasha each point to a different date; the Tithi Pravesha chart of 1997, with hora lord Venus in the 7th house, settles it as May 9, 1997. Also why Venus and Ketu are the two givers of marriage, and what kind of marriage each gives.

D2 Hora Chart — Kashinath Hora, House Meanings & Financial Narayana Dasha

The common D-2 puts every planet in Leo or Cancer and cannot be read. In PVNR’s tradition Sun and Moon own two halves of the zodiac, which gives a twelve-sign Hora chart; Sanjay Rath named it Kashinath Hora after his guru. D-2 shows sampada: not just money but every resource — wealth, speech, connections, influence. The page gives the meaning of each house from lagna, the houses from arudha lagna, and the arudha padas (A2 the bank balance, A3 the company founded, A8 the risk actually taken, UL the money let go). The karyesha of D-2 is the 2nd lord of the Rasi chart; an exalted or debilitated planet in D-2 accomplishes much; HL is actual money and GL is power. Two charts are read with the Narayana Dasha of the Hora chart: a student’s tight period and coming peak, and Ramakrishna Dalmia’s rise and his financial death in Taurus dasha, where a maraka sits in the 8th house.

Two Enemy Planets in AL (Close vs Far), 4-Part Subdivision of Planetary Periods & Avasthas

Two enemy planets in the Arudha Lagna: if they sit close together they fight and both images show to the world; if they are far apart in the sign the stronger one dominates and the other may not be seen. The planet in his own sign wins over a visitor, even one of higher longitude. Then the four quarters of a planet's one-third of a Narayana Dasha: a benefic gives place, lordship, yoga and avastha in that order; a malefic gives them in reverse; Mercury takes the nature of his company. In the yoga quarter a planet grants the wish of whoever is with him — Venus with Ketu is the worked example. Last, the avasthas: Netrapani means vigilance and effort, not blessing.

Student Chart — D10 Narayana Dasha Career Analysis & TP Charts

A student out of work for more than two years, read again after earlier predictions failed. Narayana Dasha of the D-10: the last one-third of Libra dasha belongs to Venus, whose yoga with Ketu and Netrapani avastha block a job until August 2005; Virgo dasha, the lagna, then gives a new beginning, and the Mercury–Saturn raja yoga is timed to March 2010 – February 2011. The Tithi Pravesha charts confirm it: in 2004 the 3rd and 8th lords sit in the D-10 lagna, so no job; in 2005 the Hora Lord Mercury is the 3rd lord in the 3rd, and Jupiter in the 6th with the 5th lord and Hora Lagna gives a full-time job between August 27 and November 4. Also taught: Karma Sahama, 3rd lord in the 3rd, Harsha and Dhimanta yogas, raja yoga in the 12th judged from Arudha Lagna, and why no single technique is enough.

Arudha Padas Deep Reading, Parivartana Yoga Rules & Mahapurusha Triggers

How to read an Arudha pada. The house shows whether a result exists; its Arudha shows the tangible form the world sees. Three things are read: the sign and house the pada falls in, the planets with rasi drishti on it, and its lord with his yogas. Worked on a student’s A9: exalted 9th lord Mars combust in the 6th, A9 in the 12th aspected by Venus, and the lords of AL and A9 together with Ketu. Transits from Arudha Lagna: Saturn on AL runs the image down, Jupiter protects it from a quadrant but gives a reality check from a trine, and Rahu and Ketu bless it from a trine. Parivartana is always a yoga, good or a duryoga by the houses exchanged. A Mahapurusha Yoga needs a dasha or transit to trigger it and then lasts for life.

Sachin Tendulkar — Marriage Prediction via TP Charts & Graha Arudha for Wife

The class picks Sachin Tendulkar's marriage year from the annual Tithi Pravesha charts of 1994, 1995 and 1996, using only the Hora lord, the 7th house and lord in rasi and Navamsa, the Upapada and the Vivaha Sahama. 1995 wins: its Hora lord Venus is the karaka of marriage, the 7th lord, and exalted. Venus dasha did not give it; Jupiter dasha did, because Jupiter is in a trine from the ruler of the year and is his dispositor — he married on May 25, 1995, in Jupiter–Venus antardasha (May 23 – June 6). The natal chart then describes the spouse: lagna lord in the 7th in both rasi and Navamsa, the kind of work she does from A7, and how intelligently she is seen to do it from L7.

Sachin Tendulkar — Annual TP 1998–2009 & Beeja Aksharas

Six of Sachin Tendulkar's annual Tithi Pravesha charts read against what happened. 1998: Hora lord Saturn, the 3rd lord debilitated in the 6th, and back-to-back centuries at Sharjah in his dasha. 1999: his father's death, read from A9 in the Dvadasamsa — physical death destroys the inanimate maya, so the house arudha is the reference, and the 8th lord from it sits in the 7th. 2003–04: a full Viparita Raja Yoga with Gajakesari in the 12th of the Dasamsa ends a year-long slump. 2005: surgery and a short break. Then two predictions made in class — a peak from November 2006 when Rahu enters Aquarius, and a celebrated retirement in 2009–10. The page ends with the bija aksharas: Ra for Pingala, La for Ida, the vowels, and the Dakshinamurti mantra for clarity.

Muhurtha — Panchanga Elements, Nava Taras & Special Tithis

No day is good or bad in itself: a muhurtha is chosen for a purpose. The five panchanga elements and their tattvas — Tithi is water (well-being, prosperity), Vara is fire (vitality and longevity of the venture), Nakshatra is air (strength), Yoga is ether (what holds the forces together), Karana is earth (the solid achievement) — and which of them comes first for a medicine, a marriage or a house. Each element is tested three ways: good by nature, good for the native, and its lord well placed in the muhurtha chart. Then the Nava Taras counted from the natal Moon, the twelve special tithis (with tithi sandhi and the Amavasya rule) worked on PVNR’s own chart, and why Guru Purnima can fall with Moon in Capricorn.

Abhijit Muhurtha, Transit Analysis in Muhurtha Charts & Amavasya Rules

Abhijit Muhurtha is Sun in the 10th house, exact when Sun is at the lagna’s own degree. PVNR does not accept that it wipes out every other dosha: his book muhurtha was within one degree of exact Abhijit, yet a weak Vāreśa left the fire low and the book took three years. That muhurtha (May 13, 1997) is judged element by element — vara, nakshatra, tithi, karana, yoga, the 11th house — and then read through Jupiter’s transits: Pisces brought the guru, Aries the writing, Taurus the publication. Also: the first muhurtha of a kind rules the later ones, prayer before starting, the panchanga lords in a Tithi Pravesha chart, and the rule for Amavasya — Rahu must be well placed.

PVNR's Marriage Muhurtha Analysis & D24 Narayana Dasha for Education

PVNR’s marriage muhurtha (August 1, 1993, 9:28 PM IST, the birthplace) read for children. A muhurtha chart is not a natal chart; it shows which forces bless and which obstruct at that moment. In its saptamsa the trine lords carry the blessings, and both children were born when benefics transited the signs those lords occupy. The muhurtha decides whether the result comes; the transits that follow decide when. Then two student questions on one chart: Kala Sarpa and Kala Amrita yoga are counted in the natural zodiacal order, and the D-24 Narayana Dasha seeded from the 4th lord times a master’s degree — the 4th, 9th and 2nd houses of D-24 as the three levels of education, each dasha judged through the 7th from it, with Vimshottari showing how the mind takes it.

Pt. Sanjay Rath — Full D60 Shashtiamsha Analysis & Moola Dasha

Pt. Sanjay Rath's rectified Shashtiamsa, read two ways. From its Arudha Lagna (Pisces) for the past life: a scholarly occult teacher, and exalted Moon in the 3rd from AL — death by drowning, hydrophobia in this life. From its lagna (Cancer) with Moola Dasha for the karma of this life, each dasha planet taken by its Shashtiamsa name and its place in the chart: Sun in Indu as a maraka (a near-drowning as an infant), Venus in Mrityu handing over Mars's Dhimanta Yoga results (the student years), Atmakaraka Saturn in Bhrashta (1985–2003: occult learning, the mission, and its obstacles), Ketu and Rahu in Dandayudha, and exalted Jupiter in Kulaghna — the lineage to be founded.

Annual TP Analysis — Methodology, Multiple-Planet Exchange & Gandanta Warning

A student sets a puzzle: his father’s chart and a date, January 14, 1980. PVNR reads the annual Tithi Pravesha chart of 1979 step by step — Rasi, Dasamsa, Navamsa, Saptamsa — and concludes "a good year overall, but no peace of mind": a Raj yoga of lagna lord Mercury and 5th lord Venus against Saturn in the 4th and Rahu on Moon and Jupiter. He applies the exchange rule for several planets in one sign (arrange by natural beneficence, pair from both ends) and its limit: Jupiter, Moon and Sun never exchange with Rahu unless a planet like Mercury mediates. A yoga in the annual chart gives its result when the Hora lord is involved in it. The natal Vimshottari then points at Jupiter, the 6th lord sitting 9 arc-minutes from the Cancer–Leo border: a planet in Gandanta must never be ignored.

Puzzle Answer: Jan 14 1980 Accident; Shoola Dasha (9-yr/sign); Sthira Karakas; D-12 Relative Events

The answer: a vehicular accident on January 14, 1980 — another vehicle hit him. The natal Vimshottari, Venus–Jupiter, showed it far more strongly than the annual chart. Jupiter is the 6th lord in Gandanta; Venus is the 8th lord in the 3rd from Arudha Lagna, the place of death-like experiences. Jupiter is also the Atmakaraka, and in an Atmakaraka’s dasha or antardasha death is unlikely: he gives a life-changing accident, not the end. Shoola Dasha is then introduced: start from the stronger of lagna and the 7th, 9 years a sign; danger when the sign is a trine or the 3rd from Arudha Lagna and is aspected by the 6th lord, 8th lord, badhakesha, marakas or a Gandanta planet. For a relative, start from that relative’s house, use A9 in place of AL, and watch the sign of the sthira karaka (father: stronger of Sun and Venus). The same accident is then read from the son’s chart, in Pitru Shoola Dasha and in D-12 from the 9th house and from L9. The class ends with the father’s career from D-10.

Daily Tithi Pravesha (TP) Chart — Theory, Hora Lord & Hierarchical Reading

A new day in a person's life starts each time the Sun–Moon differential has advanced 12° over its value at birth; a chart cast for that moment at the birthplace is the daily Tithi Pravesha chart. Tradition says only that such a chart can be made — reading it through the Hora Lord as ruler of the day is PVNR's own extrapolation from the annual chart. He works three of his own days: the day of the class (Mercury, writing), a job offer on 1 July 2003 (Saturn as Yogakaraka with all three trine lords in one house) and a layoff on 12 August 2002 (Jupiter, lagna lord, in the 8th). The layoff is then traced in that year's annual chart through Moon–Moon antardasha and the arudhas of D-10. The rule throughout: a daily chart cannot give what the annual chart does not show.

Hierarchical Chart Reading, Ashtakavarga in Kali Yuga & Fine Dasha Subdivisions

Which chart for which time scale: the natal chart and its dashas for years, the annual Tithi Pravesha chart for weeks and months, the daily chart for a day — each read inside the one above it. PVNR says the links between these levels are still missing from what he has taught. Ashtakavarga, by Parashara's own account, is the mechanical technique fit for the people of Kali Yuga because it needs the least discrimination. Vimshottari can be subdivided to six levels, but the dates are off by about m × n / 4 days for m minutes of birth-time error and a first dasha of n years, so periods of a few hours are useless without rectification to a fraction of a second. Also here: the four definitions of the moment of birth, and how Prasna differs from natal astrology and is used with it.

Worked Example — Rectification via Divisional Windows, Marriage & Childbirth

A student brings the chart of a young woman who asks whether an HR job is right for her. Before answering, PVNR tests the birth time against two dated events. No conditional dasha applies, so Vimshottari is used: marriage came in Jupiter–Sun, which the natal Navamsa explains, and the 2001 annual Tithi Pravesha chart shows the marriage year through its ruler Mars, the Upapada, Vivaha Sahama and a Saturn–Moon exchange. The 2003 annual Saptamsa does not show the child born in March 2004 until the birth time is moved forward 4 minutes, from 4:28 to 4:32 PM. The natal Saptamsa then gives the first child's lagna, the sex of the child and the dasha. For each divisional chart he notes how many minutes would change its lagna, and narrows the window from those.

Worked Example — D24 Education, D10 Career Analysis & ND Three-Part Rules

The same chart, now for education and career. In D-24 the 9th house is the bachelor's degree and its lord the intelligence applied to it: Saturn and Mercury in the 9th and a debilitated 9th lord with the nodes show a telecom degree done slowly and without interest, timed by the three-parts rule on the D-24 Narayana Dasha. In D-10 the 10th house, with Jupiter in moolatrikona, is the strongest of 2, 6 and 10 and shows administration and HR, but four planets in the 8th make retirement stronger than career. The Narayana Dasha of D-10 is split by the three-parts rule and Jupiter's share by the four-parts rule: the career consolidates in 2005–06, is solid in 2006–2010, and changes with Capricorn dasha in 2010. From then PVNR expects a business of her own for a while — its kind read from A7 in Scorpio with Rahu's aspect, its year tested on the 2010 annual chart.

PVNR's Car Problem — Daily TP + D16 & Fine Dasha Subdivision Reference Points

PVNR's car would not start for ten minutes; he reads it from his daily Tithi Pravesha chart. Venus, karaka of vehicles, runs the dasha: in Marana Karaka Sthana in Rasi, and in D16 the 4th lord in the 12th, in the Badhaka sthana counted from the 4th — unexplained trouble that passes, because the lord of a house does not destroy it. Then the Vimshottari levels below antardasha: the reference point for each (Sun, Moon, Lagna, chara karakas, Pranapada Lagna, Lagna), how planets placed together exchange results, and the Dasha Pravesha entry chart with three ways to judge one sub-period. Last, how far down the dashas can be trusted: one minute of birth-time error moves the dates by M×N÷4 days, so use nakshatra dashas to pratyantardasha and the annual and daily TP charts for weeks and days.

Example Chart — Career Decision via Annual TP & A9+A10+A4 Material Raja Yoga

An engineer unhappy with his company's management holds an offer that means relocating: change now or stay? The lagna is at 0°06' Taurus, so the birth time is first tested on his marriage and the sex and timing of his children in D7. The decision is then read from the 2004 annual Tithi Pravesha chart. The ruler of the year, Mercury, is 8th and 11th lord in lagna afflicting the 10th lord Sun; in D10 he is lagna and 10th lord in a Raja Yoga with Venus, who is in Marana Karaka Sthana as 2nd and 9th lord — resources and direction from superiors are what suffers. The running Jupiter dasha has the Badhakesha in A10: a change of job. The 2005 chart is checked before advising: a parivartana of the 1st and 7th lords with the Yogakaraka on lagna, and A9, A10 and A4 together — a material Raja Yoga. The deity for the year is taken from Moon and Venus.

Muhurtha as Guidelines, 3rd from AL in D60 for Death & Nasthajatakam

In muhūrta the names of yogas and karaṇas are only guidelines: the placement of the lord in the natal chart and in the muhūrta chart decides, so Saturn’s Viṣṭi karaṇa can be the best choice for one person and Jupiter’s Garija a bad one for another. When the time cannot be chosen, go with the flow and pray to the deity of the weak planet. The class then covers how errors of birth place and birth time act on the lagna and the Moon, and why a birth time cannot be found reliably from the day alone. The 3rd from Āruḍha Lagna shows the kind of death — Mars or Rahu a violent weapon, Jupiter a death known in advance; the same combination in D-60 speaks of the previous life — tested on Ramana Maharshi. Also Naṣṭa Jātaka (the lost horoscope, a special praśna) and how to convince skeptics with hard-to-guess, objective predictions.

Sudarshan Chakra Dasha — Introduction, Three-Chakra Tripod & Thumb Rules

Parāśara names two techniques for Kali Yuga: Ashtakavarga and Sudarshana Chakra Dasha. The chakra is three wheels of twelve houses, counted from Lagna, Moon and Sun — what you do, what you feel, and the long-term agenda of the soul with the opportunities the world gives for it. The planet that owns, occupies or aspects a house from all three references dominates that house. The daśā gives one house per year in a 12-year cycle (the Lagna-chakra sign is the Tājika Munthā), with monthly antardaśās counted from the daśā lord's natal sign, and it is judged from the entry chart of the year or month, not from the natal chart. Thumb rules: benefics are good in quadrants, trines, the 2nd, 8th and 11th and bad in the 3rd and 6th; malefics are good only in the 3rd, 6th and 11th; Sun is a benefic only when exalted or in the sign of a planet he regards as a friend. The published class notes add Mercury's rule, the bad pairs (Mars with Rahu, Sun with Moon, the 7th and 8th lords) and the yogas to look for from the daśā sign.

Sudarshan Chakra Dasha — Worked Examples (PVNR) & AV Connection

The teacher scores his own years with Sudarshana Chakra Dasha, from the Surya, Chandra and Lagna chakra signs in the entry chart. 1987–88 (state first, entry to IIT): 5–4, 6–3 and 5–4 in the rāśi, but 8–1 from Scorpio in D-24, with Sun, Moon and Mars giving Rāja Yoga and Trilochana Yoga there. Marriage in 1993 in D-9: 5.5–3.5 from Sun, 4.5–4.5 from Moon, 4–5 from Lagna — the chance came, he was not excited, and the decision was not his. Starting the classes in 2004 in D-24 and a month of January 1994 in D-20 show the next step: find the key natal planets, see how they sit in the entry chart, and look for the same planets giving yogas in both. The same daśā returned in 1999 with a different result. The class closes with the hierarchy natal → annual → monthly → 2½ days and Parāśara's instruction to combine the daśā with Ashtakavarga.

Sudarshan Chakra Mechanics — Benefic/Malefic Rules & Three Dasha Signs Interpretation

Recap of Sudarshan Chakra Dasha: one house a year, three dasha signs (from Lagna, Moon and Sun), judged from the planets at the start of the year. Parashara's natural benefic/malefic rules — when Sun, Moon and Mercury turn benefic, Rahu destroying the house he sits in — and the good houses: 3, 6, 11 for malefics; kendras, konas and the 8th for benefics, with only the 6th and 12th named as bad. The count of well-placed planets is a thumb rule; yogas from the dasha sign override it. The teacher's own reading of the three signs: Lagna-chakra shows what you do, Chandra-chakra how you feel the world is treating you, Surya-chakra how the world is actually treating you — so elections are read from Sun.

George W. Bush — SCD D10 Analysis: 2004 Election & 2003 Iraq War

Sudarshan Chakra Dasha in D10 applied to George W. Bush, year by year, from the entry chart of each year. 2004–05: 58 years finished, 59th year, 11th house — Taurus / Libra / Libra. Public support is read from the Surya-chakra sign Libra: only 4 of 9 planets are well placed, but the 9th, 10th and 1st lords sit together in the 9th, and that Raja Yoga decides the election. 2002–03: Pisces from Lagna, the sign of his own actions — Moon, Mars and Jupiter in the 1st; two malefics overrule a relaxed Jupiter in Pisces, giving a big, aggressive, unwise act that is long remembered (the Iraq War). 2005–06 and 2006–07, read ahead of time from Scorpio and Sagittarius: Mars in the 8th, Rahu in the 9th, then Sun–Rahu on the lagna — a sudden fall in support with no recovery.

John Kerry 2004 — SCD Analysis & Philosophical Digression: What is Lagna?

John Kerry in the 2004 election by Sudarshan Chakra Dasha in D10: 60 years finished, 61st year, 1st house — Pisces from Sun (and from Lagna), Virgo from Moon. In the entry chart of December 2003, counted from Pisces, seven planets are badly placed, one neutral and only Sun good; Amavasya Yoga sits in the 1st, Mars–Rahu in the 10th, and only benefics in the 3rd and 6th. A Mars–Jupiter parivartana and the 5th–6th lords in lagna gave a fight, but against the Raja Yoga in Bush's chart there is no comparison. The page also carries the class discussion on what Lagna is: not body, not mind, not soul, but the sense of "I" — the container of soul and mind — mapped to the Svayambhu Linga, with the Atmakaraka as the Bana Linga.

Father's Accident — D12 Sudarshan Chakra Dasha + TP Chart Analysis

A student's father had a vehicular accident in March 1996. The class checks it in D-12 three ways: the Tithi Pravesha chart of 1995–96 read from L9, the natal Shatabdika Dasha (Saturn/Mercury/Sun) read from the natal L9, and Sudarshana Chakra Dasha read from the 9th house of the progressed Surya lagna. All three give the same warning of a sudden mishap. On the way it teaches how to choose between two conditional dashas that both qualify — longer cycle, lower probability, and the strength of the planet fulfilling the condition — why an annual chart must be read against the natal chart, and the dictum that Rahu in lagna in Leo or Virgo gives rajyam.

AV + Sudarshan Chakra Dasha — PVNR's D24 1987 Academic Success

Parashara says Ashtakavarga is to be used with Sudarshana Chakra Dasha but not how. PVNR's reading: use the natal chart's Ashtakavarga to judge the year's entry chart, the year chart's to judge the month, and so on; a planet with a high score in the sign it occupies at entry is well placed to push its natal agenda. Shown on his own D-24 for 1987–88: Jupiter 6, Mercury 7 and Sun 6 dominate, and the Sarvashtakavarga from the progressed Surya lagna picks out the 5th, 3rd and 12th houses — recognition, effort, and the compromise and giving of the 12th. Also: why he follows Parashara's Ashtakavarga tables over Varahamihira's, how Jupiter links his D-10 and D-24, and his answer on improving intuition — sincerity, humility, the six enemies and daily discipline.

Sudarshan Chakra Dasha — Mother's Illness & Indira Gandhi's Death Analysis

A homework review. A student's mother was seriously ill for two months in 2005. PVNR opens the Sudarshana Chakra Dasha of D-12, takes the 4th from the Surya Chakra sign as the mother's lagna, and reads the entry chart of the year: the lagna lord Rahu in the 6th with the 6th lord Moon, and a debilitated Jupiter with Ketu in the 12th — sickness, confinement, and a helper who works by intuition without much hope. The Moon in the 12th from the Chandra Chakra is a sense of loss, not death. Death needs a māraka combination, which he shows in Rajiv Gandhi's D-12 for the year his mother was assassinated: the 2nd and 7th lord Venus in the mother's lagna, Mars and Ketu aspecting from the bādhaka sthāna, and a Saturn–Mars exchange. The month of the illness is then read the same way, with its Ashtakavarga. The page opens with two questions from the class: atheism in a chart, and Rahu in the 2nd house.

Marriage Timing via SCD, AV Hierarchy in Monthly Drilldown & Natal→Annual→Monthly

One wedding, on February 1, 2004, read from the wife's chart and the husband's with the Sudarshana Chakra Dasha of the Navamsa. Lagna Chakra shows what the person does, Chandra Chakra how he feels, Surya Chakra the opportunity the universe gives. Her year has a cluster of lords with Venus in the Lagna Chakra sign, an exalted 4th lord from the Chandra Chakra and a Vipareeta Raja Yoga from the Surya Chakra; his has the 7th lord with the lagna lord Rahu in lagna and Ketu in the 7th. The wedding was first fixed for October 2003 and was put off: the planets that form the marriage yoga in the October chart are the ones sitting in the 6th in the annual chart, where their agenda is delay. In the February month the annual marriage planet, the Sun, returns to the front in the same sign. The page also sets out the Ashtakavarga hierarchy — natal scores for the dashas, the dasha's entry chart for its antardashas, the month's for the 2½-day periods — with a worked monthly example.

Mahatma Gandhi & Indira Gandhi Death Analysis — 3rd from AL, Dasha Selection

Gandhi: Arudha Lagna in Cancer with Moon in own sign and Rahu — the compassionate saint dominates, with a scandalous image in some circles. Jupiter in Aries in the 10th from AL is a peaceful war. Two conditional daśās apply (Dwisaptati Sama: 7th lord in lagna; Chaturashiti Sama: 10th lord in the 10th); take the longer and the rarer one — Chaturashiti Sama. His Dasamsa: A10 with A8 in the 6th, Jivanta Yoga of the 5th and 6th lords, A4 in the 12th in a martial sign; struggle in Venus daśā (1919–31), the desire fulfilled in Sun daśā (1943–55). Sun in the 3rd from AL: death by firearms. Indira Gandhi: AL in Aries, the Durga image; Ketu and Mandi in Gemini, the 3rd from AL, with Rahu aspecting — a far more violent death.

Eclipse Charts for Prediction, Four Purusharthas Trikona & Bush 2005 Annual Chart

Planets in trine promote each other, in quadrants they must work together, in 6th/8th they obstruct; trines from any house are its blessings. That gives the four trikonas — Dharma (1-5-9), Artha (2-6-10), Kama (3-7-11: initiative, pursuit, fulfilment) and Moksha (4-8-12: comfort, tapas, detachment). Eclipse charts: cast for the start of the eclipse at the capital, read houses only, expect results within three months. The 1st and 8th show disasters; before an election the 10th is the ruling party and the 3rd the opposition. Four worked charts: the Pakistan earthquake, India in October 2005, and the 2004 elections in India and the US. Bush's 2005 annual Dasamsa: Mars in Arudha Lagna, A9 with A8, and a two-month fall in popularity in Venus and Moon daśās counted from A5.

Lunar New Year Comparison (1900 vs 2005) — Hora Lord, Multiple Calendars & Mundane Patterns

The US Lunar New Year charts of 1900 (Galveston hurricane) and 2005 (Hurricane Katrina), cast for Washington DC, share Leo rising, lagna lord Sun and Moon in a watery 8th house, A4 in the 12th, and Moon as Hora Lord. Moon in the 8th is in Marana Karaka Sthana; a watery planet helpless in a watery sign points to destruction by water. The Rudramsha (D-11) of both years puts the marakas in watery signs. The teacher argues that the ruler of the year is the hora lord at the exact New Year moment, and that taking the next sunrise's weekday lord is a later corruption made for the civil celebration. Each New Year has its own matter: the Pisces new moon shows the general mood of the people, the Libra new moon (Kartika Shukla Pratipada) the finances, the Gemini one the weather, the Cancer one rains and crops. The national chart does not give the place of a disaster; a town's own incorporation chart does.

Marana Karaka Sthana Complete Table & 1930 Financial Chart (Great Depression)

Marana Karaka Sthana is the one house where a planet is helpless: Sun in the 12th, Moon in the 8th, Mars and Mercury in the 7th, Jupiter in the 3rd, Venus in the 6th, Saturn in the 1st, Rahu in the 9th. Ketu has none, because he only wants to give moksha. Mercury, unlike other benefics, is happy in the 6th and 8th, as he is in the 3rd and 4th. The 2nd and 7th are the maraka sthanas because they are the 12th from the 3rd (vitality) and the 8th (longevity); accidents are seen from the 6th and 8th. In the hora chart of the 1930 Financial New Year (Sun–Moon conjunction in Libra, Washington DC), four of the eight planets are in Marana Karaka Sthana and Sun and Moon sit in the 8th eclipsed by Ketu: a terrible year. For mundane dashas, compress to the year, use a conditional dasha when its condition applies, and choose the Vimshottari variant by the planets in kendras.

George W. Bush — Dwisaptati Sama Dasha & 2005 Tithi Pravesha Analysis

Read the natal base before any annual chart: the Tithi Pravesha is a ripple on it. Bush (Cancer lagna, 7th lord Saturn in lagna) runs Dwisaptati Sama dasha, and Jupiter dasha (April 2000 – April 2009) carries a raja yoga with Gajakesari in the rasi chart and Jaya yoga in the dasamsa. The page teaches bhoga — count from the dasha lord to the antardasha lord and the same again — for the Sun, Moon and Mars antardashas, and how the lord and karaka of a house govern a planet placed in it. The 2005–06 annual chart (Scorpio lagna) is then read through arudhas: badhakesha Moon in the 12th undone by parivartana, A10 in the 6th, A8 with Gulika and Mandi in the 10th, A6 in the 4th, and who wins judged from the 3rd and 6th of AL against A6. Its dasamsa is read from AL, period by period.

Bush 2006–2008 Annual Charts — Trilochana Yoga, AK+AmK & Dick Cheney Homework

The 2006–07 annual dasamsa (Aries lagna) has Sun, Moon and Mars together in Scorpio in the 8th: Trilochana yoga and a raja yoga of lagna, 4th and 5th lords — a yoga for war, not peace. A9, A10 and A4 sit in the 12th with the 12th lord Jupiter (Vimana yoga); A5 in the 8th makes his following volatile, and a debilitated 4th lord Moon leaves him shaking inside while the world sees a warrior. Two annual charts are combined with the natal antardashas to place a fortunate event in the first half of 2006 and aggressive action in spring–summer 2007. The 2007–08 chart has yogakaraka Saturn, the hora lord and Atmakaraka, with Amatyakaraka Venus in the 10th of the rasi chart, and a lagna-lord/12th-lord exchange in the dasamsa — closure, not new wars. Homework: can Dick Cheney himself get into legal trouble?

Cheney Annual TP 2000–2007 — Elections, Legal Troubles, Excellent 2007-08 & 12H Teachings

Venus–Mercury antardasha (July 2004 – May 2007): in D10 Mercury is 8th lord in Arudha Lagna with the 10th lord and the lagna lord, and lagna-and-10th lord in the 6th from Venus — a slow decline in which he keeps fighting. Venus–Ketu (2007–08): 3rd lord in the 6th from Venus, enemies put down. The annual Dasamsas confirm it. 2000: Moon in the 8th with Ghati Lagna and A6 gives the disputed election, 6th lord Mars in the 7th ends the litigation — in his favour, being 10th from Arudha Lagna and 12th from A6 — and lagna lord with 9th lord in lagna gives the oath. 2004: lagna lord with 5th lord, so a sitting Vice President stays. 2005: 9th lord Venus in Marana Karaka Sthana, luck runs out; Rahu’s Viparita Raja Yoga takes him to the brink only. 2006: a little better. 2007: six of nine planets well placed. Imprisonment is read from the Rasi of the year. The 4th lord in the 12th is peace, not loss.

Kala vs Hora Distinction, Best Activity per Planet's Kala & True Abhijit Muhurta

Kala is the 1.5-hour division of day and night counted from sunrise. It is generic — the same for everyone in a town — and is read from the planet's general significations: Rahu kalam for puja and meditation only, Surya for the temple, Guru for Vedic knowledge, Shukra for enjoyment, Mangala for a fight, Budha for study and writing, Shani for hard, disciplined work. Hora is the 1-hour division and is read from your own chart; the hora lord at the start of a job, a marriage, a year or the reading of a book is the king of that whole activity, above the five panchanga lords, who are his ministers. For a muhurta pick the hora of a planet that is good for the relevant house in the natal chart. The epoch is sunrise: the clock-based "Mahakala" hora is not for muhurta, and kalas must be recomputed for the place. Also covered: the 5-minute signs of prasna with day and night signs, Yamagandam and Gulika, and Abhijit — not 12 o'clock, but the Sun on the 10th cusp at the same degree, minute and second as the lagna, with its caveats.

Tribhagi Vimshottari Dasha — Introduction & the 27-Nakshatra Cycle

How Tribhagi Vimshottari Dasha is computed. In normal Vimshottari each planet's dasha comes once in 120 years and has to stand for all three of its nakshatras, which lie 120° apart. Tribhagi gives every nakshatra its own dasha: 27 dashas in nakshatra order from Moon's nakshatra, so Ketu, Venus, Sun and the rest each come three times — Ketu for Ashwini, then for Magha, then for Mula. Each dasha is one third of its normal length (Ketu 2 years 4 months, Venus 6 years 8 months), a round of nine takes 40 years and the three rounds 120. A student asks why the three parts of one planet are not run together; that would only reproduce normal Vimshottari and jump around the zodiac, while Tribhagi moves through it in order. The recording stops at the computation. The published class notes carry the rest: read the dasha in the rasi chart first and the navamsa second, alongside normal Vimshottari; spread each dasha over its nakshatra's 13°20′ to get the progressed Moon (8th house turbulence, 9th house protection) and see which sahamas and special lagnas it touches — event-based sahamas (Jalapatana, Labha), duration-based ones (Jada, Roga), Sri Lagna for Lakshmi's blessing, Ghati Lagna for power. Worked on PVNR's own chart: Sun dasha of Krittika, March 1993–March 1995, moving from the 8th house to the 9th; Rahu dasha of Ardra, November 2000–November 2006, with Rudra as the deity to propitiate; Roga sahama at the end of Revati in 1983–84; Ghati Lagna in Uttara Phalguni reached in 2033, in Venus–Saturn of normal Vimshottari.

Tribhagi Vimshottari Deep Philosophy — Nakshatra as Pranavayu & 3 Gunas

A student finds that normal Vimshottari and Tribhagi Vimshottari seem to say different things about a marriage. The teacher’s answer: no dasha answers a questionnaire; each divides life into phases seen from one perspective. Normal Vimshottari shows what the mind experiences, Narayana Dasha shows the circumstances on the ground, and Tribhagi shows the life force behind the mind — because a nakshatra is a station of Pranavayu and the progressed Moon takes its energy. Ardra (Rudra) and Punarvasu (Aditi) are compared, and the three Rahu nakshatras are shown to be totally different. In Tribhagi the nakshatra is primary and the graha secondary: look at what sits in the running nakshatra natally and who transits or aspects it now. The page also covers the three gunas of the trine nakshatras, where the teacher has used this dasha (mundane and Kartika Shukla Pratipada charts), and why conflicting factors are understood, not reconciled.

Sarvatobhadra Chakra & Tribhagi Examples — Pranapada, Agitation & Spiritual Path

Three charts read with Tribhagi Vimshottari and the Sarvatobhadra Chakra, taken from the written class notes (the recording stops as the first chart is opened). Chart 1: Pranapada Lagna in Shravana, Vishnu’s star, during the Moon–Shravana dasha, with the speed check that decides the direction of each planet’s full aspect. Chart 2: a native agitated in the Ardra dasha and again in the Punarvasu dasha — Mrityu, the upagraha that is the son of Mars, sits in Punarvasu and Moon’s 15th-nakshatra aspect falls there; when Kala, Mrityu or Gulika is in the nakshatra, worship its deity, here Aditi. Chart 3: the Vishakha dasha with Ketu transiting Vishakha at the end of 2003 and start of 2004, the time to decide on Vedic learning and detachment. Order of importance: planet in the nakshatra, Vedha, aspect, then Latta.

Mundane Charts 2005–2007 — Israel, Iraq, Iran Elections, War Potential & Gandanta

Lunar New Year charts read in the first class of 2006. Israel 2005: Saturn daśā, Saturn in the 8th with argala and graha dṛṣṭi on the 10th, shows a change of guard; from L10 (Capricorn) Saturn is lagna lord in the 6th, so the ailing leader survives. Israel 2006: vargottama Cancer lagna with Saturn (Simhasana Yoga, but he is the 8th lord in Maraṇa Kāraka Sthāna); the 10th and 3rd houses taken as lagna favour the ruling party in Mars daśā. Iraq 2005: lagna six minutes from the Scorpio–Sagittarius gandanta. Iran 2005: Jupiter and Ketu in the 10th give a religious conservative government, and an empty 6th house ruled by exalted Venus denies war. For a tangible war A6, the 6th house and Mars must come together; the 2007 charts of Israel, Iran and the USA show that most strongly.

Finance New Year Chart, Tribhagi+SBC for Stock Market & Saturn-Ketu Conjunction

The Finance New Year chart is cast for the Sun-Moon conjunction in Libra that begins Kartika Shukla Pratipada, the amavasya of Deepavali. The USA chart of November 2005 is read daśā by daśā from Rāśi and Hora: Jupiter daśā gave the year-end rally, Saturn daśā is reasonable, the Ketu period at the end of April and start of May is the one to watch, and the year as a whole is good. The teacher then shows his market method: run Tribhagi Vimshottari from Moon or lagna, whichever is stronger, find the running star, read the transits on it in the Sarvatobhadra Chakra, judge those planets in the New Year chart, and check for Latta. A closing question covers a Saturn-Ketu conjunction: explosive events that give sadness, in the house where it falls for each country.

Annual TP Dasamsha — Arudha Analysis, A5 for New Job Recognition & Antardasha Timing

Before using a Tithi Pravesha chart, find the window in which its divisional lagna holds and rectify the birth time to within it; here the annual D10 lagna changes 2 min 38 sec earlier. In the 2005 annual Dasamsha Venus rules the year: as 7th and 12th lord in the 9th, which is also the Badhakasthana, he withdraws protection and can end the job. A9 and A4 are joined with A8, so the bosses do not protect him; A10 alone in a trine from AL means the job itself is sound; A5 in a benefic sign in the 6th from AL with Saturn and Rahu means no recognition this year. A new job comes from the 5th house, the 5th from AL and A5 — someone must be impressed — while the 6th and 10th show service and work after joining. Venus has argala on the 5th and on A5, so his dasha (January 6 – March 22) can give the new job; Venus-Jupiter (February 14–27) and Venus-Mars are the favourable antardashas, Venus-Saturn and Venus-Rahu are not.

D10 Career Traced 1998-2005 — Artha vs Kama Trikonas, Eclipse of Luminaries & Bhoga/Paaka

A known life is replayed so the class can test its reading against what happened. In the natal D-10 the artha trikoṇa (2nd, 6th, 10th) shows the field of work — Mercury and Mars in the 2nd give a technical line — and, by the rule in the class notes, a stronger artha trikoṇa means service where a stronger kāma trikoṇa (3rd, 7th, 11th) means business; Venus–Mercury, with bhoga in lagna, starts the career in 1998. Sun daśā (4th lord exalted in the 12th, in A3) gives six unstable years of contracts and travel without a long layoff. Sun–Jupiter in 2001 is the danger: Jupiter is 8th lord in the 7th, joined with the 10th lord Rāhu, 8th from the daśā lord. The 2001 annual chart confirms it with the Moon, 8th lord, eclipsed by Rāhu in the D-10 lagna — a luminary with a node in an annual chart cannot give its good and gives its bad in double measure. The annual daśās then time the layoff, the offer in Moon–Moon and the joining in Mars daśā, and the page ends with the remedy the teacher gave.

Marriage Timing 2002 — UL, Vivaha Sahama, A7 + Job Change 2005 via 8L in 10H

In September 2001 the native asks whether to marry. The natal D-9 says the running Sun–Jupiter can give it: Jupiter is the 9th lord in UL and the Dārapada, and the bhoga falls in lagna. The 2001 annual chart does not show it; the 2002 chart does — lagna lord in the 7th, the 7th and 9th lords together in UL, the UL lord Saturn four degrees from the Vivāha Sahama, and in the D-9 of the year the 7th lord Mercury in a kāma trikoṇa and in Ārūḍha Lagna. Mercury daśā of that year is chosen and the wedding falls in Mercury–Jupiter, in Māgha māsa — where the teacher shows how common sense about marriage months narrows an astrological window. The second half times the 2005 job change from the annual D-10: the 8th lord Venus in the 10th house gives the change, in his own daśā — a job-change daśā needs a lord tied to the 3rd or 8th house.

D7 Saptamsha Children Analysis — Sex Determination, Conception & Birth Timing

Conception and birth are timed from the D-7 of two annual charts. In 2005 the ruler of the year, Mars, is exalted in the D-7 lagna, and Venus — 5th lord and yogakāraka in the 9th — gives the conception and the news in his daśā. In 2006 the first-child sign of the D-7 is Pisces with Jupiter in it, and Jupiter also owns the Putra Sahama, so his daśā (April 26 – June 27) is named for the birth; working nine months back lands on the Venus daśā of 2005, and the conception did come in August 2005. The page then gives the D-7 rule for the sex of the first child — count the 5th forward from an odd lagna, backward from an even one, reversed when a node is in lagna, then judge the lord’s sign and companions. Applied to this chart both counts say girl; the ultrasound showed a boy, and the teacher puts the rule at about 80%.

D7 Counting Corrections, Harsha/Tarala/Vimala Yogas & Satabdika Dasha

A correction to the D7 counting rule: the count of children reverses when Rahu or Ketu is in the 7th house, not in lagna, because the 5th house is the 11th (gains) from the 7th house of marriage. A strong Jupiter or Saturn with Ketu in the 7th may keep the count normal. For a second marriage, first find the house of that marriage (the 2nd) and count 11 houses from it. The page also covers the odd/even sign rule for the sex of a child and why it is not reliable alone, the Harsha, Tarala and Vimala yogas (6th, 8th, 12th lord in own house), and when Śatābdika daśā applies (Navamsa lagna vargottama).

D20 Vimsamsa Spirituality Analysis — Narayana Dasha 3-Part Rule & Internal vs External Karma

D20 shows how you modify yourself; D10 shows how you modify the world, so the wish to spread spirituality in society is a Dasamsa matter. The example is a pediatrician on a spiritual path: D20 lagna lord Saturn in the 12th shows internalized meditation, and Mars (5th and 12th lord of the Rashi chart, the kāryeśa for D20) joins the 9th lord Mercury and both nodes in the 10th of D20. The Narayana daśā three-part rule: a śīrṣodaya sign gives in the first third, a pṛṣṭhodaya sign (Aries, Taurus, Cancer, Sagittarius, Capricorn) in the last third, the lord by the sign he occupies, and aspects and yogas on the sign in the middle third. In D20 the 7th and 8th houses show the end of the inner struggle, not death. The annual D20 for 2006 shows the sādhanā turning into outward activity.

D9 Marriage Analysis — Same Antardasha in Different Mahadashas Gives Different Results

The Navamsa lagna is first fixed from the marriage (1976): Mercury antardaśā fits Sagittarius better than Scorpio, and Śatābdika daśā (Jupiter–Saturn) confirms it. D7 then confirms the time through both daughters. The main lesson: lagna is only half of judging an antardaśā, the Mahādaśā lord is the other half. Saturn, giving the result of Venus, gave marriage in Jupiter Mahādaśā because Venus is the 7th lord in the 7th from Jupiter; in Saturn’s own Mahādaśā the same Venus is read from lagna, in the 6th house of compromise, with Harsha Yoga making the change painless. The annual Navamsa for 2006 (Mars and Ketu in the 12th, 8th lord Jupiter in lagna) shows sudden detachment, and the husband is read from L7, the graha ārūḍha of the 7th lord.

Bhoga/Paaka in D6 for Disease Timing & Navamsha as Protection (Purva Punya)

The coming antardaśās of Moon daśā are judged in D6, each lord taken from the D6 lagna and again from the daśā lord. Mars is yogakāraka and bādhakeśa for the Leo lagna of D6; he sits with lagna lord Sun in the 5th and gives Sun's results — recovery through past good karma — but both are in the 8th from Moon, and the bhoga falls in the 12th, so the recovery is partial. In Rahu antardaśā the 12th lord's daśā meets a planet in the 12th, and Rahu, a bādhakeśa, aspects Moon in the Rashi: the trouble may linger. Jupiter antardaśā in 2008 is excellent. Last comes the Navamsa: it shows pūrva puṇya, the protection that decides whether an affliction in Rashi or D30 brings a person down; here Moon, its 9th lord, is in the 8th. The recording ends there. From the published class notes the page adds the Paryāya daśā of D6 — a rāśi daśā for illness, read in thirds, with the daśā lord's Rashi lordship weighed as well — and the annual charts of 2005 to 2008, which put the relief in 2008.

Five Planets in Leo — Narayana Dasha 3-Part Rule, Annual TPs & D10 Rectification

With five planets in Leo, the Leo Narayana Daśā (2014–2019, age 34–39) fires many yogas at once. Leo is śīrṣodaya, so the first third gives the sign itself (5th house: children, recognition), the middle third its lord Sun in the 12th (occult learning — the 12th is the 8th from the 5th), and the last third the six planets in and aspecting Leo. The daśā entry chart shows a strong career, a pull abroad, and the 5th lord Jupiter in the 8th: some trouble over children. The 2017 and 2018 Tithi Praveśa charts confirm a setback and then a turn to the question "Who am I?"; the 2019 chart, from the published class notes, looks good. The D10 is then rectified from Leo to Cancer lagna (6:45 to 6:43 AM) because only Cancer explains a financial analyst rising in Virgo and Libra daśās. Rules taught: Saturn or Rahu in the 7th or 12th from AL give material Rāja Yoga, a benefic in the 8th from AL gives a sudden rise, and Venus in the 7th gives desire that cannot be satisfied.

D4 Chaturthamsa Real Estate Framework — Key Arudhas, ND Starting Rule & Multi-Property Acquisition

D4 (Chaturthamsa) is the chart for the home you live in and the properties you own. The 3rd house, being 12th from the 4th, shows investment in property; the 5th and 9th show purva punya and fortune; A4 is the tangible house, A6 the loans and labour, A11 the gain, UL what is given up to acquire, AL the status. The 1968 example has D4 lagna Libra with AL, UL, A6 and A11 all in Sagittarius beside the yogakaraka Saturn: in the Sagittarius–Sagittarius Narayana Dasha of D4 the native bought two plots and two houses between July and September 2005, in the part of the dasha that the three-parts rule gives to Rahu, the 5th lord placed 7th from AL. Vimshottari ran Jupiter–Rahu at the same time. The page also gives the starting sign of the D4 Narayana Dasha — the sign holding the 4th lord of the rasi chart — and a corner case from the 1961 chart where the Saturn exception had to be switched off.

Two House Constructions — Annual Chart Double Link, Conditional Dasa Scope & Benefic vs Malefic Building Dasha

The 1961 example built two houses. The first, in India in 1991, came in Ketu–Saturn of Vimshottari: Ketu is the 3rd lord of D4 in the 6th and in A4, Saturn the 5th lord joined to the 4th lord Jupiter. Chaturaseeti Sama Dasha applies to the chart but shows nothing, which leads to the scope of conditional dasas: each is best in its focus area, and Vimshottari is the character actor who does well in every film. The D4 Narayana Dasha fits only once the Saturn exception is switched off, putting 1991 in Leo dasha — Rahu for the start of construction, the 12th lord Sun in the 9th for moving in. The second house, in the USA in 1999–2000, came in Venus–Mars. A house built in a benefic or good-house dasha gives happiness and a long stay; one built in a malefic or dusthana dasha gives money but little happiness. The 1999 Tithi Pravesha has A4 in the 12th and the 4th lord in UL — a double link between the 4th and 12th that shows a change of residence.

Mars-Rahu Kujasthambhana, Subramanya Remedy & a House Buying Prediction

Two planets together exchange results unless they hate each other. Mars and Rahu do not: like a police officer and an underworld don in one room they open fire, and the house they sit in is damaged. This is Kujasthambhana, and the remedy is Subramanya, who rides the peacock — one prayer weakens Rahu the snake and strengthens Mars the warrior. With the pair in a sign of Venus he is prayed to as the husband of Valli and Devasena. Kuja dosha is taken up briefly and called highly overrated. The 1967 example has Mars and Rahu in the 2nd of D4 and asks when he will buy a house: in Mars mahadasha the Saturn antardasha (November 2006 to December 2007) is picked, because Saturn owns A4, sits in A11 and aspects UL; the D4 Narayana Dasha of Capricorn narrows it to after March 29, 2007; and the 2007–08 Tithi Pravesha, with A4, A9 and A10 in lagna with Venus, points to the Jupiter or Venus period of that year.

D4 Lottery Win — Badhakesha+Rahu = Foreign Fortune, 3 Quadrant Lords in 9H & A8+A9 = Sudden Windfall

A man living in the USA walks into an open house in 2005 and wins a $200,000 concession on the price. The class first checks which daśā applies, then judges his D4 (Scorpio lagna): the lagna lord Mars in the 8th gives a sudden rise in property, three quadrant lords in the 9th are aspected by the debilitated 5th lord Jupiter from the Arudha Lagna, and the 9th and 10th lords Moon and Sun exchange signs. Moon is also the badhakesha and sits with Rahu in Leo — fortune away from the motherland, and little sukha from the house itself. The Narayana daśā of D4 is then split by the three-part rule: Capricorn takes the last third, its lord Saturn the middle, and Jupiter, Moon and Rahu share the first third at eight months each. The win falls in Rahu’s eight months (June 2005 – February 2006), because Rahu alone has graha dṛṣṭi on A4 and A9, and A8 sits with A9.

ND vs VD Vantage Points, Cross-Divisional Chart Links (D4↔D2↔D20) & Annual Chart 2005 Confirmation

The lottery win is checked three more ways. Vimshottari: it came on the border of Sun and Moon daśā, the 10th and 9th lords of D4 who exchange signs. Tithi Praveśa 2005: Moon and Mars join closely in the 6th of the year’s D4, Jupiter aspects them from A9, A8 is again with A9, and the class weighs Jupiter, Rahu and the ruler of the year Venus as the giver. Hora chart: the same event shows in Narayana daśā as a big expense and loan, while Vimshottari shows the fortune he feels — Narayana daśā is what happens on the ground, Vimshottari is the mind. From there the teacher gives the method for linking divisional charts through the signs and planets they share, traces the Capricorn–Cancer axis of D4 into the hora chart, D20 and D10, and corrects the D10 and D20 lagna from the native's profession.

D24 Rectification via B.Sc. Graduation, Education House Progressions & Navamsha Marriage Analysis

Before reading marriage from the Navamsa, the Navamsa lagna is confirmed: Cancer, or Leo if the birth was 4½ minutes later. The Dasamsa lagna Aries (not Pisces) fits a woman who does not work — Saturn, Mercury and Sun are all in Marana Karaka Sthana there — and rules out an earlier time. The D24 then fixes it: she took her bachelor's degree in 1988 in the last third of Cancer Narayana Dasha, Cancer being the 7th (maraka) from the 9th house Capricorn and holding A7, the arudha of the 11th from the 9th. Education houses run 4th, 9th, 2nd — every 6th, because knowledge is accumulated; what is ended and begun afresh runs every 7th. The confirmed Cancer Navamsa has Sun, exalted Jupiter and Ketu in lagna, the 7th lord Saturn debilitated, Rahu in the 7th and the Rasi 7th lord Mercury in the 8th.

Marriage Timing via Dasha (AK Dasha = Vairagya), Annual 2006 Most Promising & Three Vedantic Paths

The class opens with doership and karma, and the star-and-diamond picture of Dvaita, Vishishtadvaita and Advaita. The timing of the example then runs dasha by dasha: Sun Dasha (18–24) came close; Moon Dasha (1992–2002), of the Rasi 8th lord sitting with Saturn in the Arudha Lagna, denied marriage; Mars Dasha, of the Atmakaraka and 5th lord in Raja Yoga with the 7th lord, brought the change of mind. Mercury antardasha, up to November 2006, is the best period, with Ketu next, and the Navamsa Narayana Dasha agrees — before Sagittarius begins in July 2007. The Tithi Pravesha of 2006 has Mercury, the 7th lord, as hora lord and a Sun–Moon exchange between the 6th and 7th lords in Navamsa; the likely windows are August–September and October 19 – December 19, 2006. Remedies: Saturday fasts and Krishna, and a visit to Tirupati and Srinivasa Mangapuram at the Tithi Pravesha. The published class notes record the outcome: she did not take up the remedies and did not marry in 2006.

Chaturashiti Sama Dasha, Navamsa Narayana Dasha & Multi-Dasha Convergence for Divorce

A lagna at 29°13' Libra is settled by marriage and divorce, not by looks: Libra brings in Chaturashiti Sama Dasha, Scorpio a different conditional dasha, and only Libra explains both events. Moon–Jupiter gave the marriage in May 1997 — Moon sits in UL in Navamsa with rasi drishti on the 7th and is the 2nd lord from UL in Rasi; Jupiter is the Navamsa 7th lord. Mars–Mars gave the break — Mars is the debilitated 6th lord of Navamsa, with Venus, in A6. Vimshottari (Mercury–Jupiter, Ketu–Rahu) works less clearly, but its Ketu–Mars antardasha of February–July 2004 overlaps Chaturashiti Mars–Mars, so all four lords own the Navamsa 6th house. Navamsa Narayana Dasha agrees: Sagittarius, the 7th house, gave marriage in its own last third, and Capricorn, the 8th house, gave divorce in its own last third. The page also gives the rule that the lord of a house is a weak maraka for it.

Second Marriage Analysis (8th from 7H), Spouse Nature from L7 as Lagna & Children from Second Marriage

After a divorce or the death of a spouse, the second marriage is the 8th from the 7th house in Navamsa — here Cancer — and that sign is read as the lagna of the new relationship; for polygamy the 6th from the 7th is taken instead. Mars, who broke the first marriage as 6th lord, is yogakaraka from Cancer. Timing of the remarriage is worked through Chaturashiti, Navamsa Narayana Dasha (Aquarius is a better candidate than Capricorn) and the Tithi Pravesha charts of 2006 and 2007, where a link between lagna lord and 2nd lord shows a second marriage. The first husband is read from A7 / L7 in Aries: debilitated Saturn in lagna under Mars' argala and Rahu's aspect — suspicious, slow, explosive. Children are read in Saptamsa: the 11th from each marriage's sign, forward for an odd sign and backward for an even one; Rahu sits in the first-child sign of the first marriage, and the lord of the first-child sign of the second is in the 8th from it with Ketu.

D2 Financial Analysis, Speculation Indicators & Karthika Shukla Pratipada Financial New Year Chart

The Hora chart of a stock-market investor. A risk-taker is seen when Mars, karaka of risk, or the 8th house has a role with lagna or lagna lord: here the 8th lord and Mars are in lagna and the lagna lord is in Scorpio. Whether he gains is read from A8 (the tangible gamble) and A11 (the tangible gain) — the yogakaraka Saturn has argala on both. Moon, lord of A11 in the 12th and 12th lord from the dasha lord, marks a window of loss, and the Narayana Dasha of the Hora chart is split into three parts. The page then gives the financial new year chart — the Sun–Moon conjunction in Libra, cast for the capital — with China 2005, India 2005 and the crash the teacher predicted in class from India's 2006 chart: Scorpio lagna in gandanta with the lagna lord and five more planets in the 12th.

Annual Chart Career Timing, D7 First Child (Putrasaham) & Natal vs Tithi Pravesh Distinction

The natal dashas give a window for going independent — after August 2006, for about 14 months; the Tithi Pravesha charts narrow it. In the year from October 2005 the ruler Saturn shows hard work in the old job and the Dasamsa lagna lord is debilitated: no change. In the year from November 2006 the ruler Venus is the yogakaraka, 4th lord in the 4th of Dasamsa, in Raja Yoga with Mercury in the Rasi; the 7th lord Sun is exalted in the 3rd. Sun's period, October–November 2006, is the time to start consulting, and Mercury's, February–March 2007, brings recognition. The first child, born 28 April 2006, is not explained by the natal Saptamsa dasha but by the annual chart: Putra Saham, the 3rd house of Saptamsa as gain of a child, Moon and Jupiter on the lagna axis. The page closes with the rule on the two charts: predict from either, look for the same combination in both, but pray from the natal chart — except at the moment the year begins.

Argala Timing via Narayana Dasha, Bush Presidency Application & Universal Scope (Natal/TP/Varga)

Parāśara times argala by the antardaśā of the sign holding the argala planet in a rāśi daśā (Chara, or Nārāyaṇa as its generalisation); PVNR applies it to navāṁśa, daśāṁśa and Tithi Praveśa charts as well. George W. Bush, Cancer lagna: no significant argala on lagna, a two-planet argala (Moon and Jupiter) on the Āruḍha Lagna in Scorpio, and four planets (Mercury, Venus, Saturn, Mars) on the 10th house. In the navāṁśa Mars, Jupiter, Moon and Saturn give argala on the 9th house while Rāhu, counted in reverse, obstructs — hence the shaky year before the 2004 election. Six unobstructed planets on A6 show great fortune together with many enemies. In class the events are matched to Jupiter daśā antardaśās of a graha daśā; checking the Nārāyaṇa daśā (Pisces daśā, Cancer antardaśā at the 2000 election) is set as homework.

Argala on UL for Marriage Timing, L7 vs A7 Distinction & Maraka for Husband from L7

A Virgo-lagna woman married at 17 in Mercury–Saturn and widowed in Venus–Mercury. UL is in the 8th house, but its lord Mars sits in the 2nd from it with the lagna lord, and three net Argalas fall on UL — full effect. The navamsha makes the timing convincing: Mercury exalted in the 9th, Saturn in exchange with Venus, and Saturn holding Argala on lagna, on the 7th house and on Venus himself, which introduces Argala on a planet as the promotion of that planet's agenda. Navamsha Narayana dasha and the 1979 Tithi Pravesha chart, where lagna, 7th house and UL carry 3, 5 and 4 Argalas, agree. For the husband's death PVNR sets out house, lord and their Arudhas: the 7th house is the relationship, A7 its visible form, the 7th lord the intelligence guiding it, and L7 — the Arudha of the 7th lord — the husband himself. From L7 in Pisces, Venus is the 8th lord and Mercury the 7th lord in the 7th.

Matri Shola Dasha, Mother's Cancer Analysis via L4 & Sthira Karaka + Cancer vs Tumor Indicators

A student's mother is in the last stage of cancer, and PVNR reads the son's chart for her. First a sanity check with Matri Shoola Dasha in the rashi chart: the dashas of A4, of its trines and of the trines of mother's Sthira Karaka (the stronger of Mars and Moon) can kill, and Scorpio dasha, running 2004–2013, is A4 itself. Then Vimshottari, read in the Dwadasamsa from L4, the Arudha of the 4th lord: Saturn is 2nd lord in the 3rd with Ketu, Mercury is 7th lord in the 7th, and Moon as 8th lord is hemmed in by Rahu, Saturn and Ketu. Saturn is the one planet that weakens the sign he owns and occupies, because the 1st house is his Marana Karaka Sthana. The Tithi Pravesha Dwadasamsa of the running year shows disease, not death — Mars, ruler of the year, is 8th lord, and Sun and Ketu sit in the 8th — while the next year has strong marakas. Also here: tamasic planets for cancer against Jupiter–Venus for tumours, the 8th house against the 6th for disease, and the remedies PVNR gives.

Upanayana Muhurtha — Key Rules for Mantra Initiation & Date Selection for a Student's Son (Aug 26, 2007)

A muhūrta for a boy’s upanayana is worked out step by step in class. Jupiter comes first: he must not be retrograde, and his transit should link with the natal Mantrapada (A5) or its lord — here Jupiter in Scorpio passes over the natal Sun, lord of A5 in Leo. The Sun comes next, because Savitri Gayatri is his highest form: Cancer, the 12th from the natal Moon, is rejected and the search moves to Leo. August 26, 2007 is chosen — Sunday, Śukla Trayodaśī, Saubhāgya yoga, Shravana (Sampat tārā) at the muhūrta, Mars hora (the natal 9th lord). Scorpio lagna puts Jupiter in lagna and the Sun in the 10th; each navamsa lagna within it is weighed and Leo wins, with Jupiter in the 4th of navamsa "driving his dharma", giving a window of 12:26–12:40 PM. The muhūrta is the moment the mantra is given, not the start of the rituals.

Upanayana Dasha Validation (Rahu-Mercury), Annual D24 of the Native + Maya Philosophy (Yoga Vasishtham)

After the muhūrta is fixed, the daśās are checked. In the natal chart the boy runs Mars daśā, Moon antardaśā, and the Moon sits in Mantrapada, in the 5th of navamsa and in own sign in D-20. In the Tithi Praveśa year the day falls in Rahu daśā, Mercury antardaśā; read in the annual D-20, Rahu stands in for Ketu, lord of A5 in the 9th, and Mercury is in the 5th from him with the bhoga in the 5th from lagna. The annual chart for 2006–07 is then read: malefics in the 3rd and 6th of the rāśi chart, and in D-24 a strong 4th and 5th but the 9th lord Sun eclipsed by the nodes in the 6th — good studies, trouble with a teacher, a likely change of school. The page opens with a digression from the same class: if the world is Maya, why does everyone see the same thing?

Mental Retardation Analysis — Moon+Mercury in D30, Ketu Dasha Pattern & Venus Dasha Recovery Window

A three-year-old girl with mental retardation, Libra lagna. Moon with Saturn in D-6 and D-30 shows only "some mental problem" — it could as well be depression; retardation needs Mercury, the learning ability, to be badly afflicted too. In D-30 Mercury is the 8th lord in the bādhaka sthāna, hemmed between Saturn and the nodes and aspected by Mars and Rāhu by graha dṛṣṭi. In rāśi Moon is at 29°30′ Pisces, deep gaṇḍānta, in the 6th and owns A8; Ketu with Mars, A6, Māndi and Gulika in the 2nd times the discovery to the start of Ketu daśā. Prognosis: Ketu daśā is bad throughout, Ketu–Jupiter (Sep 2007 – Aug 2008) is the best window because the Moon–Jupiter parivartana makes Jupiter a 6th lord in the 6th (Harṣa yoga), and Venus daśā from 2010 promises recovery. Also covered: the degree a planet keeps after parivartana, the D-24 reading of her education, and the remedies — Kālī, Lakṣmī Nārāyaṇa, a diamond, Nārāyaṇa Kavacam.

Bone Fracture Chart — Multi-Dasha Analysis, Rahu-Ketu in D30, D20 Deity from 5th House & L7 Spouse

A Leo-lagna native broke a bone on April 6, 2006. The Sun, lagna lord and karaka of bones, is with Ketu in Navamsa and with Rahu and Ketu in Shashthamsa and Trimshamsa, so he cannot protect. In the natal chart Dwisaptati Sama dasha (7th lord in lagna) gives Sun–Mercury, with Mercury delivering the results of Ketu, who has no dasha in that scheme; Vimshottari gives Saturn–Saturn. In the Tithi Pravesha chart of the year, Tithi Ashtottari gives the Sun's period and explains little, while Shashtihayani dasha (Sun in lagna) gives the Moon, placed in the 8th with A6 — the teacher's lesson is to try the conditional dasha when Tithi Ashtottari does not satisfy. Remedies: Mahaganapati and Mahamrityunjaya homams, and care in Sun–Rahu of 2010–11. Before the chart, two questions on another student's Vimshamsha: Saturn in the D20 lagna, and reading the deity from planets aspecting the 5th house when the 5th lord is weak. The page ends with the wife's fears read from the native's own chart.

Hearing Loss Case (Cancer Lagna) — Multi-Divisional Analysis, Moon's Dual Role & Surgery Timing

An eight-year-old with hearing loss and a suspected tumor; the family wants a time for surgery. The 3rd house is the ears and the 11th is hearing: 11th lord Venus is in Marana Karaka Sthana, and lagna lord Moon sits in the 2nd with 8th lord Rahu in Gandanta. PVNR shows why Cancer Narayana dasha brought the problem out (A11 in Cancer; Cancer's argala on A6 and on 8th lord Saturn), why Vimshottari Sun–Mercury is a maraka period (2nd and 3rd lords in Scorpio with A8, 3rd from Arudha Lagna), and why Saturn and Ketu over the natal Moon make it a time to lie low and pray. The Moon is lagna lord in D-1 but 6th lord in D-6, so Durga worship is advised and pearl is not. Two Tithi Pravesha charts then set the outlook: 2006–07 is a bad year in which only Venus's period (January 3 to March 14) is relatively better, and things improve after November 20, 2008.

Gandanta Does NOT Weaken Raj Yoga, A9 vs L9 for Father's Death & Adopted Children Framework

Four answers to students' questions. A planet in Gandanta does not give a weaker Raj Yoga; Gandanta shows the planet's inclination to do physical harm, and it augments only a duryoga such as lagna lord with the 6th or 8th lord. For the father, A9 is the inanimate image the world calls "his father" and L9 (arudha of the 9th lord) is the animated person: use A9 for death and accidents with Shula dasha, L9 in D-12, and treat the Pitri Shula dasha link to A9 as confirmation, never prediction. For adoption PVNR knows no traditional rule for seeing individual adopted children; 5th-house weakness shows Datta Putra yoga, and the year of adoption needs good influences on the 5th on a natal chart that allows it. On muhurta, the astrologer serves: give honest advice and leave it there unless the person is your sishya.

Parivartana Across Mahadasha Levels, Narayana Dasha Sign Analysis (3-Part Rule) & Stronger Rashi Lord Rule

Three questions from students. Two planets that are together exchange their results at Mahadasha level too, not only in antardashas: the exchange is triggered at the latest when the other planet’s antardasha comes, earlier if a dispositor or aspecting planet brings it in, and once triggered it stays; friends exchange early, Moon–Rahu or Jupiter–Rahu late or never. In Narayana Dasha, the part given by the sign itself is read first from the house it is from lagna, Moon, Jupiter, Hora Lagna and Arudha Lagna, then from the nature of the sign (which accentuates the good or bad side of the result), the sign aspects on it and argala. When a sign has two lords, the one joined by more planets is the lord; relationships between the planets do not count. The example leads to Subrahmanya as the deity for Mars with Rahu.

House Robbery (1965) — D4 + D2 + AL Analysis & Job-Seeker (1949) Venus Period Outlook

Two charts read from the Tithi Praveśa chart of the year. A house robbery on August 2, 2006: the year lord Mars is in the 8th with the 2nd lord Saturn, and the event falls in Jupiter–Rahu–Venus of the Tithi Ashtottari dasha. Jupiter and Venus form a duryoga in the Hora chart and the Chaturthamsa, Rahu and Moon eclipse the D-4 lagna, and Jupiter is in the 3rd from Arudha Lagna in the Rashi chart of the year and the 12th from it in D-4. The teacher explains lagna as unmanifested potential and Arudha Lagna as the actual manifestation, says why “robbery” itself is hard to name in advance, and gives the Moon’s period (February 8 – March 28) as the only window for recovery. Then a student’s job question: in the annual Dasamsa, Rahu as 6th lord in the 12th from the 6th ended the contract; Venus, the year lord, sits in the 8th from AL with A6, A7 and UL, and good news is expected between January 4 and March 15.

Baby Chart Analysis (Jan 2007) — Maha Yogada (Sun+Mercury in Lagna), 3 Gandanta Planets & Shashtihayani Dasha

The chart of a day-old girl, Sagittarius lagna, born just after sunrise. 9th lord Sun and 10th lord Mercury sit within half a degree of each other in lagna with Hora Lagna and Ghatika Lagna, so the Dharma-Karma-Adhipati yoga is given by Maha Yogadas. Two conditional dashas qualify, Shashtihayani (Sun in lagna) and Dwisaptati Sama (7th lord in lagna); the teacher explains how to choose and prefers Shashtihayani. Against the promise stand three planets in Gandanta: Saturn deepest, then Mars, who is Atmakaraka and dispositor of the lagna lord, then Moon in the 8th. Mars dasha runs from birth and Moon dasha follows, so the first ten years need care; D6 and D30 confirm it and the D30 elements point to blood. Short readings of D10, D20 and D24 follow.

Three Devata Framework (Palana/Dharma/Ishta), Gandanta Shanti Muhurta & Father's Fortune from Baby's D12

Three deities read from the navamsha: Palana Devata from the 6th from Amatyakaraka (sustenance), Dharma Devata from the 9th from Atmakaraka, Ishta Devata from the 12th from Atmakaraka (moksha). The 5th house of D20 is only the deity one is naturally drawn to. For the newborn of this lesson the teacher chooses the Dharma Devata, because the need is for the chart's yoga to function, and arrives at Lakshmi Narasimha. He then sets out the Gandanta Shanti: Navagraha Homa with the Mrityunjaya Mantra and Ayush Sukta, on the 21st day, with the tithi, weekday, nakshatra and tara of that day checked, and how to tell the parents without frightening them. Last, the child's Dvadashamsha is read with the running dasha for the father's career, the mother's career, and which parent guides her more.

D24 Formal vs Overall Education Seeds (12th vs 4th Lord), D24 9th House Analysis & Trilochana Yoga via Parivartana

Which seed starts the Narayana daśā of D-24? Technically the 12th lord of the rāśi chart, which shows overall learning; Sanjay Rath uses the 4th lord for formal education and degrees, and the teacher says to look at both. The example is a schoolboy (1990) who wants to study medicine. In his D-24 (Scorpio lagna) Mars, Sun and Mercury sit in Cancer in the 9th; Mercury exchanges signs with 9th lord Moon in the 8th, so it is as though Sun, Moon and Mars are together: results akin to Trilochana yoga for the bachelor’s education. Moon is in maraṇa kāraka sthāna and hemmed by malefics, which gives anxiety and displacement, but a house lord never destroys his own house. Both Narayana daśās are then read: Capricorn daśā from the 12th-lord seed (desire to learn) and Scorpio daśā from the 4th-lord seed (entry into the bachelor’s course).

Saturn Dasha in D24 (A9+A5+A11 Confluence), Exalted vs Debilitated Planet in 3rd/6th from AL & D20 Spiritual Analysis

The Vimshottari Saturn mahādaśā of the same student is judged in D-24. From lagna Saturn is only a functional malefic giving desire; from Arudha Lagna he is a malefic in the 3rd with A9, A5 and A11, which makes it the best daśā for education. Saturn–Sun antardaśā: the bhoga falls in the 11th of D-24, so studies are safe, but in the rāśi chart Sun is 9th lord in maraṇa kāraka sthāna with the 6th lord and the bādhakeśa, and in D-12 he is 8th lord, so the year is risky for the father and for health and a homa is advised. The rule for the 3rd and 6th from Arudha Lagna: a debilitated planet reverses (benefic acts as malefic, malefic as benefic), an exalted planet does not; exaltation accentuates his nature. The class ends with D-20 and its Narayana daśā, the Iṣṭa and Dharma devatā from the navāṁśa, and a first reading of D-10.

Relocation Case (Boston → North Carolina) — D4 A4 Mercury Exalted, D10 Dhimant Yoga, TP Career Window & Saturn-Jupiter Dasha

A student in Saturn–Jupiter asks whether to follow his wife’s job from Boston to North Carolina. Her career is read from L7 in his navamsa and is fine. In D-4 the antardasha lord Jupiter is in the 3rd (12th from the 4th), the bhoga falls in the 12th, and Jupiter is the 8th lord in the bādhaka sthāna from A4: a move is shown. Mercury, whose 17-year mahadasha starts in 2009, is exalted in the 8th (Sarala Yoga) and in the 2nd from A4, so the next house is "like a king". In D-10 Jupiter in the bādhaka sthāna gives a change of job without loss of money, and Mercury as 5th and 8th lord in the 6th gives Dhimanta and Viparita Yoga: hard, productive work. The Tithi Praveśa charts of 2006–07 and 2007–08 time the job search (April 13 – June 1), and the class ends with remedies.

BPHS Ch.15 Verses 10–12 — Vehicle Timing (12th & 24th Year), D16 Shodasamsa & Critical Distinction: 4th House vs 4th Lord vs A4

The 4th-house chapter of BPHS from the 10th sloka: the verses that promise a vehicle in a fixed year. Verse 10 as it stands needs the 4th lord debilitated in the 11th house, Venus in the 12th and a natural-benefic lagna lord; the teacher tests every lagna and finds it possible only for Leo with Ketu, where the lagna lord Sun is no benefic, so the verse is either corrupt or fake. What does make sense is the 4th lord in the 11th: the 8th from the 4th, giving a sudden, early vehicle. The 4th lord with the 10th lord and exalted in Navamsa or Shodasamsa, and the exchange of the 4th and 11th lords, follow, then the closing rule that functional benefic influence on a house gives good results and malefic influence bad. The verses speak of comfort from a vehicle, which leads to the distinction: the 4th house is the comfort, the 4th lord the attitude to it, and A4 the vehicle people see.

Transit Murti System — Swarnamurti (Gold), Rajatamurti (Silver), Tamramurti (Copper), Lohamurti (Iron): When to Propitiate

How the teacher builds a general yearly reading (Panchanga Shravanam) and where the Murti of a transit comes in. A general reading ignores daśās and Tithi Pravesha and is only 50–60% reliable; he takes the transits of Jupiter, Saturn, Rahu and Ketu and picks the ones that stand out. When a planet enters a sign, count from the natal Moon to the Moon of that moment: 1, 6, 11 is Swarnamurti (gold, excellent); 2, 5, 9 Rajatamurti (silver, good); 3, 7, 10 Tamramurti (copper, bad); 4, 8, 12 Lohamurti (iron, terrible). Jupiter in the 11th as Lohamurti can give but will not, so a remedy there pays most; Saturn in the 6th as Swarnamurti needs none; a planet in the 8th as Tamramurti gives more trouble and is the one to propitiate for relief.

Mrityubhaga (Death-Inflicting Degree) — Definition, Controversy, D30 Root & Mundane New Year Charts: Hora Lord vs Vara Lord

Mrityubhaga: in each sign one degree is fatal for a given planet. The nth degree means (n−1)° to n°; K.S. Charak takes it as the point n° with half a degree either side, which the teacher rejects because bhāga means a portion and the degrees are rooted in Trimsamsa (D-30). A planet in Mrityubhaga with a link to the 8th house, the 8th lord or A8 gives a bad daśā in a Tithi Pravesha year, and huge suffering or death-like situations in the natal chart. In mundane work the teacher rejects the traditional planetary cabinet, which takes the weekday lord of the sunrise after the New Year; he takes the Hora lord at the exact moment, cast for the capital, so different countries have different kings. The 2007 Lunar New Year charts of Iran, Iraq and the US are read this way, and each further chart (Sun–Moon in Libra for finance, Sun entering Ardra for rain) has its own ruler and its own year. The class ends with country charts (no Vimshottari for a country) and with when to use the annual chart and when the natal chart.

BPHS Ch.16 Verse 12 — Many Children Combo, Gulika vs Mandi Debate (PVNR vs Sanjay Rath) & D7 Saptamsa Application

Verse 12: the 5th house aspected or occupied by a strong Mercury, Jupiter and Venus, with the 5th lord also strong, gives many children. Gulika and Mandi: Parashara (BPHS Ch.3, from verse 66) divides the day and the night into 8 parts ruled in weekday order from the weekday lord (by night from the 5th from him), the 8th part having no lord; the lagna rising when Saturn’s part begins is Gulika. The teacher holds that Mandi and Gulika are two names for one upagraha, because Parashara defines only Gulika and uses both words. Sanjay Rath treats them as two entities and gives the lordless 8th part to Gulika; Jagannatha Hora offers both definitions. The teacher disagrees only because Parashara says otherwise, and admits he has not researched it. Saptamsa: put the lord of the particular child’s house (the 5th counted forward for an odd lagna, backward for an even one) in place of the 5th lord in these verses; that lord in the 2nd from the child’s house is in its maraka sthana.

D10 Dasamsa Rectification — Husband Chart (1976): Rahu in 10th House, Attitude Problem (Sun as 6L in Lagna) & Career Assessment

A man born in 1976 holds a routine technical job, earns little, and married after his income was overstated tenfold. At the given time the lagna is 15°49′ Pisces, on a Dasamsa border. Aries Dasamsa lagna puts an exalted 10th lord Saturn in the 7th and a nīcabhaṅga Jupiter, the 9th lord, in the 10th — a respected career, which does not fit. About 2 min 44 s earlier the Dasamsa lagna is Pisces: Rahu as 12th lord in the 10th with A8, Sun as 6th lord in lagna (he refuses anything short of a big role), A9, A10, A4 and A3 in the 12th, and Sarpa Yoga from natural malefics in the quadrants. The teacher refuses to read the marriage lie from Rahu in the Dasamsa 10th; that is seen from the 2nd house and Jupiter in Rasi and Navamsa. Venus dasha, the 8th lord’s, keeps the career poor until 2019, with a break in Jupiter antardasha, 2009–2012. The page ends with the Navamsa reading of Venus–Rahu for the marriage, Brahmana Shapa, and the remedies: Durga for livelihood, Thursday fasting and Lakshmi for the marriage.

BPHS Ch.16 Verses 18–23 — Child Timing by Year: Venus (32–33), Jupiter (30/36), the 40th Year, and Child Loss Predictions

Six verses that name a year of life. Jupiter in the 5th with the 5th lord joining Venus gives a child in the 32nd or 33rd year, which PVNR links to the natural years of Venus and generalises to Venus periods. The 5th lord in a kendra with Jupiter gives the 30th or 36th year, the 36th being Jupiter's natural year. Jupiter in the 9th with Venus in the 5th or with the lagna lord gives the 40th year: fortune after a delay. Verses 21–23 give the loss of a child (32nd year; 24th, 33rd or 36th) and grief from children in the 56th year when Mandi and Rahu are in lagna. PVNR's verdict: the reading of strength and weakness works, the stated year often does not — use dasas, transits and Tithi Pravesa, count solar years, and judge a particular child from the Saptamsa.

House Sale Decision (the example 1965) — A4-A8 Exchange, Narayana Dasha Scorpio, Venus TP Window (July-August) & D20 Ishtadevata

A woman asks whether to sell her house this year or next. PVNR reads the Chaturthamsa from A4, the residence: the Dwisaptati Sama, Vimshottari and Narayana dasha lords are judged as marakas from A4. The Tithi Pravesha chart of the running year settles it — A4 in the 8th and A8 in the 4th of its D4, with Venus, lord of the 4th and of A11, in the 6th with the 8th lord: sell in Venus dasha, July to early August. Next year’s chart has Gajakesari yoga and A9 in the D4 lagna: buy then. The second half of the page reads the same chart’s Vimshamsa for her sadhana: Atmakaraka Moon in the 8th, Mars dasha to come, the Narayana dasha of D20, the upapada from Moon, and Venus as Ishtadevata.

Business Partnership Chart (1971) — A7 in 10H of the Dasamsa, Mars Connecting All Kama Trikonas, Sun AD in Mercury MD & Shatabdika Dasha

A man in practice with a partner of twelve years is offered a new partnership while the old partner wants to leave. The career is read in the Dasamsa (Capricorn lagna), not the Leo rasi: yogakaraka Venus in lagna, A7 and the 7th lord in the 10th, and Mars — lord of A3 and of the 11th, placed in the 7th — tying the three kama trikonas together make it a businessman's chart. Vimshottari (Mercury–Sun) and Shatabdika dasha, used because the lagna is vargottama, both bring the Sun in from August 2007; as lord of the 8th alone he is neutral, and his friendship with Jupiter and the 9th lord against his enmity with Rahu turns his sudden change into fortune. Two Tithi Pravesha charts then narrow the timing: part with the old partner in the Rahu period, and sign the new deed on 19–25 November 2007. The class ends with a health warning from Saturn's transit and the 2009–10 annual chart, and the remedies — including the devata found from the 7th from Darakaraka in the Navamsa.

Muhurta Philosophy — Priority of Factors (Lagna > Tithi/Nakshatra > Month), Un-Used Muhurta Is Not Bad & Bhadrapada Masa

A student’s muhurta in Bhadrapada masa was dropped on a priest’s advice, and he asks what he missed. The teacher rejects the idea of “muhurta balam” — that a good muhurta always gets carried out and an unused one must have been weak. A good muhurta goes unused because of the person’s dashas, or a weakness in the moment the astrologer sat down to choose it; a bad one can be carried out when destiny pulls the person to it. A muhurta is judged by what unfolds after the thing is started. Priority of factors: lagna and planetary positions first, then tithi bala and nakshatra bala, then karana, vara and yoga; a rule that discards a whole month, such as avoiding Bhadrapada, is low, and one that discards a whole year lowest.

House Sale Revisited (Example Chart, 1955) — D4 A4+A11 Analysis, Mercury Sarala Yoga, Narayana Dasha 4-Quarter Subdivision

The chart of Lesson 104 again: the native has moved, and the old house has not sold. In D4 (Aquarius lagna) A4 and A11 are together in Leo with Rahu, so a tangible gain from the house is promised, but Saturn, the running pratyantar lord, is in Cancer, the 12th from both — the giving up he shows may be only the leaving, already done. Mercury is exalted in Virgo as 8th lord in the 8th (Sarala yoga) and in the 2nd from A4 and A11 with argala on A11: a sudden gain, so his pratyantar from November 3 is the better candidate. In the Narayana dasha of D4 the last third of Pisces gives Jupiter’s results in four quarters — house occupied, houses owned, yogas, exaltation and avastha: the first (3rd house, 12th from the 4th) is the moving away; the second, December 1, 2007 to November 1, 2008, is Jupiter as 2nd and 11th lord, the money from the sale.

House Sale TP Analysis — Jupiter Dasha (Sudden Buyer Nov), Rahu Dasha (Sale Execution Dec+), Guru-Chandala Yoga & Compromised Price Teaching

The Tithi Pravesh chart of 2007 has the last say on when the house sells. Jupiter’s dasha runs till December 2: in D4 he is the 9th lord in the 11th, in A8, with the 8th lord Rahu; in rasi he is the 9th and 12th lord in the 8th, in A11 — a functional benefic giving sudden good. Rahu’s dasha follows: in his own Aquarius in the 11th in rasi, 8th lord in the 11th in D4, with argala on A11. The teacher expects a buyer to appear suddenly in the second half of November and the signing and money in the weeks after December 2. Jupiter and Rahu together in D4 form Guru-Chandala yoga, so the sale comes at a compromise price and leaves the seller unhappy.

Druk Dasha Methodology — 9th-House Based, Progressed Lagna, Dasha Pravesh Chakra & Swami Sivananda: Pravrajya Yoga + Nirvikalpa Indicator

Druk Dasha is the progression of the 9th house, the storehouse of God’s light; Jaimini’s sutra starts it from the 9th in groups of three. It shows religious activity and the spiritual progress that results. Method: read the natal influences on the dasha sign, then take the 5th from the dasha sign as the dasha lagna, then read the Dasha Pravesha Chakra (the Tajika chart of the year the dasha begins) from that same lagna; trust what both charts show. Swami Sivananda’s Aries dasha (1923–1930) is worked through: Bhratrikaraka Mercury aspects Aries, so a guru comes; from the dasha lagna Leo, Mars, Saturn and Rahu fill the 12th, and Saturn and Rahu are 7th lords there. The 1923 pravesha chart has five planets in Leo with the 10th lord among them, which is Pravrajya yoga. The teacher adds an observation from three charts, not to be used for prediction: Sun and Moon with the nodes on the lagna axis of the pravesha chart in the dasha of Nirvikalpa Samadhi.

Student Chart: Druk Dasha Sagittarius (2003–2012) — Mars+Venus Raj Yoga in 9H, Mercury+Ketu in 8H (Karma+Jnana), Rahu with Moon (Confusion then Expansion)

A student’s chart (Gemini lagna, Jupiter in lagna, Moon exalted with Rahu) is read for her Sagittarius Druk Dasha, November 2003 to November 2012. Natally Sagittarius holds Venus and Mars, a Dhimanta yoga. The dasha lagna is Aries, the 5th from Sagittarius: Mercury and 8th lord Ketu in the 8th raise sadhana, chiefly Karma yoga; lagna lord Mars and 7th lord Venus form a Raja yoga in the 9th, so she works with others in dharmic activity; 5th lord Sun debilitated in the 7th gives humility in devotion; 4th lord Moon with the badhaka lord Rahu gives confusion of direction first and expansion later. The Dasha Pravesha Chakra of 2003 repeats the 8th-house theme. The next dasha, Virgo (2012–2021), strengthens the 12th from its lagna Capricorn in both charts, so inner detachment and progress come then. Two antardashas show how a factor seen in only one chart is not predicted.

Druk Dasha — When to Expect a Guru (Bhratrikaraka/9th Lord in Dasha Sign), Antardasha Method (7th Sign → 11th from AD Sign)

When does a Druk Dasha bring a guru? Take three planets from the natal chart: the 9th lord from lagna, the 9th lord from Jupiter and the Bhratrikaraka. When one of them sits in the dasha sign or aspects it, that dasha can bring a guru or his guidance; Jupiter in the dasha sign counts too. The page works the rule on two charts, one where the Bhratrikaraka Sun is in the dasha sign and one where Mercury aspects four dashas in a row (1990–2026). It then gives the antardasha method: antardashas start from the 7th from the dasha sign, the lagna is the 11th from the antardasha sign, and each is read in its own pravesha chart. Eight antardashas of a Scorpio dasha are read this way, with the caution that an antardasha is named only when it repeats what the dasha already shows. The class closes with the teacher's answer to a student troubled by scandals around gurus.

Example Chart (1953) — Scorpio Dasha (Karma Yoga via 6H), Leo Dasha (2012–2020, Strongest Guru Period), Tapasya Yoga & Aries Formative Dasha

A student's chart (1953, Cancer lagna) read dasha by dasha, each one from the 5th sign from the dasha sign, in the natal chart and in the Dasha Pravesha Chakra. Scorpio dasha, read from Pisces: the 5th and 6th are strong in the natal chart, the 6th holds its own lord in both charts, and the 6th wins, so this is a period of karma yoga. Its pravesha chart also has the tapasya yoga: Ketu in the 8th with Saturn and Venus in trines from him. Leo dasha (2012–2020), read from Sagittarius: the 9th holds Sun and Mercury in both charts, the Bhratrikaraka Sun is in the dasha sign and the 9th lord from Jupiter aspects it, so a guru gives him a push. Aries dasha (1989–96), read from Leo: the lagna dominates in both charts, the formative period. The native confirms he met his yoga teacher in 1987, in Gemini dasha, and began teaching about 1989.

Example Chart (1988) — Druk Dasha Cancer (Exalted Mars in 3H from Dasha Lagna), Writing as Spiritual Mission & Druk Dasha's Proper Role

A father asks whether his son (born 1988) will write a book on spiritual matters. Cancer dasha is read from Scorpio: in the Dasha Pravesha Chakra the lagna lord Mars is exalted in the 3rd, which allows writing. But Druk Dasha is a supplement; whether a book gets written is seen from the rasi chart, the dasamsa and the regular dashas, and Druk Dasha only shows whether the writing belongs to the spiritual journey, as it did for Aurobindo. The teacher prefers Libra dasha (2010–2017), where Mercury is in the 3rd and Jupiter in the 2nd of the pravesha chart. The father's own chart (1961) follows: Gemini dasha with the 10th and 12th strong (recognition and detachment), Pisces dasha with the 3rd dominant (he may write more than his son) and a maraka combination that gives mystical experiences, Sagittarius dasha with a raja yoga in the 5th (fame). The page ends with the difference between the 6th and the 10th house and what Druk Dasha should be used for.

Example Chart (1926) — Leo Dasha (Mystical Experiences, Guru Blessings), Taurus Dasha (Big Spiritual Events) & AK-BK Mutual Kendra in Navamsa (Gajakesari Yoga)

A learned spiritual teacher and homeopath, Capricorn lagna with debilitated but retrograde Jupiter in lagna. The guru at the soul level is the Bhratrukaraka: AK Jupiter (Virgo) and BK Moon (Sagittarius) are in mutual kendra in Navamsa, with a Mercury–Jupiter parivartana and Putrakaraka Mercury joining them — the guru's blessings, Gajakesari fame and faithful followers. The guru's blessings come in the dasha whose sign is linked to the BK, the 9th lord or Jupiter: Leo holds BK Moon. In Leo dasha the progressed lagna is Sagittarius, with exalted Ketu in lagna, Jupiter in the 2nd, and the 9th and 10th lords Sun and Mercury in the 8th — dharmic work and, with the 7th lord in the 8th, mystical experiences. In Taurus dasha the progressed lagna is Virgo: the lagna lord is tied to the 12th but the 10th is very strong in both the natal and dasha-start charts, so a man who wants moksha still does big things. Death is not seen from Druk Dasha.

Catering Business Chart (1966) — Mars Dasha D10 Analysis, Ketu Argala Debate (PVNR vs Sanjay Ji) & Graha Arudha Introduction

A woman who has not worked for 15 years asks whether to start a catering business. Her rasi lagna is Scorpio; the Dasamsa lagna lies on the Libra/Scorpio border and her career events fix it as Libra (Venus dasha started the career, Sun–Mars broke it). In D10 the 10th lords of both rasi and D10 are in the 12th, which is why no career held. Mars dasha changes that: Mars is the 7th lord in the 3rd with lagna lord Venus and in the 11th from Arudha Lagna — a maraka for service but the karaka for business — so she must run her own business and not work for anyone. The hora chart, the antardashas (Mars–Mercury best), the annual charts for 2007 and 2008, Narayana dasha and the Lakshmi Narasimha remedy follow. The page also covers the argala discussion of this class — what virodhargala does, malefics in the 3rd, and PVNR's difference with Sanjay Ji on Ketu — and the graha arudha, with Sanjay Ji's dual graha arudha worked on this chart.

Female Bank Manager (1963) — Chaturashiti Sama Dasha, Saturn/Sun AD Career Trouble, Pearl over Ruby & Kali-Ganesha Remedy

A bank assistant manager is loaded with other people's work, troubled by her boss and gets no recognition. The 10th lord Sun is in the 10th, so Chaturāśīti-sama daśā is used. In the D-10 (Leo lagna, fifteen seconds from Cancer) Venus daśā is good in itself — 10th lord with 5th lord Jupiter in the 11th — but the Saturn and Sun antardaśās bring out Saturn sitting on the lagna lord Sun in the 10th, and Sun falls in the 12th from Venus. Moon's antardaśā gives relief and a change of place or boss; recognition peaks in Venus–Jupiter, 2013–14. The class then tests the remedies a student had given: Gaṇeśa and Kālī are confirmed, and pearl is preferred to ruby because the daśā lord Venus must accept the stone.

Female Dentist Marriage Prediction (1975) — Saturn-Venus Failed (12th from UL), Multi-Dasha Convergence June–July 2008 & Lakshmi Ganapati Remedy

A student's prediction of marriage in July–August 2007 failed, and Saturn–Venus is ending with no marriage although Venus is the yogakāraka in the 7th of the Navāṁśa. PVNR admits he too would have expected it, then finds what was against Venus: the antardaśā Pāka in the 6th, Venus in the 12th from the Navāṁśa Upapada, and Venus a functional malefic counted from Saturn. The class rebuilds the timing from Nārāyaṇa daśā of the Navāṁśa and of the Rāśi, the Tithi Praveśa charts of 2006 and 2007, Vimśottarī Saturn–Sun and the transits, all of which meet in the second half of June and July 2008. The lesson: daśās always leave two or three candidates, so read the Tithi Praveśa of the year before committing. Remedies: Monday fast with Śiva or Rāma from the Upapada, and the Lakṣmī Gaṇapati mantra for Ketu's transit.

Narayana Dasha 4-Part Subdivision (Benefic: Occupancy→Yogas→Ownership→Avastha; Malefic: Reversed), Tithi Nityas (15 Forms) & DST in Muhurta

Three short topics from the end of the class. A planet's portion of a Nārāyaṇa daśā divides in four: a natural benefic gives occupancy first, then yogas, ownership and his own state, and a natural malefic gives them in reverse; whether Sun counts as a benefic when the Navāṁśa is read for marriage PVNR answers only as an intuition. The Tithi Nityās are forms of the Divine Mother for well-being and peace of mind, against the Mahāvidyās for spiritual understanding; a Nityā can be chosen from the special tithis (karma, putra, dhana and so on), though readings from those tithis alone are not reliable. Muhūrta and Tithi Praveśa times must be worked in the time zone the person's clock actually shows, with a fortnightly chart as the worked example — which also shows Trilochana yoga, Sun, Moon and Mars in mutual trines.

Propitiation vs Gemstone Safety Rules, Ishta Devata (12th from AK in Navamsa) & Druk Dasha Spiritual Timeline for the Child (2027–2035 Peak Sadhana)

The remedy for the child is Narasimha: Mercury, the afflicting 8th lord and also the Atmakaraka, shows Vishnu, and an ugra avatar that corresponds to Mars covers the lagna lord in the 12th as well. A gem increases a planet’s good where it is good and its bad where it is bad; propitiation, sattvic or rajasic, is always safe, and only a tamasic remedy can turn on the doer. Ishta Devata is the 12th from the AK in Navamsa: here it is empty Aquarius holding the Navamsa lagna, so he is inherently spiritual; start with Saturn, who aspects the sign (Vishnu), while the stronger lord Rahu in a Venusian sign (Durga) gives moksha in the end. Dṛg daśā times the spiritual life: a guru in Taurus or Aquarius daśā (2011–2027, most likely 2019–2027), and the maximum sadhana, with mystical experiences and some fame, in Scorpio daśā, November 2027 to November 2035.

Jupiter Transit Murti, Transit from Arudha Lagna vs Moon, & Kundalini Philosophy — Shivering is NOT Kundalini (It's Prana Vayus Cleaning Nadis)

A quick reading of a transit takes four things: the house from Moon, the tara from Moon’s nakshatra, the house from lagna if the chart is accurate, and the murti. Murti shows how easy the planet is to propitiate: Swarna murti withdraws its bad results readily, Loha murti is hell-bent. Jupiter, Saturn, Rahu and Ketu must be read together. Transit from Arudha Lagna shows how the world sees your material status, transit from Moon how you feel about it; Jupiter in the 9th from AL is a reality check on materialism and Saturn in the 8th from AL a big setback. Kundalini is self-awareness, the Shakti of the Ishta Devata who bound the infinite into a body; its rise is bliss, not shivering, and any path can awaken it. Shivering is at most the vayus cleaning the nadis before an awakening — a possibility for the child, not a conclusion.

Longevity Case Studies — Kanchi Swami (100 Years: Vargottama Saturn 73%), Example Chart (20 Years: Verse 6 + Jupiter in 6H) & Rahu in Leo/Virgo Raj Yoga

The Chapter 19 rules applied to two charts. Kanchi Swami (Leo lagna, lived about 100 years): lagna lord Sun and 8th lord Jupiter are in the 10th, Saturn is in a friend's sign in the 2nd, and 10th lord Venus, exalted in the 8th, becomes strong through her Parivartana with Jupiter. The "extremely strong lagna lord" verse does not fit the Sun or Venus, but it nearly fits Saturn: Vargottama, 73% in Vimsopaka Bala, aspected by Mars, Sun and Jupiter from Kendras. The second native (Sagittarius lagna, died at about 20): lagna lord Jupiter in the 6th in an enemy's sign, 8th lord Moon in Lagna with the 6th lord, 10th lord Mercury in the 12th; only Saturn, alone in the 8th in Cancer, promises life. The "8th lord in a Kendra, lagna lord very weak = 20 to 32 years" verse fits, and by Kshema Vimshottari he was in the dasha of the weak lagna lord. Also on this page: Rahu in a Leo or Virgo lagna as a Raja Yoga, from Rahu's 108 names.

NEW TECHNIQUE: Progressed Nakshatra (Count Tara from Dasha Lord's Nakshatra) + Transit Rules — Planet Gives Karaka Results in Bad Transit, Not Natal Yoga Results

Vimshottari is the Moon's progression through the nakshatras, so in Mercury dasha the progressed Moon is in Mercury's nakshatras. The teacher proposes counting the Tara of the slow transiting planets from the running dasha lord's nakshatra instead of from the birth nakshatra, and offers it as a technique to test. Worked on Kanchi Swami's sannyasa in February 1907 (Mercury dasha): Ketu falls in Kshema, Saturn in Mitra and Rahu in Parama Mitra Tara; only Jupiter is badly placed. Transit rules from the same discussion: a Yogakaraka Saturn in the 8th from the Moon still gives his karaka results, and his yoga results wait for the 3rd, 5th or 11th; a good transit gives only the good that planet holds in the natal chart. Last, a planet debilitated in Rasi with a Raja Yoga in a divisional chart gives the yoga with physical unhappiness, provided the matching Rasi house (10th for D-10, 8th for D-20) is strong.

Entrepreneur Case (1960, Virgo Lagna) — Marriage/Accident/Factory/Stock Crash Timeline, Lagna Vimshottari vs Chandra Vimshottari & D16 for Public Transport Accidents

A student's father: a Virgo-lagna entrepreneur (born 1960) who bought a leather-chemical factory on borrowed money, recovered the investment, lost it in the stock market and had to sell the factory. The class tests each dated event against Lagna Vimshottari and Chandra Vimshottari and learns why both are kept: lagna is how you act on the world, Moon is how the world acts on you. Career is read from D10 (Scorpio lagna): lagna lord Mars with Saturn in the 8th makes a risk-taker with a rough ride; the factory comes in Rahu–Venus, the recovery and the fall in Jupiter dasha, the loss of the factory when Saturn dasha begins. The May 2000 crash is read from Hora, where Sun, the 12th lord in the 11th, is eclipsed by Rahu. Also taught: D16 covers accidents in a bus as much as in your own car; Jupiter in gandanta, karaka for diabetes; Saturn for arthritis; the Tithi Pravesha test for whether to start something new; real estate yes, stock market never; Hanuman Chalisa 54 times a day.

A8 from AL (Sudden Rise or Fall), Saturn-Jupiter Mutual Exchange Results, Jupiter = Diabetes Karaka, Saturn = Vata/Arthritis & Hanuman for Saturn-Mars Charts

The principles drawn out of the two charts of this class. A8 can mean a sudden rise or a big fall: the planet sitting in it decides, judged as a functional benefic or malefic from lagna — in the first chart Jupiter in A8 in the 10th of D10 gives sudden good breaks, Saturn there gives the negative side. Planets placed together exchange results, so Saturn's periods give Jupiter's results and Jupiter's give Saturn's; in the second chart that makes Saturn dasha the carrier of a badhaka lord Jupiter in gandanta, and worse for health than Jupiter dasha itself. Jupiter is the karaka for diabetes, Saturn for vata conditions such as arthritis. Remedies: Mrityunjaya homa and mantra for a planet in gandanta; for Saturn with Mars, Hanuman Chalisa 54 times a day, because a severe affliction needs a severe effort.

Example Chart (1960) — Shoola Dasha Longevity (Aquarius Dasha Critical), D20 Saturn Dasha Spiritual Life & 3rd from AL = Circumstances of Death

A Virgo-lagna chart (born 1960) is read for longevity and then for spiritual life. A maraka period is confirmed in two Vimshottari systems and in the Rudramsa (D-11) before the Shoola Dasha is opened: the danger signs are the Arudha Lagna, its trines and the 3rd from it, and the running Aquarius dasha (till 2014) is a trine from AL, holds Ketu and is aspected by Sun and Rahu from Leo. The 3rd from AL shows the circumstances of death; Rahu there means sudden and unnatural. The three-parts rule gives two short and one middle, lifted to lower-middle life by the exalted lagna lord. In the Vimshamsa (Leo lagna) Saturn, Jupiter and Mars are in lagna, so Saturn dasha gives the results of Jupiter, the 5th and 8th lord, with the 8th house in Pisces: temple-going turns into a search for Brahman. The Narayana Dasha of D-20 is read in thirds and Drig Dasha shows the Guru arriving. The page ends with his wife read from L7 in the Navamsa and the teacher on preparing for death.

Lady with Bone Marrow Disease (the example 1951, Gemini Lagna) — Chaturasiti Sama Dasha (10L in 10H), D6 Lagna Lord ≠ Protection & Narasimha Mantra

A lady born in 1951 (Gemini lagna 2°48') hospitalized in early 2008 with a bone marrow disease and waiting for a transplant donor. Because the 10th lord Jupiter is in the 10th, the conditional Chaturasiti Sama Dasha is used: Saturn dasha (8th lord and lord of A6) with Mars antardasha (6th lord in lagna, in a weapon drekkana) brought the blow, and Venus pratyantardasha (12th lord with Ketu) the hospitalization. D6 confirms disease — Badhaka lord Saturn in the 8th and lagna lord Mars in the 6th — and gives the rule that a divisional chart’s lagna lord is the self in that area of life, not protection. Mercury antardasha from March 2009 gives a new lease of life but not full recovery; Narasimha is the remedy. Maraka periods, Shoola Dasha and two Tithi Pravesha charts place the danger to life in Sun dasha, May 2014 to October 2017, not now.

BPHS Ch.24 — Lagna Lord in Houses 4–6 (Parents, Children's Risk, Siddhi-Fighter) & Lagna Vimshottari: 30× More Sensitive, Best for Rectification

Lagna lord in the 4th: attached to mother and, by aspect on the 10th, to father; argala on the 3rd gives siblings and desires; Arudha Lagna falls in the 4th itself, and a planet in Arudha Lagna decides the looks. In the 5th: happiness from children is middling and the first child is at risk, because the lagna lord has argala on the 12th from the 5th, aspects the 11th (maraka of the 5th) and is lord of the 9th from the 5th; it can equally be a doting parent. In the 6th: a fighter with no bodily comfort, whose placement catalyses the 8th house of worry or of sadhana. The second half is Lagna Vimshottari: use it when lagna has more planets in kendras than Moon, remember that it is 30 times more sensitive to birth time (about four months per minute in the example), and test its dates on a known event, here the native's marriage.

Example Chart (1953, Cancer Lagna) — Elbow/Nerve Pain: Mars in Gandanta + Sarpa Drekkana, TP Mercury as Badhaka + Nakshatra Pravesh for Health & Kavachas

A student asks whether an elbow pain that began two weeks before the class (July 2008) will last. Lagna is stronger than Moon, so Lagna Vimshottari is used: the dasha of Mars is just starting. Mars is the yogakaraka for Cancer lagna, but he is in lagna in gandanta, in a sarpa drekkana, lord of the 64th navamsa, and alone aspects the 8th of D-6; Mars rules nerve tissue. The Tithi Pravesha of 2007 explains the onset in Mercury’s period (badhaka lord in the badhaka sthana, 7th lord in the 8th of D-6, 8th lord in the 7th of D-30); the 2008 chart has the three trinal lords in the 8th and shows no lasting illness. Verdict: weeks to a couple of months, not long-term. Remedy: the kavachas of Moon, the lagna lord, and of Mars.

CA Exam Chart (1984, Leo Lagna) — D24 6th House for Competitive Exams (Not 9th), AL+A5 Yoga in Gemini & Mercury Sub-Period May–July 2009 as Target Window

A B.Com and MBA graduate has failed the Chartered Accountancy final for two years and asks which deity to pray to. The teacher reads the whole education from D24 (Aries lagna): the bachelor's degree from the 9th house, the master's from the 2nd (6th from the 9th), and a competitive exam taken for one's livelihood from the 6th, with the 10th as support. The 9th lord Jupiter in the 6th ties the exam to the B.Com; the 6th lord Mercury, kāraka of accounting, in the 8th with the 8th lord gives a Vipareeta Rāja Yoga — hard work, then success. Timing uses three tools together: the Narayana daśā of D24 (Gemini, holding AL and A5 — success before February 2010), the nakshatra daśā that applies when the 10th lord is in the 10th (Venus–Sun–Mercury, about April–July 2009), and the D24 of two Tithi Praveśa years (2008 mixed, 2009 strong). He puts 20–25% on the coming attempt and 70–75% on next year, shows how to say that to the client, and prescribes the Viṣṇu Sahasranāma with sampuṭīkaraṇa for Mercury.

Example Chart (1969, Leo Lagna) — 8th+12th for Mystical Experience vs Just Sadhana, Cancer Drig Dasha Guru Arrival (from 2008) & Libra Dasha Deep Realizations (2015-22)

A woman’s chart (1969, Leo lagna) brought by a student: she is drawn to religion and philosophy and wants a guru. The lagna lord Sun is in the 8th with Rahu, aspected by the 8th lord Jupiter and Ketu from the 2nd — a fortified 2nd–8th axis and an interest in mysticism. The lagna degree sits on a Daśāṁśa and Viṁśāṁśa border, and the native's own 2-second rectification (D-10 lagna Scorpio instead of Sagittarius) is tested against her work as a manager. Dṛg daśā is then read with the progressed lagna in the 5th from the daśā sign: Cancer daśā from March 2008 is the daśā of the guru’s arrival (bhrātṛ-kāraka Mars in the progressed lagna Scorpio, 9th lord Moon exalted and aspecting it); Libra daśā, 2015–2022, loads the 2nd–8th axis and promises mystical experience. The rule: experience needs very strong 8th and 12th houses, otherwise there is only sādhana. The class ends with the deity (Śiva as guru, from Sun and Rahu in the 8th under Jupiter’s aspect), the mantra, and the annual chart that times passing it on. Before the chart, the teacher’s rule for choosing a daśā: test it on past events.

Example Chart (1975, Gemini Lagna) — D10 Rectification Tested by Events and Dropped, Navamsha Verification, Saturn in AL = Status Trouble & Contract Work Safer than Employment

A software engineer’s chart (1975, Gemini lagna) brought with a career question. The teacher suspects the D-10 lagna should be Leo, not Cancer, and the D-9 lagna Sagittarius, not Scorpio, and tests both against the marriage (December 2001) and the first job (March 2002) using Chaturaśīti-sama daśā, the 2001 Tithi Praveśa chart and Narayana daśā. The annual chart and the Scorpio Narayana daśā of the navāṁśa both support the time as given, so nothing is changed: Scorpio D-9 and Cancer D-10 stand. The year is then read: Sun–Saturn antardaśā (July 2007 – April 2009) with Saturn, the 8th lord, in the ārūḍha lagna of D-10 is bad for status and brings trouble with bosses, and the 2008 Tithi Praveśa confirms a bad year for service — she had just been given notice. Advice: short-term contract work, a good window from September 12 to December 16, a possible shock after that, and worship of Venkaṭeśvara for Saturn and Rahu.

Example Chart — Divorce Litigation (1971): Venus Karaka-Lagna for Marriage, 9th from UL Protects Marriage & Upanayana Guru Chandal Yoga Warning (Jupiter + Rahu in Debility)

A 1971 chart (Taurus lagna, Leo Navāṁśa): about five years of divorce litigation, and the wife now wants to return. In rāśi the 7th and 8th lords exchange houses. Venus daśā gave the marriage, which fits the Navāṁśa: Venus is in the 7th there and owns the Navāṁśa Upapada. Moon daśā brought the litigation: in Navāṁśa Moon is the 12th lord in the bādhaka sthāna, and from Venus taken as kāraka-lagna he is the 6th lord. PVNR justifies the Venus lagna from Parāśara and from Venus being stronger than the Navāṁśa lagna. The running Saturn antardaśā (lagna lord in the 11th from Venus) and the coming Mercury antardaśā do not break the marriage: Mercury is the 2nd lord from the rāśi UL and sits in the 9th from UL in both rāśi and Navāṁśa. Verdict: the divorce is unlikely and they should get back together; only Sun antardaśā needs care. Remedy: Viṣṇu Sahasranāma with the Devī verse Sarva-maṅgala-māṅgalye between its verses, and a fast on Sundays because UL is in Leo. The class also covers Jupiter crossing the Capricorn–Aquarius border and back, and an Upanayana muhūrta spoiled by debilitated Jupiter within a degree of Rāhu.

Example Chart (1983, Leo Lagna) — Narayana Dasha Career: Pachakadi Relationships (Pachaka/Bodhaka/Karaka/Vedhaka) & Kalachakra 8-Spoke System (Indira Gandhi: Death, Power, Sanjay)

A student asks whether Narayana Dasha shows a permanent position at work. The teacher has him read the natal chart from the progressed lagna before the period entry chart, split the Libra dasha in three parts, and then move to the Dasamsa Narayana Dasha: Aries, the 2nd house, holding A6 — fights at the workplace and permanent service, not business. Vimshottari is then read in the Dasamsa: Ketu, 9th lord in the 11th, with antardashas ranked Venus, Sun, Moon and then Mars and Jupiter as the good ones. Pachakadi Sambandha (Pachaka ripens, Bodhaka explains, Karaka executes, Vedhaka obstructs) explains why Venus gave a break and why the Sun antardasha troubles the 9th house — boss and guidance. The class ends with the Kalachakra of a Tithi Pravesha chart, an axle and eight spokes, used only to confirm what the divisional charts show; four years of Indira Gandhi’s life are the examples.

Example Chart (1980, Aries Lagna) — Marriage Crisis D7/UL Analysis: 8th from UL Loaded (7 Planets on 2nd/8th Axis), Jagannatha Hora Ayanamsa (Fixed Chitra Plane) & First vs Second Marriage via Tithi Pravesh

A marriage of 2008 is in crisis: the wife has left and wants a divorce. In the Rasi the Upapada is in Capricorn with Mercury and Ketu in the 2nd from it and five planets in the 8th from it, including its 7th lord Moon — the first marriage does not survive. The native had earlier lived with a woman for three years, so the question is whether the 2008 wedding is the first marriage or the second. Narayana Dasha and Vimshottari justify both; the Tithi Pravesha of 2008 settles it, because the Tithi Ashtottari dasha of the 7th lord Jupiter gave the wedding. It is the first marriage, since marriage is a life commitment and not just living together. The Tithi Pravesha Navamsas of 2008 and 2009 and the wife's chart all point to a break, with June–July 2009 critical and October–November the only opening. The page also explains the Jagannatha ayanamsa, which moves the native's Venus from 29°59'58" Aries to 0°03' Taurus.

VE7 Special Lagna Research (PVNR, ~80% Accuracy): 7th from VE7 Must Link to Lagna in Marriage Dasha, Verified in Vimshottari + Tithi Pravesh + Tajaka Muddha Dasha & Business D10: A7 in 3H + A3 in 7H = Arudha Exchange for Commerce

VE7 is an experimental special lagna: it starts from the rising of Venus and moves seven times as fast as lagna, as Horā Lagna uses 2 and Ghaṭī Lagna uses 5. The rule under test: the 7th house from VE7 must be linked to lagna by the daśā or antardaśā that brings marriage. The teacher finds it in about 80% of charts and says plainly that it is research, not infallible, and usable in the rāśi chart only, since VE7 changes sign every 17 minutes. The example (born 1950, married March 24, 1973) is worked in the natal chart with Mercury–Saturn, in the 1972 Tithi Praveśa chart, and in the Tājaka chart with Mudda daśā. The class then reads the same native’s business from D-10: A7 in the 3rd and A3 in the 7th, the kāma trikoṇa lords converging on the 11th, the Moon daśā antardaśā by antardaśā, the running year’s Tithi Praveśa chart, and Durgā for the Rāhu antardaśā.

Mother's Health (1953): D12 Karaka-Lagna + 6L by House = Foot Problems Confirmed & the native (1984): D24 Rectification, Mercury-Jupiter Parivartana D9 = Happy Marriage, TP 9/10/11L in 7H = 2010 Marriage Year

Two charts worked in class. First, a mother's illness read from her son's chart: in D-12 the graha ārūḍha of the 4th lord (L4, Aquarius) is taken as her lagna; the running Mercury antardaśā is her 8th lord with Ketu on her lagna lord, so the trouble is long-term, to 2012. The 2008–09 Tithi Praveśa D-12 shows her foot complaint only after the birth time is taken back 40 seconds — the Moon then is a māraka exalted in the 12th from L4 — and the 4th from the Moon in D-12 confirms it. Second, a woman of 24 whose matches keep breaking: D-24 will not show her computer-science degree until the time is moved back 3 min 40 s, which also changes the navāṁśa. The new navāṁśa has lagna lord Mercury in the 7th exchanging with 7th lord Jupiter in the 4th — a happy marriage, given by Mercury's daśā, which has not yet begun. Navāṁśa Nārāyaṇa Daśā and the 2009–10 Tithi Praveśa place it in January–June 2010, Mercury's period strongest.

Example Chart (1969): D16 Moon = 6L Debilitated in A8 = Vehicle Accidents; D6 Moon = 11L in 6H = Litigation; 5H in D4 = India Pull vs Rahu = Abroad & Example Chart (1955): Annual D10 6L in 7H = Layoff Risk; Harsha Yoga in Annual Chart = Win Litigation

Two charts read in class on 4 May 2009. The 1969 native has boss trouble, has just hit a cyclist and been taken to court, and wants to move back to India. The teacher chooses Ṣaṣṭihāyanī daśā over Śatābdikā by testing it on past events, then reads Sun–Moon varga by varga: in D-10 the Moon is the debilitated 5th lord in the 9th with Rahu and the 8th lord Venus (boss trouble, loss of peace); in D-4 he is the 5th lord in lagna (pull to the motherland) but eclipsed by the 12th lord Rahu; in D-16 he is the debilitated 6th lord in A8 (vehicle accident); in D-6 he is the 11th lord in the 6th (a court case he can win). Two Tithi Praveśa charts rectify the birth time by 30 seconds and place the likely closure of the case in the Mars period, September 2009 — Harṣa Yoga. The 1955 native faces a layoff round: in the annual D-10 the year lord Mars is the 6th lord in the 7th — loss of service — and his period runs 8 June to 4 July 2009. The coming Mercury daśā (8th lord exalted in the 8th, lord of ārūḍha lagna) is judged good after an unsettled start.

Lady (the example 1970, Rectified): D4 5th House = Motherland Pull (Jupiter + 5L), Saptamsha Gender Determination (3 Factors), Two Boys Confirmed, Saturn Dasha 2012-31 = Children Excel & Ishta Devata: AK → 12th from AK in D9

A woman who has lived in the US for twelve years is leaving for India in two days, in Jupiter–Mars, and asks whether the family will settle. In the chaturthāṁśa the 1st and 5th houses show the motherland and the 9th and 12th show abroad; Jupiter is in the 5th with the 5th lord and Mars is in the 5th from him. The birth time is moved 52 seconds, from Gemini to Taurus saptāṁśa lagna, because only then do the lords of the children’s signs show two boys and a break at the third. The navāṁśa shows no threat to the marriage, the saptāṁśa shows both children doing well in Saturn daśā (2012–2031), and the Tithi Praveśa charts of 2008–09, 2009–10 and 2010–11 improve year by year. The chance of her returning to the US is low. The remedy is the Hanumān Chālīsā: Mars is in the 12th from the Ātmakāraka Saturn in the navāṁśa, and Hanumān also relieves Saturn.

Example Chart (1985): D24/D4 Border Rectification, 5th House = Poorvapunya for First Job, June-July 2009 Job Window & D20 Aquarius Lagna, Leo Drig Dasha 2036-44 = Peak Sadhana, Ashtakshari Mantra for 8th House Charts

A 1985 chart read in June 2009 for a student finishing a master’s in electronics and computer science and looking for a first job in a recession. The lagna is at 15° Aries, on a hora border, where the lagna of every even varga changes at once; the teacher settles it with D24 (Leo lagna puts Mercury and Mars in the 9th — computers and electronics) and D4 (Libra lagna explains going abroad in Jupiter–Saturn), which fixes the Daśāṁśa lagna as Virgo. In Daśāṁśa the antardaśā lord Saturn is 5th lord in lagna — pūrva-puṇya, the key to a first job — and the Tithi Praveśa narrows it to June 23 – August 1, 2009. The strong 3rd, 7th and 11th houses of the Daśāṁśa point to consulting or business later in Jupiter daśā. The four planets in the 8th house are then tested through D9, D10, D6, D30 and D20: not ill health but hard work and sādhanā, with Leo Dṛg daśā (2036–44) as the period of experience and Veṅkaṭeśvara as the deity.

Example Chart (1981): Chaturshasiti Dasha (10L in 10H), Mercury = Primary Marriage Giver (D9 LL + UL Lord + Exalted), TP 2010-11 Venus Hora = Peak Year, Prasna 3-Level Reading & Emerald on Little Finger

A post-mortem of the class's own failed prediction. Marriage had been expected around April 2009, in Mars–Moon of Chaturaśīti-sama daśā (the daśā to use when the 10th lord is in the 10th); it did not happen. Mercury is the far stronger candidate — 7th lord exalted with the Upapada lord in the rāśi, in the navāṁśa lagna, 7th lord from exalted Venus — and his daśā starts only in February 2010. Three Tithi Praveśa years are compared: Mercury's year 2008–09 that misled, Jupiter's year 2009–10, and Venus's year 2010–11, where Venus is 7th lord in the 7th in mūlatrikoṇa. A praśna read on three levels (navāṁśa = past, rāśi = present, drekkāṇa = future) points to later rather than sooner: Śrāvaṇa māsa of 2011. Remedies: Saturday fast with prayer to Sadāśiva, Kārtikeya, and an emerald on the little finger.

Example Chart (1994, Gemini Lagna, D24 Rectified to Libra): D24 Education Problems (Rahu 5L in 12H + A4 in Dusthana), Ketu Dasha = Education Abroad, D16 Depression (LL + 6L Together), Kantaka Shani — Saturn in 4H/10H from Moon/Lagna & Vijaya Ganapati Mantra

A girl born in 1994 (Gemini lagna) who never took to studies. One minute decides the D24 lagna: Scorpio gives a strong education chart that does not fit her, Libra fits. With Libra, the lagna lord Venus is combust with the bādhaka lord, yogakāraka Saturn is aspected by Jupiter from maraṇa kāraka sthāna and by māraka Mars, Rāhu as 5th lord is in the 12th, and A4 is in a dusthāna from AL. Mercury daśā and Saturn antardaśā both activate the 8th from A4, so formal education may stop; Ketu daśā and the D4 point to study abroad. For the mind, the rāśi chart and D16 both put the lagna lord with Saturn and the 6th lord: depression under surface aggression, a Vāta picture. Remedies are Veṅkaṭeśvara, the Vijaya Gaṇapati mantra above all, and a diamond. The page ends with Kaṇṭaka Śani — Saturn transiting the 4th or 10th from Moon or lagna — raised by a student about her own transit.

Graha Yuddha: When the Lagna Lord Loses to a Maraka in the 8th

Graha yuddha — planetary war — between a lagna lord and a maraka in the 8th house, eleven arc minutes apart. The rule the class draws from it: a lagna lord defeated in graha yuddha is a fundamental weakness, and in the dasha of the planet that lost, the winner does what he wants — the time is his. Here the winner is the 7th and 2nd lord, an enemy, so the lagna lord's own dasha is run by the maraka. Beside it, the Trimsamsa (D-30) test for a mind under siege: Moon (manas) or Mercury (buddhi) afflicted by Saturn, Rahu or Ketu. That is a standing weakness; three dashas — Vimshottari, Chaturashiti Sama and the D-30 Paryāya Dasha — show which combination is giving results now. The Saptamsa is read for children (Rahu in the 5th as badhaka lord). The Navamsa is read for the first marriage from the 7th, the second from the 2nd and the third from the 9th, each taken as lagna, with the 2nd, 8th and 12th from the Upapada for marriage in general. Two Tithi Praveśa charts show a bad natal combination repeating on the lagna of the year, and then a better year with a window for marriage.

Son (1992, Aquarius Lagna): Venus Combust (Education Weak), Mars Paravatamsa (127% Shadbala) = Career Strong, Shatabdika Dasha Mars 2017–2037 = 20-Year Glorious Period, Venus Exalted D10 = Career Culmination & Bheemarupi Hanuman Stotra (54x/108 Days)

A father asks about his son's college education and career (Aquarius lagna, born 1992). The 4th and 9th lord Venus is in the 5th and vargottama but combust, under 7° from the Sun, so education is the weak side of the chart and Jupiter dasha (till 2018) runs on and off. Mars is the strong planet: 10th lord in the 3rd in Aries aspecting the 10th, amatyakaraka, own sign in rasi, navamsa and dasamsa, Paravatamsa, Shadbala 127%. Because the lagna is vargottama, Shatabdika Dasha applies; reckoned from lagna it gives Mars dasha from 2017 to 2037, which the teacher calls the glorious period of the life. His advice: take a Martian field such as engineering, do not lose heart over grades, and prepare for 2017. Remedies: propitiate Jupiter without his gem, a diamond for Venus, no red coral, and Hanuman — chosen over Subrahmanya because Mars is in Bharani and confirmed by a nimitta — with the Bheemarupi Hanuman Stotra of Samarth Ramdas.

Bhava Chart for Rectification: Taurus D4 (Not Aquarius) = Foreign Travel in Mercury-Rahu Dasha via Bhoga Technique; D10 Venus to 5H (Purva Punya) via Bhava = First Job Explained; Nakshatra-Planet Lordship = Dasha Only (NOT General Spiritual Rulership): Abhijit Cannot Have Vimshottari Lord

Rectify by the house a planet occupies by longitude, not by its sign, in divisional and Tithi Pravesha charts as well. A student's Leo-lagna chart (1983) shows it. He went abroad in Mercury–Rahu. At the recorded time the D4 lagna is 28° Aquarius; a minute and a half later it is Taurus. Taurus fits better: the bhoga of Mercury–Rahu (the 6th from Rahu, Scorpio) falls in the 7th instead of the 10th, and Ketu in the 8th explains five moves of house in Ketu dasha. The D24 lagna shifts with it and mechanical engineering fits either way. The Tithi Pravesha of 2000–01 shows the Hora Lord Sun delivering the journey although he sits in the 11th house of its D4. In D10 Venus, who gave the first job, is in the 6th by sign but the 5th by longitude. The second half is the teacher's objection to planetary nakshatra lords: Vimshottari lordship is a dasha mapping with no rishi precedent as a general rulership, and joining it to the 28-nakshatra scheme with Abhijit is illogical. The devatas of the nakshatras are the sound basis.

Dwisaptati Sama Dasha (Applicable When 7L in 1H): Sun MD = D10 12th Lord Spoils Venus-Saturn Raj Yoga (Raj Yoga Bhanga); 6th House Maraka: Lord of the 2nd from 6H = Lord of Job Loss; Antardasha Constraint: Antardasha Lord Must Find Common Ground with Mahadasha Lord

A student born in 1949, Leo lagna, has been out of a job since February 2009 and asks whether to look for a job or start a business. Saturn, the 7th lord, is in the 1st house, so Dwisaptati Sama Dasha applies alongside Vimshottari (the name is garbled in the recording; it is the 72-year dasha, not a “Jyotsna Samvatsara”). In the Dasamsa (Virgo lagna) Venus and Saturn, 9th and 5th lords, form a Raj yoga in the 2nd house, but the debilitated 12th lord Sun sits with them and breaks it: his dasha (2002 to May 2011) brings losses and compromises, triggered in the antardasha of Jupiter, who is lord of the 2nd from the 6th house of service and in Marana Karaka Sthana. The page also covers why the antardasha lord must find common ground with the mahadasha lord, why Sun’s debility is a blessing here, and why Moon dasha, 11th lord in the 12th house, favours investment and business where Sun dasha does not.

Example Chart — Woman (Jun 1975, Scorpio Lagna): Three Lagnas in D9 for Marriage (Natal + Venus + Moon), Rahu+Venus Foreign Dasha Confirmed (Karka in 12H + 12L in 9H), D10 Mercury+Rahu+Jupiter — AK as 3L+6L Gives Raj Yoga Bhanga; Jupiter AK Dasha NOT Career Rajyoga

A woman born in Sri Lanka in 1975 (Scorpio lagna 10°53′, Jupiter Atmakaraka and vargottama, running Jupiter dasha). The class first tests the data: the time zone (6h east of GMT kept, 5:30 tried by students) and a 4-minute earlier time that would make the navamsa lagna Virgo; it settles on 4:45 or 4:44 because the D-10 then puts Mercury in the 10th house. Marriage on Jan 21, 2001 in Jupiter–Jupiter is explained from three lagnas in the Libra navamsa: from Lagna Jupiter is 6th lord in the 6th (Harsha yoga); from exalted Venus he is lagna lord in lagna aspecting the 7th and its lord; from the Moon he is in the 7th house. The 2000 Tithi Pravesha (hora lord Mars, Venus dasha) is read alongside, and the teacher says plainly that it does not fall fully into place. Going abroad in April 1995 in Rahu–Venus: Rahu is in the 12th by house, Venus is 7th and 12th lord in the 9th exchanging aspects with the 9th lord Moon. Career: Mercury in Yamamsa with 6th lord Jupiter in the 10th of D-10 gives software testing; D-24 shows Mars on the 9th and 2nd for electrical engineering. Jupiter is 3rd and 6th lord in D-10, so he spoils the 5th–9th lord Raja yoga of Rahu and Mercury — being Atmakaraka does not promise recognition.

Example Chart — Children Analysis (D7): Mercury AD = 1st Girl, Venus AD = 2nd Girl, 3rd Child Very Unlikely (Ketu+Moon+Saturn = Abortion Risk); Ishta Devata = Chamundeshwari (Saturn+Mars in D20 Capricorn = Tamasic Warrior Deity); Dharma = Sponsor Sri Lanka Education; Pranayama: Correct Diaphragmatic Breathing First

Saptamsa reading for two daughters. D-7 lagna is Cancer, an even sign, so the children are counted backwards: the first from Pisces (Jupiter alone, which points to a boy), but Mercury falls in the 1st house from Jupiter and the birth came in Jupiter–Mercury, so the neutral planet turned it to a girl (Dec 19, 2005). The second is from Capricorn: Moon and Ketu in the 1st house from its lord Saturn give a girl (Oct 1, 2008, Jupiter–Venus, Venus on the 8th cusp from Saturn). Both births are checked in the Tithi Pravesha saptamsa. A third child would come from Scorpio, across the Saturn–Ketu–Moon group with no Jupiter to protect, and with Ketu, Moon and Saturn in the 2nd from Scorpio — very little chance, and a risk of abortion. Ishta Devata is taken from the 12th from Atmakaraka in the Vimsamsa, not the navamsa: Saturn in Capricorn, closely aspected by Mars and by debilitated Venus, gives a warrior form of the Mother — Chandi, Chamundeshwari. The page ends with the D-20 spiritual outlook and Drik dasha, the advice to correct diaphragmatic breathing before pranayama (Sun and Saturn in the 8th), and her dharma: 9th lord Mercury in the 10th in both D-9 and D-10, in a Manushya navamsa — sponsor education.

Example Chart (1936, Libra Lagna Rectified): Satapdrika Dasha = Vargottama Lagna Condition; Moon+Mercury = Vaishya Career (Medical Sales), Marriage Oct 1961 Confirmed (Mercury-Saturn in Vimshottari + Mercury-Moon in Satapdrika = UL Lord + Dharma-Karma Yoga)

A health chart given as 5:30 AM ± 5 minutes, with the navāṁśa lagna about to change 20 seconds later. The marriage of October 1961 is tested in three daśās: Śatābdika from the vargottama lagna gives Mercury–Moon (Upapada lord and 9th lord, with the 10th lord Moon in the navāṁśa), Vimśottarī gives Mercury–Saturn (Saturn aspects the 7th in rāśi and sits in the 7th from lagna and Venus in the navāṁśa), while Ṣaṣṭihāyanī gives Jupiter–Jupiter and is dropped. The daśāṁśa then moves the time back to 5:28: at 5:30 the 10th lord is the Sun with Rāhu, a surgeon; at 5:28 the 10th lord Moon joins the 9th lord Mercury — the Vaiśya planets, a salesman with a good career. The page also covers the ulcer as a Pitta problem from the debilitated bādhaka Sun in lagna, and the March 1986 health problem in Śatābdika Mars daśā and Vimśottarī Venus–Saturn.

D6 Cancer Analysis: Ketu (8L) in Lagna + Rahu (Badhaka) = Most Dangerous Combination; Health Prognosis to 2012 Critical (Ketu AD = Worst Period); CRITICAL Gemstone Rule: NEVER Wear Maraka/Badhaka Planet's Gem During Their Dasha; Remove Red Coral + Cat's Eye Immediately

The cancer of 2009 read from the ṣaṣṭhāṁśa (D-6, Aries lagna). It surfaced in Vimśottarī Mars–Jupiter: Jupiter sits in the 12th with the 6th lord Mercury under the aspect of the 8th lord Mars, so the 6th, 8th and 12th lords meet on the 6th–12th axis. The teacher's observation from cancer charts: Rāhu and Ketu, as bad lords, afflict the lagna, 6th or 8th of the D-6 — here the bādhaka lord Rāhu and the 8th lord Ketu are in the lagna. The antardaśās ahead are weighed one by one (Saturn, Mercury, Ketu the worst, Venus from February 2012 relatively better), and Śatābdika agrees on spring 2012 through the Sun antardaśā. On gemstones: a running daśā is no reason to wear a planet's stone — if the planet is ill-disposed you propitiate him, you do not wear him. Red coral and cat's eye are to be removed, ruby and emerald avoided, diamond is the only safe stone, and the remedy is Hanumān.

Pada Divisional Longitude Transit: Within 2-4° of Pada's D-Chart Longitude Triggers Events; Three Lagnas for Marriage (7H from Lagna=Physical, Moon=Mental, Venus=Conjugal Spirit); the native (1980, Virgo Lagna): Saturn-Rahu MD-AD = Marriage + TP 7th Lord in 7H Confirms

Verse 23 of BPHS Ch.30 leads to a timing technique: an ārūḍha pada has a divisional longitude in every varga, and a marriage planet transiting within 2-4 degrees of the Upapada's navāṁśa longitude can bring marriage. The page gives the orb, the teacher's research method and how to compute a divisional longitude by hand. The case study is a Virgo-lagna chart married in February 2005 in Saturn-Rahu of Vimshottari. Marriage is judged from three references — the 7th from lagna (physical), from the Moon (mental) and from Venus (the spirit of enjoyment) — and in the navāṁśa Saturn and Rahu are tied to those 7th houses when the houses are measured by divisional longitude. The Tithi Praveśa of the marriage year, read after a small change to the birth time, shows the annual daśā lord Jupiter as 7th lord in a kāma house and the lagna lord in the 7th.

Example Chart — D7 Children: Jupiter (Children Karka) + Rahu Exact 16' Apart in GANDANTA = Most Dangerous Children Block + 5th Lord in 12H = Abortions Confirmed; Hope After 2018 Vargosa Dasha; D20: Venus LL in 4H = Spiritual Peace + Mercury 9L in 10H = Follow Religious Dharma

The same Virgo-lagna chart, for the two pregnancies lost in 2007 and 2009. The teacher points to the 5th lord and Jupiter in the 12th house, and to Rahu — the 6th lord, in gaṇḍānta at the very start of Leo — afflicting Jupiter from 8 degrees away (Jupiter 8°11', Rahu 0°27'). These placements are in the rāśi chart; in the D-7 as cast Jupiter is in the 7th house. He singles out the rāśi daśā of 2018-2027, whose 5th from Virgo is Capricorn with four planets in the 8th from it. In D-20 (Libra lagna), Mercury as 9th lord in the 10th house makes the running Mercury daśā a time to follow dharma and religion, and lagna lord Venus in the 4th gives peace and direction through the religious life. He also marks out the 12th house from the Ātmakāraka Rahu, counted backwards from Rahu's longitude; the recording breaks before any conclusion.

Example Chart (Leo Lagna 1987): Civil Engineering → Computers/Electronics (Rahu MD Career Shift); TP 2009-10 Marriage (7L+9L+Ketu in 7H, Cancer); D7 Rahu-Venus (5L+LL) = Children ~2022-23; D20 Venus-Moon in 4H + Exalted Jupiter in 12H = No Confusion in Spiritual Direction; Deity = Lakshmi/Gayatri

A Leo-lagna civil engineer has left her first job and asks whether to work or study; her marriage is fixed for April. In the D-10 (Sagittarius lagna) the job came in Rahu-Rahu-Jupiter, Jupiter being lagna lord in the 6th aspecting the 10th, and went in the pratyantara of Saturn, the 3rd lord in the 3rd. Mercury, the 10th lord, can give a job next, and Rahu-Jupiter should give both the degree and the job. The D-24 favours further study under Jupiter and Mercury, but the nodes on the 10th axis of the D-10 and Rahu as 10th lord of the D-24 point to computers and electronics, not civil engineering. The Tithi Praveśa of 2009–10 shows the marriage: 7th lord Mercury, 9th lord Sun and Ketu together in the 7th house. The D-7 promises a child in Rahu daśā through the Rahu-Venus rāja yoga, the navāṁśa warns of friction in Rahu daśā, and the D-20 with Venus and Moon in the 4th under exalted Jupiter shows a clear spiritual direction.

JH 7.4 Features: Quantitative Aspect Evaluation (Any Div×Any Div), Stationary Transit (Planet Speed=0 = Max Power), Antardasha Ordering Variants; Vimshottari Dasha Progression: ONE Physical Zodiac (No Separate Navamsa Zodiac), Progressed Divisional Longitude + Transit Correlation = Events

Three additions to Jagannatha Hora 7.4 — percentage aspects of the planets of one divisional chart on the cusps, arudhas and special points of another; a choice of antardasha order for Ashtottari, Shodashottari and other nakshatra dashas; and the stationary-transit finder — with the longitude-based arudha padas they depend on. Then the principle of Vimshottari Dasha Progression: one mahadasha moves a planet through one nakshatra and one antardasha through one-ninth of it, equal arcs in unequal times, and any planet can be progressed, not only the Moon. The technique: progress the lord of the relevant house of the natal Rasi chart, take its divisional longitude in the chart of the matter, and see which Rasi transit planet conjoins or aspects that longitude within 2–4°. Behind it stands the idea that a divisional position is a point in the one physical zodiac. The page ends with the teacher’s own software settings and why the technique cannot fine-tune a birth time.

Dasha Progression Cases: Libra 1971 Marriage (Progressed 7L Mars in D9 = 4°42′ Aquarius; Transit Saturn 4°32′ = 10' Apart); PVNR Childbirth 1996 (Progressed 5L Saturn D7 = 7°11′ Aquarius; Transit Moon 7°34′); PVNR Accident 1996 (D30 Progressed 6L Saturn; Transit Mars 8th aspect); Indira Gandhi D5+Ghati Lagna Power/Loss

Six worked events. Marriage, Libra lagna 1971: the progressed 7th lord Mars is at 4°42′ Aquarius in Navamsa and transit Saturn — in the 7th of the natal Navamsa, with a 100% aspect on Upapada — is at 4°32′ Aquarius. Childbirth, Aquarius lagna 1976: progressed 5th lord Mercury at 15°14′ Leo in D7, transit Jupiter at 15°01′ Leo. The teacher’s own Virgo-lagna chart: progressed Saturn, 5th lord, at 7°11′ Aquarius in D7 with transit Moon and Mars on it when his daughter was born; and as 6th lord at 23°17′ Pisces in D30, aspected in transit by Moon and Mars, the two planets of his natal D30 8th house, at a car accident. Indira Gandhi: Saturn, giver of Simhasana Yoga and 10th lord from Ghati Lagna, progressed and read in D5 — aspected by transit Saturn (8th from Ghati Lagna in D5) when she lost power in 1977, and joined by transit Venus and the nodes (5th and 9th lords from Ghati Lagna) when she returned in 1980.

Example Chart (Leo Lagna 1963): House Sale Dec 2009 = Saturn-Saturn MD-AD (4L in 12H D4 = Displacement + A11 = Money Received); Best House Purchase Window = Sun Pratyantardasha Sep-Oct 2010 (A6 Lord in A4 in D4 = Loan+Purchase) + TP Moon Dasha (5L in 4H D4 + Jupiter+Argala on A4)

A man born in 1963 sold his house on 15 December 2009 and wants to know when in 2010 he will buy another. The birth time is first corrected by 2 min 35 s from the marriage date, using Rāhu–Venus and the Tithi Praveśa of the marriage year. In D-4 the sale falls in Saturn–Saturn: the 4th lord in the 12th, linked to A11 so that it is a sale for money, in the pratyantardaśā of the 8th lord Mercury. For the purchase the class weighs Venus against Sun pratyantardaśā and prefers Sun (owner of A6, placed in A4, in the 8th from lagna), 7 September – 31 October 2010. The 2010 Tithi Praveśa agrees: Moon daśā, with Moon in the 4th of D-4 beside the lagna lord and having argalā on A4. The class ends by reading the AK Saturn's sign in D-9, D-30, D-10 and D-20; the outcome of the prediction is not on the recording.

Cancer Patient (Taurus Lagna 1977, Rectified 3:24:36): Leo D9 Lagna = Saturn 7L in 7H (Marriage); Gulika <1° from Rasi Lagna + Rahu Aspect = Poison/Cancer Yoga; D30 Scorpio Lagna: Mercury 8L in 12H + Rahu = Hidden Chronic Disease; Rahu-Ketu (Maraka from Lagna+Moon) = June 2010 Critical; Middle Life (Longevity); Nidhana Shula Dasha Virgo → Libra

A 32-year-old man with fourth-stage lung cancer, given three to four months by his doctors, whose chart other astrologers had passed as safe. The birth time is first rectified to 3:24:36 AM (±14 seconds) by testing marriage, a daughter, the move abroad and the first job in Vimshottari on the Navamsa, Saptamsa, Chaturthamsa and Dasamsa, and again in each year's Tithi Pravesha chart. The disease is read in Trimshamsa: Scorpio rises, and the 8th lord Mercury sits there within 2° of Rahu, with Ketu and Gulika, in the 12th house by longitude. In the Rasi, Taurus lagna has Gulika within half a degree and Rahu's 98.7% aspect, with no benefic aspect to relieve it. The three longevity pairs give middle life. Rahu-Ketu antardasha from June 2010 to June 2011 is the maraka period, both from Lagna and from the Moon, with July 2010 the peak by the annual chart; Venus, the lagna lord, can give recovery from July 2011 if he survives.

Chartered Accountant (Leo Lagna 1971): D10 Sagittarius Lagna Rectification (7L Mercury in Lagna = Business; CPA=Mercury+Jupiter's Sign); Satapdika Dasha (Vargottama Lagna); Mars Dasha 1989-2009 = Business Partnership (A7 in Aries, Mars in 7H D10 by Bhava, Neecha Bhanga Raja Yoga); Saturn Broke Partnership Jan 2010 (12th from A7 + Badhaka)

A chartered accountant (Leo lagna, 1971) was in business for ten years, split from his partner in January–February 2010 and became CFO of a mining company. The class first repairs the birth time: the saved time gives Capricorn D-10, which does not make an accountant, so it is moved a few seconds back to Sagittarius D-10 with 7th and 10th lord Mercury in the lagna sign. The lagna is vargottama, so Satabdika daśā is used: Mars 1989–2009, Saturn from June 2009. Reading the D-10 by bhava, Mars is 5th lord in the 7th house, debilitated with nīcabhaṅga, and lord of A7 — the daśā of business and partnership. Saturn sits in the 12th from A7, is bādhaka lord from it and an enemy of Mars, so his daśā broke the partnership and took the native into service in a Saturnine industry.

Saturn Dasha Prognosis: Saturn in 1st from AL (AL in Pisces, D10) = Status Decline; Neecha Bhanga Saturn = Mixed (Not Terrible); Quantitative Aspects: Mars 97% on 11th from AL + Saturn 80% = Material Gains; 2012 Sun Pratyantar Good; 2012-2013 Moon Pratyantar (8L) = Career Fall; 2016-18 Mars Pratyantar = Return to Entrepreneurship

What the 30-year Saturn daśā holds for the same accountant, read in D-10. Saturn is a functional malefic (2nd and 3rd lord) in the 1st house from Arudha Lagna: the image falls. He is debilitated and retrograde with nīcabhaṅga, which for a functional malefic means a mixed period, not a terrible one. Jagannatha Hora’s quantified aspects show Mars 97% and Saturn 80% on the 11th from AL, so money still comes while status drops. Pratyantar timing inside Saturn–Saturn: Sun (first half of 2012) good, Moon as 8th lord (second half of 2012 to first half of 2013) a possible fall, Mars (2016–18) a possible new venture. Verdict: an okay move, not a great one; the Mars daśā was his best.

Chartered Accountant Case (1971, Continued): Mercury Pratyantara = 10L in 12H D10 + Rahu Transit on D10 Mercury = Bad Decision (Joined Mining Company, Resigned in 3 Months); A9+A5 in 12th from A11 = Accept Friend's Consulting Firm (Fortune from Friend); Saturn in 12th from A7 = Rajyoga for Partnership; AK Moon in Libra in D10; Subrahmanya Remedy (Mars+Ketu+Ashlesha)

A chartered accountant (Leo lagna, vargottama, so Śatābdikā daśā) joined a mining company in February 2010 and resigned on 15 May. A friend now offers him his 30-year-old consulting firm. Everything is read in the Daśāṁśa (lagna 29° Sagittarius), by longitude. The setback came in Saturn–Saturn–Mercury: Mercury is the 10th lord in the 12th, the 6th lord from Saturn, and transit Rāhu was passing over his Daśāṁśa longitude — the teacher's rule being that a transit on a daśā lord's natal position in any varga colours the period. Jupiter's pratyantara from 9 July is better. The friend's offer: the 12th from A11 is the friend giving something up; A9 and A5 fall there, on the 7th cusp, with Saturn's full aspect, so it brings fortune — accept. Partners: Saturn is in the 12th from A7, a rājayoga for A7, so partners are fine, formalized after 10 July. Saturn in the Ārūḍha Lagna means average, not spectacular, business. Then the day's verses are applied from the Ātmakāraka Moon in the Daśāṁśa, the Amātyakāraka Jupiter is judged, the 6th from him (Mars and Ketu) gives the purpose, and Mars with the nodes in Āśleṣā under Jupiter's exact aspect gives Subrahmaṇya as the deity.

Example Chart (Scorpio Lagna 1982): Marriage May 2006 (Rahu-Rahu-Jupiter = Rahu 7L in 7H D9; Tithi Pravesha Year: Exalted UL Lord Mercury in 7H of Its D9); D24 Education: BSc Computer Science 2004 (Mercury 91% on 9H + Rahu/Ketu on A9); MSc 2006 (D24 2nd House Mercury); D7 Critical Weaknesses: Jupiter Debilitated in 8H + Venus in 6H + Moon in 8H (Both Marana Karaka Sthana) + Saturn, Venus, Rahu on Lagna

A woman born in 1982 (Scorpio lagna 6°36′), married in May 2006 and unable to conceive. Before reading the Saptamsa the teacher tests the birth time. The marriage in Rahu–Rahu–Jupiter fits the Leo navamsa lagna (Rahu is 7th lord in the 7th; Jupiter is 7th lord from debilitated Venus), and the Tithi Pravesha of 2005 gives it in Mercury–Mercury, Mercury being the exalted Upapada lord in the 7th house of that year’s Navamsa. In D24 Mercury dominates the 9th house and A9, so the bachelor’s is in computer science; Mars–Venus, the 3rd and 2nd lords from A9, end it, which is completion and not harm. Mercury alone in the 2nd house continues the same subject for the master’s. Together these hold the time to 17 seconds later and 1.5 minutes earlier. The Saptamsa is then very weak: Jupiter debilitated in the 8th, the 5th lord Venus in the 6th house and the 2nd lord Moon in the 8th house, both Marana Karaka Sthana. Houses are counted from the lagna’s degree throughout.

Example Chart — Childbirth Best Window: Early 2016 Jan-Mar (Jupiter Stationary 29° Leo + Rahu 29° Leo, Both Aspecting Progressed Moon D7); Putrasahamam in the 2015 Tithi Pravesha D7 Has Mars 96%+Jupiter 85%; 40-50% Conception Probability; Moon 2nd Lord in 8H of D7 = Adoption More Probable; Santana Gopal + Vishnu Sahasranama 11x/Week for 2-3 Years

With a Saptamsa this weak, only the dasha can help. Rahu–Mercury (to March 2016) is preferred to Rahu–Saturn: Mercury is the D7 lagna lord and sits in the 9th house from Venus, the lord of the first child’s house. Of the Tithi Pravesha charts for 2013, 2014 and 2015, only 2015 is strong: its Saptamsa has the lagna, 5th and 9th lords all in own signs, and Putra Sahama there is aspected by Mars and Jupiter. The year’s own dashas point to January–March 2016. Transits for January 2016 add that Rahu, the dasha lord, aspects his own natal D7 position within a degree, and that Jupiter and Rahu at 29° Leo aspect the progressed Moon of the Vimshottari progression. But the Moon is the 2nd lord in the 8th house of the natal Saptamsa: an addition to the family, not a birth. The teacher gives a 40–50% chance of conceiving and suspects adoption. The remedy is Vishnu Sahasranama with the Santana Gopala mantra between the shlokas, 11 times on one day every week for two to three years.

Example Chart (1960) Rahu Dasha: 10L in 12H D10 (Career in Loss) + 8L D2 = Debt Cause; Rahu-Jupiter AD = Local Improvement (Jupiter 11L in Own Sign + D2 Rajyoga); Rahu-Saturn AD 2012-2015 = Major Career Improvement (Yogakaraka + Rahu Friend); A7 in 12th from Lagna = Foreign Business Angle; Durga Worship (1 hr/Friday) + Krishna Worship

Timing the same business through Vimshottari. It began in Mars daśā — 7th lord in the 3rd of D10. Rahu daśā (from September 2007) is the 10th lord placed, by degree, in the 12th house: a functionally neutral planet in A7 that keeps the business going without letting it flourish, and as 8th lord of D2 he brings the long debt. Rahu–Jupiter (May 2010 to October 2012) is better — Jupiter in own sign, 11th from A7, in a rāja yoga with the lagna lord in D2 — but Jupiter is Rahu's enemy, so the gain is modest. Rahu–Saturn (2012–15) is the yogakaraka and Rahu's friend, and is when the teacher expects the major improvement. Remedies: an hour of Durga worship every Friday for Rahu, which also covers health since Rahu is a māraka in lagna; Krishna worship from the 6th from Amatyakaraka for clarity of mission.

Job-Seeker US (Nov 1985): Cancer D4 Lagna (Not Libra) Keeps D10 Lagna in Leo — Verified by Jupiter-Saturn-Mercury Foreign Journey (9L in 12H, 7L+12L in 7H); D24 Mars in Moolatrikona 9H = Electronics Engineering; D10 Jupiter-Ketu Rajyoga in 7H = Independent Contractor; First Job Window Sep-Oct (Sun Pratyantar = Lagna Lord + 10L from Mercury); Aditya Hridayam Remedy

A student’s younger brother has finished a master’s in the US and wants his first job. His lagna is 14°56′, eleven seconds short of the 15° border where every even divisional chart changes sign, so the teacher first tests the D-4 lagna against the date he went abroad: with Cancer, the Jupiter, Saturn and Mercury periods all tie to the 7th, 9th and 12th; with Libra they do not. That keeps the D-10 lagna in Leo. D-24 is then checked: Mars in mūlatrikoṇa with Mercury in the 9th house gives electronics, and A2 under Mercury and Rahu gives a master’s in computer science with electronics. In D-10 the Jupiter–Ketu Rāja Yoga in the 7th and the lagna lord in the 3rd show a man who will end up contracting, not in permanent service. The first job is timed from the 5th house and lagna: the Sun’s pratyantardaśā from September 5 to October 17, backed by Venus’s period of the Tithi Praveśa year up to September 24, with Āditya Hṛdayam as the remedy.

Health Case: Venus 87.9% Aspect on Lagna = Kapha-Vāta (75–80% Kapha); Rahu in 12H; Jupiter Daśā = Upper-Body Problems; Sadāśiva + Tryambakam Mantra. Praśna on a Mother's Health: Fine in the Long Run. Student Chart (1961): Sun Daśā 2013–2019 = Average Era; Mercury = Māraka; Hospitalization Needs a 12th-House Link

Three readings from the second half of the class. A health question on a 9:35 PM chart whose date is lost: Rahu in the 12th, Venus with an 87.9% aspect on the lagna and Jupiter beside it give a kapha-vāta constitution (75–80% kapha); problems fall in Jupiter daśā in the upper body; the remedy is Sadāśiva and the Tryambakam mantra; one planet is weighed as 9th lord in the rāśi and as a māraka in the divisional charts. A praśna on a student's mother: she will be fine in the long run, and the querent may travel. Then the student's own chart of 1961: Sun daśā 2013–2019 is an average era, Mercury is a māraka, and hospitalization needs a 12th-house link.

Graha Pravesh Muhurta: Real Intention Required (Cannot Cheat Cosmos); Always Lagna+4H Strong; Target House by Desire (9H=dharma, 7H=marriage, 5H=children, 10H=career); Movable=Short Stay, Fixed=Long, Dual=Medium; Abhijit=Sun in 10H Compensates All; Shairam Raksha=Jupiter in Lagna Compensates All; Jan 11 2011 Muhurta: Pisces Lagna+Moon+Jupiter=Gajakesari+Mars Exalted 11H

A Griha Pravesha muhurta worked out live for a student couple. Griha Pravesha is entering with the intention of living there; a ceremony in an unfinished house does not count. Lagna and the 4th house must always be strong, then the house of whatever the family wants there (9th dharma, 7th marriage, 5th children, 10th career). Lagna, Moon and their lords in movable, fixed or dual signs show a short, very long or 5–10 year stay. The class then walks the dates from 30 December to 11 January 2011, 10:18 AM — Pisces lagna with Moon and Jupiter, Sun vargottama in the 10th, 9th lord Mars exalted in the 11th, Leo navamsa with Jupiter rising — and fixes what to do in the five-minute window and which homams cover the chart’s weaknesses.

Engineering Dropout (Taurus Lagna 1992): D1 4L Sun in 12H Enemy Sign = Weak Education Base; D24 Mercury-Sun AD = Dropout (Sun = 7L Maraka from 9H, Enemy of 9L Saturn); D10 Venus+Mercury Rajyoga in 10H = Entertainment Career (Fame 2027-2047 Venus Dasha); D20 Jupiter Exalted+9L Venus in 8H = Does Not Follow Customs; Lakshmi Stotram 8x + Vishnu Sahasranama Daily

A school topper fails every subject in first-year engineering and drops out; the parents ask whether to send him back. In the rāśi chart the 4th lord Sun is in the 12th in his worst enemy’s sign, so education is weak, while 10th lord Saturn in own sign in the 9th keeps the career sound. The D-24 lagna is fixed as Gemini from the events: he entered in Mercury–Venus–Mercury and dropped out in Mercury–Sun, the Sun being the 7th lord from the 9th house, inimical to 9th lord Saturn, and a maraka from A9. In D-10 the 2nd lord Mercury and the exalted lagna-and-6th lord Venus sit together in the 10th in Īśāna aṁśa, so the career comes from them — entertainment, media, perhaps religious media — with fame in Venus daśā, 2027–2047. Sun–Saturn in D-10 show activism without power; the remedy is Lakṣmī stotra and Viṣṇu Sahasranāma daily. The teacher counts houses from the lagna degree here, so the site’s whole-sign chart shows several of these planets one house later.

Example Chart (Virgo Lagna 1966): D10 Sun+Saturn Within 1° in 12H = Terrible Dashamsha; 10 Jobs in Career; Saturn AD = Depression Onset (Moon-Saturn Together in D30 = Depression Prone); Best: Jupiter-Venus AD = Business + Human Interaction (Landscaping/Agriculture); Āditya Hṛdayam 3x Daily

A Virgo-lagna native with an M.Sc. in agriculture, about ten jobs and five years without one. In the rāśi chart the 10th lord Mercury is in the 2nd, 4° from Ketu, the 3rd lord — the 6th lord counted from the 10th. In the D-10 (Scorpio lagna, houses counted from the lagna degree) the 10th lord Sun is in the 12th, his maraṇa kāraka sthāna, less than 1° from Saturn, the malefic 3rd and 4th lord: "a terrible, terrible daśāṁśa". With no planet in the 10th and a weak lord, the field is read from the strongest aspects on the 10th — Venus 99% from Aquarius and Saturn 89% — giving a small own business in decorative plants, herbs or landscaping, with Jupiter–Venus as the good period. The depression is read from D-30, where Moon and Saturn share Taurus and Jupiter is a malefic from lagna and from Moon; it came in Jupiter–Saturn. Remedy: Āditya Hṛdayam three times a day and a simple Sūrya mantra, because Sun is the planet being hammered.

D16 Vehicular Accident: Venus in 12th from A4 in TP D16 = Vehicle Loss; Venus (Maraka) Aspected by 6H Jupiter + 8L Mars in TP D16 = Accident; Surya Siddhanta TP: Venus+Sun (8L+6L) in 12H; Amshatujya Amsha: Compare Planet Across Two Vargas; 6-8 = Mutual Undermining; Trine = Amplification; Same Period: D30 Venus 6th from D16 Venus = Accident + D9 Venus 9th from D16 Venus = New Vehicle

A car is totalled on October 12, 2010; the native has minor injuries and gets a new car in the same period. Natal D-16: the antardaśā lord Rāhu owns the 8th and sits in the 6th by longitude. The 2010 Tithi Praveśa chart: in its D-16 (Aries lagna) the annual daśā lord Venus is the māraka, aspected by Jupiter from the 6th house and by the 8th lord Mars, in the 12th from A4 yet a yogakāraka from it; in its D-30 he is the bādhaka lord with the nodes. The teacher then shows the same year under Surya Siddhanta, where the D-16 lagna becomes Pisces, and explains why he is testing that model without concluding. Last comes the technique of comparing one planet across two vargas: D-30 Venus in the 6th from D-16 Venus gives the loss, D-9 Venus in the 9th from it gives the new car. The same method is applied to the teacher’s own layoff and new job in 2002.

1953 Chart (Cancer Lagna): Saturn Exalted D10 = Neutral; Mercury AD = Safe; Ketu AD = Break Risk; TP 2011 Aug-Feb = Risky Window; Lalitha Worship. 1969 Chart (Libra Lagna, Aquarius D10): Jupiter MD = Debilitated 12H D10 = Average Career Until 2018; Venus AD = Bhadaka in 10H; Saturn Dasha 2018=D10 Lagna Lord in 7H+Rasi Yogakaraka=Business; Return India in 2011-2012

Two career readings done the same way: the natal D10 and Vimshottari give the possibility, the Tithi Pravesha D10 gives the months. A man born in 1953 fears the next round of layoffs. In his Virgo D10 Saturn is the exalted 5th and 6th lord with the lagna lord Mercury, so Saturn dasha is neutral and Mercury antardasha cannot take the job; Ketu antardasha from May 2011, the 3rd lord with the 7th lord, can give a break. The 2010 annual chart is good; the 2011 one, read from the 6th house Leo as lagna, has maraka after maraka, and August 21, 2011 to February 28, 2012 is the dangerous stretch. A man born in 1969, out of work in the UK, runs Jupiter dasha: for his Aquarius D10 Jupiter is a functional malefic, debilitated in the 12th, so the career stays average until 2018. Saturn, lagna lord of D10 in the 7th and yogakaraka of his Libra rasi lagna, promises business after that. His D4 shows the exalted 5th lord Venus bringing him back to the motherland, best at the end of 2011 or in mid-2012.

Bank Manager (Scorpio 1963): 9L+10L in 10H = Career Raj Yoga; Sun Digbala 10H = Authority; D10 Mercury 97.8% on A10 = Banking Environment; Jupiter 87% on A10 = Large Financial Transactions; Rahu Dasha = Career Pressure (2L in 2H from 6H of D10 = Maraka for Service); TP: Short-Term Tremors Not Earthquake; Resolution by Late February; Ruby Middle Finger (Artha Finger) for Career

A bank branch manager (Scorpio lagna, 1963) is threatened with a police complaint by a client over a gold sale. The class first confirms the career: 9th lord Moon and 10th lord Sun in the 10th in Rāśi; in D-10 Sun as lagna lord with Saturn in the 10th, 10th lord Venus with Jupiter in a sign of Mercury, and Mercury's 97.8% aspect on A10 — the 10th lord shows how she works, A10 the tangible place she works in. Then the scope of the event is fixed: Rahu daśā is a māraka for service (2nd lord in the 2nd from the 6th of D-10), the Rahu–Rahu–Moon pratyantardaśā brings loss of peace, but neither it nor the coming Mars period unseats her. The Tithi Praveśa chart of October 2010 shows a rough year with lagna lord Mars in the lagna of D-10 as saviour, and relief through the Sun, Moon and Mars periods. She keeps her ruby — judged from the natal chart, worn best on the middle (artha) finger — and worships Durgā for Rahu in the 8th.

Biotech Student (1990): D24 Scorpio Lagna (3m47s Earlier = Moon-Mars Raj Yoga in Lagna vs Weak Sagittarius); Rahu 12th from A9 = Raj Yoga for Bachelor's; Venus Pratyantardasha Obstacle for Master's (6L from 2H); Sun Pratyantardasha Jan-Mar = Master's Restart; D10 Guru Chandala Yoga = Unconventional Biotech Research; Jupiter Dasha 2017=Great Career; Lakshmi+Durga Remedy

A biotechnology graduate (born 1990), top of his class, has quit his first job after a month, had his master's admission abroad pushed back a semester, and talks of going home. The D-24 lagna is Sagittarius at the recorded time, Capricorn 25 seconds later and Scorpio 3 minutes 47 seconds earlier; only Scorpio explains him, with lagna lord Mars and 9th lord Moon together in the 1st house. Rahu daśā gave the bachelor's degree: 9th lord Moon aspects Rahu and Rahu is in the 12th from A9, a rāja yoga for that ārūḍha. The master's is read from the 2nd house taken as lagna — Venus, its 6th lord closely aspecting its lord Jupiter, delayed it, and the Sun pratyantardaśā of January–March restarts it. In D-10 (Pisces lagna) Venus antardaśā spoils the career and Jupiter daśā from 2017 makes it; Jupiter with Rahu and 8th lord Venus in Capricorn points to unconventional research. Advice: stay abroad, study through Rahu daśā, worship Lakṣmī and Durgā.

Elderly Man (1931): D30 Saturn Exalted 8H + Gulika+Mars in 8H = "Exalted at Favorite Party"; Mercury MD = 8L D1 + 7L D30 = Maraka; Rahu AD 2011-2013 = Surgery Risk; Saturn AD ~2015-2018 = Maximum Risk; D20 Mercury = 9L+12L = Dharma+Moksha Dasha; Hard on the Body, Good for Sadhana; Vishnu Sahasranama

A 79-year-old man (Scorpio lagna, born 1931) hospitalised again and again in the middle of Mercury daśā. Rāśi: Mercury is the 8th lord of chronic disease placed in the 9th, the bādhaka sthāna — a link between the 6th or 8th lord and the bādhaka sthāna is bad for health. Triṁśāṁśa (Pisces lagna): Mercury is 7th lord and bādhaka lord, and the 8th house, Libra — kidneys and the urinary system — holds Mars with an exalted Saturn who is 11th and 12th lord: "at his favourite party", and the one who wants to trouble you. The antardaśās are read from D-30 and D-6: Mars gives no relief, Rāhu on the lagna brings surgery in March 2011 – September 2013, Jupiter some relief, and Saturn — 3rd lord in the 2nd, 7th and 8th lord from Mercury — is the māraka period of 2015–2018. In the Viṁśāṁśa (Libra lagna) the same Mercury is 9th and 12th lord, so the daśā that is hard on the body is the one for sādhana; the remedy is Viṣṇu Sahasranāma. The class closes by testing the birth time against his career in the D-10: exalted Sun for political office, Mars in the 6th for land.

Pharmacology Graduate (1987): D10 Saturn Moolatrikona 2H = Career Read From the 2nd House; AmK in 2H D10 = Work Is a Mission; Saturn(Sick People)+Rahu(Research/High-Tech) = Pharmaceutical Research; D24 Moon 87% on A2 = Medicine/Healing Field Confirmed; First Job: Mercury-Venus AD May 2011 + TP Jupiter Period Apr-Jun = High Probability Window; Vishnu Sahasranama + Saturn 16 Names

A pharmacology graduate (born 1987, master's finished) is looking for his first research job. In the D-10 (Capricorn lagna) the 10th is empty and the 6th is weak, while the 2nd holds Saturn — lagna lord, 2nd lord, in mūlatrikoṇa and the Amātyakāraka — so the career is read from the 2nd house: the work is defined by the resources he has access to. A strong Saturn is not routine work but the hard worker in a lab; Saturn brings sick and suffering people, and the co-lord Rāhu research and modern technology, which fits pharmaceutical trials. For a first job the house is the 5th: Mercury–Ketu has no link with it, Mercury–Venus (yogakāraka, 5th lord in the 5th) begins about May 5, 2011. The Tithi Praveśa of 2010 confirms it — the Hora lord Jupiter is the lagna lord of the annual D-10 in the 11th aspecting the 5th, and his period runs April 6 – June 7. The D-24 shows why both degrees are in pharmaceuticals (the Moon has an 87% aspect on A2 and sits with the lord of A9), and the remedy is worship of Saturn with Viṣṇu Sahasranāma.

PVNR Surya Siddhanta Switch: Nadi Granthas Use It; Varahamihira Used It; Divisional Charts Can Shift 1-2 Signs; Higher Signal-to-Noise Ratio. Char Dasha in Divisional Charts: Treat Division as Rasi, Calculate Char Dasha from Divisional Lagna; Transit from Char Dasha Sign as Lagna; Bhoga Rashi = Arudha of Dasha Sign; Multiple Confirmation (Char+Vimshottari+Transit) = Certain Event

The teacher moves the class from Drik (modern, NASA-model) positions to Surya Siddhanta. His reasons: the old tradition revered it, Nadi readings match its positions, Varahamihira praised it. He calls this circumstantial evidence, not proof, and says he is still not fully convinced. The rāśi chart barely changes; divisional charts shift by a sign or two. Tithi Pravesha works as before, Tajika works better, and two ideas he had junked begin to work: Vimshottari and Char Dasha computed inside a divisional chart. The page gives the method: Parashara’s Char Dasha from the divisional lagna, transits read from the dasha sign and from its bhoga rāśi, both dashas agreeing before an event. It ends with his rules of honest research: demand simple explanations, test on past events, and follow Parashara over the riddles of Jaimini.

PVNR's Own Life — Divisional Char Dasha Validated: D24 Pisces Dasha=Exalted Venus=State First+IIT; D9 Scorpio Dasha=7L Mars in 7H=Marriage 1993; D10 Aquarius(6H)=Career Start 1993; D10 Aries(8H)=5 Jobs in 4 Years; D10 Taurus(9H)=Manager 2008; D20 Sagittarius(8H)=Kundalini 2005; 8L+Nodes in 8H in D20=Sarala Yoga; Tajika 6L+8L in 8H=Spiritual Awakening

The teacher tests divisional Char Dasha and divisional Vimshottari on dated events of his own life, with Surya Siddhanta positions. Marriage, 1 August 1993: D-9 Scorpio Char Dasha, the 7th house holding the 7th lord, in Saturn–Mars. State First and IIT in 1987: D-24 Pisces Char Dasha with exalted Venus and Jupiter transiting Pisces, in the dasha of lagna lord Mercury in the 5th. First job, December 1993: D-10 Aquarius, the 6th house, with five planets transiting the 10th from it. Five jobs and a layoff: D-10 Aries, the 8th. Promotion in 2008: D-10 Taurus, the 9th. Kuṇḍalinī awakening, June 2005: D-20 Sagittarius, the 8th house with its lord and the nodes, with Jupiter and Ketu transiting the bhoga rāśi. The Tajika annual charts of 1993, 2002 and 2005 are read for the same events. The site’s chart uses modern positions, so several of these placements show one sign away; the notes list them.

Example Chart — 1989 D24: Leo Lagna (All 3 Trine Lords in Mutual Trine=Top Student) vs Cancer Rejected; 9H Saturn=Obstacles; Mars+Sun in Virgo=Applied Physics (Mercury/Dispositor Dominates Over Surgery); Master's 2H=Raj Yoga (Sun+Mars=1L+9L Together); Scorpio Char Dasha=Direction Confusion (Nodes in 4H); D10 Venus Yogakaraka+Jupiter=Teaching; Venus Dasha 2018=Guaranteed Career Success

A student brings the chart of a top student (born 1989, Taurus lagna) who is finishing degrees in mathematics and applied physics after failing to get into medicine, and asks what the master's should be. The teacher rectifies D-24 between Cancer and Leo, reads the bachelor's from the 9th house and the master's from the 2nd, and explains the confusion by the nodes in Scorpio, the 4th house and the running Chara daśā. Annual charts of 2006, 2011 and 2012 time the setback and the expected break; D-10 shows teaching, with a case for medicine. Transits are read from the Chara daśā sign, the remedy is taken from the D-24 daśā, and Venus daśā and Libra Chara daśā of D-10 both start in 2018. The class uses Surya Siddhanta positions, so several D-24 placements differ on the site's chart.

Sub-Divisional Charts (Dm×Dn): D24×D9=Education Blessings, D24×D30=Education Evils, D24×D10=Work Application of Education; Use Planetary Positions Only (NOT Sub-Division Lagna); Research in Progress with Surya Siddhanta; PVNR's Own D24×D10=Moon-Jupiter in 2H=Work in Astrology; D20×D9=Saturn in 9H=Disciplined Spiritual Work

A further division taken inside a divisional chart: D-24 × D-9 for fortune in education, D-24 × D-30 for its evils, D-24 × D-10 for knowledge put to work. The teacher calls it research still in progress. Use only the planets — their strength in the sub-chart and the sign they fall in, laid over the houses of the parent chart — never the sub-chart's lagna, which changes every few seconds. He shows it on the student's D-24 and on his own D-24 × D-10 and D-20 × D-9.

Example Chart — 1984 (Virgo Lagna): D9 Leo Lagna Jupiter MD+Saturn AD=Marriage Aug 2007 (Saturn=7L in 7H=Own Sign; From 7H Perspective=Lagna Lord in Lagna=Auspicious); D9 Scorpio Char Dasha=Mars-Venus Parivartana from Scorpio; Tajika 2007=Mercury(7L)-Ketu(in 7H) Antardasha; D4 Pisces Char Dasha=9L in 12H=Going Abroad Dec 2007; D24 Rahu MD+Moon(5L) AD=MCA Degree Mid-2008

One chart is tested varga by varga against known events before any prediction is made. Marriage (Aug 26, 2007) fell in D9 Jupiter Mahadasha, Saturn Antardasha: Jupiter is 5th lord with the lagna lord in Leo lagna, Saturn is 7th lord in the 7th. Saturn is not a benefic for Leo lagna, and the teacher answers that objection: judge a planet from lagna and also from the house of interest, where Saturn is lagna lord in lagna. The D9 Char Dasha (Scorpio: lagna lord and 7th lord exchange) and the 2007 Tajika Navamsa (Mercury–Ketu period) agree. Going abroad (Dec 22, 2007) is read from D4 — Rahu–Rahu, Pisces Char Dasha — and the MCA degree from D24, where Rahu–Moon only makes sense with Pisces lagna, which moves the birth time to 11:31:45.

Example Chart — D7 Leo Lagna: Mars Yogakaraka(9L in Moolatrikona)+Jupiter(5L) = Best Planets for Children; Jupiter MD from April 2011=Strong Candidate; Capricorn Char Dasha=Lord in Own Sign+Exalted Moon in 5H; Tajika 2010=Jupiter(5L) in Lagna+Mars(LL) in 5H=Parivartana=Most Powerful Child Yoga; Confirmed: Conception March 2011; Delivery Aug-Sep 2011; Male Child Prediction

The D7 is read for the timing of children. With Leo lagna, Jupiter (5th lord in own sign) and Mars (yogakaraka in the 9th) are the planets that can give children, the Sun aspects lagna as lagna lord, and Venus is the spoiler. D7 Vimshottari: Rahu until April 2011 gives hardly any chance; Jupiter–Jupiter, to May 2013, a very strong one. The Capricorn Char Dasha has its lord in it and the exalted Moon in its 5th, and the transit rule for the dasha sign lord is given. The annual charts are then compared: the 2011 Tajika D7 points to April–May 2012 through Mars, but on hearing that she was already in her third month the teacher opens the 2010 chart, finds lagna lord Mars and 5th lord Jupiter exchanged, and guesses the birth will come before July 22, 2011. The lesson ends with the male-child rule and the suggestion of Shiva worship.

Char Dasha 4-Factor Framework: (1)Natal from Dasha Sign, (2)Dasha Sign as Lagna, (3)Transit at Event, (4)Transit at Dasha Start; Co-Lord Rule (Scorpio/Aquarius); 360-Tithi Year for ALL Nakshatra Dashas (Mandukya Upanishad+Mahabharata+Moon Logic); Two Reference Frames (Lagna=Overall Quality; House of Interest=Event Capability); Rahu/Ketu NOT Maraka

The working rules stated in this class. A Char Dasha is judged on two natal parameters (the dasha sign as it stands in the chart, and the chart with the dasha sign as lagna) and two transit parameters (at the event and at dasha pravesha); its antardashas are not used. For Aquarius and Scorpio, if one co-lord is in the sign the other is taken for the calculation, yet the one in the sign still blesses the house. All nakshatra dashas are run on a year of 360 tithis, with the reasons: experiment, the Moon basis, the 116-year longevity of Kali Yuga, and the Pandavas' count of their exile. A planet's functional nature is read from lagna and also from the house of interest. Maraka: the 2nd and 7th lords and malefics afflicting those houses — a benefic 2nd lord included, benefic nodes in the 2nd excluded.

Example Chart — D9 Marriage Aug 1998: Moon MD + Jupiter AD = Moon-Mars-Sun Raj Yoga in 9H; Key Rule: Dispositor (Jupiter=Owner of Sagittarius) is Best AD to Deliver Raj Yoga When Benefic+Strong; Jupiter Special Aspect on Venus(7L). D4 Libra Char Dasha(7H=Foreign) + Saturn MD(Bhadaka) = Going Abroad; May 2011 Transit (4 Planets in Aries=7th from Libra) = High Probability Window

The cardiologist's marriage on 27 August 1998 came in Moon daśā, Jupiter antardaśā of the navāṁśa Viṁśottarī. Moon is only a neutral 4th lord, but he is in the 9th with lagna lord Mars and 5th lord Sun: two benefics and a neutral make a good yoga. Jupiter gave it rather than the Sun because he is the dispositor of the whole yoga, a functional benefic in a friendly sign, and he aspects the 7th lord Venus with his three-quarter aspect. The class sets this against the old habit of finding a reason for every planet, and returns to Parāśara: a śubha event needs a śubha graha tied to the 7th. The navāṁśa chara daśā was Leo — aspected by the 7th lord, and with lagna lord, yogakāraka and 7th lord together in its 5th — with Sun and Rāhu transiting Leo. In the caturthāṁśa, Saturn daśā links the 7th, 9th, 12th and bādhaka, but as a functional malefic he gives visits, not settlement; Libra chara daśā and the Aries transit of May 2011 time the move, and Saturn in the 10th of both D-4 and D-10 ties it to research.

Example Chart — Woman (1973): D4 Gemini Char Dasha = Saturn(12L)+Rahu(12L) in Sign = Going Abroad; D9 Saturn+Rahu = 7th House Lords; Same Planets = D4 Foreign + D9 Marriage = Went Abroad FOR Marriage. D4×D9 Sub-Divisional = Blessings in Residence Area. KEY: Positive Events Require Functional Benefic; Papa Graha Spoils Houses They Touch; Marriage Requires Shubha Graha Activation

The 7th house of the caturthāṁśa can mean travel because of marriage, but only a link with the 7th of the navāṁśa lets one say so. The example is a woman who married on 24 January 1999 and was in the US within a week. In her D-4 the chara daśā is Gemini, holding the 12th lords Saturn and Rāhu and aspected from Sagittarius by the 9th lords Mars and Ketu; the D-4 Viṁśottarī is Saturn–Mars. In her D-9 the same planets are the 7th lords (Saturn, Rāhu) and the occupants of the 7th (yogakāraka Mars with Ketu): she went abroad because of marriage. The class then introduces D-4/D-9, the navāṁśa of the caturthāṁśa — blessings in the area of residence — where the navāṁśas of Saturn and Mars both aspect the 12th of the D-4 and flank the daśā sign; the teacher marks this as research, not Parāśara. The page closes with the rules of the class: śubha graha for a śubha event, pāpa grahas ruin the houses they touch, and a functional malefic in the D-4 gives visits, not settlement.

Amsa-Amsa Principle: Navamsa Within Any Divisional Chart = Blessings in That Life Area (D81=D9ofD9, D108=D9ofD12, D144=D9ofD16); Nakshatra Dasha Selection: ONLY Moon Hora+Sukla Paksha=Vimshottari; All Others=Shodashottari; Hora Determination: Male Sign(1st Half=Surya, 2nd Half=Chandra); Female Sign(1st Half=Chandra, 2nd Half=Surya)

Parashara lists every divisional chart but later speaks mostly of rasi and navamsa. The teacher reads that as rasi and navamsa with respect to every divisional chart: take the divisional chart as the rasi and find its navamsa from the divisional longitudes. That is how a vargottama lagna is judged inside a D10 or D9. The page then gives the procedure for choosing the nakshatra dasha of a divisional chart. Special conditions are checked first, by longitude and with a planet strong enough to carry them. Otherwise the hora of the lagna and the paksha decide, following Lomasha: Chandra hora with Sukla paksha gives regular Vimshottari, Surya hora with Krishna paksha gives Vimshottari counted from Ardra, and the other two combinations give Shodashottari.

Vivekananda (Sagittarius Lagna): D10 Scorpio Raj Yoga(Jupiter+Moon+Venus=5L+10L)+AL+A5=Fame Yoga; Ketu(11H from AL=Dispositor of Raj Yoga Sign)=Chicago 1893 Fame in His Dasha; D20 Moon(7L in 9H)=Ramakrishna Meeting; Mercury(Malefic in 8H from A9)=Guru's Death; D9 Two Malefics in 7H=No Marriage; AK in D20: Rahu in Martial Sign=Kali/Durga Deity

Swami Vivekananda (12 January 1863, 6:33 AM local mean time, Calcutta; Sagittarius lagna) read through three divisional charts, each with its own nakshatra dasha. D10: Jupiter (5th lord), Venus (10th lord) and Moon in Scorpio give Gajakesari and a raja yoga on the same sign as AL and A5; Ketu, stronger lord of Scorpio and placed in the 11th from AL, gave the Chicago fame of September 1893 in his Shodashottari dasha (1888–1903). D20: Moon dasha (1868–1884) brought Ramakrishna — Moon is 7th lord in the 9th and lord of A9, with exalted Jupiter on A9; Mercury, a functional malefic in the 8th from A9, took the tangible guru away in August 1886. The upasana deity is read from the atmakaraka Sun in D20: Rahu in a martial sign shows Durga or Kali. D9: Saturn and Mercury, 3rd and 8th lords, in the 7th deny marriage, and the Upapada with Ketu bears fruit as giving to disciples and an order. The class uses a calculation option that shifts several divisional placements from a standard ephemeris.

Example Chart — D9: Saturn Yogakaraka=Marriage Feb 2007 (Saturn MD+AD); Ketu(A8 Lord in 11H from A8)=Divorce 2008; Saturn+Mercury=12L+8L from UL=Double Divorce Activator; Saturn/Rahu in 12H from Arudha PROMOTES It; Venus AD 2012=Best Marriage Candidate (Yogakaraka+Lagna Lord); UL Lord in UL Itself=Very Determined to Marry; Prashna July 2011=Venus Combust+Saturn Opposing UL=Not This Year

A marriage case worked from the navamsa and its arudhas. The native married in February 2007, separated in March 2008 and was divorced in January 2009, and asks when he will marry again. The recorded time is moved three minutes so that the D9 lagna is vargottama and the dasha for a vargottama lagna applies; marriage and break then both fall in Saturn dasha, Saturn antardasha. Saturn, yogakaraka and dispositor of the 7th lord, gives the marriage; the same Saturn with Mercury is the 12th and 8th lord from UL and sits in the 12th from A8, which gives the break. The annual navamsa charts of 2006 and 2007 confirm both events, the second through Ketu, a lord of A8 placed in the 11th from A8. A prashna of 11 July 2011 shows delay (combust Venus in the 7th, Saturn in the UL), and the 2012 annual navamsa with the natal Venus antardasha points to August–September 2012. Remedies, the 7th from Venus for the wife, and the D7 for children close the reading.

Example Chart — D9 (1981): Krishna Paksha+Surya Hora=Shodashottari (NOT Vimshottari); Venus MD=Yogakaraka in 2H+5L=Marriage Conducive; Warning: Sun(8L in 9H Afflicted by Ketu) AD in 2013=Problems; Saturn Debil+Neecha Bhanga Aspects Lagna=Strong Despite Weakness; Prediction: Marry Before March 2013

A woman born in 1981 cannot find a match; the question is when she will marry. The Navamsa has Capricorn rising: the lagna lord Saturn is debilitated but has neecha bhanga and aspects his own sign, the 7th lord Moon is in the 12th (the 6th from the 7th), and the weak point is the 8th lord Sun within 2½° of the badhaka lord Ketu in the 3rd house, which is the 9th from the 7th — the fortune of the marriage. The page then shows why Shodashottari and not Vimshottari is the dasha to use: the Navamsa lagna is in Chandra hora and the birth is in Krishna paksha. Shodashottari of the Navamsa gives Venus–Venus now, and Venus is the yogakaraka and 5th lord in the 2nd, so the teacher expects marriage before March 2013 and warns of tension in 2013–14 when the Sun antardasha runs.

Example Chart (1989) D10: Shodashottari Doesn't Explain June 2011 Job; Leo Char Dasha(5H=Raj Yoga+Yogakaraka Mars in Lagna From Leo)=Job; Transit From Leo=Jupiter in 9H+Venus+Mars in 10H=Career Trigger; Mercury Exalted 6H=Harsha Yoga+Nirriti Dashamsa=Cutting-Edge Software; Moon as Lagna Reference: When Dasha Conditions Fail, Try Chandra Lagna

A man born in 1989 joined as a software engineer on June 26, 2011. His Dasamsa (Aries lagna) shows the career — 6th lord Mercury exalted in the 6th, in Nirriti's dasamsa — but the dashas chosen from the lagna do not show the job: Shodashottari gives Ketu–Ketu, the 8th lord in the 7th, and Vimshottari gives Venus–Mercury. Chara dasha does explain it: Leo holds a raja yoga, and on the day Jupiter is in the 9th from Leo and Venus and Mars are in the 10th. The teacher then applies the dasha conditions from Chandra lagna, which is stronger here: Dwadasottari gives Mercury–Saturn and Ashtottari from Ardra gives Mercury–Mercury; the thumb rule is to apply the conditions from the stronger of lagna and Moon and to test the contenders on known events. The page closes with the same native's degrees of May 2011, used to rectify the Siddhamsa lagna to Libra.

Example Chart (1980): D10 Aquarius Lagna=Mars(10L in 11H+Raj Yoga)=Career Recognition; D9 Virgo Lagna=Jupiter+Mercury Raj Yoga(1L+7L in 10H); BUT Mars=8L+Moon+Rahu in 8H=Marriage Anxiety (From Multiple References); Antardasha: Ketu(Trine to 7L+Friendly Sign)=Best Marriage Candidate; Venus(9L+7L From Moon)=Also Candidate; 8L Mahadasha Rule

A woman born in 1980 with the lagna at 29°46' Virgo is doing very well as a software engineer but her marriage keeps falling through. The D-10 lagna is Aquarius or Libra depending on one minute of birth time; the running D-10 Mars daśā settles it, because from Aquarius Mars is the 10th lord in the 11th in mutual aspect with the 5th lord Mercury in own sign, and he touches the 10th and 5th from Sun and Moon too. In the Navāṁśa the same Mars is the 8th lord, tied to the 8th house from lagna, Sun and Moon and barely to the 7th, with Moon and Rāhu sitting in the 8th: anxiety and tension, not a smooth marriage, and the Rāhu daśā after it is no better. The page then weighs the antardaśā lords — Mercury, Ketu (7th from Moon, in trine to both 7th lords, taking the trinal aspect some versions of BPHS give the nodes) and Venus — and checks the Tājaka annual chart, which points to January–February 2012.

Example Chart — D9 Char Dasha: Aquarius(6H)+Saturn Exalted in 9H from It=Good Results; Key Rule: Char Dasha Lord Transiting 9H from Dasha Sign=Conducive; Pisces Char Dasha(7H)=Better for Marriage; Ashtottari(10L in 10H)=Conditional Dasha Adds Hope; Remedies: Subramanya(Mars-Rahu Obstacle), Srinivasa Mangapuram Kalyanam(Mercury=Srinivasa Energy), Durga for Sustaining Marriage

The same marriage question is taken through the Chara daśā of the Navāṁśa, read simply: what house the daśā sign is, how its lord is placed, and the chart from that sign. Aquarius, running until May 2012, is only the 6th house, and Pisces after it is the 7th and better; but the lord of the daśā sign transiting the daśā sign, aspecting it, exalted or in own sign makes a daśā give very good results, and Saturn is exalted in Libra, the 9th from Aquarius, in February 2012. The conditional daśā that applies in this Navāṁśa is Chaturaśīti-sama (10th lord in the 10th), not Aṣṭottarī, and its Mercury–Mercury period adds some hope. The remedies follow from the chart: Subrahmaṇya to get married, because Mars the 8th lord and Rāhu obstruct; Durgā afterwards to keep the marriage, because Moon–Rāhu is there for life; and a Śrīnivāsa Kalyāṇam at Śrīnivāsa Maṅgāpuram, because Mercury is the key planet of the Navāṁśa. The teacher puts the odds at 30–70 or 40–60.

Example Chart (1974): D9 Rahu Dasha=Marriage Feb 2002 (Rahu Linked 7H From 3 References); D7 Jupiter MD+Saturn AD=Child Nov 2007 (Saturn Stronger: In 5H From Lagna+Aspects 5H From Moon); Child's D12 Rahu Dasha=Father Losses(Rahu in 12H From Cancer Reference); D10 Jupiter(3L+6L=Malefic in 12H)=Career Instability; Mercury(9L in Own Sign)=AD Recovery Soon

A man born in 1974 married in February 2002, had a son in November 2007 after a long wait, and has had an unstable career ever since. The two known events are checked first: Rāhu gave the marriage because he links with the 7th from lagna, Moon and Sun in the Navāṁśa; and the child came in Jupiter–Saturn, not Jupiter–Jupiter, because in the Saptāṁśa Saturn sits in the 5th from lagna and aspects the 5th house and 5th lord from Moon, while the kāraka Jupiter has only weak links. The child's chart has Saṅkrānti doṣa, and in its D-12 the running Rāhu daśā shows losses for the father until 2017 — but the teacher insists this only adds to what the father's own chart must already show. That is Jupiter in the D-10: a functional malefic afflicting the debilitated lagna lord Venus from all three references. Mercury antardaśā, the 2011–12 Tājaka chart and Jupiter's station opposite the D-10 lagna degree all point to a job in December–January, or by March–April.

Example Chart — D7 Child Birth Aug 2009: Rahu MD Verified — From Sun(5L=Rahu) + From Moon(Rahu Disposes 5L+Aspects 5H) = Strong From 2 References; Leo Lagna Reference Fails = Time Rectification Needed; Cancer D7 Lagna (Rectified 10:07PM): 5L=Ketu, Rahu Aspects Him = 5H Link From All 3 References; Shodashottari+Vimshottari Consistency Check

A man born in 1977 had his only child, a son, in August 2009. In D7 Vimshottari that is Rahu mahādaśā, on the border of Ketu and Venus antardaśā; the conditional Ṣoḍaśottari daśā gives Venus–Sun. The teacher tests Rahu against the 5th house from Sun, Moon and Lagna: from Sun he is the 5th lord, from Moon he aspects the 5th and disposes its lord, but from the Leo D7 lagna he has no link at all. The D7 lagna turns to Cancer only 2m31s earlier; there the 5th lord is Ketu and Rahu aspects him, so the link holds from all three references. The time is corrected to 10:07:15 PM. Venus, the Ṣoḍaśottari lord, fits from Sun and Moon but not from either lagna — Vimshottari read from three references is the more consistent of the two.

Example Chart — D4: Mars+Rahu in 9H(From Lagna+Moon=2/3 Convergence)+9th-12th Parivartana(From Sun)=Flourishes Abroad; 5L Saturn Debil in 7H=Weak Desire to Return; Lagna+10L Parivartana=All Residence Changes Career-Driven; Saturn-Venus AD=Staying Abroad; Moon AD 2013=30-35% Return Chance; Mutual Trine+Friendship Rule

The question is whether a man living in the USA will go back to India for good. In D4 (lagna and Moon in Libra) Mars and Rahu are in the 9th; from Sun the 9th lord and bādhaka lord Moon is in the 12th and the 12th lord Venus in the 9th. A link between the 9th, the 12th and the bādhaka sthāna from all three references shows a person who flourishes far from his birthplace. The 5th lord of the motherland, Saturn, is debilitated in the 7th: long visits home, no return. Lagna lord and 10th lord exchange signs, so every change of residence follows the job. Saturn–Venus and the Sun antardaśā keep him abroad; the Moon antardaśā of 2013–14 carries a 30–35% chance. A second chart from the class shows the same method: Jupiter daśā from February 1999 took that native abroad for good in October 1999, and no return shows before Mercury daśā in 2033.

Example Chart — D10: Jupiter MD=Dispositor of Saturn-Mercury Raj Yoga+Aspects It(From Lagna+Moon; 5L in 10H From Sun=Prime Dasha Giver); Mercury AD=8H Links From All 3(Job Change); Mars Pratyantara(Jan-Mar 2012)=8L in 10H From Lagna+8H Links From Sun and Moon=Strongest Trigger; Annual Tajaka D10=10L in 8H=Fortunate Change; 8L-in-10H / 10L-in-8H = Job Change Rule

He has a job and wants a change. In D10 (lagna Virgo at the corrected time) the 10th lord Mercury joins the 5th lord Saturn — a Raja Yoga that repeats from Moon, while from Sun the 5th lord Jupiter is in the 10th. Jupiter, whose mahādaśā is running, disposes the Saturn–Mercury yoga and aspects it, so his daśā delivers it. Mercury antardaśā is tied to the 8th house from all three references, and Mars — 8th lord in the 10th — is stronger still: his pratyantardaśā of January–March 2012 is the window. The annual Tajaka D10 agrees: 10th lord Jupiter in the 8th with a 9th lord, a fortunate change. A second chart shows the opposite case: an antardaśā lord with no 8th-house link means staying put, the Sun antardaśā of 2014 means change, and the native confirms a job change in 2008 under Mercury. The class ends with the remedy for his career: Lakshmi, for Venus.

D4 Case (1983): Jupiter(9L+Bhadaka+12L Links From All 3)=Going Abroad 2007; Ketu(12H From Sun+9H From Moon)=Trigger; Venus AD=Returned 2009(Venus=Lagna Lord From Moon+5th Lord From Sun=Motherland Priority Even From 12H); Sun AD=Returned to US 2010(Bhadaka Lord With 9th-12th Lord); KEY: Lagna Lord + 5th Lord = Repatriation, Though Placement in 9H/12H Keeps the Visa Effort Alive

A 1983 chart read in D-4 with the D-4 Vimśottarī daśā, from lagna, Moon and Sun. Jupiter–Ketu took the native to the US in October 2007: Jupiter links to the 9th, the 12th and the bādhaka sthāna from all three references, and Ketu touches the 9th or 12th from each. Jupiter–Venus sent him back to India in April 2009, because Venus is the lagna lord from Moon and the 5th lord from Sun, and those two lords repatriate a man. Venus also sits in the 12th from Moon and the 9th from Sun, so he went home but kept working on the visa. Jupiter–Sun brought him back in August 2010: Sun is the bādhaka lord from Moon and joins the 9th and 12th lord Mercury. The page opens with the birth details, the events the native reported and the method.

D10 Rectification(D10 Lagna Leo→Virgo, Rasi Stays Aries): Mercury(9L)+Saturn(Lagna Lord) Raj Yoga from Sun=Good Job 2005; D24 Jupiter(5L in Lagna+Aspects 5L From Moon)=Lucky Educational Break Aug 2001; D3 Elder Sister: Moon(2L in 3H)+Rahu(9L)=Marriage Nov 2000; Saturn(Bhadaka in 7H Rasi)=Kidney Infection 2008(Bhadaka Lord in 7H=7H Body Parts Rule)

The D-10 is what rectifies this chart. The good job of June 2005 came in Rāhu–Ketu, in the Saturn or Mercury pratyantardaśā. Mercury and Saturn form a rāja yoga from Sun and from Moon but nothing from the Leo D-10 lagna, so the teacher adds 3½ minutes: the D-10 lagna becomes Virgo, joins the Moon, and the yoga holds from all three references. The Rāśi lagna stays Aries. The rectified D-24 lagna, Leo, then explains the move to a good college in August 2001 through Jupiter, the 5th lord in lagna. In D-3 the 11th house is taken as the elder sister's lagna to read her marriage (Moon–Rāhu) and her child (Moon–Jupiter). In Rāśi the kidney infection of May 2008 came in Moon–Saturn: Saturn is the bādhaka lord in the 7th house and closely aspects Moon, Sun and lagna.

Kurma Chakra Dynamic: Lagna Star of Lunar NY Chart=East; Sarvata Bhadra Veda on Stars=Disaster Regions; Mundane D40/D60 Reliable(No Birth Time Uncertainty). SC Dasha=Parashara Best Kali Yuga Technique: Lagna+Moon+Sun Progress 1 Sign/Year; Dasha Pravesh Chakra; Lord in Own Sign+Exalted=Auspicious; Rahu in Sign=Weakened; 5H Strong=Power; 8H Strong=Setback; Convergence from 2+ References

A student asks whether the south-east of the world is in danger in 2012. The answer is a method: read the Kurma Chakra dynamically. Cast the Lunar New Year chart for the geographical centre of the country, take the star holding its lagna as the east, and look for vedha on the stars in the Sarvatobhadra Chakra of that chart; D-30, D-40 and D-60 of a mundane chart can be trusted because the moment is exact. The second half sets out Sudarshana Chakra Dasha: lagna, Moon and Sun each progress one sign a year and are judged from the Dasha Pravesha Chakra of that year. A sign is strong when its lord is in it or aspects it, when an exalted planet is in it or aspects it, or when its lord is exalted; Rahu weakens a sign. An important event shows from two or all three references.

SC Antardasha Seed Method: Seeds=Signs of Lagna+Moon+Sun in Dasha Pravesh Chakra (NOT Dasha Sign); For Nth Antardasha=Count Nth from Each Seed; Pratyantar: Repeat from Antardasha Pravesh; Romney Feb 2008 Verified(Guru Chandala in 5H=Power Setback). Uchatrushi=Aspect to Sign of Exaltation=Auspicious. Convergence: Important Event Shows from 2 or All 3 References

If the antardashas of Sudarshana Chakra Dasha start from the dasha sign, the first antardasha always reads the same as the mahadasha, and it does not work in practice. The method taught here takes the signs of the actual lagna, Moon and Sun in the Dasha Pravesha Chakra as seeds; the Nth month of the year is the Nth sign from each seed, judged in the entry chart of that month. Pratyantardashas repeat the step from the Antardasha Pravesha Chakra. The worked example is the month Mitt Romney dropped out in February 2008: Guru-Chandala yoga on the 5th and the 8th, and the 7th lord in the 8th, from two or all three references. The same method is then applied to January–March 2012 and to the New Hampshire primary. The page also gives uccha drishti: the aspect of a planet on its own sign of exaltation.

Romney D10 (Pisces Lagna): Jupiter=Lagna+10L in 7H=Businessman; Mars MD=Bain Capital Fortune(11H Link All 3+Uchatrushi Capricorn); Rahu-Venus AD=Governor 2002(Vipreeta Raj Yoga+5L from All 3); SC Dasha 2002=5H Activated 2+ References=Power; SC Dasha 2007=5H Only 1 Reference=No Power(Lost Primary Feb 2008); Annual Tajaka 2011=Nominee; 2012=Fall

Mitt Romney's career read from the D-10 in January 2012, before the primaries were decided. Lagna lord and 10th lord Jupiter in the 7th shows a businessman; both 9th lords act on the 10th house. Each dasa lord is judged from lagna, Moon and Sun: Mars is tied to the 11th house from all three and gave the Bain Capital fortune; Venus aspects the 5th lord from all three and gave the governorship in Rahu–Venus (November 2002). The rule: a planet gives power only with a 5th-house link from at least two of the three references. Sudarshana Chakra Dasha confirms 2002 (lagna and 5th strong from two references) and 2007-08 (5th from one only). The Tajaka annual D-10 and the dasha of 2012-13, with the 5th lord in the 8th from two references, give the prediction: the nominee, and then defeat.

Ashtakavarga in SC Dasha: Level 1=Find Raj Yogas+Own Sign+Exalted; Level 2=Ashtakavarga Reinforcement; Exalted/Own Sign Overrides Weak AV; Friendly Sign Needs AV Support. JHora PAV: Alt+PCV→Reverse AV Checkbox Shows Benefic Planets From Reference Position. Analysis Priority: Occupants→Aspectors→Lord. Rule: Exalted/Moolatrikona Trumps AV; Lagna+Sun in Same Sign=Primary Reference

How Ashtakavarga is combined with Sudarshana Chakra Dasha, as Parashara instructs. The antardasha references are the signs of Lagna, Moon and Sun in the Dasha Pravesha Chakra, counted N signs for the Nth antardasha — the teacher's own method, which he says Parashara does not state but does not contradict. The Ashtakavarga rules of Lagna, Moon and Sun are applied from the progressed Lagna, Moon and Sun; JHora's Prastara Ashtakavarga with the "reverse the meaning" box checked serves as the lookup table. First find planets in dignity and yogas common to two or three references, then use Ashtakavarga to reinforce: an exalted, Moolatrikona or own-sign planet is strong without it, a planet only in a friendly sign must also be benefic in Ashtakavarga. A house is judged by occupant, then aspector, then lord, and two references in one sign outweigh the third.

Time Scale Accuracy: Annual=Best for Long-Term Events; Monthly=Also Excellent; 2.5-Day=Less Clear(Many Details); 5-Hour=Short Focused Events. PVNR D24 IIT 1987: Scorpio+Sagittarius+Aries Progress Signs; From Scorpio=5L Jupiter Exalted in 9H; From Aries=Lagna+5L Raj Yoga(AV Benefic); Antardasha May-Jun=Saturn(5L in Moolatrikona)+10L Raj Yoga; Pratyantar=9th-10th Parivartana

The teacher's own D24 for the year he stood state first and was selected for IIT Madras (28 May 1987). The SC Dasha signs of the year are Scorpio (Lagna), Sagittarius (Moon) and Aries (Sun). From Scorpio the 5th lord Jupiter is exalted in the 9th and aspects his own sign; from Aries the lagna lord and 5th lord join in the 8th with the 5th lord benefic in Ashtakavarga, and Jupiter is exalted in the 4th. In the month (Libra, Capricorn, Sagittarius) the 5th lord Saturn is in Moolatrikona in the 5th with the 9th lord, opposite the 10th lord. In the 2.5 days (Cancer, Aries, Leo) there is a 9th–10th lord parivartana, but the 3rd and 10th houses stand out — the result came on the evening radio news. The page also sets out what each scale shows: the year shows a long-term event well, the month better, 2.5 days less well, because each chart shows what fills the mind in that period.

PVNR D10 Job Layoff Aug 2002: SC Dasha Taurus+Cancer+Capricorn; Guru Chandala Linked to 6H+10H From 2+ References=Career Setback; BUT 6L Strong=Quick Recovery(New Job Within Weeks). PVNR D7 Son Birth Aug 1998: Lagna+Sun Same Sign=Primary Reference; Exalted Jupiter+1L+5L Raj Yoga From Lagna=Most Powerful; 5L+4L in 9H From Sun=Fortune in Children; 2 References=Confirmed

Two more years from the teacher's own life read by SC Dasha with Ashtakavarga. D10, year from April 2002 (Taurus, Cancer, Capricorn): Guru-Chandala Yoga of Jupiter and Rahu falls in the 6th from Taurus, the 4th from Cancer aspecting the 10th, and the 10th from Capricorn — a layoff in August; but the 6th house keeps a sound lord or aspector from each reference, and he had a new job within weeks. D7, year from April 1998 (Libra, Sagittarius, Taurus): from Libra the lagna lord Venus, exalted, joins the 5th lord Saturn in the 6th, aspected by exalted Jupiter; from Taurus the 5th and 4th lords are in the 9th under the same Jupiter; from Sagittarius the 5th is only average. In the month of the birth Lagna and Sun of the Dasha Pravesha Chakra are both in Capricorn, so Taurus, the 5th from it, is the main reference and holds the 4th, 5th, 9th and 10th lords. The 2.5-day chart of the birth shows far less. The technique shows the forest, not the trees.

Example Chart (1985): D4 Rahu MD(8L Guru Chandala in 4H=Ancestral Property Dispute); Settle Before Saturn AD; D24 Aquarius Lagna(Mars in Own Sign Aspects 9H=Hardware Electronics vs Capricorn Lagna 9L Mercury in Own Sign=Software); D9 Venus AD 2015=7L in Lagna=Marriage; Char Dasha=Jupiter Transit Cancer(9L Exalted in Char Dasha Sign); Mercury 6L in 8H=Anxiety Not Marriage

A Libra-lagna native (1985) whose lagna sits half a minute before a border shared by D-4, D-12, D-20 and D-24. The teacher fixes the time from three known facts: the family deity (D-20), a good relation with the father (D-12) and hardware electronics (D-24, where Mars in own sign aspects the empty 9th). In D-4 the Rahu daśā has the 8th lord Rahu with 9th lord Jupiter on the 4th cusp — a dispute over the ancestral home; he should compromise and pay in the 12th lord Mercury's period and finish before the maraka Saturn's antardaśā. In D-9, Jupiter–Mercury gives anxiety over marriage; Venus antardaśā about 2015, with Jupiter transiting the Cancer Char daśā sign, is the time. D-10 is read briefly. The page opens with a student's chart (1994) whose D-24 lagna, Cancer or Leo, decides between medicine and other fields and is left open.

Example Chart (1987) Virgo Lagna Rectification: D24 Taurus Lagna=Sun in 9H=Medicine+Mercury-Saturn Parivartana=High Intelligence; 6L Venus+Mars(Quarrel Karka)=Rough Patch 2008-10; KEY: Ketu Gives Results by HOUSE Occupied(More Than Owned)=Ketu in 8H=Career Delays; Venus Dasha 2015=Exalted+Well Placed From Lagna, Sun and Moon=Excellent 20-Year Career

A medical graduate (born 1987) has been refused by five US universities and asks whether to keep trying or go home. His given time, 11:24 AM, puts the rāśi lagna on the Virgo–Libra border. The teacher settles Virgo from a lean Vāta build and fast, fluent speech, then moves the time to 11:18:30 so that D-24 has Taurus rising: Sun in the 9th for medicine, a 5th–10th lord exchange between Mercury and Saturn for intelligence, and 6th lord Venus with Mars explaining the fights with professors in Rahu–Venus (2008–10). In D-10, Ketu is the 10th lord but sits in the 8th, and Ketu gives the result of the house he occupies, so the career waits for the 20-year Venus daśā from 2015. D-24 says the present is for study, with a compromise on the choice of university.

Example Chart — D4 Gemini Lagna: Saturn Dasha+Rahu AD(After Apr 2012)=9L in Lagna=Fortune+Rahu Karka Abroad=Stabilize US Position/Visa; PAK LAGNA: Owners of 12H from Pak Lagna That Also Aspect It=Foreign Dasha; Mercury MD After Saturn=Lagna Lord in Trine to 5L Venus=Motherland Agenda; Mercury-Venus AD(2020-23)=May Return India; Advice: Lower Bar+Rahu AD Very Good Chance US

The D-4 of the 1987 example, with Gemini rising, answers whether he must leave the US. Saturn, 9th lord in the 12th, took him abroad; the running Mars antardaśā (6th and 11th lord exalted in the 8th) gives only tension. Rahu antardaśā from 26 April 2012 is the 9th lord in the lagna and the kāraka of foreign lands, so his position abroad is cemented and he will not have to return for at least three years. Saturn and Rahu also own and aspect the 12th from Paka lagna. A return to India is likelier in Mercury–Venus (2020–23): Venus, not Mercury, is the 5th lord, and he is in the 5th from Paka lagna. The advice is to try more universities and set the bar lower.

Example Chart — D12 Father Death: Scorpio Lagna, 9H Cancer as Father's Lagna(Saturn=7L+8L in It=Maraka+Alcoholism); Vimshottari Saturn AD 2nd Half 2012=Kills; Chaturasi Sama(10L in 10H Condition)=Also Saturn AD; Annual Tajaka 2012=6L+8L+Maraka Signs Stronger Than 2013; Prashna=Sun(9H Lord as Lagna) in 6H Enemy+Saturn Aspect; Multi-Method Convergence=High Confidence. "Saturn Won't Kill"=WRONG. Terminal: Think of God

A man born in 1970 asks in March 2012 whether his critically ill father will survive the year. The teacher moves the time back 30 seconds so that D-12 has Scorpio rising and reads the 9th house, Cancer, as the father’s lagna: Ketu in its 10th for a railway clerk, Saturn in it for drink. Saturn is that lagna’s 7th and 8th lord and aspects his own 7th house, a strong māraka; the saying that Saturn will not kill is wrong. D-12 Vimśottarī brings Mars–Saturn from August 2012 and Chaturaśīti Sama daśā (10th lord in the 10th) brings Sun–Saturn from May 2012. The 2012 annual chart is worse for the father than the 2013 one, and a praśna does not contradict, so the call is the second half of 2012. The class ends on what to tell someone near the end: no remedies, keep the mind on one Devatā.

Example Chart (1968): Tithi Pravesha Navamsa Jupiter(7L in 5H=Poorvapunya)+D9 Venus AD=Marriage Aug 1997; D4: Jupiter(12L+Rahu in 9H)=Abroad Feb 1998(Venus=9L from Dasha Lord Jupiter); D12: Mother Nov 2008=Mercury(2L in 2H)+Tithi Pravesha Rahu(7L in 2H);Father Oct 2011=Tithi Pravesha Read from Sun(Lagna Broken by Moon+Mars+Rahu); Maraka Combos: 2L in 3H, 3L in 2H, 7L in 8H, 8L in 7H

An Aries-lagna chart with a recorded birth time of 7:15 PM is rectified to 7:08 PM, each event closing the window a little: the body (Aries, not Taurus), the marriage, the career, the mother's death, the education. Marriage in August 1997: the natal Jupiter–Ketu period is possible, but the Tithi Pravesha chart of 1996 decides — its navamsa lagna must be Gemini, not Cancer, which makes the year's dasha lord Jupiter the 7th lord in the 5th house; the D-9 Vimshottari gives Jupiter–Venus, Venus being the 6th lord debilitated in the natal navamsa and in the 9th from Jupiter. Going to the US in February 1998, Jupiter–Venus in D-4: Jupiter is the 12th lord in the 9th with Rahu, Venus is in the badhaka sthana in a watery sign exchanging with the badhaka lord Mars, and is the 9th lord aspecting the 9th from Jupiter taken as lagna. Parents in D-12: the mother's death under Saturn–Mercury (Mercury the 2nd lord in the 2nd from the 4th house, with the 7th lord Mars) and under Rahu in the Tithi Pravesha chart of 2008; the father's death read from the Sun in the Tithi Pravesha chart of 2010, because that lagna holds Moon, Mars and Rahu — a broken house — and from the 9th from the Sun Rahu is the 2nd lord in the 3rd with the 7th lord. The page ends with the native's question about living away from home, answered from Saturn in the 12th in D-1 and D-4.

Example Chart — D4(Sagittarius Lagna): Venus(6L+11L in 2H=Wealth Litigation); 8H(7L+9L+10L)=Inherits Fortune+Dissipates It. KEY PRINCIPLES: Marana Karaka Sthana(Jupiter=3H, Rahu=9H, Venus=6H); 9H from Sun for Father; 4H from Moon for Mother; Dispositor as Landlord Rule; Parivartana Duryoga vs Raj Yoga; Sita Rama for Mercury+Sun+Venus Combination

The D4 (Chaturthamsa) of the same man, read for property and finance, followed by the rules of the whole lesson. Sagittarius rises and the dasha read from D4 is again Venus: the 6th and 11th lord, an enemy of the lagna lord, placed in the 2nd — litigation or tension over wealth and property. Lagna lord Jupiter is in the 3rd, his Maraṇa Kāraka Sthāna, with Ketu, which made the teacher ask about property trouble with siblings (there is none). The 8th house holds the 7th, 9th and 10th lords with the 8th lord: a man who inherits a fortune and blows it off. The summary table collects the lesson's rules on the dispositor, parivartana Duryoga, Maraṇa Kāraka Sthāna, owned house versus occupied house, and the references for father, mother, son and wife.

"P" (1978): D9 Mars-Rahu=Marriage Jan 1999(Pak Lagna: Rahu=5L in 5H from Mars=Auspicious); D7 Rahu-Mercury=Daughter Dec 2006(Mercury 5L in 5H); D4 Jupiter(9L in 12H)+Rahu AD=US Jan 2000; D10 Rectification Aries NOT Libra: Moon in 10H=People Work; Mercury-Venus in 7H=Marketing/Sales+6L in 7H=Service Tendency Despite Business

A woman asks whether to stay in engineering, return to marketing or start a business. Before answering, the teacher tests her birth time against the events she supplied, one varga at a time, each with that varga’s own Vimśottarī. Marriage in January 1999 falls in Mars–Rāhu of the Navāṁśa: Mars is the 9th lord aspecting the 2nd house, the 7th lord and the lagna lord, and from Mars Rāhu is the 5th lord in the 5th. The daughter of December 2006 comes in Rāhu–Mercury of the Saptāṁśa (lagna lord in the 3rd, 5th lord in the 5th), and the move to the US in Jupiter–Rāhu of the Chaturthāṁśa. D-24 is checked for education. The Daśāṁśa lagna is then settled as Aries, not the Pisces of three minutes earlier, because only Aries explains a sales and marketing career and a business that Mercury, 6th lord in the 7th, gave and then took back into service.

"P" D10 Career: Jupiter-Ketu(8L in 9H)=Break Coming; Jupiter-Venus(Jun 2013-2016)=BEST Business Window(Venus=YK in 9H from Jupiter + 1L in 7H from Lagna); Business Type: Venus+Mercury+Mars=Tech-Enabled Marketing/Decor/Luxury. Amatyakaraka(Moon): 6L from AK=Palanyadatta=Mercury=Vishnu; Lakshmi Ashtottara+Vishnu Sahasranama Daily

The career advice read from the Daśāṁśa (Aries lagna) of the example chart. Jupiter–Ketu, running at the time of the class, can bring a break within a year because Ketu is the 8th lord. Jupiter–Venus, June 2013 to February 2016, is the time to set up her own business: from Jupiter Venus is the 9th lord in the 9th, and from the lagna he is the 7th lord in the 7th in his own sign. Venus with Mercury, aspected by Mars, points to marketing services in technical sectors. The lagna lord Mars and the 5th lord Sun in the 12th, aspected by Saturn, make the dissatisfaction lifelong, so expectations are to be kept modest. The remedy is Lakṣmī Aṣṭottara and Viṣṇu Sahasranāma daily, because Mercury is the 6th lord from the lagna, the Moon and the Amātyakāraka, and sits with Venus.

Obama D10 Scorpio: Saturn(YK)+Rahu+Sun in 5H=Political Activist Chart; Mercury(5L+2L in 2H)=Great Orator; Rahu Dasha=Political Power(5H Occupation); Rahu-Jupiter(3L+12L in Lagna)=Troubled; Rahu-Saturn(YK in 5H)=Good; Rahu-Venus(Lagna Lord Aspects 10H)=2012 Election WIN; Mercury in 2H=Primary Career Strength=Oratory

Barack Obama’s chart from the Hawaii birth certificate, read in August 2012 before the election. The time is moved from 7:24:20 to 7:25 PM so that the Dvādaśāṁśa lagna becomes Scorpio and shows the absent father. Marriage is checked in the Navāṁśa (Sun–Saturn) and the children in the Saptāṁśa. In his own Daśāṁśa the lagna is Taurus: Mercury in his own sign in the 2nd makes the orator, and Sun, Saturn and Rāhu in the 5th make the activist who holds power. Rāhu daśā gave the presidency, Rāhu–Jupiter was the rough stretch, Rāhu–Saturn is good, and Rāhu–Mercury is called the peak. The Scorpio Daśāṁśa belongs to the 2012 Tithi Praveśa chart: Mercury, exalted 11th lord but also 8th lord, runs from 20 September, so the teacher predicts a tense month and a half before the election and a win. Saturn daśā in the rāśi chart is judged not to be a māraka period.

Stationary Transit Principle: Planet Stationary=Stops+Acts(3-4° Orb Only); JHora Mundane Tab=Stationary Transit Mode; Nimitta Dog=Saturn. the native(Aquarius 1989) Coma: Jupiter-Rahu Dasha=Jupiter(2L Maraka)+BUT Rahu(1L in Lagna=Not a Maraka); HOWEVER Gochara: Jupiter(8H from Moon)+Rahu(Debil in 2H=Maraka Sthana)=Long Suffering; Relief: Jupiter Moves to 9H From Moon(~June 2013)

A stationary planet triggers the natal point it conjoins or aspects, in the rāśi chart or in the divisional chart of the matter. The orb is a couple of degrees, four at the most, and Jupiter and Saturn matter most. The page shows how to find a station in the software and the nimitta (a dog crying) that sent the teacher to Saturn. It then reads the rāśi chart of a native in coma for 60+ days (born 1989, Aquarius lagna): Jupiter daśā is a māraka daśā, but the antardaśā lord Rāhu is lagna lord in lagna and no māraka. The length of the suffering comes from gochara: the daśā lord Jupiter transits the 8th from natal Moon and the antardaśā lord Rāhu sits debilitated in the 2nd from Moon. Relief is timed to Jupiter entering Gemini about June 2013, the 9th from Moon and 5th from lagna.

Example Chart — D30: Saturn Stationary(28°44' Virgo Jun 2012)=7th Aspect on D30 6th Lord Mars(27°36' Pisces)=Within 1.5°=Health Crisis Trigger; 2nd Station Feb 2013=3rd Aspect on D30 Moon(20° Sag)=3° Orb; Prashna: 9L Mercury Aspects Lagna+1L Saturn Exalted in 9H=Survival+Divine Blessing; Planet Cycle Timing: Mercury=Months, Saturn=Years; Remedies: Mritunjaya+Rudra

The D-30 of the native in coma (Gemini lagna): the Moon, 2nd lord in the 7th, is a māraka under the 8th lord Saturn and the nodes, and his daśā is running. Saturn became stationary on 25 June 2012 at 28°44' Virgo; his 7th aspect falls within a degree and a half of D-30 Mars, the 6th lord, at 27°36' Pisces, and his 10th aspect reaches the D-30 lagna. The coma began about then. The next station, 18 February 2013 at about 17½° Libra, sits on the rāśi Moon and aspects the D-30 Moon within 2½°. The praśna (Capricorn lagna) shows survival: the lagna lord Saturn is exalted and falls in the 9th house by longitude, and the 9th lord Mercury aspects the lagna. Mercury gives results in months and Saturn in years, so the recovery is put at a year or two. The page ends with the remedies and with why a coma could not have been named in advance.

Example Chart (1981) D4: Venus-Saturn=Abroad 2005(Bhadaka Sthana+Pak Lagna 9L+12L); Sun-Rahu=Immigration Denial(Rahu=6L from Sun=Litigation); Sun-Jupiter(Jan-Nov 2013)=1L Dasha+5L Antardasha in Mutual Quadrants=RETURN TO INDIA(Motherland); D10 Pisces: Gajakesari+Jupiter(1L+10L in 10H Moolatrikona)=Teaching Career After Mercury-DBA; Moon MD=5L in Lagna=Career Fortune

An immigration question for a Taurus-lagna native (born 1981) whose green-card waiver has just been denied. Mercury daśā took him abroad in 2005: from the Pāka lagna, Libra, Mercury is the 9th and 12th lord. The birth time is checked first, because three minutes earlier the D-4 lagna changes from Leo to Taurus; the present trouble and the D-24 for education both keep the given time. In D-4 (Leo lagna) Venus–Saturn gave the move abroad: Venus is in the bādhaka sthāna and Saturn is the bādhaka lord in the 12th from Venus. Sun–Rāhu gave the denial: Rāhu is the 6th lord from the daśā lord. Sun–Jupiter in 2013 is lagna lord daśā with 5th lord antardaśā, the two in mutual quadrants, and that shows going back to the motherland, not a green card. The D-10 (Pisces lagna) has Jupiter, lagna lord and 10th lord, in the 10th in mūlatrikoṇa with Gajakesari yoga, so the career is safe and teaching suits him better.

Example Chart (1974): D9 Jupiter(7L)+Mercury(5L+1L Raj Yoga)=Marriage Feb 1996; D4 Mercury(9L+12L in 12H)=Foreign Settlement(Saturn 9L in 12H=Abroad); D7 Venus(Yaukaraka in 5H)=Entire MD Auspicious; Venus-Venus=Daughter 1998; Venus-Jupiter=Son 2004; D24 Capricorn: Venus(YK in 4H)=B.Com 1995; Venus-Ketu(Ketu=8th from Venus)=CPA Failures 2008+2010

One chart (June 4, 1974, 9:10 AM IST, Cancer lagna) is checked varga by varga against dated events, using the Vimshottari dasha of each divisional chart. D9 (Virgo lagna): marriage on February 21, 1996 in Jupiter–Mercury — Jupiter is the 7th lord, and lagna lord Mercury sits with 5th lord Saturn in the 5th, the 7th from Venus. D7 (Aquarius lagna): yogakaraka Venus is in the 5th; the class ayanamsa gives Ketu–Mercury and Venus–Moon for the two children, and Ketu cannot be explained, while a second ayanamsa puts both births in Venus dasha — Venus–Venus for the daughter (1998) and Venus–Jupiter for the son (2004), Jupiter being the lord of the second child’s lagna Pisces, exalted in its 5th. D4 (Libra lagna): she went abroad in Jupiter–Rahu, with Rahu in the badhaka sign and Mercury, 9th and 12th lord, exalted in the 12th; the strong 12th keeps her abroad. D24 (Capricorn lagna, even-sign corrected): yogakaraka Venus in the 4th gave the B.Com in 1995, both CPA failures fell in Venus–Mercury, the running Venus–Ketu has Ketu in the 8th from Venus with the debilitated 7th lord Moon, and the advice is to retake the same exam around 2015 in the antardasha of lagna lord Saturn. The birth time is not moved for the class ayanamsa.

True Nodes=Real Eclipse Points(JHora: Preferences→Planet Calculation→True Nodes); Dusthana Lord in Own Dusthana=Harm Neutralized(8L in 8H=Mysticism; 12L in 12H=No Loss); 3rd Lord in 10H=Career Breaks; TP Annual: Lagna in 7H from Natal=Marriage Year; 4H=Abroad Year; Hora Lord=Year Ruler

Rāhu and Ketu are the points where the Moon’s orbital plane cuts the Earth’s. True nodes are those points as they stand at the moment; mean nodes are the same points averaged over time so that they are always retrograde. The teacher prefers true nodes, because eclipses are caused by the true intersection points, and the choice can move a node into another sign in a divisional chart — which is how the question came up in class. The page also gives the rules he states on dusthāna lords: 6th lord in the 6th, 8th lord in the 8th and 12th lord in the 12th are good; a dusthāna lord in lagna is not; 3rd lord in the 10th of D-10 gives breaks in work. Last, the Tithi Praveśa year is judged from the ruler of the year and from where the TP lagna falls from the natal lagna: in a kendra the year is good, in the 6th, 8th or 12th it can show setbacks.

Engineer (1953) D10 Virgo: Saturn(Exalted 2H)+Mercury(1L)=Raj Yoga; Ketu AD(3L in 10H)=Career Breaks; Venus AD(9L in 9H=Dispositor of Raj Yoga)=Contract Extension; Venus-Mukta(1L in 11H)=Extension Confirmed; TP 2012: Lagna in 4H from Natal+Mercury(9L in 10H)=Good Year; Vishnu Sahasranama

A Cancer-lagna engineer, out of work since April 2011, got a contract job on October 16, 2012 and asks whether it will be prolonged. The D-10 (Virgo lagna) is read daśā by daśā: Saturn mahādaśā — exalted 5th and 6th lord with the lagna lord in the 2nd — shows no end to the career; Ketu antardaśā, 3rd lord in the 10th and 6th lord from the 10th taken as lagna, was the break; Venus antardaśā, 9th lord in the 9th and dispositor of the Raj Yoga, aspecting the 3rd house of contract work, gives almost continuous employment till mid-2015. The Tithi Praveśa chart for 2012 then narrows it to months: Libra lagna in a kendra from the natal lagna, the year’s ruler Mercury as 9th lord in the 10th, the job arriving in Rāhu’s period, Venus’s period till February 11 favouring extension, office politics in the Sun’s period, and a possible break or anxiety in the Moon’s period of March–April. The deity advised is Viṣṇu.

Unmarried (1981 Sagittarius): D9 Leo=AK Venus+DK Jupiter Shashtashta(Soul Rejects Marriage); 1L Sun Weak(6H+Ketu+Saturn Aspect)=Main Block; Chaturashishti=Mercury(7L in Lagna)=Best Marriage; Saturn Stationary 17°28' Libra(Feb 2013)=Aspects D9 7L Saturn Within 18'=Marriage Window; Aditya Hridayam+Hanuman for Saturn-Mars-Rahu

A Sagittarius-lagna woman of 31 is still unmarried; the class had looked at her chart in 2007 and 2009 and expected marriage by 2011. In the navāṁśa (Leo lagna) the 7th lord Saturn is in the 12th, hemmed between debilitated Mars and Rāhu, but the teacher names the lagna lord Sun as the main block: in the 6th, in an enemy’s sign, with Ketu, aspected by Saturn. Venus taken as lagna repeats the pattern, and Ātmakāraka Venus and Dārakāraka Jupiter are in ṣaṣṭhāṣṭaka in the navāṁśa — the soul not needing a partner, for which there is no remedy. For timing he uses Chaturaśīti-sama daśā (10th lord in the 10th): Mercury daśā, Jupiter antardaśā can give marriage within a year and a half. Stationary transits fix the window: Jupiter stationary on January 30, 2013 aspects the navāṁśa Sun within about 2°, and Saturn stationary on February 18, 2013 at 17°28' Libra aspects natal navāṁśa Saturn within a fraction of a degree. Remedy: Āditya Hṛdayam above all; Durgā for sāḍe-sātī; Hanumān or Chaṇḍī for Saturn–Mars–Rāhu. The page ends with a scar on her face read from the rāśi chart.

11H=Favorable for ANY Planet(Malefic or Benefic); Viparita Raj Yoga: Dusthana Lord in Dusthana Must Be UNAFFLICTED(Benefic Present=Only Partial Yoga); TP Lagna in 7H from Natal=Marriage Year; 4H=Abroad; Hora Lord=Year Ruler; D24 Even-Sign Correction Scope: D24 Only(NOT D9/D60 Yet)

Four rules stated in this class. The 11th house is good for any planet: the 3rd and 6th favour malefics only, but in the 11th even benefics are well placed — still check who joins or aspects the planet. Viparīta Rāja Yoga needs an unafflicted duṣṭhāna lord: a 12th lord in the 12th aspected only by the 8th and 6th lords gives the full yoga, while a 6th lord in the 12th joined by a 9th lord gives only partial relief. In a Tithi Praveśa chart, read the house the annual lagna occupies from the natal lagna (7th marriage, 8th setbacks, 4th going abroad, 11th gains) and judge the Hora Lord, the ruler of the year, in the annual Rāśi and Navāṁśa. The revised D-24 reckoning counts the 24 parts of even signs backward from Cancer, the mirror image of the odd-sign count from Leo; the teacher applies it to D-24 only and leaves other vargas as they were.

Young Woman (1994): D9 Rahu MD=Mercury AD(7L in Lagna)=BEST Marriage; TP 2012=Not Marriage(11H Year); TP 2017=STRONGEST(Lagna in 7H from Natal+Hora Lord=Exalted 7L+Yogakaraka Venus Exalted)=Feb-March 2017; D4 Rahu(12H)+12L Mars=Going Abroad in Rahu Dasha; PVNR: Do Not Rush Marriage at 18

A reading given in 2012 for an 18-year-old who has just begun engineering and has received a marriage proposal. In the Navāṁśa (lagna Sagittarius) the daśā lord Rāhu sits in the 7th; each antardaśā lord is judged from lagna and from Rāhu: Jupiter (debilitated lagna lord, 7th lord in the 8th from Rāhu) gives only some chance, Saturn does not show marriage, and Mercury — 7th lord in lagna and lagna lord in the 7th from Rāhu — is the best candidate, from 2017. The Tithi Praveśa charts then pick the year: 2012–13 has the annual lagna in the 11th from natal lagna and a spoiled Navāṁśa 7th; 2013–14 gives a slight chance; 2016–17 has the annual lagna in the 7th from natal Scorpio, 7th lord Mars with yogakāraka Saturn in the 7th, and Hora Lord Sun as the exalted 7th lord of the annual Navāṁśa — February–March 2017. The teacher separates advice (do not marry now; finish the degree) from prediction, and reads going abroad from Rāhu in the 12th and D-4.

Example Chart (1985): D9 Jupiter MD→Venus AD(Karaka+71% Aspect 7H+9L)=Jan 2013; TP: Hora Lord Mars in 7H+Venus-Mars 2° Samsaptaka in TP Navamsa=July-Aug 2013; D10 Virgo: 3H-7H-11H Axis=Business/Consulting(NOT Service); Saturn+Rahu in Lagna=Unfit for Orders; Jupiter-Moon Glorious AD 2016-17; Kodanda Rama

When will marriage come, and what career suits him — the 1985 chart read through Navāṁśa and Daśāṁśa. Jupiter mahādaśā can give marriage because Jupiter is 5th lord aspecting the 7th house in Navāṁśa; Ketu antardaśā delays because Ketu is 6th lord from Jupiter; Venus antardaśā from January 15, 2013 is the candidate, with a 71% aspect on the 7th house and as 5th lord in the 2nd from Jupiter. Jupiter’s transit into Gemini and the Tithi Praveśa of November 2012 (Hora lord Mars in the 7th; Venus and Mars within 2° of samasaptaka in the annual Navāṁśa) point to the second half of July through September 2013. In Daśāṁśa the 3rd, 7th and 11th houses are the strongest, so this is a chart for business, contracts or consulting, not service; Jupiter–Moon in 2016–17 is the best period, and Kodaṇḍa Rāma is the deity for career.

Example Chart (1960): Second Marriage=8th from 7th(2H from Lagna)=Cancer Reference; Navamsa Rectification via Marriage+Divorce Events=Aquarius Rasi+Gemini Navamsa; Saturn(7L in 3H Upachaya from Cancer)=2nd Marriage Possible; Enhanced Viparita=Two Dusthana Lords+Lagna Lord in Kendra; Mercury MD Better; TP 2012: Moon=7L(Cancer)=Yes; Lakshmi Narayana

A man of 52 whose wife never joined him, who fought her suit for over ten years and was divorced in 2007, asks whether to marry again. His lagna sits on the Aquarius–Pisces border, so PVNR tests both Navāṁśa lagnas against Vimśottarī: Jupiter daśā gave the marriage, all of Saturn daśā was trouble, Saturn–Moon gave the divorce — only Aquarius with Gemini Navāṁśa explains all three. The Moon’s antardaśā shows the rule that a natural malefic in the 3rd is good unless debilitated. The second marriage is read from the 8th of the 7th in Navāṁśa — Cancer — taken as a lagna; timing comes from Saturn–Jupiter, the coming Mercury daśā, and the 2012 Tithi Praveśa, where two dusthāna lords join a strong lagna lord in a quadrant from the second-marriage house. Verdict: the second marriage will be markedly better than the first; go for it. Remedy: Lakṣmī and Nārāyaṇa on Wednesdays.

Leo (1983): Ketu MD+Saturn AD(6L+7L+Aspects Lagna Lord Sun)=Vata Respiratory; Dual Verification: Saturn=6L from Lagna+8H from Moon=BOTH References=More Serious; 6L AD=Comes and Goes(NOT Chronic); Saturn=Vata Planet; Moon Paksha=Vata/Kapha Formula(Krishna Dwadashi=12/15 Vata); Retrograde Exalted 6L=Reduced Harm

A student’s own chart: Leo lagna, born May 9, 1983, with recurring nose and respiratory trouble for a few months. The trouble did not start with Ketu mahādaśā in 2007 but recently, so the teacher looks to the antardaśā: Saturn, from April 2012. Saturn is the 6th and 7th lord, a functional malefic for Leo, an enemy of lagna lord Sun, and he aspects the Sun. The 6th shows things that come and go; the 8th, long-term disease — so this is not chronic. From the Moon in Pisces Saturn is the 11th and 12th lord in the 8th; a planet showing disease from both Lagna and Moon can be more serious. Saturn is the Vāyu planet, so the complaint is Vata. The page also covers Moon’s dosha by tithi (full = Kapha, new = Vata; Kṛṣṇa Dvādaśī here = 12/15 Vata) and why the retrogression of an exalted 6th lord reduces the trouble he gives.
