[Guest guest]

Dear Respected Prof Choudhry & Dear Members & Astrologers of the SATVA & SAMVA

Fraternities,

 

Namasthe. The Part I-B of the Conference Proceedings, covering Prof V K

Choudhry’s talk on:

 

‘The Impact of the Functional Malefic Planets’ is reproduced below, for the

convenience of SATVA Members.

 

Best Regards

 

S Bhagavadpada

 

 

 

Proceedings of the Fifth SA Intl Conf[Feb 20th, 21st, 2010], at Gurgaon, India:

 

PART I-B:Fore-Noon Session on the First Day:

 

Prof on: “The Impact of the Functional Malefic Planets”

 

 

As the one documenting the Conf Proceedings, I might have made the inadvertent

mistake of leaving out the last few minutes of Professor’s Inaugural Address. In

case, I have indeed made such an omission, that material is what we now start

with. So, all in all, we have not lost anything which the Professor has spoken

about in the fore-noon session of the first day.

 

 

Let me also add at this stage, what, properly should have been done much earlier

in the Inaugural Address itself, namely that there were very deeply involved

Astrologers, from many parts of the world, all vibrant practitioners of the

Systems Approach, who had sent in their warm good wishes to

and all the delegates, for all success with this SA Intl Conference. They were

Mr David Hawthorne (USA), Mr Jo Cohen (France), Mr Remi Panisset (France), Dr

Shayn Smith (USA) and Mr Thor (ever vibrant on SAMVA)(Iceland).

 

 

 

A few weeks prior to the Conf, I had made a request to the Professor, that it

would be to the advantage of all delegates, if at each of these Conferences, he

chose to speak to us, on a theme, which he considered important, for our general

understanding of the SA. Notwithstanding the health reasons, which did come in

the way [you will hear of this shortly]; acquiescing to this request, the

Professor, in his lucid talk, has given us all the opportunity to absorb a

number of lessons from many illustrative examples of Charts, where, the

sufferings inflicted by the Functional Malefic Planets was in full relief.

 

 

 

As he had begun the Inaugural Address [with the traditional invocation of the

auspicious ‘Ganeshaya Namaha’], for this talk too, the Professor’s first words

were that same obeisance to God. Taking the example of his own personal life

first, he now proceeded to illustrate the sufferings inflicted by the Malefic

Ra, in his Natal Chart, during a persistent Tr Stationary impact on his natal

Su, which was the Lord of the IIIH, in his Gemini Asdt Chart.

 

 

said, that: as soon as the Tr Stationary Influence of Ra, had

taken hold of his Natal Sun at 26 degs in his Chart, “It tried to block off all

channels of communication”[Tr Ra was in Sagittarius, and the Su was the Lord of

the IIIH, well-placed in the IIIH itself, and he was also running the Ra

sub-period].When he took some medicines to alleviate a cold, he found that he

was completely unable to even speak, no words were coming out of his mouth, even

when he made an attempt to articulate. In the restaurant, when I enquired

further into this, as to why the IIIH should govern ‘vak’ or speech, as this was

the special domain of the IIH, the Professor forthwith declared that, both the

IIH, as well as the IIIH, governed the spoken expression, as the IIIH covered

all channels of communication.[sutra #1]

 

 

 

He was also saying earlier, again in the restaurant, during a conversation Dr J

Miller and I had with the Professor, that, all in all, the affliction was

communicating a message to him that he will now have to remain silent, at least

for the next few days! The silence enforced by the Tr affliction lasted 3 days,

after which, he was able to speak well again, but now, there were other new

areas, where, there was fresh trouble, blocking communication again in one way

or the other.

 

 

A painful sensation developed in one of the teeth, so he had to go and see a

dentist, which was the beginning of a new cycle of trouble [sun has the ‘teeth’

and ‘organ of voice’ as one of the general significations-See Pg 42, “Self

Learning Course”].The dentist suggested a root-canal surgery, and though the

Professor knew fully well, that this was hardly the time to go in for such a

dental-surgery, yet, he was saying more or less, that even this basic knowledge

and awareness were not allowed to have a say, so he, ‘unwittingly subjected

himself’ to the root canal surgery[or, to be more precise, it was Rahu, who

‘pushed him into the root canal surgery’, notwithstanding his superior knowledge

and awareness], and rather than this being a solution for his problem, it became

the cause for fresh trouble-the problematic tooth now broke-off, and had to be

ultimately extracted. This whole process lasted a month, during which time, the

Tr affliction from Ra to his natal Su was in full swing.

 

In this way, threw much light on the various repercussions of

a Tr Stationary long-lasting affliction, and went on to say, that:“Sometimes,

during Transit Stationary long-drawn out afflictions, even Remedies will not

give the adequate protection, which they are well known to give, under normal

afflictions”[sutra # 2] .

 

As though this misery was not enough, he now found to his consternation that his

tongue was being bruised, because it was getting bitten by his teeth. This

strange difficulty also persisted at night, when the Professor was not

speaking-yet, the tongue in movement was hurt by his teeth.*

 

*Lest readers wonder how such an affliction could come to trouble, even so

divinely inspired an astrologer, as ; I am impelled to recall

from no less hallowed a source than the Old Testament; a kindred admission,

which the illustrious Jewish Prophet Moses, makes to God, in a moment of

profound mystical communion. [God commissions Moses to lead his people out of

slavery, from the Egyptian ruler Pharaoh. But Moses, intimidated by the enormity

of this challenge, comes up with the excuse: ‘my tongue catches in my teeth’]:

 

 

||Moses understood. But he was afraid and felt the task resting upon his

shoulders as heavy as Mount Horeb. He thought of his thick tongue, which moved

with difficulty and struck against his teeth. So he spoke to the thornbush,

making his tongue even more clumsy than it was: “Oh, my Lord in the fire, can

you not hear? My tongue catches in my teeth, I lisp. Sometimes I even stammer

and am altogether slow of speech’. Again the flames crackled. Moses heard the

answer: ‘Who moves men’s tongues? Who makes men, makes them hearing or deaf,

seeing or blind? Is not God the cause of everything? So go to Pharaoh. The same

who sends you will also move your tongue.||

 

 

 

 

He also reminisced that even during the very first lesson that he was scheduled

to impart to a new student of the SA, namely, Ms Neha Gupta[recently], no words

could be uttered in that very first class-so merciless was the affliction that

Tr Stationary Ra had caused to the IIIH Lord. Turning the ignition switch on in

the car, was also so difficult - so great was the pain in the fingers [iIIH

signification], as they attempted to do any task. When answering e-mails, that

came pouring in, became necessary, the fingers did not have enough strength and

functionality to even press upon the keys on the key board, so severe was the

impact of the affliction on Professor’s life. Observing all these restrictions

of speech and communications, that the Tr Stationary affliction was enforcing

upon him, the Professor took the cue, and exercised patience even in matters of

writing for the revised editions of the books. He settled down to write the

additional chapter of the revised version of a book only after a few days. So,

he said.

 

In conclusion, he mentioned another new principle, which would account fully for

the merciless nature of the present Tr St affliction:

 

 

“When the Mo is weak or placed in Malefic Hs, then the intensity of the Tr

Stationary Influences [TSIs] are more. If the Mo is strong, then, the intensity

of such TSIs is less.”[sutra #3]

 

 

To appreciate this new Sutra, we must remember Professor’s statement: “For the

kind of problems which I had, any other person, could not have even get out of

bed.” It was indeed generous on Professor’s part to have laid bare such

life-events, towards a greater appreciation of the SA Sutras, pertaining to Tr

Stationary Influences.

 

Wondering about such very persistently painful situations, which are bound to

leave the victims in a thoroughly perplexed condition; he remarked that it is in

such situations that Astrology comes forward to throw astounding light, on an

area of darkness, in which even medical sciences are often able to give only

evasive or nebulous answers.[“Ra-caused afflictions invariably manifest as

non-diagnosable diseases”]

 

[sutra #4]

 

 

This took him to Astrology as a Profession, and he had this to say:

 

 

“As a profession, when we adopt it, Astrologers have to charge, but those who

get benefit never think, how much benefit, they get. The only thing is that,

individual who becomes an Astrological Consultant, should not be driven by

greed. Whatever the fees, it is OK, some people may not pay, but the advice

should be complete and very sincere”[sutra # 5, on Ethics in Astrological

Practice].

 

 

Hearing the distressing story of the impact of the Tr St affliction on

Professor’s life; Praveen Tyagi, went on to share with all, how even in his own

case, as Tr Ra had become coincident with his Natal Ra (27 deg 48 minutes),

during this present Tr St affliction, there was so much stress in his life, but

he held that he did not suffer a great deal. Tyagiji also mentioned the recent

earth quake in Haiti, and said, how devastating in was for Haiti, with so much

loss of lives, etc.[sutra #3 would account for Tyagiji’s experiences, as well

as the Haiti earth-quake. In addition, the sub-period running for Tyagiji, was

different – that of a strong Jupiter.

 

Dwelling more on such Transit Stationary Influences of Ra and Ke, it was

emphasized by the Professor, that Kaushikji had remarked that every nine

degrees, Ra and Ke become stationary for four months. And that whenever Ra and

Ke become stationary around 1 to 2 degrees, or around 29 to 28 degrees, then the

afflictions could be caused to weak Natal Planets in these positions, and

thereby the sufferings arising from such Tr Afflictions will be more intense.

 

[sutra #6]

 

It was next pointed out by the Professor, that people wish to know when they are

scheduled to come out of a certain persistent problem, and as Transits hold the

key to this, the study of Transits becomes very important.

 

He cited the example of one individual [A Scorpio Asdt-this is Case Study # 3,

which follows: Birth Details: Dec 7th, 1966; 5:58 AM; [74E48, 34N06, IST]] who

did not have a job for 4 consecutive yrs, and then went on to get a job, after

performing remedies. However, in spite of the job, he was having lot of stress

in the job, so he was contemplating returning back to his home country. So, that

individual had sought clarification through his pertinent question: “What are

the astrological reasons for this impasse, in the SA?”

 

 

The Professor explained: it is because of the loss of mental peace in distant

lands, due to difficult Transits, that in such cases, they want to know, “How

long will it take, for the present difficulties to subside?”

 

In yet another example, the Professor mentioned how, once when Tr Ju was slowly

transiting the Ra-Ke Axis, it made the person, grievously sick. So, the

individual was admitted into a good hospital, which in spite of the best

diagnostic facilities, could not make a ‘correct’ diagnosis, so finally, they

gave antibiotics, and sent him home![Recall ‘evasive and nebulous’ answers] This

illustrates how Tr St Influences also cause health problems.

 

 

After Tea, Fore-Noon on the First Day[20-2-2010]:

 

 

Prof ’s Talk [Cont]:

 

 

 

“The Impact of Functional Malefic Planets”:

 

 

The Professor reminded us that the Lords of VIH, VIIIH, & XIIH[when they have,

MTSs] are Malefic Lords for any Asdt, in addition to Ra and Ke, which are always

Malefic Lords for all Asdts..

 

And that the MMP [Most Malefic Planet], which causes death and very difficult

obstructions, is the Lord of the VIIIH, when the VIIIH, has a MTS.

 

And, that such Malefic Hs [Houses] which rule such things as health- problems,

disputes, litigations, losses through theft; death & serious obstructions;

losses, imprisonment & expenditures; respectively, bring their various Malefic

significations through the ‘close’ influence of the FM Planets on other Planets

and Hs.[‘Close’ means, the orb of affliction is less than 5 degs, ‘Exact’ means,

the orb is within 1 degree].[sutra # 7, See also Pg 23, Predictive Techniques]

 

 

“In case of special or multiple afflictions, the otherwise " strong " planet is

considered afflicted (and weak) even when the orb of affliction is of two

degrees.

 

“The affliction is special or multiple i.e. when it comes from:

 

1) a conjunction with/ aspect from the most malefic planet,

 

2) an aspect from a functional malefic planet placed in a dusthana,

 

3) a conjunction with Rahu or Ketu (Rahu-Ketu axis)

 

4) an aspect of a functional malefic planet afflicted by other(s) functional

malefic planet,

 

5) more than one functional malefic planet at the same time.”

 

“And that in the case of Exact afflictions, they manifest in the early stages of

life, in the first sub-period of either the afflicting FM, or the afflicted

Planet.”[sutra # 8]

 

 

Lest we form an entirely negative impression of the Malefic Hs: VIH, VIIIH, &

XIIH, the Professor hastened to add that: “These three Malefic Hs, also indicate

positive things in life, conducive to our general well-being in one way or the

other. And for receiving these fruits of the Malefic Hs, they should always be

strong in the Natal Chart and the Malefic Lords should not also cause any

afflictions in the Natal Chart”.[sutra #9]

 

 

The fruits of these Malefic Hs, when strong were mentioned by the Professor:

“That the strong VIH Lord [when strong], blesses, with a sound financial

position, with victory over enemies, with no apprehension of losses through

theft, fire, and litigations.”[sutra #10]

 

 

“A strong VIIIH gives the fruits of a long-lived father, long-life, long

-lasting marriage, easy gains in life”[sutra # 11].

 

 

“If the XIIH is strong, then one has good gains in foreign lands, blessings of

comforts & luxuries, the blessings of not being subjected to unnecessary

expenses, no danger of being pursued by the Law of the Land[little chances of

imprisonment]”[sutra # 12].

 

 

To illustrate the impact of Malefic Hs, the Professor cited the classic example

of the Natal Chart of the US, in which the IVH Lord was badly-placed in the

Malefic VIH. This had caused, he said, an abnormal fall of the property prices

in that country due to mortgage problems, partly triggering the recent economic

recession [2008-2009]. He also added that the weakness of Venus, as Lord of the

IVH, had put the US in deficit financing.

 

 

 

In passing, he mentioned that a strong Asdt Lord in XIH, made the US ambitious

for wealth, a strong IIH, Lord placed in the VIIH, had given the US a commanding

prestige in foreign countries [which is signified primarily by the VIIH in the

SA]. And that a strong XH Lord, placed in VH of intellectual creations, had put

the US again, in a commanding position, with respect to the whole world, where

the holding of “Intellectual Property Rights” was concerned.

 

 

The Professor now took up a series of significant case studies, to throw light

on the Impact of the Malefic Lords, in the lives of people.

 

 

Case Study # 1:

 

 

Birth Details: [02-06-1980, 5:27AM, [77E14, 28N39], TZ=-5:30hrs] ‘Never agrees

with the views of the others’. Taurus Asdt, with MEP at 17degs 53mts.

 

 

Commenting on the Chart of this young lady[more than 29 yrs old], the Professor

explained, that in this Taurus Asdt Chart, the affliction to the H of emotional

intelligence[ruled by Me] by the Malefic VIH Lord, Ve, has made her very

stubborn, thereby making her stick to her views only.[sutra #13]. In addition,

he explained, the placement of the Malefic Ma, almost on the MEP of the IVH, and

throwing the 4th aspect on to the MEP of the VIIH of marital relationship-has

created weakness of the Marital Hs, and hence delay in marital settlement. When

the Professor was asked whether the impact of the Benefic Su on the Asdt MEP,

will not also make her egoistic and somewhat proud, which could be unfavourable

for a harmonious marriage, he answered that as the Su is the MBP [Most Benefic

Planet] for the Taurus Asdt, the affliction to its MTH, is certainly also

another unfavourable factor, causing delay in marital settlement.

 

 

 

Case Study # 2:

 

 

Birth Details:[Feb 9th, 1958, 17:00Hrs, [74E48, 34N05]

 

Cancer Asdt with MEP at: 13degs 46mts.

 

 

Professor pointed out that, though Ju rules the Malefic VIH, and afflicts the

Asdt Lord Mo, almost exactly; the good strength of Ju and the Sun had

nonetheless blessed her with a son. However, the XH Lord, Ma is weakly-placed in

the VIH, and is further seen to suffer an exact affliction from the Malefic Ke.

Because of the affliction, though she tries to work professionally, no success

is seen in her work. Under these trying circumstances, she has posed two Qs to

the Professor. Q1: In what manner should she set up her work? Q2: Whether her

fate, will make her successful in any kind of partnership?

 

The Professor ruled out partnership, as the affliction from the Malefic VIH Lord

to the Asdt Lord, the Mo, would make the person argumentative and lacking in

flexibility and adjustment. He also recommended Remedial Measures, for warding

off Natal and Tr afflictions from all the FMs: Ra, Ke, Ju and even Sa. The

Professor has [if I remember correctly] given her the mandate to enter business,

as her strong IIIH, strong Ve and strong Me were patently, good assets, for such

business ventures.

 

 

 

Roop Saranji asked the Prof whether the affliction to the Mo-will not spoil

health? To this he replied that, Ju, being strong as the VIH Lord, equally

contributes to the health [like the Asdt Lord], so the affliction to the Mo from

the VIH Lord is not so damaging. Turning from health to marriage, the

Professor also remarked that: “As marriages are made or destroyed, depending

upon the strengths of the IIH & IVH; or afflictions to these Hs”[sutra #14] ,

this Chart shows a favourability for sustaining Marriage.

 

 

 

Case Study # 3:

 

 

Birth Details: Feb 9th, 1934; 5:00AM; [75E30, 32N02]] ‘Longevity Question’]

 

In this particular case study, it was pointed out that the individual had almost

lost all inheritance and earnings [see the Lord of inheritance badly placed &

deb at that, in the Malefic XIIH of losses, and the further exact affliction to:

the Su, as the Lord of the IXH of fortune, and also to a deeply combust Sa, as

the Lord of the IIIH of success, & drive.

 

 

Pointing to the almost exact conjunction of the two Benefic Professional Lords:

Me and Ma, in the IIIH of understanding and communication, he said, this

conjunction was good, despite the weakness of the planetary energies and had

lead to his qualifying himself as a Chartered Accountant.

 

 

The individual had a massive heart attack in 1970[when he was only 36 yrs old],

when he was jogging on Marine Drive in Mumbai, and after an unavoidable loss of

time of about one hour, he was moved to a hospital. In reply to a question from

(probably) Rakesh Sharmaji, Rajeshji pointed out that the exact affliction of

the Nodes to the Su had caused the problem.

 

 

Going back to his ‘difficulties in life’, the Professor, emphasizing that in the

late evening of his life, instead of his children coming to live with him, it

was he who is living with his children. The difficulties were caused mainly by

the close Rahu-Ketu affliction and “the VIIIH Lord being placed in XIIH, which

brings about, loss of most of the things, gained”.

 

[sutra #15]

 

 

It was also pointed out that as, as many as, 5 FB Planets were placed in the

Sun-like Hs, this had indeed given the initial rise in life, but Ra’s Conj with

the Su, had also resulted in frequent enquiries, and that this torment from the

Government departments went on for many years without his being guilty.

 

“Malefic happenings in life came to pass, the Professor emphasized, whenever the

FB Planets Tr over Natal FMs”[sutra #16]

 

 

In passing he said always, the comprehensive picture of the TTT, must be

examined: “This is called the Triple Transit Triggering (TTT) influence, as it

is true for the three possible combinations of the Transit Influence – i.e.,

Transit over Natal, Transit over Transit, and Natal over Transit.”[sutra # 17,

See Pg 13, Predictive Techniques]

 

 

Drawing attention to the Nodal affliction to the Su, in this individual’s Chart,

he said, “The essence of Ra’s impact on the Su, is invariably action by the

State on the individual”[sutra #18]..

 

 

Another Sutra was also given, of more general utility [sutra #19]: “Ra gives

‘severe threatening situations’. One may not lose everything gained, as this

depends on the placement of the Su, and the severity of its multiple weaknesses,

etc. However, if Su is badly-placed in Malefic Hs, then the impact of Ra’s

affliction can be very bad. The multiple weaknesses, have to be always examined.

Gravity of Ra’s affliction is always in proportion to the multiplicity &

severity of the weaknesses of the afflicted Planet” [sutra # 20].

 

 

 

Case Study # 4:

 

 

‘A case of the influence of the VIIIH Lord’.

 

Birth Details:[sept 9th , 1979, [0W10, 51N30], 2:20AM,

 

Cancer Asdt, MEP at 8 degs, 19mts, Time Zone=BST(-1:00Hrs)].

 

 

In this Chart, the MMP Sa is seen to be in conjunction with the Su, which is the

PD [Prime Determinant] of the life-partner, and the Prof put it succinctly: “For

Cancer Asdt people, the Su, basically rules marriage”[sutra #21] .He also

pointed out that: “When the affliction caused by the VIIIH Lord[MMP] is severe,

then securing relief through the Remedial Measures also becomes difficult”[sutra

#22].

 

 

Though his problems are now gone, the Professor remarked that when the crisis

had struck, his foremost question was: “Why am I having difficulty in finding a

partner?” Prof added that: “In such circumstances, the individual, who has come

seeking answers for his questions, must be educated about the affliction to the

Su, the general significations[GSs] of the Su, as well as about the

significations[ss] of the H, ruled by the Su; as this knowledge, will give him

peace of mind, for it will be seen to tally with his real-life experiences,

which show to him, that all these GSs of the Su, & the Ss of the House ruled by

the Su, had in fact, not meet with fruition so far”.

 

[sutra #23]

 

 

Case Study # 5:

 

 

The Professor gave the good news that this case study [which was also discussed

at the last SA Conf] pertained to an individual, who had in fact married just

yesterday! Here too Su[which was already seen to be the PD of marriage], was

under an exact Ra-Ke affliction, and not affliction from the other Malefic

Lords.

Case Study # 6:

 

 

Birth Details: [16-09-1967, 7:30hrs, [102E13, 2N23], TZ=-7:30Hrs, JVT] Virgo

Asdt Chart with the MEP at 13degs,31mts.

 

This was a case study, the Professor said, which pertained to the professional

sphere. The individual, could not find a job at all. All efforts had failed.

 

For Virgo Asdts, the PD of profession is Ve, and as Ve was badly placed in the

Malefic XIIH of losses, & further also very grievously afflicted by the highly

Malefic Ra from the Most Malefic VIIIH, & as Sa, another Malefic Lord had also

afflicted the Asdt Lord Me exactly, & even the Asdt H, closely[ & Sa even

afflicted closely the VIIH, IXH, the IVH in addition], for this individual,

professional settlement had become a near impossibility. In this condition, he

had approached Prof Choudhry for guidance.

 

 

It was pointed out that there was some small measure of Grace in his life,

amidst all these difficulties, as the mere placement of the XIH Lord of income

and gains, the Mo, in the Benefic VH, had taken care of his survival necessities

[sa was strong as the VIH Lord].

 

 

In the context of the Malefic Sa afflicting the VIIH ‘closely’, the Professor,

asked us to take note of the important sutra: “In the case of a Non-MTH being

afflicted ‘closely’ by a Malefic Lord, even such a ‘close’ affliction must still

be taken seriously only”[sutra #24]

 

 

Case Study # 7:

 

 

Birth Details: [6-9-1969, 3:20AM, [80E21, 26N28], TZ=-5:30hrs], ‘Case of a

Professional Setback’. Cancer Asdt, with MEP at 16 degs 02mts.

 

 

Afflictions in the Chart, caused by the Malefic Lords, Ju and Sa:

 

XH afflicted by MMP. The MMP, Sa, also afflicts the IVH, the VIIH, the XIIH, and

the Asdt Lord, the Mo, which is badly-placed in the XIIH.

 

VIH lord afflicting the IIIH Lord, the IIIH, the IXH, the VIIH, and the XIH.

 

Dasa of VIIIH Lord was running, all planets [except the strong Su] are weak.

 

The Professor narrated that this lady had numerous problems, the husband was

bed-ridden for many yrs, so she had to earn a living by running a grocery store.

The affliction to the XH, the IIIH, the XIH of income brought her to the

Professor-for a professional consultation. He said, the afflictions caused by

the MMP, Sa and by the FM, Ju to four Hs each, took its toll. Though the Su, as

the PD of marital life was strong, the severe afflictions to so many Hs, also

had their say. The lesson drawn from this Chart was the following: “If there are

close/exact afflictions in a Chart, then even though a strong Planet may be

there, sufferings will still be part of life”[sutra #25].

 

 

Case Study # 8:

 

 

Birth Details: [12-10-1957, 20:14hrs, [76E08, 29N00]] Taurus Asdt Chart with

the MEP at 8 degs 52 mts.

 

 

This Chart, the Professor said, illustrates the sufferings arising from the

afflictions caused by the Malefic Ju[MMP, Lord of the VIIIH], which afflicts Ma,

the XIIH Lord, and the afflictions caused by the Malefic VIH Lord Ve, which

afflicts the Asdt as well as the Mo.

 

 

During sub-period of Ve in the Dasa of Ju, the MMP[i.e., between Sept ‘01 & May

‘04], the individual was involved in a massive accident, went into coma[as the

VIIIH of ‘longevity of life’ is closely afflicted by the loss & injury giving

FM, Ma] and was confined to a hospital for many months. The affliction was so

grievous [orb of affliction is less than 2 degs] that he remained in coma for as

long as 5 yrs, before finally succumbing to death. The Professor’s point was

that: “Whenever there are afflictions from the VIIIH Lord [MMP], very dangerous

life-threatening situations can arise, like coma, death, or such other

sufferings, as can even be worse than death itself.”[sutra # 26].

 

 

 

Case Study # 9:

 

 

Birth Details:[02-08-1942, 0:15hrs, [88E18, 27N06]]Taurus Asdt Chart with the

MEP at 9degs 26mts.

 

 

In this Chart, the affliction [exact] due to the conjunction of the VIH Lord and

the VIIIH Lord was firstly pointed out. The IVH is also seen to be afflicted.

 

 

Professor mentioned that in the life of this individual, there was prolonged

health problems[VIH Lord afflicted by the MMP] and also prolonged disputes for

securing inheritance[because of the affliction to the Lord of inheritance,

Ju].The affliction to the IVH also shows that peace of mind is disturbed.

Asdt Chart with the MEP at 27degs 52mts.

 

 

Professor pointed out that in this individual’s life, there have been persistent

problems on the job front, because of the many close/exact afflictions, to the

professional Hs.VIH Lord, Ve, he said, creates affliction to the XH of the

profession, Ma, another FM, afflicts exactly the IIH [of professional status],

VH [of creative intelligence], VIIIH [of easy gains], even the Su, the

significators of the profession, is afflicted exactly 100% by Ra and Ke. And

that for the last decade, there have been three or four terminations, many

disputes-because of the afflictions caused by the Malefic VIH Lord Ve, and

Malefic XIIH Lord, Ma.

 

 

 

Case Study # 11:[supplied by Rakesh Sharmaji]:

 

 

Birth Details: [Dec 27th , 1980, 20:40 hrs, [77E01, 28N27]TZ=-5:30hrs].Cancer

Asdt Chart with MEP at 23degs 29mts.

 

 

Rakeshji made the statement that the individual sought to have children, but was

not successful. The progeny matters for Cancer ascendant persons are ruled by

the Sun and significator, Jupiter. Looking at the Chart, one found, Su, the PD

of children, for a Cancer Asdt Chart, was badly placed in the Malefic VIH whose

Lord is afflicted; Ju, the general significator[GS] of male progeny, exactly

afflicted by the Most Malefic Planet, Sa. Thus all significators of progeny

seemed to be afflicted. The Mo, another supplementary Determinant was also weak

due to the weakness of dispositor, Sun.

 

 

Commenting on the vagueness of the reply of this individual, that ‘everything is

OK’, the Professor said, quite often, people, just do not know how bad their

situation is, until some huge calamity strikes, and knocks them down.

 

 

Somewhere in the middle, the Professor introduced to us, Mr Brian Conrad’s very

useful new Jyotish Tools’ Software which can be used on mobile phones with

Android Operating System. This software has facilitated the lives of astrologers

while travelling. One can also in an instant take a look at any Chart in their

library, and how, not having their LapTop with them, will now no more come in

the way of offering astrological guidance, anywhere in the world, at anytime.

Sri Rajeshji had a Samsung Galaxy cell-phone model i7500 with the Jyotish Tools

installed, and it was unbelievable!

 

 

Referring to the forthcoming presentations of Sri Roop Saranji, Dr Jonathan

Miller, Dr S Bhagavadpada, and other delegates, who would also bring up many

Charts for discussions, the Professor brought to a close, this highly

encouraging, and instructive talk, and thus passed on the baton to other

speakers who were already in the line.

[Guest guest]

Dear Professor,

 

My love and best wishes for feeling better.

 

In addition to the Stationary influence of Rahu , Mercury's (Communication Etc)

transit in the 8th house who is the dispositor of transit Saturn - also had an

impact.

 

Love and Respect

would be to the advantage of all delegates, if at each of these Conferences, he

chose to speak to us, on a theme, which he considered important, for our general

understanding of the SA. Notwithstanding the health reasons, which did come in

the way [you will hear of this shortly]; acquiescing to this request, the

Professor, in his lucid talk, has given us all the opportunity to absorb a

number of lessons from many illustrative examples of Charts, where, the

sufferings inflicted by the Functional Malefic Planets was in full relief.

>

> As he had begun the Inaugural Address [with the traditional invocation of the

auspicious `Ganeshaya Namaha'], for this talk too, the Professor's first words

were that same obeisance to God. Taking the example of his own personal life

first, he now proceeded to illustrate the sufferings inflicted by the Malefic

Ra, in his Natal Chart, during a persistent Tr Stationary impact on his natal

Su, which was the Lord of the IIIH, in his Gemini Asdt Chart.

>

>

> said, that: as soon as the Tr Stationary Influence of Ra,

had taken hold of his Natal Sun at 26 degs in his Chart, " It tried to block off

all channels of communication " [Tr Ra was in Sagittarius, and the Su was the Lord

of the IIIH, well-placed in the IIIH itself, and he was also running the Ra

sub-period].When he took some medicines to alleviate a cold, he found that he

was completely unable to even speak, no words were coming out of his mouth, even

when he made an attempt to articulate. In the restaurant, when I enquired

further into this, as to why the IIIH should govern `vak' or speech, as this was

the special domain of the IIH, the Professor forthwith declared that, both the

IIH, as well as the IIIH, governed the spoken expression, as the IIIH covered

all channels of communication.[sutra #1]

>

>

>

> He was also saying earlier, again in the restaurant, during a conversation Dr

J Miller and I had with the Professor, that, all in all, the affliction was

communicating a message to him that he will now have to remain silent, at least

for the next few days! The silence enforced by the Tr affliction lasted 3 days,

after which, he was able to speak well again, but now, there were other new

areas, where, there was fresh trouble, blocking communication again in one way

or the other.

>

>

> A painful sensation developed in one of the teeth, so he had to go and see a

dentist, which was the beginning of a new cycle of trouble [sun has the `teeth'

and `organ of voice' as one of the general significations-See Pg 42, " Self

Learning Course " ].The dentist suggested a root-canal surgery, and though the

Professor knew fully well, that this was hardly the time to go in for such a

dental-surgery, yet, he was saying more or less, that even this basic knowledge

and awareness were not allowed to have a say, so he, `unwittingly subjected

himself' to the root canal surgery[or, to be more precise, it was Rahu, who

`pushed him into the root canal surgery', notwithstanding his superior knowledge

and awareness], and rather than this being a solution for his problem, it became

the cause for fresh trouble-the problematic tooth now broke-off, and had to be

ultimately extracted. This whole process lasted a month, during which time, the

Tr affliction from Ra to his natal Su was in full swing.

>

> In this way, threw much light on the various repercussions

of a Tr Stationary long-lasting affliction, and went on to say, that: " Sometimes,

during Transit Stationary long-drawn out afflictions, even Remedies will not

give the adequate protection, which they are well known to give, under normal

afflictions " [sutra # 2] .

>

> As though this misery was not enough, he now found to his consternation that

his tongue was being bruised, because it was getting bitten by his teeth. This

strange difficulty also persisted at night, when the Professor was not

speaking-yet, the tongue in movement was hurt by his teeth.*

>

> *Lest readers wonder how such an affliction could come to trouble, even so

divinely inspired an astrologer, as ; I am impelled to recall

from no less hallowed a source than the Old Testament; a kindred admission,

which the illustrious Jewish Prophet Moses, makes to God, in a moment of

profound mystical communion. [God commissions Moses to lead his people out of

slavery, from the Egyptian ruler Pharaoh. But Moses, intimidated by the enormity

of this challenge, comes up with the excuse: `my tongue catches in my teeth']:

>

>

> ||Moses understood. But he was afraid and felt the task resting upon his

shoulders as heavy as Mount Horeb. He thought of his thick tongue, which moved

with difficulty and struck against his teeth. So he spoke to the thornbush,

making his tongue even more clumsy than it was: " Oh, my Lord in the fire, can

you not hear? My tongue catches in my teeth, I lisp. Sometimes I even stammer

and am altogether slow of speech'. Again the flames crackled. Moses heard the

answer: `Who moves men's tongues? Who makes men, makes them hearing or deaf,

seeing or blind? Is not God the cause of everything? So go to Pharaoh. The same

who sends you will also move your tongue.||

>

>

>

>

> He also reminisced that even during the very first lesson that he was

scheduled to impart to a new student of the SA, namely, Ms Neha

Gupta[recently], no words could be uttered in that very first class-so merciless

was the affliction that Tr Stationary Ra had caused to the IIIH Lord. Turning

the ignition switch on in the car, was also so difficult - so great was the pain

in the fingers [iIIH signification], as they attempted to do any task. When

answering e-mails, that came pouring in, became necessary, the fingers did not

have enough strength and functionality to even press upon the keys on the key

board, so severe was the impact of the affliction on Professor's life. Observing

all these restrictions of speech and communications, that the Tr Stationary

affliction was enforcing upon him, the Professor took the cue, and exercised

patience even in matters of writing for the revised editions of the books. He

settled down to write the additional chapter of the revised version of a book

only after a few days. So, he said.

>

> In conclusion, he mentioned another new principle, which would account fully

for the merciless nature of the present Tr St affliction:

>

>

> " When the Mo is weak or placed in Malefic Hs, then the intensity of the Tr

Stationary Influences [TSIs] are more. If the Mo is strong, then, the intensity

of such TSIs is less. " [sutra #3]

>

>

> To appreciate this new Sutra, we must remember Professor's statement: " For the

kind of problems which I had, any other person, could not have even get out of

bed. " It was indeed generous on Professor's part to have laid bare such

life-events, towards a greater appreciation of the SA Sutras, pertaining to Tr

Stationary Influences.

>

> Wondering about such very persistently painful situations, which are bound to

leave the victims in a thoroughly perplexed condition; he remarked that it is in

such situations that Astrology comes forward to throw astounding light, on an

area of darkness, in which even medical sciences are often able to give only

evasive or nebulous answers.[ " Ra-caused afflictions invariably manifest as

non-diagnosable diseases " ]

>

> [sutra #4]

>

>

> This took him to Astrology as a Profession, and he had this to say:

>

>

> " As a profession, when we adopt it, Astrologers have to charge, but those who

get benefit never think, how much benefit, they get. The only thing is that,

individual who becomes an Astrological Consultant, should not be driven by

greed. Whatever the fees, it is OK, some people may not pay, but the advice

should be complete and very sincere " [sutra # 5, on Ethics in Astrological

Practice].

>

>

> Hearing the distressing story of the impact of the Tr St affliction on

Professor's life; Praveen Tyagi, went on to share with all, how even in his own

case, as Tr Ra had become coincident with his Natal Ra (27 deg 48 minutes),

during this present Tr St affliction, there was so much stress in his life, but

he held that he did not suffer a great deal. Tyagiji also mentioned the recent

earth quake in Haiti, and said, how devastating in was for Haiti, with so much

loss of lives, etc.[sutra #3 would account for Tyagiji's experiences, as well

as the Haiti earth-quake. In addition, the sub-period running for Tyagiji, was

different – that of a strong Jupiter.

>

> Dwelling more on such Transit Stationary Influences of Ra and Ke, it was

emphasized by the Professor, that Kaushikji had remarked that every nine

degrees, Ra and Ke become stationary for four months. And that whenever Ra and

Ke become stationary around 1 to 2 degrees, or around 29 to 28 degrees, then the

afflictions could be caused to weak Natal Planets in these positions, and

thereby the sufferings arising from such Tr Afflictions will be more intense.

>

> [sutra #6]

>

> It was next pointed out by the Professor, that people wish to know when they

are scheduled to come out of a certain persistent problem, and as Transits hold

the key to this, the study of Transits becomes very important.

>

> He cited the example of one individual [A Scorpio Asdt-this is Case Study # 3,

which follows: Birth Details: Dec 7th, 1966; 5:58 AM; [74E48, 34N06, IST]] who

did not have a job for 4 consecutive yrs, and then went on to get a job, after

performing remedies. However, in spite of the job, he was having lot of stress

in the job, so he was contemplating returning back to his home country. So, that

individual had sought clarification through his pertinent question: " What are

the astrological reasons for this impasse, in the SA? "

>

>

> The Professor explained: it is because of the loss of mental peace in distant

lands, due to difficult Transits, that in such cases, they want to know, " How

long will it take, for the present difficulties to subside? "

>

> In yet another example, the Professor mentioned how, once when Tr Ju was

slowly transiting the Ra-Ke Axis, it made the person, grievously sick. So, the

individual was admitted into a good hospital, which in spite of the best

diagnostic facilities, could not make a `correct' diagnosis, so finally, they

gave antibiotics, and sent him home![Recall `evasive and nebulous' answers] This

illustrates how Tr St Influences also cause health problems.

always Malefic Lords for all Asdts..

disputes, litigations, losses through theft; death & serious obstructions;

> Lest we form an entirely negative impression of the Malefic Hs: VIH, VIIIH, &

XIIH, the Professor hastened to add that: " These three Malefic Hs, also indicate

positive things in life, conducive to our general well-being in one way or the

other. And for receiving these fruits of the Malefic Hs, they should always be

strong in the Natal Chart and the Malefic Lords should not also cause any

afflictions in the Natal Chart " .[sutra #9]

> The fruits of these Malefic Hs, when strong were mentioned by the Professor:

" That the strong VIH Lord [when strong], blesses, with a sound financial

position, with victory over enemies, with no apprehension of losses through

theft, fire, and litigations. " [sutra #10]

comforts & luxuries, the blessings of not being subjected to unnecessary

expenses, no danger of being pursued by the Law of the Land[little chances of

imprisonment] " [sutra # 12].

>

>

> To illustrate the impact of Malefic Hs, the Professor cited the classic

example of the Natal Chart of the US, in which the IVH Lord was badly-placed in

the Malefic VIH. This had caused, he said, an abnormal fall of the property

prices in that country due to mortgage problems, partly triggering the recent

economic recession [2008-2009]. He also added that the weakness of Venus, as

Lord of the IVH, had put the US in deficit financing.

>

> In passing, he mentioned that a strong Asdt Lord in XIH, made the US ambitious

for wealth, a strong IIH, Lord placed in the VIIH, had given the US a commanding

prestige in foreign countries [which is signified primarily by the VIIH in the

SA]. And that a strong XH Lord, placed in VH of intellectual creations, had put

the US again, in a commanding position, with respect to the whole world, where

the holding of " Intellectual Property Rights " was concerned.

agrees with the views of the others'. Taurus Asdt, with MEP at 17degs 53mts.

>

>

> Commenting on the Chart of this young lady[more than 29 yrs old], the

Professor explained, that in this Taurus Asdt Chart, the affliction to the H of

emotional intelligence[ruled by Me] by the Malefic VIH Lord, Ve, has made her

very stubborn, thereby making her stick to her views only.[sutra #13]. In

addition, he explained, the placement of the Malefic Ma, almost on the MEP of

the IVH, and throwing the 4th aspect on to the MEP of the VIIH of marital

relationship-has created weakness of the Marital Hs, and hence delay in marital

settlement. When the Professor was asked whether the impact of the Benefic Su on

the Asdt MEP, will not also make her egoistic and somewhat proud, which could be

unfavourable for a harmonious marriage, he answered that as the Su is the MBP

[Most Benefic Planet] for the Taurus Asdt, the affliction to its MTH, is

certainly also another unfavourable factor, causing delay in marital settlement.

Asdt Lord Mo, almost exactly; the good strength of Ju and the Sun had

nonetheless blessed her with a son. However, the XH Lord, Ma is weakly-placed in

the VIH, and is further seen to suffer an exact affliction from the Malefic Ke.

Because of the affliction, though she tries to work professionally, no success

is seen in her work. Under these trying circumstances, she has posed two Qs to

the Professor. Q1: In what manner should she set up her work? Q2: Whether her

fate, will make her successful in any kind of partnership?

>

> The Professor ruled out partnership, as the affliction from the Malefic VIH

Lord to the Asdt Lord, the Mo, would make the person argumentative and lacking

in flexibility and adjustment. He also recommended Remedial Measures, for

warding off Natal and Tr afflictions from all the FMs: Ra, Ke, Ju and even Sa.

The Professor has [if I remember correctly] given her the mandate to enter

business, as her strong IIIH, strong Ve and strong Me were patently, good

assets, for such business ventures.

>

>

>

> Roop Saranji asked the Prof whether the affliction to the Mo-will not spoil

health? To this he replied that, Ju, being strong as the VIH Lord, equally

contributes to the health [like the Asdt Lord], so the affliction to the Mo from

the VIH Lord is not so damaging. Turning from health to marriage, the

Professor also remarked that: " As marriages are made or destroyed, depending

upon the strengths of the IIH & IVH; or afflictions to these Hs " [sutra #14] ,

this Chart shows a favourability for sustaining Marriage.

almost lost all inheritance and earnings [see the Lord of inheritance badly

placed & deb at that, in the Malefic XIIH of losses, and the further exact

affliction to: the Su, as the Lord of the IXH of fortune, and also to a deeply

combust Sa, as the Lord of the IIIH of success, & drive.

Lords: Me and Ma, in the IIIH of understanding and communication, he said, this

conjunction was good, despite the weakness of the planetary energies and had

lead to his qualifying himself as a Chartered Accountant.

> The individual had a massive heart attack in 1970[when he was only 36 yrs

old], when he was jogging on Marine Drive in Mumbai, and after an unavoidable

loss of time of about one hour, he was moved to a hospital. In reply to a

question from (probably) Rakesh Sharmaji, Rajeshji pointed out that the exact

affliction of the Nodes to the Su had caused the problem.

>

>

> Going back to his `difficulties in life', the Professor, emphasizing that in

the late evening of his life, instead of his children coming to live with him,

it was he who is living with his children. The difficulties were caused mainly

by the close Rahu-Ketu affliction and " the VIIIH Lord being placed in XIIH,

which brings about, loss of most of the things, gained " .

> [sutra #15]

>

>

> It was also pointed out that as, as many as, 5 FB Planets were placed in the

Sun-like Hs, this had indeed given the initial rise in life, but Ra's Conj with

the Su, had also resulted in frequent enquiries, and that this torment from the

Government departments went on for many years without his being guilty.

the FB Planets Tr over Natal FMs " [sutra #16]

examined: " This is called the Triple Transit Triggering (TTT) influence, as it

is true for the three possible combinations of the Transit Influence – i.e.,

Transit over Natal, Transit over Transit, and Natal over Transit. " [sutra # 17,

See Pg 13, Predictive Techniques]

Chart, he said, " The essence of Ra's impact on the Su, is invariably action by

the State on the individual " [sutra #18]..

>

> Another Sutra was also given, of more general utility [sutra #19]: " Ra gives

`severe threatening situations'. One may not lose everything gained, as this

depends on the placement of the Su, and the severity of its multiple weaknesses,

etc. However, if Su is badly-placed in Malefic Hs, then the impact of Ra's

affliction can be very bad. The multiple weaknesses, have to be always examined.

Gravity of Ra's affliction is always in proportion to the multiplicity &

severity of the weaknesses of the afflicted Planet " [sutra # 20].

pointed out that: " When the affliction caused by the VIIIH Lord[MMP] is severe,

then securing relief through the Remedial Measures also becomes difficult " [sutra

> Though his problems are now gone, the Professor remarked that when the crisis

had struck, his foremost question was: " Why am I having difficulty in finding a

partner? " Prof added that: " In such circumstances, the individual, who has come

seeking answers for his questions, must be educated about the affliction to the

Su, the general significations[GSs] of the Su, as well as about the

significations[ss] of the H, ruled by the Su; as this knowledge, will give him

peace of mind, for it will be seen to tally with his real-life experiences,

afflicted the Asdt Lord Me exactly, & even the Asdt H, closely[ & Sa even

The affliction to the XH, the IIIH, the XIH of income brought her to the

Professor-for a professional consultation. He said, the afflictions caused by

the MMP, Sa and by the FM, Ju to four Hs each, took its toll. Though the Su, as

the PD of marital life was strong, the severe afflictions to so many Hs, also

had their say. The lesson drawn from this Chart was the following: " If there are

there, sufferings will still be part of life " [sutra #25].

was so grievous [orb of affliction is less than 2 degs] that he remained in coma

for as long as 5 yrs, before finally succumbing to death. The Professor's point

dangerous life-threatening situations can arise, like coma, death, or such other

sufferings, as can even be worse than death itself. " [sutra # 26].

Thanks for the mention of my Android program.

contacted me about getting a new phone right before the conference and I

advised him on getting an Android phone over Windows Mobile because I

was about to release this Jyotish Tools for Android phones. I feel that

Android will dominate the smart phone market very soon because being

open source costs manufacturers and telecoms nothing to license. I have

two free programs, GPS Prasna and Quick Jyotish that have been available

for some time both on the Android Market and my own website. I realize

that Indian telecoms may not yet have the Android Market available (due

to Google not implementing it there) so I am planning next week to have

Jyotish Tools available on another market that will be accessible from

India. I realize that some are only beginning to consider moving to a

smart phone and have made a video demo which you can view on the

JyotishTools site:

http://jyotishtools.com/android.php

 

I also am in the process of implementing a redirect for mobile users to

a mobile friendly version of my site.

Hello dear Amit,

 

With patience and remedies I am OK. Problem is when one leaves patience. Some

amount of stress is always there. I mentioned it to show the various dimensions

of prolonged transit influence of Rahu on the third lord.

Dear Professor,

 

My love and best wishes for feeling better.

 

In addition to the Stationary influence of Rahu , Mercury's (Communication

Etc) transit in the 8th house who is the dispositor of transit Saturn - also had

an impact.

it would be to the advantage of all delegates, if at each of these Conferences,

he chose to speak to us, on a theme, which he considered important, for our

general understanding of the SA. Notwithstanding the health reasons, which did

come in the way [you will hear of this shortly]; acquiescing to this request,

the Professor, in his lucid talk, has given us all the opportunity to absorb a

number of lessons from many illustrative examples of Charts, where, the

sufferings inflicted by the Functional Malefic Planets was in full relief.

> As he had begun the Inaugural Address [with the traditional invocation of

the auspicious `Ganeshaya Namaha'], for this talk too, the Professor's first

words were that same obeisance to God. Taking the example of his own personal

life first, he now proceeded to illustrate the sufferings inflicted by the

Malefic Ra, in his Natal Chart, during a persistent Tr Stationary impact on his

natal Su, which was the Lord of the IIIH, in his Gemini Asdt Chart.

>

>

> said, that: as soon as the Tr Stationary Influence of Ra,

had taken hold of his Natal Sun at 26 degs in his Chart, " It tried to block off

all channels of communication " [Tr Ra was in Sagittarius, and the Su was the Lord

of the IIIH, well-placed in the IIIH itself, and he was also running the Ra

sub-period].When he took some medicines to alleviate a cold, he found that he

was completely unable to even speak, no words were coming out of his mouth, even

when he made an attempt to articulate. In the restaurant, when I enquired

further into this, as to why the IIIH should govern `vak' or speech, as this was

the special domain of the IIH, the Professor forthwith declared that, both the

IIH, as well as the IIIH, governed the spoken expression, as the IIIH covered

all channels of communication.[sutra #1]

>

>

>

> He was also saying earlier, again in the restaurant, during a conversation

Dr J Miller and I had with the Professor, that, all in all, the affliction was

communicating a message to him that he will now have to remain silent, at least

for the next few days! The silence enforced by the Tr affliction lasted 3 days,

after which, he was able to speak well again, but now, there were other new

areas, where, there was fresh trouble, blocking communication again in one way

or the other.

>

>

> A painful sensation developed in one of the teeth, so he had to go and see a

dentist, which was the beginning of a new cycle of trouble [sun has the `teeth'

and `organ of voice' as one of the general significations-See Pg 42, " Self

Learning Course " ].The dentist suggested a root-canal surgery, and though the

Professor knew fully well, that this was hardly the time to go in for such a

dental-surgery, yet, he was saying more or less, that even this basic knowledge

and awareness were not allowed to have a say, so he, `unwittingly subjected

himself' to the root canal surgery[or, to be more precise, it was Rahu, who

`pushed him into the root canal surgery', notwithstanding his superior knowledge

and awareness], and rather than this being a solution for his problem, it became

the cause for fresh trouble-the problematic tooth now broke-off, and had to be

ultimately extracted. This whole process lasted a month, during which time, the

Tr affliction from Ra to his natal Su was in full swing.

>

> In this way, threw much light on the various

repercussions of a Tr Stationary long-lasting affliction, and went on to say,

that: " Sometimes, during Transit Stationary long-drawn out afflictions, even

Remedies will not give the adequate protection, which they are well known to

give, under normal afflictions " [sutra # 2] .

>

> As though this misery was not enough, he now found to his consternation that

his tongue was being bruised, because it was getting bitten by his teeth. This

strange difficulty also persisted at night, when the Professor was not

speaking-yet, the tongue in movement was hurt by his teeth.*

>

> *Lest readers wonder how such an affliction could come to trouble, even so

divinely inspired an astrologer, as ; I am impelled to recall

from no less hallowed a source than the Old Testament; a kindred admission,

which the illustrious Jewish Prophet Moses, makes to God, in a moment of

profound mystical communion. [God commissions Moses to lead his people out of

slavery, from the Egyptian ruler Pharaoh. But Moses, intimidated by the enormity

of this challenge, comes up with the excuse: `my tongue catches in my teeth']:

>

>

> ||Moses understood. But he was afraid and felt the task resting upon his

shoulders as heavy as Mount Horeb. He thought of his thick tongue, which moved

with difficulty and struck against his teeth. So he spoke to the thornbush,

making his tongue even more clumsy than it was: " Oh, my Lord in the fire, can

you not hear? My tongue catches in my teeth, I lisp. Sometimes I even stammer

and am altogether slow of speech'. Again the flames crackled. Moses heard the

answer: `Who moves men's tongues? Who makes men, makes them hearing or deaf,

seeing or blind? Is not God the cause of everything? So go to Pharaoh. The same

who sends you will also move your tongue.||

>

>

>

>

> He also reminisced that even during the very first lesson that he was

scheduled to impart to a new student of the SA, namely, Ms Neha Gupta[recently],

no words could be uttered in that very first class-so merciless was the

affliction that Tr Stationary Ra had caused to the IIIH Lord. Turning the

ignition switch on in the car, was also so difficult - so great was the pain in

the fingers [iIIH signification], as they attempted to do any task. When

answering e-mails, that came pouring in, became necessary, the fingers did not

have enough strength and functionality to even press upon the keys on the key

board, so severe was the impact of the affliction on Professor's life. Observing

all these restrictions of speech and communications, that the Tr Stationary

affliction was enforcing upon him, the Professor took the cue, and exercised

patience even in matters of writing for the revised editions of the books. He

settled down to write the additional chapter of the revised version of a book

only after a few days. So, he said.

>

> In conclusion, he mentioned another new principle, which would account fully

for the merciless nature of the present Tr St affliction:

>

>

> " When the Mo is weak or placed in Malefic Hs, then the intensity of the Tr

Stationary Influences [TSIs] are more. If the Mo is strong, then, the intensity

of such TSIs is less. " [sutra #3]

>

>

> To appreciate this new Sutra, we must remember Professor's statement: " For

the kind of problems which I had, any other person, could not have even get out

of bed. " It was indeed generous on Professor's part to have laid bare such

life-events, towards a greater appreciation of the SA Sutras, pertaining to Tr

Stationary Influences.

>

> Wondering about such very persistently painful situations, which are bound

to leave the victims in a thoroughly perplexed condition; he remarked that it is

in such situations that Astrology comes forward to throw astounding light, on an

area of darkness, in which even medical sciences are often able to give only

evasive or nebulous answers.[ " Ra-caused afflictions invariably manifest as

non-diagnosable diseases " ]

>

> [sutra #4]

>

>

> This took him to Astrology as a Profession, and he had this to say:

>

>

> " As a profession, when we adopt it, Astrologers have to charge, but those

who get benefit never think, how much benefit, they get. The only thing is that,

individual who becomes an Astrological Consultant, should not be driven by

greed. Whatever the fees, it is OK, some people may not pay, but the advice

should be complete and very sincere " [sutra # 5, on Ethics in Astrological

Practice].

>

>

> Hearing the distressing story of the impact of the Tr St affliction on

Professor's life; Praveen Tyagi, went on to share with all, how even in his own

case, as Tr Ra had become coincident with his Natal Ra (27 deg 48 minutes),

during this present Tr St affliction, there was so much stress in his life, but

he held that he did not suffer a great deal. Tyagiji also mentioned the recent

earth quake in Haiti, and said, how devastating in was for Haiti, with so much

loss of lives, etc.[sutra #3 would account for Tyagiji's experiences, as well as

the Haiti earth-quake. In addition, the sub-period running for Tyagiji, was

different – that of a strong Jupiter.

>

> Dwelling more on such Transit Stationary Influences of Ra and Ke, it was

emphasized by the Professor, that Kaushikji had remarked that every nine

degrees, Ra and Ke become stationary for four months. And that whenever Ra and

Ke become stationary around 1 to 2 degrees, or around 29 to 28 degrees, then the

afflictions could be caused to weak Natal Planets in these positions, and

thereby the sufferings arising from such Tr Afflictions will be more intense.

>

> [sutra #6]

>

> It was next pointed out by the Professor, that people wish to know when they

are scheduled to come out of a certain persistent problem, and as Transits hold

the key to this, the study of Transits becomes very important.

>

> He cited the example of one individual [A Scorpio Asdt-this is Case Study #

3, which follows: Birth Details: Dec 7th, 1966; 5:58 AM; [74E48, 34N06, IST]]

who did not have a job for 4 consecutive yrs, and then went on to get a job,

after performing remedies. However, in spite of the job, he was having lot of

stress in the job, so he was contemplating returning back to his home country.

So, that individual had sought clarification through his pertinent question:

" What are the astrological reasons for this impasse, in the SA? "

>

>

> The Professor explained: it is because of the loss of mental peace in

distant lands, due to difficult Transits, that in such cases, they want to know,

" How long will it take, for the present difficulties to subside? "

>

> In yet another example, the Professor mentioned how, once when Tr Ju was

slowly transiting the Ra-Ke Axis, it made the person, grievously sick. So, the

individual was admitted into a good hospital, which in spite of the best

diagnostic facilities, could not make a `correct' diagnosis, so finally, they

gave antibiotics, and sent him home![Recall `evasive and nebulous' answers] This

illustrates how Tr St Influences also cause health problems.

> " The Impact of Functional Malefic Planets " :

>

>

> The Professor reminded us that the Lords of VIH, VIIIH, & XIIH[when they

have, MTSs] are Malefic Lords for any Asdt, in addition to Ra and Ke, which are

always Malefic Lords for all Asdts..

>

> And that the MMP [Most Malefic Planet], which causes death and very

difficult obstructions, is the Lord of the VIIIH, when the VIIIH, has a MTS.

>

> And, that such Malefic Hs [Houses] which rule such things as health-

problems, disputes, litigations, losses through theft; death & serious

obstructions; losses, imprisonment & expenditures; respectively, bring their

various Malefic significations through the `close' influence of the FM Planets

on other Planets and Hs.[`Close' means, the orb of affliction is less than 5

degs, `Exact' means, the orb is within 1 degree].[sutra # 7, See also Pg 23,

Predictive Techniques]

>

>

> " In case of special or multiple afflictions, the otherwise " strong " planet

is considered afflicted (and weak) even when the orb of affliction is of two

degrees.

>

> " The affliction is special or multiple i.e. when it comes from:

>

> 1) a conjunction with/ aspect from the most malefic planet,

>

> 2) an aspect from a functional malefic planet placed in a dusthana,

>

> 3) a conjunction with Rahu or Ketu (Rahu-Ketu axis)

>

> 4) an aspect of a functional malefic planet afflicted by other(s) functional

malefic planet,

>

> 5) more than one functional malefic planet at the same time. "

>

> " And that in the case of Exact afflictions, they manifest in the early

stages of life, in the first sub-period of either the afflicting FM, or the

afflicted Planet. " [sutra # 8]

>

>

> Lest we form an entirely negative impression of the Malefic Hs: VIH, VIIIH,

& XIIH, the Professor hastened to add that: " These three Malefic Hs, also

indicate positive things in life, conducive to our general well-being in one way

or the other. And for receiving these fruits of the Malefic Hs, they should

always be strong in the Natal Chart and the Malefic Lords should not also cause

any afflictions in the Natal Chart " .[sutra #9]

>

>

> The fruits of these Malefic Hs, when strong were mentioned by the Professor:

" That the strong VIH Lord [when strong], blesses, with a sound financial

position, with victory over enemies, with no apprehension of losses through

theft, fire, and litigations. " [sutra #10]

>

>

> " A strong VIIIH gives the fruits of a long-lived father, long-life, long

-lasting marriage, easy gains in life " [sutra # 11].

>

>

> " If the XIIH is strong, then one has good gains in foreign lands, blessings

of comforts & luxuries, the blessings of not being subjected to unnecessary

expenses, no danger of being pursued by the Law of the Land[little chances of

imprisonment] " [sutra # 12].

>

>

> To illustrate the impact of Malefic Hs, the Professor cited the classic

example of the Natal Chart of the US, in which the IVH Lord was badly-placed in

the Malefic VIH. This had caused, he said, an abnormal fall of the property

prices in that country due to mortgage problems, partly triggering the recent

economic recession [2008-2009]. He also added that the weakness of Venus, as

Lord of the IVH, had put the US in deficit financing.

>

>

>

> In passing, he mentioned that a strong Asdt Lord in XIH, made the US

ambitious for wealth, a strong IIH, Lord placed in the VIIH, had given the US a

commanding prestige in foreign countries [which is signified primarily by the

VIIH in the SA]. And that a strong XH Lord, placed in VH of intellectual

creations, had put the US again, in a commanding position, with respect to the

whole world, where the holding of " Intellectual Property Rights " was concerned.

>

>

> The Professor now took up a series of significant case studies, to throw

light on the Impact of the Malefic Lords, in the lives of people.

>

>

> Case Study # 1:

>

>

> Birth Details: [02-06-1980, 5:27AM, [77E14, 28N39], TZ=-5:30hrs] `Never

agrees with the views of the others'. Taurus Asdt, with MEP at 17degs 53mts.

>

>

> Commenting on the Chart of this young lady[more than 29 yrs old], the

Professor explained, that in this Taurus Asdt Chart, the affliction to the H of

emotional intelligence[ruled by Me] by the Malefic VIH Lord, Ve, has made her

very stubborn, thereby making her stick to her views only.[sutra #13]. In

addition, he explained, the placement of the Malefic Ma, almost on the MEP of

the IVH, and throwing the 4th aspect on to the MEP of the VIIH of marital

relationship-has created weakness of the Marital Hs, and hence delay in marital

settlement. When the Professor was asked whether the impact of the Benefic Su on

the Asdt MEP, will not also make her egoistic and somewhat proud, which could be

unfavourable for a harmonious marriage, he answered that as the Su is the MBP

[Most Benefic Planet] for the Taurus Asdt, the affliction to its MTH, is

certainly also another unfavourable factor, causing delay in marital settlement.

>

> Case Study # 2:

>

>

> Birth Details:[Feb 9th, 1958, 17:00Hrs, [74E48, 34N05]

>

> Cancer Asdt with MEP at: 13degs 46mts.

>

>

> Professor pointed out that, though Ju rules the Malefic VIH, and afflicts

the Asdt Lord Mo, almost exactly; the good strength of Ju and the Sun had

nonetheless blessed her with a son. However, the XH Lord, Ma is weakly-placed in

the VIH, and is further seen to suffer an exact affliction from the Malefic Ke.

Because of the affliction, though she tries to work professionally, no success

is seen in her work. Under these trying circumstances, she has posed two Qs to

the Professor. Q1: In what manner should she set up her work? Q2: Whether her

fate, will make her successful in any kind of partnership?

>

> The Professor ruled out partnership, as the affliction from the Malefic VIH

Lord to the Asdt Lord, the Mo, would make the person argumentative and lacking

in flexibility and adjustment. He also recommended Remedial Measures, for

warding off Natal and Tr afflictions from all the FMs: Ra, Ke, Ju and even Sa.

The Professor has [if I remember correctly] given her the mandate to enter

business, as her strong IIIH, strong Ve and strong Me were patently, good

assets, for such business ventures.

>

>

>

> Roop Saranji asked the Prof whether the affliction to the Mo-will not spoil

health? To this he replied that, Ju, being strong as the VIH Lord, equally

contributes to the health [like the Asdt Lord], so the affliction to the Mo from

the VIH Lord is not so damaging. Turning from health to marriage, the Professor

also remarked that: " As marriages are made or destroyed, depending upon the

strengths of the IIH & IVH; or afflictions to these Hs " [sutra #14] , this Chart

shows a favourability for sustaining Marriage.

>

>

>

> Case Study # 3:

>

>

> Birth Details: Feb 9th, 1934; 5:00AM; [75E30, 32N02]] `Longevity Question']

>

> In this particular case study, it was pointed out that the individual had

almost lost all inheritance and earnings [see the Lord of inheritance badly

placed & deb at that, in the Malefic XIIH of losses, and the further exact

affliction to: the Su, as the Lord of the IXH of fortune, and also to a deeply

combust Sa, as the Lord of the IIIH of success, & drive.

>

>

> Pointing to the almost exact conjunction of the two Benefic Professional

Lords: Me and Ma, in the IIIH of understanding and communication, he said, this

conjunction was good, despite the weakness of the planetary energies and had

lead to his qualifying himself as a Chartered Accountant.

>

>

> The individual had a massive heart attack in 1970[when he was only 36 yrs

old], when he was jogging on Marine Drive in Mumbai, and after an unavoidable

loss of time of about one hour, he was moved to a hospital. In reply to a

question from (probably) Rakesh Sharmaji, Rajeshji pointed out that the exact

affliction of the Nodes to the Su had caused the problem.

>

>

> Going back to his `difficulties in life', the Professor, emphasizing that in

the late evening of his life, instead of his children coming to live with him,

it was he who is living with his children. The difficulties were caused mainly

by the close Rahu-Ketu affliction and " the VIIIH Lord being placed in XIIH,

which brings about, loss of most of the things, gained " .

>

> [sutra #15]

>

>

> It was also pointed out that as, as many as, 5 FB Planets were placed in the

Sun-like Hs, this had indeed given the initial rise in life, but Ra's Conj with

the Su, had also resulted in frequent enquiries, and that this torment from the

Government departments went on for many years without his being guilty.

>

> " Malefic happenings in life came to pass, the Professor emphasized, whenever

the FB Planets Tr over Natal FMs " [sutra #16]

>

>

> In passing he said always, the comprehensive picture of the TTT, must be

examined: " This is called the Triple Transit Triggering (TTT) influence, as it

is true for the three possible combinations of the Transit Influence – i.e.,

Transit over Natal, Transit over Transit, and Natal over Transit. " [sutra # 17,

See Pg 13, Predictive Techniques]

>

>

> Drawing attention to the Nodal affliction to the Su, in this individual's

Chart, he said, " The essence of Ra's impact on the Su, is invariably action by

the State on the individual " [sutra #18]..

>

>

> Another Sutra was also given, of more general utility [sutra #19]: " Ra gives

`severe threatening situations'. One may not lose everything gained, as this

depends on the placement of the Su, and the severity of its multiple weaknesses,

etc. However, if Su is badly-placed in Malefic Hs, then the impact of Ra's

affliction can be very bad. The multiple weaknesses, have to be always examined.

Gravity of Ra's affliction is always in proportion to the multiplicity &

severity of the weaknesses of the afflicted Planet " [sutra # 20].

>

>

>

> Case Study # 4:

>

>

> `A case of the influence of the VIIIH Lord'.

>

> Birth Details:[sept 9th , 1979, [0W10, 51N30], 2:20AM,

>

> Cancer Asdt, MEP at 8 degs, 19mts, Time Zone=BST(-1:00Hrs)].

>

>

> In this Chart, the MMP Sa is seen to be in conjunction with the Su, which is

the PD [Prime Determinant] of the life-partner, and the Prof put it succinctly:

" For Cancer Asdt people, the Su, basically rules marriage " [sutra #21] .He also

pointed out that: " When the affliction caused by the VIIIH Lord[MMP] is severe,

then securing relief through the Remedial Measures also becomes difficult " [sutra

#22].

>

>

> Though his problems are now gone, the Professor remarked that when the

crisis had struck, his foremost question was: " Why am I having difficulty in

finding a partner? " Prof added that: " In such circumstances, the individual, who

has come seeking answers for his questions, must be educated about the

affliction to the Su, the general significations[GSs] of the Su, as well as

about the significations[ss] of the H, ruled by the Su; as this knowledge, will

give him peace of mind, for it will be seen to tally with his real-life

experiences, which show to him, that all these GSs of the Su, & the Ss of the

House ruled by the Su, had in fact, not meet with fruition so far " .

>

> [sutra #23]

>

>

> Case Study # 5:

>

>

> The Professor gave the good news that this case study [which was also

discussed at the last SA Conf] pertained to an individual, who had in fact

married just yesterday! Here too Su[which was already seen to be the PD of

marriage], was under an exact Ra-Ke affliction, and not affliction from the

other Malefic Lords.

>

> This was a case study, the Professor said, which pertained to the

professional sphere. The individual, could not find a job at all. All efforts

had failed.

>

> For Virgo Asdts, the PD of profession is Ve, and as Ve was badly placed in

the Malefic XIIH of losses, & further also very grievously afflicted by the

highly Malefic Ra from the Most Malefic VIIIH, & as Sa, another Malefic Lord had

also afflicted the Asdt Lord Me exactly, & even the Asdt H, closely[ & Sa even

afflicted closely the VIIH, IXH, the IVH in addition], for this individual,

professional settlement had become a near impossibility. In this condition, he

had approached Prof Choudhry for guidance.

>

>

> It was pointed out that there was some small measure of Grace in his life,

amidst all these difficulties, as the mere placement of the XIH Lord of income

and gains, the Mo, in the Benefic VH, had taken care of his survival necessities

[sa was strong as the VIH Lord].

>

>

> In the context of the Malefic Sa afflicting the VIIH `closely', the

Professor, asked us to take note of the important sutra: " In the case of a

Non-MTH being afflicted `closely' by a Malefic Lord, even such a `close'

affliction must still be taken seriously only " [sutra #24]

Professional Setback'. Cancer Asdt, with MEP at 16 degs 02mts.

>

>

> Afflictions in the Chart, caused by the Malefic Lords, Ju and Sa:

>

> XH afflicted by MMP. The MMP, Sa, also afflicts the IVH, the VIIH, the XIIH,

and the Asdt Lord, the Mo, which is badly-placed in the XIIH.

>

> VIH lord afflicting the IIIH Lord, the IIIH, the IXH, the VIIH, and the XIH.

>

> Dasa of VIIIH Lord was running, all planets [except the strong Su] are weak.

>

> The Professor narrated that this lady had numerous problems, the husband was

bed-ridden for many yrs, so she had to earn a living by running a grocery store.

The affliction to the XH, the IIIH, the XIH of income brought her to the

Professor-for a professional consultation. He said, the afflictions caused by

the MMP, Sa and by the FM, Ju to four Hs each, took its toll. Though the Su, as

the PD of marital life was strong, the severe afflictions to so many Hs, also

had their say. The lesson drawn from this Chart was the following: " If there are

close/exact afflictions in a Chart, then even though a strong Planet may be

there, sufferings will still be part of life " [sutra #25].

> This Chart, the Professor said, illustrates the sufferings arising from the

afflictions caused by the Malefic Ju[MMP, Lord of the VIIIH], which afflicts Ma,

the XIIH Lord, and the afflictions caused by the Malefic VIH Lord Ve, which

afflicts the Asdt as well as the Mo.

>

>

> During sub-period of Ve in the Dasa of Ju, the MMP[i.e., between Sept `01 &

May `04], the individual was involved in a massive accident, went into coma[as

the VIIIH of `longevity of life' is closely afflicted by the loss & injury

giving FM, Ma] and was confined to a hospital for many months. The affliction

was so grievous [orb of affliction is less than 2 degs] that he remained in coma

for as long as 5 yrs, before finally succumbing to death. The Professor's point

was that: " Whenever there are afflictions from the VIIIH Lord [MMP], very

dangerous life-threatening situations can arise, like coma, death, or such other

sufferings, as can even be worse than death itself. " [sutra # 26].

was not successful. The progeny matters for Cancer ascendant persons are ruled

by the Sun and significator, Jupiter. Looking at the Chart, one found, Su, the

PD of children, for a Cancer Asdt Chart, was badly placed in the Malefic VIH

whose Lord is afflicted; Ju, the general significator[GS] of male progeny,

exactly afflicted by the Most Malefic Planet, Sa. Thus all significators of

progeny seemed to be afflicted. The Mo, another supplementary Determinant was

also weak due to the weakness of dispositor, Sun.

Thanks for the mention of my Android program.

contacted me about getting a new phone right before the conference and I

advised him on getting an Android phone over Windows Mobile because I

was about to release this Jyotish Tools for Android phones. I feel that

Android will dominate the smart phone market very soon because being

open source costs manufacturers and telecoms nothing to license. I have

two free programs, GPS Prasna and Quick Jyotish that have been available

for some time both on the Android Market and my own website. I realize

that Indian telecoms may not yet have the Android Market available (due

to Google not implementing it there) so I am planning next week to have

Jyotish Tools available on another market that will be accessible from

India. I realize that some are only beginning to consider moving to a

smart phone and have made a video demo which you can view on the

JyotishTools site:

http://jyotishtools.com/android.php

 

I also am in the process of implementing a redirect for mobile users to

a mobile friendly version of my site.
