Dear Sasisekaranji, You mentioned that venus is under curse and that Venus is Pitrikaraka, hence this will cause problems in lineage. Does this imply pitru dosha. I thought this only happens when the luminaries are afflicted. Rgds, Pradip

Mixing a small amount of Sonamukhi along with Triphala powder will also provide great relief. But be careful not to add too much Sonamukhi as it is a very strong laxative. Rgds, Pradip

Dear All, Is there any evidence to suggest that Kariyatu and Kadu herbs are harmful to male fertility if taken for a prolonged period of time? I'm aware that these herbs have been used in ayurveda for thousands of years. However I heard someone mention that these could harm the sperm count if taken for too long. Is this true? Regards, Pradip

The 7th house is not subject to any significant benefic or malefic influences. 7th lord in 4th is considered good. However the 7th lord which is satrun is under the malific influences of mars and sun. The karaka's of marriage, i.e. Jupiter and Venus are also reasonably well placed. Hence I dont see any major adverse impact on marriage taking all the above into account.

In the attached horoscope, Saturn is the lord of the 7th house positioned in the 4th house along with the moon. Saturn is exalted in the 4th. (House of home and happiness) I personally dont see any problems in the girls horoscope as regards marriage is concerned.

I have a basic question for all learned astrologers. Within Horary astrology how do you predict considering the transit of a plant within in sign. For example we all know that the 2,5,7,9,11th transit of Jupiter from the Natal moon is auspicious. However Jupiter will take 1 year to go through each sign. Now how do we predict considering the movement of Jupiter through various degrees within a particular sign. I look forward to giudance on the above. Regards, Pradip

WIth Jupiter and Mars in Leo ascendant, I would rate your Manglik Dosha as a mild one. Also Jupiter Mars conjunction is favourable in terms of career, status.

You seventh house is tenanted with 2 malefic planets which are retrograde. This signifies a delay in marriage. The 7th house of marriage is not well tenanted. The 10th house of career is also subject to some malefic influences.

Dear Learned asrolgers, Can you please throw some light on the questions raised in my notes above. Pradip

Also is Sanyasa yoga prevelant in this horoscope?

Dear sasisekaran and Deepaji, Yes the date and time of birth is 17th Dec 1973 at 8:35 am in Mumbai. Mercury is in the 12th house. Any major observations form this and remedies? Regards, Pradip

I know somebody who has surya rahu in lagna with Shani, Ketu in 7th House. Ascendant is Saggitarius. Jupiter Venus in 2nd house and Moon in 10th from Lagna. Mars in moola trikona in 5th house from Lagna. What does this signify?
