There are 27 nakshatras (stars, constellations), which are: 01) Ashwini 02) Bharani 03) Kruthika 04) Rohini 05) Mrugashira 06) Arudra 07) Punarvasu 08) Pushyami 09) Aslesha 10) Makha 11) Pubba 12) Uthara 13) Hasta 14) Chitta 15) Swati 16) Visakha 17) Anuradha 18) Jyeshta 19) Moola 20) Purva Ashada 21) Uthara Ashada 22) Sharavana 23) Dhanishta 24) Satabisha 25) Purva Bhadra 26) Uthara Badra 27) Revathi Longitude of one nakshatra is 13 deg. 20 minutes. Hence 13 deg 20 minutes x 12 rashis = 360 degrees. NB : 60 seconds = 1 minute. 60 minutes = 1 deg. 30 degrees = 1 rashi. 360 deg = 1 rashi chakra. Hence 13 deg. 20 minutes = 800 minutes. 13 deg x 60 minutes = 780 minutes + 20 minutes = 800 minutes.

All persons borne under the Nakshatra Ashwini, Maka and Moola are borne in the Vimashottari maha dasha of Ketu, since Ketu is the lord of these stars. For other nakshatras in the Navakam Vimshottari dasha will be the same way as per the respective lord of the Nakshatra. Though there are other maha dashas such as Narayana dasha, Rashi dasha, Ashttothari dasha, etc. the most commonly used and widely accepted mahadasha is Vimshottari mahadasha.

CHAPTER 35. CHANDRA (MOON) LAGNA (JANMA RASHI). The placement of Moon is very important in a horoscope. The Rashi in which Moon is placed is called Chandra Lagna or Janma Rashi or Moon Rashi or Chandra lagnam. Suppose in a horoscope if the Moon is placed at 10 deg. 50 minutes, we will say that the Nakshatra of the person is Aswhini 4th padam. The lord of Ashwini is Ketu. Since Moon is placed in Aries, the sign lord is Mars. Star lord is Ketu. Hence the sign lord is Mars and

The Chandra rashi is more powerful than the Sun rashi.

HINDU PREDICTIVE ASTROLOGY

The total longitude of the rashi chakra or zodiac is 360 deg.

37

HINDU PREDICTIVE ASTROLOGY CHAPTER 38 MOTIONS OF PLANETS Planets move forward and backward, which is called direct and retrogression. Illuminaries such as Sun and Moon always move forward and it is called clock-wise movement. This is also called direct movement. Planets such as Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, and Saturn move both forward and backward (clock wise and anti clock wise), which is called direct and retrogression respectively. (All movements backward or anti-clock wise are called retrogression). Shadowy planets such as Rahu and Ketu always move backwards and hence they are always in retrogression.

CHAPTER 50 PLANETARY PECULIARITIES

Athichaara or Acceleration Stambhana or Stagnation

: Faster movement of planet is called acceleration : Placement in the same sign for more than usual Period is called stagnation or stationery. : Planets in intimate conjunction with Sun get combustion. : Planets placed along with Mon gets samagama : Ascending direction from neecha to ucha. : Descending direction from uccha to neecha

Astangata or combustion

Samagama Arohana Avarohana CHAPTER 50 Athichaara or Acceleration

: Faster movement of planet is called acceleration

There are planets who move faster in certain signs, especially Mercury, etc. Some Astrologers while evaluating a horoscope and when a querist asked about the fructification of an event, the speed of the planet is looked into and result told thereon depending upon the fastness too. Stambhana or Stagnation : Placement in the same sign for more than usual Period is called stagnation or stationery.

This is called a planet getting stagnant in a house. Normally Mars takes around 45 days to cross over a sign. But if you remember during last year Mars stayed in Aries for approx. 6 months. At that time mars and Saturn were in mutual aspect (viewing each other). This has resulted in catastrophic effects all over the world. There were ship sinking, mine collapsing, heavy rains, landslides, etc. In the chart of President Kennedy, Mars and Saturn were in similar position (Mars in Aries and Saturn in Cancer). In the chart of Attorney General Robert F Kennedy, Mars and Saturn were in proximity to each other. Hence it is concluded that malefic planet getting stagnant is dangerous. However, planets like Sun and Moon or shadowy planets like Rahu or Ketu does not stagnant. Astangata or combustion : Planets in intimate conjunction with Sun get combustion.

There is normal belief that whoever planets get closer to Sun, gets their strength reduced. Samagama Samagama is equality. Arohana : Ascending direction from neecha to ucha. 50 : Planets placed along with Mon gets samagama

HINDU PREDICTIVE ASTROLOGY There are planets who goes from debilitation to exaltation or vice versa. For example, Sun debilitates at 20 deg in Libra and movement therefrom is called Arohana (ascending) Avarohana : Descending direction from uccha to neecha

Avarohana (descending) is exactly opposite to Arohana

HINDU PREDICTIVE ASTROLOGY CHAPTER 52 ANTAR DASHA (BHUKTI)

Each Vimshottari Mahadasha is divided into Antar Dasha (Bhukti) as per the planets. Some of the examples are given below: Suppose Venus Mahadasha is of 20 years, which is divided into nine planetary antar dasha as below: Suppose VENUS MAHADASHA 20 years starts from 19.09.2005 Calculation is planetary dasha x planetary dasha Take the last digit and multiply by 3. Rest digits may be treated as months. Hence Venus antar dasha will be: 20 x 20 = 40. Here last digit is 0. Hence 40 months, which is 3 years and 4 months. Venus Antar Dasha 0 days, 4 months, 3 years, 19.09.2005 00.04.0003 ------------19.01.2009

Sun Antar Dasha 20 x 6 = 120 means 12 months, which means 1 year 00.00.0001 ------------19.01.2010 Moon Antar Dasha 20 x 10 = 210 = 0 days, 11 months, 1year 00.11.0001 ------------19.12.2011 Mars Antar Dasha Rahu Antar Dasha Jupiter Antar Dasha Saturn Antar Dasha Mercury Antar Dasha Ketu Antar Dasha Another example: Rahu mahadasha, Rahu Antar dasha. 18 x 18 =324 Last digit 4 x 3 =12. hence 12 days and 32 months. 32 months is 2 years and 8 months Hence Rahu MD, Rahu A.D. will be 12 d, 8 m, 2 years, and so on.

HINDU PREDICTIVE ASTROLOGY CHAPTER 55 LAGNAM CALCULATION.

Lagnam or Ascendant refers to the time of birth. There are 12 rashis in the zodiac. There are 24 hours in a day. Hence each rashi is having approximately 2 hours. The earth on its axis rotates one time in 24 hours. The calculation for lagna is as given below:-There are two types of birth: before noon birth and after noon birth. BEFORE NOON BIRTH. All births before 12.00 noon are called before noon births. Suppose, one person is borne at 9.30 a.m. on 02-Sept 1961 at Ernakulam. The calculation for lagna is as follows (to be read with Lahiri Table of Ascendants):-Hr-min-sec 09-30-00 00-24-48

Indian standard time (time of birth) Local mean time correction (for Ernakulam). 82-30 Central Longitude of India (GMT Minus 5.30 hrs) 76-18 Longitude of Ernakulam 06-12 x 44 24-48 Local mean time Noon time (since morning birth) Local mean time Table IV correction for 9 hours (LMT) -do- for 5 minutes (LMT) Corrected time interval (CTI)

HINDU PREDICTIVE ASTROLOGY CHAPTER 56 SUB LORD CALCULATION. The sub-lord is a calculation by Late Prof. K.S. Krishnamurty, who has brought about his own way of prediction in which Sub lord is given more importance. The sub-lord is nothing but all the nakshatras are divided into 9 as per the Vimshottari dasha system as given below: The longitude of a constellation is 13 deg. 20 minutes. For Example, take the constellation Aswhini, longitude of which is 13 deg. 20 min., which is 800 minutes when converted into minutes. (13 x 60 = 780 + 20 min). The calculation for sub lord of aswhini i.e., from 00 deg 00 min to 13 deg.20 min are as follows: Aswhini lord being Ketu, the sub-lord is started from Ketu. Hence 800 x Ketus Vimshottari dasha divided by 120 years of total Vimshottari dasha. 800 x 7 ------120 long of VMD star (A) 800 800 800 800 800 800 800 800 800 (B) 7 20 6 10 7 18 16 19 17 Total Result Duration VMD (minutes) D-M-S (C ) 120 120 120 120 120 120 120 120 120 A*B/C 46.67 133.33 40.00 66.67 46.67 120.00 106.67 126.67 113.33 00-46-40 02-13-20 00-40-00 01-06-40 00-46-40 02-00-00 01-46-40 02-06-40 01-53-20 Longitude Sub-lord

Ketu Ven Sun Mon Mar Rah Jup Sat Mer

Note : VDM means Vimshottari Maha Dasha D-M-S == Degrees, Minutes, Seconds Similar way for other nakshatras. After Aswini, next Nakshatra is Bharani, whose lord is Venus. Hence the sub-lord starts from Venus. For example if a planet or asc. Falls within 00-00-00 to 00-46-40 degrees in Aries, we can say the sub-lord of that planet is Ketu. If Sun is placed in the above longitude, we can say the sign lord is Mars, Star Lord is Ketu and Sub lord is also Ketu and so on.

HINDU PREDICTIVE ASTROLOGY CHAPTER 58. ABHIJIT NAKSHATRA. Abijit (Abhijeet) Nakshatra is an existing constellation (Star - Nakshatra) in the stellar system. But the same is said to have been de-activated by the Lord Sri Maha Vishnu after the Mahabharatha War. However, persons born after four hours of Uthrashada (Uthiradam) nakshatra are said to be part of this Abhijt (Abijeet) nakshatram. It is considered that Last part or end of 4th quarter in Uthirashada and two hours in the first part of or 1st Charan or Quarter of Shravan are considered as Abhijeet Nakshatram. ABHIJIT LAGNA. The 4th lagna from Suns position is called Abhijit lagna. For example if the Sun is placed in Aries on a particular day, the fourth sign from Aries is Cancer. Hence Cancer is the Abhiji lagna, and so on.

Saturn -- You are aware that Saturn takes 2 years to cross over one sign and for the entire rashi Chakra it takes 30 years. When Saturn reaches 12th sign from your natal moon (the sign in which moon is placed in your original birth chart) your Saade saath (or elartha shani) starts. This will continue till Saturn leaves your 2nd sign from natal moon. So when Saturn transits 12th, 1st and 2nd signs of your natal moon you will be experiencing Saade Sath Shani.

HINDU PREDICTIVE ASTROLOGY CHAPTER 61 ERECTING THE HOROSCOPE.

The books of ephemeries are giving planetary positions for every day or every alternative days at 5.30 a.m. or 5.30 pm. The most read ephemery is the one made by N.C. Lahiri. In order to erect the horoscope we need to find out the planetary position for any given time and date. For example: Female born on 02.05.1979 at 12.05 hours (earning morning of 02.05.1979) at Hyderabad, India. The time lapsed from 5.30 am on 01.05.1979 to the time of birth i.e., 12.05 am (midnight of 01.05.1979) on 02.05.1979 is : Time of birth: 24-05 pm Ephemery pnt: 05-30 am Difference : 18-35 hours Hence the total time lapsed upto the time of birth is 18 hours 35 minutes, which when converted into minutes is 1115 minutes (18x 60=1080 + 35). 24 hours when converted into minutes, we get 1440 minutes. The planetary position is taken from NC Lahiri ephemeries as below:

What is missing in the above Rashi Chakra is the Ascendant or lagna. Now shall we make the Ascendant as per chapter CHAPTER 55

71

HINDU PREDICTIVE ASTROLOGY CHAPTER 62 LAGNAM CALCULATION (II)

Lagnam or Ascendant means the time of birth. There are 12 rashis and 24 hours in a day. Hence each rashi is having approximately 2 hours. The earth on its axis rotates one time in 24 hours. The calculation for lagna is as given below:-There are two types of birth: before noon birth and after noon birth. BEFORE NOON BIRTH. All births before 12.00 noon are called before noon births. Suppose, one person is borne at 00.05 a.m. on 02-May 1979 at Hyderabad. The calculation for lagna is as follows as per book Table of Ascendants by NC Lahiri:-Hr-min-sec 00-05-00 00-24-48 09-05-12 12-00-00 11-59-60 09-05-12 02-54-48 00-00-20 00-00-09 02-54-77 02-55-17

Indian standard time (time of birth) Local mean time correction (for Ernakulam). Local mean time Noon time (since morning birth) Local mean time Table IV correction for 9 hours (LMT) -do- for 5 minutes (LMT) Corrected time interval (CTI)

The table of ASC is (for 7-52) as per table The table of ASC is (for 7-48) as per table Difference Hence difference between 7-52 and 7-48 is 4 minutes. Difference between signs is 59 minutes.

If any planet or Asc falls in Aswini 1st pada I.e., 00 deg to 3 deg 20 min in Aries, in the Navamsa chakra, please put that planet or Asc in Aries only.

Suppose one person born on 14 April to 17 april and that case the longitude of sun is 0 deg to 3-20 then in the navamsa chakra place sun in Aries only. Once the longidue of Sun is in between 3-20 to 6-40 then place Sun in Taurus. The same way for other planets. The same way for other planets who are placed in other stars as per the table above.

CHAPTER 64 TRANSIT

The transit of planets is very important in predictive part. Following are the planets transit time in a sign.

Sun Moon Mars Mercury Jupiter Venus Saturn Rahu Ketu Asc

30 days 2 days 45 days 30 to 40 days 1 year (including retrograde time) 30 to 40 days 2 years (including retrograde time) 18 months 18 months 2 hours (Asc is not a planet, but a mathematical point)

75

HINDU PREDICTIVE ASTROLOGY CHAPTER 65 CLUE TO ASC CALCULATION. There will be 12 Ascendants in a day, each having approx. 2 hours, thus totaling to 24 hours, which is one day again. The ascendant is always counted from the position of Sun. For example on April 14th every year Sun enters Aries as per Nirayana. From Sun rise to approx for next hours Asc will be in Aries. Say 8 a.m. From 8 a.m. onwards upto 10 a.m. (apprx.) Asc will be in Taurus and so on. Similar way from May 15th every onwards the Asc starts at sun rise at Taurus, since Sun will be in Taurus as per Nirayana. The same way for other signs.

Mar Rah

Sun Mon Mer Chart at 11.04 a.m. on 17th May 2007 at Hyderabad, India Jup

Ven Asc 16 deg 14min Sat Ket

Jup == R means retrograde. Other planets are in direct motion. Of course, Rahu and Ketu are always in retrograde motion. Today is 17th May 2007 and Sun is in Taurus at around 2 degrees. At the time of Sun rise on 17th May 2007, the ascendant (lagna) shall be at Taurus. At 11.04 a.m. Asc travelled upto Cancer at 16 deg 14 minutes.
This is a clue to Asc calculation.

HINDU PREDICTIVE ASTROLOGY ASTRONOMY SUN

The Sun is the most prominent feature in our solar system. It is the largest object and contains approximately 98% of the total solar system mass. One hundred and nine Earths would be required to fit across the Sun's disk, and its interior could hold over 1.3 million Earths. The Sun's outer visible layer is called the photosphere and has a temperature of 6,000C (11,000F). This layer has a mottled appearance due to the turbulent eruptions of energy at the surface. Solar energy is created deep within the core of the Sun. It is here that the temperature (15,000,000 C; 27,000,000 F) and pressure (340 billion times Earth's air pressure at sea level) is so intense that nuclear reactions take place. This reaction causes four protons or hydrogen nuclei to fuse together to form one alpha particle or helium nucleus. The alpha particle is about .7 percent less massive than the four protons. The difference in mass is expelled as energy and is carried to the surface of the Sun, through a process known as convection, where it is released as light and heat. Energy generated in the Sun's core takes a million years to reach its surface. Every second 700 million tons of hydrogen are converted into helium ashes. In the process 5 million tons of pure energy is released; therefore, as time goes on the Sun is becoming lighter The chromosphere is above the photosphere. Solar energy passes through this region on its way out from the center of the Sun. Faculae and flares arise in the chromosphere. Faculae are bright luminous hydrogen clouds which form above regions where sunspots are about to form. Flares are bright filaments of hot gas emerging from sunspot regions. Sunspots are dark depressions on the photosphere with a typical temperature of 4,000C (7,000F). The corona is the outer part of the Sun's atmosphere. It is in this region that prominences appears. Prominences are immense clouds of glowing gas that erupt from the upper chromosphere. The outer region of the corona stretches far into space and consists of particles traveling slowly away from the Sun. The corona can only be seen during total solar eclipses. The Sun appears to have been active for 4.6 billion years and has enough fuel to go on for another five billion years or so. At the end of its life, the Sun will start to fuse helium into heavier elements and begin to swell up, ultimately growing so large that it will swallow the Earth. After a billion years as a red giant, it will suddenly collapse into a white dwarf -- the final end product of a star like ours. It may take a trillion years to cool off completely

HINDU PREDICTIVE ASTROLOGY

ASTRONOMY MERCURY Mercury was named by the Romans after the fleet-footed messenger of the gods because it seemed to move more quickly than any other planet. It is the closest planet to the Sun, and second smallest planet in the solar system. Its diameter is 40% smaller than Earth and 40% larger than the Moon. It is even smaller than Jupiter's moon Ganymede and Saturn's moon Titan. If an explorer were to step onto the surface of Mercury, he would discover a world resembling lunar terrain. Mercury's rolling, dust-covered hills have been eroded from the constant bombardment of meteorites. Fault-cliffs rise for several kilometers in height and extend for hundreds of kilometers. Craters dot the surface. The explorer would notice that the Sun appears two and a half times larger than on Earth; however, the sky is always black because Mercury has virtually no atmosphere to cause scattering of light. As the explorer gazes out into space, he might see two bright stars. One appearing as cream colored Venus and the other as blue colored Earth. Until Mariner 10, little was known about Mercury because of the difficulty in observing it from Earth telescopes. At maximum elongation it is only 28 degrees from the Sun as seen from Earth. Because of this, it can only be viewed during daylight hours or just prior to sunrise or after sunset. When observed at dawn or dusk, Mercury is so low on the horizon that the light must pass through 10 times the amount of Earth's atmosphere than it would if Mercury was directly overhead. During the 1880's, Giovanni Schiaparelli drew a sketch showing faint features on Mercury. He determined that Mercury must be tidally locked to the Sun, just as the Moon is tidally locked to Earth. In 1962, radio astronomers looked at radio emissions from Mercury and determined that the dark side was too warm to be tidally locked. It was expected to be much colder if it always faced away from the Sun. In 1965, Pettengill and Dyce determined Mercury's period of rotation to be 59 +- 5 days based upon radar observations. Later in 1971, Goldstein refined the rotation period to be 58.65 +- 0.25 days using radar observations. After close observation by the Mariner 10 spacecraft, the period was determined to be 58.646 +- 0.005 days. Although Mercury is not tidally locked to the Sun, its rotational period is tidally coupled to its orbital period. Mercury rotates one and a half times during each orbit. Because of this 3:2 resonance, a day on Mercury (sun rise to sun rise) is 176 Earth days long as shown by the following diagram

HINDU PREDICTIVE ASTROLOGY ASTRONOMY -- VENUS

Venus, the jewel of the sky, was once know by ancient astronomers as the morning star and evening star. Early astronomers once thought Venus to be two separate bodies. Venus, which is named after the Roman goddess of love and beauty, is veiled by thick swirling cloud cover. Astronomers refer to Venus as Earth's sister planet. Both are similar in size, mass, density and volume. Both formed about the same time and condensed out of the same nebula. However, during the last few years scientists have found that the kinship ends here. Venus is very different from the Earth. It has no oceans and is surrounded by a heavy atmosphere composed mainly of carbon dioxide with virtually no water vapor. Its clouds are composed of sulfuric acid droplets. At the surface, the atmospheric pressure is 92 times that of the Earth's at sea-level. Venus is scorched with a surface temperature of about 482 C (900 F). This high temperature is primarily due to a runaway greenhouse effect caused by the heavy atmosphere of carbon dioxide. Sunlight passes through the atmosphere to heat the surface of the planet. Heat is radiated out, but is trapped by the dense atmosphere and not allowed to escape into space. This makes Venus hotter than Mercury. A Venusian day is 243 Earth days and is longer than its year of 225 days. Oddly, Venus rotates from east to west. To an observer on Venus, the Sun would rise in the west and set in the east. Until just recently, Venus' dense cloud cover has prevented scientists from uncovering the geological nature of the surface. Developments in radar telescopes and radar imaging systems orbiting the planet have made it possible to see through the cloud deck to the surface below. Four of the most successful missions in revealing the Venusian surface are NASA's Pioneer Venus mission (1978), the Soviet Union's Venera 15 and 16 missions (1983-1984), and NASA's Magellan radar mapping mission (1990-1994). As these spacecraft began mapping the planet a new picture of Venus emerged. Venus' surface is relatively young geologically speaking. It appears to have been completely resurfaced 300 to 500 million years ago. Scientists debate how and why this occurred. The Venusian topography consists of vast plains covered by lava flows and mountain or highland regions deformed by geological activity. Maxwell Montes in Ishtar Terra is the highest peak on Venus. The Aphrodite Terra highlands extend almost half way around the equator. Magellan images of highland regions above 2.5 kilometers (1.5 miles) are unusually bright, characteristic of moist soil. However, liquid water does not exist on the surface and cannot account for the bright highlands. One theory suggests that the bright material might be composed of metallic compounds. Studies have shown the material might be iron pyrite (also know as "fools gold"). It is unstable on the plains but would be stable in the highlands. The material could also be some type of exotic material which would give the same results but at lower concentrations. Venus is scarred by numerous impact craters distrubuted randomly over its surface. Small craters less that 2 kilometers (1.2 miles) are almost non-existent due to the heavy Venusian atmosphere. The exception occurs when large meteorites shatter just before impact, creating crater clusters. Volcanoes and volcanic features are even more numerous. At least 85% of the Venusian surface is covered with volcanic rock. Hugh lava flows, extending for hundreds of kilometers, have flooded the lowlands creating vast plains. More than 100,000 small shield volcanoes dot the surface along with hundreds of large volcanos. Flows from volcanos have produced long sinuous channels extending for hundreds of kilometers, with one extending nearly 7,000 kilometers (4,300 miles).

HINDU PREDICTIVE ASTROLOGY

Giant calderas more than 100 kilometers (62 miles) in diameter are found on Venus. Terrestrial calderas are usually only several kilometers in diameter. Several features unique to Venus include coronae and arachnoids. Coronae are large circular to oval features, encircled with cliffs and are hundreds of kilometers across. They are thought to be the surface expression of mantle upwelling. Archnoids are circular to elongated features similar to coronae. They may have been caused by molten rock seeping into surface fractures and producing systems of radiating dikes and fractures

ASTRONOMY -- SATURN
Saturn is the sixth planet from the Sun and is the second largest in the solar system with an equatorial diameter of 119,300 kilometers (74,130 miles). Much of what is known about the planet is due to the Voyager explorations in 1980-81. Saturn is visibly flattened at the poles, a result of the very fast rotation of the planet on its axis. Its day is 10 hours, 39 minutes long, and it takes 29.5 Earth years to revolve about the Sun. The atmosphere is primarily composed of hydrogen with small amounts of helium and methane. Saturn is the only planet less dense than water (about 30 percent less). In the unlikely event that a large enough ocean could be found, Saturn would float in it. Saturn's hazy yellow hue is marked by broad atmospheric banding similar to, but fainter than, that found on Jupiter. The wind blows at high speeds on Saturn. Near the equator, it reaches velocities of 500 meters a second (1,100 miles an hour). The wind blows mostly in an easterly direction. The strongest winds are found near the equator and velocity falls off uniformly at higher latitudes. At latitudes greater than 35 degrees, winds alternate east and west as latitude increases. Saturn's ring system makes the planet one of the most beautiful objects in the solar system. The rings are split into a number of different parts, which include the bright A and B rings and a fainter C ring. The ring system has various gaps. The most notable gap is the Cassini [kahSEE-nee] Division, which separates the A and B rings. Giovanni Cassini discovered this division in 1675. The Encke [EN-kee] Division, which splits the A Ring, is named after Johann Encke, who discovered it in 1837. Space probes have shown that the main rings are really made up of a large number of narrow ringlets. The origin of the rings is obscure. It is thought that the rings may have been formed from larger moons that were shattered by impacts of comets and meteoroids. The ring composition is not known for certain, but the rings do show a significant amount of water. They may be composed of icebergs and/or snowballs from a few centimeters to a few meters in size. Much of the elaborate structure of some of the rings is due to the gravitational effects of nearby satellites. This phenomenon is demonstrated by the relationship between the F-ring and two small moons that shepherd the ring material. Radial, spoke-like features in the broad B-ring were also found by the Voyagers. The features are believed to be composed of fine, dust-size particles. The spokes were observed to form and dissipate in the time-lapse images taken by the Voyagers. While electrostatic charging may create spokes by levitating dust particles above the ring, the exact cause of the formation of the spokes is not well understood.

HINDU PREDICTIVE ASTROLOGY BADHAKA AND YOGAKRAKA Badhaka or house of obstruction details are as follows: For all Chara (Moveable sign) born 11th house shall be the house of obstruction (badhaka sthaan) For all Sthira (Fixed sign) born sthaan)
9th

house shall be the house of obstruction (badhaka

For all Dwi-swabhava (Dual sign born) 07th house shall be the house of obstruction (badhaka sthaan) Based upon this the following table may be perused: Sign Aries (Mesh) Taurus (Vrishabh) Gemini (Mithun) Cancer (Katak) Leo (Simha) Virgo (Kanya) Libra (Tula) Scorpio (Vrischik) Sagittarius (Dhanu) Capricorn (Makar) Aquarius (Kumbh) Pisces (Meen) Badhaka Sthaan 11th 09th 07th 11th 09th 07th 11th 09th 07th 11th 09th 07th Badhaka Sign Aquarius Capricorn Sagittarius Taurus Aries Pisces Leo Cancer Gemini Scorpio Libra Virgo Badhaka Sign lord Saturn Saturn Jupiter Venus Mars Jupiter Sun Moon Mercury Mars Venus Gemini

Besides Badhaka lord, if any planet posited in Badhaka house will become a badhaka. A planet posited in the star of either lord of Badhaka or occupant of badhaka also become badhaka. Yoagaraka Yogakaraka is a planet become lord of Quadrant (1,4,7,10) and Trine (1,5,9) for a particular sign. The meaning of yogakaraka is most beneficial For example, if person is born in Libra or Taurus born Saturn shall be the yogakaraka planet. Saturn becomes lord of quadrant house as well as a trine house. For Taurus born (including Moon sign), Saturn becomes lord of 9 and 10. For Libra born (including Moon sign) Saturn becomes lord of 4 and 5. Similarly, for Cancer or Leo born, Mars shall be the lord of Quadrant and Trine and as such Mars is the yogakaraka for these two signs (both for Ascendant as well as for Moon.) For OCCUPANT IS STRONGER
