• Shalini Dhasmana Preface

Most Astrologers are reluctant to use Jaimini System because they are under the impression that Jaimini is very difficult, and their fears are not totally unfounded. For this reason I am making an attempt to simplify this system, especially for the students of "All India federation of Astrologers' Societies". If I am able to succeed in developing their interest in Jaimini, I shall feel rewarded.

I will be mainly following the method developed by Shri K.N. Rao. At the same time, I will also be including principles given in other famous treatises of Jaimini Astrology. As I am just a child where Astrology is concerned, I am trying to avoid commenting on topics on which there are controversies among the Astrologers. I am grateful to Shri Arun Bansal, The President, and Smt Abha Bansal, The Treasurer, of All India federation of Astrologers Societies for giving me this opportunity to contribute my drop in the ocean of Astrology.

Before starting this little book. I seek Blessings of my Divine Guru" Lord Dakshina Moorti", with whose grace I have learnt Astrology.

Introduction

Second to 'PARASHAR; JAIMINI' is the greatest giant of Vedic Astrology. Parashar laid down the great principles of Vedic Astrology, while Jaimini went a step further and refined them.

"JAIMINI UPDESH SUTRAS" were composed by Maharishi Jaimini. "SUTRAS" are very short sanskrit Stanzas with very vast and profound meaning. They are like a ball of thread. The more they are opened out, the more meaning they reveal, and they are so brief that they can even be memorised. Who was Jaimini Maharishi? No one knows for sure! Some learned men think that he was a disciple of the famous Maharishi Ved Vyas, who was Parashar's son. They also feel that he is the famous author of 'Poorva Mimansa' and Jaimini Bharat'. Others feel that he is a later author who was very familiar with mantras. Who ever he was! his genius is reflected in the sutras he composed. These sutras are probably five thousand years old. They have stood the. test of time and time has turned them into beautiful Gems of prediction. The centuries have proved their authenticity and soundness. These sutras are 936 in number, spread over four Adhyayas.

The Greatest principle of Jaimini System is that the Study of Lagna is not enough. Apart from, Studying the horoscope from the regular Lagna, Moon and Sun; one must study it in the light of karkamsa Lagna, Arudha, upapada, Hora lagna and the different karkas. In this way the personality of the Jatak is split up into its fundamentals and studied.

Next come the karkatvas of the planets and houses. Parashar allotted permanent karkatvas to planets and houses. He also gave conditional karkatvas to the planets according to their lordship over different houses. Jaimini made prediction simpler, sharper and quicker by establishing limits of these karkatvas through the different char karaks.

Another striking feature of Jaimini is, the Jaimini Drishti or Aspects. Every student of Astrology knows that both planets and Rashis affect us and yet we consider the aspects of only the planets! What about the Rashis ? This factor was taken into account by Jaimini. He established that the rashis also aspected each other and so the planets placed in them also cast their Aspects along with their respective rashis. These aspects are quite different form Parashari aspects.

Apart from these main features, Jaimini has its own Yogas, Argalas and dashas. The most popular dasha for General use is Char dasha. Some of the other dashas as are Sthir dasha, Mandook dasha, Trikona dasha, Nirayan shoola dasha, Brahma dasha, Varnada dasha and Yogardha dasha. Some of them are conditional dashas while the others are used for a specific purpose. We shall be confining ourselves to Char dasha only in this book.

On the face of it, it many appear that Jaimini contradicts Parashar. This is only a misconception. If studied in-depth, it becomes clear that Jaimini is only a refinement of

1 An Introduction to Jaimini System

Parashari principles.

Traditional Astrologers mostly use Jaimini for 'Ayurdaya' or assessment of longevity. The time is ripe for us to make an effort to revive this great system. So that it can be used for the entire reading of the horoscope and for bringing fineness or 'sookshmta' in prediction.

The main purpose behind introducing Jaimini Astrology is to encourage the use of composite techniques of prediction. These have been adopted superbly by shri Mahadeva Pathak in his Jatak Tatva.He has used Jaimini principles alongside the Parashari principles to produce very good composite Techniques. In the end I would like to point out that most of the Astrological classics stress more on Negativity. As modern Astrologers we need to conduct researches to bring out the positive aspects of these principles and to modify and update them.

2 An Introduction to Jaimini System

1. Jaimini System at a Glance

The structure of Jaimini has been briefly mentioned in the Introduction. Now I propose to deal with the subject in a systematic manner so that it becomes easy to learn and understand.

The Karkas

These are the special karkas governing the different portfolios of the Jatak's life.

The seven planets namely Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn become the Seven char karaks, depending on their degrees in the descending order.

These are:

Atmakarak - Highest Degree

Amatyakarak

Bharati Karak

Matri Karak

Putra Karak

Gnati Karak V Darakarak - Lowest Degree

Note:

1. The degrees are considered between 0° to 30°. The signs are not counted.

2, Rahu, Ketu are not normally included in the Karkas. ·

The Lagnas

The different lagnas which become important are:

• Karkamsa lagna (K.L)

• Pada lagna (PL) (Arudha lagna)

• Upa-Pada Lagna(U.P)

• The Padas or Arudha for the twelve houses.

The karkamsa lagna and the pada lagna are the most important Lagnas and they

An Introduction to Jaimini System 3

are used for all important predictions. The karkamsa is the navamsa rashi of the Atmakarak marked in the lagna chart (D-1). The pada lagna is as many rashis ahead of lagna lord, as he is from lagna. The method of computation of these lagnas with illustration and their Importance will be explained subsequently.

THE ASPECTS (Drishti)

Jaimini aspects are somewhat different from Parashari aspects.

Parashari Aspects:

Parashari aspects are aspects of planets. Every planet aspects the seventh place from where it is placed. Jupiter Aspects the fifth, seventh and ninth place from itself. Mars aspects the fourth, Seventh and eighth place from itself and Saturn Aspects the third Seventh and tenth place from itself. Rahu and Ketu are not supposed to have drishtis because they are chaya grahas. They affect the axis in which they are placed. Some Astrologers consider their aspects to be like Jupiter.

Jaimini Aspects

Jaimini claimed that Rashis (The groups of fixed stars) also have their aspects. (the planets which are placed in them cast their aspects along with the Rashis in which they are placed.) 1. All Char Rashis i.e. Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn aspect the Sthir Rashis i.e. Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius, except the ones next to themselves. 2. All Sthir Rashis aspect Char Rashis, except the one next to themselves. 3. All Dwiswabhava Rashis i.e. Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces aspect each other.

Char Dasha

In Jaimini System the dashas are Rashi based, and not nakshatra based, as in the Parashari system.

Char dasha comprises of 12 Rashi dashas from Aries to Pisces. Each Mahadasha again has 12 Antardashas of the 12 Rashis. Each Antardasha further has 12 Pratyantar dashas and so on.

Because char dasha is a short dasha, going down to pratyantar level can give fairly close timing for events.

The dashas move either in DIRECT order i.e. - Aries, Taurus , Gemini, or in the

4 4 An Introduction to Jaimini System

INDIRECT order, i.e. Taurus- Aries, Pisces. The Antar and the Pratyantar dashas more similarly.

The period or the duration of the dashas is not fixed. It ranges between 1 and 12 years.

• The order or the sequence of the dasha and the years of the dashas are decided according to certain rules which will be explained and illustrated in the subsequent chapters.

Yogas

Jaimini has many yogas of different types. These are Dhana yogas, Raja Yogas and Arishta yogas, producing varied results. They are slightly different from the parashari yogas.

An Introduction to Jaimini System 5

2. The Karkas

Karkas are the Significator planets for different areas of the Jatak's life. There are two kinds of karkas. The Sthir karakas which are the permanent karkas and the Char karkas which are the conditional karakas according to the horoscope. For Prediction we combine both and then observe.

The Sthir Karakas

1. The stronger between Sun and Venus is for Father. *

2. The Stronger between Moon and Venus is for mother.

3. Mars is for younger brothers and sisters.

4. Mercury is for maternal and paternal uncles and Aunts. (Chacha chachi, mama mami)

5. Jupiter is for paternal Grand father( Dada). 6. Venus is for husband or wife.

6. Saturn is for sons.

7. Ketu is for Patemal and maternal female grand parents (Dadi, Nani).

8. Rahu is for Paternal and maternal male grandparents (Dada, Nana) The Char Karkas

These are decided according to the degrees of the planets. For this purpose, the Rashi is not considered. The degree between 0° to 30° needs to be seen.

Atma Karak(A.k) - is the planet with the highest degree. Amatya karak (Amk)- is the planet with the second highest degree.

Bhrati Karak (B.k) is the planet with the third highest degree. Matrikarak (M.k)- is the planet who is the fourth in this order. Putrakarak (P.k)- is the planet who is the next in this order. Gnati Karak (G.k)- is the planet with the second lowest degree.

Dara Karak (D.k)- is the planet with the lowest degree.

If two or three planets in the horoscope are with the same degree, then we need to differentiate between the karakas according to the minutes and seconds.

At this point one controversy needs do be mentioned. Some Astrologers favour the

6 An Introduction to Jaimini System

use of eight karkas instead of seven. They claim that there are eight karkas including Pitrukarka. Rahu becomes the eighth planet to be considered. Most astrologers However, favour the use of seven karkas. Parashar favours the use of combination of Char and Sthir karak instead of eight Karkas.

Functions of the char karkas

Atmakarak

Atmakarak denotes SELF . He is equivalent to the lagna and the lagna lord. He is very important in Jaimini. He also represents the matters relating to the first house of the horoscope i.e. Health and constitution nature, general pattern of life and prosperity.

Amatyakarak

Amatyakarak shows the Jataks mind, Intellect, Financial and professional prospects Amatya karak is extremely important for career and finance and second house matters.

Bhratikarak

Represents the parakram or the self efforts, co-born and the third house matters. Sometimes bharati karak can even be seen for father.

See Mars + Bk for brothers, and Sun + Bk for Father.

Matrikarak

Represents mother and matters relating to fourth house, school education, home vehicles and general happiness.

Putrakarak

Mainly represents children, education and the fifth house matters. He also becomes important for profession because of the connection between education and profession.

Gnatikarak

Represents cousins, debts, diseases and enemies. It covers the sixth house matters including the competitive spirit.

Darakarak

Darakarak mainly represents husband or wife and the seventh house matters.

3. The Lagnas

The use of different lagnas for studying the different aspects of the Jatak's personality is the greatest contribution of Jaimini Maharshi.

These lagnas are:

1. Karkamsa lagna.

2. Pada lagna or lagnarudha or Arudha lagna.

3. Upapadalagna.

4. The padas for the 12 houses.

5. Hora lagna.

6. Varnada lagna.

7. Bhava lagna.

8. Ghatika lagna.

9. Nisheka lagna.

Of all these lagnas, the most important are:

1. Karkamsa lagna.

2. Pada lagna or lagnarudha or Arudha lagna.

3. Upapada lagna.

4. The padas for the 12 houses.

Note - We will restrict ourselves to these lagnas in this book.

1. Karkamsa Lagna (Karkamsa)

Is the most important of the lagnas. It is equivalent to the Janma lagna. In this regard, it becomes the starting point in Jaimini.

How is karkamsa Identified

STEPS

1. Note who is the Atmakarak.

2. In Navamsa see in which Rashi atmakarak is placed.

3. Mark that Rashi in the lagna Kundali. That will be the karkamsa lagna.

10 An Introduction to Jaimini System

That rashi in navamsa is called SWAMSA. (स्वांश)

Definition : Karkamsa is the navamsa Rashi of the Atmakarak in the lagna kundali.

2. Pada Lagna

Pada lagna or Lagnarudha or Arudha lagna, is the second most important lagna. Whatever can be seen from Karkamsa can also be seen from Pada lagna.

How is Pada lagna Identified?

Steps

1. See how many house ahead of lagna is lagna lord placed.

2. Count that many houses ahead of lagna lord. That will be Pada lagna.

Note- Counting will start from the house where lagna lord is placed, that house will be counted as 1.

3. Upapada Lagna or Upapada

Up-pada lagna has its own importance. It is mainly seen for matters relating to marriage. It is also seen for a few other matters like children and Co-borns.

How is Upa Pada Identified?

Steps

1. See how many house ahead of 12th house is 12th lord placed.

2. Count that many houses ahead of 12th lord. That will be Upa Pada. Note-Counting will start from the house where lagna lord is placed, that house will be counted as1.

3. Arudha Padas of The 12 Houses

These are calculated exactly like the Pada lagna and the up pada. These are arudha for the 12 houses.

Arudha for-

1st house - Arudha lagna or Pada Lagna.

2nd house- Kosha Lagna

3rd House- Bhrati Lagna.

4th House- Sukha (Vahan)

5th House- Mantra

An Introduction to Jaimini System 11

6th House - Ripu

8th House-Mrityu

9th House - Bhagya

10th House - Rajya

11th House- Labha

12th House - Upa-pada.

1. Karkamsa (KL)

Atmakark is Saturn. In Navamsa he goes into Pisces Rashi, So Pisces becomes the Karkamsa.

2. Pada Lagna (P.L)

Lagna lord Mercury is placed five houses ahead of the lagna. Five houses ahead of mercury will be pada lagna. Five houses ahead of the lagna lord is Aquarius and so Aquarius becomes Pada Lagna.

3. Upapada (U.P)

12th House lord Venus is placed 6 houses ahead of 12th house. Six houses ahead of Venus is Pisces. So Pisces becomes Upa-Pada.

4. The Padas

The Padas (Arudha) for all 12 houses are calculated like pada lagna and up- pada.

For example 1 and 2 these have been marked. Example 2 The Lagnas Arudha

5. Char Dasha

Jaimini Maharishi created many dashas. These dashas are dashas of the 12 Rashis and not of the planets. These dashas are either conditional or specific. Conditional dasha can be used when the horoscope fulfils certain conditions. Specific dashas are used for some specific purpose.

Char Dasha is the most popular dasha of Jaimini. It can be used for general predictions. It is a short dasha and its duration varies between 1 year and 12 years. Since the Mahadasha is short, its Antardashas and pratyantar dashas are also very short. Consequently an event can be timed with great accuracy. Another advantage of this dasha is that, because it is a dasha of rashis and not of planets, one can successful apply it even if the birthtime is slightly inaccurate.

The Dasha can move in two ways. Its sequence can be in the direct order or the indirect order. Direct order is when the Dasha moves directly i.e. Aries Taurus, Gemini - Anti clockwise. Indirect order is when the dasha moves. Indirectly. i.e. Taurus- Aries- Pisces and so on-clockwise. The number of years for the dasha of each rashi are not fixed. They have to be calculated according to a number of Rules.

Though there are many Dashas of Jaimini, Char Dasha and Sthir Dasha are very important. Char Dasha and Trikona dasha help us to trace important events of the Jatak's life. If navamsa dasha is also used simultaneously, the event can be traced even better. Char dasha along with Niryan shoola Dasha helps in fixing longevity. The whole aim behind introducing the readers to Jaimini system is to encourage the use of composite Techniques in prediction. The Horoscope is first studied according to the parashari principles and parashari dashas. The next step is to refine the prediction by simultaneously using Jaimini principles and Jaimini dashas. When this technique is employed it will noticed that the same event is visible by both the methods and the Astrologer becomes very confident of his prediction. The Traditional Astrologers in whose families Jyotish was a 'Parampara' used these composite techniques and this is the main reason why they gave very good predictions.

6. Computation of Char Dasha-l The Maha Dasha Order

What will be the Sequence (order) of Mahadashas from the Jatak's Birth?

The order of the Mahadashas will depend on the Rashi placed in the lagna.

Rule 1

If the Rashi in lagna is Leo- Virgo- Libra- Aquarius- Pisces or Aries, then the Maha dasha order will be Direct.

For Example : If the rashi in lagna is Leo, then the Mahadashas will more in Direct order.

Leo - Dasha at Birth

Virgo - 2nd Mahadasha

Libra 3rd Mahadasha

Scorpio - 4th Mahadasha

Sagittarius - 5th Mahadasha

Capricorn - 6th Mahadasha

Aquarius 7th Mahadasha

Pisces - 8th Mahadasha

Aries - 9th Mahadasha

Taurus 10th Mahadasha

Gemini - 11th Mahadasha

Cancer 12th Mahadasha

After Cancer the Second cycle will start again with Leo.

This method will be applicable also for Virgo, Libra, Aquarius, Pisces or Aries lagnas.

This can be summarized as:

If 5-6-7-11-12-1 Rashis are in Lagna the Mahadashas will move in DIRECT ORDER.

RULE -2

If the Rashi in lagna is Taurus- Gemini- Cancer- Scorpio- Sagittarius or Capricorn then the Mahadasha will more in an INDIRECT ORDER.

18 An Introduction to Jaimini System

For Example:

If the Rashi in lagna is Gemini- then for this Jatak, the order of Mahadashas will be INDIRECT.

Gemini - Dasha at Birth

Taurus 2nd Mahadasha

Aries 3rd Mahadasha

Pisces - 4th Mahadasha

Aquarius - 5th Mahadasha

Capricorn - 6th Mahadasha

Sagittarius - 7th Mahadasha

Scorpio - 8th Mahadasha

Libra - 9th Mahadasha

Virgo - 10th Mahadasha

Leo - 11th Mahadasha

Cancer - 12th Mahadasha

After Cancer dasha the Second cycle will start again from Gemini.

This method is also applicable for Taurus, Cancer, Scorpio, Sagittarius and Capricorn Lagnas. This can be summarized as : If 2-3-4-8-9-10 Rashis are in Lagna, the Mahadashas will move in INDIRECT ORDER

Antardashas

Each Mahadasha will have twelve Antardashas of all the twelve Rashis. In Vimshottari Dasha, each planet has his own Mahadasha, and in his own Mahadasha, he has the Antar dashas of all the nine planets. Similarly, in char Dasha, each Rashi dasha has the Antardashas of all the twelve Rashis.

Pratyantar Dashas

Just like each Mahadasha has Antardashas of all the twelve Rashis, each antardasha has Pratyantar Dashas of all the Twelve Rashis.

8. Computation of Char Dasha-III Calculation of The Dasha Years

It has been mentioned earlier that the years of char dasha are not fixed, they have to be calculated according to certain rules.

The twelve Rashis have been divided into two groups of six rashis each. One group is the Direct order or Visham pada group and the other group is the Indirect order or sampada group.

The Vishampada (Direct order) groups has- Aries- Taurus- Gemini and Libra- Scorpio- Sagittarius 1-2-3-7-8-9 Rashis. The Sampada (Indirect order) group has - Cancer- Leo- Virgo and Capricorn- Aquarius- Pisces 4-5-6-10-11-12 · Direct Indirect

1-2-3 4-5-6

7-8-9 10-11-12

Vishampada Sampada

Anticlockwise Clockwise

Calculation of Dasha Years

Steps

1. Write down the dasha sequence as explained in chapter 5.

2. Note which rashis belong to Direct group and which Rashis belong to the Indirect group.

3. For the Direct order group Count from the rashi up to the lord of the rashi in the direct way.

4. Forthe Indirect order group count from the rashi up to the lord of the rashi in the Indirectway.

5. From the total deduct 1. The resultant number will be the years of the dasha.

6. If lord of the rashis is in his own Rashi, give full 12 years. (Rashi of the Dasha under consideration)

7. These rules apply to all Dashas except those of Scorpio and Aquarius, because Scorpio and Aquarius have two lords each. Scorpio's lords are Mars and Ketu and Aquarius' lords are Saturn and Rahu. For this reason, there are special rules for Scorpio and Aquarius.

An Introduction to Jaimini System 27

Scorpio (Direct Counting) Lords of Scorpio are Mars and Ketu.

Rule 1- If Mars is in Scorpio and Ketu is placed in some other rashi, then ignore Mars and count up to Scorpio Direct way.

If Ketu is in Scorpio and Mars is elsewhere, then Ignore ketu and count up to Mars the direct way.

Rule 2- If both Mars and Ketu are in Scorpio then the dasha will be of 12 years.

Rule 3- If both Mars and Ketu are not placed in Scorpio, then find out who is stronger of the wo and then count up to that planet.

The planet which is placed with more number of planets will be stronger.

If both Mars and Ketu are placed with equal number of planets, then which ever planet's degree is higher is stronger.

If both Mars and ketu are alone, then the planet with higher degree is stronger.

If they both have the same degree also then differentiate on the basis of minutes & seconds

Aquarius (Indirect Counting)

Lords of Aquarius are Saturn and Rahu. The Calculation will be like Scorpio, however, there are two differences.

1. The Lords will be Saturn and Rahu.

2. The order for counting will be indirect.

An Introduction to Jaimini System 31

Calculation of Antardasha

. The Period of Antardasha will be As many months as are the years of the Mahadasha.

· This rule will apply to all the 12 Antardashas. Each Rashis Antardasha calculation will not have to be calculated separately.

For Example -

MD 12 Yrs Each AD- 1 yr

MD 11 Yrs Each AD- 11 Month

MD = 10 Yrs Each AD- 10 Month

MD = 9 Yrs Each AD- 9 Month

MD 8 Yrs Each AD- 8 Month

MD = 7 Yrs Each AD- 7 Month

Calculation of Pratyantardasha

Char Dasha is a short dasha. For this reason calculation up to Antardasha is enough. If pratyantar dasha needs to be calculated. Then convert the Antardasha period into days and Divide by 12 Rashis. The Resultant will be days and Hours of the Pratyantar Dasha.

For Example

. If Antar Dasha is of 12 months.

• 12 months converted into days = 360d.

• 360 days divided by 12 Pds = 30 days, 1 PD will be of 30 days.

· If Antar Dasha is of 11 months.

• 11 months converted into days = 330d.

• 330d Divided by 12 PDS = 27.5d=27d-12M.

1PD will be of 27d 12 hrs.

Note : Normally 1 yr. is taken as 360 days for Dashas.

9. Jaimini Yogas

Yogas are combinations formed between planets and houses. These combinations form on the basis of position aspect conjunction and exchange. Yogas show the Jatak's Prarabdh, and they give their result when the appropriate dasha comes.

There are many yogas mentioned in Jaimini Sutras, only a few important ones will be taken up here.

(a) Raja Yogas are formed when the Atmakarak has a connection with some important karkas and some house lords.

1. Atma Karak with Amatyakarak. 2. Atma karak with Putrakarak. 3. Atma karak with Darakarak. 4. Atma karak with Fifth house Lord.

(b) Raja Yogas are also formed when the Amatya karak makes a connection with these karkas and house lords.

1. Amatya karak with Putrakarak 2. Amatya karak with Darakarak. 3. Amatya karak with Fifth house Lord.

(c) Raja Yogas formed by Putrakarak.

1. Putrakarak with fifth house lord. 2. Putrakarak with Darakarak.

(d) Connection between Darakarak and Fifth house lord also forms a Raja yoga.

(e) Other Raja Yogas:

1. If Janma Lagna, Hora lagna, Ghatika lagna. The navamsa or the Dreshkona lagnas have their first and seventh house aspected by one planet, it is a great Raja yoga. 2. If Moon and Venus are in mutual connection or are in third house from each other it is a Raja yoga and a Vahan (conveyances) yoga. 3. If Mars Venus and Ketu are in mutual aspects or are in 3-11 from each other, then the person enjoys aristocratic comforts or Spirituality. 4. If Moon and Venus are in the fourth house from Atmakarak the person will have all the emblems of Royally.

34 An Introduction to Jaimini System

f. Adverse Yogas

1. Daridra Yoga

If the Benefic planets are in sixth Eighth and twelfth houses and the malific planets are in kendras and trikonas the person is poor.

2. Jaimini Kemadruma Yoga

If there are equal number of malifics in second and eighth houses from karkamsa lagna or from Janma lagna or from Arudha lagna it gives rise to kemadruma yoga.

• This yoga results in the loss of partner, financial losses and steep fall in position. - If moon aspects these malifics, then the yoga becomes particularly strong.

3. Yoga for Imprisonment

If second and Twelfth, or if fifth and ninth, or if twelfth and sixth or if third and eleventh or if fourth and Tenth house from Lagna or Karkamsa Lagna have equal number of planets, the person gets imprisoned.

i.e. If 2H - 12 H

3H-11 H

4H - 10 H

5H - 09 H

6H-12H

Have equal number of planets it becomes a yoga for imprisonment.

If malifics aspect these planets then the punishment will be severe, but if benefics aspect them, then the punishment and the trouble may be temporary.

40 An Introduction to Jaimini System

10. The Importance of Karkamsa

Karkamsa (कारकांश) The rashi in which the Atmakarak is placed in the navamsa is called the Karkamsa Lagna in the Lagna Kundali, the same rashi in the Navamsa Kundali is called Swamsa. (स्वांश)

Karkamsa is the starting point of Jaimini analysis. It is equivalent to the lagna of the horoscope. All the houses from K.L. are observed in the same manner as they are normally observed from the Janma Lagna.

For Example Fifth house from K.L. will be seen for education and children and Seventh house from K.L. will be seen for marriage.

The Rashi in which karkamsa falls gives some clue about the Jatak.

Note : While interpreting these results, these points must be remembered.

1. These results have to be applied liberally and not literally to the horoscopes. 2. They have to be viewed in today's context according to the principle of Desh-kal-Patra. 3. Most classical writers have laid more stress on Negativity, and as modern Astrologers we should find the positive side of these principles.

Results of Different Rashis in Karkamsa

Aries . The Jatak is affected favourably or unfavorably by cats and rats and other similar animals. · Whether the result will be favourable or unfavourable will depend upon the influences on the K.L.

Taurus The Jatak is affected favourably or unfavourably by quadrupeds (the four legged animals). This can mean farming, dairying, food and hotel line, vehicles, automobile industry or luxury fields (lord of Taurus is Venus). On the other hand a person may suffer on account of four legged animals.

Gemini The Jatak suffers on account of itches or skin ailments and corpulence. Or he may be a dermatologist or owner of slimming centres. He may be a singer or an intellectual.

Cancer The Jatak is influenced by water and he suffers due to Leprosy.

An Introduction to Jaimini System 41

Another sutra says that if Karkamsa falls in Cancer- the person is a trader. He may be a sailor, fisherman, producer of mineral water, exporter, or a traveller.

Leo The Jatak is affected by beasts. People with karkamsa in Leo have also been noticed to have ups and downs in their lives, and falls from heights or from a high position, or have accidents. But it also implies that they will also attain a high position.

Virgo The results are like Gemini and the Jatak can suffer from itches and corpulence (weight) and he may suffer on account of fire or sparks of fire.

Or He may even be a doctor treating skin diseases (dermatologist).

Libra The Jatak's fortune is created by trade. The person can be a trader or a businessman. Today, it can also mean fields related to beauty, arts, television, films, vehicles etc.

Scorpio The Jatak is affected by animals and reptiles who live in water and he is deprived of his mother's milk. The person may be susceptible to poisoning and he may have been reared on animal milk or powder milk or by a foster mother.

Sagittarius The Jatak suffers on account of a fall from a horse or from a vehicle or from some height. (from a hilltop or rooftop). Dhanu is a kodanda Rashi («3-punishment). When K.L is in this rashi the person suffers from a fall. The fall may be from a horse or from a conveyance or some high place like a tree or a hill or from stairs. The fall can also be from a high position in life. So, to fall from a height the person will first reach that height and then fall from it. Hence Dhanu signifies a rise and a fall.

Capricorn The Jatak gets affected because of aquatic (watery) creatures, fierce birds, planets, meteors and evil spirits. He may get large wounds or incurable cancers or glandular, expansions or skin ailments.

Capricorn is a rashi of change "Parivartan". There may be a lot of changes in the persons life. Whether they are for good or for bad, depends on the benefic or malefic associations of the K.L.

42 An Introduction to Jaimini System

Aquarius The Jatak builds Tanks, wells, gardens temples, Ashrams, Dharmshalas and other public facilities. Kumbha is the rashi 'Amrit', hence the person will have nobility, and his activity will be aimed towards helping the other fellow beings. On the other hand, if K.L. has malefic influence, the person may be just the opposite.

Pisces The Jatak is inclined towards following the path of Dharma, aiming at the final emancipation (&T). He will have good moral values and he will put them into practice, whether he is religious or not. He will have sacrificing nature. He may even take sanyas at some stage in his life. The horoscope must be viewed in totality, only then accuracy in prediction will be got. Karkamsa is showing the Jatak's tendencies. The result will depend on other factors in the horoscope also. Confirmation of these effects must be got from of the complete horoscope. Jaimini has praised Karkamsa in Libra, Aquarius and Pisces only. Forthe remaining rashis he has only given negative results. But we can try to find the positive results of the remaining nine rashis by observation and research. Results of Different planets in Karkamsa

Sun If Sun is placed in the karkamsa the person is devoted to the service of the king. The person's occupation may be connected to the government or to public business.

Moon and Venus If full moon (Benefic Moon) and Venus are placed in K.L the person gets all kinds of enjoyments and his occupation is connected to learhing, authorship etc. Moon and Venus together also form a rajayoga giving great wealth and luxury.

Mars If Mars is placed in the K.L. then the person has a profession connected to chemicals, fire, metallurgy, factories or making of weapons or Defence services.

Mercury If Mercury is placed in the K.L., the person becomes a trader or businessman, weaver or sculptor or an artist. It also gives him fame.

Jupiter If Jupiter is placed in the K.L. the person is a scholar, a teacher, priest or someone performing the religious rites. He can also be an adviser or an Astrologer.

An Introduction to Jaimini System 43

Venus If Venus is placed in the K.L. the person becomes a government servant, political personage or an artist. He is attracted towards the opposite sex, and he retains his sexual vitality till an advanced age.

Saturn If Saturn is placed in K.L. or is in Kendras from it, it is a combination for fame. The person may be in some famous business or a famous organisation.

Rahu If Rahu is placed in the K.L. the person can become a doctor using poisonous medicines (Antibiotics). He can also be a druggist, a soldier, a dacoit or a thief. He can even be a manufacturer of metallic machinery, or electronics.

Ketu If Ketu is in the K.L. the person can be in elephant trade, he can even be a poacher of elephants, or a thief. As Ketu also signifies sookshma yantra, the person can be a watch manufacturer or a watch dealer. (machines which show time) Where Rahu and Ketu are concerned, their Rashi lords (dispositors) must also be looked at, sometimes they give a better idea of the result. Ketu can also give spiritual inclination.

11. Results of the Rashi Dashas

We are aware that when the Dasha of a planet operates, the natural tendencies of that planet his nature-comes into the jatak. For example - Ifa man's Mars Dasha is running, he becomes courageous, aggressive and full of drive. In the same manner, when the Dasha of a particular Rashi is in operation, the natural tendency of the Jatak becomes like that of the rashi.

The pictorial symbol of the Rashi gives an idea of the result. The Significations of the Rashi lord, the Tatva and the mobility of the Rashi should also be considered.

12. Some Critical Dashas

It is not uncommon to hear people say," We showed our horoscopes to so many Astrologers but none of them warned us about the sudden death of my husband!". It is the duty of the Astrologer to prepare the person for the approaching calamity or danger.

In Jaimini there are some dashas which portened coming danger. If any of these dashas is noticed then the horoscope should be analysed carefully. Sometimes, instead of causing harm, these dasha can even give a noticable rise and prosperity. But that would depend on the indiviaual horoscope.

1. Dasha of the Atmakarak Dasha of the rashi in which Atmakarak is placed is called the dasha of the Atmakarak. Normally dasha of the A.K. brings a fall. This fall can vary from a slight drop in position to a serious illness or to an accident or death or a violent death. It can also mean harm to a family member. In some cases it can even bestow power or a position on the person. What will happen will depend on the horosocpe.

If Atmakarak is placed in Sagittarius or leo, then the fall is more likely.

2. The Dasha of the Rashi of Karkamsa Dasha of the Rashi of Karkamsa can also bring similar adverse results.

3. Dashas of the Rashis falling in the Sixth, eighth or twelfth rashi from Atmakarak or Karkamsa may also be troublesome.

4. Dashas of Sagittarius or Leo . These dashas are well known for causing accidents, death or a fall from a height or from a Vehicle. However in some cases, they have been seen to give a big rise and prosperity.

The final word regarding these dashas is that normally they produce adverse results and set backs. If the horoscope is showing positive indications then it can prove to be a period of rise.

13. Prediction by Jaimini System

The first prerequisite for prediction by Jaimini is proficiency in Parashari methods, because Jaimini is only a refinement and an advancement of Parashari system. The Horoscope must be first analysed by the well known Parashari principles. Coming next to Jaimini, it would be helpful if an systematic procedure is followed. Checklist 1 1. Make Navamsa of the complete horoscope. 2. Note the degrees of the planets and make a list of all the seven karkas excluding Rahu & Ketu. 3. Notice which is the navamsa rashi of the Atmakarak. Mark that Rashi in the lagna chart (D-1) as Karkamsa Lagna (K.L) the same rashi in navamsa (D-9) will be marked Swamsa Lagna (S.L.). 4. Make Pada Lagna (PL) or Arudha Lagna. 5. Make Upa-pada lagna. (U.P) 6. Mark the Important Arudha padas according to the chronological age, stage and the matters which are of concern to the Jatak. 7. Compute char Dasha: a. Notice the mahadasha order whether it is Direct or Indirect. b. Calculate the years of the dasha. c. Special rules for Scorpio and Aquarius must be remembered. d. Work out the Antardashas of the present period and the ADS at some important events, for verification the horoscope. Caution . In computerised horoscopes, very often the computer makes a mistake at this point. So the Dasha periods of Scorpio and Aquarius must be checked manually. . It must be remembered that AD of each rashi is not calculated separately. The twelve ADS of any Rashi will be of equal duration. eg. If Maha dasha is of 6 years. All the 12 ADs of that Mahadasha will be of 6 months each. . It must also be remembered that the ADS will move in the Same Order as the Mahadasha. eg. MD of Pisces (Direct) ADS will move Ari-Tau-Gem and so on. 8. Aspects (Drishtis) a. While doing Jaimini analysis Jaimini aspects must be considered, they must not be confused with the Parashari aspects. b. The Karkas cast their aspects along with the rashis in which they are placed.

50 An Introduction to Jaimini System

Checklist - 2

The Promise It is of utmost importance to see what are the promises in the Horoscope. 1. Notice which houses of the horoscope are becoming prominent. Those houses become the points of focus in the Horoscope. The house comes into prominence if - (a) Karkas are placed in it. (b) Karkas aspect it. (c) Ifthere is an exchange between lords of two houses (Rashi Parivartan). 2. Notice if there are any favourable or unfavourable yogas (Raja Yogas, Dhanayogas or Anishta Yogas) present in the horoscope. 3. Notice if there is concentration of planets in any special houses. 4. Does the horoscope show any striking feature. By Combining 1 to 4, the promises in the horoscope will become clear. Checklist - 3 Char Dasha Analysis Karkamsa lagna becomes the starting point in jaimini analysis, but Janma lagna also must be taken into account. 1. Notice to which house from the K.L. the Rashi Dasha belongs. The first clue to the interpretation will be got from this. 2. Now make the Rashi Dasha the lagna and notice the kendras and Trikonas from it. . See which karkas are placed in them and which karkas are aspecting them. · Also see which houses from the Rashi dasha are getting activated because of the placement or the aspects of karkas. · Similarly notice the trik bhavas from the Rashi Dasha. . Strength or weakness of different houses from the rashi dasha will become obvious, and this will show the promise in the dasha. 3. Next make the Antardasha the lagna, and do a similar analysis. 4. Notice the connection between the MD and AD. 5. Gombine the Promise in the horoscope with the promise of the dasha, keeping in mind the Significations of the houses, karkas and the Rashis involved. 6. Notice the Dasha sequence (एक क बाद एक कैसीदशाएं आई) from birth. It will show- (i) The development of the jatak from the begining. (ii) What to expect from each successive dasha. 7. Compare the result with the corresponding Vimshottari dasha. Most of the time, both the dashas will show the same result.

Verification of the Horoscope Before analysing any horoscope, one should verify the horoscope - i.e. check whether the horoscope seems to be correct or not.

An Introduction to Jaimini System 53

1. Brothers and Sisters : She has more sisters because the third house has Moon. 2. Early death of father: Ninth' house is normally taken for father. The ninth house is aspected by Mars and ninth lord is in the eighth house and is aspected by Rahu. Even if we take tenth house for father, its lord is Saturn, and similar result is observed. 3. She is very famous : Saturn and Mercury are in Kendras from K.L. 4. She has a sweet voice : Venus is in the Second house from Moon. 5. No rivals could stand in front of her : Her sixth house has Vargottam Mars and Ketu.

The Horoscope seems to be correct.

Karkamsa is in Virgo · The result should be like Gemini and Virgo - Some skin problem should be there - Her face is pock marked. Gemini can produce singers and Virgo can produce an artist.

. Sun is placed in the K.L - She has performed excellently at national and public level and got uccha pada - High Status- awards from the government.

Mercury who is vargottam is also placed in the K.L .- She has got fame and she is an artist (Kalavati).

The karkamsa becomes the focus of energy in the horoscope. Exhalted Vargottam Mercury who is the Atmakarak and the fifth lord, is placed there with matrikarak Sun, both are aspected by D.K. Saturn forming a powerful Rajayoga in the house of Poorva Punya. Karkamsa being so powerful, falls in eleventh house (Labha bhava) from Pada lagna, indicating great wealth - a Dhana yoga.

Apart from Jaimini yogas, there are a number Parashari yogas also in the K.L. A great Dhanayoga is formed by the second and fifth lord Mercury and fourth lord Sun, and both are Aspected by yogakarak Saturn and eleventh lord Jupiter. A very good kendra trikona Rajayoga is forming there Aspected by Jupiter and Yoga Karak Saturn. Even a fine Budha Aditya yoga exists there with exhalted Mercury and Sun, Aspected by Jupiter. Fifth house from K.L. is getting the aspect of Venus and Jupiter showing classical art. Thus, the Karkamsa Rules the whole Horoscope.

Pada Lagna Pada Lagna is in Scorpio. P.K. Venus is placed in the 10th house from P.L. showing a profession related to art and creativity, and genuine interest and talent in music.

Upa Pada Upa Pada is in Aries. Rahu is placed in Upa pada and Ketu and Mars are in the Seventh from it . Showing weakness on the marriage front. Upa pada is aspected by PK. Venus. She was very keen to marry - Some one out of her own choice, at one time. The Seventh lord from upa pada - who is Venus is aspected by Rahu Ketu and Mars. This has denied her marriage.

Life Events as Seen by Char Dasha

1. First major Success in singing cancer (1949) Aquarius - Aries- Tenth house from Aries is aspected by Amk Jupiter and P.K. Venus. (Jaimini Aspects) giving her a professional break.

2. Lata Mangeshkar Medical Foundation (October-1989) : Virgo - Aquarius -The Mahadasha was Virgo. It is the Dasha of K.L, and because A.K. is also placed in it, Virgo becomes the dasha of the Atmakarak. AK's dasha brings a fall. Competition to her developed to some extent, from other newer singers, But inspite of this, because she has a strong sixth house, no one could touch her.

In October 1989 in- Virgo - Aquarius, Mangeshkar Family established Lata Mangeshkar medical Foundation. This act of charity took place because Amk Jupiter (noble) is placed in the ninth from Virgo dasha, he is aspected by G.K. Mars from the Sixth house of disease (the medical connection). Antardasha was of Aquarius, the rashi of Amrit, in which nobility develops and Social religious and pious acts are undertaken. Aquarius is also aspected by G.K. Mars showing the medical connection.

56 An Introduction to Jaimini System

14. Judgement of the Horoscope

I. General Analysis By now the method of analysing the horoscope must have already become clear to the readers. Forthe Students, My humble suggestion is that instead of trying to analyse the full and complete horoscope at the same time, it is better to be a little focused, and that focus should be according to the chronological age of the person concerned, and according to his problems and his questions.

Procedure

1. Assess the strength of the lagna. Unless there is strength is the lagna the person will riot reach anywhere in life no matter how many Raja yogas are there in his horoscope. 2. Assess the strength of his fifth house - His Poorva punya. His life is basically governed by his Poorva punya. 3. Assess the strength of his ninth house - what is his Bhagya? 4. Examine his tenth house - How is his Karma in this life? The colour of the entire horoscope will start showing by the examination of these houses. 5. Have a look at the trik bhavas namely, third, sixth eighth and Twelfth houses. What are his weaknesses? 6. Which houses of the horoscope are becoming prominent because of placement of the planets and the aspects of other planets or because of an exchange? They become points of focus in the Horoscope. 7. Notice the Dasha Sequence. 8. Apply Transit of the slow moving planets, which are Saturn Jupiter Rahu and Ketu. 9. To see a matter related to any house, Apply the rule of 5. See :

i. House concerned. ii. The house lord. iii. The karka iv. Dasha, Antardasha, Pratyantar dasha. V. Gochar House -Lord - Karak - Dasha- Gochar 10. Apply the principle of Desh- Kal -Patra

Il. Keep a positive outlook- Try to find the strength of the horoscope and not just its weaknesses.

II. Jaimini Analysis In the time period when Jaimini sutras were composed, the life was simple, and so the maharishi has given guidelines for judging the essentials of a man's life. Though thousands of years have passed, the basic life of the individual remains the same. So the sutras are

An Introduction to Jaimini System 57

applicable even today. However, with advancement in every sphere of life, research needs to be done to find combinations for these advancements. Eg. the computer is a new addition. Now, there are so many new areas even in the computer field, that we need to find combinations indicating those fields.

A. The Karkamsa Jaimini has given a lot of importance to the Atmakarak planet, and the rashi occupied by him in the navamsa i.e. the Karkamsa. So karkamsa is of prime importance for Jaimini analysis. It is not that the Janma lagna has to be ignored. One should co-relate the two. Different houses from K.L. have to be seen for different matters. For example fifth from K.L. is seen for education and children, fourth from K.L. is seen for the house etc.

This can be tabulated as:

Planets in the specific house from Karkamsa The Areas they cover 1 st and 2nd house Profession 4th house House or residence 9th house Religion and devotion 7th house Nature of Spouse 10th house The individual's general nature. 3rd house His strength 12th house Life after death 1st, 2nd and 5th learning and scholarships.

. For matters related to longevity and death- Jaimini has created an entire system, which needs to be studied separately.

B. Arudha or Pada Lagna For the person's wealth - Arudha or the pada lagna and the eleventh from it should be considered. Benefic influence is helpful and malefic influence is unhelpful, or it indicates wealth from unfair means.

For Expenditure or losses Twelfth from Arudha shows expenditure . The planets in this house show the type of expenditure.

For Co-borns (Brothers and Sisters) Third house from Pada lagna is seen.

. If Rahu is in the third or eleventh from the concerned lagna, the person is the eldest or youngest, atleast among his own sex. (A special observation of Sh. K. N. Rao)

If Moon, Jupiter, Mercury and Mars are in the 3 or 11th from Arudha - there will be many good brothers and sisters.

58 An Introduction to Jaimini System

The Subtle difference between the Karkamsa and the Pada Lagna

Both the Karkamsa and Pada lagna are very important for Jaimini analysis.

Karkamsa is the Navamsa rashi of the Atmakarak. Atmakarak is considered to be the most important planet by Jaimini. It controls the Atma (3ncH) the complete self of the Jatak. The complete self includes, the physical body, the soul, the Poorva karmas, the present karmas, and the Sookshma deha. So he signifies the Jatak completely at material level and at spiritual level. Hence karkamsa, which is the Navamsa of the Atmakarak, shows the refinement of the Jatak's karmas. His complete existence. It show the faR of the complete Jatak. [As mentioned in the Introduction, Jaimini has studied the Jatak's personality by splitting it down to its fundamentals].

Pada Lagna is the Arudha of the lagna. It shows the Jatak's outer personality the matters relating to his physical existence. i.e. Profession, promotion, wealth, spouse, brothers and sisters, health etc. All the material level matters.

C. Upa - Pada The main contribution of upa pada is that, upa pada is helpful in determining the quality of the spouse. To some extent, matters relating to children and co-borns can also be seen from upa pada.

Upa pada is also known as the Gauna (TiuT) pada . If it is associated with benefics - there will be happiness in marriage. If it is associated with malefics then there may be unhappiness in marriage. If there is too much malefic influence on the upa pada or the second from it, there may be Denial of marriage or the person may renounce his family and take Sanyas. If there is even one strong benefic influence, then the situation will get saved.

. Similarly fifth house and ninth house from upa pada should be seen for children.

. the third house and the eleventh house from upa pada should be seen for brothers and sisters.

In this manner after examining the relevant lagnas, planets and houses, Dasha and Gochar should be applied for a good reading of the horoscope.

15. Predictive Hints from Jatak Tatva

Jatak Tatva has been composed by Shri Mahadeva Pathak of Ratlam about 125 years ago. It is considered to be equivalent to the famous Astrological classics.
