Astronomy and astrology
It is necessary to have a working idea of how the astrologers scientifically convert the
astronomical planetary positions in to astrological charts. The astrological charts are
not some kind of mystic mumbo jumbo. They are the actual planetary positions in the
space at the time of your birth. It is briefly explained below. All pictures are actual
planetary positions as on 1-1-1999, 8:00 AM at New Delhi.

The above picture is how the planets look in the deep sky. The orbits of the planets
around the Sun and the constellations are superimposed. The picture below is how
we see the planets from the earth, as on 1-1-1999, 8:00 AM at New Delhi.

The picture bellow is a diagrammatic representation of the Earth and the other planets
in the space with the zodiac constellations marked, again as on 1-1-1999, 8:00 AM at
New Delhi.. From the Earth if we draw an imaginary yellow lines to all the other planets
and extend those lines to the zodiac sign behind them, we will end up with the picture
below which gives the zodiac positions of the planets as we see them in space. The
pictures of the planets used here are satellite pictures.

Vedic astrology lessons - astrology and astronomy
Follow the yellow lines drawn from the Earth through each planet and to the signs behind
each planet and you know in which constellations the various planets are placed. So,
when we talk about the planets placed in the various zodiac signs, we mean as we
see from the Earth - Saturn at the top is in the sign Aries, Moon is in Gemini, Jupiter in
Aquarius, Mercury in Scorpio, Venus in Capricorn and Mars in Virgo. Also note that it is
the 14th lunar phase in the bright half, very close to full moon, so the sun and the moon
are in opposite directions vis--vis the earth.

The picture bellow is how the chart of the planets in heaven would be drawn according to
Vedic astrology. The only difference is that instead of putting the pictures of the planets,
we write their names. The Ascendant or Lagna at Delhi is Sagittarius. The positions of
Rahu and ketu are hypothetically calculated.
The ephemeris, or the Panchang, give the exact degrees, minutes and seconds of the
planets and this information is normally give in your birth chart. You can learn more about
horoscope casting and the various types of charts in our lesson 3.

Free Astrology lessons
Welcome to free astro-lessons. Just about fifty years ago the average Indian knew
about his correct birth date and time, his lagna, his rasi, his birth nakshatra, about the
well placed and ill placed planets in his chart, about the dashas and transit effects and
the remedial measures he must undertake. They knew the basics of astrology and
how deep and vast it is. As a result they also knew how tough the job of an astrologer
is and used to have some respect for this ancient science and for its practitioners.
With the advent of the western education, slowly our own Vedic education got
eradicated. In computer language, first the files were deleted, then the folders were
emptied and now we are on the verge of wiping out the data banks of what was once
our basic knowledge! The result is that today majority of the Indians don't know a thing
about astrology, have a lot of misconceptions and blind beliefs, and when asked about
their birth time they ring their mom and she consults the birth certificate!
In this section you can learn, step by step, the basics of Indian Vedic astrology. Once
you go through these lessons, you will know the purpose with which our ancient Rishis
gave us this great science; how accurate their knowledge was and how the system
operates; to what extent it is applicable and effective; what all are the things based on
which a chart is analysed to give predictions; the difference between the Indian and
western astrology; about the planets, signs, houses and the nakshatras; how the
houses and the nakshatras are further sub divided; how their many fold strengths and
conditions (avasthas) are analysed in the Vedic astrology to fine-tune the predictions
about the nature and events in an individuals life; about the effects of various planets
placed in various signs and houses; about the existing shastras and their translations
and the controversies. You cannot become an astrologer and start giving predictions
after going through these basic lessons. But you will have a good sound idea and
grasp about the basics of our astrology.
Free library of astrology Sashtras: After learning the basics of Vedic astrology, if you
are still interested and want to learn the predictive principles and the finer points of
astrology, you are welcome to the Sashtras library. Chapter by chapter you can read
the principles of predictive astrology, given by the great Rishi Parashara, the father of
Vedic astrology, in his famous magnum opus Brihat Parashara Hora Sashtra, plus
several other major Sashtras - total 15 of the most famous ones! My intention is to
build a full astrology reference library of all the major Sashtras, which will serve as an
authentic reference source for those interested.

Introduction to Indian Vedic astrology
Indian astrology is popularly referred to as Vedic astrology. This is not because it is
there in the Vedas. There is no mention of astrology in the Vedas. However, it is one
of the Vedangas, i.e., limb or branch of Vedas, and dates back to the Vedic period.
Several of the Poojas and remedial measures prescribed in the Indian astrology are
as per the Vedic system. Hence, it is called Vedic astrology.
The Vedangas are six in number. They are: Siksha or phonetics, Kalpa or ritual,
Vyakarana or grammar, Nirukta or etymology, Chhandas or metrics and Jyotishya or
astronomy and astrology. These are mentioned in the Upanishads.
It is impossible ascertain the exact time of origin of our astrology. Even the most
famous historians differ wildly, from 1200 BC to 2500 BC while trying to fix our Vedic
period. A lot of them, especially the westerners, still study India based on the
Mahenjadaro and Harappan discoveries, which were discovered in the 1920s!!
Several archeological discoveries of recent times date our culture to 7500 BC, making
it the ancient most civilization in the world. Our astrology has details of the horoscopes
of Lord Krishna, Lord Rama and many other ancient Indian kings and queens,
recorded thousands of years ago. The Bhishma Parva and Udyoga Parva chapters of
Mahabharata mention many astrological descriptions and omens just before the
Mahabharata war. It also describes a period of draught with several planetary
combinations. There is also a very clear reference about two eclipses, a solar eclipse
and a lunar eclipse occurring, creating a rare 13 day lunar fortnight. Available scientific
research data shows that the Mahabharata war must have occurred either in 3129 BC
or 2559 BC. According to the Hindu Panchangas, maintained from ages, Kaliyuga era
is counted from February 17/18 midnight 3102 BC. Hindu epics like Mahabharata and
Ramayana have been written off as myths by the western historians. However the
recent discovery of the submerged ancient city Dwaraka, (the site of the legendary city
of Lord Krishna, which got submerged in the sea after the death of Lord Krishna), led
by Dr. S.R. Rao of the Marine Archaeology Unit of the National Institute of
Oceanography of India lends a lot of credence to our mythology. Various texts
attribute the origin of Indian astrology to various gods and Rishis. It is futile to
ascertain who was the originator. The most popularly followed astrological classics
today are the ones written by Rishis like Parashara, Varahamihira, Garga, Jaimini and
their followers. People in those days had no satellites or telescopes and yet the
planetary positions and their motions recorded by them are as accurate as the
planetary positions and degrees recorded today using the space satellites. Our
ancient astrologers used their divine intuition to record these planetary movements
and their effects on us.
Astrology has a twofold purpose. On one hand it is used as a tool to select the right
month the right date and the right time to start various auspicious rites and rituals so
that the results are better. On the other hand it is used as a guide to study the destiny
of an individual.
Indian astrology is based on the theory of fate. The good and the bad actions of the
past life determine your fate or Karma of your present life, and the actions of your
present life determine your future Karma. According to Indian astrology a person is
born at that place, on that day and on that moment when his individual fate is in
perfect mathematical harmony with the progress of the stars in heaven. However it
does not preach total dependence on fate. Astrology lets you know what you were
born with, what your possibilities are, the limitations, your strong points and your
drawbacks. What type of life partners and professions suit you and to expect is also
indicated. It also prescribes various remedial measures to ward off the bad effects and
to enhance the good results. Astrology is your roadmap of destiny. However your fate
is in your hands. The scriptures guide us by telling us what is good and what is bad;

Introduction to Indian Vedic astrology - astrojyoti.com by astrologer S.P.Tata
what to do and what not to do; how to do and how not to do. You are given a piece of
land and the seeds to sow. How much effort to put in to it, what amount of manure and
water to add and when how to reap the produce is your job. After that it is you who
have to act using your knowledge intelligence, discrimination and experience. Fate is
like a game of cards where you cannot help the cards that have been dealt to you but
how to play them is in your hands. You may get good cards but if you play badly you
will lose and you may get bad cards and still may win if you play carefully. Dont blame
the roadmap if you get drunk, drive badly and have an accident! In the Mahabharata
Lord Krishna gave advise to Arjuna and also to Duryodhana. One listened and the
other did not!
In the Egyptian, Greek, western and Chinese systems of astrology only the birth chart
is cast to give predictions. This is hopelessly inaccurate and insufficient. For example,
moon, the fastest moving of the nine planets, remains in one sign fro two and half
days. The ascendant, or Lagna, extends for a period of two hours. In these two hours,
according to the present birth rate, several thousand people are born in the world with
the same birth chart! All of them cannot have the same destiny. Hence their
predictions based on this and the monthly transits tends to be inaccurate. They are
somewhat accurate about the nature of signs etc., but when it comes to predicting the
events in ones life and their timing they are nowhere. You dont really need an
astrologer to tell you that, for example if you are Scorpio sign, you tend to be jealous
and possessive! Vedic astrology has a four dimensional approach.
Firstly, we have the divisional chart system, called the Varga system. Based on the
planetary degrees at the time of birth, sixteen divisional charts are prepared, by
dividing the degrees of the planets. These divisional charts are studied to ascertain
the strength and weakness of planets and houses and also to study various aspects of
ones life. For example, one-ninth division called Navamsa to study spouse and
married life, one-tenth division to study profession, one-seventh for children and so on.
The last Varga, called Shodashamsa, is prepared by dividing the planets degrees in
to one-sixtieth part! Second is the dasa system. Based on ones moons degrees at
birth, we calculate the Dasas, or the ruling periods of various planets, which keeps
changing during ones life. It is not just one planets dasa but Maha dasa, or main dasa,
of a planet, Antardasa, or sub period, of another planet and so on till we arrive at a
fifth level dasa to study each day.
Third is the Gochara, or transit of planets. Planets transiting various houses produce
various results. But a planet transits a sign for quite some time. For example Saturn
transits a sign for two and half years. During this entire period its results cannot be
totally good or bad. Vedic astrology further pinpoints its good and bad periods even
during its transit in one sign. We have the Asthakavarga and Prastharasthakavarga
system, which divides a planets transit in a sign into eight parts and shows which part
is good and which part is bad.
Lastly, there is the Prasna Kundali system, or chart cast based on the time of the
query. This is studied as an add-on chart to give predictions.
The modern scientists do not accept astrology. But it is a known fact that planets do
have their effects on us. The doctors of almost all mental asylums accept the fact that
during the full moon and the new Moon periods the mental patients behave erratically.
The police record the same effects on many criminals. The modern scientists know
some of the effects of the ultraviolet rays, gamma rays and beta rays of the planets.
But unfortunately they dont have the divine wisdom of our ancient is to know all the
effects fully.

Lesson 1: The purpose & the division of the Zodiac
The ancient Hindu way of life, based on the Karma theory, looked at the progress of
the human soul based on three essential macroscopic parameters. They are: The
Karma acquired from your past life, the karma you acquire by virtue of your actions in
your present life and based on these your future life. They classified our present life
into four broad aspects. Dharma or right living, Artha or the monetary aspect, Kama or
the desires and finally Moksha or spiritual progress and liberation. They recognized
the importance of balancing these four aspects of life for the proper progress. To
understand and improve all these four aspects they gave us various Shastras. The
Veda shastras for spiritual progress, the Dharma and Nyaya shastras for the legal and
social conduct, the Artha ( finance), Ganita (mathematics), Vanijya (trade) shastras for
earning money, Sangeeta (music) Nritya (dance) Shilpa (art) Kama (sex) Paka
(cooking) shastras for pleasure. Finally the Jyotishya ( Jyoti=light+ Isha=God meaning
the light of God to remove ignorance) was given to us as a guide, to get the best
results during the most suitable times, in each of the above four areas of life. The
entire basis and theology of our astrology is based on these principles.
The Division of the Zodiac:
From the astrological point of view, for the purpose of charting the planetary positions
and calculations etc, the 360 degrees of the zodiac was divided into 12 equal parts,
called Rasi or sign, of 30 degrees each. This is the 1st basic division. In the Vedic
astrology there are 9 Grahas or planets which influence our lives. Out of these seven -
the Sun, the Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, and Saturn - are actual heavenly
bodies. The other two - Rahu and Ketu - are shadowy planets whose positions are
calculated mathematically. Vedic astrology ignores Neptune, Uranus, and Pluto.
These 9 planets own certain rasis, represent several things in our life, have several
inherent qualities and influence certain facets of our life. It all depends on how these
planets are placed and in which rasis they are placed. Let us understand these basics
first.
The names of the 12 Rasis (Zodiac signs) in their natural order and their rulers:
1. Aries or Mesha is ruled by Mars.It extends from 00:00 degrees to 30:00' in the
zodiac.
2. Taurus or Vrishabha is ruled by Venus. It extends from 30:00 degrees to 60:00'
3. Gemini or Mithuna is ruled by Mercury. It extends from 60:00 degrees to 90:00'
4. Cancer or Karka is ruled by the Moon. It extends from 90:00 degrees to 120:00'
5. Leo or Simha is ruled by the Sun. It extends from 120:00 degrees to 150:00'
6. Virgo or Kanya is ruled by Mercury. It extends from 150:00 degrees to 180:00'
7. Libra or Tula is ruled by Venus. It extends from 180:00 degrees to 210:00'
8. Scorpio or Vrischika is ruled by Mars. It extends from 210:00 degrees to 240:00'
9. Sagittarius or Dhanu is ruled by Jupiter. It extends from 240:00 degrees to 270:00'
10. Capricorn or Makara is ruled by Saturn. It extends from 270:00 degrees to 300:00'
11. Aquarius or Kumbha is ruled by Saturn. It extends from 300:00 degrees to 330:00'
12. Pisces or Meena is ruled by Jupiter. It extends from 330:00 degrees to 360:00'
So it is clear that the sun and the moon own one house each and all the other 5
planets own 2 houses each. Rahu and Ketu do not own any houses.
The rasis are further divided into several categories. The categories are:
The Trikona or Triangular groups.

municipality and drainage works. A well placed Saturn can bestow excellent power,
prestige, name and fame and a badly placed Saturn can devastate you. Its metal is
iron, color is blue, gem is blue sapphire and direction is west.
Saturn is the slowest moving of the 9 planets and takes approximately 2-1/2 years to
transit a sign and completes the round of the zodiac in 30 years. He is the
Udyogakaraka or planet connected with profession.
Rahu or Dragons Head or North Node represents, foreigners, foreign countries,
foreign travel, engineering and the technical trades, smoke, old men, grand parents,
theft, gambling, drinking, nonconformists, the underworld and the bad elements in the
society. Its color is black, metal mixed-metal and gem is Gomedh.
Rahu takes approximately 1-1/2 years to travel a sign and hence completes the round
of the zodiac in 18 years.
Ketu or Dragons Tail or South Node represents grand parents, technical trades,
spiritual inclinations, superstitions and electronics. Its colour is brown and gem is cat's
eye.
Ketu is always in the opposite sign to Rahu, i.e., exactly 180 degrees away. Ketu also
takes approximately 1-1/2 years to travel a sign and hence completes the round of the
zodiac in 18 years.
Each of these 9 planets produce different results, and at times totally opposite results,
while placed in the 12 different rasis. Again each has some good results and some
bad results in each sign. This is an important aspect of astrology which must be
remembered. You will learn about these results later.
While placed at various specific distances from the sun, the planets Mars, Mercury,
Jupiter, Venus and Saturn become retrograde or appear to move in the backward
direction. Sun and moon do not have any retrograde motion. The motion of Rahu and
Ketu is always opposite to that of the other planets.
The seven main planets rule the seven days of the week.
Sun rules Sunday.
Moon rules Monday.
Mars rules Tuesday.
Mercury rules Wednesday.
Jupiter rules Thursday.
Venus rules Friday.
Saturn rules Saturday.
Rahu and Ketu do not rule any day
Normally while referring to the qualities etc of the planets, they are referred to in this
sequence, i.e., sun to saturn in the week day sequence. Remember this important fact.

The Nakshatras or Star constellations
First the zodiac was divided into 12 main rasis, to study the effects of the planets
placed there. Then the ancient seers added another sub divisional system of breaking
down the zodiac into 27 Nakshatras or star constellations. Each nakshatra has a span
of 13 degrees and 20 minutes. After that each nakshatra was further subdivided into 4
Padas, or quarters, of 3 degrees and 20 minutes. Hence the first zodiac sign Aries,
which has 30 degrees, contains the entire 4 padas (13:20') of the 1st star constellation
Ashwini, the entire 4 padas (13:20') of the 2nd star constellation Bharani and the 1st
pada (3:20') of the third star constellation Krittika. So each rasi contains total 9 padas.
These nakshatras belong to three main groups: Deva or divine, Manusha or human
and Rakshasa or Demonic. They have different ruling deities, owned by different
planets and have divergent qualities. Hence while studying the effects of a planet
placed in Aries, it is also studied in which nakshatra it is placed and in which pada of
that nakshatra it is placed. This system of analysis exists only in Indian astrology.
The nakshatra in which your moon is placed at the time of your birth is called your
Janma Nakshatra. This janma nakshatra has also got its influence on you.
The following table shows the names of the 27 nakshatras in their zodiacal order.

Arudra nakshatra
Arudra nakshatra (Betelgeuse) In Mithuna from 6:40 to 20:00. The presiding deity the
Rudra, the wielder of the trident. Symbol- a teardrop. The lord of Arudra is Budha, when
Surya enters Arudra the earth is said to be starting its menstrual course that is Ambobachi.
Arudra means wet or surcharged with water, that is fat. Because the earth is running her
menstrual course there are teardrops falling one after another. From Rudra comes all
suffering, persecutions and oppressions, anger, ferocity of countenance or hideousness of
noise. Rudra is another name of Siva, the Five Faced (Panchanana). In knowledge,
asceticism, renunciation, as also in enjoyment, he is the supreme consummation of all
desires. He is a blue-throated one, the wielder of the most tremendous powers, what could
not be attempted far less achieved by other Gods, when the churned Ocean at the time of
Samudra Manthan exhaled poison Siva achieved quite simply by holding the exhalation in
his throat. On one side he is the symbol of the most perfect placidity and serenity, on the
other hand he is the symbol of all that is terrible. He holds the great serpent on his head
and on his forehead crescent Chandra with his sweet-soft light. He is at the same time the
most peaceful and also the most terrible. And in all these are to be traced the intrinsic
characteristics of Arudra. Superficially, on the surface of it, Arudra stands for suffering,
hardness, cruelty, murder, prison, theft, adultery etc. The root characteristic is oppression-
in order to purify. All male kidney trouble and connected urethral disease comes within the
jurisdiction of Arudra; so also uterine diseases of the female. It represents the skull of
Kalapurusha with hair on it.
Those born in the Ardra star are soft, stable minded, strong, earning by sacrifice, afflicted
by sickness, fear and angry. They suffer due to hunger, hard bodied, lovable, forget the
help rendered by others, experts in trade and commerce, cruel, having many relatives, ill
advisers and hate all. Those born in Ardra are with pride, of lower levels and do jobs, which
are forbidden. They are bereft of money and corns. Such people are poets, little learned,
long lived, and little interested in things.

Your Birth Star or Nakshatra
The Ancient Rishis divided the 360 degree zodiac into 12 houses of 30 degrees each
and further subdivided it into 27 Nakshatras or star-constellations of 13.20 degrees
each. These Nakshatras are further subdivided into four quarters each called Pada.
The placement of a planet in these divisions and subdivisions was studied to fine tune
the predictions.
The nakshatra in which your moon is placed in your birth chart is called your Janma
Nakshatra. The following are some of the basic characteristics of a person born in
various Nakshatras. However these get modified based on the other planetary
conditions in ones chart.

Your 5 Astro-signs Your 4 Love-sign Match Weekly Forecast Free Question How is today
Love and compatibility of Sun signs
Before you start jumping to any conclusions, let me tell you that for marriage purpose
both the horoscopes must be thoroughly matched by an experienced astrologer. This
is done based on the planetary combinations of the ascendant or lagna, all the 9
planets, the nakshatra or birth star based koota/guna matching, mangala dosha and
also the navamsa charts matching. Marriage is a life long association and must be
taken seriously.
However to get a rough general idea you can check the matching of the Five Astro-
signs - the sun sign, the rasi or moon sign, the lagna or ascendant and the nakshatra
based koota/guna matching and also the Chinese sign.
You can know all your above 5 Astro-signs by > clicking here
The zodiac signs are divided into several categories as follows:
The Trikona or Triangular groups.
The 1st triangle formed by Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius are Agni-Tatwa or Fire signs.
They are active, aggressive, adventurous and dominating by nature and are good
leaders and administrators. These signs, and people with these signs strong, have the
Dharma aspect predominant.
The 2nd triangle formed by Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn are Bhu-Tatwa or Earth
signs. They are down to earth, practical and careful by nature and have a good sense
of money. These signs, and people with these signs strong, have the Artha aspect
predominant.
The 3rd triangle formed by Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius are Vayu-Tatwa or Air signs.
They are intelligent, carefree, jovial and social by nature and enjoy life more than the
other signs. These signs, and people with these signs strong, have the Kama aspect
predominant.
The 4th triangle formed by Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces are Jala-Tatwa or Water signs.
They are emotional, sensitive, romantic, artistic, nature loving and spiritual by nature.
These signs, and people with these signs strong, have the Moksha aspect
predominant.
2. The Kendra or Quadrangular groups
Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn forming the 1st quadrangle are Chara or Movable
rasis. They are active by nature, like change and direct in their approach. Normally
people with chara rasis dominating in the birth chart travel a lot.
Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius forming the 2nd quadrangle are Sthira or Fixed
rasis. They take their time to act, do not like change, and have a fixed views and ways
of doing things.
Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces forming the 3rd quadrangle are Dwichara or
Dual rasis. They are very intelligent and like exploring new ways and theories.
ARIES/ARIES:
You are both of extreme nature. Both love freedom and adventure and are
uncompromising in your behavior. You could either be very happy together or
separate. There is no compromise with you. Being headstrong, there are bound to be

finance and household affairs. Let Aries decide on the social aspects of life. You are

through the practical nature of Taurus. And will cherish the happy-go-lucky attitude of

will have more secrets.

tolerate each other.Cancer is a good house-keeper.Aries a charming entertainer.Aries
may at times consider Cancer a bit dull and boring, ,whereas Cancer would think Aries
is childlike and too flippant.But their differences remain under the surface and there's
rarely a showdown.Aries will always be the one to quarrel,and later apologise.But
should Cancer feel let down in any manner this could spell disaster.Cancer does not
break a relationship easily but cannot take flirting of their mate.Together, they can
make it work beautifully.
ARIES/LEO:
This is a love-relationship. Both will respect each other's views, likes and dislikes.

Your love and marriage compatibility with sun signs - astrojyoti.com by astrologer S.P.Tata
Aries will accept total loyalty from Libra, Aries will not give up his/her freedom. Aries
idiosyncrasies can at times be exasperating, but Libra has enough tolerance. These
are two opposite signs which compliment each other. There is great understanding
and rapport. Both indulge in mild flirtation, but both have to be cautious that none gets
seriously entangled elsewhere. Romantic escapades can cause a rift in this
relationship.
ARIES/SCORPIO:
Here is a couple drawn together with physical attraction and strong desires. Both are
madly in love and possessive. Scorpio rarely lets Aries enjoy total freedom. Aries can,
at times, feel restrained but accepts the situation, due to family or other
considerations. Aries love Scorpio. Aries will give total freedom to Scorpio in matters
of household and family welfare. Scorpio will be more extravagant than Aries, and this
could cause problems. Scorpio does tease Aries in love-play, but both equally relish
their togetherness.
ARIES/SAGITTARIUS:
This is yet another compatible combination. They both love and respect each other.
Sagittarius could at times be misunderstood by Aries. Being a quiet person,
Sagittarius finds it difficult to express his/her inner feelings to Aries. And this is taken
for being cold and being less responsive by Aries. Sagittarius is fond of cleanliness,
and Aries is a bit more carefree in attitude. Aries likes to relax and laze around at
home on a holiday, but Sagittarius to clean and tidy up the house. There are times
when Aries deliberately stays out of the house to be away from domestic hassles.
ARIES/CAPRICORN:
Traditionally, this could be an ill-matched combination. The fiery Aries and a staid
Capricorn, have nothing in common. But in this relationship, Aries show a lot of
warmth and understanding. Capricorn will not have much to complain, except the
extravagance of Aries. Capricorn tends to monetary affairs and could neglect
household duties. Even Aries may not pay much attention to home and family. In this
relationship, children could suffer due to neglect. Even physically there's a lot of
disparity. There is a vast age difference between the two of you, or then you could be
poles apart.
ARIES/AQUARIUS:
A friendly combination. Aries gets along well with Aquarius, who simply adores Aries.
They both have similar views on life. Aquarians tend to be more philosophic and
accepts the idiosyncrasies of the Aries mate. Aries on the other hand, loves the
attention and care shown by the Aquarian. This is a compatible combination. The
sunny disposition of Aries helps Aquarius to face the vicissitudes of life. And when the
Arian, being inconsistent by nature, keeps jumping from one interest to another, it is
the stable Aquarian who restrains Aries.
ARIES/PISCES:
These are strange bedfellows. They admire, love and sometimes, hate each other.
Piscean the dreamer, sees the fulfillment of his/her desires in an Aries-born. Pisces
will always try to calm down the fiery temperament of Aries, and will not always
succeed. Aries loves the sense of belongings towards a Piscean. Though sometimes
Aries could be rough and cruel towards their Piscean mate.
TAURUS/TAURUS:
Here are the two bulls locking their horns. They have a lot of differences to sort out
before deciding to live and let live. They can get along well only after a lot of give and
take. And once they settle down in their relationship, none can part them. They make

Lesson 3
How a horoscope is cast and the four types of chart styles
Before learning about the other aspects of astrology, you must now learn about how a
horoscope is cast and how to read it. We are not going into the teaching of the
complicated mathematical aspects of calculating the planetary positions, lagna etc.
Now a days even the astrologers depend on the computerised software. From the
practical point of view of learning the basics, you only need to know how the birth
chart is cast and how to read and understand it.
The horoscope is the picture of the heavens at the time of ones birth. It shows in
which rasis, or signs, the 9 planets are positioned. It also shows another important
aspect of astrology called the Lagna or the Ascendant. It plays a major role in
analyzing an individuals life. The ascendant is calculated based on your place and
time of birth and varies from place to place. This is because of the difference in
latitude and longitude and the sun rise time. Lagna is called your individual 1st house.
It must be noted that the lagna may fall in any of the 12 rasis. The counting of your
individual houses is always done from the lagna. You will learn about the houses and
their importance in the next lesson.
The position of the planets on any given day and time is calculated from the
ephemeris, called Panchang, and the horoscopes are made accordingly. It is not
some kind of a mystic charting of planetary names in a chart. To get a better
understanding of the scientific basis of this click here
Difference in measuring the planetary positions - Vedic vs. Western astrology
Vedic Astrology follows the Niryana or the sidereal zodiac, where as the Western
Astrology follows the Sayana or the tropical zodiac. Its a highly complicated
astronomical subject. Briefly the fundas are as follows.
If you see the standard globe of the earth placed on a table, you will notice that the
north and the south poles are not exactly vertically up and down but tilting at an angle.
the north pole is shifting or tilting, fraction by fraction, to the east - towards the sun.
The shift or tilt is approximately one degree per every 72 years. This is a scientifically
proven fact. This is happening because of the spinning of the earth along its axis from
west to east. To give you a practical example it happens just the way the ball
"swerves" in games like cricket, tennis or Table Tennis when you impart a sideways
spin. This difference between the longitudes of the starting points of the sidereal and
tropical zodiacs is called Ayanamsha. The starting points of the sidereal and tropical
zodiacs coincides once in every 25,800 years approximately. According to accurate
scientific calculations, in the present shift started in the year 285 AD. The most
accurate method of calculating this ayanamsa is the Chitrapaksha ayanamsa,
popularly called Lahiri Ayanamsa. As on today, 14-4-2003, the tilt is exactly 23:53':55".

Vedic astrology lessons - casting a horoscope
The ayanamsa calculations of the Greeks like Hippocras and Ptolemy were wrong.
The western scientists are officially "credited" with the "discovery" of the accurate
shifting of the earths equinox towards the end of the 19th century. They found it to be
50". It was actually known to the Hindu astrologers long before that. Varahamihira, the
famous astrologer in the court of Vikramaditya in the year 57BC, clearly mentioned in
his work Pancha Siddhantika, based on our ancient Siddhantas, that the ayanamsa is
50.32 seconds. This is the most accurate one.
In Vedic astrology the planetary positions are calculated after applying the ayanamsa
calculations and get the scientifically accurate bearing of the planets vis--vis earths
position. In western astrology this is not done. Hence all their planets, including the
much advertised "Sun signs" are about 24 degrees ahead - as per the equinox
position of 285 AD!!
The four types of charting styles.
In India the astrologers follow different methods of casting a chart. There are mainly
four methods of casting the charts. They are explained bellow.
South Indian method: In the south Indian style of casting a chart, the position of the
zodiacal signs, from Aries to Pisces always remains fixed, as shown in the picture
below left. The counting of the houses and the positioning of the planets is done
clockwise, as shown in the picture below right. This changes from individual chart to
chart. So it can be said that the south style chart follows the fixed sign method. The
sign which becomes the ascendant or lagna is marked with the words As or Asc or
Lagna. In some cases astrologers also draw two parallel lines at the top corner of the
ascendant, the way we cross a bank cheque, to mark the ascendant
The South Indian Style
The data given in the table to the right below, shows the ascendant and the 9 planets
in the 1st column, their exact degrees in the 2nd column, the rasi in which they are
placed in the third column, the nakshatra in which they are placed in the 4th column
and the nakshatra pada in the last column. The birth chart is made placing the planets
in those houses. The positioning of the planets and the ascendant is as follows.
Ascendant or Lagna: In Vrischika or Scorpio
Sun : In Vrishabha or Taurus
Moon: In Kumbha or Aquarius
Mars: In Mithuna or Gemini
Mercury: In Mesha or Aries
Jupiter: In Tula or Libra

http://astrojyoti.com/lesson3.htm (2 of 4)9/19/2006 1:16:18 PM
Vedic astrology lessons - casting a horoscope
Venus: In Mithuna or Gemini
Saturn: In Mesha or Aries
Rahu: In Kumbha or Aquarius
Ketu: In Simha or Leo
Please note:
The sign in which the moon is placed is called Janma Rasi or moon sign. In this case
the janma rasi is Kumbha or Aquarius.
The nakshatra in which the moon is placed in the birth chart in called Janma
Nakshatra. In this case the janma nakshatra is Satabhistha 1st quarter.
As obvious in this chart the lagna is Vrischika, moon and rahu are in the 4th house
counted from lagna, Mercury and Saturn are in the 6th house from lagna, Sun is in the
7th house, Mars and Venus are in the 8th house, Ketu is in the 10th house and Jupiter
is in the 12th house.
North Indian Style

North Indian method: In the north Indian method of casting the chart, as in the above
example, the ascendant or lagna is always kept at the top center and the signs are
denoted by their zodiacal sequence number, i.e., Aries is 1, Taurus is 2, Gemini 3,
Cancer 4, Leo 5, Virgo 6, Libra 7, Scorpio 8, Sagittarius 9, Capricorn 10, Aquarius 11
and Pisces 12. Here the charting of the houses and the planets is anti-clockwise. In
the above demonstration the same chart with the same planetary positions is shown.
The lagna is Vrischika and denoted by the sign number 8 and placed at the top center.
The planets are placed in the same houses, but charted in the anti-clockwise fashion.
For example sun is in Vrishabha or Taurus which is the zodiac house number 2. So
we can say that the northern chart chart follows the fixed house method.
East Indian or Maithili method: This type of chart, which is popular in Andhra
Pradesh and parts of Orissa and Bengal, is drawn differently and follows the fixed sign
method of the south style chart, but the charting is done anti-clockwise as shown in
the picture bellow.

The circular chart: It is the same as the northern chart in every respect but drawn in
a circular fashion as shown below.

Lesson 4
The twelve Bhavas or Houses
An individuals horoscope is divided into 12 Bhavas or houses, based on the position
of ones lagna in the chart. The nature and qualities of the rasis, planets and the
nakshatras explained so far are their basic inherent qualities. Once a persons chart is
analyzed from the lagna point of view, based on the way these planets and rasis are
placed from lagna, gives them a personal touch and helps us to understand the
various aspects and events of ones life.
The sign in which your lagna or ascendant is placed becomes your 1st house. The
sign next to that (clockwise in the south chart and anticlockwise in a north chart),
becomes your 2nd house. The one next to that is your 3rd house and so on till the
12th house.
The 1st, 5th, and 9th houses are called Trikonas or trine houses. They are the most
powerful and auspicious houses. They are also called Lakshmi sthanas as the rule all
kinds of prosperities.
The 1st, 4th, 7th, and 10th houses are called Kendras or quadrants. They are also
auspicious and powerful houses next to the konas.
The 3rd and the 11th houses are called Upachayas or houses of growth.
The 6th, 8th, and 12 houses are called Dusthanas or bad houses.
1, 5, and 9 are Dharma houses.
2, 6, and 10 are Artha houses.
3, 7, and 11 are Kama houses.
4, 8, and 12 are Moksha houses.
The 12 houses and what they signify and represent in your life.
The First house or Lagna called Tanu sthana, represents your birth, body looks and
soul, personality traits and inclinations, longevity, health, character and nature. It also
rules your head the head, longevity, health, character and nature of the native. It is a
kendra a trikona and Dharma bhava, and it is at the same time . It is one of the most
important and auspicious house in the horoscope.
If you don't know your Lagna click here to use onsite instant calculator
The Second house called Dhana sthana, represents your wealth, speech, family,
face, right eye, mouth and the food you eat and charity and death.
The Third house called Bhatru sthana represents your younger brothers and sisters,
courage, servants and subordinates, communications, talents and skills, sports,
business, short distance travels.
The Fourth bhava called Matru sthana, represents mother, home, relatives, office or
factory, emotions, domestic and house related happiness, landed property and

Vedic astrology lessons - the zodiac
The Fifth house called Putra sthana, represents children, education and intellect,
creativity, mantra, tantra and pooja.
The Sixth house called Shatru sthana, represents health, illness, injuries, loans,
sports, maternal uncle, enemies and opposition.
The Seventh house called Kalatra sthana, represents spouse, sex life, reproduction
and genital organs, partners, enjoyments and Kundalini shakti and death.
The Eight house called Ayu sthana, represents destruction, accidents, physical
pains, inheritance, legacies, death and insurance.
The Ninth house called bhagya sthana, represents luck, prosperity, guru, father,
religious and spiritual progress and knowledge of the scriptures, sadhana,
pilgrimages, foreign travel and foreign trade, grandchildren.
The Tenth house represents your profession, business, authority and power and
honours and achievements.
The Eleventh house represents gains and income, good news, money, elder
brothers and sisters, friends, long distance travels, air lines and entertainment.
The Twelfth house represents losses, waste, expenses, foreign countries,
imprisonment, death, sadhana and Moksha or final liberation.
Each of the 9 different planets, while placed in the 12 different houses, produce
different, and at times totally opposite results. Again each of them produce some good
results and some bad results. Remember this important fact.
As there are 12 houses and only 9 planets, there will always be some vacant houses.
In most horoscopes there are more than one planet in a house. The lords of the rasis
as mentioned earlier in lesson 1, i.e., Mars for Aries, Venus for Taurus etc., become
the lords of your houses falling in those rasis. Which house lord is placed in which
house is a very important factor. Again each house lord placed in the other houses
has some good results and some bad. Again because of the dual ownership rasis by
planets, a planet placed in a particular house as lord of one house may be good, but
bad as lord of the other house.
This is the third important parameter to remember.
Let us see the example horoscope to make things clear.
Remember the house counting is done from the lagna, which is the 1st house.
South Indian - Count clockwise North Indian - Count anti-clockwise
In this horoscope:
The lagna or the 1st house falls in Vrischika rasi or Scorpio. Scorpio is owned by
Mars. So the lagna lord is mars. He is placed in Gemini, the 8th house counted from

Vedic astrology lessons - the zodiac
lagna.( the counting starts from lagna)
The 2nd house is Dhanu or Sagittarius, its owner is jupiter. So the 2nd lord is placed
in Libra, the 12th house from lagna.
The 3rd house is Makara or Capricorn, owned by saturn, who is placed in Aries, the
sixth house.
The 4th house is Kumbha or Aquarius, owned by saturn, who is placed in Aries, the
sixth house.
The 5th house is Meena or Pisces, owned by jupiter, who is placed in the 12th house.
The 6th house is Mesha or Aries, whose lord mars is in the 8th house. You may
interested to note that mars as the important lagna lord placed in the 8th house is bad
and inauspicious, but in the 2nd case as the owner of a bad 6th house placed in
another bad 8th house, he very good and auspicious.
The 7th house is Vrishabha or Taurus, whose lord venus is placed in the 8th house.
The 8th house is Mithuna or Gemini, whose lord is placed in the 6th house. (This is
good)
The 9th house is Karka or Cancer, whose lord moon is in the 4th house.
The 10th house is Simha or Leo and the lord sun is in the 7th house.
The 11th house is Kanya or Virgo and the lord is in the 6th house. (This is bad)
The 12th house lord Venus placed in the 8th house.( Again note venus as the bad
12th lord in the bad 8th house is good, but as the important 7th lord in the bad 8th he
is bad)
For every lagna some planets are benific, some are malefic and some are neutral.
Again how they are placed in the chart is a very important point to be considered.
however the following are the basic thumb rules:
Lords of 1,5,9 houses are always benefics.
Lords of 4, 7, 10 houses if placed in auspicious houses produce good results.
Lords of 6, 8, 12 house if placed in 6, 8, or 12 houses produce good results but are
bad if placed in the good houses.
2nd and 11th lords are better placed in the auspicious houses.
When two or more planets are placed in a house, it is called the conjunction of
planets. The results of these conjunctions of planets will depend on whether they are
benefics or malefics from the lagna point of view. The conjunction of the Kendra lords
or the Kona lords or the Kendra or Kona lords is highly auspicious. These are called
Raja yoga combinations. The Raja yoga combinations give rise to authority, power,
position and wealth. However, if a dusthana lord. i.e., 6th, 8th or 12th lord joins them it
spoils the rajayogas.
When two planets exchange houses, i.e., let us say Mars is in Venus house and
Venus in in Mars house, it is called Parivartana Yoga or Exchange Yoga. The
Parivartana Yoga is a very powerful one. The Parivartana Yoga becomes auspicious if
the exchange is between two auspicious houses, i.e., between the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th,
7th, 9th, 10th and 11th houses. Similarly if two dusthana lords, i.e., 6th, 8th and 12th,
exchange houses then also it is auspicious. However, if a benefic house lord
exchanges houses with a malefic house lord, like 9th lord with the 12th lord, then the
exchange is inauspicious.
Similarly if exalted planets are placed in Kendras etc. it again causes Rajayogas.
