Case Study: Bihar CM's Oath Chart

Muhūrta, or electional astrology, holds an important place in Jyotiṣa. It is not merely about selecting a convenient time, but about identifying a moment that supports the intended action in a meaningful way. This process demands careful judgment, as one has to consider multiple factors such as the strength of the Lagna, the condition of its lord, Candra's placement, and the overall harmony of the chart. Even with great effort, arriving at an ideal Muhūrta is rare, which is why the skill of the astrologer becomes essential.

As noted earlier in the discussion on the oath chart of the Maharashtra Chief Minister, the Lagna at the time of the swearing-in ceremony serves as a key indicator. It reflects the character of the government, its stability, and the general direction of its functioning. The rising sign, along with its lord and the influences upon it, offers insight into how the administration may operate, the challenges it could face, and the manner in which it engages with the public and institutions.

Samrat Chaudhary's Oath Chart:

Lagna: The Lagna is occupied by Saumya Kendrādhipati Bṛhaspati, who also functions as a Māraka and is in sambandha with Budha through exchange. Māndi rises in the Lagna aṃśa, which is inauspicious. Bṛhaspati is placed in an inimical rāśi and aspects the 7th house. This shows that the very beginning or formation of the government lacks firmness and clarity of direction.

Candra: The tithi is Kṛṣṇa Trayodaśī. Candra occupies the rāśi of Śani, and the 8th from Candra is severely afflicted by the combined aspect of Sūrya, Kuja, and Rāhu. The only relief comes from the aspect of Śukra.

Lagnādhipati: The Lagneśa Budha is placed in the 10th house along with Candra, Kuja, and Śani. Budha occupies his debilitation sign and is considerably weak. Being hemmed between two malefics, Kuja and Śani, this position is highly unfavourable. It shows poor decision-making, lack of coherence in administration, and policies that may invite criticism or fail to deliver expected results. There can be confusion, reversals, or poorly timed actions. The masses may feel uneasy, dissatisfied, or insecure.

7th House: The opposition is judged from the 7th house. The 7th lord is placed in the Lagna and is under the aspect of Kuja. The opposition retains strength, although it does not possess the numbers required to form the government.

Kārya Bhāva: The 10th house, which signifies action and authority, is ideally to be occupied by benefics such as the 5th lord and 9th lord. Even in debilitation, they can yield favourable outcomes. In this case, the 10th house is occupied by Kuja, the lord of the 6th and 11th, who is in a friendly sign and has obtained digbala. Alongside Kuja is Śani, the 8th and 9th lord, who is unable to produce favourable results. Budha, placed in his debilitation sign, is hemmed between these two malefics. Candra, as the 2nd lord, is also incapable of giving beneficial effects in this configuration. This combination often indicates administrative stress, bureaucratic hurdles, and possible scandals or controversies.

Results:

1. There are likely to be disagreements among ministers and within alliance partners, affecting cohesion.

2. The government may face a decline in reputation due to scandals or allegations of misconduct.

3. The education sector appears particularly vulnerable and may experience significant setbacks.

4. Sections of the public may show signs of unrest, possibly encouraged or influenced by the opposition.

5. The health of certain ministers may become a matter of concern during this period.

6. The opposition should not be underestimated, as it retains the capacity to challenge effectively.

7. Ministers may face situations that lead to embarrassment and damage to their public standing.

8. Expenditure is likely to rise considerably, putting pressure on resources.

9. There may be damage to public property, possibly due to natural calamities.

10. The government may struggle to control criminal activities, as the 12th house is under the malefic aspect of Śani.

11. The agricultural sector requires careful attention, and the ministers concerned need to maintain firm oversight over administrative machinery.

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...

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 ...

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.
