The ninth lord and the seventh lord. The ninth lord and the tenth lord. Importance of the Navamsha In Hindu Astrology what is apparent in the birth horoscope may improve or deteriorate in the navamsha. It is never safe to make any prediction without using the navamsha. So we will go deeper from here onwards. Here the so-called evil houses must have new meaning.
What is necessary to stress is not to undermine the importance of houses other than the kendras and trikonas. Directional Strength Out of the six-fold strength of planets popular in Hindu Astrology, we shall make use only of directional strength here, which is to be seen as follows: Jupiter and Mercury are strong in the lagna.
The Moon and Venus are strong in the fourth house.
Jyothish Books: K.N. Rao
Saturn is strong in the seventh house. The Sun and Mars are strong in the tenth house. Rahu and Ketu in the kendras behave like kendra lords and in trikonas behave like trikona lords.
If they are aspected by Jupiter they acquire beneficence. Importance of the Dasha In view of the importance of making careers early in life, it is of utmost important to see what dasha one gets at the right time for achieving what one has achieved. A check-list is being given here. See what are the Rajayogas in a horoscope, by which what is meant is the combination of kendra and trikona lords.
See whether the planets promising high things in the birth horoscope have deteriorated in the navamsha or have improved. Look out for new meanings in the changed times in which we are living.
Note the planets with directional strength. See what is the mahadasha and antar-dasha or major and sub-periods running at a given time. Wherever necessary use the sub-sub-period also. Some illustrations will be given in the book. Last will come transit of planets. To give exaggerated importance to transits is to mistake the feather of a bird for the bird itself.
Note — A planet which remains at the same place as in the birth horoscope is called vargottama planet also. Therefore add vargottama planets also. Do not forget to examine "A" arishta first, before launching into a prediction. Note — An astrologer is not infallible.
Yet a sound and detailed analysis of a horoscope will give to him a life average of eighty percent correct predictions. Often, I have given predictions about big events, overlooking the "X" element and gone wrong. In USA those who expect one hour of reading from an astrologer are themselves responsible for driving an astrologer into a wrong position.
Sometimes, a horoscope may take hours of verification for its correctness. This fact is forgotten by many people who blame the astrologer without being sure that their horoscope is correctly cast. Rajayoga Illustrations Example One In this horoscope all planets not given , note the following feature: The Moon is in his own house. Venus has acquired directional strength being in the fourth house.
In the navamsha Saturn gets exalted. Jupiter also gets exalted. Venus is in its own house. Dasha Sequence — He got the dasha of Venus of twenty years from the age of fifteen years.
No wonder he has made a very good career as a big government officer in Government of India. Example Two Rajayogas — 1.
Mars the lagna lord combines with the fifth lord Jupiter and forms a Rajayoga. The exchange of the exalted Moon, with Venus is another Rajayoga.
Mars and Mercury are in their own houses while the Moon the lord of ninth house luck , is exalted. Rahu and Ketu and the Sun the tenth lord of the birth horoscope are vargottama, as they have not changed their positions. Saturn and the Moon occupy their own house. Dasha Sequence — From the age of eight he got the dasha of Rahu of full eighteen years.

Rahu with exalted ninth lord, involved in an exchange with Venus, joins in promoting the Rajayoga. More important is the fact that Rahu is vargottama. He next got the full sixteen years of Jupiter who is involved in the Rajayoga as we have seen. He made his career in the period of Rahu and went on rising higher and higher in the period of Jupiter.
Saturn again contributed to his rise but at the very last stage halted his progress when he could not reach the topmost position. Saturn with Ketu aspected by Mars the sixth lord opposition gave him since exalted Moon also aspects Saturn technically, a higher post but it was not the coveted post which he wanted.
Why did this happen? Here comes the importance of the sub-sub-period.
In February when this crucial decision was to have been taken he was passing through: Saturn as we have already seen has to cause him some disappointment at some stage.
Jupiter in the sixth house of opposition with the sixth lord Mars is also in the sixth house from Saturn. Note — In interpreting the results of the dasha the mutual disposition between the major dasha lord here Saturn and the sub-dasha lord here Jupiter gives a valuable clue whether the work will be done smoothly or not.
The sub-sub-period lord is Mercury, the eighth lord in the eighth house, representing a set-back. But being with a vargottama Sun, it did not cause any serious handicap. He was given a higher status and not the coveted post which everyone thought he deserved. It became a case of being kicked "upward to be demoted or overlooked.
The Gajakesari yoga in the fifth house, the Lakshmi sthana of wealth is most promising. Mars the tenth lord with Venus the ninth lord in the seventh house shows that both he and his wife occupy important positions in their business establishments. The Sun and Mercury are also the fifth and seventh lords forming another Rajayoga.
Saturn is exalted, like Mercury. Navamsha — Sun gets exalted; Mercury is vargottama exalted while Mars is vargottama. This will be followed by the dasha of vargottama and exalted Mercury which will be excellent. But what is fortune is also misfortune. This horoscope does not promise birth of children. The combination of Jupiter and the Sun is known as a Rajalakshana yoga, a promise of regal dignity.
The fifth house is the house of dignity. The dasha of the fifth lord is the time for such promised dignity to manifest. The other Rajayogas are the combination of Venus, the lagna lord with Mercury the ninth lord, with Venus being exalted. The aspect of Mars, the seventh lord and Saturn, the fifth lord is another Rajayoga.
A prediction was given to him that in the period of Saturn and the sub-period of Venus he would get a very dignified position. He has been for five years in now the head of an Indian state. The navamsha continues the promise of Jupiter-Sun combination. Mars and Venus are in their own houses.
The Moon is Vargottama. It being the dasha of his fifth lord his children are also prospering. Some instances have already been given of such exchanges earlier. The second instance under "D" has Meena lagna whose lord Jupiter is in the fourth house and the fourth lord Mercury is in the lagna.
It is an excellent exchange not only between two benefics but also two excellent houses the house representing body lagna and the house representing happiness the fourth house As it is, Jupiter in the fourth house is good even otherwise. The second instance is the the fifth example under "D". Here the lord of the lagna, Mars is in the fifth house of goddess Lakshmi and the lord of the fifth is in the lagna.
It is an excellent exchange for material prosperity and attainment of high positions in life. Under "A" the first example shows that the second lord in the sixth house acquires death-dealing propensities. In the second example under "R" the ninth lord of the lagna Vrishchika , is the Moon exalted in the 7th house while the 7th lord, Venus, is in the ninth house.
This person rose very high in his job. In her case the second lord gets exchanged with the fifth lord, the lagna with the seventh lord and the sixth lord with the eleventh lord.
S - Special Features Every horoscope has some very special features, special yogas and their intricacies are so baffling that it takes many hours of work of many days to unravel the planetary mysteries which tell their stories.
Jawaharlal Nehru The first prime minister of India, Jawaharlal Nehru had an extraordinary horoscope in which there is a continuous chain of planets from the lagna to the sixth house.
It is called Mallika yoga or the garland of planets, It is a rare planetary position for an emperor. Jawaharlal Nehru was the greatest visionary and the statesman of his era, though, he, because of his European unbringing worked against the cultural and religious interests of India.
It is known a guruchandala yoga, guru represents the spiritual, cultural and religious traditions and when he gets afflicted by two malefics he loses that and becomes a chandala the low grade person. Three benefics aspecting his tenth house have kept alive his image as an idealist in a world of crooked statesmanship.
But three exalted planets, Jupiter, Saturn and Mars, gave to his political career rarest resilience. Later, in the Mercury period he become the prime minister of India inspite of the terrible intrigues of Indira Gandhi against him.
Morarji had the rare greatness to excuse Indira Gandhi after he became the prime minister and give her adequate security to save her from many Indians who might have murdered her and her son Sanjay Gandhi for the atrocities they had committed during the National Emergency of when Indira Gandhi was the prime minister of India.
The exchange between the fifth lord, Venus and the eighth lord, Saturn in his horoscope made his experiences with his children very painful. One daughter of his committed suicide and while his only surviving son, Kanti Bhai Desai was accused of being corrupt. This bad exchange of the fifth and the eighth lord was his misfortune. But the most remarkable feature of the horoscope of Morarji is that from Saturn, three planets are in kendra in Makar, Venus, Mercury and Mars and one in the tenth house, Jupiter.
See it from Jupiter or from Mars, Venus, Mercury combination - all these planets are in kendras from each other exerting pressure on each other to do their best of the worst. Two benefics, Mercury, the lagna lord and Venus in the eighth house with exalted Mars aspected by an exalted Jupiter has given to Morarji a long life.
Born on February 29th on a leap year in , he entered his hundredth year and was the oldest surviving statesman of the world. He died in after February. Then an exalted Jupiter in the second house gave to him majesty of truth speaking, a rare virtue among politicians. The Consolidated Check-List What has been discussed so far is being divided into different sections in the form of a consolidated check-list, which every astrologer must practice before giving a prediction.
Section One P — See how each lord of the twelve houses is placed. A — See which planet aspects which other planet and the house. C — See which planets are conjunct, their relationships, their lordships for further analysis. Section Two D — See how the lords of the lagna, second, fifth, ninth and the eleventh houses from a PAC relationship, to find about the planetary information available about monetary gains, losses etc.
A — See how the lagna lord and the Moon and the lords and houses known from malefiscence, the sixth, the eighth, the twelfth and even the third are in a horoscope. E — Exchanges between the lords of houses have their own mysterious meaning. This is an area of great research.
S — Every horoscope has special features, from the most ordinary man's to the most extraordinary. To understand it one has to read all the available classics of Hindu astrology which have, by one estimate, fifty million stanzas in Sanskrit in many manuscripts which are to be translated into Indian languages.
It is estimated that only one-fifth of a million stanzas are available to us in Indian languages while in English only a few thousand have been translated. It is because of this that western astrologers argue vainly and without any basis that India is not the land of origin of astrology.
A nation with so many millions of Sanskrit stanzas, so many manuscripts and with its belief in reincarnation and transmigration of souls alone can be the originator of the science of astrology.
Yet, special features in a horoscope, known as yogaj born of yoga which means union of two or more, in this case, planets give to a horoscope a new and undiscovered meaning. But many of them are hidden in those manuscripts. Frawley wrote, "Important Western astrologers came to visit Mr. Ingrid Naiman, one of the most prominent Western astrologers particularly in the field of medical astrology received a reading from Mr.
Rao and said that the predictive accuracy of Hindu system as related by Rao had no real counterpart in Western tropical astrology. Reading her chart he was able to tell amazing details of her life, including the characters and features of her parents".
In the same report Dr. In his day long class he showed in detail the psychology operating in the charts of the Nehru family, as he has written in his book on the Nehru Dynasty. Then to see what impact some events in their lives have had on their psyche. More than my reading of the horoscope of Ingrid Naiman it was her fine conversational ability which pleased me so much.
Astrology Lessons KN RAO
In reading her horoscope I started with her childhood and told her that I saw a very well-placed father with technical background and a mother with proficiency and distinction in fine arts.
Totally surprised, she told me that her father was a scientist and her mother an opera singer. Since she did not want me to discuss her horoscope in any article or book, I will only mention some other readings of mine which she liked.
One was that she had a spell of a job in a foreign country. It was India she said. And during that period she had an extraordinary motor car which must have been the envy of many. It stunned her completely. When I met Ingrid again in July she spent two evenings discussing many things, good and bad about the American life, which was sensational in many ways.
If she ever wrote about it, she told me, she would be "bumped off". If Ingrid is such a fine intellectual it is because of her early unbringing under a scientist father and artist mother which, she told me, could never be seen through Western astrology. If such influences cannot be seen by an astrologer how could he ever claim that he could do psychological reading and then, to cap it, counselling?
No American could give me till this day any satisfactory answer. I had another interesting experience when I did on phone the reading of a well-established psychiatrist that he had second wife who was beautiful and perhaps an actress.
Finally when I told him that he could run into serious difficulties because of some unethical practice, he was shocked. It was precisely a difficult eighteen month period. That was counselling and given to a well-established and successful psychiatrist, who could not have known what was awaiting him in future.
A question to which I would need a very clear and specific answer from my American friends. I had the rare advantage of working in my undergraduate days with a woman psychiatrist from Germany when a professor of mine asked me to help her.
I rarely felt satisfied with her results. In retrospect I can say that, because at home I saw my own mother do very good counselling after reading the charts of the persons who came to her, and dividing the remedial measures into very clear categories, as given here.
Cases where the fears had no foundation because the horoscope revealed no need for any worry. Cases where the fears could be overcome by using common sense and by taking precautions in time.
Cases where a little patient waiting would help. Cases where confrontation had better be avoided. Cases where the inevitable should be accepted.
In difficult cases where the inevitability appeared to be imminent or even fatal, she advised remedial spiritual remedies and even used some yantras which she had learnt from classical Brahmins of Andhra Pradesh in her childhood. She never taught them to me because she was instructed by her Brahmin guru not to teach them to anyone. But I saw those very simple measures work very well.
Cases where nothing would work at all. To do it, it takes me many hours of work and not the one hour's guillitone, which people in USA give to their clients. An experienced Hindu astrologer should know that in some cases five minutes will do for counselling and very specific guidance while in other cases it may take many days.
The starting point of this is the examination of the Moon, but that is the starting point only. The psycho-analytical frame in Hindu astrology is very elaborate and exceedingly well defined.
It will take a very large book to explain it. But one must understand why the Moon is the pivotal point in the psychology of a man. In the north Indian style of birth charts if the Moon is a house other than the lagna, two different charts are prepared to do readings, first from the lagna and then from the Moon. In the south Indian chart two charts need not to be prepared but the same scientific approach is adopted.
Why then is so much importance igiven to the Moon must be understoodd. The lagna is the body, and physical body. Six divisional horoscopes are its six limbs, which are — a. Hora which is a two fold division of a horoscope is to be seen for wealth, though it has some other uses also. Dreshkona Drekkana is one third division of a horoscope for finding out mainly about brothers and sisters though it has a wide variety of uses.
Navamsha or the one-ninth division of a horoscope for seeing the subtle, hidden planetary stories but is used mainly for marital and relationship problems. Dwadashamsha or the One-twelfth division is used to know about parents, though it has most extraordinary uses of other kinds also. The Moon is the life-force and 5.
The Sun is the soul. To do astrology without seeing the very great role of the Moon in it is to do autopsy, not astrology, of a horoscope. The great Vedic seers knew all about it and have used the Moon in so many ways that it will need the efforts of a life-time to comprehend them and use them fully.
No astrologer knows the full uses of the Moon in a horoscope. But a sound Hindu astrologer knows the great importance of the Moon and knows that it is the life force of the horoscope. The Approach To understand the role of the Moon in a horoscope, one must first understand broad and general category for the psychological understanding of a personality.
Then understand it again in a less broad but general way by using the birth-star. After that should come the manifold specific influence of the Moon in a horoscope through microscopic views.

For Vrisha Lagna with the Moon: Loves to be spiritual but is negligent of serious studies.

For Kumbha Lagna with the Moon: Has a bad health, earns fame, is courageous but does not get on well with people generally.
For Meena Lagna with the Moon: Is miserly, scheming but scholarly and has the tendency to cheat others of money. There are already now nine modifications. Three Go into the subtle meaning of the birth star in which the Moon is positioned. Five There are subtler uses of the Moon in each horoscope which alone will be around twenty. If even some of these are well understood and applied the entire psycho-analytical structure will open out.
All this cannot be done in one hour or even one day. Six Uttermost caution is to be exercised if the Moon is in the last degrees of Meena or early degrees of Mesha, If in the last degrees of Karka and early degrees of Simha, and if in the last degree of Vrischika and early degrees of Dhanu.
These are known as gandanta areas and have many hidden dangers. How does the Moon reveal your psychology and how I did it in the case of some nonindians is being explained now illustratively. Your Psychology and Moon Illustrations Those astrologers who do not know how to examine the impact of their natal Moon as given in their horoscopes cannot even understand the psychology of an individual.
Some examples, without disclosing full horoscopes, are being given here. While doing their readings, it was I who asked them what I saw and they had not volunteered the information. Answers to the Puzzles Easy and simple, in fact an over-simplistic view of the horoscopes with full details not disclosed in itself is enough to show the importance of the Moon sign.
Example One Position — The Moon is in the eighth house from the lagna and one must wake up It is at twenty-eight degrees and thirty five minutes and if you know Hindu astrology there will be a ring of a bell in your head. But the birth is of shukla paksha bright lunar half and it is night birth.
So there is the safety valve and the inherent danger both. What neither the psychiatrist nor the Western astrologer would be intereseted in is that psychological analysis of a horoscope starts with pre-destination, the karmaphala of past life the results of the deeds of past life which is reflected in the horoscope of the present incarnation of man.
The Portents — From the theory of re-incarnation the next step is to see what all portents are readable and visible. This is done in a very detailed way. From the lunar angle alone a horoscope is analysed in more than twenty ways in Hindu astrology. We will use a technical word here — the Moon is in a vicious gandanta.
Analysis of the Horoscope — To understand the meaning of the portents the first question to be asked is: The answer is, no. The answer is to the mother. See the fourth lord from the lagna, Mars with a powerful Saturn, the sixth lord of disease and the seventh lord of death. Now see it from the Moon The never-failing Hindu way is to examine the fourth house.
Take Moon as Lagna and its lord also from the Moon. Here, the fourth lord from the Moon is Mercury the lord of Mithuna, with the sixth lord, the Sun and the third and the eighth lord, Venus. The third way of seeing it is to treat the fourth house as the lagna, for the mother and examine it again. The fourth lord from Scorpio is Saturn, exalted but in the twelfth house and with the sixth lord Mars.
Finally, remember the planetary friendship — Saturn and Mars are enemies. Thus the fourth lord from the lagna and the fourth lord from the fourth house is with enemy. But the fourth lord from the Moon, is with two friends. The Dasha — The dasha of Mercury is followed by that of seven years of Ketu in the twelfth house aspected by Saturn — a very painful period for his mother because Ketu is in the fifth house of feelings from the Moon representing the mother.
Then comes the period of Venus, the third and the tenth lord form the lagna, combust with the Sun in the fifth house of his own emotions. From the Moon, Venus is the third and the eighth lord with the Sun the sixth lord and with Mercury, the fourth lord from the Moon.
Comes now the sub-period of the Moon in the eighth house representing agony and his mother commits suicide. The Psychological Impact — What should be the psychological impact of it on him, for the rest of his life?
He has seen a woman, in this case his own mother , in moods of depression. How would he react to women in his own life? Now see the seventh lord Saturn with Mars and the meaning is clear.
See the seventh lord from the Moon, and it is combust and is aspected by Saturn. See the seventh lord from Venus. It is Mercury combust and Ketu in the eighth house aspected by Saturn. He has had a two year brief period of married life.
Thus far and no further. Future — How would he shape in future? Counselling — There is very good spiritual promise in the horoscope. Hathayoga should be the starting point and then metaphysical studies.
Yes, he does that. It is specific counselling based on the dasha, which is decided by the birth Moon, which is in a dangerous nakshatra and in dangerous degrees. But the spiritual promise and the inclination to study even astrology and write books, do counselling and sublimate his frustration through music are the definite outlets for pent up frustrations within.
He was satisfied with my reading. It is in its sign of debilitation. See the check-list under "A" Arishta and note that even the lagna has not been spared the influences of two malefics the tenth aspect of Saturn and the eighth aspect of Mars. The Portents — Born in the dasha of Saturn which is exalted it must have given him a good start in life.
Then came the period of Mercury in his own house aspected by Mars the fifth lord and Jupiter giving him various opportunities to learn many subjects, technical, semi-technical and even astrology, as Mercury is the planet for astrology.
Being with Ketu and that too in the twelfth house, his attraction for spiritual practices is visible and predictable. But then will come the period of seven years of Ketu in the twelfth house with the Sun and, and most unfortunately, a retrograde Mercury aspected by Mars from the sixth house.
What was the nature of his illness I had asked him. Yes, I am right. Americans learn Hindu astrology they will do lot of good to their society and in decades to come establish it as the most dependable super-science man has ever known. Analysis of the Horoscope — With the lagna lord being weak, though vargottama and two malefics aspecting the lagna, health is a weak point.
The concentration of planets in the twelfth house with afflicted Ketu aspected by retrograde Mars would not promise hundred percent improvement. Jupiter is there to save the situation. But Venus in the second house is unafflicted.
Yet the second lord, the Sun in the twelfth with Ketu and the aspect of retrograde Mars represents, together with Mercury, both eyes. Counselling — Do not do such work as will strain the eyes more.
The present Venus period is all right. But then will come the period of the Sun in the twelfth. The spiritual promise ahead in years to come is very good. Example Three She breezed into my room gracefully. She seemed to have some old world charm about her, though not old.
In modern American parlance, she must be called young because I, past sixty, was called young by an American woman.
Then the degrees of the Moon show that in navamsha it would get debilitated in Scorpio. Portents — Such weak Moon and so heavily aflicted needed close look.
This Moon, representing mother, is aspected by a retrograde Saturn who is also the mother being the fourth lord. And Saturn the fourth lord both from the lagna and the Moon, is the mother doubly. And Saturn is retrograde.
The Dasha Sequence — After a brief balance of about two years of Mars will come the eighteen years of Rahu. My eyes were glued on the retrograde Saturn, representing her mother, aspecting Venus in her fourth house. And Venus as the eighth lord also could mean something sudden, sensational.
Now put your finger on the fourth house, Makar. The story begins to unfold with some violence hidden. From Makar the seventh lord is the Moon aspected by retrograde Saturn and Mars in the sixth house of aggression.
What happened during Rahu-Saturn in her own house when she was a young girl of nine or ten years? The Psychological Impact — Her own married life must have been disturbed.
There are many classical planetary indications, some of those family secrets which some Indian astrologers use are present. Did she develop distrust in the sincerity of male lover?
She then told me the stories of her marriage. Counselling — She is passing through the dasha of Saturn, the best a Tula ascendant can get. What about debilitated Saturn?
[Lonely Planet] Nepal Travel Guide 10e 2015
Now notice two features first, Saturn in the seventh has directional strength and Venus in the fourth also has directional strength.
The next dasha will be of Mercury, the ninth lord with the eleventh lord, the Sun, in the second house aspected by Jupiter. The prosperity that Venus in the fourth promises, is reinforced. There is Jupiter in the eighth house both form the lagna and the Moon. She will need to look after her health in Saturn-Jupiter.
But Jupiter in the eighth house has its positive side. Genuine interest in yoga, with regularity will help her. She told me that she had already been doing it and very sincerely. In the next period of Mercury, her ninth and twelfth lord, her own spiritual interests, starting with yoga will be deeper.
I made use of my knowledge of spiritual astrology by looking into many other details. She deserved such counselling. Years ago, when I had heard the word aerobics I thought it was some new crazy things Americans must have started doing in the space. An Americanised Indian lady removed my ignorance and told me that aerobics is what women do on the ground to improve their physique and those who do it walk very smartly, I was told.
When she was leaving I told her, "do yoga, not aerobics". In the USA, the client who comes to consult you is not well informed about the importance of birth with the craziest ever corrections involving so many time zones. You can never be sure that the so-called correct horoscope given to you has all the necessary corrections carried out properly.
The time-zone apart, the differing dates of daylight changes are crazier. About five horoscopes given to me at two stations in USA misled me into wrong reading which was not my fault at all. To what extent the US astrologers, particularly, are aware of the most fantastic crazy time corrections required is what they should know. There may be very good and valid resons for Western astrologers doing more counselling than predictions.
But those of the Hindu astrologers of USA as have decided to do mainly counselling without understanding the extraordinary timetested techniques of predictions, cannot afford to be imitative. They have to evolve their own style which they can do. I have said all this because I remember most gratefully TS who told me something valuable.
I was doing the reading of a lady born on October 5, and TS sat with her, after getting her permission, as he had done earlier also in one case in which my readings had come out very well.
This lady felt very unhappy with me and told me that I was getting many things wrong. TS came to my rescue.
He told me that in USA there was also war-time correction to be done in the case of those who were born during the second world war. I thanked TS and told this lady that I could not proceed with my readings. Next, TS asked me what was the degree of his lagna according to the horoscope given to me.
I told him that it was more than eighteen degrees in Vrishchika. He told me that after war-time correction it could not even be seven degrees.
He himself brought his correct horoscope a day later and I did readings which pleased him. He is himself a sound Western astrologer.
TS is one of the few astrologers I met in USA who wanted to understand the profundity and the reasoning in Hindu astrology, without which any type of counselling is shaky. Reading his horoscope I asked him how in period he had come into some sudden windfall gains financially. He said that he had asked me to give the astrological reason.
I told him that Saturn, his fourth lord represented a trust and his lagna lord, Mars in the second house aspected by Jupiter and the Moon from the eighth house was the reason for monetary gains. So it is in USA. Some of those fine patterns of gentleman you meet with are so keenly appreciative of Hindu astrology with an open mind.
