ASTROLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF HOUSE FOR ENEMIES.

The term enemy itself is a dreaded and most frightening one and is in the inventory of ‘most unwanted things’ in our life. Is there any method to decimate or atleast to contain the enemy force more so in the event if it happens to be a powerful one than you? I think ‘No’. Compromise formula, although equivalent to a virtual surrendering before the enemy element, even also most often does not work as foolproof. But, Astrology can find a most potent way for you to pacify your enemy factors, be it for an individual nativity or in respect of the cases coming under the purview of mundane astrology.

The sixth house of a horoscope besides other significations denotes our enemies. The enemies may be in the form of adversaries, competitors, neighbours, and group of persons etc. encompassing all those within its ambit who keep an evil spirit against us in their minds as well as spell out the same through their actions. A weak 6th lord if afflicts 3rd house can cause continuous problem from neighbours and younger coborns. A weak 6th lord if afflicts the 10th lord through conjunction or aspect can give rise to enemies in the work place. Animosity with boss/superiors can be predicted if such affliction occurs in 9th house, with friends and colleagues if such affliction happens in 11th house and with subordinates if such afflictions take place in 5th house.

The sixth house is grouped in ‘trika/dusthana’ (meaning bad house) in Vedic Astrology. If the sixth lord is weak and the sixth house is afflicted by malefics especially, by hardcore malefic like Rahu through occupation or aspects, one has to bear with him the nagging problem of enemies throughout his life. However, the benefic aspects on sixth house and its lord reduce the bite of enemies to a large extent. If such weak sixth lord conjunct the eighth lord in houses 2nd or 7th and influence the most effective points of any of these two houses where these ‘dusthana lords’ are located can even cause death of such nativity in the hand of enemies at the time of running of unfavourable period and sub-period.

The native at chart below was born on 05/01/1928 at 5.26 p.m. (IST) at 27N27, 68E08 with a balance of 3 years, 9 months and 27 days of Mars main period at birth.

The 6th lord is in the 6th afflicted by Saturn (8th lord) and Ketu. Ketu afflicts the 6th occupants Venus, Mars and Saturn, as well. All the occupants of the 6th house including afflicted 6th lord are being aspected by the 2nd lord Moon from 12th house and the 7th lord Jupiter from 10th house. Kendradipathi Dosha vitiates the aspect of Jupiter on 6th lord Mars and is of no help. As already explained, 2nd & 7th houses are treated to be death inflicting houses and the aspects of the Jupiter and Moon on conjunct 6th lord Mars with 8th lord Saturn clearly indicative of termination of life in the hand of rivals. The aspect of 2nd lord Moon from 12th house (house of prison) on conjunct 6th lord Mars and 8th lord Saturn, further points towards death in prison in the hand of rivals. The native, Prime Minister, of a neighbouring country was arrested and put in jail by his political adversaries. After a year of humiliation and a complete breakdown of health due to neglect and squalid prison conditions, he was hanged to death.

On the contrary, if the 6th lord is strong and the 6th house is lashed with benefic intervention, one is free from enemies, diseases, and debt as well as successful in competitions.

The chart below is in respect of a most important and revered personality who was born on 19/11/1917 at 11.13 P.M. (IST) at 25N27, 81E51 with a balance of 1 year, 3 months and 25 days of Sun Dasa at birth.

In the above chart, the 6th lord Jupiter is Vargottama in the 11th and well placed. The 6th occupant Venus (lord of 4th house/MT and 11th house) gained strength from an exchange of signs with Vargottama Jupiter. Another occupant of the 6th house is Rahu, who acquired strength because of the strong position of his sign dispositor Jupiter. Ketu, who is aspecting the 6th house, is also strong because his sign dispositor Mercury is also Vargottama. The native held the office of the Prime Minister for nearly 16 years and was an almost invincible force in the political life of the country. Even when she lost power temporarily, she was able to bounce back with renewed strength.

Some Beneficial Combinations

• An exceptionally strong Ascendant is always capable of fully neutralizing the malefic and adverse effect of enemies. Ascendant being the 8th house from the 6th house is the death place of enemies and all enemy related activities.
• A strong Jupiter in the Ascendant kills the enemies to their bottoms.
• Placement of benefic planets in the 6th house never allows enemies to grow.
• Mars and Saturn are the significator planets of 6th house and for that matter enemies also. If both of them are strong, enemies are always contained at the bays.
• A strong Arudha Bhava of the 6th house portrays the native stronger before his enemies through overestimation, which prevent the enemies to go against him.

The table below shows the general astrological outcome according to the placement of different planets in the 6th house with regard to enemy matters.

Planets	General Outcome
Sun	Good politicians, few enemies
Moon	Bad for longevity, revengeful enemies
Mars	Victorious, successful politician, less foes
Mercury	Quarrelsome and a terror to his/her enemies
Jupiter	Feared by his/her enemies
Venus	Sexual over indulgence, no enemies
Saturn	Quarrelsome, foe less
Rahu	Long lived and wealthy but troubled by enemies
Ketu	Fame and authority, few enemies

Enemies do not matter for a person, when they are happening to be weak and cannot muster courage to bite the native overtly or covertly through their ill spirited designs. I astrologically believe that we acquire the types and nature of animosity against us through our past deeds. I have, therefore, always suggested my readers to live a selfless and dedicated life devoid of greed and anger in order to reap them the sweet and juicy benefit of the same in their next life, the result of which even start unfolding in the existing life cycle itself as per the Holy Divine Diktat.

Planetary afflictions in the 6th house sometime become havoc for an individual nativity. I list below a few of them.

• If Mars is afflicted in the 6th joined by the Sun or Rahu, then one is likely to be exposed to danger from robbers, anti-social elements, militants and terrorists and sometimes, even by members of the police or defence forces.
• Venus, so afflicted in the 6th or afflicting the 6th, makes for rivals from the cine world like Hollywood/Bollywood like places or art world or from womenfolk generally, female relatives or even one’s own wife (or husband), turning inimical to the native.
• Mercury if afflicted in the 6th gives ones constant problems from the business community, may be banking organizations, businessmen and even small time traders and peddler like vegetable or fruit vendors. Or, even, one may get into complicated situations involving conmen.
• The afflicted Moon in the 6th house can even exposes one to danger from mobs and the public.
• The Moon, Mars and Rahu or Saturn afflicted in the 6th can make one get caught in riots, communal or group clashes, dacoities, stampedes or public demonstrations and thereby suffer much bodily, financially and in other ways.
• The Sun when so afflicted in the 6th house may push a native into a tangle of complications involving tax or other governmental and quasi-governmental authorities with endless running around to get out of the problems.
• When Saturn is the afflicting factors on the 6th house, the source of one’s problems can be members of the labour class, small time criminals, household staff, servants, factory workers and even those in the trade unions.

GAJKESARI YOGA in vedic kundali

According to its definition prevalent in Vedic astrology, when Jupiter is in Kendra from Moon, which means when Jupiter is in house number  1, 4, 7 or 10 from Moon, Gaj Kesari Yoga is formed in the horoscope which can bless the native with great fame, success, wealth, authority and many other good things.

As we know that there are only 12 houses in a horoscope and Jupiter can be present in any one of these 12 houses, when we count from the house of placement of Moon, the presence of Jupiter in 4 out of 12 houses will lead to the formation of Gaj Kesari Yoga in every third horoscope. For example, if Moon is placed in the first house of a horoscope, the placement of Jupiter in first, fourth, seventh or tenth house of this horoscope will form Gaj Kesari Yoga in the horoscope, according to its definition. Hence the presence of Jupiter in 4 out of 12 houses of a horoscope leads to the formation of this Yog.

It means that randomly, every third person is having Gaj Kesari Yoga in his horoscope and accordingly every third person on this earth should witness the good results indicated by this Yog.  Analyzing this definition further, we know that Moon transits a sign for two and a half days approximately and Jupiter stays in a sign for about one year on average. Since the formation of Gaj Kesari Yoga is decided by the placement of Jupiter from Moon, Gaj Kesari Yoga once formed stays active for about two and a half days as none of the two planets may change their positions during this period of time.

It means that all the people born across the world during such two and a half days will have Gaj Kesari Yoga in their horoscopes. To simplify this fact, let us assume that Jupiter is present in Aries at a time. As we know that Jupiter stays in a sign for about a year, so when Moon enters in any of the signs namely Aries, Cancer, Libra or Capricorn, Gaj Kesari Yoga will be formed as Jupiter will be in house 1, 10, 7 and 4 from Moon in these cases. Since Moon stays in a sign for two and a half days and Jupiter doesn’t change its sign fast, it means that such Gaj Kesari Yoga will be active continuously for two and a half days.

The fact that Gaj Kesari Yoga is found in almost every third horoscope and the fact that this Yoga remains active for about two and a half days are very hard to justify practically. This is because the good results associated with Gaj Kesari Yoga are rare and they are not found in case of every third native. It should also be noted that any one of the good or bad Yogas in Vedic astrology doesn’t remain active continuously even for an hour, let alone a period of two and a half days.

This means that there are more conditions for the formation of Gaj Kesari Yoga in a horoscope than the one mentioned in prevalent definition of this Yoga. We shall now look into these conditions and we will find out relevant and practical facts related to the formation as well as results of Gaj Kesari Yoga.

Apart from being placed in houses which are first, fourth seventh or tenth with respect to each other, both Jupiter and Moon should be working positively in a horoscope, for the formation of Gaj Kesari Yoga. The primary condition for the formation of any benefic Yog in a horoscope is that all the planets involved in the formation of such Yog should be working positively in that horoscope. Therefore, in order for Gaj Kesari Yoga to be formed in a horoscope, both Jupiter and Moon should be benefic in that horoscope. Jupiter and Moon can broadly make four combinations in a horoscope, in the cases which qualify for consideration of Gaj Kesari Yoga. Out of these four combinations, the combination of positive Jupiter with positive Moon may result in the formation of Gaj Kesari Yoga.

On the other hand, the remaining three combinations like the combination of benefic Jupiter with malefic Moon, the combination of malefic Jupiter with benefic Moon and the combination of malefic Jupiter with malefic Moon may not lead to the formation of Gaj Kesari Yoga in the horoscope. This is because in all these three combinations, either one or both the planets are malefic. Hence these combinations may not result in the formation of Gaj Kesari Yoga and instead they may form a negative Yog in which the negative planet may hit the general as well as the specific significances of the positive planet.

For example, the significances of Jupiter may suffer when this combination is present in a horoscope and Jupiter is benefic whereas Moon is malefic. As a result, the native may have to face problems in many spheres of his life, related to the general as well as specific significances of Jupiter. For example, the native may face problems related to overall fortune, luck, children, wisdom and spiritual growth; as these are the general significances of Jupiter. If Jupiter represents the seventh house in such horoscope, the native may face problems related to his marriage, as the marriage of this native becomes a specific significance of Jupiter in this case.

Similarly, the general as well as specific significances of Moon may suffer when malefic Jupiter is present in the same house with benefic Moon. As a result, the native may face problems related to peace of mind, emotional disturbances, problems related to mother and other types of problems which relate to the general significances of Moon. Looking at specific types of problems, if Moon represents the tenth house in a horoscope, the native may face many types of problems related to his profession as the affairs of the tenth house now become the specific significances of Moon for this native.

The worst type of combination is found in cases where both Jupiter and Moon are malefic in the horoscope as the significances of both Jupiter and Moon may suffer in this case, which can cause serious problems for the native and no Gaj Kesari Yoga may be formed in the horoscope. In this case, malefic Jupiter may hit the significances of malefic Moon and malefic Moon may hit the significances of malefic Jupiter in a negative way. Hence this combination can prove very bad for the native and he may have to suffer a lot in many spheres of his life.

It should be noted that in all these combinations, whether Jupiter or Moon may dominate the other depends on the strength of these planets as well as on the overall tone of the horoscopes in question. For example, if malefic Jupiter is placed with malefic Moon in the sign of Pisces or Sagittarius, the significances of malefic Moon may be hit much more than the significances of malefic Jupiter.

This is because Jupiter is more powerful in the signs of Pisces and Sagittarius; and hence it may dominate the results of this combination, whether such results are positive or negative. If Jupiter placed in Pisces or Sagittarius is positive and Moon placed along with Jupiter in one of these signs is negative, the resultant may not be much destructive, though it may still be negative. This is due to the reason that positive Jupiter is stronger than negative Moon in this case. Hence it may be able to reduce the damage caused by negative Moon.

On the other hand, if a combination of malefic Jupiter and malefic Moon is placed in the sign of Taurus, the significances of Jupiter may be affected much more than the significances of Moon. This is because Moon is stronger in this sign, compared to Jupiter. Hence Moon may dominate this combination, which means it may be able to reduce the damage caused by Jupiter and it may also be able to cause more damage to Jupiter. Similarly, if malefic Jupiter is placed with benefic Moon in the sign of Taurus, the resultant though negative; may not cause problems of high degree. This is due to the reason that positive Moon is stronger than malefic Jupiter and hence it may reduce the damage caused by Jupiter.

Coming back to the definition, both Jupiter and Moon should be positive in a horoscope, in order for Gaj Kesari Yoga to form in the horoscope. Once we are sure about the positive working of Jupiter and Moon in one such horoscope, the next thing to check is their strength and level of activity. If positive Jupiter and positive Moon are both strong in a horoscope, they may result in the formation of strong Gaj Kesari Yoga. Similarly, if they are both active in the horoscope, the results given by Gaj Kesari Yoga may be even better.

For example, the benefic results of Gaj Kesari Yoga may decrease considerably if this Yog is present in the sign of Capricorn or Scorpio; as Jupiter and Moon respectively are debilitated in these signs. As a result, weak Jupiter or weak Moon may not contribute much towards Gaj Kesari Yoga; even when both these planets are benefic in the horoscope. On the other hand, if this Yoga is formed in the signs like Cancer, Taurus or Pisces; the results may be very good. Such Gaj Kesari Yoga may bless the native with many types of good results, depending on the overall tone of his horoscope.

Moving on to the next factor, the influence of other positive or negative planets on Jupiter or Moon should also be checked properly, as this factor alone can change the results altogether, in some cases. For example, if malefic exalted Mars is placed in the sign of Capricorn along with benefic debilitated Jupiter and benefic Moon; the results may be disastrous. Though in theory, Gaj Kesari Yoga may form in this case; the practical results of this combination may be very bad for the native.

As we can see, Jupiter is debilitated in this case; hence weak Gaj Kesari Yoga may be formed. Moving on, malefic Mars is very strong due to being exalted. As a result, it may seriously afflict both Jupiter and Moon and especially Jupiter, as it is very weak. Hence a defect may form in the horoscope which may trouble the native with many types of problems related to many spheres of his life, depending on the overall tone of this horoscope. Since the strength of such defect may be much higher than the strength of Gaj Kesari Yoga, the native may only witness the impact of such defect and he may not come across any visible impact of Gaj Kesari Yoga.

Considering this equation from the opposite angel; if exalted Mars placed in the sign of Capricorn along with debilitated Jupiter and Moon is positive; the results may be wonderful. Such positive exalted Mars may form Neechbhang RajYoga in the horoscope, by cancelling the debilitation status of Jupiter. Positive exalted Mars may also form Chandra Mangal Yoga in the horoscope due to its presence with Moon in the same house. Hence the native may benefit from the combined effect of Gaj Kesari Yoga, Chandra Mangal Yoga and Neechbhang RajYoga. As a result, he may achieve many types of good results, including a post of high authority in the government or a position of great fame, if his overall horoscope is supportive.

You see, how much can change by merely adding a planet to this combination or even when the nature of such planet changes. Hence all these factors should be checked carefully and only then the formation as well as the results indicated by Gaj Kesari Yoga should be concluded. Even a seemingly small factor like the house of placement of this Yoga may change everything. For example, the formation of Gaj Kesari Yoga in the first house of a horoscope in the sign of Cancer can bless the native with a post of authority in the government, the placement of this Yog in the eleventh house in the sign of Cancer can bless the native with very good profits through business, the placement of this Yog in the fifth house of a horoscope in the sign of Cancer can bless the native with very good results through a creative field; and the placement of this Yog in the twelfth house in the sign of Cancer may bless the native with very good success as a spiritual guru or astrologer.

I know it looks like many factors to check already, but it is not the end; and the most important factor still remains. The overall tone of a horoscope having Gaj Kesari Yoga in it should be checked thoroughly before reaching any conclusions, as this is the factor which can change each and everything. For example, the presence of Gaj Kesari Yoga in the first house of a horoscope can bless the native with top class authority in government, if the overall theme of his horoscope is authoritative. On the other hand, the placement of Gaj Kesari Yoga in the first house of a horoscope can bless the native with success as an artist like a musician, writer or actor; if the overall theme of the horoscope is creative.

Similarly, Gaj Kesari Yoga placed in the first house of a horoscope can bless the native with good results through business, practice, spiritualism, astrology, inheritance and many other spheres; depending on the overall theme of his horoscope. Therefore, if you want to calculate the exact type of benefits that Gaj Kesari Yoga may pass on to a native, when formed in his horoscope, all these factors should be checked properly. Avoiding some of these factors may result in partly correct calculations or predictions. This is because you know Gaj Kesari Yoga is present in the horoscope but you don’t know what is it going to do to the native?

Generally speaking, you can simply tell that something good is going to happen to the native having strong Gaj Kesari Yoga in his horoscope. Specifically speaking, you can’t tell what type of good, how much good and when can such good happen to this native, without looking into these details? Therefore, the overall tone of the horoscope becomes very important if you’re interested in the detailed applications of Gaj Kesari Yoga or any other good or bad Yog present in a horoscope.

Coming to the last but not the least, the impact of running times should also be checked in order to further fine tune the effects given by Gaj Kesari Yoga in a horoscope. It should be noted that any type of good or bad Yog becomes duly effective, if one of the planets involved in its formation is leading the running times. As a result, the native may witness the strongest benefits of Gaj Kesari Yoga if he is hit by the planetary periods of Jupiter or Moon during relevant years of his age. This very simple looking fact may not change the type of success you may achieve due to the influence of Gaj Kesari Yoga in many cases; however it may change the quantum of such success to a great extent.

For example, if Gaj Kesari Yoga is formed in the tenth house of a horoscope in the sign of Pisces and the overall theme of the horoscope is creative, the native may become an actor or a writer. Though the native may achieve success if his overall horoscope is strong and positive, such success may reach high levels; as and when the planetary periods of Jupiter or Moon hit this native. This is because during these periods, Gaj Kesari Yoga may gain additional strength and hence it may bless the native with even better results.

Similarly, if Gaj Kesari Yoga is formed in the tenth house of a horoscope in the sign of Sagittarius and the overall theme of the horoscope is authoritative, the native may achieve a post of authority in the house of government through job or through politics. Let’s further assume that the overall theme of his horoscope supports authority through politics. Hence this native may become a minister in a state government, if his horoscope is strong and positive; even when the planetary periods are not ruled by Jupiter or Moon.

However, if the planetary periods of Jupiter or Moon hit this native at relevant times, the native benefitting from the same Gaj Kesari Yoga may become the chief minister of a state, a minister in the national government; or even the head of state of a country; depending on the overall strength of his horoscope. It should be noted that the term ‘relevant times’ in this context means when an opportunity has appeared.

Making it easy to understand, let’s assume a native benefitting from Gaj Kesari Yoga has an authoritative horoscope and he tries to achieve authority through politics. Let’s assume this native wants to run for the post of chief minister of a state. Now the time of election is the relevant time in this case. It means if this native is under the effect of the planetary period of Jupiter or Moon during this time, he may be projected as a CM candidate by his party, his party may win the election and he may become a chief minister.

However, if the running time is not led by Jupiter or Moon; he may miss this post due to many reasons, and he may get something less in value. For instance, his party may not declare him a candidate for CM though he may secure an important ministry in the state government; like home ministry. Looking at one more possibility, his party may declare him as a candidate for CM, they may lose the election and he may become the leader of the opposition; instead of becoming a CM. Similarly, this native may miss the post of CM due to other reasons also, depending on the overall tone of his horoscope as well as depending on the running times.

Taking one more example, let’s consider this native wants to achieve authority through a government job and he appears in civil exams in order to achieve the highest possible direct rank in administrative services. The time of exams and selection is the relevant time in this case. If the planetary period of Jupiter or Moon hits this native during his years of age when he appears for such exams, he may clear them and he may get blessed with such post of high authority.

However, if the planetary periods of Jupiter or Moon don’t hit him during these years of his age, he may not achieve such highest possible direct rank, though he may still be able to achieve something lower in value. Hence this native may clear another exam which may not bless him with the best type of post available in administrative services, but which may bless him with the second or the third best type of post of authority available.

It can be seen that in both these example, even when the natives are not supported by the planetary periods of Jupiter or Moon at relevant times, they may still achieve good results. However, such good results may not be of the highest order and they may be less in value or quantum. This is the time to understand that any type of good or bad Yog formed in a horoscope tends to give its best results when the planetary periods are ruled by a planet involved in the formation of that Yog.

It means Kaal Sarp Yog may prove very destructive when the planetary periods are ruled by Rahu or Ketu; since this Yog is formed by Rahu and Ketu. Similarly, Manglik Dosh may prove very bad when the planetary periods are ruled by Mars; as this defect is formed by Mars. Looking at the positive Yogas, Malavya Yoga may produce its best results when planetary periods are ruled by Venus. On the same lines, Gaj Kesari Yoga may produce its best results when the planetary periods are ruled by Jupiter or Moon.

Going even deeper, if a good or bad Yog is formed by more than one planet in a horoscope, the good or bad results of highest order are likely to be given during the running period of the planet which is stronger among the planets involved in the formation of such Yog. It means if Gaj Kesari Yoga is formed in the sign of Sagittarius, Jupiter is stronger than Moon and hence it dominates the results. Based on these facts, the native may come across good results; broadly divided among three levels.

For instance, if the overall theme of a horoscope having such Gaj Kesari Yoga is indicating authority through politics, this is what may happen. If none of the planetary periods of Jupiter or Moon hits this native at relevant times, he may become a minister in a state government. If the planetary period of Moon hits this native at a relevant time, he may become the chief minister of a state. If the planetary period of Jupiter hits this native at a relevant time, he may become a very important minister in the national government or he may even become the prime minister or the president of a country.

It means that the true potential of any good or bad Yoga is unleashed; only when the running time of the strongest planet involved in the formation of such Yoga hits the native at a relevant time. For example, if in the same case, the main planetary period of Jupiter hits this native during his age of 2 years and 18 years, his best chance may be wasted. It means that though this native may have the potential of becoming a prime minister, the period supporting that potential has hit him at an irrelevant time. Since the native may not become a prime minster during his age of 2 and 18; and the main planetary period of Jupiter may not come again during his lifetime, he may miss the best possible gift of Gaj Kesari Yoga.

Hence this native may witness his father or another family member in great authority during his childhood and he may enjoy a big part of such authority due to the planetary period of Jupiter. Once he grows old, he may still achieve the second or third best type of results depending on the other important factors, though he may not achieve the best possible result. You see, how each and every single factor can make significant changes to the net results witnessed by a native.

It should be noted that in all these examples, running times of the strongest benefic planets may only bring out the optimum potential lying in the horoscope and they may not increase that optimum potential. It means that the planetary period of Jupiter at a relevant time may only bless the native with the post of a prime minister, if the overall horoscope shows this potential. However, if the overall horoscope shows an optimum potential of being a chief minister even when everything works at its best, the results may change.

The native in this case may become a chief minister when all the factors are working in his favor, he may become a minister when one of the factors like running time is not favorable; and he may not even become a minister, when most factors are not favorable for him at a given point in time. Similarly, if the optimum potential of a horoscope having Gaj Kesari Yoga shows the post of a minister in state government, the native may be able to reach this level only, even when everything is in order. He may not become a chief minister; even when everything is in his favor and Jupiter rules the running time.

Therefore, running times can only bring the best out of you; they can’t increase that best. The overall potential of every native is decided by the entire horoscope including the nature, strength, placement and combinations of various planets in various houses, signs and nakshatras. Hence this overall potential of a horoscope should be found first and then the percentage of such potential which may be available at a given point in time should be calculated, in order to check whether a particular result wanted by a native may or may not be achieved by him.

It means if a native having Gaj Kesari Yoga wants to be a chief minister, it should be first checked if his horoscope is capable of blessing him with this result, even when working at its best. If this calculation comes in his favor, then it should be checked whether the running time supports this result. If the running time is also supportive, he may achieve this post. However, if the running time is not supportive for this result for the next 10 years, he may become a chief minister; only after a period of ten years. On the other hand, if his overall horoscope is not capable of blessing him with the post of a chief minister; he may not achieve this post even when the best type of running time is in effect.

You see, how simple is the definition of Gaj Kesari Yoga in Vedic astrology, and how complex is the actual calculation of formation as well as results of this Yog? As there are billions of different people in this world, Vedic astrology should also have billions of possible combinations in a horoscope. This is because, if the science of astrology is absolutely true which it is; then each horoscope should be different from the other; just like the people having those horoscopes are different from each other.

Therefore, each and every aspect in a horoscope should be checked properly; before concluding the formation of Gaj Kesari Yoga in a horoscope or before predicting the type and quantum of results indicated by it.

What is Panch Mahapurash yoga in vedic kundali?

Panch Mahapurusha Yoga is an important combination in Vedic astrology.
This Yoga (combination) is formed due to specific positions(planets in exalted or own signs) of five different planets, combination of certain rashis(signs) and four bhavas (houses) in kendra(quadrant). This Yoga is created by any of the five different planets, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus
or Saturn. Each planet is having different characteristics and give results according to.
- The five Panch Mahapurusha Yogas (combinations) formed by five planets are known as: 1.Ruchaka, 2.Bhadra 3.Hamsa,4. Malavya and 5. Shasha Yoga.
[1] Ruchaka Yoga (Mars): Ruchaka yoga is formed when strong Mars is posited in one of the four houses,1st, 4th, 7th or 10th house(quadrant) from ascendant, in its own sign(Aries or Scorpio) or in exalted sign(Capricorn), in an individual’s astrological chart. The native will be wealthy,very famous,intelligent, full of enthusiasm and energy. A person born with Ruchaka Yoga will have graceful appearance, very attractive physique and impressive personality and he will be long lived. 
-Example: Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Sachin Tendulkar, Sania Mirza, Rahul Dravid

[2] Bhadra Yoga (Mercury): Mercury represents wisdom, intelligence, education, intellect, speech and business. Bhadra yoga is formed when strong Mercury is posited in one of the four houses, 1st ,4th ,7th or 10th house from ascendant, in its own sign(Gemini or Virgo) or exalted sign(Virgo), in an individual’s birth chart. The native will be tall, attractive, learned, intelligent, intellectual, wealthy, good orator,sharp-witted, helpful, majestic and very famous with a successful career, at an early age. He/she will be of lustful and self indulgent nature and live a luxurious and long life.
-Example: Lal Bahadur Shastri(Former PMO), Bill Gates, Elbert Einstein, Dr. Rajendraprasad

[3] Hamsa Yoga(Jupiter): Jupiter represents intellect, brilliance, education,discipline and spirituality. Hamsa yoga is formed when strong Jupiter is posited in one of the four houses,1st ,4th ,7th or 10th house from ascendant(lagna), in exalted sign(Cancer) or in its own sign(Sagittarius or Pisces),in a native’s birth chart. The person will have a sharp and elevated nose, good features with tall, handsome and attractive personality, he/she will be fair,very graceful, intelligent, intellectual, famous, wealthy, religious, studious, popular, charitable and gentle in nature. The native will have trouble with teeth, sometimes may be broken at an early age, if afflicted by malefic planets. A woman having Hamsa Yoga with non-afflicted and strong Jupiter, will be lucky for her husband or married life, as Jupiter represents husband in a woman’s birth chart, for example Madhuri Dikshit. The native will enjoy a long life. 
-Example: Jayalalitha, Madhuri Dikshit, Benjamin Franklin

[4] Malavya Yoga(Venus): Venus represents luxury, comfort and marital bliss. Malavya yoga is formed when Venus is posited in quadrantfrom ascendant(lagna), in one of four houses,1st ,4th 7thor 10th ,in its own sign(Taurus or Libra) or exalted sign(Pisces), in a person’s astrological birth chart. The native will have beautiful face with large eyes and very attractive personality. He/she will be famous, fortunate, own many vehicles and live a prosperous, luxurious and successful life. The native will be in contact with many women, in his life but this does not mean his character is questionable. If this combination (yoga) is afflicted by malefic planets, the native will have bad or unpredictable character. A native having Malavya Yoga, with strong Venus in his/her birth chart will get a very loving and supporting spouse, as Venus represents marital bliss, in a person’s birth chart. 
-Example: Pundit Jawaharlal Nehru, John F Kennedy, Mahatma Gandhi.

[5] Shasha Yoga(Saturn): Saturn represents sorrow, obstacles and adversity. Shasha yoga is formed when Saturn is posited in one of the four houses,1st ,4th ,7th or 10th house from ascendant, in its own sign(Capricorn or Aquarius) or exalted sign(Libra), in an individual’s astrological birth chart. The native will rise to a great height but the progress will be very slow and the life will not be without troubles. A person having Shasha Yoga with strong Saturn in his/her birth chart, being a deep thinker would positively implement the ideas to bring them to reality and successfully start a new venture. The native will be tall, good looking with attractive physique and will have many servants, factories and lead a prosperous and wealthy life. If this combination is afflicted by malefic planets, the person will be a bad character (may be even a robber). He will not hesitate in stealing or enjoying others' wealth. 
-Example: Jimmy Carter(Former U.S.A. President ), Margaret Thatcher.

P.S.- Having these Yogas altogether is very rare. Even an one of these Yogas is very hard to find.

SHARPIT DOSHA/YOGA

Shrapit Yoga is also called Shrapit Dosha. Literary meaning of the word "Shrapit" is somebody who is cursed. Talks on "Shrapit Yoga" seems to be increasing on Internet and the public is very much confused due to the lack of authentic information.

Shrapit Yoga is said to be formed when Saturn and Rahu are together in a single sign in a horoscope. Some astrologers also suggest that Saturn's aspect on Rahu also results in Shrapit Yoga. The result of the combination is told that the horoscope is cursed due to the deeds of the past life. It is suggested that even there are many good yogas in a horoscope, good results can not be obtained in the present birth, if "Shrapit Yoga" exists in the horoscope.

I have written about some of the similar doshas like Kaalsarpa Dosha  and my opinion is no different on this yoga. First of all there is no classical reference to this yoga. In my opinion, "Shrapit yoga" like "Kalsarpa yoga", is another factious yoga created by astrologers to make money. Scaring people is an easy way to make money and pundits very well know this fact. What a well chosen name "Shrapit Yoga" to scare people!!! Truly speaking there is nothing to fear about Shrapit Yoga.

In my opinion, a birth chart should be analyzed in totality and the results should be predicted by synthesizing various good and bad yogas in a horoscope. No single yoga can take control over the whole chart. We need to judge planets involved in the yoga and also see the strength of those planets. For example in the case of Shrapit Yoga, if Saturn and Rahu are well placed, why there will be any malefic affect?

Moreover, Rahu and Saturn are two friendly planets and the overall general result of the conjunction is positive rather than negative. This is simple Vedic astrology principle that two friendly planets go well with each other and give positive results.

In Lal Kitab, Saturn and Rahu together are called Nagmani (Snake's Jewel) and regarded to give positive results. In Lal Kitab, Saturn is taken as snake and Rahu as a Jewel which sucks snake’s poison.

According to the Nadi astrology, a person having this combination "amass money secretly even without knowledge of government (black money)". There are no malefic indications in Nadi as well.

Finally, Rahu stays for one and the half years in a sign and Saturn stays for two and the half years in a sign. So generally this combination stays for a long time. For example, you will find this combination in majority of horoscopes of the people born in year 1978/1979/1980. Are they all cursed? Was those years cursed? This is ridiculous. The astrologer who tells you that you have "Shrapit Yoga" and you have to perform costly remedies for Shrapit Yoga to get rid of its ill effect, please understand that the astrologer is a cheat and you need to look for a good knowledgeable astrologer. There will be pundits who will try to sell all kind of pooja, yantra and gems etc. to you. Beware of such cheat astrologers. I would again reiterate that there is nothing to fear about "Shrapit Dosha or Shrapit Yoga

GRAHAN YOGA

Grahan yoga by rahu

According to the name, people's fears so much and some astrologers making money from these terms, but no need to fear from name only. I am not denying these yoga`s just telling you to focus and properly understand this yoga.

Why I mentioned rahu because this is the biggest producer of these yoga's. Now I will tell you what type of yoga`s rahu makes and how its effects our life. You have a lot of question in your mind such as grahan yoga in particular house, rahu+sun grhan yoga or pitra dosha,Vish yoga, chandra grhan yoga, sun-rahu combination.

Firstly understand rahu-ketu involvement in such type yoga's. Reason is simple rahu-ketu existence only virtual. So it is expected they will take power where they are sitting, sign, nakshatra and most important conjunction of planet. This is the reason they are effecting most when they make union with our planet in certain conditions. As I already told you in rahu-ketu old article they perform well when they are alone and in Kendra (Rahu especially in 10th).

Most important points during prediction of grahan yoga:

  1) Conjunction with Sun-Moon, why they are creating grahan Yoga? Sun gives light  and moon gives moonlight(Chandni) and Rahu-ketu dark forces when involve with Sun & Moon then obviously positive impact of Sun and good light of Sun-Moon mean good fortune will be effected.

)     2) When any planet conjunct with rahu-ketu, then we can say grahan yoga. Some points I am giving you below. Please read carefully and remember when you are announcing these Yoga`s:

a)      When Rahu-ketu closely conjunct with other planet near 5 degrees then they are taking other planet power. And their effects we can see too much on particular house then graham yoga forms and they destroy particular planet effects.

b)      When they are in Nakshatra of sun-moon and sun moon are also bad in the chart and this yoga`s making in the 1,5^th and in 9^th then more negative impacts.

c)       When they are in Sign of sun-moon and sun-moon are also bad in the chart and this yoga`s making in the 1,5^th and in 9^th then more negative impacts.

d)      Other important point is which astrologer forget to see whenever Sun-moon weak in the D-1 and in D-9 if conjunction of Rahu-ketu with sun and moon then this yoga forms.

Now I will discuss with you Grahan yoga by rahu.

1)Rahu+Mars :   (Angarak yoga) bad yoga, with this yoga person always think about negativity and energy level will be decrease or you can say lazy and greedy person.

2)Rahu+Chandra : (Grahan Yoga) (pitra dosha when particular house) .This is the one of the worst yoga if forms in certain condition which I told above otherwise it can give huge name-fame.

3)Rahu+Jupiter  : (Guru-chandal yoga) ,Jupiter is our life saver when Jupiter will effected by rahu then person always involve in illegal activities, it depends in which house it placed. Extramarital and charter will be questionable if Jupiter heavily damage in 4^th ,7^th,and 8^th or 12^th.

4)Rahu+Surya  : (Pitra Dosha) Very bad combination (pitra dosha when particular house).Sun is our source of light if sun will afflicted then it direct effects our life. This is the reason this yoga most known bad yoga. But one positive point I want to tell you if above certain condition is there or Sun not afflicted by Rahu then this is one of he most powerful yoga for Politics, I saw this combination in some Indian politician. It gives sudden rise in politics or in govt.

5)Rahu+Venus :  Generally good for materialistic things but really very bad for some Women related  disease specially in lower part of women Ovary and other productive system .

6) Rahu+Shani  : (Shrapit Yoga) If badly placed. This is one of the biggest yoga. Why? Two most powerful plant of Kaliyug in same house.I found this combination very problematic for individual always uncertain evens happens in life.

7) Saturn+ Monn (Vish Yoga) Vish Yoga is formed when Saturn and Moon are together or when Sat aspects Moon.It is not a good yoga and person born under this yoga can do harm of persons represented by the house in which Saturn is placed

How to read horoscope/kundali for Marriage and Career

According to Me by doing horoscope matching (or horoscope compatibility for marriage) we can't guarantee to alter the destiny of the person concerned completely regarding married life, family life and childbirth. However we can only try to improve it up to such extent. If the destiny of the perosn concerned is observed to be good from the point of views of married life, family life and childbirth then that is fine. But even in that case checking of the horoscope of alliance is essential because the person concerned may has to suffer after the marriage due to the weakness of planets of the life partner. But if the planets of the client are coming out to be weak from the point of views of married life, family life and childbirth after doing analysis of his chart then we'll not be able to alter his/her destiny completely but we can only try to improve it by finding right alliance for him/her. But even in that case it has been observed that if a right alliance is found by the astrologer then the client may reject it because the alliance is not found to be physically appealing or the alliance may reject the client or both may reject each other. Usually it has been observed that altering destiny of a client is not that easy and can't take place without the bounty of the God. Frauds or mistakes by other party: - Also it has been observed that some time while doing matching of horoscopes the other party provides wrong birth details to hide the age of their son or daughter or in actual their birth details were not recorded properly at the time of their birth. In such a case astrologer can't do anything because after all he/she has to work only on the basis of the birth details of the alliance provided by the client. Sometimes other party also goes to some astrologer in an order to alter the birth details of their bachelor boy or girl in such a way so as to improve the planetary postions in their charts in such a way so that nobody can say no while considering their marriage proposal (lagna kundli matching or janam kundali matching). In such cases astrologers are also offered some extra amount of money for doing this dishonesty. This is being mentioned here because in past Dr.A.S.Kalra has himself received such requests many times from some clients where he simply and bluntly refused to work for such clients. As far as checking of a proposal or alliance (match) for marriage of some client is concerned (which is usually called as Janampatri matching or Janampatrika Milan), Dr.A.S.Kalra doesn't lays any emphasis on 36-Goon Milan (or 36-Guna Milan), Manglik Yoga, Nadi Dosha, Gana Dosha & Bhakut Dosha. According to Dr.A.S.Kalra instead of checking a proposal in this conventional way (which is actually a deep rooted superstition in Indian society) its better to analyze charts of both male & female from various point of views like married life, family life, childbirth, temperament, nature and behaviour etc. But unfortunately if some families believe in these concepts strongly and these deep rooted superstitions are present in their minds strongly since their early childhood (due to their elders practicing such concepts) then they will have no other choice but to use these concepts while doing compatibility analysis before marriage because otherwise they'll always remain in some fear that something wrong is going to take place after marriage and if something wrong actually take place after marriage due to some other astrological reasons or logics (like weakness in house of marriage, house of family life and house of childbirth as well as their lord planets or/and weakness of Venus in the chart of the husband or/and weakness of Mars in the chart of wife or/and due to dasha of some bad planet in the lives of any of the two) then in such a case such gullible people will blame it directly to Guna issue or Manglik issue or Bhakut issue or Gana issue or Nadi issue or they'll blame that the marriage was not done at right Muhurata. So we can't eradicate these deep rooted superstitons from the minds of such people. Even many celebrities in India have these deep rooted superstitions present in their minds. It can be a matter of chance only that some marriage ending up in a bitter divorce is having Manglik issue or Goon issue present in the charts of husband and wife. Actually the problem is present in the seventh house (house responsible for marriage and married life) or/and its lord planet or/and second house (house responsible for overall family life) or/and its lord planet or/and bad condition of Venus in the chart of husband or/and bad condition of Mars in the chart of wife. If problem is being observed regarding childbirth after marriage then it is not due to Nadi Dosha but actually it is due to the presence of fifth house (house responsible for childbirth or children) or/and its lord planet in some malefic influence. According to me charts of both the client as well as alliance have to be analyzed from the following point of views: - Seventh house (house responsible for love life and married life) and its lord planet should be analyzed.  Second house (house responsible for overall family life) should be analyzed. Fifth house (house responsible for childbirth and children) should be analyzed. Condition of Venus (responsible for women in a man's life) should be checked in the chart of boy or man.  Condition of Mars (responsible for men in a woman's life) should be checked in the chart of the girl or woman. Condition of Mercury should be analyzed as condition of Mercury indicates about communication skills and patience level in a person. Ongoing Antardashas and Mahadashas in the lives of both should be taken into consideration by analyzing their horoscopes. Because sometimes it has been observed that marriage done in dasha of some bad planet either in boy's or girl's life affects married life negatively. If charts of both are present in a good condition from the above mentioned point of views then automatically married life will be successful. However if charts of anyone or both are present weak from these point of views then naturally married life will be problematic. No one knows who gave concepts of 36-Goon Milan, Manglik Yoga, Nadi Dosha, Gana Dosha & Bhakut Dosha for birth chart compatibility (or birth chart love compatibility or birth chart marriage compatibility). These concepts are not part of ancient Indian Vedic Astrology and are not mentioned any where in Sage Parashara's scriptures (Note: - Sage Parashara is considered the father of predictive part of Indian Vedic Horoscope Astrology). In spite of doing a match using these concepts and tying a marital knot at some particular Muhurata, its seen quite often that marriages end up in a bitter divorce. If somebody wants to verify this then he should go straight to family court where cases of divorce are fought and he'll come to know the truth. So these concepts are not useful. Horoscope matching is not all... marriage is the other name of a set of compromises and a successful married life requires patience on the part of both husband and wife. Problems do not decrease after marriage but problems as well as responsibilities increase after getting married. But still people marry because living alone is also not that easy for everybody. In India many marriages are made successful due to the fear of society (what others will say?) as well as due to the fear of hassles involved in legal proceedings of a divorce case. In most of the cases marriage proves to be THE END of any love story & its not the beginning of any love story actually. There is no concept of divorce in Hindu or Sikh religions. According to these religions once a couple gets married only death can separate them apart. Concept of 'Talaaq' came into existence in India after Muslim rule taken place & concept of divorce came after English rule. In past some decades divorce has started taking place even in couples of Hindu or Sikh religions & in past two decades (since globalization has taken place in India) divorce rate has started increasing very rapidly... but its still less than 10% whereas in Western countries its more than 50%!!!... More the influence of western culture will come on Indian culture more will be the divorce rate in India. Success or failure of marriage also greatly depends upon mindset of both husband and wife. A western mindset of a husband or/and his wife will increase chances of divorce whereas an Indian mindset of a husband or/and his wife will increase chances of success of marriage. Astrology is not all.

How to read Horoscope for Career

/ How to read Kundli for Career

If malefic planets like Saturn, Mars, Rahu, Ketu or Sun are associated with the 5th house (house of education) in a person's chart then such person is found to have a technical bent of mind & is seen to be performing well in some Technology related career. If Venus is associated with fifth house in kundli then a person is seen to be performing well in career related to Life Sciences or Pharmacy or Arts. If Mercury is present in a strong condition in a chart then it gives good Communication skills, good Marketing ability & good Management skills. Person's having strong condition of Mercury in their charts can also plan to pursue Law or Commerce or Accounts as career or they can plan to start some business. Strong condition of Jupiter in a birth chart gives a person good teaching skills. For a good career growth tenth house & eleventh house as well as their lord planets should be present in a strong condition. If ninth house is also present in a good condition then it also helps a person greatly in achieving success. Presence of many planets in 8th house in kundli makes a person's mind analytical & such people can think deeply over matters & can conduct a research work in some subject & the subject may not always be related to Science & Technology but it can be related to Arts also like Sh. Amitabh Bachchan Is having four planets in 8th house & he is a natural PhD in acting field. Similarly philosopher Osho Rajneesh was having six planets in eighth house of his chart. In today's world for a good success in corporate world third house should also be present in a good condition. Third house in a chart is responsible for social contacts & friends. From third house ability to get along well with others is ascertained. People having good strength in third house of their chart maintain better relationship with their peers & boss & with subordinates which helps them to survive successfully in any organization & such people are not found to be getting affected much due to office politics or organizational politics. In today's world in spite of working hard and in spite of keeping a good knowledge of the subject & in spite of working honestly in a dedicated manner a person may observe hindrances in professional growth or career if he or she is vulnerable to organizational politics. Whereas some peole who do not work that harder or who do not have much knowledge of their subject or who do not work with much dedication are found to be achieving promotions rapidly because they maintain better relationship with their boss and they are good at handling office politics. Persons having strong condition of third house can also try their luck in army or police as third house is related to courage. They can try their luck in politics if line of fate in palm of their hand turns towards mount of Jupiter after crossing mind line or heart line. Thousands of years ago when Astrology came into existence in India there were hardly a dozen professions available. But in past two centuries since industrialization many other professions have emerged and in past more than 20 years since globalization every few years some new professions have been emerging & many more have yet to emerge in the time to come. Today if we try to make a list of various professions available in this world then it would be very tough for us to prepare such a list. People who ask from astrologers what would be the suitable profession for them do not know about each and every profession available in this world. Similarly the astrologers from whom such people ask this question also do not know about each and every profession present in this world. Today if some person visits ten different astrologers and asks such a question from them then chances are high that their answers would vary. According to me twin brothers having same horoscopes are not found to be entering same or similar professions. By analyzing a person's horoscope any precise answer can't be given in this regard as in which profession a person would excel. An astrologer can only predict when a person would observe good time related to career growth or when a person can start some new business or an astrologer can stop a person from starting some new business in some bad time phase (which means dasha of some weak planet). Astrologers can advice whether a person can start some business in partnership or not. According to me destiny is highly powerful and when appropriate time phase would begin in a person's life destiny will automatically push that person in some suitable field. Its just like highly successful actors like Amitabh Bachchan or Shahrukh Khan didn't enter acting line on the advice of some astrologer but their destiny pushed them into that line when appropriate time phase began in their lives. Similarly Sachin Tendulkar didn't enter Cricket on the advice of some astrologer. Similarly other highly successful people of world like Dhirubhai Ambani, Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Albert Einstein, Thomas A Edison, Barack Obama, Lata Mageshkar and many others didn't enter their chosen career on the advice of some astrologer. That is also a matter of destiny that everybody cannot achieve that height in their career what these people have accomplished and through their horoscope no astrologer could predict it earlier that these people would achieve such heights in their lives. Now as they have achieved great heights in their career so it is easy for astrologers to make connections with their planetary positions but the point is no astrologer could predict it earlier when these people were nobody. So the best solution is to leave it on time. Time will tell in which line a person will do well if doing well in some profession is present in his destiny. There are also many unfortunate people who cannot achieve success in any profession in their life time. Some people start achieving success in their career very late after completing 30 or 35 or 40 years of age. So its greatly a matter of destiny along with hard work.
