INTRODUCTION

your Astrology: your birth right that gives understanding of the workings of the Universal Forces that include action and control, wisdom, enjoyment, life, peace, intellect and love. You were born into this world with an Agenda to complete - a choice of destinies reflected in your birth chart. The sooner you understand that Agenda and your strengths and weaknesses, the better you can capitalize on your strengths and resist your weaknesses, the better your life will fare. Life is all about choices: temptations resisted and opportunities seizedBasic Interpretation of the birth chart will introduce you to the most basic concepts and elements in Vedic Astrology. It covers the zodiac used, the way the chart is drawn, and gives you an understanding of the Grahas (Planets), Rashis (signs), Bhavas (houses) and Nakshatras. It also introduces you to the lordships of the Bhavas, and the use of the Lagna (Ascendant), which are based on the relationship of the Grahas and the Bhavas, and the Rashis and the Bhavas respectively. This section also explains the most basic interaction between the Grahas: Conjunctions and aspects. Interpreting Planets provides an in-depth approach to understanding a unique nature of each Graha in any particular horoscope. This includes a precise distinction between the strength, auspiciousness and quality of a Graha. Interpreting houses elaborates on the various techniques used to interpret how a bhava will function in the chart and estimate how the areas of life represented by the bhava will manifest in one's life. Interpreting the chart integrates the previous two sections and completes a basic level of the chart analysis. Varieties of charts introduces you to some other types of charts that are often used to enrich the basic analysis of the birth chart. All the principles of the earlier section can now be applied in additional contexts. Divisional charts elaborates in detail on the use of one of the chart types introduced in the previous chapter. This chapter concludes the first part of the tutorial, dealing with interpreting the chart. Predictions The earlier chapters dealt with interpreting the chart without concern for the timing of life events, and predicting when various potential will manifest. The next three sections deal with the subject of timing the predictions. The Dashas section will explain how the planets are activated in cycles, and cycles within cycles. The Transits section will explain how the ongoing movement of the planets affects the natal chart. The Varshaphala section will teach you the intricacies of the chart cast on one's birthday, or rather, the exact time that the Sun re-visits its natal position.

THE LAW OF KARMA

The Basis of Astrology is the Law of Karma: that Actions in this life affect Outcomes in the next life. Birth time Astrology is possible if there is reincarnation of souls to fulfil their Karma Karma is the spiritual principle of cause and effect, where intent and actions of an individual (cause) influence the future of that individual (effect). The Horoscope is a map of the heavens (planets) plotted on paper as a chart with the twelve signs of the zodiac placed in twelve numbered houses. From this map of the heavens we can read the planetary influences on human beings, as well as the amount of free will people possess.

VEDIC CHART AND AREAS OF LIFE

Each House bhava represents a number of areas of life. Whereas Planets (Grahas) indicate the different aspects of our consciousness, the bhavas indicate what areas of life that consciousness is most strongly connected to, projected on and influenced by the planets influence. The Signs (Rashis) color that connection and give it very specific qualities

TRANSITS

For an event to happen in your life you first need the specific Birth Time Astrology: Example: Saturn in the 9th house is good for awareness: The placement of Saturn in the ninth house can make the natives religious, pious and spiritually inclined. If you were born 8 hours before: Saturn in the 5th house produces seriously sick children. The time you were born is prompted by Sanchita Karma: the Accumulated Karma of all your Lifetimes. It would be impossible to experience and endure all these Sanchjta karma in one lifetime. Drude (Heavy) Karma takes many lifetimes to conquer. Adrude (Light) Karma will take less effort to overcome. Prarabdha Karma is experienced through the present body and is only a part of Sanchita karma that is ripe (Prarabdha Karma) and to be addressed this lifetime. Prarabdha Karma is a collection of past Sanchita karmas that your soul selected to be experienced through this present body, in this present life. From this stock of Sanchita karma, a handful is taken out to address in one lifetime and this handful of actions, which have begun to bear fruit and which will be exhausted only on their fruit being enjoyed or addressed is known as Prarabdha karma. Prarabdha Karma is past Life Karma shown by the Position of your Ketu in your Vedic Chart. Prarabdha Karma: Known as the ‘purpose’ karma of this present lifetime, where the purpose is to fulfill part of your karmic dues, experiences and lessons set out for this incarnation. Prarabdha Karma are those lessons and experiences that we must absolutely face in this lifetime, no questions asked. Prarabdha Karma is akin to a scoop of Karma taken from the massive pool of Sanchita KarmaYour Birth Time Astrology is subsequently influenced by your choices this lifetime: Kriyamana (Present Karma): Every thought word, deed, decision & action we create in our current life. All Kriyamana karmas flow from Sanchita karma and consequently shapes our future. Kriyamana is the karma we are creating with our desires. Kriyamana karma, or present karma, refers more specifically to the instantaneous or immediate Kriyamana Karma the consequences of your actions and is represented by the position of Rahu in your Vedic Chart. Distinction can be made between Kriyamana Karma that emphasizes the cause-and-effect between your actions and their immediate results and Agami Karma: future karma generated by your current actions and choices with consequences later in this lifetime or in future lifetimes. You need also to be running the planets Dasha or Bhuki: Running the particular Planet;s Dasha (running Mars Dasha) or Mars Bhukti (Saturn into Mars) and your present time’s astrology is influences by your present day astrology including the TRANSITS of planets through a particular house That will prompt the ripening of a particular Karma That is precipitated by the transit of the planet through the house that contains the Karma in question How does Karma become Ripe? For something to happen to you, you need 3 influences 1. A Planet in a house that controls a Concern: Mars in the 12th house means the Loss of Freedom 2. Run the particular Planets Dasha (running Mars Dasha) or Mars Bhukti (Saturn into Mars) 3. The Transit of the planets across that House – Then you go to jail for as long as the Sanchita Karma lasts. be it for a Month as Mars transits the 12th House. An AHA moment Tulsidas, a Hindu saint, said: "Our destiny was shaped long before the body came into being." We do have Free Will: Limited to how Aware and Disciplined we are and the Weight of Karma As long as the stock of Sanchita Karma lasts, there is the cycle of birth and death. Part of Sanchita Karma is taken as Prarabdha karma for being enjoyed or endured this lifetime,. A Jiva (Soul) cannot attain moksha (liberation) from the cycle of birth and death, until the accumulated Sanchita Karmas are completely exhausted. All Astrological Yogas indicate past Karma – the position of planets in your chart control impulses and influences the trajectory of this life Example: We just finished doing Katlyn’s astrology, she has Rahu in the 12th house. We predicted Kaitlyn has real knowledge/focus on 12th house issues of death. Without knowing her Vedic Chart she already does elaborate death ceremonies to gain insight. An AHA moment revealed from her chart. But she was also warned she has a dangerous Yoga: From one act of anger, she could lose Everything, house, home and family.Rahu in Vedic Astrology represents Desires you pursue this lifetime. So Rahu is a blessing or a curse depending on the house that is in. Be careful what you wish for. If you deeply desire something, you will manifest it in your life, now or in the future.So say you have Mars in the 12th house: you are likely to loose your freedom either by Jail, Illness or Mental Instability such as Agoraphobia Other parts of the chart will tell which: Say its Jail You are likely to go to Jail when you are running Mars Dasha or Bhukti and Mars transits the 12th house and be released when Mars exits the 12th house The Effect of Ketu in the 12th house is prompted by the Transit of Ketu over the position of Ketu in the 12th house. Rahu in the 6th house is Good

LAGNA – ASCENDANT

Lagna Ascendant – influences your Character The Ascendant is what is coming over the Horizon at the time of your birth While Western astrology assigns pre-eminence to the Sun sign, Jyotish awards that position to the Ascendant, which gives more insight into your life particulars than does any other factor in the horoscope. You can look up typical Cancer traits There are a few reliable principles regarding predictions based on the Ascendant: • What is the Constellation of the Ascendant and its ruler • The strength of the planets in the various houses • Relationship of the Lagna lord with the owners of various houses • The house the Sun rules in the chart • The ownership of the other houses in the chart Own House JB So important questions are: What Constellation is in the Ascendant? What planet rules what house and in what house is that ruler found? How do the various planets aspect each other? And in what Dasha (your Major Time Period) will its effect be felt?My Lagna is Sagittarius.

STRENGTH OF PLANETS

The Shadbala is the calculated score by which an astrologer can assess the strength of the planet. The effects of a planet whether auspicious or inauspicious will be in proportion to its strength. This Shadbala strength calculation is based on the different 'Bala' or strength factors. In ascendant, Jupiter and Mercury are strong. In North, Sun and Mars are strong in 10th house. In west, Saturn is strong and Venus and Mars acquires the directional form of strength in South in 4th house. In Vedic astrology, the strength of a planet depends on its natural qualities and how it interacts with other planets. Planets also have a permanent strength, called Naisargikabala, that they produce regardless of their position. The Sun has the greatest permanent strength, while Saturn has the least. In descending order of strength, the planets are: Sun, Moon, Venus, Jupiter, Mercury, Mars, and Saturn.The capacity of a particular planet to strongly influence your life and choices depends upon its planetary strength. This strength is determined by such factors as: • The aspects between planets that are friends or enemies • The friendliness of the ruling planet of the house in which the planet is found • Directional strength. A planet placed in its exalted Constellation attains is greatest strength for good or evil.Auspiciousness and Quality: The qualities of the Graha determined by it sign, Nakshatra position etc. will be expressed most advantageously when the planet is auspiciously placed. The qualities will be expressed with struggle and grief when the Graha is afflicted. Of course, in most cases there is no black and white situation, and there is some balance of afflictions and supporting factors, that bring out the qualities of the planet in a variety of ways. Since the strength of the planet indicates how potent it is to manifest its qualities, it is best to have the Graha with desirable qualities be strong, and the Graha with negative qualities be weak. However, this concept of "what is best" is highly subjective to one's purpose in life. In the life of a monk, a strong and unafflicted Venus may be out of place, as it will likely cause marriage. In the life of a wrestler, one probably would not have much use for a strong Moon. And a powerful Sun, would not serve people whose destiny it is to be in service.

RASHIS (CONSTELLATIONS/SIGNS)

Vedic astrology and zodiac signs differ in how they track the positions of planets and constellations: Vedic astrology Uses the sidereal zodiac, which measures the motion of planets against the fixed positions of stars. Vedic astrology is based on the Vedas, the oldest sacred texts of Hinduism, and the belief that a person's karma is related to the positions of the planets and stars. Vedic astrology also includes the sun, moon, and seven planets, each with a name and dates that differ from Western astrology. Zodiac signs Use the tropical zodiac, which measures the motion of planets against the position of the sun on the spring equinox. A zodiac sign is a symbol that represents a person's personality, emotions, and motivations. Each person has a zodiac sign for each planet, the moon, and the sun. Because of the Earth's tilt and whirl, known as precession, stars and constellations don't remain fixed. Each star moves roughly one degree every 70 years, so a person's Vedic zodiac sign may differ from their Western zodiac sign

The eighth house – Randhra bhava

The 8th house and its lord is the most malefic one in a Natal Horoscope more so in the event if it contains a Mooltrikona sign of any planet.

The bad sides of the 8th house primarily include suffering from chronic diseases including undiagnosed one, sudden accident and calamities in our life as well as the source of termination of our wonderful life. After marriage, a lot of readjusting is required.

There is a separation of the family one was born in, and one’s own stability and integrity is tested. It is a stage in life that can be very vulnerable. If one does things right at this stage, the foundation is in place for a long healthy life. This stage is a junction point of past and future, and the 8th house indicates Astrology for that reason.

The 8th house corresponds to the lowest part of the trunk, the genitals, anus / eliminatory system.

Scorpio corresponds to the 8th house. Fixed, but ruled by the forceful Mars, add the signification of sudden calamities to the 8th house. On the positive side, the sharp and analytical Mars can also add an element of research to this house.

As the lord of the 9th house is in the 8th house, this lady will not be prosperous during the Dashas of Saturn, Ketu and Rahu. Financial responsibilities weighed heavily upon her – she was the sole breadwinner.

Saturn is in its own house?

During Ketu Dasha period she battled cancer.

However, to compensate she has a Mahapurusha Yoga and a combination for success in business – Venus Sun combination and

Svaveeryaddhana Yoga: The 2nd lord occupies a Kendra or Trikona from the Lagna lord. You can accumulate wealth through your own effort
