Prashna for Lost Articles

Prashna for Lost Articles

http://vijayalur.wordpress.com/2014/11/13/prashna-for-lost-articles/

Most common query I get is related to the lost article and its subsequent recovery. I always use the method described in Daivajna Vallabha byVaraha Mihira. It has always given me extremely correct results and I recommend that budding astrologists try out this before foraying into complex methods.

I will give the planetary combinations as enunciated in Daivajna Vallabha in the succeeding paragraphs.

Basics

1. The Lagna gives the direction, place and time of theft.
2. Navamsha Lagna gives the nature of the lost article.
3. The Drekkana of Lagna gives the form of thief.
4. If Lagna and Navamsha Lagna is
   • • Fixed signs – the stolen article is in the same place and a person known to the querist has stolen.
     • Movable signs – some external person has stolen.
     • Dual signs – Neighbour has stolen and the article has gone outside of the house.
5. The direction where the stolen article has gone is to be told from the planet placed in the quadrants. If it is not possible, the direction is to be told from the sign of the ascendant. The distance is to be told from the number of Navamsha elapsed. This number will give the distance in Yojana. One Yojana may be taken roughly as equal to 8 miles.
6. The caste, colour, qualities and form of thief will correspond to the nature of the strongest planet placed in the 7th house. If it is an odd sign and there is under aspect of a male planet, the thief is a male otherwise a female.
7. The age of the thief corresponds to the planet in 7th House and these are Moon (Baby),Mars (Boy), Mercury (Teenager), Venus (Young man), Jupiter (Middle aged person), Sun (Old man) and Saturn (Very old man)

Combinations for recovery of lost article

• Benefic in ascendant and aspected by another benefic.
• Venus in the second house and Jupiter in the 12th house with a benefic in the ascendant
• Full Moon in the ascendant or if there is a benefic in a Shirshodaya Rashi aspected by a benefic or if there is a very strong benefic in the eleventh house. Recovered quickly.
• Benefic in the second, third, or fourth house or if the same be in the fourth, seventh and the tenth houses, the stolen article will be recovered without any doubt.
• Full Moon in the ascendant and aspected by Jupiter or Venus or if benefics be placed in quadrants and Upachaya Sthana or if benefics be placed in the second and Upachaya Sthana.
• Full Moon, Jupiter, Venus or Mercury is placed in the ascendant.
• Benefics are placed in the seventh house.
• Benefic in the 2nd or 3rd house from the ascendant or from the 4th house.

Combinations for non-recovery of lost article

• If the ascendant of query falls in the sign of a malefic, aspected by a malefic.
• If the 7th house falls in the sign Leo, Scorpio, or Aquarius and these signs contain  their own Navamshas and if the 7th house is aspected by malefics or if Mars is placed in the 8th house in these Navamshas.

When there is a malefic in the 8th house and if the 2nd or 4th house is occupied by strong benefic like Jupiter the wife will predecease the husband, since 8th house aspect by Jupiter even if there are malefic in the 7th house; and if the 8th house in the horoscope of the girl if there is a strong and powerful benefic in her 9th house she will have both good marital life and prosperous children.

If 6 th & 8 th house lords are in conjunction and occupy the 7th house in a female horoscope if moon with no digit strength occupies 7th house as lord of the 6th which will happen only if lagna is Kumbha, if mars and Jupiter occupy 7th or if Saturn is alone in the 7th or if Saturn is alone in the 7th house aspect by 8th lord she will become a widow.

If Saturn is in the 8th house aspect by strong malefic in a female horoscope she may not get married. There are some exceptions if other favorable factors in the horoscope are indicated.  

If in a male horoscope :  

Saturn in Pisces (Meenam) as 7 th house, and if the Star Sun is in the Lagna he will lose his wife and this can happen only if lagna is in Virgo or Kanni.  

Jupiter is in the 7th in Virgo or Kanni and there are malefic in the 4th house from lagna, the wife will meet with an early death.  

Sun and Venus are conjoined in the 5th, 7th, and 9th house from Lagna; the wife will have deformity of limbs.

Sun and Rahu or Ketu are in the 7th House he will loose all his wealth either through the bad character of his wife or sickly wife.  

If moon and Saturn are in the 7th he will not have progeny. It is also likely that he may not get married.

If lord of the 8th is in the seventh, he will lose his wife very early.  

If Mars and Saturn are in the seventh in Cancer, he will get a good and beautiful wife. This can happen only if the lagna is Makara or Capricorn.  

The lord of the seventh house when placed in the sixth, eighth or twelfth from lagna or ascendant but not in his swakshetram (own sign) or exaltation sign ucha will afflict his wife's health.  

If Venus known as Sukran, The Goddess of Love,  is joined with a malefic planet the persons wife will undergo serious afflictions even to the extent of affecting her longevity the result will be the same if Venus or Sukran occupies her debilitation sign neecha Rasi or an enemy sign or asthagatha combust.  

If Saturn occupies eighth or tenth house in a male horoscope it will afflict his wife's longevity.  

If in a male horoscope Rahu occupies the seventh house from the lagna or ascendant or Venus or the moons sign it is said to cause his wife's death in earlier stage.

If in a male horoscope weak moon is in the 5th house from lagna and if lagna, seventh and twelfth houses are occupied by other malefic he will neither have wife nor children. 

The above are a brief compilation of most vital questions that arises while comparing horoscope for marriage match. Please do not just come to conclusion that these are the only things that one need to check or accept. There are many more explanations and exceptions that speaks volume of other matters. Hence it is always suggested to consult an experienced astrologer for other combinations for a suitable star match for vivaha - marriage match.

Planets - Astrology Exaltation and Debilitation

http://www.futurepointindia.com/articles/astrology/advancedastrology/exaltation-and-debilitation-of-planets.aspx

A simple story for remembering Exaltation and Debilitation of Planets in Astrology

Exaltation means being in high position, exhileration and strength. Debility means weakness, and humility .

The zodiac is the planetary cabinet. The first house or sign should be occupied by protocol by the King as the Ist citizen. Sun is the king of planetary cabinet. Hence he should be exalted on his thrown in the Ist sign Aries. A king enjoys power and position only when attended by the commander in chief Mars and the servant Saturn. Aries is the sign owned by Mars, the commander in chief of the planetary cabinet and Saturn the servant is debilitated (humbled) in Aries due to the authority of the King and the commander in chief. The King is attended on either side (Pisces and Taurus by Venus the courtesan and the Queen Moon).

The place next to the King shall go only to the Queen. Hence Moon is exalted in Taurus. Sun owns Leo and Moon owns Cancer and get exalted in Aries and Taurus respectively. Next to Queen no one can sit. Hence Gemini has neither exaltation or debilitation of any planet in it. Cancer is owned by the Queen (Queen's place) Moon. Jupiter is the preceptor and further has a respectable place in the Queen's palace when he visits Cancer. Hence Jupiter is exalted in Cancer. Mythologically Moon (as male disciple of Jupiter) has an episode with Tara, the wife of Jupiter, which culminated in the birth of a child Budha. Mars the commander in chief visits the Queen's palace to carry out the commands or run errands of the Queen. Hence he is debilitated in Cancer. In the King's palace of Leo no planet can be exalted. Hence free from exaltation or debilitation. Virgo is owned by Mercury. Mercury is the finance minister in the planetary cabinet hence exalted in Virgo. Venus the courtesan is debilitated in the house of the finance minister, personally visiting for financial aid.

Libra is owned by courtesan (damsel). When the king visits the court damsel, naturally he is accompanied by the servant Saturn. In the house of a damsel the king looses his authority. Hence is debilitated in Libra. The servant Saturn is the master of the situation (arranging meeting of Damsel Venus and King Sun) and is exalted. Scorpio is owned by Mars. When Moon the Queen visits the quarters of subordinate commander in chief, she is humbled. Hence is debilitated in Scorpio. In the mansion of the Guru Jupiter no planet is exalted or debilitated. Capricorn is the quarters of the servant and soldier Saturn. Mars visits the barracks of soldier. He the commander in chief visits with authority. Hence is exalted. Jupiter the preceptor and prime minister by visiting the quarters of a servant looses his dignity and status.

Hence Jupiter is debilitated in the house of Saturn - Capricorn Aquarius also is owned by Saturn. There is no debility or exaltation of planets in it. Pisces is owned by Jupiter. Venus, the damsel, being in the house of respected Jupiter in the proximity of the king In Pisces naturally has power hence is exalted. Finance Minister, and in the proximity of the king is subdued of his authority and hence is debilitated in Pisces.

This is one line of explanation of exaltation and debilitation of planets on the basis of planet politics.

Another simple Story.

Sun the the king of Planets is in Aries, Next to him is Queen in Taurus.  No one can sit next her, hence Gemini is blank.  Later, Rajaguru Jupiter is seated on Cancer (tortoise type) chair.  Next is the King's room, and hence no body can be there.  Next is the Daughter 's (kanya) room, where the youngest son, Mercury is exalted.  Next the office room/ Judiciary room (Libra), wherein the servant, Saturn  is cleaning.  Next you see Scorpio, sting or the jeep is for Military, where Mars exalts.  Finally the young attractive daughter of King, Venus is next to King on other side, at Pisces.

The next line is nakshatra. The Nakshatra name is followed by N: The time next to the nakshtra indicates when it is going to end. The same rules for tithi timings applies to nakshatras as well. (Rohinii 09:02:42). Nakshatra is also known as star. so if you are looking for today's star use this one. Please avoid Aswini nakshatra on Tuesday, Rohini nakshatra on Saturday, and Pushyami nakshatra on Thrusday for all graha pravesha, marraige, and travel muhurthas. Although these combination causes Amrit Siddhi yoga but, the same combination is not good for above said purposes. Unlike other online panchangam, all times presented in our panchangam have been adjusted for daylight saving time for North American/Candaian Panchangam. Please manually adjust for other places in the world where daylight saving time applies. A nakshatra is one of the 27 or 28 divisions of the sky, identified by the prominent star(s) in them, that the Moon passes through during its monthly cycle, as used in Hindu astronomy and astrology. Therefore, each represents a division of the ecliptic similar to the zodiac (13°20’ each instead of the 30° for each zodiac sign). The orbit of the moon is 27.3 days, so the Moon takes approximately one day to pass through each nakshatra.

Tara bala:  To find a day is suitable for your muhurtha tarabalam is required. Count from your birth nakshatra to nakshatra of the muhurtha day you are seeking. Please avoid 1-3-5-7-10-12-14-16-19-21-23-25 nakshatra counting from your birth nakshatra. For example: If your birth nakshatra is swati, and today's nakshatra is aswhini, now counting from swati to ashwini it gives us the count of 14th Which is not a good tarabalam. Hence till ashwini nakshatra prevails that time is bad.
