| 1.What
is a Horoscope ?
A
Horoscope is the symbolic interpretation in form of a table (format changes from
country to country as well as culture to culture) for the placement of planets
in the zodiac for a particular place at a particular time and day.
Its
equivalent would be a snap shot of the sky at the same specified time of birth.
Since
the system of Indian Astrology recognizes the heavenly bodies in our solar system
while taking the rest of the constellations and galaxies as reference points in
relation to the planets, we judge the strength of the planets based on the constellation
they are moving against. For
the purpose of uniformity we fix the point rising on the Eastern Horizon (called
the Ascendant) so as to read the charts with constant values for judgement.
A horoscope would be exclusive to you hence an individual character and destiny
for all living beings.
2.
What is Mangal Dosha?(The evil effects of Planet Mars) Mangal
Dosha is a generic astrological term for Malefic ( Bad ) planets placed in certain
positions as well as combinations which hamper the married as well as romantic
life of a person. Mangal Dosha also contributes to a persons personality and usually
makes a person with such affliction in their birth chart , not very adjusting
in life and with some character defect which usually causes adversities between
partners.
The planets involved are MARS ( At the head of the list
called Mangal in Hindi ,the common language of India,hence named after him ),
SATURN, RAHU ( Dragon’s Head) and KETU ( Dragon’s name ). These planets when they
effect any of the following areas : Family, Happiness, Longevity of spouse, Fulfillment
in sexual matters they are generically put up as Manglik Dosha.
The effects of this dosha vary as follows :
Dissatisfaction
in married life, Inability to find a person suitable for marriage, Incompatible
sexual preference, Inadequate longevity of spouse, low adjustment potential, lack
of satisfaction with own spouse and hence looking for other avenues,frequent quarrels
and fights in domestic life, Delay in marriage are a few of the effects of this
dosha.
A word of caution through, just having Manglik dosha will not
give all these bad effects and even the intensity will differ from person to person.
So we would advise that such judgement is left to the experts and you do not fall
prey to any conclusions.
3.What
is Sade Sati?(Seven and a half years of Saturn) The
period is caused in Indian Astrology when Saturn transits 12th, 1st
and 2nd houses from Moon sign This period is called Sade Sati:
Sade Sati is a very dreadful word for the common masses. It occurs after
avery 30 years in life.People go by mere traditional convention and general belief
that Sade Sati period brings dissatisfaction, disappointments, depression, differences,
disputes, disharmony and undesirable results ,but actually this is not the case.Sade
Sati consists of 3 cycles of 2 1/2 years called Dhaia (2 ½ years) when Saturn
transits in 12th, 1st and 2nd houses from Moon
sign. The three cycles are explained below as per standard dictum and should not
be accepted as such, subject to other conditions laid down below: IST

death. The eyesight of the native can be affected necessitating the use of spectacles
.Saturn here puts era expenditure.
The position of Saturn may affect
the financial position as Saturn aspects 2ndhouse, it may retard environmental
activities. If in a birth chart Saturn is passing through the last phase of life
may force native to get sanyas VIZ one will be detached from his or her
family, wealth, home etc.Fore saking of these worldly things amounts to Sanyas.
In addition to the above during this period, the father of native
may have set back or reversal, loss etc. in his profession, and will lead to an
extra, unwanted and uncalled for expenditure which may become unbearable for the
native.

health, happiness, loss of position, increased expenditure, financial stress and
physical weakness might be felt. Gain of wealth from others, which will be lost,
deception through wicked men.May cause death of children too if other combinations

4.What is Kalsarpa Yoga?
Kalasarpa Yoga is formed by the situation of all planets
within Rahu ( Dragon’s head ) and Ketu ( Dragon’s Tail ).Here Rahu ( Dragon’s
Head ) must be considered as moving in an anti-clockwise direction.
The effects
of this combination is general weakness of the birth chart with the good effects
of favourable planets curtailed while the bad effects of evil planets are magnified.
The combination works on a lifelong basis however the majority of the effects
are felt by 36 years of age and thereafter the person progresses well in life.
5. Do gems really have an effect?How do they work? Precious
stones when properly selected and used ward off evils indicated by the planets.Different
planets have different stones.A proper use of them will also help the native in
favorable situations or enterprises.The gems pertaining to a particular planet
concentrates the positive energies as well as the specific color of the planet
and funnels the effects in the body of the person wearing it by using the system
of a filter to allow that particular energy & color to get absorbed in the
body.
6. What are the principles
involved when mass tragedies like war, earth quakes take place?
When
a country is subjected to evil rays the individual has no separate independent
existence.He becomes a part of the whole and an astrologer is expected to keep
a vigilant eye on the directions in the national chart as well as the effects
of other celestial phenomena with the help of mundane astrology (which
studies the influence of New Moons, Eclipses, Ingresses, planetary conjunctions
and comets) upon the fate of nations, countries and peoples. |
