Bhrigu Samhita is an astrological classic written by Maharishi Bhrigu in the Vedic Period. This was the first treatise on predictive astrology which formed the basis for further research and analysis. This book is a concise version of the original Bhrigu Samhita. It is specially written to cater to the needs and interests of both laymen and experts. It provides valuable hints on how to find out the character of a native, his moral inclination, and his fortunes and misfortunes in various walks of life. It also imparts useful information with regard to longevity and prosperity of the native, his parents, brothers and children. Self-explanatory content well-segregated into various chapters would enable not only a professional astrologer, but also an amateur to predict with accuracy the future of the native and form an opinion as to how a planet is disposed in a particular nativity.

Basic Terminology and Case Studies Some Basics (Terminology) of the Planets A Few Case Studies Conclusion References AN EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK Uniqueness of Bhrigu Samhita Many of the books available on predictive astrology are neither easy enough to be understood by the general public nor fully satisfactory for the pundits. Therefore the primary view kept in this book is that because the mystery of the whole human life is hidden in the nine planets of a horoscope, it will not be possible to discuss the events of the whole life of the native till the effects of every planet is not clearly known. Without it, the complicated science of astrology cannot be simplified. It is with this understanding in the book that every ascendant has been treated with the placement of the planets in each of the 12 houses in a zodiacal diagram. Ist House: (Ascendant) Physique, will-power, fame, figure and physical complex IInd House: Finance, family, speech, treasure and bondage IIIrd House: Brothers and sisters, energy, physical work and courage IVth House: Mother, motherly relations, land and buildings, peace and happiness Vth House: Education, children, speech and knowledge VIth House: Enemies, diseases, diligence, occultism, maternal grandfather, defeats and victories VIIth House: Wife, diurnal occupation, father-in-law and his family, sexual pleasures VIIIth House: Wealth, age, daily routine, old and serious things helping in life, career and troubles IXth House: Destiny, Dharma, devotion, Divine power and fame Xth House: Father, government and society, occupation, splendour, sovereignty XIth House: Wealth, income and gains, fulfilment of necessities XIIth House: Expenditure, contact of foreign places, loss Important Observation Sometimes the ascendant is calculated wrongly due to the mistake of an hour or so in the birth time. But the same can be corrected in the given manner, though the mistake might have occurred due to wrong watches or wrong calculations by the ones casting the horoscope or due to the carelessness of parents to remember the exact time of birth. Take for example, if a person's lagna is Aquarius and the results are not tallying, you must correct the lagna as Capricorn and study the case. Also cast it as Pisces and study the results. The one that gives correct predictions should be taken as correct. So by permutations and combinations, you can get the correct lagna. Points to be borne in mind while casting the lagna 1. Aries lagna will be examined with the help of Pisces and Taurus. 2. Taurus lagna will be examined with the help of Aries and Gemini. 3. Gemini lagna will be examined with the help of Taurus and Cancer. 4. Cancer lagna will be examined with the help of Gemini and Leo. 5. Leo lagna will be examined by the help of Cancer and Virgo. 6. Virgo lagna will be examined with the help of Leo and Libra. 7. Libra lagna will be examined with the help of Virgo and Scorpio. 8. Scorpio lagna will be examined with the help of Libra and Sagittarius. 9. Sagittarius lagna will be examined with the help of Scorpio and Capricorn. 10. Capricorn lagna will be examined with the help of Sagittarius and Aquarius. 11. Aquarius lagna will be examined with the help of Capricorn and Pisces. 12. Pisces lagna will be examined with the help of Aquarius and Aries. Differences in the Charts of Men and Women The predictions in this book are applicable to the horoscopes of women in the same sense as they are applicable to the horoscopes of men with the only differences that (1) the predictions about wife in the male horoscope applies to the predictions about husband in the female horoscopes, and (2) the predictions about the occupations in the female's horoscope will apply to the husband. The events of the periods of life should be predicted through 'Vimsottari' and 'Antara dashas'. When in the horoscope of men, the Vimsottari Dasha is benefic, it is the period of outright progress of destiny. When between husband and wife, the dasha of one is good and that of the other is bad, it is the period of ordinary rise. Similarly, when both have malefic dashas the period is harmful. When there is the Antara of the best planet in the dasha, it is the most fortunate period.

How to Remove Doubts If in the horoscope of a native, a planet causes benefit about a particular matter and the other planets cause maleficence about the same matter, it should be understood that both the predictions would take place in the life though may be in any shape. The timings and shape of the event can change but the effects cannot be eliminated. The other point to be borne in mind is that it is the combined effect of all the nine planets which forms the life, nature and their features of human beings. Everybody should consider the decisions regarding his destiny through the combined effect of all these nine planets.
