In part one of the article published in the March, 1997, issue of the magazine the role of curative and preventive remedies was brought out besides discussing the techniques to identify (i) functional nature of planets; (ii) afflictions; (iii) conjunctions; and analysing results of sub period lords. Before proceeding further with the subject, I would like to discuss a few further points which bother the minds of astrologers.

The students keep on asking about the status of the house containing non-mooltrikona sign of the same planet. You will find in your experience that until and in the absence of benefic or malefic close influence on Most Effective Point (MEP), the significations of that house will not bother the person at all.

The systems' approach considers the weakness of the planet which is placed in the mooltrikona sign of another planet.

Rahu Ketu in exaltation state give materialist benefits while debilitated Rahu involves in exposed scandals and acute physical sufferings.

We can't decipher educational prospects of father, his assets, etc. from the twelfth house which is the fourth house from the ninth house but sometime just for an estimation relations of father can be seen from the relevant houses counted from the ninth house. However, I desist from doing and recommending the same. The detailed analysis can only be made from an individual's horoscope for his/her own self only and general indications for spouse, children, parents, elder and younger coborns and friends. For example we can see whether the person will derive happiness from his children or at a particular time whether the child is enjoying or in trouble but we cannot identify about the educational or professional or emotional matters of a child from one's chart in details.

Effects of parivartana (exchange of signs/asterisms by planets) - under the systems' approach we do not recognise this concept. Each planet is considered separately for its placement, strength, relationship with other planets, etc.

Both the positions - natal and transit - of the planet under impact are to be studies. The result of a particular house will be influenced by a transiting planet when it is near to its mep depending upon its functional nature whether benefic or malefic.

Bright rays - means a non-combust planet other than the Moon. The Moon is with bright rays when it is 72 degrees away from the Sun on either side.

The results of the planets in the state of infancy or oldage vary in degree of strength as per their longitudes as detailed below:-

Infancy

When 0 degree power is zero When 1 degree power if 20% When 2 40% When 3 60% When 4 80% When 5 degrees and above 100%

Oldage

When 30 degrees power is zero When 29 20% When 28 40% When 27 60% When 26 80% When 25 or less 100%

Exaltation sign adds the strength. The peak point of exaltation or debilitation has very little relevance.

Without proper competence claims of astrologers are totally useless and earns bad reputation only. One acquire credentials with one's competence over a period of time.

Caution - astrologers do not have to and cannot give running commentary. The best thing is in the shortest possible time indicate the strong and weak areas in chart and prescribe appropriate remedies.

Regarding transit

The impact of transit functional malefics is on both functional malefics and benefics. The things governed by the planets would be there general and particular significations. Similarly, the impact is also on the mep of a house when the significations of the house occupied and house aspected would be influenced by a transit planet.

Transit of functional benefics over the natal position of functional malefics or close aspect of natal functional malefics on transit functional benefics also spoil the significations of the functional benefics. This dimension does not appear to be prominently discussed earlier.

By transit strength we mean the planet should be strong. Interaction between the sub periods and transit is as under:-

During the course of the sub period of a planet the significations of the house ruled by the sub period lord, the general significations of the planet and the significations of the house where the planet is placed would be touched during the operation of the sub period lord.

The transit means when the planetary position on any given date subsequent to the date of the birth is studied with reference to the ascendant and the position of the planets in the natal chart.

For example let us take a chart with the sign Sagittarius rising in the ascendant. In this chart the lord of the eleventh house, Venus, is placed in the twelfth house ruling losses. During the sub period of the Venus loss of elder brother, income and trouble to friends is indicated. Now in the transit the functional malefics Rahu/Ketu may form close conjunction/aspect with any of the three:

i) most effective point of the eleventh house. ii) the natal position of Venus iii) the transit position of the sub period lord, Venus.

The example chart pertains to a lady born 22nd December,1964, at 0850 Hrs at Copenhagen 55N41' 12E'35 CE TIME (GMT +1). In her case Venus main period (dasa) Venus sub period (bhukti) started on 24th oct'1981 and was to run upto 23rd February, 1985. Now from the horoscope we would see that an incident like loss of an elder brother is seen in the sub period of Venus. When the Venus bhukti was running and transit Venus was of 1 degree in the sign Capricorn on 2nd February, 1982, and it retrograded and came into contact with transit Ketu which was at 29 degrees in the sign Sagittarius on the 1st February,.1982. On 21st February, 1982, again the transit Venus and transit Ketu were within 3 degrees range and the sub period lord was not only weak due to its being in the state of infancy but it was in close conjunction with Ketu which is also placed in the house of losses in the natal chart and is having the inclinations of causing loss with whatever planet it forms close conjunction or aspect. The native lost her elder brother.

The sub period lord sets the trend as per the lordship and the placement of the planet besides the other influences on the planet while the transit planets cause influence whenever they come into contact with the natal position or the transit position of the sub period lord.

I hope this gives better understanding into the interaction between the transit results and the sub period lord results with the help of the above example.

The evolution of soul depends on the strength of the Sun, Jupiter and the lords of the tenth and first houses.

The afflictions to strong planets are effective if they are within one degree range. The afflictions to weak planets are fully effective if they are within one degree range while afflictions are 80%, 60%,40%,20% 0% if the afflicting planet is having a 1 deg, 2deg, 3 deg, 4 deg and 5 deg longitudinal difference respectively from the weak planet. It is most severe if the weak and afflicted planets are badly placed. The experience based on the feedback of the people indicates that these afflictions can be taken care of upto 80 - 90% with the help of the astral remedies i.e. Kavach and charities etc. If the lord is strong the damage is minimum. For non- mooltrikona signs the impact of the affliction is 100% to 0% depending upon the longitudinal difference as explained above for the planets. If a planet being lord of a house is weak one should see the strength of the significator (karka) and the supplementary houses.

For starting analysis underline the functional malefic planets and identify the conjunctions/aspects with 5 degree orb. Put a circle around the planets which are afflicted. Now you can start the analysis.

The problem is always with regard to weak, badly placed and afflicted planets or the sub periods of the functional malefics for trend results related to sub periods. The short term problem is indicated by the malefic transit over the weak natal planets. The good results should be indicated for the significations of the well placed strong planets having good close conjunctions/aspects.

A functional benefics position in the dusthana houses make it weak but if it is in the eighth house near the most effective point of the house then despite weakness it is good as it aspects the most effective point of the second house. In the case of Jupiter it also aspects the twelfth, and fourth houses besides the second house.

MARRIAGE SIGNIFICATORS

(1) the lord of the seventh house. In case there is no mooltrikona sign in the seventh house then the lord of the houses signifying marriage (that is the second, fourth, eighth or twelfth house containing mooltrikona sign) are considered. For various ascendants besides the significator for marriage the following planet(s) will become prime determinants of marriage:-

Aries Venus Taurus Sun Gemini Jupiter Cancer Sun Leo Saturn Virgo Venus Libra Mars Scorpio Jupiter Sagittarius Moon. Capricorn Moon Aquarius Sun Pisces Mercury

(2) Venus and Jupiter are significators for marriage for males and females, respectively.

The marriage can also take place in the sub periods of the strong planets placed in the houses signifying marriage. These planets become secondary significators of marriage.

If the prime determinants and the significator for marriage is strong and there in no affliction to the most effective points of the houses signifying marriage, the marriage takes place at the appropriate time. The good strength of Venus hastens the process. The delay is caused by:

(1) The close influence of the functional malefic planets or the most malefic planet on the prime determinants for marriage;

(2) Significator of marriage being weak or badly placed and or afflicted by the most malefic or a functional malefic planet.

(3) When the prime determinants and secondary determinants are weak and /or are afflicted.

(4) When the lords of the eighth and/or twelfth houses containing a mooltrikona sign are weak, badly placed and are afflicted.

The influence of the functional malefic delays while the influence of the most malefic planet (MMP) delays inordinately and/or denies. The malefic influence of the MMP cannot be mellowed without persistent performance of the appropriate astral remedies. If there is a mooltrikona sign in the eighth house from the ascendant, its lord is called MMP. In case there is no mooltrikona sign in the eighth house then the role of the MMP is played by the lord of the twelfth house containing the mooltrikona sign followed by Ketu.

The malefic influences are effectively tackled with the help of propitiatory measures for the afflicting planets which are as under:-

The Sun Give handful of wet wheat with 15-20 grams of jaggery (Gur) to a cow or serving one's father or helping oldaged needy persons.

The Moon Give a dough to a cow or serving one's mother or old aged women.

Mars Morning prayers for ten minutes and being considerate to one's servant.

Mercury Offering green fodder (about 2 KG) to a cow or helping poor and needy children.

Jupiter Offering one bundi laddu (a yellow coloured sweet to the birds or offering service to one's preceptor/teacher.

Venus Offering white coloured sweet or helping ladies in distress.

Saturn Offering simple salty food to the birds or helping poor.

Rahu Giving away brown coloured sweets to the birds or helping old aged needy persons or lepers.

Ketu Offering some food to a stray dog or serving/helping institutions/persons working for spiritualism.

These remedies are to be performed daily in the morning after bath and before breakfast.

The weakness of the significator planets, as indicated earlier, are made up with the help of a specially prepared KAVACH to be worn by the native in an auspicious time.

Now, with the help of a few case studies we will discuss the matter for a good grasp of planetary influences causing delay in marriage and application of astral remedies for expediting the marriage:

Chart 1 Female born 11th January, 1967, at 2200 Hrs, 28N57 76E38, India.

The sign Leo rises in the ascendant. The planet Saturn is the prime determinant for the Leos. Saturn is weak in the chart due to infancy and bad placement. Mercury is also weak due to its being in the state of combustion. The Moon is also weak due to bad placement. The MMP also afflicts the badly placed significator for husband, Jupiter. The MEP of the seventh house is closely aspected and afflicted by the functional malefic. The lord of the second house, Mercury, is also closely aspected and afflicted by the functional malefic, Rahu. The weaknesses and afflictions in the chart were delaying the finalisation of marriage when the help of astrology was sought. The propitiatory astral remedies for the planets Rahu, Ketu and the Moon were suggested besides wearing a KAVACH containing the mystical numbers of the planets the Sun, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn and Mars. The performance of astral remedies helped in solemnisation of the marriage in early 1995 during the sub period of Mercury in the main period of Rahu which was in progress since 9th June, 1992. But for the remedies the weak and afflicted Mercury may not have blessed the native with the marriage.

Chart 2 Female born 21st August, 1953, 0420 Hrs. 22N35 88E23, India.

The sign Cancer rises in the ascendant. The Sun becomes the prime significator of marriage in this chart. The Sun is in the second house and lacks power to some extent. The lord of the fourth house, Venus, is badly placed and has become weak. Venus is closely afflicted by the aspect of the functional malefic, Saturn. The lord of the house of marital tie, Saturn, is almost dead and weak as it is in the thirtieth degree. This weak Saturn is also afflicted due to the severe affliction of functional malefic Jupiter. In this case the lord of the fourth house is under the severe affliction of the MMP and hence it caused a lot of delay in the marriage. The propitiatory astral remedies suggested for the MMP, Jupiter, Rahu and Ketu helped in marriage during the sub period of Saturn in the main period of the Moon. Later on for prosperity and good health the native also took advantage of the KAVACH for the functional benefic planets, the Moon, the Sun, Venus and Mars.

Chart 3 Female born 17th March, 1967, 1707 Hrs. 28N39 77E13, INDIA.

The sign Leo rises in the ascendant. Saturn is badly placed and combust. Mercury is placed in the mooltrikona sign of Saturn and has, therefore, become weak. The Moon is MMP and its close aspect on the MEP of the fourth house is undesirable for the purpose of marriage. The MEP of the seventh house is closely afflicted by the aspect of Ketu besides the seventh lord being weak and badly placed. The significator for marriage, Jupiter, is also weak due to infancy and bad placement. The weakness of Jupiter also robs the person of discipline in life which is required for strict performance of the astral remedies to ward off the affliction of the MMP. The native's mother approached for astrological help in the year 1995. The astral remedies were prescribed but the native never performed them with sincerity and regularity. The result is that she is still unmarried.

Chart 4 Male born 30th June, 1965, at 0200 Hrs. 29N00 77E42, INDIA.

The sign Aries rises in the ascendant. Venus is the prime significator as well as the significator for wife. Venus is closely afflicted by the functional malefic Mercury. The MEPs of the second, fourth, eighth and twelfth houses are under the close affliction of Rahu-Ketu. Jupiter placed in the second house is also under the close affliction of Rahu-Ketu. Due to the severe afflictions the marriage of the native was inordinately delayed in spite of the professionally settled medico. The native approached for astral help in March, 1995, when he was under the sub period of Jupiter in the main period of Saturn. The application of propitiatory remedies for Mercury, Rahu and Ketu and use of KAVACH for the functional benefic planets helped the native and his marriage was solemnised in the end of the year 1995.

Chart 5 Male born 28th September, 1947, 0050 Hrs. 28N22 75E22, INDIA.

The prime significator for marriage, Jupiter, is in infancy, badly placed and under the severe affliction of MMP, Ketu. The significator for wife is in its sign of debilitation and has become weak. The marriage of the native was inordinately delayed. The native married in 48th year. The marriage was not a happy affair from the very beginning. Astral remedies were prescribed for the harmonius continuance of the marriage.

Chart 6 Male born 05th November, 1940. 0615 Hrs, 22N35 88E23, INDIA.

Mars becomes the prime significator for marriage. Mars is badly placed and afflicted by the conjunction of Rahu. The significator for wife, Venus, is badly placed in the state of debilitation. The MMP afflicts the MEP of the seventh house. The secondary significators Saturn and Jupiter, too, become weak due to the weakness of dispositor, Mars. The native at the age of 56 years is still unmarried and has now left the idea of marrying.

Chart 7 Male born 16th September, 1965, 2202 Hrs. 16N34 80E40 INDIA.

The sign Taurus rises in the ascendant. The Sun becomes the prime significator of marriage. The Sun lack power as it is in the first degree. The MMP, Jupiter, is afflicting the MEP of the second and eighth house. The weakness of the Sun and the affliction of the MMP has denied marriage so far. Though Jupiter in this chart becomes the secondary significator of marriage but its role as MMP takes the precedence over the former role. As Jupiter is MMP the native is not regular in the sincere performance of astral remedies and hence the delay in marriage continues. From July, 1995, the sub period of Venus in the main period of Rahu is in progress.

Chart 8 Male born 18th October, 1953, 1830 Hrs. 71W38 42N34, USA.

Taurus rises in the ascendant. The prime significator, the Sun, is weak due to its being (i) in the sign of debilitation, (ii) in the state of infancy, and (iii) placed in a malefic house. The significator for marriage, Venus, is in its sign of debilitation. The MMP afflicts the MEP of the second and eighth houses. The MEP of the seventh house is severely afflicted by the close aspect of the functional malefic, Ketu. The marriage was inordinately delayed. The native was married in the year 1990. The native sought astral remedies for progeny in the year 1995 as he was not blessed with a child upto 1995. The MEPs of the fifth and second houses are afflicted and the significator for progeny is weak due to its being in the state of infancy.

Chart 9 Female born 05th November, 1965, 1625 Hrs. 28N39 77E13 INDIA.

The prime significator of marriage is in close conjunction with Ketu. The lord of the house of family is in the thirtieth degree and hence very weak. The significator for marriage, Jupiter, is under the close aspect of the MMP and afflicted. Due to these planetary influences the efforts of the parents for finalising marriage of this girl were not being successful. Astrological help was sought in the year 1990 when the native was running the sub period of the Moon in the main period of Mercury. The native was not prepared for performance of the astral remedies which is quite clear from the affliction of Jupiter by MMP, Venus. The native was thinking that she belongs to a well established and respectable family and is well educated, well employed and beautiful and the marriage will take place within next four to six months. Seeing the weakness of the next sub period lord, Mars, and the following sub period of severely afflicting Rahu the marriage may not take place for next 2 or 3 years if the astral remedies were not performed. The girl was adamant. As the luck would have it the marriage could not be finalised for the next two years. Again the parents approached for astrological help and confirming that now the girl was ready to perform the astral remedies as prescribed. With the help of the astral remedies the marriage took place in December, 1992.

Chart 10 Female born 09th February, 1966, 1323 Hrs. 28N39 77E13, INDIA.

The sign Taurus rises in the ascendant. The prime significator planet, the Sun, is placed in the ninth house and is closely aspected and afflicted by the MMP. Jupiter is MMP for the people born in Taurus ascendant. Jupiter also afflicts the MEP of the seventh house. The delay in marriage was indicated. In such cases the marriage cannot be finalised without the performance of appropriate astral remedies. The position of Jupiter as a significator is weak as it is in the 28th degree. As the luck would have it the native was not ready to perform the astral remedies. The marriage could not be finalised even in a period of more than two years in spite of the persistent efforts of the parents. The native agreed to perform the astral remedies only in August, 1991, when it was indicated that the marriage may be finalised before March, 1992. The marriage of the native took place in January, 1992.

THE NATIVES ARE ADVISED TO CONTINUE TO PERFORMANCE OF ASTRAL REMEDIES EVEN AFTER THE MARRIAGE FOR ENJOYING A PEACEFUL AND HARMONIOUS MARRIED LIFE. THE AFFLICTION OF THE MMP IS AS POWERFUL AS THE FEET OF ANGADA IN THE COURT OF RAVANA. THE IMPACT OF ASTRAL REMEDIES CAN ONLY CUT THE DELAY OTHERWISE IT DENIES THE MARITAL HAPPINESS.

I hope the case studies will help the readers in comprehending the technique of locating delay in the marriage and application of astral remedies. In the next part of this article I will take up the issue of problems in the progenies matters and application of astral remedies for getting a child.
