Gandmool Dosh

According to its prevalent definition; if in a horoscope, Moon is placed in Ashwini, Ashlesha, Magha, Jyeshtha, Moola or Revati nakshatra, Gandmool Dosh is formed in such horoscope. Formation of Gandmool Dosh is associated with troublesome results including death of native’s mother or father; and native’s own death in some cases.

Let’s look into the formation of Gandmool Dosh. The playground for all astrological entities is taken as circular; which includes movement within a range of 360 degrees. This playground is further divided into 12 zones which are called zodiac signs and each zone or zodiac sign owns 30 degrees. These zodiac signs keep appearing on the sky of a particular location, one after another, in cyclic motion. While one of these signs takes lead at a time; the others assume different positions or angles, according to a fixed pattern.

This way, each sign gets to be the leader for about two hours and a cycle is completed in about 24 hours. The sign which appears as the leader on the sky of a particular place at the time of birth of a native; represents the first house of his horoscope. Hence this sign becomes his ascendant or Lagna. Horoscopes are also divided into twelve houses with each house enclosing 30 degrees, just like signs. If Aries is the rising sign at the time of birth of a native, it is assigned to the first house, which means Aries becomes the ascendant in such horoscope.

The next sign Taurus is assigned to the second house and this process goes on, completing at the twelfth house being assigned to the twelfth sign Pisces. If the second sign Taurus is leading the equation at the time of birth of a native; Taurus becomes his ascendant. The third sign Gemini represents the second house, the twelfth sign Pisces represents the eleventh house and the first sign Aries represents the twelfth house.

At any given point in time, each planet among navagraha transits through a zodiac sign. The movement of these planets also happens to be cyclic, which means each planet among navagraha except Rahu and Ketu, generally moves from Aries to Pisces and then repeats this movement, based on its speed of movement. Rahu and Ketu move in retrograde motion, from Pisces to Aries and they also follow the same cyclic pattern. Once the sign representing the ascendant as well as those representing the other houses of a horoscope are found, the planets are assigned to various houses; according to their transits in various signs at that time.

This is the bigger setup and there is a finer setup which works within this bigger setup. This finer setup is used to calculate finer results and this setup is represented by nakshatras. According to this finer setup, the playground is further divided into 27 sub zones called nakshatras, with each one of them claiming 13 degrees and 20 minutes; amounting to a total of 360 degrees.

Each subzone further contains 4 finer zones called four parts or padas of a nakshatra, with each one of them claiming 3 degrees and 20 minutes. This way, the playground is divided into 108 finer divisions, with 4 divisions for each one of 27 nakshatras. These 108 finer divisions once again add up to 360 degrees.

Since each sign contains 30 degrees, it means it contains 9 out of such 108 finer divisions called navamshas. The word navamsha literally means the ninth part of something, which in this context means the ninth part of a sign. Nine multiplied by 3 degrees and 20 minutes gives 30 degrees and 108 multiplied by 3 degrees and 20 minutes gives 360 degrees; which solves the equation perfectly.

The first nakshatra Ashwini is aligned with the first sign Aries and all four quarters of Ashwini fall in Aries. The navamshas corresponding to these quarters are Aries, Taurus, Gemini and Cancer. All four quarters of the next nakshatra Bharani also fall in Aries whereas only the first quarter of the third nakshatra Krittika falls in Aries, since a sign can only accommodate nine quarters of various nakshatras. Navamshas corresponding to these five quarters are Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio and Sagittarius respectively. The next three quarters of Krittika fall in the second sign Taurus, all four quarters of the fourth nakshatra Rohini fall in Taurus, two quarters of the fifth nakshatra Mrigashira fall in Taurus and the remaining two fall in Gemini. Navamshas for Krittika nakshatra are Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces. The cycle starts again, with Aries being the navamsha for first quarter of Rohini.

Moving on, all four quarters of Ardra nakshatra fall in Gemini, three quarters of Punarvasu nakshatra fall in Gemini, one quarter of Punarvasu falls in Cancer, all four quarters of Pushya nakshatra fall in Cancer and all four quarters of the ninth nakshatra Ashlesha fall in Cancer.

It can be seen that with the end of Ashlesha, the sign of Cancer also ends. This is where we reach the end of a sub-cycle within this bigger cycle of 360 degrees. Hence the next nine nakshatras ranging from Magha to Jyeshtha fit into the next four signs ranging from Leo to Scorpio, in the same way. Similarly, the last nine nakshatras ranging from Moola to Revati fit into the last four signs ranging from Sagittarius to Pisces. This way, all 27 nakshatras fit into 12 signs and they complete one cycle at the same point which is the completion of 360^th degree. The process repeats itself after that, with the appearance of Ashwini nakshatra and Aries sign.

Moon completes its transit through one nakshatra in about a day’s time. It means Moon travels a distance of about 13 degrees and 20 minutes in one day, thereby taking about 28 days to complete 360 degrees. During its motion, a point comes when Moon reaches 13 degrees and 20 minutes counting from 0^th degree of Aries; and it is about to enter into the next minute which is 13 degrees and 21^st minute. Since these co-ordinates mark the end of Ashwini nakshatra and they mark the beginning of Bharani nakshatra within the sign of Aries, an important point is reached.

During this transition of Moon from Ashwini to Bharani, a phase comes where Moon is partly in Ashwini and partly in Bharani, as this motion is progressive and continuous. Imagine you’re moving from one room to another. Before you leave one room and you enter into the other room, a point comes when you have one step in the first room and the other step in another room. This point in time may give the impression that you are partly present in both rooms and you may not be fully present in any one of the rooms. This is because your body partly lies in the first room and it partly lies in the second room.

The motion of humans is much faster compared to the motion of planets, but both of them follow the same pattern. It means Moon as well as the other eighth planets also reach such points during their journeys through 27 nakshatras, when they are about to leave one nakshatra and they are about to enter the next nakshatra. Though in theory, these planets are shown present in any one of these nakshatras like in Ashwini or in Bharani, this may not be so in actual practice. Hence these planets may reach 27 such points during their journeys, where they are in between two nakshatras, partly in one and partly in the next nakshatra.

Among all nine planets; Moon is the fastest moving, the most impressionable as well as the most fragile planet. It means though most other planets may not take much unwanted impression during such 27 points of transition, Moon may take these impressions and as a result, it may feel some disturbances. However, these incidences alone may not be capable of causing significant problems related to significances of Moon.

Moving on, a point comes at the completion of 30 degrees when Moon is about to leave the sign of Aries and it is about to enter the sign of Taurus. The same issue appears again as Moon may get stuck between Aries and Taurus for some time and it may take unwanted impression of this transition. However, even these transitions may not cause significant problems on their own, in most cases.

During its transit through 12 signs and 27 nakshatras, each planet reaches 3 such points where it faces double impact of transition. It means when Moon is about to leave Cancer and it is about to enter Leo, another transition is happening at the same time. Moon is also leaving Ashlesha and it is entering Magha. This is because the ending point of Ashlesha coincides with the ending point of Cancer and the beginning point of Magha coincides with the starting point of Leo. This is where Moon is stuck between two transitions at the same time; which means Moon is stuck between two nakshatras as well as between two signs for some time.

Though this happens to each planet among navagraha, all other planets may not be significantly affected by this situation as they may be capable of handling such situations. However, Moon being the most impressionable and fragile planet may not be able to properly deal with one such situation; and it may get hurt. As a result, the general as well as specific significances of Moon may suffer in the horoscope having Moon under such double impact. This is when Gandmool Dosh may be formed and the native may suffer from various types of problems related to significances of Moon.

Moving on, the same double impact is witnessed at the end of the sign of Scorpio where Jyeshtha nakshatra also ends. The beginning point of the next sign Sagittarius coincides with the beginning point of the next nakshatra Moola. Moon comes under the double impact whenever it enters this zone during its transitory motion; and Gandmool Dosh is formed. Similarly, Moon experiences this double impact when it is at the end of Pisces and it is about to enter Aries. The ending point of Pisces coincides with the ending point of the last nakshatra Revati and the beginning point of Aries coincides with the beginning point of first nakshatra Ashwini. Here again, Gandmool Dosh is formed due to Moon being under double impact of such transitions.

Therefore, during its journey of 360 degrees, Moon reaches three such phases where it comes under such double impact and these are the phases where Moon forms Gandmool Dosh. As these phases are enclosed between Revati-Ashwini, Ashlesha-Magha and Jyeshtha-Moola; these 6 nakshatras are called Gandmool nakshatras. Hence placement of Moon in any one of these six Gandmool nakshatras is said to form Gandmool Dosh in a horoscope.

However, placement of Moon in one of these six Gandmool nakshatras is the primary condition for the formation of Gandmool Dosh in a horoscope, and it is not the only condition. Moon comes under such double impact only when it reaches such double transitory phases.

It means that the first 3 quarters of the last nakshatra Revati may not cause this double impact since Moon is very much within the sign of Pisces and it is not about to leave Pisces as well as Revati. The problem however begins, when Moon enters the fourth quarter of Revati nakshatra as this is the point when Moon may enter the phase of double impact any time. Hence, only the fourth quarter of Revati nakshatra should be considered for the formation of Gandmool Dosh and the first three quarters should be ignored.

Similarly, the first quarter of the next nakshatra Ashwini should be considered for the formation of Gandmool Dosh and the last three quarters of this nakshatra should be ignored. This is because, once Moon travels through the first quarter of Ashwini, it may recover from the double impact and by the time it enters the second quarter of Ashwini, it may fully recover from the double impact. In this case, Moon comes under such double impact during the last 3 degrees of Pisces or Revati and the first 3 degrees of Aries or Ashwini; which respectively mark the last phase of Pisces and the first phase of Aries.

On the other hand, when Moon is placed in the first quarter of Revati, it is almost between 17 to 20 degrees within the sign of Pisces which features 30 degrees like all other signs. Since 17 to 20 is almost the middle zone between 0 and 30; Moon may not come under double impact. Likewise, when Moon is placed in the last quarter of Ashwini; it is almost between 10 and 13 degrees within the sign of Aries. Here again, Moon is in the middle zone and no double impact may be found. It means the placements of Moon only in the last quarter of Revati and the first quarter of Ashwini should be considered for the formation of Gandmool Dosh; in case of Revati-Ashwini combination.

Similarly, only the fourth quarters of Ashlesha and Jyeshtha should be considered for the formation of Gandmool Dosh; and only the first quarters of Magha and Moola should be considered for the formation of Gandmool Dosh. The remaining quarters of these nakshatras should be ignored on the basis of the aforementioned explanation.

Therefore, Gandmool Dosh is formed in a horoscope, if Moon is placed in any one of the following:

4^th Pada or Quarter of Revati nakshatra.

1^st Pada or Quarter of Ashwini nakshatra.

4^th Pada or Quarter of Ashlesha nakshatra.

1^st Pada or Quarter of Magha nakshatra.

4^th Pada or Quarter of Jyeshtha nakshatra.

1^st Pada or Quarter of Moola nakshatra.

Once the formation of Gandmool Dosh is confirmed, next things to check are its strength and field of impact. When it comes to check strength of Gandmool Dosh, the primary factor is closeness of Moon to the points of transition. For example, Moon in Jyeshtha-Moola forms Gandmool Dosh between 27 degrees of Scorpio and 3 degrees of Sagittarius. At 27^th degree of Scorpio as well as at 3^rd degree of Sagittarius; Gandmool Dosh may be weak. At 28^th degree of Scorpio and at 2^nd degree of Sagittarius; Gandmool Dosh may be strong. At 29^th degree of Scorpio and at 1^st degree of Sagittarius; Gandmool Dosh may be even stronger. Between 29^th degree of Scorpio and 1^st degree of Sagittarius; Gandmool Dosh may be even stronger. The strongest impact may be felt closer to 30^th degree of Scorpio and 0^th degree of Sagittarius. The same concept holds in case of Revati-Ashwini and Ashlesha-Magha type of formation for this defect.

After this, the overall strength of Moon in a horoscope is checked as this factor can change the results of Gandmool Dosh. For example, formation of Gandmool Dosh in Ashlesha may prove less troublesome compared to the formation of this defect in Jyeshtha. This is because Moon is placed in Cancer when it transits through Ashlesha. Since Cancer is ruled by Moon, it is strong in this sign. Hence it may be in better position to handle such double impact called Gandmool Dosh.

On the other hand, Moon is placed in Scorpio when it transits through Jyeshtha. Since Moon is debilitated in Scorpio, it may not be capable of properly handling such Gandmool Dosh; and hence it may receive more damage. Similarly, placements of Moon in certain specific houses of horoscope may increase or decrease the capacity of Moon to deal with Gandmool Dosh, thereby changing the net results given by Gandmool Dosh.

Another factor which carries importance in case of Gandmool Dosh is the functional nature of Moon in one such horoscope. It should be noted that Gandmool Dosh is different from most other defects in this regard. Whereas it may be essential for the planets involved in the formation of negative Yogas to be malefic, it is not so in case of Gandmool Dosh. Gandmool Dosh is one of the rarest yogas in Vedic astrology, where the functional nature of the planet involved is not an essential factor. For example, only malefic Mars may form Manglik Dosh and only malefic Rahu as well as Ketu may form Kaal Sarp Yog. However, even benefic Moon may form Gandmool Dosh. Hence this defect is unique in this way.

However, Gandmool Dosh formed when Moon is benefic may be far less troublesome than Gandmool Dosh formed when Moon is malefic in a horoscope. This is because malefic Moon may add more negative energy to Gandmool Dosh whereas benefic Moon may counteract a part of the negative energy generated by Gandmool Dosh, thereby reducing the damage caused by it. Hence functional nature of Moon should be checked in order to assess the strength of Gandmool Dosh in a horoscope.

The impact of other benefic and malefic planets on Moon should also be checked properly as this factor can also make significant changes to the net results of Gandmool Dosh. For example, if Gandmool Dosh is formed due to placement of benefic Moon in the fourth quarter of Revati nakshatra, presence of benefic Jupiter in Pisces along with Moon may provide extra strength to Moon. This combination may also form Gaj Kesari Yoga. As a result, the damage caused by Gandmool Dosh may reduce and the native may not suffer much due to this defect.

On the other hand, if Gandmool Dosh is formed due to placement of Moon in the fourth quarter of Revati nakshatra, placement of malefic exalted Ketu in Pisces may intensify the problem. This is because malefic Ketu may form Grahan Yoga by afflicting Moon. Hence the native may suffer even more due to combined malefic influence of Gandmool Dosh and Grahan Yoga.

Coming to the next factor, the overall theme of horoscope having Gandmool Dosh should also be studied carefully, as this factor alone can change each and everything. For example, if Gandmool Dosh is formed in a horoscope due to placement of benefic Moon in one of the Gandmool nakshatras and the overall theme of horoscope is strong and positive, the native may not face problems of high quantum. This is because the overall strong and positive horoscope of the native may provide him with sufficient strength to deal with the negative energy generated by Gandmool Dosh.

On the other hand, an overall negative or a weak horoscope may become a cause of concern for the native having Gandmool Dosh in his horoscope; as he may receive no support from his horoscope. Hence the negative energy generated by Gandmool Dosh may trouble him a lot.

The field of impact of Gandmool Dosh should also be checked as this factor also carries importance. Though the general significances of Moon remain the same in every horoscope, the specific significances may change and this factor may change the results of Gandmool Dosh. For example, if Moon represents the seventh house in a horoscope, formation of Gandmool Dosh may affect the marriage of the native. If Moon represents the fifth house in a horoscope, formation of Gandmool Dosh may trouble the native with problems related to children. Similarly, formation of Gandmool Dosh may trouble the native on account of professional problems, if Moon represents the tenth house in his horoscope. The house of placement of Moon is also important to assess field of impact of Gandmool Dosh and this factor becomes even more important if Moon is malefic.

After this, the impact of running times (Mahadashas or planetary periods) should also be studied as this factor may have significant effect on Gandmool Dosh. If benefic, strong and well placed Moon forms Gandmool Dosh in a horoscope; the problems may reduce during Moon Mahadasha. On the other hand, if malefic and/or poorly placed Moon forms Gandmool Dosh in a horoscope, the problems may intensify during Moon period. Apart from that; the problems posed by Gandmool Dosh may reduce during Mahadashas of benefic planets whereas they may intensify during Mahadashas of malefic planets.

Looking at remedies, the best remedy for this defect may be Gandmool Dosh Nivaran Pooja. This is the process through which the negative influence of Gandmool Dosh on Moon is reduced with the help of certain specific Mantras and procedures.

Naga Dosha also known as Sarpa Dosha is a malefic yoga. According to its prevalent definition; if one among Rahu or Ketu is placed in the first house and the other one is placed in the seventh house, Naga Dosha is formed in the horoscope. Sarpa Dosha may trouble the native with problems related to health, lifespan, marriage, profession, overall wellbeing, personality, status, reputation, mental health, black magic, other-worldly entities, evil spirits and a number of other problems.

It is believed that if Naga Dosha is formed in a horoscope, the native might have engaged in acts of violence against Sarpas (snakes) in his past life. He might have troubled Nagas, he might have captured and used them for selfish motives or he might have killed Sarpas in his past life. As a result of such karmas; Naga Dosha is said be formed in his horoscope; commonly considered as curse of Nagas/Sarpas or serpent gods.

Hamsa Yoga

Hamsa Yoga is formed by Jupiter in a horoscope and it is considered as one of the five most auspicious Yogas in Vedic astrology which are known as Panch MahaPurusha Yogas where the other four Yogas are called Malavya Yoga, Ruchaka Yoga, Bhadra Yoga and Shasha Yoga.

According to the prevalent definition of Hamsa Yoga in Vedic astrology, when Jupiter is placed in Kendra or center from Ascendant which means when Jupiter is placed in 1st, 4th, 7th or 10th house from Ascendant in any of the signs namely Cancer, Sagittarius or Pisces, Hamsa Yoga is formed in the horoscope. It can bless the native with prosperity, authority, success, respect, luck, progress in the fields of spiritualism and religion; wealth and many other things. Hamsa Yoga can also bless the native with some divine or supernatural powers or with such an inspiration.

Some natives under the strong influence of Hamsa Yoga may become famous in the fields of religion or spiritualism and some of these natives may achieve posts of authority in spiritual or religious organizations. When their overall horoscopes are supportive; they can start new religious or spiritual missions or faiths. They are also likely to be followed by a large number of devotees, depending on the overall theme of their horoscopes. Strong Hamsa Yoga in a horoscope can also bless the native with very good materialistic progress. Therefore, some natives under the strong influence of Hamsa Yoga can make great fortunes and wealth through businesses, through creative practices, through fields like spiritualism or astrology and many other fields.

Such natives are likely to lead lives full of luxuries and comforts; and these natives are also likely to be inclined towards religious, spiritual and charitable deeds. These natives generally believe in doing something constructive for the people around them, for the weaker sections of society as well as for the society and humanity on the whole. In general, the natives under the strong influence of Hamsa Yoga may not only achieve great materialistic or spiritual results, they may also prove very good for the society and humanity.

Due to the above mentioned qualities possessed by them, the natives under the strong influence of Hamsa Yoga are respected, loved and followed by people around them as well as by many members of society. It is evident that all these qualities and achievements are found rarely and they are not found in a great number of human beings. Therefore the formation of Hamsa Yoga in a horoscope should also be a rare phenomenon and it should not be something that may repeat in a number of horoscopes. This is because horoscopes only reflect our personalities and our destinies based on those personalities. Hence if a person is very good, that goodness is shown in his horoscope also. It means that if the number of very good people like the ones mentioned in this example is not high, there should not be many horoscopes featuring strong Hamsa Yoga.

Analyzing the definition of Hamsa Yoga, we can find out that according to its prevalent definition, this Yoga is present in every 12th horoscope on average as there are only 12 houses and 12 signs in a horoscope. Accordingly, the probability of Jupiter being placed in any particular house in different signs makes 12 placements of Jupiter in every house. Since Jupiter can be present in 12 different signs in each house, so the total number of combinations for all 12 houses is 144. Looking at the formation of Hamsa Yoga, Jupiter can form Hamsa Yoga when present in 1st house in one of the three signs namely Cancer, Sagittarius and Pisces, and hence the number of occurrences is 3. The same number of occurrences will be found in case of placements of Jupiter in 4th, 7th and 10th houses which make a total of 12 occurrences of Hamsa Yoga out of the total 144 placements of Jupiter in 12 different houses and in 12 different signs.

Hence this Yoga should be present in every 12th horoscope on average and accordingly every 12th person should be blessed with great qualities and luck rendered by this Yoga. This is obviously not the case in actual practice as such great qualities and achievements are found rarely. It means there must be more conditions for the formation of Hamsa Yoga in a horoscope and this Yoga can’t be confirmed merely on the basis of presence of Jupiter in some particular houses and in some particular signs in a horoscope.

The most important factor for the formation of Hamsa Yoga in a horoscope is that Jupiter should be working as a benefic planet in the horoscope, apart from being placed in any one of the already mentioned houses in any one of the already mentioned signs. On the other hand, malefic Jupiter placed in any of these four houses in any of the signs namely Cancer, Sagittarius and Pisces may not form Hamsa Yoga and it may form some defect in the horoscope which may trouble the native with many kinds of problems. This is because benefic yogas are made by benefic planets only. Malefic planets can’t bless a person with results like respect, fame and spiritual growth in the long run, though they may sometimes give some temporary gains to some natives, if their overall horoscopes are supportive for such gains.

For example, malefic Jupiter placed in the tenth house of a horoscope in Cancer, Sagittarius or Pisces can make the native a con man who believes in deceiving and tricking other people in the name of religion, spiritualism and humanity. Though this native may witness short term gains by fooling people, if his overall horoscope is supportive for such gains; he may face bad name and many other problems in the long run. Similarly, malefic Jupiter present in any of the other three central houses of a horoscope can also cause problems for the native in one sphere of life or the other. Hence, the need for Jupiter to be benefic is a must meet condition for the formation of Hamsa Yoga in a horoscope.

Hence the refined definition of this yoga says, if benefic Jupiter is placed in the any one of the central houses in any one of the signs namely Cancer, Sagittarius and Pisces, Hamsa Yoga is formed in such horoscope. This yoga may bless the native with name, fame, success, authority, wealth, spiritual growth, divine knowledge, philosophy, humanitarian interests and other good results, depending on the overall theme of the horoscope.

Once the formation of Hamsa Yoga is confirmed in a horoscope, the next thing to check is its strength. The strength of this Yoga is checked through the placement of Jupiter in different houses, different signs, different nakshatras and different navamshas as well as through the influence of other positive or negative planets on Jupiter in a horoscope. For example, the formation of Hamsa Yoga in tenth house of a horoscope in Sagittarius can blesse the native with success through government services, politics, creative fields, businesses and many other fields, depending on his overall horoscope. Hence such natives may become administrative officers, revenue officers, police officers or other types of officers in government, politicians, ministers, actors, singers, writers, musicians, sportsmen, dancers, movie directors, producers, astrologers, spiritual gurus, religious heads and many other types of professionals, depending on their overall horoscopes.

Looking at conjunctions, Hamsa Yoga formed due to the presence of exalted Jupiter in the first house of a horoscope in Cancer along with benefic Moon in the same house can bless the native with a post of high authority in government through politics, if the overall horoscope is supportive. Such benefic combination forms Gaj Kesari Yoga which may significantly enhance the benefic results indicated by Hamsa Yoga. On the other hand, Hamsa Yoga formed due to the presence of exalted Jupiter in the first house of a horoscope in Cancer along with malefic Rahu or malefic Ketu may not produce significant good results. This is because such malefic Rahu or Ketu may form Guru Chandal Yoga in the horoscope which may dilute as well as corrupt the results of Hamsa Yoga. If the overall horoscope is also negative, the native may even become a criminal and he may earn bad name instead of good name. This is because the presence of highly negative Rahu or Ketu may add corruption to this Yog and hence the native may use the abilities given by Jupiter for selfish motives. It should be noted that Rahu and Ketu have just been used for reference and the same results may be witnessed due to the presence of other strong and malefic planets with Jupiter, in the same case.

Looking at one more possibility, the presence of benefic Rahu or Ketu in the first house of a horoscope in Cancer along with Hamsa Yoga forming Jupiter can increase the quantum of good results achieved by the native and hence he may achieve good results of high quantum. For example, such natives may excel in the fields like medical science, astrology, hospitality industry, spiritualism, teaching and many other fields; depending on their overall horoscopes. Similarly, the effect of other good or bad planets on Jupiter should also be checked before predicting the good or bad results indicated by Hamsa Yoga.

The next factor to check is the time of activation of Hamsa Yoga, like all other yogas. Even when actually formed in a horoscope, any good or bad Yoga may not be activated from the time of birth of the native and this activation may vary from person to person. It means that Hamsa Yoga present in different horoscopes may have different times of activation and accordingly, different natives may start benefitting from it during different ages. This is why you see some people witnessing such benefits at early ages, some during middle ages and some of them during their ages above 50 or even 60.

Above all, the overall theme of the horoscope having such Hamsa Yoga should be analyzed carefully as this is what matters the most. The overall theme of a horoscope is the most important aspect in it and it can change everything. For example, if Hamsa Yoga is formed due to the presence of exalted Jupiter in the first house of a horoscope in Cancer and the overall theme of the horoscope is indicating authority, this Yoga may bless the native with a post of authority in the house of government.

Looking even deeper, if the education aspect is stronger in the horoscope and the diplomacy or adventure aspect is relatively weaker, the native may achieve such authority through government job, achieving success in competitive exams. On the other hand, if education aspect is not that strong and diplomatic, adventurous and public interaction aspects are strong, the native may achieve a post of authority through politics. Similarly, if the spiritual aspect is strong in this horoscope, the native may become a highly authoritative spiritual guru due to the blessings of Hamsa Yoga. Likewise, if the creative aspect is high in the horoscope, the native may become a highly authoritative writer or actor and he may later be introduced to politics also.

Many other such combinations are also possible and that is why the overall theme of a horoscope is what matters the most. There are no doubts that if Hamsa Yoga of good strength forms in a horoscope, the native must benefit from it and he must achieve good results. However, the exact type of good results achieved by such native, the timing and the quantum of those good results are indicted by the overall theme of his horoscope.

Generally speaking, you can simply tell that something good is going to happen to the native having strong Hamsa Yoga in his horoscope. Specifically speaking, you can’t tell what type of good, how much good and when can such good happen to this native. Therefore, the overall theme of the horoscope becomes very important if you’re interested in the detailed applications of Hamsa Yoga or any other good or bad Yoga present in a horoscope.

Let’s consider a horoscope to understand the working of Hamsa yoga in a better way. This horoscope belongs to a native who is a well-established movie star as well as celebrity from India. Benefic exalted Jupiter is placed in seventh house of this horoscope in Cancer, benefic Moon is placed in tenth house in Libra, benefic retrograde Saturn is placed in fifth house in Taurus, a benefic combination of Sun, Mars, debilitated Venus and exalted retrograde Mercury is placed in ninth house in Virgo; malefic Rahu is placed in eighth house in Leo and Ketu is placed in second house in Aquarius. It should be noted that the term benefic combination means that the net outcome of the planets in such combination is positive for bigger results; though the combination may also have negative planets which may cause smaller negative results.

For example, if malefic debilitated Mercury and benefic Jupiter are placed in fifth house of a horoscope in Pisces, the overall combination is likely to be benefic unless there is interference from other planets in the horoscope. This is because malefic Mercury is weak due to debilitation whereas benefic Jupiter is strong due to placement in Pisces. Hence the overall bigger outcomes of this combination are likely to be benefic, blessing the native with success in various types of professions as well as with spiritual growth. However, malefic debilitated Mercury may still cause some problems like those related to children or love affairs. On the other hand, if malefic exalted Mercury and benefic Jupiter are placed in eighth house of a horoscope in Virgo; the overall combination becomes malefic, since Mercury is much stronger than Jupiter. Hence this combination can create serious problems related to family and finances of the native; though benefic Jupiter may still bless the native with spiritual growth and some good results related to some type of research and development.

Apart from Hamsa Yoga in seventh house, this horoscope features Neechbhanga Raj yoga as well as BudhAditya Yoga in the ninth house of this horoscope. Since Hamsa Yoga is formed in Cancer, Jupiter is placed in Punarvasu nakshatra, retrograde Saturn is placed in fifth house in Taurus in Rohini nakshatra, Moon is placed in tenth house in Libra in Swati nakshatra and a combination of Sun, Mars, retrograde exalted Mercury and debilitated Venus is placed in Virgo; the overall theme of this horoscope bends towards creativity, politics or hospitality. The signs like Taurus, Cancer, Virgo and Libra are soft signs and they promote delicate tendencies like creativity, care, nurture, charm, romance, diplomacy, politics and other such qualities. The native doesn’t have prominent placements in Aries, Scorpio, Leo and Sagittarius which are intense signs and they tend to create different set of qualities. Hence the chances of this native engaging in a creative field, politics or a field related to hospitality are better.

Looking at the running times; the periods of Jupiter and Saturn hit this native between his age of 15 and 50 where Saturn rules between 30 and 50. Since Saturn is placed in fifth house in Rohini; and fifth house is the house of creativity; the chances of this native engaging in a creative field are better. If this age of this native was ruled by Moon, he may have engaged in a business related to hospitality industry; like hotel business, tour and travel business and other such businesses. Due to Hamsa Yoga as well as due to the placement of four prominent planets in ninth house in Virgo; the native is able to benefit from luck factor; especially when the running times are good. Such versatile combination in ninth house enables this native to enact wide variety of roles without much difficulty. The combination of all these planetary energies as well as running times is capable of making this native shine in the field of acting. Hence the native witnesses very good results through this field due to benefic influence of Hamsa Yoga and other benefic planets.

You see, how many different possibilities are there, even with the same looking horoscope. All we have done is changed the placement of Moon within the same house as well as within the same sign; and the results change significantly. Hence the overall theme of a horoscope should be checked carefully and only then the resultant should be decided. When actually formed in a horoscope and supported by the overall horoscope, strong Hamsa Yoga can bless the native with very good results related to many spheres of his life, depending on his overall horoscope.

Malavya Yoga

Malavya Yoga is formed by Venus in a horoscope and it is considered as one of the five most auspicious Yogas in Vedic astrology called Panch MahaPurusha Yogas where the other 4 Yogas in this class are Hamsa Yoga, Ruchaka Yoga, Bhadra Yoga and Shasha Yoga. According to the prevalent definition of Malavya Yoga, when Venus is present in Kendra or center from Ascendant in a horoscope, which means when Venus is present in 1st, 4th, 7th or 10th house from Ascendant in a horoscope in any one of the three signs namely Taurus, Libra and Pisces, Malavya Yoga is formed in the horoscope.

Malavya Yoga can bless the native with many good things depending on the strength of this Yoga in the horoscope as well as on the overall tone of the horoscope of the native. Venus is the planet associated with women, beauty, diplomacy, trade, luxuries, love life, comforts, creativity, arts and many other good things according to Vedic astrology. Accordingly, the formation of Malavya Yoga in a horoscope can bless the native with a beautiful and loving wife, success in business, a life full of luxuries and comforts, and fame on national or international level.

The natives under the strong influence of Malavya Yoga usually possess charming and magnetic personalities which attract other people easily and especially the people from the opposite sex. Some natives under the strong influence of Malavya Yoga may become successful or very successful in professional fields like modelling, cinema, movies and other such fields which require beauty and charm in order to be successful. Malavya Yoga present in the horoscope of women can make them very beautiful and desirable, and some women under the strong influence of this Yoga may win national or international beauty pageants.

We know that all these qualities and achievements are found rarely and they are not found in a great number of people. Therefore the formation of Malavya Yoga in a horoscope should also be a rare phenomenon and it should not be something that may repeat in a number of horoscopes. This is because horoscopes only reflect our personalities and our destinies based on those personalities. Hence if a person is blessed with certain special attributes, they are shown in the horoscope also. Since the natives with such qualities are rare, it means there should not be many horoscopes featuring strong Malavya Yoga.

Analyzing the definition of Malavya Yoga, we can find out that according to its prevalent definition, this Yoga is present in every twelfth horoscope on average as there are only 12 houses and 12 signs in a horoscope. Looking at the formation of Malavya Yoga, Venus can form Malavya Yoga when present in 1st house in one of the three signs namely Taurus, Libra and Pisces, and hence the number of occurrences is 3. The same number of occurrences will be found in case of placements of Venus in 4th, 7th and 10th houses which makes a total of 12 occurrences of Malavya Yoga out of the total 144 placements of Venus in 12 different houses and in 12 different signs. Hence this Yoga should be present in every 12th horoscope on average and accordingly every 12th person should be blessed with great qualities and blessings rendered by this Yoga. This is obviously not the case in actual practice as such qualities and achievements are found rarely. It means there is more to the formation of Malavya Yoga in a horoscope and this Yoga can’t be confirmed merely on the basis of presence of Venus in some particular houses and in some particular signs in a horoscope.

The most important factor for the formation of Malavya Yoga in a horoscope is that Venus should be working as a benefic planet in the horoscope, apart from being placed in any one of the already mentioned houses in any one of the already mentioned signs. On the other hand, malefic Venus placed in any of the above mentioned 4 houses in any of the signs namely Taurus, Libra and Pisces may not form Malavya Yoga and it may form some defect in the horoscope which may trouble the native with many types of problems. This is because benefic yogas are made by benefic planets only. Malefic planets can’t bless a person with very good results in the long run, though they may sometimes give some temporary gains to some natives, if their overall horoscopes are supportive for such gains.

For example, malefic exalted Venus placed in 1st house of a horoscope in Taurus, Libra or Pisces can render beauty, charm, diplomacy, business skills or creativity to the native but the native may use them negatively. Though this native may witness short term gains by virtue of these qualities, if the overall horoscope is supportive for such gains; the results in the long run may be very bad. Similarly, malefic Venus present in any of the other three central houses of a horoscope can also cause problems for the native in one sphere of life or the other. Therefore, Venus must be a functional benefic in a horoscope, in order to form Malavya Yoga in such horoscope.

Hence the refined definition of Malavya Yoga says, if benefic Venus is placed in the any one of the central houses of a horoscope in any one of the signs namely Taurus, Libra and Pisces, Malavya Yoga is formed in such horoscope. This yoga may bless the native with success, fame, money, beauty, luxuries, comforts, vehicles, houses, authority and many other good results; depending on the overall horoscope of the native in question.

Once the formation of Malavya Yoga is confirmed in a horoscope, the next thing to check is its strength. The strength of this Yoga is checked through the placement of Venus in different houses, different signs, different nakshatras and different navamshas, as well as through the influence of other positive or negative planets on Venus in a horoscope. For example, Malavya Yoga formed due to the presence of Venus in the tenth house of a horoscope in Libra can bless the native with very good results through a number of professions. Hence the native may become actor, singer, dancer, politician; officer in government, businessman dealing in fields like hospitality or glamour industry; and many other types of professional; depending on his overall horoscope.

Looking at conjunctions, if benefic Venus forms Malavya yoga in tenth house of a horoscope in Libra and benefic Moon, benefic Mars, benefic Saturn or benefic Rahu is placed along with it; the results may become even better. Once again, the types of results given by such combinations depend on the planet or planets in conjunction with Venus; the nakshatras as well as navamshas of all such planets and on the overall theme of the horoscope. For example, the presence of benefic Moon with Venus may bless the native with top class results through acting or through businesses related to hospitality, arts, luxuries and other finer aspects of life, when supported by the overall horoscope. The presence of benefic exalted Saturn in tenth house in Libra with Venus can render wonderful results since Shasha yoga is also formed along with Malavya yoga in this case. This is a powerful combination and whichever field the native goes to; this combination may bless him with authority of high order. Whether such native becomes a businessman, actor, government officer or politician; he may command high authority; provided the rest of the horoscope is supportive.

On the other hand, Malavya Yoga formed due to the presence of exalted Venus in the tenth house of a horoscope in Libra along with malefic Rahu, Ketu, Jupiter or with malefic debilitated Sun may not produce significant good results. In some of these cases when Venus is afflicted and the overall horoscope is also weak, the native may get addicted to intoxicating substances and such addictions may spoil his career along with causing damage to other spheres of his life. For example, the formation of Malavya Yoga in tenth house in Libra along with malefic Rahu in the same house can make the native spoil his career, primarily due to lavish lifestyle and vices. Considering one more possibility, the formation of Malavya yoga in tenth house in Libra along with malefic debilitated Sun can spoil the career as well as marriage of the native on account of bad decisions and unfortunate events. Likewise, other malefic planets may also dilute or reduce the benefic results indicated by Malavya yoga in a horoscope; if such malefic planets are placed in conjunction with Venus; unless one such horoscope has strong benefic planets which can reduce or contain the damage. For example, in case of affliction of Venus by Rahu in tenth house in Libra; if benefic Saturn forms Shasha yoga in first house of this horoscope in Capricorn; most of the bad results indicated by such conjunction may be rectified and the native may enjoy very good results due to Malavya yoga as well as due to Shasha yoga.

The next factor to check is the time of activation of Malavya Yoga, like all other yogas. Even when actually formed in a horoscope, any good or bad Yoga may not be activated from the time of birth of the native and this activation may vary from person to person. It means that Malavya Yoga present in different horoscopes may have different times of activation and accordingly, different natives may start benefitting from it during different ages. This is why you see some people witnessing such benefits at early ages, some during middle ages and some may witness such benefits late in their lives.

Above all, the overall theme of the horoscope having such Malavya yoga should be analyzed carefully as this is what matters the most. The overall theme of a horoscope is the most important aspect in it and it can change everything. For example, if Malavya Yoga is formed due to the presence of exalted Venus in the first house of a horoscope in Pisces and the overall theme of the horoscope is indicating creativity, this Yoga may bless the native with good results through a creative field. Looking deeper, if the horoscope is showing enhanced physical energy due to the combination of various planets, the native may become a dancer. This is because the native is creative and he has a lot of physical energy. Since both these qualities want to find outward expression, the native may become a dancer as the art of dance needs a great deal of physical energy. Going even deeper, depending on the level of overall energy, this native may engage in slow or even in a very fast and energy demanding type of dance.

However, if Malavya Yoga is present in the first house of a horoscope of Pisces, the overall theme is creative and dramatic energies are enhanced due to the combination of various planets, the native may become an actor. This is because the native is creative and he likes drama, which means he likes to express himself through physical and emotional gestures. Hence the chances of this native engaging in the field of acting are more. Similarly, if Malavya Yoga is formed in the first house of a horoscope in Pisces, the overall theme is creative and verbal energies are enhanced due to the combination of various planets, the native may become a singer. This is because the native is creative and he has a good voice also. Hence he may become a singer. All other creative or artistic professions related to Venus can also be explained on the same basis. In case a native has strong energies of more than one type, he may engage in more than one type of fields at the same time. It means the native may become a singer as well as a dancer or he may become an actor known for his dancing skills.

Looking at one more combination, if Malavya Yoga is formed in the first house of a horoscope in Pisces and the overall theme of the horoscope supports income through business, the native may achieve good results through businesses related to the domain of Venus. Hence this native may engage in the field of beauty products, movie making, hotel industry, airline industry, fashion industry and other such fields. Once again, the exact type of field chosen by the native and the quantum of success achieved by him depends on the overall theme of his horoscope. Many other such combinations are also possible and that is why the overall theme of a horoscope is what matters the most. There are no doubts that if Malavya Yoga of good strength forms in a horoscope, the native must benefit from it and he must achieve good results. However, the type of good results achieved by such native, the timing and the quantum of those good results are indicted by the overall theme of his horoscope.

Generally speaking, you can simply tell that something good is going to happen to the native having Malavya Yoga in his horoscope. Specifically speaking, you can’t tell what type of good, how much good and when can such good happen to this native? Therefore, the overall theme of the horoscope becomes very important if you’re interested in the detailed applications of Malavya Yoga or those of any other good or bad Yoga present in a horoscope.

Shasha Yoga

Shasha Yoga is formed by Saturn in a horoscope and it is considered as one of the five most auspicious Yogas in Vedic astrology called Panch MahaPurusha Yogas where the other four Yogas in this class are Hamsa Yoga, Malavya Yoga, Ruchaka Yoga and Bhadra Yoga. According to the prevalent definition of Shasha Yoga, when Saturn is present in Kendra or Center from Ascendant in a horoscope, which means when Saturn is present in 1st, 4th, 7th or 10th house from Ascendant in a horoscope in any one of the three signs namely Libra, Capricorn and Aquarius, Shasha Yoga is formed in the horoscope.

Shasha Yoga can bless the native with many good things depending on the strength of this Yoga in the horoscope as well as on the overall horoscope of the native. Saturn is associated with analytical ability, perseverance, patience, practical nature, hard work, authority, lawfulness, discipline, governess, judgement, administrative skills, management skills and many other quality traits. Accordingly, the formation of Shasha Yoga in a horoscope can bless the native with very good results related to the significances of Saturn. Strong Shasha Yoga present in a horoscope can bless the native with a position of high authority and power in the house of government and some natives under this benefic influence can also become heads of the states or top class ministers in governments, when supported by their overall horoscopes. Some other natives under the influence of Shasha Yoga can become successful lawyers, judges, engineers, powerful political leaders, rich and famous real estate builders or dealers, successful and famous liquor businessmen; owners of various manufacturing units like cars, refrigerators, air conditioners and other industries; writers, journalists and many other kinds of professionals.

If the overall theme of a horoscope is supportive, strong influence of Shasha Yoga in such horoscope can also bless the native with very good results in the fields of spiritualism and meditation. Accordingly, some natives under such benefic influence may shine as spiritual healers, spiritual philosophers, spiritual preachers or gurus, Yoga teachers, meditation teachers and other such professionals. Strong influence of Shasha Yoga can also bless the native with great wealth, money, power, success and fame among many other things.

We know that all these qualities and achievements are found rarely and they are not found in a great number of people. Therefore the formation of Shasha Yoga in a horoscope should also be a rare phenomenon and it should not be something that may repeat in a number of horoscopes. This is because horoscopes only reflect our personalities and our destinies based on those personalities. Hence if a person is blessed with certain special attributes, they are shown in the horoscope also. Since the natives with such qualities are rare, it means there should not be many horoscopes featuring strong Shasha Yoga.

Analyzing the definition of Shasha Yoga, we can find out that according to its prevalent definition, this Yoga is present in every twelfth horoscope on average as there are only 12 houses and 12 signs in a horoscope. Looking at the formation of Shasha Yoga, Saturn can form Shasha Yoga when present in 1st house in one of the three signs namely Libra, Capricorn and Aquarius, and hence the number of occurrences is 3. The same number of occurrences will be found in case of placements of Saturn in 4th, 7th and 10th houses which makes a total of 12 occurrences of Shasha Yoga out of the total 144 placements of Saturn in 12 different houses and in 12 different signs. Hence this Yoga should be present in every 12th horoscope on average and accordingly every 12th person should be blessed with great qualities and blessings rendered by this Yoga. This is obviously not the case in actual practice as such qualities and achievements are found rarely. It means there is more to the formation of Shasha Yoga in a horoscope and this Yoga can’t be confirmed merely on the basis of presence of Saturn in some particular houses and in some particular signs in a horoscope.

The most important factor for the formation of Shasha Yoga in a horoscope is that Saturn should be working as a benefic planet in the horoscope, apart from being placed in any one of the already mentioned houses in any one of the already mentioned signs. On the other hand, malefic Saturn placed in any of the above mentioned four houses in any of the signs namely Libra, Capricorn and Aquarius may not form Shasha Yoga and it may form some defect in the horoscope which may trouble the native with many types of problems. This is because benefic yogas are made by benefic planets only. Malefic planets can’t bless a person with very good results in the long run, though they may sometimes give some temporary gains to some natives, if their overall horoscopes are supportive for such gains.

For example, malefic exalted Saturn placed in first house of a horoscope in Libra, Capricorn or Aquarius can render qualities like patience, hard work, discipline, perseverance, administrative skills, analytical abilities and other qualities to the native but the native may use them negatively. Though this native may witness short term gains by virtue of these qualities, if the overall horoscope is supportive for such gains; the results in the long run may be very bad. Similarly, malefic Saturn present in any of the other three central houses of a horoscope can also cause problems for the native in one sphere of life or the other. Therefore, Saturn must be a functional benefic in a horoscope, in order to form Shasha Yoga in such horoscope.

Hence the refined definition of Shasha Yoga says, if benefic Saturn is placed in the any one of the central houses of a horoscope in any one of the signs namely Libra, Capricorn and Aquarius; Shasha Yoga is formed in such horoscope. This yoga may bless the native with success, fame, money, authority, recognition, awards, bravery, courage and many other good results; depending on the overall horoscope of the native in question.

Once the formation of Shasha Yoga is confirmed in a horoscope, the next thing to check is its strength. The strength of this Yoga is checked through the placement of Saturn in different houses, different signs, different nakshatras and different navamshas, as well as through the influence of other positive or negative planets on Saturn in a horoscope. For example, Shasha Yoga formed due to the presence of benefic Saturn in the first house of a horoscope in Capricorn can bless the native with a post of high authority in the government or with top class success through some sport or business, depending on the overall horoscope. Hence the native may become a government officer, sportsman, athlete, actor, singer, doctor, businessman, industrialist, politician or some other type of professional, depending on his overall horoscope.

Looking at conjunctions, the presence of benefic or malefic planets with Shasha yoga forming Saturn can enhance or reduce the benefic effects indicated by it. For example, if Saturn forms Shasha yoga in first house of a horoscope in Capricorn and benefic Venus, Jupiter, Sun, Moon, Rahu, Mercury, Mars or Ketu is placed with it, the native may witness better results from one such combination. Looking at a possibility, if benefic Saturn forms Shasha yoga in first house in Capricorn and benefic Venus is placed with it, the results of this yoga may enhance a lot. As a result, the native may get blessed with a post of authority in government through politics or through job; or he may achieve success as an artist or businessman; depending on the placements of these two planets in various nakshatras as well as in various navamshas; and on the overall horoscope of the native. For instance, if Shasha yoga forms in first house in Capricorn, Saturn is placed in Uttarashada nakshatra and Venus is placed in Uttarashada or Shravana nakshatra; the native may become a minister in the government and he may handle a ministry like defence ministry, home ministry or finance ministry. However, If both these planets are placed in Shravana nakshatra, the native may become a judge, an administrative officer or a minister dealing in finance ministry, women and child development ministry or information and broadcast ministry.

On the other hand, Shasha Yoga formed due to placement of Saturn in the first house of a horoscope in Capricorn along with malefic Rahu, Ketu, Sun, Jupiter, Mercury, Mars or Venus may dilute or corrupt the benefic effects indicated by this yoga. For example, if Saturn forms Shasha yoga in first house in Capricorn and malefic debilitated Jupiter is placed with it; the benefic effects of such Shasha yoga may be reduced or corrupted; depending on the relevant factors as well as on the overall horoscope. For instance, if this combination of placed in Dhanishtha nakshatra, the native may develop various types of vices which may affect his professional success, personal life, health and reputation. Such native may consume alcohol in excessive quantities, he may get addicted to some drug, he may gamble on regular basis; he may engage in corruptions or he may not do his duty in a fair way if he is an officer with government. In extreme cases when such affliction is strong and the overall horoscope is also not supportive, the native may lose his job or all his wealth and he may also have to face serious health issues. Hence the presence of benefic or malefic planets with Saturn should be checked properly, before predicting the benefic results of Shasha yoga.

The next factor to check is the time of activation of Shasha Yoga, like all other yogas. Even when actually formed in a horoscope, any good or bad Yoga may not be activated from the time of birth of the native and this activation may vary from person to person. It means that Shasha Yoga present in different horoscopes may have different times of activation and accordingly, different natives may start benefitting from it during different ages. This is why you see some people witnessing such benefits at early ages, some during middle ages and some may witness such benefits late in their lives.

After this, the overall theme of the horoscope having such Shasha Yoga should be analyzed carefully as this is what matters the most. The overall theme of a horoscope is the most important aspect in it and it can change everything. For example, if Shasha Yoga is formed in the first house of a horoscope and the overall theme of the horoscope is indicating authority, this Yoga may bless the native with good results related to some type of authority. Looking deeper, if the horoscope is showing good trends related to education, the native may achieve such authority through government job, by virtue of his education. However, if the overall theme is authoritative, educations trends are not very good and public dealing as well as diplomatic aspect is strong, the native may achieve a post of authority through politics.

Similarly, if Shasha Yoga is formed in the first house of a horoscope and the overall theme is analytical due to the combination of various planets, the native may become an engineer or a scientist. Considering one more possibility, if Shasha Yoga is formed in the first house of a horoscope and the overall theme of the horoscope is creative, the native may become an actor or some other type of creative professional, depending on the rest of his horoscope. Likewise, if Shasha Yoga is formed in the first house of a horoscope, the overall theme of the horoscope is authoritative and abilities like courage and bravery are enhanced in the horoscope, the native may become a police officer, an army officer, an air force officer or a naval officer, depending on the rest of his horoscope. Going deeper, if the horoscope of this native shows enhanced public dealing and engagement in dispute settlement, the native may become a police officer. However, if the horoscope of the native shows strong tendencies of discipline and less public dealing, he may become an army officer, a naval officer or an air force officer; depending on his overall horoscope.

Looking at one more combination, if Shasha Yoga is formed in the first house of a horoscope and the overall theme of the horoscope supports income through business, the native may achieve good results through businesses related to the domain of Saturn as well as those indicated by the overall theme of the horoscope. Hence this native may engage in the field of real estate, construction business, labor contracts of various types, liquor business, mining industry, any type of business related to wood or timber; steel business, and other such fields. Once again, the type of field chosen by the native and the quantum of success achieved by him depend on the overall theme of his horoscope.

Many other such combinations are also possible and that is why the overall theme of a horoscope is what matters the most. There are no doubts that if Shasha Yoga of good strength forms in a horoscope, the native must benefit from it and he must achieve good results. However, the type of good results achieved by this native, the timing and the quantum of those good results are indicted by the overall theme of his horoscope.

Generally speaking, you can simply tell that something good is going to happen to the native having Shasha Yoga in his horoscope. Specifically speaking, you can’t tell what type of good, how much good and when can such good happen to this native. Therefore, the overall theme of the horoscope becomes very important if you’re interested in the detailed applications of Shasha Yoga or any other good or bad Yoga present in a horoscope.

Conception and Pregnancy Problems

The problems related to conception and pregnancy are among some of the most significant ones that a person or a couple may face in their lives. It is a delicate issue which can cause so much tension, disturbance and depression in the lives of a couple. Let’s look into this problem due to which either a female is not capable of conceiving or a male is not capable of providing sufficient or strong enough seed to the female so that she may conceive. We will discuss both medical as well as astrological aspects of this problem.

Looking at the internal process of a female first, a female is born with all her eggs reserved in her ovaries. A female has two ovaries as well as two fallopian tubes which attach each one of these ovaries to the uterus. At a certain age say between 14 to 16 years, she may start ovulating which means her ovaries start releasing eggs which then travel to the uterus through fallopian tubes. During the process of mating, the male sperm may fertilize an egg and such fertilized eggs is deposited to her uterus. The female gets pregnant, the uterus holds and nurtures this egg which soon turns into fetus and then with the passage of time, a child is developed and it is delivered by the female, provided there are no issues or complications during this process.

Looking at the issues, a female may not be able to ovulate properly or she may not ovulate at all, due to various reasons; many of which are related to ovaries. Some other females may have problems with their menstruation cycle due to which they may not be able to conceive. Yet some other females may have various types of problems with their uteruses due to which, they may not be able to hold the pregnancy for long or at all. Though there may be some issues related to the fallopian tubes also in some cases; but the majority of issues are found in the three sections mentioned earlier.

When it comes to men, there are primarily two issues which can prevent the conception from taking place, from their end. Looking at the first issue, some men may have low sperm count due to which their chances of getting a female pregnant may reduce. During the process of mating, a male releases millions of sperms into the body of a female where these sperms try to fertilize the egg released by her ovaries. The atmosphere inside a female’s body is naturally hostile for the sperms and it tries to kill them all. This measure is in place to ensure that only one of the strongest sperms is able to reach the egg and fertilize it, so that the male delivers his best contribution towards the child. As the hostile atmosphere inside a female body tries to kill male sperms and as the sperms try to reach the egg; two factors become important. One of them is the overall sperm count as already mentioned and the second is the quality of the sperms. When the overall sperm count is low, it means fewer number of sperms are released into the body of a female by such male; thereby reducing the chances of conception. Looking at the second factor, some males produce sperms which may not be good enough to cross the hostile atmosphere inside the female body and fertilize the egg, so that conception may happen.

Therefore, if one or more than one of these issues are there with the female or male who are trying for a baby; conception may either not happen or it may not hold. With progress and development in medical field, many new techniques have been developed which can help a female conceive. One of the most famous techniques is IVR which means In Vitro Fertilization. During this process, the doctors take out an egg from the female body, they take sperms from male body; they manually fertilize the female egg with male sperm and then they transfer the fertilized egg to the uterus of the female. The female then gets pregnant and if all goes well, she delivers a child. This technique can help with low sperm count as well as with the quality of sperm to significant extent. Regarding females, this technique can take care of problems like ovulation problems, fallopian tubes problems and some other problems. However, even with this technique, the quality of female egg and the strength of her uterus are major roadblocks since they can spoil the results of IVF. If the quality of egg is not good, IVF may not take place whereas if the uterus has issues, the IVF may take place but the uterus may not sustain the pregnancy and the child may get aborted.

While doctors around the world are doing their best to find and provide solutions for more and more problems which prevent conception and which cause failed pregnancy; astrology has its own part to play. The horoscope of a female outlines each organ as well as its working in a detailed way. It means the underlying problems in a female’s body which can prevent her from conceiving can be detected from her horoscope. Whether something is wrong with the ovaries, with the periods or with the uterus; all these issues can be detected from the horoscope of an affected female. Whereas the medical science can find and describe these problems after the female has reached a certain age and she is trying to conceive; Vedic astrology can detect such issues right at the time of birth of such female. It means an astrologer can find it in the horoscope of a girl child that she is likely to have difficulties conceiving or holding pregnancy; due to problems with her ovaries, eggs, uterus or some other problems.

Similarly in case of males, an astrologer can find out if the sperm count is likely to be low or if the quality of the sperm is not likely to be good enough to fertilize an egg. Vedic astrology is not only equipped with the tools to detect these problems at any age; it also blesses us with the remedies which can treat and cure most of these problems in majority of such cases; provided the natural factors are not against one such native. For instance, if a female has reached a stage of menopause which means her periods have stopped, primarily because all her eggs have been released and there are no eggs left to ovulate; there is nothing that can be done in this case, even with the help of Vedic astrology. The menopause generally happens between the age of 50 and 60 though it may vary in some cases. This is a natural factor and Vedic astrology may not offer any solution for it.

However, if the female still has eggs and her periods have stopped; the remedies from Vedic astrology can help her in ways that her periods may restart, she may ovulate and she may conceive. Likewise, if there are issues with the quality of eggs or the uterus is not strong enough to hold the pregnancy; these issues can be fixed with astrological remedies in majority of the cases. Looking at the male part; low sperm count and quality of sperm can be fixed in most cases, with the help of astrological remedies. Let’s now try to understand the remedial approach in a logical manner.

In Vedic astrology, human body is divided into twelve major zones. Each one of these zones deals with different parts of body as well as with their functions. Similarly, the planets among Navagraha represent body parts, organs and their functions. When medical problems are there, say the ones related to conception and that too in the body of a female, such problems will appear in her horoscope. Whereas the general signifiers for such problems remain the same, the specific signifiers change from horoscope to horoscope. For example, Venus and Moon represent the reproductive organs of a female, as well as their functions in general. Looking at the specific signifiers, fourth and fifth house deal with reproductive organs, ovulation, menstruation cycle; and with other important functions in a female’s body. Therefore, if in the horoscope of a female, Moon, Venus, fourth house, fifth house, the lord of the fourth house or the lord of the fifth house is afflicted; the female may face problems related to her periods as well as those related to pregnancy. Let’s try to understand this concept with the help of an example.

Suppose, Aries is the ascendant rising in a horoscope, benefic Moon is placed in sixth house of this horoscope in Virgo along with malefic exalted Mercury; benefic Venus is placed in seventh house in Libra, malefic Saturn is placed in fourth house in Cancer, benefic Sun is placed in fifth house in Leo and the rest of the horoscope varies. Analysing this case, it can be seen that Moon being the lord of the fourth house is troubled, whereas Venus, fifth house and Sun are healthy; assuming none of the remaining planets trouble them. In this case, the female native may not be able to ovulate properly and there may also be some issues related to the quality of her eggs as well as with regularity of her periods. As a result, she may experience problems related to conception and she may have to avail medical help. Since Venus and Sun are healthy in this horoscope; she may be able to conceive after medical intervention. In astrological language, this horoscope indicates delay and problems related to conception but such problems may not be high in quantum; and there is no denial of children.

Let’s consider another case. Suppose, benefic Moon is placed in fourth house of a horoscope in Cancer, a malefic combination of retrograde exalted Mercury, Sun and debilitated Venus is placed in sixth house in Virgo and the rest of the horoscope varies. In this case, Moon as well as the fourth house is showing good health but Venus as well as the fifth house is troubled. It means the quality of eggs and functions of ovaries are good but the process of monthly periods and the uterus is troubled. This case is more difficult than the first one. This female native may experience monthly periods which are shorter in duration and which come with excessive pain or excessive bleeding or both. The periods of such female may typically last for three days during most occurrences, instead of running for 5 days. Even medical help may not resolve this problem easily since the uterus of this female is weak as well as troubled. It means that even if the doctors try to use techniques like IVF, this native may get pregnant but she may not be able to hold this pregnancy for long. In this case, more medical treatment, more patience and more effort may be required before the native is able to hold pregnancy and she is finally able to deliver. It means this female native may witness abortions before delivering a live child.

Considering another example, suppose malefic debilitated Moon is placed in eighth house of a horoscope in Scorpio, malefic debilitated Venus placed in sixth house along with malefic exalted retrograde Mercury; a malefic combination of Sun and Saturn is placed in in fifth house in Leo and the rest of the horoscope varies. In this case, Moon, Venus, Sun, fourth house and fifth house are all troubled and that is what makes it a very difficult to handle case; unless there are some supportive factors in the horoscope. This female native may suffer from problems related to the quality of eggs, ovulation, the process of periods and she may also have issues with her uterus. Since all the important organs as well as their functions are troubled; this female may not be able to get pregnant and deliver; even after the best possible medical help. In cases like these, the female native typically experiences menopause between her age of 30 and 40 which means she won’t be able to conceive after this period. Even if IVF technique is tried on this female and she gets pregnant; many complications may arise and the child may either get aborted on its own or the doctors may have to do so; owing to serious medical problems the native may develop due to such pregnancy. It means her reproductive organs may simply not be capable of bearing the load of pregnancy and unless something is done to strengthen them; she may not be able to deliver a child throughout her life.

After we have discussed the medical problems related to conception and pregnancy from astrological viewpoint; let’s see what can be done with the help of remedies. When it comes to a problem like this; only gemstones and Poojas can help the native; as no other remedy may be able to deliver results within a fixed window of time. Gemstones come with the limitation that they can be used for positive planets only and they can’t be used for negative planets. A gemstone simply increases the strength of its corresponding planet and it is incapable of changing the working nature of that planet, which restricts their use for positive planets only. As far as Poojas are concerned, they can provide strength to positive planets and they can also pacify the negative planets so that they may reduce the quantum of problems being created by them.

In the first example, where Moon is troubled and Venus is healthy, we can use the gemstone for Moon which is Pearl, to strengthen Moon so that it starts doing its job in a better way. When that happens, the problems related to the quality of eggs and ovulation are likely to reduce in quantum in a matter of weeks and months; making this female native more capable of conceiving and delivering. At the same time; we will need to perform Poojas for malefic Saturn placed in fourth house so that it may reduce the quantum of problems it is creating inside her body. By doing these remedies and by doing some other remedies if the rest of the horoscope suggests so; this female native should get pregnant and deliver without any major issues.

Looking at the second case, the situation is more complicated. We will need to handle the troublesome combination of Sun, Mercury and Venus with the help of remedies, where we can use gemstone for Venus and Poojas for Sun and Mercury. Since Moon is functioning well, not much is needed to help it. Moving to the third case, this is the most difficult one. This is because none of the gemstones for Venus, Moon and Sun may help in this case since they are all either malefic or trapped in troublesome spots. The only potent channel of remedies open in this case is that of Poojas. Even with the help of Poojas, this female native may take longer to get pregnant and deliver; since the quantum of problems is high and available channels of remedies are fewer. However with continuous application of Poojas, this female native may get pregnant and deliver; when the running time is supportive.

This brings us to another important factor called running time; which affects each and every sphere of our life; positively or negatively; depending on the horoscope. Planets among Navagraha take charges of certain phases of time through Mahadashas, Antardashas, transits and through some other phenomena; with Vimshottari Mahadashas and Antardashas being the most important factors. To have an idea about this concept, if Saturn Antardasha is in effect for a year or two, in case of first and third example; it may become difficult for these female natives to get pregnant and deliver during this time, even with the help of astrological remedies. This is because Saturn is causing problems in childbirth and it commands the running time. It means that the problems created by Saturn will increase in quantum during this phase of time and hence conception may become difficult to achieve and pregnancy may become difficult to sustain. For the first example, the female may be able to conceive and deliver during this period also, with the help of remedies since her problems are not high in quantum, though more remedies may be required to achieve results.

However in the third case, the female native may have to wait until the period of Saturn passes since Saturn is very troublesome in this case and there is not much help from Moon, Venus and Sun also. It means if remedies with regular strength are done in this case; the native may either not be able to conceive or she may witness abortions as she may not be able to sustain pregnancy, until this phase of Saturn is in effect. The first advice in such cases is to wait for this troublesome phase of Saturn to pass. When that is not an option as the native may be pressed on time and this phase may be as long as three years; potent remedies are required. A series of relevant Poojas needs to be engaged in this case on regular basis; until this female conceives, holds pregnancy and then delivers a child. Since this approach needs much more resources for the Poojas to run regularly for a specific period of time; it puts extra financial burden on such native. This is why it is recommended to wait for such time to pass.

Looking at it from the opposite angle, if in the first case, a period of Venus or Moon is in effect for a year or two; the native may be able to conceive and deliver with fewer remedies. This is because the running times will empower Moon or Venus, they will gain more strength and it becomes easier to obtain desired results. It means that though astrological remedies can help in most cases related to childbirth; the amount of time and effort required may vary from case to case; depending on the overall horoscope of the female native as well as on the running times. It is easier to walk to a destination when wind is blowing at your back, giving you an extra push to move faster. However, it takes more time and effort to reach the same destination when strong wind is blowing against you. But then, regardless of the direction of wind; the one who keeps walking will almost always reach.

Similarly, the issues with males, like low sperm count and quality of the sperm can also be diagnosed through their horoscopes. Once the root causes of these issues are found; appropriate astrological remedies can be done to fix them. Therefore, by finding and fixing the issues in the horoscopes of a couple, Vedic astrology can enable them to have children, in majority of such cases.
