Astro Numerology and Andhra Elections

Numerology and Astrology are not two different branches of divination.They are one and the same.The Nine planets are represented by the Nine numbers.Even Aristotle,the Greek philosopher,used to believe that the Nine numbers control the entire world by their permutations and combinations. This belief in Planets and Numbers as controlling forces of the Universe is very ancient.I personally believe that there is a lot of truth in this belief.

Many people use Numerology as a stand alone branch of divination.I think this approach is erroneous.It should be used in unison with Astrology to get correct results.If we read Chiero,we see that he followed this method.He learned this comprehensive approach of divination in India.Numbers are planets and planets are numbers.We should not forget this fundamental truth in our analysis.

I came across some people,especially from religions other than Hinduism,who erroneously believe that Astrology and Numerology are works of Devil.Far from truth!!!They are Divine boons to mankind.They are the torches that show us the way in total pitch darkness.

Now let me focus on the results of Andhra Elections.

Venus is the ruling planet for this election.I will explain how.

The polling was concluded on 7-5-2014.The day number is 7.

Results will be out on 16-5-2014.The day number again is 7.

Root number in both cases is 10=1

Now,as per my own theory and experience,number 7 represents Venus.I will explain in a separate article how did I arrive at this conclusion.For the present,it would be enough to remember that 16-5-2014 is a Friday.

Root number 10 indicates that power(1) will become void(0).This means the ruling party will lose power.

Let me explain forthwith.

Venus is now exalted in Mina the natural 12th house and will remain so till election results are announced.Venus is the lord of 2nd and 7th houses in Natural Zodiac.It represents matters concerning household and opponents.It also indicates movie stars.

This indicates the changed public opinion and the strength gained by the opposition party.This shows that people are disillusioned with the ruling party and are clearly in favor of the opposition.

Let us look at the Karakatva of Venus indicating movie stars.NTR was a famous movie star before he stepped into political arena.Pavan Kalyan,who now supports the 'BJP-TDP' alliance,is a movie star who enjoys considerable fan following in Andhra state.His support is a pivotal factor for 'BJP-TDP' alliance in the current election.All this is nothing but the play of Venus on the election scenario.

On 16-5-2014,the star would be Jyeshta.Moon as Natural 4th lord controlling public opinion,is in fall and trinally aspects exalted Venus.This shows that people are depressed and angry with the party in power.They want a change for the better.

Retro Mars opposes Venus from Kanya.Mars in the house of Mercury means hypocrisy and secret plots.So,the forces that try to stop the opposition from coming into power are strong too.But their designs will fail ultimately, as Venus is stronger than Mars in current transit.

So I feel that 'BJP-TDP' alliance will come to power in Andhra elections facing a strong fight from YSRCP.

One of the peculiar problems of our country is paucity of honest leaders.If some exist somewhere,they fail to win the confidence of people.And we give the country's reins to some party,on experimental basis,to test its ability.After some time,disillusioned with the inept handling of matters,we pass on the ruling rod to some other party,hoping that it would do better.Again after some time,we become disillusioned,and the power passes on to a third party.Meanwhile what is dangerously at stake is the country's progress.The corruption that takes place in the mean time is dealing a death blow to the country's economy and steady progress.And there is no accountability anywhere.This is the real problem of our country.

We are miserably lagging behind countries like China our neighbor,in using our human resources effectively with the result that we have been reduced to a marketing arena for all countries.We have become a bunch of foolish consumers dancing to the tunes of greedy MNCs.

Corrupt,selfish and visionless politicians are the bane of our country.And the people with myopic vision are equally responsible for the present state of affairs.

We should give up petty considerations like caste,region and religion and try to think in terms of country's welfare and progress.We should shun small mindedness and learn to think big.We should have young political blood with honesty and patriotism.After all,the Country is greater than states and people.

Let me pray the Lord to give us better wisdom in choosing our leaders.

Kejriwal Vs Modi--A sad picture

Earlier I analysed actor Chiranjeevi's horoscope and opined he had good yogas in his chart that will give him power in political field.Afterwards,I deleted my post when he dissolved his party in Congress much to the embarrassment of many.I felt sorry for a seemingly good force losing its base and betraying the aspirations of many who believed its rhetoric.

Now,almost in a similar fashion,in protest of Kejriwal's decision to oppose Narendra Modi in Varanasi elections,I am deleting my post on the analysis of Kejriwal's birth chart.

In my opinion,in the present scenario,there is no better candidate for the post of prime minister of India other than Narendra Modi.

Louis Braille-Astro analysis

The other day I was at an orphanage for the blind to offer some financial help to the inmates.There are 71 inmates studying various classes and some of them are graduates and post-graduates.There are a few mentally retarded children too.

After finishing my work over there,I had a thought to check up the chart of Louis Braille who invented the Braille language.I wanted to see which planetary yoga caused his blindness and also his struggle to create a language for the blind.

Louis Braille was born on 4-1-1809 at 4.00 AM at Coupvre,France.The resultant birth chart can be seen above.

As per established astrological principles,second and twelfth houses denote right and left eyes respectively.Sun and Moon are natural signifiers of eye sight.Venus and Jupiter being second and twelfth lords of Natural Rasi Chakra are signifiers too.With this basic data,we will start analyzing Braille's birth chart.

At the outset,the highly blemished Lagna is what struck me hard.There is Rahu in degree conjunction with Uranus in Lagna sandwiched by Mars and Saturn.This is called 'Netraheena Yoga' or 'Drishti Nasha Yoga'.

Papargala (flanked by evil planets) is not a strange thing in birth charts.Many charts do suffer from this affliction.However, Papargala to Tula is something strange as Mesha,the natural Lagna too,gets blemished due to the 7th aspect of planets.So the evil gets reinforced as the Lagna and natural lagna both become Papargalas.

As per Indian philosophical thought,purva karma or past action is the cause of good and evil effects we encounter in this birth.What could be his past karma to suffer blindness in early childhood?Rahu and Uranus are in Mina in Navamsa.Mina is the sign of emancipation and denotes spiritual luminaries.So he might have harmed men of God in his earlier birth which showed itself as bad fate in the current birth.

Indian villages do abound in many proverbs in local languages.In earlier days,someone doing a misdeed used to be warned by elders with these words-'Be careful.Never do unrighteous things lest you should lose your eyesight'.The old villagers knew many such proverbs.We cannot vouchsafe for their beliefs but I strongly believe that these proverbs are the products of meticulous observation spanning over many generations.

Sun is a Badhaka (tormentor) for this lagna.So the native had a natural affliction to eyes.Mercury the 12th lord is with Sun and also in Ketu's star who is a maraka(death inflictor) to this chart.

Mars is a strong malefic for Tula lagna.Being fallen in Navamsa,his maleficence gains immense strength.He is in Moon's star in 12th house and indicates danger to left eye.

When Braille was 2 or 3 years old,he was playing with his father's tools and tried to press a nail through something like a cardboard placed near his eye.In that effort,the nail pierced through and struck into his left eye.This incident happened in Mercury/Ketu or Mercury/Venus dasa.Ketu is a maraka for this chart.Venus suffers from compounded affliction to Lagna.Role of Mercury is already explained above.

Sun signifies father.The badhaka lordship of Sun caused damage to his eyes through father's tools.Strong affliction to Lagna prompted him to pierce his own eye.Slowly the infection spread to the other eye and he lost his both eyes eventually.

Saturn is a benefic for this lagna,but his location in the house of Mars made him quite uncomfortable.Proximity of Neptune added fuel to fire.

Let me elaborate on the Natural Zodiac for a while.

First house is afflicted by Ketu who is in the star of Venus.Star Bharani is ruled by the God of death.Jupiter who is 12th lord is in the star of Saturn and aspected by Rahu.This indicates strong bad karma from previous birth as Jupiter happens to be the 9th lord too.2nd and 12th houses receive the malefic aspects of Saturn who is a badhaka to Mesha and Mars who is in 6th house.So the indications for eye loss gain reinforced strength.

At the time of the incident,transit Mars was in Lagna,Rahu was in 12th house and Saturn in 2nd.So the transit effects coincided with those of Dasa Bhukti and precipitated the gory incident.

Venus is the Atmakaraka in this chart.Karakamsa is Kanya.3rd and 8th houses being the houses of longevity are spoiled due to presence of Saturn and Ketu.So he lived for 43 years and died on 6-1-1852 in Sun/Moon/Saturn/Ketu.All these planets are afflicted badly as explained above.

At this stage,remedial measures flash across our mind.Had his parents performed appropriate remedies at proper time,could this mishap have been avoided? No one could say at this point of time.It is futile to speculate now on what could have happened a hundred years ago.The chances are very remote for his parents to know about the secrets of Indian astrology and its remedies.The chances of performing Vedic remedies in a European country at that time are almost bleak.So the past Karma struck the boy very hard.

When the past Karma is very strong,Nature puts forth a hundred obstacles in the way of remedial measures.It is simply impossible to overcome strong past karma.If,by dint of strong will and some good fortune left in the chart,the native could meet a genuine and selfless Indian astrologer and the remedies performed in time,then the past Karma could have been overcome.This is assured by great Indian sages like Bhrigu,Garga,Parashara and many others.

Some astrologers opine that a birth chart should not be analyzed before the child attains the age of 12.I see no reason in this argument.If the mishap occurs before 12th year,what is the use of seeing the chart thereafter,except to offer a post-facto analysis?So I am of the opinion that the chart should be cast as soon as the child is born,the good and bad effects of planets analysed in detail and proper remedies performed in time.

Ancient people,even Kings and Emperors,used to follow this method.It is better to emulate the good example set by the learned. After all,they were more honest,more experienced and more knowledgeable than us who are afflicted with skepticism and disbelief in the name of scientific education.

World chess champion Magnus Carlson-Astro analysis

Magnus Carlson is the current world chess champion.He defeated Vishwanadhan Anand and grabbed the title.Though his exact birthtime is not available,I will try to analyse his birth chart according to Nadi Jyotish principles.

He was born at Tonsberg in Norway on 30-11-1990 in Bharani star ruled by Venus.It was a Friday.So Venus will have a strong influence on his life.Among the chara karakatwas,Venus became the Amatyakaraka denoting profession.It is sandwiched between Sun on the back and Mercury and Saturn on the front and located in Vrishchika the rasi known for mystery and secret plotting.This combination could denote a porofession involving help from father,intelligent thinking and hard work.

His Atmakaraka Saturn and Sun are vargottama indicating success in profession,good luck and name and fame.These two planets made him a child prodigy in chess.

Saturn with Mercury gives deep thinking and meticulous intelligent planning.Mars and Moon in Mesha could give tenacity of purpose.Exalted Jupiter with Ketu denoting Moon could mean Gajakesari Yoga that boosts up good luck.

Uranus and Sun in exact 2/12 position shows sudden flashes of intuition in times of need.Jupiter and Neptune in exact 6/8 position shows deep religious bent of mind and lots of fortune from the nether world.

Natural Karma Karaka, the indicator of profession,is Saturn. He is with Mercury who is also the 3rd lord from Moon lagna.So a profession involving intelligent thinking and planning is indicated.

Saturn gets 2nd and 3rd Lordship from himself.So the profession could be something connected to sports,writing and communication.Venus being Amatyakaraka could give modelling and income from advertising.

Chess is a game that needs a lot of thinking,silent planning and intuitive ability.The role of Uranus and Neptune in this angle cannot be overlooked in Carlson's chart.

By and large,a birth chart can be read by using Nadi principles even in the absence of correct birth time.Though minute details of life are not traceable by this method,the broad directions life could take in future could be easily gleaned through Nadi analysis.

Sachin Tendulkar-Astro analysis

Sachin Tendulkar,the greatest batsman of modern Indian cricket has retired recently and has been given Bharath Ratna award.I will just have a look into his birth chart.

Before proceeding ahead,I have to admit that I don't know the ABCD of cricket at all.I was interested in martial arts from my childhood and spent my hobby time in learning various fighting styles.I never played cricket or any other game seriously as martial arts consumed my whole attention for quite a long time.So my knowledge of cricket is almost zero.Therefore,I will just touch upon Sachin's major life events to the exclusion of the subtle nuances of his batting style or his career ups and downs.

His date of birth is 24-4-1973 at Mumbai.Quite a number of times are available on the net each of them claiming to be his correct birth time.Some of them are 1.00 PM,2.47 PM and 4.20 PM.They give Kataka,Simha and Kanya lagnas respectively.

Sun and Mars are exalted in his chart.Mars is karaka for aggressiveness.True to this trait,he used to bully his schoolmates.To curb this attitude and to channelize his excessive energy,his brother introduced him to cricket.Mars gave him an aggressive batting style.Some people say that he is a Kanya lagna native,as Mars could become 3rd lord only when the Lagna is Kanya.If this is true his time of birth could be around 4.30 PM.I dont know if this true.

Exalted Sun bestowed upon him success in career,name and fame and great fan following throughout the world.Jupiter in fall made him a devotee of Satya Sai Baba.It is noteworthy that Jupiter is in Makara in Satya Sai Baba's birth chart also.Planetary synchronicity happens in various weird ways.

Love marriage is possible for Karkataka and Kanya lagnas with this combination of planets.7th house becomes blemished for these two lagnas,Mercury in fall in 7th house for Kanya Lagna and Jupiter and Mars in 7th house for Kataka Lagna.Out of these two,Saturn being 7th lord in Labha stana gives a wife older in age.It could also give a doctor wife serving the sick.So I favour Kataka Lagna for him.

Kanya lagna cannot give a good career as Ketu is in 10th house.Kataka Lagna on the other hand could give a very bright career as Sun is exalted in 10th house.So,Kataka Lagna gains strength.So his birth time should be around 1.00 PM.If that is true,at the time of his marriage on 24-5-1995,he was running Mars/Jup/Merc dasa(Vimsottari).Mars and Jupiter in 7th house and Mercury in Sukha stana from Moon could easily give marriage.So the dasa pattern too tallies for Kataka Lagna.

Currently,he is running Rahu/Ven/Jup/Ket dasa.Venus with exalted Sun gave him the highest award of the country.However,Venus is a badhaka for this lagna and Jupiter in fall transfers this blemish to Mars who is the Karaka planet for sports and games.Ketu gives separation.So his retirement from Cricket tallies with the dasa bhukti pattern.

Reverse Kalasarpa yoga as some would attribute to his chart,is a misnomer.There is no such thing called reverse KSY.It is a creation of modern false astrologers.His chart doesn't suffer from KSY at all.

Let us consider the extra Saturnine planets.In my earlier days,I never used to consider them,as they were not mentioned in Indian astrology.But experience taught me otherwise.It is a fact that consideration of Uranus,Neptune and Pluto in astro analysis gives better insights than otherwise.

Uranus in 3rd house sitting in Mars Star in exact trinal aspect to exalted Mars is the main reason behind his aggressive and unpredictable playing style mixed with good technique,which was complimented even by veterans like Donald Bradman.Pluto in 3rd house too supported him in his career.

Neptune in 5th house could give love marriage among other things.Especially its position in Saturn's star could give a life partner older to him.This is proved to be true in Sachin's case.

Ghatika Lagna in 3rd house shows name and fame in the field of sports.So I think his Lagna is Kataka which fixes his time of birth around 1.00 PM as per my perception.

Planets rule over the mighty and the meek alike.None can escape their net.One cannot escape from one's own Karma either.This is as certain as tomorrow's sunrise.

Sarvatobhadra Chakra- An interesting incident

There are any number of methods in Jyotisha to look into future.Similarly Prasna also has many methods.If we care to understand a little,our minds are baffled at the immensity of research that was done in the past in the field of Jyotisha. 

Many moderns,assuming that they are more intelligent than the ancients,pose questions like-"Is it really necessary to know our future?What is the fun of knowing it when we cant do anything to alter it?".This kind of criticism does nothing other than exposing our ignorance of the principles of a grand science.Our ancient rishis foresaw and answered these doubts thousands of years ago.They were not money minded like us.They selflessly passed down many methods to know future.Sarvathobhadra Chakra is one among them.

Sarvatobhadra Chakra appears as an effort to integrate Jataka,Gochara.Prashna and Muhurta all rolled into one synthetic whole encompassing vowels,consonants,tithis,days,stars,rasis and planets.

One can analyse Jataka,prashna,gochara and set muhurtha using this wonderful tool. 

In 2008, I used this method to foresee my promotion and transfer.Not only that I could guess which town I was going to be posted.The chart which I drew and analysed on 27-3-2008 is shown above.The analysis on that paper is in Telugu which is my mother tongue and at some places in English.

When yogakaraka planets transit over Abhisheka star, one receives honors. My lagna is Makara and Venus and Mercury are my lucky planets.They were already in Abhisheka star.On 31-3-2008 Moon was going to transit in my Kshema star and aspecting Venus-Mercury combination. This aspect is passing through the syllable "ga".My likely places of transfer were Hyderabad,Secunderabad, Vijayawada, Guntur,Nanded and Guntakal.At that time I was living in Guntur.So the other town starting with the letter 'ga' is Guntakal.

So I predicted on 27-3-2008 that I would receive my promotion and transfer orders to Guntakal town on 31-3-2008. Exactly on 31-3-2008 I got my orders to Guntakal as expected.

This is an example to show how Sarvatobhadra Chakra could be used to peep into future.

43 ominous days

The world has now entered into a bad phase again, beginning from April 11th 2013.This bad phase will run for 43 days upto 23rd May.Let us look at the subtle nuances of this period a little closely.

Rahu-Saturn combination is a very bad indicator as has been proved in many charts,both human and mundane.It triggers many violent incidents at mundane level too.Added to this,Mars and Ketu are now in Mesha exactly opposite to Tula. Mars-Ketu combination triggers excessive and uncontrollable energy.

Rahu-Saturn yoga stirs up violent incidents backed by cruel plans. Mars-Ketu yoga piles up tons of raw energy.When these two forces align with each other,we can easily imagine what is going to happen,more so,when Mars and Ketu meet in a fiery sign like Mesha owned by Mars himself.

On 11th April Venus moved to Mesha followed by Mars on 13th and Sun on 14th. Ketu has already been there since long.Now we will look at the trouble created by these planets at global level.

• On 14th, P.B.Srinivas a veteran south Indian playback singer and poet passed away suddenly at a ripe old age.He was not very ill,but died suddenly.He enchanted millions of South Indians with his melodious voice for decades.
• Yesterday, earthquakes rocked Iran,Pakistan and India. Mesha indicates Pakistan.It is 4th from Makara the ancient sign of India and 12th from Vrisha,the sign of Indian Independence.This happened on a Tuesday ruled by Mars.
• Boston is rocked by bomb blasts.Mars is ruler of sports and this incident happened during a marathon event.
• Fire broke out in Tirumala temple in India and could not be put off for about an hour.Exalted Sun indicates,inter alia,kitchens of holy temples.
• Untimely deaths are happening in many families from last week.
• Famous persons like Margaret Thacher and R.P.Goenka known for their iron will passed away.
• Gold and Silver prices plummeted,thanks to Venus the planet of precious metals, entering into the shadow of Ketu,scanned under Sapita Yoga from Tula.

Now,these planetary influences will continue to haunt us till 23rd May.Let us try to pinpoint the probable dates which may trigger many more events of similar nature.

• 21st and 22nd of April. Venus-Saturn opposition.Mars combust.
• 25th April, Full moon.
• 22nd Sun Ketu conjunction.
• 28th and 29th of April.Sun Saturn opposition.
• 9th May New moon.
• 12th May.Mars Rahu opposition.

Periods full of such ominous aspects are sure to trigger violent and chaotic events affecting nations in general and individual lives in particular.If you observe closely.you will see changes taking place in your life from April 13th.

There are some cycles in Astrology which trigger 'draining' of global karma.During such periods,the planets especially Mars,Saturn and Rahu play active role and affect millions of lives in a drastic way paving the way for drainage of their long accumulated Karma.The phase we are passing through at present is one such.

Let us observe suitable remedies,occult as well as behavioral,and sail safe through these turbulent times.
