Nādi Jyotiṣa: Some Unknown Principles

The Nādi Jyotiṣa, while seemingly straightforward, is actually one of the most intricate systems. Engaging in Nadi astrology is quite challenging; it requires a robust spiritual foundation and a comprehensive understanding of Karakatvas, as predictions may be inaccurate without these elements. In contemporary society, there is a notable trend among students favoring quick and simplified techniques over the traditional methods established by the Rṣis, Sri Varāhamihira, and other esteemed Acharyas. Numerous Nadi texts exist, including Bhrigu Nadi, Sukar Nadi, Dhruva Nadi, Satya Nadi, Agastya Nadi, and Bhargava Nadi, yet many remain neglected in government libraries. A select few, such as Chandrakala Nadi, Saptarshi Nadi, and Dhruva Nadi, have been published, with their methodologies proving to be remarkably accurate and dependable. Recently, Bhrigu Nandi Nadi has gained significant attention due to its impressive predictive techniques. However, upon reviewing several pages of this text, the scribe found it perplexing and thus left it unfinished. Notably, Sri C. S. Patel and Sri K Guru Rajesh have made commendable contributions to the field of Nadi Jyotiṣa. In this article, the scribe has included a selection of rare verses from Nadi scriptures, such as those from Chandrakala Nadi, Saptarishi Nadi, Bhargava Nadika, and Bhrigu Nadi.




1. Chandrakala Nadi


A} Problems To The Father —


रविदृक्काणगे मन्दे त्वंशे वा द्वादशांशे ।

गोचरे क्रूरमासेषु पितृपीडां विनिर्दिशेत् ॥


ravidṛkkāṇage mande tvaṃśe vā dvādaśāṃśe |

gocare krūramāseṣu pitṛpīḍāṃ vinirdiśet ||


[Problems to the father are indicated if Shani in transit is in the Rashi identical to the Drekkana, Navamsa or Dwadasamsa occupied by Surya during an unfavourable Gochara or a Kroora month.]


Notes: Notice that this Shloka is very different from the other verses where "...अंशे तत् त्रिकोणे स्फुटयोगे गतौ शनौ" is used. Thus, this principle is applied on the Drekkana, Navamsa and Dwadasamsa positions and not it's trines. Similarly, one must determine results for mother from Chandra, children from Brihaspati, etc.


B} Definition Of Kroora Month —


रन्ध्रेशाक्रान्तभवनदृष्टराश्यंशकत्रिकोणगा: ।

क्रूरमासा इति ख्याताः क्रूराब्दे योजयेत्‌ क्रमात ॥


randhreśākrāntabhavanadṛṣṭarāśyaṃśakatrikoṇagā: |

krūramāsā iti khyātāḥ krūrābde yojayet‌ kramāt ||


[The month when Surya transits in trines to the Rashi occupied by the 8th Lord, Rashis aspected by him or the Navamsa occupied by him is termed as Kroora Masa. Similar transit of Brihaspati is called as Kroorabda.]


Illustrations —




Smt. Indira Gandhi's mother, Kamala Nehru, passed away on 28 February 1936 when both Surya and Shani were in Kumbha over the Chandra's Navamsa position. Surya was in Mithuna and Shani was in Simha when her son Sanjay Gandhi passed away. 5th Lord Kuja is Vargottama in Simha.


2. Saptarishi Nadi 


A} Identifying Birth Place —



The Lagna and Chandra Lagna indicate the conditions at the time of birth. The influence on the Lagna reveals the surroundings of the place of birth. Both Surya (Pratyaksh Narayan) and Budha represent Shri Vishnu. Here, Lagna is in Mesha while it's Lord Kuja is with Budha in the 9th house (temples) in Sagittarius (Sattvaguna Rashi). Kuja is the dispositor of Surya (temples) and connects with Chandresh Budha. Both, Kuja and Budha aspect Chandra Lagna in Mithuna with 7th aspect. Thus, the Lagna and Chandra Lagna is influenced by symbols of Shri Vishnu. According to the Nadi, native is born near a Vishnu temple.


B} A Native Born On  Mithuna Lagna —


Source: "Saptarishi Nadi Gemini Ascendant" translated by Sri Yenebeeyes, Saptarishis Astrology Magazine.



The 4th Lord Budha is with Shukra in a Kendra while the 8th and 9th Lord Shani is placed in the 4th Bhava. He will construct a beautiful house. The Lagna is aspected by three Saumya Grahas viz. Guru, Shukra and Budha. He will have good character, which will be praised by others. He is a compassionate person. He avoids speaking words that hurt others. As Budha and Shukra (Rajas Guna) are placed in the 7th Bhava, the native will be dear to his wife. The ascendant is a dual sign aspected by Budha, a Graha representing duality. The native will have dual character. He will have bilious nature of body as Chandra is influenced by Surya and Kuja.


Notes: The Nādi only mentions the predictions. The scribe has added astrological explanations according to his limited understanding.


3. Bhargava Nadika


A} Effects Of Budha's Daśā —


क्रूरषष्ठांशसौम्यस्य दशाकाले महद्भयम् । 

चोराग्निभूपैर्भीतिः स्याच्छुभदृग्योगवर्जिते ॥


krūraṣaṣṭhāṃśasaumyasya daśākāle mahadbhayam | 

corāgnibhūpairbhītiḥ syācchubhadṛgyogavarjite ||


[During the Dasha of Budha placed in a cruel 60th division, there is great fear. There will be fear from thieves, fire, and kings if it is not associated with benefic aspects.]


मृद्वंशादियुते सौम्ये राज्यलाभो महत्सुखम् । 

मार्दवः सर्वभूतेषु कृषिपुत्रार्थसंपदः ॥


mṛdvaṃśādiyute saumye rājyalābho mahatsukham | 

mārdavaḥ sarvabhūteṣu kṛṣiputrārthasaṃpadaḥ ||


[The Dasha of Budha placed in gentle divisions, there is attainment of kingdom and great happiness. There is gentleness toward all beings, and wealth from agriculture, children, and property.]


सौम्ये वैशेषिकांशस्थे विशेषाद्राजपूज्यता । 

सुगन्धाम्बरमाल्यं च विद्यागोष्ठीरहस्यता ॥ 


saumye vaiśeṣikāṃśasthe viśeṣādrājapūjyatā | 

sugandhāmbaramālyaṃ ca vidyāgoṣṭhīrahasyatā || 


[When Budha is positioned in Vaisheshikamsa, there is special honor from kings. One gets fragrant clothes and garlands, and participates in scholarly discussions and secrets.]


क्रूरद्रेक्काणसंयुक्तश्चन्द्रसूनुर्यदा तदा । 

चोराग्निभूपतिभयं स्थाननाशो महद्भयम् ॥


krūradrekkāṇasaṃyuktaścandrasūnuryadā tadā | 

corāgnibhūpatibhayaṃ sthānanāśo mahadbhayam ||


[When Budha is placed in a cruel decanate, then there is fear from thieves, fire, and kings, loss of position, and great danger.]


Notes: The text outlines fundamental principles for evaluating the Daśā. When the Daśā Lord occupies a malefic Shashtiamsa, the individual tends to exhibit a harsh temperament. The fluctuations in behavior corresponding to the Daśā can be anticipated through the D60 Ansa Lord. Conversely, if the Daśā Lord resides in a benevolent Shashtiamsa, the individual experiences a serene and tranquil atmosphere during that Daśā.


4. Bhrigu Nadi 


A} Appearance & Arudha Lagna —


लग्नारूढपदे शुक्रे वीक्षिते वा प्रजायते । 

रूपवान्‌ सुभगः कान्तः प्रसन्नमुखनेत्रवान्‌ ॥ 

अदृष्टशाली मेधावी राजयोगयुतो भवेत्‌ । 


lagnārūḍhapade śukre vīkṣite vā prajāyate | 

rūpavān‌ subhagaḥ kāntaḥ prasannamukhanetravān‌ || 

adṛṣṭaśālī medhāvī rājayogayuto bhavet‌ | 


[Should Shukra occupy or aspect the Lagna Arudha Pada, the native born will be beautiful, lucky, of agreeable nature, having bewitching face and eyes, fortunate, wise and shall be having a Raja yoga.]


Notes: Arudha Lagna indicates once external appearance.


Illustration —



The chart belongs to Princess Louise, the sixth child of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert; the Duchess of Argyll. She was a graceful, beautiful, indiscreet woman with unconventional views and a volatile temperament.

Bṛhat Yogārṇava: Some Explanations On Graha Yogas

These are some excerpts from upcoming (unplanned) workshop on interpreting the Graha Yogas (planetary combinations). Image Source: Pinterest Combination 1: Mukhasya Vigandhatā (Foul Odour From Mouth) Jātakatattva 3.1.290. When Candra and Śukra occupy Meṣa and Budha occupies Lagna or 6th house, the person emits a foul odour from his mouth. A foul odour emanating from the mouth or body is traditionally associated with aggravation of Pitta Doṣa. In this combination, both Candra and Śukra are placed in Meṣa Rāśi, a sign ruled by Kuja, who is fiery and strongly connected with Pitta. When bodily heat increases abnormally, digestion becomes irregular, bile is aggravated, and unpleasant smell can emerge through the mouth, sweat, or skin. Thus, the sign itself provides the fiery foundation for the result. Candra governs rasa, bodily fluids, nourishment, and emotional softness. Śukra governs reproductive fluids, vitality, fragrance, and bodily charm. When these naturally gentle planets are place...

Jyotiṣārṇava: The Jyotisha Of Professions

In today's world, there exists a vast array of opportunities for education, careers, and various professions. Unlike in ancient times, it is no longer a given that the son of a king will inherit the throne. As opportunities expand, many individuals are choosing to pursue their careers abroad. Accurately interpreting this information from a horoscope can be a complex endeavor. Nevertheless, by employing a few established and effective techniques, this task becomes significantly more manageable. In this article, I present a method that has been in use for over 4,000 years, which I refer to as 'Mihira's Master Method,' along with several other straightforward principles. It is important to note that numerous example horoscopes are included in this discussion.

In one particular book, the method...

Shukra In The 12th Bhava

In Jyotiṣa, the Graha Bhāva Phala is a significant subject that has been explored by the Rishis and Acharyas. It holds considerable importance in the realm of Bhava Analysis. There exist several classical texts, some of which remain unknown to the astrological community and are held by the scribe, that have thoroughly addressed the Graha Bhāva Phala. The scribe has endeavored to compile all findings related to Shukra's placement in the 12th Bhava, which is regarded as particularly unique and intriguing in its own right. General Dictum Image: Shukra.  Source: Pinterest. मीनोच्चः स्त्री च नीचस्तुलवृषभपतिः वैरिणौ भानुचन्द्रौ ।  सामान्यौ पूज्यभौमौ तदनु च सुहृदौ सौम्यमन्दौ ग्रहौ द्वौ ॥  सम्प्राप्तौ लाभगेहे तनुसुखजनके कोणकोशे प्रशस्तः ।  अन्ये भावे च शस्तो वदति च विदुषः पूर्वग्रन्थेषु तज्ज्ञः ॥ (Rf.

Experiences In Jyotiṣa: Some Case Studies

Case 1: Kāma, Manas, Jyotiṣa & 7th House An astrological chart reveals many aspects of a person’s life and very little remains hidden from a skilled astrologer. One among these is the sexual tendencies of the native. This should not be treated as a taboo subject, as the classical texts discuss such matters quite openly. It is the moral responsibility of an astrologer to guide his clients if they are moving on the wrong path. Image Source: Pinterest In the given chart, the 7th Lord Śani is debilitated and retrograde, and it casts its aspect on the 7th house itself. The 7th house, which is also the debilitation sign of Bṛhaspati, receives the aspect of Bṛhaspati who owns the 6th and the 9th houses. Bṛhaspati is associated with Budha, the 3rd Lord, and Sūrya, the 2nd Lord. Thus, the 7th house is under malefic influence. 7th house from Candra is in Krura Kartari as the 6th house is aspected by Śani and 8th is occupied by Kuja. The 7th Lord from Candra happens to be Kuja who is under ...

Jyotiṣārṇava: Combinations Related To 10th House

This article has been originally written in Hindi. English version has been attached along with it after the completion of the article. Image Source: Pinterest दशमभाव संबंधित कतिपय सूत्र: 1. विश्व के समस्त यशस्वी व्यक्तियों की कुण्डली में या तो दशम भाव में कोई ग्रह स्थित होता है अथवा दशमेश बलवान होता है। 2. दशम भाव आकाश का द्योतक माना गया है, अतः पदोन्नति, उन्नति तथा सफलता के लिए इसका विशेष महत्व है। यदि नवमेश, पंचमेश आदि शुभ ग्रह दशम भाव में स्थित हों, तो वे आर्थिक वृद्धि कराते हैं। 3. यदि दो राजपुत्रों की कुण्डलियाँ सामने हों और यह विचार करना हो कि कौन सिंहासन के योग्य है, तो निस्संदेह वही योग्य होगा जिसका दशम भाव और दशमेश बलवान हो। इससे दशम भाव का महत्व स्पष्ट होता है। 4. कुछ विद्वानों का मत है कि जिस कुण्डली में दशम भाव रिक्त हो, उसे देखना ही नहीं चाहिए। यद्यपि यह कथन विनोदार्थ है, तथापि इससे दशम भाव की महत्ता का ही प्रतिपादन होता है। 5. दशमेश यदि पंचमेश या नवमेश के साथ युक्त होकर दशम भाव में स्थित हो, तो समस्त कार्य सिद्ध होते हैं और ऐसा जातक राजपद प्राप्त करता है। 6. दशम भाव में ...

Government Jobs: Planetary Indications

One of the most common questions that the Indian community asks an astrologer is whether they will obtain a government job. For many people, it is seen as a symbol of stability, prestige, and social status. In many cases, astrologers make the mistake of predicting a government job merely because Sūrya is placed in the 10th house or happens to be exalted. Such a conclusion is often too simplistic. The 10th house certainly has relevance, but it is not the primary factor. Greater attention should be given to the 5th house, which reflects intelligence and the capacity to succeed in competitive examinations. Along with this, the 6th house should ideally be weaker in comparison to the Lagna. It is also important to examine whether the individual possesses sound morals and ethical conduct. Finally, the Daśā and the Gocara must provide adequate support at the right time for success in the examination and clearing the interviews.
