The scribe had written a thread on X in 2024 which is converted into an article -

तमसावृते समन्ताज्जलभूते भूतले ततोऽकस्मात् ।
उदितो भगवान् भानुः प्रकाशयन् स्वप्रकाशेन ॥
(Rf. SV)

[When the earth was enveloped in darkness and covered with water all around, then suddenly the blessed Surya arose, illuminating (the universe) with his own light.]

व्यसृजजगत्समस्तं ग्रहर्क्षसंघातकल्पितावगतम् ।
द्वादशभेदैश्चित्रः कालः संप्रस्तुतस्तस्मात् ॥
(Rf. SV)

[From that, Time emerged, creating the entire universe with its collections of planets and stars, manifesting in twelve distinct divisions (signs).]

मेषवृषमिथुनकर्कटसिंहाः कन्या तुलाथ वृश्चिककः ।
धन्वी मकरः कुम्भो मीनाविति राशिनामानि ॥
(Rf. SV)

[Mesa, Vrishabha, Mithuna, Karka, Simha, Kanya, Thula, Vrischika, Dhanu, Makara, Kumbha and Mina are the names of the twelve signs.]

द्वादशमण्डलभगणं तस्यार्धे सिंहतो रविर्नाथः । 
कर्कटकात्प्रतिलोमं शशी तथान्येऽपि तत्स्थानात् ॥ (Rf. SV)

[The zodiacal half beginning with Simha till Makara is ruled by Surya. The other half beginning with Karka and ending with Kumbha is ruled by Candra.]

The Yavanas have stated that —

इदं जगत् स्थावरजङ्गमाख्यं सर्वं रवीन्द्वात्मकमाहुराद्याः । 
तस्योद्भवोऽत्रापचयश्च दृष्टो भूमण्डलेऽप्येव तदात्मकं तत् ॥ (Rf. VYJ)

[This entire universe of the animate and inanimate is pervaded by Surya and Candra. Its creation and destruction are also connected with Surya and Candra. Similarly, the zodiac wheel is also of the nature of Surya and Candra.]

तस्यार्धमार्क विहितं मघादि सार्पादि चान्द्रं विहितं परार्धम् । 
क्रमेण सूर्यः प्रददौ ग्रहाणां न्यस्तेन ताराधिपतिस्तथैव ॥ (Rf. VYJ)

The Nakṣatra beginning with Maghā are ruled by Sūrya while the ones beginning with Aslesa are ruled by Candra. Sūrya and Candra have given the other Grahas the rulership over the Nakṣatras and Rāśis.

बुधस्य शुक्रस्य धरासुतस्य बृहस्पतेर्भास्करनन्दनस्य ।
द्वे द्वे गृहे तेषु यथानुरूपं फलं विधेयं निपुणं विदग्धैः ॥
(Rf. VYJ)

[Sūrya and Candra have given the ownership over two Rāśi-s each to Budha, Śukra, Kuja, Bṛhaspati and Śani. The learned should remember this while making predictions.]

Surya being the King chose to take possession of Simha, whereas Candra, the Queen, opted to take ownership of Karka. Later, the rest of the Grahas according to their speeds, approached Surya and Candra for allotment of the rest of the signs. Budha, the swiftest of the Aprakasha Grahas, acquired Kanya from Surya and Mithuna from Candra. Śukra was granted dominion over Thula and Vrishabh. Kuja received Vrischika and Mesha, while Guru was assigned Dhanu and Mina. Śani, the slowest of all Grahas, was allocated Makara and Kumbha.

(Rf. SV)

[If more Grahas are in Simha to Makara, the native is courageous, brilliant and valorous. If majority of Grahas are in Karka to Kumbha, the native is generous, soft in nature and fortunate.]

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. I trust that the process of predicting professions will no more cause distress for the students of Jyotisha.  I reviewed numerous articles and books which are written on professions. 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.

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

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.
