There were breaks in his studies at the college graduation level. He got his first job in indoor sales in November 2000. His career improved in the year 2005 and reached his peak in 07.He completed MBA in the year 2006.

In year ending September after separation from a woman in his life he underwent depression, fears, loss of energy, heavy breathing, and low platelets which was a complete traumatic stage for him.

His problems were ignored and dismissed by his family. His health left him debilitated and caused death like suffering.

His present health is improving and he is under medication. He suffers from chronic somatization disorder related to stress and gives real, chronic pain.

Authentication of the natives chart

The breaks in his education was caused by a weak sun which is at 27 degrees cancer in the second house which gives lack of intelligence, poor perception it creates weakness of will and character. It creates lack of endurance, low vitality, melancholy, fear, dependency or servitude, and deviousness or dishonesty.

Sun rules he heart, blood through veins, vision and eyesight. The heart is the organ of intelligence that regulates life, breathing, aspiration and perception.

The 5th lord Venus is 12th from itself placed in the 4th house with rahu which caused a break in education due to bad company

The moon being placed in 6th house causes health concerns reducing vitality, being debilitated in the sign of Scorpio causing concerns related to blood formation.

A badly placed moon shows personality disorders, difficulty in relating to others and emotional disturbances.

A badly placed can give wrong imaginings, hallucinations, and psychological turbulences. It creates lunacy as our language reflects.

A badly placed moon shows bad hereditary, poor family background, bad education and other traumas to the emotional nature.

The moon shows our capacity to receive and to be affected, but it also indicates our capacity to get hurt.
Mars being placed in the 4th house causing makes him of a strong and well-built with a difference of opinions with his family members. The native became breathless in a car and suffered chest pain as a result of chain smoking. The native has problems with his mother and was beaten a lot as a child which gives difficulty in maintaining relationships.

11th house in the chart is Aries ruled by Mars governs elder sister. The third house in the chart is Leo is ruled by the Sun and governs younger siblings. Both Mars and the presence of Saturn and mercury female in the third house, hence the person has both younger and elder siblings.

He got his first job during Venus/rahu dasa, Venus being lord of the 5th and 12th house and rahu being along with it placed in the 4th house gave him an indoor job.

In the year 2002 in the same dasa he got a job in a well-known company involved in the distribution of chocolates.

In the Venus Jupiter dasha he joined and MBA course in a prestigious Australian university based in
Dubai. Jupiter being the 7th and the 10th lord as his father is an IIM (A).

Rahu makes a person overextend himself; the native did and had problems with his seniors until he reached an executive position in 05. The MBA course did put a strain on his father’s pocket.

In the Venus / Saturn dasa he completed his MBA with all trials and tribunals put in his way while he was working simultaneously. The presence of Mars-Rahu-Venus, mars ruling the 11th house of desires and 6th house disease and obstacles proved benefic and malefic.

The breaks in education caused women to believe he should be married or head of the family by now, this happened during Venus/rahu and the women were well placed and exerted more clout.

In his Venus/Saturn/moon dasa he landed with a good job and a high paying one, moon ruling the 2nd house, in the next pratyantar dasa of rahu which was a Venus/sat/rahu dasa the person had to give up his job due to stress, bad health, his friends and relation left him, he lost heart and mental health while suffering trauma of braking up with his girlfriend whom he had been dating for the past one and a half year.

As the 5th lord of higher education Venus being yoga karaka and the 11th house of fulfillment of desires mars are placed together in the native managed to complete his higher education.

The 7th house being 6th from the second house where the natal sun is placed led to rapid deterioration of his health.

The Venus / Mercury dasa made him take him some educational courses which he wasn’t able to complete.

His Venus/ketu dasa helped his file come up for migration which his father had applied for , as soon as his father became a citizen, the native being his unmarried son was able to transfer his status from a visa to a permanent resident.

Ketu being placed in the 10th house enhanced his status.

*Planet strength by method A is shad Bal and method B is Vimsopaka Bal and method C is Ashtakabaraga.

By method A, SB or Shad Bal can be maximum 2. This measure of strength tells us the relative impact of planets in our life irrespective or its nature (good or bad)

By method B, VB or Vimsopaka Bal can be maximum 20 and minimum 0. This also gives the overall beneficial nature of the planet in our life particularly in its period and sub period operating.

By method C, AB or Ashtakabarga can be maximum 8 and minimum 0. At 8 the planet is totally auspicious and beneficial on our life. At 0, the planet is totally inauspicious in our life.

Ashtakabarga strength gives us a more definitive indication of how the planet will behave in its transit and in its association with other planets in the chart.

Overall net scores obtained for individual planets with respect to different status of each planet in the chart summarized in Table A, as well as each planet is tested for retrograde status, Vargottama status, combust status and whether the planet is hemmed between benefic planets or malefic planets.

It has been also tested for whether the planet is receiving a beneficial aspect for other planets in the chart.

The last column indicates the overall Net score of each planet in the chart. The overall net score helps us to make the final judgment about each other planet in our chart.

Their auspicious and inauspicious nature and what will be the extent of their impact in our life. This also helps us to formulate and recommend specific astrological remedies.

Comments of planet Score

The methodology that we have given above in deciding the points to be attributed for different status of each planet is not sacrosanct.

Relative weight has been given for each good and bad parameters of the planet. The calculation which has worked the report makes it easy to calculate.

But it is necessary for the astrologer to make the final judgment about each planet in the chart by looking at the points and the specific chart as well as based on the inputs received from the person. I shall now provide my final judgment about each planet in the ordinary chart.


Sun:
The sun being in a water sign is giving mixed results. A good VB and SB help the native to acquire good qualities from his educated family.

Moon:

The moon having good ashta varga gives the natives good jobs but the moons challenging status makes him leave jobs. Stress also causes health problems

Mars:

Mars gives mixed results, does cause him to get angry and loose strength by using excessive muscle power. It causes problems in love life being manglik.

Mercury:

Mercury’s excellent status helps him obtain good education, being retrograde the native is determined, the native has sales skills and a pleasing personality. Mercury being the Lagna lord and 4th Lord being placed in the 3rd house with 8th and 9th lord Saturn gives him courage, Spirituality and good fortune.

Jupiter:

Jupiter’s outstanding status as result of being exalted vargottama provides the resources necessary, however suffering from kendradipati dosa the person remains in happy places.

Venus:

Venus is extremely challenging, as a result he person is not married till now and doesn’t bear kids. Relationships are difficult due to issues with mother being beaten as a child. Venus being hemmed between Malefics causes problems related to women and blame. However being the 5th lord and having directional strength in the 4th house which gives shada bala strength

Saturn:

Saturn would give mixed results as a result of lordships of 8th and 9th house.

Rahu:

Rahu would be responsible for spiritual development of the person.

Ketu:

Ketu status being moolatrikona would act like mars for career and would also help in visits to holy shrines.

1.5) House Table:

A house is influenced by the planet that is located in the house, and the planet which is the Lord of that house and also the planets which aspect the house. Further each house has a planet, which is its natural signifier. All these factors finally contribute to the strength of each house in the chart.

1.6) Different Aspects of life and the natal promise

Physical characteristics:

Physical characteristics are primarily dependent the Ascendant characteristics in birth chart. However the Moon – sign as well as Zodiac Sun-sign will also have influence as well as planets located or aspecting the ascendant.

His ascendant sign is Gemini, it’s a dual as well as air sign ruled by Mercury. He will have a tall stature. He should be stocky and have a round face. His features would not be sharp or angular. He will have an attractive personality for mercury is placed with Saturn in the sign of Leo. Jupiter placed in his second house exalted makes him obese.

Mental Characteristics:

Being a dual sign he is not limited to the body and senses, they are ethereal and for them both mind and body exist. They don’t have nurturing or organizing capabilities like fixed signs or action abilities like that of cardinal signs. They have much greater power of analysis and synthesis. Intellect or application of intelligence and knowledge and wisdom are their forte.
They have good intellect, excellent power of speech and communication and good command over language. Yogakarka Venus makes him extremely romantic, emotional and sentimental. Mercury along with natural malefic Saturn makes him courageous in a good way.

Profession and Core Competence:

10th house is the house of profession in the horoscope in his ascendant chart. The 10th house Pisces which is ruled by Jupiter. Ketu is placed in the 10th house. Mars, Venus and Rahu aspect the 10th house. The 10th lord Jupiter is exalted in the navamsa in cancer. Jupiter the planet located in the 2nd house which is the house of wealth in Bhav or chalit chart is located in the Ascendant. Mercury in the navamsa is located in the 4th house. Venus being in mercury’s sign in the Birth chart as well as mercury being in Venus sign in the navamsa makes the person good in sales. The native has been in Fmcg as well as property sales. The native’s logical and analytical ability is high which makes him good at numbers. Jupiter would probably lead him towards a career in the field of medicine. Ketu made the native try his hand in exports. Venus being 12th lord and aspecting 10th house always made him challenge the authority of women in the workplace in today’s modern world. A successful sales and marketing career looks promising fir the individual with his powerful communication skills. The native would identify his true vocation in this new country and will excel in applying technology to traditional business or profession.

Money Property and Income:

For this we will analyze both the 2nd house and 11th house primarily as well as the 5th house, and whether there is any Dhana yoga in the chart or not or the opposite yoga for destruction of wealth. If we analyze this chart, in his house table you will observe that both second and 11th house in his chart are strong and powerful. Further lord of the 2nd house moon is placed in the 6th house debilitated which means the wealth would enhance slowly as 6th house is an upchaya house. The 11th house lord Mars is placed with the 5th lord Venus in the 4th house which constitutes a strong Dhana yoga. But there are opposites also, if you observe the position of the sun, it is placed in the 2nd house of wealth aspecting the 8th house. This can lead to several interpretations. 8th house lord Saturn with lagna lord mercury which is the dispositor of the Mars-Venus Dhana yoga, he can gain wealth from unexpected sources, like inheritance, lottery and stock market. It can also mean he can earn wealth through occult subjects like astrology etc. The reverse is also possible that whatever wealth he accumulates will get destroyed and he will not be retaining any wealth or property in his life. The person gained a lot of wealth and luck due to women but squandered it on extravagance. The native is supported by a supportive father and mother.

Romance and Married Life:

5th house in chart signifies Romance life. The house table indicates 5th house is good. 5th house is weak in one sense so far as ashtabarga (0) and bhavabal is concerned. But its lord is severely affected by the conjunction of Mars and Rahu. 11th lord Mars and 5th lord Venus are in yudhabala. Rahu and Mars combination will give him many relationships with the opposite sex, but they may not be ‘rightful relationship’. He may have many one-night stands, immoral and amoral relationship which will not necessarily lead to peace and happiness in life. These will eventually lead to divorce and separation in life.
As per his house table, it indicates that 7th house will be difficult house in his life, as ashtabarga strength is good and weak bhavabal. The 7th lord is exalted which indicates multiple relationships. His Girlfriend was very stubborn and caused him to be subservient which caused him stress, him leaving his job and the relationship breaking up.

Parents and siblings:

From the birth chart what you can indicate is the general relationship and how their influence will be in your life. For specific core cat about them, you have to consult their individual birth charts.
The 4th house in the chart indicates mother, motherland, your mental peace etc. in this chart, the 4th house is challenging. What you can say about his relationship with his mother will be challenging. His moon is located in a water sign of Scorpio, his mother is nurturing yet he has unresolved issues with mother as a result of him being beaten in childhood, yet he is considered a mama’s boy.
For father we usually we examine the 9th house in the chart. His 9th house is Aquarius whose lord is Saturn, placed in the 3rd house aspecting its moolatrikona Aquarius. Aquarius is the natural 11th house; his father helps fulfill all his desires. He also has a guru who teaches him meditation and the kundalini vidya. He has a good relationship with his father and a tough relationship with his guru and teachers as Jupiter the karaka for teachers is an exalted badhak.On the brighter side his guru made him tough and increased his endurance, resistance and immunity towards the world. He taught him there is no right or wrong in life, what may be right for someone may be wrong for another.



Progeny:

Progeny relationship and happiness is analyzed from them 5th house. The 5th house in his chart is good. The lord of the 5th house is combined with Mars and Rahu. This conjunction is good for non-life things like dhanayoga, career etc. he will be very supportive as far as material requirements for his children is concerned. But when it comes to emotional bonding, you can safely forecast that his relation with his first child will not be close at all. When it comes to the second child for which we will also have to analyze the 7th house. Because the 7th house is 3rd from the 5th house, which is then the house of sibling for the first child, is challenging in his chart. His second child will be a cause of lot of concern as far as he is concerned. Again specific forecast about them has to make from their individual chart. Again the placement of Rahu and Mars with the 5th lord along with Venus indicates not many children. There may be both a son and a daughter, due to the placement if a strong mars. There will be one daughter due to placement of favorable Rahu with Venus.

Heath and longevity:

Health has to be determined by strength of the 1st house, the lord of the ascendant and also the aspects of planets on 7th house. From the house strength of his first house, we see it is most challenging. The shadbal of the lord of the Ascendant Mercury is mixed. 1st house receives no aspects. The ascendant lord is placed in the 3rd house with Saturn gave him some illness related to breathing, voice, he got spasms and ceseasures. As a result of lack of drinking water, he became fatigued probably causing irregular functioning of the kidneys and liver.

To summarize we can say that the person would have chronic health problems in his life. The vimsopak bal of the 1st house being good and the shada bala of the 6th house lord Mars being ok the person would recover steadily and overcome obstacles with the help of medical treatment.

1.7) longevity calculations

There are several methods to calculate longevity. Remember Vedic astrology gives us excellent quantitative tools for calculation. The most reliable of them is the Jaimini method. For this you not only need to know the lagna chart but you must also have the hora lagna. Hora lagna is the ascendant rising at the time of sunrise on the date and place of his birth.

I will now give you the basis of jaimini method of Longevity calculation.

Find out:

i) Location of Lagnesh

ii) Location of 8th lord

iii) Sign occupied by moon

iv) Ascendant sign

v) Hora lagna

See their placement in signs. The following table indicates life span:

A Lord of lagna in Lord of 8th in Life span

a Movable sign Movable sign
Common sign Fixed sign Long
Fixed sign Common sign

b Movable sign Fixed sign

b Common sign Common sign

Medium

c Fixed sign Fixed sign
Movable sign Common sign
Short
Common sign Movable sign



Note:
a) The same result arrived at by any two of the A,B, C charts shall be conclusive

b) If the results in all the three are different, the result shown by ‘C’ shall prevail; but if moon is posited in either lagna or 7th the result indicate by B prevails.

c) If Jupiter is in lagna or 7th, unaspected by malefics, short life result may be increased to medium and medium to long life.

Short life is alpayu up to 45 years, Medium life is madhayu upto 75 years and long life is poornayu, which goes beyond 80 years

Now coming back to his chart:

A) Lord of the Ascendant Mercury is in Leo, which is Fixed sign. Lord of the 8th house Saturn is in Leo which is also a fixed sign.

The conclusion is “Short life Span” by procedure A

B) Ascendant sign is Gemini, which is a Common sign. Moon-Sign is Scorpio which is also a Common Sign.

The conclusion is Medium life Span

C) The Ascendant sign is Gemini, which is Common sign. The Hora lagna in his chart is Taurus, which is a Fixed sign.

The conclusion is Long life Span.
Since all three methods show different results, method C will be taken into account and the conclusion is Long life Span.

Hence longevity as per his natal promise is long life span or purnayu, this in today’s medical concept goes beyond 80 years.

Now he is 34 years of age and if we want to fine tune this conclusion we must look at the Maraka dasha of the planet. Mark means fatal, and Marak Dasha is fatal Dasha as per Dasha table.

For Gemini ascendant the fatal planets are Jupiter, Mars.


2nd house and 7th house are supposed to be Marak houses in the chart. 2nd house is 7th house from the 8th house and 7th house is 7th from the first house.

Now 8th house is the hour of longevity. The 8th from 8th house, which is 3rd house, is house of longevity as per Bhabatwa Bhawam principle explained earlier.

2nd house is 12th from the 3rd hence it is Marak house. 12th house is house of loss and it signifies the destruction of the 3rd house.

Similarly 7th house is 12th house from 8th house, the house of longevity, hence it is Marak House.

Lord of 2nd house and Lord of 7th are therefore Marak planets and their periods/sub-periods are Maraka periods.

Similarly planets located in the 2nd house and the 8th house will also attain Marak qualifications specially the two nodes of Rahu and

Apart from these, 12th house lord is also a marak planet because 12th house is 12th from 1st signifying a person’s life in general.in some cases 6th house lord will also have Maraka status because 6th house is house of diseases and obstacles.

Now in ordinary persons chart the ascendant being Gemini, Jupiter and Mars are considered to be strong Maraka planets.

Now Maraka dasha has to be defined after the life span has been decided. A person may experience Marak dasha as per his chart at an early age but if the life span is more, then that dasha cannot be his Maraka Dasha.

In our case, no doubt Jupiter will be the last Dasha in the person’s life. His life span is long and it can be anywhere beyond 80 years of age as per todays norm.

Now if we examine his dasha system, he is presently experiencing main period of Venus and sub period of Ketu. The next maha dasha will be of the sun starting August 2012. He will be 34 years of age. We couldn’t consider that as a Maraka Dasha for him.

However one must calculate longevity for any chart, but whether we should mention it or not will depend whether your client is insisting to know the same or not and also whether he / she is mentally strong and prepared to accept the information as per astrologers judgment.

Because the fundamental ethics of an astrologer is to give hope and positive messages to his client and not to pronounce death sentences or to display his knowledge.

If you see that a person Marak dasha is imminent, you should caution him about his health and also advise him to complete his tasks, duties, and responsibilities to the best of your knowledge.


1.8) Jupiter exaltation

Luck is in abundance in your life. Your career will be blesses with fame and success. Success in all you endeavors will be natural as well as fame, honour and wealth. You will have good eyesight and hearing power. Success would come your way in foreign land.

1.10) Some natal karmic indicators as per ashtabarga chart

These indicators should be considered as indicative only and not definitive. Definitive conclusions can only be given when all factors are included along with Dasha Vichar in the Chart:

Best part if your life:

As per Vedic astrology your ascendant is: Gemini

According to the analysis of your chart the Middle phase of your life will be the best phase of your life. During this phase you will enjoy your days and will gain happiness from different areas of your life.

According to the analysis of your chart the First and Final phase of your life will be Okay and will have normal ups and downs. During this phase you will enjoy your life but may also face some obstacles. These problems may be related to different aspects of your life.

Best Direction in his Life

According to the analysis of your chart the direction East, South would be most beneficial for you to pursue your vocation or take any opportunity that knocks the door of your destiny.
According to the analysis of your chart the direction North would be most challenging for you. So, it is best to avoid this direction. Your effort in this direction may not provide you fruitful result.

Effort to Reward ratio in his chart:
There are 3 kinds of people in this world.
