STELLAR ASTROLOGY: UTILITY OF RULING PLANETS IN TIMING OF EVENTS

It was on 14-1-1977(Pongal Day) that the following event took place in my house at Coimbatore. On this day, my daughter and son-in-law, who are residing in another suburb of the town, promised to pay a visit to my house round about 1 p.m. After lunch, all of us were eagerly waiting for them. But at 1 p.m. nothing happened. At 2 p.m., I just went out of the house and waited at the stand for the arrival of the particular bus by which they normally used to come. In that bus also, they were not found.1 was much disappointed. As more time passed on, we all became more anxious and even thought that they might have cancelled their trip. At last, being unable to bear the delay, I thought of solving the matter by applying the priniciples of Krishnamurti Padhdhati. The question I put to myself was whether my daughter and son-in-law would come home, at all, as promised, and if so, when.

Judgement: The 11th Lord, Guru is in the star of lord of the 4th house. The 4th house lord Sun. is in its own star. So they are related. Moreover, they are within the orb of trine aspect. So, the aspect is very powerful. So, the persons must surely come home.

Considering the ruling planets, Sukra is found to be very strong, Mars is in Sukra. Budha is in Sukra star. Both are in very close conjunction, even though Budha is retrograde. So, they must come before the Ascendant point crosses Mars Star (Mrigasira). They will not come immediately, as one ruling planet is retrograde and also the Moon is in the star of a retrograde planet. They are likely to come when the Ascendant point comes to Budha Rasi, Kuja star, Sukra sub, and Rahu sub-sub, as Rahu represents Sukra and also as Sukra is in Rahu's' star.

RETROGRADE PLANT This poistion of the Ascendant will arrive at 4-15 p.m. (IST). So, I predicted to my house people that they would come at 4-15 p.m.

To the great amazement of all, my daughter and son-in-law arrived in the house exactly at this time The Ruling planets never fail to indicate the correct time of happening of an event. If careful judgement is made after weighing the pros and cons of the planetary positions, we can never fail in predicting the time of culmination of an immediate future event. In Natal Horoscope, we have to consider Major. Sub-period and Inter-period and transits of planets to successfully predict an event.

All salutations to that great master mind, the late Prof. K.S.Krishnamurti whose teachings have served to dispel the darkness which engulfed the world of astrology till recently.

Good Luck !

SIMPLICITY OF THE STELLAR SYSTEM OF PROGNOSTICATION

Krishnamurti Padhdhati is simple It is scientific. It is also useful to the consultant. No alternative; no confusion; no tendency. Only certainty. Learn it. Apply properly. You will feel like a young boy who learns swimming and enable him to cross the river

One opens a restaurant and serves delicious food, well cooked, which could be easily digested and fully assimilated. There are already a few restaurants who supply polluted food One can certify which is good only when one takes at all the places and offer one's opinion. Without entering into the new good restaurant what is the meaning of passing any remark on the new one? So read all the text-books and then Krishnamurti Padhdhati. I am sure that you will join those thousands of intelligent and honest students with open mind who have given up the traditional method and have now taken to the K.P.System.

The class was going on in Futnani Hall in Calcutta. One Mr M.S.G brought a book on Astrology and opened the page 163. It was found that if the lord of the seventh is powerfully exalted and occupies birth more than one wife must not be predicted. He asked for clarification. I replied that the translation may or may not be correct as side by side the sloka is not given But the rule is not applicable even to one full sign born. For 11'/, signs. lord of 7 can never be exalted in the Birth Bhava If one strictly follows sign by sign, this rule is absurd. I added that similar absurdities are in the Traditional Astrology which is general and not applicable to one and all. No doubt the author should explain these. Or the translator should clarify. Look at

8 RETROGRADE PLANT the condition of the student who could not understand this rule Thus there are many without clarity. Therefore after reading these thousands of slokas one gets naturally confused. Moreover there are many contradictions and a few absurdities. None can deny this fact. The Hindu Traditional Astrology is never universally applicable. Hence it is not scientific. Further, it is not useful for modern world.

Another student asked: "How to judge whether one can become rich or poor?"

Answer: (a) Western System. Judge the fortune of a male (1) from the strength of the Moon, its deposition, the beneficial aspects received by the Moon and the applying aspects of the Moon immediately after the birth. (2) The owner and the occupant of the second house. (3) Favourable aspect between the two luminaries. (4) Jupiter and Venus or either Jupiter or Venus in the ascendant or in elevation. (5) Beneficial aspect to the second cusp and fortuna. (6) Evil planets in 3,6,9, and 12 and benefics in 1,4,7, or 10 promise pleasant and prosperous life; whereas evil aspect to the meridian and on to the ascendant or its lord portend difficulties even to get partmony.

Slow-moving planets forming favourable mutual aspects by progression and the strong luminaries at the birthtime receiving beneficial aspects promise smooth progress in one's career thoughout life. This fails miserably, even though. Westeners follow this method. Are there not people born within an hour and twins having the same aspects formed among the slow- moving planets and the luminaries"? How is it that one of the twins becomes richer and richer and the other becomes poorer and poorer?

Planets very near the second cusp with beneficial aspects from other planets are favourable to increase wealth. But planets close to meridian receiving good aspects improve one's status, rank and luck. A few Hindu authors consider the 8th house as hopeless and useless; a few claim it to be auspicious, if

KRISHNAMURTI PADHDHATI occupied by benefics. Westerners also consider that the strong benefics in the 6th house cause gains by legacy, unearned income, inheritance and windfall.

Benefics in movable signs give sudden and substantial gains to one's satisfaction in a short period. If they are in fixed signs, the income is also steady; but if they are in common signs one cannot hoard up much money.

Planets in 12 to Sun and 2 to Moon promote one's rank and improve one's bank position. If Jupiter and Moon or Jupiter and Mars form unfavourable aspects, one will be overliberal, impruderit and his expenditure will outweight income. Thus there are many rules.

(b) Hindu Traditional Astrology One becomes rich or poor depending on the various Rajayogas and Avayogas as propounded by the sages and the learned scholars of India. (Krishnamurti says that the existence of Rajayoga is not a guarantee that one should have sufficient money at least to pull on his life without borrowing money, or to meet the normal expenses. Normally, according to them, one should not bother about tomorrow. Instances are many where incorrect time of birth is noted and the birth charts are erected by good Mathematicians and Astronomers. No Rajayoga is found in the charts of those who roll in wealth; not in thousands but in crores. This is a fact. (Refer to Krishnamurti Padhdhati, Vol.il, Pages 79 and 80). They are the richest in India).

2. One can command money if the second house lord is exalted. (This general principle has contradiction especially to Aries, Gemini-boms, as there is another rule saying that palnets in 12 indicate waste, loss and drain on the purse. This general rule is not applicable to one and all. Saturn will be in 11 in exaltation to Sagittarius Lagna-borns. Saturn is in that sign for nearly two and a half years. Everyday onetwelfth of the total birth in the world will be in this Lagna and Saturn will be in 11. Are all the people so born making money due to the favourable

10 RETROGRADE PLANT sub occupied by Saturn whereas most of the people face difficulties they are depressed. disappointed and dejected. Already, I have given instances of the suffering persons now living and not those born somewhere in the world in some other continent in previous centuries). 3. If lord of 2 occupies a Kendra or a Kona (It is said by Hindus that a planet loses strength to go give the result of the house it owns if it occupies a house 6 or 8 or 12, counted from its own house If lord of two is in a Kona the 9th, is it not 8 to the second? Lagna is both a Kona sign and Kendra sign, hence if lord of 2 is in one, is it not that it is in 12 to his own house? If Lord of 2 is in 7 is it not the 6th counted, from the second house? so this general rule should again be judged. Saturn will be in Virgo, Libra and Scorpio for a period of 7 1/2 years. Hence those born in Capricorn should be lucky when Saturn is in Virgo or Libra and those born in Aquarius should be rich if they are born in Aquarius should be rich if they are born in the 5 years when Saturn was in Libra and Scorpio. (Also read for every planet what results are given when they occupy the 9th and 10th houses.)

4. Lord of 2 in Gopuramsa or Simhasana amsa. (How many astrologers apply al these amsas when they give the result? I have the life readings given by the traditional astrologers who claim to be much experienced calling others as new entrants. Nowhere these amsas and Astaka varga are used while offering the prediction They work out ashtaka varga but they dot not make use of it. Already I published one life reading given by a traditional astrologer. These simply terrify a new student who wants to learn the subject. It creates an impression that this science is difficult to understand and consider these traditional astrologer who offer bold predictions, as those who are gifted Fact is that they are bold even though they know that chances of failure are equal Hence they label the prediction as tendency').

5. Lords of 2,6 and 11 in Kendra or in a Kona (Lord of 2 had been explained. Lord of 6 in 5; what does it mean? the owner occupies the 12th house to his own

KRISHNAMURTI PADHDHATI 11

Lord of 11 in 10; what does it mean? Lord of 11 in 4; is it not in 6 to his own? In these cases which are we to apply? 6. Benefics in 3 or 6 or 10 or 11 counted from Moon sign make one rich. (Moon in Capricorn will have Mercury in 3; Moon in Cancer will have Venus in 3; Moon in Leo will have Jupiter in 6; Moon in. Scorpio will have Jupiter in 3 and so on But it is also said by the traditional astrologer):

"Moodhopi Neecha ripugoastama shad vyavasho Dustah smrutho bhavathi shustha etheetharasvath .. "

meaning that planets are said to be badly placed when they are eclipsed, debilitated (that is neecha) or if they are situated in the enemy's camp or when they ocupy the 8th or 6th or 12th house (Phala Deepika). Let us see Jataka Tatva. Mahadeva says, "Yath bhavesastrikae thrikaeso wa yath bhava thad bhava nasaha" (When the lord of nay Bhava is in the 6th or 8th or12th, or the Bhava is occupied by the lord of 6th or 8th or 12th house counted from that Bhava, then the Bhava in question is . totally destroyed). Thus there are various rules; one rule promises fortune and another rule indicates that the same planet in the same position will bring misfortune. Which are you to predict? If it is a science then nothing should be left for your discretion. You have to apply straight and give the results. It is not out of place to mention the following; Mr B V.R in one of his books says; "Modern astrologers seem to have overlooked an exceptionally fertile field of investigation in their indifference to study of yogas which form as it were the essence of Indian predictive astrology. Most modern writers are silent on the subject of the yogas except perhaps for some odd remarks ... " My reply is this. Existence of any Rajayoga is not a guarantee for a pleasant life with health, wealth, etc. Those combinations said to cause a particular Rajayoga in majority of the cases, have offered most miserable results I speak about those which I have observed. I have hundreds of horoscope having Rajayogas and suffering during their periods To me it appears that these Rajayogas are useless mostly misguiding, misleading and disappointing the consultants whereas

12 RETROGRADE PLANT

temporarily it may do good only to the sooth sayer. That is why, most of the learned people keep silence. I had published the horoscope of late Sir.C.P.Ramaswamy lyer. How many yogas are there? I furnish dozens of horoscopes of those who are living in Bombay; Calcutta, Delhi and Madras. They are 'crorepathis'. No Raj yoga at all. But those who have Rajayoga combinations suffer. If I point out, the traditional astrologers attack me producing incorrect charls. Rejoinder is not published in the same magazine which published the untruth. It appears that they are afraid of publishing the truth which will open the eyes of the readers. Others have not commented to the extent to which I do. Any truth contradicting the tradition will not be published; (1) when rejoinder is not published, how can they publish the real fact about Rajayoga; (2) they have not propounded a theory by which people will be benefited. So what is the use of saying that yogas are useless. Any one can pass a remark; but one should say how to rectify or which rule one has to follow. We should adopt a principle which can be applied universally to one and all that it should also hold good in the case of twins enjoying opposite results.

In one word, I delcare that these Rajayogas mislead and wrongly give hopes to the consultants but, infact, they fail miserably in the majority of the cases. Success is negligible. Then is it a rule and is it scientific?

7. If four planets are in swakshetra, (i.e. they occupy their own houses) one becomes rich. (This also is general and this too fails.)

8. Ifthe owner of the Navamsa sign occupied by the lord of the 10th house, is in Vaiseshikamsa and if it is aspected by benefics, one becomes rich. (Let me ask whether any one has used this rule and given life reading to find out whether one can become rich or not.)

9. Benefics in Kendras make one rich God knows how many have become rich.

10. Mercury in Cancer and Saturn in 11 is good to become rich. what about Leo borns? Sagittarius borns?

KRISHNAMURTI PADHDHATI 13

11 Sun is 5 in Leo, Jupiter in Aquarius make one rich. Thus there are manyrules. When the rules are general how are we to know that in this person's case it is applicable and in this native's case it is not. What is the amendment for such rules? If it is so, why should it not be mentioned in the text-books, then and there, so that it will be to the readers. How many slokas! How to commit to memory and remember while applying!

Krishnamurti Padhdhati Riches: There is no limit for riches. It depends on the commitments and the need of a native Suppose two brothers have each a lakh of rupees. One has many children, he has sympathy towards his relatives and he calls himself poor as he is unable to meet the recurring expenses. His brother who had the same amount, says he is rich enough as he has married a miserably and selfish wife, not even trying to have at least one child and he is able to add something more to what he already has. So are we to judge from the amount? To me a rich person is one who enjoys all the fruits of life in this world and meets out expenses then and there without borrowing.

Assets must be greater than the liabilities. Which houses are we to judge? Second house indicates the bank position.

One gets money only when others give either as a share or as interest or rent or profit or salary or allowance, etc Which is judged from the sixth house. One's name, fame and profession are judged from the 10th house. That which one makes up as profit or gains, or one receives as reward or donation is judged from the 11th house. Planets owning a house (Bhava) or occupying a house can give the results of these houses during the periods and sub- periods of the planets situated in the three constellations governed by the ownere or the occupant.

14 RETROGRADE PLANT If there is no planet in their constellations then the owner and the occupant will include in their indications the results of this house owned or occupied also, other than what they have to offer according to the house situation of the lord of the constellation in which the owner or occupant are deposited.

Occupation of a constellation is stronger than occupation of a house.

In Krishnamurti Padhdhati for natal horoscopes there is no place for exaltation, or dibilitation or eclipse, or retrograde etc.

One may ask "What, Sir, will not retrograde planets and eclipsed planets prove to be detrimental?"

Let me give you a few instances. 1. One was born at 11-20 PM. on Wednesday, the 8th February, 1922 having Rahu, Jupiter, Saturn and Mercury retrograde. As his birth star was Arudhra; he was running Rahu Dasa, at birth then Jupiter Dasa, followed by Saturn Dasa and now running Mercury Dasa All were retrograde. Further Rahu, Jupiter and Saturn were in Virgo in the 12th house to his Libra Ascendant.

2. Another friend has Jupiter eclipsed in rapt conjunction and he had studied law, and had enrolled as an advocate and is now making good money, from his Jupiter Dasa Jupiter made him an advocate.

3.One gentleman who could not purchase even books during his Engineering College course earned a lot of money, possesses house by becoming the top personnel of an Engineering Concern (contractors) during his Mercury Dasa having been born immediately after New Moon on Sunday, 22nd October, 1911 at a place near Kanyakumary. His birth star was Swathi and Rahu Dasa was running at his birth time In text-books, each author has mentioned something. One says that Mercury does not become evil even when eclipsed; the other says that neither Satrun nor Venus loses strength

KRISHNAMURTI PADHDHATI 15

even when eclipsed. There is no single version. But, in reality the eclipsed planet, whomsoever it is, offers those results which it indicates.

4 The retired Cheif Engineer of Madras State had his Mercury in the same degree and minute, in the same sign, where Sun was. He became the Chief Engineer only in the Mercury period. As I have seen many horoscopes where Sun and another planet which was eclipsed has given maximum beneficial result to the native, through the matters signified by the eclipsed planet, in its period and sub-period how can I accept that eclipsed planets cannot be beneficial.) Then, the significators of the houses, 2,6, 10 and 11 deposited in the sub of the significators of either 2 or 6 or 10 or 11 give wealth during the periods of these significators, only when the lord of the sub is good; one cannot expect riches even though a planet may be the significator of 2,6,10 or 11 if the sub lord does not co-operate. One can go through the second volume of Krishnamurti Padhdhati, Page 74. Rule is simple; one universal rule only, which is applicable to one and all, young or old, man or woman. Recent researches have added this vital one, i.e., one should judge the lord of the sub of the second and the 11th cusps. Unless the lord of the sub is the significator of the houses 2,6,10 or 11 one cannot improve his bank position

(Planets will be in the same degree and minute, in the same sub in the case of twins; yet it is the sub-lords of the second and eleventh who portray whether these houses contribute towards riches or not.)

Every person has the houses, 2,6, 10 and 11. So every one has significators of the houses, 2,6,10 and 11 at least their owners. But one should know that it is the sub-lord of the planets who indicate whether the significator will offer results favourably to the person or not. Question 2: Who are to be classified as poor and unfortunate?

16 RETROGRADE PLANT

Traditional method:

1. Sun in Aries other than Paramauchcha point.

2. Sun in Cancer-ambitious but poor.

3. Sun in Capricorn-Mean action and poor.

4 Mars in Leo-Cannot save, so poor

5. Mars in Aquarius-Untold miseries and poor.

6. Mercury in Mars sign-Swindles other's money and yet

continues to be poor.

7. Mercury in Leo-Penniless-(Hopeless general rule).

8. Mercury in Capricorn or Aquarius-Ever in debts.

9. Jupiter in Capricorn-Poverty and unhappiness

10.Then, lords of 1,4 and 9 deposited in the 8th Bhava.

11 Lord of 2 in 12 and lord of 12 in 2

12.Lord of 2 in 12 and lord of 12 in lagna aspected by lord of 7.

13. Lord of 5 in 6; lord of 9 in 8 aspected by lord of 2 or 7. 14 Malefics in 2,4 or 5 counted from the sign occupied by Jupiter. 15.Even if benefics are in 10, malefics in 2 spoil the wealth.

16.Malefics in 3, lord of 12 in 2 and lord of 9 in 12-verypoor.

17.Moon, Jupiter and Saturn in Kendra signs, Mars in 5 or 8 or 12 make one very poor

18.Sunand Moon in Aquarius and other planets in debilitated signs make one poor though bom a king or a 'kubera 19.Venus in Capricorn and Mercury, Moon and Mars in debilitation will make even a prince lose his property and become poor.

KRISHNAMURTI PADHDHATI 17

20.Moon is 'Sayana Avasta' causes poor persons. 21 Mars in Nidhra Avastha'causes distress and poverty. Thus there are various rules.

Krishnamurti Padhdhati If the sub lord of the second and the 11th cups are ruled by the significators of 5 and 8; or 8and 12; or 5 and 12; one will loose money in the periods of such significators through the sources indicated by the houses occupied and owned by the significators. This is the universal rule. One gets money during the periods of the significators of 1,2,3,6,10 and 11 in the sub of the significators of 2,6,10 and 11. These are to receive cheques. But the significators of other houses are to bring down the bank position; to issue cheques. If a planet be the significator of both 5th and 6th houses, then during the sub-periods of others planets who are beneficial there will be income during the major period of the planet who is the significator of both good and bad houses The same planet in its major period and during the sub period of the evil unfavourable planets, bring loss. Hence both the results will be given by the planet signifying both the favourable and unfavourable houses, depending on the sub-periods.

It is very important to note the dasa, which are to run. Any planet which is to give much money may not have its major dasa at all. Ifthe major dasa lords to ruinthe family, how far can the sub-period of the beneficial planet help? The results will be similar to a fellow who loses money heavily in seven races and in two races he gains, something as his horses in these two races happened to be dead favourities. So the benefit will be there but it will be negligible.

But if a person runs good periods, automatically he becomes rich inspite if drain during certain sub periods. Suppose the sub-lord of the 11th cusp is favourable and its major period runs for long number of years. The sub-lord of the 12th is

18 RETROGRADE PLANT unfavourable. Even then, as the sub period of this planet is only for a short time, one will not loose much. Ifthe sub-lord of the 12th is the significator of 5 and 8, and this planet has long number of years of Udu Dasa, then during its major period one will be loosing money just like a TB patient loses weight without nourishing food,etc.

Good Luck!

BORROWING

A friend of mine asked me to tell him what the planets have to say in regard to his proposed attempt to borrow some money. He gave no 180, the ascendant for which is 18-6-40 Sagitarius- Jupiter sign, Venus star, Rahu sub. The calculatious were commenced at 8.33 p.m. on 5-2-75 and the horary chart is given below.

Planets Const.lord Sub-lord

Sun Moon Sun Moon Mercury Venus Mars Venus Mars Mercury(R) Mars Saturn Jupiter Jupiter Venus Venus Rahu Kethu Saturn(R) Rahu Mars Rahu Saturn Rahu Kethu Moon Rahu

The ascendant denotes the querent and the 7th house, all those with whom the querent deals, and in this case, the lender. The lender may be a banker or an individual. The sixth house denote debts. Loan is an income to the borrower and his bank position at the moment increases to the extent borrowed. The 12th house of the chart will show whether money is borrowed for investment or for other expenses. To the person lending the money, the sixty house which is 12 to 7, indicates loss or deterioration of his bank position. Hence sixth house indicates receipt of money by raising loan.

Will I be able to borrow?

To know whether you wiltl be able to borrow or not, the sub- lord of the sixth cusp is the index. If the sub-lord of the sixth cusp is deposited in the constellation of a retrograde palnet, you cannot borrow. If the sub-lord of the cusp is retrograde itself and also the significator of the particular matter in question then the matter will frutify only after it takes direct motion. If the sub-lord and the lord of the constellation in which the sub-lord is placed are in direct motion, you will be able to borrow. If the sub-lord of the sixth cusp is Sun, the loan will be from Government sources; or through the help of Government officials; if it is Moon, the lender will agree to advance the money very quickly; if it is Mars, there will be an atmosphere of tension because the querent will be angered; Mercury shows borrowing by correspondence and in instalments; Jupiter will borrow with honour and lawfully; Venus shows that the borrowing will be in a freindly manner Ifthe sub-lord is Saturn, there will be some delay and obstacles. Sublord being aspected by Saturn will

KRISHNAMURTI PADHDHATI 21 indicate the borrower getting part of the loan applied for or part by part jn instalments.

Here the sub-lord of the sixth cusp is Venus. She is direct in motion and is in the constellationn of Rahu. As Rahu always traverses in the reverse order of signs, he is considered to be always direct in motion and he never retraces his steps. Venus, occupying second bhava is in the star of Rahu, occupant of 11 and Venus is lord of 6 and 11. Therefore, Venus promises that the querent will be successful and borrow the money. Venus shows that there will not be any difficulty and friendly relations will prevail.

If the sublord is Moon, Mercury or Venus, it will indicate that the loan will be forthcoming early. When it has been judged that the loan will be granted quickly, the Vimsottari dasa system for ascertaing the time of getting the money on hand will not be useful and as such the Ruling planets will have to be ascertained to know the time.

As the sub-lord of the sixth cusp is Venus the loan can be had quickly and so the transit of the Moon in the constellation of the strongest Ruling planet will yield the result. The ruling planets are:

Lagna constellation Uttara Sun Lagna Sign Leo Sun Moon Constellation Jeyshta Mercury Moon sign Scorpio Mars Day lord (Wednesday) Mercury. As Rahu is in scorpio, he will act as the agent of Mars, but as Mars is in a different sign and house, Mars will have some individual force and his powers will not entirely be appropriated by Rahu.

Mercury is a strong ruling planet, occuring as day lord and as Moon's constellation lord. Though he is retrograde he is in the contstellation of a direct planet but in the sub of retrograde Saturn, which is a disqualification. So Mercury is rejected. What remains are Sun and Mars. Apparently Sun is a stronger planet

22 RETROGRADE PLANT occurring as lagna constellation and sign lord Mercury and Sun are within or of a conjunction. As Sun was in the constellation of Moon in 11 and in his own sub, it was thought he would indicate the date when Moon transited in his star. As Moon owns the 8th house, there may be some difficulty in getting the loan On the other hand, Mars is posited in the 12th house, but he is in the constellation of Venus, who owns six and eleven and is posited in the 2nd Mars is in his own sub. Therefore, it was suggested to the querent that when Moon transited Sun's star Kritika in Aries or Mars' star Mrigasira in Gemini, the querent will get the loan amount i.e. on February 18 or 21, 1975. and he got it on the 21st.

It will be seen that retrograde Mercury in conjunction with Sun and Sun in the constellation of Moon, lord of 8, though Sun is apparently a strong Ruling Planet, has not given the result But, though Mrigasira is in the sign of retrograde Mercury, has been fruitful, because Mars, by constellation, is better placed, not withstanding Mars is In the 12th house.

Good Luck.

A LESSON FROM RETROGRADE PLANETS: RE-SELLING A CAR

If a number of planets are retrograde and interlinked with each other, then one has to decide which of such planets under the Ruling Planets will constitute the sensitive zone for the transit of Moon and the main significator at the time of fructification. The present case helped to solve a number of questions regarding retrograde planets which I wish to share with you.

Selling one's car is now-a-days a transaction occuring often and one must realize that the 9th house may be much more important in it than the usual fourth house. Acquiring a car means that the seller (7) has a car 10 (or 4 from7), and if he gives up his car, then the 9th house comes in. Therefore, without the 9th house, it is impossible to acquire a car.

So, the house for acquistion of a car are: 4 in general, 9 in particular, 11 for fulfilment of desire :-

Beyond this, the sublord of the 4th house must be somehow connected with Venus, the main Karaka for transport or cars .- Selling a car means to negate the foregoing procedure: the house 12 to 4,9,11 indicate the sale: 3,8,10. Again 11 for the fulfilment of the ambition.

There are 8 more houses and we should see which of them are helpful and which are destructive or neutral: Lagna is now the seller. 7th cusp is the prospective buyer. Keeping the car: 4 and 9. This means the denial of the sale.

24 RETROGRADE PLANT Selling the car: 8, 3,10 and 11. House 5 is favourable as it means the fulfilment of the ambition of the prospective buyer. If there is no desire, the buyer will not buy.

The tenth house means that the car will pass into the possession of the buyer and become 4 from 7 = 10. It also shows if the buyer can pay it.

The 12th house means that the seller has his car transcribed upon the name of the buyer at the motoregistry department. The 12th house means also disposal or giving away in general. It is a helpful house.

House six refers to the investment of the buyer. House 2 is the bank account of the seller.

What happened was this An astrologer lady in Germany who takes a correspondence course with me decided to make a five week Australia-Tour with her partner who was in a bad condition of general health. She invited me to join the tour and rent a large comfortable car with good seats and springs for the sore back and ample space for the legs. Such car costs here A$ 1200 for five weeks. So I decided rather to buy an old car in good condtion and see if I can make some profit. I got the 1200 $, paid 180 Dollar extra acquired a Chrysler Valiant Regal 1972 with 92000 miles on.

We made the tour of five weeks with a Yoga-program every morning and an astrology-class in the afternoon driving about 6,600 km up into the far north of Australia. A few days after return when they had left by flight to Europe, I fancied that 83 would be an appropriate number for a horary chart for getting rid of the car as it used about 18 liter of super for 100km, My German Volkswagen Golf Diesel uses only 6.5 litres of the cheaper destillate. The calculation was done on Saturday, the 6th April 1985at 9h29m a.m. which is previous day GT 23h29m. Ayanamasa

a) Moon must reflect the problem clearly b) The sub lord of lagna should decribe more or less clearly as well.

Moon is lord of lagna: it is the problem of the questioner directly

Moon in two in the star of 4th and 9th lord Mars in 9, Moon shows the recently acquired car.

Moon is in the sub of Saturn in 3, a house of sale.

Moon aspects the 8th cusp, another house of sale Moon is in vice-versa aspect with 3rd and 10th lord Venus in 8. So Moon signifies Ac, 4,9 = my car. In a round-about manner Moon signifies all the three houses of sale: 3,8,10, Saturday, 6th April 1985 at 9h29m a.m. in Sydney/ Australia.

Ruling Planets: Day lord : Saturn retrograde. AC signlord : Taurus, Venus retrograde. AC stariord : Sun. Moon-signlord : Mercury retrograde. Moon stariord : Mars conj. Rahu. The strong Ruling Planets : Sun, Rahu. The weak Ruling Planets : Mars, Moon, The retrograde Ruling Planets : Venus, Mercury, Saturn. AC in fixed sign = 3rd zone for Sun/Moon-Transit from present poistion: 1) Libra, Venus, Rahu-star.

2. Makara, Saturn, Rahu-star. 3) Kumbha, Saturn, Rahu-star 4) Aries, Mars, Sun-star, Sun-sub. 5) Aries, Mars, Sun-star, Moon-sub. 6) Aries, Mars, Sun-star, Mars-sub Moon in vice-versa aspect with sun and in sign, star, sub of rulling planets becomes also a ruling Planet Mercury gets direct on 18th April 1985 Venus gets direct on 26th April 1985. Lagna-Sub lord Saturn is in 3 in own star and own sub and aspects the 5th and 8th lord jupiter, the 10thcusp and is posited in the sub of the 11th Lord. Saturn therefore is connected to 3, 10,5,8 and 11.

Moon reflects well and the Lagna-sub-lord promising some success.

The car is indicated mainly by the 9th house as it is recently

28 RETROGRADE PLANT acquired. The condition is now, that this sub lord of the 9th house must be somehow connected to Venus, the main indicator for cars: Sun lord Sun is on 30 conjunct Venus That is sufficient. All conditions are fulfilled and the chart must reveal a) when the car will be sold, and b) what price I will get.

But first we have to see, if the car will be sold:

The sub lord of the 9th house decides this :- Sun in 8 denies keeping the car= 9 So the car will be sold. Sun is in the star of the 11th lord, a good omen, and conjunct 3rd and 10th lord Venus and 4° conjunct 11th lord Mercury.

Sun therefore signifies :- 8,11,3.10 ali the three required house of sale and also the fulfilment of the ambition.

The sub lord of the 11th house, or in short the 11th sub lord Venus is retrograde and in the star and sub of retrograde planets. There is no denial as the main house is the 9th house. However, as long as Venus and her star lord are retrograde no fulfilment of the ambition is possible. Each related cusp for the selling shows a part of the problem. On the 26th of April Venus gets direct and Mercury, her star lord gets direct on 18th April. There is nothing before the 26th April. So there is no use to spend money on advertisements before 26th April has passed.

The sub lord of the fourth cusp only shows holding the car=4+9, but four is not deceiding anything :- Now the date of sale after 26th April 1985 :-

Ruling planets at the start of the calculatiou: Day lord Saturn Moon Rasi-lord : Mercury- Moon Star lord : Mars conjunct Rahu Lagna-lord : Taurus, Venus Lagna Star-lord : Sun

KRISHNAMURTI PADHDHATI 29 The Lagna in a fixed sign means third zone for Moon-transit And for the all important 9th Sublord Sun it will be necessary to transit any sensitive zone which stands for the sale of the car. Sun is in a retrograde star. That does not matter at all. Only Sun must not pass any more in the retrograde star in which Sun is now.

Venus, Mercury, Saturn are retrograde and in retrograde stars. Mars and Rahu and Sun are in retrograde stars. Mars. Saturn, Mercury are in retrograde subs.

Moon aspects three rutting planets vice versa and Moon is in the sign, star and sub of Ruling Planets, therefore Moon also becomes a Ruling Planet.

As Moon signifies strongly 4+9 or keeping the car and only per aspects and sub the sale in a round-about manner, Moon can give the day lord only for the day of sale, nothing more. My rule is that a retrograde planet can give only the sign for a sensitive zone and never the star lordl Transit of Moon.

First sensitive zone for the Moon is : Thula Venus, Rahu- star. 7,4, + 4-5-85

Second sensitive zone is; Makara, Saturn, Sun-star. 12,4 + 10-5-85,

Third sensitive zone is: Makara, Saturn, Mars-star But Rahu in 4° conjunction replaces the Mars as nodes are stronger. So the real third sensitive zone is:

Kumbha, Saturn, Rahu-star 15,4 + 13-5-85.

Moon transits this zone on Monday, the 13th May, 1985.

Sun has to pass into any sensitive zone made up direct Ruling Planets:

Next zone for the Sun-transit is: Mesha, Mars, Sun-star. There wer got: 1) Sun-sub, 2) Moon-sub, 3)Mars-sub. On Monday. 13th May, 1985 the Sun passes thru Mars-sub. The sale must take place on that day

30 RETROGRADE PLANT Moon and 9th sub lord, which happens to be the Sun, are in. the proper sensitive zones then.

It is Mars-Dasha, Saturn-Bhukti, Jupiter-Antra, Mercury- Sukshma 7.5-15.5.85. 12th cusp is: Mithuna, Mercury, Jupiter- star, Venus-sub, Saturn-sub sub

The 12th house stands of transcribing the possession and for diposal of the car, This cusp is running in time: Mars in Venus.Star gives the result of Venus. I always find that a related cusp is running in time when an important event takes place, in horary as well as in the birth-chart. Sometimes small extensions are there. This is a very valuable tool in my opionion to get better results in rectifiction and increase the conviction of a date in horary. -

What I learn from this chart is that retrograde planets can be on the planetary period, it does not matter at all, even when in retrograde stars and retrograde subs. For sensitive zones, a planet must be direct to give the star lord. It does not matter, if such planet is n a retrograde star (Moon moves thru Rahu-star, Sun moves thru Sun-star at fulfilment, both planets again were in retrograde stars before). A retrograde planet is entitled to give the sign lord of a sensitive zone :-

Fortuna should give the price :- either symbolically or directly. However the condition is that Fortuna is connected to the houses of sale, otherwise, how can it indicate the price, if it is not signifying the sale? Here Fortuna is placed in the 3rd house 6° conjunct the 3rd lord Saturn.

Fortuna is placed in star of the lord of the 3rd and 7th house Saturn, in the sub of Venus, main indicator for vehicles and lord of 3 and 10 in 8 conjunct Mercury, lord of the 11th house. In this way Fortuna is connected to 3, 10,8 which are all the

KRISHNAMURTI PADHDHATI 31 required houses for sale and also to the 11th house. Fortuna is in the sub-sub of Mercury. lord of the 11th house. Fortuna could not describe the sale more completely.

Fortuna must give the price: it is 1020 from the horary lagna of number 83.

Symbolically, it gives price of Dollar 1020 as net-price. It is my experience, that the direct costs of a sale as for advertisements will be received additionally. The ads were Dollar 30. So I must receive Dollar 1050

Now what happened There were several weeks of bad rainy weather in April. So there was no use to place the advertisements. My friend who got a telephone agreed to place ads for me and receive the inquiries. We wanted to place the ads for the beginning of Mav for three days. On 24th April was beautiful sunny weather, he could not reach me and placed the ads for 26th/27th April. But that weekend again brough plenty of rain. So the ads had to be repeated for the next weekend.

We got an inquiry from out-of-town, one only and the gentleman announced himself for Saturday, the 11th May to see the car Sun had just moved into Sun-star, Sun-sub and Moon was Makara, Saturn, Moon-star when be came

The ad was on Dollar 1275. We agreed on Dollar 1150, finally. He came back on Monday, the 13th May with a bank-cheque on my name and on 1050 Dollar only. Arrival at 17h 49m = GT 7h 49m

Moon transit in Kumbha, Saturn Rahu-star, Venus-sub, Mercury-sub-sub

The Rising Point was in Scorpio, Mars, Saturn-star, Mercury- sub=day lord and Moon-position of the Rulling Planets on 6th April 1985.

Rule is that the Lagna of the event should transit a sensitive zone made up by Moon-sign lord and Moon-star lord of the Ruling Planets. And the Moon should transit a sensitive zone

32 RETROGRADE PLANT made up the Lagna-sign lord and Lagna-star lord of the Ruling plantes. It bothered me a bit that i should give in to the symbolical value of Fortuna 1020+30 costs = 1050 Dollar. Am ! really bound to it? No Freedom left? So I kept bargaining to get Dollar 1.100 and turned down the sale. It was 18h 36m when he said you take it or I leave now. So I took the cheque finally and no extra money.

Moon had then just entered sun-sub. Lagna rising was Scorpio, Mars, Mercury-star, Rahu-sub.

Lagna was exactly on the planets which ruled the Moon- position on 6th April.

Rahu in Mesha stood for Saturn in scorpio as well, also Mars conjointly Rahu

So the Moon-position was ruled by Mercury, Mars, Rahu conjomtly and the running lagna was in that zone when the deal became finalized.

Moon was out of Venus-sub Mercury-sub-sub, planets which were retrograde on the 6th April and had entered Sun-sub the lagna-star lord of calculation. So Moon was per star and sub on the planets which made up the lagna at calculation (Rahu in Venus-star replaced Venus).

All the cogwheels of destiny were in a perfect place. Net- profit was Dollar 840 for me for buying a car instead of hiring one for the five week tour.

Now I wish to demonstrate the application of the sub sub- technique: 13-5-85 :-

The cusp of the 12th house stands for general disposal of the car and for signing it over: Mithuna, Mercury, Jupiter-star, Venus-sub, Saturn-sub-sub

Mars-Dasha Saturn-Bhukti, Jupiter-Antra, Mercury-Sukshma 7-5-85 - 15-6-85 :-

KRISHNAMURTI PADHDHATI 33 Mars in Venus-star gives the result which Venus indicates. Venus is lord of 3 and 10 in 8. So it is natural that Mars replaces Venus.

Therefore, the exact period of the 12th cusp is running in time.

Sukshma-lord and Lord of the 11th house Mercury transits.

Mesha, Mars, Ketu-star, Mars-sub, Venus,-subsub. Ketu in thula for Venus.

11th cusp = Mithuna, Mercury, Mars-star, Venus-sub, Mercury-subsub.

Mercury is transiting the signification of the 11th cusp without repeating himself. See my other aritcle in which ! explained the subsub- technique. The four planets on a cusp-signlord, stariord, sublord, subsub-lord I call the "signification" of a cusp. The transiting planet does not need to repeat himself to fulfill the signification in full. This was established with several hundred cases.

When an event happens then Dasha, Bhukti, Antra, Sukshma of a cusp related to that event is running in time. This nearly always so, but sometimes smaller deviations are there for which particular rules are applicable.

Sun transits Mesha, Mars, Sun-star, Mars-sub, Ketu-subsub.

Ketu stands for Venus. Sun was in Mercury-star and give the results of Mercury. So one can say, that Sun is transiting the signification of the 11th cusp at fructifiction.

Rahu transits Mesha, Mars, Venus-star, Mercury-sub, Venus- subsub.

Rahu transits exactly in the significtion of the 11th cusp, made up of the planets Mars, Mercury, Venus. It does not matter in which order or if a planet comes single or double. The signification is fulfilled completely.

34 RETROGRADE PLANT Venus transits Meena, Jupiter, Mercury-star, Mercury-sub, Jupiter-subsub.

Venus transits on signification of the 12th cusp. Venus does not need to repeat herself to fulfill the signification. A small diviationis there as Saturn, the subsub-lord of the 12th cusp is lacking. Still the transit of Venus is very meaningful in terms of the signification of a related cusp.

Mars transits Taurus, Venus, Moon-star, Mercury-sub, Venus subsub.

Moon in Mars-star at calculation gives the results of Mars.

Therefore Mars transits on the signification of the cusp of the 11th house.

Ketu transits the significtion of the cusp of the 12th house per sign, star, sub. Ketu transits in the subsub of Sun which was in Mercury-star and gives the results of Mercury. The cusp had Saturn as Subsub-lord. Ketu is 7° conjunct Saturn in the same house, but separated by another sign. Still Ketu stands for Saturn. The rule is that the transiting planet may choose to repeat himself or not, still it fulfills the signification in full. Ketu is significator of 3,10,8,11 = all three houses of sale and the house of gain. Ketu transits the signification of the cusp of the sixth house which shows receipt of money. 6=Dhanu, Jupiter, Sun-star, Moon-sub, Mercury-subsub. Moon was in vice-versa aspect with Venus. So Venus appears here in the transit instead of Moon. Sun, Mercury. Mars, Rahu, Venus and Ketu were transiting inthe signification of a cusp related to the sale of the car. My hypothesis is that always four planets transit directly or indirectly in the signification of a cusp related to an event of importance at the time of fructification. I make use of my finding to rectify birth-charts not only with all the sublords, but prove also the majority of the subsubs on the 12 houses.

KRISHNAMURTI PADHDHATI 35 When I did not succeed to increase the amount and the client was ready to leave without car, it was 18h 36m to 18h 37m, when I accepted his cheque.

At 18h 40m I was back in my home and checked the watch there.

The rising point in the East was onthe significtion of the 11 th house-cusp :-

Scorpio, Mars, Mercury-star, Rahu-sub, Mercury-subsub. Rahu for Venus.

Moon was from 18h 34m till 18h 40m in Kumbha, Saturn, Rahu-star, Sun-sub, Moon-sub-sub. Moon in two stands for receipt of cash, increase of bank-account. But Moon signifies very strongly 4+9=denial of sale. No wonder that the client was ready now to change his mind and drop the purchase altogether. I was satisfied to see that the sale mainfested as calculated by horary on 6th April 1985 and that I received the money as indicated by Fortuna. Only at 18h 36m till 18h 37m the time was ripe for the final deal. So it must be understood that it was pre-programmed that I would give him a tough time before he would leave happily 50 minutes later.

He was brought to my home by another car and wanted to leave immediately upon arrival. But as one can see, neither the Moon, nor the rising point in the East had reached their strongest sensitive zone yet.

Good Luck to all.

Rahu Saturn Kethu 9. Kethu Sun Venus 10. Lagna Jupiter Mercury Generally in service, transfer involves that a native has to change the place of service, and in many cases his residence also. In the horoscope the 3rd house indicates change of place and journey, 10th house shows employment and 12th house signifies life in a totally different environmnets. So whenever one wants to know regarding transfer which presupposes a journey, change of place and duties at a different place, we have to take into consideration the houses 3, 10 and 12.

To proceed on leave and go on tour consider houses 3,9 and 12.

B. Is planetary position of the Present Chart indicates the Querist's Query? Invariably "Moon" indicates the mind. This rule does not fail! In the present chart under consideration Moon is in the constellation of Venus.

Venus owns houses 5th and 12th and occupies 10th house, so as stated above, 10th house shows employment and 12th house signifies life in a totally different environments.

38 RETROGRADE PLANT Now look at thte position of Moon the indicator of mind. Moon is in 3rd indicating change of place and journey. Further 3rd house has an aspect of Sun (7th aspect). The lord of 3rd and Rahu (6th aspect). This strengthens the indications of question, i.e., change of place and journey Rahu aspects 12th house (3rd aspect) and lagna lord Mercury {11th aspect). This strengthens the indications of question, i.e., life in a totally different envronments and indicates personal question. Rahu's position shows employment. Lastly Jupiter(R), lord of 10th house aspects, Mercury (5th aspect), 10th house (7th aspect) and 12th house matters (9th aspect). Thus all the above facts confirm me to declare that the Querist's query i.e., "Transfer" is clearly indicated by the planetary positions Westerners are quite correct in the prepartaion of Bhava chart because first cusp or ascendant is the beginning of lagna bhava and not about 15° behind the ascendant. Hence to solve the present question, let us consider the bhava positions of planets itself. Now about the Transfer-Judges houses 3,10 and 12. 3rd Bhava is occupied by Jupiter(R) and Kethu. Sun is in the constellation of Jupiter and no planet is of Kethu's constellation. Therefore Sun and Kethu are significators Jupiter(R) by occupying the 3rd Bhava will also become a significator but next in strength.

10th Bhava is occupied by VENUS and Saturn. The planets in the constellation of Venus and Saturn are Moon, Mars and Rahu-Venus and Saturn by occupying the 10th Bhava will also become a significator by next in strength.

12th Bhava is vacant.

The lords of 3rd. 10th and 12h are Sun, Jupiter and Venus respectively. The planets in the constellation of Sun, Jupiter and Venus are Kethu, Sun and Moon respectively. So the planets that can cause transfer are Sun, Moon, Mars, Jupiter(R) Venus, Saturn, Rahu and Kethu. Now we have to

KRISHNAMURTI PADHDHATI 39 find out whether any node is in the sign owned by any one of the significators. Since the nodes are always stronger than the planet to bestow results in preference to the planets themselves. Rahu' is in Pisces-Meena owned by Jupiter in Rasi chart with Venus and Saturn Hence Rahu is a strong significator. Kethu is conjoined with Jupiter a significator and further Kethu is in 3rd Bhava. So Kethu is a strong significator. Therefore reject Jupiter and slelect Rahu and Kethu. Any planet inthe sub of Rahu or Kethu (Nodes) will reflect the results as caused by them. In the present horoscope "MERCURY" is in the sub of 'Rahu' and 'Rahu' itself is in the sub of Kethu. Hence Mercury will reflect the result. According to Prof. Krishnamurti, if the significators are more than four the ruling stars of the moment at the time of judgement will help in selecting the planet out of the significator and eliminating a few.

The ruling planets at the time of solving the question are as follows (solved on 4-3-1969 at 6.55 P.M. I.S.T.)

Lord of day Mars

Lord of the rasi Sun

Lord of the constellation Venus

Lord of ascendant Mercury

Lord of the ascendant star Sun

The common planets of the significator and the ruling planets are Sun, Venus and Mars.

Sun is a planet in the constellation of Jupiter, a retrograde palnet. The planet inthe constellation of retrograde planet. appear to give results, but uttimatley falls through Therefore Sun appears to give results but ultimately it is will not give,so reject sun. At the moment of query the querist is running under the major period of Venus and sub period of Saturn and inSaturn Antara. The balance in "Saturn" anthara 1 month 11 days 21 hours. Mercury is in Mars constellation and in Rahu's Sub. Hence as

40 RETROGRADE PLANT stated above "Mercury" will reflect the result during his period as caused by Rahu. Hence select Mercury Anthara as a period of transfer This operates between 16-4-1969 (11 24hours) and 27-9-1969 (23.24hours). Out of this peiod select Kethu Shookshma. This period operates between 9-5-1969 and 19-5-1969. Now let us find out whether Sun transits in the sign of dasanatha or in the sign of bhuktinatha and in star of dasanatha or in bhuktinatha. Luckily on 9-5-1969, Sun transits in the sign of "ARIES" ruled by "MARS" in the star of Venus and in Mercury sub. Further 9-5-1969 is a Friday ruled by Venus (Planet in exaltation and a strong significator in the consideration). During this day "MOON" is in "Dhanishta star" governed by "Mars".

According to Prof.Krishnamurti (a) The ruling at the time of query are the ruling planets at the time of birth and (b) The ruling planet at the time of fulfilment of querist's desire are also the ruling planet at the moment of querry. Thus on9-5-1969, there is a strong relationship belween the ruling planets of that day, i.e., the day of fulfilment of querist's desire and also the ruling planets at the time of query. Hence I declare that the querist's transfer will take place on 9-5-1969 positively.

GOOD LUCK !

THE TRUTH OF THE THEORY OF KRISHNAMURTI PADHDHATI

Man, by nature, is gregarious being. His first learning, as child results from imitation, and, as age advances, he tends increasingly to bind himself to others in partnership. Human beings have a certain chemistry that draws two people to one another unalterably and causes them to fulfill a special yearning for each other. Man's primary partner is a life mate with whom he can function on all the levels of being open to him.

As, we all know everything in the universe is comprised of energy. This energy is polarized between masculine-feminine, positive-negative, day-night, etc. In order for creation to take place, the energy must be polarized. Marriage is the response of human nature to the universal law of polarity. It serves to fulfill the divine purpose of propagating the species. "Marriage", as F.W. Roberstson has aptly decribed, "is not a union merely between two creatures-it is a union between two creatures-it spirits; and the intention of that bond is to perfect the nature of both, by supplementing their deficiencies with the fource of contrast, giving to each sex those excellencies in which it is naturally deficient; to the one strength of character and firmness of moral will; to the other, sympathy, meekness, tenderness there is no earfhly relationship which has so much power to enable and to exalt." The science of Astrology explains existence and life. It is a unique system of interpretation of the corelation of planetary action in human experience Its secret lies in the understanding of Time. The three most imporfant factors which constitutue

42 RETROGRADE PLANT the found action for all astrological work are the planets, the signs and the houses. Each sign is identified by certain characteristics while each house decribes the special department of life through which the individual would enter into relationship with his environment The planets represent focal points of unconscious energies, associated with basic life principles. For instance, Jupiter governs the principle of expansion through growth, materially and by undersatnding In the Hindu literature of yore, he is called 'Brihaspati' (Birth means expansiom Mars rules the principle of activity through enterprise, initiatory force, selfassertion and energetic expression Saturn expresses the priniciple of control or limitation. Venus presides over the priniciple of unity, adaptability and harmoney Mercury's life priniciple is communication through mental and nervous coordination and transmission The Sun's principle is power, vitality and selfexpression, and that of the Moon is fluctutation The planetary prinic ples are not expressed in the same way through all the signs. Ifsuppose, in a chart, Mercury is poisted in Rishba in the 7th house, how will it work? Mercury. as we have seen, represents the communicative principle. Rishaba is an earthy, fixed sign and shows materiality and practicality. Mercury in Rishaba would incline the individual to think in concrete terms so that he would orient himself towards practical goals The sign is as important to a planet as an adjective is to a noun The effect of a planet in a sign would be further modified by other factors, such as the house occupied, the constellation tenanted and the aspects received. Mercury in the 7th house, which rules partnership in life or business as well as all those with whom there is any dealing, reveals that the individual's mental faculties would be used in a concrete or practical way in affairs connected with partnership or any matter which implies reciprocity or rapport with other people. Mercury in the 7th house in the constellation of a significator of the 4th house would donote marriage with a relative, and in the constellation of a significator of the 9th house marriage with an unknown person or a stranger, Mercury in the 7th house in the

KAISHNAMURTI PADHDHATI 43 constellation of lord of 5 occupying the 11th house shows successful culmination of love in marriage and lasting friendship. Mercury in the 7th house in the constellation of lord of 5 occupying the 8th or the 12th house shows difficulties by association, scandal and hostile criticism. Mercury in the 7th house identical with Rishaba generally indicates unsettled married life and dissension with the partner, but also legacy and financial success of the marriage This is so because, in such a case, Mercury becomes the lord of the 8th and 11th houses. Mercury and the 8th house together show mental worries and troubles, and Mercury, the 8th and 11th combined denote gains by legacy, partners money, etc. If Mercury in such a situation is afflicted by constellational position or aspect, it may make the individual liable to litigation to defend against liable from other or an account of liable committed by himself (Mercury indicates writings) or in connection with a legacy left to him(the 8th house rules legacy and the 7th litigation). Mercury in Rishaba in the 7th in the constellation of a planet signifying evil houses shows a domineering, nagging partner, a sarcastic, untruthful and hasty tempered person. If the same Mercury is in the constellation of Venus signifying favourable houses, say 2,5,7 and 11, it indicates a successful marriage to a youthful, loving, kind and sympathetic person who is ever also willing to accommodate. The partner will have good physical features and a graceful countenance. It also denotes an early marriage and an increase of prosperify after that event. The partner will be artistically inclined and would pave the way for domestic felicity and happiness. By studying the planets in this manner and by nothing the interrelationships between the planets (aspects) and between the planets and the various houses, a correct planetary picture of the individual can surely be reached.

Venus has traditionally been styled as the planet of unify, love, sympathy and harmony. She is ever ready to give wound and even to alter her own nature, in order to effect a compromise or arrive at a mutual understanding. No wonder she has been invested with an important role in affairs concerning marriage. She is hailed as the 'kalathra karaka', the cheif governor for

44 RETROGRADE PLANT matrimoney. Of the signs, Thula has connection with the principle of union, and this again is ruled by Venus. In astrological language, the 7th house bears reference to union or partnership of any kind, be it marriage or business or trade ties, agreements, etc. This house more than any other, tells us about the prospective spouse of the individual, the nature of marriage, the number of marriages that will be contracted, and the state of married life in general. In the traditional system practised in India, the old astrologers only took Venus and the 7th house into accout. Proof.K.S.Krishnamurti, author of the now famous Krishnamuri padhdhati, went a step furhter. He argued that as marriage is after all the strictest tie of perpetual friendship and contributes to the expansion of the family the houses 2 and 11 should additionaly be consideered. The 2nd house deals with family and its growth, and the 11th with ties of a permanent character. Thus the 2nd, 7th and 11th houses should be investigated together in ascertaining everything related to marriage, the prospects of married life, the personality of the partner and the time of marriage.

It has been said that marriage comes off but late in life if (i) Saturn is poisted in houses 1,3,5,7 and 10 counted from the lagna, especially so when in houses 4,7 and 11 reckoned from Chandra and or Sukra, (ii) Malefics occupy the 7th and adversely aspected, (iii) Mars is in the 8th, (iv) Moon and Saturn conjoin together in houses 2,7 and 11 and (v) Chandra, Venus and lord of 7 receive evil aspect, especially from Jupiter or Uranus or even when favourably aspected by Saturn. With these principles in mind, we shall presently see how effectively Krishnamurti Padhdhati answers the delay in fructification of marriage and the exact time of marriage.

The native was born on 22-3-1944 at 10-10 a.m. (I.S.T.) at 19'18' North Latitude and 84°51' East Longitude. At the time of birth, the balance of Mars dasa, according to the Vimshottari system was 0 year, 2 months and 28 days.

Significators of Marriage The significators are the planets who are placed in the constellations of those occupying houses 2,7,11 the occupants of these houses, the planets tenated in the constellation of lords of these houses and the lords of 2,7 and 11

2nd House: Rahu is in the 2nd house. Venus is in Rahu's nakshatra, Mercury owns the 2nd. Jupiter is in Mercury's star.

7th House: Unoccupied. Mars is the lord of the house. Mars occupied his own star and Saturn and Moon are also posited in Mar's star.

11th House: Mercury alone occupies this house. Jupiter is stationed in the star of Mercury. Jupiter is lord of 11 and no planet is in Jupiter's star. So the significators are Venus, Jupiter, Mercury, Rahu, Moon, Saturn and Mars. Jupiter aspects the 7th and 11th house(by the 5th and 9th aspect) as well as Mercury in the 11th house. Jupiter is the dasa lord receiving aspect from Saturn, the delaying planet. Venus in the constellation, of Rahu who occupies the 2nd house and also conjoined with Jupiter, lord of 11, and Mercury, lord of 2 occupying the 11th house aspected by lord of 11 are strong significators by virtue of their conjoint ownership of the 7th cusp as star and sub lords.

As Saturn aspects the dasa lord, Jupiter, the 7th house and the Kalathra karaka (Venus) the fructifiction of marriage should be delayed. Also, Saturn is posited in the lagna and in 4th reckoned from both Venus and Moon. The 7th house receives Saturn's aspect. Mars aspects the 8th house. Venus and Moon are in Evil aspect with Uranus (square) and Jupiter (quincunx). Moon and Venus also receive Saturn's aspect according to the Indian system.

KRISHNAMURTI PADHDHATI 47 These testimonies favour delayed marriage, As the sub lord of the 7th house is Venus who is the cheif governor for matrimony and as Venus is also a significator of the 2nd house, the prospect of marriage taking place is confirmed, but as Venus is aspected by Saturn, the time of the marriage is delayed. Bethrothal took place on Friday the 23rd June 1972. At that time the person was undergoing Jupiter dasa. Venus bhukthi and Mercury anthra, Jupiter is posited in the star of lord of 2nd Mercury, in the 11th and the sub of Rahu in the 2nd house. Jupiter is lord of the 11 aspects, the 7th, 11th and Mercury. Venus is kalathara Karaka in the star of Rahu in the 2nd and the sub of Mercury,lord of 2 in 11. Mercury was the lord of the star and Venus of the sub on 7th cusp None of the other planets occupy the sub of the occupants of houses2,7 and 11.

During this time, when Sun transited in Mercury's sign Mithuna in the star of Rahu, a significator not only by virtue of his placement in the 2nd but also his conjunction with Jupiter (lord of 11), lord 7, Mars transited in the 2nd house in dasa lord Jupiter's star, lord of 2 and anthra lord, Mercury transited his own sign inthe 2nd house inthe star of dasa lord, Jupiter, and sub of bhukthi lord, Venus, Moon transited the star of Jupiter. dasa lord, and sign of Venus, bhukthi lord, and when Venus herself transited her own sign and the star of lord of 7, the betrothal took place. The day was Friday the 23rd June 1972.

The marriage was celebrated on Saturday the 19th August 1972 when (i) lord of 7, Mars, transited in Simha in aspect to the 7th house (4th aspect), bhukthi lord Venus (7th aspect) and anthra lord Mercruy (8th aspect) (ii) Venus (lord of the bhukthi) transited exactly in conjunction with the cusp of the 2nd house in the radical chart, (iii) Mercury tarnsited his own constellation Aslesha, (iv) Jupiter and Moon transited in the 7th house, and Moon transitted the constellation of Mercury in trine aspect with dasa lord, Jupiter's natal position. Jupiter's star. Lord of 7, Mars, progresses exactly over the cusp of the natal 2nd house Venus progresses in dasa lord's sign Meena inthe constellation of Mercury, anthra tord

48 RETROGRADE PLANT In Western Astrology, the square aspect has been considered as unfavourable by most of the authorities. As far as experience goes, the effect of square aspect is not evil in the real sense. More aptly, it is an aspect of struggle and, ultimately, success. The square aspect has been found to excite the events in almost all cases. Here Progressed Venus in 18e Meena exactly squares Progressed Marsin 18°-32'Mithuna as well as Progressed VII cusp in 16'-46'Dhanus. Progressed Moon is in exact square aspect to the lagna and the 7th cusps at birth. The effects of aspects of progressed Venus and progressed Moon in the present case serve to show that we cannot lay much store by the so called evil effects of square or opposition aspects. On the other hand, they have been instrumental in bringing to pass an auspicious event. The above illustration amply goes to prove that the system of stellar astrologer propounded by the late Prof.Krishnamurti alone can clearly pinpoint the nature and time of an event accurately. Or else, how can the celebration of marriage in Jupiter dasa, Venus bhukthi, Mercury anthra and Moon sookshma be justified? Jupiter aspects the 7th house, it may be argued, but does marriage take place in. Jupiter dasa whenever it throws such aspect? It is a uniform rule? Venus is, of course, the Kalathara karaka but unless she is connected to the 7th house in some manner can marriage come about according to the traditional rules? Is Venus connected to the 7th here of even to 2 or 11 by occupation? In what way according to the traditional system, are Mercury and Moon concerned with marraige? Do they own the 7th house or occupy it or even aspect it? Stellar astrology alone can give us the right answer. Jupiter by his ownership of the 11th and occupation of the constellation of an occupant of the 11th, Venus by her occupation of the constellation of a planet in the 2nd, Mercury by reason of his rulership over the 2nd, and occupation of the 11th and Moon by her constellation position (in the constellation of lord of 7) brought about marriage in Jupiter dasa, Venus bhukthi, Mercury anthra and Moon sookshama. The day of marriage was a Saturday, and Saturn was a significator by virtue of his situation

KRISHNAMURTI PADHDHATI . 49 in the star of Mars. lord of 7, and sub of Jupiter, lord of 11. This is the real explanation. The rules of Krishnamurthi Padhdhati are simple, sound and scientific and do not admit of any ambiguity. Those who are still swearing by the old system and groping in the dark would do well to see writting on the wall and seek the right path of steller astrology as much to their benefit as to those who approach them for astrological advice.

Good Luck ...

EXALTED JUPITER OFFERS ACCIDENTS

I am now under the major period of Saturn and in the sub period of Jupiter. Jupiter is exalted in my horoscope. He is also in vargottama position. But unfortunately it was in this sub period I suffered from two major accidents while going on motor cycle one on 23-7-1963 and the other on 11 -4-1966. I am at a loss to understand why an exalted and vargottama Jupiter afflicted one with accidents. For the first accident, I paid also a fine of Rs.25/ - as I was charged with wrong side driving. As a student of astrology, I earnestly request you to inform me why Jupiter, so powerfui and so strong, has caused accidents and fine? Also ! request you to kindly inform me whether any more accidents are therein shown for me? If so when? The following is my horoscope:

Satum (R) Moon 18-25 28-24

Kethu Jupiter 8-47 1-52

Rahu 8-47 Lagna 16-22

Mars 4-52 Mercury 24-33

KRISHNAMURTI PADHDHATI 51

Respected Sir,

Events in life will take place under the influence of planets. The ruling planets at the time of event will indicate the ruling planetary periods,

You have met with an accident on 23-7-1963. The day is Tuesday. The constellation ruling on that day is Magha whose lord is Kethu. Lord of the week day is Mars. Mars is poisted in the constellation of Sun and is in the sub of Saturn. Rahu is posited in Magha in your horoscope. Therefore you must be running the major period of Sun or Saturn or Rahu and the sub period of Sun or Saturn or Rahu. Actually you are under the major period of Saturn in the sub peiod or Rahu. You are not under the sub-period of Jupiter on 23-7-1963 as told by you.

Now your question is why Saturn and Rahu inflicted you with accident and fine.

Constellations are the important divisions in the zodiac to read the results of a horoscope. These divisions wil modify the results of planets. A planet may be benefic or malefic. Sometimes they give contrary results. These results depend upon the lordship of the constellation the benefic or malefic planet is posited. Thus a benefic planet offers malefic results and a malefic planet bestows benefic events.

Your Saturn is poisted in constellation, Rohini. Rohini is ruled by Moon. And Moon is the lord of 12th house, 12th house indicates expenditure, losses, imprisonment, hospitalisation, bodily injury, mental agonny etc. Therfore the planet Saturn, the major lord is capable of giving the above results. Rahu is posited in Magha ruled by Kethu and is in the sub of Jupiter. Jupiter holds lordship of 5th house and 8th house. Therefore the sub-lord, Rahu, is capable of giving results of 5th house and 8th house. 8th house indicates accidents, punishment, loss of money, misfortune etc. Therefore the major lord and the sub-lord are strong enough to offer you accident, bodily injury, fine and punishment.

52 RETROGRADE PLANT Again you met with an accident on 11-4-66. The day is Monday The ruling by Moon Moola is ruled by Kethu. Therefore the planetary peiod which will be in operation at the time of the accident must have relation with the constellations of Moon and Kethu. The major period of Saturn and the sub period of Jupiter is in operation at the time of accident actually The major lord, Saturn has relation with Moon and the sub-lord Jupiter has relation with the node.

The major lord is to inflict accidents

Jupiter, the sub-lord has posited in his own constellation. He holds the lordship of 5 and 8. Therefore strong, exalted and Vargottama Jupiter is capable of giving accident. Thus the event took place.

Now you desire to know whether there are any accidents in store of you. My answer is yes'. The coming planetary period belongs to Mercury. He rules for 17 years. He is also exalted and is posited in Chitra ruled by Mars, the significator of accident and is also in the sub of Rahu who is to inflict you with accidents. Mercury is malefic lord to you. Therefore the accidents you will come across during the period of Mercury are even more serious affecting your health and body In the immediate future during the major period of Mercury and the sub period of Mercury and the sub period of mercury is quite capable of causing accidents. Planets Kethu, Rahu, Jupiter and Moon are unfavourable placed and therefore their sub sub periods are eligible to affect accidents and cause ill health, hospitalization and bodily injury. The sub period of Kethu runs from 11-2-68 to 28-4-68. The sub sub period of Moon runs from 4-10-68 to 16-12-68. The sub sub period of Rahu runs from 7-2-69 to 17-6-69. The sub sub period of Jupiter runs from 18-6-69 to 12-10-

KRISHNAMURTI PADHDHATI 53 These periods are quite capable of causing accidents. The luminaries are the exciting planets. Where the native is under the sub sub period of Kethu, Sun transits Revathi ruled by Mercury, the major lord, between 31-3-68 and 13-4-68. He will be in the sub of Kethu, the sub sub lord. on 2-4-68 and 3-4- 68. These two dates are significant to cause accidents.

When the native is under the sub sub period of Moon, Sun transits sign Virgo, ruled by the major lord and also constellation, Hasta, ruled by sub sub lord and exactly reaches the sub of Moon on 28th and 291h September, 1968, indicating dangerous dates. Again he transits Jyeshta and reaches the sub of Moon on 8-12-68 and 9-12-68. These dates also are bad.

When the native is under the sub-sub period of Rahu, Sun transits Arudra ruled by Rahu in sign Gemini, ruled by Mercury, during the 2n half of June and exactly reaches the sub of Rahu on 22nd, 23'd and 24t June, 1969. These dates are also dangerous.

When the native is under the sub-sub period of Jupiter, Su transits Punarvasu and sign Gemini and reaches the sub of Jupiter on 6ir and 7"July 1969. These dates are bad. It is advised that the native should not drive vehicles particulary should not drive vehicles particularly on Tuesdays and Wednedays as a precautionary measure. One cannot dodge his fate Destiny is unalterable propitation offers complete protection in at ordance with destiny.

Just like exalted Jupiter, exalted Mercury is also to inflict you with accidents, bodily injuries and hospitalization.

HOW THE RULING PLANETS WORK?

The method of prognosticating a future event by the stellar system of Krishnamurti Padhdhati is indeed unique. The method properly applied yields accurate results. The late Professor Krishnamurti, the master genius in astrology, also discovered the efficacy of the Ruling Planets which help an astrologer to predict a future event with precision to the date, hour and minute.

A child birth in our family was expected in the month of November 1980 some time during the first week. I was anxious to know in advance the date of delivery so as to make the necessary arrangemrnts. I applied the method of Ruling Planets for the purpose. Indeed I have been a student of the steller system since five years. Details are given below :-

Latitude . 13°N

Longitude 79° -51'E

Date 21-10-1980

Day Tuesday, Mars

Star Poorvabhadram (Jupiter)

Rasi Aquarius (Saturn)

Lagna Taurus (Number 23) Venus Star Sun

Sun Lord Rahu

KRISHNAMURTI PADHDHATI 55

Aspects: (a) Jupiter in the fifth house aspects the horary lagna. (b) The same Jupiter aspects the XIIth cusp. (c) Mars aspects the Moon (4 aspect). (d) Mars also aspects the horary lagna.

Analysis: The lagna coincides with a fixed sign. So the delivery of child would not be immediate. As the lagna receives Jupiter's beneficial rays the delivery would be normal. The Ruling Planets are Rahu, Venus, Sun, Saturn, Jupiter and Mars. Study the longitude of the sun. The sun traverses in Rahu star upto 6in November. Thereafter it moves to Jupiter star in Libra sign. Rahu is posited in Cancer which is 12h to th 5h cusp. So Rahu would not speed up the event. Jupiter is an occupant of the 5" bhava. So it is logical to decide that Sun's transit in Jupiter star (Visaka) would bring the matter to fruition. That period of transit is between 6-11-80 and 19-11-80.

1 shall pinpoint the date which with reference to Moon. The lagna sub lord is Rahu. So one would look for Rahu's star in the signs of the ruling planets. But Rahu is posited in Cancer. So it deputises for Moon the depositor. But Moon is placed in aquarius. Mars is in Scorpio aspects it strongly. Moon is changeable by nature and reflects the strength of its depositor or aspector. Here Mars is its aspector. So Mars comes to the picture as strong fructifier of the event. As Saturn is another strong ruling planet, Mars and Saturn together in a rasi should be excited by the Moon in a stellar position. Two such sensitive stellar position are as below: -

a) 9-11-80, Sunday, Anuradha in Scorpio b) 15-11-80, Saturday-Dhanishta in Aquarius. The date of 15-11-80 was predicted in advance.

56 RETROGRADE PLANT The Sun's longitude in the Moon sub corroborates the days as 15-11-80 Saturday,. Dhanishta. Indeed, the birth took place on 15-11-80, Saturday, when Libra was rising in the east

It is an illustration of how aspects on KP ruling planets modify their nature and function. Glory to the theory of scientific stellar astrology propounded by the greatest of our astrological genius in recent times.

Good Luck.

DIRECTIONAL METHOD OF TIMING OF EVENTS

Progression is one of the methods followed by the astrologers to judge the nature of the results of a person and also the time of the event.

In the text-books published by the various authors, one can learn the results offered by a planet forming an aspect to the various cusps of the houses or by a planet while progressing, forming an aspect with a planet in the horoscope of a person. But none had discussed systematically the results of the lord of a particular house forming an aspect with the lord of another house in the horoscope. Suppose one is born in Aries (Mesha) ascendant; Mars progresses. Mars is lord of 1 and 8 It can form aspect with its original position and also with other planets So one is to read the results as follows:

a) If Mars aspects Sun to Aries (Mesha) lagna borns, (i) The Lord of 1 forming aspect with the lord of 5, and (ii) The Lord of 8 aspecting the lord of 5. b) If Mars aspects Moon, (i) The Lord of 1 aspects the lord of 4 c) If Mars aspects, by progression, Mars radical position :- (i) The Lord of 1 aspecting the lord of 1 (ii) The Lord of 8 aspecting the lord of 1. (iii) The Lord of 1 aspecting the lord of 8. (iv) The Lord of 8 aspecting the lord of 8 d) If Mars aspect Mercury, (i) The Lord of 1 aspecting the lord of 3

58 RETROGRADE PLANT (ii) The Lord of 8 aspecting the lord of 3. (iii) The Lord of 1 aspecting the lord of 6. (iv) The Lord of 8 aspecting the lord of 6. In the same way, the results should be read for Venus, Saturn and Jupiter. As the lordship of house can thoroughly change the nature of the planet, let us discuss the results of the aspects taking the lordship of various houses.

Suppose Jupiter is the lord of 12 What can it indicate? It shows withdrawal of money from the bank. If Jupiter forms favourable aspect with Venus, normally one will predict most beneficial results But for Aries-borns, it threatens loss and many other difficulties, such as visiting hospital due to the illness of the wife or partner in business. (12 house is the 61h to 7" wife.) Therefore the correct method is to judge by taking the lordship of a planet Benefics by nature will prove to be the worst evils for some and the malefics by nature will offer luck to some.

One should not decide the result merely by the name of a planet. All Ramas are not ideals for character. All Krishnas do not mingle freely with women. How many Krishnas there are who remain unmarried as no girl likes them.

Therefore, always consider which planet by progression forms an aspect and note which houses are ruled by it. Then systematically note down as explained above. (2) Then the extent to which the native can gain or loss depends on the strength of the planets in the birth chart. The radical chart is the root in the soil on which depends the growth of the planet

(3) The environment of the native is to be included while judging a chart. It is similar to the fertility used. Two people may have the same, identical aspects One will be very fortunate while the other will enjoy only to some extent. This is because the former is horn in fortunate circumstances and the latter

KRISHNAMURTI PADHDHATI 59 under the very lash of tyranny and oppression. (4) If the birth horoscope (radix) does not promise fortune, no aspect by progression can permanently secure it to the native. So also any adverse result. That is, if the birth chart shows good constitution and long life, do not conclude that the first attacks made upon it will be fatal or anxious- the native may have some sufferings and get over them.

(5) Aspects among the planets maybe found to be formed in a particular week. It is not necessary that the results will manifest inthat week itself. Moon alone moves fast. Its aspects and the results indicated by its aspects will be enjoyed in the same month. But other planets move slowly. Hence the period when the results will be actually enjoyed is to be modified by adopting the following method :-

Suppose Sun, by progression, forms a harmonious beneficial aspect with Jupiter owning good houses and you expect increase in income and improvement in status, say in the second week of December 1965 by careful working. Then take the Ephemeris for 1965 and find out the nearest date when Sun by tansit forms a favourable aspect with Jupiter. That is the date on which the progressed Sun's aspect to Jupiter will operate

Similary, take the example of Jupiter owning favourable houses forming good aspect, by progression, with Mercury and you look for sudden gains by lottery or agency or receipt of the accumulated commission amount. Then you will enjoy the results when there is good aspect between Mercury and Jupiter by transit near about the time when the progressed aspect is in operation. The effect of the progressed aspect will be most noticeable when the same is supported or accentuated by transits of similar nature.

Therefore, the planets having good aspects by progression should also form good aspects (need not be the same: trine aspect by progression will mature by semisextile aspect by transit) by transit (gocharam) also.

60 RETROGRADE PLANT (6) Note which planet forms an aspect while progressing with a planet in the birth chart. The planet which is aspected indicates the nature of the results. The progressing planet. (i.e., aspecting planet shows the source through which the results is enjoyed).

Mars 8° Lagna

Moon 28"

Sun 4°

Suppose the following is the chart and an aspect is being formed between progressing Sun radical Moon. Sun was in 4° in Simha (Leo). Moon was in 28° in Kataka (Cancer) Therefore at the age of 16 1/2 Sun prog. formed 2 1/2. Aspect with Moon radical. At the age of 24, prog. Sun formed semisextile or 30° aspect with radical Moon.

Results enjoyed were: At the age of 16 Vi younger brother went out for study. b) At the age of 24 to the native, the native gained monetarily, through younger brother. At the age of 16 Vi, Sun who is the Lord of 3 (for younger bro'her) formed evil aspect with the lord of 2 (for family and

KRISHNAMURTI PADHDHATI 61 finance). So separation from family and expenses due to younger brother's studies, his life in a foreign place is shown At the age of 24 to the native, Sun lord of 3 formed good aspect with lord of 2 (finance). So the native gains money through the younger brother 2m house to the native is vyaya (loss) to the younger brother as it is 12 to 3. Thus , Moon as lord of 2 shows income or expenses in the family, union or separation from the family. Sun as lord of 3 denotes that the result is due to the younger brother. i.e., income or expenses through him short journey to the native etc., and also separation or re-union of the younger brother.

So also if the lord of 11 forms beneficial aspects by progression to the lord of 2. it promises income through the elder brother or through friends .. 11" house for elder brother and friends) In the case the lord of 11 is Mars. He is also the lord of 6 Therefore, one is to say that the gain may be form the elder brother or friends or from a maternal uncle or by borrowing (6 house), It may be the elder brother or friend may lend money or the maternal uncle may help the native So it should be noted from which house Mars by prong: forms this aspect. If it progresses in Thulam (Libra) 10° and forms quintile (72°) aspect with radical Moon, it should be taken that the maternal uncle will render help as Thulam (where Mars progresses) is 12th to the 6th house. But if Mars progressess in Meena from 8° to 28° and forms trine (120°) with radical moon in Kataka (Cancer) 28°, it indicates that either an elder brother or friend will give monetary assistance to the native or they would give him an appointment as mars progresses in the 10t house. Thus, note the houses over which the planet, forming the aspect, rules From the ownership of the houses note who will give the result, or through which source you gain or lose.

If the same Mars were to progress in Meena 13e and form sesquiquadrate (135°) aspect with the radical Moon, through an elder brother or a friend your income is reduced or you witt meet uncommon expenses through them.

62 RETROGRADE PLANET

Thus, though an aspect maybe formed on a particular date by progression, yet the said aspect fertilises and blooms into physical manifestation in the weekwhen the progressed planet by transit forms a similar aspect (Not necessarily the same as the one formed by progression) with the planet in the radix.

In the foregoing example though a good aspect may be formed on a particular date according to progression by progressed Marsto radical Moon, yetthe effect ofsuch a good aspect will be apparent only in the week when Mars by transit forms a good aspect (need not be the same as the one formed by progression; with the planet Moon in the natal or birth chart.

Applying aspect An applying aspect is always strong. M brings new experiences in life It becomes more and more powerful. It may be either good or bad aspect. The aspect is nearing completion. These effects begin to wane off slowlyas the aspect separates. Separating bad aspect from any evil planet is advantageous i.e., evii will disappear. Separating aspect afteragood aspect also indicates that the jubilant spirit will fade away slowly. There is no further cause to enhance the pleasure.

Illustration:

Mars 20"

Sun 28 Lagna

KRISHNAMURTI PADHDHATI 63 Eg; Sun forms a good aspect with the lord of 7 Mars to a Thula Lagna native. Sun is lord of 11 and Mars is lord of 2 and 7. Hence when sun applies good aspect with Mars, say about even 1-1/2 years prior to the exact (partile) aspect date, the native will have pleasurable pursuits, make friendship with a girl and every day till the date of culmination of the exact aspect, he will enjoy due to frequent contacts with the said girl and dreams (5"h house) Mars in 5. This is an applying aspect. After that date when sun progressing in 20° Dhanus (Sigittarius) forms sextile (60°) aspect with radical Mars (i.e., Sun lord of 11 with Mars lord of 7 occupying 5: house) and then commences to separate form the saextile aspect, then within tha period of 1-1/2 years gradually, imagination, dreams, etc, will end, frequent contact with the girl will get reduced pleasure is also not measured on the same scale and the sweetness of the milk disappears and slowly becomes either rancid or flat and insipid.

An applying aspect keeps one either cheerful and buoyant if the aspect is good or much frightened if the aspect is bad. Similarly, a separating aspect after a good aspect shows fading away of one's benefits or pleasure. To put it bluntly, applying aspect is similar to "Mappillat Azhaippu" "Welcome to son-in- law" on the eve of marriage; separating aspect, is similar to the feeling for the same person, a few days after marriage

Important Separation of a planet from a malefic and its application to benefic gives health, happiness, expansion, etc., after a struggle, If by progression a planet (lord of 2 or 11 forms evil aspect with lord of 10) forms a bad aspect and due to that one is kept under suspension from service. then when the planet further progresses and forms a good aspect, he will be reinstated in service. When the planet applies and forms bad aspect. he is terribly afraid and is put into lot of troubles, worry and ill-repute Once the aspect (exact aspect) is over and gets separated, the

64 RETROGRADE PLANT native gains strength of mind gradually and all matters tend to take a favorable course and when the planet applies to a good aspect, encouraging news will be received and at the time of the exact good aspect he will join duty.

But if a planet by progression separates after a good aspect and applies to an evil aspect, misfortune will overtake the native. If by progression, a series of good aspects are formed, one can definitely expect luck after luck, one following the other so that for a long period, without any interruption, one enjoys the beneficial results. But if by progression a series of bad aspects are formed, then one will suffer much due to a series of misfortune.

If there is a good aspect, then a bad one followed by a good one, and then again bad and so on, then the native's life will be like a wheel like day and night, alternately enjoying good and experiencing bad. Ifa planet separates from a malefic and applies to another malefic aspect, the evil is augmented double fold and worst experiences will be undergone like a person on his way home from office being pick-pocketed on the salary day and finding a baftalion of creditors waiting for him to return home.

Aspects to the cusps of houses are very important, but if the birth lime is not very correct, they may be omitted, otherwise they wilt only mislead A difference of every four minutes in the birth time changes the cups by one degree, but such a difference of 4 minutes or so does not perceptibly change the planetary position. Therefore , wise astrologers pay more attention to aspects between the planets,

Of aspects to cups, the conjunction is of most importance, especially with the cusps of the 11, 4h, 7th and 10"h houses called the 'angle's of the chart. The directional systems of the west have a basis in common, namely that one degree movement or progress measures to

KRISHNAMURTI PADHDHATI 65 year of time of life, though they differ in the manner of deployment of the degree measure. There is the system of symbolic Directions which employs the one degree measure in a symbolic sense by uniformly adding to the birth positions of the planets as many degrees as are denoted by the number of years elapsed since the year of birth. Then there is the sepharial's system which finds it facile to employ the mean motion of the Sun (59'-8") in his primary directional system, (Incidentally, it may be mentioned that in this system the planets and house cusps are not only progressed in the direct or natural order of the zodiacal signs but are also progressed in the converse or reverse order of the zodiac,called converse Directions or Regressions which are apparently as effective and reliable as the forward directions or progressions. An allusion to regressions occurs in Ramadayalu's "Sanketanidhi" vide slokas 10 and 11. Sanketa VII, which lends support to the view that a day is equal to a year of life, the basis of the directional systems popularized by Alan Leo and sepharial). The entire structure of the western system of Directions and progressions seems to rest on biblical authority. There is a strong undercurrent of unity between the directional systems of the West and the Indian Vimshottari or Nakshatra Dasa system which gives most accurate results and, on that account, the most complete system of predicting events denoted in the nativity or birth chart. In the Vimshottari system, a period of 120 years is represented by a trisected arc of the zodiac comprised between the point of commencement of Aswini nakshatra and the end point of Aslesha nakshatra, extending to 120° giving the measure of 1 for a year From the fact that the Sun takes a day to more 1° in the Ecliptic, it would seem that the Nakshatra Dasa system is solar based like the Day-for-a-year system propounded by Alan Leo The directional systems of the west are of recent origin, while the Vimshottari system has existed from the time of antiquity being attributed to the venerable Sage Parasara, father of the great Sage Vyasa who wrote the Mahabharata The fundamentals on which the directional methods of the west rest are undoubtedly true, but the manner

66 RETROGRADE PLANT of reading the results requires to be revised, that is say the system of reading should not be confined to directional aspects alone. The planets are constantly on the progress, and irrespective of whether there is any aspect (including conjunction) or not by direction, the planets progress through certain, houses and occupy certain zodiacal points which are co-ruled by one or move more planets as the sign, star, sub lords, etc., Logically, the method of prediction should also take into account the zodiacal degree through which the planet progresses and the nature of influence of that part which the progressed planet will activate. The utility of the western directional methods would be greatly enhanced if the results are read in the manner enunciated in Krishnamurti Padhdhati and by following the sidereal or Nirayana zodic for predictive purposes.

Good Luck.

SIGNIFICANCE OF RULING PLANETS IN K.P.SYSTEM IN GETTING A JOB

Part 1 Q. When will I get a Job? On 2.3.2001 Friday night my friend Mr. Mani called me overphone to know about the employment for his daughter-in- law. He said that she is weeping due to no results have come so far, even though done well in the interview. She also said that she has attended about 10 or 15 interviews with no results so far. I immediately asked here to give a number within 249 keeping in mind the question. She unhesitatingly told the number 156. The time of asking was 20.44 hrs IST I told her that I will call her back after calculating with the help of ruling planets. It was Saturday and the time I took for calculation was 20.44 hrs at 13N lat 080.10E long.

The ruling Planets and the charcters are as follows. Day Lord Friday VN Rasi Lord Taurus Vn Star Lord Rohini 12.35.28 Mn Sub Lord Rahu Lagna Rise-Lord Virgo Mercury Lagna Rise Star Chitra 25.12.25 Mars Sub Lord Rahu

RETROGRADE PLANT I noted that Moon was in 9h house and himself lord of 11 and Moon in its own star and in the sub of Rahu who is in 10th house. I will be answering the question favourably to her. (note Rahu in the sub of Moon a ruling planet and 11th house owner) Rahu also connected to lagna as it is deposited in Gemini - lord Mercury -which is lagna (virgo) for the time I have taken up for calculation. (Rahu deputizing Mercury being in Gemini). Moreover the ruling planets are fast moving planets the results wil be very soon. None of the planets are retrogate. By progression I started moving the Moon to Cancer sign mercury star (Ayilyam) and the day should be a Mercurian day. Wednesday. (Why? Mercury in the star of Moon lord of 11) Mercury aspected by Moon 9th aspect trine aspect.

KRISHNAMURTI PADHDHATI 69 she telephoned me on 71h March 2001 night that she got the orders over p: lone at 09.37 hrs and joined at 14.20 hrs same day. She also confirmed that the orders by post received by her Father-in-law at 14.20 hrs exactly.

I checked the Moon's position at 09 37 hrs and at 14.20 hrs on 7.3.2001 Moon was in Moon sign cancer Mercury star Mercury sub, Venus sub sub at 09.37 hrs.

At 14,20 hrs Moon was in cancer sign Mercury star Venus sub Mars subsub. Note Mars is lord of the lagna rise at the time of calculating and also in third house communications. It was so accurate.

Getting a Job (Verification through K.P. Horary System also) - Part II

I was very eager to check the same by actual calculation for the given number so that I can give the results in full and 1 took up for calculation at 00.17 hrs midnight on 2/3-3-2001. I presumed that the reason to work it out for the given number eventhough I have informed her earlier the results with the help of ruling planets was due to Moon-saturn conjuction 11 deg in between in Taurus and aspect of Mars - 7" aspect to 9 house and Mars in 3'd and also aspecting Sun by 4" (aspect Sun being lord of 12, 3r0, 9ih and 12t houses - astrology), a Punaraphoo for astrological calculation - note the position of Moon and Saturn at 20.44 hrs.

The Significance of Ruling Planets in K. P. System

Q. What is the lagna, when birth thime is not known? Ruling planets K.P. reveals. I had been to Vaideeswarankoil along with my friend to know about his life through Nadi Joditham on 10.3.2001 a Saturday. After finishing his reading on nadi, my friend wanted to know about his wife's life through nadi. He don't have the horoscope. But he knows the date of birth and place of birth. He don't know the time of birth. The nadi eader wanted us to keep ready with the horoscope and other details when read the palm leaf. I told him to wait for ten minutes so that I can make out the horoscope and keep it ready hoping that i can fix the birth time through ruling planets prevailing at that time. The nadi reader taken the thumb impression and other details to take out the nadi. It was exactly at 15.20 hrs 1ª at 11 deg n.lat 079.43 e long on 10.3.2001. Ruling planets are as follows.

Analysis : On verifying the ruling planets, she should have born on a Wednesday (Mercury sub lord orf the star of the day Uthiram). Then I justified that she should have born in Leo sign - Simma rasi - Makam, Pooram and Uthiram firsi pada are in leo sign. Since Kethu representing Jupiter and Jupiter being the sublord of the lagna rise I had taken makam as birth star. On verifying the almanac available in the nadi reader's house I checked for the date 20.10.1965. It was a Wednesday Makam started and it was there upto midnight (here Kethu played its role for Jupiter which is the sub lord of the rising lagna cancer

KRISHNAMURTI PADHDHATI 75 16d 23m). It encouraged me a lot to find the lagna of the girl in question.

I fixed two points.

1. Capricorn sign Moon star Jupiter sub Mercury subsub Sun subsubsub.

2. Cancer sign Saturn star Mercury sub or Sun sub. Kethu subsub or Jupiter subsub now I took up for calculation. 1.Capricon sign Moon star Jupiter sub Mercury subsub. It starts from 14d24m27s to 14d,29m34s. In that I took Sun sub subsub which starts from 14d29m59.57s (Capricorn). For which the birth time for birth at coimbatore 11D N lat should be as follows Niryana position of lagna Capricorn 14D29M59.57S and K.P. Ayanamsa for the year 1965 for October 23D 6m40S = Sayana 07D46M39.57S equivalent to Siderial time of birth 14D58M18.99S or 14D58M19S for which on calculation the birth time comes to 13hrs 26mts 03 seconds IST (1 26 p m. IST on 20.10.1965)

3. Cancer Saturn stars Mercury sub the birth time comes beyond midnight. So I dropped the same. And took only 13.26 hrs IST or 1.26 M as birth time equivalent to 18 nazhigai from Sunrise at Coimbatore on 20 10.1965 (Sunrise at Coimbatore is 06.14 AM)

God sends the messenger when you look out for some thing It was exactly when ! wanted to decide the lagna a unknown person come to the nadi reader and presented his horoscope for reading. As per K.P. when a person enters the concerned person should have been bom in the star as per the ruling planets prevails at that time. I immediately told that unknown person that he should have born in poosam (Saturn star) in Kataka rasi (Moon). His eye brows went up in exclamation and said that he was bom in Poosam star.

Note the day lord Saturn and the lagna rise star poosam for the time taken see how K.P's rulling planets reveals the fact,

76 RETROGRADE PLANT Now 1 emphatically said that the lagna of the girl is Capricorn 14d.29m59.51s or 14d 30m(284d.30m) and the birth time is 13hrs 26mts( 1.26pm) Note : Day of birth Wednesday Mercury a ruling planet Rasi - Leo - Sun a ruling Planet

Star Makam - Kethu (representing - Jupiter a ruling planet) Lagna rise - Capricorn - Saturn a ruling planet. L.R.star- Thiruvonam-Moon a ruling planet sublord - Jupiter a ruling planet sub sub lord - Mercury a ruling planet s.s.sub lord Sun a ruling planet. Now all the ruling planets suited in the birth. Conclusion - The nadi reader finished his reading and gave the horoscope to see whether it tallies with the one I have made it with the help of ruling planet. No doubt, and to our astonishment it was exactly coinciding not only with the lagna but also the time of birth for which the nadi reader said that the time of birth was 18 nazhighai. Which was a cent percent accurate. It is only a shear calculation of K.P. System. Hail K.P K.P. followers may please take care in selecting the ruling planets so that you will succed in 100% prediction.

The significance of Ruling Planets & Restoration of Power Supply It was on Wednesday the 21.02.2001 a Sunny evening at 4.00 p.m. the electricity went off in my area my wife was cursing the E.B. My son immediately telephoned E.B. regarding the same and they replied that power will come in another two hours. As usual my mind sought for the help of R.P.s in K.P. system, to find the exact time of power restoration. Meanwhile my wife asked to predict about the restoration of power I asked her to give a number within 249, she gave the number 143, libra sign 26D.33M.20S, I started working at 16.16h same day 21.2.2001 at 13D.N.lat 080.10E Long.

KRISHNAMURTI PADHDHATI 77 As per K.P sixth reader page 103 para II, where in Sri KSK. has said to take the RP's at the time of erecting the zodiac and the lagna sign lord, star lord and sublord of the given number and the 11thcusp signlord and stariord, sublord for the event to happen, as such I worked out and told my wife that the power will not come at 18,00 hrs but will be delayed further and it will come only around 19.03 hours. We waited for 18.00 hours to cross first. The power has not come, my heart beat stated increasing as the minutes needly started galloping towards 19.00 hrs. At last at 19 hours in picking up the R.P and the event to fall.

On analyzing the RP's Moon and Saturn combination delays the event. That is why I told my wife the power will not come as per EB but will be delayed further . On scrutiny of lagna of the given number and the 11'buspal points of zodiac, and the event has to happen in few hours, I took Sun sign Leo as lagna rise for the event and Venus star and in the sub of Jupiter.

I calculated the time (IST) for the lagna to rise at the east for Leo 21D 22m14S using the Krishman's K.P.Tables of house and found the time exactly 19h.02m.40s.

As per our guruji Shri K.S.K at the judgement of R.P.'sthe Moon's position will indicates his birth lagna position and the lagna position indicates his Moon position at the time of his birth. This is also confirmed once again in this article. Hats of Sri. K.S.K and his marvellous findings.

EDUCATIONAL ASPECT OF KRISHNAMURTI PAPDHATI

In this article I am focusing on educational aspect both at graduate and master level. Society is changing with unprecedented rapadity. New technologies are not only transferring working atmosphere but also offering new ways of learning. Nowadays, for instance, nobody has job any more every one has a career. Education in the new technological world has playing a pivotal role right from the lower level to higher level of studies. In this competitive world, everybody is striving hard to secure graduation or PG. degrees.

The curriculum prepared according to University norms contains a selection from the present knowledge that is indeed to be useful in the future. The existance of information technology, Bio-Medical Technology and setting up of Numerous Engineering as well as Medical College has made wide choice for the native to choose the proper education in specialized branch of his own choice.

The invention of sub theory by our Guruji Prof. K.S. Krishnamurti has made the Astrological Science in a simple and crystal clear subject for the predictive tool. According to Sri K.S.K. for any graduate education one has to asses from the 4 house and its sublord

If the sublord of the 4i cusp signifies 11 along with 6h house the native will be very competitive and will secure a good percentage in his education. If the 4" cuspal sublord when connected to 8 along with 2,10,11, he will complete the degree with obstacles.

82 RETROGRADE PLANT If the 4h cuspal sublord when connected to only 3 and 12 then he will not complete his education.

If the 41h cuspal sublord when connected to 3 cusp along with 10 or 11 then one will stay in hostel and complete the education.

Now-a-days introduction of correspondence education through distance mode from various national and International University has given an opportunity for the students to complete the degree. For this we have to assess from 4th cuspal sublord that is if the 4th cuspal sublord signification 3, 9 or 12 without any connection 4 and 10 then one will study through correspondence to get graduate degree.

Here are the few astrological signification of the planets and Zodiac Science for judging education (refer table 1) Table 2 shows the combination of planets and Zodiac science for assessing the graduate degree course. Note : For assessing the higher education or Master's degree consider the same combination of planets and Zodiac science. In this case we have to judge from 9h cusp and its sublord.

KAISHNAMURTI PADHDHATI To be popular in Astrology, the sublord of the 9th must be Mercury or Jupiter signifying houses 2-9-10-11-5. Such of those natives, whoever it may be, they will be genius and also popular in the world of Astrology. If connected to 12 house, they wil make new findings in the science of Astrology. With the help of above combination one can interpretate whether one will join the particular course or not. If any suggestions or improvement, readers or K.P. followers can send the feedback.

WHEN I WILL GET A JOB? K.P. ANSWERS

The above question was put to me by one of my clients who is well versed in Traditional Astrology and also has a fair amount of grasp on KP Principles Though I asked him to attempt himself for an answer through KP Horary principles, he replied that he cannot handle such questions himself with confidence.

Therefore I had no other alfernative than to handle this Horary question myself. The question was put to me on 27-7-2001 at 10.13 a.m. at my above residence where he consulted me. Since I had some other work in hand i could attend to this question only atter sometime. I prepared a Horary Chart under KP Principles for the No. 117 given to me, on 31-7-2001 at 12 hours 6minutes and 37 seconds at my above residence and the same is attached to this article.

Verification Of Query :- First let me examine Moon, the controller of thought process and mind. Moon signify houses 3 and 11 directly and 5 and 8 through aspect. He is in the Star and Sub of Kethu who also signifies 3 only. The star and Sub Lord for Moon viz., Kethu is occupying the Sign of Jupiter, Sagittarius and he is also being aspected by this Jupiter, owner of 4 and 7 and occupying 9 and also Venus who is the lord of 2 and 9 occupying 9. Jupiter is conjoined with the 10th house and this Venus is also conjoining the Jupiter. Kethu is in his own Star and Sub of Saturn, owner of 5 and 6 and occupant of 9. Thus we find that Moon confirms the query but also tells more to us How ? 2,6,10 and 1t relates to his job. 3 indicates that he is moving hither and thither in search of job 4 indicates that though he is without a job, he is happily enjoying the comforts of his Home and use of vehicle. (He owns a Scooter in which he moves around) 5 and 9 indicates that he has already

KRISHNAMURTI PADHDHATI 91 lost his job and is now jobless. 7 indicates that he is in contact with a lot of friends and business persons and even an Astrologer like me, in connection with his job and finally 8 indicates the trials and tribulations he is undergoing on account of loosing the job.

Let me now take the Ascendant Sub Lord and find out what he has to say about this query. The Ascendant Sub Lord is Mercury, occupant of 10 and owning 1 and 10. He is in the Star of Saturn, owner of 5 and 6 and occupant of 9 Mercury is conjoined with sun occupying the 10" and owning 12"and this Sun is also conjoined with 11th and hence Mercury also gets the signification for 11 and also the other Houses aspected by Sun viz., 1.2,3 and 5. Sun is in the Star of Saturn owner of 5 and 6 and occupant of 9. Thus the Ascendant Sub Lord is connected with houses 1,2,3,5,6,9,10,11 and 12. I don't think there is any need for my elaborating further about these significations and how they fully reflect the query.

Whether the Matter is Promised or Not? For this we have to examine closely the 11 Cusp Sub Lord's disposition. In the Chart under examination the 11h Cusp Sub Lord is Venus with no Planets in his Stars and he is also the Cusp Sub Lord for 2nd .Thus the 11th Cusp Sub Lord is signifying two out of the four houses required for this event and he is also conjoined with Jupiter who in turn in is conjoined with the 10th house and this Jupiter is 6* Cusp Star and Sub Lord without any Planets in his Stars and hence very powertul to give result of this house. Therefore we can straightaway conclude that the consultant is bound to get job. It may be noticed that this Venus is neither retrograde and also not in the Star of a retrograde planet since it is in the Star of Mars who is in direct motion in the Horary Chart prepared for the query. The other method to find out whether the matter will materialise or not is to find out whether the Cuspal Sub Lord of 10" the main house for this event is a significator of either the main house or one of the subsidiary houses or 11"h. It is seen that in the Horary Chart

92 RETROGAADE PUNT the 101 Cusp Sub Lord is Moon in the Star and Sub of Kethu who is occupying the 4" house representing Jupiter who is conjoined with the 10h house and who is also the 6'h Cusp Star and Sub Lord with no Planets in his Stars and this Moon itself is the owner of 11"" with no occupant in it. Thus under the second method also it is confirmed that the matter queried upon will get a positive answer only.

Every KP follower knows that for answering the above questior we will have to find out first the significators for houses 2,6,10 and 11 since 2"0 respresents increase in income, 6 stands for service by day to day attendance, 10 stand for profession and 11 stand for success and gain in the job. Therefore 1 am tabulating below the signifactors for the above houses. The signifactors include those that signify the houses in question through aspects and these are given in order of Strength i.e, the strongest appear first, and the others follow it. Etc., etc. I am omitting Neptune, Uranus and Pluto from the signifactors since they do not own any house and they are not allotted specific stars etc.,

2 = VENUS, SUN, MERCURY, JUPITER

6=SUN, MERCURY, SATURN, MARS

10=MARS, SUN, MERCURY, JUPITER. SATURN. RAHU. KETHU

11 =SATURN, MOON, Sun, VENUS

I am now indicating a useful process for selecting fruitful significators. I am tabulating below the Cusp Sub Lords for houses 2, 6, 10 and 11 and the significators placed in the Stars of such Cusp Sub Lords.

CUSP SUB LORD PLANETS in the stars of such cusp sub lords 2= VENUS NONE (No planets in the stars of venus)

KRISHNAMURTI PADHDHATI 93

6= Jupiter None (No Planets in the stars of Jupiter)

10= Moon Saturn

11 = Venus None (No Planets in the stars of Venus) Therefore under this Method we find Venus and Jupiter emerge as very strong significators for 2, 6 and 11 and for 10 Saturn has emerged as a Significator but he cannot be taken as a fruitful significator since he is occupying the 9 which is negating 10. Then Whom are we to select as a fruitful" significator for 10"r from the list of significators indicated above. We find that Jupiter though occupies 9t he is conjoined with the 10th, the house of profession and therefore he comes as a very powerful significator for 10 and there are no planets in his Stars as mentioned above. It may be found from the Horary Charf that Kethu the Node is occupying the Sign of this Jupiter and he is also being aspected both by Jupiter as well as Venus who have emerged as very powerful significators. Therefore Ketu, the Node also becomes a powerful significator for 10th as well as 2nd and 11 since it is being aspected by Venus who is the Cusp Sub Lord for 2 and 11 with no planets in its stars and hence very powerful to give result of these two houses along with 6 and 10 since this Venus is conjoined with Jupiter. Finally, KETHU, VENUS AND JUPITER emerge as fruitful significators to give even.

I would like to stress the point here that only atfer this stage of the examination is reached, we will have to seek the help of the Ruling Planets.

A doubt may arise in the minds of the readers why we should seek the help of Ruling Planets since we are having only 3 planets signifying all the required houses and why not take these 3 planets straightaway and arrive at the conclusion. Yes, this can be done, But our Great Guruji has given us the DICTA that only the Ruling Planets are the correct guide on any matter and

94 RETROGRADE PLANT hence we have to work out the Ruling Planets and find out whether the above 3 planets operate as Ruling Planets so that there may not be any doubt in our mind whether they can give the result.

I sought the help of Ruling Planets on 31 -7-2001 at 14 hours 30 minutes and 55 seconds at my above residence and the RPs chart is also attached to this article. It may be seen therefrom that the following have come as Ruling Planets.

Ascendant Sub Lord = Kethu Ascendant Star Lord = Saturn Ascendant Sign Lord = Mars Moon's Sub Lord = Venus Moon's Star Lord = Kethu Moon's Sign Lord = Jupiter Day Lord = Mars Let us take up the elimination process to remove the tempters from the Ruling Planets by utilizing the principle of retrogression. We find none of the RPs are in the Stars/Sub of any retrograde planet. Therefore all the above RPs quality as final RPs for the event.

We find that Venus, Kethu, Jupiter are Common amongst the RPs and Fruitful Significators, who can give result provided their period is in operation in the Horary and the Transit Also Agrees.

It may be seen from the Horary Chart that on the date of examining the Horary Chart viz., 31-7-2001 the following Planets rule as Dasa, Bukthi, Anthra and Sookshma Lords. Kethu, Kethu, Moon and Rahu. It may be seen that both Moon and Rahu have not figured as fruittul significators in the final analysis. It may be seen that Venus has figured as a strong significator on two counts - 1) He is the Cusp Sub Lord for 2nd and 11th in the Horary Chart for No. 117 and he is also conjoined with Jupiter the Cusp Star and Sub Lord for 6th and this Jupiter is also conjoined with 10h the house of profession and there

KRISHNAMURTI PADHDHATI 95 are no planets in the stars of Venus and Jupiter. Further Jupiter and Venus are aspecting Kethu by an opposition aspect which is a favourable one. Thus the event can happen only when these three planets operate as period Lords in the Horary Chart

Now the Astrologer is facing the greatest challenge. In what manner? No doubt the Dasa Lord Kethu is in operation up to 17-6-2008 and will be consultant be satisfied if we simply say that before the above date he will get the appointment. We will have to narrow down to the earliest date by which he can get a job. We have nearly two Zones which are covered by the three planets and out of which one are we to select. We find that Kethu Dasa and Kethu Bukthi is in operation up to 14-11-2001 and hence we can arrive at a tentative conclusion that before 14-11-2001 the consultant will get the job provided the transit agrees. And within the above date i.e., 14-11-2001 Kethu and Venus Anthra are already over by 20-7-2001 We are left with only Jupiter Anthra in Kethu Dasa and Bukthi which operates between 10-9-2001 and 30-9-2001. Can he get the job within this period? Who will decide this? Only Sun transit can decide about this since the event 1 to happen some months after the examination of the Horary Chart. Before than we have to decide during the transit of which out of the 10 zones indicated above where Sun transits the event will fructify. For this we have to first see in which sign the Ascendant in the RPs Chart has fallen. It is seen that the Ascendant in the RPs chart has fallen in Scorpio whichhave to find out the strong planets who is a fruitful significator who aspects the 11. We find Jupiter one of the fruitful significator is fixed Sign which indicates that there will be delay in the fructification of the event queried upon. Next we have to find out the strong planet who is a fruitful significator who aspects the 11. We find Jupiter one of the fruitful significator is aspecting the 11" with a Square aspect. No doubt Sun and Saturn aspect the 11* with favourable aspects and Sun is also conjoined with the 11th, but they are not the fruitful significators. Therefore we have to decide the timing based on the aspect of Jupiter onty Since Jupiter is a slow moving Planet and the Ascendent in the RPs chart has also fallen in a fixed sign scorpio

96 RETROGRADE PLANT it is clear that the event will happen after delay and that too when Sun transits the Last Zone covered by all the three fruitful significators viz., Kethu, Venus and Jupiter. This last zone falls between 265-53-20 and 266-4-00. Sub reaches this zone on Thursday the 10.01.2002. On this date Sun travels in the Sign of Jupiter. Star of Vensu and sub of Kethu and hence I have decided that the Consultant will get a job on this date when Kethu Dasa, Venus Bukthi and Anthra are in operation. This day has been selected since the constellation Lord on the that day is Saturn, owner of 6"h the house of service and Sub of Jupiter the powerful fruitful significator for 6 and 10 along with 2 and 11. Since Moon is transiting in Saturn Star and Jupiter Sub only up to 10-25 a.m. on that date the Consultant will join duty during this period.

The above decision has been taken by looking into the Ascendant in the RPs. There is another pratice in KP for finding out when an event will materialize. According to this theory if the 11* Csup sub Lord is a fast moving planet and is occupying a common sign then it is very difficult to predict correctly when the event will materialsie. In the present case it may be seen that the 11* Cusp Sub Lord is Venus, a moderately moving Planet and is placed in the Common Sign, Gemini. Therefore it is very difficult to come to any conclusion about the time when the event will happen but it can be said that the event will happen in due course of time and what is this time If we follow this method we are having three options to declare the time of happening of the event. They are: 1) When sun transits between 205-46-20 and 206-33-20 i.e. 11/12-11-2001. 2) Between 17/ 19-12-2001 when sun will transit in 240-46-40 and 243-00-00. 3) On 10-1-2002 when sun transits in 265-53-20 and 266-40- 00. Therefore under this method we have to declare that the consultant will get his job on any one of the above dates.

When all is said and done I feel that such cases it is advisable to take a decision based on the ascendant sign of the Ruling Planet chart in which case the Consultant should get his job on 10-1-2002.

EMPLOYMENT PROSPECTS AND PROMOTIONS

In olden days there was a proverb meaning job is man's prestige (udhyogam Purushalakshnam) Nowadays persons study by pending money and on attaining required qualifications convert this into money by joining in some employment. In other words it is also a business.

In a chart 10"h house represents profession but 6" house indicates service. As said above it is to bring money which is represented by 2nd house. Above all one should have the luck to fulfil his desires which is shown by 11th house. Thus for deciding employment houses 2,6,10and 11 should be studied carefully.

Before proceeding to find out the ways through the stellar theory propounded by Late Prof.K.S.Krishnamurti let us have a quick look at the traditional books versions. 1.JATAKATATWA: A person will be employed in Government under the following conditions.

1. The Sun in Kendra.

2. The Moon in Kendra or Kona.

3. If lord of 10th is in 11h or Kendra.

4. If Jupiter is in Ascendant or fourth. 2.PHALA DEEPIKA. Profession is prescribed for the lord of Navamsa occupied by the planet owing the 10th place from lagna. the Moon, the Sun (Severally) whichever is strongest,.

KRISHNAMURTI PADHDHATI 103 Note: When once Navamsa is mentioned it is nothing but stellar theory. The house is divided into 9 parts. (Navamsa) where it coincides with one quarter of star prescribed or that further particular rasi).

The position of several planets owning 10" house be poisited in

1)Sun: Earning thro' wool, Medicines, Working on metals, serving under king i.e. Government. 2) Moon: Trade in water products (Pearls, Coral) agriculture, Cattle Trading in cloth etc. 3) Mars: Metal, Warriors, Cook, Land, Spy or even theft courage is portfolio of Mars). 4) Mercury: Clerical Job, Poet, Astrology, Study of ledas, Manthra etc. (Knowledge is ruled by Mercury).

5. Jupiter: Religious way, Preaches, Lending Money Jupiter rules finance).

6. Venus: Cows, Buffaloes, Fine arts, Ornaments, Silks etc. (Venus for pleasures) 7) Saturn: Casual Labour, Bare activities, Dealing roots, Low Morality (Saturn is for low deeds). 3.UTTARAKALAMRITA: This book suggests that service should be predicted only from 6 house while 10 house shows Government works, service, honourable living intention to command etc.,

The various planets which rules among things the following also, are to be judged by using astrological knowledge, for deciding livelihood. 1) Sun: Royal favour, kingdom, rulership etc., (It is to be decided that this will give job in government establishments). 2) The Moon: Travel. Precious watery things, Pearl, Coral etc meaning Navy or dealter in Pearl ect.

104 RETROGRADE PLANT 3) The Mars :- Courage, fire, etc., This may mean a warring or even a cook.

4. Mercury :- Education, Wisdom, mathematics, Astrology, Writing, This will make professor, Astrologer and in most case make a typist also whose work is to take copies (Mercury being dual Planet).

5. Jupiter :- Precepter, Treasures, Savings, brilliancy, Oratorial talent.This will produce Lawyers Bankers, Accountants etc and also preceptors.

6. Venus :- All pleasures, sensual, touch, sex etc., this will give dealers in Radio's, T.V. Musicians and in wors condition produce seller of women etc.,

7. Saturn :- Laziness, Ouctasts, Agriculaturists, Hair. This produces very ordinary labourers, bankers etc, but in best cases may give person in tonsured hairs from temples while is having good business. Late Prof. K.S.Krishnamurti in his Padhdhati and stated that 6h house is connected with work and service. It denotes employees, Subordinates and servants, Livelihood(Jeevana) is to be judged from 10* house. He is critical is saying that ones profession cannot be jodged from 10'h house alone, but combined study of 2,6 and 10 house are very essential These houses are called material trinity as these three houses in the zodiac rules earth signs representing material gains for day-to-day life. Prof.K S.Krishnamurti had also given many combination for various profession. This is dealt in detail and hence there is a necessity for reproductions.

Summing up we generally conclude second house which represents finance, 6t house for service and tenth house for profession are to be judged for arriving at the type pf vocation a person will have. In all cases it is necessary study eleventh house also as it represents the fulfillment of desires. The strength of these houses play a very prominent rote in deciding a happy or otherwise service condition. If the second house is

KRISHNAMURTI PADHDHATI 105

weak the remuneration will not be for the hard work, while a weak sixth house denies job satisfaction and so on.

The following planets by rulership occupation or aspects may indicate the types of jobs as indicated.

Sun: Government, Medical Profession

Moon: Dealer in pearls, wine merchants etc.

Mars. Warrior, Surgeons, barbar (in bad position)

Mercury: Astrologers, Typist. Clerks, Professor

Jupiter. Bankers. Preacher. Accountant, Lawyers

Venus: Dealers in Radio, T.V., Finearts, cloth etc

Saturn: Mostly minerals etc.

The combination of planets may modify the type of profession and not change them,

This combination with Mars may produce Mechanical or Agriculture Engineers while Venus may do well with Electronic Engineers dealing in radios, TV, etc. Before winding up this article, let us take two charts for practical study :-

Further to my article under the above captain 1 propose deal with the other part of employment i.e. transfers, punishements and achievements. As already stated, sublord theory, the invention by of K.S.K gives the nearest approach to predictions. I predicted in many cased the events correctly and had praised. God has kept the secrecy only in birth time which may vary due to watches, clocks etc. With all vigil my daughter's chart had to be recast for a correction of 7 minutes though I was present at the nursing home.

If the time of birth is correctly recorded small calculation, by the method called "Pre Natal Epoch" popunded by Baile. may give rectified birth time. Ifit is vary in hours the method known by"Arc of Event" of ay llen George may be applied In the former case place of conception is very essential. It is not known to what this can be used in modern life where couple spends says at various places calling honeymoon and return with legnancy.

In K.P. System, a very small correction based on ruling planets will decide. The sublord theory correctly pinpoints. Used to predict the probable strts of life partners by using the sublord of Seventh cusp. In may case itself, I found that the sublord of 7th cusp to be Venus and my star was "Pooram" ruled by Venus Considering 11" cusp to be first child in case of Males (5t from 7th i.e. wife, who delivers children) it was Mercury. Mercury inflicted and have lost my first child. Sublord of (3" from 11) is Venus and my son was born on Friday. It write many things, but it may not have relevance to subject. This only made me to

KRISHNAMURTI PADHDHATI 109 take prof.K.S.Krishnamurti my preceptor who lit the lamp of intelligence in me.

Riverting to this subject in the chart referred the lord of 10 cusp was Saturn who was in Sun star. Mars Saturn is aspected by Jupiter. It gave him Government that too in railways. (Saturn rules over iron and Masses Sun, Mars and Mercury who are all in Saturn stars and Satrun is dual sign it gave the native income in many ways.

Transfer :- Any service is liable for transfer. It may from one place to another or office/sections. Houses 3, and 12 are to be considered. While the tenth house represents job, change of place is shown by 3 (12" to 4 permanent Residence) and 121h house represents total different environments, when the significators operates dasa, bhukthi etc. transfer is effected.

This gentleman's first transfer was during October when he was in Venus dasa, Saturn Bhukthi. Mercury anthara. The second transferwas during July 59 again in Venus dasa Saturn Bhukthi, Rahu antharam The third transfer was during December 62 when the native was still in Venus dasa, Mercury Bhukthi. Saturn antharam. From then onwards he is continuies at present place but many inter office transfer, of which the significant one was during March 81 when he was in mars dasa, Rahu Bhukthi, Kethu antharam. Though the native was transferred mostly during Venus dasa, because of his position in Mars star (who is lord of 2 & 9 in 4th bhavs aspecting Vensu), he never got separated from his family. His family traveled with him all along. Leave :- Taking leave may be due to many reasons: Sickness functions, journey and so on. While houses 3,9,12 are mostly consulted it will not be out of the way if other house ?. Such as 6 for sickness, 7h for marriage and 5th for maternity (in case of

110 RETROGRADE PLANT females) or even 11 to get the leave sanctioned thereby fulfilling desires, are also takes signification for these houses are :-

ill - Venus

IX-Mars, Vensu

XII -Sun, Mars, Mercury, Saturn

VI-Sun, Saturn

VII-Moon, Mercury, Rahu, Kethu

The native has gone on leave for his marriage during venus dasa Sarutn Bhukthi and Mercury anthram; on pilgrimage during Venus dasa Kethu Bhukthi and Mars Antharam; or sickness during Mars dasa, Mars Bhukthi, Kethu Antharam and again in mars dasa Moon Bhukthi, Saturn Antharam. In all the above cases, transits of major and minor planets had titled the balance and put the major events occur.

Retirement :- Negative house theory is the next subject, 1 purpose to write is on the anvil, 12n house to any house is negative. Houses 1.5,9 are to be consulted for retirement as these are negative houses to 2,6 & 10. Besides the above 81 house also to be consulted as this represents legacy, i.e. provident fund, insurance etc Usually retirement is fixed to 58 years to 62 years depending private or public sector undertaking. But a person can decide for premature retirement or his services may be extended. As per the standard chart this person may have to retire on 31 3.89 as attaining the age of 58 years. He may be running Rahu dasa/ Bhukthi A/enus antharam. The significators for the various houses are

• Moon, Mercury, Jupiter. Rahu. Kethu - Moon, Mars. Venus, Kethu

• Mars, Venus

• Venus

It will be seen from the above that Venus the lone significator of 8th (legacy) in 11thhouse in the star of mars (lord of 2 & 9)

KRISHNAMURTI PADHDHATI 111 with the direct aspect of Mars will take the person retire. The transit of Rahu in 12th, Saturn in 10h and Jupiter in 3rd house also coincide with this for normal retirement. But premature retirement is indicated during Aug/Sep'88 when the native will be in Rahu dasa/ Rahu Bhukthi/Kethu antharam when the transits are more pronounces. Let us see.

HOW LONG SEPARATION?

Most people get married either when young or around the middle age. It is only a small percentage that remains single. Before marriage, there is much enthusiasm and in some cases, this is kept up. In a few cases, this wanes because of the deteriorating relationship between the couple, i.e, how they care for each other. Among the married, a large number lead a happy life with domestic fecility and a few are unfortunate because of the manner of treatment meeted out. Even among the unfortunate category, a few patiently put up with the tyranny of their husband, hopping for better days, but a few take the bold decision in despair, to quit, according to the saying. 'It is better to live in a forest where tigers roam than to live with a despot', and eke out an honourable livelihood elsewhere, so that they could find some solace. All this in spite of the fact that the horoscopes of both the bride and the bridegroom had been referred to a traditional astrologer prior to marriage and his okey obtained. In this article, it is proposed to attempt at bringing forth the sailent points governing happiness in married life and the factors leading to separation.

Given below is the horoscope of a gentleman who lived with his wife for about 10 years to become the parent of just one child.

It happened that when the native was out of station for a few days, his wife, as usuat, went to her parents place in the same locality. On return, the native went to his father-in-law's place to announce his return to his wife but she said that she would like to have some rest and would join him after a few days. A few days passed and she didn't return and even to this day, they are living apart. His personal entreaties and the intervention of some of the relatives has had no effect what ever.

KRISHNAMURTI PADHDHATI 115 This horoscope was shown to a gentleman well-versed in KP. Who consoled the native with his advice that matters will take a turn for the better from February 1975 and in 1978 (exact dates not remembered) normalcy would be restored. However, as matters did not improve, the native casually met me and asked me if I can say anything in regard to the stalemate. However, I was not sure whether f was competent to handle such a huge important matter. Any way, I made bold prediction and asked him to call two days later. The treatment of the subject is presented in the following paragraphs. General principles. Jupiter or Venus being the sub-lord of the 7th cusp and at the same time being a significator of houses 2 or 11 indicates happy married life. Venus in any of the Upachaya stanas and in good aspect shows peace, pleasure and prosperity after marriage, if she is not in the sub of 6 or 12. If such a Venus however, receives bad aspect also, in the conjoint period of Venus and the planet in good aspect, native will be happy; in the conjoint period of Venus and the afflicting planet, there will be disaffection, dissatisfaction or disagreement. Mercury or Moon or Sun as significator of 7th house receiving good aspect from the significator of 11 shows happy married life. Any of the luminaries posited in the 7 house and in favourable aspect with Jupiter or Venus, and who are significators of houses 2 or 11 is conducive to happiness. Venus and even the natural malefics Mars and Uranus in good aspect is advantageous if they are not significators of houses 6,10 or 12. The 7* house to the lagna or the Moon sign occupied or aspected by benefics by lordship is also favourable. Lord of lagna conjoined with lord of 7 and situated in 3 and 11 relationship to the lord of 7, good aspects among the lords of houses 1,2,7 and 11 also denote happy life.

The significators of the 8"h house indicate quarrel and disharmony and they do not threaten, unless otherwise badly placed by sub position, separation. Even though the native suffers at the hands of the husband, she continues to put up withit. The lord of 8th house being a significator of 7th house indicates difficulties and difference of opinion between the couple and the native being a victim of torture. Mercury and

116 RETROGRADE PLANT Mars in evil aspect and either of them connected with the significator of partner in life shows disharmony and the couple wil! manhandle each other. Girls bom in Scorpio lagna will lose temper and with the least provocation, they will not hesitate to retort, as she cares a damn for the husband, if the lagna of Mars is afficted. So beware if such a horoscope is presented for matching. However, if a native is fated to marry only such a girl and to suffer, the astrologer, to whom the horoscopes are referred, will become blind to the harrowing fact and give the green signal. Even if there are no good aspects, if the lagna or Mars is devoid of any aspect at all, that will be an agreeable position and you can't find a better partner than the Scorpio born girl. Let men are of the view that Mars is the only planet which can cause difference of opinion Disagreement, dispute divorce etc. It is not so. Any planet can cause such undesirable effects, if it is in such a position that the sub-lord of the planet is the significator of house 6,10 or 12 or the sub-lord is in the constellation of a significator of 6 or 10 or 12. If the same planet is a significator of house 2 or 7 or 11, such disagreeable experiences will last only for a short period and the couple will continue to live together If the sub-lord is either Mars or if the sub-lord is in the constellation of Mars who is a significator of house 6 or 10 or12, there will be violence and separation. Saturn will put up the trials and tribulations silently.

A native may be married in a particular dasa and after marriage many dasas will run. If the dasa lords are significators of houses 2 and 7,2 and 11 or 7 and 11, separation is not promised. However, a planet may be the significator of the 121 , 1$T and 2nd houses or houses 6,7 and 8 Such a planet's dasa will bring disharmony and separation, because 2 and 7 are favourable houses and the others are unfavourable if the following sub-period is ruled by a planet promising reunion, separation will be temporary, But if the planet denotes death of the partner, as two and seven are also maraka stana, separation will be for ever. The significators of the sixth house bring about separation due to the partner going away, as 61 house is the

KRISHNAMURTI PADHDHATI 117 12h to the 7, but the significators of the 12th house in the nativity show the native himself desiring separation. Also, if the significator of the 7 house is also the significator of 6 and 9 the wife will walk away, but if of 3 and 12,the husband goes away.

A boy may marry a girl in a dasa. In the same dasa, in a different bhukti, there may be separation. This separation is shown by the sub-lord who operates, whereas the dasa lord may have the dual role of marriage and separation. If the sub- period is ruled by a planet connected with harmony, they live together and the ruling planets at the time of her birth will be the lords of the dasa and the bhukthi or the lords of the constellation in which they are posited. When separation takes place, then also the period that runs will be governed by the ruling planets. But the lord of the sub-period will be the significator of 6 or 10 or 12.

Though two planets are in the same sign and star, the results can be quite different due to the lord of the sub. For example, A and B are the two planets in the constellation of the lord of the 7in house. If A is in the sub of the lord or occupant of 2 or 11, he gets married or he meets the girl, reunites and enjoys good time.

If planet B is in the sub of lord of 12 or planets occupying 121h house, in the period or sub period of B, there will be separation. Separation may be due to delivery if the lord of 12 also owns 5 or 11; it may be due to difference of opinion, disharmony or displeasure if the lord of 12 also owns 7th house. If the lord of 12 in whose sub planet B is situated, also owns 3rd house, separation is due to short journey. If the sub-lord owns 9 and 12, separation on account of long journey higher education, studies, overseas trip or stay in a place other than the present residence. If B is, however, in the constellation of lord of 10 and in the sub of lord of 12, who also owns, 3, separation may be due to transfer or visit a holy place. If B is a malefic significator of 2 and 12 on the sub of lord of 12, who also owns 3 and Rahu has some connection with 12. separation may be due to

118 RETROGRADE PLANT imprisonment, IfB is in the constellation of lord of 6 and in the sub of lord of 12. separation may be due to hospitalization for treatment. If B is a strong significator of bhadakastanam of the sub of lord of 12, who occupies bhadaka or maraka stana, separation may be due to departure from this world. While house 2, 7 and 11 are judged for reunion, increase in the number or members of the family by marriage and permanent tie of friendship with partner in life, the significators of houses 2,7 and 11 which are also significators of 1 and 6 or 6 and 10 or 10 and 7 or 6 and 7 etc. cause divorce. Therefore, if the significators of 2,7 and 11 are the significators of 1,6 and 10 separation will surely take place and will lead to divorce.

The dasanatha is an important factor to reckon. If the sub- lord of the dasanatha denotes separation once and for all by being not connected to 2,7 or 11 and being on unfavourable sub, depending on the sub-lord of the bhukti lord, there will be good or bad results in that dasa. If the bhukthi is ruled by a benefic which is on a beneficial sub contributing to the benefit of the native, in the dasa of the planet which is the significator of both good and bad houses, the bhuktis of benefics on beneficial subs will give agreeable results. If the bhukti lords are on unfavourable subs, undesirable results have to be experienced.

Saturn in the constellation of Venus in the 2nd house is connected with the members of the family. It does not mean only increase. If also shows decrease, depending on the bhukthi and antra in Saturn dasa. Any planet connected with the second house can increase the family if it is a significator of 11, but if the sub-lord is an evil significator. Signifying 8 and 12, it can reduce. Separation will be under pleasant circumstances if the sub belongs to 2 and 11; If the sub belongs to 8 and 12, separation will be due to difference of opinion. So, the dasa lord has to offer both the results as he is a signifcator of both. A person may get married in a particular dasa and bhukti and in the same dasa and bhukti, may get separated if the dasa and the bhukti lords are significators for marriage and

KRISHNAMURTI PADHDHATI 119 separation; or a person get married in a parlicular dasa, bhukti and antra and in the same conjoint period, he may get separated. In such a cause, the dasanatha, buktinatha and the antranatha will all be significators for marriage as well as separation, constellation showing marriage and sub denoting separation.

It sometimes happens that a person gets married in A dasa, in which the bhukti of B operates. B is very powerlul to cause separation, but yet it will be baffling to note that separation has not materialized and it just ended with misunderstanding . It is because the dasa lord in this case is not a significator for separation. The dasa lord reigns supreme and if the dasa lord is not a significator of the results which the bhukti lord is to give, the dasa lord will not give the result ultimately.

Anything happening is the result of the combined effect of the dasa, bhukti and antra lords. Therefore, the three planets which are significator of 6 or 12, give separation which may even lead to divorce. The bhuktinatha gives result in the antra of another significator which denotes separation.

Marriage This gentleman was married in Saturn dasa Jupiter bhukti Venus antra on 7-6-1964. It will be perceived from the speculum of significators that Moon, Kethu and Jupiter are first rate significators for marriage. Venus occupying the fifth house as lord of 2 and 7 in her own constellation is alos a strong significator. Saturn in 11 as lord of 11 and in the constellation of Rahu, who is a significator of 2 and 7 is equally strong. Rahu is also a significator of 2 and 7. Moon and Jupiter are in the sub of Saturn in 11. Venus is in Rahu sub. Rahu occupying Jupiter sign Sagitarius has to give the result of pisces, where the 12th cusp falls, and of the 7* house, where Jupiter,is posited. So Rahu sub is beneficial. Kethu in the sub of Mars is detrimental. Rahu in the sub of Mercury in 6 is unfavourable, The favourable planets are Jupiter, Saturn and Venus. While Venus and Jupiter are in quintile, there is no aspect between Jupiter and Saturn. So that in their conjoint period marriage was celebrated is no wonder.

120 RETROGRADE PLANT Misunderstanding developed between the couple and they lived apart from each other from the evening on Friday, 5-4- 1974 when Mercury dasa, Moon bhukti, Saturn antra was operating. The dasanatha, Mercury is not connected to any of the houses 2,7,11 and he is in his own sub (3 and 6). Moon is a strong significator of 7 and less strong for 12. As Moon is in the sub of Saturn, lord of 10 and 11 in 11 and indicated snapping or permanent tie of friendship. Kethu, a significator of 7 on the sub belonging to 1 and 8 can harm. Saturn is a significator of 2,7,11,10 and 12, and he is in his own sub. Saturn has to give both and bad results. Houses 1,6,10 and 12 are favourable to cause separation.

A significant factor that strikes me is that Mercury in Libra, Saturn in Aquarius, and Moon in Gemini are in signs which are in trine to one another, which means Mercury is in trine to Saturn and the Moon is in trine to both Mercury and Saturn by sign position. This constitutes what is called a "Grand Trine". The trine is the most beneficial aspect and brings matters to perfection without the least effort on the part of the native. But the grand trine, according to western authors, works powerfully like a square, which is adverse in nature. Thus Mercury, Moon, and Saturn, who are the dasa, bhukti and antra lords involved in the Grand Trine, will have to give only undesirable results. Therefore, apart from these planets being significators of houses aiding separation, their involvement in the Grand Trine hastened matters. All this is post mortem.

What is more important and of interest is the answer to the query wherther or not there will be reunion. To decide this, the dasa lord's significators are vital factors. Eventhough in a particular dasa, the bhukti and the antra lords are favourable significators for reunion, unless the dasa lord also has that portfolio, among others the dasa locd will not ultimately give the result indicated by the bhukti and antra lords, because the dasa lord is the commander and reigns supreme. In this case, the dasantha, Mercury, is not a significator of any of the houses 2,7,11 and as he is a significator of 8,6 and 11 and as he on his own sub, there will not be even meetings occasionally. However,

KRISHNAMURTI PADHDHATI 121 Mercury is in conjunction with Sun, lord of five, and five denotes pleasurable pursuits. But Sun is not a significator of 2,7 or 11, so that he can give pleasure out of wedlock. Thus the prospect of reunion in Mercury dasa, which extends up to 20-6-1983 is shattered

After Mercury comes Kethu dasa. Kethu is a strong significator for 7, It is in conjunction with Moon, another significator of 7. It is less strong for 1 and 6. Houses 1 and 6 are not favourable. Kethu is on the sub of Mars, lord of 1 and 8 in 8. Kethu is a malefic by sub though signifying 7 and Kethu dasa will not reunite the couple.

Then follows Venus dasa Venus is the chief governer for marriage and she will strive for place and contribute for happiness wherever she is. She is lord of 2 and 7 in the fifth house in her own constellation. This is the most favorable position for reunion. Venus is on the sub of Rahu, who signifies 12, apart from 5.2,and 7. The sub of 12 always acts like scissors in any matter but the sub belonging to 2,7 and 5 is always beneficial. But I am inclined to think in a dirrerent way Houses 2 and 7 are maraka stanas to Aries-borns and Venus in her own constellation as lord of 2 and 7 will be a strong maraka. As the lagna is a moveable sign, the 11 house becomes bhadaka stana and its lord, Saturn, lord of bhakaka stana occupying this house becomes more evil. Saturn signifying 12 also and being posited in his own sub enhances the maleficence and affects longevity.

Moon and Kethu are strong significators of 7n house, The sub of Moon belongs to 10 and 11 and the sub of Kethu belongs to Mars, lord of 1 and 8 in 8. Itis stated that a planet or node on the sub of lord of lagna cannot be harmful. But as mars occupies Scorpio owned by him, where the 8th cusp falls, Mars in Scorpio will be in the 8th sign from the sign occupied by the lagna. Further Mars is afflicting the lagna by a sesquiquadrate, a bad aspect. Saturn and Sun are the only planets which are exempted from attracting the evils of being posited in the 8th house. Lagnadhipathi in Ayushastana may be considered good for

122 RETROGRADE PLANT longevity. But Mars is in the constellation of Mercury in 6, which is evil. Houses 8 and 6 thus connected will work like Rajayoga only for matters connected with finance. For longevity it is evil.

The principle is: planets in 6,8,.12 to any sign or house or lord of the sign connected with lords of 6,8, or 12 is harmful to matters signified by the signs etc, to which they are in such bad relation and the lord of the sign so connected gets spoilt. On this analogy Mars in Scorpio is in 8h sign from Aries, both of which are owned by him. As Mars occupies the 8h sign from Aries, Mars is evil for lagna results. Mars in Scorpio will be favourable for matters signified by scorpio, but Mars in Aries will be auspicious for matters signified by both Aries and Scorpio because of the special aspect Mars has on the 8h house. In the case of Venus, Venus in Libra will be favourable for matters indicated by Libra but not for matters of Taurus. Venus in Taurus will be favourable for matters of Taurus but not in respect of matters denoted by Libra. Mercury or Jupiter in their own signs will offer the results of both the signs they own. Saturn in Capricorn is beneficial for matters of Capricorn but is determental to Aquarius as Saturn will be in 12.

If a Node is in Aries, the Node will be advantageous for matters of Aries but disadvantageous for Scorpio. Matters denoted by Taurus will come to pass to the disadvantage of the native if the Node is in Libra, but the matters of Taurus will be enjoyed if the Node in such a position is to do good If the Node is in Pisces or Gemini, it will give the results of both Pisces and Sagittarius or Gemini and Virgo as the case may be.

So, Kethu in Mars sub is malefic. Jupiter is a strong significator of bhadaka stana on the sub of occupant of bhadakastana. Rahu occupies Jupiter sign and is stronger than Jupiter Rahu is also a significator of 2 and 7 on the sub of Mercury in 6. All are malefics for longevity. The Raison d'etre of this way of thinking is this If a native runs the conjoint period of the significators of 2,7,11 at the marriageable age, he gets married, later, when these planets operate together, there will be reunion in the family. But at a still

KRISHNAMURTI PADHDHATI 123

late date, when weak significators of houses 2,7,11 who are also significators of 1,6,10 rule the period, there may be estrangement and separation from the partner or even divorce. If the planets are connected strongly with 2,7,11 the conjoint period of these planets occurring at the later part of life will cause death in the case of persons born in Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn as lagna, because the 11" house becomes bhadaka stana and 2 and 7 are maraca stanas.

Mars, lord of lagna is badly placed with reference to the lagna, the sub-lord of the lagna, Sun, occupies the constellation of such a Mars in 8 and the sub is ruled by Mercury in 6, Ayush karaka has become bhakakda stanadhipathi in bhadaka stana. Thus, longevity of the native is limited to middle life. Although Moon and Kethu are strong significator of the 7n house and Moon is on the sub of bhadaka stana, as Moon is cojoined with Kethu, Kethu himself wilt offer what Moon has to Venus dasa is preferred because she is in her own constellation as lord of 2 and 7 and on the sub of rahu, a significator of 2 and 7. Selection of Rahu bhukti is not without basis. A planet in a constellation gives the result indicated by the lord of the constellation in its dasa (i.e. tenant planet's dasa) in the bhukti of the lord of the constellation. Conversely, when the dasa of a planet is on, planets in the constellation or on the sub of the dasa lord can give the result. As such, Rahu in the constellation of Venus will give the result in Venus dasa Rahu bhukti. There is no planet in the sub of Venus, Rahu in Sagittarius will represent Jupiter, who is a strong bhadaka. While Venus and Kethu are in sextile, Venus and Rahu are in trine.

The Significators of 2,7,11 (Saturn, Jupiter and Venus) caused the marriage of the native at the age of 29 years; the significators of 2,7,11 (Moon and Saturn) who are also significators of 12 and 10, brought about separation from wife when the native was 39 years old, in the dasa of Mercury, who is a significator of 1,8,12, and who had no connection whatever with 2 or 7 or 11. On these considerations and in accordance with the principle mentioned herein before, since the native is born in a

124 RETROGRADE PLANT moveable sign as lagna, the span of life will extend upto Venus dasa, Rahu bhukti, Kethu antra i.e. August 1999.

May God avert the catastrophe by His benevolent grace and unite the couple at least in old age, whatever the prognostication be.

Good Luck!

SUB - LORD SPEAKS

Students of Krishnamurti Padhdhati, raising the query Mercury when and where our Guruji had used sub lord for finalising prediction. In the III readerwhere Sri K.S .. K had repeatedly emphasized the usage of sublords and in his other readers also

I give below again some of his golden sentences together with page number also for those who still entertain the idea that I am over doing the matter. Page 66 'Further a planet in the sub of an evil planet, indicates loss, difficulty or failure where as the same planet in the same star, but in the sub of a benefic promises success, gain and pleasure.

The lord of the constellation may indicate the maffer of the Vllth house The planet in the sub of malefic causes enmity where as that in the sub of benefic brings in harmony and happiness. Also,the planet in the sub of an evil one threaten, loss in litigation, whereas that in the sub of a benefic indicates victory, even though the constellation lord denotes litigation.

Ifa planet indicates business and the planet in a benefic sub promises profit, whereas that in the sub of an evil one threatens loss.

The lord of the constellation may show any one walk of life to the native. It is the sub which decides whether the area is advantageous or not, and there by indicates whether the planet occupying there in will offer desirable results or adverse ones.

126 RETROGRADE PLANT Page 127. For a Makara lagna native, if a planet were to be in CHITHIRAI and according to KP system, if it is in the sub of Saturn then the native will surely gain and be happy because there will be neither delay nor disappointment. But if the same person has got another planet in the same star just prior to it, in the sub of JUPITER, this planet even though under the sway of Mars and indicates the matter of IV and XI, yet it brings loss, failure in attempt, disappointment in life, partition and separation from partner etc as the sub lord is JUPITER i.e. the sub is governed by the planet indicating matters of XII th house. Therefore it is necessary to note whether a planet is in the sub of a planet which promises agreeable results to him or disadvantageous.

Page 128: If the planet is in a constellation denoting evil results, but the sub lord is a benefic, then even though he may suffer, yet temporarily during the period he has little relief from the adverse results

Page 129. But according to Krishnamurthi system, the planet which is considered to be a benefic by lordship offers the results signified by it, thro the planet deposited in its constellation. Benefic planets offer the results thro the depositors in their constellation, only when the sub is also governed by a benefic. If the sub is ruled by a malefic, the depositors cannot bring on favorable results.

For example to a scorpio born native Jupiter rules II & V. If planets occupy anyone of the stars of Jupiter then the planet tenanted in its constellation has to offer the results indicated by Jupiter.

Ifthe sub is governed by lord of XI, then the person gets a child. If the sub is ruled by lord of XII, no child will be born during the period of the planet in the sub governed by lord of XII. Hence the planet is the source, constellation indicating nature of the matter and the sub is a deciding factor whether matter is favourable or not.

KRISHNAMURTI PADHDHATI 127 Page 138 & 139: If a planet signifies lagna bhava and it is in the sub of the significator of 8, he meets with danger. If the sub lord signifies XII, one runs away, or injured and hospitalised.

Therefore constellation , lord shows whom or which matter it refers. But the deciding factor good or bad, success or failure is shown by the sub occupied by the significator.

Suppose a planet A is the significator of II nd whereas it is in the sub of VI, one borrows but if it is in the sub of Vi, one borrows but if if is the sub of VIII or XII, he lends to others or repays loan.

Suppose a planet is the significator of VII house and if it is in the sub of II or XI, one gains, there is reunion one gets married etc., if it is in the sub of the significator of XII, separation or ill health to wife. Ifit is in the sub of I & II danger to partners life.

If in the sub of IV, partner gains, makes money. Thus one should note separately what each planet signifies and in which sub each planet is posited.

128 RETROGRADE PLANT Let me now substantiate the above lines of our Guruji with an illustration. Below is the birth chart of Sri Seshadri who has risen to a high status of Dy. General Manager in Central services from a mere class III entering service along with me. He was born at 12-16 p.m. (Noon) IST on 25-1-1933, at Madras 13° 04'-80° 17'Ayanamsa 22°54' - 52.9"

Planet Sub lord Jup (r) Planet Sub lord

Sun Rahu Venus Jupiter Moon Jupiter Saturn Jupiter Mars Sun Rahu Venus Mercury Jupiter Kethu Moon Jupiter Rahu

The native of this chart was running the major period of Jupiter- R dasa from 27-4-1971 - 27-4-1987.

Jupiter is in V, and no planet in its stars and so it signifies V, IX & XII

Jupiter is in the star of Sun in X owning V. So again it signifies X, but not V as there are planets in V.

Summing up Jupiter signifies V.XI,XII and the lord X, under stellar strength. I Know him personally while in class III status itself and it was then in the fag end of Rahu major period which ended by April 1971 and when the major period of Jupiter started he was elevated to class II status.

During this period of 16 years, he enjoyed 3 elevations and finally promoted to Dy CME post during January 1985, as to he entered Rahu bhukti, and it was an Administrative post in Railways

Thus he rose well in this period of Jupiter which ended by April 1987 and by then he was transferred to RITES a separate organization connected to Rlys under Rly.Board. With the significations of Jupiter such as V, IX, XII & X under

KRISHNAMURTI PADHDHATI 129 stellar strength, one cannot predict such a rise unless it is well entrenched in a powerful sub with benefic signification. Here, Jupiter is in sub of Rahu. Rahu is in its own star in XI and as node Rahu represents Saturn in X owning X & XI. As Jupiter thro star signifies V and thro sub X & XI and so he had his children well educated and got them well settled occupationally

As Jupiter signifies IX & XI also under stellar status and X & XI thro sub.has given him heavy overseas travelling and he used to tell me that he had travelled all round the world under official capacity. (Almost all European countries & USA). As Jupiter signifies Xth under stellar status and X & XI thro sub, he has risen from class III to junior administrative rank in this period.

As further it was the bhukti of Rahu from 7-12-84 to 27-4-87.

Rahu is in its own star in XI and so under stellar strength, he acquires the XIth signification and as NODE represents Saturn in X and so he is a full signifiacator of X & XI under stellar strength As it is in the sub of Venus signifying II & IX, he was negated to get the senior administrative status though more was expected by him (IX negates rise professionally). Then he started the major period of Saturn on 27-4-87 & it is for 19 years It was Saturn bhukti from 27-4-87 to 30-4-90. Saturn is in the star of Moon in IX and no planet in Saturn stars. Here under stellar strength it attains IV, IX,X significations. The native was elevated to Dy.General Manager status by June 1987 in the period of a planet signifying IV & IX, which are detrimental for elevation to such a status.

Then how? Saturn is in the sub of Jupiter stationed in the star of Sun in X and so thro sub it gets X signification and hence this elevation of enviable status.

1 know Mr Seshadri simply as a class III staff in Rlys. In the

130 RETROGRADE PLANT

early years, just equal to my status, and he has risen to Dy General Manager status and retired, I shall explain how all the planets are beneficial and elevated him materially as they were stationed in beneficial SUBS with good signification.

Cuspal Positions :-

Cusp Sign lord Star lord Sub lord

Venus Rahu Sun V Saturn Moon Saturn XI Moon Mercury Mercury Analysis :- The chart under discussion belongs to a lady. Hence consideration on Vth cusp is necessary. This cusp rules many things and "Progeny" comes under the preview of this cusp. This cusp clearly indicates the result of the query.

According to K.P. the sublord of the Vth cusp should not be retrograde. It should not be posited in the constellation of a retrograde planet and lastly the sublord should be a significator of houses 2,5 and 11. These three conditions should be simulateously satisfied forthe prospect of childbirth. Jupiter also should be considered as he is the chief governor for childbirth

In the charl under discussion, the Vth cusp falls in Capricorn sign, in Moon star and Saturn sub. The sublord Saturn is the lord of Vth house. He is in the constellation of Jupiter, the "puthrakaraka" and in the sub of Rahu an occupant of 2nd house. No planet is in Saturn's star and hence Saturn is the strong

KRISHNAMURTI PADHDHATI 133 significator of the Vth house and the childbirth is promised, Child birth when?

Il House - Rahu in this house. None occupies Rahu's star. Venus is the lord of this (2nd) house. Moon, Mercury and Kethu are in Venus star.

No planet is in the 5'h house. Saturn is the lord of this house. No planet is in Saturn's star.

XIth house - No planet in this house Moon owns the 11 house No planet occupies Moon's star.

Jupiter also is to be taken as a significator as he is a 'Karaka' for progency and he is aspecting the 2nd house. Hence the significator of the houses 2,5 & 11 are Rahu, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Kethu, Saturn & Jupiter.

Ruling Planets :- Day lord (M ond ay) - Moon Moon Rasi lord (Dhanus) -Jupiter Moon star lord (Pooradam) - Venus Moon sub lord - Sun Lagna (Scorpio) - Mars Lagna star (Anuradha) - Saturn Lagna sublord - Sun Rahu represent Venus Kethu represent Mars.

Hence common significators are Venus, Moon and Rahu. At the time of judgement, the querent is running Venus dasa Moon Bhukthi up to 16-5-78. Guru Anthra begins from 11-3-77 to 1-6- 77 Rahu Sookshama period from 19-5-77 to 1-6-77. All these periods are favourable for child birth. Hence I pitched upon Venus dasa, Moon Bhukthi, Guru Anthra and Rahu Sookshama as all the above planets are also found as ruling planets, and 1 predicted to the querent that she will be blessed with a child between 19-5-77 to 1-6-77

134 RETROGRADE PLANT Sex of the child: The sex of the child can be determined by the Vth cusp. The sign and sublord of the Vth cusp is owned by Saturn. He is in the constellation of Jupiter in Aries, a male sign. Hence I told her that she will be blessed with a son.

Result :- As predicated, the lady delivered a male child on 28-5-1977 at 10,00 P.M. in the night. The day was Saturday ruled by Saturn, The Moon was transiting in Virgo ruled by Mercury. He is in the star of Hastham' ruled by Moon. The lagna was Capricorn ruled by Saturn. Thus all the significators at the time of query happened to be the ruling planets at the time of child birth.

Such as accurate predictions well in advance (i.e) one year before can possible only through K.P. with great respects to out "Guruji".

Good Luck

HORARY ASTROLOGY - MAJOR EVENT

A person said "Sir-now I am serving in a Library. Last month I had three interviews in three different departments for service, can you tell (A). Whether ! will leave the present post? And (B) which department I may join?

"Mention a number within 108."

"96 is the reply".

The chart for that moment is as under :-

ASC.16-40 to 2000 Sani 17-50

Venus 9-18

Mer 10-2 Mars 26-49 Kethu 10-31 Sun 24-58

136 RETROGRADE PLANT Moon is called "Mathi" it guides the astrologer to know what question the person will put what he has in his mind. Moon's in 19 50' in Gemini that is in Mercury sign Rahu's star Mars sub and Venus sub sub. Mercury is in the ninth bhava even though it is in the 10th house. Rahu, the star lord is in the 3rd bhava, therefore Mercury and Rahu indicate the matters signified by the 9" and 3" houses. These two bhavas are for changes i.e., change of profession, change of place etc. If the change is to come, the sub will be ruled by a benefic.Mars is lord of 10; it is in 11. therefore he is a strong benefic As the sub lord is Mars his desire will be surely fulfilled. So also we have to take the lagna and find out, whether there will be a change to a desired department. The lagna according to his number 96, has fallen between 16.40 to 20 00 in Aquarius; this sub portion of Sathabisha, is ruled by Venus, Sun, Moon and Mars. All these four are occupying beneficial houses promising a change. Therefore that he will not continue in the present department is certain.

Profession or self-acquistion is to be judged from the houses 2.6 and 10 So one is to judge and select the strong significators in the following order as prescribed by my Guruji Krishnamurti. 1.The planets in the constellation of the occupants of the houses 2,6 and 10; these are the strongest.

2. The occupants of the 2,6 and 10 houses. These come next.

3. The planets in the constellations of lord of the houses 2,6 and 10, These are stronger.

4. The lords of those houses. But weaker than 1 and 2 items.

5. The planets conjoined with the significators and those receiving good aspects from the significators.

No planet is in 2,or 6 Sun alone is in the 10h house. It may appear that Mercury and Kethu are also in the 10", but they are in 9h Bhava, or house. Sun rules Krithika, Uttara and Uttarashada Mars and Venus are in Uttarashada. So Mars and

KRISHNAMURTI PADHDHATI 137 Venus are the significators. They are stronger than any other significator.

Lords of 2,6 and 10 are Mars, Jupiter and Moon. Mars rules Mrigashira, Chittirai and Dhanishta. No Planet is in the above stars. Jupiter rules Punaravasu, Vishakah and Purva Bhadrapada. There, is no planet in these stars. Moon rules Hastham, Rohini and Sravanam. Rahu is in Rohini star. So Rahu is a significator. Nodes are more powerful than the planets. So Rahu is a strong significator. Therefore Rahu, Mars, Venus and Sun are the significators.

If a boy is born on the above data at the time of query, how we calculate the Dasa and Bhukti left over at the time of birth, so also work the balance of the dasa. Now he is running Rahu Dasa Mars Bhukti. So when will the change be? A "Dasa" B "Bhukti" 'C'are the strong significators. Rahu Dasa Mars Bhukti Venus Anthra is beneficial so he has to receive the orders in this period which will end on 13-1-1966. During this period, Moon is to transit in Sun's star in the sub of Venus; (in this instance, it will conjoin with Rahu) that will be the date. On 4 January 1966 Moon conjoins Rahu. The day is ruled by Mars, The lord of the star Krithika is ruled by Sun. On the same day Sun will be transiting in the constellation and sub of the significator, Venus star Rahu's sub and Mars sub-sub. So on 4th January 1966 he will receive the orders from L.I.C. Actually the person received the orders on the same day, from Life Insurance Corporation.

Why?

Because 101h house is occupied by Sun and aspected by Saturn. Sun is for security in service, Saturn for "Mritha-Dhana" money of the deceased Life Insurance (Uthra-Kalamritha). Sun in the constellation Jyeshta ruled by lord of 8 Budha and 8" house denotes (death and legacy) Life Insurance. Further Scorpio is the 8th sign of the Zodiac. Thus one is to analyse, judge and be useful to humanity. 1 pray God to give a long life to my Guru Sri K.S.Krishnamurti

138 RETROGRADE PLANT who has given us correct scientific method clearly without confusion. Other methods and symposium are similar to supplying chilly salt, sugar, tamarind etc., separately and leaving the person to select, prepare and have it, But this padhdhati shows only one way with no contradiction; leading one to the goal straight, in such a simple way without laborious Shadbhala, and unreliable Ashtaka Varga.

HORARY ASTROLOGY

One of my relatives was married on 13-6-1966. The lagna for marriage was fixed as Mithuna lagna. It was between 5-45 A.M. to 7.45 A.M. approximately on 13-6-1966 which was a Monday. Since the Muhurtham was at early morning, I joined the marriage party on the previous day itself.

On 12th night, one of the important member of the party was consulting an astrologer to select an auspicious moment in Mithuna Lagna, so that the marriage or actual Muhurtham may be arranged at that particular moment. The horoscope of the bride is given as below:

Saturn Lagna Kethu Moon 25°g' 0'18' 19'17'40"

Jupiter (R) Mars 9° 7'34' Born at 11-45 P.M. Sun 9

On 25-7-1938 Rasi Chart Venus 20*13' Mercury 5'28'

Rahu 0°18'

140 RETROGRADE PLANT Balance of Rahu dasa 11 months and 14 days.

The Astrologer who was being consulted followed traditional system of astrology and selected a particular time. I saw the bride's chart. The bride was running Saturn Dasa, Moon bhukti at the time of marriage Therefore I predicted that when lagna will touch the natal position of Moon, the bhukti lord at 7-16 A.M. the marriage will take place, The astrologer did not agree. I wanted to find out whether my prediction is correct. At the time of prediction lagna was Aquarius Kumbha. I was born in the lagna Libra Thulam. At the time of prediction fifth bhava rises in the east. Will it indicated success to me or to the other astrologer?

Since my lagna is Libra-Thulam, the other astrologer's lagna is to be taken as Aries-Mesha, the 7th house counted from my lagna. 5th Bhava is 11to the 7 , therefore must give success to the other astrologer and my prediction must go wrong. Further Moon was transiting Revathi star ruled by Mercury. Mercury is the lord of Virgo-Kanni which the 12nh Bhava indicated failure to me. Moon was in the sub of Jupiter Jupiter is the lord of Pisces-Meena which is the 6th house from my lagna Libra- Thulam. 6t house is the 12" house to 7h (competitor) indicates loss to the opponent or competitor etc .. and gain to the native. Therefore ultimate success is promised to me.

I began to analyse the horoscope further to findout the exact moment when the native must get married. At 6-32 A.M. on 13- 6-66 in Mithuna-Gemini lagna, lagna transits 80-56', when it forms trine aspect with the 7h cusp. I wanted to confirm this. So I tried Horary Astrology. I gave a number 72 for my query to find out the exact moment of marriage and arrived at the.same result. The analysis according to Horary Astrology is as below. What does the no 72 indicate? How the accurate prediction is based on merely mentioning a number with in 108? The idea of asking to give a number within 108, is that the zodiac is divided

KRISHNAMURTI PADHDHATI 141

into 108 equal parts each extending to 3'20' It is also equal to one quarter of star No. 72 indicates the region of 236°40 counted from Aries 0°. It is the fourth quarter of the star Kettai, in the sign Scorpio-Vrischika.

Find out the lords of this sign, star and sub for the region indicated by the given number. Lord of the sign Scorpio- Vrischika is Mars, The star Kettai is ruled by Mercury. 4"n quarter in this star includes the sub of Saturn as well as Jupiter.

Since the matter under consideration is to take place within a few hours, (analysis made at 11 P.M on 12" and Muhurtham (marriage) is to take place around 6 A.M. next morning) take the transit of the ascendant.

Ascendant must transit at a sensitive point or degree of the Zodiac so as to be governed by the planets indicated by the number mentioned by the querist in a definite manner illustrated below.

The lord of the sign and star according to the number mentioned must rule the sensitive degree to be transited by the lagna at the time of marriage. One of the sub lords must also rule

For the number given Mars is lord of the sign (No.72, Scorpio sigtn, Kettai star, Saturn or Jupiter sub). Mercury is the star lord, So Mars and Mercury must rule Jupiter and Saturn are the sub lords Any one of them must rule So select (a) Mars, and Mercury and Jupiter or (b) Mars, Mercury and Saturn (combination as above).

Lagna for marriage is fixed as Gemini Mithuna owned by Mercury In this select a zone governed by the above combination. We have the star Mrigasira 2nd half in Mercury sign. (Mars star.) Select Jupiter or Saturn sub. But we do not have Jupiter or Saturn sub in the second half of Mrigasira. So reject this combination. In Mercury's sign Virgo-Kanni we have got the star Punarvasu ruled by Jupiter So slelect Mercury sign, Jupiter star, Mars, sub since Mars also must rule Once again

142 RETROGRADE PLANT we find mars sub in Jupiter star Punarvasu goes to Cancer- Kataka

Mars and Rahu are posited (at the time of analysis) in the sign Taurus-Rishaba along with Sun. Rahu is nearer to Mars than Sun. Rahu is node. Therefore replace Mars by Rahu. Now we are left with three combinations: (a) Mercury, Rahu (star) Jupiter, (b) Mercury, Rahu Saturn, (c) Mercury, Jupiter, Rahu (sub) We do not have Rahu sub in Jupiter's star Punarvasu in Mercury's sign Gemini Mithuna because Rahu's sub falls in Cancer-Kataka.

Therefore one must select Mercury sign Rahu star, either Jupiter sub or Saturn sub. Final Step is to decide as to which sub is to be selected? Jupiter sub or Saturn sub? Actually when lagna transits in Jupiter sub and Saturn sub, lagna forms trine aspect with the 7h cusp in the bride's horoscope. Therefore I selected 6-32 A.M. i.e. around 9° in Mithuna to be transited by the Ascendant at the moment of marriage.

I waited patiently till that time, only to see that the marriage (exact time of Muhurtha) was 6.32 a.m. Timing did not fail, not even by a minute.

I took the bridgroom's horoscope. He was running on that day Rahu dasa, Saturn Bhukti, Mercury Anthra and Jupiter Sookshama. The marriage took place exactly when lagna transited in Mercury sign Gemini-Mithuna, Rahu star, Arudhra, Jupiter's sub and in the sub sub of Saturn. Look at, how the lord of the dasa, bhukti. anthra and sookshama governs the exact moment of Marriage. That is the accuracy of KRISHNAMURTHI PADHDHATI.

I have to say that no other method can give the result so correctly as this, correct to the minute. This is scientific, simple straight forward and successful. .

RULING PLANETS REVEAL TIMING OF MINOR EVENTS)

Before discussing what the ruling planets can signify and how best we can make use of them it is better to understand what we mean by 'Ruling Planets'. Suppose, a person puts a question to an astrologer. First of all, the Astrologer should note the moment when he take the horoscope for analysis and judgement. The moment is governed by certain planets.

What are they called? They are termed as "Ruling Planets". They are as under : 1. Lord of the Day : For example if it is a Sunday, lord of the day is Sun.

2. Lord of the Star : Find out in which star, Moon transits at the time of analysis. The planet governing that star will be the ruling planet. Suppose it is Poorvashada. Lord of the constellation is Venus.

3. Lord of the Rasi : The planet owning the sign in which Moon transits at the time of judgement, is also one of the ruling planets. These three are the strongest. (As Poorvashada is in Sagittarius, the Lord is Jupiter). 4. Lord of the Lagna : One should note, at the time of analysis the sign in which the Ascendant transits. Lord of the sign in which Lagna falls becomes another ruling planet.

If a node becomes a ruling planet by governing the constellation as it has no day allotted to it, no sign allotted to it, one has to necessarily include (a) the planet conjoined with the node, (b) the planet aspecting the node (c) lord of the star and

144 RETROGRADE PLANT (d) lord of the sign occupied by the node, in the above order of strength.

(Editor's note : If a node is conjoined with a ruling planet node is stronger than the planet, or if it is aspected by a ruling planet take, the node, or if it is in either of the signs of the ruling planet, take the node as a stronger significator If a node is in either of the signs belonging to a planet and if the node is a significaor, it will offer the results of both the signs owned by the lord of the sign Suppose a node is in the second house to Pisces Lagna It is not conjoined with or aspected by any planet. Then it gives the results of Mars which owns Aries and Scorpio where the cusps of 2nd and 9" houses fall. So the node will bestow the results indicated by second and ninth houses.

The ruling planets indicate the time of frutification of the query, no matter, whether the querry relates to minor events or major events. At the time when a person will run the conjoined period of the ruling planets, the query will be fulfilled. The time of fructification will be ruled by the ruling planets at the moment of judgment.

Following is an illustration of the above fact relating to a minor event.

1 was to make journey along with my sister on 1-6-66. The train is scheduled to leave the station at 5.30 p.m. My sister went to the market to purchase a few articles and was to return home at 3 O'clock "to prepare for the journey. I was waiting for her but she did not turn until 3.30 p.m. It was getting late. I wanted to find out astrologically as to when she would reach home. It was my first astrological analysis of the time for the day. According to KRISHNAMURTI PADHDHATI the ruling planets at the moment of query should indicate my sister's return from the Market as I have this urge, then. The ruling planets are as below :

1. The day was Wednesday ruled by Mercury.

KRISHNAMURTI PADHDHATI 145 2. The star in which Moon was transiting at the time of query was Visakam ruled by Jupiter.

3. The sign in which Moon transited was Libra-Thulam ruled by Venus.

4. The lagna rising at the time of query was Libra-Thulam ruled by Venus.

Therefore the ruling planets are Venus, Jupiter and Mercury.

It is already stated that if a node occupies the sign owned by a significator, the node also becomes a significator. Rahu occupies Tarus - Rishaba ruled by the significator Venus. So, the planets ruling the degree to be transitted by the Ascendant at the time of fructification of the query are Mercury, Venus, Jupiter and also Rahu.

Since the matter relates only to a minor event, to take place within a few hours, the transit of the Ascendant is considered.

The next star to rise in the east was Swathi ruled by Rahu. At the time of query Chitrai star was raising in th east in the sign Libra - Thulam ruled by the significator Venus. But the star is ruled by Mars which is not a significator. So reject Chitrai. Swathi, the next star governed by Rahu which is a significator should be selected; in that constellation select the sub portion governed by Jupiter. Jupiter sub is selected because mercury is represented by Rahu, who along with Mercury occupied Taurus - Rishaba sign. (The sub sub of the star may be Mercury).

At 3-44 P.M. Rahu's star Swathi was rising in the east. The sub which was rising in the east was governed by Jupiter. The sign was Libra - Thulam ruled by Venus.

Actually, when my sister arrived, the Ascendant was transiting in the sub sub of Mercury, in the sub of Jupiter in the star Swathi ruled by Rahu in the sign Libra-Thulam governed by Venus. The time was 3 hours 57 minutes and a few seconds PM. She was to return at 3 p.m. but she came back only at 3- 57 P.M.

146 RETROGRADE PLANT If one adopts the most simple principles propounded in KRISHNAMURTI PADHDHATI, with scientific and convincing reasoning, without taking anything for granted, one is bound to become correct and be a useful and a good Astrologer. (Editor's note :- By doing such experiments on minor events, one can predict the major ones. One's sister has gone, say, to America. To find out when she would return, in how many years, months and days, take dasa, bhukti system. If she is to return in a few years, take transit of Jupiter, if in a few months, consider the transit of Sun. If in afew days, follow the transit of Moon : if in a few hours within 24 hours, work out the position of ascendant and calculate the time when that part of the Zodiac will rise in the east. Each degree and minute of the Zodiac is governed by (1) Sign lord, (2) Star lord and (3) the sub lord. The above method is to predict, taking the moment when the urge is there to answer a question)

TIME OF MARRIAGE

The horoscope of a gentleman born on 9-9-1933 at 11.35 a.m. is given below The analysis to find out the time of marriage of the native is described below.

The horoscope.

Moon 244-51

Rahu 5'46'

Rasi Chart

Saturn (R) Mer.21'16'

1753 ** Sun 23-16' Kethu 5°46'

Jupiter 7'02' Asc. 12'26' Mars 16°31' Venus 29'40'

Balance of Venus Dasa at the time of birth 3 years 10 months and 16 5 days.

Before analysis, one should note the exact time, when the horoscope is taken for analysis. The time of analysis is 9-10 a.m. on 17-6-66, a Friday.

148 RETROGRADE PLANT First of all, one should note down whether lagna is strong or the Moon sign Lagna is 12 26' Scorpio-Vrischika. Mars rules Scorpio-Vrichika. It is placed in Libra-Thulam, which 12h to Lagna Bhava. Therefore lagna is weak. Moon is placed in Aries - Mesha Mars, the lord of the sign aspects its own sign aries- Mesha by 7 aspect. Therefore Moon sign is strong. Take Aries- Mesha as 1stBhava and scrutinize the horoscope.

One can also find out the stronger of the two, lagna and Moon sign by following KRISHNAMURTI PADHDHATI. Find out the ruling planets. The ruling planets are :

1. Venus : Lord of the day. Today is Friday. 2. MOON : Lord of the star Rohini.

2. VENUS : Lord of the Rasi Taurus - Rishaba

3. MOON : Lord of the lagna Cancer - Kataka.

Lagna is not connected with Venus or Moon in the horoscope. But moon is in Bharani ruled by Venus, Therefore take Moon sign to be stronger.

2" Bhava indicates family. 7m Bhava indicates legal bondage with other sex and permanent tie. 11h Bhava indicates matrimonial happiness, pleasure etc. Therefore the Bhavas 2, 7 and 11 counted from Moon sign,sign must be analysed and the signifying planets for marriage must be selected following the universal rule as given below in the following order. Finally assess the strength of the planets. In the conjoined period of the strong significators marriage must take place if transit results agree.

The significators are -

(a)Planets in the constellation of the occupants of the Bhavas 2,7 and 11.

(b)Planets deposited in the Bhavas 2, 7 and 11 (c)Planets in the constellation of the lord of the bhavas 2, 7 and 11.

KRISHNAMURTI PADHDHATI 149 (d)Lords of 2, 7 and 11 (e)Planets aspected by the significators. Secret such as conjoined period of the significators, when the significators (a) transit in the sign, star or sub of the significators (b) form good aspect with their natal position. Sun, Moon and lagna transiting the sensitive zone of the Zodiac governed or aspected by relevant significaors or cusps shall pin-point the moment of marriage. (a)Second Bhava is 24° Aries - Mesha to 24° Taurus - Rishaba. No planet is positied in this zone Jupiter alone aspects Taurus - Rishaba by its 9n aspect since it is placed in 7° Virgo- Kanni. No planet is posited in any ofJupiter's stars. Therefore take Jupiter as a strong significator. (Rule B) Mercury is in the sub of Jupiter, in the star Pooram ruled by Venus which owns the houses 2 and 7. Mercury and Jupiter become significators 7'h Bhava is from 24° Libra - Thulam to 24° Scorpio - Vrischika. No planet is posited nor aspects this Bhava 11+h Bhava extends from 24° Aquarius-Kumba to 24° Pisces- Meena. Rahu is placed in this Bhava. Mars alone is posited in Swathi star ruled by Rahu's stars. Mars aspects Rahu by its 108° aspect. Therefore Rahu is a stronger significtor than Mars. Further Venus, the Karaka planet and also lord of 2nd and 71h bhava is in trine aspect with Rahu. So Rahu is a strong significator.

Whenever a node becomes a significator, the planets conjoined with it, aspected by it owning the house in which the node is posited become significators. Saturn who owns Aquarius-Kumba in which Rahu is placed also becomes a significator Besides that Saturn is lord of the 11th Bhava. It is placed in its own sub Venus, the KARAKA planet aspects Saturn by its 10B° aspect. Therefore Saturn is a significator We have Rahu, Saturn, Mercury and Jupiter as strong significators One need not apply rules (c) and (d). In the

150 RETAOGRADE PLANT conjoined periods of Rahu, Saturn. Mercury and Jupiter when these planets transit and Jupiter favourably, the marriage will take place. The native actually got married on 13-6-66 when he was running rahu Dasa, Saturn Bhukti, Mercury Anthra and Jupiter sookshama. Bukthinatha Saturn transits in Pisces-Meena Jupiter's sign, the star Uttirattathi ruled by itself. Mercury was transiting in its own sign GEMENI-MITHUNA, in the star Arudhra ruled by dasaanathra Rahu. Jupiter, the other significator also transited in the same region. The natal Saturn aspected transitory Saturn by its third aspect. Moon transited in Revathi star, ruled by Mercury and in the sign Pisces-Meena ruled by Jupiter. The time of marriage was 6-32 A. M. on 13-6-66. The lagna was GEMINI-MITHUNA ruled by Mercury Lagna at the time of mamage transited around (B°56'-1°26') in Gemini-Mithuana. This region is governed by Mercury, lord of the sign Gemini. Rahu, lord of the star Arudhra. Jupiter the lord of the sub and Saturn and Jupiter the lord of the sub and Saturn and Jupiter Lord of the sub sub of the star rising in the east. It is worthy to note that Lagna degree was governed by lords of dasa, Bhukti anthra and sookshama.

In the bride's horoscope lagna at the moment of marriage formed trine aspect with seventh cusp It wil be noticed that the above analysis based on KRISHNAMURTI PADHDHATI agrees 100% with actual happenings even in the minute details. Such a verification in each chart considering, each matter has convinced the followers.

SATURN OFFERS SALE OF VEHICLE

Querry : -

Sir,

My daughter's marriage is fixed. But I do not have ready cash or bank balance. I intend selling my vehicle or house and celebrate the matrimonial ceremony. Will you kindly tell me, Sir, whether I will sell my vehicle or house? And when? The following is my horoscope :

Jupiter Mars 11-15 1341 Kethu 16-15

Salum 12-18 Sun 17-28

Moon Lagna 10-51 15-32 Mer. 7-16 Ven. 1348

Rahu 16-15

152 RETROGRADE PLANT Answers :- Respected Sir, Zodiacal signs are devided into twelve bavas or houses. Each house indicates a certain human activity. Indications of a house will prosper only when the lord of the house is favourably situated from the concerned house. In addition to this the aspects to that house and the strength of the lord should be thoroughly scrutinized.

Your lagna is Leo. Lord of lagna is very unfavourably placed in the 12th house and is also in conjunction with Saturn. He is also placed in the constellation, Aslesha ruled by Mercury, who is malefic for Leo borns, Lagna bhava or 1st house is posited by Mercury and Venus who are malefics and receives, no beneficial aspect Therefore your lagna is weak.

So the position of Moon should be taken into consideration in preparation of the bhava chart or house division. Now you have asked about the vehicle and its sale. You have also asked about the sale of house.

Vehicles or vehicular comfort is indicated by the 4t house. Vehicles negation or loss or sale of vehicles is indicated by the 3rd house which is 12t house to the 4t house. Vehicular property is considered as movable property. All movable property such as cash, ornaments, vehicles et., is indicated by 2na house which is house of wealth. The negation of movable property or liquidation of movable property is indicated by the 11 house which is 12 house to the 2nd house. The person with whom the native comes into any kind of transaction is denoted by the 7th house. His vehicles or vehicular comfort is denoted by your 10th house which is 4* house (vehicles) to the 7* house. His acquisition of movable property is denoted by your 8th house which is 2nd house (movable property) to the 7 house. Therefore houses 1, 3, 8 and 10 are to be considered for sale of vehicles. Venus is significator for vehicles.

KRISHNAMURTI PADHDHATI 153 House property is otherwise called fixed or immovable property, which is denoted by the 4" house. Any negation or sale of immovable property is indicated by 3" house.

The purchaser is indicated by 7th house. His house property or purchase of immovable property is indicated by your 10th house which is 4h house to the 7th house. 2T house is called house of acquisition. The purchaser's acquisition is denoted by your 8h house your loss of house property is indicated by your 3rd house. The purchaser's games are denoted by your 5" house which is 11 house (Gains) to the 7th house, Therefore houses 3, 5, 8 and 10 are to be considered for sale of house property Mars is karaka or significator for house.

The significators are : 1. Planets posited in the constellations of the occupants of the concerned houses.

2. Planets posited in the concerned houses.

3. Planets posited in the constellations of the lords of houses concerned.

4 Planets who are lords of the concerned houses

5. Planets who are conjoined with or aspected by the significators

1sl house is not occupied by any planet. 3rd house is also not occupied by any planet.

8h house is vacant. 10th house is also vacant.

Lord of 1" house is Saturn. Pushyam, Anuradha, and Uttarabhadra are ruled by Saturn. Saturn himself is posited in Pushyam. Lord of 3rd house is Jupiter who rules the constellations Punarvasu, Visakha and Poorvabhadra No planet is posited in any of these constellations Lord of 8i house is Sun who rules the constellations Krittika, Uttara Pulguni and Uttarashada No planet is posited in these constellations Lord

154 RETROGRADE PLANT of 10'h house is Venus Venus rules Bharani. Poorva Phulguni and Poorvashada Venus herself is posited in Poorvaphulguni. Rahu is posited in Poorvashada. Therefore Saturn, Venus and Rahu are significators to cause sale of vehicle. 5h house is occupied by Mars and Kethu. Mrigasira, Chitra and Dhanista are ruled by Mars. No planet is posited in any of thse constellations Aswani, Magha and Moola are ruled by kethu. Mercury is posited in Magha. No planet is posited in the constellation of Jupiter who rules 3rd house. No planet is posited in the constellation of Sun who rules 8" house, Venus and Rahu are posited in the stars of Venus who rules 10th house. Therefore Mercury, Venus and Rahu are significators to cause sale of house.

You are now under the major period of Saturn and in the sub period of Saturn. Saturn is posited in the constellation. Pushyami,ruled by himself. Therefore Saturn is to offer the results of 1s1 house and 2nd house predominantly. 1st house is negation of movable property; It is also to indicate exhaustion of liquid cash; It is to offer nil balance Saturn is significator to cause sale of vehicle Mercury, Venus and Rahu are significators to cause sale of house As you are running Saturn period of Saturn is not significator to cause sale ofhouse, I wish to inform you that you can not sell the house and celebrate the marriage of your daughter But you are sure to lose your' vehicle, as Saturn, the ruling planet offers sale of vehicle.

When you will sell the vehicle? Saturn enters Uttarabhadra constellation on 11-5-66 and will transit his own sub upto 9-6-66 About this time you will be under the sway of sub sup period of Rahu, in the sub period of Saturn in the major period of Saturn. Sun is the enciting planet. He transits the sub of Rahu on 14-5-66and 15-5-66coinciding the transit of Moon in Sathabhisha on 14-5-66, Saturday. The ruling planetary lord and the luminaries are in a favourable position and therefore your wish to sell the vehicle will be completed on Saturday, the 14t May, 1966 between 10 A M and 12 noon

APPOINTMENT - WHEN?

Astrology is undoubtedly a useful science. To make it more useful to one and all, is the task before intelligent astrologers of to-day Generally the birth chart, which indicates the planetary positions at the time of birth forms the basis of future predictions.

For those who do not have their birth chart correct predictions must be given for, they must not be at a loss of not knowing their time of birth. The author of this magazine, after patient and useful research has found out a simple method of prediction, which has been appreciated by one and all to give precise answers invariably, to a question of any sort. I wish to place before such readers who have aptitude to study this technique. I have taken care to write this in such a manner so that even those who do not know A, B, C of astrology can learn this technique to their advantage and be useful to one and all.

Ruling Planets . The querist approaches the astrologer to ask a query. Supposing, the client is the first person to approach the astrologer for the day. the astrologers must note down the ruling planets at the moment of answering the query. What is meant by "the ruling planets?" They are as below :

1. Lord of the day : A day commences from the sunrise and extends to next sun rise. Suppose, on Monday morning sun rises at 6 a.m., then the interval commencing from 6 A.M. till the sun rise next day (Tuesday) is considered as Monday. Supposing on Tuesday sun rises at 6 A.M, then 6 A.M on the same day must be treated as Monday. This is the explanation of an astrological day. Moon rules Monday, Mars rules Tuesday and so on.

15G RETROGRADE PLANT 2. Lord of Star : The zodiac, the path way of the planets (apparent pathway) is divided into 360°. Each 13°20' of this is called a constellation or a star. There are 27 such stars, Aswini, Bharani and so on. The transit of at the moment of analysis must be noted down. Each planet (Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupier, Venus and Saturn) governs three stars. The nodes Rahu and Kethu are also allotted 3 stars each. Supposing at the time of answering the query, the star is Bharani, then Venus the lord of the star becomes a significator.

3. Lord of the Rasi : The zodiac of 360° is divided into 30° each and there are twelve such divisions each being called as Solar Mansion or Houses. They are Aries-Mesha, Taurus - Rishaba and so on, every one being owned by a planet. The planet owning the sign (solar mansion) where Moon passes through at the time of analysis is also a significator.

4. Lord of the Lagna - Ascendant : With reference to the earth, that portion of the zodiac which rises in the east is the ascendant. The lord of the sign (Solar mansion) where ascendant falls becomes a significator. Also, the star (13°20' sub-division of the zodiac), in which the Ascendant (LAGNA) falls at the moment of analaysis must be known. Lord of the star rising in the east also becomes a significator.

However, there is another method of arriving at the significators. The querist is asked to give a number within 108. 0 indicates 0° of the zodiac 1 is between 0°to 3°20'; 2 represents 3°20' to 6°40'; 108 represents exactly 0° Aries. 107 represents 356'20' to 360° of the zodiac. Thus one should apply the rules. It is evident the region contained (indicated) by the number (a) Must fall in a certain Lunar Mansion (b) Must fall in a certain solar Mansion and (c) also a sub portion of the lunar mansion. Hence lord of these three are the significators. Readers are requested to go through 'KRISHNAMURTI PADHDHATI'Vol.i to get a clean idea of the sub of the constellation.

Method of Prediction : First step of finding out the significators is over. Now how to time the event. For this one must clearly

KRISHNAMURTI PADHDHATI 157

analyse the nature of the query and the time of fructification of the query If the query is to be fulfilled. say within few hours. take the transit of ascendant, for few days take Moon's transit. If the time of fructification is of the order of months consider Sun's transit

Degree of Transition : Every minute point of the zodiac is governed by three planet,s namely (1) lord of the sign (Solar Mansion), (2) lord of constellation (Lunar Mansion), (3) lord of sub-constellation, in which that particular point (degree) falls. The transit of either ascendant or Moon must be governed by the significators. In other words the significator (ascendant Sun or Moon) must transit in a sensitive point in the zodiac so as to be governed by the significators, as explained above. That will be the time of trustification of the query The above priciples can be illustrated with an example cited as below :

Query To find out the date of appointment of a gentlemen who consulted the astrologer and put the query at 2-40 p.m. on Friday, 5th August 1966. Analaysis i Since the client is the first man to put the query for the day, one is to note down the ruling planets at 2-40 P.M. on 5-8-66.

1. Lord of the day : Today is Friday. The day is ruled by Venus. Hence Venus is a significator.

2. Lord of the star : The star Poorattathi extends till 2-50 P.M. hence Moon now transits in Poorattathi star, lord of which is Jupiter. Hence Jupiter is a significator.

3. Lord of the Rasi : Moon is approaching 3'20' in Pisces Meena. This sign is ruled by JUPITER

4. Lord of the Lagna : Lagna now is Scorpio (Nirayana) ruled by Mars. Hence Mars is a significator. There the planet signifying the frutification of the query are (a) Mars, (b) JUPITER, (c) VENUS Now Mars is in 2414 GEMINI-MITHUNA. JUPITER is in 26°54' GEMINI MITHUNA

158 RETROGRADE PLANT VENUS occupies 25°44' in the same sign. These three are conjoined. Hence one is to declare that the query will be fulfilled on a day when both Sun and Moon transit at a point in the Zodiac governed by these three planes. Consider the sign, ruled by Mars, Venus and JUPITER, to be transited. Now sun is in CANCER KATAKA It is ruled by Moon which is not a significator. Next Leo is owned by Sun which is not a significator. So also is Virgo ruled by Mercury. In LIBRA ruled Venus we have JUPITER's star Visakam, but Mar's sub third significator goes to Scorpio, In Mar's sign Scorpio, we have Jupiter's star. Visakam 4 pada, but we don't have Venus sub. Pass on to Jupiter's sign Sagitarius-Dhanur. Select Pooradam to be transited by Sun, in that take Mar's Sub (JUPITER'S sign, Venus star, Mars Sub) 17'20' to 1B°06' of Sagittarius. But Moon also must transit in the sign and star of the significators.

On 2nd January Sun transits Jupiter sign, Venus star Mars sub (258°) but Moon will be in Hastham star (Mercury sign, Moon's star) So reject this date. On 6th January Moon transits in Visakam (Venus sign, JUPITER's star) star. Sun transits in JUPITER sub in Pooradam Venus star Since Mars at the time of analysis is conjoined with JUPITER. JUPITER sub can be selected instead of MARS Sub. Therefore before 10 A.M. on 61h January, 1967 a Friday, in Meena Lagna governed by JUPITER, the native will get employed. Mostly, Mar's sub in JUPITER's star Poorattathi will be rising to the east, at the time of appointment.

COURAGE AND CONFIDENCE OR COWARDICE AND CONFUSION

Mantreswara in Phaladeepika says that the courage, the valour and the prowess are to be judged from the third house: So also one's strength, energy and courage are signified by Mars.

Therefore if the 3" cusp, planets in the 3rd house, planets in the sub of Mars or constellation of Mars or those receiving good aspects from Mars contribute for one's confidence and courage. "Mercury in 5 contributes for courage : so also Saturn in the 11* house"

In Jataka Tatwa, Mahadeva says that Mars in the sign of a benefic offers courage. He adds that Mars conjoined with Gulika produces bold people. But they will not be intelligent. Further he declares that if the third house owned by a malefic, is occupied by a malefic and the lord of the house occupies a sign owned by any malefic, one will be courageous and confident.

Weak Mars aspecting Lagna shows that the person is cowardly. For those born during night, if Saturn is in Meridian, the native is not bold Mars, in his own sign, aspecting the lagna makes one coward (This does not come true). In Uthra-Kalamrita, Kalidasa says that both Sun and Mars contribute for courage and confidence.

In Sanketanidhi, it is said that lord of 8 in 2 or 3 robs away one's courage : But lord of 2 in 3 or 4 gives boldness.

160 RETROGAADE PLANT Krishnamurti. Houses 3 and 5 are to be judged for brave action whereas 8h house is for fear and timidity. Kethu causes confusion : Rahu, according to its situation makes one bold or timid. Mars and Sun give courage : Jupiter makes one optimistic ; Moon and Mercury ever changing : occasionally bold and occasionally timid depending on the planet with which they are conjoined or aspected by Saturn makes one pessimistic. Venus takes everything easy, Therefore planets in the constellation or sub of Mars and Sun give confidence and makes one bold. If a planet is in the constellation or sub of Juipter, one is in buoyant and Jubilant spirit in its period. That planet occupying Saturn star or Saturn sub makes him a pessimist. Planets in the constellation of Kethu or sub of Kethu creates confusion and perplexes one. Depending on the strength of Rahu according to the lord of the constellation and sub which Rahu occupies, planets in the constellation or sub of Rahu will behave in their period and sub period.

KRISHNAMURTI PADHDHATI 161 Jupiter dasa Balance 9 years. 10 months and 24 days He is running Saturn Dasa, Rahu Bhukthi from 22-12-64.

Saturn, the dasanatha is in Sun's star Rahu sub. Rahu is in Sun star, Saturn sub. As Saturn is a pessimist, even though Rahu is in the Constellation of Sun, yet the sub lord denies in Rahu's period, sub period and conjoined period of Saturn and Rahu,

Both Saturn and Rahu in the Constellation of lord of 3, especially, must offer extraordinary courage. But since 2 months, he suffers from fear complex and does not attend to his office.

The period now on, is Saturn Dasa, Rahu Bhukti (occupying 3" house) and Kethu anthra from 19-8-66. Kethu is also in Saturn star Saturn sub. All these three are evil. When Venus sub sub period runs, he will be normal as it is in its own sub. Therefore he will be alright from 19-10-66 and he will join duty on 20-10-66 on a Poorvashada star day.

The man is growing age, Adoubt may come into mind whether he is destined to marriage at all. Whether marriage will take place or not is to be ascertained with the help of 71h cusp and to the, sub sub lord is the key guide for any matter in question. This is a marriage case So sub sub of 7th cusp should be pursued. The 7th cusp falls in the sign of Virgo- kanya, in the star of Sun, in the sub of Saturn and lastly in the sub sub of Moon who will guide whether marriage is there at all.

It is better to find out the fruitful significators with the help of the formula below.

Planet A in th sub sub of Planet B

Planet B in the star of Planet C

C is at required house or may be at neutral house but should be connected with a required one.

If we follow the above formula, then Saturn Moon and Rahu are found to be fruitful, Sub sub lord of 7 is Moon and Moon is found fruitful, so marriage is promised - how? Moon, lord of 5 at 3 in her own star is in the sub sub of Mars,

164 RETROGRADE PLANT

owner of 2 at lagna and Mars is in Mercury who is owner of 7 at 5.

When judged the man who is running through Jupiter dasa Venus bhukthi. What could have happened in earlier dasa bhukthi is not our subject matter here. Our interest is to find out whether he is destined to marriage, if so when.

We have found that only Saturn, Moon and Rahu are fruitful significators but the man is passing through Jupier / Venus whether this Jupier / Venus can offer him marriage is to be examined deeply.

Here comes the mighty role of node. Krishnamurti Padhdhati folk ers will agree with me that node, is becoming agent of the planets with whom it is conjoined or is aspected or the lord in whose constellation it is in or the lord in whose sign it is posited. Next, as per Hindu, rahu had full aspect on 5th, 7th, 9™h and 12th house from its position.

Rahu is at Virgo-Kanya, aspects Jupiter, Moon and Saturn by its 5t aspect, Mars by 7th aspect, 11t house by 9h aspect and 8th house by12th aspect. Next, Rahu is in the sign of Mercury, so it is agent of Mercury. It is conjoined with Venus, so it is agent of Venus too. It is posited in Sun's star, rahu is once again agent of the Sun. Therefore rahu represents Mercury, Venus and Sun; Jupier, Moon and Saturn: and Mars.

KRISHNAMURTI PADHDHATI 165 Jupiter dasa is on and Rahu agent of Jupiter, Venus bhukthi is running, so Rahu represents Venus with whom it is conjoined. So Jupiter dasa Venus bhukthi may offer him marriage. It was prognosticated that marriage would take place either in July 79 or latest by first week of February 1980, either in Jupiter-Venus-Venus period or in Juptier-Venus-Moon period but it took place on 18!h February, 1980 in Jupiter-Venus-Mars period. As per probable transit, I tried to fix up the period either in Shrabana-July or in Falguna-February 80, In the intermediate period neither the transits were agreeable nor the months which were acceptable to the Bengalis.

Transits on 18-2-80 at night-were as follows: (1 )Sun-In the sign of Aquarius-Kumbha at 5°40' in the star of retrograde Mars (anthrax lord) and in the sub of Venus bhukthi lord and Karaka lord).

(2)Jupiter-Dasa lord is in the sign of Leo-Simha at 2°41' in the star of Kethu and in the sub of Mercury, Jupiter was in retrograde motion.

(3)Venus-Bhukthi lord in the sign of Pisces-meena at 16'39' in the star of retrograde Saturn and in the sub of retrograde Jupiter. (4)Mars-Anthra lord is retrograde in the sign of Leo-Simha at 14'47' in the star and sub of Venus (5)Consider another slow moving planet, Saturn. He is retrograde in Virgo-Kanya at 2°0' in the star of Sun and in the sub of retrograde Jupiter.

Theory of Retrogradation : It is interesting to note that marriage took place in the period of Juptier-Venus-Mars who in transit were either retrograde or in the star and subs, lords of which were also in retrograde motion. Venus is not retrograde on 18-2-80 but she was posited the star of Saturn who was in retrograde motion. Also Venus was in the sub of Jupiter who too was in backward motion.

166 RETROGRADE PLANT These transits, as discussed above, are eye-opener to all who are still indignant to my earlier suggestion. One may note with care that Jupiter is retrograde and he is far away from the Sun but he is in the star of kethu at Kumbha (on transit) within 3/ of the Sun on 18-2-80,so Jupiter did not stop his result eventhough he was in retrograde motion. Bhukthi lord Venus was not retrograde but she was posited In the star of Saturn and in the sub of Juptier. Both Saturn and Jupiter were retrograde. About Jupiter, I have told. Now Saturn in Virgo-Kanya and is far away from the Sun, interestingly, he is posited in the star of Sun.

Mars is retrograde but is posited in the star and sub of Venus who is in direct motion at Pisces-Meena but is away from the Sun by about 40°

The theory suggests that any retrograde planet if he is near the Sun by about 20/22° (I was optimist upto 30°) or posited in the star, lord of which is near the Sun or posited in the star of Sun,the retrograde planet will behave normally like a direct planet because of combustible power of the Sun in whose proximity the retrograde planets or their star lord are present. In a number of cases I have experienced it and I have brought their results to the knowledge of the esteemed readers

Now Jupiter in transit is retrograde, then he should have su.spended the result temporarily for his retrograde course at least, he should have help up the result till he becomes direct. But he did, rather he helped the matter in favour of the event for fructification. Similar is the care of Venus. Venus is not retrograde but she is posited in the star of Saturn who is retrograde. Again mars is retrograde but he is posited in Venus who is not retrograde.

Let us scrutinize them. On 18-2-80 Jupiter is in the star of Kethu who is within 3 1/2 ° of the sun at Kumbha-Aquarius. Therefore, theory of Retrogradation is very much effective here, i.e. retrograde Jupiter is in the star of Kethu who is near the Sun, hence retrograde nature of Jupiter is practically nil, so,

KRISHNAMURTI PADHDHATI 167 Jupiter being in the star of kethu acts like a direct planet and did not stop the event eventhough his main dasa was in operation.

On 18-2-80 Venus at Pisces-Meena in the star of Saturn who is retrograde. In return, Saturn is posited in the star of Uttraphalguni, lord of which is Sun. Mars is very far away from the Sun. Mars is in the star of Venus who is at Meena 16° and distance between the Sun and Venus is about 40°. As per theory, it is beyond even 10° of the optimistic value of 30° as I refer to above How then can we draw conclusion on it? Venus is not only in the star of Saturn who is retrograde but Venus is also posited in the sub of Jupiter who again is in retrograde motion. Venus offered result in a peculiar way eventhough she was in the sub and star of retrograde planets. My opinion is below, any scholar may throw more light on it so that we can learn more about Krishnamurti Padhdhati system.

As regard Venus, she is generally found near or away to the maximum extent of 48° of the Sun. It is felt (it is quite a possibility) that retrograde nature of Venus may not stand in the way of achieving result although she remains away from the Sun by over 30°. Or it may be due to the reason that her placement in the sign of Rajoguna or Satwaguna planet or in their constellation in similar significators.

Venus, a Rajoguna planet is posited in the sign of Pisces, Meena (on transit on 18-2-80) owner of which is Jupiter a Satwaguna sign, Venus is in the star of Saturn who although is of Tamoguna nature, Saturn is posited in the sign of Kanya- Virgo owener of which is Mercury, a Rajoguna planet. Saturn is also posited in the star of Sun, a Satwaguna planet. The above two points should deeply be pursued. The above may also be applicable in the case of Mercury but is should be noted with care that Mercury is very often found near the Sun. Its maximum proximity is 28° from the Sun. But for other major planets, such as, Jupiter, Saturn an dMars, it is

168 RETROGRADE PLANT better to apply earlier formula which appears to be very effective as per theory of retrogradation of planets. However, whatever may be the planetary positions on 18-2-80, it is a fact that marriage took place on the date which we cannot deny. Fact does not wait for astrological analysis

Theory of Substitution : In our earlier analysis, we have found Saturn, Moon and Rahu are only beneficial planets for marriage as per formula. Next we have also considered the powerful role of node, Rahu. As per Krishnamurti padhdhati system, we have included Venus, Mercury, Sun, Jupiter, Moon, Saturn and Mars in favour of Rahu since its placement, conjuction, star position and aspects etc. If that is so then besides Saturn, Moon and Rahu. we can also include Jupiter, Venus. Mercury, Sun and Mars. Kethu too will come since it is in associatin with Mars. That means, all the nine planets, eventhough we do not find more than 3 planets in general way.

Next, we have found Saturn, Moon and Rahu, who are useful for marriage. Now if they are good, planets who are in their stars must also be equally good as per condition of stellar astrology. If that is so then none in Saturn star. Only moon in Moon star and none in Rahu. Again those three are coming as strong significators as we see earlier.

But Jupiter dasa Venus bhukthi is running in whole period and sub period marriage had come. How did we consider then? Rahu aspects Jupiter (by 5h aspect) and Venus conjoins Rahu. Again Rahu and Venus both aspect Mars in whose anthrax period marriage took place on 18-2-80. The above can be substituted in other way which will be known as Theory of Substitution. When things appear to be clemsy and hazard, one can think of the theory to arrive at the conclusion. I find many ways to select useful significators which t want to share with my esteemed readers-followers. We were discussing about Rahu who had been representing Mercury,

KRISHNAMURTI PADHDHATI 169

Venus, Sun, Jupiter, Moon, Saturn and Mars. Let us again see whether these 7 planets are really beneficial for marriage as per theory of substitution, Let us look the planetary positions of the male chart,

Rahu is in the sub sub of Mars and Mars is in the star of Mercury who is at 5, a house of festive occasion, lover affair, free choice, sports, games etc. Therefore, Rahu is undoubtedly good.

How is Rahu here? It is finally in the star of Mercury (besides its placement in Virgo Kanya). Planet A in the star of planet B means B is becoming agent of B. A will act what B does.

Rahu is in the star of Sun i.e, in the star of Uttraphalguni lord of which is Sun. Its position is from 26°40' of Leo-Simha to 10° of Virgo-Kanya. But rahu is spotted in the sub division of Rahu at the beginning of Virgu-Kanya. Yet this sub area is not small. It is located in the sub sub division of Mars. This little but sensitive area of Rahu who is Mars, is the agent of Rahu, and Mars is posited in the star of Mercury. So Mars in mercury star and Mars is agent of Rahu. Therefore Rahu and Mercury are inter- linked via Mars. If that is so, we can replace Rahu by Mercury in the sub sub division where there is Rahu and therefby hazard appearance of the planetary positions appears to be easy. We can apply this theory for any planet we like and things are believed to be in fruitful shape. Let us see.

Then Mercury is instead of Rahu. Now who are the planets that are in the sub sub of Rahu? Remove Rahu and insert Mercury in his place. Mars, Mercury and Sun are in the sub sub of Rahu in whose place we can put Mercury i.e. Mercury for Rahu. Then what may be the shape of the planetary positions? Take Mars, Mercury and Sun. Now they are in the sub sub Mercury and Mercury is in the star of his own (Mercury at 5, owner of 7, hence Mars, Mercury and Sun are good and fruitful for marriage).

Examine Venus in whose bhukthi marriage had come Venus is in the sub sub of Saturn and Saturn is in the star of Sun. So

170 RETROGRADE PLANT Venus should be replaced by Sun See who are the planets that are in the sub sub of Venus. Kethu and Jupiter are in the sub sub of Venus. So their sub sub divisional lords may be replaced by Sun. Then Kethu and Jupiter are in the sub sub of Sun and Sun is in the star of Kethu at 12 (Sukhasayana i.e. bed comfort), close to lagna cusp and also in association with Mars, lord of 2 at lagna bhava, hence Kethu and Jupiter (dasa lord) are good and fruitful Examine Saturn who will be replaced by Mars, Planets who are in the sub sub of Saturn should be replaced by Mars. Only Venus is in the sub sub of Saturn. Then position of Venus will be Venus in the sub sub of Mars and mars in the star of Mercury, owner of 7 at 5, hence Venus is good and in where bhukthi period marriage has come.

Therefore Jupiter-Venus-Mars i.e. dasa-bhukthi-anthra lords are found to be beneficial when we were a bit hesitant before arriving at the conclusion in our earlier analysis with help of node Rahu.

(2) We can also solve the problem in the following way with the help of theory of Substitution. Take the case of Mars. Now mars is in the sub sub of Rahu and Rahu is in the star of Sun. So Rahu and Sun are interlinked position. Remove Rahu, the sub sub lord of Mars and put Sun in Rahu's place. What may then be the position ? Now Mars is in the sub sub of Sun (instead of Rahu) and Sun in the star of kethu at 12 (Suhasayana i.e. bed comfort) in association with Mars, lord of 2 at lagna. Does not the thing appear to be clear? I feel, yes. so we should see both the ways-any of the two or both will indicate the bhava results.

The above theory may be helpful in the case of the theory of Retrogradation of planets. However the man is married even though he was in advanced age.

In fact runt iing dasa bhukll : of the girl encouraged me to tell the man that there is a possibility of his marriage with this girl and that too and in march 80. Of course, it may or may not be particularly with him She may be married elsewhere to other man who is running marriageable dasa/bhukthi that may coincide with her.

Verification with Multi-Stellar Theory :- Mercury is in the Sub sub of Rahu and Rahu is in the star of Moon, owner of lagna at 9 Moon in Kethu star and Kethu is at 12 (sukhasayana) examine Kethu. Kethu is in the sub sub of Mercury and Mercury is in the star of rahu at 6 Sixth bhava is a doubtful bhava for marriage. But bhava alone is not all. Its constellational zones are to be well scrutinized. In the sixth bhava, there are 3 zones viz. Venus, Sun and moon. Lords of these zonal constellations are well placed in the fruitful houses. Venus is at 9, Sun is at 11 and Moon is at 9, Rahu is placed in the 9. Moon lord of lagna, sextile to 11 and trine to 2. Hence position of Rahu at 6 in the constellation of Moon is good.

Next Rahu agent of Saturn as it covers the whole of Makara- Satum sign. Saturn is at 3 in the star of Mars at 11 Rahu is trined by Jupier. Both Jupiter and Rahu are in the constellation of Moon and Moon is at 9. Juptier is in the sub sub of Mars and Mars in Mars in 11. Hence Jupiter's aspect Rahu is good. Next, Mars aspects Rahu (as per Hindu by 81h aspect). Mars in Mars star and Rahu in Moon. Moon and Mars are in sextile aspect i.e. from good house to good house also Mercury is at 11. hence Mercury bhukthi is conductive for marriage event

Verification by Thoery of Substitution :- 1. Planets who are in the sub sub of rahu are to be replaced how? Rahu is in the sub sub of Saturn and Saturn is in the star of Mars. Now Rahu and Mars are interlinked. Mercury is in the sub sub of. Rahu and Rahu will be replaced by mars. Then Mercury is in the sub sub of Mars and Mars is in the star of his own (Mars) and Mars is at 11 Hence Mercury bhukthi appears to be fruitful.

2. Rahu in Moon star hence Moon and Rahu are inter linked. Now replaced Rahu by Moon. Then Mercury is in the sub sub of Moon and Moon is in the star of Kethu at 12 (sukhasayana). Kethu is in the star of Saturn, owner of 7 at 3. Dasa lord and anthra lord even be done in same fashion

Verification by Lagna Dasa (Ascendant Cusp) Balance of Mercury at birth by lagna dasa is 10y7m30 days. When judged in May 79, she was running through Venus / rahu from 8-4-78 to 5-4-80. Both dasa and bhukthi are favourable for her marriage. Possibly, Venus-Rahu-Kethu or Venus-Rahu- Venus may be the period of her marriage. It is almost coinciding with her Moon dasa. This is just for verification.

Verfication by marriage dasa (7h Cusp) Balance of Moon 1y3m9days. When judged, she was running Jupiter / Jupiter. Juptiter-Jupiter-Saturn may be the possible period of May 80 from last of December 79. This period gives the indication of her marriage if dasa bhukthi is calculated from the Moon's position. One may examine both Jupier and Saturn. Jupiter is in the sub sub of Mars and Mars in Mars at 11. Saturn is in the sub sub of Rahu and Rahu in Moon at 9, conjoined with Venus the 11th lord Karakapati.

All these possibilities helped me to draw up conclusion on the chart of the man that this marriage may likely to take place anyhow by February 80 or latest by March 80 and possibly with this girl since negotiation is in progress.

Next, there are other reasons which may convince one to believe it. Ruling Planets are the guide. The Ruling Planets KP of both of them at birth will reveal how their marriage will be in agreement. Let us examine them how do they agree.

Ruling Planets of the Man

1. Lagna Sub : Saturn 2.Lagna star : Saturn 3. Lagna Lord : Jupiter / Kethu 4. Moon Star : Moon 5. Rasi Lord : Venus 6 Day Lord : Saturn

Saturn, Jupiter, Kethu, Moon and Venus

KRISHNAMURTI PADHDHATI 175 Ruling Planets of the Girl

1. Lagna Sub : Sun. 2. Lagna star : Mercury 3. Lagna Lord : Moon / Kethu 4. Moon Star : Kethu 5. Rasi Lord : Mars 6. Day Lord : Moon / Kethu Sun. Mercury, Moon, Kethu and Mars The common are Kethu and Moon. We can reject the others. Now in man's chart. Moon in Moon and Sun in Kethu. So planets for man are Moon, Kethu and Sun. Now Sun is the lagna sub of the girl (1). Kethu is the Moon star (4) of the girl, also Kethu represents lagna-lord and day lord of the girl and Moon is the lagna lord (3), and day lord (6) of the girl. That is out of 6 Ruling Planets. 4 are agreeing with the girl. If 50% Ruling Planets are coinciding then agreement is satisfactory, if between 60% and 80% then it is good, 80% and above is the best Less than 50% is not conducive for marriage agreement. Then proposal of marriage with the opponent should be avoided. Ruling Planets arrangement also gives indication of happiness. In the case of the man, arrangement is over 60% hence agreement appears to be good.

Inthe gilr's chart, Jupiter and Rahu in Moon and Venus and Moon in Kethu. So planets are Moon, Jupiter and Rahu and Venus and Kethu. Moon is the Moon star (4) of the man; Jupiter and kethu are the lagna lord (3). Venus is the rasi lord (5) of the man. Here also 4 planets are agreeing out of 6 and arrangement appears to be good. Now Ruling Planets of the both are arranged below :

For Man - Moon, Kethu, Sun For Girl - Moon, Jupiter, Rahu, Venus, Kethu

So they are Moon, Kethu, Sun, Jupiter, Rahu and Sun. Now at the time of judgement, the man was running Jupiter dasa Venus bhukthi. In the Ruling Planets, both Jupiter and Venus are present. It is believed that this Jupiter / Venus period may offer his marriage.

176 RETROGRADE PLANT The girl was running Sun dasa Mercury bhukthi. In the Ruling planets, Sun as dasa lord is there. But we do not see Mercury, the bhukthi lord of the girl A careful scrutiny will reveal that Mercury is strong in the star of Rahu. So Mercury bhukthi is indicating her marriage and it appears to be fruitful. Both are happily married on 18-2-80. Transits of the planets for girl on 18-2-80 when marriage performed in the night, were given below : Dasa lord Sun was in Kumbha in the star of Mars and sub of Venus (Karaka). Mercury was also in Kumbha at 23°42' in the star of Jupiter and in the sub of Saturn (anthra lord). Both Jupiter and Saturn were retrograde. One may satisfy his curiosity with the help of Theory of Retrogradation and he will get the thing cleared. Anthra lord Saturn was retrograde in Virgo-Kanya at 2° in the star of Sun and in the sub of Jupiter. Transit for both was same but what we should examine whether there are significators for marriage.

If we look to the charts, both are married in delayed way. Sub lord of 7th cusp of the man is Saturn and sub sub lord is Moon, Saturn lord of 11 in 2, Moon has been placed at 3 but both Moon and Saturn are in association and both trine to 7. Moon owner of 5 at 3 in the sub of Saturn. This Moon-Saturn combination causes "Poonerphoo" as a result of which marriage proposal falls through, makes cancellation of dates including refusal of fixed marriage. No proposal has so far maturated since he attained the age of marriage. Even he is not sure whether he will marry particularly this girl, because a number of proposals has fallen through for a reason or other for which he is not responsible. If we look to his age, we can understand the position. However it is a case of delayed marriage.

On the other hand, the girl who is aged about 27 has caused head-ache to her parents. 27 years of age for a girl is sufficient enough to snatch away peaceful sleep of her parents. Who made her delayed marriage? It is Saturn. Saturn owner of 7 at

KRISHNAMURTI PADHDHATI 177 3 (delay) but Satum is in the star of Mars at 11. So she is destined to maniage but in delayed way she is not denied. Those whose 7" cusp falls in the sign of Saturn, it is seen from the experience that their marriage is delayed by a bit and also age difference between partners is much and some time is very high. But I am not sure that it is a must for all cases. One should make it a point for test and verification.

However she has got an aged husband though the male appears to be wise and reasonable. It appears from the sub sub lord of her 7th cusp who is Jupiter. On the other hand, the man has got a young wife in compare to his age. Age difference is very high in their case eventhough girl is aged 27 years (young?) sub sub lord of 7: cusp of the man is Moon which indicates young partner. Apart from allthese above, they will lead a happy life because their Ruling Planets are in good and favourable agreement. harmony and in agreeable state.

Conclusion : The man is a state ranking cricketer but he failed to make his debut in it for a reason or other for which his ill-luck is responsible I feel, this is for the disposition of Venus at 6 in the star of Sun who is also at 6. Mercury, a playful planet at 5 (sports and games) in his own star at 5. Mars, a courageous and dashing planet is also in the star of Mercury. Mars is placed at lagna bhava (good) and also Mars an dMercury are in good trine Both are placed in fruitful signs. But Saturn, the 11th as well as the 12'h lord is placed at 2 in the star of Sun who is at 6 (bad). Saturn trine to Venus at 6 (bad). Saturn trine to Venus at 6 (bad). Saturn square to Sun (bad). Interestingly, both Venus and Saturn are in Sun star and Sun in Kethu at 12 Sun and Kethu are in quin=cunx aspect. Planets in bad house and their mutual bad aspect is good. Because of this, possibly, he became a little bit successful in his cricket but finally he failed because though Kethu is at 12, it is within the orb of lagna cusp

178 RETROGRADE PLANT which is in quin-cunx aspect with Sun (bad) and Kethu and Mars are opposing Venus (Karaka) and Venus in Sun (bad) at 6. The girl has done her M.A. in Sanskrit. Moon and Venus, lord of lagna and 4+ (general education) and 11* (where desire is fulfilled) respectively are placed in 9 (higher education) Jupiter, the wise and Guru and the most helpful planet for learning Sanskrit is posited at 10 (honour) is in the star of Moon, owner of lagna at 9 Jupiter trine to Saturn at 3 augumented her perserverence in learning Sanskrit to a desirable extent. Saturn is in the star of Mars at 11 brought her success in her effort.

It is reported that she has a very good hand in paintings. Not imposible Moon the imagination, owner of lagna nad fruitful sign at 9 (higher thought) conjoin with Venus, the symbol of art and music.

Let us wish them a happy marired life.

RESTORATION OF CURRENT WHEN? THROUGH R.P.

Current failed on 1-12-85 from Morning 10.30 a.m My son Mr. Hari Prasad wanted to know when the current will come according to the principles of K.P. System. There is no current even upto 5.30 p.m. 1 have started to calculate the ruling planets at 6.30 p.m. to find out the resumption of current.

The ruling planets at the time of considering the querry are as follows:

Day lord is Sunday Sun Moon in rasi Mercury (II) Moon star lord Jupiter Lagna lord Mercury (II) Lagna star lord Mars

Current will restore during the point raising Lagna a fiery planet among n' ,g planets. Now considering the houses ruling the combination of above ruling planets. First take & n's House Leo-there is no Jup. er. Mercury of Mars stars eliminate this house. Next take Mercury house Gemini, Mercury has come twice Rasi Lord and Lagna Lord. So Mercury is a strong planet. In this House (Gemini) Jupiter and Mars stars are there. So which of thse can be taken into account either Jupiter or Mars as star Lord for consideration. This doubt can be cleared from the strong ruling planets. Jupiter is the lord of lagna, whereas Mars is the star lord of Lagna. Hence Mars is stronger than Jupiter to give results. Now which sub period the current will come is the question. In Mercury sign (II) Mars star, Sun sub, which is a fiery planet responsible for light and energy is taken

KRISHNAMURTI PADHDHATI 181 How wonder, at the stroke of 6-59 p m the lights in my house as well as neighbours were started glowing and given light. This prediction is entirely based on ruling planets and the help of horary chart is not considered, as the event is going to materialize within a matter of hours, lagna only taken into consideration.

Hats off to the theory of ruling planets propounded by our Guruji and its application in predictions, which will come true.

IS PROGENY PROMISED?

One of my friends who knew that I knew astrology, asked me on 29-1-1975 to calculate astro logically when he will be blessed with a child At my bidding, he gave No.9 between 1 and 249. After blowing to Gurujee, the innovator of K.P Method, I started calculation at 9-15 p.m. on the same day. The chart of the heavens Is given.

The position of the Moon, called Mathi should indicate the querent's mind. Here Moon is lord of the 5th House and posited in the 5" House, but in a barren sign. It is posited in the star and sub of Venus, lord of 2m and 7* houses in 11m house. So, the position of Moon clearly depicts the querrents mind regarding child birth.

In order to judge whether one is promised children, the following three conditions are to be satisfied simultaneously, reference Horary Astrology by Shri Krishnamurti, Page 192.

1. The Sub Lord of the 5th House is not retrograde;

2. It is not posited in a constellation of a retrograde planet; and

3 l is a significator of either 2nd or 5" or 11" house

KRISHNAMURTI PADHDHATI 183

If any one of these, conditions is not satisfied, one will not be able to have a child at all.

The sub-lord of the 5h house is Rahu.

1. It is not retrograde

2. It is posited in the Star of Saturn which is retrograde.

3. It represents 11th House, being deposited in the star of retrograde Saturn.

Since, the 2'" condition is not satisfied i.e .. it is posited in the constellation of a retrograde planet, the querrent is not assured of progeny.

The lagna of wife is the 7th House of the querent and her 5 house will be the 11th house of the querrent. In order to judge whether wife is able to produce we have to see the Sub-Lord of her 5t house i.e. 11* house of the husband. In this case the sub-lord of the 5t House is again Rahu As stated above, Rahu cannot contribute to child birth, so she is unable to produce.

184 RETROGRADE PLANT

This clearly shows that both husband and wife are sterile. Accordingly I told my friend about the result of my calculation, I wanted to confirm the result from a number given by his wife. On 4-2-1975, the couplevisited our house and his wife gave me the number 48 between 1 and 249. The chart of the heavens at 9-34 p.m. on 4-2-1975 at Kalakot is as under

Whether the Querent can produce

Judge sub lord of the 5'h house. It is Rahu in this case

1. Itis not retrograde.

2. It is posited in the star of Saturn which is retrograde

3. It represents 2nd house being conjoined with moon, lord of 2nd house.

Out of three conditions, only two are satisified.

From these calculation, I was confident that there was no promise of a child to them They had been married for a period of ten years without any child. On 5-2-1975, evening, I told my friend of my prediction He confessed that many astrologers had said that they would have issues if they performed pooja etc., which they had done many a time but invain. Similarly the doctors too never disappointed them and prescribed medicines which also failed to give the desired result. After a few months, the couple adopted a child and felt satisfied.

GOOD LUCK.

PROMOTION AND RETROGRADE PLANETS

On one day evening a gazatted officer entered my room and asked me to predict the time of his promotion and for this he furnished No. 120.

The cuspal chart and the planetary position for the time of Judgement is given here. According our Gurujee in Reader VI Page 287 for promotion consider the 11th cusp and find out whether the lord of the sub of the 11" cusp in either retrograde or deposited in a constellation whose lord in retrograde . Ifeither is retrograde one can not get promotion. If the Sub lord and the lord of constellation in which it is situated are in direct motion and if the same sub lord is also a significator of houses 2 or 6 or 10 or 11 then the promotion is promised otherwise not. Fulfilment of all these three conditions is a must. If any one of them is not fulfilled, promotion is not guaranteed. Balance dasa of Kethu at the time of Judegment was 2 years 8 months and 17 days only. XIth Cusp sub lord is Mars.

In Reader IlI page 247, our Gurujee says that if the lord of the 11" cusp is retrograde then only whatever he desires to have will not be had. Ambition can not be realized.

Here there is no trace of star lord whether it may be direct or retrograde According to this rule only sub lord is deciding factor.

And it is my personal experience that only sub lord decides the case. Many times I have seen that sub lord is in direct motion and the star lord in which sub lord is posited is in retrograde motion. And the desire has been fulfilled as predicted.

I am putting here the same type of case and in future I shall also write the articles on different problems applying the same principle.

188 RETROGRADE PLANT For Promotion the houses to be Judged are 2,6,10 and 11.

To know the state of mind of the queriest the position of Moon must be taken. Here Moon is the owner of 11 it is posited in the 3m, Moon is in the star of Kethu occupant of 11, Moon is aspecting 10 house. It is conjoined Saturn owner of 6, and aspecting Venus the owner of 2. Hence Moon is fully connected with 2,6,10,11 so question is clear regarding promotion.

Now for desire of fulfillment the 11th cusp sub lord, is Mars which is in direct motion and is the occupant of 10. Mars is in the star of Saturn which is retrograde. So one condition is not fulfilled, and hence there is denial of promotion.

But, here the sub lord of the 11th cusp Mars is making an applying aspect of beneficial nature from the 11* cusp, and Mars is also in direct motion so the desire of the querist will be fulfilled. There is no question of any doubt or denial.

Now the significators of the required houses are :- Venus, Saturn, Rahu, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Sun, Kethu, Moon, all the nine planets.

Ruling planets are Jupiter, Venus, Jupiter, Kethu, and Moon as.lagna sign lord, lagna star lord Moon sign lord, Moon star lord and day lord respectively. So the oommon significators among the two are Jupiter, Venus, Kethu, Moon, Present dasa is running of Kethu dasa and Jupiter Bhukti. Mercury Anthra will run upto 19-7-89. There after Kethu anthra will run upto 9-8-89 with the end of Kethu anthra, the anthra of Venus will start and will run from 943-89 to 5-10-89

Among ruling planets Venus is stronger than Kethu. So it was predicted that the promotion will take place in Kethu dasa Jupiter Bhukti and Venus Anthra".

He received the promotion letter in Kethu anthra on 1 -8-89 but joined the promoted post on 17-8-89 in Venus anthra as predicted.

KRISHNAMURTI PADHDHATI 189

This clearly indicate that though the sub lord of the 11"cusp was in the constellation of retrograde planet, the promotion was not denied.

RETROGRADE SATRUN AND SETBACK IN SERVICE

"Rice and success followed by downfall and adversity". This is how Saturn's position in the 10th house, especially when it is retrograde is summed up in various astrological works. This should be especially so if the sub lord of the 10th cusp is Saturn and it is retrograde and occupies the Midheaven (10th house). The native in whose chart Saturn is so place must suffer reversal at some stage of life, whatever position he or she may occupy. I would like to touch this topic in this article, using a chart in which Saturn as lord of 10, occupies the 10" house in retrogression and where Saturn also happens to rule the sub on the cusp of the 10h house.

Mr, 'X', to whom the chart reproduced hereunder belongs, was eager to know whether he would regain the lost position in service. He had furnished a horoscope as cast by some one else, but I had corrected it according to the scientific method described in Krishnamurti Padhdhat.

17-2-1969: Reverted to class 1 post which he held in July 1962. As a result of this, he lose his seniority in service.

The sub lord of the 10m cusp in a chart determines honour, fame, recognition, advancement in professional life, etc. and, if afflicted reverses in life.

Houses 2,6 and 10 and their significators are considered in connection with professional life. The life 2nd house relates finance the 6th house denotes service in return for wages or drudgery, and the 10 house the professional skills acquired, honour, recognition, merit, etc., among the other matters. The houses which are twelfth to these house are said to negate the influences ruled by them, and form this angle, houses 1,5, and 9 which are twelfth to houses 2,6 and 10 respecticvely, are called negating houses They do not contribute to the matters governed by houses 2,6, and 10. In other words, during the conjoint periods of planets signifying 1.5 and 9 houses, there

192 RETROGRADE PLANT will be change of work or duties or even job, or the native may proceed on leave, and in some cases even face reversal in service in the ordinary course and not necessarily as punishment. Any matter by way of punishment would come under the preview of the 8"" house which is referred to in classical literature as Adhi' (Mental pain), 'Parabhava' (defear or insult) and 'Apavadha (Scandal or ill-repute). If the significators of houses 10 or 6 also happen to be a strong significator of houses 8 and 1, 5 or 9, then obstacles, impediments and mental agony in service matters are the indications If there is no connection with house 8, no such harmful results will ensue.

In actual life, we find that when a certain dasa operates the native enters into service, rises in the ladder, faces reversals and inimical activites, recovers from mental agony, leads a normal professiola life for a number of years and then secures a spell of accelerated promotions, etc. While a dasa denotes certain general indications, the bhukties are more precise and mark the time of stresses and strains, and the anthras specify the good or adverse periods more accurately. A result is the inter-action of more than two or three planets and cannot be ascribed to one planet the dasa lord or bhukti lord alone. If the dasa lord 'A'the bhukti lord B and the anthra lord 'Cjointly signify houses which have relevance to advancement in service, their conjoint period in Vimshottari Dasa will bring it about. But if the dasa lord A though good for professional matters, is weak and the bhukti lord 'B' and anthra lord 'C'are more powerful to cause inimical such as reversion to a lower post or suspention in service, etc .. but dint of their significations of evil houses, their conjoint period in Vimshottari Dasa will mark the time of adversity. From this it would appear that one cannot come to a judgment solely from the sub-lord of the 10th cusp or the 61h cusp alone, or form Saturn, whether it is in direct motion or in retrogression. The sub lord of the 10th cusp indicates, in a general way without reference to any period of time in life, the native's status in society, his honour, fame, recognition, advancement, etc , and whenever it transits in favourbale

KRISHNAMURTI PADHDHATI 193 positions in the zodiac, it will further its natal indictions, especially if, at birth, it was a strong indicator of the 10 house. Let us study the example chart applying all these principles.

In the chart under discussion, the 10th cusp falls in Saturn's Makara in Sun's nakshatra Uttarashada and in the sub division governed by Saturn. Saturn is retrograde and occupies the 10th house in his own sign and is thus very powerful for the affairs ruled by the 10th. The 6" house is governed by Mercury as the sign lord. Sun as the nakshatra lord and ketu as the sub-lord, and ketu has gone to the 5th house in conjunction with Mercury lord of 6 in 5 and Jupiter, lord of 9 and 12 in 5. What role did Saturn plat in matter of the native's professional career?

On 30-5-1957 (Thursday), when the native entered service, he was running Sun Dasa, Mercury Bhukti, Mercury Anthra. The transits then were as follows:

The dasa lord, Sun, was the only planet in the chart tenanted in the constellation of Mercury, lord of 6 (service). The 6ih house was unoccupied. And so Mercury itself represents the 6th house also, in addition to its other indications. Sun, it may be

remembered, is also the constellation ruler of the cusps of houses 6 and 10.

Transit

(1)Lord of 10 and 11, Saturn who was retrograde at birth, was retrograde in transit also. He was transiting in the 8" house of the natal char! But in the constellation and sub of Mercury, lord of 6, and bhukti and anthra lord. Sani transited the sign of Mars who, by virtue of his disposition in the constellation of Rahu in 11 as the representative of Saturn, lord of 10 and 11, and in the sub of Saturn occupying powertully the 10 house as lord of 10, is a very strong indicator of the matters coming under the 10 and 11th houses.

(2)Dasa lord, Sun, was exactly over cusp of the 2nd house of the birth chart. Sun in the constellation of Moon in 9 shows removal and long journeys.

(3)Bhukti and anthra lord, Mercury, transited in lagna in the constellation of Venus, lord of 2.

KRISHNAMURTI PADHDHATI 195 (4)Moon transited in the 2nd house in the constellation of Mars, a powerful significator of houses 10 and 11. and the sub of Saturn, lord of 10 in 10.

(5)Rahu was exactly in trine (120 degree aspect) to its natal position. On 23-7-1962, when he was running Moon dasa, Jupiter Bhukti and Jupiter Anthra, he obtained promotion to a class I post. The transits at this were as follows:

Moon and Jupiter conjointly rule the 2nd cusp as the constellation and sub lords respectively. Otherwise they can have no connection by lordship or occupation to houses2,6,10 or 11. They are not in the constellation of planets owning or occupying houses 2,6, 10 or 11, but are situated in the constellation of kethu conjoined with lord of 6. Moon and Jupiter, however, occupy at birfh the sub ruled by Rahu in 11 as agent of Saturn, lord of 10 and 11.

Transit 1. The promotion came when Moon was transiting in the 12 house! If we go deeper and see the stellar position, we find Moon in the constellation of Mercury, lord of 6, and in the sub of Saturn,lord of 10 in 10. It is not simply the transit of planet in a favourable house that is important; what is more important is its transit in a favourable constellation. A planet in 11 denies but a planet in 8 or 12 gives favourable results. Why? Because of its favourable situation by constellation and sub.

2. Sun transited Saturn's constellation and Mercury's sub. Saturn, as already seen, is lord of 10 in 10, and Mercury is lord of 6. (Sun in kataka 6°-55' was sextile or 60° aspect, a harmonious aspect, to the cusp of the house, but at the same time in Opposition or 180° aspect, an inharmonious aspect, to the cusp 10t house and to Saturn at birth. Did the western system of aspects really work, and if so what meaning can be derived from a sextile aspect to the 6th cusp but an opposition, aspects to the 10m cusp? But, according to Krishnamurthi

196 Padhdhati, the explanation is tha1 the transit1ng Sun activated the part of the zodiac conjointly ruled by Saturn lord of 10, and Mercury, lord of 6.)

3 Here also Satum, lord of 10, was retrograde by transit, in the constellation of Moon, dasa lord, and sub of Guru, bhukti and anthra lord.

4. Mercury, lord of 6,was transiting in Mithuna, his own sign, in the constellation ruled by Jupiter, bhukti and anthra lord, and in the sub Moon, dasa lord

5 Jupiter, bhukti as well as anthra lord, was also retrograde by transit in the 11th house but in theconstellation of Rahu in 11 in the natal chart, and sub of Sun, constellation lord of 6 and 10 houses.

6. Rahu was transiting in the constellation of Satum, lord of 10 in 10 and the sub of Jupiter. bhukti and anthra lord.

The native secured a second promotion on Saturn day 30- 11-1968, when Moon was transiting in Revati nakshatra ruled by Mercury lord of 6 The transits during this time were as stated below :-

Transits

1. Dasa lord Moon was transiting in the 12th house (!) in the constellation of lord of 6 and sub of Rahu, significator or 10 and 11 houses. Incidentally, was also in trine exactly to the natal position of Sun.

2. Venus was transiting his own constellation and in the sub of Mercury, anthra lord, ruling 6 at birth.

3. Anthra lord Mercury was transiting in the 8th house (!) of the natal chart but in the constellation of Saturn, lord of 10 occupying also 10, and in the sub of Moon, dasa lord. 4. Rahu, sookshama lord was transiting in the constellation of Saturn, lord of 10 in 10, and in Rahu's sub,

5 Jupiter transited over the 6th cusp in the constellation and sub of Sun and Venus respectively and, incidentally, in trine to the radicial postion of Saturn.

6 Saturn was retrograde by transit as on the two earlier occasions and was in conjuction with Moon, dasa nlord, in trine to the radical Sun, Saturn, more significantly, transited the constellation of Mercury, lord of 6, and sub of Rahu in 11 in the co-natal chart and it may be borne in mind that Mercury ruled the anthra and Rahu the sookshama at this time.

The reversion came when the dasa of Moon, bhukti of Sun and anthra of Moon was in operation. The day was Monday 17- 2-1969. The transits at the time were as noted below.

Moon in the radical chart. is occupant of the 9 house, in the constellation of Kethu in 5, Sun is lord of 5 in the constellation of Mercury, lord of 6 in 5, and sub of Juptier, lord of 9 in 5. Sun and Moon have strong connections with the 5th and 9th house also. Transits

1 Transits Moon squared the position of Sun on 30-5-1957 and 30-11-1968, Moon, by transit, was in the 11" house in the constellation of Rahu who was in the 12h house by transit; Moon was also in 12 by transit. Transiting Sun was in Mars nakshatra but in Sun sub. The reversion came when the dasa bhukti and anthra lords were transiting labhasthana (!)

2 By transit, Saturn was in direct motion, but over the transiting positin of Mon on 23-7-1962,

3. Transiting Mercuy, lord of 6, was over the radical position of Saturn, in the constellation of Sun, lord of 5.

Whenever Saturn was transiting in retrogression, the native only had beneficial effects and when it was direct by transit he suffered! When the reversion came, Saturn was not ruling the period in any manner according to Vimoshottari dasa. How far is retrograde Saturn evil in this particular case? It is for readers to judge.

KRISHNAMURTI PADHDHATI 199

Will he regain his lost position? He is now running the dasa of Mars and bhukti of Saturn which commenced on 29-12-1971. The details of the anthras in this bhukti are as follows :-

Dasa Bhukti Anthra From To

Mars Saturn Saturn 29-12-1971 2-3-72 Mercury 2-3-1972 28-4-72 Ketu 28-4-1972 22-5-72 Venus 22-5-1972 28-7-72 Sun 28-7-172 18-8-72 Moon 18-8-1972 22-9-72 Mars 22-9-1972 15-10-72 Rahu 15-10-1972 15-12-72 Jupiter 15-12-1972 8-2-73 Mars, as seen from the table furnished before, is in the constellation of Rahu and sub of Saturn. Rahu in the natal chart is placed in 11 as the agent of Saturn, lord of 10 who turn is in the 10th house itself Saturn is lord of 10 in the 10n house very near the cusp. So the dasa and bhukti lords are favourable. The ruling planets at the time of judgment on 3-6-1972 also happen to be Saturn and Mars, the day being Saturday, the rasi being Kumbha owned by Saturn, the nakshatra being Dhanista ruled by Mars, and the lagna being Vrischika governed by Mars in Saturn's constellation Anuradha. Since Rahu is now transiting in Saturn's sign Makara and also aspected by Mars by the 81h aspect, this anthra is the most powerful. When Rahu anthra runs between 15-12-1972 and 15-12-1972, the matter shuld take a favourable turn In this period, when Saturn starts retrograding from 3-10-1972 and transits in Mars star and Rahu sub in Venus sign Rishaba, Mars transit in Thula in the nakshatra of Rahu and sub of Saturn, Mercury (lord of 6) transits in the sign owned by Mars in the constellation governed by Saturn and sub of Rahu, and Rahu transits in Dhanus in Venus constellation and in sextile aspect (60 degrees) to its radical position. The day will be Thursday the 23rd November 1972 when Moon transits in the sign of lord of 6 Budha and the constellation lorded by Rahu.

20C RETROGRADE PLANT This is the scientific explanation according to Krishnamurti Padhdhati On the other hand, What have our traditional astrologers to say?

One famous Astrological Correspondence Institute makes the following forecast with regard to the same horoscope :- ... Sani is in a state of retrogression and hence becomes highly malefic From the 10" Lord. Rahu occupies the 2nd house, commonly called maraca sthana or place or death. Instead of the native losing his job, he only suffered humiliation. The job is held intact since Sant is staying in his own house strongly ... The native is at present having Kuja dasa, Guru Bhukti. Guru Bhukti will be over by March 1971 Guru is in the 9t from Chandra lagna and 5" from Lagna. It occupies the 12h from the 6'h house having reference to litigations. From the 6h lord, Budha, he is in Kendra. From Chandra lagna Guru in the 9th. As such Guru is quite favorable for the native in this respect. However, we have to look to the gochara movements. Sani will be in Mesha till August 1970. After Sani leaves Mesha, things will take a favourable shape. We can say that the native will have his writ decided in his favour and will be posted back to his original position in March-April 1971. By about August 1970, the present reversion will be set aside"

Will our traditional friends point out a single clear-cut combination for reversion in service? Have they any basis to go by or are their predictions mere conjectured? What relevance has Karakasthana in relation to the present case? What is al this mumboo-jumboo?

"Krishnamurti Padhdhati", on the other hand offers clear, codified rules which go to help every one solve problems where in the ultimate analysis, is in the eating, and Astrology in India can hope to recover from the disease of stagnation that has been afflicting it only it decides to rid itself of the many fallacies and adopt, scientific theories arrived at affer proper investigation and research

RESEARCH STUDY Experiment and Success Retrograde Sat and his Main Dasa (in the tight of theory of Retrogradation)

The role of retrograde planets has already been discussed in the issue of Astrology and Athrishta in September 1978 It has been categorically emphasized that the retrograde planet or if it is posited in the star or sub or sub-sub of another retrograde planet in horary cannot completely slip away the matter One is to examine the retrograde planet in the following way.

1. Whether the retrograde planet is a significator or signifies the required bhava. It is immaterial if it is in another retrograde star or sub or sub-sub Result will be experienced when the retrograde star or sub or sub-sub planet will resume direct course

2 Result can also be experienced during retrograde course of a planet if it is found in the vicinity of the Sun or in the star lord of which will be also within the vicinity of the Sun. Result expected is favourable rf it is within 20° of the Sun but let us be optimist upto 30°

3 As regards Mercury and Venus, they are generally found within the vicinity of the Sun, specially in their retrograde course. Every year planets are once found in conjunct with the Sun but are not found in conjunct nature in their retrograde course except Mercury and Venus (Any ephemeris will speak this truth).

4. During retrograde course of Mercury and Venus, they may be found in conjunct with the Sun in any good/evil bhava but if they are disposed in the benefic sub or sub-sub, result will read as per desire.

202 RETROGRADE PLANT 5 Major planets like Saturn, Jupiter and Mars, if they are retrograde but disposed in the constellation of Sun or in the constellation of such planet who is near to the Sun and if he is beneficially disposed in the sub or sub-sub of a benefic house should read the result even during retrograde course. In this discussion, we will try to establish how did retrograde Saturn in his main dasa offer desirably result for a transfer. This experiment can convenier any one about the truth of Stellar Astrology and one may wonder how big and mighty it is! Next, in Sub-division, we have 249 subs in the zodiac. Before sub was discovered in 1951, our revered guruji Krishnmurtiji had been doing experiment with 108, based on 27 constellations and 4 padas i e. 27 x 4 = 108. But he was dissatisfied with this system by not having so much desirable results. He then thought of subs and numbers thus derived out of this process are 249

No body has given so much attention to sub-sub thought it is mighter than the familiar sub. We have already seen that sub-sub assures greater accuracy and we have established it to a great deal in the role of sub-sub So we have no objection if we split the sub into sub-sub. If we do so, numbers will be from 249 into 2193 in the zodiac chart. If one wants to go more deep into sub-sub-sub then numbers will be around 19,689. (In this connection, I have already prepared a table under caption "Table of sub-sub-sub". With the help of this table, the cuspal positions as well as planetary positions can be easily located within a fraction of a minute from sub to sub-sub-sub. Since sub-sub is sufficient, I have put the nos. (numbers) for sub and sub-sub only. Since numbers, in sub-sub-sub are gigantic, hence the idea to put numbers is dropped but sub-sub-sub are retained only with a view to locating planetary and cuspal positions for our purpose.

Hence the numbers in sub-su6 are 1 to 2193 But I do not ignore 249. Anybody who is already familiar with 249 can furnish number from 249 but as regards, cuspal and planetary positions, I go even upto sub-sub-sub. It is my personal choice but not compulsory for any K.P Follower .Hence choice is leff free to all. Let us benin our disc: ission

Analysis : The querent is only interested to go back to his H.Q. on transter are furnished number 301 out of 2193. 11th cusp is essential here to be included for this, along with the houses 3, 10 and 12. Ifthe sub-sub lord of 10 or 6 becomes the significator of 3 or 12 then transfer is promised. If sub-sub lord is connected with 5 or 9 or 7 then also transfer will be imminent.

One will instantly reject the prospect of this transfer after examining the planetary positions and the ruling planets at the time of judgment. But on experimental basis, I assured the man that his transfer might be effective in Ketu anthra from 12-1-77 to 4-3-77, specially when the Sun would be transiting the star of Dhanistha-Mars in the 9th cusp, in the middle part of Feb, 77. My expectation came true amidstthumping bewilderment. The man got the transter order on 5-2-77 and left the station for H.Q. on 18h Feb, 77, when the Sun transited on Dhanishta- Mars in the sub of Moon in the 9u cusp. Let us discuss how have we arrived at the conclusion.

KRISHNAMURTI PADHDHAT1 205 Retrograde planet in the star of Sun or in the star of such planet who is in the vicinity of Sun and in the favourable sub- sub is responsible for such bewitching result. Retrograde planet, or star, or sub or sub-sub is not the bar that can obstruct the result. Favourable disposition may bring desirable result even in retrograde course. Readers may give trail on thisand they may please send their findings to the esteemed editor for publication. Many hidden things may come out for our benefit.

Let us take retrograde planets first. They are Jupiter, Saturn and Mercury, Jupiter is in the star of Sun, the big luminary. Whether Jupiter is benefic or evil for transfer is a different question. Jupiter being in the star of the Sun has lost his retrograde power i.e. he is acting like a direct planet. Next Mercury is retrograde and he is in association with the Sun- within 16°, hence Mercury too has lost his retrograde power and will act like a direct planet. Whether Mercury is malefic or benefic, this does not arise at this moment. Now Saturn, the big major planet is also retrograde. Distance between Saturn and the sun is too far but Saturn is in the star of Mercury and Mercury is within the vicinity of Sun within 16°, hence Saturn too will be losing his retrograde power. Whether Saturn is favourable or not is to be scrutinized afterward. So retrograde or direct is not a vital issue. Now we will scrutinize the planets that signify the bhavas 3-10-11-12. Ketu and Moon : they are in the sub-sub of Mercury and Mercury is in the star of Sun at 7. Sun owner of 4 (residence) at 7 (frequent change), hence Ketu and Moon are good for transfer.

Jupiter, sun and Venus : theyare in the sub-sub of Venus and Venus is in the star of Mars at 7. Mars owner of 7 and 12 (different environment), hence Jupiter, Sun and Venus are good.

Saturn ; Saturn is in the sub-sub of Jupiter and Jupiter is in the star of Sun at 7, hence Saturn is good. Mars : he is in the sub-sub of Rahu and Rahu is in the star of its own and Rahu is at 5 (negation to daily attendance), hence good.

206 RETROGRADE PLANT Mercury . he is in the sub-sub of Saturn and Saturn is in the star of Mercury and Mercury is at 8 but in association with the Sun and Mars at the 7th bhava, hence good.

' Rahu : it is in the sub-sub of Sun and Sun is in the star of Venus at 9 (negation to profession), hence good.

Whether transfer is promised is to be examined first. Sub- sub lord of 10cusp is Rahu, We have earlier seen that Rahu has been found good hence transfer is imminent. Yet we can examine it in the usual way. Rahu is in the star of mars at 7. Mars owner of 12 aspects 11thand 3, hence transfer is sure. If we want to examine it by the 6" cusp then also it is promised. Sub-sub lord of 6 is Mars, lord of 7 and 12 at 7 is in the star of Ketu at 11 (desire), Ketu conjoins Jupiter at 12) different environment, hence transfer is promised. In quest of significators for 3, 10, 11 and 12. Saturn at 3, none at 10 Moon and kethu at 11 and Jupiter is at 12. Hence they are Saturn, Moon, Jupiter and Kethu and they are the significators for 3, 10, 11 and 12. In our earlier scrutiny, we see that Saturn. Moon, Jupiter and Kethu are found good and their stars or sub-sub is equally good and beneficial.

Let us see who may be the other significators.

1. Kethu is in the star of Kethu; and none is in the sub-sub of ketu.

2. None is on the star of Moon, and none is the sub-sub of Moon.

3. Moon is in the star of Saturn, and mercury is in the sub- sub of Saturn.

4. None is in the star of Jupiter, and Saturn is in the sub-sub of Jupiter.

The final significators are Kethu, Moon, Saturn, Jupiter and Mercury. Now if we take common from the RPS at the time of judgement, only Moon will be dropped. Now Kethu, Saturn, Mercury, Jupiter and Rahu will decide the issue. Saturn dasa,

KRISHNAMURTI PADHDHATI 207 Jupiter Bhukti and Mercury anthra (upto 11-1-77), Kethu anthra is from 12-1-77 to 4-3-77 Now Sun in transit, will pass through the stars Venus (Sun is already in the Venus) and Sun and they are not the significators. When Sun will passs through Venus star he will cover 27° in Dhanu. Mercury anthra will come to an end on 11-1-77. Hence Mercury anthra will not read the result We can now look to Kethu anthra, who is agent of both Mars and Jupiter Kethu anthra is from 12-1-77 to 4-3-77, Sun will be transiting in Dhanishta Mars star from 6fh of Feb., 77 to 19th of Feb, 77 and then onward in Rahu star upto 5-3-77. Transit of Sun in this zone in the 9th cusp appears to be favourable. It is expected that transfer may be effective during this period even though Saturn remains in retrograde motion whose main dasa is on.

My expectation came true and the man went on transfer to his H.Q. on 8.2.77 amidst utmost surprise when Sun transited in the star of Dhanista Mars and in the sub of Moon. Though Moon is not found common in the R.P.S. but ultimately she is in the star of Saturn who is a fruitful RP It is proved that any planet in the star of a RP is also a RP. Then why not the man did go when Sun transited in the star of Sravana-Moon? But it was a fact that the querent received the transfer order on 5h Feb, 77 when the Sun was in Moon star in the 91h cusp. It is a research study, and scholar may throw more light on this and their kind attention is invited for the development of the science.

Good Luck.

RETROGRADE PLANETS VIS-A-VIS MINOR EVENTS

More often than not, some of the astrologers discuss the charts which they have erected for finding out fructification of certain events irrespective of their nature - whether minor or major events in life - reject outright the planets that are Retrograde in motion. I have come across a few where even in case of minor events they reject retrograde planets while discussing and pitch up the very planet while offering prediction, as has happened, for example, in one article published in the Magazine, September issue.

Before writing anything further on this issue and giving my own experience, I would like to refer the readers to the Text Book on Horary Astrology by our Great Guruji, wherein on page No. 146, under the heading Ruling Planets' he clearly and categorically states that planets in retrograde motion if deposited in the constellation of a planet which is in direct motion indicate that after some obstacles and delay, the matter will materialize (underline mine), when It is in direct motion again and passes beyond the point where-from retrograde motion started.

What i make out from the above is that he never said that whenever you come across a Retrograde Planet among the Ruling Planets, it deserves outright rejection. You will have to find out first whether it is in the constellation and Sub of a retrograde planet. If so, it cannot give the results and hence to be rejected. If it happens to be in the constellation and Sub of planets in direct motion, it will definitely offer the results and the matter will materialize. But when? When the planet comes again into direct motion and passes the point wherefrom it started retrograde motion (correct K.S.K.)

KRISHNAMURTI PADHDHATI 209 In case of Minor events which would fructify in a day or two or even within a few hours of time, if anybody predicts that the matter will fructify when the planet comes into direct motion and passesthat point from where it started its retrograde course, I need not say how miserably the astrologer would fail. "As the planet still continues to be retrograde we should reject the same outright". If anybody says like this, his experience would itself open his eyes and tell him that by disregarding such planet he failed to arrive at the correct conclusion On the basis of my above reasoning I started working out some questions, predicting the events taking the Retrograde Planets also into consideration and in almost all cases where the Retrograde Planets are involved, my predictions have come correct, This is not any deviation from the principles of K P This, I feel, what just our Guruji has stated in his most popular work on Horary Astrology. (Statement is clearly and correctly stated-K.S K.). I, therefore, thought it is advisable to bring it to the notice of the readers of 'Astrology & Athrishta', one of my latest experiences, so that the readers, particularly those who have been out rightly rejecting Retrograde Planets also in judging the events-particularly the Minor Events It was on the 28" evening (28-8-1971) when I was going for evening walk with a friend Mr. Nageswara Rao, who is also a student of K.P., Mr.Rao reminded me of the fact that a common friend of ours. who is staying about 8 miles away from here, informed him that he would be coming to my place on Saturday evening. Therefore if we go out for walk as usual, he may come and finding none in the house think that these fellows have gone out even after their being informed well before. He, therefore, suggested that as it will not take much time, I should find out astrologically when this gentleman would come. Immediately 1 came inside my chambers and started working out the ruling planets as per K.P. The time then was exactly 6.00 P.M. The sidereal time was noted, the Raphael's tables were referred and found that the Lagna rising in the East for 23MO'N at that time was around 3" of Kumbha That means

210 RETROGRADE PLANT Saturn sign and Mars (R) star. Moon was then transiting in Saturn star and Mars (R) sign Scorpio, The day lord was also .Saturn. Therefore, the ruling planets were Saturn & Mars (R) As soon as I noted down these planets as Ruilng Planets, my friend Mr. Rao, said to himself, 'Mars' a Retrograde Planet - How can he offer the results? Then said to me, as the sky was cloudy and might rain anytime thereafter this gentleman may not come that day and come to us only on the Sunday morning. I reacted immediately and said that he would not come on a Sunday as Sun was not a ruling planet to which he also readily agreed.

The ruling planets are Saturn and Mars (R). Mars is conjoined with Rahu and aspects Ketu Therefore, Rahu and Ketu are also to contribute for the fructification of the event in question. That means, all these four planets conjointly operate when our common friend comes to us The combination of all the above four planets are found in the zodiac between 19°-13'-20" and 20°-00'-00" of Kumba; between 14-26'-40" and 15'13'20" of Kumbha and between 5°33'20" and 7'33'20" of Aries - Mesha and so on.

Experience shows that wherever Saturn is involved in offering results he offers the results after sufficient delay I. therefore, thought that he would not allow the gentleman to meet us so shortly when the Kumbha Lagna rises. In addition to that, Rahu is the storongest, being conjoined with one Ruling Planet and occupying the sign of another ruling planet. Therefore, it will be during Rahu sub only and that too in the Sub-Sub of Saturn i.e. 6°07'20" Aries (Nirayana). From the Table of Houses I calculated the time when that position would rise in the East and it comes to 9-16 P.M ((IST) Therefore, I told my friend Mr. Rao that he would come, only at 9-16 P.m. (IST). We went out for walk accordingly, and returned only after 7.30 p.m. It was then raining heavily. My friend therefore thought that the prediction would fail. But he did not tell me. I was trying to look calm and indifferent. But, still in my mind I was thinking of it alone and I had the confidence that the Retrograde Mars

KRISHNAMURTI PADHDHATI 211 and his agents Rahu and Ketu would not fail me.

Thereafter, we had our dinnertalking matters connected with housing problems. Then there was knock at my doors. The next moment the gentleman was in. It was sharp 9-16 p.m. My friend enquired from him how he could come in such rain; the gentleman gave his own explanation. That gentleman . who also knows traditional astrology was later informed about our prediction and the readers can well imagine his feelings at that moment.

In the meantime I thanked the Retrograde Mars for not letting me down. I bowed down my head and paid regards to my Guruji who has discovered such a system as K.P. which will never fail.

RETROGRESSION - AN ENIGMA

A retrograde planet had denied me the thunder when, in the initial days of my induction into Stellar Astrology I ventured a prediction which proved right, yet wrong. The event fructified as predicted whereas timing went berseck. Amateurs as well as adepts in the field cry in symphony that both Retrograde planets and Timing of events are but the two problems which perpectually stab the ego of Astrologers. In my article (April 1978 issue) I made a passing reference to my initial encounters in Astrology resulting in inevitable ups and downs and that the "Post-mortem" reviews are nevertheless rewarding Here is how I experience it. One of my friend, a first class graduate appeared for the selection of Scientific Assistants conducted by the Electronic Corporation of India Limited, Hyderabad, in March 1975 in which he fared hopefully well but did not get any communication till October, 1975, not even a regret letter Hear say information was that the selections were finalized and the candidates already informed. He was anxious to know the result since it was his first appointment. He came to me on 15-10-1975 and quoted No. 100 The chart was worked out on the same day at 1.00 p.m. strictly according to the principles laid down by our late guruji Sri. K.S. Krishnamuri.

Analysis: Moon, the unfailing indicator of the Querient's mind, is in 6t bhava, denoting about success in competitive Examination and Service, in the star of Mars in 10, the universally acclaimed house of profession. M.C. is in the sign of Venus, star of Mars and sub of Rahu. Rahu in libra is an agent of Venus, Thus M.C. is under the sway of Venus and Mars. Venus representing and Mars signifying machinery, it may be argued that MC represents Electronics Department. The chart thus tallies with the Query. The exchange of houses between Moon and Saturn causing Punarphoo explains the waxing and wanning of hopes and the delay

XI Cusp sub-lord, Mercury who is also the lord of XI house is in the star of Moon in 6 and sub of Saturn in 11 which indicates success after initial reverses because the sub-lord of XI Cusp is under the sway of planets causing punarphoo but both are connected with houses of success. The retrograde state Mercury; is interpreted to worsen the delay. The net result appeared to be that his name will be in the waiting list but surely he will be asked to join the concem at a later date. Astrological ly there is not one factor against his success and I re-assured him about it likewise the prediction proved correct.

So far, so good. The real somersaults started in timing the event, An event is known to fructify during the conjoint periods of significators. The signal point where K.P. diverts from Hindu System is in the process of selection of significators. I attempted at the selection of significators as follows ;

Significators of the houses concerned with the query : 2 - Sun, Ketu, Jupiter, Mercury 6- Mercury, Moon, Saturn. 10- Sun, Moon, Mars, Venus, Rahu, Ketu. Once 3 or 4 planets emerge out as the most powerful significators with the dasa of one of them concurrently running, out of reluctance of my mind, I refused to work furfher which is

KRISHNAMURTI PADHDHATI 215

not at all academic in nature. Mars whose Dasa was running is selected to bless the native with the job since it is situated in its own star in 10"h bhava. Venus was rejected since it is in 12 and in its own star and sub and thus powerfully signifying 121h bhava. Sun whose antara operated from 2-1 -76 to 8-5-76 was chosen as the most opportune period since Sun is in II bhava in the star of Mars discussed above Mercury was Retrograde from 15-1-76 to 4-2-76 and the period was eliminated effortlessly since Mercury is Retrograde in the chart. Retrogression of Mars in January made me to eliminate January 1976. Cautiously I predicted that he would receive orders in March or April 1976. Pat, came the order on 17-10-1975 when Mercury was still Retrograde

A word about Retrograde Mercury, Writers may note that draftings made while Mercury, the Karaka for writing, is Retrograde, the article has to be re-written. Auditors finalizing partnership deeds or Agreements made during the planet's retrogression get stuck up for one reason or other till the planet becomes Direct.

In the given case Mercury is not only the lord and sub lord of XI cusp but its interperiod was also running. The antara lord is Venus who was rejected since he is in 12. Review Venus as lord of 10 is in its own star and sub which factor weighs assertively for deciding the time of fructification of the event. During its sub-period the candidate was induced as a trainee since Rahu had to function better by Its placement in the sign of Venus. Libra. Aptly he was confirmed in the post in April, 1977 when the period running was Rahu dasa. Rahubhukthi and Rahu Anthara. This is a fact which is no more for discussion. How then, rahu in the star of Retrograde Jupiter could confirm him in the Job in its Bhukthi and Anthara, as a matter of controversy.

Can a Node act independent of its star lord or counteract the effects of star lord and acquire or usurp the capacities of the rasi lord? Or since nodes, though imaginary points, move always backwards the retrograde state of its star lord claiming

216 RETROGRADE PLANT exemption from the accepted principles of astrology. As pointed out by Sri Namachivayam in Feb. '79 issue in the article "Marriage and Behaviour of nodes" the behaviour of nodes is always puzzling in the interpretation of horoscopes. One persistent point to note is that Rahu is the sublord of X cusp which is open to all Readers for interpretation.

Editor's Review : Your friend is interested in only getting the results about his interviews eventhough it is worried about his service in his mind while opted through the constellation of Moon. But Moon at the time of judgement is posited in the sub of Venus, lord of 3 and 10 in 12 Bhava clearly indicates that he is mostly worried about the hearsay rumours of the interview and wanted to know about the communication. Here 3rd house falls in Venus sign, Thula Rasi Jupiter star Mercury sub. Mercury,Retrograde, in Kanni, its own in the star of Moon, and sub of Saturn in XI Bhava. III house falls in a movable sign and Mercury also is posited in the star of Moon a quick-moving planet. But Saturn, sublord of Mercury, is a slow-moving planet and also Saturn occupied Moon Rasi and Saturn, Moon have got parivarthana Yoga. Hence friend's ambition will be some what delayed in getting communication to his hearsay rumours.

On 17-10-1975 was Friday ruled by Venus. Moon was transiting in Jupiter star in Kumbha Rasi ruled by Saturn. Jupiter is in the star of Mercury and sub of Rahu in IlIrd bhava. When Moon transitted in Saturn sign Jupiter star Sun sub he got the communication for his hearsay rumours giving an apprentice appointment. His service was confirmed when Rahu Dasa Rahu Bhukthi Rahu anthara operated, Rahu being posited in the sub of Moon who has got partivarthana yoga with Satrun in XI Bhava and Moon herself; is in VI Bhava. -

Good Luck.

ROLE OF RETROGRADE JUPITER & HOROSCOPY (In the light of Advanced Stellar Astrology)

There are divergency in opinion about the effects of retrograde planets in a nativity among the traditional astrologers. Various rules are given in different astrological texts which are contradictory to each other. We shall discuss these rules one by one.

First of all we should know what is meant by retrogration of Planets? The movement of planet is always in forward direction. No planet actually moves in backward direction in the Zodiac. When observed from the earth due to the difference in speeds of the planets; their movement appears to be backward. This apparent backward motion is called 'retrogration'. It is caused by combined motion of a planet and the earth and their positions relative to the Sun.

Sun and Moon are never retrograde. Rahu and Ketu are always in retrograde motion. Saturn is retrograde for 140 days and stationary about 5 days before and after retrogration. Jupiter is retrograde for 120 days and stationary about 5 dyas before and after retrogration.

Mars is retrograde for 80 days and stationary 2 to 3 days before and after.

Venus is retrograde for 42 days and stationary 2 days before and after.

Mercury is retrograde for 24 days and is stationary one day before and after retrogration.

218 RETROGRADE PLANT The rules given in different classical astrological texts about the effects of retrograde planets are summerised below: "Uttarakalamritam" by Kalidasa, chapter Il, Verse 6: When a planet is retrograde in his motion, his strength is similar to that when in exaltation. If a planet is conjoined with a retrograde planet, his strength is increased, If a planet be retrograde in his motion while in his exaltation house, he gets only his neechabala. If a planet be retrograde while in his debilitation house, his strength is similar to that when in his exaltation. "Phaladeepika" by Mantreswara, chaper IV, verse 4: A planet is said to possess strength when he is retrograde of when his rays are full and brilliant though posited in depression or inimical rasi or amsa.

"Saravali", chapter V. verse 30: The benefics being strong with the strength of retrogration will bestow kingdom and malifics in retrogration will cause miseries and unnecessary travels. Llewellyn George in his "A to Z horoscope Maker and Delineater" writes: "We believe that the influence of benefic planet is weakened when they are retrograde. The condition of retrogration is contrary or inharmonious to be regular dissection of actual movement in the Zodiac and is in that respect will, hence when malefic planets are retrograde their malefic is increased".

Grace Inglis observes in her book "Retrograde Planets": "In our experience, we have observed that when a planet is in Retrogradation, it fails to give the result of the house or houses of which he is the lord or the significator." Our late Guruji K.S.Krishnamurti in his 'Horary Astrology" States: "In a natal chart, do not worry whether a planet is in direct motion or retrograde. There is no difference. Retrograde planets neither loses strength nor fhey are harmful." In this present article we are discussing the role of retrograde Jupiter in nativity with the theory of retrogration of planets.

220 RETROGRADE PLANT In the chart under study, Jupiter is posited in the 12th point. Any planet in the 12th point is very undesirable according to the traditional theory. But Jupiter here is exalted. So it gets some strength. Again it is retrograde also. Applying "Uttaara Kalamritam's rule Jupiter is malefic to this nativity. According to Llewellyn George and Grace Inglis, Jupiter is inauspicious. But as per rule of "Phaladeepika" and "Saravali" Jupiter becomes benefic by retrogration, So the above rules are contradictory and confusing. Now we shall apply stellar theory. A planet may be posited in any sign or in any house. If the planet is deposited in the constellation and sub of the significators of a particular matter under judgement then it is favourable for that particular matter only. A planet never loses its strength by retrogration. Practically retrogration in a natal chart is nothing.

Here in this case, Jupiter is not harmful by Mercury retrogration, Jupiter gets some power by exaltation. Although it is posited in the 12th house but deposited in the star of Mercury (lord of 11) and sub of Saturn (lord of 6). Jupiter aspects the 61h house by the 7* aspect. Sun (lord of 2) is aspected by Jupiter (9h aspect). So Jupiter is a strong significatior of houses 2, 6 and 11. 2nd house indicates money matters, fortune and profit. 6th house signifies service and favourable result in competition. Success in all undertakings, profit and incoming wealth are indicated by the 11th house.

The native got the employment in Venus dasa and Jupiter bhukti on 1$1 December 1977. Venus occupies 10h point. 10th house denotes appointment, profession, occupation/business. So Jupiter although retrograde at the time of birth yet it gave the native employment in its own bhukthi period. By transit Jupiterr was retrograde on 13 December 1977, But retrograde motion of Jupiter did not deny the happening. At that time Jupiter was transiting the 11point, in the sign of Merucy (lord of 11), in the star of Rahu and in the sub of Jupiter. Rahu is conjoined with Saturn (lord of 6) and aspectred the 10th point. The transit of Jupiter is favourable for employment.

KRISHNAMURTI PADHDHATI 221 The native's service was confirmed on 1s! Novermber 1978. when he was running Venus dasa and Jupiter bhukti. On 1s% Novermber 1978 Jupiter was in direct motion by transit. It is meaningless whether Jupiter is in direct or retrograde motion. By transit Jupiter was passing through the 12th point, in the sign of Moon, in the star of Saturn and in the sub of Rahu. Saturn (lord of 6) aspected the 10th house So the transit of Jupiter is harmonious.

In order to explain the role of retrograde Jupiter in a natal chart we are now analyzing the horoscope of our present Prime Minister, Sri Moraji Desai. His birth chart is given below- -

Asc.

Rahu Sun Jup. (R)

29-2-1896 Venus - Mars Ketu Mercury Moon

Saturn HI 26-20

Venus Dasa Balance: 2 yrs, 8 moths, 4 days.

In this chart Jupiter, lord of the 7th and 10h houses is posited in the 2nd house being exalted and in retrograde motion According to Grace Inglis "If Jupiter is in retrogradation, it is not a good factor in considering one's finance, progency, fate, reputation and gains generally, in addition if he happens to be

222 RETROGRADE PLANT the lord of the 7 and the 10th houses, his married lofe and working environments will not be homogenous." If this theory is valid then Sri Desai would not be able to obtain the Prime Minsitership, his married life would be unhappy, he would not acquire rank and position, name and fame, honour and prestige. But that is not the case. Retrograde and exalted Jupiter gave him Prime Ministership. happy married life, rank and position also. So retrograde Jupiter is not a bar in giving the desired results.

Sri Desai got the Prime Ministership at the age of B1. Now what is the cause of his delay in obtaining the Prime Ministership? It is due to the square aspect of Saturn on Jupiter. Saturn is a planet of delay and dejection Jupiter indicates rank, position and ministership Sri Desai was elected as Prime Minister of India on 24h March 1977. At that time he was undergoing Mercury dasa and Mercury bhukthi. Let us study whether Mercury is eligible for giving him that highest post. Mercury lord of 1 and 4 is in the 8th house. Although Mercury is in the 8th point yet it is conjoined with Venus, lord of 5 (ministership) and Mars, lord of 6 and 11 (victory in competition and success in undertakings). Mercury is aspected by Jupiter lord of 10 (rank, honour and post). So Mercury dasa is highly favourable for Sri Desai.

From the above analysis we may conclude that retrogration of planet in a natal chart is not a bar in giving the fruitful result if the planet concerned is favourable disposed by Star / Sub position and by aspect.

At the time of the judgement, the sublord of the 10m cusp should be Direct in movement duety signifying 10m or 11. or 6" or 1".

At this Juncture, t wish to reproduce below the clear findings of our late revered Guruji Sri K S.K. on this subject (see page 146 of Horary Astorlogy by Sri K.S K.), for the benefit of the students of K.P. "Retrograde Horary Chart"

KR1SHNAMURTI PADHDHATI 225 "In Horary Horoscope, planets in Retrograde motion if deposited in the constellation of a planet which is in Direct motion indicates that after some obstacle and delay, the matter will materialize, when it is in Direct motion, and passes beyond the point where from retrograde motion started."

"But planets in; Retrograde if deposited in the constellation of another retrograde planet or in its own, when retrograde promises only failure. Never success." In the above Horary chart, the sub-lord of the Xth cusp was Jupiter, stationed in the Xth bhavam. This position was very encouraging. The same Jupiter was deposited in the constellation of Saturn situated in the XIth, which was also very promising.

But, it was at the same time, very unhappy and discouraging to note that the above Saturn in the XIth, in whose constellation the deciding sub lord of the Xth cusp Jupiter was deposited, was in Retrograde motion. (up to 9-5-79). And so, it was final in my mind (in terms of K.S.K.'s findings above) that the mafter for which it was queried (ie continuance of ministership) was not promising and he would loose his status and very soon he would hear, as the sublord of the XIth cusp Sun was found deposited in Aries, a movable sign. The above result was concreted for the fact that the Xth cusp sublord Sun, was in the Vilth having no planet in its stars and thus becomes a full significator of the VlIth and this position is not a supporting factor for the happy result of the matter now queried. I am never in the habit of telling out anybody any result that were to be very unpleasant or unhappy or that gives a stricking effect on the mind of the consultant.

So I just told him. that he would be in befter status after 9-5- 79, when Saturn becomes Direct; and i come away, again on the night of 7-5-79 I was sent for, by the same V.I.P. and the same query was repeated, duly giving the No. 139.

Mars Mercury Saturn Mercury Kethu Venus [Jupiter Saturn Venus Saturn(R) Venus Venus Venus Mercury Mars Rahu Venus Jupiter Kethu Jupiter Jupiter In this chart, the readers may note that the sub lord of the Xth cusp is Kethu.

Kethu is situated in the Vth bhavam in the constellation of Jupiter, a depositer of IXth bhavam. This position clearly and unambiguously indicated that the matter queried is a flat failure. To confirm the same, I looked into the sublord of the XIth cusp. It was Jupiter, stationed in the IX (in Cancer, a moveable sign), in the constellation of Saturn in the X, but Retrograde. This added to my conviction that the matter is a complete failure, then itself.

So I tried, to console him by telling that the shuffling of cabinet would be postponed to 91h May.

On this, he laughed, and shown me a telegram received by then, asking him to resign; and remarked that I am a failure in my prediction. I was not at all worried on his remark as above, on the contrary I was very happy inwardly to find that K.P. is so prefect in revealing the correct position of the event. I came away telling him politely that I am not in the habit of giving out unpleasant and unhappy prodictions For the information of the readers, I give below the Natal Chart of this V.t.P., duly worked out under K.P lines, wherein you will note that the above fall in status is well portrayed; the same is dicussed hereunder :-

Ketu is in its own star Aswini in the VIII bhavam, in the sub of Venus signifying fully the VIlIth house. Venus owns Illrd and Xth cusps. So Ketu gets feeble signification of Illrd only as Xth is tenented by Sun and Mars.

Ketu being a node, represents Mars alsowho is a full significator of Xth.

Hence summing up, Ketu is full significator of VIlIth and feeble significator of Xth and Illrd.

VIlIth tells the end of the present political status and Xth denotes his continuity in political life.

With the result, the ketu bukthi had ended his present status and its Xth house signification will continue him in political life with out any major portfolios.

Ketu bukthi ends by April 1980 and the major period of Sun starts on 2-4-1980 to run for 6 years.

230 RETROGRADE PLANT Sun is stationed in the Xth bhavam. No planets are found to have tenented Sun's stars Uthiram, Uthiradam and Krithigai. This gives this planets the full signification of Xth bhavam. (HouseO

Xth house tells about 1) Position in Government. 2) Honours and stauts 3) Credit and standing, 4)The King 5)The head of state 6) The sphere of influence exerted by the individual.

Further the above Sun in deposited in the constellation of Mars situated in the Xth bhavam in its own star mrigaseersham; and added to that sun owns Lagna cusp, and Mars IXth cusp. Sun is in the sub of Rahu, stationed in Libra in the lInd bhavam deposited in the star of Mars signifying Xth.

Summing up, Sun signifies 1,1I,III, IX, and X. Fortuna is formed in Virgo 27° 22' in the star of Mars signifying Xth and represents Mercury in XIth being in Virgo. So Fortuna promises political success of recognition. The Longitudinal distance between Sun, the dasa and Fortuna is 122° which is a very luckiest kind of aspect (western), will bring maximum return with a minimum of effort in his political life, as Fortuna is imbibed with such matters, as explained above.

All these combinations go a long way to say that this native, with the advent of Sun's major period in its own bukthi and Anthra of Rahu, wil again emerge as a powertul politician and will be fortunate to hold No. 1 status in the A. P. politics, and continue to enjoy such status up to the end of Jupiter bukthi of Sun's major period. The above two Horary charts have thus proved of what is said by Jothish Visharad Ganapathi on page No:42 of A & A of March 73 issue.

"K.P. is this a genuine attempt to rid science of Astrology of its many fallacies and adopt the correct line of approach."

In Horary Astrology interpreted according to the principles outlined in Krishnamurti Padhdhati, a planet deposited in the constellation of retrograde planet does not denote favourable results, while a retrograde planet deposited in the constellation of a planet direct in course will deny favourable results till it changes its motion. The same rule does not hold good in respect of a radical chart (birth horoscope). Many prominent personalities rise to the zenith of their career and many others enjoy prosperity during the period of retrograde planets.

As a devoted student of Krishnamurtiji's method and ever eager to verify the authenticity of certain doubtful and debatable propositions, I had an occasion to verity the above statement regarding retrograde Saturn. In my birth chart, Saturn is retrograde and, incidentally, its main dasa is operating at the moment. Although I did not experience any benefinical results during its dasa due to its signification according to my chart, yet I found it to offer its results instalments and with a delay and only partly and never in full. The narration below would reflect upon an important astrological deduction.

Inthe second week of Novermber 1971, I received a cheque for a few thousands of rupees as refund on the Delhi Treasury from a Government office. Consequently, 1 deposited the cheque in my bank account and the bank sent the same to the treasury for collection. But when the cheque could not be cashed for about two weeks, I became apprehensive if something had gone wrong. Suddenly, it struck my mind that I was running the main dasa of a retrograde planet, Saturn, a planet of delay, and that at that moment it was also retrograde in transit. Although it was clear to me that I cannot draw the money till it turned direct in motion, yet I made all possible efforts to realize the payment as expeditiously as possible, but in vain. The cheque was repeatedly returned to the bank for completion of certain 'left over' formalities

232 RETROGRADE PLANT and its payment could not he drawn till the 4h February 1972 when Saturn became direct in course

As I was busy with certain guests that usually invade the residents of Delhi during the Republic Day celebrations, I could not contact my bankers directly till the 29th Janurary 1972. On the 29" January when I got in touch with them, I was told that the payment had not been received till then I felt completely frustrated, all possible endeavours and efforts on my part to realize the payment having proved fruitless. 1 remained away from Delhi from the 29h January 1972 and I could contact the bank again only on the 4th February 1972 On that day, the clerk in the cash branch of the bank dealing with the treasury receipts told me that the payment had been received on the 24" January but somehow in the ledger the amount could not be credited to my account. On my persuasion, immediate efforts were made to trace the payment and it was discovered that the amount was wrongly credited to some other person's account. As such, a transfer entry was made and I could draw upon the sum only at 1-35 p.m. on 4-2-1972!

It would appear that Saturn remained retrograde till 31-1- 1972 and remained stationary thereafter on 36 degrees 13 minutes position and it was only on 4-2-1972 that it actually began to move direct in course and reached a position 36 degrees 14 minutes. The fact remained that the payment was denied to me though it actually reached the bank on 24-1-1972. the reason for which is obvious. Retrograde Saturn did not allow it to happen till it took a direct course.

This instance warns us that although a retrograde planet in the radical chart does not deny, whatever it portrays, in its dasa or bhukti or anthra period, it only contributes to frustrating attempts and delays whenever it is retrograde by transit. At the same time, it does not deny favourable results when it transits in direct motion. This is amply demonstrated here.

Fellow scholars may like to throw light on this point based on their experience, supporting their findings with the aid of clear and unambiguous data, the complete horoscope, transits, etc.

RETROGRADE PLANET When My Daughter will arrive? K.P.Explains

A lady friend of my wife living in my lane is a frequent visitor to my house. On 13-4-86 she came to my house and she and my wife began their chatting for a long time in the kitchen room, When she was about to start for home she came to me and began "Sir, my grand child has been ailjng with small-pox for the past 5 days. I have sent a word to my daughter who is living in Pothanur to come and see the ailing child Now 3 days had gone. She has not turned out till today ! am eagerly waiting for her. You are telling Jothidam for all. Can't you tell me when my daughter will arrive?" I said, "by all means, please sit I will tell you. You please mention a number in between I and 249. She mentioed a number-104. She and my wife began their usual chatting about my neighbouring family petty quarrels in the adjoining room. In the mean time I erected the chart for the number-104. The chart is as given below.

Analysis First we should see whether one will come and meet the querent For that we should take the 4th cusp sub from the sign of the expected person. If the sub signifies 3rd house from the sign of the expected person. and also it should signify the

KRISHNAMURTI PADHDHATI 235 3,5,7 or 9 and 11. the querent will expect tne arrival of the expected person.

Here 5th sign is taken, because it referrs to her daughter. 5th sign is Dhanusu. The 4th from the 5th sign is in Meenam. It is Jupiter sign Mercury sign Mercury star, Saturn sub (29 2). Saturn signifies 3 and 11th houses to the daughter as it is in its own star. The saturn is in the 3rd house and posited in the sub of Jupiter who is the significator of 5th house and also karaka of Puthra. So the daughter of the querent will come definitely. If the sub lord is retrograde or it is posited in the constellation of retrograde planet the matter will not materialize. It is correct to certain extent. Anyhow if the sub lord is retrograde or it is in the constellation of the retrograde planet we should see the signification of the sub lord and if it signifies the houses brilliantly for which it is needed the matter will materialize. But it will make delay only.

Suppose the sub lord and its constellation are the same planet we should see the planet in which sub it is posited. If that sub is also retrograde or it is in the constellation of the planet which is retrograde, the matter will not at all materialize

In this chart 8th sub which is 4th sub to the daughter is Saturn. It is retrograde and it is in its own star. Here both the sub and its constellation are same. Saturn is in Jupiter sub. Jupiter is not retrograde So there is no doubt that she will come, since the sub is Saturn it will make delay. Delay means it will take more time than the expected time limit.

That too depends upon the matter and the course of the happening. Here the daughter is informed that the child is ailing with small-pox So she will come late because of Saturn. So one can infer that the delay may be some days but not months together. The Astrologer must have some common sense also

Next we should see when she will come and meet her mother We take the houses 3.5,7.9 and 11. The house 3rd denotes meeting her daughter, 5th house denotes daughter, 7th house which is 3rd to 5th denotes the daughter's moving,

236 RETROGRADE PLANT 9th house denotes the grand child you know 5th to 5th, 11th house denotes fullfilment of the querent. Then we consider the Siynificators for the said houses.

3rd house - Saturn, Venus, and Kethu 5th house - Jupiter, Merucury 7th house - Mercury, Sun, Saturn 9th house - Mars, Rahu, Moon 11th house - Mercury, Sun.

So all the nine planets have come as significators. The K.P. followers here I mean the beginners are confused to ascertain which planets for the transit depends on the nature of the query and the manner of the accomplishment. In this query I explain how to approach the matter and select the planets for transit.

As seen above, all the nine planets have come as significators We should select the strongest of all. Here the daughter should move from her residence. The 3rd significator from the daughter's Lagna (that is 7th to 5th) will be considered first and foremost. We know 7th house is 3rd to the daughter's Lagna,

Merucury, Sun, and Saturn are the significators of 3rd house. Among the three which is the best should be judged. Here Sun signifies the 3rd house to the daughter since it is in the star of Mercury. But it is in the sub of Saturn which is retrograde. So we need not consider the sun for transit. Next Saturn which is also retrograde and it is in its own star. So we omit Saturn also. Then we take Mercury for assessment. Mercury is posited in 3rd house to daughter's Lagna. There is no other planet except Mercury suitable for the 3rd house, Here we can assume that she will come in few days. So we take the Moon transit Moon must come to the star Mercury. At the time of Judgement Moon if in Taurus sign in Moon's star. The Moon will move and be in 2 1/4 days Mithuna Rasi There is no .Mercury star in that sign There are Mirugasira, Thiruvathirai, Punarpusam stars. Their planets are Mars, Rahu, Jupiter. These planets are not the significators of 3rd house to the daughter (7th is 3rd to 5th). Though Mercury beocmes the owner of the sign Mithunam. It is

KRISHNAMURTI PAOHOHATI 207

not able to give the expected result.

Next follows Moon sign (Katagam). In that sign Mercury star Ayilyam is there. Now we have chosen the Moon sign Mercury star in Cancer. Next we should consider the other significators and the Ruling planets. In giving result there is difference between while a palnet comes as sign lord, and while a planet comes as a star lord. Sign lord is weaker than star lord in giving result. Sign is an area comprising three stars. The sign lord my join with any of the three stars according to the matter So selecting the star is very important. In this context we have selected Mercury star in Moon sign. Moon has come in the Ruling planet as well as the 9th significator because it is posited in 9th significator because it is postited in 9th bhava to the querent. This position will be on 18-4-86 at 5.12 p.m Ayilyam star will begin at 5 12 p.m onwards and it will be on 19-4-86 also. Here we should consider the Moon's sub, Lagna star, and its sub, and Ruling planets at the time of judgement. The moment when they conjoin the matter will materialize.

On 18-4-86 at 5.12 p.m onwards Lagna will move in the Rasi Kanni and Thulam. Here we see the Ruling planets at the time of judgement and the time of fructifications.

At the time of judgement. Sun - Day lord Venus - Rasi lord Moon - Star lord Rahu - Moon's sub lord Venus - Lagna lord Moon - Lagna star lord Venus - Lagna sub lord

Alt the time of fructification

Venus - Day lord Moon - Rasi lord Mercury - Star lord Mercury - Moon's sub lord

238 RETROGRADE PLANT

Venus - Lagna lord Rahu - Lagna star lord Mercury - Lagna sub lord

In the Kanni Rasi when lagna moves, Ruling planet will not agree. When the Lagna moves to Thulam the Ruling planet will agree At the time of judgement Venus is in the Rahu sub and it conjoins with Rahu.

So we conclude that when Lagna move in Venus sign and Rahu star it will materialize. So I boldly declared that the daughter of my wife's friend would come in the evening at 7.10 p.m. on 18-4-86. She was reluctant to accept my prediction since she was expecting the arrival of her daughter earlier. She said that she would wait and see and went a way.

On 18-4-86 at 8.00 p m. She came with her daughter and told me that my prediction was correct. At that time I thanked Jothida Mannan Jothida Marthand Prof .. K.S. Krishna Murthi for having given the clue to predict the matter with the help of Ruling planets.

Good Luck

RETROGRADE SUB-LORD OF ASCENDANT AND LAST JOURNEY

Having heard on 29th November, 1974, that one of the directors, an aged gentleman, of the Company in which I was employed, was admitted to a nursing home, I had an urge to know for myself what the planets had in store. All the same, having myself become an adherent of "Krishnamurti Padhdhathi" only since last year, I was in two minds whether I could venture a prediction with the poor knowledge and experience I had. However, opening a book, I noted No 79 at 10.05 a.m. (IST) on 1st December, 1974, at Madras, in the absence of birth data.

Is the chart radical? If the Moon's disposition indicates the matter quesited, the chart can be taken to be radical to give an accurate picture, if properly judged and judiciously interpreted. The Moon is posited in the rnaraka stana and is in the same sign as Saturn, badhaka stanadipathi. Moon is stationed in the constellation of Mars in the 7th house (another rnaraka stana) as lord of 1 and 8 is being made and 8th house is ayush stana as well as danger) in the sub of Sun in 8. As such, the Moon clearly indicates the nature of the query and so the chart can be expected to reveal the true state of affairs and prognosis.

First of all, find out whether short, medium or long life is promosed. A simple method is to ascertain the disposition of the sub-lord of the ascendant, who is the deciding factor. If the sub-lord is the significator of badhaka or rnaraka stanas or of the houses 6, 8 or 12 life is short from the date on which the subject matter is examined from the horary chart. If the sub- lord is a significator of houses 1, 5, 9 or 10, he promises long life A caution is necessary here As 9th house will be the badhaka stana for sthira lagnas, the sub-lord of lagna signifying

KRISHNAMURTI PADHDHATI 241 ninth house will only portend short life. If the sub-lord is a significator of both benefic and malefic houses, life is medium. Again, the eighth and third houses are houses of longevity. If they are weak by the occupation of the significators of rnaraka or badhaka stanas, and if their lord itself is a significator of death or these houses are aspected by these significators, life is short. For chara lagnas, the 11 th house is badhaka stana; for sthira lagnas, the 9th and for ubhaya lagnas, the 7th are badhaka stanas. Houses 2 and 7 are rnaraka stanas for all lagnas and the 12th houese is moksha stana. Now, let us first examine the sub-lord of the ascendant. He is Saturn, ayush karaka and badhaka stanadhipathi, in retrograde motion. He is posited in the 3rd house, house of longevity. He has a dual role to play, as ayush karaka and as badhaka stanadipati. When dealting with "Karako bhava nasaya" it is said that if the karaka planet is in the kara bhava, if he is in the constellation of a benefic, he will give beneficial results; but if he is in the constellation of a malefic, he will do only evil. This Saturn being badhaka stanadhipathi, is in the constellation of Jupiter, lord of 9 and 12 in 10. As far as longevity is concerned, 9th house shows long journey, 10th house shows retirement from this world and 12the house is vraya to lagna bhava. Thus the constellation position of Saturn is evil. Saturn is in the sub of Mercury who is in the constellation of badhaka standhipathi and Mercury is also lord of six. This disposition of Saturn shows imminent fatality.

The sign and constellation lords on the cusp of the ascendant are Mars and Venus. Sign lord Mars is in the 7th house (rnaraka stana) in the constellation of Jupiter, lord of 9 and 12 in 10. Venus is posited in the 8th house in the constellation of Mercury, lord of 3 and 6 in 8. The position of Mars and Venus is also not favourable. Even if they signify beneficial houses, as the sub- lord of the ascendant is evil, he will prevail over Mars and Venus, as the sub-lord is the strongest force. Thus, short journey, illness, danger, hospitalisation, long journey, rnaraka. retirement

242 RETROGRADE PLANT

from this world and moksha are ail indicated Can there be a better picture indicating the immient fatality? However, in the face of all these as the sub-lord of the ascendant, Saturn, was retrograde, I was compelled to believe that the untoward event might not happen till such time as Saturn resumed direct motion. but it proved otherwise

Significators Apart from the positional strength of the significators and their stai lords, the signifactors are stronger to cause death in the following order

1. The planets in the constellation of the occupants of badhaka stana are the strongest evils, next the occupants, then the planets in the constellation of badhaka stanadhipathi and then its lord are evil Planets conjoined with them or aspected by them acquire unfavourable effects.

2. Next in order are the planets in the constellation of the occupants of rnaraka stanas, the occupants, planets in the constellation of the lords of rnaraka stanas, and lastly the lords of rnaraka stanas.

In addition to the above, a Node is also included if it occupies any of the signs of the significators. The planets in the constellation of the Node are also to be considered.

When a majority of the planets is in the constellation of the same star, even a planet in the constellation of markaa standhipathi, if on the sub of other significators of death, is definitely eveil.

The eighth house is the house of longevity. Planets in the constellation of evil planets in 8, except Saturn, occupants of the 8th, planets in the constellation of lord of 8th, the lord of 8th and planets in any manner connected with them threaten danger to life, show the cause of death and the place of death. If the chart shows long life, the evil aspect formed to the 8th house or the planets connected with it by progression or transit,

KRISHNAMURTI PADHDHATI 243 when the native is in youth, will not bring about death. It may be ill-health setting in temporarily.

11th House Unoccupied . Sun and Mercury are .. in the constellation of Saturn, badhaka stanadipathi. 2nd house Occupied by Moon; Kethu is in the constellation; no planet in the constellation of Venus, lord of 2 and 7 7th house Occupied by Mars; the Moon is in his constellation. Rahu is in scorpio and Kethu is in Taurus. So, include them; Jupiter is in the constellation of Rahu and there is no planet Kethu's star. The significators are : Mercury, Sun, Saturn, Kethu, Moon, Venus; Mars, Rahu, Kethu and Jupiter. If the sub-lord of the significators is a significator of the matter under consideration by constellation and the sub-sub lord is stationed in the relevant house, those planets will be fruitful. In this case, the subs of the significators are evil and the sub- subs are not any better.

Ruling planets Lord of the day Sunday Sun Lord of the Moon sign (Gemnini) Mercury Long of Moon's constellation Mrigasira Mars Lord of lagna (Capricorn) Saturn Lord of lagna constellation U. Shada Sun As Sun and Mercury are conjoined with Rahu, Rahu will appropriate the powers of these two planets. Kethu in Taurus will act as the agent of Mars. Moon being in the same sign as Saturn, badhaka stanadhipathi, will acquire more maleficience and will also become the ruling planet.

244 RETROGRADE PLANT Death occurred at 10.00 p.m. on Sunday, the 8th December, 1974, when, according to the horary chart, Kuja dasa, Chandra bhukti, Chandra Anthra, Rahu Sookshma was in progress. The dasanatha, Mars, is lagnadhipathi. Why should he kilt? Apart from his being lord of lagna, he is also lord of 8 and is placed in the 7th, rnaraka stana. Occupation is stronger than lordship. Therefore Mars is stronger as a rnaraka. He is in the constellation of Jupiter, lord of 12 in 10 As 10th house is retirement from this world and 12th house is negation to the 1s! house, they are not auspicious when considering longevity. Mars is in the sub of Moon, and Moon has become a potent evil. That is why Mars dasa itself saw the end of life. A planet on the sub of lagnadhipathi, it is stated, will not cause death normally. But such a configuration is not present. The bhukthi and anthranatha, the Moon, is evil. The Sookshma lord Rahu, acquires malficience by Sun being in conjunction and Mercury being conjoined with him. The sookshma lord can cause death, if he is connected to the relevant house by occupation or lordship. Rahu does not own any sign, but he is in the 8th house. He gives the results of the planets which are conjoined with him. He is conjoined with Sun and Mercury who are the strongest significators for death. The result is clear.

The lagna rising at the time of death was in the constellation of Mercury in Cancer, the date was the 8th and the week-day Sunday. Even though, among the ruling planets, Saturn was retrograde, and Mercury was in the constellation and sub of retrograde Saturn, their influence has been brought out. Retrogradation seems to be of little consequence, if the planet concerned is a strong significator, as has been pointed out some months back in "Astrology & Athrishta". Transit on 8-12-74
