Vedic Astrology By Commander Selvam

I am sure you enjoyed reading the information about 27 stars in the zodiac which was referred in the last month article. The mentioning of star gives the full explanation that the family of sun in the space has to find the location in the space of galaxy. To specify the existing spot in the space while the earth is on travel around the sun, the identifying boundaries are needed. So there exists a star group several million miles away. These star groups are 360 around the earth. With the locations of the Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn, one can find as a snap shot in connection to the birth time of a child or to a specific time. So, in the circle of 360, the identifying places are fixed with zodiac signs of 12 houses which are starting from Aries(Mesha), Taurus(Rishba), Gemini(Miduna), Cancer(Kadaga), Leo(Simam), Virgo(Kanya), Libra(Tulam), Scorpio(Virchiga), Saggitarius(Dhanur), Capricorn(Magara), Aqua(Kumba), Pisces(Meena). For a view of resemblance, each sign is pictured like Goat, Bull etc. For these 12 signs, 27 stars are notified as identification to the houses. Each star is scanned to four parts as 1, 2, 3 and 4 parts for accuracy of area. For example Sign, Aries (Mesha), there are 2 full stars (Ashwin & Bharani) and one star (Maga). 1. Ashwin (Full Star) 2. Bharani (Full Star) and one forth of Krithika belonged to Mesha. The 27 stars are divided to get accommodation in to 12 houses. So every house can be split up to allot two and a quarter of a star in one house, i.e. sign.

The exact meaning to the star, here meant is a street of 13.33 (degree) in a circle, which will be having a group of stars to make a RESEMBLANCE like Horse head. This is the first star group of the sign ARIES. Ashwin in Aries occupy 13.33. Like wise, all the 27 stars are being sub divided to each house to have the accommodations in the 12 Signs. The calculations show one sign to be shared by two and a quarter star-area in a House. Like wise, 2x12=27. The stars are named as below: ASHWIN (1) BHARANI (2) KRITIKA (3) ROHINI (4) MAGA (10) PURNAPHALGUNI(POORAM ) (11) UTTIRAPHALGUNI(UTTRAM ) (12) HASTHA (13) CHITRA (14) SWATI (15) VISAWA (16) ANURADHA(ANUSHA) (17) JEYSTA(KETTAI) (18) MOOLA (19) PURVASHADA(POORADA ) (20) UTTRASHADA (UTTIRADA) (21) SHRAVANA (TIRUWOONAM) (22) DHANISHTA(AVITTAM) (23) SHADHAPISHA(SADAYA) (24) PURWABADRA (POORATTATHI) (25) UTTIRABADRA (UTTIRATTATTHI) (26) REVATHI (27) GROUP 1 GROUP 2 GROUP 3 GROUP 4 GROUP 5 GROUP 6 GROUP 7 GROUP 8 GROUP 9

MRUGASHEERA (5) ARUDRA(TIRUVADIRA I) (6) PUNAR VASU (7) PUSHYA (8) AYILYA (9)

These 27 stars are of 9 groups. The 1st group ASHWIN-MAGA-MOOLA belonged to KEDU; 2nd group for VENUS, 3rd group for SUN, 4th group for MOON, 5th group for MARS, 6th group for RAGU, 7th group for JUPITER, 8th group for SATURN and 9th group for MERCURY. SUN, MOON, MARS, MERCURY, JUPITER, VENUS and SATURN are known to every body. What about RAGU and KEDU? This is to be known clearly. Earth has got the Moon which circles around the earth. The orbital route and the inclination of Moon with its axis rotate to the occurrences of Eclipses. These elliptical occurrences are connecting to the world and on such day of Eclipse, the appearance of Sun or Moon disappears to certain hours that are also merited in Astrology to predict the events in ones life. The day of Eclipse proves that the shadow of earth on an exact day falls on Moon and will mash rays of Sun. Alternatively, in other day, the shadow of Moon falls on Earth. This is the status of the occurrence of eclipse. So Ragu and Kedu are the Nodes of Moon and create shadow. They are not planets but DEEMED as shadow planets. Astrology is terming to give life of a person as 120 years. In olden age they lived such life. Recent times, age is different. Even at the age of 60, the man is

considered very old. For all the 9 planets i.e (7 from Sun to Saturn and 2 of Ragu and Kedu) the time of their REGIME, in a mans life is decided according to the position and place in which the Moon was in TRANSIT. That means the star in which transit occurred comes to an account. This star will be certainly in one group. In the nine groups, the specific group in which the birth took place is taken for account as the first and the beginning period of the planet to which the star is belonging. For example say star Kritika, in the tabulation chart it is annexed in Suns group, so, we call it as Suns Dasa, in which the birth has taken place. In the same order, as indicated above the other planets like Moon, Mars etc will come in a cyclic order. The order is Kedu Dasa will be in ruling for a 7 years; Venus for 20 years, Sun for 6 Years, Moon for 10 years, Mars for 7 years, Ragu for 18 years, Jupiter for 16 years, Saturn for 19 years, Mercury(Buddha) 17 years and thus the total years of 120. When the age is increasing the order of other ruling planets would come to act after completion of one Dasa. The escorting Dasas are always according to the birth time and the occupation of Moon in that particular star. That can be adapted in order as mentioned above. This fundamental knowledge is essential to be known. Otherwise the prediction as per birth chart of Astrology can not be understood.

BIRTH CHART It is 12 Signs, and 27 Stars, and the ruling period of 9 planets are being imprinted in the mind file now. Next thing, we have to chart out the positions of planets and box it in 12 signs. The books panchanga as per the Ephimeries, the government observations are, sold in book shop. It is necessary one should keep the book for one year. The books are released once in a year. For the needy date, one can check up the planets and its position and box it as below. Now the Lagna (Ascendant) is also to be known. On a particular day, the sun rise time of that place and the sign in which the sun is visible to be noted. Actual time of sun rise, the day starts and links to the particular time of birth or proposed program. In the eastern horizon the signs will be ascending and that particular sign is called is be Ascendant/Lagna. By this time sun could have passed the either day or or 3/4 days counting from sun rise.

Like wise, the chart is prepared. From the position of Moon, the MOON SIGN is derived. In Indian Astrology the preference is given to Moon Sign. In news paper, the predictions or signs to be followed are by the Lunar-basic. In Europe, particularly in London, they prefer sun sign. According to them, it is Cancer on 1.8.2007. The Sun will be there for one full month. There will be only one sign for whole one month, which is Cancer. But the Moon will move for other sign with in 2 days as it circles the earth and make one full round with in 28 days. Indian astrology prefers only Moons position. The habit of people who live closer from equator will like the coolness more, where as the people who dwell far away to equator prefer only warmness. That is why its said warm welcome. Warm relates to heat. Likewise, the necessity permitted the usage of LUNAR accommodation to be good for hot country like India, Africa. We will continue further in the next issue.
