Sudarshan Chakra Formation

The Sudarshan Chakra is formed by placing the Moon at the center and arranging the other planets around it in their respective positions from the birth chart . Here's how it is typically formed: Placement of the Moon: The Moon, representing the mind and emotions, is placed at the center of the Sudarshan Chakra. Its position in the birth chart determines the central point from which the other planets are arranged. Arrangement of Planets: The positions of the remaining planets ( Sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn ) from the birth chart are then placed around the Moon in their respective positions. Each planet's position relative to the Moon in the birth chart is replicated in the Sudarshan Chakra. Aspect Analysis : Once the planets are arranged, the aspects between them are represented by lines drawn from one planet to another. These lines indicate the mutual influences and relationships between the planets, allowing astrologers to assess the strength and nature of ...

Sudarshan Chakra

  In Vedic astrology, the Sudarshan Chakra is a powerful tool used for predictive analysis and understanding the dynamic interplay of planetary energies in a birth chart. Sudarshan Chakra literally translates to "the wheel of auspicious vision" and is named after the divine discus wielded by Lord Vishnu, which is said to destroy negativity and bring about positive transformation. The Sudarshan Chakra is a special chart that provides a comprehensive view of planetary positions and their aspects from different perspectives. Here's how it works: 1.       Formation: The Sudarshan Chakra is created by placing the Moon at the center and arranging the other planets around it in their respective positions from the birth chart. The arrangement of planets in the Sudarshan Chakra allows astrologers to analyze the mutual aspects and relationships between planets. 2.       Aspect Analysis: In the Sudarshan Chakra, each planet's ...

Panchadha

  "Panchadha" typically refers to the division of something into five parts or categories. In the context of astrology, "Panchadha" could refer to various concepts or techniques that involve the number five. Here are a few possible interpretations: 1.       Panchadha Bhava: In Vedic astrology, the twelve houses (bhavas) of the birth chart can be classified into different categories based on their nature and significance. Panchadha Bhava refers to the division of the houses into five groups: Kendra (angular houses), Trikona (trine houses), Dusthana (malefic or difficult houses), Upachaya (growth or improvement houses), and Apoklima (decline or loss houses). 2.       Panchadha Maitri: Maitri (friendship) is an important concept in Vedic astrology used to assess the compatibility between planets. Panchadha Maitri involves classifying the friendship between planets into five categories: Maitri (friendly), Shatru (hostile...

Temporal

  The term "temporal" in astrology refers to the concept of time and the temporal dimension in which astrological events unfold. Astrology is inherently temporal, as it involves the study of celestial movements and their influence on earthly events over time. Several temporal factors are crucial in astrology: 1.       Planetary Movements: The movements of planets through the zodiac signs and their various aspects to each other and to specific points in a birth chart are fundamental to astrology. These movements occur over time and create dynamic configurations that astrologers interpret to understand the influence of planetary energies on individuals and events. 2.       Transits: Transits occur when planets in the current sky form aspects to planets or sensitive points in an individual's birth chart. These transits unfold over time and can indicate periods of opportunity, challenge, or change in different are...

Permanent

  In Vedic astrology, there is no concept of "permanent" in the sense of a fixed, unchanging condition. Astrological influences are dynamic and subject to change based on various factors such as planetary movements, transits, and individual karmic patterns. However, some aspects of a birth chart can be considered relatively stable or enduring over time. For example: 1.       Nakshatras: The Nakshatras, or lunar mansions, are constellations that the Moon passes through during its monthly cycle. They provide deeper insights into personality traits, emotional patterns, and life themes. While planetary transits can influence the expression of Nakshatra qualities, the Nakshatras themselves remain a consistent part of a person's astrological profile. 2.       Yogas: Yogas are special combinations of planets in the birth chart that indicate specific outcomes or potentials in a person's life. Some yogas are considered...

Bindu Reduction

  Bindu reduction, also known as "Bindu Kshaya" in Vedic astrology, refers to the process of decreasing the Ashtakavarga bindus (points) of specific houses or planets due to malefic transits or influences. It's a refinement technique used to adjust the Ashtakavarga scores to reflect the current astrological conditions accurately. Here's how bindu reduction works: 1.       Identify Malefic Transits: Determine which malefic planets are transiting specific houses or aspecting certain planets in the birth chart. Malefic planets typically include Saturn, Mars, and sometimes Rahu and Ketu. 2.       Evaluate Malefic Influence: Assess the strength and nature of malefic influences on the houses or planets. Malefic planets can cause challenges, delays, obstacles, or adverse effects depending on their positions, aspects, and relationships in the birth chart. 3.       Subtract Bindus: Subtract bind...

Adjusted Ashtakavarga Scores

  To calculate the adjusted Ashtakavarga scores after bindu reduction, you'll need to subtract the appropriate bindus from the original Ashtakavarga scores based on the malefic influences identified through transits or other factors. Here's a general approach: 1.       Identify Malefic Influences: Determine which houses or planets are under malefic influences due to transits or other astrological factors. Malefic influences typically involve Saturn, Mars, Rahu, and Ketu. 2.       Determine Reduction Amount: Decide the amount of bindu reduction for each affected house or planet based on the intensity of the malefic influence. The reduction can vary depending on the severity of the transit or affliction. 3.       Subtract Bindus: Subtract the determined bindu reduction from the original Ashtakavarga scores of the affected houses or planets. This adjustment reflects the mitigated influe...

Benefic and Malefic Influence

  In Vedic astrology, benefic and malefic influences refer to the favorable and unfavorable effects that planets can have on an individual's life based on their positions in the birth chart and their interactions with other planets. Benefic Planets: ●        Jupiter (Guru): Known as the most benefic planet, Jupiter represents wisdom, knowledge, growth, and expansion. Its influence is generally positive and brings blessings, prosperity, and opportunities for growth. ●        Venus (Shukra): Venus governs love, relationships, beauty, creativity, and harmony. Its influence is favorable, promoting happiness, pleasure, and prosperity. ●        Mercury (Budha): Mercury rules communication, intellect, learning, and commerce. Its influence is generally beneficial, fostering intelligence, adaptability, and skill. ●        Waxing Moon (Shukla Paksha)...

Transiting Planets

  Transiting planets refer to the positions of planets in the sky at any given time relative to the positions of planets in an individual's natal (birth) chart. These transits are continually changing as the planets move through the zodiac, and they play a significant role in influencing astrological interpretations. In Vedic astrology, the movement of transiting planets is crucial for predicting various events and analyzing the current influences on an individual's life. Astrologers examine the interactions between transiting planets and natal planets to make predictions and offer guidance. Some important transiting planets in Vedic astrology include: 1.       Sun (Surya): Represents vitality, energy, and individuality. 2.       Moon (Chandra): Reflects emotions, intuition, and the mind. 3.       Mercury (Budha): Governs communication, intellect, and commerce. 4.    ...

Shodhya Pinda

  "Shodhya Pinda" is a term used in Vedic astrology, particularly in Ashtakavarga calculations. It refers to the process of reducing the Ashtakavarga scores of planets due to the transit of other planets over them. The concept of Shodhya Pinda involves subtracting certain bindus (points) from the original Ashtakavarga scores of planets based on the transits of benefic and malefic planets. The purpose is to refine the predictions by considering the current influence of transiting planets on the natal positions of planets in the birth chart. Here's a simplified explanation of how Shodhya Pinda works: 1.       Transiting Planets: Identify the transiting planets and their positions relative to the natal positions of planets in the birth chart. 2.       Benefic and Malefic Influence: Determine whether the transiting planets are benefic (favorable) or malefic (unfavorable) for each natal planet. 3.   ...

Calculate the Adjusted Ashtakavarga Scores

  Sure, let's calculate the adjusted Ashtakavarga scores after Ekadhipatya Shodhan. We'll add 1 bindu to the Ashtakavarga scores of planets that are lords of the Trikona houses. Here's the calculation: 1.       Sun (Lord of the 1st House): Adjust the Ashtakavarga score for the Sun by adding 1 bindu. ●        Original Ashtakavarga score for Sun = 65 (as calculated earlier) ●        Adjusted Ashtakavarga score for Sun = 65 + 1 = 66 2.       Jupiter (Lord of the 5th House): Adjust the Ashtakavarga score for Jupiter by adding 1 bindu. ●        Original Ashtakavarga score for Jupiter = (calculate it using the earlier method) ●        Adjusted Ashtakavarga score for Jupiter = (original score) + 1 3.       Mars (Lord of the 9th House): Adjust the Ashtakavarga score for Mars by...

Identify the Lords of Trikona Houses

  To identify the lords of the Trikona houses (1st, 5th, and 9th houses) from the Ascendant (Lagna) in a birth chart, you need to determine which planets rule these houses. Here's how you can do it: 1.       Ascendant (Lagna): Identify the zodiac sign that is rising on the eastern horizon at the time of birth. The ruler of this sign is the lord of the 1st house. 2.       Fifth House (Panchama Bhava): Count five signs from the sign of the Ascendant, including the sign of the Ascendant itself. The ruler of this sign is the lord of the 5th house. 3.       Ninth House (Navama Bhava): Similarly, count nine signs from the sign of the Ascendant, including the sign of the Ascendant itself. The ruler of this sign is the lord of the 9th house. Once you've identified the rulers of the 1st, 5th, and 9th houses, those planets are considered the lords of the Trikona houses. For example: ●  ...

Adjust the Ashtakavarga Scores

  To adjust the Ashtakavarga scores after Ekadhipatya Shodhan, you add 1 bindu to the Ashtakavarga score of each planet for each Trikona house it rules. Here's how you can adjust the scores: 1.       Sun (Lord of the 1st House): If the Sun is the lord of the 1st house (Trikona house), add 1 bindu to its Ashtakavarga score. 2.       Jupiter (Lord of the 5th House): If Jupiter is the lord of the 5th house (Trikona house), add 1 bindu to its Ashtakavarga score. 3.       Mars (Lord of the 9th House): If Mars is the lord of the 9th house (Trikona house), add 1 bindu to its Ashtakavarga score. Repeat this process for each planet, adding 1 bindu to its Ashtakavarga score for each Trikona house it rules. After adjusting the scores, you will have the final Ashtakavarga scores for each planet, which reflect their strength after considering their influence as lords of Trikona houses. Let me know if you need...

After Ekadhipatya Shodhan

  After Trikon Shodhan, another adjustment called "Ekadhipatya Shodhan" can be applied to further refine the Ashtakavarga scores. In Ekadhipatya Shodhan, additional points are added to the Ashtakavarga scores of planets that are lords of the 1st, 5th, and 9th houses (Trikona houses) from themselves. Here's how you can perform Ekadhipatya Shodhan: 1.       Identify the Lords of Trikona Houses: Determine the lords of the 1st, 5th, and 9th houses from the Ascendant (Lagna). These lords are the Sun, Jupiter, and Mars, respectively. 2.       Adjust the Ashtakavarga Scores: For each planet, if it is the lord of any of the Trikona houses, add 1 bindu to its Ashtakavarga score for each Trikona house it rules. 3.       Calculate the Adjusted Ashtakavarga Scores: Sum up the adjusted bindu values for each planet across all the signs. This will give you the final Ashtakavarga scores for each planet after Ekadh...

After Trikon Shodhan

  Trikon Shodhan is a process of reducing Ashtakavarga scores to determine the net influence of planets after considering their strength in specific angular houses (trikonas). Here's how you can perform Trikon Shodhan: 1.       Identify the Trikona Houses: The Trikona houses are the 1st, 5th, and 9th houses from the Ascendant (Lagna) in the birth chart. These houses are considered auspicious and provide strength to the planets placed in them. 2.       Adjust the Ashtakavarga Scores: For each planet, adjust its Ashtakavarga score based on its placement in the Trikona houses: ●        If a planet is placed in a Trikona house, add 2 bindus to its Ashtakavarga score. ●        If a planet is not placed in a Trikona house, leave its Ashtakavarga score unchanged. 3.       Calculate the Adjusted Ashtakavarga Scores: Sum up the adjusted bindu valu...

Ashtak Varga (Before Reduction)

  To calculate the Ashtakavarga scores for each planet before reduction, you sum up the bindu values for each planet across all the signs without considering reductions due to transits. Here's how you can calculate it: For each planet: 1.       Add up the bindu values for that planet in each sign. 2.       The sum of these bindu values represents the total Ashtakavarga score for that planet before reduction. Here's a general example for the Sun: Total Ashtakavarga score for Sun = (Bindu in Aries) + (Bindu in Taurus) + ... + (Bindu in Pisces) Total Ashtakavarga score for Sun = (8 + 7 + 6 + 5 + 4 + 3 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 7) Total Ashtakavarga score for Sun = 65 Repeat this process for each planet, and you'll get the total Ashtakavarga scores for each planet before reduction. Let me know if you'd like me to perform these calculations for all the planets!

Interpretation

  Interpreting the total bindus for each planet involves understanding the strength and influence of the planets in the birth chart. Higher total bindus indicate stronger planetary influence, while lower total bindus suggest weaker influence. Here's a general interpretation: 1.       Sun: A higher total bindus for the Sun suggests strong vitality, confidence, and leadership qualities. The individual may have a strong sense of self and may take on leadership roles. Conversely, lower total bindus may indicate challenges in expressing one's individuality and asserting oneself. 2.       Moon: Higher total bindus for the Moon indicate emotional sensitivity, intuition, and nurturing qualities. The individual may be deeply connected to their emotions and may have strong instincts. Lower total bindus may suggest emotional instability or difficulty in connecting with one's feelings. 3.       Mars: Higher total...
