Case studies in Jyotish

By Madhu N Nair (Pranav)

Case study (1)
The Mother of Immortal Bliss and the
hug of scandals
This great country Bharat from time immemorial was the hub of
spirituality
!t is here "uestions were as#ed about life$ purpose of life$ death and after
death e%perience The word Bharat is synonym with Bharathi or &oddess
'araswathi the presiding deity of #nowledge ('amyama#um vannam
'ari##unaval iti 'araswathi) meaning (not literal) that which (#nowledge)
flows without any interruption is 'araswathi
!t is in this country the *oly +edas$ +edanta the ultimate repository of
spiritual #nowledge etc originated$ !t is here$ the all time great genius li#e
'age +yasa was born The country was always a shelter for those
persecuted in the name of religion in other countries The great seers of this
country were never sectarian or narrow minded and their prayer was (,o#a
samastha su#ino bhavanthu means (,et the entire world re-oice)
.ccording to the !ndian thought stream$ the very purpose of life is (.tma
'a#shat#aram) or self/reali0ation that means to get liberation from the cycle
of birth and re/birth .n individual 1eeva or soul after intense sadhana
(spiritual e%ercise) attains self/realisation and is #nown by the name
(1eevam mu#tha) (liberated while alive) 'uch a soul after attaining self/
realisation may prefer to give up his or her body at own will or may opt to
live li#e any other person not only -ust to burn out the previous #armas but
also to act as a guide for other aspirants of Truth They accept anyone who
is desirous of leading a spiritual life
!t is a fact that every human being comes out of vagina and finally ends up
as dust but a 1eevan mu#tha though appears to a an ordinary mortal in the
eyes of others is totally different and is ,ord in humam form Precisely for
this reason *oly +edas says (.charyavan Purusho veda) means the &uru is
+edas in human form human mind can never comprehend the greatness
of such &uru2s
.mitanandamay 3evi popularly #nown as ( the hugging saint) or .mma
(means Mother) born in a poor family of fisherman is such a soul No
words can reflect her greatness and even her mere presence are surcharged
with ,ove and peace

The student of 1yotish should not forget the fact that even 1eevan mu#thas
or the liberated ones or .vathara Purushas are sub-ect to the mercy of Time
since 4niverse itself is created by Time $ e%ist in Time and ultimately gets
destroyed by Time (Maha Pralaya) and 1yotish is nothing but the study of
Time $ that is $ the 5aal +idaana sastra
*ail Tred+ell ,repressed se-ual frustrations.
&ail Tredwell $ a former disciple of .mma who left the asram fifteen years
ago$ has now come up with a highly controversial boo# titled (*oly *ell .
memoir of faith devotion and pure madness ( alleging that she was raped
repeatedly by another disciple and was physically tortured by .mma To
any ob-ective reader$ the contents of the boo# is nothing more than gossipy
and vindictive and is -ust a tale the author weaved out of her imagination
Jupiter and !aturn 'eturns /
1upiter or 'aturn returns means these planets Transitting in the same sign
occupied by it at birth
6or .mma$ a 1upiter 7eturn as well as a 'aturn 7eturn is going on Transit
1upiter is in &emini $ where it was at birth $ and Transit of 'aturn in ,ibra
where natal 'aturn is placed
1upiter is ruler of the third house (media) and si%th house (enemies)
'aturn is ruler of fifth house (disciples) and is in the ascendant (self)
Transit 1upiter the ,8 of enemies from &emini (media) aspect natal (Transit
also) 'aturn the ,9 of disciples This causes the hostilities with disciples
Transit !aturn in 0i1ra2 the ascendant /
!t is to be noted that ascendant stands for (name and fame
Usually, when Transit Saturn moves in the ascendant and at birth if
some natural malefic occupies either the Ascendant, seventh or tenth,
this Saturn Transit , will either create ill-repute or disease or both 3
:hen the controversy erupted Transit 'aturn was moving very close to the
rising degree of the chart that has two natural malefics$ vi0 'aturn and
5ethu in placed in the .scendant and tenth $respectively $ at birth$ fulfilling
the observation in the previous para
4asha of !aturn5(enus 6"6 )pril 20" 777"6Jun 20"6)
Saturn dasha Venus sub period and vice versa is always noticed for
bringing forth some dramatic or undesirable events in life irrespective of
the Ascendant .
'aturn the dashalord is located in the .scendant ( name and fame) and
+enus the sub period ruler is lord of eighth house of conspiracy$ intrigues
and scandals
!t may be noted in this conte%t that some believe that .mma who is doing
yeoman service to the man#ind is on the threshold of being nominated for
Nobel peace pri0e and some religious fanatics apparently annoyed by this
is bent upon tarnishing her image and all these scandals is a part of
international conspiracy
The +orst of the ele8enth 9ouse /
:e are told that among all *ouses of a horoscope $ eleventh $ an
upachayasthana (improving house ) is the best considering its ability to
confer gains $prosperity and progress
:hat is little #nown is eleventh is si%th rec#oned from si%th house and as
such in the dasha or sub period of eleventh lord or eleventh house occupant$
native will invariably e%perience many traits attributed to si%th house such
as difficulties$ debts$ disease $ litigation etc
:hile attributing malfeasance to ;

word (prabalasha utttarauttaram) means malfeasance intensifies in the

. study of few correctly cast chart will convince anyone the veracity of the
sage2s statement
!n this case study $ you could notice it is in the subperiod of +enus stationed
in ele8enth house all these allegations and scandals arose
:-amining the su1 period ruler (enus
+enus is placed in its detriment sign ,eo in Maga na#shatra of which #ethu
is the starlord . planet placed in its detriment or inimical sign doring its sub
period usually causes enmities
!n many cases studied by me $ ! have noticed when one runs the sub period
of a planet posited in any of the kethus nakshatra ,vi! Aswini, "agha or
"oola, there will be lot of undercurrents in the life of the native during
that phase . There will be conspiracy and machinations against the native
. #ven if the native is aware of such things he may not really be able to
check it despite the power he wields . $e will get wrong advice "isplaced
trust and over optimism is yet another feature of this period .
The followers of stellar theory may note that the sub period ruler +enus the
owner of .sc cum <

&ama Thri@ona and 2
nd
rd marriages
This scribe in his personal studies has noted that in the Trigon ;$ @ > 11 that
is technically referred to as (5ama Thri#ona ( $ the eleventh and the third
houses plays a pivotal role in the second and third marriage respectively
Aven for live/in/arrangements eleventh house $ its lord and eleventh house
occupants has a significant role provided multiple relation and orB more
than one marriage is promised in the basic chart
'ele8ance of ninth house for second marriage
'ome .strologers believe that the ninth house connection is necessary for
second marriage !n the modern conte%t$ an e%amination of few charts of
second marriage will rule out such a notion !n earlier times$ when wife dies$
in some communities the native use to marry wife2s sister Ninth is third
house of sibling rec#oned from seventh house of spouse .nd this is the
rationale behind such a deduction
6urther$ there is a yoga called ('apathni yoga ( formed by the con-unction of
seventh and ninth lord !t is said that a person with this yoga will marry his
wife2s sister and will #eep both as his wives This yoga$ if you observe$ is
based on the rationale mentioned in the previous para
:-amination of se8enth house
The seventh house falls in Pisces ruled by 1upiter that is wea# due to its
Placement in dusthana or unfriendly twelfth house
:ithin one degree of the sign ,eo$ in retrograde mode
.fflicted by 'un$ ruler of twelfth house$ occupying its inimical sign
."uarius
*owever this wea#ness of 1upiter the seventh lord alone is not enough for
triple marriages
:-amination of eighth house
Aighth house is for wed/loc# or marital bond
Aighth lord Mars is wea# due to two reason
it is debilitated in navamsa (3/C)
!t receives the aspect of retrograde 1upiter
To sum up$ the eighth lord that denotes stability in marriage is rendered
wea#
7eaders may note that interestingly Mars ruling third house of third
marriage aspects seventh house from 3ual sign 'agittarius This is not to
suggest that for +irgo .scendant Mars as ruler of third house if aspects
Pisces the seventh house will lead to triple marriage Dnly if there is severe
affliction to seventh house or its lord as well as eighth house or eighth lord$
such an aspect of Mars will promote three marriage
Third marriage in !aturn5'ahu
Both the dasha lord 'aturn and sub period ruler are in third house of third
marriage
4eath of !unanda =ush@ar in !aturn dasha 5Jupiter
Could it have been predicted in advance that the native2s wife will die in
'aturn dasha E
The answer is FA' if one has gone through the classics in -yotish
%t is said in classical te&t books that if natural malefics occupy fourth or
eighth from Venus native will e&perience unnatural death of spouse.
!n this case $ two malefic vi0 'aturn and 7ahu occupy eighth from venus
sans benefic influence in sign 'corpio$ a malefic sign Naturally$ when
the native gets 'aturn dasha that is located in <
th
from +enus $ death of
spouse could have been hinted

period ruler in currency is moving in &emini and is under an affliction from
natal Mars the ruler of eighth house of controversy Bconspiracy$

Mars stands for cops and the aspect from natal mars received by the Transit
sub period ruler 1upiter e%plains natives2 interaction with sleuths following
the death of his spouse
Aatal Transit of Bodes /
Nodal Transit to natal planets or #ey or sensitive points in a chart imply
(situation beyond the control of the native)
'econd house and its lord signify life Imate2s longevity being eighth
rec#oned from seventh house of spouse
Transit Nodes were 0eroing in on natal +enus the ruler of the second house
that controls the longevity of spouse on the day of death of 'unanda push#ar
Ai-ed sign and Tenth house impact /
'ub period ruler 1upiter as well as its dispositor 'un are in Ai-ed signs (no
change in present status) ,eo and ."uarius respectively
1upiter is in the tenth house of governance from the dasha lord 'aturn and is
currently Transiting in &emini the tenth house (&ovt) from natal ascendant 3
4ue to these reasons he continues to remain as Minister despite all
these contro8ersies
3r Tharror has decided to contest once again because sub period ruler
1upiter2s dispositor 'un moves to si%th house of competition 'un the
political planet also aspects 1upiter
Considering 3r Tharoor2s contribution to his constituency$ he is sure to win$
especially in the wa#e of communist parties fielding a new comer against
him
Nevertheless$ .strologically spea#ing $ the sub period ruler 1upiter placed
in the twelfth house of failure is unli#ely to grant victory for him in the
election. And once Transit 'upiter enters punarvasu nakshatra by () April
(*+, he is likely to be legally entangled -so far, no case against him . .
/ative should also take utmost care of his health in this sub period of
'upiter, especially of cardiac health since the afflicted sub period ruler
'upiter in sign 0eo -$eart. is also the ruler of fourth house of $eart3
