[A] Importance of Navamansh D9: An Example

Navamansh is ALWAYS important as you can see from charts of ANY great successful person. One case I remember when I used to post on www.Maayboli.com (Marathi group) from 1999 I suppose to 2009 or so. There was a question about 17/18 year old twin brothers as to which career they should adopt as per chart analysis. The different in birth time was 12/13 minutes so Navamansh was changing which was a big deal for twins’ chart. One chart I saw Vrishchik Lagna in D9 and Mangal in the 6th house (elder) and the other one I saw Dhanu lagna with Mangal in the 5th house. I suggested traditional Indian thinking would suggest medicine for elder and engineering for the younger twin! :) BUT I was later to reply – As I had not checked the board/blog etc for several day.

Interestingly, the reply I got was that – they had gone ahead with the admissions and had not got my analysis in time – but GUESS WHAT – They had selected the exact same as per my analysis! :)\

[B] GURU-Wichaar
(Jupiter) the biggest planet which can keep 3000 Earths rotating around itself, although takes around 11.88 years to rotate around the Sun, takes only 10 hrs (or so) to rotate around itself!!! (The Earth takes 24 hrs -- You know that!) :) That is one MASSIVE speed for such a BIG planet! No wonder why magnetism in Sanskrit is named as GURUTVA-KARSHAN! Also -- Sanskrit wachan (phrase) - "Guru-wina Gatee nahee")

"Guru-wina Gatee Naahi" -- No Speed without Guru --- i.e. Without a Guru (in a given subject) you are on a very slow path towards reaching your goal. However, one cannot "seek" Guru but "When the disciple is 'ready' -- the Master WILL appear" -- We can only keep PREPARING ourselves until THE Master appears some day!

Jupiter (Guru) has such a great magnetism, it PULLS the Sun towards it and hence Sun's journey in the infinite space is wavy and not straight ("Ever Expanding Universe") (Our whole Galaxy along with Sun is moving in one direction and the STARS i.e. the constellations - are also moving AWAY from the Earth -- "RED" effect as mentioned in Brief History of Time). The mass-center of Guru and Sun is 47,000 miles away from the Sun (rest all have it very near or with in the Sun) :)

Guru drushti on any planet in the Chart and even the transits is MAGICAL. It means mahadasha or antardasha of that planet would not create issues beyond a certain extent regardless of how bad a planet is placed. It does NOT matter whether Guru is owner of 6 8 12 or 3 11 etc etc. GURU IS GURU!! :)

[C] Some rules in Astrology almost always work.

Such observations and patterns enrich a person as they move ahead. For example, below 1 simple and 1 complex analysis.

    TEMP Weight gains: When Gochar (transit) Guru goes over your Moon sign, you increase social and also physical presence! :) Water retention is optimal in the body and you tend to gain weight which is mostly heathy. This almost always works. Yes if at the same time transit Shani is on your Moon Sign or 7th or 4th from it then Shani drushti will have some restriction on this weight gain.
        Kanya /Virgo rashi could have gained weight Sept0216 to Sept2017; Libra / Tula might gain from Sept2017 to Sept2018
        Leo / Singh might have gained from July2015 to July2016 but Shani was having drushti on Moon so lesser.

    Miscarriage to Mom after child’s birth in the next pregnancy:
        When a child has Kanya lagna or Kumbh lagna and the natal chart has Shani Mangal close in Yuti or close opposite or both have drushti on each other then, 90% of the times there is a miscarriage or a very tough pregnancy to their mom in the next pregnancy. More often than not – it is a miscarriage.
        If GURU drushti is CLOSE on Mangal then the next child might survive but could have lesser longevity and maybe some birth defect or blood/kidney etc related issues.

    These probabilities increase when Mangal or Shani are in 3rd house or Mangal Shani are in 6 8 12 houses.

    I have observed these on so many case studies (hundreds) The most telling was A 76 born one where Shani 10th Drushti on Mangal EXACY Same degree and GURU EXACT Same degree with MANGAL (two friends) Both had a sibling who lived for some years and passed away due to some blood related stuff. One was younger bro and for another it was elder brother.
    Yes, there are periods when this could be avoided by studying this child chart which is the best time to have the next sibling. Basic chart analysis for 3rd house, L3 and Mangal and then Dasha Antardasha and transits.

    The exact same above could apply to Makar and Mithun lagna for a miscarriage that might have happened before this child. Even the 3rd house Mangal or Shani in such conditions for any lagna and very close degree grahayog can show some issues.

[D] Rahu Ketu and TT and Carom and even to some extent Badminton

 My Patent on TT and Carom: Folks having Mars (Mangal) with Rahu or Ketu are the best players or have potential to be the best players of these games. Chandra Rahu and Chandra Ketu follow them the next!!

Rahu and Ketu equip Mars or Moon with "Deja-Vu" effect -- They have acute ability to spot "patterns" and act subconsciously or consciously to such patterns which are highly applicable to games like TT and Carom where "something similar" has always happened together and doesn't need as much as physical power/energy to execute as other sports..!

[E[ RICH / WEALTHY CHART:

(1) Planets in 2 6 10 11

(2) Exchange of planets in 2 6 10 within each other and with 11 -- Guru drushti on 2 6 10 and 11 of owners of these houses.

(3) Guru Shani in 2 6 10 11

(4) Mass Production b-Date like 28 adds to the wealth.

(5) Planets in Vrishabh Kanya Makar rashi and when they are in 2 6 10 houses (Earth signs in Economic zone)

[F] MAKAR Rashi – HUNGER and Greed, Relentless

HUNGER / Greed is #Makar #Capricorn Sthayibhaav, Leapfrogging competition (Toyota company) So even if they win a lottery today -- tomorrow they will go to work. Also, if someone does something inspirational and takes some rest after that -- Makar will improve it bit further and take it ahead -- so IPR is not something Makar is ever worried about! :) Capricorn / Makar is a MOUNTAIN GOAT that climbs a mountain relentlessly without a break and regardless of sweat regardless of difficult it is!!

So they are not very popular for sure in friend circle as they always try to check what others are doing and improve upon it -- Sharing of information and knowledge is NEVER a Makar trait -- Rather they are conservative and keep working to outpace others slowly but surely, relentlessly. These are great attributes but the negative side could be when in a group and group activity -- could be perceived as too self-centered and worried about personal achievements. Sachin Makar rashi Mangal -- He took 140+ balls to score his 100th Century in ODI against Bangladesh we LOST! :( It was Sad..!! Gavaskar is Makar ascendant.... So Makar has personal ambitions and person growth dreams and MONEY minded and MTAERIAL approach -- Which is not bad at all but it is what it is -- and hence this rashi is neech for Guru which is supposed to educate people - share knowledge and guide people...! Sachin was not known as great captain as SHARING of knowledge or grooming others at the cost of his own performance was never natural to him...!

Makar is workaholic, tremendous efforts and step by step progress. They are always busy and always onto something. Their willpower is extra ordinary. Their tomorrow is always better than today! Their idea of success is money and material things & achievements. This is very industrious sign -- most big corporations and Govt and long-term business come under influence of this sign. Their start is usually in poverty or middle-class -- if in a rich family -- they would progress to finance ministry and so on. Economist and past PM Manmohan Singh has SHANI in Capricorn. Their WILLPOWER is Second to NONE -- Balasaheb, Netaji Subhashchnadra Bose are Makar SUN. Their life after 30 is of benefits and return on investments they have done until the age of 30. In other words, the life until 30 is predominantly of investment and efforts without too much of a gain.A soul takes birth or is forced to take birth on Makar moon, Lagna or Sun (Jan 14/15 to Feb 14) to increase economic-state of their family, community, surroundings or even the nation etc depending on the consciousness the soul has reached. The MAKAR sign shows industrious nature, workaholic approach which relentlessly earns money & continuously rises up the ladder of material success.

Indira Gandhi, Rajanikant, Raj T, shah rukh moon sign examples and Balashaeb Shubhalshchandra Bose, Glenn McGrath sun sign Makar... You would find most prayatnawadi, highly khadus and sincere and no nonsense ambitious people under Makar -- JABAR MAHATVAKANSHA.... And jabaradst will power to succeed eventually with acute focus on the goals.... Most fast trackers in my company i see L10 or Sun or Mangal in Makar. Or let me put in this way -- I see some planet in Makar raashi for really influential people. Abraham Lincoln??? Mahendra SINGH Dhoni and Sunil Gavaskar have Makar ascendant. Many great sports people have Makar Mars!!! Obama and Manmohan SINGH Shani in Makar. Dhirubhai Ambani also...

[G] #Budh and #MamaMousi #6thhouse#8thhouse#AstroMNC
Sometimes I get dragged to some very different direction while analyzing a horoscope. Something activates and stretched the imagination beyond usual levels. One such horoscope analysis from the days of Maayboli.com(node 1705 or 7509 etc I forgot) Astrology page --- >>>>>> I started writing and I told them that this horoscope shows that MAMA (or Mousi) for this horoscope would have had some very acute/bad incidence from Jan2001 to Dec2002: It would have involved drowning or close to drowning etc. It could have been of course his maternal grandfather house/farm etc. <<<<<<<------

The opposite party was awestruck – they acknowledged but said – This boy is born in 2008 (or was it 2007) and why would I go back to the birth of this boy! I didn’t realize I was backtracking so much as somewhat absent minded or bhulakkad at times (Meen Budh) I went back in time for this analysis and came back with an acute event!! As I have Shani ACUTE drishti on Budh – I am a very bad(?) critique and drawn to such peculiar aspects of a horoscope! (Obviously this Shani drushti confirms that some of older bros of mom (& 2 mousi) were alpaayu i.e. my mama – I don’t have a saga-mama.)

But this analysis underscored – Mama and BUDH karakatva (Mercury) and 6th house and Mama/Mousi family and younger siblings of your mom and so on and also the 8th house significance.

This boy also had a tendency to go to bathrooms and play with buckets etc and I advised to keep him away and teach him to be careful etc.

[H] #kendraDhipati "dosh": #astromnc

IGNORE it please -- There are various loopholes for astrologers for not being responsible for any prediction they make and this kendra dhipati dosh is one such thing! :) :) (1) Basically ANY house in KENDRA owned by a SHUBH (natural SHUBH) planet -- then it is called as Kendra-dhipati dosh. (2) ONLY Mithun Kanya and Dhanu Meen lagna have this one at a bigger scale as ALL owners of the Kendra rashi are SHUBHA planets BUDH and Guru -- what this means is that Kendra sthan is about SANGHARSH and success after HARD-WORK and struggle -- so when these planets are SHUBH -- logically they would not make the person do much sangharsh for the houses they are placed in and etc etc.... So logical thought! So it is said that a BAD planets like MARS or Saturn when it is owner rof 1 4 7 10 house of a horoscope it gives very good result as the person is able to to sangharsh or take stress for getting results.

Simply IGNORE this concept altogether -- Rather work on (1) Planets in a house (2) Owner of taht house (3) Governor -- KARAK of the thing you want to analyse and forget about ATMAKARAK and what not... There is only one soul
kaarak -- SUN!! :)

There are 100,000 things in astrology -- I see NO USE of this planet with highest a degree at all -- multrikon, uchcha neech, navamansh, dashamansh, nakshatra, gandaant, astangat, wakri, Baal Tarun vridhdha, devgun nakshatra rakshas gun nakshatra, multiple divisional charts power, digbali, navapanhcam, labh yog, Kendra yog, pratiyog yuti yog, mitra shatru raashi, position from moon or moon chart, bhaavchalit, Natural benefit malefic, Lagna malefic benific, bhavarambh, bhavmadhya, sunafa, anafa, kemdrum, Yogini, Ashtottari, Vinshottari And on and on and on ---- all these are used to explain what already happened very well BUT never what is actually going to happen

[i] Rahu Uchcha Rashi

Rahu Uchcha in Mithun rashi - Rahu creates images and hence Mithun which is expressive, bakbak, moving around and kam trikon sign is uchcha for Rahu -- Rahu in Gemini shows well to do paternal family - grandfather or grandmother. Rahu is called "Andh" (can't see) in Kanya as Kanya paralysis by analysis and hence doesn't allow too much wondering of Rahu image but gets Rahu's materialism channels in a practical way,.. but South says Rahu Vrishabh uchcha -- I don't agree and have not found so! Why Moon exalted sign to be Rahu's exalted sign?
