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