Mamta Banerjee- The Main Focus:Astroanalyis

Mamta Banerjee- The Main Focus:Astroanalyis

Mamta Banerjee was born on 5^th January 1955 at Calcutta in West Bengal. She is the founder and chief executive of Trinamool Congress. She is noted for her opposition to Special Economic Zones and industrialization at the cost of agriculture and agricultural laborers.

West Bengal is under the rule of the left front government from about 30 years and Mamta Banerjee is waging a relentless battle against the government since then. Trinamool had only one seat in the last Lok Sabha but her fortunes improved dramatically in the 2009 parliamentary elections. Her party Trinamool Congress in alliance with the Indian National Congress and SUCI made a huge dent in the left dominated West Bengal.

Trinamool congress performed well in the parliamentary election, bagging 19 MP seats. This was the best performance by any opposition party in West Bengal since start of left regime. Till date the congress victory of 16 seats in 1984 on sympathy vote after the assassination of Mrs. Indira Gandhi, was considered the best opposition show.

As a railway minister Mamta Banerjee presented her first budget in 2000 under the Prime Minister ship of Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee. In it she fulfilled many of the promises to her home state. She introduced 19 new trains from 2000-2001 fiscal year. But, the focus was mainly on West Bengal

Saturn is right now transiting from the 4^th house from the natal Moon in her natal horoscope. Jupiter is transiting from the 10^th house, indicating that even though she has got the railway ministry by her excellently good performance in the 2009 parliamentary election; her heart is still in the electoral politics of West Bengal. She may be eyeing to overthrow the left front government for which a final push is required because the government and the party in West Bengal has suffered a series of reverses. The Chief Minister-ship of West Bengal may be her main agenda.

The transit of Jupiter and Saturn are both influencing the 10^th house from her natal Moon. This indicates that the electoral fortune for her will be good even in the assembly elections of West Bengal. Hence, it is likely that Mamta Banerjee will use the portfolio of Ministry of Railways to give sops to West Bengal to further her electoral prospects.

Saturn is the yogakaraka planet from her rashi. This connects Mamta Banerjee to the poor and grass root politics. Hence, her stint as a railway minister and the railway budget is likely to bring good schemes for poor people. Railway Ministry will not only be treated as a profit making organization, it will also be used to help upliftment of masses by providing them with cheap means of transport and more travel facilities. The schemes for youth and for the poor people having an income of less than Rs 1,500/- per month are in the same category.

The railways have been performing well for the last few years with lots of surplus created every year. The surpluses may be affected by the implementation of the 6^th pay panel awards. But, this is not the headache of the railway minister. She has not increased passenger fares and freight charges. However, the railway minister should focus on increasing the length of the railway system across the country. The length has remained almost stagnant from the time the British left the country in 1947. She needs to focus her eyes on the entire nation because development of infrastructure is urgently needed. She is a minister of the leading infrastructure sector of the country.

Taliban- Potential threat or blessing in disguise?: Astro Analysis

Taliban- Potential threat or blessing in disguise?: Astro Analysis

South Asia comprises of India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bhutan and Maldives out of which India and Pakistan have the most important and dominant presence. The recent transits of planets have triggered many changes in the political arena of all these countries. Sri Lanka is crushing the LTTE causing a concern in India as well. Pakistan is passing through one of the worst offensive from Taliban and they are fighting a war to survive.

The bottom line is that even though boundaries were made to separate two nations, the regional base and common roots between these neighboring counties affect the polity in these nations. Imposition of Jazia Tax on Sikh community in Taliban controlled areas in Pakistan made India appeal to the Government of Pakistan to interfere in this matter. Tamilian issue in Sri Lanka has been one of the key election issues in Tamil Nadu politics.

I want to emphasize that even though nations are separated by their geographical boundaries, the problems originating from a common root can be solved only through mutual negotiations. No problem in today’s world can be left isolated. Hence, the concern in Pakistan directly affects India as well.

Transit of Saturn in Leo rashi sets new trend. The aspect of Jupiter from 3^rd May 2009 on Saturn indicates that the politics of hate has to be substituted by politics of tolerance and cooperation. What is relevant here is that US President Mr. Barack Obama has also said to Pakistan President Mr. Asif Ali Zardari that India is not a threat to Pakistan. The real threat to Pakistan is Taliban.

If statements of Mr. Asif Ali Zardari have to be believed, this will perhaps be the first occasion when Pakistan will seek cooperation both from USA and India for combating the menace of Taliban. Mr. Zardari has also said that after the election and formation of a new government, he will seek betterment of economic ties with India.

Rahu and Ketu axis is afflicting natal moon and 3^rd house in India’s horoscope. The 4^th lord Sun is also afflicted in transit. The result of this transit is that there shall be attempts of infiltration from Indian border. Terrorists can make attempts to get into the country and create disturbance.

Simultaneously, Rahu and Ketu transit from 4^th house in Pakistan’s horoscope indicates that militants are posing a threat to the integrity and sovereignty of Pakistan.

Hence, India and Pakistan both make a perfect team to settle these issues together and they may combat militancy, poverty and other problems affecting their growth. Mutual hatred will not fulfill the needs of the rapidly growing population of these two countries. The welfare of the people in both of them depends on economic growth.

Taliban issue is creating a perfect platform from where both the countries can work together for a better tomorrow. Hence, Taliban can prove to be a blessing in disguise and opening up of a new chapter in India – Pakistan relationship.

Rahu and Film Industry: Astro Analysis

Rahu and Film Industry: Astro Analysis

 “Ardhkayam Mahavirya Chandraadityavimardnam

Shinghikagarv Sambhutam Tam Rahum Pranmamyham”

 – Rahu Mantra

Rahu and Ketu have been considered as Grahas in Vedic astrology. They have no physical identity. They are only mathematically calculated sensitive points having immense influence on the natives of the earth. Commonly Rahu and Ketu are considered Chaya Graha (shadow planets).

Astrological researches suggest that Rahu plays an important role for people who have connections with film industry and glamour world. But, deeper analysis suggests that well placed Rahu under good influence in relation to other Grahas, make film stars achieve iconic status in film line and electronic media.

However, wrong influence of Rahu (i.e., Rahu under malefic influence vis-à-vis other Grahas) makes people famous for wrong reasons. Well placed Rahu becomes instrumental in elevating the person to higher level who gets recognized for extraordinary talent. Under wrong influence it also links people to scandals and such persons become famous for negative roles in society, media and film line.

I am giving four examples of film artists – two from Hollywood and two from Bollywood to understand the role of Rahu in their respective successes.

Angelina Jolie: She was born when Gemini lagna was rising in the eastern horizon. Rahu in her horoscope is placed in the 6^th house (good placement as per classical astrology) indicating success in glamour industry. The most important thing to be noted is that Jupiter aspects Rahu giving it mildness and direction to do good.

Madonna: She was born when Leo was rising in the eastern horizon. In her case Rahu is placed in 3^rd house (good placement of Rahu) in the horoscope. This gave her an iconic status in film industry. However, Rahu is afflicting Jupiter and is bereft of any other benefic influence. This was the reason why the personal life of Madonna was full of controversies.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan: She was born when Virgo was rising in the eastern horizon. In her horoscope Rahu and Venus are conjunct together in the 4^th house. This combination gave her success in film industry as well as bestowed on her an iconic status in film and glamour world. However, Rahu and Moon combination caused failures in love life creating controversies in her personal life.

Rekha:  She was born when Sagittarius was rising in the eastern horizon. In the horoscope both Mars and Rahu are placed in the lagna giving her success in glamour and film world. However, the marital life of the native was adversely affected because of this combination. There were personal tragedies in family life because Rahu is bereft of benefic influence.

Though, Rahu helps the native in rising in the world of glamour and films, for happiness in marital life, Rahu can be a serious handicap. Rahu gives independence and glamour, but for happiness in marital life there should be commitment and continuity. This is the reason why the married life of film stars and celebrities remains disturbed generally.

The role of Rahu is very important for success in film and glamour world. Without the grace of Rahu one cannot dream of getting world-wide recognition. Right now Rahu is transiting in Capricorn in conjunction with Jupiter which will help many budding stars achieve celebrity status in the year 2009.

Venus and Organized Militancy: Astro Analysis

Venus and Organized Militancy: Astro Analysis

“Him Kundmrinalabham Daityanam Paramam Gurum

Sharvshastrapravaktaram Bhargavam Pranamamyaham”

– Shukra Mantra

Vedic Astrology recognizes two important Gurus in the world.

Jupiter (Guru):

Jupiter is the Guru of Devtas. His father is Maharishi Angira. Maharishi’s wife got the knowledge and procedures of performing the vrata from Sanat Kumars for having a son. She performed the vrata with complete devotion and the Gods were satisfied and a son was born in their house. The son was the lord of wisdom, Jupiter.

Venus (Shukracharya):

Shukracharya is the son of Sage Bhrigu. He is the preceptor of the demons. Shukra was the only one considered worthy of being granted the knowledge of Mrit – Sanjivani vidya by Lord Shiva. This knowledge is supposed to bring back even the dead to life.

Unlike Jupiter, Venus had a tougher role to play because his followers (the demons) had no means of understanding God and their own goodness. Thus, they were not qualified to achieve salvation on their own after death. Hence, Shukracharya had to plan Mukti (salvation) for his disciples. He selected a simple modus-operandi. He undertook the task of guiding his followers to fight against God and get Mukti (salvation) in the process because even if they get killed in the fight, the killer will be God himself.

Shukracharya is the most knowledgeable Guru. He is aware of the deficiencies of his followers and knows how to use these deficiencies for the advantage of demons. Instead of running away from the issues or disowning his followers because of their limited knowledge and quality, he undertook to help his devotees get God’s grace by encouraging them for tapasya (Penance) and getting Vardaan (blessings) from God to become more powerful. It was necessary to fight with Devtas (Demi Gods).

In Hindu Mythology we see that demons like Ravana, Kansh etc got Mukti (salvation) from God himself. However, they got Mukti by instigating war with God (on the advice of Shukracharya).

In 2009 the King of the year is Venus. The ruler will be Shukracharya who will push his disciples towards the path of salvation. We can expect many terrorist attacks in the name of God or holy wars. In Vedic astrology Venus is friendly to Saturn, Rahu and Mercury. Venus is going to extend help to Rahu and Saturn and support rebellion.

Venus is right now exalted (placed in the sign of Jupiter) and Jupiter is right now debilitated (placed in Capricorn). Organized militancy may get a fillip during the reign of Venus in 2009. However, since Shukracharya is a Guru, the common man should remain safe.

In the year 2009, worship of Shukracharya, Shani Dev and recitation of Narayan Kavach will work as a protective shield as per the prescribed principles of Vedic astrology.

Venus & Economic Boom in India: Astro Analysis

Venus & Economic Boom in India: Astro Analysis

“Him Kundmrinalabham Daityanam Paramam Gurum

Sharvshastrapravaktaram Bhargavam Pranamamyaham”

– Shukra Mantra

Venus in Vedic astrology is considered to be like Maa Lakshmi also. The Mahadasa of Venus bestows on people prosperity, happiness and growth.

India got its independence on 15^th August 1947 at 12:00 AM in Delhi. Taurus was the lagna at the time of birth. In Vedic astrology Venus is the lord of Taurus rashi. At the time of birth of Independent India, the most important planet for India was Venus.

Venus as the Lagna lord of India’s horoscope is placed in the 3^rd house. 3^rd house in predictive astrology signifies Media, Information Technology, Communication, Missile Technology etc.

Venus signifies communication, conveyance, aircrafts, fashion, beauty, tourism etc. Hence, India’s horoscope had an inherent promise that India will grow tremendously in these spheres. Only the right time was required for this growth. Dasa unfolds the inherent promise of the horoscope. Hence, dasa of Venus was awaited to give a push to India’s growth on these lines.

Venus Mahadasa started on India from 12^th September 1989 and would continue till 12^th September 2009. In predictive astrology the dasa of Lagna lord is the most significant period in the life of an Individual or a Nation.

We can count the achievements of India’s growth from 1989 onwards as follows:-

1) Boom in Information Technology intensified after 1990 and saw the rise of many world level Indian companies like Infosys, Wipro, TCS, Satyam etc. The growth in this sector is linked with both third house and Venus.

2) Boom in airlines industry saw the rise of many private players like Jet Airways, Kingfisher Airlines, Deccan Aviation etc.

3) Boom in Fashion Industry and beauty pageant also started after 1989. Indian fashion and models got international recognition. Many beauties from India were elected as Miss Universes and Miss Worlds. This is because of the grace of Venus as the Mahadasa lord.

4) Communication sector got the biggest fillip in the Mahadasa of Venus. Many telecom giants emerged in India during the last 2 decades changing the concept of telecommunication. Even a common man uses mobile these days.

5) Missile Technology and Satellite launching technology has been perfected during the last two decades. India became the fifth country in the world to put a satellite in the orbit of the Moon for sending information about Moon’s surface. India has been able to develop missiles like Agni, Prithvi, Dhanush etc for its self defense.

6) India has developed as an important tourist destination. The Hotel industry in the country has grown up to an international level. Venus signifies both tourism and hotel industry.

7) Media power has become more dominant, with respect to both print and Television. The strong 3^rd house in India’s horoscope gives India an Independent and strong media presence.

8) Diamond is the stone of Venus. In the Mahadasa of Venus from September 1989 onwards diamond industry grew to a very high level. The gems and jewellery companies outperformed in this period and this industry became the biggest foreign exchange earner for the nation for a few years. This industry is in difficulty now as Venus is slowly fading as the Mahadasa will end soon.

As the Venus Mahadasa ends on 12^th September 2009, the Mahadasa of Sun will start in the horoscope of India from 12^th September 2009. It will continue for 6 years i.e. till 12^th September 2015. This period can bring new sectors in limelight like Power, Nuclear Technology, Education, Yoga and Meditation, Spiritualism and Astrology, Gold, Ruby and Ornament business. Sun being the most dominant force for the coming 6 years, there will be strong attraction for Government jobs. Young people may also be attracted towards politics.

Ashtakoot Milan – some Anomalies

Ashtakoot Milan – some Anomalies

Traditional astrologers have been using the method of Ashtakoot Milan for matching the horoscopes of boys and girls for marriage.

This method is based on Rashi and Nakshatra of Moon in the horoscope of both the boy and the girl.

Astrologers take into account Manglik dosha caused by Mars but not by other malefics like Sun, Saturn and Rahu / Ketu.

It also does not take into account lagna of both boy and girl and presence of malefics in lagna – 7th house, 6 – 12 axis and 2 – 8 axis which are important for any married life. It takes into account relative position of moon in the horoscopes of boy / girl known as Bhakoot dosha.

However, it does not take into account relative position of Venus (karaka of marriage), Jupiter (karaka for children) and Sun (karaka for personality). Certain cases have been observed where the Guna- Milan is around 10 – 12 but marital life has been successful for around 30- 40 years.

Retrograde Saturn and Divine Justice: Astro Analysis

Retrograde Saturn and Divine Justice: Astro Analysis

Vedic astrology recognizes 3 types of planetary movements:-

Sama (Normal): In this movement planets move at natural pace. Normally, in mundane astrology this transit signifies all around normalcy and happiness. This is the period when there is quiet development in the economy.

Atichari (Fast): In this movement planets move at relatively faster pace (as if planets are in a hurry of delivering something).This period can trigger boom, or fast growth of economy. However, this is also the period when people start getting over confident.

Vakri (Retrograde): In this movement the planets move backwards (apparently, when viewed from earth). This is the period when deeds done in the past are brought to light. This is the period when the planet is in the mood to review past deeds. The Saturn became retrograde from 1st January 2009 and will remain in retrogression till 17th May 2009.

Retrograde planets have been the subject of research for astrologers over many years. It is the experience of many researchers that during the dasa of retrograde planet, a person can have remembrance of his past life or past deeds.

In mundane astrology, it is believed that retrograde planets have a major role to play in administration of justice. They give us a chance to review our policies. For example, just a few months back, everyone was seeing only the rosy side of privatization. However, the fallout of events after failure of many companies and banks world-wide has put a question mark on the policy of privatization. The belief of people in government banks has increased after seeing the plight of private banks particularly in USA where many banks have gone belly-up.

In my earlier articles I have been emphasizing the role of Saturn in various aspects of human life. The reason for so much emphasis on Saturn is because Saturn is the slowest moving planet among the Navgrahas (which Hindus follow in Vedic Astrology). Being the slowest moving planet it has been assigned the role of Kaal (time). Hence, it is always the transit of Saturn that sets a trend and is instrumental in administration of justice.

Saturn is transiting from its enemy’s sign Leo right now causing problems to people well placed in public, business and film lines. To make the matter worse, Saturn is retrograde right now. Hence, the wrong doings of the past are getting exposed.

This is the period when books of various companies have been opened for scrutiny. The beauty of the thing is that investigating agencies have not raised fingers against them. This is happening spontaneously. The clandestine activities in neighboring counties are coming to light.  The mutiny in Bangladesh Rifles and mass murder of officers under alleged instigations has also come to light. Investigations going for long on scams in the country are getting exposed. High placed individuals are being brought to justice.

It seems that Saturn in retrograde state is keen to bring, high placed individuals who have exploited their position for all types of wrong doings, to justice. Therefore, Saturn is working as a divine weapon right now because it is transiting in Leo represented by Sun which is the symbol of power. Hence, people placed in power are subject to divine scrutiny.

Resolve Marital Problems

Resolve Marital Problems Have we taken birth earlier in this World? Who are we? Why are we? These are the basic questions that has to be understood by any soul that incarnates in this world. Many faiths believe that we take numerous births in this universe till the time our soul reaches its zenith and we take salvation. It is however believed that Sadguru’s (spiritual masters) are unborn in this world, they just assume their body by use of their yogamaya for the betterment of their devotees and for the purpose of doing the work in the world as per the direction of God. Normally, a Sadguru never gets emancipation from this world as he has to come on this world again and again for the betterment of his devotee and to guide them to Mukti. Hence, a Sadguru is by nature a Mukt Aatma (free spirit), having the completeness of Vairagya and Virakti i.e., they are free from the world even when they are in the world. When I see the lotus feet of my Sadguru Shri Sai Nath of Shirdi I feel grateful to him. It is only because of his grace that I am able to bring the secrets of spiritual healing for betterment of people. How do we use the grace of God or Sadguru in resolving our life problems? Sometimes back I had a conversation with a saintly person who did a reading for one of his disciple. His disciple was a lady in middle age (some 45 years of age) who was unmarried, without a family and love. When he asked the reason why this lady was suffering? The saint got a reply from his masters that this lady did not take care of her husband in last birth, rebuked him and never offered any food to him, her husband cursed her, and because of this curse the lady is not getting married in this life. The observation here is that a person can have a bad marital life because of some curses that the soul is carrying from past life. So the first step of our guidance is to see what has happened in the past life (this can only be done by the grace of Sadguru and angels) and see what can be done to solve the problems from its origin. The second step is to help the soul release the guilt, unforgiveness and ideas that are not letting the person enjoy his / her marital life. Here, there is a huge difference as knowing of guilt and feeling of guilt attracts heavenly punishments but releasing the guilt with the grace of Sadguru and angels helps in freeing the soul from excess karmic imbalances. This is called detoxifying the soul. The angels and Sadguru can help in bringing loving thoughts of hope, love and compassion in life and can help in releasing hopelessness, faithlessness and other negative aspects. The net result is that a person can have a good life after his healing. Hence, our approach is to heal the problems by using time tested methods of spiritual healing and angel guidance.

Divisional Chart

Divisional Charts

 

Bowing at the lotus feet of The Lord of the three worlds, the omnipotent and the omnipresent Sri Sai Nath of Shirdi. I would like to share with you (with due humility) my understanding with regard to divisional charts.

Astrologers of maturity have quite often said that a shastri is one who can efficiently use the shodashvarga as given by Mahirishi Parashara. It is further said that a person who uses the birth chart and Navamsha for predictions, is an ardhshastri. Readers using only the birth chart may at some point of time miss the finer picture.

It has been a habit among recent astrologers to completely ignore the divisional charts while giving predictions. The following reasons can be cited for this practice:

a. The time of birth required should be correct for the effective use of such divisional charts. (This is generally difficult to come by, nowadays).

b. The calculation and interpretation of such charts require much skill and only a genuine astrologer can justify it.

c. This slows the speed of analysis and predicting as lots of data has to be filtered before an astrologer can reach a conclusion. Normally, this does not suit stereotype predictions. Also, those who come for consultations normally have no patience for a detailed analysis.

The secret of reading any divisional chart is to read it as an independent chart and examine the Avashtha of the various Karakas therein. In the absence of the exact time of birth in some exceptional cases, divisional chart can be examined from the birth lagna itself (rashi – tulaya). The applicability of the divisional charts is given below:

1.Birth Chart:
This chart is of considerable importance since this is where the analysis of a horoscope starts. All other divisional charts have to show effects subject to the overall promise of the birth chart. In short all divisional charts are supplementary to the birth chart. Even analysis of the birth chart is enough for giving predictions. However, it is always advisable to consult other divisional charts to verify the replication of a promise.

2.Hora:
Generally seen for ascertaining the quantum of wealth and the way the person is going to make his earning. Male planets in the Sun’s Hora are seen as beneficial while female planets are effective in the Moon’s Hora. If maximum planets are in the Sun’s Hora it is said that the native earns money as a result of hard work but the quantum of wealth may be very good. If Moons Hora predominates, the earning will be relatively easy. However, this is subject to the Dhan yoga formed in the horoscope.

3.Dreshkona:
Generally seen for knowing the happiness and promise from siblings of the native. However, it becomes very important for longevity analysis. As it is normally said that the lord of the 22nd Dreshkona is not good for the general health and longevity of the native. Apart from this, the planets falling in Sarpa Dreshkona and Phasha Dreshkona is not considered good for the native.

4.Chaturthamsha:
Generally seen for ascertaining the overall happiness of the native, mainly with regard to the possibility of having immovable assets, particularly property. This chart can also be seen for the possibility of foreign immigration or change of residence. Marriage of a girl child (as it normally makes the girl change her house) can also be read from this horoscope.

5.Saptamsha:
This is to be seen for confirming conception of children and the pleasures derived from having children. The Karaka and the avashtha of the fifth lord of the birth chart and the placement and influences on the fifth house and the fifth lord of the said divisional chart have to be observed.

6.Navamsha:
This is the most important horoscope. This is used to see the actual strength of a planet. An exalted planet in the birth chart (if it debilitates in the Navamsha) may not give very good results or its effects can get diluted. However, a planet getting empowered in Navamsha by getting vargottama or by getting exalted will give good results. Apart from this, Navamsha is a horoscope that is used to find out about the spouse of the native. Some secrets of predictive astrology are hidden in the use of this divisional chart. Normally, no prediction should be made without confirming it from the Navamsha. The lord of 64th Navamsha from the Moon becomes highly important for the calculation of Longevity and the Maraka dasa.

7.Dashamsha:
This chart is seen generally to get a clear picture of the profession of the native. The placement and avashtha of the tenth lord of the birth chart is important here. Apart from that the rashi rising in the 10th house of this divisional chart and the influence on the 10th house has also to be considered, to judge the profession and any professional growth or fall of the native. Like any other divisional chart this one has to be collaborated with the basic chart.

8.Dwadashamsha:
This chart is generally seen for understanding the benefits arising out of parents. Respective longevity of both the parents can be understood from this chart. This chart is also said to reveal the Purva Janma Punya of the native. Here, (as in all divisional charts) the Avashtha of the natural Karaka has to be seen. Here, the Sun represents the father and the Moon represents the mother. Here, the influence on the ninth and the tenth house has to be understood. The Lord of the 88th Dwadashamsha is important in longevity analysis. This chart also is said to reveal whether a person inherits a disease from his parents.

9.Shodhasamsa:
This is to see the promise of conveyances for the native and also accidents through conveyances. For this the Karaka for conveyance, Venus, has to be seen. Affliction to the 4th Lord and the 4th house has to be seen along with the affliction of Venus. This can lead to violent accidents if otherwise also promised in the Birth Chart.

10.Vimshamsa:
This chart is seen for understanding the spiritual progress of the native. This chart is also said to give a clue with regard to the upasana of the native and the preferred deity of the native. The planet placed in the 5th and the 9th houses are important here. The overall exaltation or debilitation of planets holds a clue to understanding the overall growth of the native spiritually.

11.Chaturvimshamsa:
This chart is said to give a finer picture with regard to the education of the individual. The house to be considered is the 5th house. Further, influences on the fifth house have to be seen along with the avashtha of the 5th Lord of the birth chart. The connection of 5th lord with the 6th, 8th and the 12th lord is supposed to bring disturbances and educational change for the native. If however, such planets are under benefic influence the change in education will be for the betterment of the native. Example of this can be that a person does Engineering and then does Management. This constitutes a change technically in astrological term but benefic association makes the change good for the general prosperity of the native.

12.Saptavimshamsha:
This chart is seen to understand the general strengths and weaknesses of the native. It can sometimes be used to find the stamina, endurance and physical strength of an individual.

13.Trimshamsha:
This chart is generally seen to ascertain the miseries, difficulties and diseases for a particular native. This chart in women horoscopy is also said to show the character of the native. It is said that in case of women if Trimshamsha of Mars is rising she is of questionable character. However, this chart can also be read to verify the character in case of a male native.

14.Khavedamsha:
This is generally seen for studying the auspicious and inauspicious effects of horoscope on the native. But, it has to be noted that in prediction this chart cannot be used much as even few seconds of time difference can change the lagna. This should be used only on thoroughly rectified horoscopes.

15.Akshvedamsha:
This is seen for ascertaining the character of the native and for general auspicious and inauspicious effect. Here, as in above case this chart becomes too time-sensitive, making it difficult to take it into account while giving prediction.

16.Shastiamsha:
Maharishi Parashara has given lots of importance to this chart. This should be seen for every prediction. This chart makes the reading interesting and makes the analysis accurate. However, again the limitation of this is that it can be used on an astrologically rectified chart.

Slumdog Millionaire Vs Bollywood: Astro Analysis

Slumdog Millionaire Vs Bollywood: Astro Analysis

In my last article “Transit of Saturn and Bollywood during Recession”, the coming times for Bollywood were discussed. It was plainly stated that Saturn will help the underdogs of the industry who are fighting to survive and who have not been able to win against the established players of the industry. It was also mentioned that a new team of upcoming stars will challenge the established players. The established stars will have to live with fee cuts and reduced offerings.

Here the relevant quote to which I would like to draw attention is “new stars challenging the older stars and giving them run for their money”. The turn of events after Slumdog Millionaire won 8 oscars (8 is very significant because in numerology it is also the number of Saturn) has been on the predicted lines. The lead actress “Frieda Pinto” has got an offer of a whooping 2 to 3 million dollars for her next Hollywood film (as per media reports), a feat which no female lead in India was able to achieve earlier. Though, bollywood actresses have tried their luck in Hollywood, they have only got small and marginal roles in not so popular productions. Hence, we do see youngsters and underdogs giving tough times to even Miss Worlds and Miss Universes.

The second important prediction was “films associated with high moral values will bounce back on production lines”. Saturn, in Vedic astrology stands for the common man. Slumdog Millionaire is a story of struggle of slum dwellers for whom a lowly title “slumdog” was chosen. They lived against all odds including police excesses, human trafficking, gangsters, riots etc and suffered every type of abuse. The story deals with common man with which Saturn is associated. Bollywood produces thousands of films in a year, but they rarely formulate a masterpiece like Slumdog Millionaire. Bollywood films are far away from reality. The production line and commercial film makers never touch the subject of ignorance, poverty and other problems concerning the country. However, Slumdog Millionaire being a commercial success in the world will force producers and directors of Bollywood to make better quality films to earn more.

It is not clear what Aishwarya Rai Bachchan got for her role in “Pink Panther” but it is clear from media reports that “Frieda Pinto” will make 2 to 3 million dollars for her upcoming “Woody Allen” film. The rupees 10 crore to rupees 15 crore bracket remained unachievable by the other lead actresses of India. This shows the powerful effect of Saturn on the underdogs of the film industry.

The Bollywood, is going to change in many ways. There will be adjustments and reductions in the fees of artists. There will be change in the theme of films and the total number of films produced in a single year will also decline.
