Astronomical basis of Vedic Astrology

Astronomical basis of Vedic Astrology

The Zodiac is a belt of heavens extending on both sides of the ecliptic. It encircles the space through which the planets travel in their orbits.

Vedic Astrology employs sidereal zodiac, which is different from the tropical zodiac used in Western Astrology. While the tropical (Western) Astrology uses the vernal equinox (the Sun's position at the beginning of spring) as the starting point for the measurements along the zodiac, the sidereal (Vedic) Astrology uses fixed stars to identify different segments along the zodiac.

The starting points of the sidereal and tropical zodiacs coincide once every 25,800 years. After that the starting points separate from each other by an approximate 1 degree of an arc per each 72 years. The difference between the longitude of the starting points of the sidereal and tropical zodiacs at any given time is called Ayanamsha.

Due to the existing controversy about the year in which the two starting points coincided last, there are several ayanamshas used by different schools of Vedic astrologers. Some of them are Lahiri, Krishnamurti, Raman, and Fagan ayanamshas. Lahiri is the most widely used Ayanamsha which is based on the last coincidence point taking place in the year 285 A.D.

Lahiri Ayanamsha for the year of your birth is -23:06:26 degrees.

If you want to convert your sidereal (Vedic) planetary positions into tropical (Western), you can do so by adding this ayanamsha to the degrees of the planets in your Vedic chart. To arrive at the sidereal positions by converting the tropical ones, you will need to subtract the ayanamsha from the tropical positions.

For example, your Sun is placed in 02:52 degrees of the constellation of ¯lg in your Vedic chart. When you add the ayanamsha for the year of your birth, which is -23:06:26 degrees, you will derive the tropical (Western Astrology) horoscope position of your Sun which happens to be placed in the sign of ¯lg. Therefore, your Jyotish (sidereal) Sun sign is ¯lg and your Western (tropical) Sun sign is ¯lg.

The North Indian Style Chart

The North Indian Style Chart

Let us take a look at your actual horoscope kundali (chart): Right now you are looking at your Jyotish chart formatted in the North Indian chart style. As you see, there are 12 individual sections in the horoscope. These sections are the bhavas (houses), and each house is fully occupied by one of the signs. The signs are marked within the bhavas (houses) with numerals. The numbering system used for marking the signs reflects the natural order of the signs (i.e. 1 - for Aries, 2 - for Taurus, 3 - for Gemini, 4 - for Cancer and so on). The house counting sequence follows a counterclockwise direction, and so does the sign sequence within the chart. The box at the center top of the chart is called the First house. The sign occupying the first house is called the Ascendant. Your Ascendant is the sign which was rising at the eastern horizon at the time of your birth. The sign is indicated by its corresponding number. In your chart, the first house is marked with number 6, which indicates the sign of dU;k. Therefore, your Ascendant is dU;k. The box on the left of the first house is called the second house. The number 2 in that house represents the sign of o`"k. Next to it is the third house, then the fourth, and so on up to the twelfth house. The sequential order of the houses is FIXED in the North India chart format. The top center box is always the first house and the bottom center one is always the seventh. When using the North Indian style chart you should also remember that the numbers within the houses represent the sign numbers, not the numbers of the houses. For your convenience, here is a complete verview: Each of the grahas (planets) is placed in one of the bhavas (houses). The planets are marked in the chart with their abbreviated names. Now we see from the picture of your chart, which houses your planets occupy. The Sun, indicated by the letters Su, is in house 12. The Moon (Mo) is in house 8. Mars (Ma) is in house 1. Mercury (Me) is in house 11. Jupiter (Ju) is in house 2. Venus (Ve) is in house 1. Saturn (Sa) is in house 11. Rahu (Ra) is in house 9. Ketu (Ke) is in house 3. Once again, you should not confuse the house numbers with the numbers that you see in your chart. The numbers in the houses represent the signs that occupy those houses. The houses must be counted in a counterclockwise direction from the 1st house, which is the top center house. The houses should be counted inclusively of the house you are counting from. For example the 3rd house is located three houses away from the first one, not two, and 11th house is 5 houses away from the 7th, not four. Even though within this tutorial we will always reference your chart in the North Indian format, you should learn the difference between North and South Indian chart styles. Let's take a look at your natal chart drawn in the South Indian format.

Uttrakhand DISASTER THE DOING OF NAKSHATRAS and HUMANS

Uttrakhand the state formed by the division of Uttar Pradesh. Uttrakhand was formed on 9 November 2009 as India's 27th state. Its a well known pilgrimage place.

The disaster happened due to heavy rainfall from 14 June to 17 June is a scary unforgettable happening. Thousand of peoples animals died. Its just impossible to guess how much Loss of wealth peoples happened.

Loss of wealth can be overcomed but the loss of peoples can be never neglected. Many persons are lost, house got damaged and got destructed.
It is said to the climbers of the mountain that any type of loud voice music should be avoided so that the environment doesn't get disturbed and also any type of shaking of the ground to be happened. But in today's time people do not consider these facts. Industries,factories,helicopter services are in use which are effecting negatively our the ecological balance that's why people had suffered such disasters.

Overview of the basic elements OF ASTROLOGY

Overview of the basic elements OF ASTROLOGY

Out of the many luminous bodies in the sky, there are ones that are fixed and

ones that move. The background of the fixed stars is called the zodiac and is

divided in separate, distinct spaces, called nakshatras. The heavenly bodies

that move are called Grahas (for the lack of a better word translated as

"Planets").

For predictive purposes Jyotish looks at the positions of the planets in

relation to the stars in the Zodiac at the time of one's birth. These positions

reveal how the universe was functioning at that instance. In a way, planets

are like 9 special measuring points from which the entire subtle state of

natural law can be measured. At the time of birth, when the body enters the

world, this state of the universe gets projected into the structure of
the life of

an individual.

Therefore, the conditions of these nine measuring points, the nine planets,

define the entire life span of events and circumstances for an individual.

The 9 Grahas

We just mentioned nine planets, even though not all of them are actual

planets. Only five of them are planets, one is a star, one is a moon, and the

remaining two are special mathematical points. Everyone is familiar with the

Sun, the Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, and Saturn. The other two

elements included into the group are Rahu and Ketu, known as the North and

South Lunar nodes. Rahu and Ketu do not have physical substance, they are

two mathematical points that mark the point of intersection of the plane of

the Moon's orbit around the Earth with the ecliptic plane. Lunar or solar

eclipses occur when the Sun and the Moon are close to one of the nodes. From

now on, we shall refer to this group of "planets" with a proper Sanskrit term

Grahas.

Each graha (planet) represents certain facets of human life. Traditional Vedic

astrology does not consider the influences of Neptune, Uranus, and Pluto.

Here are the names of the grahas in Sanskrit:

SUN is SURYA MOON is CHANDRA
MARS is MANGALA
MERCURY is BUDHA
JUPITER is GURU
VENUS is SHUKRA
SATURN is SHANI
The NORTH NODE is RAHUTHE
SOUTH NODE is KETU

When you add the ayanamsha for the year of your birth, which is -23:06:26 degrees, you will derive the tropical (Western Astrology) horoscope position of your Sun which happens to be placed in the sign of ¯lg. Therefore, your Jyotish (sidereal) Sun sign is ¯lg and your Western (tropical) Sun sign is ¯lg.

MARS is MANGALA
MERCURY is BUDHA
JUPITER is GURU
VENUS is SHUKRA
SATURN is SHANI
The NORTH NODE is RAHUTHE
SOUTH NODE is KETU

Grahas have primary and secondary significations. Here is the list of the primary graha significations assigned by the sage Parashara (the author of Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra):

SURYA (Sun) signifies the soul.
CHANDRA (Moon) signifies the mind.
MANGALA (Mars) signifies energy.
BUDHA (Mercury) signifies speech.
GURU (Jupiter) signifies knowledge.
SHUKRA (Venus) signifies reproduction.
SHANI (Saturn) signifies grief.

The 27 Nakshatras

The zodiac is divided into 27 Nakshatras, each of identical size. The first one is called Ashwini, and the others follow from there. The very same zodiac is also divided in a different way: into 12 Rashis (zodiacal signs). Out of the 12 signs, the one that is rising in the East at the time of birth is of particular importance. It is called Lagna (Ascendant) and it is used as the main point of reference in analyzing the chart. In your chart, the Lagna is dU;k, and as we will see, is very important in your life.The Nakshatra rising in the East is also important.

THE 12 RASHIS

Thegrahas (planets) are constantly moving through the Zodiac. The circle of the Zodiac is divided into 12 equal segments called constellations or rashis (signs). Each rashi (sign) occupies 30 degrees of the celestial space. Each of the rashis (signs) has a unique set of attributes that affect any graha (planet) traveling through that sign. The signs are environments that affect the way a planet feels and behaves.

Here are the 12 rashis (signs) listed in their natural order:

Rashi rulerships

Every rashi (sign) has its particular planetary ruler. The Sun and the Moon rule over one sign each, while the rest of the grahas hold rulership over two signs. Traditionally, Rahu and Ketu are considered not to hold rulership over any signs, although, some astrologers consider Rahu and Ketu to co-rule the signs of Aquarius and Scorpio respectively. The sign rulerships are a permanent value.

ARIES (Mesha) is ruled by Mars.
TAURUS (Vrishabha) is ruled by Venus.
GEMINI (Mithuna) is ruled by Mercury.
CANCER (Karka) is ruled by the Moon.
LEO (Simha) is ruled by the Sun.
VIRGO (Kanya) is ruled by Mercury.
LIBRA (Tula) is ruled by Venus.
SCORPIO (Vrishika) is ruled by Mars.
SAGITTARIUS (Dhanu) is ruled by Jupiter.
CAPRICORN (Makara) is ruled by Saturn.
AQUARIUS (Kumbha) is ruled by Saturn.
PISCES (Meena) is ruled by Jupiter.
The 12 Bhavas

The Zodiac is divided in one more way. Relative to the position of the Earth, the zodiac is divided into 12 bhavas (houses). Just as the proper motion of planets is reflected by their degree positions in rashis (signs), the diurnal (illusionary, relative motion of the planets as perceived from the Earth) motion of the planets is shown by their placement in astrological houses. The houses represent the various areas of life. The planets and signs that occupy the corresponding bhavas (houses) will affect those areas of life. The twelve bhavas (houses) represent the totality of the existence as experienced by a human being.
Here are the main significations of each house:
The First House represents the Self.
The Second House represents your financial assets.
The Third House represents courage.
The Fourth House represents happiness.
The Fifth House represents your children.
The Sixth House represents your enemies.
The Seventh House represents your spouse.
The Eighth House represents your vulnerable points.
The Ninth House represents your fortune.
The Tenth House represents your career.
The Eleventh House represents your income.
The Twelfth House represents the end of everything.

So far, we have briefly covered the general principles of the three main components of Jyotish: the Grahas (Planets), the Rashis (signs), and the Bhavas (Houses). The positions of the planets in the signs and houses are depicted in what is called the Horoscope. Evaluation and understanding of the interactive influences of these three main elements constitutes the interpretation of your horoscope.

How to do BLACK MAGIC ..

What is BLACK MAGIC ?

Black Magic is seen mainly in movies and is quite interesting.
West Bengal is famous for Black Magic.

Black magic is manipulation of energy for the purpose harming somebody. There

is no god or devil involved in this. It is pure energy manipulation. The same

energy can be used for good purposes as well. The devil, satan etc are all

figments of the imagination. Its only energy that has been manipulated.
Result on the Person doing Black Magic.

One thing is certain and from experience i can say that the person who does

black magic on others gets back the same amount of negative energy often

resulting in a horrific death of the black magician.

How to do Black Magic??

It is ok to know and learn about this subject but stay away from practicing it.
The victim's clothes, hair, nails etc are used in this ceremony. Energy is then

manipulated to attack the victim directly. When negative energy is concentrated

in such a manner the result is death, pestilence, bad luck etc. If the
victim prays

to a higher energy source or asks a tantric for the black magic to be reversed

then the black magician gets back the negative energy multiplied thousand fold

and is doomed. If you see a banana leaf with rice, turmeric and strange looking

things on it do not step on it. Move away from it as it is all the
negative black

energy in concentrated form.

Bottom line is...Stay away from people who practice this.

Is Someone using Black Magic On You ?

Due to jealousy, heart burning or some base cause, the Tantriks use cheap

tactics to overcome the adversaries, which ruins one's life. Are you also under

such a spell? We must have peace and happiness in life, and to achieve the same

we work hard. But we do not get in return to the proportions of our
labor. Black

magic. What's the point? You can easily do as much damage to someone (and

yourself) with conventional means.

We get very little even after the best of our efforts, we toil to get
success in our

business but the profits are too little. We do not want any discontentment or

discord in our family life, but inspite of our best efforts, the peace and

tranquility of our family is disturbed.

On the other hand people work very little, but get too much in return.

Businessmen have ample wealth just be putting in little efforts, bit we are

disappointed even after continuous efforts. It leads us to conclude, that there

are some evil forces which make our strategies unsuccessful.

Common Black Magic Spells ---

Black magic can most often be found in the uses of love magic. Unfortunately,

most people who cast love spells are trying to force another person to
love them

or another. Despite the fact that people often associate good feelings
with love,

in forcing another person to fall in love, there is certainly a
violation in that

person's free will.
