CHAPTER 1PRASNA AND ITS UTILITY

Prasna is a very important part of astrology and is verl' use-fuI. In some cases, onlythe prasna astrology is helpful. The Prasnameans rvhen we reply a question based on the horoscope preparedfor the date and time when a querent has approached for astrolqgi-cal help. Generally, the prasna is madc when the querent does nothave a birth horoscope. It is very important that whenever a querenthas approached for the first time, the time and date are noted. Theplace would be the location of the astrologer. ln case of a tele-phonic or an e-mail query the place remains as the location ofthequerent

For the researchers and advance learners noting downthe time of the first query is helpful in timing of events andrectification of the birth charts. Even the astrological reme-dial measures prescribed according to the ascendant of theprasna have proved to be helpful in majority of the cases, wher-ever a response was available.

The study ofprasna is very useful: -

When the querent or the person about whom the prasna isbeing made does not have a birth chart.

-To ascertain the ascendant when the ascendant is either inthe ending degrees or the beginning of a new sign. In such cases,the ascendant rising in the prasna generally matches with theascendant ofthe birth chart. The correctness of the ascendant ofthe birth chart is very important to figure out the true functionalnature of the planets in a particular nativity. Not only the func-tional natrre of planets plays a key role in the analysis of a chart

but also it is necessary for prescribing the astrological remedialmeasures.

- To time return of missing persons.

- To time recovery of patients.

- To predict recovery of stolen or misplaced items.

- To predict solemnisation of marriagc. ,

- To predict success of ncw vetrturos.

The only requircment for the success of the prasna astrologvis that thc quercnt approaches the astrologer without an1, appo'n,-ment for the sole purposc of a query. If a telephonic call is madeto fix up an appointment, then the time of the telephone call isnoted for the prasna while the actual meeting for the consultationmay take place at the appointed time.

Sometimes, it so happens when a person is introduced to anastrologer, the former immediately puts a question. Such a ques-tion should ahvays be replied according to the birth chart of thequerent. In case the querent does not have a birth chart. then he/shc should be asked to contact the astrologer after a rveek or tenda1's rvithout fixing an appointment. If the astrologer is not avail-able at the tlme of the approach made by the querent. then the timeofapproach should be noted and should be used for preparation ofa birth cliart. The prasna chart is prepared in firll for identifuingthe strength of the planets and working out the planetary periodsfor timing the events. The events are timed rvith the help of theoperating planetary periods and the transit influences, both forma-tive and separative.

Even at the cost of some repetition, the essential predictivetechniques of the Systems' Approach have been mcntioned in thisbook so that the case studies included in this book are properlyunderstood by the readers without referring to other books oftheSystems' Approach.

Prasna brings out the main question(s) of the querent basedon the conjunctions, aspects, placements and the operating plan-

If the lord of the seventh house isaft-lictcd. the qucstion ma1' pertain to spouse or marital affairs orforeign visit or foreign stal . All the conjunctions. aspects. place-ments and the operating planctary periods are to be studied u,ithreference to the ascendant and not treating the house pertaining tothe relation about rvhom the question is madc as al1 ascendant forrepl-ving the question. For example, if onc rvants to know about thespouse then the influences on the seventh house are consideredand the seventh house is not trcated as the ascendant ofthe spouse.This is further elaborated in the case studies included in thebook.

CHAPTER 2

CONCEPTSMajor Constituents of the System of Astrology

The divine science of astrology has four major constituents,that are signs, houses, planets'and the planetary periods. It will bein the fitness of things if the four constituents of the system arebriefly discussed for developing the understanding for learning theHindu system of astrology.

A. SIGNS

The first constituent of the system is signs. They are twelvein number and are ruled by the planets indicated against each ofthem:--

Concepts

You u'ill observe that the planets Mars, Venus, Mercury- Ju-piter and Satum rule over trvo signs. These planets have specialattention to one of their signs and this sign is known as theirrnooltrikona sign. The signs Aries, Virgo, Libra, Sagittarius andAquarius are the mooltrikona sign of the planets Mars, Mercury,Venus, Jupiter and Saturn, respectively.

The signs possess the positive and negative aspects oftheirlords according to their nature and according to the strength of ,their lords. The most important qualrty is that they lead us to inferthe extent of fructifications of the significations of a particularhouse. For example, if the sign Libra falls in a house and its lordVenus is in full strength. the significations of the house in particu-lar will flourish to a very affluent level of the society in which aparticular native (person) is living. The significations of the signshave been detailed in Chapter 3.

B. HOUSES

The second constituent ofthe System is houses. The housesare tr;velve in number and each of the trvelve houses of the horo-scope deals with specific significations. The significations of thehouses fructify under the planetary periods connected with them.The significations of the houses have been detailed in Chapter 4.The houses are good and bad. The sixth, eighth and twelfth housesare known as bad (malefic) houses as these rule diseases, obstruc-tions and losses, respectively.

C. PLANETS

The third constituent of the S1,51sm is planets. In Hindu as-trology, we consider the Sun, the Moon, Mars. Mercury, Jupiter.Venus, Saturn, Rahu and Ketu as planets. While the Sun and theN{oon are the luminaries, Rahu and Ketu are the shadowy planets.As the planets Pluto, Neptune and Uranus neither have a lord-ship over a house nor have a planetary period of their own,they can in no way be considered in the predictive astrology.

The planets signifi'various things including the specific bodyparts and the functional s1'stem of health. For example, the Sun

'{I6 Application of Prasna Astrologv

rulcs hcart. digestive system and vitality. The Moon rules the lungs,fluids in body, lymphatic system. etc. The significations of theplanets have been detailed in Chapter 5.

The planets attain benefic or malefic functional nature in anativity (horoscope) based on the lordship of benefic or rnalefichouses. The planets may be weak or strong. The functional maleficplanets when influencing other planets or houses cause afflictionsto them.

The planets, r,r,hen placed in a particular sign, are consideredas exalted/debilitated. In their signs of exaltation the planets be-come strong while in their signs of debilitation the planets becomeweak. The planets become exalted or debilitated in the signs men-tioned against each:

HOW TO ANALYSE CHARACTERTSTICS

The placr:ment of a significator in a mgveable sign makes aperson dynan ic in nature. The placement of a significator in afixed sign makes a person less flexible in approach. The place-ment of a significator in a common sign makes a person of adjust-able nature.

, The placement of the significator in a fruitful signindicates early gains while the placement of the significatorin a semi-fruitful sign indicates slow gains. The placementof a significator in a barren sign indicates gains after lot ofefforts.I

, Th. airy element makes a person thinker, creative and spiri-tualist while an earthy element makes a person pleasure-seeker

,and he is persistently engulfed in materialistic pursuits. The waterelement makes the person ease-lover and keeps him fully involvedin worldly attachments.

The positive element shows greater chance of success. Thehuman element makes the approach of a person humanistic in lifeand he is generous, helpful and respectful to others.

Aries. Taurus. Cancer. Sagittarius and Capricorn are signs

that rise rvith their hind parls first. If a significator planet is placed

in these signs and is an indicator of tin-ring the event. it r'vill cause

Leo. Virgo. Libra, Scorpio. Gernini and Aquarius signs rise

with their head first and indicate that normal time rvould be taken

for the fructification of an event.

Ubhyodaya Signs

Pisces rises with both sides. The events are timed with the

help of the strength of tl-re planet in question and the placemeflt of

the planet in the srgn Pisces does not make a difference.

Reptile Signs

Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces are knoun as reptile signs.

Directions of the Signs

Aries, Leo and Sagittarius rule the east direction. Taurus'

Virgo and Capricorn rule the south direction. Gemini, Libra and

Aquarius rule the rvest direction.. Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces rule

NOMENCLATURE OF HOUSES

ANGULAR (KENDRA) HOUSES

' '

The first, fourth, seventh and tenth houses are callcd angular

houses or kendra houses.

Trines (Trikona houses)

The fifth and ninth houses are called trines or trikona houses.

First house is also considered as a trinc.

Signitications of Houses l7

Malefic or dusthana houses

The sixth, eighth and trvelfth houses are called malefic houses

or dusthana houses.

Benelic houses

All houses, other than the malefic houses, are treated as

benefic or auspicious houses under the Systenis' Approach.

Extent of Houses

Under thc Systems' Approach the extent of each house is 30

degre a-lr-s"d on the basis oi

p'I5Gifr6nt of the planets in a particular house. Their longitudinal

difference from the degree rising in the ascendant does not makg a

difference. lhe degree rising in the ascendant is considered as the

effectivegree rvould be considered as the most effective point of all the

hoilles Supposc l0 degree rises as the ascendant in Leo. The

frfrit effective poinl of all the houses would be l0 degrees. The

planets placed in a house having longitude betr,veen 5 degree to 15

degree would be influencing the most effective point of the con-

cerned house.

The significations of houses fructify under the planetary

periods connected with them. The nature or extent of signifi-

cations is dependent on the strength of the lord of the house,

strength of the significator of the house and the effects on the

house itself. The significations of the houses suffer if their lords

and significators are weak or they or their lords are under the

influence of functional malefic planets.

ADVANCE ANALYTICAL TECHNIQUES

The key issues in horoscopic analysis are:

(l) Identiff ing the functional nature of the planets in a nativity;

(2) The techniques for judging the strength of a plane!

(3) The distinction between the rveak and/or afflicted planets;

(4) The impact of r,veak and/or afflicted planets;

(5) The orb of longitudinal difference for judging the impact of

conjunctions and asPects;

(6) The most malefic planet; and

(7) The most effective point (MEP) of various houses in a chart.

SALIENT FBATURES OF THE SYSTEMS' APPROACH

For the benefit of the readers, the prominent features of the

Systems' Approach are being discussed here' Events and indica-

tions in life are ruled b1' planets, houses. signs and planetary peri-

ods. The planets during their operating periods blcss the nati't'e

with the significations ruled by them depending upon their strength

and placement in a particular horoscope. Idcntifi ing the rveakness

and affliction of planets is not at all a difficult job and can be learnt

by beginners or non-astrologers lvith the help of the book, "SELF

LEARNING COURSE lN ASTROLOGY". The Sy5lsrns'Ap-

CONJUNCTIONS AND ASPECTS

When two or more planets have same longitudes, the con-junction is known as an exact conjunction. lf thc longitudinal dif-ference happens to be less than five degrees, the conjunction isknown as a close conjunction.

Similarly, when trvo or more planets mutualll' aspect eachother on the same longitudinal degree or a planet casts its aspectexactly on the most effective point of a house or houses. thcaspect is knonn as exact aspect. Ifthis aspect is rvithin a longitu-dinal diflerence of five degrees, then the aspect is knorvn as aclose aspect.

The conjunctions or aspects with more than fivc degrees lon-gitudinal difference are wide conjunctions or aspects. These'donot have permanent impact in life except the short lived transitinfluences on the planets involrred in wide conjunctions or aspectsseparately and severely.

ANALYSING STRENGTH OF PLANETS

Those planets are considered weak, which are in their signsof dlbrilitatlion, are combust, are in the state of olc! age or infancyand placed in the malefic houses in the rasi chart. The S1'stems'Approach also considers a planet weak if it is placed in themooltrikona sign of another rveak planet and if a planet occupiesits sign of debilitation in t[9_nar,'amsa and other varga charts. Inall other situ;Iions, the planets ar@wellplaced.

A u'eak planet is not capable to fully protect its general andparticular signifi cations.

The general significations meiu:ls the aspects ruled'by'theplanet. For example. the Sun rules father, status ofthe native. heart,digestive system, etc., irrespective of the lordship of the Sun in aparticular nativity. The particular significations of the planet meansthe significations of the house r.vhere its mooltrikona sign is placedand the house where this planet is placed in the natal chart.

side. that is. within ltl dcgrces to 28 degrces in that housc u'ould

be influencing the significations of the house in question in a pro-

nounced manner dcpending upon the functional nature of that

planet. Suppose. the planet Moon is placed at 24 degrees in the

third house in the sign Aquarius ruled by Satum. The Moon is a

functional malefic planet as it mles the eighth house. Since the

Moon is conjunct rvith the most effcctive point of the third ltouse,

not only it mars the initiatives of the person but during the sr-rb

periods of both the Moon and Saturn it will not allow any ventures

or initiatives of thc persons to succeed. The aspect of the Moon

to the most effective poilt of the ninth house would also cause

obstructions to the significations of the ninth house during the sub

periods of both the Sun and the Moon. The Sun is lord of the ninth

house rvhile the Mool is aspecting and inf.luencing the niltl, house

In such cascs if the planet Sun is u'ell placed and strong, the im-

pact of the influcnce of the Moon rvould bc somcu'hat milder than

if th" Sun is badly placed and rveak. Suppose, the Saturn is badlv

placed in the sixth house and is rveak due to its being in the state of

, AFFLICTIONS

The afflictions to the planets or houses are caused by the

close conjunction or aspect of the functional malefic planets in a

nativitl'. The afflictions to strong planets are effective if thev are

rvithin one degree range. The afflictions to weak planets or houses

are fulh' cffective if the1,' are rl,ithin one degree range while aff'lic-

tions are 80o - 60o ,40%^20% and 0o/o if the afflicting planet or

nrost effective point of the house is having a I deg, 2 deg,3 deg. 4

deg and 5 deg longitudinal difference, respectivelJ', from the weak

planet or the most cffective point of the house. It is most severe if

the weak and afflicted planets are badll' placed. The experience

based on the response of the people indicates that these afflictions

can be taken care of upto 80 - 90% with the help of the astral

t*trf


remedies. that is, kavach and charities. If the lord is strong thcdanrage is mrnimum. For non- mooltrikona signs the inrpact ofthe affliction is 100% to }n/o depending upon the longitudinal dif-fercncc bctu'ccn thc afflicting planets and the most effective pointsof thc housc. as crplaincd abovc. for the planets. If a planet, beinglord of a housc. is ucak one should see the strength of thesignificator (karaka) of tlut housc and the supplementary houses.

Wc hope. nou thc rcadcrs clcarlv understand that a weakplanct and an afflictcd planut arc not onc and the same thing.

MEASURING STRENGTH OF THE HOTJSES

The strength ofthe houses and the signs is gauged throughthe strength of their lords and the conjunctions or aspects to themost efilective point of the houses.

IDENTIFYING RESULTS OF MAIN OR SUB PERIODLORDS

Events fructif in the periods of indicative planets. There-fore, it is very important that rve understand the method of analysingthe dasa (main period) and bhukti (sub period) results.

Though various types of conditional planetary periods fbrspecific combinations in a nativitl'are mentioned in classical tcxts,Vimshotri dasa 51,51ep has 6een mentioned for general applica-tions. Based on the longitude of the Moon in the natal charts. thebalance of operational Vimshotri dasa is calculated. Thereafter,the planets have their main periods in a seriatirn. The order of themain periods (Dasa) under the Vimshotri dasa system is the dasaof the Sun followed by the Moon. Mars, Rahu, Jupiter, Saturn,Mercury, Ketu and Venus.

During the major period of a planet all othcr plancts shareperiods proportionate to their period in the Vimshotri dasa. Thisshare of period is known as sub-period (bhukti) and thc tirst sub-period in a planet's own main period is allavs its orvn fblloll'cdby other planets in the seriatim mentioncd abovc.

During the main period of the func-tional benefic planets the sub periods of the functional maleficplanets cause mild sufferings. During the main period ofthe func-tional benefic planets, the sub period of the functional maleficplanets involved in close conjunctions or aspects with other rveakplanets cause grave concems and tragic happenings.

The results of the general significations of the sub periodlord depend upon its functional nature, strength, placement,lordship, conjunction(s) and aspect(s) to the same. The significa-tions of the house of placement are touched when transit planets

create benefic or malefic inflriences on the sub period lord. Inthe sub period of a planet, the following significations aretouched:-

(l) The general significations of the planet. For example,the Sun rules father, social status, position with the government,male child, digestive system, heart, blood pressure, etc.

(2) The significations of the house where the mooltrikonasign of the planet is placed. In case in the mooltrikona sign housesome malefic planet is conjunct with the most effective point ofthe house or some malefic planet is aspecting the most effectivepoint of the said house, during the sub period of the ruling planet

the significations of the mooltrikona sign house shall not prosper

and face problems indicated by the afflicting planet dependingupon the lordship.

(3) The significations of the house where the planet isplaced.

The situation, in s'hich a planet 'A' is placed in a sign ornakshatra rule,l by the planet 'B' and the planet 'B' is placed in a

sign or nakshatra ruled by the planet 'A', is considered as ex-

change of houses or nakshatra (asterisms). For example, if the Sunis placed in the sign Scorpio and the planet Mars is placed in the

sign, Leo, then the classical works considers this as exchange ofhouses bV the Sun and Mars.

Under the Systems' Approach, we do not recognise thisconcept. Each planet is considered, separately, for its place'

ment, strength, relationship with other planets, etc.

ANALYSING CAPABILITY OF PLANETS TO BLESS

. WITH THEIR SIGNIFICATIONS

Both the positions - natal and transit - of the planet underconsideration are to be studied. The planets would be able to bless

the native rvith their significations, both general and particular. if

they are strong both in the natal chart and the transit.

IDENTIFYING TRANSIT INFLUENCES

The result of a particular house will be influenced by a tran-

siting planet when it is near to its most effective point dependingupon its functional nature whether bonefic or malefic. The impact

of transit functional malefics is on both functional malefics and

benefics. The things governed by the planets would be their gen-

eral and particular significations. Similarly'. rvhen the impact is on

the MEP of a house the significations of thc house occupied andhouse aspected would be influenced by a transit planet.

Exalted Planets

The placement ofthe planets in their signs of exaltation addsto their strength. Thc peak points of exaltation or debilitation hasvery little relevance.

Combust planets

When the Sun is a functional benefic planet its conjunctionlvith other well placed functional benefic planets is good and givesexponential growth for the significations of planets which are inclose conjunction rvith the Sun. The combust planets suffer underthe transit malefic influences.

When the Sun is a ftinctional malefic and is closely conjunctwith other planets all the planets involved suffer as they becomeafflicted by the conjunction of a functional malefic planet perrna-nently because of the natal affliction. The combust planets in suchcases suffer in transit afilictions.

BADHAKA PLANETS

The principle ofbadhaka house is redundant. For various as-cendants from Aries to Pisces, the planets Saturn. Saturn, Jupiter-Venus. Mars, Jupiter. the Sun, the Moon, Mcrcury.

Advance Analytical Techniques 3l

the so called badhaka planet is not closell, associated u,ith otherfunctional malefic planet or the most malefic planet, its influenceon any planet or the most effective point of a house, would neverbe bad.

KENDRADHIPATI DOSHA

Similarly, the Kendradhipati Dosha is also a redundant con-cept. It is said that lvhen a natural benefic planet owns a kendrahouse its functional nature for the nativitv becomes malefic. Thereaders can find out for themselves that if the mooltrikona sign ofa natural benefic planet falls in a kendra house its influence onother functional benefic planet or the most effective point of ahouse would always be beneficial. However, whenthis planet formsmutual close conjunction or aspect with other functional maleficplanet, its own general and particular significations would suffer.

These two concepts, that is the Badhaka Planets andKendradhipati Dosha, have been stretched by those, who neverdid empirical studies and failed to interpret charts with one singleapproach.

rMpAcT oF yocAs (PLANETARY COMBTNATTONS)

The particular conjunctions, mutual aspects and placementsin a natal chart are known as yoga. It may be a Rajyoga, Dhana5,oga,Duryoga, Mahapurush yoga. Mahabhagya yoga or even Kalsarpayoga. The impact of Rajyogas and Dhanayogas accrues only if theplanet(s) is or are placed in a good house, unafflicted and are strong.Whenever. the planets ruling the benefic houses conjoin or mutu-ally aspect closely, they form good yoga (say Rajyogas) connectedwith the indications of both the houses involved provided they arestrong and unafflicted. The involvement of a planet ruling the houseof income and./or wealth produces a Dhanayoga. In other words,mere location of a planet or a set of planets in a particular sign orhouse without creating a close relationship through a close con-junction or aspect does not result into yoga.

Similarly, until and unless the most malefic planet, the func-tional malefic planet, Rahu and Ketu form a close conjunction withanother planet(s) they do not produce any Duryoga or even Kalsarpa

of a particular planet, the same planet is also considered as an ad-

ditional primc determinant of the profession. For judging the

strength of the primary and secondary significators of the natal

chart in dasamsa we have to see if these planets have gone to their

the ninth house is always a contributing factor in this regard.

planets. If the afflicted planets of the prasna are strong' the

problern ends after the transit impact is over. If the natal afflicted

planets are weak and badly placed and the sub periods of the

uffli"tot. are in progress then the problem turns into constant

problem.

TIMING OF EVENTS

The prasna may pertain to the significations ruled by the plan-

ets andthe significations of the houses containing mooltrikona signs

of the afflict"d *d/or badly placed planets. Tirning of the results

is worked out as per the strength of the operating or forthcoming

well placed lords ofthe sub periods and or separation of the rnalefic

transit afflictions. If the problem has been caused by the operating

sub period then the span of the problem may be for a longer dura-

tion and can only be reversed in the sub period of a rvcll placed

strong functional benefic planet. If the problem has been caused

b), a transit malefic influence on a r.vell placed or strong planet,

the span of the problem may be when the causing transit malefic

ilfluence separates. For desired results, application of astrological

remedial measures detailed in chapter 8 are prescribed. If the

native has a natal chart then the remedies are suggested as per the

natal chart. Ifthe native does not have a natal chart and he/she has

contacted for the first time, the remedies are suggested as per the

ascendant of the Prasna.

CHAPTER 8

THE APPLICATION OF I\S'I ' ITOLOGTCALREMEDIES

To help pcople come out of their problcms thc qucrcnts areadvised appropriate astrological remedial measures. Thc problemsin life are caused by weak planets and./or afflictions to them. There-fore, two rvay application of astral remedies is administered afterdiagnosing the problematic planetary influences in a chart. Firstly,the strength is provided to the weak functionally benefic planets.The strength can be provided by various methods, e.g. stones, colourtherapy, KAVACH (the protective shield containing mystical num-bers of the planets) in an auspicious time. Secondly. the malevo-lence of the functionally malefic planets is reduced by offeringpropitiatory charities concerning these planets. The two r,vay ap-plication helps in reducing the impact of rnalefic planetary influ-ences to a large extent. The preventive use of astral remedies ismuch more useful than the curative astral remedies.

Generally, people resort to astral remedies in the end aftertrying all other therapies ignoring tlie distinct advantage of pre-ventive diagnostic power of the astrological science. Needless tostress the benefit of preventi'l'c medicinelredressal measures asagainst those ofthe curative nlcasures.

For both - curative and preventive remedies - the judiciousmixture of the following astral remedies is applied.

COLOUR THERAPY: This is a very potent prcvcntive rem-ed-v for epilepsy. mental retardation. psl,chic problcrns. ctc. and ispractised through the use of favourable colours in the matters ofdress and fumishings in one's living room.

The Application of Astrological Remedies 39

(As per the opinion of experts compiled by a Library inPittsburgh the grey colour of cars w'as found to be the r,vorst in carsafety.) As per our colour therapy. we had always been suggestingto avoid grey colours by those desirous ofhappy living and good

health.

VASTU: Againthis is preventive as well as curative therapyfor solving the problems in physical and spiritual areas. Widerappl icat ions of this therapy are in the f ie ld of success ofprofessional ventures. This is practised through use ofoutlay ofa building to derive geo-magnetic forces for properly energisingthe total impact of building with the help of light, air, space andaura conducive to the main functionary.

KAVACH: This is a protective shield containing mysticalnumbers of the functionally benefic planets in a nativity and is astrengthening measure. The weak and afflicted planets are enabledto protect and promote their significations. The Kavach is worn ina specially elected auspicious time for generating the desired im-pact. This is used both for preventive and curative purpose.

CHARITIES: These are offered for the planets causing af-flictions/problems in a horoscope

MANTRAS: As part ofthe meditation, the recitation of Man-tras is prescribed for propitiating the trouble causing planets as perthe Vedic rituals.

The malefic influences are effectively tackled with the helpof propitiatory measures for the afflicting planets which are asunder:-

The Sun Give handful of wet wheat with 15-20 grams

ofjaggery (Gur) to a cow or serving one's fa-ther or helprng old age needy persons.

Give a dough to a cow or serving one's motheror old age women.

These remedies are to be performed daily in the morning af-

ter bath and before breakfast.

The vveakness of the significator planets, as indicated earlier,

are made up with the help of a specially prepared KAVACH to be

worn by the native in an auspiciously elected trme. For details of

the design, size and mystical numbers to be engraved on both sides

of the KAVACH, the readers mayplease refer to our book, "Pre-

dictive Techniques and the Application of the Astrological Reme-

dial Measures".

These Kavachs (Yantras) get power to do good when the en-

gravings are done in an auspicious time as also due to a prescribed

way of life. The person prescribing use of the KAVACH shoulc

follor,v the follgwing:-

l. Bath in the morning without any bed tea, etc.

2. Prayers to Lord.

3. Performance of propitiatory remedies as per one's own chart.

4. Practise the divine way in life - that is (l) Be content (2)

The Application of Astrological Remedies 41

Increase utility to humanit-v (3) Help poor and needy (a) Bekind, generous and benevolent (5) Avoid deeper involvementin sensual pleasures, anger> pride. greed and enry.

CASE STUDIE,S - NEW BUSTNESS

The strong and well placed lords of the first, tenth and third

houses and the planets Mercury, Venus, Mars, Saturn and tho.seplaccd in the third house, during the course of their operational

periods give entrepreneurial inclinations to the native.

The influence of a strong lord ofthe third house on the third.

first, second, tenth and eleventh houses impels the native to go in

for business for greater earnings during the course of its opera-

tional periods.

A strong Sun adds to the organisational capabilities and en-

hance the results and success.

The strong and unafflicted position of Jupiter and the lord of

the ninth house if containing a mooltrikona sign contributes the

element of luck blessing the native with easy success.

While handling the questions whether one should venture intc

a business or not the astrologer should particularly consider the

influence ofthe planets governing losses on the fourth house, sec-

ond house, tenth house, eleventh house or their lords.

It is also necessary that the lord ofthe second house, tenth

house and the fourth house and the planets the Sun and the Moon

are not under the close influence of Rahu which results into sud-

den sufilerings or losses or loss of reputation and cause problems

with the state agencies.

In case both the ascen-dant and the sixth house do not contain a mooltrikona sign then theplanet Sun, the significator for vitality, would be considered as theprime determinant of health

The Sun is significator of health and vitaliw and Mars is thesecondary significator of health and vitality. If both the primedeterminant(s) and the primary and secondary significators areweak, badly placed and./or afflicted then the native is vulnerable toserious health problems. In case the planets, mentioned hereinabove, are strong, well placed and unafflicted then the native en-joys good health except short term sufferings due to transit u'eak-ness and afflictions. The functional malefic planets act as afflictors

SPOTTING THE HEALTH PROBLEMS

For spotting the health problems proceed as under :-

l. Identifr the concentrated malefic influence on the mosteffective points of various houses and the weak planets.

2. Identif, the sub periods of the afflicting and afflictedplanets and the significators of the health problems.

The follorving are the significators of the health problems:

Afflicted Planets: Those planets which have close influenceof the functional malcf-rc plancts (afflictors as mentioned above)either by conjunction or aspect are treated as afflicted planets. The

IdentifYing Health Problems 1'7

close influcnce of the lord of the sixth house and Rahu causes dis-

eases which may respond to the symptomatic treatment. The close

influence of the functional malefic planets ruling the eighth and

twel{th houses and the planet Ketu gives chronic diseases and if

the afflicted planet is rveak and badly placcd, the native suffersfrom fatal diseases and ma1' have to undergo surgery, etc.

Planetary Periods: The sub periods of the afflictor planets

as mentioned above and the sub periods of the planets placed in

the malefic houses. These sub periods gi'u'e rise to the trends r'rhich

continue throughout the sub periods and the trends can be reversed

if the prime determinants are strong and the follou'ing sub periods

are of strong, well placed and unafflrcted planets.

Weak Planets: The weak planets are not in a position to pro-

tect their general significations and the significations of the houses

containing their mooltrikona sign and therefore thc native suffers

on account of rnal-{ilnctioning of health ruled by the r,veak planets.

Needless to add that the badly ptaccd planets are included in the

weak plauets.

TIMING OF SURFACING

The problems of ill health start surfacing during the sub peri-

ods of the lord of the ascendant, lord of the sixth house, or theplanet placed in the sixth house or the planet causing affliction or

the planet afflicted.

CHAPTER 14

CASE STUDIES - MISSING PERSONS

This is another area in which the application of prasna(horary) astrology plays a ven' important role. A person may bemissing due to variety of reasons. It may be voluntary absence orinvoluntary absence. The voluntary absence may be because.ofernotional involvement, fear psyche or because of some differenceof opinion. The involuntary disappearance may be because of ill-ness on the r,vay, abduction, accident or problems r.."ith the meansof communications.

Such t5pe of questions are better handled through prasnaastrology. These can be caused by malefic transit influences. Theinfluence of Rahu and Ketu is very important. The timing is donewith the help of the separating malefic influences in the prasna.When the malefic transit influences of the fast moving planets areon other planets in the prasna, the separating impact is faster com-pared to the stationary transit influence on the weak natal planets.The transit malefic influence is seen on the most effective point ofthe first, third. fourth, fifth, seventh and tenth houses or their lords.The malefic influences caused by Mars, Ketu and the lords of thesixth and eighth houses on the ascendant or its lord or any otherweak and badll'placed planet result in involuntary disappearancenhile the involvement of Rahu, lords of the third. fifth. seventhand twelfth houses may cause voluntan' disappearance.

Besides the study of the prasna, the close conjunctions oraspects operating at the time of disappearance or leaving the sceneshould also be studied. These will help in corectly identif ing theplanct causing the event and will be helpful in tirning the returnaccordingly.


For obtaining the information on whereabouts. wo see whenthe significators of the infornration. that is. the Moon, Mercury orthe lord ofthe third house create influence on the third house. theplanets placed therein or the ascendant.

The other important factor to be kept in vierv is the speed ofthe planet causing disappearance. The slorv speed or stationaryposition of planets delays the return u,hilc the fast speed hastensthe separation effect and rcsults in carly retum or infonnation onwhereabouts and return.

The issue will be discussed further with the help of the casestudies:

PROGENIC PROBLEMS

Delay and denial of progeny causes great mental anguish topeople. The reasons for delay and denial are traced through thefollowing significators in Prasna charts : .

l. The strength of the lord ofthe fifth house as a prime determi-nant.

2. If there is no mooltrikona sign in the fifth house then the lordof the second house becomes the prime determinant.

3. The significator planets, Jupiter and the Sun.

The weakness and affliction of the above significators in theprasna cause progenic problems. We shall discuss the matterfurther through the case studies.
