Preface

The future is fascinating for us all. We frequently ponder over the past and remember how often we have been overtaken by surprises. We’ve often wondered too on the host of opportunities we’ve missed because they were presented suddenly. We then reflect saying, “If only I’d have known it earlier”. That makes us wish for any knowledge that may help no more these situations obtainable.

Since time immemorial, man has been trying to find ways to know the future. He has developed many methods to pursue this. These methods are known as occult studies. Some famous occult studies include palm reading, playing cards, tarots, dominoes; with the help of dice, tea leaves, I Ching, etc. Most of these; in fact all of these methods are operations of chance. They depend on the concentration and divinity of the fortune teller. Astrology is the only branch of fortune telling that is not based on only this. With a scientific base, Astrology delves in astronomical calculations. It is a science that has its foundations in the study of the stars and heavenly bodies. This study that revolves around the effect of heavenly bodies is known as Astrology.

Situated miles away from us, stars and planets are non-living physical bodies. Intriguingly, they follow the rules of nature. Revolving in their predestined path, planets rotate on their axis. Positions of stars are generally fixed with respect to each other. According to the Law of Gravitation of the Universe, stars maintain the forces of attraction and repulsion. The Sun is the major source of energy on Earth. It affects both living as well as non-living world, even though it is 9.38 lakh miles away from us. When the Sun transits through a particular sign, seasons also change. The summer, winter and monsoon all are governed by the Sun. The energy is so vast that today solar energy is used for many purposes. When the shape of the moon is decreased or increased, there are several changes that are seen in persons with lunatic disorders. When the shape of moon is increased lunatics become more violent though they are submissive during the darker phases of the moon. Perhaps this is why certain mental diseases are named as Lunatic-meaning ‘of the Moon’. It is a common observation that on a full moon day, tides of ocean are also at their peak. Similarly, other planets too affect other heavenly bodies in the solar system. Since the Earth is also a part of the solar system, it also gets influenced by these effects.

The world of Astrology is a scientific as well as a mystic world. It is based on astronomical calculations so for an astrologer to predict anything, he should have in-depth knowledge of both astronomy and mathematics. This is one of the reasons, why Astrology is difficult for all to understand. As faith in Astrology increased, western countries too succumbed to its charm. It is primarily due to curiosity that people fall into the hands of quacks and are cheated. This also shatters their faith at times. It is imperative to note that knowledge is never wrong but it is people who apply it wrongly. This book is written to help in the understanding of Astrology without pain. Although one cannot be an astrologer after reading this book but the book would certainly help a novice understand the terms and basic concepts of Astrology, relating to different areas of life. Moreover, there are different combinations made easy for a learner that are quoted with examples and their applications. For an astrologer, this book is a ready reckoner. The aim of writing this book is to make a general person aware about the terminologies and applications of astrology so that he is unaffected by quacks. New terms defined in this book would make it easy for readers to understand. Furthermore, this book helps in breaking myths and fears in Astrology.

Undersstanding Relations-The Vedic Astrology Way, concentrates on different relations shared by a person. The relationship between a husband and wife are the main axis of life on which the whole family revolves. A wrong decision may spoil a complete life. It is necessary to understand your capabilities. Sometimes it is observed that a person is unaware about his hidden potential. Astrology makes you understand your hidden energies and talents, thereby allowing you to concentrate on the right direction. The same can be said about relations. When you are able to understand the behaviour and potential of another person, you can relate to and know him better. You can also make an effort to improve your relation with him. Relations with siblings, parents, friends, etc., are also included in this book. (Here I wish to note that he / him is used as common for both men and women in the book, it does not signify men only. It should be considered as either one of them wherever required.) Different examples with their birth charts are provided with a view to understand the matter more effectively. However, only a birth chart is not enough for making any prediction. No conclusion should be drawn without looking at the Navamsha chart and the related divisional chart. Hence, divisional charts are also provided wherever required.

Any knowledge may lose its importance when it is bound by rigidity making it stagnant. Like stagnant water becomes polluted with time, so does stagnant knowledge. New researches are required to explore new dimensions.

In conclusion, I would like to reiterate that To err is human.’ Should there be any error while explaining the text or anything else in the narrative, I would be happy to know of it so that it can be improved. Your precious suggestions are always welcome.

Astrologically Yours,

Alka Vijh

Introduction

If people were really happy because they’re having a fulfilling intimate relationship, wouldn’t humanity as a whole be much better off than it is today?

Man is a social animal. He lives amidst his family and is emotionally bound to them. He loves being with his loved ones. If there’s one thing that eats into his hectic life today, it is the difficulty to concentrate and give his loved ones as much time as he would want to. Tension mounts to stress; both physically and emotionally leading to a psychological break down of his system. It is perhaps this reason that the sages in the past laid down the rules for a healthy society; grooming man from the beginning of his childhood until old age.

Every relationship is a wholehearted commitment to support and to cherish. We all have several relations. These include blood, family and social relations. While each relation has its own importance in life, it is our interaction amongst others that drives our behaviour, thought and sensitivity.

Within our family too, parents are committed to guarding and supporting a child; in pain and in pleasure. Parents do a thankless job, never hoping to be credited for anything. They are hurt when children are ungrateful, stubborn and disobedient. This is so as they simply expect their child to be good and be an ideal citigen for the society.

Similarly, every relation has its bunch of expectations. Never as materialistic, reciprocation is usually in the form of love and care. When this remains unfulfilled according to one’s expectations, the bond of relation becomes shaky. Should this continue for long; it may result in the severing of relations; leaving behind bitter memories. All relations are as important as any one of them, however, the one that takes precedence over others is that of a husband and wife. Generally perceived as the axis of the family, this relationship if strained can adversely affect the children. In most broken marriages, it is the children who are devoid of love and care of one parent, thereby creating a huge void in their lives. It’s easy to note the frustrated expressions on a wife or husband’s face depicting their quarrelsome night. Job related frustration often translates at home. Children have to face the brunt of this at most times. Servants and/or other members of the family aren’t spared either.

In conclusion, if one relation is strained, it can affect others too. A distorted shape of relations gives rise to aggressiveness in all forms; behaviour, arrogance and cruelty. In some extreme cases, it even escalates to a psychological imbalance. Physicians can treat bodily ailments; but strained relations need special care. Astrologers for one can foresee and predict the possible outcome of the relation. Every relation is important to us. And because everybody is inquisitive about his or her relationship with the other person, a lot of anxiety surrounds marriage. There are questions galore regarding its success. In a parent-children relationship, the central focus almost always oscillates between whether the children would take care of the parents or not in their old age.

Similarly in every arena of life there are always some anxieties. If you’d like to unlock your true potential, gain a better understanding of your inner self, and learn the secrets to love, success and happiness, then this may perhaps be the most important piece of information you’ll ever read.

Basic Concepts of Astrology

Faithful horoscope watching practised daily, provides just the sort ofsmall hut warm and infinitely reassuring fillip that gets matters off to a spirited start

— Shana Alexander

To understand the 4th coming chapters, a basic knowledge of Astrology is essential. Astrology; the science of stars becomes an art when one predicts forth coming events with the help of the chart. Birth date, time and place are of primary importance in formulating the Birth Chart/Horoscope. A horoscope is but a pictorial representation of the placement of stars in the sky at the time of birth of a person, at the particular date, time and place.

It is the culmination of all astronomical tools with which an astrologer (a person; a specialist who can read the horoscope and is able to predict the event, post reading), can predict the events in one’s life. There are various techniques used by an astrologer that helps him do so. All these techniques are based on the movement or positioning of planets, signs, stars as well as several other astronomical factors.

These are the building blocks of astrological practice. Vedic astrologers roughly follow the 10 basic factors-of which 5 are astronomical factors and the other 5 factors are derivations based on these factors.

Astronomical Factors

1. The Solar System: Our solar system is heliocentric, i.e., the Sun is in the centre and all the planets viz., Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto revolve around the Sun, in an elliptical path. As we stand on the Earth and observe the whole system revolving around us, similarly while studying astrology we take the solar system as geocentric, i.e., the planets and the Sun are moving around the Earth in the same elliptical path. The Sun, which is a star and the Moon, which is a natural satellite of the Earth are considered as planets in Astrology. In the Vedic system of Astrology, there are 2nd shadowy points known as Rahu and Ketu also recognized as planets. They are not physical bodies but are mathematically calculated sensitive points of intersection of the orbit of the Sun and the Moon. They always move in the reverse motion. This motion is known as retrograded motion. The Sun and the moon never retrograde. The remaining planets are direct in motion but due to some forces they become stationary or are sometimes retrograded when they are at certain distance from the Sun. They regain their natural courses again after some time.

2. Zodiac: The Earth rotates on its axis from the west to the east which is why we see the Sun rising from the east and setting in the west. The path on which the Sun appears to travel is known as the solar path (Fig.1). Heavenly bodies are present at the extent of 9 degree above and 9 degree below (total of 18 degrees) this solar path. This broad belt is known as the Zodiac.

Figure 1. Solar Path

A circle has 360 degrees, since the zodiac is circular in shape; it too has 360 degrees. We have 12 signs present in this belt. Hence, each sign would have the extent of 30 degrees each. The stretch starts from 0 degrees, Aries, which is then subsequently followed by Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces. Different signs have different characteristics, which play an important role in the delineation of astrological charts. The planets move in these 12 signs. Details of such characteristics are given further in this chapter.

Figure 2. Zodiac Belt showing signs with degrees

3. Planets: Astronomically there are 9 planets known to us, viz., Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. As we have already discussed in Vedic astrology the Sun, the moon and the 2 shadowy planets, Rahu and Ketu are also considered as planets. Each sign in the Zodiac is ruled by a planet.

Another thumb rule is that different signs have different characteristics. Similarly different planets also have different characteristics. Since the signs and planets play an important role in the astrological charts, they are described later in this chapter.

4. Nakshatras: Nakshatras also known as asterisms or birth constellations. They are a group of stars with a definite shape spread across the signs of the zodiac belt. They are 27 in number each with an extent of 1 3 degrees and 20 minutes. Each nakshatra is divided into four parts of 3 degree and 20 minutes known as pada or charan. Each pada has its own characteristics. Interestingly, each sign of the zodiac covers 2 1/4 nakshatras i.e., 4+4+1= 9 padas.

Nakshatras are further grouped in three’s; known as triad, ruled by a planet known as its lord - means to govern. These nakshatras are influenced by the characteristics of their lords. So there are 9 groups of these triads.
