WHY MANGAL, SHANI AND GURU HAS SPECIFIC DRISHTI

MANGAL : Everyone needs energy for every aspect be it any work and for this reason it is given additional drishti. The main work of mankind is to live and to protect himself and since 8TH HOUSE is of life / death, it is given that drishti. Any person who does any work, does for his satisfaction (sukh) and since 4TH HOUSE is of sukh, it is given that drishti. Thus 1 – 7 – 8

GURU : Everyone needs education and one has to implement whatever he has studied in education. Whatever knowledge you have acquired, that should be implemented in the right manner for the betterment or ourselves and mankind. For eg : a sword has been given for fighting. We have a sword and now we will learn how to fight with it and that also as per one’s ability in using the right weapon at the right time and thus a teacher will help to learn. 5th HOUSE is the Prapti Stan and 9th House is the destiny/dharm and therefore 5 & 9 house. Thus 5 – 7 – 9

SHANI : We have learnt how to use weapons and now we need to implement them for self defence or for any other reason and for that we have to work and Shani helps to work. Parakram / Purusharth is done through 3rd House. Now it is also important to know where we have to use our weapon and for that 10th House – karyashetra. Thus 3 – 7 -10

General character of rashi:

Venus two rashi’s are of Bhoomi(vrish) and vayu tatva.(Tula)
Mercury two rashi’s are of Bhoomi(virgo) and vayu tatva.(mithun)

Hence Saturn, Venus and Mercury are friends

Like wise...

Sun’s Leo is of pure Agnitatva.(fire element)
Moon’s Cancer is of pure Jaltatva.(water element)
Jupiter’s two rashi’s are of Jal and Agni tatva.
Mars two rashi’s are of Jal and Agni tatva

Hence Jupiter, mars, sun and moon are friends.

But still all Rashi’s are different w.r.t to their water content.

Saturn:-
Makar – Bhoomi(earth) tatva- 100% Jal(water), Kumbh – Vayu(air) tatva- 50% Jal.
Venus:-

Sun:-
Simh- Agni tatva- 0% Jal.
Moon:-
Kark- Jal tatva- 100% Jal.

Before going ahead lets also understand that...

Grah gives rise to “Iccha Shakti”
Rashi gives rise to “Gyana Shakti”
Nakshatra gives rise to “Kriya shakti”

NOW THE REASONS:

1) Saturn has control over Air, so primary significator of the Air; hence called as vayu tatva grah (Mithun(Gemini), Tula(libra) and kumbh(aquarius) are the vayu(air element) tatva rashi therefore falls under the jurisdiction of Saturn).

As a result Saturn is more comfort table in Vayu tatva rashi.

Now why Saturn is not exalted in other vayu tatva rashi’s like Mithun and kumbh?

2 basic reasons:

a) Relationship of Saturn with Venus is stronger than Saturn’s relationship with Mercury, though Saturn is friendly to both but Venus is the favorite chap of Saturn, hence Saturn is not exaltated in Mithun. As per lal kitab, there is an inherent connection between Saturn and Venus, they both comes to each other rescue when caught in a problem. You all must have seen that the most eventful antardasha dasha in the mahadasha of Saturn is that of Venus, now whether it’s GOOD or BAD, it depends on many factors.

Kumbh is Saturn’s own and mooltrikond sign, hence this possibility is also ruled out for Saturn’s exaltation.

So Saturn is exalted in Tula.

Note: Saturn is not exalted in Venus other sign, i.e. Taurus because that is a bhoomi tatva(earth sign) and also not the mooltrikond sign of Venus.

b) Another reasoning is, Mithun rashi is a nirjal rashi (0% water content), kumbh is a ardhjal rashi (50% water content) and Tula is a padjal rashi (25% water content), Tula is preferred by Saturn also because Saturn is the enemy of moon i.e. jal tatva planet, since kumbh has 50% water content, it manages that by owning it but is not completely delighted over there, on the other extreme Mithun is a nirjal rashi which is also not preferred by Saturn. Hence exalted in padjal rashi tula….now why exactly Saturn does not prefer Nirjal rashi(0 % water content sign)….the answer lies in the formation of our planet where water’s share
is itself 70 %...only few planets like sun(which itself is fire element) prefer the Nirjal sign……and that is the reason why Moon gets uncomfortable in Mithun and virgo signs…if not aspected by shubh planets… more so because for moon mercury is the enemy…anyways lets move ahead…

2) General character of Libra rashi matches with that of Saturn i.e. both are judicious in dealings, hence Exalted in Tula.
3) Libra is the sign of balance and Saturn is the Planet of balance or Justice, hence Exalted in Tula.
4) Libra rules the west direction and Saturn gains Directional strength in 7th house which coincides with west direction. This could be understood as per the kalchakra too, hence exalted in Tula.
5) Libra is the southern sign and Saturn’s both rashi’s Makar and kumbh coincides with south direction (10th house and 11th house) as per the kalchakra system, hence exalted in Tula.
6) Both Tula and Saturn rules dhatuu (or metal)
7) Libra rules past tense and Saturn is famous for giving the results of the past karma bluntly.
Note: Icha shakti of Saturn (Planet) gains maximum Gyan shakti in Tula Rashi.

There are many other reasons and point of views, for instance;

1) Saturn turns exalted where sun turns neech, to understand this is deep, I have to write another article on why sun gets neech in Tula…again there are many reasons…but main ones are Swati nakshatra ruled by rahu (most dreaded enemy of Sun) lies in Tula rashi, lord venus is the shatru of sun (this shatruta aggravates in the mooltrikond sign of Venus) etc etc…anyways lets remain focused on Saturn exaltation factors.
2) For many the answer lies in the nakshatras of Tula rashi, 2 padas of chitra(lord mars), 4 padas of Swati(lord rahu) and 3 padas of vishakha(lord Jupiter)….will explain from this angle in detail…ASAP

WATCH PREDICTIVE TECHNIQUE IN VEDIC ASTROLOGY

WATCH PREDICTIVE TECHNIQUE            

The small Hand (Hour Hand) in the clock/watch is called Udhaya (Lagna).
The big Hand (Minute Hand) in the clock/watch is called Aruda (Moon)
There are 12 divisions in the clock/watch which are equal to 12 Rasis/signs



                        1 Hour = 1 Udhaya
                        5 Minutes = 1 Aruda

HOUR DIVISION
IN CLOCK/WATCH
RASI
From 12 To 01
Mesha
From 01 To 02
Vrishaba
From 02 To 03
Mithuna
From 03 To 04
Kataka
From 04 To 05
Simha
From 05 To 06
Kanya
From  06 To 07
Thula
From 07 To 08
Vrichika
From 08 To 09
Dhanus
From 09 To 10
Makara
From 10 To 11
Kumba
From 11 To 12
Meena

The count from the division where the small hand is positioned to the division where the big hand is positioned in the clock/watch will indicate the success or failure of an event.
If the count is an odd number (1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11) the answer to the question is YES
If the count is an even number (2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12) the answer to the question is NO
The counting should be in clockwise direction
With this technique all YES or NO questions can be answered



Example-1



In example-1 the small hand is in vrichika, the big hand is in Mithuna.
From Vrichika to Mithuna the count is 8 which is an even number.
If any question asked at this time the answer will be NO

Example-2



In example-2 the small hand is in vrichika, the big hand is in Kanya.
From Vrichika to Kanya the count is 11 which is an odd number.
If any question asked at this time the answer will be YES

Exalted Planets and Debilitated Planets

NOW I WILL DISCUSS ABOUT   Exalted Planets and Debilitated Planets



Among the 12 Zodiac signs, there is one specific sign in which a planet functions at its optimum. This is called its sign of “Exaltation.” The sign which is opposite or 180 degrees apart in the Zodiac is known as the sign of “Debilitation” for that particular planet. In debilitated sign, the planet is weak and it causes many challenges and difficulties in the life of a native.

Basically in the sign of exaltation, the planet functions freely as per its true nature and delivers positive results in our life. Conversely, in the sign of debilitation, the planet cannot function freely because the nature of sign does not harmonize with the nature of planets. For all planets except Mercury, the signs of exaltation are different from the signs which are ruled by each planet. For Mercury, Virgo is the sign of exaltation and it is also ruled by Mercury.

Each Zodiac sign has a dimension of 30 degrees. There is a specific degree of exaltation and hence a specific degree of debilitation which are different for every planet. The Exaltation/Debilitation effects for each planet is highest in the specific degree of exaltation/debilitation. For the practical purpose of interpretation of chart, a planet is considered exalted/debilitated in a particular sign no matter at what degree, it is actually located in the specific sign.

In this article I want to share with you the explanation from the nature of the sign and the nature of planet why a particular sign is considered as the sign of exaltation/debilitation for the planet. The nature of a sign /planet is mainly determined by the elements it represents. Let us take each planet and understand for ourselves.


NOW QUESTION RAISE WHY IN PARTICULAR SIGN THEY ARE EXALTED AND DEBLITED,I WILL TELL YOU?


Sun : Its exaltation sign is Aries. The degree of exaltation is 10 degrees. Therefore, the sign of debilitation is Libra and degree of debilitation is also 10 degrees. The sun represents the fire element. It is the source of all energy which sustains the entire solar system including all life form on earth. When Sun is located in Aries which is a cardinal sign type with fire element; Sun functions best because of the commonality of the element. The cardinal nature of Aries gives it a clear direction for action. Fire element gives strong will, ambition, determination, leadership. On the higher level, Sun in Aries gives independence,clarity strong judgment and high values.

However, when Sun is located in Libra, it has to interact with Air element of Libra sign. The air and Fire together will create uncontrolled energy. It will become like a forest fire which will destroy everything without creating anything. In an individual, it will create pride and arrogance which in reality will be because of deep seated insecurity because Sun is weak and will be malefically disposed in its inimical sign ruled by Venus. It will give poor perception, lack of intelligence, low vitality , melancholy and fear, and deviousness or dishonesty.

Moon : Its exaltation sign is Taurus and debilitated sign is Scorpio. The degree of exaltation is 3 degrees. The moon represents water and indicates the water element in general in the chart. Taurus is a fixed sign with earth element. When water flows through earth it makes the earth fertile; fixed sign indicates nurturing. Fertile earth nurtures all planets and all living organisms. Fixed types are firm ,stable and determined about who they are and what they do. Exalted Moon in Taurus brings the best of lunar qualities in the person. They seek balance and harmony in individual relationships and in their organizations of immediate environment. It gives a strong sense of form and beauty, the best of lunar qualities It can make them very romantic and devotional and are often votaries of the idea that all is love manifesting the highest qualities of Venus, the ruler of Taurus combined with the highest qualities of Moon.

Moon gets debilitated in Scorpio which is a fixed sign but with water element. This is kind of excess water like flood which destroys all the crop. Being fixed sign the water does not flow. It gets stagnated. In a person this creates excess of unbalanced lunar energies of past baggage of emotion and feelings. Afflictions to the moon can show personality disorders, difficulties in relating to other people and emotional disturbances. It causes lunacy ,as our language reflects in extreme circumstances specially if it conjuncts with lunar nodes in Scorpio. However, there is an exception, Scorpio being ruled by Mars is also a highly mystical sign and can be a vessel for strong psychic powers, occult etc. Mind is purely dependent consciousness, it has no real nature of its own. As such, it can function in one of the two ways. It can reflect inner nature of things or their outer appearance. If there are favorable Jupiter/Venus or Saturn in the chart, Moon in Scorpio can actually harness the excess water for high spiritual and psychic development and is often found in the charts of highly evolved Yogi and Tantrics.




Mars : Mars is the great planet of energy and it also represents fire element. The essential difference between Mars and Sun is; Mars is purely energy whereas Sun is energy with soul. The exalted sign for Mars is Capricorn which is a cardinal sign with earth element. The degree of exaltation is 28 degrees.

In Capricorn Mars is like fire controlled and enclosed in a hearth made of earth, which can be directed for useful purposes like a steam engine or to give warmth and comfort. People with Mars in Capricorn has power, strength, courage and aggression almost like Sun but more to carry out mundane tasks in life without the higher goals and vales of Sun.

The debilitated sign of Mars is Cancer which is also cardinal sign but with water element. This water simply kills the fire and energy of Mars. Mars simply becomes confused, its energy gets lost in unwanted emotion and passion. Its energy gets dissipated in competition, argument and conflict because such things are usually the product of misplaced emotions.

Mercury : Mercury signifies on one hand earth element as well as it signifies ether because of its subtle nature. This is the reason why both the own signs are dual sign types- Gemini and Virgo. Virgo is also the exalted sign for Mercury as mentioned earlier. The degree of exaltation is 15 degrees.

Virgo is dual sign type with earth element. Mercury is the great messenger of the cosmos. He is the planet which represents speech, communication and commerce on all levels. Mercury in Virgo creates the perfect balance between duality and its ethereal qualities and the practicality or solidity of the earth element. Mercury represents intellect, analysis, transaction and exchange. Exalted mercury establishes our values in life. Material values, prices, standards of measurement and comparison, artistic values as well as spiritual values. Exalted Mercury in Virgo gives great healing power which the person uses to heal and serve mankind.

Mercury is debilitated in Pisces which is also dual sign with water element. This water element completely dilutes the analytical intellect of Mercury in a whirlpool of misplaced emotions and impractical ideas. People with debilitated Mercury are not exactly fools but are confused. They are enthusiastic but not always wisely so. Debilitated Mercury can make a person lack in boundaries. They are moved by sentiments which are not genuine and when frustrated can suffer from self pity. They can be amorphous, hard to pin down and often appear in whatever way is necessary to please or placate others or they make commitments without any intention of fulfilling them. They just respond to the influence of the moment.

Jupiter : The wise Jupiter by its spiritual nature is said to represent ether. The two signs ruled by Jupiter, Sagittarius and Pisces are both dual in nature. Jupiter is exalted in Cancer which is cardinal sign with water element. The degree of exaltation is 5 degrees.

Jupiter is considered as the most beneficial planet for mankind and will function best in Cancer because of the water element. Jupiter is the planet of wisdom or knowledge unlike Mercury which is the planet of information and exchange. Exalted Jupiter gives a person humility because of true wisdom. Exalted Jupiter makes him true guru who dispenses knowledge and wisdom for benefit of all. It is the planet of luck, divine grace which can fulfill all our needs without our seeking. When Jupiter is with us the universe is with us. In its exaltation in Cancer he is the Cosmic and Divine beneficence. Jupiter gets debilitated in Capricorn which is cardinal sign with earth element The earth element of Capricorn with it’s cardinal nature can make us too materialistic, too pragmatic. We can become too manipulative to achieve our goal. It will give us pride and arrogance and can make us too self centered. We can become over optimistic and over extend ourselves in every sphere of our life.






Venus : Venus signifies water element. Venus is exalted in Pisces. The degree of exaltation is 27 degrees. Pisces is a dual sign with water element. Unlike, Moon in Scorpio when there is excess water which is stagnated in fixed sign, the excess water element with Venus in Pisces is free flowing in dual sign. Venus in Pisces signifies infinite love and our infinite appreciation of beauty and passion.

Venus exalted in our chart signifies our aspiration to beauty and truth through which we can realize the power of infinite love beyond our senses and pleasure that is the love of God or realization of the God within ourselves. Venus gets debilitated in Virgo which is also dual sign with earth element. This earth element of debilitated Venus limits us to the pleasure of our senses only.

Debilitated Venus completely deprives our capacity to feel content and to become happy in life. She makes us vain, superficial and affected and turn us into a machine to seek sensual pleasure and luxury. Debilitated Venus signifies the pleasure that dissipates, exhausts and debilitates, the self indulgence which can ultimately leads to our destruction.

Saturn : Saturn signifies Air element. Saturn is exalted in Libra which is cardinal sign with air element. The degree of exaltation is 20 degrees. The excess air with Saturn in Libra allows Saturn to manifest its highest qualities in our life. In its normal or worst form it is the most malefic planet among all the planets.

Saturn brings limitation and obstruction, hindrance in self expression and self manifestation. As Jupiter is the great affirmer, Saturn is the great negator. Destruction is as important in evolution as creation is. In this respect Saturn is just opposite of Sun. In mythology Saturn is described as the son of Sun. Father and Sun are the greatest enemy of each other. Exalted Saturn can make us really free from our fear of the limitation of the material realm in our life. Saturn is the death that takes us beyond the limitations of the mortal life, which is the gateway to the eternal Exalted Saturn is the Yogi in meditation. He can teach us complete detachment and independence from material desires in our life. Exalted Saturn can also deliver enormous wealth and power in our mundane life by giving us the concentration and discipline and will power and seriousness to achieve most enduring success in our life.

Saturn gets debilitated in Aries which is fire element and cardinal sign. It is the same story where air and fire combines to deliver the uncontrolled miseries of the negative qualities of Saturn in our life. It will cause poverty, deprivation and want. It will keep us in bondage and will take away all our vitality on a physical or mental level.

Rahu/Ketu : The two lunar nodes are always 180 degrees opposite to each other.
Rahu is more like Saturn and has air element. Ketu is more like sun and Mars and has fire element. Rahu is exalted in Taurus and debilitated in Scorpio and for Ketu it is just the opposite. The degree of exaltation is supposed to be 20 degrees. Rahu and Ketu are said to be shadowy Karmic planets in our chart. They act as triggers to deliver both Karmic rewards and Karmic punishments in our life.

In fact astrologers do not have clear agreements on the signs of exaltation and debilitation of these two planets. Some consider that both of them are exalted in either Gemini or Virgo , the two signs of Mercury. Then both Sagittarius and Pisces the two signs of Jupiter will become the signs of debilitation of both these planets. Because of this confusion it is difficult to explain the logic behind it.

What you will find interesting that there are three distinct pairs among the family of planets. They are Sun and Saturn; Jupiter and Mars; Mercury and Venus. In each of these pairs, the exaltation/debilitation signs gets exchanged. Sun signifies life. Saturn signifies death. Jupiter signifies wisdom and Mars signifies action. Mercury signifies intellect and Venus signifies emotion. Truly these 3 pairs are pairs of opposites.

Manglik Yoga/Dosha and its effects

Hi everyone.

When Mars is placed in 1st 4th 7th 8th or 12th house in horoscope, the native is stated to be a Manglik....Though the Manglik Dosha may or may not exist, depending on various factors...

Cancellation of Manglik Dosha..

Following are the conditions where Manglik Dosha is stated to be cancelled.

1. If Mars is with Moon/Jupiter/Rahu.

2. If Mars is debilated/exalted/retrograde/combusted/own house.

3. Mars in 12th house in the house of Venus/Mercury.

Note: There are other conditions also that people believe and many text books have a mention of them...(Like manglik dosha is cancelled for Cancer/Leo ascendancts as Mars is YogKaraka..or if Mars is in friends' house, it is cancelled..etc...But acc to my knowledge and personal experience, the above 3 are the most dominating conditions...)

Following are the implications of the Manglik Yoga/Dosha...

Firsly, for Manglik Dosha (1st.4th and 7th house )if Mars in its own/exaltation/mooltrikona sign, StrongRuchak Mahapurusha Yoga is formed..The native is quite daring in that case and also has leadership qualities. But if Mars is a functional malefic or baadhak grah for an ascendant, then the good affects of this Yoga are highly compromised...Same happens if Mars is afflicted by some unfavourable conjugations and affects.

Following are some results of Manglik dosha in various houses. Please note that these results give only a general idea...And the net outcome may wary depending upon other astrological factors:

Manglik Dosha in 1st House(Ascendant)-->Makes the native ambitious and hard-working... The negative point here is that it can also sometimes degrade the personality of an individual and his temparament. Manglik dosha in the lagana is also called One man's army..the native is quite stubborn and works acc to his wishes/principles. There may also be some head injuries or blood diseases.

Manglik dosha in 4th house--> Can spoil the health of the mother/relation with mother....The native feels restless at home and usually feels much better when he/she is away from his home or birthplace...The native also feels thirsty...Aggressive mother.(Heart troubles or chest congestion if mars is afflicted)

Manglik Dosha in 7th house--> Late marriage/ tensions in married life...arguements with spouse..business partnership may be unsuccessful..The native also becomes jealous and harsh.

Manglik Dosha in 8th house--> Stomach disorders/problems...kidney stones..backache problems...Native is fond of alcohol...Problems in married life(Very bad for Taurus/Libra Ascendants as it is lord of 7th house so affects the spouse)..

Manglik dosha in 12th house--> Native becomes quarallsome, may get a bad name without doing anything wrong...financial losses.

vedic astrology

Vedic astrology is the traditional system of astrology of India that is at least 4000 years old. It is also known as Jyotish, Indian astrology, Eastern astrology, or Hindu astrology. It has recently gained popularity in the West because of its accuracy in predicting events and major trends in our lives. Vedic astrology is an excellent tool for helping us understand our dharma or life purpose as well as for giving us specific timetables for making decisions about career, finances, relationship, health, spiritual growth, etc. It is based on the sidereal zodiac which calculates the positions of the planets according to observable astronomy.
