There are many ways of examining it. The
simplest principle is to see the
combination of the lords of trikonas
(trines) and kendras (quadrants). First
remember the following three points:
A. It has been stated earlier that trines
are known as Lakshmi sthanas or houses of
wealth.
B. It has also been stated the quadrants
are Vishnu sthanas or the houses of
protection.
C. It has also been stated that the lagna
lord is the lord both of the trikona and
the kendra.
Therefore the Rajayogas for each horoscope
will have to be seen thus.
1. Lagna lord and the fourth lord.
2. Lagna lord and the fifth lord.
3. Lagna lord and the seventh lord.
4. Lagna lord and the ninth lord.
5. Lagna lord and the tenth lord.
6. The fourth lord and the fifth lord.
7. The fourth lord and the ninth lord.
8. The fifth lord and the seventh lord.
9. The fifth lord and the tenth lord.
10. The ninth lord and the seventh lord.
11. The ninth lord and the tenth lord.
Importance of the Navamsha
In
Hindu Astrology what is apparent in the
birth horoscope may improve or deteriorate
in the Navamsha. It is never safe to make
any prediction without using the Navamsha.
So we will go deeper from here onwards.
Modern Researches
In
industrial times so many new opportunities
have opened up before today’s generations
that one can move from one job to another
and keep rising higher. Here the so-called
evil houses must have new meaning. What is
necessary to stress is not to undermine
the importance of houses other than the
Kendras and Trikonas.
Directional Strength
Out of the six-fold strength of planets
popular in Hindu Astrology, we shall make
use only of directional strength here,
which is to be seen as follows:
1. Jupiter and Mercury are strong in the
lagna.
2. The Moon and Venus are strong in the
fourth house.
3. Saturn is strong in the seventh house.
4. The Sun and Mars are strong in the
tenth house.
5. Rahu and Ketu in the kendras behave
like kendra lords and in trikonas behave
like trikona lords.
Note – Rahu and Ketu in the houses of
Jupiter, Dhanu or Meena are generally
good. If they are aspected by Jupiter they
acquire beneficence.
Importance of the Dasha
In view of the importance of making
careers early in life, it is of utmost
important to see what dasha one gets at
the right time for achieving what one has
achieved. A check-list is being given
here.
1. See what are the Rajayogas in a
horoscope, by which what is meant is the
combination of kendra and trikona lords.
2. See whether the planets promising high
things in the birth horoscope have
deteriorated in the navamsha or have
improved.
3. Look out for new meanings in the
changed times in which we are living.
4. Note the planets with directional
strength.
5. See what is the mahadasha and
antar-dasha or major and sub-periods
running at a given time.
6. Wherever necessary use the
sub-sub-period also. Some illustrations
will be given in the book.
7. Last will come transit of planets. To
give exaggerated importance to transits is
to mistake the feather of a bird for the
bird itself.
Note – A planet which remains at the same
place as in the birth horoscope is called
vargottama planet also.
8. Therefore add vargottama planets also.
9. Do not forget to examine *ARISHTHA
YOGA* first, before launching into a
prediction.
Note – An astrologer is not
infallible. Yet a sound and detailed
analysis of a horoscope will give to him a
life average of eighty percent correct
predictions. Often, I have given
predictions about big events, overlooking
the "X" element and gone wrong. In USA
those who expect one hour of reading from
an astrologer are themselves responsible
for driving an astrologer into a wrong
position. Sometimes, a horoscope may take
hours of verification for its correctness.
This fact is forgotten by many people who
blame the astrologer without being sure
that their horoscope is correctly cast
